Meet the Fastest Female Bartenders in America
Ivy Mix and Lynnette Marrero
By Jane Applegate
Sixteen of America's fastest female bartenders are heading to New York City on May 16 to compete in the Speed Rack National Finals at Element, a trendy bar on Manhattan's Lower East Side. More than 200 women competed in contests held at bars around the country to make the final cut, according to the organizers.
The contest, which raises money for cancer charities, is the brainchild of Ivy Mix and Lynnette Marrero (pictured left), respected female bartenders working in New York. So far, they say the competition has raised more than $150,000. The upcoming event at Element, 225 E. Houston St., runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Information is available at: http://www.speed-rack.com

Miss Speed Rack USA wins an all-inclusive trip for two to France and a chance to attend the Cointreau Bartender Academie. The winner will also be offered a scholarship to the Beverage Alcohol Resource (BAR) five-day educational program. (The contest is named after the speed rack—the place where a bartender stores the bottles and supplies she uses most frequently).
Ever wonder why there are so few female bartenders? Like other male-dominated professions, it's extremely tough to break into the world of bartending. Most women work as cocktail waitresses and never make it behind the bar. It takes years of hard work and help from a mentor to get into the profession, says Speed Rack co-founder Ivy Mix.
"I started bartending at 19 while I was going to Bennington College," says Mix. During the winter term, she avoided the icy Vermont winters by working in a bar in Guatemala.
"I loved being the social conductor of the bar," says Mix, who currently tends bar at the Clover Club, one of the coolest bars in Brooklyn. When she's not working with her friend, Lynnette on Speed Rack events, Mix works as a brand ambassador for Tequila Ocho and Piede Almas, a brand of mescal.
Mix worked for years as a cocktail waitress before Julie Reiner, a respected bar owner and beverage director at the Flatiron Lounge and the Clover Club, gave her a chance to prove herself as a bartender. Reiner also mentored Lynnette Marrero, an actress who started her career in musical theater. Between gigs, Marrero worked as a temp to pay the bills. Tired of temping, she started working in a wine bar and then served cocktails in a martini lounge. Reiner also serves as a Speed Rack judge.
When a reporter for Beverage Girl asked Reiner why there are so few female bartenders she replied, "I guess it's a very competitive, testosterone-filled, aggressive thing for a lot of people," adding that the women she's trained are, "so fast, they are able to multi-task, they're able to handle things coming at them all at once and not get flustered. She says successful female bartenders are "tough girls" who have to be heard over a crowd.
Reiner initially hired Lynnette as a cocktail waitress, challenging her to learn how to make a new cocktail every day. "Julie gave me a shot behind the bar and I started doing bar consulting."
Both Speed Rack organizers trained with master distillers and continue to hone their craft. They also belong to Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails, a sort of sorority for female bartenders.
I'll be covering the competition on May 16. If you are in the New York area, we'll see you there.

Michaela was very fond of drawing rainbows. As you may know, I have discovered in the last couple of months that I can get tattoos. I'd always wanted them but for some reason thought I was too "old." I have a couple now, but this drawing will be the inspiration for my next one, scheduled for late March. I actually had to post this picture on the blog so I could upload it and send it to my tattoo artist, but I hope you enjoy it anyway, as an example of Michaela's bright spirit.
So ironic that she loved rainbows and was kidnapped at the rainbow market.

Burt Bacharach in the 1960s and 1970s: Artists Who Had Him Covered
Written by Rudy Radelic
The Burt Bacharach and Hal David songwriting machine was running full speed ahead through the 1960s. While Dionne Warwick was the singer of many of their best tunes, there were plenty of other artists through the 1960s and early 1970s who made their mark on songs that Bacharach and David had composed. This installment looks at a handful of notable recordings.
If there is one tune in Bacharach's catalog that he claims as his overall favorite, "Alfie" is it, and he has mentioned this on multiple occasions. This version from 1966 was a hit by Cilla Black in the UK.
This 1970 Bacharach/David tune about suburban flight, "Everybody's Out of Town" by B.J. Thomas, was given a whimsical turn with its arrangement, featuring a tuba and banjo beneath the sophisticated lyrics. B.J. Thomas hit Number One with "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head," and also covered a handful of other Bacharach/David songs, including "Send My Picture to Scranton, PA" and "Long Ago Tomorrow."
Manfred Mann took the recording session for "My Little Red Book" in stride. Because he wasn't playing the strident piano chords to Bacharach's satisfaction, the composer sat with Mann at the piano, banging out the piece together until it matched what Bacharach was hearing in his head. No hard feelings, though, and the tune would appear in the soundtrack for the 1965 film, What's New, Pussycat?
Dionne Warwick had already sung Hal David's "message" lyric, "Windows of the World," a tune of concern about the Vietnam War. "What the World Needs Now" is more direct in its approach to anti-war sentiment, with Jackie DeShannon recording the definitive version. It was Grammy-nominated and inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
"One Less Bell to Answer" had quite a few cover versions, but the 5th Dimension did one of the finest renditions with their jazzy take on the tune.
So, what happens when you attempt to make a movie adaption of a Broadway stage production, which itself was an adaption of a very popular film? You get an unused song, "Seconds." Although a movie adaptation of Promises, Promises never got produced, Bacharach, having split from Hal David at this point, paired with Neil Simon to write tunes for the possible film. This recording by Gladys Knight & The Pips appeared on their 1974 album I Feel A Song, with the arrangement by Bacharach.
Trini Lopez of "Lemon Tree" and "If I Had a Hammer" fame cut this Bacharach/David tune, "Made in Paris," in 1965.
Here is another standout: Jackie DeShannon's swinging take on "So Long Johnny" from her album Are You Ready For This? DeShannon has covered a handful of other Bacharach/David songs, and they are well worth seeking out.
And here is a Bacharach/David tune that never became anything more than a minor hit: "To Wait for Love." Given all the versions I've heard (including Tony Orlando, Jackie DeShannon, Tom Jones, Herb Alpert, Jay and the Americans, and others), this recording from the mid-1960s is no better or worse than the others, but remained unreleased until 2013, when Columbia Records released recording sessions that Patti Page made for the label that were never used on singles or albums. She made her mark on the charts in the 1950s with novelty tunes like "How Much is That Doggie In the Window?" for Mercury, but at Columbia, she entered a second and less successful phase singing more serious material.
I'll leave you with a curiosity from 1969, back in the era when everyone from Wendy Carlos to Isao Tomita were "switching on" and exploring making music via Moog and other synthesizers. Here is Christopher Scott, from the album Switched-On Bacharach (no, I couldn't make this up!), with "What's New, Pussycat?"
We've covered many recordings penned by the Burt Bacharach and Hal David songwriting team, but what about Bacharach's work beyond his split with Hal David in the mid 70s? We will look at newer recordings by Bacharach in our next installment.

BillK says:
I never saw "What the World Needs Now" as an anti-war song per se, but rather just a timeless message as important today as then.
Also, this is an awesome video of the 5th Dimension "singing" One Less Bell to Answer from a 1970 episode of the TV show "It Takes a Thief."

The definitive My Little Red Book was by Love. Love Manfred Mann but the organ does not work with this song. Love replaces it with percussion. Gives it more oomph!
Frank Doris says:
I agree; Love's version is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7SFpxWpcOw
emtor says:
Love's cover of Little Red Book was probably the most popular but midwest "psychdelic" band The Litter did the suparlative version on their Emerge LP.
Not a fan of that version. Some psychdelic songs went a bit too far. The song has a great beat and tune, which gets lost in all the noise. My opinion.
Rahsaan Roland Kirks cover of Walk On By might be be little too much for you too. It's pretty noisey.
I believe Love is considered to be one of the foremeost "Psychedelic" (or let's say Acid Rock) bands of the Southern CA 60's scene. They're just always mentioned last, like It's A Beautiful Day up north.

Survivor: Winners At War
Episode 13 – The Edit Bay
What is the edit telling us after episode 13?
By Martin Holmes
Weeklies 11 May 2020
Hello all, welcome to the Edit Bay, a swanky island resort located just south of the Edge of Extinction. As you may know, I've decided not to write Edgic this season due to a mix of fatigue and not having the time or desire to do a deep dive edit analysis on a season with the EOE in play. However, because readers have been asking for some form of edit-based content, I've decided to create the Edit Bay as a happy compromise. I won't be assigning ratings or breaking down every character, instead, I will offer some "hot takes," if you will, on the narrative arcs and top winner contenders.
"MAIN HEADLINES"
LIONS VS. HYENAS — This storyline was put on the backburner for a couple of weeks, but you always knew it would return, given the amount of focus it had earlier in the season. Again, it was Tony leading the narrative, talking about the threat of the hyenas teaming up and taking out the lions in the home stretch. It's this reasoning that explains the targeting of Michele and Nick in the latest episode.
With Nick eliminated, it leaves Michele as the last remaining hyena, while Tony obviously stands out as the main lion. At this point, with Michele as the lone hyena, it means we can rule out a conclusion involving the hyena pack devouring the lions. That is unless a "lesser threat" returns from the Edge.
What we do have, though, is a potential underdog story for Michele as the last hyena standing. Could it be a winning story? It's not impossible, but I find it unlikely, given Michele's post-merge edit. That said, I expect the lions vs. hyena narrative to continue in the season finale.
FIRE TOKENS REPRESENT YOUR LIFE — The last day for spending fire tokens has come and gone. In the previous episode, we saw Nick pay a whopping eight tokens for a chance to disadvantage Ben in the Immunity Challenge. Despite using the advantage, Nick didn't follow through with targeting Ben and ended up getting blindsided himself. There was definitely some irony here, as Nick was the person in the premiere that talked about using fire tokens correctly to find success.
On the other side of the coin, there is Natalie, the Queen of the Edge. Natalie has been a mascot for the fire tokens from the start, and if anyone has used them to her advantage, it's the San Juan del Sur champ. "All I care about is getting fire tokens," she said in the latest episode. And boy, did she get her hands on tokens… 14 in total.
Using her tokens to purchase multiple challenge advantages, an idol, and a jar of peanut butter, Natalie is the odds on favorite to return. I will be shocked if it's anyone else. It makes sense edit-wise, with Natalie being the representative of correctly using tokens. But even beyond the edit, she is a challenge beast with three advantages in the BuyBack challenge. How do you bet against that?
GOTTA GET TONY — Surprisingly, Tony's name wasn't even on the chopping block at the past two Tribal Councils, despite having no Immunity necklace. But there was one player who recognized the threat Tony poses. Michele told Sarah that nobody will beat Tony at the end, and so, he has to go. Sarah, though, kind of laughed it off to the rest of the group.
This ties back into the Lions vs. Hyenas story, with Michele, the crafty hyena, being the one person looking to take down the lion, that being Tony. I would imagine Michele vs. Tony to be a big part of the last episode.
ENDURE & LET GO — Denise finally got some substantial post-merge content in the latest episode. She talked about how the game had been getting to her and how she had to learn to "endure and let go." It was more of a personal story than a strategic one.
I also think it's a strong sign that she is not winning. The whole "endure and let go" mantra means that Denise doesn't have to win to succeed. She can still take something away from this experience, win, lose, or draw. It's almost like she is accepting the defeat with grace. The endure portion could suggest she makes it to Day 39, but the let go part hints at failure, but a failure that will be accepted.
BEN'S SOCIAL GAME — This has been a simmering story from very early on in the season. Ben talked a lot about how he wanted to have a good social game this time around. He's brought it up since then in several confessionals. But the edit has often undermined his so-called improved social game. We saw him rubbing Boston Rob and Adam the wrong way in the pre-merge, and post-merge, he beefed with Jeremy.
Is the story that Ben's failure to improve his social game will cost him? If he's sitting at the Final Tribal, will the jury rip him apart?
THE CONNECTIONS
COPS R US — As suspected, the season's most prominent alliance is finale bound. Sarah and Tony have had their ups and downs along the way, but they've managed to stick together. Tony made a promise back in Episode 2 that he'd remain loyal to Sarah this time around and make it up to her for his betrayal in Cagayan. And, despite the Sophie vote, he's stuck to his word, even offering to play his idol for her.
For her part, Sarah has stayed loyal to Tony, even when his actions have annoyed or worried her. It has always been about Cops R Us first, fighting to the end, and battling it out to see who is the better player. The pair cemented that in the latest episode as they reminisced about their journey across three seasons. "You won one, I won one," Sarah said. "Tie-breaker," replied Tony.
It really does seem like we're heading for a Cops R Us showdown. And it seems unlikely that one will turn on the other at this stage. The question is, though, does the showdown take place at the Final Tribal Council? Or could the face-off in fire? Tony brought up the latter option in this episode, so it's definitely on the table. There is one other option, and that could be Tony falling on his sword for Sarah. For example, Tony could play his idol to save Sarah and wind up getting voted out himself. I feel like that is the least likely of the three options, but it's certainly possible, even if fire or the FTC battle is more realistic.
BEN, SARAH, & TONY — These three have been working together for a while now. But it wasn't until this past episode where we heard of their Final 3 deal. I could see this FTC configuration being a possibility, with Sarah and Tony duking it out while Ben is brushed aside by the jury due to his failure of a social game. But it's perhaps a little too clean. And after the Denise, Michele, & Nick Final 3 alliance went nowhere last week, it's probably not a good idea to put faith in a F3 mentioned out of the blue this late into the season.
BEN, DENISE, & SARAH — The same can be said about this grouping. Denise broached the subject of going to the end together while Tony was listening from his Spy Nest. The fact that Tony overheard Denise's plan and talked to Sarah about it, most likely suggests this is also a dead-end of an alliance.
EDGE CONTENDERS
Next week will see the first battle back challenge of the season. Who will return? Well, let's have a look at the contenders.
Who will return from the Edge and make up the Final 6? As I said earlier, I'd be shocked if it was anyone other than Natalie. Perhaps early on in the season, you could argue her air-time was circumstantial. She kept finding tokens and advantages, so, of course, she would get content. But, likewise, all those tokens and advantages are what make her the favorite to win the BuyBack challenge.
The other thing is, Natalie's edit has been great outside of just dominating the EOE tasks. They didn't need to show so many of the castaways showering Natalie with praise. "She's a machine," " a Terminator," "the Queen of the Edge." And then there are little things like asking for good vibes from her baby niece. If Natalie didn't return, I could see all those things being left aside. She could have just been a mouthpiece to explain the tokens and advantages, but there was personal content and positivity on top of that.
I don't think this is going to be a Chris Underwood situation, where an underedited player comes back into the game. I said it way back, but this is Season 40, the all-winners season. The person coming back at the end will be edited as being worthy of returning. So, if it was a quieter player that came back, say Amber or Danni, I still think the edit would have focused on them a lot more, even if they weren't winning tokens, etc.
The only other possibility that I could consider is Tyson. We did get the scene where Natalie bought him an idol, and he talked about fighting to get back and how if he did, he would win. I still think it's a longshot, however. This scene seemed more about Natalie than it did Tyson. The Edge of Extinction, along with the fire tokens, is Natalie's story.
And so, it's come to this, we're down to our Final 5, soon to be Final 6, and a champion of champions is about to be crowned. As I said last week, the contenders are pretty much narrowed down to Tony or Sarah. In fact, I think things are even more set in stone than before.
Last week, there was an outside possibility of the hyenas taking over when we suddenly had a mention of a Denise, Michele, and Nick final three alliance. The alliance had no immediate impact in that episode, which felt strange. So I considered whether it was set up for this episode, with the three coming together to topple the majority.
Of course, that didn't happen. There was no real mention of this trio, outside of Tony worrying they may come together. But as we saw, Denise was firm with the Tony/Sarah/Ben alliance. And Nick once again voted opposite to Michele, leading to her giving him a grilling back at camp. After all this, it basically ruled out the hyenas coming out on top.
Even if Michele goes on an underdog run, I still don't see her winning. She's had a solid story, especially in the pre-merge. A large part of her narrative was about proving herself, showing that she deserved her first win. But that screams journey edit, to me at least. And her post-merge edit was massively inconsistent, particularly the conclusion to her storyline with Wendell. And there were important moments where we didn't hear her perspective, such as at the Tyson vote. If Michele was the winner, I feel like we'd have heard more from her. Not to mention, she was on the original Sele tribe, and as a complex tribe believer, I have to go with the winner being from Dakal.
So, that leaves Tony and Sarah, at least, as far as those currently in the game. The whole season seems to have been leading to this Cops R Us showdown. Both are strong contenders, but the edit leans heavily in Tony's favor. We've heard his perspective on the game and the dynamics far more often than Sarah. His premiere and merge episodes were far stronger than hers. And this episode sort of made Sarah look unaware of Tony's threat level at a Final Tribal. While that might not be the reality, as I believe Sarah could probably give Tony a run for his money, the edit suggests that Sarah is mistaken for thinking she stands a chance.
Tony's edit has been crafted from the start. He began by explaining how he had to contain himself… Tony on probation. He didn't want to make himself a target by running into the jungle looking for idols. We saw him channeling his energy into other things, like building ladders and collecting fruit. These japes lowered the guards of his competitors and showed of his social, likable said, commented upon by several players throughout the season. All the while, he said he was waiting for his chance to deliver the sucker-punch.
After making the merge, he came alive, returning to the Tony of old—the frantic pace, the idol searches, the spy shacks, the flip-flopping. The question was whether this would be his downfall or he got the timing just right. As he heads into the finale, the signs look to be that he got the timing right. On top of all this, he has been the main proponent of the lions vs. hyenas narrative, which has been a central theme of the season. So, as crazy as it may have seemed pre-season, Tony heads into the final as the favorite to win it all.
The only other option is an Edge of Extinction wildcard. As mentioned, Natalie looks to be the favorite to return, and she has an edit big enough and positive enough to pull off the win. I'd like to think, though, that this all-winners season wouldn't end with the first boot being crowned champion. Perhaps that is just me being an optimist, which is probably foolish given the state of 2020. And that's not a knock on Natalie, who I enjoy as a player. I wouldn't want anyone previously voted out winning, so I have to think and hope that Tony is taking this, and if not Tony, then Sarah.

Great analysis. Is it even fun to watch these episodes when you can see behind the edit so well? 🙂 I mean, are you ever surprised?
Kai Lei says:
Tony has played a fantastic game. As much as he drives me crazy, he probably deserves the win. I would rather see Sarah, Nat or Denise win this season so I hope he gets voted out.
Ant says:
I'm loving this new format of "The Edit Bay" and I hope you have enjoyed doing it. I feel this gives a more well rounded thought process to what the edit is showing us verse the rating system of each individual player. Congrats on another great season!

Stories of Young People
Oranges, the team's staple food when on ministry road trips. Last year it was with Team Buyela from Youth for Christ in South Africa.
Above, Precious Moyo (left) with Caroline Muzondo while out in Mashake rural community just outside Victoria Falls, ministering at a village school in July 2013.
Precious Moyo, a first year student at Leeds Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom, got involved with Youth for Christ in the preliminary casting of 'Red Factor' – a creative arts ministry production to be presented in theatre, schools and communities. She was part of a small contingent to the team's first trip to Youth Week in South Africa since 1985. This camp, held in the first week of January 2013, is an eye opener for many young people who are inspired to be part of what God is doing through various Youth for Christ ministries. Soon after returning from Youth Week, Precious got involved in a volunteer program, where she served on the team until she went to university in September. What follows is her story about her journey with the Youth for Christ ministry in Zimbabwe.
"I am so grateful to be a part of the Youth for Christ family. Each and everyone involved has played a significant role in my personal, and, most importantly, spiritual, growth. Moving to Leeds for university has been a big step. l have left so much behind – from friends to family and – Home! But l have so much to look forward to, especially when standing in the promises of God. When l look back, l realize how much l learned from 'Red Factor', Youth Week, the April camps and CTI Ministry tour… l thank God for the privilege l had to be part of such an amazing team with the craziest, most incredible, loving people. I love you guys so much and l miss you a whole lot!"
Youth for Christ sees the potential in every young person, and the time invested in them is meant to help develop godly and exemplary character, helping them to have a clearer perspective of their purpose – especially in their relationship with Christ for their future. Hopefully, this helps them become courageous to step out of their comfort zones making a difference for Jesus. The April 2013 Holiday camps were the first such camps Youth for Christ has run in Zimbabwe in years, and CTI music ministries sent a team for the first time since 1998.

Mummy's Little Blog: The Snowman and the Snowdog musical Display Review.
The Snowman and the Snowdog musical Display Review.
It is true I am a massive sucker for The Snowman, I do not know what it is about it but it just makes me feel so warm and happy. I think its because as a child it was on every Christmas eve and it was a sign for me and my sisters that it was really Christmas. The magical time we had been waiting for was coming. So as an adult I still have that love for it all. We were offered to review something from The Christmas World and I saw this Snowman I could not resist.
It came and the kids loved it straight away, I found some batteries and it was on for a good hour. The babies loved the lights and the little figure and we were spinning whilst listening to the twinkle of familiar Christmas Carols.
The figure Is hand painted and contains different colour LED lights .The snowman and the Snow dog Rotate in the middle and you can have the option to turn the music of and just have the lights. It measures 28cm so is just perfect size for the fire place or a window seal. Its also battery powered meaning you do not need to find yet another plug for lights! It really is beautiful and even more so if you love The Snowman like me (and the kids who are forced to like it).
This snowman figure retails at £24.99 from the Christmas world and came really quickly. I would also whilst you are there look at Christmas world website there is tons of Christmas items from trees to outside inflatables. If you have been into the range this website will knock the range out of the water with the amount of stuff that they have, So what are you waiting for there is always more decorations you can add!


Text and image excerpts from the published book.
The following photographic essay is a visual documentation of musical times. I invite you to contemplate the value of expression through music and imagery. For when people join in song, there is something special about it, I am sure of it.
Self-serve audio or best friends that accompany the tunes vary each set. On a dive bar stage such as this, the community shares their emotions and thoughts. Some play the same songs every week, others use their stage time to rehearse for bigger shows. But everyone pays to play as they drink and sing the night away.
I hear not just the chorus of voices but the supporting tambourines, maracas, and drums in the audience as well. The song quiets and then swells, as it does in a good version of American Pie, and before long the audience changes the tune to the repetitive sound of clapping.
Communication happens between two entities; performers need an audience.
Kevin, drummer for The Bad Influences, is lining up his drum set casually at one of the tables, giving the appearance of some sort of drum caravan arriving just in time for a beer. While Kevin took a break from packing up his drum set, he took a drink of his beer, looked at me, laughed and said, "My mom told me I should have been a piccolo player, it would be a lot easier to put away".
Open mic is a place to vent, explore and share. While a musician's career is overwhelmingly uncertain most of the time, a community that encourages expression is what every artist needs.
Performing music in front of an audience is exhilarating because it gives those who dare to do so a chance to give others a deeper meaning of themselves, a more musical and abstract form of communicating expression.
In these small, dark, and casual bars, musicians talk of balancing commerce and creativity. Everyone is an artist. Though some excel because of dedication and motivation, all appreciate expression in its purest form.

Q: Different logo for sticky header in XTheme I'm using this code to give me a different sticky logo when I start scrolling down the page.
jQuery(function($) {
  $(window).scroll(function() {
    if ($('.x-navbar').hasClass('x-navbar-fixed-top')) {
      $('.x-navbar-fixed-top .x-brand img').attr('src', 'http://placehold.it/120?text=Secondary+Logo!');
    } else {
      $('.x-navbar .x-brand img').attr('src', 'http://placehold.it/120?text=Original+Logo!');
    }
  });
});

It works fine, the only thing is that when I scroll back up the page, it doesn't change the logo back to the original logo. How can I tweak the code to show the original logo when I scroll back up to the top of the page?

A: You can use window.scrollY, the code will look something like this
jQuery(function($) {
  $(window).scroll(function() {
   if(window.scrollY === 0) {
     $('.x-navbar .x-brand img').attr('src', 'http://placehold.it/120?text=Original+Logo!');
   }
   else
   {
    if ($('.x-navbar').hasClass('x-navbar-fixed-top')) {
      $('.x-navbar-fixed-top .x-brand img').attr('src', 'http://placehold.it/120?text=Secondary+Logo!');
    } else {
      $('.x-navbar .x-brand img').attr('src', 'http://placehold.it/120?text=Original+Logo!');
    }
   }
  });

Q: Equality on the definition of conditional expectation It is hard for me to see that for any B and for any $A \in \mathscr G$
$$E[I_{B}E[I_AY|\mathscr G ]] = E[I_{B}I_AE[Y|\mathscr G ]] $$
Could someone help me to see it
Note: I would like to understand why this equality hold, I know that since $1_A$ is $\mathscr G$ measurable I could bring it outside the conditional expectation.

A: Let $(\Omega, \mathcal{F},P)$ be a probability space; $\mathcal{G}$ a sub-$\sigma$-algebra of $\mathcal{F}$; and $Z$ a random variable on $\Omega$ so that $Z\in L^1$. By definition, you might know that $E[Z\mid \mathcal{G}]$ is a  random variable on $(\Omega,\mathcal{G})$ (also in $L^1$) satisfying
$$E[1_AE[Z\mid\mathcal{G}]]=E[1_AZ]$$
since $A$ is $\mathcal{G}$-measurable. Take the random variable $Z=Y1_B$ on $\Omega$ (with finite expectation), and you are done.
Ok, see that
$$E[1_AE[1_BY\mid\mathcal{G}]]=E[1_A1_BY]=E[1_A1_BE[Y\mid \mathcal{G}]].$$

Trying to Understand the SNES's SPC700: How to create SNES-like music?
ChipMusic.org / Forums / Nintendo Consoles / Trying to Understand the SNES's SPC700: How to create SNES-like music?
1 Jan 27, 2016 6:50 am
ADE-Syndicate
I've been trying to figure out how to compose music that accurately models the music that can come from a SEGA Genesis and Super Nintendo. FM synthesis is fairly easy for me to understand, however the SNES has had me pretty darn confused because it seems to be a little more complicated than FM.
I gathered a bunch of information from around the internet, including here (Neil Baldwin has been pretty helpful from reading other older threads). Here is what I have written down so far.
"The audio chip of the Super NES/Super Famicom (Sony SPC700 via 65816 RAM(?)) has 8 adaptive differential pulse-code modulation (ADPCM) channels for bitrate reduction- (BRR) compressed samples. All the samples had to be compressed with ADPCM/BRR formats at a ratio of around 3.5:1 (32:9(?)) to less than 64 Kilobytes to fit on the discrete audio chip's RAM. This means that for every 32 bytes of 16-bit PCM there are 9 bytes of BRR. The size of all the samples should in total not exceed more than 150 kilobytes. The original, raw samples of the instruments are tweaked for downsampling, then downsampled to 8 to 22 kHz, and cut into small loops that are then truncated to 8 bits. Equalizing to retain brightness can occur before or after downsampling. Samples are often no larger than 2 kilobytes, having 16 samples to be looped.
The DSP also allowed for echo effects. [How can this be recreated accurately?]
The SNES is capable of Dolby Surround Sound, albeit it was pseudo-surround sound using stereo Q-Sound.
Many games used Nintendo's ready-made samples for its SNES games.
Because there are currently no programs that have simplified the process of making accurately modeled SNES music like FamiTracker does with the NES, the alterations to the original, raw samples must be done manually. I can use BRRTools to compress the raw sample."
Did I get anything wrong here? I want to get these things down pat before I begin shouting from the mountaintops that I can compose music that can (theoretically) be played on an actual SNES.

Have you looked into the SNES GSS tracker?

http://battleofthebits.org/lyceum/View/ … format%29/ gives some info on the snes sound capabilities, and the links at the bottom show how some people make music that can be played back by the snes.
One that isn't mentioned in there that is currently in development is a tracker, native to the snes, being worked on by ctrix and ferris. However, at the moment it is not available.
I used snesmod (an .it to .spc conversion tool) for the first time a month or so ago and it gave some good results. If you're used to tracking, especially in sample trackers such as openmpt, then that may be the best bet. I think the most recent version of that can be found here;
http://www.morganleahrecords.com/august … loads.html
Otherwise you have addmusick which is the Super Mario World music engine, and music is composed in an MML environment instead.
If you're not looking for 100% playback authenticity, then there are some VSTs for DAWs that mimic the limitations - I think one might just be called C700?
Good luck anyway

If there was a way to be able to format whatever SNES music I compose into usable data for a programmer of a SNES homebrew/hack game (if the time ever comes where that is necessary), that would be helpful. I wondered the same thing about that, as well as with the NES and Genesis. This sounds like a pretty, pretty small game dev niche, though it would be a great selling point if and when it becomes available. I learned from looking around that, at least for the NES, the audio needs to be programmed alongside the programming of the rest of the game. I also learned from Neil Baldwin, an original SNES composer, that the audio tech and the "gameplay/graphics" tech were separate, so that leads me to believe that maybe SNES music, unlike NES music, can be inserted after the fact. I could be very wrong about that since I'm no programmer.
I hope the SNES tracker you were talking about comes out soon. The SNES GSS tracker needs a lot of touch-ups like a better GUI, simpler controls, better menu searching, and a live mode. Essentially, FamiTracker but for the Super Nintendo. Super FamiTracker has a nice ring to it. When you say "native" does that mean it will run on the original hardware instead of computer software?
I'll take a look around at those links.
Yeah it will run on original hardware - they did a demo song a while back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di_MnKNDfm0 but there hasnt been news for a bit. Apparently ctrix demoed it at superbyte last year too?
I dont know much about whether snes music files (.spc files) can be easily inserted into a homebrew snes project, my advice is to make a test spc using one of the techiniques mentioned above and then if you have a project you want to insert it in. If you're looking to have sounds alongside music though (ie for in-game sfx etc) you may want to spare 1 of the 8 channels available for that.
Theres a guy on battleofthebits called kungfufurby who's pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the snes, try catching him on IRC some time He'd probs be able to answer the questions you have in more depth.

The tracker by Ctrix isn't native i think... As in the tracker itself is not on a cart or as a ROM file. In a video showing off the tracker it seems like it's on pc tho'... But i really, really want that tracker! I've been using sness gss last couple of days but i'm not sure with the samples...i import wav samples but i know the snes uses brr. Now, does snes gss automatically do the brr part or should i make the wav into brr right away?
TylerBarnes
For as long as they have been holding out on that thing, I do not think it will be anything more than their personal dev software.

Ga. Student With Dyslexia Battles Her Way to College
Gloria Clark, 18, a senior at Decatur High School in Georgia, says she wants to use her experience with dyslexia to advocate for others with disabilities.
Michael A. Schwarz for Education Week
In a poem, Gloria L. Clark once wrote that dyslexia is like loving a guy who doesn't love you back—and his name is "Word."
Despite her difficulty deciphering words, the recent high school graduate from Decatur, Ga., says writing poetry and short stories has helped her express what it feels like to deal with dyslexia, the most common disorder in the broad category of "specific learning disabilities."
Gloria, 18, has two published books of poetry and gives motivational speeches to young children so others with dyslexia will know they are not alone.
"Not a lot of kids are open with their disabilities," said Gloria, who hopes her confidence will make it easier for others to advocate for themselves. "I don't hide it."
It hasn't always been easy for Gloria to talk about her dyslexia, a condition of the brain that makes it hard for a person to read, write, and spell. When she was first diagnosed in elementary school, Gloria said she felt like the disorder was an incurable disease and didn't tell her friends why she came early or stayed late to get extra help.
Then, the summer before middle school, Gloria's parents, Christopher and Jenell Clark, posted a list and photos of famous people with dyslexia, including Tom Cruise and Steve Jobs, on the wall in her room.
"They said: 'This is why you are going to be amazing,' " recalled Gloria. "That's when I became a little more open and became a little more swag with myself. I learned how to cope."
Becoming an advocate
By 7th grade, Gloria was leading her individualized education program meetings and giving 15-minute PowerPoint presentations. "It's about me. Nobody knows any more about me than me," she said.
Her mother said she was impressed. "She's a natural extrovert—that's part of her gift," said Ms. Clark.
To accommodate her dyslexia, Gloria gets extra time, has a reader, and gets notes taken for her in school. At home after track practice, she starts working around 6 or 7 p.m., rewriting her notes to reinforce lessons, making flashcards, and sometimes studying until 2 a.m. for a quiz.
We take a look at how six students with disabilities are planning their transition to college and the workforce:
Md. Senior Opts to Study With Other Hearing-Impaired Students
After Eight Years at Lab School, Pa. Student Seeks Culinary Arts Career
Special Ed. Student Aims for College, Political Career
Va. Twin Brothers Find a Place in the Work World
Gloria has a 3.3 grade point average at Decatur High School and just finished an Advanced Placement psychology class to get a feel for college-level work and to prove to doubters that she could do it.
While Gloria knew she could excel in college, she was turned down by her first-choice schools.
"It was hard to accept that most colleges didn't understand me. I'm so good at speaking up for myself, standing in front of a crowd and saying, 'This is who I am.' But for somebody to judge me off of a piece of paper and test scores … . I'm average," she says. "But if you have a conversation with me, I can tell you I'm a great fit for your college."
Gloria discovered the 3,000-student Brenau University while tagging along with a friend on a visit to the Gainesville, Ga., school. A 1,000-student women's college is a cornerstone of the university.
She met an administrator who called her the next day, asking Gloria to enroll. "I said, 'You saw my GPA and my test scores and you still want me?' Wow," she recalled. "It was pretty amazing."
Gloria will attend Brenau this year with financial support from the Georgia State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency and possibly a track scholarship. Although she's nervous, Gloria said the transition to college will be smooth because she has experience with hardship. "I've never had it easy in school, so I know how to fight," she said.
Ms. Clark is not worried, either: "I have no hesitation. She knows how to ask for what she wants. If not, she knows how to go through the proper chain of command."
Data: By the Numbers: Students With Specific Disabilities
Gloria said she thinks the small classes at Brenau will make it easier for her to talk with her professors about accommodations. To get a jump-start, she is going to summer school starting in July. "It will give me one-on-one time to meet with my teachers," she said. "I will get settled in, have my room set up, and by the time everyone else gets there, … I'll be able to chill."
Gloria hopes college will be a chance to become a powerful advocate for people with disabilities, possibly as a civil rights lawyer, and someday change the college-admissions process to focus on people's strengths. "I can't be Superman. I have to have a community behind me to help me," she said, acknowledging her family, counselors, and teachers who have supported her to this point. But she is ready to advocate on her own and for the next chapter of her life at college to begin. "I'm excited to find what I'm good at," she said, "and start my life and to get it going."

Students write and draw positive affirmations on poster board at P.S. 5 Port Morris, an elementary school in The Bronx borough of New York on Aug. 17, 2021. New York City will phase out its program for gifted and talented students that critics say favors whites and Asian American students, while enrolling disproportionately few Black and Latino children, in the nation's largest and arguably most segregated school system.

Modeled after ULI's national Product Councils, Local Product Councils provide opportunities for members in specific development disciplines to connect with peers, study issues in depth, share information, and network with industry leaders.
In addition to local meetings, ULI Houston Product Councils meet once a year with their counterparts from around the State at the annual ULI All-Texas Council Forum.
The local Council meets 2 – 3 times a year in addition to the annual statewide meeting, at the discretion of the council co-chairs. Councils contribute content ideas for meetings to be presented to the full membership at a regular ULI luncheon event.
Because membership in the councils is limited and there are more applicants than available seats, we ask all council members if invited to join a council to make every reasonable effort to attend all council meetings.


The gabion mesh by Nuova Defim successfully passed the "salt spray test"
Oxidation, better known as rust, it's a real threat to steel products, even when they are galvanized. Just consider the effect that the oxidation can have, for exemple, on the gabions that are commonly used not only for wall retaining or river embankments, but also for the protection of military sites, or for "private" applications such as in the case of gabions used as fences.
Gabions quality therefore depends much on their resistance to oxidation, that besides weakening the steel structure, it also gives a bad aesthetic impact.
For this reason, Nuova Defim decided to have their gabion mesh stressed tested to proof their corrosion resistance by the "accelarated corrosion tests in salt spray cabin". These tests are carried out in a specific test room and prove the time duration of articles made of different materials with different galvanic facing or protective coatings.
Salinity in fact is a corrosive agent capablle of attacking the steel surface and favouring the rise of rust. The most exposed points to the pollution agents are the welding knots.
DIN EN ISO 9227-NSS is a technical standard that although does not make clear any criteria of acceptability, it gives technical details on how the tests should be carried out.
UNI EN ISO 10289 instead provides the laboratory with indications to quantify the corrosion on the test sample, rated from 0 to 10 according to the percentage of defects found on it (from 0 to 50%).
The first column indicates the amount of visible oxidation accumulated, ie the % oxidation in relation to the area concerned, pointing in the right column the corresponding rating.
The mesh has successfully passed the test (Rating 10/10) as it showed no signs of red rust after 2000 hours, showing only some white oxidation due to heavy saline environment.
Even in this case, the test was positive and the corrosion resistance has beeen proven scientifically. At the stroke of 2000 hours, it is confirmed the highest rating (10/10). In fact, the first signs of red rust appeared only after 2952 hours exposure, which corresponds to a rating of 8 out of a possible 10.
In additions, the rust has never attacked the wire on its surface, but only showed a few traces very limited to welding areas and only after a long period of exposur.
The successful tests results put Nuova Defim gabion mesh at the top of highly performing European quality and corrosion resistance products.

Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat 13th June 2016: The man spoke to Uttar-Dakshin. He asked for the effect of Gondna tax on people. Uttar gave positive feedback, but Dakshin told about a man who refused to gave tax. That man said he paid tax only to Samrat. But he heard someone shouting, it was his parents.
They were killed by soldiers. The man then decided that they would destroy Magadh. The man laughs, and Uttar-Dakshin bowed down before him. A man heads inside. Ashoka had left with Garud and soldiers. He said that he was leaving Kaurvaki at that point but would follow the words and would meet again if God wishes.
He was outside the gate of Patliputra palace. Ashoka told soldiers that he didn't come there to hurt someone or enter without permission. He told them to inform Rani Dharma. He told them to tell her who he was and to let him in so that he could fulfill the dream which he left ten years ago.
All got happy on hearing this. Bindu asked who tried to get inside Patliputra. Soldiers told that they don't know, but he seemed to be very strong and called himself Rajkumar Ashoka. Sushim thought of tantric's word. Mahamatya reminded that they shouldn't forget that he vowed to kill everyone once.
He asked not to make an emotional decision and remember all that happened ten years ago. Bindu said Ashoka got punishment for what he did. But Mahamatya stated that he was still as aggressive as before. Acharya said Ashoka hadn't crossed limits and protected Ashoka.
He said that Ashoka could have entered inside, but he asked permission for the same. Bindu said everything changes with time. Acharya said Rani Dharma could take the decision now.
Charu was trying to get more beautiful to attract Bindu. He told her about Ashoka standing on the door asking for permission to get in. Charu knew that Samrat left the decision on Dharma. Charu said there was no point in fighting, what had to happen would happen.
Vit asked his mom why she was tensed as she wanted him to come home and she should be happy now. She said he was making her more tensed. Dharma thinks of her dream. Maybe it was beginning of change. She told that she saw sensitive Ashoka turned into an animal.
If she allowed him in, he would kill everyone. He wouldn't leave anyone who insulted her mom and killed his Acharya. Acharya saw good in that as they were beyond the change. He requested her not be hindrance in his destination. He saw Ashoka capable of fulfilling the dream he was knitting. So he wanted to support him.
She allowed Ashoka in. Ashoka smiled on hearing this. He was waiting to hear it since years. He entered in and said JAI JANANI! Soldiers and citizens cheered for Ashoka. Ashoka thought of all vows he took before leaving Patliputra. He walked to Bindu. Bindu asked why he troubled innocent people.
Ashoka taunted him for punishing his own son, wife and newly born kid. He said there is injustice happening in Magadh, which they are unaware of. He told that he freed some innocent people and brought culprits there. But asked who will protect other innocent people? They had to protect Magadh now.

Q: jQuery tooltip disappears after AJAX DOM update In my layout template , just before closing body tag, I have a Javascript that initializes jQuery tooltips. Here it is (nothing extraordinary):
$('.grid-column-header, .small-button, .text-with-second-content').tooltip({ show: { effect: "none"} });

Everything works fine until I perform AJAX updates. For instance, an ASP. NET UpdatePanel that replaces a part of my DOM. After DOM is replaced, jQuery tooltip disappears.
Is there a way to address this issue?
p.s. this problem applies to other plugins. Sometimes I get around this problem just by calling pluting initialization code once again after AJAX call.

Remote sensing methodology was applied to assess two land cover parameters (elevation and soil moisture) in the first stage.Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM) was used to build a map of the water catchment basins within the Wadi El K'sob area. Relative soil moisture for the territory of the Wadi El K'sob catchment area was estimated by using the Sentinel-1/Multispectral Instrument (MSI) and Landsat-8/Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) optical multispectral data. Elevation data of the sampling points range from 398 to 1081 meters above sea level. Soil moisturevaried from 0.2 to 0.37 relative units. The effects of altitude and physico-chemical properties of soil on soil microflora communities in the catchment area of Wadi El K'sob M'sila (Algeria) were investigated in the second stage. The work presented here identified three groups of microorganisms in the soil samples collected in spring 2017from 7 locations situated in the catchment area of Wadi El K'sob M'sila (Algeria) along with 11 physico-chemical characteristics. Statistical tests showed that actinomycetes, fungi and mesophilic bacteria were positively correlated to the altitude. The results revealed that the microflora communities was very dependent on soil physico-chemical characteristics, the main parameters were relative soil moisture, texture, pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, organic matter, total nitrogen and available potassium. Generally, the parameters analyzed in this study, indicate a change in the soil microflora community according to the altitudinal and soil physico-chemical variations.

Q: One program in a Branch will not Reconize ONE REFERENCE I've created a branch and after realizing that all i needed to do was add the .dll of the other programs,life is looking up ;). Anyway, after 5 hours it's time to hit the overflow again for a final issue and I will feel as if I accomplished something.
I've created a branch and all the nessesserry programs that are to be worked on are in the branch, and all the references are copied and pasted as .dlls, feel like i did something. ;)
Anyway, I've got one program that will not reconize one dll or any built in reference or any Nuget packages, believe me i've tried every thing under the sun, and i mean everything to my knowledge and after 5 hours it's time to get to the StackOverflow.
Please see my two snap shots and give me a hint as to want in the wold to do. Now, every program had to have it's references reset and no issues but this one is a rouge, I've removed it, deleted it, re-added it, what's next? I'm lost.
Please advise.

Q: Java Regex that accept any string other than all dashes I have facing problem for creating a Regex that accept any string other than all dashes i.e. if string contains all the dashes it should be rejected.
i tried [0-9-]* but it accept all dashes
and -*[0-9]+ it does what i want but don't allows shuffling(I mean mixed string of 0-9 and -(dash)).
for example trt-09tr- should be accepted.
---rte434rt should be accepted.
- should be rejected.
------ should be rejected.
---6 accepted.
--u accepted.
if some one could help me.
thank you

A: You want negative lookahead for that, one that matches the whole input: (?!^-+$).*
for (String in : new String[] {"trt-09tr-", "---rte434rt", "-", "------",
                               "---6", "--u"})
  System.out.println(in.matches("(?!^-+$).*"));

prints
true
true
false
false
true
true

A: Try this regular expression:
^-*$

Each String that matches can be discarded.
String r = "^-*$";
System.out.println(!"----".matches(r));    // false
System.out.println(!"--e--".matches(r));   // true
System.out.println(!"-e-e-e-".matches(r)); // true


Milan 2015: London designer Max Lamb presented 42 of his seat designs made using a wide variety of materials and processes within a disused garage in Milan last week (+ slideshow).
For his Exercises in Seating retrospective exhibition, Max Lamb arranged a variety of his chairs and stools in a circle that took up the full width of Spazio Sanremo in the city's 5vie design district.
The items were ordered roughly chronologically, starting from his first pieces created while studying at London's Royal College of Art (RCA) through to the most-recent products, which were designed specifically for the show.
Curated by design consultant Federica Sala, the exhibition took the title of Lamb's RCA thesis that he completed in 2006.
"Exercises in Seating is a living catalogue of the chair as an archetype of man and emblem of the conviviality denied at the act of creation," said Sala.
The designer's range of experiments with materials and their resulting forms was reiterated by showing the variety of pieces side by side.
"Each piece represents a different phase in the same obsessive search for the identity of the material, sometimes brutally sculpted, other times formally measured, released and recomposed," Sala said.
Lamb's early designs on show included the 2006 Pewter Stool, formed by pouring the liquid metal into a mould dug out from sand.
The creation of the Bronze Poly Chair, from the same year, involved hand-carving a polystyrene chair and then casting it in bronze.
The Delaware Bluestone Chair was carved from 120 kilograms of solid rock, while the Rusty Sheet Steel Chair was folded from a section of oxidised metal.
Moving around the circle, visitors also came across a spruce pine chair designed to be assembled by its user and a lounge seat with a frame made entirely from standard wooden dowels.
A chair Lamb created as part of an installation in Milan last year – in which walls, floor and furniture were all made from a speckled engineered marble – was also displayed.
Other materials presented in the exhibition included expanded polystyrene, enamelled steel, ebonised Scottish oak and wool felt.
"The ongoing investigation dedicated to the material, unable to find a point of arrival even after excellent formal results, gives life to a series of numerical variants or experimental variations on the same piece," said the curator.
Exercises in Seating was on show from 14 to 19 May at Via Zecca Vecchia 3 for Milan design week.


A few months back we got the aggressively mediocre Batman v Superman, then a few weeks ago we got the more cohesive but still slow and clunky directors cut. It was up to David Ayer in one of the most hyped movies of the summer to "right the ship". So did it?
Not really. Now I didn't hate this movie, it had moments. Will Smith and Margo Robbie are the stars of the show and they did a good job as Deadshot, a hitman with a code and Harley Quinn, the slightly crazy lady who's good with a baseball bat and a one liner. His charisma and her crazy really elevated the story at times when it would otherwise be dull. The rest of the team is more or less over shadowed but they all somewhat get their moment to shine. Amanda Waller was played with genuine authority by Viola Davis and was a decent gatekeeper for the unruly bunch, staying a step ahead of them at all times, thwarting their attempts to escape her team.
The opening 20 minutes or so plays out the longest introduction scene ever, and it repeats itself with Harley and Deadshot for some reason. It was an awkward start for sure. My other issue was the almost constant needle drops and the flashy graphics at the start, making the characters look like twisted neon baseball cards. It just clashed with the movie and felt like they were trying too hard to be "Guardians". It is also pretty choppy things don't seem to flow very well, it's sort of cut up and jumpy during some scenes to get them to move along faster by just kind of skipping ahead a bit to save on walking time.
The main issue is the story. It's really bland. The villain is bland, the plan to take them down is bland, the fight sequences are like every other fight you've seen, save for the occasional cool power or show of strength. Also, whats with The Joker? He's almost too into Harley I find, at least compared to Batman TAS Joker. Jared Leto was really strange as Joker too, his voice, mannerisms, it felt like he belonged in a completely different movie. I also wasn't a fan of his thug life persona they gave him. I think that was the problem with this movie, it's characters were second to the story, and it resorted to flashbacks to get that backstory instead of within the movie's main plot save for a bar scene that I rather enjoyed and was a good character expanding moment for Diablo.
Some of the humor was good too. Captain Boomerang providing the most laughs in my opinion, with Harley a close second. Being a "Flash Rogue" we see in his opening montage being taken in by Ezra Miller's Flash. It was a quick clip, just to put that connection in and it worked. Batman's appearance in the film was cool too, Affleck is convincing me more and more of his abilities in the role. Katana was a bit too minor in my opinion, I was interested in her and her story but ultimately she was under-utilized. The other bright spots I found were in the costumes and makeup, all were great and it is more visually interesting than some Marvel movies just in the color palette and style they choose. Civil War being an example of something that looked a bit too squeak clean.
Overall I think it was a movie that got a bit mangled in it's message. Things jumped around and it felt like the movie didn't stop to breath very often and when it did, it didn't provide us much. It certainly felt like style over substance at times and the style isn't up to Snyder's level of pizazz. The team itself was cool, their mission was about as lame as can be. I was hoping we would see a director's cut but Ayer insists the film we see is his cut, so for better or worse this is the Squad we get.

"Let`s all take a long ,deep and soothing breath of fresh air and let`s look ahead of what needs to be done for South Africa to bring the William Webb Ellis back to our country for the third time since 1995."

A lot`s been said over the last few days about the referee and even World Rugby, the governing body worldwide of the game released a statement in which they stated that the referees performances during the opening round of the Rugby World Cup were below par and I quote.
"Following the usual review of matches, the match officials team recognise that performances over the opening weekend of Rugby World Cup 2019 were not consistently of the standards set by World Rugby and themselves"
There are always certain elements on a rugby field, players can control to the best of their ability and preparation and the off course there are certain elements players have absolutely no control over- the bounce of the oval ball and the weather.
The referee falls within a category that is really hard to classify when it comes to how much control players and especially the captain of a team have over. Knowing the referee and how much they allow on the field is crucial in the preparation for any test and even more so come Rugby World Cup. We had to mention the referee and some of his questionable decisions during our opening game of Rugby World Cup against the world champion All Blacks as we now look forward to playing our neighbours, Namibia.
World Cup Rugby is all about winning 7 games in a row, or is it? One thing is for sure and that is the fact that every single game is now a knock out fixtures for South Africa-it`s simple and if you Lose you are out.
Without being arrogant and with the utmost respect to our neighbours, The Boks should have no issue winning and winning comfortably against Namibia. We have seen a good few changes and rightly so as all payers will get some game time during the campaign but it will also keep them sharp and match fit should any players suffer any injury during the pool stages.
Namibia will improve their game as it`s not even a written rule but a given that on any matchday when you play against a team ranked so much higher than yourself, you will raise your game by at least 20%. That's the beauty about the game of rugby and should Namibia lose by 50 points on Saturday they could and I have no doubt they would have given a very good account of themselves. My prediction is that South Africa will be too strong and by 43-50 points.
The importance about this game for South Africa is way more than just a big winning margin. It is about winning and winning well with a very structured approach while creating opportunities and playing what`s in front of you on the rugby field. Good players will play the same whether they are in the own half of the field or on the opposition try line should opportunities present itself.
I again look forward to the game but I am more interested in how the team will bounce back after a very disappointing loss in the opening round.


In 1979, government of Malawi established concrete silos in Kanengo, Lilongwe, to ensure the country has adequate supplies of maize grain, Malawi's staple food, at all times. These silos have a holding capacity of 180,000 metric tonnes, making them the largest silos concentration in Malawi.
The National Food Reserve Agency (NFRA) was established by the Malawi Government in 1999 under a Trust Deed to assume responsibility for the management and operation of the national strategic grain reserve (SGR). In 2000 the Trust Deed was amended to include the stabilization of prices and the grain market, and grain importation and exportation on behalf of Government.
