When it comes to trying to get yourself noticed and listened to in the world of business, you'll probably end up having to write a project proposal every once in a while.
Or, let's say you're a marketing agency. If a potential client approaches you and asks how'd you'd handle a project with them, you can't just eat up all their time and start talking for hours.
For both cases, what you'd need is a project proposal – a document that describes what, exactly, the project entails, what's the budget, timelines, etc. So as you could have guessed, nailing a project proposal can be what stands between you and a promotion.
If you're wondering what's the difference between a winning and losing project proposal, we're here to help!
Before you even start writing a project proposal, you'll have to put a lot of thought into the preparation. You've probably had a conversation with your boss or client until that point, and they might have even liked the idea.
What marketing strategies have you tried before?
Did you succeed? Lost? What was the ROI?
What are your current sales metrics, and what are your goals for the campaign?
What's your budget for ad spend, and what type of ROI do you expect?
Or, you could be an individual working in a corporation, with an ambition to improve the efficiency of the department you're working on.
For the sake of the example, let's say you're carrying out a Business Process Reengineering (BPR) initiative. BPR means that you're going to take an old, inefficient process & re-create it from scratch using some sort of new methodology or technology.
In that case, you'd want to question the employees working with that specific process. They might have a lot of insight on how you could go about the entire project.
Prepared By – Who has the lead on the creation of the proposal?
Attached Documents – Any supporting documents for the project. Projected metrics, budgeting, etc.
Project Leads – Other company employees that'll take part in the initiative.
Project Summary – General information on the background of the project, goals you're trying to achieve, etc. Of course, this has to be a summary, and thus concise, mentioning only the most essential information.
Methodology – In this section you need to start off by describing the overall approach you will take, followed by a step-by-step guide to the methodology being used, how potential problems will be addressed, etc. The section should also include a breakdown of the work with estimated completion time in the form of a schedule. You could use some project management methodology to help with this, such as the PERT chart. Finally, detail the deliverables that the client will receive and the delivery dates.
Risk Management – This needs to include an action plan for how risks will be identified and minimized as well as what the potential cost to the project would be.
Costs – Here you need to detail the budget line-by-line with accompanying narrative when required to ensure clients understand the reasoning behind your costings.
Conclusion – This needs to be a concise summary of all of the key points from above, focusing on the positives and what you can deliver.
This is an area of the project proposal that is critical to get right. When talking about timings, you need to balance the desire to impress the client with the speed at which you'll be delivering, with the need to not immediately put yourself under pressure to deliver to unrealistic deadlines.
If you allow yourself too much time you will look like a rank amateur, so the balance is key. You need to give the estimate of your time for the project but should also break it down into a timeline to give the client as much information as they might need to help them pick you.
This is where you really need to do the hard sell in your project proposal, as you explain why you are the right person or company to deliver the project and what you will do differently, beyond the timescale and price tag.
You need to focus on the objective, what problem it is solving, what the potential is of it to change their business for the better, and it's important to combine the practical with the aspirational. If you can estimate what the outcomes will be, both in the short term and long term, you will have the chance of capturing the imagination of the decision makers.
At this point, it's essential to take stock of what you have written so far and assess how fit for purpose it is. Think about who you are writing for, what kind of business it is and what kind of relationship you have with the key figures.
This will dictate the way you write and how you present your proposal, so revisit the crucial information you have written so far and re-assess whether there is a better or more appropriate and engaging way of doing it.
When you have laid out what you will do, when you do and how much you will charge, you need to make your closing arguments for why you are the right choice.
You may well get the chance to make this final pitch in person, in which case what you write here is a dry run for how you'll present it (or a transcript to look back to). You should, however, have a clear vision in your head before you can hope to sell it to a prospective client.
An important thing to include in your conclusion is a call to action, explaining what they need to do to kick things off with the project, offering positive affirmation without sounding over-confident about your chances of winning the job.
When you've finished adding to your proposal, it's time to thoroughly sense and spell check. Make sure there are no typos or clumsy spelling mistakes and take out anything that reads like jargon or unnecessary padding.
Make sure it is laid out in a professional and easy-to-read layout and it represents you in the best way possible. When you are happy with it, you will have a project proposal that will not let you down.
If you followed all the steps correctly, you probably just landed yourself a new project. Congratulations!
Before you start carrying out the project, however, you might need to work out a new document – the project charter.

One of the other really cool things about you con us that we're one of the on ly universities in the United States toe offer a puppetry program. Yeah, like puppets. Like like they're puppets, Cyril puppets. And I mean in stores, and there's a little there's like an exhibit or you can see the puppets and you can see some of the shows and I'm walking, not in the crosswalk, which is another thing that students do. They like to walk on the mill road without looking. We don't know why, but it happens so you can walk in. You compare a small feet and you can check out, you know, some of the puppets that they have and learn about the history of it. So this is the area in front of the library, the Homer Babbage library. And as you can see, there's a large steel right in the middle. Now, legend has it. If you walk on that seal, you won't graduate in four years. But you know what? I've seen a lot of people walk on there. I'm not sure how true that is, but I personally, yeah, I'm not gonna take a chance. So I mean, you can see there's a lot of people walking through here because this connects to Fairfield Way, which is basically like the main road between union and a lot of different buildings. So a lot of times you'll find yourself walking back and forth, up and down. If you go that way, you'll see Gampel. They're kind of like a big dummy thing. And the library is where a lot of people are Okay, so right now we're at the edge of merely which, even though it looks really beautiful right now, it's actually really gross. So I would not advise you go swimming in it. Don't fish in it. You might, you know, come out glowing, not careful, but it is really pretty. And it's a really iconic landmark. And, you know, if you're lost around here, you can almost always find near Lake and then from there, find where we need to go over there is, uh, my honor storms, Buckley and, um, shifty. And then right next to it is store center. But we'll get over there later. We have our iconic gratitude swing, which I mean, if you're a student here, you've probably been here. And if you come and tour, definitely, this is someone that you could stop. It's a very, very good for picture taking, especially right now, because it's December. They have it all lit up in trees and we're gonna come back here later because I really want to see the light. But a lot of people will come here when it's nice out, and now put down a picnic blanket and come meet up with friends and have, uh, study dates and play Frisbee. So it's really like it's It's an awesome place to be. There's also a little walkway over there that'll get you out to the main road and basically I like to think this is like one of the most iconic. I am your falling again and she's gonna tell us a little bit about the Puerto Rican Latin American Cultural Center. You want to talk a little bit about that, all right. So the Puerto Rican, that American Culture Center is definitely like one of my favorite spots on campus. You don't need to be like pretty recon or Latino or Hispanic to like be there. There's literally just like a program. Room also has liked couches and tables. You could, like, go there, study. You can go there to take naps. I definitely know. People have taken maps and barely in between classes they host, like a ton of different activities that are open to everyone there also associated with like a ton of associate, like student run associations on campus, for example, like a part of person, which is the Puerto Rican Student Association. And we also hold like a ton of different activities. Um, they definitely, like, want to make everybody feel comfortable. And I'm not just thinking about the Puerto Rican that American, uh, cross cultural center. Like all the calls, cultural centers want you to feel welcome. Even if you do Gnarly lake, identify yourself with that culture. Like they're definitely, like, really open. They also have, like, different programs where thank you could have mentors. Are they even, like, offer the opportunities to study abroad? Like I had no idea they did that tow, like, earlier this muster. But yeah, they definitely they're just there to help you. And you could go there for anything you want. Awesome. Well, thank you so much, So we're kicking off this tour at the Student Union Theater. And so every single week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, they will show movies. So right here, they have a movie on Friday and then, usually they'll have a first run film. So it's the first time that it's in theaters here, but sometimes also have classic movies. So you can come see. And on Fridays there's free. They have showings at eight and eleven p. M. And then on Thursdays and Saturdays. I think it's like three dollars As long as you have, You can. I d So this is a really great place to come and kind of kill some time, Maddie right now, all right, and now we're gonna kind of walk further down here. Once you pass the student union theater, you're also gonna pass Chuck it Augie's, which is like a fancy restaurant. And after three PM they actually accept points. And then right next to that is the dairy bar. And it's like an extension of the famous Yukon Dairy Bar that everybody who really, really loves. Like when you come here, try be a scream like please, that is honestly, I think this game is one of things that that sealed the deal for me. Then you also have different lounges. They have a commuter lounge. They have a lounge for graduate students. They have this one here with the giant Christmas tree. And if, in fact, is that the student union that we're walking through right now was actually built on the outside of the original student union. So if you look right here above me, you kind of see the outside of what the building used to be. And they just basically said, You know, we don't want to break it down We don't wanna have to build a new one. It's just build one outside of it. So that's one thing that I always found really cool. I mean, there's brick walls all original. They just kind of cleaned it up and put another building around it. If I'm having trouble breathing, it's because I like to walk too fast and I do it a lot. But it's fine. It's fine. So now we're walking over here. They also have a game room, which I think you actually have to pay for the games. Just kind of a bummer, but really cool. They were bowling alley back there. Um, and depending on what you want to do, you can also rent out the game room for the day. They have, like, game consoles. They have, like, the wee they have Xbox. PlayStation? Yeah, pool table. And now we're walking down the stairs and we're going over into the maid section, so all kind of flip you around so you can see the heart of the All right, right here on the outer patio of the library, and you can clearly see a laurel hall right in front of us. And there are tons of costumes in there, lecture halls that a lot of people use. And then right in front of me, right here is the building, which also has a lot of classrooms and lecture halls inside of it. And if you look over there, you can see some construction for a new rec center, which is shoot the cold when we almost three times the size, the one that we have right now, it's just really impressive. And there are many things super cool rock wall and lots of other features that were A bit of Buckley dining hall, which, honestly, I feel like it's one of the first time. That's just mean. Here. Oh. No right. Super sorry. Work. Oh, these are ecology free one. It's for you. Then they have. Bagel in station. Great. Over there. They have today. Hi. How are you? Kind of just like your face. Got milk. Great cereal juice, have a salad and a sandwich the way out. It's definitely different than most, uh, dining car because there are only long tables in here, so it forces interaction. I think it's funny. A lot of the other dining halls don't have that. You have several tables, but here the long people's a thinker in French Tio encourage them Hi. What's your name? Hi Am. Paulina matches right. And where you from? I'm from Puerto Rico. All right. And are you a freshman? Awesome. Can you tell me why you chose Yukon? Um, actually chose it because I lived in Connecticut when I was little and I, like, knew the area on DH People that live on the East Coast. Like, really underestimate how pretty it actually is here. Like, I actually found it so pretty whenever I came here. And you can't actually got, like, the most perfect on m cat like that's ever happened this past year. And I want to study medicine. So that was also, like, a really big thing for me. So So you mentioned you like how pretty it is. Now, would you describe the student body is pretty, um, moving. Everybody is gorgeous. Yeah, there's definitely like like people hang out with their own groups and stuff. And I'd say everyone in generals like, really nice, like everyone's always like, I don't know, I've never I've never had someone like be really rude to me or something or just, like openly, like not want to be my friend or something. They'll always be, like, really nice, even if you don't hang out with him, right? People really don't push you into anything, right? Not really. So can you describe, like, your typical Friday night for me? Um, usually, like my Friday nights could either go like two ways. Either I, like, stay in, watch a movie, like do face math with some friends or we, like, go out to a frat party. Um, like there are gonna be like drugs and alcohol there, But like, they really do not pressure you into doing anything like you. You can literally, just, like, go there to have a good time. Wait. Everything everyone's like, really accepting. That's awesome. Um and do you feel like Greek life is really important on campus? Do you feel like a lot of people are in Greek life, or is it just kind of like there. Um, actually, I'm feel like Greek life is a big thing when it comes to lake parties and stuff. Like, if you want to, like, socialized, Warren gets meat more people. Um, but you could definitely, like, do it without Greek life, if you like. Personally, I'm not in a sorority and like it, say, like, I have a ton of friends and stuff. But I also do know, like a lot of people that met so many more like friends through their stories or they're frauds. And I have friends that are in them, and they, like, love it. So it definitely depends like what you're into. Okay, awesome. And lets talk a little bit about food. Can you talk about, like, your favorite places to eat and and where you end up going over and over or what you don't like? Um, I definitely have to say that I a lot at the union. They have, like, amazing pasta and lake burritos. Wow. I'm always said, like, all my meal plan points, they're currently can't go there because I don't have enough points anymore. Um, but yeah, like, also able that I go to the dining halls, and some of them are definitely better than others.

Um, so can you tell me like your favorite parts about you, Clon and your least favorite parts about Yukon? My favorite part's about you. God, I would definitely have to be like, um Okay, I'm gonna go two ways with this. Um, I say like how pretty it is. Like absolutely, like, look like the sunsets here. Like, crazy pretty lake there there likes. Yeah, I feel like really pretty. And I love walking by Mary Lake and right now, since it's Christmas, like they have a tree, like completely lit up. And I find that absolutely gorgeous. And I, like, love it, um and like socially and definitely have to say that I love, like, the cultural centers, because I'm a really big part of, like, the Puerto Rican, that American Culture Center. And I don't know, I met, like so many friends through there, definitely like one of my favorite places. On campus. That's awesome. And is there anything that you wish? Maybe it was a little bit better about Yukon, something I wish was better about Yukon. It's saying. Food organization in the sense of I don't really know where I'm going with its far really, like, uh, food and some dining halls are definitely a lot better than other is like a priority. Some dining halls more than others. Um, let's say a lot of professors, like I wouldn't say a lot of them. Like, they always, like, Want to get to know you, but some claps. Some professors aren't really like that into what they're teaching, so they'll be, like, pretty tired about it. Besides that. I don't really I mean, I know a lot of people say that the wind is Oh, yeah, the wind is terrible. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I completely forgot about that part. Yeah, the one who's really bad, like the entire campus is just, like, one huge wind tunnel. And Yeah, I mean, I've managed to survive, like you will never see me without a scar. But like you, Khun, survive here. Like if I could make the transition. You guys definitely Ray. And what has been your favorite class and why my favorite class? Um okay. I'd say, um, content. Why's it have to be philosophy and gender? Because it's just like a small like discussion were about seventeen students. And everyone's like talking about the article we were supposed to read for the week. And you just learned so much like, honestly you like. It's such an open minded class. And the professor, the professor's like he's so into and you just like really, really want, engage more in the class like, absolutely loved it. Also have another professor that's, like, immensely, like, adorable. I had his class today, and like all we do is like, discuss different topics of paper, like different papers and about different topics in his class. And like, he was literally saying, Holly, we never really got to know him too well, but he was saying, like, Oh, yeah, if you if you like everyone a letter recommendation, please. Just like if you could find my office, I promise I will say yes, like write you a letter of recommendation. And he was like, like, the sweetest person ever. That's awesome. And you mentioned earlier that you're in your store center? How do you feel about the town? Do you like it? I like absolutely love store center, like earlier this week. And they were doing like, a ton of Christmas activities, and I have no idea about. And it was literally like, the cuties thing. I worry like it was like a stereotypical, uh, like cute town Christmas, not festival. Because it wasn't really a big thing. But, like, I don't know, they were like kids running around with their parents. Like joking around there were, like, Christmas carolers. Uh, there's like a high school right next to the school. They're like marching. Band was playing there. Um, they had, like, uh, a couple activity is there for the kids. It was like, set. It's like the set up was, like, completely decorated. And it was so pretty, like, absolutely loved it. That's awesome. Um, and can you tell me your major? Um, right now, I'm psychology, but I want to switch in tow PNB, which is physiology in neurobiology. Okay, awesome. And do you feel like there are a lot of class options for you? Um, I'd actually say they're like, There's so many classes like it's hard to pick from them. Definitely. Like, uh, the more credits you come in, you come in with, like, the easier it's gonna be creator. Like, choose the classes you want because they do, like, priority, like, have seniority with people that have, like, more credits. But, like, definitely, There's so many classes for me. Two for you to choose from. Like gold. Never be. You'll never have, like, an empty slot, like, Oh, yeah. I have no idea what you like. You will find something to put their right All right. And can you give me one piece of advice that you would give Teo a prospective student or somebody who has been accepted? Um, if you still have the opportunity, I'd definitely say take AP classes because, like, people don't really understand how how having more credits can really help you in college. And I regret, like, not taking more, because depending like, how many credit to you have you can, like, pick housing first. You can pick your classes first. Like, honestly, it helps you on so many levels. Uh, but if you're, like, already accepted, you're already a senior, I definitely say, just like, um, choose wherever you feel the most, most comfortable. Like, honestly, like I love the campus whenever I came to visit. If you don't feel like that connection like you're not going to thrive like I'd say, like, choose where you feel most comfortable and where you feel like most happy and where you, like, see the most opportunities that you could have. Awesome. Thank you so much. And I really appreciated you doing this interview for me, and I will see you later. All right. And now, back here we have our different cultural centers and most of the women's center. Um, they have a library. They have rooms that you can go sit. Um, there's an Asian American cultural center in a Puerto Rican Latin American cultural center as well is down there how they have on an African American cultural center and a need of American culture, cultural center and also the Rainbow Center. So people come up here too, connect with people from their culture. They'll come over here to study, um and kind of branch out and see you know where their heritage takes them. And you do not have to be or identify with any of these different cultures. You don't have to be African American. You don't have to be Asian American to go in there and hang out with people. So if you're looking for somewhere to network and make new friends, you could always attend one of their events and see what happens. And they also have the school. Resource is here. You can use Ah, printer. You can use any of the supplies that they have out here, books, the tables, you know, just It's just a quiet area to feel safe and to make new friends and to study whenever you need. And I think you can. If there's one thing that this campus is not missing, it is study spots. This is what the inside of the student union looks like, and almost always it's this busy or more. I mean, during the middle of the day, it's almost impossible to find a seat. And then if you look up there, I mean there's a staircase that takes you up towards dunking doughnuts. And also it's a marketplace of there. Anders on the clubs, sports team, office. And now we're walking into the Union Street market. No, this is I think, a lot of people tell you, honestly, this is one of the best places to eat on campus and they take points. So take you inside. You see Mexico. Yeah, they have. They call fireside sandwiches, which have that cheese. Actually, you got arrested in here last year because he came in drunk and they wouldn't have to. So he assaulted me. I got arrested. This is what they have. Alice Pasta have a fusion noodle bar, which is usually like Laman, our rice bowl and then all kinds of drinks Country Maddie getting something to drink. She's probably on her points. Because once you get to be in this measure like us and you have a week left, you got so many points you're not to do with you. Start find people things. So let her do that. We're gonna walk out here. If you walk straight out those doors, you'll get World Hall, which is where a lot of lectures take place. And basically from the union you can get almost anywhere you need to. As long as you find the union, you'll find the book store, You'll find Gampel. You'll find a lot of your major lecture halls. And you can catch a bus from the union to basically anywhere on campus. So basically, if you find yourself in the union and your loss, then I mean, I don't know what to do for you. Like how to help you. If you're at the union, you don't know where you are. That's a problem. But you weren't quickly.

Q: Merging data frames of different lengths without unique keys I am trying to merge two data frames of different lengths without using a unique key.
For example:
Name <- c("Steve","Peter")
Age <- c(10,20)

df1 <- data.frame(Name,Age)

> df1
   Name Age
1 Steve  10
2 Peter  20

Name <-c("Jason","Nelson")
School <-c("xyz","abc")

df2 <- data.frame(Name,School)

> df2
    Name School
1  Jason    xyz
2 Nelson    abc

I want to join these two tables so that I have all columns and have NA cells for rows that didn't have that column originally. It should look something like this:
    Name Age School
1  Steve  10   <NA>
2  Peter  20   <NA>
3  Jason  NA    xyz
4 Nelson  NA    abc

thank you in advance!

A: dplyr::bind_rows(df1,df2)
# Warning in bind_rows_(x, .id) :
#   Unequal factor levels: coercing to character
# Warning in bind_rows_(x, .id) :
#   binding character and factor vector, coercing into character vector
# Warning in bind_rows_(x, .id) :
#   binding character and factor vector, coercing into character vector
#     Name Age School
# 1  Steve  10   <NA>
# 2  Peter  20   <NA>
# 3  Jason  NA    xyz
# 4 Nelson  NA    abc

You can alleviate some of this by pre-assigning unrecognized columns, which also works well with base R:
df2 <- cbind(df2, df1[NA,setdiff(names(df1), names(df2)),drop=FALSE])
df1 <- cbind(df1, df2[NA,setdiff(names(df2), names(df1)),drop=FALSE])
df1
#       Name Age School
# NA   Steve  10   <NA>
# NA.1 Peter  20   <NA>
df2
#        Name School Age
# NA    Jason    xyz  NA
# NA.1 Nelson    abc  NA

# ensure we use the same column order for both frames
nms <- names(df1)
rbind(df1[,nms], df2[,nms])
#         Name Age School
# NA     Steve  10   <NA>
# NA.1   Peter  20   <NA>
# NA1    Jason  NA    xyz
# NA.11 Nelson  NA    abc

Nutrition is a complex and ever-evolving subject. That's doubly true for sports nutrition. There are hundreds of books and websites pumping out nutritional advice, and almost all of them recommend a different approach. It's so confusing!
Many nutritional approaches are so convoluted that only full-time athletes with live-in chefs could ever hope to follow them. With others, you'll need be filthy rich to be able to afford all the supplements you need to take.
However, if you dial back the clock a dozen years or so, nutrition was a much simpler subject. There were no superfoods, no one was counting macros like their lives depended on it, and supplements were exactly that – supplementary.
If the subject of nutrition leaves you feeling dazed and confused, ignore all the pseudo-science and marketing hype and simplify your rugby diet. Your performance won't suffer, and nor will your health; you'll just have more time for the important things in life, like rugby and squats!
Macro means big, and the three macronutrient groups are pretty much where your diet starts and ends. Your body needs a steady supply of protein, carbohydrate, and fat to function properly and fuel training and recovery.
Protein is vital for muscle growth and repair. Playing and training for rugby are catabolic activities which means they break your muscles down. Dietary protein provides your body with amino acids and your body uses them to repair that damage.
Too little protein could hamper recovery so it's very important that all ruggers eat plenty of this important nutrient. Good sources include beef, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, and whey protein.
A lot nutritional advice suggests you should consume about 2.0 grams of protein per kilo of bodyweight, or about one gram per pound. This info is normally aimed at bodybuilders and weightlifters. Most ruggers don't need that much and should aim for a more conservative 1.4-1.6 grams per kilo.
Why the difference? Rugby training is, by and large, a full body activity. Because of this, you need to leave space in your diet for adequate carbohydrate. Too little carbohydrate could rob you of energy. Bodybuilders often only train each muscle group once or twice per week which means they can get by on a lower carb diet. They are not in such a hurry to recover between training sessions.
The harder you train, the more carbohydrate you need to consume. If you are physically active most days of the week, as ruggers tend to be, you should consume plenty of carbs daily to fuel your body. The less active you are, the less carbs you need. Repeat after me – you need to earn your carbs!
Adjust your carbohydrate intake according to your level of activity. If you are enjoying a de-load week, you should reduce your carb intake to reflect your reduced levels of activity. You can also consume less carbohydrate on rest days.
Good carb choices include wholemeal bread, brown pasta, brown and wild rice, potatoes, and oatmeal – basically unrefined, complex carbs or starches. Avoid refined carbs like pastries, candy, cake, and other types of high-sugar junk. Carbs often get a bad rap in the media but not all carbs will cause weight gain.
High quality carbs are undeniably good for you and will enhance your performance in the gym and on the pitch. Carbs are especially valuable an hour or so before and immediately after training. Pre-activity carbs will give you the energy you need to perform at your best, while post-training carbs will restore depleted glycogen and speed up recovery.
About 40-60% of your daily calorie intake should come from carbs. There is no need to measure this precisely, just look at what's on your plate!
The balance of your diet should be made up of healthy fats. Fats, like carbs, are highly misunderstood and often maligned in the media. While things like trans fats and olestra are best avoided, healthy fats are very beneficial. Good sources of healthy fats include olive oil, avocados, coconut oil, oily fish, nuts, and seeds.
Be aware that, even though they are healthy, you can have too much healthy fat in your diet. Fat contains nine calories per gram and that means eating too much fat could make you fat. Reducing your fat intake slightly is an easy was to lower your overall calorie intake for weight management – discussed later in this article.
People who religiously track macros and calories often lose sight of the "big picture." They focus too much on the amount of food they eat, ignoring the quality. When it comes to eating for health and performance, quality is every bit as important as quantity.
For example, a can of soda contains roughly 160 calories and 40 grams of carbs – in the form of sugar. If you need to consume some carbs in a hurry, soda might appear to be a good option. However, soda contains no other nutritional benefits. It is the very definition of empty calories.
In contrast, a couple of medium-sized bananas contain roughly the same number of calories and carbs but also contain lots of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The difference is clear.
You don't need to go full Paleo, only eating foods you can hunt or forage, but you should do your best to eat more natural foods and less processed junk. One of the reasons that the "carbs are bad" mantra has spread so far and wide is that most junk food is carb-based. In most cases, simply eating less processed carbohydrate and swapping it for unrefined carbs will negate the need to go low-carb.
When you get back to basics, weight management is very simple. If you want to gain weight (muscle), you need to eat more. If you want to lose weight (fat), you need to eat less. If you want to maintain your weight, your food intake must match your calorie expenditure. You don't need fancy eating plans to manage your weight, you just need to adjust how much you eat.
Do you need to count calories and measure macros? You could, but it's not essential. Just adjust the size of your meals until you see the progress you want. If you want to lose fat but aren't, eat a couple less snacks per day or reduce the size of your meals. If you want to build muscle but aren't, add an extra snack or two per day or increase the size of your meals. Monitor your progress adjust accordingly.
Nutritional science IS a complex and ever-evolving subject, but the practice of eating for health and performance is actually pretty simple and hasn't really changed. Address your macro needs, adjust your food intake to reflect your body composition goals, and eat plenty of natural foods while going easy on the junk. Simplify your rugby diet and enjoy your food!
Should I cycle or do hill sprints this season?

Q: xamarin iOS alasset fullresolution image with filter I am working on a Xamarin IOS application, testing on a iPhone5 version 8.1.3, where I let the user select images with the ALAssetLibrary. These images get send to a server and get processed. There is a minimum size to these images so I need the complete image.
I have a bit of a problem with getting the full resolution images.
First I check the size of the images with asset.DefaultRepresentation.Dimensions. After that I get the image with asset.DefaultRepresentation.GetImage(). Now here i have three different cases.

*

*a image with no filter

*a image made with a filter

*a image made without a filter, and a filter later applied to it

In all three cases the dimensions give me a value like h:3500 w: 2800. Which is exactly what I need. When i get the images in the first and third case it gives me a image with the same size. But in the second case it gives me a image with something like h:910 w: 640; Which is the same size as asset.DefaultRepresentation.GetFullScreenImage() would give me.
Is there any way to get a full size image when the image is made with a filter?
EDIT
Also when I make a photo with a filter and then remove the filter from the image I get a image with h:3500 w:2800. This means that the original image must be present. I just need to know how to get it.


While most online schools are fairly credible, you will want to check to see that they are accredited by a legitimate governing entity. Many universities now offer programs for online high school education. The benefit of these programs is that they are founded by universities that will acknowledge their legitimacy. There is no worry that colleges won't recognize your diploma. and are two institutions that offer this type of program.


Roy Fuller was born in 1912, under what conjunction of planets I do not know, but the place of his birth was somewhere between Manchester and Oldham. His next stop was Blackpool, where he attended the High School until the age of 16. He might even in those distant days have been expected to go on at the age of 17 or 18 to a university, but, whether through parental or his own native caution or some other cause, he was instead articled to a local solicitor and was admitted in 1934. His real career began in 1938 when he was appointed Assistant Solicitor to the Woolwich and Equitable Building Society, a post to which he returned after serving in the Navy from 1941 to 46. In 1958 he became Solicitor to the Society, and in 1969 a director, as he apparently still is. Respectable as this career is in itself, his public distinction has come from another source. In 1968 his employers, as he has himself recorded, 'understandingly' consented to his being nominated for the Chair of Poetry at Oxford; it was on his election that he relinquished his full-time employment and became a member of the board. Other marks of favour followed: a CBE and the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 1970; in 1972 he became a Governor of the BBC, and in 1976 a Member of the Arts Council. Might one not assume, of such a man, that he never gave anyone in authority a moment's uneasiness? His record at the Arts Council shows that it is not as simple as that.
Of doom, over the concrete near the river.
Fuller was caught in the wind of Auden-Spender-Day-Lewis Communism – hardly surprising for, susceptibility to rhetoric apart, some such politics were then a mark of respectability among the intellectual young and the Woolwich and Equitable were not afraid.
There is a hard thin gun on Clapham Common.
Deserted yachts in the mud at Greenwich.
Which read WOMEN GASSED and WOMEN NOT GASSED.
Are here as rubble and fear, metal and glass.
There is a meaning though was purposed none.
There is the odd confession that 'in our time all art seems meaningless.' What does that mean, one wonders, from a young man who is trying to be a poet? Does he yet know what he is about? Or has he not yet begun to discard all that must be discarded before the necessary words isolate themselves from the vast desert of the optional?
Vanish, for all it reassures, in white.
Peril and death, but no less boring.
– and, one might add, only the truth which requires verse to express it will make a poem. Some sort of reliability there is in virtually all of the matter which fills this huge book, for Fuller is an honest man, but more often than not it is the approximate matter which suffices for ordinary talk and ordinary prose, in the approximate language we habitually use.
So little verse and less to please.
No statue in the final act.
Pass for the off-peak bus.
And thick if frosted hair.
he can hardly be said to have made good his claim in his later verse.
There is, in the end, something hopelessly comic about this director of the Woolwich and Equitable who used the platform of the Oxford Professor of Poetry to arraign the 'petty-bourgeois' who must form most of the Society's customers, and supported what he said by a quotation from Lenin which had 'been a favourite' of his for more than twenty-five years. At this time (1969) he believed – on what evidence? – that 'the whole socialist concept ... is substantially justified not merely by its promise to make culture universally available but also by its capability of raising culture to only dreamed of heights.' I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'culture' but Fuller was at the time speaking of Arnold. 'The poets of the so-called "modern movement",' the Professor thunders from the Chair, 'have often been themselves to blame for poetry's giving in to its status as a minority art.' Whatever those last words may mean, it remains true that a taste for poetry, among people in a position to get something worse, has always been rather rare, and the number of poets who outlive their century has always been minuscule.
Here she is drawing not merely on things seen but on those involuntary collections time makes in the memory: so in 'Afterbirth', in which the sight of her growing child saying goodbye to her is telescoped with the vision of the same child attached to her 'by one thin, slippery cord'. At its best, Kantaris's writing is elegant and exercises a fine intelligence, and its literary qualities certainly owe something to her knowledge of French literature. This experience is, however, best used indirectly. Her translations of Laforgue and Mallarmé are little short of embarrassing, from so delicate a hand. Perhaps these are poets for whom the possible has already been done, for the 20th century; they are anyhow clearly not the poets for her.


Odd call from Telegraph. Want writer to visit fat camp in Devon for week and - much polite hesitation before getting to point - thought of me.
What? Am I really fattest freelance in Britain? True, 15st 6lb is on heavy side as am 5 ft 8in tall, but surely am just naturally stocky? All right, maybe could lose pound or two. Nice to go home for Christmas without reminders from Mum that Grandad had first heart attack at my age (43).
Don't hold out much hope, though. Over years, have abandoned Atkins (bout of food poisoning after scoffing family-size chicken in one sitting), flunked FPlan and wobbled off Weight Watchers. Main exercise now - sporadic jogging and swimming apart - pulling cork out of wine bottle.
Still, retreat results promising (people dropping average 8.2lb and 2in off waist in week). Very much at home in fluffy white towelling robe and good at sipping orange juice, so will give it a go.
This fitness business exhausting and not even out of London yet. Don't have half of things on "to bring" list so rush around Primark for 10 cheap polo-shirts, three pairs tracksuit bottoms, 10 pairs sports socks, etc, then mad dash to Paddington station. Missed breakfast as usual so pant into M&S for lunch to take on train. En route to till with egg-and-bacon sandwich but pop back for chicken pasta salad too. With rushing round, must have burnt enough calories to justify it. Feel thinner already.
Three hours later, Tiverton Parkway station, picked up by minibus from retreat. Bumpy ride along country roads, then arrive at old farm now turned into holiday accommodation. Can't see pool, but must be in huge shed over there.
Quick glance at room - clean, comfortable, en suite, but no mini-bar, and where is fluffy white robe? Squelch across farmyard for induction in dining room. No chairs, only big rubber gym balls. Squatting on them works core muscles, says health manager Julie Brealy. Yes, but will also crack skull if roll off.
The rules: no alcohol - gulp - or sneaky trips to village without retreat staff as chaperone.
Regime three meals a day, plus morning and afternoon snacks. Average 1,700 calories a day, but can ask for more if dizzy. Dizzy? Why? Soon find out. Average of six hours of exercise a day. What? When did agree to that?
Dinner (on chairs, at table, luxury) - grilled salmon with wild rice and curly kale, then fruit salad. Not bad. Settling down for nice relaxing night when all summoned to big shed seen on way in. Hope they are showing us spa pool and Jacuzzi. Greeted by Siân Cheedy, elfin Welsh women's football player and exercise coach for week. Bad news: this is "exercise barn". No pool, no Jacuzzi, and definitely no hoped-for secret cupboard of fluffy white robes.
Instead, huge red rubber mat on which will play team games. Now? Yes, now. Hour later, am done in. Was unexpected good fun but ready for bed and is only 9pm. Motivational signs pinned all over. "What Mind Can Conceive, Mind Can Achieve" etc. All mind can conceive right now is nice glass of red wine. If only.
Up at six, weighed and measured. My targets: lose half stone; 3in off waist and 2.5in off hips; cut body fat 5 per cent. Resolved to achieve all, so attack next part of assessment - three-mile walk/jog through Devon countryside - at stupidly fast pace. Have to stop after a mile, wheezing, panting. By end, feel sick.
Minibus going back passes through Bampton village. "Look, a chip shop," says mournful voice. Faces press to window but back to farm for mid-morning snack of nuts and dried fruit. Before lunch, circuit training, then game in field, involving much dragging along of car tyres on rope.
Exhausted. Spoons on lunch table give rise to excited rumours of proper pudding but are for starter - miso soup. Tasty, but not cheesecake.
After lunch, abdominal workout, then aerobics. Dinner of mushroom risotto and fruit salad, then back to barn for Iron Arms upper-body workout. Evening ends with tiring team game, bit like netball.
Never done so much exercise in one day. Beyond exhaustion - nodding off in bed as write diary.
Woken by whistle at 5.40am. Dear God. Still stars in sky as enter exercise barn at six for Stretch 'n' Move - hour and half of circuit training. Breakfast, then seven-mile hike around local area finishes me off. After lunch, life coaching workshop. All very interesting, am sure, but would listen to lecture on astrophysics at this point as long as could sit down, even if perched on gym ball.
Despite constant stretching, all now stiff from exercise and hobbling about. Looks like old people's home. Encouraged to think how hard we are exercising, from one (no effort) to 10 (very hard). Should be six to eight, but feel have spent past two days at about 20. Not sure how much more can take.
Tonight, line-dancing. Good laugh but never mind hoe-down; need lie-down. Another Cardio Blast and game of Crazy Cricket before bed. On way to barn for final session, see frogs mating on path. At least someone's having fun.
Whistle of doom sounds again, 5.40am. Stretch 'n' Move hard and only kept going on five-mile hike by company of others. Camaraderie very strong.
This afternoon, thank God, chance to sit down. Inspiring session with nutritional consultant Julia FitzGerald, deviser of week's menus. Can really see self sticking to her healthy recipes. Delicious. Lots of good advice. For me, big realisation that often confuse dehydration with hunger. Note to self: drink lots more water. Will help keep off wine too.
Blur of more exhausting exercise, then at 10pm find self alone in pantry, surrounded by food. Weirdly, am not tempted to swipe it. So far not really hungry or - astonishing - missing alcohol. Actually in pantry to use washing machine. Definitely sweatiest person in Devon. Leaving perspiration pools everywhere. Still, beats alcohol fumes.
Strange thing. Still hate early morning whistle but actually enjoy sweating to Burn Baby Burn and Oops Upside Your Head at 6am today. What's happening to me? Stretch 'n' Move definitely easier. Couldn't have managed this three days ago. Good feeling.
March along to Amy Winehouse on six-mile hike this morning. Cold sunshine, stunning countryside, feel euphoric. Maybe Amy should try retreat - can't imagine drugs give bigger high. Mood dips lunchtime when realise still have hours of exertion to go. By evening, ready to drop. Kept going by Denise Rose, 37-year-old from Reading, overweight since childhood and twice the weight she should be. Harder for her than anyone but never stops. Spurs me on, too.
Draining nine-mile morning hike over Exmoor - practically licking tarmac as lean into horrifically steep final hill. Great sense of achievement at end.
Lunch followed by tai-chi next to lake at back of farm, accompanied by quacking ducks. Wonderful, but is only brief respite. Next, Bounce an Ounce - sounds fun but horribly testing abs-and-arms workout with gym balls.
Dinner, then repeat of games we did first night. Seems weeks ago. Afterwards, exercise workshop, helping us plan goals. Short-term aim? Survive week without dying. Also, might try to get through all the exercises in Stretch 'n' Move tomorrow without stopping once. Wonder if can.
Last full day. Great boost when get through final Stretch 'n' Move with no stops, just as hoped. Am getting fitter.
This morning, repeat of the walk/jog/run from second day. Two minutes slower for me but no stopping this time, so feel good. Emotional moment when Denise crosses line. Lots of cheers. Group bonding is big part of week.
This afternoon, repeat of tyre-pulling game, then obstacle course and game of rounders before last session of week - aerobics. A class too far. All too whacked to think, never mind move. Blank faces all round and aerobics teacher says tiredness has turned brains to spaghetti. Closest we have got to pasta all week.
Final weigh-in early morning. Anxious wait - with much visiting loo to get weight low as poss. Feel nervous as step on scales. Can't believe it when needle stops just past 14st. Incredible. Have lost 1st 2lb in just six days, 3in off waist and 2in off hips. Body fat down 7 per cent. Really happy.
All others reached target or more. Delighted reporting of weights and measurements all around. Thrilled to hear Denise managed to shed a stone. Between us lost 72 inches off our waists and hips. Have also lost total of 10 stone - half a Pavarotti and surely a whole Gillian McKeith.
Sad goodbyes, promises to keep in touch, then back to station with packed lunch to keep us out of buffet and recipes for meals from week.

Life can sometimes present challenges that force you into bad financial decisions. If things have taken a turn for the worst and nothing makes sense but filing for bankruptcy, be sure to hire a bankruptcy lawyer. They can assist you in the following ways.
Just because you've found yourself in a lot of debt, doesn't mean you should automatically file for bankruptcy. There actually may be better options out there that don't have as great of consequences. To know what these options are, you need to hire a bankruptcy lawyer. They'll thoroughly examine your financial situation to see exactly how much debt you owe.
They may recommend establishing a budget where you save as much money as you can to go towards debt repayment. Or, they may suggest liquidating some of your assets and using this income to pay back debt. If they do recommend bankruptcy, you can take solace knowing this option is right for your situation.
When you owe a lot of money to different creditors, they'll probably try reaching out constantly. Even during the middle of the night, they may use strong-arm tactics to get you to pay up.
Well, you can say goodbye to this harassment once and for all when you hire a bankruptcy attorney. The moment you file for bankruptcy, they'll submit a cease and desist letter to all parties who try to reach out. After all, once you file for bankruptcy, creditors don't have any legal grounds to make further contact.
Unfortunately, you can't just snap your fingers and be done with bankruptcy. You actually have to fill out a lot of forms, which can be daunting for anyone to manage. Instead of going through these papers alone and risking a mistake, you should just work with a bankruptcy lawyer.
Each document filled out and signed will be analyzed by your attorney. They can also answer any questions you have when filling out this paperwork. Having such convenient and thorough assistance ensures this bankruptcy process is done by the book, ultimately helping you avoid costly delays.
No one ever wants to find themselves in dire financial trouble. It does happen, though, and the only feasible move may be to file for bankruptcy. Fortunately, you don't have to go through this process alone. Bankruptcy attorneys can take you through this entire process, ensuring you make the right decisions along the way to a brighter financial future.

There will be times in 2018 when life becomes like a treadmill. You're going along at a good clip, but the moment you take your eyes off of what you're doing you will fall. That includes looking back. Our enemy the devil seeks to discourage us by reminding us of the sins we've committed. He wants us to focus on the past. Paul tells us to strain towards what's ahead, to push ahead for our goal.
What's our goal? Our goal is to become like Christ so that we might live with Him in His coming kingdom. Reaching that goal involves walking in the Spirit, allowing our minds to be renewed by God's Word, and maintaining close fellowship with God through talking to Him in prayer and let His Word dwell richly in our hearts and minds.
Losing weight and getting organized are both worthwhile, but nowhere near as important as our walk with God. In 2018 I hope you'll take Paul's challenge and set one goal above all others: the goal of becoming like Christ.

Alcoholism And Drug Abuse Are Diseases Of Perception – Faith, Hope And Courage Are The Cure Says Harriet Hunter, Award-Winning Author Of Miracles Of Recovery
Mar 13, 2021 | Art
Hunter's award-winning book, "Miracles Of Recovery: Daily Meditations Of Hope, Courage and Faith," features 365-powerful daily inspirations based on the A.A. 12 Step Program.
WILMINGTON, NC, March 13, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — There are many theories regarding the causes of alcoholism and drug abuse. Some say it's environmental. Other say it is hereditary. Related disorders. Peer pressure. Stress. The list of potential causes is long and complex but, truth be told, nobody really knows for certain.
Harriet Hunter, award-winning author of "Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage and Faith" believes alcoholism is a disease, but a disease unlike any other. Alcoholism is a disease of perception. In a recent post on her website, she said this:
"I suffer from a disease of the brain, which directly and often negatively affects how I interpret my world. One drink or drug is too many, but one hundred is just never enough. In a meeting, someone snaps a pop-top on a can of coke, and my perception shouts, "Let the Party Begin!"
"While leaving a dinner party of six with half-filled wine bottles and glasses, I cringe, and to myself I think, 'Who in their right mind would do that?' Meaning: walk away from half-filled glasses with their drink of choice.
Page 23, in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says, "Therefore, the main problem of the alcoholic centers in his mind rather than in his body." We were delusional, convinced the problem belonged to someone or something else.
A point driven home for many in recovery is how different we are from 'normal' people. Our disease of perception survives with contradictions and false assumptions. Some, not addicted, consider addiction nothing more than weakness, something curable with a little more 'self-control' or 'self-knowledge.' This couldn't be further from the truth.
Alcoholism is an all-encompassing disease–progressive and deadly. It affects its victims spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. While in the throes of our disease, we have a psychological illness referred to as the phenomena of craving: a thinking-obsession combined with a physical compulsion to drink in the absence of anyone or anything greater than ourselves. We thought we needed no one or nothing at all, except our drug of choice.
Most of us believed we never fit in anywhere! We perceived ourselves as different long before we picked up our first drink. On the outside, we looked normal. But we were never comfortable in our own skins, boasting an exaggerated ego that masked a deep lack of confidence and even greater, a poor self-esteem. We drank to escape from ourselves.
The full post is available at Hunter's website at http://www.HarrietHunter.org.
Nobody is immune from the ravages of drug or alcohol abuse. Those who suffer from alcoholism can be found from the boardroom to the mail room. Celebrities who have battled alcohol addiction include the late Amy Winehouse, Shia LaBeouf, Bradley Cooper, Mel Gibson and Janeane Garofalo to name a few. Some of our coworkers, some of our neighbors and most likely some of our family members continue to suffer, most often in silence from alcoholism and drug abuse.
While there are many treatment approaches and programs, what is common to all successful individuals within a substance abuse program is the pain and the loneliness shared, oftentimes with an ongoing support system for the person battling the disease. That support system is what Harriet Hunter offers in "Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage and Faith."
Featuring 365-daily inspirations. Miracles of Recovery was written not just for those addicted, but for the parents, the spouses – anyone touched by the disease because addiction is absolutely a family affair. 12-Steps as its foundation, Miracles of Recovery embraces holistic suggestions as a practical approach for those who must face life on life's terms, clean and sober. Encouraging and thought-provoking, Miracles of Recovery inspires with Universal Truths, "because," Harriet says, "Once we know better, we do better." Miracles of Recovery is written to show through personal examples how to achieve long-term sobriety, regardless of what happens in one's life and offers a personal, sometimes raw reflection of the truth about addiction seldom seen elsewhere.
The new book encourages readers to embrace healthy, positive thoughts by taking the necessary actions to reinforce a new way of thinking. Tools necessary to maintain sobriety and change one's life through changing one's perspective are also proposed. It suggests that readers "Do life differently," through exercises, solutions, and methods to improve self-esteem, confidence, and embrace a profound sense of hope needed to succeed. The author spurs the reader to embrace the belief that, regardless of challenges life presents, "NOTHING can change the course of recovery when you keep yourself, your sobriety, and your Higher Power first in your lives." In short, Miracles of Recovery offers hope where there is none through a simple program of actions for complicated people.
Hunter has received rave reviews for her work from readers and reviewers alike. Vernita Taylor of Readers Favorite stated, "Miracles of Recovery: Daily Meditations of Hope, Courage, and Faith by Harriet Hunter is a great choice if you're struggling with addiction because it offers a full year of inspiration and affirmations which I enjoyed. I see this book as a mentor or sponsor that is walking by your side and helping to lead you to a better, more improved you while teaching you how to deal with your stressors. The best teacher is someone who has been there and done that and this book doesn't disappoint. The author knows first-hand what it takes and how it feels to be addicted, and the journey to recovery. If you need help along your journey, pick up a copy of this book; it's highly recommended."
Anthony Capozzolli of Dismantled Life Podcast said, "Miracles of Recovery has been a feast for my recovering soul. Every page is filled with love and helpful insights that lead to discovery. I read each page by date and randomly turn to other pages for an additional spiritual hug when I need one. It's almost as if Harriet wrote her wonderful book for me. Page after page hits so close to home I often tear up from positive awareness and clarity of emotion."
Miracles of Recovery received the first place President's Award in nonfiction from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association.
Since her walk into recovery in 1999, Harriet has had one primary purpose: to show others how they can achieve their miracles while staying sober with a vision and determination to never go backwards, one day at a time.
Using her experience strength and hope, Harriet strives to be a conduit of encouragement to others in their disease of alcoholism and drugs of choice, by showing them what works. With practical tools, principles and promises as found in Alcoholics Anonymous and other literature, she mirrors examples of how anyone can be free from the bondage of self, regardless of their situation.
With the purchase of a signed copy of Miracles of Recovery from her website, readers will also receive a no-charge copy of "Your Daily Reprieve; How To Maintain Long-Term Sobriety Serenely Just For Today" in PDF format.
Harriet Hunter has developed a six-module course for individuals who thrive on personal insight and emotional growth as they seek to connect the dots of their lives. Journaling with a Purpose! is a thought-provoking, sometimes intensive exercise for self-seekers who want more from lives. Its focus is both emotionally therapeutic and entertaining, as participants look inside themselves for resilient, positive changes to solutions and characteristics they expect more from. Harriet is never far away. She hosts two web-based meetings, while delivering videos, offers no-charge gifts, handouts and many prompts that encourages and explains what the writer can expect with each module.
Harriet Hunter is available for media interviews and speaking engagements and can be contacted using the information below or by email at [email protected]. More information, including the journaling course, no-charge audios, ebooks, handouts and other gifts can be found by visiting https://www.harriethunter.org.
With over 21 years of sobriety, Harriet has worked with hundreds of women who suffer with alcoholism and drug addiction to help them find peace in active sobriety. She facilitates AA meetings for women incarcerated, and sponsors women both face-to-face and on line. Readers can find her in the global recovery site, www.InTheRooms.com, where she's been given her own room and brings Miracles to life for others each Sunday at 2;00 P.M.

Adrian McKinty and James Lee Burke
Over the last weeks, I've been reading Irish-Australian writer Adrian McKinty's Sean Duffy series and am entranced by the acuity of his observations; the blinking humanity revealed when the lights go up. The feeling was similar over ten years ago when I first read James Lee Burke. With more than twenty so far in his Robicheaux series, Burke's lyrical prose continues to distil what it is to be human—the flaws and vanities, petty obsessions and manifestations of love. In these writers' hands, crime lies where the fragile membrane between coping and not breaks; where a civilisation's codes of behaviour constructed and defended to protect both the weak and the powerful are breached. Crime is in the cracks. But that's how the light gets in, too.
It is a seductive paradox. Both Dave Robicheaux and Sean Duffy embody the complexity of a life as the individual wrestles with themselves and their place in the world. McKinty and Burke are both skilled in revealing the overlap, the imprecision in the reckoning of good and bad. Robicheaux and Duffy are both burdened by a sense of responsibility that they find overwhelming at times. Both break sometimes and lash out. They know they've lost it but containing the accumulated rage and frustration becomes impossible. If they see themselves as some force for good, standing between the players and the victims, it is not hubris but rather a weary reckoning that they might have held off the chaos for just another day.
With an intelligence that precludes more than a nod to conformity, neither holds protocols in high regard. Working in rule-bound bureaucracies that snuff out distinguishing behaviour, no matter what it yields, this can be risky. Both serve petty masters: Dave Robicheaux as a sheriff's deputy in New Iberia parish, Louisiana and Sean Duffy as a detective inspector at Carrick Police Station, Northern Ireland. The local station, the parish office is their domain, for better or worse. The FBI (Fart, Barf and Itch) and MI5 are staffed by political operatives whose chief concern is fallout for stakeholders in the bigger picture. Where they collide, Robicheaux and Duffy are warned off: their cases mere distraction, resolution neither here nor there. Pity about the dead, the preyed upon. Though both men know they are worth more, they despise the kowtowing, the mediocrity, the concessions that are requisite for promotion.
Robicheaux's eternal struggle is with corrupt power and the damage wrought by blinkered excess and privilege. Whether they be mobsters, or corporates, or old money, these interchangeable rich, white folk exploit and discard Louisiana's Cajun, black and Catholic minorities. Burke writes of the fruit pickers, the wheat harvesters, and the unrepentant IWW unionists who try to organise them and who are crucified for their efforts. McKinty's Duffy is a Catholic, serving in the Royal Ulster Constabulary, the police force with the highest mortality rate of any in the Western world. In a prod world, being a Catholic peeler is a death sentence. Yet he stays.
'Maybe I'm not a great detective, maybe I'm not even a good detective, but I am fucking persistent. And I am going to find out how Ek did it and I'm going to bring the bastard down for it. The UK government might not like it, the Irish government might not like it, but if I can make a case, the RUC will support me…Cops everywhere love nicking villains'. (Rain Dogs, 2015).
While Burke's novels have few markers linking events to their time, McKinty's 1980s Northern Ireland evokes my teens in a different British outpost: I remember the Falk Off t-shirts, the miners' strike on the BBC World Service, the Royal Family being so modern with the redheaded commoner, and the music: 'The driver had on Radio 1, which was giving us Kylie Minogue'' 'I Should Be So Lucky'. Within a few seconds Miss Minogue's sunny Antipodean vocals and the chirpy lyrics had brought out my dark, misanthropic side…'
History is a restive participant in both series. Reminders of slavery's dehumanising effects are throughout Burke's Louisiana—that slaves dug and fired the clay bricks of a plantation home, the rage and madness of their descendants whose lives are blighted by alcoholism and violence. In Ireland in 1985, the riots, roadblocks, burning buses, fires mark just another day in the sectarian war (McKinty, Gun Street Girl, 2015). The bitterness of this centuries-old dispute has dug so deep, there is no turning. When the Anglo–Irish Agreement is struck, the extremists go to town: "'In a normal country this bold attempt to seize the middle ground would be met with polite agreement by all sides of the political divide… 'But not here'" (Rain Dogs, 2015). Less poetic than Burke, McKinty's writing is bleakly funny.
Black humour to go with Duffy's black jeans and DMs.
That other signpost, the environment, is rendered with extraordinary deftness by both writers. The rain, the snow, fog and wind are more than mere weather—they become characters. Half-frozen Atlantic rainlashes Ireland's citizens with apocalyptic fury. It is 'cold cleansing,' 'elemental', 'a biblical scourge'. Louisiana's sky sheds fat drops, the heat intense then 'suddenly cool and thick with the sulphurous smell of ozone.' The ground barely contains the rising, swelling mass; the waters of the Atchafalaya Basin and its marshes and swamps encroach on the towns; the dead are buried above ground in stone vaults to not be washed away. The transience of humanity, when all's said and done.
But Dave Robicheaux believes in love, in redemption, a time 'where we would witness once again the unfinished story of ourselves.' (Cadillac Jukebox, 1996). Sean Duffy is less optimistic. 'I thought I could make a difference… Ten years ago … Now I realise that one man can do very little.' On riot duty, the 'weens' throw stones and half-bricks but Duffy anticipates the day when they are making Molotov cocktails and petrol bombs. Still, his very presence, albeit reluctant and dour, is hopeful. What else is there?
'Crime writing' is never about the crime. Not the good stuff anyway. There is such a thing as society (sorry, Margaret Thatcher) and though broken, it is not beyond repair. Read McKinty and Burke for the elegance of their prose and the light that filters through the cracks.

George Briscoe Kerferd (1831–1889), politician, lawyer and judge, came to Victoria in 1853 and established himself as a wine and spirits merchant in Beechworth having spent several months on the Bendigo diggings. He then went into other business ventures, including a successful brewery. By 1857 he'd become a member of the Beechworth Municipal Council, and was engaged in community projects such as the establishment of the Ovens District Hospital and the Benevolent Asylum. During the 1860s, he instigated his plan for Beechworth's water supply (Lake Kerferd is named for him). With his strong record on matters relating to local development and progress, he was encouraged to nominate for the Legislative Assembly and was elected in 1864, serving as the member for Ovens until 1886. After taking up his seat he began to study law in earnest and was admitted to the Bar in 1867. He served five separate terms as attorney-general between 1874 and 1886, and was premier during 1874–75, using his influence to bring about the construction of the north-eastern railway line and a branch line to Beechworth. After leaving Parliament Kerferd was appointed to the bench of the Supreme Court, and during the 1870s and 80s was actively involved in the moves towards Federation.

Words of forgiveness can be deeply powerful. They can also be deeply misguided.
On April 16, a savage named Steve Stephens shot and killed Robert Godwin Sr., a 74-year-old Cleveland man who was innocently walking home from Easter dinner with his children. Stephens recorded his cold-blooded act of murder, then posted the video on Facebook. For two days the killer was at large; he was eventually tracked down in Pennsylvania, where he shot himself as police approached his car.
Even before Stephens was found, his victim's family announced, on national TV, that they had forgiven him. "Each one of us forgives the killer. . . . We want to wrap our arms around him," one of Godwin's daughters told CNN. Another said: "I hold no animosity in my heart against this man."
Godwin's children are devout Christians, and they attributed their instant willingness to forgive their father's murderer to their faith.
On the other side of the world, the Christian family of another murder victim was reacting in exactly the same way.
More than 40 Coptic Christians died when Islamic State terrorists bombed two Egyptian churches on Palm Sunday, and the widow of one of the victims, Naseem Faheem, was interviewed on Egyptian TV.
"I'm not angry at the one who did this," she said through tears. "Believe me, I forgive you."
Such expressions of unconditional forgiveness are profoundly affecting. The host of the Egyptian program was stunned by the widow's words; a video of his reaction — long silence, and an exclamation that "the Copts of Egypt are made of steel!" — went viral. When relatives of the parishioners murdered by Dylann Roof in a South Carolina church in 2015 declared their forgiveness for the killer, their words were universally praised. Admired, too, were the Amish parents and grandparents in Lancaster County, Pa., who reacted to the 2006 massacre of their daughters by proclaiming that they would "not think evil" of the man who slaughtered the girls, and that none of them "wants to do anything but forgive."
Rushing to forgive a killer may bring some solace to a victim's relatives, but by what right can anyone "forgive" the murder of another human being? I wish only consolation and peace of mind for those who grieve. But no one is entitled to forgive an offender for a crime committed against someone else. Particularly when the offender has shown no remorse for the evil he committed, and done nothing to repair the damage he caused.
Many Christians believe that if they wish to follow in Jesus' footsteps, they must always pardon wickedness and pray for the forgiveness of evildoers. But no-strings-attached absolution is not what Jesus taught. "Forgive us our sins," he instructed his disciples to pray, "as we forgive those who sin against us." Against us — not against others. Everyone is free to beseech God's forgiveness on those who have tormented them. That is what Jesus did on the cross, when he asked God to forgive his crucifiers. But Jesus never asked God to forgive the Romans who crucified so many other innocent men and women. And he certainly never instructed his followers to do so.
It isn't only the families of murder victims who seem to think reflexive forgiveness of killers is a good thing. After Godwin's children extended their forgiveness to the man who gunned down their father, Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams urged the entire community to do likewise. "They were forgiving of Steve for this atrocious act, and we need to follow their lead," he said.
That is terrible advice. What would society become if the response to every act of brutality and cruelty — every murder, every rape, every armed robbery, every terrorist bombing — was ready forgiveness by thousands, or even millions, of other people? That isn't a path to compassion and social harmony. It is a recipe for callousness in the face of suffering, and an invitation to even more brutality.
Only the victim of a crime has the right to forgive that crime. In this world, that makes murder unforgivable under any circumstance. And in the next? Not even God will forgive a killer who has not confessed his guilt and truly repented.
By all means, fight the evil inflicted upon others. But never imagine that you have the right to forgive it.

First, we are counting only what a pitcher did as a Dodger.
Third, the pitcher had to save at least 40 games with the Dodgers. Plus, I added in Larry Sherry, who only had 39 saves, but won a World Series MVP.
Finally, you can vote for four relievers. After the recaps of each pitcher, there will be a link to a site where you can make your selections. With that, let's get to it. There are 17 relievers who meet the criteria for the Dodgers.
Let's look at them using three statistics: Save% (The percent of saves successfully converted), IRS% (the percentage of runners on base when the reliever came in that scored) and WAR (wins above replacement, which shows career value with the Dodgers). Those three stats don't give a complete picture, but it should give an overall sense of the value of each player. I encourage you to do further research on each player if you are unsure.
Jim Brewer (1964-75, 61-51, 2.62 ERA, 126 saves): Brewer pitched in 474 games with the Dodgers, fourth in team history behind Don Sutton, Don Drysdale and Kenley Jansen. He became the closer in 1968 and remained in the job through the 1973 season. He was very good, but sort of non-descript and relied on the screwball as his out pitch. Brewer died of complications of injuries received in a car accident in 1987. He was 50.
Jonathan Broxton (2005-11, 25-20, 3.19 ERA, 84 saves): Two words: Matt Stairs. That's a little unfair, because Broxton wasn't a bad closer, he just seemed to never come through when needed.
Hugh Casey (1939-42, 1946-48, 70-41, 3.34 ERA, 49 saves): Casey was the Dodgers' first real closer, though they weren't called that back then and weren't used as modern closers are. He led the NL with 13 saves in 1942 before losing three seasons to World War II. He came back to go 11-5 with five saves in 1946 and then led the NL with 18 saves in 1946. Casey was a starter until manager Leo Durocher switched him to relief midway through the 1941 season. It made all the difference in the world for Casey, who thrived in the role. In 1942, the Dodgers were training in Cuba and author Ernest Hemingway was there. Some team members and Hemingway were having some drinks when Hemingway challenged Casey to a fight. Casey refused, so Hemingway sucker punched him. Casey then pretty much beat up Hemingway until the author punched Casey in the groin and declared the fight a draw. Casey's life ended in 1951, he owed back taxes and had just lost a paternity suit. He checked into an Atlanta hotel and called his wife, who he was estranged from because of the paternity charges. While talking to her on the phone, he told his wife that he was not the father of the baby, put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Casey was only 37. For a great bio of Casey, click here.
Eric Gagne (1999-2006, 25-21, 3.27 ERA, 161 saves): Gagne was a failed starter who came out of nowhere to seize the closing job in spring training in 2002. He converted 84 consecutive saves at one point, and few people left Dodgers games early when Gagne was the closer, because they wanted to see him pitch. He was dominant and won the Cy Young Award in 2003. Then injuries derailed him and he pitched little in 2005 and 2006. He signed with Texas and then went to Milwaukee in 2007. He was with the Brewers when he was named in the Mitchell Report as a player linked to Human Growth Hormone use. His tenure ended with the Dodgers 13 years ago, but it seems like a million years ago for some reason. This season he will serve as bullpen coach for the triple-A Nashville Sounds, a Texas Rangers affiliate.
Charlie Hough (1970-80, 47-46, 3.50 ERA, 60 saves): Hough is one of the rare knuckleball closers in history, serving as the team's main closer in 1976 and 1977. He ate up a lot of innings in his appearances, pitching 142.2 innings in 77 games in 1976. He was sold to Texas in 1980 and reinvented himself as a starter, pitching for 15 more seasons before retiring as a 46-year-old starter with Florida in 1994.
Steve Howe (1980-85, 24-25, 2.35 ERA, 59 saves): The tragic story of Steve Howe. Won Rookie of the Year award in 1980, then developed a major cocaine problem. Was suspended for the entire 1984 season. Dodgers finally gave up on him midway through the 1985 season. He bounced in and out of baseball for the rest of the 80s before finally appearing to clean himself up. He pitched for six seasons for the Yankees from 1991-96. He was suspended seven times in his career for substance abuse. In 2006, he was killed in a single-car accident when his truck rolled over in Coachella. An autopsy report found meth in his system.
Jay Howell (1988-92, 22-19, 2.07 ERA, 85 saves): You could probably win more than one bar bet by asking people to name the closer on the Dodgers' last World Series title team. Howell came to the Dodgers before that season in the same trade in which they acquired Alfredo Griffin and Jesse Orosco. Howell was suspended during the NLCS for using pine tar on his glove to get a grip on the baseball, an event that seemed to anger the team rather than make them fall apart. Howell made the All-Star team in 1989 and had 28 saves, his high with the team.
Kenley Jansen (2010-current, 25-18, 2.20 ERA, 268 saves): There's not much I can write about Jansen I haven't written the last few years. He's a truly great closer who was still very good last season, his worst season so far.
Mike Marshall (1974-76, 28-29, 3.01 ERA, 42 saves): Marshall was a man of strong opinions. He felt he could pitch pretty much every day, but most of his managers thought he was a nut. Until he hooked up with Walter Alston, who trusted Marshall and told him to just tell him if he couldn't pitch, otherwise he'd use him as much as possible. And that set the stage for an incredible 1974 season, where Marshall appeared in 106 games, pitching an amazing 208.1 innings in relief, going 15-12 with a 2.42 ERA and 31 saves. He won the Cy Young Award, becoming the first reliever to do so. But because Marshall was so outspoken, and a big proponent for the burgeoning union, he was usually sent packing quickly by teams. The Dodgers traded him in 1976. In all, Marshall spent 14 seasons in the majors, playing for nine teams. He is also a key background character in Jim Bouton's book, "Ball Four." He has his own website you can check out here.
Tom Niedenfuer (1981-87, 30-28, 2.76 ERA, 97 saves): Niedenfuer was an effective reliever who will forever be remembered by Dodgers fans for giving up the home run to Jack Clark in Game 6 of the 1985 NLCS. He also gave up a game-winning homer to Ozzie Smith earlier in the series. "Looking back on it," Niedenfuer said in a 2010 interview, "it's a very proud feeling that your manager had enough confidence in you to be the guy he put in that situation. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world because I loved being out there. But when it happened, all I can remember is … you let the team down." Niedenfuer, now 59, lives in Sarasota, Fla., with his wife, actress Judy Landers. They have two daughters.
Ron Perranoski (1961-67, 54-41, 2.56 ERA, 100 saves): For all the praise (much deserved as it is), Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale get for pitching the Dodgers to three World Series appearances and two titles in the 1960's, people sometimes overlook the fact that waiting in the wings in case one of them, or some other starter, faltered late was Perranoski. He finished fourth in MVP voting in 1963 after going 16-3 with a 1.67 ERA and 21 saves in a league-leading 69 games and led the league in games pitched three times, often pitching more than 100 innings. He later served as Dodger pitching coach from 1981-94 and is currently a special assistant in the San Francisco Giants front office.
Ed Roebuck (1955-63, 40-22, 3.46 ERA, 43 saves): Roebuck was a key reliever for the 1955 team, with a great first half before a terrible second half. He was an effective reliever for a few seasons, often coming into tie games and piling up a lot of decision each year. He went 8-2 in 1957 and 10-2 in 1962. He only had double digits in saves once, in 1955, when he saved 12 games. The Dodgers sent him to the Washington Senators during the 1963 season. He retired from baseball in 1966 and lived in Lakewood, Calif., for the rest of his life. He died in 2018 at age 86.
Takashi Saito (2006-08, 12-7, 1.95 ERA, 81 saves): Takashi Saito was great. He was 36 when he came to the Dodgers from Japan and put together three great seasons. In 2007, he went 2-1 with a 1.40 ERA and 39 saves, giving up only 33 hits and 13 walks in 64.1 innings, striking out 78. He suffered a sprained elbow ligament near the end of the 2008 season and signed with Boston as a free agent after the season. He left the majors after the 2012 season and played three more years in Japan, retiring at age 45 after the 2015 season.
Jeff Shaw (1998-2001, 9-17, 3.37 ERA, 129 saves): One of the first things Tommy Lasorda did when he was named interim general manager midway through the 1998 season was acquire Shaw from the Cincinnati Reds. In fact, Shaw had been so good for the Reds he was named to the All-Star team. He pitched as a Dodger in that game even though he had yet to appear in a game with the team. Lasorda though the Dodgers needed a closer to put them over the top that season. Shaw pitched well, but it wasn't enough, as the team finished third. Shaw was good in his remaining three seasons in L.A. and saved 43 games in his last season with the team. Unfortunately, many Dodgers fans were still remembering who the Dodgers gave up to acquire Shaw: Top prospect Paul Konerko, who hit 439 homers in his career. Several teams wanted to sign Shaw after the 2001 season, So,e comsidebut he retired to be a dad to his kids. His son, Travis Shaw, currently plays for the Milwaukee Brewers and hit 32 homers for them last season.
Larry Sherry (1958-63, 34-25, 3.47 ERA, 39 saves): Sherry etched his name into Dodgers lore by winning two games and saving two others in the 1959 World Series victory over the Chicago White Sox, giving L.A. its first World Series title. He was named World Series MVP. It capped a great season in which he went 7-2 with a 2.19 ERA and three saves. Sherry died of cancer in 2006. He was 71.
Todd Worrell (1993-97, 17-19, 3.93 ERA, 127 saves): Worrell was the St. Louis Cardinals' closer until he tore a ligament in his elbow near the end of the 1989 season. By the time he made it back to the majors in 1992, he had lost his job to Lee Smith. The Dodgers signed him to a three-year, $9.5 million deal and made him the closer. The first two seasons were disastrous, as injuries limited him to 73 games, 16 saves and a 5.13 ERA, but he rebounded nicely in 1995. He had his best season with the team in 1996, when he led the NL with 44 saves and retired after the 1997 season as the Dodgers' all-times saves leader, a number since surpassed. Worrell is currently the pitching coach at Westminster Christian Academy in St. Louis.

After almost five seasons, the Manhattanville cheerleading team has of offcially come back to campus. The team has new captains, new routines and new goals.
The team was disbanded in the spring of 2016 after a leadership turnover, which caused the school to phase out the team. The cabinet and Office of Student Activities (OSA) voted against having a team until the beginning of this fall, when freshman Nickindah Augustine and Chloe McNair decided to go through the process of bringing the team back to campus.
"When we were looking at Manhattanville, we saw that the there was no team. We love to dance so we decided to start it up," said Augustine.
As of right now, the team does not have a coach and due to liability reasons, they cannot stunt or tumble. Since they do not stunt, they are not considered an official cheerleading team. Under Manhattanville they are considered a dance team but have the title the Cheer Team.
they choreograph their own routines.
The Cheer Team will not be competing this year.
McNair explained that they hope to perform halftime routines consisting of dancing and jumps during the basketball and hockey games in the spring. The girls also would like to perform at dance showcases along with the rest of the dance groups on campus to try and put the Manhattanville cheer team brand out there.
Membership was difficult to find but the girls sought interest among the underclassmen. As of right now, the team consists of thirteen members, mostly freshman and two sophomores. Practicing every night, they are striving to learn complicated dances in preparation of their first performance. They hope to fundraise later this month by selling gift wrap and bake sale items in order to purchase new uniforms, new poms poms, and new gear with the brand on it.
For students who want more information, the team will be holding tryouts in the spring.
