A report in the Christian Post contends that the number of witches (and Wiccans) has dramatically increased since the 1990s, to the degree that there may be at least 1.5 million witches in the United States, which is higher than the 1.4 million mainline Presbyterians.
"[T]he practice of witchcraft has grown significantly in recent decades; those who identify as witches has risen concurrently with the rise of the 'witch aesthetic,'" reported the Christian Post in October, citing data from Quartz, a Trinity College study, and the Pew Research Center.
Between 1990 and 2008, the number of Wiccans in the United States grew from 8,000 to 340,000, according to three religious surveys conducted by Trinity College in Connecticut. In addition, the Pew Research Center reported in 2014 that 0.4% of the population -- 1 to 1.5 million Americans -- "identify as Wicca or Pagan."

Wide range investigation of duty cycle and frequency effects on bipolar magnetron sputtering of chromium nitride

Technological Platform Synthesis, Irradiation and Analysis of Materials
Among the different techniques of reactive sputtering, the bipolar and high power impulse magnetron sputtering are growing in interest for the thin films research community. However, the combination of both processes in presence of a reactive atmosphere is extremely complex and the role of the sputtering parameters are key points to control the deposited material properties. In this study, we have investigated the effect of the duty cycle and the pulse frequency on the reactive bipolar sputtering efficiency of chromium in presence of nitrogen. The study has been performed on a wide range of parameters: from 12.5 to 87.5% for the duty cycle, and from 62.5 to 5000 Hz for the frequency. In situ measurements of the magnetron discharge characteristics have been performed (excitation temperature, peak target current and voltage, energy influx at substrate position) in addition to ex situ characterizations of the deposited thin films (structure, microstructure, density, composition, optical and mechanical properties). It appears that the modulation of the duty cycle allows a better control of the mechanical properties due to higher ionization level at the target, while the frequency is better adapted to tune the optical properties that are attributed to a change of texturation and density of the deposited film (confirmed by simulation). All films present a similar microstructure due to the absence of bias applied to the substrate during the deposition process, which leads to a similar energy per atom of deposited species.

Q: jquery slide menu on the left open on load Any suggestion of plugins or fiddle examples how to realize menu at the left of the page with slide effect, animation and open/close button like on wookmark dot com done?
I already tried and look at:
http://apptitudes.fr/distrib/git/sliding_menu_js/demo/
http://srobbin.com/jquery-plugins/pageslide/
http://jpanelmenu.com/examples/jrespond/index.html
http://www.berriart.com/sidr/#usage (Sidr)
But they all closed by default. And seems slow down the page. Any suggestions? thanks.

A: For any of the examples you linked, you can easily open the sliding nav programmatically on page load. E.g. in jquery:
$(function() {
   $('.show-menu-button').click();
});

Or use their built in open functions. E.g. the JPanelMenu has:
var jPM = $.jPanelMenu({
    menu: '#custom-menu-selector',
    trigger: '.custom-menu-trigger-selector'
});
jPM.on();
jPM.open(false); // don't animate on page load

Also, you should know that it's common when adding big javascript components to a page that things will slow down slightly. That's life.

Pogba enjoys 'beautiful goal and beautiful victory…
Guardiola defends 'incredible manager' Arteta after Man City swat Arsenal aside
Pep Guardiola described Mikel Arteta as an "incredible manager" after his Manchester City side beat struggling Arsenal 4-1 to reach the last four of the EFL Cup.
Arteta left his role as Guardiola's assistant a year ago to take over at Arsenal but he is under intense scrutiny after a dismal start to the season, which has left the Gunners 15th in the Premier League.
He enjoyed no respite on Tuesday, with Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte sealing an 18th consecutive win in the competition for holders City after Alexandre Lacazette had cancelled out Gabriel Jesus' early opener.
Arteta's position will come under further scrutiny after Arsenal conceded four goals at home in an EFL Cup game for the first time since a 5-0 defeat to Chelsea in November 1998, but Guardiola is in no doubt about the Spaniard's talents.
"What can I say, everybody knows we are judged on results. He can defend himself perfectly," he told Sky Sports.
"I worked with him, we cannot have had our success without him. He is an incredible manager. I know his proposals and what he will do. Not even a little run of bad results is going to change my opinion."
The victory meant City became the first team to win four consecutive away games against Arsenal in all competitions since Chelsea between 1960 and 1965.
They were helped on their way by Gunners goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson, who allowed Mahrez's free-kick to squirm through his grasp and gift City a 2-1 lead.
It was Mahrez's first goal from a free-kick since September 2019 – and his fifth in all competitions in English football – and the Algerian knew there was an element of luck to it.
"It was a solid performance," he said. "We started good and then they equalised. We got lucky with the free-kick and then we got the third one and then it was easier for us.
"I was surprised at the position of Runarsson. He was so close to the post and luckily didn't catch it properly and that was good for us.
"We've been struggling but it's football. It's not always easy to score four or five goals. Today we scored four goals and it was a solid performance."
Arsenal 1-4 Manchester City: Guardiola's men compound Arteta's misery
Manchester City booked an EFL Cup semi-final spot and piled more pressure on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta with a resounding 4-1 win at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
Arteta, who was Pep Guardiola's assistant at City before taking charge of the Gunners a year ago, has faced questions over his future after a dismal start to the season has left his side languishing in 15th in the Premier League.
He did not find any respite against his former club, with City – who have won the competition in each of the last three seasons – easing through to the last four after second-half goals from Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte.
Alexandre Lacazette had earlier given the hosts hope of ending a run of three straight home defeats to City when he cancelled out Gabriel Jesus' early opener, but that proved to be a rare moment of joy in yet another turgid defeat for the beleaguered north London club.
The visitors started in ruthless fashion, taking the lead after just 125 seconds when Jesus headed Oleksandr Zinchenko's left-wing cross past Runar Alex Runarsson inside the six-yard box, ending a goal drought of 609 minutes for the Brazilian.
Laporte headed wide from a corner before the Gunners pulled level with their first effort on target in the 31st minute, Lacazette heading home Gabriel Martinelli's cross from six yards out.
City should have restored their lead before the interval, but Runarsson raced off his line to deny Jesus after a smart move on the edge of the penalty area involving Foden.
The Arsenal goalkeeper was entirely at fault for City's second nine minutes after the interval, though, allowing Mahrez's free-kick from the edge of the area to squirm through his tepid grasp.
City added a third five minutes later when Foden latched onto Fernandinho's pass and lofted a delightful finish over Runarsson, although the goal would have been disallowed if VAR had been in use with replays clearly showing the midfielder was offside.
The holders added gloss to an 18th straight victory in the competition in the 73rd minute, Laporte stealing in at the back post to head home Foden's inviting cross.
Guardiola hails clinical Mahrez, says Man City top performers will not be rotated
Pep Guardiola will demand "more, more, more" from his players after they thumped Burnley 5-0 on the back of Riyad Mahrez's hat-trick.
Benjamin Mendy and Ferran Torres were also on target as Guardiola's side found their scoring form, having struggled in front of goal in the early months of the season.
In his role as chief destroyer, Mahrez took his goals haul to seven in his last four Premier League appearances against Burnley.
His overall total of eight career goals against the Clarets means he has scored more against them in the Premier League than any other side.
The Algerian winger also took his tally of goal involvements in the Premier League to 102 (61 goals, 41 assists), making him the sixth African player to reach triple figures in the competition.
Such an impact means Mahrez looks set for a run in the City team, with Guardiola insisting the time for squad rotation in the Premier League is over, at least until the Champions League knockout rounds begin in February.
"Of course there will be players who are tired and need some rest," Guardiola said, "but they will play, the guys who defend well and score goals.
"The guys who do it will have more chances to play. It's not about right now making rotations. They are going to play more, more, more until they are tired."
Mahrez has clearly helped his cause, with the big win largely of his making, and Guardiola urged others to follow the former Leicester City player's lead.
"The last week or few days he's been much, much better and we saw him sharper," Guardiola said.
"Of course [a big win] can help us, especially for Riyad. Riyad has to score goals, the other ones have to score goals, [Raheem] Sterling when he plays has to score goals, and they don't score much.
"They have to score goals and that's the reason why they are here and play up front."
In the final reckoning, City had 68.6 per cent of possession and 19 shots to Burnley's nine.
Twice in the Premier League this season, City have taken more shots at goal, but they could not force a win on either occasion, losing 2-0 to Tottenham despite having 22 attempts and drawing 1-1 with Leeds United regardless of their 23 shots at the West Yorkshire side's goal.
City had scored just 10 times and lost twice in their opening eight Premier League games this season, which was hardly the start their manager wanted after being pushed aside by a rampant Liverpool in last season's one-sided title race.
Now, after inflicting another 5-0 defeat on Burnley - strangely, that has been the scoreline in their last four Etihad Stadium clashes with Sean Dyche's side - there is greater cause for optimism.
But Guardiola does not mind by how many goals his team win, as long as they continue to beat rival sides.
"It's not important; the important thing is winning games," said the former Barcelona head coach. "You can win it with a big margin and that's good, but I'm not expecting that every game we go out there and score a lot of goals.
"The important thing is to create the chances - every game we have a lot and today we were good and we converted."
For an afternoon at least, City did not miss Sergio Aguero.
The Argentine striker's knee injury has meant he has missed most of the season to date, and Guardiola reported that remained a problem, saying Aguero had been unable to train earlier in the day.
"We know the injury he had is not easy for the recovery. We have to handle it as best as possible," Guardiola said. "When he is ready he will start to train with us and play."
Manchester City 5-0 Burnley: Mahrez hits hat-trick in latest Clarets thrashing
Riyad Mahrez scored a hat-trick as Manchester City thrashed Burnley 5-0 on Saturday in a timely response to criticism of their early-season form.
The Algeria international struck twice in the first half to surpass 100 goal involvements in the Premier League and put City in total control.
Burnley had brief respite when a third City effort was disallowed, but Benjamin Mendy's clever finish – his first goal in English football – effectively ended the contest before half-time.
Ferran Torres also got his first league goal for City before substitute Phil Foden crossed for Mahrez to complete his treble and cap a supremely comfortable outing at the Etihad Stadium.
Mahrez opened the scoring just six minutes in, slotting home from Kevin De Bruyne's pass after a slick City move that started from a loose James Tarkowski pass.
It was 2-0 16 minutes later, Mahrez skipping into space and firing a shot in off the left-hand post after Burnley's defence switched off from a City throw-in.
Goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, making his Premier League debut, saw the ball bounce in off the same upright only for the assistant referee's flag to spare Burnley's blushes, with Gabriel Jesus having headed the ball off the offside Torres.
The reprieve did not last long, De Bruyne given time to clip a cross to Mendy, who turned a controlled finish beyond Peacock-Farrell for his first club goal since a Coupe de France match between Monaco and Marseille in March 2017.
It was 4-0 with 66 minutes gone, Torres side-footing home after Jesus' clever lay-off from a Kyle Walker delivery, and Foden needed just 93 seconds on the pitch before his cross was nodded home by the unmarked Mahrez.
Peacock-Farrell turned the ball into his own net but was spared by another offside call, with De Bruyne crashing a shot off the post in injury time as City made it seven wins in a row against the Clarets by an aggregate scoreline of 28-1.
What does it mean? City close gap to champions
The win moves City into eighth in the table, six points behind Liverpool, who drew with Brighton and Hove Albion and have played a game more. It also ended a run of six consecutive league games in which City have failed to score more than once, something that will no doubt leave Guardiola feeling encouraged.
Burnley are 17th, with five points from nine matches, and have now lost four games in a row at City 5-0. In English football league history, only Notts County have beaten a specific opponent by five or more goals in four successive home games, doing so against Port Vale from October 1893 to February 1907.
Mahrez magnificent
Mahrez is the sixth African player to reach 100 goals and assists combined in the Premier League (62 scored, 41 assisted) and he did so in some style here.
He led Charlie Taylor and Ben Mee a merry dance as he became City's first African hat-trick hero since Yaya Toure against Fulham in 2014.
Tarkowski makes it too easy
On a day of zero positives for Burnley, the performance of the usually reliable Tarkowski, who has openly declared he does not plan on signing a new deal at Turf Moor, was particularly unfortunate.
His poor pass led to City's first goal, his careless clearance resulted in the fourth, and he seemed unable to organise the back line.
City head to Porto on Tuesday, having already qualified for the Champions League last 16, before hosting Fulham in a week's time. Burnley are at home to Everton next.
Premier League Fantasy Picks: Why Mahrez and Keane are worth a shot
With coronavirus restrictions to be eased and fans allowed back into (some) stadia next month, matchday 10 will hopefully be the last of this season's Premier League where every game is behind closed doors.
With that in mind, this weekend is likely to become something of a cut-off point in 2020-21 in terms of assessing how players and teams are faring, and whether the absence of fans has helped or hindered.
In other words, if anyone likes playing in front of empty stands, this will be their last chance to really enjoy themselves – and rack up some fantasy football points for the discerning manager.
Using Opta data, we've come up with our latest weekly selection, which might give some of you an edge heading into the festive period...
KARL DARLOW
Newcastle United fans might not be fully behind Steve Bruce, but one most can agree on is that goalkeeper Karl Darlow is enjoying career-best form.
The 30-year-old has filled in admirably for Martin Dubravka this season, making more saves (41) than any other Premier League goalkeeper. In fact, only Edouard Mendy (87.5 per cent) has a better save percentage than Darlow (72.2 per cent).
Goals are usually at a premium when Newcastle play Crystal Palace – only seven have been scored in the previous seven meetings – so a Darlow clean sheet could well be on the cards.
Matt Doherty is one of only three defenders to have scored and assisted four Premier League goals since the start of 2019-20.
The Tottenham man has had 98 touches in the opposition box in that time, a tally bettered only by Andy Robertson when it comes to defenders.
However, nobody beats Doherty for shots on target over that time frame (17). As a defender for a resolute Tottenham side, he's always worth including.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been plundering the goal trail this season, but Michael Keane might just be Everton's most clinical finisher.
No Premier League defender has scored more than Keane (three goals) since June 2020, and those goals have come from only seven shots, giving him the best conversion rate (42.9 per cent) among defenders to score more than once in the competition in that time.
Everton have struggled for clean sheets lately but Keane at least could offset those defensive issues if he nets against Leeds United.
Burnley do not like playing Manchester City. They've won once in 12 Premier League meetings and lost the previous six in all competitions by an aggregate score of 23-1.
They are also sick of the sight of Riyad Mahrez, who has scored four goals in his most recent three league games against the Clarets. They are his second favourite opponents, behind Watford (he has seven goals against them).
Pep Guardiola could well rotate his side as the schedule continues to pile up, and Mahrez will be eager to impress.
Where would Manchester United be without Bruno Fernandes? Well, they'd be winless this season - he's scored the winning goal in each of their four league victories in 2020-21.
In fact, Fernandes has been involved in more Premier League goals (24 – 14 scored, 10 assisted) than any other player since his debut. In the same period, only Kevin De Bruyne (74) has created more chances than the Portugal star (56).
Facing Southampton away is a tough challenge for any side at the moment, so a decisive Fernandes display could be crucial for United.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin leads the way for goalscoring this season, with 10 in nine games.
If he scores against Leeds United, he will become only the second player to score more than 10 in his side's first 10 games, after Les Ferdinand, who hit 13 in 1995-96.
Leeds will be no pushovers, but Calvert-Lewin will take some stopping.
Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is looking to score in three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since last September.
Abraham has actually scored twice as many goals (18) as any other Blues player since the beginning of last season.
Frank Lampard has plenty of attacking riches at his disposal, but Abraham is out to prove a point to his boss.
Man City boss Guardiola hits out at schedule: Nobody cares about the players
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola accused football authorities of failing in their duty of care amid a hectic fixture schedule, insisting players are "not machines".
Matches are coming thick and fast following a shortened off-season after the coronavirus-hit 2019-20 campaign, with City due to host Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday on the back of Thursday's EFL Cup victory.
City will be without Gabriel Jesus as their injury list grows – Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo and Oleksandr Zinchenko are all recovering from fitness issues.
Guardiola – whose City were afforded an extra week of recovery before opening their season with victory at Wolves following a run to the Champions League quarter-finals – hit out at the football calendar, telling reporters: "Nobody cares about the players. It is about the business. The reality is what it is.
"It is not just Man City, it is all the clubs and countries. Nobody cares about the players.
"Everyone - the Premier League, UEFA, EFL - has defended their own business and position.
"The players had a two-week pre-season and now they have to play every three days for 11 months. We will not change anything saying the opposite.
"I understand it is an exceptional situation for everyone - restaurants, theatres, cinemas, museums.
"Everyone is struggling. We are not an exception. We have to believe in what we are doing and try and play a good game.
"We have three players who came back from national teams injured. We cannot control that. They let them play two games in four days without preparation. They are not machines."
While frustrated with the demands on players, Guardiola heaped praise on City star Riyad Mahrez ahead of his reunion with former club Leicester.
Mahrez, who won the 2016 Premier League title with Leicester, made his first appearance of the season in the 2-1 win over Bournemouth on Thursday following a positive coronavirus test during pre-season.
"Riyad is an exceptional player. He arrived late after the positive COVID-19 test only training for a few days before Wolves but I know how important he is for us," Guardiola said.
"For the quality, the passes and especially his mentality and he is aggressive to score goals. We will train the guys who didn't play [against Bournemouth] and we will see the way we are going to play and then which players will play."
Leo explained his feelings - Guardiola keen to move on from Messi saga
Pep Guardiola insisted it was not right for him to talk on Lionel Messi's behalf after the transfer saga that saw the Barcelona superstar heavily linked with a move to Manchester City.
Messi asked to leave Barca in the tumultuous aftermath of their humiliating 8-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
City were widely viewed as the frontrunners for his signature, with a reunion between Messi and Guardiola heavily tipped to happen before the six-time Ballon d'Or winner announced he would remain at Barcelona for the final year of his contract, accusing president Josep Maria Bartomeu of going back on his word and making the financial cost of any deal for a buying club "impossible".
LaLiga backed Barca in confirming the €700million release clause in Messi's contract remained valid.
Speaking ahead of Monday's trip to Wolves, where City will begin their attempt to unseat Liverpool and win a third Premier League title in four seasons, Guardiola was keen not to cause any friction with his former employers.
"I think I don't have to explain anything," he said. "Leo explained quite well his feelings, I don't have anything to add.
"He's a football player for FC Barcelona, the club I love, and there is nothing more to say."
Asked whether City would be interested in signing Messi were he to become available, at the age of 34, when his contract expires in June, Guardiola replied: I don't know. It's a question for Leo Messi. I cannot talk about the intentions of other people."
Guardiola's forward line at Molineux will be entirely without Argentinian talent after he confirmed City's record goalscorer Sergio Aguero is yet to resume full training following meniscus surgery in June.
Riyad Mahrez is set to feature after time in isolation following a positive coronavirus test, although centre-back Aymeric Laporte only returned to training from his own COVID-19 absence on Friday, so is a doubt.
That could mean a debut for Nathan Ake at centre-back, one of two major close-season acquisitions for Guardiola, alongside winger Ferran Torres from Valencia.
"So far really good," he said of how Ake and Torres had settled.
"What we have to do with all the players and staff, the people close to them, is to help them to settle as quickly as possible.
"They are two nice people and it's good to have them with us."
City have been extensively linked with a move for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, with the deal appearing to have stalled over recent weeks.
Nevertheless, Guardiola has no qualms over how his club have backed him in the transfer market.
"Since day one, when I arrived here, I was more than satisfied with what I had in the team," he added.
"The club do absolutely everything to do their best for all of us. I'm a lucky person to have these players and be in this club."

Man City duo Mahrez and Laporte test positive for coronavirus
Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte have both tested positive for coronavirus, Manchester City have confirmed.
The Premier League side revealed the duo had contracted COVID-19, though they were displaying no symptoms, and were currently self-isolating.
The 2020-21 Premier League season begins on Saturday, September 12, though City's first fixture in the competition is against Wolves on September 21, in 14 days' time.
Brighton and Hove Albion 0-5 Manchester City: Sterling hits hat-trick as visitors run riot
Raheem Sterling scored a hat-trick as Manchester City ran riot in a 5-0 away victory over Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.
England international Sterling made it six goals in five games, moving on to 27 strikes in all competitions – his best scoring tally in a single season.
His opener and a goal from Gabriel Jesus, who ended Saturday's match with two assists, ensured City were in complete control by half-time after making six changes to their starting XI.
Sterling netted again and Bernardo Silva scored before the hour mark as Brighton, who remain eight points clear of the bottom three, had no answer.
Nine minutes before the end, a determined Sterling grabbed his third.
Jesus and Eric Garcia had already missed early chances by the time Sterling put the visitors in front after 21 minutes.
He cut inside from the left and impressively found the far corner from 20 yards after collecting Jesus' headed lay-off.
Jesus had a shot deflected onto the crossbar by Brighton defender Lewis Dunk and also showed some great footwork to create a chance which Riyad Mahrez narrowly fired wide.
But City were not to be denied, Jesus tapping in from under the crossbar after Rodri had helped on a Kevin De Bruyne corner a minute before the break.
De Bruyne cannoned a free-kick off the post shortly after the restart and City soon got their third after 53 minutes when Sterling headed in Mahrez's in-swinging free-kick from inside the six-yard box.
It was four in the visitors' next attack when Mat Ryan could not hold Bernardo Silva's deflected effort and Jesus kept the ball alive to allow the Portugal international to convert a simple follow-up.
Sterling's hat-trick goal came in unusual fashion, as he forced his way past Dunk and Adam Webster before somehow creeping a header between Ryan's legs while he fell to the ground, with a scrambling Dan Burn then helping it over the line.
What does it mean? City emphatically end away-day blues
City had lost their last three Premier League away games, while they had scored just three times in their last six top-flight matches on their travels, despite an expected goals figure of 13.
They had no issues bringing those poor runs to a welcome end with a victory that all but secures second place in the Premier League after Chelsea's defeat against Sheffield United.
Jesus impresses with Aguero out
Brazil international Jesus scored his first goal since lockdown against Newcastle United last time out and, apart from the superb Sterling, was excellent as City's other standout in this game.
He scored one and assisted two as well as being a constant threat in a lively 63-minute outing. He now has 20 goals and 10 assists in a season where he has become even more important with Sergio Aguero out injured.
Brighton backline a concern
Convincing home defeats against Manchester United, Liverpool and now City mean Brighton are not yet mathematically safe. Facing Pep Guardiola's side is a formidable task at the best of times, but their defending did themselves no favours here, with City players constantly finding themselves unmarked close to goal.
City will likely make changes ahead of their FA Cup semi-final with Arsenal when they host struggling Bournemouth in the Premier League on Wednesday, a day before Brighton could seal safety when they play away to Southampton.
Bernardo one of the most special players I've had - Guardiola takes blame for Silva slump
Pep Guardiola still feels Bernardo Silva is one of the most special footballers he has ever coached despite the midfielder's dip in form this season – something for which the Manchester City boss takes his share of responsibility.
Silva was voted City's player of the season as he and his team-mates swept to a domestic treble in 2018-19, but his performances this time around have been indicative of a general malaise, with Liverpool storming clear of their rivals to claim the Premier League title.
The Portugal international has featured infrequently in the right-sided attacking midfield position he occupied for a chunk of last term, with Kevin De Bruyne back to full fitness and in prime form.
Similarly adept on the right-hand side of attack, Silva has found his path blocked by Riyad Mahrez and, more recently, Phil Foden.
The previous campaign concluded with the former Monaco man being named player of the tournament as Portugal claimed the inaugural Nations League title, and fatigue has not been difficult to spot in his work at times.
A Football Association ban for tweeting a racially insensitive cartoon to team-mate Benjamin Mendy placed Silva in hot water off the field and, speaking ahead of Saturday's trip to Brighton and Hove Albion, Guardiola conceded a downturn from the playmaker has been obvious.
"That's true maybe he didn't play as much as last season," he said.
"This season, maybe it was my fault or maybe Phil was more involved and Riyad maintained his level and the other players played good too.
"They know the competition they have with each other, but my admiration, respect, especially my opinion about him, nothing has changed.
"He's a special player for me. One of the most special players I had in my career as a manager, the relationship I have with him."
Guardiola is particularly impressed by Silva's acceptance of his situation – a stark contrast to when his manager said the City team last season was "Bernardo plus 10" – and is confident the 25-year-old knows what he must do to turn things around.
"He's a guy who doesn't change his mood whether he plays or doesn't play," he said. "There are players that just are happy when they play and they smile at me and smile at the backroom staff when they play.
"When they don't play, they make you feel they are not happy and they behave like a little, little child.
"Bernardo is completely opposite. He's a mature man. He's a man who knows exactly what has happened, how this moment is and always he's the same person.
"That's why he is an incredible person for me to work with and always I will be grateful.
"In the time we spend together, the only thing I want is to help him to come back at his best level. If there is one player in this team who I would give help and support, it's Bernardo Silva. He's the first on the list."
Mahrez scored his 10th Premier League goal of the season during Wednesday's 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle United and Friday marked the two-year anniversary of his £60million arrival from Leicester City.
Guardiola is impressed by the Algeria international's performances but suggested he could sometimes use some of Silva's good grace.
"He's an incredible player, fantastic self-confidence," he added. "He is a guy who always creates something special, in assists and goals.
"We are delighted to have him and hopefully he can help us when he plays and when he doesn't play. Hopefully I can help him to improve this detail."
Ten assists in all 10 seasons: Super Silva going out on a high at Man City
David Silva's sublime display against Newcastle United saw him lay on a 10th assist of the season, a tally he has reached in all 10 campaigns for Manchester City.
The departing Silva set up the first and last goals, scored by Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, in City's 5-0 home Premier League thrashing of Steve Bruce's side on Wednesday.
He also netted a 25-yard free-kick as he continues to sparkle prior to his exit at the end of the season, though surprisingly this was the first game in which the midfielder had both scored and assisted a goal in since January 2016.
Silva, 34, has racked up a total of 121 assists for City in his decade at the club since signing from Valencia in 2010.
Federico Fernandez scored an own goal, while Riyad Mahrez also notched to ensure City became the first team in Premier League history to have five different players score at least 10 goals in a single season.
Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero have all reached double figures in 2019-20.
The match was also notable for City completing an astonishing 93.7 per cent of their passes (787 out of 840 attempts), the highest level recorded since Opta began gathering data in the 2003-04 season.
Manchester City 5-0 Newcastle United: Silva sparkles against abject Magpies
Manchester City put their defeat to Southampton behind them with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Newcastle United on Wednesday.
The 1-0 loss at St Mary's Stadium was City's ninth of the Premier League season and left them a demoralising 23 points behind new champions Liverpool at the top.
That gap was closed back to 20 - while the distance to Chelsea in third was stretched to nine - as Pep Guardiola's side brushed aside Newcastle through goals from Gabriel Jesus, Riyad Mahrez, David Silva, Raheem Sterling and a Federico Fernandez own goal.
Newcastle were happy to cede possession and keep their defensive block in place, but the game plan was undone just 10 minutes in when Jesus finished from David Silva's cut-back after some slack marking.
The visitors were unable to cope with City's high press and, when they lost the ball again 35 yards out, De Bruyne ran onto Phil Foden's simple pass and squared for Mahrez to side-foot home.
That goal meant City became the first team to have five players hit 10 goals in a single Premier League season and there should have been another when Jonjo Shelvey gave up possession but Foden shot wide.
Foden somehow prodded wide with the goal gaping soon after the restart, but City had only to wait until the 58th minute for their third goal, Matt Ritchie kicking the ball in off Fernandez while trying to stop Jesus.
Silva made it 4-0 with a precise free-kick from 25 yards out, the disjointed Newcastle wall summing up the Magpies' scant overall resistance, and the Spaniard set up substitute Sterling for a simple fifth after intercepting a pass.
What does it mean? City consolidate second... and wonder why
City's latest goalscoring record took them to 86 in the league this season, 14 more than leaders Liverpool, but did little more than make finishing second almost certain.
The kind of attacking interplay and unshakeable dominance of the game against Newcastle only adds to the bemusement as to how they have lost nine times and let Jurgen Klopp's side have such a simple time of things in the title race.
It was a first league loss for Steve Bruce's side since February 22, keeping them six points outside of the top eight but comfortably 16 clear of the drop zone.
Silva still shining as City clock winds down
Silva got his ninth and 10th assists of the season in all competitions and a sublime goal to cap a typically creative, stylish performance. Surprisingly, it was the first time he had scored and set up a goal in a league match since January 2016.
He has just two more home league games to come as a City player. It is a shame they will be held without the crowd ovation he deserves.
Krafth work strikes a sour note
Newcastle's 4-5-1 shape was never likely to work if the players were so quick to lose focus. The first-half goals both came from the position Emil Krafth should have been occupying, although he was given next to no protection out wide by DeAndre Yedlin and Valentino Lazaro.
City head to Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, the same day Newcastle face a Watford side still fighting for Premier League survival.
Mahrez goal sees Man City break new ground in Premier League
Manchester City became the first team in Premier League history to have five different players score at least 10 goals in a single season on Wednesday.
Riyad Mahrez moved to double figures for 2019-20 when he slotted home Kevin De Bruyne's cut-back to make it 2-0 against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium.
De Bruyne himself has 11, as does Gabriel Jesus, who opened the scoring against Steve Bruce's side. City's top two scorers in the league this term are Raheem Sterling with 13 and Sergio Aguero on 16.
City are the first team in England's top flight to have at least five players reach the 10-goal mark since Everton in 1984-85.
Those goals from Jesus and Mahrez took Pep Guardiola's side to 83 in the league this season, nine more than newly-crowned champions Liverpool.
Despite breaking new ground in goalscoring, City found themselves 23 points behind Liverpool with five matches remaining after going down 1-0 at Southampton on Sunday - their ninth defeat of the season.
Jesus woes, missing Aguero - An Opta look at Man City's misfiring attack
A couple of days on, Manchester City's 1-0 defeat at Southampton – their ninth loss of a limp and unsuccessful Premier League title defence – still appeared to be irritating Pep Guardiola.
How had it happened again? Such wastefulness.
Guardiola warned his players their FA Cup and Champions League hopes will go up in smoke if they remain so profligate, with his suggested remedy sounding more like exasperation than a practical solution.
"The only solution when you create 26 chances [and don't win] is to do 35," he said, recalling the precise number of attempts City had without scoring on England's south coast last weekend.
"And if 35 is not enough, 40. And if 40 is not enough, 45."
The City manager stopped before his chances to minutes ratio ran away from him entirely, but his team do create a phenomenal amount of opportunities.
In a Premier League table compiled using results from each game returned by Opta's Expected Goals (xG) metric, City would be top and not a mammoth 23 points in arrears.
Put simply, if fairly absurdly, the division's top scorers have a goalscoring problem.
NO SALVATION FOR JESUS
Sergio Aguero's knee-injury absence means Gabriel Jesus is City's only fit senior striker. This is certainly not the best time for the Brazil international to be enduring a nine-match goal drought.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's home game against Newcastle United, Guardiola made a point of praising Jesus' performance at Southampton, but his numbers make for grim reading.
Of the five opportunities Opta classified as big chances to pass the visitors by at St Mary's, Jesus spurned three of them. His xG figure for that barren showing was 1.36.
In 29 Premier League appearances, the 23-year-old has scored 10 times in 2019-20. This is a significant under-performance of his 14.7 xG.
Jesus' big-chance conversion rate is 25 per cent. No City player has enjoyed more than his 28 opportunities of that sort, yet just seven have ended up in the net.
However, as noted above, this is a team-wide problem for which Jesus is currently – albeit somewhat understandably – the main scapegoat.
THREE AND NOT SO EASY
As of Monday, there had been 24 occasions this Premier League season when a team registered an xG in excess of three during a single match.
City have done so six times, more than any other club. However, their xG of 3.25 against Southampton means they are also the only team to have lost when racking up such a dominant statistic.
Burnley's 3.15 xG only amounted to a 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham, but in the other 22 instances, the team creating such a high volume of quality chances prevailed.
City also had an xG of exactly three during their 2-2 draw at home to Spurs last August - an outcome Guardiola still frequently references when assessing where the campaign went awry.
AGUERO LEADS THE WAY
City's all-time leading goalscorer, Aguero turned 32 last month and is out of contract at the end of next season.
The team's recent struggles arguably give an uncomfortable insight into the not-too-distant future. None of Guardiola's other main forward options are as reliably clinical or prolific.
Aguero' 16 Premier League goals this season arrived at a frequency of one every 91 minutes. In contrast to Jesus, he out-performed his xG of 14.6. The Argentina international converted 13 of 25 big chances (52 per cent).
Raheem Sterling was on target during the recent comprehensive wins over Arsenal and Liverpool, but his haul of 13 dips below an xG mark of 14.8, in part due to 10 of 26 big chances being finished off (38 per cent).
MAHREZ AND FODEN OFFER HOPE
Elsewhere, Opta's numbers show not all City players should despair when confronted with a sight of goal.
Riyad Mahrez has an xG projection of six Premier League goals this term, but is up to nine in reality. The former Leicester City winger isn't entirely immune to the jitters, however, with four of his six big chances missed.
Perhaps the situation calls for bold belief of a special young talent.
Phil Foden's provides a smaller sample size in terms of minutes played, yet the England Under-21 star has four goals despite an xG figure of 1.3.
All of those goals – a brace against Burnley in between strikes versus Arsenal and Liverpool – have come since lockdown and Foden is two from two when it comes to big chances.

Fresnillo, Zacatecas: Woman And Children Killed In Armed Attack
By Sol Prendido 4/14/2022 08:53:00 PM 12 comments
Two children and a woman killed, in addition to seven people injured, was the result of an armed attack on a family that was aboard a van on federal highway 44.
The aggression occurred after 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, on the road that connects the municipalities of Fresnillo and Valparaíso, near the El Obligado community, in the direction of this municipality.
In that place, armed men riddled the family that was aboard a green Nissan Quest van which was left in the shoulder lane with multiple bullet impacts on the vehicle, windshield and rear glass.
Inside the unit were the bodies of two minors, one approximately 3 years old, another 12 and a woman around 30, who according to police sources hugged one of the children to protect him from the bullets.
Inside the van were dozens of shell casings and pieces of glass, as well as blood.
Paramedics arrived at the scene, who transferred at least seven people, among whom there would be more minors.
News surfaced in the area that this was a family of locals who was heading to El Mineral, however, so far it has not been confirmed by the authorities.
The identity of the dead and wounded people is unknown at this time. The authorities are still carrying out the initial investigations of the attack.

The president will do nothing to catch the terrorists who murdered these unarmed civilians in cold blood let's see what he says on his daily press conference with his wimpy voice no wonder the people are swarming across the border he doesn't protect the people they are running from violence like during the revolution a hundred years ago history repeats itself.
ALMO is good at receiving bribes from Cartels, but let's it's citizens that are defenseless die.
MyHmbleOpinion April 16, 2022 at 4:38 AM
It was 2 women and one child that died. And you two critics of the president have no idea what you're talking about. He sent soldiers to boost up security there but they do nothing. Mexico is so corrupt that the politicians even passed a law decriminalizing corruption, but AMLO has changed that. If he was corrupt why would he put himself in jeopardy by changing that law. Real mexicans know the things he's doing. You guys just talk out your excretement holes. AMLO is making changes. He just put his presidency on the line by having a revoke vote, if he lost he would resign as president, it was required that 40% of registered voters had to vote no for him to lose and be forced from the presidency, but he said even if it wasn't 40%, he would go cause the people didn't want him. And guess what, he got over 90% yes for him to continue as president. Over 90%!!! And that's with the electorates, who supposed to make sure everything goes good and be fair, put up a bunch of obstacles. You think you know more than the mexican people and them living there?!!! Your ignorance speaks for itself. This man is doing what he could against a corrupt system and the opposition putting up roadblocks at every turn. They hate him so much that the president of the PRI who has a partnership with the PAN party, actually said "We will not vote yes for anything MORENA tries to pass in BENEFIT of Mexico". Taking your ignorance into account I'll refrase that for you. If MORENA tries to pass any law no matter how good it is, and no matter how much Mexico will benefit from it, they are going to vote no. Can you believe that. That's how corrupt it is over there. They're so corrupt that an energy bill that they supposed to vote on this sunday was going to be debated and the PRI, PAN, PRD, MC coalition had a lobbyist sitting in one of the seats in the house of representatives which is illegal. MORENA had to ask for his removal. And the lobbyist wasn't even Mexican. He was an Italian lobbyist representing an Italian energy company. Thats how crazy corrupt they are. It's a good bill in benifit of the mexican people and these guys are voting against it and have nothing but lies as excuses. And that's on an energy bill. Imagen how much they fight against the change AMLO is trying and is bringing about. His mission is threatening their pay days. So they are doing all they can to make him look bad and make him fail. And you're bitting into that. You didn't even critisize ttje govenor who in reality is the real care taker of that state. You know what the governor's excuse was to the violence in Zacatecas??? He said that the press were at fault for publishing the killings that are going on. That it forments the vilonce. I'll break itdown for you again, he's saying it's the reporers fault for doing their job of reporting!!! Can you believe that?!!! To me that screams big time that he's corrupt. But you don't mention him huh?!!! Educate yourself before speaking on something or you might end up looking silly again😘
SIR April 16, 2022 at 9:59 AM
That shot to the face of the fat woman looks too professional, I suspect the melitary did it confusing the people in the van with "narcos" and then they killed everybody to have no witnesses, would not be the first time, facking melitary too eager to make points anyhow.
Thank you MHO. Can't stand these 2 pendejos. Always coming on here and misinforming the readers with their baseless comments.... SIR we don't know what happened so to automatically point the finger at the militares puts you in a bad position. The van was riddled with bullets and everybody was not killed. 7 survived 3 perished. Let's stick to the facts.
1:06 the governor is closer to these incidents, his name is David monrial, and his brother is presidente (Mayor) of the city of Fresnillo, they own the state and municipal police not AMLO far away in the Palacio Nacional.

The 5 Most Common Criminal Offenses On Super Bowl Sunday
The Philadelphia Eagles have made it to the Super Bowl for only the 3rd time in their history. While they aren't favored in the game, they have managed to win 2 playoff games despite being the underdog. The point of this article, however, isn't to discuss the football aspects of the game but rather, how it, regardless of the outcome, can create potential criminal legal problems for football fans who choose not to celebrate responsibly.
The game obviously isn't in Philadelphia but only a very small percentage of Eagles fans will actually attend the game in Minnesota on February 4, 2018. The remaining fans will watch the game at home, at a friend's house, or a local establishment where they will more than likely consume various alcoholic beverages. Sporting events represent a great time to be with family and friends but also create potential criminal problems which can literally cost a fan more than the price of an actual Super Bowl ticket, including hotel and airfare. The most common charges that our criminal defense law firm, with offices in Philadelphia and Moorestown, NJ, sees during large sporting events are the following:
?Drunk driving (DUI/DWI)
Aggravated assault (attack on police or "enumerated" persons)
Obstruction of Justice Charges
Drunk Driving – Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
I have written a large number of articles on driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs and I can't stress enough the importance of understanding your rights in these cases. Remember that the legal limit in Pennsylvania and New Jersey is .08 and you should never assume that you are OK to drive simply because you "don't feel drunk". There is a difference between tolerance and intoxication and I encourage you to read my article on that topic for more information. In addition, I have published a book, Five Ways to Fight and Win Your Pennsylvania DUI Case, which provides an incredible amount of information on this topic.
If you are stopped for a DUI before or after the game, I encourage you to cooperate with police. Cooperation however does not mean giving consent to search you or your vehicle during a traffic stop. I do not recommend refusing either a blood or breathalyzer test during a DUI traffic stop, as a refusal will never help your drunk driving case.
Aggravated Assault (Enumerated Persons)
I can't stress enough the importance of not arguing or worse, getting into a physical altercation with police. Police officers like firefighters, EMS, and other first responders are a protected class. If you are involved in a physical altercation or a fight with police, the Commonwealth could charge you with Aggravated Assault as opposed to Simple Assault. While Simple Assault is graded as a misdemeanor of the 2nd degree in most cases, the Aggravated Assault of a police officer or other protected class individual (enumerated person) is a felony of the 1st or 2nd degree, depending upon the type of injury. If the police officer sustains serious bodily injury during an altercation, it is a felony of the 1st degree and a felony of the 2nd degree for bodily injury. Even if the officer doesn't sustain any injury, an attempt to cause either serious bodily injury or bodily injury can still result in the felony charge.
In addition to the felony charge of Aggravated Assault, a person who refuses to cooperate with police could face a Resisting Arrest charge. Under 18 § 5104, a person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the 2nd degree if he or she prevents a police officer from making an arrest or performing some other type of official duty by creating a situation which exposes the officer to bodily injury or requires the officer to exert a substantial amount of force to overcome the resistance. Resisting Arrest and Aggravated Assault do not merge for sentencing purposes and a person, therefore, could be subject to criminal penalties for both of these offenses in Pennsylvania.
In addition to a resisting arrest charge, a person could also face Obstruction of Justice charge which is a misdemeanor of the 2nd degree if the individual obstructs or prevents the police officer from performing their duties through any type of physical interference or violence. An Obstruction charge is different from a Resisting Arrest charge and would not apply in a situation where a person also faced a Resisting Arrest charge.
Disorderly conduct is normally charged as a summary offense under Title 18, Section 5503. It can be graded as a misdemeanor of the third degree if the intent of the actor is to cause substantial harm, serious inconvenience or the person persists in the disorderly conduct. The post celebration following an Eagles Super Bowl win could create a situation where disorderly conduct is charged as misdemeanor charge. A key component of disorderly conduct is the public's involvement in it. If the conduct never becomes public, there is no disorderly conduct.

Retail IoT: AI firm trials autonomous smartphone checkouts
American artificial intelligence (AI) firm AVA Retail has successfully completed the first trial of its autonomous checkout system.
The SmoothShop system allows customers to scan and pay for items with their smartphones in retail aisles. On finishing, the amounts owed by shoppers are deducted from their connected accounts with a click.
The technology is targeted at high-street retailers and smaller merchants.
● Frictionless shopping
SmoothShop is designed to be a quick and convenient system for both customers and retailers. The checkout doesn't rely on a third-party app or turnstile – AVA said "shoppers simply enter the store with their phone".
However, the company explained that it does offer additional software and hardware for stores that want to take extra security precautions. The system is powered by "deep learning, computer vision, and sensor fusion technologies", added the firm.
The news comes just days after UK supermarket chain Co-Op unveiled its own smartphone-based checkout service to slash queuing times.
AVA announced its frictionless checkout system in August 2016, but didn't start trialling the technology until September 2017. Since then, it has been testing it in co-working space/start-up community WeWork's food and beverage kiosks.
AVA has collaborated with Mastercard to bring the latter's digital payment and security services to AVA's cashier technology. Mastercard is on a mission to "provide comprehensive solutions for retailers across multiple categories", explained AVA.
In the UK, the Co-op's app is also built on Mastercard's Masterpass secure mobile payments technology.
Stephane Wyper, senior vice president of new commerce partnerships at Mastercard, said, "Mastercard continues to engage with innovative companies that are developing technologies that can transform the in-store retail experience to make the consumer journey as frictionless as possible.
"This collaboration is a great example of how we can couple our rich set of payment, security, and analytic capabilities with AVA's retail IoT assets to help retailers deploy unique experiences today," he said.
● Transforming retail
As Wyper suggested, AVA has also developed an analytics solution in partnership with Mastercard, to help retailers gain better insight into their customers' needs and behaviours.
So far, AVA claims to have processed more than 30 million customer journeys, 750 million product interactions, and 20 million checkouts throughout four continents.
Atul Hirpara, chief executive officer of AVA, explained that firm is helping stores accelerate their digital transformation plans and tap into emerging technologies.
"[Retailers are using] IoT sensors to digitally transform physical retail locations, creating digital footprints of in-store shoppers, store associates, and store inventory that was not available before," he said.
By tapping into IoT data, retailers can "create better shopper experiences, drive staffing efficiency, and higher sales conversion", he added.
● Internet of Business says
Mastercard's strategy to provide the underlying technology for frictionless shopping is becoming clear, and we can expect more announcements in this space in the months ahead. The tipping point will come when the biggest retailers get onboard with smartphone shopping, with many having already deployed automated self-checkouts.
As we reported in our story on the Co-op's similar programme, frictionless shopping has become critically important to rising numbers of customers. Many use their smartphones for shopping lists, while others compare goods online along with in-store prices from other retailers in the aisles.
Now both consumers and retailers want in-store shopping to be as swift and hassle-free as ordering goods online, but with the added benefit of bricks rather than clicks: instant access to goods.
The result could be greater loyalty to the brands that deploy these technologies – the Holy Grail for all retailers, especially in the squeezed mid-market – and a more efficiently run business.
However, not all retail environments will be appropriate for the instant gratification approach: it will be a 'horses for courses' market, with many shops – particularly in higher-end goods and fashion – differentiating themselves by their quality of personal service, as well as their goods.
In the UK, the Co-op has said that it has seen the use of cash in its food stores diminish rapidly as alternative payment methods have become more popular. Cash transactions have fallen by more than one fifth over the last five years, and by 15 percent in the past 18 months alone, it said.
Doubtless competitors will be watching to see how secure this new system is, what the impacts are on shopper numbers, supply chain/ordering processes, and the bottom line – and whether the system is used or abused.

Home News Did Google Deserve its £2.1bn Fine?
Did Google Deserve its £2.1bn Fine?
Steve MIlls
Critics have accused the EU of "playing politics" in accusing the tech giant of manipulating shopping results in its interest…
The £2.1 billion which was slapped on Google this week was a "lost battle it probably deserved to win", according to the Financial Times.
The Internet giant, accused of abusing internet search monopoly for its own gain, came under fire from the EU following a seven-year investigation – the results of which are the first of its kind in history.
The penalty, now an all time highest, was more than double the previous record holder from 2009, when Intel was fined £970 million for "anti competitive practices". (Intel later appealed but had it quashed in court in 2014).
The European Commission has not been shy about levying enormous fines to giant companies for self-exploitation based activities, and there is big, big money being ordered around as a result.
Was the Google Penalty a Statement?
This fine is worth more than €2.2bn (£2bn) and is the first ruling of its sort. Google "abused its power" by distorting the market and promoting its own interests first.
"What Google has done is illegal under EU antitrust rules," declared Margrethe Vestager, the European Union's Competition Commissioner.
"It has denied other companies the chance to compete on their merits and to innovate, and most importantly it has denied European consumers the benefits of competition, genuine choice and innovation."
Critics have said that the EU taking on Google in such a way has been a statement and a warning to other giant companies who may have entered a similar spotlight.
Tech Giants' at War
Prompted by rival technical giant Microsoft (and others), this investigation has been tunneling through information since 2010. Christopher Williams said in the Telegraph that "until a couple of years ago Microsoft was one of the main forces behind complaints against Google."
Critics have speculated that the investigation was driven by competing companies and that it was a "battle (Google) probably deserved to win."
Regardless, the decision has been made, and Google face having to cough up the huge fine after their "immensely harmful search manipulation practices" – according to the Chief Executive of Foundem.
He added: ""For well over a decade, Google's search engine has played a decisive role in determining what most of us read, use and purchase online. Left unchecked, there are few limits to this gatekeeper power."
So….What now?
Google has been given three months to rectify the issues and to make their practices in line with the EU's demands.
There is a possibility they will appeal the decision which could actually postpone any final arrangements for years to come. If they pay up, it will go down in history as one of the largest and notable fines of its kind.

...or listen to I in the author's own voice.
But if you are not a lover of words and an inveterate reader of bad advertising, you may not realize it.
If you're following our current adventures at all, you know that we are cruising America in the Slow Burn Marketing Brand Response Unit.
And driving the Interstate highway system means you confront an advertising medium abhorred by advertising greats such as David Ogilvy and Howard Gossage.
We are speaking, of course, of the Great American Billboard.
A BLIGHT UPON THE LANDSCAPE!
Or so such people would have us believe.
For us, however, we are not here to judge.
The attack of the billboards long predates any influence we could have had upon its spread across the land.
Now, we just use the billboard for our amusement.
And after seeing literally hundreds of them over the last several weeks, we have a new favorite.
It has entered the lexicon of Slow Burn Marketing in a way not seen since our favorite all-purpose tagline.
If you weren't here then, or you've simply lost those brain cells, it came from an advertisement for a nursing home.
Written by one of our favorite people in radio as a desirable feature (and done in all seriousness), we have adopted it as a catchall for situations where you're stuck for a good phrase.
For example, let's say you're writing a new ad for the Ford F-150 Raptor edition pickup truck.
Understand, this is no mere mortal pickup truck.
This is a lean, mean beast of a pickup truck with a monster engine and high-performance suspension and even off-road racing capability should you desire it.
So, you're writing an ad for the Ford F-150 Raptor and you've hit the wall.
You don't know what else to write.
"New! The Ford F-150 Raptor! It doesn't smell like urine!"
Really, how do you argue that?
It's absolute truth in advertising in every way imaginable.
After purchase, nobody can guarantee that feature. It all depends on who's with you and how you drive the thing.
But brand new, smells like the showroom floor fresh, the Ford F-150 Raptor doesn't smell like urine.
And guaranteed, it's a line that would get people talking.
Think of your own business. Chances are 99 and 44/100ths percent guaranteed that unless it works for your business--unless you have a diaper service.
And even then, "It doesn't smell like urine" is actually the result of the service.
After more than a decade of trotting out that old chestnut, we have retired it for a phrase adopted from a billboard in the heartland.
The establishment that has erected the billboards has chosen an eye-catching color scheme of yellow on black.
And the headline on the billboard is: "ONE WORD: STRIPPERS."
Subhead: "NEED WE SAY MORE?"
Because after that simple and final thought, the billboard has another dozen words of copy.
It's an entire list of features the club offers--including truck parking.
Because, yes, they indeed do need to say more.
So, in the spirit of words not mattering and overwriting the copy long beyond what should be necessary, and creating run-on sentences (which didn't happen with the billboard but is another great tradition of unskilled copywriting by people thinking words matter too much to exercise efficiency or judicious thought), we now gently move aside "It doesn't smell like urine" to give it a break.
We have found all kinds of immediate uses for our new catchall tagline.
Ford F-150 Raptor! Need we say more?
Xfinity! Need we say more?
Got milk? Need we say more?
Old Spice! I'm on a horse. Need we say more?
Dos Equis! Need we say more?
Burger King! Need we say more?
Nike! Need we say more?
HECK, WE'RE DITCHING OUR OWN TAGLINE!
My what a big brand you have, out!
In: Slow Burn Marketing! Need we say more?
It's so devoid of meaning, it works anywhere!
But really, you know what the best thing about this line is?
It's an all-purpose ad copywriting litmus test.
Because if you can use the line, chances are pretty good the answer is: Yes, you do need to say more.
So much copywriting is never, ever completed.
When I was in radio, I would routinely, I would get copy from writers who simply never finished the job.
One of the questions I routinely heard from people was, "Why do your commercials sound better than everyone else?" Because I finish the job.
Whether you're writing your own advertising, or you have someone writing it for you, always be hypercritical.
Always ask, "Is this ad finished? Do we need to say more?"
What constitutes more? What makes an ad finished?

Food & Drink: Bigger Mad Turk remains a delight
Ertunch Kazim of the Mad Turk restaurant in Stamford EMN-150128-170336009
Brad Barnes
Published: 16:04 Updated: 16:26 Friday 06 February 2015
When I reviewed The Mad Turk in Stamford's St Paul's Street last May, it was obvious the popular little restaurant's biggest problem was always going to be finding room for would-be diners.
Come Friday and Saturday night there would regularly be a three or four week wait for a table, and it has pretty much been that way since it opened almost two years ago .
A new look forThe Beehive
So I'm sure the conversion of the room upstairs to accommodate another 20 covers will go down very well with the paying public keen to experience what the Mad Turk has to offer ( I gave it 9/10 by the way).
The first floor has been fitted out in a Turkish-Cypriot style to match the downstairs dining area.
A new bar has been created and a new barbecue grill has been installed in the kitchen to cater for the extra customers.
Co-owner Shelly Kazim, who runs The Mad Turk with husband Ertunch, known as Kaz, said: "The customers are really quite pleased. We already have a waiting list for Saturday nights.
"It's a really exciting time. We are really pleased that we are doing so well still. We are not just flavour of the month any more."
Meanwhile another popular eaterie in the town under new ownership is hoping that a (slight) name change and exciting plans will take it from strength to strength.
Almost hidden away just off Ironmonger Street the recently rebranded No. 3 The Yard (formerly Jim's Yard) has been attracting enthusiastic diners for more than eight years.
The 70+ covers courtyard restaurant is now under the stewardship of Simon McEnery and Tim Luff.
Simon said: "We needed to make it clear through our brand that we are no longer "Jim's" but also want to make diners aware that the emphasis on superbly cooked and presented food very much remains."
"We have already made a few tweaks here and there to the menu.
"The restaurant's public areas enjoyed a minor makeover and we have numerous special events planned for the coming year."
Residents invited to Peterborough Faith and Food Festival
Buzzing about changes at The Beehive:
The popular Beehive pub/restaurant off Bourges Boulevard has freshened up its appearance (inset pic) after closing for a couple of days last month.
Manager Lauren Trevor said: "We chose some fabulous and appropriate wallpaper from the Farrow & Ball range with little bees on it, as we are 'The Beehive' we just couldn't resist it!
"It's really important to us that our standards remain high so we wanted to freshen up our general appearance with a lick of paint all round in addition.
"We have also just invested £20,000 on a state of the art walk in fridge/ freezer for our kitchen, this adds to our collection of quality equipment that ensures the food at The Beehive matches our beautiful decor."

OIC criticises Malaysia's Muslim KL Summit
Straits Herald December 19, 2019
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Wednesday mounted a veiled attack on a Muslim summit in Malaysia shunned by Saudi Arabia, saying such gatherings would weaken Islam.
Leaders of Muslim nations, including Saudi rivals Iran, Turkey and Qatar, will attend the summit this week in Kuala Lumpur, which analysts say is aimed at rivalling the OIC, a 57-member pan-Islamic body headquartered in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad dismissed those concerns in a phone call Tuesday with Saudi Arabia's King Salman, insisting the summit was not intended to create a new bloc.
But in thinly veiled criticism of the four-day summit starting on Wednesday, OIC Secretary General Yousef al-Othaimeen said such gatherings would divide Muslims.
"It is not in the interest of an Islamic nation to hold summits and meetings outside the framework of the (OIC), especially at this time when the world is witnessing multiple conflicts," Othaimeen told Sky News Arabia, without directly naming Malaysia.
He added that "any weakening of the OIC platform is a weakening of Islam and Muslims."
Malaysian officials say King Salman was invited to the Kuala Lumpur meeting but was not attending.
In his call with Mahathir, the king insisted that issues pertaining to the Muslim world should be channelled through the OIC "in order to achieve unity", the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

In a sign that Riyadh was unhappy about the event, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan cancelled his attendance after a recent visit to Saudi Arabia, reportedly to assuage his ally's concerns.

With the president of the kingdom's arch-rival Iran and the emir of Qatar — under a two-year Riyadh-led blockade — in attendance, there has been speculation the forum could be used to counter the kingdom's influence.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose relations with Riyadh worsened following last year's murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul, is also set to attend.
In a commentary for the Middle East Institute think-tank, analysts Giorgio Cafiero and Khalid al-Jaber said some Muslim-majority countries were uncomfortable with Saudi Arabia due to the meteoric rise of de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The Kuala Lumpur summit could "serve as an alternative to the… OIC, which is under Saudi Arabia's de facto leadership", they said. – AFP

2019 UCF spring football preview: Special teams seeks new leaders to emerge
By Matt Murschel
Replacing veterans like kicker Matthew Wright (11) and punter Mac Loudermilk (48) make the offseason a key time for the special teams unit as the group looks for new leaders to emerge. (Julio Aguilar / Getty Images)
Replacing the likes of veterans Matthew Wright and Mac Loudermilk leaves the special teams unit in search of new leaders to emerge in 2019.
As the Knights prepare to start spring practice next week, the Orlando Sentinel is running an occasional series previewing each position group on the team.
Returning starters: None
Others: Andrew Osteen, Alan Kervin, Dylan Barnas, Connor Piazza, Alex Ward, Matt Newsome, Alex Harris
Departures: Matthew Wright, Mac Loudermilk, Caleb Perez
Overview: Special teams are sure to be a point of focus this offseason with the departures of longtime veterans Matthew Wright and Mac Loudermilk.

Wright spent the past four seasons as the team's placekicker, becoming the program's all-time leading scorer with 375 career points. He also wrapped up the top spot for field goals made in a career (55) and field goal accuracy at 55-of-71 (.775) while finishing second in career PATs accuracy at 210-of-213 (.986).
Loudermilk also made a name for himself during his time with the Knights, ranking sixth all-time in school history with 4,528 career punting yards, seventh in total punts (108) and third in average yards per punt (41.9). He also served as the holder on field goals and extra points over the past two seasons.
Dylan Barnas served as the primary backup to both Wright and Loudermilk last season but didn't see any action neither did kicker Connor Piazza. Andrew Osteen, who didn't see action last season at punter, will compete with freshman Alan Kervin for kicking duties as well.
Caleb Perez was outstanding as the team's long snapper the past two seasons and his departure opens the door for Alex Ward, who served as the backup, to move up and handle the duties.
