Barcelona: La Liga
Robert Lewandowski is already the star of the show at Barcelona
The new center forward is scoring goals and fitting right in

Being a new center forward at Barcelona isn't easy, and there's always the question of how long it will take to adapt, and whether it will work out at all.
Luis Suarez famously needed time for things to click with his teammates, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic was gone after one year.
With Robert Lewandowski, who just turned 34 years old, it felt different from the beginning.
For one, there are no superstars on this team. In fact, we may be living in a post superstar footballing world, with the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar starting to fade from view.
But there will always be room for humble professionals who we can all recognize as the best at their position.
Lewandowski still holds that mantle, and you can see that he is more motivated than ever to keep it that way, especially with the likes of Erling Haaland applying pressure by scoring a hat-trick this weekend, and eager to steal his shine.

Make no mistake, the Pole will not go gentle into that good night of his career.
He is perfectly fit and as hungry as ever to be the best footballer he can be.
It's starting to look like forcing an exit from Bayern Munich was a great personal decision. He knew they were moving past him, and that Barcelona was eager to secure his services, and to build their team around him in the short term.
Lewy is betting on himself. Like Pep Guardiola said, this is one of the most professional athletes you will ever meet. No one knows that better than the man himself who puts in the work every day to stay at the top of his game.
He has shown no signs of slowing down and works harder than anyone on the field. It's amazing to see him check into the midfield to help in the build up, and then immediately sprint down the field to get behind a defender. He never stops moving.
And in the final third, it's pure goal scoring instinct.
Consider Lewandowski's first four goals for Barcelona.
First, against Real Sociedad, he came across and rescued a miscued cross from Alejandro Balde.
Later in the same game, he did the same thing with with a ball that Ansu Fati fought to just keep alive.
Against Real Valladolid, he came flying out of nowhere to get onto Raphinha's cross, and he didn't have a millisecond to spare.
Finally, he capitalized on a great run from Dembele, but scored on a final ball that was just behind him, from an impossible angle, with whatever part of the foot that was necessary, while covered by a defender, and with a goalkeeper closing down.

Robert Lewandowski continues to be the real deal, and he is doing more than scoring goals. He's filling a leadership void.
Last season, the concern was whether Barca was developing a Pedri dependence. Too much was being asked of the young midfielder.
Other players, like Frenkie de Jong and Ousmane Dembele, are world class, but aren't players you necessarily turn to when your back is against the wall. In the past, there was always Messi who would come to the rescue just when you needed him.
Now, all the other guys can just focus on being excellent players. They don't need to be our new superstars, at least not right away.
Lewandowski is capable of taking on that pressure. He is a leader on the field and in the locker room, both by his professional example, and by his performances on the pitch.
But even he needs the right players around him, and a system that prioritizes giving him service, although don't get me wrong, if the ball doesn't come to him, he will go and find it.
In this case, Lewandowski knows how good he has it to be surrounded on all sides by Pedri, Dembele, Raphinha, and Frenkie. These are players who are more than happy and capable of putting him in positions to succeed in front of goal.
I for one appreciated that Xavi went back and simplified his system in this game. From the beginning, the balance was right, and everyone knew their role and quickly overwhelmed Real Valladolid.
They did benefit from playing against a low tier opponent who isn't afraid to play openly.
Questions will continue to be asked when Barcelona plays a team like Rayo Vallecano who sit deep, waste time, and play anti-football.
But with a center forward like Lewandowski, there is hope that, more times than not, this Barcelona team will find a way.
My wish as the transfer window closes, however, is that Pierre Emerick Aubameyang stays as well. We don't want to run anyone into the ground, and Lewandowski will need rest to keep him performing at his best.
Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, and Memphis Depay aren't nearly as effective through the middle, and let's not even mention Ferran Jutgla's name given his form with his new club.
Barcelona will need depth and rotation, and if they can wake up on September 1st with most of this roster still intact, they will have what they need to compete for every trophy.
That's why Lewandowski is here. Anything less is not acceptable.

Hammeroid | Episode 32
21st March 2017 23rd March 2017 The Sledgecast Team Season 2
The thirty second episode of Sledge Hammer was titled Hammeroid and was the tenth episode of the show's second season. After suffering serious injuries in a fight with an android, Sledge is fitted with some cybernetic enhancements of his own. In this podcast Gerry and Iain look at a moment of passion for Hammer and Doreau.
http://traffic.libsyn.com/heardyet/sledgecast-ep32-hammeroid.mp3
After a seemingly indestructible villain robs an armoured van Sledge and Dori's investigations lead them to the laboratory of Dr Arthur (Art) Deco (Richard Moll), who confirms the criminal is in fact an android of his own creation named BORC. It appears BORC is under the control of Deco's former colleague Malcolm Dench (Armin Shimerman) and set to continue his violent rampage.
After a crushing encounter, Sledge is close to death but Deco installs a series of cybernetic implants which not only keep him alive, but make him part-android. Hammer's network of informants lead him to General Skull Fracture (Sid Haig) who succumbs to Sledge's robotic attempts at persuasion and gives up Dench's location, setting up a grand finale where Dori must face the possibility of losing Hammer for good.
The episode was directed by Gary Walkow, his second of three stints behind the Sledge Hammer! camera, and was written by Ron Friedman, his only contribution to the series. A year earlier Friedman wrote the classic animated Transformers movie, still the best Transformers movie ever produced.
If you have thoughts on any aspect of Hammeroid please share them below, or find us on Twitter at @sledgecast.
Hammeroid was released in 1987. It is 30 minutes long and originally aired on the ABC network. This episode is available on the Sledge Hammer DVD box set from Laser Paradise (German/English language) in Region 2 and from Image Entertainment in Region 1 (USA).

We Need to Stop Assuming Progress Is Always Positive
Anders Koskinen
Franco. Mussolini. Stalin. Hitler. Castro. Mao Ze Dong. Pol Pot.
The 20th century was full of dictatorships which reached new heights of cruelty and butchery never imagined in centuries prior. Unfortunately, this cruelty flies in the face of the American belief that progress is undeniable and a decidedly positive force in human history.
How did we ever come to the assumption that society progresses as it moves along? Why do we view our predecessors and forefathers as morally inferior to ourselves in this supposedly enlightened age?
Lest we think this is a mindset only afflicting today's younger generations, let's take a look at G. K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man. Published in 1925, the book was a rebuttal to H. G. Wells' The Outline of History.
Chesterton took issue with Wells' depiction of human development and civilization. Using ancient Egypt as an example, Chesterton dissects the notion that the progress of humanity and civilization is an inevitable march towards greater freedom, happiness, and prosperity.
[I]t is emphatically not true that it [the state] was most despotic in the earliest age and grew more liberal in a later age; the practical process of history is exactly the reverse. It is not true that the tribe began in the extreme of terror of the Old Man and his seat and spear; it is probable, at least in Egypt, that the Old Man was rather a New Man armed to attack new conditions. His spear grew longer and longer and his throne rose higher and higher, as Egypt rose into a complex and complete civilization. That is what I mean by saying that the history of the Egyptian territory is in this the history of the earth; and directly denies the vulgar assumption that terrorism can only come at the beginning and cannot come at the end.
For Chesterton, the consolidation of power by the state may have benefits, but they come at a cost. Individuals cede their freedom and self-determination to the state in exchange for security and stability. The larger and more complex the state and civilization, the greater the power needed to exercise any degree of control over it.
Chesterton continues:
We do not know what was the very first condition of the more or less feudal amalgam of land owners, peasants and slaves in the little commonwealth beside the Nile; but it may have been a peasantry of an even more popular sort. What we do know is that it was by experience and education that little commonwealths lose their liberty; that absolute sovereignty is something not merely ancient but rather relatively modern; and it is at the end of the path called progress that men return to the king.
Throughout history, the greater emergence of the state required greater amounts of power to control citizens. Much has been promised in the name of the common good, only to end in genocide, famine, and failure. Humanity is not destined to reach a higher moral plane with each successive generation. Each individual human must fight to make that happen, and the paths to figuring out how to do so and what to fight for are not as straightforward as some would have us believe.
We shouldn't look down so much on previous generations of humanity. In many instances, history has proven them to be far more moral and free than those who came after them.

6 Top Tech Companies to Work For in Toronto
By Kelsey Miller | April 15, 2019
According to a recent report from BMO Capital Markets, the Toronto technology industry is growing at a rapid pace, rising in the ranks of other North American tech hubs like the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and Washington D.C.
In fact, the city is now recognized as the fourth-largest tech market in North America, as it is home to roughly 214,000 tech workers. The report also projects that growth in the tech sector will drive the province's economy to see a healthy two percent increase in 2019. With this information in mind, it is easy to see why talented professionals in the tech industry (or those who are considering a career in the tech industry) are flocking to Toronto to build their careers.
If you're thinking about starting a tech career in the Toronto area, below is a list of some of the region's top tech companies that you should watch in 2019, as well as some tips that you can use to increase your chances of being hired for a competitive position.
Top Tech Companies is the Toronto, Ontario Area
1. Ecobee
Ecobee is a home automation company that creates smart thermostats designed to save customers money and conserve energy. The company was founded in 2007 by Stuart Lombard, who created the product through his personal mission to reduce his family's carbon footprint. Since then, the company has experienced tremendous growth and is a recognized leader in the smart home market.
Social impact is a driving force of Ecobee's corporate culture. According to Fatima Crerar, Director of Social Impact at Ecobee, it's one of the best parts of becoming a part of this team.
In her words: "I can bring my values here, I can bring my ethics here, I can stand up for the things I believe in, and not only there room for them at Ecobee but its core to our brand."
Across the variety of positions at this company, one thing is clear: Ecobee employees are innovative and driven. Colleagues are often working together to solve problems and learn from each other, creating a company-wide system of support. As a growing company, there are always new opportunities for people to join the Ecobee team.
2. Top Hat
Mike Silagadze and Mohsen Shahini came together in 2009 with the simple desire to make education better. As a result, Top Hat was born. The co-founders created an educational platform that uses students' smartphones to deliver online homework and interactive content. Educators can use Top Hat to easily take attendance, administer quizzes, and create collaborative spaces focused on course material.
Today, Top Hat is used at 75 percent of the top 1,000 colleges and universities in North America and is continuously expanding its team to keep up with its growth. Benefits and perks like daily lunch, team social events, and access to industry events within the Toronto tech industry make Top Hat a great place for professionals to expand their careers.
Tonia, a Software Developer, says, "The witty and brilliant minds, the fun board games and foosball culture, the what-I-do-matters motivation, and, of course, the real difference we are making in the education space are what make Top Hat an awesome workplace." If you are interested to see the types of employment opportunities that are available, be sure to check out Top Hat's careers page.
3. Shopify
Shopify was launched in 2006 when its creators attempted to open an online snowboard equipment store and were dissatisfied with the existing e-commerce product on the market. So, they put their heads together and built their own e-commerce platform which allows merchants to easily manage every aspect of their business.
In just over a decade of business, Shopify now has five offices across North America, including one in Toronto, and has helped 800,000 active online stores make more than $100 billion in sales. Shopify is always looking to add new members to the team as the brand continues to grow. New opportunities are regularly added to the company's careers page.
Shopify's workplace atmosphere puts its people at the center of everything, empowering them to be innovative and impactful. Gregor Bingham said, "Shopify allows me to do my best work, and to work with the people who make this company great."
4. Ubisoft
If you have ever had an interest in video games, you are likely familiar with Ubisoft. The French video game company is a global leader in the industry with development studios around the world, including Canada. Ubisoft Toronto has established a talented team of creators that blend art and technology to bring gaming to life.
Ubisoft Toronto is also an advocate for diversity, growth, and positive change in STEM education and careers. Through the studio's Giveback Initiatives, employees and partners work to make a difference in their local community.
Ubisoft Toronto has numerous employment opportunities across all aspects of game development for those interested in a career in this industry. In addition, there are opportunities for students and new graduates to build their professional skills at Ubisoft Toronto, including the Ubisoft Graduate Program which allows students to become active members of the production teams at two international studios.
5. Cisco
Perhaps one of the names in the Toronto tech industry is Cisco, a multinational technology company that creates networking hardware, telecommunications equipment, and other high-tech products. As a company that relies on innovation for its success, it's no surprise that a strong team of creative problem solvers is at its foundation.
Cisco provides an agile work environment where employees can explore their ideas, test the norm, and develop their personal and professional skills. In turn, team members are expected to commit to the company's values to help customers achieve their highest potential and relentlessly pursue a smarter, better, faster future.
Benefits of working at Cisco include generous paid time off, employee discount programs, and even tuition reimbursement for those with aspirations of obtaining more advanced education. Cisco is a massive company with endless room to grow. Keep an eye on their careers page to see what opportunities are available.
6. Oracle
Another big name in the Toronto tech scene is, of course, Oracle. As a key player in the computer software industry, the company primarily specializes in developing database software and technology, cloud engineered systems, and enterprise software products.
In 2018, Oracle came in as the third largest software producer by revenue, only behind Microsoft and Alphabet.
At Oracle, both employees and executives believe flexibility is key to increased innovation. As such, employees are encouraged to collaborate openly with one another, achieve work-life balance, and take advantage of flexible work schedules and environments. In addition, Oracle offers unmatched benefits including employee assistance programs, commuter benefit programs, and much more.
When asked to sum up the workplace, CEO of Oracle, Mark Hurd, says, "We're focused on being a destination company for talented people who want to grow their careers in an environment that values diversity, teamwork, and the ability to execute Oracle's strategy." If your dream is to someday work at a company like Oracle, keep an eye on their open positions to see what roles are in high demand.
Building the Career of Your Dreams
If you have a goal of working at one of the companies in this list, it's important to note that each individual company does, of course, have its own unique requirements when they consider applicants. While there is no one way to make yourself stand out during the application process, you should consider the benefits of earning an advanced degree in your field of interest to demonstrate your knowledge in that area.
If your interests are of a more technical nature, degrees such as a Master's in Cybersecurity, Analytics, Engineering Management, or other related programs could help you expand your skill set and advance your chances of landing a highly-sought after position at one of these companies.
On the other hand, if you are more focused on the business operations behind the tech industry, furthering your knowledge and experience through a Master's in Innovation, Leadership, Project Management, or another area of study can help you to demonstrate the value that you would bring to an organization. Learn more about the opportunities that Northeastern University-Toronto's programs can offer to help you break into Toronto's tech scene.

This report summarizes research findings for Media Viewer, a new multimedia browser aimed at Wikimedia readers and casual editors. This tool was developed by Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team from July 2013 to December 2014 (see project timeline).
Key findings include image views, enabled rates, activity and performance metrics, as well as to usability tests and user feedback. This research was conducted to inform product development and learn more about the tool's usage, speed and overall impact.
See companion slides for a visual presentation of the research outlined below.
This annotated screenshot shows key features of Media Viewer's final user interface.
Ahu-Akivi Photo by Ian Sewell licensed under CC-BY-SA-3.0 via Wikimedia Commons.
The effectiveness of these features was tracked through a range of research tools, from behavioral metrics to usability tests, as described below.
We did extensive research throughout Media Viewer's development and after its release in 2014, to learn more about the tool's usage, performance and impact.
Throughout the year, research metrics and user feedback guided our product development, at each step of the way. Read on for more detailed findings on each method.
Global image views average about 23 M views per day: they fluctuate between 20M and 26M/day, with fewer views on weekends.
Monthly image views (712M) represent about 3.4% of monthly page views (20B) on all our sites.
Note that many these image views may not have been intentional, such as people pressing the previous button to go back to an earlier image (see next section).
Global image views for Media Viewer were about 23 million per day in November 2014, versus 3.4 million for file pages, for a combined total of 27 million daily image views.
During that period, file page views declined by 73%, from about 12 million in May, before Media Viewer was launched on English and German Wikipedias, down to about 3 million by the end of 2014.
Note that these metrics do not include the variance from earlier releases on other large wikis like the French or Spanish Wikipedias and Wikimedia Commons, as we did not collect all these metrics prior to May 2014.
So the actual variance is likely to be higher, but would require more research to determine.
On that basis, 'intentional' image views can be estimated at about 17M (versus ~6M for 'unintentional' views).
Overall, how often users look at images increased significantly with the deployment of Media Viewer - the sum of file page visits plus 'intentional' Media Viewer views, grew by about 50% after the release on English and German Wikipedias.
Percent of global logged-in users with Media Viewer enabled or disabled as of Dec. 8, 2014, by user group. Source: WMF.
Media Viewer was enabled for about 99.54% of logged-in visitors to Wikimedia sites as of December 8, 2014 (versus 0.46% disabled).
Enabled/disabled rates seem to be stabilizing across all logged-in user groups.
Anonymous opt-outs and opt-ins increased in early September, after File Usage was removed, making the Disable/Enable links easier to find.
After the Enlarge feature was released in late September, global anonymous opt-outs dropped by about 60%, from 2.2k opt-outs per day down to 1k. The Enlarge feature addresses one of the most frequent user requests, enabling users to zoom in on images.
After a more prominent Disable/Enable button was released in November, anonymous opt-outs events nearly tripled, from 1k back up to 3k opt-outs per day -- and opt-outs by logged-in users also increased to an average of 100 opt-outs/day.
By the end of 2014, opt-outs for both anonymous and logged-in users had dropped by half again, from a peak of 3.6k down to 1.9k total opt-outs per day.
Opt-outs by logged-in users surged briefly in late August, after the default for Wikimedia Commons was switched to opt-in for logged-in users, to facilitate curation on that multimedia file repository.
Other feature changes did not seem to impact opt-outs by logged-in users, which were steady at about 65 opt-outs/day by year-end.
Opt-ins by anonymous users seemed less impacted by feature changes, representing about one-sixth of opt-outs by the end of the year. (Note that opt-ins by logged-in users is not shown, due to a bug).
Note that for technical reasons, it is quite hard for anonymous users to re-enable Media Viewer on most wikis, unless they do so right after disabling. So the opt-in events on this chart may be due to users trying out the disable feature and choosing to re-enable it.
Here are some of the user actions tracked through EventLogging in 2014. Please refer to the image in the Features section above to see how these actions are shown in Media Viewer's final user interface.
Every day, we log an average of 10 million clicks on thumbnails in articles -- and almost as many clicks on the Next and Previous buttons. This new browsing feature did not exist before Media Viewer. Its widespread use suggests that Media Viewer may be adding value for millions of readers, who would not be using this browsing feature if they did not find it useful.
History tracks how often users navigate within Media Viewer using their browser's history.
To address frequent requests for a 'zoom' function, a new 'Enlarge' feature lets you click on an image to view its original file in full resolution: it is now used 12x more often (1M/days) than the full screen feature (93k/day), as of December 7, 2014. We also observed a dramatic decline in opt-out rates after this new feature was introduced (as shown in a separate graph).
This data and our design research suggest that the Enlarge feature significantly improved overall user experience by enabling users to view images in detail. In usability studies, the full screen feature is still found useful, because it lets you fill the screen with the selected image -- but not as useful as zooming onto the image.
This chart compares global daily events for opening (or closing) the metadata panel, versus clicking on 'more details' to go to file description pages: the metadata panel is now used 400x more often (1.3M/day) than the 'More details' button (~67k) in Media Viewer. Note that this total includes scrolling events to open the metadata panel (1.2M/day), as well as keyboard presses on the up arrows (130k).
It's also worth noting that the metadata panel open frequency is around 7% of image view frequency, so people actually use the panel fairly often (way more than the 'More details' button to access the file description page, which is ~0.25%).
Overall, this data suggests that the metadata panel is valuable to users.
The Download panel is opened more often (74k / day) than the Disable/Enable panel (26k / day -- labeled 'options' in this graph) or the Share/Embed panel (20k / day -- labeled 'use this file' in this graph).
In the information that appears below the image, users click more often on Source links (7k/day) than on Author links (3k/day).
They also click a bit more on 'View terms' (4k/day) than on License links (3k/day - e.g. 'CC-BY-SA').
Predictably, links that are below the fold (e.g. Uploader, About) get fewer clicks than above the fold, because users have to scroll down or click on an ellipsis to open the metadata panel that contains them. It's also worth noting that clicks on source and terms decreased by half after we launched the captions above the fold, perhaps because that new information in the first two lines detracted from those links on the third line.
After the new Enlarge feature was released, we observed a dramatic 20x increase in clicks for this popular 'zoom' feature, one of the most frequent user requests. By clicking anywhere on the image, users can now go to the original file and use their browser's zoom tool to enlarge image details.
The release of the the big blue 'More details' button also registered a 3x increase in clicks, compared to the Commons icon that was featured before (both link to the file description page).
And giving the Download feature its own icon increased clicks by 3x as well (it used to be a tab in a single 'Use this file' panel, along with 'Share' and 'Embed').
This chart compares image load times between Media Viewer and the File page in Dec. 2014.
It suggests that load times are about the same, with a median load time of 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds -- even though Media Viewer typically loads larger images than the File Page.
For the 95th percentile (the longest average load for 95% of users), both viewing methods are also on par, with load times in the 8-10 seconds range. Note that File Page performance improved significantly after WMF implemented a switch to HHVM in November 2014: prior to that, Media Viewer was loading images about twice as fast as the file page.
This chart shows the average duration of image loads per country, in milliseconds, as a reflection of network performance. Faster load times are shown in green, slower load times in red.
Overall network performance seems related to Internet bandwith in each region, with faster load times in developed countries than in the developing world.
A growing number of images shown in Media Viewer now have machine-readable data for author, source or license information.
These ratios have been increasing steadily, as a percent of image views: 97% now have license information, 86% have sources and 86% have authors.
These improvements are related to a recent drive to clean up metadata for multimedia files across Wikimedia sites.

See User Study 4 Report (November 2014).
See Media Viewer Talk Page.
All RfCs asked that Media Viewer be disabled by default.
For the most part, the WMF did not fulfill these requests, due to concerns about the lack of representation, but committed to more improvements, based on community consultation (see next section).
Note that the Foundation partially implemented the Commons RfC request, acknowledging the differences in usage patterns between Wikimedia Commons and "reader-facing" wikis: Media Viewer's default configuration was switched to 'opt-in' for registered users on that site in August 2014.
Here are the final survey results, based on 18,199 global responses as of July 8, 2014, when all surveys ended.
Note that this was an optional survey, so approval rates should not be cited as a conclusive metric, as they are subject to self-selection bias. Editors are vastly overrepresented (half of the respondents self-identified as editors), the volume of responses is much higher in the first few days following deployments, and smaller wikis are overrepresented since the surveys have been running for longer there. The primary purpose of the survey was to collect user comments in order to improve the tool -- not to use approval ratings as a definitive measure of success.
Keeping these caveats in mind, 56% of global respondents found the tool "useful for viewing images and learning about them", with 35% responding "not useful" and 9% "not sure", as shown on this spreadsheet.
Readers responded more positively than editors, with 65% of them finding Media Viewer useful, based on 7,582 reader survey responses in 7 languages, over a 12-week period, from 14 April to 7 July, 2014 (see linked spreadsheet).
Weekly reader approval rates are shown here for each language. The drop in non-English rates in May-June may be due to non-English readers of Enwiki and Commons: the surveys are based on interface language, not content language.
Cumulative "useful" approval ratings from all users varied greatly by language: English 36%, French 70%, Spanish 78%, Dutch 59%, Portuguese 81%, German 30%, Hungarian 63%, Catalan 71%.
Overall approval rates from English users gradually increased in the month following launch: the weekly percentage of survey respondents who found Media Viewer useful ("yes") grew from 26% in May to 52% in June 2014. Note that the survey response rate fell at the same time, as shown in these results.
Again, note that this was an optional survey, so approval rates should not be cited as a conclusive metric, as they are subject to self-selection bias. They are only shown here for the record, as they were frequently referred to in community discussions.
This research was collected and analyzed for over a year by many different individuals, who worked diligently, above and beyond the call of duty, to help the development team make more informed decisions. We are very grateful to everyone who made this possible!

Car and Driver: Buy Patrick Long's Amazing Rally Porsche 911, Support Cancer Research
-Rally-built Porsche 911s are, simply put, the best. There is something indescribably delightful about watching a rear-engined Porsche best known for its thoroughbred track and street credentials getting wickedly crossed-up in the dirt at speed. If that sounds like your kind of awesome, now you can get in on the action—and support a fantastic cause in the process.
The rally-ready 911 you see here started life as a 1985 Carrera with 79,000 miles. That was before Porsche factory driver Patrick Long and his dream team got their hands on it. Long, Emotion Engineering's Joey Seele, Emory Motorsports' Rod Emory, Benton Performance's John Benton, Deus Ex Machina's Carby Tuckwell, and filmmaker/Pikes Peak champion Jeff Zwart all came together to build a beautiful, subtle, long-travel 911 with vintage style and all the right modern equipment.
It's not just a plaything for Long and company, though. On April 10, the crew will put this fantastic 911 up for auction to benefit the Autumn Leaves Project, a charity supporting pancreatic cancer research. The auction will take place as part of Luftgekühlt, an L.A.-based annual celebration of air-cooled Porsches hosted by two-time Le Mans winner Long and creative director Howie Idelson.

All the hard work will raise a lot of good money for the charity: Sotheby's Los Angeles puts the estimated value of the car at $100,000–$150,000. Interested parties must pre-register with Sotheby's (do so here) before bidding opens on April 10. For those of us without the means, at least we can enjoy watching the rally 911 in action:

The academic delver into sports history will find better rewards. The research is prodigious. One quakes at the thought of how many yellowing newspapers and forgotten magazines Mr. Melville had to turn over to compile his 57 page list of American cricket clubs. On the other hand, the conclusions drawn from this mass of material are a bit s: 1. Origin. Cricket was probably created during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weald, an area of dense woodlands and clearings in south-east England that lies across Kent and Sussex. The first definite reference is dated Monday, 17 January ("Old Style" Julian date, the year equating to in the modern calendar).There have been several speculations about the game's origins.

A media briefing of the China two-child policy is held at the State Council Information Office on November 10, 2015 in Beijing, China.
A National Protest of Planned Parenthood was held Saturday, April 23. Reggie Littlejohn, President of Women's Rights Without Frontiers, spoke at the protest site in Concord, Calif., She detailed her conviction that, posturing as a champion of "choice" in the US, International Planned Parenthood's true colors show boldly elsewhere on the globe, particularly the People's Republic of China.
In China, abortion has little to do with a woman's choice. The world was shocked in 2012 when WRWF released the photograph of Feng Jianmei lying next to her forcibly aborted baby, showing to millions the true face of the Chinese Communist Party.
Meanwhile, International Planned Parenthood is not merely present in China, but their affiliate organization literally works in tandem with the government's coercive One Child (now Two-Child) Policy.
In its first decade, in collaboration with IPPF, CFPA boasts it established a branch in almost every village in China and mobilized as many as 94 million members and volunteers. In fact, China was the second country after New Zealand to become officially recognized as a qualified member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), after CFPA met IPPF's 65 criteria on sexual and reproductive health issues. All the while, the CFPA was implementing a program that was forcibly aborting and sterilizing women.
Nor is this collaboration on International Planned Parenthood's part an artifact of the past.
Today IPPF is still CFPA's main international supporter, and its executives have gone on record praising the achievements of China's notorious One Child Policy. China's family planning office, in turn, has expressed the importance of international cooperation for maintaining control over population levels.
In a 2011 letter to the editor, former Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Norman Fleishman called China's One Child Policy a "start" to curbing global population.
IPPF's site points to CFPA as its main operations hub in China and has recently publicized its good relationship with the Chinese government. In 2013, following a change in China's leadership, IPPF described its meeting with new Chinese premier Li Kequiang and mutual plans to "strengthen the partnership" between China and IPPF.
If Planned Parenthood stands for 'choice,' then why are they working hand in hand with the Chinese Communist Party's coercive population control machine?

Safaricom CEO, Bob Collymore (center) speaks during the Safaricom half year results announcement. Alongside Bob is Chairman, Nicholas Nganga, and Sateesh Kamath, Safaricom CFO.
Kenya's largest telco Safaricom has reported its half-year results for the period ended September 2018 with net profit rising by 20.2% to Sh 31.5 Billion.
Total service revenue for the period rose by 7.7% to Sh 118 Billion largely driven by Mpesa whose revenues grew by 18.2 % to Sh 35.5 Billion. Voice, which accounts for nearly 40% of the telco's revenues, grew slightly by 1.4% to Sh 48 Billion.
"During the first six months of the year, M-PESA was the main driver of growth, contributing 64% of service revenue growth, further accelerating displacement of traditional voice and messaging services." Safaricom Chief Executive Bob Collymore said.
Mobile data revenue increased by 10.8% to Sh 19.5 Billion while messaging revenue declined by 1.2% to Sh 8.8 Billion. Fixed data revenue increased by 21% to Sh 3.9 Billion.
The telco's customer base increased by 1.5% to 29.94 Million while 30-day active M-PESA customers increasing by 8.8% to 21 Million.
"We continue to leverage the power of mobile technology and diversify our sales mix with M-PESA now accounting for 30% of total service revenue, up 3 points year on year. We are excited about the future prospects of portfolio expansion and diversification." Bob Collymore noted.


With efforts to take down Obamacare and decisions to cancel DACA, it's no secret that 45 is trying to take down anything productive from the Obama administration. But no one has considered how whiteness and the dismantling of Black excellence plays into this.
In a compelling piece for The Atlantic, journalist and cultural critic Ta-Nehisi Coates illustrated precisely how (and why) Donald Trump is creating his legacy by negating everything that Obama stood for.

Airport Security and the Drive to Wadi Rum - No Regrets!
I leave in Jordan, I saw thousands of photos for petra and wadi rum, wow, these are the most attractive ones.
I do realize you posted this a while ago but any chance you remember the company you booked this trip with?
Hey Robert, sorry just seeing this.
This trip wasn't really an organized tour, but more of a family trip. We booked a few smaller excursions with independent operators, but I didn't make the bookings myself, so I don't have the info. Sorry.


I come to this bar not so much for the drinks (though they are great at S$6 / US$3.50 at happy hour) but for its amazing selection of bar food. This place serves the best chicken wings in town. Marinated like the best har cheong kai (prawn paste chicken) in Singapore, it's delicious and crispy to the bite. In our haste to get started on the wings (S$8 / US$4.70 per half basket with six pieces), we only managed to capture an image of what's left after we had our way with it. Compliment this with their equally mouth-watering selection of thin crust pizzas (my favourite is the No.5 Special with pepperoni and jalapenos), mini burgers, crab wontons, and it's as good as some of the best meals in town.

AT&T enables Dynamic Spectrum Sharing in some areas to boost 5G speeds, starting with the Galaxy S20, LG V60, and Note 10+
As the 5G race heats up in the U.S., AT&T just became the first carrier to launch Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) in some markets.
Dynamic Spectrum Sharing is a technology that allows operators to operate both 4G LTE and 5G NR simultaneously on the same network band. That means carriers don't have to rush to erect new 5G NR cell sites or dedicate a chunk of the spectrum for either 4G or 5G. DSS provides a practical and cost-effective way for carriers to bring 5G to the masses without spending millions of dollars in building new infrastructure, which will ease the transition for carriers from non-standalone 5G networks (NSA) to standalone 5G (SA).
Unlike T-Mobile, AT&T doesn't have any surplus mid-band spectrum on which it could expand its 5G network. This is where DSS technology will come handy for AT&T as it will enable the company to serve both 4G LTE and 5G NR users using its existing mid-band airwaves.
In the first phase, AT&T is enabling DSS in parts of North Texas and will be gradually expanding its use to more markets in the coming months. The LG V60 ThinQ 5G, Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, and Samsung Galaxy S20 series are among the initial list of devices that will support DSS. AT&T says it will be adding support for more phones later on.
"DSS allows carriers to share the same channel between both 4G and 5G users simultaneously. It turns up 5G without turning off LTE – creating a seamless experience for users, and a graceful spectrum transition for carriers."
Igal Elbaz, SVP of Wireless Technology, AT&T
Apart from AT&T, Verizon is also planning to make use of DSS to expand its 5G coverage to more markets. The company hasn't yet shared a concrete date about when it will make a move, but it did promise it will happen sometime in the second half of 2020.

Some Remarks about "Safety"
The term safety is often used in a simplistic and misleading manner. Safety depends on many particulars of the individual case. For example, one of the authors of this Web site (Klein) ingests ten milligrams of a blood thinner called warfarin every day. Warfarin is also available in hardware stores as rat poison. When mixed with something tasty, rats gobble it up and die from internal bleeding. Humans with vascular problems reduce risks of thrombosis by ingesting small amounts of rat poison. Large amounts would be deadly. Dosage and condition are just two of the many factors that affect safety.
Is chemotherapy safe? Medicine is often poison. University of Iowa professor of medicine William B. Bean (1970) explained the point as follows:
[T]he power of a drug [usually] carries with it almost in parallel a potential for dangerous reactions. . . . [E]ach person in the world is biochemically, anthropologically, genetically, and in any other way you wish individual and unique. The postulate that there is a dose, a fixed dose, of a drug which is routine for any person with a specific disease—a standard to be applied by pressing a button in a kind of therapeutic automat—is irrational. Absorption varies. Internal bodily metabolisms are different. At one end of the spectrum there are persons who react idiosyncratically or allergically to a drug. In addition there are sensitivities that exist without harming a person at all until he encounters a biochemical agent to which he may have a violent reaction, even though the majority of people exposed to the same thing do not react in that way. After a while he may learn not to revolt against its administration. . . . [I]n the practice of medicine we should remember that [powerful and potent drugs] are two-edged swords that cut back at you if you are not very careful in the way you wield them. With increased potency we have increased danger. (132–33)
In 1994, it is estimated that at least 106,000 people died from adverse reactions to "safe," FDA-approved drugs (Lazarou et al. 1998). (This figure includes only hospitalized patients and does not include those people who died because of medical error such as the prescribing of the wrong drug, which also accounts for some 100,000 deaths every year [Kohn, Corrigan, and Donaldson 1999].) It is inevitable that many people, often in weakened and uncertain condition, will suffer and die from unwanted side effects.
Despite the subtleties involved, the FDA is set up to screen out "unsafe" drugs for all cases of usage, taken in aggregate. But neither the administering of drugs by doctors nor the taking of drugs by patients is done on an aggregate basis. A drug stamped "safe" by the FDA is usually not safe for every particular case or individual, and a drug not so stamped is, nonetheless, safe for many particular cases and individuals. As the Warfarin and chemotherapy examples demonstrate, it might be "unsafe" both to take the drug and not to take the drug. But the relevant benchmark is not a state of perfect health. What really matters is whether taking the drug is safer than not taking the drug. The people intimately concerned in the situation and intimately informed, not bureaucrats in Rockville, Maryland, should make this determination, however.
The safety of a drug depends on myriad particulars about the patient, including age, sex, physical strength, condition, activities, allergies, diet, dosage, medical attention, and drug regimen. Furthermore and importantly, what is "safe" contains an unalterable subjective component (Higgs 1994). Patients faced with the same diseases will make different treatment decisions depending on how they perceive and evaluate the inherently risky trade-offs among health, pain, and disability. The establishment of a single society-wide standard of safety and efficacy does violence to the reality of myriad individuals with different values and experiences. We see the dilemma most clearly when the FDA withdraws an "unsafe" drug from the market, and patients complain. The drug Lotronex, for example, was withdrawn from the market in November 2000 under pressure from the FDA. Lotronex was prescribed for irritable bowel syndrome, a disease that causes abdominal pain and intense bouts of diarrhea. In the ten months that it had been on the market, some three hundred thousand people used the drug without serious problem, but seventy users developed a serious side effect, and three deaths were possibly linked to the drug (Grady 2001). Lotronex is thus not without complications, but it improved the lives of many patients to the extent of allowing them to hold a job and leave their homes without fear of pain or sudden attack of diarrhea. On learning that Lotronex might be withdrawn, many of these patients went to great efforts to stockpile the drug, and when it was indeed withdrawn, they complained vociferously to the FDA. Patient complaints were so extensive that in June of 2002 the FDA allowed the drug back on the market so long as doctors and patients fulfilled a number of conditions ensuring that both were fully informed about the drug's potential complications.
The FDA's typical policy is "one size doesn't fit all," but the final outcome of the Lotronex example is encouraging. The FDA could better serve all patients if instead of acting paternalistically, by making choices on behalf of patients whom it cannot know or understand, it focused on collecting and disseminating information that people could utilize within the context of their own lives.
It's important to recognize that the Lotronex case is unusual because patients knew that the FDA had taken away a drug that was beneficial to them. In the usual case, the FDA fails to approve a drug that could have benefited patients, and the patients never learn of the drug's possible existence. (On the importance of what is seen and unseen in FDA policy, see the glossary item Types of FDA Error and the section FDA Incentives.)


The leaders of North and South Korea embraced on Friday and pledged to work for the "complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula" on a day of smiles and handshakes at the first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade.
North Korea has boosted defenses on its east coast, a South Korean lawmaker said on Tuesday, after the North said U.S. President Donald Trump had declared war and that it would shoot down U.S. bombers flying near the peninsula.
North Korean state media on Tuesday warned of a nuclear attack on the United States at any sign of a U.S. pre-emptive strike as a U.S. Navy strike group led by a nuclear-powered aircraft steamed towards the western Pacific.
Kim Jong -nam, the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, has been killed at an airport in Malaysia by "poison needle-wielding" North Korean agents, according to South Korean media.
The wife of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean dictator, has not been seen in public for more than seven months, prompting speculation of instability in Pyongyang, pregnancy or a falling out with her husband.
North Korea conducted its fifth nuclear test on Friday, the anniversary of the reclusive nation's founding, and said it was now able to produce miniaturized nuclear arms.
The most senior diplomat ever to defect from North Korea has arrived in Seoul after serving in London for the last ten years, the South Korean government confirmed on Wednesday.
North Korea's Supreme Court sentenced a U.S. student to 15 years in prison with hard labor Wednesday for crimes against the reclusive Asian state, according to reports.
North Korea Nuclear Effort Seen as a Top Threat to the U.S.
The national intelligence director, James R. Clapper, warned Tuesday that North Korea had expanded its production of weapons-grade nuclear fuel, making clear that the Obama administration now regarded the reclusive government in Pyongyang, rather than Iran, as the world's most worrisome nuclear threat.

Long Live The Hokage
L.L.H: Chapter 65: I Have a Special Way to Prevent The Battle of The Valley of the End
Masahiko wanted to convince himself to go with the flow, "let it go," he told himself, let everything go according to its natural course. But deep inside his heart, he wants to stop the Valley of the end's battle from happening.
He already gets used to seeing Madara around, they spent many years together. And even though, he was The Uchiha Madara, even though he fought him for three times, Masahiko didn't want to see Madara fall to the dark path, he didn't want it to end that way. As for the witness points, currently, it didn't seem to be that important to him…
Since the graduation incident, Masahiko has been strolling in Konoha from time to time. Many times he met the Uchiha clan, and many times when he was feeling well, he made fun of them. He crossed the road with Haru Uchiha on several occasions, but the former seemed to ignore him.
Masahiko intended to show people that the Uchiha is not as bad as they seem by playing tricks and interacting with them sometimes. But it doesn't seem to be very efficient.
Four years have passed since he came to Konoha, and somehow he heard a rumor that was circulating between the villagers for some time, "Those Uchiha, even elder Masahiko despise them very much."
These rumors make Masahiko feel bad and laugh at the same time. These rumors mean that he's highly regarded between the villagers, and his methods were falsely translated by the villagers.
"It seems as if fearing the Uchiha has been printed deep in their hearts?!"
But failing once doesn't mean the end of the world, Masahiko was gonna try another plan, but he was stopped by Hashirama who came to find him.
"Second Grandpa, I heard recently that you have some issues with the Uchiha…" Hashirama's words got cut short, he didn't know what he should say…
"Uh!" Masahiko interrupted him, then rolled his eyes, saying, "Don't you think Madara has been acting awkward since he came back las time, I was just testing some things to see his reaction."
Hashirama seems like he has realized something, "Hmmm… I also think that he's not like usual… But I don't care, what you're doing is not right."
At that time, Hashirama couldn't think positivity of Masahiko's methods…
Masahiko couldn't change the Village's feelings about the entire Uchiha Clan, but he could try to change their impression on Uchiha Madara, the head clan.
And that's when an idea of a book came to Masahiko, which he spent a month to write it. The book was initially titled "Uchiha Madara, The Autobiography." Masahiko used Madara as the narrator and wrote about his experience, his life, how he cared about Hashirama and regarded him as a brother, so the villagers would know more about Madara, to make them less fearful of him. As a result, Masahiko became more biased while writing it, and the book became more like, "Brother Control, Uchiha Madara, The Autobiography." Masahiko felt like he got influenced while writing it, by some of the other Ecchi animes he watched in his previous life… Fortunately, this is not the age of the literate; the spread wasn't wide enough to cause any troubles…
(T/N: Brother Control is one of the many specialized terms of "Incest." In Japanese, the prefix is "Con" used to refer to something extreme. "Brother Control" is the complex of falling in love with a sibling.)
Even so, after the book was published, Madara seems to be less frequent to show himself in the streets. Some of the Uchiha Clansmen have even looked at him strangely and unfriendly.
Masahiko later discovered his mistake and wanted to correct his mistake; that's when a second idea for a book came to him…
The title of this new book was "The Dream Of One Village." Masahiko started from the very beginning when Madara first met Hashirama. His original intention was to explain that the establishing of Konoha wasn't only Hashirama's idea, but the two shared the same dream and worked hard for it to come true.
But… While Masahiko was writing, it changed again and became more like "The Story of love and killing between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara." Now the villagers looked at Hashirama strangely too.
Masahiko still hasn't given up yet and prepared to write his third book titled "Uchiha, The Family of Love," which tells the truth of the Uchiha Clan in detail, so that the villagers can better understand the Uchiha Clan more.
But he got unexpectedly stopped by Hashirama, who came hurriedly to find him.
"Second Grandpa…" Hashirama held the two books in his hands crying. "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Masahiko smiled in guilty conscience, "Didn't this grandpa's methods made your relationship with Madara closer…?"
Hashirama haplessly said, "Second Grandpa… I don't think you're good at writing books."
Masahiko shook his head tend to struggle, "Wait, I'm halfway for the final chapter of the trilogy. I'm willing to work harder…"
"Big brother! Grandpa! Stop this nonsense, there's something more important that we have to deal with." Tobirama said as he stormed into the room.
"What's the matter?" Hashirama asked.
"The first Tsuchikage of Iwagakure will pass his mantle to the next generation. The new Tsuchikage decided to come to our Village to sign the shinobi alliance treaty. It's estimated that he will reach our Village in three or four days." Tobirama explained.
Hashirama looks happy, "Is it the initiative to sign the treaty? It seems that he shares our peaceful ideals."
"Second Grandpa, forget about your book," Hashirama said. "Prepare to welcome the Second Tsuchikage!"
"Hmmm… It feels like his arrival is a bit too late… Have I changed something about this earlier?" Masahiko thought about it, then nodded to Hashirama in agreement.
Although he said he will not continue writing, after returning to his house, he immediately started writing. The newest book didn't really have much content. It's just a brief introduction to the origins of the Uchiha and the nature of their love. The so-called alienation is because people don't understand the Uchiha, and Masahiko wanted to change people's perspective on the Uchiha.
He thought he could finish it before the arrival of the Second Tsuchikage. However, it didn't appear to be the case, and Masahiko had to go to the Hokage Building to welcome them.
Upon arriving, he saw some familiar face there; one of them was the young Onoki, the guy who will become the Third Tsuchikage.
At the same time, at the Uchiha clan.
Madara was sitting in the living room, holding the two books which were given to him by Haru Uchiha. After looking at the first book, his face turned dark.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Haru then replied, "Patriarch, I just heard about this from the clansmen. These two books were published not long ago. The first one was published a month ago, and the second one was published a week ago."
Madara felt anger in his heart. He remembers how the villagers suddenly started giving him weird looks a month ago. He thought that the villager despised him, now he knew the real reason.
"Who the hell did write these books?"
Haru then answered, "I don't really know… But I believe there are not many people who know about your relationship with Hashirama and your little brother Izuna."
Madara's face changed again, now it's colored with anger and confusion, "What do you mean by my relation with Hashirama?" He then quickly took the second book and opened it.
After a short while, he gritted his teeth, "Old man! There's no one bold enough to write this except you!"
The first book is fine if you try to look at it from another perspective, but the second one is totally unbearable!
"Old man, I will grant you your death wish…"
At this time, Masahiko and Hashirama were taking the Tsuchikage out. The treaty was successfully signed. And the first shinobi alliance was made.
At that time, Masahiko was still unaware that Madara was already stretching his body, ready for payback…

Q: Footer will not stay at the bottom of the page
The footer will not stay at the bottom of the page. I render a partial inside my application.html.erb file. I am wondering if it is because im rendering the footer partial outside the div container i have inside my application erb file.

    <%= render 'shared/navbar'  %>
    <%= render 'shared/message'  %>

    <% if current_user %>
    <input type="hidden" id="user_id" value="<%= current_user.id %>">
    <% end %>

    <%= yield %>

  <%= render 'shared/footer' %>

A: What others have said using fixed positions will work. Another alternative if you don't want to take anything out of the flow is to use flex.  Just wrap everything that isn't footer in a container. Then give the body class something like
body{
 width: 100%;
 min-height: 100vh;
 display: flex;
 flex-direction: column;
}
.container{
flex-grow: 1;
}

footer{
flex-grow: 0;
}

So the body is at least the height of the viewport.  The footer is however tall it needs to be and the container, regardless of how much stuff is in it, will at least fill in the rest of that space forcing the footer down.  Here is a Codepen Example if that helps.

A: you need to define a static height for footer and a fixed position with 0 bottom , something like this :
footer {
   position: fixed;
   height: XXX;
   bottom: 0;
   width: 100%;
}

A: Have you tried adding in CSS?
Try something like this.
.footer-classic {
   position: fixed;
   left:0;
   bottom:0;
   height: defineYourHeight;
   width:100%;
}

Chhanar jilipi or paneer/cottage cheese jalebi. A sweet made of cottage cheese/paneer or chhena. Taste is almost similar to gulab jamun or pantua.
Get the pantua recipe here.
Posting after a long time. Last time participated in 124th Foodiemonday bloghop on 25th December. And now bloghop time again. This week's 133rd #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is Holi on my platter.
Sharing a delicious sweet of Bengal, chhanar jilipi.
I never forget to taste this delicacy in my Kolkata visit. But now I don't have to wait for Kolkata visit. Tried to make it at home. And believe me its very easy.
Now coming to the recipe. You need only few ingredients and homemade fresh paneer or cottage cheese made of full cream milk to make this delicious dish.
Heat milk in a heavy bottom pan. When it starts to rolling boil add 4 tablespoon curd. Stir the milk. It will be curdle. If require add 1 tablespoon curd more.
When the greenish whey or water and paneer separated, strain the paneer or cottage cheese with a maslin cloth.
When the water strain out completely take out the paneer on a plate. I have got 1 cup cottage cheese. You can use store bought crumbled cottage cheese or malai paneer. But better to use home made fresh cottage cheese.
Soak 2 tablespoon suji or semolina and few strands of Saffron in 3 tablespoon warm milk.
For sugar syrup mix sugar, water, 1 teaspoon cardamom powder and few strands of saffron in a pan and boil on low flame for 5 – 8 minutes or until the syrup becomes 1 string consistency.
Knead the paneer and make a lump free dough.
Add milk powder, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder, maida or refined flour and soaked suji or semolina and saffron.
Knead till it becomes a smooth dough.
Make small balls out of the dough. I have made 18 small balls. You can make 15 – 16 bigger size balls.
Take a ball and make a long rope.
Now wind it like a coil.
Make all the balls like this.
Heat sufficient oil or ghee/clarified butter in a pan. Fry the jalebis on medium heat.
And dip them in the sugar syrup immediately.
Soak them in sugar syrup for 2 hours.
After 2 hours boil it again and let it soak for 1 hour more.
Garnish with chopped pistachio. Serve hot or cold. It will be yummy in both ways.
You can store these jalebi in refrigerator. Microwave before serving if you like hot paneer jalebi.
