Q: How to enable IIS-level output caching for a MVC route? I want to enable IIS output caching for ~/sitemap on our website.  However when I look in the IIS Output Cache settings, it asks for the extension, an no where to include the path.
<caching>
    <profiles>
        <add extension=".aspx" policy="CacheUntilChange" kernelCachePolicy="DontCache" />
    </profiles>
</caching>

The path is www.site.com/sitemap - no extension.
How can I enable this?

A: You can set the location property of the cache configuration block to refer to a file path and then set the extension within that to be a wild card.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <location path="~/sitemap">
       <system.webServer>
          <caching enabled="true" enableKernelCache="true">
            <profiles>
              <add extension="*" policy="CacheUntilChange" kernelCachePolicy="CacheUntilChange" />
            </profiles>
          </caching>
       </system.webServer>
    </location>
</configuration>

The combination of the two should seek to constrain the policy to the outer path ~/sitemap while overcoming the required extension problem within the add rule with the wildcard *.
Note: there is also a location attribute within the add rule.
This is a different location property to what I'm referring to here as it concerns where to cache the content (client, server, etc) whereas the recommended outer location scopes what gets cached.

Frequencies: Year in Review 2008
1. Cut Copy In Ghost Colours (Modular)
There are many effective ways of gauging if a band has had a breakout year. The first is usually record sales and chart placement, followed by critical reception, number of gigs, MySpace plays, and to a lesser extent, number of interviews given. For Melbourne, Australia's Cut Copy, the figures go like this: 4,000 units sold in Canada, 50,000 sold in the U.S. and 35,000 in their home country for their second album, In Ghost Colours; a number one debut on the Australian album charts; a 79 out of 100 score on Metacritic.com based on 17 reviews (one of which was a highly coveted 8.8 from Pitchforkmedia); over 100 concerts performed through to the end of 2008, which included appearances at high profile events such as South By Southwest, Coachella, and Glastonbury; and by the time you're reading this, the six songs on their MySpace player will have exceeded five million plays.
All very impressive, yes, but where Cut Copy have undoubtedly reigned supreme in 2008, aside from in the ears of Exclaim! writers, is in giving interviews. One Google search of "Cut Copy" and "interview" pulls up what seems like endless pages of results for features on the band. So, come mid-November, it must be a trying experience to be sitting in an airport, forcing out one more chat about influences, how In Ghost Colours was conceived and the year in review, but the band's front-man and founder Dan Whitford is not only game, but also aware that he and his band-mates have broken some sort of record for interviews given in one year.
He laughs but seems prepared. "Don't take offence to this but we were just sitting in an airline lounge right now ordering some food, and our tour manager came up and said that I had to do an interview," he explains. "And Ben [Browning], our bass player who just started playing with us this year said, 'Y'know, I think I could actually do this interview and answer all of the questions correctly.' Because we've done so many and he's heard them all, it's almost to the point where we already have the answers to any possible questions you could ask about the record or us - we've answered them at least five or six times already."
There's no denying Cut Copy earned the success they've had this year. To some, answering the same questions over and over as many times as they have is enough. But it's been a seven-year journey to this point, and prior to the release of In Ghost Colours in April, the Australian trio (also including Tim Hoey and Mitchell Scott in the official line-up) were lost in a sea of rock bands armed with synthesizers trying to keep a steady balance of electro with their pop.
Beginning as a solo project for Whitford, a DJ with a graphic design background, Hoey, Scott and briefly Bennett Foddy, joined in to make it a proper band and help finish Cut Copy's debut album. Released by the hip Australian boutique label Modular in 2004, Bright Like Neon Love was a straight-up fusion of dance and rock, awash in an '80s new wave glow with a strong nod to French touch. It put them on the map, earning them an opening slot on a North American tour with Franz Ferdinand and TV On the Radio and eventually an Australian tour opening up for Daft Punk in 2007. But it wasn't until the release of In Ghost Colours that the band noticed a shift that resulted in the album debuting at the top spot of their country's album charts.
"We've noticed, certainly in our country, a new audience for that kind of music, because I think people who were too young to actually go and buy tickets to our shows and go to bars to see us when the first record came out are now out there partying," says Whitford. "It's almost like they've adopted that type of music as their own, so it definitely feels like there's a subtle shift in the music that young people are into. In the last few years that's made things a lot better for us. It's a readymade audience for us this time, whereas with the first record we felt like we were battling to get a crowd or battling to get people to understand the kind of music we're making, and this time it felt like people just got it straight away."
The times are certainly changing for Cut Copy, who along with acts like Justice, Hot Chip and compatriots Midnight Juggernauts use electronic foundations like electro, house and techno and construct their music with the pop format in mind. "It always felt like dance music and guitar-based music were always separate," explains Whitford. "Dance music was always kind of minimal and more of a niche thing, whereas now it feels like the two converge a lot more. Dance music is a lot more poppy, with more 'regular' song structures, than it was ten years ago. Maybe it's a reflection of that, and why our music is more palatable."
Whitford is selling his music short. Whereas there are so many generic artists now using synths with guitars to make dance music along the lines of Cut Copy's first record, In Ghost Colours is that rare find you cherish digging in crates: an album that breaks free from a deep pigeonhole to blur the boundaries we use to assign genres. You can hear traces of everything from expected components like Daft Punk's filter house ("Far Away") and New Romantic synthesizing ("Out There On the Ice" and "Strangers in the Wind") to newfound flecks like the energy of Italo house ("Hearts On Fire"), My Bloody Valentine's swelling guitar noise ("We Fight For Diamonds" and "So Haunted") and triumphant '70s arena rock ("Unforgettable Season"). As Whitford sees it, the band, along with co-producer Tim Goldsworthy (DFA Records), were out to try and shake up their foundation without messing with their soft spot for pop song structures.
"The main idea was to make music that was harder to define," says Whitford. "And I guess that can be a problem sometimes when it comes to defining our own music because it's quite difficult. We tried to make a record that didn't sound like a particular style, we write songs that transition from guitar-based stuff into more studio/club sounds, and there's even some folk-inspired stuff on this record. I guess this time around, with a similar intention as the first record to write pop songs and create something that interested us. I think probably we just got close to the kind of record we wanted to make this time around, and hopefully for the next one, again, as we learn better how to make records and write songs." And I'm guessing, not try and defend that record of theirs in the process.

2. Hercules and Love Affair Hercules and Love Affair (DFA)
The "disco sucks" movement was rooted in ugly homophobia, so how perfect for modern music's greatest gay singer Antony Hegarty (of "?and the Johnsons") to lend his androgynous pipes to a project dedicated to bringing disco back in all its sweaty, shimmery, tear-soaked beauty. Over the arms-raised neo-italo beats of Andy Butler, Hegarty and other guest singers apply a pop structure to the euphoric songs and a longing to every lyric, fretting about flying blind amidst uplifting disco-house horns. By album's end you'll forget the retro signifiers - this is even better than the real thing.
Joshua Ostroff
3. Lindstrøm Where You Go I Go Too (Smalltown Supersound)
The scruffy-looking smiling Norwegian on the cover does not exactly scream poster-boy for Italian-cosmic disco. But Hans-Peter Lindstrøm has used his leftfield advantage to resurrect and reinvent the genre itself (with help from collaborator Thomas Prins). Not beholden to form or formula, Lindstrøm's full-length debut delivers just three tracks, yet each one clocks over 10 minutes. Nothing short of a sensory experience, his three cosmic operas pleasure the ear with kaleidoscopic shifts in tempo, astral washes, motorik beats, and melodic climaxes. Though firmly rooted in Italian disco, his album, past singles, and countless remixes prove that Lindstrøm won't be bound by convention.
4. The Bug London Zoo (Ninja Tune)
Perhaps it's a result of his uncanny ability to make extreme music ahead of its time, but Kevin Martin has quietly become one of the most under-recognized forces in bass evolution over the last two decades. Whether he's making metal, drone, or dancehall as part of Experimental Audio Research, Techno Animal, God, or the Bug, Martin is a veritable weather vane of where music is headed. London Zoo is the first occasion he's slowed down enough to let the rest of us catch up and, fittingly, music fans have taken notice. The album is the most accessible and well rounded of his long career, a victory lap now that his pioneering efforts have finally been affirmed.
Dimitri Nasrallah
5. Flying Lotus Los Angeles (Warp)
From its hazy, organic atmosphere to the cornucopia of genres it draws from, it's easy to understand why Los Angeles, the second full-length from Flying Lotus, has been undeniably assaulting the ears of music aficionados around the world. Experimental music producer FlyLo (Steve Ellison) combines jazz, hip-hop, electronic and world music, puts his own smoky spin on the mix, and drops fat synths and warm, slightly off-tempo beats to complete the killer package. The result is a city narrative that runs from the gritty ambient underbelly of the operation, right down to the sublime.
Ashley Hampson
6. Fuck Buttons Street Horrrsing (ATP)
On this spin of the genre wheel the marker came up "electronic," but this album is oh so much more. Hypnotic, tribal beats are but one of the many elements that make this debut so much exhilarating fun. Throw a dash of noise, maybe a little punk and, hell, why not some pop? Each song is a master class in keeping the listener guessing whether the next sound is going to be distorted shrieks, pounding drums or ambient sound. This is music without boundaries, limited only by two insanely warped imaginations willing to press any and all buttons.
Chris Whibbs
7. The Mole As High As the Sky (Wagon Repair)
Like a microcosm of the expedition in a great night of techno under the stars, As High As The Sky pays tribute to the night and beat-based music. The album opens ambiently with static and ocean waves washing onto the shore before stepping into Adam Beyer's remix of the boxing ring imagery on "Still In My Corner." Each track has a soul and transmits that rhythm without ambiguity. While As High As The Sky conveys a range of sonic auras, it is all clearly and distinctly the Mole's work.
8. Girl Talk Feed the Animals (Illegal Art)
In many ways, all previous Girl Talk records have merely been a warm-up to Gregg Gillis' Feed the Animals. No longer are his "songs" cramped, claustrophobic pieces of pop-culture tribute, but living, breathing party starters, where everyone's all-time favourite bits of their all-time favourite songs are exquisitely weaved together, not crudely mashed up. And with some 300 uncleared samples - ranging from top 40 hits to hip-hop bangers to snooty indie jams to golden oldies - there's a lot here to get you sweaty and keep you that way. Simply put, Gillis' Girl Talk has perfected his practice. Brock Thiessen
9. Benga Diary of an Afro Warrior (Tempa)
In another successful year for dubstep, Benga was at the forefront of its continuing development. His second album at only age 21 exhibits greater progression and diversity with the predominantly monophonic "26 Basslines" or "Crunked Up" offset against lush harmonies like "Emotions" or the radio crossover "Night" and driving tribal rhythms contrasting deep grooves. Reaching far beyond the genres core audience with a sound as listenable at home as satisfying tearing apart club speakers, Diary achieved significant respect from peers as a musical work more than just another collection of club anthems.
Rob Woo
10. Sebastien Tellier Sexuality (Record Makers)
From the funny and provocative album art, the hypersexual theme, and the American Apparel cross promotion, Sebastien Tellier's Sexuality could have been all gimmick. Fortunately, it's saved by masterful works that teeter between irony and sincerity. Approaching his work with the attention of a classical composer, Tellier doesn't force his songs to shine when they don't have to, instead building textures with layered synths. Resembling the lost soundtrack of a bizarre, likely pornographic sci-fi movie, Sexuality is both fascinating and moving.

The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) today to work together to more efficiently address issues relating to conservation and development in the Pacific region.
The four-year MOU recognises the special expertise that the two international organisations possess in different sectors related to biodiversity conservation, such as fisheries and marine conservation, forestry, energy, food security, water and climate change.
By joining their competencies, SPC and IUCN will enable a more holistic and sustainable approach to economic and social development in the region.
"SPC welcomes the opportunity for a meaningful partnership with IUCN to help the countries of the Pacific region develop and implement a green growth strategy in the blue continent," said SPC Director-General Dr Jimmie Rodgers.
The joint work by SPC and IUCN aims to support each Pacific Island member to achieve the national and regional outcomes defined as priorities by Pacific leaders.

Cooks snatch 24-22 win
October 25, 2009 mlipen Normal, Sports
THE Cook Islands' incredible international season continued as they booked their place in the final of the SP Brewery Pacific Cup with a last-gasp win over Fiji Bati in Port Moresby on Saturday.
The Cooks' thrilling 24-22 win in the dying seconds of the match will see them face Papua New Guinea for a spot in the 2010 Four Nations tournament alongside Australia, New Zealand and England.
PNG Kumuls crushed Tonga 44-14 yesterday.
Last year's World Cup semi-finalists Fiji – the game's number one ranked Pacific nation – looked set for victory as they sneaked into a 22-20 lead with three minutes remaining.
But poor handling had plagued the Bati all afternoon, and two crucial errors as they defended their line in the dying stages allowed the Cooks to pinch the match-winning try with seconds to go.
The Cook Islands started the stronger on a windy afternoon at the Lloyd Robson Oval, building a 10-0 lead, thanks to tries from Vincent Ngaro and man-of-the-match Daniel Fepuleai.
Fiji failed to match the Cooks' enthusiastic attack in the early stages, but finally found their rhythm when Newcastle Knights winger Akuila Uate powered over after 20 minutes.
Fiji levelled the scoreboard shortly afterwards when Ryan Millard set up the position for a Lepani Waqa try, creating a 10-10 half-time deadlock.
The Cook Islands re-built their 10-point lead early in the second half, as Gold Coast Titans winger Dominic Peyroux and Fepuleai crossed for further scores.
Fiji struggled to find a way through the unrelenting Cook Islands' defence, but with barely 10 minutes remaining, they began their comeback.
First Uate burrowed over for his second try, before a series of probing attacks resulted in Mike Ratu forcing his way through the Cook Islands defence to level the scores at 20-20.
Captain and Newcastle Knights star Wes Naiqama converted superbly from the touchline in strong winds, and Fiji thought they were home.
But their handling let them down again, as two knock-ons in the final few minutes allowed the Cook Islands to run the Bati defence ragged, eventually leaving a gap on the wing for Peyroux to gather a high kick and score the Cook Islands' match-winning try with seconds remaining.
Wes Naiqama, whose impressive touchline conversion looked to have won the match for Fiji, said: "It just proves that it's not over until the fat lady sings.
"We're really disappointed but the Cooks played a great game and you've got to give them credit."
The Cook Islands only qualified for the tournament thanks to a shock playoff victory over Samoa in Cairns a week ago, and now find themselves 80 minutes away from a place in next year's Four Nations.
"I am really happy for the boys," Cook Islands coach David Fairleigh said.
"No-one really gave us a chance but we're here now. We've achieved a little bit by getting here with our international ranking, but now we've got an opportunity to achieve a little bit more." – AAP

Why this is an issue
We have spoken to young people, headteachers, college leaders, health and support workers and employers. The same concerns have been raised: we need to understand young people's lives better, be aware of the factors that limit their resilience, and provide the support they need to be ready to learn, achieve and progress into rewarding employment.
The concern raised the most was the increasing impact on learning of poor mental health and wellbeing that does not meet the threshold for clinical intervention, but still causes significant behavioural issues in and out of school, affects attendance and, ultimately, stops pupils aspiring to or achieving the grades they are capable of. Schools and colleges working with immigrants or other vulnerable groups can face particular issues in helping pupils integrate, particularly if they have been subject to trauma.
The data – for Oldham and in general – suggests there is a link between mental health issues and performance in the classroom. We owe it to pupils and teachers to develop a better understanding of the scale of the impact on learning. Many schools already pay for school-based counselling services or resilience programmes, but demand for the professionals running these services often outstrips supply, and teachers can feel they lack the professional knowledge to provide effective support. In choosing the best programmes, schools have to choose from a wide range of options, with evidence of effectiveness often hard to find.
Youth unemployment in Oldham is higher than the national average, and young people in Oldham are far less likely to enter the workplace at 18 (via apprenticeships or other employment).
The poorest children in Oldham are much less likely to go to a top third university than other children in Oldham, or when compared to other disadvantaged young people around the country.
When we spoke to employers and professionals working with young people out of school, they all talked about resilience and the benefits of a broad and inspiring curriculum in keeping young people engaged and opening pathways to a wider range of careers. They made it clear that young people need to develop soft skills like communication, self-discipline and the ability to work with others, as well as developing a deep knowledge of core subjects, and to have opportunities to take part in cultural activities, sport, and volunteering.
boost the capacity of those supporting schools, such as school mental health advisers and school health advisers, to complete mental health impact and needs assessments and baseline data for Oldham schools by the end of 2018, including pupil surveys to monitor changes in mental wellbeing issues and track improvements, as well as capturing data on learning hours lost to mental health issues
support schools to develop mental health plans, and work to embed the whole school and college mental health framework by the end of 2018 to ensure a legacy of effective practice – this will include supporting schools and colleges to use the mental health self-assessment tool
offer needs-based support to schools and colleges between 2017 and 2019 to allow them to source additional mental health support to meet immediate needs (for example, counselling for students)
train at least 1 staff member in every school to deliver robust, classroom-based programmes to promote resilience and mental health, so that these programmes can be delivered in schools from 2018 onwards
celebrate, evaluate and support homegrown initiatives – Oldham benefits from a number of locally-developed support programmes, including the 'positive minds' programme run by Positive Steps, peer mentoring in Saddleworth school, and the Kooth online counselling offer, which is commissioned directly by the Youth Council. These and others look promising but the evidence base is not yet in place to make the case for scaling them up. We will evaluate the most promising initiatives, drawing on the expertise of our research school to help design and run our evaluations
all schools will have a robust mental health plan and named mental health lead
there will be an improvement in mental health and resilience, and a reduction in learning hours lost to mental health problems, compared to the baselines established in 2018
all schools will have staff members trained to deliver classroom-based programmes to improve resilience and mental health
at least 25% of schools will provide additional mental health support for students, with at least 3 additional full-time mental health support staff
at least 3 mental health initiatives developed by Oldham schools will be supported and evaluated and, if they are effective, scaled up to reach more pupils
all schools will be supported to offer the Oldham Pledge through additional extra-curricular activities to build young people's resilience and employability
every 11 to 18-year-old will benefit from at least 4 high-quality encounters with the world of work
we will have invested in building a robust and attractive offer of technical education, subject to the findings of our work later this year – this could include, for example, new technical and general qualifications pre- and post-16

TTXGP announces July race at Portland Int'l Raceway
Portland event adds third race to 2011 TTXGP U.S. Championship
By Pete Brissette	March 30, 2011 0
The all-electric motorcycle grand prix race series, TTXGP, announced Mar. 29 it added Portland International Raceway to the TTXGP North America Championship 2011.
Set for July 16-17, the Portland stop follows the first round of the U.S. TTXGP championship set for May 14-15 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif. The only other round currently scheduled is set for Virginia International Raceway during the weekend of August 12-14. There's a place holder for a fourth stop in the series' 2011 schedule, but as of this writing a date or location isn't listed on the TTXGP website.
Michael Czysz, founder of MotoCzysz, sits aboard his electric motorcycle race-winning E1pc. With MotoCzysz's corporate headquarters located in Portland, it's a safe bet Czysz will compete in the recently announced Portland round of the TTXGP.
Azhar Hussain, CEO and founder of the TTXGP eGrandPrix, says that, "The next generation of motorsport has started and we are very proud to be hosting a race at Portland International Raceway this summer. With such an engaged administration, industry and community, Portland is a fantastic addition to the line-up and we are looking forward to bringing TTXGP there."
The TTXGP Portland race will run alongside an OMRRA (Oregon Motorcycle Road Racing Association) event during the same weekend. "Hosting an international championship race, especially one focused so firmly on the future, is very exciting to OMRRA. It aligns with our club goal of expanding the appeal of two-wheeled competition. And it seems a special fit with the state of Oregon, where a progressive approach to the environment and transportation is deeply engrained," says Chris Page, Board member of OMRRA.
Brammo, maker of the consumer-available Enertia electric motorcycle, is also located in Oregon and competes in ebike races, so another safe guess says Brammo will attend the Portland event. Seen here is Brammo's electric racer, the Empulse RR.
This latest venue for the eGrand Prix is apropos, as MotoCzysz, winner of the 2010 Isle of Man TT Zero and the first FIM e-Power race held in the U.S. during the 2010 Red Bull USGP Laguna Seca, has its corporate offices in Portland. And large scale (relative to the size of the ebike industry) maker of electric motorcycles, Brammo, is located in Ashland, Ore., approximately 285 miles south of Portland. Brammo is also active in electric motorcycle racing, with its Enertia TTR as the first finishing production motorcycle – and third overall – in the 2009 TT Xtreme Grand Prix (TTXGP) held during the Isle of Man TT.

Based on Attala Composable Storage Infrastructure, solution provides 1PB/U density, high performance, multi-tenancy and parallel data sharing for HPC applications.
Attala Systems today announced the launch of its breakthrough storage solution for the High Performance Computing (HPC) market at SC2017 in Denver. The solution, which will be available in 2018, was developed in collaboration with Intel and Supermicro and utilizes Attala's Composable Storage Infrastructure and management software, Supermicro enclosures, Intel® FPGAs and Intel® Optane and Intel 3D NAND SSDs with NVMe to achieve 5.5M IOPS and 1PB per 1U of rack space. The solution also provides multi-tenancy and parallel data sharing capabilities for Lustre and Spark.
Attala Systems, which recently won the G2M Research "Most Innovative NVMe AFA" Key Company Award for Fall 2017, will be demonstrating the solution with Spark in both the Intel booth (Booth 1301), and with Lustre in the Supermicro booth (Booth 1611) at SC17, being held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.
Historically, HPC storage systems have either focused on achieving high density or high performance, but not both. Additionally, high-performance HPC storage sulutions have generally not been available at competitive price points. The HPC solution from Attala Systems to be demonstrated at SC 2017 not only changes that paradigm, but does so for real HPC workloads. When the solution is available in 2018, each 1U storage node will feature up to 1PB capacity, 5.5 million IOPS, and multi-path network redundancy. The reduction in latency provided by Attala's composable storage infrastructure also turbocharges small-packet performance in systems such as Lustre's Data-on-MDT feature. Finally, the Attala solution allows multi-tenancy storage operations and parallel data sharing in HPC applications.
The HPC-focused solution utilizes the FPGA-powered Attala HNA25/40 Host NVMe-oF Adapters in host servers and Attala NSC40/50 NVMe-oF System Controllers and Intel NVMe SSDs in a Supermicro SSG-136R-N32JBF 1U enclosure. Because the Attala Systems storage nodes do not require a CPU, host agents or software, they dramatically simplify deployment and maintenance of the overall solution across multiple racks and heterogeneous environments. Storage provisioning and orchestration are also simplified thanks to Attala's SPARA management software, which automates the management and use of storage assets. These capabilities help Attala Systems reduce the cost of the overall solution, enabling high-performance and high storage density to be achieved in an HPC storage system with very competitive acquisition costs and total cost of ownership.
Attala, Supermicro, and Intel will also be discussing the solution and its use in the HPC arena in the Supermicro Booth (Booth 1611) at SC17. Presentations will be on Tuesday November 14th from 11am-noon, and on Wednesday November 15th from 11:00am-noon. Copies of the Lustre and Spark solution briefs will also be available in both the Supermicro and Intel booths.
Founded in 2015 with offices in San Jose, California, Attala Systems is an early-stage technology company focused on the design and development of a new generation of storage and networking infrastructure based on the use of FPGAs and cloud-focused self-learning orchestration and provisioning software. By freeing storage architectures from the multiple levels of abstraction inherent in enterprise-based storage systems, Attala significantly improves system performance reduces operational costs for cloud storage providers and those with a need for high-performance, low latency storage systems.

Hollybeary Creations : Snowflakes w/ a Sketch!
This week at Create with Connie & Mary they have a fun sketch for us.
This is a great sketch, very versatile! My son's class needed a card to go with the group gift and this is what I came up with. The gift is on the purple side so I went non-traditional for the colors.. Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant & Lucky Limeade... Not your typical Christmas colors!
My card base is Elegant Eggplant and then a layer of Lucky Limeade with some of the same color DSP. I stamped the snowflakes onto a piece of Whisper White in the same coordination colors. Then I matted it onto a piece of Wisteria Wonder. Both the Elegant Eggplant base and the Whisper White layer are spritzed with some Vanilla shimmer Smooch.
For the snowflakes I used the Serene Snowflakes set and the sentiment is from Many Merry Messages. I stamped the sentiment onto some Wisteria Wonder in Eggplant and then I added a strip of Lucky Limeade. My snowflake is Die Cut from some glitter paper using the Snowflakes Sizzlit set and the Big Shot. I added an Eggplant Button and some Limeade ribbon to the center!.
Make sure you head over to Create with Connie and Mary and see some of the other entries and join in the fun! I hope your week is starting off great! Only a week till Christmas, are you READY?

A short post to mark my coming back to the world of blogging... And the creation of another necklace after a long hiatus. During this time I've been struggling to stay awake (with not much success so far!), been to Rio and back, and not much more. Except for pampering our little Bella more and more every day.
I made this necklace as my Mother requested. She had a long Murano lariat that broke. She gathered the beads and sent them to me, asking me to do "something" about it.
I decided to make a new, longer necklace and reuse most of the beads, also adding some new elements, such as: Swarovski crystals (essential, in my opinion), Brazilian lemon quartz pebble and lantern-shaped beads, small round yellow jade beads, and three fabulous tonbodama, by Naomi, a very skillful Japanese bead artist. My aim was to give these tonbodama a new "home" and I thought they would get along really fine with my Mother's original beads.
Tonbodama are exquisite glass beads that combine different types of coloured glass and can be inlaid with several delicate patterns. In Japanese the word tombodama literally means "Dragonfly bead", as they seem to display the colours and reflections of a dragonfly eyes: 蜻蛉 (tonbo) meaning "dragonfly" and 玉 (dama) meaning "sphere, ball". The art of glass beading was introduced in Japan around the 3rd-4th centuries AD, from the Eastern Mediterranean via the Silk Road (mostly China and Korea).
Below, a detailed view of the lovely lemon quartz pebble beads, and the lantern-shaped ones - which I am not 100% sure are lemon quartz, but certainly some kind of quartz/crystal.
The tonbodama are these beautiful big round beads in green, yellow and blue with inlaid flowers and roses and swirly golden patterns.
Below, they can be seen in more detail... I absolutely adore them.
Again, the lovely transparent Muranos, some Czech faceted crystals, lemon quartz and Swarovski elements... The Muranos look quite old and battered but are still shiny and bring a lovely vintage flair to the piece, coordinating well with the tonbodama and lemon quartz.
I'm so happy to have you here again.
"I absolutely adore them" I do adore them too!
The pale blue, green, and yellow tombodamas and the color combination of the necklace beautifully represent summer(natsu).
I'm so glad to know that Bella is fine.
The neclace Bella is awesome. It is very stylish and lovely. Thank you for sharing all these, Andrea.
The product was a which u have mention.I think these are the most valuable post discus through this blog. so necklace beautifully It is very stylish and lovely. Thank you for sharing all these.

How To Get A Career in Private Equity Started
There are a lot of people who are looking to get started in the world of business. Similar to other industries, there are lots of options in the business world. Some people decide to go into accounting. Other people might decide to go into marketing. There are others who might study finance.
With a degree in finance, there are lots of doors that will open up. One of them could be a career in private equity. One of the most popular career paths in the world of business, what does this career path mean? How can someone get started? There are a few important points people need to keep in mind. Remember that there are always professionals such as Ralph Thurman who can help.
What Is Private Equity?
Before going into private equity, it is important to understand what this career entails. Similar to how people trade stocks on the stock market, those who work in private equity will be responsible for helping companies invest their money in private companies to generate returns.
Instead of looking at public companies, those who work in hedge funds will be looking at private companies. sThey might give a private company a bunch of money to get off the ground in exchange for a stake in the business. That is where the name private equity comes from.
By picking the right company, those who work in private equity have the potential to generate massive returns.
An Undergraduate Education Is a Necessity
Anyone who is interested in a career in this field has to start with a strong undergraduate education. There are a lot of people who get into private equity by first earning a BSBA, which is a bachelor's in science in business administration. While this type of degree is not required, it is one of the most popular paths. Many people who want to go into private equity will major in finance, accounting, or both.
It is critical for everyone to excel in their undergraduate coursework to set themselves up for success. Doing well in the undergraduate area is only the first step in pursuing a career in this field.
Internships Can Lead to a Job
During the undergraduate phase, it is also important for everyone to pursue internships with various companies. These internships are important because they can lead to a job once people graduate from college.
For example, if you have an internship after your junior year and before your senior year, you could end up turning this into a job. The vast majority of people will work for a few years before they go back to school. For example, you might work as a financial analyst or a consultant for a few years before you decide to go back to graduate school. Though it is not required, a lot of people who want to go into private equity will go back for an MBA.
Go Back for an MBA
The next step is to go back for an MBA. Those who would like to get an MBA need to take the GMAT, which is a standardized test that a lot of MBA programs will use to see who they want to take. Undergraduate GPA will also play a role in the application process. It might also be possible that applicants could ask for letters of recommendation from some people, including professors and employers. An interview might also play a role in the application process.
An MBA will demonstrate a higher level of expertise and commitment to the field, which could help someone get a better job.
Network To Get a Job
Finally, in order to land a job in private equity, it is important to network while in MBA school and in the working world. There are lots of conferences that people will attend along the way. You never know which hand you might shake that could lead to a job one day. You simply need someone to help you get your foot in the door to land the perfect job to help you launch your career in this field. This can help you excel in private equity.
Get Started in Private Equity
These are a few of the most important points people need to keep in mind if they are interested in a career in the field of private equity. This is a lucrative and rewarding career path for those who are interested in it.
The first step is to do well in school. Then, it is important to network to get a job. Anyone who would like to get the most out of this field should remember that they do not have to go through this alone. There are professionals who can help those who are driven and motivated to succeed.

How Water Efficiency Can Help Small Businesses Save Money


The Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC), its member universities and the City of Holyoke launched the Mass Net Zero Data Center (MassNZ) — an experimental, solar-powered, micro data center that is the first of its kind in New England, with a ribbon cutting on Friday Feb 26 2016 at the MGHPCC facility.
The MassNZ and MGHPCC facilities will work in collaboration with Holyoke Gas and Electric (HG&E), the municipally-owned utility that serves the City of Holyoke. The principal investigators for MassNZ are Christopher Hill, Principal Research Engineer and Director of Research Computing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Professor Prashant Shenoy of the UMass Amherst College of Information and Computer Sciences. HG&E's participation in MassNZ is part of a distributed energy storage demonstration project undertaken in partnership with Boston-based startup Sparkplug Power.
MassNZ is an extension of the Engaging-1 project, an initiative by the MGHPCC founding universities, led by Christopher Hill, that started with a $1.6M National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for a shared computing resource and has grown to support collaborations involving hundreds of researchers and students at MGHPCC founding members Boston University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, UMass and other institutions.
The 200-square-foot MassNZ micro data center is located adjacent to the MGHPCC, a 15 megawatt, LEED Platinum data center. Solar panels located next to the micro facility provide power. Inside it are renewable cooling systems as well as batteries and micro-flywheels for energy storage. MassNZ will also house a variety of different server, storage and network systems.
Both MassNZ and the MGHPCC will generate power, cooling and workload data that will be used by researchers to investigate data center integration with a smart electric grid; machine learning-based, data-driven modeling of sustainable data centers; and the design of High Performance Computing applications that exploit novel power-management techniques. MassNZ is spurring a number of research collaborations that hope to utilize and extend its goals, in partnership with Boston University, Northeastern University and Williams College.
"MassNZ is a great example of the kind of collaboration that the founding MGHPCC universities envisioned" said MGHPCC Executive Director John Goodhue. "It also expands the ability of the MGHPCC to serve as a living laboratory for research in sustainable data center design.
Partial funding for the MassNZ testbed was provided by a MGHPCC seed grant and a grant from the NSF. The HG&E distributed energy storage demonstration project is supported by grants from the American Public Power Association and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.
 This work is partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1538918. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the principal investigators and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

Marijuana Is a Wonder Drug When It Comes to the Horrors of Chemo
by Jeannie Herer | Jul 31, 2015 | Archives | 0 comments
BY JESSICA FIRGER
Canisters of medical marijuana and a price list for the marijuana products is seen inside Highland Health medical dispensary and wellness center in Denver, Colorado, U.S., on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2009. A growing number of cancer patients and oncologists view marijuana as a viable alternative for managing the negative effects, such as nausea, bone pain, anxiety, and depression, of both chemotherapy and cancer itself. MATTHEW STAVER/BLOOMBERG/GETTY
After a successful surgery to remove a cancer-ridden section of Jeff Moroso's large intestine in the spring of 2013, the oncologist sat down with his patient to prepare him for what would come next: 12 rounds of punishing chemotherapy, once every two weeks for six months—standard practice for the treatment of colon cancer.
Moroso's oncologist spent most of that appointment writing prescriptions for medications he said would minimize the debilitating side effects of chemotherapy. He gave Moroso scripts for ondansetron (Zofran) and prochlorperazine (Compazine) for nausea, and lorazepam (Ativan) for anxiety and insomnia. Because the nausea drugs are known to cause gastrointestinal problems and headaches, he also recommended three over-the-counter medications for constipation and one for diarrhea, as well as ibuprofen for pain. In total, he instructed Moroso to take more than a dozen prescription and nonprescription drugs and supplements.
Moroso says the first three rounds of treatment were more awful than he could have ever imagined. After chemotherapy, he felt so ill and weak that he could barely stand up, and it took him days to rebound. And the prescription drugs just made him feel worse. "I felt real sick, incapable of doing anything except for lying there and trying to hang on," says Moroso, who is 70 and now cancer-free.
Moroso couldn't afford to lose days of work while he was doing his chemo. He'd heard from friends and read in the paper that cannabis can help a patient through chemotherapy, so he got a letter from his oncologist that allowed him to obtain medical marijuana. (He chose coffee beans infused with 5 milligrams of cannabis, a low dose that he took when he felt he had to.) By the seventh round of chemotherapy, Moroso had dumped his prescription pills. "I would get blasted on the stuff and be happy as a clam, no problems," he says.

No wonder they hate Joe the Plumber
Speaking of outrages, don't miss the recording of an on air PBS interview from 2001 in which Barack Obama discusses how best to implement the redistribution of wealth. (M. Simon linked it earlier, and I don't want to be duplicative, so just scroll down to his post to listen.)
Obama says that the courts might not be the best place, but he makes it clear that he's all for the concept.
Via Newsbusters, a link to the transcript of the video (which I've posted below, for those who want to read it).
Looks like the unlicensed plumber was onto something.
MORE: Bill Whittle reacts to Obama's utterly damning statements:
...we have never, ever in our 232-year history, elected a president who so completely and openly opposed the idea of limited government, the absolute cornerstone of makes the United States of America unique and exceptional.
If this does not frighten you -- regardless of your political affiliation -- then you deserve what this man will deliver with both houses of Congress, a filibuster-proof Senate, and, to quote Senator Obama again, "a righteous wind at our backs."
That a man so clear in his understanding of the Constitution, and so opposed to the basic tenets it provides against tyranny and the abuse of power, can run for president of the United States is shameful enough.
As Bill says, he's "just getting started."
MODERATOR: Good morning and welcome to Odyssey on WBEZ Chicago 91.5 FM and we're joined by Barack Obama who is Illinois State Senator from the 13th district and senior lecturer in the law school at the University of Chicago.
OBAMA: If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples. So that I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I'd be okay.
But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as people tried to characterize the Warren court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you, it says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn't shifted. One of the I think tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributed change and in some ways we still suffer from that.
MODERATOR: Let's talk with Karen. Good morning, Karen, you're on Chicago Public Radio.
KAREN: Hi. The gentleman made the point that the Warren court wasn't terribly radical with economic changes. My question is, is it too late for that kind of reparative work economically and is that that the appropriate place for reparative economic work to take place - the court - or would it be legislation at this point?
OBAMA: Maybe I'm showing my bias here as a legislator as well as a law professor, but I'm not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through the courts. The institution just isn't structured that way.
You just look at very rare examples during the desegregation era the court was willing to for example order changes that cost money to a local school district. The court was very uncomfortable with it. It was very hard to manage, it was hard to figure out. You start getting into all sorts of separation of powers issues in terms of the court monitoring or engaging in a process that essentially is administrative and takes a lot of time.
The court's just not very good at it and politically it's very hard to legitimize opinions from the court in that regard. So I think that although you can craft theoretical justifications for it legally. Any three of us sitting here could come up with a rational for bringing about economic change through the courts.

Q: Why is the set ${1,x^2,x^3...}$ linearly independent as functions? I know that the set is a basis for the vector space of polynomial over some fields.
but why are they linearly independent?
namely, as function from the polynomial to the base field, what is a proof that they cannot be linearly dependent as functions?

A: Polynomial functions $1,x,x^2,\ldots$ over a field $K$ are linearly independent over $K$ if and only if $K$ is infinite.  This is because $$x^{|K|}-x=0$$ for every $x\in K$, when $K$ is finite.  In fact, every function from $K$ to $K$ is a polynomial function when $K$ is finite, and in this case, the best you can say is that $1,x,x^2,\ldots,x^{|K|-1}$ are linearly independent functions.
On the other hand, abstract polynomials $1,x,x^2,\ldots$ over $K$ (i.e., they are elements of $K[x]$) are always linearly independent over $K$ (you can prove this claim, for example, via Vandermonde determinant).  You have to distinguish between polynomial functions and abstract polynomials.  Only when $K$ is infinite, you can roughly treat the two concepts as the same thing.

A: Two possible answers:

*

*The abstract definition of a polynomial ring stipulates that a polynomial, with coefficients in $\mathbf R$, say, is a sequence $(a_0,a_1,\dots, a_k,\dots)$ with finite support, i.e. there is only a finite number of $k$s such that $a_k\ne 0$. This set is endowed with an addition, defined componentwise, and a product defined as the Cauchy product. It makes the set of polynomials an  $\mathbf R$-algebra, and a basis as an $\mathbf R$-vector space is made up of the powers of the particular polynomial $(0,1,0,\dots, 0\dots)$, usually denoted as $X$.

If $n$ is the largest $k$ such that $a_k\ne 0$ (the degree of the polynomial),  the polynomial $(a_0,a_1,\dots,a_n,0,\dots, 0,\dots)$  can be rewritten as
$$a_0+a_1X+\dots+a_nX^n$$
so it is by construction that $a_0=a_1=\dots =a_n$.

*

*If there were a non-trivial  linear relation  between $1,x,\dots, x^n$:
$$a_0+a_1x+\dots a_n x^n=0,$$
the polynomial would have any value of $x$ as a root. However, this is impossible over an infinite field, as one shows  that a polynomial function $p(x)$ with coefficients in a field has  at most $\deg p$  roots.

A: You are having trouble proving this because it's not true. Over the $p$ element field  the polynomial $x^p -x$ is identically $0$ as a function, so $\{x, x^p\}$ is a dependent set.
Those polynomials are in fact dependent over any finite field, since
there are only finitely many functions from a set to itself and the list of formal powers $x^n$ is infinite.
Note: here is an answer to the narrower question suggested in the comments. In characteristic $p$ the polynomials $1, x, x^2, \ldots, x^{p-1}$ are independent as functions. If some linear combination produced the $0$ function that linear combination would be a polynomial of degree at most $p-1$ with at least $p$ roots (since thare are at least $p$ elements in the field) hence the $0$ polynomial.

PANCHAYAT SAMITI & ZILA PARISHAD ELECTIONS
The BJP Juggernaut Rolls On
After the thumping victory in the Municipal Elections, the march of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) brigade continued in rural Chandigarh as well.
In elections results announced on Tuesday to the 15-member Panchayat Samiti and 10-member Zila Parishad, the BJP announced it had won 11 and 8 seats respectively, leaving the Congress again licking its wounds. The elections were held on Sunday.
The winning panchayat samiti and zila parishad candidates from Behlana, Sushil Kaur & Santosh
The results resounded in the general house meeting of the municipal corporation as well, with former Mayor Sood, asserting that the people had once again given a stamp of approval to the pro common man agenda of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, under whose leadership the BJP is capturing power in one state after the other.
In December, last year, the BJP had pulled off a coup of sorts by decimating the Congress in the general elections to the municipal corporation, claiming 20 of the 26 elected seats with its ally Shiromani Akali Dal taking the alliance tally to 21.

I got the mixed vegetable tempura, which consisted of peas, yam and pumpkin. The pumpkin was a nice change from the usual cucumber. The yam and pumpkin pieces were enormous! I would have preferred the batter to be crispier, but that didn't bother me too much.


Just as Cohiba cigars represent Cuban craftsmanship, and Arturo Fuente is intrinsically Dominican, Oliva Cigar Co. is often the first name mentioned when describing the unique attributes of Nicaraguan cigars.
The Oliva family traces its roots in the cigar industry more than 100 years, with Melanio Oliva growing tobacco in Cuba in the late 1800s. Eventually, as with most legendary cigar families, the Olivas emigrated elsewhere, as the Cuban government seized private industry in the early '60s. The Olivas did not settle straight away, but eventually established themselves as a producer of Nicaraguan smoking experiences following the great cigar boom of the '90s. This was a time when Nicaraguan tobacco began to surge, and Oliva sealed themselves as an exemplar for Nicaraguan tobacco with a new blend titled simply "Oliva Serie V," launching in 2006.
Oliva Serie V showcases an all-Nicaraguan filler/binder, making good use of some specially-fermented Jalapa ligero leaf in the cigar's filler. Nicaraguan tobacco is known for its fiery and intense attributes, and Oliva Serie V sets out to let these qualities shine. To compliment the rich Nicaraguan interior, a high-priming Habano Sun-Grown leaf is used for the wrapper. This combination produces one of the most full-bodied smoking experiences from Oliva, showcasing a superior balance of strength and finesse. Flavors are often described as being smooth, yet rich, with notes of coffee, caramel, aged tobacco, and various cabinet spices.

Traffic-related trace element fate and uptake by plants cultivated in roadside soils in Toronto, Canada
Wiseman, C.L.S.; Zereini, F.; Püttmann, W., 2013: Traffic-related trace element fate and uptake by plants cultivated in roadside soils in Toronto, Canada. Science of the Total Environment 442: 86-95
This research examines traffic-related trace element emissions and their uptake by plants grown in urban roadside environments in Toronto, Canada. Oregano (Origanum vulgare), beets (Beta vulgaris) and eggplants (Solanum melongena) were cultivated at four locations with variable traffic-related metal inputs in 2010. The top 30 cm of soil at the medium-traffic location was first replaced with a triple mix soil (topsoil, compost and peat) to control for pre-existing contamination. The same soil was used to cultivate at the two no/low traffic locations. Soil at the heavy traffic location was not remediated. Soil, plant tissue and plant rhizosphere samples were collected for the analysis of a range of traffic-related metal(loids) using ICP-MS, including Cr, Mn, Cu, Ni, Cd, As, Sb and Pb. Samples were digested with HNO(3) and HCl using a microwave-assisted digestion procedure and then treated with HF prior to analysis. Two certified reference materials, San Joaquin soil (NIST 2709a) and trace elements in spinach leaves (NIST 1570a), were used for QA/QC purposes. Metal(loid) concentrations and accumulation over time were highly variable at the medium traffic site where the soil was replaced. Mn (p<0.10), As (p<0.10) and Sb (p<0.01) concentrations significantly increased in bulk soils from May to November 2010, while Ce (p<0.01) and Cd (p<0.10) levels decreased. For instance, median As concentrations increased from 4.39 to 8.40 mg/kg over this period. Metals were found to be more bioaccessible to O. vulgare grown in the new soil at the medium traffic volume site, compared to the aged soil at the heavy traffic location. Several elements, most notably Cd, were also found to accumulate in the root zone of sampled S. melongena. Metal concentrations in S. melongena rhizosphere were better predictors of plant tissue levels, providing evidence that soil quality guidelines based on total metal concentrations for bulk soils are inadequate.

Acupuncture is an ancient holistic healing therapy that is part of the wide scope of Chinese Medicine. The core theory of this medicine is that pain and illness arise from an imbalance of energy (or Qi- pronounced Chee) flowing through channels that travel all along the body. By inserting tiny, sterilized and disposable needles into certain acupuncture points on the body, practitioners can redirect the flow of Qi to rebalance the body and promote optimal health.
How will Acupuncture and TCM help me get pregnant and how long will it take?
This is a great question that will be answered in depth during your first appointment. Briefly, Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine help to regulate the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian Response which causes optimized hormonal output and ovulation. Regulated hormones and ovulation lead to increased chances of conception. Additionally, the treatments and/or herbal therapy will increase uterine lining, bring more circulation to the uterus, benefit follicle stimulation and egg quality, and relax the nervous system.
A general rule of thumb with treatment is that we want to see significant changes in your menstrual cycle within 3 months of weekly treatment. We treat weekly to regulate each of the 4 phases of a menstrual cycle according to TCM (menses, follicular, ovulation, luteal). If you are not pregnant within 4-6 cycles, we will most likely refer you to a Reproductive Endocrinologist for additional examination. Conception can be quick, but occasionally it can take longer than 4-6 months. We will discuss your prognosis according to TCM at your first appointment.
Loose fitting "yoga-style" clothes are best. However, we can always cover you with towels or sheets if that is not possible.
How deep do the needles go and are they sterile?
Needle depth depends on the acupuncture point being used as well as the size, age, and constitution of the patient. Additionally, some practitioners may needle deeper than others depending on the style of their training. In general, needles are inserted between 1/8 and 1 inch deep.
You should feel very calm and grounded to slightly drowsy. Very rarely, symptoms flair slightly after a treatment as energy (or Qi) continues to harmonize properly within the body. After your treatment you should let your body's energy continue to harmonize by resting. Avoid vigorous exercise, alcohol, stressful situations and large/unhealthy meals.

Bug in file.read(), can access unknown data.
Created on 2011-10-13 18:40 by Alexander.Steppke, last changed 2011-10-15 00:43 by terry.reedy.
The tempfile module shows strange behavior under certain conditions. This might lead to data leaking or other problems.
This bug seems to be triggered by calling tmp.read() before tmp.seek(). I am running Python 2.7.2 on Windows 7 x64, other people have reproduced the problem on Windows XP but not under Linux or Cygwin (see also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7757663/python-tempfile-broken-or-am-i-doing-it-wrong).
I followed your suggestion and tried to reproduce the problem without the tempfile module. It turns out that is indeed an underlying issue. I am not sure what the root cause is but now this is even a bigger problem: read() returns information from some file/memory that it was never intended to access.
At the moment the bug could only be reproduced using CPython 2.7.1 on Windows XP and Windows 7.
Additionally after calling tmp.close() the file 'tmp' contains the string 'test', which is followed by about 4kB of binary data similar to the previous output of tmp.read().
I suppose that Python 3 is not affected by this issue because it doesn't use fread/fwrite anymore, but directly read/write (the low level, unbuffered, API).
It looks like Python cannot do anything for this issue, except documenting this surprising behaviour. Would you like to write a patch for the documentation?
Thank you for the update Victor. It seems to me that this is exactly the same issue.
"Note: This function is simply a wrapper for the underlying fread() C function, and will behave the same in corner cases, such as whether the EOF value is cached."
intervening call to a file positioning function, unless the input operation encounters end-of-file."
You can just say " '+' in the file mode ".
This issue has come up enough (tracker and python-list) that I think adding a mild adaptation of the C standard paragraph might be a good idea. Changing to a doc issue.

The striker said he has renewed energy and motivation to play for the national team.
A version of this article appeared in the print edition of The Daily Star on September 05, 2018, on page 14.
Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata said his form last season was a disaster and added that he contemplated moving away from the Premier League after failing to get into Spain's squad for the World Cup. Morata started only 24 league games for Chelsea last season after a 58 million pound ($74 million) move from Real Madrid, scoring 11 goals as the club finished fifth and missed out on qualifying for the Champions League.
Morata added that he struggled to deal with the disappointment of being excluded from Spain's World Cup squad.
