Wolverhampton Wanderers: State of the Union Address
Say what you will about Mick McCarthy as a football manager, but there are two things that cannot be said against the man; Firstly, that his players always play for him, they always 'put a shift in'. And secondly, that he is capable of making distinctly average players perform to the very best of their potential. Lamentable and naive as his tactics may appear – 4-4-2, direct, high-tempo – McCarthy has long been able to take players of apparent average ability, put them in a team format make them look better than they are. That the likes of David Edwards, Kevin Foley, Stephen Ward, Richard Stearman and Christophe Berra were able to spend two full seasons enjoying a semi-comfortable existence in the Premier League before being found out was testament to the manager who led them. But alas, as always seemingly happens with McCarthy at Premier League level, his tactical and transfer market skills – or lack thereof at that level – were once more found to be wanting.
In the end, Wolves and McCarthy needed to separate. He did a job that was nothing short of miraculous, such was the state of the club he inherited in 2006. But in the final months of his reign, the supporters vitriol threatened to sour his legacy. That he was sacked when he was, means he is still warmly regarded, for the large part, around Molineux.
The Terry Connor experiment came next, and shouldn't be dwelt upon. He inherited a side low on confidence, bottom of the table, one which was down and all but out. He couldn't stop the slide, nor did supporters expect him too. They could see, despite declarations to the contrary from the man himself, that he wasn't up to it. Despite his proclamations that he was his own man, he proved to be a poor man's McCarthy. Nothing changed really.The sacking of the former Ireland boss and the promotion of Connor was the management equivalent of losing 20 pence but finding a penny.
Then came the summer and the hiring of Stale Solbakken, hugely successful in Denmark with Copenhagen, not so much with FC Koln in Germany. Fans rejoiced, whether they knew who he was or not. Someone new, someone not tainted by last seasons failure. With him would come fresh ideas, a fresh style. New tactics in a new division. He'd need time to acclimatise, to remove the deadwood who had overperformed under McCarthy for so long, and to put his stamp on the team, but once he had…Rejuvenated, Wolves would rise. Surely. Maybe. Perhaps. Hopefully.
SOLBAKKEN SO FAR
Solbakken's ideas and tactical intricacies have over the course of the season become easily identifiable. Playing to a clear plan, it's noticable how control of the football has become the order of the day. Centre-backs trying to work the ball out of defence wherever possible rather than looking to simply clear their lines. Full-backs pushed wider looking to act as outlets, stretching play in the initial phase. Whereas last season's wide-men, messrs Kightly and Jarvis were orthodox wingers who got the proverbial chalk on their boots, this season's incarnations have been more inverted wide midfielders, looking to not only stretch opposing defences and offer width in the final third, but also trying to find space between the lines in central areas through the middle of the pitch. Central midfielders look to hold position – rather than chasing relentlessly all over the park – both guarding against counter-attacks from the opposition and attempting to dictate the tempo when in possession. One striker looks to drop off his partner, looking both to help out in midfield, but also to act as an available option as soon as possession is regained – a number 10 if you will, despite Wolves not having a recognisable number 10 on the books.
A clear philosophy it is. A philosophy that the players laud publicly and say they are enjoying working towards. A philosophy which the manager says the players enjoy. But a philosophy which most certainly isn't working.
The latest loss, 1-0 to high-flying Millwall on Tuesday night, has depressingly encapsulated Wolves season in microcosm.
For the opening 45 minutes, Solbakken's Wolves controlled the game. They played with composure, patience and controlled proceedings. However, come half-time, there was absolutely nothing to show for it. Not because of a lack of effort, as the yells of some supporters on the terraces would have you believe, for the effort had been there in abundance throughout the half. But instead, because the players on the field, had once again simply not proven good enough to execute the philosophy of its manager.
Try as they might, the Wolves XI couldn't make even the slightest dent in a Millwall defence which appeared there for the taking from the first minute when Kevin Doyle slipped by Danny Shittu in the left-hand channel. Wanderers dominated possession, which suggests that the flaw isn't with the philosophy of the manager, but rather with the players trying to implement it.
The strikers worked tirelessly, but weren't strong/quick enough to force opportunities themselves, nor clever enough to drop into holes and pull defenders out of position, thus creating space for others. Whisper it quietly, but what Wolves fans wouldn't give for another Henri Camara, someone who could both drop in the hole and beat a man to open things up, or who could stretch opposing defences with blistering pace. (Bloodyhell, what some wouldn't give for another Chris Iwelumo, someone to be in the middle looking to get on the end of crosses.)
The wide midfielders made decent moves down their respective flanks, but were unable to choose the correct moments to drift in-field to receive passes between the lines, thus opening up overlaps for the full-back and creating 2v1's in central areas. The individualist Sako attempted to create something out of nothing on a couple of occasions, but his inability to use his right foot was soon worked out by the opposing full-back Adam Smith – on-loan at Millwall from Spurs – negating his strength. He ended up running down cul-de-sac's more often than not. Jermaine Pennant, once a jet-heeled winger who played in a Champions League final and caused Gianluca Zambrotta, then one of Europe's finest full-backs, problems with his speed and trickery, is now a shadow of his former self, apparently incapable of troubling his full-back whether going in-field or on the outside.
The two holders, David Davis and Dave Edwards, whilst capable of passing the ball between themselves and back to defenders, were incapable of finding an incisive pass. Not that there weren't opportunities, but simply because they either: a) lacked the self-confidence to try it, or b) simply lack the vision/technical skill. Not once in an entire 45 minutes did they split the Millwall midfield with a vertical pass – be it over five yards or twenty – into a strikers feet, chest or playing them through on goal. Nor, and unusually for Edwards, did they back up play or get into advanced positions particularly effectively either.
Full-backs made good initial moves, but too often either played the safe ball backwards, or aimlessly tossed the ball into the penalty area. Stearman looked every inch a centre-half playing out wide.
In the second half came what Solbakken has since described as the worst 45 minutes since his arrival:
"The second half was probably the worst we have done this season, we were nervous and it was very untidy and very poor.
"We couldn't get hold of the ball, we kicked it when we should have kept it and we kept it when we should have kicked it.
"We looked nervous, we looked disorganised and not like a football team and we have to be honest about that."
It simply is not hard to disagree. Confidence seemed to drain from the players with every passing minute and a fear seemed to strike the side; the fear of making a mistake. And as any footballer or professional athlete will tell you, when such a fear takes hold, the game is up. You simply can't win if you are only thinking about failure. And whilst no-one was hiding, no-one exactly rolled their sleeves up and demanded more. On-field leadership, perhaps Johnson apart, was lacking.
Passes went astray with increasing regularity, poor decisions were made, especially in defence; Berra and Johnson as individuals are both solid defenders who would be assets to any team in the Championship, whilst Johnson is by some distance Wolves most vocal player. But as a partnership, and in conjunction with Ward and Stearman, the Wolves defence is simply mistake-ridden, and increasingly look as though they don't enjoy playing together – they are four individuals rather than one unit. As a whole the side lost its foothold in the game and allowed their visitors to see more of the ball, gradually in more dangerous areas. The crowd only served to transmit more misdirection, their displeasure at the sides inability to create opportunities lending itself to "Get it forward" calls, rather against the philosophy the manager is trying to instill.
As such, it was no surprise when Millwall took the lead – the Wolves defence at sixes and sevens from a routine long ball – nor when they comfortably saw the game out with it still in tact, the goalkeeper David Forde having not been called upon to make a save worthy of the name.
Boos rung around the ground at the final whistle and the first real showings against the manager, with shouts of "Solbakken go home" and "P*** off Stale" heard.
But is the way forward via the sacking of another manager? For as I mentioned earlier, the philosophy that he is trying to lay down appears to be a solid one, and it certainly looked as though with more cutting edge and creativity, it would have done for Millwall, the divisions form side, within 45 minutes.
Unfortunately, whilst the philosophy is there, the players simply aren't of the required quality to put his instructions into action.
Passing out of defence is all well and good if it's Pique and Puyol. But whilst Johnson has a bit of composure about him, Berra's passing is erratic at best and seemingly always kills the sides momentum whenever he receives possession. Edwards and Davis in central midfield take too long to make decisions, get caught in possession and, as previously mentioned, cannot make an incisive vertical pass – The return of Tongo Doumbia, who cleverly dictates play from his anchor role, will help in this regard. Pennant lacks the non-stop vertical running ability of Peszko, who although not the greatest technical footballer, makes clever movements and is a nuisance to defenders. The strikers, though hard-working, simply don't look like scoring goals, given both their inability to impose themselves on opposing defences – due largely to a lack of physical presence – and a lack of quality service. Burnley's Charlie Austin has 21 goals (all comps) already this season. Wolves as a team have scored just 24.
When all is said and done, Wolves are a broken team. Still suffering from a hangover to last season, when losing became a habit, a number of players aren't playing anywhere near their potential, the side currently aren't scoring goals or creating chances – a major concern, but considering the clubs three most potent attacking players were sold for almost £28m in the summer, it is almost understandable – and are allowing sides to score without doing anything particularly special to do so (Guedioura apart). Throw in that fans appear more disillusioned with the club than ever before – except perhaps during the reign of the Bhatti's in the 80s, but then disillusionment for that era would certainly be the wrong adjective – and the manager, trying to implement his own ideas that aren't already ingrained in the psyche of the players/fans is almost certainly on a hiding to nothing. Even moreso with results having gone the way they have in previous weeks.
WHERE TO NOW
Well quite simply, it's one of two ways.
Stick with Solbakken, his mantra of patience, possession and control and see if he can turn things around. The club have shown their willingness to back him in the transfer market by laying out £3m to make Tongo Doumbia's loan-deal permanent in recent weeks, and hopefully will do so once more in January, bringing in players who can do what he wants them to do, thus making the side more potent.
Or sack the manager and start a new, with no guarantee that the new mans ideas will be taken on board any quicker than the current incumbent. Additionally, throw in that after this trip into relative obscurity, it would most likely be a 'safe' appointment of someone who is always touted for jobs whenever they become available, like Curbishley, Ince or even McLeish.
Everyone will have their opinion, one way or the other. For what it's worth, mine is to give the new man time. He appears intelligent and from his words, seems to know why things are the way they are, and looks to be in it for the long haul. Thus far he has seemingly made his decisions with the long-term in mind, rather than just short-term fixes. He has had six months to take in all the information at the club and to assess the playing staff from top to bottom. The next six months will be where he makes changes and when we can see where the club is truly heading.
The club is in transition following the mistakes of the hierarchy last season, and fresh ideas take time to bear fruit. Although the side are struggling and I, like a number of likeminded supporters, don't believe results nor performances have been good enough, I do feel that by utilising resources, and allowing the manager to have the finances he deems necessary, the club can come out of this dark period stronger than when we went into it. It won't happen overnight. But it will happen
Out of Darkness, Cometh Light.

Good article. Wolves losing game after game causes me a large amount of pain. But of course he should be given time – but it will take far more time than most fans realise
Stale says:
It take time for football method to be implemented, something alien to Wolves for decades. If they wish to join the better clubs the need for patience has never been greater.
The Liverpool passing game has been taken on board by most clubs, but go to the like of Wolves and you hear Gerit Forward rather than allow the players to build through midfield.
Trevor Mosses says:
Much as I think. Giving this lot a final chance b4 new money. I want him to get us playing for the premier not the championship

Pulitzer Prize Winner Seymour Hersh: Obama Lied About Chem Attacks To Justify Strike On Syria
Not a bombshell to us here, as we reported on rebels having sarin, and Kerry not being truthful about the chemical attacks here. But nice to have some in MSM catch up.
Via Yahoo:
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh has dropped yet another bombshell allegation: President Obama wasn't honest with the American people when he blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for a sarin-gas attack in that killed hundreds of civilians.
In early September, Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States had proof that the nerve-gas attack was made on Assad's orders. "We know the Assad regime was responsible," President Obama told the nation in an address days after this revelation, which he said pushed him over the "red line" in considering military intervention.
But in a long story published Sunday for the London Review of Books, Hersh — best known for his exposés on the cover-ups of the My Lai Massacre and of Abu Ghraib – said the administration "cherry-picked intelligence," citing conversations with intelligence and military officials.

Looks like there are 2 unresolved bugs on issue tracker for 4.21.2 (UE-68762 and UE-67250). Are we going to see 4.21.2 hot-hotfix #2 ?
There are no immediate plans for a third hotfix and fixes will be scheduled for 4.22.
Any news on the progress and potential release version of Virtual texturing? Also which release will see Niagara out of beta stage, hopefully a utility tool will be provided to convert Cascade particles to Niagara.
not sure if I'm at the right adress here, but I have submitted a bug and written a thread about the landscape not contributing to the global distance field - and therefore not being usable for the distanceToNearestSurface node in the material editor. Didn't find any response of the unreal dev team towards that bug, that it is known or will be fixed or something else, so I thought I write in here to see if you guys know about it.
As it seams that there will be no new hot fix, when does the issue get adressed? Probably when releasing 4.22, which I assume can take one or two months more.
...Didn't find any response of the unreal dev team towards that bug, that it is known or will be fixed or something else, so I thought I write in here to see if you guys know about it.
If you've submitted a bug report from the form, then the support team will review and provide a response. If they are able to reproduce the issue, they will create a Jira ticket and provide you a link to track the status of it.
I recently upgraded to 4.21.2 and my 'Event OnEndViewTarget' is no longer triggering when I close my PIE session or any in-editor testing.
Has anybody else had this issue? Is there a setting or workaround? Or should I submit a bug report?
Is that a custom event you created or something in the engine?
i can't find "Debug Canvas in Layer" under the rendering tab or in other tab in 4.21.2... it's been removed?
Having trouble running a steam dedicated server with 4.20+. Steamworks says (pertaining to development builds) to create a steam_appid.txt in the exe location with your appid. Doing this with 4.19.2 worked fine...Steam API initialized fine for a dedicated server without the need of the steam client running in the background. But for 4.20+ Steam API failes to initialize. I'm currently trying to debug the engine code (Online Subsystem, et al.) to find out what changed caused the halt.
Is there any chance Epic will do an improved Roadmap the current one on Trello is abandoned almost?
It doesnt even have to be full feature plans just major versions aproximate dates and biggest feature.
I concur. For some masochistic reason, I keep checking the Trello roadmap about twice a week, even though it hasn't been updated in months now (latest update dates: November 18 and October 22). Either start updating it properly or close the whole thing down. Because right now, the engine versions are being updated more often than that roadmap is.
Just to make a point about how bad the things are, this post was made exactly a month ago. Since then, UE had an hotfix update and new version preview, and the Trello roadmap still hasn't received a single edit since November 18—full three months ago. Fix it or get rid of it. For anyone who doesn't follow UE's development closely, it looks like abandonware; and for anyone who does, it offers no useful information whatsoever.
Maybe when you guys make the announcement about 'hotfixes' you could TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION? It means nothing to me, just random info without the MEANS TO MAKE USE OF IT,.
--- There was a VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY CRASH in 1987. TOO MANY **** GAMES, PEOPLE LOST FAITH, THEN INTEREST. THAT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN, We have seen the same 3 darn games and over and over for 30 years,... I haven't gotten excited about a game since frigging,.. 'The Journeyman Project' LOL LOL HaHa! WHY OH WHY CAN'T EPIC GET ON THE BALL< Bug fixes are GREAT!
I WOULD PAY FOR THE ABILITY TO ASK A QUESTION WHEN I HAVE ONE AND NOT WAIT 3-DAYS FOR A NON-ANSWER. But that just doesn't seem to be a possibility. CERTAINLY they have NO ONE at he Answer or Forum that works at Epic, there are endless simple questions unanswered for 1, 3 even 5 years,.

Does anybody know how to FORCE this (what I have been told is "automatic") update/Hotfix 4.21.2 to go ahead and UPDATE or HOTFIX?
Assuming you have used the Epic Games Launcher for your initial installation of the Unreal Engine 4.21, updating to Hotfixes follows a similar method.
You may immediately notice the yellow button that normally says "Launch" now says "Update". If so, just click it.
Otherwise, click on the "Unreal Engine" option on the left sidebar, and then click on the "Library" option on the top bar.
You should see your 4.21 engine slot here. If it is not already listed as 4.21.2, then it should give you the option to update.
Found the problem...the SteamServerInit was failing, I needed to copy the steam dlls into the exe location to fix...perhaps there is a more proper way to fix that I'll research later. Didn't have to do this for 4.19.2.
Nice to see the authentication stuff working from the log. I'm curious as to how that works. Is it that the client generates the auth ticket from the user who has access to the game on steam, then the server will generate an auth ticket for the user wanting the join and checks it's ticket with the one sent from the client and if they match then the client can join? Is it something like that? I'm curious to test it using a user with the game package running with the steam client in the background who does not have permission for the game (i.e. has not bought it) to see if the ticket will get rejected from the server in that case.

Indie Music Album Reviews
Nick Varvaro - Sunday Songs
Nick Varvaro
self-released; 2016
By Andrew Westberry
At twenty-five years of age, Nick Varvaro is a rising singer/songwriter from Nebraska City, Nebraska. He has been playing guitar and writing songs since he was a child, but Sunday Songs, released in December of 2016, is his debut project.
Each track on the album features two guitar tracks playing complementary harmonic parts, and Varvaro's voice is layered with melody and harmony. With the addition of piano, each song is simple in terms of instrumentation, yet Varvaro succeeds in infusing the songs with original creativity and a catchy, enjoyable atmosphere. The album's opener "Strange Behavior" quickly lands upon a pulsing waltz-like rhythm that continues throughout the entire tune.
"Roman Soldiers" has a more light-hearted, bright feel with a head-bobbing, swinging beat and unconventional chord progressions that lead the listener steadily through a series of verses and choruses. The next track "Tired, Pointless Crook" is propelled at lightning-paced speed by piano chords and both strummed and fingerpicked guitar with calm vocals floating above the rest of the soundscape.
Highly melodic and thought provoking alike, "For Now" reads like a poem, drawing the listener close with creative lyrics and subtle picking patterns that alternate between simple and complex. Exploring the folk-tinged genre even further, "1950s Agony" and "A Ridiculous Form of Torture" exhibit the far reaches of the spectrum from bright and cheery to ominous and solemn.
Although the vocal arrangement does not change in "Great American Rebels" the notes from the guitars and piano are allowed to reverberate ever so slightly more than they do in other songs, bringing a fuller sound to this beautiful song. Varvaro's musical courage is highlighted in "Saint Sebastian" as he rejects traditional chording choices, instead branching out and forming his own unique progressions.
The album comes to an end with the slightly eerie, catchy "Cruel Bones" and "No Sin in Looking Prosperous," the longest track on the entire record and a musical portrait of light and joy. Overall, Nick Varvaro's Sunday Songs is a powerful testament to his seemingly innate ability to draw upon elements from a popular genre, then to transcend convention and produce fantastic, novel music.

When most people hear about air pollution, what comes to mind is the image of industrial facilities churning out smoke in volumes. As a homeowner, air pollution doesn't sound like an issue that should bother you. After all, don't you have the best ventilation system in the market? Well, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a shocker for you because it says indoor air can be 100x more polluted than the worst air outside.
This is shocking considering homeowners value their homes as sanctuaries where they can escape from health hazards such as pollution. The safety level of your home's indoor air quality (IAQ) determines how healthy your family will be. Your pets will also be affected if there is full of contaminants. This is a good reason to look at the best technique to clean up the air in your house.
While you might have the best ventilation unit in your home, research shows that older technologies don't work effectively. These systems work by circulating air between the basement and the upper levels of your house, which means they essentially distribute pollutants around. If your family members are constantly falling ill, it is time to invest in the all-new EZ Breathe™ moisture control system.
The EZ Breathe™ system works through air exchange where fresh air from outside is drawn in and older polluted air is driven outside. The fresh air circulates through the house thus boosting indoor air quality in every area of the living space.
Unlike an ordinary air ventilation unit, the EZ Breathe™ delivers more efficiency by reducing mold and mildew growth in the basement, controlling humidity and dampness in the basement, removing musty odors and boosting the quality of indoor air. This high performance level is made possible by the high number of air exchanges daily (6 to10), which eliminates any pollutants that might still be present in the indoor air.
This system is easy to maintain and saves you lots of money that would have been used in repairs and filter changes. You will also get a 10 years warranty with the unit, which is good proof of the confidence the manufacturer has in the system.
The versatile function of this air cleansing system makes it perfect for a modern home with a basement. You will not only make your basement more habitable but also improve the indoor air quality in the overall house.

Explore The Great Barrier Reef Inside A Giant Gas Tank
A 360-degree panorama might just inspire conservation action
By Alexandra Ossola
Tom Schulze © asisi
There's an ocean inside an enormous gas storage tank in Leipzig, Germany. For the past 12 years, artist and architect Yadegar Asisi has been operating the space as a platform for his large-scale panoramic works. The art is projected onto the structure's cloth-covered walls, which are 100 feet high and 360 feet in circumference.
The result is a to-scale panorama that overwhelms and immerses the viewer. And while creating experiences on this scale has been interesting for some of Asisi's past projects, it could be critical for the Great Barrier Reef, the subject of his newest work.

Right now, corals all over the world are dying at an unprecedented rate, and their disappearance could hasten the destruction of one of the planet's most diverse ecosystems. Catching a prolonged glimpse of such a productive reef is getting increasingly difficult—and, unless we take drastic action to slow the pace of global warming, it may someday be impossible. Though Asisi doesn't explicitly express a conservationist perspective to the art, it's not hard to imagine that it could have that effect—his work can elicit awe and respect in viewers who have never seen a reef up close, and might just inspire them to take action toward saving it.
Asisi's work will be on display until September 2016.

As part of the member-driven reforms to the infractions process, the Division I Committee on Infractions has established operating procedures that provide committee members and the NCAA membership with a roadmap for how it reviews and decides cases. Once housed in the NCAA rulebook as administrative rules, the operating procedures describe how the committee completes its work.
These procedures, authorized by membership rules and approved by the Division I Board of Directors, provide an explanation to member schools and involved individuals before and during a case. The procedures also provide the committee a formal, yet flexible, method for hearing cases and allow the committee to respond to issues that arise during resolution of alleged violations.


We take a look at RAA's road-safety priorities and which political parties have shown their support ahead of the state election.
"Road safety isn't a political issue. Improving people's safety on our roads should receive support from all parties," said Penny Gale, RAA General Manager Engagement and Innovation.
Here are our four priorities and the latest on what each of the parties have committed to. Read on below for more information on each.
We're calling for a Safety Camera Commissioner that would act as an independent regulator of speed and red light cameras in South Australia, overseeing their placement and operation. We suggest the position could be funded from the Community Road Safety Fund.
ALP: SA Labor has announced a new role within the Motor Accident Commission (MAC), which will be responsible for reviewing safety cameras. This was part of the updated Road Safety Action Plan. RAA will seek further clarification from MAC about how this role will work.
SA Liberals: If elected, they'll conduct an audit of speed cameras in the first 100 days of office to make sure cameras are operating for safety purposes and not to raise revenue. While RAA's happy with this commitment, it doesn't go as far as we'd like it to.
Greens: Agrees our proposal has great potential to improve the public's acceptance of safety cameras, particularly where there is a strong suspicion that safety is a secondary consideration to revenue-raising.
SA Best: Supports the appointment of an independent Safety Camera Commissioner to oversee the management of the system and act as independent arbitrator.
Dignity: Supports the initiative of a Safety Camera Commissioner in South Australia.
Australian Conservatives: Supports the proposal of a commissioner to oversee the integrity of the system and to act as an independent regulator of speed and red light cameras in SA to make sure cameras go where they are needed.
An upgrade is needed between Gawler and Clare to improve safety on Horrocks Highway, including the installation of four additional overtaking lanes, roadside barriers and rumble strips to reduce the risk of motorists running off the road.
ALP: It's been identified as a short-to-medium priority (1-15 years) in the Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan. In 2017/18 and 18/19 financial years, the South Australian Labor Government has committed $3.5 million for the upgrade of 13 kilometres of the Horrocks Hwy south of Yacka. This commitment doesn't address the section we're most concerned about, which is from Gawler to Clare.
SA Liberals: Candidate for Frome Kendall Jackson has supported RAA's proposal, while Opposition transport spokesman David Pisoni has said getting started on upgrading the Horrocks Highway will be a priority of a Marshall Liberal Government.
SA Best: Nick Xenophon's party says regional roads like Horrocks Hwy will be budgeted and appropriately costed, along with ongoing maintenance plans.
Greens: Supportive of measures that improve road safety.
Dignity: Acknowledges the need for road improvements to be made and supports this proposal.
Australian Conservatives: Says it's supportive of upgrading all state roads and would look to address this via its 'Royalties for Regions' policy, with 35% of mining royalties to be put back into regional areas for important projects like infrastructure improvements.
Independent: Sitting Independent MP Geoff Brock has pledged to make Horrocks Highway upgrades the key bargaining chip for any party seeking his support to form Government following the State Election.
We want Victor Harbor Rd to be duplicated to Mount Compass, along with an increase in the width of the road south of Mount Compass, and the inclusion of centre barriers to mitigate head-on crashes.
ALP: For Victor Harbor Rd, the sitting government's Integration Transportation and Land Use Package identified duplication between Old Noarlunga and McLaren Vale as medium-term target, with duplication through Mount Compass identified for the longer term. More targeted road widening/shoulder sealing, overtaking lanes and other safety improvements are identified for the short, medium and long terms.
SA Liberals: Supports upgrades to regional roads via their 'Royalties for Regions' scheme, but no specific commitment to Victor Harbor Rd.
SA Best: Backs the duplication of this notoriously dangerous transport corridor, saying it's long overdue.
Greens: Supports this initiative, acknowledging that this corridor has experienced considerable growth in traffic and this is likely to continue into the future.
Dignity: Says our proposal is a sensible part of a solution to reducing the significant number of crashes on Victor Harbor Road.
Australian Conservatives: Recognises how important it is to upgrade and duplicate this section of road.
RAA is asking for a commitment of $400,000 per year to enable Street Smart Primary to be available to every school in SA with a primary enrolment.
ALP: Has committed to ongoing funding for Street Smart Primary to ensure it can be delivered to every South Australian primary school.
SA Liberals: There has been no specific commitment to expanding Street Smart Primary. Instead, the Liberals have said they are always open to discussions with RAA around initiatives to improve education and a future Marshall Liberal Government would work closely with all stakeholders around potential programs.
SA Best: Supports the expansion of the Street Smart Primary so that more students can benefit from learning these life-saving skills early.
Greens: Says road-safety education is absolutely critical in helping keep kids safe, and welcomes any measures that give kids skills to navigate safely through our suburbs and towns is welcome.
Dignity: Supportive of the program being rolled out across South Australia.
Australian Conservatives: Believes road-safety education saves lives and creates a safer environment for all road users.
As well as these four key priorities, a number of parties showed support for better fuel price transparency last month – an initiative RAA's long been calling for. Read more here.


Looking for a racing shoe that's purposely designed for speed? Then the Mizuno Wave Hitogami 2 Ladies Running Shoe is exactly what you need.
Mizuno have constructed a running shoe that is both lean enough for racing and also, stable for the faster running sessions. Using nature to research the impact of waves and how they handle impacts, the shoes are able to handle the pounding of the streets and roads, driving forces away from the foot, putting less strain on your ankles and feet with every stride.
The G3 Sole is a new feature within the running shoes, predominately for performance, with the outsole focusing on traction and reducing weight at the same time. The Air Mesh helps maintain a cool feeling, along the foot and letting them breathe, adding longer life so you can get more out of the shoes. Apply this to the Intercool system, which uses a ventilation channel and prevents heat and humidity built-up that is collected when training, and you have a solid, all round racing flat that helps you perform.
The unique U4ic midsole, provides a wonderful ride due to the cushioning that fans of the Mizuno's AP+ midsole may know about, except that now it's 30% lighter and doesn't discourage performance nor comfort. An addition of the X-10, supplies more durability, letting you take on the harsher conditions and environments of running while adding much more longevity mile after mile.


Rising rap star MYSTIKAL missed his own New Year LOS ANGELES show at the weekend, arriving at the venue 20 minutes after the audience had left.
Mystikal, who went straight to Number One in the US album charts with debut album 'Let's Get Ready', had been due to play at the Staples Centre at 12.02am on Monday morning (January 1) but didn't get to the venue until 1.20am.
A spokesperson for the rapper arrived at the centre between 11pm and midnight on December 31 explaining that Mystikal was at nearby hotel after arriving late in Los Angeles when his flight was delayed due to bad weather.
A problem appears to have arisen when the spokesperson demanded the outstanding balance of Mystikal's appearance fee. He had been given a deposit before arrival but demanded the balance before showing up. Finley refused to pay until Mystikal appeared at the Staples Centre in person, and was assured he would soon be there.
Mystikal's no show for his 20-minute set left the stage empty and silent for half an hour.
Mystikal has yet to comment.
Also performing on the night were Destiny's Child and Ideal.
Meanwhile, Mystikal was left confused and furrow browed following a spoof interview on UK television broadcast last night (January 2). He was the main guest on 'Daisy, Daisy' in which the interviewer Daisy Donovan (a former presenter on Channel 4's '11 O'Clock Show', which also produced Ali G) pretended to be a dizzy English reporter travelling to the US in a bid to win the attentions of Mystikal.

Hawkins Supports Ban on Fracking, Full Funding of School
Posted: October 13, 2014 2:30 PM
(Newburgh, NY) Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for Governor, came to Newburgh today to discuss his opposition to fracking and the need to fully fund schools.
Hawkins said that the one televised debate for the Gubernatorial candidates next week in Buffalo was unfair to voters, who deserved the opportunity to fully hear from the candidates about their different visions for improving the state.
Hawkins is at 9% in the polls, and has been picking up endorsements from teacher and education groups, and more recently, from several Democratic clubs.
"The polls show that this has become a three-way race. People want change, better jobs, higher pay, more support for local schools. They are tired of being told that they can only choose between two parties that favor the very wealthy over working families," noted Hawkins.
Hawkins said that a tour last week of fracking sites in Pennsylvania reinforced for him the need to ban fracking in New York State.
"I have long called for a ban on fracking because gas is just another fossil fuel that contributes to global warming. But when you drive through communities that are experiencing fracking, and you hear and see the wells and truck traffic, you talk to people living nearby, it highlights why no one should have to live near a fracking well," said Hawkins.
"Cuomo has been telling voters that he will make his fracking decision based on science, but his actions have made it clear that he really means science fiction," added Hawkins.
While Cuomo has held off on giving the green light to the use of fracking for natural gas, his administration has pushed forward the construction of the infrastructure that supports fracking, including pipelines and storage facilities. His administration has also permitted fracking waste from Pennsylvania to be disposed of in New York, something even pro-fracking Astorino signed a law to prohibit in his own Westchester County.
Hawkins' Green New Deal would deal with the growing problem of global warming by transitioning New York to 100% clean renewable energy by 2030. Renewable energy is far more a jobs program than fracking. A study by Stanford and Cornell professors showed that if New York converted to 100% clean energy by 2030, 4.5 million middle-class jobs would be created. In contract, studies of job creation is states that have fracking, such as Ohio, showed only a slight increase in jobs.
While both Hawkins and his Republican opponent have raised concerns with the Common Core, Hawkins is a strong proponent of public education and claims his two main opponents support privatization of the school system. Hawkins and his Lt. Governor running mate Brian Jones, a school teacher in NYC for 9 years, have been endorsed by a number of teacher and parents organizations, as well as well-known education advocate Diane Ravitch.
Funding provided the Cuomo administration has been $9 billion less than required by court orders, leading to deep cuts in teachers in Syracuse and elsewhere. The state share of education funding has fallen to its lowest level in 65 years. Hawkins also wants to end segregation in the state's school system, which is the worst in the country. This requires increased public investment in affordable housing and anti-poverty programs.
"I want to fully fund public schools. We need to end the property tax cap and the Gap Elimination Adjustment, which has balanced the state budget on the backs of our children by cutting state aid to schools for the last five years. We need to stop competitive grants for school funding, which puts the poorer school districts at a further disadvantage. Many classrrooms are overcrowded. That's hurting children's education. Politicians are blaming teachers instead of themselves for these conditions," Hawkins continued.
"Policies supported by the Democratic and Republican parties in this state are creating a dual school system: separate and unequal. Cuomo's high-stakes testing regime is failing the underfunded schools and teachers of low-income children in order to privatize the schools as charters and downgrade the teaching profession. This agenda won't do anything to improve education for our students who have the greatest needs. It just punishes them for having those needs," Hawkins added.

Q: Sharing external module/function between own classes Question about sharing 'functions' between classes.
Situation:

*

*All my own code is in 1 file

*I'm using python-daemon to daemonize my script

*That uses a class (Doorcamdaemon) to initiate and run.

*It imports another class (Doorcam) which has a looping function

*I'm using a sample script for the daemon functions, and it shows how to use the logging module.

The logging works from the main part of the script and in the Doorcamdaemon class, but not in the Doorcam class.
class Doorcamdaemon():
    def __init__(self):
        #skipping some content, not related to this issue
        self.Doorcam=Doorcam()

    def run(self):
        self.Doorcam.startListening() #looping function

class Doorcam
    def __init__(self):
        #skipping somecontent, not related to this issue
    def startListening(self):
        while True:
            logger.info('Hello')

app = Doorcamdaemon()
logger = logging.getLogger("DoorcamLog")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s")
handler = logging.FileHandler("/var/log/doorcam.log")
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(handler)

daemon_runner = runner.DaemonRunner(app)
daemon_runner.daemon_context.files_preserve=[handler.stream]
daemon_runner.do_action()

The error returned is:
$ ./Doorcam.py start
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./Doorcam.py", line 211, in <module>
    app = Doorcamdaemon()
  File "./Doorcam.py", line 159, in __init__
    self.doorcam=Doorcam()
  File "./Doorcam.py", line 18, in __init__
    logger.info('Doorcam started capturing')
NameError: global name 'logger' is not defined

So my obvious question: How can I make it work in the Doorcam class as well?

A: Try moving the line
app = Doorcamdaemon()

to after the lines that create and set up logger. The traceback is telling you:

*

*logger doesn't exist in line 18 where Doorcam's constructor tries to use it

*Doorcamdaemon tries to construct a Doorcam at line 159 in its own constructor
So you can't create a Doorcamdaemon if logger isn't defined yet.
Some of the content you omitted in Doorcam.__init__ was related to this issue :)

Trump has long relied on his children in business. Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric all hold executive positions at the Trump Organization, working in side-by-side-offices a floor below their father's.That same family-driven model has extended to politics. Trump's children now play a central role in his campaign, occupying much of his inner circle and assisting him in decision-making. When his plane was grounded with mechanical delays just as Trump was working to settle on his running mate, he flew them out to join him in Indiana to spend time with the state's governor, Mike Pence, his ultimate choice.


Over two thousand busy mummy bloggers already jostle for attention on the British Mummy Bloggers social networking site and as if their voices were not loud enough, the whole thing is about to be rebuilt and relaunched with video footage at the forefront.
To kick things off, site founders Susanna of A Modern Mother and Jen of Jenography invited a critical mass of twenty five established mummy bloggers to attend a video workshop in London, learn to use a Kodak Zi8 pocket video camera and upload footage to the new BMB video site.
I was honoured to be included in such a fabulous group of ladies… and guess what – we get to keep the toys.
The new British Mummy Bloggers' site will be regularly setting conversation topics for people to respond to on film. Thus far I've found editing film of recipes a bit longwinded and dry to work with so I'm planning mini documentary style numbers that don't take me too long to make and don't demand too much of your time to watch.
Our cameras were about the size of a Blackberry with just five buttons on the front to adjust settings, delete, record/navigate and switch between record and play mode. Also in our kits was a mini tripod that screws into the base for hands free recording and various wires to play stuff back on the TV or upload to the computer.
Everyone was up and running immediately as you'll see in this 2 minute film below. The only disadvantage I've found with this handset is that it doesn't have an alternative lens on the same side as the screen like my iPhone – hence the first clip chops off most of my face. For authenticity I left this in. I felt very self conscious chattering to a camera even though everyone else was preoccupied doing the same thing.
My heart sinks when I click on vids that are much over 2 minutes long so the ones you find here should be pretty short and sweet. I'm acutely aware how tedious some internet video can be so hopefully I'll soon master a few snappy editing tricks in iMovie and bring you a fairly regular stream of quick films that are fun to watch.
With thanks to Susanna and Jen of British Mummy Bloggers who organised the day and Kodak who provided us with the cool cameras.
Oooh I wasn't expecting to see myself when I popped in to say hello! Lovely to meet you and to meet your blog now too. Enjoyed the vlogs and still salivating over the Raymond Blanc food you cooked.
Shame I live in Northumberland really! Sounds like a brilliant course to be involved with.
Was nice to meet you there, I could see my hand in your clip 🙂 I'm still struggling with software!
I enjoyed your rough cut and the why I blog bit, you come across very natural. And your boy's so cute, he looks just like you!
So great to see you there and I LOVE your video, especially the credits.
Thank you Susanna, I was delighted to be there!


It has been said that in today's organisations survival is optional. One of the keys to survival is having the right people trained to peak performance at the right time.
Tomorrow's Master Trainers will also be performance consultants, facilitators and internal change agents. They will have to be designers of 'instant' learning experiences. They will have to deliver and perform with enthusiasm and professionalism in training courses and sometimes facilitate change sessions with sensitivity.

Термін .32 rimfire відноситься до родини набоїв якими заряджали револьвери та гвинтівки наприкінці 19-го та на початку 20-го століть. Ці набої зазвичай випускали у короткому та довгому варіантах, але пропонували екстра короткі, довгі гвинтівкові та екстра довгі варіанти.

Виробники
Виробники в США, в основному, припинили виробництво набоїв .32 rimfire вступу в 1941 році у Другу світову війну. Набої продавали зі старих запасів протягом кількох років, але це робили періодично протягом останніх 70 років. Інколи для колекціонерів роблять лімітовані випуски набоїв .32 rimfire, але зараз набій не є серійним. Navy Arms Company періодично імпортувала набої .32 Rimfire Long зроблені CBC в Бразилії до 2014 року.

Історія
Набій .32 short було розроблено в 1860 компанією Smith & Wesson для свого револьвера Model 2. В 1868 році вони розробили набій .32 Long для револьвера Model 1 Second Issue.

Набій .32 Short стріляв свинцевою кулею вагою 5,184 г зі швидкістю 288 м/с (створюючи дулову швидкість в 21 Дж) при стрільбі з гвинтівки з довжиною стволу 61 см. Набій .32 Long стріляв дещо важчою кулею вагою 5,832 г з приблизно схожою швидкістю та дуловою енергією 241 Дж. Гвинтівки Remington під набій .32 rimfire мають діаметр стволу .

Набої .32 Short та Long кільцевого запалення за своїми параметрами співпадали з набоями .32 Colt Short та Long центрального запалення; важільна магазинна гвинтівка Marlin модель 1892 поставлялася з двома бійками, одним для набоїв кільцевого запалення, а інший для набоїв центрального запалення, що дозволяло використовувати як набої кільцевого так і набої центрального запалення. Револьвери та однозарядні гвинтівки під довший набій .32 rimfire можна заряджати та стріляти коротшими набоями.

Remington Arms випускала набої .32 Extra Short (також відомі як .32 Protector) до 1920 року для використання в пістолетах Protector Palm Pistol та Remington Magazine Pistol.

Під час використання набій .32 rimfire заряджали димним порохом, а потім сумішшю бездимного пороху та бездимним порохом. Хоча набій і був дуже популярним для полювання на дрібну дичину, наприкінці 1930-х років його визнали застарілим, частково через появу високошвидкісної версії набою .22 Long Rifle з бездимним порохом.

Shockingly Bad Unemployment News Is Great News for Disney+ and Netflix
September 23, 2020 UTC: 1:54 PM. May 7, 2020 UTC: 1:51 PM. by Mark Emem
The U.S. unemployment rate is expected to rise dramatically with the release of April's job report.
Tight budgets will force Americans to turn more towards affordable at-home entertainment options such as streaming services.
Netflix, Disney+ and other streaming services are some of the likely beneficiaries.
The coronavirus pandemic has caused massive job losses, with unemployment set to surge to double-digit levels.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expect a loss of 21.5 million jobs in April, pushing the unemployment rate to 16%.
The devastating job losses will be good news for streaming services, though. The two market leaders in terms of overall subscribers–Disney+, and Netflix–have the most to gain.
Why high unemployment will boost online streaming services
During the Great Recession, when the unemployment rate peaked at 10% in October 2009, a trend towards at-home entertainment was evident with Americans dedicating more time to watching TV.
Weekly hours spent watching TV rose in 2009, according to Deloitte. At the time, over 33% of Americans ranked watching TV as their favorite media activity–a sharp increase from the year prior when the economic downturn was relatively less severe.
During the last financial crisis, online video streaming wasn't anywhere near its current popularity levels. By September 2019, 74% of U.S. households had a video streaming service.
Record high unemployment will likely translate into more profound subscriber growth for the major streaming services.
The most affordable form of home entertainment?
But won't subscription fees deter people who've lost their livelihoods or had their incomes cut substantially? The experience with pay television during the Great Recession suggests otherwise.
According to Jessica Insalaco, former VP of Dish Network, people were looking for entertainment during the last major recession:
People really value their TV subscriptions as their primary form of entertainment. We're seeing more and more people looking for deals, looking for ways to save money. … This is one thing that people hold on to, even though they may cut down pieces of it.

Additionally, the subscription fees are arguably cheaper than other forms of entertainment. With monthly subscription fees as low as $7, streaming services are more affordable than eating out, going to a movie theater, attending a concert, and so on.
Are Netflix and Disney+ recession-proof?
If the stock market is anything to go by, streaming services will weather the economic downturn even after the coronavirus pandemic is over.
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), for instance, has outperformed the broader stock market. Since the year started, Netflix is up 33% while the S&P 500 is down by around 11% over the same period.
Netflix surged to a new all-time high in April. | Source: TradingView
There's no doubt that Disney+ would be doing equally well if it was a standalone stock separate from its parent company Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS). The House of Mouse's other business units (cruise lines, theme parks) have been battered by the coronavirus pandemic.

In recent years there has been a fairly high level of digestive system cancer, which tends to increase. This remains a topical issue in modern medicine. Often one of the causes of cancer is impaired tyrosine kinase activation processes, which regulate the different stages of growth and proliferation of cells. Therefore, a promising trend in modern medicine is associated with targeted highly selective medicinal products, in particular membrane tyrosine kinase inhibitors characterized by high antitumor activity and lower toxicity as compared with traditional cytostatics. Medicinal products in this class include dihydropyrrole derivative (D1) іn silico synthesized at Research and Production Biochemical Center of Taras Shevchenko National University as targeted inhibitors of protein kinase, which due to the spatial structure of the molecule interacts with the ATP-binding centre of tyrosine proteinkinases and is their effective blocker. Since the cytotoxic effect of the medicinal product D1 has been demonstrated on the transformed lineand cancer cells, it is said to be a potential compound for use in clinical practice.The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of dihydropyrrole derivative (D1) on the rectal mucosa of rats compared to the traditional chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The studies were conducted on 90 white mongrel male rats with an average body weight of 90±108 g. The rats were housed understandard environmental conditions (23±1°C,55±5 % humidityand a 12-h light: 12-h dark cycle) and maintained with free accessto water and a standard laboratory diet ad libitum The study was conducted in accordance with the generally accepted bioethical standards of humane treatment of laboratory animals, in accordance with national and international regulations on carrying out experimental tests ("European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes" (Strasbourg, 1986), "General Ethical Principles of Animal Experiments", adopted by the First National Congress on Bioethics (Kiev, 2001). The effect of dihydropyrrole derivative (D1) at different doses, and its comparison with 5-FU effect on the morphological and functional condition of the rat colon were studied in the setting of short exposure (14 days). The test substance was administered daily on an empty stomach.D1 at the doses of 2.3 mg/kg (conventionally effective), 11.5 mg/kg (5-fold the effective dose) and 23 mg/kg (10 times the effective dose) was injected dissolved in sunflower oil containing 15% DMSO (0.1 ml in total) per os, which, under the conditions of complete absorption, creates blood concentration of 10-4M, 5x10-4M and 10x10-4M respectively. 5-FU was administered intraperitoneally at the doses of 0.86mg/kg, 4.3 mg/kg, 8.6 mg/kg (conventionally effective), which, under the conditions of complete absorption, creates blood concentration 10-4M, 5x10-4M, 10x10-4M respectively, and 45 mg/kg (-fold the effective dose). Control animals received oil containing 15% DMSO (0.1ml in total). Thus, the state of the ascending colon mucosa of rats exposed to increasing doses of the protein kinase inhibitor, pyrrole derivative 5-amino-4-(1,3-benzothiazole-2-yl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1,2-dihydro-3Н-pyrrol-3-one (D-1) compared to antineoplastic 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been studied. It has been found out that the dihydropyrrole derivative has no damaging effect on the colon of rats, whereas the administration of 5-fluorouracil causes marked mucosal lesion of the ascending colon.

New EU Energy Commissioner will seek to swap petro-dollars for petro-euros
Petroleum Review; 11-10-2019
The incoming new European Union (EU) Energy Commissioner has pledged to increase the role of the euro in energy markets, instead of the US dollar, writes Keith Nuthall. Former Estonian Minister for Economic Affairs and Infrastructure Kadri Simson, then responsible for her country's energy policy, is expected to assume her new EU role on 1 November 2019, when a new European Commission takes office.
In a written response to questions from the European Parliament, which is vetting her appointment, Simson said she would 'work to increase the use of the euro in energy markets, given that, despite the EU being the world's largest energy importer, roughly 85% of EU imports are currently paid in dollars'.
Unsurprisingly, a mission letter sent to Simson from incoming European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed how she wanted Simson to make the EU energy sector more sustainable. And she will have to respond to an early policy move that will be undertaken by Frans Timmermans, the proposed Commission Executive Vice-President for the 'European Green Deal' – an overarching policy of the von der Leyen Commission, which will serve until 2024. Timmermans has been charged with proposing a green deal plan within 100 days, which will increase EU carbon reduction targets to at least 50% by 2030, up from the current 40% reduction target.
In her note to MEPs, Simson said she would 'assess the role of gas, including decarbonised gases like hydrogen, in the transition towards a climate-neutral economy'. At the same time, she would 'assess how sources of natural gas supply can be diversified at competitive prices'. In her mission letter to Simson, von der Leyen said this should 'in particular [make] full use of the potential of affordable LNG'. Simson added that she would help review the EU energy taxation directive to drive climate neutrality and end fossil-fuel subsidies. She would also help design an EU 'carbon border tax', imposing duties on imports made with high carbon emissions.

NICODEMUS Penguin Figurine
Ceramic penguin figurine by Nicodemus Pottery offers a humorous piece of art to the collection and is part of a larger set of three. Glazed in matte, representational finishes, each penguin is marked with original stickers titling them as "Pessimist", "Optimist", and "Investigator". The Nicodemus stamp is placed on the bottom of each ceramic figure. Three available in the set, each sold separately, as is. About the Artist: Chester Nicodemus (1901-1990) was a Columbus, Ohio potter, sculptor, and teacher known for his small clay birds, as well as other wildlife, teapots and pitchers. His pieces are recognizable as being produced with variously colored translucent glazes, which enhanced the redness of the high iron content of Ohio clay to create a russet brown undertone. Nicodemus earned a degree from Cleveland Art School and then went on to teach at Dayton Art School and Wittenberg College. In 1932, he became dean at the Columbus College of Art and Design and later taught at Ohio State University and served as president of the Columbus Art League. All of Nicodemus' molds and glazes were destroyed upon his death at his request. This ceramic figurine is amongst hundreds of pieces of art that are available at our location in Grandview!
