Melbourne-based Seven Seeds Specialty Coffee was having a pop-up coffee shop at the Finders Keepers Melbourne Spring/Summer Edition, last October at the Royal Exhibition Hall, Melbourne. They were among another coffee pop-up supplying to over ten of thousands of visitors -- imagine the stress when the orders piles up! Probly not the best venue to experience Seven Seeds' coffee, we had 2 cups of takeaway -- they were simply too milky to my liking! Nevertheless, the micro roaster offers very good coffee bean -- the Kenya Kigwandi (Washed) I bought from the shop was very sweet and delicious with lemon acidity when I brewed at home using V60.

Goosebumps Review
So I watched Goosebumps…
I, like millions of other kids in the world, grew up reading R.L. Stine's Goosebumps. Him and Roald Dahl were the custodians of my childhood. My love for fantasy and fiction, which has spilled over into a love for movies, was founded and nurtured by these stories. So when I heard a film adaptation of the Goosebumps series was being made, I was a little bit weary. I avoided watching the trailer for months, didn't want to know who was in the cast and did everything I could to not find out details about this movie. But then I finally decided to give the trailer a chance and I liked it and now, after watching this movie, I have to say they did a pretty great job paying homage to one of my favourite authors.
Okay, basic plot: Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) and his mother move to the sleepy town of Madison, Delaware where Zach's mother has just started a new job. Zach isn't too keen on the idea of the new town and thinks it's going to be a complete bore. This all changes when Zach meets his new next door neighbour – Hannah. Zach is instantly interested in Hannah and Hannah feels the same way but Hannah's father (Jack Black) is completely opposed to the two developing a relationship. Zach sneaks into Hannah's house one night to see her and accidentally opens one of her father's books, releasing a monster. It turns out that Hannah's father is actually R.L. Stine and every book he's ever written contains real monsters. Hannah, her father and Zach along with Zach's odd new friend, Champ, must now attempt to capture all the monsters in the books before they destroy the town.
I went into this movie expecting to hate it. Film adaptations of books are never as good as the actual books and Gossebumps is one of my favourites; so anyone trying to adapt it would have to do an amazing job to satisfy me, let alone entertain me. Now this movie isn't an adaptation at all but rather an amalgamation of all the Goosebumps stories. It doesn't focus on one particular story or monster and has no backstory around any of the monsters. They just come out of the books and cause terror. I liked this because it allows the movie to tell a unique story that isn't necessarily restricted to the books and since this is an original story, you can't really compare it to the books so it doesn't suffer because it doesn't match the expectations you had in your mind.
This movie reminded me a lot of an 80's movie, in particular, Gremlins. It has this fun, lighthearted spirit and doesn't take itself too seriously; which are some of the characteristics plenty of great 80's movies had. They knew their plots were ridiculous and far-fetched but instead of trying to over explain every element of their story, they embraced the hilarity. That's this movie's best feature – it's so much fun. Yes, it's great to go to the cinema and see thespian pieces that display great skill and arthouse movies that make you cry and inspire you to change the world; but it's also important to go the movies to laugh and just have a good time. That's what this movie offers you.
The actors in this movie do a really good job selling the fun of the movie. Jack Black who can be a glorious hit or a torturous miss does a wonderful job leading this cast. He's the most experienced member of this cast and you can see it with the ease with which he lands his jokes. He does this faux, upper-class accent which is, for the most part, entertaining but grinds your gears near the end. Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush and Ryan Lee do great jobs as Zach, Hannah and Champ respectively. They have great chemistry and make the most of this script's humour. Halston Sage has a tiny, bit part role in this as Tracey – the popular girl in school who Champ has a crush on. It's a very similar role to the one she had in Paper Towns and I really hope she branches out and doesn't get typecast because I think she has some talent.
Earlier I said this movie felt like an 80's movie, which was a compliment but it's also a bit of a criticism. This movie is quite cliché. Things happen in a very formulaic way and the characters are ones that we've seen a million times. The nerd who has a crush on the hottest girl in school; the hot girl who ends up falling for the nerd because he does something her regular douchebag of a boyfriend never would – it's been done before. That being said, this movie uses those clichés well and delivers an entertaining plot. Another criticism I have is that the monsters didn't look life-like. They weren't terrifying and they had no personality. Because this movie has almost every monster R.L. Stine ever created, there's just too many of them for us to really connect with. The monsters just felt like a faceless mob which in many instances was their purpose; but one of my favourite things about Goosebumps was the detail with which the monsters were written. They felt real, they had personality, goals, ambitions; these monsters just instantly terrorise the town without reason. Yes, terrorising things is what monsters do but I feel like it would have been better to focus on a select group of monsters, flesh their characters out and then introduce the whole gang.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. it's made with the same spirit that the original Goosebumps books were written. It's fun but creepy, makes you laugh but also weirds you out and that's what Goosebumps has always been for me. It's definitely worth a watch, whether you read Goosebumps or not. 7/10

One of the biggest items on my England bucket list was visiting Highclere Castle, where Downton Abbey was filmed. I'm a massive Downton fan, and seeing it in real life was always a dream.
But whenever I've been to England, Highclere was always closed or sold out. They only open the house a few months of the year, so you really need to time your trip with one of these public openings.
Somehow, like Prince Harry said in his engagement interview, "the stars were aligned," and this year I got to go! If I hadn't been in Windsor for his wedding I would've said it was the absolute highlight of my trip. So we'll go with second best day ever, because what can beat a royal wedding?
This wasn't an occasion to just turn up in jeans and a top. Only a royal outfit would do – after all, Kate herself has visited the studio where Downton was filmed and met the cast. After careful consideration, I chose the Hobbs Wessex dress, as worn by the Duchess of Cambridge on several occasions.
I paired my dress with a stretchy white belt I found for a steal on Amazon and silver ballet flats, plus my CZ version of Kate's Kiki McDonough studs.
From time to time, Highclere Castle hosts special events like lectures and themed tours. When I checked online a few months before my trip I saw the public opening for the May bank holiday weekend was sold out. Luckily, Highclere was holding a "Script to Screen" event earlier in the week so I booked tickets ASAP.
My sister and one of our best friends came along for the ride. The three of us had been to the Downton Abbey costume exhibit in Delaware a few years ago and it was crazy to be able to go to the real thing together. My husband opted to stay back in London since he'd never watched Downton Abbey and it was a lot of money to spend if you aren't a fan. Plus, it wasn't exactly a kid-friendly outing. Our son had a lot more fun going to the LEGO store that day with Dad!
When you pull into the entrance for Highclere Castle from the road you have to drive for ages (I swear it must have been a mile) until you finally see the building peeking out from the trees.
My sister yelled "AAAH!!!!" so loudly at the first glimpse that our cab driver yelled "BLOODY HELL!" It was all hilarious and both of us got a little emotional when we finally got to stand right in front of Highclere Castle.
Since we were there early, we went on an EPIC PHOTO SHOOT. I took at least 100 pictures that day but here are a few favorites!
It was cloudy and cool when we arrived, but soon enough the sun came out and it was an absolutely gorgeous day. It ended up getting quite hot later in the afternoon!
Then it was time for the lecture. Lady Carnarvon, the current lady of the house, did the introductions. I follow her blog and have read a couple of her books so it was very cool to see her in person. She's very down to earth!
The screenwriter of Poldark was there for the "Script to Screen" lecture. The website didn't mention who the guest speaker was, so I was a bit surprised having expected the lecture to be about filming Downton Abbey. She talked for 30 minutes about how she got started with her career, how scripts get adapted and how the show is filmed and whatnot. At first, I thought Poldark must've had some episodes filmed at Highclere Castle. But they hadn't, which was a little confusing.
Anyway, parts were definitely interesting (mostly because I'm a writer) but I've never watched Poldark so my attention wasn't grabbed as much as I'd hoped.
After the lecture, we were split into small groups and taken on tours around the castle. Sadly, you aren't allowed to take photographs indoors. But the rooms look exactly like they do on the TV program and it was very, very surreal. It was literally like walking through a scene in Downton Abbey. I half expected Mr. Carson to show up!
Peeking into the house before our tour.
They had framed family photographs on tables in every room, and I spotted a few of the royals in them, including The Queen and Princess Diana.
The tour guide took us into the library, dining room, and the various drawing rooms and sitting rooms downstairs. Then we went upstairs to see the bedrooms. You weren't allowed to walk inside them – they had a rope blocking the door – but you could look in.
The "downstairs" areas like the kitchen were filmed on a soundstage so they didn't actually have any of those rooms at Highclere.
The tour was great overall and our guide was very knowledgeable about the house, the history of the building, and the family. I'm sad that I can't share any photos with you because it was wonderful to see these interiors in person! We kept pinching ourselves because it felt so bizarre to actually be there.
Once our tour was over we headed to a tented area on the lawn. They had tables inside the tent and on the grass for a luncheon, which was included in our special event ticket.
There was a garden tour after lunch, but we opted to skip that and walk around the grounds on our own. Instead, we headed into the shop to take advantage of everyone else being on the garden tour.
The shop is small, situated in a little shed-type building that's separate from the main house. I ended up buying a matted print, which I still need to get framed. Alas, UK print sizing is almost always non-standard when you try to buy a frame in the States! I also picked up a Christmas ornament and some other assorted souvenirs (sunglasses case, pen, coaster). And let's not forget the tiara headband I wrote about in my royal wedding shopping post.
My friend decided it was a great idea to order a bottle of champagne after we went shopping, because YOLO. We left our purchases in the shop to collect them later – other than my headband, which I put on immediately, of course – and took a table out in the sun.
They had a food menu as well, but since we'd already eaten we just did champagne. It was such a beautiful day and we had the best time relaxing and chatting there.
That's Lady Carnarvon in the blue right behind me.
Next, we explored the grounds.
We sat on the lawn for a while, took some more pictures and waited for our taxi. I also may or may not have played the Downton theme song from my phone and re-enacted the opening scene.
Before I knew it, our day at the real Downton Abbey was over. It was amazing to experience it with two of my favorite people. Lucky for us, there is a Downton Abbey film in the works so we can all visit Highclere again soon enough!
They can be pre-booked in advance online, and since the house is only open a few days a year, they sell out quickly. Sign up for their email list and follow Highclere on social media to keep abreast of when tickets go on sale (usually it's a few months in advance).
Sometimes there are tickets available at the gate, but I would not recommend just walking up hoping there might be some for the time slot you happened to show up. Unless you're very local or staying nearby it's a long journey to take that risk and end up disappointed. Especially if you've come from overseas!
If you take the train from London, it's a little over an hour from Paddington to Newbury station.
My entrance tickets were at 10 a.m. and we arrived at London Bridge tube a few minutes after 7 a.m. to catch the Underground to Paddington, collect our tickets, grab breakfast, and get on the train. I believe our train left around 7:50 and it arrived in Newbury at 9:15. We ended up getting to Highclere half an hour before our ticketed time, which meant plenty of time to take photos in front of the castle without a bunch of people in them.
You need to take a taxi from Newbury station to Highclere Castle. Most people pre-book cabs, so if you expect to just grab one outside Newbury station you'll probably be frustrated. Just phone a cab company ahead of time and let them know your arrival time. I used Broadway Cars at 01635 847784. It's about a 15-minute taxi ride to Highclere Castle from the station.
It's ESSENTIAL to call and book a cab on the way back, as you'll be stranded otherwise. (This is a feeling I'm familiar with, btw, which you'll learn in my upcoming Hever Castle post!). We called about 15 minutes before we wanted to leave and then waited probably another 15-20 for the cab to arrive.
If you go during one of the public openings (when there will be way more people), I would call well ahead of when you want to leave or agree on a return time with your driver on the way there.
Have you ever been to Highclere Castle?
Haha! So good, I wish we could re-live it!
Loved reading this article as I just stared reading "lady almina and the real downton abbey"!!! Thanks for sharing!
I loved that book! Enjoy!
You should watch Poldark – an amazing story, and he is smoking hot.
Thank you! Definitely put it on your travel list!

Q: Adding two matrices in python def addM(a, b):
    res = []
    for i in range(len(a)):
        row = []
        for j in range(len(a[0])):
            row.append(a[i][j]+b[i][j])
        res.append(row)
    return res

I found this code here which was made by @Petar Ivanov, this code adds two matrices, i really don't understand the 3rd line, why does he use len(a) and the 5th line, why does he use len(a[0]). In the 6th line, also why is it a[i][j] +b[i][j]?

A: The matrix here is a list of lists, for example a 2x2 matrix will look like: a=[[0,0],[0,0]]. Then it is easy to see:

*

*len(a) - number of rows.

*len(a[0]) - number of columns (since this is a matrix, the length of a[0] is the same as length of any a[i]).

*This way, i is the number of row, j is the number of column and a[i][j]+b[i][j] is simply adding up the elements of two matrices which are placed in the same locations in the matrices.

For all this to work, a and b should be of the same shapes (so, numbers of rows and columns would match).

Polyurethane hardwood floor finishes come in two varieties: those from the factory and those applied on-site. The former is usually the more durable of the two. All polyurethane finishes are water-resistant, but flooring professionals advise using water sparingly -- if at all -- for cleaning....

How to Apply Polyurethane to Wood Floors � Ask the Home Flooring Pros Welcome back to our Ask the Home Flooring Pros feature where we answer your most frequently asked questions. This week we look at how to apply polyurethane and specifically the best way to apply it to a wood floor, rather than any other kind of woodworking project.... While polyurethanes are widely recognised as the most durable surface coatings for floors, they are inevitably subject to wear, particularly when any gritty substance is introduced onto the floor.

Gym maintenance hardwood floor polyurethane and sealers for screening hardwood floors recoating mn how to clean hardwood floors bona us how to apply polyurethane wood floors ask the home flooring pros... If you�ve got a polyurethane finish on your parquet floor, pick a cleaner made for finished wood floors-without a wax component. If you�ve got an older wood floor with a varnish or other finish, you can use an oil based product that will work with your finish.
Polyurethane: Either oil- or water-based, polyurethane comes in various degrees of luster and has a sort of plastic look. Both finish types darken or even yellow wood, although some newer water-based products don�t darken as much. Poly finishes are excellent for high-traffic and high-moisture areas. However, if the finish gets nicked or gouged, it�s extremely difficult to spot-repair.
Clean up spills before they turn into stains or damage the finish. For stubborn, stickys spills a damp mopping with an approved cleaner may be used. Refinishing (top coating) will only be necessary once the weekly care fails to restore the floor's shine. Of course, never apply a wax to a floor with a urethane finish.

Chris Lund aka Left/Right works from the shadows as a dj, producer, promoter, and professor. His music has been featured in DJ Mag, Mixmag, UKF, Dancing Astronaut, and Insomniac and garnered support from Oliver Heldens, Mr Carmack, Zeds Dead, Wuki, My Nu Leng, BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM and more. Earlier this week he had a new release come out for artist Karma Fields. They released a tune with famous pop singer Tove Lo called Colorblind. L/R loved the original and decided to make his remix with the melodic vocals and his signature bass sound. I loved the synths he used that just blend well with the rest of the song. The piercing basslines are a staple in every one of his productions and this one is no exception. I'm a sucker for the Amen Break drum sample so when I heard it I flipped out. There's alot of emotion coming from L/R's sound design and Tove's vocals.


A longtime Orlando Sentinel favorite has passed away.
Charley Reese was a plain-spoken man whose deep and abiding convictions shaped decades of columns that appeared not only on the Orlando Sentinel's editorial pages but in newspapers across the nation.
Reese's columns resonated with Central Florida's conservative community, but readers of all political persuasions were drawn to his well-reasoned, clearly written arguments. He was a small-government advocate before it became so fashionable, and individual liberty was a consistent theme.
Reese developed an intensely loyal local following during his nearly 30 years at the Orlando Sentinel, and an equally devoted fan base as a contributor to King Features Syndicate.
The enduring nature of Reese's ideas can still be found online today. Columns that he wrote in 1984 and again in 1995 — both blaming the nation's woes solely on 545 people (Congress, the Supreme Court and the president) — have been reproduced on hundreds of websites. Many versions have, unfortunately, been doctored, but the central idea is appealing for its simplicity and clarity.
In an interview almost two years ago, Reese said he had stopped writing because "I figured I had said everything I wanted to say."
Those who knew Reese as a colleague almost always cited his intelligence, charm, sense of humor and Southern manners.
Reese believed in being honest with readers, and each year would publish a column disclosing, among other things, his party affiliation, sources of income, organization memberships and political philosophy, which he confessed to having some difficulty describing.
One of those columns ended with this statement of purpose for writing: "I'm not a salesman. It makes no difference to me whether you agree or disagree with my point of view. Just don't be apathetic and don't give up on your country."

During the bombardment HMS Revenge fired 120 rounds of 15" in eighteen minutes from range between 14000 and 16000 yards. Her escorting destroyers fired 801 rounds of 4.7" during the first four minutes of the bombardment and then formed a screen on the battleship.
Large fires were seen to erupt in the target area. Shore defences opened up as for being under air attack. The ships were fired on only after the bombardment had ceased. No ships were hit though despite the enemy fire being accurate.
The western cover group returned to Plymouth at 0800/11.
The bombardment force and the eastern cover group arrived at Portsmouth around the same time.
HMS Jaguar (Lt.Cdr. J.F.W. Hine, RN) departed Plymouth for patrol. She returned to Plymouth the next day.

Below we have another guest post. Check out the cool pictures. The fireplace thingie is fascinating to me. I have never seen anything like it.
When spaces are lived in day in and day out, the sparkle and allure that once inhabited the space can wear off. Luckily, something as simple as a new flash of colour can brighten things up. Brighter furniture, unusual accessories, art, unique storage solutions and beautiful lighting c an be easy and quick ways to give any tired room an exciting new look.
Some people will start with a focal point; an entertainment unit or fireplace for example, and base their redesign around that. Others choose to create a balanced space that doesn't draw attention to any one area of the room. If you are unsure of which category you fall into, consult interior design magazines and browse furniture retail websites to see what style of room arrangement catches your eye and gets your creative juices flowing.
We can create different atmospheres in rooms with bright bold colors. Bright furniture works really well with white walls. It is possible to create excellent combinations by varying colors and creating harmony; red furniture can work with oranges and yellows, for example. Take note of the harmonious colors such as wood grain, cream and brown in the above picture. Choosing just the right tone is key to them working together. Blocks of color work as focal points when they have contrasting colors around them like white, black and red. To achieve the middle ground choose just two colors with which to contrast and harmonize. It's entirely up to the home maker. What colors do your family enjoy?
Placing striking furniture next to neutral pieces makes a bold statement. Rich patterns are also a good contrast with plainer furniture. There are some bits and pieces which literally light up a space. Glowing stools and neon spheres in the form of illuminated furniture fill rooms with colored light and are particularly special touches.
Getting new furniture can be time consuming and often requires patience, as well as tiny screwdrivers. Putting together flat-pack furniture at home can be awkward. The convenience of the purchase can really make a big difference; you may pay more, but the build quality is bound to be far superior to what you can manage with an Allen-key.
Stylish storage is so useful and can be exceptionally beautiful. For example, a chic bookcase with useful and elegantly crafted space can be a stylish addition to any room. Or alternatively, place a coffee table with an over-hanging top and an underneath storage space in the center of a room and it creates a striking center piece. An alternative is to incorporate these bold pieces around the side of the room and balance the strong statements with neutral whites, accessories and soft furnishing. Shoe racks can also be bold and stylish; click here to browse Fashion For Home's exquisite range, for a taste of the choice available.
Have fun by bringing something different or humorous into the home. Creating novel looks will have neighbors chatting about your interior design too. A novel picture or cushion set are good points of interest in your decor; gadgets can also create a talking point.
Art can harmonize a room. A painting can tell a story, be an emblem of something enjoyable, or just be an abstract expanse for the individual's eyes to enjoy; like the sky. Placing artwork requires careful consideration. A series of identically sized prints can be powerful as the identical proportions can help balance a living space. Paintings of any color at all can add extra interest to your color scheme. Artists are usually pretty reliable for harmonizing their tones.
You can really bring a room together with soft, elegant lighting. It is also possible to affect the mood in a room by bringing different colors into the space, through simply changing the light bulbs.
Brightening up your home spaces should be an enjoyable experience, not a stressful one. Follow these tips and take the time to consider what would work in the space you have and your home could be inviting and vibrant once again. Good luck!
Try changing the lightning fixture in your living room. Even just mere changing it would let you feel the change of the ambiance in the living room. Anyway, you should also try painting it with pastel colors for more relaxing environment.
That's a good idea April. Changing lighting often can change the look or feel of a room.
I am really pleased with this information. I am very excited to reinvent the look of my dull place. Thank you for inspiring me.

As a world leading paragliding manufacturer, MAC PARA offers clients the special service of applying advertising logos to the canopy of your paraglider.
The best results can only be obtained when the advertising is applied during the manufacturing process before lines are attached to the canopy and the cloth is clean without any wrinkles. We pay high attention to material selection, ensuring that production quality is maintained at the highest level.
Black, red, orange, grey, gold, blue, turquoise and violet are the available material colours for your advert, we can make every size of advert, but be aware of the increase in weight. Glider weight has a big influence on take-off characteristics. For this reason for many years we have used the light-weight cloth Skytex 40. Please remember that by applying heavy advertising you change the behaviour of your glider. This is especially applicable to tandems.
For the best results and minimising the weight, think about the size and proportion of your advert on the glider. The coloured material weighs 55g/m2, thus you can calculate the approximate additional weight and its potential effect on your flying pleasure, mainly during take-off.
For proposal and calculation you can send us an ordinary bitmap picture (jpg; tiff; gif; bmp) but for preparation for cutting we need your source picture or text in curves, the best for us is *.cdr (Corel) file format ( in curves !) saved in version 9. If this is not possible for you, we can transform bitmap to curves for extra costs.


Collegiate's Middle School students have stepped into a world of innovative learning, design and construction by hosting the Invention Convention the week of Feb. 1.
The eighth-grade Invention Convention is a weeklong celebration to showcase students' scientific creations.
Claire Fornsel, Middle School science teacher, has empowered students to turn research-focused ideas into everyday inventions.
"Each group of students proposed an idea, wrote a development paper about the purpose of their invention and weighed the pros and cons of their creations," said Fornsel.
The Middle School Explore Room transformed into a virtual world of new gadgets, bright ideas and high collaboration.
Students toured the room critiquing and admiring their peers' work.
Ashley Stack '22 particularly liked the poster design about quantum magnets.
Students challenged one another with questions about each invention.
Dylan McCavitt '20, Skylar Tessler '20 and Spencer King '20 held a debate regarding Dylan's and Spencer's project of improving shipping crates by using quantum magnets to make sorting and moving crates easier, faster and safer.
"What happens when the magnets de-cool?" asked Skylar.
"What will happen is the tracks will end up sticking to the other crates to keep them steady; that way you will not have a cascade effect," answered Dylan.
Other students were extremely intrigued by the virtual reality contact lenses which transported them to different countries and cities, such as Paris or New York.
The universal remote is another project which was a hit during the Invention Convention.
Take a look at some of the inventions from our Middle School friends here.

Small things add up for Patriots' Andrews
By Mark Daniels@MarkDanielsPJ
Sep 9, 2016 at 10:15 PM Sep 9, 2016 at 10:27 PM
FOXBORO — When the little things add up, big things happen. Just ask David Andrews.
The second-year player will head into Sunday night's Week One matchup with the Arizona Cardinals as the Patriots' starting center after he beat out Bryan Stork for the job.
There were plenty of differences between Stork and Andrews. Stork was a fourth-round pick while Andrews was an undrafted free agent from Georgia. That's what surprised some when the Patriots cut ties with Stork this summer. Last season Stork replaced Andrews in the starting lineup after coming off short-term injured reserve. But a lot changed this offseason for the 24-year-old Andrews, who began focusing on the small things.
"Just kind of try and pick something little every day to get better at and if you do that, it turns into big things," Andrews said. "Not [going] out there and try and accomplish seven things. It makes it sometimes a little harder. Just try to go out there and get better with little parts of your game here and there. All that stuff adds up between last season, workouts, OTAs and what we did in camp. Just go out every day, try to get better and improve and understand so you can play fast.
"Knowledge, technique, there's all kinds of things. You always have to try and get better. If you're not, someone else is passing you. It's every aspect of the game. No one is a perfect player."
In the end, Andrews ended up passing Stork, who started 11 games and then won a Super Bowl with the Patriots in his rookie season. Last year, he started the final six regular-season games after returning from an injury and then in every postseason game.
Despite losing his starting job, Andrews' rookie season was a success. He started 11 of the 14 games he played in. And there didn't appear to be a drop-off when Andrews started for Stork. More important, he built on the experience and entered the offseason focused on making that second-year jump.
By training camp, it was evident that Andrews was passing Stork by.
"David played really well for us last year," Bill Belichick said. "He's really smart and has a good instinct for playing the center position. He's played it his whole life, since fifth grade or whatever, so he definitely knows how to play in there, but I would say the extra year probably just moves everything along a little bit. [He is] a little bit quicker, a little bit smoother with the identifications."
Belichick saw Andrews become more decisive and quicker recognizing defenses. At center, the Patriots value a player who can see everything — from defensive linemen to linebackers — and then relay that to the rest of the offensive line.
"It's a lot of little things like that," Belichick said. "Kind of tying it together — that's an important part of the center position — is helping the other four guys, two on either side of you, all see the same picture of the people that you're responsible for."
It's just another example of one player taking advantage of an opportunity.
"Definitely having a year under your belt helps you and a year under the offense," Andrews said. "Definitely can learn a lot from last year, even through this camp and OTAs, there's always something you can see to improve upon. Just taking that and going forward and taking coaching."
Competing with a teammate can be awkward, especially when that competition leaves one without a job. But that's life in the NFL. It's been a quick adjustment for Andrews, who now looks like the Patriots' center of the future.
"You just got to go out and compete every day. No matter what's going on around you, you just got to get better because if you don't, someone, somewhere, is passing you," he said.
Mark Daniels writes for the Providence Journal of GateHouse Media.

Special Report: Saleh bin Muhammad Al-Luhaidan
By gulfinstadmin	 Last updated Sep 24, 2013
Washington DC – A Saudi government minister and Chief Justice instructed Saudis to fight American and Iraqi troops to raise the name of Allah, according to a secret recording obtained by IGA. (Click Here To Listen to Audio Clip)
Saleh bin Muhammad Al-Luhaidan said although there are many men in Iraq fighting the American invaders, those who want to join the fight against, must be careful when entering Iraq because the borders maybe monitored by American planes and satellites.
He said that those can enter Iraq safely with the intention of raising the word of Allah, won't be blamed. He also said that those who wish to fight (the Americans) need no permission from anyone, or need not be under a reputable leadership, but must dedicate their work to the sake of Allah.
Al-Luhaidan, made the remarks in October 2004 at a government mosque in Riyadh answering a group of Saudis who wanted to join terrorist organizations in Iraq.
Saudi Official Support of Terrorism in Iraq
Saudi official support of terrorism in Iraq is not limited to the religious institutions but extends to the Saudi Security apparatus.
Saudi Assistant Minister of Interior Mohamed Bin Naif who is in charge of fighting Al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia is allegedly involved in supporting and allowing Saudis trickling into Iraq to join Zarqawi and other groups.
In June 5, 2004, a high ranking member of Al-Qaeda said in a taped statement prior to his capture August 5th that Mohamed Bin Naif has offered him a safe passage to Iraq.
Fares AlZahraini said that Shaikh Safar Al-Hawali who acted a mediator with Mohamed Bin Naif, told him via email that Bin Naif will protect and support him if he chose to travel to Iraq (1). (Click Here To Listen To Audio Clip)
In November, 26 Saudi clerics, 21 of them are government officials issued a fatwa calling on Muslims to join the fight against American troops and the Iraqi government (2). None of the clerics were questioned or punished by the government who is trying jailed democracy reformers. Shaikh Salman Al-Odeh, the principal figure of this fatwa, is closely tied to Mohamed Bin Naif.
Saudi Terrorism, Unabated After September 11
The majority of Arab terrorists and suicide bombers in Iraq are Saudis, according to a study by Global Research in International Affairs Center (GLORIA) (3).
The result of Saudi officials support for terrorist in Iraq has been deadly. Hundreds of American soldiers and thousand of Iraqi police, soldiers and civilians have been killed by suicide bombers since 2003.
In December 22, the son of a senior Saudi diplomat who held a diplomatic passport carried out the suicide attack that killed 19 US soldiers in a mess hall in Mousel.
According to the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, 23 Americans soldiers were killed by suicide bombers, 101 killed by car bombs, 3 killed by suicide boat bomb, and one was killed by suicide truck bomb(4).
Saudi Double Talk on Terrorism: Reality and Public Relations
Book: Saudis Destroyed Islam's Holiest Stone
The Saudi Embassy in Washington DC published statements by several Saudi official clerics such as Luhaidan condemning terrorism. But the real face of Luhaidan came clear in the private recording (5). The embassy quoted Luhaidan's and several government clerics condemning terrorism as part of a public relations effort to dispel the charge of terrorism against the Saudi government following the attacks of September 11, carried out by 15 Saudi hijackers plus four others.
Who is Al-Luhaidan?
Shaikh Saleh Al-Luhaidan is the President of the Supreme Judicial Council (Chief Justice) with a rank of a minister, and a member of Council of Senior Clerics, the highest religious body in the country and is appointed by the King. Luhaidan whose four-year term for both positions was renewed April 11 by the King, would oversea any trial of alleged Al-Qaeda Saudi terrorists if they occur.
The Supreme Judicial Council is responsible for reviewing all the capitol cases in the country such as murder, and terrorism. It acts as a Supreme Court. In addition the council is in charge of nationwide judicial appointments, promotion, and transfer.
The Saudi embassy Information and Islamic Affairs offices both distribute printed books and materials authored by Luhaidan. Neil Jubeir runs the Information Office and runs Misaed Al-Jarrah runs the office of Islamic Affairs.
Al-Luhaidn's Ties with Saudi Crown Prince
According to Saudi press reports Saleh Al-Luhaidan meets frequently with Crown Prince Abdullah and other senior members of the ruling family. In April Al-Luhaidan met twice with Abdullah (6). (Click Here to See a Photograph of the meeting)
Complete English Text of Al-Luhaidan
President, Supreme Judicial Council and Chief Justice
(Unclear recording) – one of them asks, "We are a group of people who go to Iraq and Lebanon and they behave in accordance with this statement. Can we support them with money, provided that we know under which banner of jihad they operate, and provided that we are familiar with the mujahideen?"
Purely with regard to the men in Iraq — there are many men there. Entering Iraq has become risky now. It requires avoiding those evil satellites and those drone aircraft, which own every corner of the skies over Iraq, and pay special attention to the borders, cutting the road before all who come and go.
If someone knows that he is capable of entering Iraq in order to join the fight, and if his intention is to raise up the word of God, then he is free to do so.
He who intends to donate money must be sure to verify that the people receiving it are capable of benefiting the cause, and that they are honest in what they say, because they might pocket the money and then go here or there without sound intentions. At this moment in time, we must proceed slowly, acting in accordance with the flow of events. At present the nights are pregnant, and we pray that their labor pains will be a defeat for the enemy.
Last week, after one of the daily lessons, one of the students came up to me and (unclear recording) he rejected what I had said to him, namely, that he who wages jihad needs no permission, nor must he be under a banner of jihad. All that is required is that his actions conform to the rules of true jihad. The lawfulness of his action actions is in [the fact that he is] fighting an enemy who is fighting Muslims and came for war. The intention of the fighter must be to raise up the word of God. He [the student] disagreed and we had a discussion on this subject.

ArcaneBet is a Curacao licensed bookmaker which is first and foremost esports focused.
The bookmaker is a part of the London based company Galaxy 88 Ltd, the group which has the Curacao licence and is also the one behind Vitalbet, X-Bet, Buff88, BetJoe and MasterMazuma.
ArcaneBet has been a member of the Esports Integrity Coalition (ESIC), a non profit which has a growing membership of esports stakeholders such as league and tournament organisers, bookmakers, gambling regulators and more. Other members include the likes of ESL, DreamHack, Betway, the UKGC and plenty more. This group is aimed at, surprise surprise, ensuring integrity in esports which includes fair play, adherence to a set of agreed upon rules and regulations and a zero tolerance stance when it comes to foul play and cheating.
Whilst it hasn't been too active in the way of sponsorships, ArcaneBet did move to title sponsor the second second of the Balkan Pro League, for which it partnered with GameAgents. This was a CS:GO competition which took place in April 2017.
Customers at the bookmaker can choose to bet on one or more of the following games: League of Legends, Dota 2, CS:GO, Overwatch, Rocket League, StarCraft 2, Clash Royale, CrossFire, Call of Duty, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch FIFA and World of Tanks.
The bookie also offers some markets in football (soccer), tennis, basketball and ice hockey. It also maintains a casino offering.
ArcaneBet is esports betting focused meaning it is, naturally, live betting focused too. The live section is good at times, there is even some live streaming (which it notes is supplied by a third party), but when nothing is on, it literally offers a line of text stating just this. With this in mind it needs to do more to better engage customers when on the platform.
Payment methods include Bitcoin as well as a range of other more standardised ones including Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill, inpay, Paysafecard, and more.
Catering to a global audience of esports and betting fans ArcaneBet is available in five languages; English, Russian, Germany, Chinese and Spanish.
ArcaneBet has a Discord channel (which is one sign it knows its core audience of gamers) and there are rewards for members of this group. Speaking of rewards, it offers an introductory offer for new customers which is a match of up to $100 (or Euros) but this is of course subject to the usual turnover. ArcaneBet accepts Skins deposits too, once again showing who it is catering to.
The Curacao licensed bookmaker has a support system consisting of an online chat platform (which reverts to the email offering when not online), and a helpline. The mobile version of the site is okay, and generally the layout is simple and easy to navigate through. There is a help desk for FAQs, and even esports betting guides linked (though they're hidden away at the bottom of the site). ArcaneBet is a member of GamCare. Another notable offering is the Partial Cashout feature.
When it comes to catering to esports punters there are few who are doing it well right now. ArcaneBet is one of them, and whilst it may lack certain features, you'd be hard pressed to try and prove that it doesn't know its core audience.
– Full and partial cash out option.
– Customer support is not open 24/7.

It should contain five or six beers.
All of which should be available from the same supplier.
At a cost of around £40 maximum for the lot.
First up, she recommended Spontanbasil, a collaboration between Lindemans (Belgium) and Mikkeller (Denmark), a lambic beer made with fresh basil leaves. It cost (brace yourselves) £13.50 for a 750ml bottle and its ABV is 6%.
When I first encountered this beer in Copenhagen last May I knew I had to have it. Do you like basil? If you don't, you probably won't like this beer.* I think this is done so well though, like a fresh, fizzy pasta sauce (no tomato notes, though). From the first sniff, you know what you're in for, and the tart aspect to it just, well – it won my heart.* I must have drunk at least*six*bottles of this beer last year.
Now, we as it goes, we do*like basil, but, at the same time, we've yet to be terribly convinced by herbs in beer. When we tasted a load of saisons last year (http://boakandbailey.com/tag/saisons2015/), for example, we generally turned our noses up at the ones laced with thyme, rosemary or other green, twiggy plants*usually found in a pot outside the kitchen door.
And, on top of that, we are also*Mikkeller sceptics and actually gave up on ordering the Danish not-really-a-brewery's beers after a run of particularly disappointing (and expensive…) bottles in 2014-15.
Though the idea seems outlandish, and though the aroma of basil was big, it was also, somehow, subtle — sharp and bright rather than the aniseedy, garden-weed stink that comes off the elephantine basil our local grocer sells in big bags. Before we even tasted the beer, we found ourselves thinking of lemon zest, too, perhaps because the basil suggested summery salads?
Sometimes beers with herbs in, through the power of association, end up tasting oddly savoury but, thankfully, there was none of that here. Instead, it was like a bright, cheery, refreshing fruit cup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_cup)*(see also Brew By Numbers Cucumber and Juniper Saison (http://boakandbailey.com/2014/06/beery-highlights-week-london/))*the sourness well balanced with sweetness. You might expect a beer in this style, at this strength,*to be hard going but, no, we found quite the opposite:*it had*was more like a*tart, fizzing, easy-to-down*soft drink (homemade lemonade, San Pellegrino) than a so-called Extreme Beer.
Negatives aside, it is a cheeky, clever, sort of amusing (ahem (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/James_Thurber)) beer and we certainly drank it very happily. It's good, too, to have tried a beer with basil because that is definitely something that, rather to our surprise, really works. Consider our horizons expanded.
We're very grateful to Dina for taking the time to put together suggestions and notes and are already looking forward trying beer no. 2 from her list, Wild Beer Co/Beavertown Blubus Maximus, which we'll be writing up in the next week or two.


Fairly common in Kitsap and Island Counties. In King County, common at low elevation, becoming much less common at moderate elevation and uncommon and local at high elevation. In Kittitas County, common primarily at moderate elevation, becoming uncommon closer to Cascade crest. Only one record along Columbia River, contra Washington Gap report's predicted distribution along entire Kittitas County shore (Smith et al. 1997). This small woodpecker prefers hardwood and mixed forests, residential areas with hardwood trees, and hardwood-dominated riparian areas.

Graduate Studies Seminar by Atila Alvandpour
13 Apr 2015 4.00pm to 5.00pm SUTD, Lecture Theatre 5, Building 2, Level 5, Room 2.505
Worldwide, there is a rapidly growing demand for future smart integrated systems, aiming to enable a host of emerging technologies for future mobile communications, medical devices/healthcare, safety and security, automotive, energy management systems, smart buildings and consumer electronics, Internet-of-Things and much more. Design of such complex technologies is a highly multidisciplinary task, requiring a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills across several engineering disciplines and scientific fields. This presentation gives an overview of our research activity on integrated circuits and systems at department of Electrical engineering, Linköping University, Sweden. Furthermore, several examples of the research projects and achieved results will be discussed, aiming to illustrate some of the key system design challenges and the need for strong multi-disciplinary knowledge and cooperation. These include ultra-low-power ICs for medical implant devices such as pacemakers, energy-harvesting integrated power management systems for self-powered medical implants and for other low-power wireless sensors, low-cost integrated infrared network camera for surveillance of critical infrastructures, integrated system for microcirculatory blood flow imaging, and wideband radio transceiver front-end technologies for high-speed wireless communications.
Atila Alvandpour received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Linköping University, Sweden, in 1995 and 1999, respectively. From 1999 to 2003, he was a senior research scientist with Circuit Research Lab, Intel Corporation. In 2003, he joined the department of Electrical Engineering, Linköping University, as a Professor of VLSI design. From 2004 to 2014 he was head of Electronic Devices Division, and since 2014 he is head of Integrated Circuits and Systems Division. Also, he is currently the vice head of the department. His research interests include various issues in design of integrated circuits and systems in advanced nano-scale technologies, with special focus on data converters (ADCs and DACs), analog front-ends, sensor readout and data acquisition systems, energy-harvesting and power management systems, analog/digital baseband and RF frontends for multi-Gigabit/s radio transceivers, low-power wireless sensors, clock generators/synthesizers, as well as multi-GHz digital circuits and building blocks.
He has published more than 100 papers in international journals and conferences, and holds 24 U.S. patents. Prof. Alvandpour is a senior member of IEEE, and has served as a member of technical program committees for many IEEE and other international conferences, including the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Conference, ISSCC, and the European Solid-State Circuits Conference, ESSCIRC. He has also served as guest editor for IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.

A total solar eclipse will occur on March 20, plunging parts of the earth into temporary darkness. But that's not all that's unique about this Friday. This year's solar eclipse coincides with two other celestial events: the vernal equinox (the first day of spring) and the supermoon (when the new moon is closest to earth and appears up to 14% bigger than other new moons).
The last total solar eclipse on the spring equinox occurred on March 20, 1662 – 353 years ago!
Check out this board for an activity idea and curated resources for your students to build background information about these remarkable events.
Great resource – thanks for sharing. I will be sharing with my staff this afternoon.

Man Arrested for Torturing Minors to Cook Dog Meat
Published: 31st July 2015 08:36 AM | Last Updated: 31st July 2015 08:36 AM | A+A A-
LUCKNOW: An eatery owner in Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida city has been arrested for torturing three minors and forcing them to cook dog meat, police said on Friday.
The three children aged between five to eight years were freed from his captivity late on Thursday.
The children accused the owner of the restaurant - My Spice Cafe' in the officers colony in Gamma I sector - of ill-treating them, brutally assaulting them and forcing them to cook dog meat.
An official told IANS that the children bore injury marks and their nails had been plucked by Avinash Kumar, the eatery owner.
The children also said the eatery owner subjected them to electric shocks if they refused to cook the dog meat which was cooked for Nigerian youth living in the area.
Police recovered five dogs from the restaurant.
A neighbour, Praveen Bhati, met them a few days ago and asked why they were crying. Bhati was shocked to hear their story and immediately informed the police which followed the complaint with a late night raid. The restaurant has been sealed.
Another partner of the restaurant Mukesh Rajput is absconding.
The minors have been sent to a children's home and police are trying to trace their parents.
"In our preliminary probe, it has come out that the children are from Jharkhand and were sold to the accused eight months back," an official said.


The first move was the migration, in 2010/2011 of 504 desktops from Microsoft Office to OpenOffice. The second, decided in November 2014, was a U-turn: sorry, we were wrong, let's migrate to the latest and greatest from Microsoft, that is Office 365, to do lots of things better, even working in teams and online.
First, the actual costs for OpenOffice training in 2011 were the same as the maximum declared for Office 365 training in the new migration. A fact that, joking, we may also consider as an official confirmation, from Microsoft itself, that switching to Open or Libre Office is not more expensive, as far as training is concerned, than switching version of Microsoft Office. But I'll get back to this in another article.
Third, this is not even a comparison between apple and oranges, but between apples and fruit salad, home delivered. Office 365 does much more than OpenOffice or Libre Office, and this cannot be ignored. Of course, if one can or wants to eat only apples anyway, he'd better not buy the fruit salad.
Fourth, costs, and where they end up. The money that Pesaro spent (badly) on OpenOffice at least remained, I suppose, mostly in Italy, to benefit italian tax office and workers. Microsoft, instead, pays VAT in Ireland. This said, let's look at some figures. Pesaro did a U-turn because, says the report mentioned above, using OpenOffice cost 530 Euros per employee/year, while Office 365 should only cost 197, which become 112 once you factor in the 85 Euros saved on phone calls, business trips and other activities, thanks to the teamwork features and cloud support of that suite.
each employee of Pesaro wasted 380 Euros per year to fight the problems above? I believe that without any effort, but please look at those problems. Blessed are those who have not seen (that is, actually endured any change of office suite in those conditions) and yet have believed that software must be used properly, and only after fixing brains and procedures. Those are almost all problems that OpenOffice only brought to daylight, caused by resistance to change, or lack of competence. There is little there that is OpenOffice fault, even if OpenOffice does have flaws. Above all, as long as staff and management remain the same, doing the same things, it's hard to believe that those costs will drop to ZERO by just changing software.
subtracting from the 197 Euros that Office 365 would cost as mere office suite the 85 Euros saved on phone calls, business trips etc, is correct, in my opinion: apples vs home-delivered fruit salad, remember? But is correct only if, at the same time, one also does add the cost of the home delivery. The cost, that is, of newer hardware and connectivity, since at least the second voice is unavoidable if everybody is to work through the cloud as promised. Where are those costs?
the expense of using OpenOffice from 2010 to 2014 was 300K Euros, of which 210K estimated as follows: in the four years considered, moving from one suite to another showed to be very expensive, in terms of time spent converting files, rewriting macros and much more, resulting in one full person-day per year, for 350 employees.
From that estimate, and using 150 Euros as average cost of one person/day (both numbers feel fine to me) we obtain exactly 210K Euros (350*4*150). But the parts in bold in the quote above had led me to believe that they were talking of what, in the report tables, is called costs for lost operativity recurring each year ("costi operatività utenti finali"). The only "210K" in the report, instead, is already included in another row of the same tables, the one called "quota annuale dei costi una tantum per la migrazione" that is "yearly quote of the una tantum cost of migration". Now, unless the same cost was added twice (and calculating it in different ways each time), where do the "costs for lost operativity recurring each year" come from, especially considering that they are three times higher than the "una tantum" part? Again, I'm not sure about this part. Of course I'll let you know when I get explanations.
The first image of this post comes from an article commenting the fact that, just in the 2014/2015 season, the soccer team of Pesaro gained… "the second relegation of the new century". Too good a coincidence to not use it.
We have seen that all the costs and data published so far must be explained better, and used with careful consideration. As far as I am concerned, however, they already confirm what I said at the beginning: both migrations bring consequences and open issues, both for the critics and for Pesaro, that still must be discussed. I'll do that in the next post, so stay tuned.
