Top 10 players in La Liga this season outside the 'Big 3' | Tiki-Taka-Gol!
Somewhat predictably the dominance that Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have exerted on La Liga in recent years has continued this season and if anything the gap between the trio and the rest has grown. Last term Valencia and Sevilla finished with 77 and 76 points respectively and both were just another win short of finishing above Atleti in 3rd.
However this season Valencia have imploded and find themselves in a relegation battle while Sevilla almost incredibly are yet to record an away win. Villarreal in 4th are 12 points back on the top three and they themselves are a further 8 points clear of the rest so clearly the league remains very top-heavy. Therefore it is no surprise that the top 9 performers in La Liga this season according to WhoScored.com all play for one of the top 3 clubs with Real's 'BBC' and Barca's 'MSN' taking up the top six positions.
Few would argue against Nolito being one of the stars of the campaign. He has scored 10 goals and created a further 6 which is impressive given he missed over 2 months with a thigh injury. Celta struggled during that period and the 29 year old's return has coincided with an upturn in form with the Galicians looking well set to qualify for Europe. He has been strongly linked with a return to Barcelona this summer with the Catalans rumoured to have made a failed bid to sign him in January.
It has been another stellar season from Aritz Aduriz as he has spearheaded the Athletic attack with 33 goals in all competitions. His form has seen him break into the Spain squad at the grand old age of 35 and he could yet be a key player for Vicente Del Bosque's men this summer in France.
It has been a season of precious few positives for Valencia but Shkodran Mustafi has been one. The 23 year old German is developing into a fine player and Valencia would be in an even deeper mess were it not for his reliable showings in the heart of their defence. To put things into perspective he has won 'man of the match' in 4 of Valencia's 8 league wins this term.
Polish international Grzegorz Krychowiak has built on an impressive debut season in Spain and is unquestionably one of the leading defensive midfielders in the division and perhaps Europe right now. Sevilla may have to fend off interest in the 26 year old this summer with numerous Premier League clubs having been linked with a swoop for the player.
It never quite worked out for Asier Illarramendi at the Bernabeu and he struggled in the face of stiff competition for places but he is looking at home again back in San Sebastian. He has been integral to Real Sociedad's resurgence with a string of fine performances in the heart of the midfield since the turn of the year.
Mexican centre-back Diego Reyes has been one of the most impressive debutants in La Liga this term. He is only on loan from Porto, where he barely got much of a look in but has quickly established himself as one of the first names on the teamsheet at the Anoeta. The 23 year old already has 32 caps for Mexico but with no 'option to buy' in the loan contract he will most likely be back in Portugal next season.
It has been a good year for the veterans with the likes of Aduriz and Ruben Castro both still banging in the goals in their mid-30s while 36 year old Weligton has formed the core of one of La Liga's meanest defences. Only 3 teams have conceded fewer goals than Malaga this term and the Brazilian is one of the main reasons why that is the case.
Perhaps one of the more surprising names in the list, Yuri has endured an odd career in many respects having deserted his native Basque Country to join Tottenham as a teenager but failing to make the grade. After several years in the lower leagues in Spain he is back at his hometown club and since he broke into the side in late October has been a permanent fixture for La Real, putting in some excellent displays at left-back.
Villarreal are having a fine campaign and look certain to make the Champions League. The calming presence of club legend Bruno in the heart of the midfield has again been key to their success. The 31 year old 'one club man' has seen the good and bad times during his long stay at El Madrigal and his loyalty and presence on the pitch has always made it easier for Villarreal to adapt to the constant flurry of departures and new arrivals each summer.
While Aduriz has rightly received many of the plaudits, Raul Garcia has impressed at San Mames following his summer move from Atletico Madrid. The 29 year old has chipped in with 7 goals and 6 assists as Athletic have enjoyed a solid league campaign while also progressing into the last eight of the Europa League.
Honorable mentions should go out to Sevilla's Ever Banega, Malaga's Ignacio Camacho, Depor striker Lucas Pérez and Real Betis defender Heiko Westermann who were all close to making the list.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about the top 10 is that only 1 Villarreal player makes it and that points to the fact that their success this term both at home and abroad has been a team effort rather than down to individual brilliance.
The presence of 3 Real Sociedad players in the top 8 may also surprise a few people but there have been glimpses of their quality particularly in away wins at Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao and heavy wins on the road at Granada, Levante and Espanyol. Inconsistency and injury problems have plagued them though and surely next season they ought to be targeting European qualification.

Sisense hauls in $80M investment as data analytics business matures
Sisense, a company that helps customers understand and visualize their data across multiple sources, announced an $80 million Series E investment today led by Insight Venture Partners. They also announced that Zack Urlocker, former COO at Duo Security and Zendesk, has joined the organization's board of directors.
The company has attracted a prestigious list of past investors, who also participated in the round, including Battery Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, DFJ Venture Capital, Genesis Partners and Opus Capital. Today's investment brings the total raised to close to $200 million.
CEO Amir Orad says investors like their mission of simplifying complex data with analytics and business intelligence and delivering it in whatever way makes sense. That could be on screens throughout the company, desktop or smartphone, or via Amazon Alexa. "We found a way to make accessing data extremely simple, mashing it together in a logical way and embedding it in every logical place," he explained.
It appears to be resonating. The company has over 1000 customers including Expedia, Oppenheimer and Phillips to name but a few. Orad says they are actually the analytics engine behind Nasdaq Corporate Solutions, which is the the main investor relations system used by CFOs.
He was not in the mood to discuss the company's valuation, an exercise he called "an ego boost he doesn't relate to." He says that he would prefer to be measured by how efficiently he uses the money investors give him or by customer satisfaction scores. Nor would he deal with IPO speculation. All he would say on that front was, "When you focus on the value you bring, positive things happen."
In spite of that, he was clearly excited about having Urlocker join the board. He says the two spent six months getting to know each other and he sees a guy who has brought several companies to successful exit joining his team, and perhaps someone who can help him bring his company across the finish line, however that ultimately happens. Just last month, Cisco bought Urlocker's former company, Duo Security for $2.35 billion.
For now Sisense, which launched in 2010, has another $80 million in the bank. They plan to add to the nearly 500 employees already in place in offices in New York, Tel Aviv, Kiev, Tokyo and Arizona. In particular, they plan to grow their international presence more aggressively, especially adding employees to help with customer success and field engineering. Orad also said that he was also open to acquiring companies should the right opportunity come along, saying "Because of talent, technology and presence, it's something you have to be on lookout for."
When a company reaches Series E and a couple of hundred million raised, it's often a point where an exit could be coming sooner than later. By adding an experienced executive like Urlocker, it just emphasizes that possibility, but for now the company appears to be growing and thriving, and taking the view that whatever will be, will be.

Gregory Gopman speaks with an attendee post presentation.
Gregory Gopman is the Co-Founder and CEO of AngelHack and Co-Founder of Hackathon.io, and tonight he's presenting to a packed house here in Hong Kong hosted by the SME Creativity Center. Three weeks from now Gopman will be hosting a hackathon in Hong Kong where techies will gather to code for a day and a half straight until their eyes dry up from looking at computer screens and drinking gallons of caffeine-laced high fructose corn syrup.
It's encouraging to see someone like Gopman taking an interest in Hong Kong, a city which, by all rights, should have a well established tech startup scene but which lags other world cities when it comes to geeks per capita and the companies that depend upon a high tech workforce to thrive. Granted, finding good programming talent anywhere is hard. It was hard in Salt Lake City, Utah where I moved from in June, and it's hard in Silicon Valley, which is why any decent programmer there can make six figures.
Gopman tells a participant "There are plenty of good programmers in Hong Kong," but it's hard to draw them to a tech startup. In a culture that values respect for parents and those parents value job stability, programmers tend to gravitate toward the many lucrative jobs available in Hong Kong's financial industry. Working for a startup also isn't exactly the best way to attract a mate. Gopman's hackathon may not change that, but it's a step in the right direction toward making startups a more acceptable career path.
Jon Buford is a founding member of Hong Kong's largest startup organization StartupsHK and Founder and CEO of Makible, a manufacturer of 3D printers. Jon agrees there are cultural barriers in Hong Kong that prevent programmers from joining startups, but that things are improving. "We are seeing more developers being open to early stage companies," Buford says. "Startups are getting more and better media coverage locally and the financial industry is not as stable as it was." Buford brings up a tactic for securing good developers that most entrepreneurs would prefer not to deal with--creating them. Buford explains, "For Makible, I think as we grow more and if we start hiring more junior level people, it will be harder to find ones with some good experience and that we will have to train them more."
Perhaps another method of growing Hong Kong's programmer population is to attract outside tech talent. As Jong Lee, founder of co-work space Hong Kong Commons points out, a $150,000 developer in Silicon Valley costs the company $225,000 when you include benefits and overhead, and the take home pay after taxes and the cost of living comes out to around $4,000 per month. Here in Hong Kong the top marginal personal income tax rate is capped at 15%, rather than 35% in the US. Other than housing the cost of living is quite affordable. "And a $1M private sector health policy here is $1,000 USD per year, not per month," Lee emphasizes.
What everyone in Hong Kong seems to be in agreement on is that what Hong Kong needs, both to kickstart the tech startup scene, as well as attract programmers to startups, is a home-grown home run. Companies like Microsoft and Intel in the 90s and more recently Facebook and Twitter made programming an acceptable career path in the United States. Alibaba with its much anticipated IPO (which sadly will not be happening on the Hong Kong exchange) may do the same for China. But Hongkongers need their own tech startup hero. A programmer/founder who creates a tech giant and paves the way. Who will step up to the plate?

Laptops are one of the most common things we fix in Decorah, Iowa. Extend your laptop's life with these five easy tips.
Keep it cool: Your laptop has 2 sure ways of telling you when it's too hot – the fan and auto-shut off. Each component in your laptop is generating heat, and the harder it's working, the more heat each creates. The fan runs to blow that heat out the vent and keep the components cool enough to continue operating. Because there's no clear temperature indicator, your fan volume is the best guide to monitoring laptop heat. While the laptop is working hard (and getting hot), the fan will spin faster and louder. It's not uncommon for it to sound like a hair dryer at times! Help it out by keeping your fan vent clear of books, blankets, and other blockages.
We service both Mac and Windows laptops in the Decorah area.

How Do I Choose the Best Barbecue?
Summer is here and you've been waiting all year long to invite your friends over to show off your newly renovated house. So, you buy all types of meat, fire up the gas oven, and start cooking. By the time your friends come, the house isn't only full of smoke, but all the summer heat has made the mixed aromas from the kitchen worse. Your friends opt to sit on the outdoor chaise lounge to escape the heat. If only you had a BBQ grill strategically positioned in your backyard for you to cook on as you chat away with your friends!
Having a barbeque grill allows you to grill scrumptious meals right in your backyard as you enjoy the warm weather. BBQ grills allow for different heat sources to be used such as gas (propane gas or natural gas), charcoal, and even electricity. If you grill frequently, then gas grills will save you on fuel compared to the electric ones.
The best BBQ grill should have adequate space, allowing you to easily cook anything and everything with amazing results. The grates of the BBQ grill are also an important consideration since that's where your food tongs work their magic. Grates made of cast iron last the longest and are naturally non-stick. On the other hand, their stainless steel counterparts are less likely to corrode, but you may find that food sticks a lot on the grates.
Just as there are many different types and brands of barbecue grills out there, so are the prices different. For as high as $600 and with a little less than $120, you'll be in a position to acquire a BBQ grill that comes with all the essentials for grilling.
Among other things, the cooking surface area dictates the price of a grill - you'll pay some extra bucks for a grill with a larger cooking area. The quality of the grates also determines the price, where porcelain-coated cast iron grates make a grill pricier than one with stainless steel grates. Of course, the market has cheap BBQ grills that are dome-shaped, which limits the amount of food you can grill at a go – we don't recommend these for grilling large amounts of food.
Heat source – Can either be gas (propane gas or natural gas), electric heat, infra-red, or charcoal. Gas grills are the most common since they're versatile and convenient.
Usability/Type – Is the grill portable? Does it allow you to store food after cooking? How long does it take to ignite and heat up?
Cooking space - Dome-shaped grills have less cooking space compared to flat ones. You may need to go for a larger surface area in case you're grilling for a large crowd.
Grates– Are the grates made of porcelain-coated cast iron or stainless steel? Cast iron is easier to clean and is naturally non-stick.
Power – Does it come with a variety of heat and temperature settings?
BBQ grills can be dome-shaped or rectangular, depending on the size of the cooking surface. The dome-shaped grills occupy less space and are perfect if you have a small balcony or a sizeable back yard. The rectangular ones are larger and may need more space to fit in. You may also find that they have wheels for portability.
A key feature in grills is the cooking grid /grates where you place your delicacies. Grates can be made of porcelain-coated cast iron that's non-stick, or stainless steel which is less likely to rust - but some people have reported that food may stick on the grill as you cook.
Of late, barbecue grills have incorporated extra features such as side burners that allow you to cook dishes to compliment your meat, as well as convection cooking which saves on gas and makes your meat more succulent.
The performance of a barbecue grill depends on the source of heat. Grills that use gas, whether propane or natural gas, are the most convenient because they quickly heat up compared to charcoal grills which take longer to ignite and cool down afterwards. Electric grills offer the least natural flavor, but the best thing about them is that they can be used practically everywhere.
BBQ grills are easy to install and only require you to set up your heat source before you start grilling. They're also easy to clean – just wipe the grates and the outer surface. Some grills come with a cover to protect your BBQ grill when you're done using it in the summer, which is definitely something to be on the lookout for.
We're sure by now you have an idea of what to look out for when getting a BBQ grill, such as the size of the cooking surface as well as the quality of the grates. This review goes further and brings you more pointers that will assist you as you seek to purchase an ideal grill.

Q: Implement andmap function in scheme for any number of lists I got a question to implement the andmap scheme function - andmap proc.
The output seposed to be:

Now, I have a code for andmap func but it is not good for more that one list.
my code:
(define (andmap1 pred lox)
(foldr (lambda (x y) (and x y)) true (map pred lox)))

my output:

can someone help me please?
Thanks

A: There's a conceptual problem with the way you're attempting to implement andmap. It's supposed to be short-circuit evaluation, that means it must stop as soon as a false value is found, and the return value is the result of evaluating the last expression in the input.
That's why the (map pred lox) part will fail with the (andmap1 positive? '(1 -2 a)) example as soon as the a is reached, and anyway foldr will try to consume the whole input list - we don't want either of those things to happen.
With the above considerations in mind, plus the requirement of operating over multiple input lists, the solution changes quite a bit:
(define (andmap1 pred . lox) ; lox is a variable-length list of lists
  (let loop ((lst lox)) ; iterate using a named `let`
    (cond ((or (null? lst) (null? (car lst))) ; if the input is empty
           true) ; then the result is `true`
          ((null? (cdar lst)) ; if there's a single element left in sublists
           (apply pred (map car lst))) ; return pred applied to all
          ((not (apply pred (map car lst))) ; if current elements fail pred
           false) ; short-circuit and return `false` immediately
          (else (loop (map cdr lst)))))) ; advance recursion on all sublists

It works as expected:
(andmap1 positive? '(1 2 3))
=> #t

(andmap1 positive? '(1 2 a))
=> positive?: contract violation expected: real? given: 'a

(andmap1 positive? '(1 -2 a))
=> #f

(andmap1 + '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6))
=> 9

A: Here's another way you can write it, but note it doesn't have an early-exit behavior because foldl is used. As we can see, the implementation is made up of a combination of map and a folding of and -
(define (andmap f . ls)
  (foldl (lambda (x acc) (and acc x))
         #t
         (apply map
                (lambda xs (apply f xs))
                ls)))

(andmap positive? '(1 2 3)) ; #t

(andmap + '(1 2 3) '(4 5 6)) ; 9

Doctor Who 'Knock Knock' Review
Bill's on the search for student accommodation with a clinging Doctor who becomes very curious about an unnerving but beautiful house where the floorboards creak, even the walls.......
Writer Mike Bartlett delivers a raw, creepy and devastatingly emotional story which sees the Landlord feeding people to what The Doctor calls the 'Dyrads' (wood lice insects that work on a cellular level), becoming a part of the house itself.
This element instills the fear that makes this episode more horror based. The inclusion of the binaural sound adds a richness to the creaks and other spooky sounds, highlighting the importance of sound and its effects.
Bill's potential housemates don't provide enough depth to make them feel like fully realised characters. This may be because of the duration of the episode. There is simply not enough time to invest into their characters.
David Suchet's charming and sinister performance is undoubtedly mesmerising and emotionally powerful. The change from sinister wise man to a child who's afraid of losing his mother provides a charming and harrowing performance. His character explores the idea of a child who was too afraid to leave his childhood behind, causing him to make terrible decisions.
The concluding moments where the wooden lady turns out to be the Landlord's mother, not a daughter, is a sorrowful and harrowing plot twist, as she realises what her son has done to keep her alive.
The plight of the Landlord's pain and ignorance was fascinating and makes him one of the more deeply interesting antagonists of the series. Knock Knock was a spooky mystery horror house episode with classic scares and a beautiful flourish to the antagonist's story.

Three takeaways from Minnesota United's 2-0 loss at Sporting Kansas City

Minnesota United's players and staff offered postgame remarks suggesting a small moral victory could be taken from its 2-0 loss at Sporting Kansas City.
"There are levels of performance that you accept even when you lose games," MNUFC coach Adrian Heath said. "Tonight was one of those nights. We had the best chances. It is the oldest saying in football that goals change games. They scored at really important times. That was the disappointment because I don't think they had to work hard enough for their two goals."
"We can take some positives away from this game that we were more disciplined and we stayed more to the plan," added centerback Brent Kallman.
With Darwin Quintero absent due to a calf strain and facing second-place Kansas City at Sporting Park, the Loons' odds were long heading into the game. And there is some truth to the suggestion Minnesota put in a stronger showing than it had in previous trips to Kansas City.
However, each successive defeat sees the playoffs move further from the Loons' grasp, and moral victories may not be enough to placate its fan base for much longer — though a new soccer-specific stadium set to open in 2019 will surely support ticket sales next season.
Past assurances from the front office that MNUFC's entrance into MLS via a two-year residence at TCF Bank Stadium was not a soft-launch were given. A concerted effort has been made to support those assurances with the fairly regular offering of moral victories. Meanwhile, on-field results in terms of points-per-game have only improved by a tenth of a point, and Minnesota is on pace to miss the postseason again.
Looking at its most-recent defeat, here are three takeaways of note for the Loons.
Loons' lack of movement
A pair of sequences illustrated now much Minnesota missed the movement and workrate of its dangerman, Quintero.
Around the 22nd minute, organized defending by Kansas City forced Minnesota to pass back, out of the attacking third, in order to maintain possession. Twice the ball was circulated to Calvo, and twice the Costa Rican put his arms up as no Loons were moving to get open in front of him.
Calvo has rightly come in for a fair amount of criticism this season, but technical ability and vision, especially relative to the average MLS centerback, are not weaknesses of his. Heath's move from a 4-2-3-1 to a 3-5-2 has allowed Calvo to get involved with the Loons' attack further up the field, producing key passes that have lead directly to goals. But with a static attack in front of him for much of the night, the Loons were too easy to mark, and Calvo's range of passing was neutralized.
Later, in 59th minute, Ángelo Rodríguez made an impressive run through Kansas City's midfield, beating two defenders off the dribble, but was then forced to shoot from distance, straight into the arms of Tim Melia. Rodríguez's first instinct after the tame effort was to chide rookie Mason Toye for not making a run to either threaten goal himself or draw a defender away from the space into which Rodríguez had moved.
Minnesota was able to find more success attacking late, but that came once Kansas City was content to sit back in defense of a two-goal lead, and Heath had introduced a pair of pacy attackers — Abu Danladi and Romario Ibarra —to run at tired Sporting legs.
Minnesota finishing key
"It is the oldest saying in football that goals change games," said Heath. "They scored at really important times. That was the disappointment because I don't think they had to work hard enough for their two goals.
"We could not score when we had our opportunities, which was the disappointment. To keep the momentum for us in the game we need to take those opportunities when they arise."
Bemoaning his side's lack of precision, Heath was able to point to a number of scoring opportunities that went wanting.
Two of those opportunities fell to 19-year-old rookie Mason Toye. In the first half, Michael Boxall headed on a corner for Toye to half-volley but a quick leg from Melia intervened. In the second, a cross from Rodríguez curled just over the head of Ibson, allowing Toye to have a go in-stride, but the resulting shot flew well high of the crossbar.
Late in the game, Ibson struck the crossbar, and Danladi, Romario, and Rodríguez all forced saves from Melia.
Heath is correct in that there was a goal or two for the taking on Saturday night, but it can also be pointed out that Danladi's nine career MLS goals lead the quintet of players mentioned above.
It highlights the risk MNUFC took when trading away Christian Ramirez, as the Loons will need to find production from a trio of forwards looking to establish themselves as consistent MLS goalscorers. This isn't to say that one or more won't find their scoring boots, but even a short drought might be enough to finish off what playoff hopes the Loons have for 2018.
Thiesson returns
Defender Eric Miller was forced to exit the game in the 33rd minute with a yet-to-be disclosed leg injury, and was replaced by Jérôme Thiesson, The latter, recently recovered from a leg injury of his own, made his first league appearance since May 20 and had not featured in the Loons' previous 13 contests.
Pressed into duty early, the Swiss defender was called upon to put in an 60-minute shift at wingback.
"It's always nice to get players fit. It's been a really frustrating year for [Thiesson]. Obviously, he was blowing a little bit at the end. He's only had three or four days training with us. He'll be better for that and now we've got a good chance in the next two weeks to get a lot of work in, not only for him but for two or three others," said Heath.
Thiesson's return to fitness comes at an opportune time. While Minnesota has a couple weeks until it faces D.C. United, it remains to be seen if Miller will be available for selection. Additionally, captain Francisco Calvo will be suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
Absent Calvo against FC Dallas a week prior due to Calvo being sent off against LAFC, Heath opted for a back three of Brent Kallman, Michael Boxall and Tyrone Mears, flanked by the wingback pairing of Miller and Ibarra.
With Thiesson back in the fold, Heath is free to deputize Mears — or if healthy, Miller — to move inside and play as one of the outside backs in a three-man back line against D.C. United. Wyatt Omsberg would be another option, but Heath hasn't placed much trust in the centerback, with the rookie having logged just 173 minutes this season. The Dartmouth alumni is currently on loan with the USL's Tulsa Roughnecks, albeit with a recall clause.

Stanford Researchers Link Aquifer Overdraft to Arsenic Contamination
Jun 28, 2018 | FLUENCE NEWS TEAM
tupungato / 123RF
Researchers have established a link between aquifer depletion in terrains such as that of the Tulare Basin. When land in the basin sank more than 3 cm in a year, the chance of arsenic contamination as much as tripled.
In a recent study, researchers used satellite data to establish a link between excessive pumping from California aquifers and dangerous arsenic concentration spikes in the groundwater of the Tulare Basin. This promises to be an important early warning system for the growing problem of arsenic contamination, which potentially threatens drinking water for more than a million people. Arsenic cannot be detected by our senses but has been implicated as a causative agent in heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The study, "Overpumping leads to California groundwater arsenic threat," by Stanford researchers Ryan Smith, Rosemary Knight, and Scott Fendorf, was published in Nature Communications.
The Tulare Basin
The vast Tulare Basin is bounded by the Sierra Nevada range to the east, the California Coast Ranges to the west, the San Joaquin river to the north, and to the south, the feet of the Tehachapi Mountains, where the Edmonston Pumping Plant sends water nearly 2,000 feet up and over the Tehachapi range to supply Los Angeles County.
The basin is fed by the headwaters of large mountain reservoirs filled largely by runoff from snowmelt. The water is then stored in lower foothill lakes and distributed through an extensive canal network. Water is also brought in from wetter northern California by way of the California Aqueduct, the Friant-Kern Canal, and the Delta-Mendota Canal. Groundwater pumped elsewhere also finds its way into the Tulare Basin. Recycled and reused water is a small but growing part of the basin's water supply.
Water Shortages and Aquifer Depletion
Water supply levels are influenced by the amount of annual precipitation. Factoring in climate change, the growing population, and the explosive growth of almond and pistachio farming in the state, demand for water has been outstripping supply. The state is taking ambitious actions to prevent overpumping water from aquifers, but changes will take time, and with no other water supplies available the pumping continues.
Although both ground subsidence from excessive pumping and arsenic contamination of aquifers have been well documented, the Stanford researchers are the first to discover a link between the two. They analyzed arsenic concentration data from hundreds of wells during two droughts and compared them to 68 interferometric synthetic-aperture radar scenes from the ALOS PALSAR sensor from between 2007 and 2010. The researchers used the satellite estimates of ground subsidence to establish a correlative link between it and high arsenic levels in groundwater. When land in the Tulare Basin sank more than 3 cm in a year, the chance of arsenic contamination as much as tripled.
Source of Arsenic Release
In the Tulare Basin, layers of sand and gravel that are normally full of water are interspersed with layers of clay. The researchers have concluded that when the water pressure that buoys the sand and gravel layers is reduced due to overpumping, the sand and gravel layer begins to compress and squeeze arsenic out of the clay and into the drinking and agricultural water supplies. Clay in low-oxygen environments, such as the Tulare Basin, tends to release arsenic more readily under pressure.
On a positive note, when excessive pumping is abated, aquifers can recover as the arsenic is passed through the hydrological system. Study co-author Rosemary Knight, however, cautioned against relying heavily on this natural process because recovery rates may vary widely due to many variables in a region.
The primary significance of the study is that subsidence observed via satellite can now act as an early warning sign for dangerous arsenic levels in any aquifer that has layers of clay and sand, an arsenic source, and the low oxygen levels generally found in aquifers that exist under thick clay layers.

Léon Berben Sweelinck's keyboard works: were they perhaps played on clavichords?
Knowing that Jan Pietersz. Sweelinck's works for keyboard need a compass up to a2, whereas they need lower notes in the bass than the organ of his time could provide, it seems obvious that this music was played on the clavichord. Earlier hypotheses, suggesting that these pieces were played on harpsichords, make less sense, as harpsichords have many notes above a2. The 'clavichord-hypothesis' is supported by the fact that organists used clavichords to study their art by playing model compositions, written by their teachers or other composers, in order to learn how to improvise on the organ later on. This supports the idea that to understand the large 'organ works' that Sweelinck and other composers wrote, one must first understand how they taught their pupils.

Once apon a time there was a little girl named Jenny. She made a story and tryed to publish it. It was a very good story, and I do not know why it did not get published. She was going to give it to her friend Andrea for Valentine's Day. The story was about her and Andrea going to the park one summer day. She talked about what they did and they had fun. They went on the swings and went on the water slide. Then they went to Andreas house and had dinner. They had Macroni and cheese with straberry milk. Then Jenny asked if Andrea could sleepover. The next day they went to the plaza and went to hills. They bought the same pair of roller skates. They were 15$ a piece. When they got home they roller skated around the block 2 times. It was so cold Andrea got sick. Finally the book got published and she gave the first copy to Andrea. Andrea liked the book. The doctor said that she would not get well. She would die in a few days. Jenny said that they would always be best friends. Jenny said that if Andrea died she would die with her and if Jenny did not die with her nothing would be the same. Jenny I know that you would find another best friend.

Andrew Alliance Raises $14M From Top Life Sciences Industry Partners and Global Investors
Liquid Handling Robotics Company Closes Series C;
Will Fund Continued Innovation in Improving Lab Results and Repeatability
GENEVA (June 12, 2018) — Andrew Alliance S.A., the robotics company that is improving repeatability with an innovative approach to liquid handling with conventional laboratory pipettes, today announced a $14 million investment by several of the leading life sciences enterprises, including Tecan Group, the Waters Corporation, Inpeco, Rancilio Cube, Sam Eletr Trust and Omega Funds.
The C-round investment brings together a strategic mix of globally recognized life sciences market leaders, along with private equity investors and including existing investors.
"We are delighted to expand our team of investors and partners with the industry's most recognized companies," said Piero Zucchelli, CEO and a co-founder of Andrew Alliance. "It's particularly meaningful that both Tecan and Waters appreciate how we're making robotics accessible to more scientists."
The Tecan Group is the world leader for automated liquid handling solutions, and Waters has pioneered chromatography, mass spectrometry and thermal analysis innovations serving the life, materials and food sciences for nearly 60 years. Both companies are considered technology leaders in their respective fields.
"Andrew Alliance's robot changes the game for repeatability – and further improves our customers' operational efficiency," said Paul Tardif, senior director of corporate development at Waters. "The Andrew robots are extraordinarily affordable and solve a persistent problem. Our customers are eager for a ready-to-use solution like this."
In just four years, Andrew Alliance has become the leading choice for life science bench robotics. It's relied on by 18 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, the top four diagnostic companies and 16 of the top 20 of the world's leading academic research institutions.
Andrew Alliance's flagship offering is a family of flexible, software-driven robot models, each with a footprint about the size of a standard piece of paper. The robots work right out of the box and deliver absolute consistency in how liquids are measured and tested, using standard pipettes and consumables. Andrew performs its job within a few minutes of setup.
"Andrew Alliance's affordable benchtop robots using conventional pipettes are a new and complementary approach to Tecan's workstations, which help customers to automate a wide variety of laboratory workflows in research and clinical diagnostics," said David Martyr, CEO of Tecan.
Andrew Alliance will use the funds for continuous product innovation and strategic industry partnerships. It also will extend its close collaboration with customers worldwide to refine future offerings.
"Demand for better reproducibility continues to increase," said Otello Stampacchia, managing director and founder of Omega Funds, an early investor.

We May Not All Be Irish. But We Are All Fighters.
At Notre Dame, we're not afraid to fight for what we believe in.
Or, who we believe in: our students.
The Area's First Independent School. The Region's Only Catholic High School.
Notre Dame's commitment to exceptional education rooted in Christian values reaches back nearly 150 years. Our mission is not only to help students excel in academics, we also foster prayerful, value-based decision-making that keeps young adults of all faiths on the right path.
Never before has the competition for college admission and scholarships been more intense. Here, students gain an advantage in the fight. By keeping class sizes small, we enable our experienced staff to truly know their students, and better amplify their abilities. The proof this personal approach works arrives every year in the form of ACT results, admissions letters and scholarship awards.
Congratulations to all the hardworking students who made it on this quarter's Honor Roll!
News and reflections from ND President, George Valadie '71.
As always, there is a full slate of activities - both serious and silly - as we celebrate Catholic Schools Week.
Congratulations to students who made Honor Roll for the first semester!

Digital technology can push $20 billion sales opportunity: Report
According to Nielsen, purchases done by Indian consumers are more influenced by factors in its direct control.PTI | Updated: November 26, 2013, 12:08 IST
NEW DELHI: Enhancement of technologies is creating opportunities of incremental revenue for companies and by leveraging digital technology like internet, mobile, tablets and apps can get sales opportunities worth $20 billion, a report has said.
"Disrupting established brand behaviours by leveraging digital more often, using promotions and providing consumers with good experience can provide a $20 billion sales opportunity," says the report by said market insights and information provider Nielsen.
According to Nielsen, purchases done by Indian consumers are more influenced by factors in its direct control.
"In the FMCG space alone, 80% of shoppers will buy a different item than originally planned. Today's shoppers are empowered by choice and refine their decisions based on marketplace disruptions,"said Nielsen India executive director Adrian Terron.
The report further said that in the analysis it was found that more than half of the shoppers of the five segments had accessed internet as part pf their pre-purchase, decision making process.
The sector are -- FMCG, movie, travel, auto and loans. Terron further added that still the share of the e-tailing in the retain sector is very low and at nascent stage but "its opportunity is high and the gender gap is closing".
The reports further said that using promotions can also influence a sale of $10 billion.
The survey has found that for FMCG products, promotions influenced $34 of shoppers to make a bigger purchase than planned.
Providing consumers with a good experience can turn plans into purchases, it further added.
"A good deal can prompt consumers to buy more, buy earlier and buy different than otherwise intended," said Terron.
However, he added that the promotions need to be used tactically and strategically to cause disruption.

So you ask Mikaele Ravalawa to name three players from South Sydney, his rivals on Thursday night.
"Aaaaah," the Fijian says slowly, "no, I don't know.
You can't name even one Rabbitoh?
"Ummm," he stammers, eyes moving off and over your shoulder like, maybe, a name can be found out in the rain now falling on this overcast Wollongong Monday.
But it can't. Or not immediately.
Ravalawa sitting for the longest stretch of silence before, finally, a giant smile spreads wide on his face.
You mean British brothers Sam, Tom and George?
"Yes," the St George Illawarra rookie confirms. "Good players."
Seated now with League Central in the WIN Stadium grandstand - dressed down in black shorts, Dragons T-shirt and a pair of thongs - Ravalawa is finally giving the interview he asked club officials to delay until after his NRL debut, five days ago.
"But really, I wanted to wait until round 10," he grins. "I don't like doing media. Don't know what to say."
Still only 21, Ravalawa is the island flyer who has never watched a game of NRL.
Sure, he has now played the full 80 minutes. But never endured that long as a spectator.
Just as when meeting St George Illawarra officials last year, he didn't know head coach Paul McGregor.
Nor could he name a single Dragons player.
And as for his attitude to a game taken up only two years back?
"Then in defence, 'tackle hard'.
Born and raised in the tiny Fijian village of Galoa, Ravalawa can tell you of a childhood where he ate what the family grew, ran logs uphill for fitness and went to school barefoot, with only the one shirt.
"So every afternoon," he recalls, "I'd have to wash and hang it."
And when the washing and hanging was done, little "Mika" and his mates played footy with a coconut. Or if one lay about, a plastic bottle.
"We'd empty the water out," he recalls, "then smash each other."
And always, the game was rugby union.
Which resulted in some confusion three years back when Ravalawa, still a teenager - and having lived for a year in Christchurch as a Super Rugby hopeful - was approached by famed league scout Peter Mulholland, who appeared in Fiji with a Canberra contract.
NRL legend Noa Nadruku was unknown to Ravalawa.
Only problem was, Ravalawa didn't know Mulholland. Or the Canberra Raiders.
"So they try to tell me about Noa Nadruku," he recalls. "But I just said, 'Noa who?'."
You didn't know the original Fijian Flyer?
"I only knew Semi Radradra," he shrugs. "And Parramatta. I didn't know Canberra. Or Peter. They had to explain everything to me."
Yet once they did, the kid signed. And weeks later, he arrived in Canberra with nothing but a backpack.
"Which is a funny story," Ravalawa says. "One of the Raiders staff, they were at the airport to pick me up. And so after seeing my backpack, they took me across to that area where all the bags come out. Then, we waited …"
Together, watching patiently as, one after another, every suitcase was collected and that conveyor belt was emptied.
"So I asked the official, 'What are we waiting for?'," Ravalawa continues. "He said, 'Didn't you bring any other bags?'.
"He started laughing and we walked to the car."
Well, after an outstanding debut season in Canberra - where he earned Under-20s Player of the Year - Ravalawa was last winter demoted to bush footy after revealing his decision to switch clubs, representing Gungahlin against outfits such as the Queanbeyan Blues and Tuggeranong Buffaloes.
"Which was pretty easy," he grins. Or at least until joining St George Illawarra.
"Mika came here underdone," McGregor recalls. "And raw. Still, I liked what I saw.
"During our first opposed sessions, he was in the ISP squad and really bending our boys back with his carries."
And then in the trials?
"His form was irresistible," McGregor says.
All of which now has this Fijian playing in a competition he doesn't know.
"I've never watched NRL," he says. "Growing up, this wasn't my dream. I wanted to be a rugby player.
"Even now on television, I'll watch Super Rugby or sevens … but not the NRL."
So your reason for switching?
Like the money Ravalawa sends home each month to his parents, who have used said funds to build a kava plantation.
"They're also coming out to see me play," he adds. "Mum just needs a passport.
"Life is so different now. A dream."
Elsewhere, Ravalawa has not only improved his knowledge of Fijian league history - "Yes, I know the legend Nadruku now" - but also spent the past month bagging a trial double, winning a Dragons wing spot and making his NRL debut in the 24-12 loss to North Queensland.
Indeed, while so many of last weekend's headlines involved countryman Maika Sivo's own debut for Parramatta against the Panthers, Ravalawa quietly played while mourning those 50 souls killed in Christchurch, his home in 2016.
"Where the shooting happened, it's near where I lived," he says. "My homestay mum, she posted some stuff.
"It makes me sad. So sad."
Yet despite carrying a heavy heart into the Townsville clash, Ravalawa still ran for 145m, more than any other Dragon, while also busting seven tackles - one better than even Jason Taumalolo.
At training, he also sits among the club's best three gym lifters. Some going for a fella who, until a couple of years ago, would simply run sandbags and logs uphill to improve strength.
"Strong as a bull," McGregor insists. "And while he's quiet, Mika isn't shy. He's comfortable with his talent.
"Becoming a real student of his own game, too."
But as for knowing which Rabbitoh will oppose him at Jubilee Oval? Which centre is on his side?
Anyone at all beyond The Burgess?
"Ah, no," Ravalawa grins. "I don't know anyone."
