This enquiry question focuses on Edward Carson as a key historical figure leader in the period 1910 -1914 and his legacy to assess the hypothesis that 'Edward Carson was the uncrowned King of Ulster'.
The aim of this enquiry is to engage pupils with the complexity of causation in history. Teachers will decide on the level of detail and conceptual complexity appropriate to their pupils. The links below may be useful
How to carry out the enquiry process (PREZI presentation hyperlink)
Progression in Enquiry skills (hyperlink)
Overview of enquiry In stage 1: students research the historical background to the enquiry In stage 2: Students use a range of sources to examine information and sources to consider the nature and quality of Carson's leadership. In stage 3: Students use a range of sources to find out about the methods Carson used to get support in both Ireland and Britain. In stage 4: Students examine the wider historical context and explore reasons why Unionists felt they needed to support Carson and the Ulster Volunteer Force.
Pupils examine images portraying Edward Carson and discuss the impression these images portray, for example;
Who do they think these images would appeal to at the time?
Who do they think these images would appeal to today?
They are then asked to focus on Carson's statue at Stormont and consider:
Why might a person have a statue erected of them?
For what possible reasons was it placed outside Stormont?
Why do they think people want to remember Carson?
What do they think about Edward Carson at this stage? E.g. Do they think it likely that he was a good leader?
Teacher notes pupil perceptions on the board and remind students that their perceptions of people in the past have all been created for them by the images they have just used which have been created in the past for a purpose.
Stage 1 Beginning the enquiry
Pupils should research background information on:
The Act of Union of 1801 which made Ireland a part of the British Empire the challenges to British rule from Nationalists groups who wanted Irish independence and to leave the British Empire.
The anti-Home Rule challenge to British rule from the Ulster Unionists led by Edward Carson and why these plans got so much support in Ulster?
Stage 2: Exploring the hypothesis that 'Edward Carson was the uncrowned King of Ulster'
For Unionists of his time and also today Edward Carson is the person who saved part of Ulster from Home Rule and is therefore considered by many as 'the uncrowned King of Ulster'. Yet throughout his life his deeply held wish was that all of Ireland should remain within the British Empire. Why then did he end keeping only one part of Ireland – 6 counties of Ulster - as part of Britain?
1 What did people who lived at the time think about Edward Carson as a leader? Teacher divides the class into groups and distributes copies of Resource 2: on Edward Carson's career. Teacher reads the sources and answers any questions the students may have. Students are asked to examine the sources and find example of Carson being admired for being
having a distinguished career in law and politics
having a good public image(well known in the press)
Able to lead other people
Had widespread support for his ideas throughout his career.
Students work in pairs to match examples from the biographical information below with the following statements:
Carson was a skilful politician
Carson inspired people to support him as their leader.
Caron was prepared to support the use of force to stop Home Rule
Pair of students to share their findings with another pair and look for similarities and differences in their choices
The Career of Edward Carson
Edward Carson was a powerful politician, a renowned barrister and leader of the Ulster Unionists in 1912. Throughout his political career he was opposed to the introduction of Home Rule for Ireland. He was prepared to support military resistance to Home Rule, as in the slogan "Ulster will fight and Ulster will be Right". in 1914 He supported the Ulster Volunteer Force and threatened to bring Ireland to the brink of civil war in his desire to save the Union.
In 1889, aged 35, Carson became the youngest QC (Queen's Council) in Ireland. He progressed up the legal and social ladder because of his persuasive speaking abilities and by winning some high profile legal cases.
In 1902 Carson was appointed Solicitor General for Ireland and in the same year was elected to represent Trinity in the House of Commons. He moved his legal practice to England and there he established himself as one of the leading lawyers of this time.
In 1912 Carson accepted the invitation to become leader of the Irish Unionists dedicating himself to work for their cause "whatever may happen"
Carson addressed mass Unionist rallies against Home Rule throughout Ulster
In September 1911 he told 50,000 Unionists and Orangemen at a rally at James Craig's house in Craigavon that the moment a Home Rule Bill would get passed they must be prepared to become responsible for the government of the province of Ulster,
On 28th September 1912 237,368 men signed the Ulster Covenant pledging to use "all means necessary" to defeat Home Rule. Carson was the first to sign.
In 1914 Carson supported the decision to import arms for the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) from Germany. In April 1914 25,000 guns were landed at Larne
During the First World War Carson held two important appointments:
from 1915 as Attorney General and
from 1917 as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1917.
In 1918, after the 1st World War had ended, Carson became MP for Belfast Duncairn
IN July 12th 1920 Carson rallied the Unionist cause by telling Orangemen on that the UVF would be called out if there was any threat to the Union.
In 1929 Carson retired from politics and he unveiled a statue of himself at Stormont on a large plinth with the inscription "By the loyalists of Ulster as an expression of their love and admiration for their subject."
Carson died in 1935. He was given a state funeral and was buried in St Anne's Cathedral Belfast - the only person to be buried there.
Stage 3 Tactics
Students consider how each of the methods that Carson used to gain support would have helped his overall plan to keep all of Ireland within the British Empire. (It may be useful for students to use a cluster diagram to help organise their notes) Students should first watch some film extracts about Carson on You tube or BritishPathe.com and then select details in the information and sources below which supports each of the following statements: Between in 1912-1914 Edward Carson was taken seriously by:
the British Conservative Party.
the leader of the opposition John Redmond.
the media in 1912-1914
Friends In High Places?
On 9 April, the eve of the Third Home Rule Bill's introduction, Carson addressed a mass demonstration at Balmoral in Belfast attended by 200,000 Unionists, including
contingents from the Orange Order and Unionists Clubs which marched from the city centre;
a large number of English and Scottish Conservative MPs; and
the new Conservative leader Andrew Bonar Law.
In July, Law said at a rally in Britain "I can imagine no lengths of resistance to which Ulster can go in which I would not be prepared to support her."(From left to right Walter Long Conservative MP, Lord Londonderry, Bonar Law and Carson.). Carson's and his campaigners in the Ulster Unionists realised how useful the media could be in struggle to resist Home Rule. His photograph appeared in newspapers and magazines such as Vanity Fair and he used the photo opportunities which the new moving images and films presented . Halfpenny postcards were also mass produced to spread political propaganda in Ireland and Britain. John Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalist Party represented at Westminster those who did not support Carson and the Ulster Unionists. Redmond believed in home rule or self government for Ireland but did not want Ireland to be totally independent from Britain. Redmond underestimated the seriousness of the Unionist opposition to Home Rule. He believed that Carson was not serious about his threats to use violence and thought that eventually the militant behaviour would stop. He advised the British government to stand firm and make no concessions to the Unionists.
Students might summarise their learning using the matrix below and/or pull together all the key information (for example a mind map or a spider diagram) to reach their own conclusion about 'why Unionists supported Edward Carson'.
HOME RULE Protect Union withBritain Protect Home Rule forIreland Protect theBritish Empire Protect Religious liberty Protect Ulster Unionist political ideas
Finish each of the statements in the boxes above with as many details as you can.
Support forCarson?
Stage 4 The wider context
Students examine the broader economic and religious context to identify reasons why so many Unionists in Ulster supported Carson in his attempts to stop Home Rule for Ireland and why Nationalists used the same tactics to gain Home Rule.
Belfast in the 1900s
In the century after the Act of Union in 1800 Ulster had flourished economically, compared to the rest of Ireland
Unionists believed that this was mainly due to Ireland being part of Britain
By the early 1900s Belfast had replaced Dublin as the biggest city in Ireland
Belfast had the largest shipbuilding industry at the time which, at its height, employed 30,000 workers and was Belfast's biggest employer
Belfast also had significant engineering works and rope making industries.
However, Belfast had no raw materials and had to import supplies of steel, iron and or oil.
Unionists began to fear that under a Home Rule government the cost of importing the raw materials to Belfast would rise and that this would threaten the markets which Belfast needed to export its goods.
These economic arguments gained a lot of support from all sections of the Unionist community but especially in Ulster.
The Ulster Covenant claimed that Home Rule for Ireland "would be disastrous to the well being of Ulster as well as the whole of Ireland."
Home Rule is Rome Rule
The Ulster Covenant also claimed that Home Rule would threaten Unionist civil and religious liberty
Many Unionists believed that under a Home Rule parliament the Pope's word would become law in Ireland.
Unionists felt justified in using whatever means necessary to stop what they regarded as a papist threat to their religion.
Ulster Protestants felt that Ulster had been loyal to the British Empire and that Ulster was owed a great debt for her loyalty.
The Orange Order
There were strong connections between the Protestant Orange Order and the Ulster Volunteer Force.
In 1911 some Orangemen began to arm themselves and train as an army.
In 1912 when the Third Home Rule Bill was introduced the Orange Order in Ulster supported Carson and Unionists in their resistance to the bill.
Nationalists
John Redmond leader of the Irish Nationalist party used democratic methods at Westminster to try to get Home Rule for Ireland.
By late 1913, some Nationalists were convinced that they too should form a paramilitary organisation to reinforce their demands for Home Rule and self-government.
They also wanted to exert additional pressure on the British government in the same way that Ulster Unionists had done by establishing the Ulster Volunteer Force.
The Irish Volunteers (IVF) were formed on 25th November 1913
By mid 1914 the IVF had 180,000 members.
If Ulster Unionists felt that it was wrong to have Home rule imposed on them then was it not equally wrong to allow them to deprive the rest of Ireland of Home Rule?
Carson's historical significance
Students now examine what some modern historians thought about Edward Carson and which aspects of his career they have chosen to write about .Students will then decide if the historians ideas support or conflict with their own ideas. Teacher sets up a line of continuum across the top of the classroom and labels one end SUCCESS and the other end FAILURE. Teacher distributes copies of one source to each group and asks them to read the source carefully and then one student to come to the front of the class and place their source on the line of continuum. For example if the group feels the source tells them that Edward Carson was a poor leader they place their source at the FAILURE end and if they think their source tells them he was good leader then they place their source at the SUCCESS end of the line. Teacher asks each group to justify the position of their source and gives the other groups opportunities to challenge the groups decision or to ask about anything they may want clarified. Students to write up their conclusion about Edward Carson as a flow chart or spider diagram. The introduction and the start of the paragraphs are written for the students and they are asked to choose details from their notes to help them to complete each paragraph. When the process is finished teacher helps the class to pull their ideas together and to share their conclusions with each other. Teacher might model how a mind map is a useful tool to help structure information, develop key points, and make connections between them. Students present their information. Feedback should focus on
How well they have answered the question
Evidence of the use of enquiry skills
Reflection, for example, on how and why their initial opinions may have changed as they progressed through each stage?
Communication of the information
Edward Carson had said that he wanted the whole of Ireland to stay under British rule but by threatening rebellion to block Home Rule he may have unintentionally introduced other groups to follow his example. Can the students begin to understand:
Why people in Ulster were getting more and more fearful about what they might lose under a Home Rule parliament?
Why Nationalists were becoming more extreme in their methods to get Home Rule for Ireland?
Why formerly democratic leaders can be drawn into actions which have consequences which they had never planned?
Students should find out what happened in Ireland between 1914-1918.
Did Home Rule get passed?
Why did Carson fail to keep the whole of Ireland in the British Empire?
What groups of people were now prepared to use violence to achieve their goals?
Now that they have some more information about Carson as a leader teacher gives students opportunities to revise/amend or change in any way the hypothesis they suggested in the first stage of the enquiry. Teacher asks the students what changes they have made and to justify the reasons for their choices. (It may also enliven the discussions if at this stage pupils are given opportunities to discuss what qualities they feel a leader at the time might have needed to have.)
What have learned about Edward Carson by using an enquiry approach?
Would you have preferred to learn about him by reading a textbook?
Why do you think Edward Carson is still important today?
Do you think we should continue to remember him in the same way or could he be remembered differently?
Do you think he deserves his statue in Stormont?
Why is it important to question what is portrayed about key figures in history ?

Come clean!
The submission to the Federal AMA through the Tas AMA was a briefing paper and never stated to be anything else.
It focused on cancer data and neurological cases that had been difficult to explain clinically in this area – the "soft data" was excluded as we felt it was too hard to quantify at present.
However the AMA felt our data collection and organisation, and our methodology was fatally flawed and so disregarded the cancer and neurological data.
Nevertheless, they felt that the problems identified were real and needed addressing nationally using water quality as the main thrust.
We still have not received a report on our "problematic methodology" (despite several requests) and had no calls from the Fed AMA committee to explain or discuss our concerns, including the toxicity testing. Be that as it may, there are several major concerns that are left unanswered:
* How is the average GP/doctor best alerting public health authorities to real concerns and how should these be dealt with by authorities?
It is now a year down the road since I raised issues and I feel that many have not been addressed. We still do not have the report by a toxicologist who was going to assist with some of the cases.
* Samples taken from the river just upstream of the drinking water intake pipe proved to be toxic. This is the second lot of samples that show this. What is being done to identify the toxin? Is it in the ground water? What is the relevance to human health if we do not know what the toxin is?
Do other rivers show the same problem? Is the testing for individual chemicals the best way to demonstrate that the drinking water is clean and safe to drink? How do we know what chemicals to test for if we don't know what chemicals are in the catchment?
* What has happened to the precautionary principle? Do we just talk about it now, rather than ensure that it is part of our approach to risk?
Is the health of our communities (in it's broadest sense) not our number one priority?
If science can direct us down an exact path and can be shown to be consistent and correct, then lead on. If there is reasonable doubt as to it's ability to give the full story, then caution must enter.
To do otherwise is foolhardy. Remember the old maxim – "First of all, do no harm."

Water … and chemicals
alison bleaney
Questions as relevant today as they were in March 2005.
Still no action has been taken and no evidence of increased caution in approach to chemical usage or policy.
David obendorf
Marcus Scammell, Alison Bleaney, David Leaman and myself were invited to address a public meeting in St Helens after the broadcast of the Sunday program (September 2004)concerning the possible contamination of the town's water supply and Georges Bay by harmful chemicals.
At the meeting I proposed that the Menzies Research Institute UTAS be invited to conduct an independent epidemiological assessment of any unusual clustering of health conditions (cancers, neurological conditions, organ system failures etc) within the St Helens area.
I even asked David Llewellyn, the Minister for Health who also addressed the gathering to consider this approach. It seemed like a fair way of getting an independent, authoritative epidemiological review done by an organisation with the credibility and expertise to do it justice.
I guess the reason it wasn't called for and the reason why the report compiled by Dr Alison Bleaney and Dr Marcus Scammell has been rejected comes down to a perennial staking horse of Tasmanian politics……denial.
Practically speaking, this type of political delay and obfuscation works because it buys time. Time to react and get systems in place and hope that people have no recollection of underlying history.
Another word for it is arrogance.
Russell Vandenbergh
Continued congratulations to you Doc. Where was bravery and courage invented? Just remind me…
Dave Groves
Good for you Alison!
You have done well.
Why all that is good and true is stifled in this state is a mystery.

Module t

Author(s): Haris Skiadas, Barb Wahl

Provides density function, cumulative distribution function,
quantile function, and random number generator
for the Student's t distribution, which is defined by the pdf
$$f(x;\nu) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\nu}\,\textrm{B}(1/2, \nu/2)} \left(1+\frac{x^2}{\nu} \right)^{-\frac{\nu + 1}{2}}$$
where B is the Beta function, $x \in (-\infty, \infty)$ and $\nu >0$ is the degrees of freedom.

dt provides access to this probability density function,
pt to the cumulative distribution function, qt to the
quantile function (inverse cdf)
and rt to random deviates.

Finally, you can use tdistr to obtain an object
representing the t distribution for a given value of $\nu$.

dt(df, logp)(x)

Evaluates the t density function at x:
$$\textrm{dt}(\textrm{df})(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\textrm{df}}\,\textrm{B}(1/2, \textrm{df}/2)} \left(1+\frac{x^2}{\textrm{df}} \right)^{-\frac{\textrm{df} + 1}{2}}$$

Expects $\textrm{df} > 0$.

logp defaults to false; if logp is true, returns the
logarithm of the result.

pt(df, lowerTail, logp)(x)

Evaluates the lower-tail cdf at x for the t distribution:
$$\textrm{pt}(\textrm{df})(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{x} \frac{1}{\sqrt{\textrm{df}}\,\textrm{B}(1/2, \textrm{df}/2)} \left(1+\frac{x^2}{\textrm{df}} \right)^{-\frac{\textrm{df} + 1}{2}}$$

Expects $\textrm{df} > 0$.

lowerTail defaults to true; if lowerTail is false, returns
the upper tail probability instead.

logp defaults to false; if logp is true, returns the logarithm
of the result.

qt(df, lowerTail, logp)(p)

Evaluates the t distribution's quantile function
(inverse cdf) at p:
$$\textrm{qt}(\textrm{df})(p) = x \textrm{ such that } \textrm{prob}(X \leq x) = p$$
where $X$ is a random variable with the $t(\textrm{df})$ distribution.

Expects $\textrm{df} > 0$ and $0 \leq p \leq 1$.

lowerTail defaults to true; if lowerTail is false, p is
interpreted as an upper tail probability (returns
$x$ such that $\textrm{prob}(X > x) = p)$.

logp defaults to false; if logp is true, interprets p as
the logarithm of the desired probability.

Based on: R code

rt(df)()

Returns a random variate from the $t(\textrm{df})$ distribution.

Expects $\textrm{df} > 0$.

tdistr(df)

Returns an object representing a t distribution with $\textrm{df} > 0$
degrees of freedom, with properties d, p, q, r.

tdistr(a, b).d(x, logp)            // same as dt(a, b, logp)(x)
tdistr(a, b).p(x, lowerTail, logp) // same as pt(a, b, lowerTail, logp)(x)
tdistr(a, b).q(x, lowerTail, logp) // same as qt(a, b, lowerTail, logp)(x)
tdistr(a, b).r()                   // same as rt(a, b)()

Alchimie de la douleur est le quatre-vingt-unième poème de Spleen et Idéal dans la deuxième édition (1861) des Fleurs du Mal. Il est écrit sous la forme d'un sonnet organisé en octosyllabe.

Texte
Ce poème appartient à la section Spleen et Idéal.

Le terme "Hermès" se réfère à Hermès Trismégiste, un Dieu de l'écriture et du savoir qui serait le fondateur de l'alchimie.

Le terme "Midas" se réfère au personnage de la mythologie Midas qui aurait reçu de Dionysos le don (ou la malédiction) de changer tout ce qu'il touchait en or. Le rendant incapable de boire ou de manger.

Analyse
Dans ce poème, Baudelaire défend que le pouvoir de l'alchimiste est une malédiction, surtout lorsque le poète devient en proie à la tristesse : « (...) Je change l'or en fer / Et le paradis en enfer ». Le principe d'alchimie, qui est de changer la boue en or, est alors inversée, car de l'or, Baudelaire prétends faire de la boue. Ce principe de boue et d'or provient des dernières lignes du Projet inachevé d'un épilogue pour l'édition de 1861, dans le recueil Les Fleurs du Mal  : « Car j'ai de chaque chose extrait la quintessence : / Tu m'as donné ta boue et j'en ai fait de l'or. » ; le but est de réinventer la beauté, de ne plus se concentrer sur le Beau classique, ainsi le laid, le difforme, le sale apparaissent comme de nouvelles formes de beauté. Cependant, même si sa tristesse lui fait voir des choses sombres, il parvient paradoxalement à transfigurer la douleur. La douleur est donc fertile car elle est une source d'inspiration pour le poète.

Alfred de Musset, un autre poète du 19e siècle, défend dans La nuit de mai que les plus beaux poèmes naissent de la douleur :

text:
This disturbing and vastly influential novel has been interpreted on many levels of structure and symbol; but most commentators agree that the book explores the themes of guilt, anxiety, and moral impotency in the face of some ambiguous force.
Joseph K. is an employee in a bank, a man without particular qualities or abilities. He could be anyone, and in some ways he is everyone. His inconsequence makes doubly strange his arrest by the officer of the court in the large city where K. lives. He tries in vain to discover how he has aroused the suspicion of the court. His honesty is conventional; his sins, with Elsa the waitress, are conventional; and he has no striking or dangerous ambitions. He can only ask questions, and receives no answers that clarify the strange world of courts and court functionaries in which he is compelled to wander.
The plight of Joseph K., consumed by guilt and condemned for a crime he does not understand by a court with which he cannot communicate, is a profound and disturbing image of man in the modern world. There are no formal charges, no procedures, and little information to guide the defendant. One of the most unsettling aspects of the novel is the continual juxtaposition of alternative hypotheses, multiple explanations, different interpretations of cause and effect, and the uncertainty it breeds. The whole rational structure of the world is undermined.
Is it not better to fall into the hands of a murderer than into the dreams of a lustful woman? — Friedrich Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra
Chapter 1: The Arrest / Conversation with Frau Grubach / Then Frulein Brstner
Joseph K., our hero, wakes up the morning of his thirtieth birthday expecting his breakfast to be brought to him. What he gets instead are two warders, Franz and Willem, telling him he's under arrest. He protests some, demanding to see their boss, at first thinking it must be a joke perpetrated on him by some people at the Bank, where he works as a chief clerk. He meets the Inspector, who says it's for real but refuses to say why. The Inspector is seated in Frulein Brstner's room next door, and K. sees three men he knows from the bank there, Rabensteiner, Kaminer, and Kullich, whom he greets angrily before hurrying off to work.
After he gets home from work that evening, he talks with his landlady, Frau Grubach. He apologizes for the ruckus and she says it's all right, but that she doesn't really understand this business of his arrest. He starts to go to his room and asks if Frulein Brstner is in, so he can apologize for the appropriation of her room. No, she isn't, and he can see her room himself. Frau Grubach starts wondering about her nocturnal habits, as she's seen her with young men around town at night, only to be interrupted by K., defending her from unwarranted aspersions on her character. She leaves, and he goes to bed, where he can't sleep.
At about 11:30 Frulein Brstner, a typist, comes home and K. goes to talk to her. He tells her what happened that morning, but she doesn't seem to be really interested, asking bored questions about it, as if to get rid of him. A knock on the door down the hall interrupts them, and Joseph apologizes profusely for taking up her time and makes as if to leave, but not before grabbing her and kissing her savagely. Then he goes back to his own room.
Joseph gets a call at work telling him to show up for a brief inquiry into his case on Sunday. He goes to the building mentioned that Sunday, only to find it's just a big tenement house, with no distinguishing marks. After wandering through the building he at last is directed to the Court of Inquiry by a strange woman doing laundry. The Court is sitting in an overcrowded, stuffy room, with a platform and a big audience of important looking men. He gets berated for being late and is asked if he's a house painter. K. takes this opportunity to address the audience (which answers with applause) about how much this court sucks, it can't get its facts straight, this whole thing is a farce, a conspiracy He is cut off by a man pressing the woman he saw outside the courtroom to him and shrieking. K. makes his way through the crowd and leaves.
Chapter 3: In the Empty Courtroom / The Student / The Offices
The next Sunday K. feels he should go back to the court, only to get there and finding nobody there but the woman he saw before. She apologizes for the disturbance, and blames it on Bertold, a law student who has been chasing her around, although she is the wife of the usher. K. examines the books left on the table, only to find that apparently the Examining Magistrate has a taste for erotica. He is interrupted by the woman, who starts to tell him about the Examining Magistrate and how he was writing a brief on K.'s case last week before coming in to look at her sleeping. He even gave her some stockings, look! And she shows them to him. Bertold has entered the room at some point and is hulking towards them. Nevertheless the woman insinuates that K. can have her, only to be interrupted by Bertold, who carries her off. K. chases them into the court offices but loses them.
The usher comes in and complains about Bertold chasing his wife (even though she throws herself at him) and how he would love to see him flattened. He tries to interest Joseph in this matter and they start walking through the labyrinthine, dark, stifling offices. Along the way they get to a hallway filled with men waiting for word on their cases. K. gets spooked and wants to leave, but he's lost. He begins to feel faint and has to sit down, helped by a young woman and a man. He finally makes his way out, carried along by the man and young woman, badly shaken and not wanting to come back.
Chapter 4: Frulein Brstner's Friend
(Editors's note: In the new edition, this chapter is consigned to the Fragments section, so it goes straight from the empty courtroom to the whipper.)
Joseph wants to talk to Frulein Brstner again, but she hasn't been around. One day he notices an awful racket coming from her room and finds out that her friend, Frulein Montag, a sickly French teacher, is moving in with her. He talks to Frau Grubach about it, who says she'll stop the noise if he wants but that yes, Frulein Brstner is indeed having Frulein Montag move in with her. Joseph is upset over this turn of events, apparently started by his own behavior, and goes to see the room for himself, where he meets Frulein Montag. She won't tell him exactly why she's moving in, and says that Frulein Brstner doesn't want to talk to him. He goes back to his room, thinking about what all this might mean.
K. is walking to his office in the Bank when he hears a horrible scream. He investigates and finds that Franz and Willem, the warders, are being whipped in a dark little storeroom. They plead with him to let them off, they have their own troubles, but the whipper is adamant about doing his duty. K. tries to buy him off, but no, that won't do. Finally he tries to pull them out of the room but is foiled. For the next week he can't get it out of his mind and goes back to look at the room, only to find everything as it was last week, with the whipper and the two warders there again. K. slams the door and yells for someone to clean out the closet.
K.'s uncle Karl (or Albert) visits him in his office. He has come in from the country, upset over his nephew's case and wanting to help him. They go to see one of his uncle's school friends, Dr. Huld, who is very sick but knows all about Joseph's case. He has just been talking to the Chief Clerk, and the three of them begin talking. Meanwhile Joseph's mind is on the nurse, a young woman called Leni. In the middle of the conversation he hears a crash, and goes to check it out, finding out that Leni just wanted to get him alone with her. She wants him to like her, she insists, but Joseph is more interested in his case. This painting of an important-looking judge, for instance. Will he be his judge? Oh, no, no, he's just an examining magistrate, done up as if he were important. In fact, he's just a midget. Leni advises him to confess and not be so unyielding.She wants to know all about his girlfriend Elsa, a waitress in a club, and he shows her a photograph. She is less than impressed, saying that she looks hard and wouldn't he like to trade her for a better one? Does she have a defect, like Leni's webbed hand? Joseph seems intrigued and kisses it, only to be hauled onto the floor by an exultant Leni.
Later she gives him a key so he can come back anytime he wants. He promptly bumps into his uncle who berates him for fooling around with what is obviously the lawyer's mistress, and they leave.
Chapter 7: Lawyer / Manufacturer / Painter
K. is now totally obsessed over his case, which is now about six months along. He sometimes meets with Dr. Huld, who tells him that yes, he's doing everything he can, but things have to go slowly. One needs to understand how things work, the lawyer tells him, and you definitely need someone who knows the ropes. Without that, your case is hopeless. K. can't figure out what exactly the purpose of these speeches is, but he's getting impatient. Nothing seems to be happening with his case, and he decides to do more himself, as the lawyer isn't doing anything for him. At work, where he's feeling increasingly threatened by the Assistant Manager, one of his clients, a manufacturer, knows about his case and tells him about the painter Titorelli, who might be able to help him. He even writes a letter K. can give the painter. He thinks it over and decides to go see him right away, even though the Assistant Manager is just dying for some reason to steal his clients (he thinks).
He finds the place where the painter lives, a ramshackle, stuffy, poorly-built apartment, surrounded by a bunch of young girls who want to know why K.'s here. Titorelli greets him and locks the door behind him, complaining about "these brats." K. notices another painting of a judge. Who is he? Oh, he's Justice, in the abstract. But in reality he's just another low magistrate who's had his picture painted like that. They're very vain, these judges.
They begin to talk about his case, interrupted at times by the girls talking or asking if K. has left yet. I'm innocent, K. maintains. Good, says Titorelli. But the Court is not to be budged. It owns everything, like those girls out there. It is impervious to truth. What acquittal do you want? There's actual acquittal, apparent acquittal, and protraction. Actual acquittal is the best but can't be influenced. Besides, I've never heard of one. Apparent acquittal I could help you with. I could write an affidavit swearing your innocence. But if you are acquitted, it isn't final. This would be followed by the second arrest, the second trial and acquittal, and then the third arrest, and so on. Protraction is just where you keep your case at the lowest level of the Court. You don't have to worry about sudden arrests or anything like that, but you do have to keep a constant eye on your case, since it still has to be kept going.
K. has heard quite enough of the Court's machinations and gets up to leave. Titorelli convinces him to buy a few of his landscape paintings, and K. walks out the back door, only to find himself in the law offices again. He meets the people waiting on their cases again and finds an usher to lead him out. He goes back to the bank and hides the pictures in his desk.
Chapter 8: Block, the Tradesman / Dismissal of the Lawyer
K. has had enough of Dr. Huld's crap. He decides to fire him and goes to his place to tell him that. Upon getting there at ten P.M. he sees a strange man with a half-naked Leni, who runs off in a hurry. He questions the man, who is Rudi Block, a grain merchant. He is also a client of the lawyer. They make their way to the kitchen, where Leni is making soup for the lawyer. He demands to know if they're lovers, but she just tries to divert his attention by claiming to have more information about his case. K. is unimpressed and Leni leaves to give the lawyer his soup.
K. and Block get to talking, and Block says his case has been going on for five years. A secrethe has five other lawyers on his case, and it's the only thing on his mind. He's always at the offices, trying to see what's going on with his case, and they have a weird superstition there: you can tell the way a man's case will turn out by the shape of his lips. And poor Joseph is going to lose his case very soon by this reckoning.
Leni comes back and sees them talking. She tells K. the lawyer is waiting for him. Block lives here, she says. The lawyer is very unpredictable and you never know when he might want to see you. She shows them his room, a tiny little maid's room. K., pressed for a secret in return by Block, tells him he is going to fire the lawyer. Block and Leni are flabbergasted and try to chase him. K. goes in to Huld, who tells him he knows all about Leni's affairs with accused men. Accused men are attractive, you know. Even Block.
K. tells the lawyer that he's had it with him. He's done nothing for him. The lawyer insists that nothing much happens in any case, leading K. to insist they're as much in the right as him. Huld says he takes only the cases that touch him closely. K. is unimpressed, so the lawyer brings in Block.
Huld saysactually yellsat Block that his case is in trouble, that it hasn't even started, that the people at the court call it hopeless, but he's still there to fight for him. Block demonstrates his gratefulness by getting on his knees and kissing his hand. K. gets the feeling he's watching a staged performance of the lawyer and his dog, Block, and remains unmoved.
An Italian, one of the bank's biggest clients, comes to town and K. is asked to show him around. He especially wants to see the cathedral, where he'll meet K. Joseph gets there and sees no Italian, but only the priest calling his name. He talks about K.'s case, saying it's going badly. He's guilty, after all, isn't he? No, I'm innocent, says K., I just need more help. Like from women? Women have a lot of influence, says K. doggedly.
They start to walk around the cathedral, and the priest tells the parable "Before the Law." The man from the country comes to the door seeking admittance to the Law, but the guard says he can't come in now. There are plenty of other doors and guards, and he's just the lowest, don't you know? So the man sits and waits by the door for years on end, trying to find some way to get the guard to let him in, bribing him, pleading, begging the fleas in the guard's coat to convince him to let him in. Finally, when the man is about to die, he asks why nobody else ever came to the door. This door was meant only for you, the guard says. And now I'm going to close it. They discuss it at some length. Is the doorkeeper subservient to the man? The other way around? Did the man come of his own free will? Is he deluded? It is not necessary to accept everything as true, only to accept it as necessary, says the priest. But, says K., then the world is based on lies.
K. decides to leave, since he has to go b ack to work. The priest tells him that he, the priest, also belongs to the Court, which wants nothing of him and allows him to leave whenever he wants.
On the evening before his thirty-first birthday, two men come to Joseph's apartment and, their arms entwined with his on either side of him, begin to walk him through the city. Along the way he sees Frulein Brstner walking along in front of them. He watches her until she disappears into darkness. Finally they arrive at an abandoned quarry. They take off his coat and shirt and lie him down with a rock for a headrest. They take out a butcher knife and begin passing it to each other over him. He is apparently supposed to take it and plunge it into his own chest. But he doesn't, instead looking over at a house across the way with a light on. Someone is standing at the window on the top floor, and Joseph wonders who it is. Where is the Judge, the High Court, that he couldn't reach? He holds out his hands and spreads his fingers. Then one of the men takes the knife and stabs him, twisting the knife twice. "'Like a dog!' he said; it seemed as if the shame was to outlive him."
Joseph is at the bank and gets a call telling him to come to court right away. Instead he decides to go and see Elsa, his girlfriend, a waitress. Will they punish him? No. Good. And he hangs up. He takes a cab to see her, thinking of his bank business.
Although he hasn't seen his mother, a half-blind old widow living in a small town, in three years, K. suddenly decides to go visit her one day at lunch. She's been getting more pious, which kind of disgusts him. He tells Khne, an attendant at the bank, what to do while he's gone and while waiting for him to come back, thinks about the threatening Assistant Manager and the accursed Rabensteiner, Kaminer, and Kullich.
K. becomes good friends with Hasterer, a lawyer. They frequently go to his house with some other friends and talk over dinner. Hasterer is a master speaker, taking on all comers without breaking a sweat. He has a woman named Helene living with him for a while, who at first stays in bed reading crappy novels but then starts to show up at dinner in a fantastically out of place old ballgown. Finally Hasterer gets bored of her and sends her packing. The Assistant Manager tells K. he knows about his friendship with Hasterer, which somewhat upsets K.
K. tries to find out where the first notification of his case came from, and with Titorelli and Wolfart's help finds it. It is, of course, a totally negligible office, existing only to rubber stamp anything the higher ups want done.
Titorelli and K. have become close, since K. is always bothering and consulting him about his case. Meanwhile K. is being worn out by his case, sometimes having nightmares about Frau Grubach's other lodgers all pointing the finger at him and accusing him, and then him wandering around the offices meeting truly bizarre figures. Or perhaps he dreams about Titorelli, that they were sitting in front of a fire, K. begging him for something and Titorelli granting it, or them running around the law offices.
Conflict with the Assistant Manager
K. and the Assistant Manager aren't getting along very well, since K. sees him as an usurper, just waiting to get K. fired and taking his place. The Assistant Manager must see that K. won't go down without a fight, that he's still alive and well. The Assistant Manager comes into Joseph's office one day so Joseph can pitch his proposal for something, and the whole time the Assistant Manager is playing with a part of his desk with his penknife. He gets up and sits on it to fix it, breaking it instead.
A Fragment (what an inventive title!)
Joseph and his uncle come out of a theater into the pouring rain, and Joseph tries to think of some way to get him to go home so he won't have to put him up for the night. He says that his uncle has been helpful, thanks, I have all the help I need, you can go home tomorrow, or tonight even.
Joseph K. (Josef K.) Our hero, he is awakened one morning and arrested for something, which he is never told. Over the course of a year, from his 30th to 31st birthdays, he tries to figure out why he is being accused and tries to fight the Court, but finally seems to just surrender to its power.

Hasterer A prosecuting counsel. K. wants to call him as soon as he is arrested. In the fragment "Prosecuting Counsel" K is a very close friend of his, and they frequently go to his house, where he lives with a woman called Helene for a little while.
Frau Grubach K's landlady, the owner of the building that K., Frulein Brstner, Frulein Montag, and others live in. She is very fond of K. and tries her best to make him happy, even if she does think he's guilty.
Rabensteiner A fellow worker at the Bank, he goes to K.'s apartment when he is arrested. Lazy.
Kaminer Another worker at the Bank who is at K.'s place when he is arrested. Repulsively modest.
Kullich (Kullych) Yet another worker at the Bank who turns up at K.'s. Stupid. K. wants to slap his pasty white cheeks. K. hates all three of these low-level drudges.
Frulein Brstner The girl living in the apartment next to K.'s, she is a typist. He and she have a strange encounter the evening after he is arrested. He kisses her like an animal and she apparently feels threatened, since she has Frulein Montag move in with her. She turns up again at the very end, when K. is being led to his death he sees her walking ahead of him for a little while before disappearing.
Captain Lanz Frau Grubach's nephew, who sleeps in the living room the night K. is arrested and interrupts K. and Frulein Brstner by making noises. Later, he and Frulein Montag talk in the hall while K. is inspecting Frulein Brstners room, apparently about him.
The Examining Magistrate One of the more mysterious characters in the book, he is frequently referred to in hushed tones but what we see of him is not very impressive. He questions K. and gets a defiant speech in return. In his spare time he reads porn books and chases the usher's wife.
The Usher's Wife (Hilda in the movie) She lets K. into the courtroom both times, and the first time interrupts his speech by being hauled off by the student Bertold, the second she tries to seduce him by saying he can do anything he wants with her and take her anywhere he wants. This reverie is interrupted by Bertold.
Bertold The short, bandy-legged law student who chases the usher's wife around, much to the usher's disgust.

Dr. Huld the Advocate K.'s lawyer, who seems to know his way around the Court. Promises to help K., but everything is always being delayed so that nothing concrete ever happens. K. later comes back to fire him, only to be given the routine with Block as an example of how grateful he should be for his help.
The Chief Clerk He has just been talking to Huld when Uncle Karl and K. arrive, so he hides himself. Later he introduces himself and talks about Joseph's case with Huld and K.'s uncle.
LeniThe whore! Dr. Huld's nurse and also mistress, a position she also holds with several other of his clients. Claims she wants to help K. and tells him to basically surrender to the Court. She is eager to show K her physical defect, a webbed hand, which apparently turns Joseph on, so that he kisses it and ends up on the floor with her. Later on she gives him a key so he can come back whenever he wants. Coming back another time, he sees that she has somebody else too, Block. Participates in the ridiculous playacting scene between Block and Huld.
Elsa K.'s girlfriend at the start of the novel, she is a waitress at a cabaret. He goes to see her once a week. One time he goes to see her instead of to court, which annoys the Court. Leni doesn't like the way she looks in her picture.
Manufacturer Comes to see K. at the bank and tells him about Titorelli the painter, giving him a letter of recommendation for him to give to Titorelli.
Titorelli The painter. From painting the judges he knows the Court inside and out but can't necessarily help K. He explains the way it operates and then tries to sell K. some of his nature scenes. Has his very own harem of groupies around his place, which gets on his nerves at times. In the fragment "The House" he and K. see each other a lot, trying to get somewhere with his case.
The girls The chiquitas who congregate around Titorelli's apartment, harassing him and everyone who comes around. They belong to the Court, says Titorelli grimly.
Rudi Block The grain merchant who has taken to living at Huld's place, his case has been going on for five years. Has taken several other lawyers too, in order to get his case going, which is all he thinks about, but to little avail. He is yet another beneficiary of Leni's services, and gets involved in ridiculous playacting in front of K. in an effort to get him to keep Huld. The lawyer's dog, so to speak.
The Italian colleague K. is supposed to show him around town, at least the cathedral, but this turns out to be just a way to get K. there himself.
The priest Talks to K., tells him the parable "Before the Law" and discusses it with him. He is a mouthpiece of the Court, and tells him the Court wants nothing of him.

Home » Treatments » Who Are The Real Experts In Treating Tennis Elbow?
I think it's an important question to ask: Who are the real authorities when it comes to the treatment of Tennis Elbow?... Doctors? Surgeons? Physical Therapists? Chiropractors? Athletic trainers?
As a little "thought experiment" let's take a look at what constitutes an expert or authority, in general. So, who is more of an expert in your mind?
Someone who has academic, technical or theoretical knowledge – but who doesn't have any practical experience with it?
Or someone who has significant practical experience with something – but who doesn't necessarily have any official academic training in the subject?
The reason I pose the question this way to you, (not offering any middle ground) is that this is how the landscape of treatment for Golfer's and Tennis Elbow often appears to me.
Now, I don't want to disparage over-worked and well-meaning Doctors, but do you imagine that your average general medical practitioner is an expert in treating Tennis Elbow?
Here's the problem with this approach to treatment.
First off, these things are not really treatments for the underlying cause of tendon pain and injury.
And to mitigate or suppress a suspected symptom of the injury – That being inflammation.
And suppressing a symptom is not the same as treating the injury that causes that symptom – Is it?
The medical research going back decades has demonstrated pretty clearly that Tennis and Golfer's Elbow (and many other chronic tendon problems) are not primarily inflammatory conditions.
Inflammation has never been the problem, it's always a symptom – AND the research says inflammation isn't even present in these conditions, usually!
So, what I'm really saying here is that we have these medical authorities – these ostensible experts – who are offering a treatment based on a theory about Tennis Elbow that others in their own field, medical researchers, say is wrong, and which has been wrong for 30 plus years.
But the medical system, being what it is, has not updated itself and the understanding that Tennis and Golfer's Elbow are degenerative conditions where inflammation is largely missing – not raging out of control – hasn't trickled down from the academic medical researchers in the ivory towers to the Doctors on the ground floor handing out the inflammation pills and the Cortisone shots.
Again, not to disparage Doctors. Think of all the B.S. they have to put up with these days in managed care, and all the more serious conditions they have to stay up to date on, not to mention all the medications and their potential side effects and interactions.
Golfer's and Tennis Elbow are pretty low on the scale of priorities, after all, so how could we even begin to blame them if they're not all experts on Tennis Elbow.
Golfer's and Tennis Elbow are soft tissue issues – meaning they are muscle and tendon problems – and there's no debate about that.
Aren't the practitioners who treat and manipulate tissues by hand the experts on the front line in the treatment of Tennis and Golfer's Elbow?
Not the practitioners who treat the symptoms from afar?
These are muscle and tendon problems, by nature, after all.
Who knows best how to work on these tissues? To massage and manipulate them to help restore plasticity, blood flow and normal tone and function?
Massage Therapists And Other Bodyworkers Are The Experts In Manipulating Muscles And Tendons To Help Them Heal!
If Tennis Elbow is a condition where muscles and tendons have become dysfunctional or abnormal (which it is) who better to treat it (or teach you how to treat it yourself) than someone who manipulates tendons by hand?
But I've been specializing in treating chronic tendon problems, especially Tennis and Golfer's Elbow for about a decade and a half now, and I've had a very high success rate with my techniques, which are technically a form of "Massage" but much more specific than most forms of Massage Therapy.
See this article and video for an overview of the top three massage techniques I teach and use.
And I've been successful in teaching thousands of people how to treat their own Golfer's and Tennis Elbow online through my self-help programs over the past 10 years.
Or should I say "they've been successful in treating themselves?" since they're doing all the work!
Please check out my programs for Tennis and Golfer's Elbow and when you join I'll teach you those techniques, too!

State of the Franchise
State of the 2022 Buffalo Bills: Can Josh Allen and Co. push through to Super Bowl?
Adam Rank
NFL.com Writer
Where does your franchise stand heading into 2022? Adam Rank sets the table by providing a State of the Franchise look at all 32 teams, zeroing in on the key figures to watch and setting the stakes for the season to come.
2022 NFL season: Predicting each AFC team's non-QB MVP
Seven-round NFL mock draft, Round 1: Building a win-now team from active players for 2022 season
Members of the Bills organization, Bills fans around the world and those who know that the true fans are not the ones flying through the table like Tommy Dreamer, but the ones who convince other people to fly through the table like Tommy Dreamer:
This feels like one of the most highly anticipated seasons for the Bills since the 1990s, when they won four conference titles in a row -- a feat that has not been accomplished by anyone since. This year, many people have the Bills as the favorites to not only go to the Super Bowl, but win the whole thing. Can they do it? Let's take a look.
2021 rewind
One high from last season: Blowing out the Patriots in the Wild Card Round. There was that Monday Night Football loss to the Patriots in Week 13, and you could kind of tell the Bills' coaches and players were a bit embarrassed. While they evened the regular-season score in Week 16, going out and absolutely destroying the Patriots in the first round of the playoffs had to be extremely cathartic.
One low from last season: I mean, do we really need to talk about it? The approach I took with the Chargers' similarly deflating low applies here. Yes, that January postseason meeting with the Chiefs was a great game. Yes, it led to a rule change. That doesn't help, does it? Let's move on.
2022 VIPs
Head coach: Sean McDermott. I'm a big Sean McDermott guy. And nothing about what happened last season -- especially those fateful final 13 seconds in regulation in Kansas City -- will change that view. I was thinking at the time it would have been great for Tyler Bass to keep the ball in play on the kickoff after the Bills took a 36-33 lead, which would have forced the Chiefs to run off some clock -- or at least take a knee inside the 10-yard line. And Buffalo should've probably just tackled and held every Chiefs player on that first play from scrimmage; I'm not sure that is within the rules, but it's something I would have done. When you look at that Divisional Round heartbreaker and the regular-season loss to the Patriots -- New England threw three passes! -- you see the Bills getting beat by some NFL legends, Andy Reid and Bill Belichick. They are the two best in the league right now. I really do believe experience is a huge factor in NFL coaching, and McDermott, who is heading into Year 6 in Buffalo, is going to learn from last year and be even better this season.
I just saw Pro Football Focus labeled McDermott No. 16 in its 2022 head coach rankings, because while the defense is great, his teams aren't as good on offense. The Bills were third in the NFL in scoring offense last season. Just saying.
Quarterback: Josh Allen. You're all aware that I'm a weirdo, so I'll let you know that I've already completed one fantasy draft this season. That's right. I had the first overall pick and took ... Justin Herbert. I feel like I've made a big mistake. Allen had 42 total touchdowns in 2021 (36 throwing, six rushing), behind only Tom Brady (45). Allen became one of six quarterbacks in NFL history with at least 5,000 offensive yards and 42 touchdowns in one season. He also had seven games in which he rushed for at least 50 yards. But he's more than fantasy numbers.
Allen is one of the most clutch quarterbacks in the NFL. He led the league with a 70.8 completion percentage in the fourth quarter and overtime in the regular season last year. (I know it hurts thinking about what could have happened if the Bills had won that coin toss.) Allen also had 18 passing touchdowns on third and fourth down in 2021. That was tied for the most with Brady. So, I look ridiculous passing on him in fantasy. He's a better big-time quarterback than people give him credit for.
Projected 2022 MVP: Allen. Obviously one of the most important players in the league, he's also one of the front-runners for league MVP in 2022. Buffalo has recorded at least 10 wins in three consecutive seasons for the first time since those Super Bowl campaigns in the 1990s. The Bills are 11-1 against the AFC East since 2020 -- that's the kind of dominance we used to see from the Pats. Allen also had a 149.0 passer rating during the playoffs last year. It's all about Allen.
New face to know: Von Miller, defensive end. The Bills signed Miller to a six-year, $120 million contract this offseason. He leads the NFL with 115.5 sacks since 2011. He was acquired by the Rams (from the Broncos) via trade as a mercenary last season, and he dominated in the playoffs. So much so that, if I'm the Bills, I just let him take the first month of the season off and ease his way in. Could you imagine if he wins three Super Bowls with three different teams, after capturing titles in Denver and Los Angeles? Only former NFL linebacker Matt Millen has done it. Actually, Millen wasn't active for that Washington team in Super Bowl XXVI (though he did play the entire regular season for Joe Gibbs' squad), so Von could be the first to appear in and win three Super Bowl games with different teams.
2022 breakout star: Greg Rousseau, defensive end. The 2021 first-round pick made an immediate impact, notching four sacks in his rookie season (tied for second-most on the team). He was out there making big plays on the regular. Now he's on a line with Von Miller crashing in from the other side. Don't be shocked when he ends up with double-digit sacks in Year 2.
2022 roadmap
Three key dates:
Week 1 at Los Angeles Rams (NFL Kickoff Game). I know, I know. Possible Super Bowl preview. And it makes sense, because that would be a fantastic game. But this is the Bills' first appearance since last year's painful playoff exit. They need to make a huge statement. Buffalo did lose Week 1 against Pittsburgh last year; don't make that a trend.
Week 6 at Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills have to win this game. There can be no other outcome. Otherwise, doubt is going to start to creep in.
Week 17 at Cincinnati Bengals (Monday night). I mean, this should have been the AFC Championship Game last year. Let's go.
Will the Bills be able to ...
... find the answer at running back with James Cook? As a fantasy guru, it's always wild to me that as great as the Bills' offense has been in recent years, there really hasn't been a running back we can rely on. The Bills ranked sixth in the NFL in rushing last season, but a lot of that had to do with Josh Allen, who rushed for 6.3 yards per carry and six TDs on 122 attempts.
Devin Singletary was great down the stretch last season, logging 71.7 rushing yards per game and eight rushing touchdowns from Week 15 through the playoffs. But I love the drafting of Cook, who logged 1,012 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns for the national champion Georgia Bulldogs last year. Cook -- yes, the younger brother of Minnesota's Dalvin Cook -- was great as a receiver out of the backfield. He had 27 receptions for 284 yards and four receiving touchdowns for the Bulldogs in 2021. This is huge for a Bills team whose running backs ranked in the bottom 10 in both receptions and yards in 2021.
... continue to dominate on defense? Buffalo led the NFL in total defense, scoring defense and pass defense in 2021. The Bills' 30 takeaways were tied for third in the league. We talked about Miller. We talked about Rosseau. But there are plenty of other great pieces. Ed Oliver had four sacks and set career highs with 14 quarterback hits and 10 tackles for loss last season. Micah Hyde (74 tackles, five picks, 10 passes defensed) and Jordan Poyer (91 tackles, five picks, 10 passes defensed) earned PFF grades that placed them both among the top 10 safeties (of those with 100-plus snaps). Then there's cornerback Tre'Davious White, who's recovering from a torn ACL in Week 12 that cost him the remainder of the season. We still aren't 100 percent sure when White will return from his injury, but the Bills have plenty of talent to manage as he works his way back onto the field. One of my favorite picks in the draft was Florida cornerback Kaiir Elam, selected 23rd overall after the Bills traded up. I would expect him to beat out Dane Jackson for the spot opposite White, but both could end up playing if White still can't go early on.
One storyline ...
… people shouldn't overlook: Jamison Crowder might be the receiver to watch after Stefon Diggs. Listen, I love Gabe Davis. I was on the Gabe Davis train before many of you even knew who he was. (Not you, the Bills fan; I'm talking to the NFL casuals.) I was not shocked to see Davis compile a remarkable 10 catches for 242 yards and five touchdowns in two playoff games last season. The 23-year-old is undoubtedly set for a big Year 3. But don't forget about Crowder, a great low-key signing to replace Cole Beasley in the slot. In his three seasons with the Bills (2019-2021), Beasley ranked second in the NFL in slot targets (266), second in slot catches (194) and third in receiving yards from the slot (2,087), per Next Gen Stats. Crowder, who is four years younger than Beasley, ranked eighth or better among receivers in those categories in that same span, and he should be in line for a healthy workload, based on recent history. No receiver in the NFL has been targeted more than Diggs (329) in the two seasons since he joined the Bills, but the second-most-targeted player on the team by far in that span was Beasley.
… people shouldn't overthink: The loss of Brian Daboll. We might as well jump into this here. Daboll, who was the offensive coordinator in Buffalo over the past four seasons, exited to take the head-coaching job with the Giants this offseason. This could be a huge loss. There is no doubt Daboll had a major impact on developing Allen from a promising-but-raw rookie into the player he is today. The good news is, the Bills kept Ken Dorsey, who had been Allen's position coach since 2019, as Daboll's replacement. With Dorsey's promotion being more of a turn-key move than a total restart, Allen should continue to have the advantage of stability, and the Bills should be fine offensively.
For 2022 to be a success, the Bills MUST:
Win the Super Bowl. The Bills went 17 seasons without a playoff berth before Sean McDermott arrived. He ended that drought in his first season on the job. Now they've been to the playoffs in four of the past five seasons. They've been to the AFC title game. Everything has been leading up to this point. There are unlikely to be any more moral victories in Buffalo, no more feel-good moments coming from just making a run. For me, the Bills have to win the Super Bowl for this to feel like a success. Nothing else.

Q: jQuery multiple inputs with one Function RegExp I've got a form with more than 1 inputfields. The format that should be allowed is hh:mm / h:mm. So I already have a function, that checks my input if the format is true inbstandly on input.
So what I want is, if i click on my submit button i'd like to check all the boxes again if the format is right. If true then submit(); else then alert() or something. But that isnt the problmem.
I have no idea how i can realize this. Thank you in advance :))
function validateAbs(inputField) {

                var isValid = /^([0-1]?[0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9])(:[0-5][0-9])?$/.test(inputField.value);
                if (isValid) {
                    inputField.style.backgroundColor = '#bfa';
                } else {
                    inputField.style.backgroundColor = '#fba';
                }

                return isValid;
            }

            $(function(){
                $('#ist').on('input', function() {
                    //This is one of ne hh:mm Textboxes
                    validateAbs(this);
                });
             });

             $(function(){
                $('#abssubmit').on('input', function() {
                    //This is my Submit-Button
                });
             });

A: It's surprisingly easy:
$('#abssubmit').on('input', function() {
    $("selector-for-the-inputs-you-want-to-check").each(function() {
        validateAbs(this);
    });
});

If you want to know whether any of them is invalid, you can use filter:
$('#abssubmit').on('input', function() {
    var invalidFields = $("selector-for-the-inputs-you-want-to-check").filter(function() {
        return !validateAbs(this);
    });
    if (invalidFields.length) {
        // At least one field was invalid
    }
});

A: You will need to change to a submit handler not an 'input' handler:
$('#abssubmit').on('submit', function(ev) {
    var isValid;
    ev.preventDefault(); // to stop the form from submitting
    $('#ist').each(function() {
        if (!validateAbs(this)) isValid = false;
    });
    if (isValid) {
        this.submit(); // all the validations succeeded
    }
});
