"Death of a Player" is a success!! I'm so proud to have participated in this production. We just finished our last show on Saturday and our show got to the top #1 spot at Bindlestiff Studio for ticket sales on Brown Paper Tickets! So ecstatic about that! This was one of the best productions I had ever participated in. We received some great writeups & reviews and I had a blast working with all the people involved. We all collectively had one goal: to make it great. We all wanted the show to succeed and that we did!
It hasn't really hit me yet that I won't be seeing these beautiful faces all together again this week. It hasn't really hit me yet that this production has concluded. It hasn't really hit me yet that the show has run its course and will not be reprising itself, at least not in the near future. I think the reason is because while the project was indeed new, the faces were not. The friendships were not. The creative juices were not. I know I will be seeing some of these faces again soon. I know our friendships were real and the production only added to the solidarity of its foundation. And I know the way we flow together will resurface again in another time & another project. The BEST part about working on this project was that it was just like we were playing with our friends, like you do during your childhood.
The producer, Maggie Suarez-Calixton, told us that someone from the SF Examiner came to see the show last Friday and his opinion was that he wanted to nominate us for best theater production! Regardless of whether or not it happens, that was truly an amazing compliment to hear. We went through so much mud to get to clean & dry lands and it was worth it in the end. I got to return to Bindlestiff Studio in a big way, wearing two hats as a writer & an actress.
Now that the show is finally over, I can finally release my monologue. Sigh…what a relief to have had the opportunity to release my angst. Thank you PMSTA!
Congrats =D You did a great job!.

Australian UFC star Tai Tuivasa has labelled controversial Wallaby Israel Folau a hypocrite, followiing the uproar over his offensive posts.
He has previously played professional rugby league and Australian rules football. He is currently embroiled in a scandal with Rugby Australia over social media posts In 2011, Folau joined the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the Australian Football League ( AFL ) and played for two seasons.
One day after video emerged of Shane Mumford snorting white powder, the AFL has been embroiled in scandal again.
A host of sports stars have shown support for Israel Folau's homophobic Instagram post, which is set to cost the Wallabies' star his rugby career in Australia.
The Herald Sun reports AFL stars Gary Ablett and Matthew Kennedy along with Wallabies players Samu Kerevi and Allan Alaalatoa were among thousands of Instagram users who expressed support by tapping "like" on Folau's controversial post.
© AAP Gary Ablett Jr unliked Folau's post on Sunday. Cats star Ablett and Carlton's Kennedy are both deeply religious, although Ablett removed his like on Sunday.
The Wallabies' major sponsor Qantas is awaiting Rugby Australia's review after condemning Israel Folau's latest social media outburst. The Wallabies' major sponsor has condemned Israel Folau's latest social media outburst and is awaiting Rugby Australia's review into the controversy.

Different Profiles of Microglial Activation in Alzheimer's disease
April 02, 2018 by Leigh Christopher
What's the science?
Microglia, the immune cells of the brain, may contribute to Alzheimer's disease by becoming activated in response to brain pathology (also known as neuroinflammation). Currently, whether neuroinflammation is associated with Alzheimer's progression (harms the brain) or whether it may be protective (helps to "eat" plaques in the brain) is still a matter of debate. This week in Brain, Hamelin and colleagues used PET imaging to examine how microglial activation in the brain is related to Alzheimer's disease progression.
PET imaging was used to measure the uptake of a radiotracer (18F-DPA-714) in the brain binding to activated microglia. A large group of patients with Alzheimer's disease were scanned twice for activated microglia, once at baseline and once two years later. They were then followed up annually and scanned with MRI to measure brain volume (measure of Alzheimer's progression) and given annual cognitive tests to assess dementia severity and cognitive function. Based on this, patients were split into "fast and slow decliner" categories. The microglial activation levels over time were also analyzed compared to a control group of healthy participants.
Having a high level of microglial activation at baseline was predictive of being a slow decliner. In patients with a high baseline neuroinflammation, cognitive performance was better and brain volume was more preserved, suggesting that more microglial activation at baseline is protective. At two years follow-up, microglial activation was higher in Alzheimer's participants but not controls as would be expected. Increased microglial activation over time was related to worsening cognitive scores and brain atrophy, suggesting that it is harmful. However, when they examined neuroinflammation over time at an individual level, they found that those with the highest baseline microglial activation had the lowest increase in microglial activation over time. They concluded that there is a dynamic relationship, whereby neuroinflammation may affect patients differently, depending on their original level of microglial activity. Microglial activation appears to be protective initially, but exacerbates Alzheimer's disease over time; to a greater extent in those who had low levels of microglial activation to begin with.
What's the impact?
This is the first study to show that neuroinflammation may affect individuals with Alzheimer's disease differently depending on their baseline level of microglial activity. It shows us that microglial activation may be helpful or harmful depending on the individual and how far their disease has progressed. Understanding the role microglial activation play in Alzheimer's disease is an essential part of understanding how the disease progresses.

A Model for the Spread of Tau through Connected Tracts in the Human Brain
February 13, 2018 by Leigh Christopher
In Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins accumulate in the hippocampus resulting in neurofibrillary tangles. Beta-amyloid plaques, another form of protein aggregation, are thought to help tau proteins spread. One way that tau may spread from neuron to neuron is through neural connections, while another possibility is that it simply spreads to neurons located close by. This week in Nature Neuroscience, Jacobs and colleagues used brain imaging to ask: 'How does tau spread?'
Healthy older participants from the Harvard Aging and Brain Study were scanned over several years with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to measure tau and beta-amyloid in the brain, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to measure connectivity (of white matter tracts) in the brain. They tested whether beta-amyloid in the brain at baseline predicts hippocampal volume loss. They then measured whether this volume loss predicts abnormalities in the hippocampal cingulum bundle (a white matter tract that innervates the hippocampus and connects it with the posterior cingulate cortex) and in turn, whether these abnormal connections predict the accumulation of tau in the posterior cingulate cortex. They ran control analyses with another tract (that does not innervate the hippocampus) and another close by region. Associations with memory and executive functions were also assessed to understand the clinical relevance.
Brain beta-amyloid level at baseline predicted hippocampal volume loss. The hippocampal volume loss also predicted abnormal white matter tract connectivity over time in the hippocampal cingulum bundle, but not in other white matter tracts close by that do not directly connect with the hippocampus. The abnormal connectivity in this tract predicted the accumulation of tau in a connected region called the posterior cingulate cortex, but not in another adjacent control region. Collectively, these changes were associated with memory decline over time. This means that early Alzheimer's pathology (beta-amyloid) initiates a cascade of hippocampal volume loss followed by abnormal tract connectivity and the spreading of tau along this tract.
This is the first study to confirm that tau likely spreads via neural connections (rather than just to regions close by) from the hippocampus, facilitated by beta-amyloid in the brain. Clarifying the order in which Alzheimer's pathology spreads, as well as the mechanism through which it spreads is critical for helping to target the advancement of Alzheimer's disease.

The Link Between a High Salt Diet and Impaired Brain Function in Mice
January 30, 2018 by Leigh Christopher
A diet high in salt has been linked to altered brain blood supply, stroke and cognitive impairment. Evidence suggests that the immune system becomes activated in response to salt, and may be involved. Recently in Nature Neuroscience, Faraco and colleagues report a mechanism linking salt in the gut to immune system activation and reduced blood flow in the brain.
They fed mice high salt diets and measured immune system markers in the blood and the function of cells lining brain blood vessels (endothelial cells which work to allow blood flow) at set time intervals over a 24 week period. They also measured resting brain blood flow using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with arterial spin labelling.
Mice fed a high salt diet had lower brain blood flow and dysfunctional endothelial cells. Additionally, they had worsened memory function, and a reduced ability to perform daily activities. Mice fed a high salt diet also had higher levels of immune cells (lymphocytes) in the gut, which resulted in higher inflammatory markers (IL-17) in the blood. Importantly, the lowered brain blood flow and cognitive problems were dependent on this immune system response.
This study confirms previous theories that the immune system plays a role in linking dietary salt with brain function. Importantly, it reveals a specific immune system pathway linking the gut and the brain. This gut-brain pathway could be targeted with therapies to prevent harmful effects of salt on the brain.

A Writer's Travel Guide: 10 Facts about the Famed and Famous World of the Theatre
2016/06/06 by Anna M. Thane
Going to the theatre was one of the most popular evening pastimes of the Regency period. It offered more than entertainment, laughter and drama: At the theatre, men and women could meet publicly in society, and classes would mix. Seeing and being seen was also part of the entertainment.
Though the theatre was popular, it was considered morally reprehensible by the conservative or pious. In Oxford, theatre groups were even banned from performing because of their allegedly negative influence on students.
A theatre is a great location for one or more scenes in a Regency Novel. Use it to introduce a new, villainous character or move the storyline on by getting your main characters into trouble. I have compiled an information kit with 10 important aspects for you to create an authentic scene at a theatre.
Information Kit: 10 Facts about the Theatre
1. A hotbed of sin and sedition
Educational guides warned genteel young ladies of the theatre and advised them to take great care in choosing a play: A lady should never go to a play that could offend her delicacy. A play should always be chaste and instructive.
"'When going to the Theatre", advises Lord Chesterfield, author of 'Principles of Politeness', "then, let it be to a tragedy, whose exalted sentiments will ennoble your heart."
Besides picking the appropriate performances, being seen at the right ones was important, too. A genteel lady attending a bawdy comedy would appear bold or unsophisticated.
Besides the priggishly indignant, the authorities regarded the stage with suspicion. Plays were regarded as a vehicle for seditious ideas and blasphemy. Whoever wanted to perform a play for money needed a licence from the Lord Chamberlain (in London) or a magistrate (outside of London). Even more, all scripts had to be approved prior to the performance. Anti-religious or politically dangerous plays were strictly censored.
2. What's on tonight?
So how would a genteel young lady find information about what was on at the theatres, to pick a decent tragedy?
Theatres provided a different play on each of the six performance nights of a week. Playbills covering the theatre programme of the whole season were yet unknown. The evening 's play was announced on the previous evening's playbill and advertised in the daily newspapers on the day of the performance.
From the end of the 18th century it was known up to a week ahead what was on, although still no further in advance.
3. Who is who in the auditorium?
A typical Georgian auditorium
Though all classes visited the theatre, it didn't mean they rubbed shoulders by sitting next to each other.
The boxes were the most exclusive seats and occupied by wealthy patrons and members of the high society. A seat in a box costed 3 shillings. The wealthy patron and the local magistrate each had their personal box at the very right and left of the stage. Being seated close to the actors was meant as a sign of respect; it also allowed the actors to integrate these high-ranking members of society into the play.
The pit (2 shillings per seat) was the home of the intelligentsia, professionals and critics. The lower classes – tradesmen and craftsmen, hairdressers, apprentices, clerks and labourers – spent 1 shilling for sitting at the crowded gallery.
4. Misery, Crime and Ruin
As a location, the theatre was considered potentially dangerous:
With health and safety rules still non-existent, the auditorium could be packed dangerously full. Accidents were rare, but it did happen that people were injured or even crushed to death once the doors were opened.
The crowed rooms offered a perfect hunting ground for pick-pockets.
Prostitutes on the look-out for new customers mingled in the notorious pit and found easy prey in young, impressionable men.
Small wonder that the conservative or pious associated the theatre with vulgarity and brashness. Again, genteel young ladies should be especially cautious: The private boxes, and especially the small rooms adjoining them, encouraged the improper, warned 'The Female Instructor' in 1811: Rakes would take an innocent young lady to the theatre, "to those plays which they knew had a natural tendency to soften and unguard the heart". The next step would be to seduce the victim and "to abandon her to misery and ruin".
5. About time
In the early 18th century, a performance used to start in the afternoon as going home after dark was difficult in the dim lighting, and dangerous because of footpads.
With improved security and lighting conditions, the start times of plays grew steadily later. By 1817, the shows at the two main London theatres began at seven o'clock in the evening. The doors to the auditorium opened about one hour before the curtain would rise.
A performance lasted 4-5 hours, with the main play being nestled between songs, dances, acrobatics, clowning or pantomimes. Thus, theatregoers wouldn't be home before midnight.
6. Reserving a seat – 18th-century style
Booking a ticket wasn't yet possible. To reserve a seat, there were two options:
Permanently hiring a box. This could easily cost several hundred shillings a year, and was only for the very wealthy.
Sending a servant to the theatre when to doors first opened. The servant would sit in the seats needed for the night and thus reserve them. When his masters finally arrived, the servant withdrew. If the servant was lucky, his master arrived late, or rather, in time for the play which usually was number 3 or 4 of the program. Thus, the servant might enjoy a considerable part of the performance.
7. See and be seen
VIP-experience: Inside the Royal box with the best view of the stage.
In the boxes of genteel families, the pretty, unmarried daughter sat in the middle of the front-row. This was, of course, to bring her to the attention of eligible bachelors and to show off her taste in morally irreproachable tragedies as well as her sophistication.
The gentlemen would stand or sit in the back of the box. This was not meant as extra security, so that they could prevent strangers from entering the box. It rather allowed the gentlemen to ogle the women in the pit unimpeded and unnoticed by their own female company.
There was plenty to see for the voyeurs: Entrances to the pit was via two pit passages left and right from the stage. Women had to lift their skirts to climb the steps, thus offering the gentlemen in the boxes a good view of their ankles.
8. Rowdies and riots
The 'kicking board', or the wooden balustrade at the gallery, used by the audience to express displeasure by kicking at it.
The behaviour of the audience could get loud, bawdy and unruly. People arrived and left throughout the duration of the performance, and they chatted among themselves. Alcohol and food were consumed in great quantity during the show. So called 'fruit women' moved among the audience, selling refreshments, copies of plays and books of songs.
Theatregoers reacted to the play by weeping, cheering and hissing. If not pleased with the performance, they threw things at the stage or kicked the wooden balustrade of the gallery.
Riots were not uncommon. The Drury Lane theatre in London was destroyed six times in the 18th century. Riots could break out spontaneously under the influence of alcohol. They could also be planned, e.g. to protest against a price rise for the theatre or an immoral behaviour of a female member of the theatre group. The later happened to the popular actresses Mrs H. Johnston of Covent Garden Theatre. When she returned to the stage in 1807, after two years of absence, she was greeted by a yell of fury. Mrs Johnson was considered guilty of infidelity to her husband, and had failed to display the virtues of discretion, decency and modesty expected of women at this time. Even the famous Sarah Siddons was hissed at when the public believed that success had made her arrogant.
In the case of a planned riot, the female part of the audience was usually led out of the theatre before the action began.
9. The constable steps in!
There were limits to lively or bawdy behaviour. Throughout much of the eighteenth century, theatres employed constables to prevent rowdiness. Two constables took up position on either side of the stage at the start of a performance. Anyone going too far, e.g. by striking and fighting would be brought before a magistrate, and the right to attend the theatre was taken away. The theatres posted the name of the delinquents on their walls to ensure that they did not gain admittance. To be readmitted, they had to pay a fine and promise to behave properly in future.
10. Wowing the Audience
An original counter-weighted platform to hurl an actor onto the stage.
The audience admired sceneries that would create movement and magical effects such as trees growing out of rocks, burning and collapsing palaces, earthquakes, and erupting volcanoes. Below-stage mechanisms created exciting effects: Counter-weighted platforms hurled an actor onto the stage, and trapdoors allowed sudden appearances and disappearances. Ghosts were accompanied by blue, white or red fire.
Technical innovations in electricity and chemistry helped to illuminate the centre of the stage, allowing actors more freedom of movement. In 1784, the Argand lamp, a powerful oil lamp equivalent to the light of 10 candles, was adopted at Drury Lane Theatre. Experiments with gas lighting began in 1803, and lighting of the stage advanced during the Regency period, until it became 'as bright as day'.
All photos were taken at the Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond, Yorkshire.
The Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond, Yorkshire, is the most complete theatre of the Georgian Age still performing today. It was built by an excellent actor manager, Samuel Butler, in 1788 and run by his family. Actors who performed here included the famous Edmund Kean.

Sassuolo up to second in Serie A after seven-goal Bologna thriller
Milan (AFP) –
Sassuolo moved to second place in Serie A on Sunday behind leaders AC Milan after a thrilling 4-3 comeback win at Bologna.
Roberto de Zerbi's side had been trailing 3-1 after an hour, but three substitutions, including a first start for French midfielder Maxime Lopez, rescued three points for the visitors.
Francesco Caputo set up Filip Djuricic to make it 3-2 after 64 minutes and six minutes later Caputo nodded in the equaliser following a poor clearance from Bologna forward Rodrigo Palacio.
It was the fourth goal in as many league games for Caputo, 33, who scored on his Italy debut against Moldova earlier this month.
Japan defender Takehiro Tomiyasu handed Sassuolo their third win this season after accidently turning into his own net with 20 minutes to go.
"It was a wonderful fightback from two goals down, and we scored some good goals too," said De Zerbi.
"But we haven't done anything yet. There are difficult matches ahead."
Sassuolo have ten points from three games and move two points behind AC Milan, who beat city rivals Inter Milan 2-1 on Saturday thanks to a Zlatan Ibrahimovic double.
Atalanta drop to third after Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Napoli in fourth equal on points with champions Juventus, who playing without quarantined Cristiano Ronaldo, settled for a 1-1 draw at Crotone.

Docking pilot's actions seen as probable cause in tugboat allision with berth
Nick Blenkey
NTSB seal
The National Transportation Safety Board has issued a Marine Accident Brief on its investigation of a Sept. 23, 2019, incident in which a wharf incurred $1.47 million in damage.
The accident occurred at about 6.57 a.m., local time, when the tugboats G.M. McAllister and Nancy McAllister were assisting the bulk carrier Ijssel Confidence on the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, in Chesapeake, Va. While engaged in turning the bulk carrier, the G.M. McAllister contacted the NGL Energy Partners wharf. There were four crewmembers on board the tugboat. The vessel was not damaged and therefore continued the turning maneuver. No pollution or injuries were reported.
The Marine Accident Brief notes that the Ijssel Confidence had engaged two pilots for the undocking and transit to sea, which was normal practice in this port. The docking pilot would undock and conn the ship from the berth to a place about 5 miles downriver, and the state pilot would conn the ship from that point until it reached the pilot boarding area off of Cape Henry, at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. The docking pilot was a member of the Association of Virginia Docking Pilots and had U.S. Coast Guard mariner's credentials with a federal pilotage endorsement for the area of the river where the accident occurred. The state pilot, a member of the Virginia Pilot Association, held U.S. Coast Guard mariner's credentials with federal endorsements and a state pilotage endorsement from the Commonwealth of Virginia for the accident area. A state pilot was compulsory for the vessel under Coast Guard regulations.
The bulker's undocking and transit to sea was conducted with two 4,000-horsepower tugboats, the G.M. McAllister and the Nancy McAllister. After the bulker left the berth, it proceeded downriver astern in a general westerly direction toward the turning basin, with the engine dead slow astern and the rudder midship. As the Ijssel Confidence approached the turning basin where the river started to bend northwest, the vessel's astern speed continued to increase and its course over ground remained in a westerly direction.
As the docking pilot attempted to slow the ship, the vessel moved towards to the south side of the river, away from Money Point, and the G.M. McAllister struck the NGL Energy Partners berth.
During the NTSB's investigation, both tugboat captains stated the Ijssel Confidence was moving too fast for the tugboats to work effectively.
The docking pilot was an experienced former tugboat captain and mate. He had docked and undocked hundreds of ships in the accident area of the river, mostly using tractor tugboats. Conventional tugboats, like those involved in this accident, are less maneuverable than tractor tugboats. In this accident, says the NTSB , the docking pilot neglected to take into account the conventional tugboats' reduced effectiveness and the additive effect to the ship's speed.
The NTSB determined the probable cause of the contact of the G.M McAllister with the NGL Energy Partners berth was the docking pilot backing down the river toward the turning basin at a speed at which the assist tugboats could not be effectively used.

You can't ride without a bike… Having a motorcycle to ride is the first step in enjoying the freedom of the open road and riding free. Having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the first step in enjoying Real Freedom and 'spiritually' riding free.


Helen Kerr on the Future of Work.
The Expo for Design, Innovation & Technology is a large public exhibition that brings together a range of leading figures from multiple sectors and practices Through an array of participatory experiences, talks, installations, and workshops, participants are challenged to discover how they, too, can design the future.
In partnership with the United Nations Development Programme, EDIT is a 10-day immersive festival that will bring us one step closer to achieving the UNDP's Sustainable Development Goals.
Today, the steady advancement of technologies and the accelerated pace of disruptive change create less and less predictable environments in which we work. Organization Design plays a major role in reshaping the way we work, transitioning "old ways" of doing things, to new and better ways of doing and being. These new ways of working enable organizations to create workplaces that accommodate complexity, unconceived technologies, innovation, and (most importantly) our collective and individual purpose.
Fostering a culture of innovation and meaning is a viable way to revolutionize organizations, and unleash the potential of the people that powers them. This talk aims to explore the future of work, and how Design builds thriving organizations in unforeseeable environments.


I always thought this game was great. You're the spider and you need to eat flies. Watch out for the fly swatter though.
A whack-a-mole tribute with caterpillars. When I was a kid there were several girls at my bus stop who would step on caterpillars because they got freaked out by them. I always thought they were cute (the caterpillars that is).
Topview 3d action. It's you against the bugs. And there's one hell of an infestation.
Enter, if you will, and fight to the death as an ant. And remember if you win, you won't be able to take much credit because you're part of a collective that doesn't care much about individual achievement.
Ants get a bad rap, as in this game. Use your Raid knock-off spray and kill as many as you can.
You're a moth to a flame, wait, a lightbulb. Hit as many lightbulbs as you can before the lizard climbs to the top of the wire.

The National Liberation Army (ELN) terrorist group announced an economic shutdown of the country from 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 10, 2018 until 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 13, 2018. The group has warned civilians not to travel during this period, and have threatened to forcibly close roads, river and sea transportation, and air routes. Colombian authorities will increase military and police presence throughout the country. Historically, the ELN is very active during February due to key anniversaries during this period.
The strained relationship between Turkey and the United States will "either be fixed or completely broken," Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has said, speaking ahead of U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's key visit to Ankara this week. "Ties with the U.S. are at very critical point. We will either fix these relations or they will break completely," Çavuşoğlu told reporters in Istanbul on Feb 12. "We want concrete steps [from the U.S.]. Missing trust needs to be restored. The reason for that missing trust is the U.S.," he said. On a tour to the Middle East, Tillerson will pay a visit to Ankara on Feb. 15 and 16 where he will hold talks with Çavuşoğlu and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Separately, U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and Turkish Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli will meet in Brussels on Feb. 15 on the margins of the NATO ministerial meeting. These talks come as bilateral strains mount between the two NATO allies over a number of issues, including Washington's continued alliance with the People's Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria. Turkey launched a military operation into Syria's Afrin district against the YPG and senior officials have repeatedly vowed a follow-up incursion into the Manbij area, where U.S. troops are stationed alongside YPG militants.
The United States has no immediate plans to exempt Malaysians from travel visa requirements when visiting the country, said its ambassador to Malaysia Kamala Shirin Lakhdir. Lakhdir told English daily The Star that the Trump administration was also not currently looking to expand the program to include more countries. "I cannot predict if there will be a change in that policy," she was quoted as saying. "Malaysia and the US have worked very hard on travel security measures, in terms of making sure travelers are legitimate and working on lost or stolen passport information". Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said last year that Putrajaya could try negotiating for a visa waiver for Malaysians planning to travel to the US. Those renewing their US visa were previously required to fill up an online application and go through the interviews again. However, holders of visas that are still valid or have expired within the last 12 months can now renew theirs by mail without having to attend the interview, The Star reported. The US is also considering extending the service to regular travelers.

Get ready Queensland ...
Premier Palaszczuk open to Queensland NRL return
by Scott Bailey
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is open to top-level rugby league returning to the state if the NRL can show it will provide a safe workplace for players and the community.
Just weeks after being one of the harshest critics of the game's efforts to resume late next month, Palaszczuk confirmed she had received the NRL's safety plan.
That has now been passed onto the state's chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young, who will assess the sport's bid.
At this stage, Queensland clubs face being forced to go into camp in NSW for the competition's planned resumption on May 28 due to the Sunshine State's border closure.
However, Queensland has been one of the first states to relax some of its major coronavirus restrictions, offering some hope to the more than 150 players and staff members.
"Everyone wants to see sport come back in some shape or form," Palaszczuk told ABC on Monday.
"It needs to be safe for the players and the teams, and it needs to be safe for the community.
"As long as those sporting codes can tick that off, we've also had a submission from another sporting code as well. And we're assessing that as well."
The NSW Government has previously said the NRL will be able to return on the basis of a safe workplace.
The league sent clubs a draft document of safety guidelines on Sunday night while include the ability to make players move from their current home if it is considered a risk.
Players and staff are also banned from exercising in public outside of their club's training base, having visitors and using public transport.
Palaszczuk, meanwhile, hinted that the AFL was another major competition to submit a report as part of its hopes of returning to the field.
The national cabinet is set to discuss frameworks for the return of sport at an elite, club and recreational level on Friday.
Those principles will be handed to the state government to be used as guidelines for whether sport should return within their jurisdiction.
"I look forward to that discussion as well. I think that those national principles are a key," Palaszczuk said.

Q: How To Pass EF ObjectContext To Multiple Functions? I have a WPF application with a form that updates multiple related tables on one Save button click.  I want to the put the save code into separate functions like shown below.
Will this work?  How can I do this within one ObjectContext and one SaveChanges call?
        private void SaveEntity()
        {
            using (var oContext = new MyEntities())
            {
                SaveEntityInfo();
                SaveOwners();
                SavePartners();
                SaveOfficers();
                SaveDirectors();
                oContext.SaveChanges();
            }
        }

A: It will work with some changes. You can change your code this way:
private void SaveEntity()
{
    using (var oContext = new MyEntities())
    {
        SaveEntityInfo(oContext);
        SaveOwners(oContext);
        SavePartners(oContext);
        SaveOfficers(oContext);
        SaveDirectors(oContext);
        oContext.SaveChanges();
    }
}

//One of multiple save methods
private void SaveEntityInfo(MyEntities context)
{
    //Add something to context
    //Remove something from context
    //Update something in context
    //But never use context.Save() here
    //Let SaveChanges() only calls in your SaveEntity() method
}

Hankook has launched its '2018 Design Innovation' project.
Hankook has announced the launch of its '2018 Design Innovation' project. Held every two years, the Design Innovation project realises the infinite possibilities of a tyre through designing creative and realistic alternatives to driving.
'2018 Design Innovation' will be held under the theme of 'Extending Future Life Beyond Mobility'. In 2035, human life is expected to be more connected to technologically advanced systems such as artificial intelligence and robotics. Future mobility in this era will likely not be limited to transporting a person to a different location, but will also expand to providing new experiences and values to the traditional mobility environment. As such, the participants of the project will be asked to create a new tyre concept using autonomous driving technology, proposing a whole new experience to the future of driving.
In association with the prestigious UK's Royal College of Art in London, over 10 students majoring in vehicle design will participate in the project. They will be required to present a 3D model of a future tyre, including tyre, wheel, and exterior design. The project starts in January and concludes at the end of March. Selected entries will be animated and actual size mock-ups created ready for the award ceremony in September.

Вернер Гаас (; 30 травня 1927, Аугсбург — 13 листопада 1956) — німецький мотогонщик, триразовий чемпіон світу з шосейно-кільцевих мотогонок серії MotoGP, перший гонщик, який виграв чемпіонати у двох різних класах протягом одного сезону. Найкращий спортсмен Німеччини 1953 року. Трагічно загинув у авіакатастрофі.

Біографія
Вернер Гаас народився в сім'ї поштаря. Він пройшов курс автомеханіка у автопарку колишньої імперської поштової служби (Reichspost). У 1945 році Вернер тимчасово працював у американських збройних силах.

Гаас розпочав своє кар'єру з виступів на старенькому мотоциклі NSU 500 SS (NSU Bullus). Дилер компанії «Ardie» в Аугсбурзі Відеманн () підтримав молодого гонщика, надавши йому мотоцикл виробництва «Ardie» та влаштувавши його на роботу тест-пілотом.

У 1952 році Гаас виступав у класі 125cc на саморобному мотоциклі з двигуном виробництва «Puch-Werke». У липні 1952-го року, напередодні Гран-Прі Західної Німеччини, заводські гонщики команди «NSU» Роберто Коломбо і Карл Хофман травмувались під час тренувань, і Вернеру ввечері перед гонкою запропонували виступити за «NSU» в гонці класу 125cc. Гаас сповна скористався наданим шансом, вигравши гонку, здобувши міжнародну популярність.

Для нього це був прорив, і на сезон 1953 він отримав контракт з командою «NSU». Гаас став дворазовим чемпіоном світу в класах 125сс та 250сс, що дозволило команді тріумфувати у заліку виробників у цих класах. За підсумками сезону Вернер був визнаний найкращим німецьким спортсменом року (разом із велогонщиком Густавом-Адольфом Шуром).

1954-ий був сезоном найбільшого тріумфу NSU: на Гран-Прі острова Мен австрійський гонщик Руперт Холлаус виграв гонку в класі 125сс, а Вернер Гаас був першим в категорії 250сс. У цьому році Вернер виграв свій третій чемпіонат світу (в класі 250сс), заодно вигравши німецький етап в класах 125сс та 250сс. Але гоночний сезон мав трагічний кінець для команди NSU: Руперт Холлаус загинув в результаті нещасного випадку під час практики на останній гонці сезону в Монці. Холлаус був посмертно нагороджений титулом чемпіона світу 1954 року в класі 125сс. В кінці сезону, після 24 перемог в 24 гонках, NSU відмовилися від офіційних змагань як виробник, компанію могли представляти лише гонщики на особистих байках.

Після припинення виступів NSU, свою кар'єру закінчив і Вернер Гаас. 13 листопада 1956 він загинув у авіакатастрофі, що сталася поблизу Нойбурга-на-Дунаї, розбившись на одномісному літаку типу «Jodel Bebe».

Вернер Гаас був першим німецьким чемпіоном світу з шосейно-кільцевих мотоперегонів, завоювавши 3 світових титули та вигравши 11 гонок Гран-Прі. Дорога з міста Аугсбурга була названа на честь гонщика невдовзі після його передчасної смерті.

Date from which rent increase is take effect.
Operation of rent review clause by the tenant.
See also the pages on "time of the essence" and "presumption of reality" - see contents on left.
There is a third case, which deals with the construction of rent review clauses, in the light of Arnold v Britton.
It is much more common to find rent review disputes in a commercial context. This claim related to an assured tenancy granted by a housing association. The agreement allowed the landlord to increase the rent in June each year. Notwithstanding the provisions of the agreements the landlord decided to increase the rent in April each year. The tenants claimed that four annual notices of rent increases were invalid and that the rent payable should be that which was payable in 1999. The case concerned one tenancy agreement but there were many other tenants who could be affected by the outcome. A decision in favour of the tenants would have been a disaster for this, and no doubt many other social landlords, who rely on the rent received for most of their income. The Housing Corporation intervened in the case in support of the landlord.
The rent payable will be increased annually with effect from the first Monday of June each year. (This is known as the 'Rent Variation Date')"
The claim was for possession based on arrears for rent. The tenants however claimed that the alleged arrears of rent were not lawfully due because the landlord had not duly implemented the contractual procedures for rent increases in that the rent variation date in each of the notices from 2001 onwards did not conform with the contractual rent variation date. The landlord's main argument was that time was not of the essence. The second argument was that on a proper construction of the tenancy agreement the landlord could recover the rent on a later date than the first Monday in June so long as the requisite notice was given.
'All that [clause 2 (7)] has done is to identify the rent variation date. It contains no obligation on Riverside to do something by a particular time and there is therefore no failure against which equity would relieve on the basis that the time provision was non-essential.'."
"On a fair reading, I consider that the combined effect of the centrally relevant clauses 2(6) and 2(7) amounts to this. Riverside is entitled to increase the rent once a year on 28 days notice, which notice can take effect any time on or after the first Monday in June. In this connection, it seems to me that clause 2(6) imposes one condition, namely that Riverside must give the tenant four weeks notice before the reviewed rent becomes payable, and that clause 2(7) imposes another condition, in that it provides that the reviewed rent cannot become payable earlier than the first Monday in June. It is true that the words 'with effect from' could be taken as meaning 'with immediate effect from' but they can mean 'on or at any time after' As usual, it all depends on context. If I were to say to a friend that I would be arriving for dinner 'with effect from' 8 o'clock, the natural meaning would be not that I would be arriving at 8 pm precisely, but that I would be arriving at or some time after 8 pm (albeit that, because I was coming for dinner, there would presumably be an implied term that I would be arriving before, say, 9.30 pm at the latest)."
The statement, that time is presumed not to be of the essence is irrelevant to the date from which the reviewed rent is actually paid, is applicable to commercial as well as residential tenancies.
In reaching his conclusion on the construction of the particular clauses in this case, Lord Neuberger highlighted a number of differences between the commercial and residential context (see paragraphs 28 to 33). Thus, no assistance can be derived from this part of the decision in interpreting rent review clauses in commercial leases.
Lord Neuberger has a rather odd way of telling his friends that he will be late for dinner.
A lease with a complicated rent review clause, which had an element providing for an open market value of the premises; ie not upwards only. The tenant wanted to operate the rent review clause because there was evidence that it might lead to a reduction in the rent. It argued that where there the lease provides for an open market rent there is a presumption that either the landlord or the tenant cannot operate the rent review clause.
[T]here is no presumption that a rent review clause (even one incorporating an open review) ought to be exercisable by both parties to the lease. Everything depends upon the form of review which the parties have chosen to incorporate. This can vary from a right to review exercisable by the landlord alone to a review which is mandatory on each of the review dates. The choice between these alternatives depends upon what the parties have agreed. There are no presumptions either way.
The Court of Appeal held that the clear wording of the rent review clause fell to be interpreted in accordance with the 'natural and ordinary meaning' of the words used rather than in the light of its commercial purpose.
"The annual Rent for any Review Period is to be determined at the relevant Review Date by multiplying the Initial Rent by the Index for the month preceding the relevant Review Date and dividing the result by the Base Figure".
The Base Figure was specified as 193.1 and the Index was the "index figure of the Index of Retail Prices".
The "Initial Rent" was defined as being the highest of three figures or calculations and in July 2010, the parties signed a memorandum stating that the Initial Rent was to be £1.2 million a year from 25 March 2010.
On that basis, the landlord said, the reviewed rent was therefore £1.6m.
The tenant disagreed, arguing that the rent review clause contained an obvious error: instead of saying "the Initial Rent", it should say "the rent payable under the Initial Lease immediately prior to expiry", i.e. £965,000; that accorded with commercial common sense and would give a reviewed rent of £1.3m.
The court had to decide whether this indexed rent review clause should be interpreted as it stood or interpreted in the light of the commercial purpose.
The trial judge held that the whilst the rent review provisions were unusual and provided for a greater increase in rent than standard indexation would have produced, it was not possible to say with any certainty that it was irrational or an obvious mistake considering the other terms of the transaction. Therefore, the court held that the strict terms of the review provision should apply.
The judge applied the test laid down in Arnold v Britton  UKSC 36 which set out a five-stage process of interpretation. This process includes looking at the overall purpose of the clause and the lease, and commercial common sense. However, the Supreme Court clearly stated in that case, that commercial common sense and surrounding circumstances should not undervalue the importance of the language used and the clearer the natural meaning the more difficult it is to justify departing from it.
The Court of Appeal agreed and dismissed the tenant's appeal.
However, if the intention of the parties as evidenced by the drafting is clear, the Court will follow the wording of the lease. So, for example, in Earl Cadogan & Cadogan Estates v Escada AG  EWHC 78 Ch the rent review provisions failed to disregard the tenant's extensive fitting out works. This was disastrous for the tenant who had paid for the cost of completing the works and was then required to pay an increased rent because of them, but equally (on the facts) disastrous for the landlord who was faced with valuing the premises as two units rather than a combined flagship store. Nonetheless, the court declined to interfere. It decided that the wording of the clause was so clear, albeit commercially unrealistic, that it could not construe the contract to have anything other than its literal meaning and that it should therefore be assumed that the premises did comprise two separate units, particularly when dealing with "a carefully negotiated Lease involving expert professionals" and it further rejected an application for rectification on the grounds of mistake.
