Thank You -- To Those Who Saved The World
Eldest Son of President Ronald Reagan, New York Times Best-Selling Author
Here in this little French village of Sainte Mere Eglise they remember D-Day.
Sainte Mere Eglise, as students of history and World War II movies know, became the first town to be liberated from Hitler's armies when hundreds of American paratroopers fell from the sky early on the morning of June 6, 1944.
The people of Sainte Mere Eglise have never forgotten the men of the 101st Airborne and 82nd Airborne divisions who were killed or wounded during an operation designed to prevent the Germans from using a road to counterattack the amphibious landings at Utah and Omaha beaches.
They've renamed village streets for Dwight Eisenhower and other American generals and they have hung a white parachute and a dummy of a paratrooper from the spire of the village church to commemorate the story of John Steele.
Steele was the U.S. 82nd Airborne private — played by Red Buttons in "The Longest Day" — whose chute got hung up on the church roof and survived being shot by the German soldiers below only by playing dead for two hours.
My wife Colleen and I are in Normandy with my Reagan Legacy Foundation, which raised money to help send 14 veterans of D-Day back to France to celebrate an important day in history that too few Americans under 60 know anything about.
We'll walk on Omaha and Utah beaches. We'll visit the American cemetery at Colleville. And on Friday morning, the 6th of June, we'll be at Sword Beach for the official international ceremony co-chaired by President Obama and French President Hollande.
For understandable reasons, D-Day is a huge deal here. The people of Sainte Mere Eglise have already been marking the 70th anniversary for a week with parades, dedications, reenactments, speeches, walking tours, music performances and a 250-man parachute drop.
To the 1,500 people of this town and throughout this part of France, June 6 is like a hundred of our Memorial Days rolled into one.
It makes me sad that D-Day means so much to the French but almost nothing to most Americans, particularly those under 60.
I've made a habit for years of asking young people I meet if they know what D-Day is or was. Most have no clue what I'm talking about. And I'm afraid the few who do know something about the brave and tragic things that happened at Normandy only know it because they've seen "Saving Private Ryan."
When I tell young people D-Day was the day their grandfather's generation landed on the beaches of France, kicked the German war machine's butt and began the liberation of Nazi Europe, many of them are amazed.
"Really?" they say. Their teachers have clearly never gotten around to telling them what was so important about D-Day -- or much else about World War II.
Tom Brokaw has said he's shocked by how so many young people are oblivious about our history. They're especially uninformed when it comes to what the "Greatest Generation" did to preserve our freedom and the freedom of millions around the world.
Fewer and fewer members of that great WWII generation are left. The American teenagers who came ashore at Normandy and fought their way to Germany are pushing 90. In 2024 we'll be lucky to have a platoon of them to help us mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a day we need to give more respect to and can never afford to forget.

Ramzes announces the dissolution of Just Error
The star-studded CIS line-up Just Error announced their disbandment only a month after the roster was formed and only one bad tournament run.
Given the high profile players on the Just Error roster, the team was one of the Epic League's highlights, starting with their controversial invite in the qualifiers finals. Unfortunately for the fans, what was anticipated as an epic entrance of a new roster featuring some of the most accomplished CIS players joined by Syed "SumaiL" Hassan, one of the best mind lane players in the world, turned into a rather disastrous debut. Just Error managed to grab just two wins through the entire group stage and playoff run, being relegated to Division2, and eventually eliminated before getting to redeem themselves.
While the Epic League result was far from meeting everyone's expectation, Just Error were rumored to have been offered by an important European organization. The rumors were confirmed today by Roman "Ramzes" Kushnarev who also announced the disbandment of the line-up.
According to Ramzes, the initial plan was not to participate at Epic League, but the players changed their minds and took what he now calls a "wrong decision."
Ramzes cited the patch fatigue, the lack of preparation for the tournament, the language barrier between the four CIS members and SumaiL, the latency issue for their mid lane player as well as the time zone difference Sumail had to adapt to while playing from US on a European schedule, as factors that led to the subpar performance at Epic League.
However, he also mentioned "fundamental issues" with the roster, which are much more important and which led to their decision of not continuing the project.
"I said this before, and I think that the rest of the guys think the same. My main goal is to perform well at The International. We understood that with such a squad we could greatly improve our game at bootcamps, during the season, but the fundamental difficulties were already clear at the end of the Epic League," said Ramzes adding that while the line-up was offered by a large, successful organization that never had a Dota 2 roster before, they decided to turn down the offer and disband the team as they didn't want to let down the organization.
"We did not want to let our new organization down, commit to contracts and unnecessary obligations in a situation where we were not 100% confident in ourselves and our teammates. We can say that the story of Just Error is over for now," Ramzes added.

In their place, the tournament organizers invited Live to Win, another CIS line-up that was just created ahead of Epic League and that is currently running without an organization to support them.

There is still hope for Redwood Trust (RWT) despite it significantly missing analyst estimates in the first quarter.
The real estate investment trust reported net income of $12 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share, less than half of expectations.
CEO, Martin Hughes, and president, Brett Nicholas, in a letter to shareholders remained opportunistic about the future.
"Over time, we expect that the mortgage market and interest rates will stabilize such that our earnings will more consistently reflect our operational progress each quarter and serve as a primary valuation metric for the company. But we are not there yet," the letter stated.
But Hughes and Nicholas were not alone in this assertion.
A FBR report over Redwood Trust said that it continues to believe shares will remain range bound in the near term.
"That said, Redwood continues to be one of the only ways to play a return of private capital in the mortgage market, and we see significant upside to both earnings and dividends in the years to come even is the timeline is extended out," FBR said.
Redwood is unlikely to securitize any meaningful amount of loans and expect any future securitizations to on the smaller side.
However, the report also noted, "We believe it is difficult to believe RWT will be able to generate revenues comparable to last year's levels as ramping conforming and commercial businesses struggle to offset declining securitization volumes."

Copyright COVID-19
When Covid-19 Shuttered Cinema Halls!: Should Producers Share Royalties from OTT Release of Films?
by SpicyIP September 11, 2020
Image from here
We're pleased to bring to you a guest post by Tanvi Sehgal, discussing the impact of the Covid-19 induced shift from theatrical release of films to OTT release on the producers' share of earnings and proposing an amendment to the cinema hall exception to the provision on mandatory royalty sharing under the Copyright Act in light of this shift. Tanvi is a guest faculty at the Faculty of Law, Delhi University, where she recently submitted her PhD thesis titled 'Revisiting Copyright Law in View of Contemporary Developments'.
Tanvi Sehgal
Ever since the lockdown in late March, cinema halls have been eerily empty. With places of public entertainment only gradually reopening, there is little or no hope that cinema halls will see the hustle bustle they were earlier accustomed to, anytime soon. Since no one could have predicted this unusual turn of events, there were (like there would usually be) movies in the pipeline awaiting their release. Realizing that the pandemic is here to stay, producers of such films who had their finances at stake, decided to release them on streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hotstar etc. to name a few.
The Change in the Primary Medium for Release of Cinematograph Films: Outlining the Issue
Amongst the many films that have been released on the web so far, some big releases starring stalwarts like Irfan Khan in 'Angrezi Medium' (which was his last ever!) and Amitabh Bachchan in Gulabo Sitabo, are a few notable ones. If not for this pandemic, these movies would have been block buster releases, creating a stir in cinema halls. But unfortunately, nothing of this sort happened and the producers were compelled to directly release the films (or re-release as in case of Angrezi Medium after its theatrical release was cut short) on streaming services such as Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video. Clearly, the cinema hall owners lost a big share of their yearly profits, but what is unknown is how much the producers lost by not being able to showcase their multi-starrers in a cinema hall.
In contrast with blockbuster theatrical releases, web series or films that are destined to be released on streaming services often have a small star cast with small set ups which makes the same cost efficient. This is quite unlikely for a regular, blockbuster Indian cinematograph film that has elaborate sets and a distinguished star cast to begin with and which under normal practice, is looking forward to a grand theatrical release. Consequently, the cost of producing such films is typically much higher (often, if not always) than the web series made solely for release on online platforms. Profits that producers earn in such cases is often directly related to how well the movies perform in the hall and for how long. In other words, box office earnings account for a significant portion of a producer's earnings from a film. Having done well at the cinema halls, the producers get a second chance to recover their investments when the rights for the same cinematograph film are granted for television/digital premieres. Here again, the popularity of the film at the theatre allows them to bid high stakes for it. So, when producers of such blockbuster films are compelled to directly release such films on streaming services, they stand to lose parts of their profit that they would have otherwise earned by releasing it first in a cinema hall. A glimpse of the losses incurred by them can be viewed here. The streaming services are also aware that the producers presently have no better option than to release their films online, so they might not negotiate much with the latter. Keeping in mind the flagrant spread of the pandemic and the predictions with regard to its subsistence, it seems like the producers will have to bear with these losses for long.
Loss of Profits to Producers and 2012 Amendment to the Copyright Act
While the unrest caused due to do the pandemic is beyond anyone's control, what makes the position of producers detrimental in this context, is a provision in the Copyright Act, 1957 (hereinafter, 'the Act') that was amended 8 years ago to pay royalties to authors of underlying works even after assignment of the same. The 2012 amendment of the Act, in order to safeguard the rights of lyricists and music composers whose works have been included in cinematograph films granted them under Section 18, an unassignable right to royalty to be shared on equal basis with their assignee (who in most cases is the producer of such cinematograph films) whenever their work is utilized. The only exception to such royalty sharing being when the cinematograph film is communicated to public in a cinema hall. This means that when a cinematograph film is being utilized to be shown in a cinema hall the producer of the film (mostly the assignee) need not share royalties with the authors of underlying works whose works have been included in such a film. The communication of a cinematograph film to public in a cinema hall and the earnings made by way of royalties thereof, are thus considered to be sole profit of the producer. Barring this particular instance, once the rights have been assigned by a lyricist or a music composer to the producer of a film, the former retains the right to receive royalties on equal basis, as and when their work is utilized by the assignee. What is noteworthy is the fact that the present situation (of having an embargo on cinema hall releases) makes the only exception to Section 18 also inapplicable, thereby causing a setback to producers!
If Application of the Exception was Less Stringent!
The provision under Section 18 when inserted was primarily included to allow authors of underlying works to have a constant source of income and to enable them to vindicate their rights as and when their work was utilized. With this, the struggle of the authors seems to finally have come to an end, on paper (the practical difficulties notwithstanding) and the provision has been a fair one. From the language of the proviso to section 18, it may be presumed that producers (being assignees of such works) were given an exclusive share to profits from their earnings from the cinema hall – it typically being the first medium of communication of cinematograph films, and any subsequent earnings by way of utilization of the work via other modes/mediums were required to be shared with the authors. In this way, the interests of both producers (as assignees of underlying works) and authors (of such works who are creators of the work and deserve to be rewarded as and when their work was utilized) were balanced.
That said, considering the unprecedented situation that one is facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the fairness of such a provision has become dubious. With no chance of release of cinematograph films in cinema halls and the blockbusters being released directly on online streaming services, the producers are compelled to share royalties with authors of underlying works even when their first medium of communication to public of the film is via the web itself. Consequently, producers are deprived of exclusive earnings at any instance, in spite of them being the assignee of the rights in the works so incorporated, investing huge sums of money in the production of the film, and having already paid a lump-sum consideration to authors for the same. It may be argued that producers are financially in a better situation (than the authors) to bear the losses imposed by the pandemic. Even then, one cannot overlook the fact that what is contested is only exclusive benefits (for the producer as an assignee) for usage via the first medium of communication (which even the legislature in its wisdom provided for in the case of cinema halls) and that for any subsequent utilization the royalty sharing arrangement remains the same as ordained by the law.
Therefore, keeping in view the challenges imposed by the pandemic and also the recent trend of releasing movies online, I submit that instead of specifically applying the exception (of not paying royalties to authors of underlying works) to cinema hall releases only (as the first medium of communication), the exception should be made applicable to the first medium of communication of a cinematograph film be it a cinema hall or the web. Once the medium for first release has been chosen, and exclusive royalties by way of the same has been recouped, the assignees may continue to share royalties with the authors of underlying works for any subsequent utilization of their work. That is to say, if producers directly decide to release their films on the web (not having released it in the hall first) they would not have to share the royalties with authors of underlying works for its usage via this first medium, but a subsequent utilization, by way of, say, a television premiere of the same film would require them to abide by the royalty sharing arrangement under Section 18. Considering the longer duration for which films stay on the web in comparison to cinema halls and to prevent inequities in cases where the first and any subsequent medium of communication remains the same (i.e. for instance, in cases where the film is solely released on the web and there is no separate, identifiable subsequent medium of communication such as a television premiere or otherwise), the balance of interests as intended by the legislature can be maintained by fixing an outer time-limit during which, the royalties would be exclusive for the producer. Beyond this time frame, the royalty sharing may continue as ordained by law.
Such a change to the provision would be a sound one for all times to come, as releasing films on streaming services might become a regular practice (considering their popularity as a mode of communication and the ease to watch an uninterrupted show) even after the pandemic ends.

Aptly highlighted Tanvi. Good points. All.
It seems that covid has been a boon for some and bane for the rest. For the producers of cinematograph films, yes there is this very unsettling 'trouble' of having to share royalties with authors of underlying works, because now the movies are not being screened on cinema halls!
Well, who knew! 🙂 Every dog has its day! Gone are the days of arm twisting tactics and exploitation. The pockets of these producers is usually very deep. A small hole would not empty it. If if a section 18 is actually being honoured, I feel happy for the authors of underlying works. Producers have been having it all …all this while.
Swaraj Paul Barooah September 11, 2020 at 9:06 pm
Very interesting issue Tanvi! Thanks for explaining it so well!
Though, I too must say I feel happy for the authors here.
After all, producers do essentially take on the risk of the movie being a flop, so there is never a guarantee of getting back their 'investment', so to speak. And further more, regarding authors getting their dues over time – I'm not sure if the 'long tail' theory holds up. At least there seems to be some work that indicates it doesn't ( https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/isre.2017.0712 , with a short form interview covering the highlights of the paper here: https://mackinstitute.wharton.upenn.edu/2018/long-tail-theory/ ) Of course, we don't know if this holds true for Bollywood as well, but perhaps this is something interesting to think about. Thanks again for this thought provoking post!

The sanctions will take effect as widespread protests grip Iran with citizens calling for regime change. The protesters are angry about corruption within the regime and the use of the country's wealth to fund malign activities in the region instead of helping the Iranian people.
Senior U.S. administration officials told reporters on Aug. 6 that the United States supports the Iranian people but is not calling for regime change. The officials accuse Iran's rulers of being the biggest funders of terrorism in the world, supporting dictators, and playing a destabilizing role in the Middle East. The sanctions are part of an effort to change the regime's behavior, the officials said.
Trump deferred the reimposition of two sets of sanctions against Iran by 90 and 180 days when he withdrew from the nuclear deal in May. Iran started to suffer from the sanctions even before the measures came into effect. The nation's currency is collapsing, more than 100 international companies announced their intent to leave the country, and unemployment is rising.
"I am pleased that many international firms have already announced their intent to leave the Iranian market, and several countries have indicated that they will reduce or end imports of Iranian crude oil," Trump said in a statement on Aug. 6.
A senior U.S. administration official told reporters that at 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 7 Washington will start enforcing sanctions impacting several trade categories, including the purchase of U.S. dollars, the sale of precious metals, transactions involving Iranian currency, the issuance of Iranian debt, and the Iranian regime's automotive sector.
The details of the sanctions are set out in an executive order Trump signed on Aug. 5 in Bedminster, New Jersey.
The August sanctions will be followed by a second set of measures in November, which will impact Iran's oil and energy sectors, financial institutions, port operations, shipping and shipbuilding, and the insurance industry.
On July 30, Trump offered to meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani without preconditions. Iran responded to the offer by demanding that the United States rejoin the Iran nuclear deal as a condition for meeting.
A senior U.S. administration official said that the sanctions will remain in place until Iran stops enriching uranium and ceases its malign activity in the Middle East.
"We are intent on cutting off the regime's access to resources that they have systematically used to finance terror, fund weapons proliferation, and threaten peace and stability in the region," the official said.
China, Russia, Germany, France, Britain, and the European Union are still party to the Iran nuclear deal.
While on the campaign trail and after taking office, Trump has panned the Iran deal—officially titled the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—as a disaster. The president doubled down on criticism in his statement on sanctions on Aug. 6.
"The JCPOA, a horrible, one-sided deal, failed to achieve the fundamental objective of blocking all paths to an Iranian nuclear bomb, and it threw a lifeline of cash to a murderous dictatorship that has continued to spread bloodshed, violence, and chaos," Trump said.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards confirmed on Aug. 5 it had held war games in the Gulf over the past several days, saying they were aimed at "confronting possible threats" by enemies, state news agency IRNA reported.
U.S. officials said on Aug. 2 that the United States believed Iran had started carrying out naval exercises in the Gulf, apparently moving up the timing of annual drills amid heightened tensions with Washington.
The U.S. military's Central Command confirmed on Aug. 1 it has seen increased Iranian naval activity. The activity extended to the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway for global oil shipments the Revolutionary Guards has threatened to block.
U.S. officials said the drills appeared designed to send a message to Washington.
Iran did not appear interested in drawing attention to the drills. Iranian authorities had not commented on them earlier and several officials had declined to comment.


You are here: Home / Features / Creative Inspiration / Master Captain Matthew Yeterian on The Versatility of Finesse in Sea, Land, & Life!
As a self-made Captain, tell us about your journey of seeking knowledge to become a master of all trades in the Marine & Yacht industry?
As far as my journey of knowledge seeking and mastering of relative trades, I find the answer to that to be fairly simple – I've always believed the key to innovation, knowledge + perspective has been an overwhelming sense of necessity & passion. Necessity stemming from my enjoyment of being on the water and being on boats all my life as many times it was up to me to figure out ways to fix issues when no one else was around to look into it. Marine mechanics were costly and out of reach due to the high demand and low numbers of anyone truly competent. The passion once again came back to not taking no for an answer and wanting to be self reliant regardless of the circumstance. My love to learn about anything foreign, to whatever knowledge I already possessed in a way, facilitated that process.
The status quo for the Marine & Yacht industry is to have someone for a particular fix, however being self-taught, you were able to master multiple trades by being particular & meticulous. Has it been difficult to execute perfection in an imperfect world?
I would honestly say it has been challenging. This industry much like many things in life is forever imperfect. In the yachting world Murphy's law is a day to day occurrence, but I found that if the aim is always a 100% no matter how small the detail or nature of the task there's nothing more that can be done. I take solace in knowing it was carried out perfectly no matter the input.
It is quite unusual & extraordinary for someone to be successfully versatile in your field, how did you discover this field to adapt it into your career?
Ironically this field was always in front of my eyes growing up on the coast and being an active boater and recreational outdoorsman. The discovery really came from the need I felt to help my uncle finish restoration and upkeep on his vessel that reflected not only how much he loved the water, but more importantly the time he was able to spend with his family on it. Naturally His dream became one of my own.
Being as detail-oriented as you are, what was the most challenging aspect in becoming an engineer on multi-platforms?
Easily the most challenging aspect of becoming proficient and competent in various platforms being so detail oriented is exactly that. The detail. Its the finesse, secrets and nuances that tradesman need to learn throughout the span of their career that makes them the professionals they are. The innate need I had to work in different fields forced me to seek those techniques across the board. Being self taught through reading and discussion, I of course made mistakes initially, but I never made those mistakes twice. The more I did, the more I learned.
In your journey of knowledge, what was the most interesting thing you've learned starting from general maintenance up until attaining your official Captain license?
There has been so many eye opening revelations and interesting lessons I had the privilege of learning. I'd have to say the most interesting is marine navigation for a simple reason: The mechanical process and tools that can be used when modern instruments fail is a marvel. Mathematical and scientific genius at its finest, to be able to find you way safely through the most difficult environments and weather, with nothing more than simple tools and senses.
What do the responsibilities of a Homeland Security US Coast Guard entail?
There's a few simple responsibilities of holding a homeland security/US Coast Guard issued license. One being a very honest member of society with nothing that would ever raise the question of morality and patriotism. A clean crime free history, being apart of a drug testing consortium, periodic health physicals from Coast Guard approved doctors, being proficient in life saving first aid, and clearance to be able to have access in government regulated ports are mandated requirements for upholding the license.
What more do you seek to learn in the next 5 years Captain?
What I seek to learn in the next 5 years as a captain is an answer that is very clear to me. What I've learned more than anything is that there is always more to learn, so as far as my own goals it is simply to keep steaming through adapting new techniques, new knowledge about this lifestyle and being a Master Captain. Trying to constantly be better and to learn more is a life goal that has always been a backbone for my intent. I am so privileged to be in an industry that has such vast potential and a bottomless pit for learning and seeing the great elements this world has to offer.

Missouri Supreme Court
John Calvin Manor, Inc. v. Aylward , 517 S.W.2d 59 ( 1974 )
517 S.W.2d 59 (1974)
JOHN CALVIN MANOR, INC., a Missouri Corporation, Respondent,
James P. AYLWARD, Jr., Collector of Revenue, and John P. Sweeney, Assessor, Appellants.
Supreme Court of Missouri, Division One.
*60 Don M. Jackson, Kansas City, for respondent; Jackson & Sherman, Kansas City, of counsel.
Herbert M. Kohn, County Counselor, Donald B. Clark, Asst. County Counselor, Kansas City, for appellants.
BARDGETT, Presiding Judge.
Defendants-appellants are the collector of revenue and the assessor of Jackson County, Missouri. They appeal from a judgment entered in favor of plaintiff-respondent, a property owner, which judgment permanently enjoined defendants from collecting or attempting to collect real estate taxes which were based upon an increase in the assessed valuation of plaintiff's property from $500 to $225,500 and resulted in a tax bill in the sum of $15,536.95 for the year 1970. The appeal involves the construction of sections 137.180 and 139.031, RSMo 1969, V.A.M.S., which are revenue laws of Missouri. This court has jurisdiction. Art. V, sec. 3, Mo. Const.1945, V.A.M.S., as amended.
The only fact question in the circuit court was whether or not plaintiff had received notice pursuant to sec. 137.180 that defendant-assessor had raised the valuation of the property. The trial court found that the assessor did not give plaintiff the notice of increase as required by sec. 137.180 and that plaintiff did not otherwise learn of the increase until plaintiff received its tax statement from the collector in December 1970 which was less than thirty days prior to the date of delinquency (January 1, 1971), as to payment without penalties. That factual finding is not contested here.
Briefly stated the facts are as follows: Plaintiff is the record owner of certain real property in Jackson County, Missouri. Prior to 1969 its assessed valuation was $500. Early in 1969 the assessor raised the assessed valuation to $225,500 and notified plaintiff of the increase and of plaintiff's right to appeal to the county board of equalization. As required by sec. 137.385, RSMo 1969, plaintiff filed his appeal with the board of equalization prior to the third Monday in June 1969. On July 23, 1969, the board of equalization heard the appeal and entered its order nullifying the increase by reducing the valuation to the previous figure of $500 for 1969. Presumably plaintiff's 1969 real estate taxes were computed on an assessed valuation of $500 and were paid.
Sometime after the 1969 tax billings were mailed by the collector in December 1969 and prior to May 31, 1970, the assessor increased the valuation of plaintiff's property on the assessment books from $500 to $225,500 for 1970.[1] The assessor's books were delivered to the collector prior to May 31, 1970. The collector mailed tax statements to the property owners on or about December 8, 1970, and plaintiff received *61 its statement a day or so later. Plaintiff's tax statement for 1970 showed an assessed valuation of its land and improvements of $225,500 and upon that assessment the tax bill amounted to $15,536.95.
The first notice plaintiff had of the increased assessed valuation was when it received the real estate tax statement in December 1970. The increased valuation is not the result of an overall uniform percentage increase in valuation of all real property in Jackson County but rather pertains only to plaintiff's property. This case does not involve any issue with respect to the value of plaintiff's property as such, nor does it involve the question of whether plaintiff's property is entitled to the charitable exemption from real estate taxes under Art. X, sec. 6, Mo.Const.1945, and sec. 137.100, RSMo 1969.[2]
On December 30, 1970, plaintiff instituted an action in prohibition in circuit court and subsequently plaintiff, believing prohibition was not the appropriate remedy, amended its petition to request relief by injunction. The cause was tried to the court and the court entered its order permanently enjoining defendant collector "from collecting or attempting to collect taxes from the plaintiff, John Calvin Manor, Inc., or its successors in title, for the year 1970 in any amount in excess of the taxes which would be due and payable on said property for the year 1970 on the basis of an assessed valuation of $500.00." The court ordered that defendant-assessor "shall forthwith reduce the assessed valuation of plaintiff's said real property as shown on the books and records of Jackson County for the year 1970 from $225,500.00 to $500.00." The foregoing injunctive order followed the determination by the trial court that the increased assessment and the tax based thereon was void because of the failure of the assessor to give plaintiff the notice of increased assessment required by sec. 137.180.
On this appeal defendants attempt to avoid the question of whether the increased assessment and the increased tax bill based thereon are valid and undertake to limit the scope of the inquiry to whether or not the remedies at law are adequate under the facts of this case. The remedies at law which defendants contend are adequate and arguably preclude equitable injunctive relief are (1) a suit by the taxpayer under sec. 139.031 which permits the taxpayer to pay the tax under protest and institute suit within ninety days for a refund, and (2) await suit for collection and defend that suit on whatever grounds the taxpayer has for claiming the increased assessment and consequent tax bill to be illegal.
By so defining the scope of this appeal, the defendants thereby avoid the substantive issue which is whether the failure to give the required notice under sec. 137.180 rendered the increased assessment void. That issue cannot be so easily avoided because the consequence of failing to give the required notice places the taxpayer in a markedly different position than if proper notice is given and bears directly on the adequacy of the remedies argued for by defendants.
The facts relating to the 1969 increased assessment with notice to the property owner and its appeal to the board of equalization have been set forth supra in order to show what can happen, and in this taxpayer's case what did happen, when the assessing and taxing authorities adhere to the orderly procedures mandated by the legislature. The facts of the 1970 increased *62 assessment show what happens when the statutory procedures are not followed by the responsible authorities. It is apparent that the failure to give the notice required by sec. 137.180 completely frustrates the statutory scheme at the very outset. Without this notice to the taxpayer, the taxpayer remains ignorant of the increased valuation put upon the taxable property and consequently does not have the opportunity to appeal to the board of equalization during the limited period allowed for such appeals.
In the instant case the increased valuation, of which plaintiff was ignorant, was 450 times the previous assessed valuation and amounted to approximately a 45000% increase. The record does not reflect the amount of plaintiff's tax for 1969 nor whether the rate in 1970 was the same as 1969; but plaintiff's tax bill for 1970 was $15,536.95 and it is obvious that this was many times again the tax bill for 1969 on the same property, and that this increase in taxes was due to the increased assessed valuation.
Defendants argue that sec. 139.031, RSMo 1969, provides an adequate remedy at law. That statute permits a taxpayer to protest all or part of any taxes assessed against him, except taxes collected by the director of revenue of Missouri, by paying the tax and filing suit for refund in circuit court.
Sec. 139.031 provides the taxpayer with a procedure whereby he can obtain an adjudication of the legality of a tax imposed upon him. As applied to the instant case, a suit under sec. 139.031 would have placed the same issues before the court as were decided in this case, and insofar as providing a proceeding for the adjudication of these issues is concerned, such a proceeding would be wholly adequate.
Defendants acknowledge that prior to the enactment of sec. 139.031 a suit in equity for injunctive relief was allowed in cases similar to the instant one. Wymore v. Markway, 338 Mo. 46, 89 S.W.2d 9 (1935); Allen v. Roam, 308 S.W.2d 787 (Mo.App.1958); Boonville Nat. Bank v. Schlotzhauer, 317 Mo. 1298, 298 S.W. 732 (banc 1927); Bowman v. City of East Prairie, Mo.App., 240 S.W.2d 203 (1951). In Bowman the court held that a suit for injunctive relief was proper to restrain the collection of unauthorized taxes under the provisions of sec. 526.030, RSMo 1969, which authorizes such a proceeding in cases where a cloud would be put upon the title to real estate, the court holding that assessed taxes created a lien upon the real estate and constituted a cloud upon the title. The same is true of the real estate taxes assessed in the instant case. Chapter 141, RSMo 1969.
The question then becomes whether the enactment of sec. 139.031 was intended to abrogate the remedy for injunctive relief and to constitute a complete substitute therefor. Although this is not a suit for a refund but rather one to enjoin collection, we believe the issues presented by defendants should be met and decided.
Prior to the enactment of sec. 139.031, one of the issues in cases where a plaintiff paid the taxes and thereafter instituted suit contending the tax was illegal and sought a refund was whether the taxes were paid voluntarily or under duress. State v. Howard, 357 Mo. 302, 208 S.W.2d 247 (banc 1947); McGraw-Edison Company v. Curry, 485 S.W.2d 175 (Mo.App.1972). The enactment of sec. 139.031 removed this question from such cases by affording the taxpayer the right to voluntarily pay the tax and thereafter obtain a refund on a finding that the tax was unlawful without proving payment under duress.
Also prior to the enactment of sec. 139.031, a collector of taxes was not required to accept payment of a portion of the taxes due and courts were without authority to relieve the taxpayer of interest and penalties occurring during the litigation over the validity of the tax by allowing the disputed *63 tax to be paid into the registry of the court. American Airlines, Inc., v. City of St. Louis, 368 S.W.2d 161 (Mo.1963); Stein v. State Tax Commission, 379 S.W.2d 495 (Mo.1964).
At the time American Airlines, supra, and Stein, supra, were decided, as stated, there was no statute that authorized a taxpayer to pay the taxes under protest. Sec. 139.031 allows a taxpayer to pay the tax under protest, and orders the collector to accept taxes so paid. The payment under protest, being under statutory authority, constitutes payment and prevents the accrual of interest and penalties during the pendency of the litigation over the validity of the tax. Thus it is seen that sec. 139.031 affords the landowner a method whereby he can litigate the legality of the tax and avoid interest and penalties should the decision go against him.
It does not appear, however, that the legislature intended to abrogate those remedies existing prior to the enactment of sec. 139.031 nor to make the procedure set forth in sec. 139.031 the exclusive remedy available to a taxpayer. Had the legislature intended to make the procedure set forth in sec. 139.031 the exclusive remedy, we would be confronted with a serious due process claim in cases such as the instant one, where the taxpayer, having been deprived of the statutory notice of the increased assessed valuation and thereby totally deprived of a hearing before the board of equalization and all of his administrative remedies, would have to pay a very substantial sum in order to even question the legality of the assessment.
At 72 Am.Jur.2d, State and Local Taxation sec. 782, p. 100, it is stated, "A property owner must at some time have an opportunity, as a matter of right and not of grace, to appear and be heard on the question of valuation before some tribunal which has jurisdiction to determine the true value of the property." Security Trust Co. v. Lexington, 203 U.S. 323, 27 S. Ct. 87, 51 L. Ed. 204 (1906).
To sustain defendants' position it would be necessary that the circuit court have jurisdiction to provide substantially the same relief that a property owner could obtain from a county board of equalization and the state tax commission. The boards of equalization have the power, inter alia, to reduce the assessed valuation of property when, in their opinion, the valuation returned is higher than the average for the county, secs. 138.050, 138.100, RSMo 1969, and on appeal to the state tax commission, that commission has the authority to "correct any assessment which is shown to be unlawful, unfair, improper, arbitrary or capricious." Sec. 138.430, RSMo 1969.
"Assessments and the valuations of real estate for taxation are never subject to exact ascertainment, and they are, at best, matters of opinion and estimate on the part of the taxing officials." May Department Stores Co. v. State Tax Commission, 308 S.W.2d 748, 759 (Mo.1958). While the decisions of the tax commission are subject to judicial review under the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo 1969, the circuit court does not have the authority to substitute its opinion as to value for the opinion of the administrative agency upon record evidence under which different conclusions might be drawn in the exercise of administrative discretion. Drey v. State Tax Commission, 345 S.W.2d 228, 236 (Mo.1961); Koplar v. State Tax Commission, 321 S.W.2d 686, 697 (Mo.1959); State ex rel. Kahler v. State Tax Commission, 393 S.W.2d 460, 466 (Mo.1965).
In short, the circuit court does not have the power to afford the same or similar relief to a landowner that the board of equalization and the state tax commission have. Sec. 139.031 does not invest the court with discretionary authority to fix the value or assess the property at any specific amount. The foregoing is set forth in order to demonstrate that sec. 139.031 is *64 not a substitute for the long-standing provisions in law relating to the assessment of property for tax purposes.
The court holds that sec. 139.031 is not the exclusive remedy available to a taxpayer who desires to contest the legality of an increased assessed valuation placed upon his property where he has been totally deprived of his administrative remedies by the assessor's failure to give him the notice required by sec. 137.180. The traditional action in equity to enjoin collection of the tax has not been abrogated by sec. 139.031. This case clearly demonstrates the need for the retention of equitable jurisdiction and the availability of injunctive relief, for here the entire statutory scheme for the assessment of property for tax purposes was vitiated at the outset by the assessing authorities and resulted in an enormously increased tax statement being rendered to plaintiff.
Defendants also contend that the plaintiff has an adequate remedy by awaiting suit to enforce the tax and making whatever defenses he has at that time. The divisional opinion in Michael v. City of St. Louis, 112 Mo. 610, 18 S.W. 967 (1891), cited by the defendants, appears to support this position. However, that case was reargued in the court en banc and is reported at 112 Mo. 610, 20 S.W. 666. The court en banc affirmed the circuit court's dismissal of plaintiffs' petition, as did the divisional opinion. However, in a concurring opinion, four of the judges upheld the taxpayers' right to maintain a suit in equity to enjoin the collection of the assessment therein involved, but affirmed the dismissal of the petition on the ground that it did not allege facts so that it could be seen from the pleadings that the question of law to be decided was the same as to all of the plaintiffs. The statement appearing in the divisional opinion to the effect that a taxpayer must await suit for enforcement of the assessment was not adopted by the court en banc. The point is overruled.
In McGraw-Edison Company v. Curry, supra, the Jackson County Board of Equalization raised the valuation of plaintiff's inventory but gave no notice of the increase to plaintiff. Plaintiff's first knowledge of the increase came by way of a tax statement received in December 1967 when the revaluation was a fait accompli and the effective time to seek administrative review had long since passed. The court there said, loc. cit. 485 S.W.2d 180:
". . . [T]he rule as stated in Gas Service Co. v. Morris, Mo.Sup., 353 S.W.2d 645 supra, that procedural requirements as enunciated by the Legislature before administrative agencies must be strictly complied with, should apply with equal force to legislative requirements imposed upon county boards of equalization. Such boards are statutory tribunals and derive their jurisdiction, powers and duties from the statutes. State ex rel. Lane v. Corneli, supra [351 Mo. 1, 171 S.W.2d 687 (1943)]. The Legislature in Section 138.120(2) V. A.M.S. placed the mandatory (shall) duty upon the Board of Equalization to give the plaintiff the notice and that such notice was to contain certain specific facts and information. The Supreme Court in State ex rel. Wilson Chevrolet, Inc. v. Wilson, supra [332 S.W.2d 867 (Mo.1960)], and State ex rel. Lane v. Corneli, supra, declared such notice to be jurisdictional. It is neither logical nor morally justifiable that such a state agency be permitted to disregard such definite legislative directions and still retain any defense to an action to correct its void revaluation order, either upon the theory of governmental immunity or failure of plaintiff to exhaust administrative remedies.
"Indeed it can be stated that the void order of the Board was `not subject to administrative review' as contemplated by Section 536.150 V.A.M.S. and Rule 100.08, Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff was given no notice and therefore afforded no opportunity to either contest the void revaluation order before the Board or ask for administrative review before the State Tax Commission."
*65 The McGraw-Edison Company decision is applicable to this case. Where, as here, the failure to give notice of the increased assessment prevents the taxpayer from pursuing his administrative remedies, the increased assessment made by the assessor is void and, consequently, so is the tax computed thereon, and the circuit court was correct in so holding.
Defendants contend that the circuit court erred (1) in requiring the assessor to reduce the assessment on plaintiff's property from $225,500 to $500 because the assessor is without statutory authority to alter assessed valuations following the fifteenth day of May of each year, and (2) in enjoining the collector from proceeding to enforce collection of the tax on the increased assessment because the collector is personally charged with collecting all taxes certified to him by the county clerk, and (3) ordering the reduction from $225,500 assessed valuation to $500 on the grounds that the circuit court has no authority to substitute its judgment for that of the taxing authorities.
The circuit court did not substitute its judgment as to the valuation of the property for that of the assessing and taxing authorities. Upon finding the increased assessment to be void, the circuit court properly ordered the increase stricken from the records and let the prior assessment stand. The orders of the circuit court were necessary to afford complete relief once it was determined that the increased assessment was invalid. The contentions are overruled.
The record does not reflect whether or not plaintiff has tendered or paid taxes on an assessed valuation of $500 for the year 1970. If this obligation has not been satisfied, then plaintiff remains liable therefor together with interest and penalties thereon. Stein v. State Tax Commission, supra; American Airlines, Inc., v. City of St. Louis, supra.
The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
All of the Judges concur.
[1] This increase was apparently entered by the assessor on the basis that the board of equalization had reduced the valuation from $225,500 to $500 in 1969 for that year (1969) only, and according to the custom in Jackson County the higher figure would be reinstated for the subsequent year (1970). There is no evidence nor any suggestion that the failure to notify plaintiff of the 1970 increase was for the purpose of deception or any other improper motive of defendants or the board of equalization or any other official.
[2] Although it appears from the record and the briefs that the order of the board of equalization in 1969 reducing the assessed valuation from $225,500 to $500 may have resulted from a decision by that board to continue with plaintiff's charitable exemption rather than a decision with respect to the value of plaintiff's property as such, the question of plaintiff's entitlement to such an exemption is not an issue as to the assessment for taxes for 1970. That issue is presently before this court in the case of John Calvin Manor, Inc., v. State Tax Commission, No. 58414, and involves the year 1971.

The insightful Monday Note (released on Sundays) from France usually brings some creative thought to the transformation of journalism in the challenging digital landscape. Today's post is particularly tart in assessing the traits of aggregators to curate in some cases and swipe in others.
But he's far less flattering about places like Huffington Post and its trait of taking involved and expensive journalism and flattening it into a digestible, self-contained post that sufficiently satisfies the reader and economically deprives the original source of its audience and revenue. Yes, he says, those bloggers link out to the original but write so extensively that it's not needed.
Filloux believes it's going to be necessary for publishers to thank the good aggregators and find technological ways to protect themselves from the "looters."

Sir John Baptist Medina or John Baptiste de Medina (1659 – 5 October 1710) was an artist of Flemish-Spanish origin who worked in England and Scotland, mostly as a portrait painter, though he was also the first illustrator of Paradise Lost by John Milton in 1688.

Life and portrait-painting
Medina was the son of a Spanish army captain posted to Brussels, where he was born and later trained by François Duchatel, before coming to London in 1686 and setting up his studio in Drury Lane. Even in London he seems to have specialized in Scottish sitters, and in either 1688–89 or 1694 he moved to Edinburgh at the invitation of David Leslie, 3rd Earl of Leven. He remained there for the rest of his life. He was encouraged and sponsored by the Earl of Melville, who he painted in London. From 1689 Melville, like many of Medina's subjects a strong Whig, was Secretary of State for Scotland, effectively running the country for the King in London. With little competition, Medina was the most prominent Scottish portraitist for the rest of his life, charging £5 for a head and £10 for a half-length.

His best known works are a group of about 30 oval bust-lengths, including a self-portrait, in Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh; these are invariably compared to the Kit Cat Club series in London by Sir Godfrey Kneller. His style follows the conventions of Kneller, but his portraits are often more relaxed and informal, favouring relatively bright blues and rose-reds in the clothing, and dark backgrounds. The quality of the painting can vary considerably, probably reflecting the use of his assistants. In 1706 he was knighted, one of the last batch of Scottish knights to be created before the Acts of Union 1707.

Medina died in Edinburgh on 5 October 1710. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the centre of the city. The grave is a solid enclosed vault on the east side, now appearing half-sunken, adjacent to the steps leading to the northern section. The engraver, William Howison, is buried in front of the vault.

He trained both his own son and the talented William Aikman, the leading Scottish portrait-painter of the next generation.

The Scottish National Portrait Gallery has a representative ten works, including another self-portrait, and a group of subject pictures bought from his studio by Sir John Clerk is held at Penicuik. Most of his paintings remain in Scotland – there are none, for example, in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Illustrations to Paradise Lost
Although he appears to have painted other types of work than portraits, the only works other than portraits known to survive are his eight (out of a total of twelve plates prefacing each book of the poem) engraved book illustrations for the fourth edition, the first to be illustrated, of Paradise Lost by John Milton, published in London by Jacob Tonson in 1688. Though they have been described, perhaps rather unfairly, as "stiff and archaic", these follow Milton's text carefully, unlike those of the artists used for the other prints, and usually include several different episodes in each illustration.  Appropriately, Medina drew on traditional Biblical iconography, carefully and imaginatively adapting it to fit Milton's text. Medina's designs preface Books 3 and 5 to 11; the plates were engraved from his designs by a specialist, Michael Burghers (also Burgese or Burgess), a Flemish engraver working in Oxford, who signed all but one plate as the engraver. They were still being used, in rather worn-out condition, for the sixth edition of 1695.

The exact authorship of some plates is a matter of dispute.  Purely based on the interpretation of a hand-written note attributed to Horace Walpole in the New York City Public Library copy of the book, Henry Aldrich, an Oxford don of diverse talents, but not otherwise known as an artist, has been identified as the unknown artist of some plates, usually Books I, II and XII. Bernard Lens II, otherwise known as a painter of enamels, is signed as the artist for Book IV, and Medina is signed as the artist for one more plate than some say would seem likely to be his on stylistic grounds.

Mount Carmel School's (MCS) Athletics Program is one where each student athlete (Knight) achieves not only mental, emotional, social, and physical growth, but spiritual growth within an athletic environment that challenges and works to enhance the Knight's overall academic enrichment.
All students wishing to participate in the athletic program must understand that academics always comes first. Henceforth, participation in MCS athletic's program is a privilege and is limited to those who maintain academic standards set by both MCS and other interscholastic sports governing bodies (COPSA, MISO, CFLA).
MCS believes that athletics is an arena where student athletes can also learn to see through Christ's Eyes.
We hold true to the principle that winning isn't everything and that our work ethic, through our attitudes, and through our display of Catholic/Christian ideals is one way to truly honor God. Given the reality that and competitive aspects that naturally exist in athletics we believe our Knights stand to learn through leadership, to face adversity, to deal with disappointments and loss, to develop individual and team discipline, and to respect authority.
Our Knights have the responsibility of representing not only themselves, but their family, their school, and most importantly their faith.


Will Leandro's competition return result in Gold?
Leandro Lo was last seen on the IBJJF mats at the world championships as he injured his shoulder in the finals of the Super heavyweight division against Mahamed Aly. This resulted in one of the most inspirational moments in IBJJF Worlds history with Buchecha conceding the Absolute gold medal to his good friend Leandro Lo. Since then Leandro has concentrated on his rehab and recently made a return to competition where he competed in a super fight against Nicholas Meregali, losing a close match. Not the return he would have wanted but word is Leandro is motivated as ever, and is ready to defend his Pan crown against one of the toughest line ups at the Pan Ams this year, a division which includes athletes such as Kaynan Duarte, Adam Wardzinski and Patrick Gaudio. If Leandro is going to retain his crown, he's going to have to battle through some of the top up and comers in the heavyweight division.
Can Ffion Davies continue her recent hot streak?
Kingz Kimonos Athlete Ffion Davies is one of the most in form athletes in the world right now. After winning the World Championships in 2018 as a brown belt, she would take gold at her first major competition, the IBJJF World NoGi championships. Her first IBJJF major in the Gi would result in another gold medal, becoming the European champion. Continuing that form, Ffion would win a couple of superfights on promotions such as Grapplefest and Polaris where she easily dispatched multiple time World champion Gezary Matuda to become the Women's u55kg Champion! In the Gi she recently defeated 2018 UAEJJF World Pro Champion Bianca Basilio, expect Ffion to be one of the favourites in her division.
Is a Rookie black belt going to make an immediate impact and even win gold?
There are multiple Rookie black belts who have already made a splash on the black belt scene, including the aforementioned Ffion Davies of ECJJA, who will be looking to add another title to her already impressive resume. Another impressive athlete is Mayssa Bastos of GF Team, who is making her Pan Ams debut at black belt in a 2-athlete division! In the men's divisions there are multiple Rookie black belts to keep your eyes on, at featherweight, 2018 brown belt champion Kennedy Maciel looks to carry on the legacy of his father and start adding black belt titles to his list of accomplishments. Unity Jiu Jitsu has two impressive athletes making their Pans black belt debut, lightweight Levi Jones-Leary will be looking to add to his Black belt collection, after taking Gold at the IBJJF European championships, beating top level competition such as Gianni Grippo and in the final defeating arguably the greatest lightweight of all time in Lucas Lepri in an extraordinary performance. While at medium heavyweight Devhonte Johnson looks to add to his World NoGi bronze medal, Devhonte won the world championships at brown belt in 2018 at Super-heavyweight, he would then move down to heavyweight for the world No-Gi, and now he moves down again to medium heavyweight, a weight class he last competed at in 2016 at the worlds where he took silver at purple belt, Devhonte faces a massive task with ATOS black belts and current world champions Gustavo Batista and Lucas Hulk standing in his way. Finally, our last Rookie black belt in with a chance to take gold is ATOS phenom Kaynan Duarte, despite winning Gold at the IBJJF Europeans and World NoGi at heavyweight along with the UAEJJF London Grand Slam, he faces a tough prospect entering the extremely stacked heavyweight division, as a rookie he comes in with no fear, and upsets can happen.
This year sees the return of one of the most dominant Jiu Jitsu champions to ever grace the mats, Gabi Garcia. After a brief foray into MMA, Gabi returns, unexpectedly to this year's IBJJF Pan American championships. With her experience and titles, despite her years away from pure Grappling she will most likely open up as favourite to win both her weight class and open weight. With the rise of new champions in the female divisions and new opponents Gabi's return is as interesting as ever!
Who will be our adult black belt pan absolute champions?
The absolute divisions always contain exciting match ups, including the odd 'giant killing' as seen at Euros 2019 where Lucas Lepri managed to defeat two ultra-heavyweights along with heavyweight Kaynan Duarte. This year at Pans there are multiple World champions entered in both the Male and female divisions.
In the female absolute division, even with her time out, Gabi Garcia would be seen as the favourite with her multiple weight and absolute Pan Titles, one of her main competitors is Nathiely De Jesus, a medium heavyweight competitor who won her division and took silver in the absolute at the 2018 world championships, comes into this championship in good form after winning double gold at the Europeans earlier this year. Another regular on the absolute podiums is Atos JJ's Luiza Monteiro, who recently got 2nd at the European Absolute division. Middleweight dominant champion Ana Vieira is also an outside shout for the absolute title, after placing third at the Worlds and winning her division. However, they will all most likely have to try and defeat Gabi Garcia if they make it to the finals!
The Male division seems more open with Marcus Buchecha not taking part. Multiple time Pan champion Leandro Lo will be looking to retain his Pan Ams absolute title. His main opponents include the ATOS crew of Lucas Hulk, Gustavo Batista and Kaynan Duarte, whoever enters the absolutes out of that group will provide a stern challenge for Lo, all being young athletes and Black belt major champions. Elsewhere current World Super Heavy champion Mahamed Aly might have something to say, he defeated Leandro Lo at the finals of the Worlds in 2018, albeit with Leandro suffering a freak injury to his shoulder. Another super heavyweight is Kingz athlete and Zenith BJJ representative Felipe Andrew, with his all action game and constant hunt for the submission he is an outsider for the absolute title. Finally, last year's Pan Ams Absolute finalist Gutenberg Pereira will be looking to go one better and take the Gold medal this year.

Why I Bought TWO Kansas City Chiefs For My Loved Ones
With neither one particular of these teams having considerably defense to write dwelling about, I like that streak to continue to five in a row, even if Falcons games have accomplished the exact opposite and gone below in four straight. Roquan Smith deserves a gold star for his functionality Sunday, sacking Kenny Pickett to force an early stop , and his interception of Trubisky ended a promising Steelers drive midway through the second quarter. Those 3 turnovers kept the Steelers offense at bay just enough to permit Baltimore's rushing attack to preserve its lead. When we speak about complementary football, we can point to this game as an instance — even if it wasn't all that fairly. It wasn't tough to come across bright sides for the Texans in the loss for the reason that most of their losses are not this impressive. Nevertheless, a huge 1 has to be the rookie safety Pitre, who now has stacked some impressive games.
That's mainly because the deal was backloaded and too lengthy for a 26-year-old Pro Bowl-caliber left tackle to accept. Cosmetically, Brown would have turn out to be the NFL's highest paid offensive lineman at $23,166,667 per year due to the fact of a very inflated last year of the contract. In spite of obtaining dropped 3 straight games to the Bengals in 12 months' time, the Chiefs remain a viable threat to supplant them as AFC Super Bowl representatives. With the most talented quarterback in the league, Andy Reid's group can under no circumstances be discounted. As a dynamic dual-threat quarterback with A+ arm talent and athleticism, Patrick Mahomes terrorizes opponents when operating on or off script. He forces the defense to defend each blade of grass, provided his ability to make just about every throw in the book from the pocket or on the move.
The True and Tried Way of Kansas City Chiefs In Step-by-step Depth
In these metrics, initially-round rookie Trent McDuffie is as advertised. He's allowed catches on just 50% of his targets, has forced a tight window on 32.4% of his targets and has allowed two touchdowns in coverage. Fresh off his worst game as a pro (with a five.four in coverage EPA against the Houston Texans last Sunday), McDuffie's season-lengthy coverage EPA stands at 1.. If he can locate read this a way to intercept a couple of passes a year, he'd effortlessly be regarded as a prime-10 coverage cornerback. A pair of players, cornerback Trent McDuffie and wide receiver Kadarius Toney, each and every took the field at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for the 1st time as Chiefs on Sunday evening.
For the duration of this roundtable, Vasseur talked with a quantity of high school defensive coordinators. Each and every of them outlined how they try and play with two-deep safeties as a lot as achievable, to force offenses to run the football. Simply because passing is far more efficient, so turn the quarterback into a spectator and dare the offense to run. One of the underlying schematic themes of this season is the tension between defenses maintaining each safeties deep, and offenses trying to attack in those scenarios. The basic proposition is that defenses are playing with these two-deep coverages to limit explosive passing plays in the passing game.
The unit played nicely for the two months leading up to Super Bowl LIV but outside of that, it has always been a lot more promise than production. The Chiefs might quite nicely go on to win the Super Bowl with this current group but regardless of the finish outcome, it is time for them to make a drastic adjust on that side of the ball. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The play that ultimately sealed Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs' victory was classic Isiah Pacheco.

His average depth of target in that region has dropped all the way down to five.73 soon after it was 7.49 in 2021 and 8.01 in 2020. Much more generally than not, they've opened up a lead, which perhaps explains each some complacency and a basic case of the defense needing to buckle down and get a stop with sharpened focus. Of the Chiefs' 27 turnovers, 14 of them came through that aforementioned middle-of-the-game stretch. It includedill-advised throws, untimely drops, and … far more untimely drops. The Chargers return dwelling for a primetime clash with the Denver Broncos on Monday Evening Football.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes prior to the snap during practice on Thursday, December 29, 2022. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele prior to the snap for the duration of practice on Thursday, December 29, 2022. Kansas City Chiefs operating back Melvin Gordon runs with the ball through practice on Thursday, December 29, 2022. Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Juan Thornhill practices tackling for the duration of practice on Thursday, December 29, 2022. In total, Toney completed the 2020 season with 1,145 scrimmage yards and 11 total touchdowns.
A December hamstring injury will not erase Long's breakout season as a single of the most dynamic off-ball linebackers in football. Every single team requirements a dude who can remain on the field for all three downs. Jacobs' breakout season in 2022 comes with a minor red flag since of his heavy usage (he's logged a profession-high 353 touches by means of Week 16). But Jacobs has been durable as a pro, is exceptional in the passing game and practically usually makes the very first defender miss. Bates, playing on the franchise tag, is most likely out of Cincinnati right after the Bengals drafted his replacement in Round 1 final year.
He has considering that been really open about his journey and taking care of himself. If the Chiefs want to beat Joe Burrow, they will need to get more quickly and a lot more flexible off the edge. The Chiefs will need defensive ends with the range and speed to not let Burrow sit in the pocket but also have the closing speed to finish plays and bring him down. Burrow is too elusive for the Chiefs' defensive ends to chase him down, so they now have to get unique defensive ends who can do that. The insistence on heavier and longer defensive ends puts you in a true bind from an evaluation standpoint. It would be awesome to get the biggest, fastest and strongest guys who have all the tools, but however, these guys never come to be out there with where the Chiefs pick in the draft each year.
"I speak to Orlando all the time," Mahomes stated. "Me and him have a good relationship. Clearly we wanted to get the deal accomplished, I'm certain he wanted to get the deal carried out. His father, Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, helped get Arrowhead Stadium constructed understanding, and Clark practically grew up there. He even applied to kick field objectives on the field with Hall of Famer Jan Stenerud. The proposed new ballpark district would be the biggest public/private improvement project in Kansas City history and price around $2 billion.

Thank you. Do you know if the current version supports analyzing an SGF with handicap stones ?
Apparently zbaduk doesn't support analysis of handicap games. I uploaded an H3 game I played on KGS, and zbaduk doesn't see the three handicap stones.
when playing against a bot, I couldn't find "resign" or "pass" buttons.
Could you add an option for different coordinate systems, such as the one used here (and CGoban, SmartGo, Panda, etc. ) ?
Example: Lower Left corner: A1, Top Right corner: T19.
The current ZBaduk uses A1 as the Top Left corner, it seems.
You're absolutely right about the missing pass, resign and coordinates. I will prioritize those features.
Handicap is a bit more difficult. There isn't a straightforward way to do those because LZ can only play with 7.5 komi - a known limitation. There is a dynamic komi version of LZ though, which could solve the problem. While it's certainly something to look into, it's something we can't prioritize right now.
PS: thank you for your support and kind words everybody. After 4 months of development it's great to hear people actually like it.
