The cost of attendance for graduate students is based on standard student budgets established each year by the University's Office of Financial Aid (OFA). The estimated costs on the OFA website are updated annually and can assist you in planning your own budget. It is important to note, however, that the estimates include average tuition for graduate students. Actual tuition will vary by school or college, residency status, and stage of degree (i.e., pre-candidate or candidate).
Current full and part-time tuition and fees for all U-M schools and colleges are available from the Office of the Registrar. To determine your current tuition or estimate future costs, find your school or college in the list and select the option that includes Rackham. The chart will display full term tuition and fees for both Michigan residents and non-residents (residency guidelines are available on the Registrar's website). Once doctoral students have achieved candidacy, tuition is billed at the candidacy rate regardless of residency status. For those who enroll in fewer than 9 credit hours, part-time tuition for the first credit hour and all credit hours thereafter are listed.
Persons who are not candidates for a degree may be admitted by Rackham to a program as a non-candidate for degree (NCFD) student. NCFD students may take no more than two courses per term for no more than two terms. Tuition and fees for a 3 credit-hour course will vary based on school or college and residency. For specific information, follow the procedure outlined in the previous paragraph to view tuition and fees for part-time enrollees.
The University of Michigan provides many sources of financial assistance to help students meet educational and living expenses. Whether you are a prospective student, a current student, a master's or doctoral student, we want to make sure you know about the funding available for your graduate education. The nature of funding varies widely. Opportunities highlighted on the funding pages range from large competitive fellowships that pay tuition and stipends, to targeted grants that assist with foreign language study, dissertation research, and conference travel, to emergency grants and awards designed to help students manage student loan debt. For more information, visit the funding section of the Rackham website.
For prospective students and admitted students there are several internal as well as external funding opportunities you can apply for.
The estimated cost of attendance for graduate students includes housing costs, books and supplies, and miscellaneous personal expenses. These costs vary widely depending on your preferences. Current rents for University housing are posted on the U-M Housing website, and the housing section of the Rackham website provides information about various options and includes links to searches that can give you an idea of what it will cost to accommodate your preferences. To find out more about living in Ann Arbor, including transportation and employment, visit Rackham Life.
The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) has developed GradSense, a unique online education platform that provides students with financial information about a range of topics including the value of pursuing an advanced degree, paying for your education, estimating cost of living, and preparing a budget for your time in graduate school. Through interactive visualization tools and engaging infographics, students are invited to better understand a variety of issues related to borrowing and spending, potential future earnings, and money management.

Regina Lewis-Ward
"Be a visible representative who knows the heartbeat of the community."
Regina Lewis-Ward is currently running to represent House District 109 in the Georgia State Legislature. She is a longtime community leader who previously served on the City of Stockbridge Council where she secured funds and advocated for families with disabled children. She also partnered with the U.S Small Business Administration to host series of webinars to help minority women business owners.
Name: Regina Lewis-Ward
Location: McDonough, Georgia
Role: Candidate for the GA State Legislature
Coalition(s): African American, woman
Social Media: @reginalewisward
Can you tell us about the office you are running for/your current elected position? I am running for GA HD-109 which covers Stockbridge, McDonough, Conyers, and Covington
What made you decide to run for office? I decided to run to be the next Georgia state representative from District 109 because I understand that people are not thriving under the current leadership and they deserve an advocate who listens and knows the heartbeat of the people.
What is the most important issue you are focusing on in your campaign? The most important issue I am focusing on the Lewis-Ward for GA Families campaign is: Helping to empower working families by advocating for issues such as livable wages, affordable housing, and equitable access to health care
Why is the leadership of Black women needed right now? The Leadership of Black women is needed now more than ever because for too long black and marginalized communities have not had representation or the type of leaders who will advocate on issues that directly impact their lives. As a Black woman, I want to uplift not only marginalized communities, but ensure voters in GA HD 109 have an advocate and champion their issues.
What advice would you give other women who want to get involved in their community or who want to run for office? The first piece of advice I would give to other women who either want to get involved in their community or run for office is to listen to the concerns of the community you'd like to represent, and advocate for their needs. Secondly, attend an Emerge training which will equip you will the necessary tools to help you on your journey in public service. Lastly, be a visible representative who knows the heartbeat of the community.

History (Endhaven Supplement)
The history of Endhaven, like all places, is complex and multi-directional. Historians break the history of Endhaven into broad eras.
1 Whence Came the World
2 The Elemental Age and the Elemental Wars
3 The Wild Age
4 Age of Gods
5 The Age of Heroes
6 The Crusade of Light
7 The Age of Empires
7.1 The Mercenary Empires
7.2 The Thule Empire
7.3 The Three Empires
8 The Wars of Law and Chaos
9 Modernity
10 Timeline
Whence Came the World[edit]
Few who live, even the gods, were here in the beginning. Those few who did see the creation do not idly speak to mortals, so their knowledge passes to us through younger gods.
There are many stories of creation. Most traditions tell differing tales of the beginning. There is no mortal way to determine which is correct and which is not. For the historian, the true beginning will always be in doubt.
A few creation stories are worth noting more than others.
According to the storm hags who live in the Endhaven, the world was rescued by the Mother of Storms. They do not know the reason that she rescued the world, but they are certain that the world itself is mortal, and that the Mother of Storms will be the one who destroys it.
According to the dragons, there were once many worlds, but they were destroyed in some unnameable conflagration. The Mother of Storms saved many pieces of those old worlds, knitting them together into this new world. This is why there are so many different peoples and languages, and why there are so many ruins older than old.
Scholars propose that the first planes that sprang into existence were the Elemental planes. All all physical places sprang from that event. After uncountable time, the next planes that came to exist were the Generative planes. From them, life sprang into the world. Scholars call this era "The Wild Age." All known creatures come from this time, from the lowly mouse to the mighty dragon. Finally, the Exemplary planes came into existence, along with the gods, and self-aware peoples came to exist. Scholar freely admit that they do not know the causation of these events.
The Elemental Age and the Elemental Wars[edit]
Self-aware creatures first came into existence during the Elemental Age. These creatures were basic and absolute, formed from their own element. Each was pure, yet limited. These creatures were at odds with each other. Their natures conflicted. They fought for no reasons of philosophy or greed. There were no morals or reasons to their fighting. They fought only because it was their nature to conflict. It was an age of perpetual, irresolvable, primal violence. This age existed for countless years, shaping the worlds deeply.
The Wild Age[edit]
The second age of the world is called the Wild Age, for this is the age when all mortal creatures came to be, from mice to dragons; from fish to leviathans. These new planes pushed the elemental planes apart, bringing the elemental wars to and end. This new age saw a new completion, as life strove against itself is a primal way. Though life competed with itself, it also formed a web of interdependency. Life was now dynamic, yet void of meaning. This age lasted for countless years.
Age of Gods[edit]
The third age of the world saw the arrival of the gods. Whether the gods generated the Exemplary Planes or whether the Exemplary Planes created the gods, historians will never know. They reason that the Exemplary planes pushed apart the Elemental planes, ending the eternal primal conflict. Knowledge of this time comes from the gods themselves, pieced together by historians from the various pantheons.
The gods established their dynasties, destroyed terrible creatures, allied with each other against each other, all the while developing into the pantheons that we know today. Many historians call this era the War of the Gods.
The Age of Heroes[edit]
Once the great deed of the gods were done, a new type of life arose from the planes. The processes of the generative planes created a new form of life infused with exemplary influences: self-aware life. The gods took great interest with these creatures, helping them to rise above the primitive world that they arose in. They shaped life into the races that we know today. These new beings tamed the worlds about them in epic deeds told in odes and eddas. This era was named for them, the Age of Heroes.
The Crusade of Light[edit]
Flag of Charystos during the Crusade of Light.
The Crusade of Light marks the end of Antiquity. This was the last of the Epic Wars, fought with high magic and high ideals. After this war, the gods became more remote in the conflicts of the world, and the conflicts themselves became vaguer and less directed.
Students of Rhakotis deduced that a secret power ruled the world, and they traced this power to the Magi of Glittering Vale. They grew jealous of this power, and so formed a pact called the Black Alliance. They grew in power and prestige as the years progressed, and soon they were prepared. They struck at the Magi, and in turn, began their own conquests.
The Magi lost many elves wizards. The Black Alliances was very efficient are killing the elven wizards using magics both foul and damning. The war raged, and the Magi grew afraid. They sent a delegation to the Mother of Storms to beg for advice. She informed them that they should form an alliance, but that this alliance would destroy their empire. The elves consented, and they summoned all the great races to them. They fought back against the forces of evil, eventually destroying them. In their victory, though, they bankrupted themselves. Their mercenaries seized cities as their payment, and their grant world scheme crumbled down.
The Age of Empires[edit]
The Mercenary Empires[edit]
When the Crusade of Light concluded, Light stood triumphant. The cost of their victory was high. Unable to pay their armies, their armies rebelled, seizing kingdoms and empires for themselves. These territories fought with each other for decades until Thule united them.
The Thule Empire[edit]
General Thule defeated his opponents to create the Thule Empire. After 100 years, he abdicated this throne, handing power to his sons.
Thule Empire (Endhaven Supplement)
The Three Empires[edit]
Thule's sons split the empire into the Dragon Empire, the Griffon Empire, and the Phoenix empire. They fought for centuries against each other.
Dragon Empire (Endhaven Supplement)
Phoenix Empire (Endhaven Supplement)
Griffon Empire (Endhaven Supplement)
The Wars of Law and Chaos[edit]
The Wars of Law and Chaos were the most protracted conflicts that the planes had ever seen. The wars between Law and Chaos waxed and waned for two hundred years. These wars tore apart the Thule Empires, created unlikely alliances, raised the goblins to the power that is the Feral Nation, and ultimately resulted in the patchwork of powers that marks present history.
The war was not a single war, but a series of simultaneous wars which ripped the institutions of the planes apart. The catalyst for this conflict was the Transgressor movement intersecting the Axiomite movement. The idealistic and avant-guarde element of each movement soon fell to the extremists elements, then the militaristic elements in each movement.
The forces of good and evil, matched so keenly, were taken unaware by these wars. These wars were completely unforeseen. Good and Evil lost their places as governing principles as their own faithful turn on each other.
Once the wars got going, ancient alliances the worlds over were overturned and shattered. Good and Evil were forgotten. Morals were forgotten. All that mattered to the world was order and chaos.
The wars raged and peaked, the calmed. When each calm looked hopeful, the wars sparked back up again, leading to a new round of battles and conflicts.
Both the Golden Circle and the Black Alliance disintegrated, losing their place in the public conscious. Both movements converted themselves into secret societies, both the with the aim to ending the war. The Golden Circle became The Teachers, and it aimed for peace. The Black Alliance became the Shadow Empire, who desired to control the planes by subterfuge, rather than overt war.
Eventually, the cycle of wars slowed, leading to today's lull.
Modernity[edit]
It is now thirty years since the last active battle of the War of Law and Chaos. The importance of law and chaos wanes as the new generations are born, though there are those who were there to see the wars. A new consciousness of good and evil again touches the actions of the peoples. Populations are again expanding, with people returning to planes long depopulated. New powers have emerged. Remnants of the last war still walk, dangerous and deadly. There's a world with a deep past to explore, and a new future to create.
Whether we are in a new era, or whether were are just in a lull of the Wars of Law and Chaos is uncertain. It has been thirty years since the last round of campaigns, which is longer than any lull before, but few truly believe that this can continue. Most people on power are reasonably concerned that today's political climate can and will disintegrate before a new war.

Al-Shabaab attack in Garissa: How did 4 KeNHA engineers die? Explained
Four individuals have perished due to an alleged Al-Shabaab attack in Bura East, Garissa County, including the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) engineers.
The murdered individuals, according to sources, were doing an average assessment of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor project.
The Toyota Hilux Double Cabin model that they were riding in blew up after colliding with an improvised explosive device, according to authorities (IED).
Three bodies were found at the scene, according to the police, and the fourth is believed to have perished in the blast's debris.
Four Kenyans were murdered in a roadside explosion in Kenya's Garissa County, close to the Somalia border, according to the police, who announced the incident on January 12th.
All four occupants of the car owned by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) were killed on Wednesday, according to Northeastern Regional Police Commander George Seda, who the Xinhua news agency quoted. The accident occurred along the Garissa-Bura route, Seda added.
In a security report, Seda claimed that al-Shabab was responsible for the alleged attack on the convoy of KeNHA engineers. Al-Shabab is believed to have planted an IED, which exploded and destroyed one vehicle, while other cars turned around to return to the nearby camp guarded by police, Seda added.
Kenya's northeastern region, which borders Somalia, has been attacked by Al-Shabab insurgents.

Al-Shabaab attack in Garissa:
Four individuals were killed in the assault, including the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) engineers.
The victims reportedly carried out a routine examination of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor project.
According to the officials, they were riding in a Toyota Hilux Double Cabin vehicle when it exploded after hitting an IED.
How did KeNHA engineers die?
On the Old LAPSSET Road in Garissa, four KeNHA engineers were killed in a suspected Al-Shabaab attack.
The improvised explosive device (IED) went off as the engineers' convoy of three cars passed by it while driving from Garissa to Hailey Chinese Camp and then to Bura East.
The first car, a Toyota Hilux Double Cabin with the registration number KBV 502S, was utterly destroyed in the explosion.
The two vehicles, still in convoy, immediately headed back to Hailey camp after the assault.
The fourth person is thought to have died in the bomb debris, according to the police, who reported finding three bodies at the scene.
It happened the same way last year. In January last year, suspected Al-Shabaab members set at least eight lorries on fire as they were engaged in construction on the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) highway project.

Q: Unable to complete network request to host "psf" using firebird embedded depending of the directory I'm trying to connect to a embedded firebird database using de following code:
    var cmm = new FbCommand();
    var csb = new FbConnectionStringBuilder();
    csb.ServerType = FbServerType.Embedded;
    csb.UserID = "SYSDBA";
    csb.Password = "masterkey";
    csb.Dialect = 3;
    csb.Charset = "UTF8";
    csb.Database = @"TESTE.FDB";
    cmm.Connection = new FbConnection(csb.ConnectionString);
    try
    {
      cmm.Connection.Open();
      cmm.CommandText = "SELECT NOME FROM TESTE WHERE ID=2";
      MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(cmm.ExecuteScalar()));
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
      MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
    finally
    {
      cmm.Connection.Close();
    }

The query execute depending of the directory of the program. If I open the program in the directory "C:\np" or other local directory, it works normally. But, if the directory is a network mapping, I receive the following error: "Unable to complete network request to host "psf". Failed to establish a connection."
What can I do to resolve this situation? Thanks.

A: Firebird doesn't allow opening databases on network shares by default, as this could lead to database corruption as Firebird needs either exclusive access to a database, or instances sharing a database file need to coordinate access using a lock file local to the server. Access through a network share means that multiple instances from multiple hosts could access the same database file, and that is not how Firebird is designed to be used.
If you want to access a single Firebird database from multiple hosts then you should setup a Firebird server and configure all clients to connect to that server, you should not use a network share.
However if you really want to access a database on a network share, then you can set the option RemoteFileOpenAbility in firebird.conf to 1. Given the risk of file corruption and data loss I strongly advise not to use this option, but use a Firebird server instead. Make sure you read the warning in the config file as well.

If you arrive by plane, the ferry and hydrofoil ports of departure for Ischia may be reached by public transport or taxi. From the Naples Capodichino Airport, one may reach the Calata Porta di Massa and Molo Beverello points of embarkation – which are a mere 800 meters apart - using a shuttle bus (Alibus), which directly connects the airport to the port of Naples. Tickets may be purchased on board. If taking a taxi service it is advisable to ask for the fixed rate, determined by the municipal administration at approx. 16 Euros for the port of Naples and 20 Euros for Mergellina.
From the Central Station, one may reach the port of Naples by shuttle bus, the ticket may be acquired inside the station. From Naples Central Train Station, the Mergellina embarkation point may be reached by metro, which is located within the station. By taxi the fixed rate for the port of Naples is around 10 Euros.
From Naples: If travelling by car, by taking the ring road, both the Calata Porta di Massa quay in the port of Naples and the port of Pozzuoli can be reached from the highway. To reach the port of Naples from the highway, take the A1 highway towards "Naples - Port"; travel along the Via Marina until you reach the Calata Porta di Massa exit. From Naples the connections to Ischia depart from two ports: Molo Beverello and Calata Porta di Massa. The Molo Beverello is in front of the Maschio Angioino, Calata Porta di Massa is approximately one kilometre east (to your left when facing the sea). There is a free shuttle that connects the two ports. The hydrofoils depart from Molo Beverello, the ferries depart from Calata Porta di Massa (and are the only vessels able to transport cars and motor vehicles). Before departing, it is best to check the hydrofoil and ferry schedules, as they change frequently.
From Pozzuoli: To reach the port of Pozzuoli from the highway, once the Naples tollgate is reached, continue for approximately 12 Km and get onto the Ring Road in the direction of Pozzuoli, travel the whole Ring Road and take the exit number 12 "Via Campana"; after the toll, follow signs for the Port. From the port of Pozzuoli you may embark with your vehicle for both the Port of Ischia and Casamicciola Terme. Both ports are departure points for ferries of the Caremar and Medmar companies. Please visit our webpage where it is possible to reserve and purchase tickets. The trip to reach the island of Ischia ranges from 60 to 90 minutes. Difference in travel times is due to the possibility of a stopover in Procida.
There are 2 disembarkation ports on the island: Port of Ischia (approx. 18 km) and Casamicciola Terme (14 km). In addition, there is the third port of Forio (7 km from our hotel), which only serves hydrofoils (only passenger transport, NOT cars). After arriving at Port of Ischia or Casamicciola Terme, we recommend following signs for Strada Statale 270 in the direction of Lacco Ameno, Forio and Saint Angelo. For nearly the entire drive, continue on the road along the coast, passing through the village of Succhivo and, after approximately 1 km, arriving in Saint Angelo. Near the entrance to the village of Saint Angelo of Ischia there are three parking spaces available. One must leave their car here and, if necessary, make use of the electric carts situated at the entrance of the village as the whole area is restricted to traffic.
Taxi: At the port you will find a line of taxis. In any case, be aware that the taxi will not be able to accompany your party to the entrance of the hotel. You will need to travel approximately 700/800 meters on foot.
Bus: Saint Angelo may be reached in two ways. Disembarking at Port of Ischia there are three bus lines: CS and bus line 1, which pass through the towns of Casamicciola Terme, Lacco Ameno and Forio of Ischia, and the CD line that passes through the towns of Barano of Ischia and Serrara Fontana. All lines arrive at the main stop in Saint Angelo of Ischia, in the large main square, called Cava Grado.
If necessary, for baggage transport, make use of the electric carts situated at the entrance of the village, as the whole area is restricted to traffic. Continue along Via Chiaia di Rose; after following this road for approximately one hundred meters, you will arrive at Hotel Casa Celestino which will be on your left.


Kristoff's trusty sidekick Sven is a loyal friend to his iceman companion. In fact, Kristoff likes Sven more than most people he meets. That's because (at least according to Kristoff) reindeer are better than people. If you know a little Frozen fan who would prefer the company of Sven, here are some great toy Sven toys for fun reindeer games.
Here's Sven as a big 16-inch soft plush stuffed animal. I bet he loves warm hugs as much as Olaf.
Here's Sven as a cute little Beanie Baby from Ty. Beanie Sven is collectible and fun to play with.
This soft plush Sven doll talks! The Sven stuffed animal says iconic phrases from Frozen.
Funko POP vinyl doll toy figures have exaggerated cute features. This is Sven from Frozen.
This PVC Sven toy is 3 inches tall and would go great with other mini Frozen toys. Also makes a perfect cake topper.
This is a small plush stuffed animal toy of Sven the reindeer as a young lad. Baby reindeer = cute!

Tobacco industry involvement in children's sugary drinks market
Nguyen Kim H, Glantz Stanton A, Palmer Casey N, Schmidt Laura A. Tobacco industry involvement in children's sugary drinks market British Medical Journal 2019; 364 :l736
Tobacco conglomerates that used colors, flavors and marketing techniques to entice children as future smokers transferred these same strategies to sweetened beverages when they bought food and drinks companies starting in 1963, according to a study by researchers at UC San Francisco. (Press release, UC San Francisco, 3/14/2019)
How Big Tobacco Hooked Children on Sugary Drinks
New York Times, 3/14/2019
Researchers combing through archives discovered that cigarette makers had applied their marketing wizardry to sweetened beverages and turned generations of children into loyal customers.
In Orange County, "local control" is code for inaction on syringe exchange
Opinion, Orange Country Register, 3/10/2019
[State Senator] Moorlach is using the cloak of local control to mask Orange County officials' complete unwillingness to carry out their own harm reduction activities or work with the Orange County Needle Exchange Program (OCNEP) to improve its operations. Local control would serve as a barrier to syringe exchange programs and not a promise to help reform and improve them.
Legislative opponents of drilling bill predict ruin if measure were to pass
The Daily Sentinel, 3/18/2019
That bill is only one of many Republicans call an overreach by Democrats, who control both chambers of the Colorado Legislature, the governor's office and every other statewide elected office.
But the oil and gas reform measure, SB181, is particularly bad for Republican lawmakers. It allows local governments to set stricter regulations on drilling wells than the state, including greater setback rules, and shifts the main focus of the state agency that oversees the industry from one that fosters development to one more concerned with environmental impacts. [Emphasis added]
Industry groups, politicians seek to delay Colorado oil and gas bill
The Tribune, 3/4/2019
The bill would make a variety of changes to oil and gas law in Colorado, including the following…
It would provide explicit local control on oil and gas development, opening the door for local government-instituted bans or moratoriums, which have previously been tied up in court battles because the industry has been considered one of state interest.
John C. Lamb: Oil and gas bill does not protect public health
DailyCamera.com, 3/18/2019
Senate Bill 19-181 does not allow communities to ban fracking. SB-181 allows communities to direct the industry where to frack; but they will be fracked. SB-181 does not reduce oil and gas extraction, and, therefore, does not address the looming climate crisis. SB-181 does not eliminate forced pooling or state preemption of communities… Without allowing communities to ban fracking, people are just re-arranging chairs on the deck of the Titanic. [Emphasis added]
Senate Bill 181 clarifies local authority and fixes a broken regulatory system
Why Wayne Messam Wants to Go From Florida Mayor to POTUS
CityLab, 3/19/2019
Wayne Messam, the mayor of Miramar, Florida, rarely shies away from confrontation. After the Parkland, Florida, school shooting in 2018, he and several other Florida mayors sought to enforce stronger local gun restrictions. But they were stalled by strict state preemption measures, which mandate that even proposing to ban gun use on city-owned property can get local officials fined and fired by the governor. Following the lead of Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who defended his city's gun control restrictions in 2017, Messam and the other mayors advocating for municipal-level firearm measures sued the state. If successful, Miramar could declare public buildings, such as the city's new 5,000-seat amphitheater, gun-free.
And now, as Messam continues the battle for more local control over gun regulations, he's joining a growing group of Democratic mayors and former mayors who are running for the highest office in the country: POTUS. [Emphasis added]
New poll shows Floridians strongly support local control of short-term rentals
FloridaPolitics.com, 3/15/2019
The pollster phrased the question in two different ways.
The first asked whether voters wanted one set of rules for all neighborhoods across Florida or if local communities should be able to set their own.
Faced with that question, seven in 10 voters said local rules should trump all. Another 21 percent said they preferred a statewide system while 9 percent were undecided.
The second asked voters point-blank whether the state government or their local city or county commission should determine set the rules.
Nearly three-quarters said they wanted their local elected's in charge while just 12 percent of those polled said they wanted vacation rental directives to come from the state capital. Another 14 percent were undecided.
Polarizing Bill Preempting Municipalities From Regulating Employers Clears 1st Senate Hurdle
wjct.org, 3/14/2019
MARK LANE: New Legislative session starting so watch this space
Daytona Beach News-Journal, 3/5/2019
PREEMPTING LOCAL GOVERNMENT: The previous speaker of the House, Rep. Richard Corcoran, was unique among modern House speakers for his open contempt for local government. Most small-government Republicans at least try to say nice things about the level of government closest to the people…
Whether the new speaker, Jose Oliva, shares his predecessor's fondness for telling local governments what they can't do remains to be seen. There are more than 30 local-preemption bills filed this session of the Legislature. Many forbid local governments from banning various kinds of disposables — bags, straws, disposable bottles and cups.
Like the bill from Sen. Travis Hutson, R-St. Augustine, that would fight for the right to keep plastic straws in restaurants and ultimately on the beach for at least five years.
One exceptionally broad preemption bill, HB 3, would take a wrecking ball to an amazing wide range of local ordinances, nullifying everything from anti-discrimination ordinances to Key West's ban on sunscreens that harm coral reefs. [Emphasis added]
Editorial: Legislative preemptions old and new show why local control often best
Editorial Board, Naples Daily News, 3/20/2019
Florida legislators obviously consider themselves wise.
They've deemed themselves to know better than local governments how to regulate things ranging from vacation rentals to plastic bags.
But is it wise to assume that statewide rules issued from Tallahassee make sense for every locality?…
Florida Legislature's latest preemption frenzy would sabotage plastic straw ban | Fred Grimm
Sun Sentinel, 3/8/2019
Sen. Travis Hutson hails from Elkton in the northwest reaches of Florida, four miles down Highway 207 from Spuds, nine miles south of Molasses Junction and a far piece from Fort Lauderdale, whether you measure the distance in miles or culture or politics. Yet, Sen. Hutson has no compunction about meddling in our local affairs.

We need local control
Barbara Edwards, Daily Star Journal, 3/19/2019
For the record, I have testified at DNR [Missouri Department of Natural Resource] public hearings in two other counties of our state, as well as Water Commission meetings. Of those testifying, approximately 90 to 95 percent were local farmers who were in opposition to confined animal feeding operations in their immediate area — many citing real concerns about nearby water wells, stench, disease carrying ammonia into lakes and ponds, reduced air quality, increased flies, loss of property values, etc….
I want local control. I don't want our health ordinances turned over to the bureaucracy of the state.
GUEST COMMENTARY: Corporate control drives Missouri farmers out of business
ColumbiaMissourian.com, 3/15/2019
However, we at the Missouri Rural Crisis Center and Patchwork Family Farms not only like bacon, we market hundreds of thousands of pounds of family farm pork every year. Our members are farmers and rural citizens who support agriculture every day. And we oppose Senate Bill 391.
So here are some facts:
Corporate agribusiness and their lobbyists are attempting to take away local control and our rights. Why? They would rather have decisions being made where their money and lobbyists have the biggest impact, at the state and federal levels of government. But family farmers, county commissioners and rural citizens are standing up to these attacks and fighting to protect local control. [Emphasis added]
Nevada: Omnibus Anti-Gun Bill Introduced, Legislator Bill Introduction Deadline Extended
NRA-ILA, 3/18/2019
Today, Assembly Bill 291 was introduced by Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui (D-41). This omnibus anti-gun legislation is a threat to both gun owners residing in Nevada and those who are visiting.
Most notably, this legislation:
Repeals Firearms Preemption Laws: State preemption prevents local governments from enacting their own gun control ordinances and creating a confusing patchwork of laws. Without preemption, a person could face various laws and regulations when traveling throughout the State. [Emphasis added]

From gravel pits to anti-idling laws, local control saw multiple wins in the 2019 Utah Legislature
Deseret News, 3/17/2019
SALT LAKE CITY — The traditional state vs. local control power struggle manifested again in several ways on Capitol Hill this year, from the ongoing fight over the Utah Inland Port Authority to gravel pits and plastic bags.
Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski's fight over the port authority is moving to the courts and is its own animal, spilling over from last year's session. But as for other issues, when the 2019 session started, several bills quickly caught the nervous eye of local officials, wary of state encroachment into local powers…
Then there was a new effort to block cities like Park City from banning plastic bags — but the bill stalled in the House after it was literally shouted down on the House floor by two voice votes — a moment that left lawmakers, even sponsor Rep. Mike McKell, laughing.
Supreme Court gets first arguments in UW gun case
Laramie Boomerang, 3/20/2019
Wyoming Statute 6-8-401 prohibits gun regulations by any "city, town, county, political subdivision or any other entity."
That pre-emption of gun regulations by the state under Section 401 has existed since 1995. In 2010, gun advocates in the Legislature attempted to update the statute to add even more restrictions on gun regulations. However, they did so using the Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act, a law largely intended to skirt federal regulation of Wyoming-made guns.
Governor lets private schools avoid local zoning control
WyoFile, 3/15/2019
Gov. Mark Gordon today allowed a bill stripping county authority over private school zoning to become law without his signature saying in a written statement he found the measure "flawed."
The decision allows the Jackson Hole Classical Academy to build its campus south of Jackson as planned on land zoned for rural development. The academy seeks to construct buildings larger than the county's 10,000 square-foot limit in that zone.
The law now exempts private schools from Teton County's zoning rules as well as those of Wyoming's other 22 counties.
Gov. Mark Gordon allows controversial Wyoming private school bill to become law without his signature
Casper Star-Tribune, 3/15/2019
During the recently completed legislative session, the bill exposed a division among lawmakers: namely whether or not local control, which legislators often tout, should take a back seat to limiting how local governments regulate land use.


Being pulled over for a suspected DWI is always an unnerving situation and one that can cause you to wonder whether or not you have answered questions appropriately or given an officer any other indication that you could be under the influence of alcohol.
An officer might ask someone they have pulled over where this person deems himself to be on this scale and you might feel as though you have no other choice to but to answer the question as honestly as possible since the officer has already pulled you over. Even when people are not intoxicated, however, many people give a response of a number other than zero. This is a trick question because any number outside of zero is an admission that you in some way feel impaired in your driving.
Since this is a scale question, people are tempted to answer within the range of 1 to 5. However, an officer could suspect that you are under the influence of alcohol if you give any other number answer than zero and many lay people do not understand the legal definition of intoxicated under Texas law. Furthermore, the officer might not define this or explain this appropriately for the person under investigation. Intoxication under Texas law is classified as not having the normal use of physical or mental faculties due a controlled substance, dangerous drug, introduction to alcohol or a combination of two or more of these features.
Be aware that you need to present these concerns and any questions asked of you during the pullover process to your experienced Fort Bend, Texas lawyer. Have your case reviewed immediately to get all possible help defending your freedom.

Massachusetts hockey goaltender Kevin Moore has only played three minutes, 40 seconds on the ice in his four years with the Minutemen.
But there's a chance that could change on Friday.
UMass will welcome No. 12 Merrimack to the Mullins Center on Friday night for the first of a home-and-home series. Friday's game will be Senior Night for UMass, which has four players graduating, Moore included.
Traditionally, Senior Night is the last home game of the season where the seniors are honored in a pregame ceremony then allowed to play as a way to honor their contributions to the program.
In this case, however, there is a possibility that Moore might not play, considering the playoff implications that this weekend's games carry.
The Minutemen (12-15-5, 8-13-4 Hockey East) are tied for eighth place in Hockey East heading into Friday's game. Only the top eight teams in the 10-team league qualify for postseason play, and UMass needs every point in its last series of the season.
But one small outcropping of students disagrees with Moore's team-first mentality.
The Twitter group has worked hard to promote the movement in an effort to catch the eye of UMass's coaching staff with the hopes that Moore will see at least some time in his final home game. It has even tweeted pro players like Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, the Boston Bruins and the New England Sports Network.
Former UMass goalie Paul Dainton also put in a good word for his former teammate.
Moore has been with the Minutemen since the spring of 2009. He has one official save, the first and only one of his collegiate career, and enjoys a 1.000 save percentage because of it.
He said that he is grateful for the support from UMass fans, but ultimately he understands if he doesn't get the opportunity to play against the Warriors.
"I love seeing the support and it would mean a lot to me to be able to play here on senior night, but I would rather see us earn a spot in the playoffs," he said.


Georgia's most important grape variety Saperavi is slowly making its way into Australian vineyards. But how do these young wines compare with their traditional counterparts?
Georgia is located on the edge of the Black Sea and has Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan as its neighbours (some 'peaceful' neighbourhood to be in, huh?!). Georgia has a population of 4.5 million, which is roughly the same as that of Sydney. It is widely considered to be the cradle of wine, as it's proven that they have been making wine for more than 8,000 years. It is a very different wine scene to ours, and most other countries, in that a very large proportion of Georgians make their own wine at home. Almost all farmers have at least a few rows of vines and city dwellers visit to buy grapes to make their own wine at home. City folks with gardens tend to grow at least some of their own grapes to make their wine.
Much of Georgia's wine is made in qvevri – clay amphora used to make the original 'natural' wine. The qvevri is lined with beeswax before the grapes are put in, then it is sealed and left to ferment using natural yeasts. The following spring, the wine is syphoned out, the lees are scooped out and the qvevri is cleaned with spring water so as to be ready for making the next vintage. There are no additives, chemicals or oak used, and there is no filtration – what could be more natural than that?
The Georgians were represented thanks to local importers tamada.com.au and vinous.com.au, which import Tbilvino Wines and Pheasant's Tears Wines respectively. We were therefore able to compare examples of Georgian Saperavi to those from other cool/cold climate areas, as well as trying Saperavi that had been made in qvevri.
One of the main observations from this tasting is that, irrespective of where the variety is grown and whether it is vinified conventionally or in qvevri, the wines displayed a great deal of core commonality: the deep, dark colour; the fragrant beetroot-like aromatics; and the solid, central core of tightly structured flavour. The other main observation made is that there are two distinctive styles of Saperavi: a cool/cold-climate style and a warm-climate style.
The other Georgian Saperavi – both the Pheasant's Tears 2013 Saperavi and the Vinoterra 2009 Saperavi – were made in qvevri rather than by conventional methods. These two wines were quite a contrast, with the Vinoterra being a sophisticated, elegant, smooth, medium-bodied in colour and palate wine, with a finer finish. While the Pheasant's Tears was massively dark coloured, big-bodied with palate-coating, balanced flavours and a tight finish – an outstanding bigger style wine. Two amazingly different styles of wines both made in qvevri.

Турмали́н — минерал из группы боросодержащих алюмосиликатов, сложные боросиликаты переменного состава. Название происходит от сингальского слова «турамали» () или «торамалли» (), которое применяется к различным драгоценным камням в Шри-Ланке. До XIV века красные разновидности турмалина имели хождение под общим названием «лал».

Свойства
Кристаллы турмалина по форме обычно призматические удлинённые, иногда до почти игольчатых, в поперечном сечении — более или менее закруглённый треугольник, нередки комбинации нескольких призм, параллельно главной оси — отчётливая продольная штриховка.

Двупреломление от −0,014 до −0,044. Дисперсия 0,017. Плеохроизм обычно сильный или отчётливый: у красного — тёмно-красный, жёлтый, светло-жёлтый; у коричневого — от тёмно-бурого до бурого; у зелёного — от тёмно- до светло-зелёного; у синего — от тёмно-синего до голубого.

Линии спектра поглощения в нанометрах: у красного — 555, 537, 525, 461, 456, 451, 428; у зелёного — 497, 461, 415.

Люминесценция обычно слабая, у бесцветного — зеленовато-голубая, у красного — розовато-фиолетовая, у розового, коричневого, зелёного и синего — отсутствует.

Цвет турмалинов зависит от их химического состава. Некоторые кристаллы турмалина имеют несколько зон, окрашенных в различные цвета; такие кристаллы называют «полихромными».

Встречаются минералы с красной сердцевиной, окаймлённой светло-зелёной, тёмно-зелёной и зелёной зонами (Бразилия), с зелёным ядром и красной внешней зоной (ЮАР). Турмалиновый «кошачий глаз» бывает разного цвета.

Для кристаллов турмалина характерно проявление пиро- и пьезоэлектричества (они электризуются при нагревании, трении, давлении, причём один конец кристалла заряжается положительно, другой — отрицательно).

На кристаллах турмалина было впервые обнаружено явление поляризации света.

Из-за разнообразия окраски турмалины при внешнем осмотре можно спутать со многими минералами (аметистом, андалузитом, везувианом, гидденитом, демантоидом, дымчатым кварцем, зелёной шпинелью, изумрудом, перидотом, празиолитом, рубином, хризобериллом, цирконом, цитрином).

Условия образования и нахождения турмалина

Происхождение эндогенное, высокотемпературное, пегматитовое, метаморфическое, гидротермально-метасоматическое.

Большинство месторождений турмалинов связаны с кислыми изверженными породами и распространены во многих гранитах и гранитоидах, где образуется в последней стадии остывания интрузий. Характерны для различных гранитных пегматитов (шерл, индиголит, полихромные турмалины). Встречаются в пневматолито-гидротермальных месторождениях, в полевошпатово-кварцевых, турмалиново-кварцевых жилах совместно с касситеритом, вольфрамитом, бериллом, топазом.

Обнаруживается в грейзенах (эльбаит), в высокотемпературных гидротермальных сульфидно-кварцевых жилах и в зонах околожильного изменения вмещающих горных пород.

В небольших количествах встречается в контактово-метаморфических породах, связанных с кислыми гранитами, в скарнах, роговиках.

Минерал устойчив к физическому выветриванию и переносу и переотложению и поэтому накапливается в россыпях в ассоциации с гематитом, корундом, цирконом, шпинелидами в кварцевых осадках.

Месторождения турмалина

Месторождения широко распространены и многочисленны. Наиболее известные находятся на Шри-Ланке, Мадагаскаре, в Китае, Мозамбике (полихромные и красные турмалины), Бразилии (штаты Минас-Жерайс, Баия), Бирме, Анголе, Австралии, Индии, ЮАР, Канаде (провинция Онтарио), США (штаты Калифорния, Мэн, Колорадо), Италии (о. Эльба), Швейцарии, Таджикистане (Канибадам, горы Кучкак), России (Урал, Забайкалье). На Урале основные месторождения турмалина располагались в районе деревень Липовка, Мурзинка, Сарапулка, Шайтанка, Южаково. В настоящее время эти месторождения выработаны и находки турмалина в них крайне редки. Лучший в России турмалин добывается в Забайкалье на Малханском месторождении и в ряде других. Встречается он также на Кольском полуострове в Вороньих тундрах (розовый и зелёный турмалины, шерл), в Карелии (шерл).

Ювелирный турмалин известен в Афганистане (Нуристан): в месторождениях Дарае-Пич, Канокан, Джабо, Чормакс, Кантива, Манданеша, Цоцум, Муалеви, Папру.

Крупные месторождения турмалина расположены в США, в штатах Мэн и Калифорния. Эти месторождения были издревле известны индейцам, однако их разработка белыми американцами началась лишь в XIX веке. В этот период американские турмалины пользовались большим спросом, их нередко, приобретала, например, китайская императрица Цыси. К 1900-м годам США вышли на первое место в мире по добыче турмалинов.

Применение
 Крупные кристаллы турмалина применяют в радиотехнике.
 В зависимости от цвета и прозрачности одни разновидности турмалина относятся к драгоценным камням, другие — к поделочным. Наиболее высоко ценимы прозрачные разновидности зелёного, синего и малиново-красного цвета, а также полихромные зелёно-красные.
 Из-за сильного плеохроизма тёмные кристаллы гранят так, чтобы площадка камня располагалась параллельно длинной оси. У светлых кристаллов площадку ориентируют перпендикулярно главной оси, чем достигают наибольшей глубины цвета.
 Нагревая турмалины до 450—650 °C, добиваются их облагораживания — красно-коричневые камни становятся розовыми, а тёмно-зелёные — изумрудного цвета. Встречаются имитации из стекла.
 Изделия из турмалина применяются в альтернативной медицине, характеризуясь как «источник отрицательных ионов». Научного обоснования данное применение не имеет.

Оценка качества ювелирных камней учитывает бездефектность кристалла и яркий насыщенный цвет. Наибольшей популярностью на ювелирном рынке пользуются ограненные камни весом более 2 карат.

Long before President Donald Trump campaigned to fully repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the California Medical Association (CMA) has been fighting for access to health care for all Californians.
CMA, which represents over 43,000 physicians across all modes of practice, believes access depends on affordable, quality coverage and reflects the ability of patients to secure appointments with doctors (promptly) for preventative care and when catastrophic circumstances occur.
On March 6, the U.S. House of Representatives' Republican leadership, with the support of the White House, unveiled the first draft of the "American Health Care Act" (AHCA) as an answer to their promise to repeal and replace the ACA.
While we're pleased the bill includes an expansion of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and state innovation grants, we're concerned that the current proposal does nothing to improve access to doctors through payment rate increases or network adequacy requirements. And, if federal Medicaid funding is reduced through a per capita cap or other means, this will result in millions losing health care while shifting the burden to the states and ultimately to doctors who are on the front lines caring for patients.
An analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the new bill would cause 24 million Americans to lose their health insurance within a decade while providing $600 million in tax cuts to wealthy people and insurance companies. To put that into context, it's estimated that a health insurance premium for a single 64-year-old who makes $26,500 would jump more than 700 percent (from $1,700 to $14,600).
California has been successful in reducing its uninsured population through expansion of the Medicaid program (known statewide as Medi-Cal). Nearly 14 million people, more than one in every three Californians, are now served through Medi-Cal, including 3 million low-income adults enrolled during the ACA expansion.
In our state's rural areas, nearly half the population is enrolled in Medi-Cal, and another significant portion is enrolled through the state exchange, Covered California. Despite record low uninsured rates, California still struggles to ensure patients have access to care. Six of nine California regions are experiencing a physician shortage, and California still struggles with some of the lowest Medicaid reimbursement rates in the nation (coming in as low as 40 percent below Medicare rates).
Low reimbursement rates make it hard for doctors to maintain a practice that can serve residents in their communities. This situation keeps patients waiting for needed care, especially in rural and underserved areas that struggle to attract doctors and other medical professionals.
When a pregnant Medi-Cal patient in the Central Valley is found to have an abnormal heart condition, she needs immediate access to a cardiac specialist to protect herself and her child. But of the two cardiologists in her area, one isn't accepting new Medi-Cal patients, and the other has a three-month waiting list. Her options? Traveling 60 miles or relying on the emergency room for care.
Unfortunately, her dilemma is quite common, and it can only be improved if health reform works toward increasing provider payment rates and investing in robust provider networks so that patients can see a doctor promptly.
Medicaid and Medicare spending is increasing nationwide because our population is aging and facing multiple chronic conditions. The per capita cap proposal, as currently written, ensures that Medicaid physician payment rates will never keep pace with rising costs, particularly with our more vulnerable patient populations that face complex and costly medical conditions.
The AHCA could also force states to reduce eligibility and benefits. These cuts will simply not improve access to care. Early warning signs for diseases like cancer or diabetes are easy to spot when patients are consistent with preventative care, but they can become deadly if patients aren't able to access regular check-ups and appointments.
Studies show that reductions in Medi-Cal will result in patients foregoing needed medical care, seeking episodic care in costly emergency rooms, and eventually suffering from more serious and advanced illnesses that could have been prevented. Even if federal Medicaid funding remains the same until 2020, states like California that expanded coverage for very vulnerable individuals will face a difficult choice: cut services or unbalance the budget.
We appreciate that this draft of the AHCA is still the starting point in the conversation, but Medicaid funding must be protected and increased to care for America's most vulnerable populations, and more work must be done to deliver access to doctors and affordable, quality care.
CMA remains committed to working with Congress and the Trump Administration to develop a final plan that ensures patients can access doctors to receive high-quality and affordable health care.
Dr. Haskins is an OB-GYN practicing out of Folsom, Calif., and has been a CMA and Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society member for 24 years. She served on the CMA Board of Trustees from 2013–15 and as chair of the CMA Council on Legislation from 2010–13.
EDITOR'S NOTE: It's important that Congress makes changes to the legislation to improve access to doctors, ensure that currently covered Californians do not lose coverage, and guarantee that insurance is affordable and meaningful. Urge Congress to protect patients' access to quality care today!

The Ancient city of Ephesus is one of the richest cities around the world for centuries. There are a lot to see in this city. There are fantastic highlights that await every visitor coming to this very wonderful place. The Ephesus City has two main entrances, the upper and the lower. Once you walk through these gates, locate at the hillside, a carved small theatre called the Odeon. This small theatre is built in 150 A.D. The Odeon was used for several purposes: musical performances, lectures and council meetings. During the ancient times, this theatre was roofed this is why the Romans couldn't take a peak of the mountains. So this time, you can now view the beautiful mountains that the Romans are deprived of doing so.
Down the city, there are two standing marble pillars found at the roads opposite sides. These pillars forms the Hercules Gate, decorated with fascinating relief that represents the famous strong man. These gates are the entrances to get to Curates Street. It is one of Ephesus main streets. In mythology, the word Curates is pertaining to demi- gods. It was the name used in a class for priest in the place of Ephesus. It forms the city's largest union for cults. This street is connecting the whole city of Ephesus where all the aristocrats once worked and lived.
What is on the Curetes Street?
The Curates Street is one of the Ephesus main arteries. It is already mentioned, this street is mainly made of marble, covering an extensive drainage pipes system. There are rows of different shops, lined this way representing the illustrious citizens of the city. All that only remaining in the location are the pillars that has stood with time.
On the right of the Curates Street, there lays the Hadrian Temple, dedicated to the emperor during the 129 A.D. The street's façade was rich with Corinthian fashion, more flowery when compared to the Ionic fashion of the Greeks. It is decorated by very intricate relief of the Olympian Gods, Amazons and Medusa.
The sides of the Curetes Street are bounded with mosaics as well as with galleries of columns. These galleries will lead every tourist into the shops in the city and homes. There are inscriptions found on each column pedestals, serves as a remembrance of those people who had aided the city. An example of this is the statue found at the Gate of Heracles going to doctor Alexandros. This is the Consul Stephanos statue, it is being displayed at the Ephesus Museum, found on the Curetes Street. The street is made of marble and underneath it is a sewer system.
The main street at Ephesus.
The Curates Street end, there is something you should not miss. This is the Library of Celsus, it is considered as the grandiose infrastructure in Ephesus. The infrastructure was built to commemorate the late Gaius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, Asia's Roman Governor. It was used to house more than 12, 000 scrolls. These are protected by niches constructed on walls against humidity and heat. The only part left of the library is its façade because it was put on fire by the Goths. But you will not forget how gorgeous the Corinthian-inspired columns. The Romans have employed an optical illusion to make the infrastructure to look greater in size.
As you take the path of the Curetes Street to the Celsus Library, from this building go down the Marble Street, there you will see the commercial market remains on the left part. Turn left down of the Marble Street, you will find the Ephesus main boulevard called Harbour Street. This boulevard was once of the busiest harbour on Earth. You will be admiring the remains of the baths and the gymnasium to witness the beauty of the sea.
Not far from here, a royal highway will be leading you to Anatolia's central, here where the emperors enter. Ephesian throngs greeted here the Asia Minors that were departing that time. These gathering spot is bounded with shops as well as with colonnades making the city of Ephesus as one of the three cities with Rome and Antioch that has street lighting to boast.
Good thing about the Curetes Street, once you visit it, it serves as the primary pathway to explore the historical areas found in the ancient city of Ephesus like the Temple of Artemis and the Library of Celsus. You will be amazed on what places, this street will lead you. Your exploration will be filled with more excitement and at the same you are given the chance of learning about its rich history. The street is like bringing you to the past on how the Romans lived their lives long time ago.


Astounding finishing can add such a great amount to a home or business, particularly when the arranging conveys shading and imagination to the bleeding edge. At the point when a property holder or entrepreneur makes the following stride and includes scene lighting, the outcome can possibly be extraordinary.
Scene lighting truly improves appealing finishing, and can influence standard arranging to emerge and transform into alluring finishing. Including arranging isn't really all that troublesome or even frightfully exorbitant, yet the check offer which great scene lighting includes is evident.
Including scene lighting can even upgrade winter scenes, highlighting trees, brambles, and even adornments that truly add to the visual influence that makes finishing so engaging. Acquainting scene lighting with existing arranging is a venture that is unquestionably worth counseling with an expert.

This extra interest draws in customers and clients, particularly those organizations which are open after dull regardless of whether for just piece of the year. At the point when a business is astoundingly speaking to customers and clients, they have a tendency to draw in customary and rehash business. Scene lighting can be a piece of that fascination.

Arsenal backed to miss out on top 4 once again next season
By mac14 on August 19, 2020
Arsenal are being backed to miss out on the top four once again next season with bookmakers believing Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea will all finish above the Gunners.
The 2019/20 campaign was certainly a turbulent one for Arsenal. Following a disastrous opening few months, Unai Emery was sacked in late November and former winger Freddie Ljungberg was installed as caretaker until a permanent replacement was found.
Mikel Arteta was eventually announced as Emery's successor just before Christmas but it was clear the Spaniard had a huge job on his hands to turn things around. He struggled to get consistent results in the Premier League and we crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of Olympiacos at the last-16 stage.
The enforced break between March and June obviously didn't help matters and a poor run-in saw Arsenal end-up finishing eighth in the table – our worst Premier League finish in over 25 years.
However, thankfully we salvaged something from the season after Arteta led Arsenal to the FA Cup with impressive wins over Manchester City in the semi's and Chelsea in the final. Victory at Wembley not only secured our fourth FA Cup in seven years but it also ensured we'll be playing Europa League football next season.
The FA Cup win has given Arsenal fans hope ahead of the new campaign, however, Arteta has a huge task on his hands to get us competitive again as we finished 43 points behind champions Liverpool and 10 points off fourth-placed Chelsea.
Bookies back Arsenal to miss out
The majority of betting websites are backing Arsenal to miss out on Champions League football once again next season as the Gunners are currently 3/1 to finish in the top four. That's the same odds as Tottenham but Chelsea [8/13], Man Utd [2/5], Liverpool [1/12] and Man City [1/20] are all expected to finish above Arsenal once again next season.
The bookmakers clearly feel we haven't done enough yet this summer to bridge the gap on the teams above us so Arteta needs to work some magic in the transfer market if Arsenal are to get competitive again.
We've signed Willian on a free transfer and he should help add some creativity in the final third but Arsenal desperately need to strengthen in defence and midfield before the start of the 2019/20 campaign.
Gabriel is being strongly linked with a move amid reports Arsenal have agreed a £22m deal with Lille for the Brazilian centre-back. The 22-year-old would be a terrific signing and could line-up alongside William Saliba in a new-look partnership next season.
Thomas Partey continued to be touted as Arteta's first choice midfield target but Arsenal will need to offload Matteo Guendouzi and/or Lucas Torreira to make room for the Atletico Madrid star – who has a £45m release clause.
If Arsenal can sign Gabriel and Partey this summer then we should see those 3/1 odds to finish in the top four come down significantly ahead of the new campaign.
