Taking effect on July 12, all ATV riders in Kentucky under the age of 16 will be required to wear a helmet while operating an ATV. This is clearly an attack on the ATV riders freedom of choice. The choice of whether or not to wear a helmet is the riders own and should not be decided by the government. It is a personal choice wether to take safety precautions or not. Also, according to an article on the courier journal web sight, this is just the start. It states that safety experts are advising congress that what they need to do, is require that ATVs have a devise that limits their speed or make it illegal for any one under the age of 16 to operate an ATV and who is to say that they will stop there. If our government is truly ran by the people and for the people then they will not ignore us.
Please consider making a small donation today. This will allow us to keep Kentucky ATV Riders Freedom alive and available to a wide audience.

Hey my Five Favourites from the week.
And hi, you lovely lot. How was your week? It was such a quiet weekend and week for us really. The complete opposite to the one coming which we're all looking forward to. The weekend was so lovely in so many ways – slow days, quiet mornings together but it does mean that I am short of a silky image or two to share with you in this week's post.
On another note, I have decided to make some changes to my blog which I am really excited about. I feel like this little space of mine has taken more of a lifestyle direction over the last twelve months and with some help from a friend we are redesigning the blog, changing the name and quite literally giving this space a huge makeover. It won't happen until April when we are in Florida so for now it is business as usual.
Winter only really just arriving it is so lovely to see some small signs of Spring around. I mean, I love Winter. The frosts, cosy weekends and that winter sunshine but having a little bit of Spring in the house really has brightened up my week.
It was just George and I on Saturday afternoon. We grabbed a hot chocolate and Coffee from Starbucks and had a little wander around town. We went in search of some street art and loved what we found. We chatted and looked for clothes for our trip to Florida. It was a lovely, a really lovely afternoon. I love spending time just us. It takes me right back to my maternity leave days (I think I say this every time).
When life is so busy, allowing yourself to slow down, taking a moment to breathe, time out just for you is so important. Whether its breakfast in bed, reading a magazine, not getting dressed until Midday – it's all important for your well being.
Well, I'm all for slow starts and lazy mornings especially at this time of year. With the exception of briefly nipping out to an 8am circuit class both weekend mornings were just like that. Cosy. George welcomed the time to just sit and play, not getting dressed until midday is a real treat as usually mornings are so fast paced. There's something about these moments that I want to hold on to.
After the snow arrived on Friday evening I hadn't expected to leave the house on Saturday. But actually we woke to it all being rained away. I was disappointed for George who wanted to go sledging but delighted for me. It meant I could pick out an outfit. Weekends are always my favourite. I love going through my clothes rails and picking out an outfit. I guess with wearing my work style Monday to Friday it's a refreshing change.
Pink hair, don't care. Just before the Christmas break I decided to get my hairdresser to pop a pink toner on my hair and I am so glad that I did. I was meant to have it washed away but then decided on impulse to add a little more and I am so glad that I did. By the end of February it will all be gone so for now I am making the most of having fun with my hair colour.
I love your pink hair, it really suits you!
Very excited about your blog redesign and direction, can't wait to see what you come up with, I am sure I'll love it.


With further growth and the development of the company as a goal, Mark Lens decided in the beginning of 2015 to transfer the organisation IT Solutions to a most professional team.
In the end of June an agreement was reached with Alex Vandereycken and Peter Moerman to take over IT Solutions together with Frank Auwers.
Alex and Peter have both achieved a huge expertise in the world of Dynamics NAV in Belgium and beyond.
Both decided, being convinced of the enormous potential within IT Solutions, to focus themselves on a new story and will use the new name :"Scapta – IT Solutions".

Blog by Dr Luke Piggott at Wales Cancer Research Centre: Research and Innovation Report
Blog by Dr Luke Piggott
Last Thursday at the Science and Innovation conference I attended, Julie Williams (leader of the house and chief whip, Welsh Government) introduced a review of Government Funded Research and Innovation in Wales by Prof. Graeme Reid (released on the same day). I think this will be an important document for shaping Welsh policy and the Welsh Assembly has accepted the three main recommendations made by Prof. Reid in the review. These three recommendations are:
that the Welsh Government increases the visibility and influence of Welsh research by creating a new Welsh Research and Innovation London Office (WRILO).
that the Welsh Government strengthens the Welsh research base and enables Welsh researchers to attract a greater share of UK-wide funding by implementing Diamond's recommendation for QR funding and creating an additional Future of Wales Fund specifically to incentivise Welsh researchers to win funding from outside Wales.
that the Welsh Government increases the visibility, coherence and impact of research and innovation in Wales by creating a single overarching brand for its innovation activities: the St David's Investment Fund. This should be worth some £35m yearly in the first instance but with the potential to grow to £100m yearly or more, post-BrExit.
Additionally, it was made very clear by the UKRI and Innovate UK that they intend to favour "deprived economical areas" of which Wales fits the bill, for their investments over the next waves of funding calls. This is because they wish to fund innovation in areas where they are most likely to have economical and policy impact which is less likely in areas such as London. Again, I think we should be publicising these calls to encourage applications (these are industry collaboration bids). My new role at the Wales Cancer Research Centre is Translational Collaborations Manager. If members of the research community in Wales have ideas and wish to make industry contacts to pursue these calls I would be happy to help foster collaborations to do so. If you would like to discuss this further you can contact me on PiggottL@cardiff.ac.uk, or my colleague Rachel Savery on SaveryR@cardiff.ac.uk.

Tuning Options for G-Sharp OF-1
The G-Sharp OF-1 guitar developed from an idea during the time its creator, Øivin Fjeld, was an educator at the Music Instrument Academy in Norway. There, he acted as the main teacher for their guitar faculty, teaching students how to build a guitar.
Never one to be satisfied with the norm, he set out to build something unique. He built a short-scale guitar and once he tried the g# tuning, he came upon the sound he was looking for.
The Øivin Fjeld model, or OF-1 as it's been dubbed, is a small guitar with a scale length of 20.5" (530 mm) The neck-through guitar is made from solid mahogany with a fretboard of maple or rosewood. These features, combined with a single-coil pickup of Øivin's design, give this instrument a clean, warm tone.
At the request of Øivin's guitarist friends, he began a small production. What he did not expect was the great demand for them once the secret got out. The OF-1 model has been manufactured since 2005 and over 4,000 of them have made their way into the hands of happy guitarists around the world.
Øivin's simplistic approach to guitar design has received great responses from many well-known guitarists. Among them you will find the band A-Ha, Davey Johnstone (Elton John), Jarle Bernhoft, Johnny Winter, Roy Rogers, Tommy Emmanuel, Unni Wilhelmsen and many more.
Then, Øivin met Norwegian-turned-American businessman, Frank Pedersen, whom he knew from his youth. Frank was amazed with the guitars the moment he saw them and a deal was soon struck.
As of September 2014, the G-Sharp company had moved from Fredrikstad, Norway to its new home in Pleasanton, Kansas USA. Frank and his son, Alex, are very excited to take the reins of the company and to make these guitars more accessible to both the American market and the rest of the world.
As G-Sharp's new owners, we will work hard to keep the same high standard of quality and sense of pride the company is known for and to grow with new guitars and other products to come.
ØIVIN FJELD'S BIOGRAPHY
Born in Fredrikstad, Norway 1951
Øivin Fjeld have been a mainstay in the Norwegian music scene since the late '60s. He became the one to lean on to when technical problems arose, and his list of clients would eventually include many of the central figures within the Norwegian music scene, almost like a list of who's who.
Øivin has had a lifetime of working with guitars, electric as well as acoustic, as well as tube driven amplifiers, and analog electronics in general.
Øivin is a guitarist in his own right as well, and has shared many a stage with fellow musicians in Norway for many years.
He is usually found in his own workshop where he is the go to guy for guitar set-up and repair.

Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture - Make hay while the sun is shining!.
Linz09 leaves a rich legacy, as is amply documented by this final report. However, projects, experiences, public perceptions, networks and hopes need to be worked on continuously to make the gains that they represent last. This is by no means a challenge that only concerns the Culture Departments; what is needed is the will, the insight and the commitment of everyone concerned. What we have in mind here includes the continuation of specific Linz09 projects, ensuring a customer friendly ticketing service for all of Linz's cultural institutions and efforts to exploit marketing synergies in the area of cultural tourism. It is also highly desirable to continue to improve the quality that Linz09 has established in the service sector – for the benefit of Linzers and of the visitors, who will no doubt keep flocking to Linz in future.

Q: MacBook Pro 16 inch 2019 having kernel panics stating thunderbolt power on failed and now my USB-C Ports don't work unless I reboot My MacBook Pro 16 inch, manufactured in March 2020 - running Catalina 10.15.4, will reboot randomly at times, citing a kernel panic - the full log is listed below. Moreover, my USB-C ports don't work, for example, if I plug in my usb flash drive, my computer simply thinks nothing is plugged in. Only after having restarted the MacBook Pro   does it recognize the flash drive. This goes with anything connected to the MacBook including monitors. The kernel panic can also be replicated whenever I plug in and unplug USB devices from the USB-C ports, but this does not happen every time, only at some instances. I have already tried resetting NVRAM, SMC, reinstalling the OS, and enrolling in the beta program with no avail. I have also ran the APPLE Hardware Diagnostic Test and it said nothing was wrong with my computer.
Interestingly enough, I also use bootcamp with windows 10 pro, and have never had random restarts when using windows, this happens only on MacOS. Moreover, on windows, the USB-C ports work perfectly fine, always recognizing any peripherals connected to the ports. Windows 10 runs better on my MacBook Pro than MacOS does, and I find this upsetting and awkward.
Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Update: sent the unit Apple for a repair, they repaired it for free since it was covered under warranty. They replaced the logic board. My unit works fine now.

A: This sounds like a hardware fault, and you should return the laptop for repair.
It might be difficult during lockdown, but call Apple and ask them what the process is for returning the laptop.

A: I had the same issue. I noticed the panic would happen when the USB C wire was moved / wiggled.
I bought a 10ft Anker USB C to plug into the brick instead, and it seems no more panics in the last month.
So a quick fix for this might be to change out the USB C cable.

BroadbandNOW, Vesta Team for Video on Demand
High-speed Internet access provider BroadbandNOW partnered with Vesta Broadband Services, an Internet infrastructure company, to offer its customers an online alternative to renting movies at stores.
BroadbandNOW, Irving, TX, will add Vesta's NetMovies, an IP-based video-on-demand service, to its services and applications.
"We wanted a service that would enhance our current offerings," said Paul Buss, vice president of marketing at BroadbandNOW. "[Vesta's] movie player, along with their billing and rights management services, [compiles] a service that is entirely complementary to BroadbandNOW's network and offerings."
BroadbandNOW, www.bbnow.com, which will host the digital rights management and billing software from Vesta, has not announced plans to market the new service, Buss said.
Vesta, McKinney, TX, meanwhile, partners with a network of 10,000 nationwide customers to which it can deliver its service.
"There is definitely some synergy here," said Venky Adivi, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Vesta, which until this month was known as VideosDotCom. "We get an extremely reliable partner that has a network with the bandwidth and technology to offer broadband service to subscribers."
Adivi said the agreement also gives Vesta leverage to reach out to prospective customers and partners, such as Internet service providers, multiple dwelling units, hotels and residential subscribers, all of which are featured in BroadbandNOW's network.
Vesta — www.vestabroadband.com — is planning a grass-roots marketing campaign early next year, he said.
The service allows subscribers to rent or buy video and audio through their Internet access service. Vesta touts the NetMovies service as a stay-at-home alternative to renting movies from a video store and one that does not demand additional bandwidth.
The application is currently designed for personal computer delivery, but it is expected eventually to become available through a set-top box, Buss said.

Q: Vue pass slot template to extended component Is any way to pass a template to extended component? Example, that illustrates the problem:
There is a component named Slide with a template like so:
<template>

        <slot />

</template>

In other place i need to create and mount that component in imperative style:
import SlideComponent from '@/components/Slide'
const Slide = Vue.extend(SlideComponent);
new Slide().$mount('#container');

The problem is that i have no idea how to pass a template that will be compiled in the slot of the extended component.
jsfiddle

A: You can use Vue.compile combined with $createElement.
const slotTemplate = `<div><h4>This is the slot content</h4>{{message}}</div>`;
const renderer = Vue.compile(slotTemplate)
const slotContent = {
  data(){
    return {
      message: "some data in the slot"
    }
  },
  render: renderer.render,
  staticRenderFns: renderer.staticRenderFns
}

const instance = new Slide();
instance.$slots.default = [instance.$createElement(slotContent)];
instance.$mount("#container");

Above is an example of a slot that requires some data. If your slot content is just HTML you could get away with just this:
const slotTemplate = `<div><h4>This is the slot content</h4></div>`
const instance = new Slide();
instance.$slots.default = [instance.$createElement(Vue.compile(slotTemplate))];
instance.$mount("#container");

Here is an example.
Note: $slots[key] should be an array of vNodes. It will render correctly if you use a vNode, but there will be bugs (e.g. when calling vm._update)

A: If you are open to change your approach a little bit, a <component> instead of <slot>:
https://jsfiddle.net/jonataswalker/z5Lgbjv8/
const Parent = {
  template: `

        parent content
      <component :is="view"></component>

`,
  data() {
    return { view: '' }
  }
}

const Other = {
  template: `

from Other

`
}

const Slide = Vue.extend(Parent)

// how to pass template to the Parent`s slot?
new Slide({
  data: { view: Other }
}).$mount('#container')

A: (This question is similar to this SO question. I am just gonna share a similar answer I post for that question here.)
The trick is simple. Basically, when extending, create a new component that registers Parent as a local component.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/jacobgoh101/omjgmb3f/
const Slide = Vue.extend({
  components: {
    Parent
  },
  template: `
  <Parent>

I am a slot

  </Parent>
`
});
new Slide().$mount('#container')

A: If You can change Your source code structure,
You should also be able to use jsx.
In Vue-Cli3 it requires additional babel plugin, in Nuxt it works out of the box).
You simply create some hook function as method or compute, for example:
slotHook () {
  return(
  <template v-slot.../>
)}

and place it inside the render function.
Then, in the child (component extending the default one), You overwrite the slotHook method:
slotHook () {
  return (
    <template v-slot... some-differen-params:.../>
)}

This approach does not cause any errors/issues during render and works flawless.
Other approach  might be to use PUG templates and their block & extend functionality.
I know I'm posting this response quite late, but maybe it could help somebody.

A: You have to pass it like this:
<Slide>
   //HTML code here goes to slot
</Slide>

Physician: First Do No Harm..Profit is Secondary?
BY SearcyLaw
"Quid pro quo" happens in business all the time. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
Usually, the exchange is relatively even and the result doesn't really cause any harm to anyone… or at least any harm of real consequence.
But, give me a million dollars for my "quo" and your "quid" must be huge!
That is what is happening between doctors and medical device manufacturers. Both drug companies and medical device manufacturers have been playing this game for decades. Whether it is a case in which the doctor gets paid for putting their name on an article they did not write and supporting the latest, greatest drug or they are paid for "consulting fees" that result in the doctor's support of a particular new medical device. The result is the same – a respected name gets attached to the latest, greatest widget and sales rise.
The Chicago Tribune reports that "orthopedic surgeons have received hundreds of millions of dollars from joint implant manufacturers…" Yes. You read that correctly – hundreds with six 0's following them.
In 2007, device manufacturers were told they were going to be required to disclose payments made like this; so, since then the total amounts in tribute paid has dropped, while the amount of individual payments has gone up. So, manufacturers are simply being more selective in choosing "which" doctor and agreeable to paying a 40 % higher amount of "tribute" to each. The average payments per doctor have risen from $212,740 to $233,108; with some individual payments being as high as $1 million according to an analysis of statistics by Dr. Robert Steinbrook from Yale University School of Medicine.
Dr. Steinbrook notes that conflicts of interest continue as recently reported in The Spine Journal, in connection with a Medtronic clinical trial for recombinant bone morphogenetic protein:
"Financial information was available for 12 of the 13 original studies: "the median-known financial associations between the authors and Medtronic Inc were found to be approximately $12,000,000 to $16,000,000 per study (range, $560 000-$23 500 000). An editorial noted 'a rising, if not malignant, doubt about the spine field's ability to honestly assess and report on clinical practice and new technologies."
Only 4% of physicians ever are treated with these bonuses by medical device manufacturers; so is it really a problem?
The way your physician makes decisions about recommending drugs and medical devices is by reading about them in journals, going to conferences, and hearing about them from manufacturer sales representatives. The sales reps are a given that the information is slanted in favor of the manufacturer.
So, that leaves articles and conferences.
If the respected men and women in a given field are willing to receive payment for supporting a particular medical device or drug by making speeches at conferences or by talking to fellow physicians at them, then we are down to journal articles. We have already read the reports about articles being ghost written by marketing professionals and "experts" being paid to add their names as authors.
Who can your physician trust? Your physician who is simply trying to provide the best care he or she can – how do they make the best judgments of which device is the best and which new drug is the most effective? They read. They listen. The problem is…who are they listening to?

California Labor Bill AB5 has ride-hailing companies collaborating rather than competing – and waiting on CA Senate vote
June 24, 2019, 2:00PM . By Jane Mundy
Bill AB5 is expected to create a crackdown in California's gig economy, particularly with ride-hailing companies such as Uber and Lyft, which have joined forces to oppose the bill.
Sacramento, CAUber and Lyft have become wildly successful, mainly due to classifying their drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, but misclassification is a violation of the California labor law and should the state Senate pass Bill AB5, the gig might be up for them and many other companies whose workers may be re-classified as employees.
The Case for Uber and Lyft
Uber and Lyft have been quietly lobbying to help weaken AB5, and now they have joined forces in an attempt to also enlist drivers. But their latest strategy may have back-fired.
In an op-ed published June 12 in the San Francisco Chronicle, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and Lyft co-founders Logan Green and John Zimmer attempted to make the case that drivers would no longer have the flexibility to make their own schedules if they become employees. They promise to set a minimum pay rate for drivers while they're picking up and dropping off passengers, create a company-backed fund for benefits like paid time off; and establish an association for drivers to advocate for further improvements, according to Vox.com.
"Some have proposed turning independent workers into employees in the belief that this would solve their challenge, they wrote. "But reclassification misses two important points: First, most drivers prefer freedom and flexibility to the forced schedules and rigid hourly shifts of traditional employment; and second, many drivers are supplementing income from other work…It's also no secret that a change to the employment classification of ride-share drivers would pose a risk to our businesses. But it's equally true that the status quo can and should be improved," they penned.
Assembly Bill 5 or AB5
The AB5 got its start back in 2004, when drivers working for Dynamex classified as independent contractors brought a lawsuit against the company. The outcome was a decision by the California Supreme Court to set a standard --called the ABC test—whereby three requirements had to be met to classify a worker as an independent contractor. To be a true independent contractor, workers must be "free from the control and the direction of the hirer," performing work outside the company, and be doing independent work in that trade.
AB5, which passed the state Assembly, means more stringent requirements added to the California labor law and it will also guarantee benefits and protections such as the $12 minimum hourly wage, unemployment insurance, health care subsidies, paid parental leave, and overtime pay.
Companies like Uber and Lyft are very worried. If the bill is passed, ride-hail drivers would probably fail the ABC test. "Once these laws change these companies are going to be hit hard, and have to pay out to drivers," Konstantine Anthony, an Uber driver and Mobile Workers Alliance organizer told the San Francisco Chronicle.
The op-ed piece links to a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper claiming that flexibility allows driver to earn more as independent contractors than they would as employees in other jobs. Interestingly, tow of the four authors are current or former Uber employees. But most for-hire drives seem to support AB5 because it offers wage protections that don't currently apply.

For instance, Al Aloudi, a driver from San Francisco, showed Mission Local (June 18) his Uber app: he had made 63.61 on a recent day driving in San Francisco when his app was activated for 7.5 hours, meaning he made about $8.50 per hour. "With AB5, I can have minimum wage for that," said Aloudi. If he had been considered an employee, Aloudi would have to be paid San Francisco's minimum wage of $15 an hour. That comes out to $112.50 for that day of work — nearly twice as much.
If companies such as Uber and Lyft are required to classify drivers as employees, they will incur huge expenses, and it will also level the playing field for taxi companies. And no doubt the public will no longer get cheaper rides. Countless people will be affected by the California Senate's vote at the end of this summer.

Der UEFA Intertoto Cup (bis 1994 Intertoto-Cup), ab 1995 meist kurz als "UI-Cup" bezeichnet, war ein europäischer Fußballwettbewerb für Vereine, welcher ab 1967 ausgetragen wurde. Ursprünglich wurde der Wettbewerb eingeführt, um auch in der fußballfreien Zeit – vor Saisonbeginn in den meisten europäischen Ligen – Totowetten anbieten zu können. Ab 1995 bestand für die Vereine, die in ihrer nationalen Liga knapp an der Qualifikation für den UEFA-Pokal gescheitert waren, über den UI-Cup die Möglichkeit, sich doch noch für den UEFA-Pokal zu qualifizieren. Auf Grund dieser letzten Chance wurde er umgangssprachlich auch "Strohhalm-Cup", "Trost-Cup" oder "Cup der guten Hoffnung" genannt. Der UI-Cup wurde in der Saison 2008/09 zum letzten Mal ausgetragen.

Modus
Ab der Saison 2006/07 erhielt jeder der 53 Mitgliedsverbände der UEFA genau einen Startplatz. Sollte ein Verband seinen Vertreter zurückziehen, so konnte der Platz von der UEFA an einen anderen Verband vergeben werden. In der Saison 2007/08 stellten Schottland, Norwegen, Liechtenstein und San Marino keine Teilnehmer. Rumänien stellte zwei Teilnehmer, sodass sich ein Teilnehmerfeld von 50 Mannschaften ergab. Es wurden drei K.-o.-Runden auf Basis von Hin- und Rückspiel ausgetragen. In der ersten Runde spielten 27 Vereine aus der unteren Hälfte der UEFA-Fünfjahreswertung sowie ein Vertreter Rumäniens. Die 14 Sieger und die Vertreter der 14 nächsthöheren Verbände trafen in der zweiten Runde aufeinander. Die an Top 8 gesetzten Verbände schickten ihre Vertreter direkt in die dritte Runde. Aus diesen und den 14 Siegern der zweiten Runde wurden elf Paarungen ausgelost. Die siegreichen Teams der dritten Runde stiegen in die zweite Qualifikationsrunde des UEFA-Pokals ein.
Sieger des Pokals wurde 2006 bis 2008 diejenige Mannschaft, die im darauffolgenden UEFA-Pokal die meisten Runden bestritt.

Nationale Qualifikation
Die Mannschaft, die den Tabellenplatz direkt hinter dem Platz für die direkte UEFA-Pokal-Qualifikation belegte, war im UI-Cup startberechtigt. Sollte die entsprechende Mannschaft sich nicht für den Wettbewerb angemeldet haben, rückte der Nächstplatzierte nach. Eine Zeit lang nahmen auch mehrere Mannschaften pro Verband teil. Erfüllte ein Klub die sportlichen Voraussetzungen für die Teilnahme an dem Wettbewerb, so behielt sich die UEFA vor, eine Lizenzüberprüfung vorzunehmen und die Mannschaft gegebenenfalls nicht zuzulassen. Zwischen 2005 und 2009 kam es aus lizenztechnischen Gründen zu 28 Ausschlüssen vom UEFA Intertoto Cup.

Geschichte
Der Intertoto-Cup wurde 1967 einerseits ins Leben gerufen, um in der Sommerzeit Spiele für die nationalen Toto-Gesellschaften anbieten zu können, andererseits um auch kleineren Vereinen die Möglichkeit zu geben, internationale Spiele zu bestreiten. Der Wettbewerb war quasi der direkte Nachfolger des 1967 letztmals ausgetragenen International Football Cup (IFC) und bestand bis 1994 aus Gruppenspielen, bei denen es stets mehrere Sieger gab. Im Jahr 1978 wurde ein einziges Mal eine Sonderveranstaltung durchgeführt. 1995 wurde der Intertoto-Cup zum UEFA Intertoto-Cup und seit diesem Zeitpunkt von der UEFA ausgerichtet. Im Zuge dessen wurden die Gruppenspiele um Finalspiele ergänzt, in denen sich die drei Siegermannschaften (1995 waren es nur zwei) für die erste Runde des UEFA-Pokals qualifizieren konnten. Der 1995 über den UI-Cup hinzugekommene Verein Girondins Bordeaux erreichte dadurch das Finale des UEFA-Pokals.

Im Jahre 1998 schließlich wurde die Gruppenphase abgeschafft. Seit dieser Zeit wurden die Sieger im Pokalmodus nach fünf Runden mit Hin- und Rückspiel ermittelt. Insgesamt nahmen pro Saison 61 Mannschaften aus dem europäischen Vereinsfußball teil, die stärkeren wurden direkt für die zweite oder dritte Runde gesetzt. Nach der fünften Runde standen drei Spitzenteams fest, welche sich für den UEFA-Pokal qualifizierten.

Am 30. November 2007 wurde die Abschaffung des UI-Cups nach der Austragung 2008 von der UEFA beschlossen. Dafür werden im in UEFA Europa League umbenannten UEFA-Pokal mehr Startplätze für schwächere Länder geschaffen und eine weitere Qualifikationsrunde gespielt.

Geschichte deutscher Teams im UI-Cup
Bis zur Saison 2004/05 erhielt Deutschland zwei, drei oder vier Startplätze. Die Vereine, die am Ende der Saison auf Platz sechs, sieben und acht (ggf. neun) der Tabelle der Fußball-Bundesliga landeten, waren für den UI-Cup qualifiziert. Deutsche Mannschaften stiegen aufgrund der hohen Platzierung Deutschlands in der UEFA-Fünfjahreswertung erst ab der zweiten oder dritten Runde des UI-Cup-Wettbewerbs ein. Ab der Saison 2006/07 erhielt jeder Verband nur noch einen Startplatz, für die Sieger der dritten Runde ging es in der UEFA-Cup-Qualifikation weiter.

Die deutschen Teilnehmer der letzten Jahre:
 1995 schafften alle vier deutschen Teilnehmer den Sprung ins Achtelfinale. Dort scheiterten der 1. FC Köln an Tirol Innsbruck aus Österreich mit 1:3 und Eintracht Frankfurt an Girondins Bordeaux, Frankreich, mit 0:3. Bayer 04 Leverkusen und der Karlsruher SC kamen mit Siegen über Odense BK, Dänemark, 5:2 und FC Aarau, Schweiz, 2:1 n. V. weiter. Im Viertelfinale verabschiedete sich Leverkusen mit einem 3:5 n. E. gegen Innsbruck. Somit schaffte mit dem Karlsruher SC als letztem deutschen Vertreter, über Bursaspor, Türkei, 6:5 n. E. der Sprung ins Halbfinale, wo sie allerdings gegen Girondins Bordeaux mit 0:2 und 2:2  ausschieden.
 1996 überstand einzig der Karlsruher SC als erster die Gruppenphase, Werder Bremen, TSV 1860 München und der VfB Stuttgart scheiterten bereits vorzeitig. Mit Halbfinal- und Finalsiegen über belgische Teams schafften die Karlsruher den Einzug in den UEFA-Pokal. Mit 3:2 und 2:0 wurde Lierse SK bezwungen und mit 0:1 und 3:1 im Finale auch Standard Lüttich. Im UEFA-Pokal scheiterte der KSC im Achtelfinale an Bröndby IF.
 1997 starteten vier Teams im UI-Cup, von denen einzig Werder Bremen in der letztmals ausgespielten Gruppenphase scheiterte. Sowohl der Hamburger SV als auch der 1. FC Köln und MSV Duisburg zogen als Gruppensieger ins Halbfinale ein. Dort scheiterten Hamburg am SC Bastia aus Frankreich mit 0:1 und 1:1 n. V. und Köln an Montpellier HSC, ebenfalls Frankreich, ebenfalls knapp mit 2:1 und 0:1 aufgrund der Auswärtstorregel. Auch die Duisburger schieden gegen ein französisches Team aus, allerdings erst im Finale, nachdem sie ihr Halbfinale gegen Dynamo Moskau, Russland, mit 2:2 und 3:1 überstehen konnten, an AJ Auxerre mit 0:0 und 0:2.
 1998 nahmen Werder Bremen und Hansa Rostock am UI-Cup teil. Bremen bezwang FK Inkaras Kaunas aus Litauen mit 4:1 und 1:0, SK Lommel aus Belgien mit 3:1 und 2:1, und im Halbfinale schließlich Samsunspor aus der Türkei glatt mit zweimal 3:0. Bremen setzte sich auch im Finale gegen Vojvodina Novi Sad aus Serbien mit 1:0 und 1:1 durch. Damit war die Qualifikation für den UEFA-Cup gelungen. Rostock hingegen scheiterte bereits im ersten Spiel mit 1:1 und 1:2 an Debreceni VSC aus Ungarn.
 1999 spielten der MSV Duisburg und der Hamburger SV im UI-Cup. Duisburg bezwang in der zweiten Runde Newry City aus Nordirland mit 2:0 und 0:1, in der dritten Runde Kocaelispor aus der Türkei mit 3:0 und 0:0. Erst im Halbfinale scheiterten sie am HSC Montpellier aus Frankreich mit 1:1 und 0:3. Der HSV stieg als besser platzierte Mannschaft erst in der dritten Runde ein, siegte dank der Auswärtstorregel mit 0:1 und 3:2 gegen den FC Basel aus der Schweiz und konnte auch im Halbfinale gegen Trabzonspor, Türkei, mit 2:2 und 4:1 siegreich den Platz verlassen. Im Finale scheiterten die Hanseaten schließlich, wie auch schon Duisburg, an Montpellier mit 1:1 und 1:1, letztlich 3:0 i. E.
 2000 meldeten sich VfL Wolfsburg und der VfB Stuttgart für den UI-Cup. Die Vereine belegten in der Saison 1999/2000 die Plätze sieben und acht in der Liga. Der VfB Stuttgart gewann und qualifizierte sich somit für den UEFA-Pokal. Der VfL Wolfsburg konnte sich nicht durchsetzen.
 2001 waren es Werder Bremen, VfL Wolfsburg und der TSV 1860 München. Die Vereine belegten am Ende der Saison in der Meisterschaft zwar nur die Plätze sieben, neun und elf. Da sich jedoch der 1. FC Kaiserslautern (Achter) und der 1. FC Köln (Zehnter) nicht für den UI-Cup gemeldet hatten, konnten die Vereine nachrücken. Die Vereine bis Platz sechs starteten in der Champions League (Platz 1–2), Champions-League-Qualifikation (3-4) und im UEFA-Pokal (5–6).
 2002 hatte die Bundesliga aufgrund der UEFA-Fünfjahreswertung noch einen direkten UEFA-Pokal-Platz mehr und nur zwei Vereine (Platz sieben und acht) durften in den UI-Cup. Es waren Stuttgart und Kaiserslautern. Der VfB gewann den Wettbewerb und qualifizierte sich für den UEFA-Pokal.
 2003 stiegen Werder Bremen, der FC Schalke 04 und VfL Wolfsburg (Platz sechs bis acht) in der dritten Runde des UI-Cup-Wettbewerbs ein, weil Deutschland im Vorjahr in der UEFA-Wertung herabgestuft worden war.
 2004 waren Borussia Dortmund (in der dritten Runde ausgeschieden), der FC Schalke 04 (einer der drei Sieger) und Hamburger SV (im Halbfinale ausgeschieden) (jeweils Einstieg in der dritten Runde des UI-Cups) und VfL Wolfsburg (Einstieg in der zweiten Runde und gleich gegen FC Thun ausgeschieden) von den Bundesliga-Plätzen sechs bis zehn der Tabelle für den UI-Cup qualifiziert. Wolfsburg kam als Zehnter in den UI-Cup, weil Hansa Rostock (Neunter) verzichtete. Die DFL hatte sich im Jahr 2004 erfolgreich auf einen durch den Verzicht des italienischen Fußballverbandes zusätzlich frei gewordenen Platz beworben und stellte deshalb vier Teilnehmer.
 2005 nahmen Borussia Dortmund (in der dritten Runde eingestiegen und gleich ausgeschieden), Hamburger SV (ab der dritten Runde) und VfL Wolfsburg (ab der zweiten Runde) am Wettbewerb teil. Wolfsburg rückte als Tabellenneunter erneut nach, da der Sechste Bayer 04 Leverkusen bereits für den UEFA-Pokal qualifiziert war (die Pokalfinalteilnehmer FC Bayern München und FC Schalke 04 waren für die Champions League qualifiziert).
 2006 nahm Hertha BSC teil (in der dritten Runde eingestiegen und gewonnen, damit die zweite Runde der UEFA-Cup-Qualifikation erreicht).
 2007 qualifizierte sich der Hamburger SV (in der dritten Runde eingestiegen und gewonnen, damit die zweite Runde der UEFA-Cup-Qualifikation erreicht).
 2008 zog der VfB Stuttgart dank Platz sechs in der Bundesliga direkt in die dritte Runde des UI-Cups ein und qualifizierte sich nach einer Auswärtsniederlage (0:1) und einem Heimsieg (3:0 n. V.) gegen Saturn Ramenskoje für die zweite Qualifikationsrunde des UEFA-Cups.

Robin McAlpine: The independence movement's biggest battle is against denial
Common Weal director Robin McAlpine argues that no progress will be made towards Scottish independence until its supporters recognise the reality facing them
IT IS NOW 15 years since a George W Bush strategist scrawled 'we make our own reality' on a whiteboard. That philosophy – when you're powerful enough, you no longer need to be constrained by 'the reality-based community' – now appears to drive the SNP leadership.
For Bush's team, it was weapons of mass destruction; for the SNP leadership, it's a referendum in 2020. In both cases there are entirely self-serving reasons for the pretence.
The problem is that it is always a matter of time before reality comes calling. We can see that in today's Middle East; we will soon see that the 2020 independence referendum is every bit as 'real' as those weapons of mass destruction.
But the SNP leadership (and its various enablers) are vigorously clinging on to the reality they have manufactured in which the referendum is round the corner and the Growth Commission wouldn't represent a cut in Tory spending levels (it does – see below).
Facts don't matter. Arithmetic doesn't matter. What matters is that enough people believe it for long enough to stave off an internal rebellion and that the grievance hits in time for the Scottish elections, where it will be used to achieve total power. A new reality will be manufactured at that point.
READ MORE: Robin McAlpine: Simple, accurate answers for Andrew Neil's questions
Too much of the movement is in denial about this. Until that changes, there will be no momentum for progress. I'm finalising a strategy paper which I think sets out a coherent route to winning an independence referendum, but it will just get sucked into the SNP leadership alternative reality hole.
I'm not starting the New Year pessimistic – it has been as plain as the nose on your face for years now that this was going to be where we ended up. That it's dawning on people now (if my correspondence is anything to go by) just shows how much denial there has been.
Eventually things will change because all things change. Those who make a good income out the status quo will keep fighting to protect it, but in the end reality will come for them too.
There is no question in my mind there is a clear path to independence. It is just really frustrating that yet another six months look like they are going to be wasted before there is widespread recognition that we're not on it.
Here, in my opinion, is the size and shape of our denial.
There is no '45 per cent strategy' and never will be
I can't quite make out why we were so self-satisfied over a General Election in which independence-supporting parties won 45 per cent of the vote. Pop the corks and feel the euphoria – we've achieved five years of total stasis. Do you want to come to the photocopier room and look at the size of my mandate?
I don't think I've repeated any point more times in my life but any chance of getting independence in a mutually-agreed way, by persuading the public that Westminster is being anti-democratic or by convincing other nation-states to recognise a Scotland which has declared unilateral independence, is 100 per cent dependant on a majority of Scots supporting independence.
Every version of success begins with majority support; every single version of minority-support-based strategy is absolutely guaranteed to fail. Not as in 'probably' - as in zero chance.
So one more time – either we campaign based on a positive case for independence, stop talking about referendums for a bit and actually win over a majority of Scots, or we're utterly and completely wasting our time.
Party is being put before cause
I suspect you too will be familiar with the mantra that 'only the SNP is a vehicle for independence' – but it's a very self-serving perspective. At the moment only an SNP-Green coalition is able to deliver a formal legislative request for a Section 30 Order. From there, the actual campaign could be delivered in many ways.
There is 'reality-based community' data which shows that the voters we most need to win over are least persuaded by political parties, which strongly suggests the SNP shouldn't lead. But for the same self-serving reasons, that reality will continue to be denied.
If you don't believe me, a wee thought experiment: as a political strategist, the most obvious advance we could make would be if 5,000 indy supporters join Scottish Labour and 2,000 join the Scottish Lib Dems.
That, at a stroke, would change the independence policy of both parties and the argument would be fundamentally over – we'd be back to 'everyone but the Tories', which in Scotland is a strong working consensus.
If it was prioritising the interests of independence, the SNP would celebrate such a suggestion and welcome Labour's U-turn. If it was solely interested in maintaining the generous salaries so many now make out of the cause of independence the SNP would strenuously attack anyone who made that suggestion.
So what do you think? Self interest or self sacrifice?
The official case for independence is a disaster
I had a telling email exchange before Christmas. A correspondent of mine wrote: "Don't worry so much Robin, no-one takes the Growth Commission seriously outside the movement".
This is a very worrying but very widespread misreading of reality. In fact absolutely everyone (media, opposition, the public) takes the Growth Commission seriously EXCEPT us. Why would they not? They've been told in no uncertain terms this is the case for independence. Only activists are in denial about this.
Be clear – a 2020 referendum would be a referendum on the Growth Commission and we're the only people who seem not to realise and accept this.
And there is now solid evidence about the impact this will have. When (finally) a journalist asks coherent questions about the Growth Commission, the inability to answer any of them results in a drop in support for independence.
Let me repeat that; after the Andrew Neil interview support for independence dropped. And it wasn't just Sturgeon's poor performance – Andrew Wilson had, I think, three days to formulate what Sturgeon should have said and came up with this.
READ MORE: Robin McAlpine: Yes, I'm knackered – but I can see utopia from here
It is time to face reality. Do you want to gamble the entire cause of independence on the basis of these answers (which basically sum up as 'it's too complicated for you to understand')?
Of course, SNP HQ is relentlessly pushing the argument that there is a sentence saying 'no austerity'. But that's just selectively quoting the weapons inspectors to imply they mean the opposite of what they actually mean.
Arithmetic is quite a good way to deal with fantasy, so let's quickly do some. The Growth Commission demands that public spending must rise no faster than one per cent below GDP growth. In 2018 GDP grew by 1.4 per cent, so public spending could only rise at 0.4 per cent. But in that year public expenditure actually rose by 2.92 per cent. So the Growth Commission would have cut Tory spending levels in Scotland by 2.5 per cent in real terms.
In 2019 it is projected that final GDP growth will have been 1.2 per cent, but public spending will increase by 2.5 per cent, so that's a 2.3 per cent cut on Tory spending levels. In fact, in the last two years alone the Growth Commission would have cut nearly five per cent or £4 billion from Tory spending levels. (This effect will get much worse when Boris Johnson's infrastructure spending comes online.)
But hey, that's just arithmetic – the SNP has its own reality.
No-one owes us anything
At Christmas, a close family friend quizzed me on why some young RIC activists were campaigning for Labour in Scotland. I'm afraid I found the question to be loaded with entitlement – it's not like no-one warned in advance that 'you can lurch to the right, but you'll need to face up to the consequences'.
I fear the 'dissent police' don't realise just how many people they have driven out the movement. I bump into people all the time who say variations of 'it's not like 2014 when you were allowed your own opinions'. I mean, getting indy-hero Alasdair Gray to vote Labour is a remarkable achievement of the Sturgeon era.
Taking our lead from the top, too many of us behave like we have a god-given right to the compliance of others. We have lost humility; did you really believe you could just 'Twitter shame' young activists to deliver Growth Commission leaflets round the housing schemes?
We're due nothing; we earn it or we lose it. We're telling socialists they must first support austerity. We're telling the peace movement that they must first back Nato (and Sturgeon's rigorous adherence to the Nato line). We tell environmentalists that they must first support the unlimited expansion of oil and gas.
The SNP seems now to be based mostly on control, on 'this is your lot – suck it up and smile or something worse will happen'. But back here in the reality-based community there are consequences – and few people are smiling.
SNP HQ is low quality
Many of you seem to have a much stronger stomach for rampant ego and enforced hero worship than me. I'm not and never have been a fan of 'hail the great leader' political strategy; it made me queasy when it was 20 ft pictures of Tony Blair and it makes me queasy when it's 20 ft pictures of Nicola Sturgeon.
I'm far from alone in my distaste for the current overwhelming focus on one personality, but there seem to be enough people willing to believe that a solid victory against three barely electable alternatives retrospectively proves the quality of the campaign.
In reality it was one more in a string of poorly devised and poorly executed campaigns. I mean, name me another political party in modern political history which has run five consecutive campaigns on the same slogan?
Show me another campaign with such woefully poor message discipline (don't like that soundbite – here's another). Tell me who else spontaneously starts promoting the opposition's policy (Devo Max) without any consideration or preparation with days to go before the vote.
READ MORE: Robin McAlpine: Indy can't leave the young behind – we need to back a Green New Deal
I could go on and on, but in the end this is a campaign which managed to lose support for independence over its course and that's what you need to focus on. We won't be fighting Jeremy Corbyn in indyref, we'll be fighting the Scottish establishment.
In that context, I simply do not believe there is anything approaching sufficient quality in SNP HQ to be able to win an independence referendum alone (and I think it's pretty clear now that the next independence referendum is going to be an 'in house' affair).
Nor do I believe that Nicola Sturgeon and her husband (who control everything) have between them the skills to deliver independence. That needn't matter if one or other of them had ever demonstrated the capacity to work effectively with others.
I suspect the cunning plan is to get us into court to fight a long fight on Section 30 Orders we have no chance of winning, parking the issue and building up frustration they hope to redirect into more jobs at Holyrood for them.
That tactic I believe them capable of delivering; breaking the independence log jam I believe to be outside their skill set.
Continuity is futile
I repeat that I'm working on my best contribution to the debate on what we could do from here and I'm optimistic in the long term. Many of the cards we'll need to play are in our hands.
But ending the pretence that a bit more of what we're doing (vote SNP and then shut up while they do anything apart from campaign for independence) might to lead to a breakthrough is the first battle we must win.
Until we realise we can't win this until we talk about the future, that we can't win this by relentlessly punishing dissent, that we can't win this from 45 per cent, that sycophancy isn't a strategy, that the Growth Commission is a suicide note, that the movement has shrunk and must be rebuilt, that the ability to control is not the same as real ability – until we accept these things I can't see how we make progress.
But the chill breeze of reality will blow through our house sooner or later, it will blow the dust away and we'll be forced to look at things as they really are. It can't happen soon enough.

The T G Macarthy Trust is celebrating its 100 year anniversary with a special one-off contribution of $40,000 to 40 toy libraries across the lower North Island, says Public Trust Chief Executive Graeme Hansen.
The Kapiti Toy Library are among those receiving grants.
"The T G Macarthy Trust is the oldest and one of the largest charitable trusts in the Wellington region. It has given $61 million to more than a thousand education providers, charitable organisations and community groups since its establishment in 1912.
"This year alone the trust is distributing $2.8 million to hundreds of local charities, schools and other educational institutions. Many small community organisations like the toy library that are supported by the trust will benefit their communities in a significant way.
"None of this would be possible without the foresight of Wellington businessman Thomas George Macarthy to create an enduring legacy," Mr Hansen said.
Thomas George Macarthy was a successful Wellington businessman who established the trust in his will to benefit charitable and educational causes within the old Wellington province. The trust continues to support a number of different causes related to children and families in their community.
As successful as Mr Macarthy was in business, that success has been eclipsed by the sheer magnitude of his charitable giving. Few people have made such a large and sustained contribution to communities in the greater Wellington region as Mr Macarthy.
Public Trust is the trustee of the T G Macarthy Trust, providing it with investment expertise as well as administering applications and payment of grants.
The T G Macarthy Trust is a perpetual charitable trust established by Wellington businessman Thomas George Macarthy in 1912 to support charitable and educational causes in the former Wellington province (the lower North Island).
Since 1912 $61 million has been distributed to over a thousand education providers, charitable organisations and community groups.
The T G Macarthy board is comprised of the Governor-General, a representative of the Prime Minister, the Mayor of Wellington and the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Wellington.
Public Trust is the trustee for the T G Macarthy Trust. In this role it advises the Board on investment and grant strategies and performs the administrative functions including management of applications, distribution of grants, and evaluation of the social impact of grants.
Thomas George Macarthy followed the gold rushes in Victoria, Otago and the West Coast before settling in Wellington in 1877 as a brewer and hotelier. As well as being a successful businessman Mr Macarthy actively participated in public affairs and was a Director of the Bank of New Zealand and President of the Wellington Racing Club as well as holding many other offices.

Q: If $a,b \in \mathbb R$ satisfy $a^2+2ab+2b^2=7,$ then find the largest possible value of $|a-b|$ I came across the following problem that says:

If $a,b \in \mathbb R$ satisfy $a^2+2ab+2b^2=7,$ then the largest possible value of $|a-b|$ is which of the following?
  $(1)\sqrt 7$,  $(2)\sqrt{7/2}$ , $(3)\sqrt {35}$  $(4)7$

My Attempt:  We notice, $(a-b)^2=7-(4ab+b^2)$ and hence $|a-b|=\sqrt {7-(4ab+b^2)}$ and so $|a-b|$ will be maximum whenever $(4ab+b^2)$ will be minimum. But now I am not sure how to progress further hereon.Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for your time.

A: You can solve the given equation as a quadratic to get $a=-b \pm \sqrt {b^2-2b^2+7}=-b \pm \sqrt {7-b^2}$.  To minimize $4ab+b^2$ you want $a$ as negative as possible, so take the minus sign.  Now you have $|a-b|=\sqrt{7-4b(-b-\sqrt{7-b^2})-b^2}=\sqrt{7+3b^2+4b\sqrt{7-b^2}}$.  Now you can take the derivative, set to zero, etc.
Added:  Wolfram Alpha shows the maximum at $b=2\sqrt{\frac 75}, a=-3\sqrt {\frac 75}$ with $|a-b|=\sqrt {35}$

A: The previous solution was wrong, because I used $\frac {da}{db} = -1$ instead. I've added an explanation of why we should have used $\frac {da}{db} = 1$.

The simplest approach I can think of, is to realize that you have a conic section, which is an ellipse.
Because you are interested in extreme values of $a-b = K$, this would be lines of the form $a = b + K$. From calculus, it follows that the extremum occurs at the points of your ellipse where $1 = \frac {da}{db}$. By implicit differentiation,
$$ 2a \frac {da}{db} + 2a + 2b \frac {da}{db} + 4b = 0,$$
hence $a = -\frac {3b}{2}$. Plugging this back into the equation, we obtain $\frac {9b^2}{4} - 3b^2 + 2b^2 = 7$, or that $b = \pm 2 \sqrt{\frac {7}{5}}$. Check the corresponding values of $a$ are given by $ ( a, b) = ( -3 \sqrt{ \frac {7}{5} }, 2 \sqrt{ \frac {7}{5} }), (  3\sqrt{\frac {7}{5}}  , -2 \sqrt{ \frac {7}{5}})$. Hence, the maximum of $|a-b|$ is $\sqrt{ 35}$.

A: Instead of maximizing $|\,\cdot\,|$ you can equivalently maximize $|\,\cdot\,|^2$, which has the advantage of being smooth. Then you can set
\begin{align*}
f(a,b) &= a^2 - 2ab + b^2\\
g(a,b) &= a^2 + 2ab + 2b^2\\
c &= 7
\end{align*}
and solve the corresponding Lagrange problem
\begin{align*}
(d/da):&& a - b + L*(a + b) &= 0\\
(d/db):&& b - a + L*(2b + a) &= 0\\
(d/dL):&& a^2 + 2ab + 2b^2 - c &= 0
\end{align*}
If you add (d/da) and (d/db) and assume $L \ne 0$ (otherwise you obviously get the minimum), then this implies $2a+3b = 0$ and thus $b = -2/3a$. From (d/dL) it now follows that $a^2 = 63/5$ and also $b^2 = 28/5$. With $a=\sqrt{63/5}$ and $b=-\sqrt{28/5}$, we get $|a-b| = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.9$ (you can also change the sign on both $a$ and $b$ as long as you do it at the same time).

A: Here's a trick that doesn't involve calculus:
You have seen that
$$(a - b)^2 + 4ab + b^2 = 7$$
Now, adding this equation to S times the original equation, you get:
$$(a - b)^2 + Sa^2 + (4 + 2S)ab + (1 + 2S)b^2 = 7 + 7S$$
You would like to turn the last three terms into a perfect square, ie:
$$Sa^2  + (4 + 2S)ab + (1 + 2S)b^2 = (\sqrt{S}a + \sqrt{1 + 2S}b)^2$$
So, matching the middle terms, we get:
$$4 + 2S = 2\sqrt{S}\sqrt{1 + 2S}$$
$$(2 + S)^2 = S(1 + 2S)$$
$$4 + 3S- S^2 = 0$$
Now, $S = 4$ and $S = -1$ are solutions, but we want the positive one. Plugging in $S = 4$, we go back to the second line:
$$(a - b)^2 + 4a^2 + 12ab + 9b^2 = 7 + 7 \cdot 4$$
$$(a - b)^2 + (2a + 3b)^2 = 35$$
Since squares are positive, the largest possible value of $(a - b)^2$ is clearly $35$, and it is achieved exactly when $2a + 3b = 0$.
You might think this is a convoluted and needlessly tricky way of solving this problem. That's probably true, but I think the technique of creating terms which are perfect squares is handy in proving inequalities, because of the fact that perfect squares are nonnegative.

A: As the distance between points is invariant 1,2 under Rotation,
using Rotation of axes by putting $a=x\cos\theta-y\sin\theta$ and $b=x\sin\theta+y\cos\theta$ in $a^2+2ab+2b^2=7$
$(x\cos\theta-y\sin\theta)^2+2(x\cos\theta-y\sin\theta)(x\sin\theta+y\cos\theta)+2(x\sin\theta+y\cos\theta)^2=7$
or, $x^2(\cos^2\theta+2\cos\theta\sin\theta+2\sin^2\theta)$
$+xy(-2\cos\theta\sin\theta+2\cos^2\theta-2\sin^2\theta+4\cos\theta\sin\theta)+y^2(\sin^2\theta-2\cos\theta\sin\theta+2\cos^2\theta)=7$
Applying $\cos2\theta=2\cos^2\theta-1=1-2\sin^2\theta$ and $\sin2\theta=2\cos\theta\sin\theta,$
$x^2(3-\cos2\theta+2\sin2\theta)+2xy(2\cos2\theta+\sin2\theta)+y^2(3+\cos2\theta-2\sin2\theta)=14$
To remove $xy$ term we put $2\cos2\theta+\sin2\theta=0\implies \frac{-\sin2\theta}2=\frac{\cos2\theta}1=\pm\frac1{\sqrt{2^2+1^2}}$
Taking the '$+$' sign and on simplification  we get $\frac{x^2}{\frac{7(3+\sqrt5)}2}+\frac{y^2}{\frac{7(3-\sqrt5)}2}=1$
Comparing with $\frac{x^2}{c^2}+\frac{y^2}{d^2}=1,$
the extreme values of $x$ are $\pm\sqrt{\frac{7(3+\sqrt5)}2}=\pm\frac{\sqrt7}2\sqrt{6+2\sqrt5}=\pm\frac{\sqrt7}2\sqrt{(\sqrt5+1)^2}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{35}+\sqrt7}2$
Similarly, the respective extreme values of $y$ are $\pm\frac{\sqrt{35}-\sqrt7}2$
So, maximum value of $|a-b|=\left|\frac{\sqrt{35}+\sqrt7}2-(\frac{\sqrt7-\sqrt{35}}2)\right|=\sqrt{35}$
