Eli Ruth makes the throw across the infield for the Blue Lions during their game against Miami Trace Friday, April 13, 2018 at Washington High School.
It was a battle of the top two teams in the Frontier Athletic Conference when the Blue Lions of Washington High School welcomed their Fayette County rivals Miami Trace to town for a varsity baseball game on a beautiful Friday the 13th.
The Panthers took a 6-0 lead and were able to withstand a rally by the Blue Lions to take a 6-4 win.
Miami Trace is now one-half game ahead of Washington for first place in the FAC at 4-1. The Panthers are 8-2 overall.
Washington is now 3-1 in the FAC with a suspended game against Chillicothe to be concluded when the Cavs come to town next Wednesday afternoon.
Darby Tyree started and pitched a complete game for the victory for the Panthers. He allowed nine hits and four runs (three earned) with eight strikeouts and no walks.
Kenny Arboleda started and worked six innings for the Blue Lions, suffering the loss. He allowed five hits and six runs (two earned) with five strikeouts and five walks.
Austin Joseph pitched one scoreless, hit-less inning with two strikeouts and one walk.
"A week and a half ago, we thought Darby might be done for the year," Miami Trace head coach Rob Smith said. "We found out it was just a little soreness in his forearm. So, he rehabbed it for a few days and he pitched a very good game this evening.
"Court House can hit the baseball," Smith said. "When he left it up in the zone, they took advantage of it. We only made one error the whole game. You keep the ball down and play good defense; it was a good baseball game."
Smith spoke about the FAC and the calibre of its baseball teams.
"I don't see any world-beaters," Smith said. "We're all trying to find ourselves. Anybody on a given night can beat a good team. I was very impressed with Jackson and going into tonight, they were 0-4 in the league. Everybody's comparable."
"Both teams had their aces on the mound today," Washington head coach Mark Schwartz said. "Unfortunately, we had a bad second inning. We didn't come out focused and I'll take the blame for that.
"We battled back and made it close," Schwartz said. "We had a chance, but, tip your hat to Miami Trace; they came ready to play."
The Panthers got the scoring underway in the top of the second inning before a large crowd.
Austin Mathews walked and stole second.
Gavin Taulbee walked and Dalton Mayer singled to right field, loading the bases.
An infield single by Josh Gilmore scored Mathews.
Drew Batson then walked, forcing in Taulbee to make it 2-0, Panthers.
Heath Cockerill then hit a double, scoring Mayer, Gilmore and Batson to make it 5-0.
The Panthers scored what turned out to be their final run of the game in the top of the fourth.
Gilmore led off with a single and stole second.
He went to third on a ground out by Brady Wallace and scored on a sacrifice fly by Drew Batson.
The Blue Lions got on the board in the bottom of the fourth.
Tyler Rood hit a triple and scored on a single by Kenny Arobleda.
Washington scored twice more in the fifth.
Ryan Schwartz hit a double and Jarred Hall was hit by a pitch.
Eli Ruth singled, scoring Schwartz. Hall also scored in the inning.
In the sixth, Arboleda led off with a double, went to third on a ground out by Nick Barrett and scored on a sacrifice fly by Austinn Fore.
Miami Trace is slated to play a doubleheader at Eastern Brown Saturday at 11 a.m.
Washington (5-2 overall) has a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday at home against Westfall beginning at noon.
Offensively for Miami Trace: Brady Wallace, 0-4; Drew Batson, 0-0, 1 run, 2 rbi, 1 sac fly; Cody Brightman, 1-4, roe; Heath Cockerill, 1-3, 3 rbi, 1 bb, 1 2b; Austin Brown, 0-4; Austin Mathews, 0-3, 1 run, 1 bb, fielder's choice, 1 sb; Gavin Taulbee, 0-3, 1 run, 1 bb; Dalton Mayer, 2-3, 1 run; Josh Gilmore, 1-3, 2 runs, 1 rbi, 1 sb.

The Osmonds and fans make comeback
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3065145.stm
Monday, 14 July, 2003, 14:20 GMT 15:20 UK
by Ian Youngs
BBC News Online entertainment staff
The Osmonds, the US family who became pop heartthrobs in the 1970s, are back in the spotlight after their Ultimate Collection entered the UK top five on Sunday.
It has been almost three decades since The Osmonds had their last UK hit single - but pop fans are nothing if not devoted.
When lead singer Merrill Osmond touched down in London on Wednesday to promote the CD, he was ambushed by 60 screaming women at the airport.
In their late 30s, they followed him to his hotel and were there again at 0600 when he left to go to a TV studio. At every appearance during his brief visit, they were there.
"We're talking hardcore fans," a band spokeswoman said. "Their following is still huge."
By the standards of younger pop bands - who have shelf lives of just a few years - the Osmonds' hold on fans seems mesmeric.
They may not have been fashionable since 1975, but the world's most famous Mormons have never completely gone away.
One of them pops up on stage or TV often enough to keep fans interested and - as a wholesome, clean-cut clan - they have never gone off the rails or given fans any reasons to dislike them.
Although some are greying around the edges, others have aged well and still look almost as fresh-faced as when they sung Crazy Horses on Top of the Pops. Almost.
The Ultimate Collection has been so popular that the original Osmond brothers are planning a one-off UK reunion show in 2004 - possibly with the Jackson Five.
The two musical dynasties have been negotiating for eight months but the Osmonds are holding a family meeting this week to finalise proposals - and make sure Michael will be on board.
"England has always held The Osmonds quite fondly in their hearts," the spokeswoman said. "For them, this has always been their biggest country."
The original line-up of Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny disbanded in 1980 after five UK top five hits.
Donny had greater solo success - plus hits with sister Marie - while "Little" Jimmy's legacy is seared on the nation's memory.
Since disbanding, Donny has continued to be the most popular, with a mainstream rock comeback, a healthy stint in stage musicals and a hit TV game show.
Jay, Merrill and Wayne have carried on as The Osmond Brothers, and The Osmond Family Theater in Branson, Missouri, which opened in 1992, provided a stage for a range of family members.
Younger brother Jimmy, meanwhile, has become an entrepreneur and property magnate, living by the principles of "integrity, wholesome entertainment, and hard work".
Alan, the eldest of the original five brothers, has gone behind the scenes, battling multiple sclerosis, writing wholesome children's books and founding a charity to help strengthen families.
He has also guided his eight sons, who have become The Osmonds - Second Generation.
Their latest album, I Love America, includes songs like Everyday Heroes, America United and God Bless Our Home and Families.
But today's teen pop fans have probably not played a very big part in propelling the new CD up the chart, the spokeswoman said.
And neither generation of the Osmonds - definitely not to be confused with The Osbournes - is likely to get MTV credibility.
"I'm not sure if the younger generation would go and get the album just to see what the fuss was about," she said.
"I would probably say it's hardcore fans - there's just a lot of them out there and as they've grown older, it's just a chance to reminisce about when they were young."

William Walter Dornburgh
COOPERSTOWN – William Walter Dornburgh, 87, of Cooperstown, died Sunday morning, May 26, 2019, at his home.
He was born September 26, 1931, in Jersey City, New Jersey, a son of Edmund and Elizabeth (Meehan) Dornburgh.
Bill attended Jersey City public schools, where he was high school class president. He received a BS degree in economics from Saint Peter's College in 1954, where he said the Jesuits had left an indelible Catholic mark on his life, as he put it, "warts and all". He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserves in 1951, served at Parris Island and received an Honorable Discharge in 1952. He earned an MBA in finance from Seton Hall University in 1964.
After his father died in 1936, Bill and his brothers spent summers on the family farm in Middlefield, which led to a lifelong love affair with Cooperstown. He worked summers at The Cooper Inn and The Otesaga Hotel from 1947 to 1953. During those summers he met Patricia Ann Butler, a Native Daughter of Cooperstown who became "the essence of his existence". They were married at St. Mary's "Our Lady of the Lake" Roman Catholic Church in Cooperstown in June 1954, a marriage that lasted 60 years, seven months and two days. They raised their family in Glen Ridge, New Jersey.
Bill was an officer of the Bank of New York in New York City, and was subsequently a senior vice president of UJB Financial Corporation in Princeton, New Jersey, from which he retired in 1994. He was president of UJB Leasing Corp., and had also been an adjunct assistant professor of economics at St. Peter's College for ten years. He also served as chairman of the Board of Governors of West Hudson Hospital in Kearney, New Jersey, and was a member of the Board of Directors of Accel International Corp. in Dublin, Ohio. Before he and Patricia retired to Cooperstown, he volunteered as a tutor at a Newark, New Jersey elementary school where he said he learned more that he taught.
In 1973, Bill and Patricia purchased a portion of the old Hinman/Dornburgh family farm in Middlefield, where they built a small summer cottage which they redesigned into their retirement home in 1995. They resided there until they moved into the Village of Cooperstown in 2004. They had wintered in Pinehurst, North Carolina from 1995 until 2006.
In his retirement years, Bill was an active parishioner of St. Mary's "Our Lady of the Lake" Roman Catholic Church in Cooperstown, where he served as a lector, Eucharistic Minister and a member of the finance committee. He served on the board of the Town of Middlefield Historical Association and volunteered at The Fenimore Art Museum, The Farmers' Museum and Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital. He was also president of the Glimmerglass Opera Guild and was a member of the Center for Continuing Adult Learning in Oneonta, where he taught courses in economics and political science. He also served as a director of the Otsego County Heath Facilities Corporation, which was charged with the sale of Otsego Manor, a sale to Focus that he voted against. He was an advocate for affordable housing in Cooperstown, single payer health insurance, legalization of undocumented immigrants, a married priesthood and, most of all, of civil discussion. He was also a member of the Clark F. Simmons American Legion Post No. 579 in Cooperstown.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Patricia, in 2015, who he "loved with all his heart and soul and every fiber of his being". He was very proud of their five children who survive him: Kathleen Stuart of Apex, North Carolina, Leigh Dornburgh and his wife, Paula of Elmsford, Annie Hannah of Rochester, New Hampshire, Barbara Santurri and her husband John of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and Edmund Dornburgh and his wife, Elizabeth of Arlington, Massachusetts. He is also survived by eight grandchildren and two great grandsons. He was predeceased by two brothers, Edmund in 1944, and Leigh in 1948.
Bill's full name was William Walter Joseph Dornburgh. His initials WWJD could be translated as "What Would Jesus Do?", a moral imperative by which he lived.
Friends may call and pay their respects to the Dornburgh family from 6-8 p.m. on Friday, May 31, 2019, at the Connell, Dow & Deysenroth Funeral Home in Cooperstown
The Liturgy of Christian Burial will be offered at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 1, 2019, at St. Mary's "Our Lady of the Lake" Roman Catholic Church in Cooperstown, with Fr. John P. Rosson, presiding.
The Service of Committal and Burial will follow in Lakewood Cemetery, Cooperstown, where Bill will be buried beside his beloved Patricia.
He will be greatly missed by his loving family, especially for his unending guidance and support.
In addition to flowers, the Dornburgh family respectfully requests that memorial gifts in memory of Bill be directed to Catskill Area Hospice and Palliative Care, 297 River Street Service Road, Oneonta, NY 13820.
Arrangements are under the care and guidance of the Connell, Dow & Deysenroth Funeral Home in Cooperstown.

A number of the UK's best-known businesses yesterday stepped up their commitment to reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill, signing up to two schemes designed to cut waste levels and increase UK recycling rates. The Guardian reports that Associated British Foods, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Kraft Foods, Premier Foods and Procter & Gamble joined the latest group of retail firms to sign up to the second phase of the Courtauld Commitment, a voluntary scheme run by the government that sees firms commit to meeting a series of waste-reduction targets.
Under the terms of the voluntary agreements signed between the companies and the government-backed Waste and Resource Action Programme (WRAP), firms agree that by 2012 they will have reduced the carbon impact of packaging 10%, cut household food and drink waste 4%, and cut packaging waste from the grocery supply chain 5%. The latest signatories join a host of high-profile firms in signing up to the current phase of the Courtauld Agreement, including Asda, Boots, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's and Tesco.Meanwhile, WRAP announced that two of the UK's largest construction firms - Barratt Developments and Hanson UK - have signed up to the Halving Waste to Landfill initiative, which has seen 540 firms commit to cutting the amount of waste levels by 50%.
"One of the biggest challenges society faces over the next decade is reducing the environmental impact of the things we buy and build," said Liz Goodwin, chief executive of WRAP. "These responsibility deals bring about changes that deliver both commercial and environment benefits." "Building a sustainable business is not only about protecting the environment. With it comes a leaner, more efficient business that strips out waste and saves money. The voluntary approach allows industry sectors to move as one and deliver change without government intervention." The news came as reports emerged yesterday that councils are considering limiting the number of black bags that households receive each year, and charging people extra if they exceed their waste allowance.

No Fans for You!
OnlyFans was founded in 2016 as an online social network allowing 'digital creatives' to build an audience and monetize directly with their 'Fans'. In theory this was a wonderful idea that I have supported for years. In practice however, OnlyFans has grown to 120 million subscribers by hosting – almost exclusively – 'pay-for-play' pornography. Now there's nothing illegal if one person pays another to share explicit photos or videos online – if the participants are willing and consenting adults. However, it's absolutely criminal if this content includes exploitation, underage subjects or involves incest, for example.
Sex Sells
As reported by Noel Titheradge of the BBC in OnlyFans: How it handles illegal sex videos, the evolution of OnlyFans into a porn site was not a big surprise given the loose moderation policies adopted by the company. One of the biggest problems with centralized social media sites like OnlyFans is that as a publisher, they are responsible for moderating all posts to ensure they do not publish illegal images like child pornography, prostitution or sexual exploitation.
OnlyFans apparently has a zero-tolerance policy for sexually explicit material or prostitution but their moderation and enforcement is dodgy and ineffectively applied. For example, moderators at OnlyFans report being told to issue multiple warnings to content producers who violate terms. It seems the more 'Fans the poster has and therefore the more revenue they generate, the more loosely the rules are applied. And, OnlyFans keeps 20% of all creators' revenue.
As Titheradge's article exposed, moderators who find child pornography or illegal content posted on the most popular micro-sites are directed by management to simply issue numerous warnings. If the creator still doesn't remove the offending content, instead of restricting or terminating the account, moderators should refer the matter to upper management. This is why I believe OnlyFans needs to moderate their content immaculately, or be shut down.
As a start-up entrepreneur I get it, you want to grow quickly to prove that your business plan and investors' faith was well-founded. Everyone wants to succeed including OnlyFans, but it turns out that their road to success was paved with porn.
Offering a platform where sex workers or people with a predilection for esoteric porn can safely build a community and monetize directly with their 'Fans' is actually a noble cause, and a valid business model. Like nearly all internet services, OnlyFans is a centralized, cloud-based platform, and like many, they generate revenue from every transaction. I believe they have a legal and moral duty to ensure their content moderation is state of the art and virtually instantaneous. If that's not possible, OnlyFans and similar sites should be shut down or forced to admit that they are porn sites, not social media platforms.
We've all heard the old English proverb: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. When OnlyFans determined the majority of their users were sex workers and distributors of pornography, they should have acknowledged the fact and pivoted their business model to accommodate this new reality.
OnlyFans management and investors likely didn't expect the platform to become a porn site, but it did, and it grew very fast. At that time, squeamish investors, banks and payments providers should have been informed that the company was embracing its role as a porn site to allow suppliers to sever ties with Only Fans in an orderly fashion.
Instead, OnlyFans enabled pornographers and sex workers to build a community, swelling their numbers and making investors very happy – only to turn on that very community when backers got nervous. It is not the sex workers and pornographers that got it wrong, it was OnlyFans' management.
Blaming users for the indecisiveness and ineptitude of management is no way to build a company, but it's certainly a great way to destroy one.

Beast by Paul Kingsnorth
There can be no greater confrontation with yourself than to abandon all your attachments (job, house, belongings, friends/family) and walk into the wilderness to live as a hermit. That's what the protagonist Edward Buckmaster does in Paul Kingsnorth's new novel "Beast". This short novel begins with him squatting in a broken-down shack in the West-country moors with its makeshift roof on the brink of collapsing under torrential rain storms. He's already lived here by himself for shortly over a year and does not plan to turn back. Just why he's made this radical life decision is the mystery which propels the novel as well as an enigmatic dark beast he sometimes glimpses darting through the heather-filled landscape. But this is a story more about the process of his inner spiritual/psychological quest than finding any true answers. Kingsnorth conveys this in innovative and subtle ways through his use of language and narrative format. Reading this novel feels like you're travelling on a fascinating, absorbing and sometimes terrifying journey as Edward teeters on the brink of madness and/or enlightenment.
I don't want to give anything away, but Kingsnorth gives a clue as to just how much was at stake when Edward decided to abandon everything for a solitary life. Early on in the novel, he suggests a conversation Edward had with a woman who chastises him for leaving because it means his baby girl will never know him. This immediately colours how the reader feels about Edward's self-subsistence and inward revelations. He's not a man who had nothing to lose; he's abandoned his child. Is this a brave act of rebellion against a dysfunctional civilization or a cowardly decision by a man who can't face responsibility? Will his quest lead him to a profound understanding about the world or will he tumble into ever-more complex self justifications for why he shouldn't be a part of it? These are questions only the reader can decide as she/he picks through the tangled weeks that pass as Edward traipses over the desolate landscape. Whatever his reasons are, he's resolute that this life of solitude and sacrificing all possessions/comforts is the only way toward achieving a true understanding of existence. He states "you can think for three decades and your thoughts will be worse than useless because you have not touched this thing not really. you have to live in this dimension your hands must be calloused your heart scarred or what are you."
Edward's act of fanaticism is akin to some saints and mystics who equally abandon everything for a life of solitude. He references some early on and knows well how they tread the fine line between great seers and madmen. Usually when people seek deeper spiritual understanding they turn to religion which is something that Edward emphatically rejects. He states "We built a world of alters because we could never put the mystery into words." But he believes these temples and churches have only served as approximations for finding the meaning of existence. What's needed is to face the stripped down and barren fact of life in the hermetic way he's chosen: "Nothingness extends itself emptiness moves and when you stare into it things happen to you." The things that happen to Edward are predictable in some respects. He goes through bouts of intense desire for what he's abandoned: food, cleanliness, sex, companionship. His mood careens from serenity to outright violence. Mixed with these desperate moments of longing are glimpses of seeming revelation for seeing the world as a primitive landscape based on survival: "For a moment the world cracked open and I saw myself as the wild creature I was as one caged a wild creature among billions as atoms as meat as animal as prey." The beast he encounters could be a manifestation of this inner creature or it might be a more insidious force that's stalking him.
Those who read Paul Kingsnorth's much lauded novel "The Wake" might have been intimidated by the book's use of the author's version of Old English. I had a go at it, but quickly felt puzzled so put it aside vowing to go back to it again (unsurprisingly, I haven't yet). There is no such trouble with understanding the language in "Beast" – but getting at just what Kingsnorth means by this convoluted soul-searching quest will be confusing. And rightly so! He's asking questions rather than posing answers with this fascinating story. However, the author also uses subtle variations in his style and his composition of language over the course of the novel. Gradually grammar breaks down. Tense bends as time is warped. The first person narrator eventually changes his tone from a proud capital I to a lower case i. At a few points, the narrative breaks off completely mid-sentence only to pick up again after a couple blank pages to find him in another place. Language itself becomes an inadequate vehicle for what he's trying to convey: "It is so hard to put into words into these clumsy words that say nothing." The scenes become increasingly hallucinatory as the story progresses so in one paragraph he'll be hiking over the moors and in another he'll be wandering through "slums" with "barefoot black children" who encourage him to jump naked into a freezing lake or he'll appear on the wing of a plane that's plummeting the ground. Whether these are fantasies, delusions or visions of another time and place are debatable. Whatever their meaning, I found his journey fascinating just to see what bizarre things Edward would encounter next and where his logic would take him.
It's interesting thinking about this book in relation to other novels such as Evie Wyld's "All the Birds, Singing" which similarly features a recluse – in this case, a sheep farmer who lives on her own on an island. Similarly, there is a mysterious and threatening something prowling about her land (and killing some of her sheep). It's not surprising that someone living on their own would be prone to fear of attack as they are relatively defenceless without the support of a larger civilization. Confronting this fear or demon might mean only overcoming psychological obstacles which cause that fear in the first place. Equally, it's interesting to consider "Beast" in relations to Kazuo Ishiguro's most recent novel "The Buried Giant". Instead of a lone journey, his novel features an older couple on a quest through a seemingly medieval landscape to find their son. The threat comes in this case from what has been buried and forgotten: a giant. Similarly, Edward encounters mythical beings which function both as real physical threats and manifestations of his subconscious. He proclaims "Yes there were giants in the Earth it was all real all of it." It's as if there is an inversion of reality as we know it so fairy tales are true and our tangible existence is false. In doing so, Kingsnorth and these other authors force us to question everything that we take for granted.
The compelling question at the heart of this novel is whether Edward's solitary practice actually leads him to greater knowledge or total despair. He is absolutely convinced that "There has to be a secret." But I wonder if there really is a secret? Maybe there is no mystery to the deep questions Edward prods through his rigorous rejection of everyone and everything. Maybe he's living the most honest existence possible. Or maybe he's a coward. This is a dilemma that Kingsnorth artfully poses in this accomplished and compelling novel.

                                dataMap.put(headerList.get(j), NumberToTextConverter.toText(dataCell.getNumericCellValue()));
                            }
                        }
                        else if(dataCell.getCellType()==CellType.BOOLEAN)
                        {
                            //arrList.add(Boolean.toString(dataCell.getBooleanCellValue()));
                            dataMap.put(headerList.get(j), Boolean.toString(dataCell.getBooleanCellValue()));
                        }
                        else
                            dataMap.put(headerList.get(j), null);
                        j++;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

If there is no data in any cell then I do not want the corresponding header to be added in the Map. But when I iterate through the Data cells(dataCells.hasNext()), then the iterator does not return me null for that blank cell, instead it totally skips the Blank cell. So all headers are added but those cells where is no data are not added hence there is mismatch of Header-Data key-values.
Example: If data cell of Column 5 is blank then, "Value" of the column 5 header is mapped with the value of Data Column 6 as "Key-Value" in the HashMap. What I want is column 5 header should be skipped being added to the Map when column 5 data is blank.  How do I resolve this logical mismatch issue?

Big Ten's best defenses come out of spring in rebuild mode
Coordinator changes and heavy player personnel losses made it a spring of uncertainty for the top Big Ten defenses.
Start with Wisconsin, which has been in the national top five in total defense three straight years and lower than that just twice since 2014. The Badgers must replace eight of their top 10 tacklers.
Penn State, in the top 10 in scoring defense three of the last five seasons, has a new coordinator in Manny Diaz. The former Miami coach spent the spring fitting pieces together to compensate for the loss of as many as six players who could be drafted.
Defending conference champion Michigan, coming off its first College Football Playoff appearance, hired Jesse Minter as its coordinator after Mike Macdonald left after one year for the Baltimore Ravens. Minter must replace seven starters, including possible No. 1 draft pick Aidan Hutchinson.
Ohio State also is retooling its defense after it got exposed early last season against Oregon and again in a 42-27 loss to Michigan. Coordinator Kerry Coombs was fired and Jim Knowles, who excelled as Oklahoma State's coordinator, was hired and began installing a 4-2-5 scheme.
"The biggest revelation of the spring was that regardless of talent, these players that we have, they want to learn. They soaked up everything I did," Knowles said. "They're just into it; into football, into us, into culture change and the way we run meetings. They picked it up. I mean, they picked it up at a high speed."
QUARTERBACK QUANTITY
There is plenty of starting quarterback experience around the league. Ten of the top 11 passers return, including the top three — C.J. Stroud of Ohio State, Aidan O'Connell of Purdue and Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland.
Six teams, at most, are exploring their options.
New Indiana offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Walt Bell will continue auditioning Missouri transfer Connor Bazelak, Jack Tuttle and Donaven McCulley in preseason practice.
Iowa, which won the West despite having one of the least productive offenses in the nation, opened up the competition between Spencer Petras and Alex Padilla.
Syracuse transfer Tommy DeVito stood out in Illinois' spring game but will be pushed in the preseason when Artur Sitkowski returns from injury. Ryan Hilinski is first in line at Northwestern, though he had some shaky performances last season.
With J.J. McCarthy still recovering from a shoulder injury, an expected competition at Michigan didn't materialize between him and incumbent Cade McNamara.
At Nebraska, all signs point to Texas transfer Casey Thompson taking over for Adrian Martinez, the four-year starter who transferred to Kansas State.
NEXT WALKER?
Kenneth Walker III was a revelation right away for Michigan State, running 75 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage in the opener against Northwestern. The Wake Forest transfer went on to lead the Big Ten in rushing and win the Doak Walker Award.
With Walker gone, the Spartans are hoping to have similar results with another transfer, either Jalen Berger or Jarek Broussard.
Berger was Wisconsin's leading rusher in 2020 before he lost his job to Braelon Allen and was dismissed from the team a month into the 2021 season.
Berger appears to have come out of spring No. 1 on the depth chart, but more competition in one the way. Broussard is scheduled to arrive next month from Colorado, where he was Pac-12 offensive player of the year in 2020 and received All-Pac 12 honorable mention last year.
GOPHER HOLES
Sixth-year center John Michael Schmitz is Minnesota's only returning starter from a unit that led the country with 235 combined career starts and is expected to produce multiple draft picks.
Line coach Brian Callahan began the rebuild this spring. Two transfers will figure prominently, with guard Chuck Filiaga from Michigan and tackle Quinn Carroll from Notre Dame.
Alex Ruschmeyer, who can play guard and tackle, is the second-most experienced lineman behind Schmitz. Tackle Aireontae Ersery might have the highest ceiling.
"Brian Callahan is one of the best developers of talent when we're talking about offensive line play and if there is anybody who needs a challenge like that, Brian Callahan can nail it and crush it," coach P.J. Fleck said.
2022 SEASON OPENERS
The season opens Aug. 27 with Nebraska playing Northwestern at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, and Wyoming visiting Illinois.
Other openers: Sept. 1, Penn State at Purdue; New Mexico State at Minnesota; Sept. 2, Illinois at Indiana; Western Michigan at Michigan State; Sept. 3, Notre Dame at Ohio State; South Dakota State at Iowa; Rutgers at Boston College; Buffalo at Maryland; Colorado State at Michigan; Illinois State at Wisconsin.
Notable: Nebraska was supposed to play Illinois in Ireland last year but the trip was canceled because of the pandemic. ... The Illini get only five days between their first and second games.

Most Excellent Shore Diving Reviews of Dave R.!
Click the Average for the complete review!
This is a nice dive, especially for a family or novice divers. This was the second time we dove here, the first was 2005. While not a 'shore dive' if you go to the K of P park in Dunnellon you can rent a canoe. We got three divers, myself, wife and daughter and all out gear into one canoe. Paddle 1 to 1.5 miles upstream, put your flag in the canoe and drift back. Be sure to surface and check for the park from time to time so you don't pass it. The viz was in the 75-100 ft range. Bring a camera. Lots of eel grass beds, gar, etc.. Look for sand boils and larger spring outflows. The west side is built up, homes, etc. The east side is undeveloped. A few recommendations. Put on a 2mm wet suit before getting into the canoe (no wet suit and you will get cold by the end of the dive). If pulling out on the east side to gear up, select your site carefully. There are some good spots but watch for sunken roots and fire ants.

Rock Scaling is the removal of loose rock on the high slopes and cliffs situated above roads and railways, to reduce the risk of debris falling onto people below. The PMX and PME ascenders are preferred for this work as the remote locations usually have limited electricity available.
Expert rope access teams have been using ActSafe ascenders for over 10 years to access areas where regular cranes cannot reach. They also use a variety of customised tools which present further challenges in getting them up to the work locations. These include pressurised air cushions and drilling equipment. The steep slopes are also stabilized by rock bolting, pinning or the installation of wire mesh. The ActSafe ascenders are used to winch this material up and into position. Each petrol ascender can haul up to 250kg, and a full tank of petrol allows a 100kg load to be lifted 750m vertically.
Check out #actsafe on Instagram for more examples!
ActSafe operate an open communication policy with distributors and end users regarding safety alerts, information and correct use of ActSafe ascenders.

Fork me on GitHub

Taggle.js

    Form-ready, Delicious style tagging made easy.

        Github

Example 1 - Creating a basic Taggle

                This example is as simple as it gets. Duplicate tags are prevented by default. You can also delete tags by pressing backspace or hovering and clicking with your mouse.

HTML:

JavaScript:

new Taggle('example1');

Example 2 - Prefilled tags

It's easy to prepopulate the text field as well. Just pass an array of tags as displayed below.

HTML:

JavaScript:

new Taggle('example2', {
    tags: ['These', 'are', 'prefilled', 'tags']
});

Example 3 - Duplicate tag alert

This example takes advantage of how much CSS control Taggle.js allows you to have. Specify your own duplicate CSS class by using the duplicateTagClass option. Try entering one of the already existing tags to see a subtle alert notifying you of the tag.

Note: the bounce animation happens as a result of the css class being added. Not javascript. Therefore you will not see the animation in IE9 and below.

HTML:

JavaScript:

new Taggle('example3', {
    tags: ['Try', 'entering', 'one', 'of', 'these', 'tags'],
    duplicateTagClass: 'bounce'
});

Example 4 - Autocomplete

Taggle.js just provides the basic functionality to add tags to a field but it also provides a basic API so you can wrap it for additional functionality with other libraries such as jQueryUI Autocomplete. Same HTML. Just a little bit more javascript code.

HTML:

JavaScript:

var example4 = new Taggle('example4');
var container = example4.getContainer();
var input = example4.getInput();

$(input).autocomplete({
    source: faux,
    appendTo: container,
    position: { at: "left bottom", of: container },
    select: function(event, data) {
        event.preventDefault();
        //Add the tag if user clicks
        if (event.which === 1) {
            example4.add(data.item.value);
        }
    }
});

Example 5 - onBeforeTagAdd/onTagAdd & onBeforeTagRemove/onTagRemove

Want to hook into before a tag is added or removed? Okay. Want to call a callback function after a tag has been added or removed? Fine.

 I'm using innerHTML for simplicity however you should look into innerText or textContent depending on what browser you're supporting.

HTML:

JavaScript:

var text = document.getElementById('example5-event');

// Make sure to return true or false in onBeforeTagAdd and onBeforeTagRemove
new Taggle('example5', {
    onBeforeTagAdd: function(event, tag) {
        return confirm('You really wanna add ' + tag + '?');
    },
    onTagAdd: function(event, tag) {
        text.innerHTML = 'You just added ' + tag;
    },
    onBeforeTagRemove: function(event, tag) {
        return confirm('You really wanna remove ' + tag + '?');
    },
    onTagRemove: function(event, tag) {
        text.innerHTML = 'You just removed ' + tag;
    }
});

Example 6 - add / remove

You can programatically add and remove tags as well.

HTML:

JavaScript:

var taggle = new Taggle('example6');

taggle.add('one');
taggle.add(['two', 'three', 'four', 'four', 'five', 'five']);
taggle.remove('five');
taggle.remove('four', true);

Example 7a - Allowed tags

Sometimes you'll want to restrict the users to adding only certain tags.

HTML:

JavaScript:

var taggle = new Taggle('example7a', {
    placeholder: 'Type your favorite type of juice... (hint: orange)',
    allowDuplicates: true,
    allowedTags: ['orange']
});

Example 7b - Disallowed tags

Conversely, you'll want to restrict the users from adding certain tags.

HTML:

JavaScript:

var taggle = new Taggle('example7b', {
    placeholder: 'Type your favorite type of juice... (hint: apple)',
    allowDuplicates: true,
    disallowedTags: ['apple']
});

Misc - Tags around the web

        Tag fields can be really useful because it makes it easy for your users to provide the type of data values you need without having to worry about if they submitted values with trailing spaces, extra commas, etc.

        As you can see below, it's easy to style Taggle.js with just a little bit of css.

Delicious

Stack Overflow

Options

                    additionalTagClasses: [String='']

                    By default a class of taggle will be assigned to each tag. If you need more, add them in one string separated by spaces.

                    allowDuplicates: [Boolean=false]

                    Set to true if you want to allow duplicate tags to be entered in the taggle field.

                    preserveCase: [Boolean=false]

                    Set to true if you want to allow tags to retain case as entered in the taggle field (lowercased by default).

                    saveOnBlur: [Boolean=false]

                    Allow the saving of a tag on blur, rather than it being removed by default.

                    duplicateTagClass: [String='']

                    The class name that will be set onto duplicate tag.

                    containerFocusClass: [String='active']

                    This will be the class added to the taggle field div when focused.

                    focusInputOnContainerClick: [Boolean=true]

                    If true then input will be focused when container receives a click event.

                    hiddenInputName: [String='taggles[]']

                    Since a hidden input is appended for each tag added, you might need a name for them when submitting to the server.

                    placeholder: [String='Enter tags...']

                    A placeholder.

                    submitKeys: [188, 9, 13]

                    Keycodes that will add a tag. Comma, Tab, and Enter are the recommended and default keyCodes.

                    tabIndex: [Number=1]

                    If your taggle field is within a form, it might be useful to specify a tabIndex so that a user can still tab through form fields like normal.

                    tags: [Array=[]]

                    These will be the tags that should be preloaded in the taggle field when the plugin loads.

                    allowedTags: [Array=[]]

                    Tags that the user will be restricted to.

                    tagFormatter(element)

                    Hook fired before the tag li element is appended to the DOM. This gives the author a chance to edit the list item before it is added. Must return an li element.

                    onBeforeTagAdd(event, tag)

                    Hook fired before a tag is added. Provides the event and tag text. Return false to prevent the tag from being added.

                    onBeforeTagRemove(event, tag)

                    Hook fired before a tag is removed. Provides the event and tag text. Return false to prevent the tag from being removed.

                    onTagAdd(event, tag)

                    Callback fired whenever a tag is added. Provides the event and tag text.

                    onTagRemove(event, tag)

                    Callback fired whenever a tag is removed. Provides the event and tag text.

Cannabis kills cancer. However, decades of negative propaganda against this plant medicine still influences the way many people look at it, and it's often compared to tobacco when considering its effect on human health. There is no doubt tobacco causes lung cancer, as well as many other chronic and deadly illness, yet it is still available everywhere while people are being locked up for using a plant that heals.
This is worth repeating: cannabis can stop lung cancer. Furthermore, Dr. Donald Tashkin, professor emeritus of medicine at UCLA, points out that while tar from cannabis smoke has a higher concentration of cancer-causing materials than tobacco smoke, there seems to be no correlation between inhalation of cannabis smoke into the lungs and the development of lung cancer, which is the opposite for tobacco.
Another important finding regarding the effect of cannabis on pulmonary health is that there appears to be no causal link between smoking cannabis and the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a "collection of lung diseases including chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive airways disease." COPD is the most common cause of death from tobacco smoke.
Interesting indeed, and perplexing enough to warrant a closer look at the positive effects of other ingredients in cannabis smoke, namely cannibidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound known to have many health benefits.
Decades of pulmonary research is in: pot decreases the risk of lung cancer and does not cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and, it is an effective treatment for many types of cancer, including lung cancer. Without question, tobacco smoking is dangerous to lung health and can cause cancer, yet cannabis remains stigmatized by public perception and the law.

Koito Seats Update: Three Eva Air Boeing 777-300ERs At Paine Field Going into Service
By David Parker Brown
Eva Air Boeing 777-300ER (B-16715) about ready to take off from Paine Field on its delivery flight on Sunday.
Back in July I looked into why three brand new Eva Air Boeing 777's were just sitting at Paine Field. It turned out they had issues with their Koito seats. Well, "issues" might be an understatement. Turns out not only were the seat's safety in question, but also Koito's certification process. So much so there was talk of an air worthiness directive from the FAA to ban the seats in the US.
Boeing and Eva Air has been silent with how these three Boeing 777's were going to get seats. Last week the aircraft, which has been parked next to the Paine Field tower for months, were moved, prepped and started to take customer test flights (photo of B-16717). Then yesterday, the first of the three Boeing 777's took its delivery flight to Taiwan (photo). Of course, the big question was what seats are inside the aircraft?
Eva Air obviously doesn't want to say too much since I am guessing they will take legal action against Koito. Boeing has been staying pretty quiet as well, since they have a policy not to discuss their customers. However, I have been able to confirm that the seats in the aircraft are from Koito.
Beverly Holland with Boeing Communications explained to me that, "Koito Industries works directly with our airline customers. Ever since this issue came to our attention, we have been working closely with our customers who have purchased the seats to make sure the seats are fully compliant to Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) and FAA regulations."
As reported previously, if the JCAB certifies a seat, the FAA also certifies them through a US/Japan bilateral agreement. Boeing has had a team in Japan helping to make sure the seats are able to become certified. Holland did confirm, "Boeing is committed to helping our customers through this situation."
Speaking with an Eva PR consultant Mary Graybill, she confirmed that the airline is working with Koito and Boeing to have the seats installed at Paine Field. She wasn't able to confirm when the aircraft will officially be delivered, but did say that, "all three will be used to serve long-haul and regional routes, in rotation with the B777s EVA is already operating." By chance of luck, I was at Paine Field on Sunday when I got an email alert stating a Boeing 777 filed a flight plan. Turned out to be one of the Eva Air Boeing 777's (B-16715) being picked up by Eva pilots and flown to Taiwan. Due to heavy fog, the flight was delayed, but did take off at 2:35pm.
So are the seats safe in the Eva Boeing 777's? Yes, I think so. Even though Boeing and Eva won't talk much about what they have done, I would assume that neither would allow the airplanes to transport passengers if they haven't verified the safety of the seats. It is great for Eva to make money using these Boeing 777's, but it is disappointing they won't be parked at Paine Field to spot anymore. At least Paine Field is quickly filling up with other Boeing airplanes to provide plenty of eye candy.

Q: The UI menu provided by my Eclipse plugin fragment is missing. How do I determine why? I've been creating a plug-in fragment in Eclipse 2019-06. When I test it by spawning a secondary runtime Eclipse application, the desired "Generate JUnit Tests" menu item appears.

I then created a plugin following the directions in the Plug-in Development Environment Guide and copied the jar (JunitGenerationFragment 1.0.0.201908210930.jar) into my Eclipse dropins directory.
I started Eclipse like so:
eclipse -clean -console -consoleLog -debug .options

where my .options file contains:
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/debug=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/reconciler=true

Eclipse starts up, but without my menu item.  When I look in the log file for my workspace, I see no mention of "JUnitGenerationFragment", however, I do see things in the console window pertaining to the fragment:
[p2] Wed Aug 21 09:42:48 EDT 2019 - [Start Level: Equinox Container: 1a59d098-9074-4562-b6a2-2280982401d7] [reconciler] [dropins] Interesting feature or bundle added: C:\Tools\Eclipse\jee-2019-06\eclipse\dropins\JunitGenerationFragment_1.0.0.201908210930.jar

As near as I can tell, everything looks good.  (Well, except for having no menu item.)  I then try seeing if there is an obvious problem via the osgi console:
osgi> diag JunitGenerationFragment
JunitGenerationFragment [3]
  No resolution report for the bundle.

I'm not sure what that means or what to do about it.  The only other piece of potentially diagnostic information I can provide is that the JUnitGenerationFragment shows up in my Plug-ins list of the IDE, but has a different icon than the others.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to further diagnose and fix my problem!

A: The first thing I attempted was to use the org.eclipse.ui.startup extention point so it is activated on startup, following the advice on this posting.  That didn't solve my problem.
I discovered the Plug-in Registry view, which is reachable via Window -> Show View -> Other, then, in the Show View dialog, choosing Plug-in Development -> Plug-in Registry.  I right-clicked on my plug-in and selected Diagnose.

I got the following report:

I edited the Dependencies in my META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to use a different version of org.eclipse.jdt.junit.
Finally, I took a belated look at my Problems pane.  Among the many warnings that I typically ignore, was one pertaining to my problem:

Mea culpa.  I updated my build.properties to include fragment.xml:
source.. = src/
output.. = bin/
bin.includes = META-INF/, ., fragment.xml

Now, I can install my plug-in fragment and get my menu.

Wilshere 'No.10' rather than Ramsey 'Wannabe 10' could be a better link to Ozil 'At 10'
Andrea Rosati • Clock End Italia
Back and ready
Brilliantly inspired by Dave's blog about Jack Wilshere (by the way: it's not Wiltshere, it's not Wilshire, it's Wilshere. The number of times his name is misspelled is appalling), I started thinking about how our former academy gem could actually re-build his career at the Arsenal.
Our man has quite some way to go after a rather disappointing campaign with Bournemouth, our next opponent in the league, but definitely has the technical ability to compete with the likes of Mohamed Elneny, Francis Coquelin and Aaron Ramsey for a place alongside Granit Xhaka – the only midfielder guaranteed a place in our starting XI.
Of course his fragile body is an issue and so is his attitude, off the pitch but also on the pitch, however the main hurdle in his race to reignite his Arsenal career is Arsène Wenger – the man who gave him his chance as a teenager.
Jack's 1st Partner in 1st team
Initially deployed on the wings, Jack Wilshere soon became a mainstay in the Arsenal's operation centre and delivered some brilliant performances alongside Alex Song – before minor and major injuries brutally stopped his growth.
Was he overplayed? Did everything come too much, too soon? Possibly yes but that's not something I'm interested in, great players often play a lot since a very young age and a reliable body is part of the tools required to become a true great, in any sports.
Since Jack Wilshere early days at the Club, though, things have changed a lot on and off the pitch: the old 4-2-3-1 formation has been binned in favour of the sexier 3-4-3 system and the constant presence of both Mesut Özil and Aaron Ramsey – whose performances do not seem to influence the manager's decision-making process – make it difficult for another creator to find a place in our starting XI.
The German has always been untouchable for Arsène Wenger, his main man in midfield, his creator-in-chief and his role was never questioned – and never is; the former Cardiff man isn't immune from the occasional demotion to the bench but Arsène Wenger has been trying to play him in any position one can imagine, often sacrificing the team's balance to fit him in.
Aaron Ramsey potentially is a great player but he looks like he wants to be the main man, the central hub and eventually what Frank Lampard was to Chelsea: the free-roaming, all-round midfielder who has total freedom on the pitch.
Now, it's one or the other – it's evident.
Worked well in 2014
The pair worked very well during the German's debut season, when Aaron Ramsey was playing next to Mikel Arteta or Mathieu Flamini, with Mesut Özil as a classic #10. The Welshman enjoyed his best season in terms of goals scored and built a true understanding with his illustrious teammate, often combining in small spaces or providing those incisive runs that Mesut Özil loves to pick with a pinpointed pass.
Everything was good, Mesut Özil's form eventually dipped towards the end of his first taste of the exhausting English football season but he still finished with 13 assists and 7 goals to his name, while Aaron Ramsey scored 16 goals and assisted his teammates on 9 occasions.
Most importantly, the Arsenal won the FA Cup against Hull City, breaking the infamous nine-years drought every paper, website, pundit and fan was laughing about.
Then, something changed: the hungry, combative, solidary Aaron Ramsey made room for a more selfish and less tactically-disciplined midfielder, who kept pushing forward to create chances – for himself more than for others – but systematically forgot to have a look at the shape of the team behind it; whether it happened because of Arsène Wenger's instructions and tactically-naïve approach or for his own decision, it broke a rather fluent system. The same can be said for Mesut Özil, who surely has his own unbelievable qualities and his very own style of play but did very little to prove doubters wrong; often marginalised by his opponents or even his teammates, the German suffered from the evident lack of shape of the team but didn't show any sign of rebellion – something he will always be criticized for.
No longer the team player?
We are now at a stage where we have a proper battle to be the Arsenal's very own #10, with the legitimate although inconsistent Mesut Özil facing the rampant Aaron Ramsey, whose physical approach surely suits English fans and media more than Özil's languid, introverted style.
Curiously enough, neither of them wears the #10 on the back of their shirt and this is where the Arsenal's proper #10 could come to the rescue. More inclined to sit back and play in a deeper position, Jack Wilshere might be a decent candidate to bring dynamism to our game and create a link between Granit Xhaka and Mesut Özil. He is also technically more gifted and definitely more adventurous than Mohamed Elneny, he could cover a lot of pitch alongside the Swiss and provide better passing options for his teammates, something that the Egyptian struggles to offer.
It's all about accepting to play for the team more than for himself and accept the fact that the spotlights will reach other people but it is likely to be the only way back for Jack Wilshere.
Could Wilshere be the alternative Xhaka partner to Ramsey (Getty Image AFC Sturat Macfarlane)
While Aaron Ramsey is a midfielder who dreams to be a #10, Jack Wilshere is a #10 who never hid his desire to play deeper and influence the game from the back; on paper, he looks like a win-win situation for the player, the Club and the team but the reality might hit very hard, very fast.
Jack Wilshere is injury prone, he's left-footed exactly like Granit Xhaka and Mesut Özil and his fitness levels might not be at the standard required to be a regular presence in our midfield; most importantly, Jack Wilshere doesn't seem to be included in Arsène Wenger's holy circle anymore and that might prove to be the most difficult of any hurdles he will face.
Anyone outside that circle is destined to leave, soon or late, and no player has crawled back from there.
Good luck, Jacky Boy.

Andrea, my views on Jack are well recorded. i loved him before it became clear that serious injuries have robbed him of his talent. I don`t think he will ever be the same. The real weakness in the team due to injuries is the loss of Santi Cazorla.
Realistically, he is not likely to come back at his age. Two players of the class of Jack and Santi don`t come along too often and Wenger does not seem to be looking for that type of player.
AndreaR September 13, 2017 at 6:36 am #
Hi Victor, thanks for sharing your thoughts and forgive me for the delay in my response.
I believe Jack Wilshere has a lot to do to get back to his best and he will surely face a lot of hurdles in doing that but I believe he can still succeed in his comeback.
Injuries cannot rob you of your talent, they can undermine your fitness and your trust but not your footballing skills; as Arsène Wenger said once, "form is temporary, class is permanent".
He's not 26 yet, time is still on his side.
Jack Wilshere will surely need to change his way of playing and listen to his body a bit more, it will be his main mission if he wants to succeed; he needs to forget the player he was and focus on the player he could be: more composed, less impetuous, more passing and less running with the ball.
If he manages to work on his fitness and adjust his football to his new body, he will be a great addition to the team. He's miles ahead of Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny already, with the good mindset and some minutes in his legs he can really challenge Aaron Ramsey for a starting place. Many thought the Welshman would never come back but he did, Jack Wilshere can do the same.
About Santi Cazorla, well, I couldn't agree more: there's no one else like him and we missed him, a lot.

Q: Scala implicit conversion not doing on sutiable target I want Map to be implicit converted to java.utils.Properties.
implicit def map2Properties(map: Map[String, String]): Properties =
  map.foldLeft(new java.util.Properties) { case (p, (k, v)) => p.put(k, v); p }

val properties :Properties = Option(Map[String,String]("k"->"v")).getOrElse(Map[String, String]())

Error:(7, 82) type mismatch;
 found   : Object
 required: java.util.Properties

I got Map[String,String]() being converted first, so I got Object type in return.
Why not it to convert the both Map in Option and orElse together or convert the expression lazily in the end ?
How can I do to get it return Properties approprietly?

A: I am not exactly sure why the scala compiler cannot find the conversion for your Map. But I suspect it has something to do with (maybe) erasure and the signature of Option.getOrElse:
def getOrElse[B >: A](default: => B): B

The result is not necessarily the same type as the original option because it could also be a super type like Map[Any, Any].
There are several options how to work around this limitation:
Tell the compiler the result type of getOrElse explicitly:
val properties2: Properties = Option(Map[String,String](("k","v"))).getOrElse(Map.empty[String, String]): Map[String, String]

Use an intermediate step to tell the compiler that the option should contain Properties:
val propOpt: Option[Properties] = Option(Map[String,String](("k","v")))
val properties3: Properties = propOpt.getOrElse(Map.empty[String, String])

// or
val properties4: Properties = (Option(Map[String,String](("k","v"))): Option[Properties]).getOrElse(Map.empty[String, String])

// OR, shortest so far:
val properties5: Properties = Option(Map[String,String](("k","v")): Properties).getOrElse(Map.empty[String, String])

A: Something weird is going on with implicit conversion and return type of getOrElse.
However, this works:
   Option(Map[String,String](("k","v"))).fold(Map[String,String]())(identity)

and so does this
   Option(Map[String,String](("k","v"))).getOrElse[Map[String,String]](Map())

Interbankmarknad är begreppet för bankernas utlåning till varandra. Behovet och incitamentet för denna typ av intern långivning beror dels på att banker då och då har ett underskott i likvida medel, och dels på att andra banker då och då har ett överskott på likvida medel och som de vill få snabb avkastning på.
