Some random ideas for teams UNO could schedule in 2017-2018
June 28, 2017 June 28, 2017 acroth86 College Basketball Austin Peay, Creighton Bluejays, Daniel Norl, Drake Bulldogs, Florida Gulf Coast, Houston Cougars, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Omaha Mavericks, Oregon Ducks, Portland Pilots, Terry Porter, Valparaiso Crusaders
It's that time of year that the only sport we have to watch is mid-season MLB. It's terrible. It's the worst time of year. This time of year is the opposite of the holidays. I went outside yesterday. I don't hate the MLB, but you can tell that American society cannot handle it when ESPN doesn't know what to do with itself so they just experiment with drone racing and gluttony contests.
Don't worry, college sports are around the corner. The schedule for the Mavericks' basketball team should be coming out soon, and we know they will be playing at Rice, but who else could get scheduled while the athletic department scrambles to make money and probably forces the basketball team to play 10 non-conference road games.
They're in Omaha. It's not that far from UNO. They only have like 6,000 students or anything, so they probably are not all that good.
It's a short drive to Des Moines, and Drake is…well…they have a new coach!
New Omaha Maverick Evan Tricker is from Florida, and a trip close to home and a chance to play in front of friends and family could have been part of the pitch to get him to move to the Midwest. I cannot think of many reasons as to why someone would want to relocate from Florida to Nebraska. It's the fried grilled cheese sandwiches and bread pockets of beef and cheese, isn't it?
A home-and-home series with Dunk City, you would be into that.
Maybe, the Mavericks could stop over and play the University of Houston while on their trip to play Rice. I've got a friend that lives in Houston. Let's all make the trip. We can all stay in his one bedroom apartment. He claims to have moved into the "Yuppie neighborhood." Let's fill his 500 square foot apartment like a clown car.
Michigan (the state)
The Mavericks have traveled in the past to the state of Michigan to face Michigan State, Eastern Michigan, and Oakland. Let's go after just about anyone else in that state. Why? Because the Mavericks have access to buses and a ton of recycling units all around campus. If you're thinking we load up a bus with all the cans we can find and attempt the Michigan Bottle Deposit Scam – you're right.
They're in the same state as Omaha. Tim Miles may not be on the hot seat, but there is a candle sitting on the floor under his seat ready to be lit…so I doubt the Huskers are willing to schedule the Mavericks in 2017.
This could actually just be a terrible game if it happened in 2017. How? No one knows.
Apparently Dana Altman doesn't like playing his friends, and it never appeared as if Altman and Derrin Hansen hated each other, so maybe he could just see it as helping UNO out by handing them a check for coming to Eugene. The Ducks also have former UNO coach Kevin McKenna and former UNO player Tony Stubblefield on the coaching staff.
Perhaps while in Oregon, the Mavericks could fly in or out of Portland and play the Portland Pilots so they can get an autograph from Terry Porter before he loses his job.
Someone in the state of Tennessee
There are a handful of universities in state of Tennessee, and I am sure senior Daniel Norl would love a trip home. Vanderbilt could hand the Mavericks some money, and while in the Volunteer State the Mavericks could also visit Belmont, Lipscomb, Tennessee State, or even Tennessee. Austin Peay even has Domas Budrys who played high school basketball in Lincoln after transferring from Lithuania.
First of all, why is their nickname "Valpo" and not "Valpa" which sounds like a terrible wrap you would buy at some trendy health restaurant?
Second of all, I seriously never knew that they were the Crusaders. I've never once heard anyone say "Valpo Crusaders," it is always just "Valpo."
Third of all, the Crus…Valpo got the invite over the Mavericks and a few other candidates to join the Missouri Valley. Part of the invitation should be facing every team on the possible list for a little drama.
Some teams and trips that could make up for an entertaining basketball schedule in 2015-2016
April 13, 2015 April 13, 2015 acroth86 College Basketball Belmont Bruins, Brian Fish, Dana Altman, Des Moines, Doc Sadler, Drake Bulldogs, Kevin McKenna, Martez Harrison, Montana State Bobcats, Nashville, Ogden, Oregon, Oregon Ducks, Portland, Portland Pilots, Portland State Vikings, Portlandia, Southern Illinois, Southern Miss, The Summit League, UMKC Kangaroos, Utah, Vanderbilt Commadores, Virginia Cavaliers, Weber State Wildcats
The Mavs will finally be fully eligible for the post season next year…duh. From what I have heard, the 2015-2016 schedule for the UNO Mavericks men's basketball team includes trips to Minnesota, Missouri, Wyoming, and "a trip to Vegas." I am not sure how complete the schedule is at this point, but from what I have heard creating a schedule can be pretty difficult. It was pretty difficult in EA Sports' March Madness 2007. That was the worst video game I have ever played. Well that is dead anyway, but here are some trips and games that I thought could be potentially good match ups and/or fun trips for the Mavericks and their fans should they choose to go. A few of these are suggested home-and-home series, and the others are just UNO going there once.
Virginia – 7 (Final RPI Ranking) or Virginia Tech – 221
The first UNO game I could watch on ESPN3 was UNO @ Michigan State. I remember the commentators saying Derrin Hansen was trying to sell recruits at the time on the opportunity to go play against the bigger teams in their home area. With Jake White and Marcus Tyus getting a run at Minnesota, Randy Reed getting the chance to go up against Missouri, and Tim Smallwood getting conference foe Oral Roberts, that leaves out Devin Patterson for the senior non-Omaha guys.
I would think you would be more comfortable with the Mavs going up against Virginia Tech just based on the RPI rankings, but if you are one of the people that want them to play the best to become the best, then obviously Virginia would be the more appropriate choice for that route. Tech had a pretty similar roster this season as far as experience with 2 seniors, 4 juniors, 1 sophomore, and 5 freshman but they were a substantially larger team. I never watched a Virginia Tech game this season, because I mean, why would I have? Based on the just really lazy investigating, they appear to be a pretty slow team which could draw to the Mavs' advantage.
Drake – 259
I thought I heard that Drake had a return game to Omaha from the Mavs playing them in Des Moines in 2013, but I have yet to see it or hear anyone mention it ever since. I may have made it up in my own mind now that I think about it. If the Mavs had to go to Drake again, the Bulldogs are a little over two hours away, so obviously not a bad trip for Mav fans. Des Moines also has a lot of fun stuff to do like…turn around and drive back to Omaha.
As a former conference foe to the Creighton Bluejays, the JaySkers may draw some interest in this game and show up for a game in Omaha. The Bulldogs have been going after some of the same recruits as UNO, so that could add some animosity and create a new I-80 rivalry with the Bulldogs. Both programs could live off of the "screw Creighton" policy.
Apparently Des Moines recreated Rainbow Road from Super Mario Kart
Drake did not have the greatest season in 2014-2015, but it is not like they had the greatest of expectations. The Bullsdogs did have a bright spot with freshman Reed Timmer leading the team in scoring at 11.5 ppg, so the future does not look awful. In addition to Timmer, Drake will have two Big 10 players that will be eligible for the 2015-2016 season, Kale Abrahamson from Northwestern and Graham Woodward from Penn State.
Nashville trip
So most of this trip is based on wife's alumni status to Belmont, and it is not like anyone would ever actually attempt to schedule all 6 of these schools, but my wife has stated that if someone needed 2 or 3 quick road games that they should check out the Nashville area. I have never been to Nashville, but as she described it, Vanderbilt, Belmont, and Lipscomb are all right on the same block.
Nashville is an 11 hour drive through Kansas City and St. Louis, so it is not like it would be the most boring drive in the world for the Mavs and/or their fans. Mav fans that like country music would have the time of lives in Nashville as it is the center of country music with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. My wife says to not go out and do karaoke unless you are a serious singer. The karaoke scene is much different there as it is composed of people trying to make it in the industry and get noticed for a record deal, not people getting really drunk and singing songs in an Eric Cartman voice. I would not know, I think karaoke is dumb either way.
Vanderbilt – 88
The only SEC school that appears to actually care about academics of the student athletes finished the season making it to the 3rd round of the NIT. Vanderbilt was made up of mostly underclassmen, so you have to think they have a bright future as they are not really a program that is built around one and done stars. They would be kind of the centerpiece of the Nashville trip, but with a SEC team already on the schedule, this could be a tough sell to the UNO program. As a fan if you went to the game or watched it on television, you could just find yourself upset that the team benches are located on the baseline. It is one of those things that bugs me and I cannot figure out what it is about it that is so upsetting. It is like not liking someone, but you cannot exactly put your finger on it as to what makes you want to punch them in the face every time you see them.
Belmont – 100
Rick Byrd has been with Belmont since they were in the NAIA so he knows what is like to take a program into division one and how long it can take to become a successful program at the D1 level. Hopefully because of this, he can have some sympathy for Derrin Hansen and the UNO Mavericks.
Byrd has become one of the most respected coaches in all of college basketball. Byrd is on the right if you want to be a smart ass about it.
The two schools have played a home-and-home series in men's soccer, so the two athletic programs have had some sort of communication. Playing Belmont would be no easy task, their size and athleticism is pretty similar to UNO, but they rarely make mistakes and are one of the best at hitting the three. Last year the Bruins ranked 4th in the nation with 10 threes made per game, and as you probably know, the Mavericks were not the best at perimeter defense. Belmont has a winning record of 101-36 since UNO made the transition in 2011-2012. The team should be returning their top three scorers as well. Hey, did you also know that, per Rivals, South Dakota State's Reed Tellinghuisen's final three choices were SDSU, UNO and Belmont?
Belmont also hosts the Country Music Awards, so there is that. My wife also claims you can just randomly see celebrities just about anywhere. She once saw Tim McGraw in Walmart and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban at a tiny little diner. The university was also the shooting location for a number of Hannah Montana episodes, might I suggest a Socker Boppers tournament at random places around campus to get your rage issues out of the way when you think of Miley Cyrus?
Lipscomb – 275
I do not know much about Lipscomb other than that they are one of Belmont's biggest rivals and that they are on the same block as Belmont, and hey they are pretty close to UNO in RPI. I bet a good ole Summit League versus Atlantic Sun battle really gives you that special feeling that makes you feel like your heart is going to explode out of excitement.
Tennessee Tech – 288
An hour and a half from Nashville, but per Verbal Commits, their basketball program has been going at the same level of recruits as UNO. They made offers to Zach Pirog and Ben Kozitske. Also pretty close to UNO in RPI.
Austin Peay – 316
A hour drive from Nashville, and hey what the hell, while we are there I guess. Austin Peay is one of those programs that you have seen the name on the ESPN bottom line score center and it always sticks out, but you literally do not know anything about them. The basketball program also has Lincoln's Parkview Christian School's Domas Budrys (by way of Lithuania) on the roster and they also gave former UNO player Jalen Bradley an offer this year, so where do they get off?
Middle Tennessee State -152
I am not going to pretend that I know anything about Middle Tennessee State, I seriously had no idea that they were in Conference USA until right now. Mufreesboro is also a hour drive from Nashville.
Weber State – 260
Okay, I know I am biased since I worked at Weber State for a year, but the schools actually have some pretty decent similarities that could make for a fun match up. Both schools are at that "lower major" status and battling for name recognition with the bigger names in their own state with UNO dealing with Nebraska and Creighton and Weber State dealing with Utah and BYU. Like UNO, Weber State is also a commuter campus and they have had difficulties trying to find that community support that UNO was struggling with for quite some time. Weber State men's basketball though is pretty similar to Creighton in the Dana Altman era in regards to that it is difficult for them to get teams to come to them. They are a decent basketball program, and they really want to do the home-and-home series with the bigger programs, but the bigger programs end up laughing at them. They really do not want to do the Go Play a Big 10 Team and Get Crushed games. Weber State did play Oral Roberts in Ogden this year and won by one point, so it is possible that they will have a game in Tulsa in 2015-2016, not sure how many Summit League teams the Wildcats want to play.
Weber State was picked to win the Big Sky conference, based on basically nothing, but they ended up tying for 7th (out of 12) in the conference with Idaho and a 13-17 overall record and finished with an RPI of 260. The Wildcats are coached by Iowa native Randy Rahe who has tried to get into the Nebraska area of recruiting in the recent years. Last year he had former Omaha Skutt center James Hajek as a senior, and he has also had some players from Nebraska junior colleges join his program in the past. Rahe was also rumored for the Drake job when it was last available. He has taken the Wildcats to two NCAA tournaments.
Even though the Wildcats did under perform this last season, they have some great pieces returning that could help prepare the Mavericks for the Summit League. They will be returning 2nd Team All Big Sky forward Joel Bolomboy, who will be a senior, that averaged a double double with 13 ppg and 10 rpg as well as 6'2″ guard Jeremy Senglin, who will be a junior, that averaged 16 ppg, 3 rpg, and 3+ apg. Aside from that, the only player that they are graduating is Hajek.
If Mav fans were willing to make the trip, Ogden and northern Utah have a lot to offer. Anywhere you are in northern Utah, you are a guaranteed 15-20 minute drive away from a beautiful hike. Get some beautiful pictures at Antelope Island 20 minutes away from Ogden, see the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City, and you can also go take a look at all the sights and gorgeous landscape that hosted the 2002 Olympics. Oh, there is also an In N Out Burger in between the Salt Lake City airport and Ogden… The trip is about a 13 1/2 hour drive from Omaha, but can be risky with the state of Wyoming basically giving up when it comes to taking care of I-80 during the winter. The flights are usually not too bad though, you will typically have to connect through Denver and end up on two separate 90 minute flights. There is a large Salt Lake City group that loves the Huskers that hosts watch parties for Husker games, but if you were to go you would actually find a decent number of UNO alumni in the group
You can snap pictures like this all around Northern Utah.
If you are a beer drinker though and want to make the trip to Utah, you will more than likely not have a great time, especially if you are not into outdoors stuff. The Salt Lake City Husker bar is really fun though, they have a party room dedicated to the Huskers (and the Utes). I also have some Weber State friends that I have been talking a little smack to telling them that UNO is superior in basketball (and another number of sports), so there may be a few Ogdenians that will get a little too into the game and causing a ruckass. Weber State did have a decent club hockey team while I was there, and Ogden has the Mustangs, a Junior A team in the WSHL, so there is always the potential to catch some hockey while there.
Omaha and Weber State have already played in softball (UNO won) and women's soccer (WSU won) so again, there has been some form of communication between the two athletic departments. Also, while I was working at Weber State the volleyball team played at a tournament in Lincoln against Nebraska and Creighton and I offered to give their (now former) head coach information on restaurants and things to go do and see…he was actually surprisingly a really big jerk about the entire thing.
Just kidding…
Oregon trip
Oregon -27
Okay, so the schedule is already pretty tough as it is with two power 5 schools on the schedule already, and there may not be room for one more, but you have to admit you have some interest with the Mavs going up against former UNO coach Kevin McKenna. Derrin Hansen could definitely soften up Dana Altman and McKenna by bringing them some Runzas and Dinker's. That may be the only way to sell it to Altman and McKenna. When Altman played against Creighton in the CBI Championship, it was definitely awkward already with how recent it was since Altman had just left Creighton, but also Altman claimed that he did not like playing against his friends. I am not sure if him and Hansen have a relationship, but I am sure they have ran into each other, and it could be difficult for Altman having to face a jersey with the word Omaha on it.
Portland State -166
Portland – 221
Okay there is not much that I actually know about Portland and Portland State, but to get to Eugene, Oregon to play the Ducks, it would probably be best to fly through Portland. I know that Portland State is a commuter campus just like UNO, they are in the Big Sky, which the Mavericks and other Summit League teams like to go up against, and I know that the city of Portland is awesome.
Showing the O has already been done in Portland.
The city has literally everything you could ever ask for. Great scenic views, awesome hikes within driving distance, the Columbia Gorge is just about one of the most beautiful things that you will ever see, tons of breweries and unique restaurants, mountains to look at and drive to, the ocean is about an hour and a half away, and the state also has no sales tax. There is also Voodoo Doughnut, their line gets really long, I was there on a Sunday night at 10 pm and the line was longer than a Christopher Nolan film. Portland is also a huge hipster community, possibly the biggest I have ever seen, so it may be difficult for Rylan Murry to ever come back to Omaha after a trip out there. You can also walk around and mock everything that you have seen in "Portlandia". Who else wants to have an adult hide and go seek league? Per the UNO Alumni Association, there are 400+ living in the state of Oregon that are UNO alumni, but Portland is right on the border of Washington state which has 700+ UNO alumni so there is a chance of getting a decent turnout to see the Mavs in the area.
For reals, Portland has everything.
Portland State has been trying to recruit a little from the Nebraska area, but I really do not know why, none of their coaches have any ties to the Midwest, and their basketball program has yet to land anyone from the area. The Vikings will lose seven seniors from their 2014-2015 roster that opened up the season by winning at USC, which really is not all that big of a deal. They also will not have much height on the roster with only only player 6'7″ or taller, as of right now anyway. The Vikings do have a Arizona State guard sitting out in the 2014-2015 season, Calaen Robinson, who the team is expecting to play a huge role in the 2015-2016 season.
The Portland Pilots beat Drake and Murray State this season, two teams that the Mavs lost to in 2013-2014. They also lost a narrow game at UNLV by two points. Okay, this seems a little more interesting now. The Pilots, like the city of Portland, is a really diverse team. Their roster this season consisted of guys from Canada, Ukraine, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, and obviously the Pacific Northwest. If sitting around in a giant hipster city, drinking craft beer, eating delicious sushi, and making fun of tall people's funny last names is fun to you, then maybe you are wishing this trip would have happened this season. The Pilots also has a will be sophomore named Jason Todd, so if you are a comic book nerd and understand what that means, you are pretty much looking for airplane tickets to Portland right now.
I mean, look at how entertaining sports can be in Portland.
Montana State -323
Speaking of Dana Altman, Montana State is coached by his former assistant Brian Fish who is trying to grow some respect for his program. Fish was rumored for the Western Illinois job a while back, and he has been recruiting in Omaha's backyard. Again, Montana State is a Big Sky team. I have never been to the state of Montana, so…that is all I have to say about that. The average high temperature of Bozeman in November is 42 degrees and in December it is 33 degrees, so it is not like it is completely awful.
In 2014-2015, the Bobcats had…ahh hell I am not even going to try.
Bran Fish went 7-23 in his first season at Montana State.
Southern Miss – 283
Hey Doc Sadler, remember when you said there was no way you would schedule UNO? Southern Miss was one of the worst scoring and worst rebounding teams in division one this past season, that actually sounds really familiar to Nebraska fans. I am still pretty baffled that they beat North Dakota State, who they did schedule a home-and-home series with. Doc's team had no player taller than 6'7″ and only graduated one player from this season, oh and their non conference schedule only had two power five schools on it, so yes that sounds exactly like a Doc Sadler team.
I am just saying, based on everything that I can perceive about Sadler, if the Mavs called him and pretended to be the University of New Orleans I am sure they could convince Doc to schedule "the Privateers" and Doc's staff would just sign the contract without looking at it actually saying University of Nebraska at Omaha instead of University of New Orleans. Then Doc would actually look at his schedule at some point and drop his signature phrase of "I am not a smart man."
I think UNO fans and people in Nebraska would like the match up. Doc was never really an enemy to anyone around here. He was never Santa Claus but he was never Martin Short as Jack Frost. People around here genuinely liked Doc as a person and would welcome back to Omaha for a night or two.
You know you want everything that comes with this.
The transitioning schools
As a school that is just finishing up the transitioning period, we know how painful of a four year process it can be, so maybe we can help out the following programs. Also as a Mav fan, I am keen to go play and beat these teams as four of the five had better RPI rankings than the Mavs last season.
Abilene Christian – 326
10-21 record in 2014-2015, 3 wins were against non-D1 opponents
scored 27 points in their final game of the season, ouch
Grand Canyon – 279
They have Thunder Dan as their head coach, that is enough for me
Incarnate Word – 173
They beat Nebraska last year, which may have led to the destruction of the Huskers' confidence all season
Massachusetts Lowell – 262
Finished 12-17 overall including 1 win over a non-D1 opponent
As of right now, their 2015-2016 roster will be composed of one senior and the rest of the team will be freshmen and sophomores
Ranked 346th out of 351 in the nation in rebounding as a team
Northern Kentucky -263
Will be coached by John Brannen, former Alabama assistant
They got to play in their conference tournament. Why? What the shit?
Southern Illinois – 274
Another team coming to terms with the "screw Creighton" policy. I am not sure if Creighton and Southern Illinois ever actually had a bitter rivalry program to program or if it was really just Creighton not liking SIU taking their attention away for a few years. I remember Southern Illinois fans being incredibly furious whenever Creighton played in Carbondale. I searched and searched online to find the "I h8 Cr8n" shirts that their fans made but had no luck.
Southern Illinois has also had and won some recruiting battles with the Mavs, so this just irritates me more than it should. With the transition over, this should be less and less of a problem so that is refreshing. Also I feel like Creighton fans would come out to the game in disguise just to yell at Barry Hinson. Seriously, Hinson seems like he was molded out of puddy by Rita Repulsa to create the ultimate douche to destroy the Power Rangers, but probably more likely to destroy Southern Illinois. Granted, it is not like he took over the best program there in Carbondale.
UMKC – 293
Is anyone else incredibly bored with this match up? I do love a trip to Kansas City, but the Kangaroos have more players than they do fans, so it feels like you are going back and watching an old Division 2 game. The game I attended in Kansas City in 2013 there were more Mavs fan than Kangaroo fans. Most of the UMKC fans there were parents of the youth cheerleaders that put on a routine at halftime and then they all left at halftime.
The loss to UMKC this last season should have left an disgusting taste in your mouth. It was the first loss of the season that the whole team was available for, and a team that most thought the Mavs should not have lost to. The Mavs had 26 turnovers in this game. 26! So yes, I would love to see the Mavs get the chance again to not have 26 turnovers. Every time the Mavs play UMKC in anything I get more wrapped up in "why the hell are they in the WAC" instead of the actual game itself. They have to fly to every single one of their conference games, so you know they are looking to make up for it in the non conference schedule. Oh we can drive there? Just send them a contract and hope they sign it.
They will be returning Martez Harrison who was an All American Honorable Mention player. He averaged 17.5 ppg and 4 apg, and he had 25 points and 6 assists against the Mavs in the one game they played this season. A guard like Harrison could prepare the Mav back court for what they are going to have to go up against in the Summit League next season. The Summit League is going to be filled with a lot of great guards this upcoming season.
I am not expecting Mav fans to make the trips for the in season games, but how refreshing was it as a Mav fan to see how many students and fans made it out to the Frozen Four? With things beginning to "matter" more, fans are going to be willing to make the fun trips.

Dostoevsky and Raskolnikov's "New Word"
by Deborah A. Martinsen
As we all read and reread, blog, twitterize, and discuss Crime and Punishment in this 150th anniversary of its publication year, I have been struck yet again by the novel's focus on ethics, its tight structure, and how the two work together. To illustrate this observation, I will cite three passages – from the novel's beginning, middle, and end.
Passage one (Pt 1): On the novel's first page, Raskolnikov wonders "what do people fear most? A new step, a new word of their own." The narrator thus signals that Raskolnikov prizes originality, especially theory. The surrounding paragraph makes it clear that he is anxious about the gap between theory and action. (Attentive readers will note that in the course of the first page, the narrator moves from an outsider omniscient stance, to partial insider status using free indirect discourse – paraphrasing Raskolnikov's thoughts, to full insider status using direct discourse to quote Raskolnikov's thoughts verbatim in this passage.)
One of Ernst Neizvestnyi's illustrations for Crime and Punishment
Passage two (Part 3, Ch 5): As Raskolnikov discusses his article on crime with Porfiry and Razumikhin, he claims that only extraordinary people have the gift or talent to utter "a new word." Five pages later, Porfiry asks him: "when you were composing that little article of yours, well, it's simply inconceivable – heh, heh! – that you didn't also think of yourself as being at least a teeny bit 'extraordinary' as well, as also having a new word to utter, in your understanding of those terms…Wouldn't you say, sir?" Porfiry thus voices our suspicion, putting another motive for murder on the table. In between these two fragments of the conversation, Razumikhin identifies Raskolnikov's new word, his contribution to a current debate on natural law: "what is truly original about it all – and truly belongs to you alone, to my horror – is that, in the end, you permit bloodshed as a matter of conscience, and, if you'll excuse me, you're actually quite fanatical about it… This, then, must be the main idea of your article. But the permission to shed blood as a matter of conscience, well…it's more terrifying, to my mind, than any official permission, any legal permission…" Raskolnikov notes that the idea is "only hinted at," but now we know that a new word signifies a theory, so we have another theoretical justification for the crime.
Dostoevsky undercuts Raskolnikov's preoccupation with originality (the "new word") in a number of ways. First, Raskolnikov himself is a literary cliché: a young man from the provinces who comes to the big city and lives off his family. Second, in Part 1 (Ch 6), readers see that the "strange idea" in Raskolnikov's head (killing the old pawnbroker and using her money for social good) is actually a commonplace discussed in taverns! Finally, as many of Dostoevsky's readers would have known, much of Raskolnikov's theory about extraordinary people comes right out of Louis Napoleon's History of Julius Caesar, an 1865 literary sensation that was a veiled apology for himself and his uncle.
Passage 3 (Epilogue, Pt 2): As Raskolnikov mechanically takes the Gospels out from under his pillow, he realizes that he had asked Sonya to bring it to him, but he had not even opened it yet: "Nor did he open it now, but a thought flashed in him: 'Can her convictions not be my convictions now? Her feelings, her aspirations, at least…'"
In his inimitable fashion, Dostoevsky has moved the conversation from abstract theory – "a new word" – to incarnated Gospel truth ("In the beginning was the Word," John 1.1). Moreover, Dostoevsky debunks the utilitarian calculus with which he has been polemicizing throughout the novel. In the Dostoevskian universe, calculation is the worst sin. In Crime and Punishment, Luzhin is the greatest villain. Luzhin enthusiastically embraces utilitarianism (Pt 2, Ch 5): "If hitherto, for example, I have been told to 'love my neighbor' and I have done so, then what was the result? . . . The result was that I ripped my sheepskin in two, shared it with my neighbor and we both ended up half-naked . . . But science says: love yourself before loving anyone else, for everything in this world is founded on self-interest. Love yourself and your affairs will take care of themselves, and your coat will remain in one piece. . . . it is precisely by profiting myself and no one else that I thereby profit everyone, as it were, and enable my neighbor to receive something more than a ripped coat" (a nineteenth-century articulation of trickle-down economics and the prosperity gospel). A few pages later, Raskolnikov claims that Luzhin's "theory in action" would justify murder: "Take what you were preaching just now to its conclusions, and one could stab people…." In short, Dostoevsky creates a powerful parallel between his sympathetic axe-murderer and the novel's most despicable character. Just as Raskolnikov exposes the weaknesses of Luzhin's theory by taking it to its logical conclusion, Dostoevsky exposes the weaknesses of Raskolnikov's theory. He thus demonstrates that theories have consequences. It matters which "word" we follow.

Chart 1: The KLCI Megatrend ~ What lies ahead in2-007?
8 Jan 2007: My Say: What lies ahead for the KLCI?
What a start to 2007! The Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) finished strongly at 1,117.1 points on Bursa Malaysia on the first trading day of the year last Wednesday. That's four aces — watch out Le Chiffre and you too, Mr Bond. And speaking of Casino Royale, we could start this new year with a bang and present this article with the theme, "Into (in2)-007".
I will be brief in this commentary and much of it will be said in the chart. In fact, news coverage over the long weekend and last Wednesday was pretty rosy and smells like one.
"Happy New Year to all fellow Malaysians, everywhere!
"With a good roti canai/nasi lemak and teh tarik and glancing through the newspapers… I can't help but say that the local press has spiced up with nice storylines this morning! Is it too good to be true? KLCI at 1,200 is the common theme, 1,330 the big resistance, and/but why not pass that barrier? I'll be doing my own study tonite to meet tomorrow's dateline for a story in The Edge's first issue of the year!
"Well the journalists and expert panelists have had their say… what about you guys/gals out there? Surely we have our own perceptions — don't fret spill it out… who knows perhaps some of our prognoses could very well be on target far better than what the experts are thinking. Let end-2007 be the judge — come on share your thoughts.
"Remember that the people-in-the-streets can't be all wrong, and the experts were not always right in their prognoses. Perhaps the Securities Commission should come up with some kind of award to recognise the unsung heros… some may turn out to be more heroic than the experts.
"Mark my words! All d best!"
My message is clear, I think. All I wish for the investing public is for them to be given a chance to make their views known and in a way, challenge the experts out there. Yes, it's kind of pitting the man in the street (the majority of retail players, I presume) with the investment advisories issued by the fund managers, analysts and so on. Let us all see who will ultimately make the most accurate forecast for the KLCI come end-2007. Are you all game for that? Unfortunately, not many stockbroking firms care to initiate that kind of competition and award the "unlicensed experts" — the last one I came across was from Avenue Securities (I only managed to qualify for the grand final round — you see even I am not that good).
Let me share with with you what one of them has forecast: "1st 1,331, then 1,557 and end with 2,012 [e wave]." Too good to be true? You see, in forecasting, one is not wrong until proved otherwise — you may laugh at his/her prognosis today but if it really comes close to those numbers, then who will have the last laugh? I believe many small players out there have their own views — why not share them?
Having said all that, here's my quick analysis of the KLCI's possible direction this year. "A picture paints a thousand words", said the Greeks. But what I have here is not a portrait of Helen of Troy, definitely not one that will launch a thousand ships. Well, at least the KLCI has already penetrated the thousand mark quite strongly, and is still going strong into 2007.
The analysis is a bit complicated (with so many lines, circles, squares and so on) but I have tried my best to make it as simple as possible for our dear readers to digest, and as a bonus, introduce some of the studies/indicators (Pitchfork analysis, Elliot Wave analysis, Gann analysis and so on) known to most professional chartists/technical analysts. So here goes.
Firstly, how far can the KLCI climb before the year's end? Can it breach the 1,200 mark, or go even further up to the 1,330 level to beat the all-time high registered during the 1993/94 superbull run? My friend Fred Tam has been very bullish in the last couple of months. The current spate of bullishness in the waves began on May 2, 2001, with the "epicentre" at point "C" soon after the last KLCI megatrend completed its trail from 1977 to 2001 in a major 1-2-3-4-5-A-B-C wave pattern.
Refering to the chart, here are some of my conclusions for the moment. The KLCI's intermediate term trend (by Elliot Wave analysis) has just traced a beautiful 1-2-3 impulsive wave sequence — with wave 3 very much still unsettled. It has still got stamina to last the distance until mid-2007 (pinpointed on June 25 on the chart).
So, for the next two quarters of 2007, it's going to be generally bullish with intermittent minor corrections along the way. With that premise in mind, I am looking at these numbers: 1,287.15 by mid-2007 (June 25); and 1,2811.11 by August (Aug 24).
If and only if this current bullish phase absorbs the spirit (and schizophrenia) of the last superbull run, then expect the KLCI to scale towards the 4.25X Fibonacci level by yearend, that is, flirting with levels above 1,750 (at 1,752.44). Beyond that, 2,058.73 and 2,493.69 are levels marked from the Fibonacci studies — all of which may materialise as we enter 2011 (Jan 24), that is, after the Ninth Malaysia Plan is complete. That's the only proviso I am prepared to give at the moment. Don't get me wrong, charting plays with market sentiment and fire (el fuego!).
If the mood prevails in that direction, then don't go against it, or your back may break! Lastly, observe that the trend pattern that is shaping up looks pretty similar to the period during the last superbull run.

Yet another tomb of the historical site was dismantled and moved to another place.
Hasankeyf, which has a history going back 12 thousand years, will soon disappeared, flooded by the Ilisu Dam, one of the most controversial project in the area.
The important historical site has undergone heavy destruction, while some other historical artifacts are moved to new places.
The tomb in Imam Abdullah Zaviyesi site was moved to the new Arkeopark: 37 hydraulic jacks and an SPMT vehicle with 256 wheels made the work.
The operation of transfer was supervised by police and gendarmery. Murat Dağdeviren, Deputy Director General of the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ), gave the following details about the operation of transfer: "We will carry 5 more works in Hasankeyf, and we will continue the operations here."
He added that: "There is a Girls' Mosque, there is Süleyman Han Mosque , There is Koç Mosque, there is Al-Rızık Mosque, there is a middle gate, and here we will continue to carry on important architectural pieces, some of which will be preserved in place. We are working to protect the fillings we have made in Dicle Valley and at the same time to protect the caves, it continues in the same way. "
The Minaret and the outbuilding part of the Imam Abdullah Zaviyesi will be moved in the days ahead.

Trace metal concentrations in deep sea fish from the North Atlantic
M Cronin, Ian M Davies, Alice Newton, J M Pirie, G Topping, Sarah Swan
Specimens of six species of continental slope fish (17 orange roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus, 84 roundnose grenadier Coryphenoides rupestris, 37 rough-head grenadier Macrourus berglax, 27 Mediterranean grenadier Coryphenoides [Chalinura] mediterranea, 25 spear-snouted grenadier Coelorhyncus labiatus and five armed grenadier Coryphenoides [Nematonurus] armatus), were collected between 1987 and 1995, and their muscle tissue subsequently analysed for mercury, lead, cadmium, copper and zinc. The early samples were collected in the Rockall Trough area by the research vessel Challenger. The 1995 samples were obtained from commercial landings at Lochinver fishing port by fishing vessels which had been operating on the Hebridean Continental Slope, in ICES areas 43E0, 44E0, 45E0, 46E1, 47E3 and 48E3. Sub-samples of the muscle tissue of individual fish whose ages ranged from 3 to > 70 y, were analysed for the above trace metals using atomic absorption spectrophotometry, following nitric acid digestion. The mean mercury concentrations in all species were below 0.5 mg/kg, ranging from a mean value of 0.06 mg/kg in roundnose grenadier to 0.42 mg/kg in orange roughy. However, individuals from three of the six species were found to have concentrations greater than 0.5 mg/kg but less than 1.0 mg/kg (orange roughy up to 0.86 mg/kg, roughhead grenadier 0.89 mg/kg and armed grenadier 0.65 mg/kg). In all species, concentrations of mercury were found to increase with both age and length. Mean concentrations in shallow water commercial fish species are normally less than 0.1 mg/kg, although some long-lived fish predators can contain I mg/kg or more. The ranges of mean concentrations of zinc (2.2-6.7 mg/kg), copper (0.01-0.47 mg/kg) and cadmium (0.002-0.02 mg/kg) for all species were similar to those observed in commercially exploited shallow water marine fish landed at Scottish ports, although some of the lead concentrations (means 0.004-0.72 mg/kg) were rather higher. In Mediterranean grenadier, the concentrations of copper, zinc, cadmium and lead decreased with increasing length/age of fish. Although this was also observed in orange roughy, the relationships were not as significant as those in the Mediterranean grenadier.

Another change made to curfew at parks in Oadby and Wigston
Marshalls will still be patrolling the area
Parks in Oadby and Wigston borough no longer have a curfew.
The curfew on parks in the borough of Oadby and Wigston has now been removed.
Residents were told in September they would not be able to access the council-owned parks between 5pm and 7am.
The move caused anger and frustration from many who cherished the green spaces that they had been using as a place to get away from the homes that they have been confined to since March.
Marshals were also assigned to the parks to prevent people from using them.
Oadby and Wigston Borough Council (OWBC) then changed reduced the curfew from 5pm until 5am.
Now, the curfew has been lifted completely as of November 1, despite the latest rate of coronavirus infections sitting at 338.5 cases per 100,000 people in the area, which more than double the rate in September when the curfew was introduced.
In a statement, the council said: "We have reviewed the closure of the parks and can now confirm that the closing time restrictions will be lifted.
"However, our Covid-19 Marshals will still be patrolling the parks to ensure social distancing is adhered to."
A spokeswoman for OWBC said that the announcement was independent of Boris Johnson's announcement of the second lockdown.
She added the decision was not made as a result of public pressure and said they would always keep the park curfew under review.

CLIMATE 2020 SUPPORTER
Reversing atmospheric infection
The Coronavirus crisis has taught us a number of lessons on how we should approach climate change
By Mark Lewis, Global Head of Sustainability Research, BNP Paribas Asset Management
The worst pandemic for 100 years has shown that our globalised world is much more fragile than we like to think. The speed with which the disease has spread and the disruption it has caused to health systems, supply chains and financial markets are unprecedented. That it is currently wreaking the greatest havoc in the richest and most medically advanced countries in the world only underlines our vulnerability to new threats all the more.
But human beings have evolved to learn fast in the face of life-threatening dangers and the policies now being adopted globally around social distancing, while alien to our species, match the urgency of the moment. The parallels with climate change are self-evident, and three insights stand out with particular clarity.
First, the heightened frequency and severity of extreme weather events over the last two decades has revealed the fragility of our climate system as the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere has accelerated. The parts-per-million (ppm) count of GHGs in the atmosphere is the equivalent of the pandemic's infection rate, and with this hitting an all-time high of 415ppm in 2019 at the monitoring station in Mauna Loa1 we urgently need the equivalent of social distancing in climate policy to halt and reverse it.
Such an equivalent policy already exists and as the collapse in UK coal emissions over the last four years2 has shown it is a proven palliative: carbon pricing. Ramping the cost of burning fossil fuels globally would reduce the GHG ppm count in the atmosphere just as social distancing is reducing the infection rate of Coronavirus. The limited amount of space left in the atmosphere for storing more GHGs before we burn through the Paris Agreement's carbon budget is the ultimate scarce resource and it needs to be priced accordingly.
Of course, in the same way that social distancing is not enough on its own to eradicate the Coronavirus, so carbon pricing on its own will not stop climate change: it can slow and then reverse the rate of atmospheric infection but if we are to stave off the climate tipping point then just as governments have implemented confinement as a reinforcement to distancing in fighting the pandemic, so too will we need continuing support for renewables and greatly strengthened incentives for energy storage.
Beyond the mitigation of fragility, we will then need policies on climate adaptation to improve the world's resilience to the warming that is already baked in. Most obviously this means improved infrastructure: enhanced flood defences to deal with rising water levels, better cooling systems for hotter summers, improved irrigation for drought-prone areas, and so on.
Policymakers have met the economic crash caused by the pandemic with massive monetary and fiscal stimulus, and the pay-off from an imaginative long-term financing package for green infrastructure – both for mitigation and adaptation – would be a liveable future for succeeding generations and sustainable and well-paid employment for millions of workers around the world today.
The second insight from the virus is that it has revealed our inter-connectedness and the importance of global institutions such as the World Health Organization. No country, no people, and even no age group has immunity. The way in which the world is coming together to contain, treat and defeat the disease is exactly what we need to see at the next UN climate summit in Glasgow in 2021 if we are to remain within the temperature boundary prescribed by the Paris Agreement. For as with the virus, if we crash through this boundary there will be varying degrees of impact across communities but no immunity anywhere.
And the third key insight from the pandemic is that people are willing to make simple but effective changes to their everyday behaviour when given a clear rationale for doing so. The comparison here is between the handwashing rituals we have quickly become used to as a roadblock to the spread of Coronavirus and the changes we can make to our daily consumption habits as a brake on runaway climate change: saving energy in the home, reducing meat in our diet, buying more locally-sourced produce, flying less, and so forth. Direct and urgent explanation by government to citizens works in a crisis.
Politicians have been willing to shut down the economy in order to save lives. The short-term economic cost will be massive, but everyone agrees it is a price worth paying. We do not need to shut the economy down to tackle climate change, but we do need to act decisively now. Scientists think that climate change will be responsible for 250,000 unnecessary deaths3 every year within a decade, and at that point there will be no equivalent of social distancing that can save us. And when that point comes, how will we explain that we were willing to go all in to prevent deaths from a virus, but we prevaricated about taking far more modest measures to tackle the climate challenge and save future generations?
In the final analysis, just as we need a vaccine for the Coronavirus in order to prevent future mass infections, so too do we need an inoculation against the increase of GHG concentration levels in the atmosphere to prevent irreversible climate change. That inoculation is a net-zero global energy system by 2050. We all need to start working towards that goal now with the same urgency and dedication as the world's healthcare professionals and leading medical researchers are so selflessly doing on the frontlines of care and in the search for a vaccine.

Web designers are among the creative people on the surface of the Earth. Creative ideas can emerge in mind anytime and anywhere. Presently, there are such mobile apps available for professional web design that help designers to continue even without their usual setup. Some of the popular ones are described hereunder.
With its Ideas, Adobe has stepped into the genre of simple, lightweight and user-friendly applications too. Adobe Ideas is a smart digital sketchbook that is used by website designers to capture their ideas immediately. Since the ideas can be jotted down by hand, photograph or scan is not required. Adobe is enough assurance of the credibility of its Ideas. The application has already gained popularity among designers.
The flexibility of common storage with privacy is the factor of popularity of Dropbox. It is a kind of cloud storage where different users can store and access according to authorisation settings. The phone version Dropbox does not download the data but they can be marked as favourites to be read offline. It is among the most popular mobile apps for web designers at present.
Its name describes its function.It can find out the text font that has to be entered from the files on the mobile or from captured photograph.Reasonably, the application is not perfectly correct always. However, it is never far either. Since it is utmost simple and does not consume time either, it is one of the favourite mobile apps for web designers. Besides, the scope of diminishing its limitations is wide for WhatTheFont.
It is an automated collator of all the digitals articles and matter on iOS.News and information are collected and combined by Flipboard and presented in a manner that lets users exclude the unwanted matter and skim through the rest.It is good for designers as its presentation allows them view it with creative perspective.
Although MS Office Suite is, by far, the most efficient application for word processing, such intricate application is not always required. Thus, applications like Byword fill the gap for simple, light yet efficient word editors for authors, bloggers, etc.
This browser for mobile phones provides webpage accessibility like that on desktops. To prevent slowdown of the connection, it moves the webpage to its server to compress it before displaying it on the mobile screen.It is efficient for testing websites too.
The listed applications are not the only mobile apps for web designers that are efficient or available. They are popular but there are more numerous more of such applications that might be useful in web designing.

Alt.Latino Playlist: Meet Us In Our World
By Felix Contreras & Stefanie Fernández • Feb 5, 2020
Puerto Rican artist Draco Rosa previews his upcoming album with "Quiero Vivir."
Originally published on March 3, 2020 2:05 pm
Listen to this playlist on Spotify or Apple Music.
This week's collection of new music features two performers with distinct artistic views of the world that somehow complement each other in unexpected ways. In that same vein, the re-imagined "Havana" makes our hips move in different ways than the Camila Cabello original, and that's OK.
Lido Pimienta, "Eso Que Tu Haces"
Since December's "No Pude," Lido Pimienta's first release since 2016's La Papessa, it's become clear that her next album Miss Colombia (out April 17) will engage in large part with love, or the fluctuating arrangements of affection, rage, shame and opportunism we sometimes call love. The video for her second single, "Eso Que Tu Haces," was filmed in Palenque, a historic Colombian town recognized as the oldest surviving town established by freed enslaved Africans. In honor of that history, the video celebrates the dance, beauty and resilience of Afro-Colombian communities.
"Eso que tú haces / no es amor," Pimienta sings in a soaring chorus. The power imbalances that inform any love, romantic, national, aesthetic or otherwise, seep through every word. Pimienta's effort is a taxonomy of love and oppression disguised as love, and it demands a more just world. — Stefanie Fernández
Malena Zavala, "I'm Leaving Home"
Argentine-born and English-raised singer Malena Zavala's second album La Yarará (also out April 17!) is about belonging, or feeling like you don't. Unlike October's "En La Noche," a dream-cumbia in Spanish, "I'm Leaving Home" is a melancholic ballad in English that frames, as Zavala says in a press release, "a person being about where they've been, not where they were born." The song's sinking electric guitars against languid acoustic strumming and congas comprise a mournful, brave exercise in preserving home once you've left it. — Stefanie Fernández
Eladio Carrión, J Balvin & Ñengo Flow, "Mi Funeral"
Eladio Carrión's Sauce Boyz is the kind of rare debut that is both ambitious and incredibly consistent. The 25-year-old Puerto Rican swimmer-turned-Vine-maker-turned-trapero dexterously showcases the hitmaker-y and weird edges of Latin trap on songs with Zion and Lennox, Wisin and Yandel, Arcangel, Jhay Cortez, and so many more on an MVP list that defies the usual dime-a-dozen album collabs. On "Mi Funeral," he's joined by Ñengo Flow and newly-minted Super Bowl album J Balvin, and I'd say it's their funeral. — Stefanie Fernández
Orquesta Failde, "Havana"
Ethiel Failde, who comes from a storied musical family in Cuba, has produced a number of albums on the island that are throwbacks to the straight-ahead dance music of the Buena Vista orbit. Notably, his last record featured a single with Cuban grand dame Omara Portuondo.
It makes sense that Orquesta Failde re-imagines the Camila Cabello hit "Havana" as a full-on, Cuban big-band burner. The track features vocalist Yerlanis Junco along with trumpeter Julito Padrón, invigorating the song with deep conga-driven grooves that often propel the best in big band dance music. — Felix Contreras
Draco Rosa, "Quiero Vivir"
Draco Rosa is perhaps one of the most enigmatic musicians working in Spanish language music these days, and once you delve into his artistic vision, you see there is a precise mission behind his method. After a life lived out almost completely on the stage (he was a member of Menudo with Ricky Martin way back in the day) and having twice stared down cancer (seven years cancer free now), it make sense that his deep thinking would produce music that requires us to meet him in his world. "Quiero Vivir" is a preview of an upcoming album, coming in hot on the heels of his recent win at the Latin Grammys for Best Rock Album for 2018's Monte Sagrado.
The atmospheric touches to the music and video certainly prime us for his next musical chapter and I, for one, am standing by for the rest. — Felix Contreras

The US Department of State misleads the world when commenting on the situation with the upcoming departure of Russian diplomats
The Department of State misleads the world and the American public when commenting on the situation with the upcoming departure of Russian diplomats, said Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov.
Earlier, the Ambassador said that the authorities revoke the accreditation of the wives of the diplomatic mission staff as well as stop issuing visas to the diplomats' children. Antonov also added that 27 employees of the diplomatic mission will be forced to leave the country on January 30, 2022, according to the Department's motion.
200 Russian Ambassadors to go. https://t.co/HZP2gmwpb3
— Moth (@mothnm) November 29, 2021
Department of State spokeswoman Jalina Porter explained this decision as a desire for "greater parity" with Moscow. She said the timing was initially set by the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"The US Department of State is lying again. The American side is trying to mislead the local and world public, deliberately distorting facts. We are credited with something that has nothing to do with reality. The situation is exactly the opposite," Antonov said in a statement.
Antonov recalled 2020, when the US Foreign Ministry set a three-year limit on the duration of business trips of employees of the diplomatic mission and consulates General of the Russian Federation in New York and Houston
"Regarding other diplomatic missions, there is a five-year period of stay in the US. The statement that the departure of 55 Russian diplomats cannot be regarded as expulsion does not stand up to criticism either. It was clearly indicated to us that in case of refusal to comply with this requirement, the Russians would be deprived of immunity and other diplomatic privileges. So, the talk is actually about expulsion," the ambassador said.

Staying mentally healthy is just as important as staying physically healthy. In fact, your psychological and physical state both depend heavily on one another. In this article, we're going to talk about ways in which you could lead a healthy lifestyle that benefits your mental state.
Maintain a balanced and nutritious eating pattern.
Healthy eating is a big topic on this site, but it can be hard to maintain a balanced and nutritious eating pattern even after you've read a lot about the subject. The key is not to become overwhelmed by the task. A good way to eat is to fill your meals with plenty of natural food groups. We live in a society that sells all sorts of overly-processed food, so whole foods are some of the most organic and nutritious options we have available; we're talking about fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. If you want to maintain a balanced and nutritious eating pattern then fill your meals with food in those groups.
Obviously, even those who love their jobs don't enjoy working all the time. There is no perfect job in that sense; everybody needs a break from time to time. However, you should, at the very least, enjoy your work in the sense that it drives you forward. You should want to embrace the challenge of your job. If you've become apathetic and disinterested in your job then that probably isn't the case. When it comes to your mental state, having a satisfying job will help to lower your stress levels and keep your body healthy too.
Maybe you need a social job that gets you out of an office cubicle, for instance. You might want to start selling goods on a department floor rather than doing so in a dull work environment. Maybe you're a caring individual; the healthcare industry could be perfect for you. You might even want to look into courses at midwife school. That would give you the necessary qualifications for such a career. Enjoying your work is a huge part of leading a healthy lifestyle that benefits your mental state.
Find the right kind of physical activity for you.
Everybody knows that exercise benefits your health, but you need to find the right kind of physical activity for you. If you hate going to the gym then that's not a form of exercise that's going to benefit your mental state. Sticking to a workout routine requires mental determination. Obviously, exercise releases endorphins in the brain which will help with that, but you do need to enjoy the activity on some level to find your motivation. It's about listening to your body as well as your mind.
For example, running excessively might start to wear out your joints and become painful as you get older. You might find that doing yoga and lifting weights is kinder on your body whilst still helping you to lose weight and stay mentally healthy. Exercising well can boost your metabolism and help you to maintain a healthy mental state, but you might have to switch up your routine from time to time to meet the needs of your mind and your body. Don't just do the kind of physical activity you think you should be doing; it has to be right for you.

Q: OpenGL onCreate fragment view in Android I've created OpenGLRenderer.java class and placed some code in it, shows no errors. Then I placed this code for creating a view in RoomFragment.java fragment:
public class RoomFragment extends Fragment {

/** Called when the fragment is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    GLSurfaceView view = new GLSurfaceView(this);
    view.setRenderer(new OpenGLRenderer());
    setContentView(this);
}}

But I'm getting

The constructor GLSurfaceView(RoomFragment) is undefined

and

The method setContentView(RoomFragment) is undefined for the type RoomFragment

errors. Aren't those methods implemented in header? I'm guessing the reason for that is that this is not an activity, but a fragment which is active only on button click of a previous fragment (which is active on a main activity menu selection).
How do I go about this? How do I create GLSurfaceView in fragments layer?

A: The GLSurfaceView needs to be related to an Activity by giving it a Context. Fragment does not extend from Activity and from the looks of it, you're trying to create a GLSurfaceView right from inside it.
Also, setContentView must be called from an Activity, essentially what you're saying is 'I want this Activity to be displayed in the way **View is telling it to'. Therefore you have to call the method from the Activity itself.
Try either putting the GLSurfaceView inside the Activity from where you call the Fragment, OR use the Fragment's getActivity() method to retrieve the Activity it's bound to.
The second solution would end up looking like this:
public class RoomFragment extends Fragment {

/** Called when the fragment is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    GLSurfaceView view = new GLSurfaceView(this.getActivity());
    view.setRenderer(new OpenGLRenderer());
    this.getActivity().setContentView(view);
}}

I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, let me know if it works!

Explorers, Kings and the Sinulog
Dec 13 , 2018 Travels
In 1521, explorer Ferdinand Magellan landed in the southern Philippines, the first European to set foot on the archipelago. He gifted an image of "Christ as Child-King" to local chieftain Rajah Humabon, who welcomed Magellan and his weary crew. It would be the last land for Magellan to discover for Spain, he died a month later after stumbling into an inter-island conflict, but his short time in the Philippines brought the first baptisms, masses and converts to Christianity.
That history is what brought Fr. General Arturo Sosa to Cebu on the 4th day of his Philippine visitation. Met by representatives of Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu, the eminent Jesuit school in the southern Philippines, Fr. General was escorted to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, said to house the same image that Magellan gifted to Humabon. Fr. Sosa was greeted by Augustinian prior Fr. Pacifico C. Nohara, Jr who led Fr. General and his party in quiet prayer at the chapel of Santo Niño.
More than a social call, Fr. Sosa came to the Basilica, built and rebuilt by the Augustinians continuously over the past three centuries, to learn about the nationwide celebration to take place in 2021 to mark 500 years of Christianity on the Islands, and to honor the Augustinian part of history of the Society of Jesus in the Philippines. It was an Augustinian Saint, Pedro de Agurto, the first bishop of Cebu, who invited the Jesuits to the island in 1595.
Respects paid to the Augustinians and St. Pedro de Agurto, Fr. Sosa travelled to the Shrine of the Sacred Heart to meet with a group of Chinese-Filipino Catholics who are part of the parish established in 1952 by Jesuits who fled China during the Communist revolution. Focusing on the centrality of the Sacred Heart as a potent symbol of the faith, Fr. Sosa commended their commitment to Ignatian spirituality and the mission, with the celebration culminating in the blessing of a time capsule to be buried on the site of the newly renovated House of Retreats of St. Peter Faber.
With evening falling, Fr. Sosa joined the Sacred Heart School community for a mass presided over by senior Jesuit, Fr. Ernesto Javier, before joining the assembled Jesuits and lay colleagues for a Filipino-style celebration. Amidst traditional food, boisterous laughter and singing by students, Fr. General found himself in the middle of the sinulog – a ritual dance that simulates moving through a strong current in honor of the Santo Niño. There may be no better allegory for the history of Christianity and the Jesuits in the Philippines than the sinulog: two steps forward, one step back. Everybody moving, laughing, smiling, trying to be part of the dance. Fr. General participated by holding high the Santo Niño as the dance undulated through the crowd.
