Blue Nile executives said rising diamond prices are giving its customers sticker shock, and they complained that ongoing price volatility is hurting their business.
"In certain elements of our product sets, smaller-price stones are up in the significant double-digit ranges over last year," he said.
Rising diamond prices have been blamed for sales decreases at the Seattle-based e-tailer in the past.
Also on the call, CEO Harvey Kanter sounded mixed on the formerly online-only retailer's ongoing clicks-and-bricks experiment, which involved setting up showcases in Nordstrom Wedding Suites in Seattle and Garden City, N.Y.
In a presentation in March at the Executives in Fashion series in Seattle, Kanter said that the test aims to determine if letting consumers see and touch jewelry up close can increase conversion rates.
The executives' comments came as the company announced generally favorable financial results, with both sales and profits notching strong gains. The e-tailer's core engagement ring business increased 8 percent in the United States. Its non-engagement category, a growing focus for the company, increased 7.6 percent, with wedding bands and diamond jewelry singled out as best sellers. Pearls, gems, and rose gold were also "important categories," Kanter said.
Blue Nile also unveiled a new goal: "To be the worldwide leading retailer of bridal and fine jewelry," which will involve seeking an increased international footprint, particularly in China, which Kanter said has a potential to be an even bigger market for it than the United States.
However, overall international sales for the quarter rose only 1.1 percent, a disappointing number that was affected by weakening currencies in Canada and Australia, Binder said.
Kanter also announced the company had tapped John Sainsbury, former vice president and head of strategy, to head the company's international division, replacing Vijay Talwar.
The company expects to do between $485 million and $510 million in sales for fiscal year 2014. Still, if the company wants to be the worldwide jewelry leader it has a ways to go—competitors Signet and Chow Tai Fook regularly rack up annual sales in the billions.

Folly Farm was a vernacular building originating in the 17th century as a small timber framed cottage, evolving in the late 18th century into a farmhouse. It was built in the Kennet valley near Sulhampstead on the outskirts of Reading. Geographically there are no spectacular natural features or views comparable to those of the Surrey Hills. Robert Fenn, a well-known horticulturist lived there for close to thirty years. It was purchased from Fenn by H. H. Cochrane in roughly1905 and he commissioned Edwin Lutyens to recast it as a small country house. In 1911 it was purchased by Zachary Merton (d. 1915). It is in that form that the fame of the house was established. During the 1920s and 30s the house was owned by the wine merchant, Arthur Gilbey (1861-1939) and during the Second World War the Gilbey family allowed the house to be used as a maternity home. The politician, the Hon. Oliver Stanley (1896-1950) purchased the house in 1946, but only lived there for a short period before his death when it was sold in 1951 to the Hon Hugh Astor (1920-99). Sir Desmond Pitcher (b. 1935) purchased the house in 1999. His tenure was also short, and the present owners acquired Folly Farm in 2007. The house and gardens have always been valued and enjoyed, though over the passage of time it was altered to suit changing social conditions and different taste in interior decoration.

Q: Azure DevOps - Slack integration does not work for Build completed event I'd like to set up a connection Azure DevOps and Slack, so it'd post a message after certain events (build completed, pull request created, etc). I followed this guide, it works mostly well, however I can't make it work for the "Build completed" event. I use the same settings as for other events, but messages simply don't show up.
When using the "Test", I receive the following response

I tried regenerating the Webhook URL, but no success. Other events do work, "Build completed" does not.
Any ideas what I do wrong?

A: Rick Potts from Microsoft posted yesterday here this:

The problem is with the TEST feature for a build completed service
  hooks subscription. It does not impact notification of real build
  completed event. The problem was introduced a few weeks ago with the
  most recent deployment. The solution for this problem will be deployed
  to all accounts over the next week.

Partner exits: leaving empty handed
Preserving the financial stakes in a partnership or LLP when a partner/member leaves the business can be a thorny issue. Issues arise both for partners looking to ensure the return of capital contributions and management seeking to resist payment of remuneration to a partner who has breached their duties. To help you, we summarise below the recent changes to the law for people sitting on either side of the negotiating table.
If you are facing a challenge please do call us as we are always happy to provide an initial steer and fee quote.
Returning capital contributions – how to get your capital out
A partner's capital contribution is the sum paid into the firm for the purposes of funding the business and is intended to be risked by them in using it to that end. This financial stake in the partnership will therefore include their initial and further monetary contributions but not property.
The position varies depending upon whether the business is a partnership or an LLP and what has been committed to written agreement.
How partnership capital is created
Partnership capital is created by two means. This can be via assets or cash injected from a partner intended as capital rather than a loan. Capital is also created upon the capitalisation of profits, provided there is an evidenced intention to convert undrawn profits into capital.
A record of each partner's capital contributions should be recorded in a capital account, separate and distinct from the partnership's current account. In the absence of a clear partnership agreement, there is a risk that the capital may be shared equally, even if the initial contributions were unequal. If the injection was intended as a loan this should be documented as there are differences between how capital and loans are treated, especially upon insolvency.
How do you get your capital out when you leave a partnership?
It is common for the partnership agreement to specify that the outgoing partner's share will include their capital contribution. If there is no agreement or the terms are silent on partner exit, a partner leaving a partnership will be able to dissolve the partnership and wind it up. As part of this process and provided that there are sufficient funds, they will be entitled to a repayment of their capital contribution after payment of debts.
The ability to dissolve a partnership is very draconian and may be used to hold the remaining partners to ransom. Consequently, there is a huge risk in having a verbal partnership agreement.
As a partnership is not a separate legal entity, the general rule is that the individual partners are jointly and severally liable for all partnership debts. However, for the purposes of insolvency, partnerships can be treated as legal entities in their own right, in order to benefit from rescue procedures (such as voluntary arrangements with creditors) that are normally reserved for companies. But, once the partnership is controlled by an administrator, it will not be possible to extract your capital contribution until the partnership's creditors have been paid.
Where the partnership has become insolvent, there is still a strong risk that each partner will be pursued by a creditor for the partnership's debt. In addition to winding-up the partnership, the partners may also be individually subject to a bankruptcy order. Inevitably in most insolvency cases the partners sacrifice capital contributions in payment of the partnership's debts. Those with loans would be repaid in priority to partners capital contributions.
How LLP capital is created
Absent an LLP agreement to the contrary, a sum contributed by a member will be treated as a loan and a debt owed by the LLP. In contrast, capital does not constitute a debt of the LLP owed to the member.
This distinction is important as it affects the member's position in the case of insolvency. Where a sum is treated as a loan to the LLP, the firm owes a debt to the member; in the case of the LLP's insolvency, the firm will be liable to repay the amount to the member – this is known as the "Member's Right to Return". In contrast, if a sum is in fact capital, the member will be an unsecured creditor, meaning they rank behind the LLP's other creditors for priority of repayment.
One of the main benefits of an LLP over a traditional partnership is that an LLP has separate legal liability for its debts. The LLP will be treated in the same way as a company for the purposes of insolvency. The members of an LLP, unlike partners in a partnership, do not have open-ended personal liability for the LLP on insolvency. This means that members cannot be pursued individually by a creditor for an LLP debt. The liability of an LLP member is limited to their capital contributions and any profits due, so as with a partnership, members will not be able to regain their capital.
The LLP agreement is silent on returning capital to members – what can you do?
Where there is no LLP agreement addressing the financial entitlements of exiting partners, the default regulations will apply; this means that there will be no provision for the exiting partner.
The only options for outgoing members to challenge the refusal to pay out their capital contribution are winding up the LLP or an application for unfair prejudice. There are situations in which the court may find that a contribution should be returned to a member on the basis that the loss of such entitlement would represent a gift to the LLP. There is a risk that the court will refuse to imply such an agreement but it is clear that there is scope for return of capital contributions, despite the current legislation.
What should you include in your partnership or LLP agreement?
The simplest way to ensure the return your capital contribution is a well-drafted partnership/LLP agreement that is clear about the financial entitlements of outgoing partners. Key clauses will include:
Share of profits for previously finished year
Share of profits for current year in respect of period of cessation
Capital contributions
Members' loans
Unrealised capital profits
Forfeiting profit share in circumstances of fiduciary breach
How to keep business profit from a wrongdoing partner
Common to both partnerships and LLPs, the partners owe certain fiduciary duties to the business. These principally include good faith, honesty and acting to the benefit of the partnership. If these duties are breached, can you withhold or recall payment of their profit share as compensation for the harm to the business?
What can be forfeited?
Partners/members who breach their duties may lose their right to their proportion of profit share. Where profit shares are characterised as remuneration, this can be susceptible to forfeit. This means that breach of fiduciary duties may be compensated by withholding profit share from the wrongdoing partner/member.
When does the forfeiture rule apply?
The case law to date focuses on the application of the forfeiture rule to one-off transactions, rather than long-term relationships with a single instance of wrongdoing – in such cases it is felt that forfeiture would not be appropriate.
The court is unlikely to impose forfeiture where the breach was by someone acting in good faith or honestly and/or where it would not be 'proportionate and equitable' to do so. In practice, this means that an honest belief that something is not a duty or unknowingly doing something wrong will be unlikely to attract forfeiture. However, clear cases of serious and/or continuous breach, such as losing a major client or hiding partnership profits may qualify.
The status and ownership of work in progress is another area that causes problems when a partner/member leaves. What happens to unbilled work at the time of exit? What can the partnership do when an exiting partner transfers their current work to a new firm in competition with the partnership/LLP? The forfeiture rule may now apply to such circumstances to provide a level of redress.
Can forfeiture be imposed?
As explained, not every situation will give rise to a right of the partnership or LLP to forfeit remuneration or capital otherwise due to partners. Before taking action partnerships need to consider:
Is the partner/member a fiduciary?
Has the partner breached a fiduciary duty?
Will the partner have grounds for claiming they are not a partner but in fact an employee. Under UK employment law it is very difficult to forfeit employment income unless there is a right of set off and the claim is properly made out.
Was the breach honest? In the circumstances, would it be proportionate and equitable to apply the forfeiture rule?
When considering whether to impose the forfeiture rule, be careful not to waive the breach; in such cases, there would be no ability either to clawback payments made, withhold profit due or apply for forfeiture.
Steps partners be aware of
Always consider your partnership agreement and do not assume that all partnerships are the same. In terms of future forfeiture consider:
Making payment of profit share conditional on compliance with fiduciary duties
Including a forfeiture clause – ensure that this does not look like a penalty clause as this will be disregarded by the court
Expressly excluding forfeiture to protect all partners/members in the future
Dissolution of a Partnership
LLPs and tax on members
Fiduciary duties: repudiatory breach of contract?

Global climate change presents both acute and long-term risks to humanity. Managed retreat has emerged in the literature as one method by which to manage some acute and slow-onset events caused by climate change, but it requires substantial additional research and examination. It is now clear that humanity must scrutinize how and where we live and the wisdom of policies that support continued rebuilding and reinvestment after climate-related disasters. Despite its emergence as a potential policy response to risk, the phrase "managed retreat" is documented as a barrier in itself to successful adaptation actions, largely because the term is currently almost exclusively considered to mean physical movement of infrastructure or people out of harm's way—that is, retreat. There is a need to document and consider case studies where managed retreat is being utilized more broadly and to consider these case studies as a climate governance approach to managing risk. The case studies presented of local policy responses to climate-induced disaster events demonstrate examples of the permanent changes that are already occurring to the existing and historical governance of climate-related risks. These case studies can serve to broaden the climate adaptation discussion and framework beyond "managed retreat" and may lead to more successful implementation of adaptation measures that reduce climate risks. We adopt the term "transformative adaptation measures," rather than "managed retreat," and provide case study illustrations of climate governance strategies that communities faced with a changing climate risk profile may consider, rather than focusing on "retreat."

Series Similar to the current stories you can see on Netflix
The premise of many animated series today it is clear: we do not accept boys or girls in the business. It is true that many of these series have their own adult public, but it is also true that it is not necessary, these days, to classify animation as a product intended for children and in a while you will understand why we affirm it like this.
Current Stories is an animated comedy that is as absurd as it is irreverent.
Da Family Guy a The Simpsons, to give you the examples that best exemplify the transition to an adult audience in a television series, we are convinced that you we will capture, as well as some of the recommended Netflix series similar to Futurama, and we'll get to spend some time entertaining in front of the screen closer.
Series similar to Running Stories, the best alternatives
This list will introduce you to classical such as South Park or Rick & Morty, among others less known productions, come Assassination Classroom.
Tuca and Bertie
Police of paradise
Pop Team Epico
The disastrous life of Saiki K.
- humanized animals they are a fun way to represent absurd stories and this is a clear example. By betting on this television series you will be able to follow the adventures of a toucan and a songbird, as crazy as it may seem, and together they will end up avoid all kinds of obstacles that life puts in their path.
Average duration: 25 minutes
It might seem that we are faced with a common script, where a ragazzo wants to follow the footsteps of the father, successful policeman, and ends up succeeding when he turns 18, with the misfortune of coinciding with the raid in the streets of a new drug called rhomboid. However, they will also have the help of a police dog, called Bullet, who, despite being focused on drug detection, will eventually become just another addict.
Back Street Girls: Gokudols
We go beyond the boundaries of anime and we find ourselves in a television series with this marked Asian aesthetic and which will tell us the crazy story of three brothers of the dangerous Yakuza, which they will be forced to transform their bodies to go unnoticed, setting up your own musical group, with the figure of three women, and bursts into the Japanese music scene.
Maybe write the summary of this series is one of the biggest challenges we have faced, but you will understand this when you start to see its first few chapters. We have a couple of Girls protagonists, Popuko and Pipimi, who will show us how the humor and little gags have their corner in the genre entertainment for adults.
Go to lesson, at least when you're a teenager, it's not the most fun and challenging activity you can throw in your face. However, the students area of Kunugigaoka High School they have a great mission on their hands and that's all get rid of their teacher, which actually turns out to be a alien that threatens to destroy our planet. Both students and teachers will use theirs weaponry best to eliminate the infected individual.
I hope that, at this point in life, you don't have to to tell too much plot of this peculiar animated series, which draws on both the genre's predecessors and science fiction tapes, and which shows us a universe in which a crazy and drunk, also extremely bright, scientist, together with the inseparable nephew, will experience a multitude of adventures and will bring continuos problems to his life and to life in the universe itself.
Perhaps, we believe we are not mistaken when we say it, we are faced with one of the animation series, along with The Simpsons, longer on TV. In its chapters we will be able to follow the adventures of a group of teenagers, with extreme disabilities, and the daily life in their city, if the encounter with the devil himself, for example, can be considered daily.
We conclude this list of recommendations with another anime, there are a few today, with a series following Kusuo Saiki, a young high school student, who possesses strange psychic powers, but he prefers to keep them secrets, as the possession of these skills will lead you to the path of bitterness.

International engineering and project-management company AMEC said yesterday it had now begun conceptual engineering studies to test the potential for further development of the huge Clair field west of Shetland.
This Clair Ridge work is being led by AMEC in London and has resulted in 20 additional jobs in the city.
AMEC said the project was being executed under its recently signed global agreement with BP for offshore engineering and project-management services.
The scope of the Clair Ridge work includes both conceptual and front-end engineering and design work for a number of fixed-platform solutions being considered by BP and its partners.
Neil Bruce, chief operating officer of AMEC's natural resources division, said: "The Clair Ridge project is important to the continued growth of BP's global portfolio.
"The project is the most significant development on the UK continental shelf (UKCS) at this time.
Clair had been one of the largest remaining undeveloped reservoirs in the UKCS before production started in February 2005.
The first stage of development – costing £650million – has estimated recoverable reserves of 250million barrels of oil. However, a further 4.75billion barrels remain to be tapped.
Dave Blackwood, head of BP's North Sea business based in Aberdeen, has previously said a second phase for the Clair Ridge area could target a further 250-300million barrels of oil.
A standalone platform could be used, but the BP boss did not expect it to come on stream before at least 2012.
Clair was discovered in 1977, but was not brought into production until 2005 because of a variety of factors, including complex geology.


This is the tenth post in the series Data Visualization With R. In the previous post, we learnt how to add text annotations to plots. In this post, we will learn how to combine multiple plots. Often, it is useful to have multiple plots in the same frame as it allows us to get a comprehensive view of a particular variable or compare among different variables. The Graphics package offers two methods to combine multiple plots. par() can be used to set graphical parameters regarding plot layout using the mfcol and mfrow arguments. layout() serves the same purpose but offers more flexibility by allowing us to modify the height and width of rows and columns.
par() allows us to customize the graphical parameters(title, axis, font, color, size) for a particular session. For combining multiple plots, we can use the graphical parameters mfrow and mfcol. These two parameters create a matrix of plots filled by rows and columns respectively. Let us combine plots using both the above parameters.
mfrow combines plots filled by rows i.e it takes two arguments, the number of rows and number of columns and then starts filling the plots by row. Below is the syntax for mfrow.
Combine 2 plots in 1 row and 2 columns.
Combine 2 plots in 2 rows and 1 column.
Combine 3 plots in 1 row and 3 columns.
Combine 3 plots in 3 rows and 1 column.
Case 1: Lesser number of graphs specified We will specify that 4 plots need to be combined in 2 rows and 2 columns but provide only 3 graphs.
Case 2: Extra graph specified We will specify that 4 plots need to be combined in 2 rows and 2 columns but specify 6 graphs instead of 4.
At the core of the layout() function is a matrix. We communicate the structure in which the plots must be combined using a matrix. As such, the layout function is more flexible compared to the par() function.
Let us begin by combining 4 plots in a 2 row/2 column structure. We do this by creating a layout using the matrix function.
Combine 4 plots in 2 rows/2 columns filled by rows.
To fill the plots by column, we specify byrow = FALSE in the matrix.
The magic of the layout() function begins here. We want to combine 3 plots and the first plot should occupy both the columns in row 1 and the next 2 plots should be in row 2. If you look at the matrix below, 1 is specified twice and since the matrix is filled by row, it will occupy both the columns in the first row. Similarly the first plot will occupy the entire first row. It will be crystal clear when you see the plot.
In all the layouts created so far, we have kept the size of the rows and columns equal. What if you want to modify the width and height of the columns and rows? The widths and heights arguments in the layout() function address the above mentioned issue. Let us check them out one by one: The widths argument is used for specifying the width of the columns. Based on the number of columns in the layout, you can specify the width of each column. Let us look at some examples.
The heights arguments is used to modify the height of the rows and based on the number of rows specified in the layout, we can specify the height of each row.

News New play created in lockdown for Mercury Online Festival
New play created in lockdown for Mercury Online Festival
Wed 12 Aug 20
The shocking impact of the COVID-19 pandemic led playwright Mary Mazzilli to create a new play reflecting on how a family living across different countries responds to the challenges of lockdown.
Now that play Bright Azzuro Sea will be premiered at the Mercury Online Festival taking place from Friday 21 August to Sunday 23 August.
Working with Lumenis Theatre Company, Dr Mazzilli has overcome the many challenges posed by lockdown restrictions. The play was produced totally remotely with all cast and crew working from different locations in the UK and in Italy. The final work has then been carefully pieced together from footage recorded on mobile devices.
Dr Mazzilli, from the Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies at Essex, said: "This piece is dedicated to all families and people who have been separated during the lockdown and those who still are."
She added: "I wrote this short play at the start of the lockdown realising that we were to live with this for the long run and thinking about my country Italy and how many were dying there, worrying when I would see my parents again and my sisters, and what was about to happen in UK.
"I have never written about Italy and what it means to be away from my country, but then back in April, I felt I needed to respond to what was happening to the world outside and in my mind. I know that these are the experiences shared by many others."
Bright Azzuro Sea provides a glimpse into the lives of an Italian mother and her three daughters, who live in the UK.
With humour and a bit of drama, the play explores family relations during the lockdown, while touching upon themes of freedom, isolation, migration, and the Italian diaspora.
It also invites us to collectively reflect on the challenges presented by the current pandemic and the resilience of families and communities, especially as experienced by women and those living apart, and in different countries.
The professional acting cast includes recent East 15 graduate Faye Bishop while Essex film student Maria Karma Christodoulou worked as film editor on the project and LiFTS graduate Fabiana Sforza was Rehearsal Director.
Dr Mazzilli said: "The Mercury Online Festival is giving me the opportunity to share this story. I have had a wonderful team of creatives and performers from around the country.
"They gave their time and shared their passion for theatre and performing arts to tell the story of these three daughters, who are talking over a digital platform to their mum back in Italy during the lockdown. There have been many challenges in producing this short piece remotely, but it has been totally worth it."

Hiking is a fantastic way to get your heart rate up without having to lug yourself all the way to the gym. Whether you're wanting to enjoy the nice outdoor weather while you're at home or looking to explore the terrain when you're visiting somewhere new, hiking can be the best exercise.
In my opinion, there's nothing better than a long, hard hike with beautiful views and a delicious snack waiting at the end. The only issue is deciding what snack to bring to keep your pack light. That's why I've compiled this list to help you decide the best snack for your next outing.
Hummus is a protein-packed dip that can fuel long hikes and veggies are a great way to replenish nutrients and water that you lose while sweating. Choose bright veggies of all colors like peppers, cucumbers, and carrots to reflect the beauty of the nature around you while you're hiking.
Yosemite National Park is over 700,000 acres, covering a huge variety of elevations and ecosystems. If Yosemite, home to Half Dome and El Capitan, is your favorite national park, you're a fan of variety.
That's why granola is the best snack for you to bring on a hike. It's customizable and light, perfect for gradually fueling a long hike.
If you've been to Yellowstone National Park, it's pretty much a guarantee that you've seen their free ranging herds of bison and elk.For a hiking snack that reminds you of watching the wildlife, try some jerky. Go ahead and splurge on this good stuff, made from 100% grass-fed bison with organic spices.
Zion Canyon National Park is made up of some pretty rough terrain and home to only the hardiest animals due to the unpredictable weather.
Energy bites are a great snack for fans of the thorny beauty that Zion has to offer. They're a hearty, reliable snack that can be customized and easily packed away for a hike.
Roasted Chickpeas are a light, healthy snack that's packed with protein to fuel your long hikes, like the ones you would like on the beautiful beaches and cliffs of Olympic National Park. You can pretty much add whatever spices you'd like, but if it's a little chilly outside, I'd recommend some cayenne to add some heat to your hiking snack.
With Yellowstone only 10 miles to the north, Grand Teton National Park is sadly overlooked as the smaller, newer park.Nutella may be a relative newcomer to the hiking snack category, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be the go-to option for dipping pretzels in on your next hike.Enjoy the stunning beauty of Grand Teton shooting up in the air while you take a moment to treat yourself to the chocolatey, nutty spread that will fuel your upcoming hike.
There's no better snack when you're taking in beautiful views and breathing cold, refreshing air than something you can really bite into and chew on. Smoked salmon jerky is a delicious snack option that comes from Alaska, which has a similar climate to Glacier National Park.
If Great Smoky Mountains National Park is your favorite, I'm sure that you can appreciate some good smoked barbecue, which is popular in the southern United States where the park is located.While smoked brisket or pulled pork would be a little cumbersome to bring on a hike, these smoked almonds are a great hike-friendly alternative.
Although climbing on the Arches has been banned, all of the hiking, climbing, and simple sight-seeing activities at Arches National Park make it clear why it's some visitors' favorite.Try packing mixed nuts for your next hike. They'll remind you of the wide array of shapes the rock formations in Arches National Park have taken on over the years.
If Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is your favorite of the bunch, you're sure to be a fan of tropical fruits. Dried fruit is a great portable alternative to the fresh version. You won't have juice squirting everywhere and it's like a more flavorful version of gum to chew on while you enjoy the scenery.
If Badlands National Park is your favorite, you have to enjoy a dry, hot climate. When you're hiking, you should bring along some cinnamon apple chips.You can make them at home or buy them from Trader Joe's ahead of a hike for a crunchy snack that's a little sweet and spicy. Plus, it's much healthier than your average chip.
If you've never tried frozen grapes, you're missing out. My personal favorite activity is to eat them while relaxing in the hot tub. That's almost as relaxing as it would be to snack on them at Hot Springs National Park after a long hike.
Fans of Rocky Mountain National Park are likely recurring visitors due to the park's large network of trails. Or maybe if hiking isn't your thing, you visit for the rock climbing and mountaineering.
Either way, if you're on strenuous hikes you'll want to fuel them properly with hearty snacks like clif bars. For those DIY types, you can even try this recipe to make your own.
Since the National Park Service was established just over 100 years ago, visitors have been flowing in to enjoy the pristinely preserved ecosystems.The best way to experience a National Park is to grab a snack and hit the trails. Hopefully I've made the decision of what snack to pack a little easier.


Note: I have been using version control for 10+ years and had the great misfortune of teaching CVS to arts majors before distributed version control was a thing. This workshop is being turned into an O'Reilly book. Yay!

Collectors Athanasoglou Nikolaos Monastery of Saint John of Rila
Monastery of Saint John of Rila
Rila Monastery, Kyustendil, Bulgaria
We are in the Monastery of Saint John of Rila, the largest and most famous Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria. It is located in the Rila Mountains, at an altitude of 1,147 meters and 117 kilometers south of the capital, Sofia, in the deep valley of the Rilska River.
The film opens with the monastery and the parking lot where the filmmaker is. We see a woman getting into a car as well as parked tourist buses. The lens shows us a short shot of the Rila mountain range and then the monastery's courtyard.
We see the imposing buildings, the central church and the Tower of Hrelyu as behind them we can see the snow-capped mountain peaks. The monastery was founded in the 10th century and is one of the most important cultural, historical and architectural monuments of Bulgaria and an important tourist attraction for both Bulgaria and Southern Europe. In 1976 it was declared a national historical monument of Bulgaria and in 1983 it was classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The view changes with shots of the murals in the outer corridors as well as views of the buildings. We see a stream since Rila is the source of some of the biggest rivers of the Balkans, such as Evros, Iskar and Nestos and we get back into the monastery's courtyard.
The film closes with the camera focused on a monk who talks to the visitors, a general shot of the courtyard with the snowy mountain and the woman admiring the view.

It promotes gender equality in the society and the country's development.
It is necessary for the growth of society, nation, and the family.
Indian constitution also has an act Right to Equality, which empowers women in India.
The main reason which hinders women's empowerment is Poverty, Illiteracy, and Violence.
Education is most important to empower women in the country.
The subject of empowerment of women has become a burning issue all over the world, including India, for the last few decades.
Women Empowerment helps in reducing female foeticide, which is a punishable offense and still practiced a lot.

Which also brought a lot of gains socially and economically.
It helps in securing the Right of Women in India, thereby maintaining their social status in society.

It also allows women to contribute to the nation and let them join the army, social service, politics, corporate sector, etc.
Women Empowerment should mainly focus in rural areas as most of the India population lives in the village, and people in the village don't allow women to study or doing jobs.
The government has also launched various schemes focusing only on the Empowerment of Women in India like 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao,' 'Ujjawala Scheme,' 'Rashtriya Mahila Kosh,' 'Digital Laado,' etc.
The subject of empowerment of women has become a burning issue all over the world, including India, for the last few decades. Many agencies of the United Nations in their report emphasized that gender issues be given utmost priority.
Gender equality is, first and foremost, a human right to live in freedom from need, and fear empowering women is also an indispensable tool for advancing development and reducing poverty.
Importance and Advantages of Women Empowerment
Empowered women contribute to the health and productivity of whole family and community and improved prospects for the next generation gender equality is acknowledged as being a key to achieve the other seven goals that discrimination against women and girls, including gender-based violence, economic discrimination, reproductive health, inequalities, and harmful traditional practices remains the most pervasive and persistent form of inequality women and girls.
Collection and supporting projects that improve women's health and expand their choices in life despite many international agreements performing their Human Rights women are still likely to be much poor and illiterate than men.
The surprising ability of women to control their fertility is fundamental to women's empowerment and equality when a woman can plan her family; she can plan the rest of her life too.
Gender equality means or implies a society in which women and men enjoy the same opportunities outcome rights and obligations in all spheres of life.
Equality between men and women exists when both of them can share equally in the distribution of power and influence have equal opportunities for financial independence through work or through setting up a business and enjoy equal access to education and the opportunity to develop personal ambitions.
A critical Express of promoting gender equality is the empowerment of women with a focus on identifying and addressing power in the lenses and giving women more autonomy to manage their own lives.
Although they may be justified as being required by the culture of the religion, there is also very widely by locality and change over time.
What Exists for Men is Demanded by Women?
They have not demanded much but just equality with men in the matter of education employment inheritance marriage politics and recently in the field of relations also to serve as a cleric in Hinduism or Islam religion.
Woman wants to have the same strategy for themself of change which menfolk have had over the centuries, such as equal pay for equal work.
In addition to the above rights in India, the customs of Purdah (Veil system) female infanticide, child marriage, Sati system, self-immolation by the women with their husbands', dowry system, and the state of permanent widowhood were either removed or checked to a considerable extent after independence through the legislative measure.
Implementation to Support Women Empowerment
Women empowerment is essential to make the bright future of the family society, and country women need fresh and more capable environment so that they can make their own decisions in every area whether for themselves family society or country to make the country fully developed country women empowerment is an essential tool to get the goal of development.
Bringing women empowerment in our society, it needs to understand and eliminate the leading cause and ill practices against women, which are patriarchal and male dominated systems of society.
It needs to be open-minded and change the old mindsets against women together with the constitutional and other legal provisions.
Women and girls bear enormous hardship during and after humanitarian emergencies, especially armed conflicts, there have been several organizations and Institutions advocating for women promoting legal and policy reforms and gender-sensitive data.
Humans usually have less than men to medical care property ownership credit training and employment; they are less likely than men to be politically active and far more likely to be victims of domestic violence.
The surprising ability of women to control their fertility is fundamental to women's empowerment and equality when a woman can plan her family, and she can plan the rest of her life too.
When a woman is healthy, you can be more productive and when her reproductive rights including the right to decide the number timing and spacing of for children and to make decisions regarding reproduction free of discrimination and violence and chromatid and protected she has the freedom to participate more fully and equality in the society.
Population development and reproductive health programs are more useful when they are addressing the educational opportunities, status, and empowerment of women when women are empowered full family benefits.
And these benefits often have ripple effects on future generations also, the rules that men and women play in society are not biologically determined; they are socially determined to change and changeable.
What Exists For Women demand men?

Their quest for equality has given birth to the formation of many women's associations and the launching of moments at different levels.
The position and status of women all over the world has rights in incredibly in the 20th century we find that heat has been very low in the 18th and 19th century in India and elsewhere when they were treated like objects that can be bought or sold for a long time women in India remained within the four walls of their household and were dependent on menfolk.
The long struggle of years going back over a century has not women's property rights voting rights and equality in civil rights before the law in the matter of marriage and employment (in India women had not to struggle for voting rights as we find in other countries).
In addition to the above rights in India, the customs of aur wale system female infanticide child marriage Sati system self-immolation by the women with their husbands' dowry system and the state of permanent widowhood were either removed or checked to a considerable extent after independence through the legislative measure.
There are many formulating strategies and initiating process started by the government of India to bring women into the mainstream of development women constitutes half the population of the whole countries population and need to be independent in every area for the holistic development of women and children.
Women give birth to the baby means the future of the nation so only they can better involved in making the bright future of the country through the proper growth and development of the children women need to be empowered instead of treating as a helpless victim of male chauvinism.
Recent Case Which Shows Backwardness of Indian Society
In order to provide safety to women and reduce crime against women in India government has passed another act Juvenile Justice (care and protection of children) bill 2015, especially after Nirbhaya's case when accused Juvenile was released.
This is the replacement earlier Indian Juvenile delinquency law of 2000 (Juvenile Justice (Care and protection of children) Act, 2000) to reduce the Juvenile age from 18 to 16 years in cases of heinous offenses.

Multicultural Glasgow: Imagining Scotland as a Space of Cultural Intersection in
Scots-Asian Films of the 2000s
Emily Torricelli
Abstract: In films, even contemporary ones posing alternatives to the mythic representations of Scotland, Scottish identity is often constructed as homogeneous and white. Though a small number of films have been made addressing Scotland's white minority groups, it is not until the 2000s that filmmakers such as Ken Loach and Pratibha Parmar began to explore non-white Scottish identities. This article explores the ways the former's Ae Fond Kiss… (2004) and the latter's Nina's Heavenly Delights (2006) construct hybrid, plural Scottish identities by first considering the way the two films construct these identities, and then by considering the how the identities constructed were received by film critics. Ae Fond Kiss… suggests that racial and ethnic minorities understand "Scottishness" in varied ways that are often influenced by gender, whereas, for Nina's Heavenly Delights, race, gender, and sexuality are some of the many identities that are united in the Scottish nation. In support of the plural and hybrid Scotlands these two films construct, film critics, despite the complications of genre, strongly label both as Scottish films, which suggests they understand Scotland as a diverse or hybrid place or culture.

Antarctica: A Birthday of Sorts, The Antarctic Treaty
It was on December 1 st , 1959, that the international community signed an agreement with some important principles. The treaty was signed in Washington by the twelve countries whose scientists had been active there during the International Geophysical Year of 1957 – 58. Since then, many other countries have signed on and the total is now 54.
Two principles stand out. First, that "Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only," and second, "freedom of scientific investigation … and cooperation … shall continue."
And those principles and others added since then, have continued over the decades since.
Unlike the North Pole, which is ocean surrounded by land, the South Pole [Antarctica] is exactly the opposite. It is land surrounded by water, the Southern Ocean. And this land has an enormous amount of ice on it in the form of glaciers and snow fields.
Indeed, Antarctica is about 1.5 times the size of the United States and its' ice sheets average about 1.2 miles in thickness. It also holds the record for the lowest measured temperature on Earth, -128.6 degrees F. Yes, that is a minus in front of the number.
So, what is the concern? Consistent with our enormous emissions of greenhouse gases, the Southern Ocean is warming just a bit, but it is causing trouble.
The density of ice is about 90% of the water it sits in, so if we see an iceberg that is about 100 feet above the waters surface, it means that about 900 feet of ice extends below the surface. So, when we have a glacier flowing into the ocean that is hundreds of feet above the water surface, it means that the ice sheet flowing into the ocean from the land sits directly on the ocean floor. And that ocean floor is not smooth. It is rough with hills, valleys, ridges and even mountains and the seaward flow of this ice sheet is slowed and held back by these irregular raised surfaces.
Until very recently, [last year or two], the research in this area was confined to the surface of the ice sheet or to bore holes drilled into the ice. Now however, uncrewed or robotic submarine studies are being made from the seafloor where the glaciers contact the sea floor.
See photo [courtesy of Alex Mazur/British Antarctic Survey] of the research vessel, RV Nathaniel B. Palmer, where the scientists controlled the uncrewed submarine.
What they are finding is that the warmer ocean waters are circulating under the seaward edges of this 74,000 square mile glacier, named Thwaites, and melting it from underneath or the bottom. It is loosening it from its contact with the ocean floor. The forward portion is no longer "pinned" or anchored to the sea floor. This work was published April 9, 2022 in the journal "Scientific Advances."
And its speed of flow into the ocean is increasing.
Hence its official name Thwaites Glacier, is now nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier."
See map of Antarctica from Wikipedia. The Thwaites Glacier is in the central portion of West Antarctica and flows into the Amundson Sea on the left central portion of the map.
Just above this section on the map, and nearby, lies the Pine Island Glacier which is also subject to melting from the bottom by these warmer Southern Ocean waters. This work was also published recently in the journal "The Cryosphere" on March 25, 2022.
See expanded map of this part of West Antarctica showing Thwaites Glacier and the Pine Island Ice Shelf.
More work is planned and needs to be done to fully grasp the extent, speed and likelihood of this glacial melt on sea level rise. The concern is that it would be significant and could happen this century.
The World Meteorological Organization [WMO] published a provisional "State of the Global Climate Report" in November 2022 to coincide with the Climate Conference at Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt. In it they highlight a number of concerns such as the "the last 8 years are the warmest in the climate record", along with a litany of heatwaves, drought, melting glaciers and also, rising sea levels.
See graph, labeled on top, "Global Mean Sea Level," with the left side axis labeled, "Sea Level [mm]" from this WMO report. The time in years is along the bottom portion of this graph. It shows that the rate of sea level rise has increased significantly in each of the last three decades. It has more than doubled from the Jan 1993-Dec 2002 rate of 2.1 millimeters [mm] per year, to 4.4 mm per year for the Jan 2013-Aug 2022 period.
Not good. If the current research findings are confirmed, this rate of sea level rise will continue and cause severe problems in coastal areas globally.
Let's briefly look at the other side of the climate ledger. The positive side.
The 2021 Inflationary Reduction Act [IRA] has electric vehicle charger stations incorporated into it. The Act will enable the installation of 500,000 chargers in all 50 states and plans for all states have been approved. The goal is to have a charging station every 50 miles on all major highways. This will significantly reduce fossil fuel consumption and associated carbon emissions.
In 2022 through July, 71% of all new U.S. power generation was comprised of solar and wind. This will also reduce carbon emissions.
The climate accountants have their hands full trying to balance these books.
And so it goes …

Ghen Maynard is a television producer and Senior Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, at CBS Studios.  Maynard played a key role in the introduction of European reality shows to the American television market.

Early career
In 1988, Maynard received a degree in psychology from Harvard University and pursued a career in publishing at Houghton Mifflin Company.

It was as a post-production coordinator at ABC Productions that Maynard began in television.  Maynard joined CBS's drama department as an assistant in 1995, then manager in 1997, helping to develop such series as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Reality TV
Maynard's championing of the reality series Survivor led to his promotion to head of CBS's nascent alternative programming department, where he is credited with developing The Amazing Race, the US version of Big Brother and UPN's America's Next Top Model. Maynard ultimately rose to the level of Senior Vice President, Alternative Programming & Creative Strategies at CBS before leaving for NBC in 2004 to become head of development for scripted programming.

After two years as Executive Vice President, Primetime Development, NBC Entertainment, Maynard returned to CBS to take oversight of the alternative programming and new media content departments for CBS, as well as alternative programming for the CW Television Network and CBS Paramount Network Television, CBS Corporation's television production studio. But after shows such as Greatest American Dog, Armed & Famous, Secret Talents of the Stars failed to garner ratings, Maynard was let out of his CBS contract 10 months early in 2008. Soon after, CW's senior vice president of alternative programming Jennifer Bresnan took on the role of CBS's senior vice president of alternative programming.

After CBS

In August 2011, Maynard placed 54th in the WPT Legends of Poker event. He cashed out with $700.

Each time there is a reference to the "Networks" in my stories, the reference has a larger meaning than the late 20th century standard. While the "Networks" used to refer to the national broadcast television networks (also sometimes stretched to include radio); in the future, the reference is beyond one-way broadcasts, beyond the single entity that was the World Wide Web for decades.
The Networks in the future sense evolved out of the cellular phone industry. Once our phones morphed into internet and entertainment access devices, the phone networks (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and the smaller local offerings) evolved into interactive entertainment and communications networks. As the competition for users grew, the pay per person service eventually disappeared. The Networks gain their revenue by competing to offer the demographics who prefer their graphics and services while shopping, paying for virtual services, looking up businesses, networking opportunities, job searches and so much more. People then had the freedom to access all of these new Networks through their personal Network Pads and at public access points built into virtually all imaginable surfaces.
The generic term for a personal network access point. The size, shape and display comes in a wide variety. Most people carry a future cross between an old-fashioned smart phone and tablet PC. Others have that access though their sunglasses and built into their clothing in some cases.
The tabletops, desktops, bar surfaces, park picnic tables, retaining walls, elevator doors, and even the backs of toilet stalls are all places you will find Network access touch screens.
Waitresses can display your bill on your table when they pick up your dishes and you can drag and drop that bill into your bank account that your bio signature would have accessed the moment you touched your bill.
Someone trying to call you. If you have a network pad in your pocket, it will flash a message on your tabletop or toilet stall wall; and though it is rude, some people do initiate a two-way talk with video even while still sitting on the toilet for personal business (thankfully most people still prefer to go outside before returning a call).


So you've found the perfect car, now you need to develop the money. If you have excellent credit, that's not an issue. However since the average credit rating in America no longer can even receive a loan, driving house in your brand-new car is not as simple any longer. But there are resources offered that will enable you to obtain the cash you require without paying high rate of interest.
On the 4 line earnings and loss statement on these programs they never ever pointed out short-term capital gains (or any capital gains for that matter). When you acquire genuine estate as a financial investment and hold it less than one year, you will need to pay a short-term gain on your earnings. The short-term capital gain will be taxed as individual earnings. The tax rate will depend upon which tax bracket you fall. Say goodbye to 28% to 44% of that revenue on your line 4 of the A&E P&L!
To enhance your current score and credit-rating, you need to delete negative details on your file and control risky financial activities that deplete your score.
That leaves you with having to develop cash to buy a new cars and truck or begging friends and family to loan you cash. However there are other resources available that most individuals don't know exists. You don't have to seek hard moneylenders or personal cash people in order to get an automobile loan for bad credit. You just require to understand where to discover them.
Jesus' response was direct. He did not need any bible, any religious tenet, dogma, or teaching to support him, whereas, the priests, the scholars are not constantly confident of their own statements. They must have the assistance of the bibles. It is easy to state but difficult to practice.
A great deal of banks directly deny providing rehab loans for numerous wholesale homes because of this factor. IF the residential or commercial property required a lot of work, there's an opportunity that the buyer may ignore the property and the bank will be left to fix up the property and resell it.
Their greatest benefit is that their entire decision making procedure is personal and they keep their own paper. They do not sell files to other investors like the Wall Street. They assume main ownership of residential or commercial property and provide rehab loans to financiers that need financing for purchase of the home as well as the repair work.

A Hijacking
Stories of Somali pirates hijacking ships and holding people hostage for months regularly make the news bulletins but rarely seem to make it to the big screen. Which is odd considering that foreigners waving guns about in front of frightened innocents' faces is a staple of cinema.
Enter A Hijacking (original title: Kapringen), a Danish offering that welds a cast familiar to viewers of Danish TV sensation Borgen to a twin-track plot – one half takes place on the high seas, the other back at base where negotiations for the hostages' release are taking place. The result is a drama so involving that, though I'd dragged myself to the cinema with a heavy cold, for just over 100 minutes I didn't care a bit.
The writer/director, Tobias Lindholm, also has Borgen previous, and he's working to his strengths. A Hijacking is a strongly procedural drama in which human interaction and the divination of character is the driver. It's probably best to say right now that there's no Steven Seagal Under Siege business, just in case you were hoping for a knock-off Die Hard with eyebrow-raised "I also cook" payoff dialogue.
The plot is simple. Out on the Indian Ocean a ship is preparing to head back home when it's boarded by a gang of gun-happy pirates. With them they've brought a negotiator who can speak English. Back in Copenhagen company boss Peter Ludvigsen (Søren Malling) – a ball-breaking businessman with take-no-prisoners negotiating skills – is suddenly presented with a situation he has no experience of. Except, in his estimation, he has. He's a deal-maker, after all. So, ignoring advice to get in a go-between who does this sort of thing for a living, Peter decides to go it alone and get his men out alive, but at a price that won't hurt the company.
As I said, the film has a double focus – out on the high seas, where the ship's cook Mikkel (Pilou Asbaek), an affable bear, is our increasingly faltering surrogate, and back at base, where Peter is trying to screw down the price without screwing up entirely.
The double-focus procedural is a tricky act to pull off – Apollo 13 does it memorably, but most films that try it fail doubly. A Hijacking succeeds because it decides early on which of its two locations is key – and it's the boardroom. This puts all concerned in familiar Borgen territory, of personal drama, procedure and millimetre-precise acting, rather than running, gunplay and "move, move, move!" dialogue.
That's a wise decision. In the film's favour, is the fact that as viewers we've no problem at all working out where we are, hairy Norwegian sailors in vests being instantly distinguishable from suited-and-booted steel-haired chaps in wire-frame spectacles. The natural colour palette – tweaked by cinematographer Magnus Nordenhof Jønck's unshowy filtration – makes things doubly obvious. All is cool and Nordic back in Denmark, bright and warm out in the Indian Ocean.
One odd bit of casting turns out to be in the film's favour too. Gary Porter playing Connor, Peter's advisor in Copenhagen is, it turns out, not an actor at all but a real-life negotiator in "hostage situations". I'm not sure he intended this to be the case but he's killingly believable early on in meetings when he's gleaning information from the ship, intel which he then translates back to Peter and his team in management-speak, having, in the process, added no value whatsoever.
Søren Malling as Peter
There's a parallel advisor/negotiator, out on the ship, a shifty Somali (possibly) named Omar who is all wide-eyed claims that he's as much a hostage as the crew, that he's a man brought in by the pirates to do a job. Whether he is or isn't is one of the real masterstrokes of the film, and the acting of Abdihakin Asgar as Omar is also one of the film's real joys – what a plausible silver-tongued piece of work he is.
This film works because it avoids the Seagal-style stuff entirely, opting instead for realism which would verge on the boring – men lying on bunks, sleeping and so on – if it hadn't set up its tense throughline so well.
You could take issue with the passing of time in A Hijacking. Some people on the way out of the screening I was at certainly did. We're at three days into the hijacking, then a couple of weeks, then three months, then six months and so on, without any real sense of time passing. The men's beards don't seem to grow much, for instance.
It didn't bother me. I was too tightly held by the film's basic coin-flip premise – will Peter, by playing hardball with his insanely low offers of ransom money, get his men killed? Or will the Somalis take a much much lower price than they're asking for – they want $19 million, Peter's offering $250,000?
On this question of the price of men's lives the whole film turns. And what a tense, realistic turn it is.

Q: Is API related code will be present in default magento pack? in the default magento pack , means including app to var.
Is all the code related to APIs will be present ?
Means is there any web services/API related code will be there in default pack.
for example , for getting shipping methods as we are using this API : shoppingCartShippingList() , to support these API's is there any code will be present in default pack ?

A: Most of the API related functionalities are present in default pack. However to or not to enable those Magento API can be configured from Magento Backend. Magento API also has some of the limitation. I have been lately working myself with Magento API and it has limitation that it does not give any information in group attributes. There could be other limitation as well but I haven't been able to explore them yet.
The default pack comes with both Versions1.x and Version2 of Magento API, XML-RPC based and SOAP based. You can choose one that you are comfortable with. I have successfully utilized the XML-RPC based calls to consume the Magento 1.x API.
visit https://www.magentocommerce.com/api/soap/sales/salesOrder/salesOrder.html to see the example sales order.

Q: Many errors in WAMP for php on a specific PC I have installed WAMP server to work on php, but there are some issues. First of all, the WAMP icon doesn't turns green as i start WAMP, it remains red/orange all the time, I have tried many things but nothing worked. To be more clear, although the icon remains orange it opens localhost and phpMyAdmin in the browser, but when I try to access my php files it shows many weird errors (syntax and others). Those files run on other systems perfectly so there should be no such error on my system. Some errors are:
Notice: Undefined index: uid in C:\wamp\www\MI\accesscontrol.php on line 17

And
Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in C:\wamp\www\MI\rs.php on line 2

These errors don't occur on other PCs.
Please suggest something to fix both icon and error issues.
Thanks!

A: Any error starting with :-
Notice: Undefined index:

are errors that do exist on your other system(s) but you have configured the other server Not to show errors its how a LIVE server should be configured but not how a Development server should be configured. WAMPServer is of course a development server.
It either shows the code was developed badly, or on a live server where errors are not shown to the screen. However check the live servers php_error.log and they will be shown in there, assuming that was not also turned off.
Anyway the correct solution is to Fix the Errors while the quick and dirty solution is to tell PHP not to show these errors to the screen.
Edit php.ini (using the wampmanager menus ) and find this line
display_errors = On

and change it to
display_errors = Off

The errors starting
Deprecated:

Are showing because the code was developed in an older version of PHP and the code being used contains code that will soon be removed from PHP.
So again the correct solution would be to refactor the code to use either the MYSQLI_ or PDO extensions to get to a MySQL database. If there is not time to do this, you can stop these errors being generated with another change to the php.ini file
Find this line
error_reporting = E_ALL

and change it to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

Now there is the issue of the Wampmanager icon not moving to a GREEN state.
If the wampmanager icon stays ORANGE then one of the services ( wampapache or wampmysqld) has not started correctly. As you can see localhost I would suggest that it is MYSQL that has not started. If that is the case, look at mysql log ( using wampmanager menus) or if that is empty, the "Windows Event Log"  for error messages from MYSQL.
You may need to ask another question if you cannot work out a solution to that error, but a couple of things to look for are :-

*

*Have you got another MySQL running on your PC

*Is there a rouge my.ini in the C:/windows folder somewhere. If so delete it.


It was another good week for the Public Action Report last week. Two out of the three teams we picked covered the spread. Interestingly, both teams were outright winners despite being 5.5- and nine-point underdogs. This football betting philosophy has been working well in recent weeks, which is notable given how topsy-turvy the rest of college football has been. There look to be four games - two in college and two in the NFL - which grab my attention this week.
South Florida (-4) at Connecticut (Saturday, Oct. 27, 3:30 p.m.) - The public obviously seems to like the Bulls more than the books do. That's because 86 percent of bets on this game have been on South Florida. Despite the overwhelmingly one-sided support, the line started at 5.5 and has fallen to four. Rutgers knocked South Florida from the ranks of the undefeated last weekend, and the media covered it heavily. Less publicly known is that Huskies are also a close loss, one point to Virginia in their case, away from being undefeated. The Huskies have an under-appreciated defense. They effectively shut down Louisville last week, and are balanced enough to give the Bulls' offense troubles. West Virginia was able to shake Matt Grothe and get him off his game, and the Connecticut defense is similarly effective. There's also the issue of how the Bulls will bounce back from what had to be a crushing defeat. Based on the line movement, Connecticut is clearly worth a look.
Utah (-5.5) at Colorado State (Saturday, Oct. 27, 5:30 p.m.) - Utah has 83 percent of the public action, yet the line has dropped from the opening point of 6.5 down to 5.5. The Utes were very frustrating early in the season, covering just one of their first five games. That one cover, though, showed much promise - a 44-6 blowout win over UCLA as 15-point underdogs. Since then they have covered three games in a row, including two underdog wins, and have rounded into form. It's the kind of improvement, though, that gets the public attention. They upset Louisville on the road as 14.5-point underdogs. The problem, though, is that a lot of what they have done isn't as impressive as it may seem. Beating Louisville and TCU sounds a lot better than it actually is given the performance of the teams. Colorado State covered their last game after failing to cover four straight. That win was interesting though - they beat UNLV, 48-23. That same team beat Utah 27-0 a month ago. That could be a good reason why the books don't seem afraid to have action on Utah. That makes Colorado State worthy of some attention.
New York Giants (-9.5) vs Miami in London (Sunday, Oct. 28, 1:00 p.m.) - It's not at all surprising that the public is overwhelmingly on the Giants, with 92 percent of bets placed going towards Eli Manning and Co. The Giants are rounding into form as one of the few members of the elite in the NFC. The Dolphins are truly awful, and had key losses on both sides of the ball last week. There is little to like about them, and little reason to think that Cleo Lemon will have anything other than a very long day when faced with New York's pass rush. Given that, it is very surprising that this line opened at the key number of 10 and has fallen to 9.5. I'll be honest and admit that I have no idea why the line has moved as it has. I guess we could put it down to the uncertainty of how a team will react to playing in a different country, or how the disrupted practice schedules and time zones the trip involves will affect the players, or perhaps that the pride of Miami players may be enough for them to bounce back from the embarrassment last week against New England and try to get a win. I'm not sure I buy any of those explanations, but what I do know is that I would expect action this one-sided to send the line rocketing upwards, not dropping slightly. Beyond normal reasoning, then, Miami is worth a look.
New Orleans Saints (-1) at San Francisco 49ers (Sunday, Oct. 28, 4:15 p.m.) - Almost two-thirds of bets on this game have been placed on Reggie Bush and the Saints, but the line has dropped from the key number of three to one. As we have discussed many times, it is particularly notable when a key number is involved, and especially when it is three, and the line moves so far away from it contrary to what would normally be expected. After a rough start, the Saints have won two in a row. The last win against Atlanta was hardly overwhelming, though. San Francisco's fate has been the opposite - they won their first two games, and have been winless since. This seems to me to be a case where the game should be a basic coin flip given the problems both sides have had, yet the public is overwhelmingly on one side. That is probably not logical in this circumstance. That, coupled with the line movement, makes San Francisco worthy of a look.
