Friday Firesmith – Putin's Problem
Putin's biggest problem is he is losing a war that was supposed to be a cake walk. Then again, both sides in the American Civil War thought the conflict would last a month or so, and both sides were convinced they would win. Four years and 600,000 dead soldiers later, the war did end, but no one was happy about how it was fought, or what it cost. There's a lesson here.
Here's Putin's Problem: He's losing a conventional war. He cannot afford to escalate the conflict to the point other nations night join in, because even against the smaller and less powerful Ukrainian military, Russia is suffering catastrophic losses. His calling up more troops has led to an exodus of men of military age from Russia. Putin's citizens do not have the will to keep fighting this war, and he knows it.
But no one wins a nuclear war, and Putin has to see the truth in this as well. Even if, and this is the biggest if you will ever see in print, the use of nukes doesn't wind up wiping out all life on this planet, it will leave deep and red hot scars on where they are used. If Ukraine gets nuked, Putin can bet the Ukrainian people will hate him for generations, and their war with him will never end. You can look for a world wide grain shortages even in the best case here.
There's a subarine gap in the Russian navy. From 1989 to somewhere around the year 2012, the American navy was still in the game, and still building and upgrading their sub fleet. Russia got behind, and they aren't up to speed even now. The quieter and deadly attack subs the Americans have stalking the Russian missile sub fleet is going to extract a terrible price in the first moments of a nuclear war. If America goes after Russian submarines, it will be ruinous for Putin.
Look for the Americans to strike not at political targets in Russia, but at oil fields, dams, bridges, and military airfields. Don't discount the idea NATO might drive deep into Russia, and the Russian military might welcome them if Putin drops a nuke.
Then again, you have one nuke, then another, and then two or three more, all sorts of hell breaking loose, and suddenly it's the day after a nukefest, and no one is left with a country worth trying to save.
At the end of the day, Putin just might be bluffing, hoping that the rest of the world fears a nuclear holocaust far more than they care about Ukraine. But this is a desperate gamble, and with Russia losing territory to a military it thought it could crush, and its men running for the border, Putin may have no other cards to play.
Putin might do well to remember while he is trying to hold things together, there may be someone, or a group, who would like to see him fail, and then remove him.
But the war is lost, and has been for quite some time. What else Putin loses in the process will be interesting, to say the least.

Wars have a tendency to be underestimated before they're started.
The First World War was started with a sentiment of "We'll be home by Christmas" – on both sides.
The (latest) War in Afghanistan and also the one in Iraq was started with the idea of "we go in, smash 'em, and then we've won. Well, "Mission Accomplished" looks a bit different for me…
Even Russia had its share of these wars: the Russo-Japanese war of 1904/05 was started by the Russions with the expectation, that it would be a "short victorious war". Well, "short" might be discussed ("only" 18 months or so), but victorious it surely wasn't.

Engywuck, what you say is entirely true. It is rare for a war to end quickly, and rarer still for the consequences to be short. The consequences of Putin's War are not yet clear, but I'm pretty sure no one will be happy at the end.
C.A.I.
I've heard the term "rational actor" used to describe Putin. Not entirely sure that's the case. He has a lot to lose if he loses this war and a trapped rat is more dangerous. Not sure if nuclear fallout has him concerned as the winds tend to blow into Russia, but unless he finds a way to either win or exit and save face, I'm of the belief all options are on the table for him.
CAI, surely there is at least one or two people who have to go along with pushing the button here. As bad as losing the war in Ukraine might be, tossing nukes around ins't going to win the war, and as desperate as Putin is, you would think there is some sort of balance of power somewhere. Right? Right?
Hard for me to say. I don't have the intel available to know what he may or may not do. I believe he's desperate. I don't know what secrets were given to him that may benefit or deter his plans or alter his thinking. I do believe he's using the fact that the average person doesn't have the same info to his benefit. Scaring the general public in hopes of persuading them to coerce their own government to stop helping Ukraine is something out of his playbook. But then again, he has a lot more to lose of he loses this war and the idea of losing power makes evil people do evil things. I'm not going to say he's totally bluffing, but I don't think the chances are 50/50 as much as they are 20/80, maybe better, that he won't.
Are there internal safeguards to prevent a single megalomaniac from sending nukes? I like to think so as reports have many of his people aren't in agreement with him so far. I'm not going to pretend I have absolute authoritative knowledge of his mental state nor his inner circle. I can say I don't believe he'll sends nukes across the ocean. Nothing is 100% certain when it comes to war. Decisions are made for different reasons and history is left to guess why. Is he willing to destroy his country in order to not lose power with a loss? *shrugs* Maybe. Maybe not. Crazy people do crazy things.
Putin is dying and he knows it… He seems quite willing to burn the world down on his way out.
xoxoxoBruce
Putin is holding on the best he can for 2 more years until he can get trump elected to hand him the Ukraine.
Putin could just announce that Russia won the conflict and all is now fine. After all, he is a politician…
It's hard to care when two corrupt countries are at war with each other.
The only silver lining about nuclear war is that there is not enough nuclear weapons to wipe out the entire world. Not a cheery silver lining, though–especially the closer you are to a blast zone. Or downwind from it.
Russia = 5,977 nuclear warheads + 1,588 missiles deployed (loaded & cocked)
USA = 5,428 nuclear warheads + 1,644 missiles deployed (loaded & cocked)
Badda Boom… Big Badda Boom!
Don't forget about the other countries with nuclear weapons that may retaliate as well.
CAI, you look at what Hitler was willing to allow in order to hold onto power, knowing the end was certain, and it's easy to think Putin would nuke half of Europe. At the same time, those around him have to know they're dead men if they do, win or lose, someone will come for them one day. Damn, Europe is a big mess when it's a mess.
Keith, I sure hope you are wrong, or a lot of people are going to die.
Bruce, I wonder if this was not all scheduled to happen but Biden's election threw it all off. Now, with the next election more uncertain than ever, Putin has to guess as to who will be in office, and if they'll be hostile to the dream of Greater Russia.
Richard, that's not far fetched, and it is a time honored way of ending wars. He could simply declare victory and walk away. But he's nothing to show for a lot of money spent and many, many dead Russians. He also had an expanded NATO at his doorstep, with Ukraine now being the darling of Europe, having beaten the Russian army.
Gosh, Tim, your unbridled optimism has got me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. But I suspect there's more than enough nukes to go around, so no one feels left out.
that1chick
This is just my opinion, I don't believe anyone ever really wins a war. The cost to the citizens winds up being devastating. The soldiers come back broken, shattered and usually unable to deal with the nightmare they've lived through. The families they come back to try to deal with the aftermath the best they can, and mostly are ignored by the government, the VA, and anyone else who is supposed the be there for support. At least in the US.
The country the war was held in is usually devastated and takes years to recover. It is traumatic all the way around. I feel if these leaders can't figure out a way to work it out, they need to try harder. This war shit needs to stop. Call me whatever you like. The only people profiting from war are munitions factories and arms manufacturers. We know they need the money.
GPBurth
other countries have a stockpile that's at least a magnitude smaller. But even the 200-350 nukes or so the chinese, french and british are said to each have are more than enough to ruin your day.
Even a "limited" nuclear war has world-wide consequences: when such a war was simulated between India and Pakistan, even the assumption that "only" 50 nukes each with "only" 15 Kilotons would effectively destroy the ozone layer and trigger at least five years of famine *worldwide*.

Apple has hired Google's head of search and artificial intelligence
Credit : Steve Jennings
Yesterday, Google SVP of Engineering in charge of search and artificial intelligence John Giannandrea announced his departure from the company. Now the reason for that departure is clear: he's been hired by Apple to lead the company's "machine learning and A.I. strategy," reporting directly to CEO Tim Cook.
Giannandrea joined Google in 2010 as part of the company's acquisition of Metaweb, the company behind Freebase, a community-driven database of data and information that was eventually leveraged to augment Google search results. He has also worked as Chief Technologist for Netscape, and he sits on the board of trustees for the SETI institute.
Apple needs strong talent to improve its machine-learning and artificial intelligence efforts, which lag behind those of competitors like Amazon and, yes, Google. Four days ago, former Engadget Editorial Director and Wall Street Journal writer Joshua Fruhlinger posted an analysis to data-reporting platform Thinknum revealing that Apple has amped up hiring for the division that handles Siri, its AI assistant. He counted 161 job listings from Apple related to Siri.

Brazilian Government Limits Academics' Conference Attendance
The Ministry of Education's new rule says only one federally employed researcher per institution can attend international scholarly meetings, Times Higher Education reports.

Brazil's Ministry of Education is limiting the number of academics who can attend conferences, Times Higher Education reports. One researcher from each federal institute or university is allowed to go to any given international meeting, while two from each institution can go to conferences held in Brazil. The limits apply even if the federal government is not footing the bill for travel.
Scientists who criticize the restrictions say they are part of continued attempts by President Jair Bolsonaro's administration to undermine science.
The government's new rule is "a clear attempt to curtail academics' freedom of speech and research," University of São Paulo business professor Adriana Marotti de Mello tells Times Higher Ed. "Science is made with the exchange of ideas [and] knowledge. Those people currently running the ministry have no idea about how science works."
Scientific societies have written to the government and asked that the limits be revoked. The ministry does allow for exceptions, and the agency tells Times Higher Ed that it will consider revising the rule based on feedback from the scientific community.
Last year, more than 1 million people in Brazil protested the government's budget cuts to education and research.

I was aware of mistakes in the first run, so I had to be more aggressive in the second run. I risked more and made some mistakes, but I won. This is second GS victory in my career, which makes this season even more important to me. We planned this season very systematically, training regime and preparation were very strict and they are getting stricter with every successful placing. I am staying positive and I'm sure I have a lot more to show. I would like to thank my fans for supporting me and giving me extra boost. The moment I crossed the finish line they applauded so loud it felt like home.
Moments when two athletes share the victory are something special. Of course, we are competitors and we all want the victory for ourselves, but every now and then it can be nice to share the victorious feeling with someone. There are moments when more racers deserve to win, to take the place on podium and I'm happy this is possible in skiing. My second run was very focused, so I expected a good result. Right before the finish line, I made a minor mistake, which almost cost me the victory. When I crossed the line and saw the zeroes, I realized Petra and I had the same time. I like Maribor a lot and I feel very cozy here. At the same time, I like the slopes so I'm happy I arrived one day earlier to get to know the slopes better.I even made a hairdresser appointment. Ilka gave me some great recommendations, so I had a mini-vacation.
I'm very pleased with my second run because I could fix minor details from the first one. Even though weather was bad, the racecourse was in great condition so I could take the turns and save those precious miliseconds. World Championships is around the corner so this result today is a great. I hope I will be able to keep this mentality for the championships. I felt again I can push myself further.

I'm Having a Chris Matthews-Chill-Running-Up-My-Leg Moment At The Atlantic, Marc Ambinder says the president makes for a comforting and able leader in a time of grieving. "Sometimes, the man, the moment and the words come together and meet the challenge," he wrote. "Obama had to lead a nation's grieving; he had to try and address the thorny issues of Islam and terrorism; to be firm; to express the spirit of America, using familiar, comforting tropes in a way that didn't sound trite."
This Is Why Obama Is More Popular Than His Policies At The Washington Post, Chris Cillizza says Obama knows how to employ his gift as an orator when it matters most. "Will the speech fundamentally re-shape the political dynamic? Nope. But, it should serve as a reminder of Obama's considerable gifts as an orator and how he has learned to leverage those gifts at critical moments during the 2008 campaign (Rev. Wright) and now as president with this speech."
Nation of Critics At Time Magazine, David Von Drehle says that the real purpose of Tuesday's speech, and more importantly, memorial, was drowned out by politics and punditry. And Drehle says this makes the nation even more removed from the Ft. Hood tragedy.
Is this line a signal about future troop levels? Is that paragraph a veiled play for bipartisan support on health care? Is the tone appropriately pastoral in this section and sufficiently martial in the next? TV's original power was its immediacy, its you-are-there quality. More and more, it seeks instead to mediate. A nation of citizens is invited to become a culture of critics.
For this reason, distant viewers were even more removed from the estimated 15,000 soldiers and civilians who gathered under clear Texas skies to hear the prayers, hymns and speeches in person. While their grief was more hard-earned, their experience was more authentic. They waited for the beginning of the service in appropriate silence — a fact the television commentators could hardly stop talking about.
A Speech For the Afghanistan Generation John Dickerson of Slate Magazine says the address was a "song" for Obama's generation, and the post-Baby Boomer generation who are fighting the war in Afghanistan.
In a sense, the president was addressing his remarks to more than just the assembled crowd. His speech was a song to an entire generation: his generation. The first president of the post-Baby Boomer generation was making the claim for the men and women he commands, a host of whom he will send into Afghanistan in the coming weeks. "We need not look to the past for greatness, because it is before our very eyes."
Is Obama Convinced Hasan Was a Terrorist? At ABC News, George Stephanopoulos thinks he has. "Here the President seems to have judged that Hasan was not criminally insane, but a political terrorist – twisted, to be sure – but acting consciously, driven to 'murderous and craven' acts by a perverted reading of the Muslim faith. And how about this conscious effort to equate today's military with 'the greatest generation.'"
Obama Gains Legitimacy Rob Reynolds of Al Jazeera says that "in the past, presidents have seized the opportunity of a shared moment of national shock or grief to strengthen their role as a leader and unifier." And he says that "for a President who has had difficulty convincing a substantial minority of Americans that he is a legitimate leader, it is an opportunity to live up to one of the roles of Chief Executive in the television age: that of Consoler in Chief."
Obama Won't Protect America At The National Review, Andy McCarthy says Obama's refusal to acknowledge the role of Islamic extremism in the shooting is emblematic of a president who isn't prepared or willing to protect the United States from terrorism. "No one is saying that all Muslims follow Hasan's construction of Islam, but hundreds of millions do and they have scriptures to back up their beliefs — scriptures we could all read if we'd just pull our heads out of the sand. To deny that is to deny reality. A country can't be protected by people who lack the will to face reality."


Re: 'The Voice of the Philippines' Audition Dates Announced!

It's good to know Robi Domingo is in this show. He has this enormous potential of becoming a full-fledged host than an actor. Some people just have this knack on hosting and he is one of those few.
Correct... I prefer him as a host as well. He'll be taking over the reigns of Luis in a few years.
Just a big fan of Ryan Seacrest and I've been looking for his Philippine counterpart. I actually consider Boom Gonzales a competent Filipino version but he is not getting any younger and still isn't able to penetrate the mainstream media here so hoping Robi will be it.

Canadians won't take jobs foreign workers fill: CFIB
Employment minister offers snitch line
By Lee-Anne Goodman, The Canadian Press April 10, 2014
OTTAWA – Amid the uproar of yet another temporary foreign worker scandal, some observers insist that many Canadians in various regions of the country simply won't work the jobs coveted by those eager to start a new life in Canada.
Hotel chambermaids and restaurant workers, particularly in regions of the country struggling with labour shortages, are among the positions that small businesses are having trouble filling, said Daniel Kelly, head of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
"If we're not prepared to do these jobs, and we don't want our kids to do them either — yet we still want to go to the mall and find a clean bathroom and we still want someone to clean our hotel rooms — why are we so afraid to allow people to come to Canada to happily do these jobs?" Kelly said Wednesday.
"Why wouldn't we allow that to happen?"
Many employers say temporary foreign workers work harder than their Canadian counterparts, said Kelly — they volunteer to work long hours, weekends and holidays in order to improve their lot in life and perhaps increase their chances of a permanent life in Canada.
Homegrown employees often lack that dedication to performing what they consider menial labour, he said.
"Employer after employer is telling us they have tons of workers who don't show up for shifts, don't call, and when they finally show up, they have a very questionable excuse for their absence," Kelly said.
"I don't blame the young Canadian graduating with a liberal arts degree for having no enthusiasm for this kind of work. But that doesn't help the quick-service restaurant owner who needs hard-working staff."
Kelly's comments came as Employment Minister Jason Kenney alluded to the problem again Wednesday in the House of Commons, reading out a 1-800 snitch line that Canadians can call to report any businesses they suspect are illegally hiring temporary foreign workers.
As the NDP called for an emergency debate into temporary foreign workers, Kenney told the House that an MP with the party had approached him just this week to complain about a lack of hotel workers in his northern Ontario riding.
One hotel's application to hire temporary foreign workers was refused because it was not offering the "prevailing regional wage rate," Kenney said.
"This MP asked me to intervene. I said: 'No, we are going to stick by the rules.' We are going to do everything we can to ensure that Canadians always come first; that the temporary foreign worker program is only and always a last resort."
Earlier this week, Kenney said the owner of three McDonald's locations in Victoria, B.C., could face criminal prosecution if investigators conclude he provided false information on an application to hire temporary foreign workers.
Ottawa has already suspended all pending foreign worker permits for the restaurants until the investigation is completed.
A numbered company in Newfoundland and Labrador, the owner of a trio of fast-food restaurants, was suspended this week for the same reason, as was a numbered company in Fenelon Falls, Ont., that operates a local restaurant in Ontario's cottage country.
Kelly said his federation fully supports cracking down on employers who fail to hire Canadians when they're available. But he also suggested that some small businesses may be turning to temporary foreign workers out of desperation.
"Try to find a hotel in Canada that has an easy time finding people to clean rooms," he said. "People are not lining up for those jobs in Canada — but we want clean hotel rooms."
Jason Foster, an expert on temporary foreign workers at Alberta's Athabasca University, said employers have a simple solution at hand — increase wages, enhance benefits and improve working conditions to make those jobs more attractive to Canadian workers.
"There's no question that the sectors that depend on temporary foreign workers are not the most desirable jobs, but they're not desirable in their current state," Foster said.
"The question we need to ask is, what happens when you increase the wages and improve the living and working conditions of these employees?"
Foster said his research indeed bears out the notion that temporary foreign workers are more dedicated employees.
"They're very hardworking; but they see these jobs differently than we do. They're only here to work. They are disconnected; what else are they going to do on weekends? The feeling is that they might as well work," he said.
"It's not because they're inherently better workers, it's because they have very different motivations … but is that the type of labour market we want? The employer will always want more, but is that a legitimate ask? We should be building the type of society where people appreciate their lives and call in sick when they are actually sick."

Ken: The "Blood On The Tracks" album, recorded by Bob Dylan in 1974, is another winner....
and marks the return of Dylan to Columbia Records after releasing two albums on the "Asylum" label.
{"Before The Flood" + "Planet Waves"}
Lotsa terrific songs on "Blood On The Tracks" and my favourite became "When You See Her Say Hello"....
because of my former girlfriend, Wendy. Looooong Story !!!
Anyhow Ken, there's no surprise you got a tremendous reception when you sang "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go"....
Great song....and you must've done a super job performing it !!!
Did I tell you about the time I performed at Kelly's Bar in Montreal ???
I used to sing Bob Dylan songs too, and the drunker everybody got...the better I sounded !!! {hahaha}
Brucester
<> "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" / Bob Dylan / LP: Blood On The Tracks
Brucester, Yes, the early Bob Dylan albums inspired me to learn guitar, and also his Blood On The Tracks album prompted me to learn "You're Going To Make Me Lonesome When You Go" complete with harmonica accompaniment This song was always a hit when I played it in bars.
Bob Dylan's two songs: "Girl From The North Country" and "Boots Of Spanish Leather" are similar in their melodies,
and Bob probably used the same finger-picking techniques on his guitar.
If I remember correctly, Ken, you learnt how to play guitar from Bob Dylan's "Freewheelin" album.
You got hold of Bob's LP in STEREO, and at the time, you'd be able to listen to Bob Dylan's voice on the LEFT speaker...
and listen to Bob's guitar on the RIGHT speaker.
AND...AND...AND...
As a point of interest, in 1962, Art Garfunkel was studying to become an architect....
and he was losing interest in singing together with Paul Simon.
During the summer of 1963, while walking along New York's "Broadway"....
Art Garfunkel passed a Record Store and noticed the LP cover of "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" in the window.
He stared at that picture of Bob Dylan walking down the street with his girlfriend, and he kept on looking at it for 10 minutes:
"I knew right then and there I wanted to make albums too. I immediately phoned Paul Simon and told him I've been inspired by Bob Dylan."
Paul Simon asked: "What song inspired you, Artie?"
Art Garfunkel snapped back....
"It wasn't a song, Paul. It was an album cover."
"Girl From The North Country" / LP: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan / Columbia Records / {rel: May 1963}
Thanks, Bruce, for bringing these songs to light here! "Boots Of Spanish Leather" and "Girl From The North Country" are my two favorite fingerpicked Bob Dylan songs. Both songs use the same picking pattern and chords. I used to play these songs back in the day when I played out. Anyone wanting to learn this style of fingerpicking needs to try these songs.
"How can, how can, you ask me again? It only brings me sorrow. The same thing I would want today, I would want again tomorrow." - Bob Dylan
The beautiful young girl walking arm in arm with Bob Dylan on the album cover of "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" is none other than Suze Rotolo.
Bob Dylan was infatuated with Suze, and when she left him in 1962, to go to Italy, Bob felt betrayed. He was heartbroken and lonely, living in New York.
During this time, Bob Dylan penned three songs:
- Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
- Tomorrow Is A Long Time
- Boots of Spanish Leather
From a letter Bob Dylan wrote to Suze Rotolo:
"It's just that I'm hating time. I'm trying to stab it; stomp it; throw it on the ground and kick it.
Bend it and twist it with gritting teeth and burning eyes. I hate that I love you."
Suze Rotlo's response (in her book: "A Freewheelin' Time") > she says:
"In that Boots song, I guess it was inspired by my leaving and Bob having to deal with it.
Yet, no power on Earth could have kept me from running back to him in a New York minute."
What's the significance of "Spanish Leather"?
Says Suze: "Spanish Boots are cool and they're sexy."
The "made-up" dialogue in "Boots of Spanish Leather" has got to do with two lovers breaking up.
The girl (Suze Rotlo) is sailing away...while her boyfriend (Bob Dylan) stands on shore, watching her boat leave.
GIRL WHO IS LEAVING:
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine, made of Silver or of Golden? Either from the Mountains of Madrid, or from the Coast of Barcelona.
BOYFRIEND STAYING BACK HOME:
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night, and the diamonds from the deepest ocean, I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss.
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
When Bob Dylan introduces this song at concerts, this is what he says (as he strums his guitar):
"This is called Boots of Spanish Leather. It's about when you can't get what you want and you gotta settle for less, type of song."

"You'll probably need to order pork cheeks from your butcher, but the resulting slow-cooked meaty goodness is so worth it. This is delicious served over buttery mashed potatoes with lots of the gravy."
Season both sides of pork cheeks with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour and press it into the meat to coat thoroughly.
Heat clarified butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear meat on both sides until richly browned, adjusting heat lower if necessary. When cheeks are browned, reduce heat to medium. Transfer cheeks to a plate to rest.
Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat from the skillet. Add onions, carrots, and celery to skillet. Cook and stir until softened and sweet, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Add vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan. Pour in the cider and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Add sage and rosemary. Reduce heat to low and transfer cheeks back to pan. Cover. Cook until fork tender but not falling apart, 2 to 3 hours depending on the size of the pork cheeks. Transfer to a plate.
Bring liquid to a boil over high heat, skimming off fat as it rises to the surface. Reduce volume of liquid by about 60 to 70%. Sauce will start to thicken up. Taste for salt and season as needed. Transfer cheeks back to liquid. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until cheeks are heated through and tender and sauce is thick enough to coat cheeks.
if you want extra sauce, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour to the veggies when they are sautéing. Then add an extra cup of cider and broth, and proceed as shown.
This dish was delicious , I substituted the pork Check's with beef Cheek. Instead of cider I used porto and a tiny bit of honey.

It wasn't a zone championship or even league championship for that matter. But for all the adversity the Vauxhall Queens girls basketball team has had to endure these past couple of weeks, Tuesday's huge upset win might as well of been.
Fighting through the mental anguish of a school still mourning the loss of one of its alumni and 2015 Queens MVP in Megan Kondor from a car accident, the team which features Megan's younger sister Aimee had to find a way to play on in River Ridge League playoffs.
Having to play a buy-in game against the St. Mary's Auroras to even participate in the playoffs as the bottom seed due to season-long injury woes, the Queens pulled of a monumental nine-point upset of top-seeded Senator Gershaw Gators (Bow Island) in the semifinal, the same day as Megan Kondor's funeral. The Queens had not previously beat the Gators this season in two meetings, which included a lopsided 40-point loss.
"We went into their gym and beat them. I still don't know how they did it. The kids needed a break, there was the grieving process which was draining," said Allen Matthews, head coach of the Vauxhall Queens girls basketball team, adding Megan's sister Aimee played in the buy-in game, but not the River Ridge semifinal. "We had a moment of silence and they were all in tears and I thought how we are going to do this? We had girls at half-time that were really drained. I didn't know if they could do it, but they kept (going)."
Caught up in the emotion of retelling the game to The Advance, coach Matthews had to pause in the phone interview, choking back tears remembering Kondor and be liking a proud father with how his Queens performed in the face of adversity.
"As you get older, you tend to be more of a softy," Matthews recovered with a chuckle. "They just battled. We play for the league championship today ( against Milk River past press deadline). I don't know how that's going to go, if we got anything left in the tank. We are the smallest team I've ever had out there with the Queens, and it just goes to show you what heart can do for you. They did all the little things that we worked on all year and it clicked. It was fun to watch."
Vauxhall Queens girls basketball team will compete in 2A south zone competition as the seventh seed at Lethbridge College on March 9 at 6:45 p.m. against Kate Andrews Pride.

The surest path to success is Other People's Money
First published in the Sunday Times on 31st January 2016.
MOST of those who become very rich share a particular secret about the accumulation of wealth: they use OPM. This stands for Other People's Money, of course, and is a far more important tool than brilliant inventiveness, or hard work, or almost any of the other attributes that entrepreneurs are expected to possess.
In 1914, the US Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis wrote in his book Other People's Money and How the Bankers Use It that OPM is even better than having a goose that lays golden eggs, because it amounts to "taking the golden eggs laid by somebody else's goose".
There are certain lines of business that are built on OPM. Property is perhaps the most obvious, and is still responsible for generating more fortunes than any other trade. It all boils down to the ability to borrow large amounts of OPM — mainly bank debt — secured against land and buildings. In property, it is more important to know how to coax money out of lenders than to understand how to find sites, or design structures, or obtain planning permission, or construct buildings. It is all about leverage. As Archimedes said: "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."
Of course, banks are entirely composed of OPM — their customers' deposits. There are basically no physical, productive assets in a bank, just deposits and loans. I sat on the board of a bank for a few years, and at heart the business is fantastically simple. But the industry suffers from having too many clever people working in it who get bored — and so they make it complicated, self-enriching and sometimes dangerous. Consequently, the regulators have added many layers of additional complexity to prevent impropriety and discourage excessive risk.
Meanwhile, many bankers still do pretty well out of the OPM they control. For example, Jamie Dimon, the chief executive and chairman of JP Morgan Chase, was paid $27m (£19m) last year — for being an employee.
Underwriting insurance is another financial service entirely dependent on OPM. Insurers receive premiums upfront and pay claims later; this means they sit on a float that, as Warren Buffett puts it, "allows us to enjoy the use of free money". His company Berkshire Hathaway sits atop a float of at least $75bn, which he invests in all sorts of assets. As Buffett writes: "In effect, they give us the benefit of debt — an ability to have more assets working for us — but saddle us with none of its drawbacks." No wonder he is one of the richest men on earth.
OPM drives the returns in all highly geared sectors. Shipping is one — most vessels are heavily funded by borrowings, and wily shipowners learn when to bet big using outside capital. As Aristotle Onassis, the most famous shipping magnate of all, said about his purchase of a series of ships: "Five tankers — and the only time I had to put my hand in my pocket was to scratch my balls." Now is quite possibly a wonderful time to invest in bulk carriers, since they are at valuations last seen in the 1980s. But finding a source of OPM to complete the transaction might be tough, given the slump in demand for such vessels.
Another ingenious way of using OPM is to franchise or license one's brand. Sir Richard Branson does this prolifically and very profitably with Virgin. Many of the businesses that appear to be his are in fact mostly owned by others — Virgin Active, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Australia and Virgin Money, for example. Branson charges fees for lending them the Virgin name.
In the restaurant sector many companies, from Subway to McDonald's to Pizza Hut, are substantially franchised — using the OPM of franchisees and extracting lucrative royalties for the business format and name.
However, OPM does not just provide you with more liquid resources — you can take bigger risks too. Human nature means people are less careful with money belonging to someone else than they are with their own. In 1776, the economist Adam Smith warned in his book The Wealth of Nations that in a limited liability company the directors were "the managers of other people's money", and that they would never steward it with the "anxious vigilance" they would with personal cash. Negligence "must always prevail", he wrote.
Ultimately, it's a case of heads you win and tails the other people lose with OPM. And the greater the access you have to it, the more you can make such one-way bets. Sadly I have never been good enough at borrowing money. By contrast, many in the field of private equity excel at this special art. Unfortunately, their highly leveraged speculations can sometimes turn bad, but the really sharp ones then buy out their lenders for pennies in the pound – before turning the business round. I recommend trainee tycoons cultivate their ability to use OPM — it is the surest path to financial success.

Three Boulder County students win best in show at regional science fair – Boulder Daily Camera
By Randall Perry Last updated Mar 14, 2022
Mandy Roth, a sixth grader at Flagstaff Academy in Longmont, competes with her dog, an 80-pound mutt named Kimmie, in agility competitions.
But she was worried about the 2-foot jumps required in some of the competitions, thinking it was too high and Kimmie could get hurt. So she decided to research the issue for her required school science project, then entered it in her school fair.
She ended up qualifying for the regional science fair, where she recently won best in show in the junior division, and qualifying for the upcoming state science fair.
"I thought my project was really cool, and I wanted to share it with more people and understand the issues in dog safety," Roth said.
For her project, she looked at the amount of force in a dog landing when jumping at different heights, drafting Kimmie as her test subject. For her measurement, she attached an accelerometer to her dog's rib cage using stretchy "vet wrap."
Her main setback was a squirrel that interrupted a test session, but she successfully completed her tests and determined that the amount of force did increase with height, but not as much as she expected.
"I really like being able to say, 'I think this will happen,' and being able to see if that's right or not," she said. "It's really cool to be able to understand the world with science and to help inspire more female scientists."
She added that she plans to continue with agility competitions, but likely will stick to the venues that allow jumps at the lower height she prefers.
Two high school students also tied for best-in-show awards at the annual Corden Pharma Colorado Regional Science Fair, qualifying for both the state and international science fairs. The fair was held in partnership with the Boulder Valley School District.
The regional science fair, after going virtual last school year, was held in person this year at Centaurus High School, but with some pandemic safety modifications. No spectators were allowed and, instead of talking to multiple judges, each participant had 10 minutes to present to a single judge. Altogether, 171 high school and middle students registered to present 127 original, independent projects at the regional fair.
The two senior division best-in-show winners are Morgan Holien, a senior at Monarch High, and Henry Westfall, a junior at Fairview High. Along with Holien and Westfall, two Monarch High students — Allison Inge and Langley Nakari — also qualified for the international fair after they tied for first place in the earth and planetary sciences division.
Westfall was researching polarization in social networks when he decided to enter his research in the fair's behavioral science category. His interest in the project started in 2020 as he watched the country become increasingly polarized over mask mandates, vaccines and politics.

"It really showed me just how crucial it was to understand this issue," he said.
He created two simulation models plus a web application for his research, improving on the second model to address limitations he found in running the first model. The first model included human participants, though he said he struggled to find large numbers of people willing to participate.
"Recruiting is hard," he said.
He said his project combined engineering and research, allowing him to get a "good start" on building a model for opinion dynamics and answering questions about how individuals evolve their beliefs by responding to their "social neighborhood."
This was his third regional science fair.
"Science is just really interesting," he said. "Not really answering the question, but the questions you learn to ask after you have that foundational knowledge. You learn better questions to ask and more questions to ask."
Westfall, who wants to go into a science, math or engineering field, said he was proud of the work he did in the project.
"It wasn't quite complete, but science never really ends," he said. "There's definitely more that I want to do on this topic."
Holien entered a project in the math and computer sciences category. For his project, he wanted to define a mathematical operation called tetration for non-integers.

Along with successfully meeting his main objective, he said, he discovered several never-before-published tetrational identities.
"My research was sort of just me, sitting at my desk, doing math," he said. "It was very informal and flexible, which is one of the reasons I enjoyed this project so much."
He said he wasn't expecting to succeed once he realized the complexity of the topic. But that success didn't come without setbacks. A few days before the project was due, he said, he thought he had failed to find anything, but gathered up his notes because "I still had to submit something."
Going through his notes, he saw an identity he had derived, then crossed off as useless, that reminded him of another equation he had just read about.
"Standing there, staring at my failure, inspiration struck suddenly and forcefully," he said. "It felt like I'd just figured out how to divide by zero, and it was beautiful."
Holien, who plans to consider math or physics as a career, called the opportunity to do independent research in high school "absolutely invaluable."
"Having the experience of doing real science while I'm still in high school is an amazing experience, which I know will prepare me for this type of research in college and my career," he said.

This first assessment task is asking you to write a a short text, so you do not need to present it as a formal essay, rather look at it as a review - in the manner of a creative review you might find in a design or fine arts journal. Despite this, you still need to adhere to academic standards for referencing and copyright issues.
Many of you may be unsure how to put your thoughts, critical analysis and research into a coherent format. You will need to express your ideas in a concise and clear manner. The content presented in today's lecture will assist you in achieving a well written piece, which you will have time to work on, ask your teacher questions and get help in the workshop session.
In your own time, look through all four assessment tasks in the Unit Guide. You will see in the assessment rubric how each task addresses the elements listed above and the detailed performance criteria for each element.

Top Speeding Fines To Rise To 150% Of Your Week's Wages
By Holly Brockwell on at
The Sentencing Council has announced a series of changes to penalties in the UK, including a hike in the highest fines for speeding.
The BBC reports that at the moment, the maximum you can be charged for speeding is 100% of your week's earnings, with a cap of £1000 on roads and £2500 on motorways. But while the cash limits will stay the same when the new rules come into force on the 24th of April, the percentage has gone up - so magistrates can now fine you 1.5 times your week's wages as long as the total is below those caps.
For example, if you earn £600 a week, the most you can currently be fined for speeding on a normal road is £600. Commit the same offence after the 24th of April, and it'll be £900, plus the usual temporary disqualification or points on your licence. This only applies to the most serious instances of speeding, though - driving at 41mph+ in a 20 mile an hour zone, for example. There's a full list of the rules here.
New guidelines were also announced for other offences including animal cruelty and driving without insurance. In the former case, "the use of technology to publicise or promote cruelty" is now an aggravating factor - meaning offenders will receive a harsher punishment for livestreaming the act, for instance. We'd rather those people were pushed down a volcano, but this will do for a start. [BBC]
