Fantasy Football 2016: New Faces in New Places
The NFL offseason is full of surprises. I take an in-depth look at some of the big name offensive players that will be playing for new organizations this season and discuss how it impacts their fantasy outlook.

Former Dolphins' RB Lamar Miller celebrates after scoring against his new team for 2016, the Houston Texans
With a boatload of meaningful free agent signings already in the books, the fantasy football landscape will undoubtedly be altered in 2016. While changes of scenery will enhance some players' fantasy values, others will be hindered with different roles and supporting cast. Yes, there are still a few notable players that have yet to decide on a fresh landing spot (Arian Foster and Colin Kaepernick among others), but most of the major moves have occurred by now. Let's take a look at some players on the offensive side of the ball that will be wearing new uniforms this season, as I highlight the fantasy football implications of several offseason acquisitions.
Lamar Miller (RB): Houston Texans
The Texans finally cut ties with the injury-prone Arian Foster, and were in need of a replacement workhorse. Interestingly enough, the man they got was never fully let off his leash by his former team, but certainly seemed capable of handling a larger workload. The ex-Dolphin speedster, Lamar Miller, was signed by the Texans on the same day they reeled in Brock Osweiler, completing what will be a new-look attack down in Houston. Lamar Miller is an elusive, durable, and effective overall running back that was underused in Miami, and I assume HC Bill O'Brien realizes that. Believe it or not, Lamar Miller finished last year as the sixth overall RB in standard leagues, so a major jump in production may not be certain. However, there is a chance that Miller explodes in 2016. His 194 carries were criminally low, especially when compared to AP's whopping 327 carries. Assuming Miller stays healthy and handles a full workload this season, I think his floor is a low-end RB1, while his ceiling is frightening. I'm thinking he has a chance to finish as a top 3 RB this year, especially since he's come so close to cracking the top 5, even with absurdly limited touches. I wouldn't pass him up in the early second round of your draft, regardless of scoring format, as he fits the mold of a dynamic pass-catcher as well.
Matt Forte (RB): New York Jets
Seemingly able to fit into any NFL system, Matt Forte had multiple landing spot possibilities this offseason. Ultimately, he followed his ex-Bears teammate Brandon Marshall to New York, where he'll be wearing green and white for the 2016 season. Forte is entering the dreaded 30 year old season for NFL running backs, but he was still averaging 4.0 yards per carry over the last two seasons combined, showing his effectiveness as of late. Still, he missed 3 games last year, after only missing 5 games during his first seven seasons. While I wouldn't classify him as an injury risk, his slightly declining performance paired with his recent bumps and bruises has me worried about durability in terms of a full season. With the Jets losing Chris Ivory and re-signing third down back Bilal Powell, Forte is expected to carry the load for the Jets. This means double digit carries every game with the chance of goal line work on a fast-paced Jets offense. His QB this season is still a mystery, but assuming the Jets can lock up Fitzmagic or another solid option, Forte should be able to provide safe RB2 fantasy numbers. And much like Ivory in 2015, if his workload remains heavy, he'll have a few RB1-worthy weeks in him. The main concern, again, is that his age and tread on the tires could result in deteriorating play down the stretch.
Demarco Murray (RB): Tennessee Titans
After being one the league's most dominant rushers in 2014, Murray flopped during his stay in Philly. He was repeatedly hit in the backfield, struggled to make people miss, and was outperformed by his backups. Some of this can be blamed on the system he was in, which clearly didn't utilize his downhill running style, but Murray himself deserves a decent amount of the blame. Regardless, he's a Tennessee Titan in 2016, and I actually have higher expectations than most. This Titans offense has a ton of young talent to build around, and getting a veteran RB like Demarco behind Marcus Mariota is a major upgrade from Antonio Andrews, who some desperate fantasy owners were forced to use at times last season. Murray may not be a top-tier RB1 like his days with Dallas, but I envision him getting 15-20 touches per game with definite goal line totes. With recent protection issues, it wouldn't surprise me if the Titans address their O-line in the draft for both Mariota and Murray's wellbeing... While many owners will shy away from him earlier in drafts due to his age and ineffectiveness last year, I see Demarco Murray as a safe RB2 while he's healthy. He's also bound to sprinkle in a few solid RB1 weeks, similar to Forte.
Chris Ivory (RB): Jacksonville Jaguars
One of the most intriguing signings of the offseason was Chris Ivory to the Jaguars. If the Jags didn't have a promising young runner in T.J. Yeldon, I would probably be ecstatic about the move, as I'm a big fan of Ivory's running style. He hits the hole hard and punishes defenders, but also has breakaway speed in the open field. He does usually experience a few minor injuries during the course of the NFL season, but when you consider his running style, Ivory is relatively sturdy. As it stands now, we're not sure just how the Jags will divvy up the carries out of the backfield, but something near a 50-50 split seems reasonable. I can see Ivory as the early down thumper, and someone who might get more carries as the game goes on. He can wear defenses out, and he'll probably get the first crack at goal line carries. Still, with Yeldon healthy and in the mix, I can't see either Jacksonville RB getting more than 10-15 touches per game, unless one catches fire. I'd prefer Ivory to Yeldon if I had to choose a side of the coin, but he's more of a flex or RB3 option that you take a stab at in the middle rounds of your draft. In reality, the Jags have a great backfield duo. In fantasy, we call that a headache.
Alfred Morris (RB): Dallas Cowboys
With the Cowboys' backfield a bit dry on depth, they were in line to beef up their committee either through free agency or the draft. While drafting a young running back in April certainly isn't a bad idea, and remains very possible, Dallas chose to go out and sign former Washington RB Alfred Morris to a 2-year contract. Although, by signing Morris, the Cowboys didn't exactly get a young, dynamic runner who is going to slide atop the depth chart right away. In fact, Jerry Jones says that McFadden, who is coming off a rejuvenated season in which he averaged 4.6 YPC with 1400+ scrimmage yards, will remain the team's starting running back. However, we know that DMC is anything but durable, regardless of his healthy 2015. Still, when I look at Morris and his recent decline, I'll admit I'm a bit worried. His 751 rushing yards, career low 3.7 YPC, and single TD on the year all have me a bit skeptical to say the least. Then there's this: Did you know that Alf actually has the most carries in the NFL over the past four seasons? If all goes well, I could see Alf and DMC in a relatively even timeshare, with Morris coming out on pretty much all passing downs. A preseason injury to McFadden would catapult Morris to the top spot by default, making him a great bounce-back candidate behind that offensive line and an RB2 at minimum. But at this stage, I'm taking the cautious approach on Morris in terms of fantasy production. While he should improve his YPC in Dallas, I would say he's no better than a dicey RB3 pick when draft season approaches.
Alfred Morris will wear No. 46

Marvin Jones (WR): Detroit Lions
The wide receivers in this year's free agency market were underwhelming in comparison to running backs, but Marvin Jones sits atop the rankings for the position. Jones has been nothing more than a #2 option beside A.J. Green in Cincinnati, but he was very effective in that role. He had over 800 yards last season but only hauled in 4 touchdowns, which was strange, since Jones caught 10 touchdowns back in 2013. Only 26 years old with plenty of talent, he'll now be heading to Detroit to do his best Calvin Johnson impersonation. While that might be not possible, Jones is expected to be the Lions' top wideout nonetheless. Across from Golden Tate, who best serves as a shifty second option, Marvin Jones should find himself catching a lot of balls from Matthew Stafford. He's shown that he can be a red zone threat, and Detroit is definitely expecting big things from him, but it will take more than one man to reproduce Megatron's impact. I see Jones as a solid WR3 from the get-go, with potential to be a WR2 if things go according to plan.
Travis Benjamin (WR): San Diego Chargers
One of the many players the Browns lost that they couldn't really afford to lose was WR Travis Benjamin. Playing an important role for Cleveland this past season, Benjamin racked up nearly 1000 yards on a pitiful offense while hauling in 5 touchdowns. With a much more competent signal-caller in Philip Rivers, he will be a much happier campier out in sunny San Diego. With Keenan Allen entrenched as the Bolts' top WR option, Benjamin will be looking to inch ahead of Stevie Johnson for the #2 spot. I believe he'll win the job, meaning that he'll see a steady amount of targets on a weekly basis. He's known to be a one-trick pony who wins with go-routes down the field, but Benjamin actually showed decent hands while catching 68 balls last year. With Rivers throwing to him, and Allen drawing coverage to his own side of the field, I can see Travis Benjamin putting up decent numbers in his first year with the Chargers. Whereas last season he was a risky boom-or-bust WR3, he looks to be a safe WR3 if he can definitively win the second receiver job for SD in 2016.
Rishard Matthews (WR): Tennessee Titans
On pace for 963 yards as the second receiving option in Miami, the 26 year old Rishard Matthews had himself a breakout season in 2015. While Miami was open to bringing him back for this year, the Titans ultimately sealed the deal and signed him to a 3-year deal that will pair him with talented wideouts Dorial Green-Beckham and Kendall Wright. In addition to the young WR corps in Tennessee, the Titans also has a stud TE in Delanie Walker. All of these weapons should be of great value to sophomore QB Marcus Mariota, who is coming off a promising rookie season himself. The reason I mention all of these offensive parts is because the newly acquired Matthews will have plenty of competition for targets, but he should settle in and have some decent fantasy value in 2016. He's more polished as an outside receiver than DGB (with much less upside, however), and Kendall Wright strictly mans the slot position. All in all, I think the Matthews signing was a wise move by the Titans in terms of developing their offense, but I don't think he comes to Tennessee and puts up overly impressive fantasy stats. Still, similar to the aforementioned wideouts above, I believe Rishard Matthews can maintain WR3 value this season. His odds of approaching WR2 territory are fairly slim, barring an injury or suspension to DGB, who Mariota built some nice chemistry with last season.
Chris Hogan (WR): New England Patriots
Let me start by saying the least notable name on my list of wide receivers has a legitimate chance to be the best of the bunch this season. In a sneaky move that could send WR Danny Amendola packing, the Patriots went and signed restricted free agent Chris Hogan, coming over from Rex Ryan's Bills. Hogan is a bigger receiver than his smooth gameplay shows, coming in at 6'1" with 4.5 wheels. He can play inside and outside, and will likely become New England's second wideout in 2016. He should be an ideal fit for New England's methodical short passing game, although he'll have Gronk, Bennett, Edelman, and a running back stable to compete with for targets. Still, the passing game in NE is voluminous enough for Hogan to have a breakout year. If Amendola is let go, I see Monmouth product Chris Hogan as a surefire WR3 to start the season simply based on his probable role in the Pats offense. Oh, and Tom Brady is his QB.
Martellus Bennett (TE): New England Patriots
One of the bigger offseason trades up to this point is the Patriots acquiring the oft-disgruntled Martellus Bennett, formerly of the Chicago Bears. Bennett is coming off a lost season, where he failed to eclipse 500 receiving yards in 11 healthy contests. He will be a prime bounce-back candidate this season in Foxboro with Tom Brady slinging him the ball in 2-TE sets. Opposite the mammoth that is Rob Gronkowski, Bennett will undoubtedly be playing a different role than in past seasons with Chicago. He'll be going from the obvious top tight end on his squad, to playing second-fiddle to Gronk in New England's complex offense. Still only 29 years of age, Marty B has definite fantasy appeal. Before Aaron Hernandez got drowned in legal issues, he was a fantasy force on the Patriots. While Bennett may not be the same player as he was, this is simply evidence that the Pats can provide two TE1s for fantasy purposes. I expect Bennett to be a lower-yardage, higher-efficiency option in 2016, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him being ranked inside the top 10 at his position for most weeks.
Ladarius Green (TE): Pittsburgh Steelers
The offseason tight end signing with the most upside in 2016 goes to the Steelers and Ladarius Green, who is coming over from San Diego to team up with Big Ben. Green, annually buried behind Antonio Gates on the depth chart, has shown brilliant flashes in his limited NFL starts. Now he has some big shoes to fill in Pittsburgh's dynamic offense, as longtime TE Heath Miller is heading into retirement. While he isn't the proven commodity that Heath was, Ladarius Green is actually a solid, all-around tight end. First used for his blocking abilities in SD, Green quickly showed tremendous athleticism as well, which shouldn't have been too surprising after the 6'6" frame ran a freakish 4.56 forty back in 2012 at the NFL combine. Now, he is the uncontested top tight end on Pittsburgh's depth chart, and he's stepping into a high-flying offensive attack for 2016. With Martavis Bryant getting hit with a 365-day suspension, there will certainly be targets to disperse on offense. In a shallow position, it wouldn't be crazy to immediately throw Green into your top 10 at the TE spot. In fact, I wouldn't be able to provide you with enough reasoning to doubt he has top 5 potential.
We have signed TE Ladarius Green to a four-year contract.

Coby Fleener (TE): New Orleans Saints
It's not often you feel the need to talk about Coby Fleener. Judging by his time in Indianapolis, he's an athletic, yet underwhelming, pass-catcher that was forced to split time with Dwayne Allen. Well, he'll now be moving on to New Orleans, where he'll catch passes from Drew Brees. Coming off a year where he failed to surpass 500 receiving yards and caught only 3 touchdowns, there doesn't seem like much to be excited about. Yet, there are plenty of reasons that Fleener could be a reliable fantasy option in 2016. First off, an aging veteran like Benjamin Watson was able to have a fluky, but extremely effective 2015 season, a year in which he celebrated his 35th birthday. While Watson figures to fall down the rankings this year in Baltimore, his old spot on the depth chart is Fleener's for the taking. As Drew Brees' top TE, he will undoubtedly improve upon last year's dismal stats, and he is only two seasons removed from racking up nearly 800 yards and 8 touchdowns. I think Fleener will settle in as a low-end TE1 during fantasy draft season.
Make sure to check out my early bird rankings article from a while back, and head over to Fantasy Galaxy for the updated rankings with more depth. I'll be constructing some updated rankings early into the month of April, so stay tuned. Also, feel free to drop a comment below. That's it for now.

FC Bistrița was a Romanian football team from Bistrița, founded in 2013 and dissolved in 2017.

History
After founding, the club entered in the Liga V Bistrița-Năsăud County and after one season they won it and promoted to Liga IV Bistrița-Năsăud County. After only two seasons at this level, FC Bistrița won the championship and qualified for the 2015–16 Liga IV promotion play-off, where after a highly disputed double against Suceava County champion, they managed to promote to Liga III.

In Liga III the club encountered serious financial problems, and shortly after the start of the second part of the championship it withdrew and then was dissolved.

Stadium

At the beginning the club played its home matches on IPROEB Stadium, in Bistrița. After the dissolution of Gloria Bistrița in 2015, they moved on Jean Pădureanu Stadium and shared the stadium with Academia Gloria, one of the successors of the old club, until 2017 when FC Bistrița was dissolved.

Seriously? Nigel Sykes tried to rob the Seasons Pizza restaurant in Newport, Delaware at gunpoint.
However, it seems that Sykes is a poor armed robber and was tackled by workers at the restaurant who then gave him a sound beating, took his gun and held him until police arrived.
He says he then started to make his way forward in the store when a different employee grabbed him from behind and other employees wrestled the gun from him, with at least one shot being fired during the struggle.
"That is when the assault began," according to Sykes' suit. "All of the Season's Pizza employees participated in punching, kicking and pouring hot soup over my body. I was unarmed and defenseless and had to suffer a brutal beating by all of the employees of Seasons Pizza," he wrote, adding the beating knocked him unconscious.
Sykes made sure to spread the love around in the lawsuit. He is seeking $20,000 each from six Seasons employees, $20,000 from each of the two arresting officers and $100,000 from Seasons.
Hopefully this one is quickly dismissed by a judge.

Introducing the Donna Hourani x Gemfields 'The Bridge' collection
December 14, 2022 uaenews247 Leave a comment
DUBAI, 14 DECEMBER 2022
The Donna Hourani x Gemfields 'The Bridge' collection is an exciting new collaboration designed to showcase the power and serenity of emeralds. Lebanese-born fine jewellery designer Hourani launched her eponymous label in Dubai in 2016, inspired by her lifelong fascination with emeralds, something she shares with others with discerning taste: from Cleopatra and Moses to the Indian Mughal emperors.
The Bridge collection is a testament to this love affair: it uses fine Zambian emeralds, all from Gemfields, a world-leading miner of responsibly sourced coloured gemstones and the majority owner of the Kagem mine in Zambia. Gemfields mines coloured gemstones with transparency, legitimacy and integrity as its core principles, leading the way in the industry and making the group a perfect fit for Hourani, who has always been passionate about responsible sourcing.
The Bridge collection's name was inspired by one of Hourani's favourite mantras, the quote by Rumi: "Love is the bridge between you and everything." Fittingly, pure emerald-green is the colour of the heart chakra. Each of the 11 pieces in The Bridge collection features a Zambian emerald between a lab-grown diamond (which represents the wearer) and another coloured gemstone (which represents a specific achievement) – the emerald serving as a bridge of love between one's true self and goals in life (such as self-love, womanhood and connection with the universe). These pieces are intended to serve as a reminder that "love is the bridge between you and everything".
Among the highlights of the collection are the kaleidoscopic "To Glory" bracelet, with Zambian emeralds sitting alongside a lively mix of diamond, peridot, tourmaline, opal, turquoise, amethyst, tanzanite and blue topaz. Simpler is the "To Passion" necklace, with emerald bridging fire opal, citrine and diamond. The "To Creativity" dangle drop mismatching earrings boast a beguiling sequence of emerald, iolite and diamond. The "To The Universe" ring cleverly expresses the idea that "the universe is inside you", with its diamond representing the wearer, its opal representing the universe and the spiral of emeralds forming the connection between the two. All are set in 18k yellow gold. "To Peace", "To Divinity", "To Self-Love" and "To Womanhood" are a few of the others, each one using coloured gemstones to inspire the wearer to a higher purpose.
"This collection is an inspired feast for the eyes, and a true testament to Donna's exacting creative flair. Each piece is so cleverly thought through, delighting both in meaning and the pleasing arrangement of colour. After half a billion years in darkness, patiently awaiting discovery, it is a joy to see Gemfields' Zambian emeralds celebrated in these kaleidoscopic creations, promising a bridge of love to their future wearer." Emily Dungey, Gemfields director of marketing and communications.
Hourani's upbeat designs are informed by her appreciation of the simple joys in life, like nature and pure love. She believes that emerald is the gemstone that allows the wearer to operate from the heart level, representing unconditional love and self-compassion and harmony with nature. Thus, emerald is perfectly cast as the "Hero" gemstone of this collection.
The Donna Hourani x Gemfields 'The Bridge' Collection ranges from USD 3,800 for the "To Beauty" earrings to USD 16,800 for the "To Glory" bracelet and is available on: donnahourani.com

Q: Why do we need to take the transpose of the data for PCA? I have the following dataset: we measured the temperature 1000 times in 9 different stations across the country. The data are represented in a matrix with 9 rows and 1000 columns. I wrote my own implementation of PCA and I have to reduce the dimensionality to 3. I did it and it works but I do not understand some things.
First of all some terminology. On wikipedia I read that the terms variable and observation are usually used. In my case, the observations would be the values of temperature and the variables the 9 stations?
Why do I have to take the transpose of the matrix, obtaining a $1000\times 9$ matrix, before doing the PCA?
Basically what I need to do is to try to keep the information of the original dataset by just using the temperature values of $3$ out of $9$ stations?

A: We do not need to.
It is a common and long-standing convention in statistics that data matrices have observations in rows and variables in columns. In your case, you indeed have $1000$ observations of $9$ variables. So it would be standard to organize your data in a matrix of $1000\times 9$ size. Most standard PCA implementations will expect to get such an input.
For example, pca() function in Matlab says this on its help page:

coeff = pca(X) returns the principal component coefficients, also known as loadings, for the $n$-by-$p$ data matrix X. Rows of X correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables. The coefficient matrix is $p$-by-$p$.

But if you write your own code for PCA, you are free to follow an opposite convention and store variables in rows. I often did it myself this way.

Chris Froome: I'd be happy going into the time trial with the gaps we have now
Chris Froome stood firm in the Alps to extend his Tour de France race lead following a showdown on stage 17.
The Brit forced his way into third place across the line in Serre-Chevalier, finishing among an elite group of GC favourites after breaking clear over the top of the famed Col du Galibier.
Froome looked good on the Tour's highest summit, following multiple accelerations from rival Romain Bardet (Ag2r-La Mondiale), and distancing closest rival Fabio Aru (Astana).
"I expected it was going to be a bit of a shadow chasing match between the main GC guys and that was my mentality going over the climb today, just to follow the other guys", said Froome. "Not necessarily doing too much with tomorrow in mind but it's interesting to see this late in the game some guys struggling out there. Fabio Aru was the most noticeable GC contender who lost a bit of time today. Let's see. Tomorrow is the last hard, hard stage, a mountain top finish on the Col d'Izoard. It's still all to race for.
"I didn't expect Fabio Aru to lose time today. That was probably the surprise of the day, but again I have to thank my team-mates. They emptied themselves today, each and every one of them to make sure I was safe until the final and I'm really, really happy with how the day panned out.
"Izoard is the last big mountain stage for us in this year's Tour de France but the time trial is certainly something I'm looking forward to on Saturday. It's something I've worked really hard at before coming to this year's Tour de France. I've been up to Marseille and looked at the route already and I think it is a good route for me. I'd be happy going into that time trial with the gaps we have now."

BASQUIAT, BRANCUSI AND DOIG: GUARANTEED SUCCESS IN NEW YORK
In May and November each year, New York becomes the stage for the auction market's biggest act; the Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary art sales. These are by far the biggest sales of the year; the two seasons combined can go on to represent about a third of the annual turnover for the major auction houses. When the global art market hit its peak in May 2015, these sales made well over $2.5 billion in a week – a staggering total.
An auction can be a goldmine for market information with estimates, bidding and prices all becoming very publicly available and providing insight into market trends, the health of certain sectors, and the appetite for works by certain artists. It's perhaps unsurprising that the size and importance of the New York sales result in them attracting the most attention, from collectors, the industry, the media and the wider public. The appearance of the most valuable and celebrated works of art often make these the most prominent weeks in the media too, generating headlines for the $100 million masterpieces that sell for record prices, and a continual commentary on what the results might mean when considered in the context of the general economy. A big week of sales in New York can send a very loud and positive message to potential clients, and to the public around the world, that the art market is in rude health. On the other hand, a major work of art failing to sell could cause panic within the ranks.
As a result of the high stakes, these auctions have evolved over the past few years into what are essentially carefully choreographed displays of expensive art changing hands. In the months before the auctions, there is fierce competition between the houses to consign the most valuable works available on the market and build the best sale, which can often present amazing opportunities for vendors, but can also push estimates higher. It can also lead to sales with a large proportion of guaranteed works, where the auction house assures the vendor an agreed price, whatever the result at auction. That risk can then be passed onto a third party, who can effectively buy a work privately before the auction and, if they are outbid at the sale, can be rewarded with a share of the upside. In these high-stakes auctions, there are more methods than ever to guarantee success.
Looking at the headline results of the sales this week, one would be inclined to celebrate a market in rude health; the three Post-War and Contemporary Art evening auctions (at Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips) offered 158 works of art, and sold all but five: a 97% sell through rate across the houses. Christie's sold over $400 million in what appears to have been a potentially profitable evening. Sotheby's sold a work by Jean-Michel Basquiat to a Japanese collector for a staggering $110.5 million – a record for any work by an American artist, and a headline-generator around the world. Phillips auction was 100% sold and recorded a record price for Peter Doig, making him the most valuable living British artist at auction. The auctions throughout the week totalled about $1.5 billion – a steady increase on the sales this time last year, and those in November 2016. But on the flip side, the totals are over $1 billion less than the high point two years ago. The Impressionist and Modern art evening sales saw big prices for the most modern works, but had overall sold percentages nearer 75%. At the Post-War and Contemporary evening sales, more than half the lots at Phillips were guaranteed, as well as over half the value of the auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's. Those auctions at Christie's and Phillips were rather dull, despite apparent success on paper. And Phillips had withdrawn three works just before the start of their auction, including a Richter with an estimate of $15 to 20 million, presumably through a lack of interest. Christie's also withdrew a big lot at the last minute with a Willem de Kooning estimated at $20 to 25 million, and Sotheby's did the same at their Impressionist and Modern Evening sale on Tuesday, withdrawing an Egon Schiele painting estimated at $30 million to $40 million. Who knows – these are works which had they unsold, could have been the sneeze before a cold.
The headlines might focus on the top end and the evening sales, where the stakes for success are so high and the mechanisms to achieve it increasingly complex, but for a more telling test, it's better to look at more affordable areas of the market. Here we were encouraged by the level of activity and results; Sotheby's had a less valuable evening sale than Christie's, but a greater number of lots in the $1 million to $5 million, where we saw moments of real activity and excitement. Bonham's, who are rarely mentioned during these weeks, continued their impressive form of date with a Contemporary sale that offered few works over $1 million but saw works with sensible estimates return notable results. The day sales at Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips all returned reassuringly good results, at a level with a far larger audience much more representative of the general market. Perhaps the most telling result was one of the last of the week, as Sotheby's sold 111 unique ceramics and works on paper by Pablo Picasso. Offered from the collection of his granddaughter, Marina Picasso, and presented with temptingly low estimates (from $5,000 to $120,000), every object sold for a total of $10.3 million, more than doubling expectations and reminding us of the excitement at auction when the art is great and the price is right.

What Were the Hottest Pop Culture Trends of the Roaring 20s
The 1920s decade is often known as the Roaring Twenties and is usually remembered for the many eccentricities and trends that Americans followed at that time. The pop culture of this decade was exuberant, defiant, and boisterous. This was at least partly because of the upward turn in the American economy after the end of World War I. While Prohibition was still in effect then, many people openly defied it and indulged in new ways of dressing, dancing, and entertaining themselves as well.
This decade is also known for the rejection of conventional moral standards and many other societal changes. The book 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is held up as an encompassing symbol of this decade, with the author also defining this time as 'The Jazz Age'.
Along with jazz, several other pop culture trends define the 20s decade. These later had an influence on the pop culture trends of the 60s as well as other decades. Let's have a look at some of them now. Meanwhile, if you love playing online casino games, make sure to play on the best au online casino sites.
1. Art Deco
Art deco was the favored kind of architectural style in the Roaring Twenties, and represented this decade quite accurately. This style is somewhat glamorous, exuding optimism and luxury. Some fine examples of this style can be found in the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building. The effect of Art Deco is modern but also timeless, since it retained the stately look of traditional styles.
2. Flappers
One of the most iconic images representing the Roaring Twenties is that of the flapper. These were women with short, bobbed hair, loose drop-waisted dresses, a somewhat thin figure, and flashy jewelry. Their dresses would usually have shorter hemlines than was traditionally acceptable before that time, while their makeup included pluming up their lips and drawing pencil-thin eyebrow lines.
Clara Bow is one good example of a flapper-style starlet. It wasn't just about the physical appearance of the flappers either, but the way they defied norms for females by smoking, dancing, and drinking in public. They also represented a more liberal mindset when it came to sexual relations. Overall, such women presented a scandalous rebuff to polite society as well as the elder generations.
Music is an undeniable part of pop culture in any decade; people still remember the music trends of the 80s and try to copy them. In the 1920s and 30s within the United States, jazz music was rapidly becoming more and more popular. The ratio of radio ownership was rising all over the country, which meant that the younger generation was listening to the New Orleans beats very easily.
In the 20s, jazz represented a new hybrid style of music that combined Creole, ragtime, and blues music. This mixture meant a way to go against the traditional forms of music, which was the main trend of this era. This is partly why the 20s are so aptly described as the Jazz Age. Now, jazz is regarded as the classical musical style of America.
4. Precisionism
The art aspect of pop culture in the Roaring Twenties was mainly represented y Precisionism, which used geometric shapes and the smooth application of paint. Artists during this era were mostly inspired by the unique landscape of America, with the names of Charles Demuth and Charles Sheeler rising to the top. these artists showed machinery, infrastructure, and new buildings in their works. These structures eventually came to define the country.
At the same time, artists like Georgia O'Keefe used nature, natural landscapes, and similar ideas for their inspiration. They used a simple yet elegant form that is still quite enchanting today. In fact, the Precisionism movement was the first artistic movement to emerge from America. It was also the base for future movements, such as the modernist trend.
5. Suffrage
While women were breaking out and rebelling in terms of their dress and their actions, the Roaring Twenties was also the first one where American women could finally vote. The Nineteenth Amendment was passed in 1920 and set the stage for several years of social change.
From there on, the suffrage movement also included struggling for more rights for women. These included reproductive rights, Their fight wasn't over yet, as suffragists like Alice Paul knew all too well. There was still discrimination against women in the workplace, with unequal pay still being one of the most hotly contested topics.
6. The Harlem Renaissance
Several million African Americans migrated within the United States in the 1920s. They moved from the southern states to northern America, mainly in search of better economic opportunities. As a result, new communities came to life, with the Harlem Resistance being an all-encompassing factor.
The Harlem Resistance was known as a social, artistic, intellectual, and political movement all rolled into one. It produced some of the most well-known works of music, literature, and art in that decade. The movement was named after the neighborhood of Harlem in New York City, which is where many African Americans came to settle. The creativity from this area would soon spread throughout the whole country. Iconic artists in this cultural aspect include Augusta Savage, James Van Der Zee, and Langston Hughes. Their work was a creative expression celebrating their identities and is still an inspiration for artists almost a century later.
7. Prohibition
As mentioned above, the 1920s was still in the time of Prohibition. this meant that the constitution banned any production, transportation, sale, and even importation of any alcoholic beverages in the country. This did cause drinking rates to forcibly go down, but also meant a rise in the black market for such commodities. Speakeasies and bootlegging were a part of life for many people in the 1920s, all as part of the rebellion felt against the Eighteenth Amendment.
8. Cinema
"The Great Train Robbery" was the first-ever movie with a story sequence to achieve the big screen. This was screened in movie theaters called 'nickelodeons', since the admission was just five cents. With this start, the 1920s became the decade when the American movie industry started growing very rapidly.
In Southern California, Hollywood rose as the movie capital of the whole world, mainly due to its long daylight hours. While the earliest films didn't have any censorship code, the public outrage soon led to the screen magnates establishing one in 1927. Color films also began coming out in this era, making the popularity of movies grow even further.
The pop culture trends above were what made the 1920s into the Roaring Twenties. People were optimistic, rebellious, and keen to try out new things. However, there were some lows in that decade as well, which culminated in the huge stock market crash in 1929. The problems of the 20s are not to be ignored, though the culture from that time is colorful and fascinating. By look at both the highs and the lows, we may learn a lot from the trends of this decade. It's also worth looking at the pop culture trends of the 50s and seeing how they present a stark contrast to the Roaring Twenties culture.

Sexlegetøj er et objekt eller en produkt, der primært benyttes til at fremme seksuel nydelse, såsom en dildo eller en vibrator.

Historie
Sexlegetøj kan dateres tilbage til det gamle Grækenland. Her har man fundet dildoer lavet af sten. Dette er det ældst daterede sexlegetøj. Det er dog ikke utænkeligt at man tidligere har benyttet remedier til at fremme sexlivet. I det 1700 århundrede opfandt man en mere virkelighedstro kopi af det mandlige lem. Kopien blev lavet i elfenben og kunne fyldes med olie for derved at imitere en ejakulation.

Den første vibrator kom dog først i 1905, efter at Charles F. Splitdorf havde fået patent på idéen i 1904, da det endelig gik op for sexlegetøjs-industrien, der voksede stødt i denne periode, at vibrerende stimuli forøgede nydelsen.

De første sexshops med salg af sexlegetøj kom til Danmark i starten af 1970'erne hvor sexindustrien blev mere legal i Danmark. Den ældste stadigt eksisterende sexshop i Danmark, Tys Tys, ligger i Aarhus.

Typer af sexlegetøj

Vibrator
Herunder, bullet-vibratorer, samt den meget kendte Hitachi massage-stav.

Dildo
Herunder vibratorer.

Analt legetøj
Herunder butt-plugs, anal-beads etc.

Bækkenbundskugle
To kugler, der indsættes i skeden for at træne og stimulere musklerne indvændigt.

Fleshlight
Et produkt, lignende en lommelygte, herfra navnet "flashlight" fra engelsk, hvori manden kan indsætte penis, som simulerer følelsen af indersiden af en vagina, anus eller mund. Kaldes også pocket-pussy eller et onani-sleeve.

Thailand aims to send 100,000 workers overseas in 2020 for skill building
"The Asia Recruitment Award is the oscars of the recruitment industry. A display of the best of the best!"
Start your entries preparation early.
Open to both in-house recruitment & talent acquisition teams and recruitment solution providers.
Yesterday, Thailand's Minister of Labour Chatumongol Sonakul urged the Thai Office of Labour Abroad to focus on five key areas in handling Thai workers overseas.
These include protecting Thai labour abroad to ensure they receive all benefits in accordance with the their employment contract; developing the potential of these workers abroad to have knowledge, skills, and acquiring of technology; creating a good quality of life for them, and more.
He added that in 2020, the ministry aims to send 100,000 Thai workers overseas, especially to countries with high potential, to give these workers a chance to develop their skills. In turn, they can then bring these skills and knowledge back to develop and enhance Thailand's labour potential.
The top four countries he stated are Taiwan, the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Israel.
Minister Chatumongol also stressed the importance of continuous self-development among Thais to keep up with changing trends and technology. At the same time, they must also set clear goals and outcomes in any projects to be implemented, in order to achieve concrete results and success, he said.

The Young Inspire Us or Do They?
March for Our Lives at Washington DC. Photo from Michael Moore's Facebook page.
Hundreds of thousands of people in all 50 states of the USA marched against gun violence on Saturday. In DC alone, the turnout is estimated at over 800 000. Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore estimated at least one million people in his comment on this photo from his Facebook page. The protesters waved signs, chanted slogans, and pleaded with people to register to vote. With remarkable political maturity, the teenage Parkland shooting survivors not only spoke with astounding eloquence but also shared their stage with victims of gun violence from marginalized communities. They are building a broad coalition around a vital cause at a time when political partisanship is rife.
Such a show of nationwide solidarity has become even more difficult, if not impossible, in Singapore. As journalist KIrsten Han commented on FB, "Under the new public order bill that was just passed last week in Singapore, this kind of large-scale traffic-disrupting protest could be considered a "serious incident", and the police given special powers to detain, search, demand information, seize and use force that is "reasonably necessary", including lethal weapons, to disperse the group. And there could be a communications stop order to ban transmission or creation of photos, video, text or audio messages." Although the government has said that they will use their new powers sparingly and that the bill is not directed at peaceful protest, "none of these assurances are actually in the Bill itself, and so would just be dependent on what the authorities do at the time," Han pointed out.
Because of its tough laws, Singapore is fortunate not to suffer from the gun violence that plagues the USA. Singaporeans do not have to take to the streets to demand anti-gun action from their elected representatives. There are other issues, however, about which the Singapore government has remained intransigent, for instance, growing economic disparities in the country, LGBT equality, migrant rights, and an official investigation into the truth of the political detentions under Operation Cold Store and Operation Spectrum. Under the new Public Order and Safety (Special Powers) Act, Singaporeans must be afraid that any peaceful demonstration for these and other causes may be put down by the authorities. Singapore will not have its equivalents of Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg, the Parkland student activists, because Singaporean youths have been disciplined to keep their heads down and toe the line. The damage, not just to the country's political culture, but also to social cohesion and creative innovation, is immense.
The March for Our Lives Movement touches me personally. I am a teacher and a gay man, and so the horrific shootings in schools and the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida, have shaken me deeply. For some years now my school has been practicing locked-down and active-shooter drills. On Saturday I joined thousands of people in New York City to march against gun violence, carrying a placard that said, "Teachers Against Guns" on one side and "Gays Against Guns" on the other. I am thankful that in NYC I do not have to choose between being gay and being a teacher, but I can demonstrate both sides of my identity in the public eye. I cannot help remembering, however, that the same freedom is not given to gay teachers in Singapore, who have to hide their sexual orientation in order to continue in the Education Service. It is a heavy price to exact on the people who do so much for our young, all because of homophobia.

Next Gen Talent 2017: Nollywood's Up and Coming Actors
27 Sep 2017 28 Sep 2017 by The Editor, posted in Feature, News
Two millennial stars — Ifu Ennada and Martha Orhiere — reveal "what's Nollywood" about their lives, embarrassing auditions, and their best Nollywood movies.
Ifu Ennada
"Ifu is the future," wrote preeminent movie critic, Yemi Oladeinde, on his score sheet after watching emerging Nollywood actress, Ifu Ennada, interpret delightfully the role of Amara in the award-winning movie by C.J. Obasi, O'Town. Ifu, also played the lead on Ebony Life TV's mini-series, HM Travels & Tours, as the utterly ignorant and delusional travel agent (Mfon).
For this young star, it's all or nothing. Check out five things you didn't know about her
Past movie you'd love to star in: Any movie that has fascinated you and you wish you had the opportunity to feature: The Wedding Party! Outside of Nollywood, I have several favourites, but I'll go with 12 Years A Slave.
The Most Nollywood thing about my life – Extremely active on Social Media
What made you want to act: I was looking for a new challenge. Something to help me escape my job as a TV producer which wasn't challenging anymore, I fell in love with the first character I ever played, a lead role in Emerald TV drama series. I loved how it was a huge opposite from my reality and how I was able to be that person – a streetwise call girl called Tina. It made me want to portray more characters and bring to life stories that allow me to be different people and live different lives!
Nollywood pet peeve: The stereotype that all actresses are "hustlers"
Worst audition: One time, when I walked into an audition room and for some weird reason I lost all the emotions I was supposed to express while doing my monologue. It was a total disaster and it reflected on my face. I came out with a fake smile trying to convince myself that I still had the smallest atom of acting talent and skill in me.
Martha Orhiere
This theatre arts graduate from the University of Ibadan is witty and ready to take on Nollywood.
Far from being a newbie, she's featured in several productions including, Kakadu the musical @ The Mandela Joburg Theatre; Princess Ruka and the Bachelor of Kings; she also featured in the TV show, Family First and she was so impressive. Read our chat with her below.
Past movie you'd love to star in: Any movie that has fascinated you and you wish you had the opportunity to feature – It would have to be 'Isoken'. I love what they did with it; telling a simple story so beautifully. It was perfect in my eyes.
The most Nollywood thing about my life – That would be me relocating to Lagos to pursue my dreams.
What made you want to act – Two things really? As a child, I recall sneaking downstairs at midnight with my sister to hide and watch the movies my older aunties and siblings borrowed from the video club. Plus, I've always been fascinated by the mirror. I would stare into the mirror every opportunity I got and act out the characters that fascinated me on TV when I was alone. When I was 12, I became convinced it was what I wanted to do with my life.
Nollywood pet peeve: Definitely, would be the audience being played for fools; inaccurate statements said like they were factual, unrealistic writings; and of course, older people playing school boys/girls.
Worst audition: That would be an audition I went for pretty recently, I had two auditions that day but I decided to go for that one first since it was closer. On getting there, after being needlessly delayed, we were grouped and given some forms for, wait for it… Eko Got Talent audition, I'd never even heard of it before that day. Turns out it wasn't even an audition as such, the worst part was not being able to make it to the other audition venue because of the infamous Lagos traffic. I just couldn't shake off the feeling that something good would have come of it.

Premier County Physiotherapy based in Thurles & Templemore are the only clinic's in Tipperary offering Shockwave to its patients. Chartered Physiotherapists Therese Ryan, Emma Callanan, Eibhlis Cooney and Joanne Shanahan are now fully trained to administer this highly innovative, dynamic and forward thinking treatment. The results of Shockwave are evidence based and groundbreaking in the field of injury rehabilitation. Here are some recent testimonials from Patients in both clinics.
So What Is Shockwave? Shockwave has been defined as a significant breakthrough in pain management. It is a proven technology with clinical studies reliably reporting a success rate above 75% in many chronic pain cases.
Shockwave sends pulses into the body which are generated by compressed air causing acoustic energy to illicit the desired effect within the body.


When a tornado passes through a town, the results are usually devastating. But in this "twisted tornado tale," the opposite happens. Thanks to a little girl named Miss Jane, who wished on a star for her town's safety, the aftermath of a tornado is more than confounding. The twister bales all the hay in tall, neat stacks. . . plows a perfect field for farmer Grady O'Brady. . .It even folds the clothes on Aunt Beulah's clothesline!
As they did in their first book, Brewster, the Rain Makin' Rooster, the Ross brothers have blended whimsical, vibrant art with clever, catchy verse that is guaranteed to delight young readers. Age doesn't matter, however, when it comes to chuckles. The hilarious scenarios and clever rhymes will entertain readers of all ages. As Tim puts it, Twinkle Twinkle Little Twister has "a rip-roaring beginning, a mighty mangled and mystifying middle, and a high-flying, happy ending." Both of the Ross brothers' books end with a page full of interesting, little-known weather facts.
Tim Ross has been a "TV WeatherGuy" for more than twenty years, most recently in Nashville, Tennessee. He and his illustrator brother, Scott Ross, have teamed up to create another fun rhyming book on the subject of weather.

Я так понимаю возникает она при попытке создать диалог, когда activity не существует. И подозреваю что причина именно в том как я вызываю этот диалог.
В методе onCreate имеется Handler, который в определенном случае показывает диалог, вот так showDialog(IDD_CONGRADS);
@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.stepgallery6);

        h = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()) {

            public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
                // обновляем Кнопки
                switch (msg.what) {
                case 40:
                        if (Arrays.equals(compArray, compButtonArray)) {
                            //
                            runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { showDialog(IDD_CONGRADS); } });
                        }
                        else {
                            runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { showDialog(IDD_NOCONGRADS); } });
                        }

                        break;
                    case 60:
                        GoAct(1);
                        break;

{

}

Влияние на Handler происходит вот так:
@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            for (int i = 1; i <= 40; i++) {

                try {
                 TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
                 } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
                }
                h.sendEmptyMessage(i);
        }}
    });
    t.start();

}

А функция по вызову выглядит вот так:
// Вызывает диалог по окончанию
    @Override
    protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
        switch (id) {
            case IDD_CONGRADS:
                //AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
                AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(StepGallery6.this);
                builder.setMessage(R.string.congrats1)
                        .setCancelable(false)
                        .setPositiveButton(R.string.next,
                                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                                        GoAct(2);
                                    }
                                })
                        .setNeutralButton(R.string.back_to_menu,
                                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                                        GoAct(1);
                                    }
                                });
                return builder.create();
            case IDD_NOCONGRADS:
                AlertDialog.Builder builder2 = new AlertDialog.Builder(StepGallery6.this);
                builder2.setMessage(R.string.nocongrats)
                        .setCancelable(false)
                        .setPositiveButton(R.string.again,
                                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                                        GoAct(3);
                                    }
                                })
                        .setNeutralButton(R.string.back_to_menu,
                                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                                        GoAct(1);
                                    }
                                });
                return builder2.create();
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

И мне кажется что именно в ней вся соль. Упущена какая то деталь.
Подскажите пожалуйста те кто сталкивался.

A: Возможно, Handler создаётся не в том потоке.
Попробуйте при создании запрашивать основной трэд.
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());

A: Возможно, ошибка в том, что попытка отображения диалога происходит не между вызовами onResume и onPause. Убедитесь, что диалог не запускается после onPause или до onResume.


If you go to Votes tab it shows (9,976,233) Questions which is lesser than the count that is shown by active tab (10,421,421). In both the occasions filter is selected as All. This can't be due to caching since theres a huge difference. Is there another logic in showing this number?
