Why was the Rams Defense so Inconsistent Last Season?
By footballfilmroom on March 31, 2015 • ( Leave a comment )
At times, the Rams defense looked like the best unit in the league in 2014. They held Peyton Manning and the Broncos offense to 7 points in Week 11. They posted back-to-back shutouts against the Raiders and Redskins a few weeks later. Still, at other times, the Rams were not very good. They allowed 30 or more points in 7 of their 16 games. Despite all of the talent on their roster, they finished as a middle-of-the-pack defense in points and yards allowed. So what was the reason for the inconsistency?
Top to bottom, the Rams were and are among the most talented defenses in the NFL. Robert Quinn has established himself as an elite pass rusher who has to be accounted for by the offensive line at all times. Defensive tackle Aaron Donald had a tremendous rookie season in 2014, registering 9.0 sacks and splitting double-teams with regularity in the running game. The Rams had talent and speed at linebacker, as well as safeties and corners who were aggressive tacklers. As a unit, the Rams defense flew around the field last season.
Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams implemented his system of aggressive blitzing and disguise. At their best, the Rams were able to combine a fierce pass rush with coverages that confused even the best quarterbacks in the game.
The below play from Week 11 against the Broncos was a perfect example of this. This was 4th-and-4 with just under 10 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. Denver desperately needed a conversion. At the snap, the Rams looked like they were playing man free (man-to-man coverage with a free safety in the middle of the field). It appeared as though they were matching up as the picture below shows.

After the snap, the defender who appeared to be covering the #3 inside receiver jumped inside of Wes Welker. The defender over Welker, jumped outside of him.
In effect, these two defenders were bracketing Welker. They baited Manning at the snap by making him feel comfortable that he could get Welker in 1-on-1 coverage right around the first down marker. Instead, Welker was double-teamed. Manning recognized this after the snap, but by then it was too late. The Rams had gotten inside pressure with a blitz, and the result was a sack.
This basically ended the Broncos chances of winning that game.
The Rams aggressiveness and disguise were part of what made them a good defense last season. Their unconventional coverages created hesitation by quarterbacks, and their blitzes created mistakes. The Rams were near the top of the NFL in blitz frequency, sacks on blitzes, and interceptions forced on blitzes.
So with all of that great talent and scheme, why were the Rams so inconsistent? Well, there are a few reasons.
Teams were able to use the Rams' aggressiveness against them. In Week 12, for instance, the Chargers had lots of success using screens, which got ball carriers out in the open field past blitzing defenders with more space to maneuver. This could be one reason why the Rams allowed the 7th most yards after catch in the NFL last season. It could also explain why the Rams ranked 22nd in opponent passer rating vs. the blitz.
Another reason for the Rams' inconsistency was discipline. There are times to be aggressive, but there are also times to play to your responsibilities as a defense. The Rams secondary was great at attacking running backs in the running game, and at pouncing on receivers. Sometimes that aggressiveness backfired, though.
Take this play, for instance. This was 1st-and-10 and the Rams played Tampa-2 coverage. The Chargers ran a dig-flat route combination that attacked cornerback E.J. Gaines, who was playing inside.
Gaines, who impressed all season with his ability to come up in the running game, pounced on the flat route after quarterback Philip Rivers gave him a bit of a shoulder roll.
He abandoned his zone responsibility and left a gaping void behind him.
Why did he do this? If the running back had caught the ball in the flat, cornerback Janoris Jenkins (who was playing to his responsibility) was there to make the tackle. Gaines could have then come up to help and ensure it was only a short gain. His aggressiveness got the best of him, and it created an easy 14-yard completion for the opposition. Gaines knew it too, as he put both his hands on the top of his helmet in frustration after the play.
This play against the 49ers in Week 6 was another example of over-aggressiveness. Here, the ball was snapped with 24 seconds left in the half. The 49ers had 80 yards to go. The Rams rotated to a cover-3 defense after the snap. Gregg Williams even got a little fancy and had his middle linebacker, James Laurinaitis, drop back as the deep middle defender instead of a safety. The two deep safeties at the start of the play jumped underneath.
Cornerback Janoris Jenkins was responsible for the deep 3rd of the field to his side. Yet when receiver Brandon Lloyd gave him a double-move, Jenkins jumped it and got burned. Below, you can see him starting to squat on the route.
And now you can see Lloyd running by him.
The result was an 80-yard touchdown right before the half. Why did Jenkins try to jump this route? A 12-yard completion there does nothing to hurt you as a defense. Not to mention, as an outside corner in cover-3, you're responsible for the deep third of the field. Jon Gruden, who was calling the game on Monday Night Football, even cried out after the play, "That is horrible defense by St. Louis!"
By design, the Rams secondary wants to be aggressive and jump routes. They don't play a lot of man press coverage. Normally, they play soft coverage and sit on routes expecting quarterbacks to get rid of the ball quickly in the face of the blitz. They're pretty good at this in general. However, if the pass rush doesn't get there in time, it sometimes leaves the secondary flat-footed and susceptible to big plays over the top.
The Rams have most of their talent returning on defense in 2015. They've added depth to their defensive line and linebacking corps in Nick Fairley and Akeem Ayers. They have a serious chance to compete in a very tough NFC West. If they can eliminate the mistakes in their 2nd season under Gregg Williams and gain more consistency (and if the offense can start pulling its weight), they should be in the playoff mix in 2015.

Overtime Capitalizes on Women's Basketball Buzz With OvertimeWBB
Media / March 4th, 2019
By Bailey Knecht
Photo credit: Overtime
Building on the Gen Z affinity for social media and all things internet-related, digital-media startup Overtime has cultivated a passionate following of sports fans over the past few years. Now, Overtime is now branching out into the women's sports space with its own platform dedicated solely to women's hoops — OvertimeWBB.
The platform, which already has nearly 200,000 Instagram followers, will cover women's basketball at all levels, from youth basketball to the WNBA.
"We've obviously been proud of how we've done on the basketball, soccer, football and esports side, and we've been able to do some stuff in women's sports, with different series and highlighting female athletes, and having female talent in Rachel DeMita, but we want to focus more on women's sports in 2019," said Overtime co-founder and president Zack Weiner. "It's both the right thing to do, and it's good business, because to be clear, it's not just females interested in watching female athletes."
OvertimeWBB is built on the foundation of the women's basketball network She Hoops, which Overtime acquired last fall.
Chloe Pavlech, previously of She Hoops and a former University of Maryland player, is heading up programming for OvertimeWBB as Talent and Digital Content Manager.

"Women's sports have been underrepresented for a very long time, and Overtime saw it as a chance to give more coverage to girls and young women who really deserve it," Pavlech said. "Being able to provide more long-form content, outside of just the actual players, showing players for who they are, and finding and developing the different stories… it's cool to be a part of that, and with Overtime, we have that bigger audience. Before, I just saw what I was doing as getting the whole women's basketball community involved, and now it's like, everyone needs to see how cool this is, not just the women's basketball community."
Pavlech has been pushing for more women's basketball coverage for her entire career, but a void in coverage still exists, and in turn, a unique opportunity for Overtime to capitalize.
"It's never really felt like there was a space for that, and that's the whole reason this network has been created," she said. "We realized that men had a space for highlights and cool plays, but there was none for women, and it wasn't like women weren't doing anything cool, but just that there wasn't a space for them. It's really a product of what you put out there because it's not that girls weren't doing cool things, it's just that now people are able to see them on different mediums. It's been incredible to see the interest."
Overtime has seen steady growth since its founding in 2016, but until now, the platform hadn't focused on female-specific coverage.
"It's been really encouraging, particularly in this last year, how much the Overtime brand has meant," Weiner said. "People all around the world know the Overtime brand, and it means something to them. The timing is right because Overtime is somewhat of an authority, not in terms of analysis, but around culture and around basketball. I think the timing really couldn't be better. Viewership and interest in women's basketball is at an all-time high, both at the WNBA level and at the grassroots level with upcoming stars."
Pavlech added that the Gen Z demographic has a level of respect and veneration for women's sports that has been hard to find in older generations, a fact that Overtime will take advantage of in its women's basketball coverage.
"It's really cool because right now, this is the first time I can remember that both sides support each other," she said. "When I think about high school boys right now, they're all close friends with the top high school girls, and I don't ever remember it being like that. They post each others' highlights, and you can see how much the guys support the girls."
Before launching OvertimeWBB, it was imperative for Weiner and his team to nail down the perfect person to lead it. Luckily, Pavlech has had her finger on the pulse of women's basketball for years.
"We needed to find the right person to run that, and Chloe so clearly is that," Weiner said. "There's a distinct advantage having someone so ingrained in that community and knowing what it's like."
"It's rare that you can find someone that's both a talent in terms of on-air, being a voice for Overtime, and someone that has more technical skills in terms of finding content and managing social, and Chloe has both," he added. "We're in the process of working on a show for her, which could be exciting. She's got a voice on social and can integrate herself into the content, and that's powerful. She's a grinder, basically running OvertimeWBB on her own. We'll be getting her support, but she's driving it, and that's great."
One of OvertimeWBB's goals is to push the limits of women's basketball coverage, reaching beyond traditional highlights and telling the stories of emerging stars like Fran Belibi, Jamad Fiin and Zia Cooke. In keeping with the classic Overtime method, OvertimeWBB will emphasize younger players with high potential, offering easy access to players at a young age so fans can follow them as they develop throughout their career.

"I think it's critical to Overtime's success in general," Weiner said of the ground-up approach. "Overtime feels very aspirational and also accessible, which is a rare combination. Everyone feels like, 'I want to be on Overtime,' and they feel they can make it because they see their peers at the same age on it. Getting fans invested is at the core of what we do, and we want to translate that to the women's basketball side."
"I think of someone like LeBron James and the coverage he's had literally since seventh grade, and the parallel to Candace Parker," added Pavlech. "If she would've had the same coverage as him since she was young, it would have been a completely different story."
Considering the opportunities to highlight rising stars, Pavlech said the OvertimeWBB platform also has the power to push other media outlets to up their own women's basketball coverage. As one of the most prominent platforms to dedicate a channel to exclusively to women's hoops, Overtime is already set up to lead the charge.
"It's taken so long until now, but that's the coolest thing, that now we're starting to see progress and a vision," Pavlech said. "When I started, we wanted to promote and grow the women game and give women's basketball a separate space, but what Overtime is doing is going to bring more coverage to the women's game in general, and not just because it's the quote-unquote 'cool' thing to do, but because there is a market there. It makes other outlets more competitive in covering women. That's what we want, so to be at the forefront of that is huge."

Lions Improve to 2-0, Judge, Stanton Go Deep
Stafford, Lions Stifle Giants, Move to 2-0
The Detroit Lions were in perfect position to improve to 2-0 on the young season as they were matched up with a New York Giants team that is struggling to put points on the board. Matthew Stafford threw for 122 yards and two touchdowns, as Detroit won the first two games of the season for the first time since 2011 with a 24-10 win on Monday night. Rookie Jamal Agnew added insurance late with an 88-yard punt return for a touchdown, as the Lions moved in to sole possession of first place in the NFC North early on. The defense was the key factor on the night for the Lions, as they sacked Eli Manning five times and forced an interception, and they were able to spoil the season debut of Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham had four catches for 36 yards after missing Week 1 with an ankle sprain. His night ended with him dropping a fourth-down pass late to seal the win for Detroit. The Lions joined the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers as the only unbeaten teams in the NFC, but they will host Matt Ryan's defending NFC Championship team on Sunday afternoon. Ezekiel Ansah led the defensive attack with three sacks, as they held Manning to 239 yards passing and just one touchdown. The Lions were also able to provide a rushing attack by totaling 139 yards on the ground as a team, led by Ameer Abdullah's 86 yards on 17 carries. Matt Prater also impressed with a 56-yard field goal near the end of the first half, giving them a 10-point lead. The one bright spot for the Giants is that every other NFC East team is just 1-1. The G-Men will look to figure things out on the road next week against the Philadelphia Eagles
Kershaw Gives Up Rare Slam, Dodgers Fall on the Road
Heading in to Monday's start, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw had not allowed a grand slam in his career. You can only guess what took place at Citizens Bank Park on Monday. SPOILER, Kershaw gave up the first grand slam of his career, as Aaron Altherr connected for one in the sixth inning for a 4-3 Philadelphia Phillies win. Chris Taylor and Justin Turner led off the game with consecutive home runs, Taylor's of the inside-the-park variety, to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead. They would not score again until Curtis Granderson went deep for a solo shot in the ninth inning. Despite the loss, the Dodgers still hold baseball's best record at 96-54, and their magic number to clinch the NL West dropped to three with the Arizona Diamondbacks' loss to the San Diego Padres. Altherr's grand slam snapped Kershaw's 32-inning scoreless streak against Philadelphia, which was his longest against any team in his career. Monday's defeat was Kershaw's fourth of the season, as he dropped to 3-5 in his career against the Phillies. Former Philadelphia second baseman Chase Utley went 0-for-2 with a couple strikeouts against his former team before getting pulled for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. These two teams will continue their series with Game 2 on Tuesday night.
Judge, Stanton Add to Massive HR Numbers
One of the biggest headlines of the 2017 MLB season has been the amount of home runs around the majors, which will break a record for a single season by the end of this year. Leading the way in that storyline has been New York Yankees rookie Aaron Judge and Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton. Both of those outfielders added to their season numbers on Monday, including Judge hitting his 44th homer of his rookie year in the Yankees' 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. Judge now sits five long balls away from tying Mark McGuire for the most home runs by a rookie in MLB history. McGuire had 49 with the Oakland A's in 1987. Judge has helped his Yankee team stay in the AL East race, as they sit three games behind the Boston Red Sox for first. They also hold the top American League Wild Card spot, five games ahead of the Minnesota Twins. Now although the Miami Marlins are seemingly out of the National League postseason race, they have a big story going in Stanton. The outfielder hit his league-leading 55th home run on Monday night to lead Miami in a 13-1 rout of the New York Mets. Stanton's blast was a three-run shot, as he drove in four on the night while batting third in the lineup for the first time this season. The fourth-inning homer snapped a drought of 29 at-bats without one for the All-Star. Marcell Ozuna added four hits, including his 34th big fly of the season to support Dan Straily in his 10th win of the year. Both Judge and Stanton will be back in action on their home turf Tuesday night.

RBS chases payment from 'victims' of mis‑sold loans
James Hurley, Enterprise Editor
Monday April 01 2019, 12.01am, The Times
Some small business owners said they had been told the government had settled their loans
Royal Bank of Scotland is under fire for pursuing the owners of small and medium-sized companies for debts linked with a government loan scheme that it has admitted abusing.
The all-party parliamentary group on fair business banking said that it would write to the Treasury to express its concerns about how the bank is treating small business owners who used the Enterprise Finance Guarantee, a taxpayer-backed lending scheme.
Several small business owners told The Times they feared bankruptcy after RBS ordered repayment of debts they claim they did not know they were personally liable for and which, in some cases, the government has settled.
RBS insisted that it was following normal commercial recovery processes and that it was seeking full repayment only in cases where

Q: How to return Two Separate Array in PickerView in Swift I have created a PickerView in a SegmentControl, I am having two separate array FirstArray has StringData, Second Array has NSNumber data. I need to return both the array in order to return as StringDataand Number in same row.
For Example: First Array has : Ark,silk,temp etc, Second Array has 23,45,56 etc.
If I return the first Array alone in PickerView it was returning String value, but I need both array to be displayed.I am done with displaying one array in picker view but don't know how to return two arrays.
Code:
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {

   if (pickerView == EventsPickerView) {

   // case EventsPickerView:
        return EventArray.count

   }else {

    switch FabricSegmentControl.selectedSegmentIndex {

    case 0:

        return globalConstants.ClassificationName.count
          //  return globalConstants.ClassificationName.count + globalConstants.ClassificationCount.count

    case 1:

        return globalConstants.ClassificationNameSecond.count

    default:
        return 1
    }
}
  //  return 1
}

 func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String? {

 if  (pickerView == EventsPickerView){

   // case EventsPickerView:
        return EventArray[row]

 }else {

    switch FabricSegmentControl.selectedSegmentIndex {

    case 0:

        return globalConstants.ClassificationName[row] as? String

    case 1:

        return globalConstants.ClassificationNameSecond[row] as? String

    default:
        return "error occured"
    }

}

   // return "error occured"

}

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {

    if (pickerView == EventsPickerView){

        eventTextField.text = EventArray[row]
    }else {

        switch FabricSegmentControl.selectedSegmentIndex {

        case 0:

                TypeOfSilkTextField.text = globalConstants.ClassificationName[row] as? String

        case 1:

              TypeOfSilkTextField.text = globalConstants.ClassificationNameSecond[row] as? String

        default:
            break
        }
    }

These are my array Names
First Array :globalConstants.ClassificationName.count
SecondArray name :globalConstants.ClassificationCount.count

A: You are returing NSNumber as String. That's why a nil value is returning.
Try converting NSNumber into String.

A: As the 2 arrays are equal so return one of them here
return globalConstants.ClassificationName.count

//
In titleForRow
 return globalConstants.ClassificationName[row] as? String ?? "" + ( globalConstants.ClassificationCount[row] as? String ?? "" )

//
In  didSelectRow
TypeOfSilkTextField.text = globalConstants.ClassificationName[row] as? String ?? ""  + ( globalConstants.ClassificationCount[row] as? String ?? "" )

but it's better creating a struct to hold them as one unit
//
What makes sense to declare it like
 static let ClassificationName = ["value","value2"]

which will be inferred to array of strings [String]--- to return ClassificationName[row]
and
 static let ClassificationCount = [25,26]

which will be inferred to array of ints [Int]--- to return "\(ClassificationCount[row])"
Or be
 static let ClassificationCount = ["25","26"]

which will be inferred to array of Strings [String]--- to return ClassificationCount[row]

Second Circuit Holds Denial of Tower Application Was An Effective Prohibition of Wireless Services in Violation of the TCA
Plaintiffs-appellees Orange County, County Poughkeepsie Limited Partnership, d/b/a Verizon Wireless, and Homeland Towers, LLC, sought to build a wireless communications tower in the Town of East Fishkill. Defendants-appellants, Town of East Fishkill and the Town of East Fishkill Zoning Board of Appeals ("ZBA"), denied plaintiffs' request for a special permit, a 40–foot variance, and a wetlands/ watercourse disturbance permit. Plaintiffs brought claims under the Telecommunications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B) ( "TCA"), claiming the Town's denial was an effective prohibition of wireless services and unsupported by substantial evidence. The district court granted summary judgment for the plaintiffs.
On appeal, the Court first noted that the TCA's "ban on prohibiting personal wireless services precludes denying an application for a facility that is the least intrusive means for closing a significant gap in a remote user's ability to reach a cell site that provides access to land-lines." In determining whether a significant gap exists, courts consider the gap's physical size, the number of wireless users affected, the location of the gap, and drop call or failure rates. Here, the Town's conclusion that any coverage gap was de minimis was contradicted by the plaintiffs' uncontested radio frequency analyses, propagation maps, and drive test data demonstrating a significant coverage gap in the area: specifically, two coverage gaps of 2 miles on the Taconic State Parkway and 1.6 miles on Route 82. It was also undisputed that the gaps affect roughly 35,000 commuters a day. Finally, plaintiffs investigated thirteen single-site and two multisite alternatives and determined that none would adequately remedy the gap. Thus, no alternative sites or preexisting structures could have supported a facility to remedy the coverage gaps. The Court therefore held that the district court properly granted summary judgment to Plaintiffs that the Town's denial of their application was an effective prohibition of wireless services in violation of the TCA.
The case was Orange Cty.--Cty. Poughkeepsie Ltd. P'ship v. Town of E. Fishkill, 632 F. App'x 1 (2d Cir. 2015).

Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Chinese Supply Chains
Tuesday Nov 4, 2014
For manufacturing companies, the supply chain typically accounts for 70 to 80 percent of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. Much of these emissions are found in China, which contributes to approximately a quarter of global emissions annually, as well as the majority of emissions from products for export. For these reasons, many companies that are serious about addressing climate change are seeking to manage supply chain emissions, with a focus on this region.
But they face obstacles, many of which are common among emerging markets: Suppliers' ability and readiness to manage emissions vary widely, making it hard to rely on a standard approach with all suppliers. In addition, policy incentives are not sufficient to encourage factories to upgrade inefficient equipment and systems. And climate change often takes a back seat to other, more visible supply chain agendas, including labor conditions, worker safety and fires, and toxic spills.
Over the years, BSR has led a series of initiatives to reduce supply chain emissions, working with brands and their suppliers to use BSR's local networks in China.
In 2008, we launched this work in a project with Walmart and the Environmental Defense Fund: To help Walmart meet its corporate commitment to reduce the emissions of 200 Chinese factories, we led outreach to suppliers and determined individual energy profiles and trends. Through this initiative, BSR identified four key priorities for suppliers to address energy challenges: preliminary diagnostic evaluation, management and technical training, on-site energy audit and opportunity assessments, and development of action plans.
Reflecting on lessons learned, we developed the Energy Efficiency Partnership (EEP), a coalition of 10 companies working with 100 suppliers in South China to coach and share information on energy efficiency. Through our work together, one significant partner, HP, has developed energy-management action plans for 20 factories. We helped HP identify current opportunities for motivating energy efficiency while segmenting and targeting suppliers for different kinds of interventions—with some focused on making the business case, and others focused on providing detailed energy audits. We complemented this by interviewing HP suppliers' managerial and technical staff to understand how to address individual challenges.
Through this work, companies like HP have gained a greater understanding of where and how they can drive greenhouse gas reduction in factories by gaining support from suppliers' senior management and by understanding the barriers suppliers face.
Following our initiative, which catalyzed more than 100 new energy-efficiency projects, HP became one of the first companies in the world to announce a greenhouse gas reduction goal for supply chain, where it committed to driving a 20 percent decrease in its first-tier manufacturing and product-transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions intensity between 2010 and 2020.
This work also has contributed to our broader Business in a Climate-Constrained World initiative by developing a significant body of knowledge about how to harness supply chains in China and other emerging markets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change.
Companies can—and should—have goals for greenhouse gas management in their supply chains. To do this in a way that is effective and manageable, companies should:
Understand suppliers' level of ambition and assumptions about the business case for investing in energy efficiency.
Be judicious in asking for data requests in an era of survey fatigue by focusing on information that is actionable.
Help suppliers improve their ability to manage greenhouse gas emissions by providing expertise and technical resources to suppliers and sharing in investments for energy efficiency.

With all the heavy dishes that accompany cold weather and seasonal holiday meals, I think we can all get behind a light salad every now and again. Winter kale salad with apples, goat cheese and spiced pecans tossed in apple cider vinaigrette can be on your table from start to finish in 10 minutes. Take that, lazy weekend dinner!
AND this recipe is versatile. Basically, you can think of this recipe as a guideline: 1 bunch of your favourite leafy green + 1 crisp fruit + your favourite cheese + crunchy nuts.
Leafy green: You can use whichever type of kale you like best. I usually go for Lacinto kale (also known as Tuscan kale), but this week, I could only get my hands on curly kale. What if you are not a fan of kale? Easily switch it out for your favourite leafy green. I would recommend swiss chard, collard greens, and mustard greens, which work better in this recipe than spinach or arugula.
Crisp fruit: You can substitute the apple with pear.
Cheese: I grabbed tangy and sweet goat cheese to balance the flavor of the spicy pecans. For an alternative, try blue cheese.
Crunchy nuts: You could also use regular toasted pecans and call it a day!
You can also add some protein to this winter kale salad. Store-bought rotisserie chicken (my go-to on a long day when I don't have time to cook multiple elements in a meal) is the perfect accompaniment! So, so good.
Can we also take a minute to talk about the most appropriate seasonal dressing ever?! Apple cider vinaigrette is what all your salads need from now until spring. Double the recipe and save half in the fridge for the following week!
Have you tried spiced pecans before? They add a really delicious zing to salads, cheese trays, and are even perfect for snacking on solo. I will definitely be leaving a bowl of these out for my guests before our holiday meal. Can't get your hands on spiced pecans at your local grocery store? No problem! Just make your own with a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps.
Lightly toast pecans in a non-stick skillet.
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
In a medium bowl, add pecans and 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium bowl. Toss to coat. Add spice mixture and toss again until fully coated.
Cozy winter kale salad with apple cider vinaigrette is easy to make with crispy apples, tangy goat cheese and crunchy spiced pecans in under 10 minutes!
In a small bowl, make the apple cider vinaigrette by whisking together vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil and whisk to combine.
Place kale in a large bowl and pour dressing over top. Toss to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Add apples, goat cheese, and spiced pecans. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
If you can't find spiced pecans, you can use plain toasted pecans (or whichever type of nut you have on hand) or make your own. See above in blog post for instructions!
Cans you use another type of cheese??
Yup! Use any cheese you like!
This is such a gorgeous salad that is perfect for fall. I love the idea of making it an appetizer for Thanksgiving. Can't wait to try it!
looks so fresh and yummy! and your photos are so clean and beautiful.


So on Wendsday my bestest not-sister friend cam over for the day. It was a blast! We went on a hike through our woods and then hung out in Joseph's barn. Then we came back to our playhouse and ate huckleberry pie that she made and vanilla ice cream. It was AMAZING! I'll post a link to her recipe as soon she get her blog up.
So without farther ado, here are a few random facts about her.
Darcy's favorite color is pistachio, which always makes me hungry.
She is the only child in her family and was sort of adopted into our family.
She's a really good cook. Like amazing.
She's good at anything she tries, but doesn't usually stick to one hobby for very long.
Darcy loves dogs, goats, cats and once had a blue tailed salamander that laid eggs!
So there are a few random facts on my best friend Darcy! And yes. She knows her name is actually a boy's name but she doesn't mind. In 100,000 Baby Names by Bruce Lansky it says that's Darcy can be a boy's or a girl's name.
So what about you guys? What are your best friends like?
Wow, I could never draw that well! Great to hear about Darcy!


Welcome to Part 1 of this blog featuring last nights visit to a special book event that took place at Waterstone's Piccadilly.
I've been a big fan of Paige Toon since the release of her first book Lucy in the Sky back in 2007.
After reading her latest Hidden Paige email which if you haven't signed up for yet it's completely worth it for the surprises and inside info that arrives in your inbox.
I had to resist reading the first few chapters of the new book as I knew I'd be counting down to the book arriving and when it comes to new books especially from Paige I'm not patient at all.
It was a great evening listening to readings from each of the amazing authors and hearing about their experiences and what has influenced their books. I have to say my book list may or may not have doubled after the event as I really want to read all their books now.
I am also very happy and also very excited to have an advanced copy of Paige's new book The Last Piece of my Heart now and will be reviewing it with a blog to follow after the release date next week so make sure you check back for that.
I'm now heading back to carry on with Paige's new book. This was one day I didn't mind traffic on the way to work to start reading it. So far I haven't wanted to put it down.


First organized in 1922, Navy Day was established to honor the men and women in the Navy and falls on October 27 each year. That date was selected because it was the birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was a big supporter of the Navy.
In honor of the day, we take a look back at some of the great student-athletes who attended the Naval Academy.
The former Navy quarterback, who is currently a wide receiver on the Baltimore Ravens practice squad, made quite an impact during last year's college football season. The Antioch, Tennessee, native finished his collegiate career as the FBS leader in total touchdowns (88), rushing yards by a quarterback (4,559) and points scored (530). Reynolds finished fifth in the 2015 Heisman Trophy voting. He was selected by Baltimore in the sixth round (182nd overall) in the 2016 draft.
The 7-foot-1 center is a 10-time NBA All-Star, two-time NBA champion and a two-time Olympic gold medalist (1992, 1996). Robinson attended the Naval Academy from 1983-1987, playing under head coach Paul Evans. In 1986, he helped No. 7-seeded Navy reach the East Regional final of the NCAA tournament, where the Midshipmen fell to Duke, just missing a Final Four appearance. He was selected by the San Antonio Spurs as the first overall pick in the 1987 NBA draft, but he didn't play with the team until 1989 in order to fulfill his time of duty with the Navy. Robinson was inducted to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in 2009.
The former NFL quarterback played for the Midshipmen from 1962-1964. He also played on the baseball team in 1965. In 1963, Staubach won the Heisman Trophy and that season led Navy to the national championship, where they lost to top-ranked Texas at the Cotton Bowl. Staubach was the last person from a military academy to win the Heisman. He was drafted in 1964 by the Dallas Cowboys, who he would play for from 1969-1979.
Myers was a standout player in the Navy women's basketball program. She was honored as the Patriot League's Defensive Player of the Year in both 2009 and 2010, making her the first Mid to win the award and the first repeat winner of the accolade in the league. In addition, she earned first-team All-Patriot League honors in 2010.
Prior to a five-year career in the NFL, McConkey was a wide receiver for Navy, helping the Midshipmen to a 9-3 record during his senior season in 1978. McConkey played for the New York Giants, Green Bay Packers and San Diego Chargers. He was named the MVP of the inaugural Holiday Bowl in his last game with Navy.
Bellino played for Navy and won the Heisman Trophy in 1960. In his senior year, he rushed for 834 yards and caught 15 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns. He also played baseball for the Midshipmen. Bellino was drafted in 1961 in both the AFL and NFL draft and was inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1977.
McCallum was a running back for the Navy and played six seasons in the NFL with the then-Los Angeles Raiders.With the Midshipmen, he set an NCAA record for all-purpose yards at the time with 7,172. McCallum was inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. He has an award named after him given to the player with the most all-purpose yards, which is awarded annually at the Navy's annual football banquet. Last year, Reynolds was honored with the award.
Dowling's No. 32 jersey was officially retired by the Naval Academy, making her the first women's basketball player to have her number retired. She helped kickstart the first era of successful Navy women's basketball teams in the Patriot League. She was the Patriot League Rookie of the Year and received second-team all-conference honors in 1995, before receiving first-team all-league honors in both 1997 and '98. She concluded her Navy playing career ranked among the top 10 school leaders in 14 career statistical categories.
DePompeo was very successful during her time with the Navy women's lacrosse team. In 2013, she set a Patriot League single-season record with 65 assists, along with earning the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year.


Is there a place that you can "jump" to right now? An area to which you, or a team that you manage, can take a leap forward? Opportunities to jump are always in front of you. Sometimes you see them and sometimes you do not. When you see an opportunity, summon your courage, prepare and jump! You won't regret it.
You are meant to be in action and that goes for your career as well. Not much gets done when you are at a standstill. Look around you, where do you see an opportunity to jump?

Samsung S8 locked after Software update performed can my files be recovered?
Recently received a Samsung software update reuest msg for my Samsung S8. After update was completed, received Security Msg that my phone is locked due to unauthorized software. This is troublesome. I had received a similar update request msg a few months ago, I followed the same procedure and no problem or issue. have contacted Samsung (Customer Service and Customer Service Management) about this issue and they claim they have not heard of a situation of this type and suggest resetting my phone. I will lose the files that remain on my phone! Is there a way to retrieve my files that are still on the internal drive?
Does a computer (adb) recognize the phone? If so, you can adb pull any files you want.
If not, this is one reason I always do a full (system + data) backup before updating. The phone is backed up anyway, but I always do another one before doing anything that might cause the phone to need a reflash.


Saying thank you is always a good idea.
I will let you know a little secret...I am pretty lame at writing thank you cards. I really want to get better. I want to make a better effort. I also want to teach those Little Men of mine to learn the gentlemanly art of writing thank you notes...you know Mr. Darcy like.
After all, we could use more Mr. Darcys in the world. Since I have four future Mr. Darcys I figure I should start working on it now.
Plus with it being Thanksgiving and all, I figured it would be an even better time to write out thank you notes.
I wanted to make some Thanksgiving color themed thank you cards.
I went over to PicMonkey and played around and made a couple of of cards.
I wanted the backs to be just as cute as the fronts.
I can't decided which card is my favorite. I do love the back of this one.
I printed off the cards and cut them out. Then I sat my boys down and talked about who we were thankful for and why we were thankful for them.
Then we wrote out notes.
Sometimes the thank you was a simple little drawing.
I have put all the cards into a pdf and made them available to download.
Download and then print off the cards onto cardstock. Then cut out the cards, trimming the edges to about 4 1/2" by 7". Fold in half. Stack up. Get some matching envelopes (I couldn't find any in the right size, but I had to have this color).
Now you have a stack of cards. I also think this could be cute to set at each dinner plate on Thanksgiving day. Everyone could write a note of thanks before they eat some delightful turkey and stuffing.
Those are super cute! I love the hymn on the back!!

Old Spice's new internet ad continues their new age tradition of ultimate weirdness and presents an innovative new approach to being a one man band.
BONUS: if you play this through their vimeo page, you'll get to 'play' Terry as well with your keyboard.
In my job where using stock photos is necessary (and at times frustrating), it's refreshing to see this very creative approach in combining 873 images at 15 images a second to create this 1 minute long stop motion short.
Copywriter Sophie Schoenburg and art director Marcus Kotlhar worked 6 months researching images, improving the script and building each scene so they would not only be understood, but would also touch viewers. Sometimes, for example, a scene would look perfect on paper, but the images chosen to depict it were not sufficient or did not perfectly match up to offer the right movement and sense.

On the cusp of 4/20, Flatbush Zombies team up with the worldwide-renowned marijuana connoisseur Snoop Dogg for "Still Palm Trees (G-Mix)." This ode to Mary Jane takes the low key vibe of the original and kicks it up a notch, with heavier drums, new verses and a dope elegy from Uncle Snoop. The Flatbush collective shines with their eclectic array of voices and diverse flows, and the remix should prove a pleasant surprise for fans seeking to blaze to some new Flatbush. In a hilarious touch, the track was released at 4/20 and features a run-time of 4:20, taking the marijuana love to a new level.

Voice, treaty, truth: The game's proud stance on Indigenous issues
Brad Walter NRL.com Senior Reporter
An Under 15s Indigenous side last week adopted the Unity Dance performed by the All Stars team before their final at the Australian Secondary Schools National Championships in Redcliffe.
It was the first time an Indigenous team has been invited to play at the tournament and also the first time another representative side has performed the Unity Dance developed by leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island players in 2015.
Both are examples of how the game leads the way in Indigenous issues and has embraced the theme of NAIDOC Week – VOICE. TREATY. TRUTH.
"Listening to those young guys talk after the game about what the Unity Dance meant to them and from the sheer joy on their faces of being part of something that no one else has done, that will be life-changing for them," NRL senior manager Indigenous strategy Mark Deweerd said.
With 12 per cent of NRL players and 19 per cent of those playing at grassroots level identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders, rugby league has a strong influence in Indigenous communities and is proud of the role the game plays.
The All Stars concept was introduced in 2010 to give Indigenous players the opportunity to represent their culture, Indigenous player camps are held at the start of each season and all 16 NRL clubs design a special jersey to celebrate Indigenous Round.
Off the field, the NRL was the first national sporting organisation to implement a Reconciliation Action Plan in 2008 and last year became the first to develop a RAP at Elevated level.
Significantly, the NRL recently joined 13 other leading organisations to support the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for the establishment of a First Nations voice in the constitution and a Makarrata Commission on agreement-making and truth-telling between Indigenous people and governments.
Leading figures in the game, from ARLC chairman Peter Beattie and commissioners Megan Davis and Wayne Pearce to Indigenous All Stars captains Cody Walker and Tallisha Harden and former players Preston Campbell and Laurie Daley, this week reaffirmed rugby league's backing in a video.
"We have got senior people in the game standing up and saying Aboriginal people deserve a voice and deserve to be heard," Deweerd said.
"You also have influential people in society, such as Stan Grant, who supports what we are doing and is in the video. Hopefully, we can help bring around change, fast-track referendums and make a difference for our community."
Indigenous Invitational verses Victoria in the John Allen Final.
Posted by Australian Schoolboys Rugby League on Thursday, July 4, 2019
More than 50 of the NRL's staff identify as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Island heritage.
Davis - a Cobble-Cobble woman and one of the driving forces behind the Uluru Statement – is one of eight Commissioners and the game has an Indigenous Council and Indigenous Players Advisory Group.
Many of the NRL's biggest stars are Indigenous and the rival captains in the 2015 grand final, North Queensland's Johnathan Thurston and Brisbane's Justin Hodges, were both Indigenous.
"Our Indigenous communities live for rugby league, particularly in NSW and Queensland, so wherever we can use our voice to support such a large part of our rugby league family we have got to do that," Deweerd said.
"The game helps young men to understand what they stand for and provides them with the leadership skills to stand up and be counted, to be heard and to understand that their voice is important but to use that wisely and in a way the benefits our communities and brings about change."
It is widely accepted that Indigenous players and communities are an important part of the game.
Rugby league was the first football code to select an Aboriginal player in an Australian team when Lionel Morgan played for the Kangaroos in 1960 – seven years before Aboriginals were declared citizens.
Arthur Beetson's appointment as Australian captain in 1973 was also two years before the Federal Parliament outlawed racial discrimination. Greg Inglis was last year announced as Cameron Smith's successor as Kangaroos captain for the end of season Tests but did not play.
"As a game, we don't get to sit on the fence," Deweerd said. "You have to make a call whether you stand for something or you don't.
"We have got really strong leadership with people like Peter Beattie and [NRL CEO] Todd Greenberg, who have done so much in terms of providing opportunities for our communities and our players."
The game's Indigenous stars helped educate many about why the lyrics of Advance Australia Fair are offensive to most people of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Island heritage by refusing to sing the national anthem before State of Origin.
The NRL has previously highlighted the issue by organising for the anthem to be sung in the language of the local Indigenous tribe and during the 2017 Indigenous Round an alternative anthem, written by Judith Durham, was performed.
"So many times we have stood up for the rights of Aboriginal people when no one else has or others have been afraid to and just called things out," Deweerd said.
"The game supported the RECGONISE campaign when no one else was and has been the first to sign up to RAPs."
The Uluru Statement
On the 50th anniversary of the referendum enabling Aboriginals to be counted among Australia's population, a gathering of 250 Indigenous leaders endorsed the Uluru Statement with a standing ovation.
The Uluru Statement seeks:
Constitutional reforms to empower our people and take a rightful place in our own country.
The establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution.
A Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of agreement-making between governments and First Nations and truth-telling about our history.
Davis, a constitutional lawyer, was heavily involved in the work that led to the Uluru Statement and gave its first public reading.
"It is something that the community has been calling for since 1938 when Aboriginal people stood up and said we deserve a voice in parliament, we deserve a treaty," Deweerd said.
"For me, it's another step in the game's journey to bring about social change and a better society for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders by saying we support and believe in what you are asking for."

India Solar Rooftop Market Set to Grow at 60% Till 2021: Says TechSci Research
Increasing number of government initiatives coupled with favorable policy environment to boost solar rooftop market in India through 2021.
New York, NY, August 29, 2016 --(PR.com)-- According to a recently published TechSci Research report "India Solar Rooftop Market By State, By Connectivity, By End User, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2011 – 2021," the solar rooftop market in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 60% during 2016 – 2021, predominantly on account of rising government focus on increasing the share of solar power in the country's energy mix. As per the Census of India 2011 and Wasteland Atlas of India 2011, the total solar power capacity in the country stood at 748 GW, which is more than twice the country's total installed power capacity. In 2015, Government of India had set a target of 100 GW of solar power generation in the country by 2022, which is five times more than the target set in 2009.

In India, the solar rooftop market is still in its nascent phase, and the market is expected to grow at a robust pace over the next five years backed by favorable government measures and abundant solar resources. In order to boost solar power generation in the country, the Government of India has announced various policies and regulations such as Accelerated Depreciation, Capital Subsidies, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), Net Metering Incentives, Assured Power Purchase Agreement, etc. These schemes have been introduced by the government to reduce the capital expenditure in building a solar power plant, and subsidize solar power generation in order to make it economically viable for the stakeholders involved in the solar power business.
"In India, the total solar power generation capacity increased from around 160 MW in 2010 to more than 6,700 MW in 2016 owing to favorable government initiatives coupled with development in manufacturing technology of solar panels. Improving manufacturing technology has led to a reduction in the cost of solar panels which has resulted in a reduction in the cost of solar power generation. With the declining cost of solar power and increasingly favorable government policies, the solar power industry is expected to witness bright days ahead," said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.

So, the name of the wave comes from the source of it's energy - in this case gravity. Not, as I thought before, the medium in which the wave exists...... Is this correct?

Neil Robertson: 2010 world champion says cue tip problems affected him
By Owen Phillips
BBC Sport at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
From the section Snooker
http://www.bbc.com/sport/snooker/43901299
Neil Robertson has gone out in the first round four times since winning the World Championship in 2010
Venue: Crucible Theatre, Sheffield Dates: 21 April - 7 May
Coverage: Watch live across BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Red Button, Connected TV, the BBC Sport website and mobile app.
Neil Robertson praised opponent Robert Milkins following his defeat in the first round of the World Championship, but said having to replace his cue tip cost him the chance of victory.
The world number 10 lost 10-5 at the Crucible and was uncharacteristically wayward with his potting.
Robertson said he had "tip problems" coming into the match and had to replace it on Wednesday morning.
"I'm not making excuses, it's just the facts," the Australian said.
"I made mistakes which usually would be impossible to make."
It is the second time that Cambridge-based Robertson has suffered a first-round defeat at the hands of 42-year-old Gloucester potter Milkins following a defeat in 2013.
Latest scores, schedule and results
And despite his cue issues, the 2010 champion was quick to praise his opponent, ranked 37 in the world.
"I thought I did pretty well to keep it at 6-3 in the first session," Robertson, 36, added.
"Rob played so well that he never allowed me to recover from that. I've got to give him credit for how well he played. He was relentless throughout.
"I had a slight sniff at 6-5 but he rattled off the last four frames amazingly well and he really deserved the win."
Robertson becomes the sixth seed and fifth former Crucible champion to bow out of this year's event.

Here Are the NFL's 5 Most Energy-Efficient Stadiums
The NFL playoffs are rolling right along, with all the electrifying plays and nail-biting endings you've all come to expect and love (sorry Chiefs fans). So with that in mind, and the energy palpable for more playoff football, it seems like an ideal time to take a look at how our favorite football teams are advancing energy efficiency.
So without further adieu, here are the 5 stadiums doing the most to save energy. Did yours make the cut?
1. METLIFE STADIUM: NEW YORK GIANTS AND NEW YORK JETS
Photo: MetLife Stadium Fireworks. Credit: MetLife Stadium.
MetLife Stadium, home to both the New York Giants and the New York Jets, was built in 2010 with an eye on becoming a green stadium. As a first step, the MetLife Stadium Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOA) with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pledging to become an environmental steward and implement carbon footprint reducing initiatives. While MetLife Stadium is more than twice the size as the original Giants Stadium in terms of square footage, there has been a reduction of energy use of around 30%, due to initiatives such as:
Water efficient plumbing which reduces MetLife Stadium's annual water demand by 25% compared to Giants Stadium;
An automated lighting control system which helps minimize energy consumption; and,
Energy efficient Low E coating of windows which reduces heat gain by 24% compared to Giants Stadium.
2. LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Since the facility opened in 2003, Lincoln Financial Field has made it a top priority to reduce its environmental footprint. With all its energy conservation programs, Lincoln Financial Field has reduced its electricity consumption by 33%. Additionally, the Eagles are in the process of installing over 2,000 solar panels, 80 wind turbines and a generator that runs on natural gas and biodiesel to make Lincoln Financial Field the first professional stadium in the United States to be energy self-sufficient. Some interesting stats include:
Increased monitoring and management decreased energy usage by 21% from 2009 to 2010;
100% of team operations are powered by purchased wind power, augmented by solar power generated at Lincoln Financial Field.
3. CENTURYLINK FIELD: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

CenturyLink Field, home to the Seattle Seahawks, is one of the most energy- efficient stadiums in the nation due to its policies, programs, and initiatives to reduce energy. This has not only helped the environment, but has also helped Century Field's bottom line as its upgrades have reduced its annual utility costs by 21%. CenturyLink Field's energy efficiency initiatives include:
Point-of-use lighting controls in concession stands, restrooms and storage spaces have cut energy usage throughout the facility;
Low-flow water fixtures save 1.3 million gallons of water annually; and,
Immediate access to the train, subway and bus terminal encourages use of public transportation. For those driving, CenturyLink offers six electric vehicle charging stations.
4. SOLDIER FIELD: CHICAGO BEARS

While the Chicago Bears' Soldier Field is the nation's oldest NFL stadium, it is quite energy-efficient. In fact, Soldier Field is the only NFL stadium to receive the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification following its 2003 renovation, which included:
Free charging stations in its parking lots encourage the use of electric vehicles; and,
LED lights which replaced the field's traditional lighting.
5. GEORGIA DOME: ATLANTA FALCONS

The Georgia Dome, which is home to the Atlanta Falcons, made several energy efficiency upgrades as part of a 2009 renovation. In addition to the physical renovations that have taken place over the years, the Georgia World Congress Center Authority has a goal to educate its staff about sustainability practices. Employees participate in workshops called "Growing Green" to ensure that these practices are adopted at the Georgia Dome.
Renovations that made the Georgia Dome more efficient include:
An automated control system that regulates the entire dome's HVAC system;
Energy-efficient florescent and metal halide lighting; and,
Low-flow toilets and urinals to help reduce water consumption.


This novel is told from the perspectives of Vuto, Samantha and two other Peace Corps volunteers.
Mentioned several times throughout the novel, Samantha's parents are gay male life partners who adopted Sam when she was a baby. She credits some of her idealism from being raised in an open-minded, liberal, LGBT-headed family.
This indie published book was funded by the author's successful kickstarter campaign. A.J. has also written about being bisexual and in the Peace Corps in Malawi at the Huffington Post. Add your review of "Vuto" in comments!

Lexit undermines the Left – it will be no prize for Labour / Long read: how EU membership undermines the left
Ramsay, Peter, Verovšek, Peter J.
Journal | Series | Blog
Brexit had been very divisive for the Left in Britain. While some socialist intellectuals claimed that it was a prize within reach for the Labour movement, it remained largely a neo-colonial project of a 'Global Britain', wrote Peter J. Verovšek. He argued that the case for Lexit ignores the right-wing roots of the EU referendum, and that it would be no prize for Labour.
See also an article written in response Long read: how EU membership undermines the left:
In a recent contribution to LSE Brexit, Peter J Verovsek criticised left-wing supporters of Brexit, claiming that they were backing a 'statist, nationalist initiative' that could only benefit the right. Peter Ramsay (LSE) replied, arguing that it was left-wing Remainers who were stuck in the past and that a fetishism of the supranational and the cosmopolitan was the real problem for the left.

Eifel GP: Preview - Red Bull
F1 returns to the Nurburgring! How are you feeling heading into the weekend?
Max Verstappen: I'm feeling good heading into the weekend, I feel very relaxed and I'm looking forward to driving a track that we haven't been to in Formula One, at least for me anyway. It's exciting to go to the unknown, similar to Mugello.
Are you a fan of the track and could the weather mix things up this weekend?
MV: I haven't raced at the Nurburgring since Formula 3 so I'm excited to go back there to see what a Formula One car can do. It's a very technical track, I like it. The weather looks like it's going to be a lot colder than the races we've had so far this year, and there may be a little bit of rain so hopefully that will make it an even more interesting race weekend.
Honda announced they're leaving the sport at the end of next season. Does that change anything heading to the next round?
MV: It is of course a shame that Honda are leaving Formula One, especially as we have such a good relationship and we really see the dedication of the people involved in the project which has always been very important for me. In terms of what that means at the moment and what we are focused on then nothing has changed. We still have the rest of this season and next season to focus on together and we are still trying to be on the podium every single race, that's a good target for us. Making sure that we maximise all the results that we can all the time.
What have you been up to in the week off between races? We saw you went karting at the weekend.
Alex Albon: I haven't done much with the time off as the weather hasn't been great in the UK. I've just stayed at home, relaxing and hanging out with my family, but I did go karting on Saturday. It was a lot of fun racing in the wet on slick tyres in rental karts!
The Eifel Grand Prix sees F1 return to the Nurburgring. Is this a track you enjoy?
AA: The Nurburgring is a really cool track and I raced there in Formula Renault and F3. It's got its own unique character with some really cool, high speed cambered corners which are always fun for a driver. I think it's going to be very quick this year but the weather will also be bad so I will be surprised if it's dry at all. I think we should expect some really cold wet weather running so it will be important to get the laps in when we can. It's going to be an interesting weekend and we'll have to get the waterproofs out!
What are your thoughts following Honda's announcement they'll leave the sport at the end of 2021?
AA: It's sad that Honda are leaving the sport as I've really enjoyed working with them, they're a great bunch of people. From my side, it doesn't change anything heading into the race weekend. As a driver, we're focused on the job in hand and making sure we finish our partnership with Honda as strong as we possibly can.

Q: C# datatype double not printing what I would expect C# datatype double not printing what I would expect
 namespace test
 {
     class SampleProgram
     {
         static void Main(string[ ] args)
         {
            int i = 10;
            double d = 34.340;
            fun(i);
            fun(d);
         }

         static void fun(double d)
         {
            Console.WriteLine(d + " ");
         }
    }
}

Why doe this produce 10 34.34 instead of 10 34.340 ?

A: To the computer a double with a value of 34.34, 34.340, 34.3400 are all equivalent and represented the same in memory.
What you are running into is the standard problem of the way the runtime gives data back is different than what to display to the user.  The way to handle this is to leverage one of the many formatting tools provided by .Net.
You could use the ToString method on the double data type with a custom format string:
double value = 34.34;
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("0.000"));   // 34.340

You could also use custom format string in String.Format:
double value = 34.34;
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("The value is {0:0.000}", value));

A: you have to apply a custom format to your double value, see string format options and example here

e.g. number.ToString("G", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
