Labyrinthian: Einstein, Imagination, and Daily Fantasy Sports
By Matthew Freedman @MattFtheOracle
Imagination: Freedman vs. Einstein
I don't know if Einstein said or wrote those words. The internet attributes that quotation to him, so it probably belongs to someone like Kurt Cobain or Roman Polanski. Maybe Benito Mussolini. I read somewhere — maybe the internet — that he once spoke highly of the power of the imagination and fine Italian footwear.
My last Labyrinthian was on truth, facts, and data. Essentially my assertion is that facts are superior to truth. Whereas truth can sometimes be idealistic, subjective, and unverifiable, facts are grounded in data. Of course this analysis is based on the simple assumption that having data is preferable to not having data.
And yet the quotation from Einstein — a guy who liked numbers — seems to suggest that truth is better than facts. To me, the problem with truth is that it often is too imaginative. It inherently can have limited regard for what's actually true. But facts appeal to me because they are more than just substantial. They are substantiated. They collectively constitute the edifice of knowledge.
So who's right? Einstein? — or Freedman?
"Divide the Living Child in Two"
I'm humble enough to cut the baby in half and say that we're both right.
In fact, I think the story of King Solomon and the baby could be illustrative. Here's the outline of the story from 1 Kings 3:16-28:
Two women live in a house together. They both give birth to baby boys. During the night, one of the babies dies, and the mother replaces the other woman's living son with her own deceased infant. In the morning, the other woman wakes up and finds that 'her' baby is dead — and then she recognizes that the baby isn't hers. She realizes that the housemate stole her child. Both women go to King Solomon's court and tell him their version of the 'truth.'
To discover the facts, Solomon imaginatively calls for a sword and orders that the baby be cut in half, with the two halves to be given to the women. The mother of the baby asks that the boy be allowed to live and given to the other woman, who in turn says that the baby should be cut in half. With this new information, Solomon determines that the woman who wants the baby to live is the mother, and she is granted custody of her son. Everyone in Solomon's kingdom appreciates the abundance of his wisdom.
In the best of worlds truth and fact — imagination and knowledge — work together and reinforce each other. Solomon used his imagination to discover an unanchored truth — that the mother would rather lose the baby than see it die — and then he used that truth to find new information (or data) with which he could establish the fact of maternity.
In my last piece, when I said that "the difference between truth and fact is that truth is the result of interpretation while fact is the outcome of verification," I didn't mean to imply that truth has no purpose. Rather, I wanted to highlight that, in a world that seemingly values truth (and often half-truth) above facts, the solidity of reality is a worthwhile comfort.
But philosophical truth is still important. It possesses the spirit of inquiry and the wonder of exploration. The quest for truth is the journey to discover whether the monsters we've seen in dreams in fact exist. Truth is the consequence of imagination.
An Etymological Consideration
I'm willing to bet a six-pack of Coors Lite that this is the first fantasy sports article to use the word 'etymological' — or at least the first one not written by Matt Waldman.
Have you ever thought about what the word 'imagination' actually means? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a.k.a. word porn digest, 'imagination' comes from Middle English via Old French.
Two quick asides:
Geoffrey Chaucer is Middle English, not Old English. If you ever have a conversation with a nerd who brings up Chaucer, you'll be prepared.
I once knew a guy getting a Ph.D. in Old French. I don't know what one does with that degree. Worst-case scenario, he could maybe write for a DFS site.
Ultimately 'imagination' comes from the Latin verb imaginari: 'To picture to oneself.'
That root is helpful. To imagine something is not 'just' to think of it or discover it. Through imagination, one transforms a thought into a mental image that can be seen and considered, an image that resembles the real.
Imagination is the process through which ideas take form, literally.
What is DFS Wisdom?
Let's return to Solomon. What made his subjects realize that he was wise was not that he discovered the truth. It was how he discovered it, the imaginative scientific method he brought to bear and the mental acuity with which he interpreted the information he collected. Solomon was wise because he knew how to leverage his imagination to create fact.
I often write about ideas outside of daily fantasy sports because it's possible that DFS wisdom resides not so much in the knowledge of particular professional sports but in the way that people use their imaginations to discover new insights.
Wisdom is less about knowledge and more about the ability to learn, which is why the most important resource on this site (arguably) is not our Player Models, Trends, or any of our other Tools but rather our Support Center, where our library of tutorial videos is housed.
In my opinion, the No. 1 mistake that most new users make is the failure to watch as many tutorial videos as possible right after they subscribe to FantasyLabs. This is the opinion of a guy who once read the instruction manual to a toaster — so it's not surprising that I believe in 'full knowledge' — but that doesn't mean this opinion is any less true.
Solomon was wise because he was willing to do anything — no matter how unorthodox it seemed — to learn. Wisdom is the desire to master a subset of knowledge and the wherewithal to do so.
The DFS Use of Imagination
Solomon used his imagination in two ways that are applicable to DFS.
Also, as an aside, I should say that perhaps I should change the title of this piece to something like "King Solomon's Wisdom and Daily Fantasy Sports," but I've already selected the photo of Einstein and I don't want to take the extra 120 seconds it would take for me to find a pictorial representation of King Solomon and switch it in, so we're stuck with Einstein. Anyway . . .
Solomon's imagination:
It led him to a contrarian tactic.
It led him to consider the valuations people make.
Without question Solomon was a contrarian. In DFS, contrarianism is essentially imagination in action. Stripped down of all the theorizing and posturing that surrounds it, contrarianism — at least in practice — might be nothing more than the willingness to let the imagination wander the oceans of possibility long enough to land on shores of foreign thought.
Contrarianism is the imagination's brainchild.
No one should be contrarian just for the fun of it, but instances always exist in which contrarianism is warranted, and it's almost impossible to be contrarian if one has not cultivated the imagination. I have thoughts on how to cultivate the imagination that I'll probably share in a future Labyrinthian. Right now it's enough to say that far too many DFS lineups fail because they lack imagination.
Let's think about how Solomon determined the truth. He did it not by asking the two women nuanced and parsing questions. Rather, he acted. He commanded. At its best, the applied imagination is not passive but active.
But most importantly Solomon discovered facts not by looking for the facts per se but by considering the way the women valued what they believed. It was proxy investigation. Solomon's inventive method sought not to discover truth in the women's testimonies but to reveal through their actions the extent to which they valued the infant.
Solomon made a judgment based on the value that the 'market of mothers' placed on the baby. Metaphorically, Solomon saw that the mother had an ownership percentage of 100 percent while the pretender had no investment. He was wise in sensing that he had a better chance of being a successful judge if he sought to determine first not the underlying facts but the way that the women acted based on their perspectives.
DFS Ownership
Solomon was considered the wisest person of his day, and he was basically Balesian in his applied approach to knowledge.
FantasyLabs co-founder Jonathan Bales has said in a number of places that, because DFS investment is easier to predict than the production of professional athletes, he prioritizes ownership when he's using our Lineup Builder to construct rosters.
DFS operates in what might be thought of as a three-dimensional space:
Inherent value
Primary market value
Secondary market value
The inherent value is the production (or 'worth') of the professional athletes in a given slate. The primary market value is represented by the salaries that DFS sites have assigned to players in a given slate.
Lots of people understand those two dimensions. It's easy to think on one plane. But that third dimension is important. It's the difference between simple geometry and astrophysics.
The secondary market value is represented by the ownership percentages — the degree of investment — of DFS players across their contests. The contrarian tactic is to focus more on the secondary market of DFS investors and less on the intrinsic worth of the underlying assets and the primary market of the DFS platforms.
We think that the doorway to the mansion of DFS success is the third dimension of participant investment, which is why we are meticulous with and proud of our ownership projections. The edge they provide is unrivaled in the industry.
People rely too much on the DFS/stock market analogy, but when day traders buy and sell stocks in a matter of seconds they're never making decisions based on the underlying worth of the companies represented by the shares. Rather, they're reacting to the market's valuations of those shares.
Focusing on ownership is an imaginative approach to DFS. It sometimes feels wrong because it calculatedly (though not actually) ignores the dynamics of the professional sports on which DFS is based. Building a strategy around ownership feels suboptimal.
And it is. Often the profitable strategy is to attempt not to be optimal.

He is the man behind Tussesntop Dollar Baby Film.
Jan van Gorkum: My name is Jan van Gorkum and I'm a filmmaker from the Netherlands. In 2010, I graduated as a filmmaker from the Utrecht Academy of the Arts (HKU). Since then, I've written and directed several short films and I've also worked as an editor and assistant editor on films and tv-shows.
Jan van Gorkum: From a very young age. I've always loved movies and made short films with friends as a kid. So it's something I've always wanted to become.
SKSM: When did you make Tussenstop? Can you tell me a little about the production? How much did it cost? How long did it take to film it?
Jan van Gorkum: I started working on Tussenstop around the second half of 2010 and the movie was finished in June 2011. So it took almost a year of work. Most of the work was organizing everything. The film was made very low-budget, so I had to find a lot of sponsors and crewmembers who were willing to work for free. A lot of equipment was sponsored, from camera equipment to locations. Getting all of that in place, takes a lot of time and work. We shot the film in 4 days, including one night shoot for all of the exterior scenes and highway scenes. All the interior scenes were shot during daytime.
Jan van Gorkum: In 2010 I read Just After Sunset, the book of which Rest Stop is a part. I really liked the struggle of the main character, about whether or not he should intervene and help a woman in distress. It's a very primal story: fight or flight. From a financial point of view as a filmmaker, it's also one of the more manageable stories that you can turn into a film without a lot of money.
I also tried to make the story a bit of my own, when I was writing the screenplay. So it's a bit of a loose adaptation. In the original story, I didn't like the whole thing about the main character having an alter ego, which is something that is not in my film. For me, the story was about someone who struggles a long time before he decides to intervene and then things don't go as smoothly as he had hoped for. I tried to keep the story a bit more basic and grounded in a way.
Jan van Gorkum: I think I discovered it online, on a movie website that published an article about movie adaptations of Stephen King's work. After I had read Rest Stop, I checked the website of Stephen King and saw the list with short stories of which the rights were available. Rest Stop was one of the available stories and then I decided to buy the rights and make a Dutch film based on the story.
Jan van Gorkum: There's always something goofy or funny that happens during a film production. One moment that stands out for me, took place during the night shoot. We were driving on a highway for some of the interior car shots. Yorick Zwart, who played the main character John, was driving his own car for real and I was in the back with the director of photography. So we were driving on this old and desolate highway near the Belgium border, and we suddenly noticed it was really dark outside. There were no streetlights, no nothing. It was pitch black. Yorick slowed down the car and we started to talk about what could be wrong. It took a short moment before we all realized that the headlights of the car had stopped working. And we were driving there in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, the high beam lights of the car still worked and we drove to a gas station to buy some new regular car lights. We were there right on time, just before the shop closed.
Jan van Gorkum: Personally, I hope the Dollar Baby policy changes in the future, so that the film can be available online for free. The film had a great festival run in 2011 and 2012, but after that, you can't really show the film anywhere, apart from film festivals. And to be available online, is very important for short films in the long run. It's a bit frustrating, because as a filmmaker, you put a lot of time and work in a project and you want the film to be available to a large audience. And it's an independent film, not a commercial film. So I really hope the policy changes, but that's out of my hands unfortunately.
Jan van Gorkum: Overall, I have received a lot of positive feedback. People seem to enjoy the film and they like the suspense. But of course, there are also people who don't like it or that have issues with some parts of it. I think some of the stuff concerning the argument the troubled couple has in the film, is a bit long and gives too much exposition. And the fight scene between the main characters could have been a bit more visceral. Looking back on the film, that are things that I would do differently now. But I'm still happy with the film. Every film you make is a learning experience, and I learned a lot during the making of this film.
Jan van Gorkum: I have no plans for the film at this time. The film had its festival run back in 2011 and 2012, so there aren't any screenings planned in the near future.
Jan van Gorkum: Yes, I'm a fan of his work. Stephen King is an amazing storyteller and I really enjoy reading his work. I don't have all of his work, but I do have a lot of books and films. My favorite books are The Dark Tower saga, It and Different Seasons. Some of my favorite adaptations are Stand By Me, directed by Rob Reiner, and The Mist, directed by Frank Darabont.
Jan van Gorkum: Unfortunately, I did not have any personal contact with Stephen King during the making of the film. I did send a copy of the film to his office back in 2011, but sadly haven't heard anything. I do hope he has seen the film.
Jan van Gorkum: No, I don't have any plans to make more films based on short stories by Stephen King. It was really fun to make an adaptation, but I enjoy writing my own stories for my films a bit more.
Jan van Gorkum: I'm working on my first feature film called The Cleaner, a combination of dark comedy and horror, which is currently in development. Last year the project was presented at Frontières, an international co-production market in Canada, where it received a lot of great buzz. I'm still working on the screenplay for that film.
Jan van Gorkum: Maybe that I'm an avid collector of action figures based on films.
Jan van Gorkum: You're welcome. I hope the readers find it interesting.
Jan van Gorkum: Thank you for the interview. And I hope that one day more people get the chance to watch Tussenstop.
A BIG THANKS to Danny Paap for making it possible!!!


This guy actually convinced his insurance to cover his medical marijuana bill, and you have to hear his story!
If medical marijuana can treat so many conditions, and at a far lower cost than many pharmaceuticals, why isn't it being covered by more insurances? Well, this man actually convinced his insurance to cover the cost of his medical marijuana bill, and you have to hear his story!
Now he is a successful student at the University of Waterloo, but his academic career, and his life, haven't always been so focused. Jonathan suffers from a medical condition called new daily persistent headaches. Due to the medical problem, he was forced to drop out of school in 8th grade and complete his high school education at home. The constant pain left him with "zero quality of life". After years of suffering, and 48 different medications with no success, he finally tried medical cannabis.
When he first turned to medical marijuana, it was an extraordinary relief, and the headaches went away, at least until he tried to deal with his medical insurance.
Initially, he was turned down, but having found a cure for his suffering, Jonathan refused to go back to a medicine cabinet stocked with pills that were useless for his condition. His insurer said that because medical marijuana lacked a drug identification number and wasn't a fully approved drug in Canada, they wouldn't cover the cost.
Instead of giving in, Jonathan turned to the student union who administers the student health plan he is on. It took 8 months of back and forth discussion, but, finally, he had success.
The entire case revolves around technicalities. Health Canada doesn't endorse medical marijuana , and the Canadian Medical Association says there isn't evidence to support its use. Why then should it be covered by insurance? Jonathan boiled it down to the fact that physicians can prescribe it. If the doctor weighs the factors the risks versus the benefits and prescribes it for the patient, then it should be allowed.
Jonathan Zaid hasn't stopped with fixing his own problems. Now he is the executive director of the group Canadians for Fair Access to Medical Marijuana, which is "dedicated to protecting and improving the rights of medical cannabis patients", and strives to help others in similar situations.
His group is partnered with licensed producers, such as Aphria, to lobby for access on behalf of patients who are often too ill to fight for themselves.
Do you think insurance companies should cover the cost of medical cannabis? Wouldn't it be in their best interest to support a less expensive and more effective treatment for patients? Share your thoughts on social media or in the comments below.

But it goes beyond simply satisfying the durability needs of a bunk bed in an average kids room. It also features mission-style construction that looks just as good as it is durable. The dark and warm antique walnut wood stain is versatile enough to harmonize aesthetically with just about any room, but is designed to be durable enough to withstand years of spills and scrapes without peeling off.
Bunk beds are fantastic way to save space in your kids room, and if you want to fully capitalize on that feature, you can also purchase the optional drawers or trundle bed. The drawers can fit small objects that might otherwise lie around on your children's floor, and easily glide in and out of the bottom of the bed. If you choose to add on the trundle bed instead, you will get a convenient third bed that smoothly slides out whenever your children have a guest over and slides back in your bunk bed without taking up any valuable space.


Balance is a tricky thing to get right. If a game is too easy, players feel like they hit a loot piñata. If a game is too hard, fun gives way to frustration. The initial release of the Rumble Run, the single player adventure in Hearthstone's Rastakhan's Rumble expansion, fell too far to the frustration end of the spectrum.
To rectify this, the Hearthstone development team has given the latest adventure a facelift. They tweaked card options, boss difficulty, and gave you a little more choice with shrines. These are all problems the adventure has had since release, and fixing them could make the Rumble Run worth playing.
We've increased the possibility of synergistic cards for your shrine appearing more often.
Building a deck which synergies with your shrine is the key to beating the Rumble Run, but with so many shrines available your chance of getting the right cards weren't good. Many times you'd get card choices with no synergism at all. With this change, it should be easier to build a solid deck to support your shrine.
It's still far from perfect. After the changes, I tried a run with Jan'alai's Flame, a Mage shrine which makes your Hero power cost zero and refreshes it if you kill a minion with it. But I still had times where none of the three card buckets offered would help my Hero power. I usually saw fire spells or spell damage to work with the base cards in the deck.
And Champions — special class-based minions — proved the bigger problem. At certain points in your rumble, you're given a choice of three different champions to add to your deck. Each are tailored to support a different shrine, but you won't always see one which supports your shrine. I went through several runs with Jan'alai's Flame without ever seeing the option to draft the Fan of Flames Champion, which would have upgraded my hero power damage. That would have made it easier to take out my opponent's shrine and kill minions — which would refresh my Hero so I could kill more minions and activate my inspire cards. It also would have given me a good tempo play on turn 1, because I would have an upgraded hero power which could immediately pressure the enemy shrine.
Sure, while getting all of those cards would have been overpowered, not getting any of them meant I didn't have a deck that supported my shrine.
One of our design goals with the Rumble Run was to provide huge, overpowered combat. Balancing at such a high power level is a challenge. When it works, it works great. You get epic, monumental combat against overwhelming odds. But when it doesn't work, it feels random and swingy – like when the AI pulls an overwhelming combo.
I'm convinced someone on the Hearthstone team loves combo decks. When you draw the perfect combination of cards, combo decks can provide moments of great fun, as long as you're the one pulling off the combo. When you're on the receiving end, you feel powerless and disheartened.
It takes time to progress through all of Rumble Run's bosses, and a single defeat sends you all the way to the beginning. These huge swings made the mode tiring and discouraging. Here again, the Rumble Run is improved, but some bosses retain powerful combos which still feel "random and swingy." Hooktusk (Rogue) and Zentimo (Shaman) both proved problematic during my runs.
The random drafting is still in place, but this does give you a way to target a particular shrine. My goal was to get Jan'alai's Flame. Once I got matched up against Hex Lord Malacrass, I checked the shrine. When I saw it was Jan'alai's Flame, I lost the match on purpose. Next time I started the Rumble Run, Jan'alai's Flame was available to draft, and it remained each time I lost with it. This let me play through the Rumble over and over with it. Combined with the improved card buckets, I could build more consistent decks every run. If gave me a chance to try strategies, learn from mistakes and apply those lessons to the next run.
Once I got lucky enough to draft a Fan of Flames, I defeated the Rumble Run, and earned the card back. The nerfs bring Rumble Run closer to the difficulty curve of Monster Hunts and still a step up from Dungeon Runs. It's better, but there's still a large RNG component, especially with the Champions. But now that the difficulty has been decreased a little, I'll see if I can beat it on a couple of classes.
Remember, your own card collection doesn't matter for this mode — all the cards are provided, which makes this a fun mode players without huge card collections. Jump in there and give it a shot.

Martin Fleig: My best moments
The German biathlete and cross-country skier is gearing up to create more moments at his home World Championships this February. 23 Sep 2016
Ⓒwww.photo-hartmann.de
By By Louise Woods | For the IPC
"What a great feeling to be in the last few metres and to know that you will be on the podium this time!"
Martin Fleig is Germany's top male biathlete and cross-country sit skier.
After making his senior debut at the IPC Cross-Country Skiing and Biathlon World Cup in 2006 he has already achieved a lot. This means that the 26-year-old has accumulated some great highlights in his career so far but also hopes he can add to them in the coming years.
World ranked ninth in cross-country and third in biathlon, Fleig is hoping that the valuable experience he has gained over the past few seasons will help him to be successful in both his home World Championships in Finsterau in 2017 and of course the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Games.
Here are his best moments.
1. My Paralympic debut
Definitely my biggest experience so far was my first Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014. Even if I was not able to win a medal it was such an amazing event and I will never forget that.
2. My first World Cup victory
Achieving something for the first time is always something that will be very memorable and it's no different for Fleig. Seeing all your hard work and sacrifice finally pay of is a great moment for any sportsperson. That moment came for Fleig on last season's World Cup in Surnadal, Norway.
"In Season 2014/2015 I won my first world cup biathlon race. It was the 15km individual distance. I remember in the last few metres of that race, I thought I am going to die! All my teammates were out on the track to cheer me. That was a very special, amazing feeling and I remember it very often."
3. My first World Championship medal
Winning your first ever race is really special but so is winning a medal for the first time in a major championship. For Fleig the 2015 IPC Cross-Country Skiing and Biathlon World Championships in Cable, USA will always be an emotional highlight in his career. He won his first medal in the biathlon 12.5km individual sitting when he finished third.
"What a great feeling to be in the last few metres and to know that you will be on the podium this time! It was almost a perfect race because at the shooting range I did not miss any targets. I remember on my last lap trainers from other teams were screaming - you are going to be the bronze medallist today! That was just amazing for me to know that people from other nations were cheering for me. As I crossed the finish line I lifted up my arms and I screamed out loud all the pain from the race. After that I just cried for a few moments and our team physiotherapist, Alexandra Schade, met me right after I crossed the finish line and embraced me."
Fleig will be amongst the athletes competing at the Finsterau 2017 IPC Cross-Country and Biathlon World Championships between 10-19 February.

Health CareTechnologyLatest TechWHOCOVID 19
The next societal determinant of health is technology
We've known for a long time that medical care alone does not equal better health, it needs ample support and research to show results. Read more:
According to current research from the National Library of Medicine, medical care accounts for 10 to 20% of the modifiable factors to population health outcomes. Social determinants of health account for the vast majority of the contributors (80 to 90 percent) (SDoH). According to WHO, the distribution of money, power, and resources at the global, national, and local levels shapes these aspects, including access to transportation and food security.
We also know that having access to technology and reliable information is crucial to making healthy decisions and, more recently, accessing care, and that it should be recognised as such. During the epidemic, concerns connected to technology — from access to trust — are likely to have had a life-changing impact on communities across the country, particularly among seniors and minorities.
This technological divide isn't a "future challenge": it's widening on a daily basis and requires equal parts empathy and urgency to close.
Close your eyes and imagine an elderly relative who isn't tech savvy. Consider how they'd feel if they needed urgent care and you weren't available, and someone they didn't know was calling to tell them to "jump on a Zoom call with the on-call physician." They'd probably be frustrated, intimidated, or even enraged.
Navigating our technology-dependent health systems can be scary and burdensome for seniors without a family advocate. Our seniors may feel lonely, disregarded, misunderstood, and, in many cases, disenfranchised in how to effectively manage their own care when communicating through digital platforms.
There are two growing reasons for us to feel more compelled to act.
First and foremost, we have a significant backlog. Covid-19 has resulted in an extraordinary backlog of postponed operations and treatments, which now take precedence over routine check-ups and follow-up appointments. For example, a young mother's postponed breast cancer surgery is likely to take precedence over an older patient's oncologist follow-up visit. Delayed treatment has a cascading effect on everyone, especially elderly, who require more monitoring and care even when they are healthy. Digital health may be a powerful weapon in the armoury of our nation's providers, who are working overtime to catch up, but only if they use it correctly.
Second, the supply and demand for specialists are inverted. We simply lack the manpower to meet with everyone individually. The number of people over the age of 65 in the United States is at an all-time high. This population increased by 73 percent from 41 million in 2011 to 71 million in 2019.
So, what are our options? I propose that solutions that go beyond an internet connection and a screen include four priorities.
Empathize is the first priority.
To close the technology divide, elders must be placed at the centre of care. The individual journey, like UX and UI design, must begin from the standpoint of the senior. The journey must be free of assumptions and reflect the emotional and physical difficulties that some elders face in seeking and receiving care.
Priority 2: Prepare
To overcome their fear of technology, seniors must be provided with tools, training, and access. It entails pushing for extra benefits that make iPads, cellphones, and other connected devices more affordable while also providing the gear and training that seniors require to become self-sufficient and confident users.
Priority 3: Educate
At the core of any solution should be reliable information and education. It is vital to take the time to assess and give data-based information that assists elders in navigating their care.
Empowerment is the fourth priority
The final, but crucial, stage is to empower both seniors and their caregivers. This includes giving caregivers and care teams with meaningful health data that allows them to notice trends, make real-time care decisions that improve outcomes every day, and even predict the need for health treatments.

Dublin.... nice and verdant, but with enough buzz to make even the most urbane visitor feel good, this is the biggest Irish metropolis, and it is also the capitol. First the Vikings found it, followed by the Normans, and everyone who has been since then has tried to own it and is struggling against the natives and the non-natives for a way to govern this unique empire.
First of all listen to the offers - click here and visit my Mini Cruise Addict page on Facebook (opens in a new window). Dublin is home to everyone in a new and interesting environment, from palaces to streams, from renowned pubs to renowned beer houses, from hills to farms and even beach.
Take a hop-on hop-off sight-seeing coach trip through Dublin to see many of the major attractions. Team up with a Dublin Broadway to find the liveliest nightclubs in town. Dublin, the Green Island metropolis, is an eye-opener for those who have never been to Dublin before.
Use your Dublin holiday and join in. Since 1204 AD, Dublin Palace has never been out of operation, making it one of the few squatted palaces in the whole wide globe that is still in bloom. If you want to be shown the palace by an expert guidebook or decide for the "Do it yourself" trip, in this one place there are enough tales to satisfy even the most passionate lover of historical events.
In Dublin Castle it is also possible to go to the State Apartments, the Undercroft, the Chapel Royal, the Chester Beatty Library and even a dinner in the Chester Beatty Library and a souvenir store. Guinness Storehouse in St. James's Gate is a small part of Ireland's beautiful legacy that has been put together for a sampling trip and amusementfair.

The Glasnevin Cemetery Museum may not be the funniest of all excursions, but it is still a captivating and eye-opening museum.
Within the area of the Musée there are three areas to visit: the City of the Dead, the Prospect Gallery and the Milestone Gallery. From the Prospect Gallery you have a magnificent look at the Glasnevin cemetery; it is a breathtaking example of how good it can be to die. A must-see on your journey to Dublin is the National Musuem of Ireland.
There is a lot of information between these wall, from animal to killing, from clothes to archeology. This archaeological section is the place where all the historic finds are sent to in Ireland and there are currently over two million artifacts. Dublin Museum is divided into four different museums, so you can either see all four in one go or view them individually.
Even if you've been here before, you can still see other great sights. While in Dublin, a stop at the arena is worthwhile for one of the illuminating trips - in this hands-on experience you can refresh your sports skills and celebrities.
Stay where the legend was, stay where the supporters were, and see everything from an insider's view. There' s also a great sports interactivity exhibition on display such as hoorling and Gaulish soccer; try your hands (or feet) on these and more, no matter you are! National Botanical Garden is just outside the town center, but it is a good idea to go a little further away (and easy to get there by local transportation).
A number of sculpture have been created around Dublin, and each one is well known. As you stroll through the town you should discover Oscar Wilde, Molly Malone ('the cake with the car'), Mr Screen, Phil Lynott, James Joyce, the meeting place women and Anna Livia ('the tramp in the jacuzzi'!)!
Gotham Café is relaxed and welcoming and serves breakfasts, lunches and (or) dinners - no matter what season of the year. Culinary delights (including the best chosen pizzas in Ireland in 2011) are prepared fresh on the spot and the local cuisine.
For over 50 years, Trocadero has inspired Dublin's guests, and today it is as good as ever. So, you want to take a little rest with your mom and dad and think about going to Dublin. There' s enough in this historical and vibrant town to make the youngest in your celebration as cheerful as the elders, and whether you decide to spend a long week-end in town or just on a trip through Ireland, you should be able to find enough space to make some very lucky reminiscences.
There is a lot to do: the animal park, the palace, the shops, the theater, the artists, the sciences, the history, the architectural design, the general atmoshere? It is all thrilling and memory. The city of Dublin is made for the family and is definitely a good place to be. When you want the crowd then the best season to attend is summers.
There is good meteorological conditions (although it can still be raining, no matter what the season ) and there are many festivities in the area. The Dublin harbour is particularly developed and limited by rail cargo stations and chemicals storage facilities, but do not be fooled by this. It is only a few kilometers from the center of town, about 6 kilometers by car.
The Dublin Airport (DUB) is located in the northern part of the town and is about 13 km away from the Dublin harbour. Point is the nearest stop to Dublin Harbour, but it is still about 4 km from the school. In Dublin, the euro is the common denominator.

Bannkreis war eine 2017 gegründete Band aus Potsdam. Vier der fünf Gründungsmitglieder waren zum Gründungszeitpunkt zugleich Mitglieder der kommerziell erfolgreichen Folk-Metal-Band Subway to Sally. Die Band widmet sich einem akustischen Stil mit starken Folk-Einflüssen, wie ihn Subway to Sally hauptsächlich in der zweiten Hälfte der 1990er Jahre betrieb. In dieser Zeit veröffentlichte Subway to Sally auch ein Album namens Bannkreis.

Geschichte
Die blinde Multiinstrumentalistin Johanna Krins und der Subway-to-Sally-Frontmann Eric Fish lernten sich 2012 auf einem Konzert kennen und begannen bald darauf, miteinander zu musizieren. Fishs Bandmitglieder stießen im Laufe der Zeit hinzu. Bodenski schreibt einen Großteil der Texte.

Die erste kommerzielle Veröffentlichung war im Oktober 2017: Im Auge des Sturms, das vierte Studioalbum der Schlager-Band Santiano, beinhaltete das Bannkreis-Feature Doch ich weiß es. Das Album errang Platz eins der deutschen Charts.

Die ersten Auftritte bei Festivals fanden im Sommer 2018 statt, zunächst auf der Kieler Woche und dann auf dem Wacken Open Air.

Die erste Single, Lebewohl, wurde am 9. Februar 2018 mit einem Musikvideo veröffentlicht und stand als Download und für Streaming-Dienste bereit. Das Debütalbum Sakrament erschien am 16. März 2018. Die dazugehörige Deutschland-Tour wurde aufgrund von schlechten Vorverkaufszahlen abgesagt.

Am 28. Oktober 2019 gab die Band über Facebook die Auflösung bekannt.

Tom Coster is an American keyboardist and composer.
Coster has played with and composed for many groups and amazing musicians including Carlos Santana, Billy Cobham, Stu Hamm, Joe Satriani, Frank Gambale and Vital Information.
Some of Coster's best known compositions include Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile), Flor D'Luna (Moonflower) and Dance, Sister, Dance (Baila Mi Hermana) performed by Santana, and The Perfect Date performed by Vital Information.
His solo music has always been thought of as being "too smooth", like some kind of "elevator music", which I think is a fair comment, but I also think it's pretty nice to listen to. It is smooth but has a lot of quality and some soft complexity. If you ask me, I prefer his more "fusionized" side like the one he creates with Vital Information or with Alex Gomez band.

Home Football Zidane says there will be changes in the summer
Zidane says there will be changes in the summer
Neelabhra Roy
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has said that the club will make some changes during the summer. Los Blancos have had a forgettable season so far by their standards. The only trophy they have won this season is the FIFA Club World Cup. They are already out of the Copa del Rey and are 14 points behind leaders Barcelona in the La Liga table. The Champions League was a massive disappointment for Real as they were eliminated in the last 16 by Ajax who thrashed them 4-1 at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid even lost to CSKA Moscow twice during the group stages.
Zidane said that the club might sell some players in order to gain funds. Speaking of Real Madrid's summer plans, Zidane said, "All my players are important and good, but we are going to make changes. Here there are many players that can bring in cash for the club. The changes will be made known at the end of the season. We will see what changes we make and which players we will change."
Real Madrid have been linked to several top players in several reports lately. Eden Hazard is the player Real are frequently linked to for a long time now. The likes of Paul Pogba and Sadio Mane have also been linked to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have already signed Porto defender Eder Militao for £50 million. Militato will join the club next season. Real Madrid's next game is against Leganes on Monday.

Russell Brand now in New Zealand visa doubt
- Posted in New Zealand by Dominicon 14 September 2012
Comedian Russell Brand
could be prevented from
entering New Zealand.
Comedian Russell Brand has become the latest celebrity to face uncertainty over whether he will be granted a New Zealand visa due to past criminal convictions.
Brand is supposed to be performing a one off show at Auckland's Vector Arena in November but due to past drug convictions, doubts have been raised as to whether he will receive a New Zealand visa.
The controversial comedian had a much publicised battle with drug addiction in his early rise to fame but has since advocated the use of abstinence-led drug rehabilitation program as a combatant to drug and alcohol dependencies.
Brand has appeared on several TV and radio programs detailing his struggle with substance abuse and even addressed Parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee on the topic earlier this year.
However, during his own time as a self confessed addict, Brand was arrested several times and it is these convictions that have hindered his travel arrangements in the past.
Brand was deported from Japan last year for the same reason when he tried to visit his then-wife Katy Perry during her international tour.
And while British citizens typically do not require a visa to enter New Zealand, Brand's history could jeopardise his performance.
"Russell Brand will have to apply for a visa to enter New Zealand and make full disclosure of his previous convictions," said an Immigration New Zealand (INZ) spokesperson.
"There is never a guarantee that any visa application will be approved."
Brand follows hot on the heels of former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson who also faces the prospect of cancelling an already scheduled performance in New Zealand. Tyson's 1991 conviction for rape has threatened the former prize-fighter's trip.
A decision on both cases is still to be made.

TOM BRADY & AARON RODGERS – NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL SHOWDOWN
Primed for Primetime – Brady and Rodgers Rank among Most Prolific QBs in Primetime Since 2008
"When you start talking about who is not just the greatest at this time, but potentially the greatest of all time, and you have two of the guys in that conversation, that makes for a special night of football." – Cris Collinsworth
"We've been waiting all season. This is about as exciting as it gets on a Sunday night." – Al Michaels
"This is quarterback mastery." – Fred Gaudelli
STAMFORD, Conn. – Nov. 1, 2018 – Tom Brady and the AFC East-leading New England Patriots host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in an eagerly-anticipated matchup this weekend on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Coverage begins with Football Night in America at 7 p.m. ET on NBC, followed by a new, earlier SNF kickoff time of 8:20 p.m. ET, from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
Sunday night marks only the second time Brady and Rodgers will face off as starting quarterbacks, and the first time since 2014, when they combined for 613 passing yards and four touchdowns in a 26-21 Green Bay victory at Lambeau Field. Between them, Brady and Rodgers boast 19 Pro Bowl selections, five NFL MVP awards, nine Super Bowl appearances, and six Super Bowl rings.
As expected, Brady and Rodgers have also delivered in primetime. Following is a look at the NFL's winningest quarterbacks in all primetime games since Rodgers became the Packers' starter in 2008 (minimum 35 starts):
Quarterback W-L Win %
Yards/Gm
TD Passes Rating
Tom Brady 31-11 .738 295.6 89 102.0
Ben Roethlisberger 32-14 .696 279.2 81 96.4
Drew Brees 25-14 .641 313.4 96 109.0
Aaron Rodgers 26-16 .619 268.0 92 104.4
On a Wednesday conference call, Sunday Night Football's on-air team of Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Michele Tafoya, and executive producer Fred Gaudelli previewed the matchup. Following are excerpts from the call:
Cris Collinsworth on GOAT debate:
I bet if I added them up, this argument — the Aaron Rodgers versus Tom Brady argument — is starting to draw equal with the Tom Brady-Peyton Manning argument that took place over time. And this one is so unique because of the physical skills of Aaron, and, of course, Aaron is coming into this with a limited physical ability because of the knee and how that plays into this game at this point.
At every level, in every sport, when you start talking about who is not just the greatest at this time, but potentially the greatest of all time, and you have two of the guys in that conversation, that makes for a special night of football.
Al Michaels on anticipating the Brady-Rodgers matchup:
We talked during the offseason, knowing this was a game that could pop. You know your schedule for the following year. We're covering games that [we say], 'Boy, we've got to get to those games.'
I think of the song with the lyrics 'waiting all day for Sunday night.' It's that this Sunday night. We've been waiting all season for it… This is about as exciting as it gets on a Sunday night. I can't wait to get there.
Michele Tafoya on what she expects on Sunday night:
These quarterbacks are similar, yet distinct from one another. I think similar just in the level of confidence. They're cool on the field. This game is going to be chock-full of a lot of action on the field, and it's probably going to be a tight game.
Fred Gaudelli on covering the game:
This is quarterback mastery — quarterback play at the very highest level. While you know they can throw it, and in Rodgers' case really throw it on the run and extend plays, there's so much more that these guys do that can be brought out into this telecast, and just try to work around that word, mastery.
Having spoken to both guys already this season — and Tom twice — they really dig deep to find the very smallest of edges to improve themselves.

"TOC' was created with two main aspects in mind: easy use with a clean and simple design.It works with a linear tracking system to capture the good old analog sound and of course allows for easy operation via remote control – but also via LED touch buttons on the front panel. Users can easily skip between tracks, thanks to a sensor that scans the tracks on each vinyl inserted.
Built with special spherical bearings, even warped records can now be played without any problem. 'TOC' is also comes with a built-in carbon fibers brush that captures dust thus stylus stays clean.Besides enjoying the sound of the record playing and the viewing of the spinning record, it becomes an interesting conversation piece and unique accessory to any home. Its front panel is made from CNC-cut walnut wood and is a great addition to any room in the home. Even when a record isn't playing, the 'TOC' vertical record player can stand alone as an interesting piece of creative design.The inspiration for the design of 'TOC' was drawn from the dinosaurs who roamed the Earth in the Mesozoic era. This era divided for three periods; The Triassic period ("T") and the Cretaceous period ("C") which represents the beginning and the end of the Mesozoic era and the Jurassic period which was the most prolific period for the dinosaurs. This period is represented with the letter "O" and the 'TOC' shape, which is symbolizes the amniotic egg. 'TOC' uses standard stylus to capture analog sound. It's located inside a cartridge along with a sensor and carbon fibers brush.The cartridge travel on the record's radius till its reach to the desired point, then the stylus automatically pops up to touch the record with a preset pressure which is not changeable.'TOC' uses its own stylus and it comes calibrated so the pressure adjustment not needed.

Happy Valentine's Day, Lost and True Blood fans!
To celebrate, we're spending a little heart-to-heart time with a couple you might not even know are married in real life: Michael Emerson (Benjamin Linus on Lost) and Carrie Preston (redheaded waitress and serial killer bride Arlene on True Blood). They had me over to their brand-new L.A. house for chocolate and cookies and scoop…my three favorite things!
Plus, because it's the day of love, I'm bringing you scoop on the rest of your favorite TV couples, including Gossip Girl, Chuck, How I Met Your Mother, Fringe, The Office and Brothers & Sisters.
Also, we need to clear something up! When I called Lost's Benjamin Linus a "conniving son of a Michael Emerson's wife in real life" in the most recent Lost Redux, I was not trying to call his lovely wife Carrie Preston any sort of bad name. Carrie actually played Ben's mother on Lost, see, so that's what this crazy, hormone-riddled noggin' was trying to say.
In fact, you should know, Carrie and Michael are just about the sweetest people you could meetΓÇöand he is decidedly nothing like Ben/Henry in real life! Not only did he and Carrie send me a sweet baby gift after the interview (seriously, who does that?), I just spotted him yesterday walking toward his house with a pretty bouquet of flowers.
And you ladies thought Jack and Sawyer were Lost's greatest catches. Pshaw.

What does a Copper Repipe cost in Los Banos?
People who have out of date galvanized water pipes or are experiencing long-term issues with your plumbing, such as very low water pressure, unclean water from pipe deterioration, wall structure and slab leaks perhaps even scalding issues, it's important to upgrade the full system. This replacement is identified as repiping. If it is done right, there won't be any further water leaks, no scalding water difficulties, no more unsafe water or any other problem. If it's performed wrong, the levels of damages that may arise is enormous, and the cost for further repairs could be limitless. And so the very first rule of thumb in repiping is to use a Repipe Specialist!
The price of repiping your house in Los Banos, CA is dependent on a variety of factors – the size of the structure, the length of the mainline, as well as amount of bathrooms and fittings, to name a few. Generally, general contractors or plumbing companies bill you about $13,000-$14,000 for a single household! That's because they just don't specialize and will not understand the safest and most efficient approaches to surgically opening the wall surfaces and swap out plumbing. They usually just rip walls apart to get at what they need. However, when you'd like to reduce the amount of destruction and repair – and therefore reduce the total cost (plus the price of your peace of mind!) it is important to first recieve an estimate from Repipe Specialists! PEX and Copper Repiping is all they do!
What Does Copper Repiping Cost in Los Banos?
At Repipe Specialists, many procedures often cost fifty percent of a neighborhood plumber's price quote – in Los Banos it's safe to figure approximately $3,500 for a two bedroom, one bath house, and up to $9,000 for a much larger, more complex job. A crucial thing to keep in mind would be that Repipe Specialists price includes thorough wall patching, repair and painting as soon as they are completed! You won't be required to employ a collaboration of trades-people when hiring Repipe Specialists. They do the whole thing, in most cases in just one day! The purpose would be to get it completed efficiently and quickly, as if they were never there.
For more than twenty years, they've done nothing but repipe houses throughout the Country. Their skilled engineers are authorities at exchanging old, rusty and broken plumbing systems with higher quality copper and PEX pipe and accessories. They will not employ day laborers, buy inferior parts or cut corners. They do it right to begin with, and won't leave your house until you are completely satisfied. That's the reason why Repipe Specialists is still the highest possible rated copper repipe service provider in The state of California! They have serviced over 30,000 households and counting – coming from excited, ecstatic clients!

President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to put pressure on General Motors CEO Mary Barra, demanding she "do something quickly" about the assembly plants GM intends to close in the near future. Trump said. "I want jobs to stay in the United States of America and want Lordstown (Ohio), in one of the best economies in our history, opened or sold to a company who will open it up fast!"
Trump also tweeted on Saturday to urge GM to reopen the plant, saying: "Toyota is investing 13.5 $Billion in USA, others likewise. G.M".
Trump capped his weekend of ranting with a tweet disclosing that he had vented his frustrations during a conversation with General Motors CEO Mary Barra.
Trump later said he had spoken to Barra, adding that he is, "not happy that it is closed", despite other companies, like Toyota, adding jobs in the U.S. I asked her to sell it or do something quickly. "Stop complaining and get the job done!"
Trump on Monday tweeted that GM, the fourth biggest automaker in the world, and the UAW are opening negotiations on a new contract in September and October.
Reopening Lordstown to manufacture another model is not something possible on a whim; Lordstown was retooled in 2012 specially to produce the Cruze, and retooling the plant again for another model would require an investment of tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars-cash GM is setting aside to keep itself technologically up-to-date. The automaker said that they had "opportunities available for virtually all impacted employees". "Come on down and have a look".
However, on appeal, a division bench of the High Court had restored the BCCI ban, leading to the current appeal in Supreme Court . Sreesanth will get the opportunity of being heard by the committee on the quantum of the punishment, the court said.
In his latest tweet, Trump said he reiterated to Barra that GM should do something quickly, including potentially selling the plant. "And he thinks that the economy is doing so well?"
The plants affected include Lordstown in Warren, Ohio that makes the Chevrolet Cruise, the Detroit-Hamtramck Operations in Detroit, Michigan that makes the Buick Lacrosse, the Chevrolet Volt, Chevrolet Impala and the Cadillac CT6.
Annual sales of the Cruze in North America peaked at 273,000 in 2014, but previous year totaled just 142,000, as Americans are buying fewer passenger cars and instead opting to purchase bigger sport utility vehicles or pickup trucks. The plant produced Chevy Cruze vehicles. The cuts come as the automaker enjoyed a near-record $12 billion profit a year ago. At the time that GM announced that it was cutting plants in January, Lordstown was only using about one-third of its production, according to researcher LMC Automotive.
Even as it closed the Lordstown plant, GM is continuing to manufacture the Cruze model in Mexico, Argentina and China, where the wages it pays workers are substantially less than the wages it was paying the Lordstown employees. In the following month, Barra said in meetings with OH lawmakers that the future of the factory can turn on the outcome of labor talks. In a statement at the time, GM cited "changing customer preferences in the U.S." when announcing the layoffs.
"The President's comments about the UAW are disgraceful".
