Good result, bad result, two points lost or one gained – we just don't know yet. I would wager that a draw at Villa is a good result, but ask me again after the next three games and we'll know more. We were hardly going to go there and waltz it.
The main sensation I had from last night though was that we didn't play that well. We didn't lose but we hardly set the pulse racing. That feeling fans can get of an unstoppable head of steam building up – of a team on the verge of take-off – well my own view is we're still a way off that.
What it does mean though – and don't tell the marketing men at Sky in case they milk it – is that Sunday's set-to is undeniably hugely significant. Winning it might put the wind into our sails. Losing it might knock us into the doldrums.
I know Vermaelen and Eduardo succumbed to Arsenal Fever – the former fortunately not breaking a bone – but there is at least some comfort in the knowledge that we've got fewer players out now than we've had out for a while. Nasri, Song, Eboue, Walcott, Rosicky, Bendtner, Clichy, Sagna, Fabregas – all have had recent injuries of varying severity, or have been away, and all are now back.
I said back at the beginning of the month that to not strengthen the squad at a point where we find ourselves in a healthy league position would be almost criminal. It's a young squad with some extremely talented players and potential oozing out its pores but there's surely not a soul on this planet who believes Arsenal could not be strengthened.
So I 100% agree with those who say that buying could only benefit us. How could it not? Look what spending £10m on Vermaelen did. The market, it's clear, is hugely subdued, so I'm not expecting miracles. But I do still think we might swoop (for that is the only suitable verb to use across all media outlets as Jan 31st edges closer) for someone. It's not due to some magical intuition or insider knowledge.
It can probably be put down as being nothing more than the eternal optimism of the average football fan.
PS – Comments are totally kaput since I upgraded to the most recent version of WordPress. They've disappeared. Can't post new ones. I have no idea why so if you can help on that front, or know someone who can, I'd appreciate any advice going. You can mail me at eastlower AT googlemail.com or DM me on @eastlower on Twitter. Ta!
Would love to see a couple signings. Especially a convincing striker. At this point, I'm having trouble finding made up rumors. It's that bad.
I am so glad! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

MADISON, Wis. (December 29, 2017) – The Hotel Indigo project—the revitalization of the former Mautz Paint facility, a 102-year-old historic structure located in Madison, Wisconsin—is the first project financed through PACE Wisconsin. The statewide program, recently adopted in Dane County, enables commercial property owners to obtain low-cost, long-term PACE financing for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation improvements.
Kleuter Building, LLC—owner of the five-story brick facade building at the corner of East Washington Avenue and South Paterson Street—incorporated $1.5 million of PACE financing into the overall $31 million project cost. The PACE financing will cover the cost of energy-efficient HVAC, windows, and enhanced building shell performance. Over the life of these energy efficiency improvements, the building owner will capture $1.9 million in energy savings.
Greenworks Lending, based in Darien, Connecticut, provided the PACE financing component of the project capital budget.
Dane County adopted PACE Wisconsin earlier this year. There are 27 counties currently participating in PACE Wisconsin. County participation continues to grow as communities recognize the potential to stimulate economic development and reinvestment in local communities through clean energy improvements to commercial properties. The statewide program is administered by Energy Finance Solutions (EFS), the financial services division of Madison-based nonprofit WECC.
PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) drives economic development by authorizing municipalities and counties to work with private sector lenders to provide upfront financing—usually for 100 percent of the cost of energy-saving improvements—to property owners for qualified projects.
PACE Wisconsin offers an open-market solution for building owners in participating Wisconsin communities. To offer PACE Wisconsin, counties must pass a resolution authorizing execution of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA), and pass the Model PACE Ordinance through the county board of supervisors. Interested communities should contact the administrator at info@pacewi.org or view more information at www.pacewi.org.
WECC's EFS specializes in financing program consultation, design, and delivery services in support of energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements. Through partnerships with utilities, contractors, and other agencies, EFS offers customers simple, affordable ways to finance energy improvements. EFS is the financing services division of WECC.
Greenworks Lending is an energy efficiency and clean energy financing company that invests in commercial real estate with the goal of improving cost and energy performance. Greenworks Lending finances 100 percent of the hard and soft costs for qualifying projects through the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program. Founded by developers of the most successful commercial PACE program in the U.S., the team at Greenworks Lending has more commercial PACE experience than anyone in the industry.

Judicial Commission launches hearing into conduct of Fox Crossing Municipal Judge Len Kachinsky

Judicial Commission launches hearing into conduct of Fox Crossing Municipal Judge Len Kachinsky "I didn't know how to ask my boss, as my supervisor, to stop meowing at me," Kachinsky's clerk testified as he questioned her.

OSHKOSH - The latest chapter of the legal back-and-forth between the village of Fox Crossing and its Municipal Judge Len Kachinsky began Thursday morning in a Winnebago County courtroom.
This time, a panel of three Court of Appeals judges presided and the focus was on his judicial conduct. But it came back to the issue at the center of the series court cases between the two parties: His treatment of his court clerk Mandy Bartelt.
Kachinsky is accused of harassing her and retaliating against her beginning in 2017.
Her testimony in the first day of the hearing in the Wisconsin Judicial Commission's disciplinary case against Kachinsky largely mirrored that of a criminal case in which he was acquitted in December. Bartelt, the Judicial Commission's first witness, testified for hours Thursday under questioning by Judicial Commission Executive Director Jeremiah Van Hecke and Kachinsky, who is representing himself.
At times, tension surfaced between Kachinsky and Bartelt and the line of questioning veered into areas unusual in court proceedings. Bartelt testified that she came to fear him, and Kachinsky sought to cast doubt on her actions.
Among the issues that resurfaced Thursday was her report that at one point, he sat next to her staring at her and making cat noises. Is there something about someone meowing that is particularly disturbing to her, he asked at the beginning of his line of questioning Thursday.
She never specifically asked him to stop, he said as he questioned her, eliciting her response: "I did not. I didn't know how to ask my boss, as my supervisor, to stop meowing at me."
"Could you just say it?" he asked before quickly moving on.

In his opening argument, Van Hecke told the panel that the case was not about whether Kachinsky had violated the rules of judicial conduct, but to what extent.
"The other thing that I would ask the court to consider and ask the court to note is the majority of these allegations in the Commission's complaint took place after the judge was notified that a complaint had been filed against him and that the Commission was investigating him," Van Hecke said, calling that one of the aggravated aspects of the case.
Kachinsky, in his opening arguments, countered that he had not made an admission of violating any rules. He asked the panel to look very carefully at what he wrote or said and the context of those statements. He also said if the judges watched the statements and demeanor Bartelt, they would get a sense of how she developed a point of view.
Under questioning by Van Hecke, Bartelt testified to a flood of emails Kachinsky sent her over a long period of time, despite repeated requests by herself and village leaders to keep their communication work-related. She testified that at one point he explained to her that he knew where her family members lived.

The Judicial Commission investigates allegations of misconduct by judges. In its investigation, the Judicial Commission found that Kachinsky had violated rules governing judicial behavior. It filed a complaint in April with the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Kachinsky has described the issue as a result of a "workplace relationship gone bad."
At the hearing, the Judicial Commission must prove its allegations. Judges who are found to have committed misconduct can be reprimanded, censured, suspended or removed.
The hearing is scheduled to continue Friday and "thereafter as necessary," according to court records.
The Supreme Court suspended Kachinsky from the bench after he was arrested in July on preliminary charges of stalking and violating a temporary restraining order. He was subsequently charged in Winnebago County court in a criminal case that also revolved around his treatment of Bartelt.
He was acquitted by a jury but was not reinstated.
Kachinsky hired his clerk in May 2016. She began feeling uncomfortable after "several incidents" involving him in March and April 2017, the Judicial Commission stated in its complaint.
The complaint also cites behavior that the Judicial Commission investigation determined continued after that point. That behavior included leaving a bloody envelope on his desk for his clerk to find and sending an email in which he wrote that "some things are going to happen that will cause a lot of fire and fury at the Municipal Building." That email caused police to launch an investigation.
His treatment of Bartelt and reprimands he filed against her were "in retaliation against her for complaining to the village about his conduct and/or being in contact with the Judicial Commission concerning its investigation," the complaint states.
Kachinsky is a longtime attorney in the Fox Cities who garnered national attention when he was featured in the Netflix documentary series "Making a Murderer." He had served as an attorney for Brendan Dassey before being removed from the case.

President Peter Mutharika has said developing economies have a lot to learn from the Chinese economy taking into consideration the fact that not long ago China was a developing country on the same economic scale to countries such as Malawi.
Mutharika: Challenges will come but victory is possible. This is our conviction.
Mutharika was speaking at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) after he was confererred an honorary professorship for economic prudence.
''Five decades ago, Malawi was ahead of China on per capita income. China was then one of the poorest countries in the world. Today, China is one of the developed countries in the world, although you insist on being modest to say you are only a developing country. China has outpaced us in economy and improvement of the quality of life of her people,'' said Mutharika.
Mutharika said the achievement China has registered is worth emulating.
''China's [Economic] history is a great lesson to Africa. It is an inspiring story that tells us that it is possible for an Africa country to move from poverty to prosperity.'' Mutharika emphasised.
President Mutharika said African countries need to do an honest self-evaluation to understand why people of the continent are poor while the continent is the richest in resources.
''Our poverty is a result of the choices we made over the last few decades,'' Mutharika added.
Mutharika said Malawi has made a choice to walk from poverty to prosperity.
"It is not an easy walk. But we have chosen to walk that path," he said.
Mutharika said "every crisis is an opportunity to make a difference", saying for Malawi, the years of national crises taught the country to be resilient, to work hard and depend on the little it has.
"I came to lead Malawi in May 2014. The country was on the brink of economic collapse. We had just suffered the worst plunder of public funds ever known in modern history. This national plunder was called Cashgate. This was a state-sanctioned scheme by the [Joyce Banda] administration which I took over from," said Mutharika.
Mutharika said donors withdrew support for national budget but pointed out that with his economic prudence and reforms many cooperating parthner have not returned with budgetary support.
"We inherited a deficit that almost equalled our national budget at the time. We were technically bankrupt. Everyone thought the country was going to collapse. Most people lost hope – and you could see it in their eyes.
The Malawi leader said when donors stopped budgetary aid, his administration did not choose to go begging.
"We chose to cut spending and enforce austerity measures to save the little we had. We recovered our economy out of a crisis and without donor budget support. All our macroeconomic indicators speak of a rising economy of Africa," he pointed out.
China has one document they made as a road map just like our shelved vision 2020 & the way they implement it is parties campaign the best possible way of implementing each goal at a shortest time. But here we erase or abandone a project the predecessor started ndiye nkutukuka ndi Khwidzi zake muli nazozi ma President inu? Just continue piling Professorships without visible outputs.
Congratulations APM for the great achievements you have made over a short period of time……….there might be some flaws interms of governance but you deserve a second term to give you a chance so that you can finish what you started..
Owoo cashgate lero ndi cashloot or….aPumbwa ? economy yakwera kwa anthu ochepa wokha the masses are suffering mmidzi mu mbeu zomwe akolola sanagulitse pamitengo yogwira mtima apa ndiye nkumanama apa za zii tiona ndi impunity mukupangayi ipitilire beyond 2019!!
So you mean the Chinese can see economic prudence but Malawians can't see. I think Malawi is a cursed state chifukwa anthufe tachuluka nsanje kwambiri. See now, the Chinese are seeing koma a Malawi are not kikikikiki. I think this is sad.
Malawians know better than the Chinese regarding their poverty because they live and feel it . The Chinese can't tell us that we have developed because we know our situation better than they do. It's this kind of mediocrity and self praise that keep us n this sorry state while our neighbors have far much ahead of us. Talking about economic prudence I dont know if you understand what this concept means and entails in the first.
Rhetoric, the countries you have mentioned have different mind set and subscribe to different ideologies. Malawi is good at talking. When leaders say we have chosen to walk away from poverty they are talking about themselves not the rest of us.

Who really invented baseball?
A Civil War hero named Abner Doubleday is often credited with developing the game in 1839, but the real history is older—and more complicated. A Civil War hero named Abner Doubleday is often credited with developing the game in 1839, but the real history is older—and more complicated.
How did baseball begin?
No one is exactly sure how baseball began, but it seems to have its roots in the English game called "rounders" or "four-old-cat." This picture was published in a children's magazine with the title "Base-ball" in 1760 and shows players standing at bases; one holding a ball.
What was baseball originally called?
Early baseball[edit] A game called "base-ball" had developed in England by the early 18th century, and it continued to be called "baseball" until after 1800. It was mentioned in a book published in 1744 called Little Pretty Pocket-Book.

According to legend, the history of baseball can be traced back to a young man named Abner Doubleday, who invented the game during the summer of 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. Doubleday would eventually become a Civil War hero, and baseball would gradually become America's national pastime.
What year did baseball begin?
While there are reports that the New York Knickerbockers played games in 1845, the contest long recognized as the first officially recorded baseball game in U.S. history took place on June 19, 1846, in Hoboken, New Jersey: the "New York Nine" defeated the Knickerbockers, 23–1, in four innings.

Quick Answer: Who Was First Black Baseball Player?

Why is ethyne more reactive than ethane and ethene.
There are two reasons for less reactivity of Alkynes towards electrophillic addition reactions:-Due to greater electronegativity of sp-hybridized carbon atoms of a triple bond than sp2 -hybridized carbon atoms of a double bond, pie-electrons of alkynes are more tightly held by the carbon atoms than pie electrons of alkenes and hence are less easily available for reaction with electrophiles.
Hydrogen bromide adds more slowly to triple bonds than to double bonds. However, after one mole of hydrogen bromide has added, the resulting double bond is less reactive as a result of the electron withdrawing bromine atom. As a consequence, it is possible to obtain the product formed from the addition of one mole of HBr.
Which is more reactive, double bond or triple and why.
Double bond is more stronger than single bond because, Energy required to break double bond is 614 J while in breaking single bond is 349 J, thus the energy to break double bond is more than single bond so it is stronger than single bond. Double bond is restricted to rotation while single bond rotate freely so, double bond is stronger.Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated bonds that contain one or more double or triple bonds (e.g., ethene, propene, butene, etc.) and have different chemical compounds and properties. Their properties are similar to those of alkanes meaning that they are non-polar, have low solubility in water and have low melting and boiling points.The answer that I think you're really looking for is that double and triple bonds are stronger than single bonds, but the second and third bonds are weaker than the first (for reasons already covered well in the other comments). A double bond is reactive because it's second bond is, basically.
Alkenes and alkynes can also be halogenated with the halogen adding across the double or triple bond, in a similar fashion to hydrogenation. The halogenation of an alkene results in a dihalogenated alkane product, while the halogenation of an alkyne can produce a tetrahalogenated alkane.Examples Alkenes one or more C C double bond more reactive than alkanes Rules from CHEM 8A at University of California, Santa Cruz.
Triple bonds are more reactive than Double bonds. Triple bonds are made of sideways overlapping of p orbitals. This sideways overlapping is weak and can be easily broken by addition reactions. Double bonds have lesser number of pi electrons, relatively more stable than triple bonds.
Why do Hydrogen atoms form only single bonds with other atoms and not double or triple bonds like Carbon atoms? asked by Alice Keign on November 13, 2016; Chemistry. My question is why is benzene less reactive than 1,3,5-cyclohexatriene? I cannot find anything on 1,3,5 cyclohexatriene and why it is more reactive.
Its because electrons on multiple carbon-carbon bonds are more exposed and unstable. Multiple carbon-carbon bonds are characteristic carbon-carbon bonding to alkenes-with double bonds and.
Why are unsaturated hydrocarbons more reactive than.
An alkene is more reactive than alkyne. as double bond can donate pair of electron. while in tripple bond the bond length is less than double bond. Alkkynes have more attractive forces than alkene.
However, your compound (c) is not a regular carbonyl group, but an acyl chloride, which is a quite reactive species and thus very easily hydrogenated. For a bit of reading, see here the section on "Catalytic Hydrogenation": As a rule, the carbonyl group does not add hydrogen as readily as do the carbon-carbon double and triple bonds.

The double bond makes alkenes more reactive than alkanes Many naturally from CHEM 1305 at University of Texas, Tyler.
A double bond is longer and weaker than a triple bond, and is therefore easier to break, making it more reactive. Why double bond is more reactive then triple bond? The strength of the double bond.
Double bonds have lesser number of pi electrons, relatively more stable than triple bonds. A triple bond is more reactive than a double bond. That is because it takes energy to form a bond. So, each bond you add between two atoms, increases the potential energy stored in that bond.
Why are alkene and alkyne having double and triple bond.
Double bond can be broken into single bond and likewise Triple Bond is broken into Double Bond. But Single bond cannot be broken into a more simpler bond. This is why Saturated compounds are inert and less reactive. Whereas Unsaturated compunds are broken into simpler bonds and are reactive.
However, unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that have at least one or two double or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The double bond indicates a vacancy where two electrons can potentially bind to the carbon atom. Therefore, unsaturated hydrocarbons tend to be more reactive in nature than do saturated hydrocarbons.
The double bond rule states that chemical elements with a principal quantum number greater than 2 for their valence electrons (period 3 elements and lower) should not form multiple bonds (e.g. double bonds and triple bonds) with themselves or with other elements. The double bonds, when they exist, are often weak due to poor orbital overlap.

Begin or increase funding for social justice.
Select Chapter:
In the decades since the term first came into use, "social justice philanthropy" has been used across the sector to describe diverse modes of philanthropy. For NCRP, the concept has two tenets:
Funding intended to benefit underserved communities: the population element.
Funding whose explicit goal is long-term systemic change: the strategy element.
The logic and demonstrated value of these elements of social justice philanthropy can be found in nearly 10 years of NCRP research. In 2009, NCRP combined them – along with other philanthropic best practices – into aspirational goals for philanthropy in the landmark Criteria for Philanthropy at Its Best. Not until now, however, has NCRP been able to look back on a decade of data to observe just how well the sector has measured up to those benchmarks.
Who benefits from philanthropy?
Between 2003 and 2013, foundation giving to intentionally benefit underserved communities in the U.S. increased slowly, both in total dollars and as a share of all giving. Still, it remains disturbingly low: Domestic grantmaking to benefit underserved communities grew from 26 to 31 percent in those 11 years and from $3.2 billion to $5.7 billion in total dollars.
One third of those dollars came from 250 funders whose overall grantmaking showed stalwart commitment to prioritizing populations that were underserved and marginalized. Most of these grantmakers were very large independent and family foundations, with a few notable exceptions. Twenty percent of the grantmaking that explicitly benefitted at least one underserved community between 2003 and 2013 came from just 20 other large foundations, none of whom met NCRP's benchmark.
Almost 9 out of every 10 foundations in the sample devoted less than half of their grant dollars between 2003 and 2013 for the intended benefit of underserved communities. Together, they were responsible for $200 billion in grantmaking during that decade.
Whose public good do those dollars serve if not communities that need them most? One understands, in light of these data, the frustration felt by nonprofit organizations working tirelessly on behalf of the poor, of immigrants, of women and girls, of victims of crime and abuse and others when they face dire budgetary shortfalls despite the hundreds of billions of dollars cached in foundation assets.
Band Aid Philanthropy
Making matters worse, foundation giving for strategies that lead to long-term change for underserved communities did not increase between 2003 and 2013. Foundations gave $18 billion domestically for these social justice strategies in those 11 years, and $700 million more in 2013 than in 2003. But the increase was not enough to keep up with the explosive growth in foundation giving and assets.
Half of this funding came from just 20 foundations, all of them very large independent or family foundations. Clearly, these 20 leading funders have realized the potential for leveraged impact in funding strategies such as organizing, civic engagement and public policy change. They should be proud of their sustained contribution to progressive change, but it should worry the philanthropic sector at large that such a substantial portion of all funding for these strategies is coming from such a small cohort.
That cohort has welcomed a slew of new members since 2003. More than 75 percent of the funders that met NCRP's social justice strategies benchmark in 2013 did not appear in the sample in 2003. Sector leaders like Unbound Philanthropy, Northwest Area Foundation, Annie E. Casey Foundation, Foundation for the Mid-South and NoVo Foundation have shown that wisdom doesn't just come with age. All five have entered the upper echelon of foundations and all have given more than 90 percent of their domestic grantmaking to systemic change strategies since 2003. Their emergent leadership is especially important in the light of the projected sunsetting of The Atlantic Philanthropies in 2020, whose consistent and significant support for social justice strategies will be missed in their absence. These data might indicate that new, young and growing foundations are increasingly attuned to the opportunity presented by social justice grantmaking.
Fifty other large foundations appear to be flirting with a commitment to social justice strategies, having given between 15 and 25 percent of their domestic grantmaking for social justice between 2003 and 2013. Together, they were responsible for 16 percent of all social justice strategies funding in those 11 years, despite not meeting NCRP's benchmark.
These foundations represent an exciting opportunity for the sector. If they take the next step and commit to funding long-term systemic change, $10 billion more could flow to social justice grantees in the next decade. NCRP's analysis indicates that, once funders reach the 25 percent benchmark, they are less likely to backslide in their commitment to social justice funding than they are at 20 or 15 percent. In other words, the 2003 to 2013 data indicate a commitment threshold for systemic change grantmaking around 25 percent of all grant dollars. If grantmakers in the 15 to 25 percent range can increase their commitment by just a few percentage points, they are likely to continue leading the sector toward more systemic change funding.
The $18 billion devoted to systemic change strategies between 2003 and 2013 had an enormous impact on underserved communities, but it is not enough. The share of all domestic funding for social justice strategies did not budge in those 11 years, and more than half of the 1,000 funders in the data set gave less than 10 percent of their grant dollars for long-term change strategies. The median foundation's share of social justice strategies grantmaking was just 8 percent.
How you give is as important as the amount you grant.
When it comes to the administration of social justice grantmaking, foundations are not doing much better. Between 2003 and 2013 foundation giving as general support increased very slowly, with the share of domestic grantmaking as general support inching up from 18 to 21 percent. This means that, in those 11 years, 80 percent of all domestic grantmaking was given as restricted project support, a grantmaking practice that hamstrings grantees.
This disappointing trend holds for general support grantmaking for underserved communities. Social justice strategies grantmakers may be doing a bit better – the share of those grant dollars given as general support surpassed the sector-wide share in 2012 – but more data are needed to determine whether this is a signal for hope or just noise.
In any given year between 2003 and 2013, about 90 percent of the foundations in the FC1000 did not report making any multi-year grants. Although imperfections in the sector's multi-year funding data limit robust year-to-year analysis, lack of reporting and other anecdotal evidence from the sector indicates that that multi-year grantmaking – the best way to sustain a healthy nonprofit and a healthy sector for the long term – is still vanishingly rare. Between 2003 and 2013, the 2,079 foundations in the sample reported that just 16 percent of all their domestic grantmaking was given as multi-year support, and that share does not appear to have changed significantly in those 11 years.
In the next decade, foundations must change course if they are serious about being agents of sustainable, just social change and not just vehicles for elite tax relief. Here are three things that foundations can do now:
Increase funding to benefit underserved communities. Foundation grantmaking serves the public good when it prioritizes those with the least wealth, power and opportunity in our society.
Begin funding strategies proven most effective at addressing roote causes of the issues we are seeking to address. Charity is the bedrock of American philanthropy, but foundations squander their potential for long-term sustainable change when they choose not to use all the advocacy and power-building tools at their disposal.
Give more dollars as general support and multi-year funding. True partnership between grantees and funders is based in trust, and the best way to put that trust into practice is with long-term, unrestricted general support grantmaking.
