What's wrong with the code?

A: The block of code that is causing your issue is
for sequence, list in zip(sequence, list):
    ...

You have variables sequence and list defined above inside and outside your while loop. When you reach the for loop, it is redefining the variables to an int rather their previous data structures. You just need to rename your loop variables to something different
for seq, lt in zip(sequence, list):
    ...

Additionally list is a built-in function name. Shadowing it is ill-advised and your variable should be named something different

The Aquatics Hobby Heads in New Direction
Legislative issues continue to hamper the marine hobby, but a resurgence of interest in freshwater and a shift to maintenance services is helping retailers fill the gap.
By Ethan D. Mizer
Published: 2020.01.02 10:00 AM
Patrick Donston, owner of Absolutely Fish in Clifton, N.J.
Auden Heitzler, lead associate and medical specialist for Wet Spot Tropical Fish in Portland, Ore.
James Paulson, CFO and manager of Aquatics Unlimited in Greenfield, Wis.
Kirbay Preuss, manager at Preuss Pets in Lansing, Mich.
Stacy M. Davis, purchasing director for That Fish Place/That Pet Place in Lancaster, Pa.
Pet Product News: What's the current state of the aquarium hobby, and what trends are you seeing?
Patrick Donston: Overall, to me the industry seems to be more unsettled right at this moment. … Coral sales are really where I'm hurting most. And it's been that way for around a year and a half. Everything is up across the board, except for coral. In some quarters, the coral has been down so much that it can take away every other segment's small increase.
I can say from a couple of the shows that I've attended this past year that I'm noticing way more freshwater enthusiasts then marine hobbyists. The freshwater segment of the hobby is continuing to show a healthy growth rate.
Auden Heitzler: I've noticed a lot of people showing interest in nano tanks. Nano popularity has expanded greatly, especially because of the amount of younger people getting into the hobby. Many millennials are living in smaller houses and apartments, and they want a smaller, more manageable aquarium that fits in better and that they're able to move around easily.
Another long-term trend I've observed is the continued growth in popularity of planted aquariums. We've seen an explosion of brands, such as Ultum Nature and Tropica. After Aqua Design Amano (ADA) came on the scene, a lot of brands came out that aren't necessarily mimicking ADA, but they're going for the same sort of "nature aquarium" aesthetic that Takashi Amano pioneered.
James Paulson: Freshwater fish are still the most popular segment of the hobby. That's just due to availability and new species still coming in. Aquariums designed for use with planted setups are very popular. Hobbyists aren't as reliant on DIY anymore, which encourages a lot more success for the customers too.
We consider freshwater the cash cow of the business. All-in-one kits and rimless designs both seem to be big trends right now. Rimless aquariums are the eye-catching option many prefer, in contrast to the classic tank, stand and canopy look.
Kirbay Preuss: Aquatics is definitely in an upswing. Aquatics hobbyists who are maybe not as technically or mechanically inclined are looking to streamline maintenance tasks and products that offer easier system assembly. We've had a lot more requests from customers seeking to diversify the diet of their fish. We're selling a lot of insects specifically for fish, such as soldier fly larva. [Fluval] Bug Bites is a really popular brand of food that is doing well for us.
Stacy Davis: The freshwater segment of the hobby is becoming more popular for us. Manufacturers are coming out with improved models rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. It seems like they are listening to consumers and making the changes that they want.
PPN: How are legislative developments impacting the aquarium hobby?
Donston: I am on the Aquatic Defense Fund of PIJAC [Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council]. We had a conference call recently, and I really can't talk about certain things, but it's pretty scary. The legislative issues are only going to come at us harder. The big deal is always Hawaii, because if Hawaii falls, that leaves the door open for animal activist groups to go into other areas. It gives them a template to how to get it done.
Some people think we're out of the woods. We're not out of the woods, and PIJAC is a huge ally to us. It's imperative for the industry and retailers, especially aquatic retailers, to support PIJAC. Everyone should be members of PIJAC. Dues are cheap. They need our support.
Regarding Indonesian corals, I don't see an end to [the export ban] anytime soon. It's so funny because we have wholesalers in our area telling us it's going to open up soon. I'm listening to the people on the front lines. Nothing's opening up. They're not even sure if it will open up in 2020.
Heitzler: On the freshwater side of the hobby, there are not as many regulatory issues pertaining to endangered species as there are with marine species. There's a lot of focus on ocean life for reasons that make sense but that ultimately feel slightly misguided. I think a lot of it has to do with media coverage of marine life. Movies like "Finding Nemo," and documentaries such as "Blackfish" and "Chasing Coral" create a lot of interest and raise awareness of marine conservation issues.
There really isn't that drive to preserve freshwater ecosystems, which I think is extremely important and neglected as a result. These freshwater ecosystems are much more limited than marine ecosystems, and they are extremely important.
Preuss: We've been impacted by the Indonesian coral export ban, for sure. We expanded our propagation area around the same time that the ban took effect. We just installed a 1,300-gallon system full of frags. I'm also seeing a move toward captive-bred fish, which has become more common over the past few years. We're seeing a rise of captive-bred specimens being available to us.
Davis: Our fish room has been ahead of this for years. We had a room dedicated to frags and are now redesigning our saltwater section to better house the frags that are going up for sale.
PPN: Are consumer attitudes toward aquatic livestock changing? Are conservation and animal welfare increasingly important to hobbyists?
Donston: The zeitgeist has shifted hugely. I'll give a perfect example of that. A couple of younger employees wanted to know why we didn't advocate fishless cycling. Some of my older managers who've been working with me for 20-some years were saying there's no reason for fishless cycling, that it isn't necessary.
The younger members of my staff were concerned about harming fish through [cycling with fish]. It turned into a little bit of an argument, and I said, "I'm not having an argument about whether fish feel pain and fish are being harmed through that process. I'm just saying, that's the consumer mindset now."At one time, fishless cycling was very rare. Nobody really talked about it in the 1980s or 1990s. Today, fishless cycling is a common thing people do. They're willing to wait to add fish to a system. It's a different mindset.
Think about how many fish we kill now. It's way lower than it ever has been. We acclimate fish better now, and shipping practices are much better. Transportation is also better. That's because as an industry as a whole, we are more in tune with the pathogenesis of fish. That's a very positive thing.
Heitzler: There is a lot more interest in animal welfare today. It's definitely generational. I've seen a lot of younger people against cycling with fish because of the potential for loss of life, and also just the stress it creates on the animals themselves. Hobbyists are steering away from that approach for moral reasons.
It also could be because we're learning a lot more about fish and their behavior. I think that the idea that fish are not as smart as other animals, such as dogs, is still around. But with more behavioral researchers realizing fish are actually extremely smart organisms that can feel pain, many people are more considerate about their welfare. Fish were traditionally viewed as disposable pets in a way. That mentality has changed in all areas of the hobby though.
Paulson: I'm 29, so I'm part of the millennial generation. When I first entered college, environmental science was not a major. Well, I graduated with a degree in environmental science. There's a trend toward caring for the environment and the well-being of animals. There's no denying that. Increasingly, customers do not see fish as disposable, for example.
PPN: Where is the greatest opportunity for growth in the aquatics industry, and what are its greatest challenges?
Donston: We may not have the best opportunities, but this is why it's important to flip our perspective and try to see it from another point of view. We always feel our greatest opportunity is to become serviceable. Services are always going to be something people need. We've increased our service and maintenance departments in the last six months.
We found that if we can increase the maintenance department, we can grow our business. Of course, it's really easy to say that we want to do that. I'm trying to actually invest more of my own personal time, heart and soul into finding and training quality technicians. That's part of the problem we've run into. It's a roadblock for me. I can't find enough quality technicians. I'm turning work away because I don't have enough people to take it on.
We'd love to move more into private labeling, because people can't price match it. Selling your own stuff is definitely worthwhile.
The largest challenge for brick-and-mortars is internet sales. That's a fact. I don't know how any brick-and-mortar retailers could say there's anything more challenging than that.
Heitzler: The aquarium industry is growing, and a large part of it is actually being driven by YouTube. Content creators such as Aquarium Co-op and SerpaDesign are really inspiring people, and especially younger kids. I've seen so many kids come in to the store who already know the names of all these rare fish. It's really sparking interest for a lot of younger people, and as these younger people start to grow up, they will come in to start up their own setups.
I'm 22 years old, but I haven't met a lot of people in my age group who are interested in the hobby. The younger kids, though, between 8 and 16, are the ones following the YouTube aquarium channels, and I'm seeing a lot of them starting to get really interested in fish. I think as they start getting older, there's going to be a pretty large boom of younger people interested in the hobby.
Paulson: The trend toward providing livestock sales, maintenance and services is industrywide. You have to be professional and caring. This is something that customers are investing in, and it's going to be a part of their home.
We try to offer everything. We offer vacation services, for example. If a customer has a cat, for example, we'll make sure the cat has food and water while the customer is away. That way, they don't need a separate service to take care of other pets, even though we focus on aquariums.
One of the toughest challenges is to find the right people to perform maintenance services. When you hire a technician, the biggest thing is trust. You have to be able to trust them to go into a customer's home, sometimes by themselves, without any possible chance of delinquent action of any kind. A lot of our candidates are friends of friends or family members of our current staff. We encourage that for our service providers a lot because we already know what type of person this is beyond their resume.
Preuss: We have a lot of aquarium services clients, and that segment of our business seems to be growing a lot. Some customers don't want to take care of their aquariums, so they pay us to do it for them. There's definitely opportunity to expand that part of the business.
Davis: Livestock sales are growing for us, yet supply sales are breaking even. Kits of all sizes are selling well, and are a great opportunity to get new people into the hobby. Customers like seeing the desktop kits set up as wet displays; this shows them what the tanks can look like in their home. I believe doing wet displays is beneficial so that customers can see how the tanks could look. •

Ovarian and endometrial endometrioid carcinomas have distinct CTNNB1 and PTEN mutation profiles.
Ovarian endometrioid carcinomas and endometrial endometrioid carcinomas share many histological and molecular alterations. These similarities are likely due to a common endometrial epithelial precursor cell of origin, with most ovarian endometrioid carcinomas arising from endometriosis. To directly compare the mutation profiles of two morphologically similar tumor types, endometrial endometrioid carcinomas (n=307) and ovarian endometrioid carcinomas (n=33), we performed select exon capture sequencing on a panel of genes: ARID1A, PTEN, PIK3CA, KRAS, CTNNB1, PPP2R1A, TP53. We found that PTEN mutations are more frequent in low-grade endometrial endometrioid carcinomas (67%) compared with low-grade ovarian endometrioid carcinomas (17%) (P<0.0001). By contrast, CTNNB1 mutations are significantly different in low-grade ovarian endometrioid carcinomas (53%) compared with low-grade endometrial endometrioid carcinomas (28%) (P<0.0057). This difference in CTNNB1 mutation frequency may be reflective of the distinct microenvironments; the epithelial cells lining an endometriotic cyst within the ovary are exposed to a highly oxidative environment that promotes tumorigenesis. Understanding the distinct mutation patterns found in the PI3K and Wnt pathways of ovarian and endometrial endometrioid carcinomas may provide future opportunities for stratifying patients for targeted therapeutics.

Freshman K'Lya Hankerson, held scoreless for almost 31 minutes in the Class AAA girls basketball championship game Thursday at the Macon Coliseum, made a key 3-pointer and two free throws in the final 1:19 to lead Johnson-Savannah to a 54-50 victory over Hart County.
The victory gave Johnson its second consecutive state and made the Atom Smashers the first team to repeat in Class AAA since St. Pius in 2013 and 2014. With the game tied 48-48, Hankerson took a pass on the left wing and made her only 3-point attempt of the night, giving the Atom Smashers the lead for the final time, 51-48 with 1:21 remaining. With 19 seconds left, she made two free throws to make it a 53-48 game, giving Johnson all the cushion it needed.
Jasmine Thompson helped the Atom Smashers build a six-point lead in the first quarter, when she scored 11 of her team's 13 points. Thompson went on to finish with 20 points and eight rebounds. Cutter, the Region 3 player of the year, scored 13 points and had five steals. Starks, the Region 8 player of the year and a Western Kentucky signee, came in with a 27.2 scoring average but was held to a little more than half that, finishing with 15 points. She had scored 34 in the Bulldogs' semifinal victory against top-ranked Beach.
"I wasn't gonna let her score 35 on me ... no, no," Lindsey said with a laugh. "I figured if we could cut her scoring in half, I like our chances. She's a tremendous talent, and she's hard to stop. I was being funny when I said that earlier. You can only hope to contain a talented kid like that, because she's going to get her points." Hart County's scoring leader was Taniya Alexander, who was shut out in the first quarter but finished with a game-high 21 points. Alexander was instrumental in helping the Bulldogs stay close, with two stretches in which she scored six consecutive points for her team. She also had 11 rebounds. Hart County (50): A'Cira Teasley 7, Torrion Starks 15, Shakendra Grove 5, Sydney Ertzgerger, Taniya Alexander 21, Tanyiah Merritt, Nakia Hailey, Abbygail McLane, Tanyzia Teasley 2. Johnson (54): Antalazia Baker 4, J'Mya Cutter 13, Jasmine Thompson 20, Zoriah Mobley 4, K'Lya Hankerson 5, Tiana Williams, Checobia Hugie 8, Amani Hamilton.


This exhibition explores the close and often dynamic relationship between visual artists and musicians in Eastern Europe under communist rule. In the 1970s stages became settings throughout the world for elaborate light shows, outlandish props and theatrical costumes. Entire fashions were generated from the 'look' of performers. And, later, in the 1980s, the music video provided a new platform for visual expression. After dismissing Western pop culture as propaganda in the early years of the Cold War, each Eastern European state set about establishing its own jazz, pop and rock scenes with compliant stars, controlled venues and censored music magazines.
But the alliance between art and music went much deeper than these state-managed spectacles. The vibrant cultures that formed at the cross-roads of art and music subscribed – often naively – to the idea that they presented an alternative to mainstream tastes or even social formations. Ostensibly insignificant matters like styles of dress or speech were tangible ways of marking difference in the world. In this sense, rock, and later punk and new wave were as much sensibilities as musical genres and, as such, stimulated much innovative visual art, film and literature as well as idiosyncratic ways of living. Sometimes the alliance between art and music was so close as to draw no distinction between the two zones. Aktualní umĕní, for instance, was founded as an artistic group by Milan Knížák and others in Prague in the mid 1960s, and became, variously, a samizdat (self published magazine), a rock group, a commune and a mode of dressing. Aktual aspired, like the historic avant-garde of the 1920s, to collapse the distinction between art and life.
Two decades later, Ornament & Verbrechen [Ornament and Crime] was formed by brothers Ronald and Robert Lippok in the German Democratic Republic, borrowing their name from a celebrated essay by the Austrian architect Adolf Loos. With a changing line-up of different visual artists, sound artists and musicians and highly eclectic instrumentation, the group was more like a concept than a band. Aktual and Ornament & Verbrechen had their musical equivalents on the other side of the so called Iron Curtain: in one sense this is unsurprising, rock and new wave music travelled so fast and so far that it was the most successful internationalism in the twentieth century. But unlike the artists in the 'underground' scenes of the West that liked to romanticise their outsiderism, the existence of these art-rockers in Eastern Europe was constrained by forms of censorship and command in direct and all-too concrete ways.
The term 'underground' suggests conspiracy and rebellion (particularly in those parts of Eastern Europe like Poland with a long and active tradition of opposition to illegitimate power). But in the late 1960s it came to carry associations with attempts to live differently on both sides of the East/West divide. This took various forms including the spread of communes in which a lifestyle presented itself a critique of technocratic modernity and the bourgeois family; and in the celebration of desires and instincts that had been demonised or even criminalised, not least homosexuality. In Eastern Europe, the desire to live and act outside state regulation was evident in the occupation of marginal spaces in which to produce and disseminate culture that escaped direct censorship and control. Exhibitions and performances in apartments, in the countryside, student clubs, abandoned chapels and active churches expressed a deep desire for autonomy. The first 'rave' club in the Soviet Union took place in the Leningrad Auditorium in the late 1980s when two DJs known as the Novye Kompozitory [New Composers] took over the Science Fiction society there. The desire for autonomy was also found in the production of samizdat books and journals, and magnitizdat tape recordings from the 1960s onwards. In the 1980s new audio-visual technologies crossed the so-called Iron Curtain that allowed enterprising figures to set up cassette labels and to issue 'Pirate Television' programmes on VHS tapes.
'Notes from the Underground' is organized by themes rather than by geography to highlight common sensibilities across the region. Even though direct and personal exchanges between artists and musicians living in both the Eastern Bloc and the former Yugoslavia were rare, the pressures and limitations which were common to all living under communist rule appears to have stimulated a kindred resourcefulness and creativity, as well as a widespread taste for absurdity and irony. A deep attraction to primivitism – in the USSR, Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia around 1980 – might have been stimulated by punk but it carried a special charge when made by citizens of the societies which claimed to be progressive and scientific. Many of the works on display in this exhibition – hand-modified 8mm films and video art made by 'sampling' official broadcasts; sounding sculptures and improvised instruments; self-published fanzines and cassettes – have not been exhibited since they were first made. Falling in the gap between art history and musicology, they have enjoyed little attention from historians and critics. 'Notes from the Underground' provides an opportunity to see them in a fresh light.

Chapel Lane, Forest Row,
nr East Grinstead, East Sussex RH18 5LR
Tim Cowley (Head Professional) and his brother Sam Cowley (Asst Head Professional).
18 holes. Heathland course. Undulating terrain - several slopes to climb.
Woodland.
Original design by brothers and founding members William R. and Francis A. Lee; some input from the two other founding members: Robert Birch and Rev A.T. "Archdeacon" Scott. Later modifications made by Harry Hunter and longstanding Ashdown professional Jack Rowe (1897); final significant changes made by Jack Rowe (1922).
18-hole par-68 West course (5,606 yds from back tees). The West course was laid out as a 9-hole course in 1889, then transformed to 18-holes in 1932 in time to host the English Ladies Championship. Today the West is open to golfers of all handicaps; tee time availability is rarely a problem and 3 and 4-ball play is welcome even at weekends. The West Course is surrounded by quiet woodland and defended by ample heather. An excellent course in its own right, its challenge lies not in length, but in the demand for accuracy and course management.
14 miles W of Crawley
Leave the M23 motorway at exit 10. Follow the A264 direction East Grinstead. After 5.7 mi turn right at T-junction onto the A22. Follow A22 through East Grinstead direction Eastbourne/Forest Row. In Forest Row turn left onto the B2110 direction Tun Wells. After 50 yds turn left at mini-roundabout, still B2110 to Tun Wells. After o.4 miles turn right at chapel into Chapel Lane. After o.4 mls at top of hill turn left into golf and follow signs to clubhouse.

Royal Ashdown Forest
Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club: Exuding plenty of heathland and woodland charm, the delightful Old Course at Royal Ashdown Forest meanders through beautiful rolling Sussex countryside. Along the way there are many fine views to admire, out onto the surrounding wooded hills. With longish carries from the tee boxes, and small heather-clad mounds providing good defences to the greens, the absence of any sand bunkers (due to local conservation laws) will not necessarily mean you are in for an easy time.
Set in the heart of the ancient Ashdown Forest, golfers appreciate that little has changed over the club's long history. Heather, humps, hollows, pools and streams remain nature's defence against shooting a low score. At 249 yards for both men and women, the downhill par-3 11th remains a bit of a monster; it's one of many excellent and challenging holes that make-up a fabulous back-nine.
Alongside the Old Course, and with its own clubhouse, Royal Ashdown Forest is also home to the charming and more tree-lined West Course. Although quite a bit shorter than the Old Course, the West also contains many wonderful golf holes, and is well worth including in your day's outing to Royal Ashdown Forest.
List of courses: England - South East
Map of courses: England - South East
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. The Old Course is traditionally a 2-ball course, i.e. singles and foursomes. 3-ball and 4-ball golf is permitted at certain times.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Visitor fee, 18-holes on the Old Course in high season (April thru' Oct): weekdays £85; weekends £99.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2020].
Players generally walk this course.
Ashdown Forest & Tunbridge Wells Golf Club was formed in 1888, with "Tunbridge Wells" being dropped from the name in 1901. When the great Bobby Locke played here in 1936 he went round in a score of 72, scoring 4 at every one of the 18 holes.
Queen Victoria conferred the Royal prefix on Ashdown Forest GC in 1893, based on the patronage of her cousin the Duke of Cambridge. By royal prerogative, 19 English golf clubs use the "Royal" title, namely: Ascot, Ashdown Forest, Birkdale, Blackheath, Cinque Ports, Cromer, Eastbourne, Epping Forest, Household (Windsor Castle), Liverpool (Hoylake), Lytham & St Annes, Mid-Surrey, North Devon (Westward Ho!), Norwich, St George's, West Norfolk (Brancaster), Wimbledon, Winchester, Worlington & Newmarket.
2019 Golf World rating: 67th best course in Britain & Ireland; 29th best in England.

With COVID-19 surging and a chaotic political situation, we still have reasons to consider ourselves fortunate. We have two safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. While the rollout has been frustratingly slow thus far, these vaccines and others under study hold our best promise of pandemic control. Both products, the...
Restoring Local Journalism in America
National traumas force us out of our comfort zones. They can force us to search, to ask new questions, to think deeper about our world. This week, my first real journalism job came to mind. One day, when I expressed surprise to my editor in Madison, Wisconsin that the tiny Grand Forks Herald in North Dakota had won the Pulitzer...
How Worried Should We Be About Emerging Strains of SARS-CoV-2?
Mara Aspinall
All virus strains mutate continuously. That's normal. There's nothing inherently concerning about that word, "mutation." Unless, of course, the mutations give an evolving virus new properties that make it more transmissible or more pathogenic. That's trouble. The news has been worrisome in recent weeks with reports on the B.1.1.7 strain first detected in the UK, and other new strains of...

We thought we had lived through the most difficult year of our lives in 2020, from the deadly COVID-19 pandemic to the delusional and autocratic ambitions of a sitting President of the United States.

Democracy is fragile.

The struggle to balance those critical pillars has been waged across the...

Science in the Face of Fear: Vaccine Hesitancy and Public Trust
Larry Corey, MD
This month has been a media whipsaw. News of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines' compelling efficacy and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's rapid response and issuance of an Emergency Use Authorization for both vaccines have been met with equal parts jubilation and fear from a divided public. For me, as a medical virologist and researcher, this remarkable achievement...

The concept of 'literature' is crucial and elusive, expanding under the impact of digitalisation and new forms of creative and critical writing.

Exploring the research process as one that involves integrating a range of 'voices', from primary texts, archives, peers, critical and theoretical work, and audience, this course gives you the capacity to engage with this diversity.

Man slammed for fat-shaming girlfriend in restaurant then eating her food
January 7, 2022 January 6, 2022 klaxonsbccom News
A man is being slammed online, after he fat-shamed his girlfriend for ordering pasta in a restaurant, before eating her food and demanding she pay for it. No, seriously.
The man, called Alan, had been out for dinner with his girlfriend and their friends on New Year's Eve, when he made a series of rude and embarrassing comments to his girlfriend, who has been trying to lose weight recently.
"At dinner, Alan ordered a mushroom cauliflower rice with sweet peas and I got something called the 'crispy lemon chicken with creamy Parmesan spaghetti.' It looked so amazing, and I decided to give myself a treat after eating healthy for a while," she explained on Reddit's AITA forum.
"Alan gave me a weird look when I ordered it, and said loudly to all my friends, 'Woah, no more diet?' which was kinda embarrassing."
Around 20 minutes later, the food arrived at the table, and just as the woman went to tuck in to her delicious meal, her boyfriend started eating it right before her eyes. She told him, "hey, that's my food," prompting him to laugh and tell her to eat his instead.
"I argued that I didn't order that, as I sadly hate cauliflower rice with a passion but he said that I didn't need the extra calories. I would've grabbed back my food but I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone, so I angrily relented," she continued.
"Later, when we were footing the bill, Alan asked me for $14 to cover my food, which was the cost of the spaghetti. I said that I wouldn't pay because I didn't get to eat it. He then asked for $10, which was the price of the cauliflower rice, but I still disagreed, because I didn't order it. He got angry and said that I was acting like a golddigger was an a**hole."
That evening, the woman dumped her boyfriend for being so rude to her, but instead of acknowledging her, he simply asked to Venmo the money for the meal.
"My friends think he shouldn't have been rude to me, but that I should've paid for the cauliflower rice since I ate it. It's petty, but he's been b****ing about me to people," she concluded, before asking whether she was wrong to refuse to pay.
"That behaviour is totally unacceptable and if he genuinely can't see why not, you need to drop him. He shamed you about your food choices then took your food without your permission, then had a tantrum when you stood up to him? This guy is a clown and you deserve better," one Reddit user commented.
Another added: "Love, you just dropped 150lbs over night. Screw that jerk. Be happy and give the middle finger to anyone who does stuff like that."

The mad rush of kids descending on a green lawn full of colorful, candy-filled eggs can be overwhelming for anyone, and especially so for those with disabilities. Thankfully, this clever Easter egg hunt hack makes the experience accessible for everyone.
Facebook page Noah's Miracle shared an easy egg hunt hack a few years ago that has resurfaced again just in time for the Easter Bunny's annual visit. The post, which has garnered thousands of likes, shares and comments, shows a simple setup of balloons tied around the plastic eggs.
As the post explains, this is the perfect way to make those egg hunts that usually require bending or squatting to grab eggs more accessible to anyone with special needs. All you need is a few helium-filled balloons and everyone can get in on the egg-citement!

New U.N. report uncovers pesticides NOT expected to bolster the world
Pesticides and herbicides have penetrated the world's sustenance supply at a disturbing rate. Every year, more than one billion tons of pesticides are utilized as a part of the United States alone. Around the world, that number reaches more than 5 billion tons every year.
Furthermore, from multiple points of view, pesticides are more destructive to the sustenance supply and the earth than the vermin they are intended to slaughter. Look no more distant than the declining honey bee populaces on the off chance that you need confirmation of that; honey bees are basic for fertilization for some sorts of products and plants, yet the propensity for pesticides is executing them off in large numbers.
A standout amongst the most well-known myths sustained by the agrochemical business is that these hurtful chemicals are basic for bolstering the total populace — however are these benevolent cases established in all actuality, or are these affirmations of a more evil, benefit driven assortment? Another report from the United Nations recommends that the need of pesticides for stopping world yearning is, best case scenario, nonexistent.
Hilal Elver, the U.N's. exceptional rapporteur on the privilege to nourishment strikingly announced, "It is a myth. Utilizing more pesticides has nothing to do with disposing of craving. As per the U.N. Nourishment and Agriculture Organization (FAO), we can sustain 9 billion individuals today. Generation is certainly expanding, however the issue is neediness, imbalance, and circulation."
Nourishment and contamination specialists of the U.N. have become extremely reproachful of the gigantic partnerships that deliver pesticides and herbicides and are additionally effectively trying to change the scene of horticulture to support them, by making a reliance on their items. (RELATED: Follow more news on pesticides at Pesticides.news)
The report from the U.N. indeed, even sets out to blame these worldwide aggregates for "efficient disavowal of damages," "untrustworthy advertising strategies" and broad campaigning of various governments that has "blocked changes and incapacitated worldwide pesticide confinements."
As indicated by the U.N's. point of interest report, no less than 200,000 passings for each year are identified with pesticides — and that number is only for people. The impacts of pesticides on human wellbeing, condition, and society all in all are portrayed as "cataclysmic," and the report's creators declare, "The time has come to make a worldwide procedure to move toward more secure and more advantageous nourishment and farming generation."
As the world's human populace is relied upon to ascend to 9 billion by the year 2050, the pesticide business keeps on argueing that their items are by one means or another fundamental to guaranteeing there will be sufficient sustenance. Be that as it may, as Elver brings up, the mind dominant part of the $50 billion-a-year industry's items are utilized on ware yields, for example, those for palm oil — and not crops that really nourish individuals.
"The partnerships are not managing world craving, they are managing more farming movement on vast scales," Elver clarified.
The report's co-creator, Baskut Tuncak — the U.N's. extraordinary rapporteur on poisons — takes note of that logical research has affirmed the antagonistic impacts of pesticides, despite the fact that demonstrating an authoritative connection between the chemicals and human illness or mischief to biological systems has been testing. Tuncak says this test is exacerbated by "orderly disavowal," which is proclaimed by the horticulture and pesticide enterprises. The master says that the agrochemical business not just plays down the harm allotted by their items, yet takes part in "forceful, exploitative promoting rehearses." Surely, nobody is amazed by this assertion.
Elver has additionally recognized that these organizations frequently apply control over governments, and in addition established researchers. The EPA, for instance, has conceded that pesticides are executing honey bees, yet at the same time declines to confine their utilization. She remarked, "In the event that you need to manage pesticides, you need to manage the organizations – that is the reason [we use] these brutal words. They will state, obviously, it is not valid, but rather likewise out there is the declaration of the general population."
Elver and Tuncak's report takes note of that pesticide utilize has been connected to various maladies and conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's sickness, disease, hormone disturbance, sterility, and formative issue. Their report suggests that there be a move towards a worldwide settlement on pesticide utilize, and that a switch towards more characteristic cultivating techniques — including crop revolution and utilization of regular vermin suppressants — happen. The group likewise recommended that development of naturally created sustenance ought to be boosted.
In general, this new report is not prone to make enormous waves, but rather will ideally move more individuals to scrutinize the need and wellbeing of pesticides — and maybe a turn towards more supportable cultivating.

As our youth program starts to reap rewards with boys that are graduating from P18 this year.
The latest Sweden U18 tour winning both games - Czech Republic October 12 and Hungarian October 14 was a great success for the Junior Vikings Swedish rugby academy as well as Spartacus. We had no less than four players in the touring squad.
Aron QvarnströmAron Qvarnström captained and played every minute of both games leading by example from the front tirelessly. The only player to play both full games.
Axel QvarnströmAxel Qvarnström played as center in the first match, but took on the new roll he has started to develop as fly-half in the 2nd game where his game knowledge and recent development in the position paid of well setting up numerous attacks and scoring two try's against Hungary.
Erik SandelinErik Sandelin, played prop as well as second row with grunt, dedication and brought his infectious smile and laugh. With determination, grit and focus we can see him taking a role in the senior XV forwards in 2019.
Alex HäljestigAlex Häljestig showed boundless energy and created line breaks and provided skilled off loads that led to scores and will only improve with another year in the JV program.
Spartacus are tremendously grateful towards the junior Viking Program that makes it possible for our U18 boys to develop their rugby here in Sweden in there age group. The program has given our boy's an extra edge and depth in there rugby, in training and competing with so many fine young rugby players that Sweden is currently developing. Giving them lifelong friendship & rugby experiences both on and off pitch.
For three of above mentioned players this was their graduation from p18, meanwhile Alex Häljestig will do his "senior" year in the squad together with new and upcoming Spartacus boys.
We also have very talented female players, and one of them have subscribed to a position in Swedens Girls 7s U18 team lately. Lucy Heckeman joined the team that went to Holland in the beginning of october. And even though Sweden lost 4 out of 4 games, they had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Personally, Lucy got a lot of playing time and managed to convert two tries.


FATḤ JANG, EBRĀHĪM KHAN (or Mīrzā Ebrāhīm), a Mughal official (d. 1033/1623-24). According to the Maʾāṯer al-omarā ([Calcutta] I, p. 135), he was the son of Eʿtemād-al-Dawla Ḡīāṯ-al-Dīn Beg Tehrānī (q.v.) and brother of Nūr(-e) Jahān, the influential wife of the Mughal emperor Jahāngīr (r. 1014-37/1605-27). Together with other members of Eʿtemād-al-Dawla's family, he entered Jahangīr's service and was first made a paymaster (baḵšī) and inspector (wāqeʿanevīs) of Gujarat, responsible for reporting on the events of the region to the emperor. He gained the trust of the governor of Gujarat, Shaikh Farīd Mortażā Khan, and within a year was given the rank (manṣab) of 1000 men. After Jahāngīr married Nūr Jahān in 1020/1611 and E ʿtemād-al-Dawla gained favor at court, Ebrāhīm returned to Agra. He was awarded the title of khan in 1023/1614-15 and promoted to the rank of [commander of] 1500 men and 300 horses (Kāmkār Ḥosaynī, p. 182; Maʾāṯer al-omarā [Calcutta] I, p. 136).
Ebrāhīm Khan first served at court as a private secretary to the emperor (baḵšīgarī-e ḥożūr), but by the end of 1024/1616 he was made governor of Bihar and sent there to take over the region of Khūkharha (Jahāngīr Gūrḵānī, pp. 178-79) or Kūkara (Kāmkār Ḥosaynī, p. 216) near Patna, an area well known for its diamond mines but hidden deep within dense and inaccessible forests and controlled by a local Hindu landlord. Ebrāhīm's campaign was successful, and earned him the title of Fatḥ Jang and the rank of four thousand men and horse, which was later raised to five thousand. Most of the diamonds for the Mughal treasury came from these mines.
Within two years Fatḥ Jang was able to restore order to affairs in Bihar. In 1026/1617 he was made governor of Bengal and Orissa. He held this post until 1033/1623-24, when he was killed in battle defending the fort of Akbarnagar (old Rājnagar, modern Dacca) against the army of Shah Jahān, who had rebelled against his father. Fatḥ Jang did not leave any children; his only known son died during his lifetime and was buried near Akbarnagar in a large fortified shrine—the same one which Fatḥ Jang chose for the defense of Akbarnagar and where he lost his own life (Kāmkār Ḥosaynī, pp. 381-83; Maʾāṯer al-omarā [Calcutta] I, p. 138). His wife was Ḥājī Ḥūrparvar, an aunt of Nūr Jahān. Ḥūrparvar lived into comfortable old age at Šāh-Jahānābād (now Old Delhi) on a royal allowance (tamḡā) until her death during the reign of Awrangzīb (1068-1118 /1658-1707; see Maʾāṯer al-omarā [Calcutta] I, p. 138).

Rock music has been around since the inception of electric guitars into the music work, allowing for a greater range and type of sound. But electric guitars were just the beginning. Coupled with war and tragedy, rock music was the people's response to feeling helpless.
For some people, it's easy to brush off rock music as just noise, but the way that the rock and roll genre changed the face of music is still present and tangible today. Of course, some were better than others. And some were the absolute best of their times, and the best that the genre has ever had to offer.
From various bands and artists, here are the best rock albums to ever have been produced, taking in consideration of their impact, legacy and – of course – sales.
Revolver came out in 1966, and while it's almost impossible to pick the very best of the Beatles' albums, this is the one that really deserves the spotlight.
Revolver is packed full of all the classic songs that people go to when they think of the Beatles, showing the longevity of the album itself.
Not only that, but the quality of the album itself all comes together through the sound, the lyrics and the performance. It's truly the best of the Beatles.

In 1932,the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford purchased 60 acres (240,000 m2) of land on Wampanoag Drive, West Hartford with an eye to future development. Two years later, the Most Reverend Henry J. O'Brien, D.D., Archbishop of Hartford, announced that a high school would be built on this tract of land to serve the students in the surrounding parishes.
The first principal was the Reverend Bradford Colton (1961–1968) who guided the school during its founding years. He was succeeded as head of school by Reverend William F. O'Keefe in 1968; Sister Doris Regan, O.P., in 1977; Reverend Henry C. Frascadore in 1985; Dr. Michael S. Griffin in 1996; and Mr. Matthew O'N. Fitzsimons in 2006.
The official dedication of the school was held September 24, 1961 with the Auxiliary Bishop of Hartford, the Most Reverend John F. Hackett, D.D. officiating. In June 1965, the first class was graduated.
In December 1971, the Commission on Independent Secondary Schools granted Northwest Catholic institutional membership in the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools for a period of ten years. This accreditation has since been renewed in 1981, 1991 and 2001[citation needed].
In 1989, Northwest Catholic High School was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an Exemplary School[citation needed]. "In lumine tuo videbimus lumen."
Translated, this is "In Your light we shall see light."
This motto is a reminder that the years spent at Northwest Catholic are years of serious study. The purpose of study is the attainment of TRUTH-in science, in the classics, in social relationships, in the arts, in every field of human knowledge. The light of God's help directs our study so that we recognize truth as it really is in His light - untarnished by political, social or economic bias - that we find true WISDOM in eternal TRUTH as revealed to us by eternal LIGHT.[2]
Northwest Catholic high school provides a strong foundation and extensive alumni base for students seeking to enter professional occupations. The majority of students enter college immediately upon graduation.[citation needed] Northwest Catholic is nestled in the hills of suburban Connecticut in West Hartford. It was established in 1961 to provide quality secondary education and prepare young men and women to be leaders.
Highlights include: A National School of Excellence 100 percent college placement rate[citation needed] Students from 30 different towns Coeducational Honors and Advanced Placement courses More than 18,000 alumni Northwest Catholic is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and approved by the State of Connecticut.[citation needed] The student population is about 650 in grades 9-12.

I changed the font size inadvertently to 500% and now on starting up (XP SP3) I get a very magnified screen and I can only see such a small part of it that I can't log in. I think I need to be able to change the font size before logging in. Is there a way of doing this please? Or, for example, are there any short-cut keys for getting to the logging in line so that I can log in?
I've tried safe mode and 'last known working settings' in vain.
font size in xp has nothing to do with the bios settings which have no control over font size.
You should have been able to come up regularly in safe mode which puts you at the generic settings for video.
Did you by chance mess with the monitor settings?
How was it you were able to answer yes to the video change as OK when you changed it in video properties?

Q: How to show $\sum_i(\bar{y}-\hat{y_i})e_i=0$ How to show $\sum_i(\bar{y}-\hat{y_i})e_i=0$, I have no trouble to see $$\sum_i(\bar{y}-\hat{y_i})=0,$$ I got stuck at $e_i$ is a random variable, not a constant.
Appreciate any comment

A: Let $\mathbf{y} = (y_1, \cdots, y_n)$ and similarly defined for $\widehat{\mathbf{y}}$. By definition of regression, we have that $\widehat{\mathbf{y}} = \mathbf{H} \mathbf{y}$, where $\mathbf{H} = \mathbf{X}(\mathbf{X}^\intercal \mathbf{X})^{-1}\mathbf{X}^\intercal$. Notice that $\mathbf{H} = \mathbf{H}^\intercal$ and $\mathbf{H}^2 = \mathbf{H}$.
\begin{align*}
\sum_i(\overline{y} - \widehat{y}_i)e_i &= (\overline{y}\mathbf{1} - \mathbf{H}\mathbf{y})^\intercal \mathbf{e} \\
&=\left(\frac{1}{n}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{1}^\intercal \mathbf{y} - \mathbf{H}\mathbf{y}\right)^\intercal \left(\mathbf{y} - \mathbf{H}\mathbf{y}\right) \\
&=\mathbf{y}^\intercal\left(\frac{1}{n}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{1}^\intercal - \mathbf{H}\right)\left(\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{H}\right)\mathbf{y} \\
&=\mathbf{y}^\intercal\left(\frac{1}{n}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{1}^\intercal\right)\left(\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{H}\right)\mathbf{y}  - \mathbf{y}\mathbf{H}\left(\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{H}\right)\mathbf{y} \\
&= \mathbf{y}^\intercal\left(\frac{1}{n}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{1}^\intercal\right)\left(\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{H}\right)\mathbf{y}  - \mathbf{y}\left(\mathbf{H} - \mathbf{H}^2\right)\mathbf{y}  \\
&= \mathbf{y}^\intercal\left(\frac{1}{n}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{1}^\intercal\right)\left(\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{H}\right)\mathbf{y} \\
&= \overline{y} \sum_i(y_i - \widehat{y}_i) \\
&= 0
\end{align*}

A: Basically, there are two parts in this equation, since $\sum (\bar{y} - \hat y_i )e_i = \bar y \sum  e_i - \sum \hat y_i e_i = 0$, thus we need to show that $\sum e_i = 0$ and $\sum \hat y_i e_i = 0$, which follows straight from the first order condition of the OLS. Namely,  $\sum e_i = 0$ stems from the derivative of $\sum (y_i - \sum_k \beta_0 - \beta_j x_j)^2$ w.r.t. $\beta_0$, and  $\sum \hat y_i e_i = 0$ from the orthogonality of $\hat y$ and $e$. You can show it, WLOG, by using the $j$th derivative of  $\sum (y_i - \sum_k \beta_0 - \beta_j x_j)^2$ to show that the error term $e$ is orthogonal to each one of the $x$, and therefore to $\hat y$, since $\hat y$ is a linear combination of the $x$s.

Alleged Park Sloper Groper Found Not Guilty
Jen Chung
Modified Feb 2, 2016
The man arrested for allegedly groping three girls in Park Slope was acquitted last week.
In 2013, police were anxiously searching for a man who had not only groped young girls—grabbing the buttocks of an 11-year-old on 4th Street near 6th Avenue; brushing up against a 10-year-old girl on Fifth Avenue and then rubbing himself on her and grabbing her buttocks, as well as the buttocks of an 11-year-old—but also assaulted an undercover police officer who was questioning him on the street. Jesse Dailey, 34, was caught after some Good Samaritans stopped him after the incident with the police officer (they let him go, but one took a photograph of his ID).
However, when the case finally went to trial recently, Dailey was found not guilty after, the Brooklyn Paper reports, "police bungled the investigation and the evidence against him did not add up to a conviction, according to one juror."
For instance, a police officer apparently showed a photograph of Dailey to a victim before the victim saw Dailey and others in a police line-up. The cop then lied during his testimony, claiming he never showed the picture. The Brooklyn Paper also noted that the only victim who saw the groper's face "did not identify Dailey when asked if her attacker was in the court room."
Juror Alley Olivier—who writes for the Brooklyn Paper—told the publication, "It was a hard decision" to acquit Dailey of the groping charges as well as the assault on the police officer. "We really wanted to see justice done for these girls." She explained, "We didn't have enough evidence to prove it was Jesse Dailey."

Andy Atkinson - a big man with a big responsibility...
in Cricket
This article appeared in Pitchcare Magazine Issue 34
0 Andy Atkinson - a big man with a big responsibility...
ICC chief pitch inspector, Andy Atkinson, has a greater knowledge of cricket pitches around the world than anybody else on the planet. When you have to deal with monsoons and baking heat in the sub-continent, as well as freezing temperatures in Scotland, you learn to be adaptable.
Essex-born Andy has worked for the ICC since 1998. He liaises with the curators and groundsmen in the countries where the ICC are staging their tournaments, which include the World Cup, World Twenty20 and Champions Trophy.
"I work in collaboration with the local groundstaff at all venues. I advise them and help them plan their work. I am not there to step on people's toes but, if requested, I am happy to don shorts and get out on the field," Andy said. "In some cases the local curator runs the show. Others are happy for me to assume control for the duration."
Each event demands intensive planning. Andy inspects the tournament venues and training facilities two years in advance of tournaments. He assesses the suitability of pitches and practice facilities and informs local groundstaff about the ICC's requirements
It is not simply a case of finding grounds for games. For the World Cup 2007 in the Caribbean, for example, the ICC needed eight main tournament venues, but they also wanted another twenty-six venues to allow each country to hold team practice sessions.
"The Caribbean venues needed to be acceptable to international teams, but most were club grounds which had to be renovated. In the interim, detailed planning and renovation programmes were discussed with the local organising committees to ensure work was completed on time and the facilities were tested months prior to the tournament," Andy said.
Andy's Caribbean experience went smoothly. But, there have been occasions when extreme conditions have made his job a race against time. One of his greatest challenges came when he was asked to prepare grounds for the ICC Knock-Out (now known as the ICC Champions Trophy) on a limited budget, in Nairobi, Kenya. It was his first job for the ICC back in 1998-2000, and it turned out to be a baptism of fire.
The event was for all Test-playing nations, plus Kenya, and the schedule was for ten one-day internationals in fifteen days, on five pitches at the Nairobi Gymkhana ground. There were another five practice grounds to prepare. The condition of the grounds was poor.
"Our first visit, in July 1998, coincided with the rainy season. The grass on the outfield was twelve inches high at most sites, and all the grounds were flooded. They asked me if I could get the fields ready by September 2000. I said 'yes', but I must admit that I had my fingers crossed," Andy said.
Andy spent from July 1999 until September 2000 working at the Nairobi Gymkhana ground on a part-time basis, with about twenty groundstaff. They applied 400 tonnes of sand to the outfield, by hand, for levelling and smoothing the surface.
"The pitch block was in need of severe renovation, such as scarification, aeration, levelling and replanting, which all had to be done by hand, as most of the equipment, apart from mowing and scarification machinery, was not available in Kenya. All 15 tonnes of clay for the pitches had to be broken down and crushed into usable sizes by hand prior to dressing and levelling," Andy said.
"It was not feasible to reconstruct the pitch block in the time available, and be certain it would be one hundred percent satisfactory for the tournament."
"In the end, all went well with good reviews at the completion, and this was achieved during eight months of drought in Nairobi. I'm as proud of what we did there as of anything I've done for the ICC."
Andy is currently preparing pitches for the ICC World Cup, which is in Asia from February to early April 2011. The planning is particularly complex because the tournament is spread over three Test-playing nations, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Andy has already made five extensive trips to each country to supervise work, and there will be many more visits. There are thirteen grounds being used for the matches, and dozens more for practice. The grounds are hundreds of miles apart, which means catching a lot of aeroplanes, as well as grappling with different conditions.
"In a vast country like India the climate is different from one place to another. In Mumbai, it is relatively simple; it rains from June until the end of August, and it is always hot and humid, at around 25°-30°c. Once the monsoon stops it becomes very hot, about 30°-40°c, or more, and normally it's very dry for the next period of time until the following monsoon starts in June. Grass growth is very good all year round, and the major issues are irrigation and protecting the pitches from the sun," Andy said.
Northern venues, like Delhi, Ahmedabad and Mohali, are quite different. "They are extremely hot from March to June, normally around 40°c plus, though I experienced a temperature of 54°C in Mohali in June last year. But, because they are near to the Himalayas, they actually have a winter with frosts and fog. The temperatures are also quite low from November until the end of February. It can be 10°c in the day time and below freezing at night."
"Because the natural grasses used for cricket pitches in India are of the Cynodon varieties, that can cope with the summer heat, the cold temperatures send them into dormancy for that period - there is absolutely no re-growth. Cricket is played in India between October and April to avoid the worst of the heat and to make the most of the dry season," he said.
Venues in Bangalore and Chennai have a different monsoon period to the rest of India. They are more like the Sri Lankan grounds. Meanwhile, Kolkata has the same seasons as Bangladesh.
"All these factors have to be considered when planning work schedules. This is also a factor in other large countries, such as Australia, where the weather differs from Perth to Brisbane and Sydney, and also South Africa with the variations between the Cape, the High Veldt and the other costal venues," Andy said.
Andy's knowledge of different pitches and climates is almost unparalleled. He seems as though he was born to do this job. So, it is a surprise to learn that he fell into the profession almost by accident.
"I come from a farming background in Essex and the club I played for, Rankins CC, had its own ground which the players had to look after in conjunction with the ground's owner, Donald Rankin. As I could drive a tractor, I helped out by initially cutting the outfield. After a while, I became more interested in the preparation of the pitches and progressed from there," he said.
He left school and started training to be a chef at technical college, until he realised how much the evening and weekend work would interfere with playing cricket, soccer and rugby.
"When the course was completed, I decided that I did not want to take up catering as a profession - I wasn't very good anyway! I managed to get a job with the local council in the parks department, preparing all sorts of sports surfaces over a five-year period, which gave me a good grounding," he said.
His rise to prominence thereafter was dramatic. He worked at Lord's, Lansdowne Road and The Oval, before enjoying a ten year stretch as Essex head groundsman at Chelmsford. After that, he was Warwickshire head groundsman, at Edgbaston, for three years.
While at Edgbaston, Atkinson and his fellow Test groundsmen were called to a secret meeting with the ECB and told by Donald Carr, then the pitches overseer, that the England strategists required dry, turning pitches with not too much grass for the 1993 Ashes series.
Andy was uncomfortable about the idea of not producing the best pitch he could, and recalls the shrewd Ron Alsopp, then head groundsman at Trent Bridge, saying out of the corner of his mouth: "Haven't they heard of Shane Warne?"
ot long afterwards, everyone had heard of Warne, he produced his 'Ball of The Century' to bowl an aghast Mike Gatting in the first Test of a terrible summer for English cricket. Warne went on to take thirty-four wickets in the series, on pitches supposed to help English spinners!
Andy left Edgbaston that year, and furthered his education by moving to sunnier climes as head groundsman at the Newlands ground in South Africa. Following that, he stayed in South Africa as turf manager for three years at the Wanderers Stadium. Finally, he became freelance and worked at Centurion Park, Pretoria, as a private contractor for three years.
His work at Test grounds in South Africa, and in Africa's hot conditions, was a good grounding for his next job with the ICC, from 1998.
Despite having to travel all over the world for the ICC, which takes him away from his family, he has never lost his passion for the job.
"It is a good feeling to produce a good pitch and to be complimented on it, but the art of preparing pitches is not an exact science, due to the need to produce different types of pitches for varying types of matches in completely diverse climates. To prepare a good pitch, many aspects of turf management need to be brought together. Of these, experience, hard work, commonsense, perseverance, luck and good weather are the most important. Without luck and good weather it's a hard job to make a good pitch," he said.
He's seen the role become more prominent over the years, but doesn't believe groundsmen get the respect they deserve.
"The profile of a head groundsman is higher than ever because of TV coverage. But the criticism from both commentators and players, which is often aimed at the pitch and, therefore, indirectly aimed at the groundsman for five long days, is constant," Andy said.
The groundsman's importance is underrated, he believes. "The quality of the pitch is fundamental to the game. At the highest level, a lot is expected of the groundsman. The years of experience, and weeks of hard work and long hours ahead of a big match, are often taken for granted by employers, players, sponsors and spectators alike. That is, until there is a problem, then they remember your name!"
Andy says it is becoming harder to attract younger people within turf management towards cricket. "The terms and conditions are not attractive in many cases, and a lot of people do it for the love of the game. Even for a top groundsman, the financial rewards and levels of respect are much less than those of a top greenkeeper for a similar event with wall-to-wall TV coverage," he said.
One complaint he hears often from the media, is how batsmen dominate too easily in Tests on flat, modern pitches. As I write, England have backed up the point by declaring on 517-1 in the 1st Test of the Ashes! But, most of the time it's the sub-continent's pitches which are in the firing line.
"Change is happening to Indian pitches," said Andy. "The main aim is to produce pitches with more pace and bounce, and a better balance between bat and ball for Test matches. The Indian authorities are promoting that and having good results at venues such as Bangalore and Mohali."
"It is not the wish of the ICC to see pitches around the world become standardised. Each country should produce pitches that are natural to their conditions, so I would expect the ball to spin more in drier climes and seam more in damper conditions. There is nothing wrong with that."
There are, however, certain principles which apply to pitches the world over.
"Test matches require a surface that allows all the skills to be practised over the duration. Initially, you want some grass and moisture to allow early seam movement. Then, as the surface and grass dry out at the halfway stage, the roughened grass acts as an abrasive to allow the ball to grip."
"As the pitch dries out, batting becomes easier and the batsmen can dominate, but then, as the surface starts to deteriorate, which is quite acceptable from day three on, one expects assistance for spin bowlers. This, in my view, is what we should be aiming for in a Test pitch."

Huset Nemanjić var en serbisk adelsfamilj som regerade som kungar och tsarer i Serbien under medeltiden. Ätten grundades av Stefan Nemanja, som var en ättling till Vojislavljević-ätten. Ätten producerade elva serbiska regenter mellan 1166 och 1371. Efter att Stefan Nemanja antagit namnet Stefan, som betyder "krönt" på grekiska, använde alla efterföljande monarker av denna ätt dess namn som en titel. Den blev snabbt oskiljbar från monarkin och även andra ätter som gjorde anspråk på den serbiska tronen antog titeln före sitt namn. Nemanjić-ättens vapensköld bestod av en vit, dubbelörn på en röd bakgrund och ligger till grunden för Serbiens riksvapen idag.

Stefan Nemanjas tredje son, Rastko Nemanjić, kom även att spela en avgörande roll i Serbiens historia då han blev Serbiens förste ärkebiskop. Rastko Nemanjić är mera känd under sitt helgona namn, sankt Sava.

Nemanjić-ätten regerade i Serbien mellan 1166-1371 och under dess tid nådde Serbien höjden som stormakt och inom dess gränser omfattade stora delar av Balkanhalvön.

Diagnostic imaging is one of the fastest-growing and most expensive elements of healthcare. When unnecessary MRI, CT scans, and PET scans are ordered, the gains can be minimal and the expense high.
A multi-disciplinary team developed evidence-based criteria to guide the use of advanced imaging. Now physicians can order advanced procedures only when certain criteria are met.
These protocols reduced the unnecessary use of imaging by 39 percent in two years, saving more than $3.2 million annually. There was a 14 percent reduction in MRIs for back pain and a 64 percent decrease in MRIs for brain and other neurological problems.
Although the Everett Clinic lost more than $1.5 million in revenue in just one year, managing the use of imaging by ordering the right test at the right time reduces costs for patients and insurance carriers/sponsors.
