The Anatomy of a Ottoneu Dynasty Rebuild: Part 1
by Jake Mailhot
The process. Taking a step back. Tanking. However you put it, nearly every team in Major League Baseball has been faced with the decision to rebuild at some point in the recent past. Sometimes it's a quick retool lasting a year or two or maybe it's a full tear-down with a multi-year cycle before sniffing the playoffs again. Dynasty fantasy baseball — and Ottoneu in particular — is no different, where the decision to build for the future is one of the core experiences of the format.
When Ottoneu was established, it was designed to try and emulate the job of an MLB general manager as closely as possible within the confines of a fantasy baseball setting. That meant deep rosters, access to the full minor leagues, and the ability to truly build for the future. I've played fantasy baseball for over 20 years and have been playing Ottoneu since 2011 when it was first established. It's my favorite format I've played in all those years, and luckily, I've managed to avoid a major rebuild in any of my leagues until now.
My very first Ottoneu team was in League 32 – Fantasy Field of Dreams and I've held onto this team ever since. I've finished as high as second in this league and never lower than sixth until 2021. The prospect of rebuilding was never really all that appealing to me. I preferred to draft and wheel and deal my way into contention every year even if that "always compete" strategy never resulted in any championships. I thought it was more fun to try and push for that top-three finish than to "waste" a year (or years) rebuilding. Unfortunately, without a strong foundation to stay competitive every year, the tank has finally caught up with me.
I thought it would be helpful and instructive to walk through this rebuild to impart any lessons I learn to you, dear reader. My hope is that a guide to rebuilding in Ottoneu should be different enough thanks to the quirks and nuances of the unique format while still having some value for those of you who don't play Ottoneu. Perhaps it'll make your decision to start rebuilding a little easier or help you along the way if you're already knee-deep in your own step-back cycle.
I finished the 2021 season in seventh place and foolishly tried to run it back again last year. There were tons of holes on my roster but I thought I had enough pieces to be competitive with a good draft. It didn't work. I quickly fell into last place once the season started as injuries and poor talent evaluation both dragged my team to the bottom. By May, the writing was on the wall — this team stunk and I'd need to do a lot of work to turn it around.
And that's one of the first lessons I should have learned: you need to be brutally honest with your position. From 2017–'19, I finished in sixth place for three straight seasons. That should have been a huge warning sign that my strategy of trying to compete every season wasn't working. Those teams had some nice pieces like MVP-era Christian Yelich, Coors-era DJ LeMahieu, Whit Merrifield, and J.T. Realmuto. What they didn't have was any sort of keepable pitching what-so-ever. That should have been evident in the final points-per-game (P/G) and -per-innings-pitched (P/IP) each season but I (arrogantly) thought I could overcome that hindrance.
League 32 Points, 2017–19
2017 16399.9 (6th) 5.17 (10th) 4.34 (10th)
2018 16772.4 (6th) 5.33 (4th) 4.81 (9th)
2019 18145.2 (6th) 5.91 (3rd) 4.71 (6th)
To be fair, I did a pretty good job of building a competitive offense (thanks to the juiced baseball!) but I just couldn't figure out an answer for my pitching staff. It regularly sat in the bottom half of the league by points-per-innings-pitched and was the downfall of those offensive powerhouses in 2018 and '19. A more honest evaluation and reflection after each of those years could have resulted in a decision to start rebuilding a lot sooner.
Evaluate Your Roster and Develop a Plan
These next two steps really go hand-in-hand. Once you've decided to start rebuilding, laying out a rough roadmap towards contention is your next step. A rebuild without an exit strategy hews too close to how the Marlins approach each season in the big leagues. It's too easy to push the goalposts back each year if you're not making progress so having a concrete plan in place helps you break out of that cycle.
You can't really build that timeline until you've evaluated your roster and figured out who is coming along for the ride and who is dead weight. Rebuilding teams aren't just deciding to keep players for next year, they have to take into account their timeline back to contention. Because of salary inflation and arbitration, the players you keep today will be that much more expensive down the road. If you're looking at a quick one- or two-year retool, keeping a player with $1–$5 of surplus value makes a little more sense than if you're looking to rebuild for multiple years. Those borderline keepers should turn into easy cuts if their salary in a few years prices them out of your roster.
Players with tons of surplus value — $10 or more — make sense as long-term keepers because they're the players that will be contributing on your next competitive roster down the road. These are your centerpieces to your team — usually young major leaguers who have already established themselves but who have a cheap salary right now.
For my team in League 32, those centerpieces are probably these four guys:
League 32, Roster Centerpieces
Projected Value
Projected Pts/G
Wander Franco $32 $30 5.72
Ian Happ $12 $21 5.10
Sean Murphy $12 $17 4.95
Jorge Polanco $8 $13 5.13
Projected Values per Steamer Projections (FG Auction Calculator)
Even though Wander Franco doesn't necessarily have a projected surplus value in 2023, the potential in his bat is off the charts. Even if he ends up not hitting for as much power as expected, if he's healthy and continues his upward trajectory, he should be worth the large hit to my salary cap. The other three players all have plenty of surplus value and would likely fit on nearly every roster around the league at their price, even if their projections aren't that gaudy.
Making those keep or cut decisions with a two- or three-year outlook can be pretty tricky. It's hard enough projecting for next season, let alone a few years into the future. Luckily, ZiPS projects three years into the future so you can at least get an idea of how your roster might look in 2024 or 2025. Those long-term projections aren't perfect, but they're a good baseline to start from when determining which players to keep and which to cut.
On the other hand, if you're just starting your rebuild, you'll need valuable pieces to trade off during the season to continue replenishing your roster. This isn't as important as determining who the long-term core of your team is, but they'll be a critical part of moving your rebuild forward. Think of them as the MLB veteran signed to a one- or two-year deal to be used as trade bait during the summer. For my roster, that's someone like my $25 Max Muncy or $21 Teoscar Hernández. Those two are projected to be solid contributors, and if they have a strong season in 2023, they'd both make fantastic trade pieces during the summer for a team looking to upgrade for the stretch run. They're cheap enough to be keepers in 2023 and good enough to be a significant upgrade for a team during the summer.
Determining which players are long-term keepers and which players are sellable keepers might seem like they're at odds. It depends on where you're at in your rebuilding process. Since my team is still towards the beginning, I've still got sellable pieces on my roster that I can keep this year with the intention to move them for more valuable pieces later on.
Now we need to talk about prospects. For a rebuilding team, you'd expect that prospects are the bread and butter of the process. While that might be true to some extent, I'm here to argue that prospects are a trap. Yesterday, Lucas Kelly did a great job breaking down much of my argument in his piece on keeping minor leaguers. With prospects, you're hoping that their development path and introduction to the majors is as smooth as Juan Soto's while trying to keep them on your roster with a low enough salary if/when they hit snags along the way.
For example, Marco Luciano has an average salary of $5 in Ottoneu right now (and I happen to currently roster him in League 32). His ETA on his prospect profile says 2024, but he hasn't played above High-A yet. Even if he does hit that ETA, it's unlikely he'll make an immediate impact until a year or two later. At that point his salary will be at least $7 and maybe higher if he gets any major league playing time. Will he be worth that salary then? Maybe, but it's a risk you have to weigh and Luciano's timeline might not line up with your own cycle. Lucas made the same argument with Jack Leiter in his article yesterday. With prospects that are multiple years away, are they even going to be contributing in the major leagues when you're aiming to break out of your rebuilding cycle? I'm choosing to keep Luciano at $3 because the salary is low enough I can take the risk to see if he pans out and he might even make an enticing trade piece this summer if his minor league season is more successful than last year.
With that said, there are some prospects who do make sense to try and build around. With the new CBA incentivizing teams to promote their top prospects earlier in the season, it's easier than ever to figure out which prospects are going to be given a full-season opportunity in the big leagues. These MLB-ready prospects are usually deep into their development process and can usually be trusted to return some modest value now while hopefully bringing back even more value later on. My team in League 32 has four guys like that: George Kirby ($10), Ezequiel Tovar ($3), Grayson Rodriguez ($3), and Shane Baz ($3). I'm betting that these guys will develop enough to become centerpieces on my roster in a few years and they're close enough to the majors that I can make a call on whether or not they've developed sufficiently fairly quickly in my rebuilding process.
That's it for now. My next installment in this series will examine my opening moves of this rebuild from last summer and dive into a potential draft strategy.

Outstanding job, Jake.


What's The Weirdest Thing With A Steering Wheel?
It seems like every week someone invents a 100 mph mobility scooter or drivable desk. Basically, if a thing exists, someone has stuck a steering wheel on it.
There are all kinds of drivable barstools and couches and whatever else. What do you think is the weirdest, most unexpected thing to have a steering wheel? Post your favorite home-built monstrosities below.


The unknown, unfamiliar, unexpected – it often results in life's most worthwhile experiences. Yet many people associate it with apprehension instead of with excitement and adventure. I understand – I was and, although to a lesser extent, am still one of them.
It's only human. I still have moments when I breathe deeply, reminding myself to physically and mentally calm down. I tell myself I will make the best decision when the actual fork in the road presents itself – not one I've fabricated in my internal reality. The serendipitous quality of life happens when you open yourself up; it generally works out even when it doesn't seem like it at the time.
Perhaps while you were wandering around lost in a city, you stumbled upon a glorious sight (like rows and rows of modern red rope hammocks near an art museum) you likely wouldn't have seen and enjoyed otherwise. Maybe you learned something new about yourself, that you persevered in spite of multiple failed attempts and figured it out eventually – success! Perhaps you gained more confidence in your ability to handle situations that will come your way.
Traveling is one of the best ways to get yourself out of the familiar and into the areas and situations you are not familiar with. You're navigating unknown streets and public transport systems, trying out new foods, experiencing sights and sounds that are different from places you've been. It's not always comfortable; in fact, many times you're uncomfortable, hesitant, perhaps desperately trying different things and that's the whole point. You're broadening your horizons and comfort zone every time you travel to a new place, guaranteed, even if it's only a little bit, even if it's just 2 hours away from your home.
Have a general idea of where you'd like to go, and don't worry about the details.
If it seems difficult or there are many obstacles, it may not be meant to be. If you keep your plans flexible and are open to other possibilities, you may find the result was better than your original idea!
If in doubt, you can always ask a friendly face. People generally like to be regarded as an expert, so feel free to ask their advice. You don't need to know everything or figure it all out yourself. It's often beneficial to use your network and the good people around you.
In times of uncertainty, worry, and in some cases, urgency, it's always worked out for the best in the end. It may not seem like the best when you're in the midst of the fray. Hindsight is always clearer. Yes, even when my assumed lodging plans fell through and I had to spend a lot more money while scrambling for new accommodations. Even when I took the wrong tram, heading in the opposite direction, only to realize I didn't really feel like going to where I had planned anyway. And also when I missed the main route and took the road less traveled, enjoying the sights without the crowds on the way.
Just remember to be smart. Pay attention to what's going on and if you don't feel safe, trust your instincts, get out of the situation quickly and into a safer one. Your primitive brain (amygdala) has evolved over the years to be great at recognizing danger. The primitive response is so savvy, it often goes overboard and into the realm of over-analyzing and over-preparing. It's important to do research, ask questions, and have a back-up plan (sometimes it's important for your safety), but there is a threshold when you'll miss out on what's going on right in front of you as you're speculating out scenarios that are likely not going to happen or spending countless hours staring at your computer.
It's definitely a balance, and the balance does swing from side to side with the traveling wind. There's a lulling comfort in knowing that taking in the unfamiliar winds will only enhance your overall experience.

Q: MYSQL: Group By and SUM different columns with different criteria I'm trying to query a MySQL table with GROUP BY, and then SUM columns based on different criteria (type).
Here is a table:
NAME       TYPE      AMOUNT

Walter     BUY       2
Walter     BUY       5
Walter     SELL      3
Walter     SELL      1
Pollo      BUY       8
Pollo      BUY       2
Jessie     BUY       1
Jessie     BUY       3
Jessie     SELL      2
Jessie     SELL      1

I'm want to group by name and SUM the BUY and SELL for each name. The result I'm looking for:
Name       SUM(BUY)    SUM(SELL)

Jessie     4           3
Pollo      10          0
Walter     7           4

I'm able to achieve the SUM but only on two different queries:
 SELECT name, SUM(BUY) FROM tb WHERE TYPE = "BUY" GROUP BY NAME;

 SELECT name, SUM(SELL) FROM tb WHERE TYPE = "SELL" GROUP BY NAME;

I'm trying to UNION and UNION ALL these queries but it's not working:
 (SELECT name, SUM(BUY) FROM tb WHERE TYPE = "BUY" GROUP BY NAME)
 UNION
 (SELECT name, SUM(SELL) FROM tb WHERE TYPE = "SELL" GROUP BY NAME);

Is it possible to GROUP BY and then SUM different columns with different WHERE condition?

A: We can try to use the condition aggregate function
use SUM and CASE WHEN expressions with your logic.
SELECT name,
     SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = 'buy' THEN AMOUNT ELSE 0 END) 'SUM(BUY)',
     SUM(CASE WHEN TYPE = 'Sell' THEN AMOUNT ELSE 0 END) 'SUM(Sell)'
FROM tb
WHERE TYPE IN ('buy','Sell')
GROUP BY NAME;

The Justice Department sent a letter in support of repealing the entirety of the Affordable Care Act. Here, a sign in support of the ACA in April 2017 in New York City.
The change was announced in a two-sentence letter from the Department of Justice to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, that the ruling made in December by a district court judge in Texas "should be affirmed."
In that case, District Judge Reed O'Connor declared the ACA unconstitutional. He ruled that a 2017 change in federal tax law eliminating the penalty on uninsured people invalidated the entire health care law.
"The Department of Justice has determined that the district court's comprehensive opinion came to the correct conclusion and will support it on appeal," Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement. The letter said the DOJ will further explain its position in a brief to be filed later.
The Justice Department's letter won't change anything yet for the law, also known as Obamacare. Coverage for those who have insurance through the ACA — more than 10 million people through Medicaid expansion, and another nearly 12 million through ACA exchanges – stays the same for now. The case will continue to wind through the courts and will likely end up before the Supreme Court.
If the case does land at the Supreme Court, it would be the third time that the court would rule on a constitutional question related to the ACA. The court upheld the law in 2012 and rejected a challenge to it in 2015.
Meanwhile, a group of Republican state attorneys general are fighting to have the law repealed, while a group of Democratic state attorneys general are arguing to keep the law in place.
In addition to the law's best-known aspects — the exchanges and the federal requirement to buy health insurance — the ACA touches every part of the health care system, from how Medicare pays doctors, to the Medicaid expansion that has covered millions of low-income people, to whether restaurants have to post nutrition information. Hospitals would have to develop new payment systems, and an entire section of the insurance industry would go away.
The ACA's popularity played a role in Democrats' success in the 2018 elections, when they took back the House. Upending the law could prove politically dangerous for the Trump administration and Republicans who are backing the law's repeal.
"Last night, the Department of Justice declared the entire law and all of its vital health care protections must go," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, said in remarks on the Senate Floor on Tuesday. "Make no mistake about it, this is an escalation of the Trump administration and Republicans' attacks on protections for people with pre-existing conditions."

At the November Membership Association meeting for RRAA, the program that followed the business meeting portion was a critique of your artwork done by Bud Edmondson. Each member was asked to bring in a piece of their work for critiquing. Each painting or artwork was given a good 2 minutes in review.
Even though I did not bring anything in, I learned a lot about how I approached my art compositions and why some were more successful than others.
In respect to edges, sometimes they are too hard and sometimes they are too soft in the subject matter.
The center of interest in the composition should have the strongest value and contrast.
Do not put the horizon line and focal point of the composition dead center in the picture plane.
Atmospheric perspective is achieved by changes in value and have subordinate values and color.
Never (repeat never) use green right out of the tube for trees.
Avoid making the foreground subject matter overpowering. You need to provide a way within the image for the viewer to look past the foreground.
Remember that values can change and shift from side to side in the picture plane (and should in most cases).
Avoid having the same values throughout the painting. Values can be used to bring focus to the subject matter. The sky is always the lightest value.
A color can appear to be darker than what it is by making the subject next to it a lighter value.
Your darkest darks should be in the foreground.
A composition can get problematic and 'stiff' if the subject matter has equal space around it. Decide to make the subject higher or lower in the picture plane.
Shadows are a darker value of whatever it is cast upon. For example, a shadow cast on concrete should be of a darker value of that concrete.

A student came to the library today looking for the film "L'Arnacoeur." You'll notice that on IMDB the English title is "Heartbreaker." Considering the premise ("Alex and his sister run a business designed to break up relationships. They are hired by a rich man to break up the wedding of his daughter. The only problem is that they only have one week to do so.") Heartbreaker is not a bad translation of the title. Or is it?
When the student showed me the title of this movie, scribbled on her hand, it sounded weird to me. To understand why, you need to know that there's this French part of my brain that activates abruptly at the slightest hint of a francophone syllable.
"Really? I thought it was spelled with a Q?" thought the French half of my brain.
L'arnacoeur is a pun. It's a combination of "arnaqueur" (meaning scam artist, swindler) and "coeur" (meaning heart). Alex and his sister are not accidental heart breakers, they're heart swindlers. A whole nuther level of bad karma.
Of course Heartswindlers doesn't have the same ring. It doesn't sound like another English word. Arnacoeur and arnaqueur are homophones in French. Eh alors, traduire c'est trahir. To translate is to betray.

The scene is Vienna, Christmas 1857. The talk of the town and the media was the announcement by the Austrian emperor that he was going to tear down the outdated medieval city walls to make way for a modern boulevard on the green line around the old city centre. The ring-shaped boulevard was to symbolize the wealth and power of Vienna and its readiness for modern times, therefore enabling the city to compete with the famous reconstructions that had made 19th century Paris and Berlin famous for grand avenues and sweeping vistas.
This walk, in the company of a historian, takes you along this outstanding boulevard called "Ringstrasse" and gives you an in-depth introduction to the political and philosophical motivations behind the project. In addition, you learn about the social and geographical impact it had on the city in the years to come. We start off in front of the impressive City Hall ("Rathaus"), one of the landmarks along the Ring and a beloved meeting point.
When the project was introduced, it was proclaimed that a large number of public buildings were to be placed along "Ringstrasse". During our discussion, we will consider the historical style in which these public institutions were built and why certain styles where chosen for certain buildings. You will also become familiar with the most influential architects along the "Ringstrasse". For each of those architects, winning a commission in this prestigious project meant a completely new status for their future careers.
The construction of the "Ringstrasse" was to be funded through the building of privately financed apartment houses. However, it proved difficult to sell the properties. First of all, it was obvious that it would take years before the Ring project would be finished. Nobody could be found who was immediately attracted to living on a building site. Second, the established nobility of Vienna feared the mystery of future occupants in an entirely new district. Because The Ring was a terrae incognitae in society circles, any nouveau riche could become your neighbour! The story of the community who ended up living along the "Ringstrasse" will add another dimension to our discussion along the Ring.
Of course, a boulevard functions as a kind of public catwalk and The Ring was most definitely the place of places in Vienna to see, be seen and meet with people from the moment of its completion. Therefore several cafes and restaurants were established along the boulevard. At the end of our tour we will visit "Cafe Schwarzenberg" est. 1861 to get an insight into the thriving Vienna café culture at the latter half of the 19th Century.
(This tour can also be booked as a children's family tour where your guide focuses on the symbols on various buildings and on everyday life in Vienna around 1900.)

Adventures in Guided Journaling: Moving right along . . .
It's a fairly unremarkable photo, but it was a Saturday morning and they were baking together (one of her absolute favourite things to do) and that's her artwork and her sister's, up there on the wall behind them, and there's just something about the way she's looking up at her dad. That's what it's all about, says my heart.
That's why I've stopped by today, after yet another lengthy absence. To talk a little about the pace around here. Slowed right down, hasn't it? Every once in a while when I read up on what I'm supposed to be doing, blogwise, the primary rule always seems to be to post regularly and often. That makes perfect sense to me. The bloggers I love post regularly and often and it's a treat to be able to follow their lives and projects.
I can do that -- post somewhat regularly -- for short stretches, but deep down, that's just not me. I'm up and I'm down. Quiet then chatty. Settled into a happy routine with the little ones and then thrown completely off for days at a time. It's rarely smooth sailing in my world, a fact to which the husband can attest, and for better or worse, my blog is a reflection of that.
And so, on top of my own odd quirks, we are now embarking on two summer months, during which my time and energy, like so many of us, will be pulled in all sorts of wonky directions.
In journal page news, I wanted to let you know that it's going to be a slow summer. I plan to post one new page mid-July and another one mid-August.
Beyond that, changes are coming.
Our youngest starts school in the fall and I've got a few plans for this space -- a new name to take for a spin and new design formats to add to the tried and true. Until then, there will be much splashing and laughing, and sunscreen and bug spray, and family and friends.
See you in a few weeks with journal page 45.
awww, those pictures are sweet.
Christie do what you need to do. Your family and your own well being come FIRST! I hope that you enjoy your summer with the kiddos and hubby first and foremost! Enjoy!
What? Isn't everyone quiet then chatty? Can't imagine it's just you and me. The love in the first photo (as well as maybe, "Let me do it by myself, Dad"?) makes me want to hug them both. And I love the awe and preparedness of the birthday girl and her sister.
Enjoy the wonkiness of summer! Can't wait to see the changes that are simmering.
Your loyal readers will still be here - it's quality, not quantity. I am the exact same way. My blogging definitely ebbs and flows. Maybe it's the bipolar in me, lol! Enjoy these splendid summer days. Snow will be flying soon enough and you'll have plenty of time to sit in front of the computer.
I've always thought that the daily blogging etc was, well, overrated :) Quite frankly, I have unsubscribed from many blogs that simply posted too frequently for me to keep up with. Like Roxann said, quality not quantity is my mantra. Blog when and how you want -- it's YOUR blog!
that first photo is so previous!
I appreciated this post a lot.
your words, "I can do that -- post somewhat regularly -- for short stretches, but deep down, that's just not me. I'm up and I'm down."
describe me to a T.
... we didn't feel the need to excuse or explain the frequency of our blogging?
You know... each time that I see a new post from you, I feel happy because I know it will either be a journal page (which I love) or, and sometimes I love this even more, it will be some genuine sharing of yourself or your life.
To me that genuine sharing is a treasure. I value it so much and it's a balm to my spirit in this increasingly impersonal world.
And it means so much more to me when I know that you did it when the time was right, when you felt drawn to - not 'supposed to'.
I just wanted to thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these amazing pages. It may not seem like much, but I really love them. I'm heading up a major family history project in my own family, and I love to share these pages with my siblings and parents. So, thank you.

Paco de Lucía (1947-2014)
The immensely talented and highly regarded flamenco guitarist, Paco de Lucía , passed away due to a heart attack at the age of 66. A comprehensive obituary and profile can be found here via BBC . Although I'd never completely acquainted myself with his catalogue, de Lucía's performance with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin in Fridday Night in San Francisco has been a constant in my life, those acoustic guitars either amiably strummed or intricately plucked throughout its entirety. The whole album plays like a conversation between friends, serious when it needs to be but prone to bouts of humor and joy. It's an album I adore, so central to the good in my life that it's what I reach for when a vacation destination is on the horizon or when contentment and warmth has filled my evenings.

Shopping For Records: Sun Ra, Lee "Scratch" Perry, DEVO, Julian Cope, Nina Hagen Band
Yesterday felt like the first sunny day to grace my small corner of the world in weeks. So, my mood greatly improved by warm air and the radiating glow of sorely missed sunshine, I took a drive over to Siren Records and dropped a hefty sum on the following: Siren Records Doylestown, PA Sun Ra and His Solar-Myth Arkestra The Solar-Myth Approach Vol. 1 & 2 BYG Actuel Originally released: 1972 Reissued: 2014(?) Continuing with my Sun Ra streak, I found both volumes of The Solar-Myth Approach , which had been originally released in 1972 by the French label, BYG Actuel. I'd intended on leaving the store with at least one Sun Ra album, following the planned raid on all those El Saturn reissues I'd discussed per my last visit to Siren. Unfortunately, their inventory had been picked over pretty well, but these two albums caught my eye and it seemed foolish to buy an incomplete set. I haven't listened to them yet, but they're 180gram pressings, nice gatefo
"Gotta Read the Labels:" Godmode
Hey, everyone. We're talking labels today. In 2012, I reviewed the Fatherland EP by Mr. Dream and Weird Wild World by Sleepies , both of which were released by the Godmode label. Specializing in post-punk and some of the more avant variations of R&B and EDM I've heard, Godmode, which is owned and run by former Pitchfork editor and current Mr. Dream drummer Nick Sylvester and Capitol Records A&R rep Talya Elitzer , recently released a new cassette compilation called, Common Interests Were Not Enough To Keep Us Together. Featuring new music from the label (plus a couple new tracks from Mr. Dream and Sleepies which were a plus for me), the comp provides a varied selection of sounds that range from club ( Shamir ) to vocal ( Soft Lit ) to experimental ( Yvette ), which ultimately affirms Godmode's place as a home for both very inviting to likely alienating performers.

Kid Millions: RSD 4.19 & Man Forever
Today, I received a couple of notices regarding some upcoming Kid Millions projects: The first is a collaborative effort with J. Spaceman ( Jason Pierce of Spiritualized ) that's being released on Record Store Day and the other is a new album from KM percussion project, Man Forever . The first announcement comes courtesy of Northern Spy Records. Hopefully we make Record Store Day fun. It's fun for us, for sure. We treat it as a chance to do something unique and of-the-moment — last year it was the Thurston Moore & Loren Connors collaboration (check out Bill Meyer 's review and a video ). This year we're presenting the first US performance by J. Spaceman and Kid Millions, two musicians for which we share a deep love and admiration. It's a heady record, part spaced-out drone vibes with Kid's drums bubbling under the surface and part hallucinatory jamming, free and ecstatic. This release is limited to 3000 copies - it's a 12" LP with a
Odonis Odonis: "Ring Of Fire"
Toronto buzz grinders Odonis Odonis released a cover of the famous Johnny Cash tune, "Ring of Fire." If you're at all familiar with the levels of noise that the members of Odonis Odonis normally explore, you may think that they dial it down to suitably honor the Man in Black . Such is not the case as they attempt to inject the song with all the discordance they can generate. You can give it a listen below. The link was provided by Force Field PR.

RSD 4.19: Deerhoof/Marc Ribot split 7"
We're a little more than two months away from this year's Record Store Day and today I received my first item on this year's wishlist: Deerhoof and Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog will be issuing a split 7" via Northern Spy Records. I'm hoping to have a stream to post at a later date. In the meantime, I have cover art and a small blurb courtesy of Northern Spy. "Long live Marc Ribot." - Greg Saunier "Long live Deerhoof!" - Marc Ribot A split 7" deserves a split write-up. So, I asked Deerhoof's Greg Saunier and Ceramic Dog's Marc Ribot to write something about this record. Turns out there's some mutual respect here. I guess it'd be weird if there wasn't. The Deerhoof track originally appeared as "Qui Dorm, Només Somia" on Deerhoof vs Evil . On this 7", Marc Ribot's guitar serves as the harmony in place of Satomi 's vocals. It's RAD. And the Ceramic Dog tune is one of their heav

Shopping For Records: Beatles & Slint — Thoughts on Anniversaries and Box Sets
Do you remember the moment the natural course of your mind had suddenly been disrupted by a piece of music? For many, it was February 9th, 1964 as a well-known television show host introduced the most important band in the world to the thousands of enthusiastic American youth. Two such youths were my Mom and Dad, and their love of this band would be passed to me. Growing up a fairly introverted suburban kid interested in sci-fi, superheroes and art, my more vivid memories as a child involved a radio, an album, a cassette or a music video. Before I understood that my head was being completely undone and rebuilt by much of what I'd listened to as I grew up, I'd become attached to my Dad's record collection, which was a long set of LPs that seemed to span the length of our third floor bedroom. I spent a lot of time up there, mostly listening to Beatles LPs while slowly being changed. My very beat up U.S. editions of A Hard Days Night and Beatles '65 . My wi

Bohren & Der Club Of Gore: "Ganz Liese Kommt Die Nacht"
We're still very early in 2014, but my wishlist seems to grow and grow as the days elapse. High on that list is the upcoming new album from Bohren & Der Club Of Gore , Piano Nights . Their albums tend to be very rich and remarkably cold brand of jazz, slow and beautiful in the same way that nighttime can be. The band's 2002 release, Black Earth , was all I listened to for well over a month when I picked up a copy. Really good winter album. A video for the track, "Ganz Liese Kommt Die Nacht," has surfaced. Give it a look and then peruse all the info which was provided by Rarely Unable.

Pink Mountaintops: "North Hollywood Microwaves"
And today's "what the fuck" moment goes to the new Pink Mountaintops single, "North Hollywood Microwaves." The side project of Black Mountain mastermind, Stephen McBean , Pink Mountaintops will have a new album out called Get Back on April 29th. I reviewed the band's last album, Outside Love , for No Ripcord in 2009. So, the song... ... it's kind of erratic and No Wave -ish in a James Chance manner of speaking. And, then there is the rapid onslaught of vulgarities conceived and spoken by Giant Drag 's Annie Hardy , who talks about man juice like it's the soup du jour in a foodie blog. The press release has stated with what would seem a very convincing tone that this is "quite possibly the filthiest song in the Jagjaguwar catalog." Listen for yourself and I would recommend headphones. The song, tour dates and other Pink Mountaintops info comes to you courtesy of Jagjaguwar. Pink Mountaintops Returns With Get Bac

Kolkata faces roasting if earth heats by 2o C
Tuesday, 09 October 2018 | PNS | New Delhi
Global warming could debilitate India: UN report
A new report released by a UN body on Monday has warned that if the world failed to contain global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius, the rising temperature will worsen the risk of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people in the world, including India which is already reeling under climatic uncertainties.
The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) comes months after the World Bank study warned that changing monsoon patterns and rising temperatures driven by climate change could cost India 2.8 per cent of GDP.
The report on 'Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius' by the IPCC does not list country wise impacts, but several scientific studies have concluded that India is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change impacts.
In the Indian subcontinent, the IPCC report specifically mentions Kolkata and Karachi among cities that could face an increased threat of heat waves. "Karachi and Kolkata can expect annual conditions equivalent to their deadly 2015 heatwaves. Climate change is significantly contributing to increased heat-related mortality," it stated, adding a 2 degrees rise will be catastrophic for the two cities.
"It is now the scientific consensus that global warming affects human health, causing loss of millions of lives," co-author of the report Arthur Wyns from Climate Tracker said. Another co-author, Joyashree Roy, professor of economics at Jadavpur University, said, "We have found that the burden of global warming will fall disproportionately on the poor who are not responsible for the problem if we don't meet 1.5 degrees Centigrade target. The most affected areas will be mega cities, coastal areas, high mountain, and small island regions. There will also be heat stress in cities and air quality will deteriorate due to high fossil fuel use like coal, diesel, woods and others.
The report states that for global warming to be contained at 1.5 degrees Celsius, the net human-caused CO2 emissions would need to fall by 45 per cent from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching net zero by around 2050.
The '1.5 Health Report', which is a synthesis of the health content of IPCC report compiled by experts from University of Washington, World Health Organisation and Climate tracker, highlighted that India and Pakistan could be worst affected in the event of a 2 degree Celsius increase. Climate change is also projected to be a "poverty multiplier" through food insecurity, higher food prices, income losses, lost livelihood opportunities, adverse health impacts and population displacements.
According to the IPCC report, poverty is expected to increase with rise in global warming. "Limiting global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius as against 2 degrees Celsius can reduce the number of people exposed to climate-related risks and poverty by up to several hundred million by 2050," the report said.
The same limit can result in reduced losses in yields of maize, rice, wheat and other cereal crops, particularly in Asia. The report also suggests mitigation measures to reduce anthropogenic net emissions of carbon dioxide.
At 1.5C the proportion of the global population exposed to water stress could be 50 per cent lower than at 2C, it notes. Food scarcity would be less of a problem and hundreds of millions fewer people, particularly in poor countries, would be at risk of climate-related poverty.
Limiting global warming to 1.5C would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society, as per the new assessment. With clear benefits to people and natural ecosystems, limiting global warming to 1.5ºC compared to 2ºC could go hand in hand with ensuring a more sustainable and equitable society, it added.
However, the good news is that some of the kinds of actions that would be needed to limit global warming to 1.5ºC are already underway around the world, but they would need to accelerate, said Valerie Masson-Delmotte, Co-Chair of the report.
Global Warming of 1.5ºC is the first in a series of Special Reports to be produced in the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Cycle. Next year the IPCC will release the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, and Climate Change and Land, which looks at how climate change affects land use.


The goal: Creativity. The pathway: mastery of body, technique, partnership, and endless play. The dance floor, like life itself, is a playground of movement. With her home base in New York City, Flouer has an extensive, multilayered background in movement practices. Her experiences range from world travel for ice skating and contemporary dance, a lifetime of ballet, a decade of Latin ballroom & lindy hop, stage combat, burlesque, a smattering of zouk & WCS, and years of winning blues dance competitions. She has both her Undergraduate and Graduate degrees in Dance.
Kelsey has been dancing since she was 5, starting with tap, jazz, and ballet, later adding lyrical, hip hop, and contemporary. She bounced around to different dance forms, from aerial to tango, lindy hop, and salsa, among others, until finding Brazilian Zouk, her drug of choice. She fell in love with Zouk when it was brought to Seattle by Xtine, and she has been dancing it nonstop ever since.
Alex teaches Brazilian Zouk in Seattle and is excited to return to SFF this year. He enjoys sharing the creativity, flow, and musicality of zouk. By helping students develop an understanding of music, solo and partnering technique, and the nuances of our bodies, he hopes to guide people to a better partner dance experience.
Warren Woo is a photographer, videographer, yoga instructor, trainer, choreographer, and dancer in the Seattle area. He graduated as a dance major at the University of Washington and actively participated as a dance student association officer, performer, and choreographer, along, with conducting honors research on dance partnering. Born in Hawaii and having to relocate often, he was homeschooled and studied music in his youth. His development as a physical mover began with Ultimate Frisbee, yoga, running and weight training in his late teens. He found his passion for dance in social partner dance and gradually found his way to ballet, contemporary and circus training over the years. Frequently collaborating with those in the area he has had the opportunity to present work at Converge Dance Festival, and perform at the UW, Full Tilt, Strictly Seattle, Men in Dance, Battle for the Dance Belt, and companies including the Cabiri, Karin Stevens Dance, Relay Dance Collective, Northwest Ballet Theater, and more.
Robyn has been studying creative and athletic movement of many kinds since childhood. In high school she began to study yoga as a way to heal her body from chronic pain, help manage her emotional state and compliment her training as a cheerleader, dancer and athlete. She fell in love with the feeling she had after each yoga session, and wanted to teach yoga to spread the joy, health and clarity to the people she worked with. In 2013 she took her first 200 hour Vinyasa yoga teacher training in Seattle, WA. She taught in various places in Seattle, to both adults and children, and then later in Olympia, WA. In 2017, she traveled to India and studied Yoga Therapy with a master yogi, and completed another 300 hour Hatha yoga teacher training. Robyn studied Child development, Education and dance therapy for her Bachelors of Arts degree at The Evergreen State College, and during that time taught partner dancing and contact improvisation and yoga to elders, adults and children. Robyn's teaching style is eclectic, stemming from Yoga, somatics, Qi gong, and many dance forms including the BrainDance, as she aims to give people more freedom in their bodies, and joy in their hearts through spreading mindful movement to all people.

Study Design. A prospective clinical study.
Objective. To quantitatively evaluate impairment of postural stability in patients with cervical myelopathy. Summary of Background Data. Proprioceptive sensation plays an important role in coordinated movement of the lower extremities and postural stability. Nevertheless, although disturbance of proprioceptive information will have an influence on the maintenance of postural stability, there have been few studies dealing with deterioration of postural stability in patients with cervical myelopathy.
length per environmental area (L/EA), which measures fine control of standing posture by proprioceptive reflexes.
cantly larger postural instability in the patient group compared to the control group. The L/EA of the patient group was significantly worse than the control group. It was also shown that postural instability was significantly larger in the myelopathy patients with the severe clinical symptoms.
Conclusion. The results of the present study demonstrate impairment of postural stability in patients with cervical myelopathy. The stabilometer can objectively evaluate the postural stability, which may reflect the function of the dorsal columns and the corticospinal tracts. Thus, stabilometry is a useful method for measuring a part of proprioceptive function and for objective assessment of the lower limb function of cervical myelopathy.

Boredom, tiredness and distraction are things we all experience when studying, and the complexity of some aspects of accountancy study can make finance students particularly susceptible to it.
If it's something that troubles you, we just might have a solution for you. If you haven't tried it yet, mind mapping is a really effective alternative approach to revision.
Mind mapping is the process of charting a topic in a 'map' of connected branches. The idea is to place all of the aspects of a topic onto a single page, with ideas connected to each other by 'branches'.
It's an alternative to more traditional study methods that you might already be using, such as taking notes in an exercise book or using revision cards.
You've already made revision cards. Why should you mind map?
Mind mapping can save you hours of inefficient study time. It forces you to fit a whole topic onto a single page, so you'll need to be brief - no room for long, detailed paragraphs here.
Instead, you'll choose just a few 'magic words' to remind you of a particular point. If you can reduce a complex idea down to a few words, it shows you've understood it, and the process will help you remember it. It makes recall during the exam easier, too.
Mind mapping is easy, and you might even find it more fun than writing traditional notes.
Get a blank piece of paper. Draw a small circle in the middle of the page. This is where all your branches will emanate from.
Draw your first branch and work your way around the page clockwise from the '2 o'clock' position.
There are two key areas within our topic. The first is Explain the various business purposes for which the following financial information is required. There are four types of financial information, and this branch will cover all of them eventually.
So along the first branch you just drew, write 'Types of information'.
We can leave out the words 'The statement of' to keep it brief – the first piece of information could be written on its branch as 'profit / loss'. These are the magic words!
Sticking with our 'profit/loss' branch, you'll need to draw branches from the end of it for each business purpose. The first is 'to show an entity's financial performance'. This can be summarised as 'show financial performance' or just 'show fin. perf.' for short.
Write this along the first branch coming from the end of your 'profit/loss' branch.
You'll then need to continue by drawing a branch for each further purpose of 'the statement of profit or loss', and writing a summary of what it is along it.
Repeat Step 5 for each of the four types of financial information.
Finished drawing all of the branches for the first key area?
Then draw another branch from the small circle you draw in Step 1 for the second key area (Describe the main purposes of the following types of management accounting reports), and begin again at Step 2, building the next set of branches.
After all that drawing, you should find that you already remember a lot. The optimum number of times to revise the sheet is around five, and usual studying rules apply, so remember to set yourself a time limit, take breaks and drink lots of water for maximum effectiveness. Good luck!

Most of your writing at Brown will take the form of essays about a text or group of texts, whether your instructor calls them "essays" or not. By essay we in this [handout] will mean a written argument, readable in one sitting, in which some idea is developed and supported. The following are some terms for the elements of this process that you may use; or you may choose your own synonyms for them.
STRUCTURE: the shape your idea takes, the sequence of sub-topics and sections through which it is unfolded and developed. This happens by the complementary activities of CONVINCING your reader and EXPLORING your topic.
Convincing requires you to push forward insistently, marshalling evidence for your idea, in a firm, logical structure of clear sections--each section proving further the truth of the idea.
Exploring requires you to slow down and contemplate the various aspects of your topic--its complications, difficulties, alternatives to your view, assumptions, backgrounds, asides, nuances and implications.
explicitly connected to the idea--so it's always clear exactly what inference is being made from the evidence, exactly how the details support the idea or sub-idea.
