In Effects of Interactivity: A Meta Analysis by Yang and Shen, the effects of web interactivity were analyzed across 63 studies which satisfied some of their research expectations and provided meaningful results about objective and perceived interactivity. They define interactivity as technological attributes of mediated environments that enable reciprocal communication or information exchange, which afford interaction between communication technology and users, or between users through technology (Yang and Shen 2).
Yang and Shen argue that web interactivity is significantly correlated with user enjoyment, positive attitudes, and desirable behavioral intentions, but it does not necessarily increase cognitive elaboration, knowledge acquisition, and information recall. There are four main variables used to study the effects of web interactivity: cognition, the mental activities of information processing, knowledge acquisition, or message recall; enjoyment, the pleasure and satisfaction users obtain from website use; attitude, which is individual affective orientations toward a certain object in the form of favor or disfavor; and behavioral intention, the intention to purchase or revisit the website (Yang and Shen 3-6). They seem to have found a variety of research that provided a positive, nonsignificant, or negative effect on these four variables, especially cognition. As noted in the study, some research suggested that web interactivity increase cognition, by helping users better process information, obtain knowledge, and enhance message recall, others found no effects or the exact opposite effects of web interactivity. An interesting study they cited was Warnick et al. (2005), which found that people recalled less information when presented with interactive ads than with text-based static ads, thus suggesting that while some interactive features may be beneficial, too much interactivity can be overwhelming and produce a regressive effect (Yang and Shen 3). The measurement methods employed for attitude showed interesting results against cognition. Yang and Shen wrote that by enabling connectedness, two-way communication and agentic content creation, web interactivity has been found to have generated various favorable attitudes even when users felt overwhelmed and disoriented by interactive features. They named this phenomenon the "interactivity paradox", which is the contradictory impact of web interactivity on attitude as opposed to cognition (Yang and Shen 6). In fact, even when users rated an interactive news website as significantly more complex to follow, they still reported favorable attitudes toward it. They also noted potential moderators, such as the operationalization of interactivity, either as a medium or message feature. The medium-centered approach views interactivity as an attribute of the technology that affords user-to-user or user-to-system interactions such as hyperlinks , mouseover , and richness of message presentation (image, video, audio) and has been more persuasive to website users than the message-centered approach which treats interactivity as a process of continuous message exchanges through which users interact with each other or with the system (Yang and Shen 7). Lastly, they noted a major limitation of viewing interactivity, which is the locus of interactivity or users' subjective perceptions of experience with interactive features and objective interactivity. They sought this important distinction for experimentation because the mere appearance of interactive features does not necessarily guarantee that users would perceive the same level of interactivity. Ultimately, across all studies they found web interactivity had a significant positive effect on all the outcome variables. However, they also found that web interactivity did not necessarily benefit user cognition. In the end, they state, "even though interactivity might not necessarily be advantageous to user cognition, it can nevertheless induce positive user attitudes toward associated websites" (Yang and Shen 16).
Overall, Yang and Shen provide a very compelling argument for why web interactivity clearly has important benefits for users by highlighting the variables of enjoyment, attitudes, and behavorial intentions on a user-to-system or user-to-user communication platform. They recommended for websites designed for entertainment and recreational purposes. Even stated that commercial and informational websites would benefit from interactive features as they can enhance enjoyment and positive attitudes (Yang and Shen 18). It is particularly interesting to see how they essentially tied this experiment into marketing strategies for select businesses to adopt in order to enhance their user satisfaction and engagement. Although the levels of interactivity play a role in web interactivity and user responses. It makes sense that they found an initial increase of interactivity might generate positive effects or favorable attitudes, but after an optimal point had been reached additional increases of interactivity would only cause negative effects like cognitive overload. Especially given the "interactivity paradox", which is the different effects of web interactivity on attitudes, enjoyment, and cognition. Furthermore, they state that this suggests that there might be two different psychological routes, cognitive and affective, through which users can be affected by web interactivity. How would businesses calculate this interactivity paradox into their marketing methods to successfully advertise to users? They might focus on how a medium centered approach, specifically the richness of message presentation may encourage favorable attitudes and better persuade website users. The only point of contention with this study is that they did not include more psychological outcomes or variables to bring in a broader spectrum of effects of interactivity. They included the key variables that needed to be evaluated, but perhaps they could have included others such as gender, age and technical competency. This would have generated higher psychological involvement from users by including more variables, thus allowing for more insight.

Q. Which one of the following materials is very hard and very ductile?
Malleability, a similar property, is a material's ability to deform under compressive stress; this is often characterized by the material's ability to form a thin sheet by hammering or rolling.
Nichrome (NiCr, nickel-chrome, chrome-nickel, etc.) is any of various alloys of nickel, chromium, and often iron (and possibly other elements). The most common usage is as resistance wire, although they are also used in some dental restorations (fillings) and in a few other applications.
Nichrome alloys are known for their high mechanical strength and their high creep strength. The properties of nichrome vary depending on its alloy.
Thanks for reading Which one of the following materials is very hard and very ductile?

In recent years, Bedford County has been one of the fastest-growing counties in Virginia and boasts a strong, diversified economy, with a mix of industry, commerce, tourism, and agriculture. A strong and diverse labor market provides excellent resources for companies from manufacturing facilities to high-tech operations. According to Bedford County's Office of Economic Development, manufacturing accounts for nearly 10 percent of Bedford County's employment mix, but these businesses are not the traditional manufacturing with masses of employees working on a single product line handling just one step in a process. Today's manufacturers are technology specialists involving employees in problem-solving and running multi-million dollar automated machinery and robotics lines.
A dynamic mix of agriculture, industry, tourism, and retail gives the region a strong economic base. The industries are varied, ranging from agriculture and forestry to nuclear energy and wireless communication. This diverse mix of industry employs more than 35,000 people and more than 15 companies employ 100 people or more.

"Bedford County and this region have a long history and reputation in knowing how to make things," says Traci Blido, Director of Economic Development. "We have talented machine shops throughout the region and dozens of advanced manufacturing firms that make everything from precision optics and thin film coatings for the military and medical industries to complete packaging machines that assist major production industries."
Bedford County is home to the 25,000 square foot Center for Advanced Engineering and Research, an industry-based research hub. Located in the New London Business and Technology Center, this non-profit organization creates working relationships between high-tech industries, major R&D centers, and university researchers, and facilitates professional development opportunities for scientists and engineers in the region. The R&D activities are targeted to unique, high potential technology industry clusters that will drive economic growth in the region over the next 10 – 20 years.
The area's pro-business climate makes for smooth transitions, and industrial space is plentiful. Four business and industrial parks are available in the region: Montvale Center of Commerce, Bedford Center for Business, New London Business and Technology Center, and Little Otter Business Park. Four highways pass through or are easily accessible from the Bedford area, and the east-west line of Norfolk Southern Railroad connects the agricultural Midwest, the industrial Great Lakes and the Allegheny coalfields with the Atlantic Coast. These make the Bedford area a convenient location to do business.
As a dynamic organization committed to managed growth and development, the Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce facilitates change by partnering with business, education, government, and community. These collaborative efforts and community support play a large role in creating such a positive business climate, which has lured many companies over the years and allowed others to flourish.
"The Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce has evolved and grown into a vital organization over the years," says David Herrick of BB&T Scott & Stringfellow, past Chamber Board Chairman. "It provides a platform for legislative issues involving business and it offers training for small business and potential leaders in our community. The Chamber provides opportunities for networking among all business people and it continues to look for ways to enhance and support the business community."
Business prospects are good. Outstanding schools, advanced health-care resources, a mild climate, diverse recreational opportunities, and attractively priced housing make the Bedford area not only a great place to live but also a great place for business.

Q: Django not finding static js scripts in the correct folder I've already run collectstatic and created the static directory in my urls.py, and all other static files work fine (bootstrap, the custom CSS) and other scripts in the same directory work perfectly fine.

Discount Merchandisers Facing Earnings Squeeze in 2014?
Home » Stock Market » Discount Merchandisers Facing Earnings Squeeze in 2014?
I always want to know what Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) has to say about its business. It's a great benchmark stock and a barometer on spending.
The company's latest quarter produced earnings that came in slightly below consensus. The great thing about this business is the membership fees. They are pure gravy and go a long way in padding the company's bottom line.
In its fiscal first quarter of 2014 (ended November 24, 2013), the company's sales grew five percent to $24.5 billion. Comparable store sales in the U.S. market grew three percent; international sales grew one percent. Excluding gasoline and foreign exchange (which the company always reports), U.S. comparable store sales grew four percent, while international sales grew six percent.
Membership fees actually came in pretty solid, growing to $549 million in the most recent quarter compared to $511 million during the same time last year.
Total quarterly earnings were $425 million, or $0.96 per diluted share. This compares to $416 million, or $0.95 per diluted share. Dividends paid grew to $0.31 a share, up from $0.275 per share, comparatively.
Costco's shares sold off slightly after reporting its numbers. The company is in a solid financial position, but there has been a softening of results from other merchandisers.
The bright spot in Costco's latest quarter was its membership fees. That's the canary in the coal mine for this business. Higher-than-expected operating costs affected the company's bottom line and a low-margin business such as Costco is very vulnerable to selling, general, and administrative costs (SG&A).
Street analysts immediately lowered their earnings expectations on the company for upcoming periods. By no means is Costco's business turning south; comparable store sales were solid last quarter. But the stock is a little vulnerable near-term, as investors may reposition.
Any retailer that can convince consumers to pay an annual membership for the right to shop at its stores has an edge in the low-margin business of merchandising. Membership fees are everything in terms of discerning a big new trend among consumers and Costco's business.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT) has held up well on the stock market, likely due to its more reasonable valuation. Wal-Mart's U.S. comparable store sales declined 0.3% in the 13 weeks ended October 25, 2013. But the company's U.S. operating income experienced a solid quarterly gain of 5.8% in contrast to Costco. Excluding fuel, Wal-Mart's membership-only retail chain, Sam's Club, saw a 9.4% gain in operating income last quarter.
For the 14 weeks ending January 2014, Wal-Mart expects its comparable U.S. store sales to be flat. It's a developing trend that discount merchandisers are all likely to experience, which means investors should watch for a dip in Costco's price for a possible buying opportunity.

The only thing in your kitchen drawers is a stack of Chinese take-out menus, and you haven't carried a packed lunch since grade school. You seriously need to start cooking. It's the easiest way to eat healthier and get in shape. In fact, whatever they are cooking, people who cook regularly consume fewer calories per meal than those who eat out, according to research from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. Plus, unlike your other get-fit efforts, cooking will actually save you money. Here are eight easy, tasty, healthy recipes — courtesy of top chefs, nutritionists, doctors, and trainers — to help get you started.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Chop the onion and herbs, and combine in a large mixing bowl with the chicken. Add yogurt, salt and pepper, and mix all of the ingredients together. Put the chicken on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160ºF to 165ºF. Let sit for 5 minutes, then cut and serve. Makes 2 servings.

Cut each baked apple half into 4 even strips. Place the yogurt in a small bowl along with the protein powder, stevia, and water. Stir well and serve. Makes 8 parfaits.
Recipe courtesy of Brett Hoebel, creator of the 20 Minute Body and celebrity trainer on The Biggest Loser season 11.
Combine all ingredients and serve. Makes 12-16 servings.

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Toss shrimp with salt, lime zest and juice, Sriracha, and mint. Bake until just done and still juicy, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain shrimp and slice thin. Break up glass noodles while still in package, and then cook them in boiling, salted water about four minutes or until done. Rinse with cold water and toss with a small amount of vegetable oil. Then, toss noodles and shrimp in sesame vinaigrette and arrange on lettuce leaves with pickled carrots. Sprinkle with fresh chopped Thai basil. Makes 8 lettuce wraps.
Mix ingredients together until sugar is dissolved.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs and milk. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, peppers, and onions until the sausage is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender. Turn the heat down to medium and add the eggs. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until cooked, continually scraping the eggs from the edge to the center of the pan.
Sprinkle the cheese on top and let set for 20 to 30 seconds while the cheese melts. Spoon some of the sausage and egg filling into tortillas. Wrap up each tortilla burrito-style. Place each burrito seam side down and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and then either wrap in foil or place in a plastic freezer bag. When ready to eat, remove wrap and place in the microwave for 90 seconds. Makes 10 burritos.

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Makes 4 to 5 servings.

Bodeen's Top 5 Moments: WWE RAW 8/30/2021
WWE Raw seems to have had people talking from match quality to possibly controversy. Check out Bodeen's Top 5 and see if he got the moments right!
Bodeen Green
After an amazing two weeks of wrestling that featured CM Punk returning to wrestling for the first time in over 7 years, Brock Lesnar returning, an amazing dream match between Seth Rollins and Edge and WALTER and Ilja Draganov putting on another amazing instant classic for the NXT UK Championship, it was time for Monday Night RAW to bring us back to a disappointing level of wrestling as RAW once again fell to the same problems of poor pacing, repetitive rematches and more.
Luckily there were a few bright points on an otherwise standard disappointing episode of WWE'S flagship show. So as we approach a very average looking Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View I am here yet again (from a schedule that is more unorganized and all over the place than an episode of RAW) to bring you the top 5 moments from Monday Night RAW
5. Things turn ugly between Nia Jax and Charlotte Flair as they turn their match into a shoot fight
In one of the most ugliest moments in recent RAW memory, things would turn ugly between Raw Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax as their match turned into a shoot fight as both women became frustrated with each other. The match between the two women would start normally enough as they went back and forth early in the match, however, things went downhill fast after Jax dropped The Queen in an awkward position this led to an awkward moment between the two women as Charlotte and Nia began trading strikes in the ring with neither women selling for each other in a truly messy exchange of strikes and needs to be seen.
Things would continue to go downhill as Charlotte slowly ran the ropes, as Nia caught her and attempted a Soman Drop however both women couldn't control each other and refused to work together, leading to Charlotte eventually hitting a Russian Leg Sweep on Nia. Late in the match, Charlotte worked on Nia's leg as both women continued to not work well together, eventually, Nia was able to block a Figure Eight attempt and hit Flair with a big one-handed powerbomb in the middle of the ring for the 3 count mercifully ending the match with Nia scoring a non-title clean win over the Raw's Women Champion.
Now, why is this on the top 5 moments list? Well, the match was so bad it was in a weird way, fun to watch. While I do respect the commitment that every wrestler has to their work, sometimes it's just entertaining to watch these fun awkward moments. Seeing Flair and Nia just attack each other and refusing to sell each other's offence was fun to watch and deserves a place on this list.
4. Damian Priest issues an open challenge which brings out Drew Mcintyre, Sheamus and more
After beating Sheamus for the United States Championship at SummerSlam, things would continue to look up for The Archer Of Infamy as he opened Monday Night RAW this week. Priest opened RAW with an open challenge for his United States Championship with Sheamus answering the call. Sheamus interrupted Priest but would soon be interrupted himself as Drew Mcintyre also made his entrance, however, chaos would keep occurring as the All-Mighty WWE Champion, Bobby Lashley made his entrance flanked yet again by MVP. MVP got on the mic and suggested that Lashley should be the one to face Damian Priest for the United States Championship, stating it was good for business for Lashley to become a double champion.
Interruptions would continue to be the name of the game as Riddle and Randy Orton made their entrance with Riddle eventually purposing a title defence against The Hurt Business. This would force officials, Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville out as they made two matches for RAW official, first was a United States Championship Triple Threat match between Drew Mcintyre, Sheamus and Priest and the other one was the main event of the night, with that match being a tag match for the RAW Tag Team Titles with RK-BRO defending the titles against Bobby Lashley and MVP.
While this segment did fall victim to one of RAW's biggest problems, with that being a long, multi-person promo to start a show, it still had some decent moments. It was great to see Damian Priest get the spotlight he deserves especially as he is really unique to watch. RK-BRO and MVP were also great on the mic and it was good to see Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville show up to actually remind fans that they have power and authority. Overall, while far from perfect or even great this was a decent way to open the show.
3. AJ Styles and Xavier Woods square off
AJ Styles and Omos would look strong this week on RAW as they both picked up singles victories, with Omos pinning John Morrison who took on Omos after The Miz couldn't appear on RAW and AJ getting a win over Xavier Woods. Woods would have the early advantage in the match as he managed to catch AJ off guard and was able to block AJ's counters. However, Styles was able to fight back after catching Woods with a strike. From there Styles began targeting the leg of Woods and was able to keep Woods controlled throughout most of the match.
Woods managed to fight back late in the match with a few stiff strikes, rocking AJ and was able to block a Styles Clash but the result would be inevitable as Styles managed to grab the injured leg of Woods and was able to roll into the Calf Crusher, forcing Woods to tap despite his best efforts to escape. After the match Styles' celebration would be cut short by the RAW Tag Team Champions, RK-Bro as AJ seemed annoyed at the interruption.(which is fair considering RAW opened with a heap of interruptions) This caused Styles to join the commentary table as he and Omos watched the main event.
This was a fun little match that was great from start to finish. Styles and Woods have shown that they have a lot of chemistry working together and have put on great matches in the past. It should be noted that Omos also had a good showing against John Morrison. With it being most likely inevitable that the pair will break up sometime in the future, hopefully, Omos can use this time to build on as in-ring work as a singles star.
2. RK-Bro defend their new RAW Tag Team Titles against Bobby Lashley and MVP
After their match was made official by Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce, RK-Bro would defend their Raw Tag Team Titles against Lashley and MVP. All four men put on a solid main event as RK-Bro yet again worked well as a team together. Riddle and Bobby Lashley started things off for their teams, renewing their rivalry from earlier in the year as both men went back and forth as Riddle used his striking power and Lashley used his RAW power. (pun intended)
Late in the match, AJ sent Omos out to attack Orton outside the ring but Riddle was able to stop the attack. Riddle was then able to take out Lashley and hit MVP with the Floating Bro for the win. After the match, Lashley came out of nowhere and hit Riddle with a spear, but The Viper would save his teammate and hit an RKO on Lashley saving Riddle in the process.
This was a fun little main event that made RK-Bro look good and helped set up a future rivalry between The Hurt Business and RK-Bro as it does not look things are settled between the two groups.
1. Sheamus, Drew McIntyre and Damien Priest steal the show
Sheamus, Drew McIntyre and Damien Priest managed to steal the show (which to be fair doesn't really say much) as they put on an amazing match. All three men exchanged brutal strikes in a thrilling match. Eventually, Priest was able to get the win, pinning Drew McIntyre clean.
Priest pinning Drew was great to see and hopefully, WWE has big plans for him in the future especially as it was teased he would feud with Bobby down the line.
It was also great to see Drew take a backstage seat once again, as his new role outside the title picture is helping him regain fans.
These were my top 5 moments from this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, what were your top 5 moments from RAW this week and what do you think of the ugly shoot fight between Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax. Let us know in the comment section down below.

Tommy: Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley Must Happen!
I have gone back in time to reflect over Royal Rumble's over the last decade. From 2012 to 2022 the WWE Universe bared witness to some amazing matches including AJ Styles defending his WWE Championship against Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, The Rock defeating CM Punk and ending his historic championship reign, and even the 'Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar successfully defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against John Cena & Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins in a classic triple-threat match.
Here are the top five championship matches at the Royal Rumble over the last decade.
Brock Lesnar VS. Finn Balor (Universal Championship): Royal Rumble 2019
Brock Lesnar VS. Kane VS. Braun Strowman (Universal Championship): Royal Rumble 2017
Randy Orton VS. John Cena WWE World Heavyweight Championship (Royal Rumble 2014)
Daniel Bryan VS. AJ Styles (WWE Championship): Royal Rumble 2019
Top 5 Royal Rumble Championship Matches
5. Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns (Universal Championship): Royal Rumble 2017
In August of 2016, the WWE Universe was shocked when Triple H turned on his former protege Seth Rollins and essentially handed the Universal Championship to Kevin Owens in a crazy fatal-four-way match. Over the next few months, Owens and Chris Jericho would become best friends and true enemies of Rollins and former Shield-mate Roman Reigns. After Reigns was screwed out of the title at Roadblock they would deliver a Shield bomb through the announce table to Owens.
Reigns and Owens would battle again at the Royal Rumble this time, Jericho would be locked inside of a shark cage to prevent interference. Both superstars delivered an impressive performance and threw out everything to defeat one another. Reigns was minutes away from winning the Universal Championship until Braun Strowman obliterated him, which allowed Owens the conniving champion to keep his title.
4. CM Punk vs. The Rock (WWE Championship): Royal Rumble 2013
The self-proclaimed 'Best in the World' CM Punk was on a complete tear going through the roster successfully holding the title for a historic 434 days. At Raw 1000, The Rock came back and challenged whoever was the champion at the time to a WWE Championship match at Royal Rumble. Later in the night, Punk would turn heel attacking 'The People's Champion' and aligning himself with Paul Heyman shortly afterwards.
The Shield would work as mercenaries for Punk to retain his title since the 2012 Survivor Series where they debuted. Vince McMahon informed Punk that if The Shield got involved in the championship match he would be stripped of the title. After twenty minutes of back and forth action between champion and challenger, the lights went out and The Shield interfered yet again. McMahon came out to strip Punk of his championship but, The Rock had other plans and the match was restarted. The People's Champion would deliver the People's Elbow to end the historic reign of Punk.
3. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins (Universal Championship): Royal Rumble 2022
'The Head of the Table' Roman Reigns had conquered all of his challengers on Friday Night SmackDown, so a handpicked wild card was chosen from Monday Night Raw to challenge for the Universal Championship. Enter Seth 'Freakin' Rollins. The two former Shield-mates had faced each other in the past but, this time felt different. Reigns was the arrogant and cocky heel while Rollins portrayed more of a tweener character. Rollins mocked the champion's historic title reign and infuriated Reigns the go-home episode of SmackDown.
The Universal Championship match was the first match to open the show to a white-hot crowd. Reigns made his long grand entrance waiting for his challenger until a familiar theme erupted throughout the WWE Universe. Rollins not only mocked The Shield's old entrance through the crowd but, was also decked in full Shield attire which pissed off the champion.
I feel like it's impossible for these two superstars to have a bad match. They have incredible chemistry whether as partners or rivals. Reigns locked in his challenger with the Guillotine Choke but Rollins made it to the ropes. The Tribal Chief was relentless and would not break the hold so Rollins won by disqualification.
2. AJ Styles vs. John Cena (WWE Championship): Royal Rumble 2017
Let me start of by saying this was a very difficult choice to make because I went back and forth on making this number one. 'The Phenomenal' AJ Styles shocked the world in 2016 not only for turning heel on John Cena but, beating him at Money in the Bank via shenanigans and SummerSlam completely clean in the middle of the ring. Styles went on to have an incredible run as WWE Champion over on SmackDown Live.
Cena went off and did his own thing after a devastating loss to his rival but, came back returned in time to challenge for the title to not only become a sixteen-time champion but to tie the illustrious record held by Ric Flair. Both superstars used every maneuver in their arsenal to win the match, but it came down to the final sequence to understand where Cena's passion lies. Mr. Never Give Up hit the Attitude Adjustment and deadlifted Styles to deliver another thunderous AA to become the sixteen-time WWE Champion. What a freaking match!
1. Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins vs. John Cena (WWE World Heavyweight Championship): Royal Rumble 2015
Even though the match before was tieing the legendary Ric Flair's championship record, I still can say with full confidence that this triple threat match is one of the best matches in Royal Rumble history. Brock Lesnar had an impressive 2014 starting off with ending The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania, and then obliterating John Cena at SummerSlam to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
At Night of Champions Cena was minutes away from winning the title and defeating 'The Beast Incarnate' until the arrogant Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins caused a disqualification. Leading up to the Royal Rumble, Cena and Rollins would face off in a tables match at the TLC pay-per-view, while Lesnar vanished. A huge triple threat match was set for the 2015 Royal Rumble pitting all three superstars against each other. Rollins who was still holding the briefcase bragged about if he didn't win the title with Plan A, he would just cash-in and become the champion with Plan B.
From the moment the bell rang, the action began between Cena and Lesnar. Rollins played the manipulative cocky heel picking his moments to strike. Rollins and Cena took out The Beast on the outside to make it one-on-one. Lesnar was stretchered out of the match but miraculously came back and displayed his freakish strength taking anyone who moved to Suplex City. Rollins hit the champion twice with his briefcase and set up for the Curb Stomp. Lesnar bounced up and delivered a thunderous F5 to retain in a fantastic match.
I love this match so much because it was the first time that I believed Lesnar can deliver a great match and good story when he wants to. We've experienced this in his matches against AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, and even Finn Balor. The Beast is a very smart performer and knows how to sell for his opponents to make them look like a megastar.
There you have it, those are my top five championship matches at Royal Rumble. Let me know what you think!
The Road to The Royal Rumble is here, which means we will soon have an opponent for The Tribal Chief! Greg DeMarco explores potential candidates…
Greg DeMarco
Daddy's back with something for you that is meant to be fun–and a distraction from the news surrounding Vince McMahon's (likely terrible) return to WWE. Being a fan is meant to be fun, and one of the most fun things we get to do is look ahead to WrestleMania.
The main question, for this article at least, is who will be Roman Reigns' opponent at The Granddaddy Of 'Em All? Now everyone wants it to be The Rock, so we will explore the alternatives to that match.
In order to do that, I am making the following assumptions, even if some might not be true in the end:
Roman Reigns only wrestles one match, the final match on Night 2.
Roman Reigns is defending both the WWE and the Universal Championships in that match.
Roman Reigns–and this is just purely me–is not losing.
I did have a few ideas who simply didn't make the list. Check 'em out:
Drew McIntyre – Simply put: Why? Why would we put Drew McIntyre against Roman Reigns in a football stadium when we just saw him against Reigns in a football futbol stadium last fall?
Kevin Owens – Similarly, why would we do this right after we do it at the Royal Rumble?
Karrion Kross – Ok, now I'm just trolling you. He ain't the guy, brother–not with this gimmick.
Ricochet – Personally, as an underdog babyface against Roman Reigns, I love Ricochet winning the Royal Rumble and challenging The Tribal Chief. But we have a better underdog on the list already.
With that all out of the way, it's time to have some fun. I give you…
My Top 5 WWE WrestleMania 39 Opponents For Roman Reigns Not Named The Rock
5. Sami Zayn
The bloom is off the rose for Sami Zayn, at least in the eyes of The Tribal Chief. The eventual turn is one of the most telegraphed things in recent memory, and in this instance that is perfectly fine. Sami Zayn is insanely over, and him fighting the uphill battle with The Bloodline would get him Daniel-Bryan-Danielson-at-WrestleMania-30 levels of heat along the way.
People love Sami Zayn. His awkward charm and seemingly unlimited charisma won over the audience so well that his storyline with The Bloodline had to get extended multiple times over. However, it's obviously coming to an end.
The obvious match is Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn against The Usos, but you could also slot Kevin against Solo Sikoa if Sami were to indeed get the nod.
4. Bron Breakker
You probably think I'm crazy, and I totally get it. Bron Breakker comes from NXT and goes right to the WrestleMania main event?
If you want to create a new star in Bron Breakker, this is how you do it. (At least, it's one way you can do it.) Look at Roman Reigns himself–part of the story of his WrestleMania 31 challenge of Brock Lesnar was that he was growing into the role. JBL told the story on commentary, and the match was all about Roman ascending to the level of Brock.
Of course it was all the perfect set-up for Seth Rollins to give us the greatest Money In The Bank cash-in in WWE history, but in the process Roman proved that he belongs.
So make this year's Royal Rumble the ultimate opportunity–the most shocking winner since Rey Mysterio, the NXT Champion Bron Breakker.
3. Seth (Freakin') Rollins
Seth Rollins seems to be in a never ending program with Austin Theory, and it's time to move on. Seth is an automatic main eventer in WWE at this point. He's a made man, probably the next biggest star (on the men's side) in WWE after Roman Reigns.
And he also has a very specific distinction that no one else has: a singles victory over Roman Reigns since he made his huge return in 2020. Yes, it was by disqualification, but he has proven his abilities to get inside the head of the Tribal Chief.
And Seth Rollins is going to have a match at WrestleMania, and 50,000+ in Sofi Stadium are going to be singing his song. Might as well be in the match that closes WrestleMania Night 2.
2. Sheamus
This is purely a match on my playlist–but this is MY list. And to me, Sheamus makes perfect sense.
In fact, I thought the feud between The Bloodline and The Brawling Brutes would lead to Sheamus challenging Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. And had Sami Zayn's involvement in The Bloodline not taken off the way it did, we still may have.
Sheamus is more popular now than ever, and at 44 years of age he is doing some of his best work. Sheamus winning his second Royal Rumble and challenging Roman Reigns would be the Lifetime Achievement Award he deserves.
But it's more than that! The match? It would deliver in a big way. History? There's plenty between Sheamus and Roman, going back to when Sheamus cashed in Money In The Bank on Reigns, and when Reigns eventually beat The Celtic Warrior to win one of his world championships. The fans? They would be solidly behind Sheamus, and would go nuts for every near fall. Don't sleep on Sheamus as your WrestleMania 39 main event opponent for Roman Reigns.
1. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Full credit for this idea belongs to PC Tunney and Dave Ungar, as shared in the Chairshot Radio Twitter DM thread. And it's steal-worthy indeed.
Three major legendary names are rumored for WrestleMania 39: The Rock, John Cena, and Steve Austin. All three make sense for a multitude of reasons. But The Rock will be launching a football league (which might be a reason to do this–the publicity), and is still in insane demand in Hollywood. Cena seems to be free at the present time, and we've seen the videos of Austin working out.
Remember, I am assuming Roman Reigns is going to win. If that's the case, then this WrestleMania is but another moment in Reigns' legacy. Why not add Steve Austin to his list of victories?
It would sell. ✅
The fans would buy it. ✅
Austin proved he can go. ✅
This type of match is what WrestleMania is all about. If it's not The Rock, it should be "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And there you have it, my list of–
Wait a minute Greg, what about Cody Rhodes?!?!
Man, I thought I could slip this one past the goalie!
Cody Rhodes is a great question. But you have to look at my assumptions above. I am assuming Roman only wrestles one match, defends both championships, and–most importantly–doesn't lose. Given those assumptions, you want Cody Rhodes as far away from this match as possible.
If we do split the titles, then Cody needs to be the guy to walk away with the WWE Championship. He does that either over Seth Rollins, or in a triple threat on Night 1 against Reigns and Rollins–but Rollins still eats the fall.
But under my conditions, losing at WrestleMania doesn't do anything for Cody.

I'm an angry, anti-war, American author.
People are being held in cages. People whose only 'crimes' are to seek safety. They flee from horrible crimes and terror, only to face horrible terror. And cages. Overcrowded, reeking cages. Guarded by people who have described them as "wild ass shitbags," "beaners" and "subhuman." People who have joked about them dying in cages, or burning them up. People who text about wanting to "take the gloves off" before hitting a migrant with their truck.
This is disgusting, America.
I can't begin to imagine the fear that drives people to take the enormous risk of fleeing to this country. Nor can I ever know the fear of worrying every day that you might be sent back to the very dangerous place you fled from. Or that your spouse might not come home from work. Or that your parents might not be there when you come home from school.
But, I do know that I'm not okay with putting people through this. I'm angry. So I wrote a thing. You can read it here…

The United States Supreme Court has upheld the dual sovereignty doctrine in a seven to two vote in the case Gamble v. United States. This doctrine holds that the States' governments and the Federal government are separate sovereign entities and can therefore prosecute a defendant for the same offense without violating the Fifth Amendment's double jeopardy clause.
See Supreme Court to weigh overturning separate-sovereigns doctrine in Gamble v. United States for more on arguments for and against Gamble v. United States and the dual sovereignty doctrine.
Justice Samuel Alito delivered the Court's opinion. Justice Clarence Thomas filed a concurring opinion and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Neil Gorsuch filed dissenting opinions.
The decision argues that dual sovereignty is not an exception to protection from double jeopardy because the language of the Fifth Amendment "protects individuals from being twice put in jeopardy for the same offence, not for the same conducts or actions." Alito writes, "as originally understood, then, an 'offence' is defined by a law, and each law is defined by a sovereign. So where there are two sovereigns, there are two laws, and two offences."
The Court's opinion goes on to discuss the concern that overturning dual sovereignty would result in the United States no longer having the legal authority to prosecute people who have been prosecuted for the same offence in other sovereign countries.
Citing late-colonial American objection to the so-called Murderers' Act of 1751 Alito argues that, "on Gamble's reading, the same Founders who quite literally revolted against the use of acquittals abroad to bar criminal prosecutions here would soon give us an Amendment allowing foreign acquittals to spare domestic criminals. We doubt it."
"This principle comes into still sharper relief when we consider a prosecution in this country for crimes committed abroad. If, as Gamble suggests, only one sovereign may prosecute for a single act, no American court–state or federal–could prosecute conduct already tried in a foreign court."
SCOTUS opinion in Gamble v. United States
The decision also argues that Gamble's arguments are not compelling enough to overturn 170 years of precedents set by previous Supreme Court decisions. "All told, this evidence does not establish that those who ratified the Fifth Amendment took it to bar successive prosecutions under different sovereigns' laws–much less do so with enough force to break a chain of precedent linking dozens of cases over 170 years."
In his concurring opinion, Justice Thomas admits to initial skepticism of the dual sovereignty doctrine, but was swayed by the historical record. He makes note that "we are not entitled to interpret the Constitution to align it with our personal sensibilities about 'unjust' prosecutions." He adds in parenthesis, "While the growing number of criminal offenses in our statute books may be cause for concern, no one should expect (or want) judges to revise the Constitution to address every social problem they happen to perceive."
The majority of his opinion relates to the Court's reliance on the doctrine of stare decisis, in which the Court typically upholds previous Supreme Court rulings as legal precedent. He writes "in my view, the Court's typical formulation of the stare decisis standard does not comport with our judicial duty under Article III because it elevates demonstrably erroneous decisions–meaning decisions outside the realm of permissible interpretation–over the text of the Constitution and other duly enacted federal law."
In her dissenting opinion, Justice Ginsburg cites previous Supreme Court decisions that upheld dual sovereignty and writes, "I would not cling to those ill-advised decisions."
She argues against the concern over crimes committed and prosecuted abroad. "Gamble was convicted in both Alabama and the United States, jurisdictions that are not foreign to each other." She goes on to explain "in the system established by the Federal Constitution…'ultimate sovereignty' resides in the governed…Insofar as a crime offends the 'peace and dignity' of a sovereign,…that 'sovereign' is the people, the 'original fountain of all legitimate authority…States may be separate, but their populations are part of the people composing the United States."
Justice Ginsburg also addresses the reliance on stare decisis, writing it is not an "inexorable command….Our adherence to precedent is weakest in cases 'concerning procedural rules that implicate fundamental constitutional protections.'"
She goes on to write "the expansion of federal criminal law has exacerbated the problems created by the separate-sovereigns doctrine. Ill effects of the doctrine might once have been tempered by the limited overlap between federal and state criminal law…In the last century, however, federal criminal law has been extended pervasively into areas once left to the States."
"This situation might be less troublesome if successive prosecutions occurred only in 'instances of peculiar enormity, or where the public safety demanded extraordinary rigor'…The run-of-the-mill felon in-possession charges Gamble encountered indicate that, in practice, successive prosecutions are not limited to exceptional circumstances."
Justice Ginsburg, dissenting opinion, Gamble v. United States.
Ginsburg concludes her dissent by pointing out the dual sovereign doctrine has been criticized by "members of the bench, bar, and academy." She writes "different parts of the 'WHOLE' United States should not be positioned to prosecute a defendant a second time for the same offense. I would reverse Gamble's federal conviction."
Justice Gorsuch argues in his dissent, "'separate sovereigns exception' to the bar against double jeopardy finds no meaningful support in the text of the Constitution, it's original public meaning, structure, or history. Instead, the Constitution promises all Americans that they will never suffer double jeopardy. I would enforce that guarantee."
He also disagrees with the idea that an offence against the laws of separate sovereigns is two offenses. He cites Blockburger v. United States to argue "if two laws demand proof of the same facts to secure a conviction, they constitute a single offense under our Constitution and a second trial is forbidden."
"Tellingly, no one before us doubts that if either the federal government or Alabama had prosecuted Mr. Gamble twice on these facts and in this manner, it surely would have violated the Constitution."
Justice Gorsuch, dissenting opinion, Gamble v. United States
He argues that assigning different aspects of power to the federal and state governments is meant to limit governmental power rather than multiply it. The dual sovereign doctrine goes against this premise as it allows the federal and state governments to do together what neither can do alone, that is, prosecute someone for the same offense.
Gorsuch also addresses stare decisis, arguing it should not be used to ignore precedents that can't be supported by the Constitution. He offers examples of historic cases previously used as precedents that have been overturned, including Korematsu v. United States.
He writes, "with the text, principles of federalism, and history now arrayed against it, the government is left to suggest that we should retain the separate sovereigns exception under the doctrine of stare decisis. But if that's the real basis for today's result, let's at least acknowledge this: By all appearances, the Constitution, as originally adopted and understood did not allow successive state and federal prosecutions for the same offense, yet the government wants this Court to tolerate the practice anyway."
Like Ginsburg, Gorsuch also expresses concern over the increasing number of Federal crimes on the books and the resulting effect on the use of the dual sovereign doctrine. "In the era when the separate sovereigns exception first emerged, the federal criminal code was new, thin, modest and restrained. Today, it can make none of those boasts…If long ago the Court could have thought 'the benignant spirit' of prosecutors rather than unwavering enforcement of the Constitution sufficient protection against the threat of double prosecutions, it's unclear how we still might."
He concludes, "the separate sovereigns exception was wrong when it was invented, and it remains wrong today."
Unfortunately, as Justice Ginsburg pointed out, this doctrine isn't relegated to use in unusual and extreme cases. And it isn't difficult to imagine it will become more and more common to see cases prosecuted under this doctrine as the number of crimes prosecutable under Federal law grows. It can happen to people who were acquitted in their original trial. It can happen years after the original trial and time served. It can happen when original charges are dropped.
The end result is more loss of rights, longer prison sentences, a growing prison population, and traumatic disruption, even destruction, of the lives of those charged and their families.
"When governments may unleash all their might in multiple prosecutions against an individual, exhausting themselves only when those who hold the reins of power are content with the result, it is 'the poor and the weak' and the unpopular and controversial, who suffer first–and there is nothing to stop them from being the last."
Justice Gorsuch, dissenting opinion, Gamble v. United States.

The Department of Justice has unsealed an indictment this morning for Daniel Everette Hale, of Nashville, Tennessee. Hale was enlisted in the US Air Force from 2009-2013. He became a Language Analyst, and was assigned to work at the National Security Agency from December 2011 through May 2013.
He served as an Intelligence Analyst in Afghanistan for a Department of Defense Joint Special Operations Task Force from March 2012 through August 2012. Hale held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance. After leaving the Air Force, Hale worked for a defense contractor, Leidos.
Hale is charged with five counts related to obtaining classified information and giving classified information to an unnamed reporter. According to the indictment, this information was then published by the reporter on an Online news outlet, as well as in a book written by the reporter.
The unnamed reporter Hale is alleged to have given information to is likely Jeremy Scahill of The Intercept. Scahill and the Intercept published The Drone Papers in 2015 based on a cache of classified documents obtained by the Intercept. Scahill also wrote the book The Assassination Complex which was published in 2017.
Hale described having his home searched in 2014 by the FBI in the documentary National Bird. He was informed at that time he was under investigation for espionage and he states in National Bird that he would "probably get charged with a crime" and would "have to fight to stay out of prison."
Hale's attorney, Jesselyn Raddack, is quoted in The Washington Post as saying "the allegations against Hale are allegations of whistleblowing. The Intercept's reporting on the US government's secretive drone assassination program shed much needed light on a lethal program in dire need of more oversight."
No details are given in the indictment as to how Hale ended up under investigation for leaking classified material. In video, Hale can be seen sitting with Scahill during a presentation at a book store on June 8, 2013. The indictment states that on or about June 8, 2013, "Hale sat next to the Reporter at a public event at the Bookstore to promote the Reporter's book." According to the indictment, this occurred before Hale leaked any documents to The Intercept.
Hale is not the first person known to face charges after leaking information to The Intercept. Reality Winner was sentenced to five years and three months for leaking a classified report to The Intercept regarding Russian hacking of election systems. Reporters for The Intercept sought confirmation the report was authentic from a defense contractor who informed authorities about it and turned over identifying numbers from the report that revealed Winner as the source of the leak.
Terry Albury, a former FBI agent, was sentenced to four years in prison in 2018 for sharing classified information, likely with The Intercept, according to the Washington Post. He may have been the source of The Intercept's series of reports entitled The FBI's Secret Rules.

I've recently finished a book I've been anxious to read since hearing of it's release. This book is The Watchdogs Didn't Bark, by John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski.
I don't remember where or how I first heard of Duffy and Nowosielski's work. It may have been through the excellent documentary 9/11: Press for Truth. This film tells some of the story behind the push for answers about the September 11, 2001 attacks through the perspectives of family members of victims. It's incredibly powerful.
It may also have been their interview with former counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke, or their podcast, Who Is Rich Blee. Around the same time I discovered those, I was also following the site Boiling Frogs Post* which published several reports and interviews about Duffy and Nowosielski's work. Their story is an important one that should be getting much more attention than it has.
When I found out they were releasing a book detailing their years of investigation that led to the above-mentioned productions, I knew it would be a must read. And it is.
Duffy and Nowosielski describe in detail malfeasance, cover-ups, and outright criminal behavior, primarily within the Central Intelligence Agency, both before and after 9/11. They discuss how the people responsible have been promoted into positions of power, in spite of, or perhaps even because of, their actions, rather than being held accountable. They point out that these people are still influential and in power within the intelligence community today, a fact that should concern us all.
The Watchdogs Didn't Bark calls into question the extent to which the government of the United States has used the September 11, 2001 attacks to justify and legalize activities I think most Americans would consider unconstitutional and appalling. Nearly two decades on, this book should serve as a much-needed wake up call for us all. It should have us asking if we are still willing to allow our government to continue along it's increasingly authoritarian and destructive path.
I highly recommend The Watchdogs Didn't Bark: The CIA, NSA and the Crimes of the War on Terror. It's a courageous example of the incredible importance, the necessity, of good investigative journalism. It should be required reading for all Americans.
*Boiling Frogs Post is now Newsbud, a site I no longer follow or endorse. More on that here.

Thousands of scary people are pouring over our unsecured southern border to kill us all and destroy our democracy. Which clearly isn't being destroyed by corrupt people already here and in power. Or by the outrageously powerful corporations pulling the strings of those in power. Or by the lobbyists buying influence over those in power.
No, it's the scary people pouring over our border. We must fear them and build a wall. They are definitely democracy-destroying, drug-packing, murderous, evil people who will first milk the system dry and then rape and kill all US born citizens. They will definitely not work menial jobs on farms, harvesting the food that feeds America, or other such helpful and important labor. No, they will steal YOUR job! They will steal YOUR tax dollars. And don't get me started on ISIS and Hezbollah sneaking over our massive, dangerously porous southern border. Oh my.
But, it's okay. We've got a national emergency now so we can build a wall that will certainly stop those intent on committing a crime in our country. Everything will be just fine. I mean, we don't need the Constitution anyway, right? We certainly don't need rational thought, compassion, cooperation, decency, or any sort of immigration reform. Nope, we need a wall! And maybe a few camps where we can safely store all those scary people. Put them to work and starve them and stuff.
I mean these are seriously, scary, scary people crossing that border. Not at all like our political leaders. And certainly nothing like our own ancestors.

Federal prosecutors to appeal dismissal of charges in Nevada Bundy case
According to court documents filed yesterday in the US Court of Appeals for the ninth circuit, federal prosecutors have been authorized to appeal the dismissal of charges in the Nevada Bundy case. The charges against Cliven, Ryan and Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne were dismissed with prejudice by Judge Gloria Navarro on January 8, 2018 due to Brady violations by the prosecutors.
The document filed yesterday is a request by the prosecution for a 14-day delay in filing its opening brief for an appeal. The document states "undersigned counsel advises the Court and the defendants that the review process is complete and the Solicitor General has authorized the government's appeal."
Prosecutors filed a motion requesting the Court reconsider its orders to dismiss the charges on February 8, 2018. The district court denied that motion on July 3, 2018 and the US Attorney's office reported that decision to the appellate section of the Department of Justice's criminal division. The US Solicitor General then began the process of deciding whether to appeal the decision, according to court documents.
Cliven Bundy's lawyer, Larry Klayman, has filed motions opposing the extension of time. He writes, "…any continuing appeal would have no factual or legal bases to succeed and thus be wholly frivolous and is intended only to continue to harass, vindictively inflict more severe emotional distress upon and financially ruin…" Cliven Bundy and his co-defendants.
The prosecution states in its request for delay that it will file its opening brief on or before February 6, 2019.

It's that time again, where we reflect on our successes and failures of the past 365 days and look ahead to the next. 2018 has been a wild ride, and I feel pretty certain 2019 will be too.
As most of my readers know, I've been writing a novel for like, FOREVER, and had hoped to have it published by now. That obviously hasn't happened, but I'm 45,000 words into a third draft, and I'm feeling confident it will be ready for publishing early in the new year. I promise to post some excerpts soon. It's been difficult to choose things I can post that don't present too much of a spoiler problem, but I'll find something.
I want to thank all of you readers for sticking with my little blogs. My posting has been pretty sporadic this year, especially on Seeking Redress, but views have remained steady, so thanks to you all for stopping by. I intend to be more active here in 2019 and I hope you'll continue to join me.
Here's to a good New Year, one that brings peace to our world.

I was very excited to take my golf school to this new venue. It looked fab on the website with fantastic sea views and I was not disappointed when I arrived. It was every bit of what I expected. The hotel was lovely and the golf courses extremely good, albeit very tough. The challenge is such that I would not like to bring players who are new to golf to this venue. For more experienced players it is a great place to be.
On the first day we started on the Praia d'el Rey golf course practice ground. I focused the coaching on short game shots and techniques, stressing the importance of having the right set up, ball position and concentrating on using the bounce of the club properly. In my experience so many players have too much forward shaft lean at set up which de-lofts the club face and makes it more difficult to get the desired ball flight. De-lofting a club is likely to result in very low ball flight – useful at times but not in pitching generally. We worked on using the loft on the club and getting the right trajectory to achieve the desired landing point and roll out of the ball. For example a 7 iron should achieve 25% in the air with 75% roll out and a sand iron should achieve the opposite with 75% flight and 25% roll out. These numbers are not absolute and can be different depending on the length and pace of the swing. The softness/hardness of the green will cause the roll out to differ. In order for the group to practice the shots and experience the effect when the ball lands I set up a number of landing points for them to work on and judge how using different clubs produces different results. Deciding what result is wanted can then be practiced using the appropriate club. It ismportant to lock the experience and knowledge away in the memory bank to call upon in a real game situation. We then moved on to the grass range which I always believe is preferable to using mats wherever possible. In really wet conditions practicing using mats is always better than not practicing at all. We went over the basics, aim, posture, balance, swing and most importantly hitting the ball at the low point of the swing to make sure the ball is set in flight. After lunch we set out on the course for 9 holes in the Forest experiencing the back 9 along the sea. OMG what a venue!!
On day 2 the group moved to another course named West Cliff. We started with the long game picking up on the work of the previous day. The day was very windy so it lent itself to working on how to control the trajectory of the flight to reduce the effect the wind might have on the ball. We used what is called the 'flying wedge' drill to control the club face and to maintain strict control over the length of the swing. This technique uses the hip to hip swing, keeping arms as straight as possible with no bend in the wrists or elbows. This also helps to maintain a stable inclination with the lie of the ground. From my observation this was a good session appreciated by all. We moved over to the chipping green to introduce the often forgotten 7 iron pitch which I feel has less dangers than trying hit the ball high with spin to stop it on landing. To succeed with this shot it is essential to pick a landing spot bearing in mind that the lower ball flight will result in a longer run out. (25%/75%) As on the previous day it was windy. The course has some great holes with very long carries for men. It was a really tough test which most enjoyed despite losing a lot of balls.
Day 3 saw a change of weather with the rain pouring down. The only realistic option was to run an indoor putting session. Thankfully this only happens on very few occasions. I have a number of great practice aids to help improve the path of the ball and control of the putter. I set up drills hitting putts with eyes closed to encourage listening to the ball rather than moving head and eyes too early. Fortunately the rain did stop and everyone was able to get out on the course. It was a tad windy so it was important to concentrate on balance and controlling the flight of the ball.
The rest day came around and some of the group went off to the local town, others took a walk down to the beach and generally everyone took the opportunity to rest after 3 days of intensive work. I arranged some tee times for those who wanted to play 9 holes later in the day. As is usual for me I had a run before breakfast, walked down to the beach and then hit shots. The surf was certainly up all the time we were there and the sea was wild.
For day 4 we had tee times from 9.30 so we played and in the afternoon I ran a short game clinic covering all aspects of that part of the game where good scores are either achieved or lost.
Day 5 was the final day so I ran a round up clinic focusing on always playing courses one shot at a time and building a score in that way. The group played the West Cliff course in a breeze and it proved to be a lovely day for golf. Liz was the winner of the stableford competition with 32 points which was very good on such a difficult course. I was proud as everyone had played really well .
For me it was a smashing group who kept their spirits and humour up on a couple of wet and windy days. Thank you all, and I very much look forward the hearing how your season goes.

People's Climate March in Washington, DC
Tens of thousands have already signed up to attend the People's Climate March on April 29 in Washington, D.C. as we stand together to fight for our planet and our people.
What: People's Climate March
Where: Washington, D.C. and around the country.
RSVP now: Let us know you're in so you don't miss important updates.
President Trump is already following through on his outrageous campaign threats to roll back not only environmental safeguards, but also restrict the rights of people of color, immigrants, working people, Muslims, women, and the LGBTQ community.
Together we can stand up for what is right. Together we can triumph.
Let Trump know you won't back down from a fight. RSVP right now to get important resistance updates.
We will come together in a massive march on Washington to show Trump and his cabinet that we mean business. The same government and corporate interests that work to restrict rights and threaten the safety and well-being of Muslims, immigrants, working people, people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community simultaneously back the fossil fuel projects that destroy our planet and pollute our communities.
Our government should be protecting the people and the planet from greedy corporations, not helping them make money at the expense of the people. Right now, the person running U.S. foreign policy is the former Exxon CEO. The fate of our planet shouldn't be in the hands of an oil company executive. We need to show that we will not stand for this kind of government. We have a right to clean air, water, and a stable climate.
It takes everyone to change everything. RSVP to let us know you're coming to the main march in Washington on April 29 or to a local event near you.
Rally for "The People's Budget" May 4th
The Protect WV Campaign and Our Children, Our Future are fighting for a state budget that does 3 things:
1. Protects our schools, jobs, roads, seniors, and medicine.
2. Everyone Pays Their Fair Share
3. Doesn't kick the can down the road.
74% of West Virginians agree with us, and it is our job to make sure that the voters are heard. We oppose any plan that balances the budget by hurting children, seniors, and infrastructure. We oppose any plan that shifts tax burdens even more to working families. We oppose any plan that will put us in the same place in 2 or 3 years.
At 9am, we will review what's in the budget proposal and give everyone the facts, so you can then be ready for meetings with your lawmakers later in the day.
Yours for Action,
Team WV CAG

Uganda to send troops to South Sudan
Uganda and South Sudan have reached an agreement that will see Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF) re-enter South Sudan reports the South Sudan News Agency (SSNA).
The Ugandan army is to be deployed along the major roads that link the Ugandan capital Kampala and the South Sudan capital Juba.
"There is an active discussion between South Sudan and Uganda over the possibility of Uganda's military re-intervention in our country. Kiir and Museveni started talking about bringing back UPDF to South Sudan last month [May]," an unnamed government official told SSNA
The report further says that Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and the South Sudanese President Salva Kiir have agreed to have the UPDF soldiers also deployed in areas that a threatening the South Sudanese government.
"President Kiir is only implementing what he wants not the peace. The big problem here is that Taban Deng Gai who is now the First Vice President has no power to change anything Kiir wants and it is a big problem," the source added. The official described the FVP Gai as "a man with no real power."
South Sudan's armed opposition, the SPLM/A-IO, has intensified its operation against government troops in and around Equatoria region in the southern parts of the country, causing Uganda's truck drivers to stop delivery of Ugandan goods to Juba, according to SSNA.
Uganda is South Sudan's biggest trading partner, and the Ugandan traders recently called on Ugandan President to order occupation of main roads linking South Sudan with Uganda, claiming Kampala has rights to protect its business interests in the war-wracked South Sudan.
