Home Opinion Roma's Biggest Problem This Season – An Analysis
Roma's Biggest Problem This Season – An Analysis
In Italy, AS Roma has arguably the toughest midfield alongside Juventus in terms of quality and depth- they are well balanced and have a desirable mixture of experience, consistency and aggressiveness in Daniele De Rossi, Radja Nainggollan, Kevin Strootman, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Maxime Gonalons and Alessandro Florenzi. On paper, that is.
Roma started off well and it seemed that we were in for another quality title chase from them but over the last couple of months, Eusebio Di Francesco has taken a hit in terms of the team's performance in the league. The new manager has been able to use Roma's vast depth to a fair amount of efficiency and has built a top notch defense having conceded the least amount of goals in Serie A outsides table toppers Juventus and Napoli. But the frailties, among many reasons, lie primarily in their midfield and in lack of creativity upfront.
This is a humble attempt to analyze Roma's biggest problem this season- the inconsistency or decline of their underperforming midfield and how the absence of a final third creator has deeply affected their output in front of goal. Also a cringe worthy effort to shower some praise on unsung hero Kevin Strootman's carry job this season amidst the decline of De Rossi and Radja.
It is a fair argument if someone claims that Daniele has been performing decently as the Italian veteran can always be counted on to do a job in the base of midfield. But when you make a comparison between his stats for 16/17 and 17/18, it is quite easy to convince anyone on how much he has declined, especially in his defensive contributions.
In 2016/17 De Rossi averaged a total of 4.22 tackles + interceptions per 90, this has reduced to 2.88 per 90 in 2017/18. His dual success rates have fallen from 51% to 38%. His physical decline is very much obvious. Offensively, his KP90, xA, xG stats have dropped, even though those are slight variations that could be down to changes in team tactics.
I do not want to be harsh on the legend but as a captain his performances will affect his team badly, it probably has already. De Rossi is no longer the midfield general he once used to be- he is less confident and lacks the aura he once possessed.
It is only an opinion, but I'm being completely honest when I say Roma should have made the profit on Radja when they had the chance to. Multiple clubs were ready to pay well over 45 million euros for the dynamic midfielder. The Belgian has been terrible of late, wandering on the pitch with very little tactical discipline and flying unnecessary shots high over the crossbar. It is possible that the controversies regarding the national team selections as well as his smoking habits might have taken a toll on him.
Even if he is under Eusebio's instructions to position himself further up the pitch in order to utilize his goalscoring abilities to maximum effect, the stats are against him. His direct goal contribution and x G/A have dropped this season and has been less involved in buildup play. On the back foot, Radja's combined total of 2.79 tackles + interceptions per 90 have dropped to 1.72 also losing out on 2.37 tackles per 90 this season compared to 1.72 in 16/17.
Nainggolan has been quite disappointing in front of goal as well. Thunderous long range efforts used to be a trademark of his, but 19 of his 30 attempts on goal this season have been off target. This could just be a dip in form- also the overload of attacking responsibilities in the absence of Salah might have had a negative effect on his game, but if Roma are serious about that CL spot he needs to up his game real quick.
Since his return from what could've been a career ending injury, Kevin Strootman has been one of Roma's most consistent players, often going under the radar as a top level performer. Strootman's ability to dictate play with good movements in either half (at times like a roaming 8) and great final balls for Edin Dzeko from deep used to be a highlight of Spalletti's tenure. But under the new manager Kevin has been limited to a more tactical role in the base of midfield, probably to balance the decline De Rossi has faced recently.
Strootman's attacking stats have taken a hit under the new role but he is contributing in defense much more than he used to, proving how well he has settled into his new role under Di Francesco. In his last season under Spalletti, the Dutchman averaged a total of 2.45 tackles and interceptions per 90 which has risen to 3.94 per 90 under the new manager. This is quite a noticeable rise for a midfielder. He has maintained his xA and xG from last season, but the deeper role means he plays only half as many key passes per 90 compared to 16/17.
Kevin Strootman has always been an underrated midfielder and for AS Roma, an unsung hero for his unquestionable consistency. Along with 21 year old Lorenzo Pellegrini, who has been offering confident performances whenever given an opportunity, Eusebio should look to build a midfield core for the coming 3-4 years.
I'd prefer to keep Gonalons off the equation for the time being, as he is currently injured and hasn't been given enough time on the pitch to be judged.
To put these stats into perspective,
Stats Kevin
16/17 Strootman
17/18 Radja
16/17 Nainngolan
17/18 Daniele
16/17 De Rossi
Key Passes/90 1.77 0.81 2.03 2.01 1.03 0.81
xG/90 0.11 0.14 0.18 0.1 0.14 0.01
xA/90 0.22 0.22 0.22 0.2 0.10 0.05
xG chain/90 0.71 0.45 0.65 0.57 0.47 0.47
Tackles+Int./90 2.45 3.94 2.79 1.72 4.22 2.88
Goals+Assists 11 1 16 6 8 1
Lorenzo Pellegrini
Activating Lorenzo Pellegrini's buy back clause has been without doubt one of the smartest pieces of business from Roma in a few years. And new manager Di Francesco knew exactly what he was bringing along with him as Lorenzo enjoyed a very good spell at Sassuolo under the coach, where the youngster had 12 direct goal contributions in his final season. Pellegrini has been racking up playing time at Roma since his arrival despite the presence of convincing, experienced midfielders ahead of him in the pecking order.
The 21 year old has been used in multiple situations by Roma, acting as rotational option between Strootman and De Rossi. He has thrived in either, putting up decent stats offensively and defensively. Lorenzo has directly contributed to 2 goals and 3 assists this season, backed by xG and xA stats per 90 0.13 and 0.21 respectively. He makes 2.5 key passes per 90, which ranks highest among the Roma midfielders. Pellegrini is a hardworking midfielder who covers a lot of ground and averages 2.85 ball recoveries per 90. Pellegrini also has a natural eye to find the target from long distances and he has already shown that at Roma. Eusebio will certainly look to exploit more of this in the upcoming matches.
In comparison to the aforementioned players, here is a look at Pellgrini's stats:
xG – 0.13
xA – 0.21
KP90 – 2.5
xGchain – 0.43
tackles+interceptions – 2.85
goals + assists – 5
The issue at hand: Lack of an output machine
Roma's biggest issue at hand, the area they failed to consolidate in the summer market- the absence of a final third creator/secondary goalscorer. Under Spalletti in his final season, Roma scored 90 goals in Serie A alone, superseded only by Napoli with 94. To compare, champions Juventus finished with just 77. Come 17/18, after 26 matches Roma have just 40 goals to their name which is sixth best in the league. This is not down to Di Francesco's style of play. He has never been a defensive tactician- his sides score loads.
In my analysis there are three factors that have led to this downfall, two of them being Strootman's new deeper role and Nainggollan's lack of form, as aforementioned. The third, most importantly, has been their failure to replace Mohammed Salah as a final third creator and goalscorer. In his last season at the club, Salah directly contributed to 26 goals in the league in just 31 appearances, making 2.56 key passes per 90, quite unmatched by any current player apart from Edin Dzeko.
It is easy to blame the board for letting him go, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. I would rather blame them for their inability to replace him with a proven, experienced player. Salah's departure has affected Roma as an attacking unit, and also Dzeko individually. Cengiz Under is an exciting signing but as of yet, he's no Mo Salah. It should've been someone in the profile of Riyadh Mahrez, Douglas Costa, Hakan Calhanoglu or even Manuel Lanzini. People praise Monchi for his ability to run the market based on profits, but this failure is on him. Still, there are very few who can do a better job than him. One can fully bank on him to make the necessary moves wisely in time after good planning and not hurry into committing a mistake.
Roma took a wrong step in the summer market, and failed to rectify it in winter. However, mistakes are in the past and should be resolved as soon as possible. They have committed people high up the ladder in Monchi and club legend Francesco Totti. As with Di Francesco, I believe he is more than capable of handling his job. The board and the fans should place their confidence in him and look forward to exciting times that follow influential decisions.

who killed yoren
He refused to give Gendry up saying he belonged to the Watch, which fair enough, I guess, if that was what he really believed, but Gendry hadn't take his vows yet. He is killed by the men of Ser Amory Lorch. But others see Jon as a turncloak and a misguided or evil person who must be stopped. but, if you're right that Rorge killed Yoren, he does seem like a natural-born killer and would be a good example of someone who apparently joins Yoren's enemy. Yoren doesn't go down easy, taking several Lannister soldiers with him before he's skewered by multiple spears and held defenseless for the killing blow. This topic is now archived and is closed to further replies. "I ordered a watch kept over you.

Legalizing Yoren's murder is legalizing the Lannister criminal regime and Joffrey/Cersei's psychopathic tendencies. Yoren is a brother of the Night's Watch. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there are several characters whose first name is Willem (Willem Darry, Willem Frey, Willem Lannister), but none of them has anything to do with Yoren or his family. You want these people fighting for you. The more I think about it, the more I think that Yoren's death is a parallel to the death of Qhorin Halfhand, the Night's Watch ranger who leads Jon Snow through a tunnel in a mountain.

He has a twisted shoulder, the remnants of an injury that left him unable to fight. Yoren was doomed to die there and it wouldn't surprise readers to learn that Rorge killed Yoren to win favor with the attackers. So the identity of the person who killed Yoren may matter a lot: it could lead us to some important parallel stories that foreshadow a future conflict between Bran (Bloodraven) and Jon (Bittersteel) or reveal details about other major players such as Tyrion and Ser Jorah.

If your brothers had not fetched you back, you would have been taken along the way, and not by friends. His coarse, ugly features are hidden by a matted black beard.

He is lice ridden and smells foul. She followed his path by repeating the names of those she wants to kill. Like Yoren. Yoren refuses, and chases off the gold cloaks with his recruits. Now the real question is did Yoren get all of his charges killed by not just opening the damn gate. Arya gets some measure of revenge for Yoren later in the series, who provided the inspiration for her list of names by telling her the story of his brother's killer, Willem, whose name he used to recite like a chant until he had killed him.

Ser Yoren of Donnelwood May 24, 2016 2:10:31 GMT Yoren should have said to the Goldcloaks that Gendry deserted on the march to the wall or something and died and was buried in one of the unmarked graves. Yoren is known for his conduct on the battlefield, his physique, and his skill with a sword. The settling of the wildlings isn't the same as a sellsword invasion, but some members of the Night's Watch see it as a betrayal that places too much trust in a traditional enemy of the NW and of people who live south of the Wall. I'm still interested in the question in the OP about the nature of Yoren's death. Discover (and save!) When Arya was traveling with Yoren, a member of the Night's Watch in Season 2, she met Jaqen H'ghar (who would go on to teach her the ways of the Faceless) and Rorge, a man who had threatened her. He uses her sword to stab Lommy in the neck after the boy got injured, Arya then tricks them into believing Lommy was Robert Baratheon's bastard son, Gendry, who is also among the captives. They already had a perfectly good acknowledged highborn bastard in Edric Storm who was already living in the Stormlands. In that time he has only lost 3 recruits. Powered by Invision Community.

Ryanair cuts free check-in window to just four days
Faye Lipson
If you're flying on budget airline Ryanair, from next month you'll have to pay a fee if you want to check in more than four days before you fly.
The change applies to anyone checking in for a flight on or after 1 November, including those with pre-existing bookings.
It means holidaymakers returning to the UK more than four days after their departure – for example, those going away for a week – will need to access the internet while abroad to check in online to avoid paying the charge. If this isn't possible you'll have to pay up to £15 per person to reserve a seat before you depart.
Whatever you do, don't leave checking in until you get to the airport though. If you do, you'll pay a hefty £45 per person, per flight – that's £180 for a family of four if you get it wrong. For full help in mastering the airline's mega-strict rules to keep your flight cheap, see our 20 Ryanair Tips guide.
What is Ryanair changing?
Ryanair passengers can choose between paying for a seat or not paying and being randomly allocated seating.
If you pay for a seat (typically £8-£15 per person, though there are sometimes sales), you can check in for no additional charge up to 30 days before flying. This isn't changing.
If you don't pay for a seat, you can currently check in for free between two hours and seven days before departure. However for anyone checking in from Tuesday 1 November, this is changing to between two hours and four days before departure.
The airline says it's shaving three days off the free check-in window because it believes this will "increase the choice available" to customers who opt to pay for reserved seats by giving them a greater time frame in which to choose.
It's emailing affected customers who booked before the changes were announced, and those customers will have the right to cancel and request a refund within 5 days of being notified.
How to dodge the fee - use the app
The new rules mean if you want to check in for free and are going abroad for more than a couple of days, you're now likely to need to check in overseas.
The easiest way to do this is via Ryanair's free app (for iOS or Android). In most cases you can also get your boarding pass on the app too, meaning no hassle trying to find a printer. Remember though, beware costly roaming charges if you're overseas and use Wi-fi if you can.
Mobile boarding cards aren't accepted at a few airports though, mainly in Morocco - see a full list in our Ryanair Tips guide.

Home Culture My Sheptytsky
My Sheptytsky
By Shimon Redlich -
One of the world's most famous historians of the Holocaust (he himself is a survivor) and the author of "Together and Apart in Brzezany: Poles, Jews and Ukrainians, 1919-1945", Shimon Redlich remembers the legacy of the great Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky. From 1901 until his death in 1944, the legendary Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church personally intervened to save hundreds of Jews from the Germans. The title of Righteous Among the Nations, bequeathed by the state of Israel to individuals who saved Jews during the Holocaust, has never been bestowed upon Sheptytsky. This fact remains deeply controversial among Sheptytsky's impassioned champions.
The first time that I heard about Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky was sometime in the late 1950's. I had immigrated from Poland to Israel a few years earlier. Aunt Rachel, my father's younger sister, who left Brzezany for Palestine prior to World War II, told me that my great-grandfather, Mekhl Redlich, was among those who greeted Sheptytsky when he visited our town before the First World War. As I would learn later, Sheptytsky had indeed arrived in Brzezany for a canonical visit in 1901, and was greeted by local clergy with crosses and by Jewish rabbis carrying a Torah scroll.
For years, I had a very vague notion of Sheptytsky and his relations with Jews. It was only in the mid 80's, when I was a Visiting Scholar at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute and was invited to present a paper on " Sheptytsky and the Jews During World War II" at Toronto University, that I began immersing myself into the story of Sheptytsky's life and conducting research on the Metropolitan's complex relations with Judaism and Jews. My interest in a Ukrainian who saved Jews during the Holocaust wasn't accidental. My close family was saved by a Ukrainian peasant woman from the village of Raj, near Brzezany (today in Western Ukraine), and in those times part of Polish Eastern Galicia. At the Toronto Conference on Andrei Sheptytsky I was surrounded, for the first time in my life, by dozens of Ukrainian scholars and priests from all over the world. This was both exciting and strange for me. I was getting closer to a milieu that was both near and distant at the same time. I met there the late Kurt Lewin, a prominent survivor saved by Sheptytsky, who throughout his postwar life spoke and wrote about the Metropolitan. Kurt was always skeptical of the possibility of an open and honest approach toward the Sheptytsky issue within Yad Vashem.
For the next thirty years, I read and spoke about Sheptytsky. I attempted to be as objective as possible. I distanced myself from both the hagiographic tendencies among Ukrainians and the anti-Ukrainian attitudes among Jews. Shortly after my return to Israel, I published a lengthy article in the Jerusalem Post in which I asked a crucial question: was Ukrainian Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky a saint and savior or Nazi collaborator? I continued reading and probing into that controversial dilemma and reached the conclusion that the Metropolitan was a highly complex personality who lived under unprecedented circumstances of total war and the annihilation of the Jewish population. He faced the Soviet and Nazi regimes and their acts of terror, and hoped against hope that Ukrainian independence might be attainable. He was aware of the young Ukrainians' extremist national tendencies and of the fact that some Ukrainians denounced and murdered Jews. I believe that he was torn between his humanism and his nationalism. Although in the early days of the German occupation Sheptytsky, somewhat naively, believed that Hitler would support Samostiina Ukraina (Independent Ukraine), with time he grasped the enormity of the evil of Hitler and Nazi Germany. Time and again, he wrote about this to the Holy See in Rome. Sheptytsky was a humane Ukrainian spiritual leader, who not only saved individual Jews, but also spoke out publicly and privately against their murder.
Some fifteen years ago, I reached the conclusion that my research on and writings about Metropolitan Sheptytsky did not affect the decisions of Yad Vashem. I decided to join the few remaining Sheptytsky survivors in their persistent struggle to have him recognized as a Righteous Among the Nations. Together with the late Professor Israel Gutman, a leading Israeli historian of the Holocaust and a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and Ambassador Dr. Yosef Govrin, a Holocaust survivor from Romania, I initiated a number of appeals to Yad Vashem. I suggested that we invite several leading historians to evaluate Metropolitan Sheptytsky's attitudes and deeds during the war. Professor Gutman was ready and willing to meet with Judge Yaakov Turkel, Head of the Righteous Committee at Yad Vashem.
Yad Vashem didn't even respond to my suggestion and Judge Turkel refused the meeting.
I succeeded in getting several Israeli journalists to write about the Sheptytsky story for widely read Israeli newspapers and magazines such as Haaretz, Maariv and The Jerusalem Report. I also continued discussing the Sheptytsky issue at academic conferences in Israel and abroad. The first ever Conference on Sheptytsky in Lviv in 2005 was a milestone for me, both as scholar and as a child survivor saved by a Ukrainian family in nearby Berezhany. I convinced my close friend Mrs. Lily Pohlmann, who had been saved by Sheptytsky, to travel and participate in that Conference. I accompanied her to Metropolitan Sheptytsky's crypt at St. George's Cathedral. I have also been corresponding for years with another Sheptytsky survivor, former Polish Foreign Minister Adam Rotfeld, and we met for the first time in Kyiv last year.
While work was taking place on "Shimon's Returns", a documentary on my recurring visits to Ukraine and Poland several years ago, I insisted on including a visit to St. George's in Lviv. It was during that visit that I went again to pay tribute to the Metropolitan at his crypt and also spoke with Sister Chrysantia, the oldest surviving person who knew Sheptytsky personally when she was a young nun. She spoke about Sheptytsky with the greatest reverence and admiration.
The latest Sheptytsky-related event which I've attended was the 75th anniversary of the Babyn Yar massacre in Kyiv last September. The anti-Soviet dissident and literary critic Ivan Dziuba was awarded the Sheptytsky Medal. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko mentioned both Sheptytsky and Dziuba in his speech at the Babyn Yar memorial ceremony the next day. For years, I have considered both of them my Ukrainian cultural and humanist heroes. I was moved by the President's honest words as well as by the various ceremonies and cultural events organized to commemorate the victims of Babyn Yar.
Let's return now to the question of recognizing the Metropolitan as a Righteous Among the Nations. Over the years, attitudes toward Ukrainians within Jewish communities worldwide have mainly been negative. At times they flared up, as they did during the John Demjanjuk Trial in Jerusalem in the 1980's. Within the largest Jewish communities, Israel and the United States, Sheptytsky's name is quite unknown. The most famous Gentiles who saved Jews during the Holocaust are Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg. Both were recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Gentiles. The late Judge Moshe Beiski — head of the Righteous Committee at Yad Vashem for 20 years and himself a Schindler survivor who was instrumental in having Schindler recognized — had been a staunch opponent of Sheptytsky's case. A short time before his death, he admitted that he and the Committee might have been wrong. I passed on this information to Yad Vashem with no response. Sheptytsky's case is still pending, after decades of discussions by the Yad Vashem Committee for the Designation of the Righteous. The latest discussion of the Sheptytsky case was about two years ago. Like all previous meetings, it ended in a negative vote.
It seems that, during the last few years, activities on behalf of Sheptytsky have increased considerably. The Anti-Defamation League, a leading American-Jewish institution, recognized Sheptytsky's deeds and legacy. We may assume that the recognition of Sheptytsky's humanitarian legacy by the Canadian Parliament a few years ago also had some effect on the Jewish community. Pope Francis voiced good words about Sheptytsky last year. But still, the crux of the matter, in my opinion, is Yad Vashem. It is my assumption and belief that Sheptytsky's image as a moral leader and savior of Jews during the Holocaust will never be complete until he is recognized as a Righteous Gentile. Yad Vashem is the supreme Holocaust authority in Israel, as well as among Jews worldwide.
As with overall relations between Jews and Ukrainians — despite the emergence of a "new Ukraine" — serious complexities still exist in both groups' national collective memories. Ukraine is in urgent need of building up it's national heroes. Some of these historical heroes are negative figures in Jewish collective memory. I hope that, in the future, there will be more mutual understanding and appreciation among Ukrainians and Jews. It seems to me that only in such a context can the case of Sheptytsky be discussed in a more objective and detached manner.

Is The Digital Transformation Changing Industry's Approach to Quality?
An update to the Automation World survey on the use of automation for quality inspections detects some surprising changes in the era of digitalization. Quality may be becoming associated more with process feedback than classical inspection technologies.
James R. Koelsch
Most manufacturers work hard to produce quality products, but how much of their efforts are devoted to automating their inspection processes?
To find out, Automation World conducted a reader survey early this year. More than a third of respondents (37%) came from the process industries (e.g., food and beverage, chemical, petroleum, utilities); nearly half (46%) came from discrete manufacturing (e.g., automotive, aerospace, machinery and equipment); and the remaining 17% are associated with construction and mining, systems integration, consulting, and other businesses.
Their responses to the survey were, not surprisingly, mixed, with 52% of the respondents saying they inspect before production, and 67% saying they do so afterward. These numbers do not add up to 100%, as many respondents conduct quality checks at multiple points in the production process.
More surprising is how little of these inspections are automated in an age of increasing automation and digitization. Just under half of the respondents (45%) say that less than 10% of their inspections are automated. About a quarter (26%) report that 10-25% of inspections are automated, followed by 14% who report 25-50% automated inspections, and 15% who say 50-100% of inspections are automated. We were not expecting these results to so closely mirror those received the last time Automation World conducted this survey four years ago.
Automation vendors offer a number of reasons for this finding. One being that the survey was given to people in a broad range of industries—from process to discrete manufacturing.
"We see the adoption of automation growing in industries and applications where the term quality may not have been used to describe output standards," says Siva Kanesvaran, manager of application design engineering for industry business at Schneider Electric. "Consequently, the different segments [polled in the survey] may use different terminology for referring to what they consider to be quality," he says. "Not everyone may be looking at quality in the same way as it is understood on a manufacturing line."
"The good news is that quality still appears to be an important topic, because 80% of the respondents [report that they] are performing in-process quality checks," notes Alastair Orchard, vice president of digital enterprise for Siemens Digital Industries Software.

IIoT and analytics effects
The overall trend toward greater connectivity and the growing use of data analytics is another explanation for the lack of automation advancement in the area of quality. Not only are operations increasingly able to act upon a richer trove of feedback from sensors and devices like drives, but they can also track and use that granular data for quality control (QC). "They are still measuring quality," says Kanesvaran. "It's just that it's being spread out across the process."
Greater connectivity and resolution into processes often reduces the need for post-production checks. "This makes it possible to simplify final, end-product inspection," notes Kanesvaran. After all, if you don't need to check as many points after production, then the engineering and expense of a vision system, for example, is less likely to be warranted.
"Perhaps the question [of the method of inspection being used] has become less relevant as IIoT [Industrial Internet of Things] adoption increases," says Orchard at Siemens. "Instead of automating quality control in the PLC [programmable logic controller] and passing the data through industrial networks in dedicated QC servers, it's quite probable that IIoT devices are leapfrogging legacy infrastructures and publishing data directly into an IIoT platform for visualization and analysis."
These observations seem to jibe with some other curious findings in this year's survey. For example, a significant decline was found in the reported use of technologies typically associated with automated inspection. Respondents claiming to use vision systems, for example, fell to 35% this year, down by nine points from the previous survey. Similarly, those using automated measurement fell by 11 points, down to 4%. The use of QC software declined even more, by 12 points to 31%, as did network communications between QC software and the controller, which fell by 14 points to 18%. Yet the use of manufacturing execution systems (MESs) and track-and-trace software remained about the same as it was four years ago.
Kanesvaran points to another finding in the survey that suggests a growing reliance on sensors and process feedback. As noted above, about 80% of facilities are conducting quality inspections at some point during production, whereas 67% are doing so afterward. Not only does this data reflect a bias toward in-process inspection, but the movement since the last survey suggests that this bias may be intensifying. In the earlier survey, roughly the same percentage, 79%, reported inspecting during production, while 72% indicated they were inspecting afterward in this year's survey.

A journey toward maturity
Despite showing a relatively low use of automated inspection, the survey did show a positive trend, according to Louis Columbus, a principal at IQMS, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) and MES provider that recently became part of Dassault Systemes. He saw this trend emerge after mapping the number of automated inspections to a maturity model that divides users into four categories: reacting, anticipating, collaborating, and orchestrating.
Columbus put those automating less than 10% of inspection into the reacting category, which comprises those "reacting" to customer demands, often relying on expeditors to compensate for a lack of automation. Into the next category, "anticipating," Columbus put those automating 10-25% of inspection. "Anticipators" have used automation to put enough order into their production to need expeditors only for exceptions. The third category, "collaborating," contains manufacturers who have integrated all departments on a common ERP system so that each can contribute to fulfilling orders. Columbus associated this category with those automating 25-50% of inspection. The fourth and final category, "orchestrating," contains those automating 50-100%. "Here, a truly integrated system has reached a critical mass of adoption and manufacturers begin to see its benefits in efficiency," he says.
Based on this model, more than a quarter (29%) have reached the mature levels of collaborating and orchestrating. In this light, more than half (55%) of the respondents have either embarked upon the journey to maturity or reached it.
For this reason, Columbus interprets the results as a consequence of maturation. "Instead of thinking that they have to automate the collection of data, these respondents are recognizing that it's really the up-feed and interpretation of data that is important," he offers. "They are moving up the chain to analytic tools and fine-tuning production scheduling."
Taking a slightly different perspective, Orchard at Siemens suspects that most in the 50-100% bracket are either high-volume manufacturers like automakers, bulk chemical producers (who require little to no flexibility), or part manufacturers that have been using CAD/CAM for decades. "The other respondents are probably on a digital transformation journey that must be completed before quality inspections can be automated," he says.
He further suspects that most of those on this journey are either producing several types of products or personalizing their products for customers. Because these kinds of production lines require a flexibility that has not been available from conventional automation technologies used in facilities devoted to one product, the lines have had to rely heavily on manual interventions, including manual inspection. Respondents dealing with these kinds of operations may be having difficulty bringing them into the digital enterprise.

Why experience is a must
For those manufacturers looking to automate quality control, Orchard recommends doing so at the same rate as in production. "An imbalance in either direction will lead to lower overall KPIs [key performance indicators]," he says.
In fact, he believes that an imbalance could be a reason for a particularly puzzling finding that came from comparing this year's survey to the one conducted four years ago. The percentage of respondents who reported benefits from automating inspection—better quality, less waste and rework, lower expenses, greater regulatory compliance, faster throughput, fewer recalls—fell by roughly 10 points each.
Doubting that the objective benefits have actually worsened, Orchard thinks it more likely that digitalization in quality has not moved as fast as it has in production. "It could be that improvements seen through automation four years ago have not led to continuous improvement at the same rate," he says.
In many cases where users fail to get the desired benefits from automation, the culprit is a "point solution" that solved a specific problem but did not contribute to the overall process. An example might be a torque-controlling tool. "You get the right torque for screws you are installing," explains Mick Mancuso, director of Connected Enterprise Operations at Rockwell Automation. "However, that system does not tie into a work instruction system and does not give feedback to the manufacturing process."
Other reasons Mancuso gives for the slow progress in automating quality inspections and not getting the desired results lie in the lack of definition of the right return on investment and not orchestrating collaboration among engineering, operations, and information technology. "If it's a project that can be justified, then the chances that it will get funding go up," says Mancuso. "Then, if focus goes up, so does the success rate." To get results, he advises seeking the right partners who can help you consider the entire end-to-end process and to use platforms like MES.
This advice to seek help could be of particular benefit in light of the change in response we saw to the number of respondents indicating that automation has played a key role in quality inspections for less than a year. In 2016, 5% indicated this to be the case. This year, that number jumped to 33%.
"Although some of this change could be due to new subscribers, the jump is so significant that it's got to be companies who have just automated," says Columbus at IQMS.
Those companies might not have the necessary experts yet, notes Mancuso at Rockwell Automation. Then, add to that the generational shift in the workforce. "As more experienced employees retire, they are being replaced by a new batch of employees who might just be starting their careers," he says.
Not only does this generation lack the experience of their mentors, but they are also more apt to deviate from traditional PLC architectures and move down the path toward the digitalization. "Clarity around quality may be suffering because, under digital transformations, there is certainly a blending of these domains under combined digital threads," observes Orchard at Siemens. "Perhaps quality is being recategorized as an attribute of production and logistics."

These 15 States Have the Worst Drug Problems in America
Lauren Weiler
It's no secret that many Americans have a substance abuse problem. Live Science reports it was estimated in 2015 that nearly 21 million U.S. citizens who were 12 years old or older had an issue with substances. And while many used alcohol as their vice, drug problems weren't far off, either.
Wondering how your state stacks up? Here's a ranking of the 15 states that have the worst drug problems in the country, according to 2018 data from WalletHub.
15. Oregon

Total score: 48.42
WalletHub looked at all 50 states and the District of Columbia and compared them across 20 different metrics. Everything from overdose rates to opioid prescriptions to drug-related arrests was factored in to determine the 15 worst U.S. states for drugs. And Oregon came in 15th place, with a total score of 48.42. Compare this score to the best state, Minnesota, which clocked in at 27.03.
It seems Oregon's biggest issue is its opioid usage, KATU reports. Though it may be getting better, as WalletHub's 2017 report ranked it sixth-worst overall.
Next: This Southern state has more drug issues than you think.

Not far behind Oregon comes Tennessee. WalletHub's data found Tennessee is the 14th worst overall state for addiction when all metrics are factored in, but it's actually the 13th worst when it comes to just drug usage and addiction.
Opioid abuse is primarily plaguing this state, Brentwood Home Page reports. When it came to opioid prescriptions per capita, Tennessee ranked as the No. 3 state just behind Alabama and Arkansas.
Next: This mountain state may be the least populated state in the U.S., but it still has its issues.
13. Wyoming

Oddly enough, Wyoming didn't rank as one of the worst states when it came to drug use and addiction. But it did rank as the No. 1 worst state when it came to the law enforcement ranking, which put this state at 13th overall.
The Treatment Center notes because Wyoming's population is so widespread, it's tough to get drug users readily available treatment in their area. And we're guessing that's the same issue with law enforcement stopping any drug-related activity.
Next: It's known for its scenic views — and, sadly, its drug issues.
12. Colorado

This state has gorgeous mountains — but according to WalletHub's data, it also has a serious drug issue. When it came to rankings in drug use and addiction, law enforcement, and drug health issues and rehab, it fell near the middle of the pack on each. But AspenRidge North notes meth, cocaine, and heroin are being distributed at an alarming pace.
What's worse is that Colorado ranked as the No.1 state for deaths from an overdose — and it seems to be on the rise. Prescription painkillers are a huge cause here.
Next: This New England state may surprise you.
11. Massachusetts

You may be surprised to see that Massachusetts ranks No. 11 overall when it comes to states with drug issues. Additionally, it ranks as the 11th worst state for drug use and addiction, WalletHub found.
The Treatment Center reports that the huge drug issues present in Massachusetts stem from fentanyl. This narcotic is produced in mass quantity in this state and pushed by drug traffickers on the streets. And nearly 75% of those who died from an opioid-related overdose had fentanyl in their system.
Next: It's not just Philly cheesesteaks that this state is known for.
10. Pennsylvania

This cheesesteak-loving state probably didn't strike you as having a huge drug crisis, but it is. In fact, early in 2018, Reading Eagle reports federal data found Pennsylvania was outpacing all other states when it came to deaths associated with drug usage.
In a 12-month period ending in July 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Pennsylvania had 5,443 deaths from drug overdose. This was more than a 43% increase compared to the previous 12 months. And it appears that fentanyl is the leading drug causing the issue.
Next: This Southern state is high up on the list.
9. Kentucky

It's not far above Pennsylvania as far as the total score is concerned, but Kentucky did manage to make it on the list as the ninth worst for drug issues. And it seems the biggest issue in this state is meth and opioids.
Just Believe Recovery Center explains part of the issue is that almost 40% of Kentucky's counties are "dry," meaning the sale of alcohol is forbidden. And these dry counties are seeing a rise in methamphetamine usage as a result. There were also more meth lab busts and crimes related to the drug in these counties, too.
Next: It's a small state, but it ranks high.
Harbor View of Providence, Rhode Island | Sean Pavone/iStock/Getty Images
This state may fly under your radar because of its size, but make no mistake — Rhode Island has serious drug issues. And WalletHub ranks it as the second worst state in America for drug use and addiction. It seems the end is nowhere in sight, too.
The Sun Chronicle reports police raided numerous addresses in May 2018 and arrested 49 people for holding illegal weapons and drugs in the state. It seems rivaling motorcycle gangs were distributing their goods throughout Rhode Island for some time, causing a surge in drug-related issues.
Next: This state really failed in terms of law enforcement.
7. Indiana

As far as drug use and addiction are concerned, Indiana didn't do too badly, as it landed as No. 18 in the ranking. But overall, it's the seventh worst state for drug-related issues — and that's largely due to problems with law enforcement, where it ranked the fifth worst.
The Indianapolis Star reports the Indiana police are overwhelmed with drug cases, which may be why their ranking is so poor. And with new drugs emerging all the time, they certainly have their work cut out for them.
Next: This state has a serious problem with the number of teens using substances.
6. New Mexico

Coming in at No. 6 on WalletHub's list is New Mexico. And it seems both this state's law enforcement and drug use and addiction is a huge issue. Not only that, but New Mexico has a particularly big issue with teen drug use, too.
According to the Albuquerque Journal, adolescents in this state have some of the highest rates of drug use. As far as what they're using, it seems cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and heroin are high on the list.
Next: In 2016, this state had the highest drug overdose death rate.
Beckley, West Virginia | Tim Kiser/Wikimedia Commons
As for the top five worst states for drug issues, West Virginia starts off the ranking. WalletHub also puts this state as the sixth worst state for drug use and addiction and the third worst for law enforcement. Sounds pretty serious to us.
We also know 2016 was an extremely serious year for West Virginia, as it was the state with the highest number of drug overdose deaths, Vox reports. Per 100,000 people, an average of 48.3 died that year, says data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is astronomically more than both their homicide and car crash rate.
Next: This state shouldn't come as too much of a surprise due to one city.
4. Michigan
Detroit, Michigan | Steven_Kriemadis/iStock/Getty Images
There's a pretty significant jump between West Virginia's total score and Michigan's. WalletHub found this state ranked fourth worst overall, and ClickOnDetroit reports the state's opioid crisis has a lot to do with it.
In 2015 alone, there were 30% more drug-related overdoses than in 2013. And it could be getting even worse. Detroit is known for being one of the hardest hit when it comes to drugs, but the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Director Shelly Edgerton called the opioid epidemic "a public health crisis that has affected every community in Michigan."
Next: It's a small New England state with a huge problem.
3. New Hampshire

Here's another small state that ranks high on the list. WalletHub reports New Hampshire ranks as the eighth worst state for drug use and addiction and third worst overall. U.S. News & World Report explains the biggest battle in this state is opioid and fentanyl abuse.
In 2015, fentanyl was involved in two-thirds of all drug-related deaths in New Hampshire — and it's only picking up steam. There's also a stronger and deadlier opioid known as Carfentanil which has also hit the state hard. Carfentanil is roughly 100 times stronger than fentanyl.
Next: This rural state has seen a steady increase in meth usage.
2. Missouri

As for the second worst state on the list, Missouri takes the spot. And News-PressNow.com says there's one drug in particular that plagues the state more than the rest: methamphetamine.
There's another huge issue for Missouri, and that's their lack of law enforcement. There are reportedly just six members on the Drug Strike Force team, so keeping up with drugs on the street is proving to be a monumental task. And local officials say meth is extremely popular with the rural drug users, as it can be cooked undetected.
Next: You may be surprised by which U.S. territory makes No. 1.
1. District of Columbia
The White House | jtomason/iStock/Getty Images
With a score leaps and bounds over Missouri, you may be surprised to see Washington, D.C., as No. 1. WalletHub also put D.C. as the worst state for drug use and addiction overall, as well as the worst for drug issues and rehab.
It's clear opioids have hit D.C. hard — but that's not the only drug problem the capital's dealing with. Rehabs.com reports the city saw a huge resurgence of the hallucinogenic drug PCP starting in 2014. And usage is higher in the nation's capital than any other state in the U.S.

Recipients of scholarship honored
By Lamar Ledger |
On Tuesday morning, June 28, the recipients of the Ray Charitable Trust Scholarship met with the Trustee of the Trust, Wendy S. Shinn at her law office in Lamar.
The Ray Scholars, Eduardo Antonio Vidal Chaparro of Holly High School, Sabrina Camacho of Granada High School, Remington Stocking of Lamar High School and Codey Smith of Wiley High School were presented with a clock, obtained from Bettiann`s of Lamar, engraved with his or her name, as a memento of their achievement.
This year marks the 17th consecutive year in which the scholarships were awarded, for a total of $170,000.
The college chosen by each scholar will receive the sum of $2,500 to be applied toward college expenses such as tuition, room and board and books.
Frank A. Ray and his wife Elsie L. Ray were pioneer longtime residents of the Wiley and Lamar areas. He was an auctioneer and a real estate broker.
They had no children of their own, but made sizeable contributions to the welfare of other members of their families, including them among the legatees of their estates. The bulk of Mr. Ray`s estate went to the Children`s Hospital in Denver, Cal Farley`s Boys Ranch in Amarillo, Colorado Boys Ranch in La Junta and Prowers Medical Center in Lamar.
Mrs. Ray, who died in 1987, established the Ray Charitable Trust in her Last Will and Testament and provided that the general scope of the objects and purposes of the trust shall be:
"To aid and assist in charitable and education activities for the moral, mental, intellectual and physical development in young men and women of Prowers County. To found or to provide scholarships for deserving young men and women of this county and to assist them in attending any educational institution in the country or abroad."
The scholarships were awarded to the recipients in a small ceremony at the law offices of Shinn, Steerman and Shinn.
Eduardo, the son of Candelario and Teresa Chaparro of Holly, plans on attending Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in Tulsa, Okla.
Sabrina , the daughter of Noe and Maria Camacho of Bristol, plans on attending Lamar Community College to receive an RN degree, then move to Colorado Springs.
Codey, the son of Scott and Staci Smith of Wiley, plans on attending Colorado State University – Fort Collins to study environmental engineering and renewable energy.
Remington, the son of Herb and Charity Stocking of Lamar, will attend Otero Junior College, then plans to transfer to a college in Wyoming to study to be an agronomist.

Barclay's Premier League	 April 18, 2013 June 5, 2013
The Best English Import Since the Beatles and Dr.Who
(This Picture isn't entirely relevant but God is she gorgeous)
I can still remember those dark days of my early years. Till this day they haunt my dreams like the monster under my bed who escaped discovery every time my parents went to check. During those medieval times I would risk the life of my laptop in the foolish hope of watching soccer. Down I would go into the dark netherworld of the internet in the search for a quality stream of an English Premier League game, eschewing caution while I navigated through questionable pop-up ads just to watch the game I loved. My desperation was so palpable that I would sometimes watch a VHS of the English Premier League's greatest goals just to get a taste of the quality of soccer played across the pond.
Before the wide availability of English soccer on TV, Steven Gerrard's name was just an idea. I would hear stories of his soccer prowess but to me they seemed almost like tall tales, legends that had grown larger as they made their way from Liverpool, England to Oceanport, New Jersey. I can still remember my feelings of constant anger. Anger that us soccer fans were dismissed by major sports networks and anger that MLS could not provide the same level of excitement as the English Premier League. Why did I have to sit there and watch Clint Mathis wander around the Meadowlands like an apathetic cat while people in England got to watch Gerrard gallivant around Anfield like knights of yore? It was not fair.
Thankfully, as soccer grew in this country, so did the soccer coverage. By high school I could watch a good percentage of English Premier League games on my TV and even get Champions League coverage; if my parents were nice enough to buy the sports tier with Fox Soccer Channel on it. However, my insatiable thirst for top-level soccer was still unquenched The increasing number of games only served to highlight how many games were not on TV. There were weekends where I would miss big English Premier League games that were inexplicably not on television. Hope was the only thing driving me those days, and I was beginning to run on fumes.
When NBC acquired the rights to the English Premier League I was wary. For so long all I had known was the Fox Soccer Channel. They were by no means perfect but I knew what they were capable of. NBC Sports was an enigma, what if they provided even less coverage of the English Premier League? The dread of an unknown evil clouded my judgement. It began to make me question whether we were doomed to having to watch more choppy streams from some server in an island in the middle of the Baltic Sea. The subsequent rumors of the collapse of the Fox Soccer Channel brought upon more terror. What would soccer become in this country with the last bastion of American televised soccer being dismantled like a young child cleaning up his Legos. I feared the worst.
But alas NBC has quelled my fears. Fast on the heels of its fantastic MLS coverage, NBC has shown with its proposed EPL coverage that it will cater to the soccer fans of this country. Every game will be available on some medium along with various soccer shows to support its live game coverage. The English Premier League will no longer be a niche sport shown during off-hours on ESPN or the hard to find FSC. NBC is bringing the EPL to the forefront of its network and the brilliance of that move will not go unrewarded. The only caveat is that some will suspect it will decrease interest in MLS. However, have no fear my friends, for more soccer in this country will only help the growth of the sport and MLS in America.
So rejoice my fellow soccer fans! Crawl out from under the crushing weight of American soccer obscurity and breathe in the fresh air of acceptance. Our prayers have been answered, people want to sell to our soccer-obsessed demographic.

Gov's signing of Enviro, Game and Fish bills disappointing
Posted May 3rd, 2012 by Minnesota Environmental Partnership.
Statement by Steve Morse, executive director of the Minnesota Environmental Partnership
Omnibus Environment and Game and Fish Bills' passage further chips away at Minnesota's environmental foundation
Legislative Approval of Rules Bill (HF 203)
Governor Dayton's veto of this bill is good news for Minnesotans. With the Governor's veto, a very real restriction and defacto moratorium on the executive branch's authority on some measures to protect our air, water and health, was avoided. We are pleased the Governor vetoed a bill that would have removed the authority of state agencies like the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to protect our environment and the health of Minnesota citizens.
Omnibus Environmental Policy Bill (HF 2164)
We are disappointed that some key parts of this legislation have become law. This bill does more harm than good for Minnesota's environment. As a statewide coalition of nonprofits advocating for environmental protections and conservation, we are concerned about the long-term impacts of this bill, particularly the damage to Minnesota's long-standing goal of no net loss of our state's wetlands. With the signing of this bill, the Land of 10,000 Lakes also abandons its policy against export of our increasingly valuable water to other regions and countries. We are disturbed by the bad legislative processes that created this bill: Legislators added new language to this bill at the 11th hour in conference committee with no public testimony.
Our coalition is disappointed that good policies to enhance management of Aquatic Invasive Species and to maintain the ban on open-air manure lagoons were shoehorned into this omnibus bill with other unneeded provisions. If legislators were serious about protecting our waters from Aquatic Invasive Species, they could have easily passed a separate bill instead of including AIS enforcement in a controversial bill like this.
Game and Fish Bill (HF 2171)
We are pleased that with Governor Dayton's signature, the long-overdue increases on license fees are instated, ensuring the Department of Natural Resources' important work will continue. However, we are deeply concerned about the section that orders the DNR to manage the wolf population in a way that does not reflect the best, original judgment of professional game managers at the department.
In both the Omnibus Environment bill and the Game and Fish bill, politicians crammed good provisions into controversial legislation. Logrolling is one of the oldest political maneuvers, but that doesn't mean Minnesotans want our elected officials to use it.
These compromises continue to chip away at Minnesota's core environmental policies and are not in line with Minnesotans' expectations that elected officials do what's right for our state's future by protecting our Great Outdoors.
