The Danish 1st Division has been the name of the second highest football league in Denmark since 1991. From 1945 to 1991 the 1st Division was the name of the highest level of football in Denmark. With the formation of the Danish Superliga, the second tier of Danish football became the 1st Division.
While all the teams in the Superliga are full-time professional the 1.division has a mixture of full-time professional and part-time professional teams.
The 2nd Division is the third tier Danish football league, and comprises two divisions, with 16 teams in each, covering the east and west of the country. Below is the fourth tier known as the Denmark Series and comprises 3 divisions. This tier is in turn fed by 5 regional leagues.

November, Month of the Holy Souls.
I once had a conversation with one of my Dominican brothers, the superior of the community to which I was assigned. He remarked that All Saints' Day is an opportunity to remember not only the Church's canonized saints, but also the army of uncanonized holy men and women of our faith.
I am always reluctant to challenge a superior, especially on liturgical matters, but I replied that All Souls' Day is the day to remember the uncanonized. My superior, who considered himself something of a liturgist, was not pleased by my response, but I observed that All Saints' Day hailed back to the early days of the Church, when St. Boniface IV (Pope from 608 to 615) chose November 1 as the occasion to honor, on one day, all the saints whose individual celebrations had been ignored or slighted throughout the year.
And All Souls' Day? Theologians can write volumes about what we believe, but the articles of our faith – what we believe in – are usually expressed pretty succinctly. The Creed is one good example, and what the Church teaches about Purgatory is another. I'm sure we all have an idea what Purgatory is like, and I suspect many of these images come from Dante; our imaginations have provided the rest – pictures vivid enough if not to scare us into being good, then certainly scary enough to frighten us into being careful.
As a preacher, I wouldn't dream of contradicting anyone's cherished childhood beliefs, but as grown-ups we may be interested to learn that the Church has this to say about Purgatory
The souls of the just which, in the moment of death, are burdened with venial sins or the temporal punishment due to sins, enter Purgatory.
The twenty-five words of this statement are as remarkable for what they do not say as they are for what they proclaim. All the Church says is that God provides a means by which those not altogether prepared for His Kingdom will be purified so they may worthily enter heaven.
Purgatory is not a second chance; it is the next-to-final step in a life-long journey that leads to God. Our faith tells us a grace is appropriate for each step of this journey, and Purgatory is the fulfillment of Jesus' promise that he will be present at our last step with the same love that greeted our first. Purgatory is a challenge and an invitation to embrace the virtue of Hope, which allows us to live in the present "as if" we were already enjoying something we look forward to in the future.
Necessity forces us to say good‑bye when death intervenes, but God wills that nothing be lost. Throughout November, the Month of the Holy Souls, when we remember our beloved relatives and friends who have died, we claim our connection with them in the communion of God's saints, and we acknowledge their – and our – power to do good for one another. Even after death.
May Mary, the Most Holy Virgin of Philermo,
Comfort of the Afflicted and Mother of Mercy,
be our companion during this holy month.

Wallace Beery's Customized Retreat Hits Market
Published at 12:59 am on November 8, 2011
The late Academy Award winner Wallace Beery made a name for himself in Min and Bill, Treasure Island, and Viva Villa!. In the 1930s, the prolific actor was apparently at the movie studios so often that he commissioned local architect William Kesling to create a home close to the studio so he had a place to go during filming. The custom-made, updated home is now on the market for $899,000. View the listing.
The late actor's home is located at 947 North Martel Avenue, and its price has been reduced numerous times since it was first listed in July for $1.075 million.
According to the LA Times, the "Streamline Moderne design, with exterior horizontal 'speed lines' and wing-like pergola gates, reflects Beery's love of aircraft and flying."
There are three bedrooms in the late actor's abode.
Beery appeared in more than 230 films, so it makes sense why the Oscar winner would want a custom-built home close to the movie studios.
TV producer Michael Taylor, the current owner of Beery's former spread, renovated the house by introducing eco-friendly plantings, a rear patio, a Koi pond, and walking paths, reports the LA Times.
A look at the outdoor entertainment space. Taylor also modernized the home by adding central air-conditioning, repurposed the fireplace to run on gas, and installed a tankless water heater.
A unique tiled fountain graces the courtyard of the home.

The galley style kitchen features black and red tiled countertops.

Q: Escaping strings in kotlin to run my os command So here is a bit of a tricky one.
I've just finished writing myself my first Kotlin script to execute some os commands for me and it works on a basic command.
val command = "kubectl get pods"
println(command)
execLocal(command)

    fun execLocal(command: String): String {
        try {
            val commands = ArrayList<String>()
            commands.add("powershell.exe")
            commands.add("-Command")
            commands.add(command)

            val pb = ProcessBuilder(commands)

            println("Running: " + pb.command())

            val process = pb.start()
            val result = collectOutput(process.inputStream)

            if (process.waitFor() != 0) {
                println("Failed to execute command: " + pb.command())
                println("Result: " + result)
                val error = collectOutput(process.errorStream)
                println("Error: " + error)
                throw RuntimeException()
            } else {
                println("stdout: " + result)
            }
            return result
        } catch (e: IOException) {
            throw RuntimeException(e)
        } catch (e: InterruptedException) {
            throw RuntimeException(e)
        }
    }

    fun collectOutput(inputStream: InputStream): String {
        val out = StringBuilder()
        val buf: BufferedReader = inputStream.bufferedReader(UTF_8)
        var line: String? = buf.readLine()
        do {
            if (line != null) {
                out.append(line).append("\n")
            }
            line = buf.readLine()
        } while (line != null)
        return out.toString()
    }

I have a problem in the snippet above when i change the first line to:
val command = "kubectl get pods -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.spec.containers[].image}{\\\"\\n\\\"}{end}'"

What gets printed as part of line two is:
kubectl get pods -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.spec.containers[].image}{\"\n\"}{end}'

When i take that string and run it on the command line it works exactly how i want it to but from the kotlin code i get an error.
Error: error: error parsing jsonpath {range .items[*]}{.spec.containers[].image}{\n}{end}, unrecognized character in action: U+005C '\'

There is a difference between how kotlin is executing my code and the behaviour if i execute myself as a command which I'm hoping you experts might be able to help me solve.
thanks

A: It seems that you need a raw String. In Kotlin it is delimited by a triple quote ("""), contains no escaping and can contain newlines and any other characters. This means you can do something as follows:
val command = """kubectl get pods -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.spec.containers[].image}{
    |}{end}'""".trimMargin()

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY – 02/06/15
June 2nd, 2015 | Posted by Singh in Thought for the day - (0 Comments)
The weekend news of 17 bodies being pulled out of the Mediterranean and the rescue of more than 4000 people in just 3 days, reminds us of the unbelievable suffering in the Middle East. Refugees, from brutal rule in Libya, Syria and Iraq are continuing to take their chance in leaky boats to escape further persecution. Their plight is mirrored by that of the Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, starving and adrift in ships for months on end, because no one will give them sanctuary.
A common feature of such tragedies is the manipulation of religious sentiment to further political power, with selective quotation of religious texts written hundreds of years ago being used to justify brutal behaviour. Paradoxically, similar selective quotation is used to argue that religions teach only peace.
Most religions suffer this problem of selective quotation to justify different views. Sikhism is a comparatively new religion with the founder, Guru Nanak born in 1469. The teachings of the Gurus were couched in lasting ethical principles and were recorded in their lifetime. Sikhs were asked to follow only these recorded teachings. Despite this clarity, we still suffer from selective quotation on emotive issues such as meat eating, and more worryingly, in attempts to introduce new teachings which many Sikhs feel to be of dubious authenticity.
Today, religious leaders now have the additional task of disentangling advice, given to meet the particular social or political climate of several centuries ago, from more lasting and timeless ethical teachings.
As a line from a favourite hymn reminds us:
New occasions teach new duties; time makes ancient good uncouth
They must upward, still and onward who will keep abreast with truth.
It is a line that resonates with the Sikh belief that our religious labels, or membership of different sects count for nothing in the eyes of the one God of us all. It's what we do to counter poverty and work for peace and justice that really counts.
The challenge is not easy, but it is essential in our need to ensure that religion is what the founders of our different faiths intended it to be, guidance for responsible living, and the cure rather than the cause of conflict.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY – 18/3/15
March 18th, 2015 | Posted by Singh in Thought for the day - (0 Comments)
Yesterday, a Department of Health taskforce published a report recommending sweeping changes in the funding and operation of mental health provision for children and adolescents. The report follows a series of Times articles on a growing epidemic of mental health problems in children and adolescents resulting in a huge rise in children resorting to self-harm and exhibiting symptoms of anxiety and depression in schools.
Many are seeking treatment for mental health problems in hospitals, or worse ending up in prisons. In one of these articles, the columnist Libby Purves highlights the urgent need for parents, to re-set their priorities and recognise the ground realities of pressures on their children.
Her comments reminded me of a story of Guru Nanak meeting with a group of people in a mountain retreat searching for an understanding of God. They greeted the Guru with the words ' how goes the world below' the Guru was not impressed and told the group that God was not to be found in the wilderness but in the service of family and wider society.
Today there's not much wilderness left for retreat – selfish or otherwise – but it is all too easy to spend all our time on personal pursuits or lose, ourselves in the virtual wilderness of the internet to the neglect of those around. Worse, in the absence of comfort and support from parents, children may look to friendship, love and support on internet chat lines oblivious to the dangers of grooming, blackmail and the hurt that can be caused by on-line bullying.
While yesterday's promise of enhanced provision will help, Sikh teachings and those of sister faiths suggest that the real remedy lies in the home.
Reflecting on parental responsibility, Guru Nanak reminded us that the birth of a child comes with an attached responsibility for the child's care and comfort that continues even if parents split. It is the family rather than on the internet that children should share both triumphs and concerns and receive time consuming but necessary encouragement and support. Today, obsession with personal fulfilment has replaced a search for God. Our different faiths remind us that both personal fulfilment and God can be found in looking beyond ourselves to the care and support of those around us.
Lord Singh, Thought For The Day
At the start of the Millennium, some of us from different faiths met in Lambeth Palace to reflect on the record of the 20th century in which more people were killed as a result of war than in the rest of recorded history. Not knowing the horrors of the conflicts that lay ahead, we resolved that people of all faiths should adhere to common values and we set out to establish what those should be. After a series of meetings we published a grandly titled document 'Common Values for the New Millennium'. The list included looking to the needs of others, considering responsibilities as well as rights and understanding and respecting diversity.
We thought we had formulated a Holy Grail to lasting peace and social justice. But after a short burst of publicity, the document was soon forgotten. On reflection perhaps we were being simplistic and naive. As Sikh scriptures reminds us, we can't effect change by simply wishing it.
A few years later, I attended another meeting in the very same room in Lambeth Palace to hear a lecture by a visiting American Preacher on working for lasting peace. He declared 'what we need are common values', and now a high powered Commission is engaged on yet another extensive consultation exercise to define British values.
All the values in the Lambeth list are found in Sikh teachings and are also evident in other faiths. The real problem is how to embed these in the fabric of a society that looks to individual fulfilment rather than the needs of society as a whole. How can we walk the talk, or as Sikhs put it, how can we move in a gurmukh or Godly direction. Not easy. A colleague in the Lords reminded me of this when he stated in a debate that religion was out of step with society. To me it was a bit like saying 'my satnav isn't following my directions'.
Sikh teachings on the need for cooperation between different faiths suggest that if we synchronise our ethical satnavs, we can begin to make a real difference. Perhaps the first step would be to recognise that despite following different road maps, in reality, we all share common aspirations and concerns, and resolve to work together to make these central to social and political action.

Last week we were celebrating the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall; a physical structure designed to keep the people of Eastern Europe isolated from the freedom and democratic values of the West.
This week is inter-faith week; a week in which we question equally divisive, barriers of belief between religions. Barriers built on claims of exclusivity and superiority seen in the use of language to denigrate those of other beliefs or ways of life. Today, we are all too aware of the way in which words can be used to promote active hatred and the mindless killing of thousands of innocents, as seen in the Middle East and many other parts of our world.
In the past, talking about distant religions in a disparaging way, though wrong, was fairly harmless and gave us a perverse sense of unity based on the superiority of our way of life over that of others. Today such thinking is food and sustenance for the fanatic. In our smaller and interdependent world, recognising that, that we are all equal members of one human family has now become an imperative.
Sikh teachings remind us that our different religions are different paths to responsible living and must all be respected. Religious teachings are not mutually exclusive and frequently merge in shared truths and a heightened understanding of our own faith
A popular Christian hymn states:
To all life Thou givest; to both great and small
In all life Thou livest the true life of all
The lines have a striking parallel in Sikh scriptures
There is an inner light in all
And that light is God
The Sikh Gurus frequently used parallel teachings in different faiths to emphasise important commonalities and shared values.
Today religion finds itself confined to the margin of society as a cause rather than a cure for hatred and violence. We see this in governments focussing huge resources on programmes to combat religious extremism. And yet…… if religions work together to live common core teachings of right, wrong and responsibility, who knows? Instead of programmes like 'Prevent', we might even have government programmes called 'Enable' to embed these values in daily living as the founders of our faiths intended. Not easy, but events like inter-faith week are at least a step in the right direction.

Today, Sikhs celebrate the birthday of Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh faith. The Guru was concerned at the way different religions in his day, seemed to be more intent on rubbishing the beliefs of sister faiths than in living the values taught by their own.
In his very first sermon he taught that in God's eyes there was neither Hindu nor Muslim, and by today's extension, neither Christian, Sikh nor Jew. That the one God of us all is not interested in our different religious labels, but in how we live and what we do for our fellow beings.
With a Hindu and Muslim companion the Guru travelled the length and breadth of India, and to Sri Lanka, Tibet and to the Middle East preaching the importance of religious tolerance and a recognition of the equality of all human beings.
Guru Nanak was particularly concerned about the plight of women on the subcontinent who, as in much of the world, were treated as inferior beings. He taught that women should be given full equality with men, not simply as the wives or daughters of men, but as individuals in their own right, playing a full part in society.
Unfortunately, as we are daily reminded in the news, deep rooted cultural practices often tend to blur or subvert the teachings of religion which challenge unthinking attitudes and behaviour. I was vividly reminded of this while working as a young mining engineer in a remote area of Bengal, I had just received news that my wife had given birth to our first child, a daughter. I was over the moon and excitedly rushed to the house next door, that of a Sikh and told him the wonderful news. Contrary to clear Sikh teachings, his culturally conditioned response was 'never mind, it will be boy next time!' I was not then the gentle, easy going soul that I like to think I am today, and it took great restraint not to clock him one!
Today, as we celebrate the birthday of Guru Nanak, we should all resolve to do as he did and continually challenge all forms of unjust or oppressive which often masquerades as religion, and instead focus on true religious teachings of respect for and service to all members of our one human family.

Sikhs are often described as a martial race. Two things wrong with that. First, Sikhism is a religion open to all, and one of its basic teachings is that we all belong to the same, one human race. Nor are we particularly martial, and our Guru's teaching on responding to personal affront is, (I hope metaphorically), 'to kiss the feet of those who would do you harm'.
At the same time Sikhs are duty bound to stand up to injustice against the weak and vulnerable and if necessary and as a last resort, by the force of arms. Unfortunately, in a short history of constant persecution, we've had plenty of practice.
I was reminded of this last Friday when I attended an impressive function at the Royal Military College Sandhurst to commemorate Saraghari Day. On September 12th, 1897, 21 brave Sikhs holed up in a small brick and mud fort at Saraghari on the North West Frontier of India, held back an army of some 10,000 marauding and pillaging tribesmen, for nearly a day to give valuable time for their colleagues to regroup. Eventually they were all killed, but the thought of surrender never entered their minds. Their courage received a rare standing ovation in the British parliament and their achievement has been recognised by UNESCO as one of eight most inspiring stories of collective bravery in human history.
I saw more modern examples of uplifting courage in a visit to the Invictus Games, the brain child of Prince Harry. In the Games, wounded soldiers show how despite appalling injuries, they can still laugh, joke and compete in athletic activities. The Games, take their name from Henley's poem Invictus, which reminds us that however difficult or unfair life may appear, we should never give up. It ends with the immortal lines:
It matter not how straight the gate; how charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate; the captain of my soul.
I saw limbless blade runners, one with severe burns to his face, and others racing in wheelchairs enthusiastically embracing life. They and the brave soldiers of Saragarhi remind us of the importance of courage and commitment. Courage that refuses to accept the bludgeoning's of chance, and helps put all our petty aches and pains, and grumblings about the unfairness of life, into true perspective.
Media hype over this week's launch of the latest smart phone and the million ways way it will help us connect to everyone and everything, leaves me a little cold. I'm a bit wary about sophisticated gadgetry telling us what to do with our lives. Admittedly I'm a bit of a Luddite about mobile phones, the social media and the internet. I envy those with the speed and dexterity of Madame Defarge who clicked away on her knitting needles while watching the guillotine in action I can't cope with lengthy texts demanding instant replies. My granddaughter recently said she would send me an email because 'you can't text'. Determined to prove her wrong I slowly and ponderously wrote a text message signed 'master texter'- and then, inadvertently sent it to her puzzled aunt.
My relationship with the internet lurches between love and hate. I can't get over the power of the internet that gives near instant access to detailed information on the vaguest of topics—that is, when it works! At the moment we have lost our wi- fi and have only intermittent internet access due to a fault on the line. We've all had similar experiences.
My real concern is that it is all too easy to get hooked on such gadgetry in a way that takes us away from due attention to those around us. Guru Nanak too was concerned about the way people often neglected their responsibilities for more selfish pursuits. In his day, some people would leave their families and friend to go to the wilderness in search of God. The Guru once met some of these people on a mountain and they greeted him asking how the world below goes? He replied, the world is suffering and how could it be otherwise when those with knowledge and wisdom, desert it in a selfish way. God cannot be found in the wilderness but in the service of your family and fellow beings.
Today there isn't much wilderness left, but it is all too easy to drift into a virtual wilderness in pursuit of virtual friendships to the neglect of real people around us. I am reminded of the poet's words:
'We flatter those we scarcely know, and rush to please the fleeting guest, but heap many a thoughtless blow on those who love us best. Now there's a 'Thought for the Day' -in less than 140 characters!
November 30th, 2013 | Posted by Pritpal in Thought for the day - (0 Comments)
Over the last few days Sikhs have been celebrating the festival of Bandi Chhor, lierally the 'release of captives'. Bandi Chhor coincides with the Hindu festival of Diwali and is linked to an incident in the reign of the Mughal Emperor Janghir who lived in the early 17th century.
By all accounts Janghir was both intolerant and cruel. Even before he became Emperor, he tried to seize the throne from his tolerant and popular father Akbar. Janghir, wary of those who might oppose his rule, arrested the sixth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Hargobind, and a number of others and imprisoned them in Gwalior Fort.
But even the worst of us likes to be liked, and as the festival of Diwali approached he ordered the release of Guru Hargobind. To his surprise, the Guru refused to leave unless all other political prisoners were released at the same time.
Janghir decided to compromise and said that anyone who could hold onto the Gurus clothes could also go with him. He thought that at the most, two or three of his fellow prisoners would be able to go with the Guru through the fort's narrow passage to freedom. In the event the Guru walked to freedom followed by all the 52 political prisoners holding onto tassels of varying length that had been sewn onto the Guru's cloak. He reached Amritsar just as people were celebrating Diwali which Sikhs, like Hindus now celebrate with lights and fireworks.
The story reminds Sikhs to put the wellbeing of others before our own; in this case the freedom and human rights of the Guru's fellow captives. This concern for others is echoed in another story of a Sikh water carrier who was dragged before the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, accused of supplying water to enemy wounded. The Guru asked him what he had to say for himself, and water carrier replied that he saw neither enemy nor friend but suffering fellow beings. The Guru applauded his reply and gave him ointment and bandages to further his humanitarian work; work that we see today in the activities of many religious and secular humanitarian organisations, who often in great danger to their own lives, work to help others. Bandi Chhor is a useful reminder to the rest of us to make concern for others part of our daily lives.
Last week, I was invited to my old school, Bishop Vesey's Grammar School in Sutton Coldfield to give a talk on the a Sikh view on justice and human rights. In touring the school, I found this concern for human rights reflected in the very ethos of the school. It was very different from the one I knew in the late 40's and early 50s, when the four Singh brothers were the only ones in the school who looked different.
Today in a very different world, about a third of the pupils are of minority ethnic origin. Respect for different cultures and concern for justice was seen in the many posters on the school walls, including the work of human rights organisations, and moving comments on a visit to Auschwitz. At the founder's day service at which I spoke, as well as Christian hymns, there was also readings from the Guru Granth Sahib and the Koran. There is much to be proud about in the way we have adjusted to new cultures and different ways of life and I believe that that in this we lead much of the rest of the world.
One thing that has not changed however over the years, is the tendency of children to form their own groups or little gangs which sometimes gain added cohesion by looking down on or excluding others. Sadly religions and cultures all too often behave in the same way, exaggerating difference and emphasising exclusivity
The Sikh Gurus were very concerned about such claims and taught the importance of focussing on commonalities. Guru Nanak taught that the one God of us all was not interested in what we call ourselves but in what we do for our fellow beings. Guru Arjan gave practical utterance to the Sikh belief that no one religion has a monopoly of truth by including Hindu and Muslim verses in our holy scriptures: the Guru Granth Sahib.
Good academic results are important in schools, but due emphasis should also be placed on ensuring that pupils go out to the world with a sense of responsibility and care and compassion for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. It was encouraging to find my old school weaving this wider view of education into all they do.
A couple of days ago I attended a Ministry of Justice meeting looking at ways of ensuring greater equality in the criminal justice system. We were given some impressive looking statistics on hate crime and the negative treatment of minority faiths. Muslims, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists were all covered, but when I inquired why there was no mention of Sikhs, I was told that the figures were based on complaints received and Sikhs rarely bothered to complain. At the time I thought this was simply an excuse for a flawed survey, but on reflection there's some truth in what was said.
The Sikh Gurus taught that we should treat adversity as a new challenge. It's an attitude of mind that has certainly come in handy over the years but it is not a valid excuse for a failure to highlight negative attitudes to Sikhs, which, from personal experience, have certainly increased since 9/11 with, some people in this country and abroad assuming turbaned Sikhs to be Muslim extremists.
When we went on to look at future policies, it was agreed that the key lay in much greater education, particularly in early schooling. Much has been said in recent days about free faith schools which fail to respect the culture of others. As a Sikh I believe that any school, free or otherwise that fails to teach an understanding of and respect for other ways of life, is a failing school and should be treated as such
Ignorance is a bit like a fog in which, like everyday objects, people from different cultures can appear frightening and menacing. Prejudice thrives on such ignorance and is difficult to remove once it becomes engrained in everyday attitudes and behaviour, making short superficial induction courses less likely to succeed.
But the responsibility for moving us to a fairer society does not just lie simply with government and bodies like the Ministry of Justice;
in the Sikh view, religions too have a real responsibility to work to remove self-created barriers of superiority, difference and exclusivity which add to suspicion and distrust at home and horrendous conflict abroad. As Guru Nanak taught, we all need to work together for greater fairness and true social justice for all members of our human family.


The hardest part of writing is the first sentence. When you look at the whole project, it seems like an impossible task. That's why you have to break it down into manageable tasks. Think of climbing a mountain. You are standing at the foot of it and looking up at its summit vanishing into the clouds. How can you possibly scale such an immense and dangerous mountain? There is only one way to climb a mountain ? step by step. Now think of writing your ebook in the same light. You must create it step by step, and one day, you will take that last step and find yourself standing on the summit with your head in the clouds.
The first thing you have to do, as if you actually were a mountain climber, is to get organized. Instead of climbing gear, however, you must organize your thoughts. There are some steps you should take before you begin. Once you've gone through the following list, you will be ready to actually begin writing your ebook.
First, figure out your ebook's working title. Jot down a few different titles, and eventually, you'll find that one that will grow on you. Titles help you to focus your writing on your topic; they guide you in anticipating and answering your reader's queries. Many nonfiction books also have subtitles. Aim for clarity in your titles, but cleverness always helps to sell books ? as long as it's not too cute. For example, Remedies for Insomnia: twenty different ways to count sheep. Or: Get off that couch: fifteen exercise plans to whip you into shape.
Next, write out a thesis statement. Your thesis is a sentence or two stating exactly what problem you are addressing and how your book will solve that problem. All chapters spring forth from your thesis statement. Once you've got your thesis statement fine-tuned, you've built your foundation. From that foundation, your book will grow, chapter by chapter. Your thesis will keep you focused while you write your ebook. Remember: all chapters must support your thesis statement. If they don't, they don't belong in your book. For example, your thesis statement could read: We've all experienced insomnia at times in our lives, but there are twenty proven techniques and methods to give you back a good night's sleep.
Once you have your thesis, before you start to write, make sure there is a good reason to write your book.
Will you book positively affect the lives of your readers? * Is your book dynamic and will it keep the reader's attention?
Another important step is to figure out who your target audience is. It is this group of people you will be writing to, and this group will dictate many elements of your book, such as style, tone, diction, and even length. Figure out the age range of your readers, their general gender, what they are most interested in, and even the socioeconomic group they primarily come from. Are they people who read fashion magazines or book reviews? Do they write letters in longhand or spend hours every day online. The more you can pin down your target audience, the easier it will be to write your book for them.
Next, make a list of the reasons you are writing your ebook. Do you want to promote your business? Do you want to bring quality traffic to your website? Do you want to enhance your reputation? Then write down your goals in terms of publishing. Do you want to sell it as a product on your website, or do you want to offer it as a free gift for filling out a survey or for ordering a product? Do you want to use the chapters to create an e-course, or use your ebook to attract affiliates around the world? The more you know up-front, the easier the actual writing will be.
Decide on the format of your chapters. In nonfiction, keep the format from chapter to chapter fairly consistent. Perhaps you plan to use an introduction to your chapter topic, and then divide it into four subhead topics. Or you may plan to divide it into five parts, each one beginning with a relevant anecdote.
Write with a casual, conversational tone rather than a formal tone such as in a textbook. Reader's respond to the feeling that you are having a conversation with them. Break up the length and structure of your sentences so you don't hypnotize your readers into sleep. Sentences that are all the same length and structure tend to be a good aid for insomnia!
In an ebook that is read on the screen, be aware that you must give your reader's eye a break. You can do this by utilizing white space. In art classes, white space is usually referred to as "negative space." Reader's eyes need to rest in the cool white oasis you create on your page. If your page is too dense, your reader will quit out of it as soon as their eyes begin to tear.
Finally, decide on an easy-to-read design. Find a font that's easy on the eyes, and stick to that font family. Using dozens of fonts will only tire your readers out before they've gotten past your introduction.
Use at least one and a half line spacing, and text large enough to be read easily on the screen, but small enough so that the whole page can be seen on a computer screen. You will have to experiment with this to find the right combination. Of course, don't forget to run a spell and grammar check. You are judged by something as minor as correct punctuation, so don't mess up a great book by tossing out semicolons randomly, or stringing sentences together with commas. (By the way, that's called a "comma splice.") Last of all, create an index and a bibliography. That's it! You've written a book! Now all you have to do is publish your ebook online, and wait for download request from your website visitors.
Good writing takes practice. It takes lots and lots of practice. Make a schedule to write at least a page a day. Read books and magazines about the process of writing, and jot down tips that jump out at you. The art of writing is a lifetime process; the more you write (and read), the better your writing will become and the better your writing becomes, the bigger your sales figures.

Hull's clever sparks put their business brawn to the test as Young Enterprise competition returns
The initiative encourages youngsters to get involved in business
Alex GroveSenior reporter
Over 300 clever kids from across Hull will put their brains and business skills to the test as part of an exciting programme built to create budding entrepreneurs.
The Young Enterprise competition returns this year with children from 23 schools and colleges across Hull set to battle it out at the county final on May 17 at the Hallmark Hotel in North Ferriby.
The youngsters, who are aged between 14 and 18, have formed teams and come up with original and quirky ideas which they will pitch to a panel of judges.
These range from "the snail," a device which lets you wrap up your earphones to stop them getting tangled, to wooden coasters, shabby chic decorative items and bracelets made out of parachute cords.
The competition attracts over 300 schoolkids from Hull
The participants elect their own "board of directors" within each group and even have the power to fire those who are not pulling their weight.
Over the past few months, the pupils have been showing off their products at trade fairs but they will be keen to impress the judges in less than a month's time at the county final.
Jill Tinsley, North East and Yorkshire and Humber regional manager, said: "It's very much their own business.
"They make their own decisions and they keep any profits they make.
"They go from not having potentially any confidence and not daring to say anything to going up to present or speak to the judges about their product.
The youngsters will have to sell their product to a panel of judges
"You see a massive turnaround and it's amazing to see them grow in confidence, communication and resilience.
"It's linked to key employability skills and you see a real rise in aspirations.
"For someone at the start who was not particularly academic, suddenly because of this competition they have a reason to go to school and it opens up jobs to them which may interest them in the future."

Lucy Gray, area manager for North and South Humber, has been amazed by the journey some of the pupils take by being a part of the initiative.
She said: "It opens their eyes to make them believe that they are capable of achieving things and that they can do this.
The regional final will be on The Pride of Hull ferry
"I've seen groups grow from being at their wits end which their education to saying 'this is the best thing I have ever done.'
"They say that they've really enjoyed it and want to run their own business later in life."

To help the scheme run smoothly, the Young Enterprise charity relies on donations and volunteers.
This year, they've had a host of Hull businesses sponsor prizes. These include Hudgells, KCOM and St Stephen's Shopping Centre among many others.
The Young Enterprise scheme has been running for decades
Mrs Tinsley said: "We want to thank everyone who supports us because without we would not have the success we have in Hull or across Yorkshire and the Humber.
"Thanks goes out to people who volunteer and give their time but also to people who give up their office space and boardrooms for the children.
"The support we receive is fantastic and we would not be able to do it without that."

Public utility providers propose adjustments in tariffs
By Admin Editor January 10, 2019 133 No comment
Public utility providers in the Northern Region have proposed to the Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) for an upward adjustment in tariffs to enhance their revenue generation.
The providers explained that, the reduction in utility tariffs as at 2018 had negatively affected their revenue generation and quality of service provision to customers in the region.
They made the proposal during a public forum organised by the PURC in Tamale aimed at creating stakeholder consultation platform for utility service providers to present an upward adjustment proposal on electricity and water tariffs for the 2019-2023 tariff period.
Mr Kofi Owiredu Ntow, Manager, Marketing Operations for the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) said the pronouncement by GRIDCo for an upward adjustment in utility tariffs was to ensure the company's long term business sustainability.
He said the company's inability to complete projects including; the Aboadze 330kV substation expansion, the 330kV Kumasi-Kintampo-Tamale-Bolgatanga line had increased the company's cost of transmission in the region.
"The completion of those projects will significantly cut down transmission losses to provide adequate power transfer capability to benefit the citizenry; but we are challenged in their completion as a result of finance.
"We therefore call on the PURC to give us cost reflective tariffs to improve transmission in the country to the benefit of Ghanaians", he said.
Mr Kofi Maxwell Kotoka, Manager, Corperate Communication Officer at the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) said an upward review would relatively upsurge the Distribution Service Charge (DSC) pegged at GH¢0.307555/kWh in 2018 to GH¢0.430526/kWh to finance its operations in 2019.
He said an upsurge in the DSC would also help the company to service the cost of materials and equipment, make significant investment on infrastructure as well as the needed resources to ensure quality services.
Mr Yakubu Iddrrisu, the East Mamprusi District Manager of the Zoomlion Company said the reduction in utility tariffs as at 2018 had not really helped in addressing the plight of the citizenry as costumers still paid higher cost of utilities from service providers.
He urged service providers to improve on the quality of services, while adapting to the use of appropriate strategies in the collection of utility bills, to increase their revenue base rather than requesting for an upward adjustment.
Mr Abdul-Razak Isshaku, a teacher indicated that, it was unnecessary on the part of the service providers to propose for an adjustment in utility tariffs, quizzing that "how long has it been since the government announced the 2018 reduction on tariffs".
He said it was therefore mind-boggling why the service providers would subsequently demand upward adjustment in tariffs saying, "There should be consultation between government and the service providers to ensure certainty".
Participants included; GRIDCo, NEDCo, Electricity Company of Ghana Limited (ECG), Power Distribution Services Limited (PDS), Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) and Enclave Power Company Limited (EPC) as well as some members of the public.

The Brief History of BRINK
This is where the real work began. A dilapidated barn just north of Chicksands Bike Park near Bedford. It took a long time to even get to this point. About 18 months of solid planning on top of many years of dreaming. From this point on we were fully committed. We had some ideals in mind, some priorities, as for the details, we pretty much made it up as we went.
It's one of the luxuries afforded you when doing the work yourself. There was no set schedule, we just picked up some tools and started with the idea that we would open once it was done. Fitting in 16 hour days around the constraints of our current realities, it was a long hard summer. All the while in the background, phone calls, emails, meetings, form filling.
We had a couple of visits early on by reps from Orange and Silverfish. They walked into the chaos that was at the time and 'got it' right away. A big confidence boost. Something for which we'll be forever grateful.
In mid October 2015 we quietly opened the doors and after a couple of weeks of pretending we knew what we were doing finding our feet we threw a party. The turnout was way beyond anything we could have imagined. The instant support of the locals cemented everything we had worked so hard for.
So, here we are. It's said that time flies when you're having fun. The last year seems to have gone in the blink of an eye. We've had such amazing support from our brands, friends, family, most of all from our customers. It never ceases to amaze us that so many of you are willing to place your trust in us. We're eternally grateful and will continue to give you our very best in return every single day. Thank you for being a part of our dream.
There is a whole lot more to come...

How widespread is Turkish support for increased aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh?
By Mercedes Fogarassy
As regional and global superpowers express alarm at the rapidly evolving conflict in the autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh (also known as the Republic of Artsakh), Turkey's Erdoğan manifests significant influence on the extent of bloodshed and destruction that will ensue.
To gauge the potential risk of more bellicose Turkish manoeuvres, RIWI conducted a rapid-response assessment in Turkey from October 8-13, 2020. RIWI randomly engaged over 3,000 respondents in Turkey from diverse backgrounds and across all regions of the country on questions related to the recent escalation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and on general perceptions of Erdoğan and of the United States' position in the world today. The risk we foresee is Erdoğan leveraging this growing support among citizens for military action – amid a perceived weakening of US influence in the world – in order to justify his expansionist militancy toward Armenia, and, in turn, raise even more support for his aggression. We report a few top-level findings from the data set in this brief.
There is extremely high support for Turkey to continue supporting Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh (85% of respondents say support should stay the same or increase), a widely-held belief across various demographic segmentations including age, gender, ethnicity and education. Further, 55% of respondents believe Armenia is responsible for the recent escalation in conflict in the contested region. These findings reaffirm the notion of deep-seated tension between Turkey and Armenia that continues to transcend generations, and holds throughout the country regardless of ethnicity, gender, or educational attainment.
Nearly half of respondents believe the United States' global position is getting weaker. This view of the US as a receding global power potentially gives Erdoğan space to stoke the conflict, not only with the support of the Turkish population, but also without fear of reprisal from the United States. Erdoğan's militant stance toward Armenia appears to be rising despite US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent condemnation of the targeting of civilians in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Misinformation and disinformation are rampant in Turkey's information ecosystem, and while citizens are aware of this, the majority of people approve of Erdoğan's handling of his job as President. Sixty-one percent of respondents, and 64 percent of self-identified ethnic Turks, express approval for Erdoğan. Notably, fifty-nine percent of Kurdish respondents also approve of Erdoğan, even as he conducts operations to quash self-determination efforts outside Turkish borders. While the level of support for Erdoğan may be surprising given the well-known and widely-held sentiment of distrust in traditional information sources inside Turkey, the data may be illustrative of Erdoğan's tactical use of a brand of authoritarian populism to reinforce narratives that resonate with large portions of the Turkish population.

Mercedes Fogarassy leads RIWI's business and program development in the international development and humanitarian space, developing creative solutions and applications of RIWI's innovative technology for various clients seeking accurate, ethical, and timely data in response to the world's most pressing crises – such as food insecurity, corruption, forced labor, violence against women and girls, and online hate and extremism in all parts of the world. She advises on best practices related to ethical data collection in hard-to-reach environments to ensure safe, secure, and meaningful data-based solutions.
About our Methodology
RIWI gathered these data using a robust and unique technology that engages the broadest possible swath of the Turkish population in real-time – Random Domain Intercept Technology (RDIT). RDIT draws randomly from the entire Web-using population in any region of interest on a continuous, 24/7 basis. Unlike traditional or online survey approaches, the technology's algorithms ensure that anyone on the Web in the region of interest has an equal chance of being randomly exposed to the questions. Also, unlike government and private sector surveys, all data are gathered anonymously, reducing social desirability bias and eliminating a potential barrier to participation. Further, respondents are not incentivized to participate in any way – in order to adhere to data anonymity and to increase data quality, especially when measuring topics that may be seen as controversial.
We randomly engage a new set of unique respondents each day, with no repeat respondents throughout the period. Results were consistent across the most recent data collection period, despite a unique set of fresh respondents each day.
The questions asked are as follows:
Q0: What is your age and gender?
Q1: Should Turkey support Azerbaijan more or less in the current Nagorno-Karabakh conflict?
A lot more
A little less
A lot less
Q2: How do you view the United States' position in the world today?
Getting weaker
Getting stronger
Staying the same
Q3: Overall, do you approve or disapprove of the way President Erdoğan is handling his job as president?
Q4: Who is most responsible for the recent escalation in the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh?
Q5: Should Armenia withdraw from Nagorno-Karabakh?
Q6: Why is Turkey supporting Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict?
Access to natural resources (for example, oil)
Historic rights
Defence against Armenia
Q7: What ethnicity are you?
Other → see question Q7b
Q7b: Specifically, what ethnicity are you? [only shown if Q7 = other]
Circassian
Q8: What is the highest level of education you have completed?
Less than primary
Post-secondary vocational training
Master's degree or higher

City approves squad car purchase
Erich Murphy
emurphy@pontiacdailyleader.com
CHENOA — What was put on the agenda for simple discussion became an action item when a Chenoa City Council commissioner posed the question regarding the purchase of a new squad car for the police department.
Commissioner Lee Reinhart posed the question of purchasing a vehicle after discussion was thought to have ended. He said that if the city has the money already earmarked and available, why wait for the next council meeting to make the approval?
Mayor Chris Wilder placed discussing the purchase of a police squad car on the agenda to get the ball rolling on making a purchase. He said the Chenoa Police Department is typically a four-squad fleet and the idea was to replace one every year.
He also pointed out that finances and other factors, including the wreck of a vehicle, have played a part in the fleet's situation, but something needs to be done sooner rather than later.
"I know spending money is a very sore subject at times, but equipment needs to be kept up with and maintained," Wilder said. "Looking over the past few years, our maintenance cost on the squad cars to keep them longer has gone up by almost double the last two years, and the year before that it went up nearly double from the year before."
Wilder said that three vehicles currently have between 140,000 and 170,000 miles, and one is wrecked.
He also pointed out that three line items in the budget are specifically earmarked for the police, and the money there is currently at $42,000. Because of his research in costs for a new squad, Wilder said that the city could purchase one right now without getting a loan.
The research showed that a Ford, which the city has had and been happy with for years, is much more expensive than going to a Dodge Charger. The Dodge vehicles are becoming popular with policing agencies.
Wilder said he priced the Dodge at $28,200 from Heller in Pontiac and at $27,994 from a dealer closer to Chicago. His suggestion is to go with the Heller deal, this includes the idea of maintenance from the Heller.
Also, the estimated $10,000 cost for putting in the required equipment still leaves the cost below the Ford, which is $40,000 before placing the equipment.
Police Chief Travis Cornwall said that orders can be placed now but production begins Dec. 1. Then there is a 90-day delivery date.
Because of the current financial situation, Wilder's idea is to discuss with the money people the idea of getting some kind of financing for second car. Part of the financing includes a bit of a bonus coming from Gridley, which Chenoa has a contract with for policing.
The mayor of Gridley, Wilder said, offered $5,000 a year on top of the regular contractual payment for the purchase of a new car.
Wilder also said that he would like to see the council mark a portion of the monthly Gridley payment (which is approximately $5,000) go toward the proposed car loan. He illustrated that $1,500 from that payment, plus the extra $5,000, nearly pays off a new vehicle. The extra $5,000 is paid in December each year.
However, instead of waiting for a couple of week,s Reinhart posed the question of approving one vehicle now.
"I would like to go forward and approve at least one," Reinhart said.
Wilder said because the matter was on the agenda, it can be voted on, which the council did, approving a new squad by a 5-0 count.
The council also approved an ordinance that releases Mark Johnson and Leo Embry from a 2017 commercial facade and building repair installment note. At the time, Embry owned the building that Johnson had his Chenoa Motor Company business located.
Health reasons have forced Johnson to close the business and Embry has since sold the building. The new owners are looking to get TIF money to help with remodeling and the like, but the city needed to release Johnson and Embry from their TIF agreement first, which was approved.
Commissioner Dwayne Price reported that the Division Street project south of Cemetery Street (US 24) should be done by the end of the month as the final stages are now taking place.

Actress Jennifer Garner visits Athens boy undergoing chemo
Posted on July 29, 2015 April 26, 2019 Written by AngieComments Off on Actress Jennifer Garner visits Athens boy undergoing chemo
A 9-year-old Athens boy had the chance to meet one of his favorite celebrities while undergoing chemotherapy in Atlanta.
It was last Thanksgiving that the Shepherd family found out their son Henry had Osteosarcoma, which is a type of bone cancer that begins in the cells that form your bones. It started with knee pain.
Following the diagnosis, Henry began aggressive chemotherapy at Scottish Rite in Atlanta.
The Shepherd family said Henry has been in and out of the hospital since December of 2014. He is admitted for every chemo treatment and has had 17 treatments so far. His final treatment is this Friday.
In March, Henry also had surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his right femur in Gainesville, Florida. His foot was removed from his leg during this surgery and rotated 180 degrees. The remaining portion of his tibia was attached to the remaining femur which allows his ankle to function as his knee.
The advantage of Rotationplasty is that he will have a "knee" to allow for better control versus a prosthetic leg, according to his family.
On Sunday, as Henry was getting his second-to-last chemo treatment, a very special visitor stopped by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite… Actress Jennifer Garner!
Garner has been filming Miracles from Heaven in Atlanta, which is set to release in 2016. The movie is about a young girl suffering from a rare digestive disorder. It's based on the book Three Miracles From Heaven which was written by Christy Beam.
Garner, along with actress Kylie Rogers who is also in the movie, decided to visit some of the children at Scottish Rite. They stopped by Henry's room and chatted with him, and Henry's twin sister, for about ten minutes.
Henry's mom, Carrie Shepherd, said Garner was "genuinely nice." She also said Henry is a huge fan of Garner's movie Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day and knew who she was right away.
We learned about Henry's story through photographer Brandy Angel, who we recently interviewed. Angel is dedicated to helping others and has photographed many families in need of kidneys or any sort of help.
"I love people. That's what I do," said Angel. "I feel like everybody deserves compassion and help because we are all at that position at some point in time in our life."

'1923' Star James Badge Dale On Sunday's Shocker Ending: 'I Left Something In That Dirt'
SPOILER ALERT! This story contains major plot points from Sunday's episode of 1923 on Paramount+.
A rousing gunfight between the Dutton crew and some local sheep owners led to a shocking conclusion Sunday on 1923, with one major member of the famed ranch taking a fatal hit. That's right, Taylor Sheridan fans: no one is safe from his fictitious bullets, even a prized member of the Dutton family (we'll never forget you, Dave Annabel's Leo Dutton from season one of Yellowstone!)
Here, James Badge Dale — the actor best known for The Departed — talks about playing John Dutton Sr. for only three episodes and how he knew from the start that his days on 1923 weren't going to last forever.
'Yellowstone': Paramount Network Announces Season 5 Return For Kevin Costner Drama
DEADLINE: So is it an honor to be killed off from a Taylor Sheridan drama?
JAMES BADGE DALE: I'm so happy to finally be able to talk about it because I did the whole press tour and they were like, 'what's the story arc here?' And I was like uh, uh. I had a great time. They were very upfront with me on what they're looking for and what they needed. It was a pleasure to play the role of John Dutton Sr.
DEADLINE: What was your audition like?
DALE: I've known [casting director] John Papsidera for like 20 years. He's seen me in all sorts of ups and downs and lefts and rights. He called and said, 'look, I think you might be the guy. Can you make a tape for us? Taylor's just gotta see it.' I was working down in North Carolina. I ran out at about 6 A.M. and taped in a swamp on my iPhone. There were like three scenes and I rewrote everything into one scene and I just knocked it out on my iPhone and in the swamp. I sent it to my agents and they were like, 'there's no way. Like, all you can hear are the bugs. You can't send this.' And I was like, send it, send it. Taylor saw it and said, that's my guy.
DEADLINE: This season came together very quickly. Did it feel like it was going fast?
DALE: They had the air date set already, so we were running up against it while shooting in Montana and dealing with the elements. We were up against the wildfire season, which was particularly bad this year. And then of course winter was coming. We worked fast, but we worked safe and we tried to work smart.
DEADLINE: So what was your relationship with horses before this?
DALE: I've said this before. I was born in New York City. There's a big difference between someone who grows up on a ranch and someone who grows up riding the subway. But Taylor hires good people and I've known these guys throughout the years. The guys who trained us were from the same wrangling team who was on The Lone Ranger back in 2013 [he played Dan Reid]. The guy who was my riding double back on The Lone Ranger was one of Harrison Ford's stunt guys. They are good people and they bring good positive energy to work all the time, and they work safely. And I think that's the most important thing when you're working with animals. The animal is the main concern on set.
DEADLINE: So what do you think Taylor was trying to establish with your character in particular? What was the goal here in your short life?
DALE: I think you've hit the nail on the head with the short life, cuz Taylor only gave me the first three scripts. I don't know where this goes. My job was very specific and the way I saw it is once John Dutton Sr. dies, the younger brother has to come home. It's a very epic romantic notion, how they need to get Spencer back here.
DEADLINE: What was it like working with Harrison?
DALE: You know, there's not many movie stars left. He is it. He is kind. He is humble. He's the hardest working guy there. We had a great time riding horses together and I learned a lot from him. And we had a lot of fun. That's the key. We do 80-hour work weeks. You gotta have fun. You gotta come in there and you better enjoy this and you better show up prepared and you better have a rough response to everything, man.
DEADLINE: So how did it go, doing that death scene?
DALE: We took three days to shoot that. Like I said, when you're working with animals and gunfire, it requires a certain type of energy. You have to really control your heartbeat and your anxiety 'cuz that animal is feeling everything. I was just so proud of this film group and stunt guys and how they were able to handle it. It's not always easy. When I was laying in the dirt, I was thinking like, 'you know? I'm leaving something in this dirt. I'm leaving something here.'
DEADLINE: Any chance you will come back as a ghost to haunt the family?
DALE: If Taylor calls me tomorrow, I'd say 'all right. I'll get on the plane.'

I read that po can take both the acc. and loc. 1) po (+acc.) = after; as far as, up to 2) po (+loc.) = after; along, over (the surface of). And both cover the sense of "after".
Therefore the process of elimination indicates that the second meaning of "po" is in play here.
This makes semantic sense. The use of accusative with prepositions usually indicates motion, but since Friday and Saturday are "static", ie. neither is ever likely to move around to another position in the week., and Saturday is certainly not moving to a new position after Friday, then it makes sense that we are using "po"in the locative.
Usually after "po" you use locative. The two situations where you would use accusative is "slightly above" (example: "woda po pas") or with objects you intend to take from somewhere ("iść po klucz").
I would suggest using the Polish Wiktionary. The English one is more error-prone it seems.
PS: Good just inflecting "piątek" correctly.
"woda po pas" = water up to the waist?
What is the difference in usage between "po" and "za"? According to Duoling, both can mean mean "after."
E.g., "Idę do baci za godzinę" and "Po imprezie idę łóżka" versus "Po piątku jest sobota."
My understanding is that "po" takes the loc., whereas "za" takes the acc case.
9.50- ten minutes to ten - za dziesięć dziesiąta.
po is after something happened.
you are right za takes accusative here, while po locative.
Why "There is Saturday after Friday" is wrong variant?
That sounds rather strange. Like "there is some Saturday after Friday"... Saturday just comes after Friday, that's how it is.
Ok, thanks a lot for explanation.

A review of batting in men's cricket
STRETCH, R, BARTLETT, R and DAVIDS, K (2000). A review of batting in men's cricket. Journal of Sports Sciences, 18 (12), 931-949.
Official URL: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/RJSP
Link to published version:: https://doi.org/10.1080/026404100446748
In this review, we critically evaluate the scientific research into the morphology and physiology of cricket batsmen. We consider all aspects of the motor control of this skill, in the context of research into dynamic interceptive actions, the biomechanics (kinematics and kinetics) of the various phases of batting strokes and injuries to batsmen. Some attention is also devoted to batting equipment and to psychological factors in batting. Because of the lack of published scientific research into women's cricket, this review focuses on the men's game and covers research on batsmen of various playing standards. For the future, we see as a high priority research into injury mechanisms, rather than simple injury statistics, and the role of cricket equipment design in injury prevention. A second priority is for multi- or inter-disciplinary research, linking the biomechanics of batting to the underlying motor control of the movements and the effect of environmental information. Biomechanical studies of the variability of the batsman's movements are needed, and these should be related to the compensatory variability proposal of ecological psychology. Clearly, there is also a need for scientific research into batting in women's cricket, which has been inadequately researched to date

49ers get positive injury update on Deebo Samuel
By Braulio Perez | Dec 12, 2022
Tampa Bay Buccaneers v San Francisco 49ers / Cooper Neill/GettyImages
Plenty of people were worried sick on Sunday when star San Francisco 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel went down with a serious-looking injury against the Bucs. Samuel was in so much pain, he had to be carted off the field.
He was in tears. People thought Samuel had potentially suffered a season-ending injury. Luckily, that's not the case, as the expectation right now is that Samuel suffered a high-ankle sprain.
#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said WR Deebo Samuel "most likely" suffered a high-ankle sprain. Typically keeps players out a few weeks, but much better news that what it initially looked like. He's undergoing more tests.
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) December 12, 2022
With this injury, Samuel will miss potentially around a month, but the good news is that he could be ready for the start of the playoffs. This may be bad news for your fantasy football squads, but Samuel hasn't played his last down for SF this campaign. We'll see if he can indeed get back on the field for when the playoffs arrive.


Andy Gabel paused for a moment yesterday in Lake Placid, N.Y., a puzzled look on his face, and reflected on what he had accomplished at the United States Olympic short-track speed skating trials.
''I'm not really sure what's happening,'' Gabel said.
What's happening is the 33-year-old Gabel, of Northbrook, Ill., is proving to be a something of a geriatric marvel in a sport that now normally is dominated by much younger skaters.


Carlo Devere Hinkson, alias "Birdman", is now in police custody after several months on the run.
Police PRO Inspector David Welch says the man – formerly described as armed and dangerous – was captured by lawmen.
Hinkson has not yet been charged.
