INDENTATION TEST
The first standardised hardness indentation test, developed by Brinell in 1900, used a spherical indenter of hard steel or tungsten carbide, after which a pyramidal indenter was developed in 1925 by Vickers. It was soon found that diamond was the most suitable material to perform an indentation test, its shape being gradually refined over the last 50 years. Microhardness testing, as the logical successor to conventional hardness testing, operates with loads in the range 0.01 – 2 N and the size of the residual indentation can still be measured via optical microscopy, although very small imprints nearing the resolution limit of optical methods cannot be measured accurately. In order to measure hardness using an indentation test with even lower loads, a different method has been developed which does not rely on assessing the size of the imprint, but instead continuously measures the penetration depth and load as an indenter (of known geometry) is pushed into the sample material. With modern 'depth-sensing' instruments it is possible to measure displacements of a nanometer scale and so the term nanoindentation has now become widely accepted for this method.
Apart from simply measuring hardness, nanoindentation instruments are also able to measure other material properties such as modulus of elasticity, residual stress, time-dependent creep and relaxation, fracture toughness and fatigue. For very thin films and coatings, nanoindentation has become popular because it allows a wide variety of mechanical properties to be measured without removing the film from its substrate.
A typical load-displacement curve
A typical load-displacement curve is shown above. After initial contact of the indenter on the surface (contact load less than a few µN or less), the load is increased at a predefined rate to the desired maximum and then decreased, at the same rate, to zero. The unloading curve follows the partial elastic recovery of the sample material, and it is this phenomenon that allows the elastic modulus to be calculated. With a sharp indenter the contact area is initially small, and there is no distinct elastic region at the beginning of the test, i.e., the deformation has both elastic and plastic displacements from the outset.
One of the great disadvantages of nanoindentation is not being able to observe the experiment in real time. This has caused much misinterpretation of indentation mechanisms over the years, simply because people based their theories on the load-depth data, without actually seeing what is happening during the test. Even being able to image a residual imprint after a nanoindentation test (e.g., using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)) does not confirm whether a certain cracking event occurred during loading or during unloading.
The Alemnis Standard Assembly (ASA) mounted in-situ in a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) solves this limitation by allowing a direct observation of the contact zone throughout the nanoindentation cycle.
The advantage of in-situ nanoindentation demonstrated on a metallic glass where serrations on the loading curve could be mistaken for noise, but actually correspond to slip plane deformation as confirmed by in-situ observation in the SEM.

Q: Smallest and largest values of $\|\vec{v}-\vec{w}\|$ So I have this problem (self learning linear algebra) and I try to solve it using the indicated steps. Question is: Am I right, is this a valid answer? Obviously for me makes sense but since I'm just starting with maths maybe there's something wrong:

If $\|\vec{v}\| = 5$ and $\|\vec{w}\| =3$, what are the smallest and largest values of $\|\vec{v}-\vec{w}\|$ and $\vec{v} \cdotp \vec{w}$?

EDIT
I'd moved my initial answer to a full answer. See below.

A: Using cosine laws for first part:
$$\begin{align}\|\vec{v}\|^2 + \|\vec{w}\|^2 &= \|\vec{v}-\vec{w}\|^2 + 2 \cdot \|\vec{v}\| \cdot \|\vec{w}\|\cos{\theta} \\ \\ &\equiv \\ \\
\|\vec{v}\|^2 + \|\vec{w}\|^2 - 2 \cdot \|\vec{v}\| \cdot \|\vec{w}\|\cos\theta &= \|\vec{v}-\vec{w}\|^2 \\ \\ &\equiv \text{(Given the fact that $\|\vec{v}\| = 5$ and $\|\vec{w}\| =3$)} \\ \\
34 - 30\cos\theta &= \|\vec{v}-\vec{w}\|^2 \\ \\ &\equiv \\ \\
\sqrt{34 - 30\cos\theta} &= \|\vec{v}-\vec{w}\| \end{align}$$
And so the smallest value of $\|\vec{v}-\vec{w}\|$ will be 2 when $\cos\theta = 1$ (at $0$) and the largest value will be 8 when $\cos\theta = -1$ (at $\pi$).

Prev post: 7 Day Roguelike 2018: Day 1
Next post: Another Roguelike Lighting Demo
Pathfinding on a Grid
2018-02-15 in gamedev roguelikes algorithms
In this post I describe how to achieve sensible pathfinding of multiple NPCs in a turn-based, grid-based setting. When multiple NPCs are moving around on the same map, they can get in each other's way, which causes unusual-looking behaviour unless properly handled. This post builds up a pathfinding technique, identifying, and addressing, unusual behaviour caused by multiple NPCs interfering with each other.
I'll make the following assumptions:
there is a single player
the goal of each NPC is to become adjacent to the player
NPCs can't move through one another or the player
on their turn, the player, and each NPC can move 1 or 0 squares in a cardinal direction
the map is a 2d grid of squares, each of which is permanently either traversable or non-traversable
the cost of moving between a pair of adjacent, traversable squares is 1 (ie. the grid is uniform)
The approach I describe won't rely too heavily on any of these assumptions. I'm stating them here so as to remove any ambiguity in explanations. Generalising the pathfinding technique to rely on fewer assumptions is left as an exercise to the reader.
A note on diagrams: The player will be denoted with a @. Each NPC will be referred to by a letter. White cells are traversable. Grey cells are non-traversable.
Initial Approach: Follow a Dijkstra Map
The first approach will be to generate a map which stores, for each cell, the distance from that cell to the player. These distances are shown as the numbers in the top-left corner of each traversable cell in the diagrams below. The data structure storing these distances (generally a 2d array of numbers) is sometimes called a "Dijkstra Map". Here is an article elaborating on dijkstra maps.
A benefit of using a dijkstra map, rather than searching for a path for each NPC, is that the dijkstra map only needs to be recomputed each time the player moves. To determine which way an NPC should move, we need only consider the neighbours of that NPC's cell in the dijkstra map, choosing the one with the lowest score. This scales well as the number of NPCs increases, as there is only a small amount of work that must be done for each NPC.
The example above shows a single step for X and Y, where each moved to its lowest-valued neighbour. Note that Y chose arbitrarily between 2 cells equidistant from the player.
Gaps forming between NPCs
Here's the first problem with the current approach. Consider the following arrangement:
When X moves:
And then Y moves:
Everything seems fine, but what if Y had moved first? Since NPCs can't move through each other, the best choice for Y is to stay where it is, as any single legal move would only increase its distance from the player.
On X's turn, X would still move towards the player, creating a gap between X and Y, which looks unusual:
To prevent gaps from forming, we need to make sure that NPCs move in increasing order of their distance to the player (that is, the closest NPC to the player moves first, then the second closest, and so on). Since we generate a dijkstra map, it's easy to determine how far each NPC is from the player. Simply sorting NPCs by the value of their cell in the dijkstra map is enough to produce a turn order which avoids this problem.
NPCs getting in each other's way
Let's look at some cases where NPCs interfere with the movement of other NPCs.
On X's next turn, it will remain next to the player - there's nothing it can do to get closer to the player, so there's no need to move. (In a typical roguelike it would probably attack the player at this point.) What does Y do? None of Y's traversable neighbours are lower-valued in the dijkstra map than Y's current cell, so it will stay put, despite it being possible to eventually get closer to the @, by first moving north, into a higher-valued cell.
In the next example, assume X moves before Y:
X will move east, occupying Y's west neighbour. On Y's turn, its valid moves are to move east, into a higher-valued cell than its present cell, or to do nothing. If Y's goal is to get to the player in as few turns as possible, its best course of action is to wait where it is for one turn, assuming X will proceed south and make room for Y to continue moving towards the player. Y's alternative - moving east, and proceeding down the east edge of the map - will take longer.
What if there's a gap in the wall closer to Y. Assume X moves first again:
Here, it might make sense for Y to move east on its turn rather than waiting a turn before moving west. It may look more natural for Y to follow a longer path, than wait for the shorter one to free up, though the decision seems to depend on how much longer the longer path is.
Assume it's Z's turn. What should it do?
Here there's no path to the player, but rather than giving up, Z should probably still try to get as close to the player as it can. It seems like it should move east, south, south, on its next 3 turns, assuming nothing else moves.
After making the first move it finds itself here:
Looking at its immediate neighbours, it seems like Z could now go either south, or west - the neighbours in both directions are the same distance from the player. It is of course preferable for Z to move south.
This last case is important, as it shows that the presence of multiple NPCs means that it's never sufficient for an NPC to act purely on its neighbouring cells in the game grid and dijkstra map.
A solution which addresses all these cases, is for each NPC, on is turn, to examine all the cells reachable within a certain number of turns (3 turns will suffice for all the examples here), and take the first step along the shortest path to the cell it just examined with the lowest value in the dijkstra map. If all the cells examined have a higher value than the NPC's current cell, it doesn't move at all.
It's worth noting that this won't necessarily get every NPC as close to the player as possible.
Will Z go east or west, looking for the best cell up to 3 moves away?
It could go either way! If it had looked 4 moves away, it would have noticed that going west gives the potential to eventually be 1 move from the player, while going east, the closest it can get is 2 away. Note however, that in this example, W will move first (it's closer to the player than Z), and W is close enough to notice that going west is better, so it will go west, getting out of Z's way and allowing Z to move forward.
To improve an NPC's decision making, you can increase the number of cells it examines before moving. The specific number depends on the nature of the game and the individual NPC. In typical games, where NPCs die and the player moves around, sub-optimal-but-still-pretty-good decision-making by NPCs won't have a noticeable effect on gameplay.
Before any NPCs move, if the player has moved since the dijkstra map was last computed, recompute the dijkstra map based on the player's current position. Now, produce a list of NPCs sorted by the value of their cells in the dijkstra map, in increasing order. NPCs will take their turns in this order. On each NPC's turn, examine all the cells within a certain number of moves from the NPC, without allowing moves through other NPCs. Of the cells examined, identify the one whose value in the dijkstra map is lowest. If no cell has a lower value than the NPC's current cell, the NPC doesn't move that turn. Otherwise, the NPC takes the first step along the shortest path between its current cell and this cell. This causes NPCs to move towards the player in a sensible way, without the influence of other NPCs causing unusual-looking behaviour.

Ethiopia's Oldest Football Club plans to Raise 244 Million Birr from Sale of Shares to Fans
Ethio Soccer Soccer Sport
Rahel Samuel
The oldest and popular football clubs in Ethiopia, Saint George Football Club, which is in the process to establish a share company, anticipates to raise 244 million Birr form the sale of shares to its fans, The Reporter has learnt.
The board of Saint George Football Club hired Fairfax Africa Fund as its strategic adviser in this endeavor. In a meeting held on Sunday at the Millennium Hall the board announced that the shares of the planned share company will be floated as of April 1, 2019.
Zemedeneh Negatu, chairman of Fairfax Africa, told The Reporter that his company has discussed with the board of the Saint George Football club, the association and fans, and took inputs to develop a strategic direction. "We are advising them how best to raise capital for the most popular football club in Ethiopia," Zemedeneh said.
Fairfax Africa has prepared prospectus for the planned share company, financial structuring and financial forecast and business model. According to Zemedeneh, the main purpose of the proposed share company is to sustain the football club. "The share company would venture into any business activity that could generate sufficient revenue that would enable it to finance the club. They would use the money to finance the construction of the Saint George Football Club stadium, to bring talented players etc," he said.
Zemedeneh said, the majority of the shares-51 percent- would be sold to fans and the remaining 49 percent shares to corporate sponsors of the football team. The par value of each share is 1000 Birr. The share would be exclusively sold to members of the Saint George Football Association who pays their monthly dues.
The management of corporate sponsors of Saint George Sport Club including Derba Cement, Moha Soft Drinks, Horizon Plantation and BGI Ethiopia attended the public meeting on Sunday and indicated their keen interest to buy sizable shares. "Even before the shares are floated 90 percent of the expected capital has been subscribed by fans and corporate sponsors. It is spectacularly a successful share offering," Zemedeneh said.
The promoters will start floating shares on April 1 and will remain open for six months.
Saint George Spot Club, which was founded in 1935, has 100,000 members. The club which has won the Ethiopian Premier League title 13 times since 2000, is owned by the Saint George Football Association and has been buoyed by prominent businessmen and staunch supporter of the club, Abinet Gebremeskel , who is chairman of the board, and Ethiopian born Saudi billionaire Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi.
The amount of capital planned to be raised is 244 million Birr from the sell of shares. Zemedeneh said Saint' George Football Club Association will contribute 94 million Birr of the asset into the new share company as capital contribution and the actual new capital contribution will be 150 million Birr in cash from new share offerings.
Abinet Gebremeskel, board chairman of the Saint George Football Club, told The Reporter that he has been working on this project for the last two years. "When I first came up with the idea I faced resistance and there was gossip going around the public. We first proposed that the par value of each share is 100,000 Birr. Then some fans said that I wanted to sell sell the club for the rich," Abinet said.
Abinet said the whole objective of the proposed share company is to strengthen the club adding that the share company will not pay dividends for shareholders in the first ten years. "We will use the money to complete our stadium and there are also other projects that we need to finance."
According to Abinet, the proposed share company would buy shares in Ethiopian Airlines and Ethio Telecom if the government pursues its plan to privatize the leading public enterprises. "There is a plan to set up a stock market in this country and we will also venture into that." He also stated that the share company could incorporate a football academy and a sport center that comprises of a swimming pool and fitness center.
"The Saint George Football Club Association has assets valued at 94-97 million Birr. The association will contribute this asset to the new share company. I need to raise 30 million Birr from fans. The remaining capital would be raised from our corporate sponsors," Abinet said. "Since the majority of the shares will be owned by fans they will have the say. I myself would buy shares as a fan, "he added.
Abinet said that some fans fear that if the share company goes bust,it would inflict harm on the football club. "No that,it is not going to happen because we have secured sufficient funding for the football club for the coming years," Abinet said. "The most important point that our fans should know is that Saint George Football Association and the Share Company are two separate entities," he added.
He noted that Saint George Football Club garners 30-40 million Birr annually from its corporate sponsors. Derba Cement used to grant twenty cents from the sale of each bag of cement. This has increased to thirty cents since 2017. Derba agreed to make increment every year as of 2021. "Every year it will increase its grant by two cents," Abnet said.
Moha Soft drinks which supports the club in many ways provides five million Birr per annum. "But considering the inflation rate they increase the funding. For instance, if they provided us five million Birr this year next year they would give us 5.5 million Birr," Abinet said.
BGI, Saint George biggest sponsor, avails largest support to the football club. The oldest brewery in Ethiopia, St. George Beer, pays 20 million Birr in sponsorship payments to the club.
Abinet said Saint George is the first club to establish a share company in Ethiopia adding that if other football clubs follow suit the country's football could move forward. However, he says the country's commercial law is a dragging force in venturing into businesses. "We have been through many hurdles to establish this share company. Even naming our company is a challenge. We could not name the company St. George Investment Group as the commercial code does not recognise business group or holding company. I urge the government to revise the commercial code and ease doing business so as more group of people venture into investment projects," he concluded.

Sometimes, I really simply need to throw my phone into the ocean and by no means fear about calling or texting anyone once more. I used to be skeptical if you informed me to stop "chasing her". Pricey Kim, One 12 months submit therapy and we are still going strong. I still can't imagine that lower than two years in the past my wife asked me to maneuver out of the home. She was satisfied it was hopeless and issues would by no means change. I was mail order brides service skeptical when you instructed me to stop "chasing her". I couldn't imagine how giving her space would assist her love me once more but it worked! As you recognize, what started as marriage counseling with only me ended with us both dedicated to the method. Thank you again for all your assist and the compassion you showed us. I never would have believed this last 12 months was attainable once I contacted you the first time.
At the finish of the day, the women in our lives are searching for leaders. They're looking for assertiveness. They're in search of males with energy, passion, drive, and motivation. Odds are you may have limited amounts of that left. The world could have beat you up with financial russian brides for marriage problems, well being problems, divorce, job loss, sickness and injury. It's good to study to face on your own two feet. And, when you do, she is going to reply.
Let's begin with how you can actually learn about texting. The very first thing it's good to know is that learning methods russian brides to text a woman just isn't like learning math. In different phrases, while you study that 1 + 1 = 2, you needn't study anything to grasp it better. You've realized the code, and now you are achieved.
Break the touch barrier There are a number of methods to touch a woman without being sleazy. Maintain her coat whereas she places it on. Offer her your hand when she's stepping on an uneven floor. Maintain out your hand so you'll be able to lead her by a crowd, catch her if she stumbles, and hug and high russian wives-5 her when she's euphoric. If she's nervous, put your hand calmly on her shoulder to consolation her. These are all polite methods to get a little bit nearer to somebody with out being creepy.
One thing that I've really helpful my friends do before dates (and I have been on quite a bit— over 300, to be exact ) is a tactic I've used earlier than: I look within the mirror and say five russian wives things out loud that I like about myself. Focusing on my positive attributes fairly than worrying about my insecurities or perceived imperfections makes me feel immediately better.
If you want to impress her, wash and clean your car. Ask her what sort of movie she likes or what she likes to eat and make reservations at a restaurant you understand she will russians brides love. Take time to create an evening that she's going to discover magical. What will impress her is the care you took and the respect you had for her to take that time.
My advice: speak with him about the severe degree during which the shortage of intimacy has left you in, in that you are compelled to need to decide about the way forward for the connection. Explain to him this is not meant to be a risk, it's relatively to have a serious dialogue to help him to understand that the two of you are actually headed within the path of divorce for the connection is unhealthy and also you need him to work with you collectively as a staff to create a wholesome relationship. Either russian wives we are working collectively or towards each other. When you talk about the diploma of seriousness to the place this is headed with out assist, if he's still not keen to get help to save your marriage, then you might be left with a decision to remain and settle for truly that he won't change even with the marriage on the road, or you will need to then be the one to end the relationship when you cannot settle for the fact of the relationship as it's.
Boring messages that have no level. Some examples embrace How you doing?" or What's going on?" They WILL NOT set you apart from the opposite guys who are at present speaking to the lady you need hot russian brides to discuss to. I'm a fat, bald, brief guy whose only high quality is that he is not an ax murderer. I wish to discover the One, the special relationship that will final many years and multiply happiness. Relationships are multipliers of life experiences.
There comes a time whenever you face the fact that the dating sport is a waste of time and that you must quit with the fantasy it's a must to have somebody to validate your existence. That is especially true for girls. There comes a time when it's an train in futility, particularly in case you are past fifty. I wrote the entire russian wife dating sport off by the time I used to be 30; the men merely weren't there anymore. I made a decision to deal with myself and reside life on my phrases. Never regretted it. The one drawback in being never married is economic, and it is a huge one for girls, however even then I by no means felt it was a fair trade to give up the whole lot only for some guy.
Also, in reguards to the article, any chick who's dumb enough not to be suspicous of a boyfriend" she solely sees twice per week is obviosly not really in search of a severe relationship anyway. No marvel she's dating a complete douche bag… She's possible dating different russian wives douche bags on the similar time, and he's also too dumb to comprehend it. Maybe it is best to sneak and look at her cellphone and sift via her messages… simply sayin…. it goes both ways.


HONG KONG -- Developing Asia this year will grow at its slowest pace since 2001, according to an updated forecast by the Asian Development Bank.
The ADB said Tuesday it expects developing Asia's 45 economies to grow 5.8% in 2015 and 6% in 2016, down from the 6.3% rate it predicted for both years in March. The region posted growth of 4.9% in 2001.
In cutting its forecasts, the Manila-based development lender cited worsened prospects for the region's two largest economies, China and India, and slow recoveries in advanced economies including the U.S. and eurozone.
Other headwinds in play include weakening currencies, falling commodity prices and fears over capital outflows. "Risks have increased but it is still manageable if countries can implement macroprudential policies to increase their resilience against financial shocks," said Shang-Jin Wei, the bank's chief economist, at a press briefing in Hong Kong.
Growth in China will slacken to 6.8% in 2015, down from the 7.2% forecast earlier this year and below the 7.3% posted in 2014, the bank predicted. This compares with China's official growth target of 7% for this year.
The bank tied its lowered forecast to slowing Chinese exports and investment. An aging population and rising wages will further translate into lower gross domestic product growth, reiterating the need for a different growth model for China, Wei said. "Higher wages mean the scope for low-wage-based growth becomes narrower and the need for innovation- and consumption-based growth rises," he added.
Consumption contributed 4.2 percentage points to China's GDP growth of 7% in the first half this year, the ADB said. The labor market remained resilient, with 7.2 million new jobs created in urban areas in the same period.
Wei said that robust retail sales, energy and consumer confidence data for the last two months "suggest that the talk about the collapse of China's growth rate is likely to be overblown."
China's recent stock market turmoil is not an accurate reflection of the health of the world's second-largest economy. "Our judgment is that it will be unlikely to have a major long-lasting effect on China's growth in the medium term," Wei said. "Like in many countries, the stock market in China is not a good market forecast."
The ADB trimmed its forecast for India for growth this year and next by 0.4 percentage points, too, as delays in key structural reforms and the weak global economy are holding back momentum.
Vietnam is one of the few economies whose prospects are improving, in the ADB's view. It raised its growth forecast for this year and next by 0.4 percentage points. The bank cut its forecast for growth in Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, by 0.6 percentage points amid slowing investment and declining private spending.
Despite a dimmer economic outlook, Asia remains the largest contributor to the global economy, accounting for about 60% of global growth, the ADB said. However, capital outflows from the region are expected to accelerate when the U.S. Federal Reserve raises rates, which could hurt growth. ADB data shows that capital outflows from developing Asian markets reached $160 billion in the first quarter this year.
A stronger U.S. dollar particularly poses a threat to Asian companies with large debts in the U.S. currency. For instance, more than 70% of borrowings by companies in Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Indonesia are denominated in foreign currencies. By contrast, in Laos, companies hold more foreign currency assets than liabilities.
To mitigate financial shocks arising from a U.S. rate hike, the ADB has urged policymakers in emerging economies to establish liquid domestic financial markets and implement macroprudential regulations.
"This may entail some capital flow management such as limiting reliance on foreign currency borrowing," Wei said.


On our recent food hunting, we came across Abu Dhabi's famous Observation Deck at 300 located at Jumeirah Etihad Towers — one of the most iconic and leading 5-star hotels in Abu Dhabi. The observatory will give you a stunning and amazing skyline view of the city of Abu Dhabi in a 360-degree panorama.
The hotel is located on the western side of Corniche Street and opposite Emirates Palace — another great landmark in Abu Dhabi. The Observation 300 Deck is at the 74th level of Tower 2.
The whole city skyline including skyscrapers, villas, parks, and islands. You can enjoy all of these views while sipping your favorite tea and eating French pastries and sitting comfortably on their couches and chairs.
With its 5-star luxury rating, there's no wonder that their service is also as luxurious as their hotel facilities. Their staff was very kind and hospitable.
In-house guests can enjoy the amenities of the observatory for free, while walk-in guests need to pay AED 85.00 for the entrance but are consumable for AED 50.00 worth of foods. They have some luxury choices ranging from French pastries, international flavors of salad, and wide choices of mocktails and international wines.
We ordered their Thai Style Beef Salad which included cucumbers, tomatoes, spring onions, mangoes, sweet chilis and coriander dressing.
We also ordered Roast Sirloin of Beef, Red Onion Jam and Wild Rocket in a Brown Baguette. The baguette is quite hard but overall it is tasty and freshly made.
For drinks, we ordered the Etihad Sparkler (this is my favorite so far) which included apple juice, elderflower syrup, peach puree, passion fruit purée, grenadine syrup, lemon juice, soda water and fresh cut fruits.
Hubby ordered the Red Velvet which included peach and strawberry purée, lemon juice with fresh cut fruits.
Note: All foods are exclusive of taxes and municipality fee. You still need to add 20% to your total bill.
1. From Al Wahda Mall you need to take Bus 32 and drop at ADNOC TOWERS then walk around for about 5-10 minutes.
2. You may take the taxi but it will be much more expensive than taking the bus.
Thank you for sharing this, been looking for info about this for a while.

'Cats' Trailer: They Really Made a 'Cats' Movie
Matt Singer Published: July 18, 2019
Man they weren't kidding about the "digital fur technology." Look at all the digital fur technology! Look at all the Cats!
Here it is, ahead of schedule; the first trailer for Cats. The Cats look like ... cat-type people? Sort of like the costumes from the old Broadway show it's based on? But also with more digital fur technology? I'll be honest with you: I do not know how to process these images, directed by Tom Hooper, and based on the famous musical. It's Cats! They're cats! The sets are gigantic to make the actors look cat-sized.
Here's the film's official synopsis:
Cats stars James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Taylor Swift, Rebel Wilson and introduces Royal Ballet principal dancer Francesca Hayward in her feature film debut. Featuring Lloyd Webber's iconic music and a world-class cast of dancers under the guidance of Tony-winning choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton, In the Heights), the film reimagines the musical for a new generation with spectacular production design, state-of-the-art technology, and dance styles ranging from classical ballet to contemporary, hip-hop to jazz, street dance to tap.
Do you want more pictures of Cats? You definitely do. Look at this one:

Trump Administration Ending Exceptions (SREs) for Iranian Oil Importers
April 22, 2019 1:10 PM EDT
President Trump's Decision Aims to Strangle Iran, Reduce Oil Exports to Zero
U.S. President Donald Trump, left, speaks about tax reform on Wednesday September 27, 2017. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, right, speaks in a campaign rally for May 19, 2017.
President Donald Trump has decided the United States will not reissue Significant Reduction Exceptions (SREs) for existing importers of Iranian oil. The move aims to reduce the nation's oil exports to zero and targets the regime's number one source of revenue.
"The United States, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, three of the world's great energy producers, along with our friends and allies, are committed to ensuring that global oil markets remain adequately supplied," the White House said in a statement. "We have agreed to take timely action to assure that global demand is met as all Iranian oil is removed from the market."
Even with SREs, which exempts eight nations from U.S. sanctions, the Trump Administration has reduced Iran's oil exports to historic lows. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday the U.S. is "dramatically accelerating our pressure campaign" when SREs expire in early May.
"We stand by our allies and partners as they transition away from Iranian crude to other alternatives," Secretary Pompeo said at a press conference.
The State Department echoed the White House on steps taken to ease the transition and limit price volatility within global markets.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently noted the U.S. became the world's largest oil producer in 2018, and will topple Saudi Arabia as the largest exporter in 2019. By early 2019, the U.S. exported a record 3.6 million barrels per day of crude oil.
"This, in addition to increasing U.S. production, underscores our confidence that energy markets will remain well supplied," Secretary Pompeo said.
He stated the timing of the decision was "calibrated" to meet U.S. national security objectives while "maintaining well supplied global oil markets."
"Today's announcement builds on the already significant successes of our pressure campaign," he added. "We will continue to apply maximum pressure on the Iranian regime until its leaders change their destructive behavior, respect the rights of the Iranian people, and return to the negotiating table.

MOVIE REVIEW: American Assassin
19 Sep 2017 0 shares 9 views
Dir: Michael Cuesta
Starring Dylan O'Brien, Michael Keaton, Sanaa Lathan, Taylor Kitsch, Scott Adkins, David Suchet, Navid Negahban, Shiva Negar, Alaa Safi, Trevor White
Everyone still seems to be keen to get a slice of the elusive 'Bourne Pie'. Lee Child's Jack Reacher character has been brought to the big screen to middling effect; we've been seeing Jack Ryan movies since the 1990s, and while long-running action heroes can find their place rather easily in the box office line-ups of today, one or two really struggle to find their own identity. It's often difficult to adapt novels of this nature to film – and American Assassin, reportedly based on the first of a long line of Vince Flynn novels about maverick gunman Mitch Rapp – rather wrestles with tone and purpose on its way to throwing out anything particularly satisfying. Neither as expertly-paced nor as nicely crafted as, say, 2016's The Accountant – though nowhere near as mind-numbingly dull (see Triple 9) or downright cretinous (London Has Fallen) as some other action movies of last year, American Assassin rather flounders about, struggling to find itself an identity amidst a pleasing, but through-the-motions cast.
The plotline will be fodder enough for the right viewer – Mitch Rapp (O'Brien) is out for revenge, and who can blame him – having lost his mother and father at an early age and having witnessed his fiancée murdered in a terrorist attack, he's a trigger-happy rogue with enough blood lust to want to infiltrate the terrorist cell responsible for his sweetheart's demise – and, it's safe to say, the CIA are impressed. Finding himself recruited as part of a black ops squad impressed by Rapp's freelance free-firing, he's placed under the wing of veteran Stan Hurley (Keaton), who is – of course, a grizzly old sod – and you know the rest. Rapp, meanwhile, is a rather intense young man – and even the CIA can't rein him in.
Let's start with the positives. The movie is packed full of eye-catching action and the stunt work is marvellous – for sheer spectacle alone, if your choice of entertainment largely revolves around big, daft action sequences peppered with gritty realism and moments of genuine discomfort – as well as a taste for vengeance – then dive right in. Everything else is disappointingly brainless – a capable cast is thrown into a story that's so well-trodden to the point of it being slightly farcical – and though vengeance flicks have always fared well, American Assassin never quite finds itself an even keel to operate on.
The keel that I talk about is tone – while there is clear intention for the movie to try and operate in some semblance of a real-world environment, this is largely done away with by the time that the movie starts getting into the swing of throwing sheer action at the screen. There's definite hope here in the earlier moments of the movie – where it does seem like it is about to go against the grain of much of the genre before it – though it is all too keen to wade back into tropes, exposition and more besides that we've seen so many times before. Again – the action and the stunt work is brilliant – and by far the main selling point that American Assassin has to offer – but it has an odd, wavering tone and focus that prevents it from going anywhere particularly memorable.
American Assassin - Official Trailer (CBS Films)
The cast is largely well-chosen, though O'Brien may not necessarily be the best choice as a lead of this calibre. The character of Rapp is intense and vengeful and this is often played to almost cartoonish effect – he won't even play by the CIA's rules, audible gasp – and another actor may have been able to play these characteristics off in a different manner. Michael Keaton is given plenty to do, though a lot of his dialogue is comprised of cookie-cutter action speech and clichés that last went out of vogue twenty years ago – he's dependable, but he's acting for the sake of the film here – and he never has to try particularly hard to satisfy in this regard.
American Assassin just isn't sure what it wants to be. It's clearly aiming for gritty and often stomach-wrenching – but at the same time, the big, daft moments, while well-choreographed, just don't slot in well. Add in a plot that appears to advise against vengeance while actively pushing it into your face and you have an extremely ambivalent picture that never really goes anywhere particularly worthwhile. Whether this is a film that we are meant to laugh and revel at – or think deeply about – the jury will always remain out. As it stands, if gritty spy drama painted in big, dumb action moments sounds up your street, this is a nice diversion for a while – but it'll never come to more.

"Raphe Faryndon, at your pleasure." Raphe straightened up from his bow and stretched out his hand.
Wynefrede looked up at him, at the way his hair flopped down over his eyes, his slightly crooked smile, and his warm eyes. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Margarett and Benedicta being pulled out onto the dance floor by two other gentlemen.
"You look familiar," she told Raphe. "Have we met before?"
"Four hours ago, at the Chubb-Baggins Leper Sanatorium and Heritage Medicine Hospital."
"No, that's not it."
"I made that joke about dancing skeletons."
She shook her head.
"And yesterday, on the trip to the Krim historical society. I dropped a vase on your foot. Again, I'm so sorry."
"I have no memory of that."
"The day before, I was taking a stroll around Grosvenor Circle and you joined me, and we stopped at a bakery for marchpane cakes."
"I remember the cakes," Wynefrede said. "But I've met so many people these last few days that I've been having trouble keeping track."
Raphe held out his hand again. "Would you care to dance? Maybe I can make a more memorable impression if I trip and fall in an amusing way."
She took his hand.
It took a couple of minutes for Wynefrede to find the rhythm. She'd only learned the basse dance a few days before and this was her first chance to practice it for real. Raphe counted the steps out loud but soon enough they both had the hang of it.
"By the time the Royal Season is over, we'll probably be good enough to enter dance competitions," he said.
"Or open a dancing school."
They spun around, narrowly avoiding a collision with another couple. "
"So you're a princess," he said. "Is that because you went for the premium package, or because you know the organizers? Or maybe the queen herself?"
"Me? None of those. My parents? Probably all of the above."
"Having the right parents — that is very period-appropriate," he said.
"And you? What's your fake Krim title?"
"Viscount. Viscount Raphe Faryndon. A very lowly title, I'm afraid."
"Does that mean that you're broke?"
"Relatively speaking, probably," he said.
"So what brings you to the Royal Season?"
"The usual," he said. "The end of a long-term relationship, followed by several years of throwing myself into my work. Now I've got some time off and wanted to do something completely different. A cousin of mine had been on one of these a few years ago, raved about it, so here I am. And you?"
"I like to keep my parents happy. And they want to see me happy. They think that being alone makes me sad and unhappy and keep trying to fix it."
"Are they wrong?"
"You mean, am I perfect happy being single? You must have read the gossip column."
"Are you kidding? The font was illegible and the spelling was atrocious. I couldn't get through more than a sentence of it. One of the servants read it out loud to me. It made me feel like an illiterate snob."
"It's odd to have servants, isn't it?"
"I keep having to remind myself that they're real people, not bots," Raphe said. "But some people really take to it. It's a little disturbing. I'm glad that I'm not actually living in the 1500s. Seeing people being treated as if they were less than human would be difficult. I'd have a hard time being a noble back then."
"Who says you'd be a noble?"
"True. Odds are, I'd be a lowly peasant, spending his whole life carrying sacks of grain back and forth while rats nibbled on his toes."
The song ended, and they drifted towards the balcony, accepting glasses of wine from servants along the way. Then ended up leaning on the stone parapet, looking out over the gardens. These, two, were lit by hundreds of small lights.
"The thing I like most about being alive today is today I'm a viscount, and tomorrow I might go back to school, major in medieval studies, and be back here as a guard or a servant next year. It's nice to be treated like royalty, but its probably even more fun to hang out with the working stiffs and gossip about the royalty behind the backs."
"It sounds like you're confessing to being the Nightingale."
"Me, no," he said. "I'm bad at spelling, but not that bad."
"I think the spelling mistakes were intentional. For historical authenticity."
"Still, not really my thing. Also, the gossip was a little cruel. Even if any of it was true, which I doubt, the writer probably took minor incidents and blew them up out of all proportion."
"So you're saying you're not secretly a murderer?"
"Not that I know of. But the night is still young, and Nigel has been very annoying."
"Who's Nigel?"
He turned back towards the ballroom. "He's the chap in the purple jacket dancing with Benedicta."
Benedicta was easy to spot in the crowd. She was taller than most other women there and had a full head of long, wavy hair that was very nearly orange. Nigel must have been the shorter gentleman dancing with her. Wynefrede caught glimpses of his face as he spun around.
"What did he do?"
"He keeps trying to pick a fight. He desperately wants to fight a duel with a romantic rival. If he comes calling at your residence, make sure he leaves his sword at the door. Otherwise, you might wind up with some nasty blood stains in your parlor."
"Maybe he's the secret murderer," she said, giving Nigel another look.
"You sound intrigued," he said.
"Maybe that's because I'm also a murderer and having a hobby in common would give us something to talk about."
Haha, Wynefrede remembers the marchpane cakes, but not Raphe.
Raphe sounds simpatico.
The chapter ends on a very mysterious note. Is Wynefrede in fact a murderer? Did she commit a fake murder in a virtual world? It doesn't seem likely that she could have perpetrated a real murder.

Chicago Fire: You win some, you lose some

Chicago Fire 1- Atlanta United 2: Loss
After two road games, the Chicago Fire came back home to Toyota Park to host the Atlanta United. The last time the two met the Fire played with 10 men early in the game and eventually lost the game 4-0.
Starting XI
Richard Sanchez; Kevin Ellis, Johan Kappelhof, Damian Lillard, Brandon Vincent; Dax McCarty ©, Mo Adams; Elliot Collier, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Aleksandar Katai; Nemanja Nikolić
Chicago Fire coach, Veljko Paunović kept the same lineup from the previous week against Toronto FC, but in a different formation, Schweinsteiger was moved up from the back line to attacking midfield in order to create scoring opportunities for Nikolić and Katai.

The Fire dominated the first half by keeping Atlanta on their toes in order to minimize them from scoring. The Fire was aware that Atlanta could find space and exploit it by creating a scoring opportunity. But once the halftime whistle blew the score was 0-0.
Subsequently, 8 minutes into the second half, Atlanta's Ezequiel Barco scored the first goal of the night with an assist from Miguel Almirón. Then 4 minutes after that, it was Josef Martinez who scored the second goal for Atlanta. Ultimately in the 61st minute, Fire's, Kevin Ellis scored his first goal of the season with a half-volley and the last one of the match.
The Fire played a midweek game against The Montreal Impact.

Chicago Fire 1- Montreal Impact 0: Win
Richard Sanchez; Kevin Ellis, Johan Kappelhof, Damian Lillard, Brandon Vincent; Mo Adams, Dax McCarty©, Bastian Schweinsteiger; Alan Gordon, Aleksandar Katai, Nemanja Nikolić
After losing to Atlanta United 4 days prior, the Chicago Fire were looking to defeat the Montreal Impact. This time Fire Coach, Veljko Paunović added Alan Gordon to the starting lineup. Currently, both teams are battling for the middle of the table so this game is an important one.
It took 34 minutes into the game of Aleksandar Katai to find a scoring opportunity, but unfortunately, Impact defender, Daniel Lovitz was there to clear the ball and keep the score an even 0-0 in the first half.

The Fire bounced back in the 89th minute when defender Kevin Ellis scored the only goal of the match for the Fire marking the final score 1-0. The Fire tend to dominate in the second half, and having young talented players on the bench aides them when its time to sub in to keep the momentum going in the final minutes of the game.
Chicago Fire's Mo Adams aided the team greatly with his defensive skills. He was all over the field stopping Impact's Ignacio Piatti from putting them on the board. He was not awarded Man of the Match, but he sure made an impact.

The Chicago Fire were coming hot from New York after defeating the Red Bulls and were anticipating to trounce the reigning MLS Cup Champions, Toronto FC. Just 48 hours prior to this match, Toronto lost their final game against Las Chivas de Guadalajara in Mexico for the CONCACAF Champions League title. Seeing that the Fire was on a weeks rest, it was apparent that they were going to take advantage and try to win another 3 points on the road.
The first half was dominated by close calls that led to 3 separate occasions where Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was used. The first time was in the 8th minute when Toronto's Jonathan Osorio scored the go-ahead goal. The reason VAR was used was because Sebastian Giovinco was offside when he passed the ball to his teammate Osorio.
Despite using VAR, the referee made the incorrect call, the goal stands, and Toronto is up 1-0 early in the game. 3 minutes later, VAR was used once more to rule out a second Toronto goal- this time Giovinco put the ball in the net and was assisted by Nicolas Hasler who was ruled offside on the initial playthrough.
But in the 22nd minute, Victor Vazquez scored Toronto's second goal with an assist by Michael Bradley. The third and final time VAR was used was in the 36th minute when Chicago Fire's Nemanja Nikolić was hurt inside the box by Toronto defender, Ashtone Morgan-the call was ruled a penalty, which Bastian Schweinsteiger took and missed. The Fire is down 2 goals at the half.
"This is the reason why we love this game."

Eye of the Schweinsteiger
In the second half, the Fire did what they do best, which is hustle. Schweinsteiger moved from his spot as defender and took on a midfield position in order to open space and create scoring opportunities. Twenty-five minutes into the second half, Schweinsteiger scored Chicago's first goal of the match. After pressing Toronto, the Fire equalized the score in stoppage time. Schweinsteiger and Johan Kappelholf assisted Alan Gordon who scored the final goal of the match.

A much needed win for Chicago

Saturday, April 21: 1-2 Win

After a devastating loss at home, the Chicago Fire were looking to gain points against the New York Red Bulls. The odds were stacked against the Fire because, in the last 5 matches against the Red Bulls, the Fire lost 3 and drew 2. Plus, very few clubs have defeated the Red Bulls on their own turf.
But with help from goalkeeper, Richard Sanchez and a strong back line, and Aleksandar Katai, the Fire successfully gained 3 points. This victory was one for the books, it was important for building self-confidence and drive in a team which has been struggling to find their groove.
Fire coach, Veljko Paunović has been tinkering with the starting lineup. Given that the team has been struggling defensively and have 5 seasoned players on the injury list.
During the first half, the Fire was playing a defense that they did not press enough when gaining possession. Then on the 28th minute Katai missed a scoring opportunity that lead to two consecutive corner kicks.
After the second corner kick, the ball deflected onto Katai's left boot, which is a contender for goal of the week, if not goal of the year. Shortly after Katai's goal, Sanchez denied the Red Bulls not once, but twice in a single sequence. At the end of the half the Fire were up by one.
😱😱😱😱😱😱#RBNYvCHI #cf97 https://t.co/TzvbyBM5HO
Throughout the second half, the Red Bulls were pressing the Fire, but Sanchez was there to stop them from scoring. In the 68th minute, Katai was on a 1 v 1 with Red Bull's keeper, Luis Robels and was tipped inside the box, which earned the Fire a penalty. Nemanja Nikolić took the penalty and scored a second goal for the Fire and summed his goals to 5 for this 2018 season.
In the 70th minute a Red Bulls goal was annulled, but 10 minutes later New York's, Bradley Wright-Phillips takes advantage of a loose ball and scores one for the Red Bulls. 4 minutes were added to stoppage time, which accelerated the game- but alas, the final whistle blew and the Fire won and earned 3 very important away points.
As the Fire beat the odds, in a very memorable way- Sanchez totaled 9 saves and has earned a spot in the MLS team of the week roster. Nikolić scored his 5th goal putting him 1 behind Atlanta United's Joseph Martinez.
Mo Adams is the 5th player to make his MLS debut in the last 6 games. Up next, the Fire are headed to BMO Field to face defending MLS Cup champions, Toronto FC at 2:00 PM CST.

On a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon, the Chicago Fire faced the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Fire were coming from their first win while their opponent was coming from a loss to Sporting Kansas City. So the Fire were hoping to carry on that momentum and defeat the Galaxy. Toyota Park was sold out; people came to see the "Clash of the Titans" Bastian Schweinsteiger vs Zlatan Ibrahimović – former Manchester United teammates.

The Fire played a heavy defensive first half. With defender Jonathan Campbell making his return to the lineup after a facial fracture and Schweinsteiger reappearing at center back, the once frail defense has gained some strength. As the weak defense was gathering strength, the midfield was lacking and the Fire could not connect with each other, thus losing possession many times in the midfield.
It took 45 +1' for Ibrahimović to score a goal with an assist by Galaxy captain, Ashley Cole. The halftime whistle blew and the teams took some time to warm up and regroup.

In the second half, fans expected the Fire to pick up and take more of an offensive stance. Although the Galaxy dominated the first half they shared possession with the Fire. In previous matches, the Fire tend to gain momentum and score, plus the wind was blowing in the Fire's direction.
There were a handful of scoring opportunities, which were not seized. The final whistle blew with the score marked 0-1 and so the fans were left out in the cold to witness another loss.

On a brisk Saturday night, the Chicago Fire won their first match of the season. After last week's match against the Portland Timbers, Fire coach, Veljko Paunović warned fans that the Fire will have to "prepare for a tough couple of months" due to the team's weak defense. With that said, and a couple of changes made by Paunović, the Fire defeated their Midwest rivals, the Columbus Crew.
The Fire scored early in the first half on a mistake by the Crew's keeper, Zak Steffen, who tried to pass the ball to one of his own but Nemanja Nikolić was there to intercept the pass, and then score. The Fire was able to hold onto the lead at the half.

The second half was intense; the Crew had more possession and shots on goal, two of which were saved by the crossbar. In the 75th minute, Columbus put the ball in the back of the net but the referee marked it offside. Moving Bastian Schweinsteiger to center back aided the Fire and the weak defense. Schweinsteiger logged 11 defensive clearances. In the end, the Fire escaped with a win- it was not a pretty win but it was an important one.
A huge defensive effort helped earn @BSchweinsteiger a second consecutive @MLS Team of the Week selection!

This match was goalkeeper, Richard Sanchez's first shutout game in his 6 games with the Fire. He also won Man of the Match for keeping a clean sheet against the Crew.
Rookie, Diego Campos made it to the starting lineup at mid after a stellar performance during the Timbers game the week prior. During the match with the Crew, Campos created two opportunities to score but did not have his teammates there to help him close the play.
Drew Connor recorded his first start of the season.
Grant Lillard made his MLS debut when he was subbed in at the 36th minute.

On a very windy Saturday, the Chicago Fire gathered their first point of the 2018 season. After having a week off, the team had extra time to figure where mistakes were made in their previous two matches and prepare for the upcoming match vs the Portland Timbers. But somehow those same mistakes were echoed and made for a grueling 90 minutes of soccer on a day that was outshined by other great MLS matchups.

The party started early, fans celebrated with Nemanja Nikolić and his family when he was awarded the Golden Boot for his outstanding scoring performance last season. Six minutes into the kickoff whistle, Portland's Diego Valeri scored the first goal of the match. After that first goal, the first half was run by the Timbers. The Fire had very little possession time and could not capitalize to equalize the score.
The halftime whistle blew and the score was 0-1. Paul Tenorio asked the captain a question before he met with the team in the locker room. The question was, "What do you think will have to change?" McCarty's answer, "We need to press higher up the field, we are at home and we are letting Portland dictate the game."

The second half was underway and Chicago's coach, Veljko Paunović made one roster change- he subbed rookie, Diego Campos for Katai. In the 50th minute, Nikolić scored Chicago's first goal of the match with the assist of Schweinsteiger. Five minutes later, Portland would take the lead once more with a goal by Sebastian Blanco. It took the Fire almost 30 minutes and an excruciating amount of tries to equalize.
Brandon Vincent scored the second goal with another assist by Schweinsteiger. Once the game was tied the game seemed to take on a different pace, the Fire were kicking it up a gear and putting pressure on the Portland defense, but alas, the final whistle blew and the match ended 2-2.
The Fire broke a two-game losing streak and finally earned their first point of the season. Bastian Schweinsteiger won Man of the Match for his assists on both goals. But all eyes were on Diego Campos, the rookie made his professional debut and did so with such confidence.

No Niko, No Party.
This Saturday, Chicago Fire fans are set to celebrate Nemanja Nikolić as he will receive his Golden Boot for capping 24 goals in the 2017 season. The ceremony will be held before the Chicago Fire face the Portland Timbers.
Nikolić's journey with the Fire began on December 20, 2016, when he transferred from the Polish club, Legia Warsaw. During his time in Legia, Nikolić led the league in scoring with 28 goals in the 2015-2016 season; he was third in assists, he was named Player of the Year and Forward of the Year, and helped Legia win the league title.
Prior to his time in Legia, Nikolić played for the Hungarian club, Videoton FC, he spent 5 years in Videton and in the span of those 5 years he received many accolades. He either led or tied in overall scoring- with an exception in one season where he tied for third place. Additionally, he helped Videoton win the league title. At the end of his second season there, Nikolić was the runner-up for the league's Golden Boot.

In 2008, he made his professional debut in Kaposvari RFC, a Hungarian club where he capped 16 goals for the club. He was tied for second in overall scoring that season.
Nikolić came to the MLS a winner and continued his top-scoring streak with the Fire during the 2017 season. He chose to stay in Chicago and dedicate his time to the Fire instead of joining his national team, Hungary for qualifying matches. Ultimately his dedication paid off because he won the Golden Boot and helped the Fire reach the postseason for the first time since 2012.
With 2 losses in the 2018 season, the Fire is looking for some momentum to win their first game and this pregame celebration is the catalyst the team needs to continue to party with Niko.

Chicago Fire home opener
Saturday, March 10: 3-4 Loss
The air was crisp, fans were lining up to enter the stadium, kids high fived and took pictures with Sparky, the team's mascot. This day was one many fans were anticipating. The Chicago Fire had to wait an additional week to play their first game of the season.
Sporting Kansas City had lost their opener a week prior to New York City FC and was looking for a win. Hopes were high for the home opener, fans thought this game would be a win for sure, but what unfolded in the 90 minutes left fans at a loss for words.

The first half was dominated by Sporting KC. The team took an early lead in the 9th minute- Sanchez came off the line to make a save; the ball bounced off his hands and deflected right onto Felipe Gutierrez, who scored his first goal in the MLS. As the first half was coming to a close, Johnny Russell added one more goal for the away team.
The halftime whistle blew and the Fire was down by 2. Fans were getting restless but there was plenty of time to draw or end the game in a win. The Fire needed the halftime break to regroup.
NIKOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉 #cf97 https://t.co/VzQjjRlGph
In the second half, the Fire took fans on an emotional rollercoaster. First, Katai scored his first goal in the MLS. Minutes later, Nikolić scored the second goal of the game. Just then fans were in an uproar, cheering on the team, hoping for at least one more goal and 16 minutes later they got their wish.
Nikolić scored his second and the Fire's third goal of the match. Shortly after, Jimmy Medranda equalized after capitalizing from another blocked shot by Sanchez. At this point, a draw would suffice. But finally, in the 86th minute, Gutierrez scored his second and the final goal of the match to mark the final score 3-4.
Throughout the 90 minutes, the Fire played a messy game. Many passes were lost at midfield and the defense was not helping either. Sporting KC capitalized on mistakes made on the pitch. The Fire, however, showed that they can overcome a deficit but alas they couldn't earn 3 points at home.
The Fire return to action on Saturday, March 17, 2018, against Minnesota United FC at TCF Bank Stadium.

Where there's a spark there's a fire – Chicago Fire
Last season marked the Chicago Fire's 20th year in the MLS. The Fire was in need of serious change and last season was the spark the team needed to dig themselves from the last place to the top of the table. It was one of the quickest turnarounds in the club's history.
There were two significant player acquisitions last season that brought different sparks to the club: Bastian Schweinsteiger, who was an ambassador to the team by giving the Fire an international spotlight and Nemanja Nikolic whose skills kept old and new fans entertained. By the end of the regular season, the team qualified for playoffs for the first time since 2012 only to lose 0-4 against the New York Red Bulls in the first round. Despite the loss, there is hope that the team can build on the momentum of the 2017 regular season.
This season the Fire parted ways with David Accam, who accumulated 33 goals in the 2 years he played with the team. He was traded to the Philadelphia Union for $1.2 million in allocation money. The Fire also traded their starting goalkeeper, Matt Lampson to the Minnesota United. And finally, Arturo Alvarez was traded to the Houston Dynamo for a second-round selection in the 2019 MLS Super Draft. The team signed defender, Rafael Ramos from Orlando City; Aleksandar Katai, a forward from Deportivo Alavés; and midfielder Tony Tchani from the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Currently, there are 3 players who are injured: Djordie Mihailovic and Michael de Leeuw who both underwent ACL surgeries in November and will be out for 6 to 8 months and Jonathan Campbell suffered a facial fracture during a preseason game on February 21st and will be out for 6 weeks.
With the excitement of last season and the changes that are going on this season, the Fire will have the opportunity to play a game overseas. That game will be played on August 28, 2018, at Allianz Arena, home of the Bayern Munich. Bastian Schweinsteiger's testimonial match against his former club will serve as an opportunity to reach out to fans of the Bundesliga and expose them to the MLS, a young league with plenty of talent and potential.

Chicago Fire and me, we're a thing
February 13, 2018 MLSFemale	Leave a comment
My name is Daniela Calvo and I have been following soccer since I can remember. As a Mexican American, I grew up watching Liga MX with my father, a passionate Club America fan. My weekends were filled with nothing but soccer games and on weekdays we listened to Jorge Ramos on the radio. In spite of watching and listening to soccer with me, my father was surprised he raised a fanatic.
Summer of 1998 my uncle, cousin, and I attended many Chicago Fire games at Soldier Field. Not only was my uncle excited to have a team represent our city, but also because he can introduce the sport he loved so much to his son. Lucky for me he always bought an extra ticket. Despite the triumphs of the Fire's inaugural season my cousin never harvested an interest in the sport, which led my uncle to lose interest in the team as well.
A couple years after that, I would say the early 2000's I started watching FC Barcelona games on my own and the reason was Ronaldinho. The talent he brought to the team- his dribbling, set pieces, and long shots captivated me. He's the reason why Barcelona is my favorite European team. I spent years watching La Liga witnessing the rise of Messi, the integration of Neymar, and Puyol's retirement. All of that was great, but I felt like I was missing something.
The thing I was missing was the Chicago Fire. I wanted to watch games in person, rather than my computer screen. I attended my first Fire game in 17 years on March 2015 and I did not miss a single game that season. Despite being at the bottom of the table I was always excited to attend their games.
I started bringing my camera with me and captured fans supporting the team and enjoying the atmosphere. Those images introduced me to several great people in the Chicago Fire community. Now I can't wait to share my thoughts on this upcoming season with you via MLSFemale.

Traditionally, monetary policy in Latin America followed the recommendations of the missions of the monetary "doctors" who defended an independent central bank and a pro-cyclical monetary policy, adhering to the automatic adjustment of the gold standard. A key function of central banks was to support fiscal stability. The effects of the Great Depression and its aftermath in the periphery countries questioned these recommendations and gave way to a shift in monetary policy. An illustrative example is provided by the creation of the Central Bank of the Argentina Republic (BCRA) under the auspices of Raúl Prebisch, and the technical assistance missions of the United States Federal Reserve to several Latin American countries some of which were led by Robert Triffin. Prebisch actively participated in mission to Paraguay and the Dominican Republic bringing the experience he had acquired as director of the BCRA and the tools devised to adapt monetary policy to a changing external context and circumstances. The use of the discount window and exchange controls, among other instruments, was seen in this new view as necessary to pursue counter-cyclical policies and to provide support for industrialization and full employment in the periphery.

In a recent interview with Business Insider, the head of HR for LinkedIn, Pat Wadors, offered some advice to job-seekers, especially 20-somethings, and what they can do to succeed in the workplace.
Wadors herself has three millennial children of her own so the advice she gives is the same she tells her own kids.
First, Wadors suggests that job seekers think of the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears where certain things are going to be too much or too little of this or that but there are others that are just right.
Statistics show that on average, millennial employees are spending on average just three years at any one job. Some refer to this as job hopping. While some may see this as a negative, Wadors feels that if younger workers look at it from the perspective of building a set of job skills rather than simply pursuing more money, it can actually be a viewed as a positive.
Even if it isn't your dream job, think long term.
When Wadors was a guest speaker at the University of Southern California's Annenberg graduate school for journalism and communication earlier this year, she was asked by a student who was undocumented whether she should settle for a company that would sponsor her citizenship, even if the job being offered to her wasn't exciting to her, or if she should use that year her ideal job instead. The student told Wadors and the audience in attendance that she wanted to pursue her dreams in the US because there were far fewer opportunities in her home country.
Wadors later discovered that the student who had posed the question took her advice.
Wadors advises those who are just out of college to realize that they don't have to achieve the end goal right out of the gate. They have time and by keeping their eyes and mind open, opportunities will present themselves and show them the way to a successful career.

United States Trade Representative: Who Is Michael Froman?
The Wall Street revolving door to government is spinning like a top in the Obama administration. The most recent titan of high finance to join the federal government is Michael Froman, whom President Barack Obama nominated on May 2, 2013, to be the next U.S. Trade Representative, a position located in the White House that functions as the President's lead negotiator on all international trade matters. If confirmed by the Senate, Froman would succeed Ron Kirk, the former Dallas mayor who resigned as trade representative in February after serving the whole of Obama's first term.
Born August 20, 1962, in San Rafael, California, the son of Abe Froman, who ran a furniture store, Michael Froman graduated from Tamalpais School for Boys, now the Branson School, in 1981. He earned an A.B. in Public and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Princeton University in 1985, a doctorate in International Relations at Oxford University in 1988, and a J.D. at Harvard Law School in 1991, where he was a classmate of Barack Obama and served with Obama on the staff of the Harvard Law Review. At Oxford, Froman's dissertation was entitled "The Development of the Idea of Detente in American Political Discourse, 1952-1985."
After graduating law school, Froman served as liaison for the American Bar Association Central and East European Law Initiative legal assistance program in Albania. He was also a member of the Forward Studies Unit of the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium.
After the election of Bill Clinton to the presidency in November 1992, Froman immediately joined his administration, serving as director for International Economic Affairs on the newly-created National Economic Council and the National Security Council from January 1993 to December 1995.
Froman then went to work for Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, serving as deputy assistant secretary for Eurasia and the Middle East from January to December 1996, focusing on economic policy toward Russia and Central/Eastern Europe, as well as the economic aspects of the Dayton Accords, and as Treasury chief of staff between January 1997 and July 1999.
As the Clinton years wound down, Froman followed Rubin to Wall Street, joining Citigroup (2012 revenues: $70.17 billion), as chief of staff in the Office of the Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of the Internet Operating Group from December 1999 to January 2001. He held other positions as Citi as well, including president and CEO of CitiInsurance, head of Emerging Markets Strategy, and COO and managing director of Citigroup Infrastructure Investors at Citigroup Alternative Investments.
Although Froman lost touch with Obama after Harvard, he advised Obama on policy during Obama's 2004 Senate campaign and introduced him to Robert Rubin, eventually serving on the 12-member advisory board of the Obama campaign's transition team. Froman also functioned as a prodigious fundraiser for Obama, especially among younger Wall Street Democrats, bundling at least $200,000 in contributions. Froman and his wife have donated a total of $56,560 to Democratic candidates, parties and outside spending groups since they started donating in 2000, including $7,700 to Obama.
After the 2008 election, Froman returned to the White House, serving as deputy assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, a position held jointly, as during the Clinton years, at the National Security Council and the National Economic Council.
Froman is married to Nancy Goodman, the founder and Executive Director of Kids v Cancer, which she started after the death of the couple's son, Jacob, at age ten from medulloblastoma, a rare form of pediatric brain cancer. They have one son, Benjamin, and one daughter, Sarah.

Anselm Leonard Strauss (* 18. Dezember 1916 in New York City; † 5. September 1996 in San Francisco) war ein US-amerikanischer Soziologe.

Strauss, dessen Großeltern aus Deutschland in die USA ausgewandert waren, wuchs in Mount Vernon auf. Er studierte an der Universität von Virginia und erhielt seinen Ph.D. von der University of Chicago, wo ihn Herbert Blumer symbolischen Interaktionismus gelehrt hatte.

Strauss veröffentlichte zahlreiche Beiträge zur Medizinsoziologie. Zusammen mit Barney Glaser entwickelte er in den 1960er Jahren den Ansatz der Grounded Theory. Strauss' Schülerin Kathy Charmaz entwickelte daraus die konstruktivistische Grounded Theory.

Wissenschaftliche Arbeit
Strauss, ein Schüler von Herbert Blumer an der Chicagoer Schule und Mitarbeiter von Everett C. Hughes, veröffentlichte bereits früh Arbeiten zur Sozialpsychologie in der Tradition von George Herbert Mead. In den 1960er Jahren wurde er mit seinen empirischen Krankenhausstudien zu Tod und Sterben international als Medizinsoziologe bekannt und entwickelte zugleich – gemeinsam mit Barney G. Glaser – den Forschungsstil der Grounded Theory in der interpretativen Sozialforschung.

Strauss setzt sich in seinem Werk Mirrors and Masks umfangreich mit dem Identitätsbegriff auseinander. Die Grundthese lautet, dass der Mensch die anderen als Spiegel betrachtet, die das Bild reflektieren, welches der Mensch gerne von sich hätte. Um dieses Bild zu erzeugen, trete der Mensch mit Masken auf. Nach der Definition von Strauss ist Identität unmittelbar mit Interaktion verknüpft. Strauss gibt an, "wer Identität untersuche, muss sich notwendig für Interaktion interessieren, denn die Einschätzung seiner selbst und Anderer vollzieht sich weitgehend in und wegen Interaktion."

Strauss' wichtigster Beitrag zur Entwicklung der interaktionistischen Sozialtheorie besteht in der Überwindung der auf Blumer zurückgehenden sozialpsychologischen Verengung des Interaktionismus. Indem er auf im Symbolischen Interaktionismus nur unzureichend rezipierte Elemente pragmatistischer Sozialphilosophie und Epistemologie (Charles S. Peirce, John Dewey, William James, George Herbert Mead) zurückgreift, kommt er zu einer stärkeren Betonung von Perspektivität und Prozesshaftigkeit von Sozialität und bezieht dabei auch die Materialität von Körper und Umwelt explizit mit ein. Unter dem Einfluss der arbeits- und organisationssoziologischen Perspektive Hughes' öffnete Strauss den Interaktionismus zudem stärker für strukturelle Aspekte von Gesellschaftlichkeit.

Seine sukzessive auf der Basis einer Vielzahl empirischer Studien entwickelte und erst 1993 zusammenhängend ausformulierte interaktionistische Handlungstheorie basiert auf dem Grundgedanken der Hervorbringung gesellschaftlicher Strukturen in fortgesetzten Aushandlungsprozessen (negotiated order, processual ordering) zwischen Akteuren als Repräsentanten sozialer Welten (Theorie sozialer Welten). Dieser Ansatz erweist sich als besonders anschlussfähig für die Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung, die Organisationssoziologie sowie die Medizin-, Gesundheits- und Sozialarbeitsforschung.
