Blooper and 5-star catch on same play for Red Wings
Kevin Oklobzija
@kevinoDandC
For Miguel Sano, the infield pop-up was far more blooper reel than highlight.
For James Beresford, however, it was his resume in motion.
This is what happens when a pop fly caroms off the head of one Rochester Red Wings player and leads to a diving catch by another. You get the crazy highlight video of the season, even though the Wings lost 3-2 to the Pawtucket Red Sox on Wednesday afternoon at Frontier Field.
"You want to talk about the Not Top 10 or the Top 10?" Beresford asked with a smile.
Both, actually, since it could very well cover both video recaps on ESPN's SportsCenter; Sano for the header and Beresford for the instant reaction and then sparkling catch to end the fifth inning.
The breakdown:
With two on and two out, Justin Maxwell hit a Logan Darnell pitch high into the air, just behind the mound. Beresford roamed over from first base; Sano ran over from third.
"I called the ball first, probably a little early, and then he called it so I backed off," Beresford said.
Sano took charge, meandered under the ball and — at the last moment lost sight of it in the sun. He tilted his head down to protect his face and an instant later the ball glanced off his glove, hit him on the top of the head near his forehead, bounced up about two feet and then continued toward the ground.
An ever-alert Beresford, however, intercepted, making a dive to snare the ball just before it hit the grass for the final out of the inning.
"There's been a lot of soccer on TV lately," Beresford deadpanned about Sano. "I guess he's been watching."
Not exactly how they teach headers on the soccer pitch, however.
"I yelled 'I got it, I got it' but the last two seconds I lost it in the sun," Sano said. "It hit my glove and my head."
That had to hurt.
"Not at all," Sano said.
Beresford had little time to react yet was able to make the catch. Wings manager Mike Quade was impressed but not surprised.
"If you want to know who Jimmy Beresford is, watch that play," Quade said. "Miggy called for it but Jimmy stayed with it all the way. That's what makes him a special player."
Sano has some special traits as well, starting with his power at the plate. Since joining the Wings on Friday on a rehabilitation assignment, he has belted two long home runs. He is 3-for-19 with four walks and seven strikeouts.
He'll play both games of Thursday's 6:05 p.m. doubleheader against the Syracuse Chiefs and then quite likely rejoin the Twins. He has encountered no issues with his strained left hamstring.
Sano will play one game at third and the other as designated hitter. In his six games, he has been at third four times, DH'd once and played right field once.
He prefers third for the future with the Twins. "I feel like it's more fun," he said. "It's not a big deal to play the outfield, but I like third base more."
Sano, however, was moved to right field this season as a way to keep Trevor Plouffe at third and allow newcomer Byung Ho Park to be the designated hitter and backup to Joe Mauer at first. Thus, Sano played just five games at third base for the Twins and made 38 starts in right.
He had plenty of action Wednesday. He couldn't make a play on a slow-hit chopper. He made a super diving stop to his left to rob Chris Marrero of a hit in the ninth.
"I missed one, then do a great one," Sano said. "I've been working hard."
He wasn't necessarily expected to impress with his glove but he has with his bat when he has connected, including an opposite-field home run.
"Not too many guys can hit the ball to right-center and hit the ball out of this park," Beresford said.

Wings All-Stars
Second baseman Jorge Polanco will start for the International League in the Triple-A All-Star Game on July 13 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Wings left-handed starter Jason Wheeler was selected as a reserve.
Polanco is hitting .283 with 6 triples, 5 home runs and 22 RBIs. Wheeler has a 6-1 record and 2.64 ERA since a late-April recall from Double-A Chattanooga.
Pitching coach Stu Cliburn was earlier selected to the IL's coaching staff.

My top ten sporting moments of the decade
My tastes in sport are very eclectic, so strap yourself in. You're going to love this list.
The top ten F1 races of the decade
The 2010s featured 198 races across ten different seasons. There were some amazing races and there were some terrible races, but which were the best races? Let's take a look at the top ten races of the decade.
Five talking points from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Okay Formula One fans – another race is done, another season is over and another decade is in the history books. It's time to celebrate right? Perhaps not. Let's get into the final talking points for 2019 to see what's up and why Lance Stroll might have some company in this column next season.
Five talking points from the Brazilian Grand Prix
After a race off for my new column, I thought I better catch up and try and dissect all the action that happened at Interlagos. Let's get to it.
Five talking points from the Mexican Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton reigns and Max Vertsappen puts his foot in it. As always there were plenty of things to discuss after the Mexican Grand Prix. So let's take a look at five of them.
Geelong is officially the best team of the decade
If statistics don't lie, Geelong have been the best team in the AFL in the last decade.
Five talking points from the Japanese Grand Prix
Four races remain in the 2019 Formula One season.
Finding a reason to watch the rest of the 2019 F1 season
With only five races to go, it's all but a forgone conclusion that Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes will claim both championships – so, is there any point watching the rest of the 2019 F1 season?
Ranking the best Grand Finals of the decade
With another decade drawing to close in the AFL, just which was the best grand final in the last ten years? Let's take a look at each of the 11 grand finals since 2010 and find out.
The AFL's even millennium means more teams can hope for glory
Can you believe that we've just ended another decade of Australian Football?
The NHL is back: Looking at the big questions ahead of the 2019-20 season
Get excited sports fans.
The Nico Hulkenberg question
In just under three months' time it looks very likely that Nico Hulkenberg will be without a seat in Formula One.
I can't keep up! Just as somebody gets on a roll, somebody else comes up and takes them off their perch! It's crazy!
NHL Weekly Wednesdays: McDavid, Habs and a new Devils GM
Subtle brag: Calgary won the Battle of Alberta
Subtle hide in hole moment: Calgary then lost to Montreal
Carry on 😂
It's too confusing having two competitions like the Davis Cup and ATP Cup. There needs to be some form of middle ground found and have a Tennis World Cup and have it every four years. Make it more prestigious and then present the Davis Cup as the trophy to keep the tradition up.
Inaugural ATP Cup a roaring success
I think you need to do some more research into your claims. Again, 2010 the team had a limited budget and was only Mercedes by name, it wasn't fully owned by the company. It wasn't until 2011 that the full investment kicked in, and by 2012 they were winning races, which they did before Hamilton arrived.
Agree. The sad thing is when I started this article I was for certain Vettel would come out on top. And as a Vettel fan and someone who has never liked Alonso, it was very hard for me to come up with the final conclusion. But I guess the stats and numbers don't lie at the end of the day
How did Brawn 'fail' at Mercedes? The first three years were all about getting things organised and setup. They basically were name only in 2010 with a small budget, and then gradually built it all up towards their eventual success. They still won races in 2012 and 2013, scored podiums and did fairly well. Wolf even admitted that people like Brawn and Schumacher and everyone pre-Wolf/Hamilton were instrumental in getting them to where they are now. Definitely don't think it's fair to say Brawn failed when at Mercedes
Great article Jawad. Great reflection of the decade. It's hard to fathom that we only three World Champions over ten years. That to me sums up the state of the 2010s. I think we are all hopeful for better things to come in the 2020s. Bring it on
Exactly. Sharing is caring folks!
Why can't Perth hold the Boxing Day Test?
This is fantastic Andie! I'm looking forward to this now! I think I mentioned to you in my last comment I've been meaning to do some more NHL based articles, but this is brilliant.
It was a terrible situation for the Flames to find themselves in, but can we just say what a move it made to be? How great have the Flames been since?! I'm biased of course, but I think it's brought them back on track. Although if only the other Canadian teams could get into gear too. Did we ever think that Edmonton would be the leading Canadian contender? Something seems off there about that…
NHL Weekly Wednesdays: Walker, the reckoning and throat punches
Yeah that race was crazy. I remember thinking at that moment it was as bad as Indy in 2005. It was pretty scary to watch actually.
I struggled with 2013. I actually don't think it was that bad of a season to be completely honest, as I actually enjoyed seeing Vettel win so many consecutive races. That was even before I was a massive fan of his too. But on paper it wasn't the greatest season and I can't rank seasons down on Mercedes dominance if I'm going to ignore that season and pretend it was good.
People seem so content on just wanting to change any form of traditional venue or event or anything now to 'share it around' that I think it's time we just said screw it, let's just share everything around. For this I propose the following:
– The Australian Open be shared around all tennis venues in Australia. In 2028 this will include Alice Springs being granted hosting rights as Tennis Australia tries to really connect with rural Australia
– The Australian Grand Prix be shared around all racing venues in Australia. Of particular excitement will be the 2023 edition held at Symmons Plains, bringing extra excitement to the race
– The Sydney to Hobart yacht race alternate race courses moving forward. It's not fair that Sydney and Hobart always get to host this. Having the Perth to Melbourne or Brisbane to Darwin instead might be fair
– The Stawell Gift be run at any park in Australia. Why should it always be held in Stawell?
– Finally the Melbourne Cup. It's ridiculous that Melbourne holds this every single year. It should be shared around at other venues capable of holding Australia's major horse race
Let's make it all fair kids!
Haha yes. That is the great hope many people are saying! So never say never I guess!
And it's great to see people contributing hockey on here! I need to do it more moving forward as it's such a great sport that needs more coverage!
St Louis Blues vs Pittsburgh Penguins preview; featuring Aussie Nathan Walker
I think you'll see it rank pretty highly on my seasons ranking list!
The AFL fixture is biased towards Victorian clubs
I actually made a slight faux pas with the amount of races and have asked for it to be edited. There were actually 198, which is reflected in my upcoming articles based around stats.
I definitely get why you would be used to a certain type of racing as that's all you know. I remember when I started in the mid-90s before fully getting involved around 1997 and 1998, many people bemoaned the racing was 'boring' and that it 'wasn't as good as it used to be'. It happens basically every 10 or so years. I remember the early 2000s people were complaining all the time, then the late 2000s, early 2010s and now today. Each time people then say how 'it was better 5 years ago' and that is just how the sport works. Hence why I'm not overly hopeful 2021 is going to bring anything different.
We all have a our preferences to what we prefer and I understand how the sport works and that it isn't always about pure action on track. That's why I appreciate the subtleties of the sport, the strategy and everything else with it. We all have our differing viewpoints on what works better for the sport and what doesn't, which adds to the beauty of watching F1
Finally. This is great and long overdue news and extremely excited. Still have to say that I'm sad Hobart missed out in 2020
Queensland confirm Olympic bid for 2032

Mega BBL09 preview: Predicted XIs and how your team will go
I love your mention of a 'Penguins bandwagon'. I barely ever see Penguins supporters in Australia but they do exist. I think the difference between a 'Crosby bandwagoner' and say a 'LeBron bandwagoner' is that people actually stick with the one team and don't flip flop around. And plus Crosby seems like a genuine guy. So how can you not like him?
Walker getting in the starting line-up is a massive deal for him, and hopefully it can finally get him some traction and some stability in the NHL. The fact that the Australian media ignore his efforts is absolutely ridiculous. Him making the NHL is one of the biggest achievements in Australian sport and is so badly ignored.
This season is super intriguing and very hard to predict. Given how the playoffs turned out last year I for one am not exactly taking too much into account with how teams are sitting right now. And as a Flames and Ducks fan, I'm just hoping things can get a little bit better in this side of the support sphere…
Nobody predicted us to do well last season and we topped the league. Sure we choked in the semi but hey, that's what we do best at the Hurricanes: subvert expectations. Last year it was about being better than anybody thought, get that hype train going and then once again show the opposite of what was predicted.
Get on the purple army for 2019/20!
Hobart Hurricanes' elusive title hopes hinge on lesser lights
It certainly is random to play in this tournament but you're absolutely right about the experience on a global stage. It'll be great to see the Socceroos up against these teams and gain some valuable experience
The Socceroos at the Copa America is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
Where are the Canadians?! I'm sure they went off during the tournament!
Rating the fans at the Rugby World Cup
It's nice to read a balanced article about the Suns for once that doesn't just criticise them. They've struggled yes, but it would be interesting to see a comparative article on their first 9 seasons versus the Brisbane Bears first nine seasons. Perhaps that gives me an idea…
The decade that was: Gold Coast Suns
The official early season A-League report cards
How selfish of a captain to put the interest of the team ahead of an individual. My gosh! You're right! Sack him immediately!
Tim Paine must go
1. I think the main difference over people having that opinion is that the large majority of F1 fans can agree that this decade hasn't been the greatest. No decade has ever seen so limited amount of World Champions and such a dominance from one team/driver without any significant changes to curtail that. Two seasons of great fighting sure, but the remaining 8, not so much (with a few exceptions). The early 2000s were bemoaned for being boring but even then you had tight fights in 2000 and 2003 and then every other year turned out to be fantastic for title battles. This decade is just far too outweighed by the lacklustre.
2. Overtaking shouldn't be easy. That's my point. These are the best drivers in the world. They should fight for it and not be aided by something to help them do that. Watching them battle without any assistance is great and one of the reasons I watch this sport. I agree with you above about strategy being apart of it and I'm not one of these people who want the sport to increase overtaking for the show because it's not all about overtaking. But when it is, I prefer it to be natural and not aided.
3. Brazil rarely throws out a bad race. So yes, it is a perfect finale for the season.
4. I think the Dutch GP will have issues as the circuit is notoriously tight and difficult to overtake. Yes the atmosphere will be incredible, maybe the best we've ever seen. But sadly an atmosphere does not make a great race. Vietnam will be very interesting and I'm excited to see F1 enter a completely new territory.
5. I remember when Ricciardo came in and Webber was there too. That was the first time I ever got to experience having two Aussies in at once. I remember growing up we had no Aussies so getting Webber in was a massive deal. So having two Canadian drivers to me almost feels the same as having two Aussies in at once. It's exciting. And you will like Stroll one day I swear…

Review: "I Love London" by Mike Jupp, Gibsons — 9.5/10
Publisher: Gibsons (UK), 2013
Title: "I Love London" by Mike Jupp, 1000 pieces
Mike Jupp Week:
This week we're featuring puzzle artist, and massively talented cartoonist, Mike Jupp. I'll be reviewing two Mike Jupp puzzles this week. In addition, I have a lovely interview with the man himself I'll post on the weekend — which includes a sneak peek at one of his upcoming puzzles. Mike Jupp is best known in the puzzle world for his "I Love…" series of busy cartoon puzzles published by Gibsons.
Jigsaw Junkies past coverage of Mike Jupp puzzles
Mike Jupp on Puzzle Warehouse
Box Quality: (10/10)
The Gibsons boxes are of excellent quality–thick and exceptionally sturdy with a lovely design. You can see the front above. Most of their boxes (except for a few series like the Limited Edition Christmas puzzles) come in blue boxes. They make a gorgeous collection on the shelf. This 1000 piece box is rectangular in shape and measures 11.5″ x 16″.
On the front, they show the name of the puzzle and artist as well as the puzzle image. There is a logo for the "I Love" series, which is nice. However, it covers part of the image, which is not so nice. Fortunately, the back has a photo of the full image as well so you can see the area the logo covers on the front. I love that they have a bio of Mike Jupp on the back. Click on the photo below for a resolution you can read.
The box contains the bag of puzzle pieces–in excellent condition with no damaged pieces or puzzle lift–and a full color mini catalog from 2013. I love getting a catalog in the box. It's nice to see what else is on offer, and years later it helps you find puzzles that may be out of print.
The sides show a thumbnail of the complete puzzle image, the piece count, Gibsons logo, the "I Love" series logo, and the name of the puzzle and artist. I have all the "I Love…" puzzles and they look very nice shelved together with a short end facing out.
This box gets a perfect score for design, information, and durability!
Mike Jupp's "I Love…" series of puzzles are highly-detailed cartoon images that give a humorous spin to scenes from British life. You can see more of the series here.
"I Love London" is, as you might suspect, a cartoon parody about the city of London. There are characters anyone might recognize as quintessentially British such as Mary Poppins, Sherlock Holmes, London bobbies, and mohawked youth. Other sight gags will perhaps be best appreciated by those who actually live in London. But as a died in the wool Anglophile, and constant consumer of BBC dramas, I am particularly fond of this "I Love" image. (I also love Mike Jupp's "I Love Great Britain" for the same reason.)
The image is also nicely designed to be a puzzle. The red busses, white buildings, and blue sky create areas of the puzzle that can be attacked separately. And then there are all the little people in the scene. The box lid comes in handy for trying to figure out where the smaller detail goes.
Every bit of detail in this image is unique, has a little story or message, and is well thought-out. The art style is also very polished. There are no digital shortcuts and cut-and-pasting here! The line drawing is perfect and the coloring spot on. Clearly a great deal of time and effort went into this drawing. I've given this image a perfect 10 score.
Above: The complete puzzle. Click for a larger view.
Gibsons is one of my favorite brands, and I always know I'm going to get great quality. I am happy to buy any of their images. No other brand feels like a Gibsons. Their pieces are exceptionally thick and heavy, and I love the waxy tactile feel of the coating on top. It's a brand that is a pleasure to work with.
Like most European/UK brands, Gibsons puzzles have a traditional grid cut, as you can see in the detail close-up below. You can see our full brand comparison for Gibsons here. I have deducted 1 point for quality because of a persistent quirk of Gibsons–because they have a lot of 2-knob, 2-hole pieces which are quite similar, a piece can appear to fit where it doesn't actually go. This doesn't become apparent until you try to attach the 3rd or 4th adjacent piece. I've gotten used to that as part and parcel of Gibsons, which is a brand I love for their images and heavy-duty quality, so now I consider it simply a little extra challenge in the brand. However, in this particular puzzle that issue really didn't come up because there's so much fine detail and not a lot of random pattern or monotone color areas. Even the blue sky is broken up by birds, planes, and other detail.
Another thing I quite like about the Gibsons quality is the seamlessness of the piece cut. You can see the image rather than the cut, which is particularly important when an image has a lot of fine detail, like the "I Love" series. And finally, the image reproduction is superb. The fine lines of this drawing are sharp and clear and the colors are perfect. Click on the image below to see a closer view.
Above: The puzzle hangs together quite well and you can move sections without them falling apart.
This puzzle is typical of a "busy cartoon" puzzle in that you will want to work with the box lid a lot! There's so much detail going on in this image.
DAY ONE:
In a rectangular or square puzzle, I always do the border first. That way you have a 'frame' within which to anchor the other areas as they come together. I also began some of the easiest to recognize bits like the large British flag, the Gibsons logo, and the yellow pieces.
DAY TWO and THREE:
In most puzzles, there's an area that's left for the end — generally a color or texture that acts as a background or 'filler". That could be sky or snow or a lot of greenery or the 'dark areas'. But that wasn't really the case with this puzzle. Every areas is unique and there really is no 'filler'. I completed it in three sessions (I work puzzles in the evenings with the TV on, usually 2-3 hours each session). I'd say the puzzle is of easy-to-medium difficulty but no one area was difficult.
The easiest parts to tackle first are the sky, the white buildings, and the red buses. The sky has a gradient pattern plus lots of things 'in' it like airplanes, a UFO, birds, falling falling money, etc. So it's very easy to assemble.
The white buildings take up a fair amount of space in the puzzle, and it's good to get that section done because it anchors so many other sections. Fortunately, the white buildings have lots of small details that enable you to see where each piece goes. The windows, lintels, bricks, and, of course, birds and characters that overlay the white areas, all provide clues about where a piece fits.
The columns in the middle of the bank also help break up the white area.
Other buildings in the composition have unique shingles, signs, awnings, and window boxes. So much thought went into this image!
The other big area to tackle in assembly are the reds–the red buses, cars, and the red uniforms on the guards.
Above: The statue of the queen is one of my favorite details. Covered by pigeons, of course.
Having completed the blue sky, white buildings, and reds in my second session, the third and final session was filling in all the characters in the foreground. This felt a bit like 'dessert' because the characters are so much fun to look at. Each character has a unique face and outfit. You can look at the box to figure out where a character goes.
Overall, I've given assembly a 9 score. I really had fun with this puzzle but I've dinged 1 point for the very standard grid cut pieces (I prefer a random cut). In this puzzle I didn't have much of an issue with pieces looking like they fit where they don't actually go, because there weren't a lot of uniform areas of color of pattern.
Gibsons is a high-quality puzzle brand from the UK with beautiful blue boxes, very thick pieces, a standard grid cut, and a waxy matte finish. Their Mike Jupp series of "I Love…" puzzles are some of the best cartoon puzzles on the market. The art work is of exceptional quality and has a wealth of fine detail. "I Love London" is a comic look at the great city of London with a range of crazy characters. You'll have a lot of fun assembling this puzzle and getting a closer look at the sight gags and mini stories within the scene. Assembly is easy-to-moderate with no one area being especially difficult. You may find yourself referencing the box lid a lot! Recommended for anyone who likes cartoon puzzles and humor, or for those with a soft spot for London.

On December 30 NHK will show the drama "A Stranger in Shanghai" based on a trip to the city Ryunosuke Akutagawa made in 1921. Akutagawa was born in the Year of the Dragon, Month of the Dragon, Day of the Dragon, and Hour of the Dragon (March 1, 1892) so his mother named him Ryunosuke that means "Son of the Dragon".
From an early age he was interested in classical Chinese literature. In 1921 he took a break from his writing career to travel to China where he spent four months as a reporter for the Osaka Mainichi Shinbun. According to Wikipedia, "the trip was stressful and he suffered from various illnesses, from which his health would never recover."[1] During his time in China he visited many cities of southeastern China including Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou. "Before his travel, he wrote a short story 'The Christ of Nanjing' concerning the Chinese Christian community, according to his own imagination of Nanjing influenced by Chinese classical literature."[2]
I am looking forward to seeing the NHK drama for insight into Akutagawa and also because NHK went to great lengths and efforts to recreate Shanghai as it appeared almost 100 years ago. At the time the Manchu Dynasty long rule ended in 1911 with the creation of the Republic of China and election of Sun Yat-sen as president. Ten years later in 1921 the Communist Party was formed in Shanghai. At that time Shanghai was an international city where foreign countries had concessions, or districts which they controlled. The Bund is that area where many of the large foreign businesses had their large office buildings.

She's in the fight of her life
Cynthia Lee
At a crowded press conference held Aug. 23 in the lobby of the new Neuroscience Research Building, California's "big guns" from both political parties defended stem cell research from a new threat.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) shared the podium with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rep. David Dreier (R-San Dimas) and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to oppose legislation in Congress that would ban human cloning but also stop stem cell research in its tracks. Pro-research supporters are rallying 'round a counter measure introduced by Feinstein and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) that would also ban human cloning but would allow stem cell research to move forward.
While supporters cheered the speeches, many rose to their feet, some blinking back tears, to applaud a young woman who spoke eloquently for those with the greatest stake in this battle of political ideologies, religious convictions and medical science.
"I am not a governor or a senator or a famous researcher," said Candace Coffee, a UCLA graduate student in public health who has a rare and fatal autoimmune condition called Devic's disease. "But this legislation is about me."
If a cure is not found for her condition, she told the gathering, "it is likely that I will return to complete blindness, paralysis and the probability that I will die from respiratory failure. This is the truth I live with daily."
Over the last two years, Coffee, 26, has gone public with her disease to convince California voters to back the stem cell movement. As a volunteer, she has given countless talks, wrestled with voters' ethical questions, even made a TV commercial.
A former Miss Bakersfield with grand ambitions for a career on stage, Coffee once seemed to have it all: She won the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research and a fellowship at UC Irvine and graduated with honors in international studies and dance.
"I was very self-focused, very directed to doing my own thing, building my résumé. It was always me, me, me," she recounted. But the tables suddenly turned on her when she went to Tibet to do volunteer work and to travel.
"In one week's time, I went blind in my left eye," she said. After an infusion of steroids, she regained her sight only to later lose vision in her right eye. "A month later, I lost the left eye again as well as most of the use of my legs."
A form of multiple sclerosis, Devic's disease was eating away the myelin sheath protecting her central nervous system. For several months, she was totally blind, in excruciating pain and unable to walk without help. "I felt like I had a bad sunburn that was being scraped — my nerves were being exposed."
Steroids brought her a remission, although she still contends daily with stabbing headaches, constant nausea, fatigue and pain. She remains blind in one eye. And she was later diagnosed with lupus.
Nausea or pain sometimes forces her to leave class. "All my classmates know that I'm just sitting on the floor outside the door, listening to the lecture," she said. "Luckily, all my public health professors are understanding."
Although Coffee said Devic's has robbed her of spontaneity and her free-spirit lifestyle, it also gave her "a really good smack in the face," changed her priorities and led her to a career in public health to serve others. After her diagnosis, she went to work for a muscular dystrophy agency, setting up a clinic and support group.
Her post-graduation dream now is to open a comprehensive care center for women newly diagnosed with chronic diseases, a place where they can learn how to live — and die — well, she said.
"Being sick is frustrating, and it makes me angry," she said. "But at the same time, I've never been more at peace."

Haas 'to Do Our Best' in Moving Mick Schumacher 'Onto Bigger Things in Life'
Mick Schumacher will begin his journey in F1 sitting inside a Haas cockpit for 2021. The F2 champion was signed by Haas last month after he clinched his trophy at Bahrain. Nearly a month later, team principal Guenther Steiner admitted that while having Mick is an honor, there is also considerable pressure.
Haas has taken up the responsibility of launching the son of the great Michael Schumacher into F1. The team is considerably young and still prone to several mistakes. Thus, Steiner's concern is they would not want to be uncertain about the future of the German protege.
"To have [Mick] is actually an honor, but it comes with a lot of pressure as well. I'm fully aware of that and not under any illusions. We will do our best to fulfill our duty to move him onto bigger things in life.
"To get his [Michael] son in is fantastic, and I think it is an honor for us. I think for a young team, we do things right and we do things wrong, but we always try to do our best whatever it is," reckoned Steiner.

F2 title will help Mick Schumacher in F1
Haas is gearing up with all its might for the 2021 season. Lining up Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin, the team plans to set a better score than last year. The new regulations serve as a huge incentive to them and hopefully, Ferrari can serve as a better power unit sponsor this time. With revised strategies for the new year, Steiner appears optimistic.
Steiner has high hopes from Mick. The young German will step onto the track with a championship under his belt. This is bound to boost his confidence during his initial days in the grid, and from there on, he is capable enough to pick up the nuances of the game.
"It is a big statement, and I think it is good for the confidence level of anybody to win a championship as competitive as F2 was [in 2020]. Like every championship, you have good years when it is more competitive and years when it is less [competitive].
"I think [2020] was a very competitive one. It was fought over until the last race. For him, coming in as a champion will give him that initial confidence when he may be struggling in F1 because everything is new," concluded Steiner.
Hopefully, these assumptions reach fruition, and Mick can actually start his career with a bang. He will need Haas' help and if the team is ready, they can achieve big things together.

ANGELIQUE ELLIS
World-renowned artist David Thorpe, 66, who recently returned to Hout Bay after living in Plettenberg Bay, hopes to get all of Hout Bay painting and draw- ing.
He previously lived in Empire Avenue in Hout Bay between 1976 and 1979 before moving to Plettenberg Bay.
Mr Thorpe has had a lu- crative career as an artist. Some of his accolades include being the art director of Topsport, Huisgenoot, Fair Lady and Cosmopolitan magazines. He has also helped to produce the largest visual art bank in the world and was involved with the illustrations in a coffee table book. His art hangs in hundreds of homes around South Africa, Australia, the UK, Germany, Holland and America.
Over the years, Mr Thorpe has continued to paint and exhibit. "I am constantly painting, but what I really want to do is teach art," he says. He returned to Hout Bay to be closer to his daughter and granddaughter and have access to more galleries, as there aren't many in Plettenberg Bay.
He specialises in oil, water colours and acrylic painting and has inspired hundreds of students over the years through his work and art les- sons.
"The people I usually teach are those who feel they have a need to express themselves through art.
"They don't necessarily have to have any artistic ability, but I begin with the basics such as drawing objects through methods I have learnt over the years.
"It is not about talent, it's about certain things you need to know before you draw. It's amazing to see people who never thought they could draw, producing fantastic work in just two to three months. That's the enjoyment I get out of it. I try to tailor the courses around what students would like to draw or paint".
His work is being exhibited at the Cape Gallery in Church Street, Cape Town. He does commissions and is passionate about painting pictures of the interiors of homes.
To learn more about David Thorpe's classes and his art, call 082 3788 065, email davidthorpe 059@gmail.com or you can visit www.davidthorpe.co.za

3 Hadoop Analytics Tools Summary
Most Important Hadoop Analytics Tools in 2020 – Take a Lunge into Analytics
Study different Hadoop Analytics tools for analyzing Big Data and generating insights from it. Hadoop is an open-source framework developed by the Apache Software Foundation for storing, processing, and evaluating big data. The aim of designing Hadoop was to build a reliable, cost-effective, highly available framework that effectively stores and processes the data of varying formats and sizes.
In this tutorial, we will study the various Hadoop Analytics tools. The article enlists the top analytics tools used for processing or analyzing big data and generating insights from it.
Let us now explore popular Hadoop analytics tools.
1. Apache Spark
Apache Spark is a popular open-source unified analytics engine for big data and machine learning. Apache Software Foundation developed Spark for speeding up the Hadoop big data processing. Apache Spark extends the Hadoop MapReduce model to use efficiently for more types of computations like interactive queries, stream processing, etc. Apache Spark allows batch, real-time, and advanced analytics over the Hadoop platform. Apache Spark offers in-memory data processing for the developers and the data scientists
Spark has become the default execution engine for workloads such as batch processing, interactive queries, and streaming, etc.
Companies like Netflix, Yahoo, eBay, and many more, have deployed Spark at a huge scale.
Features of Apache Spark:
• Speed: The powerful processing engine permits Spark to process the data rapidly on a large-scale. Apache Spark can run applications in Hadoop clusters 100 times faster in memory and ten times faster on the disk.
• Ease of use: Apache Spark can work with various data stores (such as OpenStack, HDFS, Cassandra) due to which it provides more flexibility than Hadoop. It supports both real-time and batch processing and offers high-level APIs in Java, Scala, Python, and R.
• Generality: It contains a stack of libraries, including MLlib for machine learning, SQL and DataFrames, GraphX, and Spark Streaming. We can combine these libraries in the same application.
• Runs Everywhere: Spark can run on Hadoop, Kubernetes, Apache Mesos, standalone, or in the cloud.
2. MapReduce
MapReduce is the heart of Hadoop. It is a software framework for writing applications that process large datasets in parallel across hundreds or thousands of nodes on the Hadoop cluster.
Hadoop divides the client's MapReduce job into many independent tasks that run in parallel to give throughput. The MapReduce job is divided into map task and reduce task. Programmers generally write the entire business logic in the map task and state light-weight processing like aggregation or summation on the reduce task. The MapReduce framework works in two phases- The map phase and the Reduce phase. The input to both the phases is the key-value pair.
Features of Hadoop MapReduce:
Scalable: The MapReduce framework is scalable. Once we write a MapReduce program, we can easily expand it to work over a cluster having hundreds or even thousands of nodes.
Fault-tolerance: It is highly fault-tolerant. It automatically recovers from failure.
3. Apache Impala
Apache Impala is an open-source tool that disables the slowness of Apache Hive. Apache Impala is a local analytic database for Apache Hadoop. With Impala, we can query data stored either in HDFS or HBase in real-time. It uses the same metadata, ODBC driver, SQL syntax, and user interface as Apache Hive, thus offering a well-known and uniformed platform for batch or real-time queries. We can integrate Apache Impala with Apache Hadoop and other BI tools to provide a cost-effective platform for analytics.
Features of Impala:
Security: It is integrated with Hadoop security, and Kerberos thus ensures security.
Expand the Hadoop user: With Apache Impala, users using SQL queries or BI applications can interrelate with more data through metadata store from the source through analysis.
Scalability: It scales linearly, even in multi-tenant environments.
In-memory data processing: Apache Impala supports in-memory data processing means that without any data movement, Impala easily accesses and evaluates the data stored on Hadoop DataNodes. Therefore, it reduces cost due to reduced data movement, modeling, and storage.
Faster Access: Impala provides faster access to data when compared to other SQL engines.
Easy Integration: We can integrate Apache Impala with BI tools like Tableau, Pentaho, Zoom data, etc.
4. Apache Hive
Apache Hive is a java based data warehousing tool developed by Facebook for analyzing and processing large data. Apache Hive uses HQL(Hive Query Language) alike to SQL that is transformed into MapReduce jobs for processing huge volumes of data. Apache Hive offers support for developers and analytics to query and evaluate big data with SQL like queries(HQL) without writing the complex MapReduce jobs.
Users can interrelate with the Apache Hive through the command line tool (Beeline shell) and JDBC driver. With Apache Hive, one can evaluate or query the huge volumes of data stored in Hadoop HDFS without writing complex MapReduce jobs.
Features of Apache Hive:
• Apache Hive supports client-application written in any language like Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, and C++.
• Hive generally uses RDBMS as metadata storage, which considerably reduces the time taken for the semantic check.
• Hive Partitioning and Bucketing improves query performance.
• Hive is fast, scalable, and extensible.
• It supports Online Analytical Processing and is an efficient ETL tool.
• It provides support for User Defined Function to support use cases that are not supported by Built-in functions.
5. Apache Mahout
Apache Mahout is an open-source framework that generally runs together with the Hadoop infrastructure at its background to manage huge volumes of data. The name Mahout is derived from the Hindi word "Mahavat," which means the rider of an elephant. As Apache Mahout runs algorithms on the top of the Hadoop framework, thus named as Mahout.
We can use Apache Mahout for implementing scalable machine learning algorithms on the top of Hadoop using the MapReduce paradigm. It is a library of the scalable machine learning algorithm. Formerly, Mahout uses the Apache Hadoop platform, but now it focuses more on Apache Spark. Apache Mahout is not restricted to the Hadoop based implementation; it can run algorithms in the standalone mode as well.
Mahout implements famous machine learning algorithms such as Classification, Clustering, Recommendation, Collaborative filtering, etc.
Features of Mahout:
• It works well in the distributed environment since its algorithms are written on the top of Hadoop. It uses the Hadoop library to scale in the cloud.
• Mahout offers a ready-to-use framework to the coders for performing data mining tasks on large datasets.
• Apache Mahout lets the application to quickly evaluate the large datasets.
• Apache Mahout includes various MapReduce enabled clustering applications such as Canopy, Mean-Shift, K-means, fuzzy k-means.
• It also includes vectors and matrix libraries.
• Apache Mahout exposed various Classification algorithms such as Naive Bayes, Complementary Naive Bayes, and Random Forest.
Pig is an alternative approach to make MapReduce job easier. Yahoo developed Pig to provide ease in writing the MapReduce. Pig enables developers to use Pig Latin, which is a scripting language designed for pig framework that runs on Pig runtime. Pig Latin is SQL like commands that are converted to MapReduce program in the background by the compiler. Apache Pig translates the Pig Latin into MapReduce program for performing large scale data processing in YARN.
Pig works by loading the commands and the data source. Then we perform several operations like sorting, filtering, joining, etc. At last, based on the requirement, the results are either dumped on the screen or stored back to the HDFS.
Features of Pig:
Extensibility: Users can create their function for performing specific purpose processing.
Solving complex use cases: Pig is best suited for solving complex use cases that include multiple data processing having multiple imports and exports.
Handles all kinds of data: Structured and Unstructured can be easily analyzed or processed using Pig.
Optimization Opportunities: In Pig, the execution of the task gets automatically optimized by the task itself. Thus programmers need to focus on semantics rather than efficiency.
It provides a platform for building data flow for ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load), processing, and analyzing massive data sets.
7. HBase
HBase is an open-source distributed NoSQL database that stores sparse data in tables consisting of billions of rows and columns. It is written in Java and modeled after Google's big table. HBase provides support for all kinds of data and built on top of Hadoop. Apache HBase is used when we need to search or retrieve a minimal amount of data from large data sets.
For example: If we are having billions of customer emails and we need to find out the customer name who has used the word replace in their emails. The request needs to be processed quickly, and for such problems, HBase was designed.
There are two main components in HBase. They are:
• HBase Master: HBase Master negotiates load balancing across the region server. It is not the actual data storage. It controls the failover, maintains, and monitors the Hadoop cluster.
• Region Server: Region Server is the worker node that handles the read, write, update, and delete requests from the clients. Region Server runs on the DataNode in HDFS.
Features of HBase:
Scalable storage.
It Supports fault-tolerant features.
Support for real-time search on sparse data.
Support easily consistent read and writes.
8. Apache Storm
A storm is an open-source distributed real-time computational framework written in Clojure and Java.

Recently I've been having conversations about PrEP with clients of ASGCC. And when I tell people this, they sometimes ask: why are you talking to poz guys about PrEP?
Here's my theory: PrEP affects us all. If you are a sexually active HIV+ gay man, odds are you're going to start hearing about it. And I'd bet money that if you're out there dating or meeting guys for hook ups, you've in the past experienced stigma and discrimination based on your HIV status.
"Negative as of May 2014. On Truvada, or PrEP.
"Hey guys. Don't use terms like 'D&D Free'. Or 'Clean'.
What do you think that implies to HIV+ guys? That they're 'dirty'?
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a medication (Truvada) which has been used for years to treat HIV, and is now being prescribed for prevention of HIV in HIV- individuals. Many insurance plans now cover PrEP – and the drug company will often cover costs for a year's worth of meds for those who don't have insurance coverage.
If you have questions about PrEP, call me or drop me an email (dgates@asgcc.org / 508-487-9445). And if you know someone who'd like to start PrEP, ASGCC's UNIT 10 can help facilitate that with a medical provider (call UNIT 10 at 508-487-8311).

A 'sea tractor' harvests and replants carbon-capturing seaweed at this floating farm
In a series of floating seaweed farms off the coast of Bali, Indonesia, a catamaran travels back and forth through lines of dangling red algae. Custom technology on board automatically harvests and replants the seaweed, which quickly grows several feet long. The system is designed to help the tiny seaweed industry scale up—and to capture some of seaweed's potential to help fight climate change.
"Agriculture on the sea is in its infancy," says Shrikumar Suryanarayan, cofounder and managing director of Sea6 Energy, the India-based company that designed the "Seacombine," the tractor-like machine now in use at its Indonesian seaweed farm. The company just announced a new $9 million funding round, led by Aqua-Spark, an investment firm focused on sustainable aquaculture. There's growing interest in seaweed farming now in part because of seaweed's ability to absorb carbon: Macroalgae like seaweed can grow as quickly as two feet a day, sucking up CO2 much faster than trees (and unlike forests, seaweed doesn't face risks from drought or fire). While some projects aim to permanently sequester that carbon by sinking seaweed to the ocean floor, the algae can also be used to make products, from fish feed to human food. Grown at a large scale, seaweed could replace some of the crude oil used to make jet fuel or plastic. But it's been so expensive to grow that it can't compete with fossil fuels.

There is a new research paper out by Wes Gray and Jack Vogel that is interesting not only to momentum investors but to all investors and researchers. The paper is "Using Maximum Drawdown to Capture Tail Risk." In it, Wes and Jack show that academic anomalies, identified by linear factor models (alpha), are often not great trading strategies.
Wes and Jack select eleven long/short anomalies from academic literature and show that a number of them, despite positive alphas and attractive Sharpe ratios, show very large drawdowns that would likely trigger margin calls and investor withdrawals at inopportune times. Six of the eleven strategies have drawdowns exceeding 50%, the three worst being 86.1%, 84.7%, and 83.5%. (Long/short stock momentum is the one with an 86% drawdown.).
Some researchers look at the Sortino ratio, which divides excess return by downside rather than total variability like the Sharpe ratio. Incorporating upside variability may be useful though, especially when evaluating investment opportunities with similar downside volatility. Neither the Sharpe nor the Sortino ratio considers the full extent of downside exposure in the extreme left tail of a distribution..
Wes and Jack say it is important for researchers and investors to consider this tail risk. They suggest looking at the maximum peak-to-valley loss (drawdown) associated with a time series as a relatively easy way to do this. They have an explanatory video on their Turnkey Analyst blog, along with the Excel VBA macro code and a spreadsheet for calculating maximum drawdown.
Of course, maximum drawdown is not perfect as a risk measure. It is not amenable to traditional statistical analysis, such as confidence intervals. (But given the stochastic nature of financial markets, traditional statistical analysis may not be so accurate anyway.) Maximum drawdown is also time dependent – the longer a track record, the more likely that maximum drawdown will increase. Drawdown frequency, as well as magnitude, is also important. Furthermore, maximum drawdown shows only a single past event that may be a chance occurrence and not representative of what the future may bring.
Wes and Jack have done a service in showing how the usual ways of evaluating investment opportunities, such as alpha and Sharpe ratios, can be seriously lacking. Neither alpha, nor standard deviation, nor maximum drawdown, represent a complete measure of investment risk.
Maximum drawdown is good in that it gives some indication of extreme tail risk. However, I also look more broadly at strategy drawdown versus benchmarks drawdown under a variety of adverse conditions.
I examine interquartile ranges and extreme outliers using box plots of the data. You can see all four of these methods at work in my dual momentum paper. I hope other researchers catch on soon and start presenting more than just Sharpe ratio or alpha as their objective function. These often mean little on their own in terms of true risk exposure. Tail risk is important to investors, and it should also matter to researchers.

Convicted Lincolnshire bigamist spared jail for second time
She has been given a suspended sentence.
Faith Jenkinson has been given a suspended sentence. Photo: Steve Daniels
A convicted bigamist from Lincolnshire who breached her sentence by falsely claiming benefits while living with a new partner has been given a second suspended jail term.
Faith Jenkinson, 45, was given a four month suspended jail sentence in September 2015 after she went through with a lavish country house wedding in Branston despite failing to complete divorce proceedings from her first marriage 16 years earlier.
Faith Jenkinson also falsely claimed £8,000 in benefits. Photo: Steve Daniels
But Jenkinson was committed back to Lincoln Crown Court on Friday after it was discovered that she had been falsely claiming over £8,000 in housing benefit and income support while living with a new man, Steven Robinson, in Gainsborough.
Jenkinson, who appeared in court under her new surname of Robinson, admitted two charges of failing to disclose a change in her circumstances relating to income support and housing benefit.
Edna Leonard, prosecuting, told the court Robinson falsely claimed £3,223.56 in housing benefit and £5,672.69 income support between May 2014 and November 2015.
Miss Leonard said: "The investigation began with Mr Robinson being observed coming and going from the property, and there were then investigations in to her bank account.
"The breach of the suspended sentence is in relation to an offence of bigamy. That bigamist marriage took place on October 17, 2010."
The court heard Robinson pleaded guilty to the benefit offences when she appeared before Lincoln Magistrates' Court on August 24.
Miss Leonard added: "Clearly the matter would have remained in the magistrates court if it wasn't for the breach of the suspended sentence."
David Eager, mitigating, told the court Robinson had already paid back much of the overpayed benefits.
Mr Eager said the breach of the suspended sentence also only applied to a few months between September and November 2015.
"They both related to partners, but it would be unjust to activate the suspended sentence," Mr Eager argued.
Passing sentence Recorder Jacob Hallam QC told Robinson that on balance he could avoid an immediate jail sentence.
The Recorder sentenced Robinson to five months imprisonment suspended for 24 months but warned her: "Don't come back."
Robinson, now of Hollowgate Hill, Willoughton, was also ordered to carry out 180 hours of unpaid work in the community.
Recorder Hallam explained: "For somebody who has taken what you did the starting point is a medium level community order, some unpaid work.
"You have to your credit paid back quite alot of the money already.
"But you know for a small period of this offence you were subject to a suspended sentence of imprisonment for a different kind of offence, although there was some overlap relating to your domestic situation.
"Baring in mind the period of time and your otherwise good character, balancing the competing factors I can pass a sentence that does mean you will go to prison today."
The bigamy was exposed by Andrew Asher, her intended husband from the Grantham area, three years after he married Jenkinson at Branston Hall Hotel in the Autumn of 2010.
Jenkinson, a former police civilian worker and health and safety consultant, was questioned by officers and admitted that divorce proceedings to her first husband, Michael Ulatowski, 52, had never been formally completed.
Judge John Pini, QC, allowed Jenkinson to walk free from court in September 2015 after accepting she was confused about her marital status rather than acting for financial gain or immigration purposes.
She was sentenced to a suspended four-month prison term and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.
