Bruker Successfully Installs World's First 527 GHz Solid State DNP-NMR System
527 GHz Solid-State DNP-NMR system at University of Utrecht
World's Highest Field NMR system for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) now Driving New Research Applications in Biomolecular and Material Science in Europe
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, – March 18, 2013 – Today, Bruker announced the first successful installation and acceptance of its new 527 GHz Solid State DNP-NMR spectrometer at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. The 527 GHz system is the world's highest frequency spectrometer and is expected to open up new research areas in solid-state NMR applications.
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) significantly enhances the sensitivity of solid state NMR by transferring polarization from the electron spins to the nuclear spins. With DNP-NMR, completely new categories of samples can be investigated, with the potential to deliver much more detailed insights and a more comprehensive understanding of the interactions taking place at the molecular level.
With the installation heralding new opportunities, Professor Marc Baldus, Head of the NMR section at the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research at the University of Utrecht commented, "The new instrument will further enhance the possibilities to conduct NMR studies in complex biomolecules and materials".
Dr. Melanie Rosay, Product Manager for Hyperpolarization at Bruker BioSpin shares in the anticipation. "We are extremely excited about the first successful installation at Utrecht, since it includes various new components of Bruker's latest technology", she added. "In just a few years we have seen a tremendous growth in DNP-NMR applications in the areas of biological solids and material science research. The emerging DNP-NMR field has already benefitted from four installations of Bruker 263 GHz systems in Germany, Switzerland, France and The Netherlands, and two installations of our 395 GHz systems in Germany and Canada, and will be further enhanced by the world's first 527 GHz system in Utrecht.."
The innovative solid state DNP-NMR technology commercialized by Bruker finds its origins in the pioneering work of Professors Robert Griffin and Richard Temkin at MIT. The Solid State DNP-NMR systems utilizes novel Bruker gyrotrons as the high power microwave source, Bruker's Ascend™ 800 wide bore superconducting magnets, and ultra-fast AVANCE™ III HD electronics for the NMR detection.

Throughout history, 5-year plans have proven to be effective — after all, some famous ones changed the entire dynamic of a nation. Before going down the rabbit-hole of why a 5-year marketing strategy should be integral to your fund, let's do a quick mental exercise.
Think about how things worked 5 years ago.
In 2013, a good number of managers were using spreadsheets to manage their contacts and prospects. Some did them well, but it sure took a lot of work to keep them 100% accurate. Most of the time, they weren't 80% accurate. Now, most have adopted advanced CRM and full marketing automation platforms.
In 2013, it was still seen as acceptable to have an antiquated website; some even used it as a black-box marketing strategy. Flash forward to 2018: prospective investors are more sensitive to the sophistication of a manager's website. BlackRock, Bridgewater, Point72, and other "more traditional" managers have evolved.
In 2013, with the exception of the 50-page pitchbooks, marketing collaterals weren't used to attract prospective investors' attention. In 2014, we changed that when we launched the world's first hedge fund advertisement. Today, there are far more ways that managers capture attention and profile interest.
Clearly, the industry has changed. Investors are more knowledgeable and have more access to data and information than ever before. Doing the same thing will give you the same results. Try something new and get a 5-year marketing plan underway.
How does the 5-year plan help you?
First, realize that a marketing strategy plan is more than just marketing decks and pitch books: it's a blueprint for future growth. By creating a 5-year plan, you are preparing yourself for the long-term. Rather than scrambling to find more investors, the time you spent in creating a plan now (e.g., reviewing your fund strategy, growth opportunities, and competitors) will give you a peace of mind when you know that you have a steady stream of potential investors.
Plans give you metrics, so you can measure your success.
For investments, you want to measure your return on investment (ROI); why not the same for marketing? Your marketing strategy plan could (and should) include tangible goals. These pre-established objectives can then be used to measure whether your marketing efforts were successful or not. Even if goals are missed, you can still use the information to make sure it's done right the next time or to re-adjust your goals so it's more achievable.
Plans allow you to allocate resources to maximize their potential.
Resources are limited. Fund managers often have to balance their time between relationship managing and fund managing. When a marketing campaign is being prepared, it commonly becomes a problem of how much resources should be allocated for this "extra" but necessary task. This is something that should have already been outlined in a five-year strategic plan, which makes it easy to focus the resources where and when it is needed the most.
If you want to have more time to focus on your investment strategy, then get the hard part of sourcing investors out of the way — the first step is the five-year plan.
What does a good 5-year marketing strategy plan look like?
1. It identifies where you are now and where you want to be.
· Where do you thinking you stand in the industry? What is your niche?
· Who are your competitors? How do you compare? What can you learn from them?
· Is your goal tangible? Can you achieve that within five years?
· How do you get to your goal? What are the major changes that are needed?
· How can you break down those major changes? What are the components that are necessary to produce that change?
· How do you determine if you are successful? Is it quantifiable (if it isn't, you might want to think a bit harder)?
· Were you able to complete the action items in the past with the time and resources you are allocating now? If not, why do you believe it is possible now?
· Nothing comes free - even a small restaurant has to put in $100,000 for equipment before they can bring their first diner. How many resources are you willing to put aside to get the results you want? Where are you going to get those resources from?
To wrap up, here are some additional items to consider.
With more focus on marketing, fund managers should decide whether you want to outsource marketing or grow the marketing back office. Another important factor to consider is the timing of when marketing should start to kick in for your fund (i.e., early on or wait until growth has halted).
A good chess player thinks five steps ahead, but the best chess players think only one. It's a waste of time to try to predict what the alternative investment sphere would be like in fifty years — you can't.
What you can do is focus on the next five years — think one step ahead.

News Drilling deeper into the core disciplines
Drilling deeper into the core disciplines
While some schools are adding multiple elective subjects, co-curricular activities and overseas trips to their curriculum, St Catherine's School is narrowing and deepening its focus to the fundamental disciplines of English, mathematics, science and the humanities.
"Schools often attempt to do too many things and some disciplines are not really covered in great depth," says Robert Marshall, the Director of Teaching and Learning at St Catherine's. "What can happen is that a school's resources may be spread too thinly and it's difficult to really excel at anything."
Mr Marshall came to St Catherine's at the end of last year, having worked at the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and completing a Master's in educational leadership. Since his arrival, he has been targeting a "less is more" philosophy.
According to an OECD study that evaluated school systems around the world, Australia's standards of education have been declining since 2000, despite being one of the top-performing nations.
St Catherine's is combatting this by prioritising what's important. The school has increased the amount of time dedicated to those core subjects from years 7 to 10.
Mr Marshall says that there's often a "big jump" between year 10 and VCE. "The academic program in year 10 in many schools doesn't provide the necessary rigour and platform to launch into VCE," he says. "We want to reduce the gap."
St Catherine's gives year 10 students the opportunity to study a semester of biology, chemistry, physics or psychology, which Mr Marshall equates to two years of science at any other school.
"It's offering more choice to the girls. For example, if a student is far more interested in humanities or music or the arts, then they have an opportunity to explore that at greater depth.
"We are really trying to set up pathways for girls to follow their interests and passions." While it might seem like the school is taking a "back to basics" approach in its core learning, St Catherine's still boasts strong arts, music, sports, community service and wellbeing programs.
With around 80-90 girls in each year level, it's easy for the school to monitor the development of students beyond assessments and test scores. St Catherine's relies on teacher observations of how well students are engaging in discussion, answering questions, and staying on task. This year, they've also introduced "learning intentions" at the beginning of each class to make clear to students what they're learning and why.
The school's small size means that teachers are able to provide individual care and guidance when it's most needed, especially when it comes to VCE subject selection. "The girls are very well known and I think that's a distinct advantage for the school," MrMarshall adds. "It is one of the happiest schools I've ever seen." It's early days, but Mr Marshall believes
that St Catherine's efforts to sharpen its focus this year will deliver better results in year 12.
"It's going to take a year or two for the data to come in, but in my discussions with Heads of Faculty and the Principal, I would expect that by the end of Term 1 next year, we're going to have some very strong indications that we're on the right track," he says.
"Research supports the decisions we're making. There is no substitute for a quality teacher in front of a class…If you have a great teacher, great learning will happen for every single student."

I was looking around for some video editing software on Android and found both Quik and Premiere Clip rather nice. Quik automates more while Premiere Clip offers more control. With Quik it is though faster to make a bit more splashy videos.
I will have to play around with both of them more.
Had a nice lunch with my lovely wife today.

A beauty pageant. For teenagers. From the Ink People. Really.

Fifteen-year-old Ivee Walker really likes getting her hair and makeup done, and that's exactly what's happening right now. She's sitting in a padded swivel chair at Eureka's Linden and Company Salon & Spa, a black drape cinched around her neck while owner Linden Tyler Glavich curls her hair. He meticulously glides two extended fingers down a shimmering caramel lock, and when he nears the tips he pinches them in the beak of his curling iron. As he rolls it toward Ivee's scalp, she looks at her reflection in the white-framed mirror -- shy but happy. "I love it," she says. "I could spend hours sitting here and letting somebody play with my hair."
Diminutive and classically pretty, Ivee also loves dressing up in fancy clothes. Getting all girlie, she calls it. The makeup, the hair, flowing gowns and flowery corsages -- it's just fun, she says. When she was a child in Palm Desert her parents entered her in beauty pageants, starting when she was 3. "I wasn't in it very long because my parents couldn't afford it," she says. "But it was lots of fun."
Today's makeover is a sort of test run in preparation for an upcoming pageant, Ivee's first since she was a toddler. A few months ago, she and her family moved to Humboldt County, in part to spend more time with Ivee's grandma. Shortly after arriving Ivee started volunteering at the nonprofit Ink People Center for the Arts. One day in the Ink People offices, now located on the third floor of the Carson Block Building in Old Town Eureka, Ivee saw a flier featuring a diamond-studded tiara on a jet-black background.
"American Beauty Pageant," the poster read. "Girls (14-19 years of age) are going to compete for the first ever American Beauty title. They are going to present their finest eveningwear, talent, intelligence & swimwear on July 4." The winner gets the title, a six-month spokesmodeling gig for a new clothing boutique and $200. For Ivee, this was a perfect opportunity to "get all girlie" and maybe make some friends in the process.
Also in the salon today is Holley Russell, a tall, thin, 17-year-old cheerleader who will be a senior at McKinleyville High in the fall. She, too, is excited to be a contestant in the pageant, which will be held on Independence Day from noon to 2 p.m. at the Eagle House ballroom in Old Town. Holley, wearing a full-length emerald green gown, stands off to the side with her mom while Linden curls Ivee's hair. He's already coiffed Holley's hair into a swirling espresso cascade splashing over her shoulders.
Holley discovered the American Beauty Pageant a few weeks ago in the events listings on Facebook. "I've always had an interest in modeling and fashion," she says. "I just saw it and was like, 'Oh, that sounds like fun.'"
"Fun" is the adjective of choice here. And as we all know, wherever teenagers are having fun there are bound to be disapproving adults nearby. Carrie Maschmeier, Ink People's programs manager, discovered that almost immediately upon advertising the American Beauty Pageant. The first comment to appear on the pageant's Facebook page was critical of the very concept of a beauty pageant and chastised the Ink People for associating with it, Maschmeier said in a recent interview.
"Basically [the commenter] said that she did not support beauty pageants... that it was destructive for body image and she would definitely not be attending," Maschmeier said. She deleted the woman's comment (and similar complaints that followed) to keep the page's vibe positive, she said, and then proceeded with the planning. But when she reached out to potential sponsors she encountered more indignation.
"Frankly I'm surprised the Ink People would sanction such a thing!" Wildberries Marketplace owner Phil Ricord responded via email. "I can't in good conscience. Am I missing something?"
Ricord wasn't missing anything -- the beauty pageant is exactly what it seems. And that's the problem, according to critics. Here in post-feminist Humboldt County we like our women visibly liberated and our pageants wacky and ironic. Fashion shows and beauty contests, if they happen at all, tend to be playful inversions that critique the Miss America model: men in drag or clothing fashioned from garbage.
Maschmeier has continued to field negative feedback -- from shop owners who don't like the flier, Facebookers who don't like the concept, even fellow members of the Ink People who worry about the message it's sending to impressionable young girls like Ivee and Holley. (A swimsuit contest? Really?!)
But the girls themselves aren't worried. "I just think it's a fun experience," Ivee says again. "I've always wanted to do something like this, just have the experience, make friends and look pretty."
Is anything wrong with that?
Many people think there's plenty wrong with that -- and it's not just adults. "Being a teenage girl, we already go through so much pressure to be beautiful, to be perfect, and I don't think beauty contests really help us overcome that," 17-year-old Sonja Goetsch-Avila said in a recent phone conversation. Sonja, who will be a senior at Arcata High in the fall, volunteers for Spare Change, a program of Six Rivers Planned Parenthood in which teens teach their Humboldt County peers about such angst-ridden topics as their emerging sexuality, bullying, homophobia and body image.
She said the camps she has attended through the Spare Change program have helped her see the underlying messages in advertising, including the narrow definition of female beauty. She believes beauty pageants don't help. "Who are the judges to say that one woman is more beautiful than the next by judging her in a swimsuit?" she asked. And she worries about the effect on the girls who don't win the crown. "The pressure to be perfect and flawless weighs down on most teenage girls every day. Do they need one more professional telling them they're not beautiful enough?"
Michelle Frisco, an associate professor of sociology and demography at Penn State, said more or less the same thing. "There's a tremendous amount of pressure on girls to meet beauty expectations," she said in a recent phone interview. "I think that the less pressure we put on them ... the better off they are."
Frisco recently coauthored a study on weight and weight perceptions among adolescents. With the barrage of body-related messages teens see daily -- from media worship of bulimic fashion models to news reports on the obesity epidemic -- it's no surprise that there's a relationship between body perceptions and depression. But that relationship is complicated. One of the study's surprising findings was that overweight girls are actually less prone to depression than normal-weight girls who think they're overweight.
And that's a populous category. In 2003 Teen magazine reported that 35 percent of girls 6 to 12 years old have been on at least one diet, and 50 to 70 percent of normal-weight girls believe they're overweight. Even skinny girls aren't comfortable in their skin. A Harvard University study found that up to two-thirds of underweight 12-year-old girls considered themselves too fat. By age 17, up to eight in 10 girls are dissatisfied with what they see in the mirror, the Harvard study found.
By the time they reach college-age, one in every four women uses unhealthy methods of weight control, including fasting, skipping meals, overexercising, laxative abuse and self-induced vomiting, according to Anorexia Nervosa & Related Eating Disorders, Inc., a research group.
It's no surprise that girls' body dissatisfaction starts around the age when many receive their first Barbie-doll, whose elongated hourglass figure makes a mockery of human anatomy. The nonprofit Media Awareness Network reports that a woman with Barbie-doll proportions simply wouldn't function, according to scientists: "Her back would be too weak to support the weight of her upper body, and her body would be too narrow to contain more than half a liver and a few centimeters of bowel. A real woman built that way would suffer from chronic diarrhea and eventually die from malnutrition."
Certain multimillion-dollar industries have strong incentives to promote impossible beauty standards. Media analysts and social critics argue that the beauty industry deliberately perpetuates unobtainable goals to establish what's known as "normative discontent." The Media Awareness Network, for example, says that "by presenting an ideal difficult to achieve and maintain, the cosmetic and diet product industries are assured of growth and profits."
We all know that photos of models and movie stars are airbrushed to remove "imperfections." But many idolized bodies are bogus in the flesh, too. Miss Universe contestants, for example, are frequently sliced, diced and suctioned into shape, as revealed by this disturbing passage from Cosmetic Surgery Today, an industry news website: "In recent years, pageant contestants from Asia have been going under the knife to achieve a more westernized look, while pageant winners from South America have undergone liposuction and cellulite reduction procedures."
"Most pageants have a very rigid idea of what is beautiful -- and that's white and western," said Susan McGee, an instructor in Humboldt State University's Critical Race, Gender & Sexuality Studies department. In an email to the Journal, McGee said she is "emphatically opposed" to the American Beauty Pageant on a number of fronts -- its exclusion of males, its role in supporting the beauty and cosmetics industry and its presumed support of the rigid beauty standard, to name a few.
But she has more serious reservations involving the safety of the girls who enter. Beauty pageants, she said, contribute to "the eroticization and sexualization of young girls, teaching them that it is their bodies -- and a certain type of body -- that makes them valuable. ... I believe that this eroticization contributes to sexual abuse of girls, and certainly allows people to put the blame for rape on girls for acting in 'seductive' ways, i.e. ways that they have been taught by the dominant culture."
Even if such girls are not abused or raped, McGee said they could still be a danger to themselves. "[Y]ounger women are particularly vulnerable to eating disorders -- which are very serious and potentially fatal."
So, yes, it's fair to say some people see beauty pageants as potentially destructive. For Wildberries Marketplace owner Phil Ricord, who balked at a sponsorship request, the most alarming part was that a traditional beauty pageant was being sanctioned by such a well-respected community arts organization. "I mean, I can't believe that [Ink People director and co-founder] Libby Maynard would let the Ink People be associated with a beauty contest," Ricord told the Journal. "That blows my mind."
Carrie Maschmeier, a 30-year-old Eureka native with bleached-blond hair and three sterling silver hoops through her lower lip, is the Ink People's programs manager and the creative force behind Factory Girl, one of the nonprofit's latest programs under the DreamMaker initiative. DreamMaker programs are self-sufficient community arts projects that have been approved by the Ink People's board of directors and incorporated under the agency's nonprofit umbrella. Approximately 60 such programs are currently active, ranging from dance troupes to community theater, Hmong and Native American groups, youth arts projects and everything in between.
Maschmeier's idea for Factory Girl is to provide a space for free sewing and crafting classes where students can learn print-making, silk screening and more. The group recently completed its first task -- sewing extra-long pants for the stilt-walkers who lope around the Arcata Farmer's Market -- and the beauty pageant will be its first fundraiser, expanding awareness for Factory Girl while bringing in money through sponsorships, concessions, two-dollar admissions at the door and a $25 entry fee per contestant.
Maschmeier said she's been surprised by the negative responses to the event. When she was putting up a flier in a local boutique, a female employee remarked, "Oh, that's so sad." Of the 20 or so potential sponsors she approached only four had signed on as of late last week. "Even within the Ink People I'd say at least half of the volunteers, members or people dropping in, they say they support me and my efforts but they absolutely do not support a beauty pageant or anything of its kind," Maschmeier said.
The pageant was suggested by a couple of young volunteers, and Maschmeier is standing behind it because of what it means to the girls involved. "I support passion," she said. "Some girls want to be a part of it and are really enthusiastic about it, and I totally support that. That's my stance on it."
Ink People Director Libby Maynard said she, too, expects more than a typical beauty pageant from the organization. The notion of inner beauty is central to her own ethos, she said. "We probably have a dozen programs at the Ink People that are all about helping to build self-esteem. I would think that this [pageant] would be done in a way that would help build self-esteem, not drag it down or destroy it." Maynard admitted, however, that she had not talked to anyone about the details of the event or the rationale behind it.
Julian Lang, president of the Ink People's board of directors, said in an email to the Journal, "Peering over the shoulders of artists is not a duty of Ink People board members. ... It's true that an artistic vision can be controversial." The board's role in such instances, he said, is to help artists respond to their critics -- or, as he called them, "folks who have trouble understanding what they [the artists] are doing artistically."
Another board member, Megan Workman, said she personally would prefer an event that doesn't rank or judge the girls. Nevertheless, she said she's confident that Maschmeier is handling the event well. "I think potentially it could be a really great experience for Carrie and the girls involved," Workman said.
The foyer of Linden and Company Salon & Spa has been done up in an Arctic motif: The carpet, the furniture, the throw pillows -- everything's in shades of alabaster, ivory and milk. Ivee and Holley sit -- in their formal gowns and with excellent posture -- on the edges of chairs that have been arranged around a decorative fireplace (complete with a white-metal protective grate). Atop the eggshell-colored mantel sits the only black item in the room -- the plastic frame around a 40-inch flat-screen TV. It is tuned to a fashion show featuring skeletal models in loud-print sundresses, somehow managing to navigate a catwalk on their emaciated limbs.
"Modeling would be fun," Ivee says, "but it's also kind of an unrealistic goal. I want to be a lawyer."
"I want to be a nurse," Holley responds. "Or a pastry chef. I'm kind of debating."
Both girls shrug off the concerns about the beauty pageant. People are looking at it the wrong way, they say. And besides, life is full of competitions. This just happens to be the one they're interested in.
"They have valedictorians at schools, and I'm never gonna be a valedictorian -- I'm not that smart," Ivee says matter-of-factly.
"Everyone has something that they're good at. You just have to find it," Holley agrees. "I'm not really good at anything, but I like to put on makeup and put on a pretty dress."
Do they worry about people judging them exclusively on how they look?
"I mean, sure, there's always gonna be that at school and stuff," Ivee says. "But I have my friends. I know who they are. And they're not gonna ditch me if I have a bad hair day."
Ivee is confident about the interview portion of the competition because she says she's good at talking. As for the swimsuit contest, they're both looking forward to it. "It's about the only time we get to wear our swimsuits here," Holley says. Asked if it makes her nervous at all, Holley replies with something of a non sequitur.
"I think the harshest critics are ourselves," she says. Meaning what? "Like I think, 'Oh my hair is this way, it needs to be this way' sometimes. Or, 'I need to lose some more weight.'" After a beat she adds, "But I'm happy with myself."
"I don't physically think I need to lose weight?" Ivee chimes in, her inflection turning a statement into a question. "But sometimes if I can't fit into my [size] zeroes I do get a little self-conscious. I'm like, 'Oh no, am I getting fat? I can't fit into my zeroes!' But then I look at myself and I'm like, 'No, you're not getting fat.'"
Outwardly Ivee and Holley don't seem too bothered by these competing voices ("You're fat," "No, you're not"). Their nervous energy and timorous smiles suggest that they're enjoying today's pampering -- the makeup, the hairstyling ... even the interview from a journalist supplies a hint of the supermodel lifestyle.
News Cover Story


Mash-Up DJ Jesse Tack created an unofficial hit version of the song in January.
When Jesse Tack's boss came to him in January and asked him to try and blend Carrie Underwood's cover of Randy Travis' 1988 hit "I Told You So" — from her 2007 Carnival Ride album — with the original, Tack never imagined that his creation would lead to an "American Idol" moment.
But there it was Wednesday night (March 18) on the "Idol" stage, where Underwood and Travis got together for the live debut of the recently recorded, official version of the duet. And Tack couldn't have been prouder.
Soon after Underwood's single version of "I Told You So" dropped in early January, Tack, 26, who works the 7 p.m.-to-midnight shift at Cincinnati country station WUBE-FM (B105.1), got a request from his program director to work on a mash-up. Six hours later, Tack emerged with a blend of the two songs that was seamless, combining Travis' low-register vocals to Underwood's higher voice on the chorus.
The song was an instant hit on the station when it debuted on January 14, and when country music consultant Jaye Albright got her hands on it, she sent it out to 75 other stations she works with. "After I put it together in the studio, within five seconds I thought, 'This is going to be something special,' " said the Iowa-born Tack, whose identical-twin brother, Joey Tack, is a hip-hop radio DJ in Tennessee.
The phones at 'UBE lit up instantly. Tack said he began getting calls from all over the country every night from listeners and DJs praising his work and asking for copies. To date, the YouTube video he created has gotten nearly 100,000 views, but the biggest compliment was when Tack found out the country superstars would be performing the song on "Idol" and had recorded an official version.
He hasn't heard from either artist so far about his grassroots experiment, but Tack can't help but feel like he helped get the ball rolling. "My hope was that they would record it as a duet, and they have," he said on Tuesday. Tack said he was going to be stuck at work when the show aired, but he would definitely take a break to tune in and that he'd be recording it at home, where he suspected he would probably watch it a "couple hundred" times.
"There will be a bit part of me thinking, 'C'mon, they wouldn't have done this because of some little station in Cincinnati doing a version,' " he said. "But then I'll think back to the hundreds and hundreds of e-mails I've gotten, and I have to think that some of those stations playing it have to have talked to the labels and asked about an official remix or duet.

Lions Love (…and Lies)(LFM 2018)
Agnes Varda's most ambitious American film. A woman and two men—Viva, a Warhol superstar, and James Rado and Gerome Ragni, who created and starred in the rock musical "Hair"—live and love together in a rented house in Hollywood, until Shirley Clarke, an underground director from New York arrives to make a movie. Shot in Los Angeles in 1968, this playful yet tragic docu-fiction captured the revolutionary moment of the US society.
"The original title was Lions, Loves and Lies but the actors found it too long, too heavy, and too explicit."
Agnes Varda
Viva, Gerome Vagni, James Rado, Shirley Clarke


Menards is having its 11% "Rebate" on everything in the store from July 8 through July 14.
Sometimes this means that we can see participating Home Depot and Lowes stores offer it (with stricter terms), so let's keep our fingers crossed.
You gave thanks to jasonjayhawk for this post.
jasonjayhawk posted this deal. Say thanks!
Not sometimes for HD. They always do, as long as your HD has a Menards in the vicinity. HD's 11% is better too in that you don't have to actually mail anything in, just submit online.
Anyone know of a website that has a historical record of which dates Menards has done 11%?
As of right now, the Lowe's 11% rebate PDF is still showing the date range of 5/10-5/16. I'm not sure if Lowe's is participating in this round.
The OP was right with their statement since its not all HDs.
if lowes matches that will be pretty sweet for me combined with their appliance sale, 10% coupon, and 10% back amex deal..
as with all amex deals, ymmmv. got 10% back at Staples too..
Remember Menard's also has the "secret" rebate for any purchases made within about 2 weeks prior to the 11% rebate. They do this so people don't return all the stuff they bought before the rebate, and then re-buy it during the rebate.
Just ask at the return desk for the pre-rebate price adjustment form during the 11% rebate period (they won't give it to you earlier). I've done it many times and it has always worked.
only works on full price items, not sale price.

Teaching Twitter and blogs in Schools…..
Pupils to study Twitter and blogs in primary shake-up | Education | The Guardian.
What were they thinking!
This is in the UK at a primary school where they are changing their curriculum to include Twitter and Wikipedia. They will be cutting Victorian History and the second World War. You can read the article from The Guardian below or follow the link above for more information. What were they thinking!…
excerpt from The Guardian dated 3/25/09, written by: Polly Curtis
Children will no longer have to study the Victorians or the second world war under proposals to overhaul the primary school curriculum, the Guardian has learned.
However, the draft plans will require children to master Twitter and Wikipedia and give teachers far more freedom to decide what youngsters should be concentrating on in classes.
The proposed curriculum, which would mark the biggest change to primary schooling in a decade, strips away hundreds of specifications about the scientific, geographical and historical knowledge pupils must accumulate before they are 11 to allow schools greater flexibility in what they teach.
It emphasises traditional areas of learning – including phonics, the chronology of history and mental arithmetic – but includes more modern media and web-based skills as well as a greater focus on environmental education.
The plans have been drawn up by Sir Jim Rose, the former Ofsted chief who was appointed by ministers to overhaul the primary school curriculum, and are due to be published next month.
The papers seen by the Guardian are draft plans for the detailed content of each of six core "learning areas" that Rose is proposing should replace the current 13 standalone subject areas.
The proposals would require:
• Children to leave primary school familiar with blogging, podcasts, Wikipedia and Twitter as sources of information and forms of communication. They must gain "fluency" in handwriting and keyboard skills, and learn how to use a spellchecker alongside how to spell.
• Less emphasis on the use of calculators than in the current curriculum.

Public art's main virtue is to exist beyond the imposed hierarchies of museum and galleries. Out in the open the works, orphans of preconceptions, confront an unacquainted public, perhaps igniting a sense of wonder.
Ibrahim Mahama's spectacular installations of sewn coal sacks are the result of his investigation of the conditions of supply and demand in African markets. The final product – the art – is equally displayed in market places thus defying the artifacts' intrinsic value system.

Q: Voltdb + gwan with c++ I have decided use GWAN like my application server and I wish use voltdb for storage the data. Anybody has employed both together?.
I will develop it in C++.

A: In a recent online Game demo presented at the ORACLE Open World expo in SFO, we did not use voltDB but rather ORACLE noSQL, which is a Java (distributed) KV store.
Since we used G-WAN as a Database cache accelerator for 100 millions of records updated in realtime (on one single server), I guess that this experience is relevant in your case because voltDB does not handle this kind of TPS rates.
You say very little about your project so I will describe what we did in our demo: the C servlet created worker threads. Some were used to update the position (direction, orientation, speed) of the bots, and others were used to push the modifications to the remote Java-based noSQL KV store.
This allowed this same servlet to reply in realtime to human players that sent their new position and queried the lists of all nearby bots (also parallelized).
This was made possible by the fact that G-WAN supports both C and Java servlets: C offered compact data structures for the cache (100 millions of records consume a fair amount of RAM) and Java allowed G-WAN to talk to the noSQL DB.
I don't know what your application will be doing but at least you have an example of such a case using G-WAN and a (huge) DB that had to react in realtime.
G-WAN supports C and C++ servlets so you can use your favorite C++ libraries.

A: I work at VoltDB.  We aren't aware of anyone who has tried this, but we had a similar question recently on our forum: http://community.voltdb.com/node/1862.

Home Latest News Elon Musk gets permission to do a little digging for his Hyperloop
Elon Musk gets permission to do a little digging for his Hyperloop
Image: peter parks/AFP/Getty Images
By Heather Dockray 2018-02-17 22:37:45 UTC
It's been far easier for Elon Musk to send a rocket to the Mars than move a pebble in Washington, D.C.
That could be changing, according to The Washington Post. The SpaceX entrepreneur's tunnel digging company, The Boring Company, recently received vague permission to do some exploratory digging at 53 New York Avenue NE.
Musk is hoping to build a high speed hyperloop between New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and D.C. The loop will be capable of moving passengers at very high speeds thanks to depressurized tubes and magnet-levitated pods.
The digging site could become a hyperloop station, though plans remain mostly theoretical at this point.
"We're just beginning, in the mayor's office, our conversation to get an understanding of what the general vision is for Hyperloop," John Falcicchio, chief of staff to D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, told The Washington Post.
Musk's permit was the only good thing to come out of Trump's infrastructure week. So. Yay.

This iPhone photo isn't nearly as good as the setting sun looked in person, but it was a hot sun. Very orange. Fiery.
When we were kids, my mother used to tell us that a bright orange setting sun meant it was going to be hot the next day.
That old adage doesn't really apply in Tucson, since it's always fairly hot (for me, anyway), but this week it definitely applies. Today hovered around 111 and tomorrow is going to be a blistering 115 degrees.
That's just not normal. Unless maybe if you're in Saudi Arabia.
The steering wheel in the car was so hot today, I burned the prints off three fingers. It's oppressive. The wind is hot, like a blowdryer.
We are almost never here during this time of year. But since we've got this dedicated run, we're only gone two and a half days a week.
It's going to be a brutal summer.


Ah, repercussions! If, like most proficient smartphone users, you have a plethora of mobile apps that facilitate your banking, communication, travel, and shopping needs you have undoubtedly been swamped with prompts to accept new privacy policies from your apps.
The EU, actually. Prior to the Facebook debacle, when news outlets exposed the misuse of personal data culled from the social media giant's site, privacy policies prevailed… to an extent. But once the user data ended up in the hands of the political consultancy firm Cambridge Analytica, adherence to the rules of the game changed.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a European Union legal framework adopted well before the Facebook data breach, established guidelines for the collection and processing of personal data and privacy of EU citizens. The very recently updated GDPR replaced an obsolete data protection "directive" created way back in 1995. The Facebook breach led to further evolution; a mandate was issued requiring full implementation with stricter rules, and took effect on May 25th2018.
The additional regulations put consumers back in control of their personal information. Who could have thought a small business owner in Poland – or even the United States – would have their business seriously impacted by legislation revised in Belgium?
The good news? The law only applies to companies if the consumer is in the EUwhen the data is gathered. An EU citizen whose data is collected while outside the EU is not protected under the GDPR.
A collaborative effort among several European nations, likely led by Germany where data privacy is held in especially high regard, the GDPR is composed of several key components allowing consumers to control their data. For example, at some point we've all "unchecked" the opt-in box to receive marketing material/ data sharing upon registering at a new website. Under the expanded GDPR, the opt-in boxes will no longer be pre-checked. Agreement now requires a positive opt-in.
Full details on user protection and privacy, as well as compliance tips, can be found here.
Not surprisingly, backlash and controversy prevails. Some feel innovation would be stifled through the lack of data access used for artificial intelligence and machine learning. Furthermore, law enforcement may be hampered by a lack of data sharing. A recent piece in the Wall Street Journal refers to the GDPR as, "The EU's Gift to Cybercriminals," since police little or no access to vital crime solving data.
Either way, considering the implications – and hefty penalties- for non-compliance it looks like company data security officers will certainly have their hands full.

Suffolk DA Tim Sini: Arrests made in rash of East End fatal overdoses
Two alleged drug dealers have been arrested in connection with the ongoing investigation into a spate of fatal overdoses on the East End, Suffolk County authorities said Thursday.
Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini said Lavain Creighton, 51, of Greenport, sold what police believe was fentanyl-laced cocaine on Aug. 13 to two victims who later died. Sini said authorities were able to link Creighton with the fatal overdose victims through text messages and geographical location data.
Sini said Justin Smith, 46, of Smithtown, was Creighton's alleged supplier, though he said Smith's role in any of the fatal overdoses was still under investigation.
Authorities have said that six people have died as a result of overdoses of what police believe was the powerful opioid fentanyl in cocaine on the North Fork and on Shelter Island between Aug. 5 and 13.
Sini said authorities "moved swiftly" to arrest Smith and Creighton and extinguish a "public health threat." Sini said investigators are examining whether Creighton may be linked to two other overdose deaths and urged anyone who purchased drugs from the two defendants in recent weeks to contact police.
"Our message is clear," said Sini. "If you are selling drugs in Suffolk County and you kill someone, we will hold you accountable for the death and destruction you have caused."
Sini, as well as State Sens. Todd Kamisky (D-Long Beach), Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) and Assemb. Judy Grifn (D-Rockville Centre) and Jodi Giglio (R- Riverhead), who have co-sponsored state legislation calling for a "death by dealer" statute, renewed calls Thursday for a vote on the proposal that would allow prosecutors to press murder charges against a drug dealer accused of selling to a fatal overdose victim.
In 2020, there were approximately 400 fatal opioid overdoses in Suffolk County, Sini said.
Police have identied Swainson Brown, 40, of Shelter Island, as one of the overdose victims. The others were only identied as a 34-year-old Greenport woman, a 25-year-old Southold man, a 30-year-old Southold man, a 27-year-old Greenport man and a 32-year-old East Marion man.
Southampton Town police are examining an Aug. 8 likely overdose death to see if there were any ties to the other deaths, Southampton Town Police Chief Steven Skrynecki said Thursday. A 64-year-old man died and a white powdery substance was found nearby, the chief said.
Creighton was charged with six counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance and ordered held without bail at his arraignment Thursday.
Smith was charged with third- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and two counts of second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia and his bail was set at $500,000 bond or $200,000 cash.
Smith's defense attorney, Anthony Scheller, pleaded not guilty on behalf of his client.
"My client adamantly denies any connection with" the East End overdoses, and he noted there was no allegation of fentanyl being found in his home.
Creighton's attorney, Lane Bubka of Riverhead, said his client also pleaded not guilty and called the evidence presented by prosecutors "very circumstantial at best."
"There is no direct evidence that my client actually sold them drugs," said Bubka.
On Wednesday, authorities including the DA's East End Drug Task Force and Heroin Task Force and the police department's Emergency Services Unit executed a search warrant at Smith's home and found cocaine, two digital scales, packaging materials, a drug ledger, almost $3,000 in cash and ve cellphones, Sini said.
Sini said on Aug. 13 at 12:30 p.m., Southold Town police responded to a reported drug overdose on Rocky Point Road in East Marion. The overdose victim's phone contained "numerous text messages" between the victim and Creighton that were "consistent with narcotics sales" on 13 different days between July 9 and Aug. 12., Sini said.
The DA also said a surveillance camera captured the victim's car "driving in the direction" of Creighton's residence at 9:21 p.m. on Aug. 12.
In the second instance, Sini said Shelter Island Police responded to a fatal overdose on Aug. 13 at 10:16 p.m. and the victim in that case had placed several calls to Creighton between 8:58 p.m. and 10:11 p.m. on Aug. 12.
Sini also said the victim took a ferry from Shelter Island to Greenport at 9:18 p.m. and at 9:35 p.m. made two calls to Creighton.

And there have been many, many times in Hannah's life when she could have given up hope. But she's not interested in that.
Hannah stopped listening a long time ago to what people think. In her experience, they've often been wrong. That's because the people who are looking at her are looking at who she is on paper, and they don't see what's right in front of them. Recently, Hannah re-fractured her right femur. If you've ever experienced the pain that accompanies fracturing the largest bone in the body, you know it is not an experience for the faint of heart. But Hannah is no stranger to pain. After all, she has sustained over 160 fractures in her life.
The words Osteogenesis Imperfecta mean something to this community. If you asked someone on the street, chances are they couldn't tell you what it was, but if you ask any Chiver, they'll immediately start talking about a little girl named Zoe Lush. Hannah and Zoe share this diagnosis, among many other things. Both girls have brittle bones but courageous hearts. They are two of the strongest people you will ever meet.
When doctors read about Hannah, they read about a girl who was born with 16 fractures that she had obtained in utero. They read about a girl who stayed in the hospital for the first 41 days of her life. They read about a girl who got a respiratory infection that turned into pneumonia, and broke 4 ribs from coughing. They read about a girl who loses her breath easily, who uses a pulsoximeter, oxygen concentrator, and nebulizer to accomplish what the rest of us can do by inhaling deeply. They read about a girl with a bone density score of -6 who needs 24-hour care to prevent fracturing or breaking her bones.
What the charts can't tell them is that Hannah is one of the brightest people her age. Despite being homeschooled much of her life because of the danger public school presents, Hannah scores better than most of her peers. The charts don't mention that she is extremely tech-savvy, that she has taught herself how to use Photoshop and dreams of one day becoming a graphic designer. They don't tell you how she plays a guitar that's bigger than she is, that she is a go-getter but also a girly girl, that she is one of the biggest Beyoncé fans on the planet, and that she has shattered just about every expectation people have made for her since the day she was born.
So, the doctors make their assumptions about who Hannah is and how much she can handle, but then they meet her – under 3 feet tall and not even 60 pounds, and they realize their calculations left out something very crucial: her spirit. Her tenacious, bold, and determined spirit, bigger than most people's who are triple her size, and the doctors realize with a shock that they know nothing, absolutelynothing, about what she is capable of.
Hannah's here! From that smile, you wouldn't think she's already sustained 16 fractures (2 from the forceps used to deliver her) already in her short life.
Hannah was on oxygen every day for the first two years of her life. Then with sheer will power, she managed to ween herself off of it.
A fracture of any kind can land Hannah in the hospital for days. No matter how innocuous the accident – it could be as simple as hugging a friend or climbing into bed – presents a wealth of complications for Hannah.
Aquatic therapy is a huge help to Hannah! It's in water that she gets to be free, one of the few places in the world she can feel that way.
Is it obvious yet that Hannah is a Beyoncé fan? Well, this tech-savvy supporter was a frequent commenter on one of Beyoncé's fan club pages. Something about Hannah's genuine admiration of Queen B must have stood out, because Beyoncé herself reached out to Hannah and asked if she could meet her.
Look at these two examples of strong women!
But Hannah's real best friend is the same woman who's been behind her since the beginning. She's been her protector and her biggest fan. The woman who began by fighting for Hannah's life, and then Hannah led by example: mom Valerie.
So, we've established that Hannah is a force of strength and grace. We've determined that she is the same caliber of person as the rest of our Chive Charitiesrecipients, with her tenacious spirit and permanent smile. But, how did she become the newest addition to the Chive Charities family? How did she hear about an organization that wants to make her life (and the world) 10% happier?
Stephanie Smith. Stephanie's sister, Melissa Smith, has become something of a hero in our community over the last couple years. After witnessing Melissa's journey firsthand, Stephanie knew how important it was to feel comfortable in your own skin. So when she started her photography business, she made sure to focus on photographing people with physical or mental disabilities to remind them, always, how beautiful they are.
One day, Stephanie had a photography session with a girl named Hannah.
Hannah's quick wit and charming personality are infectious, and she and Stephanie formed an instant connection. When Stephanie began asking questions about Hannah's future and her aspirations, it became apparent to her that Hannah's dreams were big… but so were her obstacles.
Hannah faces many challenges in her future. The most pressing one is surgery on her severe scoliosis, which has graduated from an inconvenience to now presenting a serious threat to Hannah's health. Her spine curves inwards, towards her lungs. Because Hannah already suffers from issues with her lungs, this situation is scarier for her than most. She will require frequent trips to the hospital very soon, but her transportation was neither safe nor reliable. The ramp in their wheelchair-accessible van would often get stuck or not work. They were having engine trouble that Valerie couldn't afford to fix. And because she's been raising Hannah on a single-parent income, many of Hannah's belongings were not adapted to her size or needs.
This conversation gave Stephanie an idea. She told Hannah that there were a whole bunch of people that wanted to help, people Hannah had never met. She told her to reach out to the greatest community in the world.
With a $35,000 grant, Chive Charities changed Hannah's life. Now, she has a reliable way to get back and forth to the hospital, appointments, and guitar lessons, with wheelchair-accessible Dodge Caravan thanks to our partners at BraunAbility. She can sleep securely and comfortably on a modified bed, and sit for hours in her padded junior chair as she works towards her graphic design degree.
Valerie walked out of that office and never saw that doctor again. She chose to fight. And four months later she delivered a healthy and happy baby girl named Hannah. And Hannah chose to fight. And now, 16 years later, Chive Charities has chosen to fight alongside her.

Petrol price over Rs...
Petrol price over Rs 85 in Mumbai, crosses Rs 80 in Kolkata
| 24 May 2018 6:30 PM GMT
New Delhi, May 24: Petrol price in Mumbai breached the Rs 85 a litre mark on Thursday and sold at Rs 85.29 per litre. The price of the fuel is already at an all-time high in Mumbai along with Delhi and Chennai and is now creating new benchmarks daily. In Delhi and Chennai, petrol was sold for Rs 77.47 and Rs 80.42 per litre respectively, according to data on the website of Indian Oil Corp. Kolkata on Thursday joined the club with petrol prices over Rs 80 per litre, at Rs 80.12, the highest in nearly four years.
The persistent rise in transport fuel prices in the country is largely attributed to the surge in crude oil prices and high excise duty. The price of Brent crude oil is currently over $79 per barrel. There have been demands for government intervention to curb the price rise. Diesel prices, which have already reached unprecedented levels, set new records across the country. In Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, it was sold at Rs 68.53, Rs 71.08, Rs 72.96 and Rs 72.35 per litre respectively. (IANS)

Tila Tequila Attempts Suicide After Fading into Obscurity
Tila Tequila, once a hugely popular MTV reality star who has since faded into obscurity, reportedly attempted suicide, leading to her hospitalization and the discovery of a brain aneurysm. She may be partially paralyzed.
The reality personality, real name Tila Nguyen, reportedly overdosed on drugs and was hospitalized for a week with a life-threatening brain aneurysm. She was released today and reportedly confined to a wheelchair.
A roommate told the police that Tila had "tried to kill herself all week," according to gossip site TMZ. An ambulance was called to her San Diego home at 1:30 AM last Wednesday (Feb. 29) and she was taken to St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, CA.
Casey Johnson Privileged Life Ended in Squalor
Tila was in and out of consciousness in the house, and officials decided she needed psychiatric help as well, TMZ reported.
Nguyen first gained public attention when she appeared Playboy's Cyber Girl feature in 2002. She became the first Asian Cyber Girl of the Month, and appeared in other pictorials in Stuff and Maxim magazines.
She was one of the first social media stars on MySpace and her popularity led to an MTV reality show called "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila." It aired for two seasons starting in 2007. After the show her life began to spiral downward.
Tila Tequila Cuts Sex Tape to Lift Career
In 2009, she was roughed up by her then boyfriend Shawne Merriman, who was later arrested, but not charged. They sued each other, but the case blew up in her face after she failed to respond to the case and Merriman won a $2 million default judgment.
She also declared she was a lesbian that year and started dating heiress Casey Johnson. But Johnson, a diabetic, died suddenly a year later. Tila was blamed by her friends for encouraging Casey's wild lifestyle, which led to her death.
She tried to revive her music career a year later, but was viciously attacked when she went onstage at a concert featuring the Insane Clown Posse and the Kottonmouth Kings, whose fans loathed her.
Kelly Osbourne: Enough About Casey Johnson Already
The scandal surrounding Johnson's death all but trashed her career because of her tawdry efforts to exploit the relationship, even after Johnson died in squalor.
In a bid to lift her profile and make money, she resorted to making a lesbian sex tape last year through Vivid Entertainment, which also sells Kim Kardashian's sex tape.

(ĕd`wərd mī`brĭj), 1830–1904, English-born photographer and student of animal locomotion. Muybridge changed his name from Edward James Muggeridge. A gifted and obsessed eccentric, he was a photographic innovator who left a vast and enormously varied body of work. He immigrated to the United States in the early 1850s and settled in San Francisco. In 1872 he made some experiments in photographing moving objects for the U.S. government. Afterward he was engaged by Leland StanfordStanford, Leland,

He invented mechanical camera shutters (early 1870s) and the zoöpraxiscope (1881), which projected what he called "serial photographs" on a screen, producing images that appeared to move; it was the forerunner of the motion picture. He wrote The Horse in Motion (1878) and The Human Figure in Motion (1901). His Animals in Motion (1899, repr. 1957) consists of 11 portfolios: thousands of pictures of men, women, children, amputees, and many domestic and wild animals in action. This work was of considerable importance to artists. He also made outstanding landscape studies in Central America and Yosemite and panoramic views of San Francisco. Muybridge murdered his wife's lover in 1874; the case was dismissed as justifiable homicide.

I used this cute photo of my son to create the drawing above.
I used Photoshop to create this black and white image. This gave me a better sense of the light and dark elements in the photo above.
I printed the black and white image and I used tracing paper to outline it. I then transferred the image to the sketching paper and used black ink to outline and fill the image.

Echocardiogram Visualizes Heart Function
One of the best ways to learn about the heart is to watch it work. But how can you do that, considering that if you open up the thoracic cavity, then slice open the heart, you'd break it?
But biomedical science has shown us another way to see the parts of the heart and how they work. It's called echocardiography.
It's a technique that uses the same technology as the sonograms you've seen of fetuses inside their mother's belly. Basically, it bounces sound waves through the body and makes an image of whatever bounces back (an echo). But echocardiography is adapted specifically to the heart and its function.
Want to see echocardiography in action and better visualize heart function? Try watching this video.

UK Spaceflight Program Partnership with Orbital Micro Systems for Initial Launch Payload
Orbital Micro Systems (OMS) has been selected to provide the pathfinder mission payload for the initial launch of the UK Spaceflight Program.
The announcement was made at the Farnborough International Airshow in England. The UK Spaceflight Program is an innovative initiative to create a world-leading commercial launch market that grows the UK economy through regular, reliable, and responsible access to space.
Orbital Micro Systems, in partnership with Lockheed Martin and other UK-based firms, will create and fly a UK-built pathfinder spacecraft for an initial launch planned for the early 2020s. The mission payload will include OMS's miniaturized microwave radiometer instrument that provides highly accurate temperature, humidity, and precipitation data that will add to the vast array of weather observations taken every day.
OMS has also spearheaded the formation of a consortium of business and academic data science and analytics experts from the UK and the US to create a commercial entity that will deliver highly accurate satellite-based analytics-ready weather data for commercial use. Targeting general availability in the first quarter of 2019, the consortium will offer both raw and pre-processed data to businesses and government agencies worldwide.
William Hosack, CEO of OMS said that this project reinforces Orbital Micro Systems' place in this industry as an innovator of flexible, business-driven space-based observation and data collection, which will lead to more frequent and accurate weather observations that will greatly improve safety, security, and prosperity around the globe. The United Kingdom has a wealth of resources: Well-funded facilities, an educated and inventive workforce, and strong government support that positions the country as a market leader in the growing space economy.


Frenchman Jules Cluzel secured his fourth win of his rookie World Supersport season with a convincing victory at Mangy Cours onboard his PTR Honda. Cluzel rode the drying track superbly to make it the third French winner of the day following Sylvan Barrier's victory in Superstock and Sylvan Guintoli's WSB win.
Second place went to Sam Lowes who fought his way up through the field and at one point looked set to reel in Cluzel for the victory.
Hard charging Brit, Dan Linfoot made the most of the difficult conditions to secure his maiden WSS podium despite being knocked off on the final lap by Kenan Sofuoglu. Linfoot who was lying third at the time was able to pick his bike up and cross the line in fourth, but was promoted to third after Sofuoglu was handed a 25 second penalty for his actions.
Cluzel's victory means that Honda have secured their ninth World Supersport constructers title.


If we win today, we go 3 points clear with a game in hand. But some media outlets, they'd like you to think we are in crisis. Some of our own fans have even entered a stage of panic. So we could do with 3 points today, to calm everyone down! (hopefully anyway).
Here's the first XI I think Klopp will select for today's game against Bournemouth.
Alisson: Still to me looks like he's being effected by the fact he's lost half of his first choice back four and a couple of back ups. His kicking hasn't looked anywhere as assured. Come on, lad!
Alexander-Arnold: People keeping talking about how losing Trent Alexander Arnold has effected our defence, and they'd be right, but I also believe it's effected our attacking, as we've lost balance in the wing areas. It's going to be good to have him back.
Matip: The guy fills me with utter dread when he plays the way he played on Monday night, the amount of times he was caught upfield out of possession was scary. He can also look assured on the ball at times and I hope that's the Matip we see today.
Van Dijk: Has looked a little rattled by the defence around him, and I think it's had an effect on his performances as well, let's hope Liverpool's surly defence returns soon.
Robertson: Another player who had an off day against West Ham. His final ball was wasteful and kept getting caught out of position. Knowing his demeanour, he'll hopefully spring back today.
Fabinho: Seemed quite calm, despite the craziness around him, could've done with him grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck like we know he can. I hope to see Fabinho and Keita blossoming together.
Wijnaldum: Liverpool's most consistent midfielder was missed on Monday, rarely spectacular, even more rarely poor, if he's fit I fully expect him to walk back into our team today.
Keita: Naby is fast becoming the fans scapegoat for any poor team performance he's involved in. Thought he was distinctly below average in the first half on Monday, but improved immensely in the second half. I believe it would be a mistake to take him out of the team today.
Mane: Despite scoring our goal on Monday night, Mane wasn't on the ball on Monday night, looked almost like he was trying too hard on Monday.
Firmino: Firmino was really poor on Monday night, I generally if Bobby's poor then Liverpool are poor. Seems to be having an inconsistent season, which I put down to a World Cup hangover and change of position.
Salah: Salah really struggled on Monday night, running in to dead ends and holding on to the ball for too long. I'm hoping we get to see Salah and Firmino change back to the positions they played in last season.
That's the team I think will take to the pitch today, do you agree with me, tweet me at @ianyoungkop!
