This grad burnt his degree to protest Falmouth's decision to suspend the Art Foundation course
He sent the ashes back to uni in an envelope
Megan Hill
Some people burn incense, some people burn their ex's belongings in a pent of rage – Tom Stockley decided to burn his degree.
Following the decision of Falmouth university to suspend the Art Foundation course, graduate Tom Stockley got thinking about the way universities go about creativity. With the dusty ashes of what was once his degree, he sent an accompanying letter to the Vice Chancellor, Anne Carlisle (yes, the one who's pay went up 20 per cent last year to over £280,000). Within this, he made some pretty powerful points about the decision made by the university he dedicated four years of his life to.
Tom Stockley, Art grad, degree burner
The letter mentions how this decision has caused people to lose their jobs and those who had hopes of completing their foundation course in Falmouth now how to wave goodbye to that opportunity. Tom goes on to make the point that a lot of us are thinking- universities are turning into businesses and the creative courses seem to be getting the brunt of it.
"As I've said before, creativity is not for sale and we are not your business. After four years, I am not just a Bachelor of Arts but a Bachelor of Anxiety – How much more will we have to pay for what was free a generation ago? What part of our lives will be cut next because it doesn't generate enough income? If my education has been about profit, does it matter who I am and what I've learnt?"
Tom mentioned how he no longer wants to be associated with what universities are becoming. Foundation courses are crucial to budding artists as it allows them to test their reigns and understand what is the right creative path for them- without it, it's like diving into a pool without testing the depth.
"But I learnt that this experience comes at a price – that, like our health and social care, many universities are governed by a business-centric callousness. It's a prostitution of education at the expense of others that I no longer want to be part of."
The overall point that Tom Stockley is making here is that universities are undermining the necessity and importance of art degrees and foundation courses. This powerful statement seems to encapsulate some of the frustration that has built up following Falmouth Universities decision. Photos have been uploaded to Tom's online portfolio showing each character on the valuable document dissolve into powder and smoke- like it is worth nothing.
"But I hope that you will begin to understand people's fears and frustrations, that our voice will be heard and that an honest and equal dialogue can be opened between us all."
The letter simply ends with: "Here's my degree – I don't want it any more."

ARRB opens brand new office in Sydney
by Australian Road Research Board on September 30, 2019
ARRB has opened a brand new office in Sydney, complete with a National Centre of Excellence for Driverless Vehicles and a unique collaboration space with Transport for New South Wales.
NSW Minister for Transport and Roads, the Hon. Andrew Constance MP, opened the new Sydney office and the National Centre of Excellence for Driverless Vehicles.
The state-of-the-art research and innovation facility will become the nerve-centre for Australia's driverless vehicle agenda and represents the culmination of a strong collaboration forged between ADVI, ARRB and Transport for New South Wales.
ARRB CEO and ADVI Chair Michael Caltabiano said: "This is an exciting shared facility because it is a space to work closely with ADVI's 130 program partners that are serious about developing and deploying autonomous vehicle technologies in local conditions."
"The Centre of Excellence also hosts guest lectures on self-driving technology, with a focus on helping the community understand, experience and accept the role that automated vehicles will play as part of a more modern transport system.
"The driverless vehicle industry is moving at such a rapid pace that it is critical for Australia to also keep up, and the Centre ensures that there is a focal point in Australia for global companies wanting to do business in Australia.
"The location of the Centre of Excellence in NSW also means that local companies and experts get early access to these opportunities, leading to enhanced international business opportunities for local experts."
The new office in 36-42 Chippen St, Chippendale. replaces the former ARRB office in Ultimo. ARRB has been upgrading its offices around Australia, rolling out new offices in Brisbane and Adelaide, as well as its new headquarters in Fishermans Bend, Melbourne over the past two years.
The opening of the NSW office coincided with the release of new data on Sydney's most frustrating commutes.
At the event, the National Transport Performance Centre, an ARRB initiative, presented the Driver Frustration Index for 11 critical journeys heading into the Sydney CBD, the most frustrating commute was travelling from the Northern Beaches with trips from the airport also ranking highly on the national index.
The official opening comes in the lead-up to the biggest vehicle exhibition and trade show of its kind ever seen in Australia, with driverless vehicles of all shapes, sizes and types set to showcase the very latest in Automated technology to the public at the Sydney Olympic Park forecourt at the 4th International Driverless Vehicle Summit from October 27-29, 2019.
This will be the first year that the international Summit has been hosted in New South Wales and brings together leading international minds with home-grown talent to showcase best-practice and a wide range of driverless vehicle technologies.

Q: How to pip install "lru"? I am trying to use a python deep learning module keras-audio to train from audio files (python 3.8.6, MacOS 10.14.6). However, after installing that module and trying to run an example I get the following error

Eduardo Rodriguez gains confidence after a three-inning outing.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — The clock is ticking but whether Eduardo Rodriguez can beat it is far less important to the Boston Red Sox than the way in which he arrives.
Healthy and powerful is how Rodriguez described himself Thursday.
After throwing three innings against minor leaguers in a controlled environment, Rodriguez walked away encouraged and hopeful his season would get off to a strong start, and soon.
Rodriguez will throw in a minor league setting again in five days, which could leave him in line to start one of the final games of spring training if the Red Sox deem him ready.
Rodriguez is still building arm strength but has been happy with the progress since his surgery. It's the best he's felt since 2015 "before I had my first injury," he said.
He's posted a 4.23 ERA with a strikeout rate of 8.6 batters per nine innings over three major league seasons despite the knee injuries. The Red Sox won't rush him back. If he's not ready to start in the rotation for the regular season, his debut won't come too long after that.
• The Boston Red Sox scored three runs in the first inning and went to defeat the visiting Minnesota Twins 7-2 at Fort Myers, Florida, Friday.
BLUE JAYS: Left-hander Thomas Pannone was suspended for 80 games following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance.
ANGELS: Shohei Ohtani was rocked for seven runs over 1 1/3 innings in his second spring-training start for the Los Angeles Angels, allowing long home runs to Ian Desmond and Nolan Arenado of Colorado.
TWINS-YANKEES: Minnesota acquired outfielder Jake Cave from New York for right-hander Luis Gil in a swap of minor leaguers.
YANKEES: Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson is back at spring-training camp, three days after having knee surgery.
ASTROS: A person familiar with the negotiations said the AL MVP, Jose Altuve, and the team agreed to a contract that guarantees him an additional $151 million over five seasons from 2020-24.
REDS: Third baseman Eugenio Suarez agreed to a $66 million, seven-year contract that makes him part of the foundation for Cincinnati's long-term rebuilding.
NATIONALS: A person familiar with the deal said right-hander Jeremy Hellickson and Washington agreed to a minor league contract.
ED CHARLES, the third baseman known as "The Glider" who helped lead the Miracle Mets to the 1969 World Series title, died at age 84.

Q: Django ViewSet serializer_class is being ignored I have two models: ModelA and ModelB, with their corresponding serializers ModelASerializer and ModelBSerializer
In a specific viewset, called MyViewSet i have the follwing structure:
class MyViewSetRoot(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    http_method_names = ["get"]
    # The returned values are of type "ModelA", so I need it to use that serializer
    serializer_class = ModelASerializer
    queryset = ""

Finally, in my actual view, I do something like this:
class MyViewSet(MyViewSetRoot):
    get(self, request: HttpRequest, *args, **kwargs) -> Response:
        ModelA_queryset = ModelA.objects.all()
        return Response(
            data=ModelA_queryset,
            status=status.HTTP_200_OK,
        )

I would expect in that case for the queryset to be serialized using the ModelASerializer that I specified in the serializer_class field. However, I get the error
Object of type ModelA is not JSON serializable
If I do this instead:
class MyViewSet(MyViewSetRoot):
    get(self, request: HttpRequest, *args, **kwargs) -> Response:
        ModelA_queryset = ModelA.objects.all()
        serialized_queryset = ModelASerializer(ModelA_queryset, many=True)
        return Response(
            data=serialized_queryset.data,
            status=status.HTTP_200_OK,
        )

It works just fine, but I want to avoid serializing explicitly in the view.
Any ideas on what could be actually going on? Am I forced to serialize explicitly in this case?

A: I think you don't need to customize the get function. In ModelViewSet, the function for the GET API, is list or retrieve. But you don't need to redefine it.
class MyViewSetRoot(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    http_method_names = ["get"]
    serializer_class = ModelASerializer
    queryset = ModelA.objects.all()

class MyViewSet(MyViewSetRoot):
    pass

Q: jxpath with collection as root i have list of maps and want to get all maps with id = 2. when i wrap the list in a holder object, all works correctly (kotlin code):
class Holder(val value : Any)
val list = listOf(mapOf("id" to 2), mapOf("id" to 3))
val context = Holder(list)
val xpath = "value[id = 2]"
JXPathContext.newContext(context).iterate(xpath)

but when i try to get rid of the holder object:
val context = list
val xpath = "[id = 2]"

i get jxpath syntax error: Invalid XPath. how what's the correct syntax to work with collection as root object?

A: XML requires that there be a single root element, so XPath provides no way to select multiple root elements.
If you want to use XML, you'll have to wrap your collection of elements with a single root element.

A: found the answer. you can do it using /.[id=2] or .[id=2] syntax

2019 Pre-Draft QB Rankings
The quarterback position is seeing a bit of a resurgence in fantasy football these days due to the continuing emergence of 2QB and Superflex formats. While I am not big a Superflex devotee I do enjoy the format and I won a few 2QB expert leagues in 2018. I want to make a run at repeating if I can. So you know I care about what I'm writing in this space.
This year's quarterback class is an unusual one for sure. I mean, most people have a QB1 who is just a sliver over 5 foot ten. That man, Kyler Murray, is my QB1 as well, and my QB2 is a guy with only a single season as a starter,—which is also the case with Murray, by the way. So my top two quarterbacks have attempted a combined collegiate 1,109 passes. For perspective, Baker Mayfield attempted 1,497 by himself. Daniel Jones, my QB4 attempted 1,275 over the last three seasons at Duke. Yes, this is an unusual board, but it's where the tape has brought us, so let's get into it.
And, remember, these rankings and tiers were made with fantasy football in mind. My real NFL draft grades would be a bit different. I may add a few more quarterbacks on Thursday if I have enough time.
I'll be back tomorrow early in the day with the wide receivers.
2019QBRookiePD
1 1 Murray, Kyler Oklahoma 5-10 1/8 207 9 4/8 I said most of what I wanted to say about him in our pre-combine report. Nothing's really changed save for him weighing in pretty heavy and not doing any drills to validate his agility at said weight. It's about fantasy and Kyler is a potential fantasy star in the Cam Newton mold—a guy who can legit pass and run in mass statistical quantities. Could Murray be here at just the right time with the new NFL rules protecting QBs? In 2QB formats he's at the top of my board. He's just so good from a technical point of view. The feet are phenomenal both in terms of talent and technique. The arm is strong. His ability to process what he sees is top shelf. This kid is advanced. He can play right away. He can fill a stat sheet right away. And here's the best thing. He can get better. He'll gain more nuance and feel for the position. This kid only appeared in 29 college football games and attempted only 519 passes. For context, Baker Mayfield attempted 1,026 passes as a collegian. Hopefully the landing spot doesn't add any cold water and hopefully the kid stays healthy over time. One of those questions will be answered before we need to place our bets.
2 1 Haskins, Dwayne Ohio St. 6-3 3/8 231 9 5/8 It was a tough combine for Haskins, but if Tom Brady and Philip Rivers can play with dad bods, then so can big Dwayne. He's got the look of an NFL QB to me. He will need to work hard on his conditioning, but he's got natural size and strength like Charles Barkley or, for those who go way back, Kevin McReynolds. These are guys whose ability and strength was belied by their body type. I would avoid defining Haskins by things that happen without a helmet and pads on. He's a baller between the lines. He may be the ultimate example of the combine just not mattering. He makes plenty of NFL throws on film. In fact, on an NFL level, you could make a decent argument for Haskins over Kyler Murray, but as I'll say throughout my rookie rankings, these are fantasy rankings. Haskins will get as many fantasy points as his arm allows. His foot-points should be in the Brady/Rivers/Matt Ryan range. My guess is that Haskins is the next QB of the NY Giants. He's a Dave Gettleman kind of QB. That's just my gut feeling. The Giants would be my guess. Here's a question for you to ponder. Does being slow make you a bad athlete? Sometimes we assume that guys who lack speed and explosive traits are bad athletes. The thing is, if you are too stringent with this concept, you miss the Larry Birds and Magic Johnsons. In football you'd risk whiffing on Richard Sherman, Marcus Allen and maybe even Jerry Rice among many others. Sometimes an athlete might not be fast or super twitchy as scouts like to say, but don't forget to factor in everything, like how they play the game. Consider things like awareness, technique, presence, hand-eye-coordination, motor planning and toughness. These are hard things to ascertain in a track meet setting. Haskins is strong in these areas and it matters. He makes impressive throws consistently and can use creative arm angles to make plays when needed—the kind of thing a good athlete can do. I'm not talking Mahomes here, but there are some similarities in terms of creativity. Obviously Mahomes is a freaking artist out there. Haskins is a little more meat and potatoes. Some team can change their trajectory by taking this guy. Maybe that team is your fantasy team. Landing spot will obviously have a huge impact on early numbers and on if he even plays much in 2019.
3 2 Lock, Drew Missouri 6-3 6/8 228 9 Lock seems to be more of a volatile evaluation because Jay Cutler existed before he did. It's really quite remarkable. The disdain for Cutler seems to drip down onto this kid, who has no connection to Cutler, Jeff George or Kristin Cavallari. Seriously, there's a point here. Judge Lock on what he brings and nothing else. He's bigger and more mobile than Cutler. He has a different fantasy profile. We knew Lock's hands would be small going in and while this could pose a problem in heavy rain, we're not too concerned with it. Once again, these are fantasy rankings. We like the athleticism, arm strength and plus mobility. He'll be playing most of his career at over 230 pounds, so he's a lot to handle in the open field. There's a lot of debate about Lock's worthiness at the top of the draft. It's a fair debate, but don't get lost in the weeds for fantasy purposes. This guy has round one talent or very close to it. If he is going to get an opportunity, he has legit value in 2QB formats as a prospect. Landing spot is big to me, and one of the things I really want to see is a good coach or coaching staff/scheme. This is a player who will benefit greatly from some learning time. For those dismissing this player, remember that Alex Smith, Case Keenum, Joe Flacco, Mark Sanchez, Blake Bortles, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Tannehill all exist and have made plenty of starts and plenty of money in the NFL. This guy has superior talent compared to these types save for Flacco, who has a ring. My point? We tend to make perfection the enemy of good sometimes. Lock's not perfect, but he's a good prospect. He's got legit arm talent and most of the physical traits we look for in addition to a pro arm. He's a bit inconsistent from the neck up, sure, but he's had the time in the barrel that you look for. Lock made 50 college games. His completion percentage went up each season—peaking at 62.9 in 2018. There are a lot of twists and turns coming for this player. How good he will be is tough to predict, but I think it's probable that he will make plenty of starts and will return value for those who draft him in dynasty leagues. This assumes the NFL agrees and that he's off the board in the top 50 or so selections. I think he goes somewhere in round one—and then becomes a potential bargain in dynasty leagues. Lastly, if you are really into comps, consider Lock versus Mitchell Trubisky. Same basic flaws but Lock is bigger and faster and may have more arm talent. He won't get Matt Nagy as his coach, but you get the point.
4 2 Jones, Daniel Duke 6-5 1/8 221 9 6/8 I'm intrigued by Jones, who had a reasonably good showing at the combine. As I said going in, I'd like to see him add some good weight (think Tom Brady), but he has a lot going for him. He's long, mobile and throws a solid ball, though he does have a bit (nothing crazy bad here) of a long release. He's an advanced prospect who has logged enough college snaps to feel good about his experience level. My concern, if that's the right word, is the lack of "special" in his game. Maybe it's nitpicking but most quarterbacks have something to hang their hat on. Jones is mobile but he doesn't stand out compared to today's mobile passers. He has a good enough arm, but in a league with Patrick Mahomes, Matt Stafford and Carson Wentz, just to name a few, he's got a typical arm and perhaps a tad less. And while he's tall, he did get 12 passes batted down at the LOS in 2018, according to NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. So am I being fair? Should we care that he lacks the "special" stuff? Maybe not. Does this hurt Jared Goff, Matt Ryan or Kirk Cousins? Tom Brady is considered by many to be the GOAT. Brady lacks any physical trait that separates him from the average quarterback. He weighed 211 pounds when he left Michigan and added 14-20 pounds of good weight early in his career. You could say that Brady has a stronger arm than Jones, and you'd be right, but his Michigan film doesn't show a significantly stronger arm. Brady was always a winner, but we know about his body when he entered the league. The guy worked his tail off as a young pro and remade himself. Jones doesn't need as substantial a makeover as Brady did, but he can improve his hand by putting in that same kind of effort. What he does need is a good home, like the one Brady found. A good landing spot will definitely help me find the love for Jones in rookie drafts. He can play if he finds a good platform to work from. Think Goff. Jones can be the Jeff Fisher model and he could be the newer McVay version. Landing spot is key in terms of how much I will prioritize him. And, if Jones does everything right, could he get onto a "Brady track"? I don't see that. He's just not the natural thrower that Brady is. He's like a cross between Brady and Sean Mannion at times. He could become Brady light perhaps—and don't kid yourself, you can win a lot of NFL games if you are Brady light. Process isn't sexy or fun and this is a QB who will win largely on process—the ability to handle the offense and read the defense. So, again, for me, what I am looking for is a situation where Jones' skills really work. Landing spot will have a lot to do with whether I am chasing him in rookie drafts—specifically 2QB formats. It's a long shot that he really moves the needle for me in single QB formats.
5 3 Grier, Will West Virginia 6-2 4/8 217 9 3/8 Grier is a nice block of clay for developmental purposes and my only guy in tier three. I don't have a lot of company with that take, but I see things that need to be cleaned up. He's got a pro body, plenty of arm strength and he'll get drafted—maybe even on day two or even day one, but I see too many questionable throws and too much bad reaction to pressure. He has a tendency to believe in his own athleticism to a fault, which is worth noting in that he'll be relatively less athletic in the NFL. I also see inconsistent footwork that has to be cleaned up or he'll be too inconsistent at the next level. And I stress inconsistent versus bad, because at times he's using decent footwork, but he also drifts into Geno Smith/Brock Osweiler territory too often. Perhaps my perceptions will prove faulty, but assuming I'm seeing him clearly, the rest of his game—the positives, just aren't substantial enough for me to buy into him as an impending fantasy asset. If the Patriots actually pull the trigger as Brady's heir apparent, I'll revaluate and maybe there are a few other landing spot scenarios that would perk my ears up, but for now, I'm not targeting Grier in single quarterback formats. I just don't see the ceiling for fantasy that we look for. Full disclosure, there are a lot of very smart people who see this player in different terms than I do. I'm open-minded to being wrong. I bring up the Patriots because they'd be a good fit in terms of going to a good home and having at least a season to learn. If he went to the Chargers, Giants or Broncos, he'd have a chance to be groomed. Denver would actually be a good spot, because John Elway would fix this guy's feet in a matter of weeks. Elway's footwork is arguably the best of all time, and his strength is the polar opposite of Grier's weakness. This would assume that Grier's strength are enough to tempt him. Perhaps his experience with Paxton Lynch was enough to scare him off. That would be too bad, because Grier is a whole lot better than Lynch. He kept a high-powered offense on schedule for the most part and made plenty of good solid NFL throws. Granted, he worked from a clean pocket most of the time, but he worked it well.
6 4 Stick, Easton NDSU 6-1 2/8 224 9 2/8 Every now and then I like to remind you that these are fantasy rankings. In real NFL rankings, maybe Stick is too much of a long-shot. In fantasy terms, I like what I see and for what it's worth, I like the real NFL potential some as well. While he has a name better suited for baseball or hockey (I mean c'mon), this kid has some very valuable traits. He's got a low center of gravity while still weighing 224 pounds and while still running a 4.63 40. He also pinned the needle on his three cone and has a pro arm though not a big arm. There's a lot to work with here, and, if he hits, he'll have some fantasy appeal because he will add significant points with his feet. This ranking is not a prediction of NFL Draft capital but a reflection of what his fantasy value could be if he gets a shot. If the rumblings we hear are true, and Stick is not being taken seriously in NFL war rooms, he could really tumble in the post-draft update. I'm very interested to see where and if Stick gets taken.
7 4 Jackson, Tyree Buffalo 6-7 249 10 2/8 Once again, these are fantasy rankings…. Huge. Athletic. Monster arm strength. There's no doubt that this player has a big ceiling. As I said heading into the combine, Jackson leaves me wanting on a high percentage of his snaps, but he also makes plenty of manchild plays in the Josh Allen mold. The problem is that, by my eyes, he's farther off than Allen was. He has timing concerns and he does not process the field as well as Allen did at Wyoming. His 55.3 completion percentage last year was even lower than Allen's, who checked in at 56.3 in his final year. And, Buffalo has better receivers and threw more—giving Jackson more opportunity to find his rhythm, though that happened too infrequently. Still, he could be an interesting player in time and in the right situation. I like the idea of Buffalo drafting him and developing him as an Allen clone. He needs time without question. I think he needs more than a year in a reserve role which complicates things as far as how the NFL works. Playing one more year as a collegian may have been the best choice for him, but here we are. IF Jackson can develop, he has a big ceiling for fantasy. The round he gets taken in will be HUGE because it will tell us how committed his team is to developing him. This is a player, who, according to himself has never had a private quarterback tutor until this year. He's now working with Jordan Palmer, who worked with Allen last year. Legit professional coaching could help this young man a whole lot, so if a team used, say a 4th rounder on him, and we like the coaching staff he's going to, his value spikes. If he gets a generic landing spot as a UDFA, he's little more than a flier. Jackson is the classic example of a player who makes me wish that the NFL was more of a developmental league, because more guys like Jackson would get a chance. He's for sure a prospect 2QB leaguers need to know about. What he's worth in dynasty rookie drafts will get drilled down in a few days.
8 4 Thorson, Clayton Northwestern 6-4 222 9 6/8 Thorson has some of the "it" quality that we look for in a quarterback. He's tough and he's a leader who plays with plenty of heart. Ultimately, I see the same problems with Thorson as I saw with Blake Bortles and with Paxton Lynch. Too many area throws. Having said that, it's important to note that Thorson's issues are less extreme in my view. He has a better feel for the game than both of them. He has a chance to clean things up enough to play at the next level, and he won't cost his team a day one pick like Lynch and Bortles did. He's a project and will likely be priced like one. For fantasy footballers, Thorson has some appeal because of his athletic profile. He rushed for 27 touchdowns at Northwestern and he can be a QB who adds some foot-points if he ever earns a gig in the NFL.
9 4 Finley, Ryan N.C. State 6-4 213 9 4/8 As I said in my pre-combine rankings, I am a fan of Finley's because his offense always seems to be on schedule. He finds the right man with stunning consistency and that's a big time NFL trait we often don't talk much about. And, for a QB with below average arm strength, like Finley, it's a must-have skill. I could see Finley excelling in the right read-based system. He could be a steal if the Patriots got him in the later rounds. He can play right away if needed but he's the kind of kid who will use any extra time to his advantage. Finley eats up a playbook. It's obvious when you watch him play. He's rarely surprised and he handles pressure well. Which leads me to his age. Finley will turn 25 in December. This explains some of his poise and advanced skillset. His footwork is very good as well, and the extra time certainly helps in that area. Finley, ironically enough, left Boise State after the 2015 season (he was a redshirt freshman in 2013), and transferred to N.C. State. The quarterback who replaced him in Boise is our next guy up, and is in a virtual tie with Finley on my board. As for Finley, his landing spot will be huge and he could move up in our post-draft ranks.
10 4 Rypien, Brett Boise St. 6-1 5/8 210 9 I'm a big believer in Rypien as far as playing at the next level goes, but he'll be a product of his surroundings when it comes to fantasy value. He's a classic quarterback who will not add much with his feet. I like his footwork a lot. I like his moxie and the way he sees the field. He can make most of throws-certainly all the ones you need him to make. He's got a shot to start somewhere someday. Adding 5-10 pounds of good weight would help. His ranking here is lower than it would be if I was ranking purely for NFL purposes. He's better for real football than for fantasy in my view.
11 5 Stidham, Jarrett Auburn 6-2 3/8 218 9 1/8 I'm not his biggest fan, but the guy throws a solid ball for sure and has plenty of support from major guys in the industry. I'm open-minded on eating some crow here. A really good landing spot might make me rethink things.
12 5 Ta'amu, Jordan Mississippi 6-2 5/8 221 9 7/8 He's a good athlete with a live arm and I see an NFL future for him—probably as backup, but if he can continue to grow and synthesize all of his physical traits he has a chance to be a starter someday. He's needs to be more decisive with his reads so he can get the ball out more consistently, but he can make some serious throws and he's more than willing to take some hits to make plays. He'll be a foot-point guy if he gets the chance so he has some ceiling, but he's also a bit of a long shot.

Proposed Volcker rule rollback gets pushback from agency leadership
By Lori Tripoli2020-02-05T16:45:00+00:00
The Jan. 30 decision by five federal agencies to propose changes to the Volcker rule that would allow banks, in certain circumstances, to invest in or sponsor hedge funds or private equity funds prompted some immediate opposition, even from some in leadership positions at the agencies themselves.
"We continue the march toward effective repeal of the Volcker rule," maintained SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, voicing her opposition to the proposed changes. The revision "ignores … risk-reducing public policy" and "is driven by complaints from the very banks the rule is intended to make safer," asserted CFTC Commissioner Dan Berkovitz in a dissenting statement. House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) accused regulators of "working overtime to weaken a regulation" that will allow "banks to gamble with taxpayer money."
This latest initiative by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is not the first time the executive branch has revisited the Volcker rule. Last year, for example, the five agencies responsible for implementing the rule eased restrictions on proprietary trading by banks.
The current round of changes proposed Jan. 30 modify the ban preventing banks from investing in or sponsoring hedge funds or private equity funds, known in regulatory parlance as "covered funds." The proposed revisions "basically allow banking entities to invest in or sponsor types of funds which regulators believe do not present a substantially elevated risk of the sort the Volcker rule was designed to prevent," explained Charles Horn, a partner at Morgan Lewis.
This regulatory rollback was not a step taken lightly. "There was a fair amount of discussion at the time the Volcker rule was first adopted about whether or not it should extend to funds such as venture capital funds," Horn recalled. A 2011 Financial Stability Oversight Council study "suggested that the agencies responsible for administering the Volcker rule consider whether funds such as venture capital funds should be excluded" from the rule, Horn said. Although regulators "opted not to adopt that position" when they finalized the Volcker rule in 2013, they are "now considering a possible change of course with respect to investment funds such as venture capital companies and family wealth management companies," Horn explained.
Who wins?
The proposed changes could enhance capital formation, SEC Chair Jay Clayton said in a statement. Allowing banks "to extend financing to start-ups and small and medium-sized businesses through qualifying venture capital funds could benefit the broader financial system by improving the flow of financing to these businesses, while allowing banking entities to compete more effectively with non-bank sources of financing," he explained.
Flyover states may reap particular benefits. Banks in regions "where venture capital and other types of financing are less readily available—i.e., 'between the coasts'" will be able to provide financing to businesses in those areas, Clayton said.
Weakening vs. right-sizing
Although critics of the proposal generally express concern about increased risk, some see the proposed change as a tempered one. SEC Commissioners Elad Roisman and Hester Peirce described the action as "right-sizing" the regulation in a statement issued on the proposed changes. "Our preference in amending the Volcker rule might have been simply to lean on the 'DELETE key,'" they acknowledged. Instead, the revisions as proposed "tailor the aspects of the Volcker rule covered-fund regulations that have been most disruptive to legitimate and beneficial business activities by banks," Roisman and Peirce maintained. Those activities were "not even tenuously responsible for the financial crisis that led to the conception of this rule," they said.
"It seems the agencies have considered risk mitigation" even as they have expanded bank activities, observed Arthur Long, a partner at the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and co-chair of its Financial Institutions Practice Group. Under the proposal, the ability of banks to invest in covered funds is not unfettered. "Even where the proposal has expanded certain potential bank activities, such as for credit funds or venture capital funds, it includes such conditions as the prohibition on banking entity bailouts and no material conflicts of interest," Long explained.
Indeed, the proposed revisions might be seen as a viable response given the impact of the original rule in the first place. The proposed changes "take into account market realities and lessons learned over time to soften, at least somewhat, a harsher, knee-jerk reaction during the initial rulemaking process" circa 2013, observed Christopher Steelman, a partner at the law firm DLA Piper.
For compliance teams
Comments on the proposal are due April 1, 2020. If adopted as proposed, chief compliance officers "will need to tweak their systems to reflect the revised conditions," explained David Harris, a partner at the law firm Dechert. While a "wholesale reworking" of compliance procedures for covered funds is not likely to be necessary, "changes at the margins to accommodate the revisions" likely will be needed, Harris said.

Jun 11, 2017 | By:
John Ambulance here is shining light on fraudulent First Aid tickets issued in Dawson Creek. Branch Manager Angela Laczo said that she is aware of at least three fraudulent tickets, after employers have asked to see their credentials. "They've gone and taken a course in some cases through somebody in Dawson creek and received a First Aid Certificate that is distinctly trying to be made to look like it's been issued from a St. John Ambulance," she said. Dawson Creek does have institutes where one can receive First Aid credentials with certified instructors – however, it does not have a St. John Ambulance. So when the tickets popped up, they raised some questions. In one case, someone had a fake EMR certificate. Laczo says a proper EMR course takes two weeks, and costs $1,000. "In a case like that, they could go and apply for a medic position – if it's not checked out and the tickets are not valid, they're putting some serious risk into a job site or when they need to attend to an injured person," she added.

Tips for Hiring a Diverse Workforce by Diane Faulkner
Tips for Hiring a Diverse Workforce
Ethnically diverse teams are good for your company culture and can benefit your bottom line. Attracting and retaining a more diverse workforce starts with a thoughtful diversity, equity, and inclusion plan.
by Diane Faulkner
Diversity of thought adds value to the bottom line of any business, and today many companies are instituting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles to achieve that goal.
Benefits of a Diverse Workforce
Implementing diverse and inclusive practices into your business may sound like a big job, but the advantages outweigh the work.
"Ethnically diverse leadership teams are 36% more likely to be profitable than their peers," says Rosanna Duncan, chief diversity officer at Palladium, "and companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on their executive teams are 21% more likely to experience above-average profitability."
Companies like yours could reap these benefits.
How to Get Started With Diversity
How can companies get started on the DEI path?
Grant Weinberg, vice president of talent acquisition, HR operations and HR information systems for TriNet, offers the following tips to help you model the right behaviors for attracting and retaining a diverse workforce:
Communications. Remove gender bias from your internal and external communications.
Talent communities. Connect your Employee Resource Groups to your talent communities to create engagement and a better sense of belonging.
Talent channels. Focus on sources that engage, nurture, and develop diverse talent communities.
Blind résumés. Remove demographic data from résumés to ensure you hire the best candidate for the role.
Diverse interview panels. Ensure your diverse candidates feel represented by having an interview panel that represents a diverse population.
Accountability. Track and measure progress, then tweak where necessary.
To get employees involved in branding your company as the place to work, Vikram Tarugu, MD, CEO of Detox of South Florida, suggests utilizing testimonials.
"Testimonials allow your employees to talk about how your company values and lives diversity through its culture and actions," he says. "These personal statements can help various job seekers feel they are welcome and supported, and can be successful at work."
Terms to Avoid in Job Listings
Many companies are starting to include in their job listings "only" terms, such as "digital native only" (which implies age discrimination) or "strongly urged to apply" terms, such as "people of color strongly urged to apply" (which implies racial discrimination).
Aaron Tandy, attorney and head of the employment law section for Pathman Lewis LLC, reminds companies that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission "has indicated it's illegal to request or exclude somebody who is in a protected class. In general, it is inappropriate for an employer to state in a hiring advertisement a preference for a specific protected class unless there is a bona fide occupational qualification [BFOQ] to justify the preference."
Protected classes include age, race, color, creed, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
"In certain circumstances, based on state or federal programs or mandates, it may be appropriate to indicate a hiring preference for veterans or disabled people to qualify or comply with an affirmative obligation in a government contract to recruit such protected classes," Tandy says. "Similarly, it's possible for religious organizations to have a BFOQ advertised with regard to someone's religious practices to keep with the mission of that religious entity."
In any case, the preference must be clearly stated in the job posting as well as adding the phrase "equal opportunity employer" or "EOE."
In practice, should two veterans, for example, apply for an open position, a female could not be given preference over a male, or an African American could not be given preference over an Asian candidate. The veteran status is what is preferred over a nonveteran status, not one protected status over another.
"It is very rare to establish some sort of legitimate BFOQ on the basis of [a protected class]," Tandy says. "Anybody who's thinking about putting in a qualification should talk to their employment counsel to make sure there's a BFOQ and they can justify putting it in." Trying to correct an imbalance is not a sufficient reason to include such terms in a job listing.
In the end, "It's not your CEO. It's not your executive leadership team. And it's certainly not your recruitment team that is going to change to diversify your workforce," Weinberg says. "It's your whole workforce that is going to diversify the organization."

The Moross House
Christopher Moross originally built the building in 1843, which makes it the oldest residential brick building in Detroit and has been extended twice in its lifetime. Records show that the building was restored once in 1969. As of January 13th, 1972, the Moross House, also known as Jones House, has been registered with the National Register Of Historic Places.
The current owners purchased the neglected building and plan to turn it into an art gallery and studio for their own work as well as an event space. The garden is planned as an integral part of the program and will be redesigned. The owners plan to achieve economic viability for the restoration and maintenance by using the space for catering opportunities, weddings, cocktail parties, gallery vernissages, and company receptions.
The adaptive reuse of the building requires a small addition to the building for exhibition spaces and a roof terrace for garden parties and other events. A new additional stair provides garden access and a second mean of egress, required for the second floor. The addition to the building is envisioned to be in harmonious composition with the historic building in its size, proportion, and materiality, while expressing a contemporary character to distinguish itself from the historic building.
In addition to the renovation of the Moross House, a garage with studio is planned for the south side of the property. Since the owners will need extra spaces for producing and photographing their artwork, the garage and studio makes it possible to alter the historic Moross House with minimum invasiveness. The garage also functions as loading and staging area during events and for material necessary to produce the artwork. The studio above the garage is made of brick equal to the new addition and the historic structure and is meant to be integral to the overall composition of buildings in character, proportion and dimensional relationships.

Residents of the U.S. island territory "need supplies and resources just as badly as their fellow Americans in Texas and Florida," writes the 'Hamilton' creator, whose family was impacted by the devastating storm.
My cousin Daniela is studying to be a veterinarian. Her parents' home in the hills of Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, is like a tiny animal sanctuary — two goats, some cats, several bunnies and birds, nine dogs (!) and a couple of horses. Her older sister Camila has been studying for the MCAT exam — she wants to be a doctor. Across the street is my Aunt Yamilla's home, formerly the home of my grandparents, where my sister and I spent every summer as children. I remember when my grandfather Guisin was building it — at last, moving up to the peaceful hills after a life in town.
There's no shortage of stories about the devastation experienced in my beloved Puerto Rico in the past week. From the children still searching for signs of their parents, to the families who've lost everything but one another, to those displaced from the only homes they've ever known — Hurricane Maria's collision with Puerto Rico has been the most brutal in the island's modern history, leaving a destroyed power grid and unprecedented destruction in its wake.
As Maria roared toward the island, my family in Puerto Rico braced for impact. They knew Abuelo Guisin's wooden dream home — where I worked on new musicals during summer breaks from college — could not possibly withstand a major hurricane. For a time, my uncle's concrete home across the street became Noah's Ark, as my family sought refuge there, along with Daniela's animal menagerie. In addition to the animals, my family quickly gathered the things that can't be replaced: family photos and mementos colored with memories of generations of Mirandas. Needless to say, Camila's MCAT exam has been indefinitely postponed.
My late grandfather's dream home is in pieces — the roof and the porch, gone. Thankfully Noah's Ark across the road still stands. My family was very lucky. But they and their fellow American citizens on the island now face a host of mounting crises — a lack of running water, a shattered power grid, days without electricity and telephone service and access to the wider world.
Puerto Ricans need supplies and resources just as badly as their fellow Americans in Texas and Florida, and this need is magnified by their geographic isolation from the mainland.
The Hispanic Federation (hispanicfederation.org) is designating 100 percent of its Hurricane Relief Fund to recovery efforts in Puerto Rico. To donate via text, compose a new text message for number 41444. Type UNIDOS (space) YOUR AMOUNT (space) and YOUR NAME. (For example: Unidos 100 John Doe) Then press "send" and click on the link to complete your donation. To donate in person, visit any Popular Community Bank branch (account name: Hurricane Relief Effort; checking account number: 6810893500).
This relief fund is already in action. Right now, it is facilitating the deployment of fully trained and certified first responders, including paying for the flight to Puerto Rico and the accompanying arrangements. These first responders — comprised of NYPD and FDNY members and others — will join relief efforts on the island and provide the technical support and expertise so badly needed. Relief efforts include everything from examining the structural integrity of buildings so individuals can safely return to their homes to providing basic supplies like food and clean water.
With so much to be done and such great urgency before us, let's use our own winds of change to help Puerto Rico dig out and rise up. Do it for Daniela and Camila and their dreams. Do it for your fellow citizens. Thank you.

The new framework makes the most of the public sector's buying power and will deliver savings of up to £1 million a year for the taxpayer, whilst maximising the quality of innovative work offered by agencies. With 60% of suppliers on the framework being small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the new framework gives SMEs real opportunities to secure government contracts.
It is interesting to stress that the conclusion of this framework agreement could have been fatally flawed due to a significant oversight in the tender documentation--which originally failed to meet the fundamental requirement that 'multiparty' framework agreements must expressly indicate the contracting authorities that call-off work under the agreement.
Contracts based on a framework agreement [...] may be applied only between the contracting authorities and the economic operators originally party to the framework agreement.
in the case of a framework agreement concluded by a central purchasing body acting as an intermediary [...] it would not therefore be sufficient to indicate that the agreement can be used by "contracting authorities" established in the Member State in question. In fact, such an indication might not render it possible to identify the entities that are parties to the agreement due to the difficulties that may arise in determining whether an entity does or does not meet the definition of a body governed by public law. On the other hand, a description permitting immediate identification of the contracting authorities concerned — for example "the municipalities of x province or of y region" – renders it possible to verify that the provision of Article 32(2), second indent has been observed.
When class descriptions do not allow 'immediate identification of the contracting authorities concerned", a reference to where details of the authorities covered can be obtained should be included in the notice. For example, if there is an accessible list of contracting authorities in a relevant "class", or an organisation with responsibility for maintaining details of the members of a "class", that list or organisation should be quoted in the Contract Notice and, where possible, a link to this information included.
Full details of the Contracting Bodies eligible to access the Strategy and Planning Framework Agreement, can be found in the OJEU Contract Notice. Only those listed (including the organisations described on the appropriate webpage links) will be able to access the Framework Agreement.
Government Procurement Service as the Contracting Authority is putting in place a Pan Government Collaborative Framework Public Sector bodies have a need for a range of strategy & planning services within the communications / marketing sector. This requirement is not seeking market research, creative or mediabuying services. Agreement for use by the UK public sector bodies identified at VI.3 (and any future successors to these organisations), which include Central Government Departments and their Arm's Length Bodies and Agencies, Non Departmental Public Bodies, NHS bodies and Local Authorities.
Government Procurement Service wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for use by the following UK public sector bodies (and any future successors to these organisations): "Copy the latest version of the Customer List here" (emphasis added).
Now, this may just seem too embarrassing to be true (where are the proof-readers?), but such a failure to include the list of contracting authorities that can resort to the framework agreement to call-off contracts for strategy & planning services would have rendered the whole framework agreement ineffective under EU public procurement rules.
Luckily, someone eventually spotted the mistake and GPS published an addition to the original OJEU notice, where a full list of 'classes' of contracting entities and public bodies (with weblinks to further developed lists) was included. GPS has not kept this additional publication in its publicly available file, so it took some digging to find it out. However, it is clear to me that the initial omission has been effectively corrected.
Contracts based on a framework agreement [...] may be applied only between those contracting authorities clearly identified for this purpose in the call for competition or the invitation to confirm interest and those economic operators party to the framework agreement as concluded.
However, I would submit that the 'clearly identified' prong of the test still would need to follow the guidance provided by the European Commission and OGC (discussed above), so that at least a reference to where details of the authorities covered can be obtained should be included in the notice.


O'Sullivan Architects has been a fixture in downtown Reading for almost a decade. Our office is located within the historic M.F. Charles building and just a stone's throw away from the town's former post office. Over a year ago, the post office relocated to a smaller space, thereby leaving the existing historical building vacant. It was a great opportunity to work on another historic building in town.
During the 2016 sale of the former Reading Post Office, the closed building was deemed eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In doing so a "protective covenant" was placed on the historic building,aimed to preserve the key components of the building, including the entire 1917 original building. The covenant was very vague and left much open to interpretation, creating a difficult task for the design team. Though there are Federal Design Guidelines that exist to help one work with nationally registered buildings, Congress has admitted the regulations are difficult to apply to post office buildings. With little precedent at the national level, the project team took a collaborative approach for the design solution.
Working with our client and both the Massachusetts Historical Commission and Reading Historical Commission, our proposed new addition and adaptive, reuse renovation design not only preserves the original 1917 building's beautiful façade. The project includes 50 residential units in a new, contemporary-style, rear addition designed to complement the original structure. As reported over 100 years ago in the local newspaper (Daily Times Chronicle) on March 2, 1917, the Post Office was to be "a valuable addition to the public buildings in town", with "impressive design and ornamental enhancements like Corinthian columns and a water fountain in front of the building. Our design includes restoration of these enhancements".
The design incorporates several elements to preserve the original building. The first of which is that the addition is fully behind the original historically significant structure. The original façade will remain quite prominent with a seamless transition to the new rear addition. Another element allows the existing building to take advantage of its unique location in Reading's downtown area. Situated on a corner lot, the former Post Office space will be reused to provide three new commercial tenants that readily draws passerby in with its classic architecture. As an historic building, the original façade will remain preserved in perpetuity.
A third goal was driven by the Chapter 40R Smart Growth zoning of the site which provides housing within the mostly commercial downtown. This zoning classification gives residents the feel of city-living with business and the commuter rail in easy walking distance while in a suburban town. We also created a dedicated courtyard space for residents providing the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in a semi-private atmosphere.
As the courtyard is located on a side street and will serve as the main entrance to the residential units, further delineating the separation of the new and existing; as well as providing separate, but distinct entries for the commercial and residential uses.
The process from concept through full approval took approximately 10 months. We worked collaboratively and closely with the town of Reading and the state of Massachusetts' Historical Commissions to ensure we not only adhered to federal guidelines, but that we addressed any concerns these Commissions may have had. The overall footprint of our addition is further set back from the original building and the top floor is set back so that it is not visible from passerby and does not create an overbearing impact on the historical building or the surrounding areas.
We also worked with Reading's Community Planning and Development Commission to comply with Massachusetts Chapter 40R program. This program allowed us to create a dense, mixed-use project within the Smart Growth Zoning Overlay District. Chapter 40R increases the supply of housing in downtown areas and targets the shortfall of low and moderate-income households by including a caveat for affordable housing units.
This project is historically significant not only in its status on the national registry, but also as the first of its kind under federal guidelines. And, we are happy to note, has received approval from both the Town and State. O'Sullivan Architects along with our client and full project team look forward to the ground breaking and ultimately the final product.
Please enjoy the video (below) to view our adaptive reuse design of an old town staple – transforming a closed post office into 50 residential condominium units, three commercial tenant units, and onsite underground parking.


Similar to my protagonist, Ted Callan, Tilda doesn't appear in the myths, not specifically, anyway. The fortune telling and fate spinning Norns, however, certainly do.
My fascination with fortune telling and precognition was always tempered by potential downsides, a feeling that probably came out of the various comics I read and RPGs I played. The X-Men definitely took a turn for the more fatalistic after "Days of Future Past" knowing what was in store for them (in at least one of their futures, I've read X-men for thirty years and even I can't keep it all straight anymore). I also had a sadistic gamemaster who'd punish you for using those very helpful powers and spells because they required more planning on his part. You know who you are.
Tilda showed up out of the blue in Ted Callan's life and world. She popped up just as suddenly in my writing, there was no short story antecedent. One moment there was a dark highway, and then there was Tilda. She didn't live in Gimli until that popped out of her mouth. I sort of knew I wanted a fortune teller of some kind to be a part of the book eventually, but just as the dwarves weren't dvergar yet, that seer wasn't necessarily going to be one of the "capital-N" Norns either.
I had a friend who used to hitchhike all over the place. She scared the bejesus out of me at times, but she was fun, and she had some great stories. She had seen some amazing things in her travels, and while Tilda is not her, there is definitely something of that friend in the young Norn's literary DNA. I wanted Tilda to have a wealth of stories in her past, and to be more knowledgeable about not only the magical world, but the real world than Ted. Her broader life experience also helped close the age gap between them.
Tilda gets all of the powers of the Norns, visions of not just the future, but the past and the present as well. I did this because Ted gets a lot of power in Thunder Road, and I wanted Tilda to be Ted's match both physically and magically. Even though the book is about Ted, Tilda needed to undergo a journey of her own. And just as I wanted to write a post-Ragnarök story, I liked the idea of playing with the maiden-mother-crone concept. Mixing the magical and the mundane is one of things I love most about writing Urban Fantasy. Ted and Tilda fell together very quickly, fueled in part by the Norn's belief that they are fated to be a couple, so in Tombstone Blues I wanted to examine how much "destined for one another" means when you move in together for the first time.

King Arthur Flour Sold at Aldi, Target, and Walmart Recalled Due to Potential E. Coli Contamination
Ryan O'Bryan Published: June 14, 2019
Contributing Authors: Q Crew Morning Show
(Ryan O'Bryan / Townsquare Media)
The makers of King Arthur Flour products have issued a recall of over 14,000 cases of their 5 pound bags of Unbleached All-Purpose Flour after being notified the wheat used to make it could be contaminated with the E. coli bacteria.
According to the recall notice on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website, King Arthur had "been informed by ADM Milling Co. that certain wheat used to make these lots of King Arthur flour has been linked to an ongoing outbreak of E. coli infections."
The products under the recall were distributed to stores nationwide including Aldi, Target, and Walmart, and feature the following Best By Dates and Lot Numbers:
BEST USED BY 12/07/19 LOT: L18A07C
BEST USED BY 12/08/19 LOTS: L18A08A, L18A08B
BEST USED BY 12/14/19 LOTS: L18A14A, L18A14B, L18A14C
This information can be found under the nutritional facts on the packaging. Pictures of the packaging can also be found through the FDA website.
Obviously, if you have this brand of flour in your pantry, do not eat it. The FDA recommends throwing it away or taking it back to where you purchased it for a refund.

League One and Two news and rumours: Liverpool and Everton join race for Coventry starlet | Stoke identify Barnsley keeper as Jack Butland replacement | Update on future of Sunderland defender
Barnsley keeper Adam Davies
Matt Scrafton
Here's the latest news and rumours from League One and League Two on Wednesday, May 8, 2019.
Strausborg want to keep Sunderland defender Lamine Kone - however will return to Wearside as the French club can't afford his wages.
L'Equipe recently broke the news of Kone's imminent return to the Stadium of Light, though no details were reported.
That has prompted Sportmania into providing an update, believing it is the player's wages which has forced Strausborg to let Kone go.
Sunderland owner Stewart Donald told RR last month: "I think he'll find another club, I'd be amazed if you see Lamine back here in a Sunderland shirt."
Stoke City are close to making a move for Barnsley goalkeeper Adam Davies, according to StokeOnTrentLive.
The report understands that the Potters are eyeing him as a long-term replacement for Jack Butland, who has been linked with a move back to the Premier League.
Davies, a Wales international, is on course to leave Oakwell this summer as he still yet to agree a new contract, which expires in June.
It is believed Wolverhampton Wanderers have also shown interest alongside Birmingham City, Hull City Bristol City and Brentford.
Luton Town are preparing a swoop for Coventry City defender Jordan Willis, as per HITC Sport.
Newly-appointed boss Graeme Jones wants to act fast in the transfer market ahead of the club's Championship campaign and has identified Willis as a prime target.
A number of clubs such as Hull, Derby and Portsmouth are keen on the 24-year-old, but the Hatters are believed to be leading the chase for his signature.
Willis is out of contract this summer with boss Mark Robins thought to be eyeing Burton Albion's Kyle McFadzean as his replacement.
'The stats are starting to become pretty damning': Matt Scrafton's verdict on Blackpool's defeat at Lincoln and what it means for Simon Grayson's future
In other Coventry potential outgoings, Liverpool and Everton have reportedly joined the race for Tom Bayliss.
Speculation over the weekend linked Bayliss with the likes of Newcastle, Brighton, Leeds and Middlesbrough.
However, TEAMTalk believes Bayliss is wanted on Merseyside and has a £3million release clause in his contract.
The 20-year-old - who put pen to paper on a new long-term contract last September - has scored three goals and contributed three assists this season.
Peterborough United have made five players available for transfer - including regular goalkeeper Aaron Chapman - while Ryan Tafazolli is one of four to be released.
Callum Cooke, Mark O'Hara, Isaac Buckley-Ricketts and Matt Stevens have also been transfer-listed.
As well as centre-back Tafazolli, Lewis Freestone, Morgan Penfold and Darren Lyon have been let go by the club.
You can read the full story via the Peterborough Telegraph HERE.
Bradford City have announced a mass clear-out - with 11 players set to leave the club this summer.
Ben Wilson, Cameron Hawkes, Callum Gunnar and Tom Clare have also been released, with Paudie O'Connor, Jack Payne, Jacob Butterfield, George Miller, Lewis O'Brien and David Ball returning to their parent clubs.
Shay McCartan and Jordan Gibson return to Valley Parade following loan spells at Lincoln City and Stevenage, respectively.
Meanwhile, Danny Devine, Luca Colville and Jermane Anderson have been offered new deals, while Tyrell Robinson remains suspended while legal proceedings continue following his arrest last year.
In League Two, Northampton Town have confirmed Stockport County striker Matt Wartburton as their first summer signing.
Warburton was the Hatters' top scorer as they won the National League North title this term, netting 27 times in all competitions.
He was named Stockport's player of the season and has been attracting interest from a number of EFL club but it is the Cobblers who have won the race for his signature.
Warburton had been part-time with Stockport, juggling his football career with his day job of being a PE teacher at Ashton-on-Mersey School in Sale, Greater Manchester.
Oldham Athletic caretaker manager Pete Wild has left the club due to 'personal reasons', just a few months after stepping in for Paul Scholes.
Wild stepped him for his second temporary spell of the season when the former Manchester United star left Boundary Park after 31 days.
Owner Abdullah Lemsagm said: "Pete worked extremely hard for this club of which I am grateful for, but came to me today saying he wants to spend some time away from football.
"He's a great guy, I'm sad to see him go and would've liked him to stay with the club but I respect his decision and wish him well for the future."
