In this paper, a novel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme, which is called OFDM with index modulation (OFDM-IM), is proposed for frequency-selective fading channels. In this scheme, inspiring from the recently introduced spatial modulation concept for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels, the information is conveyed not only by M-ary signal constellations as in classical OFDM, but also by the indices of the subcarriers, which are activated according to the incoming bit stream. Different transceiver structures are proposed and a theoretical error performance analysis is provided for the new scheme. It is shown via computer simulations that the proposed scheme achieves significantly better error performance than classical OFDM due to the information bits carried in the spatial domain by the indices of OFDM subcarriers.

Get Back to Your Roots
The Jewish People must remain connected to supernal holiness in order to sanctify the secular.
'When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, "If I have found favor in your eyes, please place your hand under my thigh [and swear] that you will do me a genuine act of kindness: Please do not bury me in Egypt.' (Gen. 47:29) Joseph personified the ideal of elevating lower reality…
Jacob knew that Joseph would want to bury him in Egypt so that his merit could protect his descendents there. On a deeper level, Joseph knew that having Jacob buried in Egypt would enhance the ability of his merit to help the Jewish people fulfill their purpose for being there - to bring divine consciousness into lower reality. G‑d had told Jacob (46:4): "I will descend with you to Egypt" (Gen.46:4), so as long as Jacob remained in Egypt, even after his death, G‑d's presence would be manifest there. Since Joseph personified the ideal of elevating lower reality, he saw burying Jacob in Egypt as a way to help the Jewish people to fulfill this ideal in the best way possible.
Jacob, however, personified the ideal of being above unrectified reality. This is why, even in Egypt, he settled in Goshen, a separate district that was removed from Egypt proper and its decadent society. He did not want to be buried in Egypt, for he realized that in order for the Jewish people to eventually leave Egypt, they had to maintain some connection to the higher reality, which they could hold on to and lift themselves out of their lower context. As the sages said: "A prisoner cannot free himself from his prison", meaning that someone on the outside has to do it. By being buried in the Holy Land, Jacob would serve as a reminder to his descendants that they were rooted in something higher than Egypt and did not really belong there. We do not belong in our present state of exile…
Since he realized that this perspective was antithetical to Joseph's, he made him swear that he would not bury him in Egypt. Jacob was rooted in the world of Atzilut proper, and thus was too sublime to descend into the impurity of the lower worlds, represented by Egypt. Joseph, in contrast, though also rooted in Atzilut, embodied the ability of Atzilut to descend and elevate the consciousness of the lower worlds.
The lesson for us here is that no matter how good our life may be, both materially and spiritually, we must always remember that we do not belong in our present state of exile. We must stay true to our Divine calling, to hasten the coming of the Mashiach and usher in the final Redemption.

Manual Wheelchair, Companion/Caregiver or a Transport Chair Rentals.
A Transport Chair is designed to only be propelled by another individual and is sometimes referred to as a companion chair. Transport chairs have four small wheels instead of two small and two large. They come in different widths and weight capacities and are usually the same basic frame as a standard manual wheelchair. The biggest advantage of a transport wheelchair is that it is very light weight (around 18-19 lb) and very portable.
A Lightweight Manual Wheelchairs are the most frequently used wheelchair. The wheelchair weighs around 35 lbs. without the foot rest or elevating leg rest, have a seat width and depth between 16 and 20 inches, and have fixed or detachable armrests. They have of two small and two large wheels which are around 24" in diameter. Almost all standard wheelchairs can support up to 300 lbs.
lightweight wheelchairs covers a wide range of needs and uses. They also come in aluminum or titanium and weight around 19 lb. Ultra Light weight wheelchairs are available on request.
Elevating leg rest are available for $10.
A Baicriatr Manual Wheelchairs are for individuals weighing over 250 lbs. The seat width starts from 22" and weight capacity of up to 600lbs. Comes standard with swing away leg rests and removable desk length padded armrests. Double-embossed vinyl upholstery is durable, easy to clean and flame retardant.
Additional options that could be bought are gel seat cushions, foam cushions, lumbar support and Wheelchair trays. Please call and inquire about your requirements and we'll be glad to help you in whatever way possible.
A Reclining Wheelchair greatly improves the comfort factor of being in a wheelchair. Many scenarios such as lying down, reclining under desks, and eating with food trays are much easier.
Pressure Sores– The ability to recline helps distribute body weight and reduce pressure sores.
Edema and Circulation– Wheelchair users who have edema in their legs benefit greatly from reclining. It helps improve circulation and the natural flow of nutrients throughout the body.
Transfers– Transferring from a reclining wheelchair to a bed is much easier than the standard wheelchair. The wheelchair can be adjusted to the same elevation as the bed; the user only needs to slide from the chair to the bed.
Hypotension– Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure. In many cases, elevating the feet reduces the symptoms of low blood pressure.
Bladder and Bowel function– Reclining is also beneficial for bladder and bowel function. Certain forms of catheterization are also easier in a reclined position.
Comes standard with a pair of elevating leg rest.

Coach Jackie Jones and the Hanna-Elk Mountain-Medicine Bow High School (HEM) track team got 20 miles outside Rawlins before discovering the Big Piney Track Invitational was canceled due to weather in the western part of the state.
"It is the risk you take," Jones said when she decides which invitations to accept. She does like to mix it up for her team when it comes to meets, so the track team gets exposure to many athletes in the state.
"Big Piney is a quality meet where people there take care of the athletes–so the team was disappointed it got canceled," said Coach Jones, who has been training teams from HEM close to 20 years. Her assistant coach also happens to be her husband, Cliff Jones.
"I focus on running, hurdling and relays. Cliff concentrates on field events," explained Coach Jackie Jones about the delineation of how the team is managed.
Coach Jackie Jones says the Miners track team's favorable outcomes is due to the kids that come out and practice in the unstable Wyoming weather. She is hopeful the Rawlins Invitational will not be hindered by inclement weather this Friday. Most Carbon County track teams are expected at the event.
Her senior girls are Cheyenne Tomkins and Cheyenne Hunter.
Tomkins, who tore her ACL last year and re-injured it in practice this year, is still running events.
"She may not be able to jump this season, for which she has been All State, but she is a tremendous all-around athlete," said Coach Jackie Jones.
Hunter is the top returning thrower in the shot put and discus and is a mentor to the younger girls said Coach Jackie Jones.
McKenzie Finn, a sophomore, is also a returning shot put and discus competitor who is a hopeful to do well.
There are no juniors on the girl's track team, but the sophomore class has strong mid-distance runners in Taylee Widdison, Jessica Nelsen and Cloe Olsen. The three sophomores, along with Tomkins, are a part of the 4x400 and 4x800 meter team.
A goal this year is to beat the 4x800 school record, which has the head coach on that record team.
Megan Hunter and Kiley Jones, both freshmen, are newcomers to the program and will participate in field events.
On the boys' track team, senior Jarrett Neimark is returning as one of the best jumpers in state. With his specialization in the triple jump, he might do some sprinting and relays, but Coach Jones will have him focus on jumping.
Brandon Scott, another senior, was part of the state champion 4x800 relay team last year. He is trying different events this year to see where he will stand out.
Kyle Solaas, a junior, will be running the distance races, but Coach Jackie Jones is looking to let him compete in other events.
The thrower for the boys team in shot put and discus is sophomore Tyler Goodro and early practices are showing him especially strong in the shot put according to Coach Jackie Jones.
There are three freshmen new to track. Alex Claice competing in mid-distance events. Conor McGraw will specialize in the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles. Conor can sprint, do long distance and throw says the head coach. His twin brother Shane McGraw will be focused on the triple jump, 200, 400 and 800-meter events.
Coach Jones says it is still early in the season and some kids could surprise her with their abilities as she watches them progress. She said no matter what the season brings, Coach Jones feels she is training a special group.

Trennt Michaud (born August 22, 1996) is a Canadian pair skater. With his skating partner, Lia Pereira, he is the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb bronze medallist and 2023 Canadian national bronze medallist.

With his former skating partner, Evelyn Walsh, he is the 2022 Four Continents bronze medallist and a three-time Canadian national silver medallist. Walsh/Michaud also won the 2017 Canadian national junior title and competed at two World Junior Championships, achieving their highest placement, fifth, in 2017.

Personal life
Michaud was born on August 22, 1996, in Belleville, Ontario, Canada.

Career

Early career
Michaud started learning to skate in 2004. He competed on the novice level at the 2013 Canadian Championships, placing eighth in men's singles and second in pairs with Judith Murtha-Anderson where they were coached by Lisa Conley and represented the Prince Edward County Skating Club.

His partnership with Hope McLean began in 2014. They won the junior pairs' title at the 2016 Canadian Championships and were sent to the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. They withdrew from Junior Worlds after placing thirteenth in the short program. They were coached by Alison Purkiss and Scott Rachuk in London and Komoka, Ontario.

Partnership with Walsh

2016–17 season
In 2016, Michaud teamed up with Evelyn Walsh, coached by Alison Purkiss and Margaret Purdy in London, Ontario. Making their international debut, they placed eleventh at a Junior Grand Prix (JGP) competition held in late September in Tallinn, Estonia, and fifth the following month at a JGP event in Dresden, Germany. In January 2017, they won the junior pairs' title at the Canadian Championships and were named in Canada's team to the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei. Competing in Taiwan, they placed sixth in the short program, fifth in the free skate, and fifth overall.

2017–18 season
In the 2017–2018 season, Walsh and Michaud participated in two events on the Junior Grand Prix circuit, winning the bronze medal at JGP Riga Cup and placing fourth at JGP Croatia Cup.

Competing as a senior pair at the 2018 Canadian Championships, they placed fifth overall. At the 2018 World Junior Championships, the pair placed fifth in the short program, sixth in the free skate, and sixth overall.

2018–19 season
Competing as seniors internationally in the 2018-19 season, Walsh/Michaud made their debut on the Challenger series at the Nebelhorn Trophy, where they placed seventh.  For the Grand Prix series, Walsh and Michaud were initially assigned to 2018 Skate Canada International and subsequently added to the 2018 Skate America event following the withdrawal of the Chinese team of Li/Xie.  They placed eighth at Skate America, following rough programs where Walsh fell five times, but fared better at Skate Canada International, finishing in fifth place.

At the 2019 Canadian Championships, Walsh/Michaud placed second in both programs, winning the silver medal behind Moore-Towers/Marinaro.  Walsh, commenting on their struggles at their first two competitions that season, said, "we do truly believe everything happens for a reason."  Michaud remarked that their expectations had changed considerably from the previous season when they were happy to finish fifth.  They were assigned, alongside Moore-Towers/Marinaro, to compete at the Four Continents and World Championships.

Competing at Four Continents, they were in sixth place after the short program but fell to seventh overall after finishing eighth in the free skate with a performance that included an aborted lift.  At the World Championships, they placed twelfth.

2019–20 season
For their free program, Walsh/Michaud worked with retired Canadian pairs champion Eric Radford as choreographer.  Walsh/Michaud made their debut at the 2019 CS Finlandia Trophy, where they placed sixth.  At the 2019 Skate Canada International, their first Grand Prix assignment, they were eighth.  At the 2019 Rostelecom Cup, they were fifth in the short program with a new personal best.  Seventh in the free skate, they were sixth overall.

Following the conclusion of the Grand Prix series, Walsh and Michaud consulted with 2014 Olympic pairs champion Maxim Trankov to improve pair elements, in particular their triple twist lift.  Skating at the 2020 Canadian Championships, they placed third in the short program, less than a point behind second-place Ilyushechkina/Bilodeau.  Second in the free skate despite some under rotations on their jumps, they won their second consecutive national silver medal.  Walsh called it"the peak, I think, of our season so far, and this is exactly where we wanted to be at this point."

Walsh/Michaud placed sixth at the 2020 Four Continents Championships, again ahead of Ilyushechkina/Bilodeau.  Consequently, they were afterwards assigned to Canada's second pairs berth at the 2020 World Championships in Montreal.  However, the championships were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

2020–21 season
After the initial lockdowns, Walsh and Michaud were among the elite athletes who were cleared to train through future lockdowns. Walsh/Michaud were assigned to the 2020 Skate Canada International, but this event was also cancelled as a result of the pandemic.  The team was scheduled to participate in the virtual Skate Canada Challenge in December, but Walsh sprained her ankle and was off the ice for two weeks, causing them to miss the filming period.

Despite this, on February 25th, Walsh and Michaud were announced as part of the Canadian team to the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm. They placed twelfth at the World Championships.

2021–22 season
Walsh/Michaud's outlook heading into the Olympic season was complicated by the decision of their erstwhile choreographer, former World champion Eric Radford, to return to competition alongside new partner Vanessa James. With only two Canadian pairs berths available for the 2022 Winter Olympics, there was projected to be a fight amongst the top three Canadian teams. Walsh said, "anyone can come back into a sport. It's nothing against them. At the same time, we feel we're in a position to earn that Olympic spot, and that's what we're chasing this year."

The team was scheduled to debut competitively at the 2021 CS Autumn Classic International but withdrew after Walsh came down with a chest infection that required two courses of antibiotics as treatment.  At their first Grand Prix, 2021 Skate America, they placed eighth of eight teams. They were sixth of seven teams at the 2021 NHK Trophy, their second assignment.

At the 2022 Canadian Championships, Walsh/Michaud greatly improved on their performances earlier in the season and took the silver medal with second-place finishes in both segments. With Moore-Towers/Marinaro taking the gold medal, it was perceived that the choice for the second berth on the Canadian Olympic team would come down to Walsh/Michaud or James/Radford. The latter had withdrawn from the championships after placing fourth in the short program, having had limited training in the preceding weeks due to both skaters having COVID-19. The following day, the Canadian federation named James/Radford to the second spot. This choice was controversial, with many arguing that Walsh/Michaud had earned the assignment.

Walsh/Michaud were assigned to compete at the 2022 Four Continents Championships in Tallinn, where they placed second in the short program, taking a silver small medal. They dropped to third place in the free skate after jump and lift errors, winning the bronze medal overall. Michaud said afterwards that they had "been skating so well and training so well, and we're just disappointed that we couldn't fully show all of that today."

While the team's season was originally meant to be over, longtime training partners Moore-Towers/Marinaro withdrew from the 2022 World Championships due to Moore-Towers' mental health, and first alternates Walsh/Michaud were activated. As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Skating Union banned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from competing at the World Championships. As well, the Chinese Skating Association opted not to send athletes to compete in Montpellier. As those countries' athletes comprised the entirety of the top five pairs at the Olympics, this greatly impacted the field. Walsh/Michaud placed eighth in the short program, sixth in the free skate, and sixth overall. Their placement, combined with the bronze medal for James/Radford, earned Canada three spots at the next year's championships.

End of partnership
Walsh and Michaud had been assigned to compete on the Grand Prix for the 2022–23 season, but on August 5, it was announced that she had decided to retire and focus on her university studies, while Michaud would seek to carry on with a new partner.

Partnership with Pereira

2022–23 season
Following a search, Michaud formed a new partnership with singles skater Lia Pereira. They made their competitive debut at the Skate Ontario sectional qualifier in November, winning the gold medal. Pereira/Michaud went on to win the final national qualifying event, Skate Canada Challenge. Pereira said afterwards that they were "just growing together, and each competition is a new learning experience." Shortly after that, they were assigned to make their international debut at the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb. Fourth after the short program, they rose to third place in the free skate, winning the bronze medal and securing the international minimum scores to compete at future ISU championships.

Pereira/Michaud attended their first Canadian Championships, an event that was noteworthy as Pereira opted to continue competing in the women's event as well. They placed fourth in the short program, 1.01 points back of third-place Laurin/Éthier. They rose to third place after the free skate, winning the bronze medal, despite Michaud making errors on both of his jumping passes. He said he was "a little upset with myself" for those mistakes, but added there were still "lots of positive outcomes." They were named to the Canadian teams for both the 2023 Four Continents and World championships.

At the Four Continents Championships in Colorado Springs, Pereira/Michaud placed fourth in the short program with a clean skate. They were fourth in the free skate as well, the only error being Michaud doubling their planned triple Salchow. They both indicated that they were pleased with how the competition had gone, as they continued to gain experience.

In media
Walsh and Michaud worked on the Netflix series Spinning Out, serving as skating doubles for leads Kaya Scodelario and Evan Roderick.

Yesterday one of the world's leading and most experienced cruise companies had a big day.
celebrated its 145th anniversary on April 18.
14 ships, more than 400 ports of call on all seven continents, and more than 16 million travelers that have sailed with HAL throughout its history – it sounds impressive, doesn't it?
It all began in 1873 when the Netherlands-America Steamship Company was founded. The company was headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It provided transportation to the Americas. That's why it changed the name to Holland America Line.
In 1895, HAL offered its first vacation cruise. Today this company is deservedly considered one of the world's leading premium cruise lines, and it is not complacent. This year, the company will greet its newest representative, Nieuw Statendam that is expected to join the HAL's fleet in December.
Let's check the beautiful liners that used to serve Holland America Line or continue to serve it now!
We congratulate Holland America Line with its anniversary and wish it many groundbreaking liners and exciting adventures ahead.

[Vol.124] SUPERACCORDIONLIVE@MATERA
coba - Yasuhiro Kobayashi
In October 2019, I had the honour to participate in the 8th Edition of the International Fadiesis Accordion Music Festival organised by the Fadiesis Musical Association, which took place in Matera, the European Capital of Culture 2019.
The Fadiesis Musical Association was established in Pordenone (Italy) in 2008 and its objective has always been promoting education, art and culture. It has been cooperating with the city of Matera since 2011, thanks to business and private relations.
For the 2019 Festival Edition, the artistic direction relied upon a unique combination of highly prestigious musicians and innovative contents. Numerous Japanese artists were involved, with whom Fadiesis had already started long-lasting and effective cooperation.
My band and I have been invited to the Fadiesis Accordion Festival in Matera for the second time already. This time I participated as one of the main figures, together with the support of EU-Japan Fest.
This year's topic was "Matera Meets Japan": it undoubtedly was a special opportunity to enhance the institutional and cultural relations between Italy and Japan. Several Japanese artists indeed performed on the main stages of the Festival in Matera.
In addition to my concert, many other events starring Japanese artists were organised, i.e. the Accordion Ensamble from Kyushu, an orchestra composed of musicians accurately selected by the Art Director and Maestro of the Festival Gianni Fassetta, during a master class in Japan in the Spring of 2019; the Fukuoka Sinfonietta Strings Ensemble, who created a bridge between Italy and Japan thanks to the co-performance with the Fadiesis strings and the Solisti Lucani strings. The concert took place on Thursday 10th October 2019 in the Sanctuary of San Francesco da Paola. It was the first event of the Festival carrying the title of Strings Ensemble. For the occasion, three extremely young Japanese accordion musicians, Aoi Uegata, Naomi Okabe and Yumiko Tanaka, performed as solo artists, in a trio and were finally accompanied by some strings of the Fukuoka, of the Matera and of the Pordenone Ensemble, all directed by Maestro Keisuke Ota, a violinist who has been collaborating with The Fadiesis Musical Association for years. It was an important multicultural event of great artistic value, as it saw arrangements and adaptations of pieces belonging to the Western and Eastern world.
A concert combining traditional Japanese folk songs, with their characteristic sound and harmonic pattern, gained particular success because of the great diversity with the traditional Western Classical music. The concert was sold out.
I introduced to the Festival organisers a group of 30 female voices from Nagoya, a choir born in 1994 in the Tokai Region (Nagoya), The Rainbow Chorus Aichi, directed by Maestro Hatsune Miki. The organisers were very pleased to invite the choir to the 2019 Edition of the Fadiesis Accordion Festival. They performed on Saturday 12th October at 11.30 am in the Chiesa del Purgatorio Nuovo Church. They sang folk songs belonging to the Japanese and Italian, Mediterranean repertoire to bring together the East and the West thanks to music. The choir was accompanied by Gianni Fassetta, at the accordion, and Atsuko Yamauchi, at the piano. Artist Keisuke Ito also performed, with Tsugaru Shamisen, in a spectacular virtuoso show on Japanese themes. The concert was again sold out, with a deeply involved and fully satisfied audience. It was a great opportunity for Italy, which saw the union of otherwise very distant places and cultures and the creation of an ideal bridge between Matera and Japan.
My concert, the Super Accordion Live @ Matera, took place in the Raffaele Gervasio Auditorium on the very last night day of the Festival, with Masahiro Itami at the guitar, Shingo Tanaka at the bass and Masanori Amakura at the drums. It was a great success – the audience was enthusiastic and started a standing ovation lasting 5 minutes. It was a very intense and moving moment for my band and I. My concert in Matera was later presented and praised during a TV interview for the local TV network TRM.
In the interview, I mentioned the excitement showed by the audience during the whole performance. The audience came from all parts of Italy: Naples, Rome, from the far-off Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, from Matera itself, Bari, Potenza… The project attracted a significant number of people, among whom there were young Japanese music and culture lovers as well.
The director of the Festival, Gianni Fassetta, and his collaborator in Matera, Gennaro Loperfido, gave an important contribution to Matera, European Capital of Culture, thanks to their 2019 Edition of the Accordion Festival "Matera Meets Japan". I would, in conclusion, like to thank the EU-Japan Fest for the wonderful cultural exchange provided, crossing all borders of music.
I believe the future will bring many other precious opportunities of cooperation and cultural sharing.


The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee voted unanimously today to maintain the base rate at 0.75% in a move described by commentators as a "wait and see" approach by the bank.
No increase was expected after the rise from 0.5% to 0.75% last month, moving rates up to the highest level since 2009.
The MPC also voted unanimously to maintain the stock of sterling non-financial, investment-grade corporate bond purchases, financed by the issuance of central bank reserves, at £10 billion. The committee also voted to maintain the stock of UK government bond purchases, financed by the issuance of central bank reserves, at £435 billion.
The decision to hold rates comes against a backdrop of better than expected recent GDP growth figures, an uptick in wage growth and signs of inflationary pressures subsiding.
The BoE says that recent news in UK macroeconomic data has been limited and the MPC's August projections appear to be broadly on track.
UK GDP grew by 0.4% in 2018 Q2 and by 0.6% in the three months to July.
The UK labour market has continued to tighten, with unemployment falling to 4% and the number of vacancies rising. Pay growth has risen to around 3% on a year earlier. CPI inflation was 2.5% in July.
Brexit remains a concern with the MPC acknowledging that the economic outlook for the UK could be influenced "significantly" by the response of households, businesses and financial markets to developments related to the process of EU withdrawal.
Ben Brettell, senior economist at Hargreaves Lansdown: "Markets gave a zero percent chance of any action from the BoE today, and so it came to pass, with a unanimous vote to leave rates untouched. There's been little change in key economic indicators since the Bank's August meeting, though there's been a notable lengthening of the shadow cast by Brexit-related uncertainty in recent weeks.
Jon Chitty, investment analyst at Brown Shipley, said: "Though consumer price inflation remains above-target, monetary policy actions typically take several months to filter down in to the real economy, and officials at the Bank of England will want to see how the last move plays out. Market forecasts suggest that no additional changes to the base rate are expected until at least the second quarter of 2019, and with the UK scheduled to leave the EU at the end of the first quarter it's fair to say that a lot could change over this period.
"Indeed, it is hard to envisage a scenario where rates rise in Q2 2019. A 'Soft Brexit' would be met with a strong rally in sterling putting downward pressure on inflation, and if the BoE's actions in the wake of the 'leave' vote are anything to go by, a 'Hard Brexit' is more likely to be met with rate cuts.

Britain hires ex-Obama official to advise on tech economy
August 2, 2018 12:00 am|Comments (0)
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain has hired Jason Furman, chief economist in former U.S. President Barack Obama's administration, to chair a new panel that will steer its approach to digital technology, the UK government said on Thursday.

The panel will look at competition in the digital economy and how technological progress can be squared with the protection of privacy and society at large.
Furman served as chair of the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers between 2013 and 2017 and is currently a professor of economic policy at Harvard Kennedy School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
"His experience will be invaluable as we ensure that our market-regulating institutions are fit for purpose in the digital age," British finance minister Philip Hammond said.
Britain wants to keep close ties with the European Union around digital regulation after Brexit, although it will not be a part of the bloc's Digital Single Market – a plan to make online trade easier between EU countries.
Britain's digital industry turned over about 116.5 billion pounds ($ 153 billion) in 2016, or around 7 percent of economic output.
"While digital markets have produced significant consumer benefits, including in the UK, we need to fully understand how competition policy needs to adapt going forward," Furman said.
"Our focus needs to be on ensuring that consumers continue to benefit from these new technologies while maximizing the innovative potential from the economy."
Furman's panel will operate from September through to early 2019, when it is due to submit its findings to the government.

Uber hires former NTSB chair to advise on safety culture after fatal crash
May 7, 2018 6:01 pm|Comments (0)
(Reuters) – Uber Technologies Inc [UBER.UL] said Monday it has hired a former National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chairman to advise the company on its safety culture after a fatal self-driving crash in Arizona.
The Uber logo is displayed on a screen during the Women In The World Summit in New York City, U.S., April 12, 2018. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid
Online news outlet The Information reported Monday that Uber has determined the likely cause of the fatal collision was a problem with the software that decides how the car should react to objects it detects. The outlet said the car's sensors detected the pedestrian but the software decided it did not need to react right away.
"We have initiated a top-to-bottom safety review of our self-driving vehicles program, and we have brought on former NTSB Chair Christopher Hart to advise us on our overall safety culture," Uber said Monday. "Our review is looking at everything from the safety of our system to our training processes for vehicle operators, and we hope to have more to say soon."
A 49-year-old woman was killed on March 18 after being hit by an Uber self-driving sports utility vehicle while walking across a street in Phoenix, leading the company to suspend testing of autonomous vehicles. Arizona's governor also ordered a halt to Uber's testing.
Uber declined to comment on the Information report. "We can't comment on the specifics of the incident," the company said, citing the ongoing NTSB investigation.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is also investigating the incident.
Uber Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi said in April the ride-sharing company still believes in the prospects for autonomous transport. "Autonomous (vehicles) at maturity will be safer," he said at a Washington event.

Q: PHP: Send an email with the data the user filled in a form, only after the user hit "send"? (the data is an array) I´m very newbie on PHP, and programming in general, and I´m still reading my manual. I´m trying some excercises, and creating some simple tests of my own.
I have a form, with some checkboxes and select items. The user complete the form and it shows some output. It´s like a little game, where the user selects some answers, and the scripts shows a number that´s his/her score.
Now, I would like to receive an email each time a user completes the game, with all the answers.
The users completes some checkboxes and select items, so, all answers are arrays (So, I´ve tried $message_answer2 = $_POST['answer2']; and it won´t work).
So, I´ve tried:
$to   = 'myown@mail.com';
$subject = 'New Game '.date("m/d/Y h:m:s");
$message_answer2 = join(', ', $_POST['answer2']);
mail($to, $subject, $message_answer2);

There are 2 issues with this:

*

*There´s a PHP error that appears: Warning: join() [function.join]: Invalid arguments passed in ...

*An email is dispatched (a blank email) each time I just reload the page. The emails should be sent only after the user hits the "send" button of the form.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this :)
Thanks!!
Rosamunda

A: You should try this:
if (isset($POST['answer2'])) {
    $to   = 'myown@mail.com';
    $subject = 'New Game '.date("m/d/Y h:m:s");
    $message_answer2 = join(', ', $_POST['answer2']);
    mail($to, $subject, $message_answer2);
}

I'm assuming when the user submits the form you're having it post to the current page. If that's the case then when you're originally loading the page there is no data set in $_POST['answer2'] which is why you're getting an error, and then its sending the blank message because there is no data to send. Adding that an email will be sent only if statement will make it so that only if there is data being posted to the page in 'answer2'.

A: join() is for use on arrays. Unless you've used the PHP-specific array notation on your form's field names <input name="answer2[]">, PHP will NOT make $_POST['answer2'] an array - it'll just be an ordinary string.
If your form looks like
<input name="answer2" ...>
<input name="answer2" ...>

then you're still only get a single string value in $_POST. You must use the [] notation to tell PHP it should create an array and add each individual answer2 to that array. When not in array mode, PHP will simply overwrite $_POST['answer2'] with each answer2 value it finds in the form data.

NEW YORK Few rivalries can live up to Yankees-Red Sox, but the feudhasn't had the same gravitas lately.It's been a while since we've seen something akin to Pedro Martinez to sing Don Zimmer to the ground, or Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez coming to blows. Lou Piniellas just aren't barreling Carlton Fisks over anymore.I've seen the video and replays on YouTube, Yankees starter Luis Severino told Sporting News. https://www.rockiesedges.com/colorado-rockies/dj-lemahieu-jersey They used to fight a lot.MORE: How the diminutive Ronald Torreyes became a stalwart YankeeWhile the absence of violence these days is probably for the best, the overall rivalry has died down. Aside from CC Sabathia cursing out Eduardo Nunez for buntingThursday, the tension has been lacking in recent years. The Red Sox have been on again, off again contenders, while the Yankees have fielded average, aging ball clubs. There's been little to get hyped up about when the two teams face off.That's not the case this season. With both teams in it to win it and battling in the Bronx this weekend, there's been plenty of reason for excitement. One is the rivalry's infusion of young ballplayers.In New York, the likes of Severino, Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird and Clint Frazier have contributed to an aggre sive youth movement. Boston's has been a bit more drawn out, with players like Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Eduardo Rodriguez debuting long before Andrew Benintendi and Rafael Devers. Every one of those guys is 25 or younger, though.One thing they all have in common is inexperience, though some have le s than others. It's not always easy being so young in the majors.I try not to get caught up in all of that. I don't, Devers, 20, told Sporting News through an interpreter. The pre sure to play well is there but with the daily work that I put in I won't have to worry about that moving forward.What he and all these other young Yankees and Red Sox will have to worry about is each other.These youngsters are bound to impact this rivalry for years to come, though some aren't nece sarily thinking that far ahead. Betts told Sporting News it's hard to look at the big picture during the grind of Ian Desmond Jersey an 162-game season.MORE: Red Sox fans are probably enjoying Aaron Judge's crazy collapseWe don't think about that at all, he said. We're just a young group of guys who have fun playing baseball and whoever's acro s the line we're competing against them. I don't think we think about the rivalry at all.Frazierhas an opposite mindset.The 22-year-old Yankee is currently on the disabled list, but he got to play at Fenway Park for the first time on July 15. He called it one of the coolest experiences I've had as a baseball player.[The rivalry is] good for everybody. Not just the fans or for us it's good for baseball. It used to be such a big rivalry back in the day and going forward I think everyone wants to get back to that, Frazier told Sporting News. It's the Red Sox-Yankees.There's a reason the stands are filled out for us playing it's https://www.rockiesedges.com/colorado-rockies/jon-gray-jersey the past these two teams have together.Benintendi agreed with Frazier's point about the fans and the game benefiting. Like his teammate Betts, his mind is not occupied by thoughts regarding the rivalry.It's obviously two big teams, Benintendi who has already earned a reputation as Yankees killer told Sporting News. I grew up watching it, but I feel like it's more the fans going at it.So not every player involved is all that invested in the rivalry. That doesn't mean it can't be exciting for those watching.His thoughts may not align with those of his Boston counterparts or even some of his teammates, but Frazier is excited for the future of baseball's oldest grudge.We're making the rivalry interesting again.

What it means to be a Clark Scholar:
From: www.jhu.edu/profiles/ishpreet-singh
"Every day, I get to see from a different perspective and tackle problems in a new way." -Ishpreet, Class of 2021, Mechanical Engineering, Major
Ishpreet Singh didn't expect to spend so much of his time in college thinking about playground equipment, but it's been a preoccupying issue in one of his classes.
That's because Singh is a member of the A. James Clark Scholars Program at Johns Hopkins, which aims to train students in engineering, business, leadership, and community service. During the 2018-19 academic year, the Clark Scholars partnered with Barclay Elementary/Middle School in Baltimore to host science and technology expos and to improve the public school's playground.
It's an opportunity for Singh and other Clark Scholars to learn about design and business. After determining the client's needs, the scholars will devise plans for improving the tot lot, whether by replacing black top and hardscaping, replacing or repairing benches, or custom-designing playground equipment themselves. They'll pitch their proposals to the school leadership and help usher the project through completion.
"Before I came to Hopkins I thought I wasn't interested in business," Singh says. "But through the Clark Scholars Program, I got to see how engineering and business is an interconnected, flowing system. And it's great to work with the students at Barclay and see how they come up with ideas because of who they are and what they see that I never would have come up with. Every day, I get to see from a different perspective and tackle problems in a new way."

The Clark Scholars design proposals for the Barclay preschool and kindergarten were reviewed and accepted by the schools' administration! New additions to the playground coming soon! This includes a blacktop that the Clark Scholars will paint jointly with the Barclay students. See photos of the Scholars cleaning the playground and drawing with chalk of things to come.
Three Clark Scholars Go to Israel!
By Lindsey on February 7, 2019
Please see this video of the experience by Jordan:
"Seeing a thriving startup culture in such a small country with limited resources has greatly inspired my own entrepreneurial ambitions. In just 3 weeks, I really felt a gained a deeper connection to Israel through interacting with a wide variety of people from all around the country and of course eating delicious food! Truly a transformative experience."
Clark Scholars visit The Franklin Institute
By Lindsey on November 5, 2018
"Electricity is a modern necessity of life, not a luxury." -Franklin D. Roosevelt
This past Saturday, 22 of the Clark Scholars visited The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA. The Franklin Institute, one of the oldest centers of science education and development in America, memorializes the initiatives of Benjamin Franklin, and houses exhibits related to discovery, technology, and science. Some of these exhibits include: Your Brain, Changing Earth, Electricity, The Giant Heart, and Space Command. The Scholars were able to explore the interactive stations, expand their knowledge, and spark their curiosity! The Scholars practiced their best versions of some "throwback" songs on the bus ride back to campus (i.e. Miley Cyrus' 'Party in the U.S.A.') and maximized their time at the exhibitions by engaging with the variety of portals. One Scholars even noted that he wished their had been more time to explore all of the different levels of the institute.
The ultimate highlight of the trip was from the request of one of the first-year scholars, Sean, who decided to take advantage of our proximity to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Sean recreated his best version of Rocky Balboa's stair sprints. The theme song, "Gonna Fly Now," played in the background, he was dressed in his best grey sweat-suit, and he raised his arms triumphantly when he reached the top. The "Yo Adrian" reenactment made for an entertaining way to conclude the trip!
By Lindsey on October 31, 2018
Vara, David, Jonathan, Bella, Sean, Professor Aronhime & Geno. Not pictured: Cameron
The Clark Scholars class of 2022 have spent the last two months adjusting to life at JHU. In this short time, the seven first-year students have bonded as a cohort and connected with their mentor, Professor Lawrence Aronhime. Last Sunday, October 28th, "Prof. Aronhime" toured the Baltimore Museum of Art with the students, as he likes to connect artwork with his Introduction to Business slides and lectures. "Intro to Biz" is a required course for the Clark Scholars first-year curriculum, and in an auditorium of 121 students, the seven scholars sit together in the very front row. Professor Aronhime has met with the class of 2022 several times this semester to provide guidance. "Start now" is his advice, encouraging the students to think about what their interests and personal goals are, and perhaps more importantly, industries and career paths in which they know they don't want to pursue. Today, in the spirit of Halloween, the Clark Scholars played the ultimate trick and dressed up as Professor Aronhime in his typical garb: laced shoes, jeans, a rolled up flannel and glasses (see picture above). Happy Halloween…and bravo, first-year Clark Scholars!

Just supplement power | 2017 Subaru Impreza First Drive
Just supplement power | 2017 Subaru Impreza First Drive - The phrase" all new" get bandied about room more than it should in the automotive macrocosm. Depending on how lax an automaker's commerce department is seeming at the time, refreshed fascias and a reshuffling of trim grades might deserve a tired vehicle the all-new appellation. That's not what Subaru has done with its reborn Impreza compact. Everything from its rotates to its windows has been completely redesigned for 2017.
With one glaring objection, the 2017 Subaru Impreza has benefited exceptionally from its rebirth. The chassis is stiffer, the steering is better, and the interior is larger than before. Like on most Subarus, standard all-wheel drive remains a key selling top. The only concept that's missing is more power.
Subaru has gone guff over the years for its exterior intend, with vehicles being called everything from ugly( Baja) to odd( B9 Tribeca ). The 2017 Impreza doesn't fit those descriptions. There's just enough surfacing pulped into its bodysides to allure the eye, and the sinewy flared-shoulder fenders supplement a muscular posture. Dead-on, the Impreza's face is a bit too nondescript- if it didn't wear a Subaru badge, you'd be forgiven for correcting it for a Honda or Toyota- but it's not unattractive. The bug gazes of Imprezas past are now nothing more than an historic footnote.
The Impreza is again accessible as either a sedan or, for $500 more, a hatchback. The stem of the sedan measures 12.3 cubic hoofs. Undoubtedly, the incubate offers more utility than the sedan, with 20.8 cubic hoofs of space behind the rear seats and a maximum of 55.3 cubes with the seats folded. That's more than the VW Golf's 52.7 and room more than the new Honda Civic hatchback's maximum of 46.2.
The first thing we acknowledged from the driver's seat is how simple it is to see out of the 2017 Impreza. Visibility is excellent in every direction, and all that glass signifies the room feels flame and airy. Gigantic, easy-to-read speedometer and tachometer ascertains sit front and core, but the rest of the information needed for the task of driving is spread across three different LCD screens. The first sits between the two ascertains, and the second is atop the centre for human rights stack. The third screen is the largest, setting 6.5 inches on base 2.0 i patterns and 8.0 inches in Sport and Limited balances. Check out the Short Cut video below to realize these three screens in action, and stick around for a look at the interior roominess, the hatchback's rear cargo area, and a walkthrough of the differences that define each trim level.
Subaru's recent touchscreen infotainment structure lands standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is great. There's a spot below the screen with a tiny Near Field Communications icon that allows NFC-enabled smartphones to pair readily with the car's electronic brain. We tried it with both an iPhone and a phone leading Android, and it wreaked as expected. While Subaru still isn't at the tippy top of infotainment technology, the organizations of the system in the 2017 Impreza is the best we've seen from the company. We like the great, clear icons on the residence screen, and we're happy to report that the organizations of the system detected stylish and accept. Subaru gets a round of applause for including physical buttons and dials for the audio and climate controls.
The 2017 Impreza marks the introduction of the Subaru Global Platform, which will underpin pretty much everything the automaker constructs for the foreseeable future. While the new Impreza is larger in every feature than the version it changes, it hasn't flourished out of its segment. At 105.1 inches, the Impreza's wheelbase is longer than the Volkswagen Golf's, but an inch shorter than the Honda Civic's and Mazda3' s. Total period is 175.6 inches, which is exactly equal to the Mazda's. Width and height similarly measure up with its peers. Headroom, shoulder room, and legroom are all at or near the top of the Impreza's class.
In the case of the 2017 Impreza, big doesn't mean little swift. Despite toughening the chassis and the size advance, the curtail load of 3,034 pounds is about the same as before. The car's center of gravity is five millimeters lower than the last Impreza's, and that pays gains on the road with a house but comfortable razz and self-confident control. Restraint accomplishment is another strong point, with solid pedal experience and spate of fund influence in normal driving scenarios.
The 2017 Impreza's 13:1 steering ratio is much quicker than the last model's 16:1 rack. Even if the figure doesn't mean got anything to you, know that the Impreza's steering gear now has the same ratio as the BRZ sports car's. You won't confuse the Impreza for a sport coupe or sizzling incubate, but it feels light on its tires and is one of the best-handling vehicles in its class.
Unfortunately, the 2017 Impreza is let down by its powertrain. The locomotive is of course a horizontally resisted "boxer" four-cylinder, and it displaces 2.0 liters just like before- in fact, it's a mildly revised version of the previous Impreza engine. Territory horsepower is 152 at 6,000 rpm, which isn't a lot and feels like less, although it's four more than the 2016 prototype had. Torque weighs out to 148 pound-feet, and it peaks at 4,000 rpm. The locomotive concludes its influence high in the rev compas, and the CVT does its best to get the mill spinning at or near its top without disappearing straight to redline and engendering a ton of ear-piercing whine, but there's just not much forwards gumption to be found. An optional upgraded locomotive would shore the Impreza up with its main competition.
We drove the new Honda Civic hatchback lately, and there's no struggle in acceleration between the two- Honda's 1.5 -liter turbo engine is rated at 180 hp, but it feels more than 30 hp stronger than the Subaru. VW puts a 1.8 -liter turbo in the Golf with 170 hp and 199 lb-ft. Mazda fastens with naturally aspirated locomotives, but offers a greater 2.5 -liter alternative with 184 ponies and 185 lb-ft. The Chevy Cruze, Kia Forte, and Hyundai Elantra all have options for more influence than the Impreza. The base 2.0 -liter in the Ford Focus is about on par, but it shares the showroom storey with the $25,000 Focus ST, which has a lot more influence. Only the anemic Toyota Corolla( 137 hp and 126 lb-ft) has notably lower output than this Subaru. Of direction, this Impreza will be followed by hotter WRX and WRX STI forms, and it's only topics of period before those are unveiled and go on sale. But for now, if you miss a 2017 Impreza you're stuck with the naturally aspirated 2.0 -liter.
EPA fuel economy maxes out at 28 miles per gallon in the town and 38 on the highway for the CVT-equipped sedan, but trim positions and the five-door person shape can bring both anatomies down an mpg or two.
Subaru offers four decorate degrees for the 2017 Impreza, starting with the 2.0 i at $19,215 with a five-speed handbook.( Yes, a five-speed handbook. In 2017.) The continuously variable automatic drive contributes $1,000. A step up the Impreza ladder brings you to the $ 22,015 Premium, which gets the CVT standard, plus better exclusion damps, metal rotations, and some additional chrome flakes. For a rational $1,395 more, customers can add Subaru's EyeSight driver-assist bundle, which includes adaptive cruise ensure, pre-collision braking, and lane-keep assistance induced probable by a camera method, and approaches bundled with blind-spot monitoring, and turn automatic braking. At the upper part of the Impreza food chain sits the Limited, which starts at $25,415. Throw every option at the Limited and you'll still end up a few hundred horses start of $30 k.
The $ 23,315 Impreza Sport, which offers Active Torque Vectoring technology, 18 -inch rotations, black exterior accents and different interior decorate, is the example aimed at lovers. Of direction , no extent of red-faced stitching or faux carbon-fiber decorate can make up for the car's absence of capability, but the 2017 Impreza Sport's excellent driving dynamics and standard all-wheel drive will be enough for a lot of potential buyers.
Since the company tells its Global Platform is prepared to accept plug-in hybrid and amply electric drivetrains, we think there's plenty of reason to be excited about the brand's future. And with a chassis this good as a starting point, we're interested to see what else is in store for Subaru's compact vehicle lineup. Bring on the WRX!

My Top 5 Horror Flicks
Happy Halloween everyone! I know it's November 1st in the Philippines, but the clock hasn't struck midnight yet on All Hallow's Eve over here. In commemoration of this Western holiday, here are my top 5 horror flicks, in order of their release date. You've probably seen them already, but humor me!
28 Days Later (2002)
An English post-apocalyptic horror film that depicts the breakdown of society following the accidental release of a highly contagious virus.
This may have been the first film to show fast-moving zombies. It's a great thrill of a ride, with a socio-political message and an engaging soundtrack to boot. Several scenes look like they were shot as a music video. I will forever know Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris for their roles in this film. Watch out for the alternative endings after the credits.
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
A British comedy about a man attempting to get some kind of focus in his life as he deals with his girlfriend, his mother, and his stepfather while dealing with the zombie apocalypse.
Horror comedy is a tough sell, and this is the movie to beat. It's witty, it's irreverent, and I've watched it about 5 times. You've got red on you.
El Orfanato (The Orphanage) (2007)
A Spanish ghost story about a woman who brings her family back to her childhood home, where she opens an orphanage for handicapped children. Before long, her son starts to communicate with an invisible new friend.
In true Guillermo del Toro-style, the haunted house mood is excellently set, without pushing everything into your face. Graphic horror is kept to a minimum, yet I spent most of my time cowering behind pillows. It's the ideas presented that are truly horrific, transcending the language barrier. A masterpiece, really.
REC (2007)
A Spanish film in which young TV reporter and her cameraman who cover the night shift at the local fire station. Receiving a call from an old lady trapped in her house, they reach her building to hear horrifying screams -- which begin a long nightmare and a uniquely dramatic TV report.
This movie is less funny than it is really, really tense. The documentary-style filmmaking sets it apart from your usual slick Hollywood zombie flicks of its time. Also the star looks like a young Heidi Klum, HEL-lo! It's since spawned 3 sequels and a Hollywood remake (Quarantine), none of which I've watched.
An American post-apocalyptic zombie comedy in which four survivors take an extended road trip across the Southwestern United States in an attempt to find a sanctuary free from zombies.
I watched the film not knowing anything about it, and I think it's more fun this way. It's laugh-out-loud funny with seriously gory special effects and gracefully poetic montages of death and destruction. Zombieland is feel-good movie at heart. It's fun, it's gross, and it's great to watch with friends. Plus, it has an awesome soundtrack -- Metallica and Sea Wolf in the first 20 minutes, plus Blue Öyster Cult, The Raconteurs, even a song from Wicked. COME ON.
Okay so 4 of my 5 favorites are zombie flicks. I just find them more entertaining than stories haunting. But I'd love to see something that changes my mind! Any recommendations?

Tactical Analysis | Chelsea 1-3 Southampton: Southampton thrash shambolic Chelsea
It was a famous day for Southampton. It was a miserable one for Chelsea. Buoyed by their opponent's early-season troubles, the Saints marched in to Stamford Bridge knowing that there was never a better time to be travelling to Mourinho's fortress. But just how did Southampton undo the Chelsea game-plan? How did Chelsea come to concede three goals at home in the Premier League for the first time under the "Special One"?
Chelsea 1-3 Southampton
Chelsea: Begovic; Azpilicueta, Terry (c), Cahill, Ivanovic; Ramires, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Falcao (4-2-3-1)
Southampton: Stekelenburg; Bertrand, van Dijk, Fonte (c), Cedric; Wanyama, Romeu; Tadic, Davis, Mane; Pelle (4-2-3-1)
The formations threw up some fascinating talking points before a ball had even been kicked. With former Chelsea youngster Oriol Romeu reinstated to the first team, it was clear that Ronald Koeman's side were preparing themselves for a defensive strategy, one of patient passing and strong zonal marking. Considering the strength of the Chelsea front four, it was a natural decision. Otherwise, Koeman sprang no surprises and made no changes from the convincing 3-1 home win over Swansea the previous week.
It was within the ranks of the home team that the most interesting changes lay. Mourinho had answered calls from the stands to bring captain John Terry back in to a floundering back line in place of Kurt Zouma – a decision which struck me as odd as soon as I saw the team sheets. Ramires took the place of Nemanja Matic after a less than convincing start to his season, with the perennially off-form Radamel Falcao leading the line in place of the suspended Diego Costa, and Loic Remy. Perhaps more interesting was the decision to – once again – keep faith with Branislav Ivanovic. Mourinho told his players a few weeks back he was sorry he only had three subs available to him, because he'd like to replace six. He certainly didn't replace six here.
Kurt Zouma's disposal was the biggest decision here, though. Knowing the style of the Southampton front three, with burly Graziano Pelle linking up with the blistering pace of Mane and Tadic, it seems bizarre that the younger, fitter, stronger Zouma was dropped in favour of a much slower pairing of Cahill and Terry. Whatever Mourinho's reasoning, it didn't pay off.
First half: Chelsea change too early, Saints stick to the plan
The opening few minutes are always tricky to analyse as teams begin to bed in, understand their roles and put their plans in to practise, but this game was perhaps the hardest to analyse early doors – from a Chelsea perspective at least. While it was clearly from the early proceedings that the front four of Chelsea were set up to move and rotate, to disrupt a notoriously well-organised Southampton back line, the ploy hardly had time to grow and evolve to a point where one could extrapolate ideas, patterns and tactical movements.
Two styles of play epitomise Chelsea under Mourinho – free flowing, one-touch attacks, and solid, organised, possession-based defending. The opening ten minutes were clearly attempts at the former, but as with any game, it wasn't yet coming off. The balls through were being cut out, the attackers dispossessed and the flow disrupted by good Southampton pressing and structure. This was abandoned, however, as soon as the opening goal went in.
Romeu's return to Stamford Bridge had started well enough, until the Spaniard cynically tripped Eden Hazard mid-mazy run, as so many defenders have been forced to in the past. The resulting free kick was to be taken by Willian, who had already scored three direct free kicks in his past three games. As the ball swung in, it became clear it was heading for the sweet spot, and there was nothing Stekelenburg – or even two or three Stekelenburg's – could do to stop it. It was a sweet strike and a top quality goal, but perhaps it came too early for Mourinho's men.
From here out, the Chelsea game plan changed, and lasted long enough for analysis. The object was clear – now it was time to switch to defensive Chelsea, or "boring Chelsea" if you don't recognise the correct term. Good-in-the-tackle Willian was set a little deeper to aid the ailing Ivanovic against the assaults of Mane and Tadic, Oscar set deeper to help keep possession tidy and controlled, Fabregas and Ramires pushed back to the half way line where the centre backs would be in any normal game, and Terry and Cahill sitting even deeper.
The above screen grab shows just how defensive Chelsea became when in possession; Oscar rejoining Ramires and Fabregas in central midfield to provide cover and options, Cahill and Terry deep with Ivanovic returning to position just out of shot. It was clear that Chelsea were ready to play on the counter, utilising the pace of Falcao, Hazard and Willian as the Saints inevitably pushed forward for the equaliser. The issue is, that's not what happened.
Southampton maintained their shape and structure, and as the game grew the Saints began to press more and more, springing on missed passes, mistakes and hesitations. The midfield battle was clearly rattling the Chelsea players, and the pace of Mane and Tadic was too much for the back line. Ivanovic had a torrid time out on the right – whenever Mane or Tadic found themselves on the left, they cut inside to take Azpilicueta out of the game. On the right, though, they took Ivanovic on, and more often than not, left him for dead. After 35 minutes of trying to keep a strong shape, shut down space and still contain the runs of Mane, Tadic and Davis, Chelsea's defence was in disarray.
Here, Mane has managed to draw all three central midfielders away from the other red and white shirts, and even Azpilicueta – who may well have been told to man mark Mane as the only player in blue who might be able to match his pace – is being pulled in field. Space gapes on Pelle's left side, where Cedric is set to bomb on.
The more concerning news was the centre back pairing, who were unable to handle anything the Southampton front three were offering. Neither Terry nor Cahill could catch or contain Mane's bursting runs, and certainly neither could find a way to martial Graziano Pelle. The big man bullied the backline all game long, shrugging off their attempts to hold him back or out-muscle him. Southampton looked far more composed and comfortable in their style than Chelsea, and eventually, they got their rewards.
Finally Southampton capitalised on the slack Chelsea back line. Fonte's diagonal ball from deep took half the side out of the game, pulled the centre backs apart and opened a gaping hole for on-running Steven Davis. Their final chance to deny Southampton a chance was Cahill out-muscling the big Italian target man, which he failed to do. Pelle coolly chested the ball in to the path of Davis, and not even the covering run from Ivanovic could save Chelsea from conceding. You'll also note Fabregas in the centre of the picture, not tracking the runner, and Willian ignoring the lurking Ryan Bertrand just out of shot. Across the board, Chelsea had lost their men, lost their composure, and lost their lead.
Second half: Saints press on, Chelsea lose their heads
At half time, both managers played their hands and made a substitution, with Ward-Prowse replacing Romeu for the Saints, and Matic taking Ramires' place for the hosts. Both players had already been booked in the first half, but their replacements were for different purposes; Ward-Prowse's introduction signalled an attacking shift in Southampton's approach, as Koeman sought more killer balls to Pelle like that which created the opening goal. Mourinho, however, was looking for some steel, another guard to martial the strength and speed of Pelle, Mane, Davis and Tadic.
The front four of Chelsea had been largely removed from the game after the opening goal, but came more in to the game in the second forty-five. After a flurry of four shots in ninety seconds from Southampton just after the break, Chelsea had their chances, too, with a floated cross just evading Falcao's head and of course, that controversial penalty call.
The second Southampton goal epitomised everything that had gone wrong in the Chelsea defensive plan. Here, you can see FOUR Chelsea shirts all occupied by Pelle – Ivanovic and Willian aren't even looking at Tadic and the space he can now operate in on the near side, and both Matic and Fabregas have both lost track of Mane. The Senegalese nips in to the gap, Pelle drops the ball in the hole left gaping to his left, and then, worst of all for Chelsea, Terry fails to handle the danger. Mane's pace and balance is too much for the captain, who falls to the deck and watches on as the striker claims his fifth of the season.
At the other end, Southampton were showing Chelsea how to defend, too. The lines were sharp, the space ahead was cut off and the front three were going to need to bully their way past Fonte and van Dijk if they hoped to get some room – something that Hazard, Oscar, and Falcao are not really up for.
Southampton continued to press higher up the field, pushing the ball back towards the now increasingly nervy back line, giving Mane and Tadic and Davis the license to run and frighten them some more. Eventually, of course, Chelsea caved again.
Once again the Chelsea back line were unable to handle the direct running of Sadio Mane, who, as you can see, manages to draw every single retreating blue shirt central. A well placed pass to either Tadic or Pelle takes the entire defence out of the game, and that's exactly what happens. Mane lays the ball in the feet of Graziano Pelle, who fires low in to the sweet spot and claims a rare away goal, taking his seasonal tally to seven in all competitions. Chelsea's centre back pairing had been lain to waste by the pace of Mane once more, and with Azpilicueta nowhere to be seen, there was no-one left to deny the Italian international a well deserved goal.
The final nail in Chelsea's coffin was hammered by the hand of Jose Mourinho just a few seconds later. Now needing the chase the game with everything they had, Mourinho made the bold decision to sub the sub – Matic was replaced by Loic Remy, and the game began to peter out. Southampton were content to maintain the ferocious pressing style and keep the ball away from their opponents, and even had another chance through Tadic. In truth, Chelsea offered little – a team bereft of confidence and ideas, with a fan base so far removed from these sorts of issues they've forgotten how to react.
The press and wider football community will continue to debate Mourinho's post match comments long in to the international break, but the Portuguese has once again deflected the criticism. He may have picked the wrong fight after accusing officials of being "scared" to give Chelsea decisions after the Falcao penalty claim, and out-right refused to comment on the two far more convincing decisions that went against the Saints, but he has deflected it once more nonetheless.
What should and surely will concern him more is the complete disarray of the Chelsea back line at times, which consistently failed to learn its lessons. Pelle was too strong, Mane too quick, Tadic too tricky, and the defence too well drilled. It's easy to see why Jose wanted to quicker and younger John Stones. He'd walk past Terry and Cahill in to that defence right now, and few would complain.
As for Southampton, they continued their recent revival in convincing style. For as poor as Chelsea were, Southampton were every bit as good. The structure across the team was impervious, and man to man, the Saints performed their jobs efficiently and calmly. The front three continue to develop a potent chemistry, Romeu takes another step toward filling the boots of Morgan Schneiderlin, and with the back four now established and fit, the defence looks as strong as it did last year. With this win, Southampton have now become the first team to put three goals past Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge, and have also matched the "Special One"'s heaviest home defeat. The last time to beat Mourinho 3-1 on his own patch? Barcelona. And while the headlines may belong to Mourinho's meltdown, the Saints will be quietly content with statistics like that.

In the early hours of April 26, a museum in the heart of the national capital was engulfed in flames, quite mysteriously. The newspapers report that 100 firemen were pressed into service, and it took them 37 fire tenders and eight lakh litres of water to douse the fire that had spread to all the floors of the seven-storey building. The cause of the fire that destroyed several precious natural artefacts is yet to be ascertained, but cops are probing the possibility of a sabotage.
No casualties have been reported, but fire officials have sent a notice to the museum authorities for not adhering to safety standards. It has been found that the museum – that is frequented by children – was not in possession of a fire safety clearance that has to be taken every three years.
According to news reports, a team of firemen that went inside the building to cut off the source of the fire noticed that apart from the fire alarms, none of the sprinklers or hydrants were found to be working. The building, along with its relics, was gutted from inside, charred beyond recognition. The flames could be controlled after several strenuous and anxious hours. The cooling operations began around 9.30am.
The Times of India reported that the museum had been neglected by the government for years. That watchdog bodies had been questioning its functioning for years, even as it witnessed a constant fall in footfall.
Who is to be blamed for its destruction then? An oblivious-government's apathy or an insider's devious deed?
Needless to say, important pieces of priceless history have been lost, and forever. The museum was home to ammonite fossil, a 160-year-old fossil bone of a sauropod, a large collection of bird eggs, several stuffed animal specimens, and the like. The biggest loss is the devastation of the taxidermy specimens – a dying art of preparing, stuffing and mounting the skins of animals for display, suggests news reports.
It is unrealistically uncanny that a fire of this magnitude broke out in the dead of night, and its cause has not been ascertained. It is disappointing to learn that the authorities took the building's safety for a casual stroll. Why were there no fire clearances when getting one every three years is mandatory?
Has public safety become a choice now? Whatever evidences the investigating team could procure, has been destroyed in the fire, when the flames spread between the floors. If the government had been a little more cognizant in maintaining places of public interest, such a shattering tragedy would not have occurred.
We agree with the police that the angle of sabotage is plausible and cannot be ruled out. We also urge the government to learn from its mistakes and take necessary steps to ensure that such a distressing incident does not repeat itself.


In light of Údarás na Gaeltachta, statistics releases today which show an increase in the number of jobs created year on year, Indepndent TD for Donegal Thomas Pringle has called on Údarás na Gaeltachta to make it a condition whereby companies must recognise its workers' union membership before the they can access Údarás grants which Deputy Pringle says is "essentially state money".
Deputy Pringle further stated "it's not enough to create jobs in much needed areas like County Donegal. They have to be good quality jobs and with the appropriate conditions attached including union recognition by the employers.
"I believe it's time that Údarás, which offers state grant money to these companies should make union recognition a priority.
"Just earlier last year alongside Cllr Michael Cholm Mac Giolla Easbuig, I attended a strike organised by staff at the Rapid Action Packaging Ltd. in Letterkenny where I gave my full support to the workers. They had voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action in a ballot taken by the SIPTU trade union due to the continued rejection by management of the company to recognise the workers' union.
"We really shouldn't have to face the issue of basic workers' rights in 2019 but unfortunately with Fine Gael in power and Fianna Fáil propping them in Government this year will see a the continued struggle for basic rights like union recognition.
"If job quality was important to Údarás then making union recognition a stipulation for companies shouldn't be such a difficult task.
"I intend to raise this issue with the Minister in the Dáil shortly and will seek commitments from Fine Gael for a prioritisation of workers' rights in Donegal and across the country" concludes Pringle.
