Q: How to check if parameter passed into function is nil in Go? Need to check if parameter being passed to func is nil and return 0.
Below is my intended code
func (t *Transaction) GetOperationCount(input bean.Request) (int, error) {
    var result int = 0
    if input == nil { //error here
        return result, nil
    }
    // Other code here!!!!
    return result, nil
}

bean.Reques is a struct.
However it had issue: "cannot convert nil to type bean.Request input Request". I have trying
if (bean.Request{})== input

But it gives :
"json:\"MV_STATUS\""; NDFNFFP string "json:\"NDF_NFFP\""; NDFNFMV string "json:\"NDF_NFMV\"" } "json:\"attr\"" } "json:\"marke
t_value\"" } "json:\"market_values\"" } "json:\"tick\"" } "json:\"insertion\"" } "json:\"operation\"" } "json:\"transaction\""
} cannot be compared)

Should I change the parameter to "input *bean.Request" ?

A: Short answer: Yes, here is the working version:
func (t *Transaction) GetOperationCount(input *bean.Request) (int, error) {
    var result int = 0
    if input == nil {
        return result, nil
    }
    // Other code here
    return result, nil
}

You have some options (depending to your use case, see: Pointers vs. values in parameters and return values):
1- You may use pointer (input *bean.Request) and compare it with nil
2- you may use another struct and compare it with reflect.DeepEqual(r, zero)
3- You may write your own compare function (or method with pointer or value receiver)
See this sample (try it on The Go Playground):
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

func (t *Transaction) GetOperationCount(input *Request) (int, error) {
    var result int = 0
    if input == nil {
        return result, nil
    }
    // Other code here
    return result, nil
}

func main() {
    var input *Request
    if input == nil {
        fmt.Println("input is nil.") //input is nil.
    }

    input = &Request{}
    if input != nil {
        fmt.Println("input is not nil.") //input is not nil.
    }
    r := Request{}
    fmt.Printf("Zero value: %#v\n", r) //Zero value: main.Request{I:0}

    zero := Request{}
    fmt.Println("r == zero :", r == zero) //r == zero : true

    fmt.Println("DeepEqual :", reflect.DeepEqual(r, zero)) //DeepEqual : true
    fmt.Println("compare   :", compare(&r, &zero))         //compare   : true

}
func compare(r, zero *Request) bool {
    return r.I == zero.I
}

type Request struct {
    I int
}
type Transaction struct{}

output:
input is nil.
input is not nil.
Zero value: main.Request{I:0}
r == zero : true
DeepEqual : true
compare   : true

Comparison operators:
4- You may compare it with its zero value (nil for pointers, and if it is struct it's zero value is Empty struct if it is like struct{} (not nil), or struct with all fields initialized to their zero values):
The zero value:

When storage is allocated for a variable, either through a declaration
  or a call of new, or when a new value is created, either through a
  composite literal or a call of make, and no explicit initialization is
  provided, the variable or value is given a default value. Each element
  of such a variable or value is set to the zero value for its type:
  false for booleans, 0 for integers, 0.0 for floats, "" for strings,
  and nil for pointers, functions, interfaces, slices, channels, and
  maps. This initialization is done recursively, so for instance each
  element of an array of structs will have its fields zeroed if no value
  is specified.
  These two simple declarations are equivalent:
var i int
var i int = 0

After
type T struct { i int; f float64; next *T }
t := new(T)

the following holds:
t.i == 0
t.f == 0.0
t.next == nil

The same would also be true after
var t T

See "reflect.DeepEqual": How to compare struct, slice, map are equal?
func DeepEqual(x, y interface{}) bool

Docs:

 DeepEqual reports whether x and y are ``deeply equal,'' defined as follows.
 Two values of identical type are deeply equal if one of the following cases applies.
 Values of distinct types are never deeply equal.

 Array values are deeply equal when their corresponding elements are deeply equal.

 Struct values are deeply equal if their corresponding fields,
 both exported and unexported, are deeply equal.

 Func values are deeply equal if both are nil; otherwise they are not deeply equal.

 Interface values are deeply equal if they hold deeply equal concrete values.

 Map values are deeply equal if they are the same map object
 or if they have the same length and their corresponding keys
 (matched using Go equality) map to deeply equal values.

 Pointer values are deeply equal if they are equal using Go's == operator
 or if they point to deeply equal values.

 Slice values are deeply equal when all of the following are true:
 they are both nil or both non-nil, they have the same length,
 and either they point to the same initial entry of the same underlying array
 (that is, &x[0] == &y[0]) or their corresponding elements (up to length) are deeply equal.
 Note that a non-nil empty slice and a nil slice (for example, []byte{} and []byte(nil))
 are not deeply equal.

 Other values - numbers, bools, strings, and channels - are deeply equal
 if they are equal using Go's == operator.

 In general DeepEqual is a recursive relaxation of Go's == operator.
 However, this idea is impossible to implement without some inconsistency.
 Specifically, it is possible for a value to be unequal to itself,
 either because it is of func type (uncomparable in general)
 or because it is a floating-point NaN value (not equal to itself in floating-point comparison),
 or because it is an array, struct, or interface containing
 such a value.
 On the other hand, pointer values are always equal to themselves,
 even if they point at or contain such problematic values,
 because they compare equal using Go's == operator, and that
 is a sufficient condition to be deeply equal, regardless of content.
 DeepEqual has been defined so that the same short-cut applies
 to slices and maps: if x and y are the same slice or the same map,
 they are deeply equal regardless of content.

A: Yes..The error itself mentions that it cannot compare both. You can use pointer to compare with nil or create an empty struct to compare.

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Logos is an Italian prog band from Verona that was formed in 1996 by Luca Zerman (keyboards), Alessandro Perbellini (drums) and Fabio Gaspari (bass and guitar) as a cover band of Le Orme. Later guitarists Massimo Maoli and Andrea Dossi joined the band (although Andrea Dossi only for a short period) and they started to work on original compositions. In 1999 they released a first self produced eponymous album that was recorded in two weeks with the help of two friends, Simone Chiampan and Tommaso Carrara, using a 8 tracks analog recorder in a home-made studio. According to the band, all the tracks were recorded "live" and there is very few overdubbing. As a result, the sound quality is very far from perfect but at least you can appreciate the freshness of the compositions and the good song-writing...
The opener "Il grande fiume" (The great river) is a long suite that reminds of Le Orme. It begins calmly with keyboards in the forefront and a "mysterious" atmosphere, then comes in a repetitive bass line and the rhythm goes up and down until vocals soar upon a classical piano pattern depicting a river slowly flowing towards the sea... Lyrics were inspired by Hermann Hesse's novel "Siddharta" that tells about the spiritual journey of the protagonist to reach the "enlightenment". After many troubles, he at last finds his way by listening to the murmurs of a river... There are many changes of tempos and moods, but the music perfectly fits a subject where joy and pain walk along the same spiritual path that leads to awareness... "Time passes by and doesn't forgive / The empty days of a sad age / While the old man is still learning / Why to live, why to fight / If life wins against you...".
"Arc en ciel" (Rainbow) is a short dreamy ballad with a beautiful melody featuring keyboards and strummed acoustic guitar... Imagine to be on the outskirts of a forest with some friends when the dark is falling. Near a bonfire your eyes mirror the nature and you can talk to each other about the future and about the past until the morning comes... Well, more or lees lyrics are about this.
"Sentiero nel prato, porta dell' universo" (Path on the lawn, door of the universe) is a long track that starts with an acoustic guitar arpeggio and then develops with fiery organ rides and delicate piano passages. Lyrics tell about the loss of a child in a poetical way... "It's not a star nor a fire that far light / It becomes just a little point in the universe / Until you can't see it anymore...".
"Un giorno..." (One Day), is another good track about an impending journey towards the unknown while "In una nuova terra?" (In a new land?) is about the come back from a journey in the space. In these tracks you can find slight echoes of Le Orme and Franco Battiato... An alternate version of "Arc en ciel" concludes the album.
The album was self produced with poor means, self distributed and in 1999 it couldn't reach a "large audience". I really hope that in the future the band could re-release it with an improved sound quality. Anyway, for now you can listen to it and legally download it for free from the official myspace page of the band (www.myspace.com/logosmusica). Have a try! I'm sure you won't waste your time.

Ballumbie House ist ein Landhaus am nördlichen Stadtrand von Dundee in der schottischen Grafschaft Angus.

Geschichte
1810 ließ David Miller Ballumbie House anschließend an die Ruine von Ballumbie Castle bauen. Es handelte sich um ein klassisches, zweistöckiges Haus mit Eishaus und Stallungen, in die Reste der alten Burg integriert wurden. Daneben wurde ein Teich mit Flamingos angelegt.

1902 gehörte das Haus Alexander Gilroy, einem Kaufmann, der den Architekten James Findlay beauftragte, Änderungen am Haus durchzuführen. Das Haus wurde im Scottish Baronial Style umgestaltet.

1965 wurde das Haus in ein Hotel umgestaltet, das bis 1981 betrieben wurde. Im Folgejahr wurde es durch einen Brand zerstört und über 20 Jahre lang blieben nur die Grundmauern stehen. Im 21. Jahrhundert wurde es erneut renoviert und in Eigentumswohnungen umgebaut. Historic Scotland hat es als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie B gelistet.

Auf dem Gelände wurden außerdem 230 Eigenheime gebaut.

Chris Mantilla
1995-1998
Basketball has the "Fab Five", football has the "Fearsome Foursome," and Miami Diving has "The Three Amigos"—possibly the greatest recruiting class in collegiate diving history. In 1995, UMSHoF member Coach Randy Ableman assembled 3 remarkable freshman divers, Chris Mantilla and UMSHoF members Bryan Gillooly and Tyce Routson. The trio would go on to dominate the collegiate diving world for the next 4 years, winning 7 national titles and 30 All-American honors. The Three Amigos are reunited again as Chris Mantilla is inducted into the UM Sports Hall of Fame.
Chris came to Miami from Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, where he was a two-time Junior Olympic champion, the 1994 Florida state champion and having placed first at the 1994 World Championship Trials and winning the 1994 Cuban Cup.
As a freshman, he would garner All American honors in the 1-meter and 10-meter platform categories. In 1996, Chris would claim the NCAA title in the 3-meter event, and would finish second in the 1-meter and third in the 10-meter platform as the Hurricanes trio swept the top three spots in the three events. As a junior in 1997, he would be named an All-American for the second consecutive year in all three events. As a senior, he was named an All-American for the 9th time, claiming the honors in the 10-meter platform category. He also was the 1996 Big East champion in the 1-meter and 3-meter events.
Mantilla also showcased his talents on the World stage, as a 10-year member of the United States National team, a 4-time U.S. National Champion, a finalist for the World Championships and Goodwill Games and he was a 1999 World Cup Silver Medalist.
Chris graduated from UM with a Bachelor of Business Administration with majors in both International Finance & Marketing and Computer Information Systems. He and his wife, Sandra, also a double UM graduate, have a son, Owen.

From obscuring worn dentition on natural teeth to renewing the appearance of existing crowns and bridgework, LUMINEERS® can help take years off a patient's smile. A non-invasive procedure and fast placement also makes them ideal for more mature patients.
No matter your age, sometimes it can just take a few years for crowns and bridgework to add many years to your face. LUMINEERS® porcelain veneers can easily be placed on top of crowns and bridgework without removing them. There is absolutely no pain nor drilling of sensitive tooth structure. Don't even think about replacing your less-than-perfect crowns or bridgework - LUMINEERS® them instead!
Your smile may look pretty good, but you want it better - without any pain. A LUMINEERS® dentist will evaluate your smile and desires to help you achieve the look you want with no shots, drilling, or removal of sensitive tooth structure.
This nine-year old girl was self-conscious about the chips on her front teeth and the way it changed the shape of her smile. LUMINEERS® offered a fast, non-invasive solution that enhanced her self-esteem. Chips and cracks can be hidden beneath contact-lens-thin LUMINEERS® by Cerinate.
A variety of shape and spacing issues can also be addressed with LUMINEERS®. Gaps between teeth (diastemas), small tooth size, unevenly shaped teeth, and unevenly aligned teeth are the ideal candidates for instant orthodontics.
Crooked and crowded teeth are common problems. You've probably been thinking for years that the only solution is orthodontics. This is no longer the case. LUMINEERS® can eliminate the need for braces and correct misaligned teeth painlessly by placing ultra-thin LUMINEERS porcelain veneers on top of them, which would permanently and painlessly cover the misaligned teeth.
Some smiles never fully develop into a large, adult smile. Teeth may be large in the front yet small on the sides. In the past, to create an adult smile, patients had to rely on bonding to fill in the gaps or extensive orthodontics. Now with LUMINEERS®, you can get an adult smile in as little as two office visits and without shots or drilling.
If you have a chipped tooth right in front where everyone can see, we bet it bothers you big time. While bonding may offer a temporary fix, it may not be the most reliable way to ensure an attractive smile in the long run. LUMINEERS® offers a painless, permanent, and pleasant way to fix that chipped tooth for good. You will always smile with great confidence.
Stained or discolored teeth can be a major embarrassment because no amount of bleaching, brushing, or visits to the dentist will totally remove the stains and keep them from coming back. Now there's a hassle-free solution to this problem. LUMINEERS® by Cerinate, which are like thin covers for your teeth, eliminate the traces of any stains or discoloration. Best of all, a LUMINEERS® procedure leaves you with permanent bright and white smile.

As the last full trading week of the year winds down, Oracle, Palm and Research in Motion financial results along with market analyst forecasts for 2010 are giving IT investors some data to mull over as they contemplate prospects for next year.
Despite concerns that economic recovery will be tepid, reminiscent of the "jobless recovery" during U.S. President Jimmy Carter's years in office in the 1970s, tech company stocks are generally performing well, outpacing those in other sectors. The week started with the tech-heavy Nasdaq hitting a high for the year, closing Monday at 2212.
There are shadows on the landscape, to be sure. For example, shares on all major indices pulled back Thursday partly as a result of a government report that the number of new jobless claims rose to 480,000 last week, up 7,000 from the previous week.
Nevertheless, the Nasdaq is up by 46.9 percent from a year ago, while the Dow Jones Composite is up by 16.6 percent and the Standard and Poor's 100 is up by 18.6 percent. Nasdaq telecom stocks are up by 44.4 percent while Nasdaq Computer stocks are up by a whopping 64.4 percent.
Part of the reason for confidence in tech is that market analysts are predicting an uptick in global spending on IT next year -- a result of pent-up demand in both the consumer and corporate markets. IDC earlier this month said global IT spending will increase by 3.2 percent in 2010, returning to the 2008 spending level of about $1.5 trillion.
In addition, tech sales this year have not been as bad as some had feared. Stronger-than-expected third quarter sales in Western Europe, among other things, will end up driving worldwide mobile device sales to end users this year to 1.214 billion units, a 0.67 percent decline from 2008, Gartner said this week. In September, though, Gartner had forecast sales to decline 3.7 percent in 2009. Looking ahead, Gartner forecasts 2010 sales to increase 9 percent from 2009. The problem in this market is that even though unit sales may grow, price competition is having a negative effect of revenue.
"Pressure will remain for manufacturers to sustain and grow margins as ASP [average selling price] continues to decline," said Carolina Milanesi, research director at Gartner, in a report. "Software, services and content will be much bigger drivers than hardware, pushing traditional mobile phone vendors to reinvent themselves to remain at the top of their game."
One trend likely to remain in place next year is the move toward consolidation in the IT arena. Though the recession has hit IT sales this year, many vendors still have full coffers from record profits generated in 2007 and 2008 before the full effects of the downturn hit. These vendors are now in the position to take advantage of the still-subdued share prices to make acquisitions and broaden their product portfolios.
This week, On Semiconductor said it will spend $108 million to acquire California Micro Devices, which among other things makes devices that protect chips. IBM said it has signed a deal to buy Lombardi, a, BPM (business process management) vendor, for an undisclosed amount.
Against this backdrop, Oracle Thursday announced a strong second fiscal quarter, with net income up by 12 percent from a year ago, to $1.5 billion. More importantly, revenue was up 4 percent to 5.9 billion. While profit figures can be manipulated by, for example, cutting costs, sales numbers are hard to fake. It won't be until vendors are regularly reporting sales that exceed 2008 levels that IT investors will truly be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"We delivered results which were substantially better than we expected on both the top and bottom line," said Oracle CFO Jeff Epstein in a statement. "Our solid top line growth, coupled with disciplined expense management, was key in generating $8.4 billion of free cash flow over the last twelve months."
Research in Motion also reported upbeat news Thursday, for the three months ended Nov. 28, due mainly to strong sales of the BlackBerry. Revenue for the quarter hit $3.9 billion, up 41 percent from $2.78 billion in the same quarter of last year.
Net income for the quarter was $628.4 million, compared to $396.3 million for the same quarter last year.
In a comment that could cheer the hearts of IT investors looking for smartphone sales to help lead tech out of the recession, company co-CEO Jim Balsillie said in a statement: "RIM is experiencing a great start to the holiday buying season and the strong Q3 results and Q4 outlook clearly reflect the strength of our diversified product portfolio."
Palm did not fare as well, though the mobile device maker did reduce its quarterly loss from one year ago. Palm's loss for the three months ended Nov. 27 was $81.9 million, down from its loss of $506 million a year earlier. Sales of its line of new WebOS phones helped the company weather the storm in the latter half of the year, it said. Nevertheless revenue, at $78.1 million for the quarter, was still below year earlier sales of $191.6 million.
"We're still in the early stages of a long race," said Jon Rubinstein, Palm's chairman and chief executive officer, in a statement.
Early reaction to the earnings news was positive. Though Palm shares slipped by $0.35 in after-hours trading after its earnings announcement, Oracle shares hit $23.85, up $0.96 from its close, while RIM shares climbed $7.62 to $71.06.


Automobile leases are costly, with the common weekly rental rate of a compact automobile booked a week prematurely from an airport location at about $four hundred. Take a minute to browse the location and you will see that it's the greatest place so that you can find the place all of the car shows, cruises and events are taking place in your area! You do not actually cruise around, however upon arrival you park instantly and turn out to be part of the present. Even when you do not have a traditional automobile, come watch because the cruisers show off their experience!
A caravan will begin throughout the road from Nick's Burgers in Fullerton (Brookhurst St. and Orangethorpe Ave), make its manner over to Basic Efficiency Merchandise in Anaheim for a store tour, then cruise again to Nick's Burgers for individuals who wish to eat lunch.

Q: Error in HTML form when using  tag I am making a web form which I have working and am simply trying to style it using CSS before building a site for it. I have found that after adding label tags I am getting errors when I click on another box it jumps to the First Name box, the only way to fill out the form is to use Tab.
my HTML:

<form action="Register Keys site/form.php" method="post">
First Name: <input type="text" name="first_name">

Last Name: <input type="text" name="last_name">

Email: <input type="text" name="email">

Phone Number: <input type="text" name="phonenumber">

Information on Key: <input type="text" name="keyinfo">

Password: <input type="text" name="password">

Password Hint: <input type="text" name="passwordhint">

<textarea rows="5" name="message" cols="30" placeholder="Please add any additional comments here"></textarea>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

CSS:
label
{
    float: left;
    text-align: right;
    margin-right: 15px;
    width: 300px;
}

input
{
    border:0;
    padding:5px;
    font-size:0.7em;
    color:#aaa;
    border:solid 1px #ccc;
    margin:0 0 5px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-border-radius: 4px;
    border-radius: 4px;
    width: 160px ;
}

textarea
{
    border:0;
    padding:5px;
    font-size:0.7em;
    color:#aaa;
    border:solid 1px #ccc;
    margin:0 0 5px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
    -moz-border-radius: 4px;
    border-radius: 4px;
    width: 160px ;
}

input:focus
{
    border:solid 1px #EEA34A;
}

A: The written form is not correct, 'cos the entire form is wrapped in Label
when conventionally set so
<form action="">

 <input type="text">

</form>

Which is possible without the div

A: You have wrapped a form element inside a label element. That's invalid markup and has strange effects. See @verdesrobert's answer for adequate use of label. And you should use label that way, for reasons of functionality.
But what are now trying to do, the styling of a form as a whole, can be done simply by setting CSS properties on the form element. For example:
form
{
    float: left;
    text-align: right;
    margin-right: 15px;
    width: 300px;
}

(To use your styling. I would not recommend setting the width and the indentation in pixels but in em units.)

A: This is how you should use Label tag
<form action="demo_form.asp">
    Male
    <input type="radio" name="sex" id="male" value="male">

    Female
    <input type="radio" name="sex" id="female" value="female">

    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

A:
To resolve this issue you need to modify html part.
You just need to replace tag label to div. Also replace css class name label to div. By doing this you may have this issue resolved.
Regards,
Vishal Bagdai

A: Because of the way label tags work, if the  user clicks on anything inside the label tag, it will refocus, toggling control to the form (thus putting the cursor in the first textbox).
See: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp
Instead of label, you want to use a div, and give it an ID (eg. divID), then change your css to:
#divID
{
    float: left;
    text-align: right;
    margin-right: 15px;
    width: 300px;
}

or give it a class (eg. divClass) and change your css to:
.divClass
{
    float: left;
    text-align: right;
    margin-right: 15px;
    width: 300px;
}


I was nauseous very early on and ended up throwing up 12 times a day over 15 weeks. I had little episodes of "malaise" at my second trimester that consisted of me feeling a fainty feeling and throwing up before I even knew it was coming and some nausea at my third trimester. It's common for morning sickness to come back at the third trimester if the first trimester was quite intense.
What I learned is that it's not always in the morning even though it's called morning sickness and it's usually at the same time during the day but can also change over time on when it'll hit. Some women have just really strong nausea with no vomiting.
The thing is that morning sickness is one the first signs of pregnancy, so while your body doesn't show at all…that's not how it feels inside of you! I really struggled with my daily routine. I sometimes couldn't even respond or talk because I was so nauseous and any vibrations in my body would make me throw up. It was really challenging to go through such radical changes in my daily life for me and especially for Kyle. He saw me look the same but act completely differently in no time. I realized what people with Chronic pain probably go through as far as with the world around them, they often don't look like they're dealing with pain but inside they're actually struggling.
There was a period of time where I didn't even want to talk about being pregnant because I was so miserable. There were moments where I questioned if I could really do this. Now that I look back, I'm thankful…nature prepares you the way it needs to prepare you. These stages were necessary to make me strong.
I stayed away for anything that had a strong smell…and some things that didn't bother you before could a lot of a sudden be a deal breaker. Corn and fish were like a huge no-no and I love fish!!!! I'd literally throw up in an instant from the smell of it.
Also, anyone's scent made me nauseous, it's weird and difficult to approach that sometimes, by the second trimester it gets better. Meanwhile you just have to pray that someone doesn't wear a crazy strong cologne around you.
Pink stork is said to be great to find natural relief.I didn't know about it while pregnant and would definitely use it if I have to. click here.
It's really up to you. I eventually towards the 12th-13th week decided to take zofran. I really wanted to hang tight and stay organic but I literally couldn't do it anymore. 12 times a day throwing up had become a nightmare. Flying was excruciating and my anxiety level of feeling stuck in a plane and possibly not make it on time to the bathroom was like "enough is enough." It reduced my vomiting but didn't stop it. Which was fine. I just needed a little break and that's ok!!!!
You're pregnant, it's part of it. What's not part of it is you comparing yourself. Some pregnant women have no morning sickness and easy pregnancies, some don't. Find someone to relate and don't let anyone make you feel not understood or unsupported. Morning sickness is very hard and is like a silent phase of pregnancy which makes it harder for people to understand what you're going through. You're not alone! people don't post their picture lying by the toilet because you can't move and perhaps they should to shed a little light about the natural difficulties of pregnancy. I spoke about it a lot and eventually had no shame either. It is what it is!
You think it'll never end but one morning it'll be gone and then less throughout the day and then gone altogether. You have to prep your mind that it's not "curable" like food poisoning. I think that's something that tricked my mind the most which is you're not prepared for it to come back every few hours. You have to ride the wave, relax and get a lot of rest. Turn to fellow mothers who's done it before, it helps a lot to communicate! think of whats to come and the rewards…I look at Oliver and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
FUNNY OOPSIES THANKS TO MORNING SICKNESS.
-I opened the fridge which had a open can of corn and threw up right in front of it.

A How to on Prioritizing Competitions for Managers of English Clubs
It's the end of the first week in January and blitzkrieg of Premier League fixtures has finally died down. Players and managers can finally take some time and get players back to fitness. Well, it depends who you ask. The debate of if/how to prioritize the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the League itself is not new and it's not going away anytime soon.
The crux of the debate is squad selection for clubs fighting for the title, still in the Champions League or fighting for a spot in Europe field when they have an EFL or FA cup match in the heart of January. Four teams still remain in the EFL Cup and all 20 Premier League teams now enter the FA cup in the third round after playing a game roughly every four days in December. Add in nearly half the Premier League season and European football resuming in February. The busy season for English Football is clearly upon us.

For Premier League teams still in the League Cup semifinals (Hull, United, Liverpool, Southampton), the decision to "try" is compounded by how close these teams are to silverware. Southampton is a team with little to play for in the league and will likely field a strong side against Liverpool. Hull seems destined for the Championship next year, making winning the League Cup the only real chance at something positive.
Liverpool and United present entirely different debates. Liverpool is chasing Chelsea for the title and United has now re-inserted themselves in the fight for a top four spot. Mourinho has consistently chosen his A team throughout the League Cup and I don't expect him to deviate from that lineup. He will likely choose a younger squad this weekend in the FA cup match against Reading to save his squad for the EFL match Tuesday and EPL match next Sunday against Liverpool.
Klopp has ramped up the strength of his squad in each subsequent round of the League Cup. Liverpool's weekend FA cup match is home to League 2 Plymouth Argyle; the perfect opportunity for Klopp to play zero starters. Given that Wednesday's first match of a two leg semifinal is at Southampton and his squad will have one less day of rest when they meet United next Sunday, Klopp may opt for giving a few young guys a chance to play with senior squad members in the EFL match. Importantly, these two games present a chance for Philippe Coutinho to get back to match fitness.
Unfortunately for League 1 side Peterborough United, Chelsea are not playing in European football and they've already been eliminated from the League Cup. Chelsea play Peterborough Sunday then don't play for another six days. The Blues were unable to capitalize on their extra days of rest at Tottenham and the game at Peterborough should be used to keep the first team in match form.
Arsenal present a very interesting dilemma given that they're the defending FA cup Champions. Like Chelsea, the first team players would have a long break if they were rested for the FA cup match this weekend at Preston North End. Arsenal are one of two English teams still alive in the Champions League, although they were unfortunate enough to draw Bayern Munich. The health of Wenger's players will be key to having any shot at beating the Bavarian Giants. Wenger already has a lot of injuries on his plate and there's no reason to risk starters this weekend against a mid-table Championship side.
Taken out of context, this statement seems odd, but nonetheless Manchester City were unfortunate to draw West Ham in the third round of the FA cup. West Ham is another team with little to play for. A home FA cup match against a City side in a tight top four battle and with UCL round of eight aspirations screams upset. Bilic would be wise to go all in against City and give the new London stadium something to cheer for. Pep should counter Bilic's strong side by continuing to rotate through his back line and giving Iheanacho the start at the striker spot. Having strong players available on the bench is the best course of action.
Finally, we should mention Spurs because they gave us what all football fans wanted – a closer title race. Tottenham quietly has inserted themselves into third place in the league, ahead of Mourinho's United, ahead of Pep's City, and ahead of Wenger's Arsenal. With a shot at the top four, a Europa title, and an FA cup, Tottenham should go for it all. They're squad is deep, they're relatively injury free, and they've proven an ability to adapt to different playing style. Spurs could easily complete a double without winning the league.
Managers are not bad people for ignoring one or more types of competition. Prioritizing is necessary to keeping players healthy and teams in competitions that benefit the club most. The winner of the League cup receives 100 thousand pounds. The winner of the Champions League receives an estimated 100 million pounds. Simply put, choosing to play young players in order to give starters a rest could have a long term impact financially. As fans we have to accept that not all trophies are created equal.

Below I have included some of the more popular materials used in railway modelling. They are all generally available cheaply or even free in many cases. There may be more that I have not listed. If you think something needs adding to this let, let us know with a brief description and it may get included.
These are useful for making a rigid base for your model. The bigger the base, the thicker it needs to be. The base should not warp or bend. MDF can be used to make large models of buildings where you want to show the rooms inside. Chipboard has the coarsest finish. MDF has a very fine finish and needs no sanding.
All of these materials are available from any builders suppliers and most DIY shops. Full sheets measure 2400 x 1200 mm and come in various thicknesses. A builders merchant can usually cut the sheet to your sizes for a small charge, and sell you the exact amount you need for your model. Many DIY shops and a few specialist model railway stores sell small, pre-cut sheets.
Many DIY stores sell lengths of planed timber mouldings. Some of these can be used to add detail or strength to model buildings. Lengths vary, but could be about 2m long.
Balsa wood can be found in many hobby and model railway shops. It is available in thin sheets and in shaped sections from 1 x 1 mm to 50 x 50 mm. It usually comes in 1 metre lengths. Balsa wood is light, easy to cut and sand, and can be used to make very detailed models. Most other modelling materials can be stuck to this type of lightweight wood.
The different sizes of this round wood make it ideal for making columns or pillars. Available in many diameters and lengths it has many uses in railway modelling.
Because they are light and easy to cut, insulation boards are best suited to making scenery details like hills and cuttings. It can be stuck using many adhesives and is easy to cut using a sharp knife or saw.
These are strong poles which can be used as fence posts, or even as scaffolding poles in the larger scales. They are sold in large cheap packs by supermarkets for barbecuing kebabs etc.
These are thin sticks of wood that have many uses for modelling, including making piles of timer at a timber yard, or wagon loads. They are cheap to buy and being wood can be glued using most types of adhesives.
Polystyrene insulation is available in sheets of various thicknesses. It is cheap and light and relatively easy to cut with a blade. However, it tends to crumble on the edge and becomes statically charged and is difficult to clear up. For really clean cuts a heated wire cutter is the best tool to use. Polystyrene sheets are available from many builder merchants and most DIY shops. It can also be found free in packaging.
Cork flooring tiles are available in packs from DIY stores. They are easy to cut with a sharp knife. Some can be found with a self adhesive backing. They are good for modelling landscapes and can be built up in layers to model hilly sites. Many modellers use a layer of cork under the track to help reduce noise.
Mounting board as used by many picture framers is a lightweight board available in large sheets. It is easy to cut and glue. Fixing several layers together will produce a strong model in any scale. It is available in many colours which could be beneficial to some modellers. It can be painted over using most craft and hobby paints.
Foam board has two thin layers of card sandwiching a layer of foam. Although the material it self is light, it does produce a reasonably strong model. It is easy to cut and will take most paints. Care should be taken when using adhesives as some will dissolve the foam core. It is generally found in 3 and 5mm thicknesses, but other sizes can be found.
Corrugated cardboard is a free product that can be found in most cardboard packaging boxes. It can be used in layers to create the scenic landscape. It can also be used to add thickness and depth to model walls. Just remember that it is really only strong in one direction, so ideally two layers should be used glued at 90 degrees to each other. Thicknesses can vary.
Thin card has a multitude of modelling uses, and is one of the cheapest materials. You can get it from the back of pads of paper, inside reinforced envelopes etc. Get into the habit of never throwing away a good piece of card, and you will not need to buy any. Cereal packets and other food packaging can also be a source, but the card tends to be a bit flimsy, and the painted side does not take paint well.
Paper comes in a wide range of colours, sizes, thicknesses and quality. Paper weight in the UK is measured in gsm, and the higher the number the thicker the paper. If you are printing onto the paper the better the quality the better the print will be as ink bleed will be less noticeable. Paper is easy to work with as it can be cut and glued using the most basic of tools. The disadvantage to using paper as a modelling medium, is that it has nearly no strength and is susceptible to damp.
Plastic card is a thin sheet of the same plastic that is used for model kits. It can be glued with polystyrene cement and comes in a variety of thicknesses from little more than heavy paper up to about 4mm. Standard card can be used instead, but plastic card can give a fairly neat finish because it will not delaminate. As this is a plastic material it will not be damaged by damp, but may be affected by heat. Some makes can be harder to cut than others.
Modelling clay generally comes as the air dry type. This means that in time it will dry on its own and does not need to be baked in an over to harden. It is available in either terracotta or white and in several weights. As it is air drying it is best to buy only what you need, as once opened the curing process will begin.
Plasticine is a fantastic modelling material, which shares similar properties to clay. It is available in a variety of colours and for best results it is more malleable when warm. It is commonly used to make temporary models, but can have other uses such as mould making and prototype work.
Plaster of Paris is a dry powder that when mixed with water will produce a fast drying paste that can be used to cover the landform. A small drop of PVA glue added to the mix can prevent cracking. It is also best to add a colour to the mix as the bright white may show through. . Other fillers are available ready mixed and can be used in the same way.
This is a flexible foam material mainly in sheet form, available in a wide variety of colours, densities and thicknesses. It can be firmly bonded together with many adhesives, but can be damaged by some. It is used mainly as a noise suppressant under the tracks in place of cork.
This coarse fibre string can be cut up for making long grass and reeds up to an inch high, or for thatching buildings (although in this use the twisting can create an unwelcome ripple even when unwound.).
Masking tape is a yellowy tape with a relatively weak adhesive. It is usually used for masking off areas when interior decorating. Its most useful modelling function is folding it over wire to make leaves. A strip of it can also be used to cover the unsightly corners of foam board buildings before painting them.
These are very good for replicating long grass and thatched roofs. These broom heads are surprisingly cheap and contain a huge amount of fibre. Make sure you get natural coco fibres and not plastic, which will not glue or paint up so well.
When the outer insulation has been removed from all types of electrical and layout wire, the thinner copper strands can be used to make things like tree armatures, or can be tightly twisted to represent larger sized ropes and hawsers. In most cases the wire will be copper which makes it easy to form to shape and to solder.
This is a thin wire usually sold in long lengths or reels. It is usually covered with a thin green plastic outer. It is easy to bundle together and easy to bend to shape.
One of the most common types of foliage is reindeer lichen. This comes dyed in a variety of colours, several greens, orangey brown and a pale cream colour. It is a soft spongy texture, and can easily be torn into small pieces and glued with PVA. Do not get it wet or it will dry hard and brittle. It is sold in most model shops, although it can be cheaper from florists.
Rubberised horsehair is an excellent material for producing foliage. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get hold of and your best chance is a quality upholsterer, or maybe your grannies old sofas.
Nylon fur can be bought from many good department stores or fabric shops. It is cheap to buy. Cut into small irregular pieces it makes good long grass. It can be painted by watering down acrylic or emulsion, blobbing it on the back of the material and then rubbing it through with your finger. Do not use too much or the paint will stick the fibres together in nasty matted clumps. Using patches of different colours will help get a natural look. The only disadvantage is that the weave of the backing is sometimes visible. At the edges of the material this can be disguised with flock.
The old fibre style carpet underlay is now being replaced by foam products, so be aware of what you are buying. The fibrous material can be stuck down, left to dry, then pulled off the scenery and will look like long unkempt grass once coloured. It is available from some carpet stores or can be got as off cuts from many carpet fitters.
Plumbers hemp is a straw coloured material that can be used for thatching buildings. It can be bought at some builder merchants or DIY stores, but is being replaced by other products. It is available in different weights and is cheap to buy. It can be glues using most adhesives. It can also be cut into short lengths and applied as long clumps of grass. It can be coloured using most types of paints.
This is a fine diagonal aluminium mesh which can be easily cut with ordinary scissors. It is ideal for building the supports of the landscape. It can be stapled into place and covered with papier mache or plaster bandages. It can be bought at some specialist stores and many car DIY shops.
This is a very fine fabric mesh that can be used for textures on scenery. It can also be used within layers of filler to help prevent cracking when covering hills. You will need a really sharp scalpel blade or scissors to cut it without tearing. It can also be used as metal fencing in some scales. It is available from many stores and some come with patterns. You buy it as you want per metre.
The coarser sand can be used to represent gravel on some models. Sand is generally cheap to buy, but you should try to avoid the fine builders sand. Beach sand is good, but should not be removed from the beach. It can be stuck down.

In recent decades, parasitism has remained one of the major problems of dairy industry in Pakistan. In this context, the most common tick species prevailing is Hyalomma, Boophilus, Haemaphysalis, and Rhipicephalus.
High prevalence was found in cow 20.83% as compared to buffaloes. Over all prevalence of ticks was found as 11.3% whereas no ticks were found from LRS (livestock research station), and Malpur showed higher prevalence (8.67%). Breed wise tick prevalence showed that crossbred cattle was heavily infested (39.53%) while pure bred indigenous cattle was mildly infested (3.03%). Three tick genera found were Hyalomma with high prevalence rate 6.63% and Rhipicephalus and Boophilus with low prevalence rate 1.53% while management system of LRS in Islamabad was found satisfactory with no tick prevalence and rural areas of Islamabad was not satisfactory with 23% of tick prevalence ration. It was concluded from the study that ticks were present in the crossbred cattles of pre-urban areas specially Malpur region of Islamabad with low management system, so there is a need of proper monitoring and management in the pre-urban areas.
Key steps should be taken for good managements regarding large animals while special care must be taken for small animals. Proper spray must be carried out for the removal of pathogenic species.
Arthropods and insects probably have evolved about 600 million years ago and 300 million years earlier than the warm-blooded vertebrates. The ticks have worldwide distribution, and their species diversity is greatest in tropical and subtropical regions. Ixodid ticks are obligatory blood-suckers that they need an animal host to survive and reproduce. Ticks can be a nuisance; their bite can cause irritation and even paralysis, in case of some ticks. Severe infestations on animals can cause anemia, weight loss, and even death due to consumption of large quantities of blood. Ticks and tick-borne diseases affect animal and human health worldwide and are the reason of significant economic losses. They are currently considered to be second vectors of human infectious diseases in the world after mosquitoes (McCosker, 1979). In recent decades, parasitism has remained one of the major problems of dairy industry in Pakistan. In this context, the most common tick species prevailing are Hyalomma, Boophilus, Haemaphysalis, and Rhipicephalus (Durrani & Shakoori, 2009). The two types of losses are important, i.e., direct loss due to anemia and skin/hide damage and indirect loss due to transmission of disease as vector. Ticks are transmitting viral, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens causing diseases like hemorrhagic fever, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, theileriosis, and babesiosis in meat and dairy animals (Rajput, Hu, Chen, Arijo, & Xiao, 2006). In Pakistan during this decade, parasitism is burning issue which causes health problems in domestic animal production, based on climate, water availability, land use, and physiographic parts of Pakistan which offer favorable environmental conditions for ticks, which can infest a variety of hosts and transmit diseases to humans, livestock, and companion animals (Durrani & Shakoori, 2009). Estimation of blood loss varies according to the species under consideration. A single adult female tick may remove 0.5–2.0 ml of blood (Pegram & Chizyuka, 1990). The ticks suck host blood throughout their lengthy attachment phase of 7–14 days, which may be extended depending on the tick species and unique host association (El Hakim, Shahein, Aboelella, & Selim, 2007). Optimal temperature and relative humidity required for growth and the reproduction of ticks is 26–37 °C and 85%, respectively (Aktas, Dumanli, & Angin, 2004; Yakhachali & Hosseine, 2006). About 80% of the world cattle population is infested with ticks (Bowman, Dillwith, & Sauer, 1996). Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations estimated the global losses of hard tick infestation to be US $ 7.0 billion annually (Harrow, Gration, & Evans, 1991). Tick infestation diminishes quality of skin/hide up to 20–30% (Gharbi, Sassi, Dorchies, & Darghouth, 2006) and causes severe anemia, loss of production, weakness, and immunosuppression in the infected animals (Gwakisa et al., 2001). Ticks are voracious blood suckers; loss of blood for their rapid development impoverishes the hosts. In heavy infestation, cattle must have more feed merely to meet the demands of the parasites; the growth of young animals is retarded, and they may remain thin, weak, and stunted. In dairy cows, milk production is greatly reduced (Barnett, 1961). Economic losses are mainly due to the diseases which ticks transmit (Garcia, 2003), financial losses associated with nagging irritation, and depreciation of the value of the skin and hide (up to 20–30%) are also significant (Biswas, 2003). Ticks show a variety of host-contact patterns during their lifecycles. In one host tick species (e.g., Boophilus microplus), each developmental stage (larva, numph, and adult) feeds upon the same host individual. In others, two or three individuals are used, with the ticks leaving the host when replete to molt. In three host tick species (e.g., Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum), a different individual is used for each stage in the cycle, i.e., larva, nymph, and adult, and one blood meal is taken on each host (Wakelin, 1984). An integrated control strategy based on the measures of housing in tick proof buildings, slow burning of the wastes near the walls of the animal sheds, separate housing of cattle and buffaloes, quarantine by using acaricides so that they are free from ticks before adding them to the existing herd, pasture spelling and rotational grazing, and manual removal of ticks is recommended for the control of ticks in cattle (Muhammad, Naureen, Saqib, & Faryal, 2008).
Knowing the importance of ticks, this study was conducted with following objectives:
To detect fauna of ticks among cattle and buffaloes of Islamabad.
To find the prevalence among cattle and buffaloes with respect to species, breed, infestation level, and herd size.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in peri-urban dairy farms of Islamabad region in September 2015.
The ticks were collected randomly and snowball sampling in the morning and the evening from 96 cattles and 100 buffaloes in peri-urban dairy farms of Islamabad. The ticks were collected systemically using small forceps as per (Muhammad et al., 2008) starting from the head towards the tail direction and placed in a Petri dish. Care was kept in mind to avoid decapitulation and shedding of the legs.
From Petri dishes, ticks were transferred in plastic bottles. Five to seven holes were made in cap of these plastic bottles for proper aeration, and moisture level was maintained by soaking of cotton swab with water inside the bottle (Hayat & Akhtar, 1999). The tick samples were brought to parasitology section of the National Veterinary Laboratories NVL, Islamabad, in clean, dry, and properly labeled plastic bottles (Fig. 1).
Ticks collected in plastic bottles
Categorization of infestation level
Tick infestation level was categorized as suggested by (Muhammad et al., 2008).
1–25 ticks = low infestation
26–50 ticks = moderate infestation
> 50 ticks = high infestation
Sample processing
Ticks were boiled in 10% KOH solution in test tube over the flame for cleaning of abdomen and ease of examination. The collected ticks were identified on dissection microscope based on morphology with the help of the keys (Foreyt, 2001.; Solusby, 1982; Urquhart et al., 1996).
The data was analyzed using simple descriptive statistics derive from the information about the mean of the infestation level and prevalence percentage of infected animals.
Species wise tick prevalence in cattle and buffaloes
The prevalence of ticks was higher (20.83%) in cattle as compared to buffaloes (3.00%) as shown in Table 1. The results are near to Soomro et al., 2014 while not relevant with Khan et al., 2013. Tick infestation status was found higher in hot arid areas. TIR in these areas was higher due to the favorable climatic conditions (humidity and temperature). In some parts of the world, there is a possibility to relate the disease incidence to climate change and also a positive association of incidence with mild warm, humid summer, and winter (Bennet, Halling, & Berglund, 2006). The difference might be due to different climatic conditions, small sample size, and season.
Table 1 Area wise prevalence rate
Breed wise tick prevalence in cattle
Breed wise tick prevalence showed that crossbred cattle were heavily infested (39.53%) while pure bred indigenous cattle were mildly infested (3.03%) as shown in Table 2. Low infestation in indigenous cattle is due to immunity acquired over the time while crossbred cattle lacks immunity for ticks.
Table 2 Genera wise prevalence rate
Tick prevalence in cattle and buffaloes
Overall prevalence of ticks was found as 11.3% whereas no ticks were found from LRS farm, and Malpur farm showed higher prevalence (8.67%) as shown in Table 3. The results of the present study are not in accordance with the former studies of (Sajid, Iqbal, Khan, & Muhammad, 2008., Atif, Khan, Iqbal, Ali, & Ullah, 2012, Khan et al., 2013., Soomro et al., 2014) which may be due to the difference of sample size and variation in season.
Table 3 Different animals prevalence rate
Tick genera identified on cattle and buffaloes
Three tick genera found were Hyalomma, Rhipicephalus, and Boophilus in the study as shown in the table. The result of present study is relevant with (Sajid et al., 2008; Atif et al., 2012, Khan et al., 2013, Soomro et al., 2014.)
Management system wise prevalence in cattle and buffaloes
Prevalence of ticks was found 23% from rural areas of Islamabad whereas no ticks were found from LRS farm as shown in Table 4. The difference of tick prevalence between two management systems is due to management practices involved in rearing Table 5.
Table 4 Breed wise prevalence rate
Table 5 Location wise prevalence rate
✓Ticks were present in peri-urban locality at 11.73%, while LRS animals were free from ticks.
✓Ticks were more prevalent in cattle as compared to buffaloes.
✓Low infestation level was more prevalent followed by moderate and high infestation.
✓Crossbred animals were more infested with ticks as compared to indigenous and other breeds.
✓Malpur study site animals were heavily infested among all study sites.
Good management practices accounts for tick eradication in large animals.
Regular spray should be carried out on animals and inside crevices of shed.
Owners of small ruminants should take special care of their animals.
Crossbred animals need special attention for tick eradication.

Celtics vs. Warriors score: Stephen Curry erupts for 43 points as Golden State evens series in Game 4
Stephen Curry and the Warriors came away with a 107-97 victory to even the series at 2-2 and keep their championship hopes alive.
Curry had a terrific game for Golden State, scoring 43 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, but he wasn't the only Warriors player to come up when the team needed it most, as Andrew Wiggins had a monster game of his own, scoring 17 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.
On the other hand, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the way for the Celtics, but their efforts were insufficient to equal Curry's incredible performance.
With the Warriors' victory, Game 5 at Chase Center on Monday night could be as exciting as any game we've seen this postseason.
If there's any solace for Green, it'll be the fact that it'll be a long night in Massachusetts. There could yet be a long series where he can change his game. As an added advantage for us,
From a pick akin to a football pick and a near-ejection in Game 2, to a dreadful two-point, four-rebound performance in Game 3 and a hilarious reaction on his podcast, he's had it all.
After an early second foul in Game 4 in Boston on Friday night, Green retook centre stage. Green was mocked by Celtics fans at TD Garden when he stepped over to the bench.
