Yesterday evening I attempted to answer a few C Sharp questions from the same young lady who always looks to me for any help. Then she ends up figuring it out mostly on her own! You can do anything you set your mind to.
I totally vibe with this Gothic girl, and you all should remember that it's not about what someone does, it's about who they are at the core. If you make a million dollars and you're preppy or have pale pink Adidas and pearl earrings, but I'm not vibing with you, what does it matter how you look?
The funniest thing all day to me was when she RAN through the lab (loud stomps) in her big platform shoes, I mean it was funny but not in a bad way…just interesting. I was in a serious moment with a Java tutor whose name no one can pronounce, so we shorten it to "Jayanth" and he calls curly braces "Flower Braces" so now I intend to call them that ALL the time just to annoy other Developers. It does, trust me. I started laughing when I heard her running even through the closed steel door, and then saw her black hair and black corset whisk by outside of the indoor window separating one room from another.
I swear one second she was sitting next to me, and then all of a sudden GONE as she must have remembered something that was urgent. Just laughing but with all respect, and I told her to her face she was funny…I hope I graduate on the same day as her because there is nobody better.
Tip of the Day: Physics is also part of Game Developing and we even use settings like "kinematic". Position, Velocity, Inertia, Forces. You are typing these things subconsciously at this point. You just type the lines of code, but do it with purpose and don't make mistakes.

« "Internet of Things" is Getting Some More Critics | Main | More Criticism on the Internet of Things -- But the Problem Isn't Just the State, It's the Coders »
Hackers Dump UDID's from i-Phones; Real Life Replicates Second Life
Your eye-phone is spying on you... (C) Photo by Catherine A. Fitzpatrick
So it seems Anti-Sec (not to be confused with LulzSec, whose members are supposed to be mainly arrested), a spinoff of the Anonymous hackers' movement, is claiming that they have leaked a million unique iphone identifiers that the FBI had stashed on a laptop because....because the government is the problem, see, not anonymous unethical hackers. So in order to prove that the government is evil, these hackers had to expose what the FBI supposedly had obtained but was keeping secret -- thereby harming a million people and subjecting them to harassment, identity theft -- or perhaps just a minor nuisance, who knows.
Oh, except maybe the FBI never had these million UDIDs, as the unique device IDs are known, and it's merely the hackers (hardly a credible source) saying they took it from the FBI to frame them, and "make a point". See, the government *could* get them, so people should be, um, more aware...or something.
LAZY TECH PRESS
Half the tech press reported this straight off Pastebin as it was tweeted or IM'd them, and didn't bother to do the basic journalistic due diligence to at least check with the FBI. Slate, which is more of a journalists' outfit, although the first of the new media online publications long before Huffpo, at least asked the FBI about it -- and got the answer that no, they had no knowledge of this breach. Well, they would say that because they aren't to be trusted, right?
Except, I trust the FBI a lot more than I trust a lot of unethical hackers. The FBI has training, procedures, and congressional inquiries to face, unlike anonymous neckbeared coders who enjoy the thrill of others' suffering.
RWW took the usual hack-friendly line of all the tech press -- this big data dump was a kind of "service" that helped "get attention" to an issue that coders had "long" been warning about. Except...it's not any service to anybody. Apple already "got the message" and was slowly "deprecating" it, but obviously found it difficult to wind down because it was usual with ap functioning and market-data scraping.
AND PANIC-MONGERING GEEKS...
Chris Sogohoian-- who else? the boy darling of the privacy circuit these days -- ranted santimoniously about all this -- but wait. As the geeks will be the first to tell you, this serial number -- that's all it is, really -- is not by itself that big a deal. At the demand of a developer or a customer service agent, you use an ap or you go to i-tunes to get it. It's "there" and easy to get.
It's a big deal only in combination with other things like passwords. And how were they going to get those? Well, they would have to hack those, too, unles they happened to hack Slate.com and find that your user password there was the same as your i-phone.
THE INTERNET IS NOT SPECIAL
Truly, the UDID on your phone is like your phone number, which the FBI might easily get as well. The fact is, when they are pursuing a case, they collect data. They might get an eyewitness account that is unique; they might get a description of a suspect; they might get clues. It's just another clue or marker, at the end of the day, like "Male Caucasian, residing on Main Street". Supposedly it would take "longer" for a telecom to provide to the FBI the information that would come with a telephone number than the UDID-related info. But wait a minute. Huh? You would still have to go to the telephone service provider to link up the activity associated with that UDID. And remember, that hated and mistrusted FBI has to make its case; it has to use procedures if not warrants in gathering this intelligence for a legitimate purpose that will stand up in court. Remember? Court?
Nextweb was trying to be all "news you can use" with this, failing to report the FBI's disclaimer or to probe more about the Anti-Sec claim, and providing a "helpful tutorial" on how you could find your own UDID number and then check a list of the stolen ones. They warn this list access on their site isn't secure, but of course, tons of people *will* check it, out of paranoia. And that means that they now, on their website, have all those people's UDIDs associated with their IP addresses and cookies. So now instead of the Anonymous problem, we have also various tech blogs having the same information. You're sure they're going to dump it? You're sure it won't be hacked itself?
UNHELPFUL TUTORIAL AND HELPFUL AP
The tutorial that is supposed to be "simple" and adopts a breezy but patronizing tone with the user in fact doesn't work. It doesn't work if you don't have 10.5 or later as your i-tunes version, and if, like me, you constantly have trouble with i-tunes patches downloading and updating properly, and failing constantly, you won't be able to get the later version. If you don't have that later version, the screenshots won't look the same -- you won't have "device". In fact, you'll get an error message telling you to update your i-tuns because it can't find the device, even when plugged into your computer. Sigh.
Well, like all things tech, just Google it to see if you can find some other "helpful tutorial" and see what else is there. Surely there has to be a way to find your own UDID number without futzing around with i-tunes patches. And it turns out there are two aps that enable you to do this and email yourself. I chose the first one, called Ad Hoc Helper, developed by Erica Sadun, an i-phone app developer (if that sounds like a redundant description, it is, and that's all you often can find out about an app engineer).
I caught up with @EricaSadun on Twitter, asking her if her ap "phoned home". Did it send her or her servers or her company the same UDID it was sending me on email? Or was it just code that grabbed it off the hardware and emailed it to wherever I said, and only there?
I never worry about appearing stupid and clueless when it comes to tech, because like Columbo, you have to just keep asking questions, even seemingly stupid ones, to get answers, especially about things like this with privacy and power implications.
Erica answered very quickly that no, she "didn't see" the information, it just went to the email you yourself typed in. I pressed. I have learned to press, from dealing with the coders of third-party viewers in Second Life, which phone home, and with many other things in and around SL -- where this sort of story was first prototyped, now to be replicated and enacted in real life.
Erica's prompt and efficient answer: "@ericasadun @catfitz nope. I see nothing, copy nothing, serve nothing."
It's my new favourite tweet, and evidence that sometimes, dealing with girl coders is better. They answer the question and reassure the user, instead of being nasty, as a male geek would have undoubtedly been.
SECOND LIFE PROTOTYPES REAL LIFE
Like they were when we all asked this question about the avatar's unique identifier, known in Second Life as the UUID.
The early edition of Anonymous -- w-hat -- active back in 2004-2005 on this issue grabbed these UUIDs from avatars without their consent by using scripts that had code functions they probably casually obtained from Linden Lab itself, the makers of SL, which has a whole bevy of such hackers surrounding it in its open source cult.
We were told over and over again that these UUIDs were not a big deal, would not cause any harm, and we should stop fussing over them. The Internet is not special (only coders are). Um, so what was the point in grabbing and publishing them and causing panic and havoc? Well, to out people's privacy and show the power of hackers, of course.
And in fact they *could* cause harm. Because you could use them to track people's movements, their purchases, and worst of all, for some people, their proximity to others. An SL wristwatch with this reporting capacity that was popular for awhile (and much-defended by the open-source goons) also drew fury from the wider user population. They didn't care if these numbers on their avatars couldn't be used to find them in real life; they didn't want them grabbed and manipulated -- full stop.
APPLE DEPRECATES UDID
Interestingly, the geeks in real life have had to sing a different tune on this. They didn't snort and disclaim it as somehow unimportant. First of all Apple, which is a responsible computer firm and not a hacker collective, under pressure of the concerns about privacy and identity theft involved in harvesting UDIDs, decided to "deprecate" them. "Deprecate" is software-speak for "we plan to get rid of this unnecessary or outdated or disliked thing, but not right away, well, it's on our to-do list". Obviously, they're still on every new i-phone sold still and still accessible, so they aren't so deprecated, der. But the aps making use of them -- which of course, where the real bonanza was, as it always is, were told they would be "deprecated" and they would have to find new ways of capturing customers' unique data.
And all those ap engineers out there are just like the conscientious Erica, eh? They all see nothing, copy nothing, serve nothing, right? Right?
The haste with which the tech publications all put these Pastebin lists up on line -- and became part of the problem and risks themselves to privacy as they encouraged people to part with their UDID in a panic checking the lists -- lets us know just how much they really "care". They don't. As geeks, they think UDIDs are nothing, like phone numbers. In fact, they're more like social security numbers in that they tie up to people's banking, purchases online, orders, etc. etc.
BLAME THE FBI AND DISTRACT FROM THE HACKERS
Says Slate:
Even if the information can't necessarily be used to track movements or log GPS locations, as the hackers have themselves claimed, it's difficult to think of any justification the FBI or another government agency could have for storing it. According to Soghoian, "If the database is in the possession of law enforcement, it is quite likely that the majority of the people on it have committed no crime and have no business being on any law enforcement database."
Oh, stop it. Of course it can be used to track movements and GPS locations if it ties to aps to do that, derr. But on the other hand, you stop it, too, Soghoian, because just like law enforcement can make use of public telephone books and the willingness of citizens to provide unique physical descriptions, so, too, will they make use of things like this. Soghoian isn't bitching about "smart city" and the "Internet of Things" or Anonymous, which caused this problem; he's bitching about the FBI, which didn't.
Look, Larry Page wants us to have brain implants (remember how we thought the problem of the Transhumanists is that they wanted to upload their brain to the Internet? well, Larry wants to first implant your brain to be wired to the Internet -- sort of the download/upload distinction.) And you're worried about the FBI, which in fact has caught LulzSec and other hackers who are the originators of this harm?
We really need to have our heads on straight about this story: the problem isn't the FBI or the government keeping information which they use in legitimate criminal investigations. If you think they don't have legitimate cases, call your lawyer or the ACLU, and let's hear the actual use cases, you know? If they have to scan through databases for key words or proximity data, which is not the same thing as perusing your individual file when you aren't a suspect, how is that different than showing a crime victim a physical book of photos? It's not. Let's get over ourselves here, please, and stop pretending as always that the Internet is special -- and affords a chance for power-mongers to have more power.
HOW REALLY WILL OUR PRIVACY BE SECURED?
Of course, there are things you can try to do to protect yourself, like going outside without your cell phone in your hand, you know? But people will not go back to those off-grid days. So eventually, we will evolve law that will treat the cell phone -- and the avatar, and the other digitalized artifacts of ourselveS online -- as part of the legal person and maybe even physical person. If we were to log on with our finger prints -- in physicality -- the entire layer owned by geeks now as the logon-o-sphere -- would disappear. No doubt there would be cries about the "government," but your email would sure have a lot harder time being hacked if it required your finger print to access it, you know?
What happened in Second Life to the list of UUIDs and the constant tracking that went with them? Some merchants who confessed to harvesting these were able to track hot spots and plan their sales and merchandising accordingly and spam people more. People lost their privacy again and again, especially with the outing of alt accounts and proximity data they didn't want revealed, not only with the UUID track but the harvesting of the IP addresses (and please don't start nattering to me about how they are "dynamic" -- they either a) aren't or b) are, but in a range, that makes them still identifiable as to place).
So yes, it was a nuisance or even real distress, but you know what? In part, this havoc depended on the ability of w-hat to maintain that webpage with all those addresses, and to keep collecting more with scripts and scripted prims they had people touch. Who knows how they got mine. But in the end, they didn't keep this site going. It cost money, it was effort, and even obsessive griefers get tired of their antics. They let it go.
Today, there are scripted objects that take avatars' UUIDs to serve them, i.e. with a vendor or a magazine subscription or a rental box, but they don't then archive or broadcast it (although some do). For example in my system with an open source rental script, an "ap" if you will, the UUID is taken to establish the payment and expiration, but it doesn't collect anywhere or send itself to me. In fact, you can go and see it on the box itself, if you go to the trouble of looking, but few would bother in a sea of millions of such items. And it could likely be scripted so it didn't do that.
Do Apple developers sign codes of ethics the way Facebook engineers have to? Surely they must -- I just haven't seen the page (Facebook has one). Apple screens aps, and that's a good thing. They didn't let through the ap to track drone strikes (presumably merely from press reports) because they likely felt it was too politicized or even a threat to security. And that's ok. Some other service provide can provide that ap along with the Intifada ap and all the other crap. There must be diversity, and it's a good thing that Apple maintains some kind of principles and order.Does that mean they are perfect protectors of our privacy? Um, no. But then, it's Anonymous that's the problem, remember? And nobody grew "stronger" because they did this -- only they did.

The first aspect is one's power of expression. In a group discussion, a candidate has to talk effectively so that he is able to convince others. For convincing, one has to speak forcefully and at the same time create an impact by his knowledge of the subject. A candidate who is successful in holding the attention of the audience creates a positive impact.
It is necessary that you should be precise and clear. As a rule evaluators do not look for the wordage produced. Your knowledge on a given subject, your precision and clarity of thought are the things that are evaluated. Irrelevant talks lead you nowhere. You should speak as much as necessary, neither more nor less. Group discussions are not debating stages.
Ability to listen is also what evaluators judge. They look for your ability to react on what other participants say. Hence, it is necessary that you listen carefully to others and then react or proceed to add some more points. Your behavior in the group is also put to test to judge whether you are a loner or can work in a group.
You should be able to convey your thoughts satisfactorily and convincingly before a group of people. Confidence and level headedness in doing so is necessary. These add value to your presentation. In case you are not good at it, you might gain by joining an institute that offers specialized courses in public speaking. For instance, British Council Division's English Language Teaching Centre offers a wide range of courses like conversation skills, business communication skills, business writing, negotiation skills and presentation skills. Mostly people attend these courses to improve their communication skills. Students here are involved in activities which use communication skills and teachers provide inputs, monitor and facilitate the classes. The course at the Centre makes you confident enough to speak before people without any nervousness.
Knowledge of the subject under discussion and clarity of ideas are important. Knowledge comes from consistent reading on various topics ranging from science and technology to politics. In-depth knowledge makes one confident and enthusiastic and this in turn, makes one sound convincing and confident.
The basic aim of a group discussion is to judge a candidate's leadership qualities. The examiner withdraws and becomes a silent spectator once the discussion starts. A candidate should display tactfulness, skill, understanding and knowledge on varied topics, enterprise, forcefulness and other leadership qualities to motivate and influence other candidates who may be almost equally competent.
A group discussion is an exchange of thoughts and ideas among members of a group. These discussions are held for selecting personnel in organisations where there is a high level of competition. The number of participants in a group can vary between 8 and 15. Mostly a topic or a situation is given to group members who have to discuss it within 10 to 20 minutes.
The purpose is to get an idea about candidates in a short time and make assessments about their skills, which normally cannot be evaluated in an interview. These skills may be team membership, leadership skills, listening and articulation skills.
A note is made of your contributions to the discussion, comprehension of the main idea, the rapport you strike, patience, assertion, accommodation, amenability, etc. Body language and eye contact too are important points which are to be considered. .
In a group discussion it is not necessary to address anyone by name. Even otherwise you may not know everyone's names. It better to address the group as a whole.
Address the person farthest from you. If he can hear you everyone else too can. Needless to add, as for the interview, attend the group discussion in formal dress. The language used should also be formal, not the language used in normal conversations. For instance, words and phrases like "yar", "chalta hai", "CP", "I dunno", etc. are out. This is not to say you should use a high sounding, pedantic language. Avoiding both, just use formal, plain and simple language. Hinglish, (mixture of Hindi and English) should be discarded.
Confidence and coolness while presenting your viewpoint are of help. See that you do not keep repeating a point. Do not use more words than necessary. Do not be superfluous. Try to be specific. Do not exaggerate.
Start making preparations for interview and group discussions right away, without waiting till the eleventh hour, this is, if and when called for them. Then the time left may not be adequate. It is important to concentrate on subject knowledge and general awareness. Hence, the prime need for thorough preparation. Remember, the competition is very tough. Only 460 candidates make it to the final list from 2.75 lakh civil service aspirants each year.It may so happen that you are called for interviews and group discussions from three or four organizations but are not selected by any. The reason obviously lies in your not being well-prepared. In a group discussion you may be given a topic and asked to express your views on it. Or in a case study GD, students have to read a case study and suggest ways of tackling the problem. For this you should have a good general knowledge, need to be abreast with current affairs, should regularly read newspapers and magazines. Your group behaviour and communication skills are on test, i.e. how you convince the others and how clearly you are able to express your points of view. You should be articulate, generate ideas, not sound boring, should allow others to speak, and adopt a stand on a given subject. During the course of the GD this stand can even be changed, giving the impression that you are open to accommodate others' viewpoints.Additional marks may be given for starting or concluding the discussion.
Knowledge is strength. A candidate with good reading habits has more chances of success. In other words, sound knowledge on different topics like politics, finance, economy, science and technology is helpful.
Power to convince effectively is another quality that makes you stand out among others.
Clarity in speech and expression is yet another essential quality.
If you are not sure about the topic of discussion, it is better not to initiate. Lack of knowledge or wrong approach creates a bad impression. Instead, you might adopt the wait and watch attitude. Listen attentively to others, may be you would be able to come up with a point or two later.
A GD is a formal occasion where slang is to avoided.
A GD is not a debating stage. Participants should confine themselves to expressing their viewpoints. In the second part of the discussion candidates can exercise their choice in agreeing, disagreeing or remaining neutral.
Language use should be simple, direct and straight forward.
Don't interrupt a speaker when the session is on. Try to score by increasing your size, not by cutting others short.
Maintain rapport with fellow participants. Eye contact plays a major role. Non-verbal gestures, such as listening intently or nodding while appreciating someone's viewpoint speak of you positively.

Actually I'm doing some stuff related to a tour of polish rock band Buldog.
I cannot find an option in Photoshop to save sliced image in the way I like.
Java and to some degree .Net are the main choices because they have been consistently pegged as the "safe" choice to go with for mid-level project managers in the corporate world. No one was ever fired for choosing Java or Microsoft.
However, there are many large distributed applications these days that run primarily with technologies like Python, PHP, et al. Even companies like Google and Yahoo are heavily invested in these technologies. Java may be the main choice for enterprise development now, but it's days are numbered as the only stalwart option to go with.
Let's face it, many of these so called "enterprise applications" could easily have been written much faster and with less overhead using technologies like Python, PHP, et al.
Sounds like a spam. Working on scalability and efficiency is an honour, same logic applies for spam (to some point).


"It is not my desire to live or to reign longer than my life and my reign shall be for your good," said Elizabeth to her parliament in 1601. Upon one of the many times parliament questioned Elizabeth about her plan of succession, she stated, "I know I am but mortal and so therewhilst prepare myself for death, whensoever it shall please God to send it." And send it, God eventually did.

24 March, 1603. Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, England's Gloriana and daughter of the great Henry VIII by the ill-fated Anne Boleyn, passed away peacefully in her sleep at Richmond Palace. She was 69 years old and had reigned for almost 45 years.
Elizabeth's passing was announced later on that morning, though truthful rumors of the queen's declining health had circulated for weeks. Elizabeth's faithful ladies were waiting at Richmond Palace, in the Coffer Room. Robert Cecil, who served as Elizabeth's chief minister after his father's death in 1598, first proclaimed the grave news at Whitehall, then St. Paul's, and finally at Cheapside Cross. Upon hearing the news, the expectant crowd was stunned into silence.
Elizabeth's shuffling off of her mortal coil left as much of a mark as did her reign. Sorely missed by her people, Elizabeth's memory lived on actively long after her death. To this day, her legacy evokes memories of a splendid court, a strong prince, and a loving defender of the English people.
** Discussion topic: is it possible that Elizabeth being described as "most happy" in her epitaph is an allusion to her mother Anne Boleyn, whose motto was, "the most happy?" What do you think?

Aflatoxin contamination of peanuts is a food safety concern and major economic burden for the peanut industry. Aflatoxin contamination occurs when seeds are colonized by the mold, Aspergillus flavus, under late-season conditions of drought and high temperature.
A competitive strain of A. flavus that cannot make aflatoxin (nontoxigenic) is applied to crops at mid-season. When drought and high temperatures make them susceptible to infection by A. flavus later in the growing season, the applied strain out-competes the toxin-producing strains naturally present, and the result is reduced levels of aflatoxin.
The competitive fungus is bound to a small grain, which serves as (1) a carrier, to get the fungus to the field, and (2) a substrate, for the fungus to grow and multiply on.
AflaGuard?is applied to peanut about 60 days after planting. The fungus begins to grow and produces a multitude of spores on the surface of the grain.
The spores spread into the soil so the nontoxigenic strain is in position to compete with the strains capable of producing aflatoxin.
by Syngenta Crop Protection under the trade name, AflaGuard?. In May 2004, AflaGuard? received EPA Section 3 registration as a biopesticide for use on peanuts. The label was amended to include corn in October, 2008.
Large-scale field studies were conducted in peanuts in 2004 to demonstrate efficacy prior to EPA registration. AflaGuard? was applied at 20 lb/acre to about 5000 acres of peanuts in Alabama and Georgia. Analyses of farmers' stock peanuts from 582 loads showed that AflaGuard? reduced average aflatoxin by 85%, and consistent reductions were seen in all areas. Analyses of shelled stock peanuts from 2 warehouses resulted in no lots from treated areas being rejected because of aflatoxin compared with rejection rates of 16 and 48%, respectively, for untreated peanuts.
A two-year experimental use permit was granted by EPA to determine the efficacy of AflaGuard? in corn. About 3000 acres were treated in two areas of Texas with either 10 or 20 lb/ac in 2007 and 2008. AflaGuard? reduced aflatoxin contamination by averages of 85% and 88% in respective years. There was no significant difference in the reduction achieved by the different rates.
Analyses for the type of A. flavus colonizing corn revealed that both the 10 and 20 lb/ac treatments displaced > 99% of the toxigenic strains of the fungus. This is strong confirmation that AflaGuard? established the nontoxigenic A. flavus in the environment and that biological control through competitive exclusion is an effective aflatoxin prevention strategy.

The top trends of 2013
By Alistair Dunsmuir November 13, 2013 00:14
The year 2013 has been incredibly important to the golf sector – predictions at the start of the year were that hundreds of clubs would close down following a participation drop in 2012 and the effects of several years of membership drops and economic woes. But what were the biggest trends of 2013? Golf Club Management reporters Emma Williams, Tania Longmire and Alistair Dunsmuir have compiled their top trends list:
40. Litigation against clubs is on the rise
Whether it's been by members, visitors, staff, suppliers or the general public, several legal cases against golf clubs arose in 2013, including at least two involving members of the public being hit by balls following wayward shots.
The cases have been varied: from one club being fined about £70 when a dog cut its paw on irrigation equipment to another facing a £33,000 bill when guests at a wedding suffered from food poisoning.
One club was fined when a greenkeeper became trapped between a buggy and a ride-on mower, and another faced a six-figure bill when a greenkeeper hurt his knee while mowing. A barmaid at one club even sued her employer when she fell into a diabetic coma – and her line manager failed to help her.
39. Clubs are still adapting to the Equality Act
The Equality Act might have been introduced in 2010, but clubs were still adapting to it in 2013.
This famously became the case when Wirrall Ladies' Golf Club in Merseyside appointed a man as its captain at the start of the year.
It wasn't quite as bizarre as it might seem though – the club, which has a male manager, has had both genders as members for a number of years, with today more men than women.
It decided to have two captains, one male and one female, to ensure it fully complied with anti-discrimination law, especially the Equality Act.
38. More clubs are purchasing defibrillators
Often, when a golfer suffers a cardiac arrest on a course where the club didn't have a defibrillator, which can save the lives of people suffering heart attacks, the club purchases one shortly afterwards.
For instance, Nairn Golf Club in Scotland installed a defibrillator in its clubhouse – after a golfer suffered a non-fatal heart attack on the course.
All staff at the club have been trained by a local GP to use the equipment so they can react swiftly if a similar incident occurs again.
Club manager Yvonne Forgan said: "Installing a defibrillator provides the best possible help in the event of an emergency.
"An amb ulance can be here within a few minutes but when every second counts this piece of equipment could be invaluable.
"We hope we never have to use it, but it's reassuring to know it's there if needed.
"Like all other golf clubs, we have an ageing membership and having a defibrillator ready for an emergency response is something we feel is good practice."
The campaign to get these machines into golf clubs received a massive boost in 2013, when one saved the life of former Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher, who collapsed at a club in Scotland.
"The availability of a defibrillator was central in giving Bernard a chance of survival and, along with his wife Lesley and the support of the PGA and European Tour, he will be championing a campaign to make defibrillators widely accessible at golf courses around the UK," said a spokesman.
37. Some courses are going to greater lengths to secure themselves
Clubs were the victims of a number of crimes in 2013, but none more bizarre than the theft of 91 leylandii trees from Crane Valley Golf Club in Dorset.
Sutton Green Golf Club got so fed up with trespassers vandalising buggies, flags, pins and tee and yardage markers, causing more than £20,000 of damage in a few weeks, that it took the unusual step of hiring security guards.
Club director John Buchanan said hiring the guards was at a huge cost to the club, but action had to be taken.
36. Football clubs are buying golf clubs…
As every transfer window proves, the top football clubs have been recession-proof, something that cannot be said for most golf clubs. It is therefore, perhaps, not too surprising, that as football clubs prosper and become keen for more land, and golf clubs fold, that the former snaps up the latter.
This occurred twice in 2013. First Reading Football Club agreed a deal with the trustees of the charity the Royal Merchant Navy School Foundation, to buy nine-hole Bearwood Golf Club so that it can be converted into a training facility.
And then Wigan Athletic Football Club bought 18-hole Charnock Richard Golf Club, also to convert it into a training ground.
The second deal was particularly painful for staff and members – Wigan bought the club in early July and immediately said all fixtures and competitions for the rest of the golfing season would be honoured. However, before the month was out the golf club had been closed down.

Energy has gone up 23% (CBI) in the last four years, and clubs still haven't cottoned on that this is taking off their bottom line? – expect this to make the list next year! The managers therefore are still missing where savings long term can be made… something that big business looks at seriously in recession.

The journey between Campspur and Lower Landing saw us pass King River on a few different bridges – all the scenery was remote, isolated and fabulous. We crossed Quarter Mile Bridge – the longest on the WCWR.
On arrival at Lower Landing, we were given the option of tasting honey. The queue developed quickly and I got quite near the front.
It was Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey, which came in four amazing varieties. We were allowed to taste as much as we wanted so I tried all four, and tried my favourite one a second time.
My favourite was the ginger one. I like ginger and it's good for you. My Granny, Mattie Scott always had ginger cordial in her house in Bloomfield in Bangor when I was a kid. I think she drank a bit of it, which probably helped even things up for her as she was a big smoker. I couldnt find any photos of Balloo Walk, but this one is from Ballyree Drive in Bloomfield, Bangor, Northern Ireland (I took it in 2007).
At any rate, my likeness of ginger had continued, I often drink ginger beer, ginger tea, ginger ale and ginger cordial. Here the ginger honey was a sweet sweet fix.
It was Real Tasmanian Leatherwood honey – formed from the leatherwood trees and sold all over the world. It has a stunning taste and was even nicer to taste it so remotely in the wilderness.
The other three flavours I tried were original real leatherwood honey, chocolate honey and meadow honey.
The empty carriage at Lower Landing.
The bar on the train.
The stationary train at Lower Landing.
The Leatherwood Tree only grows in Tasmania.
The area around Lower Landing station.
The entrance to the rainforest.
Travelled From – Campspur to Lower Landing (onwards to Teepookana).
Highlights – Going over Quarter Mile Bridge, Going downhill, tasting four types of honey, honey museum, views of the rainforest from Lower Landing, taking photos of the train when it was empty.

The Denton Municipal Airport is located within the city limits of the City of Denton.
KSA Engineers, Inc. recognizes the importance of aviation in community planning and the impact of aviation development. After creating a comprehensive and realistic Master Plan in 2003, Denton Municipal Airport hired KSA to design all aspects of the projects, which include a full parallel taxiway, a taxiway lighting system, a corporate apron, hangar access taxiway reconstruction, and a new hangar access taxiway. The most current project is the completion of a 1,000-foot runway and parallel taxiway extension.
As the airport has grown, so has the need for additional runway length; the runway was extended to 7,000 feet in total pavement length. There was a complication in this project, however; the airport was bound on both north and south ends by significant creeks. In fact, the RSA at the south end had to be re-graded and a major retaining wall was constructed to meet RSA criteria. With the RSA limits right at the top of the creek banks, KSA also performed a floodway analysis to ensure there was no negative impact on the creek or downstream neighbors due to construction of the extension. In addition to the pavement, grading and drainage structures, the glideslope, MALSR, and localizer were relocated to correspond with the new runway thresholds.
The construction schedule was another component that dictated some aspects of the design for this project. The runway and taxiway extensions are currently under construction. The FAA has mandated that the full runway with approaches must be available to help accommodate air traffic for Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. In response to that, KSA developed a construction phasing plan in conjunction with the airport, TxDOT, and the FAA to meet these needs. After the Super Bowl traffic is gone, the total project construction will be completed.

Q: JQuery setData event I am new to JQuery and was reading about attaching data to Jquery objects. I have tried to create a timer as an example but can't get it to work. Is it about the version of JQuery I am using? I have found several examples online but can't make my own code working. Any help is appreciable. Below is my code:
*

*
Thank you

A: There isn't a setData event that I know of... maybe in a plugin?
Either way, try something like this (demo):
$(function () {
    var id = 1,
        i = 0;
    //create a div with progress bar and the value
    var progress = $('

')
        .attr('id', 'progresscont' + id)
        .addClass('progresscont')
        .data('perc', '0')
        .appendTo($(document.body))
        .append(
            $('

')
                .addClass('progress')
                .append(
                    $('
0%
')
                        .attr('id', 'percenttext' + id)
                        .addClass('percenttext')
                )
        );

    function setcounter(val) {
        if (val > 100) { return; }
        progress.data('perc', val)
            .find('.progress')
            .width(val + '%')
            .find('.percenttext').text(val + '%')
        setTimeout(function(){
            setcounter(val + 1);
        }, 50);
    }
    setcounter(0);

});

A: The setData event had been supported prior to jQuery version 1.8 or 1.9. I see you're using v.2.0.

AWIA Compliance: Assessing Risks, Developing Emergency Response Plans
By Sarah Tuite
Planning for the worst may seem like a pessimistic view to hold but preparing for identified risks is essential to reduce potential disruption or, even worse, contamination of a public water supply. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring utilities to conduct risk and resiliency assessment (RRA) and prepare an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in accordance with the America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) passed into law in October 2018. (Discover more about the AWIA and upcoming regulations here.)
Both vital for a well-prepared utility, a risk assessment identifies and helps prioritize different vulnerabilities, while an ERP assigns actions to mitigate these risks as well as builds relationships and communication strategies through planned partnerships with other utility departments, law enforcement and public health officials. Resiliency assessments help the utility identify how long it could take to bounce back from hazard damage. If everyone knows the plan, any anticipated risks can be prepared for to potentially limit catastrophic damage.
Many utilities rely on only one source for its water supply, which makes any hazard especially dangerous. An ERP forces the utility to make step-by-step action plans in the event a major disaster takes out critical infrastructure. Potential hazards to the water supply may include earthquakes, floods or terrorism. Cyberattacks bring a whole new realm of potential disruptions to a utility's digital infrastructure, billing systems and potentially even remote operations.
Updated AWIA compliance regulations are vital for knowing how to prioritize damage affecting a water utility's service. Critical consequences of major events can be ranked by the number of people impacted by infrastructure damage through a risk assessment. The greater the impact, the higher the prioritization of fixing the issue.
Once risks are identified, it's important to prepare, detect and communicate the threat to all parties involved in the ERP. A utility's first reaction may be to balk at the cost associated with the updated AWIA compliance regulations; however, what they may not realize is that past risk assessments and capital planning documents pave the way for emergency planning. It's important to plan for hazards before an unfortunate situation forces the utility to spend money on damage control rather than prevention.
A water utility can also use its RRA as a starting point for incorporating security and cyber protection into future capital improvements. A community's water supply depends on each utility taking such precautionary measures seriously.
AWIA sets into motion a timeline for risk and resiliency compliance requirements for community water systems. A cohesive, comprehensive approach that incorporates best practices for infrastructure resiliency, physical security and cybersecurity can keep you ahead of fast-approaching compliance deadlines.

Maximize diversion of upslope runoff that would otherwise drain to the TSF.
JDS was engaged by Barrick mid-project to provide project management, technical support, and to manage construction during the remediation and closure of the historic tailings facilities. Earthworks construction included the movement of over 500,000 m3 of material for grading, stabilization, and water diversion. Technical builds included two buttress underdrain systems, five spillways, and a passive treatment trench. Material creation included blasting, crushing, and screening for the production of multiple filter and bedding materials to specification. JDS was responsible for the operational budget and schedule of the project, as well as tracking production and costs. The JDS project management team worked closely with Barrick, the design engineering consultants Knight Piesold, the local general contractor WTW Ventures Ltd., and various subcontractors. JDS was instrumental in developing new safety, quality control, and maintenance systems in conjunction with the general contractor to meet Barrick's needs and operate safely under the BC Mines Act.

Oberoi to launch tourist train in Punjab
The Punjab Government has given its approval to the Oberoi Hotels Group to be partners with the state in the luxury train project which had been approved by the Railway Ministry.
The Oberoi Group was the single bidder for the luxury tourists train project which would be started on the pattern of Palace on Wheels that cris crosses Rajasthan. For this project, the group would pay Rs 90 lakh per annum to the state. This decision was taken in a meeting of Punjab Heritage and Tourism Promotion Board (PHTPB) here today. The meeting was presided over by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
In another decision, the government has asked the Cultural Affairs and Tourism Department to expedite the conservation project of the prestigious historic Gobindgarh Fort at Amritsar. The Army has agreed to hand over the fort to the state government.
Presiding over another meeting to review the master plan of Gobindgarh Fort prepared by the Tourism Department, Principal Secretary Cultural Affairs and Tourism Geetika Kalha informed that the state government had already sent a proposal to the Centre and demanded Rs 50 crore for the entire project of Gobindgarh Fort.
Besides, the Government had also demanded Rs 10 crore from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The entire conservation work would cost about Rs 25 crore, which includes Rs 5.2 crore for the conservation of boundary walls of the fort, Rs three crore each for the four bastions, Rs 2.5 crore for darbar hall and remaining would be spent on other buildings in the Fort.
Central circular buildings of the fort, known as Dyer's Bungalow, would be restored as artifacts based museum. Apart from this, two other museums would be developed to depict the history of Maharaha Ranjit Singh, Anglo-Sikh war and British period at the two bastions.
It was also informed in the meeting that a car parking would also be constructed outside the fort, whereas inside, a 20 room Heritage Hotel along with ten tent houses would be developed. Darbar Hall would be developed as a restaurant and 'toshakhana' (treasury room) as a cafeteria. The Chief Minister also asked the Tourism Department to chalk out possibilities to start boating in the moat around the Fort.
He also directed the department to seek expert advice in this regard.

Olympic Gold Medalist: Trials Are "God's Scheduled Opportunities for Us"
Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton spoke at RootsTech last week about the importance of family and about overcoming trials. And he should know. He jokes that he has a hobby of "collecting life-threatening illnesses" and that he's a "short, bald, half-neutered, chemoed, surgically-repaired, retired male figure skater of unknown ethnic origin."
His story is truly inspiring.
He had a beautiful family situation, he said, with frequent interactions with his grandparents. Yet, the variety of illnesses that would plague him through his life began as a child. He said, "I always joke that the counter that's in your kitchen that the children run under all the time, and you know that one day they are going to bash their heads because they've grown taller, that never happened to me." He was sick and small and as a man only grew to be 5'4''.
During these many hospital visits, Scott's Mom slept in the chair in the corner of the room and was under a great deal of stress. Finally, the doctor suggested to them that they needed a morning off and that the university offered classes at a new ice skating rink every Saturday morning. "Put him in those classes and he will be well supervised," the doctor assured them.
When he got to the rink, he was excited to be with well kids, but was still wearing a nose tube because of the supplement that he wouldn't drink. No one would have figured him for a future gold medalist.

I wasn't going to write up anything on the purported GeForce GTX 20 series from NVIDIA expected to be unveiled sometime in 2017, but 3DCenter has posted up some speculation on what we could expect from NVIDIA's hopefully generation leaping GTX 20 series of cards.
The new GeForce GTX 20 series would the 14nm FinFET refresh of the Pascal architecture, led by the GeForce GTX 2080 Ti which would use the refreshed GP102 core with 3384 CUDA cores, and GDDR5X on a 384-bit memory bus. Under that, we'll find the GTX 2080 which would replace the current GTX 1080, and then the GTX 2070 that could be the new price/performance champion.
NVIDIA could use the faster GDDR5X standard on the GeForce GTX 2070, with the faster VRAM exclusive to the current-gen GTX 1080 and Titan X. The use of GDDR5X on the more mid-range GeForce GTX 2070 could be a big win for the price/performance market once again.
As for performance, we should expect a 10-30% gain over the performance of the GTX 10 series parts, which would really put NVIDIA into the lead by an even larger margin.

Ever have one of those conversations about those magic games you decided to boot up before dinner, just to get a look at it, and the next thing you knew was 4 a.m. and you were still hungry? Invariably, in such conversations, Sid Meier's Civilization is cited as one of the worst offenders in creating "bleary-eyed next day at work, but boy was it fun" syndrome. Well, be warned: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is another one of those games that can make hours pass like minutes, a game that makes you put a cooler full of sandwiches and sodas next to your computer desk so you don't have to get up all weekend.
Created by Brian Reynolds and Sid Meier, the team that brought us Civilization II, Alpha Centauri is clearly the spiritual sequel to that game. Civ II ends with you leaving behind the conflicts of Earth to make a new life on Alpha Centauri. This game picks up with a colony ship reaching that system, but it turns out that moving to the stars doesn't change mankind's basic nature. Before the colony ship lands, the crew splits up into seven factions with different priorities for the new world. Each decides to land on its own and try to remake the planet in its own philosophical image.
Thus, it turns out that life on the new planet is going to be much like the life man knew on Earth - exploring new territories, setting up colonies, and using diplomacy and war to deal with the other societies. To this effect, gamers will find that Alpha Centauri's gameplay looks and feels much like Civ II's. The map perspective is similar, the command interface is virtually identical, and there are nearly direct corollaries between some of the historical and science fiction elements of each game. Sure, mindworms may take the place of barbarians, and you may create Planetary Datalinks instead of the Great Library, but gameplay will feel instantly familiar to any Civ II player.
However, this is true in the same way that Starcraft will feel familiar to any Warcraft II player. While Alpha Centauri shamelessly borrows the elements that made its predecessor magic, the game here is much richer, more sophisticated, and better tailored to individual styles of playing than Civ II.
A big concern with moving to a science fiction realm is accessibility. After all, even those of us burdened with a typical American public school education are familiar with the basics of historical civilizations and the progress of technology throughout the centuries. But xenofungus, cyberethics, and polymorphic encryption are new concepts to everyone. To keep from overwhelming you or requiring you to memorize the manual beforehand, Firaxis has created a well-done interactive tutorial which can walk you through each interface window the first time it pops up, and warn you if you're neglecting important game elements. In addition, there's a well-done Datalink help system with detailed information on all the game's controls, technologies, and units. The help system is thorough enough that you may not even need to crack the game's 250-page manual. You should, though, as it includes excellent background information, as well as a number of handy charts.
Gameplay is the familiar exploration/discovery/building/conquest model. You'll establish cities, explore the area around it, and build both military and research infrastructures. As in Civ II, you can build farms and roads to make your economy more useful and productive. Be aware, though, that this is an alien planet, and the ecosystem may not react kindly to manipulation. In fact, the planet is in many ways another player to compete with. Handle it properly and it can be an ally, allowing you to tame the dangerous mindworms that roam its surface and use them against your human enemies.
Alpha Centauri takes automation to a new height, with features that will be welcome to gamers who don't enjoy management and to anyone who has dozens of units and cities in the latter stages of a game. You can put governors in charge of cities, with a priority to explore, discover, build, or conquer. The governor will then choose which units and improvements to produce (of course, you can jump in at any time and alter the production queue). Similarly, units can be put on autopilot, allowing formers to automatically terraform, scouts to explore on their own, and so on. Those who enjoy micromanagement can leave everything in manual mode and manage every aspect of their society.
The game features a very rich technology tree. While almost all technologies are available to all players, the varying strategies used by each faction helps keep everyone from having the identical endgame forces. Particularly cool is the design workshop, which lets you create custom vehicles using available armor, weapon, power, and chassis combinations. You can create heavily armored defense forces, or go for cheap, speedy, and plentiful troops for massive attacks. The ability to upgrade units (at a cost) keeps you from being saddled with outdated forces. Further, the scenario and map editors, as well as modifiable "rule" text files, will allow you to create a wide variety of custom scenarios.
Alpha Centauri's most impressive aspect, though, is the faction AI. The seven factions have very different priorities - economy, religion, peace, environment, knowledge, survivalism, and authoritarianism. These philosophies not only come through in each faction's play styles, but also in how they react to what you do in the game. Warlike behavior won't endear you to the UN, and the Believers aren't thrilled about high technology. Commit atrocities such as nerve stapling to keep your population orderly and nobody will like you. As in real life, though, if you get powerful enough, everyone will want to be your friend.
Winning the game can be done in a number of ways. Conquer all the other factions (alone or with allies), win a diplomatic victory by being elected supreme ruler, corner the global energy market to gain economic victory, or go for the gusto and complete the Ascent to Transcendence secret project. (From the description of this, though, it sounds frighteningly like donning your Nikes and going off to ride a comet.)There are few nits to pick with the game. Some minor bugs exist, such as free armor on air vehicles, but many were fixed with the 2.0 patch and more will be zapped in 3.0. Diplomacy can be annoying at times - you may wonder how Sister Miriam can suddenly break your alliance and join with Colonel Santiago to attack you, when just 30 turns back Santiago was eating into Miriam's territory. However, such inexplicable choices do occasionally happen in real life, and overall diplomacy is better handled here than in any prior strategy game.
Alpha Centauri's multiplayer support is well done, with simultaneous movement that keeps you from having to sit around while other players make their moves. Particularly nice is built-in voice chat, very handy for gloating to enemies when you take one of their cities. Of course, turn-based strategy games require a fair time commitment, and getting players together for multiplayer sessions can be difficult. Firaxis has a free matchmaking service at www.alphahq.net. The first patch added play-by-email support, so when a game runs long you can save it at the end of a turn and continue it via email at your leisure, and then pick it up again "live" later.
Although it may feel a lot like Civ II on the surface, Alpha Centauri is a much more refined game. As has been the case more often than not, Sid Meier's name in the title signifies quality. With its top-notch diplomacy, civilization building, and wargame elements, Alpha Centauri is the new pinnacle of turn-based strategy games.

Human rights complaints filed after Indigenous man and granddaughter handcuffed outside Vancouver bank
Maria Weisgarber Multi-skilled Journalist, CTV News Vancouver
@ctv_mariaw Contact
Published Monday, November 23, 2020 1:18PM PST Last Updated Tuesday, November 24, 2020 8:54AM PST
VANCOUVER -- Human rights complaints are now being filed by an Indigenous man and his granddaughter after both were handcuffed outside a Bank of Montreal branch in Vancouver last December.
Maxwell Johnson and his granddaughter Tori are both members of the Heiltsuk First Nation in Bella Bella. On Dec 20, 2019, they went to a bank on Burrard Street in downtown Vancouver, intending to open an account for the 12-year-old.
Johnson had been a customer of the bank for years. Instead, they found themselves in handcuffs, detained by Vancouver police officers, after someone at the bank called 911 on suspicion of fraud. The bank has since admitted it made a mistake, and apologized.
Johnson and his granddaughter are filing complaints against the bank and the police with the BC Human Rights Tribunal and the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
Johnson told CTV they are making the complaint not just for themselves, but in the hopes of helping other First Nations people and people of colour.
"It's not right to be put in a situation like this, for anybody," Johnson said, adding he has had to return to counselling for anxiety since the incident at the bank. "Doesn't matter the colour of your skin or the nation you come from."
Johnson said his granddaughter is also still affected by what happened.
"It's something she'll remember for the rest of her life," he said. "The last time we were in Vancouver, we walked by a bank and she goes 'Papa, I just get nervous when I see a bank.' And especially with police too, she gets nervous."
A transcript of the 911 call that has now been shared publicly shows someone who identified themselves as the branch manager alleging fake identification was being used, and saying they had called Indigenous Services Canada.
"I said, 'Do I need to keep their ID and do you recommend that I call the authorities because they have fake ID that they're trying to access, uh, this customer's account has $23,000 in it', And they said, yes, to contact, uh, the police and keep the ID," the caller said at one point.
The manager's name is redacted from the transcript.
Indigenous Services Canada spokesperson Rola Tfaili told CTV News in an email the ministry is looking into the circumstances "surrounding this distressing event."
"If there is an issue with Indigenous Services Card and its involvement, swift action will be taken," Tfaili said. "The incidents in question are exceedingly alarming. Status cards are valid, legal, and government administered pieces of identification and all members of society need to know and respect the validity of a status card."
The complaint filed to the BC Human Rights Tribunal said the bank was not forthright in explaining an issue with Tori's status card, and called 911.
"But for the discriminatory response, an identification issue would have resulted in simply a denial of issuing a new bank account that day," the complaint reads. "BMO's suspicion, questioning and decision to call 911 were all informed by a discriminatory line of thought that an Indigenous man with a recent deposit in his bank account and error on a 12-year-old's identification was some type of a fraud."
The complaint also called the detention and handcuffing unnecessary and discriminatory.
Johnson said he wants financial institutions and police to educate themselves about Indigenous people and status cards.
"The people that issued our status cards should be held accountable, too," he said.
"It's got to stop somewhere."
Johnson also said he has been overwhelmed by the support he and his granddaughter have received from their community, friends and around the world.
Heiltsuk Tribal Council Chief Councillor Marilyn Slett said they are fully supporting Johnson and his family.
"It's so courageous of them to stand up against discrimination and the systemic racism that occurred with them last year," she said. "We believe certainly in this day and age that these types of things should not be happening to Indigenous people."
Slett said she felt "quite emotional" reading through the 911 transcript and police report of the incident.
"I was shocked when I read the interaction between the bank and ISC, Indigenous Services Canada," she said. "We have such a dark history with Canada and the federal government, that for this to happen in this day and age, there's no excuse."
Slett said the bank could have handled things differently, instead of calling 911.
"There's things they can do, like ask a question, and have some dialogue," she said.
"I really do hope that this can move us forward."
In an emailed statement, the Vancouver Police Department called the circumstances of what happened and the impact on Johnson and his granddaughter "regrettable and, understandably, traumatic."
The department said a service and policy review is underway, as well as an ongoing investigation by the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner.
"Due to the ongoing service and policy review and the OPCC investigation, we are unable to offer additional comment," the department said.
The Bank of Montreal also sent a statement reiterating their previous apology.
"BMO deeply regrets the situation that took place in Vancouver in December 2019 involving Mr. Johnson and his granddaughter," the statement read, and added the bank has established an Indigenous Advisory Council, and has introduced organization-wide education for staff in partnership with the First Nations University of Canada, as well as cultural training for B.C. employees. "We continue to seek ways to ensure we are doing better for our Indigenous customers."

Dispense into clean hands, massage over the face and neck, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
I've got sensitive, dehydrated, and problematic skin that's prone to breakouts. This is one of the few cleansers I trust! It has a refreshing scent that works well in the morning and after a session at the gym, and it cleanses thoroughly without stripping the skin. On my second bottle now and will definitely repurchase!
I have oily but dehydrated skin, so tend to buy things made for combination skin. This cleanser is really nice, smells good and hasn't caused any breakouts which is great. It lathers and foams a bit when you add water but the more you massage it into your face, the more it feels almost like an oil or cream which I like because foaming products can be quite drying but I haven't found this with this cleanser. Would buy again.
I really like this cleanser. It is one of the products that helped me control my breakouts. I find it balancing to my combination skin. cleanses nicely without stripping the skin. and glides one nicely creating a smooth lather, no foam, which I love. And and.. washes off easily! Usually products that don't foam are sticky and difficult to wash off, on the other hand this washes off so easily and you don't need to rub or anything..

The ABG Poll - 2019-20 Finale
We arrive at the end of the season and present our season finale of the ABG Poll. Our voters have unanimously chosen LSU as National Champions. We also received a consensus at #2 with Clemson reaching that position on all ballots. The voters appear to have been impressed with the bowl performances of Georgia and Oregon. Oklahoma? Not so much.
One item of note, we'd like to welcome Appalachian State to the Top 10 for the final poll. Congratulations on a great season, Mountaineers.
In closing, thanks to all the poll voters who keep this evil, vindictive, crazy, wild and wonderful poll going each week.
5) Ohio State 29
7) Penn State 16
8) Florida 14
10) Oklahoma 9
also receiving votes: Minnesota 6, Notre Dame 6, Cincinnati 3, Oklahoma State 1, UCF 1
Curator & Coach - The National Championship
And just like that...we're at the end of the season. After a ridiculous layoff we're finally at the National Championship Game.
And what a game this one promises to be. Clemson is back to defend their title from last year. LSU is here to try to knock them off. Look at what they have in common: both mascots are tigers, both teams affectionately refer to their stadium as "Death Valley," both have quarterbacks that can hurt you with their arms or their legs, both have fantastic running backs.
LSU has absolutely plowed through their schedule. They haven't even hit a speed bump. Alabama fans think they came close. I saw the game. They didn't. LSU has also been through Georgia, Florida, Auburn, A&M, Texas, Oklahoma, you name it. They completely shut down Jalen Hurts and the Sooners' high powered offense. They've won with offense, they've won with defense. Nothing anyone has tried has worked.
Joe Burrow is that once in a lifetime experience. He's not only the best player in the country, his effort and leadership bring out the best in everyone around him.
I don't want to sell Clemson short. Trevor Lawrence does amazing things on the football field. Just the Fiesta Bowl gave many examples. Buckeye fans are still wringing their hands about an incomplete pass but completely ignore giving up a 67 yard TD run by Lawrence. They followed that up by unsuccessfully chasing Travis Etienne for 53 yards. Clemson spotted the Buckeyes 4 scores: 16 points in the first 23 minutes of play. They only gave up one score the rest of the night. They used big plays to shift momentum and then used big defense to keep it.
My assessment is this: if anyone was going to beat LSU, it would be Clemson. If any coach was going to formulate a plan to stop that juggernaut, it would be Dabo Swinney. If any field general was going to get past that defense, it would be Trevor Lawrence.
I just dont think its going to happen. LSU is just too good, they have too many weapons, too much momentum, they play too well together, they're too well coached. They're not going to lose. LSU Tigers pull this one out.
Months of training camp and games. Off season programs. Early morning weights. Conditioning. Sacrifice of family, personal and social time. Countless nights of wives making dinner for the kids, putting them to bed and going to sleep herself before coach dad makes it home. All of it HOPEFULLY one day leads to this night. This is the pinnacle of a lifetime of work and sacrifice.
For Clemson, it's a quest for a 3rd title in 4 years. Back to back. Claims of all-time greatness on the line. And yet, with all of that on the line, they find themselves the under dogs. Undefeated defending National Champions don't typically find themselves in this role but it's one that the Orange Tigers relish. There is so much on the line for Dabo and his boys from a standpoint of historical greatness. Finding a way to get this done would firmly cement them in the history books and yet they can charge into this game knowing that ALL the pressure lies on the shoulders of the yellow tigers. They're #1, they've dominated every proposed "test" for them this year, and they have drawn a National Title birth 30 minutes from campus. It's a story book setting on the bayou.
Both teams have spoken in depth about their confidence and the high quality of their preparation. Neither is taking this opportunity for granted and there are 2 true juggernauts here. I don't remember being this excited for a title game in a very long time. As much as I want to say LSU will find a way to get it done in front of 80,000 Cajuns, I suddenly become mildly nauseous at the thought of picking against Clemson in any scenario. It's a blindfolded dart throw, but I'm going to go with the home team. LSU jumps out early, Clemson makes it a game and the Bayou Bengals find a way down the stretch. Slugfest. Instant classic. Geaux Tigas!

Paul Durand-Ruel
(Redirected from Galerie Durand-Ruel)
Paul Durand-Ruel (october 31 1831 – February 5 1922) was a French art dealer who is associated with the Impressionists. He was one of the first modern art dealers who provided support to his painters with stipends and solo exhibitions.
Durand-Ruel's father was a picture dealer. In 1865 young Paul took over the family business, which represented artists such as Corot and the Barbizon school of French landscape painting. During the 1860s and early 1870s Paul Durand-Ruel was an important advocate and successful art dealer of the Barbizon School. However Durand-Ruel soon established a relationship with a group of painters who would become known as the Impressionists.
During the Franco-Prussian War, of 1870-1871, Paul Durand-Ruel left Paris and escaped to London, where he met up with a number of French artists including Charles-François Daubigny, Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. In December 1870 he opened the first of ten Annual Exhibitions of the Society of French Artists at his new London gallery at 168 New Bond Street, under the management of Charles Deschamps.
He recognized the artistic and fashionable potential of Impressionism as early as 1870, and his first major exhibition of their work took place at his London gallery in 1872. Eventually Durand-Ruel had exhibitions of Impressionism and other works (including the expatriate American painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler who lived in London), at his Paris and London galleries. He also brought their work to New York, doing much to establish the popularity of Impressionist art in the United States.
During the final three decades of the 19th century Paul Durand-Ruel became the best known art dealer and most important commercial advocate of French Impressionism in the world. He succeeded in establishing the market for Impressionism in the United States as well as in Europe. Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, are among the important Impressionist artists that Durand-Ruel helped to establish. He represented many lesser known artists including Maxime Dethomas amongst others.
Regarding the Americans' open-mindedness towards impressionism, Durand-Ruel once said, "The American public does not laugh. It buys!"
Durand-Ruel had an intense rivalry with Parisian art dealer Georges Petit (1856-1920).
