When Suma of 'Cakes and More' asked me to do a guest post, I readily agreed. This is a special post for me, as it is my first guest post.I am sure most of you know her but still, I would like to say that if you have not seen her blog, please check it right away,you would be amazed with the collection of recipes, especially the bakes-cakes and breads which aptly suits her blog name.I always wonder, how one can be so passionate about baking even the regular breads on a daily basis. I admit that even though I love to bake breads, my laziness wins over me every time and hence my baking is limited to only once or twice in a week.I like her blog for one more reason-her detailed posts. You would get all your questions answered while you go through her recipes.
When I asked her preference for the guest post, she mentioned that a Rice or Snack variety would be nice. After running through a couple of ideas, I decided to firm up on Aloo chana chaat. Now hop on to her blog here, to see the complete recipe.
Before you leave I would like you to taste a spoonful of my Aloo Chana Chaat and while munching hop on to her blog to know how I made it.
Can I have a plate sent my way? After all the festival food, I want something chatpata and yummy, this fits the bill perfectly! Well done Prathibha.
Great post just hopped from Suma's to tell you that.
I really liked your recipe..looks so good. Colorful and delicious. Cant wait to start preparing it..Lovely one.
I want one plate as well! Who can resist this tangy chaat!
U r tempting us too much. .... Ur poor blog readers. We r all salivating. pls pass on that plate dear. Yummm.
Just had the chaat from the local Indian fast food place 2 days ago. Looks amazing. I love the wanna bite photo, would not mind having the whole bowl, bite is too little for me.
Looks so tempting!! Oh how I adore chaat!
Ohh the good old days.. the colourful fates and Melas..
very colourful and lovely post !

Look backwards, look around, look forward.
This township has a frontage to the Mersey of nearly a mile and a half in length and extends landward about two miles. The area is 1,207 acres. The land rises from the river eastward, until near Walton an elevation of 150 ft. is reached. The population in 1901 was 58,556. There is scarcely a square yard of ground left that is not covered with crowded streets, railways, timber-yards, canal wharfs, and, last but not least, extensive docks and quays. A forest of masts and funnels takes the place of green trees, and solid stone walls reflect themselves in the River Mersey instead of grassy slopes. Huge warehouses rise up on every side. The hum of machinery mingles with the cries of flocks of seagulls and the rush of passing and repassing vessels of all descriptions. The North Wall lighthouse and the battery are conspicuous objects along the river wall.
Bootle was previously known as; Botle, 1212, 1237; Botull, 1306; Bothull, 1332; Bothell, 1348. The town was traversed by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway from Liverpool to Southport and from the docks to Aintree, with two stations, Bootle and Marsh Lane; by the London and North Western Company's line from the docks to Edge hill, with stations at Balliol Road and Alexandra Dock; and by the Midland Company's line to the docks. The Liverpool Overhead Railway, which opened in 1893, ran along the dock road, with its terminus at Seaforth. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal also pass through the Bootle.
In 1768 the village of Bootle was situated almost in the centre of the combined township, where Litherland Road now meets Merton Road. On the south side was a large open space; to the north was the famous spring, later marked by a pumping station. There was also a windmill as well as a watermill, to the north-east of St. Mary's Church. From the village various roads spread out. One, now Merton Road, led to the shore just to the north of one of the Bootle landmarks, where there where curiously-shaped signal posts for the guidance of ships entering the Mersey. Clayfield Lane, now Breeze Hill, led to Walton church and village. Field Lane, now Hawthorne Road, led to Kirkdale. Trinity Road and Derby Road seem more or less to represent the road to the lord's manor-house at Bank Hall; to the side of this road towards the river was Bootle Marsh. Gravehouse Lane led from near the spring, first east and then north, to join the present Linacre Lane at the Orrell boundary.
Linacre village was situated on the present Linacre Road, between the point at which this road is joined by Linacre Lane and the Litherland boundary. The shore side of the township was called Linacre Marsh and Marsh Lane led down to it. The northern boundary was Rimrose Brook; the southern was another brook rising in Bootle and flowing to the river parallel to the mill stream.
Bootle was once a 'pleasant marine village, which in the summer season was a place for locals and those from outside the area to come and bathe. 'The ride along the beach, in the summer, would have been remarkably pleasant and therefore very popular. However, the growth of Liverpool trade turned the seaside summer resort into a busy town. The sandy shore was reclaimed for the largest of the Mersey Docks, namely the Brocklebank and Langton, which opened in 1881. Alexandra dock, with three branches also opened in 1881 along with Hornby. To the north of Hornby Dock was a large open space, in the northwest corner of which was the Seaforth Battery. On the river wall there was a lighthouse. In Breeze Hill. There was a large dye works, corn mills, and jute works, however, the occupations of the inhabitants of Bootle were principally connected with docks and railways, the timber-yards and grain stores.
The town hall and public offices, built in 1882, were situated in Balliol Road. Baths and a public library were also provided. There were also two hospitals.
The area provided well for the spiritual needs of its community with a large number of churches catering for residents of all denominations. The earliest church in Bootle was St. Mary's, consecrated in 1827. Christ Church was built in 1866, and St. John's Church, Balliol Road, about the same time. St. Leonard's, Linacre, was built in 1889; and St. Matthew's, also in Linacre, in 1887. The Wesleyan Methodists had several places of worship. The church in Balliol Road was built in 1864, that in Linacre Road in 1900, and Marsh Lane in 1903; they also had Wesley Hall, in Sheridan Place. For Welsh-speaking members there were churches in Trinity Road, built in 1877, and in Knowsley Road. The Primitive Methodists had a church in Queen's Road. The Baptist church in Stanley Road was built in 1846. The Welsh church in Brasenose Road was built in 1871, the work having begun in 1863. A church in Rhyl Street dated from 1884. Emmanuel Congregational church, Balliol Road, opened in 1876. For Welsh-speaking Congregationalists there were two churches; one represented a movement by members of the Kirkdale church in 1878–83, and the other was the result of dissension in the congregation in 1884–5. The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists had two places of worship. Trinity Presbyterian church, built in 1887, is a migration from Derby Road, Kirkdale, where a start was made in 1855. Another church in Linacre was erected in 1896, work having begun in 1883. There was a Mission in Ash Street and a Church of Christ, near Bootle waterworks, and some other meeting-places.
For Roman Catholics there were two churches. The foundation of the mission at St. James's, Marsh Lane, was made in 1845, when a room on the canal bank was hired for worship. In the following year a school chapel was built in Marsh Lane and enlarged in 1868. In 1884 the whole of the buildings and site were purchased by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, but a new church, on an adjacent site, was opened early in 1886. St. Winefride's, Derby Road, was opened in 1895.
The docks made Bootle a target for Nazi German Luftwaffe bombers during the Liverpool Blitz of the Second World War, with approximately 90% of the houses in the town damaged. Bootle had the sad distinction of being the most heavily-bombed borough in the UK. However, Bootle played an important role in the Battle of the Atlantic. The famous u-boat hunter the Royal Navy's Captain Frederic John 'Johnny' Walker, sank more U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic than any other British or Allied commander and was instrumental in the Allied victory of the Battle of the Atlantic.
Johnnie Walker's grandson, Patrick Walker, continues the Walker association with the Royal Navy. He was also a submariner and has achieved the rank of captain of the First Submarine Squadron. He is also President of the Captain Walker's Old Boys Association dedicated to Captain Walker and the men who served with him. The Association disbanded in 2004 as many of the members were now too old to attend. The Standard is now on display in Bootle Town Hall along with many memorabilia of Walkers ships. Starlings bell is rung to commence each Council Meeting. In 1998 a statue by Liverpool sculptor Tom Murphy of Captain Johnnie Walker in a typical pose was unveiled at the Pier Head in Liverpool by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. The campaign for the statue had been launched by the Captain Walker's Old Boys Association. Members of the Association met in Liverpool during the 60th Anniversary of the victory of the Battle of the Atlantic in 2003 to commemorate their comrades.
After the War large council housing estates were built inland from the town centre, including the area of Netherton, which was built on new town principles. The centre of the town was redeveloped and the 'Bootle New Strand' shopping centre was opened in the late 1960s. At the same time, new offices were built in the town centre. The town however lost its access to the beach when neighbouring Seaforth Sands was redeveloped in the early 1970s, but the Seaforth Container Port brought new jobs into the area. The local authority, and other 'social' landlords, saw to it that new housing was built and older stock renovated. Bootle, unlike neighbouring Liverpool did not go down the route of massive housing clearance, and many local communities remained intact.
The borough celebrated its centenary in 1968 and civic pride was much in evidence. The decline of the docks in the 1960s and 1970s caused high unemployment and a declining population as people moved out of the area to seek work. The establishment of large office blocks housing government departments and the National Girobank provided employment for some, but vacancies were filled largely people from outside the Bootle/Liverpool area. In the early 1970s local government reorganisation saw Bootle lose its borough status, to be absorbed into the new local authority of Sefton.

Skip This: First Teaser Trailer for the Final Chapter 'Fifty Shades Freed'
"All that I have is now yours." Ugh. Guns and sex, what else? Exactly the kind of mindless entertainment Americans will eat right up. Universal has debuted the first teaser trailer for Fifty Shades Freed, the final sequel in the Fifty Shades series. You have our permission to completely ignore this and move right along. Fifty Shades Freed is actually directed by the director of Glengarry Glen Ross, which is big get, but oh well. Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan return, starring alongside a massive ensemble cast: Eric Johnson, Eloise Mumford, Rita Ora, Luke Grimes, Victor Rasuk, Max Martini, Callum Keith Rennie, Bruce Altman, Arielle Kebbel, Robinne Lee, Brant Daugherty, with Kim Basinger and Marcia Gay Harden. This doesn't look any better than the others. Skip it and just forget it, not even worth a watch.
Here's the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for James Foley's Fifty Shades Freed, direct from YouTube:
Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson return as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades Freed, the third chapter based on the worldwide bestselling 'Fifty Shades' phenomenon. After a long honeymoon in Europe, Anastasia and Christian Grey return to Seattle where Christian admits he is upset that Ana has kept her maiden name, Steele, while at work. After some resistance, Ana yields when she finds out how important taking his name is to Christian. Christian then gives Seattle Independent Publishing as a late wedding present to Ana, who plans to rename it to Grey Publishing. Fifty Shades Freed is directed by filmmaker James Foley, of Glengarry Glen Ross, Reckless, At Close Range, The Corruptor, Confidence, and Perfect Stranger previously, as well as episodes of "House of Cards". The screenplay is written by Niall Leonard, based on E.L. James' bestselling novel. Universal will release James Foley's Fifty Shades Freed in theaters everywhere starting on February 9th, 2018, just before Valentine's Day, early next year. Anyone?

Q: WooCommerce: Change cart total sent to payment Gateway I'm trying to change the cart total at checkout, I have a completely valid use case for this, basically Paypal doesn't support my local currency.
So instead, I leave the store currency as USD, but enter the prices as if they were my local currency, and on the checkout page I inform the customers(all local) that they will be billed in USD and i show them the converted amount.

The issue is that the Total being sent to the Gateway (Paypal) is not $16.65, instead it sends the $45.00
Here's the code and hook I used before to get this working before:
function uv_set_total_for_gateway( object $order, array $order_data ) : void {

    $total = $order->get_total();

    // Convert our total to the what we want to pass to the Payment gateway
    $converted_total = $total * 0.37;
    $converted_total = round( $converted_total, 2 );

    // Set the new calculated total for processing by the payment gateway
    $order->set_total( $converted_total );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_create_order', 'uv_set_total_for_gateway', 9999, 2 );

I'm not sure why this no longer works

Thief who snatched £4,500 from a pensioner to stay behind bars, judges rule
The victim was going to use the money to adapt his conservator for his wheelchair-dependent wife
Strand News Service
Sam FergusonTrainee reporter
A cruel thief who snatched £4,500 a pensioner had just withdrawn from his bank got the punishment he deserved, top judges have ruled.
Anthony John Clacher, 36, was jailed for two years at Swindon Crown Court on October 13 last year.
He admitted theft and asked for four other crimes to be taken into consideration, Lord Justice Treacy told London's Appeal Court on Wednesday (February 28).
In August last year, the victim was at a bank in Trowbridge, having arranged to withdraw £4,500.
He was going to use the money to adapt his conservatory, for use by him and his wheelchair-dependent wife.
But heartless heroin addict Clacher, of Portway, Warminster, had other ideas.
He had been standing behind the pensioner in the bank queue and followed him to a car park.
The man put the bag containing the money and his passport on the passenger seat and went round to start his car.

But the fast-moving thief then pounced, whipping open the passenger door and snatching the bag, before running off.
He was soon arrested but claimed the money could not be recovered as he had given it to a man to whom he owed a drug debt.
The crimes he asked to be taken into consideration were thefts of two washing machines, a television and a microwave.
His elderly victim had suffered 'stress and anxiety' and had to replace his passport, said the judge.
And, as his insurance only covered him to the value of £500, he lost £4,000.
Clacher had an 'extremely bad' criminal record, with convictions for 57 crimes.
He also had a 'history of heroin misuse', said the judge.
His lawyers argued his jail term was far too tough and should be reduced.
But Lord Justice Treacy said the crime involved 'deliberate targeting of a vulnerable person' and a 'significant degree of planning'.
"This appeal is dismissed," he concluded.

Friction at the Entry Level
End of the Melting Pot?
The debate over Hispanic assimilation in America has tended to sidestep a troubling reality. In many of the places where immigrants are making the deepest inroads, native minorities—and low-income blacks, in particular—are losing ground. This equation has complicated any clear liberal/conservative divide on the immigration question.
George Borjas, Scrivner professor of economics and public policy at the Kennedy School of Government, has argued forcefully for restricting the flow of poor labor migrants into the United States. Using census data from 1960 to 2000, Borjas links increased immigration, especially from Mexico, and declining wages at the bottom rungs of the U.S. economy, where native-born minorities are heavily concentrated. A 10 percent increase in the size of a given skill group, his data show, reduces annual earnings of salaried workers in that skill group by 7.1 percent. Borjas maintains that low-income African Americans—particularly those without high-school degrees—have been hardest hit by the influx of Mexican workers into the labor force. As the earning prospects of unskilled blacks have gone down, crime has gone up. Borjas graphed a correlation between a rise in immigration in the 1970s and an increased incarceration rate for African-American males.
Critics have challenged Borjas's economic findings, and some have even accused him of ethnic prejudice for deeming Mexicans "less worthy" than other immigrant groups. (Borjas himself is a first-generation Cuban immigrant.) But Borjas is not alone in the view that immigration has adversely affected the most economically vulnerable African Americans. Sociologist William Julius Wilson—Geyser University Professor at the Kennedy School—asserts that Hispanic immigrants have undercut inner-city blacks in the low-wage labor market in Chicago. In a 1988 survey of Chicago employers, conducted for his 1996 book When Work Disappears, Wilson found that employers overwhelmingly preferred to hire immigrants for entry-level positions over blacks—and especially over black males. Racial stereotypes exert a powerful economic influence in the low-wage service sector. "Because black males are perceived as dangerous, belligerent, unreliable, and somewhat lazy," he says, "employers do not want them interacting with consumers." As long as there is a ready supply of immigrant labor, employers will choose immigrants first. Wilson notes that blacks fared somewhat better during the economic boom of the late 1990s, when labor markets were tight; but the slack labor markets since have favored employer preferences.
Social and economic tensions between blacks and Hispanics have been growing in recent years, particularly in many of the "new immigrant destinations." In Georgia, the jobless rate for black men is nearly triple that of Hispanic men, according to labor statistics cited by the New York Times of October 3, 2006. In Atkinson County, Georgia, more blacks than Hispanics fail to meet minimum standards in the public schools. "If you have 10 factory openings, I would say Hispanics would get the majority of the jobs now," Joyce Taylor, the Atkinson County clerk, who is black, told the Times. "And if you look at the little grocery stores, there are more Hispanic businesses than black businesses." Interracial contact in these locales does not seem to reduce frictions. A 2006 study published in the Journal of Politics found that neighborhood contact between blacks and Hispanics in Durham, North Carolina, intensified group stereotypes and increased the likelihood that Hispanics would identify themselves more with whites than with blacks.
Helen Marrow, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology and social policy, has been investigating the dynamics of black-Hispanic race relations in the rural and small-town South. In places where blacks form the majority, she finds, their economic resentment of newcomers tends to be greater than in places where blacks are in the minority. "Strength in numbers" applies in the political context but not in the socioeconomic arena; a high proportion of African Americans in a county, she concludes, exacerbates black-Hispanic tensions by elevating African Americans' sense of individual and group-level threat. Marrow says her research findings suggest "a fairly bleak scenario" for black-Hispanic socioeconomic conflict in such locales.
This disturbing trend has no easy solution. According to Wilson, black leaders are ambivalent about how to address the perceived threat from Hispanic immigration. On the one hand, they identify with immigrants—many of whom are poor people of color—and they are opposed to discrimination; but, at the same time, they perceive the negative impact that immigrants are having on low-wage blacks. Wilson himself says that, although he doesn't agree with the "conservative restrictionist position," he would like to see "a humane immigration policy that is more likely to help workers in this country than hurt them."

USS Monterey and the US presence in the Black Sea
Josh Kucera from The Bug Pit asked me for my views on recent Russian criticisms of the USS Monterey Aegis-equipped cruiser participating in the Sea Breeze 2011 naval exercises in the Black Sea.
The purpose of the exercise is to conduct training in counter-piracy operations, non-combatant evacuation operations, boarding, and search and seizure. As Josh points out, none of this has anything to do with missile defense. Yet Russian objections focus on this issue. Josh quotes two Russian statements on the ship visit, the first from a Georgian newspaper and the second as reported by RIA-Novosti.
"The Russian side has repeatedly stressed that we will not let pass unnoticed the appearance of elements of US strategic infrastructure in the immediate proximity to our borders and will see such steps as a threat to our security."
"The Russian Foreign Ministry earlier expressed concern that along with negotiations on cooperation in the global air defense system, [the U.S.] is conducting simultaneous 'reconnaissance' operations near the borders of our country."
In addition to these objections related to missile defense, the foreign ministry also objected to the Monterey's visit to Batumi, Georgia after the exercise:
And now this American warship has demonstratively entered the Georgian port of Batumi… Whatever the explanations are, it is clear that the Georgian authorities will see the incident as encouragement for their ambitions for revenge against the Russian allies of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which is unlikely to help stability in the region.
As I see it, the reason for the controversy is because the Russian side believes that they were promised that the U.S. would not send Aegis cruisers to the Black Sea unless there was some kind of imminent threat. Obviously that wasn't the case here, so they think this is another case of promises broken, something they're very sensitive about because of their perceptions of how NATO enlargement went down.
The Monterey has been officially designated as part of phase one of the European missile defense shield. It is normally stationed in the Mediterranean as a missile defense ship. So it wasn't irrational for Russia to connect its arrival in the Black Sea with missile defense issues.
On the one hand, the purpose of the visit has nothing to do with missile defense. On the other hand, it's obvious to everyone that by sending an Aegis cruiser to Batumi the US is making a statement. Not so much about missile defense, but about the US feeling that it has the right to send its warships anywhere it wants to without regard for the sensitivities of countries such as Russia. And Russian officials never miss the opportunity to turn a molehill into a mountain when it comes to that kind of symbolism.
At the same time, it seems to me that as far as the US is concerned, its navy is just following a long-stated policy that its ships will go anywhere they're invited, without regard for what other states in the area think. So from that point of view they're just following through. And they're right that the ship's purpose in the Black Sea has nothing to do with missile defense.
I think the US policy is consistent — after all, Moscow has objected to the presence of US warships in the Black Sea on several previous occasions. It's just that sending an AEGIS cruiser has allowed Moscow to give its criticisms another form. Rather than just focusing on US ships visiting Georgia, it can now use the missile defense angle…
While Josh thinks this may have a negative effect on efforts to reset US-Russian relations, I'm not so sure. One should always be careful to distinguish Russian rhetoric from practical cooperation. While I think cooperation on missile defense is a dead end, there is every possibility of continuing cooperation on other issues that affect the security of both states. I would be surprised if any number of negative statements such as the ones put out by Moscow on the Monterey visit would affect that.
UPDATE: Regarding the last paragraph, Josh wrote me with the following clarification:
I don't think this episode is causing problems between the US and Russia, but more that a symptom that something is wrong. Because otherwise Russia wouldn't be making such a mountain out of this molehill, and possibly the US would have been a little more cautious about sending a provocative signal. But then, when we get
into Russian politics I'm definitely out of my element…
On this, I pretty much agree. There are still many people (on both sides) who are inherently suspicious of the other side's intentions, and their statements just feed on each other to reproduce the cycle of suspicion and latent (or more) hostility. And that is going to keep causing problems for US-Russian relations for years to come.

Stratfor's expanding ignorance
Stratfor, the company that provides "global intelligence" to the world, seems to have completely lost its collective mind. It is currently in the middle of publishing a four part series on "Russia's Expanding Influence." (The reports are only accessible through the website to subscribers, though they are being reprinted in Johnson's Russia List.) No author is listed, so I must assume this means it is a collective product that has the imprimatur of the entire corporation.
To summarize briefly, the introduction indicates that because of its geographic indefensibility, Russia needs a buffer zone around its borders to be a stable and strong state. The next part is the core of the argument and worth quoting in full:
First are four countries where Russia feels it must fully reconsolidate its influence: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Georgia. These countries protect Russia from Asia and Europe and give Moscow access to the Black and Caspian seas. They are also the key points integrated with Russia's industrial and agricultural heartland. Without all four of them, Russia is essentially impotent. So far, Russia has reconsolidated power in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, and part of Georgia is militarily occupied. In 2010, Russia will focus on strengthening its grasp on these countries.
This analysis is so wrong as to be funny. To say that Russia has reconsolidated its influence in those three countries is to be completely ignorant of current events. Belarus has recently turned away from Russia and is trying to get closer to the EU. Kazakhstan is primarily focused on developing its economy and is turning more and more to China in the economic and even inthe security sphere. And anyone who thinks that Yanukovich will do whatever Russia wants will be sorely disappointed. All signs in Ukraine point to him driving a hard bargain and making Russia pay for what it wants — it won't be the knee-jerk anti-Russianism of Yushchenko, but he won't meekly submit either.
Furthermore, as Keith Darden has shown in great detail in his recent book, for most of the last 20 years, Belarus and Kazakhstan have been spearheading re-integration efforts in the former Soviet space, efforts that Russia has repeatedly resisted. The story of the Belarusian efforts to increase political integration with Russia is instructive in this regard. After years of getting nowhere on implementation, Belarusian President Lukashenka has finally given up and has turned to the EU to balance his previously completely Russia-focused foreign policy. With Kazakhstan, Stratfor discusses the gradually increasing Chinese influence but underplays its current role in the country and in Central Asia as a whole. In fact, rather than Russia having "reconsolidated power" in Kazakhstan, there is a three-way competition for influence in Central Asia between Russia, China and the United States. Russia is for the moment the strongest player in this competition (and the US is clearly the weakest), but its influence is waning while China's is increasing. Kazakhstan, just like the other states in the region, is quite happy to play off these three powers against each other to preserve its own freedom of maneuver.
Anyone who thinks that the result of the recent Ukrainian elections means that Ukraine is returning to Russian orbit will be in for some nasty surprises in the coming months. As we saw as far back as 1994, Ukrainian politicians who campaign on pro-Russian themes are likely to adopt a more middle-of-the-road foreign policy once they get elected. Yanukovich's early signals indicate that he is likely to follow the same trajectory as Kuchma did more than 15 years ago. Even analysts who are deeply suspicious of Russia, such as Jamestown Foundation's Vlad Socor, believe that Yanukovich will try to balance Russia and the West in order to preserve his own freedom of action. In today's Eurasia Daily Monitor, Socor writes:
The Brussels and Moscow visits have probably set a pattern for Yanukovych's presidency. He is moving almost without transition from a pro-Russian electoral campaign to a double-vector policy toward Russia and the West. Meanwhile, Yanukovych has no real popular mandate for new policy initiatives, having been elected with less than one half of the votes cast, and lacking a parliamentary majority (although he and Donetsk business may cobble together a parliamentary majority). For all these reasons, the president is not in a position to deliver on any agreements with Russia at this time.
Ukrainian-Russian relations will certainly be less strained than they were over the last five years, but by no means does this mean that Russia is anywhere close to controlling Ukrainian politics.
Overall, I find this analysis puzzling. I can't imagine that the folks at Stratfor are so clueless that they don't already everything I wrote above. The only alternative, though, is that they are distorting the situation in the region in order to pursue some kind of political agenda dedicated to resurrecting the Cold War-era confrontation between Russia and the United States. I find this possibility even more disturbing than the possibility that they are actually unaware of the political situation in the region.
Update: I just read part 2 of this series, which includes a section about the Baltics. While I have no desire to go into it at length, the following sentence was just too amusing not to note: "Estonia is also mainly Ugro-Finnish, which means that Russians are surrounded by Ugro-Finns on both sides of the Gulf of Finland." Now I can't quite get the image of Russia being surrounded by Estonia and Finland out of my head.

Why the Mistral?
I had thought I would be writing this week on what has been accomplished by the December 1 deadline for completing the reorganizational phase of the military reform. But since everyone else is still talking about the Mistral, I've inevitably been thinking more about the reasons for the possible purchase.
First of all, there is no reason for panic. This is something both supporters of Georgia and boosters of the Russian shipbuilding industry should keep in mind. American analysts such as Vlad Socor and David Smith are worried that the Mistral will be used to attack Georgia or the Crimea. Setting aside my doubts on whether there is any reason for Russia to undertake such an operation, we should remember that it will take several years after a purchase agreement is completed before any Mistral-class ships actually become part of the Russian fleet. And while we can expect the first one, built in France, to be built fairly expeditiously, the ones that will be built under license in Russia will take quite a while, given the need to refurbish shipyards before construction begins and the general slow pace of ship construction in Russia. I would guess that the political uncertainty surrounding Russia's relations with these two countries will be resolved before the Mistral comes online.
Russian opponents of the purchase frequently note how this purchase will spell the final doom of domestic military shipbuilding, if not of the entire Russian defense industry. Comments about how this purchase is taking work away from domestic shipbuilding are, oddly enough, immediately followed by statements by the same person arguing that Russia does not have facilities to build Mistrals under French license. If there are no facilities capable of building the Mistral, how can there be facilities capable of building a domestic equivalent?
I would argue that the Russian military shipbuilding industry is more likely to be doomed without such a purchase. Russia's shipyards have proven themselves virtually incapable of building new military surface ships of any size. (They seem to still be able to build submarines for some reason) Only one new ship larger than a corvette has been completed since 1993. The Admiral Gorshkov frigate keeps getting delayed. The initially highly publicized Ivan Gren LST project has disappeared completely — it may be that it's failure is the proximate cause for the RFN looking to France for an alternative.
It used to be that everyone blamed lack of financing. But when financing became readily available in the middle of this decade, the rate of ships being completed didn't increase. By this point, it seems pretty clear that primary blame must be cast on problems at the shipyards themselves, rather than on the government or the Navy. So a license to build a foreign-designed ship may be just the thing to revitalize the Admiralty shipyard in St. Petersburg or Sevmash in Severodvinsk.
Whether this is the ship that should be built is another matter entirely. Various authors have made the case that the Mistral is not the ship that the Russian Navy needs. It may be that at least part of the reason for its purchase has to do with political factors, such as improving Russian-French relations. Or it may be that the Navy wants a versatile ship that can be used in many different ways.
While because of its versatility I don't think it would be wasted in the Russian Navy, it's probably not the best use of the limited procurement budget. It might make a good utility ship, good for "conducting independent amphibious operations in distant locales" but is that really going to be a primary mission for the Russian Navy in coming years? It seems to me that for the foreseeable future, the Navy's main missions will consist of protecting sea lanes and showing the flag. The Mistral could be used for these kinds of operations, but they are not its primary purpose. Given the money that would be spent on this ship, it seems that the RFN might as well get exactly what it needs.
To the extent that Russia needs new ships, it seems that a large frigate or even a destroyer would be more useful than an amphibious assault ship. For the moment, the Udaloys are doing their jobs, and may be considered the workhorses of the Russian fleet. But with one exception (Admiral Chabanenko), they are now all 20-25 years old. It's time to start thinking about what comes next, especially since the remaining Sovremennyi destroyers are extremely unreliable and hardly ever go far from their home ports. Given the speed with which Russian ships are being built (such as the Admiral Gorshkov frigate, now approaching its fifth year of construction), it may be time to start thinking about building a replacement, so that they are ready in ten years when the Udaloys start to retire.

The Future of Russian Tanks
In the last month, the Russian media has started to cover the equipment modernization aspect of military reform, after virtually ignoring this topic for the previous nine months. I have already addressed the modernization of the Russian Navy. In this post, I want to briefly touch on the significance of the announced changes in the Russian tank fleet.
In July, the Ministry of Defense announced that they will reduce the total number of tanks in active service in the military from 23,000 to 2,000. (And down from an astonishing 65,000 at the end of the Cold War.) These will be based in two separate tank brigades and more than 20 tank battalions that will be incorporated into other brigades. The two separate brigades will be located in Siberia and Moscow.
The implication is that Russia has decided that it will no longer seek to be prepared to fight large scale land wars of the kind that formed the core of Soviet military planning during the Cold War. Instead, Russian military planners are planning to develop a rapid response army that is well prepared to fight in smaller regional conflicts, while depending on its nuclear arms to deter any potential aggression from major adversaries.
This means that planners are finally taking to heart some of the lessons that became apparent as early as 1994, at the start of the first Chechen war. This was when a column of unprotected tanks entering Grozny was destroyed by individual Chechen fighters armed with rocket-propelled grenades. While the weakness of unprotected tank columns facing enemies using guerrilla tactics were recognized by Russian military observers at that point, the military did virtually nothing about it, neither in terms of changing tactics or modernizing equipment, for another 15 years. This continuing weakness became apparent during the war with Georgia, when the 58th army's tank columns were heavily damaged by Georgian artillery. Some Russian analysts have in fact argued that Georgia's Soviet-made T-72 tanks, equipped with thermal imaging equipment and superior West European navigation and communications systems, were superior to Russia's T-72s and were only defeated in battle because the Georgian military could not provide their armored units with close air support. In other words, even the best tanks are largely useless without helicopters backing them up.
Nevertheless, Russia's tanks do need to be upgraded to improve their communications, targeting, and manueverability. The reduction in numbers makes this modernization possible. The newest T-90s, of which there are around 300 in service, are equipped with thermal imaging sights and superior armor when compared to the T-72, its immediate predecessor. There are also efforts underway to modernize the T-72 to increase its speed and manueverability, though designs aimed at making the T-72 comparable in armor and firepower to the T-90 have not been accept by the Russian military. All of these measures can be seen as interim steps as the Russian military prepares to begin procuring a new generation battle tank in the next five years.
All in all, the announcement that the number of Russian tanks will be reduced by a factor of ten and those remaining modernized is another piece of evidence that Russian military leaders have finally prevailed on planners in the general staff to abandon their focus (left over from the Cold War) on planning to fight major land wars. The Russian military is being redesigned to fight small wars against opponents who may employ guerrilla tactics. Until now, this assessment was primarily based on evidence related to the restructuring of the force as a whole. It is now being confirmed by the choices military planners are making about equipment.

The Voice UK: 'Sit DOWN' Jennifer Hudson yells at coach after shock wardrobe malfunction
Jennifer Hudson was stunned into silence during contestant Emmanuel Smith's incredible performance on The Voice tonight.
The coach – who has become known for throwing her shoes at the contestants she's particularly drawn in by – let loose following Emmanuel's powerhouse vocals on the ITV show.
The American star chucked both of her shoes at the singer and in a surprising move will.i.am followed suit.
Things descended into chaos as the crowd went wild and Jennifer raced to the stage to praise the contestant.
"I've got something to say!" she cried, gearing up to share her words of wisdom with Emmanuel.
Then all of a sudden, will.i.am wanted to join in too and stood up from his seat at the iconic ITV show podium.
When he did however, it seemed his trousers got caught and slipped down slightly as the audience whooped and gasped behind him.
Presenter Emma Willis then shrieked as she realised the coach's slight wardrobe malfunction, and will.i.am could be seen shuffling up his clothing back into place.
But Jennifer had apparently had enough of the craziness and she delivered an order to her co-star.
"Sit down!" she yelled, but it was too late as will.i.am was keen to show his appreciation for the contestant.
Sitting back in her seat once more, Jennifer told the future star: "You can keep my shoe.
"I don't even want the shoe no more, you can just keep it."
Emma and Emmanuel laughed along with Jennifer and will.i.am's antics, but the sentiment was real.
"He was great will," Olly shared.
"That song is in my heart, he was amazing," Jennifer added.
Also on tonight's show, the rest of the coaches picked their acts to go through to the semi-finals.
Following one impressive song from Molly Hocking, will.i.am tried to impersonate his fellow coach Olly Murs, but it didn't go too well.
Sir Tom joked the singer had sounded "Australian", and will.i.am was left slightly red-faced.
"I messed that up," he laughed.
The Voice UK continues for the semi-final Saturday on ITV.

My pastels have two main sources of inspiration: the shifting beauty of the natural landscape and the sensuous lure of the pastels themselves. Although I love to paint the landscape and am inspired by nature, I am not primarily interested in naturalism, but rather in representing what has moved me about a particular scene and exploring how to translate this feeling into line and color. Soft pastels are ideally suited for my•purposes: the crystalline structure of the pure pigments reflect and refract the light, resulting in a luminosity and richness of color.

Q: How can I create a service account associated with a marketplace application? I have a google app engine marketplace application, with an associated API console in which I've enabled some APIs.  I need to set up a service account so I can use GDrive with my app.
Normally the API console (for a given API project) starts out with a big OAuth2 button, from which I can create a service account.  No such button exists for my marketplace app's API console.
How can I create a service account associated with my marketplace application?
Overall, it appears that the "Authorized Access" section of the API console is missing.

A: The "Authorized Access" section of the API console is actually there, it's just not visible.  After enabling GDrive for the existing app and ensuring all API Project settings were properly set up, I made the "Authorized Access" section visible (via CSS tweaking) and attempted to add a service account.  The first time failed (possibly due to some delay in enabling the GDrive API or some other API console setting); a subsequent attempt resulted in a service account being created for the API project.  Success!

Growing up in the declining manufacturing town of East Liberty, New York - beset by unemployment, rising crime, and an influx of drugs, and encircled by struggling dairy farms - Justin feels isolated and decidedly unheroic. These feelings are intensified by his parents' divorce, his longing for an unattainable girl, and the death, eight years previous but still a potent memory, of his infant brother. When Justin steps 'over the line' one afternoon, attempting to help the drug-addled girlfriend of an unstable bully, he triggers a series of increasingly perilous encounters. By week's end, Justin has been drawn into his community's sinister underworld and compelled to unexpected action and a fresh understanding of the complexities of heroism.

Home/World/Iraq pushes vaccine rollout amid widespread apathy and distrust
Iraq pushes vaccine rollout amid widespread apathy and distrust
BAGHDAD (AP) – The deployment of vaccines in Iraq was overdue for weeks. Apathy, concern and rumors have saved many individuals from getting vaccinated regardless of a surge in coronavirus infections and calls from the federal government to enroll in vaccines.
It took the general public approval of a populist Shiite clergyman for the vaccinations – and the footage of him being vaccinated final week – to make a distinction.
A whole bunch of Muqtada al-Sadr followers are actually heading to clinics to comply with his instance, pointing to the ability of sectarian loyalties in Iraq and the deep distrust of the state.
"I used to be in opposition to the thought of being vaccinated. I used to be scared, I did not consider it, "mentioned Manhil Alshabli, a 30-year-old Iraqi from the holy metropolis of Najaf. "However that has all modified now."
"Seeing him get vaccinated motivated me," Alshabli mentioned, talking by cellphone from Najaf the place he and plenty of different al-Sadr loyalists have been vaccinated, Alshabli likened it to troopers underneath stress after they see their chief within the entrance line.
Iraq is grappling with a extreme second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The variety of new circumstances rose to greater than 8,000 a day final month, the best on file. The push was pushed largely by public apathy in the direction of the virus. Many routinely ignore virus restrictions, refusing to put on face masks and persevering with to carry massive public gatherings.
Day by day charges declined final week, with 5,068 new circumstances reported on Monday.
The Iraqi well being ministry has repeatedly tried to reassure Iraqis that the vaccines will not be dangerous, however this has not satisfied many who harbor a long-standing mistrust of the system. well being.
Iraq's centralized system, largely unchanged because the Seventies, has been worn out by a long time of battle, sanctions, and protracted unrest because the 2003 US invasion. Successive governments have invested little within the sector.
Many keep away from going to public hospitals. Final month, a large fireplace ravaged the coronavirus ward of a Baghdad hospital, killing greater than 80 individuals and injuring dozens. Iraqi Well being Minister Hasan al-Tamimi was suspended for alleged negligence and resigned on Tuesday following the incident.
To date, lower than 380,000 individuals have been totally immunized within the nation of 40 million individuals.
Final week, as sluggish vaccination efforts continued, images of Al-Sadr in a black turban, sporting a black masks and having his arm stung, started circulating on social media.
Quickly after, his supporters launched a vaccination marketing campaign, calling on supporters to affix them and posting footage of themselves carrying his posters as they sat in medical facilities receiving the vaccine.
The well being ministry took benefit of the marketing campaign by posting the photograph of al-Sadr being vaccinated on its Fb web page, saying his vaccination was meant to encourage all residents to do the identical.
Faris Al-Lami, assistant professor of group drugs on the College of Baghdad, mentioned the federal government is broadly seen as corrupt and its actions because the begin of the pandemic have solely elevated public distrust.
He cited some early practices, equivalent to utilizing safety forces to take sufferers from their houses as in the event that they have been criminals, and suspending funerals of those that have died from the virus for a number of weeks.
Al-Lami additionally highlighted what he mentioned are present problematic insurance policies. For instance, he mentioned that high-risk sufferers, equivalent to these with continual diseases or immunodeficiencies, have to attend inside hospitals to get vaccinated, placing them at excessive threat of an infection. In the meantime, individuals with private relationships can get them simply.
In keeping with him, it's a constructive improvement when the vaccination of a political or spiritual determine encourages individuals to be vaccinated. "However the ideology of blindly following anybody's resolution is a catastrophe in itself," he mentioned.
Iraq acquired 336,000 new doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine on the finish of March and Iraqis over 18 are certified to obtain the vaccine. Final month, the primary cargo of doses of Pfizer arrived within the nation, with 49,000 injections.
"All of the vaccines which have arrived in Iraq are protected and efficient … however till now some residents are afraid of getting vaccinated resulting from malicious rumors," mentioned Ruba Hassan, an official with the Ministry of Well being. .
The well being ministry has launched measures to induce Iraqis to get vaccinated. They embrace journey restrictions for these unable to current a vaccination card and layoffs of staff in shops, malls and eating places. Whereas the measures have led extra individuals to be vaccinated, they've additionally confused and angered a nonetheless largely reluctant public.
Restaurant homeowners mentioned they have been blinded by the measures, not sure if it meant they risked closure in the event that they refused.
"There isn't a clear legislation to comply with," mentioned Rami Amir, 30, who owns a quick meals restaurant in Baghdad. "I do not need all of my workers to be vaccinated as a result of they might have severe uncomfortable side effects or issues," he mentioned, echoing widespread skepticism.
Omer Mohammed, one other restaurateur, mentioned candidates for a brand new job at his restaurant had given up when he mentioned vaccination playing cards have been a needed prerequisite.
Healthcare professionals got precedence to obtain the vaccine and have been in a position to pre-register in January when Iraq acquired its first cargo of fifty,000 doses of Chinese language Sinopharm vaccine.
When current medical college graduate Mohammed al-Sudani, 24, went for the shot this month, he mentioned the method was "bittersweet." He introduced with out prior registration of the AstraZeneca vaccine. He did not want it. There was hardly anybody there.
The next week, he introduced two of his aunts to the identical middle. There have been solely two different individuals within the ready room.
"The nurse arrived and requested them to name their family members and associates to come back and improve the quantity to at the least 10 individuals as a result of the injections contained in the vaccine kits have been solely legitimate for six hours", he mentioned.
It was a distinct scene within the hospitals that carry footage of Pfizer. Tabark Rashad, 27, visited al-Kindi hospital in Baghdad final week. The ready room was full of dozens of individuals, elevating issues about an infection.
"I went to guard myself from COVID-19, not have it on this room," she mentioned. "It was chaos."

Maroons open at home against Dominican
By Alexander Sotiropoulos
It's that time of the year again. Chicago has seen its first snowfall, and come Tuesday night at 7 p.m., the Maroons will play their regular season opener against Dominican at the Ratner Center.
With a strong recruiting class and every player returning from last season, confidence is high for the Chicago squad.
One player who will have a highly anticipated return for the Maroons is fourth-year forward Steve Stefanou, who will be expected to add diversity to the offensive structure. Last season, Stefanou sustained an injury that rendered him unable to play for much of the season. Chicago, which has various three-point specialists, will look for more post play this season.
"We're still [going to] shoot a lot of threes, but adding Steve to the mix will diversify what we do," fourth-year guard Tommy Sotos said. "Along with the development of [second-year forward] Sam Gage on the block to go along with [third-year forward] Matt Mackenzie and [Stefanou], we've focused a great deal on getting the ball into the post with more proficiency this year."
In addition to Stefanou's return, the Maroons hope fourth-year guard Matt Johnson continues to provide a similar type of scoring attach as last year. Johnson was the team's leading scorer last, averaging 17.7 points per game. He also had a record-breaking performance of 39 points in a game against NYU.
Fourth-year Tom Williams will also be key for the Maroons on both offense and defense. Last season Williams was the blocks leader and second behind Johnson for most points per game with 9.4.
Individually, Sotos hopes to have an all-around clutch effort in the season opener.
"As an individual, I'm really looking to lock people up on defense and bury open jumpers on the offensive end," he said. "My effectiveness on offense is predicated on my ability to stretch the floor with the jump shot, so if I can draw out the defense with a high perimeter field goal percentage, along with a turnover-free effort, I'll be pleased."
Although the Maroons lost to Dominican 74–73 in the season opener last season, this year, Dominican is without their leading scorer Marquis Turley, who graduated. Turley scored 16 points in the season opener last year.
The loss of Turley, along with the Maroons' addition of first-year point guard Royce Muskeyvalley, may be enough for the Chicago to edge out Dominican. Muskeyvalley has already received attention for his teammates for his effectiveness at practice, scrimmages, and the preseason match at UIC.
"[Muskeyvalley's] ability to probe the lane on offense and put pressure on the interior with his penetration is the ideal compliment to [fourth-year point guard Michael Sustarsic's] game, which is predicated on a dead-eye perimeter shot and a savvy use of the dribble to test the defense," Sotos said. "Defensively, [Muskeyvalley] makes entry into half-court sets a nightmare for opposing point guards because of his quickness and instincts. We're really excited to have someone with his skill set on the floor this year."
Joining Muskeyvalley will be first-years Adam Butterfield, Ryan Davis, Ian Joyce, and Alex Pyper.
With the dynamic lineup, the Maroons are hoping to begin their season with a 1–0 record. Tip-off is tonight at 7 p.m.

Winter 2020 Courses
The Center for Latin American Studies falls under the division of Stanford Global Studies (SGS). As a part of SGS, CLAS is pleased to offer a Minor in Global Studies with a specialization in Latin American Studies.
What is Global Studies?
Global studies encompasses the insights and knowledge base of area studies: the interdisciplinary study of world regions and their intersecting cultures, languages, history, politics, and societies. Global studies advances this concept further by applying multi-disciplinary knowledge, from human biology and earth sciences to music and engineering, to better understand the character of world regions, their respective developmental trajectories, and the way those trajectories fit within the larger context of globalization.
Global Studies Minor
The Global Studies Minor is available to Stanford undergraduates from any major, and is designed to provide students an opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary study in one of six specializations, including in-depth language study, while integrating this knowledge into a larger vision of global affairs.
Students planning to pursue the Global Studies Minor with a specialization in Latin American Studies should submit for approval an online proposal of coursework no later than the second quarter of their junior year. CLAS requires that students demonstrate proficiency in Spanish or Portuguese and complete 28 units of coursework certified for the Minor that are not redundant to required units for their majors; students are urged to pursue field experience or study abroad in Latin America.
All students will be required to complete 28 units, including a three-unit gateway course, Global 101. The remaining 25 credits are unique to each specialization. Upon completion of the minor, students will present their capstone projects in a seminar with other Global Studies Minor participants. Students participating in the Bing Overseas Studies Program are especially encouraged to enroll.
In this introductory course, students will explore global themes that span international borders, such as health, development, migration, and security. The aim of this course is to encourage students to think comparatively across major world regions, and to work on issues that integrate specific regions within the larger international community.
Why Study Latin America?
Engage in the integrated understanding of the region's history and culture, political economy, and environmental sustainability
Gain a conceptual foundation to pursue a variety of career paths in the public and private sectors pertaining to the region
Acquire language and cultural competency
Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Honors

Received a response from Brad this morning.

Hyperbole will not serve you well here. No one is getting "canceled" for firing an underperforming coach, even in this environment, especially a white coach.
I'll tell you who IS watching, his alma mater...remember those rumors South Carolina might hire him as a successor AD? Playing it safe isn't going to cut it at an SEC school.
The South Carolina angle is an interesting point, but if they (SC) still want him after what they have seen so far, I think Brad could easily explain away letting Paulsen serve out the last year of his contract (new president wasn't interested, didn't want the optics of paying a coach during COVID financial issues, etc.).

Thanked me for my commitment to GMU over the years and said that he understands my frustration and the concerns I shared.
If Dave's buyout was more than $200k I would agree that Mason likely would not fire him for fear of bad optics during a global health emergency. But even in our current situation, that amount is not enough to cause much heartburn — it's basically the change in Mason's couch cushions, pandemic or not.
Making the right hire as head coach gives the AD a great opportunity to more than cover that $200,000 through increased donations and season ticket sales. Hopefully the president knows better than to be penny wise and pound foolish.
As I have said before, I agree with the logic, I just have doubts if that argument flies since it is the same argument that would have been used to get rid of Hewitt. Obviously, the president has changed, and ultimately appears to be the one that has to agree to Brad's request if he makes it. The things that give me doubt on that front are:
I don't see any evidence that Brad is a risk taker. It would seem to me that pushing for Paulsen's early removal could have some risk (it was his guy, "wasting" $200k/couch money
Ticket sales is a moot argument until there are signs that lockdowns will go away for next season)
The donations argument is somewhat tainted by the fact that it didn't work with Paulsen, why would it work with a new guy (or gal ;-) ). Tony would help with that argument
I haven't seen anything that hints to what President Washington's views are of athletics/basketball. Has he been at the games (I know restricted attendance), has he made any statements regarding athletics?
Will Washington be risk averse being so new? To some degree, Brad was risk averse. He could have come in right away and said Hewitt wasn't his man, but he waited a year. I know there were other factors on that, though
What is Brad's relationship with President Washington-again I have no data points. They guys practically just met
I think Paulsen should be replaced at the end of the year, I just have doubts if Mason has the appetite to do it given the current circumstances.

No offense but it feels like you are searching for reasons why Mason wouldn't make a coaching change and downplaying the reasons why it would.
Maybe you have undiagnosed PTSD from being a loyal supporter of our half-assed athletic department for so many years...
gmujim92, Jan 13, 2021 at 11:02 AM
Definitely on both accounts!
I am absolutely looking for reasons why they wouldn't do it. I am not downplaying the reasons why they would do it to be one sided, I just feel everyone else has beat those to death. I am just trying to look at the other side and bring some reality that it might not go exactly the way everyone wants it to. I (obviously) have very little faith in the Mason and the AD and bringing that skill to benefit the future mental welfare of the few remaining "fans" that come here.
All joking aside, Washington wouldn't be the first university president to decide he wants "his guy" running the flagship athletic program.
And given Dave's mediocre record, who would argue about making a change after this season? It would be completely justified.
DJ3 and gmubrian like this.
@gmubrian for what its worth- I was at an alumni meet and greet, and Dr Washington was asked about his views on athletics. It was asked by someone that I believe was on the Patriot Club board.
Anyway, he referenced his love of basketball, 2006 (of course), and that he would be an "ally to athletics" and "strong supporter".
What that means? Beats me. What that means today? Beats me.
But I didn't get any sort of initial vibe of "side door" or "academics is priority over athletics" commentary.

I'm glad you got a response. I'm guessing my email was lost in the shuffle or tl;dr. Perhaps I need to send more of a short and sweet email next time to get a response.
For everyone opining about how Paulsen's buyout isn't that much, do you have actual insight into the financial state of the Athletic Department? I don't but I assume we're reeling like most smaller schools. There was a record low in coaching turnover at the end of last season because everyone's tightening belts.
I think there's an argument to be made that a new hire excites the base and reels in more money, but that's based on forecasting whereas the $200k buyout is real dollars. With still so much uncertainty around the state of college athletics "we can't afford the buyout" still seems reasonable to me.

I have no data to back it up, but have been basing my views on the fact that Mason has historically relied less on donations/ticket sales to fund athletics because we have such a lousy attendance and donor base — we have to be taking way less of a hit than schools like Dayton and VCU that are used to selling out every game and being able to require big donations for prime seats.
As long as enrollment doesn't crater and cause a crash in student fee revenue, I would think Mason could cover a $200,000 buyout.
As I've stated previously, barring a total collapse, I don't believe that Coach Paulsen will be fired after this season. And, I believe that it is unlikely Brad Edwards will become AD at his alma mater - https://gamecocksonline.com/staff-directory/ray-tanner/206:
"The influential University of South Carolina trustee linked to an alleged shadow campaign to recruit a new athletics director at the embattled institution went on the record this week decisively disavowing those rumors – and reaffirming his support for current athletics director Ray Tanner.
Eddie Floyd – an influential political kingmaker from Florence, S.C. – spoke with us this week in response to reports that he was part of an effort to lure former South Carolina football star Brad Edwards to Columbia, S.C. as the next Gamecock athletics director.
'I am probably the biggest supporter on the board of trustees of Ray Tanner,' Floyd told us this Friday."

I know a lot of local places are hurting and I know the A10 recently gave each member school 100k to help with revenue loss...
But thats all I know and I'm too lazy to find out more.
But...good question.
CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY, Jan 13, 2021 at 12:44 PM
If you don't fire Paulson at the end of this year you have to extend him ........that cost alone is not worth it and more detrimental than firing him this year.
I guess the only way to reduce the cost would be to have him sign a 3-year extension with a zero buyout clause but who would sign that.... no agent would tell their client to sign that.

gmujim92 and mkaufman1 like this.
You could also take a look at Kevin McNamee's Twitter feed arguing AD finances and disagreeing with all the doom and gloom and the elimination of sports because of revenue loss.
And yes, comparing VCU to GMU ticket revenue, VCU made $2.6 million in ticket sales in 2019 compared to Mason's $876,000; Donations: VCU $4.6 million versus Mason's $867,000. If you want to look at other schools: URI $1.5 million in ticket sales, $1.6 million in donations. UMass $1.5 million in ticket sales; $2.5 million in donations. Pinning down private schools would be hard. But a far larger share of our budget comes from student fees relative to VCU, URI, or UMass.
And further, if you hire an up and coming assistant coach, you're probably going to be around a net 0 in salary difference even given Paulsen's buyout, because you aren't going to pay an unproven coach the same as a proven coach (referencing Archie Miller for Dayton again, whose initial salary was around $400k -- Dayton being Miller's first head coaching gig). Yes, we won't be able to pay someone $1 million to come here, but we don't have to look at those candidates. So, even if you use another search firm, you can come to them with a list of assistant coaches you are interested in and say we want you to vet these guys (if Mason wants to pretend they are big-time and only look at coaches with experience a la TOC post-Larranaga, that's on them and fine and good, but even then that shouldn't stop them from pulling the plug).
gmujim92 and sleeperpick like this.
I understand the lame duck argument, but why do you "have to " extend him? The lame duck argument only really applies if you have hope/expectations that the coach will turn it around. Yes, he will be impacted on the recruitment front, but, how much can it really hurt that from where it is now? Also, it helps to ensure he does it do a miracle turn around in his last year if you plan on letting him go at the end of the contract.
Again, I don't disagree that he should go, I am just pointing out people may be thinking about it too much from a purely winning basketball games point of view.

Well, think about it this way: we averaged about 5,000 fans a game in 2014 (our first year in the A-10). We haven't cracked 4,500 since then. In 2020, we have fewer people attend Mason games than we did in 2014 despite playing 2 more home games. I wouldn't be surprised if we dipped below 4,000 fans per game in 2021 IF Paulsen were retained (we were at 4,037 in 2020), thereby depressing attendance numbers even further.
Conversely, in Paul Hewitt's second year, we averaged 5,164 fans per game (I won't do year one, because people were obviously higher on the program still after the 2010-2011 season), given 17 home games that's 87,788 tickets sold versus 68,634 (given a face value of $25 a ticket that's $478,850 more in ticket revenue alone). So if we want to talk about financial risk and what's the harm in bringing back a coach who will not excite the fan base, there you go.
Right now we are legally limited to 250 tickets. Odds are that goes up, but no guarantee.


Quite understandably, we avoid feelings of anxiety. We can even get anxious about getting anxious. But right levels of anxiety are essential in facing challenging tasks. There is a bell curve to anxiety. Optimum levels of anxiety, at the top of the bell curve, motivate, focus and energize us. They leave us primed, revved, and ready to act on demanding tasks.
On the other hand, high levels of anxiety, on the right-hand tail of the curve, are overwhelming and debilitating to our focus. Heart racing and pulse pounding, along with possible difficulty breathing and an intensely shaky feeling that threatens embarrassing and/or dangerous loss of control, we are panicking and may feel like we're going to die. Because the symptoms of high anxiety are alarming and mimic serious medical problems, people suffering from high anxiety often go to the ER; and, in fact, with severe anxiety, you need to have the symptoms checked out by a medical doctor. It's not until you've ruled out underlying medical problems that you can be sure it's an anxiety problem.
But, on the left-hand tail of the curve, too little anxiety is also a problem. With too little anxiety, we're lackadaisical. We lack a sense of urgency. The under-anxious person is often accused of being lazy or irresponsible. Nothing matters. Appearing unmotivated, he can't mobilize the energy to stay on-task and get projects done.
People who suffer from high anxiety suffer markedly. But so do under-anxious people. In fact, under-anxious people are often people who secretly suffer high anxiety. It may look like this.
Some people go from low anxiety to panic very quickly. They never experience the helpful levels of anxiety. Rather, any hint of anxiety escalates into unbearable and incapacitating anxiety. Their experience of anxiety is all-or-nothing. If they feel anxious, it's automatically a huge, overpowering anxiety.
Thus dreading the panic that quickly and inevitably follows that first sign of anxiety, under-anxious people trade in the benefits of "good" anxiety for a desperately sought, artificial calm. They become absorbed in dealing with their anxiety rather than dealing with the task that's triggering the anxiety. They procrastinate. Then, finally facing the task when it's too late, they feel a realistic panic which unfortunately reinforces the whole idea that challenging tasks cause panic and are to be avoided.
What to do to break this cycle?! Once underlying medical causes to the anxiety have been ruled out, a two-prong approach to therapy can be pivotal in mastering the anxiety. First, it's crucial to learn increased awareness of your body, its sensations, and what the first rumbles of anxiety feel like as well as how to sustain those smaller doses of anxiety without having them automatically surge into overwhelming anxiety. This type of body awareness is the special domain of somatic experiencing therapists who know how to teach you to listen to your body, recognize and be at home with different levels of anxiety, and learn techniques for soothing your anxiety so that you can nurture and sustain optimum levels of anxiety.
The second prong involves enhancing self-esteem through a depth psychotherapy that invites exploring past experiences that have left you feeling "one-down" or not good enough. Such feelings of low self-esteem can leave us easily overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. Convinced we're not good enough, we're easily daunted and don't feel "up to" new tasks. Because these feelings of inadequacy are deeply rooted (in the limbic center of our brain, our so-called "emotional brain"), we can't just talk ourselves out of them. We may not even think about these memories. Nevertheless, these memories can haunt us compellingly through feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Depth psychotherapy gently invites us to remember these buried memories so that they can be finally faced and put to rest. Addressing painful memories and past trauma can allow a more robust sense of self to emerge so that we are no longer so anxious and intimidated before life and its tasks.

Q: Can we use the new BottomNavigationBar as a temporary snackbar? I know the Snackbar is "upcoming," but in the mean time, is it safe to use BottomNavigationBar?

A: I wouldn't use the BottomNavigationBar, now BottomTabBar, as a Snackbar because it doesn't offer the proper layout you would be looking for. I added an example project in development -> Programmatic called ControlView that will show you how to use the ControlView class to create a Snackbar. Btw, a ControlView is a parent class for the SearchBar and Toolbar, and will be the basis of what the Snackbar will be created from. Here is the UIViewController code.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
/// Reference for ControlView.
private var controlView: ControlView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    prepareView()
    prepareControlView()
}

/// General preparation statements.
private func prepareView() {
    view.backgroundColor = MaterialColor.white
}

/// Prepares the controlView
private func prepareControlView() {
    controlView = ControlView(frame: CGRectMake(0, view.bounds.height - 56, view.bounds.width, 56))

    // Undo button.
    let undoButton: FlatButton = FlatButton()
    undoButton.pulseScale = false
    undoButton.pulseColor = MaterialColor.white
    undoButton.setTitle("UNDO", forState: .Normal)
    undoButton.setTitleColor(MaterialColor.teal.accent1, forState: .Normal)

    let label: UILabel = UILabel()
    label.text = "Archived"
    label.textColor = MaterialColor.white

    controlView.backgroundColor = MaterialColor.grey.darken4
    controlView.contentView.addSubview(label)
    controlView.rightControls = [undoButton]
    controlView.contentInsetPreset = .WideRectangle3

    view.addSubview(controlView)
    controlView.contentView.grid.views = [label]
}

Currently, controversial Englishman Richard Pybus occupies the role as interim coach but Sir Hilary argued that the May 30 to July 14 showpiece in England was a "global project" and therefore presented an ideal opportunity for Cricket West Indies to create the basis for a "Caribbean coaching system".
"If I have a choice of building up a cadre of West Indian coaches in the context of a World Cup, which is a global project and which is going to bring sustainability into the coaching culture of the Caribbean, that to me seems to be a no-brainer to compare with a person who is likely to use that moment simply for career advancement," Sir Hilary said this week.
Pybus was controversially appointed last January to replace Australian Stuart Law, who led the Windies for two years before quitting to join English County Middlesex.
Pybus was expected to oversee the squad until September when a permanent head coach was hired but Sir Hilary pointed out that the World Cup was of such importance, it needed to be utilised strategically to kickstart the process of developing indigenous coaches.
I have been calling for Gordon Greenidge to be the WI Coach for eons now. CWI should get rid of BYPUS ASAP. Greenidge will be perfect in helping the batsmen with their technical skills.
As I see it, Lara will be appointed special advisor to the batting staff.
Get the best coach you can.
@J&S, I notice you "deliberately" leave out WEST INDIAN from you Coach list.
Why didn't Beckles talk when Cameron was there …and when Cameron favored the Bajans by letting them control the game on the field. Hypocrites like Beckles must shut up.
He is getting ready to start criticizing the new administration. All a long, foreign coaches were ok to Beckles. Just last year he was saying, the team now turned the corner. When Ambrose and Simmons who won t20 titles were fired, in favour of Australian, and British, south African coaches and propped up by his fellow Bajans, Beckles was a happy man. Today, a week since the fall of Cameron, he now has a sudden awakening. People, Beckles is a fraud. He us sending that the new administration is going to dismantle the Bajan control, so he is staking out grounds for criticism. He was silent when Simmons and Ambrise were dismissed. He is just masquerading.
You again? You screwed up West Indies cricket in 2009 and now want to do the same again,m you really believe that Bajans have a short memory!
MR. SKERRITT IMMEDIATELY MADE IT CLEAR HE WANTED TO PUSH "HOME-GROWN" COACHING TALENT RATHER THAN LOOKING OVER SEAS.
WE ALSO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE A CARIBBEAN SUPPORT TEAM AROUND THEM.
@Roger – "Criminal" is so correct. And a greasy hypocrite too.
