NFL Rookie Watch: OROY Candidates
Sudeep Tumma
As fans get ready for NFL Rookie watch, they are anxious to see how the new players will fit into their new teams. Everyone is trying to figure out who the gems are in this year's fantasy football draft. Oops, may have said too much. So let's take a look at the players in contention of winning Offensive Rookie of the Year.
NFL Rookie Watch:
The Number 1 Pick: Baker Mayfield (Round 1, Pick 1): Cleveland Browns
I'll admit it, I'm skeptical of any QB coming out of the Big 12. Ready for the list? Sam Bradford, Andy Dalton, Robert Griffin III, Bryce Petty, Landry Jones, Brandon Weeden, Trevone Boykin, Colt McCoy, Geno Smith. With many of these players going in the first round, it's fair to question how Big 12 QBs will fare in the NFL. So why does this happen? The Big 12 plays absolutely atrocious defense, inflating the numbers of all offensive players in the Big 12.
While I believe Mayfield's stats are a bit inflated, there's no denying his talent. The senior from Oklahoma University dropped 4627 yards on 43 TDs to only 6 INTs. This on an insane 11.5 YPA. Let's not forget his elite 70.5% completion percentage. Baker's arm talent is undeniable and his accuracy is on point. He is a winner and a competitor at every stage in his career. My concerns with Mayfield stem from his lack of maturity and his size. At only 6'1" Mayfield is a bit undersized for the QB position.
Taking a look at the 2018 season, Mayfield should slide right into the starting QB spot, with no real competition in sight. Mayfield has the talent to succeed and a plethora of weapons to work with. Josh Gordon, Jarvis Landry, Corey Coleman, and David Njoku will all be at his disposal. The Cleveland Browns are not the picture of perfection, but Mayfield has every chance to succeed.
The Favorite: Saquon Barkley (Round 1, Pick 2): New York Giants
Drafted right after no. 1 pick Baker Mayfield, Saquon was born to be a star. At 6'0" 233 lbs, the electrifying running back from Penn State is ready to storm the NFL. Saquon played in the Big 10, one of the toughest conferences in college football. Despite this, he still dropped 1903 yards from scrimmage and a whopping 21 total TDs.
Saquon has elite measurables with his 4.40 40 yard dash, 29 bench press reps, and 4.24 20 yard shuttle. Saquon oozing with potential. The athleticism, cuts, and vision are unprecedented. Saquon is a legit 3 down back, in addition to being an excellent kick returner. With no real limiting weakness for Barkley, the sky's the limit.
The only real thing that would keep Barkley from winning OROY is the offensive line. New GM Dave Gettleman has done a great job improving this year 's line from last year's. However, it still remains to be seen how well this unit can block for Barkley. No matter what, Barkley will make a difference. Barkley is an excellent kick returner and an even better receiver. He will find a way to make his impact felt.
The Most Underrated: Kerryon Johnson (Round 2, Pick 11): Detroit Lions
Here's one you've never heard. The 6'0" 213 lbs running back from Auburn had a fantastic Junior year. Playing in the SEC is no joke. This is regularly one of the toughest conferences in college football. Johnson still managed 1391 rushing yards on 18 TDs, all while averaging a solid 4.9 YPC.
Watching Johnson I had only one thought. Le'Veon Bell. Johnson showed tremendous patience, trusting his offensive line to create holes before busting through. He has a great burst and shiftiness, he's very good at changing speeds. He isn't just a speed guy however, he has the bruising ability to knock down defenders. The concern with Johnson is his durability. His smaller frame combined with his play style could shorten his NFL career.
All in all, Johnson is a great runner and a solid receiver out of the backfield. He should immediately slide into the starting RB role for the Lions. Ameer Abdullah clearly isn't the answer or the Lions. Much like Barkley, the Lions o line will be the determinant of Johnson's success. Unlike Barkley however, Johnson doesn't have the supporting cast or versatile skill set to make an impact without a sound o line. Although Johnson has concerns about his longevity, I can see him having a very successful season.
The Surprise: D.J Moore (Round 1, Pick 24): Carolina Panthers
The Panthers stunned the world by making D.J Moore the first wide receiver taken off the board in the draft. The Junior from The University of Maryland has often been compared to fellow terp Stefon Diggs. Standing at 6'0" 210 lbs, Moore is larger than Diggs who is 6'0" 190 lbs, but the comparisons are there. Moore has a great season at UMD finishing with 80 receptions, 1003 yards, and 8 TDs.
Like Diggs, Moore is capable of playing both the slot and outside receiver. He is a monster after the catch. He's a QB's best friend, with strong hands and ability to work back to the QB. He is extremely athletic and quick, running an explosive 4.42 40 yard dash at the combine. His main concern is his route running. Running simple hitches and screens in college, Moore will look to expand his route tree in the NFL. His 6'0" frame causes questions on how well he will be able to play as an outside WR at the next level.
While the move to draft Moore was surprising considering Calvin Ridley still on the board, the Panthers clearly saw something in Moore to draft him. Moore will have something of an uphill battle to snaps and targets on a crowded Panthers receiving core. Carolina is already a run-heavy team, D.J. Moore will also be fighting for targets behind Greg Olsen, Devin Funchess, Christian McCaffery, and Torrey Smith (yeah, I bet you forgot he exists). If Moore can work his way up to the no. 1 WR, Moore can have an impactful rookie year.
The Best Situation: Michael Gallup (Round 3, Pick 17): Dallas Cowboys
Michael Gallup has seemingly fallen into a perfect situation. The Cowboys just lost Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, losing a full 272 targets and 169 receptions from a season ago. With Terrance Williams recently getting arrested, the Cowboys are in serious need of help at receiver. Dallas signed Allen Hurns to be their no. 1 wide receiver, a role he will struggle with. With this passing game scaring no one, teams will stack the box to stop star RB Zeke Elliott and will send their best cornerback to cover Hurns. This will leave many mouth-watering opportunities for Gallup to exploit.
So who is Gallup? A player with the athletic ability and talent to go in the first round, he spent his first two years in community college due to low SAT scores. He then transferred to Colorado State University, where he shredded defenses on the regular. Gallup ended up with a 176-2690-21 line in 2 years at CSU. At 6'1" 205 lbs, Gallup is a good athlete and with solid size. He is very quick and runs solid routes. However, Gallup needs to work on polishing his routes a bit. He also needs to be more focused during games He sometimes shows a lack of effort and/or loses concentration when things go wrong.
Gallup is raw, to say the least, but is in the best situation to succeed. He can easily take over as the no. 1 WR in an offense led by up and coming QB Dak Prescott. Gallup certainly has the talent to thrive as a rookie, it will be within himself to find success.
The Most to Prove: Josh Allen (Round 1, Pick 7): Buffalo Bills
The redshirt Junior from Wyoming was one of the hottest debates of the NFL draft. The 6'5" 237 lbs Quarterback has all the physical tools to succeed. Allen had no FBS recruitment interest after high school, so he joined Reedley Community College in California. After a year, Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl recruited Allen to Wyoming. Allen went on to have a very solid sophomore year. He passed for 3203 yards and 28 TDs. His junior year was not so successful, only throwing for 1812 yards and 16 TDs.
So why did Allen go so high? His arm strength is unprecedented for one, it compares to that of Matthew Stafford. He can make every pass in the book, his arm strength is something you cannot teach. He has the prototypical frame for an NFL QB. He moves deceptively well, showing the ability to shake off pass rushers with his size and evading them with his speed. The issue with Allen is his accuracy. He never threw higher than 56.3% in either of his seasons at Wyoming. Some scouts have seriously hinged on this, citing that his accuracy issues may lead to his demise. I took the opportunity to watch Allen play against Central Michigan in the MWC championship game. While I did see Allen struggle with accuracy at times, I believe it is blown out of proportion. Allen had an awful supporting cast, receivers who couldn't gain any separation at all. I saw Allen make fantastic throws with his lighting quick arm leading to an 11-19, 154 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT game.
Allen is the definition of boom-or-bust. The arm can take only take you so far, as Jay Cutler has shown us all his career. However, Allen has fallen into a solid scenario with the Bills. The team will continue to run through star RB LeSean McCoy. This will give Allen the time to develop as a passer. The play action opportunities created by "Shady" McCoy will present Allen with easier throws than he had in college. Allen will also have the luxury of a real no. 1 WR in Kelvin Benjamin along with solid receivers Jeremy Kerley and Charles Clay. In 5 years, Allen could very be the best QB from this class. The immediate future is not so clear. While the expectation is for Allen to struggle as a rookie, who knows, maybe he'll surprise everyone.
The Trickiest Situation: Sony Michel (Round 1, Pick 31): New England Patriots
Sony Michel is an interesting case. He was the 2nd best running back draft prospect after all-world talent Saquon Barkley. Michel drew serious comparisons to Alvin Kamara. The 5'11" 214 lbs senior from Georgia was a stud in college. Michel served as a complement to fellow star running back Nick Chubb. Do not mistake that for incompetence on Michel's part. Michel ended the season with 1227 rushing yards & 16 TDs with an insane 7.9 YPC. This all while playing in the SEC, one of the toughest conferences in college football.
Michel is a great blend of speed, size, and vision. A true 3 down back, Michel is also a very good receiver, adding to his versatility. Michel rips through arm tackles and plows through defenders. He is also a great blocker, understanding blitz pickups very well. The thing teams love most about Michel is his leadership skills. He is a well respected and vocal leader. The issues with Michel are on his cuts. He needs to work on tightening his cuts, making them sharper. He also often tries to bully defenders instead of using elusiveness.
Michel has landed in a crowded backfield including Rex Burkhead, Dion Lewis, and new FA signing Jeremy Hill. Michel is the most talented of these players, but as everyone has learned, things don't come easy with Bill Belichick. Michel's 12 fumbles his senior year will make it increasingly tougher to stay on the field. Belichick is infamous for benching his running backs after just one fumble, never to be heard from again. Michel will be on a short leash. With all the talent at RB on this roster, Michel's path to bell cow status will be tough. However, Michel does have all the talent to become that starter, it will be interesting to see what happens.
The One You Don't Know: Mike Gesicki (Round 2, Pick 10): Miami Dolphins
Gesicki is huge. Not just big, he's huge. I'm talking Jimmy Graham size. At 6'6" 247 lbs, Gesicki towers over his opponents. A shade under Jimmy Graham's 6'7" 265 lbs, Gesicki is equally fast. Gesicki ran a 4.54 40 yard dash, just a click faster than Graham's 4.56. Gesicki can also jump out of the building, showcased with his 41.5 inch vertical. For a point of reference, Jimmy Graham has a 38.5 inch vertical.
Playing at Penn State Gesicki was often overshadowed by Saquon Barkley. Do not be fooled by that, Gesicki was still PSU's best receiver. Big & strong, Gesicki caused matchup problems on the regular, making life easy for QB Trace McSorley to throw it up to him. Gesicki scored 9 TDs, an impressive mark considering the tough defense of the Big 10 and how often PSU would hand the ball to Saquon Barkley at the goal line. Gesicki also has great hands, he dropped 2 of a possible 59 catchable targets. The one knock on Gesicki is his blocking. He struggles as both a run blocker and pass blocker, something he will look to improve on in the NFL. The Dolphins did not draft Gesicki to be a blocker. They drafted a player who can play in-line, split out to the slot, or even be the outside WR. Gesicki will shred the seams and dominate the red zone.
Gesicki's outlook for 2018 is bright. With the only other real receiving threat on the Dolphins being DeVante Parker. The only possible issue keeping Gesicki off the field is his blocking, And his only real issue on the field is QB play. While QB Ryan Tannehill has yet to prove his worth, he is more than capable of hitting his receivers. Gesicki will be one of the most interesting to cases to watch, the talent is clearly there but, it remains to be seen how everything will come together.
The Unfortunate Legacy: Sam Darnold (Round 1, Pick 3): New York Jets
Butt fumble anyone? Former Jets QB and USC star Mark Sanchez still has his imprints all over this team. USC has never produced a good starting QB. They have produced guys like Cody Kessler, Matt Barkley, and Matt Leinart. Fortunately, Darnold is not any of those guys. Darnold stole the starting QB job as a redshirt freshman. He went on to have a very solid freshman year, which ended with a marvelous comeback victory over Penn State in the Rose Bowl. A game in which Darnold threw for 453 yards and 5 TDs. Darnold's last year ended with a very solid 4143 passing yards and 26 TDs.
Darnold has prototypical size for a QB at 6'3" 221 lbs. He is big, strong, and athletic. Darnold has solid arm talent and is a great pocket passer. Although he is a pocket passer, he is still more than capable of scrambling and creating yards. Darnold's main concern is his 13 interceptions & 11 fumbles his sophomore year. Darnold had the propensity to turn the ball over far too often, something he will need to improve on.
Scouts were in agreement, Darnold was the best QB prospect in this year's class. The Jets got their man after trading down to no. 3 overall. Darnold's floor is very high, with the tools and skill to develop into a star. Darnold will step into an interesting situation with a receiving core that overachieved last year. Darnold will need to win the starting job over Josh McCown before anything, then the sky's the limit for Darnold.
The LSU Prodigy: Derrius Guice (Round 2, Pick 27): Washington Redskins
Life isn't easy when you lose a superstar running back like Leonard Fournette. It was for LSU however, with star running back Derrius Guice ready to carry the load. Guice was unhealthy for almost all of the 2017 season. Taking a look at his 2016 season, Guice ran for 1251 yards and 11 TDs on an insane 7.6 YPC. Like Johnson and Michel, Guice is a fellow member of the SEC.
At 5'11" 224 lbs, Guice is a big bruising back. He punishes defenders and trucks through them at will. Do not mistake him for a slow power back though, he ran a solid 4.49 40 yard dash, showing off his speed and explosiveness. He has quality vision and creates big plays on the regular. Guice needs to improve as a receiver as well as in pass protection. Guice also takes a large number of hits, which raises questions about his durability in the future.
Guice should easily be able to unseat teammate Samaje Perine for the starting gig in Washington. Perine has shown he's nothing more than a two down plodder. While some may question Guice's receiving ability, he is still capable of creating big plays as a receiver. The concerns on Guice's longevity are valid considering his play style, but you cannot question his potential impact as a rookie. The ball is in Guice's court, where he goes from here will be up to him.
The Best Fantasy Impact: Ronald Jones II (Round 2, Pick 6): Tampa Bay Buccaneers
While Saquon Barkley has a case here, I believe Ronald Jones II has the better opportunity here. With Doug Martin getting cut this offseason, Jones will easily slide into the starting role. Jones ran a 4.65 40 time, not the time you want to see from a running back. However, the athleticism and explosiveness are more than evident on the game tape. Jones ran for a fantastic 1550 yards with 19 TDs including a healthy 5.9 YPC.
Jones is electric. He is extremely elusive and has elite quickness. Jones has everything you want from an RB. He allows his blocking to set up then uses his ability to get down the field. He was not an amazing pass catcher at USC but is a more than capable receiver. The main concern for Jones is his touch count from last year. Jones had a whopping 275 touch season, causing concern for his durability. Jones' played next Sam Darnold in USC, he was a perfect compliment for the QB.
Ronald Jones II seems to have fallen right into the great situation. While the Bucs didn't have the best offensive line last year, they made moves to improve this offseason. A team with inconsistent run games the past few years, they will be looking to get back to that power run game with Jameis Winston still developing. Ronald Jones will be in tremendous shape to win OROY, assuming he stays healthy.
So Who Will Win?
There is a plethora of talent in this year's draft, all in unique situations. It is tough to determine the winner as it is contingent on so many factors. For rookies adjustment to the NFL is key. Wide receivers need to learn to deal with press coverage. Running backs deal with bigger, faster, and stronger defenders. Tight ends take bigger hits and deal with faster defenders. Quarterbacks need to adjust to the speed of NFL plays and complex coverages of defenses. The situation for each player is also important. Players may have more/less of an opportunity than the next player, but need to prove their talent regardless. Injuries will obviously derail anyone's season, players will need to stay healthy to be productive.
Considering all the factors I will have to stick with Saquon Barkley as the winner. The stud from Penn State has way too much talent and has landed in a solid situation. I see no way he cannot produce this season.

Continuing our journey through South East Asia, we've made it to the east coast country of Vietnam. Rich in culture and history, join me as we go from the craziness of Ho Chi Minh City to the remote fishing village of Bai Xep with Stray Asia.
We caught a bus to take us from Phnom Penh in Cambodia across the border and into Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) formally known as Saigon. After a long bus ride and brief customs process we arrived into the city in the pouring rain and had to find our way to our accommodation.
We soon found our way to our wonderfully cheap hostel after battling the streets with seemingly millions of motorcyclists rushing in every direction. A relaxed evening was spent attempting to find a market and instead finding a supermarket and getting confused, so we headed in for an early night before a day of sightseeing and familiarising ourselves with the city the following day.
For our full day in HCMC we wanted to cram in as much as possible. We started off at a contemporary art gallery which was very quirky, the abstract vibe not helped by us somehow going around it backwards.
Next was the Central Post Office and Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, which when we came to see them were beautiful historical buildings, and you certainly got a sense of the original French colonisation and influence on the architecture.
From there we made our way to Ho Chi Minh Square which is a grand road leading up to the City Hall and lined with pretty flower beds. A fantastic statue of Ho Chi Minh himself awaits you just before the hall, and this area is particularly popular and known for its large and rather fancy shopping mall.
We then made our way to the museums, only to find that the Reunification Palace and War Remnants Museum were closed for a couple of hours at lunch… Always research before you visit! We had been caught out with this before, it's extremely common to be left with little to do during hours in the late morning or early afternoon as pretty much any place of interested closes up. It's understandable because of the heat, however the frequency with which this occurs means that at least a couple of hours you're left stranded and sometimes those couple of hours are stretched out a fair amount more. It's a bit like a siesta, except for unassuming tourists it leaves us reassessing our daily plan!
Eventually we got into the War Remnants Museum, and it was SO worth it. As you might imagine, the museum focuses on the Vietnamese-American War (called the American War in Vietnam for obvious reasons). This was a topic I knew a little about, but was extremely fuzzy on the details. This museum had all the bare facts, the cold hard truths and some really sad and heart breaking images and facts.
We spent a while taking in as much as possible, but eventually it becomes hard to focus as each room becomes worse than the last. The most devastating part of the museum is seeing the effects of agent orange and how it affected not just the Vietnamese directly, but the American soldiers and the families of those infected with the chemicals and passing it on through generations. It hadn't occurred to me before now that seeing locals with a physical disability might be due to in some way being affected by the war and agent orange, and wanted so much to help them because of course it's not fair that they should have to continue suffering and even worse beg on the streets in order to survive.
You come away from the museum enlightened, but also baffled and disappointed with the mistakes of humans at war. Humans are capable of some truly awful actions, and especially in war normal people are warped into something else entirely, the effects of which leave whole countries of people in the middle of political mayhem. The events destroyed so many lives and aspects of this beautiful country, and this museum offered a new perspective while trying to remain impartial.
After thoroughly appreciating all that the War Remnant's Museum has to offer, we realised we were there until closing time! It's probably just as well, as we were so captured by the stories and wanting to learn more we would have easily spent all our time reading every detail that was available to us.
Leaving so late did mean that we were unable to visit inside the Reunification Palace, but did manage to take a sneaky picture just before the gates closed. At least we can say we've been there! Now I can't really make an accurate comparison between these two museums, but from what I understand the Reunification Palace is more generalised, so if it's the Vietnam-America War you're interested in learning about then I would absolutely recommend the War Remnants Museum.
A quick stop off at the enormous Ben Thanh Market was a great end to the day, but we were far too exhausted to really get into the battering spirit. Our time spent in the ex-capital city was frantic and extremely busy, but we were so glad that we were able to really utilise the vast number of activities and attractions on offer because it really was worth it, and gave us a real insight into the beginnings of what Vietnam would be like.
Next stop on our never ending bus journey was to Da Lat. The town is situated fairly high above sea level, and so a welcome couple of nights sleeping a much more comfortable temperature were very much needed. This area is known for being the place that most fresh produce comes from, as the more temperate climate provides a thriving condition for fruits and vegetables to grow.
We were welcomed to Alan's Hostel by the infectiously cheery Happy. And yes, he insists that is his name. This perfectly quaint hostel was so warm and welcoming, and for such a bargain at just a couple of pounds per night we were extremely fortunate to get lovely beds, amazing wifi, clean facilities and a family style dinner and breakfast for free every day. The hostel alone meant I could have stayed longer in Da Lat, it was perfect!
That evening Happy took me and my friends out to get to know the town. After a quick tour he took us to the quirkiest little bar called 100 Roofs Cafe. This unassuming building nestled between various shops and bars seems at best a little bizarre at first sight. Somehow a mix of contemporary art, the Shire, and Wonderland this fascinating find just oozes character. Initially apprehensive, we soon immersed ourselves in the rabbit warren of corners and stairs and nooks to hide away. It was truly like being a kid in a playground again. We dared to climb through the smallest gaps, and as it was pretty dark but this point were startled by the occasional strange sculpture. We finally made it to the top though, and sat back to enjoy a milkshake with a view across the lit up skyline.
Da Lat has a wide variety of activities on offer, and certainly is a place for backpackers, couples and families travelling alike. The beautiful day we had to enjoy saw us hiring bicycles to roam the town and lakeside, and visit the famous Crazy House. This art work hotel hybrid is so extraordinary, we were captured by its charm and creativity straight away. Similar to 100 Roofs it's comprised of twists and turns, tunnels and passageways to keep all the visitors entertained for hours.
Once onto the roof you're treated to a wonderful view across the town, and can from there see the current expansion of the hotel, presumably to cater to popular demands. A quick peek inside the guests rooms shows things aren't just left at the front door; the rooms have all sorts of surprises and themes, with animal statues, mad mirror placements and snug little alcoves. This place is absolutely a treat for the eyes!
After tiring ourselves out from seeing all we could manage we caught up with what the others had been up to. One friend went on a motorbike tour to learn about various farms and aspects of the outer areas of Da Lat, whilst another went for the adventurous abseiling and waterfall canyoning expedition, which is a hugely popular activity here, as is a variety of other adventure sport. It would be great to get involved with something like that, but finances just wouldn't allow. The day before we had been lucky enough to enjoy a visit to Datanla Waterfall which is accessible by mini rollercoaster, and having seen a fair share of waterfalls, missing this one wouldn't hurt.
Datanla Waterfall, and getting there by roller coaster!
Off once more heading north up Vietnam, we made our way to the coastline to reach Nha Trang, where we stopped off for lunch and wished that we were staying there. It looked so pretty! Had we the time and the visa allowance to spend longer in Vietnam, I would have liked to stop off here, if only for the beautiful beaches! From there we headed to the tiny village of Bai Xep, where we spent a couple of days enjoying the perfect sunny weather before the expected storms of the evenings.
The peaceful waters and adorable fishing baskets made this sleepy spot a perfect rest break from being so active in the past few days. Travelling is so tough sometimes! Although this little peace of paradise was wonderful, it's not without its flaws. Rubbish is littered along the beach, a reminder that locals are not quite used to the concept of responsible and sustainable waste, a sore effect from the days of introducing the dreaded plastic to the world.
Speaking to other travellers, it would seem that places like Bai Xep are only recently attracting tourists. With only three or so hostels and hotels along the beach, the locals are used to dumping their rubbish bins in the ocean, because that's what they've always done. A big clean up was required to meet the idyllic views of the tourists however, but I certainly see this as a good thing, as it can only do good to clear pollution from the sea!

EXCLUSIVE: Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired world rights to Eco-Terrorist: The Battle for our Planet, Peter Jay Brown's follow-up to his 2010 feature documentary Confessions of an Eco-Terrorist. The deal, made at the Cannes film market, has the film targeting a September theatrical release in the U.S.
The pic (see an exclusive clip below) sees Brown, the longest-serving crew member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, following his captain Paul Watson to the front lines of the modern grassroots environmental movement. It captures all sides of the SSCS from its inception to the present, including when it was featured for seven seasons on Animal Planet's Whale Wars.
The new docu includes never-before-seen footage of society campaigns and their guerrilla tactics. Brown also produced with Elora West. Lon Haber and Lawrence Mortoff are executive producers.
"Breaking Glass Pictures is proud and honored to be associated with Eco-Terrorist, and to help get the message out about these brave men and women who are not afraid to risk their lives to save the planet", Breaking Glass Pictures CEO Rich Wolff said.
The rights deal was struck by Wolff and Haber on behalf of the film.
"We are beyond thrilled to be working with Rich and the amazing team at Breaking Glass Pictures to bring the highly anticipated follow-up to Confessions of an Eco-Terrorist to audiences around the globe," said Haber. "Eco-Terrorist: The Battle for our Planet does an impeccable job of bringing the message home, one to which the entire world can relate, enjoy and become highly inspired."

China is increasing the vaccination rate of the elderly
China will increase the vaccination rate of people over the age of 60 as the number of infected people rises rapidly. Poor vaccine coverage among the elderly has been used as a motive for the country's zero policy against covid. Several restrictions are eased at the same time.
Beijing's National Health Commission announces that it will "accelerate the vaccination rate for people over 80, and continue with the 60-79 age groups".
A special working group will be established for the purpose.
Fewer than 66 percent of Chinese over 80 are fully vaccinated, the commission stated at a press conference.
There is no mRNA vaccine approved for general use in the country yet.
During Tuesday, 38,421 new cases of infection were reported, which is slightly less than during the weekend's record numbers.
Barriers are removed
Some virus restrictions are also being eased in an attempt to quell recent growing protests against the country's zero-virus policy and strict covid restrictions.
Among other things, cordons will no longer be set up in neighborhoods in Beijing where new cases of infection are detected, the city's authorities announce.
Passages must be kept open for medical transportation, emergency and rescue situations, said Wang Daguang, in charge of epidemic control in the city.
In the industrial city of Guangzhou, all residents no longer need to undergo mass testing.
Quiet in big cities
Heavy police presence and cold weather have caused major Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai to fall silent on Tuesday, following widespread demonstrations.
During the weekend, the protests spread to several cities, after ten people died in a fire in the city of Ürümqi.
Many claim that the restrictions worsened the consequences of the apartment fire.
But several demonstrations planned for Monday and Tuesday fizzled, and journalists in major cities noted hundreds of police and vehicles on the streets.
There are reports that people's mobile phones are checked when they are stopped.
People who participated in demonstrations this weekend state that they received calls from the authorities, who demanded that they account for their actions.
It is unclear how many people have been arrested in connection with the protests.

Q: How to set HTTP status code in JSP error handlers I have a JSP page (in Tomcat) which uses JSP Tags to retrieve some data. But these JSP Tags can throw exceptions (For example when parameter values are invalid). Now I want to implement a nicer error handling for these situation. I failed to find a way to GLOBALLY specify an exception handler (error-page definitions in web.xml don't work for exceptions thrown in a JSP). The only way I found so far is specifiying an errorPage attribute in the page header of ALL JSP-files.
<% page errorPage="/WEB-INF/jsp/errors/500.jsp" %>

Quite annoying to do this for ALL JSPs, but acceptable. But not acceptable is the fact that the error page is always delivered with a HTTP status code of 200. I want a 500 instead. I tried using a servlet as errorPage instead of a JSP and tried to set response.setStatus(500) and also response.sendError(500) but both calls seems to be ignored. So this code prints "200" two times and I have no idea why:
System.out.println(response.getStatus());
response.setStatus(500);
System.out.println(response.getStatus());

So the question is: How can I set the HTTP status code in JSP error handlers?

A: You can configure your error pages in web.xml.
<error-page>
        <error-code>
            500
        </error-code>
        <location>
            /500.jsp
        </location>
    </error-page>

in your 500.jsp, set the directive as <%@ page isErrorPage="true" %>

A: Instead of setStatus(500), you'd better use sendError(500) - there are some differences.
The config in web.xml works fine with sendError, however, if you don't want the config in web.xml, error-page from page directive worked just for exceptions for me, not for HTTP error codes.

The ceiling may still look like a spaceship, but the walls of the Slow Rolling Home are starting to take shape. Each window has a 'hull' under it which was originally filled with a yucky pink fiberglass insulation, stuffed thickly and having accumulated twenty years of Florida humidity in its lifetime.
Denim insulation installed, we see a difference in the internal comfort of the bus, especially working on cold, grey days in the forest shade.
Thick 2 x 4 studs line the lower and upper boundaries of the window hulls, framing the structure walls of what will enclose our tiny house. Alhen worked with lengthy beams, cut to fit the length of the space and set the beams end-to-end the length of the bus.
Before these could be installed, even more rivets needed to be punched out. If you remember from our earlier musings, rivets are the bane of existence when needing to remove them. Rivets are watertight and one of the most useful material binding options ever. But, they're a real pain in the neck to remove!
Using the holes left behind by departed rivets, Alhen secured the studs to the metal framing and our walls were born.
The second week in November saw the delivery of two sizes of UltraTouch recycled denim insulation from CaraGreen - a company who took a chance on two DIYers and freighted us an enormous pallet's worth of insulation when no one else would. Our delivery man went as far as he could with his 45-foot truck but ultimately had to leave the insulation pallet at the entry to our cul-de-sac, about a quarter-mile and three (steep) hills from our house.
Okay, one of those hills is our driveway.
We slashed the outer saran wrapping of the insulation bundles and loaded the Subaru to the gills, taking two trips to get it back to the house safely. Where are you keeping all of this supplies? You might be wondering.
We keep 90% of our building materials and tools inside the bus at all times.
Creativity and organization is our friend, as our available space for indoor storage of large, cumbersome building materials are limited. We have the option to Tetris the garage, but it's proven easier to simply push items around the bus as we work on one section or corner at a time.
At this stage of construction, many projects are running concurrently as tools are available, as many hands are on deck, and as materials arrive from various orders. We've begun "closing" windows we intend to block from the interior. These enclosed windows will be framed, insulated, and seamlessly integrated with our interior walls. They're destined to become storage closets, create more intimate rooms, and serve as a means of making the place more "homey".
To do this, we removed a window that needed repair and measured its entire vacant space and components. Our calculations would later inform exact measurements for sheet metal cut to order. Some windows will be blocked completely whereas others will have only the bottom pane of glass replaced with metal, creating a better insulated and more moisture-resistant space.
Alhen sourced a local metal company where he could order metal sheets cut to precise dimensions, a decision that saved us loads of time and potential injury working with raw metal. He picked the pieces up in Knoxville and we began to process them.
Lesson learned: anything above "beginner" level assembly may require many additional steps before the piece is ready for use.
This is Amelia speaking: I'd never had the experience of treating an item in so many different ways before it could be used. It seemed that everything I'd worked with in the past came ready for use. Not the case with metal. It needed to be sanded and "scored" to accept primer, cleaned with acetone to remove the greasy layer left behind in processing, painted with multiple coats of spray primer on both sides, and pre-drilled to fit the holes in the window space before each could be installed.
The bolts we used to secure the metal are treated with a thread-locker. In some cases, we drilled the metal from both sides to ensure the bolts could join sheet metal and bus metal cleanly, then sealed with at least one, sometimes up to three layers of adhesive (applied by caulking gun) to ensure each piece is watertight.
Beyond the construction of the bus, it's important to keep our engine in tip-top shape.
In case you're curious, yes we intend to drive this thing around.
It's imperative we start the engine regularly and allow it to run in place of being able to drive it. The slow rolling home is perched rather precariously on a steep hill, relying only on its air brakes and some cinderblocks (and rocks) holding the wheels in place. The next time we drive the bus, it'll be to its next destination and our first big adventure!
We recently purchased chocks, which give us slightly more peace of mind.
Our recent startup was, needless to say, a little worrisome. Diesel engines can be more difficult to start as the temperatures drop. Glow plugs play into the equation but without the ability to consistently drive the bus around, the battery, the air compressor, and the fuel sitting in the tank are also subject to unforeseen variables. After a couple key turns, the slow rolling home chugged sluggishly to life.
We'll continue to learn more about diesel engines as we get to know our bus better, but to be safe, we invested in an anti-gel supplement for the fuel tank in the interim. Additionally, we're looking into protecting the sitting fuel from the development of algae and considering ways to fix the fuel gauge which has been broken since we purchased the bus in June.
As with all projects, there are lulls and there are spurts.
These past few weeks have seen a spurt and the uptick has been gloriously welcome. We can't wait to move in and are anxious to get to the finer parts of construction - mainly, the installation of interior living elements and the opportunity to take the bus to new places. Over the next couple weeks, we'll seal the remaining windows deemed for replacement, insulate the ceiling, and begin receiving ordered appliances coming from far and wide.

London CNN —
With the exception of the days he spent in intensive care, this past week has been Boris Johnson's worst since taking office.
Johnson has been embroiled in a scandal surrounding his chief adviser, Dominic Cummings, who it emerged had travelled over 260 miles with his wife and child after developing symptoms for Covid-19. He then drove to a nearby town, which local police say amounted to a minor breach of lockdown regulations, though no further action will be taken.
Despite public outrage, opinion polls showing a dip in support for the government and members of his own party demanding that Cummings be sacked, the Prime Minister has publicly backed his adviser several times, saying that he believes Cummings acted reasonably, lawfully and that the matter is now closed.
Critics say that Cummings' failure to adhere to official regulations and the spirit of government advice is a risk to public health. They say that citizens might legitimately wonder why there is one rule for Cummings and another for everyone else, and start breaching guidelines themselves.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson outlines UK reopening guidelines
Johnson's unwavering support for Cummings has left him politically exposed.
Numerous lawmakers and officials in Johnson's Conservative party believe that he was too slow to act once the story broke, and that Cummings appeared dismissive and arrogant when asked about the allegations. Many believe that had Johnson and Cummings expressed contrition, the story would have gone away. Others believe that sacking Cummings is the only way out of the crisis.
Instead, the Prime Minister doubled down so unequivocally that the scandal, the alleged hypocrisy, the impact it has on government and the damage it might do to public health is on his shoulders.
All of which raises the question: why is Cummings so valuable to Johnson?
If Johnson was the face of the campaign to leave the European Union, Cummings was its brain. Their relationship predates 2016, but it was those months in the Brexit bunker that cemented things.
Sources close to Johnson say the Prime Minister has privately admitted that he believes his Brexit gamble would not have come off, were it not for Cummings' organizational skills.
The Leave campaign's success catapulted Cummings into the spotlight. He was portrayed in the media as a Svengali figure who could read the public mood and intuitively understood how normal people thought. The highpoint of "Cummingsmania" saw Benedict Cumberbatch play him in a biopic, detailing how he bypassed political norms to win the most significant public vote in modern British history.
People who have worked with Cummings over the years say that the public perception is very different to the real man, who is a quiet workaholic, obsessed with data, evidence and policy who doesn't like people talking about him. However, Cummings' unorthodox mannerisms and off-the-cuff comments to journalists have added to the air of mystery surrounding a man very often described as a political genius.
Boris Johnson adviser Dominic Cummings may have breached lockdown rules, police say
This all goes some way to explaining the unique dynamic between Johnson and Cummings. "A special adviser usually works with borrowed authority. They are the minister's person, rather than a person in their own right," explains Salma Shah, a former government and Conservative special adviser. "Dom came to the job with a level of authority that few had before him. He isn't quite level-pegging with Boris, but he's probably the second most important person in government."
It's not just their close relationship that gives Cummings this unofficial second-in-command status. Every government has ambitions to bring in long-term, legacy defining change. What's different about the Johnson-Cummings project is the sheer breadth of that ambition.
"This administration wants to unsettle and dislodge establishment institutions that it believes have failed the public for decades," says Shah. "Dom is the symbolic figurehead of a group of people who have all wanted this for years. They are tight-knit and very loyal to him."
Reports vary on exactly how much influence Cummings has over his boss. Several government ministers said to CNN that Johnson allowed Cummings an unprecedented level of control over the network of advisers serving across government, meaning many key roles were filled by Cummings loyalists who worked for and reported to him. Were Cummings to go, Conservative sources have said to CNN that there is a real question mark over whether these advisers would carry on serving the government.
Cummings had previously been the subject of scandal, most notably after having a sacked adviser marched from Downing Street by armed police and hiring someone who had expressed support for eugenics. The fact Johnson's backed him three times in less than a year is some indication of how much he values Cummings.

Sir David King on Cummings scandal: Confusion the worst possible outcome
Even ministers who privately find Cummings frustrating accept that keeping him in post might be the best thing. "We are where we are because Boris and Dom won the Brexit referendum and won the election. Anyone who seriously wants to stay in power and doesn't want that team at the top is making a brave call," said one government minister who was not authorized to speak to the media.
However, there is a fear that Johnson has spent a lot of political capital on a man whose behaviour historically lands the government in trouble. "Knowing Dom, he will take from this that he is basically invincible," says a senior Conservative figure who has known Cummings for decades. "But the political will of the cabinet might not be there to help him next time he has a scrape."
Which explains why so many think that removing Cummings now avoids problems further down the line. "He is someone I respect very much, but I'm afraid he should not have put the government in this position," says Lauren McEvatt, a former government special adviser. "I now see no way of moving the story on, and preventing his actions from having a negative impact on adherence to public health advisories, but for him to step aside, at least temporarily."
Concerns regarding adherence to public health guidance are serious. John Ashton, a former regional director of public health in England, says that the scandal has undermined public trust in the government, "which is essential if there is to be effective cooperation during this next, fragile phase of the epidemic."
For the time being, it seems that Johnson thinks sticking with Cummings is his best bet and that the story will eventually go away. However, it has cut through more than Cummings' previous scandals and is damaging Johnson's government at a critical moment.
"In politics you are always going to be hurt. It's where you wear the scar that matters," says Shah. However, by backing his adviser so emphatically, it might be the case that Johnson's scar is now even worse than Cummings'. And if this story rumbles, the Prime Minister might yet have to lose the support of the man who has so often helped heal his wounds.

El conector PS/2 o puerto PS/2 toma su nombre de la serie de computadoras IBM Personal System/2 que es creada por IBM en 1987, y empleada para conectar teclados y ratones. Muchos de los adelantos presentados fueron inmediatamente adoptados por el mercado del PC, siendo este conector uno de los primeros.

En ambos casos es serial (bidireccional en el caso del teclado), y controlada por microcontroladores situados en la placa madre. No han sido diseñados para ser intercambiados en caliente, y el hecho de que al hacerlo no suela ocurrir nada es más debido a que los microcontroladores modernos son mucho más resistentes a cortocircuitos en sus líneas de entrada/salida.

Aunque idéntico eléctricamente al conector de teclado AT DIN 5 (con un sencillo adaptador puede usarse uno en otro), por su pequeño tamaño permite que en computadoras cuyo formato era AT, donde solo entraba el conector de teclado, en computadoras con formato ATX lo haga el teclado y ratón, liberando además el puerto RS-232 usado entonces mayoritariamente para los ratones, y que presentaba el inconveniente de compartir interrupciones con otro puerto serial (lo que imposibilitaba el conectar un ratón al COM1 y un módem al COM3, pues cada vez que se movía el ratón cortaba al módem la llamada)

A su vez, las interfaces de teclado y ratón PS/2, aunque eléctricamente similares, se diferencian en que en la interfaz de teclado se requiere en ambos lados un colector abierto para permitir la comunicación bidireccional. Las computadoras normales de sobremesa no son capaces de identificar al teclado y ratón si se intercambian las posiciones.

En cambio, en una computadora portátil o un equipo de tamaño reducido era muy frecuente ver un solo conector PS/2 que agrupaba en los conectores sobrantes ambas conexiones (ver diagrama) y que mediante un cable especial las divide en los conectores normales.

Por su parte el ratón PS/2 es muy diferente eléctricamente del serie, pero puede usarse mediante adaptadores en un puerto serie.

En los equipos de marca (Dell, Compaq, HP y otros) su implementación es rápida, mientras que en los clónicos 386, 486 y Pentium, al usar cajas tipo AT, si aparecen es como conectores en uno de los slots. La aparición del estándar ATX da un vuelco al tema. Al ser idénticos ambos se producen numerosas confusiones y códigos de colores e iconos variados (que suelen generar más confusión entre usuarios de diferentes marcas), hasta que Microsoft publica las especificaciones PC 99, que definen un color estándar violeta para el conector de teclado y un color verde para el de ratón, tanto en los conectores de placa madre como en los cables de cada periférico.

Este tipo de conexiones se han utilizado en máquinas no-PC como la DEC AlphaStation o los Acorn RiscPC / Archimedes.

En la actualidad, han sido reemplazados por los dispositivos USB Plug and Play en su mayoría, haciéndolos difíciles de encontrar, ya que ofrecen mayor velocidad de conexión, ofrecer múltiples posibilidades de conexión de más de un periférico de forma compatible, "en caliente" (Plug & PLay) y no importando el sistema operativo, bien sea Windows, MacOS o Linux (Esto es, multiplataforma).

Japanese retailers are leading the way in retail service. There are clear pointers that American and European retailers could take on board to avoid slipping back in the Global Retail market.
This service offer is pivotal in today's increasingly virtual world. In the UK we are seeing that the real winners are those retailers that provide a seamless multichannel retail offer, combining the best of both the physical and the virtual worlds. The Japanese stores I have seen here clearly recognise the importance of the human factor, from faceless checkout to a spirit of warmth, hospitality and gratitude. Put simply, if you make the decision to shop in physical stores then you deserve this as an absolute minimum.
For me, Uniqlo is getting it right when it comes to service. For example in their flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York, the time shoppers wait at their tills is strictly monitored, whilst shop assistants hand back credit cards Japanese style, using both hands and making full eye contact. They also offer basics in more tailored fits than its rivals and many more permutations (polo shirts come in 80 colours). Unsurprisingly Uniqlo outsold Gap last year and is closing in on H&M and Zara.
Also expanding in the US is Muji, one of Japan's leading household and consumer goods retailers. It aims to increase its nine retail stores in the US to around 75 by 2016. Furthermore, two Japanese convenience store giants have also announced real estate expansion plans in the US. There is Famima, an upmarket foodstore, owned by Tokyo's Family Mart that already have operations in California and also Lawson, which has opened in Hawaii.
In addition, much of the US press is reporting that many American urbanites will be attracted from IKEA by the quaint Aki-Home. Aki-Home has just opened two stores on the West Coast as a springboard to nationwide expansion over the next few years.
As the Japanese retailers continue to wow consumers in the major retail destinations, American retailers are starting to take notice, for example some fashion operators are beginning to experiment with 'quiet zones' whilst a few convenience stores are considering the notion of intentionally employing friendly shop assistants!

Веселин Весо Маслеша (Бања Лука , 20. април 1906 — Тјентиште, код Фоче, 14. јун 1943), био је књижевник, новинар, револуционар, учесник Народноослободилачке борбе и народни херој Југославије.

Биографија
Детињство и своју рану младост провео је у Бањалуци где је завршио и гимназију.

Још у шестом разреду гимназије, ступио је у револуционарни омладински покрет, а истовремено се укључио и у акције радничког покрета Бањалуке. Прве основе марксистичког образовања стекао је у ђачко-литерарном друштву "Младост".

Године 1925. године, Маслеша одлази на студије — најпре у Загреб, где је уписао Правни факултет, да би убрзо прешао у Франкфуркт, где је студирао економију, а потом у Париз, где је студирао политичку економију и социологију.

Због револуционарног рада међу југословенским студентима и радницима — исељеницима у Француској, био је изложен прогонима, и онемогућено му је даље настављање студија. Француске власти су га протерале у Југославију, а југословенске из Београда у Бањалуку.

У Бањалуци је наставио активност у радничком покрету. Потом одлази у Осијек, где се запошљава као уредник и коректор, у редакцији "Хрватски лист". Али је убрзо ухапшен и поново протеран у Бањалуку. Године 1938. запошљава се у Београду, као скупштински новинарски репортер и коментатор у "Београдским новостима". Исте године примљен је у чланство Комунистичке партије Југославије.

Маслеша се брзо укључује у друштвени и политички живот Београда, учествујући, поред илегалног партијског рада, и у легалним манифестацијама тадашње напредне интелигенције.

Иступао је с натписима у многим листовима и часописима. У децембру 1928. године заједно с Отокаром Кершованијем покреће часопис "Нова литература". Али после проглашења шестојануарске диктатуре, 1929. године, ухапшен је и после седам месеци проведених у затвору, протеран у Бањалуку.

У Бањалуци, у којој је остао нешто дуже од годину дана, имао је врло разноврсну политичку делатност: држао је илегалне партијске курсеве, семинаре и предавања; писао је, али без потписа, у бањалучком листу "Нова Штампа"; бавио се преводилачким радом и наставио ванредне студије права у Загребу.

Године 1931. враћа се у Београд и запошљава се као публицист у Редакцији часописа "Народно благостање". Посебно је био ангажован у остваривању политике Народног фронта и стварању легалне јединствене радничке партије, односно Странке радног народа, као секретар њеног Иницијативног одбора.

Поред партијско-политичке активности, Маслеша се интензивно бавио научно-истраживачким, публицистичким и преводилачким радом. Бавећи се темама из домена економских, политичких и књижевних збивања у земљи и иностранству, Веселин Маслеша је, као публициста, објављивао неколико студија, а најпознатије су "Млада Босна" и "Светозар Марковић".

Од 1927. до 1940. године Маслеша је десет пута хапшен, проводећи, за то време, у затворима укупно више од две и по године. После бомбардовања Београда, априла 1941. године, прешао је у Црну Гору и тамо учествовао у припремама устанка. Организовао је пропагандни рад Покрајинског комитета КПЈ за Црну Гору и Главног штаба за Црну Гору и Боку. Покренуо је и уређивао листове "Слобода" и "Народна борба".

У време похода пролетерских бригада у Босанску крајину, јуна и августа 1942. године, био је члан Политодела Четврте пролетерске црногорске бригаде. У другој половини 1942. године, у селу Дринићу, заједно с Мошом Пијаде и другим сарадницима, обнавља лист "Борба", орган КПЈ, у којој објављује многе текстове, сарађује и у другим листовима: "Пролетеру", "Војно-политичком прегледу", "Народном ослобођењу" и др.

На Првом заседању АВНОЈ-а у Бихаћу, новембра 1942. године, Маслеша је одржао главни реферат — Народноослободилачка борба и стварање Антифашистичког вијећа, у којем је изнео историјат антифашистичке борбе у свим крајевима Југославије од 1936. до 1942. године. Тада је изабран у Извршни одбор АВНОЈ-а.

Током четврте и пете непријатељске офанзиве био је с групом дивизија НОВЈ које су водиле борбе на Неретви и Сутјесци. Погинуо је (утопио се) 14. јуна 1943. године када су ноћу прелазили Сутјеску да би се пробили из немачког обруча.

Одлуком Президијума Народне скупштине Федеративне Народне Републике Југославије, 20. децембра 1951. године, проглашен је за народног хероја.

The Ambassador in Great Britain (Davis) to the Secretary of State
[Telegram]
LONDON, December 20, 1919, 1 p. m.
[Received 2 p. m.]
3563. Your 6257, December 10, 2 p. m.1 I learn informally that upon the Foreign Office's referring the military convention proposal to the departments concerned, the latter have delayed replying upon assumption that with conclusion of peace the matter would lapse. The Foreign Office has conveyed to them its decision to reply to my representations no later than the 28th instant, but this answer will probably be unfavorable to the proposed convention.
Confidential. Foreign Office believes that it would be advantageous to conclude such a convention and does not favor attitude of the military departments. I respectfully request therefore that I be furnished with further information regarding the views of the American Government in this matter in order that my renewed representations may be effective.
The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain
(Davis)
WASHINGTON, December 26, 1919, 5 p. m.
6310. Your 3563, December 20, 1 p. m.
Inform Foreign Office that arrangement in question is considered necessary by this Government so long as any American forces are maintained in British territory, and that it is believed that it should be concluded without further delay. Impress upon Foreign Office importance attached by this Government to conclusion of the arrangement and report promptly developments.
LONDON, January 6, 1920, noon.
[Received 11.09 a. m.]
23. Your 6310, December 26, 5 p. m. Foreign Office requests further information as to the reasons which make it desirable, in the

opinion of the American Government, to proceed to the elaboration of a military agreement of the sort proposed. British Government is disposed to think that the conclusion of the convention at this date would not be of any great utility and in order that the matter may be reexamined the Foreign Office would be glad to receive further particulars as to the views of the American Government in the matter. DAVIS
The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Davis)
WASHINGTON, January 30, 1920, 5 p. m.
88. Your 23, January 6, noon.
War and Navy Departments state that inasmuch as American forces have now been withdrawn from British territory, there is no longer any necessity for consummation of such an arrangement. Communicate foregoing to Foreign Office, and state that this Government acquiesces in the abandonment of the project.
