Why talk of Rashford's Reds departure is wide of the mark
Jose Mourinho's handling of his Manchester United players is never far from the lips and keyboards of seemingly everyone who has the vaguest footballing knowledge. Regardless of who supports which team, or who writes for which paper, everyone is keen to give their two penny's worth and jump on the bandwagon. Because that is the easy thing to do, right? Add more fuel to the fire that Mourinho is washed up, outdated and his management style is a thing of the past.
During his United tenure, in its third instalment now, multiple players have been subject to the intense debate: Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof, hell all the centre-backs and, most notably, Paul Pogba have all faced questions over how the Portuguese handles them.
In the next plot of the series, Marcus Rashford is the latest to face similar questions.
Fresh from two goals in as many games on international duty, many were quick to draw conclusions that the Mourinho bully/talent destroyer theories have more than a semblance of truth to them. The arguments have been flooding in – Southgate is maximising the potential yet to be found by Mourinho, Rashford needs to be tried more centrally and, most bizarrely, Rashford has to leave United to realise his potential.
Of course, Rashford's cause has not been helped as he chose to react to Phil Bardsley's wild lash out and confrontation, leading to a three game ban effective from this weekend. This supposedly stemmed from an inauspicious start to the season and lack of game time.
Let me ask you this, does Marcus Rashford, a grounded, humble, local lad strike you as a man irreparably disillusioned with his 'situation' at United? I'm sure your answer would be emphatic in the negative.
Just how catastrophic is this so-called 'situation' in that he has been the player Mourinho has turned to the most of his time at United?
Just how catastrophic is this so-called 'situation' that Rashford is still a mere 20 years old with the world still at his feet, despite already clocking over 100 appearances and 30 goals for United?
Shortened memories are a classic symptom of football living in the here and present, but remember the times Ferguson had to juggle two lots of world-class striker quartets in Cole, Yorke, Sheringham, Solskjaer and Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov and Tevez? If those are two of the most painstaking headaches to remedy in possibly footballing history, how much of a hardship is biding your time and learning from the likes of Lukaku and Sanchez and vying with best mate Lingard and equal wunderkind in Martial?
Every squad has a dilemma of this kind year in year out- you don't hear Arsenal creating rumblings because one of Aubameyang or Lacazette play out wide, Gabriel Jesus having to leave City when Aguero starts as the sole striker and the boat isn't exactly rocked at Chelsea, where Olivier Giroud has to be content with a role on the bench.
Top teams require strength in depth and Rashford's time will undoubtedly come this season and in the years to come.
All this talk needs to quieten down a bit, yes I'm referring to the ex-Scouse pot stirrers Redknapp, Carragher, Souness, Bellamy, Thompson! Notice how no former United players believe Rashford should be agitating for a move anytime soon. That speaks volumes.
I'm not concerned one iota about Rashford leaving United – building on Thompson's staggeringly nonsensical claim that Mourinho doesn't trust Rashford, I refer you back to the fact that no player has figured more than the boy wonder. That is trust. Players Mourinho didn't trust or fancy? We are talking Schneiderlin, Memphis to name a couple. The reality is once Mourinho doesn't trust a player they are out of the door.
Gareth Southgate has moved to further extinguish any lingering concern from United's perspective by declaring, in quotes featured on Sky Sports, that Mourinho actually 'thinks the world' of Rashford.
Yes, Mourinho called him 'naïve' after his confrontation with Bardsley. The fact of the matter is that indeed he was. You should know, as a player especially if you make any sort of contact with your head, it should be a red card. No doubt many will have seen the interview and criticised Mourinho for calling him out in public, but the comments were hardly inflammatory and the player should know the gravity of his actions to refrain from any reaction.
That will not change the reality that Rashford remains an integral part of Mourinho's plans and, as an academy graduate, he has no intention of pushing for a move away. Why would he? After all, he's living the dream we all had as a kid.
Jesse Lingard, his brother in arms, made a worthy point on social media on Rashford's account after his moment of madness, it's all part of the learning process. Rashford will surely learn from the events at Turf Moor and come back stronger for it. It did appear to just be a momentary meltdown from a man so normally mild-mannered.
Don't let that blemish sway your opinions on Rashford…
Get behind him, like we are famed for and help him realise his potential.
Like Manchester, Rashford is red.

Is catnip safe for humans and what effects does it have on them? Find out the answers as we take a look at the health benefits of catnip for humans.
Catnip has traditionally been thought of as a wonderful stimulant for cats, but it also has numerous health benefits for their human counterparts. Yes, that's right; catnip is safe for humans and indeed has many positive effects when used properly.
For example, many people use catnip as an alternative method for treating the flu and colds, because catnip can cause a person to sweat, without increasing the actual temperature of the body. This is the diaphoretic effect of the herb.
Catnip can do more than help to treat colds and flu, however. Here are some of the other health benefits of catnip for humans.
While catnip seems to give cats more energy, used in low dosages it has the opposite effect on humans. It is actually used to calm the nerves, and it is successfully used in the treatment of motion sickness. Catnip is a natural muscle relaxer and sedative.
You may have success in treating insomnia or other sleep disorders with catnip for this reason. Use the leaves of catnip, because if you use the root to make a tea, you will have the opposite effect and may even become overly aggressive.
If you suffer from any condition that causes inflammation of your joints, muscles, or tissues, you can use catnip as an anti-inflammatory remedy.
You can create a catnip salve with melted beeswax and either olive oil or coconut oil combined with ground catnip. This can be applied topically to the inflamed area.
You can also use catnip tea for internal and external inflammation.
Rub your catnip salve on your head for a headache, or again, drink a cup of catnip tea.
There has not been a great deal of research in this area, but many herbalists and naturalists report that headache and migraine relief is possible with the use of catnip.
Other medical uses of catnip include relief for digestive problems, menstrual cramps, toothaches, asthma. Catnip can help to reduce fever, and it can be used as an antifungal and antibiotic.
If your menstrual period is late, but you are not pregnant, catnip can be used to help your period start.
It can even be used to treat worms, hemorrhoids and hives.
The health benefits are not the only reason to use catnip. Catnip makes an excellent meat tenderizer and is often used in cooking.
If you would like to dye your hair blonde but want to avoid harsh chemicals, you can dye it with catnip. Catnip can be used as a fungicide, and it is also used to repel insects and rodents.
It should be noted that there can also be some unwelcome side effects of catnip for humans if care is not taken.
When ingesting catnip, make sure you are not ingesting too much, as it can cause vomiting.
Pregnant and nursing women should avoid ingesting catnip in any form.
A known side effect of smoking catnip is that it may cause hallucinations.
Children should not ingest catnip.
You should also avoid catnip if you have Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
Make sure you inform your surgeon or anesthesiologist you are using catnip before any surgery or procedure that requires anesthesia.
When used properly and with caution, there are many benefits to catnip for humans. Just heed the above warnings and you can safely use catnip as a natural remedy for many things.

On-Call Pay Issue Undecided, as Calif. Ruling for Retailer Reversed
Richard Bridgford, founding partner of Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian spoke with Bloomberg Law about prevailing in a lawsuit against retailer Tilly's Inc. Bridgford said this decision could bring some equality to the relationship between workers and employers.
"In holding that the definition of 'reporting' does not require actual physical presence at the workplace, the decision helps to level the uneven playing field between retail employers and their employees—a balance which had been thrown further out of kilter by all the conveniences of the digital age," he said. "The reality is that with the advent of email and cellphones, employers became capable of tying up employees at all hours of the day."
The decision, in which a three-judge panel of the California Court of Appeal reversed an earlier court's decision in favor of the company and found that the procedures allegedly implemented by the company take advantage of workers by occupying their time without pay. The Feb. 4 ruling sent the case back to the trial court for further proceedings.
"As we explain, on-call shifts burden employees, who cannot take other jobs, go to school, or make social plans during on-call shifts—but who nonetheless receive no compensation from Tilly's unless they ultimately are called in to work," the judges wrote. "This is precisely the kind of abuse that reporting time pay was designed to discourage."

I think a few people might expect that 400m of open water swimming + a few obstacles might be easy for someone who has done multiple Ironman, I mean, 400m compared to 2.4 miles… easy, right? WRONG.
I was nervous the moment I had decided to take part in Neptune Steps as I know that my swimming is pretty weak, especially over a short distance when the pace needs to be fast! I'm not the biggest fan of swimming and I'm certainly a fair-weather swimmer – I don't usually get into the lake until it's 13 degrees at minimum!
However, I do like a challenge. I'm a big believer of getting out of your comfort zone, and I knew this definitely would be out of mine!
Based in Glasgow's Maryhill locks, the event is 400m of swimming where competitors have to hoist themselves over seven canal lock gates using ropes and ladders, ducking waterfalls as they go. This event takes place in March – meaning water temps could be around 2-5 degrees!
A wetsuit is a great place to start + boots – I think these are compulsory. I would highly encourage the use of neoprene gloves too as it can become pretty tricky to hold on to the ropes and obstacles without them, and they keep you a little warmer! I would really try to get some good ones for this… ones that won't fill up with water.
A Dryrobe would be the best decision you could make to pack, seriously! I didn't even take mine off to make the 6.5 hour journey home (yes I did look like a crazy person on all of my trains!), but it made the whole day a LOT more comfortable then it could have been!
Obviously you're going to need a good pair of goggles – the waterfalls really are quite powerful so you want a pair that will stay on your face!
I brought one towel and didn't need another thanks to my Dryrobe, and a spare change of clothes with some lovely warm socks!
The area around the canal gets pretty muddy, so I would pack a pair of trainers that you don't mind getting a bit dirty.
I'm not going to sugar-coat it, this event is tough! My initial worries all centred around the 5degree water temperature, but honestly once you've done the 2 minutes acclimatising (you have to do this before the start), you soon forget how cold it is until you get out and feel the pain in your hands!
The climbs are waaay more challenging than I anticipated, it really does require you to hoist your body weight over some difficult climbs, with water pounding down intl your face – it's not easy.
The actual swimming was harder than I thought – my arms didn't seem to want to move in the cold, so it was hard to sprint!
BUT, it was absolutely incredible, and if I could do it, anyone could! As soon as you cross the finish line you're draped in a big sparkly medal and passed a Red Bull – it tastes seriously good after the effort you've just put in.
I ended up doing x3 heats and consumed x3 Red Bulls – I needed ALL the caffeine and sugar to help me get through the race!
I absolutely loved the experience and it was definitely unlike any race that I have ever done. I would highly recommend if you want a challenge and a fun day out! You can watch my vlog here!

BHFFNYC '16: One Day in Sarajevo
At least in one respect, life in Sarajevo has changed for the better since the 100th anniversary of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination in 2014. After three years in mothballs, the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina has re-opened, in part thanks to a donation from the U.S. Embassy. The Archduke came to Sarajevo to preside over an opening ceremony at the museum, but as you might have heard, he never made it. Jasmila Žbanić samples the wide spectrum of Bosnian opinion on Franz Ferdinand and the trigger-man Gavrilo Princip, while documenting the commemorative festivities through crowd-sourced footage in the docu-essay One Day in Sarajevo, which screens during the eagerly anticipated 2016 Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival in New York.
To some Sarajevans, Princip was a righteous anti-Imperialist resistance fighter, while others are understandably put off by his Greater Serbian ideology. The latter often recognize the Archduke's sadly unrealized policies for decentralizing and liberalizing the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Frankly, it is hard to understand the affection for Princip, given how his attack directly led to WWI, which in turn sowed the seeds of WWII, which subsequently led into the Cold War, and eventually the Balkan War, but maybe you have to give him some credit for punching above his weight class.
Naturally, there are a number of festivities underway that Žbanić frames to maximize the irony. However, she also captures the "you can't go home again" emotions of a Canadian émigré's return visit with his preteen daughters. Perhaps the most poignant moments are the nearly empty museum, where unpaid staffers still show up for work daily to keep up basic maintenance and prevent theft. Although Žbanić's cameras document it as its loneliest and shabbiest, the museum is still a lovely building with great potential (so it is nice to know it is now serving its proper function).
In between the crowd scenes, cab rides, and general life happening, Žbanić inter-splices scenes from various cinematic portrayals of Franz Ferdinand's fateful motorcade. Spoiler alert: it always ends badly for the Archduke. Sometimes One Day in Sarajevo feels like Žbanić is just hitting the random button, but there are enough interesting moments to make it worthwhile, especially when seen with a knowing audience, like Bosnian-Herzegovinian Festival's patrons. Recommended for those in the mood for some provocative sight-seeing, One Day in Sarajevo screens this Thursday (5/26) at the SVA Theatre, as part of this year's BHNYC. (The brutally powerful No One's Son is even more forcefully recommended when it also screens earlier in the evening.)

Based on an empirical analysis of author usage of CoRR, and of its predecessor in the Los Alamos eprint archives, it is shown that CoRR has not yet been able to match the early growth of the Los Alamos physics archives. Some of the reasons are implicit in Halpern's paper, and we explore them further here. In particular we refer to the need to promote CoRR more effectively for its intended community - computer scientists in universities, industrial research labs and in government. We take up some points of detail on this new world of open archiving concerning central versus distributed self-archiving, publication, the restructuring of the journal publishers' niche, peer review and copyright.
ACM classification: H.4.3 Communications Applications
Keywords: Computing Research Repository, CoRR, eprint archives, Open Archives
CoRR leads the way to open archives
The architects of the Computing Research Repository (CoRR) were remarkably prescient but have not yet been rewarded in terms of the growth of the archive and the number of archived papers.
CoRR's 'hybrid' architecture described by Halpern, based on the repository software used by the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) eprint archives but with access to distributed archives using the protocol and common interface developed for NCSTRL, has since been largely adopted by the Open Archives initiative (OAi). News of this must have reached Halpern as he completed his paper as it elicits a mention at the very end. Like CoRR, the initiative envisages a 'global multi-disciplinary research collection', and the vital component in this vision is the open interface that allows third-party services to enhance access to the contents of these distributed archives, for example, the reference linking service for archives that we are developing in the Open Citation project (Harnad et al. 1999).
Submission rates to CoRR
Not surprisingly, this open architecture has not yet brought many new computer science authors to CoRR, judging by the rate of submission of papers. Nor, it appears, has it brought publishers other than the ACM, its main initial sponsor, to publicly support and work with the archive. This contrasts with PubMed Central (http://pubmedcentral.nih.gov/), the new eprint archive from the National Institutes of Health serving fields in biomedicine and life sciences, which is predicated on the support of publishers - yet to be realised on a large scale - as it only allows materials to be posted by cooperating publishers, not by authors.
Formally, CoRR was launched in September 1998, but folded into the archive are papers posted to the LANL computation and language (cmp-lg) archive that began in 1994, and papers from the electronic Journal of AI Research (JAIR) which are archived according to date of publication (not date of archiving). Hence CoRR appears to have a history of posting prior to its launch.
Submission rates to CoRR from 1993, including the prior archives, can be seen in Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows submissions on an annualised basis (with the data for this year loosely extrapolated from data for the first two calendar months only). Figure 2 shows the monthly data to date. The lines for CoRR post-September 1998 subsume the total postings to cmp-lg and JAIR.
It should be noted that submission to the Los Alamos archives requires authors to specify a principal archive for the paper, but allows papers to be cross-listed between archives, again as the author directs. Our graphs show these different categories of papers, i.e. those native to CoRR, and those which presumably are primarily physics or maths papers but which are also indexed within CoRR. While there were very few cross-listed papers pre-CoRR (less than ten), the wider scope of CoRR has enabled a more significant number of papers to be cross-listed since.
Figure 1. Annualised rate of submissions since 1993 to the LANL computer science archive, which became CoRR in 1998. Cross-listings are papers that have their main listing in other non-CoRR LANL archives
Figure 2. The same data as Figure 1 shown on a monthly basis to February 2000 (the total is omitted for clarity)
So what is the effect of CoRR? There was a noticeably high level of activity immediately pre- and post- the launch of CoRR, a one-off blip shown in Figure 2. The total number of papers accessible on CoRR is just over 1600. These data, taken directly from the archive, do not quite match Halpern's quoted figures which indicated about 1800 papers in the archive at the time of his writing. Approximately 1000 papers in total were submitted between 1994 and the start of CoRR and, so far, about 600 (both native and cross-listed) since. Due to the way CoRR was filled out just prior to the official launch, we can't be precise about this breakdown.
We can also look at the data from the perspective of submitting authors. In this case we have derived our results from analysis of a copy of the Los Alamos archive that we hold locally for the purposes of the Open Citation project. These figures are only until October. Until that date we find, from a list of corresponding authors (not all named authors) based on email addresses, that nearly 800 unique authors have submitted to the archive. One author has posted 103 papers, another has posted 55 papers. Of all authors, 220 have posted to the CS archive only since CoRR was launched. Given the shape of the curves it could be assumed that many of these 'new' authors were attracted to post in the archive by the establishment of CoRR, so this is some measure of the impact of CoRR in its main constituency.
The CogPrints archive (http://cogprints.soton.ac.uk/) for cognitive sciences has similar numbers so far (900 submitted papers, with no previous LANL archive) but such figures are rather eclipsed by LANL's 128,000 papers. In economics, RePec (http://netec.mcc.ac.uk/RePEc/) is rather more advanced with 71,000 papers, but this is a distributed archive, with papers actively harvested rather than depending on central deposits (Van de Sompel et al. 2000). The Open Archives initiative may well be what puts all the self-archiving approaches, central and distributed, over the top by integrating them all through the glue of interoperability (Van de Sompel and Lagoze 2000).
In computer science the totals for CoRR are small compared with the 27,000+ papers quoted to be on the institutional servers that comprise NCSTRL. For another reference point, the Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies (http://liinwww.ira.uka.de/bibliography/) claims to contain 'more than one million references (mostly to journal articles, conference papers and technical reports)', of which more than 90,000 link to a full-text version of the paper.
Of course, CoRR is far behind the number of papers now held across all the LANL archives, but a fairer comparison is with the early years of the LANL from 1991. At an equivalent stage, 18 months after launch, LANL was attracting about 400 papers/month and held 3700 papers in total. Nearly half of these papers were being submitted to the original, and largest, of the LANL archives hep-th (high-energy physics-theoretical). It was eight months or so before LANL began to develop other archives of significant size (Figure 3). The number of submissions per month in hep-th reached a plateau of 200-300 papers/month from about month 40 (Figure 4). Growth in the rate of submissions to the archives since then can be shown to be effectively linear, much of this growth coming from the addition of new archives. The implications of this linearity for the entire physics journal literature were commented on by Smith (1999a) of the American Physical Society:
LANL has grown at a pretty much linear rate, handling probably 25,000 new submissions this year, 20,000 last year, 15,000 the year before, etc. Projecting this linear growth forward it will take another 10 or so years to capture all articles published in pure physics (currently something like 1/3 of papers we receive also appear on the archive), roughly 50 years to capture both pure and applied physics, and at least 200 years to capture most of scientific publishing.
Figure 3. Submissions/month to LANL archives, also showing submission rate to the archive for high-energy physics-theoretical (hep-th)
Figure 4. Submissions/month to LANL archives across an extended timescale compared with Figure 3, showing the plateau in rate of submissions to the hep-th archive
Care has to be exercised in comparing LANL and CoRR directly. Internet services were different then, and certain sectors in physics always had a culture that is more amenable to circulating preprints (Odlyzko 1997). The equivalent pre-publication form in computer science is conferences and technical reports.
Building a community of authors
Why does CoRR not yet appear to have caught the imagination of its key constituency? Halpern suggests that source formats, fears of plagiarism and LANL's unfriendly user interface for submissions are among the possible restraining factors. For users relief is on the way. The CogPrints archiving software (modeled on LANL) is being redesigned to make it compliant with the OAi's Santa Fe convention (Van de Sompel and Lagoze 2000) as well as generic, so that it can be used by all universities (free) to set up theirs own open archives in all of their own disciplines -- and every effort has been made to make it as simple and useful as possible, for both author and reader (Harnad 1999).
As Halpern recognises, the reluctance of authors to commit to CoRR probably has more to do with the nature of the formal publishing process. CoRR does not require any rights in a submitted work but recognises that publishers may subsequently acquire all rights in refereed versions and can ask for the preprint to be withdrawn from freely accessible archives. This is a substantive issue. There has been no copyright challenge to LANL in its decade of existence, and a major publisher in physics, the American Physical Society (APS), officially allows self-archiving of both unrefereed preprints and refereed reprints. Hopefully all other journal publishers will soon follow suit.
In this respect, CoRR does not have a sufficiently robust stance in its relationship with journals or journal publishers. As Halpern notes, many of the major publishers in computer science allow preprints to be retained in eprint archives, and some learned society publishers among them allow the final refereed version to be posted too. Archives could indicate for the benefit of authors which publishers have so far agreed to work with them and under what conditions. Smaller electronic journals with advanced policies in particular might benefit from the recognition that this would bring. At this stage there would be significant, mutually realisable cross-promotional benefits between CoRR and the journals. CoRR does not need to favour any particular journals, simply list and link those that conform to its policies. This is one way of recognising CoRR's contributory, not subsidiary role, in disseminating the refereed journal literature.
The launch of PubMed Central has been the catalyst for two new services providing free access to preprint and refereed papers by two well known publishers in the biomedical field:
NetPrints in clinical medicine and health research (http://clinmed.netprints.org/) from the BMJ and HighWire Press
BioMed Central (http://www.biomedcentral.com/start.asp) from Current Science.
This may make a vital connection for authors, but there are other signs in Halpern's paper that CoRR may not yet have fully understood its authors. Kling and McKim (1999) argue that fields will continue to exhibit different communications practices during the shift to electronic communications and that we are unlikely to converge on a stable set of electronic forums. In which case, it cannot be assumed that the success of the Los Alamos physics archives will translate to computer science unless the approach is modified in some way.
The journal publishing culture within a discipline offers some pointers on how its electronic communications practices might develop. Despite the assertions of publisher support referred to above, there is an underlying lack of confidence that publishers of computer science journals will in general respond positively to the prospect of freely accessible archives, especially if these are to contain refereed versions of papers. This is evident from Halpern's inference that where there are many journals in a field, as in computer science, those journals can exert less influence over archives than in fields with fewer dominant journals, such as biomedicine. In other words, Halpern is hoping that CoRR will not depend on the support of journal publishers and editors, but fails to take account of the likely preferences of authors implied by their continued use and support for the journals.
A field with many journals is fragmented. In the case of computer science, continuing fragmentation of the field in terms of its journals suggests, until now at least, that its authors did not expect, or did not desire, wide recognition for the public manifestation of their work. As in other scholarly fields there is a demonstrated preference for publication - for scholarly works this is legitimised by inclusion in a collected work moderated by one's immediate peers - but in computer science the lesson of fragmentation is that this has been at the expense of communication among the widest possible audience. While the journals' control of these limited channels may be tenuous, bypassing the journals may not deliver the authors to CoRR, reinforcing the need for the archive to indicate its links with journals and publishers
An important potential misunderstanding has to be cleared up here: LANL is not a 'fast publication'; it is not a publication at all, in academic terms, any more than a paper preprint or an oral conference report are publications. LANL contains both unrefereed preprints and refereed reprints. The latter are indeed publications, but only because they have been refereed and accepted for publication by a peer-reviewed journal.
Computer science is characterised as a dynamically changing field and it is to this that the continuing fragmentation of the field is frequently attributed. CoRR's interpretation of this fragmentation is shown in its use of the ACM classification system. Halpern acknowledges that this 'does not map well to current major areas of academic computer science'.
Nor does it help that the ACM is half-hearted in its endorsement of CoRR: a 'two year experiment' (due to end this year) during which the ACM 'is examining the impact that this will have on journal sales'. It is reasonable to review the progress of a large initiative such as CoRR, but scholarly archiving projects require a long-term commitment without which there is a fundamental, possibly fatal, weakness. For the ACM's publishing activities, as for CoRR, the outcome of the review could be critical. Markets move very quickly on the Web and it would be risky for the ACM to revert to exclusive priority for its journals. Instead it should seek to continue asserting an influence on CoRR. Like Halpern, we hope for a positive decision from the ACM and a stronger statement of support for CoRR later this year.
Universal access for all and enhanced services
The most powerful argument for CoRR, for its authors and users, and ultimately for publishers, especially those that recognise this early, is the ability of free-to-post, free-to view archives to transform access to the scholarly journal literature. Universal access will be the platform for enhanced services, many of which could be commercial services, briefly described by Halpern: 'Publishers could provide value added to authors and readers such as summarization services, advanced searching tools, awareness, and filtering services that build on the content in CoRR-like repositories'. It would also be possible to 'experiment with other ways of filtering papers besides traditional peer review', one approach being the addition of comment facilities, Halpern argues. Currently, the primary example of an archive-based service is the 'overlay' journal, such as implemented by the APS (Smith 1999b).
For some the essential service is still quality-control/certification (and that is indeed a rather dynamic form of filtering) implemented by peer review. New add-on services will have to prove themselves in their own right. Will there be any demand for proprietary classifiers once the full, tagged texts are all archived, interoperable, and free? Will there be any demand for secondary publishers' services and products (abstracts, indices) or will autonomous citation indexing services such as NECI's ResearchIndex (http://www.researchindex.com/) or generic search engines do? Citation-linking is already on the way for free (http://opcit.eprints.org/). Should publishers be redirecting their efforts, or should they consolidate their traditional niche (quality-control/certification)? Just as self-archiving is a supplement rather than a substitute for publication, so peer commentary is a supplement rather than a substitute for peer review (Harnad 1998). And before risking the quality of the research literature, hypothetical alternatives had best be rigorously tested.
The scope for CoRR is enormous, both within the NCSTRL network and within the Open Archives framework. The policy and design decisions on which CoRR is based are correct, and it is well positioned to serve the growing demand for free, universal access to the scholarly journal literature. To achieve its aims it needs more effective promotion, stronger support from its principal sponsors and a clearer relationship with refereed journals and publishers.

Fighting Fifth Trends
Fighting Fifth
The Fighting Fifth is a Grade 1 Hurdle contest, run at Newcastle over a distance of slightly more than two miles. With nine hurdles to jump, it is also the first leg of the Hurdling Triple Crown.
The event was established back in 1969, and has been won by a number of classy hurdles of yesteryear. The title of the race refers to the "Fighting Fifth", the nickname of the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers.
It was promoted to Grade 1 status in 2004 after being known as a limited Handicap before being a Grade 2, and it is now the first top-grade hurdle race of the British National Hunt season.
Last year, the race was taken by the Nicky Henderson-trained Buveur D'Air, who is now a dual winner of the Champion Hurdle, and goes back to Newcastle to retain his title, from two of the finest young guns around, in Samcro and Summerville Boy.
The contest is known to many as an early-season trial for the Champion Hurdle, with the Nicky Henderson-trained Punjabi (2008) and Buveur D'Air as previously mentioned (2018), the last horses to win both races in the same season.
An early-season trial for the Champion Hurdle, as well as being an early-season treat for all racing fans. Rarely do you see such clashes so early on in the season, as many try to avoid each other's paths on the road to the Cheltenham Festival. Samcro and Summerville are just two of the five trying to bring an end to Buveur D'Air's supremacy in this division.
A Grade 1, with top hurdlers staking their credentials, all but one of the last sixteen winners had won at least a Grade 2 before. Ten of the last 16 victors had won their last race, with the same number running in the six weeks leading up to this feature - 14 of those (16) finishing in the top two. 13 of the last 16 had won at least four times over hurdles in the past, but due to Newcastle poor overall fixture list, only three winners had actually raced over hurdles at Newcastle before.
Favourites have a good enough record to attract market interest, with half of the last 16 favourites going onto win this Northern feature; an average SP of 5/1. Samcro - represents Ireland, who have a satisfactory record in the race, winning six of the last sixteen. Nicky Henderson (BVD) has won it four times, with Paul Nicholls claiming it twice, both successes coming in the last four years.
13 of the last 16 winners went on to race in the Champion Hurdle later that same season, with 10 of those placing in the top three. 12 of the last sixteen were rated 151 or higher, meaning it all looks positive for all the runners bar one here, including last year's Ballymore victor - Samcro, the Supreme Novice Champion - Summerville Boy, and the one they all need to beat .. Buveur D'Air.

And now I'm rethinking every time I ever thought I'd reached my limit. Whose limit? Turns out it was nobody but me all along.
I live with runners. I'm supportive. That is pleasant.
I have zero understanding for the running. Runners look so happy when they talk about it. Keep bringing up that runner's high and I'm like yeah, right, all the goodness, except you have to get through pain and suffering and holy crap I'm gonna die to get there. Don't have it in me. Nope.
I wonder if they have tasted ice cream. Ice cream is straight on euphoria.
I'm enjoying his quotes, too. Thanks, Linda. I've had the hardest time linking that particular post! I link my scheduled post to the permalink but on Wednesday mornings I update the link in my post to connect to your current week's entry. Usually that produces a pingback but not this week. Guess there isn't a way to link until you've published your own…?
Yep, you have to have an actual post to ping back to, unfortunately. I schedule my Wednesday posts to appear at 2am my time every Wednesday.
I guess if your definition of "suffering" is getting all emotional about your pain, then it's optional. If your definition of "suffering" is being harmed by the pain, then it isn't always optional. Just my contrarian two cents' worth.
I suppose a lot of it is in the definition. Much of my suffering has come from me taking in my problems & compounding the pain. That's been on me.
I do get that. I often have to school myself to reject the "sorry for myself" component of pain. Which, you know, doesn't make it really less painful.
We choose that option far too often. I hope you can leave it behind, though, the next time you have a choice.
I know I've chosen it often over the years. I'm doing better these days. When I forget I usually catch myself, and that's half the battle right there.
That is so important to understand.
And not a lesson I was ready to learn until lately, I think.


The family of Mr Ishmael Toff-Mensah, a Ghanaian being held in Ukranian prison since July 28, 2018, is calling on government to investigate and help secure his release.
Mr Toff-Mensah, a 32-year old Ghanaian and a former student of Pope John Senior High School, is currently a Master of Business Administration student at the University of Ghana. He was interdicted at a Ukrainian airport when he travelled to visit a nephew studying in Ukraine.
His sister, Ms Maame Borsah Barikisu Toff-Mensah, in an interview with the Daily Graphic, said her brother was impressed upon to visit his nephew by the family as he was reluctant to do so.
"He didn't want to go and we even had to force him to visit his nephew", she said.
She said her brother travelled to Ukraine from Accra on July 27, made a transit at Istanbul before arriving in Kiev on July 28, 2018.
He then notified the family of his safe arrival via social media chat and also indicated that he was held up at immigration check.
The hold up, according to Ms Toff-Mensah, lasted 14 hours where the nephew in Ukraine had to be called to come pick the luggage brought by Mr Toff-Mensah from Ghana.
"They said the luggage was too much and they asked him if he was surely going to return. He even showed them his student identification card just to prove to them that he was going to return to his country", she said.
While detained at the airport, she revealed, her brother was made to sign a document written in a Ukrainian language, which he didn't understand and was told it was for his deportation.
"After everything, they asked him to go. My nephew was then at the airport waiting for him. My brother stepped out of the airport and gave his stuff to my nephew and then a car came to pick him up" she added.
She indicated that he was whisked away to a police cell and later moved to the Lukyanivska Prison in Kiev where a preliminary hearing was held on July 30 with an adjourned sitting set for September 12, 2018.
She said the family was worried about the deteriorating condition of their relative, who was being fed with bread and sugar solution.
Moreover, the family has been denied contact with their relative for over a week now, she said.
Efforts by the family, according to Ms Toff- Mensah, to rescue the fifth and only male child among six children, have so far not been successful.
She said the family had already contacted the Ghanaian Consul in Ukraine, sent a petition to the Ministry of foreign Affairs and Regional Integration and also arranged for a lawyer in Ukraine to defend the brother.
The situation, she said, has also worsened the medical condition of their mother who is hypertensive and has been in-and-out of the hospital.
"They should bring him home. I need my brother home. He is not there to do anything", Ms Toff-Mensah pleaded.


In this post I explore an apparent paradox: sometimes, the less you know, the quicker you need to act. We explore this idea and its nuances through a survival race analogy.
With decisions there's always the question of do you need to decide now, or can you wait? Is anyone trying to rush you? That's a topic for a different post. Today let's assume that you have to move, you can't simply wait it out.
Challenge: You are stranded, lacking any supplies, getting thirstier and hungrier by the hour. You need to get from where you are (the viewpoint in the picture) to a supply pack with essential supplies. You don't know the exact position of the supply pack, it's small and you can't see it from here, but you know it's towards the horizon. Competitors are present and the first to get it wins.
It's daylight, clear weather, perfect visibility. It makes sense to plan. The 15-20 minutes you'll spend looking carefully at the landscape and mapping out a route before setting into the terrain down there and losing your vantage point from a height are definitely worth it as they will save you much pain and delay later on. Look for major landmarks, like mountains in the distance, which way should you be facing them as you move? Look at the sun, determine and memorize the North in relation to the landmarks. On the path you've mapped out in your head, do you see any high points you could scale as you get there to better see what's ahead? Can you guesstimate your speed, by where do you think you'll be by nightfall? Is that a river you see in the distance? Do you see any difficult terrain you'd like to avoid? Do you see any further water that you'd like to go by and rehydrate from? Do you see any of your competitors anywhere?
When you have easy access to relevant information, it's worth gathering it, interpreting and planning on it. Beware of diminishing returns: you'll learn 80% of what can be learned very quickly and you could agonize for ever over the remaining 20%. Don't.
You can still see the sun and the big, major landmarks so that's still worth taking in and memorizing. You can see that there's valleys and canyons up ahead but it's impossible to decide from here in detail how to navigate them. Best you can do is map a high level course, avoiding the main shapes . Any small distant bodies of water would be impossible to see from here, unless maybe the bright sun would glean into them at just the right angle and they'd shine like mirrors. You wouldn't be able to see any competitors unless they were in your vicinity.
You are aware of your own information gathering shortcomings. You quickly determine what you can, you are aware of what you can't see, and you move. Moving for your is not just about sprinting to your destination, it's equally about being able to see more as you move along.
Good for you if you're shortsighted, as everyone with good vision just lost their competitive advantage.
There's almost nothing to see. You can maybe, maybe, distinguish the shape of the biggest mountains against the almost pitch black sky. You can maybe hear some lone animals making noises. You can determine North from the few visible stars but that's really about it. It's a risk to travel at night in these conditions. You could spend precious energy going in directions that lead to dead ends and you may have to backtrack for miles. You have a headlamp so you can see where you step and a few meters ahead, but that's about it. If you were in comfort and there'd be no rush, the decision would be a no brainer: wait for sun up. This way though, with aggressive competitors, thirst and hunger to consider, waiting for better visibility is almost certain failure.
Counterintuitively, you have less reason plan at night when you can't see, than at day when you can see well. In competitive situations, lack of information is not a reason to wait, but to aggressively move. This creates risk, but in highly tense and competitive landscapes, the risk of moving into darkness may be lesser than the risk of waiting.
Traditional management is focused on detailed analysis, planning and justification of decisions. I would argue that the detail of a plan is not the same as the quality of the plan. Sometimes, they can even opposites. Worse, due to corporate politics, analysis paralysis frequently happens simply to protect careers and positions, with no other reason behind it.
What many managers miss is that a decision is not just a commitment to invest resources in a certain course of action. A decision is a also a gateway to more knowledge, to further decisions. A decision is a learning mechanism. If you can't see, you have to move, and by moving you'll see more, learn more, and adjust course. A decision today is a prerequisite for the decision you'll need to make tomorrow. You can't skip these intermediary decisions unless you have a very clear view of the situation and easy access to relevant information, but then again, if you do, we're probably not talking about innovative, ambiguous, emerging, highly competitive landscapes.
The darker it is, the more aggressively you may have to move.

Q: differences between nhibernate 1.2 and 2.0 I can't seem to find any information on what the actual differences are between nhibernate 1.2 and 2.0. I have found information regarding what the potential issues are with upgrading, but nothing on what new features are included, or anything about performance differences.
If there are significant differences between the two that could make our development more efficient or easier then I would like to recommend an upgrade to my supervisor. If there isn't anything in there worth messing with then I can't see a point in trying to upgrade a currently stable library.
I was going to post links to the information I have already reviewed, but I'm not allowed to as I'm considered a new user.

A: I spent 6 months conning my work into an upgrade.  Let me simply state some of the benefits we noticed, so that you may show the powers that be:

*

*Session start up time was dramatically reduced.  This is the amount of time it takes for the SessionFactory to initialize on startup.  Time was ~45 sec, and now is ~5 sec.  Not so much an issue for production, but definitely a hassle for dev.  Keep in mind we have roughly 200 domain objects.

*We took advantage of lazy loading (and I don't mean collections, but classes) on upgrade which is the default.  That is a change from 1.2 to 2.0. But we did run into issues with objects that weren't fully loaded that were disconnected from session.  Those weren't easy to find, but easy to solve.

*We took advantage of batching, which I think was new.  That had some big improvements on bulk update operations, which NH isn't really intended for.

*With the 2 improvements above, we saw a time reduction for specific nightly operations by 30%.

*One of our biggest complaints about the old framework, is that it became difficult to find support and current information for 1.2.

*There is improved Criteria Query support for things like paging and counts.  Criteria Queries are nice, because they leverage 1st level cache.

*Strongly typed collections are quite pleasant to work with.  We enjoy occasionally using LINQ, instead of complex SQL, on domain objects and having strongly typed collections is a must for that.

*We use also use Ayende's profiler, currently built for 2.0+

*There are others, but in summary our migration experience wasn't nearly as scary as we thought.  And we have some legacy stuff that would make NH folks shudder.  You'll need to change your config settings, upgrade some deprecated interfaces (I think we had less than 30 in our solution), but the biggest pain is making all properties/methods of your domain objects virtual.  I actually wrote a quick program to comb through our domain objects and do this since we had so many.

Iran spares no effort to boost Afghan security: President Rouhani
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says a secure and stable Afghanistan is essential to regional security and development, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic will spare no effort to promote lasting peace in the war-ravaged country.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready and will spare no effort to help establish sustainable peace and fight terrorism in Afghanistan," Rouhani said in a meeting with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on the sidelines of a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in the Chinese port city of Qingdao on Saturday.
He added that Iran and Afghanistan have a common culture and trade interests and said, "Iran is determined to expand relations with [its] neighbors, particularly Afghanistan, and run a joint venture in various development projects such as transport infrastructure."
He stressed the importance of connecting regional countries, including Central Asian states, to the Persian Gulf, for the development of the entire region.
The Iranian president also welcomed an Afghan government proposal to announce a ceasefire with the Taliban and expressed hope that intra-Afghan talks would lead to the promotion of stability in Afghanistan.
The Taliban announced in a statement on Saturday that it had agreed to a three-day ceasefire with Afghan security forces for Eid al-Fitr Muslim holidays in the middle of June, following a truce deal already proposed by President Ghani.
The ceasefire, the first offer of its kind, will begin either on Friday or Saturday, as Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, falls on one of these days.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian president also called for cooperation between Iran and Afghanistan as well as other states in the region in the fight against the production and smuggling of illicit drugs, which he said constituted a problem for the entire region.
Enhanced cooperation with Iran serves Afghan interests: Ghani
The Afghan president, for his part, said development of cooperation with Iran would serve his country's national interests.
Ghani expressed hope that Iran would help Afghanistan restore security and said Kabul is ready to boost all-out cooperation with Tehran in the campaign against narcotics smuggling.
Iran, Belarus must use potential to strengthen ties: Rouhani
In a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, the Iranian president said the two countries must make use of their utmost capacities to strengthen relations in all fields.
"Tehran is ready to expand and strengthen economic and share trade ties, particularly in the fields of science and modern technology, with the friendly country of Belarus," Rouhani added.

He emphasized that Iran is the best route for connecting the Central Asian and Caucasus countries as well as Southeastern European states to the Persian Gulf.
The Belarusian president, for his part, said his country is keen on promoting all-out relations with Iran as a key strategic partner.

A relative new comer, opening its shop in 2002, LUMP has already smoothed to the top of Tokyo's street scene. Tokyo designers Hiroaki Shitano/whiz and Atsushi Horiki/Rebirth have developed two brands now commonly referred to as "LUMP Style."
These two street-wear brands have been known to create one-of-a-kind orginality and highly recognizable design. A definitive leader oF Tokyo's street scene, whiz and Rebirth's designs are truly happening, bringing diverse fashion genres together at new levels. Eclisping the more well-known and established street-wear names of Tokyo, whiz and Rebirth have pioneered a new generation with a solid presence, rising above the saturated market and providing a new "eye" for Tokyo's street scene.
Rebirth - Collaborating with the Japanese movie distribution company for the legendary Tod Browning's 1932 horror film "Freaks" producing official t-shirts for the revival showing in Japan has contributed to their credit. Also successful, creating an incredibly detailed official "Sloth" figurine from the movie "Goonies" featuring all hand made clothing.
whiz - In a collaboration with Marvel Comics resulting in further exposure, whiz was granted free use of all the comic's characters and logos. Changing colors and layouts, whiz produced a T-shirt line resulting in a great impact mutually. "I was fortunate enough to show my previous season's catalog to Marvel Comics and they really liked it. I did not mean to go in this direction but it's an honor to do something like this.", whiz designer Hiroaki quoted as saying.
When we asked Hiroaki and Atsushi where they come up with such exceptional designs, they said, "We really don't have a distinct concept or theme like one would expect. Each seasons represents ourselves and what has influenced us the most. We create things from our surroundings." Such dedication and the resulting fame has caused many young followers to step aside and accept Hiroaki and Atsushi"s "LUMP Style" as the untouchable leader.


Are you someone who gets angry very easily...perhaps too easily? Do you fly off the handle at things that don't seem to be that important. If so, you could just be a hothead, or most likely you could be struggling with grief and loss. The movie 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was a really good example of how people experience anger in reaction to grief and loss...and nothing else.
First of all, everybody has losses. No one gets out of this world without experiencing at least a couple of big losses in their lifetime. Secondly, you aren't alone in feeling anger some or much of the time. One of the stages of the grieving process is anger. The only thing is that some folks get stuck in this stage or phase. That's what happened to Frances McDormand's and Sam Rockwell's characters in the movie. They got angry and just never stopped being angry. For some folks anger is the only acceptable emotion to feel. Take soldiers for example. They may feel like anger is the only okay emotion to feel. There are good reasons for this: it helps them to survive and it keeps the enemy away. The only thing is that unless you're in a war zone it isn't usually acceptable or practical to be angry all the time.
What you need is to move through the grieving process, and unless you get some help and support your anger could get you stuck in the process and turn into depression. In any case, just staying in anger isn't going to help you get through the process. Some people can stay angry for a very long time, but it takes its toll on mental health, relationships, and people's physical health. Getting help from a trained professional in counseling can be the difference between working through your losses, and losing your own life in addition to the loss you're suffering. And losses are a part of life, but they don't require your own life to end because of them.
None of the characters in 3 Billboards got any grief counseling, but Frances McDormand's and Sam Rockwell's characters did go on a road trip at the end of the movie and suggest that there might be a common destination for the two of them. You and I can go on a journey of sorts to the end of the grieving process where acceptance and resolution are possible. It may not seem like that's possible, but beyond your anger and other unpleasant emotions is a place of healing that I can help make possible. I've worked with dozens of individuals that have had losses not too different from yours. I can assure you that if they can get through these losses so can you. I encourage you to give me a call at 512-374-0100 or email me at scott@scottkampschaeferlcsw.com to find out how my years of experience can be brought to bear on your situation, too.

What is breach of contact?
What if I get sued for an auto accident?
When two or more parties have an agreement for the performance of services or the purchase of goods or property, and a party fails to do what they agreed. An agreement concerning real estate must be in writing. If you have a breach of contract situation, call us today for a free phone consultation.
STANDARD OF REVIEW FOR APPEALING A BREACH OF CONTRACT OPINION
Michigan requires that every vehicle be insured. Since it is a no fault insurance state, the vehicle repairs and uncovered medical expenses are paid by the insurance covering each vehicle. However, if you do not have insurance, you can be sued by the other driver's insurance company for the costs associated with the accident.
If I am a landlord, when can I evict a tenant?
A tenant can be evicted for non-payment of rent or for breaching a condition of the lease agreement. In addition, if it is a month-to-month lease, then the tenant can be evicted after being given 30 days notice. If you evict a tenant, make sure you provide an accounting of any off-sets against the security deposit and mail it to the tenant. Click here for the forms: https://www.co.jackson.mi.us/734/Forms
The standard of review on appeal is determined by whether a particular issue is a question of law or a question of fact. "Questions of law are reviewed de novo on appeal." Brucker v McKinlay Transp, 225 Mich App 442 (1997). The proper interpretation of a contract is a question of law that is reviewed de novo on appeal. Phillips v Homer (In re Egbert R Smith Tr), 480 Mich 19 (2008). "[F]actual findings are reviewed under the 'clearly erroneous' standard of review." Brucker, 225 Mich App at 448.
The initial question of whether a contract is ambiguous is a question of law. DaimlerChrysler Corp v Wesco Distribution, the initial question of whether a contract is ambiguous is a question of law. DaimlerChrysler Corp v Wesco Distribution, 281 Mch App 240 (2008). Thus, the initial question of whether a given contract is ambiguous is always subject to de novo review. See also DaimlerChrysler Corp (whether contract is ambiguous is question of law for court to decide). The de novo standard of review applies when the contract terms are unambiguous. Prentis Family Found, Inc v Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Inst, 266 Mich App 39 (2005).
On the other hand, the clearly erroneous standard may be applied if the contractual language is ambiguous or incomplete or if the circumstances are unusual. Zinchook v Turkewycz, 128 Mich App 513 (1983). Situations involving extrinsic, nondocumentary evidence are reviewed under the clearly erroneous standard. Brown v Forrester Constr Co, 372 Mich 204 (1963).
STANDARD FOR A MOTION FOR DIRECTED VERDICT
Meagher v Wayne State Univ, 222 Mich App 700 (1997),
Reviewing grant of directed verdict, appellate court considers decision de novo and must consider evidence in light most favorable to nonmoving party and make all reasonable inferences in that party's favor. Directed verdict is appropriate only where no factual question exists on which reasonable minds could differ.
Stoken v JET Elecs & Tech, Inc, 174 Mich App 457 (1988),
In deciding whether trial court erred in granting or denying directed verdict, appellate court reviews all evidence presented to determine whether question of fact existed.
In doing so, appellate court views evidence in light most favorable to nonmoving party, granting it every reasonable inference and resolving any conflict in evidence in nonmoving party's favor.
Farrell v Automobile Club of Mich, 155 Mich App 378 (1986),
When reviewing trial court's refusal to grant defendant's motion for directed verdict or judgment notwithstanding verdict, court of appeals examines evidence and all legitimate inferences that may be drawn from evidence in light most favorable to plaintiff. If evidence, viewed in this manner, would permit reasonable jury to reach different conclusions, motion should be denied by trial court since neither trial court nor court of appeals may substitute its judgment for that of jury.
Here, evidence sufficiently established that reasonable minds could have reached different conclusions regarding whether plaintiff's dismissal violated provision in his employment contract, and defendant's motion for directed verdict was properly denied.
People v Martin, 150 Mich App 630 (1986).
When reviewing denial of motion for directed verdict of acquittal, appellate court must view evidence presented at trial in light most favorable to prosecution and determine whether rational trier of fact could have found that essential elements of crime were proven beyond reasonable doubt.
McClaine v Alger, 150 Mich App 306 (1986), In reviewing grant of motion for directed verdict in favor of defendant, court of appeals must view testimony and all legitimate inferences arising from evidence in light most favorable to plaintiff.
When evidence, viewed in this manner, establishes prima facie case, grant of directed verdict must be reversed. Party moving for directed verdict must state specific grounds on which motion is based, and appellate court may not review grounds for sustaining directed verdict that were not first articulated before trial court.

These adorable crochet Zelda ornaments have been in my Etsy cart for years. I am a huge Zelda fan and these simple-but-charming ornaments sang to my nerdy heart. This year my list was a mile long and I fell way short on what I was planning on sharing with you guys, but I decided to prioritize these cute ornaments.
I reached out to Becca from Crocheting in Canada, the designer behind these ornaments and she agreed to give you guys a 50% off coupon!
Use code CHRISTMAS2018 to get 50% off the Zelda Ornament pattern.
The coupon is good until New Years Day 2019.
Also, I stumbled on something this week and it was super helpful knowledge for making these ornaments. Have you heard of the cross stitch sc? This sc has a lovely cross-stitch effect and is achieved by grabbing the yarn a slightly different way.
I used Red Heart Soft with my health heart bauble, and Knit Picks Brava with my TriForce, but I might use something bulkier and try another one to make them slightly bigger. With medium weight yarn, the circumference of my baubles are about 7″.
I hope you love making these cute ornaments! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Hi Bethany…love your bottoms up hat crochet patterns.
Have made snowfall slouch, buffalo plaid, confetti tweed, and striped slouchy. They are so easy to gauge the size when starting from the bottom.
Thank you so much Judy! I agree, I prefer bottom up myself, much easier!
You're welcome! It's it fanatic!?
Aren't they fab? I love the new games but the old ones are so fun too!

An image of China's WZ-7 Soaring Dragon, one of the most technologically advanced drones in the PLA's arsenal, performing an elephant walk has gone viral on the internet.
The People's Republic of China's WZ-7 is a high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle and is considered the Chinese version of the US RQ-4B Global Hawk HALE-class drone.
This drone is thought to have AI-enabled networking and sensor fusion, highly encrypted jamming-resistant data links to relay battlefield information with fighting units, and ISR links with Chinese satellites.
The image, which features at least three WZ-7 Soaring Dragon UAVs, has been shared by several Twitter users. However, neither the location nor the time the photo was taken is known.
Although another drone can be spotted in the distance, little is known about it. However, the image has drawn much attention online and sparked a discussion about Elephant Walk.
China's WZ-7 Soaring Dragon UAV fleet can be conducting elephant walk- Twitter.
The term "elephant walk" first appeared during World War II, when massive fleets of bomber aircraft from allies would take off together to execute bombing raids. The sheer scale of the fleet, lined up in nose-to-tail formations, is similar to a big herd of elephants out on a walk.
An elephant walk appears to be nothing more than a bold exhibition of an air force's firepower. It displays the enormous number of cutting-edge aircraft taking part in a military drill that serves as a warning to enemies.
The formation has tactical advantages since it allows an air force to demonstrate unit competence and teamwork. It is frequently used to train squadrons for wartime operations and pilots for the bulk launch of fully armed aircraft.
Earlier this month, China's diamond-wing WZ-7 Soaring Dragon drones made headlines when it unexpectedly increased its operations over the East China Sea.
The WZ-7 was seen flying over the East China Sea on January 1, according to the Japanese Ministry of Defense (MoD). In response, the Japanese defense ministry was forced to scramble fighter jets.
Experts believe that the drone might start appearing more frequently in the area as regional tensions rise due to China's aggressive actions towards Taiwan and its general expansion in the Indo-Pacific.
China's WZ-7 Soaring Dragon
Regarding the WZ-7, its diamond-shaped wings, which are linked to forward-swept flying surfaces that end at the base of the vertical tail, are its most notable feature.
Developed by the Guizhou Aircraft Industry Corporation, the WZ-7 Soaring Dragon first appeared at the Zhuhai Air Show in 2021. The engine's air intake is on top of the fuselage, and the main engine is in the back of the aircraft.
The drone's design has undergone significant alteration since its debut in 2011 as a technology demonstrator. In late 2013, it reappeared in its updated form with canted vertical tail surfaces.
The redesign included V-tails, a new engine nozzle for the WS-13 turbofan engine, and alterations to the ventral fin and sail structure.
The WZ-7 is a jet-powered aircraft with a service ceiling of roughly 60,000 feet and an approximate range of 4,350 miles. Although its endurance is unknown, it is probably at least 10 hours, but the exact number for a typical long-endurance operation may be significantly greater.
The People's Liberation Army Air Force, or PLAAF, and the PLAN use the WZ-7. The WZ-7 has been used extensively by the PLAAF in the Tibetan region to spy across the border into India. It has also been operated from the incredibly crucial Yishuntun Airbase near the North Korean border.
WZ-7 Soaring Dragon
The capabilities of this drone are consistent with China's 'Intelligentized Warfare' idea, as previously reported by the EurAsian Times. Some analysts predict that equipment like the WZ-7 and the J-16D, a new class of electronic warfare aircraft, will be employed in tandem, with the WZ-7 sharing surveillance data with the J-16D.
The J-16D would support other aircraft on their missions with electronic warfare (EW) support, including jamming, deception, and even signals intelligence (SIGINT). It carries sizable EW pods on both of its wingtips.
