During the past few years the match inspection system proved to be the catalyst in the performance management system. It was clear from the many opinions submitted by referees and other interested parties that a consistent match inspection system enhances the performance of the referees under observation. The constructive feedback inherent in the system has been praised by the best referees and made a difference in their performances over the course of the season.
However, the greatest obstacle to the full implementation of the system was the cost of the programme. The Secretariat responded by requesting additional funds from The League for the inspectors, appointing additional inspectors in local areas where Premier League teams play and requiring more accurate reporting from all inspectors. Unfortunately, a few areas in the system require immediate attention.
The inspection system utilised experienced referees to assess the performance of match officials for selected matches in the Premier League. Inspectors then used a standard form to rate the performance of referees in eight areas (personality, degree of difficulty, stoppages, advantage, linesmen, interpretation of the Laws, positioning movement and physical condition, overall control and authority. Each area was rated on a point scale of one through ten, with ten being the highest. The performance rating was then obtained from a simple average of the combined scores.
However, the simple averaging system was flawed in that it does not reflect the relative impact of each area on the match itself. For instance, personality and appearance were given the same weight as positioning and knowledge of the Laws of the Game. It was felt that faulty application of the Laws must be given more weight than the act of rolling up sleeves and socks since the two impact the flow and outcome of the match completely differently. We therefore moved immediately to a weighted averaging of the performance rating system.
The table above reflects the relative values placed on each activity during the course of the match. It gives more weight to the areas of activity that impact the most on the flow and the outcome of the match. It would also be important to have a system of automatic referrals for scores below a certain level. The critical minimum overall score is a matter for debate by the NRC. However, this guideline was set to allow for automatic referrals to Review and Disciplinary.
A quality assurance programme cannot be successful without the requisite reward system intended to institutionalise positive reinforcement. In this light, we must create a means by which we can provide some positive feedback to the referees in a systematic way. One method of doing so is to establish a monthly referees rating system that publicly recognises referees for their good performance. The accumulated points would automatically make them eligible for the Referee of the Year Award given at the Annual SAFA Awards Dinner. The referees with the best performance rating will then be awarded Referee of the Year prizes in the respective divisions.
The annual dinner could recognise referees on the three panels and award them for work in their division (2nd, 1st and Premier). We can then set up a panel comprised of journalists, NRC officials, sponsors and other luminaries and soccer watchers to decide on the Referee of the Year. This will have the effect of lifting morale among the referees, engage the media in a non-adversarial way and facilitate a positive means of feedback to the referees.
We can also ask the Provincial Affairs Department to ensure that amateur-level (regional and district) referees be recognised in the 25 SAFA Regions on an annual basis in order for us to select from the resulting group of top performers for posts to officiate in the higher divisions.

Ishura Volume 1 Review
In the 2021 edition of This Light Novel Is Amazing! guidebook, new series Ishura made a name for itself when it topped the tankobon, novel and new title categories with the most votes recorded in its history. Since then the series has made its way to the West thanks to Yen Press and I'm here to find out if it lives up to all the hype.
The series is set in a fantasy world where the Demon King is dead and powerful fighters from a variety of races are hoping to become the next True Hero, someone who will prove themselves capable of protecting the world from harm. Fifteen candidates are embroiled in a tournament-style death game, each hoping to come out on top and kill off a few of their fellow challengers on the way.
Usually, I would write two or three paragraphs outlining the plot, especially for a Volume 1 like this, but by and large, what I said above is all there is to this one. This 400-page book is split into two halves, one which has a chapter dedicated to introducing each of the characters and giving them a backstory and one which then starts slowly bringing them together.
Each character comes from a different race, including skeletons, wyverns, dragons and, just for good measure, a couple of humans isekai'd from Japan (there are humans native to this world too, so the distinction is important). They all have unique skills and powers at their disposal, which can vary from being interesting to super-overpowered like in the case of Kia the Elf who can control anything with words.
The second half of the book revolves around a war between the city of Auretia, which is home to humans known as Mitia and the city of Lithia, which is largely home to the Wyverns and a ruler who has declared themselves the new Demon Lord. Because of where each character starts, not all fifteen are involved heavily (or at all) in this storyline which works to its benefit since at this point it's already very difficult to keep track of who's who.
I wish author Keiso had taken their time introducing the characters rather than giving us ten straight chapters of it. This approach makes it very difficult to stay engaged with the story because there's no single protagonist and no familiarity to help the reader stay grounded. With the number of names and fantasy jargon thrown around, you won't come out of this having remembered half of the important stuff that Keiso hopes you will. The series was originally a web novel and I wager the problems I'm having here with the finished product would not be an issue there where you're reading a chapter a day/week or similar. It certainly hasn't transitioned well.
It's such a shame that this series gets off on the wrong foot because the second half shows that Keiso has a good idea here. Battle scenes are easy to follow and the characters are distinct enough that even in the middle of a fight it's easy to picture who's where and doing what. Despite the intimidating page count, it's not that bad in terms of the word count per page, and beyond the fantasy terms, it's not difficult vocabulary to skim through quickly. If the second half had been the starting point rather than the tedious content we get, I imagine I'd have come away from it having enjoyed it a lot more.
It's frustrating because there's something good here that Keiso will hopefully capitalise on, going forward. When the series won the top rankings in This Light Novel is Amazing! it already had a couple of volumes available, so it's likely the audience was fond of it for the later instalments and not just based on this one. This at least gives me some confidence it will improve and I do own Volume 2 already, so I'm sure I'll get to that and find out soon.
Ishura comes to the West thanks to Yen Press and has been translated by David Musto. The translation reads well with no issues to note. This release includes colour pages which are illustrated by Kureta (The Otherworlder, Exploring the Dungeon; Demon Lord 2099) and depicts some but not all of the large cast. The black-and-white illustrations throughout the book capture more of the characters and also focus on some of the action scenes but, by and large, there is a real lack of images compared to the page count which is a shame.
The series is ongoing in Japan with five volumes, while in English Yen Press has released Volume 2 already with #3 scheduled for March 21st. Although there doesn't appear to be any scheduled beyond that, so I suspect it'll be taking a bit of a break.
Overall, Ishura gets off to a frustrating start as there are good ideas here but I imagine most readers will be put off by reading 200 pages of introductions before they even get there. If you do stick with it, I'd be surprised if it didn't prove a rewarding read, but that's certainly not an easy ask for a series with books this thick. A possible avoid if you're not that convinced by the premise.

Police Seek Leads in Shooting That Left 5 Homeless Dead
LONG BEACH, Calif. – The crime scene, alongside a busy freeway off-ramp, was shielded from view by dense brush and tangled tree limbs.
The victims — five people shot to death over the weekend at a spot inhabited by the homeless — were known largely by their nicknames or just their first names.
And Southern California's first significant rain of the season may have washed away evidence.
Police in Long Beach are confronted with a baffling murder mystery.
"There is still a demon out there killing innocent people," said Don Morgan, 58, who was friends with the victims. "Satan was here that day."
Three men and two women were found slain Sunday in the seedy neighborhood of warehouses and apartment buildings near the intersection of two freeways. Some of the victims had been shot more than once.
An anonymous tipster called from a pay phone Sunday morning and directed police to the scene. But even the time of the attack is in dispute: Some neighbors reported hearing gunfire, yelling and a car speeding off just after midnight, while the coroner said the crime occurred sometime Saturday afternoon or evening.
Police said Monday that they had no eyewitnesses and no suspects and had yet to establish a motive for the slayings. But neighbors said people would often drop by to do drugs in the shadows underneath the freeway.
Investigators spent 12 hours collecting evidence, removing dozens of bags of trash and belongings from the spot in hopes of finding clues. And they issued a plea for the anonymous caller to come forward in the hope that he had more information.
Gang graffiti was sprayed along a freeway bridge near the crime scene, and a drainage channel appeared to be the only way in and out of the spot.
"We have a tremendous amount of foliage out there," Police Chief Anthony W. Batts said. "It's very tough getting into."
Authorities identified two of the victims as Vanessa Malaepule, 34, and Lorenzo Perez Villicana, 44. The others' names were withheld until their families could be notified. Police said they had not determined how many of the victims were homeless.
Morgan said he knew the victims only by their first names or nicknames — LV, Vanessa, Cat, Sammy and Fred. They liked to come to the site to party, he said.
Relatives of Malaepule said she was the mother of six children and was not homeless but liked to hang out at the spot. They said they did not know why.
Her uncle Ilager McMoore said police told him that his niece was found beneath the body of her boyfriend, as though he had tried to shield her from the gunfire. McMoore said he suspects the boyfriend may have been involved in a gang dispute.
Tippi Briggs, a nearby resident, said she had seen an increase in what she suspected was drug activity in the area. "You see people drive up in their nice cars, go in there, then come out after a couple of minutes," she said. "Some are stumbling."
She also said the area had been plagued in recent weeks by a rash of home and car break-ins.
Elsa Neal, who manages an apartment complex close to the scene, said the area was frequented by homeless people and by those who apparently hung out to do drugs. She said the homeless people would sometimes stop by to ask to use her water to clean their cooking utensils and were always polite.
About 10 relatives of Malaepule assembled a shrine on a tattered piece of old carpet, placing a smiling photograph of her atop a bunch of yellow and white flowers. One of her children sprinkled petals around lit candles.
The impromptu memorial was interrupted by a California Highway Patrol officer who told the family they were too close to the freeway and needed to move along.

Trump kicks off NFL season with fresh attack on players' protest
Patrick Smith Twitter Sep 9, 2018, 2:09 pm
CHARLOTTE, NC - NOVEMBER 13: Miami Dolphins players kneel during the national anthem before their game against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on November 13, 2017 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images)
It's the first Sunday of the new NFL season, and President Trump wasted no time indulging in one of his favorite hobbies: attacking the league over players protesting police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem.
In a tweet sent out Sunday morning, Trump tried to make a connection between a year-over-year decline in ratings of the league's Thursday night opening game and players who protest.
Wow, NFL first game ratings are way down over an already really bad last year comparison. Viewership declined 13%, the lowest in over a decade. If the players stood proudly for our Flag and Anthem, and it is all shown on broadcast, maybe ratings could come back? Otherwise worse!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 9, 2018
But as former player Donte' Stallworth noted in his response to Trump, ratings are down for multiple sports leagues, not just professional football. There have also been declines for television programming in general, he pointed out. So Trump's comparison isn't quite making the point he thinks it is.
TV ratings are down across all five of the major networks, not just the NFL. But don't let that simple fact get in the way of your propaganda, Mad King. https://t.co/pLtU3xUr2t
— Donté Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) September 9, 2018
The president's criticism comes in the wake of Nike's decision to make quarterback Colin Kaepernick the face of its new campaign. Kaepernick, who was the first player to take a knee in protest of police brutality, hasn't played in the league since 2016 but remains a big presence in the football world.
Trump has frequently targeted players who protest. Last year, in a not-so-subtle reference to Kaepernick, he infamously said a player who protests is a "son of a bitch." The epithet not only was met with condemnation from across the league, but it sparked more players to join the protest. With his latest tweet, Trump is indicating that he's ready to escalate this culture war even further.
The NFL's handling of the situation has been awkward, to say the least. Earlier this year, league owners met devise new rules to stop players from protesting, only to suspend the rules after widespread disapproval. Now, the league says that it won't implement any policy on protesting during the anthem at all.
If the league is really looking for a solution, perhaps officials should listen to Washington defensive back Josh Norman. His advice? "I wouldn't tell them to do a fucking thing. This guy is going to be out of office in two years. I think we'll be OK."
In any case, players don't seem to be intimidated by either Trump or league officials, as the protests continued on Sunday.
Miami Dolphins wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson became the first players of the 2018 regular season to kneel in protest during the national anthem.
Dolphins defensive end Robert Quinn also raised a fist. https://t.co/mkEY8ZxQxd

07/11/2019 Comments Off on Porsche stands by NA engines, manual transmission
Amidst the increasing hype on electric cars, here's one bit of news for petrolheads to cheer on. Porsche GT's boss Andreas Preuninger has revealed that the manual gearbox and naturally-aspirated engines have a strong future that will last for at least another decade, Which Car reports. Preuninger added companies that are moving away from those technologies are making a blunder.
"I think we have an advantage in the market over the competition because everybody has skipped and deleted the atmospheric engine and deleted even the manual gearbox. That's a mistake! Because if you look at the take rates on the GT model side, in some markets half of the cars are manual and everybody is longing for a car like this with a normally aspirated, high revving engine," he said.
"It's not an A-to-B means of transportation. It's something you do for yourself, it's something you do for pleasure and in that case it's a healthy car, it's like medicine because everybody is grinning and that's healthy."
Having said that, Preuninger is also excited about the new Porsche Taycan, the brand's first pure electric car. He believes that the advent of EVs does not necessarily mean the end of performance cars as we know them.
"I'm sure there will be a lot of garages where a Taycan is parked next to a 911 GT3 RS and it's no contradiction. The good thing that we decided to do is not to neglect one for the other," he explained.
One of the biggest pushes in EV development is emissions laws, and that's what Preuninger thinks will determine the power outputs of Porsche GT cars in the future, not mechanical limitations. He's also aware of the shortcomings of electric vehicles when it comes to delivering the sense of analogue connection, which is something Porsche GT cars are known for.
"I think everybody takes notice and understands that we have to help on the automotive side to get emissions down, and I think for a car that's used mainly in the city, in the big urban areas and isn't used for the long-halls, then an electric car is perfect. It's great!"
"But the expectation might not be that it's a thing I have the urge to drive just for the sake of driving. For that hobby instrument, we want GT cars to be alive as long as possible."
"I think they'll be asking for that type of car [GT models] in 10 years as well, why should they change their mind overnight? And it's a big customer base and we have to look after everybody, from the younger ones to the older ones to the hardcore enthusiasts as well," Preuninger remarked. So far, Porsche's GT team has no plans to fettle with the Taycan.
"No. We're in different departments with different missions. We have good contact, we're a relatively small company still and we talk a lot and we share our experiences and most of the people who work at Porsche are absolute car nuts. So we exchange cars with the Taycan team, but we're not involved in any electric approach or project right now." This is some real good news, yes?

I often see software projects which don't hit their objectives. They leave business leaders and stakeholders with a bitter taste in their mouth because they are expensive, and seem to deliver slower than they had hoped. This erodes their ability to get to market fast and leaves the doors wide open for their competition. Becoming a software business is not about 'creating an app'. This type of thinking is exactly what causes problems. Instead a better approach is for a business to remove themselves from details and think about the process of 'how' they go about solving problems. They should become skilled at a generic approach to solving problems using software as one way to do this. This is at the heart of innovation. Becoming a software business is about how you refine the process of developing software solutions not about how you develop the software in the first place. Let's discover a 5 step strategy which you can use to drive new software projects.
Take a step back and consider what your vision is. A vision statement is something that the highest level executive or team of executives must take the time to create. This is no more complex than being able to state it in one or two sentences. But the point is to make sure that the language and the feeling behind what you are doing is crystal clear.
easiest to use mobile provider of x service' 'most engaging digital marketplace for xyz product' 'fastest intelligence on your xyz competitors' The original vision statements actually started life as much more complex and wordy. But the thing I do with exec teams/stakeholders is to work to simplify them as much as possible.
Software projects can do 3 types of goal. They can make money. They can save money. Or they can achieve some business objective. It's important to identify which types of objectives your proposed software will solve. Often your proposed digital project will actually be a hybrid and be doing more than one of the aforementioned 3 types. If this is the case then we will be looking at turning goals into milestones in step 3 – so read on!
However when starting a new venture you can just try and solve one single goal first. This goal should be specific and should contain some quantative metrics. Many people get confused between vision and goals. Goals should be quantitive. For example; a while ago I consulted with a bricks and mortar establishment who wanted to create some software. It would help them achieve the vision of becoming the UKs number 1 digitally enhanced provider in their field. This would result in them 'making' more money however we needed to identify a single clear goal that they would develop their MVP around. We came up with this… 'Company x's goal is to increase the amount of new engagements by x and to be able to finish and bill for y amount serviced jobs, this should be done in z timeframe from project launch'.
For large projects with multiple programmes of work having a single goal might not be enough. When there are different groups of stakeholders with different goals then the goals need to be separated out. This should be done so that each goal closely aligns to the objective of each group. It's important to understand that large complex software builds will often be brimming with feature requests which come from all over the business. But these feature requests are often queued up into the software team in an ad-hoc manner. Often with the HIPPO's (Highest Paid Person Opinion) ideas coming first.
one strategic goal at any one time. If they don't they will loose focus.
The next part of the process is the most fun. On a couple of engagements I have been trying to find a way to help new projects identify impacts and behaviours. I have been trying out a technique called impact mapping which comes from the field of 'design thinking'. In a nutshell the basic idea is that you will identify actors and their behaviours. Firstly,* **actors* are all the people that are involved in your process that can influence the entire project somehow. They can be users, stakeholders, early adopters, influencers, marketers and even developers. Secondly, behaviours are all the things that the actors need to do in order to help your project reach it's goal. These are linked to each actor because we are trying to uncover how their behaviour must change to move us towards our strategic goal.
Getting clear on actors and behaviours is extremely important because it helps us reduce cost and increase the chance that the delivery holds business value. The impact mapping session helps us identify who the software needs to cater for and why. By going through the process we can often realise that we don't need to cater for some actors and some behaviours because they are not helping us reach our specific business goal. By taking the exec team through the process and making them think about this; they will often gladly drop requests because they realise that the request doesn't closely fit their objectives. Sometimes getting people to let go of ideas is a brilliant way to increase chances of success; because it means we have whittled away 'possible' ideas into more 'probable' ones.
Finally the most important step! Somewhere in the planning and strategising of a new software project a rough financial plan should be made. This is as important for start-ups as it is for corporates. It simply means plotting out the length of time for the project along with some variables such as, new subscribers, lost subscribers, cash burn rate, revenue and profit. He is an example financial model built in excel which is for SASS business to make a financial plan.
Having a financial plan made after you have created quantitive milestones is great so that you can track and project future success!


But, according to SEScoops, there was one night too many of booze, yelling, and revelry, and Paige and Del Rio are done...for now.
There is not a more volatile couple in wrestling than Paige and Alberto Del Rio. WWE suspended the both of them for repeatedly failing drug tests. Del Rio eventually quit the company and began wrestling for Impact and other promotions. But Del Rio and Paige have become known less for their wrestling and more for their booze-fueled rants against WWE and the "haters" of their relationship. Del Rio has said some things that could ruin Paige's return with the company, but she was committed to her man. They even have allegedly married.
But, according to SEScoops, there was one night too many of booze, yelling, and revelry. Paige and Del Rio parted ways. For now.
The couple was vacationing in Orlando and had a blowup that resulted in Alberto calling off their relationship. According to a source close to both of them who was present when it all went down, most of Alberto's friends and family are glad he pulled the plug.
Now, this is just a report, but SEScoops has been a somewhat reliable source in the past. We also have no idea if this will last. Knowing Paige and Del Rio's history, there's reason to believe they'll be back together slobbering all over each other in public soon.
But due to the nature of wrestling, there's plenty of reason to doubt this. The rumor mill in the wrestling world is spinning and riddled with misinformation. That is by design. Wrestling is designed with obfuscation, misdirection, and outright lies. It is a carnival trick that grew beyond the big tent and moved into big arenas and onto televisions. It is a business built on lies and understanding. Wrestlers and promoters lie to us. Fans understand this and know about the lies. And wrestling knows that we know. And so on and so forth.
Because of that, there is not a traditional journalistic structure around wrestling like there is in any other sport or interest group as large and as popular as wrestling is. The best we have are these "dirt sheets" which themselves are in on it in a way. Their job is to sell subscriptions and generate clicks. For that to work, they have to mine for rumor and innuendo whenever they can. Listen to a Wrestling Observer Radio episode, and you'll hear hours of hedging and speculation with just a little actual news sprinkled in. Everything is controlled and held close. WWE leaks out a surprise every once in a while. But if they want something to be a secret, it'll remain a secret.
In wrestling, there's no chain of confirmation. There's not someone to call and go on the record. We just have to guess and trust. That's why we see so many rumors, guesses, and hoaxes.
So, all that being said, is this rumor true? Maybe. There's probably a kernel of truth in it.
We don't like the dive into personal stories unless they have an actual bearing on the business end of professional wrestling, but for those who have asked, we are told that rumors of the Alberto el Patron-Paige relationship ending are incorrect, according to sources close to the couple who reached out to PWInsider.com.
Should Paige and Del Rio not be together? That isn't for us to say. But as an outside observer, this seems like an unhealthy relationship between two people who may need some help with substance abuse.
Regardless, we will keep you updated. But remember. Rumors are just that, rumors. And the second you think you aren't getting "worked" in wrestling is when they have you.

Coral Sea (CVE-57) was renamed ANZIO 15 September 1944.
Coral Sea (CV-42) was renamed Franklin D. Roosevelt 8 May 1945.
Coral Sea sailed from Norfolk 7 June 1948 for a midshipmen cruise to the Mediterranean and Caribbean, and returned to Norfolk 11 August. After overhaul and training in the Caribbean, she sailed 3 May 1949 for her first tour of duty in the Mediter ranean with the 6th Fleet, returning 28 September. She returned to the Mediterranean for duty from 9 September 1950 to 1 February 1951, bringing her impressive strength to the 6th Fleet in its important role as guardian of peace in the Mediterranean.
An overhaul and local operations upon her return, as well as training with Air Group 17, prepared her for a return to the Mediterranean once more on 20 March 1951. As flagship for Commander, Carrier Division 6, she took part in a North Atlantic Treaty O rganization exercise "Beehive I." She returned to Norfolk 6 October for local and Caribbean operations, next sailing for the Mediterranean 19 April 1952. While on service with the 6th Fleet, she visited Yugoslavia, and carried Marshall Tito on a one-day cruise to observe carrier operations. reclassified CVA-43 on 1 October 1952, she returned to Norfolk for overhaul 12 October.
Coral Sea trained pilots in carrier operations off the Virginia Capes and Mayport, Fla., and in April 1953 she embarked the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives for a 3-day cruise. On 26 April, the carrier sailed for a tour of duty in the Mediterranean. This cruise was highlighted by a visit to Spain, and participation in NATO exercise "Black Wave" with Deputy Secretary of Defense R. M. Kyes on board as an observer. Returning to Norfolk 21 October, she carried out tests for the B ureau of Aeronautics and trained members of the Naval Reserve at Mayport, Fla., and Guantanamo Bay.
Coral Sea returned to the Mediterranean from 7 July to 20 December 1954, and during this tour was visited by Generalissimo Franco as she lay off Valencia, Spain. On her next tour of duty in the Mediterranean from 23 March to 29 September 1955, sh e called at Istanbul, and participated in NATO exercises.
Sailing from Norfolk 23 July 1956 for Mayport to embark Carrier Air Group 10, Coral Sea continued on to the Mediterranean on her next tour. She participated in NATO exercises, and received the King and Queen of Greece on board as visitors in Octo ber. During the Suez Crisis, she evacuated American citizens from the troubled area, and stood by off Egypt until November. She returned to Norfolk 11 February 1957. She cleared that port on 26 February and visited Santos, Brazil; Valparaiso, Chile; an d Balboa, C.Z., before arriving at Bremerton, Washington, 15 April. Coral Sea was decommissioned for conversion 24 May 1957, and upon completion was recommissioned 25 January 1960 to rejoin the Fleet. During September 1960, she conducted training with her new air group along the west coast, then sailed in September for a tour of duty with the 7th Fleet in the Far East.

SpaceIL Project To Land First Israeli Spacecraft on the Moon
By admin December 16, 2018 1589 views
SpaceIL recently announced that Canadian billionaire and businessmanSylvan Adams, who brought the Giro d'Italia Big Start cycling race to Israel this year, joined the project to land the first Israeli spacecraft on the moon and contributed$5 million to the organization.
Adams announced his contribution as part of a special tour that took place at the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI)'sMBT Space facility in Yehud, where the spacecraft is being assembled. Also attending the tour were SpaceIL's President Morris Kahn; SpaceIL CEO Dr. Ido Anteby; and other senior IAI officials.
Adams, who is celebrating his 60th birthday, said at the event that "this contribution to strengthening the Israeli space program, and encouraging education for excellence and innovation among the younger generation in Israel, is the best gift I could have asked for."
Adams added: "I believe that sending the first Israeli spacecraft to the moon will inspire Israeli school children to take up STEM studies and think about space exploration, and especially to believe that everything is possible."
Since SpaceIL's establishment, the mission of landing an Israeli spacecraft on the moon has become a national project embodying educational values. Adams joins a group of donors who have contributed to the project, including Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, Sammy Sagol, Lynn Schusterman, Steven Grand and others.
Kahn, a businessman and philanthropist, took it upon himself to lead this project and bring it to its completion, donating$27 million and serving as the project's president. He regards its completion as his personal mission.
"I want to thank Sylvan Adams for his generous contribution to our effort," Kahn said. "He joins an amazing group of donors with a common vision: to land the first Israeli space craft on the moon. We are in the final stretch, and I believe that his joining will help us raise the remaining money to complete our ambitious mission."
"We are in the final stretch before the launch and preparations are at full power," Anteby said. "The teams of SpaceIL and IAI are making great progress in a series of tests and trials being carried out at IAI's space facility. At the same time, we are stepping up activities to promote scientific and technological education in the State of Israel, ahead of launch. We thank Mr. Sylvan Adams for his contribution."
IAI's Vice President of Space Operations, Inbal Krayes, who also took part in the tour, said: "IAI is proud to partner with SpaceIL in the development and construction of the spacecraft. It is a tremendous technological achievement that constitutes a significant part of the civilian space capabilities in Israel, whose significance will inspire future generations and encourage them to choose to study technology and science."
In October, SpaceIL and the IsraeliSpace Agency announced a collaboration with NASA that would enable SpaceIL to improve its ability to track and communicate with the spacecraft before, during, and after landing on the moon.
IAI, which is the home of Israel's space activity, has been a full partner in this project from its inception. Over the years, additional partners from Israel's private sector, the Israeli government and from academia have joined as well. The most prominent among these are the WeizmannInstitute of Science; Israel Space Agency; the Ministry of Science, Technology andSpace; the Israeli telecom firm Bezeq, and others.
SpaceIL was the only Israeli contestant in the international Google Lunar XPRIZE competition. To win the first prize of$20 million, the participants were required to land an unmanned spacecraft on the moon. The competition ended officially with no winner on March 31, when Google announced that it would no longer sponsor the competition.
After succeeding in raising the critical funds to continue its activity, SpaceIL announced that it was determined to continue on its mission and to launch its spacecraft, regardless of the competition. Concurrently, the non-profit is continuing its efforts to raise the funds necessary to complete this mission.
SpaceIL aims to set in motion an"Apollo effect" in Israel: To encourage the next generation of Israeli children to choose to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM);to change their perception of these subjects; to generate a sense of capability; and to allow them to dream big dreams even in a small country. The non-profit aims to change the discourse in Israel and to encourage boys and girls to regard science, engineering, technology and math as exciting opportunities for their future. In recent years, SpaceIL has ignited the imagination of about 900,000 children nationwide, with the help of a broad network of volunteers.

Spanilá mlynářka je komická opera o dvou dějstvích českého skladatele Josefa Kličky. Libreto k ní napsal Josef Otakar Veselý a upravil Václav Juda Novotný podle komedie-vaudevillu francouzských dramatiků Mélesvilla (vl. jm. Anne-Honoré-Joseph Duveyrier) a Charlese Duveyriera Mlynářka z Marly z roku 1843. Kličkova Spanilá mlynářka měla premiéru dne 10. června 1886 v pražském Národním divadle.

Vznik a charakteristika
Skladatel Josef Klička studoval na Pražské konzervatoři i varhanické škole a roku 1874 spoluzakládal Kruh mladých hudebníků. Již za studií v první polovině 70. let 19. století hrál v orchestru Prozatímního divadla, v letech 1876 až 1878 byl kapelníkem divadelní společnosti Pavla Švandy se Semčic a v letech 1878 až 1881 druhým kapelníkem Prozatímního divadla. V této době – podle Václava Vladimíra Zeleného přibližně v roce 1878, i když jiné prameny udávají až rok 1884 – také zkomponoval svou jedinou operu. Podkladem pro ni byla francouzská veselohra, kterou přinejmenším od roku 1876 již pod názvem Spanilá mlynářka hrála právě Švandova divadelní společnost v pražské Národní aréně. Na libreto ji přepracoval mladý – a předčasně zesnulý – spisovatel Josef Otakar Veselý (1853–1879), známý jako libretista Dvořákova Šelmy sedláka. Kličkova opera však byla uvedena až v Národním divadle na sklonku sezóny 1885/1886, přičemž jméno libretisty bylo na plakátech zamlčeno, i když recenzentům bylo známo. Při premiéře byl prý "zevnější úspěch […] skvělý", skladatel byl "nejméně desetkráte bouřlivě vyvolán".

Skladatel a kritik J. B. Foerster ve své recenzi v Národních listech napsal: "Do bližšího posuzování libreta nemáme chuti. Spanilá mlynářka jest jen novým dokladem žalostného úpadku." Zatímco Foerster odsuzoval již fraškovitý francouzský námět, Karel Stecker v Daliboru jej považoval za zásadně vhodný pro (standardní) komickou operu, vadila mu však libretistova "mluva, místy trochu dětinská, druhdy až přes míru naivní. […] Čeho dovolovali sobě naši librettisté před lety, dnes nám, našemu vkusu a požadavkům našeho obecenstva nemůže postačiti…" V. V. Zelený v Osvětě litoval, že libreto – oproti dobové praxi – nebylo vytištěno, i když "se pohříchu i tentokráte mohlo rádo chrániti před zraky zblízka pozorujícími".

Nejen kvůli námětu z francouzské veselohry vybízela Spanilá mlynářka k porovnání s Kovařovicovou operní aktovkou Cesta oknem, uvedenou v Národním divadle jen o několik měsíců dříve (i když paralely se daly hledat také se Smetanovými Dvěma vdovami). Stejně jako u Kovařovice recenze i u Kličky objevovaly francouzské vzory: "Nejsilnější vliv měli na skladatele zejména Smetana, Dvořák, Gounod a Thomas. Škola francouzská zdá se býti oblíbenou, v lecčem ji skladatel následoval, ne ve svůj prospěch," psal J. B. Foerster. Podobně V. V. Zelenému se zdálo, že "Kličkův lyrismus má v krvi něco francouzského". Anonymní recenzent deníku Politik zmiňoval "rossiniovsko-auberovský a smetanovský humor". Vliv Smetany, zejména Dalibora, vyzdvihoval Karel Stecker a V. V. Zelený shledával ve Spanilé mlynářce ještě starší, předsmetanovské rysy, poukazuje na Leopolda Měchuru. I když tedy recenzenti poukazovali na to, že se v případě Spanilé mlynářky nejedná o nijak revoluční hudbu, nezastávali vesměs pozdější mínění Zdeňka Nejedlého, podle něhož byla tato opera "ve faktuře tak ctihodně staromódní, že musela vyhovět i nejzaostalejšímu posluchači". Nedostatek samostatného, na vzorech nezávislého stylu vytýkali Spanilé mlynářce všichni recenzenti, kteří se jinak shodovali na přednostech díla co do melodiky, harmonizace a charakterizace postav.

Rozsáhlá třídílná předehra byla jako taková chválena – "ve příčině harmonické a kontrapunktické honosí se […] všemi přednostmi skladeb Kličkových" (K. Stecker), ale v poměru opeře samotné byla kritizována její délka. Svorně recenzenti zpochybňovali dramaticky nelogické, zřejmě množstvím hudebního materiálu způsobené, rozdělení původní veseloherní aktovky na dvě dějství, a doporučovali skladateli operu mírně zkrátit a stáhnout obě dějství zpět do jednoho. Nečetné sbory (úvodní, lovecký za scénou a závěrečný) recenzenti nepovažovali za zvláště výrazné – podle J. B. Foerstera měly "silně konvencionelní ráz". Pochvaly se zato dočkala lyrická místa, jako mlynářčina árie Píše mi, co nelze říci, její dvojzpěv se stárkem Láska nad vše dražší, mlynářčin zpěv Kéž bych smělosť měla otázku mu dát aj. Recitativní dialogy se však prohřešovaly proti správné deklamaci a podle V. V. Zeleného zde skladatel "musí ještě učiniti podstatný krok". Obdivována byla Kličkova "obratná, originellní a effektní" instrumentace – "orkestr […] zvučí neobyčejně jadrně a barvitě," psal V. V. Zelený. Avšak Karel Stecker upozorňoval na to, že Klička "v nadšení vedl si začasté příliš horlivě, instrumentoval místy příliš sytě, příliš přizvučně a energicky, ano jeví se někdy instrumentace tak přes míru bohatou, až v přepych nádhernou, že vtírá se nám pak proti nadání myšlénka, zdaliž také srovnává se ten orchestrový luxus s těmi kterými situacemi a celým podkladem jednoaktové […] komické opery?" I J. B. Foerster vytýkal: "Klička pracuje, ačkoliv je opera komickou, téměř stále celým aparátem velké opery; průhlednost a jednoduchost francouzských partitur je důležitou jejich předností."

Recenzenti rovněž shodně oceňovali vkusnost a ušlechtilost Kličkovy hudby, avšak lišili se v názoru, nakolik byla přiléhavá námětu a libretu. Stecker o ní soudil, že je "v komických situacích [plná] zdravého humoru, jenž však přitom vždy dovede se udržeti ve slušné míře, v jisté uctivé distanci od trivialnosti a přepjatosti"; oceňoval, že i komickou postavu markýze skladatel nepojal jako "figuru operetně fraškovitou à la Offenbach". J. B. Foerster v tomto přístupu shledával zásadní slabinu díla: "Rozmarný tón veseloherní jest místem zachycen, avšak lyrické scény a veškerá místa poněkud vážnější přecházejí v pathos tragické opery. Jelikož toho druhu scény v libretě převládají a skladatel, nevíme zda náhodou či zúmyslně, z komické figury Gaillardovy učinil v hudbě vážnou, zbývá vlastnímu komickému živlu málo místa." Foerster, Zelený i recenzent Politik naznačovali, že Kličkův talent směřuje k hudbě lyrické a vážné, nikoli komické.

Přes povzbuzující přijetí kritikou a podle recenzí i slušný úspěch u obecenstva se Spanilá mlynářka se hrála pouze dvakrát (10. a 13. června 1886). I přes výtky, které kvůli tomu činil ředitelství divadla odborný hudební tisk, poté zapadla navždy do archivu, i když skladatel alespoň někdy uváděl její části, zejména předehru, koncertně. Klička, který již od roku 1885 vyučoval varhanní hru na Pražské konzervatoři, se pak věnoval především tvorbě pro varhany a k jevištní tvorbě se nevrátil.

Osoby a první obsazení

Jednání I.
Záletný markýz z Gaillardier vzplál v pokročilém věku mladistvou vášní ke krásné nájemnici svého mlýna, Růženě, kterou ostatně oblétají i jeho úředníci. Ba pověst o její spanilosti a vtipnosti pronikla až k samému dvoru. Růžena však nijak nezpyšněla projevy přízně prokazovanými jí panem markýzem, protože má ráda práška Jeníka, sirotka, kterého se před lety byl ujal mlynář a s nímž Růžena byla vychována. Jeník miluje ovšem spanilou družku z mládí též z celé duše a žárlí na všecky, kdož jí projevují svou přízeň, avšak vyznati svou lásku si netroufá, boje se odbytí. O náklonnosti manželově dověděla se také markýza, mnohem mladší svého muže, takže želí, že si pro něj zkazila své mládí; ale přece žárlí naň a jde se sama do mlýna přesvědčiti, nepřehání-li pověst vynášející spanilost Růženinu, a jest dívkou okouzlena. Po jejím odchodu Růžena se snaží přiměti Jeníka k milostnému vyznání, ale všechny snahy její troskotají o jeho nechápavost a nesmělost, kterou mu dívka po zásluze vyčte ve chvíli, kdy nový pokus o získání jí podniká markýz. Aby nechápavého mladíka povzbudila, Růžena si tentokrát vede volněji a přiměje tím rozlítostněného práška, že se odhodlá dáti se na vojnu. Jeho nepřítomnost povzbuzuje markýza k smělejším útokům, jimž Růžena uniká útěkem, ačkoli nemůže zabrániti, aby jí neposlal milostného psaníčka a v něm skvělého daru na penězích.

Jednání II.
Jako poslíčka lásky markýz použil právě Jeníka, který splnil svou hrozbu, dal se v městě najmouti za vojáka, více si přihnul a vrávoravě se vrací do mlýna k malé radosti spanilé mlynářky, cítící se listem markýzovým a zvláště jeho peněžitou nabídkou hluboce uraženou. než také Jeník se tentokrát vzpružil. Když zvěděl od Růženy, oč běží, rázem vystřízliví ze svého opojení, opíše lístek markýzův a zasílá jej i s penězi do zámku – paní markýze. Ta trne nad smělostí chasníkovou a jde se s ním vypořádat do mlýna; setkává se však s Růženou, ukazující jí originál – markýzův! To žádá pomsty, kterou umlouvá s Růženou v okamžiku, když vchází markýz, mající po ruce výmluvu, že si jde pro nájemné. Po odchodu obou Růžena dává sama najevo Jeníkovi svou lásku a přiměje jinocha k projevům šílené radosti. Jest nyní třeba zhostiti se vznešeného soupeře, jenž spoléhaje se, že milostný dopis došel sluchu, dává svými myslivci přinésti nejvybranější jídla a vína do mlýna, kdež si dal dostaveníčko s Růženkou. Jakmile však vkročí do mlýnice, Jeník vyskočí z úkrytu, zamkne za markýzem dveře a pochutnává si pak s Růženkou na připravených lahůdkách. Markýz uvnitř zuří a slibuje pomstu, nebude-li ihned puštěn. Zatím dostavila se před dveře mlýnice – markýza. Jeník otvírá dveře a šlechtic přistižený manželkou na záletech jest nucen volky nevolky odpustiti Jeníkovi, propustiti jej z vojny a prominouti mu do smrti nájemné z mlýna, vezme-li si – Růženu. Lze si představiti radost ve mlýně z tohoto rozuzlení situace.

Alex Roelofs (14 december 1950) is medeoprichter van de in 1974 opgerichte Amsterdamse groep de Nits.

In 1980 verliet Roelofs de Nits om diverse redenen (reizen, gezondheid) en startte zijn eigen opnamestudio, PPM Studio in Amsterdam. In deze studio werd een aantal platen en demo's opgenomen, waaronder diverse van Blue Murder en Loïs Lane. Van de laatste groep viel vooral het nummer "Amsterdamned" op, dat later werd gebruikt bij de gelijknamige film van Dick Maas. Deze track werd opnieuw opgenomen in de Wisseloord Studio's.

In 1989 kwam er een solo-cd uit: A.L.X: Tenderness of Cranes. De cd werd vooral in het Verenigd Koninkrijk goed verkocht, in Nederland bleef het een verzamelaarsobject. In 2009 verscheen de cd The Odd Men Out (on the Poppy Parade), die werd gemaakt tezamen met Michiel Peters (ook ex-Nits). Van deze cd was de beperkte oplage uitsluitend via speciale kanalen te verkrijgen.

Sinds 2008 houdt Roelofs zich bezig met trainingen voor persoonlijke ontwikkeling (onder meer NLP), oplossingsgericht werken en systemisch werk.

Shootout in Jersey City leaves six dead
Ellie Brouwer, Staff Writer
4 people, 3 civilians and one police officer, died during a long standoff on Tuesday, December 10th. The two suspects that took apart in this crime were also killed. The fallen officer was Detective Joseph Seals. Joseph Seals was a 39-year-old father of five who joined the Police department in 2006. Seals was a 15 year veteran of the Jersey City police department. Seals was believed to have been ambushed. Two other officers and one civilian were shot and in listed in stable condition following the shooting.
The shooting began at 12:30 p.m. and it brought in neighboring reinforcements, such as the NYPD. Surrounding areas and schools went into lockdown. Reports of the shooting occurred in the area of Martin Luther King Drive in Jersey City. Wild gunfire and loud sirens were heard when armed officers moved into the area of the bodega where the suspects had barricaded themselves. By 2:00 pm, law enforcement sent in a robot to see what was going on inside of the store while shots continued to ring. Law enforcement and authorities announced the suspects had been shot and killed.
The investigation as to a motive will likely take weeks, possibly months. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of loved ones.
