\section{Introduction}
Many combinatorial optimisation problems arising in practical applications are notoriously hard to solve with classical methods \cite{Garey1979}.  Recently, quantum annealers have been considered as potentially faster alternatives for finding solutions to this class of problems in different domains. For example, in logistics they have been employed for job shop scheduling \cite{Venturelli2015}, traffic flow optimisation \cite{Neukart2017, Stollenwerk2017, Inoue2020}, and airport gate assignment \cite{Stollenwerk2018}. In telecommunications quantum annealers have been used for satellite coverage~\cite{Bass2018}, and in chemistry for protein folding \cite{Perdomo-Ortiz2012}. In finance, use cases range from portfolio optimisation \cite{Venturelli2019, Cohen2020} to prediction of financial crashes \cite{Ding2019}.

Finding Hamiltonian cycles, i.e. cycles that visit each vertex exactly once, is another type of combinatorial optimisation problem having several applications, for example in kidney and lung exchange \cite{Constantino2013, Luo2015, Anderson2015}, house allocation~\cite{Abdulkadiroglu1999}, branch selection for cadets \cite{Sonmez2013}, and, more generally, good exchange \cite{Fang2016}. However, so far quantum annealers have not been used to solve these problems.  Here, we consider the partitioning of a directed graph into subgraphs containing Hamiltonian cycles.  More specifically, we focus on the case where the cycle length is required to be  at least three, which makes the problem NP-complete \cite{Garey1979}. This problem is also known as the vertex 3-cycle cover decision problem for directed graphs (3-DCC) \cite{Blaser2001}.

For solving the problem on the quantum annealer, we cast its cost function and the corresponding constraints as a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimisation (QUBO) problem.  We consider graphs containing disjoint cycles and random edges added and we analyse the probability of finding a vertex 3-cycle cover in a single run on the quantum annealer as a function of the size of the input graph as well as the number of edges added. We find solutions for input graphs up to 4000 vertices and 5200 edges, close to the number of physical working qubits available on the quantum annealer. We find that the dependence of the probability on the system size is stronger when the relative number of random edges added is higher, while it does not depend on the  length of the cycles in the input graph.

This paper is structured as follows. In Sec. \ref{sec_problem} we introduce the relevant definitions and formally define the problem.
In Sec. \ref{sec_qubo_formulation} we show the procedure used to rewrite the problem as a QUBO. In Sec. \ref{sec_implementation_quantum_annealer} we describe the quantum annealing protocol and the procedure used to test the solutions found. In Sec. \ref{sec_results} we present the results obtained with D-Wave Advantage quantum annealer. In Sec. \ref{outlook} we outline possible future developments.

\section{The problem}
\label{sec_problem}
The complexity of the problem of partitioning a graph into Hamiltonian subgraphs strongly depends on the constraints imposed on the size of the subgraphs considered. For example, when no conditions are imposed on the size of the subgraphs, standard matching techniques find a partition in polynomial time~\cite{Edmonds2003}. However, when the subgraphs of the partition are required to have a cardinality greater than or equal to $K$, with $K\geq3$, the problem becomes NP-complete~\cite{Garey1979}. In this paper we consider the $K=3$ problem, that can be formulated as follows: \textit{given a directed graph without self-loops $G = (V,E)$ where $V$ is the set of vertices and $E$ the set of edges, can the vertices be partitioned into disjoint sets $V_1$, $V_2$,  ..., $V_k$ for some $k$ such that each $V_i$ contains at least three vertices and induces a subgraph $G$ that contains a Hamiltonian cycle?}

Figure~\ref{cycles} illustrates the problem for a graph composed of a set of $N_V = 7$ vertices $V = \{1, \dots, 7\}$, and $N_E = 11$ edges $E = \{(1,2), (2,5),(2,6), (3,4), (4,3), (4,7), (5,1), (5,6), (6,3), \\ (6,7), (7,6)\}$  (Fig.~\ref{cycles}a).
A solution exists for this graph because it does have a partition into Hamiltonian subgraphs with one cycle of length three $V_1 = \{1, 2, 5\}$,  and one cycle of length four $V_2 = \{3, 4, 6, 7\}$ (Fig.~\ref{cycles}b). We stress that, since the problem requires the cycle length to be at least three, the cycles of length two do not appear in the solution.

This problem can be tackled by associating to each edge $(i, j) \in E$ a binary variable $x_{ij}\in\{0,1\}$, that equals 1 when vertices $i$ and $j$ are connected in the solution (see green arrows in Fig.~\ref{cycles}b), 0 otherwise. We note that since the number $N_E$  of existing edges is in general smaller than the number $N_V(N_V-1)$ of possible edges among all the vertices, associating variables $x_{ij}$  only to the existing edges makes the  size of the problem as small as possible.

One can then formulate the problem as:
\begin{equation}
\label{max}
\text{maximise} \sum_{ij} x_{ij}
\end{equation}
subject to the following constraints:
\begin{gather}
\label{no_open_cycles}
\sum_{ij} x_{ij} = N_V, \\
\label{max_one_out}
\sum_j x_{ij}  \le 1 \;\;\; \forall \, i  \in V, \\
\label{max_one_in}
\sum_i x_{ij} \le 1 \;\;\; \forall \, j \in V, \\
\label{no_pairs}
x_{ij}+x_{ji}  \le 1   \;\;\; \forall \,  (i, j), (j, i) \in E.
\end{gather}

Constraint \eqref{no_open_cycles} guarantees that the number of edges is equal to the number of vertices. Constraint \eqref{max_one_out} guarantees that for every vertex there is no more than one outgoing  edge, likewise does constraint~\eqref{max_one_in} for the ingoing edges.  Constraints   \eqref{no_open_cycles}-\eqref{max_one_in} guarantee that the solution will be a partition into Hamiltonian subgraphs. Finally, constraint \eqref{no_pairs} ensures that two vertices can be connected to each other by maximum one edge, meaning that cycles of length two are forbidden.

\section{QUBO formulation}
\label{sec_qubo_formulation}
The optimisation problem described by Eqs.~\eqref{max}-\eqref{no_pairs} can be rewritten using the QUBO formalism, which is suitable for a quantum annealer \cite{glover2019tutorial}. In the QUBO formalism we look for a configuration $\mathbf{x}$, where $\mathbf{x}$ is a vector with components    $x_{ij}$, that minimizes the following cost function:
\begin{equation}\label{eqn_qubo_cost}
J(\mathbf{x}) = F(\mathbf{x})  + P(\mathbf{x}).
\end{equation}

The first term of Eq.~\eqref{eqn_qubo_cost} is
\begin{equation}
\label{eq_free_cost}
F(\mathbf{x}) = - \sum_{ij} x_{ij}
\end{equation}
and corresponds to Eq.~\eqref{max}.

The second term of Eq.~\eqref{eqn_qubo_cost}  is a penalty term
\begin{equation}
P(\mathbf{x})  =  P_{\text{out}}(\mathbf{x})  + P_{\text{in}}(\mathbf{x})  + P_{\text{no pairs} }(\mathbf{x}),
\end{equation}
where
\begin{gather}
\label{eqn_qubo_penalties}
P_{\text{out}}(\mathbf{x})  =  \sum_{i}  a_i  \sum_{j, j'>j} x_{ij} x_{ij'}  \\
\label{eqn_qubo_penalties_2}
P_{\text{in}}(\mathbf{x})   = \sum_{j} b_j  \sum_{i, i'>i} x_{ij} x_{i'j}   \\
\label{eqn_qubo_penalties_4}
 P_{\text{no pairs} }(\mathbf{x})    =  c \sum_{i, j>i }   x_{ij} x_{ji}
\end{gather}

The quantities in Eqs.~\eqref{eqn_qubo_penalties}-\eqref{eqn_qubo_penalties_4} implement the constraints of Eqs.~\eqref{max_one_out}, \eqref{max_one_in} and \eqref{no_pairs}, given that they will be zero when the configuration $\mathbf{x}$ is allowed and positive when the constraint is violated, thus penalising forbidden configurations.
Equations  \eqref{eqn_qubo_penalties}-\eqref{eqn_qubo_penalties_4} are based on the fact that for any two binary variables $y$ and $z$,  the constraint $y+z\leq1$ is equivalent to $y \cdot z =0$. We note that it is not necessary to encode constraint  \eqref{no_open_cycles}  as a penalty term, since it has the same functional form as Eq.~\eqref{max}, and checking the solution found will be sufficient.

When translating the constraints into penalties one needs to choose the penalty constants $a_i$, $b_j$, $c$ large enough compared to the strength of the term $\sum_{ij} x_{ij}$. However, due to the hardware implementation, these cannot be chosen  arbitrarily large. An optimal choice for the penalty constants is presented in Appendix \ref{appendix_constraints}.

\section{Implementation on a quantum annealer}
\label{sec_implementation_quantum_annealer}

 \subsection{Quantum annealing}
The constructed QUBO problem  is solved on a D-Wave Advantage quantum annealer, containing 5436 physical working qubits.  The starting point for the quantum routine used is a quantum state that corresponds to the ground state of a drive Hamiltonian
\begin{equation}
H_0 = -\sum_{\ell} \sigma^x_\ell.
\end{equation}
This Hamiltonian is slowly changed to the problem Hamiltonian $H_1$ whose ground state represents the state with lowest energy for the QUBO problem.  Its general form is that of an Ising-like Hamiltonian:
\begin{equation}
\label{H1}
H_1 = \sum_{\ell} h_\ell \sigma_\ell^z + \sum_{\ell \ell'} t_{\ell \ell'} \sigma_\ell^z \sigma_\ell^z\ .
\end{equation}
In $H_0$ and $H_1$, $\ell$ and $\ell'$ are indices denoting the position of the physical qubits in the hardware, $\sigma^{x,z}_\ell$  are Pauli operators, and the parameters $h_\ell$ and $t_{\ell\ell'}$ are set by the QUBO problem.

The total evolution can then be modelled via the Hamiltonian $H(s) = A(s) H_0 + B(s) H_1$, where $A(s)$ and $B(s)$ are a decreasing and increasing function of the dimensionless schedule parameter $s\in [0, 1]$, respectively. The $A(s)$ and $B(s)$ functions are fixed by the hardware, while the time variation of $s$ is controlled by the programmed schedule.
In our experiment we use a schedule having a total duration of  300 $\mu$s, composed of an initial annealing where the parameter $s$ is linearly ramped up from 0 to 0.4 in 80 $\mu$s, followed by a pause at $s=0.4$ lasting for 100 $\mu$s, and a second part of the annealing consisting of a linear ramp of $s$ from 0.4 to 1 in 120 $\mu$s.

The mapping of the QUBO problem in Eq.~\eqref{eqn_qubo_cost} to the Ising-like Hamiltonian in Eq. \eqref{H1} is done by identifying the two states $\{0,1\}$ of the variables $x_{ij}$  with the two eigenstates of the $\sigma_\ell^z$ operator of the qubit $\ell$.  Since the physical qubits in the quantum processor are not fully connected to each other,  each logical qubit  is embedded into a chain of one or more physical qubits. To find such an embedding, we use the \textit{minorminer} algorithm~\cite{Cai2014} provided by D-Wave, with its default parameters.

\subsection{Protocol for solving the partitioning problem}
\label{protocol_paritioning}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{figures/fig2}
\caption{\textbf{Construction of the input graphs for the partitioning problem.} (a) An example of graph $G_0$ with parameters $n=3$,  $L=4$, and an equal number of vertices and edges $N_{V} = N_{E}=12$. (b) A graph $G$ generated from $G_0$, by adding $N_\text{noise}=6$ new edges (red arrows). For $G$ we have $N_{V}=12$, $N_{E}=18$.}
\label{add_noise}
\end{figure}

In this section we present the steps for the protocol we use to solve the problem on the quantum annealer: (i) graph construction, (ii) problem submission, (iii) check of the output.

\begin{algorithm}[H]
  \caption{Solution check. The pseudocode describes the function used to verify whether a graph $G'= (V, E')$, with $E' \subseteq E$, is a partition of a graph $G= (V, E)$ into Hamiltonian subgraphs with three or more vertices.}

  \textbf{Input:} Graphs $G'= (V, E')$ and  $G= (V, E)$\\
  \textbf{Output:} True if $G'$ is a partition of $G$ into Hamiltonian subgraphs with three or more vertices, False otherwise\\

   \Repeat
   \State Find the edges $E_\text{from} \subseteq E'$ going out of $v_\text{from}$
   \If{$E_\text{from}$ has exactly one element}
      \State Add the vertex $v_\text{from}$ to $C_{V}$
      \State Add the edge $e$ in $E_\text{from} $ to $C_{E} $
   \Else
  \State \Return False
  \EndIf
   \State Assign $v_\text{to}$ to the vertex pointed at by $e$
              \If{($v_\text{to}\neq v_\text{start}$) and ($v_\text{to}\in C_V$ or $C_{E} = E'$)}
  \State \Return False
  \EndIf
   \State Assign $v_\text{from}:=v_\text{to}$
   \Until {$v_\text{to}=v_\text{start}$}
   \If{$C_{V}$ has exactly 2 elements}
   \State \Return False
   \ElsIf{$C_{V}$ has 3 elements or more}
    \State Remove from $V$ the vertices contained in $C_V$
    \State Remove from $E'$ the edges contained in $C_E$
   \EndIf
      \Until {no vertices are left in $V$ and no edges are left in $E'$}
        \State \Return True
    \end{algorithmic}
   \end{algorithm}

(i) We start by generating a graph $G_0$ composed of $n$ disjoint cycles of length $L$ (Fig.~\ref{add_noise}a). This contains $nL$ vertices and $nL$ edges.
A new graph $G$ is generated starting from $G_0$, by introducing noise, i.e. adding $N_\text{noise}$ new randomly chosen edges that connect the existing vertices (Fig.~\ref{add_noise}b). The so-constructed graph $G$ will always admit $G_0$ as solution, even though additional solutions might also appear when the amount of noise is large.

(ii) The graph $G$ is then transformed into a QUBO problem as explained in the previous sections and submitted to the quantum annealer.  The annealing schedule is run 100 times, and the frequency of the  final states obtained is computed.

(iii) Using Algorithm \ref{algo_sol_check} we check if the lowest energy state (or states in the degenerate case) corresponds to a partition of $G$ into Hamiltonian subgraphs containing cycles of length three or more. If that is the case, the probability $P_\text{sol}$ of finding a solution is equal to frequency of the lowest energy state (or the sum of the frequencies of the lowest energy states in the degenerate case), if not $P_\text{sol}=0$. We note that the solution check algorithm runs in polynomial time. The only step that is proportional to the size of the problem is line~6 in Algorithm \ref{algo_sol_check}, which is a $\mathcal{O}(N_E)$. That step  is executed at maximum $N_V$ times, which makes the overall algorithm a $\mathcal{O}(N_EN_V)$.

To collect statistics on $P_\text{sol}$, we repeat the steps (i) to~(iii) 50 times and average $P_\text{sol}$ over the 50 repetitions to obtain $\bar{P}_\text{sol}$, that represents the average probability to find a solution with a single run (i.e. a single annealing schedule) on the quantum annealer.

\section{Results}
\label{sec_results}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{figures/fig3}
\caption{\textbf{Single-run solution probability as a function of the number of vertices.} (a) $\bar{P}_\text{sol}$ is shown as a function of $N_V$ for cycles of length 4 for different $p_\text{noise}$.
For all curves the probability to find a solution in a single run on the quantum annealer decreases as the system size increases.
With noise, the dependence on the system size is stronger: for $N_V=4200$  and $p_\text{noise}=0.5\times 10 ^{-4}$ (i.e. $N_\text{noise}=882$)  the probability is  $\bar{P}_\text{sol} = 0.104(9)$, and for $N_V=3600$  and $p_\text{noise}=1\times 10 ^{-4}$ (i.e.  $N_\text{noise}=1295$), the  probability is $\bar{P}_\text{sol} = 0.055(8)$. (b)  $\bar{P}_\text{sol}$ is shown as a function of $N_V$ for $p_\text{noise}=0.5\times 10 ^{-4}$  for different cycle lengths. The probability exhibits the same behaviour as a function of the problem size regardless of the cycle length used in the input graph configuration. In both panels, the error bars show the standard error on the mean.}
\label{varying_n_vertices}
\end{figure}

We start by fixing the fraction $p_\text{noise}$ of the maximum allowed number of additional edges for the given number of vertices $N_{V}$, and set $N_\text{noise} = \text{round}(p_\text{noise} \  N_{V} (N_{V}-2))$.
In the simplest scenario, i.e. $p_\text{noise}$ = 0, the quantum annealer easily finds a solution regardless of the problem size (grey points in Fig.~\ref{varying_n_vertices}a). Even when considering a problem with a very large number of vertices and edges, $N_V = N_E = 5400$, where the graph size is very close to the total number of working physical qubits available (5436),  the probability to find a solution with a single run on the quantum annealer is  $\bar{P}_\text{sol}=75(1)\%$.  We observe that $\bar{P}_\text{sol}$ decreases with $N_V$ with a slope that strongly depends on $p_\text{noise}$, and the quantum annealer finds a solution up to  $N_V=4200$ for $p_\text{noise}=0.5\times 10 ^{-4}$  and up to $N_V=3600$  for $p_\text{noise}=1\times 10 ^{-4}$ (blue and orange points in Fig.~\ref{varying_n_vertices}a).

Figure \ref{varying_n_vertices}b shows that the single-run solution probability $\bar{P}_\text{sol}$ does not depend on the cycle length. This can be explained by the fact that the dimension of the combinatorial space depends on the number of all the possible paths in the input graph, which is determined only by $ N_{V}$  and $p_\text{noise}$.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{figures/fig4}
\caption{\textbf{Single-run solution probability and time to solution as a function of the number of added random edges.} (a) $\bar{P}_\text{sol}$ is shown as a function of $N_\text{noise}$ for cycles of length 4 and different $N_\text{V}$. The single-run solution probability decreases as the number of random edges becomes larger. For larger sizes of the problem,
$\bar{P}_\text{sol}$ goes to zero more slowly. (b) TTS shown for the same points as panel~(a). The dotted lines show exponential fits to the data in the range $N_\text{noise}\geq400$  with equation $\log(\text{TTS}/1\text{ms}) = a + bN_\text{noise}$ and the solid lines show power law fits with equation $\log(\text{TTS}/1\text{ms}) = a + b \log(N_\text{noise})$.
}
\label{varying_n_noise}
\end{figure}

    To further investigate the dependence on the combinatorial complexity, we now fix the number of vertices $N_V$ and vary the number of added edges $N_\text{noise}$. To give an intuition on how the complexity of the problem scales with $N_\text{noise}$, we can think of a classical approach based on  Algorithm \ref{algo_sol_check}. Without any edges added, there is only one possible simple path. When we add one edge of noise, there will be one vertex with two outgoing edges: this bifurcation gives rise to two different simple paths. Each of them could be then fed into Algorithm   \ref{algo_sol_check} to check whether it is a solution. However, when the number of added edges increases, the number of simple paths to be checked can be up to $2^{N_\text{noise}}$,  and therefore finding a solution with this classical procedure becomes exponentially hard.

    In Fig.~\ref{varying_n_noise} we show the results obtained with the quantum annealer. For a small amount of added edges ($N_\text{noise} \lesssim 100$) the single-run solution probability is higher for the smaller system size explored (Fig.~\ref{varying_n_noise}a).  However, as $N_\text{noise}$ is increased, for a given number of added edges it becomes easier to find a solution for a system where the size is larger. We note that, regardless of the value of the single-run solution probability, the same problem can be submitted multiple times in order to find a solution at least once with arbitrarily high probability.  Fixing the desired probability to 99\%, the time needed to find a solution is given by
 \cite{Albash2018}
\begin{equation}
\text{TTS}  = (t_\text{anneal} + t_\text{pause}) \frac{\log(1-0.99)}{\log(1-\bar{P}_\text{sol})},
\end{equation}
where the first term is the single-run time (i.e. the sum of the times used in the schedule of the quantum annealer $t_\text{anneal} = 200 \ \mu \text{s}$ and $t_\text{pause} = 100 \ \mu \text{s}$) and the second term is the number of necessary runs to find a solution with the desired probability.

In Fig.~\ref{varying_n_noise}b we show the behaviour of the time to solution  $\text{TTS} $ as a function of the number of added random edges. We fit the large $N_\text{noise}$ behaviour of TTS with an exponential and power law functions. The fit parameters are reported in Table \ref{fit_parameters}. It is clear from the plots that for the range explored TTS is compatible with either fit.  However, even in the exponential case, the scaling is much slower than the one of the classical procedure explained earlier, that scales as  $\exp{(N_\text{noise}\log 2)}$.

\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c}
 & $a$ & $b$ \\
\hline
power law fit $N_V = 1000$ &$-34(3)$&5.9(6)\\
power law fit $N_V = 4000$ &$-15(1)$&2.6(2)\\
\hline
exponential fit $N_V = 1000$ &$-3.8(2)$&0.0120(4)\\
exponential fit $N_V = 4000$ &$-0.8(3)$&0.0035(3)\\
\end{tabular}

\caption{\textbf{Fit parameters}. The table reports the parameters obtained  from the fits to the data shown in Fig.  \ref{varying_n_noise}b. For the exponential fit, the parameter $b$  is much less than $\log2$, expected for the $2^{N_\text{noise}}$ classical scaling described in section~\ref{sec_results}.

\label{fit_parameters}
\end{table}

\section{Outlook}
\label{outlook}
Possible extensions of the problem presented here can be considered for graphs where weights are assigned to the edges, or where different constraints on the cycle length are present.

We point out that, if self-loops are included in the construction of the problem and the constraint on the cycle length is lifted, our method could  be used to compute the permanent of a matrix, since finding all the cycle covers of a graph is equivalent to computing the permanent of its adjacency matrix  \cite{Rudolph2009}.

After two Good Wood Awards, it looked like The Forum Seeker was here to stay. Or so we thought! The Seeker is gone. This board will suit anyone who likes to ride fast switch, enjoys riding regular on the mountain, and wants to hit big kickers and the super pipe. Just like everyone says, you can go huge with this, but it's not bad going at medium speed. With so many noodle park twins it's great to find a stiff, fast twin with good edge hold. It's a good competitor to the Salomon Official. Both are similar in shape and riding style. 2010 & 2009 Good Wood Top 5 in the Pipe Award Winner.
Conditions: hard to soft to about 1.5 feet of powder.
With our first look, we were more impressed with the graphics on the board in person than in the pics, but they leave a little to be desired. The Seeker is very light and seems very well built. We didn't get 100 days on it but it looks like it can handle a season or two with a semi-aggressive rider. The Forum Seeker has a good amount of camber and is pretty springy, and it's pleasant to see a cambered board win a Good Wood Award in this day and age. This board has excellent edge hold and performs well in and out of the park. So here is how it rides.
On Snow Feel: The Seeker is fast, stable and technical. You should understand camber and the consequences of camber before riding it.
Powder: The Forum Seeker is a small twin so don't expect much. If you rip, you can ride anything but it's a lot more fun to go with a reverse camber or a board more specific to powder days. If you get out there, you will find it does pretty well compared to other cambered boards of its size and shape, but if you're in the deep stuff, it's not going to be easy. We had a lot of fun in 1-2 feet of pow but we just didn't have the heart to take it out on a deeper day with so many powder snowboards to review. In 1-2 feet it didn't perform as well as other boards getting you through the already tracked out sections.
Turn Initiation– It is not as stiff as Forum makes it out to be and it has a pretty deep side cut so this can turn on a dime. It doesn't have the ability to make the long sweeping g-force turns that bigger directional boards can make, but it is fun to make tight responsive turns. It also has a very playful edge to edge feel that we really enjoyed. We had a lot of fun carving on this board even though we were set up with a duck stance. Compare this to some of its reverse camber competitors and this blows 'em away when it comes to carving out a good turn.
Speed: This board is pretty fast for its flex, but you would expect that for the price. The base is pretty fast and the board does pretty well in chatter.
Uneven Terrain: The seeker isn't bad here and can handle bumps pretty well.
Edge Hold: Most of the days we tested this board on were either hard pack or mixed condition groomers. For a board that isn't that stiff, we never lost an edge or washed out on an icy patch – this must be why it's a favorite in the pipe. It has good grip and is really dependable on an icy pipe wall. Well done!
Flex: After flexing and riding this board we were pretty surprised that Forum rated this a 7 in stiffness. We see this more as 2.75 out of 5. This board has a very even flex that is on the stiff side of the middle, with the nose and tail seeming to have the same stiffness as the mid section. It seems slightly stiffer torsionally so that might be why they gave it a 7.
Jibbing– If it wasn't for the incredibly sharp edges and uniform stiffness this would be a great jib board. It is just average and can still be fun if you get in the jibbing mood once in a while. The mid flex is meant to work good on rails, but the edges are very sharp and catchy. If you want to file down the Seekers precious edges then you can turn this into an adequate rails and boxes board, but then you'll loose an excellent pipe board. So bottom line, the board was not meant to spend the majority of its life sliding across hard objects.
Switch: The Seeker is a true Twin with a centered stance, so riding switch is just like riding regular. It's a great way to get better at riding switch or to go even bigger while riding switch.
Pipe: If you ride switch and like the pipe, this is better than most pipe boards for hitting or landing switch. The edge hold is exceptional and gets you up and out of any size pipe wall. We tried this in 18′ and 22′ pipes and found it to be just like The Good Wood described it.
Jumps: This is the boards second best quality. As a true twin with good speed and a forgiving flex, the board can handle going as big or small as you want to go – no matter which way you take off or land.
All in all, we were pretty impressed with Forum's Seeker. They really figured out how to make a great pipe and jump board for people of all levels. This was a board we added to our quiver for a season.
We try to get as many images of the Forum Seeker, but forgive us if they're not all there.

'Voices & Echoes' now available
Book gives voice to Cleveland County residents
Wade Allen wallen@shelbystar.com
A new book gives a voice to Cleveland County residents sharing their stories as if you're joining them for personal conversations.
Shelby's Pat Anderson conducted the first interview in 2008. Since, others with the Carolina Scribes writing group have joined to help the project. The result? A 193-page softcover book called "Voices and Echoes," a legacy project sharing the thoughts of 16 people who call the area home.
"You can live your whole life and not really know your neighbor or your friend," Anderson said. "You can work right beside somebody and not realize what they confronted growing up, that sort of thing. It's a really good thing to look at those lives."
Some sharing their stories were willing to step out of their comfort zones. Others lived through the Great Depression. The stories are presented as portraits of their lives, with each sharing details about themselves. Anderson calls it "inspiring."
Among those featured are Dr. James Petty, the first president of Cleveland Community College, and former Shelby Mayor Les Roark. Retired professional baseball player Ralph Dixon is also included.
Philip A. Francis shared his story of growing up in Grover and taking a summer job at Kings Mountain National Military Park. Anderson said that opportunity blossomed into a career for him.
"He has a really inspiring story because he was willing to step outside what was comfortable there in Grover and seek other options," Anderson said. "I think his positive attitude about work is what made him such a success."
Additionally, some original prose is included in the book, along with a few poems. Some were written by the late Bob Scoggins.
"Voices & Echoes" is a grant-sponsored book through the North Carolina Arts Council and Cleveland County Arts Council. Anderson said Carolina Scribes is an affiliate member of the local Arts Council and copies are available there at 111 S. Washington St., Shelby, for $12 each.

/77 is an artist-run-project founded by Giulia Ratti, Alessandro Moroni, Nicole Colombo and Luca Loreti. The group aims at creating collaborations and projects involving young artists. Our main interest is that of stimulating a collective debate around the work of art and each artist's own research, beyond exhibition contexts. The project focuses on experimentation and research. Through our work, we are creating a network of artists, artworks as well as institutions, stimulating the debate around contemporary art and current issues.

Inspired by the beautiful collaborative project by Leah (creator of PaperPlanesConnect) and Meg (creator of Show Me Your Diamond) to light a spark back under the humble poem…. I had a little play around myself today….
What can I say…. I heart words.
If I'm being totally honest Ive never been a huge poet fan. Yet I do believe in the power of a poem because once you find THE ONE it imprints on your soul and never leaves.
Much like a perfect quote or a song which feels as though it were written just for you.
Written by Wilfred Owen about the irony of War.
Translated from Latin into the most ironic and challenging statement/question.
This poem had a million layers to uncover. It spoke to me and shared a message, intention and vibration in a way that no other format would been able to do.
It has stayed with me forever.
A million times more powerful than any book I may have read on the same subject. Sometimes less really is more.
Perhaps we are able to sense words which are written completely from the heart? And in recognition of this we choose to carry them with us into our own. Keeping them safe and alive – feeling as though we are somehow honouring and supporting the creator by doing so?
Words are beautiful curving shapes and gentle squiggles, which have the potential to be crafted, guided and gently manipulated into something incredible only by a true wordsmith.
For when an passionate brilliant idea collides with a true authentic artist – ALCHEMY HAPPENS.
Just to clarify, I don't in any way claim to be a poet of any kind. Im just a girl who likes to write and play with words and use them as a release to get thoughts and busyness out of my head. As always I remind myself that I write for me. For my own wellbeing.
I often feel the need to access creativity and today a poem felt like an option to try. Something short and quick and just for the creative hell of it.
Actually I felt much better afterwards too. Creative pursuits definitely help me.
And so in the spirit of sharing mine with you, I encourage you to check out Leah and Megs' project and be inspired to pick up the poetic pen yourself. Just for fun. Just for kicks. Just to see. Let me know how it goes in the comments below.
A promise not quite formed. A whisper of what could be.
Each hand upturned, fingers splayed wide. Ready this time.
I can see the flakes so why can't I catch them? I need to make sure they are real.
Touching and teasing me constantly, but dissolving on contact.
My time is not quite yet.
Softly I breathe. I can wait. I have time.
I cannot force them to solidify anymore than I can force a snowflake to do so.
Their time (and mine) will come.
Faith in my heart once more.
« CrowdFunding Help: Could I Consider It To Fix My Health?
Carly.. this is so beautiful babe, you've kinda left me speechless! But I will say this.. you my dear are most certainly a poet.
This had me in tears!
Carly this poem is so powerful.
Just beautiful. You have such a gift with words.

Eye goes missing from a body at Gwalior hosp, doctors blame it on lizards
While woman's family members suspected, her eye was gouged by the hospital for transplant without intimation, hospital authorities blamed it on geckos.
P Naveen
Updated: May 21, 2017, 09:04 IST
Bhopal: Four days after rats gnawed at the fingers of a newborn at a government-run healthcare centre in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh, another horror has been reported from JAH Hospital, Gwalior where a woman's eye was found missing when her body was taken out of the morgue.
While woman's family members suspected, her eye was gouged by the hospital for transplant without intimation, hospital authorities blamed it on geckos (lizards). A similar incident reported from Hamidia hospital in the state capital had invited the wrath of chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in December 2016.
Raksha Katare, 26, resident of Gole Ka Mandir area had consumed some poisonous substance after a domestic feud on Thursday and was admitted to JAH hospital where she died during treatment on Friday evening. Her body was shifted to the morgue for autopsy scheduled next morning.
On Saturday, when her family arrived and claimed her body after post-mortem they noticed that one of her eyes were missing. When her father inquired about the missing eye hospital authorities failed to give a satisfactory answer. This led to suspicion.
"She was admitted at JAH hospital for treatment. We are not sure if she consumed poison herself or was fed by someone. Today when we went to the post-mortem room and got her body, we found that her right eye was missing. When we asked doctors, they said lizards must have taken it away," Raksha's uncle N P Awasthi told media. They left the hospital after a few hours. Senior authorities including the hospital superintendent did not turn up at the hospital to meet them.
JAH hospital had been in the centre of controversy over multiple issues in the last four years. In one of the recent incident, when doctors allegedly junked donated corneas. The matter was reported to the MCI and a high-level inquiry was conducted. Three senior medicos were suspended by divisional commissioner while the medical college dean and JAH hospital superintendent escaped action. Investigations revealed that doctors had conducted only single eye transplant in six years though 80 organs have been donated in the same period. It is alleged that top hospital authorities escape action because of their 'high contacts'.
In December 2016, appalled over the incident of rodents nibbling a woman's corpse in the premises of state-run Hamidia Hospital, additional chief secretary of Medical Education department and the dean of Gandhi Medical College (GMC) were removed by the chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Last week, rats had gnawed at the fingers of a newborn at a government-run healthcare centre in Shivpuri district. The baby girl was born to Sunita Bai, a resident of Shivpuri's Kolaras area, around midnight on May 14. Her family says hospital staff put her on the floor, saying there was no vacant bed in the hospital. On Tuesday, she suddenly spotted wounds on the child's little finger. The family says doctors ignored their complaint until they took it up with senior officials. The mother and infant were then shifted to the paediatric unit.

As I'm writing blogs and work on my mac I fairly often take screenshots and includes it into my work (blogs, dokumentation etc). This is easily done by CMF + Shift + 4 (or 3 if you want to take a picture of the whole screen).
By default OSX stores them on the desktop and I hate to have my desktop cluttered by this.
So I checked how to move the location. And there is surely a way to do this.
Now you need to restart the SystemUIServer to get it to reread the setting.
This will now be the place where you can get the screenshots.
There are more things you can change with the defaults command.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture name "ScreenShot"
So this is one more change you can do to tune you OSX system to what you want.

Downtown Arlington comes back to life (with more on the way)
O.K. Carterokcarter@bizpress.net
O.K. Carter
Downtown Arlington Management Corp.
500 E. Front St.
https://downtownarlington.org/
Aldo Fritz, president of the Downtown Arlington Management Corp., need only step outside the organization's East Front Street office to confirm – at long last – that the long-awaited tipping point for the city's downtown renovation has arrived and continues to accelerate.
The DAMC office exists in the midst of one such bit of evidence, Urban Union, a 100,000-square-foot, 6.5-acre collection of what was once a mishmash of tired used-car lots, mechanic shops and the old Luke Honda auto dealership.
The development contains an eclectic array of startup businesses ranging from craft beer brewer Legal Draft and gourmet baker Sugar Bee's to Union Worx, a coworking office.
It's a synergy thing, Urban Union being only one success story among many.
A block away, patrons flock to the newest downtown watering hole, Tipsy Oak, or listen to up-and-coming musicians at nearby Grease Monkey, which credits itself in part with discovering Grammy winner Maren Morris.
Three blocks away the Levitt Pavilion, an outdoor theater, packs in audiences for 50 concerts a year featuring performers such as Barenaked Ladies and Ray Wylie Hubbard. Old guard restaurants such as Gilligan's, meanwhile, enjoy new revenue highs.
"Things are going well," said Fritz, 39, in what might be considered an understatement.
He's been on the job a year now after stints as a planner for the City of Dallas and as a mainstay in redevelopment of the massive J.C. Penney Co. headquarters in Plano.
Not that things have come easily for downtown redevelopment since DAMC was created as a nonprofit partner with the city and the University of Texas at Arlington back in 2006.
Ever since the T&P Railroad laid out Arlington's half-mile wide downtown in 1876, the town has expanded from its core. With 400,000 people now spread across almost 100 square miles, early economic development emphasis focused on GM, shopping centers, businesses along the interstate and a municipal brand heavy on professional sports and amusement parks: roller coasters, football and baseball.
"I think you could say it was a typical suburban phenomenon," said Fritz, ever the pragmatic planner. "First there's abandonment of the old downtown, then nostalgia, then redevelopment and return."
The major snag for downtown redevelopment was difficult to resolve: Not many people lived in the area, fewer than 2,000 when DAMC was created in 2006.
By 2019 it'll be close to 10,000, the arrival at long last of what Fritz describes as a live/work/play – and visit – "everybody's neighborhood downtown." That neighborhood downtown feel should be enhanced when an Abram Street rebuild is complete that will slow traffic and enhance pedestrian access.
Clearly it helps, he says, that downtown is handily sandwiched between a booming UT Arlington and an expanding entertainment district that recently opened Texas Live! and at which the Texas Rangers are busily constructing a new indoor ballpark.
DAMC board Chair Amy Cearnal calculates that the downtown renovation is also arriving just in time for a shifting demographic market focused on millennials. Bureau of Labor Statistics studies show that more than half the age group prefer suburban living, but with proximity to amenities – very much a description of today's downtown Arlington.
"All living options in the Downtown Arlington district are a bike ride or Uber away from all the entertainment district has to offer from Rangers to Cowboys to TexasLive! and other dining opportunities," Cearnal said. "Downtown living is a great option for career-flexible millennials or baby boomers who don't want a big yard but want more amenities."
Fritz, meanwhile, continues to work away at strategies that range from expanding public art and popup cultural events to creating a downtown podcast and attracting off-center retail.
"We're focused now on continued momentum and communication," he says. "Not enough people know about what's happening here. But they will."
O.K. Carter is a former editor and publisher of the Arlington Citizen-Journal and was also Arlington publisher and columnist for the Star-Telegram and founding editor of Arlington Today Magazine. He's the author of the definitive book on Arlington's colorful history, Caddos, Cotton and Cowboys: Essays on Arlington.

Plenary Council 2020 Update
Welcome to the sixth edition of CCSP's Parent Talk for 2021.
As we approach the end of this unusual school term, we can be confident that things will change for the better in the not-too-distant future.
I, like many other citizens of NSW, am delighted that Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced the roadmap to freedom. The milestone for easing of restrictions is 70% of adults (aged 16+) to have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The previously announced return to school dates for local government areas in lockdown remain unchanged at this stage.
Term 3, which has seen an unprecedented amount of disruption to schooling, is nearly finished. On behalf of the parents and carers of NSW/ACT, I would like to thank all teachers for their ongoing dedication. We hope you enjoy a restful holiday away from screens. Thank you to the system leaders and school principals for prioritising the health, safety and wellbeing of all staff, students and their families.
Catholic Schools NSW (CSNSW) continues to work with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and NSW Health to update guidelines for school operations. Your school will keep you advised about return to school arrangements as more definite decisions are made.
Thank you to those school communities who have already entered submissions to the 2021 Roger O'Sullivan Memorial Award. Your community has until 20 October 2021 to submit an entry.
There was no sign of Zoom fatigue from the attendees at the recent CCSP Council Meeting and CCSP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Parent Committee meetings. Members shared many valuable insights from their dioceses, including their disappointment that COVID-19 has caused plans to change and school-based learning activities to be severely limited. More information about these meetings are in this newsletter.
I am continuing to work on various projects identified in the CCSP Strategic Plan and joint projects with Catholic School Parents Australia, CSNSW and NESA.
The majority of people in NSW will not be able to attend Mass in person until NSW reaches the 70% double dose vaccination milestone. I urge you to help reach the milestone. If you have not yet done so, please make an appointment to be vaccinated.
Let us continue to keep in our thoughts and prayers everyone affected by this global pandemic and do what we can to help those around us. At the same time, let us not forget about families in the nation of Afghanistan who once again, face the risk of tumult and oppression.
It is pleasing that all dioceses in NSW/ACT were represented at the Term Three Council Meeting that was held over Zoom on Friday 27 August.
Wayne Davie, Chair CCSP, welcomed everyone and introduced Paul Penberthy, new Parent Representative from the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn, John Elliot, Partnerships Manager Diocese of Parramatta, Tricia Ward, Communications, Media and Marketing Officer Diocese of Wilcannia Forbes and Therese Sleimann, newly appointed Administration Assistant CCSP. It is pleasing that all dioceses in NSW/ACT were represented at the meeting.
Everyone present expressed their appreciation of the efforts teachers, principals, schools and systems are going to in providing continuity of learning while prioritising the safety, health and wellbeing of staff, students and their families. It has been a huge effort and the parents and carers of NSW/ACT are very grateful.
The ongoing wellbeing of students and families was discussed and some practical tips were shared such as
Creative Kids Vouchers which are available for all students across NSW
Remote learning and faith-based resources that are available on the CCSP website
The CCSP Political Strategy Election Working Party (PSEWP) provided an update from their first meeting. Cheryl Murphy, Deputy Chair CSPP was nominated and elected as Chair of the PSEWP. The PSEWP will be working with each diocese to identify the key issues to be raised and the resources that are needed for the upcoming federal election.
Council also discussed other projects that have been identified in the CCSP 2021-2023 Strategic Plan. If you would like more detail about the CCSP Council meetings please contact your diocesan parent representative
The CCSP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Parent Committee met virtually on Thursday 26 August. Members reported on the challenges families across NSW are facing due to the prolonged lockdowns.
Mental health and school retention rates of Year 11 students were highlighted as key issues. During the Diocesan sharing section of the of the meeting, members discussed initiatives from other dioceses that could be implemented in their own diocese.
If you would like to make contact with the parent representative from your diocese contact the education office in your diocese, or email office@ccsp.catholic.edu.au.
In recognition of her hard work and dedication, Sr Kerry MacDermott OLN was recently awarded the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council 2021 Non-Indigenous Service to Community Award.
Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Officer and member of Council of Catholic School Parents Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Parent Committee, Karan Taylor, is extremely grateful for the support Sr Kerry has provided to students, families, and Catholic education over the years.
"Sr Kerry has been a wonderful advocate for our Aboriginal families and their children, supporting and guiding our families," said Mrs Taylor. "She lives in community and is a much-loved member of our Aboriginal communities, and is respected across our Catholic schools in the Macarthur region of our diocese."
Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong and Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor have partnered to support tertiary education pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who attend John Therry Catholic College. Read more here
The 2021 Roger O'Sullivan Memorial Award for Family, School and Community Partnerships for Learning is awarded to a school community, including parents and carers, that can demonstrate exemplary practice in building partnerships between home and school to enhance the learning outcomes of students.
The initiative may be an ongoing project that predates 2021. If you have any questions please email or call CCSP.
The submission date for entries is 20 October 2021.
From the definition of the Delta variant to vaccine stats and facts, this NSW Health fact sheet aims to dispel myths and answer common questions about COVID-19.
Increasing numbers of young people believe vaping to be harmless. There are many dangers involved with vaping.
Jennifer Coen, State Manager Wellbeing Catholic Schools NSW, talks with Paul Dillion about drugs, alcohol and vaping. You can listen to the 24 minute podcast here .
The Catholic Schools Parents Assembly from the Diocese of Lismore kindly shared this infographic which may be useful to assist you having a conversation with young people in your care.
The prolonged lockdown across NSW is impacting everyone in many different ways. We encourage you to follow the CCSP Facebook page to receive Wellness Wednesday hints to look after yourself @cathschoolparents.
The team from R U OK? have developed RU OK? hints to start a conversation to help you speak with your loved ones and friends. The guide also provides information about where to access professional assistance.
Parents and carers are not trained school teachers yet they can support and encourage learning at home.
A few ideas to assist your child:
• Spend time with them.
• Believe in their potential.
• Talk with your child – about anything and everything – build confidence that they can come to you with any problems or questions they may have.
• Read with your child – this is just as important in secondary school as in primary school.
• Set routines – help them to develop good habits and a positive attitude towards learning.
• Help them to learn persistence and resilience – sometimes it takes time to be able to do things.
• Support good relationships – help your child to be able to socialise and get along with others.
• Let them help you with chores and do things together so they can learn – this can prepare them for when they leave home.
• Talk positively about school and the importance of learning.
• Set expectations for your child's behaviour.
• Help them to learn to occupy/amuse themselves – quiet time is important.
These hints are from the resources developed by Catholic School Parents Australia in the Gearing Up for Parent Engagement in Student learning Toolkit. In addition to easy-to-read modules that help build key relationships, there are video case studies for Primary School Parents and Secondary School Parents
The Australian Council on Children and the Media [ACCM] has compiled a list of 50 family-friendly movies which promote happy, healthy screen media experiences for children.
ACCM is a not-for-profit organisation; its website has over 1,800 comprehensive movie reviews written by reviewers with child-development expertise. The site also houses video reviews of movies prepared by a team with child development expertise. Click here for a selection of movies.
While COVID-19 has certainly changed the plans the Australian Bishops made for Plenary Council 2020, the good news is that it's still happening and it's not far away.
The first session of Plenary Council 2020 was to have taken place in Adelaide in October last year. Like most things, this was postponed. Now, the first session will take place online in October this year. For the very latest information on the plenary, go to https://plenarycouncil.catholic.org.au/ Here, you can access the Agenda, the Instrumentum Laboris, and other resources that will help you engage in this process of synodality being embarked upon by the Catholic Church in Australia.
Please keep in your thoughts and prayers all those faithfully participating in the Plenary Council as they discern the way ahead for the life of our Church.

Mayo Clinic research scientists and doctors are continually developing new methods for diagnosing and treating ulcerative colitis. Mayo Clinic radiologists were instrumental in developing novel imaging techniques for bowel disorders, including CT enterography and MR enterography. Mayo Clinic researchers were involved in studies showing that infliximab helped reduce the need for surgery for people with ulcerative colitis.
The Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery at Mayo Clinic also is well known for developing minimally invasive surgical techniques for ulcerative colitis. Mayo Clinic researchers have been involved in studies of chromoendoscopy, a better way to look for precancerous changes associated with ulcerative colitis.

ARSENAL RELEASE DECEMBER'S PLAYER OF THE MONTH NOMINEES
By index | January 16, 2021
Premier League side Arsenal have released a list of nominees for the December edition of their Player of The Month awards. The Gunners had a mixed end to the year as they rounded off December with back-to-back wins despite enduring a patchy start to it.
I'm their last two games of the year, Arsenal played Frank Lampard's Chelsea at the Emirates and shocked the football World by winning the game with a scoreline of 3-1. In their next game and last game of the year, they travelled to Burnley and secured a vital 1-0 win away from home – a morale-boosting win for Mike Arteta's men.
NEVILLE BELIEVES CHELSEA ARE AHEAD OF SPURS IN TITLE RACE
By index | December 20, 2020
According to former Manchester United player Gary Neville, Frank Lampard's Chelsea have a better shot at winning the Premier League title in the current campaign than José Mourinho's Tottenham.
The Premier League table is currently being topped by Tottenham who edge second-placed Liverpool by a goal difference. Occupying the third spot are Chelsea who are making a huge statement this season as potent title contenders.
ENGLAND DEFENDER OUT FOR FOUR WEEKS
By index | November 26, 2020
England and Liverpool have been dealt a big blow following the news that defender Trent Alexander-Arnold would miss the next four weeks as a result of the injury picked up during a Premier League game at the weekend.
Trent Alexander-Arnold sustained the injury during the second half of the Premier League trip to title rivals Manchester City. He had to be replaced by veteran player James for the rest of the game.
Everton Salvage a Draw Against Southampton
By index | September 25, 2020
Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has praised Richarlison for the goal against Southampton whichsaved them from the loss. The opposition player David Ings has scored a goal earlier in the first half which made them have a lead on the scorecard. But soon the lead was gone with the goal from Richarlison on 44th minute of the game.
Ancelotti is glad of the player's helpas it had helped them secure a point in the table. He is happy to have a player like him on the team and he has said before that he is a real striker. He added in the first half the club's performance wasn't good but in the second half, it has gradually improved. They were more in control of the ball and the game ended well.
NEVILLE – LIKE DEENEY, MORE PLAYERS TO REJECT TRAINING RETURN
By index | June 18, 2020
Sky Sports' Gary Neville says he knows some Premier League clubs that up to six players are not comfortable with the league restarting now. The clubs voted to resume some level of training immediately as they prepare to return so the season can be concluded.
A small number of players have voiced their grievances at restarting the league, claiming it is still dangerous to their health and their families. Watford skipper Troy Deeney expressly stated that he told the club he would not be returning to training this week as there are still concerns regarding the virus for him and his household.
EPL Footballers to Face Huge Pay Cut
By index | April 12, 2020
It has been reported that the players of the Premier League might be asked to take approximately 20% cut from their payment to help the non-league and EFL clubs due to the recent pandemic situation. This means that the footballers from the top-flight clubs of the English Premier League will face a prospective £100 million-plus cut from their income in order to save the clubs from the lower leagues from getting ruined. No one imagined that they would face a situation like this and so the Premier League has taken the decision to cut this huge amount of money from the players' salary to help those clubs. But it is not only important but also their responsibility to save those needy clubs to keep the sporting spirit intact.
Talks and discussions are being held regularly between the related governing bodies regarding the ways through which they can come of this crisis going on across the globe. Some suggestions have been mentioned in the report. One of them is that the players might be asked about the pay cut and whether they have taken any kind of preparation to reduce their salary by a fifth so that the collected amount of money can be given to the National League clubs and below who really need it.
STONES NOT EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT CITY
By index | February 29, 2020
England international John Stones is not expected to remain at the Etihad Stadium beyond this summer. There were reports that in a bid to get more playing time ahead of the Euro 2020 later this year, he would move to Arsenal.
The Gunners needed a defender badly and wanted Stones but eventually they had to go with the Pablo Mari option. Arsenal signed Mari from Flamengo on a loan deal.
Merson fancies Norwich City star to score 20 to 25 goals in the league
By index | October 20, 2019
Arsenal legend Paul Merson believes Teemu Pukki is capable of contributing 20 to 25 league goals for Norwich City with their style of play. The Finland international has already scored on four occasions from just two matches and that includes a stunning hat-trick during the 3-0 triumph over Newcastle United last weekend.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Merson appreciated the movement of the former Brondby star and said that he is going to score more goals with the attacking-minded formation of the Canaries. He added that the Finnish forward is capable of at least contributing 20 goals through the top-flight season and he would be surprised, if Norwich are to drop to the Championship next term.
KOVACIC HAS BEEN IMPRESSIVE UNDER LAMPARD
Despite results not always going their way, Frank Lampard and his boys seem to have been developing steadily. Case study is Mateo Kovacic under the leadership of a former midfield maestro himself.
The player can on loan from Real Madrid last season. He had potential in Spain but the pace was the issue hence the deal with the Blues so he could get more game time. Under Coach Maurizio Sarri, the Croatian showed he could go on to be a world class player. He started 21 times, playing 11 times from the bench.


I've got three comma separated columns. Last name, First name, social.
In osx this command is appending a capital U to the beginning of each line, rather than capitalizing the Last name column, but it works as expected on my ubuntu instance.
I cannot figure out why this is happening.
The man page lists a bug "Multibyte characters cannot be used as delimiters with the ''s'' and ''y'' commands. I wasn't sure if / was a multibyte character or not (didn't think that it was), but the same thing happens if I replace the delimiter with 'i'. So this isn't the issue.
\U is a GNUism, actually inspired from a BSDism since that comes from the equivalent s command in the ex editor (command-line mode of vi).
OS/X sed most likely descends from FreeBSDs itself descending from 4.4BSD's sed, which was rewritten from scratch following copyright issues with AT&T. In any case, neither BSD nor AT&T sed support \U in their s command.
To convert to uppercase, in sed portably, you generally use the y command as already shown.
Thank you guys. My reputation isn't high enough to upvote yet, but Mike you solved my problem with sed, and I agree with Stephane. Awk seems to be the better choice.

Its clear color makes the Filtered Covert earpiece barely noticeable and its construction makes it virtually indestructible.
Unlike all other earpieces Custom Protect Ear makes, the Covert earpiece is designed to hold a Communication Connection in the ear without blocking sound from the ear. The Covert is used by Law Enforcement and Surveillance personnel who need to hear what is going on around them while they are receiving radio communication.
