At the moment we don't even have enough for a five a side team (Dunn, Norburn, Norwood and Tollitt I think, everyone else is out of contract). Lots of work to be done over the next few weeks.
They will all go down in our history but with all due respect to them not all are up to League 2, would like to see us retain Cook, Nors, Norburn, Buxton, Cole, Jennings long term, McNulty next season, love to see us sign Manny. Good recruitment needed elsewhere, Davies will go down as our promotion goalie but he's error prone and did his best to show that yday so I'd like to see a new keeper in 1st choice. Banks would be a good edition but can we afford him.
It is an advantage that many of the also rans are out of contract and to my mind a pity Dunn is not in that group.It gives MM plenty of scope in making offers that will retain the best.
I noticed that Jalal has been released by Maccs despite being in the National team of the season..
Still on cloud nine and agree these players will go into Tranmere history books.
Absolutely agree re: getting in a better goalkeeper.
Plus Norburn and Tollitt .
Keep Cole, Ginnelly, get Monthe & Montly-Henry.

I'm 95% confident we'll get Ollie Banks now. He was there as a guest of the club yesterday.

The same Ebbsfleet keeper who didn't move and let Larnell Cole's shot bounce in off his shoulder? No thanks.
I've heard Buffon might be available and I'm sure Mark and Nicola will have made contact!
Carlo Cudicini made a few boners for Chelsea regarding crosses, but how many top flight clubs and those below would have had him around 10 years ago?
No keeper is perfect, but I believe davies was part of Fleetwood's league 2 promotion team, so he is very experienced in league 2 and should be perfectly capable at that level, but there is a risk someone like Pilling might leave, so trying to find a competitive keeper would be shrewd, especially if there is someone with an edge over Davies for the right weekly cost.
Hopefully Banks will be signed as I have no doubts he will be a very useful cog in the wheel.
For me it's about the best team at the right cost. Sentiment has little place in this decision making. Harsh but true.
Sign up Cole,Ginnelly.& Ollie Banks ..That's it .....Momentum is massive winning Breds winners, which is what we are ..The togetherness shown yesterday between the players and fans shows what can be achieved..We ARE.good enough to challenge for a top 3 spot....I cannot wait for the new season to start ..
To sightly rain on the parade to that list you can unfortunately add Waring and Alabi who unless we can offload are on the wage bill for another season.
Davies yes has made mistakes but at NL level he is good and would be fine in League 2 provided we have a reserve who is almost as capable be that Pilling (if he would stay) or someone else. The Ebbsfleet keeper is a case in point - looked great in the league game but was poor in the play off. Clarke should definitely be retained also if we can though I think he will go to an even higher level. You can coach the defending you can't increase pace.
Where do we all stand with Kirby and Wallace? Not sure myself on Jake, but Wallace for me must go. He's our highest paid player if you can use the word player. Also Andy Mangan is also the other top paid. Is it worth the wage bill for a bench warmer, although I'm a big fan of his and my heart says keep him. I'm sure the likes of Salford will be happy to cough up the money for him. Harris and Jenno are the 2 musts for me.
I also think Rides should be kept. He does a decent job at left back and get a high amount of assists.
For me I would have a look at the Wrexham CB Pearson, can`t fault his contribution towards one of the tightest defences in the National League.
I would like to DMH and Ollie Banks make a permanent return if it was possible. I think Harris has to be retained for me, he lacks the flair but what a fighter, he never stops and thought he was excellent when he came on.
Obviously we need to strengthen for next season, we also need the right options for the bench as we are allowed 7 subs in the league compared to 5 in NL.
I don't think we have a chance with DMH, he signed a 3 year contract when he returned from our loan I believe. Shame really.
Given we're back in the league, won't we be a more attractive placement for promising youngsters from higher up the food chain on a season loan? Worth exploring I'd have thought.
If the expectation next season is another promotion push then, in the cold light of day, I reckon we'll need a good 4-5 new faces in the first 11. Most teams who've gone up from the National in recent seasons have done nothing in League 2 and, although we look well-placed off the field to progress, I think many of the current lads have now reached their level (and their CVs probably tell us that). Though they've certainly earned themselves another crack at it.
Saying that, after what we've been through over the last five years (and on Saturday!), right now I'd be happy enough just to get a firm foothold in League 2 next season, with a view to pushing on after that.
Who we retain/sign next season will depend on the type of Football Micky wants us to play. Win ugly if necessary has been very much the theme over the last few months, but I can't see that style of football cutting it in league 2. We should look at teams that have gone up in previous seasons, FGR, Cheltenham, Grimsby not exactly set the league on fire, even to an extent Lincoln, I thought they would go up automatically, I hope they make it via the play offs.
A different style with wide players, possibly 3-5-2, requiring a mobile back 3, Sutton Monthe, plus other, with Gumbs in reserve. Love Macca to bits and he was tremendous on Saturday (but you can say that about all that played), I've a feeling he could go into coaching or would get a better offer than we would be willing to pay from another NL side.
Think Rides should be kept, one of the few with league experience, think Buxton would struggle unless he loses a few pounds, I think Micky will keep Dunn (potential) and Mangan (experience), not sure about Ben/Jake/Wallace all fitness issues and we can't afford passengers with our budget.
Cole should stay along with Connor, Norburn, Eddie, and obviously Cook and Nors, we will have the money to keep any player we want but we have to be realistic and bring in some players with league experience, Ollie Banks will be signed as he won't get a better offer and he knows the club.
I would expect the club to sign at least 1 centre back, 2 central midfielders, 1 wing back, 1 winger, we may get some players in on lone, season long hopefully, don't think we should be signing any players from the National league.
I'm thinking the same, if another push doesn't materialise next season then so be it but just don't drop back again.
Isn't Mickys contract up this season?
Also saw Jose Baxter at Wembley sitting near Banks. Where is he now?
Apparently he's coming back to us.
He's contracted with Everton and trains with their reserve side whilst he gets back into the swing of things.
An offer could tempt him to want to go back into playing some first team games.
Most of our so called reserves where not good enough to seriously challenge for a national place.Why would we move forward with most of that group retained.Sad as it is I would get rid of Wallace,Kirby,Mangan, Dunn,McEverley, even Gumbs and Duggan,Drysdale,Rokka,and if possible Alabi and Waring.
We have a good core but we are far short of a division 2 squad.It is great that we are now back in the league.I hope the management is ruthless in ensuring that we are not just returning to flirt with relegation.
Baxter; one that Ronnie Moore should have signed when he had the chance and he had two of them that season, but if Baxter comes back he will add something and could possibly be a player with the genuine class at that level to propel Tranmere possibly into the top 3.
Baxter had his chance and threw it away. He was left with nothing a knew it (who would sign a drug user?) Everton have given him the opportunity to reform his life really by getting fit and playing for the under 23's (even though he's 26).
I would assume he has regularly been drug tested at Everton, so must be clean now.
The lad just wants to play football, he always has. Remember he turned down an offer from Everton to sign for Oldham.
If the deal was right, I'd welcome him back.
What's the general feeling on Rides?
I've supported him since he was first relegated with us and would still pick him over Clarke, but feel like it might be time to get a replacement as we step up a level. After the incident on Saturday too it's an area for improvement.
As for Davies, I'm happy with him but would be interested to see how he played without McNulty organising the back as he might come out more which is often when he is prone to error.
Andrade is somewhat of a has-been, didn't make it at PL level, had a few loans at FL level but it didn't really click so received a decent offer to go down to non-league. I think he may well have found his level.
Rides is contracted until the end of next season, i won't take anything away from him on saturday as it turned out alright in the end and for the fact that he doesn't do that on a regular occasion but some cover/ competition and maybe try Clarke out as a winger during pre-season. I'm happy to be wrong about the lad but reckon he could do a job on the left wing!
Lets see who leaves first and take it from there.
Micky has a really hard job coming up. Hes going to have to break the bad news to quite a few players despite them getting us back in the F.L. , dont envy him.
Some of rhe squad are just not good enough for League 2 football and unfortunately need to be moved on.
Think we all know who needs releasing without naming them on here.
Banks and DMH would do well if we could afford them and Cookie should be top of Micky's wanted list.
would they have deals on the table for some of the players like Cookie already - basically if we go up this is the offer and if we didn't a different offer? Every day goes by without him being signed is worrying! I know its early days but lets capitalise on the excitement around the club and get deals done asap.
In interviews, MP has suggested that we could find Div. 2 easier in some ways and aim to pass straight through. If that is the aim, we'll need a few new faces, though it seems tough on those who got us promotion. I'd definitely go with McNulty (not just as player, but also defence organiser and captain) but he needs a younger, quick centre half with him. I hope we play with wingers : Ginelly, Cole and (if fit) Tollitt. Injured players have to be rational gambles made on the basis of medical evidence plus inside knowledge (training etc.) plus appearance-based contracts. I hope Tollitt returns as his old self. Kirby deserves some luck . I'd love to see Wallace return, but must admit it now looks unlikely. If not, we really need a creative midfield player. I'd like Banks (possible) and DMH (unlikely). Baxter could be great, but could also be trouble - another gamble where we don't really know all the facts. Ridehalgh should be fine at Div. 2 level and (if he loses some weight) so should Buxton. Not sure about Davies - I accept that even the best keepers make occasional mistakes, but you're amazed when they do ; generally, Davies makes me nervous so, on balance, I'd only keep him as reserve which would presumably be unacceptable to him. Happy to say that our strikers (especially Norwood) proved me wrong and finally played as a pair and took enough of their chances in the second half of the season ; hopefully, they can carry on from where they left off. But we'll need another striker on the bench. However good Mangan may be in the dressing room or to have around the place, I can't see him getting goals. I suppose there's an outside possibility (though no evidence for this) that Waring or Alibi might come good? Assuming not, we need to loan them out and get one good striker in.
League 2 should be a little easier, as there are 3 automatic places and compared to the NL it has had for years a 7th place playoff spot, which the NL didn't until this season.
Plus there will be less former part-time and now monied clubs to contend with, so in budget terms there could be one or two less clubs able to match the budgeting of Tranmere, especially if Coventry went up as that's a club that could really spend well at that level, yet I do not feel any of the clubs going down off the same or similar financial clout, with the possible exception of MK Dons.
Tranmere's budget of supposedly £1,000,000 last time came with a top-up from the sales of Ryan Lowe and Ash Taylor, but this time, more sustainability from sponsors, partners, hotel incomes and possible chines investment should see that budget increased without any player sales to bolster it, or league 1 parachute payments, although 2 playoff match incomes will be of benefit.
All-in-all if Tranmere's intended L2 budget could even exceed the last reported L2 budget by 25%, that would be a decent improvement.
Seem to recall FGR saying getting out of league 2 would be easier than the NL and look were they ended up.
With our increased budget we need to bringing quality into the squad, can't see any of the regular first team wanting to go anywhere.
Looking at the released lists of other clubs there is some quality out there which we will need to snap up asap.
Please no short term loan signings, not after our experience last time in this league.
Fair point but, they managed to stay up.
I would like to think we would be capable of holding our own and a comfortable mid table finish would be fine first season from a personal point of view.
It is are subjective until we see the recruitment and who stays but, with the momentum who knows what lies ahead?
Tollit is an interesting one, feel for the lad but personally I'd move him along if his contract is up. He's been a bit of a sick note, when he first arrived he took a while to settle and ultimately was playing for a contract, not performed since his injuries and never really got a look in at Pompy at a similar level to next season. Personally feel we have no room for sentiment and need fully fit reliable players. On form he's a great addition but there's a massive if next to his name. Davies isn't commanding enough he's a good shot stopper but he's poor commanding the area can can't catch again I'd move him or along or treat him as back up to a new no1. Ridehalgh is great in nothing to games but he's a bottler on the big occasion. Wouldn't be surprised to see Clarke at Wigan but he's not the finished article and his pace got him out of trouble on many occasions when poor positioning or decision making caused problems won't get away with that so much in league 2. Can Cookie cope in League 2 or will he be touting NL clubs as we speak again his been their done that then lost the t-shirt at that level, possibly a gamble. Personally I'd give a go and maybe expect less games goals from him and a bit more hold up play. He's certainly increased the BPM over the last few games. McNulty is another, is NL his level now? another who may be touting NL clubs as we type, Fylde? Do we keep Sutton, is he mobile enough, will lack of pace be his undoing in L2. All big questions for MM.
You've just named 7 players that i feel will almost definitely still be here next season.
Tollitt is contracted to the end of next season also, are we really still talking about Clarke to Wigan? A championship club with 4 first team LBs on their books already.

The Advanced Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robotic System (AEODRS) is a Navy-sponsored acquisition program developing a new generation of open, modular EOD Robotic Systems. This paper describes a common architecture for a family of EOD Robotic Systems including the rationale, development, and decomposition into common physical, electrical, and logical interfaces. The paper further describes the role of an open standard for the interchange of information within unmanned ground vehicle systems. The Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) has enabled the development of the architecture's standards-based interfaces, both at the extra-vehicle controller-interface level, and for the interface and integration of vehicle payloads and subsystems. Finally, the paper explores the contribution of the architecture's common topology, protocols, services and infrastructure to the development of common controllers, payloads and subsystems. Additionally, the effects of the achieved commonality is discussed in terms of reduced field logistics footprint, increased mission flexibility, reduced deployment time for fielding new capabilities, and extended useful design life.

Increasing Passenger Rail Service from Pittsburgh Would Be Costly, Studies Show
Transportation advocates are calling for expanded rail service to the east, but studies indicate the needed infrastructure improvements would be pricey.
September 17, 2019, 7:00 AM PDT
By Camille Fink
BeyondDC / flickr
Ed Blazina reports on the possibility of expanding passenger rail service from Pittsburgh. "Over the years, efforts to increase service from Pittsburgh have ebbed and flowed with studies from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and other groups periodically estimating the cost of more train service. But little has actually happened."
PennDOT is negotiating a new study with Norfolk Southern, notes Blazina. Prior studies have shown that service expansions would come with a hefty price tag. For example, a study completed in June looking at increasing service from Pittsburgh to Altoona to the east would require $1.2 billion for track and station improvements and an additional $3.7 billion if a third track is part of the plan.
Transportation advocates say the projected figures are too high and additional service could be put into place for much less. They also argue that service expansions should focus on broader service areas and connections between large job centers, such as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Location: On a 143-acre parcel near Fremont's Pacific Commons shopping center. It is bordered by Cushing Parkway on the southeast and southwest, the Nimitz Freeway (I-880) on the northeast and Bunche Drive, then Automall Parkway on the northwest.
On November 14, 2006, the Athletics announce they had reached an agreement with Cisco Systems to purchase a 143-acre parcel of land in Fremont, California for the purpose of building a new ballpark there. The ballpark will be named Cisco Field as part of a 30-year naming rights agreement valued at $4 million annually. Cisco's technology will be used to enhance every part of the stadium, including ticketing, concessions and management of game day operations.
Groundbreaking on the project will begin when the A's get approval from the City of Fremont, Alameda County and other government agencies. The estimated cost of the ballpark is between $400-500 million (excluding land) and construction is expected to take between 24 and 36 months. Funding for the ballpark is expected to be a combination of private equity and public assistance.
On August 12, 2005, Athletics owner Lew Wolff proposed building a new ballpark for his team on a site just north of the Coliseum in Oakland. The proposal called for a 35,000-seat ballpark to be built as part of residential and retail park. The A's owners would have paid most of the estimated $300 million to $400 million cost of the park.
Oakland City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente, as well as Coliseum board members, voiced approval for the plan. They said it promised to keep the team in Oakland and be an economic boon for East Oakland. However, De La Fuente favored a site close to downtown and near the Oakland Estuary.
Wolff preferred building the ballpark near the Coliseum because it is near the BART line. He wanted to see another BART station built next to the park, but the Coliseum station would have worked. The area would have to be rezoned for redevelopment, and several business would have to be relocated.
The city of Oakland had a strategy to revitalize its Uptown District, and the Oakland Athletics was a part of it. There appeared to be a consensus emerging on the best place for the Athletics to play, if they stayed in Oakland. Of the seven sites studied in a 2001 report handed out at the Joint Powers Authority (JPA) meeting on December 13, 2001, the most favorable was that in the Uptown District.
Other sites studied were:
Howard Terminal - On the waterfront, west of Jack London Square in Oakland.
Laney College - On a site bound by 8th Street, 5th Avenue, 10th Street and Lake Merritt Channel Park.
9th to Oak - On the waterfront, between Oak Street and 9th Avenue.
Coliseum - In the northwest parking lot.
Fremont - At Fremont Boulevard and South Grimmor Boulevard.
Pleasanton - At the southwest corner of I-580 and El Charro Road.
San Jose has shown interest in bringing the Athletics to a site west of their downtown. The San Jose City Council voted in December 2004 to attempt to acquire the former Del Monte cannery site on Auzerais Avenue near Interstate 280 for a stadium. However, the San Francisco Giants have territorial rights to Santa Clara County, where San Jose is located, and there has been no indication that the team would be willing to give up those rights.
The Giants considered moving to San Jose in the early 1990s, but new ownership opted to build a ballpark in San Francisco instead. Since then, the Sharks NHL team has enjoyed enormous success in San Jose, and many believe it is an indication that a MLB franchise would be successful in the area.

(DESHLER, Neb. – January 24, 2018) – Difficulty filling manufacturing and irrigation jobs are a major problem that faces the manufacturing and irrigation industry. Reinke is on the move to solve the problems of these shortages and create solutions with job training.
A skilled labor shortage is being addressed by providing student scholarships for workforce training for the manufacturing industry. It's crucial to bridge the skills gap, and that's where Reinke Manufacturing's partnership comes into play with the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture (NCTA) in Curtis.
Reinke Manufacturing has teamed with NCTA to offer an Irrigation Technician Area of Concentration. This 34-credit, hands-on program helps students obtain knowledge in electricity and mechanized irrigation systems. Reinke Manufacturing's partnership offers access to the Reinke PLUS Certification program.
Since 2012, Reinke Manufacturing has donated thousands in scholarship funds to students enrolled in NCTA classes focusing on the Irrigation Technician concentration. Reinke Irrigation dealers including Holdrege Irrigation are a key component in the success of this program by providing students the opportunity to set forth a career plan in irrigation.
"Reinke is honored to support students focused on technical skills especially with the shortage of skilled labor," said Reinke President Chris Roth.

Results, Recap, Review of WWE Elimination Chamber 2019
Tonight was an important stop on the Road to Wrestlemania and a historical one as the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships were re-introduced. Elimination Chamber has always been a great way to build towards Wrestlemania. With championships on the line and people looking for spots on the biggest show I had high expectations for this pay-per-view. Before I begin with my thoughts on if my expectations were met here are the results of the Elimination Chamber:
-Preshow: Buddy Murphy defeated Akira Tozawa to retain the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
-Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Mandy Rose/Sonya Deville, Nia Jax/Tamina, The IIconics, The Riott Squad and Carmella/Naomi to win the Women's Tag Team Championships
-The Uso's defeated Shane McMahon and The Miz to win the Smackdown Tag Team Championships
-Finn Balor defeated Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush to win the Intercontinental Championship
-Ronda Rousey defeated Ruby Riott to retain the Raw Women's Championship
-Baron Corbin defeated Braun Strowman
-Daniel Bryan defeated Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy and Samoa Joe to retain the WWE Championship
The opening match of the night was the Women's Tag Team Championship Match inside the Elimination Chamber Match. This match went exactly how I thought it would with the Nia Jax and Tamina coming out last. To no one's surprise Naomi and Carmella were the first team out and followed by that were the IIconics. The final two teams came down to the Sasha Banks and Bayley along with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. These two teams had a really good showing to end the match. I believe Bayley and Sasha Banks are going to have an interesting Road to Wrestlemania and my guess is they will have a big time match at the biggest show of the year. The Miz andis right around the corner so I am intrigued as to where their story goes from. Shane McMahon's story has been a very fun one in recent months. I don't know where they go from here, but I will be looking forward to The Miz and Shane chemistry in the coming week. I am so disappointed in WWE's decision to put the titles on The Uso's again. I don't care who wants to be fired, because in my opinion you don't reward bad behavior. Almost provoking a fight with a police officer is not something that should be rewarded. I really hope their reign is short and teams like Sanity, Heavy Machinery, and The Good Brothers get a chance.
One guy that has deserved to be rewarded has been Finn Balor. He should have had a title over two years ago when he came back from injury. He was the first ever Universal Champion and it's been a long time since he's treated like a champion, a main eventer and held a top spot. I hope he goes into Wrestlemania as Intercontinental Champion and has a classic title match like the championship should have on grandest stage of them all. A match that came together fairly quickly was Ronda Rousey and Ruby Riott, and it ended as quickly as it got put together. I think it's a shame that Ruby wasn't allowed to shine in this match. I know Ronda's the big time attraction, but how are you suppose to build up the Women's Division once Rousey is gone if you have her decimate everyone she faces. After the match was over, all hell broke loose between Rousey, Flair and Lynch. The story with Becky Lynch has been the best story WWE has had in a very long time. I think she along with Flair and Rousey are going to tear the house down at Wrestlemania.
Anytime Braun Strowman gets in the ring something always gets torn apart, but tonight was not a career night for Strowman. The way they have booked Braun Strowman in the last six month has been the worst booking of someone's career I've seen in a very long time. This guy should been WWE Universal Champion for the last two years and it's either been the Brock or Roman show. The fans have been behind Strowman for almost three years now and all he's gotten is a ridiculous one day tag team title run with a ten year old. I really hope they figure out what to do with Strowman really soon. The Main Event was the Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship. The first two men that started were Samoa Joe and Daniel Bryan, and the literally beat the crap out of each other for the first five minutes. Kofi Kingston and AJ Styles came out and got very innovative with the Chamber and used it as a weapon. I was really shocked that Samoa Joe was eliminated first, but then again I put him right up there with how Braun Strowman is being used. Jeff Hardy was the second person eliminated after a sick and twisted Swanton Bomb on AJ Styles. Orton came out last as he, Bryan, Styles and Kingston were the final four in the ring. Styles was eliminated by Orton, then Orton eliminated by Kofi and it came down to Bryan and Kofi. These two went to war and we saw another side of Kofi Kingston that we've never seen before. He's been in WWE for eleven years and he's accomplished it all except the WWE Championship. I truly believe he should have won the title tonight after the impromptu showing he had on Smackdown. I hope this opened everyone's eyes to Kofi Kingston and hope he gets a top tier match at Wrestlemania.
With Elimination Chamber in the books we move on to Fastlane, which is an unnecessary pay-per-view. The WWE should only have one major stop between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. Two pay-per-views in between is overkill and takes away from the importance of the Road to Wrestlemania. Tonight I will have to give a 7 out of 10 because they made a couple of really bad booking decisions. At the same time the right people were put in the spotlight tonight. As we approach Wrestlemania the Road to Wrestlemania will start speedup and the next stop is Fastlane. Hopefully, the people who lost momentum tonight will gain some of it back.

Q: R How to Write Double for Loops and Store Result in a Matrix I would like to store result of X[i,j].
X[i,j] = alpha[i] + beta [j]
I tried writing this double for loop but could not get it to store the result. Appreciate any help here. Thanks!
for (i in length(alpha)) {
  for (j in length(beta)) {
    Xij <- alpha[i] + beta[j]
    matrix[i,j] <- Xij
  }
}

Edit: Is there a more efficient way to do this? The for loop run is taking a long time as the dataset is huge.

A: for (i in 1:length(alpha)) {
  for (j in 1:length(beta)) {
    Xij <- alpha[i] + beta[j]
    matrix[i,j] <- Xij
  }
}

A: If the loop is providing poor performance, you should try the outer statement:
outer(alpha, beta, FUN = `+`)

Q: Anonymous inner Class in Swift In Java I can do the following:
interface SomeCallback {
  void onDone();
}

then I can create a function like this:
void test(SomeCallback callback) {
...
}

To call this function I do:
test(new SomeCallback() {
 @Override
 void done() {
 ...
 }
});

I want to do something similar in Swift. I could create a protocol
protocol SomeCallback : class {
  func done()
}

and a function like this
func test(callback: SomeCallback) {
...
}

I am still struggling with the call of this function.
Edit: Since I use an external API which requires a delegate I cannot use a Closure.
Is it possible to create some kind of anonymous inner class like I did it in the Java example to call test()?

A: Update: If you can't use a closure/function, the direct answer is: no, there are no anonymous inner classes. However, as Mike M points out, you'll have to use a class, and this class may be nested/inner to prevent polluting the global namespace. This class may well have a closure for every method it needs to implement and just call through to those closures.

The Swift-y way of doing this as long as you just need one method is to just use a lambda/closure.
For example, see NSComparator, which is typealiased since it is used all over the place and you are meant to recognize it.
In your example, specifying a function type inline will do fine. So for example:
func test(callback: () -> Void) {
    ...
    callback()
}

// called as:
test({ in
    ...
})

// or even (since it's the last parameter)
test { in
    ...
}

A: Just to clarify the syntax because what you wrote is a little confusing.
@objc protocol SomeCallback {
    func done() -> Void
}

No need to inherit from class as you wrote. Also, don't forget the @objc even if you do not want to bridge the protocol to that language. It helps with compiler complaints later on (might be a bug at the moment)
You cannot instantiate a protocol in Swift. You can however have an internal class that inherits from NSObject (root object) and implements this.
class External: NSObject {

    class Internal : SomeCallback {
        func done() {
            // does something
        }
    }
    let int = Internal()

    func test(callback : SomeCallback) {
        // additional work
        callback.done()
    }
}

Book Review: Spare Change by Robert B. Parker
A Sunny Randal novel
When a serial killer dubbed the Spare Change Killer shows up in Boston after a thirty year hiatus, retired cop Randall is brought into the task force, since he had been the lead investigator during the earlier killings. He asks his daughter, Sunny, to join him in cracking the murder. Sunny was also a police officer before she quit the force to become a private investigator. He feels that her sharp mind and keen eye will be a large asset in stopping any further murders. She is delighted to work with her father, whom she adores, and to help him put to rest a case that has haunted him for so long. They catch a lucky break early in the murders by closing off a park while the killer is still inside the crowd of people. When interviewed, the man becomes intrigued with Sunny and allows a cat and mouse game to begin between them. Within the layers of this story is the development of an understanding of what makes Sunny tick, who the killer is and why he kills, as well as an exploration of family dynamics. This is a fairly easy book to read and enjoyable for anyone interested in lightly delving into the psyche of people who are less than stable. Parker is skilled at drawing images of his characters, which allow you to feel that you know who they are, as well as giving insight into people in your own life who are similar. I enjoyed this book very much.

Snowdrop walks in Hampshire that will make you believe spring is just around the corner
Roll out the white carpet – nine places where you can see the pretty flowers while taking a pleasant stroll
Look forward to spring with a snowdrop walk (Image: PA)
Have you seen any yet? Tiny white flowers in your borders peeping out above the frosty earth?
Snowdrops are one of the first harbingers of spring and already they are appearing in Hampshire gardens. As the days start to get longer, they pop out whatever the weather to show off their simple beauty.
If you're a snowdrops fan – and there are many – the good news is that there are plenty of places in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight to view them in all their glory. Muddy Stilettos has put together a list of places you can walk and be blown away by the beauty of this humble little flower.

Snowdrops with a walk in Hampshire
The Vyne, Basingstoke
The National Trust's very own Tudor mansion is prime hunting ground for the white blooms. Spot them from just outside the carpark to the walled garden and into Morgaston Wood. Gardens open 10am-4pm (last entry 3pm).
Little Court, Crawley, nr. Winchester
This pretty little three-acre walled garden just outside Winchester is protected from the elements and something for all seasons. Find out when to go on the National gardens Scheme website.
Mottisfont (Image: HampshireLive)
Mottisfont, Romsey
Another National Trust beauty, Mottisfont just outside of Romsey comprises of a historical priory, garden and country estate. There are also hidden brooks and plenty of hiding places for snowdrops to spring from.
Located near the River Test, it's well known for its gardens. Time it right, and you'll find plenty of snowdrops running along its pretty river walk.
Harold Hillier Gardens, Romsey
Also in Romsey, Harold Hillier Gardens has over 20 different varieties of snowdrops. With one of the largest Winter Gardens in Europe, its well worth a visit if you live nearby.
Gilbert White's House, Selborne
Home of the famed naturalist, it makes sense that flowers would be a big part of Gilbert White's appeal. Its annual Snowdrop Weekend (check website for dates) has half-price house and garden admission all weekend.
Chawton House (Image: James Bentley / Chawton House)
Chawton House, Alton
As well as being a spot that champions top female writers and, of course, is synonymous with Jane Austen, Chawton also boasts a rather spectacular planting of snowdrops. Visit the gardens on Snowdrop Sundays in February for snowdrop tours and snowdrop-themed kids' trails, taking in the wonderful white blossoms on the South Lawn.
Hinton Ampner, near Alresford
With oodles of parkland and carefully coiffed gardens, Hinton Ampner is a sight to behold at any time of the year. But, as you can imagine, with snowdrop season upon us, it gets a whole lot more magical.
Look out for them beneath the trees on the East Lawn. You can even take the dog along for this walk – just make sure he doesn't dig any up.
Pil l ey Hill Cottage, Lymington
Another gorgeous garden in the south of the county, with snowdrops aplenty. If you've a well-behaved pooch, they are welcome here too.
Snowdrops with a walk on the Isle of Wight
Alverstone, near Sandown
With so much of the Wight being unspoilt, it's often quite easy to spot little clusters of snowdrops dotted around. Follow the trail around Alverstone to find the blooms and also keep your eyes open for the native Red Squirrels who are active, even at this time of year.

Here are a few items that appeared at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Check YouTube for online demos.
— "R2-D2 Moving Refrigerator" means no more walking to the refrigerator to get your cold soda, it comes to you by remote control. Made by Haier, it's a faithful replica of the R2-D2 "droid" in the movie "Star Wars." It's a little over three feet high and can store six average cans. Its battery lasts two hours on a single charge. No pricing info yet.
— The "HOM-BOT Turbo+" from LG is a robotic vacuum cleaner that comes with "augmented reality technology." In plain English, you can talk to it. If some areas need more cleaning than others, you can crack the whip — "sweep harder" — and it will obey.
— Smart TVs from LG will have a "magic zoom" that increases the size of text and pictures without distortion. (What does that caption say?) Also, find out what's happening on ten of your favorite channels without leaving your current screen.

I am proud to announce the re-release of Source Love, the revised edition. I am in the process currently of writing the companion handbook.
"That which I have to offer you has the capacity to change you from the inside out.
The integrity of my love assists creation to awaken to itself and to awaken to new life. All of life participates within an energetic process as that which is Spirit has taken on form.
you open the windows of perception to see, feel and experience that there is so much more to reality than meets the eye.
You as a unit of consciousness, quicken within your form and you become an alive and open system.
What this means has very important implications for life upon this plane at this auspicious time."
Make sure to download the reader (similar as with a pdf file), and then you can download a copy of Source Love or any other of our ebooks.
I felt that this message really conveys what we have been experiencing and perceiving to be true and being it is articulated so well...felt to pass it along.
Elders Mtg/March, Reuniting Eagle & Condor/ PLUS RECENT UPDATE!
We were told last November from an Elder (2nd paragraph under first message), who communicated to us on the inner planes, that a meeting was being planned that would be announced in February/March. The enclosed article is announcing that meeting of the Elders in Peru.
This date is very important, and we are asked to organize meetings in synchronization with the Elders meeting. Please read the article below.
In response to Heidi's October posting…at her personal (b)log, one so timely for me to come upon tonight…What I've been thinking Heidi inspired me to share....the following. And at first I hadn't seen that she in fact did the same...instead of replying to another post, like me, Heidi wrote her piece in her log. I started to make a comment and it grew into a movement…fit for this space. Thank you for being here Heidi in this virtual NCN place!!
The sea was active then for sure...and I believe that activity is tied to what led the whales to beach...that day.
Pacific Rim of Fire Very Active at this time!
Paul Levy has written a new book and it looks as though it is really brilliant given this excerpt of pages in pdf file below.
This guy is so funny and articulate, he has got it nailed down to a BIG T! It looks as though he has studied POP (Process Oriented Psychology with Arnold Mindell), I see Arnold's comment on Paul's website and he utilizes many of the same terms and ways of perceiving life. I studied some of that system and its very powerful indeed.
Gosh and I thought her last newsletter was powerful! This is rich!
I wrote Caroline about her last newsletter, and I know that my words had an impact - I can feel it in the words she shares this round...the truth ever more powerful than previously. I feel her words fortifying me in terms of a deepening trust in the power of love as it expresses more potently through certain of my brothers and sisters in support of more light present to meet the dark night that is intensifying, especially in America. Wow! Goon on ya mate!
Mercury Goes Retrograde - Powerful Time!
I came across this wonderful Astrologer today and am very pleased because I experience her intuition and astrological knowledge to be very in tune with Source wisdom. Her updates look to be very informing, nourishing and supportive! Enjoy!
To have a blind eye, a deaf ear, or a closed mind and heart to what is being perpetrated surely will bring more severe consequences just as happens in an abusive closed family system.

I felt it important to share her message here. I also wrote to her this evening sharing my thoughts, feelings and many important links as they relate to many of her points. I may choose to share that response at a later time here in NCN.
Various topics written by Alana Tobin speak to the dynamics of the collective consciousness shifts taking place from the mid 90's to the present. Submissions from 2002 onward, were written primarily to be shared in community with NCN members.
Previous articles from the 90's were published in a local newspaper, "The Edge," a paper exploring the evolution of consciousness.

@INTERACTIONSMAG 70 INTERACTIONS JANUARY–FEBRUARY2019 FORUM THE NEXT BILLION
PROACTIVELY ADDRESS FAIRNESS IN DATA SKEWS
As Internet access is still emerging in the Global South, there can be substantial differences in the demographics of who can and cannot come online. In environments where most of the audience and authors are from majority user groups, online curation biases toward them— whether it's curation by a human, a social network, or an algorithm.
Optimizing for the total user base will inherently disenfranchise any minority group. Machine learning, which is increasingly used in feeds, searches, and recommendations, typically uses large annotated datasets to train its algorithms. But when specific user groups are underrepresented, training data does not come in equal numbers from them.
Take the case of women— two-thirds of countries around the world have more men than women online [ 4]; in India, only 29 percent of women are online [ 5]. If the amount of training data from women is not equal to that from men, the resulting curation bias will produce algorithms that favor men. Men's attributes may therefore be overrepresented relative to their real-world prevalence, and their content preferences—assumed based on time spent, up votes, down votes, searches, or shares—can influence content recommendations such as image detection, recommendations, or suggested actions. Although certain content may exist, recommendation engines might not suggest it because the group's interests have been down-weighted by algorithms that optimize for total popularity. Semantic mismatches between how platforms and users describe content also add to the challenge of finding relevant content.
Boosting the training data through targeted crowdsourcing, partnerships with community organizations, training the models to account for bias, and reinterpreting queries through the lens of how the community might search could all lead to reduced bias.
At the same time, the specific privacy
needs and concerns of each of these
groups must be taken into account
and respected throughout any data-
collection process.
familiarity and data-literacy realities,
raising important research questions
about explainability across differing
literacy levels. As new technology
users are poised to be at the receiving
end of new AI systems for microloans,
healthcare, and education, explaining
the decision making should help
provide recourse to users and force
developers to create unbiased, less
discriminatory models, especially when
the stakes are high.
Transparency and control are other
equally important principles for new
technology users. Knowing what types
of personal data are gathered, how
that data is used, and how to control
the system's functioning are essential
elements for people to feel in control of
the AI systems they use. Without them,
people can create elaborate and often
inaccurate models of how an AI system
works and subsequent workarounds.
For example, Shaina of Kanpur, India, reported how when she watches a risqué video, she finds it difficult to control the platform's recommendations; instead, she "searches for five to six other videos on different topics" to stop the site from recommending more risqué videos. While Shaina understands that her inputs affect the outputs, how can she have a better understanding and control over the system's recommendations, instead of resorting to complex workarounds?

Distracted driving. Cell phone use and texting are a well-documented risk factor for motor vehicle crashes. According to a recent report by the state department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Florida ranks second worst in the nation for distracted driving. In 2016, there were nearly 50,000 crashes related to distracted driving, and these accounted for 233 deaths and more than 3,500 serious injuries.
Impaired driving. Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs, or even prescription medications can lead to death and injury.
Driving tired can be just as dangerous as operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, according to safety experts.
Driver behavior. Other common driver behaviors such as speeding, failure to assure a clear stopping distance, changing lanes abruptly, or road rage are all contributing factors in Pass-a-Grille car accidents.
Defective cars or automobile parts. Sometimes, car accidents can give rise to product liability claims against a vehicle's manufacturer, such as an accident caused by a faulty steering column.
Defective roadway design. In some cases, a motor vehicle accident may give rise to a personal injury claim against the government, especially when a poorly maintained roadway, unclear road markings, or an inherently dangerous road design causes an accident. In fact, a recent Washington Post report found half of all fatal accidents involve a poorly designed or maintained roadway.
Senior driving behavior. Florida is home to the most senior citizens per capita in the country – about one in 20 citizens are over the age of 65. The elderly tend to have poorer vision, slower reaction times and can contribute to serious accidents.
If you or a loved one suffered harm in a Pass-a-Grille car accident, you need guidance from an experienced Pass-a-Grille Car Accident Lawyer. Contact Bulluck Law Group to arrange your free case evaluation today.
After a car accident in Pass-a-Grille, you may have legal grounds for a personal injury claim. These claims compensate for medical bills, lost wages, and the ongoing costs of your rehabilitation and care. They also provide reimbursement for intangible losses such as pain, suffering, and any loss of life quality.
Did another driver owe you a duty of care? The answer is most commonly "yes," as drivers owe a duty of care to all other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
When a driver breaches their duty of care (such as by committing a traffic violation), it's called "committing negligence." In a legal sense, we say someone commits negligence when he or she fails to act in a manner that another reasonable person would.
Next, you must show a driver's negligence directly led to your injuries.
Lastly, you must show you suffered damages as a result, such as medical bills or missed work.
If all of the following elements apply, you likely have legal grounds for a car accident case. Most people don't realize that a car accident claim requires guidance from an experienced personal injury attorney, thinking that their insurance companies will handle it all. Unfortunately, these companies do not have your best interests at heart. Contact a car accident attorney who can protect your right to fair compensation today.
Florida is one of a handful of states that observes a "no-fault" system when it comes to car accidents. The main advantage of this system is that you do not have to prove someone was negligent in order to collect compensation for your medical bills – you can simply file a claim with your own Personal Injury Protection (PPO) policy. On the other hand, this limits your ability to sue another party for negligence.
In certain cases, you may be able to step outside of the no-fault system and file a traditional car accident claim. This generally applies to cases of serious or incapacitating injury and highlights the need for an experienced Pass-a-Grille Car Accident Lawyer.
Any injury requiring extensive medical care or an inpatient hospital stay.
After a Florida car accident, contact a Pass-a-Grille car accident attorney as soon as possible. Remember, consultations are always free, so a Pass-a-Grille Car Accident Lawyer will be able to tell you in a risk-free meeting if you qualify for a personal injury claim.
What is the total of my current and future medical expenses? Serious and debilitating injuries allow you to step outside the Florida no-fault system.
How serious are my injuries? How will it affect my quality of life?
Did my car accident occur within the scope of my job duties? If so, you may be able to file a workers' compensation claim.
Will I need to buy a new car?
One of the main advantages of filing a car accident claim against an at-fault driver is compensation for both material and immaterial losses. Your PIP coverage may kick in to cover your medical bills, but a serious injury may cause you to exceed your policy limits. Additionally, PIP does not allow you to gain compensation for general damages such as pain, suffering, or loss of life quality. A personal injury attorney can help ensure that you receive reimbursement for your total losses, which may be monetary or non-monetary.
Bulluck Law Group is one of the most experienced firms in Pass-a-Grille. We will handle your car accident case with the compassion and attention to detail it deserves. If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries or a wrongful death in a Pass-a-Grille car accident, contact one of our Pass-a-Grille Car Accident Lawyers and schedule a free case evaluation today. We can help defend your right to full compensation for your injuries, pain, suffering, and more.

We have now been to Volt's Family Meal in Frederick twice. It's such a cute place, but as you can see ordering coffee & getting the little metal cream milk box charms me every time. Bryan Voltaggio is the co-owner and executive chef of four restaurants including VOLT, Lunchbox, Family Meal and RANGE. We ate at Volt for my husband's work Christmas dinner and while that was lovely and fancy, I enjoy the laid back atmosphere at Family Meal. Last time we were there with a bunch of Tom's co-workers and the chef sent out complimentary bourbon sticky buns with walnut praline. At that point I was too full to even try them, but they looked amazing. Can't wait to go back again!
Tagged food, local. Bookmark the permalink.
We need to put this one the list for "places to eat together".
Those are really sweet! I have heard about Volt before, but not this other restaurant. I will have to check it out if I am ever in the area.
Can we have a lunch date there? I just read the menu and it sounds yummy!
Susan, You should, we liked it a lot!
Katie, yep lets go! I'm surprised Chris hasn't already taken you!
Those milk cartons are cute!
One of my favs. Wasn't until our last meal there that I realized the tables don't include salt and pepper — everything is so perfectly prepared there's no need for it!
Lesley, Oh that's so funny! I never even noticed that!

News: The RSC launch Sonnets in Solitude
The Royal Shakespeare Company have announced Sonnets in Solitude, a selection of Shakespeare's sonnets self-recorded by RSC actors while in lockdown.
Many of the actors were working with the RSC at the time of the theatre's temporary closure on 17 March and have been unable to perform or rehearse since.
RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran said,
"The sonnets are so intimate, confidential and direct, and watching them being performed in this way captures that immediately. Perhaps after 400 years, the form has finally found its ideal format".
The RSC will release 90 of the 154 sonnets over the coming weeks which will be available to view via the RSC's You Tube channel Miles Jupp, Alexandra Gilbreath, Antony Sher, Emma Fielding and Rosie Sheehy are just some of the actors involved in Sonnets in Solitude.

TV Review: The Crown Series 3
Series 3 of The Crown sees new actors in across the board but Olivia Colman is sadly no Claire Foy. Helena Bonham Carter rocks though
"Sometimes duty requires one to put personal feelings…
'And frivolity"
Doing little to dispel rumours that she isn't a Time Lord, The Crown takes its cues from Doctor Who as Series 3 sees the Queen regenerate from Claire Foy to Olivia Colman. And not just that, the whole cast of main players has been replaced as this new company will take us through the next couple of series. It's a clever move, considering the spain of history that the show takes but it is also a little sad to lose such excellent performances as Vanessa Kirby's Princess Margaret, Victoria Hamilton's Queen Mum, Alex Jennings and Lia Williams as Edward and Wallis and of course, Foy's exceptional work.
Series 3 then, takes us from 1964 to 1977, featuring such notable events as the Aberfan tragedy, the moon landing and the arrival of Camilla in Charles' life. And with its many millions and pick of the white acting talent in this country, it remains eminently watchable. That said, something has shifted for me and it just doesn't feel as effective as the first two seasons. A large element of this is the way series creator and main writer Peter Morgan has structured the show, choosing to maintain a massive ensemble of recurring characters but keeping the focus, and turnover, of episodes relentlessly tight.

Review: The Norman Conquests, Chichester Festival Theatre
"I've learned though bitter experience that the last thing to do with Norman is take him seriously. That's exactly what he wants."
What to do with theatre vouchers? Trying to find the kind of theatrical experience that I might not normally have splashed out on isn't always the easiest, so Chichester Festival Theatre's announcement that their staging of Alan Ayckbourn's The Norman Conquests would be in the round, and that onstage 'terrace' seating would be available, a plan fell into place. And so for two of the three plays, I was up onstage (in different seats) and for the third, down in the stalls.
Seeing the plays from different perspectives felt appropriate as that is the nature of Ayckbourn's trilogy written in 1973. Three times we visit the same group of six characters over the same weekend but based in a different part of the house. So (in the order I saw them on this trilogy day, a couple of days before press night I should add), Table Manners is set in the dining room, Living Together in the living room, and Round and Round the Garden is in the attic*.

The Universe was not always like it is today. Before the Universe was filled with light, it was a dark and lifeless place. This era, the dark ages, ended with the birth of the first stars.
When the first star was born, the Universe was changed dramatically. As these first stars continued their lives, they filled the Universe with light and a variety of elements. They came together to form galaxies. Eventually, the Universe was transformed into the place we know it as today.
Luckily for us, because light travels at a finite speed, when we look farther away, we are actually looking back in time. Therefore, just by pointing our telescopes at the skies, we can learn about our own history, our own origins. Can we look far enough back to see these first stars?
Today Dr. Harish Vedantham joins us on the podcast. Harish is an astronomer at the Netherlands Institute of Radio Astronomy and works at a radio array called LOFAR – the Low-Frequency Array. LOFAR is a huge radio "telescope", composed of antenna spread out all over Europe. LOFAR hopes to see the signal that these first stars imprint in the gas surrounding them. It's possible that this signal has already been seen just recently with an experiment called EDGES.
We discuss ways we can see these stars, how difficult the observation is, and how astronomers can take a very faint signal and use it to surmise what these first stars were like. We also talk about how science is different than what you see in the movies – it takes a lot of time, hard work, and patience to trust your results. It's a fun episode with a lot of good science – and hopefully you'll walk away with more of an understanding of our cosmic origins.


The Supreme Court has postponed to May 1 the hearing on Dileep's plea for the memory card, crucial evidence in the actor abduction and assault case. The court put off the hearing on the request by the State Government as the lawyer expressed inconvenience in appearing in April.
Dileep's lawyer requested the court not to book him in the case till the Supreme Court pronounced the verdict on his plea. But, the government lawyer did not respond to this request at the court which would mean freeze on the framing of charges against Dileep till the court pronounces its verdict.
Dileep said the visuals on the memory card were edited. He also expressed suspicion about a woman's voice in the visuals. He wanted access to the memory card for scientific examination.
