Where in my life I am looking for recognition?
For anyone who is not an actor operates as a professional or amateur, dreams mean, in which he makes an appearance, that he is concerned about his personality and his effect on others. On stage we are on display, exactly as in everyday life, we hope to reap applause and boos at times. The audience is probably friends, neighbors and colleagues of our waking-ego trying dar. One on every detail of the audience to remember a dream and should find evidence for identification. Crowds can pose problems. You kick them bravely. You know how you respond and what they have to say? Or did you mean his reaction? The actor is likely to be even, each inaccessibility of the game (if you forget his lines or the part not convincingly play) could be (a perhaps unconsciously) represent inadequacies in waking life.
If you stand facing all alone in the spotlight, all eyes in the room only one? A terrible feeling? Then you^re afraid of failure or fear perfection and always stick to not being good enough and losing face;. The show encourages you to be brave and face the responsibility. He expressed a willingness to protect others. In the negative, it stands for bluff to overestimate themselves.


Local youth will soon enjoy a newly remodeled basketball court on Croft Road near Frankford Road East and Furneaux Lane, thanks to the collaboration of the City of Carrollton, Nancy Lieberman Charities, and Covenant Church in Carrollton. The partnership has resulted in a state-of-the-art Dream Court™, a multipurpose play space built in underserved communities to provide a safe place to shoot hoops, socialize, and learn about teamwork and good sportsmanship. The court will be unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, July 23 from 6-7 p.m. at 2100 Croft Road.
Guests at the ceremony will hear from Carrollton's Mayor Pro Tem John Sutter, who will emcee the ceremony, Mayor Kevin Falconer, Police Chief Derick Miller and other members of CPD, and Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman. Covenant Church (2660 East Trinity Mills Road), serves as the Dream Court donor and will be represented by Senior Pastor Stephen Hayes.
The City's Parks & Recreation and Police Departments worked with both the charity and the church to provide this Dream Court in hopes it will foster the relationship between police officers and the communities they serve. With the addition of the Croft court in Carrollton, Lieberman Charities will have opened 62 Dream Court facilities since 2009.
Carrollton's first Dream Court at Martha Pointer Park is also slated to be upgraded to a full-size basketball court in the fall, and Lieberman Charities has partnered with the United States Tennis Association (USTA), who is looking to host free monthly tennis clinics for kids in the community.
Lieberman is not only a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, a Women's Basketball Hall of Famer, and a charity founder, but also a two-time Olympian. She made history in 2010 as the first and only woman to be named head coach of an NBA-level team, the Texas Legends, and in 2015, Lieberman became the second female assistant coach in NBA history when she was hired by the Sacramento Kings. Lieberman is now the first female head coach of a men's professional league with Ice Cube's BIG3 League.

Willis Halaholo out of Wales squad after positive Covid test
Wednesday 27 October 2021, 7:14am
Wales' preparations for their Autumn Nations Series opener against New Zealand on Saturday have been hit by centre Willis Halaholo testing positive for Covid-19.
The Cardiff player was a strong contender to start in Wales' midfield at the launch of a demanding schedule that also features Principality Stadium appointments with South Africa, Fiji and Australia.
Scarlets centre Scott Williams, who won the last of his 58 caps in 2019, has been called into the squad.
In a statement, the Welsh Rugby Union said: "Scarlets centre Scott Williams has been called into Wales' squad for the Autumn Nations Series.
"The 31-year-old Williams, who has previously won 58 caps, has been called in to the squad to replace fellow midfielder Uilisi (Willis) Halaholo, who has tested positive for Covid-19.
"Halaholo is now isolating, away from national squad camp, for 10 days. The WRU has notified, and is working closely with, Public Health Wales on the matter."
Halaholo tweeted: "Been a rough 24hours. Found out my aunty (pretty much a 2nd mum to me) passed away late last night. Then wake up this morning and test positive and be unavailable for a game that I've worked hard towards since it was announced. Gutted. Congrats @ScottWilliams--1 Good luck brothers."
New Zealand-born Halaholo qualifies for Wales on residency grounds and made his Test debut earlier this year.
Wales head coach Wayne Pivac is due to announce his starting line-up on Thursday, with the reigning Six Nations champions beginning their autumn campaign against a country they have not beaten since 1953.
It is a run of 31 successive defeats, including 16 at home, and Wales' task has not been helped by injuries, unavailability and now illness.

With the game falling outside World Rugby's autumn international window, Wales will be without England-based players like Dan Biggar, Taulupe Faletau and Louis Rees-Zammit because they are not released by their clubs.
And a number of key personnel are absent through injuries, with British and Irish Lions stars such as George North, Josh Navidi and Justin Tipuric all currently sidelined.
But centre Jonathan Davies says that Wales are "relishing the excitement of the challenge" posed by New Zealand.
"Everyone talks about the record of the last 50 or 60 years against New Zealand," Davies said.
"But it is a great way for us to start our autumn series. I think it is the excitement of the challenge. It's a tough task, but I think the boys are focused and we've had two good weeks of preparation."
For the first time since they met Six Nations opponents France in February last year, Wales will play in front a capacity 70,000-plus crowd at the Principality Stadium.
And Davies added: "It is an exciting prospect having a full Principality Stadium. It's something the boys are relishing.
"I think it is one of the reasons why we all play the game. The bus trip in from the hotel to the stadium and seeing the streets full of Welsh supporters is amazing. Their roar is one of the best in the world."

At the end of last week I received an email from Roo Green, producer on BBC Wiltshire's weekday afternoon radio show, asking if I would be interested in taking part in a summer reads recommendation segment the coming Monday. Anyone who follows my more personal posts, here or on social media, will know that the idea of such participation takes me way outside my comfort zone. I find it hard to think on my feet preferring the written word where I can carefully consider what I say before committing it to public scrutiny. Nevertheless, the opportunity to talk about excellent books that too often fly under readers' radars was too good to pass over.
Never having attempted anything like this before I was unsure what to expect. I was told that I would be asked about my blog and then invited to talk about one book I would recommend to listeners. I submitted half a dozen suggestions and Their Brilliant Careers by Ryan O'Neill, published by Lightning Books, was selected. I duly wrote out the words that I wished to say as a script and practised reading it out loud. When I arrived at the studio in Swindon I was gently told it would sound obvious that I was reading and I should simply talk to the show's host, answering his questions as in a conversation.
Back home my children were primed to record the show that I may listen to it afterwards. They also picked up this 15 second 'coming soon' announcement a half hour or so before. How strange it is to hear my name mentioned in this context.
In Swindon the segment got under way and I was asked about how I started book blogging, how I selected the books I read and my opinion on ereaders. James Thomas, the show's lovely host, was doing his best to put me at ease. I managed a shout out to small publishers: Galley Beggar, Influx and Salt Publishing.
We then moved on to the discussion of the book selected – Their Brilliant Careers by Ryan O'Neill. Sadly I did not do it justice. The inspired concept and nuances of structure and presentation did not come across in the words I managed to extract from my nervous brain. Could do better would be on my report card.
To finish I was asked to mention the books I was currently reading. John Boyne's A Ladder to the Sky was successfully recalled but I didn't include the title of Patrick Gale's new book – Take Nothing With You. I then got my blog address wrong (doh!). I truly struggle to think on my feet.
If you wish to listen to my performance it is here (lasts just under 9 minutes).
The plan is to run this segment on BBC Wiltshire every Monday afternoon throughout the summer with a different book featured each week. I have been invited back next Monday to discuss a non fiction book and have suggested Under the Rock by Benjamin Myers, published by Elliot & Thompson. I am delighted that my local radio is talking about books. Wish me luck in rising to the challenge and learning to enjoy the experience.
Have you noticed that blog tours are becoming ever more ubiquitous? Of course I get why they are a thing. While the organiser will be paid, most book bloggers review for free. By tying them into a blog tour the publisher can rely on a book being promoted across social media at a time of their choosing. Review copies sent out do not get lost amidst the ever growing piles of books to be read by reviewers. From the publisher's point of view harnessing book bloggers, who already have an audience interested in finding their next good read, makes perfect sense.
Recently however I have cut back on my commitment to tours. Much as I remain eager to work with publishers on promoting good books, I have encountered issues that have, at times, been stressful. In this post I share some of my experiences and attempt to explain my reasons for choosing to limit my involvement in blog tours, for the time being at least.
The initial contact from a publisher's designated organiser is an invitation to take part. Due to busy schedules these invitations are typically sent out many weeks in advance, often before the book is available to read even as an ARC. Decisions must be made based on a brief synopsis designed to sell the book.
If I agree to participate I will sometimes request author content for my stop on the tour. I will email my interview questions or ideas for a guest post within a few days of accepting the invitation, to allow time for responses to be put together. Very occasionally I agree to host content that I will receive blind. This has only been an issue for me when what was provided turned out not to be original, making me feel I may as well have hosted a link to wherever it first appeared – this is not what I want on my blog.
A good blog tour organiser will ensure a copy of the book is sent out well in advance – several weeks before the tour starts. As I require a hard copy, problems with print runs can delay this. So long as I am kept updated I will always do my best to accommodate. I have never yet missed my stop on a blog tour but am obviously happier when not reading under pressure.
As books also get lost in the post, more often than seems reasonable but this is a thing, I will chase if I don't receive my review copy, a situation that is frustrating for everyone involved. Were I not committed to a tour non-delivery of a promised book would be an irritation but not a concern.
As the tour date approaches I look to the organiser to email a digital copy (.jpg) of the book cover, author photo and blog tour flyer. Ideally the latter will include the hashtag they wish to use. It takes time and effort to prepare any blog post and this increases if covers and author pictures must be searched for on the web where image quality and usage can be problematic.
I generally have my blog posts prepared and scheduled at least a week in advance. Receipt of any author content is required to allow for this. If I am listed on a tour flyer and have nothing to post it reflects badly on my blog. I have had to chase for content many times but have only been entirely let down once.
I have numerous examples of reviews, interviews and guest posts on my blog and assume the organiser is happy with my format and writing style or they would not have invited me to participate. I will always post honestly – integrity matters to me. I wouldn't have accepted the book had I not expected to enjoy reading it. Nevertheless, some books disappoint and I will not pretend otherwise.
While the blog tour is running I will try to share other participant's posts. I never share a post I have not read and lose interest if there is too much repetition across the tour. How much I share also depends on the time I have available to seek out and read. For the long blog tours – some last for weeks – I will likely only manage to share a fraction of the stops.
There have been tours where my participating post, even when positive, has been ignored by author, publisher and organiser. My fellow book bloggers are always generous in sharing content but I expect some interest from those who benefit more directly.
Some have suggested that negative reviews have no place on a blog tour and bloggers should withdraw rather than post anything but praise. Late withdrawal strikes me as reneging on an agreement. Such action would also dilute the worth of the tour. Why would a reader click on multiple posts about a book that are known to have been filtered in this way?
Whilst my enthusiasm for tours has been subdued recently the main reason I have cut back on participation is the limit it places on my flexibility to choose the books I read. By filling my schedule with agreed dates I commit myself to particular titles, most of which I have not yet received at the point of commitment.
For publishers reading this post it is worth remembering that, whether or not I am taking part in a tour for a book, if I am sent a review copy I will do my best to read it in a timely manner and then share whatever publicity it receives from multiple sources. Once I have posted my own review I will share other's thoughts on the title, whatever they may be. I blog about books to make readers aware that they exist, to share the book love.
Do other bloggers enjoy taking part in blog tours? I love talking about books but, for now, desire greater freedom to read titles of my choosing, in an order that suits me. I am, after all, more likely to react positively to a book if it is the one I feel like reading at a given time.
Each author listed is necessarily given just a few pages. Although superficial this is enough to provide a flavour of why they became popular before sinking into obscurity. Interspersed with the listings are commentaries such as 'The Forgotten Books of Charles Dickens' and 'The Forgotten Booker Winners'. Although esoteric in places these make for interesting reading.
The book is written with a deft and humorous touch. It is also moving in places. The chapter on Polly Hope was a particular favourite.
It is not so much the quality of the literature produced by these forgotten authors as their passing popularity that warrants their inclusion. Tastes change over time as do readers' offence radars; authors can be sidelined when their evocative voice grates modern sensibilities.
If only this were truly the case.
Do authors such as this deserve a reprint?
There are scathing comments about readers who are described as 'intellectually inert'. As an example, the author clearly dislikes the once popular little book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull. When a teenager I found this uplifting. Perhaps my more jaded, aged eye would not agree but at the time of reading it did its job and connected.
Of course, agreeing with the author's point of view is not the point. What this book offers is a window into the vagaries of the publishing world and its readership, the changing tastes and fickle loyalties. It is packaged in a way that makes it perfect for dipping into and refering back to over time.
I welcomed the insights into the ever evolving literary world, its discoveries and appropriations, pretensions and fads. So much has changed and yet much remains the same. As a great author, who has not been forgotten, once wrote: a man is not dead while his name is still spoken. For these ninety-nine, Mr Fowler could be a lifesaver.
My copy of this book was provided gratis by the author, riverrun.
This post is a stop on The Book of Forgotten Authors Blog Tour. Do check out the other blogs taking part, detailed below.
Yesterday I travelled up to London, always a major undertaking for me, to attend a gathering of authors, publicists, bloggers and other book people, organised and hosted by Headline Publishing. It was held on the top floor of their riverside headquarters, Carmelite House, and was my second visit to the building. On this occasion the bitterly cold weather kept everyone inside enjoying the warmth and ambience rather than braving the views from the rooftop terrace.
I had taken my daughter, Robyn (@LeFailFish), as social events can make me anxious and I valued her support. Having collected our name stickers from Jenny (@jrharlow) in the foyer we made our way up to the sixth floor.
The always lovely Georgina Moore (@PublicityBooks) ensured throughout the evening that everyone felt welcome and included. She introduced us to several of the authors whose books we were able to take away.
I chatted to Alison Weir (@AlisonWeirBooks) about her fascination with the Tudors and the medieval period and now look forward to reading my proof of her latest installment in the Six Tudor Queens series, Anne Boleyn, due out in May. New insights and secrets are promised although Alison ensured that only teasers, not spoilers, were shared last night.
I had a lovely conversation with Gemma Todd (@GemTodd) before realising that this personable librarian is also the author of Defender, which I had spotted early on the book table and eagerly popped into my bag for future reading. This was a popular choice for many attendees.
Felicia Yap (@FeliciaMYap) and I discussed our love of Belfast where I was raised and now enjoy returning to as a tourist. Visit Belfast (@VisitBelfast) should totally get Felicia to write a piece for them as her enthusism for the city was infectious. Felicia's debut, Yesterday, is due out in August and I will be hoping for a proof when available.
Copies of Pendulum were also tempting readers on the book table and I had been advising everyone to pick up this taut thriller, a proof of which I read last summer. I was therefore delighted to meet the author, Adam Hamdy (@adamhamdy) and tell him how much I enjoyed his work. He was chatting to a group of bloggers about setting and how he visits each place featured in his story rather than relying on long distance research.
Meeting other bloggers is always fascinating as we all write for the love of books but often have different perspectives on what we do and how we are recieved. I was particularly pleased to meet Linda (@Lindahill50Hill), Tina (@TripFiction) and John (@Thelastword1962) all of whose reviews are worth checking out.
Thank you to the team at Headline for inviting me and for organising such a friendly, welcoming event. Also for my goody bag and the opportunity to add even more titles to my tottering TBR pile. Book people are the best.
Note: hen is my own. In discussing recognition from Twitter pictures I had told John I would bring it to the evening. Next time he wants a live one.
Why then did I choose to attend an event that would require me to walk alone into an unknown pub and introduce myself to strangers with whom I would be expected to mingle and chat for an evening? A couple of words explain all – book people. In my experience book people are lovely and the more of them I have in my life the better.
The inaugural Bath Book Bash was organised by Jennifer Vennall, a writer and final year publishing student at Bath Spa University. Aided and abetted by Sam Missingham she had offered to help grow the concept of the Book Bash outside of London. If the number of people attending last night was anything to go by, this is a popular idea.
The venue was The Bath Brew House and they had set aside an area near their entrance which was quickly filled by authors, publishers, creative writing and publishing students, their teachers, and a large number of people I didn't have time to place. After introducing myself and chatting to several of the early attendees I found myself in authors' corner where, despite feeling a bit of a fraud, the conversation proved too interesting to leave. Thank you Rachel, Lucy and Jason for your company.
As well as talking to these authors, I enjoyed conversations with several of the students and a representative of a previously unknown publishing house, Crimson, based in Bath. Another house I have worked with, Impress, were also there but my inability to hear well across a crowded table in a noisy pub prevented me engaging.
I discovered another writer I would have enjoyed chatting to as I was leaving to catch my train. Thank you for saying hi Joanne and apologies that I had to rush away.
There is obviously scope for a repeat performance. I am unsure if there were any other book bloggers but I felt welcome and a part of the community.
Jennifer is hopeful that another Book Bash will happen in Bath in January. All being well I shall do my best to attend.
Have I mentioned that I love Halloween? Its traditions appeal so much more than the trappings of a modern Christmas. For one thing it falls in autumn, that season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, when the trees turn their leaves into flaming displays before consigning them to the ground to be crunched underfoot on crisp, early morning walks. Fires may be lit and blankets wrapped around shoulders as sofas are snuggled into. Curtains are drawn early giving rooms a cosiness forgotten over summer.
Halloween does not demand that gifts be exchanged with all the pressure this brings. Friends may choose to get together but it is acceptable to eschew the social whirl. There is no requirement for an expensive, time consuming meal.
Have you guessed that I am not a party animal? I choose carefully the events I will attend and who I will spend time with. Whatever the occasion I wear clothes that are comfortable on my socially derided bulk. Christmas exacerbates my anxieties with its demands and excesses. It is glitter and false promises of joy to the world.
Had I been born back in the day, I ponder if I may have been considered a witch.
Witches were often women who would not follow the crowd. Perhaps they refused to marry, choosing to live alone rather than be dominated by a man. Perhaps they dressed differently and would not do as they were told. Some accused of being witches had simply drawn the anger of peers who believed in a hierarchy of sycophancy and aspiration. Witches lived apart and appeared content with that. Their autonomy angered many; in the time honoured tradition, conformists sowed fear of the 'other' – and witch hunts ensued. Maverick tendencies are anathema to those whose comfortable lives rely on social discipline.
The festive season, with its myriad of expectation, joviality and consumerism fills me with dread. Each year I dream of locking my doors and hibernating with just my family for company. At Halloween I am permitted to do this if I choose – me, my family and my books.

The Elizabeth Town & Country Club was an athletic and social club in Elizabeth, New Jersey that hosted a number of top amateur tennis tournaments during the last century. The club also hosted a number of social and political events for the citizens of Elizabeth and surrounding communities.

The club was founded in 1896 when land was acquired near North Broad Street in Elizabeth for a nine-hole golf course and clubhouse. Among Elizabeth Town's charter members was US Senator John Kean (New Jersey) and George C. Thomas, founder of the Thomas & Betts company. The original clubhouse was built in the Shingle Style architecture popular in the late 19th century. One of the club's first golf professionals was John Shippen, the African-American/Native American pioneer golfer.

After a fire in 1925, the clubhouse was rebuilt in American Colonial style, the results of which earned favorable reviews in the March, 1926 issue of Golf Illustrated. Shortly after though, the golf course was sold, and the main focus became tennis, squash  and swimming. Elizabeth Town was the venue for such tournaments as the Eastern intercollegiate championships, the New Jersey State Open and the Eastern Father & Son Clay Court championships. Among the players who competed were Pancho Segura, Doris Hart and Peter Fleming, best known as John McEnroe's doubles partner, but a top singles player in his own right, having reached a world ranking of No. 8.

The Elizabeth Town Club was the scene of numerous receptions for local dignitaries  such as US Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell and US Senator Harrison Williams as well as many private social affairs
and weddings
Among the members in the 1950s and 60s was New York Stock Exchange Chairman James C. Kellogg III and New York Knicks coach Eddie Donovan.
In 1980 an outside banquet company began operating the clubhouse as "The Old Mansion" while members continued to enjoy the red clay tennis courts, swimming pool and squash courts. A frequent tennis guest in the 1990s was ex-Governor Brendan Byrne who sat on the Board of the nearby Elizabethtown Water Co. (now part of New Jersey American Water Company).
In 2004, the property was sold to the City of Elizabeth Board of Education for construction of a new school, and the Elizabeth Town & Country Club came to an end.

The only trace of the club today is 'Country Club Lane', a small development of single family homes built adjacent to the club property on part of the original golf course.

I know what you are thinking, what on earth does Lorca in Murcia, Spain have in connection with St Patrick's Day in Ireland?
Since 1452, the city of Lorca has been closely bound to St. Patrick's Day. On the 17th of March of that year, an historic battle took place: the Battle of Alporchones where Christian troops fought the Moors, as was repeated throughout Andalucia and in this instance the Christians were the victors. This historical event was remembered by the townspeople due to the date of the battle, when some years later, the name of St Patrick, the Patron Sant of Ireland was chosen for the the building of what was intended to be Lorca Cathedral.
Now, alongside both Dublin and New York Cathedrals, St. Patrick's Collegiate in Lorca is the third of the major churches dedicated to St Patrick. Traditionally in Lorca, the Irish flag together with the Spanish flag is raised on the 17th of March in one of the major town squares. The day is spent in a physical and mental whirl of Irish and Spanish traditions combined! The raising of the Irish and Spanish flags coincides with the celebration of the local police service whose Patron Saint is St. Patrick. Both National Anthems are played by the Local Brass Band and the festivities continue with Guinness and all wonderful Irish influences - you will certainly never forget it!
Transport from where you are, breakfast, full lunch, British guide (with fluent Spanish) and all refreshments with wine and beer, all inclusive.
From €78 (euros) per person. Pick-up points from Alfaix HPB, Sorbas, Los Gallardos, Mojacar, Turre, Vera, or FROM WHERE YOU ARE from around 9.00 in the morning and return at around 18.00.
The collegiate of San Patricio, badly damaged in the earthquake of 2011 has undergone substantial renovation - could be open for the St Patrick's Day celebrations, but no guarantees.


16th June was the day when I stepped out of the comforts of my home for the first time, ready to explore the opportunities that ISB&M had to offer me. Yes this very place is going to be my second home-the other square for the next two years where I'll make a lot of memories so that I can cherish them in years to come.
Life@ ISB&M has been busy, thrilling and filled with fun activities. It all started with the induction ceremony with hundreds of unknown faces trying to find some familiarity based on language, culture or educational backgrounds. Little did we realize that over the next few days these unfamiliar faces will be no longer be unfamiliar and this batch will forever be a part of this magnanimous ISB&M family.
Time is short and fleeting. I mourned the quick passage of time when I realised that I had already completed 45 days of college life at ISB&M. My days in this college are numbered. I have lots to achieve and prove myself eligible to the corporate world.
Amidst the busy schedule came the first break in the form of FORZA, the foundation day celebration of the institute. My first brush with popularity was paved by the photography competition organised by FORZA and I will remain forever grateful to the institute for honouring me with the first prize.
My second achievement was when I clinched the Runners Up position in the case study competition organized by RentOne amidst 600 teams from top institutions of the country. I will be forever thankful to the institute for providing me such opportunities. The best thing about ISB&M is that the institute allows you to pursue your passion and follow your heart. My faculties have been always accessible and forever helpful. This back to back success has boosted my morale and has motivated me to perform even better so that I can bring more laurels both for myself as well the institute.

One scientist is not backing down on his belief that the 'Oumuamua, a mysterious object that came from beyond the solar system, is an alien spaceship — or at least a piece of alien tech.
Avi Loeb, the chairman of Harvard University's astronomy department, caused a stir last year when he and his colleague Shmuel Bialy wrote a paper claiming that the interstellar object spotted by astronomers in Hawaii back in 2017, dubbed 'Oumuamua, which is Hawaiian for "scout," is a piece of extraterrestrial spacecraft technology.
"['Oumuamua] is a lightsail, floating in interstellar space as a debris from an advanced technological equipment," he and Bialy wrote in a November paper that has been accepted for publishing in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Since releasing his shocking paper, Loeb has been criticized by other scientists, with Ohio State University astrophysicist Paul M. Sutter even calling their alien spacecraft claim insulting.
North Carolina State University astrophysicist Katie Mack, meanwhile, told the Verge that Loeb may have just proposed a theory that he didn't believe in just for the sake of putting it out into the world.
However, Loeb, who has been an Ivy League professor for 30 years and has published hundreds of astronomical papers, is still convinced that the 'Oumuamua may be artificially made and not just a space rock.
He recently told the Washington Post that 'Oumuamua is moving too fast for it to be an inert rock and that according to his calculations, it may be flying past the orbit of Jupiter right now. He explained that the object resembles a "kilometer-long obloid pancake" because it is very long but no more than 100 meters thick. 'Oumuamua is also so light that sunlight is pushing the object out of the solar system.
"Many people expected once there would be this publicity, I would back down," Loeb told the Post. "If someone shows me evidence to the contrary, I will immediately back down."
"It changes your perception on reality, just knowing that we're not alone," he continued. "We are fighting on borders, on resources. ... It would make us feel part of planet Earth as a civilization rather than individual countries voting on Brexit."

Harvest House Offers Tribute to Tim LaHaye
Christian ad agency christian PR firm Dr Tim LaHaye ECPA news Harvest House Publishers left behind series rush to press Tim LaHaye author
Contact: Christianne Debysingh, Harvest House Publishers
Email: cdebysingh@harvesthousepublishers.com
Web: www.harvesthousepublishers.com
Dr. Tim LaHaye stood out as a remarkable and beloved author and friend to us at Harvest House Publishers. There were many qualities we came to appreciate about Tim as we partnered with him in ministry, with two of the most endearing being his great passion for making God's Word as accessible as possible for all people, and his love for sharing the gospel with unbelievers.
Harvest House's ties to Tim and his wife, Beverly, go back to the company's earliest years. They were among the first authors acquired by Bob Hawkins Sr., who founded Harvest House in 1974. Tim's first—and most widely published—book with Harvest House released in 1976, the bestseller How to Study the Bible for Yourself. It still remains in print today, and has been translated into 10 different languages. Beverly came out with her first Harvest House book in 1976 as well, The Spirit-Controlled Woman, which sold nearly 1,000,000 copies.
In both his teaching and writing, Tim took great joy in making God's truth clear and practical. He had a gift for taking complex topics and making them easy to understand. So it's no surprise that many of his books have enjoyed a long shelf life, including some that have remained in print 20, 30, and even 40 years.
Tim's heartfelt concern for those who don't know Christ as their Savior was clearly communicated in all his books. And frequently we had the privilege of seeing this love in action as he graciously initiated conversations with non-Christians in various settings. With compassion he would speak the truth in love, setting an example fellow believers could learn from. He spoke of Christ with a contagious enthusiasm, gaining the genuine interest of those who might otherwise be dismissive toward the gospel.
For the past 25-plus years, Tim's energies had been devoted largely toward the subject of Bible prophecy. In 1992 he cofounded the Pre-Trib Study Group with Dr. Thomas Ice for the purpose of encouraging the research and teaching of biblical perspectives on Bible prophecy. Under Tim's guidance, the group produced numerous resources that have had a far-reaching impact on helping to bring clarity to an area of Bible study that many have found complex or confusing.
While Tim is most known for his amazingly successful Left Behind novels published by Tyndale House Publishers, he also wrote 15 nonfiction books on Bible prophecy for Harvest House. One of his most popular is Charting the End Times, a book coauthored with Thomas Ice, which has sold 200,000+ copies.
Bob Hawkins Jr., president of Harvest House, states that "50 years ago…my father, Bob Hawkins Sr. had the privilege of acquiring Tim's first book, Spirit-Controlled Temperament, while working at Tyndale House Publishers. That book launched Tim into a career of writing bestselling books that have sold nearly 100 million copies combined. His outreach and impact for Christ will be felt for generations. And it was his constant and intense love for the soon coming of Jesus, communicated in so many ways, that he'll be recognized and remembered for the most. We will all greatly miss this committed man of faith, who is now resting in the arms of Jesus."
In all that he did, Tim exemplified what it means to "press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me" (Philippians 3:12). He lived very much with eternity in mind, and has inspired countless others to do likewise.

The slot may not contain a huge amount of amazing graphics or innovative features. But neither did Tetris. And playing that little beauty cost me a whole load of time a few years ago.
So what's it all about? As you may have guessed, the slot has a feline theme. Transparent cartoon cats fill up the reels and are set against a city street landscape. The video slots has five reels and 25 pay lines. These cats are special. They can copy each other to deliver big wins!
As you would expect from any NetEnt slots, there are some great features on offer. The star of the show is the Copy Cats feature. The feature kicks in when you get stacked cat symbols on reel one. This causes all cats on the other reels to change to the same cat as the symbol that triggered the feature.
Other features include a Free Spins that can deliver up to 20 free spins.
Copy Cats slots offers some very decent prizes with a maximum win of up to 200 times your stake. But most importantly, this slot is great fun!
If you fancy trying out Copy Cats slots then you can choose from a range of great free spins bonus offers.
However, our favourite is the bonus available at Mr Green Casino.
Play 50 rounds on Copy Cats at Mr Green and you get 10 free spins. As simple as that.

Before I am going all Christmas crazy, I want to share a little thought with you. Christmas should be a loving and memorable time. So why not think Christmas gifts that last.. just like memories. I was sitting in my little corner, which unfortunately I very rarely do, but I wanted to "break-in" the little side table called STAY from Montana, and I thought to myself… This piece is a lasting piece to which memories are attached. Like when I had Stay in my bedroom a year ago packed with all the books I read before I go to sleep. Good old classic furniture, that last, you can restyle it – you can move it from room to room and from person to person in your household.
Imagine the amount of money we spend during Christmas. A lot. And Danes even spent almost 18% more last year celebrating the Holiday than the year before.
So what I try to argue is that spend the money on lasting gifts like my STAY or other nice interiors, trips and the good life in general.
Take a step back and think: Lasting memories, lasting interior design.
I know Thanksgiving need to be celebrated first this week, before Christmas is taking over, but here in Denmark, Thanksgiving is not a thing. So excuse me for starting Christmas tomorrow.
This post is in partnership with Montana. Thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. Thanks for supporting collaborations that I am excited about and that have kept Bungalow5's doors open.
Very inspiring and timely post. I've just done the same with a few pieces of my furniture and it makes all the difference! Also, inspired by those cosy house slippers/boots beside your Montana bedside table.


Join us at The Winchester Club, Eden Terrace on Saturday May 19th for a celebration of family music in NZ Music Month.
It's a truly all-ages New Zealand music bonanza, with three of the country's most dynamic family acts under one roof for an epic show.
Flying in from Takaka is three-time APRA NZ children's song of the year winner and 2018 Tui Children's Musician of the Year, Levity Beet. Levity is well known for dynamic and humorous performances, and wows audiences with new musical inventions, playing instruments he makes from heaters, air bed pumps, tyre valves and anything imaginable.
Mr. Beet has produced 6 albums and a cd/songbook, and produces music for 'Darwin and Newts', which you can view on TV2 and Hei Hei TV. Levity also teaches kids the ukulele, guitar, songwriting and mentors young bands.
Mr Roberelli is actually two people: Rob Wigley and Paul Depledge, whose interactive and humorous live show gets children (and parents) bouncing, listening quietly for details, singing "really high", tiptoeing past the bull, moving like macho ballerinas, and much more. If you're lucky enough to catch a live performance, you'll be seeking out one – or all – of their eight albums.
From the ashes of a non-illustrious 25-year Rock n' Roll career comes the unwashed, semi toothed and slightly uncouth Piratical 'cheese' Captain Festus McBoyle. With cheeky humour and the sharpened hooks of his songs, The Captain is joined on stage by Miss Lucy Drawers and Ebeneza Strong. Together, they are more fun than a squirrel up ya jumper!
Regularly compared to Monty Python and Spike Milligan, this much-loved Vaudeville Musical Comedy Troupe transcend age and culture with ease, and their almost 'Punk Rock' ethos will whisk you away on a first-class voyage to sample their weird and wonderful world.
The Ultimate Rotten Entertainers… an act not to be missed!
*Update* The song 'The Little Things' by Captain Festus McBoyle and his Travellin' Variety Show has made it into the finals of the International Songwriting Competition in the Children's Music category.
Plus their brand new album Bubbles and Squeek comes out on April 26th so you can grab it at the show. Here's a sneak peek at the cover.
Can you spot the spelling mistake?
Yes that's it - 'Captain' has been spelled as 'Captian'.
Cover artist Elliot Stewart is dyslexic, so instead of asking him to correct the spelling, Festus McBoyle and his crew thought it was perfect just the way it was. Because after all, who is perfect anyway? The Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand have given them the nod - it's a nice way of raising awareness of the condition.
Hosted by Lee, the 95bFM Kids' Show has been running since forever ago. Lee has been involved with bFM on and off since 1995 and has two kids of his own to try out his bad jokes and other fatherly material on before he subjects the audience to it.
As a very extra special bonus, some other members of The Kiwi Kids Music Collective will be onsite for meet/greet and signing opportunities.
Acts in the Kiwi Kids Music Collective include Kahuna Kidsongs, Bumbleberry Lane, Jay Laga'aia, Julie Wylie, Zoo Boogie, Petite Music Box, Itty Bitty Beats, Toot, fleaBITE, Levity Beet, Mr Roberelli, The Moe Show, Captain Festus McBoyle, kindyRock, Kidsinglish, Kath Bee, Mr Yipadee, The Funky Monkeys, Love To Sing, Fatcat and Fishface, Anna Van Riel, Rainbow Rosalind, Mac's Patch, Bryan and Bobby, Chris Sanders, Raymond McGrath.
There will be hot food and a full bar available, and merchandise (cash sales only for merch).
Ethel will be painting faces at $5 per face.
Tickets are now available through Under the Radar - $15 pre-sales and $20 on the door.
Prev: Mardi Gras - Ohakune and Queenstown!


Seth Putnam learns why they say a mile in Linvile is like 3 miles anywhere else.
Fist-sized knots had formed in my quads, turning each step into a potential fall, but there was nothing to do except keep moving up the mountain. No amount of stretching would banish the cramps. And it only got worse when I stood still.
Our Spring '15 Stumptown Lookbook from the lens of photographer Tally Gunstone.
To me, the most fun part about a road trip is seeing where the road takes you and not having concrete plans. We drove up back roads, not knowing where they led, and found a secluded spot to set up camp and enjoy James' infamous cheesy sausage campfire concoction. Along the drive home, we took a right instead of a left and ended up at a beautiful waterfall. No matter which direction you are heading, Oregon will always surprise you and it was so fun to do just that with four great friends.
Our Spring '15 Stumptown Lookbook from the lens of photographer James Crowe.
As far as good times on the shoot, I would say the best time was when we finished up day two and made dinner over the fire. It was the first time on the shoot we just got to chill out and hang with each other.
Our Spring '15 Stumptown Lookbook from the lens of photographer Kyle Hannon.
My favorite part of shooting the lookbook was traveling to White River Falls. The falls are massive and hiking down and getting to shoot in the abandon mill was so cool. I have always loved shooting in abandon buildings and nature so being able to do both in the same location was amazing.

Q: git log alias fails , but running the full command explicitly succeeds I have seen a couple other related questions and tried to avoid the pitfalls:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/51886432/959179
https://stackoverflow.com/a/68079866/959179
but these did not manage to fix the issue.
so in ~/.gitconfig I have :
[alias]
    lf1= !git log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --format=format:'%x09%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold cyan)%ai%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset) - %C(dim magenta)%an%C(reset) - %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)'

this is a one-liner git log printout.
when I use it on its own as git lf1 it works correctly printing the git log as one-liners.
but when I try to track down info for a specific file it no longer works:
$ git lf1 7bddc5ead9 conf/distro/aos.conf
fatal: ambiguous argument 'conf/distro/aos.conf': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

if I add a separator "--" as suggested I will get a wrong printout - not the changes in the file up to and including version with the given commit ID.
I found this https://stackoverflow.com/a/39468026/959179 to help me debug the alias and the result is the same:
$ git debug lf1 7bddc5ead9 conf/distro/aos.conf
00:37:57.610634 git.c:703               trace: exec: git-lf1 7bddc5ead9 conf/distro/aos.conf
00:37:57.610680 run-command.c:663       trace: run_command: git-lf1 7bddc5ead9 conf/distro/aos.conf
00:37:57.610964 run-command.c:663       trace: run_command: 'git log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --format=format:'\''%x09%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold cyan)%ai%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset) - %C(dim magenta)%an%C(reset) - %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)'\''' 7bddc5ead9 conf/distro/aos.conf
00:37:57.612841 git.c:439               trace: built-in: git log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate '--format=format:%x09%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold cyan)%ai%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset) - %C(dim magenta)%an%C(reset) - %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)' 7bddc5ead9 conf/distro/aos.conf
fatal: ambiguous argument 'conf/distro/aos.conf': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

but then if I copy the last trace line (i.e. "00:37:57.612841 git.c:439               trace: built-in:" ,  the one just above "fatal: ambiguous argument ...") and paste and run it in CLI, I will get the expected printout.
what am I missing here and the alias fails when in CLI it works ?

The Standard & Poor/Case-Shiller home-price index released on Tuesday showed a glimmer of hope for the Seattle area housing market. The Seattle metropolitan home market saw a slight increase in the month of April. The index tracks data in 20 large U.S. cities, and Seattle's data showed higher prices than data compiled for February and March. However, experts say this doesn't mean much for the Seattle housing market. Seattle's prices are still down 6.9% from last year, and the index as a whole showed a slight fall in prices.
How do Seattle's families compare to those in other U.S. Cities? To put it simply, they're smaller. New census data shows that Seattle has the smallest-size families among 50 big U.S. cities. Moreover, we have the third highest amount of single living and the third-highest rate of "unrelated people living together", according to a Seattle Times article. Because of the considerably weak housing market and flourishing rental market, families are purchasing homes out of King County, yet a high degree of solo Seattlites stay. Read more about the latest census data by checking out the full article.

Rizwan,Dahani & Sohaib emerge as star players as Sultans take their maiden PSL title
The Sultans triumphed over Zalmi by 48 runs to win their first PSL title.
By Faisal Saeed June 25, 2021
Multan Sultans who were least expected to win the PSL6 tournament this year, thrashed all opinions as they claimed their maiden PSL title.
Winning the final was not the only highlight for Sultans, as three of their amazing players secured big individual titles as well. Mohammad Rizwan, Shahnawaz Dahani and Sohaib Maqsood emerged as star players of the entire tournament, among others.
The 29-year-old Rizwan after claiming three victims behind the wickets during the final match took his total tally of PSL 6 dismissals behind the wickets to 20. Rizwan's dismissals included; 18 catches and 2 stumpings from 12 matches. These figures now make him the first ever Pakistani wicket keeper to have 20 dismissals behind the wickets in a single edition of any tournament.
Shahnawaz Dahani was named Best Emerging Player and Best Bowler of the tournament for his outstanding achievements during PSL 6. He managed to take 20 wickets during the PSL 2021, becoming the third bowler to take as many wickets in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Sohaib Maqsood bagged player of the final, best batsman and player of the tournament awards for his performance in PSL6. He accumulated a total of 428 runs, including five fifties, at an average of 47.55 and strike-rate of 156.77.
Moreover, the batsmen remained unbeaten on 65 runs, off 35 balls, in the final and played a key role in leading Sultans to a match-winning target of 207 runs.
Sohaib Maqsood and Rilee Rossouw from Multan Sultans accumulated a massive 98-run partnership and lead Sultans to 206-4 after their team was asked to bat first by Zalmi. The duo managed to take the team over 180 runs, after which Rossouw was dismissed in the 18th over.
The openers, Rizwan and Shan Masood, who struggled at the start of the game managed to hit some boundaries after they developed a flow from the start of fourth over. Both players remained on the ground for 8 complete overs. After that Masood and Rizwan were dismissed by Mohammad Imran in the 9th and 11th over, respectively. Masood departed after making 37 while Rizwan was removed for 30.
Chasing a massive 207 total proved difficult for Peshawar Zalmi when they lost their key batsman Hazratullah Zazai in the sixth over. Kamran Akmal who gave Zalmi a blistering start and scored 36 runs in the first five overs, however, he was dismissed later by Imran Khan.
Shoaib Malik and Jonathan Wells tried to build a partnership but the Australian batsman was run out for 6, courtesy of quick work in the field by Rossouw. Shoaib Malik accelerated his batting attack in Imran Tahir's over, accumulating 21 runs after hitting several boundaries.
Taking inspiration from Malik, Rovman Powell sprinted to 23 runs before Muzarabani dismissed the West Indian, bringing an end to the 66-run stand.
Malik was later caught in the team by Imran Tahir for 48. The rest of the team was dismissed quite easily by the Sultan's who restricted Zalmis at 159-9.

Record-breaking Rodin sculpture tops Sotheby's $144.5 million art sale
A sculpture by August Rodin has achieved a new world-record price at Sotheby's, as part of a $144.5 million sale of Impressionist & Modern Art in New York.
Conceived in 1884, L'Éternel Printemps was carved from a single block of marble in 1901-3 and ranks amongst Rodin's most celebrated depictions of the two embracing lovers.
Offered with an estimate of $8-$12 million, the sculpture sold for $20,410,000, setting a new world record for a work by the French sculptor.
"Tonight we saw a discerning and efficient market at work," said Simon Shaw, Co-Head, Worldwide, Sotheby's Impressionist & Modern Art Department. "Connoisseurs were drawn to works that displayed a key combination of unrivaled quality, great rarity and exceptional provenance.
"Such was the case with Auguste Rodin's romantic marble sculpture L'Éternel Printemps, which inspired competitive and international bidding that drove the work to achieve $20.4 million – marking a new auction record for the artist. Tonight was the first time a marble of this subject has come to auction in over two decades, demonstrating the type of rarity that is a main driver of success in today's market."
Leading the paintings on offer was Maurice de Vlaminck's Fauvist masterpiece Sous-bois, a landscape depicting a scene near Chatou, along the Seine in Paris. Offered from the collection of philanthropist Sarah Campbell Blaffer after more than 60 years, the painting sold for $16.4 million.
There were strong results for Paul Signac's Pointillist view of Saint-Tropez, Maisons du port, Saint-Tropez, which sold for $10.7 million; Claude Monet's early Impressionist work Camille à l'ombrelle verte, which sold for $9.4 million; and Charles Manguin's 1906 painting Les Oliviers à Cavalière, which set a new auction record for the artist when it sold for $1.2 million.
The sale also offered six works from the collection of New York philanthropists Mamdouha & Elmer Holmes Bobst, assembled during the 1960s and untouched for more than half a century. The collection, which achieved a total of $20.6 million, was led by Monet's Marée bassee aux Petites-Dalles, which doubled its high estimate to sell for $9.9 million.

Q: Make character fall or jump off of platform and to the same y coordinate they started in? I am in the process of making a simple game by learning Pygame. Below I have a demo of my code:

I put a hitbox around both the platform and the character because I am using images, but in my example here I simplified it just so I can get assistance with the problem. I need to be able to have the character jump onto the platform. If they are directly above the platform, they need to be able to jump and land back down on it. If they walk or jump off of the side of the platform, they need to fall to the y coordinate they jumped from.

import pygame
pygame.init()

win = pygame.display.set_mode((1200, 600))

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

class Player(object):
    def __init__(self, x, y, width, height):

            george.is_jumping = False
            george.jump_count = 10

    redraw_game_window()

pygame.quit()

I was able to work out how to get the character to land on the platform and feel like I am getting close to having them fall or jump off, but they don't fall all the way down and cannot get back onto the platform either.

A: simple, just read the following code (comments provided)

# set the following variables
# the jump height is, you know the jump height
JUMP_HEIGHT = 20
# gravity, affects jump height and speed of downfall
GRAVITY = 1
# the number subtracted every frame, equal to jump height as of now
Y_VELOCITY = JUMP_HEIGHT
# the trigger for jump, initially false
isJump = False

# set the isJump variable to True when jump key is pressed, nothing else
# add this function to mainloop, just call this before blitting stuff
def jump():
    # if jump is triggered, do this
    if isJump:
        # subtract the y_velocity from player y every frame
        player_y -= Y_VELOCITY
        # also make the gravity affect yvelocity for realistic effect and free fall (in negative)
        Y_VELOCITY -= GRAVITY
        # if player reached the initial spot, do this
        if Y_VELOCITY <= -JUMP_HEIGHT - GRAVITY:
            # cancel the trigger
            isJump = False
            # reset the variables
            Y_VELOCITY = JUMP_HEIGHT

if the above code does not work as expected,
# replace this line
if Y_VELOCITY <= -JUMP_HEIGHT - GRAVITY:
# with this
if Y_VELOCITY < -JUMP_HEIGHT - GRAVITY:

i am not good at explaning stuff

Q: Has Vitamix fixed the problem?
A: Through rigorous testing, Vitamix engineers have designed a new blade for our "64-ounce Low-Profile" container that meets our quality and durability standards.

A: The Vitamix 7500™, Professional Series™ 750®, and Professional Series™ 300® were sold in the U.S. and Canada directly through Vitamix and through a variety of retailers.
Q: How can I determine if my product has been recalled?
A: You can quickly determine if your product has been affected by looking at the blade in your "64-ounce Low-Profile" container. The part number and manufacture date are etched on the top of the blade, under the logo.

A: Once we receive your old container, we will replace the blades with the improved blades approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and ship it back to you at no charge within 5 to 7 business days of receiving it.
Q: How can I know that my blade was replaced when I receive my container back from Vitamix?
A: The part number etched on the top of the new blade, under the logo, will be 104602 A, and the manufacture date will be August 2013 (shown as 08-13) or after.
Q: What will happen if I choose not to have my container repaired?
A: If you have the Vitamix 7500™, Professional Series™ 750®, or Professional Series™ 300® with a "64-ounce Low-Profile" container that has a blade etched with the serial number 103208 A, then your blade is affected and needs to be replaced. You should not use your "64-ounce Low-Profile" container until the blade has been replaced. Please contact us to have your container repaired.
Q: How long do I have to participate in the recall?
A: We urge you to have the blade replaced in your "64-ounce Low-Profile" container as soon as possible so that you can continue to use it. However, Vitamix will repair the blade at any point during the life of the container.
Q: Can I return my blender to the store where I purchased it?
A: Depending on your retailer's return policy and how long it has been since you purchased the machine, you may be able to return it to the store where it was purchased. However, we encourage you to return the container directly to Vitamix for repair via the established recall process and to receive your extended warranty on the entire unit for an additional year above our standard 7-year warranty.
Q: Are recalled products still on the shelves at the above retail locations?
A: No, the affected products were pulled from store shelves and have been replaced with products that include the improved blade design.
Q: Why are affected blender models currently available on vitamix.com?
A: All "64-ounce Low-Profile" containers available on vitamix.com since August 2013 include the improved design and are not affected by the recall.

England vs India 4th Test Preview: Virat Kohli and co eye series equaliser in Southampton
By : Subhayan Chakraborty | Updated on: 30 Aug 2018, 01:12:08 PM
A series that started as a close contest between two top Test nations have oscillated so much that before the start of the fourth Test between hosts England and visitors India, both teams look jittery. Three Tests of contrasting styles and results later, England have a slender 2-1 lead that is now reliant on the spin of the coin and the swing in the air.
After a tight loss at Edgbaston and a hammering at Lord's, India were given a next to nothing chance of bouncing back. However, this Virat Kohli-led side has made a mockery of expectations in the past and with their ability to rise from the dead, have put the Phoenix to shame!
ALSO READ: Cristiano Ronaldo wins UEFA Goal of the Season for overhead kick
It was, of course, the tons of runs from Kohli's blade (440 runs, Avg. 73.33) making up for the lost time in 2014, that's driving them. Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara have exhibited sparks of form in the third Test and may have done so at the right time.
England had their share of problems even in their victories, and only an inconsistent India camouflaged those gaping worries. Alastair Cook is in desperate search of a bat that can give him some runs and evade the edge off Ishant Sharma's bowling, while skipper Joe Root seems to have been sorted out by the Indian pacers.
Rahane has happy memories of the ground, having stroked twin 50s in the 2014 Test. Whereas, Ishant Sharma needs to snare Cook once more to join Morne Morkel on 12 dismissals of the English opener. Indian skipper Virat Kohli is just six runs short of completing 6,000 Test runs.
ALSO READ: ICC World Cup 2019: Last chance to grab your tickets; Know how
Runs from Jonny Bairstow (206 runs, Avg. 41.20) and Chris Woakes (149 runs, Avg. 74.50) have been a welcome change, but there is a sense of desperation to find the key to their batting woes. Had it not been for James Anderson's skill with the ball (17 wickets), the series score could easily have been reversed!
The last time these sides met at the Rose Bowl, Southampton was in 2014 – their only meeting in Southampton – when an under-fire Cook and a steaming Anderson propelled England to a 266-run victory.
Players to watch: Whichever way you see it, this could be a massive Test for Cook. What he does over the next five days could determine his future and it was exactly under the same circumstances that he scored 95 and 70* in 2014. While, after proclaiming that he wants to be Hardik Pandya and not the next Kapil Dev, the Indian all-rounder has the onus to perform.
Stat attack: Only once on English soil have India managed to win back-to-back Tests, in 1986.
India Predicted Playing XI: Virat Kohli (C), Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Lokesh Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, and Jasprit Bumrah
England Predicted Playing XI: Cook, Jennings, Root (c), Bairstow, Stokes, Buttler (w), Moeen Ali, Curran, Rashid, Broad, Anderson

China's Banking Sector Will Further Accelerate High Level Opening: Central Bank Media
The official news publication of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) has flagged further opening up of the banking sector as part of broader national policy to expand China's global economic influence.
"Standing at the starting point of a new period of history, there is no doubt that China will continue to open both arms and embrace the world, and continue to accelerate the high-level external opening of the banking sector in a new era," said Zhao Miao (赵萌) in an article published by PBOC's Financial News.
"Over the past 20 years, the banking sector has closely followed the wave of economic globalisation, continually expanded abroad, continued to raise its international competitiveness, and gradually embarked upon a uniquely distinctive path of internationalisation," wrote Zhao in the article entitled "Chinese Banking Sector Accelerates Drive for High-level External Opening" (中国银行业加速推进高水平对外开放).
"In particular, by supporting cross-border trade and the cross-border financial needs of Chinese enterprises expanding abroad, and by supporting the development of the Belt and Road initiative and the economic development of host countries, the internationalised operation of the Chinese banking sector has obtained outstanding results."
Data from the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) indicates that as of the end of 2019 23 Chinese banks had established 276 first-tier institutions in 71 countries and regions around the world.
ICBC, China and the world's largest bank in terms of assets, opened its branch bank in Panama in the first half of 2021, expanding its overseas network to 49 countries and regions, including 125 branches in 21 Belt and Road nations.

Gary Hamel, Management Expert and Entrepreneur stated "you can't build an adaptable organization without adaptable people-and individuals change when they have to, or when they want to." The ability to adapt to change initiatives is pivotal to the success or failure. The change management process (CMP) has been tried and tested by consultants, entrepreneurs, and academics. Each step of the process plays a significant role that contributes to the outcomes. This article focuses on what, how, and why aspects associated with step – 4 – enlisting a volunteer army.
What does it mean to enlist a volunteer army? A volunteer army is a group of identified peers across a variety of levels in the organization . This group want to be a part of the initiatives to get others within the organization to not only see the value, but acts upon the urgency. As identified in step-2 – build a guiding coalition. The objective is to put together a team of admired and respected peers that can help to craft, evaluate, and communicate change initiatives. Step 3 – building the vision and efforts take that further in crafting the specific initiatives and big picture change vision. Step 4 aids in bringing this altogether by having a team of people that can connect the value and urgency to get started. The "volunteer" side of this step is simply other professionals within the organization that want to be a part of carrying out the vision and initiatives.
How can a volunteer army be created? According to Dr. John Kotter, Harvard Business School Professor and Entrepreneur, this is done by raising a large group of people that are "ready and willing" to drive the urgent change. These are people that see the value, vision, and reasoning behind the logic for the proposed change. They want to make that change a reality. They have the knowledge, experience, and social networking abilities to lead the internal forces within the organization. The actual people that are a part of this "enlisted army" for change can and will vary. Typically the diverse team includes personnel from the top, mid, and entry level positions. The key is to have a diverse pool of talent that share the vision, drive, and accountability to train, implement, and monitor strategic initiatives that support the change outcomes. The team believes in the vision, initiatives, and aids leading by example.
even deeper by building a large team that believes, implements, and monitors to the change initiatives. A volunteer army helps to stabilize the new change initiatives. Furthermore, the volunteer army leads by example, mentors and helps to share the buy-in of the change initiatives. The volunteer army aids in decreasing resistance toward change. This action ties in with the process of unfreezing, implementing, and refreezing the desired effects which is one of the fundamental processes of change that was proposed by Dr. Kurt Lewin. Leading by example aids in minimizing the resistance; which would increase acceptance and follow through of initiatives to reach the desired state. The less resistance, the greater opportunity for change initiatives to manifest and last.
In conclusion, step 4 – enlisting an army of volunteers matters. This action helps management to form a large group of individuals across many levels and departments to come together to implement, monitor, and maintain change initiatives. This group can also aid in creating a positive acceptance of the change initiatives and lead by example. Such behavior helps to foster a more positive attitude toward the efforts. The more positive the environment is toward the change, the less resistance. When there is less resistance, there is a greater opportunity to unfreeze, implement, and refreeze the desired change initiatives to become the standard way of doing things. Furthermore, it helps to promote the next step of the CMP, step 5 – remove barriers and enable action.
Thanks so much for reviewing and stay tuned for more information in regards to the best practices to remove barriers and enable action.
