Another RuCap: All Stars 3, Episode 1
One thing that you may not know about me is that I am what's known as a "Drag Race Superfan", or "RuHo" for short. I am obsessed with this show, it's one that I watch every year and every queen in some way delights me. In fact, on this very blog (OK, reposted from my Moviepilot days) I did a speculation of who was going to be in this very cast… I did pretty well, 6/10, that's a pass. I've also made a list (Again, a repost) of lip syncs from the series that got overlooked. So I think it's safe to say that I was so excited for this season, and to see just what these queens brought so every week I'm going to provide a quick recap (Heh, quick, like that'll happen. I have an hour to get through and 10 queens to talk about, grab snacks now because we're going through everything that happened) along with my personal opinions on what happens. There will be spoilers, lots of them so be warned that from here on out we're going to be spilling all the T… that doesn't sound as good in pure text form as it does when said out loud. Anyway, Let's begin.
So the episode opens on… The Henny-Maiden's Tale? There's an entire sketch with previous All Stars winners Chad Michaels and Alaska Thunderfuck living in the "Drag Race Hall Of Fame" with a set that probably cost them more to rent for an hour than they spent on the first season. They've got an actual budget now which is always good to see, means VH1 is treating them right. I hope this little sketch becomes a regular thing for this season, there are almost a dozen winners who could come back to be part of this Henny-Maiden's Tale world. Bonus points to the editors for putting the label "Ofrupaul" under the picture in the hall of fame, very clever little touch.
The actual episode starts properly with the first queen in the workroom being Trixie Mattel in a grand pink roller chick outfit, complete with roller blades which she uses for great comedic effect and her hilarious entrance line which may be the best of them all, but then again I'm a sucker for corny one-liners.
Next up is Milk with her denim ensemble and hair that kind of looks like she went to the wig maker and showed them the head of a penis and said: "Make that, but out of hair". It's a look that very few could pull off and Milk is one of them, bonus points for the eyeshadow matching the outfit, a sea of blue denim that really says "I'm here to win, right after I milk the cows and tend to the sheep"
Chi Chi DeVayne walks in with the first of what will be a recurring motif this episode… swimsuit with shit glued to it. To her credit, she glued some good shit to it, the colours are bright and she turned the trash bag into something pretty spectacular and I genuinely love it but I hope this isn't the start of a season full of swimsuits with shit glued to them. That never works out. After a while, Michelle will clock you and it will hurt. I do love seeing Chi Chi back though, she was a force to be reckoned with on her season and I really hope to see as much out of her as possible.
Thorgy Thor is the next to run on in, almost breaking an ankle just by walking in. Her hyper energy is definitely infectious and that's either going to help her shine or rub the girls the wrong way but I'm excited to see what happens with her. I'm hoping this is the last time we see this outfit though. Maybe this looked amazing in person but I think it's the top that's throwing me, it's mismatched and after what's walked in the room so far it's kind of a downer. But, again, her pure bright enthusiasm makes me so happy… as does the shady editors who are at their most shady by following Thorgy saying that she's learned tricks on how to focus and relax with 10 seconds of her looking for a stray hair that was in her vision.
Shady editors, how I missed you.
The clouds part and a bolt of lightning cracks the floor and up from the pits of hell is the most iconic bitch of them all, Morgan McMichaels. When I call her a bitch, I say that with pure love because she is the one who had the first fight on Untucked and this show needs a good shady bitch. They got the best of them all because she's not only quick-witted and not afraid to speak her mind, she looks goddamn perfect all the time and I live for her. Plus anyone who proudly says "You can't kill evil that easy" in reference to herself is my kind of queen.
Rolling in on a beautiful pink scooter, fresh from Season 9 is Aja and she's perfect, she's beautiful, she looks like Linda Evangelista if Linda Evangelista put on a gorgeous bright yellow wig and nails that could cut someone in half. I'm so damn happy to see her, she has grown so much and created the most iconic moments of season 9. She is everything and guess what? Her smile is beautiful.
BenDeLaCreme comes in, repeating her original entrance so perfectly that they were able to edit the old footage in and the change is barely noticeable. Her bubbly joyful smile is always good to see and even though the other queens read her for it, I love that Ben took her old Season 6 finale dress and repurposed it to create something different. They're clothes, you can wear them more than once and if you can alter an old outfit to make it look fresh I say go for it. Also, I'm sure everyone's going to just have endless screencaps of her confessional look which is pure Jughead from Archie Comics… I would show a screencap but it's a pain in the ass to get those. Just trust me, it's adorable and pure.
Kennedy Davenport flies into the workroom in with an outfit that I still have no idea how to handle. I think it's the mirrors on the face that throw me cos everything else I love. The gown is perfection, that hair is impossible and I'm pretty confident is CGI, but god those weird mirrors on the face just throw me. I do love that Kennedy's back, this means we have a good chance of a Chi Chi VS Kennedy lip sync which will naturally kill us all with how amazing that will be. Seriously, I hope one of the episodes is rigged just to make that happen. Though if that does then that'll destroy Trixie's theory of them being the same person just from different time periods, and if they touch then the world will end… that was a Southland Tales reference, because that movie clearly needed to be referenced when talking about Drag Race.
Last into the workroom is Shangela who comes with a Tiffany's box facade to reveal that she's here. While some people might have a problem with her repeating the Box joke… the show kind of made that a thing. It's part of her origin story, it's part of what got her here. Yeah, it's a joke that's now appeared in more seasons than Santino Rice but it's a joke that needed to happen because otherwise, she wouldn't have entered the room properly. Plus, love that she matched the box to her outfit. She looks amazing and she is ready to take that crown because right now, she is amazing as hell.
And that's it, that's all the queens… at least, that's what everyone thought at the time. Now is when the spoilers really kick in, last chance to back out. Seriously, last chance because we're about to see the 10th queen and you can probably already see the picture since you're scrolling and I'm not putting a gigantic gap between this paragraph and the photo of the 10th queen… and that queen is-
Bebe Zahara Bonet, the original Next Drag Superstar. There were so many theories about who the mystery 10th queen was and I saw everyone listed, from Willam to Laganja to Lucian Piane (Remember her?) but it was obviously always going to be Bebe. Bebe is the only person who would be a legitimate surprise, a winner returning? That's a twist worthy of the first episode back and god damn does she look flawless. She is absolutely graceful and perfect, every inch a crowned queen and while I kind of have hopes for one of the other queens to win (Team Shangie, I'm just saying that now), I will not be shocked if Bebe takes it home because she is pure perfection.
With our batch of queens all ready to go, it's time to open up the library and with this group, we're in for one hell of a reading challenge. They're in it to kill and because every queen was so good, I'm just going to give my top 5 favourites in the order that they were said on the show, just cos that's easier than trying to pick an actual favourite read.
Chi Chi, to Milk "Just like the drink, you give me the shits"
Milk, to Shangela "I always thought her name was Angela and people were always telling her to shut up"
Shangela, to Thorgy Thor "You know I love clowns, and I never met an unfunny one until I heard you reading"
BenDeLeCreme, to Bebe "I hear this is the year you might get two crowns, which is not a lot of dental work as far as those early seasons are concerned"
Bebe, to Kennedy "I'm the only African here, but why does it look like with Kennedy Davenport you can sponsor her for 30 cents a day?"
Needless to say, none were as brutal as Katya's infamous "I think about you every morning at the bus stop" read but they were pretty damn funny. There's also a bunch of deleted reads up on VH1.com which is where you'll actually find my personal favourite read from these queens (Seriously, this is All Stars, we would've handled a 20 minute long reading challenge).
Shangela, to Aja "Bitch that outfit is so cheap, it looks like it was made by me"
I'm a sucker for a good self-read, what can I say? So after everything is said and done, the winner of this weeks mini-challenge is…
The former Miss Congeniality BenDeLeCreme brought the evil shade that we love seeing so much and I'm so glad to see it. I had a feeling it was going to be her… mostly because hers was the one we got to see the most of. I do really wish they'd show us all of them, or at least an even amount of reads so we can actually be surprised but when everyone else gets 3 reads and Ben get's 4, you can kind of tell who's got the win.
While they're in the workroom preparing for the talent show a few big issues come up. The first is just how everyone is intimidated by having Bebe being there, the former winner is really the toughest competition that any of the queens could've imagined but they point out what is pretty important for the fans to remember… Bebe has the most to lose here. Anything less than winning is a step down for her at this point and it'll be interesting to see how she handles that pressure as the season goes on.
The moment that seems to throw everyone is when Morgan admits that she's just going to send the strongest queen home no matter what. I'm with her on that. While I get what the other queens are saying about how they'd feel bad doing that, this is a competition and I can't think of a bigger compliment to give to a queen than turning to them and saying "As long as you're here, I can't win so you have to go". That's a goddamn compliment and a half right there… plus, let's be honest, if I wanted the person who the judges decided was the worst to go home, I'd ask RuPaul to eliminate the queens. This is All Stars, this is where the queens are in charge so goddamn it I want the dramatic moment of someone being told, explicitly "You are too much competition for me to not take this chance right now while I have it". So yeah, I'm with Morgan on this one… and judging by some of the confessionals, I doubt Morgan's the only one who feels like the best option is to get rid of the top dogs.
Then there's the question about Aja, namely "She just was on a season, why is she here" to which the only answer is "Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova, but your dad just calls her Katya". Katya literally went right off Season Seven onto All Stars 2 which was filmed a month after Season 8, so Katya literally went right back into the lions den just like Aja did and Katya made it to top three so maybe it's not a good idea to underestimate her in this competition just because she just got off a season, that means she's the one who best remembers every inch of that studio and knows the best places to hide the bodies of everyone she destroys on that stage.
With the judge's panel filled with the iconic Michelle Visage, the fashionable Carson Kressley, the come-back kid Ross Matthews and the effervescent Vanessa Hudgens, the time has come for the main stage challenge. So, let's go through everyone's talent show performance and discuss what we, the home audience, got to see.
We open the show with Shangela doing an incredible dance routine. I'll be honest, I kind of wanted her to just keep taking me to church in the choir lady robe that she walked in on because that was giving me all the life that I needed but then she threw it aside, bringing us our second decorated swimsuit of the episode and turned it out. Her performance was amazing, filled with references to some of her most well-remembered moments from the series and some iconic moves, including the death drop which it still stuns me that she does considering that she broke her leg doing it a few years ago. It's everything you want out of Shangela and she gave it all.
Next comes Bebe in the same wig she wore for her most iconic look in season one (Go google Bebe Season 1, look for this wig, then come back and agree with me that her outfit was freaking iconic!), and I love it. That wig was huge and looked wonderful on her back then, and it looks wonderful on her now and when combined with her outfit and makeup creates an entirely different kind of iconic look, combined with a great performance piece that pays homage to her roots. Plus, her swimsuit with accessories tacked on it worked perfectly for the dance that she was doing and I loved it.
Thorgy Thor got out her violin to give us some classical music to change things up, showing off so much of her talent that it made jaws everywhere hit the floor. Her act started slow and ended up getting more energetic the longer it went on, even throwing in a one-handed cartwheel for good measure. Apparently, she was doing a violin version of Sissy That Walk and maybe I'm just out of touch, but I totally didn't get that she was doing that song. I loved her performance, I just didn't catch that she was doing a slowed down version of a RuPaul song. Way to utilise the show you're on to pick a song that you know they'll have the rights too.
Aja comes out next, doing an absolutely stunning performance to her own song Level Your Pussy Up (I think I linked to the correct version on Itunes, but if I didn't just buy it anyway to support drag artists) and it is amazing. She pulls out energetic dance moves and outfit reveals that no one saw coming, while also hitting every syllable of the song and getting the audience going so that when she literally leaps off a box into a death drop, it killed everyone else in the room.
Kennedy is next, bringing us another swimsuit and another incredible dance performance. Kennedy isn't called the dancing diva for nothing, she pulls out all the stops and spins her hair like it's actually attached to her head and even leaps up onto the box that Aja jumped down from. It's an insanely fun performance that put a huge smile on the audiences face.
BenDeLaCreme brings us a hilarious burlesque performance that utilized her insanely expressive face and her terminal delightfulness to create some genuinely great moments of physical comedy and a complete well-rounded performance that had everyone doubled over with laughter by the time she was done.
Chi Chi Devayne changes where the accessories to her swimsuit are glued, instead of around the edges they're on the front and pure green, so Michelle will be happy. Her dancing isn't as incredible as I remember and her hair keeps going in her face. I honestly didn't have as many problems with her shoes as everyone else did because I remember about 5 minutes ago in the episode when Bebe performed in bare feet. I was more bothered with the messy wig that was hiding her beautiful smile and how that outfit didn't work at all.
Morgan came out with a performance that was OK, I genuinely liked what she had recorded because her rap was appropriately snarky and funny. As expected, Morgan hit every syllable flawlessly because she is a master lip-syncer. Her big problem is that she spends more times looking to the other girls than at the judges while she's performing, and also her wig seems to keep annoying her and flying away from where it's meant to go. It's sad because Morgan is amazing, I really was hoping for something a little more high energy. Also, yes, another swimsuit. I've now lost count of how many there have been in this episode alone.
Then comes Trixie with nothing but a harp and a song called Moving Parts, which you can find on the Spotify app and I highly recommend listening to it a few thousand times because it's beautiful. It's a risky move for Trixie to not go for comedy, just showing off one of the most beautiful songs in her repertoire because it could've ended like… well, the emotional songs sung in All Stars 2. Instead, she fills it with such charm and shows off so much talent that it's undeniably a high point of the show.
Next is Milk with this strange performance piece where she repeats the lines "Walking with fashion/touch with fashion" a few dozen times, walks down the runway with cardboard outfits velcroed to her body. It's a strange performance that you either love or hate, it's the mother! of performances and I definitely don't think it was the best, but I can get how some would love it.
With the show over it's time to discuss tops and bottoms. Bebe, Kennedy, Milk and Trixie are all declared safe, I definitely understand that. They were definitely the ones who were either good, but not "Oh my gawd" good, or they were so strange that it's hard to pick top or bottom. Normally this show has 3 tops and 3 bottoms but here we had 4 tops and 2 bottoms, the 4 tops being Shangela, Thorgy, Aja and BenDeLaCreme. It's a pretty impressive pack and they all take their critiques well. For example, Shangela is told by Michelle that her outfit is a bodysuit with boots which 4 other people had on… so she promised to burn it. Something tells me that she won't be caught in one of those for the rest of the season, without a good reason. Morgan and Chi Chi handle their negative critiques well, they explain what they were thinking and admit their mistakes, it's nice to not hear excuses.
After a quick deliberation, BenDeLaCreme and Aja are revealed as the top two and so they end up being forced to pick who goes home out of Morgan and Chi Chi. This means they have to head off to the workroom to deliberate, including a discussion about a potential pact that I don't think anyone actually agreed on. I mean, Ben seems to think they did but as Shangela put it "Did you see All Stars 2? The group consensus thing didn't work out!". I'm glad this is going to be a permanent part of All Stars, it adds a great level of drama that really makes this show much more entertaining.
While this is going on by the way, on stage Vanessa Hudgens does a lip-sync of "Cover Girl" against a literal pork chop and that better happen in every episode from now on. Considering who we have as guest judges this season, I need to see all of them being dorks beside a slab of meat while lipsyncing to a RuPaul song. It's gloriously silly and lets us have a little more fun with the guest judge. Heck, I'd be happy to see them doing the full 2-minute lip sync because I'm sure some of them will be insane.
Aja and Ben pick their queens, their lipstick votes slipped away into their outfits before they hit the stage to perform Anaconda by Nicki Minaj. I'm not a fan of this song, but oh god am I a fan of these queens lip syncing it.
Aja is giving an energetic performance that perfectly fits the song how Nicki Minaj sang it. She hits every beat, she get's every lyric, she is giving you sex and it's amazing. She shows why she was a lip sync assassin in her season and god damn I hope she tops again soon so we can see this kind of performance more often.
Ben goes full comedy for the song, pulling extreme faces and doing the silliest dance moves and it's pure BenDeLaCreme in the best way. She devours that stage like she was an Anaconda, she's having so much fun up there and making her audience howl with laughter.
BenDeLaCreme wins the lipsync, her first lip sync win ever. It's a well-deserved win and therefore, she's the one who gets to eliminate someone. She gives her explanation, she takes control and states very explicitly that she doesn't want Morgan's plan of eliminating the biggest competition to be the one everyone goes with. She seems to think that there's a group consensus that they'll just send the worst queen home and, if we go by Aja's confessional, that's not the case. BenDeLaCreme ends up sending Morgan home, but I will not be shocked in any way if next week we find out that Aja picked Chi Chi based on her reaction to Ben's speech. It's also just kind of funny that, instead of picking the person who clearly got the worse critiques that instead, Ben picked the one who was a threat to her while condemning Morgan's suggestion of eliminating people she viewed as a threat… little funny, also a little sad.
Now eliminated, Morgan goes back to the workroom where she gives her goodbye speech, but RuPaul has something planned for her… and so do Chad and Alaska, if their sudden appearance in the workroom behind her right at the end means anything.
So this episode definitely shows that All Stars 2 wasn't a fluke, this is how an All Star season should be run because you genuinely have no idea who's going to go home and who's going to succeed. It's a little early to call it but I'm going to say that this episode showed me not to be shocked if Aja makes it to the end because she's in it this time, same with Shangela and Trixie who all are my current top 3. I'm a touch concerned that Milk and Thorgy are getting, for lack of a better term, a villain edit because it definitely seems like we're seeing more of their shady sides than usual but hell, we need villains and I kinda love seeing Milk reading people in the confessionals. It's going to be fun seeing where this goes because, unlike the last 2 seasons of All Stars, I couldn't tell you who was going to win even with a gun to my head. So can't wait to see how this season turns out.
…so, that was quick right?
Note: All the gifs used here were taken from the official Drag Race Giphy page which I will probably be using every week. All screencaps were taken by me from the episode on Stan (local version of Netflix, basically) so I apologise for any blurriness.

Always nice to see other Drag Race fans 🙂 I thought it was a great start to the season and can't wait to see what happens next. My sister told me the pork chop bit may be related to the first ever eliminated Queen on Drag Race, Porkchop. Or just that Ru loves pork chops 🙂
leebutler says:
Yeah, it's definitely a reference to the first queen. There's usually one reference to her every season and I think this might be my favourite. I just hope it's regular because if we get Nancy Pelosi, Kristen Chenoweth and Titus Burgess lip syncing against a pork chop, this will be the best season of television ever. I'm excited for next week cos apparently the runway is "Do an old look from your season" and I've already seen images of Aja's Princess Disastah redo so it's going to be something special 🙂
Ana Victoria says:
The first ever Rugirl to be eliminated was Victoria "Porkchop" Parker.

We all want something that is really worth our investment, don't we? While anyone can say that most flooring options are versatile and easy to maintain, none of them has a reasonable price like laminate flooring does.
This is the reason why laminate flooring is becoming widely popular these days. And while most people cannot afford the extravagance of installing expensive flooring, laminate flooring provides the same functionality without breaking your bank accounts.
When you are remodeling and on a tight budget, it can be best to look for alternatives that provide you with the same benefits of having an expensive flooring option without spending outrageous amounts of money. Laminate floorings can provide that because they are relatively cheaper than most other types of flooring and has its own intrinsic advantages.
Laminate flooring has less than half the price of hardwood and can be much cheaper than carpet. Aside from being cheap, laminate flooring options are the better option than most other floor coverings because they are durable, easy to install, come in a variety of styles, and are easy to clean and maintain.
Laminates typically simulate wood and sometimes stone. They are constructed in layers with an inner core made of fiberboard. The bottom layer is composed of a backing which is designed to resist moisture. A realistic high-resolution image of wood, stone, or other materials makes the flooring material appealing and on top is a wear layer that protects it from damages.
Laminate flooring is designed to be scratch-resistant and extremely durable. They are perfect flooring options for traffic areas around the house. They are also much easier to install those other flooring options because they have a design that allows interlocking between boards. This saves on installation time as opposed to other types of flooring which needs intricate installation procedures.
Aside from that, they also come in a wide variety of styles and choosing one depends on your personal preference and style. They are stain and moisture resistant which makes cleaning a breeze.
Though laminate flooring seems easy to install, it can be best to leave the job to professionals who can easily and quickly have your laminate floor installed. Aside from that, there are also other reasons why you should hire a professional to have your laminate installed.
For the most part, professionals are equipped with the right tools to make the job simple. A professional company like Cowboy Remodeling also has the expertise to give you the best results. Professionally done installation eliminates errors that would often occur with a DIY project.
Also, your house may have existing flooring. Only qualified experts would know when to install laminate flooring above the existing floor or when to have them removed. In addition, hiring professionals would eliminate other problems such as moisture issues that could potentially damage the laminate, odd angles, and uneven floor heights. This ensures that you get the results you want without sacrificing much of your time, energy, and money.
Lastly, one important reason why you need to hire professionals is because laminate flooring installation takes tremendous amounts of time. Experts can finish a project in less time than with a DIY route because of experience and expertise.
Regardless if you are constructing or renovating a new home, if you want a beautifully installed laminate flooring, let Cowboy Remodeling do the hard work for you. Call our office today for a free quote.
For more laminate flooring information, call (469) 518-7573.

Find out just what exactly phpPgAdmin symbolizes and also for what purpose it's utilised in a web hosting account.
PhpPgAdmin is one of the most popular instruments for controlling PostgreSQL databases. It's easy-to-use, yet powerful and you're able to do any action you would like - import, export and update any cell, row or table in a database; grant, revoke or modify the permissions for a given user; execute SQL queries and a lot more. When you want to have a backup copy of a PostgreSQL-driven site, for example, or move it to an alternative web hosting provider, you'll be able to export the entire database in a format of your liking - SQL, CSV, XML, XHTML and many others. Using phpPgAdmin, you'll have complete control over your databases and anything related to them. The instrument was originally meant to be the PostgreSQL alternative of phpMyAdmin, however nowadays they have very little in common when it comes to the interface.
phpPgAdmin in Web Hosting
If the web hosting that you select works with PostgreSQL databases by default or you install them as an upgrade, you can use phpPgAdmin to manage them. The application can be used from the PostgreSQL section of our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and it takes only a click to log in to each of your databases. This happens instantly in a separate tab of your browser, and in case you would like to allow access to a database to another individual, you can give them the login details for the specific database and they will be able to use our direct phpPgAdmin login page. In this way, a graphic designer or a company IT person will be able to work on a particular site without accessing anything else within your shared website hosting account - files, email messages, private details, etc.
We provide phpPgAdmin with all of our semi-dedicated servers and you are able to use it to take care of any PostgreSQL database that you create from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The moment you set up a new database, a phpPgAdmin button will appear next to it, which means that with just a click you'll be able to log in to the tool and view the content of that specific database. You won't need to enter any username or password as long as you log in through your web hosting account, still if you'd like to log in manually or to grant access to a database to another person, you will also have the option to do this. In this way, if you take care of the account and the company IT person manages the site content, for instance, he'll be able to work on your website without accessing any email messages or some other private information.

Физическая система — объект физических исследований, такое множество взаимосвязанных элементов, отделённых от окружающей среды, что взаимодействует с ней, как целое. При этом под элементами следует понимать физические тела или другие физические системы. Взаимодействие физической системы с окружением, а также связь между отдельными составляющими физической системы реализуется с помощью фундаментальных физических взаимодействий (гравитация, электромагнитное взаимодействие, сильное взаимодействие, слабое взаимодействие), или взаимодействий, которые сводятся к фундаментальным (трение, упругость, вес и др.). Выделение конкретной физической системы из окружения зависит от конкретных целей и задач исследований.

Примерами физических систем являются: атом, атомное ядро, галактика, идеальный газ, колебательный контур, математический маятник, Солнечная система, твёрдое тело, и т. д.

Классификация физических систем
 По разделу физики, описывающая их поведение, физические системы разделяют на: механические, термодинамические, электрические, магнитные, электромагнитные, оптические, квантовые, атомные, ядерные и т. д. Некоторые сложные физические системы требуют применения законов и методов различных разделов физики и не могут быть причислены к определённому классу.

 По характеру взаимодействия с окружением выделяют изолированные, закрытые и открытые системы.
 При рассмотрении изолированных физических систем часто допускают, что система может иметь связь некоторого типа с внешней средой. Например, предполагается, что на замкнутую механическую систему не действуют внешние силы и моменты сил (или их равнодействующая равна нулю), то есть нет обмена механической энергией, но допускается возможность теплообмена с окружающей средой. Изолированная термодинамическая система не имеет теплообмена с окружающей средой, но на неё могут действовать механические силы, то есть есть обмен механической энергией. Полностью изолированная физическая система является абстракцией, которая используется при построении моделей, предназначенных для рассмотрения внутренних процессов в физических системах, когда внешними воздействиями можно пренебречь. Но, как следует из общей теории систем, такая система не имеет входов и выходов. Поэтому она не может никоим образом влиять на окружающую среду, а внешний наблюдатель не может держать любой информации о такой системе.

 По принципу изменения свойств системы во времени физические системы делят на статические и динамические.

Свойства физических систем
Часто действие окружения на физическую систему задаётся в виде полей: электрического поля, магнитного поля и т. д. Такие поля называются внешними в отличие от полей, которые создают тела в самой физической системе.

Другими видами воздействия на физическую систему являются внешнее облучение, освещение и т. д.

Netflix's latest casts an effective spell.
Much like Riverdale put a new spin on teen high school dramas, Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will completely change your perception of Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) - at least if you grew up with the wholesome teenage witch portrayed by Melissa Joan Hart in ABC's TGiF lineup.
Here, Sabrina's spells involve Latin incantations rather than pithy poems, Salem the cat isn't a sassy puppet (although we kind of wish he was), and the leader of the witches isn't Penn Jillette, but the devil himself (there's a whole lot more Satanism in this show than you might've been expecting). Of course, for fans of the Archie Comics title of the same name (written by showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa) none of this will seem shocking at all - and viewers who dig the tone of this wicked teen tale will probably want to rush out and stock up on reading material.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has marketed itself as a series with more in common than Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist than the likes of Bewitched, and while the premiere doesn't have quite that level of horror (although that doesn't mean future episodes won't), it's still an effectively creepy twist on a familiar story - like a dark funhouse mirror of the original show, with names you recognize but character dynamics that may surprise you. That's especially true of Sabrina's aunts, Hilda (Wonder Woman's Lucy Davis) and Zelda (Lord of the Rings' Miranda Otto), the latter of whom is an icy devotee of the Church of Night who is determined that her niece will follow in the rest of the family's footsteps and essentially sell her soul to Satan in exchange for magical powers and decelerated aging.
As in the original series, Sabrina is a half-witch - with a magical father and mortal mother - which leaves her torn between two natures. She has a mortal boyfriend, Harvey, and a group of friends in Greendale, so she's in no rush to be shipped off to a magical school to study the unseen arts and cut off all contact with her mortal life, but she admittedly enjoys the perks of being a witch and still wants to please her family, setting up an understandable conflict that will seemingly drive the season.
There's plenty of high school drama in the first episode, which is the show's only real hint that it could've potentially ended up on The CW as a sister show to Aguirre-Sacasa's Riverdale (and it's tantalizing to imagine how Riverdale might've shifted into genre territory to facilitate a crossover if the shows had been airing on the same network), but at least in the premiere, Sabrina's witchy world is far more fascinating than the mortal stuff. It's understandable that the writers would want to ground Sabrina's struggle by introducing us to the friends she loves and doesn't want to leave behind, but the premiere does drag a little when the action shifts to Baxter High and its more mundane teen dilemmas, since the traditions and rituals of Sabrina's magical world are so intriguing and clearly well thought out.
One of the biggest surprises of the premiere is the character of Ambrose Spellman, Sabrina's pansexual cousin (and a character who wasn't in the original show), portrayed with easy charm by Chance Perdomo. Ambrose is a snarky delight every time he's on screen, and there's clearly a lot of backstory the show still has to reveal about him (we have no idea why he and Hilda have British accents while Sabrina and Zelda don't, but weirdly, we're OK with it). And despite not being a sassy puppet, the new iteration of Salem manages to steal every scene he's in.

The show certainly takes advantage of Netflix's lack of broadcast censorship - it's not overly gory, but there's plenty of freaky stuff afoot, giving it a slightly more adult tone than the likes of Riverdale - and it has an effective way of building tension that bodes well for the series as a whole. Even the opening credits are super creepy, setting the tone while paying homage to the original comics iteration of the character.
Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is nothing like the original sitcom (which is completely by design), but nonetheless manages to cast a beguiling spell in its opening episode. While the show might have benefited from a broadcast network's discipline in keeping to a tighter 43 minute run time as opposed to a full hour (darn that "Netflix bloat"), the series is skilled at building tension and leaves us eager to learn more about the spooky world of its protagonist.
Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is off to a strong and spooky (if slightly slow) start.

Knicks catch cold feet with playoff heat on
8yJovan Buha | Special to ESPNNewYork.com
Jovan Buha | Special to ESPNNewYork.com
LOS ANGELES -- As the free throw left Xavier Henry's hands, he could tell it was off to the right. He darted behind Iman Shumpert and Amar'e Stoudemire, grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked on Carmelo Anthony with 1:10 remaining in the third.
When the ball went through the net and the whistle blew -- Henry was fouled on the play -- all five of the New York Knicks on the floor turned and walked in separate directions with looks of shock and disbelief on their faces. Coach Mike Woodson crossed his arms and stared aimlessly.
That moment, more than any other on Tuesday night, encapsulated the Knicks' 127-96 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Knicks are three games back in the loss column behind the Hawks with 11 games left to play.
In arguably their biggest game of the season, the Knicks (29-42) laid a dud. Their effort was nonexistent over the final three quarters. For most of the game, they looked like they were the team playing for ping-pong balls, not the ballclub with a small shot at the postseason.
They were lost defensively, rotating over to 3-point shooters late and allowing big men to get behind their back line of defense. The Lakers nailed 18 of 28 3-pointers (64.3 percent), and more than half of them were wide open. Los Angeles scored 87 points in the second and third quarters -- they scored franchise-record 51 points in the third.
New York's effort was simply inexcusable.

"You can't. You can't explain it," Tyson Chandler said of the Knicks' lack of effort. "You can't really explain it, to be quite honest."
To make matters worse, the loss came in Los Angeles with newly minted president Phil Jackson in attendance.
After the game, the Knicks had no idea how to assess their lack of effort or another loss to a sub.-500 team.
Chandler said he was "shocked." J.R. Smith used the words "very surprised." Anthony couldn't even think of a word.
"At this point, there are no words you can put forth and say how we played tonight," Anthony said. "Everybody saw it. We just didn't have the energy tonight, the focus tonight. And they did. They played extremely well, and as a result, they beat us the way they did."
With four games left on their West Coast trip, the Knicks have to play virtually perfect basketball. There's no more room for error. Not that there was much, anyway.
Heading into the game, ESPN.com's Hollinger Playoff Odds gave the Knicks just a 9.4 percent chance of making the playoffs. Their projected record was 34-38, three games behind the Hawks' projection of 37-45.
Another loss cuts that percentage in half, and makes the path to the postseason that much difficult. Have you seen the Knicks' schedule in April? It's not pretty. And, that's skipping past the looming road dates in Golden State and Phoenix -- two teams hungry to not only make the playoffs, but also establish seeding.
The Knicks had an opportunity to capitalize and defeat an inferior opponent, and they didn't. The confounding season lives on.
"We should be upset," Anthony said of the team's morale. "We should be angry about this loss and take it out on Sacramento. That should be the mindset: win by any means tomorrow."
Woodson shared a similar sentiment: Don't give up. Look forward to tomorrow and keep fighting for the eight seed.
"We're still battling," Woodson said. "Somebody is going to have to win the eighth spot. It's going to be us or Atlanta. We just can't keep letting games slip away. Especially tonight, we came out ready to play and just didn't finish."
The problem is, it's probably too little, too late. The Knicks needed to beat the Cavaliers and Lakers to have a shot at catching the Hawks, and they didn't.
Instead of going out trying with a bang, it ended with a whimper.

Audio (8 discs)
Product Number: C3744
Narrator/s: Blanca Camacho, Annie Henk, Annie Kozuch, Noemi De La Puente, Melanie Martinez
Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "simply wonderful" How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents captures the vivid lives of the Garcia sisters, four privileged and rebellious Dominican girls adapting to their new lives in America. In the 1960s, political tension forces the Garcia family away from Santo Domingo and toward the Bronx. The sisters all hit their strides in America, adapting and thriving despite cultural differences, language barriers, and prejudice. But Mami and Papi are more traditional, and they have far more difficulty adjusting to their new country. Making matters worse, the girls-frequently embarrassed by their parents-find ways to rebel against them. A touching coming-of-age tale, this enthralling book perfectly illuminates the intergenerational struggles and multicultural clashes so common to the American immigrant family.

"Alvarez's poetic prose, with its rich, sensual detail, is brought perfectly to life by five readers. With expressive voices and accents that move adeptly between English and Spanish, they narrate the interwoven stories of four daughters of a wealthy family forced to leave the Dominican Republic and settle in the United States. Adjustment to immigrant life and its long-term consequences is explored with psychological astuteness from the point of view of each sister. Oddly, the narrators' voices are similar, making it difficult to distinguish among them, although this doesn't detract from the pleasures of listening. The rich detail, emotional depth, and fine narration make this a book that invites multiple listenings. E.S. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine"


Güzelyurt is situated about 1500m high and so are the vineyards of the area which belong to the highest-altitude winegrowing regions in the world. Harvest and processing of the grapes usually does not start before early October. At this time temperatures during the day are just over 20°C but can lower to 9°C in the night. We made our wines in steel tanks and in free-standing küps for the first two years. Since 2011 we have been using küps (amphorae) only.
Red as well as white grapes are crushed and de-stemmed in a mill. Without pressing the crushed grapes we immediately transfer them from the mill into the küp. Depending on the type of grape, we put some part of the stems back to the must two or three days later.
Fermentation of the must in the open küp starts rather spontaneously after eight to twenty-four hours.
If the must cap is not stirred regularly and carefully, the liquid spills out all over the küp.
Fermentation is normally finished between ten to twenty days later, but it might take much longer before the sugar has completely been transformed to alcohol and a dry wine has developed.
After having experimented for some time we now leave part of the skins or even the total amount, seeds and stems together with the wine in the küp for four to eight months. It depends on the grape variety how much of the grape residues we leave with the wine. Within the first two days of fermentation we decide how much of the stem residue we are going to add, which depends on taste.
When fermentation is finished we fill the küp up and close it tightly. During the following months grape skins, stems, seeds and sediment slowly settle on the bottom of the küp and the wine clarifies and stabilizes on its own account.
We organize our "Dionysos Symposium" in early April. It is the special event when we open the küps for the first time to taste our young wines. We then also decide how to proceed further: separating grape skins, stems, seeds and sediment from the wine; bottling or transferring the clarified wine into other küps for further maturation.
Our white wine develops in the cellar where the temperature remains constant whereas the red wine develops in a half open area where it is constantly exposed to varying day- and night-temperatures.
We never use any chemical additives or other substances, neither for growing our vines nor for making the wine. We do not need to fine or filter our wines because they clarify by themselves.

ROD Case No: 84-268 – June 7, 1988
Pursuant to Article IX of the United Mine Workers of America ("UMWA") 1950 Benefit Plan and Trust, and under the authority of an exemption granted by the United States Department of Labor, the Trustees have reviewed the facts and circumstances of this dispute concerning the provision of health benefits coverage for physician office visits, hospital emergency room visits and analgesic injections received by the Employee and his spouse.
The Employee and his spouse have obtained an extensive number of analgesic injections starting in April 1985 or earlier. The injections were received during hospital emergency room visits and physician office visits. There were two physicians (referred to hereinafter as "Physician A" and Physician B") involved.
During the 16-month period from April 1985 through July 1986, the Employee received a total of 230 injections — 122 times during emergency room visits, 12 times during office visits with Physician A, and 96 times during office visits with Physician B. The Employee's spouse received 404 injections — 108 times during emergency room visits, 53 times during office visits with Physician A, and 243 times during office visits with Physician B; the 404 injections were obtained on 320 different days, as the Employee's spouse obtained injections during two separate visits in the same day or 84 different occasions. The medications injected included stadol, stadol and phenergan, talwin and phenergan, and, on occasion, mepergan. Stadol, talwin, and mepergan have the potential for inducing drug dependence. The Employee and his spouse also received several oral analgesics and tranquilizers, including darvon, valium, and halcion. According to Physician B, the Employee's diagnoses are migraine headaches and recurrent back pain associated with an old back injury; the Employee's spouse's diagnoses are tension headaches, migraine headaches, and acute anxiety reaction. According to Physician A, the Employee's spouse's diagnoses are myofibrositis involving the back muscles and "a very strong psychological overlay."
The Employee obtained injections from Physician A throughout the 16-month period. The Employee's spouse also obtained injections from Physician A throughout the period except for an interruption beginning in March 1986, when the physician stopped providing them, and ending sometime before August 1986. Both the Employee and his spouse also obtained injections from Physician B starting in October 1985 and continuing throughout the period.
The Employer and its insurance carrier both attempted to obtain medical records from the two physicians to determine whether the analgesic injections constituted medically necessary and appropriate treatment for the Employee and his spouse. Physician A responded in March 1986, with respect to the Employee's spouse, that he recognized the problem with the number of injections and that he had terminated them. The physician indicated that there was a "very strong psychological overlay" to the Employee's spouse's complaints, and that he had attempted on several occasions — without success — to persuade her to see a psychiatrist. The physician submitted an extract from his office notes on the injections administered to the Employee's spouse;, the notes for a visit in February 1986 stated that injections were not "in any sort of treatment program that is going to significantly improve the patient's health" and that "further injections on a routine basis are not warranted." Physician A "terminated" the injections for the Employee's spouse in March 1986 but then resumed them sometime before August 1986. Physician B responded to requests for medical records with brief summaries listing the Employee's and the spouse's diagnoses and stating the physician's intentions to continue the administration of analgesic injections.
The Employer then referred the case to a professional peer review organization, which recommended further assessment of the Employee and his spouse for their pain-related symptoms and possible drug dependence, and a new treatment plan for the same. The Employer has denied payment of benefits for the office visits, emergency room visits, and analgesic injections.
Is the Employer responsible for making health benefit payments for the Employee's and his wife's physician office visits, hospital emergency room visits and analgesic injections?
Position of the Employee: The physician office visits, hospital emergency room care and analgesic injections are covered benefits.
Position of the Employer: The physician office visits, hospital emergency room visits and analgesic injections are not covered benefits under the Plan because the numbers of visits and injections have been excessive and have constituted inappropriate utilization of services. The Employee and his wife were not receiving medical treatment for documented illnesses or injuries; therefore, these services are not covered under the Employer Benefit Plan.
The Introduction to Article III of the Employer Benefit Plan states:
Covered services shall be limited to those services which are reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury and which are given at the appropriate level of care, or are otherwise provided for in the Plan. The fact that a procedure or level of care is prescribed by a physician does not mean that it is medically reasonable or necessary or that it is covered under this Plan. In determining questions of reasonableness and necessity, due consideration will be given to the customary practices of physicians in the community where the service is provided. Services which are not reasonable and necessary shall include, but are not limited to the following: procedures which are of unproven value or of questionable current usefulness; procedures which tend to be redundant when performed in combination with other procedures; diagnostic procedures which are unlikely to provide a physician with additional information when they are used repeatedly; procedures which are not ordered by a physician or which are not documented in timely fashion in the patient's medical records; procedures which can be performed with equal efficiency at a lower level of care. Covered services that are medically necessary will continue to be provided, and accordingly this paragraph shall not be construed to detract from plan coverage or eligibility as described in this Article III.
Under the Introduction to Article III of the Employer Benefit Plan, covered services are limited to those which are medically necessary, reasonable and appropriate. The Employer denied benefits for physician office visits, hospital emergency room visits and injections on the basis that these treatments were neither medically necessary nor appropriate. In ROD 81-553 (copy enclosed herein) the Trustees addressed the question of benefit coverage when neither the medical necessity nor the appropriateness of the treatment was established. In that case, the Trustees concluded that the Employer, by virtue of having obtained independent opinions from a consulting physician and a peer review organization, had applied reasonable procedures which established that the services in question were not medically necessary and appropriate, and therefore were not covered.
The Employer in this case has obtained an independent opinion from a peer review organization indicating that (1) the frequency of office visits, emergency room visits and injections was excessive; (2) the services were unwarranted in light of the documentation provided; and (3) because of possible chemical dependence, the patients' symptoms should be evaluated further and other treatment options explored. A Funds' medical consultant reviewed the case and agreed with these conclusions. He states that both patients have a pain syndrome that is either physical or psychological or a combination of both; there appears to be an over-utilization of services for their syndromes. Based on the independent reviews of the evidence in this case, the Trustees concur with the advice and conclude that the Employer has applied reasonable procedures which establish that the services in question are neither medically necessary nor appropriate. Therefore, the Employer is not responsible for the payment of benefits for the physician office visits, hospital emergency room visits and injections received by the Employee and his wife which do not constitute medically necessary and appropriate treatment. Inasmuch as there may be a problem of chemical dependence in this case, the Employee and his spouse should be encouraged to seek appropriate treatment within the limits established in Article III. A. (7)(f) of the Plan.
The Employer is not responsible for the payment of benefits for the physician office visits, hospital emergency room visits and injections received by the Employee and his spouse which do not constitute medically necessary and appropriate treatment.


First: Democrats are enthusiastic about voting. There is a temptation to treat their turnout purely as a function of their hostility to the way President Donald Trump has conducted himself in office. But it's important to remember that partisans of the opposition party are typically more motivated to vote in midterm elections than supporters of a president -- any president. Grievance is a more powerful motivator than satisfaction.
But a Trumpish cultural message -- illegal immigrants are a threat to the country, and the Democrats and the media treat you as a bigot for wanting to defend it; the elites are going after your president because they hate you could blunt the Democratic advantage on enthusiasm. Republicans don't need to endorse every Trump tweet or initiative to pursue this strategy. They will probably not want to defend the administration's family-separation policy, for example, and instead talk about the new left-wing campaign to abolish the agency that enforces immigration laws.


11-12 February 2016. Bonn. The chairmanship of the secretariat of the CAADP DPTT, from April 2013 to December 2015 assumed by the European Commission, has been taken over by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development since January 2016.
The aim of the meeting was to discuss amongst other topics the results of the recent assessment of the CAADP partnership structure and priority topics during German DPTT chairmanship.
ECDPM, ESRF, LARES. 2014. Independent assessment of the CAADP Multi-Donor Trust Fund. (ECDPM Discussion Paper 158). Maastricht: ECDPM.
This report finds that the Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) supporting the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) has played a key role in building the capacity of institutions tasked with advancing CAADP at continental and regional level and in improving coordination around CAADP. Nevertheless, it identifies important shortcomings in the way this support has translated to impact on the ground at the national level. Such shortcomings could be addressed during the ongoing design for a future MDTF. Making the MDTF more effective requires improving the governance of the Fund and clarifying its role vis-à-vis the CAADP structures and other types of CAADP support. But also a stronger role of national stakeholders in continental CAADP, better mainstreaming of CAADP in official AU-RECs organs and stronger subsidiarity, seem to be preconditions for such MDTF improvements to work.

Q: Is there any way to use the audio input of a 13" MacBook Pro? First question here!
I have a 13" MacBook Pro with Ubuntu 10.10 and I get every piece of hardware working without problem... but sound input.
My machine can reproduce sound correctly, but I can record nothing. The 13" MacBook pro only has one jack connector for both, input and output.
How can I solve this?
Thanks in advance.

A: See my answer at Bad sound quality and headphones not working for the steps to troubleshoot the issue and provide more information. This is an issue with sound support in the Linux kernel.

A: You either need hardware that works with that combo-port or you need an adapter that splits it into one line-in and one line-out port. Bottom line: not an Ubuntu problem.

In business since 1987, RC Coastal Well & Pump, Inc. has been providing complete water well installations.
Keep your water clean and tasting great. We provide reliable water well services 24/7.
Committed to environmentally friendly and conscious natural water well services.


The $1 billion package will also replace 50 million square feet of lawns throughout the state with drought-tolerant landscaping in partnership with local governments - direct the creation of a temporary, statewide consumer rebate program to replace old appliances with more water and energy efficient models - require campuses, golf courses, cemeteries and other large landscapes to make significant cuts in water use - and prohibit new homes and developments from irrigating with potable water unless water-efficient drip irrigation systems are used. A portion of the funds will be used for emergency food and water for suffering Valley towns.
Last week's California Department of Water Resources manual survey found no snow at 6,800 feet in the Sierra Nevada. This was the first time in 75 years of early-April measurements that no snow was found at the same survey location.
Brown observed the survey which confirmed electronic readings showing the statewide snow-pack with less water content April 1 than any other April 1 since 1950.
Department of Water Resources Director Mark Cowin said Californians can expect to receive almost no water from the meager snow-pack as it melts in the coming weeks.
Previous record low snow-packs were 25% of average, both in 1977, and last year. The latest survey puts the state at 5% of average.
"We're in a new era," Brown said standing on a patch of brown grass near Lake Tahoe that is usually blanketed by up to five feet of snow this time of year.
"The idea of your nice little green grass getting lots of water every day, that's going to be a thing of the past. This historic drought demands unprecedented action," Brown said.
The reduction in water use does not apply to the $40 billion agricultural industry, except for the requirement that it report more information on its groundwater use.
The exclusion prompted some criticism.
Many feel leaving the agricultural community out of the mandatory cutbacks puts the burden unfairly on cities, counties, and individuals.
According to the Public Policy Institute, about nine million acres of farmland in the state are irrigated, representing about 80% of water used by people.
Other water observers feel that some farmers continue to drill deeper to pump groundwater at a rate that is unsustainable.
The California Farm Bureau counters the criticism, pointing to the loses already suffered by the industry.
"Growers have suffered enough, having had their water allocations cut by 50, 80, and 100%," said bureau spokesman Dan Merkley.
Brown said farms in the state have already taken a big hit, with reduced water allocations and thousands of farm workers laid off.
Others are upset that Brown's orders do not require oil producers to cut usage or temporarily stop the water intensive practice of hydraulic fracturing.
According to a recent CNN report, it was estimated that the state's oil and gas industry uses more than two million gallons of fresh water a day to produce oil through well stimulation practices such as fracking, acidizing, and steam injection.
"Governor Brown is forcing ordinary Californians to shoulder the burden of the drought by cutting their personal water use, while giving the oil industry a continuing license to break the law and poison our water," said Zack Malitz of environmental group Credo.
With respect to the 25% reduction, Hillview Water Co. officials are optimistic that the company's 1,500 customers in Raymond, Coarsegold, and Oakhurst will respond positively to the conservation efforts.
Foster said that even though the company currently has no problems with water quantity, it doesn't mean there couldn't be issues in the future if the state-wide crises continues.
Hillview's Compliance Resource Officer Ralph Fairfield said the company is monitoring its wells and storage daily, and currently they are where they normally would be this time of year.
"We encourage all our customers to help us comply with the new mandate of 25% reduction in water use, and conserve water as much as they can," Foster said.
Hillview customers are currently under Stage 2 water conservation measures, which limit outside watering to two days a week (even numbered addresses Tuesday and Saturday - odd numbered addresses Wednesday and Sunday), before dawn or after dusk. No washing of vehicles, boats, trailers, RVs, or patios is permitted.
Foster said company employees visit neighborhoods every day to make sure customers are watering on the right day, and that there is no over-watering taking place. The company also monitors billing summaries that show the meter readings of household water usage.
Customers not in compliance with the new restrictions will receive a verbal warning, but if there is continued abuse of water consumption, citations and fines up to $500 a day can be imposed, as well as having the water shut-off to excessive abusers.
Since most water companies make money based on the amount of water used by their customers, the governor has approved utility companies can raise rates to offset customers' conservation efforts.
Fairfield said the company has recently added a few new customers due to wells going dry in the Mountain Area.
A portion of funds from the drought package will be used for the California Disaster Assistance Act, administered by the State Office of Emergency Services. According to Jill Yaeger, Madera County Deputy Director of Environmental Health, funds will soon be available to install large water storage tanks for property owners whose wells have gone dry. Currently there are about 70 Valley properties on the list to receive tanks at an estimated cost of $4,000 each. Installations are expected to begin within 60 days.
For details of the program, homeowners can call Yaegar at (559) 675-7823.
Another program in the works - by the State Water Board - is for homeowners with dry wells. This program provides funds for qualified applicants to hook-up to a water company system such as Hillview. This program, funded through Community Development Block Grants, will be administered through the county planning division. For details of this program, call Hillview Water Co. at (559) 683-4322.

Aaron Rodgers, Packers Beat Matthew Stafford, Rams; Odell Beckham Gets 1st TD with LA
Erin WalshNovember 29, 2021
Stacy Revere/Getty Images
The Green Bay Packers bounced back from a disappointing 34-31 loss to the Minnesota Vikings last weekend with a 36-28 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
It was an impressive win for the Packers, especially considering reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers has been dealing with what has been described as a painful toe injury. The Green and Gold improved to 9-3 on the season with Sunday's win to take a commanding lead in the NFC North.
Notable Stats
Aaron Rodgers, QB, GB: 28/45 for 307 YDS, 2 TD and 2 CAR for 0 YD, 1 TD
Matthew Stafford, QB, LAR: 21/38 for 302 YDS, 3 TD, 1 INT
Davante Adams, WR, GB: 8 REC for 104 YDS
Randall Cobb, WR, GB: 4 REC for 95 YDS, 1 TD
Cooper Kupp, WR, LAR: 7 REC for 96 YDS
AJ Dillon, RB, GB: 20 CAR for 69 YDS and 5 REC for 21 YDS, 1 TD
Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LAR: 5 REC for 81 YDS, 1 TD
Aaron Rodgers Continues to Play at High Level
Even though Rodgers has been dealing with a toe injury through the last couple of weeks, he has been pretty impressive. The 37-year-old threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns against the Rams on Sunday. It was his second consecutive game of more than 300 yards through the air.
Rodgers also continues to spread the wealth among his receivers. Davante Adams led the team with eight catches for 104 yards in the win, but Randall Cobb had four catches for 95 yards and a touchdown, while Marquez Valdes-Scantling also had four catches for 50 yards.

📺 FOX pic.twitter.com/sfLRAnVjmn
In addition, running back AJ Dillon was involved in the passing game, reeling in five passes for 21 yards and a touchdown.
This comes after two of Green Bay's receivers had more than 100 receiving yards in a loss to Minnesota last weekend, and two more had at least 40 receiving yards.
While Adams has been his top target, Rodgers has done a tremendous job using all of his options throughout the season. Entering Sunday's game, Green Bay had seven players with at least 200 receiving yards this year.
If Rodgers can continue to get all of his receivers involved moving forward, the Packers will have one of the most dangerous, dynamic receiving groups entering the final stretch of the regular season.
Rams' Rushing Offense Ineffective in Loss
The Rams aren't known for having one of the best rushing offenses in the league, but the team was largely ineffective on the ground against the Packers. Darrell Henderson Jr. and Sony Michel combined for just 69 yards on 19 carries in Sunday's loss.
Entering Sunday's matchup against the Packers, the Rams were ranked 24th in the NFL averaging 97.9 yards per game rushing and just 979 yards of total offense on the ground.
Henderson has been L.A.'s top running back this season, entering with 593 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in nine games. However, the Rams need to start getting more production out of Michel.
The 26-year-old was traded from the New England Patriots to the Rams in August and he has been largely ineffective. In 10 games entering Sunday's matchup, he had just 76 carries for 291 yards and one touchdown.
The 2021 campaign has been the least productive of Michel's career thus far. To put it into context, in his last season with the Patriots in 2020, Michel rushed for 449 yards in nine games.
However, it's important to note L.A.'s struggles on the ground aren't entirely Henderson and Michel's fault. The Rams lost their top running back, Cam Akers, to a season-ending Achilles injury during an offseason workout.
The 22-year-old, a former second-round pick, was expected to have a breakout year in 2021 after rushing for 625 yards and two scores as a rookie in 2020.
The Rams will host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 5, while the Packers will hit their bye week before hosting the Chicago Bears on Dec. 12.

Shocks and Rivalries in the Middle East and North Africa (Paperback)
Imad Mansour (editor), William R. Thompson (editor)
Awaiting publication
Shocks and Rivalries in the Middle East and North Africa is the first book to examine issue-driven antagonisms within groups of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) states and their impact on relations within the region. The volume also considers how shock events, such as internal revolts and regional wars, can alter interstate tensions and the trajectory of conflict. MENA has experienced more internal rivalries than any other region, making a detailed analysis vital to understanding the region's complex political, cultural, and economic history. The state groupings studied in this volume include Israel and Iran; Iran and Saudi Arabia; Iran and Turkey; Iran, Iraq, and Syria; Egypt and Saudi Arabia; and Algeria and Morocco. Essays are theoretically driven, breaking the MENA region down into a collection of systems that exemplify how state and nonstate actors interact around certain issues. Through this approach, contributors shed rare light on the origins, persistence, escalation, and resolution of MENA rivalries and trace significant patterns of regional change. Shocks and Rivalries in the Middle East and North Africa makes a major contribution to scholarship on MENA antagonisms. It not only addresses an understudied phenomenon in the international relations of the MENA region, it also expands our knowledge of rivalry dynamics in global politics.
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
This is an important book on a vital but understudied problem. Radin identifies the critical problem of local opposition to changes in political institutions, illustrates it with seven case studies, and shows how to avoid or reduce it while still moving forward. The book should be required reading for individuals and organizations involved in statebuilding. -- Roy Licklider , adjunct senior research scholar, Saltzman Institute for War and Peace Studies; adjunct professor of political science, Columbia University; and professor emeritus of political science, Rutgers University
In the MENA conflict-laden region, zooming in on inter-state rivalries is indeed required and welcome. Successfully marrying in-depth regional knowledge and comparative disciplinary rigor, this book's eleven contributors use more than 7 systematic MENA cases to analyze such rivalries and especially the impact of abrupt changes. The result is a dynamic analysis, both conceptually-driven and empirically-based, of a region plagued by static approaches. -- Bahgat Korany, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, American University in Cairo
A strong combination of theory and detailed case studies that deepens our understanding of shocks and rivalries in a region that we too often assume that we know more [about] than we do. -- Paul F. Diehl, Ashbel Smith Professor of Political Science, University of Texas at Dallas

4 Viking players – none of them offensive linemen – were named to the Pro Bowl
But will they actually play in the Pro Bowl?
Declan Goff
Harrison Smith, Xavier Rhodes, Cordarrelle Patterson and Everson Griffen of the Vikings were named to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday night. The voting was done by players, fans and coaches.
It's the second trip to the Pro Bowl for Griffen, Smith and Patterson; for Rhodes, it's the first time he has received the recognition.
Patterson was named to the event as a return specialist and he's the first Viking returner to be selected twice in franchise history.
With Rhodes being selected, he's the seventh player to be named to the Pro Bowl since Mike Zimmer took over as head coach in 2014.
The 2017 Pro Bowl will return to the traditional AFC vs. NFC format in Orlando, Florida at Camping World Stadium, a week before the Super Bowl. For the past three years, the game used an unconferenced, draft-style approach.
The Oakland Raiders led the way with seven selections this season.
