Q: Calculating specific heat capacity of a carbon rod from a current passing through it I am currently doing a high school investigation which consists of calculating the specific heat capacity of a carbon rod from a current passing through it. The method used to do this is to insert a section of the rod in a constant volume of water and using a temperature probe to measure the rate of change of temperature of the water for different power values (Power calculated from the product of current and potential difference; P=IV). I am assuming all that the power applied to the water is the same as that of the carbon rod. The equation is such that:
$$Q/Δt=mcΔT/Δt$$
So that the slope of the graph between power and rate of change of temperature divided by the mass of the carbon rod gives the specific heat capacity of the carbon rod.
However, I have done all of this successfully and the slope is something surprisingly big. When I divide it by the mass of carbon that is in contact with the water, it gives me something around 160J/g·K, which is nothing close to the actual value. What is a possible reason for this? Should I have accounted for the mass of the water?

A: The water and the rod both increase in temperature, so you need to take both into account. If you know the total amount of heat U generated, and the mass of water $m_w$ and the rod, $m_r$, and you know the heat capacity of the water $c_w$ but not of the rod $c_r$, then you have to solve this equation:
$$U = (m_w c_w + m_r c_r)\Delta T$$
Ignore the water, and everything looks like heat capacity of the rod. Which will obviously give you the wrong answer.
Because you are taking the difference between two numbers, this is a hard experiment to do well - the answer is likely to have large error bars. Make sure you spend time thinking about that.

Contursi Named Artist of the Week by the OC Register
By: JEBB HARRIS, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
The Orange County Register profiles this week's artist of the week, JSerra senior and Ladera Ranch resident, Nikka Contursi.
What art form(s) do you work in? Photography
How did you get involved in photography? I started taking pictures at my parents' Christmas parties when I was about 4 years old. The angles were pretty hilarious – mostly shots of headless guests, legs and shoes. After that, I put down the disposable camera for a while until I borrowed my mom's Nikon N2000 in middle school, and I haven't put it down since!
What is your favorite work of art/photograph? Who is your favorite artist/photographer? I have loved Richard Avedon's "Dovima With Elephants" since I was about 12, and it's still one of my favorites. Something about the photograph just always seems to draw my attention. I admire so many photographers' work, but to name a few: Avedon, Mark "The Cobrasnake" Hunter, Hugh Lippe, Arthur Elgort and Annie Leibovitz.
Who have been your influences? Did you have a mentor in your development as an artist? If so, how did they help you? Ms. Stehney, photography instructor at JSerra, has inspired me since the day I stepped foot in her classroom during my sophomore year. She has accomplished a wide range of work during her very successful career, and stories of her travels and work inspire me to continue shooting. I would not be where I am today without her enthusiasm and constant encouragement. She treats me like a professional rather than just a teenage student. She has continued to help me grow.
What inspires you? During the creative process I can be inspired by anything, but if I am looking for inspiration, I often go to couture and street fashion, people-watching and pop culture.
Other than photography, are you involved in any other activities? If so, what are they? I am on the varsity tennis team at JSerra. I also volunteer by helping young children learn the fundamentals of tennis, and I work on my online portfolio:nikkaacontursii.tumblr.com.
What do you get out of taking pictures? I am a very visual person, so photography allows me to express my ideas without speaking. It's also lots of fun because there are no rules and I'm able to create whatever I want. Photography also gives me a break from the real world. I can sit on my computer for hours editing photographs and never get bored. It's something that brings me happiness.
How do the arts figure into your long-term goals? I hope to attend either Parsons in New York City or Academy of Art in San Francisco. I'd also like to spend a year studying abroad. My ultimate goal as of now is to become a fashion photographer and travel the world doing what I love.
What is the best advice you have received? Some of the best advice I have received has come from my parents. My mom and dad have been my support system since Day One, always catching me when I fall, and constantly telling me to never stop pursuing my dreams and not to let anyone get in my way. I don't know what I would do without all of their continuous support.
Do you have any other thoughts about being a photographer that you would like to share with us? Don't let anyone or anything hold you back in pursuing your dreams, shoot every single day and have fun doing what you love!

JSerra's Robinson Gets High Marks on Progress Report
Posted on August 8, 2013 August 7, 2013 by JSerra Blog
Parker Joe Robinson
By Adam Maya, OC Varsity
Parker Joe Robinson threw two scoreless innings while striking out three batters in a recent showcase at UCLA. But the true test came the next day when he asked his father, Jeff, how he looked.
"I noticed he was opening up his front side early," Jeff said. "He said, 'Yeah, I felt it. I wasn't getting loaded.' For him to figure that out is really gratifying."
Not so much because of his son's success, Jeff said, but his progress. Jeff pitched nine years in the major leagues, including one season (1991) with the Angels. Once Parker Joe made it clear at a young age he hoped to "follow (his) dad" on the mound, Jeff alternated between Father and Coach, one pitch at a time.
"With my background, I knew you had to build a foundation," Jeff said. "It's a process."
Parker Joe, who will be a senior in the fall at JSerra, worked on being quicker to the plate from the stretch this past spring. The previous year was it was about maintaining his balance point. Before that it was his follow through.
Now, Jeff wants his son to put it all together.
"It's for him to figure it out on his own," Jeff said. "He's learned all the major mechanics. Ever since he started pitching, there was one goal per season, one thing to master every year. That's led him to where he is now."
This week that's the Area Code Games in Long Beach, where more than 200 of the nation's top prospects are competing in an all-wood bat tournament. Parker Joe is one of seven players from Orange County that made the cut.
"It's a big honor," Parker Joe said.
It's also a big improvement. Just 15 months ago, the powerful, 6-foot-5 Parker Joe was still playing junior varsity, mostly because Lions varsity coach Brett Kay wanted to see Parker Joe develop into a two-way player. The sophomore responded by playing nearly every inning and winning MVP honors.
"He understood the process," Kay said.

McLaughlin Earns Spot on Junior Worlds Team
By Dan Albano, OC Register
Katie McLaughlin plans to attend the first day of school at JSerra High later this month. But after that, she'll be on a well-earned absence.
The rising Mission Viejo Nadadores swimmer sealed her spot on the U.S. team for the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with a stellar performance on the opening night of the Speedo Junior Championships on Monday.
The 16-year-old captured the 200-meter butterfly in a lifetime-best 2 minutes, 9.68 seconds at William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center. SOCAL's Ella Eastin touched fifth at 2:11.30.
McLaughlin's time ranks third among U.S. women this year and places her on the U.S. team for junior worlds, which begin Aug. 26.
JSerra starts school Aug. 20.
"I'm so excited," McLaughlin said. "I'll be there first day (of school) and then I miss like 10 days. … I'm getting my classes early and I've already started to email my teachers just in case."
McLaughlin finished third behind Cammile Adams, 21, and Maya DiRado, 20, in June at the World Championships trials and said juniors was her main target.
"I'm putting more on myself that I want do better at this meet," she said. "I've been to a couple juniors now, so I know what I should be doing and what I can do."
The Nadadores' Nick Norman, 16, also showed what he can do. In the 1,500 freestyle, the Capistrano Valley junior-to-be charged from eighth place at the 200 mark to finish second to Jonathan Roberts of the North Texas Nadadores (15:24.82) in a lifetime-best 15:31.41. Norman sliced just more than 10 seconds off his best.
"That's what keeps you coaching," Nadadores coach Bill Rose said of Norman. "All heart."
Norman appears just outside the top-two ranking needed to qualify for Dubai in the 1,500. David Heron of the Nadadores is ranked first with a 15:24.54 from last week's U.S. Open, followed by Roberts. In the men's 200 butterfly, Corey Okubo of Aquazot and University High finished fourth in a lifetime-best 1:58.28.

View Full Version : Maxtor HD: slave or replacement?
Ok. I've received the Maxtor 30g HD and mounting sled (curiously, made by Radio Flyer). Inside my bG3 266, connecting the HD to the motherboard is a ribbon cable with only one connection on each end. I understand that this mochine supports only two IDE devices.
Question 1: Which devices are IDE besides the original, 4g HD? I'm guessing the CD-ROM, which has a similar cable plugged in next to the HD cable.
Question 2: (the big one) Do I back up all the data on the original HD and simply replace it with the new one? Or do I buy a new ribbon cable that can has an extra plug for the new HD and designate it a slave? Or would I designate it a master? I don't like losing the 4g of storage, but if it won't run two hard drives, well, so be it. Any swift replies or thoughts would be appreciated, as I'd like to screw this thing together tonight.
Thanks in advance for walking this greenhorn through the process.
REV1 G3s do not support two drives per bus. It does have two IDE/ATA buses, but you can only hook one device to each bus. You will need to backup the 4G and then install the 30G and restor. You might want to get an old slow 'cheap' 50pin SCSI drive. This will allow to to transer files to the SCSI and keep that as a temp/backup drive until the 30G is running.
You would set the 30G to either Master or Single, depending on the jumper settings. Often there is a schematic on the drive itself, or you can go to the web site.
Another option would be to get a IDE/ATA card. This would give you a little better throuhput, but I've found that installing ATA/66/100 drives on the stock bus does show some real improvements.
Thanks, dragon. And to think I had nothing to do this weekend. As for those fish, hey, don't mention it. We've tons of trout here in Montana.
How do you frind out what the rev version is for a B&W G3?
In the System Profiler, look under "Production Information" within the System Profile tab. The first number ($77.D 45F6 or something like that) identifies which revision you've got. To see what those are, go to crucial.com and use their configuration search to find the match for that number, and it'll tell you which revision that is. Or was it everymac.com? One of those two.
we have that info on our logic boards pages on the main site.
where in Montana? Just curious.


Corbin Seat upgrade — Randy Zabarsky.. My Life..
I can't wait to go riding this spring. I upgraded my stock seat to a Corbin modular seat. It has two pieces for the seat and a bar that the back of the front seat attaches to the Concours. If you buy the seat used make sure they include the bar. Corbin sells the bar for $$. I will still use the airhawk for longer rides.
Seat installed with out bar. Rear seat is actually just sitting there.
This is the bar that was missing when I bought the seat.

I confess that I expected a kind of techy geeky atmosphere and a round of talks much of whose substance would go right over my lit crit head. Instead I found presentations of poetic beauty that drew on literature, history, anthropology, robotics and, yes, programming, to intrigue and inspire, to pose questions and offer possible solutions.
Sitting in the back row, next to Corey Pressman of Exprima Media, whose wry asides added to the enjoyment of the material being presented, and surrounded by familiar faces—Len Vlahos of BISG, Bill McCoy of IDPF, Angela Boles of IBPA, and numerous other non-acronymous FOBBs (friends of Book Business), columnist Andrew Brenneman, Editorial Board member Brian O'Leary, Publishing Business Conference speakers Kirsty Melville, Jason Merkoski, Peter Balis, Richard Nash and Joshua Tallent—we listened to a parade of forward-thinkers take apart the book and, in an un-Humpty Dumpty like way, put it back together again in intriguing new configurations and combinations.
Hosts Peter Brantley of Hypothes.is and Kat Meyer, now officially of Frankfurt Book Fair, kept things rolling on stage in friendly fashion, and, while offstage, kept the Twitter feed lively. Kudos to them for collecting a roster of speakers with diverse viewpoints, and for also providing ample time for networking breaks filled with excellent bluegrass music. If an overall theme had to be identified, I would say one thread I heard was a non-corporate lean toward open source and collaboration, or interconnectivity, as they might phrase it, but in large part these presentations went in a multitude of directions.
The constraints of this blog format will keep me from going into great length about any one of the 32 plus speakers. I hope, in future posts, to have the chance to write more and interview some of the speakers. What follows here is a highlight reel of Books in Browsers 2013.
Manuel Schmalstieg, Head, Geneva and Greyscale Press, kicked off the presentations (his was entitled "A Book Isn't a Book Isn't a Book") and taught me several things. The first is that Jorge Luis Borges is buried in Geneva, which I hadn't known. (The Argentinean writer spent much of his childhood in Switzerland.) The second is "very strange phenomena that not many people have noticed:" book SPAM. Spam books are "harvested" (by bots I think) from content that already exists on the web, such as Wikipedia entries. As a result of this phenomenon, some publishers of digital books now apparently say: "we will not accept copy that is freely available on the web unless you are the copyright owner." Imagine that (note sarcasm in my comment)!
I was also amused when Schmalstieg said that POD has enabled us to "do projects that would have been completely suicidal for an editor to put in the world." A lovely way to express the challenges editors have taken on since time immemorial – risking death indeed – let's hear it for editors!
Peter Armstrong of Leanpub described a book as a start up: "a highly creative endeavor… with a low probability of success." He would appear to side with Merkoski in the reader feedback department, saying that publishers should "focus on improving and retooling the product [that would be the book] based on reader feedback." Armstrong called on Dickens to buttress his argument, as did other BiB speakers. The serial nature of Dickens's writing and publishing enabled him to incorporate reader feedback, judge the popularity of various characters, and adjust the text accordingly as he progressed through the story.
"Serial was how you built traction for the book," says Armstrong. "Writers and readers are necessary—the rest of us are optional. There are no gatekeepers anymore. We need to create our own value." The "seize the hall the gatekeepers are gone" mentality certainly prevailed at this conference! Wattpad was mentioned as one place to go gatekeeper-free and publish serial fiction. And Leanpub, of course, as a model for a new kind of agile publishing where the typical pattern is write, release, receive feedback, revise, republish, and repeat as necessary.
Baldur Bjarnason of Unbound says that "interactivity is what you do" and that "interactive media is composed of the meaningful actions the user takes while interacting with your work." James Bridle of Booktwo.org is "constantly searching for literatures that reflect changes in narrative mode" and has published, among other things, a book made up entirely of tweets entitled, fittingly, My Life in Tweets.
Next Anna von Veh of Say Books described "the distance between the reader and the writer" and "the limits of certain conventions," i.e. the book. The Internet, she says, is "the perfect technology to address this." Von Veh referenced Brian O'Leary's oft-cited "Context, Not Container" about considering content separately from form and, like many other speakers, among them ex-Anthropology professor Corey Pressman, she referenced an oral storytelling tradition that "has a direct connection between audience and storyteller" and which is collaborative and social.
Speakers addressed standards, workflows, spreadable media, the novel as an ongoing project, a future that includes newspapers like the kind read by Harry Potter, the multi-media storytelling, paratext, in-text annotation, privacy law, transclusion, and books, according to John Maxwell of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, as "the refuge of all the arts against the nexus of time." I could spend pages telling you about systems that exist to annotate books, like the method used by Hypothes.is, in which books become a shared community of commentary (that secondary orality again). And I'm only just beginning!
Recordings of talks are available here.


Your skin is glowinggggggggg lady!!! I need to check out those blushes now! If only they had another Stila counter in town because I'm never in the Dundrums. Those pink lippies were made for you. They probably actually were because they know how much you love the brand and are essentially the PR for them in Ireland!
Bella indeed is a pretty one. I super love the shade and coverage is great as well. This is something worth trying out.

Find a taste of Staffordshire
Stone, which has already gained a widespread reputation as "the food capital of Staffordshire", will once again host the county's biggest gastronomic gathering at the Food and Drink Festival from October 4-6 in 2019.
But nearby Eccleshall is also gaining recognition as a satellite sweet-spot, offering beer, bakers and butchers…and even a chance to enjoy a cup of tea to a 1950s soundtrack.
Its already popular pubs and restaurants have been boosted recently by the appearance on its high street of a Belgian bar, artisan bakers, and an atmospheric 50s-style tearoom, not to mention a whole new range of butchery and bakery courses presented by Britain's Best Butcher.
The latest additions to the high street include Belgian Bar, 'Merckx', and the arrival of 'The Gingerbread Men' – a pair of acclaimed artisan bread-makers who, until recently, plied their trade in London and Manchester.
A little further down the Georgian high street, Betty B's opened in March, offering an irresistible mix of tea and cupcakes, and gin and cocktails – all set to a perfectly themed Fifties soundtrack.
And, from late summer 2019, Perrys of Eccleshall – named Britain's Best Butcher in the Countryside Alliance Awards – will launch a series of artisan butchery and cookery courses in a newly built specialist cookery school, in the town. (For further details visit https://perrysofeccleshall.co.uk/services-courses/).
Eccleshall is located seven miles north west of the county town of Stafford, about 15 minutes from Junction 14 of the M6. Twinned with Sancerre in France, it is also just seven miles from the main West Coast Line from London Euston
It first took prominence when it became important a market town for the surrounding area; and in 1153, it was granted the right to hold a weekly market. Eccleshall Castle – now a private family home, lived in by the Carter-Motley family for over one hundred years – briefly played a part in the War of the Roses, when it was used as a base for the Lancastrian Queen Margaret of Anjou and her troops before and after her defeat at the nearby Battle of Blore Heath in 1459.
In June 1643, the castle was besieged by Sir William Brereton and his Parliamentary forces. The Castle is currently not open to the public, but the gardens are occasionally opened to raise money for local charities.
Today, the town's high street has a lively collection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants. It has many Georgian and earlier buildings; is a conservation area; as well as a regular winner in the Britain in Bloom competition.
A Farmers' Market is held here every fourth Saturday of the month, and there is also an annual Eccleshall Show which will be staged, this year, on Saturday, August 31 https://www.eccleshallshow.co.uk.
The biannual Eccleshall Festival, meanwhile, will next be held in 2020.
Nearby 'attractions' include the Holy Trinity Church; The Gentleshaw Wildlife Centre at Fletcher's Country Garden Centre; Izaak Walton's Cottage; and Sugnall Walled Garden and Tearooms.
For walkers, there are over 130 public footpaths maintained by the Parish Council covering Eccleshall and the surrounding area.

Moross received an Oscar nomination for his score for The Big Country, a classic American Western directed by William Wyler and starring Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston and Carroll Baker.
Moross said he composed the main title after recalling a walk he took in the flat lands around Albuquerque, New Mexico, shortly before he moved to Hollywood in the late 1930s. In his handful of scores, Moross perfected an exciting rugged style inspired by his first experience of the Great Plains. An important and influential Western soundtrack.


Specsavers in Winchester has donated an estimated 3,000 pairs of unused glasses to the local Lions Club to help people in the third world gain better access to optical care.
The team has spent the year urging residents to drop off their unwanted specs at the store, which have been collected by the Lions Club in nearby Eastleigh for use in their annual SpecTrek event. The initiative sees around 50 Lions Clubs in Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire collect more than 100,000 unwanted glasses, which are then sorted and graded before being sent overseas.
Specsavers Winchester is continuing to collect glasses for Eastleigh Lions Club so if you have any old specs to spare, please donate them at the store today.


Harder Stadium was home to an estimated 8,000 concertgoers yesterday, as attendees rocked out to the sounds of Extravaganza 2008.
Sponsored by Associated Students Program Board, Extravaganza featured performances from Out of State, Saosin, Blue Scholars, Hellogoodbye and Nas. The event, which also featured activities like mechanical bull rides and a Guitar Hero booth, cost ASPB approximately $150,000 to organize.
The event peaked early in the evening as legendary underground hip-hop artist Nas took the stage for the final performance. As he launched into his set, billows of smoke rose over the gathered crowd and the audience crammed forward toward the stage, nearly overwhelming the barrier of security guards that blockaded it.
In between performing hits like "The World is Yours," and "Represent," Nas frequently addressed the crowd. In particular, he seemed to strike a chord with listeners when he pitched his plan for a utopian society centered around Isla Vista.
Daniel O'Connell, a fifth-year Japanese major, said Nas was by far the strongest act of the day and energized the entire audience with his hip-hop beats.
The gates to Harder Stadium opened at 1 p.m., and after passing through checkpoints staffed by Community Service Officers searching for drugs, weapons, alcohol and cameras, attendees were allowed to make their way towards the stage. Attendance was low in the early hours of the day as smaller acts like I.V.'s own Out of State preformed, but the crowd surged steadily with each subsequent act and reached its height during the Nas' finale.
In a backstage interview, Saosin drummer Alex Rodriguez said he was pleased with the both the beauty of the women and the fine dining venues in I.V.
The members of Saosin sparked up a playful banter with the audience during their time on stage, with lead singer Cove Reber openly discussing his personal grooming habits, the distinct scent surrounding the stage and fitting timing of the band's set.
First-year biology major Shirley Morrison said she enjoyed Saosin's set, though her thoughts on the performance were somewhat limited.
Meanwhile, first-year political science major Jon Berthet said, power pop band Hellogoodbye's performance was the climax of the day.
"I splooged when I saw Hellogoodbye," Berthet said.
According to University of California Police Dept. Sgt. Mark Vellekamp, Extravaganza proceeded without serious mishap.

Circumcision Ritual, Baby's Herpes Linked: Ancient Jewish Ritual Angers Public In NYC
Bradley Ryder
In the Big Apple, another controversial circumcision allegedly led to a baby contracting the herpes virus. According to the New York Daily News, a haredi mohel (Jewish ritual circumciser) performed the centuries-old ritual on a baby and transmitted the potentially deadly disease to the infant boy. Authorities believe the metzizah b'peh practice of circumcising a baby marks the fourth time in 2014 that a child contracted herpes simplex virus Type 1 (or HSV-1).
The aging practice essentially involves the removal of a newborn baby's foreskin. After the circumcision, a mohel or rabbi uses his mouth to suck away the blood from the child's bleeding penis.
Doctors warn of the dangers involved in potentially transmitting pathogens from mouth-to-genitalia, especially when bodily fluids — in this case, saliva and blood — are exchanged. Reportedly, the baby in question contracted neonatal herpes. Once the virus enters the host body, the person has it for a lifetime. While it can lay dormant, it never leaves the person's body. Studies point out that the virus increases a person's chance of developing Alzheimer's Disease or mental dysfunction later in life.
Health officials say 17 babies have contracted herpes and died after circumcisions since 2000. Each time, the metzizah b'peh ritual (or MBP) was involved.
In July, the Inquisitr reported on the deaths of two infant boys, who apparently died after contracting herpes. NYC officials contend that the ancient practice of Jewish circumcisions caused the boys' deaths.
In Western culture, the act of removing the foreskin of a newborn child is the subject of heated and ongoing debate. Doctors are split over the medical necessity and some MD's believe the surgery amounts to unneeded costs and subsidies. Moreover, some experts believe surgery for circumcisions may cause more harm than good.
It's important to note that this form of circumcision is not embraced by all members of the Jewish community. In fact, many who identify with the faith are firmly against the ages-old practice. Reports suggest that the metzizah b'peh, which is believed to have been performed on the baby in this case who contracted herpes, was performed by an ultra-Orthodox Jewish elder.
In this latest case of herpes contracted by a baby during the circumcision ritual, the parent brought the child to a doctor for fussy and colicky behavior. During the appointment, the doctor discovered lesions on the baby's penis that were consistent with the deadly neonatal strain.
Accordingly, he was rushed to the hospital and treated aggressively. Doctors used the timeline from the time the boy was circumcised to the moment he came down with symptoms. All altogether, it took about 12 days to make a diagnosis.
Many have spoken out against the practice, but some suggest it is difficult to enforce because officials have to walk a thin line on matters involving religion. During his campaign for mayor, de Blasio spoke out against circumcising babies, and he promised to make changes in the city's policy on circumcision if he was elected. However, critics point out that he has not taken up the issue so far.
"I would start over. Change the policy to find a way to protect all the children but also respect religious tradition in an appropriate manner and come Day 1 to City Hall with a new policy that's fair."
Various amounts of evidence claim to make connections with circumcision based on the ancient practice and babies diagnosed with herpes. However, elders claim there has been no conclusive evidence to support the attacks on the religious custom. Ironically, as the Jerusalem Post pointed out, the manner of circumcision with baby boys is not a mandatory Jewish rite based on biblical doctrine.
Share your take on this latest development. With the association between metzizah b'peh ritual circumcision and babies contracting herpes, should city officials outlaw the specific practice? Going one step further, do you believe all types of circumcision should be banned?

Title: Response of Psyttalia humilis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to olive fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) and conditions in California olive orchards
Yokoyama, Victoria
RENDON, PEDRO
WANG, XIN-GENG

Submitted to: Environmental Entomology
Publication Acceptance Date: 12/6/2010
Citation: Yokoyama, V.Y., Rendon, P.A., Wang, X., Opp, S.B., Johnson, M.W., Daane, K.M. 2011. Response of Psyttalia humilis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to olive fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) and conditions in California olive orchards. Environmental Entomology. 40:315-323.
Interpretive Summary: Over the past decade, olive fruit fly has become a devastating pest of olives in California. Although the pest is limited by high temperatures in the interior valleys where olives are produced for canning, the cool, coastal areas of the state provide a constant source of re-infestation. Biological control with an imported parasitoid from Guatemala has shown promise as an economical and sustainable method of pest control throughout the state. Studies in 2006-2007 demonstrated that the parasitoid developed successfully when released in several regions, and reproduced under adverse conditions during the winter showing that it can survive from year to year. The parasitoid was found to feed on scale honeydew and citrus juice, foods that may be readily available near olive groves. When food was available, high summer temperatures did not limit the peak period of female parasitoid reproduction. Exposure to bait sprays used to control olive fruit fly did not cause parasitoid mortality indicating that biological control was compatible with olive IPM programs. The work supports a $90 million olive industry in California, and the only source of domestic canned olives.
Technical Abstract: The larval parasitoid, Psyttalia cf. concolor (Szépligeti), reared on Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Weidemann), by the USDA-APHIS, PPQ, Guatemala City, Guatemala, was imported into California for biological control of olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin), in olives, Olea europaea L. Parasitoids (3,613-7,823) were released in Orland, San Juan Bautista, Cayucos, Sylmar, Santa Barbara, and San Diego during October through December 2006. The lowest (19%) and highest (61%) mean percentage of females was captured in traps on 8 to 15 December in Sylmar and 2 to 9 November in San Diego, respectively. The lowest (0.5) and highest (29.7) mean number of olive fruit fly adults per day per trap was captured in Orland and Sylmar, respectively. Mean daily temperatures at the locations ranged from 10.7ºC in Orland to 20.9ºC in San Juan Bautista. The lowest (0.01) and highest (2.21) number of third instars per fruit was collected on 9 November in Orland and on 5 October in San Diego, respectively. Lowest (0.3%) and highest (100%) mean percentage parasitism of olive fruit fly third instars occurred on 25 January in Sylmar and on 26 October in Cayucos, respectively. Parasitoids reared on olive fruit fly survived 36 d on honey, 31 d on orange juice and 28 d on honeydew, which was significantly longer than on cut olive fruit (8 d) or without food (11 d). Parasitoids reared on Mediterranean fruit fly survived 31 d on orange juice and 34 d on honey or honeydew. Under the high diurnal temperature regime, the parasitoid longevity was significantly different among water and food conditions, but not between females and males or between food and sexes. The parasitoids survived < 5 days when no food or when only water was provided. Honey and honeydew for food significantly increased the longevity of females and males. Parasitoid life-time fecundity was significantly different among water and food conditions. Water, honey and honeydew significantly increased parasitoid fecundity, when compared to no food. Percent mortality of parasitoid adults was not significantly different among four types of choice tests with artificial honeydew and GF-120.


Hi there! Im back from an amazing 3 week in Vietnam and Cambodia in which I cooked and ate like there was no tomorrow, trekked over mountains, swam in Halong Bay, rode through rice paddies, navigated a motorbike through Ho Chi Minh, climbed over the Angkor Wat temples during the Khmer new year and finished off in Phnom Penh in a fabulous resort by the pool. Stay tuned for upcoming posts on my adventures and lots of new recipes coming your way shortly.
To celebrate, Im launching a new regular post called The Weekend Warrior (by Iphone and Instagram) in which I'll report back on the weekend that was and that will hopefully give you some ideas for your own adventures for the next one. Some of my friends clearly consider me as one of these at times as I often pack so much into the weekend. Theres just something REALLY exciting about having a whole 48 hours ahead of me as of 5pm on a Friday to do whatever pleases me .
My weekend generally starts on a Thursday. How about yours? What is your idea of the perfect weekend in your little corner of the world? Mine always involves spending quality time with friends, sleep-ins, crossing town to discover something new, attending a market or festival or cooking/ having friends around for dinner and the occasional road trip. I live in the one of the best cities in the world, Melbourne and I intend to make the most of it, always. What about you?
As with numerous events in the Melbourne CBD, all the cool stuff happens in the hidden laneways dotted around the city. This festival is no acceptance and is a pop up event running every Friday & Saturday night for the next 4 weeks. It will be showcasing up and coming street artists (all work for sale on the night), tasty regional specialities like ox tacos, tequila cocktails, aztec beats and light projections. If you're feeling lucky you can also meet the local Shaman in residence to give you his blessing with the holy smoke and feathers. We stuffed our faces with the ox, pork and vegetarian tacos washed down with a pink magarita. Get in there muchachos!
Walking out of Mexico, we saw this door open and decided to find out what was at the top of the stairs. We were immediately reminded of being back in Willamsburg, NYC on a recent trip. Captains is a mix of cafe/bar, barber shop and tailor with an understated ease of service and effortless 'hip'. Massive bay windows look down onto the street while you get comfortable in your wooden chairs and kick back with whatever is on offer in the bar that night. If you're not a night owl or up for a haircut, you can visit during the day where the floor turns into a cafe. These guys have been around for quite sometime but still, this is great little discovery for future reference.
Feeling a little peckish after staying at Captains for much longer than anticipated (its just that kind of place) we headed over to 39+ Pizza for the Diavola. One of my favourite pizzas here with Italian salsa, chilli and salami. Even at 10pm the place is pumping but we manage to find a tiny table all the way down the back. Despite the crowd, service was quick and the pizza arrived soon after to be inhaled. These guys were voted 'best pizza in Melbourne, 2010' and its not hard to see why.
Having just come back from an amazing couple of weeks in Vietnam and learning how to cook Pho amongst other things, I was keen to try it out for myself. I headed to the Vic market for the fresh produce, then over to the Minh Phat Supermarket to scope out further ingredients. Picking up a few goodies, I decided to go home via the Victoria Street Vietnamese Groceries as I wanted to buy some noodle bowls for the pho and check out their fresh herb selection. Entering these groceries was just like being transported right back to Vietnam with that same market buzz. What was even more exciting was being in the market with fresh eyes, being able to recognise obscure herbs and ingredients and know exactly what to do with them. Even better, I picked these beautiful bowls for a steal!
My first attempt at making pho at home and I must say I was quite chuffed with the result! Stay tuned for my upcoming post and recipe for pho!
Where will your next weekend take YOU?
Love this post! I'm with you on the weekend starting from Thursday, it's my favourite day of the week. All of that weekend potential…sigh. If only it was Thursday today.
I'm now dreaming of pizza (+39: Best. Pizza. Ever.) and pho. Can't wait for the recipe!

Original 'Batman' Movies Set to Return to Theaters
By Matthew Aguilar - March 29, 2019 10:18 pm EDT
The next time Batman hits the big screen a new actor will be under the cape and cowl in Matt Reeves' upcoming The Batman, but the character already has a memorable legacy of movies under his belt, and now you have a chance to see some of those classic films back in theaters. Fathom Events announced that four of the classic Batman movies will be returning to theaters for one day only, and the list will definitely take DC fans back down memory lane with the movies that would help deliver the Dark Knight to mainstream audiences before there was ever a DC film universe.
It's all in celebration of Batman's 80th anniversary, allowing fans to see the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher takes on the character in theaters one more time (via ReRelease News). The list of Batman films includes Burton's Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) along with Schumacher's Batman Forever (1995) and the infamous Batman and Robin (1997), and you can check out the showtimes and dates below.
Batman (1989) - Saturday, May 4 - 1 PM and 4 PM
Batman Returns (1992) - Monday, May 6 - 4 PM and 7 PM
Batman Forever (1995) - Saturday, May 12 - 1 PM and 4 PM
Batman and Robin (1997) - Tuesday, May 14 - 4 PM and 7 PM
If you've got the time this kind of opportunity doesn't come around that often, so you might want to carve some time out of your schedule to catch one of these classic Batman films on the big screen. Well, classic for all the wrong reasons in Batman and Robin's case, though in a previous interview, George Clooney does credit the film with being a big influence on his career.
"It's really easy to pick: Batman & Robin," Clooney told THR. "That's not a joke. Up until that moment, I was an actor only concerned with finding work. After the failure of that film creatively, I understood that I needed to take control of the films I made, not just the role. My next three films were Out of Sight, Three Kings, and O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Will you be checking out any of the previous Batman films? Let us know in the comments and make sure to tell us which of the four are your favorites!

Home Legal Topics Employment Law Employee Rights Your Rights Against Workplace Discrimination & Harassment Other Types of Discrimination Religious Discrimination
Your Rights Against Religious Discrimination
Employers may not discriminate based on religion and must reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs.
By Lisa Guerin, J.D.
Federal law (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act) and the laws of most states prohibit employers from engaging in religious discrimination: making job decisions based on an employee's or applicant's religion or lack of religious beliefs. Title VII also prohibits workplace harassment on the basis of religion and requires employers to accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices, as long as it doesn't create an undue hardship.
Who Is Protected From Religious Discrimination?
Title VII applies to all government employers, whether federal, state, or local. It also covers private employers with at least 15 employees. Private and public employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor/management committees are all subject to Title VII, as well.
If you work or apply to work for a covered employer, Title VII protects your right to work free of discrimination based on religion. Many states have their own laws prohibiting religious discrimination at work, which may apply to smaller employers. To find out whether your state is among them, select it from the list on our Workplace Discrimination and Harassment page.
Employees and applicants are protected from discrimination based on their religious beliefs and practices. Employers also may not discriminate based on an employee's lack of religious belief: In other words, a religious employer may not refuse to hire an atheist or any applicant who is not a member of a particular religion.
An employee need not belong to a large, organized religion to be protected from discrimination. The employee's beliefs must only be religious in nature and sincerely held.
A belief is religious if it occupies the place of religion in the believer's own scheme of things. In other words, it must be meaningful; must concern "ultimate ideas" such as life, death, and purpose; and must fill, in the believer's mind, a place similar to that filled by "God" in traditional, organized religions.
An employee need not belong to a traditional, mainstream religion to be protected; sects, offshoots, and small groups are also covered. Even employees whose religious beliefs diverge from the teachings of the faith to which they claim allegiance are protected. For example, if you belong to a progressive Catholic church—which has different views on issues like women's ordination, celibacy, and gay rights than the Vatican—you are still protected from discrimination, even though your beliefs differ from the official doctrine of the Catholic Church.
Personal beliefs, even beliefs that are deeply held and important to the believer, are not necessarily religious. For example, economic, social, or political beliefs may be strongly held, but that doesn't make them religious in nature. Whether a belief or practice is religious depends on the motivation of the person who holds it. For example, one employee might wear a head covering at all times because her religion requires it as a form of modesty; another employee might wear a head covering because she is cold, is losing her hair, or simply likes the way it looks. The first practice is religious; the second is not.
Sincerely Held Beliefs
An employer must accommodate an employee's religious beliefs only if they are sincerely held. Often, nobody disputes that an employee's beliefs are sincerely held. When this issue comes up, it's typically because an employee wants an exception to the usual rules. For example, some employees with visible piercings or tattoos might tell an employer that it goes against their religious beliefs to cover or remove their tattoos and piercings, as required by the company's dress code. If the employer believes the employee is not acting on the basis of a true religious belief but is instead simply trying to avoid following the rules, the employer might argue that the employee's request is not based on a sincerely held religious belief.
Ultimately, the question of whether an employee has a sincerely held religious belief is determined on a case-by-case basis after looking at all of the facts and circumstances. However, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)—the federal agency that enforces Title VII—has enumerated some factors that might indicate that an employee's professed religious belief is not sincerely held:
whether the employee has behaved in a way that is markedly inconsistent with the professed belief
whether the employee is seeking a benefit that is likely to be sought for secular reasons
whether the timing of the request is suspect (for example, because it follows closely on the heels of the same employee's request for the same benefit for different reasons), and
whether the employer otherwise has reason to believe that the employee is seeking the benefit for secular reasons.
Types of Religious Discrimination
An employer may not discriminate against an employee or applicant based on that person's sincerely held religious beliefs. Harassment based on religion is also prohibited. And, unique among the types of discrimination Title VII prohibits, the ban on religious discrimination also requires employers to accommodate an employee's religion.
An employer may not make job decisions because of an employee's religion. For example, an employer may not refuse to hire Muslims, promote only Baptists, fire all Mormons, and so on. Employees who are not religious are also protected, if they are treated differently because of religion. For instance, an employer may not refuse to hire applicants who don't share the founder's religious faith or refuse to promote employees who are atheists.
Decisions based on religion are prohibited whether the employer approves or disapproves of the employee's beliefs. For example, an employer who promotes only Mormons discriminates just as much as an employer who refuses to hire any Mormons.
Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is so severe or pervasive as to create an intimidating, offensive, or hostile working environment. For example, if coworkers repeatedly make fun of, or make cruel comments about, an employee's religious beliefs, that could constitute religious harassment.
Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodation
Although Title VII prohibits employers from making decisions based on religion, it sometimes requires employers to accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices—in other words, to take the employee's religion into account when making decisions.
This apparent contradiction comes from the fact that religion is not a characteristic in the same way as race or age: Instead, it is a set of practices and beliefs. And, in some religions, believers want—or believe their religion requires them—to express their faith by, for example, not cutting their hair, wearing certain clothing or religious items, or telling others of their beliefs. An employer must accommodate religious beliefs unless doing so would pose an undue hardship. See our article on reasonable accommodations for religion in the workplace.

Manchester United vs Derby County Match Analysis
By Dillan - January 05, 2018
The first 80 minutes of this tie was painful to watch with United missing chance after chance. However, the deadlock was broken by (yes, you guessed it), Messi Lingard. Then Romelu Lukaku put the nail in the coffin for Derby with a late goal to secure qualification to the 4th round of the FA Cup.
We started the first half well, dominating possession of the ball and spending most of the time in Derby's half. The first chance of the game came to Lingard after some delightful footwork from Pogba, but the England international fired over the crossbar.
In the 21st minute, Juan Mata drew a brilliant save from Carson who managed to get a hand to Mata's goal-bound free kick.
Our clearest chance of the half came to Marcus Rashford, who is in desperate need of a goal. Mkhitaryan crossed the ball into the box but Rashford was unable to get the desired contact and hit the post. There is no doubt that he should have put us 1-0 up in the 35th minute. Moments later came a similar chance to the same player, but this time his header was on target, but straight at Carson.
Near the end of the first half, we came close again with another free kick, this time Paul Pogba was unable to get the better of Carson.
The first half finished 0-0 and it's fair to say that we should have been at least 2-0 up. Once again, poor finishing was an issue in and around the box with our players having a tendency to blast the ball way over the crossbar.
Mkhitaryan was replaced by Romelu Lukaku at half time. Things aren't looking good for Mkhi as today was possibly his last chance to impress Mourinho, but again he failed to perform.
We started the second half just as we ended the first. This time it was Juan Mata who's long range effort was saved by Carson. The ball then fell kindly to Pogba who curled the ball just past the far post.
After lots more frustrating attacks and long-shots, Marcus Rashford was unlucky to see his shot strike the post again from a tight angle in the 71st minute.
Minutes later, the post proved to be a nuisance once again, this time with Lukaku being denied by it after a delightful cross from Anthony Martial. However, the offside flag was raised.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 84th minute by our (recently crowned) December Player of the Month. With a similar finish to his goal against Everton a few days ago, Jesse Lingard managed to find the top corner once again today. There is no stopping this man at the moment! He just can't stop scoring!
In the 90th minute Romelu Lukaku sealed the win for Manchester United after some brilliant link-up play with Martial. On the counter attack, Lukaku surged forwards with Martial and after a neat one-two, slotted the ball past Carson to send us through to the 4th round of the FA Cup.
Overall, this was a frustrating game to watch with us failing to convert our chances. However, our persistence paid off when Lingard's moment of magic lifted Old Trafford. The main thing is that we are through to the next round of the FA Cup. After our disastrous exit in the Carabao Cup, it is clear that the FA Cup is our best chance of silverware this season.
Our next fixture is at home to Stoke City on Monday the 15th. The reverse fixture saw us drop points, but hopefully we have learned from our mistakes and can take the full 3 points this time.
Manchester United vs Leeds United Match Analysis

Photo Credit: thepeoplesperson.com
Making their second trip to the Optus Stadium in Perth after just 4 days, Manchester United defeated Leeds United 4-0 in what was a dominant and very impressive team performance. Ole started two different XI's for each half once again and gave almost every player in the squad a chance to impress and all gained match sharpness and fitness as a result. The only unused player within the named squad was Tuanzebe, with Luke Shaw out nursing a minor injury and Romelu Lukaku not involved as he allegedly pushes through a move away to Inter Milan.
First Half XI: Romero, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Bailly, Rojo, McTominay, Pogba, Greenwood, Mata, James, Rashford.
Second Half XI: J.Pereira, Dalot, Smalling, Jones, Young, Matic, A.Pereira, Lingard, Gomes, Chong, Martial
Goals: Greenwood, Rashford, Jones, Martial (pen) Assists: Wan-Bissaka, McTominay, A.Pereira, Chong

Perth Glory vs Manchester United Player Ratings
By Arion Armeniakos - July 13, 2019
Manchester United got their pre-season tour off to a cracking start with a comfortable 2-0 win over Perth Glory on Saturday. United fielded two different XI's in each half, in a game which gave the manager and the fans a chance to have a look at all of the players including their fitness levels ahead of a highly anticipated season.
Below are my player ratings for United's pre-season opener:
Romero - 6
As calm as a day in the office for the Argentine shot stopper, who other than a few routine catches, had virtually nothing to do.
Dalot - 7
The Portuguese wide man did not have enough to do defensively today to show any potential improvements from last season, but looked dangerous as always going forward down that right flank.
Tuanzebe - 7
A very comfortable return to United for the big centre back, showing composure on the ball while also retaining it quickly when pushing up into the middle of the park.
Jones - 7
As is the case for all of the defenders who featured today, United di…
Manchester United vs Leeds United Preview
Manchester United are set to take on Leeds United in their second preparation fixture tomorrow in what could become a pre-season grudge match between two old rivals.
United got their tour off to a successful start on Saturday after a solid 2-0 victory against Perth Glory with the goals coming from Marcus Rashford and James Garner. The Red Devils put themselves through their paces, showing off their already impressive fitness levels in the tour opener.
Leeds have just arrived in Australia for a double header against United and Western Sydney Wanderers. Their head coach, Marcelo Bielsa, elected to take half of his squad to Australia and leave the other half behind in England for extra fitness training. The Whites have already got two pre-season games under their belt, albeit against low-level opposition, meaning they could prove a good test to a United side that is still largely out of rhythm.

Today was the day United got their pre-season underway over in Australia. Fresh from a much needed summer break, United were looking to erase the memory of a disappointing 2018/19 season by putting down a marker against Australian A-League side Perth Glory. Ole will have been keen to use this game to get minutes in to the legs of all of the players in the squad and to build up their fitness ahead of the games coming up against better opposition as we approach the new season. The United manager decided the best way to do this was to field one team in the first half and a different team 11 for the second half.
First half XI: Romero, Dalot, Tuanzebe, Jones, Young; Andreas, Matic, Chong; Lingard, James, Martial
Second half XI: Pereira, Wan-Bissaka, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba, Mata; Gomes, Greenwood, Rashford
United started the game brightly, looking to press their opposition high up the pitch and when in possession moving the ball quickly, es…
Perth Glory vs Manchester United Preview
By Victor Immanuel Oloo - July 12, 2019
Manchester United return to the field after a long summer holiday. Some players were involved with their countries while others were just enjoying quality time off the pitch. The boys are back in training and as of writing this article, we have two signings in Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The game against Perth Glory is an opportunity for us to see what Ole Gunner's team will be made up of.

United's first half starting XI
Sergio Romero - 7.0 Sergio had a neat and tidy first 45 with some solid goalkeeping, including a crucial save with his feet when United were 1.0 up.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 8.0 Another impressive run out from United's new right-back signing, he was defensively sound snuffing out Leeds attacks down the left and making some crucial blocks and interceptions. He also put in a fine low cross for United's first.
Victor Lindelof - 7.5 Seems to be the leader in the back four during the first half, he marshalled the back line well, while looking good on the ball.
Eric Bailly - 7.0
He will have been happy to have come through 45 minutes unscathed. He partnered Victor Lindelof well, making some important interceptions.
Marcos Rojo - 6.5 Shoehorned in to the team today to get some minutes in to his legs, however left back is not really his position and offered the team very little.
Scott McTominay - 7.5 Scott showed great energy as always in United's midfi…
Dani Ceballos Player Analysis - An alternative to Fernandes and Maddison?
Image Credit: tbrfootball.com
Dani Ceballos is a 22-year-old Spanish central midfielder currently playing for Real Madrid, who recently won the U-21 European Championship with his national side.
His professional career started when he joined Real Betis in the 2013/14 season, before switching to Real Madrid in 2017/18, where he currently remains. He totalled 105 appearances for Betis in addition to 56 for Real Madrid and 35 for Spain (First squad + U-21 sides) respectively. His favoured position is in the '8' role in midfield, further forward than an defensive midfielder but not an out-and-out attacking midfielder. Across all of his starts last season, he started in the centre midfield '8' role in 65% of these matches (13), also playing a few in a more advanced midfield role (5) and 2 as a left forward.
Ceballos has received a lot of attention since his 'Player of the Tournament' award at the 2017 U-21 European Championships as well his his more recent 2 goals…
The Curious Case of Andreas Pereira

Andreas Pereira was signed as a youth player under manager at the time Sir Alex Ferguson in 2011, moving from the PSV Eindhoven youth side to Manchester United. He first appeared for the United first team in the 2014/15 season where he took part in one Premier League game as well as an EFL Cup game. He added another 11 appearances for the Red Devils moving into 2015/16, before loan moves to Granada and Valencia respectively over the following two seasons. He returned to Old Trafford last season and appeared 22 times during the season. Last week, he put pen to paper on a new contract keeping him at United for another 4 years.
There are only 3 things certain in life: death, taxes and Manchester Utd fans discussing Andreas Pereira in pre-season. Over his entire spell at Manchester United, he seems to have been caught in a ever-repeating circular current in which he is taken on the pre-season tour, given time to impress before then not being massively utilised by…
The Milinkovic-Savic Solution
By Woz Bridge - July 08, 2019

So Paul Pogba needs a new challenge somewhere else, which is ironic when you consider that he hasn't really risen to the challenge at Manchester United. While for the last three seasons he was clearly the United player with the most ability, you couldn't say that during that time frame he was the one most committed to the cause. Assuming that he does get his wish (along with a significant signing bonus to share with his agent), where exactly does that leave United? How do you replace a player who can do everything? To replicate the attributes which will be missing from midfield when Pogba leaves, Solskjaer may be forced to by two players and given the inflation in the transfer market right now United could end up spending more than they get for the Frenchman.
Is that true? Do we really need two players to replace Pogba? Alternatively, we could go for one player with two surnames:
Sergej Milinković-Savić is the latest name to roll off the produc…
Does Fred have a United Future?
By Conor Allatt - July 06, 2019
With the apparent upheaval of the Manchester United team and the rumours of multiple new signings in the United midfield, we have to question the future of last summer's only major signing - Fred.
There is no disagreement between Manchester United fans that it was a turbulent season last season for the whole club with the sacking of Mourinho and Solskjaer's hiring causing even more uncertainty. A player who epitomizes this turbulence is Fred, the United number 17 made 25 appearances for the Red Devils last season only contributed to 2 goals.
From the outside looking in, it would seem that the signing of Fred has been a flop, however with the case of Fred it isn't that simple. Under Mourinho, Fred hardely got a look in and even when he did his performances were average to below average at best. But this can also be seen with the performances of many of the United players under his reign last season. If we look at his performances under Solskjaer we can see a much improve p…

Mitrovic to Betis Off, Frey Unsure on Leeds & Hull After Wolves Striker: Championship News Roundup
Your day simply wouldn't be complete without a transfer roundup, would it?
Well, there's good news for you as, just like their Premier League counterparts, Championship clubs are in full swing as they look to bolster their sides with the necessary reinforcements to aid them in their upcoming plights in the second tier.
Fresh from the rumour mill like bread from the oven, these ones are warm and ready to get stuck into. So here's whats crack-a-lackin' in the Championship on Wednesday.
Real Betis Cancel Aleksandar Mitrovic Pursuit After Club Turn to Espanyol Forward
They've certainly had a fair crack at signing Mitrovic from Fulham, but evidently Real Betis' patience has worn thin.
After a couple of bids hovering around the €20m mark, a final offer was submitted by the La Liga outfit of €20m with bonuses, claim Estadio Deportivo, yet once again Fulham knocked back the approach for their Serbian frontman. Clearly fed up attempting to strike a deal with the Cottagers, Betis have instead activated the €28m release clause of Espanyol forward Borja Iglesias - all but ending their interest in Mitrovic.
Fulham are holding firm their desire to keep last season's top scorer, with Premier League duo West Ham and Southampton touted as options, after the west London outfit slapped a £30m price tag on Mitrovic's head.
Michael Frey 'Not Sure' About Championship Switch as Leeds & Middlesbrough Circle
24-year-old Frey is currently on the books at Fenerbahçe, but has failed to impress in Turkey since his €2.5m move from FC Zürich last summer.
Nevertheless, Leeds have been registered with an interest by the Yorkshire Evening Post, as Marcelo Bielsa looks to add some desperately needed firepower to his frontline. Similarly, Boro are keeping tabs on the Swiss striker, state Fotomac, as European sides look to offer the forward an escape route from the Super Lig.
However, any such interest may be in vain, with Belgian publication DH stating the player is 'not sure' on playing in the English second tier. DH's claims coincide with the paper listing Belgian sides Genk and Anderlecht as interested parties, with a fair amount of confidence the versatile forward will opt for Belgium over the Championship in what could be a fee worth around £3.5m.
Hull Eyeing Up Wolves Striker Alongside Spanish Interest
No, it's not Diogo Jota, Raul Jimenez, Ivan Cavaleiro or even Helder Costa for that matter.
Instead, Hull are keeping tabs on another striker currently on the books at Wolves, in the form of Rafa Mir. The Spanish forward has made just four appearances for Nuno Espirito Santo's side since signing from Valencia in January 2018, and was promptly sent on loan at Las Palmas for the 2018/19 campaign.
Seven goals in 30 outings has made the 22-year-old hot property, according to El Peridoco, who claim a number of Championship clubs have been offered the player, although only the Tigers were mentioned in the report. It is Wolves' preference to send the player on loan for another season, this time in England, although the same report mentions interest from Granada as well additional Spanish side.
With Hull in the middle of a potential sale of the club, loan deals seem the best option, with eight players leaving at the end of their contracts this summer.
Huddersfield Flop Ramadan Sobhi Set for Extended Al Ahly Stay
Initially joining Stoke with a huge reputation in 2016 for a fee worth £5m, much was expected of Sobhi after leaving Cairo-based Al Ahly. However, he never really set the Premier League alight, and after the Potters were relegated in 2018 he joined Huddersfield for £5.7m that summer.
Well, the extra £700,000 didn't seem to do the job, as he equally failed to make an impression in Yorkshire, with just four league appearances prompting the Terriers to ship him out on loan to previous club Al Ahly for a fee in the region of £800,000.
The 22-year-old's agent Nader Shawky has since spoken, revealing the negotiations between the two sides to keep Sobhi in Egypt are ongoing. He told Sada El-Balad, via Kingfut: "[...] What I can confirm is that Al Ahly are already taking the official steps to keep Ramadan at the club."
Shawky remained tight-lipped on whether the deal would be another loan or a permanent move, but either way it seems Sobhi's days at the John Smith's Stadium are numbered.
