In the past, when many physical phenomena were not well understood or when histories were not recorded, myths often arose to provide etiologies. Thus, an etiological myth, or origin myth, is a myth that has arisen, been told over time or written to explain the origins of various social or natural phenomena. For example, Virgil's Aenead is a national myth written to explain and glorify the origins of the Roman Empire. In theology, many religions have creation myths explaining the origins of the world or its relationship to believers.

There is no substitute for completely knowing your value proposition and what it is you really sell. This sales training course will show you that having an understanding is crucial to effortlessly closing virtually any sale. When you are clear on what you sell, communicating this to your qualified prospect is simple and getting them to understand your value and how this will support them is simple.
Closing a sale is not just about getting a yes from your customer or prospect. Once you have got agreement from your customer in principal, it is crucial that you move the sale towards confirming it in writing. It takes experience, but once you have a verbal expression of interest, you should move resolutely toward a verbal commitment and finally get them to commit to a written agreement. This will allow you to finally complete the sales cycle.
People have an inherent propensity to procrastinate, when it comes to finalising a sale, but as you know that your value proposition is in the best interests of your prospect and will benefit them, it is in their best interests that you close the deal as soon as possible. As you believe completely in the value you bring, it is in the prospects best interest that you create a sense of urgency and get their commitment. This may mean that you may need to make a few final concessions, to close the deal.
Throughout the relationship building and negotiating process and beyond, it is wise to always add as much value to your prospects and clients as possible. This can be in the form of a press release about one of your products, a story about your business, results from new tests, which have been conducted or even a new testimonial from an existing customer. All these assist the prospect to make up their mind and will support you when you begin to close the sale.
Before you can even consider closing any deal, you must ensure that a modality of fair exchange exists between both parties. Unless there is a win win situation for both parties, the sales relationship will be unsustainable.
"The deal is actually closed before the deal happens. Courting and building mutually beneficial relationships over time,with your prospects and customers is the only sure-fire way of succeeding and closing a deal. This process is seldom instant, it may take years to build the relationship with the right prospects, before you can close the deal..
Be the best listener you can be.
The more attentive you are and the more you hear the other guy's pain, the better equipped you are to figure out ways you can you solve their challenges? Try to discover any benefits, which will result in a pleasurable experience and try to add this to thee equation. When you focus on pleasure and benefits, the rest is easy..


Swedish Meatballs: Mouthwatering, homemade, Swedish meatballs smothered in a decadent sauce; these beat IKEA every time!
Oh my goodness you guys, I hate to admit this, but the first time I had Swedish meatballs I was an adult. This was not something I grew up eating, and not something I had even heard of before I became an IKEA addict. And now I love them. I knew I needed a recipe for them on my site. And so I went in search.
I tried several. I tried just making the gravy and using frozen meatballs. I tried all beef meatballs. I tried it all. And this is my favorite version. It is adapted from a recipe I found on AllRecipes.com and tweaked to my preference. And I am happy to say the whole family enjoys this recipe. It is also a super easy to adapt recipe.
The creamy gravy is delicious and simple to make, and the meatballs could stand alone because they have great flavor. In fact, if I am making a big pot of my homemade spaghetti sauce, I often make a batch of these meatballs to go with it, without the gravy.
Skip the sour cream: I make it both ways. Sometimes if I want to cut calories, or just don't have sour cream I leave it out. But I find I like the slightly creamier and tiny bit of tanginess the sour cream adds, so I usually leave it. But feel free to omit.
Add fresh mushrooms. Not classic for Swedish meatballs, but for some reason this gravy always makes me want to have mushrooms. So sometimes I sauté a few mushrooms with butter and toss them in at the end with the meatballs. YUM!
Add garlic, or omit the garlic. I LOVE garlic and want it with everything, so sometimes I can't help myself and add it to the meatball mixture. But if you don't love garlic, feel free to omit all the garlic seasonings.
Plain bread crumbs. The meatballs call for seasoned bread crumbs. I personally love the extra seasoning because I think it adds flavor, and means the meatballs can also be eaten on their own. (Side note: make the meatballs ahead and freeze them for a really quick dinner on busy nights). But you can use plain bread crumbs if you want less salt.
Use white pepper. Traditional Swedish meatballs use white pepper. I just never seem to be able to find where I put mine, so black pepper it is.
Use veal as well. A lot of times meatball mixtures include beef, pork, and veal. I find veal challenging to find where I live, so I omit it, but you could create your meatballs with veal as well mixed in.
What do you eat with Swedish meatballs?
Traditionally you eat a lingonberry sauce or jam. But I can never find it, so I usually just serve it with cranberry sauce. Or skip that part.
I love eating Swedish meatballs over egg noodles. However, traditionally they are eaten with boiled potatoes. You could go with mashed potatoes as well. I like my meatballs saucy, and that means plenty of gravy for mashed potatoes. Yum!
Swedish Meatballs: Mouthwatering, homemade, meatballs smothered in a decadent sauce; these beat IKEA every time!
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add onions and salt into butter, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions become translucent, 5-6 minutes.
Once onions are translucent, move them into a large bowl.
To same bowl, add milk, eggs, seasoned bread crumbs, black pepper, nutmeg, onion powder and allspice to the breadcrumb mixture; stir to combine.
Once combined, add in beef and pork, and stir to combine it all. Do not over mix or your meatballs will get tough.
Make said meatballs by rolling 2 Tbs of the meat mixture into a ball using cold, wet hands, or by using a cookie scoop or melon baller.
Place meatballs on a lined baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray and bake in the preheated oven about 20 minutes, until browned and internal temp is 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Meanwhile, while meatballs cook, start making the gravy by melting 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into butter and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully so you don't burn it. Then slowly whisk beef broth into butter mixture.
Increase heat to medium-high, and whisk cream (or milk) into mixture . Bring the whole thing to a simmer, and stir in the garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce.
Simmer until slightly thickened, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream (optional).
Transfer meatballs to the gravy and return to heat, and cook at medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes.
Serve over egg noodles or potatoes and garnish with a little fresh parsley.
The recipe for gravy says 4 tablespoons butter, but in the directions it says to use 2 tablespoons. What do you do with the other 2?
Oh man! This is absolutely DELICIOUS!! Thank you so much for sharing Rachael!


If constructing a protest movement is hard, deconstructing it may be even tougher.
The last week in Pakistan has been brimming with uncertainty. Here is my reading of it (up till Thursday evening as I submit this): while there was no military coup, there has been a soft coup against democracy.
Punjab's turf wars hurt Pakistan — again. Punjabi politicians may feel better about their claims for Lahore but Pakistan undoubtedly feels worse. Sharif is much weaker and, therefore, less powerful when it comes to calling the shots on sticky issues, particularly foreign affairs and militancy. Imran and his PTI are the favourite pawn now, even though they may be well intentioned. The PTI is stronger only because it can now be used as a counter-weight to established political parties. The PML-N is much weaker, so is democracy. The military is stronger. And while two political parties survived, Pakistan's polity for the most part suffered.
Let's try and deconstruct the events though.
Two demagogues wanted the prime minister's resignation.
Dr Qadri's immediate grievances were real. The Model Town, Lahore, tragedy resulted in unfortunate deaths of his workers. The PML-N might have been surprised by how events in Model Town have shaped and controlled its fate. The centralised model of governance in vogue in Punjab, with its efficacy being debatable, is one reason that the CM came in the line of fire for the Model Town tragedy. If he survives this, he needs to think about rearranging his house.
Imran Khan could not muster the numbers he promised. But since he had staked so much on this march, he put on a brave face and lugged along to Islamabad. He needs to look back and analyse why he lacked the numbers — it was a failure at an organisational, strategic and leadership level, albeit not a fatal one.
The media, much like the country, partly favoured and partly mocked him. In line with one of the prevalent unfortunate trends in Pakistan, electronic media anchors shrugged off dispassionate analysis and took sides.
By the second day, he was written off even by many of his supporters. That, for me, was the classic Imran moment — odds against him, his ambition against the world. But as much as he loves cricket analogies, politics is longer than a test series and more complex than a World Cup campaign.
While I had argued earlier in the same space that these 'revolutions' would not be successful, a strategic use of a crowd of 5,000 people along with senior politicians in an ever-nervous capital is no joke. That reality dawned slowly on Khan who earlier bet on a million people showing up.
Once he saw the relatively thin turnout, he had to do two things: keep up the pressure, somehow, and survive in the national imagination. Both had to be done in stages. First came, by now usual, the bad cricket analogies and the terrible speeches. He really needs a speechwriter. An organised party should be able to find one. If he thinks he does not need one, he needs to surround himself with people smarter than him. Neither should be too hard.
Then he thought for 12 hours and came the call that confounded many: civil disobedience.
Regardless of the possible arguments for such a move, it was clear that he had not thought things through since he then had to add a seven-day ultimatum — subsequently revising it to two — to the prime minister. If you were Khan's adversary, you had good reason to smirk at that point. But maybe the federal government was too busy smirking and not attentive enough to the need to be seen to be doing more.
The government's laziness in negotiating a solution was beginning to make him look stronger than he was. More importantly, the rumour mill was spinning and the government was looking weaker. While Zardari and the PPP-ANP coalition had made some extremely smart and strategic choices to ensure continued democratic rule, the PML-N needed to be more assertive with its responses and statements.
It appears that time away from Pakistan taught Nawaz Sharif the virtues of waiting things out. While it was clearly wise and admirable to restrain the police from breaking up the crowd, he could have done more (and earlier) kill the impression that the government was confused.
The haunting pictures of the Model Town tragedy almost lulled the government to inaction.
Imran had to up the ante constantly and as his subsequent actions made clear, he was willing to be disingenuous. He needed to be seen to be challenging an, according to him, oppressive order so he dubbed it civil disobedience. But his real push was to aggravate the situation. He shamelessly claimed to be non-violent while all the time threatening violence — making a mockery of the philosophy of non-violence.
The entrance to the Red Zone was arguably a huge mistake on Imran's part. It forced him to push hard for a result, and hence look desperate. Then came the notices from the apex court, which deftly handled the situation. But the embarrassment piled up for Khan. Not enough was happening. Invading the PM House was no longer an option: hence the negotiations and backtracking. Strategy was missing on both sides while Pakistan searched for answers.
The military establishment was benefiting from the rumour mill. Adding insult to injury were the so-called 'experts' on TV. It was astounding to see how so many of them kept referring to a military coup or the military leadership's preferences.
Maybe it is a side-effect of living in a country that has seen so many military coups that even public intellectuals court the possibility instead of embarrassing those who voice such possibilities. Why can't anyone suggest that no general should dare to even dream of overthrowing a constitutional order? Will such an approach prevent coups? There is no guarantee. But it will at least, at the very least, add to the public discourse, which results in deterrence to unconstitutional adventures. Supreme Court and High Court judgments leading up to and during the marches achieved precisely such deterrence.
One way of looking at all this is that we avoided a coup. A more realistic appraisal is that the civil-military imbalance became much worse. Lack of management skills precipitated a crisis that should not have been a crisis in the first place. The democrats in Pakistan have good reason to be depressed. Those who don't care about the system and want to be in power or influence those in power — regardless of the cost — have reason to celebrate.
Good read. Been reading your pieces. You need to write for a paper that gets more online exposure.


Carlos Sainz has signed a multi-year deal to replace Fernando Alonso at McLaren from the 2019 season, the team have confirmed.
Fellow Spaniard Sainz, 23, is currently on loan at Renault from Red Bull and said it was a "childhood dream" to join McLaren.
"I've been a McLaren fan for as long as I can remember," he added.
"It's a great name in the sport with an incredible heritage, and the list of drivers that have raced for McLaren over the years are among the heroes of Formula 1.
McLaren Racing chief executive Zak Brown said Sainz, who began his F1 career with Toro Rosso, provided "the perfect blend of youth and experience".
"We're incredibly excited to have Carlos join us as a McLaren driver," added Brown.
"We've been assessing him for some time now and rate him very highly among the next generation of young talent emerging through the ranks in Formula 1."
After the Hungarian Grand Prix, Sainz sits 11th in the drivers' championship standings with 30 points, with his best race finish fourth in Singapore while racing for Toro Rosso in 2017.
McLaren's other driver is currently Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne.
Who do you want as the next Red Bull driver?

That headline is too flip, but it's late. I saw this movie tonight, and I'm still digesting it, but I can say this: if culture is your religion, there is a new holy book, and it is There Will Be Blood. Seldom do movies live up to this kind of hype. The reviews have been over the top, and it's on most top 10 lists for '07.
I don't gush. Well sometimes I do, but I never use words like "masterful." But that's what I kept thinking as every shot unfolded, every scene added layer after layer of complexity and interest. Walking out of this film, people were buzzing, trying to figure out subtle plot points and the characters' deeper motivations. I saw it with Mike, and I'm sure we could have talked about it all night.
Daniel Day Lewis is 100% committed to the character Daniel Plainview. It's a physical, visceral performance; comparisons to Citizen Kane abound, but for me it evoked the best of Coppola--The Godfather or Apocalypse Now, and the best classic westerns, the way the meaning and themes hinge on the moral and spiritual ambiguity of the main character. These characters are diabolical, but acting out some ancient (unknowable) wound, and not without a certain amount of grace and affection, however despicable their actions. You will hate Plainview at times, but I guarantee his conniving ways will beguile you, and his relationship to his son will move you. It will be forever hard to imagine him as a fictional character.
Over the years I have admired Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love), but often found him slightly self-indulgent. Usually his movies are just a bit too long and could use a disciplined cut here and there, but this one is different. He earns every minute, and his occasional indulgences (the ministers' histrionics, the derrick fire--an apocalyptic vision of hell) work well.
If I were nitpicking, I might single out the soundtrack. Sometimes minimalist in a Philip Glass way, and sometimes symphonic, but often intrusive, it was composed by Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead, so it's getting a lot of attention. That factoid is just cocktail party chatter. Judge it on its own merits. I guarantee you'll notice it, and I'm not sure that's a good thing.
What a great year it was for movies: Juno, There Will Be Blood, Michael Clayton, The Bourne Ultimatum, Superbad, Lars and the Single Girl, Across the Universe, Into the Wild, Zodiac, and No Country For Old Men. Those are my top 10 in no particular order. Thanks to my loyal blog readers!
I love that milkshake line. I agree with your comments about the music. It reminded me of Ry Cooder's score for "Paris Texas;" dissonant and lonely.
I've read reviews that talk about Plainview hating all men, including himself, and using his son as a "sweet face" and a pawn, discarding him when he was no longer useful. But I think he did love his son, a lot. Did I miss something?
It was gorgeously shot, and DDL was amazing. His best work ever I think.
One of my friends loathed this movie because of the soundtrack. He said the music jarred him throughout and it sapped his entire enjoyment of the film. He was kind of angry when he left the theater.
I thought the music was exciting and interesting. I'd actually like to own the soundtrack.

Hitchcock High School
What starts here can change the world
Hitchcock ISD new CTE program building future educators
Hitchcock ISD Communications
Nov 1 2022 12:00 PM
Hitchcock ISD's Career and Technical Education (CTE) program introduced a new class, Principles of Education, for the 2022-23 school year focused on building future educators.
Housed at Hitchcock High School (HHS), the Principles of Education class was granted to the district as part of the Texas Education Agency's Texas COVID Learning Acceleration Supports (TCLAS) "Grow Your Own" program.
With this being the first year of the class' existence, more than 40 students have joined. Split between two classes of approximately 20 students each, the first group of students had the opportunity last week to travel to Hitchcock Primary School (HPS), where they observed current Hitchcock ISD teachers and paraprofessionals in their element.
"Our students were very excited and had so much fun they wanted to stay the whole day," said Rachel Sanchez, instructor of Principles of Education. "I could see how excited the HPS students were as well and how much they looked up to the older students. All around, it was an extremely gratifying experience and I even had a student tell me when we got back to the high school that this experience made her know for sure she wants to be a teacher."
Each class will have the opportunity to observe Hitchcock ISD teachers throughout the year on a rotational basis. The second class will attend observations at HPS on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022.
"The purpose of this class is to introduce students to the teaching profession in hopes of students to make a career of education," said Patrick Faour, coordinator of Assessment and Accountability at Hitchcock ISD. "Whether they choose the education field or not in the future they will be learning skills to help them be successful in any profession."
The Principles of Education class will be followed by Human Growth and Development, Instructional Practices and Practicum in Education and Training. Students will leave the program having built a foundation of future teachers and a certification.
The new CTE program is open to all HHS students.
For more information about the program, contact Patrick Faour at pfaour@hitchcockisd.org.

No matter how you look at it, there are so many tech conventions out there that you can easily get lost in. It can be extremely difficult to figure out which conventions would be beneficial to attend. It's always fun checking out what some of the big time tech companies are creating and showcasing at their events. That being said, you may want to figure out the best way to operate something the new devices coming out. Maybe you're into programming. Maybe you want to know enough about coding to fix your own troubleshooting problems and NOT call tech support. Well lucky for you, there are tech conventions out there that actually cater to that specific aspect of technology. One such convention, DEF CON, is coming up in August and looks to be pretty amazing.
Technically DEF CON is a hacking convention, but you can't hack unless you can actually program code. The best part about this convention is that it isn't specifically linear. What I mean by that is, you aren't really expected to do, well… anything. You can attend the speeches. You can play capture the flag with tech gamers. You can even attend the movie marathons, take on scavenger hunt events, and even attend the live music that will be at this event. That being said, this event is not just a "random do anything you want" type of conference. It is still very driven by technology.
The convention itself is still about hacking, and they make sure to let you know that. They also allow for vendors to attend and set up booths on the floor to sell their merchandise. Since this is a tech event that directly involves programming and code, it might be the perfect for tech vendors to set up shop and make a profit. After all, coding, hacking, and programing require powerful computers and components that can take on all of that work. Why spend more money on resources you don't need? Are you looking to sell off some programs or SDKs to some of the attendees? You're going to need a platform to show it off. Why not rent your tech for this event.
Any type of program or coding is going to need a powerful CPU to show of the extent of it's capabilities. Do you need a new laptop? Maybe you're the vendor trying to sell of programs, but those programs need a powerful computer. Since you're the vendor, you need to makes sure that there are enough devices to go around to attract attendees and make potential sales. Renting all of your iPads, Laptops, and Computers is going to make a world of difference when you're out on the floor looking at other vendors products and wanting to buy something.
All rentals aside, if you're in the market of learning more about the DEF CON conference, why not check out the many torrents on their site. They've collected all of the audio from all of the speeches that have happened since DEF CON 1. You can learn from the conference without even attending, but where would the fun be in that? It's all about the experience and to be honest, this is the type of event that would attract me, and I'm not even a hacker. This is a convention that I would recommend to any tech fan out there. Hackers Unite!

One year later, Scouts, friends and family 'finish the hike' for Andrew
By Kate Nalepinski
On the first anniversary of their son's death, the McMorris family was tasked with a goal: to finish the hike that their son was never able to complete.
More than 530 hikers gathered outside Shoreham-Wading River High School Monday morning to "finish the hike" in honor of Andrew McMorris, 12, who was killed Sept. 30, 2018 by an alleged drunk driver while hiking along David Terry Road with Boy Scout Troop 161 in Manorville.
With a portrait of his son in hand, John McMorris and his wife Alisa and daughter Arianna led over 100 hikers sporting red on a 10-mile hike through the Pine Barrens as part of the Greenbelt Trail network.
"Today there's a lot of focus on doing what I taught my children always to do — to finish what they started," Ms. McMorris said. "And today is symbolic of that."
Scouts, family and friends in red T-shirts and hoodies labeled "Fly High, Andrew" hopped on school buses and were transported to the trailhead where police officers redirected traffic to ensure everyone's safety.
Roughly one mile in, community members paid their respects to Andrew at the crash site before continuing on. Participants were able to ride buses back to the high school at the one, five, and 10-mile mark.
Each hiker was asked to make a $5 donation to the Andrew McMorris Foundation or the lodge fund to support construction of a cabin in his honor at the Baiting Hollow Scout Camp.
The event was organized by Boy Scouts of America Suffolk County Council and spearheaded by senior district executive for the Boy Scouts of Suffolk County, Bobby Rabbitt.
Ms. McMorris said her family discussed hosting a memorial event on the one-year anniversary of the tragedy. When the family visited the Suffolk County Council, that group suggested hosting a community-based event to finish the hike the Scouts began that day.
"We were talking to them about wanting to do it and then they said, 'I think this should be something we heal together [on],' she said. "So we went along with a great idea of finishing what we started."
Boy Scouts of America chief operating officer Lauren Vlachos said the large group of hikers doesn't come as a surprise to her.
"Honestly this is what they usually do, they come together to support one another and to give back to their community," she said.
Troop 161 is Mr. Rabbit's district; he met Andrew as a young Cub Scout.
"He was a remarkable young man and to be able to put something like this together and to see the outpouring of support … it really touches me," he said. "It really makes me feel good that the support that they have is so tremendous."
The group wanted the hike to be accessible to friends and family of Troop 161 and to fellow mourning Scouters, Mr. Rabbitt said.
"It really is an overwhelming response to how close-knit, not just the regular community but also the scouting community is," he said
As hikers returned from the trails, the Wildcat Athletic Club and Greek Island Diner in Wading River provided drinks and food at the concession stand at Thomas Cutinella Memorial Field.
Ms. McMorris said the outpouring of support helps her grieve.
"When you're grieving, having other people help support you when you feel shattered is immensely important," she said. "They help keep those pieces together for you while you feel like you can't stand. That's what this is about for us today."
After the hike, the Andrew McMorris Foundation was hosting a benefit fundraiser at the Suffolk Theater in Riverhead that featured food, live music by Decadia, special guests and raffle prizes.
Ms. McMorris said she hopes the event encourages attendees to be kind to one another.
"Finishing the hike and sharing Andrew's love, legacy and kindness is what [this] is about for us," she said.

THEY say if you live long enough you'll see everything.
On Saturday, we've an All-Ireland final in an empty Croke Park the week before Christmas.
So that checks that one off the list.
We may not see how this actually manifests itself but these surreal conditions have to have some effect on at least some of the players involved.
It's inevitable.
Any time we prepared for an All-Ireland final when I played, we'd make sure every session we did beforehand prepared us for every element of the day itself.
Not just the opposition, but the occasion. The unique things you experience on the day of an All-Ireland final.
The music coming out of the tunnel. The parade around the pitch. Meeting the 'President', an acting role played expertly by one of the members of our management team.
Those mini ceremonies can seem like they last forever when you're mad for road and they have the potential to drain some of your energy if you're not properly tuned in, so some fellas would use that time to go through some mental preparations or triggers.
And the crowd too.
More or less, you don't hear the fans when you're playing. Or at least, the noise doesn't really register with you.
But you can definitely feel the energy.
If Dublin get a press on an opposition kick-out, the clamour of the fans can suffocate a goalkeeper into another mistake.
If things are going badly for Dublin, Hill 16 can emit this hum of nervous tension. It doesn't matter what zone you think you're in, you can feel that on the pitch.
Take a fella like James McCarthy. He thrives off that sort of stuff.
Most players are so focused on the microscopic elements of performance that you could have a stadium full of farm animals and they wouldn't notice.
But James is the sort of fella who actually rises with the atmosphere of those games.
So yes, it's going to be weird.
I saw James Horan speak about taking "calculated risks" on Saturday and if there was ever a good summation of the best way to go after Dublin now, that's it.
Most teams these days play in such a way that makes it virtually impossible to beat Dublin. They're overly cautious. Too adverse to taking risks.
Going all out, blazing guns, blitzing everything and hoping to overwhelm Dublin isn't going to work either.
One will inevitably lead to a slow and painful death. The latter, a quick but brutal execution.
Finding the balance is the key.
Roy Curtis: Opinion Mayo will not surrender to futility as they prepare for one of the great challenges in all of sport
Pat Spillane: Opinion Mayo have reason to hope - but they must go for man-for-man with champs Dublin
And the reason I'd give Mayo a strong chance on Saturday is because basically, that sliver of middle ground is where they naturally play.
People have huge admiration for this Mayo team because of their character, how resilient they are, how they have responded to so many horrible defeats.
But what stands out for me is the consistency in the way they play.
The first thing to say about Mayo is they're a very brave football team. That might sound patronising, but it's not at all.
They play without fear of losing. They stick to the Mayo way and instead of trying to reinvent themselves every time they get knocked back, they regroup and just try and improve.
They're welded to their principles.
Since James Horan was first around, they've had three changes of management.
Yet they've always stayed true to their style, tweaking and adjusting and trusting themselves rather than throwing the baby out with the bath water.

That's reflected in the number of All-Ireland finals and semi-finals they've been in over the last decade.
And bar last year, in the number of times they've taken Dublin to the wire.
No, they haven't managed to close out any of those games but they've always forced Dublin to uncomfortable places, making Dublin's big players do something exceptional to earn their victory.
Every game Dublin have played this year, they've been in stealth mode. Always in control. Never ruffled.
At no stage has anyone so much as made life in any way awkward for them.
Mayo do that better than anyone. And maybe they'll tell themselves that this week: 'nobody has put it up to the Dubs this year. They won't be prepared for what we hit them with on Saturday.'
They're not scared of Dublin. And they're not scared of losing.
They may never get a better chance than this.
Dublin will talk at length about that this week themselves. A good start and they could make life relatively easy for themselves and force Mayo into desperation mode.
A bad start and the dynamic of the game is totally different. All of a sudden then, Dublin have to start taking risks, they have to be more direct, taking lower-percentage options in the hope of a high yield play, like a goal.
They're obviously capable of that. But it's not a situation they've been in for a long time, not since the closing stages of the drawn All-Ireland final last year, when they had to press Kerry all over the pitch with one fewer player.
Given the choice, that's not the kind of game you want to be playing in an All-Ireland final.
Because Mayo have the speed and they have the physique to live with Dublin for every minutes of Saturday's games.
There's obviously a lot riding on Mayo's new men.
It's a big occasion. There's no definite way of knowing how they'll all respond.
But that's where the lack of pomp and ceremony and crowd may be of benefit to Mayo.
Because you can sure of how Dublin's big players will perform.
Brian Fenton and Ciarán Kilkenny are running this team now. And in Con O'Callaghan, I just feel, there's a man waiting to cut loose.
He was excellent the last day against Cavan but there's definitely more in him. He thrives on these days and for me, he's the potential match-winner.
That's what these games have come down to in recent years - an exceptional player pulling off a big play with the game and Sam Maguire on the line.
I'd expect nothing less on Saturday.

BEN IMPRESSES WITH BALL AND IN FIELD FOR SOUTHERN DISTRICTS
Ben Twohig was again amongst the wickets and also made a telling contribution in the field before Ben Cox saw Southern Districts over the finishing line in the South Australia Cricket Association first grade clash with Prospect CC.
Worcestershire spinner Twohig followed up his two wickets in the T20 meeting with East Torrens 24 hours earlier with another brace and ended with the excellent figures of 10-3-23-2.
Twohig came into the attack second change and held onto a return chance offered by Ethan Callan (0) while Cooper McKenzie (5) was stumped by Joshua Barrett.
He also showed a safe pair of hands in holding onto chances in the slips, mid-wicket and deep mid-wicket to account for opener Paul Wasiewicz (15), Harvey Brennan (5) and Jasper Darley (12).
Prospect reached 106-2 at one stage after electing to bat and were bowled out for 142 in 48 overs.
Southern Districts made light work of their task thanks to a stand of 88 for the second wicket between Barrett (59 not out) and Brendan McCormack (51).
County keeper-batsman Cox had time to make 10 not out in an unbroken stand of 35 with Barrett as Southern Districts won by eight wickets with 19.3 overs to spare.
*Josh Dell was dismissed for 10 as Mosman CC (135 all out in 29.2 overs) went down by 98 runs to St. George's CC (233 in 49.3 overs) in a New South Wales Premier Cricket first grade fixture.


1. Don't swim in the sea.
More than 99% of all shark attacks happen in large water masses, also known as oceans. The way to establish if you're in an ocean is to taste the water. It should taste salty.
2. Swim with fatter people.
Always make sure there are fatter people already in the water before you enter. Chances are you will be able to swim faster than them and save yourself.
3. Don't go in the water without a knife.
That's to stab the nearest swimmer when you see a shark. As soon as he/she bleeds profusely, swim as fast as you can to the shore and claim you tried your best to save him/her. You might end up getting an award for bravery.
All sharks have a 'theme song' - If you hear the following, swim for your life : da-dam, da-dam, da-dam. If it sounds like this dadam, dadam, dadam you're already gone .


I was checking out some news about the latest Marvel movie (Black Panther! Can't wait!) on a legitimate entertainment site when I was hit with the pop-up ad below. At first glance, it looks like a dire warning that my phone has some type of virus. With all the news about bad Android apps and that Spectre/Meltdown security flaw, a warning like this can be alarming.
The pop-up warns that your system has been affected by, not one, but four viruses. It even goes so far as to say that it is specifically 28.1% damaged. And offers instructions that require you to download a particular app. There's even a handy REPAIR FAST NOW button.
And I promise you, no software is going to give you a precise number for the damage to your phone. It doesn't work that way. If you were to tap that big, blue button, here' what you'd see. An app called Android Cleaner in the Google Play store.
Once installed, apps like these will feed a steady stream of pop-ads. Often times showing them on your lock screen. Generally, they'll cause you to burn more battery power because they are always on. Is this app a legitimate junk cleaner? Maybe. But I have grave suspicions about a product that uses misleading pop-ups to get you to download. Now, I don't know that the app itself is behind the misleading app. It's possible that they offer a fee for referrals and a third party is using the misleading add to collect the referral fee. But still, there's nothing wrong with your phone here. That ad itself is a big, fat scam.
So remember my advice to always take a minute to take a deep breath when you see something like this that provokes a panic response. Don't just tap that button. Take a moment to read, maybe a few more moments to research.

Always right click the taskbar and choose "close window" from the pop-up menu, or use Alt F4 to exit the program entirely. Malware coders are extremely creative, so it sounds superficially plausible.

Jack Harlow, Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X Honored at Variety Hitmakers
Variety is pleased to announce the honorees for its fifth annual Hitmakers celebration. The Dec. 2 issue recognizes the writers, producers, publishers, managers and executives who helped make — and break — the 25 most consumed songs of the year.
Hitmakers culminates in an invitation-only brunch held on Saturday, Dec. 4, presented by Peacock and the streamer's Emmy-nominated comedy series "Girls5eva." At the brunch, the cast and creator of "Girls5eva" will help MC the event with videos made exclusively for the celebration.
Amazon Music will host the red carpet pre-show and awards presentation with Variety, and present the Rising Star of the Year Award which recognizes Polo G. IHG Hotels and Resorts will showcase their properties at the event.
Wagoneer is the official partner of the event and will be showcasing the all-new 2022 Grand Wagoneer on site. Premium spirits portfolio William Grant & Sons will be providing specialty cocktails made with Hendrick's Gin, Reyka Vodka, Milagro Tequila and Monkey Shoulder Whisky.
The 2021 Hitmakers program includes the following awards selected by Variety's editorial team:
BTS' "Butter" – Record of the Year: The song "Butter" blasted out to the world in May, becoming a record smashing single for BTS. The writers and producers, including multi-hyphenate creatives/executives Jenna Andrews and Ron Perry, the K-Pop group's own RM, Stephen Kirk, Alex Bilowitz and Rob Grimaldi, crafted the perfect hit that just won't quit. BTS prepared a special video for the Variety Record of the Year honor.
City Girls – The Future Is Female Award presented by Motown Records: The duo who prompted the world to "Act Up," Miami's City Girls have quickly risen to be one of the most promising acts in hip-hop, a genre typically dominated by male performers. Closing out 2021 with a bang — JT is featured on Summer Walker's "Ex for a Reason" and Yung Miami just released a solo single, "Rap Freaks" — City Girls are helping ensure that the Future Is Female as they pave the way for more female artists, writers and producers.
Columbia Records – Label of the Year: With a string of multi-format and -platform hits including "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" by Lil Nas X, "Mood" by 24kGoldn ft. Iann Dior and "Stay" by the Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber — and a new album by Adele — Columbia Records artists have owned the charts for much of 2021.
Mike Dean – Producer of the Year presented by Beatclub: From Kanye West to Lana Del Rey to Don Toliver, six-time Grammy-winning producer Mike Dean has had a fruitful 2021 on top of his long-term collaborations with Travis Scott, Kid Cudi and Madonna.
Lana Del Rey – Decade Award: In October 2011, Lana Del Rey released her first single, "Video Games," and a star was born. A decade later, she is regarded as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 21st century thanks to Grammy nominations and critical acclaim for her albums "Norman Fucking Rockwell," "Born to Die," and in the last year, "Chemtrails Over the Country Club" and "Blue Bannisters."
Billie Eilish & Finneas – Film Song of the Year: In co-writing the Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed "No Time to Die," Billie Eilish and Finneas have entered the iconic James Bond canon, helping the MGM film, released this year, become a box office smash that's grossed over $700 million worldwide.
Glass Animals – Group of the Year: After a lot of "rock is back" stories that didn't pan out in recent years, Glass Animals proved that it really is still possible to break an actual band in a big way, and now the U.K. band's sleeper hit "Heat Waves" has become a top 10 pop hit after a year of the group being the new face of rock.
Wendy Goldstein – A&R Award: Republic Records president of West Coast creative Wendy Goldstein receives Variety's inaugural A&R Award for her work crafting hits for the Weeknd and Ariana Grande in 2021, and a career that spans three decades.
Jack Harlow – Hitmaker of Tomorrow: From his Grammy-nominated hit "Whats Poppin" to his smash collaboration with Lil Nas X, "Industry Baby," Jack Harlow has become one of music's most talked-about artists. Looking ahead, the Louisville, KY rapper is poised for an even bigger 2022, making him Variety's Hitmaker of Tomorrow.
Walker Hayes – Sync of the Year: The country singer's "Fancy Like" was an inescapable, TikTok-driven crossover hit that got major play on Top 40 and AC stations, even before the release of a remix version with Kesha. Its mention of a "fancy" night out at Applebee's was just a lyrical detail, not intended as a sync — but of course the restaurant chain had to have it for a TV ad campaign once they heard it.
Lil Nas X – Innovator of the Year: With the release of his debut album, "Montero," Lil Nas X has proven to be a musical trailblazer and visual innovator whose arrival has changed the course of culture. That thanks in part to his provocative videos — on full display in 2021's "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" and "Industry Baby" — in which the artist demonstrates a singular point-of-view and an ever-evolving fashion-forward style.
Max Lousada – Executive of the Year: As CEO for Warner Recorded Music — home to iconic labels Atlantic, Warner and Elektra, among others — Max has steered a roster that includes music giants Lizzo, Ed Sheeran, David Guetta, and Coldplay, and many of 2021's biggest songs, among them Dua Lipa's "Levitating," Silk Sonic's "Leave the Door Open," Cardi B's "Up" and Masked Wolf's "Astronaut in the Ocean."
Normani – Collaborator of the Year: Features on hit songs by Sam Smith ("Dancing With a Stranger") and Khalid ("Love Lies") led Normani to cameo alongside Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion in the video to "WAP." Cardi returned the favor in 2021 on "Wild Side," a No. 1 radio hit for Normani and the latest feather in her collaboration cap.
Polo G – Rising Star Award presented by Amazon Music: Polo G's "Rapstar" was all over playlists and radio in 2021, the result of a year-long journey for the Chicago rapper, who took the song from a short YouTube video to a TikTok phenomenon to a No. 1 single. The future looks bright for the 22-year-old newcomer, who receives Variety's Rising Star award.
Olivia Rodrigo – Songwriter of the Year: With her debut album "Sour" released months after turning 18, Olivia Rodrigo has solidified her place as one of the most important voices of her generation. Variety celebrates her string of 2021 hits, including "Drivers License," "Good 4 uU" "Deja Vu" and "Traitor."
Austin Rosen – Manager of the Year: With a client roster that includes Post Malone, 24kGoldn and Iann Dior, as well as hitmakers Louis Bell, Carter Lang and Blake Slatkin, Austin Rosen's Electric Feel Entertainment has become a powerhouse in music management that helped shape the sound of 2021.
Kali Uchis – Crossover Award: The dreamy pop hit "Telepatía" has helped Crossover Award honoree Kali Uchis expand the reach of Latin music. Already a Grammy winner, 2021 has proven to be Kali's year as she positions herself among the biggest players in pop.
Steven Victor – Hitbreaker of the Year: The posthumous success of Pop Smoke, whose "What You Know Bout Love" and "For the Night" are among the 25 most-consumed songs of 2021, is due in part to the vision and conviction of industry veteran and philanthropist Steven Victor, founder of Victor Victor Worldwide.
"Variety's Hitmakers issue tells the definitive story of the year in music while recognizing those who played a hands-on role in making and breaking the biggest hits of 2021," said Shirley Halperin, Variety's executive editor of music. "On the heels of the 2022 Grammy Award nominations, and in tandem with our own Music for Screens Summit (Dec. 1-3), Variety has the industry covered top to bottom. We look forward to toasting the successes of 2021 and the people who really move the needle in this business we all love."
