National Museum of Cambodia
Traditional Khmer art & religious artifacts in a 1920s building inspired by temple architecture.
The traditional Khmer building that houses the national collection was built in 1920. Inside, the dazzling array of ancient Khmer artistry, with more than 1,800 objects on display, is a must visit for anyone with an interest in Cambodian history. The major highlights of the museum galleries are the Vishnu head excavated near the vast temple complex of Angkor Wat; the incredible Angkorian collection, with statues from the temples of Koh Ker and Angkor Thom; and the large exhibit of pre-Angkorian artifacts that trace Cambodia's Funan and Chenla periods.

Independence Monument
Landmark 20-m tower built in 1958 to celebrate Cambodia's independence from France.
A 60-foot (20-meter) tall Angkor-style monument built in 1958, the Phnom Penh Independence Monument was constructed to commemorate the Cambodians winning back their independence from the French in 1953. Renowned Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann designed the monument; the architecture is patterned after a lotus flower and adorned with five levels of Naga heads, which gives it a very distinctive look. Located in the heart of busy Phnom Penh, the Independence Monument attracts many visitors, not only for its unique architecture, but also for its location: it's in the middle of a busy intersection and the eastern side features a large, open park that is a popular spot for locals to gather and jog or practice tai chi and aerobics.

Choeung Ek Genocidal Center
Historical place museum
Execution & burial site of victims of the Khmer Rouge, with a glass-walled stupa full of skulls.
The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek are a somber reminder of the terror of the Khmer Rouge whose brutal regime, intending to turn Cambodia into a socialist agrarian society, ruled the country between 1975 and early 1979. In under four years, it's estimated that between one and three million Cambodians were killed under Pol Pot's authoritarian command. Many perished because of famine and disease, but also hundreds of thousands of Cambodians - intellectuals, educated people such as teachers and doctors, regime opponents, and simply anyone suspected of being an opponent - were murdered.

Preah Vihear Preah Keo Morakot.
Temple in Royal Palace complex named for its floor of silver tiles & home to bejeweled Buddhas.
While visiting the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, it's almost impossible to miss the Silver Pagoda (Wat Preah Keo), an impressive, opulent structure. With a floor that's covered with five tons of silver, a Baccarat-crystal Buddha perched on a gilded pedestal (known as the Emerald Buddha) and a life-sized solid-gold Buddha that weighs almost 200 pounds (90 kg) and is covered with 9,584 diamonds (the largest is 25 carats), a visit to the Silver Pagoda is one that is not easily forgotten. Though they're hard to get a peek at (they're covered up for protection), see if you can get a look at one of the more than 5,000 silver tiles that were inlaid during King Norodom Sihanouk's pre-Khmer Rouge reign and are the reason for the temple's nickname.
Oknha Chhun St. (240), Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Royal Palace Park
The official home of Cambodian royals is located in the heart of Phnom Penh, where the gilded rooflines of the Royal Palace preside over manicured grounds. It's a gem of Khmer architecture and one of the city's most popular sites. Follow in royal footsteps as you explore the intricate Throne Hall, visit the Silver Pagoda, and more.
Wat Langka
Intricate, bustling Buddhist pagoda with gilded accents & public meditation sessions.
Wat Langka is a colourful Buddhist temple located in the heart of the city of Phnom Penh in Cambodia. The temple, which gets its name from an order of monks from Sri Lanka, was initially built to store sacred Buddhist scripts and writings. One of those rare monuments to survive the Khmer Rouge, it is a popular attraction among the tourists visiting Siem Reap for its vibrant architecture and the massive collection of ancient Buddhist holy writings.
Samdach Louis Em, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Huge indoor mall built in 1937 with an art deco–style dome & 4 shop-filled hallways branching out.

Cambodia-Vietnam Monument
Concrete monument celebrating the alliance between Vietnam & Cambodia after the war in the 1970s.
Built in the late 1970s, the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument is a statue located in a large reflecting pool that stands in honor of the former alliance between Cambodia and Vietnam. Located at the Botum Park near the center of Phnom Penh, not far from the Royal Palace, the monument is an interesting piece of history as it was built by the Communist regime that took power after the Cambodian-Vietnamese War and overthrew the leadership of the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge was the ruling party that caused the atrocities that can be witnessed at Tuol Sleng Prison and the Killing Fields.
Orussey Market
Sprawling, buzzing indoor market with stalls selling food, housewares, clothing & electronics.
Orussey Market is an old wholesale market located in the downtown close to Monivong Boulevard, one of the main areas for shopping in the city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Spread across three floors consisting of hundreds of shops, it is the largest market for local products in the country and is more famous among the locals than the tourists. It is well visiting the market for the travelers to experience how Cambodia's busiest market looks like, with people from all over the country coming here every day to buy a wide range of essential products.
Oknha Tep Phan St. (182), Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Kanika Boat
Cruise line company
There is no better way to start the evening than with a relaxing jaunt along the Mekong or Tonle Sap rivers as the sun melts into the horizon to mark the end of another day. There are plenty of options, which vary in price and quality. Tara Boats and Kanika come recommended and offer a range of boat trips, including buffet dinner and entertainment.

Experience Cambodian Living Arts, Phnom Penh
Arts organization
Performing arts group
Traditional Khmer classical dance originated in the royal courts and wasn't introduced to the general public until the mid-1900s. Today, a number of theatrical performances can be seen in Broadway-like shows around Cambodia, where costumed dancers recreate epic poems and legends through elaborate moves. If you're in Phnom Phen, a great way to see this first hand is to join the Experience Cambodian Living Arts, Dance Show tour.

A relatively new temple, Wat Moha Montrei was build in 1970. The temple, which lacks the typical bold colors, is made of cement, features intricate carvings and is topped with a 35m tower. Peaceful on a weekend morning, we found stray cats lounging about the stupas and monks in their saffron robes chatting on the stairs.

Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk
This memorial park features a monument depicting Norodom Sihanouk, the "father king" of Cambodia.
The Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk is the Norodom Sihanouk Memorial located in the capital city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is a monument commemorating former King Norodom Sihanouk, who is credited for his efforts in liberating the country from French colonization.

ផ្សារអូឡាំពិក
Sprawling, low-key indoor market featuring local fabric & imported clothing, plus accessories.
Known for fine textiles, the Olympic Market is housed in a ramshackle building (sadly featuring a dilapidated Olympic torch emblem).
95 St 286, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
National Olympic Stadium
The Olympic neighborhood is centered on the Olympic Stadium, which has never been used in any Olympic games. Built in the early 1960s (and recently renovated), the 80,000-seat stadium features Olympic-size pools, diving pools, a soccer field and an indoor sports court. It is free to go inside and walk around.
Charles de Gaulle Boulevard រាជធានីភ្នំពេញ, 12253, Cambodia
Wat Botum Park
5 km from city center 25 out of 25 places to visit in Phnom Penh. Known as the Temple of Lotus Blossoms, Wat Botum is located close to the Royal Palace and the Wat Botum Park. One of the city's original wats, this magnificent structure was constructed in the 1400s under King Ponhea Yat's rule.
Phnom Penh Night Market
Busy market with live music & stalls offering fabrics, jewelry & crafts, plus Khmer street food.
The Night Market is located on the riverfront close to downtown in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia. This local night market open only during the weekends is a famous attraction for the Cambodians as well as tourists who come to enjoy a cold night by the riverfront tasting local street food and beer, to shop for cheap clothes, souvenirs and local jewellery. For tourists visiting Phnom Penh, exploring the local night market is a way of experiencing a Cambodian way of local life more than a destination for shopping.
Preah Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Silk Island
Traditional silk-weaving center on an island, featuring villages with demonstrations, shops & tours.
With its golden sands and clear water, Nang Yuan Island (Koh Nang Yuan) is the poster child of southern Thailand. Hike the rocky, forested landscape; swim and snorkel in crystalline water; or just relax in relative quiet. Nang Yuan sees only a fraction of the crowds that flock to its neighbors.
CF Mekong River Cruises
Phnom Penh is a riverine town, and one of the most relaxing ways to go sightseeing in the city is to take to the water. There are regular sunset cruise tourist boat departures from the riverfront between 5pm and 7.30pm, which head along the Tonlé Sap and Mekong Rivers, or you can also hire a private boat nearby to head out on the water at any time of the day (you'll want to put your bargaining hat on though, if you'd like to hire a private boat). This is a great way to get away from the bustling motorbike-clogged streets for an hour and soak up the gentler pace of local river life.

Kandal Market
Traditional market
Compact cluster of food stalls selling meat & seafood, plus prepared local specialty dishes.
Kandal Market, or Phsar Kandal in Khmer, is the "market in the middle," or "central market" (not to be confused with the other, major Central Market in Phnom Penh). Though Kandal Market does sell goods such as clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry, it's primarily known as the food market for locals. There's no better way to get a real sense of place than by visiting a local market; take a trip to Kandal and immerse yourself in the colors, textures, smells and tastes of Cambodia.
13 Preah Ang Eng St. (13), Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Night Market and Playground
Phnom Penh's Night Market on the riverfront is aimed squarely at visitors and tourists, offering a wide and varied selection of Cambodian handicrafts silks, art and souvenirs. It is 6 minutes drive from Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel & Residence.

Day 3 of the Collective Impact Summit in Toronto brings with it more great discussions and learnings. I'm happy to share more highlights from the sessions held on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014.
What makes collective impact steering committee meetings a priority for leaders who juggle myriad commitments? In my opinion, F-words – but not the ones you're thinking of!
Grantmakers are critical partners in collective impact efforts. More than just funders, grantmakers can help catalyze connections and lay the groundwork for initiatives to take shape. Because of the power dynamics inherent in the relationship between grantmakers and grantees, grantmakers must be mindful of the role they play.
"In any given week, you could go to three meetings and hear the same report three times." "Too many people are coming to us with too many asks." These are some of the recurring sentiments that prompted the leaders of collective impact initiatives in Northern Kentucky to ask, "What would it look like if we realigned?" The article in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, "Aligning Collective Impact Initiatives" (written by two of my colleagues at the Forum for Youth Investment), chronicles the process those leaders used to consolidate the goals, strategies and commitments of multiple education initiatives under one backbone organization.


I want rid of them, whom without complete trust and loyalty. It is painful knowing they have reservations all of a sudden. I guess friendship is another romantic relationship. Someone new and better comes along, off the other go or engage into an illicit affair. Of course, it is not cheating. I do not think there is such thing as cheating on a friend with another person, or perhaps I am just naive.
So these friends, yes with "s" friends, I still see their confuse face. I still hear the stutter in their voices. I still remember the undertones of what they said. It is clear as sunny day — we found someone who gives us better opportunities. We like you, but you are so last season. Your flavour has gone stale ages ago, but we are still with you... in a way... in a small way because you are you. You come somehow handy now and then. But we are still friends, okay.
Pathetic. Maybe it is just an overthought, but I know people. If there is one thing I am good at, it is profiling people. It is the bane of my existence, just knowing their feelings and thoughts, overlapping my own.
Whatever, really. I will play their game. It just bothers me because loyalty means so much to me. I am loyal to a fault, and because loyalty is having faith in people. Besides, I love my friends. So yeah, it hurts. But like any person who loves more than the other in a romantic relationship, I let the other person be with the perks of happiness wherever or with whomever. But it still hurts.

You will be admitted to the hospital or ambulatory surgery center the day before or the morning of surgery. Most patients are able to leave the hospital the same day or one day after surgery.
2. How is the surgery performed?
The surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia. Small openings are made in the white part of the eye called the sclera. Small, thin instruments are placed into the eye through these openings. These vitrectomy instruments include a fiber optic light used to light the inside of the eye and a variety of cutters, scissors, and forceps. The surgery is done using a microscope that focuses through the pupil.
3. What are the possible complications of vitrectomy surgery?
There are risks and complications that can occur with any surgery. The risk sand complications that can occur with vitrectomy include: infection, retinal detachment, retinal tear, cataract formation, glaucoma, more vitreous hemorrhage after surgery, and the development of scar tissue. Although these complications can often be managed by further treatment, any one of them may cause the vision to get worse or cause a total loss of vision and perhaps eventual loss of the eye.
4. Are there risks to anesthesia?
General anesthesia always carries a degree of risk. Minor risks include postoperative nausea, vomiting, and hiccupping. Some patients experience an upset stomach following surgery. If nausea does develop, it can be controlled with medication. Occasionally, patients will experience some confusion and prolonged sleepiness. Older men may have trouble urinating. Very rarely, serious reactions occur that may result in liver failure, cardiac arrest, and even death.
Local anesthesia involves placement of a needle through the lower eyelid, beneath the eye. There is the rare possibility that the needle could penetrate the eye or cause damage to the optic nerve.
5. Will my eye hurt after surgery?
Most patients will note some discomfort around the eye that can be relieved with medication if necessary. Severe pain is very unusual. The eye will remain swollen, red, and somewhat tender and uncomfortable for several weeks. Itchiness or a scratchy, foreign-body sensation when opening or closing the eyes is common. This is cause by small stitches. These stitches will gradually become soft and fall out or be absorbed.
6. What is I do experience a great deal of pain?
If you experience a great deal of pain, please let your surgeon know promptly. Pain can be an important symptom indicating infection, excessive pressure in the eye, or injury to the front surface of the cornea. You should notify your surgeon promptly if you are experiencing more that mild pain.
7. What instructions must I follow when I go home after surgery?
We ask that patients not engage in strenuous activity or exercise for about a week after surgery. They may return to work or to driving when they feel able to do so; this is usually within a week or two. They are encouraged to take walks and engage in normal activity as soon as possible.
If a patient has had the front surface of the cornea removed during surgery, a snug "pressure" patch or a bandage contact lens may be applied to the eye until the front surface heals. It is alright to remove the patch temporarily when eye medications are given.
If a gas bubble has been placed in the eye to hold the retina in position, the patient may be asked to lie face down or on one side. Usually, the patient is required to remain in this position most of the time for several days. This positioning will place the gas bubble in the correct position within the eye so that the retina stays in place. If a gas bubble is in your eye, you should not sleep on your back. Otherwise, the gas bubble rises and rests again the lens of your eye and may cause a cataract. Also, the gas bubble may rise and close off the normal flow of fluid out of the eye, which will increase the pressure in the eye. If a gas bubble has been used as part of your surgery, you may not travel by airplane until the gas bubble has absorbed, and travel to high altitudes should be done in a gradual fashion. It usually takes several weeks for the gas bubble to disappear. We will advise you as to when you may lie flat on your back and when you may travel by air.
8. What medicines do I use after surgery?
Most surgeons will use a type of dilating drop that eases the discomfort of the inflamed eye. An antibiotic drop may be used to help prevent infection. A steroid drop is often used to reduce inflammation and make the eye more comfortable.
If your surgeon is concerned about increased pressure in the eye, pressure-lowering eye drops or oral medications may be prescribed. Your surgeon will decide when to stop these medications, but most drops are used for a few weeks. If you run out of medications, call your physician and ask if more are required.
9. How long will I need to wear a patch or metal shield?
The patch may be worn for up to one week for the patient's comfort. In most instances, it plays no role in the healing of the eye.
The use of a metal shield may be encouraged for protection. If a patient normally wears glasses, they may be work over the patch during the day and the metal shield worn at nighttime. We will advise you whether a patch or shield is necessary.
10. Will I see better right after surgery?
The eye and the retina may take several weeks to fully heal. When vitrectomy is done for a vitreous hemorrhage, there will always be some blood left. This causes some cloudiness of vision that may take several weeks to clear.
There may be oozing of blood from the retina after surgery, which may result in even more vitreous hemorrhage. This hemorrhage usually clears after several days to weeks. If it does not clear, it can sometimes be removed on an outpatient basis by removing the fluid in the eye and replacing it with a gas bubble. The gas bubble will slowly disappear over several weeks and be replaced by clear fluid made by the eye. Infrequently, it may be necessary to reoperate in order to remove this repeat hemorrhage.
If surgery has been performed for a retinal detachment, it will take time for the retina to resume its normal position again the back wall of the eye.
When retinal tears are present, gas may be used to fill the eye at the end of surgery. The gas is used to press the retina flat again the back wall of the eye. The vision will be very poor until the gas bubble disappears.
Often the retina is treated with laser during the surgery. This is done to keep it attached, to seal retinal tears, and to prevent the growth of neovascularization. A special laser instrument is placed inside the vitreous cavity of the eye to do this. This laser surgery can result in inflammation and cloudiness that may take a few weeks to clear.
Improved vision after retinal surgery is not immediate. It may take several months before the vision improves to its best possible level. In most cases, when the diabetes has caused such damage to the retina that vitreous or retinal surgery is necessary, the eye will never again see normally. Sometimes, small amount of visual impairment occur, and occasionally, a great deal of improvement occurs. Each eye is different. Before your surgery, we will discuss with your chances for better eyesight.
11. Is it possible that I might not see after surgery?
Despite our increasing knowledge of diabetic retinopathy, and despite the sophisticated surgical equipment and techniques that we bring into the operating room, we may find ourselves unable to improve a patient's vision. The chance for blindness in PDR is very real. When considering surgery, the patient and the doctor together must weigh the risks, including the possibility of total blindness, against the possible benefits of either stabilizing or improving vision. It is important for the patient to know that surgery may fail because of complications or simply due to the progressive nature of diabetes.

Producer Hires Musicologist For "Mrs. Officer Lawsuit" vs Lil Wayne
JLBarrow • February 25, 2011 • No Comments
Lil Wayne's strained relationship with hip-hop producers continues. According to Allhiphop.com producer, Michael 'MalilBoy' Bradford claims he made the original beat for Lil Wayne's hit single "Mrs. Officer" and has hired an expert witness to testify on his behalf, relating to a copyright infringement lawsuit.
The original lawsuit was filed in January of 2009, claiming that he made the original beat for the hit single, which features crooner Bobby V.
Bradford's lawsuit claims he made the original track five years before it was reworked by producer Deezle, who was given credit for the song, which is featured on Wayne's hit album Tha Carter III.
According to Bradford, he made the original beat on an instrumental track titled "Popeye."
Get more details on the lawsuit by clicking HERE at Allhiphop.com.
Nodfactor interviewed Deezle about his work on ThA Carter III back in 2008. Listen to that exclusive interview HERE.

The Other Top 25 2020-21: Gonzaga should be a national championship favorite
The Zags start at No. 1 in our poll and might be No. 1 nationally.
By Russell Steinberg@Russ_Steinberg May 18, 2020, 11:08am PDT
Share All sharing options for: The Other Top 25 2020-21: Gonzaga should be a national championship favorite
Well, it's that time again. Now that we're knee-deep in the college basketball offseason, it's time to reveal our Too Early Other Top 25 Rankings for the 2020-21 season*. Over the next few days, we'll release them five at a time until the whole set is out and ready to be blasted by the crazed fans of Twitter. Away we go!
There are few guarantees in college basketball, but there are usually a couple in The Other Top 25. One of them is that Gonzaga is going to be up there, probably at 1 or 2. The other is that the remaining four teams will be somewhere in the hunt for at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament.
This year is no different.
The Zags are No. 1 in The Other Top 25 and might start the 2020-21 college basketball season (if it happens) as the top team in all the land. Yes, this is like the 85th consecutive year that we have put Gonzaga in or near the top spot in the preseason. So it's easy to take for granted exactly what Mark Few has managed to do in Spokane. He's turned a West Coast Conference school that had one magical tournament run when he was an assistant into a program that performs on the same level as the bluebloods of the sport. Every year.
Gonzaga isn't the only team from outside the power conferences with the ability to make a run in March 2021. As you'll see here, the Atlantic 10 and Missouri Valley are both primed for big years.
In the A-10, it's not the usual suspects, either; Travis Ford finally has it rolling at Saint Louis (we think), while Chris Mooney hopes to prove us right after we tweeted #ExtendMooney into existence.
In the Valley, Northern Iowa and Loyola University Chicago are the two clubs to keep an eye on. Both return the core of solid teams from last year, making the MVC a potential multi-bid league for the first time in the post-Wichita State era.
5. Northern Iowa Panthers
2019-20: 25-6 (13-4)
There were few occurrences weirder last February and March (pre-quarantine) than watching Northern Iowa blast Drake by 27 in Des Moines, only to see the Bulldogs come back and win by 21 less than a week later in the Missouri Valley quarterfinals. That loss probably popped what would have been UNI's bubble and have doomed an awesome Panthers team to the NIT.
Thankfully, that same group returns in 2020-21, led by reigning conference player of the year AJ Green. Last year, Green became just the third sophomore ever to win that award, joining Fred VanVleet and Doug McDermott. He's scored over 1,100 points in his two seasons thanks to a 44% mark from three in conference play and a 92% rate from the line overall. Green is the best shooter in the Valley, and if he can make strides in his ability to defend and distribute, he'll have the Panthers in the AP Top 25 conversation.
UNI is returning more than just the best player in the conference. By his side — or, rather, down low — will be Austin Phyfe, the league's best big man not named Cameron Krutwig. Phyfe is one of the most efficient players you'll ever see — he led the MVC in offensive rating (132.6) and shot 69% (nice) from the field in conference play. He also ranked in the top two in the league in offensive rebounding percentage, defensive rebounding percentage, and effective field goal percentage. For that reason, the two best players in the conference might play their home games in Cedar Falls.
With those two, it's easy to see why the Panthers had one of the most efficient offenses in the country last year (No. 23 per KenPom), and that's not even factoring in Trae Berhow, who was second on the team in scoring and shot 42% from three. He'll be back as well.
There's not much of note coming in either on the transfer market or in the freshman class, but that's ok. The one key, according to Ben Jacobson, will be if Tywhon Pickford can step up and fill the void left by Isaiah Brown's graduation. Brown was MVC defensive player of the year last year, but Jacobson thinks Pickford can help make up for his loss.
"We're counting on Ty to come in whenever we would get back, this summer or the fall, and immediately step into that spot. He's shown that he can do some of those same things defensively. Now we need him to do it for longer and we need him to do it every practice and every game."

4. Loyola University Chicago Ramblers
2019-20: 21-11 (13-5)
Loyola's best shot at becoming more than "the team that made the Final Four that one time" is in 2020-21. Almost the entire team is returning from a group that won 13 games in the Valley and played its best basketball in February, which included a win at then-reigning conference champion Bradley on Senior Day.
Krutwig, the only guy other than AJ Green to get a player of the year vote, will return for his senior season. I could sit here and spew stats at you, but a better use of your time would be to go read what Kyle Cajero wrote about him back in December. TL;DR: Krutwig can score, rebound, and assist, and he can do all those things well.
Thanks to his role on the Final Four team in 2018, Krutwig is the guy everyone will know. But he's certainly not the only player capable of earning all-conference honors. In fact, Tate Hall was All-Valley Third Team and on the All-Newcomer Team last season. The transfer from University of Indianapolis is a three-point marksman who picks his spots well, and as you just read in Kyle's piece (I know you read it), is excellent in transition.
On the other end of the court is the Ramblers' honoree on the All-Defensive Team from last year, Lucas Williamson. The lock-down defender ranked fourth in the Valley in steal percentage and, as the Loyola Phoenix points out, forced UNI's Green to commit 14 turnovers over two games last year.
Returning everyone from an already-good team is a great way to get into The Other Top 25. Adding someone like sit-out transfer Brandon Norris, finally eligible this season, can put Loyola over the top. Norris was a Horizon League All-Freshman Team member and ranked 23rd in Division I with a 2.75 assist-to-turnover ratio in 2018-19. He and Williamson will give Loyola the most annoying, suffocating backcourt in the league.

3. Saint Louis Billikens
One of the 4 million college basketball mysteries that the COVID-19 pandemic has left us with is what could have been for the Saint Louis Billikens. They had put together their best season yet under Travis Ford, thanks to a red-hot finish to the regular season. SLU won its last five games, including a win at home over VCU and at both Rhode Island and George Mason. A second-straight Atlantic 10 championship was certainly possible (before you laugh, remember: The Billikens lost to Dayton by two and by five in 2020).
The core of Ford's first true recruiting class is entering its senior season, led by Jordan Goodwin, Hasahn French and Javonte Perkins. Those three also happen to be the Billikens' three leading scorers and rebounders from last year. Aside from returning every important player from last year's team, Saint Louis also adds Marten Linssen, a transfer from UNC Wilmington that averaged 10-and-five for the Seahawks last year. He is eligible to play immediately.
Last year's Billikens were known for a few things, some good and some bad. The good: they were one of the best defensive units in the country, ranking 44th nationally in defensive efficiency (per KenPom) and keeping their opponents under 70 points in each of their last seven games.
That defense started with the rising seniors. French was second in the A-10 in block percentage and holds the school record both for career blocks and blocks in a season. Meanwhile the 6'3 Goodwin had 10 games last season in which he recorded three-or-more steals. As a team, Saint Louis held opponents to just 44% from inside the arc — the 23rd-best mark in the nation.
It seems like we just can't write something up about Saint Louis without mentioning that the Billikens were comically bad from the foul line. Will this make a big difference next year? Who knows. But they ranked 353 out of [checks notes] 353 Division I teams in free throw shooting, making just 57.1% of their attempts (1.4% worse than 352nd-ranked UAPB). French is a major part of that. He took more free throws than anyone on the team (155) and made 51 of them. That's under 33%.
That seems like it could be a big deal in a close game. Idk. Anyway, Saint Louis is good enough that it shouldn't matter TOO MUCH. The Billikens will dance again in 2021 (season-pending).

2. Richmond Spiders
Take out Dayton, which was just stupid-good last season, and Richmond was the best of the rest in the Atlantic 10. Not many could have seen that coming. Mooney hasn't brought his team to the NCAA Tournament since 2011 and patience was wearing thin among the Spider faithful. As mentioned above, fans will have to wait to dump Mooney a little bit longer and their (forced) patience should pay off in 2020-21.
Like the Billikens, Richmond also ended the season red-hot, losing just once after Jan. 28 and winning on the road four times in that span. And as great as Saint Louis's junior class was last year, Richmond's was even better, led by Blake Francis and Grant Golden. Uh...and Jacob Gilyard and Nick Sherod and Nathan Cayo. Those five were, in order, the team's leading scorers and will all be seniors in the fall. And those top four could all make arguments to be on the preseason all-conference first- or second-team.
Francis and Golden will get the most attention as the two most potent offensive threats, but the team is so much more than those two. Gilyard led the nation in steals and steals per game. Sherod shot 44% from three. Cayo shot 56% overall and ended the season on a tear.
Apart from the seniors, Richmond will get a boost in the backcourt from Tulane transfer Connor Crabtree and incoming freshman Isaiah Wilson. Neither will compete for starting minutes next season, but both should provide some backcourt depth for a team already with an embarrassment of riches at guard, once you also factor in Andre Gustavson, who started six games and had his share of nice moments last year.

1. Gonzaga Bulldogs
2019-20: 31-2 (15-1), WCC Champions
Gonzaga has been an NCAA Tournament stalwart and reached that elusive Final Four a couple years back. The national championship still hasn't come, but now that Mark Few is recruiting at an elite level — in addition to being an elite coach — it seems like only a matter of time.
2021 might be that time.
The Zags lost just twice last year — both losses coming to KenPom top 20 teams — and could bring back national player of the year candidate Filip Petrusev (these rankings will be adjusted if he remains in the NBA Draft, but let's face it, Gonzaga might stay No. 1 anyway).
For now, let's say everyone who can return to Gonzaga will do so. Petrusev came out of nowhere last year to beautifully fill the frontcourt void that Rui Hachimura and Brandon Clarke left. That's a main reason why the Bulldogs defied preseason expectations to be one of the best in the country again, despite Killian Tillie battling injury.
The main reason. Not the only reason. Freshman Drew Timme was awesome in his rookie year and became a model of efficiency on both ends of the court. Then there's Oumar Ballo, who redshirted last year, but was the top international prospect in the nation, according to Jonathan Givony.
The Bulldogs' interior can compete with any in the nation. No question. But the backcourt might be a question ma- [checks roster] nope. This team is loaded. And incoming top-10 recruit Jalen Suggs will make it even better. Suggs headlines a three-man recruiting class that also includes four-star wing Julian Strawther and four-star combo guard Dominick Harris. They'll join Joel Ayayi and Corey Kispert on the wing and, well, I'm not really sure how you beat this team. Kispert shoots 44% from three and Ayayi can take over for Ryan Woolridge at the point as an adept scorer, distributor, and defender.
Gonzaga's gonna be fun as hell.
Other teams receiving votes: Nevada, South Dakota State, Buffalo, San Francisco, Stephen F. Austin, Delaware, Winthrop, UMass, UIC, Bowling Green, Georgia State, Eastern Washington.


If you type 'best way' into Google, the first recommendation it comes up with is 'best way to lose weight', ergo it's the most popular search and what many of us want to know.
After the last 2 years of training at a variety of gyms including Roar Fitness, Third Space and Barry's Bootcamp, the latest F45 popped up very close to the PRESS office in Oxford Circus (F45OC) and well... it'd be rude not to right?
They claim to be 'The World's fastest growing fitness network', so a couple of us at PRESS signed up to the 7 Day Trial for £20, absolute bargain!

Oh and, did we mention that at the end of the 8 Week Challenge there's a £1,000 cash prize up for grabs! That's one sweet incentive to get you out of bed in the morning.
1. It's all about the workout. The classes are intense but the exercises change fast enough for you to keep up your energy levels and give the whole session your all.
2. It works! If you stay at it, you'll see results. The average person loses 7-10% body fat over the course of 8 weeks.
3. There are no mirrors in the studio so you can't see yourself, nor do you want to - there's no judgment. It's just you vs you.. although if you get a Lion Heart, it's you vs everyone else with a Lion Heart.
4. There's a real community feel, everyone's in it together. The trainers are super friendly, supportive and attentive. High-fives and fist-bumps all round.
5. The weekly emails will make you smile no matter what mood you're in!
"To ALL you 8 Week Challenge (8WC) RASCALS!!! Well done you absolute bunch of SOOOORTS! Phenomenal efforts so far. Your results will be DISGRACEFULLY GOOD in 4 weeks time."
"(ps. Hairdryers in the girls changing room will hopefully soon CHILL OUT. Sukin hair and skin products INCOMINGGGG. ...Hopefully one day the proper lockers will arrive too...)."
....the hairdryers have calmed down, the products have now arrived, as have the lockers FYI.
6. There's a live DJ in class on Saturday, EPIC!
7. The co-owners, Haydn Elliott and Tristan Smith are always full of motivation, energy and enthusiasm.

§ 404.2127
Resolution of disputes.
View all text of Subjgrp 216 [§ 404.2118 - § 404.2127]
§ 404.2127 - Resolution of disputes.
(a) Disputes on the amount to be paid. The appropriate SSA official will notify the State VR agency in writing of his or her determination concerning the amount to be paid. If the State VR agency disagrees with that determination, the State VR agency may request reconsideration in writing within 60 days after receiving the notice of determination. The Commissioner will make a determination and notify the State VR agency of that decision in writing, usually no later than 45 days from the date of the State VR agency's appeal. The decision by the Commissioner will be final and conclusive upon the State VR agency unless the State VR agency appeals that decision in writing in accordance with 45 CFR part 16 to the Department of Health and Human Services' Departmental Appeals Board within 30 days after receiving the Commissioner's decision.
(b) Disputes on whether there was a continuous period of SGA and whether VR services contributed to a continuous period of SGA. The rules in paragraph (a) of this section will apply, except that the Commissioner's decision will be final and conclusive. There is no right of appeal to the Departmental Appeals Board.
(c) Disputes on determinations made by the Commissioner which affect a disability beneficiary's rights to benefits. Determinations made by the Commissioner which affect an individual's right to benefits (e.g., determinations that disability benefits should be terminated, denied, suspended, continued or begun at a different date than alleged) cannot be appealed by a State VR agency. Because these determinations are an integral part of the disability benefits claims process, they can only be appealed by the beneficiary or applicant whose rights are affected or by his or her authorized representative. However, if an appeal of an unfavorable determination is made by the individual and is successful, the new determination would also apply for purposes of this subpart. While a VR agency cannot appeal a determination made by the Commissioner which affects a beneficiary's or applicant's rights, the VR agency can furnish any evidence it may have which would support a revision of a determination.

Nikias Arndt finishes stage 1 of the Tour de France.
Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) put in a stunning performance to win the opening time trial of the Tour de France, covering the 14km in Düsseldorf course in a time of 16:04 to take the first leader's yellow jersey.
Stefan Küng (BMC) was second at five seconds with former world champion Vasil Kiryienka (Sky) third at seven seconds. Froome came in sixth at 12 seconds, the best of the overall favourites to give Team Sky another reason to celebrate.
The opening stage was marked by heavy rain and wet roads that sparked many crashes. Movistar veteran Alejandro Valverde was the most seriously injured, and went to hospital after crashing full force into the barriers. Initial reports suggested he fractured his kneecap and cut his leg.
Thomas had to sit in the hot seat and suffer as his rivals finished. He finally got to celebrate when last starter Froome crossed the line.
"It's an amazing feeling. I didn't believe it was going to happen, I thought, 'Martin's going to beat me, or somebody's going to beat me,' " Thomas said.
"I've had my fair share of bad luck this year. Also, back home the last month hasn't been great, all this year actually. It's amazing to get this win, and big thanks to everyone who's supported me. Big shout out to my wife, and my mum as well. We've both had a bit of a rough time recently. It's a great day."
Elie Gesbert of Fortuneo-Oscaro celebrated both his Tour de France debut and his 22nd birthday by being the first down the start ramp on a very grey and wet day in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Dylan Groenewegen (LottoNL-Jumbo) was an early victim of the rain, slipping out on a turn and slip-sliding a long way into the barriers. He made his way gamely to the finish, no doubt hoping for better luck in the coming sprint finishes.
As the stage went along, the best time went from Astana's Andrei Grivko (16:21), to Sunweb's Nikias Arndt (16:20), to Quick-Step's Matteo Trentin (16:14). Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe), perhaps gunning for the yellow jersey in the coming days, put in a time of 16:29. However former World Champion Vasil Kiryienka (Sky) was the next to sit in the hot seat with a time of 16:11.
The corner that took down Groenewegen seemed to hurt LottoNL-Jumbo, as George Bennett slid out there too. He needed a new bike, and the road was so slick that even the mechanic went sliding as he pushed the rider off. Lotto Soudal's Tony Gallopin also took a tumble, going straight into the barriers. Other riders crashed but were not seen on television as the rain made conditions very difficult.
Kiryienka's time withheld a challenge from one teammate Michal Kwiatkowski, but it fell to another when Thomas blasted through the finish line seven seconds faster to move into the hot seat with a time of 16:04.
Shortly thereafter, the wet road claimed a very prominent victim, as Valverde slid out and hit the barriers full force. His injuries were not immediately known but it was clear that they were serious enough to take him out of the race, and he was soon on his way to hospital.
Fellow Spaniard Ion Izagirre (Bahrain-Merida) was yet another crash victim, ultimately abandoning the race as well. It was a tough day for Spain's overall hopes.
After seeing teammates crash, more and more riders decided to take few risks on the wet roads. Richie Porte (BMC) finished a surprising 47 seconds down. Even World and German champion Tony Martin (Katusha) took it carefully through some of the corners, and finished only a disappointed fourth.
Trek-Segafredo's Alberto Contador and Nairo Quintana (Movistar) came in some ways down as well, giving Froome ample opportunity to pick up time. Finishing just 12 seconds behind Thomas, he gained 35 seconds on Porte, 36 on Quintana and 42 on Contador.
The Tour de France has only just begun but the rain-soaked 14km time trial has left a serious mark on the race.

The other day I was turning the pages of my album of old pictures and saw some black and white pictures of me along with some other children, wearing sari. That was a picture taken in Kolkata (Calcutta) many years ago. Looking at the picture I believe I was about seven years old. That was the fun part of Saraswati Puja in Kolkata. All children were allowed to wear a sari. They even sold saris for children and still do in Kolkata but we wore our mother's sari with much relish.
We all looked forward to Saraswati Puja at the time. There were various reasons for that. One of them being we got to wear sari and jewelry even if it was for a day.
The other reason was that, we were allowed to participate in the preparation of puja. The fun part was that we did not study that day. We were told to worship all our books, copies, pens and pencils along with Maa Saraswati. Hence we placed everything related to studies and music and craft on the floor near the idol. As a rule none of things placed near Maa Saraswati were to be used on the day of the pooja. That meant no homework and plenty of running around and dancing with the loud music in the pandal where Maa Saraswati's idol was placed.
We were also allowed to fast till puja around 8:00 in the morning. The puja consisted of mantra ucharan and pushpanjali. We wanted to know what the mantra meant and so we asked the purohit. I still faintly remember snippets of purohit's explanation of the mantra to us. Mantra described her as being white as the moon, clad in a white dress, decorated in white ornaments, radiating with beauty, holding a book and a pen in her hands representing knowledge.
Pandals were set up and an idol of Maa Saraswati was installed even if it was just for a few days. Little children running around and dancing to the hit music playing loudly on the loudspeaker was the best part for us. Maa Saraswati's idol looked like a beautiful woman dressed in white, seated on a white lotus, symbolizing light, knowledge and truth. Her decorations were mostly white themed: from dress to flowers to swan, all symbolizing Sattwa Guna or purity, representing true knowledge, insight and wisdom. The prominent feature of Maa Saraswati was the presence of veena, a musical instrument in her hands. I did not know at the time the presence of veena. Later I found out that it represented creative arts and sciences, and Maa Saraswati holding it symbolizes knowledge that creates harmony.
Maa Saraswati is always shown with a hamsa or a swan at her feet. In our mythology, hamsa is considered a sacred bird with the ability to separate milk from a mixture of milk and water, thus symbolizing its ability to discriminate between good and evil. Ma Saraswati is also referred to as Hamsavāhini, which means "she who has a hamsa as her vehicle". The swan is also a symbolism for spiritual perfection, transcendence and moksha. I still remember feeling peaceful every time I looked at her.
As little children we had no idea of the reason for celebrating it at the time. All we understood was that doing Saraswati Puja would assure good grades for us. As we grew, Saraswati Puja gradually unfolded many other aspects. We understood that Saraswati Puja fell on 'BasantPanchmi' that heralded the arrival of spring (Basanta). In its celebration everyone wore yellow saris.
Later when my sister was born and was old enough to study, our neighbors talked about Hatey-Khori (placing a pencil in a child's hand). I had no idea what that meant. Later I found out that this was the auspicious ceremony, where small kids are made to touch pen and ink for the first time, marking the beginning of 'learning phase in their life' with the blessings of Maa Saraswati. Saraswati Puja being an auspicious day people in Bengal usually chose this day for Hatey-Khori.
For us Saraswati Puja was the celebration to pay homage to Goddess of education. We also found out that she was considered daughter of Maa Durga in Bengal. That is perhaps the reason Saraswati is seen with Maa Durga along with her sons Ganesh and Kartik and her other daughter Laxmi during Durga Puja. In Bengal, Ganesh and Kartik are considered as Maa Durga's sons and Lakshmi and Saraswati as her daughters. They have a story that supports this concept.
Apart from Durga Puja, this was another puja that the youth, specially the teens anxiously awaited for. This was the day when young adults spent time hanging out with friends watching films and doing fun things together; that too without restrictions. It was a liberation day for the teens and youth at the time. Along with students, people involved in the field of other arts also celebrated the day equally because Saraswati is also known as the deity of art, wisdom and culture.
Call it nostalgia if you will, but for me celebration of Saraswati Puja continued even after I left Kolkata, in school and college in Varanasi. In school there was a permanent idol of Ma Saraswati. On Saraswati Puja we had the day off but were all asked to be present at the school ceremony of Saraswati Puja. In college it was also the celebration of Basant Panchami, the arrival of spring along with Saraswati Puja.
As a young adult entering college, I understood Maa Saraswati's association with anurāga, the love for and rhythm of music, which represents all emotions and feelings expressed in speech or music. This explained the reason for Maa Saraswati being worshipped by people associated with music, drama and other sectors of creative arts at our college, within Banaras Hindu University.
love for and rhythm of music.
When I returned to Nepal, there was not much hype about Saraswati Puja, except one done at home and the ones done at Saraswati temples around the country. Recently the Indian trend of public worship during different pujas is showing up with some instances of public puja organized by different communities. Pandals are being made and Maa Saraswati's idols are placed and worshipped.
It feels good to see public awareness for puja. This is a reminder for parents as well as children, that we need to keep our culture and beliefs intact and not get swayed by other people's cultures and beliefs. It is also necessary for the family members to talk about these cultural events in detail at home. Then again parents make sure your children understand well that just performing Saraswati Puja does not ensure good marks. Reemphasize the fact that Maa Saraswati only helps those who work hard. Hard work is always the main factor in one's success. Maa Saraswati's blessings and good luck come after that.

REVIEW: 2008 Wilderlands Jam
2008 Wilderlands Jam is a limited edition 48-page supplement for Adventure Games Publishing's "Wilderlands of High Adventure" setting. Originally released at GenCon this past summer, a number of copies are still available for sale for $12.00. Like all previous AGP releases, Jam is written for use with Troll Lord's Castles & Crusades system, but the vast majority of the material in its pages are easily convertible to most D&D-derived games, regardless of edition. Unlike previous AGP releases, however, this one includes no art beyond three hex maps. The book instead consists primarily of three-column pages of dense text. Truth be told, I didn't particularly miss the art, but I did find the print quality of this book noticeably poorer than in other AGP products. Although it doesn't harm legibility overly much for me, I wouldn't be surprised if it make the book less readable to those whose eyesight is worse than my own.
2008 Wilderlands Jam consists of four parts of varying length. Three of them are not new, having appeared in other forms before this product, while the fourth is an excerpt from an upcoming product. The first part, entitled "Warrior-Mages of the Wilderlands," is the shortest (at 6 pages) and is still available as a free PDF from the AGP website. This part introduces a new C&C character class called, as one might expect, the Warrior-Mage. The Warrior-Mage exists for players who wish to create characters that immediately combine fighting prowess with spellcasting without the need to multiclass. The result is a class that's less puissant at arms than a Fighter (a lower Base to Hit and Hit Dice, for example) but just as magically adept as a Wizard. Of course, the class is very slow to advance, needing nearly 5000 XP to reach level 2, so there is a price to be paid for such versitility.
Where the Warrior-Mage stands out, though, is in the various "traditions" Mishler describes. These traditions are different culturally-based "schools" of Warrior-Mage training, each with its little twists on the core abilities of the class. Each tradition includes a focus weapon used for the casting of spells (and the various bonuses associated with it), a list of weapon and armor restrictions, and some special abilities that enable the Warrior-Mage to use his spells in creative ways. Three sample traditions are described and Mishler provides a list of special abilities from which to construct one's own traditions or to use models when creating new special abilities. Rounding out this part, there are also descriptions of fourteen new spells unique to the Warrior-Mage.
I like the idea of the Warrior-Mage. I've often felt that D&D suffered a bit for never including a baseline class that included both fighting and magical abilities, particularly given the way elves are portrayed in a lot of fantasy literature. I've also been of the opinion that multiclassing has often been much too clunky in its implementation to succeed in combining aspects of multiple class archetypes. That said, I'm not completely happy with the Warrior-Mage, which is a fairly complex class once you take into consideration all its special abilities. Some, particularly those more inclined toward the 3e and later approaches to class design, might not have any problems with this, but I found myself wishing the class could have been presented more simply than it was. I am also baffled by the use of seven-sided dice for Hit Dice, which strikes me as needlessly quirky.
The second part, "Sorcerers of the Wilderlands," is 10 pages long. It too was previously released as a free PDF. I very much enjoyed this section of Jam for several reasons. First, its take on "sorcery" -- dark pacts with Demon Lords -- is a good example of how I prefer the handling of such dubious activities in a RPG. This part includes lists of "petty," "lesser," and "greater" evils which a sorcerer must commit in order to enter into and/or maintain a dark pact. However, beyond noting that this or that act constitutes a "greater evil" as opposed to a "lesser evil," very little detail is given, thereby allowing each referee to expand upon it or not as they wish. Second, there's simply no question that anyone entering into a dark pact with a demon lord has committed an objectively evil act. In addition, entering into a dark pact starts a character down the road to damnation, becoming Chaotic Evil in alignment and a thrall to demonic powers from which escape is well nigh impossible. Had Carcosa shown a similar lack of ambiguity, I would have had far fewer problems with it.
The third thing I really appreciated about this part of 2008 Wilderlands Jam was its mechanical open-endedness. Although guidelines are given for the kinds of things a demon lord might grant as a result of a dark pact -- familiars, spell-like abilities, wealth, etc. -- as well as guidelines for what he asks in return, they remain just that: guidelines. The referee is free to mix and match pact requirements and benefits as he wishes, allowing him to tailor them to suit the demon lord and the character involved. This flexibility also gives wide scope for creating NPC sorcerers whose special pact-granted abilities might be quite unexpected, such as a Fighter who can cast certain spells or a Cleric with a demonic familiar.
This part also includes information on sorcerous summonings, curses, and spells. Sorcerous spells are special evil spells learned either through a dark pact or through scrolls/spell books. These spells have a chance to backfire if cast by individuals who haven't entered into a dark pact in order to learn them, with the result typically being the caster becoming the spell's target. These spells all have a wonderfully swords-and-sorcery feel to them; Mishler clearly has a knack for that style of fantasy and it comes through strongly in the text. I'll reiterate that I think he took the right tack in his presentation of the material, staying firmly on the "vague-but-suggestive" side of things. "Sorcerers of the Wilderlands" also includes two new monsters and a single new treasure.
The third part, "Monsters & Treasures of the Wilderlands I," takes up 17 pages of Jam and is identical (so far as I could tell -- if there are differences, I did not notice them) to the previously released PDF product that I reviewed here.
The fourth and final part, "Valley of the Dead Queens Preview," occupies 10 pages and is an excerpt from AGP's upcoming Southern Reaches Gazetteer. The preview describes three hexes in some detail, noting their geographical features, monster lairs, settlements, and other points of interest, tied together with a brief background detailing a fallen kingdom of priestess-queens who once rules the area. If one loves sandbox style campaigning, this part of Jam is for you. Mishler manages to cram a lot of terrific ideas into a comparatively small amount of space; it's not hard to be inspired after reading his entries. Otherwise banal locations are infused with a healthy dose of possibility, which is key to the success of sandbox play. If I have a complaint about this part of the book, it's that some of the entries are longer and more detailed than I think is necessary. The original Judges Guild products were masters of verbal economy and, while Mishler is good on this score, I think he could still stand to take a page or two more from his illustrious predcessors.
2008 Wilderlands Jam is difficult product to review. Only one-quarter of its text is actually new and that distinction won't last once the Southern Reaches Gazetteer is released. Of course, most of the material in the book is excellent. If you haven't read any of its contents already, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend buying it. Likewise, if you're like me and you prefer print products to PDF ones, it's also a worthwhile purchase. I can't deny that it's somewhat pricey, given its length and the fact that 16 of its 48 pages are available for free online already. However, I've come to accept that the market for old school material is limited and thus prices will inevitably be higher per page than on more "mainstream" RPG material. If you understand this as well, 2008 Wilderlands Jam may be just what you're looking for.

Задача - https://www.cyberforum.ru/cpp-beginners/thread2818672.html#post15439256

A: std::for_each(arr.begin(), arr.end(),

Для всех элементов arr выполняется лямбда-функция
    [&](auto& i) { i = ( i == max ?  min : ( i == min ? max : i )); } );

Каковая получает ссылку на элемент вектора, так что может его менять, что и делает:
i = ( i == max ?  min : ( i == min ? max : i ));

Если i == max - присваивает i значение min, в противном случае, если
i == min - присваивает i значение max, в противном случае не делает ничего, оставляя значение i неизменным.
Т.е. все max меняет на min и наоборот.
как это можно записать на "нормальном" языке - вот так, например:
for(auto it = arr.begin(), it != arr.end(); ++it)
    if (*it == max) *it = min;
        else if (*it == min) *it = max;
