The last Wednesday of April presented a bitter chill in the air for the start of another instalment of the annual Wynberg Boys Hockey Super Skills held at Wynberg Astro. A spin-off of Wynberg Cricket super skills – which is an adaptation of the Bob Woolmer-inspired international cricket super skills – hockey super skills is a platform which sees players participating in specifically-designed drills to test their scoring, dribbling, passing and eliminating-the-player abilities.
The chill was short-lived as 120 learners took to the astro turf to show off their skills. Junior schools from around the Western Cape joined in this action-packed evening of hockey and festivities; schools from as far as Hermanus and Durbanville turning out for the Wynberg Boys High School-hosted event, creating a buoyant atmosphere that helped them forget about the chill. Immense talent was witnessed- certainly a great sign for the future of hockey in our country.
As we neared the end of the evening, the final participating schools were announced with much anticipation. However only three schools could take home the title of winners of the respective age groups:
U11 – Kenridge
U12 – Wynberg Boys Junior School
U13 – Kenridge
It was an excellent evening all round and well done to those schools who won their respective age groups!
Thank you to Sporting Chance hosts Wynberg Boys High School and prise sponsors: Mr Price Sport, Peninsula Beverages and Highbury Safika for helping to showcase the talent that is in our schools.

Henry Tang, facing a public outcry over a basement built illegally, should quit the race to be Hong Kong’s next leader, according to two-thirds of respondents in a South China Morning Post poll.
The former chief secretary won the support of 16 percent of 506 respondents in the poll conducted on Feb. 20 and 21. Leung Chun-ying, a former government adviser, was favored by 63.9 percent, the paper said today. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
Tang, vowing to battle on, secured nominations from almost a third of the 1,200 member election committee this week as the scandal threatens to derail the ambitions of a candidate backed by the richest men in Hong Kong. His sinking popularity highlights the divide between business elites and residents, as surging property prices and a growing wealth gap stoke discontent.
“I think Henry Tang should withdraw from the race,” said Eric Cheung Tat-Ming, a member of the election committee representing lawyers. “The building of an illegal basement could be a criminal offence, and we can’t afford to have a top leader who is involved in a criminal investigation.”
This is the last time Hong Kong will pick its chief executive through an election committee, comprising tycoons, lawmakers and representatives from China, before moving to universal suffrage in 2017. The election is on March 25.
In the poll published today, 77.8 percent of the respondents said the scandal had a negative impact on Tang’s integrity. The proportion of those who want him to withdraw rose to 66 percent compared with 51.3 percent last week.
Li Ka-shing, Thomas Kwok and Lee Shau Kee, who control three of Hong Kong’s four biggest developers by market value, were among the 378 who supported Tang’s nomination to be chief executive, according to the nomination papers filed.
Tang, 59, was also nominated by Bank of East Asia Chairman David Li, Wynn Macau Ltd.’s Vice Chairman Allan Zeman, Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd.’s Deputy Chairman Francis Lui and Peter Wong, HSBC Holdings Plc’s Asia chief executive officer, according to the nomination papers.
Hong Kong newspapers, including Apple Daily and the South China Morning Post, reported that the basement, built without government approval, contained a wine cellar, wine-tasting room, movie theater and gym. An investigation is underway and Tang has said the basement was in a property owned by his wife.


Application of WPC Composite
Wood-plastic composite material is an environmentally friendly composite material made of wood fiber and plant fiber as the main raw materials, added with plastics and other chemical additives in a certain proportion, and extruded by high-temperature extrusion molds.
Ⅰ. About WPC composite
Wood-plastic composite material is an environmentally friendly composite material made of wood fiber and plant fiber as the main raw materials, added with plastics and other chemical additives in a certain proportion and extruded by high-temperature extrusion molds. Wood-plastic composite material has the dual advantages of wood and plastic at the same time, and it is a new environmentally friendly material that can replace wood, plastic, and metal. Compared with wood, wood-plastic composite materials have better environmental performance and processing performance, making this material more and more popular and promising in the market.
Ⅱ. The application of WPC composite
1. Packaging products such as wood-plastic pallets and packing boxes. The application of WPC composite materials in the packaging industry is mainly pallets, packaging boxes, containers, and so on. Taking pallets as an example, wood-plastic pallets have already accounted for nearly half of the market.
2. Storage products such as planking and beam laying. Wood-plastic composite materials are mainly used in shelf paving, sleepers, beams, flooring, etc. used in the storage industry because of their moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, and insect resistance.
3. Outdoor plank roads, pavilions, chairs, and other urban construction supplies. Pavilions, chairs, flower pots, trash cans, etc. made of wood-plastic composite materials are waterproof, moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, and have a long life and low price. More than 70% of roadside chairs are made of WPC composite materials.
4. Building materials such as houses, floors, and building templates. In recent years, more and more products such as houses, outdoor floors, sunrooms, docks, and guardrails made of wood-plastic composite materials have been used.
5. Car interior decoration, pipes, and other products. With the continuous improvement of people's understanding of wood-plastic composite materials, the technical level of wood-plastic composite materials has been continuously upgraded, and the application fields of products have been continuously expanded in recent years. The application of wood-plastic composite materials has moved from the demonstration stage to the application test stage for products such as automobile interior decoration, composite pipes, railway sleepers, car box panels, cable protection pipes, and manhole covers. We believe that in the near future, the application areas of wood-plastic composite products will continue to expand.

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
I knew this was a ghost story, of sorts, so I started it bright and early yesterday morning, and became so engrossed in the story that I almost, almost, finished it last night. leaving nothing but 3 of the last 4 conclusion chapters for me to read today.
Mary Roberts Rinehart was an excellent writer; that her genius has been so far forgotten today is a tragedy. The Red Lamp was originally written in 1925, and putting aside the lack of technology and the beautifully elegant writing that today might be considered a tad verbose, the story holds up perfectly; it would take very little to make this story 'modern'.
The Red Lamp is complex to the point of labyrinthine though. Like the main character, I stumbled through the story in ignorance. Some of this was by design, as the mc is meant to be a spectator not an active participant in solving the crimes, but some of it was because there was just so much going on and that beautifully elegant writing of Rinehart's made for easy camouflage of any clues.
The book is, with the exception of the introductory and final 4 chapters, purely epistemological, with no chapters, just journal entries. This style doesn't always lend itself to a submersive experience for the reader, but these journal entries are detailed enough that it makes almost no difference from a first person narrative.
The ghostly part of the story, in spite of the enormous potential for scarring the spit out of me, were subdued enough that they never raised so much as a hair. This was a wee bit disappointing, I admit, but it didn't adversely affect the story; they were never the point of the book, it was always about the mysterious killings and there was never doubt that those killings were done by a very corporeal being.
All in all, this was an excellent mystery. I'd recommend this to anyone curious about Golden Age Mysteries who might be hesitant fearing dry or dated story-telling. While not perfect, The Red Lamp is most assuredly neither dry nor dated.

In a world first Saudi Arabia has granted citizenship to Sophia the humanoid robot despite the nation still restricting women’s rights.
The announcement that Sophia the robot will become the first humanoid to be granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia has fuelled outrage on social media over the unequal treatment of women in the Arab nation.
Sophia spoke at the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, designed to connect wealthy Saudis with investors.
With life-like human expressions and the ability to answer questions, Sophia addressed the audience at the conference to help shape the country’s future.
“Thank you to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” the robot, designed by Hanson Robotics, told the crowd.
“It is historic to be the first robot in the world granted citizenship.”
Despite impressing authorities, social media reacted with anger at the government for awarding citizenship to a ‘female’ robot when women are still denied basic liberties in the Gulf nation.
“Women (in Saudi Arabia) have since committed suicide because they couldn’t leave the house, and Sophia is running around,” Ali Al-Ahmed, director of the Institute for Gulf Affairs, told Newsweek.
“Saudi law doesn’t allow non-Muslims to get citizenship,” he added.
“Did Sophia convert to Islam? What is the religion of this Sophia and why isn’t she wearing hijab? If she applied for citizenship as a human she wouldn’t get it.”
The robot already displayed more freedom than afforded to millions of women in Saudi Arabia when it appeared on stage without wearing a full-length black abaya, which is intended to protect women’s modesty in public.
Women in Saudi Arabia are still not able to mix freely with members of the opposite sex, apply for a national identification card or passport without the permission of a male and face formal and informal barriers when making decisions.
They face extreme difficulty when it comes to transactions such as renting an apartment or filing legal claims, according to Human Rights Watch.
The United Nations Committee has called for the government to abolish the “male guardianship system” with Saudi officials pledging to afford women with more rights.
In April 2017, King Salman issued an order that women should not be denied government services because they did not have approval from a male guardian “unless there is a regulatory obligation for this request”, it is yet to be enforced.
Historic moves for the nation have included allowing women to drive for the first time next year and to allow women to attend sporting events in 2018.

The water loss is small and can effectively reduce the drifting phenomenon.
The water trap is arranged in the cooling tower to collect the dripping droplets entrained in the tower gas stream.
The multi-dimensional water collector is widely used in the environmental protection purification towers such as spraying and defogging, and the water discharge obstructs the untreated clean exhaust gas to quickly flow out, thereby enhancing the purification treatment effect.
The multi-dimensional water trap is a device that reduces the large amount of fine water droplets drifting from the cooling tower and discharges the hot and humid air, prevents water mist pollution and icing on the surrounding environment, saves water and protects the environment.


In the Fab Lab
When Makeda Stephenson compared flight simulator games sold in computer stores and didn't find anything she liked, she didn't stop there.
The 13-year-old used a set of computer-controlled manufacturing tools at a community centre in Boston to make her own simulator - one that lets her "fly" an airplane of her design over an alien planet born of her imagination.
In a room filled with computers and tabletop-size manufacturing equipment, Stephenson created a pilot's control yoke with motion sensors she fashioned from a melange of old electronic toys and parts. A computer program she wrote with help from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology guides the plane's movements on her computer screen.
She did it all through a teen learning program at one of seven so-called Fabrication Labs that MIT has established in places as distant as Norway and Ghana. Each lab has tool sets that, at about $US25,000 ($34,000), would be out of reach of most fledgling inventors.
Advocates of such Fab Labs think they have the potential to vastly expand the creative powers of tinkerers and usher in a revolution in do-it-yourself design and manufacturing that can empower even the smallest of communities.
"If you give people access to means to solve their own problems, it touches something very, very deep," says Neil Gershenfeld, an MIT physicist and computer scientist who is among the movement's chief proponents. "Somehow it goes back to nest-building, or mastering your own environment.
"There's this deep thing inside that most people don't express that comes tumbling out when they get access to these tools," he says.
Fab Lab output can be practical, or whimsical. Herders in northern Norway erected a telecommunications network to track their sheep's wanderings with radio antennas and electronic tags. In India, farmers created measurement tools to ensure a safe milk supply and measure fat content, and women found a way to scan and print carved wooden blocks used for a local kind of embroidery. In a separate project, villagers designed small LED lights for use in areas lacking electricity.
Villagers in Ghana harnessed solar power to make electricity and cook food rather than relying on firewood. On the fanciful front, a teenage girl in Boston created a diary security system that photographs anyone coming near the owner's private writings - say, a nosey brother. And an MIT student created something called ScreamBody - a backpack-size wearable air chamber into which someone can voice a muffled scream in a public place. The scream is recorded for subsequent "release" in private.
MIT's Centre for Bits and Atoms began setting up Fab Labs three years ago as free community resources, using part of a $US12.5 million National Science Foundation grant and local financing.
Each lab is equipped with commercially available tools, including a laser cutter and milling machine to carve out two- and three-dimensional parts; a sign cutter for creating graphics or plotting flexible electronic circuits; and electronic assembly tools.
Open-source software and MIT-written programs control the devices, machining parts to tolerances that once could be achieved only using equipment costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Citizen inventors with only modest technical expertise swap ideas with counterparts at other Fab Labs around the world by electronically sharing design blueprints or going to a Fab Lab website (fab.cba.mit.edu) that offers project ideas.
"In a sense, this is like open-source software, but for hardware," Gershenfeld says.
Industrial designers say such ventures hold great promise. "I'm not worried about being out of a job, but I think there would be new uses for this technology that people can't even imagine," says Gianfranco Zaccai, president of Design Continuum, a Boston-based design and development firm. "It might be a harbinger for the return of the village craftsman in a world of high technology."

ADB calls for more efforts from Pacific members to adapt to extreme weather
MANILA, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Thursday urged Pacific members to step up their efforts to adapt to more extreme weather conditions and mitigate disaster risks to improve the region's economic growth and development projects.
The ADB's Pacific Economic Monitor, a bi-annual review of economic developments and policy issues in ADB's 14 developing members in the Pacific, warns that climate change could derail economic progress in the Pacific.
The Pacific is among those parts of the world most vulnerable to weather-related disasters.
"Many Pacific countries have taken steps to improve resilience, such as integrating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction into their national policies, climate-proofing infrastructure, and building financial resilience," said Carmela Locsin, director general of ADB's Pacific Department.
However, "more innovative approaches and greater institutional capacity can help to respond comprehensively to climate change risks," she said.
The sub-region's growth outlook for 2018 is adjusted downward slightly to 3.2 percent, due largely to dampened economic prospects for some of the North Pacific and small island economies.
The report warns that looming risks could dampen global economic gains.
"With better-than-expected momentum in the first half of 2017, higher world economic growth is now projected for the full year and 2018. However, medium-term risks such as tighter monetary policy, inward-looking policies, and persistently low inflation in advanced economies persist," the report says.
A topical policy brief in the report discusses ADB-supported efforts to promote low-carbon development, climate-resilient infrastructure, regional knowledge-sharing, and innovative financing solutions in the Pacific.
It also provides a toolkit of options to build financial resilience to the impacts of climate change.
The report stresses the need to expand climate finance, adding that financial resilience is a key component to climate change response.
"A range of options, most recently disaster-continent lines of credit and sovereign on regional insurance schemes, can be tapped to help Pacific economic recover from climate change impacts," the report says.[ Editor: meng ]

If you are looking to add weight, then you need to start eating a lot of calorie-dense foods. These are foods that have high amounts of calories. Calories are the amount of energy released when food is broken down by the body. Foods that have more calories realise more energy when they are digested and absorbed by the body.
Foods have varying amounts of calories. Some have low amounts while some are packed with calories. Eating foods that are high in calories have been linked to weight gain. This is why people looking to lose weight are advised to stay off certain foods, most of which are rich in calories.
But if you want to add on a few pounds, calorie-dense foods are what you need and in this article, we would be going over a few of them.
Here are 10 calorie-dense foods in Nigeria.
Yam is a starchy stable that is found in all parts of Nigeria. It is very rich in carbohydrates and has a high amount of calories. Yam can be enjoyed in different ways. You can boil it, fry it, or pound it.
A serving of boiled yam (136g) contains up to 158 calories, and most people won’t stop at one serving, and the amounts of calories would vary depending on the kind of yam, as well as other factors.
2. White Rice
White rice is rice that has been processed. This means it does not have all parts, like the germ and bran, and so is not a whole grain, unlike brown rice. But while it may lack some things, white rice is very rich in calories.
Beans is another food that has high amounts of calories. A rich source of plant protein, beans is also rich in carbohydrates and is a good source of energy. 100g of beans could have as much as 300 calories.
4. Moi Moi
Moi Moi is a dish made from steaming beans that has been grinder to a paste. Other ingredients can be added to the mix to make it taste better. This means it contains more calories than regular boiled beans.
5. White Bread
White bread is bread made from white flour, which is used to make a lot of pastries we have in Nigeria. This type of flour has high amounts of calories, unlike whole-grain wheat flour.
White bread contains a lot of calories and people who are trying to lose weight are advised to avoid this type of bread.
A popular type of white bread in Nigeria is agege bread.
Swallow here refers to staples like akpu or fufu, amala, eba, and semolina. These foods are rich in carbs and packed with calories. This is why people are advised not to eat them at night before bed, as this can lead to unwanted weight gain.
Mayonnaise is a creamy sauce used in dressing salads. It is widely consumed and sold in Nigeria. Mayonnaise is made with eggs that are rich in proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It is a calorie-dense food ingredient, as there are about 680 calories in 100 grams of mayonnaise.
8. Groundnut Paste
Groundnut paste, also known as the Nigerian peanut butter, is a thick, delicious creamy food ingredient primarily made from groundnut.
It is also called Okwu Ose, Okwu Oji, and Ose Oji by Nigerians and can be used as a dessert, especially with garden eggs.
Groundnut paste is nutritious and contains healthy fat. It is also high in calories. In fact, 100 grams of groundnut paste contains 580 calories.
Shawarma is another popular food in Nigeria that is calorie-dense. It is basically a type of sandwich that is made with roasted meat that is shaved off a rotating spit.
A wrap of shawarma wrap contains approximately 400 to 1000 calories. However, the calories in shawarma depend on the ingredients used for preparation.
Most meats consumed in Nigeria contain a lot of fat and are quite high in calories.

The Rare Case Where the “N” Word Did Not Create a Hostile Work Environment
(This case summary comes with the warning: “Don’t try this at in your workplace.”) As we have previously discussed (in our September 2022 E-Update and March 2022 E-Update, for example), courts are quick to find that the single use of the “N” word in the workplace can create a hostile work environment under Title VII. But a recent case bucked that trend – although based on circumstances that were very specific to the situation.
In Scaife v. United States Dept. of Veterans Affairs, an African American employee sued her employer for hostile work environment harassment, based in part on a department lead’s calling her the “N” word outside her presence. In order to create a hostile work environment under Title VII, the conduct at issue must be sufficiently severe or pervasive. As a general matter, courts have found that the single use of the “N” word meets that standard.
In this case, while acknowledging that the “N” word is “an egregious racial epithet” and that “a one-time use of the epithet can in some circumstances warrant Title VII liability,” the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit did not find such circumstances to exist here. Rather, because the employee heard about the slur from a co-worker, the Seventh Circuit stated that “Although racial epithets do not always have to be stated directly to a plaintiff to create an objectively hostile work environment, remarks that are stated directly to the plaintiff weigh heavier than when a plaintiff hears them secondhand.” Additionally, the employee heard about the slur months after it was made. Moreover, the individual making the slur, although a high-ranking department lead, did not have direct supervisory authority over the employee. And the Seventh Circuit also dismissed the department lead’s history of racial insensitivity, noting that, “While of course relevant, ‘second-hand harassment’ is not as great as the impact of harassment directed at [the employee] herself.”
While the employer in this case avoided hostile environment liability, we nonetheless warn employers that they should never tolerate such language in the workplace.

Nigeria: Nalda Launches 35 Ha Livestock Farm In Imo State
Nigeria's National Agricultural Land Development Authority (Nalda) has inaugurated an integrated livestock farm in Imo State in the south of the country. The 'Achara-Ubo' farm covers 35 hectares. It includes six chicken houses, three goat houses and three pig pens housing 15,000 birds, 196 ruminants and 108 pigs respectively.

Her mother’s accusations sliced through her misery like a surgeon’s blade. She leaped down the last two steps of the staircase listening to the charges behind her, “You killed him! You killed him!”
There were no streamers wrapped around the rails of the banister, or balloons scattering when she whisked through the foyer. There was no evidence of wadded gift paper, bows, or ribbon. There weren’t sixteen candles with icing licked dry from the ends, not even a Happy Birthday banner with her name, Krista, scrawled across its face.
She grabbed the keys from the entry table and tugged the vault heavy door open with both hands. Needles of chills stabbed through her thin cotton shorts and t-shirt when she flew out onto the porch of the brownstone and into the rain-washed San Franciscan evening.
Fear whistled through her veins as she stumbled onto the narrow brick path. Krista’s emotional state stung worse that her scrapped knees. With unforgiving determination, she sprung to her feet and whipped open the squeaky iron gate. The shrill of her mother’s persistent cries neared, “You killed him! You killed him!”
Sprinting around her father’s Corvette parked alongside the curb, Krista noticed the silhouette of a hooded person and canvas covered shopping cart under a dim lit lamp post across the street. It was the same man who had peered up through her third story window for as long as she could remember. He exuded an energy of comfort and solace, the only hint of love in her life.
But tonight, that energy had been washed away. The moment she had dropped the carving knife, leaving her father twisted on the second story landing, she knew her life was about to change. “Come back here you demon!” her mother screamed.
Krista brushed the wet strands of hair off her face and climbed into the car. Her mother stood in the glow of the doorway, screaming and waving gestures. The Corvette ignited into life. Before rocketing into the night, she took one last glance at the man under the lamp post and prayed for one last ray of hope.
She white knuckled the steering wheel, putting her weight on the gas pedal. Rubber spun through the water until gripping the asphalt and sling-shooting into action. Standing in the middle of the street through the rearview mirror, her mother’s fiery red hair and scorching words drowned in the faded distance. “You killed him! You killed…!”
The coffin-sized car whipped and weaved down the neighborhood street, nearly colliding with parked cars along the curb. She haggled with the steering wheel while searching for the elusive windshield wiper knob. The rapid movement of the speedometer diverted her attention. Forty…fifty…sixty.
Did I do it? How could I do something so evil? Had the abuse become more than I could handle? The event became a blur. Question after question haunted her. Out of nowhere she heard a voice. “Slow down.” She cranked her head to the passenger seat but saw no one. The disembodied voice warned again, “Slow down, Krista.”
Ridden with terror, she yelled. “Who’s there?! Who is that?!”
She brushed her spilled hair from her tearstained face and stared through the sheets of water distorting her vision through the windshield. The floorboard shuddered from the watery beating underneath the car. Water lapped the sides like wings of a mythical menacing creature cutting through the air.
Would tonight be the night her body joined her spirit that had died long ago? Where would she go, Heaven or home? She prayed for the ability to forgive, but it lay buried, dormant beneath hate and anger.
Attempting to focus, she perched her chin over the top of the steering wheel. Up ahead, an obscure red light grew larger as she neared. Larger and larger it grew. She glanced down at the speedometer. Seventy…Eighty.
I couldn’t possibly have killed my father, he loved me. He never hurt me. He was tender, his voice soothing, compassionate. The red light had become the size of a beach ball. She thrust the weight of her leg onto the brake pedal and sunk into the back of her seat. The three-hundred and seventy horse powered Corvette spun like an out of control twister in Kansas. Revolution after revolution, too many to count. A period of darkness, then the red traffic light. Over and over. Black. Red. Black. Red.
She turned the wheel as far as it would go, but the car proved relentless as it hydroplaned over the tsunami of water and into the intersection. There was nothing Krista could do when she heard the steady blast of the horn coming from an uncertain direction. The two beams of light cascading toward her added to the visual spectacle, making her nauseous.
Like the slow motion of her sixteen years, so was the impact of the two cars. Krista’s face dissolved into a contorted grimace with each sound of crunching and twisting metal. Her head jerked forward as she was catapulted from her seat. Like a rag doll, her body flew over the steering wheel, crashing through the windshield. Dime-sized shards of glass cut through her young tender skin as her body knifed through the torrential rain storm.
There were no flashes of memories racing through her mind. There was no bright light shining down to lift and carry her away. The only object she noticed was the red traffic light staring down at her as she soared through the air.


Are the Jets the worst team in the NFL?
The 2020 New York Jets might just be the worst team in the history of the NFL . It has taken some time for that possibility to become a reality, but 10 games into the 2020 season, and the Jets have little to nothing to hang their hats on.
Why are they called the Jets?
A five-man syndicate, headed by Sonny Werblin, saved the team from certain bankruptcy, purchasing the lowly Titans for $1 million. Werblin renamed the team the New York Jets since the team would play in Shea Stadium near LaGuardia Airport. The new name was intended to reflect the modern approach of his team.
How did the Jets lose?
The New York Jets finally got the monkey off their back in Week 15 by winning their first game of the 2020 season. On Sunday, Sam Darnold and Co. defeated the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 23-20.
Who did the Jets win against?
With a 23-20 upset of the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the Jets (1-13) relinquished their front-runner position for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
Can the Jets go 0 16?
The Jets go into this week’s bye at 0-9 and as the NFL’s only winless team, a distinction they’ve owned since late October. And really, that’s going to be the challenge as the Jets try to avoid joining the 2008 Detroit Lions and the 2017 Cleveland Browns as the only 0-16 teams in NFL history.
Are the 2020 Jets the worst team ever?
Yes, even worse than our 2008 Detroit Lions who managed to go completely winless. When given the choice of the 2020 Jets , the 2008 Lions, and the 2017 Browns team that also failed to win a game, 53 percent of voters picked the Jets as the worst team ever .
How much would it cost to buy the Jets?
In 2000, Woody Johnson bought the Jets for $635 million . Since then, the team has doubled in value, according to Forbes. The Jets are worth $1.23 billion , ranking 12th on the magazine’s list of the 50 most valuable sports franchises in the world.
What NFL teams no longer exist?
Five defunct NFL franchises (the Akron Pros /Indians, Canton Bulldogs , Cleveland Bulldogs /Indians, Frankford Yellow Jackets, and Providence Steam Roller ) had previously won NFL championships. The most recent franchise to become defunct was the Dallas Texans , which folded in 1952 after one season in the league.
How much are the jets worth?
New York Jets, $3.2 billion The Jets are the second most valuable franchise in New York, at $3.2 billion . The Jets are projected to earn $475 million in revenue in 2019.
How many Super Bowls did Jets win?
1969 16-7 – Baltimore Colts
Who is QB for Jets tonight?
How did the Jets lose the number one pick?
Jets Beat Rams, Lose Pole Position for No. 1 Pick The Jets snapped a 13-game losing streak on Sunday as Sam Darnold led the way to a 23-20 victory over the Rams, raising New York’s record to 1 –13 in 2020. New York still sits in the AFC East cellar entering Week 16, and no team in the NFL sports a worse record.
How many games have the Jets lost?
The New York Jets have won one National Football League championship in Super Bowl III. In their 60 seasons history, they have an overall regular season record of 408 wins, 500 losses, and 8 ties. They have made 14 postseason appearances, and have an overall postseason record of 12 wins and 13 losses.
Did the Jets win or lose today?
The biggest winner of Sunday’s Jets -Rams game was not the Jets , who beat L.A. 23-20 to win their first game of the season. Instead it was Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the presumptive no. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft.
Can the Jets still get the first pick?
Despite last week’s outcomes, the Jets can still get back into position to obtain the No. 1 overall pick . The Jets and Jaguars’ Week 16 games are two of the five matchups that will help determine which team gets to pick first in the 2021 draft.

Joe got down from the train. He knew he had very little time. He started to run, making his way through the crowd with great agile. He climbed three steps at a time, he had no time to walk, staring at the strange faces. He got out of the station, picked up his pace; he knew he has only few minutes. His heart pounding fast, adrenalin rushing to his head, he ran, ran like the wind.
He was running on the sidewalk like a mad man chased by an ogre craving for blood. He pushed himself to run faster, he has to make it in time. Just around the corner was the coffee shop which was almost like his second home. He spent most of his time from office here. This is where he met Rachel. He had a date tonight. He saw her through the window. She caught sight of him. Joe slowed down.
A woman with a baby carriage was moving across him. She was totally fixed on the baby and wasn’t aware of the speeding Joe-truck. Joe calculated his steps. When he was close to carriage, he sprang like a wild cat. He cleared the carriage clean. Rachel was startled she stood up and waved at him. Joe took no notice of her. He started picking up his pace again. He ran with every ounce of energy left in his body.
Joe got to his house. He threw the doors open. Within seconds a beastly holler so sickening was heard. Then aaaaaughhh….. A humongous sigh of relief….
This guy gave me the idea...

Majolica ware is believed to have been introduced from Moorish Spain by way of the island of Majorca, and produced in Italy from the 14th century. Its popularity spread throughout the world, and exceptional examples can be found originating from several points in Europe, Britain and North America. In the 19th century there was a revival, which came to be known in English-speaking countries as Victorian majolica, with much use of molded surfaces and colorful glazes that remains popular today.

This blog is a continuation of the Europe blogs the office has run over the last three years. Whereas last year’s blog Young Voices of Europe was a forum for a group of young people from Germany and the south of Europe to write from their perspective as young Europeans; this year’s blog will be staffed with professional writers. The best young blogger of last year’s blog will be added to the ‘crew’.
Our blog will focus on the question what reforms and actions are needed to reshape the European Union, its institutions and policies in a way that makes them more democratic, transparent and efficient.
The writers are asked to comment on what is going on in Europe and present their own visions regarding three main challenges: the economic and social state Europe is in and how it can be improved (eurozone, (youth) unemployment, economic growth, the gap between centre and periphery); the shape of Europe as a foreign policy actor (reorganisation EEAS, Ukraine and Eastern Partnership, relationship Russia; Syria/ Middle East) and the state of democracy in Europe (democratisation and transparency of European institutions, challenge of right-wing populism and extremism, the “backsliding”of “new member states”, security and democratic rights; possibly migration and asylum policy).

This is the diagram of heat detector circuit which already integrated with siren circuit in the output. This circuit applies a complementary pair comprising NPN metallic transistor T1 (BC109) and PNP germanium transistor T2 (AC188) to detect heat (because of outbreak of fire, for example) in the area and activate a siren/alarm. The collector of transistor T1 is joined towards the base of transistor T2, while the collector of transistor T2 is joined to relay RL1.
The 2nd section of the circuit consists of well-known IC UM3561 (a siren and machine-gun sound generator IC), which is able to generate the sound of a fire-brigade siren. Pin numbers 5 and 6 of the IC are joined towards the +3V supply once the relay is in activated state, whereas pin 2 is grounded. A resistor (R2) joined across pins 7 and 8 is utilized to deal with the frequency of the inbuilt oscillator. The output is obtainable from pin 3.
Two transistors BC147 (T3) and BEL187 (T4) are joined in Darlington configuration to boost the sound from UM3561. Resistor R4 in series with a 3V zener is utilized to deliver the 3V supply to UM3561 when the relay is in activated state. LED1, joined in series with 68-ohm resistor R1 across resistor R4, glows once the siren/alarm is activated.
To check the operating of this circuit, provide a burning matchstick near to transistor T1 (BC109), that causes the resistance of its emitter-collector junction to go low because of an increase in temperature and it will begin conducting. At the same time, transistor T2 also conducts since its base is joined to the collector of transistor T1. Because of this, relay RL1 activates and switches on the siren circuit to generate loud sound of a fire-brigade alarm.
Below table is the possible sound effects generated by UM3561:
This heat detector + siren circuit already tested and it is working.


Have we got an interesting phone comparison today – the newly announced pair from Xiaomi – the Mi Note goes up against the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro in a battle to see which one reigns supreme. Okay, not really…we already know which one is the king and queen in this roundup, but this gives us a way to let our readers know exactly how much alike these two devices really are. However, it will also give us a chance to show you what the ‘Pro’ has to offer that the regular Mi Note does not.
Xiaomi is a Chinese company that has rocketed to the top of smartphone sales in China – pushing out Samsung, Apple and other Chinese rivals like Huawei and ZTE. They patterned the design of their smartphones a lot after the Apple iPhone…and they make no apologies. The devices, up until this point, were high quality and low to a reasonable price with all sales online and shipped directly to the purchaser. With the new Mi Note and Mi Note Pro, Xiaomi has raised the bar and are now offering high specs to go along with their high quality and lower pricing.
As you can see from the picture above, the devices are identical on the outside – except the Mi Note Pro can also have gold trim, in addition to the standard chrome. The real differences are on the inside, which I will go over under each individual device listed below. So please, first take a close look at the detailed Specification chart below and after you look those over, work your way down to the Summary, where we will pick the winner of this comparison.
Xiaomi Mi Note
The Xiaomi Mi Note is a thing of beauty – it uses 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 for the display and 3D Gorilla Glass 3 for the back of the device and a metal strap holds it all together. What all this 2.5D and 3D means is that on the display the glass is angled down slightly towards the metal band and on the back the glass is actually curved up all around the edges to form something like a ‘cup’ shape that goes up to meet the same metal band. This combination forms a smooth, rounded and polished look, making it very comfortable to hold and giving it a very premium look.
The Mi Note sports a 5.7-inch IPS LCD Full HD (FHD) display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 386 pixels-per-inch (PPI) for a beautiful viewing experience. It comes with a 32-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor clocked at 2.5GHz and hooks itself up to 3GB of RAM and options of either 16GB or 64GB of onboard internal storage – there is no room for expansion.
The camera area is taken care of in good fashion – the main shooter has a 13MP sensor, autofocus, OIS and a dual-tone flash. The 4MP front-facing camera (FFC) is more than capable of taking great social media selfies or an occasional video chat. The 3000mAh battery should easily get you through a full day. It has the usual Dual-Band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1 LE and a microUSB connector for charging and data transfer.
It measures 155.1mm in height x 77.6mm in width and 7mm in thickness and weighs in at 161 grams. Because of the Qualcomm 800 series processor, it is equipped with Quick Charge 2.0. The Mi Note also has an extra microphone for noise cancellation and Enhanced audio for its large, bottom mounted speaker. It has a Dual-SIM for travel in different countries, which is very common in smartphones sold outside the US.
The Mi Note is running Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Xiaomi’s own MIUI 6 shell on top. You have your choice of Black or White, and will cost you $371 for the 16GB model and $451 for the 64GB model. The Mi Note should work on AT&T or T-Mobile, but remember, it does not work on all bands and not on the 4G LTE bands in the US.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro
The write-up on the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro will be a lot shorter as I am only going to highlight the differences – and there really are not many. The build, look and size are all identical, except you can get the Mi Note Pro in black, white and gold.
As far as additional specifications, the Mi Note Pro increases the display from FHD to Quad HD (QHD), which puts the resolution up to 2560 x 1440 pixels and 515 PPI. The other big area is in the processor – the Mi Note Pro jumps from the 32-bit Snapdragon 801, skips the 805 and jumps right up to the newest 64-bit Snapdragon 810 octa-core with four cores clocked at 1.5GHz and the other four cores clocked at 2.0GHz. Xiaomi also threw in 4GB of RAM rather than 3GB and only offers 64GB of internal memory – and again, with no room for expansion. The battery jumps from 3000mAh to 3090mAh and, because of the processor, it can handle LTE Cat 9 – if you could ever encounter speeds that fast in the real world. The pricing is $532 for the one 64GB model.
…And The Winner Is…
Obviously, I have chosen the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro as the winner of this comparison – for an increase of only $81 ($532 – $451) you can have the upgraded display, processor and RAM…what a bargain. If money is extremely tight, then you should purchase the 16GB Mi Note model for only $371 and save yourself $161 and store your pictures, videos and music in the cloud.
The Mi Note Pro is a device that would keep you updated for over a year with the QHD display and Snapdragon 64-bit 810 processor. My only reservation about buying one if you live in the US is the non 4G LTE factor – if Xiaomi would include that, they would have a real winner on their hands.
Please hit us up on our Google+ Page and let us know what you think of the Xiaomi Mi Note and Mi Note Pro…as always, we would love to hear from you.

There is a growing interest in interior design competitions that seek to achieve the highest levels of self-understanding. This is a great way to try outside- the home, while still showing a little bit of “what is inside the house”.
So far I have seen a couple of competitions that are interesting and have gotten me curious. The first is the “Hands-On-Design Competition”, which is basically a competition to see which designer has the most creative ideas in terms of their designs. I think this is an interesting idea because it is the first time that someone has created a design competition that is designed to show off their creative skills.
Another competition is the Inside-The-Home contest, which is basically an online design competition. It’s open to designers and builders. I’m not sure if this is an interesting idea because it is basically the same idea as the Hands-On-Design, but it’s not really clear which of the two is the better one. The first is more open to a wider range of designs, but the second is more for a specific audience.
The competition in the Inside-The-Home contest is for houseplants in the first year to start growing. But it’s more like having your hair done.
This competition is a little bit different because it is open to people to do just about anything. The competition is not meant to be an exercise in style, but rather to have some fun with colors, designs, and even furniture. The winner is going to be able to show off his or her home and it will be able to be seen by millions of people.
What does the competition mean for you? It means that you can make your house be seen by millions of people. There will be a lot of people who will see your home and your house will be able to be seen by millions of people. If you don’t know anyone who is interested in this competition, or if you are just trying to get some new furniture or decor, it is a great way to start building your home.
Interior designers are not only making people’s homes more visible, they’re also making it easier for them to get their house listed for sale. If you’re thinking of turning your home into a vacation home, this is a great opportunity to start building your home into a home that’s worth more than it is now.
Interior designers are not only making peoples homes more visible, but also making it easier for them to get their house listed.

Susan Sontag: On Photography
Susan Sontag’s On Photography is a seminal and groundbreaking work on the subject.
This critique of photography asks forceful questions about the moral and aesthetic issues surrounding this art form. Photographs are everywhere, and the ‘insatiability of the photographing eye’ has profoundly altered our relationship with the world. Photographs have the power to shock, idealize or seduce, creating a sense of nostalgia and acting as a memorial. They can also be used as evidence against us or to identify us, as part of the surveillance culture in which our society is embedded.
In these six incisive essays, Sontag examines the ways in which we use these omnipresent images to manufacture a sense of reality and authority in our lives. With this information, we can change our ways of seeing and understanding both photography and images in general.
Also by Susan Sontag in our collection: Regarding the Pain of Others.

The ever-increasing price of petroleum products coupled with global climate change, environmental pollution and limited availability of fossil fuel called the need for renewable fuels. Biofuel from biomass, spent oil is such a renewable fuel with the added advantage of also cleaning the environment. Therefore, this research reports the Biofuel potential of the seed oil of Zizyphus abyssinia, Zizyphus jujube, and Olea europeae. The seeds extracted with petroleum ether gave low yield and the physical, chemical and fuel properties of the oil were determined. Meanwhile, the extracted oils were golden yellow in colour. The flash point, pour point, viscosity, refractive index, and specific gravity were determined and the Flash point was 118oC, 141oC and 218oC respectively. The pour point was 60C, 8oC and 9oCrespectively.Whereas, the carbon residue was (0.85 and 2.00%); and percent Sulphur was (0.026 and 0.066%). Then the ash content was (0.72, 0.75 and .0.77%). The fuel properties were within the limits for biofuel. Other parameters determined included viscosity (46.31, 41.00 and 40.04), refractive index (1.453, 1.450 and 1.471), specific gravity (0.993, 0.893 and 0.787) and distillation profile. From the result, the oils have the potential for biofuel production either as the raw oil or chemically modified to the methyl or ethyl ester.

Pirates are increasingly turning to advanced cyber hacking techniques to raid ships of their most valuable cargo, a cyber-security report claims.
A shipping company raised the alarm when it found that repeated attacks from pirates had become suspiciously targeted, with raiders able to pinpoint the most lucrative items to steal.
Instead of typical attacks, in which a ship’s crew would be held hostage for days while pirates scoured its contents, their captors appeared to immediately head for certain containers, being able to seek them out by reading the bar codes on the side of the crates.
Security experts at Verizon found that the pirates had been able to hack into the company’s shipping management system, inserting code into the system so that they could pull data from it about future shipments and routes.
Because the shipping company’s directory was not restricted to local access, the hackers were able to access it remotely and discreetly.
This allowed them to track the vessels that were carrying the most valuable cargo and where to take it from. The shipping company said that the pirates had known where the most valuable items were on several occasions over the course of months.
Unfortunately for the pirates, their commands to the database were sent in plain text instead of being encrypted, enabling their patterns to be found out and for the security team to identify and disable the breach.
The report’s authors noted that the pirates were able to repeatedly hone in on the cargo despite apparently being relatively unskilled hackers.
“These threat actors, while given points for creativity, were clearly not highly skilled. For instance, we found numerous mistyped commands and observed that the threat actors constantly struggled to interact with the compromised servers,” the report said.
According to the International Maritime Bureau, 15 ships were hijacked last year, and there were 246 incidents of piracy worldwide.
