NBA Daily: Postseason Storylines to Watch
Basketball Insiders covers some of the key playoff storylines and matchups as we get set for the beginning of the postseason.
We did it, everyone. We collectively made it through the 2017-18 regular season. There were some surprises and some expected outcomes. One theme stayed present this season as the seasons that came before it; the NBA is poetic chaos.
So, that brings us to the playoffs. A new season within the season, as coaches and players around the league like to refer to it.
After the All-Star break, each conference experienced tight playoff races. In the East, most of the teams battled for position, while the field of eight was generally decided for the better part of the last month. Out West, however, the last playoff spot wasn't able to be decided even in the final regulated minutes of the season. The Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves needed overtime to decide who would face Houston in the first round.
Better luck next year to Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
That leaves 16 teams and still a league's worth of fans. Whether your squad made it to the great tournament or not, there's still value in the entertainment that's about to ensue.
Even further, you can spice up your watching experience by tossing some of your hard earned money into the equation and hope you come out with more than you wagered on the other side.
Whether you want to bet on the Timberwolves to upset the Rockets in Game 1, or the chances that Ben Simmons records a triple-double in his first playoff game, the team over at MyTopSportsBooks can break down your odds at winning some money while also enjoying the engineered chaos we've established above.
But if you're not the betting type, and still want to join in on the postseason fun regardless, let's outline some of the hot topics heading into this weekend and beyond.
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Portland Trail Blazers
The Brow is back in the playoffs.
After the Pels lost DeMarcus Cousins to a torn Achilles, Anthony Davis played his best rendition of the league's MVP and carried a team many thought was dead in the water when they lost their second All-Star.
This 3-seed vs. 6-seed matchup has a punch packed to it that we aren't necessarily used to seeing. In fact, most of the middle standing West matchups do. The difference in games won between 3-seed Portland and 8-seed Minnesota is two.
With Damian Lillard also competing at an MVP-caliber level and the sharpshooting of C.J. McCollum, the Blazers will be a tough team to stop four times in seven games, especially for the defensively challenged Pelicans.
But when you get a series that features two of the league's top-five MVP candidates, that's must-see television.
San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors
Normally, a first round Golden State series would be an easy pick for a clean sweep given their run of dominance over the last four years.
But if we've learned anything about this season, it's that nothing is normal.
Here we get the Spurs as a 7-seed with a win total they haven't been accustomed to since Independence Day was dominating the box office. For the first time since 1996-97, the Spurs failed to win 50 games.
So, why would they be a threat to the Warriors?
Well, for one, they managed 47 victories with Kawhi Leonard suiting up for just nine games this season. Oh, and they have Gregg Popovich, arguably the best coach in basketball history. They're not walking into this matchup thinking it's already over.
Over in the Bay Area, the defending champs are without their unanimous MVP for the entire first round. Steph Curry is still sidelined with a sprained MCL, and while the Warriors still have the likes of Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, their offensive efficiency takes a noticeable dip when their chef isn't in the kitchen.
I'm not predicting that the Spurs are going to pull the upset none of us saw coming at the beginning of the season, but this series is going to be more of a grind than anyone previously anticipated.
Miami HEAT vs. Philadelphia 76ers
The Process is finally looking for results.
A 52-win season sends the Philadelphia 76ers into a first round matchup with the Miami HEAT. On the back of 16 straight wins, the Sixers are must-watch basketball. But, they're without their All-Star big man Joel Embiid, who is still recovering from a fractured eye socket, for the first game.
That means the battle between Embiid and Miami center Hassan Whiteside both on the court and on Twitter will be on hold until at least Monday.
What the Sixers have in excitement though, they lack in experience. Ben Simmons, Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric and Embiid are all dipping their toes into the playoff waters for the first time. While the likes of J.J. Redick, Ersan Ilyasova and Marco Belinelli are all battle-tested in the postseason, they may not be able to make up for the big stage jitters should the younger players play out of character.
On the flip side, the HEAT have a wealth of experience.
Erik Spoelstra has won multiple NBA titles. Dwyane Wade is back in the fold. The entire HEAT roster is comprised of veterans who know their roles within the team and what it takes to succeed in the postseason. They aren't as flashy as the Sixers, and they don't necessarily have the "star" power like Philadelphia, but they're as cohesive a unit as you will find in this postseason landscape.
The NBA's new "it" team may come into the postseason on a hot streak, but Miami has the leadership to make this series dogfight as early as Saturday night. Mark this down on your calendar as one of the must-see matchups in the first round.
These are just some of the hot storylines heading into the postseason, and many more will surely pop up as we get deeper into the games. As for now, buckle up and enjoy the ride. Postseason chaos is here.

What We Learned: Western Conference Week 2


Holland Smith, the son of a lawyer, was born in Alabama, United States, on 20th April, 1882. After studying at the University of Alabama and obtaining a law degree he decided he wanted to become a soldier.
In 1905 Smith joined the US Marines. During the First World War he served in France with the 5th Marine Regiment and in 1918 was awarded the Croix de Guerre.
After the war Smith became an expert on amphibious warfare and in March 1937 he was appointed as director of operations and training at Marine Headquarters in Washington.
On the outbreak of the Second World War Smith took command of the 1st Marine Brigade. Promoted to major general, took his troops to Cuba for training in preparation in case the United States became involved in the conflict. However, it was not until September 1943, that it was decided to use Smith on the front-line he was appointed commander of the 5th Amphibious Corps.
In 1943 Admiral Chester Nimitz began to plan the removal of the Japanese from the Gilbert Islands. The attack force was headed by Vice Admiral Raymond Spruance and his fleet included six aircraft carriers, five light carriers, six new battleships and several smaller warships.
Holland Smith was given the task of attacking the two most westerly of the Gilbert Islands, Makin and Tarawa, on 20th November 1943. Makin, defended by only 800 Japanese soldiers, was taken without too much difficulty.
Tarawa was much more heavily fortified and the 5,000 US Marines that were landed on the first day had to wade ashore under considerable Japanese artillery fire. Further landings took place on the 21st and the island was not made secure until the 23rd November. The capture of these two islands cost nearly 1,000 dead and 2,000 wounded.
The experience convinced the Joint Chief of Staffs that Admiral Chester Nimitz was right to be selective about the islands that should be invaded that were under that control of the Japanese Army.
Promoted to a three-star general, Smith led the US Marines on its assault of Saipan on 18th June 1944. Smith and his troops also invaded Tinian, an island three miles off Saipan. Japanese resistance on the two islands ended on 1st August 1944.
In July 1945 Smith returned to the United States and took control of training at Camp Pendleton, California, until retiring in May 1946 after 41 years military service. Holland Smith died on 12th January 1967.

Nick's 'Shrimp' shells records
5:00 AM PDT 8/7/2007 by Kimberly Nordyke , AP
Nickelodeon has scored with the premiere of its original movie "Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp."
The movie, which debuted at 9 p.m. Friday, averaged 5.8 million total viewers and 2.3 million tweens 9-14, according to Nielsen Media Research. That makes "Shrimp" the network's most-watched TV movie in both measures, beating the January 2006 premiere of "Drake & Josh Go Hollywood" by 4% in the demo and 6% in total viewers.
"Shrimp," starring Nickelodeon favorites Drake Bell and Josh Peck, also pulled in 2.4 million kids 6-11, including 1.3 million boys in the demo, and 3.1 million kids 2-11.
It also posted triple-digit increases over the same time period a year ago in kids 2-11 and 6-11 and among tweens 9-14.
In addition, the "Shrimp" online site on Nick.com, which launched July 27, has generated more than 1.7 million page views. n

This brief serves as a resource for K–12 districts, state education agencies, higher education institutions and district Title VI Indian education offices. The brief outlines the challenges in identifying American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students, provides federal definitions and offers a set of promising practices for different audiences.
How are colleges improving the way they identify and support AI/AN students? See our new blog post on how the University of Oregon has made strides in overcoming many of these challenges.
American Indians are the only group in the country that must prove their race or ethnicity through membership or descendancy to receive designated federal services and funding.
This is critical for several reasons. One is that the definition of who qualifies as (AI/AN) influences the funding, programs and policies available to Indian Country. Inaccurate identification of AI/AN students can also present serious noncompliance issues with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The ways AI/AN students are defined and identified vary—which has created many challenges, including dramatic fluctuations in AI/AN student counts. Differences between federal definitions of who qualifies as AI/AN, as well as revised data-collection processes that do not allow multiple races and ethnicities to be recorded, have led to significant under-identification of K–12 Native students. This is particularly true for students with complex ancestries.
Inaccurate data impact the statistics generated from ethnic and racial classifications, such as graduation and dropout rates, attendance rates and percentages of students meeting academic standards. Without accurate data, it is impossible to track the improvements or declines in AI/AN student success—which undermines confidence in data on Native students. It also suggests students who are eligible for educational services and opportunities may not be receiving them.
Accurate student counts are necessary to ensure treaty obligations are fulfilled, programs designed to meet the needs of Native students are appropriately funded, and the performance of AI/AN students can be reliably tracked.
This brief is based on work by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory's Northwest Tribal Educators Alliance, a working group made up of members of the Education Committee of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest.

Hello dears, I hope you all are enjoying your last weekend of the year! I'm in the middle of my longest staycation stretch that I've had all year long, and you best bet that I am doing my best to enjoy it. Yesterday I took my brother and his entourage on a small tour of LA and so far we've gone to Mann's Chinese Theater to see the handprints, Griffith Park, photos in front of the Hollywood sign, cupcakes at Sprinkles, and finished the day with Korean BBQ. Today we plan hitting the beach cities and a getting good view of LA from the Getty Museum. Sigh, tourists.
I'm a huge fan of polishes with shimmer and flakes, and when Pahlish had her Black Friday sale, I had to dive in a pick up a few lot, including Armour Falling Down. This beauty has a ton of gold flakes embedded within a gorgeous dusty eggplant base. Application was easy enough - the first was thin and streaky so for the second coat I used a generous layer which was enough to get the mani opaque. I read about a new to me technique on MUA NB about applying polish with the brush parallel to the nail. I'll have to practice this technique and see if it works for me, but the benefit is that if done properly, you won't need to use as many layers. I'll keep you posted on my thoughts! Finally to finish, I used a layer of NYC GCS.
Pahlish made this a standout winner in her winter collection, especially with those gorgeous gold flakes and muted purple cream base. I love when gold and purple come together, because it reminds me of royalty and decadence. After swatching this, I'm eager to try the rest of the polishes that I got from my recent haul. The question is, where to start!
Ooh, love those gold/coppery flakes!
Wow, perfection! :) Yes, purple & gold do look so royally together. Wonderful polish.
thank you!! I need to use those two colors more often together, especially for skittles.
Wow, this is insanely gorgeous! I've been wanting this one ever since first seeing a preview of it. Your swatches have convinced me that I need to get it. I'm so happy to see that the gold flakes aren't shy at all.
get it get it! pahlish is having a discount code right now I think, through the end of new years day!


Students will be released at 1:20 p.m. on Tuesday, February 12, 2019.
We will have no after school tutorials on this day, since CES is hosting the District UIL Academic Meet.
For grades 3,4 & 5...you may bring a sack lunch from home, or they can purchase one from the cafeteria.


Because Princeton is not too far from Alexandria, I had the ability to go to the funeral and the internment. As many of us had the privilege of getting to know Mike and Kathy much better because of the proximity of their Alexandria home to our reunion venues, perhaps a couple of images of Monday's ceremonies would be of interest to some. I will leave these in your hands to use how you wish.
- The Funeral Mass at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Community was inspiring for many reasons.
First, Kathy - despite her suffering - had the chance to write notes to her sister which were read at the Mass. These were beautiful comments of gratitude to her Walter Reed doctors, and all the many friends who were in her corner throughout her heroic fight.
Second, you will note that the Church is not labeled, "church" but rather "Community". In fact, a beautiful church surrounded by a school and community center.
Throughout the Mass, the sounds of children (of the school) could be heard in the background...which at first I just accepted as "white noise"..but then realized that this lovely location on this particular day was simply a reminding me of how close are the lines between life and death. All of Kathy's teaching and support of children with reading and learning disabilities was driven home to me as my mind went back and forth between the words of the priest and the chatting of the children --perhaps only 200 meters away.
Third, the priest. I thought what a marvelous speaker. What great presence and at the same time --wonderful humility. Mike told me later, he had experienced a 20 year officer's career in the Marine Corps. Then went to the seminary on retirement from the USMC.
The ceremonies continued at the relatively new Quantico- VA Veterans Administration Cemetery.
The procession goes to another Station.
The Casket is brought to an open air shelter with seats for about 15. The rest of us stand and watch and listen to the priest go through the prescribed graveside ritual. But at Quantico, there is no graveside ceremony. The ceremonies are done in these shelters- not far from the graves, but not at graveside. When completed, the entourage slowly moves away and Mike and his sons make sure that the casket is transported to the grave site. Ironically, Mike's oldest son --many years earlier--had done a project as an Eagle Scout - on assisting the VA on how to lay out the cemetery. Another example of life moving in full circle(s).
- A reception was held at the near-by Globe and Laurel Restaurant not far from the new Marine Memorial and the Main Gate. Among the many showing respect for Kathy (and Mike) was a former RAF pilot with whom Mike worked while on "loan" the RAF to impart his knowledge on F-4's I learned that . Mike and Kathy gave great 4th of July parties which even the "Brits" enjoyed.
– Finally, back at Mike and Kathy's home in Alexandria, his two wonderful sons Cliff and Griffin along with Kathy's family from the Boston area...all slipped into more comfortable gear and relaxed and just re-connected with one another. Kathy (Sheehy Wholley) has a large and highly articulate family. Conversations meandered all over the place. Life is full of wonderful ironies. One of Mike's really good friends had been his Rear Seat (RIO) as Warrant Officer. He went on to study law and became a UCMJ judge. One of his first assignments had been to preside over the then newly minted attorney --Maj Wholley.
- The conversation went something like this...." When I Iooked out from my perch and saw the first case of the day was Mike Wholley, I had to call him to the bench...and said...."years ago, that F-4 cockpit was your domain. ...well, sir,,,this here courtroom is my domain...my cockpit... I'm in charge"
There were stories like that. - Right after I left, I recounted the day in my mind. My feeling was this- I was very grateful to the Wholley family for allowing me to be with them. I sure wish life lasted longer...however, since it doesn't I am so appreciative that we have wonderful examples -Kathy Wholley- who remind us of the importance of walking the extra mile or two in support of our fellow humans. ...often times when cynicism is more of an automatic response. Watching a family care for its members is impressive. Kathy expanded that sentiment to be far more inclusive... a much larger family.
- I so well remember on completion of our Summer OCS program..driving Midshipmen Wholley and (Brad) Myers from Quantico to Andover and Metheuen MA. These two spoke all the way home about their special ladies. I continue to marvel at quality and caliber of the men I met at TBS....and some of their very special spouses.

The leftist American revolutionaries who drafted our Constitution created a political form of government. They did not adopt an economic system, or write a capitalist manifesto. In fact, the words free market and capitalism do not appear anywhere in it.
The political system they conceived replaced the dictatorial rule of a monarch, with elected representation under a republican form of government. They granted Congress the power to write laws, but no where did they adopt or require capitalism; nor did they outlaw socialism. On the contrary, they expressly delegated to Congress the power to provide for the general welfare.
Although our liberal ancestors fought a revolution against unfair taxes imposed by the English crown, they in turn expressly delegated to their own Congress the power to "lay and collect taxes." Thus, they were not opposed to taxes; they were only against those levied without representation from overseas.
Although the founders objected to laws and regulations written far away in London, they expressly gave their own Congress the power to regulate commerce between the states, and with foreign nations. They were not against regulation; they were only opposed to it when it originated, without their input, in England.
Although many of the American revolutionaries were wealthy landowners, they did not bar Congress from taking property. They only banned seizures that were "without due process of law." In fact, the Constitution expressly allows the taking of private property for public use, provided "just compensation" is paid.
We often hear misguided right-wing politicians talk about the U.S. Constitution, as if they understood it. Some like Michelle Bachmann even confuse the Declaration of Independence, written in 1776, with the Constitution, adopted 11 years later, in 1787.
Under the U.S. Constitution, the Congress is free to impose taxes, regulate businesses engaged in interstate commerce, and to seize private property, if they have a public purpose. Our lawmakers expressly have the power to provide for the general welfare. The line between more or less socialism and capitalism is up to the Congress; as the Constitution does not mandate one or the other.


Welcome back to my Morning Recap, breaking down yesterday's sports news and events. Since I in fact did not come up with something better by the end of Wednesday, this column is being written from underneath my shame blanket (which is way more comfy than it should be.) Let's get into it!
Nope. Not touching it. Nothing happened in the hearing today, and we're moving on.
The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves by a score of 85-77 tonight, improving their record to 1-17. Congratulations to the 76ers players, who repeatedly insist that they are playing their hardest and are in no way deliberately tanking a season for a high lottery pick. This of course begs the question, "You sure you want to admit to that? You've got a pretty easy out, here..."
The only thing shocking about this announcement is that it took until 2014 for the cops to increase their presence at Raiders games.
While we're not saying that wearing this sneaker will give you the ability to carry your rec team to a .333 win percentage, we're also not not saying that.
We also can't claim that this sneaker will help you bring back your rec league's hero, who's been playing at the Y across town for the last couple of years.
Dubious marketing claims aside, this shoe makes a perfect complement to any outfit you wear when your roommate and his new girlfriend invite you along on their date.
Everyone I know from Cleveland, those are for you.
Listen, Manziel fans, the Browns are (inexplicably) still in contention for the AFC North or a wild-card spot. The stretch run probably isn't the time to break in a rookie QB who was one lucky referee review away from a brutal scoop-and-score, not even if the QB provided the only touchdown in an anemic showing against Buffalo. If the Browns were trending towards yet another top draft pick (hey again, Cleveland), then you could go for the damn-the-torpedoes, "let's see what we've got" approach, but Hoyer's gotten the team into the thick of the race.
Listen, Hoyer fans, the Browns offense has been brutal recently. Hoyer has thrown one touchdown and six interceptions in the past three games. If the Browns want to stay in contention, that's an unacceptable statline, plain and simple. Manziel unquestionably provided a spark off the bench, and Cleveland will need that to stay in contention in the resurgent AFC North. We know what Hoyer provides, and it's not playoff-caliber play.
Now that I've cleaned that all up, I'm sure this Internet debate will progress in only the most civil, rational manner. You may continue.
First of all, congratulations to Coach Kill, who's doing a fantastic job building Minnesota's program into a Big Ten contender.
We'd like to apologize for Adam's behavior and wish him the best as he recovers from his rage-induced brain aneurysm.

Q: How does make automatically create .o file I have a file hello.c (no hello.o yet).
When I give command
gcc -o hello hello.o

It gives error gcc: error: hello.o: No such file or directory, but when I create a makefile containing following rule,
hello: hello.o
    gcc -o hello hello.o

and run make, it automatically creates hello.o from hello.c and then successfully creates hello executable.
Since I didn't write command to create hello.o from hello.c in makefile, how does make know which command it should run?

A: make has not only uses the rules you added explicitly in makefiles, it has implicit rules as well. The full list you can find at https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Catalogue-of-Rules.html#Catalogue-of-Rules
and the first implicit rule in the list is

Compiling C programs
n.o is made automatically from n.c with a recipe of the form '$(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -c'.

A: Because make has been around the block enough to have implicit rules about how to transform a .c file to a .o file:

Compiling C programs
n.o is made automatically from n.c with a recipe of the form
'$(CC) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -c'.

More info on Prix de Lausanne
Prix de Lausanne: Map
The Prix de Lausanne is an International dance competition held annually in Lausanne , Switzerland . The competition is for young dancers seeking to pursue a professional career in classical ballet, and many former prize winners of the competition are now leading stars with major ballet companies around the world. The competition is managed by a non-profit foundation organised by the Fondation en faveur de l'Art chorégraphique and is maintained by various sponsors, patrons and donors.
Théâtre de Beaulieu, where the final selection is usually held.
The Prix de Lausanne was founded in 1973 by the Swiss industrialist Philippe Braunschweig and his wife Elvire. Philippe, although not a dancer, became interested in dance as a young man. His Russian dancer wife developed his interest further.
The Braunschweigs created the competition after noticing the lack of financial support to young dance students, particularly those from small regional schools, wishing to attend professional level programs.
He started by approaching Rosella Hightower and Maurice Bejart who drew up the rules for the competition.
What started as small event has grown into an internationally acclaimed institution that draws candidates from all over the world. Over the past few years the competition has seen a big boom in Asian candidates. Because of the great demand by Japanese students to study abroad, an office was also set up in Japan .
The Braunschweigs announced their resignation at the end of the Prix in 1996. In March 1997, as the competition came to its 25th anniversary, the philantropists handed over the Prix's direction to an executive committee composed of the Swiss Secretary of State, Franz Blankart and an artistic committee headed by Jan Nuyts, who worked with the Prix for many years. Mr Charles Gebhard is in charge of finances and Ms Patricia Leroy heads the actual organization. The Braunschweigs remain available as consultants and have managed to maintain the original mission of the competition.
Entry is reserved for young student-dancers, aged 15 to 18, who have not yet been in professional employment and open to candidates of all nationalities.
Currently, participants are required to submit a 15-20 min DVD recording showing them performing a combination of barre and centre-work exercises in a studio environment and pay a non-refundable registration fee of CHF 100. Those candidates selected to participate in the competition pay a second fee of CHF 100.
Around 120 candidates from 30 or so countries compete each year, in the hope of being selected for the final, reserved for the best 15 among them. The final of the competition is broadcast live on television.
As from 2007 the Prix de Lausanne is part of an exchange program] with the prestigious Youth America Grand Prix, which allows dancers from each competition to benefit from the scholarship opportunities available at both. Thanks to a mutual agreement, finalists who have not received a scholarship at one of the competitions will be eligible to participate in the other without having to pass the selective rounds.
By combining their scholarship-giving capacities, these two of the most important dance competitions in the world help create a wider network of opportunity for young dancers worldwide.
The Prix is held annually over a one-week period in January (when it tends to snow), usually at the Théâtre de Beaulieu in Lausanne . The dimensions of the stage of the Théâtre de Beaulieu are: 12m wide x 14m deep with a 3.6% slope.
Occasionally the organization has arranged for the finals to be held in other locations: New York City in 1985, Tokyo in 1989, and Moscow in 1995, in order to accommodate the participants.
During the competition, the theater has its foyers and conference halls converted into dance studios and observation areas. The backstage area houses offices, an infirmary, and a shop that sells dance clothes, books, and videos and a cafeteria on the balcony.
The aim of the Prix de Lausanne is to facilitate the young competition prize-winners to embark upon a professional career by providing them with an opportunity to spend a year improving their skills at one of the Prix's partnering schools or to benefit from a year's apprentice scholarship with one of the international professional dance companies partnering the Prix.
Only one scholarship is available from each partner organization so decisions as to which winner is offered a place are based on their ranking. Although on occasion, they agree to accept more than one laureate.
The jury is composed of nine people. Each member of the jury must either have a link with one of the Prix's partner ballet schools or companies or be an ex-winner.The panel is chosen as to fulfill a wide geographical representation and mix of youth and experience.
The members of the Jury for the 2009 competition were:
President of the jury:
Karen Kain - Artistic Director, National Ballet of Canada, Toronto
Members of the jury:
Amanda Bennett - Director, Ballettschule Theater, Basel , Switzerland
Marianne Krusse - Educational Director and teacher, the School of The Hamburg Ballet, Germany
Francia Russell - Founding Artistic Director, Pacific Northwest Ballet, USA, Freelance Balanchine teacher and stager
Miyako Yoshida - Guest Principal, Royal Ballet, London and K-Ballet Company, Japan , Prix de Lausanne prizewinner in 1983
David McAllister - Artistic Director, The Australian Ballet, Australia
Patrick Armand - Ballet Master, Teatro alla Scala , Milan , Italy , Prix de Lausanne prizewinner in 1980
Ted Brandsen - Artistic Director and resident choreographer, Dutch National Ballet, Amsterdam
Bruce Sansom - Director, Central School of Ballet, London , England
Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux - Artistic Director, North Carolina Dance Theatre, USA
Ms Ramona de Saa, Director, National Ballet School, La Habana, Cuba
Ms Aki Saito, Principal, Royal Ballet of Flanders and Prix de Lausanne prizewinner(1991)
Ms Cathy Sharp Director, Cathy Sharp Dance Ensemble, Basel , Switzerland
Ms Irina Sitnikova, Professor, Vaganova Academy, Saint-Petersburg, Russia
Ms Monica Zamora, Former Principal, Birmingham Royal Ballet, England and Prix de Lausanne prizewinner (1989)
Mr Wim Broeckx, Director, Royal Conservatory, The Hague, Netherlands and Prix de Lausanne finalist (1980)
The jury evaluates candidates' potential throughout the competition considering their level of:
Physical suitability
Courage and individuality
An imaginative and sensitive response to the music
A clear grasp in communicating differing movement dynamics
Technical facility, control, and coordination.
After the DVD selection, participants go through the second phase of selection rounds, which consists of ballet and modern classes on stage and is the hardest and the most unforgiving.
After each round, the dancers which are not selected for the finals have a one-on-one meeting with a designated juror to discuss their performance problems and level of training. Suggestions range from pointers on petit allegro to weight and hair styling. All participants can keep taking daily classes and participate in the final class, called "The Job Exchange", in which attending directors can see them in ballet class and which result in many entrants usually receiving offers to study at various companies around the world.
For the finals, dancers must prepare a classical and contemporary variation as well as a "variation libre" or free variation of their own choice. The Prix has lately been producing a very helpful DVD in which the dances required to be performed are demonstrated by former winners, like Darcey Bussell from The Royal Ballet and Marcelo Gomes from ABT. In the past, participants learned the variations from any available source, coming up with a multitude of interpretations, varying in musicality and style. The DVD has been a helpful tool in improving the uniformity of the performances.
Only the most successful dancers actually perform these pieces in front of an audience. Tickets are sold for the public semi-final and final which are attended by some of the big names in dance.
The semi-final takes place on the final Saturday of the contest and lasts most of the afternoon. Clapping is strictly forbidden so as not to disturb the candidates. In reality, the audience's murmurs can be heard in the auditorium after each variation with a fair gauge of success.
The Sunday final culminates in the award of generous bursaries, where up to six Prix de Lausanne winners are selected.
The next Prix de Lausanne will take place from January 26 to January 31 2010
Prix de Lausanne Scholarship - a scholarship of one year's free tuition and the sum of CHF 16,000 in ten monthly installments for living expenses during the prize winner's year of studies.
Prix de Lausanne Apprentice Scholarship - consist of a one-year apprentice scholarship for awardees over 17 and the sum of CHF 16,000 in ten monthly installments for living expenses.
Contemporary Dance Price - consists of contemporary dance course at one of the partnering institutions and covers both travel and living expenses.
Best Swiss Candidate Price - consists of a cash price of CHF 2,500 awarded to the best finalist residing in Switzerland and having trained in Switzerland for at least 3 years before the competition.
All finalists are offered free summer courses (travel and accommodation costs not covered) and receive a diploma and a medal. Finalists not winning a prize receive a consolation cashprize of CHF 1,000.

As I say to those I mentor to build a business or life coaching business regarding assessments, it's not the wand it's the wizard!
Meaning, an assessment is not some elixir you give to a client and suddenly voila! They've magically, overnight, changed their behavior.
It never happens that way.
It's not the wand, it's the wizard.
What will you do as the wizard, the coach, with the wand, the assessment, to leverage what's in the report to get your client to where they want to go quicker?
Today's post will serve up five things you can do to royally screw up your 360 degree process.
If you want to be a magnificent wizard, don' do this.
As a former journalist, I knew it came down to asking the right questions to uncover key facts to get to the heart of a story.
Likewise, if leaders aren't asking the right questions during 360 organizational surveys, then how could they possibly expect to receive sufficient data, much less better understand their workforce DNA?
TTI's 360 surveys allow employers to assess the strengths and weaknesses in up to 1,000 respondents regarding their overall workplace performance, interpersonal communication and/or management style, with a focus on individual and company-wide development.
While effective 360 surveys can foster greater workplace communication and set clearer expectations, these benefits cannot be achieved if the development tools aren't applied and rolled out successfully.
More importantly, these anonymous questionnaires can be paired with assessments, like DISC and 12 Driving Forces, to understand how someone's actions and decision-making impacts their feedback, while also helping the facilitator deliver their development ideas in a more constructive manner.
Here are 5 mistakes that can cause a company's 360 survey to fail.
If the questions aren't well thought out, you won't get the answers you need to implement change. Clear communication between management and employees, explaining why this survey is being rolled out and what will come of the resulting feedback, will allow for more candid and honest answers.
360 surveys produce the best results when used as intended. Be honest from the outset about expectations and never use the results to render employee decisions without an actionable plan moving forward. Once the data is misused, participants may lose trust with management.
What good is a 360 survey if it's not measuring anything the company stands for and represents? If the metrics you're measuring don't align with the company's mission, vision and values, then employees won't develop skills that will move them forward, nor will any initiatives get off the ground.
Goal-setting is meaningless if no one is held accountable for achieving end-results. Leaders can't expect change from their employees if they can't adequately measure aptitude and progress. Creating accountability measures will allow for results to take place; development plans can be set up for those who fail to meet specific standards.
Despite a successful rollout, leaders won't be able to determine progress and results without proper follow-up and evaluation of the survey. Ensuring the results will be revealed and explained company-wide ensures the results are being used for the right reasons and will eventually lead to improved inefficiencies.

Midtown Visits New York Historical Society's Superheroes in Gotham Exhibit
Quite a treat located right at the museum's entrance!
If you're reading this article, then the odds are pretty good you're at least somewhat interested in comic books! If so, we're happy to say that walking through the New York Historical Society's Superheroes in Gotham exhibit is something we absolutely recommend! It really doesn't matter if you're brand new to the medium, a casual fan of superheroes, or a longtime mega fan, because the exhibit has something for everyone to appreciate. From a detailed spotlight of popular characters' earliest moments, to an insightful look at how the characters took over popular culture, the exhibit is not only educational, but also a ton of fun! Oh, and we can't help but love the fact they have one of the Batmobiles from the classic 1966 Batman show right at the museum's entrance!
Right when you enter the exhibit, there's a gallery dedicated to one thing: giving people a greater understanding and appreciation of Marvel and DC's biggest characters. This first part of the exhibit explores the fictional and real origin story of several big name Marvel and DC characters, including Batman, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, and a few others. Who created them, when did it happen, and how did New York City play such a pivotal role in the birth of comics? Learn about the founding fathers of the American comic book, including Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Steve Ditko, and many more! There's action figures based on the classic looks, first appearance comic books on display, original artwork to gaze at (see below!), and plenty of informative and entertaining facts to read. Even if you already know the basics of the popular characters' creation, it's still a good time seeing so much material dedicated to each of them and it's all presented in a way that'll grab your attention. Looking at the artwork and first appearance issues alone is sure to fill you with joy and keep you staring for quite some time. Plus, there's a section about how comic books were influenced by World War II, and George Reeves' Superman costume is on display! Awesome, right?
After you've spent a good amount of time immersing yourself in Captain America, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, and Iron Man's earlier years, it's time to take a look at how the characters invaded television! There's quite a few items on display – including one of Catwoman's classic costumes – and there's even two TVs playing classic footage featuring Batman and Superman . And for those who are new to comics or just want to do some rereading, there's a good amount of comics that are available to read. Obviously, this gallery is where many people will make the wise decision to take a seat and enjoy some classic footage or read one of the numerous comics.
The final gallery showcases a more modern look at comic books and their relation to New York, as well as a couple other interactive treats. The costume from the (short-lived) Spider-Man Broadway musical is on display, Run-DMC fans will have quite a bit to admire, and there's even a display which reveals just how much comic conventions have changed over the years. When you're finished reading all of the information on display, there's two interactive experiences to go before the exhibit is over! First up is a quiz that determines your superhero personality based on your response to several fun questions. After that, there's a photo booth! You can choose from several different backgrounds, strike a superhero pose, and have the picture e-mailed to you! You can't take pictures in the exhibit, but this is a fun (and potentially silly) way to remember the experience. We looked at the camera instead of attempting to save the city. Midtown Comics, you have failed this picture!
Historical Society logo… or awkwardly worn superhero mask?
All in all, The Superheroes in Gotham exhibit is worthy of your attention. New or old, you'll more than likely enjoy going back to the earliest moments involving some of Marvel and DC's biggest. The comic book industry has such a rich history, and it's one that's well worth exploring all over again, especially if you get to look at so many classic comics, costumes, and artwork!
The Superheroes in Gotham exhibit is open until February 21, 2016. Tickets are $19 for adults, $15 for seniors & educators, children (5-13) are $6, and children 4 and under are free.

For those looking to supplement with potassium, I have found an alternative. It seems we need a fairly substantial amount of potassium daily and supplements are limited to 99mg per pill. You'd need about 25/day to get up to your daily dose. I had read about people taking "No Salt" as it's Potassium Chloride as opposed to Sodium Chloride. Very easy to get the daily dose, but it tastes horrible. At least for me it did as I tried to do it all at once, some people use it on their food but I like actual sea salt instead. I recently read that cream of tartar also has a lot of potassium, so I've been taking that. I mix a teaspoon in water and down it. Not much taste and a little gritty, but 100 times better than No Salt.
It's been over a year since a started keto and it's still going strong. I enjoy all the foods I eat and I'm rarely hungry. I got really busy last week for a couple of days and only had time to eat once per day in the early evening. It's now been a week and I've stuck to the once per day meals. I've read about others doing it and had wanted to try it, this seemed like the perfect opportunity. It definitely ups the intermittent fasting factor. I transitioned into it very easily and quite enjoy it so far. Haven't been hungry and no need for snacking. Before this I was eating twice per day, now that it's condensed into 1 meal I find I'm eating about 60% of what I had been previously. It seems I'll save some money as well if I'm able to continue.

I did a test run for about 5 days, kept my macros clean and only ate 20g of carbs, I had zero problems and felt pretty good. I cant stay that low full time as I do a lot of sports and need glycogen. I am moving to around 100g of carbs a day tops, but nothing crappy.
During the five days of <25 carbs, i could tell a big difference in the way felt, especially after a holiday spend with crap carbs.


While in Hot Springs a couple of months ago going to the horse races I found this gluten-free green pea pasta at one of the shops down town and since my son and family were visiting the next week I wanted something new gluten free to make for my daughter-in-law.
I purchased a red lentil pasta and this green pea pasta. My first thought was a pea pasta salad with green peas and some other green ingredients. I just happened to have one potato so I cut it into small cubes and boiled and added to the pasta salad.
There are so many gluten-free pasta out there now and once you add all your other ingredients you would never know it was GF. I was never a fan of gluten-free recipes (especially sweets/pastries) when they were starting to appear all over the internet. Seems like they were all made from just almond flour and to me everything tasted like almonds. I like all the new blends of flours and especially the pastas made with vegetables like this green pea pasta. This one comes from Abruzzo, Italy and you can buy it here or find it in a specialty shop.
I have so many "flours" in my pantry, some I have used some others not; tiger nut, cassava, coconut flour, almond, sprouted wheat, all-purpose, self rising, cake flour, buckwheat, brown rice, and even spelt flour are just sitting there waiting to be used. I don't have to eat gluten-free so I'm not using these often.
If you can't find the green pea pasta or don't want to even bother looking for it, use a spinach noodle pasta for this salad. I was just trying to keep it "green". I couldn't help adding a little crispy prosciutto to the finished dish.
BLAST FROM THE PAST: These Brazilian Cheese Rolls are so cheesy and good and gluten-free.
I had a small white potato lying around so I cubed, boiled and added to the salad.
Boil the pasta until just al dente, drain, rinse in cold water. Add in the frozen green peas (uncooked).
Add in the cucumber, zucchini and green onions.
Add in the potatoes and enough of the dressing go coat. Salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk all the dressing ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to add to the salad.
Peel and cube the potato. Boil in water until tender, drain and set aside.
Boil the pasta al dente, drain, rinse under cold running water.
Put the pasta in a large salad bowl and add in the frozen green peas, the zucchini, cucumber, green onions and enough of the dressing to coat and hold the ingredients together. Gently fold in the potato cubes.
Salt and pepper to taste. Top with crispy prosciutto or fried bacon. Chill until ready to serve.
