2018 NFL Draft Grades: NFC North and NFC South
David Latham, Managing Editor
The first part of the 2018 NFL season has officially come to pass with the end of the 2018 NFL Draft. Every team has added young, talented players to their respective squads, but some teams fared better than others. This installment of the 2018 NFL Draft grades series takes an in-depth breakdown of the NFC North and NFC South drafts.
NFC East and NFC West Grades
AFC North and AFC South Grades
AFC East and AFC West Grades
NFC North and NFC South 2018 NFL Draft Grades
Chicago Bears: B+
Players Added: Roquan Smith, James Daniels, Anthony Miller, Joel Iyiegbuniwe, Billy Nichols, Kylie Fits, Javon Wimms
The Chicago Bears first two rounds rival the first two selections of anyone in the league. With the eighth overall pick, the Bears selected the best linebacker in the draft, Roquan Smith. Smith is a dynamic linebacker capable of doing just about everything that first-year head coach Vic Fangio could ask of him. He's a physical freak, and can line up all over the defense, and has the football IQ to play multiple roles. Chicago's defense was already a solid unit, but the Smith selection could make it a top-ten unit.
The second round was devoted to making quarterback Mitch Trubisky comfortable, and the Bears hit with both their picks. James Daniels was a great steal and was viewed by some as a mid-first talent. He should go a long way in helping to keep Trubisky upright.
Anthony Miller just adds to an already revamped receiving core. The second-round selection fits his projected talent, but he may struggle to find the field. After signing Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel in free agency, the Bears should have one of the deeper receiving corps in the league. Miller will probably face a lot of single coverage and should light up the stat sheet whenever he's on the field. However, right now he's third at best on the depth chart.
The biggest surprise for the Bears is that they didn't select any edge defenders. After losing Pernell McPhee in free agency and former first-round pick Leonard Floyd disappointing, it seemed like the Bears would target pass rushing help. However, they never did. In an otherwise talented defense, the lack of edge defense is the biggest weakness for opposing offenses to attack.
Detroit Lions: B
Players Added: Frank Ragnow, Kerryon Johnson, Tracy Walker, Da'Shawn Hand, Tyrell Crosby, Nick Bawden
The Detroit Lions focused more on offense than most expected in head coach Matt Patricia's first draft. With their first pick, they selected center Frank Ragnow out of Arkansas. While the pick surprised most, Ragnow was the best center left on the board, and it's never a bad idea to invest in the offensive line. Ragnow is a great run blocker and pass blocker and immediately upgrades the offensive line. He can play all three interior positions, which only increases his value.
The Lions run game has been historically bad, as they haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher since Reggie Bush in 2013. Detroit tried to rectify that by trading up in the second round for Kerryon Johnson. Johnson immediately becomes the most talented running back since Bush, and he has the chance to be a true difference maker as a rookie. He has a running style similar to Le'Veon Bell and should be an impact player out of the backfield. If defenses have to respect the run, then that will only continue to open the field for Matthew Stafford and the aerial attack.
It was curious to see how little the Lions invested in their defense. Stafford alone makes the offense a top-ten unit, but the defense has held the Lions back in recent seasons. With a defensive-minded coach in Matt Patricia, conventional wisdom said that this draft would be used for Patricia to make his dream defense. That didn't happen, as Detroit will field basically the same defense as 2017. Perhaps better coaching will increase production, but the Lions defense could have used a few more new faces.
Green Bay Packers: B+
Players Added: Jaire Alexander, Josh Jackson, Oren Burks, J'Mon Moore, Cole Madison, JK Scott, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown, James Looney, Hunter Bradley, Kendall Donnerson
The Green Bay Packers learned the hard way that having quarterback Aaron Rodgers can mask a lot of team flaws. With Rodgers missing the majority of the 2017 season, the Packers struggled to a 7-9 record with a defense that couldn't stop anybody. First-year general manager Brian Gutekunst knew this was a problem, and made the first step to fix the problem with the selection of Jaire Alexander.
After trading out of their initial 14th overall selection, Green Bay moved back in exchange for a king's ransom while still getting a great player that fills a need. Alexander is a great cornerback prospect, capable of taking away an entire side of the field when he's at his best. With how thin the Packers are at cornerback, Alexander could be the top cornerback on the roster entering the season.
Green Bay doubled down on corners, selecting Josh Jackson with their second pick in the draft. Typically, teams don't double down on the same position this early, but the Packers secondary is easily bad enough to justify this. Jackson, while less polished than Alexander, arguably offers a higher upside. These two picks will go a long way in revamping a subpar defense.
While Green Bay did their job with the secondary, they didn't invest much in fixing the pass rush. Outside of Clay Matthews, the Packers don't have an edge player that can consistently rush the quarterback and play the run. That hasn't changed after the draft. Granted, the Packers defense had too many holes to fix in one draft, but it was surprising to see so little invested in edge defenders.
Minnesota Vikings: C+
Players Added: Mike Hughes, Brian O'Neill, Jalyn Holmes, Tyler Conklin, Daniel Carlson, Colby Gossett, Ade Aruna, Devante Downs
The Minnesota Vikings boast one of the deepest rosters in the league and didn't have too many areas of need entering the draft. They were truly capable of drafting the best player available, which led to the Mike Hughes selection.
The Vikings don't particularly need a cornerback, but there's no denying Hughes' talents. He's a little smaller than the ideal cornerback, but he has all the talent in the world to play outside. In many way, Minnesota was the perfect landing spot for Hughes. He's considered a raw prospect, and Minnesota's stacked defense means he won't be forced to play until he's ready. He may not contribute much as a rookie, but he should be a major force in 2019 and beyond.
The one glaring weakness on the Vikings roster was the offensive line, Minnesota didn't do much to fix that. They added an offensive tackle Brian O'Neill in the second round, but he's more of a developmental prospect. Minnesota's director of college scouting said O'Neill doesn't have the strength to play right away, so he's not a plug-and-play pick. Fortunately, with stopgap tackles Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers ahead of him, he doesn't need to be ready right away.
The Vikings still don't have an answer along the interior offensive line. Minnesota's interior line is one of the worst in football and has been the Achilles heel of this team for the past few seasons. Unless sixth-round selection Colby Gossett turns out to be a steal, that won't be changing. With new quarterback Kirk Cousins under center, Minnesota should have focused more resources on making sure their quarterback took as little damage as possible.
Atlanta Falcons: A-
Players Added: Calvin Ridley, Isaiah Oliver, Deadrin Senat, Ito Smith, Russell Gage, Foyesade Oluokun
The Atlanta Falcons may have lost Taylor Gabriel in free agency, but they more than made up for it in the NFL draft. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who many had as the best receiver in the draft, somehow fell into Atlanta's lap at the 26th overall pick.
Ridley's a genuine force capable of serving as the number one receiver on most teams, but pairing him with Julio Jones is just unfair. This duo immediately becomes one of the best in the league, and that's not even accounting for Mohamed Sanu as the third receiver. Factor in a top-ten quarterback slinging the ball in Matt Ryan, and this offense should be nearly impossible to stop.
The Falcons got another steal with the next selection, drafting highly talented cornerback Isiah Oliver with the 58th overall pick. Many analysts had Oliver as a late-first or early-second round selection, so grabbing him at the end of the second round was yet another great move. The Falcons didn't desperately need a cornerback, but Oliver will certainly improve the unit. In today's pass-happy NFL, there's no such thing as too many defensive backs.
Quality offensive linemen are hard to find, and almost every team has a need. However, despite the high demand, it's surprising to see the Falcons not even try to add a developmental prospect. The Falcons took running back Ito Smith in the fourth round, despite the fact he won't have much of a chance to see the field. Devonta Freeman is one of the best backs in the league, and Tevin Coleman would be starting for most teams. There were still a few high-upside guards on the board at this time, yet the Falcons went a different direction.
Carolina Panthers: B+
Players Added: DJ Moore, Donte Jackson, Rashaan Gaulden, Ian Thomas, Maquis Haynes, Jermaine Carter, Andre Smith, Kendrick Norton
After spending years ignoring the wide receiver position, the Carolina Panthers finally invested in a true number one option for Cam Newton. At pick 24, the Panthers made DJ Moore the first receiver off the board. Newton hasn't had a true do-everything receiver since Steve Smith left in 2014, until now. Smith himself was an analyst at the NFL Draft, and he proclaimed Moore the heir to his throne. That alone says everything about how great a selection this was.
The Panthers secondary was good in 2017, but it fell victim to speedy receivers multiple times over the course of the season. The scouting department correctly identified this flaw and set to fix it with the selection of cornerback Donte Jackson. Jackson was one of the fastest players at the NFL Combine, recording a 4.32-second 40-yard dash. His tape backs up that speed, and his presence should be a welcome addition to the Panthers secondary.
Interestingly, the Panthers didn't take a running back to fill the shoes of Jonathan Stewart. Stewart was a great back in his day, but his 2017 tape showed that his day has passed. He excelled as a between the tackles rusher, and Carolina currently doesn't have a player like that on the roster.
Yes, the Panthers drafted Christian McCaffrey last season, and he performed well as a rookie. However, most of his positives came in the passing game, while he struggled running the ball. He could be one of the best third-down backs in the league, but the Panthers need a thunder to McCaffrey's lightning. Unless they believe McCaffrey can make a big second-year leap, they don't have that thunder.
New Orleans Saints: C+
Players Added: Marcus Davenport, Tre'quan Smith, Rick Leonard, Natrell Jamerson, Kamrin Moore, Boston Scott, Will Clapp
The New Orleans Saints realize their championship window with Drew Brees is closing, so they went all in to build the best 2018 roster they could. That mentality was never more obvious than when the Saints sent a king's ransom to the Packers to select Marcus Davenport. Davenport's a great talent, there's no denying that. However, was it worth giving up two first-round picks and the 147th overall selection? That's debatable. Frankly, it was only a 13-spot jump and probably wasn't worth giving up that type of capital. The move will hurt New Orleans in the long run but will serve its purpose in the short term.
The Saints may have found a diamond in the rough with Will Clap late in the seventh round. He'll never become a Hall of Famer, but he has the potential to make a serious impact on the roster. While in college, Clapp played all three interior line positions and created gaps for Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice during his tenure. It would likely require injuries for him to start, he could be a solid backup for years to come.
While Clapp was a steal, the other offensive lineman selected was not. The Saints reached big time in the fourth round when they selected offensive tackle Rick Leonard. While Leonard does have the size of an NFL offensive lineman, he's only an average athlete and is still a major project. Most analysts had him going undrafted, just because he's so raw and his ceiling isn't that high. Perhaps the Saints saw something nobody else did, but right now, the Coleman selection looks like a wasted pick.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: B
Players Added: Vita Vea, Ronald Jones, MJ Stewart, Carlton Davis, Alex Cappa, Jordan Whitehead, Justin Watson, Jack Cichy
For the first time in NFL history, four quarterbacks were selected with the first ten picks. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of the prime beneficiaries of this, as it allowed defensive tackle Vita Vea to fall into their lap at 12. Vea was arguably the best interior pass rusher in the draft and would have easily been a top-ten selection most years. Tampa Bay didn't need another defensive lineman, but the value was too good to pass up. Send a prayer to the NFC South quarterbacks, because the defensive line of Vea, Jason Pierre-Paul, Gerald McCoy, and Vinny Curry should wreak havoc week in and week out.
After six years on the Doug Martin roller coaster, Tampa Bay is starting anew with Ronald Jones heading the backfield. Selecting a running back was obvious but was Jones the right guy for the job? He was taken 38th overall when there were still plenty of potential stars on the board. Additionally, running backs aren't worth what they used to be, and Tampa probably could have found a similar caliber running back in the third or fourth round.
If linebacker Jack Cichy can stay healthy, he should be able to contribute immediately on the defense. His draft stock plummeted after missing 2017 with an injury, but he was one of the better linebackers in college football in 2016. Obviously, it's difficult to come back from a serious injury under any circumstances, but that challenge increases tenfold along with learning the NFL game. Those factors mean he probably won't contribute much in 2018, but he could play a role in 2019 and beyond.

'Proud' Stevie Ward to captain Leeds Rhinos as money pours in for his former team-mate Rob Burrow
Stevie Ward
Dave Craven
Stevie Ward has spoken of his "immense pride" after being named Leeds Rhinos' new captain – while the crowdfunding campaign for his former team-mate Rob Burrow has already surged past the £150,000 mark.
Loose forward Ward, who debuted for his hometown club as an 18-year-old in 2012, succeeds Trent Merrin and will lead the team against Wakefield Trinity on Boxing Day at Emerald Headingley.
Rob Burrow
Having won two Grand Finals and a Challenge Cup with Rhinos he said: "I am immensely proud to be Leeds Rhinos captain.
"It is something I have strived towards since I first picked up a rugby ball and it has not always been easy but I've had some remarkable people to learn from along the way to help me achieve it. I am excited about 2020. All of the boys are on the same page and working for each other.
"There is a real energy going into the New Year.
"I feel like we are creating a strong new identity for the new decade."
Ward, 26, added: "The response of everybody to the news about Rob Burrow last week shows what the Rhinos represents.
"The connections and memories we all can make and the personal relationships we can build, should be the foundation of any success that we have.
"This is something the team has been working to cultivate already but we now have an even bigger purpose to fulfil in making sure that the 'Rhinos Way' continues to thrive."
At one point in 2018, Ward stepped in as captain for Merrin's predecessor Kallum Watkins but now gets the job on a permanent basis ahead of other candidates such as England scrum-half Luke Gale.
Leeds head coach Richard Agar said, "Stevie thoroughly deserves this accolade and I know he will do an outstanding job.
"Last year when we looked to re-establish our standards, Stevie was one of the key members of the group and instrumental in forging our future.
"He has shown great maturity in recent years in how he has dealt with adversity.
Leeds Rhinos ready to rumble despite latest injury setbacks insists coach Richard Agar
"We saw at the end of last season, the impact he had on our team on the field and I am looking forward to seeing him lead the side out on Boxing Day morning."
Meanwhile, Yorkshire cricket star Jonny Bairstow is auctioning a Test shirt signed by the England squad to raise money for Burrow's battle with motor neurone disease.
Three Lions international Bairstow is a personal friend of former Great Britain star Burrow, who only revealed his diagnosis on Thursday, with the pair getting to know each other while Yorkshire and Leeds shared facilities at Headingley.
The crowdfunding campaign set up to assist the 37-year-old in his treatment, as well as providing support for his family, had already reached more than £158,000 last night.
Bairstow has done his bit to help despite being on tour in South Africa, arranging for his team-mates to sign the shirt and opened the memento for offers in an Instagram video.
"I just wanted to put a few words together after hearing the news about Rob," he said.
"It's desperately disappointing and upsetting for me to have heard the news.
"It's something that's hit me pretty hard having watched him over a long period of time in Headingley.
"The determination and strength he's shown over a long career is testament to himself, his family and his friends.
"I know he's going to fight this battle with that exact same determination."
Also, more than 5,500 tickets for recently retired Leeds forward Jamie Jones-Buchanan's testimonial versus Bradford Bulls next month – now a joint fundraiser with Burrow – were sold in just 48 hours.
Neighbours Bulls have also donated all their ticket sales to the fund.

ON THE EDGE: Even if the upcoming winter holidays won't include any ski activities, given the restrictions this month announced by Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, which include the complete closure of ski runs until Jan. 7, those spending vacations in Cortina will be able to visit the Louis Vuitton store, opening by the end of December.
The first shop of the luxury fashion house to open in an Italian ski resort, it will carry Louis Vuitton men's and women's ready-to-wear and accessories collections, as well as jewelry pieces, watches, fragrances and travel sets.
Located in Cortina's central Corso Italia, the store occupies a space that was previously the men's boutique Franz Kraler, which still owns the location. Kraler operates two other multibrand shops in Cortina, as well as units in Dobbiaco and Bolzano. Last year, Kraler created a partnership with Dior to inaugurate that brand's store in Cortina.
The two-level Vuitton boutique has a cozy atmosphere heightened by the extensive use of wood. Vintage Italian furniture pieces from the Fifties and the Seventies will decorate the space, along with a range of works by several artists, including Edoardo Modenese and Russel Frampton.
This is Vuitton's 22nd store in Italy and the fourth in the Veneto region, which also houses the brand's Manufacture de Souliers footwear atelier.
Louis Vuitton is already present in other ski resorts including Courchevel in France; Crans-Montana, Gstaad and St. Moritz in Switzerland, as well as Aspen in Colorado.


"One morning, when JR awoke, an image lingered from his dreams: The wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and above it a young kid peering curiously over. A child just 1 year old, who has "no idea that's a wall that divides people — he has no idea of the political context," JR imagined. "What is he thinking?" He had no answers to his question, but the question stayed with him — and eventually, the French street artist decided to give it form. This week, within days of the Trump administration's decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program protecting 800,000 immigrants, JR erected a massive artwork towering dozens of feet above the existing wall."

Aurum Holdings revenues to exceed half a billion pounds in 2016/17
LEAD STORYNEWSUK by Rob Corder	on January 30, 2017
Jewel UK Midco Limited, the parent company of Aurum Holdings, has confirmed turnover rose 10.5% to £454 million in the financial year ended April 30, 2016.
Aurum Holdings CEO, Brian Duffy, told WatchPro in November that the group sales have been running 25% up since the current financial year began in May 2016, putting the business on track to notch turnover of over £560 million.
EBITDA for the 2016 rose from £28.2 million to £31.4 million, although operating profit fell by around one-third to £6.7 million.
Exceptional costs relating to restructuring of around £200 million in loans and amortised costs from the investment in property – particularly the opening of Watches of Switzerland boutiques in London's Knightsbridge, Regent Street and Oxford Street – affected the result in the 2015/16 financial year.
The cost of interest payments on debt rose from £20.6 million in 2015 to £27.3 million in 2016.
By May last year the group was operating 148 UK stores across its Goldsmiths, Mappin & Webb, Watches of Switzerland, and The Watch Lab; plus purely online stores Watch Shop and The Watch Hut.
Speaking to WatchPro before Christmas, Mr Duffy said there had been "headwinds" during the past two years, and that the group had a refinancing during the 2015/16 financial year. "We expanded our terms to support the degree of investment we have been making. That had a one-off charge. I would say that any reporting of the profit number is misleading," he explained.
With the financial year ending April 30, 2016, the latest published report is for the period immediately ahead of Britain's vote to leave the EU. Since that time, business has boomed. "We had a great summer. A lot of the headwinds we have faced for the past couple of years have turned into a tailwind," Mr Duffy said.
Rumours persist that Aurum Holdings' ultimate owner, Apollo Global Management, is looking to sell the British retail group.
On January 6, Mr Duffy restated that that no formal sales process has been initiated by its private equity owner.
However, he revealed that Apollo has appointed advisers to look into possible options for the sale of the business and recognises that Apollo will look for fresh investors at some point.
"Apollo is the best partner we could ever wish for, but they are a private equity company. They will sell at some point," Mr Duffy said.

I am but some simple pee in this exsistence that is humanity, but can we not take the things we have learned from the past and impose them in a nature that makes sense today. We have this problem where whoever gets elected into congress gets corrupted by these giants Corperations, and they pass these laws that benefit them and their interests. All we get to do as a mass population of people is choose these select group to act as those incharge and rule us. The idea of a Direct Democracy has been around for thousands of years yet, when we are the most connected exsistence of humanity ever, we still have things that get kept down and out of the view of the public? How can less than 1000 people rule over 300,000,000. That is never going to work. Why not impose a system where we do elect a select few 1000 people to compose these laws for us, and use the invention that connects us the most...THE INTERNET. Why can't ever American citizen log on to a website and vote for these laws that are coming out of Congress. When this country was created it was a time when mass travel and communication wasn't and they choose a representative form of democracy. Why can't we vote on people that come up with the ideas for laws and put them together and once they have been approved by congress...WE GET ON THE INTERNET AND VOTE ON IT. Every person could vote on every bill that has gone through congress in the last 10 years. Why we havent done this sooner I don't know. After the people vote on the bill if it passes then the president can approve it, and enforce it etc etc; and if it doesn't then it can just go back to congress. Everyone with the right to vote could log onto a website and prove who they are and vote on the laws, the presidents, anything that needed to be at that time being. This gives everyone a voice. This gives us all a chance to put how we feel out there and make a diffrenece. Im just a small cell in a giant organism but hopefully this can spark a idea in someones mind that can hopefully get people in the sense of humanity to become one again.

Genul liric cuprinde operele literare în care autorul își exprimă gândurile, ideile și sentimentele prin intermediul eului liric. În genul liric domină viziunea și transfigurarea artistică, autorul apelând la tehnici aluzive si asociative, creând un univers de mare forță de sugestie care se adresează sensibilității cititorului. Este, din acest motiv, genul literar al discursului subiectiv, exprimând sentimentele prin intermediul figurilor de stil și al simbolurilor. De obicei, discursul genului liric este la persoana I, dar este folosită și persoana a II-a. Opera lirică poate fi cultă (are autor cunoscut sau are originalitate) sau populară (are caracter anonim, colectiv, oral).

Lirismul este o tonalitate, un registru artistic, care pune accentul pe expresia poetică și elevată a sentimentelor personale, a pasiunii.

Cuvântul liric iși are originea în cuvântul liră, instrument muzical cu coarde, care este considerat atributul lui Apollo, inventatorul său legendar, dar și al lui Orfeu, sau Erato, muza antică a poeziei lirice și erotice reprezentată ca fiind încoronată cu trandafiri și mirt și purtând o liră în mâna dreaptă. Poeziile se recitau într-un cadru formal, pe monodiile ce răsunau din lira artistului erudit. Ritmul nu constituia o speculație matematică, ci se desprindea din metrica versului, și astfel piciorul metric al acestuia genera gruparea ritmica ce putea fi alcătuită din 2,4,8 timpi (piric, spondeu, dactil, anapest etc.) sau din 3,6,9 timpi (iamb, troheu, tribrah etc.).

Adjectivul liric apare pentru prima dată în secolul al XV-lea, în legătură cu poezia greacă antică și păstrează o relație de lungă durată cu muzica ce încă mai există în expresia artă lirică. Atașat totodată la unele forme ale poeziei sec. al XVI-lea, cuvântul liric va defini o expresie subiectivă ce ține mai degrabă de sentimente particulare (individuale), în opoziție cu poezia epică sau poezia dramatică (care a inclus tragedia ca și comedie).

Lira era însemnul lui Apollo, zeul luminii, al muzicii și al poeziei la greci. În Grecia Antică acompaniamentul de liră atrăgea muzele ce amplificau spiritul creativ. De-abia în epoca modernă, poezia lirică a ajuns să însemne creație literară ce exprimă sentimente sau atitudini. Treptat, lirismul s-a identificat cu poezia, supusă unor mijloace formale cum sunt versul, stofa, ritmul sau rima.

În literatura contemporană nu se mai poate vorbi de o asociere între genul liric și poezie, existând și opere lirice în proză. Mai mult chiar, în cadrul poeziilor se distinge un amestec al lirismului cu epicul și există o tendință de distrugere a regulilor rigide de versificație.

Specii ale genului liric

 Elegia este un poem liric al cărui ton e adesea tandru, trist și melancolic. În secolul al XV-lea, elegia tindea să dobândească un caracter filozofic. Exemple de autori de elegii: Tibul, Ovidiu, Goethe, Aleksandr Pușkin etc.
 Epigramă: este o specie a poeziei lirice, de proporții reduse, de obicei catren, care satirizează elementele negative ale unui caracter omenesc, ale unei situații etc. și se termină printr-o poantă ironică, mușcătoare, la adresa unui personaj, a unui fapt etc. Autori: Grigore Alexandrescu.
 Epistolă: specie literară, mai ales în versuri, aparținând poeziei didactice sau satirice, în care se tratează un subiect filozofic, moral, artistic, etc. sub formă de scrisoare adresată unei persoane reale sau imaginare. Autori: Grigore Alexandrescu, exemplu "Epistolă Dlui V.II"
 Oda este un poem cântat la vechii greci. La moderni, poem liric de înaltă inspirație, compus din strofe simetrice. Asemenea cântecelor corului, oda avea o compoziție triagică. (exemple Victor Hugo, Pușkin)
 Pastelul este un termen provenit din limba germană semnificând pictura cu creioane moi. De la pictura în pastel termenul s-a extins în literatură, definind delicatețea unei descrieri lirice. (exemplu Vasile Alecsandri - creatorul acestei specii prin ciclul "Pasteluri")-exista ca specie doar în literatura română
 Meditația (filozofică) este o specie a genului liric în versuri în care e descris un fenomen din natură ale cărui concluzii devin valabile și pentru oameni. (exemple Grigore Alexandrescu, "Meditație", Mihai Eminescu)
 Satira este o operă în general în versuri,(exemple Grigore Alexandrescu, "Satira. Duhului meu")
 Pamfletul este o specie a genului liric în care sunt criticate defectele unei persoane, societății cu intenția îndreptării. Poate fi în proză sau în versuri. (exemple Ion Heliade Rădulescu, Grigore Alexandrescu).
 Sonetul este o piesă lirică alcătuită din paisprezece versuri cu aceeași măsură dispusă în două catrene cu rimă îmbrățișată. Este o poezie cu formă fixă cea mai frecventată. (exemple Dante Alighieri, Petrarca, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo etc.)
 Rondelul este o poezie cu formă fixă alcătuită din trei catrene și un vers izolat. Versurile unu și doi sunt identice cu versurile șapte și opt. (exemple Alexandru Macedonski prin "Poema rondelurilor")
 Gazelul este o poezie cu formă fixă alcătuită din strofe cu două versuri; originară din literaturile orientale, ajunge în Europa la începutul secolului al XIX-lea. (exemple Hafez, Saadi, Fuzûlî, Goethe, George Coșbuc, Mihai Eminescu).
 Glosa s-a născut în Spania secolului al XV-lea. Este o specie a genului liric cu formă fixă. Prima strofă este alcătuită din patru, șase, sau opt versuri ce conțin tema de bază. Fiecare vers e comentat într-o strofă specială de aceeași mărime cu prima. Ultima strofă o reproduce pe prima cu ordinea inversată a versurilor. (exemple Mihai Eminescu, "Glossa")
 Romanța are un aspect erotic, sentimental, duios, melancolic . Este dedicat celebrării faptelor istorice vitejești , sau conțin exclamații ori chemări.
 Imnul este un cântec de preamărire a divinității, conține cuvinte de importanță națională și are un caracter solemn.
 Doina este o creație lirică specifică poporului român, în care se exprimă în mod direct sentimentele de dor, de jale, de înstrăinare, de revoltă, de cătănie, de haiducie, de tristețe, de iubire, de regret etc.
 Idila este o specie a liricii peisagiste și erotice, din sfera poeziei bucolice, care prezintă în chip optimist și idealizat iubirea, într-un cadru rustic, sentimentul de dragoste fiind ilustrat prin imagini artistice și figuri de stil, cu tablouri din natură și puternice trăiri interioare.
 Haiku este un gen de poezie cu formă fixă, tradițional japoneză, alcătuită din 17 silabe repartizate pe 3 "versuri" formate din 5, 7, 5 silabe.

Ah, the end of the year. The days are shorter, the weather chillier, and a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of the Techdown "Best of 2015" lists.
This week, we've stolen a page from our friends at the Top Four podcast, and whittled our favorites down to a cool tetrad. And when the votes were counted, the bribes cashed, and death threats heeded, we were both left with what I consider to be some very respectable lists. If you've somehow missed out on some of these apps over the course of the year, dear listener, then this is your chance to get caught up on some seriously grade A software.

The Famous Old House Art Gallery of Long Melford is nestled in a quiet corner of West Suffolk right on the border with Essex. The village of Long Melford in Suffolk has a famous past. Queen Elizabeth I visited Melford Hall during her reign when the area was flourishing as a wool centre. Long Melford has not one but two magnificent houses dating back to Tudor times, the other being Kentwell Hall. In more recent times, the village became famous for the setting of the 1980's and 1990's Lovejoy TV series, starring Ian McShane as a rather rogue antique dealer. At the time, the village had an abundance of antique shops and two antique emporiums still remain to this day. Long Melford is a little bit of Old England that attracts thousands of visitors a year.
Our Suffolk Fine Art Gallery is housed in a beautiful Grade II listed timber framed building dating back around 500 years. The front façade still retains exposed timbers as does the interior. On the ground floor there are five fireplaces including a magnificent large inglenook fireplace in the main room. The six gallery rooms have been meticulously restored and have a perfect setting to show original masterpieces from times gone by. There is a light and airy room which was converted from an old kitchen and this is reserved to show more modern and contemporary pieces.
The ethos of the business is to provide fine art paintings and bronze sculpture in relaxed and comfortable surroundings where serious art buyers can enjoy a mix and variety of artwork at their leisure. The work displayed is mainly from a bygone era and typifies grandeur from the 19th & 20th century. There is a strong French influence and iconic scenes such as The Moulin Rouge, Notre Dame, The Pantheon and Café de la Paix can be seen in works painted by famous and highly regarded artists including Edouard Cortes, Antoine Blanchard, Antoine Bouvard Snr, Noel Georges Bouvard, Marcel Dyf, Jules Rene Herve and Eugene Galien-Laloue. Modern British paintings, British 19th century paintings and Victorian paintings are typically represented by Sidney Richard Percy, Sir Alfred James Munnings, Edward Seago, Sir John Alfred Arnesby Brown, Campbell Mellon, Edward Ladell, Charles Spencelayh, Edgar Hunt, Cecil Kennedy, Harold Clayton and wildlife artist Donald Currie Grant. Suffolk's very own Clive Madgwick is also well represented with up to thirty paintings in stock and usually two exhibitions a year. So whether you are looking for local works, coastal & marine paintings, landscape paintings, city scape paintings, portraiture, floral & still life paintings, sporting & animal paintings, genre paintings, impressionistic or detailed subject matter we are sure to have something to suit your taste.
Modern Australian glassware compliments the historical paintings and we are favoured with displaying original and unique glass sand blast etched bowls by the reknown Australian artist Rish Gordon. These feature African animals from her younger days when she lived in Kenya in East Africa. We are UK stockists of a full range of contemporary glassware by the Gordon Glassblowing studio from Red Hill, Australia.
We also stock a select number of charming original bronze sculptures, mainly French, from the 19th & 20th century. Artists represented include Hippolyte Moreau, Auguste Moreau, Pierre Louis Detrier, Henri Honore Ple and Edouard Drouot to name a few.
For an interactive view of our gallery please scroll down this page and use our free virtual tour facility.
If you are serious about serious art we look forward to seeing you soon!

Bridgeport open to taking in immigrant kids
by Ana Radelat July 21, 2014 @ 6:36 pm September 4, 2022 @ 10:38 pm
WASHINGTON – Bridgeport is exploring whether it has the facilities that would meet federal requirements to host some of the Central American migrant children who are in overcrowded federal holding centers along the borders, a city spokesman said.


Businesses, investors, mayors, governors, NGOs and others are committing to ambitious carbon-reduction targets in energy, transportation and conservation.
For solar facilities, if construction begins any time before 2020, the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) equals 30 percent of eligible costs. It steps down gradually afterward.
Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and Michael Bennet, D-Colo., wrote to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin asking for the expansion of energy storage eligibility under the renewable energy investment tax credit.
A new paper by the cofounder and chief scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) seeks to challenge conventional wisdom when it comes to energy efficiency, positing that the size and cost of the potential resource base is much larger and cheaper than previously believed.
SunPower has said some of the solar cells and panels it produces overseas will be excluded from the Trump administration's 30-percent import tariffs, sending the company's shares up 15 percent.
The Trump administration has unveiled long-awaited tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods. The new round of duties under Section 301 will hit yet another slice of the solar market: inverters.
The U.S. Department of Energy has announced $148 million in funding for two separate initiatives aimed at advancing research into energy storage technologies.
A coalition of renewable energy, nuclear power, and consumer advocacy groups has released a set of principles they say should guide the rewrite of capacity market rules for the PJM Interconnection, the nation's largest wholesale power market.

Facebook Shuts Down Its Facial Recognition
With Facebook Shutting Down Its Facial Recognition, Will Other Companies Follow?
Banning the technology comes right when Facebook is also trying to pivot its public image toward its new parent company, Meta.
By Caroline Delbert Published: Nov 4, 2021
Rainier Ehrhardt//Getty Images
Facebook will discontinue facial recognition of user photos this month.
The move follows legal and government scrutiny and corporate image concerns, but the cat may be out of the bag for this technology, unless other companies follow suit.
After more than a decade of use, Facebook announced that is is retiring its far-reaching facial recognition system. That will effectively delete facial recognition data and profiles for 1 billion users.
The move follows investigations, regulatory problems, and a class-action lawsuit, along with the increasingly scrutinous public's opinions on facial recognition technology overall. Digital rights advocates say Facebook is striking a blow against invasive surveillance, but this may be too little too late from the enormous organization. It's also not clear where other companies will fall on the issue of facial recognition.
Genius Ways to Trick Surveillance Systems
IBM Is Ending All Facial Recognition Research
The New York Times reported that Facebook will shut down its facial recognition system this month after all the regulatory headaches:
"When the Federal Trade Commission fined Facebook a record $5 billion to settle privacy complaints in 2019, the facial recognition software was among the concerns. Last year, the company also agreed to pay $650 million to settle a class-action lawsuit in Illinois that accused Facebook of violating a state law that requires residents' consent to use their biometric information, including their 'face geometry.'"
The move comes after a series of high profile problems for Facebook, including a major leak about the company's misinformation peddling via advertising and a subsequent series of congressional hearings and inquiries. About a third of users have facial recognition features turned on in their Facebook settings, which is used to alert them of new photos, to root out photos stolen by fake accounts, and to help caption photos for blind users. (Facebook's automatic captioning still works, it just won't include specific user names anymore.)
Fight for the Future campaign director Caitlin Seeley George said in a statement that all facial recognition technology should be banned, making this a good step for Facebook. "From misidentifying Black and Brown people (which has already led to wrongful arrests) to making it impossible to move through our lives without being constantly surveilled, we cannot trust governments, law enforcement, or private companies with this kind of invasive surveillance," she said.
Facebook's facial recognition features mostly seem like user conveniences, but they've led the industry in terms of the power of these tools. The accumulation of identified photos on Facebook is one of the largest collections in the world. Going forward, users will have to manually tag their photos, for the first time since 2010 or 2011. There were just 372 million active daily users of the site back then, while today there are more than 1.9 billion.
Banning the technology comes right when Facebook is also trying to pivot its public image toward its new parent company, Meta. It's likely that public sentiment toward facial recognition combined with growing legal hassles just made it easier for Facebook to shut down use of its DeepFace program—which, for the record, will still exist and be used for different purposes.
How to Spot Deepfakes
Finally, Facebook is Banning Deepfake Videos
Governments around the United States have started to pass laws controlling and limiting the use of facial recognition software. That includes Portland, Oregon, which has one of the most wide-reaching of these laws. It also includes six cities in Massachusetts alone and states like Maine. If Facebook fears legal hassles, it seems likely that they would just increase from here.
There is also a changing ideological tide among fellow tech giants. IBM was one of the first to ban and distance themselves from facial recognition during the protests for Black lives in June 2020. Shortly after, Amazon announced a one-year hiatus of its Rekognition software, which they've since extended indefinitely.
Seeley George said this is not enough. "Companies like Delta and Macy's should ask themselves what they're thinking by expanding and doubling down on their use of the highly dangerous technology. Lawmakers should ask why they're allowing government contracts with Clearview instead of banning use of the technology," she said.
What about those with, for example, iPhones that use Apple's Face ID technology? Well, Apple's advanced technology doesn't just recognize your face—it recognizes if you're unconscious, for example, or otherwise distressed in a way that suggests the login attempt is forced or unwanted. For those who are worried about it, you can always shut off Face ID and go back to using a simple PIN instead.

Sylmar Resident Convicted in 2010 Murder NR12538pv/rf
Los Angeles: Nearly two years to the day of the gruesome crime, Esteban Tabarez was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the stabbing death of then 19-year-old Zachary Leon, a Colorado art student. Tabarez was 21-years-old at the time.
"Two things made this murder particularly heinous," said Lt. Paul Vernon, commanding officer of the Mission Detective Division. "Tabarez stabbed the victim over two dozen times and slit his throat, and the victim never saw the attack coming."
Leon and Tabarez met that night, Nov. 6, 2010, after connecting through a website. They met at Tabarez's house on Bombay Street in Sylmar and later drove to McDonald's for a late-night snack.
Tabarez attacked Leon while the two sat in a car in front of Tabarez's house just after 2 a.m. on
Nov. 7, 2010. By all accounts, a simple comment by Leon calling Tabarez a tease may have been the slight that sent Tabarez into a rage, stabbing and slashing Leon dead and leaving Tabarez covered in the victim's blood.
When officers arrived, Tabarez told a story of three men robbing Tabarez and Leon as they sat in the car. Tabarez ran away, but returned to find Leon dead. Officers believed the story at first, but as they poured over the crime scene, Tabarez's story did not add up. Officers found two knives on Tabarez when they searched him. Later, they also found text messages on Tabarez's phone that implied a malicious intent. He wrote to a girlfriend sometime after Leon's arrival but before the murder, "…I might make someone disappear tonight."
Tabarez was booked that morning and prosecutors filed murder charges two days later. "One can only imagine the fear that passed through Zachary Leon's mind as he struggled to live," said Vernon. "The lesson here is to avoid risky behavior, like meeting someone from the internet. There are far more psychopathic people out there than most people realize, and they prey on unsuspecting, innocent personalities."
LAPD accepts anonymous tips, and they can be called into Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477) or by texting 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cellphone. All text messages should begin with the letters "LAPD." Online tips may be placed at www.LAPDOnline.org by clicking on "webtips" and following the prompts.


The patch is removing two lines of code which are cosing the problem.
You can access the patch file on my svn server by following this link.
The OSS PCM muting device bug is not noticeable to most of the wine users because they are using alsa sound system. Unfortunately I'm using some applications like Ventrilo voice communication software which forced me to run them in OSS. I couldn't make my input sound device work with alsa under wine. This way mentioned above bug was very annoying for me. I did not noticed any problem with this patch, but as this bug is not being fixed by upstream wine developers, and they may have some reason not to fix it this way, I'm keeping the ebuild hard mask in my overlay.
Additionally for this ebuild I filtered out the "-fomit-frame-pointer" compilation CFLAG. Compiling wine with this flag was preventing many Windows games from running because of started debugger error.

LeAnn Rimes Co-Hosts CBS's The Talk
August 3, 2012 at 2:42 PM (PT)
CURB NASHVILLE artist LEANN RIMES made a return visit to CBS's "The Talk" TODAY (8/3), to co-host the daytime talk show that she had previously appeared on in JULY.
Still re-cooperating from emergency oral surgery that she underwent last weekend (NET NEWS 7/31), RIMES tweeted that her appearance on TODAY's show was "obviously pre-filmed."
To watch LEANN co-host "The Talk," click here. Follow LEANN RIMES on Twitter @leannrimes


A couple of months ago, I discovered Marialaura Fedi on Instagram. She's a young artist based in Italy, who draws inspiration from strong fashionable women and peaceful places (her IG profile also reads "plant enthusiast" – am i describing myself?). Not only do her artworks have such colour and life to them, they also showcase her impeccable taste in style and living, while evoking an undeniable sense of calm. It's a quality that's unlike anything else I've seen, and I knew right away that she was going to be someone special.
I reached out to her to discuss the idea of painting a series of custom artworks, each one capturing the essence of an Our Second Nature girl. I sent her the photos we took at our first editorial: A Year With The Wildflowers, and asked her to translate what she saw. A few emails and many heart emojis later, Marialaura presented me with a trio of OSN girls, all quietly confident, each distinctive in their personality, surrounded by the environment that inspires them most.
The artworks turned out to be exceedingly personal and beautiful, and needless to say they hold a very special place in my heart. When I look at them, I am reminded of the year gone past, and of all the memories it envelopes. I think of the excitement and butterflies leading up to our launch a year ago, not knowing how OSN would be perceived by all of you. I think of the six prints and stories we've shared with you through the course of the year (can you count them?). Most of all I think of the lives we've connected with through this passion project of ours – thank you for sending us letters telling us how we've brightened up your day, or how our stories inspired you when you weren't feeling your best.
When I look at the artworks, I'm instinctively reminded of my two sisters too, Julianne and Alexandra, who I've decided to name the artworks after. They inspire me daily with their ambition and love for life, and have been my muses right from the beginning.
So, to celebrate our first birthday (a big milestone!!), we're releasing a limited run of these artworks specially for you. Handpainted by Marialaura Fedi using the gouache technique, then reprinted on A3 sized Fedrigoni paper in Italy. These artworks are autographed and serialised too, so you know yours is one of a kind.
They will be retailing for SGD105, and are to be released on our 1 year anniversary: 16th December 2017 at 10am.
There are only 50 of each design worldwide, so to all you OSN collectors out there, this one's for you.
A very happy birthday to us!

TNM004Klaus
"Klaus returns from a two and a half year hiatus from himself with just 11 minutes of music - that's an average of less than a second of music per day, which is frankly ridiculous" begins the summary for TNM004.
While it's true that dispatches from Nick Sigsworth's Tanum are few and far between, I don't think I'd have it any other way. Listening to the assorted 12"s released on the imprint, its clear this is music which can't be rushed. Sigsworth's creative process seems to be about continuous reduction, stripping his tracks to their bare essentials and seeing how little he can get away with.
'Cry Tuff' opens TNM004 with sullen dulcet tones and intermittent thrusts of low-end working together in downcast harmony. At a different tempo you could be forgiven for placing this kind of music in the lineage of labels like Chain Reaction; Sigsworth's textures and dubby and rich, clouded with gentle breezes of static and obscured field recordings. 'Bela' for example crackles like fireside kindling, distant vocals echoing in and out of focus. The effect is like driving at night; catching fragments of different scenes passing you by.
This is undeniably bass-heavy music, yet it seems as if with each release Sigsworth travels further and further from his debut, which stood on the fringes of the dubstep scene, the skeletal 'Tusk' EP. The low-end on 'Gus' is case in point, scaled down so much it acts as a kind of physical sub-pressure, rather than discernible notes. Washes of ambience are similarly opaque, as echoing string textures dart like meteors across the night sky.

Auto Makers Digitize Test Drive Experience During Lockdown
Dealerships are doing what they can to digitize their selling experiences as the pandemic has changed the way we shop.
Car dealerships are digitizing test drive experience for customers due to the coronavirus lockdowns, according to The Wall Street Journal.?
"=p[
Pande=mic lockdown orders have made car companies' showrooms empty in the U.S. for the past few months, and vehicle sales have dropped 59 percent below the expectations before the coronavirus crisis. As a result, car makers are seeking digitalization of the showroom experience for their buyers.
Infiniti, a luxury-car division of Nissan Motor Co., has turned to videoconferencing software to present its cars. Employees are trained on how to produce virtual walk-throughs with tips on lighting, sound and backdrops. Customers are offered the test drive opportunity by taking it solo.
"We explain the things that they should be looking for, and maybe plan out a route and suggest the types of driving they should do," said Matthew Wilson, Infiniti's director of client experience and training. Roughly 60 percent of the company's sellers are bringing fully sanitized test-drive cars to the customers, he said, and contracts can be signed via email.
Wilson said that virtual retail experience will be offered even after the lockdown, as 70 percent of Infiniti's customers who are aware of the remote showroom expressed interest in continuing it beyond the pandemic.
Including Infiniti, many car makers have started on digital initiatives before the pandemic, but saw things accelerating due to the lockdown. "Now, there's been this unearthing and acceleration of all those products,"Christophe Castagnera of experience marketing agency Imagination Group Ltd. said. "It's like their time has come."
Volvo Car USA also saw the number of digital retail more than doubled from March to May, a company spokesman said, even after the gradual reopening of in-person showrooms in May.
Carvana Co. has attracted customers with its showroom-free model, which saved time and money for buyers, as the company offers high-definition, 360-degree photography at its Car Vending Machines.
However, showrooms will still remain vital to the car retail business. Mercedes-Benz AG in Germany reported 80 percent of customers still wanting to receive in-person advice and test drives. But the showrooms could evolve, Castagnera of Imagination Group predicted, where city or mall based car-free showrooms and direct-to-home services could implement traditional marketing methods.


This project aims to develop a high-throughput screen for the analysis of promoter sequences driving expression of a reporter gene in plant protoplasts. We envisage this device to be applicable to a range of plant species and cell types, and by coupling it to libraries of regulatory elements identified by DNase-Seq, it will rapidly increase the rate of identifying promoters for biotechnological applications.
DNA regulatory elements are fundamental parts for genetic circuit design. The generation and characterization of promoter libraries can greatly facilitate fine tuning of gene expression within a circuit. We have used DNase-Seq (Meyer and Liu 2014) to identify candidate regulatory elements (>50,000) controlling cell-preferential gene expression within maize leaves (Burgess and Reyna-Llorens; unpublished data). Current validation techniques involve fusing sequences to a reporter and analysing expression in planta, which requires testing each element in an individual plant, either through transient biolistic transformation or the generation of stable transgenics (Brown et al. 2011). Applying these techniques to whole regulatory element libraries is not feasible at a laboratory scale.
This project aims to develop a high-throughput screen for the analysis of promoter sequences driving expression of a reporter gene in plant protoplasts. Protoplasts will be transformed by plasmid reporter constructs consisting of a regulatory region fused to a minimal promoter and a fluorescent protein. The expression level of fluorescent reporter within each protoplast will be questioned by laser in situ excitation in the sorting microfluidic device which will be also used to separate out individual protoplasts. Protoplasts will be sorted into two pools according to a user-specified threshold of fluorescence intensity (Abalde-Cela et al. 2015). In analysing a library of elements, this procedure will be performed iteratively at ever decreasing thresholds of fluorescence intensity to sort regulatory elements by their promoter activity. To determine which regulatory regions are present in each fraction, DNA will be extracted and sequenced using Illumina technology for each pool. We envisage this device to be applicable to a range of plant species and cell types, and by coupling it to libraries of regulatory elements identified by DNase-Seq, it will rapidly increase the rate of identifying promoters for biotechnological applications.

Арка́дий Никола́евич Алфёров  (1814?—1872) —  и исследователь гравюр; землевладелец Сумского и Валковского уездов Харьковской губернии.

Биография
Родился в селе Поповка Сумского уезда Харьковской губернии в семье архитектора и гравёра Н. Ф. Алфёрова.

Окончив обучение в одном из харьковских пансионов, поступил в 1832 году в Императорский Харьковский университет и окончил его словесное отделение в 1836 году. С 14 апреля 1838 года состоял почётным смотрителем Змиевского уездного училища.

Из-за болезни оставил занятия рисованием.

С 1857 года и до конца своей жизни А. Н. Алфёров жил в Германии, пополняя своё собрание гравюр и картин известных художников.

Аркадий Алфёров завещал свою коллекцию, которая насчитывала более 3 тысяч экземпляров (от Дюрера и Ботичелли до Брюллова и Айвазовского) Харьковскому университету. Позже коллекция, опись которой занимает 640 страниц, стала значительной частью собрания Харьковского художественного музея; в музей поступило 50 живописных произведений, 420 листов оригинальной графики (рисунок, акварель) и около 3 тыс. гравюр западноевропейских и русских мастеров XVI—XIX вв. Во время Великой Отечественной войны коллекция сильно пострадала: сейчас она насчитывает 18 живописных произведений, около 150 листов оригинальной графики и более 2 тыс. гравюр.

Похоронен на Старом кладбище в Бонне.
