Q: summarize original data based on expand grid categories I would like to summarize a table using dplyr.
Here is how I would like to proceed:

*

*I have a data.frame like this:

*I would like to count the number of "gps_clutch" for each year, region, site, week and expand this all the possible weeks recorded for each region. I explain: in the region "sud" I sampled week 18, 20, 22, 24 and in the region "nor" week 19, 21, 23, 25. I would like to convert implicit missing values by "0" but only for the weeks (nested in regions) that have been sampled.  I do not want to expand in a way that I would get a row for week 19 in region "sud" because this region was not sampled that specific week.

this code works well to expand the grid as I would like:
dat %>%
  group_by(region) %>%
  expand(year,site, species,week)

the following code works too, to get the count values but does not expand the grid as I wish (I only get the list of weeks for which I did observe something for each year, not the total number of weeks sampled across both years). Which mean that if in "sud" "2017" I only have records for weeks 20 and 22, the grid will not get expanded to week 18 and 24 :
field_subsetnord %>%
  group_by(year,region,site,species,week) %>%
  summarise(count_clutch=length(gps_clutch)) %>%
  complete(week,nesting(year,sites,species), fill = list(count_clutch = 0))

this is the table I would like to get at the end:
 year    region week  site           species    count

and so on for 2018...

any suggestions to mix these two codes would be appreciated :)

A: You are so close with your two approaches.  Essentially they just need to be combined to get what you're after. :)
Group by region and then complete() the dataset first, then regroup by all variables and summarise().  Since the gps_clutch will now have missing values in it, you can sum up the non-missing values (via !is.na) in the summarise() statement to count the clutches.
dat %>%
    group_by(region) %>%
    complete(year, site, species, week) %>%
    group_by(year, region, site, species, week) %>%
    summarise(count_clutch = sum( !is.na(gps_clutch) ) )

# A tibble: 64 x 6
# Groups:   year, region, site, species [16]
    year region  site species  week count_clutch

Serena, Vandeweghe advance to Bank of West final
Serena Williams acknowledges the crowd after her win over Sorana Cirstea of Romania during the semifinals.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- Serena Williams' final tuneup for the London Olympics will be an All-American affair.
Williams overpowered Romania's Sorana Cirstea 6-1, 6-2 in the Bank of the West Classic on Saturday night to set up the first All-American WTA final on home soil in eight years against lucky loser Coco Vandeweghe.
``It's cool,'' Williams said. ``Everybody's always asking about American players. Now we have a great player like Coco who's doing well and she took her second chance to the ultimate degree. I'm really happy for her. I'm glad she's American. I'm so glad she's American. If she goes all the way and wins (Sunday), I would be really, really happy for her.''
Exactly a week after winning her fifth Wimbledon title, Williams cruised to another victory in 60 minutes. The quick work came despite Williams converting only 38 percent of her first serves, calling it ``outrageous.''
Williams hardly sweated and returned to the court immediately after the match to practice her serve.
She will go for her second straight title at Stanford on Sunday against Vandeweghe, who reached her first WTA Tour final with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 victory against Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer. The 20-year-old American failed to make it out of qualifying and only got into the main draw when Bojana Jovanovski withdrew with an injury.
The last ``lucky loser'' to advance to a WTA final was eventual runner-up Melinda Czink in 2005 at Canberra, Australia.
``It's a dream come true for me being in the finals of a WTA event,'' Vandeweghe said. ``Hopefully this is a good omen for the rest of the summer for me.''
The last American final at home on the WTA Tour came in 2004, when Lindsay Davenport topped Williams in Los Angeles.
Nobody seems to be able to slow Serena these days.
Still jet-lagged from traveling more than 5,000 miles and eight time zones from the All England Club, Williams delivered her most impressive performance of the week.
The 14-time Grand Slam champion sported a bright yellow shirt and black skirt that looked like one giant blur on the California hard court. She slammed serves and flicked forehands on every line, never needing to move much, turning the semifinal into an Olympic practice session.
Williams was hardly at her dominating best, but she didn't need to be. Cirstea double-faulted on break point to give Williams a 3-1 lead in the first set, sailed a forehand wide in her only break opportunity - in the next game, no less - and became the latest flustered and frustrated Williams opponent.
What Williams won't be happy about is the way she served. After 102 aces carried her to victory on Wimbledon's grass, she had more double faults (four) than aces (three). Then again, her opponent had twice as many double faults (eight) as aces (four) in the calm and crisp conditions.
``I really wasn't happy,'' Williams said. ``I did what was necessary to win. I did what I knew I needed to do, and I think that's important.''
Serving could be the deciding factor in the finals.
Vandeweghe broke Wickmayer in the opening game and pounded 12 total aces with a serve that topped 120 mph. She also won 31 of 36 points on her first serve.
Wickmayer double-faulted to hand Vandeweghe a service break to go ahead 3-1 in the final set. Vandeweghe saved four break points in the next game and watched Wickmayer double-fault again on match point.
Vandeweghe dropped her racket in disbelief, ran to the sideline and jumped into the arms of her mother, former Olympic swimmer Tauna Vandeweghe. The 20-year-old from Southern California had never even made a WTA semifinal until she knocked off Urszula Radwanska of Poland 6-4, 6-4 a day earlier.
Williams beat Vandeweghe in a World TeamTennis match that ended in a nine-point tiebreaker at 5-all last summer in their only meeting.

"Suitcase" is an aptly named, nice sized messenger bag (totes too) made from recycled vintage suits. Created by London based Edson Raupp, each bag takes on a unique look depending on the suit and cut. From the site, "Edson has since designed many bags using recycled suit jackets where the key tailoring elements of sleeves, pockets, lapels, buttonholes and buttons form part of the design or act as decoration. The classic nature of the English gentlemen's jacket is retained but an almost surreal aspect is developed, exemplifying a British eccentricity." [ via ] Link.

Spore game goes gold, expected Sept. 7
Macworld AUG 15, 2008 12:26 am PDT
Electronic Arts and Maxis have announced that Spore, the long-awaited game from The Sims and SimCity creator Will Wright, has gone gold master. The game has been developed for Mac OS X and Windows and will hit store shelves on September 7, 2008.
Spore is billed as "your own personal universe in a box." You evolve life from a single-cell animal all the way up to an intelligent life form, establish tribes, build civilizations and construct a world—then go out and explore a universe populated by the creatures created by other gamers.
The game features creative tools that let you craft your own creatures, vehicles, buildings and spaceships—in fact, earlier this year, EA released Spore Creature Creator, a software toy based on those tools.
Spore is coming in two versions—a $49.99 standard release and a $79.99 "Galactic Edition" that includes a "Making of Spore" DVD, a National Geographic documentary DVD, "The Art of Spore" hardback book, an exclusive Spore poster and a 100-page Galactic Handbook.
Unlike EA's 2007 Macintosh game releases, the Mac and PC versions are shipping together in the same box. Like those previous releases, Spore was developed for the Mac by TransGaming using their Cider translation layer technology. Spore requires a Mac with an Intel processor (GMA 950 graphics in older Intel MacBooks, Mac minis and some iMacs are not supported).

Meet our winners of the fourth annual Diamond Awards.
They say it's all about the dress, and that couldn't be truer for bride Lizzie Hillman-Butch. "My vision came the moment I tried on an Amsale hand-beaded, dark ivory dress," she said. "It sparkled with an understated drama reminiscent of another era and inspired an unexpected fusion of vintage and modern details." Such a blend of old and new is what caught the attention of our judges, who chose this as the Real Wedding of the Year. The florals, done in a blend of coral, orange and yellow by Lisa Roy at Flora Bella, added a romantic feel to the Nazareth Chapel and the reception at the Calhoun Beach Club. The judges also couldn't help but remark on the fun the couple and their crew appeared to have throughout the entire day. The first dance turned into a high energy routine to "Levels" by Avicii and concluded with a rap of Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" by the groom. One judge said it best: "You find yourself wishing you'd been on the invite list."

Recently, the West End Chamber of Commerce held a public meeting to discuss crime and the level of police presence.
A mark of a civilized society is the willingness of its residences to accept and follow the rule of law. This is the foundation of liberty. Without this cooperation, crime flourishes and there is little that the government can do without becoming totalitarian.
There is little that the police can do to prevent crime because they are not allowed to act prior to witnessing a crime taking place. I'm not aware of a pattern of criminals waiting for a police presence before violating the law. Though they occasionally happen upon a crime in progress, the main activity of the police is taking reports and pursuing and capturing criminals after the crime has been committed.
From the '30s through the '50s crime was in steady decline. Having grown up in the '30s and '40s, I can testify to a higher level of civility, self control and responsibility. This is not to say that no one broke the law or behaved badly. Inappropriate behavior resulted not just in consequences but also in public condemnation. Disobedience in school resulted in double consequences: in school and when you got home.
The '60s changed all that. Excuses were made for misbehavior; consequences were waved; drug use and other inappropriate behavior was celebrated and by 1974 crime had more than doubled.
If you're interested in understanding how this happened and how so many well-intentioned policies fall prey to the law of unintended consequences, if you care about the direction in which we are headed, you will take the time to read Thomas Sowell's "The Vision of the Anointed." In plain English, Dr. Sowell analyzes the rhetoric and statistical fallacies that led us in a different direction.


Today sees the publication of my book Understanding Trans Health. I'm really happy to be finally sharing it with the world.
Yesterday I hosted a launch event at the University of Leeds. I felt really strongly that this was an opportunity not only to celebrate the book, but also to explore some of the other fantastic work happening in the field of trans health. One of the things I write about in the penultimate chapter of Understanding Trans Health is the importance of collaboration and building one another up – I wanted to help start a conversation that encompassed more than my own work, and give something back to others from whom I have learned so much.
My own talk offered a broad overview of my book's central ideas and themes, as well as some illustrative examples from research participants, healthcare literatures and resources. I also touched upon what it means to become an "expert" from my own experience as a trans academic, and the sometimes severe challenges that come with this. Several attendees tweeted summaries of my talk, which I have linked below.One attendee also very kindly filmed sections of my talk, so these may be uploaded to the Internet at a later date.
You can read more about the event on the Twitter hashtag #transhealthleeds. But ultimately, to learn more about my work, I encourage you to buy the book!
The success of Understanding Trans Health will depend in part on word of mouth, so if you find the book interesting or useful, please do write a review to share your thoughts! Similarly, if you work or study at a university, please do talk to your subject librarian to see if they can order in a copy.
As for the event, I would like to offer a huge amount of thanks to everyone who came, as well as to the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Leeds for supporting the event, and to Sally Hines for her warm contributions as a fantastic chair.
My research monograph Understanding Trans Health will be published in just over a month! To celebrate, I will be holding an event on Tuesday 5th June at the University of Leeds, where I will be discussing the book and the findings it reports. I have also invited a number of people I admire enormously to talk about what they're working on at the moment.
The event is FREE but places are limited, so please do register if you want to come!
Accessing trans healthcare: what role for medical law?
The event will be chaired by my colleague Professor Sally Hines.
There will also be plenty of time for questions and discussion. The event will be followed by a reception with free drinks and nibbles.
Trans Genealogies: special issue articles now online!
I'm delighted to announce that the articles written for the Sexualities special issue 'Trans Genealogies' – edited by myself, Deborah Lynn Steinberg and Igi Moon – have now been pre-published on OnlineFirst.
While the creation of this special issue has been a particularly long and difficult affair, it was really fantastic to work with such interesting and thought-provoking articles. I'm really excited that we can now finally share them with the world.
The articles will be formally collated and published in a single issue of Sexualities in a few months' time. This will be available both online and in print format, and I'll no doubt be using that as an opportunity to once again encourage people to read them.
enactment that we nevertheless take for granted.
through the subtle contingencies of repetitious reproduction and metacommentary.
and allowing new possibilities to emerge.
possibilities 'that do not involve straightening or alignment'.
Igi Moon also looks predominantly at the experiences and narratives of trans youth in '''Boying'' the boy and ''girling'' the girl: From affective interpellation to trans-emotionality'. In their article, Moon argues that emergent trans discourses offer an important alternative to binary notions of emotionality. Moon describes 'trans-emotionality' as a pluralistic approach to understanding gendered feeling that has been made possible through non-binary and genderqueer peoples' responses to experiences of sexual liminality and dis-orientation.
our accounts of trans possibility.
An optimistic account of such possibilities is provided by Ruth Pearce and Kirsty Lohman. In 'De/constructing DIY identities in a trans music scene', the authors draw upon a case study of an 'underground' scene in the UK to explore how trans discourses and everyday political approaches can feed into processes of cultural production. This offers an insight into what possibilities might emerge and flow from 'trans' as a pluralistic approach to gender and identification.
complex post-colonial impact of Western discourses and political interventions.
I hope readers find the special issue articles as fascinating, challenging, and useful as we did. Enjoy!
Experiences of co-authorship often remain strangely silent, oddly invisible.
In academic publishing, co-authorship is common; and yet, how often do we think about whose voice we are reading, and how a collaborative narrative emerged? How often do we teach students to write together rather than apart? What visions do we have of co-authorship?
I don't think we talk enough about these experiences and issues.
This week, an editorial I co-authored for the forthcoming Sexualities special issue 'Trans Genealogies' was published online. For me, this short piece carries a great deal of emotional weight. It was written under pretty unique circumstances, with my fellow author and former PhD supervisor Deborah Lynn Steinberg close to death. In this sense, it was hardly a standard experience of collaborative writing.
However, in discussing my experiences of this article and others, I hope to offer some insight into an oft-hidden process of co-authorship, while encouraging readers to maybe reflect on their own experiences of collaboration.
Some co-authored articles owe their existence primarily to one of their authors. We might hope that this is the lead author, although this is not always the case.
Last year, I contributed to an article on research ethics for the journal Transgender Health. This was an exciting collaboration and a very interesting experience, with an international team of authors working remotely through the Internet to pool our ideas and expertise. It was an honour and a privilege to work with Jaimie Veale, Asa Radix, Danielle Castro, Amrita Sarkar and Kai Cheng Thom, and I learned a great deal from their considerable expertise in doing so. However, at the core of the writing project was lead author Noah Adams. While myself and the other authors did put a great deal of work into the article, Noah initiated the collaboration, produced the original article draft, oversaw the integration of our respective contributions into the piece, and acted as the primary point of contact for our communications with the Transgender Health editorial team. It was only right that he was credited as lead author.
On other occasions, I have seen how this kind of collaboration might be an exploitative one. During my time as a PhD student, I witnessed other postgraduates put this kind of effort into supposedly joint projects with their supervisors, only for the said supervisors to be credited as lead authors (or, on a depressing number of occasions, as the sole author). This was particularly disappointing in the context of social science subjects, where the presumption tends to be that the lead author did the majority of the work.
I had a very different experience of collaboration with Kirsty Lohman. Our article on de/constructive trans DIY music scenes will also be included in the 'Trans Genealogies' special issue. We wrote together, in the same room; sometimes taking turns to tackle individual paragraphs, other times constructing sentences together with one of us sat at the keyboard and the two of us almost competing to find the next word. It was a real joint effort in which we both put an equal amount of energy into the work. I am named as lead author only because one of us had to be; at the time the article was accepted, we agreed that it was more beneficial to my career at that point in time than it was to Kirsty's.
Deborah related a similar history of writing collaborations with a close colleague and friend. She vividly described how she would furiously lay ideas down onto a Word document while her colleague paced the room impatiently, bursting with ideas of her own, before the two would swap places. Whole afternoons, whole days could be spent in fruitful (if sometimes fiery) joint authorship.
There was no such option for the 'Trans Genealogies' editorial. The special issue was originally Deborah's idea, a follow-up to our 2012-14 seminar series Retheorising Gender and Sexuality: The Emergence of 'Trans'. She pitched the series to the editors of Sexualities, wrote the Call For Papers, and provided extensive advice and support to authors who made contact prior to the January 2016 deadline. At the time I was happy for her to take the lead, as I had finished the majority of the data collection for my PhD and was focusing on writing up my thesis.
The deadline came and went, but myself and fellow co-editor Igi Moon didn't hear from Deborah for weeks, then months. As her cancer advanced, she was increasingly ill and unable to continue leading the editorial work for the journal. Eventually, Igi and I took over the editorial process, overseeing peer review and seeking to ensure that Deborah's vision could be fulfilled.
By January 2017 we had identified the seven research articles that would comprise the special issue, most of which were provisionally accepted or near completion. Unfortunately, it was also apparent that Deborah would not live to see the publication of the special issue. She was first house-bound, and then bed-bound. We visited her as often as we could, sharing stories from our lives and updating her on the progress of the issue.
I had originally envisaged that Deborah would take the lead on writing the editorial, just as she originally took the lead on editing the issue more generally. By the time we had a firm idea of the issue's contents, however, it was painfully apparent that this would be impossible.
As it become increasingly clear that Deborah had just weeks (if not days) to live, I became obsessed with writing the editorial while she was still alive. I wanted it to be a true collective work, but how to do this when my collaborator could barely speak, let alone write – when this woman who had dedicated herself utterly to her work was finally unable to enjoy the intellectual pursuits that had been such a driving force in her life?
In the end, I decided to revisit Deborah's previous writings and reflections, the ones that had inspired and galvanised the editorial project in the first place. I poured over her notes from the Emergence of Trans series, the agendas and essays she wrote for individual events, her introductory talk for the 'Trans in Popular Culture' seminar.
I met with Igi to discuss the contents of the special issue: the contributions of the individual articles, and their thematic place in the wider context of the issue and of the wider literatures to which they speak. We listed key ideas and phrases we want to incorporate into the editorial.
I re-immersed myself in the literatures of transgender studies, thinking about recent trends and emerging concerns as well as longstanding debates and histories. I also thought about Sara Ahmed's comments on the politics of citation, and committed to a centring of insights from trans scholars and/or scholars of colour.
And then I sat down. And I wrote.
After finishing the editorial, I visited Deborah one last time. I was excited to tell her that it was completed, and to explain how inspired I had been by working with her ideas, working with her words.
But by this point she was no longer with us. Her body fought on for just a few more days while she restlessly slept.
In retrospect, it's a somewhat flawed piece. The editorial offers a very brief, broad summary of the context in which specifically 'trans' discourses have emerged and been contested. It was, in a sense, constrained through the need to address a set of themes originally outlined by Deborah, now a simultaneously absent and ever-present co-author.
When I re-read the editorial, I do what perhaps every author does. I notice every awkward turn of phrase, every moment of repetition, every missing references (perhaps most prominent of these is Stryker, Currah and Moore's piece 'Trans-, Trans, or Transgender?', which I was unable to access through my institution at the time). Following Deborah's death, neither Igi nor I had any appetite for further revisions. We sent it off to Sexualities, and thought little more about it.
Yet, perhaps the brief, intense process by which the editorial finally came into being is one of its greatest strengths. I wrote it in a fit of passion, pulling together our collective ideas with a sense of deep love and purpose. In this sense, my commitment to the field, and to the wider promise of trans liberation, was one with my commitment to my fellow authors, my collaborators.
And I feel it is a better piece of writing for that.
I will be writing a follow-up piece about the broader contents of the special issue next week.

A � health centre has been unveiled in Dumfries and Galloway � the fourth infrastructure project to be completed by hub South West in the last two months.
The project was funded by the Scottish Government and delivered by hub South West Scotland Limited, in partnership with the Scottish Futures Trust and NHS Dumfries and Galloway. Another primary care centre at nearby Dunscore has been completed by hub South West in the last few weeks, along with a £2.3m medical centre in Ardrossan, and the £1.5m Irvine Annickbank Office Development.
Hub South West has a delivery pipeline of circa £400m of projects currently on its books, including three health centres under construction for NHS Lanarkshire in Kilsyth, East Kilbride and Wishaw with a total value of £42m. These are estimated for completion in March, May and August next year respectively.
The centre will be called Craignair Health Centre and will offer eleven clinical rooms alongside staff and administration facilities, with associated car parking. Health services will include podiatry, orthoptics, physiotherapy, health visitors and district nurses, midwifery and visiting specialists. Improved facilities will provide support for all members of the community, increasing the capacity of an existing local GP practice and providing adequate space for patents, visitors and staff.
"The new Dalbeattie Primary Care Centre is an excellent facility that will be an asset to the NHS and serve the local community well for decades to come. Along with the similar centres at Ardrossan and Dunscore this represents a significant Scottish Government investment in the south west of Scotland.
"These new buildings are not just good news for the patients and staff of the NHS. Investment on this scale has a tremendously positive effect on the local economy � creating jobs and apprenticeships and helping local businesses.
"We are delighted with the successful delivery of Craignair Health Centre in Dalbeattie, and also a similar development in Dunscore. As a Tier 1 Contractor for hub South West Scotland, we hope that NHS Dumfries and Galloway and the GPs enjoy these first class facilities for many years to come. With a base in Dumfries and Galloway, these projects have allowed us to reinforce our commitment to Operatives and Supply Chain from Local Communities."

Marea Ducesă Alexandra Iosifovna a Rusiei (8 iulie 1830 – 6 iulie 1911), născută Prințesa Alexandra Friederike Henriette de Saxa-Altenburg a fost a cincea fiică a Ducelui de Saxa-Altenburg, Joseph Georg Friedrich Ernst Karl și a Ameliei de Württemberg. S-a căsătorit cu Marele Duce Constantin Nikolaevici, al doilea fiu al Țarului Nicolae I al Rusiei, la 11 septembrie 1848.

Căsătorie și copii

În vara anului 1846, Alexandra l-a întâlnit pe Marele Duce Constantin Nicolaevici al Rusiei atunci când el a vizitat Altenburg. Marele Duce Constantin era al doilea fiu al Țarului Nicolae I al Rusiei și al Țarinei Alexandra Feodorovna născută Prințesa Charlotte a Prusiei.

Constantin a stat câteva zile la castelul tatălui Alexandrei. Vizita lui acolo a fost aranjată de mătușa Alexandrei, Marea Ducesă Elena Pavlovna, care se născuse Prințesa Charlotte de Württemberg. Elena și mama Alexandrei erau descendente ale lui Frederick al II-lea Eugene, Duce de Württemberg. Marea Ducesă Elena era căsătorită cu Marele Duce Mihail Pavlovici, fratele mai mic al Țarului Nicolae I. Elena Pavlovna era deci mătușa lui Constantin prin căsătorie și mătușa Alexandrei prin naștere. Ea avea o puternică influență asupra lui Constantin, care îi admira inteligența și opiniile progresive. Elenei îi plăcea literatura și muzica, a fondat Conservatorul din Sankt Petersburg iar tânărul Constantin își petrecea timpul adesea în casa și în salonul mătușii sale din Sankt Petersburg.

Constantin era intelectual și liberal, în timp ce Alexandra era conservatoare și mai degrabă înalt spiritualizată. Deși temperamente lor erau diferite, ambii aveau în comun interesul față de muzică și le plăcea să cânte în duet la pian. Constantin era captivat de frumusețea Alexandrei: era înaltă, subțire și atractivă. Curând, a devenit nerăbdător să se căsătorească cu ea: "Nu știu ce se întâmplă cu mine. Este ca și cum aș fi o persoană complet nouă. Un singur gând am, o singură imagine îmi umple ochii: pentru totdeauna, ea și numai ea, îngerul meu, universul meu. Chiar cred că sunt îndrăgostit, altfel ce-ar însemna asta? O cunosc doar de câteva ore și sunt îndrăgostit până peste urechi".
Alexandra avea șaisprezece ani iar Constantin nouăsprezece; s-au logodit însă au trebuit să aștepte mai mult de doi ani înainte să se căsătorească.

Alexandra a ajuns în Rusia la 12 octombrie 1847 și a fost întâmpinată de fanfară și de o sărbătoare populară, cu mulțimi care jubilau și care se înghesuiau pe străzi și la balcoane. Se spunea că Alexandra semăna mult cu sora logodnicului ei, Marea Ducesă Alexandra Nicolaevna, care murise la o naștere, lucru care a umplut-o de lacrimi pe soacra sa la prima lor întâlnire.

În februarie 1848, Alexandra s-a convertit la ortodoxism și a luat numele de Marea Ducesă Alexandra Iosifovna, care reflecta numele tatălui ei Joseph. Alexandra și Constantin s-au căsătorit la Palatul de Iarnă din Sankt Petersburg, la 11 septembrie 1848. Constantin a primit ca dar de nuntă de la părinții săi palatul Marble. Strelna din Golful Finlandei, pe care Constantin o moștenise la vârsta de patru ani, a devenit reședința de la țară a cuplului.
Marii Ducese Alexandra Iosifovna i-a plăcut să se ocupe de grădina de la Strelna, a fondat o școală în grădină, unde preda chiar ea. Tot în grădină erau jucării educative pentru copii: un catarg din lemn, o trambulină pentru gimnastică și o replică a unei cabine dintr-una din fregatele lui Constantin.

La un an după căsătorie Constantin a moștenit de la unchiul său Marele Duce Mihail Pavlovici, palatul Pavlovsk situat la 19 mile sud de Sankt Petersburg. Mai târziu, Alexandra și Constantin au primit palatul din Oreanda din Crimeea, care inițial a fost construit de Țarina Alexandra Feodorovna și lăsat celui de-al doilea fiu.

Constantin și Alexandra au avut 6 copii:
 Nicolae Constantinovici 1850-1918; căsătorit cu  Nadedja Alexandrovna von Dreyer.
 Olga Constantinovna 1851-1926; căsătorită cu George I al Greciei și bunica Prințului Filip, Duce de Edinburgh.
 Vera Constantinovna 1854-1912; căsătorită cu Ducele Eugen de Württemberg.
 Constantin Constantinovici 1858-1915; căsătorit cu Prințesa Elisabeta de Saxa-Altenburg.
 Dimitri Constantinovici 1860-1919; necăsătorit.
 Viaceslav Constantinovici 1862-1879; necăsătorit.

Criza familială

În 1867, fiica cea mare a Alexandrei, Olga, s-a căsătorit cu regele George I al Greciei. Avea numai șaisprezece ani iar inițial, Constantin a fost împotriva ca ea să se căsătorească atât de tânără. În iulie 1868, s-a născut primul copil al Olgăi și a fost numit Constantin după bunicul său. Începutul familiei fiicei lor a coincis cu începutul destrămării mariajului Alexandrei și a lui Constantin.

La sfârșitul anului 1860, Constantin a început o aventură extraconjugală și a avut o fiică nelegitimă, Marie Condousso. Curând după nașterea Mariei, Constantin a început o nouă relație cu o tânără dansatoare de la Conservatorul din Sankt Petersburg, Anna Vasilievna Kuznețova, cu care a avut cinci copii.

În 1874, s-a descoperit că fiul cel mai mare al Alexandrei, Marele Duce Nicolae Constantinovici, care trăia o viață dezordonată și avea idei revoluționare, a furat trei diamante valoroase de la o icoană din dormitorul mamei sale în complicitate cu amanta sa, o curtezană americană. A fost găsit vinovat, declarat nebun și exilat pe viață în Asia Centrală. Cinci ani mai târziu, în 1879, cel mai mic fiu al Alexandrei, Viaceslav, a murit în mod neașteptat de o hemoragie cerebrală.

La începutul lui august 1889, Constantin a suferit un accident vascular cerebral sever care i-a paralizat piciorul stâng și l-a făcut să-și piardă capacitatea de a vorbi . Invalid, Constantin a rămas în îngrijirea soției legale care s-a putut răzbuna pe infidelitățile și umilințele din trecut.

Când Constantin a murit în ianuarie 1892, Alexandra a aranjat pentru amanta soțului ei Anna să viziteze Pavlovsk și să se roage la patul lui Constantin.

Alexandra a murit la 6 iulie 1911 la Sankt Petersburg și a fost înmormântată la catedrala Petru și Pavel.

The Cochlea
Dallos, Peter
Fay, Richard R.
Knowledge about the structure and function of the inner ear is vital to an understanding of vertebrate hearing. This volume presents a detailed overview of the mammalian cochlea from its anatomy and physiology to its biophysics and biochemistry. The nine review chapters, written by internationally distinguished auditory researchers, provide a detailed and unified introduction to sound processing in the cochlea and the steps by which the ensuing signals are prepared for the central nervous system.

Mr Robert Ferrars 12
"Upon my soul,"
Character: Mr Robert Ferrars
"I believe it is nothing more; and so I often tell my mother, when she is grieving about it. 'My dear Madam,' I always say to her, 'you must make yourself easy. The evil is now irremediable, and it has been entirely your own doing. Why would you be persuaded by my uncle, Sir Robert, against your own judgment, to place Edward under private tuition, at the most critical time of his life? If you had only sent him to Westminster as well as myself, instead of sending him to Mr. Pratt's, all this would have been prevented.' This is the way in which I always consider the matter, and my mother is perfectly convinced of her error."
"You reside in Devonshire, I think," —
"in a cottage near Dawlish."
"For my own part,"
"I am excessively fond of a cottage; there is always so much comfort, so much elegance about them. And I protest, if I had any money to spare, I should buy a little land and build one myself, within a short distance of London, where I might drive myself down at any time, and collect a few friends about me, and be happy. I advise every body who is going to build, to build a cottage. My friend Lord Courtland came to me the other day on purpose to ask my advice, and laid before me three different plans of Bonomi's. I was to decide on the best of them. 'My dear Courtland,' said I, immediately throwing them all into the fire, 'do not adopt either of them, but by all means build a cottage.' And that I fancy, will be the end of it.
"Some people imagine that there can be no accommodations, no space in a cottage; but this is all a mistake. I was last month at my friend Elliott's, near Dartford. Lady Elliott wished to give a dance.
said she;
I immediately saw that there could be no difficulty in it, so I said, 'My dear Lady Elliott, do not be uneasy. The dining parlour will admit eighteen couple with ease; card-tables may be placed in the drawing-room; the library may be open for tea and other refreshments; and let the supper be set out in the saloon.' Lady Elliott was delighted with the thought. We measured the dining-room, and found it would hold exactly eighteen couple, and the affair was arranged precisely after my plan. So that, in fact, you see, if people do but know how to set about it, every comfort may be as well enjoyed in a cottage as in the most spacious dwelling."
"We may treat it as a joke,"
"but, upon my soul, it is a most serious business. Poor Edward! he is ruined for ever. I am extremely sorry for it — for I know him to be a very good-hearted creature; as well-meaning a fellow perhaps, as any in the world. You must not judge of him, Miss Dashwood, from YOUR slight acquaintance. — Poor Edward! — His manners are certainly not the happiest in nature. — But we are not all born, you know, with the same powers, — the same address. — Poor fellow! — to see him in a circle of strangers! — to be sure it was pitiable enough! — but upon my soul, I believe he has as good a heart as any in the kingdom; and I declare and protest to you I never was so shocked in my life, as when it all burst forth. I could not believe it. — My mother was the first person who told me of it; and I, feeling myself called on to act with resolution, immediately said to her, 'My dear madam, I do not know what you may intend to do on the occasion, but as for myself, I must say, that if Edward does marry this young woman, I never will see him again.' That was what I said immediately. — I was most uncommonly shocked, indeed! — Poor Edward! — he has done for himself completely — shut himself out for ever from all decent society! — but, as I directly said to my mother, I am not in the least surprised at it; from his style of education, it was always to be expected. My poor mother was half frantic."
"Yes; once, while she was staying in this house, I happened to drop in for ten minutes; and I saw quite enough of her. The merest awkward country girl, without style, or elegance, and almost without beauty. — I remember her perfectly. Just the kind of girl I should suppose likely to captivate poor Edward. I offered immediately, as soon as my mother related the affair to me, to talk to him myself, and dissuade him from the match; but it was too late THEN, I found, to do any thing, for unluckily, I was not in the way at first, and knew nothing of it till after the breach had taken place, when it was not for me, you know, to interfere. But had I been informed of it a few hours earlier — I think it is most probable — that something might have been hit on. I certainly should have represented it to Edward in a very strong light. 'My dear fellow,' I should have said, 'consider what you are doing. You are making a most disgraceful connection, and such a one as your family are unanimous in disapproving.' I cannot help thinking, in short, that means might have been found. But now it is all too late. He must be starved, you know; — that is certain; absolutely starved."

Glynis M. Belec on 'Raising Benjamin Frog'
Some of us know what it's like raising or working with an autistic child. Perhaps you are a parent or a teacher, a sister, brother, friend. Autism to some, could be a shocking diagnosis. Not for one special family. Sure Lynne Collier could have tossed her hands in the air, become frustrated and shaken her fist at God. But she didn't. The first few lines in her Dedication says it all: "I wrote this book because I have a story to tell; a story of a mother's love and special bond with her autistic child. . ."
Melanie Doria on 'Your Write Voice for His Kingdom'


NEW YORK (CNS) — In chronicling the early history of McDonald's, "The Founder" (Weinstein) makes compelling food for thought, if not exactly a happy meal.
The drama is based on the true story of Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), the traveling salesman who initially befriended the McDonald brothers, Richard (Nick Offerman) and Maurice (John Carroll Lynch), but eventually steamrolled over them. Robert Siegel's screenplay strives to set the record straight about who was actually responsible for the food service behemoth — which today feeds 1 percent of the world's population, every single day.
In Minneapolis, Kroc meets Rollie Smith (Patrick Wilson), a steakhouse owner interested in bankrolling the franchise. His piano-playing spouse, Joan (Linda Cardellini), catches Kroc's ear — and heart, as she will become his next wife as well as a shrewd business partner.
The film contains mature themes, including divorce, and brief profane and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III — adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 — parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
"capitalism, greed and the dark side of the American dream". You need to learn about capitalism! Joan Kroc has given a couple billion (that's billion with a b) dollars to charity via the Ronald McDonald Houses, the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at Notre Dame Univ., the St. Vincent de Paul Joan Kroc Center for the Homeless in San Diego, to name a few. I'm disappointed in your review of this movie.


The Russell Hobbs GTS23 has a built in halogen light bulb that turns on when the microwave door opens or when the microwave runs. Microwaves typically see a lot of use but require little in the way of routine maintenance. Although you can still use the microwave with the bulb burnt out, you will not have any means to monitor the food inside the microwave while it cooks. Replacing the bulb is relatively straightforward and does not require a technician to complete.
Disconnect the microwave from its power source.
Place the microwave on its back and remove the screws that secure the sides to the bottom with a screwdriver.
Place the microwave upright and remove the screw from the back cover panel with a screwdriver.
Lift the cover panel off the microwave to expose its inner components.
Locate the halogen light bulb in the front right corner of the microwave and remove it by threading it counter-clockwise just as you would do with a normal light bulb.
Install the new light bulb into the light socket by threading it clockwise.
Slide the cover onto the microwave and secure the back of the cover by reinstalling the screws. Once installed, place the microwave on its back and secure it by reinstalling the screws on the bottom.
Plug the microwave back into its electrical source.

Gotta Hand It To 'Family Guy,' Their Take On The Donald Trump Bus Chat Is Hilarious
Eric Italia | Oct 17, 2016 12:50 pm | Apr 9, 2021 7:17 pm
Who still watches Family Guy? I don't have a single buddy that's even mentioned the show in about five years, let alone watched it. Once a groundbreaking comedy, Family Guy is now more-or-less a run-of-the-mill adult cartoon. Let's just say it ain't no South Park.
That being said, Family Guy will still hit a homerun every now and again. Think of them as a DL hitter who's close to retirement: nowhere near the everyday starter they were in their prime, but still competent enough to launch one out of the park now and again.
We already know how The Donald feels about SNL's portrayal of him, so we can only imagine what he thinks of Family Guy's.

yaaay I was rooting for Louie because of how the siblings were being jerks.
But I think we're all forgetting the kids will get separated and one will be murdered if Louie wins this fight... I like Louie more, but with those stakes I'd rather not see him victorious.
I just wanted you to know that for the forth panel I imagine Louie making the same scream that Ichigo make in his hollow form.
I don't watch much Bleach, but I remember that scream, and it fits here really well.


WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump ripped into one of his favorite targets Thursday in Beijing: The United States' "shockingly" large trade deficit with China.
America's lopsided trade relationship with China and with the rest of the world is a familiar theme for Trump and his economic team. They've branded trade deficits a mark of economic weakness — even shame — that depress growth and kill jobs.
And trade deficits do reduce gross domestic product, the broadest measure of a nation's economic output. It's mainly a matter of mathematics: GDP counts only goods and services that are produced in the United States. So imports — which are counted as consumer spending when you buy, say, Swiss chocolates — are excluded from GDP to prevent them from artificially inflating U.S. production.
But the main factor behind America's vast trade gap goes well beyond any country's bad behavior: The United States spends more than it saves. This trend shows up as budget deficits in Washington and credit-card balances in American households. When you spend more than you produce, imports fill the gap.
Foreigners shouldn't be blamed, economists say, if Americans won't live within their means.
Trump has targeted, in particular, some of the sizable trade deficits that the United States runs with individual countries. His contentious push to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, for example, is meant to shrink America's trade shortfall with Mexico.
But economists say a country's trade deficit with individual countries is a pointless measure. It's natural for the United States to run surpluses with some countries and deficits with others. At a think tank event in Washington last month, Robert Zoellick, a former U.S. trade representative, quipped that he ran a deficit with his local supermarket.

White to play and win, hopefully!
Accept it, you don't follow chess because as a sport it is complex and cerebral, something that demands a lot from you especially because you don't even know what exactly cerebral means.
The ongoing World Chess Championship at Sochi —- between India's old warhorse Vishwanathan Anand, the five-time former world champion but the undisputed reigning brand ambassador of Crocin, and the Norwegian prodigy Magnus Carlsen, who is already in the gallery of greats for being the only player in the chess world who has a striking resemblance to a morose Lou Vincent —- is now poised excellently for an entertaining run.
And it has provided us an excellent occasion to introduce chess to the newbies so that they can play it, follow it as a fan and also understand that at the end of a game, it is possible for a player playing the game to be less tired than the guy watching it.
And we begin with the basics:
Board and Pieces: Chess is played over 64 alternating black and white squares. All the 64 squares on the board are identified in alpha-numeric terms (h4, e7 c2h5oh, ch3cooh) —- letters are assigned to the x-axis and numbers to the y-axis and you work out each square based on its position relative to both x and y axes, a pretty easy and uncomplicated system provided you have majored in high-end mathematics.
Each player lords over 16 pieces of 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops and a king and queen, telling apart the two has to be your first lesson in chess. The king constantly sports a crown because 1) He is a royal person 2) without which he will be, actor Suriya-like, shorter than his queen.
The king, perhaps he is piles-afflicted or some such, is mobility-challenged and can move only square at a time. The aim of the game is to 'mate' such a king.
With the king practically confined to a corner, the queen, not surprisingly, is more outgoing, if you get our drift. Not to sound catty here, but the queen doesn't mind venturing into dark places dominated by enemy men whose intentions seem anything but virtuous.
When the queen, bishop and knight are out in the front doing their thing, back at the starting line, the king and rook can do what two people normally do when they are caught all alone: Jump over each other. It is called 'castling' because it will be too bold to come right out and accept it for what it is — a jumbo kink.
In normal play, only the knight has the ability to jump over other pieces, the bishop moves only in diagonal orientation, the rook in straight lines and the pawn in small steps. As you can see, chess is a highly structured and thinking game, and no wonder champion chess players turn out to be extremely brainy people capable of handling acute logical challenges, the types the totally random life never throws up.
Opening gambit: Technically, there are only twenty possible ways to make the opening move, and there are only twenty possible moves to it in response. But there several hundreds of ways to make the whole thing sound complicated. Like this: Alekhine's Defence, Bishop's Opening, Caro-Kann Defence, Giuoco Piano, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Grünfeld Defence, Petrov's Defence, Ruy Lopez, Queen's Gambit, Kim Kardashian Front and Back and Manchester United's Useless Defence.
Within your standard opening gambit (the initial set of moves), you can still attempt some novelty or variation, to catch your opponent off-guard. As a newcomer, coughing can be your best bet as a variation while making the move.
Middle game: This is the most crucial part of the whole game along with the other most crucial parts of the game. It is the period when as a player you can consolidate your position, or if you are feeling slightly uncomfortable with your position, ask for a totally new chair. FIDE rules allow for this.
During the middle game phase you can, to overcome the pressure of the occasion, go out for a walk or drink coffee or practice other worthwhile hobbies like stamp collection.
Many erstwhile Soviet Union players repeatedly stress on the importance of middle game. They should know because of many of them used it to good effect during their playing days by emigrating to a different country.
End game: As the name itself suggests this is the part of the game that plays itself out when the end card starts rolling.
The end game sees a flurry of activity as the contestants, who generally operate in slow-motion (for the sake of television audience) during the opening and middle games, seek to make up for the lost time.
There will be tension and tumult. But you need to stay cool, not lose your focus, bring into play all your innate intelligence and poise and stay positive and hopeful. Who knows, your opponent could also be someone who learnt his chess reading this piece.
With this gambit, at least a stalemate is guaranteed.

Lil Jon Wins Copyright Ruling Over 'Weedman'
Annie Clemens / January 23, 2009
(CN) - The 11th Circuit put to rest a copyright infringement claim against Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz over a song called "The Weedman." A three-judge panel ruled that the freelance musician who helped write the song gave the rap group an implied license to use the track on its "Kings of Crunk" album.
Musician Redwin Wilchcombe first met the rap group at a recording studio, where Lil Jon and his group were laying down tracks for the "Kings of Crunk" album.
According to the ruling, Lil Jon came up with an idea for a song about calling a "weedman" after someone suggested they call a marijuana dealer. Wilchcombe, who was present at the time, sang a chorus and melody that Lil Jon liked. The rapper told Wilchcombe to finish the song for the group's album.
Wilchcombe composed and produced "The Weedman," with regular feedback from Lil Jon. After the plaintiff delivered the track for mixing, Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz added some vocal tracks and ad-libs. The album credited Wilchcombe's production company, Red for Teamwerk, for the song. By January 2005, the "Kings of Krunk" had sold 2 million copies.
Wilchcombe admitted that he never discussed a contract or payment prior to the album's release in October 2002. When he didn't get paid for his contributions, he filed a copyright claim for "Tha Weedman," based on the album version of the song. On his application, he listed himself as the sole author.
He then sued Lil Jon (whose real name is Jonathan Smith), the members of the East Side Boyz, and the labels TeeVee Toons (TVT) and BME Records for breach of fiduciary duty and copyright infringement.
The federal court in Georgia dismissed the lawsuit on the basis that Wilchcombe gave the defendants an implied nonexclusive license to use the song. The plaintiff moved for reconsideration, but the court again tossed out Wilchcombe's claims. Wilchcombe unsuccessfully argued that he had revoked any implied license when his attorney sent TVT a cease-and-desist letter 72 days after the album was released.
He also claimed he had never granted an implied license to TVT, the nation's largest independent record label. Lil Jon owns part of BME Records, which has an exclusive contract with TVT over the rap group's recordings.
The district court said the claims were "new arguments that plaintiff could and should have made before this Court issued its judgment."
When Wilchcombe raised the same arguments on appeal, the federal appeals court sided with the lower court.
"The district court properly rejected these arguments," Judge Birch wrote, "and we likewise refuse to give Wilchcombe a 'second bite at the apple.'"
The court agreed with the conclusion that Wilchcombe had given Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz his implied consent to use "The Weedman" in their album.
The court also pointed out that the plaintiff had asserted solo authorship for his copyright claim, but then said the song was co-authored in order to establish a confidential relationship for his breach of fiduciary duty claim.
The defendants asked the court to grant them summary judgment on the copyright claim for two additional reasons: Wilchcombe can't copyright a song taken from their album containing their ad-libs; and he can't allege copyright infringement on a co-written song.
The court ruled that it "need not determine whether summary judgment was also warranted on this claim," because it was affirming judgment for the defendants based on the existence of an implied nonexclusive license.

WASHINGTON — Food and Drug Administration officials said in March that they have started several new initiatives in response to the Institute of Medicine's call to upgrade and overhaul its drug safety efforts. The projects, including a pilot project to more closely monitor the postmarketing safety of four new molecular entities and a plan to put more postmarketing data on the agency's Web site, were revealed at a meeting sponsored by the IOM.
In a September 2006 report that lambasted FDA's safety oversight, the IOM called on the agency to issue an interim report on selected drugs' postmarketing safety at least 18 months, and no longer than 5 years, after launch.
"I think 5 years is too late to find out what a drug is doing," said Dr. Robert Temple, associate director for medical policy at the FDA.
The FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) has begun a pilot project with four new molecular entities to pull together all available data at 1, 2, and 3 years after launch. Officials will look at the Adverse Events Reporting System database, ongoing postmarketing studies, and other data to see how much can be learned about each particular drug at each time point, said Dr. Temple. He would not disclose which drugs are part of the pilot.
The FDA also plans to publish a newsletter on its Web site that will provide up-to-date information on a drug's postmarketing experience, said Dr. Ellis Unger, acting deputy director for science at CDER's Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology. He promised a full accounting but noted that the agency will not disclose any proprietary information.
The IOM report also urged Congress to give the FDA greater and more precise enforcement powers, partly to compel pharmaceutical manufacturers to fulfill their commitments to gather postmarketing data.
Peter Barton Hutt, a former FDA general counsel and now senior counsel with Covington and Burling in Washington said that most companies comply with FDA requests because "industry is terrified of FDA." Mr. Hutt said FDA had all the enforcement power it needed already. He argued that the agency did, however, need more funding outside of the user fees it collects.
FDA critics have said the agency is unduly beholden to industry because of user fees. Former FDA Deputy Commissioner Mary Pendergast noted that those fees were likely to make up 80% of the agency's drug review and safety budget if Congress did not provide additional money for fiscal 2007.
She also noted that as of fiscal 2006, companies had 1,632 pending postmarketing commitments. The number of studies being requested is on the rise, said Ms. Pendergast, noting that the average was 1.5 per approved drug before 2003 and 5 per approved drug in 2003–2004. In the most recent report to Congress (fiscal 2006), 63% of those studies had not been started, she said. The agency needs a better hammer to get those studies done, said Ms. Pendergast.

Q: How to extract - sign from tail and place it before the number I got a .txt file which has sign at the end of the number.
When I tried converting it into numeric, the -ve values are turning into NA as the data is in character format. I even tried, flagging those -ve values and multiplying flagged value by '-1'.
Since I have around 25 such columns. It is getting complicated.
Can anyone suggest me simple way to do this.
Below is the sample data I prepared,
R1 <- c("15515.88-","5156.04","65656","1566.1-")
R2 <- c("515","5156.11-","415-","1455-")
R3 <- c("123.14-","9875-","1247-","778.04-")
df <- data.frame(R1,R2,R3)

My expected output is -ve symbol at the initial,
    R1         R2        R3
-15515.88     515      -123.14
 5156.04     -5156.11  -9875
 65656       -415      -1247
-1566.1      -1455     -778.04

Your kind help is needed

A: In base R you can use lapply to process one column at a time with regex and convert to numeric.
df[] <- lapply(df, function(x) as.numeric(sub("(.+)(-)", "\\2\\1", x)))
df

#          R1       R2       R3
# 1 -15515.88   515.00  -123.14
# 2   5156.04 -5156.11 -9875.00
# 3  65656.00  -415.00 -1247.00
# 4  -1566.10 -1455.00  -778.04

A: One solution in base R would be
df[] <- lapply(df, function(x) {as.numeric(ifelse(grepl("-", x), paste0("-", gsub("-", "", x)), x))})

Basically it works like this: if a - is present, you remove it and add another - at the start of the value, and then you convert the column to numeric.
Output
#          R1       R2       R3
# 1 -15515.88   515.00  -123.14
# 2   5156.04 -5156.11 -9875.00
# 3  65656.00  -415.00 -1247.00
# 4  -1566.10 -1455.00  -778.04

A: rep.format <- function(num){
  ind <- grepl("-", num)
  num[ind] <-  paste0("-", sub("-", "", num[ind]), "")
  num
}

R1 <- c("15515.88-","5156.04","65656","1566.1-")
R2 <- c("515","5156.11-","415-","1455-")
R3 <- c("123.14-","9875-","1247-","778.04-")

df <- data.frame(rep.format(R1),rep.format(R2),rep.format(R3))
df

I hope that this helps!

Houston Rockets 2017 NBA Preview, Draft, Offseason Recap, Depth Chart, Outlook

Houston Rockets 2017 Preview
NBA Title Odds: +900 Click to Get Latest Betting Odds
The Houston Rockets have topped 50 wins in three of the last four seasons and seem to be going for an NBA title in the second year under coach Mike D'Antoni. While there's rumors floating around that Carmelo Anthony will eventually end up in Houston, the Rockets have to like their current roster as is and are one of the few teams that can give the Golden State Warriors a run for their money. Let's take a look at things before August and a possible trade takes place.
Here is your Houston Rockets 2017 NBA preview.
Key Player Losses: The Rockets lost a chunk of their rotation with a trade that sent Lou Williams, Patrick Beverley, Montrezl Harrell and Sam Dekker to the Los Angeles Clippers. Harrell and Dekker are both young players who had their moments in limited playing time, but the loss of Williams and Beverley removes an elite bench scorer and one of the top defensive point guards in the league. While the Rockets may be better off, it's never easy to replace a quarter of a team in one season.
Key Player Additions: The Rockets landed possibly the best pure point guard in basketball in Chris Paul. CP3 is the ultimate floor general, elite defender and is capable of getting buckets when he needs to step up. If managed right, the Rockets will have one of the best passers/creators on the floor at all times when you add James Harden. P.J. Tucker brings toughness off the bench and is an underrated outside shooter while Luc Mbah a Moute is a lengthy defender who is coming off his second-best shooting season of his career. However, the Rockets offseason was all about getting Paul to join forces with Harden in hopes to taking this franchise to another level.
Draft: Isaiah Hartenstein is a legit seven footer who just turned 19 years old and shot 42.5 percent from three in 2015-16 in Germany. There's no clue if Hartenstein will in fact play as a rookie for the Rockets this season and there are concerns about back issues, but there's no doubt he has high upside and could be a steal if everything pans out. After all, the Rockets have some success with international players, right?
Outlook: Right now the Rockets are a legit title contender and those odds increase a little more if they're able to move Trevor Ariza or Ryan Anderson to clear room for Carmelo. The Rockets will always have one of the top point guards in the league on the court at all times and the rest of the team will get tons of open looks. Add Melo and you're talking about a scary trio with an underrated center in Clint Capela cleaning up the middle. The Houston Rockets are building something and aren't hiding the fact they're going for a title as early as this season. It's going to be fun seeing CP3 play with Harden, and with or without Melo, the Rockets are one of a few teams that can give the Warriors a scare.
Playoffs? Yes.

Both a baseball player and a boxer in the family! Good stuff…I'm sure it gives you plenty to write about especially with a wonderful 18 year old son. Time does fly.
I love this! I box too – compete in kickboxing, which I took up with my twin boys to deal with my husband's deployment to the Gulf. Usually baseball takes over our family life with a college player and a Little League player (along with volleyball for our daughter) – but fighting teaches us that we're stronger than we think, and I agree that it clears the head for more creativity.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Where does your college son play ball?
