Answering Your Questions: Monday Morning Mail Call
By John Fennelly | Mar 11, 2013 | 10:18AM
Got a few questions I will try to address for you this morning.....
Do you think the Giants will take a LB high in the draft this year?
Let's see....after having a rich history at LB back in the day, their track record for drafting linebackers the past thirty years has not been very good. In fact, it stinks. The last LB of worth they got out of the draft was Jesse Armstead in 1993, and he was taken in Round 8, which means he would not have been drafted in today's seven-round format.

Saturday Morning Report: Quiet and Ice
By John Fennelly | Jan 26, 2013 | 9:35AM
Hey, football weather is finally here in NY. The only thing missing now is the football. Even if the Giants were in it this year, this would be the quietest week of the season. ?Unless you plan on watching the Pro Bowl (let me know how that goes). ?The Manning brothers, who are both in Hawaii this week, have vowed to restore legitimacy to the Pro Bowl, which has become a running joke the past decade or so.
"The past two years, the play in this game has been unacceptable," Peyton Manning said. "If it was a walkthrough, your coach would say it was a bad walkthrough. And that's why (the league) could try to cancel this game."
Speaking of brothers.....The Harbaugh Bowl is not off to a great start from a fan-interest perspective. First off the brothers are among the least-liked coaches around the league. Jim has been cagey with the media and John is a low key guy. Both are passionate, intelligent and not going anywhere for a long time. Their players and fans love them, the rest of the league not so much (I chalk that up to jealousy)....too bad because this is a historic event.

Fennelly on Football: Ross to Jets? Vikings, Redskins Make Questionable Moves
By John Fennelly | Jan 7, 2013 | 8:51AM
Good morning. The first Monday in many months we come to you with very little Giants-related news. A little depressing, I know.....
**The Giants announced over the weekend they were no longer going to hold training camp at the University of Albany. Camp will be held at the Timex Performance Center beginning this summer. We like this move. I had said last summer that the Albany trip was becoming inconvenient for everyone: players, coaches, the team and the media. The fans were the only ones who benefited. It no longer made sense from financial and logistics perspectives to uproot the entire infrastructure for 14 practice sessions.?
**Marc Ross, the team's director of college scouting, will interview for the Jets' GM vacancy today and for the same position with the Panthers tomorrow. In both cases, Ross would be inheriting the prior regime's head coach: Rex Ryan with the Jets and Ron Rivera in Carolina. Both owho ners have stated the coaches would be back in 2013.

The Playoff Bus is Boarding. Will the Giants Be On It?
By John Fennelly | Dec 19, 2012 | 8:48AM
As we enter into Week 16, the Giants are facing their annual season-defining game - the one we'll be referring to for years to come when quantifying 2012.
It could be simply "The Ravens game," going forward if they win. If they lose it could take on a personality of it's own, such as 1978's "The Fumble", "The Music City Meltdown" of 2006 or The Implosion" vs the Eagles in 2010.
With the Ravens tanking right now, the game could go either way. It may be a case of who plays worse rather than who plays better. Baltimore was 9-2 and flying high in the AFC North before losing their last three. QB Joe Flacco has likened them to an "0-14 team" rather than one that is headed toward the playoffs - which they are.

Friday Morning Report: Giants Prepare for Redskins
Working on a Monday night schedule is a bit strange for the Giants. Thursday is the Wednesday, Friday is Thursday, etc. Tom Coughlin held his presser yesterday and outlined what the team's plans were: take one game at a time but this next one vs Washington was the "most important game of the season" for his team. He is under no illusions. The Redskins are one of the league's hottest clubs right now:
"We?re excited. In the division, against the Washington Redskins, obviously a team that?s won two games in a row in the division, and feel very good about themselves. Following our game with them, they lost a couple of tough games to Pittsburgh and to Carolina, and they bounced back and scored 69 points in the last two weeks, so obviously they do have the ability to score. They?re 12, they?re offense is seventh overall, 26.8 points per game. They do an outstanding job of that. Defensively, they?re third in the league against the run. They?ve always been a very difficult, sticky, team against the run. Their pressure package has been turned up a little bit in the last couple weeks; that?s how we remember them playing. They?ve forced 22 turnovers. They have 14 interceptions. They?ve done an outstanding job along those lines. As I said, they?re 12, we?re 13. They?re 11th in kickoff coverage. They?re sixth in punt coverage. They have Banks as the outstanding returner. They have a well-rounded football team and we?re anxious to get back out on the field and start to work against this Washington Redskin team."
The Giants defeated the Redskins 27-23 in their first meeting in Week 7. They needed last-minute heroics from QB Eli Manning and WR Victor Cruz to pull out the win. Yesterday, Manning was asked what he needs to do better this time around:

Tuesday Morning Report: Giants Suddenly Shallow at RB
The Giants' big win over Green Bay left the team and the fans optimistic that a legitimate title defense is still a real possibility. No win comes without a cost, however, and Sunday's high was immediately tempered by reality that RB Andre Brown will miss the rest of the season after breaking his leg against the Packers. Tom Coughlin announced yesterday the team was placing Brown on injured reserve-designated to return and surgery might be needed to aid the healing process.
"I think it?s realistic," Coughlin said when asked if he thought Brown could return this season. ?"I think it?s going to provide Andre with great incentive and we want that experience for him. He was very disappointed last night, let?s put it that way, frustrated. He?s had some seasons end in this way before and I think this is a way to, perhaps, motivate, inspire him, give him great purpose and hopefully that will help."
The developments leave the Giants perilously thin at RB. Only the injury-ridden Ahmad Bradshaw and first-round draft pick David Wilson remain on the team's active roster. They also have FB Henry Hynoski, but he has only three carries in his two years here. Coughlin said the team was exploring adding a third RB to possibly fill the open roster spot.

Fennelly on Football: Friday Morning Tidbits
By John Fennelly | Nov 23, 2012 | 10:34AM
The Detroit Lions (4-7) lost to the Houston Texans (10-1) yesterday at Ford Field in overtime, 34-31, but it was due to extenuating circumstances. Isn't that always the case with these Lions?
What happened? Click Here?
QB Matthew Stafford leads the NFL in passing yards and WR Calvin Johnson leads in receiving yards. So, how are they only 4-7? They don't put the ball in the end zone when they need to. That will do it every time. Stafford has only thrown 14 TDs to 10 INTs. WR Calvin Johnson and TE Brandon Pettigrew are in the top 10 in dropped passes this season. The Lions also are -7 in turnover ratio.

Fennelly on Football: Today's Five Points
Before the season began, Peyton Manning was rated the 50th best player in the NFL in the NFL Network's ridiculous list of the Top 100 Players of 2012. I said at the time the list was a useless exercise and as usual, I am correct. Peyton is tearing up the NFL again and his Broncos will be a force in the AFC Playoffs this coming January.
At almost every fantasy football draft around the country this past summer, Vikings' RB Adrian Peterson's name wasn't announced in the first, second or in some cases, any, rounds. He was not expected to bounce back from the ACL and MCL tears he suffered in a game last Christmas Eve. I personally didn't draft him because I, like many, felt he'd need a year off. Needless to say, I'm paying the price (Peterson is currently leading the NFL in rushing). The team in my league that drafted Peterson, btw, was unaware of his injury. What a story this is, folks....
When I interviewed Wisconsin DE JJ Watt at the NFL Draft last year, I was impressed with him both as a young man and a potential NFL star. "Who the hell is going to block this kid?" I thought to myself. "Good luck to them." ?I'm 6'3", 260 and Watt easily dwarfed me. I'm not surprised at all knowing his temperament, intelligence and ability that he has become so good, so fast.

Fennelly on Football: NFL Week 11
The Giants took the wrong week to take their bye. Not for them, they needed it, but for everyone else around here. When there is only one team playing in New York, local media outlets send more resources in that direction. That direction is Florham Park, the headquarters of Woody Johnson's New York Jets.
That media crush will ease as the Jets travel to St.Louis this weekend, where they are 3 1/2 point underdogs to the Rams - a team that has not had a winning record since 2003 and are 18-71 since 2007. If that isn't the worst record over that period, it's close. You get the point. This is where the Jets are at these days. If the NFL Draft were held tomorrow, the Jets would draft either 7th or 8th overall.
The Jets are exposed this week with the Giants on a bye. Their many troubles have bubbled to the surface, and rather than me tell tell you about them, I'll defer to the SNY experts (see left nav bar). They have it covered, ad nauseum.

Fennelly on Football: Skins Get Vertical; Pats' D Rejuvenated
By John Fennelly | Sep 10, 2012 | 8:04AM
Finally, a normal week for once. After two Wednesday games in a row, a Sunday at 1 game is on the schedule this week. Don't get used to it. ?The Giants follow this Sunday's homer against Tampa with a Thursday jaunt to Carolina and a Sunday nighter in Philly. That makes three national games in the first four weeks. The price of success, I guess.
Going into this season, the Giants looked up and down their schedule and shook their heads. The only semi-breathers are this week vs Tampa and another homer against Cleveland. The way these two teams played this week, they may prove to be tough games. The Browns had the Eagles beat yesterday up until the last minute. Tampa held Carolina to 10 yards rushing.
In addition, Washington - who had a lot of the pieces last year except QB - finally have one and they could be a force. RGIII lit up the Superdome yesterday in his NFL debut. The Giants already have problems with the Redskins and now here comes this kid like a reincarnation of Randall Cunningham, the infamous Giant killer.

Monday Afternoon Report: Ballard Could Miss Time
Head Coach Tom Coughlin said TE Jake Ballard could miss time due to a twisted knee that is now being classified as a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) sprain.
Coughlin said it was an old injury that was aggravated in yesterday's game and hopes its not a "season-ender". Ballard left the field right before halftime, but returned for the second half. He only had one catch for 15 yards on the day.
WR Devin Thomas, who was immobilized and carted off the field at halftime, has been cleared to practice. Coughlin said he has a "burner."

It's taken me all day to get around to putting down the hangover for this week. Usually, it's about a the things we didn't do the day before. Today, I'm not too concerned about those things.
Did Eli throw some passes up for grabs? Sure. Did the white shirts grab most of them? Yes...and that is what counts. Did the defense fade on the next to last drive? Yes, but they had kept the Giants in the ballgame, giving ten a chance to win it.
In a game in which the Giants were missing two of their top statistical offensive players, you could not ask for much more out of the Blue.

I wonder what they were doing yesterday about 3:45 pm...? Getting ready to jump, I imagine - but off the top of the stadium this time.

Friday Morning Hangover: Giants' Backups, Rookies Spoil Belichick's Night
After a hectic week, the Giants can finally sit back for a few days and regroup. That group is about to get smaller beginning today when the league will ask the Giants for five names. Tomorrow, 27 more will be handing in their playbooks.
One less decision to be made will be at LB, where a position is now open as the luckless Clint Sintim was declared done for the season after blowing out his knee for the second year in a row. You may not like him as a player, but you have to feel sorry for this guy.
In his the wake of Sintim's injury comes the emergence of two excellent young OLBs: Spencer Paysinger and Jacquian Williams.

Giants Thursday Morning Mashup
The Giants are in New England tonight to face the powerful Patriots in the final game of the 2011 preseason. Game time is 7:30pm. TV: Ch 4 NY; Radio: WCBS 101.1 FM.
Tom Coughlin plans on keeping his key contributors healthy, so don't count on too many of the starters playing tonight. The Patriots may play some of their big names, but they will be limited, we think...
Bill Belichick plays every game to win. He has already been told by QB Tom Brady that Brady expects to play because of the truncated preseason, and no one would be surprised if that happens. Belichick uses every opportunity to scout and measure opponents...the Giants are scheduled to be back in Foxborough on Nov 6 for a regular season contest...

The Giants will be back on the practice field today in preparation for their game with the Jets this Saturday. The talk at TIMEX these days is, of course, injuries.
Yesterday, two more joined the legion headed for season-ending IR: CB Brian Witherspoon, who tore an ACL on o punt return in Monday's game vs Chicago and DT Marvin Austin, who will miss the 2011 season with a torn pectoral muscle.
Head coach Tom Coughlin is obviously disappointed in the latest rash of injuries (add in Osi Umenyiora and Prince Amukamara and it just makes your stomach turn). He joked to reporters why no one wanted to talk about the blocked punt, then revealed the team's strategy to address the sudden dearth of experience at cornerback....

Giants Friday Morning Mashup
So Jerry Reese came out of the shadows to defend his vision on the Giants, even going as far as predicting a playoff run. Pretty bold stuff for a guy whose team lost a lot more than if gained the past month and must rely on his risky draft choices to step and fill those gaps.
As one of our readers, Tom, wrote me this morning: "Let?s give him a chance. Without a .625 winning percentage behind him, Reese?s certainty might come across as arrogant at best, delusional at worst. Until proven otherwise, it?s proper to believe Reese really does have a plan, and that he?s fiercely following that plan. He?s bought himself the right to feel better about this team than just about anyone else does. If he?s right, he?ll be more bulletproof than Clark Kent....If he?s wrong, he?s riding shotgun with Sonny Corleone."
Reese said the team did offer Kevin Boss a fair deal but he chose to go with Oakland's. Steve Smith left without giving the Giants a chance to counter. He also stated that the team has cap room if they need to bring someone in. Good, then do it....

The news gets odder and odder around here. We went from losing Osi Umenyiora and regaining Steve Smith to keeping Osi and losing Smith in the blink of an eye. Smith signed with the scourge Eagles yesterday and Osi said he would begin scrimmaging with the team next week if doctors clear him on Monday
Smith is coming back from microsurgery on his knee and his ability to play this year at full tilt is in question. The deal is only for one year, so what is Philly really gaining here?
Osi did individual drills yesterday and looked relatively sharp for a guy who hasn't worked out much and is supposedly injured....

Tom Coughlin Presser Notes 8/7
By Johnfen | Aug 8, 2011 | 5:22AM
One would think head coach Tom Coughlin's job would get easier as training camp unfolded, but somehow that doesn't seem to be happening. Injuries, holdouts and team synergy are all on the front burner for Tom these days. He is a man who loves a challenge, but I'm sure he doesn't appreciate getting tested this much, this early in training camp.
On the mindset of the team...
No, I think the mindset?s good.? The players are good about that. They?re very good about that. We?ve overcome all this stuff. We?ll do it again.

GFB Saturday Shootaround: Getting Defensive
Now that the Giants have brought in Prince Amukamara (above), there is no more peering?towards the horizon for the cavalry to arrive. It's here. The only thing that needs to happen now is for Osi Umenyiora to get on the field.
The usual structure of Giants' camp has been usurped by the unprecedented comings and goings of players and the awkward conversion of TIMEX into a summer home. ?That's calmed down the past few days. It's time to settle in and get down to business.

Could Osi or Boss End Up in Green?
With the Giants done with Osi Umenyiora and TE Kevin Boss possibly out of the Giants' price range, you have to begin to think where these two guys will end up.
The Jets are still not finished shopping in free agency. Their two main needs: a pass rusher and a second TE. Do the math.
Jets' GM Mike Tannenbaum was on WFAN this morning and did not rule out interest in Umenyiora and is still in the market for a TE after Todd Heap turned them down in favor of Arizona.

Wednesday Morning Notes
The Giants did not practice yesterday, since Tuesday is traditionally players day off. I know, they've only had three practices...welcome to the new NFL.
Osi Umenyiora will be gone soon. It's a shame his Giant career has to end this way. His agent, Tony Agnone, is currently pondering deals from several teams (we doubt it's the 21 teams Agnone claims it is) and he should have a destination for Osi by Friday or so. The sticking point is the Giants' request for a first-round pick. No takers thus far on that one....
Yesterday, the Giants added a veteran DT to their mix in Arizona's Gabe Watson, a 333-pounder who started for the Cardinals in the Super Bowl two years ago.

Looking back on the weekend, I am generally pleased with the selections the New York Football Giants made in the NFL Draft this weekend.
I knew OL was not the priority Few listened. They would rather parrot each other instead. Knowing Jerry Reese and his staff and their track record, taking an OL that would not play until 2012 made no sense to a team that has to win now.
Many tell me that Reese would have taken an OL had the Prince not fallen "into his lap". Doubtful. He didn't take one in Rounds Two or Three either.

The Winter 2016 / 2017 can be classified as normal, but in compared with the past three years ago was this winter stronger.
The condition of vegetation in the reference period depended not only on the temperature, but also on the rainfall in relation to the type of soil. Dry summer 2015, which continued by the autumn, affected the preparation for sowing winter cereals.
The establishment of crops in the year 2014 was influenced by the following course of the weather. Overall this autumn can be characterized as warm, the month November was even extremely warm. On rainfall was this season average. In August and September the precipitation total was higher than average.
The establishment of vegetation in the year 2013 was influenced by the following course of the weather. Autumn (August-September) brought plenty of rainfall. Following winter was abnormally hot, with a unique occurrence of stronger frosts, with little rainfall and largely without snow cover. The course of this winter had a positive impact on the wintering of winter crops, without sub-zero, damage.
Winter crops established in 2012 were not damaged by the winter, which was sufficiently wet, without extreme temperatures and without black frost. Following slow and cold spring delayed sowing of spring crops. Next rainy May had a positive effect on all crops. Yields of winter and spring crops were above average, only seed potatoes yields were significantly lower.
The harvest in 2011 and the subsequent establishment of vegetation were influenced by several factors. It was primarily the course of the July weather, as a result of the harvest was postponed until August and September.
The harvest of 2010 and subsequent establishment of the stands were influenced by several factors: delayed harvest and delayed removal areas for sowing of pre-cropping, lack of time for seed preparation, more difficult seedbed preparation and problems with the crop rotation.
In the year 2009, the harvest of foregoing crops proceeded relatively early during July and August owing to favourable weather, so that the majority of stands were sown in due time, in the fixed agrotechnical times.
In the year 2008, the harvest took place a little later than usual due to foul weather. Harvest was mostly finished in august, in some regions in the beginning of september.

Contemporary African art: catalogue of an exhibition of contemporary African art held at the Camden Arts Centre, London. London, New York: Studio International, 1969. 40pp. illus. (pt. color), map, ports. N7380.C76 AFA. OCLC 67732.
The 1969 Camden Arts Centre exhibition of contemporary African art was one of the first comprehensive exhibitions to focus exclusively on modern creativity from Africa. "Representative" rather than "comprehensive" would be more accurate, since only a select few artists could be included. It is a testament to the curators that virtually all of these artists have withstood the test of time and are now recognized -- twenty-odd years later -- as accomplished, successful artists: Yemi Bisiri, Jimoh Buraimoh, Dumile, Uzo Egonu, Ibrahim El Salahi, Ovia Idah, Vincent Kofi, Sidney Kumalo, Malangatana, Azaria Mbatha, Julian Motau, Iba N'Diaye, Uche Okeke, Asiru Olatunde, Bruce Onobrakpeya, Hezbon Owiti, Gerard Sekoto, Twins Seven Seven, among others. A complete list of the artists is given (pp. 34-38).


The future is bright for Flyers  Well done Boys and Girls for displaying great racing, good cameraderie and great team spirit at today's RAOB confirming our 3rd place amongst Pembrokeshire Swiming Clubs. The gala was swam by a pretty much new young team – only beaten by the two bigger clubs Pembroke & District and Haverfordwest Seals.
Another fantastic event with a good turnout of swimmers, really proud of them all they did so well. Lets hope this has boosted some confidence to encourage an overall greater gala attendance.
Special mention and congratulations to Owain B who won young outstanding boy Da iawn.


The body of a teenage Kenyan girl, whose parents say she died after being raped by British soldiers, has been exhumed by forensic experts.
The parents of Mantoi Kaunda, who was 16, say she and her sister were attacked after collecting firewood.
The girls were at Archer's Post, in a remote central part of the country close to Mount Kenya.
The UK has ordered an investigation into allegations by hundreds of Samburu and Masai women that they were raped.
British Royal Military Police Special Investigations Branch and Kenyan police have been looking into 650 claims dating from the 1980s and 90s.
Many of the women are being represented by London-based lawyer Martyn Day who has won £3.9m in compensation from Britain, for 230 nomadic herdsmen maimed by munitions left at training grounds.
The exhumation was ordered in August after a request from the Kenyan Criminal Investigations Department.
Twenty forensic experts from Kenya and the UK have travelled to the area, one of the ranges where British soldiers carried out exercises.
Mantoi Kaunda's father was present at the exhumation.
Her parents say she was six months pregnant when the attack is alleged to have taken place, and died later the same day.
The body will be reburied after tests have been carried out.
In a statement, the British High Commission said: "The Ministry of Defence takes these allegations extremely seriously and is determined to get to the truth.
"This is an unparalleled investigation, in terms of size and scope, and is being conducted with permission and full assistance of authorities in Kenya.
"The investigation is complicated by the length of time since some of the alleged incidents took place, the remoteness of the areas involved, and the volume of information gathered."

Gorillas, Orangutans, Whales too at high COVID-19 risk, news study shows
Humans are not the only species facing a potential threat from the novel coronavirus, but several critically-endangered gorillas, orangutans, gibbons, gray whales, and bottlenose dolphins as well as Chinese hamsters are also at an equal risk of getting infected, say researchers.
Domestic animals such as cats, cattle, and sheep have been found to have medium risk, and dogs, horses, and pigs were found to have a low risk for contracting the deadly disease to date.
According to a new study from the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), endangered species are predicted to be at Covid-19 risk.
An international team of scientists used genomic analysis to compare the main cellular receptor for the virus in humans called angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) in 410 different species of vertebrates, including birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.
ACE2 is normally found on many different types of cells and tissues, including epithelial cells in the nose, mouth, and lungs.
In humans, 25 amino acids of the ACE2 protein are important for the virus to bind and gain entry into cells.
The researchers used these 25 amino acid sequences of the ACE2 protein, and modeling of its predicted protein structure together with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, to evaluate how many of these amino acids are found in the ACE2 protein of the different species.
"Animals with all 25 amino acid residues matching the human protein are predicted to be at the highest risk for contracting SARS-CoV-2 via ACE2," said Joana Damas, first author for the paper and a postdoctoral research associate at UC Davis.
"The risk is predicted to decrease the more the species' ACE2 binding residues differ from humans," Damas said in a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Several critically-endangered primate species, such as the Western lowland gorilla, Sumatran orangutan, and Northern white-cheeked gibbon, are predicted to be at a very high risk of infection by SARS-CoV-2 via their ACE2 receptor.
Other animals flagged as high risk include marine mammals such as gray whales and bottlenose dolphins, as well as Chinese hamsters.
Research has shown that the immediate ancestor of SARS-CoV-2 likely originated in a species of bat.
Whether bats directly transmitted the novel coronavirus directly to humans, or whether it went through an intermediate host, is not yet known, but the study supports the idea that one or more intermediate hosts were involved.
The data allow researchers to zero in on which species might have served as an intermediate host in the wild, assisting efforts to control a future outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human and animal populations.
"The data provide an important starting point for identifying vulnerable and threatened animal populations at risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection," said Harris Lewin, lead author for the study and a distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis.

Too many forms of discrimination are being permitted to continue.
What about grey squirrels, so what if they invaded the british woodland areas, the reds should have stood their ground.
Of course we can't even begin to address discrimination until we have answered the issue of Tasteism.
Sprouts often fall victim to this kind of discrimination.
Such injustice must be stopped.
Therefore, i implore every single one of you to take the fight to the government and get laws passed.
Laws protecting victims of the ever rising discriminatory belief.


young entrepreneurs, being devoid of know-how, require to go an extra mile to administer the business.
Inconsistent cash flow is the biggest conundrum that startups cope with. A survey conducted by Institute for Business Value and Oxford Economics stated that ninety per cent of Indian startups fail to keep their business afloat in the initial five years. Owing to which, the startup companies meet their doom before completing five years. Innovation, disintegrated workforce and inadequate productare some reasons that beget a companys shutdown. Other than these problems, cash flow is the major conundrum which directly or indirectly leads to the closure.
In the recent times, a majority of millennials has founded companies envisioning to earn larger profits. Just Buy Live, Baby berry, Monkeybox, Wydr and Ezytruk are some of the Indian startups which cannot stand the test of the time and eventually, closed down.
Young minds commonly perceive that exploring an untapped market and funding the business from personal saving is sufficient to run the company. However, being devoid of know-how, you will require to go an extra mile to administer the business. You need to ascertain the business methods to avert your business from losing the cash flow.
Survival is immensely imperative for every business. For stability, the company requires to have a constant cash flow and in-flow of large funds. This, in turn, facilitates in expanding the business and building future prospects. Further, learning new business strategies also turn helpful for entrepreneurs as these tactics assist them to run the business better.
Its time to cope with the digitalized era and adopt new means to keep your company ahead. So, after fortifying relationship with the clients you should openly confer the payment policy and state aftermath in case payment gets delayed. Further, you should increase modes of payments; for that, you should add on digital payment modes such as credit cards, debit cards, net banking and other online payments.
Other than introducing digital payment modes, you should entice customers to make online transactions as it will avert a cash flow crunch. Primarily, use of the credit cards warrants a steady cash flow from the customers.
While handling a small business, it is imperative to manage the paperwork and especially, the front desk of the office. In essence, front desk is the primary place that catches outsiders attention and even, its the very place wherein all bills, whether small or high, are kept. Thus, the business owner should ensure that the front desk is well organized and tidy.
Another tip for an emerging business is to procure an invoice system. As the business increases, the customers also soar and thus, it becomes difficult to remember payments that are due. By installing the invoice system, it becomes easier to recognize the customers which dont make timely payments. The software gives instant reminders to the admin when the payments are undone on the due date. Later, the company can contact the customers and inquire reasons for the payment delay. Thus, install the invoice system faster and ease your troubles.
By introducing fast cash norms in the business, you can easily avoid cash flow crunches. At present, two fast cash policies are prevailing in the business that is, Net 15 and cash discounts. In Net 15, it becomes mandatory for the customers to pay the full amount within a fortnight. While the other convention entices customers to pay sooner and in lieu, they receive discounts on the cash payment.
Follow these business strategies in your venture and avoid cash flow crunches.

We cycled from Bagneres du Luchon up to the French-Spanish border at the Col du Portillon together way back in 2014. This time, however, Esther tackled the climb by herself while I went for a run. Compared to the Port de Bales, Peyresourde and Superbagneres, this is probably the easier of the four climbs directly accessible from Bagneres du Luchon, but only because it is quite a bit shorter.
From the village of Saint-Mamet, which is a flat ride from Bagneres, the summit is only 7.3km away, but with an apparent average gradient of 8.5% (according to climbbybike.com) it is still some tough riding. The route is tree-lined for much of the way and the col itself, being quite a bit lower than the surrounding hills, doesn't provide the same sort of eye-watering panorama of some of the higher routes. It's still a very pleasant ride though, with lots of waterfalls by the roadside to appreciate. Not sure how busy this border crossing gets in summer, but the road is good and wide. Definitely worth a visit and, if you wanted, there are even a few picnic benches at the col!

Okay, I just listened to my special edition cd copy of Ace's new record Space Invader and one thing is really clear as I listen: Ace is in madly love with his fiance Rachel!
On "I Wanna Hold You" (a sure hit in most galaxies) Ace tells her she's "not like the rest" in an attempt explain his mad obsession and celestial affliction. Wherever the relationship stands, he just wants her to know he's been "dreamin' so long" but now that he has found her, he's content to simply "hold" her. Also a breakthrough (though Gene did admit to wanting to hold someone in 'Come Hell Or High Water".).
Dig it man, Ace is a fun, time-traveling shaman. That's the deal. Get your Space Invader on or be left groveling on a dying planet that has been, according to Ace, blind for at least a thousand years. Sounds about right.
Bravo Ace and a big KISS for Rachel, Ace is BAACCKK!


As such, the organizations carrying on activities in the nature of trade, commerce, business or any service in relation thereto for a consideration/fee will not be classified as charitable organizations as such activities are proposed to be specifically excluded from the definition of 'charitable purpose'.
The amendment has an overriding impact of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Gujarat Maritime Board, wherein it was held that development and maintenance of ports was an object of general public utility to be entitled for registration as a charitable institution. While the amendment is intended to exclude commercial entities from tax benefits available to charitable institutions, this amendment will affect Chambers of Commerce, trade associations, etc. as they collect fee for their services. The concept of 'mutuality' may however apply to such chambers, associations, etc.


There is a whole ritual behind ordering fish & shellfood at a Greek restaurant.
In principle, opt for fish that is fresh. The first thing to do is to find out which type of fish is available on that specific day (depending on season, tides, time of day, etc.). Once you know, you have to walk to the back of the restaurant and pick out your fish, straight from the tank. In order to be able to do this, you have to be knowledgeable and observant. But, as a rule of thumb, you should avoid fish with blurry eyes, pale colours and nasty smell. Key signs of freshness are the bright and clear eyes, the metallic and shiny scales and red-coloured gills.
It's one thing to choose fish, it's another to choose shellfood! Shellfood has to be alive before served, otherwise you may be at risk of food poisoning. So what do you do? This one's easy: ask the waiter or the cook to poke it (!) Clams, cockles and mussels tend to react to touch, so if they don't, you know you have to avoid them. If poking is out of the question, you may as well wait until they are served on your plate. Should shellfood remain unopened after being cooked, do not eat it! Just ask the waiter to take it back and bring you a fresh batch.

Q: l_ply: how to pass the list's name attribute into the function? Say I have an R list like this:
> summary(data.list)
                                 Length Class      Mode
aug9104AP                        18     data.frame list
Aug17-10_acon_7pt_dil_series_01  18     data.frame list
Aug17-10_Picro_7pt_dil_series_01 18     data.frame list
Aug17-10_PTZ_7pt_dil_series_01   18     data.frame list
Aug17-10_Verat_7pt_dil_series_01 18     data.frame list

I want to process each data.frame in the list using l_ply, but I also need the name (e.g. aug9104AP) to be passed into the processing function along with the data.frame.  Something like:
l_ply(data.list,function(df,...) {

    cli.name<- arg_to_access_current_list_item_name

    #make plots with df, use cli.name in plot titles
    #save results in a file called cli.name

  }, arg_to_access_current_list_item_name
)

What should arg_to_access_current_list_item_name be?

A: In case you pass them one by one, you can use deparse(substitute(arg)) , eg :
test <- function(x){
       y <- deparse(substitute(x))
       print(y)
       print(x)
 }

 var <- c("one","two","three")
 test(var)
[1] "var"
[1] "one"   "two"   "three"

for l_ply, you'll have to resort to add the attribute to the list itself eg :
for(i in 1:length(data.list)){
    attr(data.list[[i]],"name") <- names(data.list)[i]
}

Then you can use attr :
cli <- attr(x,"name")

Cheers

A: Joris answer is the cleanest way to do this. I would add a function to extract attribute:
for(ename in names(data.list)) {
    attr(data.list[[ename]], "ename") <- ename
}
ename <- function(x) attr(x, "ename") # states for element name

So you use it as:
l_ply(data.list, function(df, ...) {
    cli.name<- ename(df)
    # make plots, save results using cli.name
})

I usually use this method:
l_ply(names(data.list), function(cli.name, df=data.list[[cli.name]], ...) {
    # make plots, save results using cli.name
})

Iterate over names and extract data.frame from original list using them.

Just for the notice there is a hack. I don't recommend it cause it mess with frames and it's hard to control.
Using fact that llply is actually a for loop you can extract actual step from the inside of a function. It can be done using get with the correct environment.
l_ply(data.list, function(df, ...) {
    cli.name<- names(data.list)[get("i",parent.frame())]
    # make plots, save results using cli.name
})

A: It's easiest to start with the names, and then use them to extract the bit you're interested in:
l_ply(names(data.list),function(name,...) {
  df <- data.list[[name]]
)

You can also use m_ply to pass in both the name and data:
m_ply(cbind(names(data.list), data.list), function(name, df, ...) {
   ...
}

-This blade are sanmai construction, It is constructed of two different kinds of steel, the core steel and the outer steel, where the core steel is wrapped with the outer steel. the core steel is harder than the outer steel.
the outer steel was made of folded steel. AISI 1060 High Carbon Steel are folded 12 times creating 4096 layers for superior strength&flexibility. the visible tenuous undulating grain on the blade was resulted from folded repeatedly during forging.
The core steel was made of 1095 steel, The steel has been thoroughly rolling and tempered, A double clay is applied to blade body by hand, using a thin covering near the edge and a thicker layer over the rest of the blade. this results in a relatively quicker cooling of the edge during quenching, producing a hard edge and softer back. the beautiful & authentic hamon on the blade is also result of the differential cooling of the blade (quenching and tempering).
The tip of the blade is a Chu Kissaki (medium length), it is well defined with the hamon going all the way through the Boshi.

What did Justin Trudeau and the 2015 Liberal platform team do wrong on electoral reform
While partisans from opposition parties and supportive multi-partisan interest groups have their own take on what went wrong with electoral reform after the 2015 election, I'll offer a non-partisan take on what Justin Trudeau did wrong.
Platforms are increasingly decided by an inner-circle within the bureaucracy of a political party, in close consultation with the party leader and executive. It is therefore appropriate to focus blame for failures on those few individuals, rather than all candidates or elected members with that party affiliation.
We should start with a reminder of what was included in the 2015 Liberal platform
We will make every vote count.
We are committed to ensuring that 2015 will be the last federal election conducted under the first-past-the-post voting system.
We will convene an all-party Parliamentary committee to review a wide variety of reforms, such as ranked ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting, and online voting.
This committee will deliver its recommendations to Parliament. Within 18 months of forming government, we will introduce legislation to enact electoral reform.
Lets parse what Justin Trudeau and his platform team did wrong with each component:
This is a loaded term that means different, and often incompatible, things to different people. The platform team were either unaware of the complexities of electoral reform, or were trying to deceive people into believing that it was their meaning that the platform was using.
If this commitment was strong, then other steps would not have been carried out in a way that would have predictably lead to failure.
If the commitment was to have 2015 be the last federal election under FPTP, then why convene a committee that is constituted differently than any other parliamentary committee? Convening a committee to study a variety of reforms, including a variety of things that a proportional system can be proportional to, should not start by forming a committee that is proportional to alleged support for political parties.
The idea that elections and parliament should be focused only on political parties, with no consideration for any other demographic trait of potential representatives, is itself controversial. Misunderstandings and misrepresentations about these very different criteria for success is behind why reform is so hard in Canada.
An unbiased study would have found that the three most common things different people are focused on when voting in parliamentary elections are:
Those whose focus is on what party forms government. For them the choice is really between the top two parties representing two visions, with there being little or no interest in other parties or the individual people who are candidates in the election.
Those whose focus is on what parties have seats in parliament. For them the choice is between the likely less than 10 parties who have sufficient support to gain seats, and they also have little or no interest in the specific individuals who are candidates in the election.
Those who want the people with the most voter support to act as representatives. For them party affiliation is one demographic trait among many, and want to be able to include other criteria in their decision of which people (plural) they believe could represent them.
Each group has different features of systems they believe is ideal
For this group, First Past The Post is the ideal system, as the single vote plurality encourages people to vote for one of the top two parties otherwise your vote will split or otherwise be exhausted.
For this group party lists are seen as ideal (some claim necessary), as the single party vote requires people to vote narrowly along party lines and thus makes any vote for a party count equally.
For this group any ballot that forces people to vote narrowly along party lines via party lists, or gives certain voters an unequal vote because they vote along party lines, moves us further away from making every vote count. This group will reject any system which includes party lists or groups different candidates together along party lines. They don't want their vote for one person to transfer to another person they didn't vote for. They might feel being forced to make a single choice among 10 options country-wide isn't much different than a choice between 2. This group also doesn't believe that there is only "one right answer" to a question with more than two options, so will want to either rank their choices or mark multiple choices they approve of. They will want their ballot to not be exhausted quickly and have no influence, so will want their ballot to be able to transfer beyond a small number of candidates (for instance via multi-member districts or similar).
This committee will deliver its recommendations to Parliament.
Between June 21, 2016 and November 28, 2016 the Special Committee on Electoral Reform carried out the study. This was 6 months of study, with a final report being tabled in December which is 13 months after the government was formed.
A proper study would have determined the complexities of the different positions, recognized there was no consensus, and suggested a way to move forward that had a majority of support. Unfortunately by putting the focus on parties this biased the study towards parties and their interests, as can be seen by a number of the recommendations.
The NDP and Elizabeth May were in group 2, and forced a criteria for success (a low Gallagher index) that group 2 wants, but that group 1 and group 3 both reject as being invalid (or even counterproductive, as it seeks to optimize for what some in group 3 consider harmful hyper-partisanship)
The Conservative members wanted to embarrass the Liberals at any cost, and ensure that the Liberals couldn't fulfill their campaign promise. As the opposition was granted a majority of the members on committee, it was trivial to orchestrate this by requiring a referendum. Any time Canadians have been given a referendum on the Gallagher index it has failed, so these two criteria together guaranteed failure.
The Liberals on the committee presented a Supplemental Report of the Liberal Members of the Special Committee on Electoral Reform which confirmed the complexity of reform and the invalidity of the Gallagher index as a criteria for success. In doing so they essentially contradicted the authors of the 2015 Liberal platform as platform suggested the issue could have a satisfactory resolution before the next election. The Liberal caucus members admitting in their minority report that the platform team was wrong was the most surprising aspect of the report.
It was not surprising that the government response rejected recommendations 1, 2 and 12 relating to the Gallagher index (noting that testimony did not lead to that recommendation) with 12 also including the referendum.
Within 18 months of forming government, we will introduce legislation to enact electoral reform.
I will repeat where I started: "The platform team were either unaware of the complexities of electoral reform, or were trying to deceive people into believing that it was their meaning that the platform was using."
The ERRE committee work happened at a predictable pace, and left only 5 months to introduce legislation.
As the 10 independent Electoral Boundaries Commissions could not complete a process to change boundaries within 5 months, or even necessarily before the next election, the quickly introduced legislation would need to work with the existing boundaries. While that would satisfy the third group as they don't want districts redrawn, this would have been rejected by the group who want party lists or other systems which propose redrawing electoral boundaries.
As the second group often believe that systems based on ranked ballots in multi-member districts are "proportional" a compromise was possible, but that never offered by the opposition. In fact the opposition and interest groups from group 2 continued to promote the idea that ranked ballot systems could be "improved" in the future by adding "top-up" party lists to better meet their Gallagher index criteria for success, making it impossible to have a reasonable discussion about any compromise.
With no compromise offered, and confusion continually generated by one of the groups ignoring the interests of other voters, reform was impossible in such a short time-frame.
The complexity of moving forward with reform should have been understood, and any promise of enacting legislation in a short time period should have started with stating the criteria for success and not falsely claiming that legislation would easily follow from some non-existent consensus on success criteria.

With no reserve game for a couple of weeks Micky Mellon arranged for a practice game with Wigan Athletic to give a few of the lads who hadn't seen much first team action to get some minutes under their belts.
It also gave a chance for James Wesolowski and Nathaniel Knight-Percival to get their first competitive game after returning to full training following their cruciate ligament problems.
Town put in a good attacking display in the first half with Vernon, McAlinden, Clark and Whalley all testing the Wigan keeper a number of times. At the other end Wigan created their own chances but nothing that really tested Mark Halstead in the Town goal.
Town took the lead just before the half-time break when Jordan Clark delivered an inviting free-kick into the back post and Dom Smith rose well to head the ball down and past the Wigan keeper.
Mark Halstead was having a fairly quiet first half but when the Wigan 10 got the ball down and powered forward Halstead had to be at his best, the 10 drove to the edge of the box and struck a strong low shot but Halstead was down quickly with a smart save at full stretch.
Town got a nice second goal five minutes into the second half and it was Clark again who was provider, this time he put in a good delivery towards the back post from out on the right and Liam McAlinden rose well to put a header back across goal to make it 2-0 to Town.
On the 75 minute Town made two changes with Callum Grogan and Chris Gallagher coming on to replace Nat Knight-Percival and James Wesolowski in a straight switch. Both players had looked comfortable during their first run out since the early part of the year and it was good to see them back out there in the Greenhous Meadow pitch.

'True American'
Death of Ashli Babbitt shot in Capitol was an 'execution' but she believed Trump 'was worth dying for', best pal claims
Katy Forrester

Updated: Jan 8 2021, 16:09 ET
THE death of a California woman, who was shot at the Capitol amidst violent pro-Trump protests, "was an execution" but she believed the outgoing president was "worth dying for", her best friend has claimed.
Ashli Babbitt, 35, was seen in graphic video footage being shot in the chest by cops after trying to climb through a broken window and enter the House chamber during the mayhem inside the Capitol on Wednesday.

Now, her heartbroken friend Jack Feeley, a fellow Air Force Veteran, has paid tribute to the 35-year-old, describing her as a "true American" who would have been "furious" to have gone down without a fight.
Describing his mood as "enraged," Jack told The Sun: "I think she absolutely thought this goal was worth laying down her life for.
"She may have laid down her rifle, but she was still willing to lay down her life for her country and what she strongly believed in.
"I'm positive she'd be furious going down without a fight. That was an execution.
"I wish she was still here, but I'm really proud of her for being there.

"She wasn't just passionate about Trump, she was the strongest advocate I knew about making things right and fair.
"All she wanted was the end to corruption and the terrible things happening all the way from the top of government down to her local city officials.
"I know her and she would have wanted to stand tall.
"The latest video released shows the shooter. She barely made it through that window before being taken down.
"[It] breaks my heart to know millions of people watched my friend be executed on live television."

Devastated Jack added: "I'll never get over this bullsh** done to her."
Ashli, who served 14 years in the military, is one of four people who died after a night of chaos in Washington DC.
She was a high-level security official throughout her time in service.
The officer who shot at the Trump supporter has reportedly been placed on leave amid an investigation into her death.
Ashli, who later married Aaron Babbitt and moved back to California, was vocal about her support for the former president on Twitter and documented her trip to DC.
Her mother-in-law, Robin Babbitt, told The New York Post: "I'm numb. I'm devastated.

"Nobody from DC notified my son and we found out on TV."
Jack insisted she is a "hero" and not a "terrorist or Nazi" which she has been branded on social media since her tragic death during the violent protests in Washington.
"She was a true American with every bone and fiber in her body," he said. "I've rarely met anyone like her.
"There are those who become much more patriotic after putting on the uniform. That was me, [but] Ashli was super patriotic.
"I'm not sure if she was always a registered republican. But I'd say she was born with those ideals engraved in her.
Babbitt posted videos on social media just hours before she was shot and killed in DCCredit: Ashli Babbit
"She was one of the most intelligent women I've known. And she always stood out to me because she wouldn't just fly off the handle with opinion - she always did so much research.
"It was crazy. She would hardly ever talk about something she couldn't crush you in an argument about. It was pretty cool.
"She was so incredibly headstrong and dedicated, she threw 115 percent of herself into whatever she was doing.
"I mean she did her homework more than anyone I've ever known even about low-level and local officials. It always amazed me what the heck she found the time."

Jack met Ashli in Maryland where she was living with her ex-husband, Timothy McEntee, on post active duty taking college classes together.
He said she helped him study and the pair stayed up late at night at her house after the local library closed.
"She was my best friend for several years. We were AF vets together, schoolmates together afterwards at college, and and she was one of my favorite people," he said.
"She helped me through some very difficult times after I got out of the service," he said.
"But she was so insistent that you should never care about what others thought of you. Ever.
"She was so proud of who she was and what she was doing, no matter what it was, that it made me wanna be proud too. I always wanted to feel the way Ash did."

It comes as the Babitt's uncle told of his shock and heartbreak at the death - saying his family were too grief-stricken to watch the graphic footage of the shooting.
It was also revealed that Babbitt had been hit with a slew of legal issues before her death including a restraining order filed against her.

Q: Remove merge commit and revert merge completely from branch I have recently started working on git.
Here is the issue, it might be a bit confusing but I will try my best to describe my issue:
We are a group of developers , a master branch was created. We all created custom branches from it for the feature we are going to build separately. Lets say master is at "A" point. Couple of changes have been merged to master now.
One day I mistakenly merged my branch to master and pushed to remote then I realised that I made a mistake so I reverted that merge from master branch. I thought everything is fine. Now few more commits were done on top of my doing by somebody else.
Now the first issue is :
1) If I see master branch log, it is flooded with my commit history due to the merge I did, along with a revert merge.
2) If somebody else is trying to merge their changes to master they are getting allot of merge conflicts thats due to my "merge" and "merge revert" with master branch. At the time of their merge Git probably is first trying to align my merged changes with that other person's change and then it will revert my change. And the same thing will happen for other people as well who will merge their branch into master who have checked out master branch from point A.
Hope I didn't made it confusing.
Is it possible to remove my branch "merge" and "revert merge" completely from master ?

Accused in kidnapping remains in custody
An Innisfail man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman remains in custody pending a court appearance in Airdrie.
The 55-year-old man, whose name cannot be released to protect the identity of his alleged victim, was arrested at the CrossIron Mills shopping centre at Balzac on March 28 after a woman passed a note to a stranger saying she was being abducted.
The Good Samaritan contacted police, who allege that the suspect continued to beat the woman and then assaulted a police officer in the moments leading to his arrest.
Already wanted on similar charges stemming from an incident alleged to have taken place in Vegreville a week earlier, the man was held in custody pending a court appearance in Vegreville provincial court.
RCMP alleged at the time of the suspect's arrest that he and the woman had recently separated.
The Vegreville charges have now been withdrawn with the suspect to make his next appearance in Airdrie provincial court on May 10.
He is to enter pleas on charges of housebreaking with intent to commit a crime, sexual assault, choking with intent, unlawful confinement, kidnapping, threats causing death, assault causing bodily harm, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, resisting a police officer, assaulting a police officer and breaching conditions of a recognizance.
