Cricket General Discussion
Discussions with The Don
"So, David," said Don Bradman, leaning menacingly across the lunch table, "you think you know better than me and Dennis Lillee and Richie Benaud and the Chappell brothers?" Yet again we were debating the front-foot no-ball law, which Don hated. I believed - and still do - that a reversion to the old back-foot law would be retrograde. Bradman was exasperated. His face had reddened. I suppose mine had too. Then his delightful wife Jessie, for surely the umpteenth time in their lives, eased an awkward situation. "David," she said sweetly, "have you written Don's obituary yet?" No, I hadn't. I wasn't that well organised. And anyway, he was going to live to 100, wasn't he? We all laughed.
The lively disagreements we sometimes had through 30 years' friendship were probably a source of sustenance for Don who, in his own estimation, was never wrong. And, like most great men, he found himself spending much time with fawning yes-men. Yet he was forever essentially a boy from the bush, gifted with an extraordinary mind and reflexes, fired by ambition and fierce determination, the key to his insistence on always being right. The keen-eyed young man with kookaburra features was still discernible in that ageing face.
He once took me to task for writing that he bowled Wally Hammond out with a full-toss at Adelaide in 1933. "It was not a full-toss!" But five or six participants in that Test match, including Hammond himself, had declared it a full-toss. And I discovered - too late - that Don himself had spoken of it as such in his radio summary very soon after the incident.
Amazingly, all these years later, he seemed to regard the bowling of a full-toss as a symptom of defective character. I loved him for it. Somewhere in the 100-plus letters I received from him is his reaction to my costly acquisition at auction of Victor Trumper's fob-watch. He kidded that he was now going to hunt through his cupboards: "I reckon I could dig up a couple of wrist-watches."
He was very generous, contributing forewords to two of my books, with scant concern for remuneration, and giving me all kinds of things he no longer needed, such as early New South Wales yearbooks with his personal rubber-stamp on them. Maybe the one thing we truly shared, the red-and-white cap of the St George club, counted for something. Bradman, who revered cricket's traditions, was a man of adamant opinions. He was laughingly dismissive of a purported history on video, declaring that compiler Ian Chappell's knowledge of history "would fit on a postage stamp". He was content only when he had had the last word in a debate. I suppose it was some sort of substitute for 20 competitive years of habitually carving up bowlers of all descriptions.
Tireless correspondent though he was, he became impatient with birthday cards. "I know I'm 84," he wrote in August 1992. "I don't need reminding. It means I'm one step nearer to the grave." Speaking of which, after one long session at his Adelaide home, he kindly offered to drive me back to the hotel. Just after midnight, as he was steering the car out of Holden Street, a vehicle came speeding towards us from the right. Don Bradman seemed not to have noticed it. Whiteknuckled, I cried out. He rammed his foot on the brake pedal and we were saved. Calm as ever (apparently), he continued driving, saying not a word about our lucky survival.
I once tried to entertain friends with an imagined newspaper headline had the worst happened: 'Cricket writer killed in car crash.' And in smaller letters beneath: 'Driver (old cricketer) dies too.' Just imagine.
"I know im 84 i don't need reminding", lol that made me laugh. He was an exceptional cricket player and is still missed with in the cricket community the Australian batsmen has big swhoes to fill.


Faculty, staff and students today celebrated the groundbreaking of Northwest Vista College's new Welcome Center and parking garage. This milestone event marks the first time in 10 years that NVC has added any new structures to its campus, despite the fact that population growth on the far Northwest Side leads any other area in the city.
In 2017, Bexar County voters approved a $450-million bond for all five colleges within the Alamo Colleges District, which allows NVC to construct a new Welcome Center and Parking Garage.
NVC opened its doors in 1995 with 2 students and reached a record 16,793 students in the fall of 2016, making it the third largest college campus in the city. Since that time, Northside School District has seen 87 percent growth, from 56,385 students to 105,856 for the 2018-19 school year.


Wetland in a low-density development.
Water sensitive design refers to the treatment measures landowners can adopt to reduce the volume and contamination of stormwater when planning and building new developments on your property.
reducing run-off and peak flows from your property by using detention basins and retention areas (such as rainwater tanks), and minimising impervious surfaces (such as bitumen or concrete).
protecting water quality by ensuring the stormwater flowing into waterways from your land has a neutral or beneficial effect on water quality.
Rainwater tank conceptual diagrams: a standard tank and a tank including mains top-up.
Many water sensitive design measures use biological activity by plants and trees to filter and treat stormwater. One example is raingardens, which have rainwater directed to them from a downpipe or paved area. Beneath the raingarden are layers of filter media consisting of sandy soil which helps to filter and treat the stormwater before it discharges offsite and enters creeks and rivers. Along with the vegetation growing in the raingarden, these layers help remove pollutants, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, fertilisers, dust, leaves and animal droppings, which are washed off hard surfaces.

Eight months ago, the JPMorgan boss said that the likelihood of the 10-year US Treasury yield reaching 5 per cent was "a higher probability than most people think".
All of the world's largest economies now face problems with slower growth. The lesson of post-crisis economic management is that only large-scale fiscal stimulus will provide an effective remedy.
US bond markets have hit extremes in the past few weeks in response to deeply conflicting signals on the economy.

Man Writes Heartfelt Apology To Classmate He Tormented 20 Years Ago
By Jean Trinh
Chad Michael Morrisette (Photo via Facebook, Yahoo Parenting)
A West Hollywood visual designer recently received a surprise on Facebook: one of his classmates who tormented and bullied him in junior high nearly 20 years ago sent him a heartfelt apology.ChadMichael Morrisette, 34, told Yahoo Parenting that when he used to live in Alaska as a kid, the school's "entire football team bullied me." He wrote in a post on Facebook: "During junior high and high school I was bullied for being who I am. I was bullied for being gay. I was bullied for being little. I was bullied for every reason someone is bullied. It was awful. I couldn't even walk to classes without an adult escort or friends with me."
Things fortunately changed for Morrisette when he moved from Alaska to San Diego with his siblings when he was just 15, according to RackedLA. He graduated high school and headed to Los Angeles to start his career as a visual designer, dressing windows at high-end boutique clothing stores. He's also a brand consultant in West Hollywood now.
Morrisette had moved on from those painful days of getting bullied, but one of his former bullies, Louie Amundson, remembered. He sent Morrisette a Facebook message on May 5. It read:
Hey Chad, I was recently talking with my 10 year old daughter about bullies. She asked me if I ever bullied anyone and sadly I had to say "yes." What came to mind is how shitty and mean I was to you when we were in Jr. High. I want to apologize. If we lived in the same state I would apologize to your face. I don't even know if you remember, but I do and I am sorry.
It took Morrisette a few days to process everything. He cried over Amundson's touching words and wrote back:
Louie, I'm quite moved by this. Thank you and accept your apology. In 20 years you are the only person to apologize for being a bully to me when we were younger. I hope you can proudly tell your daughter that you have also apologized for it, and that we are good. It's amazing what 20 years and children can do to us, no? Thank you again, and I hope you stand up to bullying anytime you see it. Have a great day!
ChadMichael
Admundson told Yahoo Parenting: "You can't change your past, but you do still own it. I can't take back the names I called him, and the threats I made toward him, but I can apologize. It doesn't excuse my behavior as a child in any way, but as an adult it's the best I can do to try to make it up to him."
Morrisette told Mashable that he didn't know just how much the bullying had hurt him until he read Admunson's message, which touched him and helped him deal with the pain he had buried deep inside. He hopes telling people about this will help kids who are getting bullied know that things will get better.
"Being bullied as a kid instilled a strength in me that I carry with me (as) an adult," Morrisette told Mashable. "I can view it as me being a victim, or turn that around into ... experiences (which) made my self worth stronger. I learned how to push through experiences that, at the time, may have seemed unbearable or unsurmountable. [sic]"

Credit scores are becoming more important in all kinds of transactions. They are no longer used just for issuing credit. Landlords use them to decide if they should rent to you, and employers use them to help them decide on whether or not they should offer you a job. So it is important to pay attention to your credit score, but that is getting to be more difficult.
1. There are multiple credit scores. While the FICO score is the most used, there are multiple companies issuing scores, and even the FICO people have multiple scores, such as one for auto sales and another used by banks for mortgages. These may have different scores than the public one.
2. Large companies often use multiple scores and then add their own factors to create their own custom score or equivalent.
3. Changing a score is tough and many of the "credit repair" firms are not much help and they can charge a lot of money. There are simulators that will help see what effect different actions might have on your score.
Quizzle, in particular, offers several free tools, like budgeting tools and credit repair tools, that you might find useful. We did not try them since you have to register.
Another site, Credit.com, won't give you anything free as far as I can tell unless you subscribe to one of several different credit checking services they offer. The cheapest one will cost you almost $120 a year.
A new site, CreditXpert.com , is often available from real estate brokers and others who are trying to sell things that need credit.


List Rules Vote up your favorite disco films that were released in the 1970s.
Disco was everywhere in the 1970s. Pulsating out of speakers in clubs across the United States, disco music represented a backlash against rock n' roll, and the hippie counterculture of the 1960s. On this list of the greatest '70s disco movies, you will find plenty of great films, with soundtracks you won't be able to get out of your head.
One of the most well-known films of the era and one of the best '70s disco movies is Saturday Night Fever. In a career-defining role, John Travolta sweats it out as a Brooklyn boy overcoming his dreary life by giving his all on the dance floor. The movie's soundtrack is one of the best-selling soundtracks ever, featuring songs by the Bee Gees. Abba, another disco era supergroup, made headlines with Abba: The Movie - a film about the group's legendary 1970s Australian tour.
On this 1970s disco film list, you'll even find basketball legends Julius Erving and Kareem Abdul-Jabar, who had pivotal roles in the disco farce The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh. Other top '70s disco movies include the disco sexploitation film, The Stud, and the side-splitting, toe-tapping comedy, The Car Wash, which featured cameos by George Carlin and Richard Pryor. Vote up the best '70s disco films, and let us know what you think in the comment section.
Disco Fever, also known as Jukebox, is a 1978 American film about a nightclub owner who plans the comeback of an ex-teen idol.
The Stud is a 1978 film starring Joan Collins and Oliver Tobias. It is based on the 1969 novel of the same name by Jackie Collins.

Q: Sending buffer length and buffer over socket in c I'm trying to send a string to a server application using C, but I've hit a snag. I'm fairly new to network programming, and I think my code is barking up the wrong tree.
The message is supposed to be message length + message and is unpacked on the other side by a python server as such (buf being the raw incoming data):
msg_len_bytes = buf[0:4]
msg_len = struct.unpack("!L", msg_len_bytes)[0]

! means network byte order and L means unsigned long.
It is fairly simple to send a regular string.
send(sock, message, strlen(message), 0);
But adding the message length I can't quite get a handle on. Here is the code for my client thus far:
struct msgstruct {
        uint32_t length;
        char send_data[4096];
};

int main()

{
    int sock;
    struct msgstruct message;
    char data[4096] = "<MOP><test/></MOP>";

    for ( int i = 0; i < strlen(data); i++ ) {
      message.send_data[i] = data[1];
    }

    struct hostent *host;
    struct sockaddr_in server_addr;

    unsigned long buflen = sizeof(message.send_data);
    uint32_t bufsend = htonl(buflen);

    message.length = bufsend;

    host = gethostbyname("127.0.0.1");

    if ((sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1) {
        perror("Socket");
        exit(1);
    }

    server_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    server_addr.sin_port = htons(12998);
    server_addr.sin_addr = *((struct in_addr *)host->h_addr);
    bzero(&(server_addr.sin_zero),8);

    if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&server_addr,
                sizeof(struct sockaddr)) == -1) {
        perror("Connect");
        exit(1);
    }

    if(send(sock, message.length + message.send_data, sizeof(message), 0) == -1){
        printf("\nSocket error.");
        exit(1);
    }
    return 0;
}

I've tried a few variations, but I always end up with a socket error. Is it because I'm mixing types in the second arguement for send? I get compilation errors if I try to send the struct.

A: The error is in this code:
send(sock, message.length + message.send_data, sizeof(message), 0)

The Prototype for send is:
ssize_t send(int s, const void *buf, size_t len, int flags);

Note that parameter 2 is a pointer.
In your code, you've given it as a length (Type uint32_t) added to a buffer (Type char*).
This addition will result in a char*, (pointer-to-char) but a pointer to an unpredictable and meaningless area of memory.
To get a pointer to the buffer, you want:
send(sock, &message, sizeof(message), 0)

Note that taking the address of a struct isn't portable or always advisable, due to padding issues.   But on a typical 32-bit architecture, this should be fine.
This will send data starting at the message struct, but sending 4100 (4096+4) bytes!.
I don't think you intend to send that much.   The 3rd parameter says how many bytes to send, and should be set to:
sizeof(uint32_t) + strlen(data);  // 4-byte Integer + Length of the data "<MOP><test/></MOP>"

Note that this does not include a Null-Terminator for the data, but that your initial for-loop didn't copy a Null-Terminator either
(If you want the null-terminator, make your initial for-loop go to strlen(data)+1, and use strlen(data)+1 in other places as well).
Ideally, you should cache strlen(data) to a local variable, and not call it so much. (you also repeatedly call strlen in the inital for-loop).
Your final statement will look like:
if(send(sock, &message, sizeof(uint32_t)+strlen(data), 0) == -1){
    printf("\nSocket error.");
    exit(1);
}

Try that, and let me know how it goes.

A: You can use 2 subsequent sends:
send(sock, &message.length, sizeof(message.length), 0);
send(sock, message.send_data, message.length*sizeof(char), 0);

Or better prepare buffer with first 4 bytes as message length:
char buff[MAX_BUFF] = "";
int  len_disp = sizeof(message.length);
memcpy(buff, &message.length, len_disp);
memcpy(&buff[len_disp], &message.length, message.length*sizeof(char));
send(sock, buff, message.length*sizeof(char) + len_disp, 0);

EDIT:
    For small messages comment -- disabling Nagle's algorithm.
BOOL bNagleEnabled = FALSE;
if(setsockopt(sAccept, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&bNagleEnabled, sizeof(BOOL)))
{
  ReportError("Setting TCP_NODELAY socket option failed");
  return -2;
}

A: The loop that copies data into the message instance is broken, it has a 1 where it should have an i.
The second argument to send() should be a pointer to the first byte to send. You are instead giving it the sum of a big-endian number (which, if your platform is not big-endian, will be very wrong) and a random array base address. This is wrong.
You need:
if(send(sock, &message, sizeof message.length + strlen(data), 0) == -1) {

There is also some other confusion, you seem to "want" to always send the full 4K, rather than just the amount necessary.

A: Basically everything should turn buffer and send/receive by socket.
So usually what I do :
 //Send
 memcpy(buffer, &structure_u_defined, sizeof(structure_u_defined));
 send(&sock, buffer,...);// lol I am using a public pc

 //receive
 recv(&sock, buffer,...);
 memcpy(&structure_u_defined_for_receive, buffer, sizeof(buffer));

Nikolas Cruz Booked On 17 Counts Of Premeditated Murder In Fla. Shooting
Published February 15, 2018 at 9:26 AM PST
The suspect in yesterday's school shooting in Florida is named Nikolas Cruz. He's 19, a former student. And this recording of a police scanner captured the sound as he moved through the school.
UNIDENTIFIED POLICE OFFICER: He went from the third floor to the second floor - third to the second floor. He may have a gas mask on now.
INSKEEP: And as he moved around, people ducked for cover. President Trump commented on the shooting on Twitter this morning, quote, "so many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed."
We're going now to South Florida. WLRN reporter Tim Padgett has been covering this story. Mr. Padgett, good morning.
TIM PADGETT, BYLINE: Good morning.
INSKEEP: What was Nikolas Cruz's connection to this school?
PADGETT: Well, he had been a student there until last year, when he was expelled for what the Broward County sheriff told us yesterday were disciplinary reasons. Some of the students have told reporters that one of the big reasons was that he had a penchant for bringing knives - big knives to school. And that jives with what we've seen on his social media footprint. He was obsessed with guns and knives and posted quite a few very scary pictures of himself with them.
INSKEEP: What do you mean by scary pictures?
PADGETT: He would post pictures of himself with military caps and bandanas covering his face. And he would put a lot of sort of bravado language about wanting to use these weapons. And it was - as the Broward County sheriff said yesterday, this was very disturbing stuff.
INSKEEP: How specific did he get in talking about how he wanted to use the weapons?
PADGETT: Well, apparently back in September on a YouTube chat being conducted by a gentleman in Mississippi, Nikolas Cruz posted on that YouTube chat the comment, quote, "I'm going to be a professional school shooter." Now that, of course, set off alarm bells there in Mississippi. And according to this gentleman, he contacted the FBI who he claims then visited him and took the information from the screenshot that this gentleman took of that YouTube chat comment. The FBI is not commenting on this, but there are signs out there that officials may have been aware that he was a very emotionally disturbed and dangerous person.
INSKEEP: I suppose that's going to raise the question of whether he should have been stopped in advance and also questions of whether someone can be stopped in advance in a free society.
PADGETT: Well, this was no surprise to people - parents and students and teachers at the school. As we said, he had been expelled for disciplinary reasons last year. But he was also known as a very emotional disturbed person with a lot of behavioral problems. His adoptive parents had both passed away. His father passed away a few years ago. His adoptive mother just passed away late last year. He was living with some friends of the family. But he was known throughout his neighborhood, throughout the community there as a very emotionally disturbed young man.
INSKEEP: And in just a few seconds, what was he like as he was captured?
PADGETT: He was apparently rather relatively calm considering, you know, the awful atrocity he had just committed. And what we have heard is that he did show a little bit of, you know, deranged behavior, sort of talking to himself, et cetera.
INSKEEP: OK. Mr. Padgett, thanks very much.
PADGETT: Thank you.
INSKEEP: Tim Padgett of WLRN has some details on the suspect in a school shooting that left 17 people dead in South Florida yesterday. We'll bring you more as we learn it. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Hull City Council has unveiled a £1.5 million plan to create a new parade of seven business units at the Boulevard Unit Factory Estate.
Already home to more than 30 small companies, the site is the largest of its type in the authority's portfolio.
The construction contract has been awarded to York-based William Birch & Sons Ltd.
It will undertake the detailed design work, submit a planning application for the scheme and deliver the construction services, if successful.
Hull City Council's director of regeneration, Mark Jones, said: "Hull City Council has big ambitions to help fuel the recovery of the city following the Covid pandemic and, to do this, we need to support the growth and development of our fledgling businesses.
"This city has a proud history of entrepreneurialism and these new units will help nurture the next generation of businesses that will create wealth and jobs for the people of Hull.
"We are delighted to be working with William Birch & Sons Ltd and have been impressed with their vision for this development. It will create some fantastic new spaces for businesses and is a vital step forward as we grow and develop the economy."
It would replace vacant dated buildings latterly used by the local authority as a training centre. They are awaiting demolition subject to planning consent.

The addition, featuring fully glazed frontages, would look out onto Goulton Street, with rear loading bay areas. Neighbours include Airco and Go Hire.
William Birch business development director, Gemma Shahjahan, said: " We are working closely with the council and our design team, Janus Architecture, to put forward a great design for the new parade.
"It is great news for local businesses, the construction industry and new fledgling start-ups to get a facility like this in Hull, and we are looking forward to getting the scheme through planning and on site soon thereafter."

A third of the scheme is being funded by Hull and East Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership, after it secured £500,000 from the government.
James Newman, chair of the new entity, said: "We are very pleased to see the Getting Building Fund beginning to support business-focused projects across our region and are delighted that Hull City Council has unveiled its plans for the Boulevard Unit Factory Estate.
"These units will, in time, support local businesses to grow, providing new employment opportunities, whilst helping to strengthen our economy at this pivotal time in the region's post-pandemic recovery."

COWTOWN (est. summer 2005) are an ever evolving post-punk three piece from LEEDS consisting of Jonathan Nash on guitar/vocals (RUNNERS/NOPE/HOOKWORMS), David Michael Shields on drums (MONSTER KILLED BY LASER) and founding member Hilary Knott on synthesizers/vocals.
They began life as a bizarre grungy noise duo before succumbing to the influence of late 70's/early 80's punk, post-punk, new wave (Devo, B52's, Pere Ubu, Walls Of Voodoo, ESG, Liquid Liquid, Black Flag, Minutemen, Tom Tom Club etc) and the soundtracks that galvanized their earliest listening experiences (Teenwolf, Karate Kid, Gremlins, Beverley Hills Cop, Ghostbusters etc). Couple that with an obsessive fascination with They Might Be Giants (which explains away their namesake) and you have some idea of what to expect from the trio.


W.J. Mouat's Crysthian Rivas leaps into Mount Douglas Rams running back Mason Swift.
Perhaps the rise of the Mount Douglas Rams AAA varsity football team should have been more obvious, but no one saw this coming.
The Rams outclassed their rivals, Abbotsford's W.J. Mouat Hawks, with a 41-15 win on Saturday at UBC's Thunderbird Stadium.
It sets up a Subway Bowl final between the Rams and Vancouver College Fighting Irish, 7 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 1) at B.C. Place Stadium. The Irish defeated the St. Thomas More Knights 42-20 in the other AAA semifinal.
Maybe the Rams win should have been more obvious, because in last year's semifinal the Rams upset the province's top-ranked team, St. Thomas More.
Going into the Saturday's semifinal, all eyes were on Hawks tailback Maleek Irons, who rushed 491 yards on 48 carries in the Hawks 52-49 win over the Rams on Oct. 13.
But this time it was all Rams.
When the Hawks came up empty on their first drive, the Rams stormed down field for a 7-0 lead on a 75-yard touchdown run from AAA Player of the Year Marcus Davis.
In a unique sequence of plays, the Rams executed a strategy that took the Hawks out of the game by attempting and recovering two consecutive onside kicks.
Callum Duke's first kick was perfect and was recovered by Stephan Lechinsky. Running back Mason Swift capped the ensuing drive with a four-yard touchdown run.
"We felt we had a chance to drive a hard squib kick off one of their front line players," Townsend said.
Lechinsky. Quarterback Ashton MacKinnon finished that drive with a 16-yard TD strike to Davis, his second of three in of the game.
"On the night, we weren't up to the challenge," Mouat head coach Denis Kelly said.
The Rams were up 41-0 by the time Mouat scored in the second half. Irons was held to 120 yards on 18 carries and one touchdown, a solid game but a far cry from his last effort against the Rams.
Davis scored his third touchdown on a 20-yard run and Swift scored his second on a 17-yard dash. Receiver Brian Dowds caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from MacKinnon.
The Rams now prepare for the Fighting Irish, which makes its first appearance in the AAA Subway Bowl since winning it against the Terry Fox Ravens in 2010.
Leading the Irish's offence is a "three-headed monster," running back Liam Mahara, receiver Rashaun Simonise, and the strong-armed quarterback Hunter Robinson.
"Vancouver College is a talented and well-coached team and we have great respect for them," Townsend said.
The Rams and Fighting Irish met on Oct. 5, a 54-32 Rams' win at Royal Athletic Park. On Thursday (Nov. 21) the junior Rams lost 14-7 in their AAA semifinal to the Terry Fox Ravens.
Semifinal preview: can the Rams stop Maleek Irons?

Review: WATER/ماء: Trespassing Liquid Highways at Gallery 102
"WATER / ماء: Trespassing Liquid Highways," is the politically-minded, socially engaged and ambitious exhibition currently on view at GWU's Gallery 102. The exhibition, which focuses on work by Mediterranean and Caribbean artists, uses bodies of water as the baseline with which to explore "movements within/inside/under/around the body of/and water from multi-layered perspectives — questioning colonialist and orientalist notions of paradise and uncovering forgotten transnational entanglements," as Tunisian-born curator Ikram Lakhdhar writes in the exhibition catalog. This is a lot for an exhibition to take on, but it does pose an interesting question, which is handled to varying degrees of success: How does an artist or artwork attend itself to enormous conceptual ambitions, historical events, notions of self and personhood, etc., when we are deluged with headlines, images and sound clips recounting these very narratives? What and how can art express that this onslaught of information cannot? In what ways can art acknowledge and transcend the historical contexts in which it is created in order to inhabit another zone of experience, while retaining the traces of that experience?

Some of the works aim to educate audiences to the realities of mass migrations across the sea — in particular the conflict in Syria — in a highly illustrative fashion. Lebanese artist Helen Zughaib's "Syrian Migration" cleverly adopts the narrative style and colorful abstraction of African-American artist Jacob Lawrence's 1940 magnum opus "The Migration Series." Sequenced numerically much like Lawrence's panels were in an effort to tell an episodic tale, the panels clearly illustrate the devastation and uprooting of the Syrian conflict in a highly legible manner. Clusters of people clad in vibrant, patterned clothing are crammed into boats, and journey across the desert under skies filled with military planes. They bury their dead. Sometimes, headline-grabbing images make an appearance. The highly circulated image of Aylan Kurdi, a three-year old Syrian-refugee whose body washed ashore on a beach in Turkey as he and his family unsuccessfully attempted to flee the country by boat, is rendered in the work titled Syrian Migration #10. In this panel, Kurdi's lifeless body is rendered against a stylized sea of curlicued white and aquamarine waves that toss and undulate menacingly above him as a Turkish paramilitary trooper looks on, his head hung in defeat. To see Lawrence's narrative style employed for the purposes of elucidating a contemporary human tragedy is undeniably smart. In some panels, Zughaib's compositions are direct one-to-ones with Lawrence's 1940 originals, replacing the bodies of black men and women with figures clad in burkas. The story of the Syrian migration is told in a legible, clear and immediate way.

The work on the wall opposite by Ilyes Messaoudi is similar in tone. The Tunisian artist sews scenes of North African migrants making the journey across the Mediterranean, but these scenes are often left without resolve. The works, which are sewn into vibrant floral patterned scarves and fabrics often worn in Tunisia, depict imagery of people thrown overboard from small boats into the ocean while gun-toting soldiers look upon them without remorse. Setting the tone for the room is a work by US Virgin Islands native Ellington Robinson. Titled MATTER, MATRIX, MOTHER, the graphite work on paper looks like a topographic map of a mountain range or the ocean floor: boundaries seen from above; borders and thresholds to be crossed; seas to be traversed; obstacles to be overcome.
Other works are less directly tied to any particular event and are thus open to interpretation, and it is these that linger in the memory. The first work viewers will encounter in the exhibition is Iranian-American Ani Bradberry's elegant and minimal Surface Tension. A specially commissioned sculpture made for the exhibition, Surface Tension is a single band of green neon that is precariously suspended from the ceiling by an electrical cord into a clear cube aquarium full of water. Risk is inherent to this piece - the sight of an electrically charged object being dangled into a pool of water automatically elicits sensations of fear and anxiety. The white electric cord has been lovingly entwined with a tightly woven spool of red fabric. The fabric signals the presence of the human hand, but also carries connotations of hazard - anyone who has used a blow drier will immediately recall the warning labels of potential electrocution if the machine falls into water. With its silent menace, the piece also alludes to dismantlers of bombs and minefields. One false move and the whole thing could blow. Bradberry's work quietly and succinctly embodies the transition of an artwork from a literal representation into the abstract terrain of the aesthetic and universal experience: viewers must contend with the challenge that Surface Tension poses to their sense of safety in the gallery space and in their own bodies in a direct and undeniable way.
The opposite wall features a duo of large-scale paintings by Dominican artist Scherezade Garcia. The images, a pair of large-scale paintings of ghostly brown faces in flotation devices, are truncated by aqua and gold calligraphic lines that are at once reminiscent of Arabic script and the splashes and undulations of waves. The paintings — hung between a wall of suspended gold flotation devices — are haunting, cryptic and baffling. Who are these brown figures peeking out from under layers of thick gold and blue paint, and why are they in floatation devices decorated with Mickey Mouse patterns? Some wear headdresses, and others, gold crosses and rosary beads. The figures faces look childlike, innocent and void of expression, yet they exist in purgatorial spaces where expressive blue brushstrokes lap their faces like water, or flames. Perhaps these paintings serve as a commemoration to the nameless souls claimed by the ocean; bodies without graves; the gold flotation devices their headstones.
"WATER / ماء: Trespassing Liquid Highways" is a strong exhibition. The work is smart, well-informed and professionally presented, but it relies heavily on accompanying wall text and an exhibition catalog for interpretation. While offering so much information could be seen as a generous gesture by the curator, this choice risks seeming too formal and museological for work capable of speaking clearly for itself. The exhibition seems to strain under the weight of the quantity of information and themes it touches upon. This is at odds with the passion that clearly drives the exhibition, and could potentially limit the chances for work that is more experimental in nature to be folded into the show. For example, DC-based artist Alexandra Delafkaran ephemeral performance The way you say I'm trying was a commissioned part of the exhibition, but it is not accessible for viewers who missed the opening: there is no video documentation, stills or remnants of the performance to attest to its existence. This seems a missed opportunity. All the same, "WATER / ماء: Trespassing Liquid Highways" is a strong debut by a new curatorial voice who has amassed an impressive roster of artists.

Kyle Fuller is on his way to being an All-Pro in 2018. A dramatic turnaround for the former 1st round pick considering he missed all of 2016 with a knee injury. Most left him for dead at that point. Now the Chicago Bears cornerback has six interceptions with four games left to play. He has an argument for being one of, if not the best at his position in the NFL this year.
So how has this incredible blossoming come about? Being healthy was the first part, naturally. Then there's his own talent. However, in order to take things to the next level defensive coordinator Vic Fangio made it clear to him that he would have to embrace the mental side of the game. Learn to study opponents inside and out.
This was something he started to get into more last year when his contract was becoming a factor. He ended up having the best season of his career to that point, earning a lucrative new deal from the Bears as a result. Since then it seems he's only gotten crazier with the film study.
Normally game film review is reserved for during the day at Halas Hall or maybe on the TV in the morning or at night. Not for somebody like Fuller. It seems he's truly become a film junky. Khalil Mack was asked about it and he revealed a rather amazing story of the craziest time he ever saw the corner start watching film.
That is so great and explains a lot. People think veterans are kidding and overexaggerating when they say the key to success at the pro level is to keep your nose in the playbook and the film room. Some guys just don't want to listen because they think they can get back with their talent alone. That may be true for a couple of years, but the game catches up fast.
Fuller is making sure that he isn't going to be some one-year wonder. He aims to stick around for a long time, and this is the way to do it.


The depositor in the currency advertise takes for contracted that a pair of currencies can be bought or sold at a moment's notice. Once an order is located with a broker, the trade is executed contained by seconds. It is, of course, not as easy as that.
Whenever a pair of currencies is bought or sold, there must be a big shot at the other end of the transaction. It is very doubtful that the financier will constantly find a big cheese who is fascinated in business and advertising the same two currencies at the same amount, and at the same time. Hence, the ask remains, "How is it achievable that the forex depositor can buy or sell at any time?" This is where the forex promote makers come in.
The forex bazaar maker is a bank or brokerage ballet company that stands ready, every back of the trading day with a firm bid and ask price. This is good for the financier since when the backer chooses to buy and sell a pair of currencies, the bazaar maker will acquisition from and sell to the investor, even if they do not have a buyer and peddler lined up. In doing so, they are exactly "making a market" for the currencies.
Forex advertise makers guarantee that the promote is all the time functional and that the currencies in it will all the time fetch the marketplace rate. Forex marketplace makers do so by updating their prices at intervals of at least 30 seconds and undertaking to trade if this is requested. Forex advertise makers must comply with their obligations irrespective of whether the cost-effective job is advantageous or unfavorable, or whether they lose or profit by doing so.
Typical forex bazaar makers comprise Gain Capital, CMS Forex, Forex First city Markets (FXCM), and Comprehensive Forex Trading, all of which are in time by the Commodity Futures Trading Appoint (CFTC) of the USA. A different prominent forex marketplace maker is Saxo Bank, which is in harmony by the Pecuniary Army Authorization (FSA) of Denmark.
Until recently, chief banks, business-related banks and investment banks dominated the forex market. Due to the entry of forex marketplace makers, other bazaar players like worldwide money brokers, large corporation companies, registered dealers, comprehensive money managers, and confidential speculators have entered the promote in large numbers.
Forex Brokers Info provides complete in sequence on forex brokers, forex trading and promote makers, and other forex-related topics. Forex Brokers Info is the sister site of Incorporating in Florida Web.
Foreign altercation marketplace is also known as Forex or FX market. To date, it is the world's main "economic bazaar".
Most traders tend to concentrate on analytic the accurate entry for a trade. However, in certainty the entry price is just one part of the equation.
FOREX is the world's leading and most liquid trading market. Many care about FOREX as the best home big business you can ever venture in.
The contemporary upheavals in the world economic markets were quelled by the direct intercession of both worldwide fiscal institutions such as the IMF and of domestic ones in the industrial countries, such as the Central Cache in the USA. The chance seems to have passed, even if current tremors in South Korea, Brazil and Taiwan do not augur well.
Is The U.S. Cash About To Back Course?
There is one bearing that is measured as one of the best return of FOREX Trading. This is allied to the quantity of money you need to place a trade, this is known as "margin", and in short, this is all that can be lost in a the case you had a bad trade.
A adviser is any anyone or firm that charges a fee in barter for executing trades for a trader. A Forex dealer does not accuse a administration for insertion a buy or a sell order the way a real estate insurance broker would allege a percentage fee of the total price of a sale.
All certified traders have a trading plan. Trading futures is a zero sum game and those with a plan (and the chastise to apply it) will be a success over those that have no plan.
With currency trading appropriate ever more popular, the digit of brokers is budding at a rapid rate. What must one look at when deciding which dealer to open an checking account with? These are the central points to consider.
The Exotic Altercation Promote - develop known as FOREX - is a world wide advertise for export and advertising currencies. It handles a huge capacity of transactions 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Money management determines how much to risk on each characteristic trade. This is a vital amount of any trading coordination - risk too much and the odds of going bust are too high, risk too hardly and the reward for trading is too low.
The psychological bearing of trading is by and large underestimated by those new to trading. The psychological challenge for most traders is the fear of trailing - as luck would have it it is this fear that causes most traders to lose money in the long run.

Right wing: JOHN BOEHNER IS BAD!
Democrats: Yeah, cool, I think we're on the same page on this one.
Right wing: DOWN WITH BOEHNER!
Democrats: Yeah! Down with him!
Right wing: A REAL REPUBLICAN INSTEAD!
Democrats: Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Nevermind. We take it back. Boehner is fine. Guys?
Right wing: TOO LATE! GOVERNMENT MUST GO! CITIES WILL BE RUN BY THE MAN WHO CAN SCREAM THE LOUDEST AAAAAAAOOAAHHHHHHHH!
That's kind of the conversation transpiring in the House of Representatives, as pressure from the right flank has compelled Speaker of the House John Boehner to resign. Boehner has scheduled his departure for Oct. 30, which can't be a coincidence. You don't just coincidentally leave your job the day before Halloween. Not when you finally have an opportunity to wear that "slutty Speaker of the House" outfit that everyone complained about at work (honestly, if you're not going to let people dress casually, stop calling it casual Friday).
A recent Republican campaign against Planned Parenthood has left the party torn, as those labeling the organization "super duper horrible" have come under fire from those, like the House Freedom Caucus, labeling it "super duper duper horrible." After Boehner hinted that he might not shut down the government in protest of federal funding for Planned Parenthood, the House Freedom Caucus pounced. Here's the thing they're missing: Boehner is the second of 12 children. I promise, no one in the Boehner household uses contraceptives, let alone supports abortion. Their family tree is like something out of "Avatar" (2009).
Republican scorn for Planned Parenthood comes despite the breakdown of its services being 34 percent contraception, 42 percent STD treatment and three percent abortion. Asked to comment on this breakdown, the House Freedom Caucus issued the following press release: "While we are aware that 97 percent of Planned Parenthood services are non-abortion health services, we maintain that 'boys rule, and girls drool', so we stand by our position to defund." So much has been put into legislative writing in bill S.1881, named for the last year it might have been popularly supported.
The thorn in the Republican Party's side is 30 to 40 extreme conservatives, and they're not extreme in the cool way, like the X-Games, or doing 'shrooms, or (OMG YO) both at the same time??? Extreme in the sense that they think the U.S. government is a Nintendo 64, and if it's ever acting screwy, you can fix it by just turning it off and turning it on again.
Former vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan, perhaps the last hope for the torn Republicans, has steadfastly shut down requests to serve as Speaker, recognizing that the position involves bipartisan dialogue, a.k.a. politics-cooties. He has dodged, ducked, dipped, dived and dodged again Boehner's pleas, saying he's grateful for the support he's received, but that the Speakership is "a good job for an empty-nester." Unfortunately for Boehner, Ryan has three children and two amazing biceps to spend time with at home.

"Frenchising Mona Lisa," a video performance by Amir Baradarin
Virtual Graffiti in the Read-Write City
Updated November 9, 2017 3:18 p.m.
This article was originally published on Promax in conjunction with Media Literacy Week, which is designed to highlight the power of media literacy education by showcasing the work of amazing media literacy educators and organizations nationwide and by driving conversation that creates positive social change.
Augmented Reality (AR) is a form of media that we can use to access, analyze, communicate and create new messages layered onto our physical space. In a sense, this layer of augmented content is a way to "read" additional information and it gives creators a chance to "write" and layer new stories for people to engage with. In this regard, AR effectively expands the concept of literacy. It can create a "Read-Write" City, one that can very much reveal what is hidden and encourage civic engagement.
Pokémon Go by Niantic Labs was this summer's craze with a staggering 7.5 million people downloading it in the first week. This helped AR gain a broader acceptance to read-write our cities. Though the level of playing Pokémon Go has decreased, it continues to leave a layer of "virtual graffiti" that will not be erased, and even if it could be erased...would we want it to? AR layers an additional level of media onto the physical world, whether it is sound, images, graphics, or GPS data to name a few. AR can be a democratizing force, one that encourages communities to contribute to their culture, tell their stories, reflect on history and inspire others to actively inquire, think and reflect on our shared public spaces.
Take for example artist Amir Baradarin who in 2011 subverted The Louvre in France to have the Mona Lisa come to life through a video performance called Frenchising Mona Lisa. Leonardo DaVinci's Mona Lisa is a French icon—one that over time has become representative of French nationalism. Yet, in essence, the painting is of an Italian Noblewoman from a wealth Italian family which begs to question the juxtaposition of opulence vs the common man, or elitism versus the general public. The public could hold their mobile screen up to any picture of the Mona Lisa and the woman in the painting would transform into wearing the French flag as a hijab, an Islamic head scarf which was a cry out for religious persecution since around that time the government had banned hijabs from being worn in public schools.
Amir's goal was to encourage people to question French nationalism as well as ownership of the curatorial museum experience posing a question of freedom of expression from two points of view.
The first is from the artist's perspective. The artist, Amir Baradarin, wants the public to see with new eyes and ponder "Who gets to dictate what viewpoints are forced on others?"
This points out the concern that the content we view is actually already dictated to us. The illusion is that it is personalized to our interests but in actuality it is that we choose to live in a "filtered bubble" (a term coined by Internet activist, Eli Pariser). While some will want to blame it on how Artificial Intelligence is customizing our media experience, it is also about who and what we choose to follow or unfollow.
Facebook is a good example of this. How often have you read a post from one of your family or friends that you disagreed with and chose to hide or unfollow that person because you disagree with their views or posts? This can escalate to the point of living in a world where you communicate with is of the same cultural or ideological norms as you, which over time can cause negative impact on civil discourse and democracy.
AR can help burst this "filtered bubble" and offer virtual moments that allow us to stumble upon "graffiti-covered" walls by pure chance. Graffiti has always been surrounded by controversies where disagreements have arisen between if it's legal or not, and where it should be displayed or not, but what usually happens is the images that are stumbled upon in the most unexpected places that encourage you to re-think the meaning of that place. Augmented reality has the power to reveal that which is hidden, to give rise to alternative storytelling, and to mediate the stories between the present and the past.
Let's return to Amir's Frenchising Mona Lisa. From the Louvre's point of view, this museum thought themselves the content experts in charge of upholding the integrity of Leonardo DaVinci's masterpiece. So, when artist, Amir, comes in and layers his own interpretation on the Mona Lisa and shares it with the public to question what the painting really represents, in a sense, the Louvre felt as if it were hacked! The Louvre had not given permission to Amir so felt violated for changing the conversation on a national treasure. We saw this also happen with Pokémon Go this summer when players pursued Poke Stops in locations that didn't choose to participate, such as the Holocaust Museum, Arlington National Cemetery or the Hiroshima Memorial. These were somber spaces wanting to respect the dead, and protect their sense of place. Catching Pokémon at these locations seemed to re-contextualize the place and felt like a violation for not having a way to opt-in and choose to participate.
However, currently there are no digital trespassing laws. Rather than shut down innovation or set policy too soon, isn't it better for experiences like this to provoke social good and civil discussion? If everyone asked permission first, these provocative messages might not happen. For the record, Niantic Labs did remove the Poke Stops from the locations requesting removal of the game. What's interesting is many teens have taken to YouTube to offer tutorials for their peers on how to respect the places they visit while also playing the game, and others have shared that Pokémon Go has breathed renewed life into cemeteries, which historically were considered public parks and places for recreation.
This is the start of National Media Literacy week, a time for everyone to reflect on how we use media to access, analyze, evaluate, communicate and create messages. In its simplest terms, media literacy builds upon the foundation of how we read and write through new forms of media, such as using AR to tell new stories throughout your city. If you are designing an AR experience for the public—whether its to market a brand, give voice to an under-represented community, or build a new playable story—critically think about the messages you are creating and ask yourself these questions:
—What is your version of the Read-Write City?
—Are you offering alternative voices in your message?
—Are there opportunities for serendipity and stumbling upon something new?
What started as a summer hit opens up a Pandora's box of using augmented reality to tag our world, shape the future of location-based storytelling and knit the digital and physical worlds more tightly together. It also has given us a glimpse into the future where the moral codes and ethics of creating this new layer and choice to participate needs to be unpacked.
Note: Erin Reilly designed and organized an Ideation Huddle: Banksy on every corner at USC's Annenberg Innovation Lab. Fifteen people attended with Artifact Technologies, BC Biermann, Cynthia Wang and Jeff Watson as provocateurs. This represents her summary of the huddle, a wealth of knowledge and conversation from all who attended.

Operating department practitioner struck off on grounds of conviction
Dawn McIntosh (ODP 10179) has been struck off the HCPC Register on the grounds of conviction whilst registered as an operating department practitioner with the HCPC.
A panel of the HCPTS heard that Mrs McIntosh was convicted at Derby Crown Court of dishonestly making false representation to make gain for self / another or cause loss to other / expose other to risk. She was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment suspended for two years.
The Panel further heard that in the role of her stepfather's power of attorney Mrs McIntosh withdrew a total of £17,958 from two bank accounts for her personal gain.
Panel Chair Brian Wroe commented:
"The Panel was of the view that the nature and gravity of Mrs McIntosh's offending are such that a striking off order is required. It was clear to the Panel that any reasonably informed member of the public would be profoundly concerned if she were not removed from the Register."
The Panel ordered for the name of Dawn McIntosh to be struck off the HCPC Register.
Mrs McIntosh was neither present at the hearing nor represented.

SAGE Early Alert is a robust platform that magnifies communication between student, faculty, and student support staff, creating pathways to retention and success for students in colleges and universities.
SAGE is an excellent tool that allows faculty to provide real-time feedback to their students. It allows our ASAP! Coaches to see a holistic view of the students' academic progress during the semester and provide immediate services to our students.
We tried to implement other early alert systems and even develop our own. Each attempt was met with pushback from faculty and ultimately failed. With SAGE, the process is so simple that faculty are happy to enter referrals for their students and 'raise the flag' to help those that are struggling. We are now able to intervene quickly and address issues while there is still time to make course corrections.
SAGE has changed the culture at our campus. We used to reach out to students after they had dropped a course or dropped out completely from classes. This was a lesson in futility. No matter the amount of effort, it was too late for the student to change anything in those courses. After a couple semesters working with SAGE and tweaking it to our needs, our student retention has increased 6% and we have been able to develop a stronger support system for at-risk students. We are excited by the possibilities as we continue to adapt SAGE Early Alert referrals to our specific populations.
What do I need to run SAGE?
SAGE must be installed onto a Trac System: AdvisorTrac, TutorTrac, or FitnessTrac. In order for email notifications to be sent by SAGE, your Trac System must be configured to send email through your mail server.
Your SAGE Early Alert module is accessed via your Trac System and whichever secure campus authentication protocol is in place, be it LDAP, Active Directory, CAS, Blackboard, or other. Redrock Software also recommends that access to your Trac System and SAGE be secured with TLS encryption.
SAGE is an acronym for Student Alerts and Grouped Events. The primary feature of SAGE is the Student Alerts, which is accomplished through customizing referral entry forms and notifications. When a referral is submitted, the appropriate parties are then notified.
Can I just run SAGE without a Trac System?
SAGE Early Alert cannot run on its own and must be added to a Trac System: AdvisorTrac, TutorTrac, or FitnessTrac. While SAGE is a significant module with a full array of features, the Trac System provides the database, interface, and environment that is required to access and manage the student records.

"Is it all right that we're meeting on FaceTime today?" Jason asks.
"Of course," I reply.
"You didn't mind that I called and asked if we could?"
"No. But why are you sounding so tentative, scared."
Jason drops his eyes. "It was 19 years ago today," he says softly. "I was 25 years old. Seems impossible I was ever that young. But it also seems impossible that 19 years have passed. All I accomplished was that I got out of New York. But I'm as terrified today as I was then. At least then it felt as though there was an escape – get out of New York and your chances are way better. Now, now it doesn't matter where you are, you're doomed, subject to the whim of a virus. I'm tired, tired of feeling frightened."
"I believe you, Jason. You were terrified during the 9/11 attacks and you're terrified again. And, of course, we can't forget that you were terrified your entire childhood."
"I know you keep saying that and it's true, but this is real! There
is this deadly disease out there that can strike anyone at anytime and there are a bunch of idiots who don't think they should be wearing masks. Who wouldn't be frightened?"
"Do you feel your childhood terrors weren't real? An explosive, alcoholic mother who would beat you with a strap. I'd say that's pretty real."
"But that was then. That's not what I'm living through now."
"You may not be living through that now, but you are living with it. Those memories, those experiences are always with you."
"I suppose."
"Jason, why do you think you were so tentative about asking me to meet on FaceTime, why you had to check to see if it had been okay to call?"
"But you said it was all right," he responds, tremulously.
"What are you feeling right now?" I ask softly.
"I just want to be sure it was okay to call, okay to ask for something different," he replies, staring at me intently.
"Are you frightened of me right now?"
"I… I don't know." Pause. "Can you just tell me I didn't do anything wrong?"
"Of course you didn't do anything wrong. What you're showing both of us is how easy it is for you to become frightened. You've put your mother's face on me and are afraid I'll be just as scary and irrational as her."
"I was thinking of that time I was, I don't know, maybe 12, and my sister had a bunch of her friends over. My mother got mad at me for something, I don't remember what. She started to throw out my comic book collection. I was really into comic books. She took one bunch of comic books after another and took them to the dumpster. I was hanging unto her leg and crying and begging her to stop. Right in front of those girls. Then she took the belt and started beating me. She was like a crazy woman. I begged and cried and screamed. I was so humiliated."
"Oh Jason, that's such a sad story. I'd just want to hug that little boy and tell him it will be all right. I wish you could hug that little boy and feel for the terrorized child in you." Pause. "Your mother is like the 9/11 attacks and the virus rolled into one."
"So you're saying that's why I feel so frightened."
"Yes, just like you became instantly frightened of me when you thought I might just possibly be angry that you'd asked for a change in how we meet."
"I get that in terms of you, but the virus is real, it's scary. Shouldn't everyone be frightened?"
"Certainly everyone should be concerned with their safety and the safety of others. But beyond that, and I'm not talking about the politics surrounding the virus, beyond that, how people feel about the virus depends a lot on what they bring with them from their childhoods. If children grew up in a basically safe and loving environment they're more likely to feel things will work out okay, that they won't be harmed. That doesn't mean they won't be harmed, but they don't feel terrified every minute of every day. On the other hand, if a child grew up in an environment where one or the other parent was anxious all the time about some unknown danger, that person is likely to be a more anxious and frightened adult. And growing up as you did, where anything really bad could happen at any moment, well that's going to lead to where you are today, scared and waiting for catastrophe to strike."
"But what do I do about all that? I can't redo my childhood."
"What we have to do is allow you to feel all the terror you felt as a child and then get to a point where you can take in that you're no longer a child, that you no longer have to be afraid of your mother, not the real one nor the one that walks around in your head."
