By now you've noticed the nip in the morning air, the chill in the evening breeze and have probably switched your daily cold brew for something warmer. Well folks, fall is officially here, and we think it might be time to add a little hygge to your life.
Never heard of hygge? Hygge (pronounced "hue-gah") is a Danish word describing a quality of coziness that encourages a feeling of comfort and contentment. This Scandinavian philosophy has been sweeping the internet by storm and we think it's the perfect way to help us get through Seattle's rainy, gray season.
Thanks to our Pike Place Market merchants, we found nine ways to add a little hygge to your life.
While Seattle may have broken its own record of days without rainfall over the summer, that certainly is not that case this fall. Pick up a pair (or 2!) of cozy/cute boot liners from WithTheRain and your feet will be singing your praise throughout the rainy season. Shop WithTheRain on Etsy or find them set up most days in the Pike Place crafts market.
Can we all agree that snuggling up in your favorite blanket is one of the best feelings in the world? Eighth Generation carries 100% cotton and 100% wool blankets featuring Native designs, perfect for curling up with in your favorite chair or spot on the couch. Browse Eighth Generation's blanket collection online or visit their flagship store in Pike Place Market's Atrium.
For an inviting spot to hide out (and hang out) away from the bustle of Pike Place, take the stairs to the top floor of the Corner Market building and head towards the back to find Storyville Coffee. Grab a cup of something hot and snag a seat next to the windows overlooking the Market or get extra toasty by the fire place.
Comfort meets style! This knit Chain Scarf is made with 100% wool. The chain links (11 to be exact) give you a little warmth without being overwhelming. Each link is hand-knit around the previous link, making this a chain with no sewn seams. Every Chain Scarf is lovingly made here in Seattle by Pike Place craftsperson Twyla Dill. Shop on her website or find her table at the Market (sign up for Twyla's email list to get a weekly schedule).

These sheepskin slippers from Northstar Trading Co. will keep your toes safe from cold floors thoughout fall and winter. Available online or in person at the Market seven days a week!

Home > The Indomitables
They remain the most successful Great Britain tour team of all time, men who encapsulated the Lions spirit more than any other before or since.
The year was 1946 and the world was still reeling from the effects of World War II. Many of the players who would sail to the other side of the world to take on Australia had been demobbed just a few weeks or months before.
The tour was called to celebrate the close relationship between Australia and the 'mother country' which had been reinforced by the important contribution of Anzac troops and the Australian people to the War effort.
The 1946 tour took place between April and August 1946 and involved 20 games in Australia with a further seven in New Zealand. In total, the Lions played four Test matches, three against Australia and one against the Kiwis.
Instead of the customary 30-strong tour party, the 1946 squad comprised just 26 players. But how those 26 heroes performed, winning 21 games out of the 27 to become the only team to go unbeaten in a Test series against Australia.
The tour could have been cut short before even leaving harbour, due to being so close to the end of the War: all commercial transport was committed to bringing soldiers back home and carrying foodstuffs.
It was only in March that transport was sorted for the team on an aircraft carrier that was repatriating Australian troops and the wives of ex-servicemen. HMS Indomitable left England in the first week of April and its name was to prove remarkably apt given the forthcoming exploits of its sporting passengers.
The first Test was drawn, 8-8. This was attributed by the media to be an unbalance caused by Bradford centre Jack Kitching being sent off near the end of the first half for punching Australia captain Joe Jorgenson.
Eddie Waring, the journalist and future voice of Rugby League on BBC TV who sailed with the 1946 Lions, wrote at the time: "Kitching tackled Jorgenson and… Kitching felt a sharp pain in his side. He pushed Jorgenson off, got up, and immediately put his hand on his side. Referee McMahon thought he had hit Jorgenson, and… he had to walk" giving "England an uphill battle with 12 men in the first Test."
The second Test was more successful for the Lions, who won 14-5 to retain the Ashes for the series. One notable aspect of this game was the phenomenal interest from the Queensland public, who began gathering outside the Brisbane Exhibition Ground many hours before kick-off.
1946 IndomitablesThe crowd built so rapidly that gates at the stadium were eventually broken down to accommodate 10,000 extra people.
An Australian newspaper wrote: "Car loads of police from almost all city and suburban stations were rushed to the Exhibition Grounds this afternoon when the Valley police district chief had ordered the closing of all gates after 65,000 people had jammed their way into the area for the second Rugby League test between Australia and England."
This was necessary as the England team had to be escorted to the stadium by the police, forcing themselves though the gathered crowd.
After retaining the Ashes, and winning the 3rd Test 20-7 at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the 'Indomitables' moved onto New Zealand for their final Test, which they sadly lost. Some games in New Zealand were marred with heavy and rain-soaked pitches.
"It was not possible on a ground inches deep in mud. It was the first time I had seen seagulls at a football match, but there they were, with the teams in one half of the field and the 'gulls in the other," wrote Eddie Waring.
The Indomitables returned home, bringing The Ashes as well as the achievement of outscoring their Australian by a margin of three to one: Great Britain amassed 783 points to Australia's 276.
All of the items photographed in this article form a small part of the sport's official collections, stored and catalogued by Rugby League Cares at Heritage Quay within the University of Huddersfield. The collections are free for the public to view.
For anybody interested in exploring the collection at Heritage Quay, there's an exhibition case dedicated to the exact topic. Also, here's a list of some of the items from the 1946 tour with their catalogue code:

Good Giving
Setting up a Foundation
Impact & Insights
Philanthropy in Ireland Map
These are the words which resonate on many levels from the discussions at our recent philanthropy symposium. From developing policy for philanthropy to engaging with philanthropy – private or corporate, to building understanding and awareness of giving, or acting on hope that things can be different – it was all about the now!
Development of a philanthropy policy is critical for the growth and development of philanthropy in Ireland. While the opening remarks from Joe O'Brien, TD, Minister of State with special responsibility for Community Development and Charities, on the commitment of government and indeed his own departments strategy for philanthropy policy are very welcome, urgency is needed to advance. Policy is critical to realise the potential of philanthropy for our society benefit. The time is 'Now', the opportunity is 'Now', the need is 'Now' as we move from crisis to continuity.
Contributions from the family donors not alone made philanthropy very real but highlighted the passion, interest, and commitment, to giving back that is inherent in the fabric of many families in Ireland. The inter-generational commitment augurs well for the future of philanthropy. But this cannot and should not be taken for granted, rather it should be supported. Using different models for their giving, both families noted the journey of giving, how it evolves and the importance of connecting their giving to their different passions. But there was consensus on the closing advice for other donors – 'Do it now'!
Corporate giving is vital to many causes. Speaking to their involvement in philanthropy, Fernando Vicario, CEO of Bank of America Europe DAC noted that it is not just about funding but more broadly and fundamentally it is about engagement. And not just engagement of the business, but personal engagement, underlining the need for leadership in business for effective engagement. Giving back for their business is about sharing success:
'One way of sharing success is by being active through philanthropic initiatives and this is core to Bank of America culture, and we believe in it'
While noting the importance of engaging in partnerships, this can be challenging for business. But in emphasising the need to find more sources to mobilise philanthropic capital, Fernando once again placed a focus on the 'Now' by saying it is expected by many stakeholders of businesses.
In the closing keynote address, Beth Breeze of Centre for Philanthropy in University of Kent, reflected on how much of what was discussed was not unique to Ireland. From her experience and studies, the perspectives being presented resonated. Drawing on the discussion she noted that giving is driven by passions, there is a desire for family involvement, which provides a platform for role modelling, and that there is little ego attached. In referencing support for philanthropy, it was noted that tax stimulus, rather than it being a negative, it can positively increase the amount of money available to give. Pointing to the value of philanthropy Beth noted that:
'During the pandemic, philanthropy played a really big role …..it was there for research, it was there for relief and now it needs to be there for rebuilding because actually a lot of things have gone backwards…… we need philanthropy now more than ever'.
Believing the opportunity and need for philanthropy is 'Now' was the definitive underlying message emerging throughout the discussion. We can support that through discussions such as this. As Beth referenced, 'it doesn't help if nobody talks about it'.
But an enabling environment remains critical to advancing philanthropy. We need policy and leadership if we are to activate all levers necessary to turn the dial. The time is 'Now'.
And that can be done – the words of Sasha Terfous presenting her poem, 'Hope', provided the inspiration that much can be achieved.
A sincere and profound thanks to all who contributed to the event – your insights, words and lived experiences made for rich and valuable discussion.

Q: correct the mobile regex pattern I have a mobile validation regex that currently supports such input text:
+91xxxxxxxxxx
0091xxxxxxxxxx

and is valid for 10 digit mobile number starting with 9 and 8.
Can anyone  modify the below regex so that input can start with any number from 1-9 and can also support country code format, e.g. 91xxxxxxxxxx fail to work exaclty as I want.
Here is the regex I tried:
^((\+|00)\d{1,3})?[89]\d{9}$

A: You can use this updated regex:
^((\+|00)?\d{1,3})?[1-9][0-9]{9}$

See demo
Changes made:

*

*[89]\d{9} changed to [1-9][0-9]{9} to let the number start with 1 and the rest 9 digits can be any

*(\+|00) changed to (\+|00)? so that we could omit checking for these leading symbols and validate numbers starting right with the country code.

A: your descriptions suggests mobile numbers start with
+918 or +919 or 00918 or 00919
^(\+|00)91[89]\d{9}$

Woman Finds Baby Crawling Near Dead Bodies Of Five Family Members

Woman Finds Baby Crawling Near Dead Bodies Of Five Family Members Fiji Facebook/Fiji Police Media/Twitter
A crying baby girl has been discovered crawling around close to the dead bodies of five family members in Fiji.
The tragic sight was initially discovered by a man on horseback who had been searching for his cattle in the Nausori Highlands. The bodies were discovered on a cliff in the scenic sightseeing destination on Monday, August 26.
The man was able to flag down a passing vehicle for assistance. The surviving child has been named as one-year-old Sumaira Kumar, and is reported to be the niece of one of the deceased.
Baby Fiji Dead Bodies Cliff Nausori Highlands Fiji Police Media/Twitter
Kelera Toloi, 25, came across two vehicles at the scene while on the way to pick something up from a farm, and learned there was a living child among the dead.
Upon seeing the cold and hungry child for herself, Kelera changed the little girl's nappy and fed her from a bottle. Kelera noted it was fortunate Sumaira wasn't yet able to walk, as she would have been at risk of falling from the cliff.
As reported by the Fiji Sun, Kelera said:
As a mother, it is a very sad scenario. I am really sad to see that. I grabbed her and changed her soggy diaper straight away and fed her two milk bottles.
By the looks of it, she was hungry but I wonder what inhumane mind could have done such a thing. Fortunately she did not walk or she would have fallen off the cliff.
Baby Fiji Dead Bodies Cliff Nausori Highlands Facebook
32-year-old carrier driver Mohammed Javid was the individual who retrieved Sumaira from the cliff, before calling the police.
As reported by the Fiji Sun, Mohammed said:
One man stopped me to say a baby was crying there. When I checked, there was a baby there and five bodies.
We brought the baby, who was alive and crying, and then I called the police. It was the first time I saw such a horrific incident after 14 years of travelling in this area.
Sumaira was then taken to hospital while the area was cordoned off for a police investigation. The deceased family members have since been named as Nirmal Kumar, 63, his wife Usha Devi, 54, their daughter Nileshni Kajal 34, and granddaughters, aged 11 and eight.
The results of post mortem examination suggest all five family members died as a result of ingesting a toxic substance. Investigators are said to be interviewing a person of interest, who had been known to the family.

I don't know if we can call it "winter blues" when we've yet to truly experience winter this year, but today it's cold and the sun won't shine, so I'm calling it. The winter blues are in swing.
The constant chilly drizzle combined with my ever growing list of Research Statistics due dates has me feeling all kinds of gloomy. I know the ways to fight it. Go to the gym. Increase those endorphins. Get some Vitamin D; if the sun won't provide it, take a supplement or buy a sun lamp. Eat more oranges. Listen to happy music. Take action. Do the things instead of think about the things. And yet, I will sit at home and grumpily stare at my statistics homework and pout. Because winter blues are the worst.
Some of us are truly affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder. I am not one. I get the winter blues every now and then because I would like the world to be something other than gray, but there is always an underlying issue that lengthens it's duration. And that is the real danger of the winter blues: it can dig up the roots of deep bitterness, sorrow and grief and provide us with an excuse to wallow. Currently I'm struggling with a lack of hope.
I grew up mindlessly reciting this scripture. As a kid, it was always tied to the persecution of Christians or some sort of suffering on the same level. But as an adult it's taken a different meaning. I read this passage this morning and wondered, "am I struggling to find hope, or am I rejecting hope?" On a first read through, I relate to this scripture. My sufferings produce endurance. Sure they do, and I take pride in it! When life gets hard, we tough it out. We are over-comers. Hupernikao! Right? Endurance produces character. I sure hope so. Being over-comers hopefully strengthens our character in more ways than one. I hope it increases compassion and understanding for others' situations. But "character produces hope"? Hope for what? And when does it kick in? Why do I always feel like I'm waiting for the next step, rather than taking hold of my hopes and dreams, and striving for those? Why am I rejecting the hope that should naturally come with the building of endurance and character?
Because hoping for something means there's a chance I might not get it. With hope comes expectation, when expectation is not fulfilled it hurts. Not getting what my heart expected hurts. And somewhere in my life, I've associated hurt with weakness and weakness with shame. If my sufferings produce endurance and endurance produces character, suffering should be making me strong, not weak! Either I'm not the only one who thinks this way, or Paul knew me when he was writing to the Romans.
The idea that hope will put me to shame is the lie I fight. Hurt is not shameful. Weakness is not shameful. Doubt is not shameful. God will not put my hope to shame, whether it is seemingly unfulfilled or genuinely unfulfilled. He can take all of that hurt and turn it into something even greater than I know. So I will hold on to this line until the day I die. There will be a day when my heart accepts what my head knows: hope will not put me to shame. Hope is the evidence that I trust and believe. Hope is my guiding light that there are far better things ahead than there are behind. That God is inviting me to take hold of His promises with the expectation of fulfillment, for He knows the desires of my heart far better than I ever could.

AncelorMittal is joining the trend of steelmakers moving into green hydrogen with this and spreading its footprint in renewable power generation. JSW Future Energy Limited, a subsidiary of JSW Energy Limited, has partnered with Australia's Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) to investigate green hydrogen generation and usage in India's industrial and transportation sectors. FFI and JSW Energy have agreed to collaborate and perform scoping study on prospective green hydrogen generation projects as part of their agreement. They also want to investigate the use of green hydrogen for hydrogen mobility, steelmaking, ammonia, and other industrial uses in India that have been jointly agreed upon.
Earlier this month, ArcelorMittal announced plans to cut its carbon intensity by 25 per cent by 2030 from 2018 levels. The initiative will be backed by a $10 billion investment over the next decade to help support its transition away from fossil fuels towards greener manufacturing technologies and clean energy sources.

What's Next For Big Little Lies After Season 2 Finale?
Tom Foster 4 years ago
For some the season 2 finale of Big Little Lies went out with a fizzle, while for some it ended in about the only way it seemed capable of doing. Yohana Desta of Vanity Fair seems to think that it might be open-ended enough to pursue a third season, despite the fact that each character arc seems to have been tidied up as much as fans might have wanted to see. It sounds like Nicole Kidman would be up for it, but only if the entire cast was involved once again. Whether that can happen or not is kind of up for debate at this moment since as many people know the likelihood of keeping an entire cast together is a test in futility at times since after a show is over without any concrete plans of coming back there's a good chance that the cast will scatter to other projects and be unavailable for some time to come. After all actors have to work and they have those expensive lifestyles to keep up with, and paying those bills does require that they get back out there and make it happen again and again. Much like a writer they tend to need to find other jobs to work on for a time so that they can keep the cash flow coming in.
With that in mind Lisa Respers France of CNN is of the mind that the fans badgering the studio about another season might work, but one thing about the fans trying to get their demands met over and over again is that it only works for so long. A lot of producers will gladly do what it takes to make the fans happy so long as the budget is there and they can make it work with the many stipulations that might arise, but after a while even those that are aware that keeping the fans happy tend to get tired of it all. Plus, no matter how many fan theories, great or not, get floated along the grapevine and into the ears of the right people, the producers and the director are going to do what they do best and run a story that might not be up to par or might be different from what people want to see. There are quite a few shows that would indicate that those in charge aren't always willing to listen to the fans since they've gone against the gran and the desires of those that wanted to see this or that and created something that fans either adapted to or simply lost their minds over. That could be the case with Big Little Lies since so far it would seem that the story has been concluded in a way that might offer a further arc for the ladies but at this moment seems to be resting just fine as it is.
Another surefire killer of any story is the fact that even with a notable opening the arc of the characters might be at a pleasing spot and they no longer have a well-defined way forward. People would and have argued this point up, down, sideways, and with as much force as they can to make their point, but the results are usually pretty typical. The fans can say whatever they want, but when a story arc runs out it's time to find another idea and try to develop and roll with it. Eventually the story might not end, but it will have to be stopped all the same as it won't offer anything new, fresh, or even engaging. When that happens then the story has been exhausted and the fans won't appreciate it no matter how much they try, and they'll have only their own expectations to blame. In the case of Big Little Lies the story has reached a pleasing conclusion where fans might want more but should possibly think about letting it sit as they move on to another series that will treat them just as kindly. Trying to milk as much from a story as possible rarely has a great ending since it will take every last strip of creativity that a writing pool has to make it work, and even then there's nothing guaranteed when it comes to pleasing the fans, who are at the best of times notoriously fickle.
There's a possibility for a third season, that much is obvious, but whether or not it will come along at this point is a good question that will hopefully be solved by the studio and not the constant demands of the fans. It's great that people want to see this show come back, and it's wonderful to see this kind of loyalty, but there will be other shows and other moments and characters that they'll come to love. Seriously, it might be time to let it rest for a while. Emma Baty of Cosmopolitan seems to get it, but will the fans?

The Blacklist Season 3 Episode 3 Review: "Eli Matchett (No. 72)"
Five Huge Surprises from This Season's Twin Peaks
I'll Watch Geostorm Because I Liked it When it was Called The Day After Tomorrow


LAKE MARY -- Trying to pinpoint where this all began . . .
Was it Sept. 1, when at exactly 8 o'clock in the morning a University of Miami coach called at the first minute allowed by NCAA rules?
Maybe it was last spring's recruiting period. Right at midnight on May 1, the phone rang, and it was a coach from Southern Cal on the other end trying to reach Keith Rivers.
Or you could go back to the football sensation's freshman year at Lake Mary High, back before he was even on the varsity team. That's when he got his first piece of collegiate recruiting mail -- from Rutgers.
Regardless of when it began, the big question now: When will it end?
Don't know Rivers? College football coaches do. In their world of recruiting, he's like Britney Spears walking into an all-boys prep school. He's one of the most sought-after football players ever to come out of Central Florida.
Most analysts agree the Lake Mary senior is the top graduating linebacker in the country. One recruiting service lists him as the nation's No. 3 prospect regardless of position ("Looks to be NFL-ready right now," the site proclaims).
Rivers is not shopping for a Hummer. He isn't designing shoes. And he isn't much for negotiating. In fact, with his weekend job and his list of chores at home, Rivers is as politely unassuming as you can be when you're a 6-foot-3, 220-pound carrot dangling in front of every college coach in the country.
Even though he doesn't want to visit any campuses until football season is over, and his final decision is at least a couple of months away, the recruitment process -- "It isn't always fun," Rivers says -- doesn't pause for anyone to catch a breath.
In the living room of Rivers and his family, it's unavoidable.
Rivers is making his third trip from his bedroom to the living room, with two more boxes stacked on top of each other. That's six boxes in all, and each is filled from end-to-end with envelopes and letters.
His brother, Gary, walks by and drops eight more unopened envelopes on the floor. "Here's today's," he says.
Even though Rivers has narrowed his college suitors to five schools -- Southern Cal, Florida, Oklahoma, Miami and Florida State -- the letters keep coming every day.
In these boxes are more than a thousand correspondences from just about every school in the country -- some form letters, many sloppily handwritten personal notes from some of the top coaches in the country. He's got them all here -- Notre Dame, Nebraska, Michigan, Stanford, etc.
"Check this one out," he says, opening an envelope and chuckling. "Butler Community College."
The process is actually much more calm than one might expect. That's because Rivers, under the guidance of his high school coach, Greg Stanton, has been almost methodical. Months ago, they went through a list of all 117 Division I-A schools and chose the top candidates. Since then, only schools that made that final cut have an assigned night to call Rivers on his cell phone. The others still mail letters, though, and some try calling the home phone.
The family has Caller ID -- they don't answer calls from numbers they don't recognize and the answering machine isn't hooked up.
"We get too many messages to have one," says Keith's father, Arthur Rivers, pointing to the Caller ID, which stores the numbers of the 99 most recent calls. He says in one day, the family missed 45 calls; all but a couple were for Keith.
As Arthur is explaining this, the home phone rings.
"Hello. . . . Keith? No, this is his father. . . . Well, he just stepped outside with a couple of friends. . . . OK. . . . Certainly . . . And who is this? . . . Michael with Gatorbait Magazine . . . OK . . . No problem. Bye-bye."
The coaches call and they chitchat. They talk about Keith's last game, about what's going on at school. They talk about how their college team did over the weekend, and they endlessly sell their program.
"They all have a plan for me," Rivers says. "Some people do negative recruiting. They usually say something about the other cities: 'No, you don't want to be in the big city. You want to be in a nice little college town where you don't even have to lock your doors.' "
Picking a college can be a difficult decision for any senior, but Rivers can't escape the looming question. On the Lake Mary practice field, though, around his friends and teammates, it doesn't seem to come up. At other times, it might be an interview request from a reporter, a phone call from a coach, or a teacher -- usually a UF or FSU alum -- asking whether Rivers is going to be a Gator or a 'Nole.
In his own mind, the pressure ebbs and flows.
"Early in the season, every play I made was like, 'Will this play be big enough next year?' " he says. "Every play, I feel like I have to make a killer hit. Each hit might just be normal next year. That kind of mellowed out for a while, but lately it's been weighing on me more."
Schools keep asking when he's making an official visit, some pushier than others. The answer: later.
In the meantime, he's been studying each school. He requests information from the coaches. He spends time on the Internet reading about the programs and about his own recruitment. He looks at rosters and depth charts.
The letters he receives are similar to the telephone conversations. They promise scholarships and playing time. They talk about 100 tutors "for your personal use." Many have bad handwriting, and one head coach extolled the academic virtues for incoming "stundents."
There's a reason Rivers seems so mature about the process. He wasn't raised to thrive off ego or to get too far ahead of himself.
Arthur Rivers took a different approach with Keith, the youngest of four children. The retired Air Force veteran wasn't as stern and was less aggressive raising Keith. Arthur Rivers' own life was built around discipline, raised by a father who didn't accept excuses and a mother whose catchphrase was, "You know better than that."
"With Keith, I just left him alone," Arthur says. "I told him, 'Whatever you do, however you do it, it'll be fine.' With the other ones, the more I tried to foster leadership and foster teamwork, the more they pushed away from it."
So now, you'll have to really search to spot Rivers' father at football games. "You won't see me," he says of his bleacher anonymity. He isn't a member of the parent-booster club and has spoken only with Stanton, the coach, a couple of times.
He's letting his son deal with the recruitment process, only talking occasionally to college coaches. There was that time that Keith ran to the store, and Arthur regrettably answered the telephone.
It was a coach from Oklahoma. After nearly 45 minutes of talking, everything from military life to geography, Arthur finally got off the phone.
"I got home," Keith says, "and he told me, 'I don't know about Oklahoma. They talk too much.' "
But he says he knows when it's time to step into the recruiting bubble, like that time he heard a young female voice on the cell-phone's voicemail. A week earlier, Rivers had boarded a plane for California, where he was attending a camp held by USC.
Arthur Rivers says he was very clear to USC coaches that the trip was to "foster football," and that other distractions or influences were unacceptable.
"He said, 'Uhm.' I told him, 'If you 'uhm,' you've done it. They apologized, but they were skating on thin ice with me."
Keith Rivers doesn't know about them, but there is that other mail -- the envelopes that aren't technically a part of the recruitment process.
They arrive at Lake Mary High, addressed to Coach Stanton. The recruitment process is followed on the Internet as closely as the stock market. The instant access has brought alums, boosters and body-painting fanatics closer to the process.
"It's gotten to the point they don't even leave me alone," Stanton says. "I get phone calls from coaches, I get phone calls from reporters, from dot.com experts -- they're the worst."
Stanton doesn't show his star athlete any of the mail, and he doesn't let Rivers answer the autograph requests.
"Right now, he just needs to focus on football," Stanton says.

Anděl Metro Station
Anděl is a very busy metro station and tram junction in the Smíchov district in Prague's greater city centre. Opposite the metro exit there is one of Prague's biggest shopping centres (Nový Smíchov). There are also numerous office buildings, as well as restaurants and bars. On the other side of the metro station there is Na Knížecí bus station.
Anděl station is on metro line B (yellow) on the way from the centre to Zličín. It is 3 stops from Můstek (Wenceslas Square) or 5 stops from Florenc (central bus station). Anděl is the first station in this direction which is on the other side of the river. Neighbouring stations are Karlovo náměstí (to centre) and Smíchovské nádraží (to Zličín).
The station has two exits, one on each end of the platform. On the surface they are quite far from one another, therefore it's good to know which direction you should go and pay attention to the signs when you exit the train. The exit which goes in the city centre direction takes you to the big tram junction and to Nový Smíchov shopping centre. The other takes you to Na Knížecí bus station (buses to Český Krumlov depart from here, among others).
The map below shows the location of the first exit, which is at the junction of four busy streets with trams – Štefánikova, Lidická, Nádražní and Plzeňská.
Tram Services at Anděl
The best connection from Anděl to many places in the historical centre is actually not the metro, but the trams. They are faster especially when going to Lesser Quarter, Prague Castle or Charles Bridge. Conversely, for Wenceslas Square or Old Town the metro is better. To get from Anděl to Malostranské náměstí (Lesser Quarter Square – the access point for Prague Castle and Charles Bridge), take tram number 12, 15 or 20. It takes 7 minutes.
A Bit of History: Soviets Turned Angels
Anděl, which means angel in Czech, is the historical name of the area. However, the metro station itself has only been called that since 1990. Between its opening in 1985 and 1990 its name was Moskevská (Moscow station), in order to celebrate the partnership between then communist Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. After the revolution it was renamed to Anděl for political reasons, but you can still see part of the original Moscow decoration (and the inscription "Moskva-Praha") on the walls of the station's entrance (the one to Na Knížecí).
Soviet technology was widely used when Prague metro was built in the 1970's and 1980's. At the same time when "Moscow station" in Prague was constructed in 1985, Czech engineers helped to construct "Prague station" (Prazhskaya) in Moscow. While Moscow station in Prague was intended to look like a typical Russian metro station, Prague station in Moscow was designed in the Prague style (it looks much like some metro stations built in Prague in the same period). Unlike the Czechs, the Russians have not tried to erase the history and still call that station Prazhskaya (it is on Moscow metro line 9).
In the city of Prague there are numerous places where a careful observer can see and feel the history of Prague and how much some things have changed since then (and by history we don't always mean Middle Ages). Some places in the metro network are among the best preserved relics of the communist era, although most have been redesigned since then, particularly after the big flood in 2002.
Shops, Restaurants and Nightlife
On the surface around Anděl station things are very modern and lively. The place is a popular restaurant and bar district for locals, partly thanks to its location on the way from the city centre to densely populated residential areas further on metro line B. It is one of those places in the centre where you will actually see locals outnumbering tourists.
Most of the action happens in the four main streets which cross at Anděl station (Nádražní, Plzeňská, Štefánikova, Lidická) and the closer you are to the metro, the wider the range of options. That said, there are some gems to be found in the smaller side streets. There is also Futurum Music Bar, one of Prague's biggest clubs, in Zborovská street about halfway between Anděl and the Dancing House.
Hotels near Anděl Station
Besides many restaurants, bars and shops, the area around Anděl station has plenty of accommodation options. The concentration of hotels is not as high as in Old Town or Lesser Quarter, but it is one of those second tier hotel districts immediately surrounding the historical centre. Its main upside is convenience and public transport access, although it is actually still close enough to walk to the main tourist district (10 minutes to Lesser Quarter and it's a pleasant walk).

Cabochon star sapphire set in gold
Bequeathed by the Rev. Chauncy Hare Townshend
Jewellery, Rooms 91, The William and Judith Bollinger Gallery, case 50, shelf B, box 20
Sapphires and rubies are varieties of the mineral corundum, the hardest gem mineral after diamond. Small quantities of chromium in corundum cause rubies to be red. Sapphire is the name given to any other gem corundum. Varying amounts and combinations of iron, titanium and chromium cause the range of colours of sapphires, from blues to yellows, pink-oranges and greens. The name of this type of sapphire comes from the star effect caused by the reflection of light within the crystal.
This ring forms part of a collection of 154 gems bequeathed to the V&A by the Reverend Chauncy Hare Townshend, a cleric and poet. Sir A. H. Church gave additional specimens in 1913. He also compiled the first catalogue Precious Stones: A Guide to the Townshend Collection. The first edition appeared in 1883. The stones are mounted as rings, although they may not have been intended to be worn.
Ring with a pale grey blue star sapphire cut as an oval cabochon and set in a gold mount.
Height: 0.5 in, Width: 0.375 in
The Reverend Chauncy Hare Townshend bequeathed his important collection of 154 gems to the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) in 1869. Although the collection is not as comprehensive as that found at the Natural History Museum, it is of particular historic interest as its formation pre-dates the development of many synthetic gemstones and artificial enhancements. All the stones were mounted as rings before they came to the Museum, mainly in a series of standardised gold settings, often of the coronet or galleried type. However, several specimens are set with greater elaboration, with diamond borders surrounding the central stone. Some of these were originally in the possession of Henry Philip Hope (d.1839), a brother of the novelist and antiquary Thomas Hope (c. 1770-1831). H.P. Hope formed a famous collection of diamonds and precious stones which was largely inherited by his three nephews. His collection, which included the Hope blue diamond, now in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, was catalogued by B. Hertz in 1839.
Townshend is recorded as having made purchases from it and his acquisitions are noted below. He also seems to have remounted several of his purchases, in whole or in part.

where does mathematics come from
It is difficult to imagine a world without mathematics. A separate article, South Asian mathematics, focuses on the early history of mathematics in the Indian subcontinent and the development there of the modern decimal place-value numeral system. The way in which these civilizations influenced one another and the important direct contributions Greece and Islam made to later developments are discussed in the first parts of this article. While it is the later, more advanced mathematical constructs (like the calculus or quantum mechanics) that tend to garner much attention, we must sometimes pause to appreciate the foundation upon which they are built: the works of Archimedes and Euclid and Abu'l-Hasan al-Uqlidisi, and the patien tallying of forward-thinking neolithic people whose names we will never know. Updates? The substantive branches of mathematics are treated in several articles. The most ancient evidence of counting comes to us by way of notches carved into lengths of bone, arranged in sets to track periodic events like the phases of the moon or the days between the seasonal equinoxes, or perhaps even the years of a person's life. Is there a relationship between the number of days of rainfall and the height of crops? What's my share of the war spoils from this village our armies have just decimated?

Even if we could easily dream of a history devoid of the inventions and learning applied mathematics has made possible, it strains the mind to imagine a world without even simple counting. India's contributions to the development of contemporary mathematics were made through the considerable influence of Indian achievements on Islamic mathematics during its formative years. This was followed by a great celebration among the goats who would otherwise have been satisfied to appease the gods in meagre hope of staving off the next eclipse.

Raiders vs. 49ers Game Recap: Everything you need to know
Source: Raiders
By Sanjit T
The Raiders and 49ers squared off Sunday for both teams' final preseason game. Preseason games are not always the most entertaining matches, especially the final exhibition game, which is typically a dress rehearsal for both teams. However, early last week Kyle Shanahan confirmed his plans to play every starter against the Silver and Black.
The Raiders, however, took the opposite approach and let every starter, including most backups that had already won a roster spot, take the day off.
For the Raiders, that meant they'd have third-string players going up against first-stringers, and it was evident from the first drive of the game. The Raiders started the game on offense and quickly went three and out. The 49ers went downfield on back-to-back offensive drives and scored touchdowns against the Raiders third stringers.
In the end, the Raiders lost 34-10 but Jon Gruden and the team learned a lot from this final preseason game, let's get into some of the game notes.
Gerald McCoy
Gerald McCoy was the star of the day for the Las Vegas Raiders against the 49ers. We saw the future Hall of Fame defensive tackle play in his first game in over a year. He got the start for the Silver and Black, and from the moment the game started, it was clear McCoy is a talented star.
Multiple times against the 49ers starting offensive line throughout the first two drives, McCoy beat the Niners guards and center with a variety of different techniques. On one play, it was him swimming over the center. The next was his impressive get-off. McCoy had himself a game against the 49ers and will likely be the Raiders starter against the Ravens.

Damon Arnette
Damon Arnette has locked himself in as the Raiders third outside corner with now full-time outside corner Amik Robertson not too far behind. Arnette was tested twice against the 49ers first-string players, and he knocked both passes incomplete. He didn't play much today, but it's clear Arnette is a much different player this year. He finished the game with two tackles and two pass breakups.
Trey Ragas
Trey Ragas finished the game with 9 carries for 39 yards on the ground and 3 catches for 15 yards through the air. He also broke 4 tackles against the 49ers. BJ Emmons, who was Ragas' primary competition for the third running back spot had 7 carries for 11 yards. It's safe to say the more explosive Ragas will end up being the third running back on this roster.
Amik Robertson
Amik Robertson has had a really solid preseason for the Raiders after moving from the nickel position to the outside corner spot. Against the 49ers starters, Robertson didn't allow any catches and had a really nice rep in coverage as he played over the top of one 49ers wide receiver:

— Jesse Merrick (@JesseNews3LV) August 29, 2021
Robertson has locked himself in as the Raiders' fourth outside corner after a really impressive few games in the preseason.
Jimmy Morrissey
Jimmy Morrissey started the full game for the Raiders. His main competition for the backup center spot, Nick Martin, got the day off. Morrissey stepped up and did really well. Although he isn't locked in to make the roster, there is a good chance he will be with this team in one way or another, whether that be via practice squad or the Raiders potentially carrying three centers this year.
Divine Deablo
After an injury to the Raiders Will linebacker Javin White against the Los Angeles Rams, the Raiders weren't sure how to move forward. But after seeing rookie linebacker Deablo, the Raiders are in a good spot moving forward. Deablo had 9 total tackles for the Raiders. Multiple times he was in good position to force the quarterback to not throw it into his zone.
It'll be interesting to see how the Raiders choose to cut down their roster to 53 players. They have some issues on the offensive line, so instead of carrying a fourth offensive tackle, they could choose to carry an extra center and use Denzel Good as a fourth tackle, if needed. Either way, the NFL deadline to get down to 53 players is 4 PM EST on Tuesday.
