FAQs About the National Archives Records: Additional Documents: President John F. Kennedy's Assassination Records
According to the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act, all records previously withheld either in part or in full should be released on October 26, 2017, unless authorized for further withholding by the President of the United States. The 2017 date derives directly from the law that states: Each assassination record shall be publicly disclosed in full, and available in the Collection no later than the date that is 25 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, unless the President certifies, as required by this Act, that – (i) continued postponement is made necessary by an identifiable harm to military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement or conduct of foreign relations; and (ii) the identifiable harm is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure. more »
The Movie Star and Me or Beauty and The Geek
Rose Madeline Mula writes: The woman on that screen would one day become my friend — we would correspond, chat on the phone, and even visit each other's homes. The glamorous Joan Fontaine of Hollywood, California, did meet and befriend the shrinking violet from Waltham, Massachusetts. Both events occurred many years after that day in 1940 when Rebecca captured my soul and took up permanent residence there as my favorite movie of all time. Surprisingly, it is the least loved work of its beautiful star, even though it had won her an Oscar nomination. more »
Improving People's Relationships with Technology and With Fellow Humans
"Our primary interest was really in the patterns of people's answers to these questions," Kara Weisman said. "So, when a certain person thought a robot could think or remember things, what else did they think it was capable of doing? By looking at the patterns in people's responses to these questions, we could infer the underlying, conceptual structure." Those patterns resulted in three main clusters of mental capacities: body (physiological sensations, like hunger and pain), heart (social-emotional abilities, like guilt and pride) and mind (perceptual and cognitive abilities, like memory and vision). more »
A Pew Research Center Report: Wide Partisan Gaps in US Over How Far the Country Has Come on Gender Equality
Americans across demographic and partisan groups agree that women should have equal rights with men. About eight-in-ten Americans (82%) say it is very important for women to have equal rights with men in our country, and another 14% say this is somewhat important. Just 4% of Americans say gender equality is not too or not at all important. Asked whether the country has gone too far, not gone far enough or been about right when it comes to giving women equal rights with men, half of the public says the country still has work to do, while 39% say things are about where they should be; one-in-ten Americans believe the country has gone too far in giving women equal rights with men. These views differ by gender, education and, most of all, partisanship. more »


Each season the Fellowship of the Wheel Trail Crew leads many Volunteer Trail Days, which are generally offered to the public on weeknight evenings and Saturday mornings in the Spring and early Summer. Trail Days allow you to support the trails in a non-financial, grassroots way. View our Calendar for a listing of current opportunities to get your hands dirty. If you are interested in scheduling a group of volunteers for a trail day that is not on our calendar, eg. with co-workers or for a project we are working on later in the season, please email us info@fotwheel.org.
Trail Days are informative, educational, and productive. Projects are focused on most aspects of professional trail construction; rough clearing, benching, rock armoring, and building bridges. Each project has tasks for volunteers of all backgrounds and skill levels.
A typical day lasts about three hours and usually includes drinks and a snack afterward. Fellowship of the Wheel provides all of the appropriate tools, although you may bring your own as well. Hiking boots, pants, work gloves, and water are recommended.
For 2019, there will be a number of opportunities to support the trails through attendance of Volunteer Trail Days. The FOTW Pro Trail Crew will be leading a variety of large projects from Saxon Hill to Carse Hills. Fellowship of the Wheel has received funding through grants from organizations like VMBA to help complete these sustainable trail upgrades, but largely depends on membership dues and corporate sponsorships to keep our Pro Trail Crew humming. Additionally, we hope to see you at Volunteer Trail Days to help us make the most popular trails in Chittenden County even better.
Join us for a Trail Day at your favorite trail network this summer.

Q: Schedule a blog post (not Blogger, not WordPress) I have been searching online for a tutorial but I guess we can say that search engines are "polluted" with WordPress and Blogger.
Here is my problem:
I followed this tutorial and it went quite well, everything works as I wanted. But now I would like to have a function where the admin (that is writing a new blog entry) has the option to decide when is the blog entry going to be on-line (hh/dd/yy).
Does anyone know of a tutorial, demo, tips, whatever that can help?
I know I could use Blogger or WordPress, but I don't want to. This would have the additional purpose of learning some more PHP.

A: I looked at the "Build a Blog" articles. It seems to me that you do not need to change very much. Here is some kind of recipe / hint / suggestion :
Part 1 - "create your database"
Change the "whole script" to
$sql = "CREATE TABLE php_blog (
  id int(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  timestamp int(20) NOT NULL,
  title varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  entry longtext NOT NULL,
  published date, <--- this is the change
  PRIMARY KEY  (id)
)";

Use a tool like PHPMyadmin if you want to alter an existing table.
Part 2 - "post to your db"
Add this inside <form> :
<input type="text" name="published" id="published" value="" />

Part 2b - "post to your db"
Inside if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { add
$published = $_POST['published'];

Additional, right after - if the user has not entered a publish-date, that must be in the form m/d/y :
if ($published=='') $published = date("m/d/Y");

Change the SQL :
$sql = "INSERT INTO php_blog (timestamp,title,entry,published) VALUES ('$timestamp','$title','$entry','$published')";

Part 3 - "display entries"
Change the SQL
$sql = "SELECT * FROM php_blog WHERE id='$id' and published<CURRENT_TIMESTAMP LIMIT 1";

NOTE : Completely untested!
This is only to point to a start / give a kind of recipe.
The "Build a Blog" system is very, very simple, so I think its pretty much that. If you get it to work, you will need more coding regarding the next chapters, but I hope it could be a starting point. I like the idea of people trying to make their own tool themselves, and in the process learn how to do it. Much better.
If you started with a blog system like WordPress, you would just meet another kind of problems - most likely even more frustrating. It is better to have control, rather than waste the time to correct other people's coding mistakes.

Project 1v1 E3 Impressions
by Noe Ponce
@@Inohe
Gearbox's secretive shooter, code-named Project 1v1, finally made its appearance during E3 this year. But only just. The game, which turned out to be a card-based arena shooter, was surprisingly very playable despite its pre-alpha classification. Many of the features and elements, however, we're still heavily under development. In fact, almost every inquiry I made regarding the gameplay or the client itself earned me the same, empty responses…they're not sure if they're going to keep X feature. It's too soon to reveal any information about Y. They don't know what they're going to do about Z gameplay element. Even the two screenshots I was given, beautiful as they are, prompt more questions than answers. It was still fun though!
With practically everything other than gameplay under development, I went into Project 1v1 cold and unsure of what to expect. I first selected one of three characters, all of which were purely cosmetic and had zero impact on gameplay (for now at least), and then chose my loadout. Here's where things got interesting. Contrary to other card-based arena games where characters have specific weapons and abilities (Paladins, Paragon, Battlerite), players in Project 1v1 choose their avatar's entire kit. Each loadout contains two slots for weapons and three slots for abilities. And boy were there a lot of cards to choose from.
On the weapons front, I saw cards labeled Detonator, Bit Blaster, Shotgun, Railgun, and something simply named "Rocket." There were way more ability cards, however; seemingly something for every occasion or playstyle. I made sure to write down some of my favorites. Shadow Step and Human Flame are useful for stealth and mobility respectively. For damage, you have Meteor and Excalibur (both of which were terrifying to behold). There was a defensive ability called Energy Barrier and two utility focused skills, Recall and Phase Reverse. For those savvy in Overwatch, Recall acts just like Sombra's "Translocator" and Phase Reverse is essentially Tracer's "Recall."
Combat was fluid but not terribly fast-paced. The matches took place on one of four different stages, with each location having its own unique layout and environmental hazard. One such hazard was simply a giant pit of doom. Once the match started it was a race to see who could kill who first in a best of 5 series. Something that definitely mixed things up, however, was the fact you had to charge up many of the abilities before using them. Throughout each map, which weren't terribly large, little card tokens spawned periodically. Picking these up charged your abilities and reduced their cooldown time. Some of the "cheaper" skills don't need to be charged and are usable right away. They still go on a short cooldown upon use, however. Meanwhile, the deadlier, more impressive abilities needed a few card tokens first before they could be activated.
Pre-alpha or not, it's easy to tell that Gearbox is on to something here. Project 1v1 has the bones for something great and is definitely a game worth keeping an eye on. It's not Borderlands 3 however, nor does it feel like Battleborne. Project 1v1 is its own beast and I wouldn't have it any other way. To stay up to date with all things Project 1v1, check it's official website and sign-up for its mailing list. And do it soon. For while they didn't say when it would happen, Gearbox mentioned the next step in 1v1's development is to put together a closed Alpha for the PC. You won't want to miss it.

« Hull v Arsenal, Saturday 17 September 2016. The Match Officials
#CurseTheStar #CurseJackWilson. It is time for fans to fight back. »
Post-Truth football: the 20 myths they want you to believe but which are absolutely not true.
Over their past two editions both New Scientist and the Economist (two of the most respected and serious weekly magazines published in the UK) have both run editorial comments on the fact that we are now in the era of Post-Truth.
In the era of Truth, the truth was the fundamental from which those (most notably politicians and journalists) who wanted to mislead us, would wander in order to make a point. Truth was known because it could be proven – because we had data, logical construction of argument, the scientific method and evidence.
Now we are in Post-Truth, the era in which the populace in general has caught onto what used to be the preserve of politicians and journalists. Worse, in all discussion it has become a starting point. Make up a statement, say it a lot, claim it is true. Evidence, data, logical construction, who needs them?
Of course we have always had rumour, fairy stories and make-believe but generally in the past these were kept well out of the way when debating more serious matters.
So what made all this change? Quite simply the dramatic growth of the news media and its need for cheaper, simpler sensational stories, and the advent of social media, where anyone can play the post-truth game. Make it up, say it is true, and wouldn't you know it, people start to believe you.
Football of course has been swamped with post-truth illogic for a number of years, and in publishing Untold I've tried to show this with little ventures like the Transfer Index (collecting over 100 transfer rumours about Arsenal in one window which were all just fantasy).
What we found was that while stories that have been untrue in the past come back for another round, others just play with the language deliberately to mislead. I keep banging on and on about Amy Lawrence's comment about Arsenal being so poor they only had two players who scored in double figures last season, not just because it misled (Arsenal were among only five clubs who had two players in double figures) but because it was Amy Lawrence and in the Guardian. I had hoped they they would stay out of this drift. Sadly no.
To fight the battle I started to call those propagating the myths that swirl in the post-truth era the AAA (until Blacksheep suggested the capitalisation gave them too much prominence and we changed it to the aaa). Sir Hardly Anyone made fun of the transfer market, Dr Billy the Dog pointed to the misuse of journalism and logic and Brickfield Gunners regularly shows us that the old notion that there are three physical dimensions is simply a fallacy of number theory.
But we have failed to stop the march towards insanity in football – for what we now need is to find a phrase to mean post-insanity which does not reflect an era of waking up to reality, but an era of diving ever deeper. Post-modernism is dead, welcome to Post-Truth. (Hell we even recruited the Witchfinder General (Matthew Hopkins back from his grave – he died in 1647) to have a poke: #CurseTheStar #CurseJackWilson).
So whould we just leave them to get on with it, to make up stories and innuendo? I think not.
In psychology there is a term called "identity fusion" – something that brings and holds together members of gangs and other groups. It is something so powerful that it can make groups and organisations that are beaten and humiliated cling together even more than they did before.
It is something that Arsenal don't have, largely because the club has continued to have top four finishes for so long. There has been no relegation, which is the normal process following the building of a new stadium and which is a powerful source of "identity fusion". Instead we have what to me (biased as I am of course) looks and feels like the best – or at least one of the best – stadia in the League. I've been to most, and in many cases have been not just in the tucked away, away support section, but in the home bits too, as a guest of a supporter of the home club.
And much as I try to set aside my Arsenal support, the Ems still seems the best league ground there is.
OK, I moan about the catering, but to be fair catering is awful at all grounds. At Leicester for example, they had a range of beers available, so you could choose one, and they could deliver it, but when you got it, it turned out it wasn't the beer mentioned. They actually only had one beer, and all the taps delivered it. But they forgot to change the labels. Or tell customers. Then, on hearing our complaint, they tried to do staff training while the fans queued and waited… Not very clever, and a clear breach of the Sale of Goods Act, but it was an interesting adaption of post-truth. All beers are one even if not.
Anyway, we have quality at the Ems, except for the catering, and the leaking roof, and the fact that two guys openly smoking at the last game were not stopped by the stewards. Oh and the flares… but even with all this I state rate it. But as a result of the quality stadium and no relegation, we have lots of in-fighting and bickering because the identity fusion didn't kick in, because we didn't have real big problems.
As Martha Newson, at the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology, University of Oxford, pointed out recently when writing about football fans, "Our research suggests it is the intensity of emotion that counts, so their history of shared painful losses is as important as the joy of winning the league in creating "self-shaping" experiences. These experiences lead fans to fuse their own identity with that of their club and fellow supporters."
Thus "really negative experiences, such as humiliating relegations, are just as important as shared feelings of euphoria for producing this self-shaping mechanism." Co-author Professor Harvey Whitehouse, Director of the Institute, said: 'We find that deeply unpleasant, painful shared memories can strengthen ties rather than breaking them."
Thus we have the problem. Arsenal, by staying in the top four for so long, have never had a chance to experience the painful losses and humiliation that will bind Arsenal fans together in defiance of the rest of the world. Tottenham have it each time we sing "It happened again". West Ham have it with their relegation and the growing fiasco of their free stadium which (because everything was free) didn't have anyone organising arrangements properly.
So we find that two FA Cup wins and coming second in the league across three seasons is grounds for wanting the manager out and the creation of the endless post-truth myths. Such as…
That you can't move a player from one position to another with success. (Thierry Henry anyone?)
That Arsenal dither in the transfer market. (Granit?)
That there is no problem with refereeing. (Just read the thousands of reviews here).
That every other club is better run than Arsenal.
That the level of money spent in the transfer market is an indicator of how well you will do in the coming seasons.
That revolution in football is better than evolution even when looking at the average tenure and success rate of incoming managers.
That buying youngsters doesn't count – only spending big counts. (So it is right that players like Iwobi, Bellerin, Coquelin etc don't get included when transfer window sums are done.)
That a player who makes one mistake should never be played again. (Ospina v PSG?)
Because everyone else does it we have to do to (actually everyone else doesn't do it, but for the sake of the argument we pretend they do).
A new manager will automatically improve the situation because no one can be worse than this manager.
That anyone can see how to improve a club without having had any experience of running one, sometimes without even going to games.
That seeing one or two things and not analysing what is seen and looking for possible explanations is "evidence".
That buying a very expensive centre forward will make everything ok. (Only two players in double figures Amy Lawrence?)
That journalist commentators who have no experience of running a club at any level can have insights into the way a club is running which those experienced at working in the game don't have.
That if anything is of any value it can be said in one sentence. (Try that with entanglement!)
That we can tell what is going on in someone's mind even if they try to hide it. ("You obviously believe that…").
That criticising a club very strongly is actually going to make things better.
That if you want to buy a player in the transfer market of course you can get him irrespective of whether he wants to leave, whether he wants to come to Arsenal, whether the club that owns him wants him to go.)
That the actions of critics has no effect on how others see the club, and thus do not make it harder to buy players.
That all arguments lasting more than five words can be justifiably dismissed as "clever-clever", and as we have so often been asked, "Do we really need all these clever-clever arguments? Surely (these people say) the truth is obvious.
As they used to say on the X Files, the truth is out there. The trouble is, in the post-truth world, most people seem to be looking in the wrong direction.

34 comments to Post-Truth football: the 20 myths they want you to believe but which are absolutely not true.
Truth has been hijacked and replaced by the opinions of those who have some form of power or control.
What makes it so dangerous is that they do come to truly believe that THEY have THE truth.
I see you're Amy bashing again. Her comment about only two Arsenal players scoring in double figures was actually in support of Wenger's own criticism of our scoring rate, but you conveniently forget to include that part of the article.
Lekan gunner
oh number 1: not only henry: RVP, almost all commentattor including d berkamp said rvp should play in the hole(10). of course the fans all thot wenger was stupid that we had no striker. of course wenger took a gamble cos of his injury. but i dont know who does take a gamble.
other include toure( striker to defender, kos; striker to defender, other club: bale defender to striker; cahill of everton: midfilder to striker.
people who waven't nmagaged a big club for more than a year/season including roy keane always talking more than they know . but ask only one neville to run a club of valencia. he now knows how to talk less.
let me stae that u might have been a great player in your days that doesnt make u a good manager because u arent the one kicking the ball, u are managing people who are, u must try to think the way the player think to direct them not try to make them play the way u know how to play ( yes u may try to make them play the way u want them to play , but the first is best. ( bring out the best of who they are not try to make them to you.
i will rather have us oscillating between 2nd and 4th cos we are closer to first..the day we come first no one will guess it happen b4 the season, it may even be this season.
we have been
correction: line 3″ who doesnt take a gamble"
You were not considered a great or big club until you won the Holy Grail of European club football- the Champions League trophy , or the European Cup before that. And having won it your greatness is forever etched in the annals of history and your club WILL never , ever regress .
You club will always have a seat in the great table in the sky .
BEEB ! WRONG !!!!
Manchester United(1968 ) ,Nottingham Forrest (1979 & 1980 ) and Aston Villa(1982)have all been relegated .
( Former European Cup winners meet on Sunday and the Villa stalwart Brian Little believes his club can rise again -https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/sep/10/aston-villa-nottingham-forest-championship-brian-little . Bet there very few dry eyes at that game !)
Now I await hopefully for the day when Man Utd ( again !), Liverpool and Chelsea are relegated. Just to balance out my argument , you see !
Slightly OT, but the Economist also had a recent article on match-fixing in football.
If you can access it, it is here:

Good article Tony.
The basis on which I make my arguments in support of Arsenal and Arsene Wenger over these last, relatively difficult, dozen or so years, is in drawing a comparison between what we have achieved against what I, and this is a personal view, think we should of achieved, given the events that have occurred, and the circumstances that have changed over this period.
These are the absolutely key events over this period.
1-Arsenal committed to, and built a new training ground and medical complex.
2-Arsenal committed to and built a brand new state of the art stadium.
3-A combined investment of £500 Million plus.
4-Manchester United, through continued success on the football field and a Global Marketing strategy second to none rose to be the richest football club in the World.
5-Roman Abramovich arrived at Chelsea and invested £100's of Millions into the Club.
6-The Abu Dhabi United Group Investment and Development Limited arrived at Manchester City and invested £100's of Millions into the Club.
7-These are by far the most significant things to happen to any individual clubs over that period.
8-These events created an absolutely massive financial disparity between Arsenal, and what had now become, there 3 main rivals for trophies.
9-These events made it possible for Manchester Utd, Chelsea and Manchester City to massively out spend Arsenal in the transfer market.
10-This had the effect of making it, not only difficult for Arsenal to afford the top top players but to keep the ones they had.
As I see it those 10 points are irrefutable facts. If you do not agree fine, feel free to highlight the specific point and tell me what I have got wrong.
So taking into account all those points, from the almost one Billion pound disparity in available funds for transfers and the problems associated with that, to the sheer disruption that moving stadiums can and does cause, under what judgement should, indeed could, Arsenal and Wenger of been expected to match, let alone out perform any of those 3 clubs.
Given the situation that developed, and lets not forget the money arriving at Chelsea and City was totally unexpected, hanging on to there coat tails was the absolute best that anyone with a grasp of reality could expect. Not 'want', 'expect'. We all want to win something every year. That's different to 'expecting' it, even 'demanding' it, as some do.
None of this means that Arsenal and Wenger didn't make mistakes. From making poor buys, selling players too early, hanging on to players too long, getting tactics wrong.
But all these mistakes, and worse, are made by every single manager that has ever stood on the touch line, including Fergie, Mourinho and the rest. But even this has a caveat that it's much more understandable that mistakes are made when you are trying to find bargains, rough diamonds etc as Wenger often was, than when you are more often than not buying the finished article as was the Utd, City and Chelsea managers most of the time.
But this is the point, and the bit that relates the 'Post-truth myths'.
Ever since all these events, or 'truths' have taken place the media has ran a campaign of lies and misinformation, or 'Myths' about us.
Not least is the one that over looks the financial disparity between them and us as if it doesn't exist, and even if it did, that it makes no difference.
Well as I always said, if spending all that money made no difference why spend it ? Roman must love it that after pumping around a Billion pounds of personal wealth in to Chelsea he is told it made no difference and Chelsea could of actually done it all without him. Yeah right.
In my opinion and taking in to account all the immense challenges faced by Arsenal FC and Wenger in particular, finishing in the top four every year, a couple of Euro finals and a hat full of domestic finals was a very creditable return, given the circumstances. Of course we'd all of loved to of turned a couple more of those finals in to trophies but it wasn't to be.
One thing I do know is that despite everything we out performed every other Club, except the 3 mega rich ones, over the period, and that, despite many of them for a large proportion of that period, being able to spend more than us in the transfer market.
Liverpools domestic performance has frankly been lamentable over the period yet you would never believe it by the way they are endlessly lauded throughout the media. They obviously have the one saving grace of a CL trophy in the period, but still that should hardly of been enough to give them the immunity from criticism they so obviously enjoy.
Spurs. What can you say, except perhaps 'it's happened again'. Sums them up perfectly.
Can you imagine the shit Wenger would of got for Spurs pathetic capitulation at the end of last season. Nothing. In fact they felt sorry for them and as usual turned it around on us for having the temerity to enjoy the day.
Similarly Liverpools capitulation at Palace was passed over and seems to of been air brushed from history.
But this is how it works in the 'Mythical' World of the media.
Every day the 'truth' is ignored in favour of the 'myths' that allow Arsenal to be criticised.
In my practice nowadays , I have to re-educate my patients by telling them not to follow the(ill)advice of their uneducated /unqualified children , neighbours and friends . And my treatment consists of undoing the side and direct effects of their 'therapy '.
I tell then not to listen to those famous 'personalties' who peddle dangerous crap in the media , claiming it to be all natural ,healthy , traditional , herbal and organic . Instead I tell them to follow these people over a period of time and determine for themselves why most of them end up in end stage renal failure. Or looking like Jabba the Hutt !
I always ask them that if their vehicle were to have a problem , who would they first consult- a mechanic or their idiot nephew ?
Sobers them very fast !
Hmm, thanks for the 20 myths the football journalists and pundits want us to believe but are not necessarily the truths.
We have serious business on Saturday in Iru hands to start thinking about how we are going to handle it. I know you will come to the subject latter. But I want to 1st you come to it if you will allow me.
Arsenal will tame and caged 3 tigers tomorrow at the KC Stadium and bring them to the Emirates Stadium for us the Gooners to behold them.
Le Prof MUST make a strong game application starts and bench which SHOULD be technically and tactically superior to the game application starts and bench the new Hull City AFC will have on offer for this match tomorrow.
My starts:
Cech.
Bellerin Koscielny Mustafi Monreal.
Xhaka Cazorla.
Iwobi Ozil Perez.
Sanchez.
Bench: Ospina Debuchy Holding Gibbs Coquelin Oxchambo Giroud.
Can these my starts and bench be bettered? Let's wait to see the ones Le Prof will bring out on Saturday.

I am a great admirer of Arsene Wenger. I think he is the best manager Arsenal Football Club has ever had (and he is one of the best managers in the world).
I am not a qualified coach. I have never managed a football club. My only qualification to praise or criticise Arsenal or Arsene Wenger is the fact that I am a die-hard Arsenal fan. I am a lover of good football generally and that makes me love the Arsene Wenger type of football.
As a genuine fan of Arsenal and Arsene, I think our manager is right most of the time. I also don't hide it if I think my favorite manager or club are making a mistake (despite the fact that I know Arsene is more qualified and experienced then me on football matters). Arsene despite his greatness does make mistakes.
After 2 or 3 seasons of watching Nicolas Bentner I knew this fellow wasn't good enough for Arsenal. Unfortunately, Wenger kept flogging the dead horse.
After watching Almunia fluffing his lines, I quickly realised that Almunia was just a poor keeper. Wenger persevered with him and this cost us dearly.
This season, Wenger seems to be persevering with trying to use Sanchez as a central striker. This experiment doesn't seem to be working. I don't think Sanchez is good as a central striker, I think he is a brilliant winger.
Wenger is a brilliant manager but we as genuine fans shouldn't shy away from calling out his few weaknesses and errors.
I think the Arsenal hierarchy (Gazidis, Wenger, etc) are more likely to read Untold than Le Grove. We therefore should always tell the truth. If we are happy with the signing of Ozil, Sanchez, Elneny or Xhaka we should say it. If we are happy that our club is developing good young players such as Iwobi and Bellerine we should say it. And if we think, a club like Arsenal needed a proper striker to assist Giroud last season and the season before, we should have said it. And if we think that playing Sanchez as a striker instead of as a winger is not effective (and possibly costing us points), we should say it.
Untold is a facts-based forum but it is also a forum for constructive criticism and dialogue between Arsenal fans who want the best for Arsenal. Wenger himself admits that he makes mistakes. We therefore should never shy away from calling out a persistent mistake that he is making (eg. Nicolas Bendtner and Almunia).
We have serious business on Saturday on our hands to start thinking about how we are going to handle it. I know you will come to the subject latter. But I want to 1st you come to it if you will allow me.
Le Prof MUST make a strong game application starts and bench which SHOULD be technically and tactically superior to the game application starts and bench the new Hull City AFC manager will have on offer for this match tomorrow.
And elsewhere –
A flat-chested young lady read an article in a magazine that stated Dr.Bumbutu in Africa could enlarge your breast without surgery. So she decided to go to Dr. Bumbutu to see if he could help her.
Dr. Bumbutu advised her, " Every day after your shower, rub your chest and say, 'Scooby doobie doobies, I want bigger boobies!' "
She did this faithfully for several months, and to her utter amazement she grew a terrific D-cup rack!
One morning she was running late, got on the bus, and in a panic realized she had forgotten her morning ritual. Frightened she might lose her lovely boobs if she didn't recite the little rhyme, she stood right there in the middle aisle of the bus closed her eyes and said, " Scooby doobie doobies, I want bigger boobies."
A guy sitting nearby looked at her and asked " Are you a patient of Dr.Bumbutu's?"
" Yes I am.. How did you know?"
He winked and whispered, " Hickory dickory dock………."
Great stuff..
Regarding item 15:
The reason for this is because people take a sentiment, then come up with one word to describe that sentiment, and that is then peddled as the truth.
If you doubt this, read a dictionary 😉
Zuruvi, Sanchez has shown in the PSG match he has a powerful shot that can beat the goalkeeper when he is playing centrally. If Ozil and other Gunners can give him the assists correctly, he will bang in many decisive goals for us from the striker's position this season. Giroud despite his lack of pace is very good and he's an asset to Arsenal especially at heading in some goals for us. A 24 goals scorer for Arsenal last season cannot be discarded. His time to starts or come on as a super sub for Arsenal is still very much in place and will be coming for him as the season pans on. We've not seen much of Perez in action for us save for his cameo in our home match against Southampton. I've advocated for him to Le Prof to play him as a mid-left striker for us against Hull on Saturday. But I don't know if he will agree. Perez should come good from that position against Hull I am imagining.
Under the title" you can never second guess AW." These are points that I dont understand and feel that most would have done differently.
1.Why wait until the last week of the transfer period to do your business when you have proof that to do it early ( Xhaka ) you can get the player cheaper ( Mustifa could have been bought for less had AW done the buiness earlier }.
2.If a set of players fail so appaulingly in the first half of a game. Why would anyone think that that same combination will do any better to start the second half.
3.Why say to the fans and the media that the reason why we had a new stadium built was to increase Arsenal FC's revinue so that it will be able to compete with the big boys ( Man Who, City and Chelsky ) in purchasing blue chip players and once all the dust has settled and the stadium is as good paid for say, NO not really !
4. Why have Sanchez as a striker when it is clear that its not working.
5. Why have two natural strikers in your team that are fit and ready to perform in that position but choose to put a player not natural to that position there instead. And continue to do that.
6. Why have a defence that it appears are "technical" in ability but do not know the basics of defending.
7. Why have a library of videos on every footballing side that you could play against so as to know how they play, thus highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. But then do not set your team out to exploit those weaknesses.
Yes I am not a football manager and am only an Arsenal supporter but I would like to believe that I can learn from my mistakes of the past so as not to repeat them for the future. I can put my hand on my heart and say that I do not believe that is the case for our present Manager.
Do we say no CL wins in 20 years or domestic PLs in 12 constitute truth/s. Somehow think your hook examples were not quite referring to Arsenal amd your main point that the ground is a roaring success would seem to fall into the well trodden post this/that world. Poor catering does not sit well with a club who promote the foodie experience as much as the reason for the stadium's existence. Under the current regime this club is simply getting the press it merits. This site itself is merrily esconced in post truth with apparently millions visiting it and yet only a dozen at most actually posting. Perhaps a college paper on the delusional will balance things out.

Great article. Wenger is a true football coach. A rare breed. Arsenal is a true club. Sadly not all It's supporters.
Congratulations to the owner spreading light to the greatness of the Manager and the club.
engram, Rubbish!!
Catering and matchday experience could be better but what's worrying is section of supporters throwing abuses towards the great man.
20 years of consecutive CL football is unmatched. Only Real Madrid can challenge that record. Arsenal is a special team in CL. Longest participant in CL..

21 That one deranged 'supporter's' words can be taken and used to express the views of the many . What gives them the right to state opinion as if it comes the vast majority when it really comes from the very smallest minority.

A splendid response to a splendid article.

I don't think I'd be wrong if I say your prognosis is based on hindsight. We have no privy to Arsenal training methods or what Wenger see in players that makes him stick to them over a period of time.
Coming out to say now that Almunia or Bedtner were not good enough players after they've served and gone even if they were not premium players does disservice to them and is illogical on your part.
They, I believe, put in their best when they were with us even if it was not good enough and contributed in keeping us among the elite during the austerity years.
Just like a doctor knows knows more about the human anatomy than you do, a coach of Wenger's standing has much more knowledge of Arsenal players and football in general than you can ever muster. Your comment is a slap on his face and if you think you can do better, I believe there are still available spaces for a coaching badge.
goonersince72
@Jambug – couldn't agree more.
MickHazel
After a mere five games during which time Giroud has not been available due to his late return from summer tournament participation starting Sanchez as central striker in some, not all of them, was somewhat forced on Wenger so can hardly be described as 'persevering'.
When Perez is fully integrated into the team we will probably see him deployed in the striker role together with Giroud and the necessity to use Sanchez there will not arise, that is presumably why he was bought so let us not pass judgement just yet.
Right on the money as usual.

It is absolutely clear people want our team to return quickly to our scintilanting football wich makes every true Arsenal fan proud and joyous watching d team play games;undoubtedly dis has occassioned d seeming inpatience of many,however, we all must realise it takes sometime for teams to gel especially wen new players hve bin. Injected into d team. AW is presently experimenting wit combinations dat wuld work for d team to function effectively at maximum threashold hence d woblly nd fumbling matches we hve seen so far dis last 5 games; especially PSG game must hve given him some clear direction to go; AW is a real gem of a coach who undastands his job absolutely well, he knows wat. He wants nd how to get it; how many coaches can we point to who hve attempted half of wat he has achieved for Arsenal within. His period at the helms at d Arsenal in comprehensive terms on nd off d pitch or in d boardroom?I cannot point to any! Let us be patient nd support our team nd d manager wholeheartedly nd eschew unnecessary distracting criticisms whilst we lay our thoughts consrtuctively for consideration bcos I believe AW reads some blogs like UT ,Arseblog et al.very soon our boys will gel nd hit top form.shallom!
Good Riddance to Dumb Patients
I sent a reminder to a client that it was time to visit the eye doctor. He called back to inform me that he would not be coming in because, as he put it, "I have a new obstetrician.
( You'd be surprised how many on here that I would like to refer to a Gynecologist ! And them being men doesn't matter at all !)
My doctor took one look at my gut and refused to believe that I work out. So I listed the exercises I do every day: jump to conclusions, climb the walls, drag my heels, push my luck, make mountains out of molehills, bend over backward, run around in circles, put my foot in my mouth, go over the edge, and beat around the bush.

2) Supposotosis – where the iron in the blood turns to lead and settles in your ass, thus rendering your brain unusuable.
I was recently at my doctors for my annual checkup and met two of my neighbours there. We got talking about how retirement was treating us and one said that he was playing golf and gardening, the other said he was out fishing and camping alot. I said that I was doing research. They both were surprised as they thought I had retired as well but I told them that I was always searching for my glasses,car keys, the remote!

Herbs For Sexual Response
Claiming that not having sex in high school means that you were not attractive to the opposite sex is like claiming that attractive high school females are also unattractive to the opposite because many also choose to wait until college because they have restrictive parents or want to wait to have a serious relationship. The AVERAGE age to lose virginity in the U.S today(and you can google this) is roughly 17.4. That INCLUDES ghetto and low-income schools and those who will not end up in college. If you look at younger people,who come from at least middle-income families (I went to a private Christian school myself) who are college bound, the average is probably closer 18 or 19(i.E college age). The Universe wants us to be whole and wholly who we are. Some of these stories are born of pure fantasy while others are forged from the fires of real-life experience.
For me, wearing a pair of women's nylon panties under my male clothing is my secret while at work. A shame I would not feel if I were to broadcast the fact that I once printed out a picture of Gordon Freeman and stuck it on my bedroom door for a while - the polygonal guardian of my boy-cave. We do not know what he said or how aggressive he was about it because there are six surviving sources that record it, all contradictory in different ways and all recorded after the fact. Fast forward to six months later, where Tyler, Julie and Karen embark on a fiery second honeymoon to Europe to celebrate their new threeway marriage in spectacular, FFM fashion. Will their Menage a Troi be limited only to the honeymoon, or do Tyler and Julie want something even deeper? Karen's best friend Julie is sharing her honeymoon - and her husband Tyler - in every possible way. In this double-length final installment of the Threeway Honeymoon series, Julie, Karen, and Tyler embark on an explosive string of sexual adventures over their last few evenings in Bora Bora.
Follow the continuing adventures of this sizzling hot trio as they embark on a roller coaster ride through the English countryside, rock the walls of an ancient castle, screw their way through its hedge-maze, and end up in a sexy, naked tangle before a roaring fire. Their last day in paradise is filled with more love, more sex, and a seaplane ride that ends with induction into the Mile High Club. And what wedding night threesome isn't complete without toys, spankings, double penetration, and the some of the hottest roleplay ever to grace the beautiful turquoise waters of paradise? This is followed up by BDSM, bondage, domination, submission, and of course, the hottest threeway sex in all the world. It's followed up on a private island where the three lovers consummate their marriage vows to each other - and their new lives together - amidst a blanket-strewn, mountain top field, and beneath an ocean of shimmering stars. Bora Bora. What began as a threeway FFM tryst between friends and lovers has blossomed into a deep, meaningful relationship.
We broke up from that relationship and Darris came home one day and nudes website said he had ordered a sex doll. First, their two bride wedding night continues into the next morning, complete with even more amazing FFM threesome sex. Join this beautiful threesome as they continue their MFF adventures through the jungles of Bora Bora, a sexy massage at an incredible spa, and the fulfillment of every woman's ultimate fantasies on the bride and groom's king-sized marital bed. Endless possibilities. This MFF tale of fantasies fulfilled includes bisexual threesomes, outdoor sex, voyeurism, and the incredible building of momentum between a maid-of-honor, her gorgeous bride, and the luckiest groom on Earth. Endless possibilities. This FFM tale of fantasies fulfilled includes bisexual threesomes, outdoor sex, voyeurism, and Nudeswebsite.com the incredible building of momentum between a maid-of-honor, her gorgeous bride, and the luckiest groom on Earth. The threeway action grows even steamier between a handsome groom, his insatiable bride, and nudes website their no-longer-so-innocent maid of honor.
Even so, the focus here is on character-driver stories full of excitement, unexpected twists, and page-turning action. Being full of joy, enthusiastic and restful makes the heart stronger, whereas the opposite emotions of saddness and gloom weaken the heart. Why do people say that just because you never had sex in H.S, you were not attractive to the opposite gender in H.S? We had no problem when we first had sex at night but we were drunk. The newly discovered fossils of Microbrachius dickis, found in Estonia in 2013, show for the first time, clear evidence of unique male and female sexual organs, with males possessing claspers, and females developing fixed plates to lock the claspers in for mating. And those studies have revealed that already, its proportion of males to females is skewed. You have to get people to think that the idea to act was actually theirs. When we tried to have sex again in the morning it took me ages to get a boner, I associated this to porn and the psychological addiction to it. It's a shame we never got interactive sex scenes with close-ups on Geralt's humongous genitals (fuck SJWs and libtards who censor our video games).

The 2ndEARSeL SIG LU/LC and NASA LCLUC joint Workshop "Advancing horizons for land cover services entering the big data era" sets the questions towards and beyond the 2020 emerging challenges. The workshop will take place on 6-7 May 2016.
COMMISSION ON LAND USE/COVER CHANGE Newsletter 18, February 2016 with appendix.
Land Use Changes in the Czech Republic 1845 - 2010. Socio-Economic Driving Forces. Springer, 215 p.
Basic terms, including "land use" and "land cover" are defined. Land use patterns are seen as a result of long-term interaction between humans and natural environment. Practical applications of land use research are discussed, namely with regard to land management and policy and land use planning. Later, the history of land use in the world is outlined. Four scientists that contributed most to land use research in the past are mentioned. First, Johann Heinrich von Thünen, who formulated the intensity theory and theory of crop zones. Second, Karl Marx, author of the term "differential ground rent". Third, British geographer L. D. Stamp who is considered founder of modern land use research. Last, but not least, the Polish geographer J. Kostrowicki who focused on typology and classification of agricultural systems in the second half of the twentieth century. Current approaches in land use research in the world are also discussed. Special attention is given to the DPSIR model that works with "drivers" and "pressures", "impacts" and "responses". The multi-level explanatory scheme, formulated by Scottish geographer A. Mather, is seen as the most complex concept used in land use research so far. Mather worked with proximate, intermediate, and underlying factors and he is also the author of the "forest transition" concept. In Czechia, the first research projects focused on land use were carried out in the early 1960s. At the moment there are two main research directions: analyses of small areas, and complex land use studies carried out by the so-called "Prague school". The latter studies often span a long period of time, starting in late eighteenth century. Old maps are utilized for comparisons; recently also remote sensing data have become available.

Success storeys – Mr. Rizwan Sajan, Chairman DANUBE Group, Dubai
Posted on December 16, 2007 Updated on June 6, 2015
By Sandhya Rajayer GULF NEWS Published: December 13, 2007, 23:17
In 15 years, Rizwan Sajan has risen from a Dh1,500 per month job to spearhead a business that is worth $200,000. Sandhya Rajayer speaks to the chairman of Danube Group to learn of his definition of success.
A lot has changed about Dubai in the last 30 years. The vast sandy stretches have morphed into a Manhattan-like skyline, the corner grocery stores have turned into air-conditioned multi-brand format supermarkets, the city roads that once saw Cadillacs and camels crossing paths are now set to welcome the metro. But the one thing that remains unchanged is the power of this city to breathe life into dreams, to reveal to the human mind the shape and size of things to come even if at that time there is no evidence that
the dream will take shape in the way you want.
Rizwan Sajan was 28 when he came to Dubai in 1992 to take up a job in a hardware store on a salary of Dh1,500 per month. Barely 15 years from then he has propelled himself on the path to success with a speed and determination that is astonishing to record. Today he is Chairman, Danube Group, a $200,000 building material company that distributes over 10,000 products, has retail outlets in the UAE, Bahrain, Muscat and India, and three sourcing centres in China and employs 400 people. But all of this was not like a walk in the park. A part of it has been like a roller coaster ride, another stretch like a trial by fire. But through it all remained intact Rizwan's sheer grit.
This is his story:
Rizwan's father passed away in 1980 when he was 16 years old. As the eldest son he realised it was up to him to find ways to support his family. So he wrote to his uncle in Kuwait, who ran a building material business, saying he was looking for work and was there anything his uncle could offer him? The response was in the affirmative – but, wrote his uncle, he would have to wait for two years in order to reach the legal age to work. Rizwan interpreted the answer to be a tactic in polite evasion. So he squashed all hopes of going to Kuwait. Instead, he continued his studies and attended morning college for his commerce graduate degree at Somaiyya College in Vidyavihar (an eastern suburb of Mumbai, India) and worked part-time at Nathani Steel, a company also based in the same suburb, in the evenings.
And so it was that two years later, Rizwan was pleasantly surprised to receive a letter from his uncle in Kuwait enquiring if he was still interested in the job. Within a month, the job visa formalities were completed and he was on his way to a job in Kuwait. As he worked closely with his uncle, Rizwan began to understand the workings of the building material business inside out.
He was also sharp to build his personal assets, buy a car and over a span of 10 years, his reputation in the field turned rock solid.
He got married in 1987 and continued to work in Kuwait. But when the country was invaded by Saddam Hussain in August 1991, like several thousand other expats, Rizwan had to leave Kuwait overnight, and all that he had worked for and built up came to nought. He landed in Mumbai with about Rs150,000 in his pocket and felt as if he was back at the starting line.
Grasping at the tiniest straws of opportunity, Rizwan met up with a friend who owned a hardware business venture in Dubai. "I can still recall our meeting at the poolside restaurant (at Searock Hotel in Juhu, Mumbai) in vivid detail," he says. "My friend asked me what kind of money I had been earning in Kuwait. About Dh15,000, inclusive of salary and commissions, I replied. 'I can't even think of paying you that much,' he said. I wasn't even dreaming of asking for that much, I responded. He offered me a job with a salary of Dh3,000 plus a 25 per cent commission on the sales. What did I have to lose? I didn't have a job in hand anyway. I accepted the offer on the spot and he promised to send me the visa as soon as possible."
A month later, there was no sign of the offer turning into reality. So he called his friend in Dubai only to be told that his business was lax and he could not afford to pay the salary promised earlier. "How much can you pay me?" Rizwan asked him point blank. 'Dh1,500 plus 25 per cent commission,' came the reply. Perhaps, Rizwan thought, it was the kind of offer that was very easy to refuse, which was why it was being offered to him. But Rizwan was desperate. He accepted the offer immediately. His only request was that he be provided accommodation and food. Fortunately for Rizwan, by the time he landed in Dubai in March 1992, the situation in Kuwait was back to normal and people had started returning to work. This meant that Rizwan's business contacts were back in town as well and when word got round that he was in Dubai, they started placing orders with him for building material. Truckloads of cement, sanitary fittings, furniture .. all made their way from Rizwan's new workplace to Kuwait. The friend who had offered him Dh1,500 quickly hiked his pay to the original sum of Dh3,000. With additional commissions, Rizwan began to earn about Dh8-10,000 per month.
But the whims of Lady Luck are known to none. So it was that just as he was beginning to taste success once more, his contacts in Kuwait went back to doing direct imports. Rizwan's income stream started to dry up.
By this time Rizwan had fallen in love with Dubai. From the moment he had stepped off the plane, he had begun to feel at home. So he stood his ground in Dubai, convinced that it was worthwhile to hang in and keep trying. Eventually, it would all fall into place.
With exports to Kuwait having dried up, Rizwan was back to trading in small hardware. He realised that he had arrived at a crossroads as far as his career was concerned. He also realised that this was the moment to start thinking big. "So I suggested to my friend and employer that with my experience and contacts, we could expand the building material business and, say, trade in wood. This called for an investment of about a million dirhams. Not convinced about the returns on this risk, he refused.
"And thus it was that I parted ways with him," Rizwan recalls.
This was barely 10 months after Rizwan had started working in Dubai and he had in his account a sum of Dh88,000 or so. His wife, Samira, was in India waiting to join him as soon as his business stabilised. "I told myself that there were two ways of looking at my situation. I could join one of the big companies that could use my expertise in the building material business or I could put my savings to good use and start my own business. Hopefully it would work, but if it didn't, I would not have a problem getting a Dh5,000 job with a bigger company. Age was on my side, I was not even 30 at the time."
After some hard thinking, Rizwan decided to start his own company – an indenting company – buying from a supplier, selling to a buyer and earning a commission on the transaction. However he had not reckoned with the strong resistance of big buyers. "I had a hard time for the first six months. My savings of Dh88,000 went into setting up initial capital, an office, a car and the expenses of day-to-day living even as there was no income."
As luck would have it, Rizwan soon won the contract for supplying galvanised corrugated sheets to a company. His product was so good that it began to attract the attention of big traders who now agreed to buy from him. Things began to move slowly but steadily. To add momentum, Rizwan contacted some of his old supplier friends in Singapore and Romania. "I was frank with them. I told them that I did not have the money to pay for goods just yet but since they knew me, I hoped they would send me material on credit. I promised to pay as soon as the sale was concluded." His good reputation was his greatest alibi. And so his business began to expand. Soon it was on a roll.
Today Danube runs the gamut of interior and exterior building material – scaffolding, steel and cement, ceramic flooring, bathroom and sanitary fittings, paints, wallpapers, glass, door fittings … He has partnered with some of the best names in the industry such as Kingplex, Halspan, Spano, Astroflame, Dorma, Nobili and many more.
Danube is now a wholesale and retail building material company with about 10 outlets within the UAE, two each in Bahrain and Muscat and in India. It has three branches also in China which act as their sourcing office. Rizwan opted for China as he found that "the (Chinese) government encourages investment and pulls out all the stops to create a conducive climate for economic development."
(The reason for naming his company Danube Rizwan attributes to his many business trips to Romania. "I fell in love with the river Danube flowing through the country.")
Obviously, on a journey in search of success as long as this, there are many milestones. Rizwan recalls one particular incident with a person who is now his biggest competitor. "In the initial days (of setting up my business), I had been chasing this person for an appointment, requesting for just a few minutes of his time. Finally one day he agreed to see me at 3 pm. Those days I used to work a split shift from 8 am to 2pm and 4 pm to midnight. I would go home have my lunch and take a nap before getting back to work at four.
"So the 3 o'clock appointment was a bit difficult for me and obviously I couldn't request for a change in the time considering how difficult it had been to get an appointment in the first place! But I had dozed off in the afternoon for a bit and reached his office 10 minutes late. He just looked at his watch and said to me, 'You are late for the appointment, you'll have to take another one.' I had no choice but to begin chasing him all over again for an appointment and this time I made sure I reached on time. I learned a lot of things from him but I also learnt the importance of punctuality," Rizwan says.
Having enjoyed a ringside view of the building industry in Dubai for a long time, what does he have to say about the exponential growth of the industry? "I believe Dubai knows where it is headed. The growth is not temporary, it is here to stay."
Obviously the building industry means more than bricks and mortar. They need to offer solutions for beautiful interiors. Danube's House of Laminates in JAFZA, launched recently has plugged this gap. Customers usually walk in with the idea that laminates are old-fashioned and when they see the innovative designs and finishes on offer they are surprised into buying them.
"The challenge in the building industry today is to come up with innovations every day. The variety of wood, ebony, walnut, ash, for example, in place of the old staples of rose and teak are all customer driven.
"The average man does not settle for the ordinary, he wants something different even on a modest budget," says Rizwan. "Even bathroom fittings have been subject to this demand for innovation and if earlier we talked of only a bathtub, we now have shower cubicles in different designs. The same goes for modular kitchens and different finishes for doors. The variety is truly amazing."
The interiors of Rizwan and Samira's home in the Dubai Marina have been totally designed by Samira. "I haven't hammered in a single nail in my house,' Rizwan says. Is there a glimmer of pride? Looks like it in his smiling eyes.
"Samira has always given me the freedom to focus a 100 per cent on my business. She has tackled all domestic issues with utmost ease throughout our married life of 19 years. Even when I was travelling almost six months a year in the initial stages of setting up the business, she didn't mind it."
Then he amends his statement. "I think I should say, there was a bit of cribbing, but not much," he laughs.
Like all entrepreneurs who begin young did Rizwan too make a promise to himself that he would work hard and retire early? "I tell my wife this every morning," he laughs again. "In fact I would often say to her that I would retire at 40. That was four years ago. Now I think I should change that to 50!"
Danube has been a part of almost all reputed projects in Dubai beginning with the Burj Al Arab, Media City and Knowledge Village. Among the current mega projects are the Burj Dubai, Down Town Dubai, Jumeirah Islands, International City, The Palm …
Rizwan's definition of success in life is measured not by the savings in the bank account but the qualities that fill up an individual's heart. A good human being is a successful human being, according to him.
"A lot of people have a lot of money but not all of them have the respect of their fellow human beings. That I think is the true mark of success. I live by the creed of live and let live – give every person the freedom to reach his goal. And this applies to my sales staff too as they don't have to report on their daily sales calls. They have the freedom to chart their own course of action. Of course, if there is a shortfall in performance, we have to sit across the table and discuss how to change that." Ultimately, what matters in life, he says, is whether you made a difference or not.

The World Renewable Energy Congress 2017 (WREC) will be held at Murdoch University on Feb 5-9th 2017. It will be sharing ideas and presenting the latest research findings and discussions on new renewable energy science and technology. WREC will bring together representatives of those involved in the supply, distribution, consumption and development of sustainable energy sources. It will also enable policy makers, researchers, manufacturers, economists, financiers, sociologists, environmentalists and others to present their views in plenary and technical sessions and to participate in formal and informal discussions.
Garry Baverstock AM representing 'Innovate Australia' is an invited speaker and the title of his talk is "The Role of Thermal Storage as a Precursor to Battery Storage". Garry's talk is based on the use of thermal inertia in buildings and systems using water and using the heavy weight materials in buildings as a natural thermal energy storage mechanism. Garry states that in Western Australia, the cost per kWh for batteries is 2 – 3 times or more than the off peak rate charged at present. He poses the question, "What if energy storage cost nothing?". He goes on to say "By using thermal energy in buildings and in hot water tanks at night PV power collected in daylight hours can be used over 24 hours.
One can think of the grid like a large storage system but there are emissions associated with it as well as the cost of generation. Thermal inertia of buildings is not just for passive storage. It can also be used to store PV driven heat pumped or resistance generated thermal energy. Similarly, "the excellent thermal inertia properties of water can be used".
Garry's company, Solar E's recent PV innovations, utilise thermal energy storage. The economics of limiting battery storage to the operation of general power and lights at night will have large consumer benefits and to the environment. He concludes by saying, "There are many other ways in which 'mass-linking' can occur. It just needs some lateral thinking, good engineering and a spirit of innovation".
For nearly 20 years Solar E has been providing innovation ideas and recommended paradigm shifts in the design and use of thermal energy, especially in hot water systems and air conditioning while providing opportunities and projects for scientists and sustainable energy students at Curtin University to obtain Masters and Doctorate degrees. Baverstock and colleagues' PV innovations in WA utilise thermal energy storage. Garry feels the economics of limiting battery storage to the operation of general power and lights at night will have large consumer benefits and to the environment and as such, his talk at WREC will be a welcome addition to the invited experts who will speak on the future of sustainable energy sources.

srvmock
=======

A simple server mock

It is intended to be used when you don't have a backend communication, so that you can mock all servers responses in order to test the frontend work, validations, callback functions and so on.

**The API can be found at the lib folder**

###How to use it

You must first define schemas, like this:

```javascript
	var mySchema = {
		name: 'users',
		fields: [
			{name: 'id', type: 'number', size: 20},
			{name: 'name', type: 'string', size: 20}
		]
	};
```

And then you must register this schema in order to srvmock to generate content for you:

```javascript
	srvmock.setSchema(mySchema);
```

Finally, you can ask srvmock to return a list of data based on that schema:

```javascript
	/*
	This will give you an array with 12 dinamically generated users
	based on mySchema.

	*/
	var userList = srvmock.httpGet('users', 12);
```

If you don't pass the second argument, srvmock will only retrieve data from localStorage

How to persist data on localStorage, you ask:

```javascript
	//this will persist the object containing id = 111 and name = Willian
	//it will also return the id generated by zon API
	srvmock.httpPost('users', {id:111, name: 'Willian'});
```

Cricketer Chris Gayle takes break, goes fishing in Kerala
Kollam (Kerala), April 30 After setting the cricket pitch afire with batting pyrotechnics in the IPL, swashbuckling West Indian Chris Gayle is cooling down, literally. Enjoying a holiday with his family here, he preferred a wet pitch to test his talents -- fishing in the Kerala backwaters.However, he was not quite lucky with the fish as he has been with the runs, not netting many fish in the process. Evidently, luck is not on his side when he is on a new pitch altogether.Housed at a luxury hotel near here, Gayle is accompanied by his wife, daughter, and his mother-in-law.
👌🏿🔥
A post shared by KingGayle 👑 (@chrisgayle333) on Apr 29, 2018 at 2:18am PDT
A hotel official, while confirming to IANS that the big-hitting Jamaican was a guest, did not give out much details due to privacy issues."He checked in yesterday (Sunday) and will stay for the next few days. That's all I can tell you," said the official.On Monday, Gayle -- who is making news with his cricketing exploits with Kings XI Punjab -- along with his family went for a joyride on a boat in the backwaters.He is also attending yoga classes at the hotel, besides trying out the world famous ayurveda massages of Kerala.The swashbuckling southpaw is also trying out many Kerala dishes, feasting on pearl spot -- a fish found in the state's lakes.He is slated to return to the cricketing pitch on May 3, when he will fly to Indore to rejoin his IPL team that plays their next match on May 4 against the struggling Mumbai Indians.

Q: C++ & Allegro 4.2 - I need graphics to stretch in windowed mode I am using C++ with Allegro 4.2 to build a windows game.
I want stretchable graphics in windowed mode.
I'm am one who likes giving users of my programs lots of options; I always hate when I'm playing a game in windowed mode and I'm either not allowed to stretch the window or the content inside the window doesn't stretch with it (this sucks a lot for 640x480 size games played on high resolution screens that don't even allow for fullscreen; requiring a magnify tool to play it properly). I'm wondering if there is some way in Allegro or perhaps if there is another programming library that allows the graphics to stretch with the shape of the window itself. I already know how to have my Allegro applications switch to fullscreen mode; I'm trying to improve the windowed mode.
A big reason for this is because my artstyle is low-resolution art (I call it "Bitmap Brothers" style); it's very good for games since it's organized and easy to edit. I don't want to have to go higher than 640x480 to increase the size because it's far to high for low-resolution art, but my window remains too small during windowed mode.
I noticed that Allegro 5.0.8 has this line of code:
al_set_new_display_flags(ALLEGRO_WINDOWED | ALLEGRO_RESIZABLE);
At the end it says "ALLEGRO_RESIZABLE", could that be the feature I'm looking for? If so, just how much does Allegro change from 4.2 to 5+?

A: Allegro 4 doesn't support user-resizable windows.
Allegro 5 does (as you've noted), but it is completely rewritten and is not backward compatible at all. Still, I would highly recommend that you switch to it as development on Allegro 4 is all but dead.

Mouth Culture - 'These Days Mixtape'
Leicester-based outfit shine on stunning debut EP
Throughout the last few years, Leicester-based outfit Mouth Culture have been building and developing their sound with remarkable results. Despite only a string of singles to their name in recent months, the band have been able to rack up more than one million streams on Spotify, found support on BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio, and sold out their hometown headline show in under ten minutes. But now the group are crossing the first major milestone of their career so far by delivering their long-awaited debut EP 'These Days Mixtape', a five-track collection of their most impressive cuts to date.
From the very start, it is clear where the buzz for this group has been coming from. Channelling a mixture of euphoric indie-rock tropes with an energetic flair has given them an enticing direction that is impossible to ignore. Skirting the outer peripheries of alt-rock at times, 'These Days mixtape' makes for a captivating listen, with tracks like 'Honey' and 'These Days' serving as the pillar behind their sound. But they also showcase a more groove-laden direction on efforts such as 'Nobody Wants You', giving them this instantly eclectic vibe that adds depth and levity to their work.
Things may still be in their infancy for the five-piece, but 'These Days Mixtape' is a firm reminder that they are still very much on the rise right now. Most bands are lucky to pull off the odd anthem in their career, and these guys seem to have them in spades. An indication of very big things on the horizon.

True Leaf Welcomes First Brand Ambassadors
By Pet Business Staff
Creative director and choreographer Laurieann Gibson and her 12-year-old Pomeranian, Samson, are the first brand ambassadors for True Leaf.
"Laurieann Gibson is the perfect ambassador to join our Return the Love movement," said Darcy Bomford, founder and chief executive officer of True Leaf. "We are partnering with pet-loving influencers who are inspired by our Return the Love message, which is near and dear to the entire True Leaf team. Our hope is that pet parents will feel they are returning that special unconditional love they receive from their pet every day when they give their dog one of our products."
Gibson is a Canadian choreographer, director, television personality, singer, actress, and dancer. She has choreographed dance numbers for musical artists such as Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, and her work has been recognized by industry associations such as the Emmys and MTV Music Awards. This June, Gibson will serve as a judge for "So You Think You Can Dance" on FOX.
Gibson joined True Leaf to help educate pet parents on the benefits of hemp-based supplements for pets.
"Samson and I are thrilled to be the first-ever brand ambassadors for True Leaf Pet," said Gibson. "As a dancer for most my life, I've always focused on good nutrition and fitness and I want the same for my Samson. He loves True Leaf's Hip and Joint supplements, which help him keep up with me on our hikes and our trips to the beach. He has given me so much love over the years and I want to return the love to him and share the love with other dog parents."
In addition to educating pet parents on the benefits of hemp for pets, Gibson and Samson will visit animal shelters in the Los Angeles area to spread the Return the Love message and raise awareness for pet adoption.

Cuban ballet dancers help improve U.S.-Cuba relations

Updated December 18, 2014 at 8:02 PM
Changes in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and other nations often begin with cultural and educational exchanges.
In the 1970s, "Ping-pong diplomacy", or exchanges between U.S. and China's ping pong players paved the way for a thawing in relations. In Cuba, "ballet diplomacy" may have signaled Tuesday's announcement of improved relations between the United States and Cuba.
In November 2010, the American Ballet Theater performed in Cuba for the first time in 50 years, in a high-profile series of cultural exchanges. Over the years, Cuba has earned a well-deserved, international reputation as an incubator of talented ballet dancers.
Alicia Alonso, director and choreographer of the Cuban National Ballet, was born in Havana, and began studying dance in 1931. She made her professional debut in the United States in 1938. She later founded the Alicia Alonso Ballet Company, now the Cuban National Ballet in 1948. As director and leading figure in the company, she has been an inspiration and guide to a new generation of Cuban ballerinas who have won a distinguished place in world ballet. CCTV America's Michael Voss interviewed Alicia Alonso about her career, family, and what's in store for the future of Cuban ballet.

Watch Seb Black's new video for 'Go Out In Style'
By Bianca David Jul 3, 2013 Jul 3, 2013
The Emery Street Records crew have been busy since Seb Black's official album launch at the end of May. At the end of this month, fellow label mates Eddie Paul and Les Tavarneux will be releasing their new singles 'Dig Myself A Hole' and 'Musique la Juge' respectively. Seb Black just released a new video for his single 'Go Out In Style.' Get ready: badass dogs chewing on raw meat, lovely Burlesque dancers, a bathtub full of milk and FrootLoops, and a nice collection of taxidermied animals:
If you missed him in May, you can catch Seb Black perform August 24 at Divan Orange. In the meantime, here's a review of his last show:
Seb Black has more than just one trick up his sleeve. His signature smoky rasp is definitely the real deal but was by no means the only star of the show, which took place May 30 at a full-to-bursting Katacombes. The performance served to officially launch his new album 'On Emery Street' and the band obliged by playing the album in its entirety, with the exception of one song ('Lil' Boomer') from start to finish.
A piece of the atmosphere that Black and the Emery Street musicians have created back at their record label HQ follows them onto the stage. The show had a vibe reminiscent of an old-timey carnival mixed with a punk rock funhouse, all with just a touch of sophistication. Girls were dancing and guys were raucously singing along as Black's hideously mesmerizing stuffed monkey, used as a stage prop, gazed at the crowd from its perch.
Black is a great showman and his raw energy is contagious. Guitarist Eddie Paul, bassist Guillaume Besnier, drummer Marc-Antoine Sévégny, and keyboardist Matthew Shefler are all very talented musicians with their own distinct stage presence that compliment Black's charisma well.
The songs as they are performed live differ slightly from the recorded work. Many of the electronic elements present on a few of Black's songs ('On Emery Street' and 'The Rich Kids') were hard to pick up on live. The same goes for the brass sections on 'Got No Twist.'
Nonetheless, hearing the songs a little stripped down did not take away from their essence, style and spirit, which is really what makes Black's music so interesting in the first place. You could throw these guys on a street corner with homemade instruments and they would probably still sound good.
