Rated 5 out of 5Â by JA111 Beautiful bracelet !!! Very attractive, and the quality is good. The only problem is that it is very small. When I opened my package, my first thought was that it was made for a child. But, I liked it too much to return it and it was exactly what I have been looking for (except the size), so I just stretched the open part of the cuff to make it fit. This has worked out for me and I have not had any problems while wearing it this way.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KelllyKay Great braclet, you will love it!
This braclet is really nice and if you have a small wrist you will really like this one. I bought this for myself and my daughter took it so I am back for another one for me again.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Ccim Very expensive. The quality is cheep. The width is different in sides. It look like it is crocked.

Review the Calculator Caution page before proceeding ahead with the calculator below.
Unlike the forecast calculators, in which the future return on investment (ROI) is uncertain, this calculator determines your monthly payment on a mortgage assuming you lock in your interest rate.
To do this:
- Enter the real estate price
- Enter EITHER the down payment percent or the amount of the loan. Do not enter both. Also, if you revise something after clicking on the “Calc” button, you must erase one or the other of these cells before clicking on “Calc” again.
- Enter the number of monthly payments, annual interest rate, points, annual property taxes, annual insurance and PMI.
- Select either the end of period or start of period from the drop-down box.
- Click on the “Calc” button to make the calculations that are displayed in the bottom half of the box
- If you wish to see the “Schedule” or “Charts” and you have already clicked on “Calc”, go back up and delete either the down payment percent or the amount of loan, then click on either “Schedule” or “Charts” prior to clicking on “Calc”
To see how much raising your monthly payment will reduce the total number of payments and interest you will ultimately pay, go up to the “Monthly Payments?” box and change it. For example, change it from 180 payments to 168 payments to pay off your loan in 14 years instead of 15 years. Click on “Calc” and subtract the monthly payment for the 180 month case from the 168 month case.
It may surprise you how much a nominal additional amount will decrease the time to payoff and the amount of interest you will ultimately pay. However, be sure to verify there is no pre-payment penalty on the loan before paying an additional amount.
The monthly payment amount may differ slightly from your mortgage company due to differences in compounding period, etc. However, the numbers should be close. If they’re not, start asking questions, but don’t be surprised when no one from the financial institution can tell you how they calculate the payment amount, interest rate, etc.

Environmental Land Management Scheme and Trials
Over 70% of the UK’s land is farmed in some way – so how this land is managed has a big impact on wildlife. A thriving natural environment underpins our ability to grow food into the future, but the decline of wildlife in the countryside threatens this. The recovery of wildlife in the UK depends on a farming policy which enables farmers to create and restore natural habitats alongside food production.
For more than forty years, the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has dictated how we farm, and over this time we have seen devastating declines in wildlife across the UK. For five years landowners have benefitted from the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS), a cash payment based on the area of land they own. Alongside this landowners have been able to apply for Countryside Stewardship which pays landowners to undertake on-farm work that provide environmental benefits. Whilst a lot of good work has been delivered through Countryside Stewardship (and its predecessors) it has also been criticised for not providing the benefits hoped for. It is considered to be too heavily regulated and bureaucratic, deterring people from entering into schemes.
With our departure from the EU there is an opportunity to redesign agricultural policies to allow us to meet our environmental ambitions, while supporting our farming sector. The new Agriculture Bill signals a huge opportunity for better policies to support farmers to produce food for our country whist creating healthier soils, vibrant wetlands and the other things that nature gives us for free. The move away from CAP, will bring us to the new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme which is based on the principle of ‘public money for public goods’. This aims to put English farmers in the best position possible to meet the objectives of protecting the environment and producing food.
The ELM scheme and is due to come into effect in 2024, with the Basic Payment Scheme will start to be wound back in 2021 with payments dropping annually over 6 years to give time for landowners to adapt. Countryside Stewardship will continue for some time to provide overlap and continuity initially. During this time Defra also plan to make Countryside Stewardship simpler and more flexible. Defra are also looking at other potential grants that might be available during the transition period.
The ELM scheme will provide farmers, foresters and other land managers with an opportunity to secure financial reward in return for delivering environmental benefits. ELM will be a powerful vehicle for achieving the goals of the 25 Year Environment Plan, and ensure there is a strong mechanism for addressing and averting the environmental crisis. The ELM scheme will focus on payments for these public goods:
- clean and plentiful water
- clean air
- protection from and mitigation of environmental hazards
- mitigation of and adaptation to climate change
- thriving plants and wildlife
- beauty, heritage and engagement
Whilst the ELM scheme is still in development, Defra have released information about current thinking of the scheme design, and a key part of this is the three tiered system:
- Tier one would encourage farmers to adopt environmentally sustainable farming and forestry practices,
- Tier two would encourage farmers, foresters and other land managers to focus on delivering locally-targeted environmental outcomes.
- Tier three would pay for larger-scale, transformational projects – such as restoring peatland.
Under the ELM scheme, farmers will be paid for work that enhances the environment, such as tree or hedge planting, river management to mitigate flooding, or creating or restoring habitats for wildlife. Farmers will therefore have an opportunity to be at the forefront of reversing environmental declines and tackling climate change as they reshape the future of farming in the 21st century.
The Wildlife Trusts’ ELMs trial
The recovery of wildlife in the UK – one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world – depends on an efficient and effective ELM scheme, which will enables farmers to create and restore natural habitats.
In order to inform the design and ambition of the ELM scheme, to support nature’s recovery, a consortium of five Wildlife Trusts (Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Herefordshire and Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trusts) are leading one of Defra’s funded ELM scheme trials. The project was initially meant to run between October 2019 and June 2021 but this has now been extended to December 2021 due to the impact of Coronavirus.
All five Trust’s already provide farm advice, and it is our ambition to use this experience to influence the development of the future ELM scheme to support the six public goods listed in the 25 year plan, ‘Particularly Thriving Plants and Wildlife’. Through this trial we will be working with 100 landowners and farmers across five counties, to help shape the design and operation of this new scheme for Tier 1 applications. We will be co-designing 100 whole farm plans, that will enable simple spatial mapping of public goods (e.g., soil, water and biodiversity improvements), and identification of where goods can be created or enhanced. The trial will also include essential business planning, so farmers are able to make informed financial decisions on the most appropriate public goods that their land can deliver.
Involving farmers and land owners in the early stages of the ELM scheme is essential for it to succeed, evidenced by the poor uptake of the current Countryside Stewardship scheme. Thus our trial focuses very much on giving farmers and landowners the opportunity to co-design and provide input into the development of the whole farm plans. Those involved in our trial will also receive data, maps and advice that will support their future management decisions and prepare them for the changes that ELMS will bring.
There are a number of key steps to the project:
- Through one to one questionnaires we have asked for farmers’ experiences of past agri-environment schemes or sought to understand the barriers and challenges to entering a scheme if they haven’t previously taken part in a scheme.
- We have been working on producing initial template farm plans that takes account of existing public goods being delivered on a farm and establish opportunities to deliver more. The plans aim to be mainly mapped based.
- Using the emerging farm plan templates, each Trust will now engage with 10 landowners initially, on a one-to-one basis, to test the templates and produce farm plans, all the while recording feedback from the landowners and recording experiences.
- Following feedback we will use the test to update the templates before each Trust trialling it with a further 10 landowners. Following feedback final versions will be prepared.
- Finally, the outputs of the trial will be submitted to Defra along with a report about the process and feedback gained from engaging with the landowners
This trial is innovative in approach, combining the farmer or land owner’s ambitions with the role the farm plays as part of the wider landscape informed by the landscape-scale priorities set out for wildlife in local Nature Recovery Networks. By the end of the project we will have developed and prepared a series of farm plans but also, importantly the Wildlife Trust’s and local farmers will have had the opportunity to mould the future of the ELM scheme and how it could be delivered.

Challenging Times Lead to Hiring Freeze for Half of Fintech Firms #
The current economic climate has led to half of all fintech firms freezing hiring in 2023, with over 4,000 fintech employees losing their jobs in the first half of 2022 alone. The impact of challenging financial times on the sector is further highlighted in a new report by leading technology experts Erlang Solutions.
The report, Exploring Fintech in 2023, examines the industry trends that are set to impact the year ahead. It also looks at the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the sector, regulatory developments, and the growing importance of sustainability in company culture.
According to the report, 51% of fintech firms are expected to freeze hiring this year, with another 31% not ruling out the idea. Large and medium-sized firms are more likely to reduce staffing levels than smaller ones, with larger enterprises nearly twice as likely to close offices or stores and reduce software licenses and seats.
While these decisions can be challenging, they are necessary for businesses to remain competitive and thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape. By embracing new technologies and implementing innovative strategies, fintech businesses can not only survive but also grow and expand their reach.
The report also notes the importance of focusing on customers in the event of a deeper recession, particularly for small businesses. It includes thought leadership from industry figures such as Francesco Cesarini, founder and Technical Director at Erlang Solutions, Chris Skinner, author and speaker, and Irfan Khan, founder and CEO of tech provider mmob.
Francesco Cesarini commented on the challenges facing the industry, stating that while some fintech companies may not survive the threat of a global recession, fintech has supported consumers over the last few years of global challenges and will continue to do so. He emphasized the need for greater cooperation to create a diverse ecosystem that works for all, and hopes the report will spark those conversations.

Today, I have the great pleasure of interviewing Drs. Joy and Roy Martina about their approach to weight loss in their new book Sleep your Fat Away: Train Your Brain to Lose Weight Effortlessly, which is celebrating its official launch on Tuesday April 21st, 2015.
Drs. JOY AND ROY MARTINA are amongst the world’s leaders in helping people get back into their power. Between them, they have published over 70 books (translated into more than 10 languages) and have trained hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Their passion for natural approaches to health, longevity and fitness has led them to write their book Sleep Your Fat Away.
Many of you have asked me what to do when weight loss isn’t coming easily, or when you find yourself coming back to old patterns that stop you from your achieving your weight loss goal. So in this interview I asked Joy and Roy about top tips for tackling self-sabotage, starting with an understanding of the connection between our minds and weight loss.
**Interview with Drs. Joy and Roy Martina**
DR. DONI: What connections have you noticed between the mind and weight?
JOY and ROY We need to make a distinction between the conscious and subconscious mind. The conscious mind might be very willing to embrace the idea of weight loss, diets etc – but the subconscious mind hates change, serves as the great database of everything that happens to us in life and is very often full of sabotage and blocks – especially when it comes to weight loss – as it connects this to deprivation, struggle and suffering. So in SYFA we focus on getting all parts of the mind aligned with the clients’ weight loss goals.
DR. DONI: What are your top tips for tackling self-sabotage?
JOY and ROY: Step 1 is becoming aware of it (that in itself can already be a game changer as many don’t even realize they are subconsciously sabotaging themselves).
Step 2 is to commit to apply one (or all) of the techniques we offer, such as:
- Listening to our brain training audios as often as possible (subliminal and as a guided meditation)
- Applying the techniques such as the Emotional Balance Technique. Here’s a video example of the Stress Point technique
- Tapping whenever emotions or self-sabotage are triggered. Here’s a video of that
DR. DONI: How can someone use visualization to help with weight loss?
JOY and ROY: We encourage our clients to keep anchoring themselves on their desired outcome (their ideal weight), especially before going to sleep at night as this is a powerful way of training the subconscious mind; the information is taken into our dreams and together with the sleep programming we then even dream about being slim…
***END OF INTERVIEW**
I hope you enjoyed this brief interview with co-authors Drs. Joy and Roy Martina. I too have found that visualization and increasing awareness of the mind-body connections help with weight loss – both personally and for patients. I’d love to hear if you’ve tried these techniques and if they have helped you. Please share your comments below.

Never ask for advice when you’re feeling anxious. Take your emotional temperature first. And don’t turn to people who are similar to you when you have a decision to make.
1. We look for advice that will support our original idea
Research shows that we all have a tendency to judge the information that comes our way in terms of how consistent it is with our original idea.
In other words, we seek advice from people who we think will confirm our ideas. That’s why it’s important to have diverse perspectives on board or teams. It may be easier to come to a decision when everyone thinks the same, but it probably won’t be the best decision.
It’s more difficult to go to the people who are going to ask the tough questions and say, That’s not so good.
2. When asking for advice, turn to diversity
The simple solution to the above problem is to ask people who will question our ideas and force us to consider other options.
Asking for advice from people differing in age, gender or race will offer a new perspective. Diverse suggestions will help you come to a more sound decision.
I think more carefully about who I ask for advice. I know that in the end I’ll be better off if people allow me to think through different concerns or questions I should be asking myself.
3. Don’t give advice based on your own experiences
Oftentimes bad advice results when the person doesn’t ask questions before offering an opinion and brings in their own experience. Rather than thinking about how you are or thinking about the situation, they just jump in and in a sense, spit out what they would do in the situation using their own perspective rather than yours.
People tend to be egocentric and prefer to speak about personal experiences rather than trying to understand the situation and person at hand.
We want to jump in and offer a solution right away. But it’s more important to ask questions and understand the problem better before advising them.
4. To give good advice, ask a lot of questions
Good advice is dependent on the advice giver understanding the situation at hand. The more questions you ask the better.
One of the things that changes with experience is that when you’re hired as a consultant or an adviser, what you do is ask many more questions prior to offering solution.
5. If you’re feeling anxious, don’t ask for advice
Typically when a person seeks advice it’s because they’re unsure about the situation, which can spark anxiety.
When people experience anxiety, their judgment is clouded and they are unable to distinguish between good and bad advice. You’re more likely to pay attention to other people’s perspectives if you’re feeling anxious and you don’t have a filter of what is good and bad — you just take it.
You need to “take your emotional temperature” before seeking advice.
“Be aware of how emotions can powerfully influence decisions. You should actually take the time to calm down and come back to the decision later on.

Miller Supports Historic $12.6 Billion Transportation Budget
Updated: Mar 29
The legislation was passed by the Ohio House during Wednesday’s vote
COLUMBUS – State Rep. Melanie Miller (R-City of Ashland) supported House Bill 23 on Wednesday, which is the historic transportation budget legislation investing $12.6 billion into the state’s infrastructure. The legislation was passed by the Ohio House during the vote.
As a member of the Economic and Workforce Development Committee, Miller sees this bill to have potential for job creation for Ohio residents.
“This critical transportation budget is going to improve our infrastructure in all parts of the state, and it’s also a big jobs bill,” said Miller. “This is a strong investment to create jobs, attract businesses and to improve the lives of Ohioans. It will also incentivize those outside of our state to come here to live, work and raise a family.”
The legislation is the largest commitment of highway infrastructure spending in Ohio history with $12.6 billion in funding for Ohio’s transportation system over the next two years.
Other key components of the bill include:
Funding $2.2 billion for pavement, $717 million for bridges, $360 million for dedicated safety upgrades, and $1.5 billion for large, capacity adding projects such as reconfiguring urban interstates.
Creating the Rural Highway Fund, $1 billion in new money focused solely on projects that add capacity or reduce commute times to employment centers in counties that do not have a municipality over 65,000 residents.
Providing reliable transportation routes for workers in rural parts of the state who otherwise might be forced to relocate in order to gain employment.
Finding faster ways to connect areas of the state by funding the Strategic Transportation and Development Analysis to study links between Columbus and Sandusky and Columbus and Toledo.
Investing $14 million to establish the Ohio Workforce Mobility Partnership Program, which allows one or more regional transit authorities (RTA) to work together to provide service for the workforce between the territories and supporting the employment needs of economically significant employment centers.
Requiring the Public Utilities Commission (PUCO) and the Environmental Protection Agency to create and submit a report to the General Assembly within 90 days of the effective date on the transportation of hazardous materials and waste in the state.
Mandating that an operator be notified of a wayside detector system defect. Requires DOT and PUCO to ensure the messages are sent.
Requiring that a train must have a two-person crew related solely for safety.
Preventing park districts being pulled into an improvement district without consent to standardize the practice used by other local government entities.
Clarifying that the prohibition of counties and townships using traffic cameras applies only to enforcement of red light or speeding violations and not the detection and enforcement of criminal offenses.
Allowing for the permanent registration of noncommercial trailers.
The legislation now moves to the Senate for further consideration and deliberations.
State Representative Melanie Miller is currently serving her first term in the Ohio House of Representatives. She represents the 67th House District, which includes all of Ashland County and the western portion of Medina County.

I’ve been having some cooling problems with my Thinkpad recently. It’s an old model T41p which is outside the service period so IBM/Lenovo won’t help me (at least not unless I give them more money). If I run it for a few minutes at maximum CPU when the ambient temperature is about 20C then it gets to 90C, apparently 93C is the temperature at which it turns itself off, so obviously I need to do something to keep it cool. On the really hot days of summer my air-conditioners can’t keep any part of my house below 30C, so on such days I can’t do any compiles on my Thinkpad or watch videos.
My Thinkpad seems to idle at a temperature that is about 35C higher than the ambient temperature. At this rate the system could get close to it’s maximum temperature on a 45C day by just idling! Not that I plan to have a warm Thinkpad on my lap if I ever happen to be outside on such a hot day.
I suspect that a large part of the problem is the dust that has accumulated inside the machine. I asked about this on the LUV mailing list and Andrew Chalmers suggested The Chaos Manor review of taking a Thinkpad T41p apart . The Chaos Manor guy wanted to replace his CPU with a faster one so he had to get access to all the same bits.
I followed the instructions until I got to the stage of prying the heatsink off the video chip. I figured that I will never be able to attach it as well as it is currently attached so I will get different cooling problems if I go any further. Taking it apart to that degree was a moderate amount of work, getting the keyboard bezel off was the most difficult part, and taking the palm-rest off required removing bits of plastic that were stuck in place to cover screw holes – which will probably fall off in a week or two.
Probably everyone who owns a T41p that they regularly use has a similar problem to me as all such machines have been out of support long enough to have accumulated a lot of dust. So I recommend that other T41p owners not disassemble their machine as much as I did, but instead go for my plan B which is to blow compressed air through the CPU cooling system. Doing this merely requires removing the keyboard. One tip that I have heard is that you should hold the fan in place when blowing compressed air as the pressure of the air may spin the fan fast enough to generate enough electricity to damage the motherboard or damage it’s bearings. But you might want to wait until I’ve got my Thinkpad done before you blow compressed air through yours, it could very well be destroyed.
The other option is to try and use software to control the temperature. Patricia Fraser suggested controlling the fan speed . I did some experiments and found that increasing the fan speed dramatically slowed the increase in the temperature. A 10 minute build is almost certain to bring the temperature to dangerous levels in a default configuration, but it seems that if I set the fan to maximum speed before starting the build then I can mitigate this problem. Most programs that I work on will compile in significantly less than 10 minutes.
Another possibility that occurred to me is that of limiting the speed of the system. It seems that ACPI has support for reducing the CPU frequency when the temperature rises too much, but Matthew Garrett has pointed out that this effectively increases the amount of energy used (and heat dissipated) for any given quantity of work . So what I want to do is to cause the CPU to idle periodically when it gets too hot. I’ve been idly considering writing a program that uses SIGSTOP and SIGCONT to control the operation of programs such as make, or writing a program that creates a new pty (like script) and pauses the output whenever the CPU gets too hot.
Of course the easy option would be to figure out how to set the threshold temperature where the CPU speed is limited. Which is made slightly more complicated by my choice of kernel 2.6.30 for Ext4 support. Now the kernel doesn’t work with my acpid and I’m starting to get forced into an upgrade to Debian/Testing.
Does anyone have any ideas?

New Position for REC's leader to 'Pay Dividends for Member-Owners'
April 5, 2019
Kent Farmer, president and CEO of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, has been selected to serve as president of the Board of Directors of a primary financing arm of electric cooperatives.
Farmer noted the position with the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC) will allow him to better serve not only member-owners at REC, but also electric cooperatives across the country.
“In serving both as the CEO at REC and also on the board at CFC, I've had the opportunity to interact with cooperative people all over the country,” Farmer said. “Learning from them - whether it's from a regulatory perspective or a legislative perspective or even an operational perspective. Having an opportunity to share information with cooperative leaders from across the country provides us a tremendous benefit.”
Formed in 1969 as a bank for cooperative utilities, CFC is a nonprofit with approximately $27 billion in assets. It provides unparalleled industry expertise, flexibility and responsiveness to serve the needs of its member-owners. Through CFC, financing is provided to member organizations and affiliates in 49 states, the District of Columbia and two U.S. territories.
The expertise at CFC helps REC make more efficient decisions, Farmer said.
“Programs that CFC sponsors give REC an opportunity to listen to other cooperatives across the country,” he said. “All of that just pays dividends to our member-owners We all have the best interests of our member-owners and our communities that we live in first and foremost in what we are trying to improve. It's a win-win for both organizations and I could not be more proud to be affiliated with both.”

I’m attempting to add a few lil’ interesting bits to my website. Since I’m not so brilliant at the blogging, hopefully I’ll be a little better at the story end of things! I’m currently suffering a cold, so I shall blame my inspiration on Sudafed and Panadol! But I’m pretty happy with my first attempt and I hope everyone else will be too.
You can check out REFLECTIONS in my short story section. It’s inspired by the Swan Princess. Would love any feedback/constructive criticism.
I guess it’s something that happens to everyone, but there are times when my motivation isn’t where it should be! I am currently working my way through the second book in a fantasy series and for some inexplicable reason, I’ve hit halfway, wondering if I am going in the right direction with the character and the story. This never really happens with my stories and even the third book isn’t causing me many problems, but this second book – ugghhh! – I can’t even find the words to describe why I have stalled. Perhaps it’s the second book curse (or is there such a thing?) Or maybe I need to stop getting distracted by facebook, twitter and every other social media tool under the sun! (The bane of being a nosey cow!)
Despite it being a bit of a down week in relation to sitting down and actually writing, I have to say that on the positive side, the second book is plotted out in my head and on paper. Of course, it is changing daily – sometimes these beings you bring to life in your imagination have a tendency of trying to live their lives their own way, and completely feck up the fate you were dishing out to them. But, I guess I can gently steer them back to my way of thinking (and let them believe it was their idea…)
Or, perhaps I can give in a little and see where it leads? I suppose that’s the fun of thinking of your characters as real people and living far too much in your own head…

We have this at least once a week, and it has become our favorite slow cooker recipe. Nice enough for company, too.
Paprika Chicken and Vegetables
2 boneless chicken breast halves (or 2 lbs of chicken drumsticks)
1 pounds small white potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
2 medium carrots, cut in chunks
1 medium onion, cut in thin wedges
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
2 tablespoons Spanish smoked paprika
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Wash chicken and pat dry. Combine potatoes, carrots, and onion wedges in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter; toss. Combine the butter with the smoked paprika, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and dash of salt and dash of cumin. Rub chicken breasts with the paprika mixture; arrange on vegetables.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, or on LOW for 7 to 9 hours, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

T-MobileUS (NASDAQ: TMUS) is closing the gap between itself and its larger rivals, as evidenced by its strong fourth-quarter results released last week.
T-Mobile results: The raw numbers
|Metric||Q4 2017||Q4 2016||Year-Over-Year Change|
|Revenue||$10.759 billion||$10.234 billion||5.1%|
|Operating cash flow||$2.058 billion||$1.602 million||28.5%|
|Free cash flow||$1.137 billion||$743 million||53%|
Data source: T-Mobile Q4 2017 earnings release .
What happened with T-Mobile this quarter?
T-Mobile added 1.9 million customers in the fourth quarter and a total of 5.7 million in 2017. These figures include 1.1 million new postpaid subscribers in Q4, who pay monthly bills and are the most sought-after customers for wireless carriers. Moreover, T-Mobile continues to take share from rival carriers Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) , AT&T (NYSE: T) , and Sprint (NYSE: S) , as it once again led the industry by a wide margin in terms of new postpaid phone subscribers.
"With 891,000 postpaid phone net adds in Q4, we captured more than twice the postpaid phone net adds of our next closest competitor, Verizon; more than 3x AT&T; and almost 5x Sprint," CEO John Legere said during a conference call with analysts.
Better still, T-Mobile is getting better at retaining its existing customers. The company's fourth-quarter postpaid churn rate improved by 10 basis points year over year, to 1.18%.
Helping to drive these gains are T-Mobile's heavy investments in its network, which are boosting coverage and download speeds, as noted by Legere: "OpenSignal, the global standard for measuring consumers' real-world mobile network experience, named T-Mobile as the winner in 5, count them, 5 categories in their recent report," he said during the conference call. "Nearly 6 billion tests from actual customers of every major wireless network shows that T-Mobile's network is the fastest in the industry, and that T-Mobile customers get an LTE signal more often than AT&T, Sprint and even Verizon."
All told, T-Mobile's customer additions fueled a 5% rise in total revenue, to $10.8 billion. In turn, EBITDA -- adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, spectrum gains, and certain other items -- rose 4% to $2.7 billion.
T-Mobile expects to add between 2 million and 3 million new branded postpaid customers in 2018. The company is also forecasting its full-year adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $11.3 billion to $11.7 billion.
Looking even further ahead, T-Mobile raised its projected three-year (from 2016 to 2019) compound annual growth rates for operating and free cash flow to 16%-18% and 46%-48%, respectively, up from prior estimates of 15%-18% and 45%-48%.
"We made incredible progress in 2017 building out our network and retail footprint to set ourselves up for future growth," Legere said in the company's press release. "Our business is clearly firing on all cylinders and our strong guidance for 2018 shows that we have no plans of letting up!"

Beau Adams rolled up 168 yards and scored five touchdowns to lead the Emerald Coast Stingrays in a 48-6 season-opener victory over the Freeport Bulldogs in middle school football action in Santa Rosa Beach Tuesday evening.
“We just had a lot of kids that came out hit holes and we had holes opening for us,” said Stingray Coach Matt Brooks
Last year, that wasn’t the case.
"This year, our linemen are a little more season. We’ve got some older players and the holes opened up for us. That kind of made the offense go,” Brooks said. “And once we got a little momentum going, I thought we did real well.”
The Stingrays wound up scoring on every possession.
Emerald Coast got the ball first and scored in four plays with Adams taking it in on a 48-yard scamper to the end zone. The two-point try failed.
On the Bulldogs' first possession, the Stingrays knocked the ball loose with Noah Ford making the recovery.
Emerald Coast was in the end zone again three plays later, this time on an 18-yard run by Adams. The extra point attempt again failed.
On Freeport’s next possession, the Bulldogs gained a little ground with Jacob Cathey picking up 10 yards, only to be knocked back on the next play.
Emerald Coast took over on the Freeport 37-yard line and scored in three plays. Quarterback Caleb Lindsey picked up 5 yards and then connected with Ford for a gain of 12 yards. On the next play, Adams took off around the around the end for a 20-yard score. Adams rushed in for the two-point conversion and the Stingrays led 20-0 at the end of the first quarter.
At the start of the second, Freeport scored its only touchdown. Cathey rushed a couple of times for gains of 30 yards and 24 yards before taking it in on a 2-yard quarterback sneak up the middle. Emerald Coast stuffed the Bulldogs on the two-point try for a 20-6 game.
It didn’t take the Stingrays long to answer. In less than a minute, Maddox Porter rushed for 20 yards and then Lindsey connected with Ford for a gain of 7 yards. On the next play, Adams found a hole up the middle and then took it left for 34 yards and the score. Stingrays led 26-6.
Emerald Coast scored one last time in the first half on a 28-yard run by Adams. Lindsey scored the two-point conversion for a 34-6 lead at the break.
In the third quarter, Emerald Coast put the ball in the hands of Porter for a 7 yard TD run and Nolan Watson ran in the two-point conversion for a 42-6 lead and a running clock on the game.
Freeport got the ball only to be stopped by the Stingray defense. Emerald Coast’s Shane Lane picked off a Bulldog pass and ran it back about 20 yards to the 10-yard line. On the Stingrays first play, Watson scored around the left end for a 48-6 victory.
“My biggest surprise was our defense,” Brooks said after the game. “Our defense looked iffy in practice and I wasn’t sure what they would do, but for the most part I’m happy.”
The Stingrays held Freeport to 70 yards total offense with Cathey picking up 62 of those yards.
As for the Emerald Coast offense, they were hitting on all cylinders with a total of 280 yards on the ground and 19 through the air.
“Beau (Adams) is always going to have big runs. He’s a player,” Brooks said. “He plays hard every down, right up to the end.”
Ford checked in with three carries for 56 yards and Porter with 45 yards in four rushes.
Up next for Emerald Coast is a road trip on Tuesday to Vernon where they will play in a jamboree. The Stingrays will be back at home on Aug. 29 at 6 p.m. against the Walton Braves.

Islamabad: Pakistan is likely to import
vegetables from India due to a shortage caused by devastating
rains and floods in Sindh, one of the country`s main
agricultural regions, a leading trader has said.
"The country is likely to import vegetables from India in
October, like last year, when floods had destroyed vast
swathes of farmland," said Haji Shah Jehan, the President of
the Welfare Association of Wholesale Vegetable Markets in
Vegetable and fruit supplies have dropped by 75 per cent
and prices have shot up by nearly 100 per cent in the
wholesale market due to heavy monsoon rainfall and flooding,
"The natural calamity has destroyed the agricultural
supply chain," Shah Jehan told The News daily.
About 800 to 1,000 trucks of fruits and vegetables arrive
at the Karachi wholesale market every day, but after the rains
began, the number dropped to 200 to 250 trucks.
The situation will become clearer in a week or two when
floodwaters recede in the vegetable-growing districts of
Sindh, he said.
Prices of vegetables were affected more than fruit, as
supplies from the Balochistan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab
provinces were unaffected.
Vegetables are mostly grown in Sindh, which was badly hit
by the recent rains.
The rains have disrupted the supply of vegetables from the
Thatta, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Badin, Sanghar,
and Mirpurkhas districts.
Shah Jehan noted that the vegetable-growers were small
farmers and asked the government to provide them relief in the
form of a subsidy on seed and fertilisers.
The rains in Sindh have resulted in losses of around Rs
256 billion to major kharif crops and vegetables.
Only sugarcane crops survived the rains, while cotton and
paddy were the worst-affected crops.
Vegetables and animal fodder that were being grown in the
fields were also washed away by the flood waters.
Besides a decline in supply, the rain has affected
business at Karachi`s wholesale market, with Shah Jehan
complaining that the `Sabzi Mandi` had become unhygienic after
rains in the city.
"The market is filthy after the rains. The air reeks with
rotting fruits and vegetables, the gutters are choked and
there is mud everywhere," Shah Jehan said.
The wholesale market for fruits and vegetables on the
Super Highway, on the outskirts of Karachi, is the biggest in
Pakistan and is spread over 100 acres.
The market supplies fruits and vegetables to the country`s
largest city, with a population of around 18 million, and
normally caters to export demand as well.
The deluge in Sindh has killed over 300 people and
affected six million at a time when the southern province is
still grappling with the impact of last year`s unprecedented

Your beloved Stardew Valley offers endless gameplay. There is no final game in itself. Discover all the secrets, make friends and upgrade your house to the maximum, so you can farm according to your mind. But if you get tired of the pixelated charm of the valley, there are other games that offer a similar experience.
Games Like Stardew Valley
There will be another game that will give you the same pleasure whether farming life is what you crave, relationships with villagers or caving. Read a list of 10 games like Stardew Valley game.
Take a look on: 20 Upcoming Games 2019,
1. Rune Factory 4
An art-style role-playing game inspired primarily by anime, the game is far more story-driven than the Stardew Valley. One of the sharing features is farming, marital skills, and dungeon exploration. Also the craft is heavy. Your character gets stronger on the various stat boosting equipment you create.
The game’s dating event is deep and dramatic when compared to Stardew’s rather peaceful event. Also, as ruler of the Kingdom of Celpia, you can give orders such as requesting events and combating storms!
This game is not a farming game, but the generated atmosphere reminds me of Stardew anyway. Gameplay is slightly different, day or night. During the day, the character runs the store, manages employees and prices, and upgrades the store if necessary. Once again you can interact with the villagers and as a store customer you may have certain needs.
You can also craft equipment and armor. At night, there are also other challenges such as visiting dungeons, collecting valuable items, and most importantly fighting enemies and bosses.

3) Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns
The Harvest Moon game is widely known to be inspired by the Stardew Valley, and if you’ve played the game so far, it’s not hard to see why. Despite the name change, the Story of Seasons series is understood as the spiritual continuation of Harvest Moon. The trio of the village was loved by many fans. Like Stardew, you can marry a character and, of course, spend time on farming.
There are three cities with different indigenous crops to try, and you can also mine ores. A fun add-on is to give gifts to become friends with wild animals and build friendships. A versatile and loved game.
4) Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Animal Crossing: You can’t run a farm on New Leaf, but how about running an entire village? As the mayor, you are responsible for telling about various event decisions such as the satisfaction of villagers, the maintenance of the city, and fireworks. The social side is similar to the social side of the Stardew Valley.
You can be friends with the villagers, send gifts or keep the distance. A fun feature is the ability to send letters. If you like to threaten fictional villagers, you will be able to get kicks by sending aggressive words. You will also receive a completely favorable answer from the famous villagers.

5) My time at Portia
A little different from the peaceful farming life of the Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia lies in the post-apocalyptic world. Instead of trying to restore Grandpa’s farm, he tries to build a father’s workshop and make it as broad as possible. Naturally, crafting is a big part of gameplay.
But the picture is quite different. The game features 3D, almost cartoon graphics instead of pixel art, but it still has a charm. Not to mention the ancient ruins, you’ll find villages with different dungeons to explore. If craft is your job, go
6) Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles
For a more adventurous experience, try Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. Depicted by some when Zelda met the Star Dew Valley, the game lets you enjoy beautiful visuals and peaceful music through the open world of the mysterious island. Most of the time, you need to find a magical sprite that will help you get rid of the fierce mist called Murk, which destroys the environment and hinders the lives of the inhabitants.
Farming, fishing and crafting are going on so you can fix your farming, but exploration is the focus here. In addition, the lack of combat creates a rare but quiet and enjoyable atmosphere.
Related: Games Like Minecraft Free,
7) Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor
You can’t see farming in this game, but there are daily grind types of gameplay. In Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, you play the role of “Alansee girlbeast” who dreams of a better life and picks up trash on alien planets. Everyday work and existential topics are related games like Stardew Valley game.
It uses a completely different setting but is 3D but the pixelated aesthetic is similar. The repeatability of gameplay can be too much. You can see that Stardew is better made. But it features cool retro 8-bit style music.
8) Fantasy Life
Fantasy Life offers a wide selection of wonderful and fantastic worlds and how to live in them. Each of the 12 lessons uses different skills to change gameplay, so you can choose your lifestyle. It features an open world with many quests and crafting opportunities. There is a main storyline to follow at your own pace.
This may affect the availability of some in-game areas, but some can be left incomplete. As you progress through the story, you get stronger and more attractive characters join the quest. It is worth playing in this game through several different life paths.
Related: Games Like Clash of Clans game,
9) Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale
Another game that runs a store, Recettear is currently 8 years old but still well maintained. The game shows caring for a new item shop for a girl named Recette and an adventurer run by a fairy named Tear. Challenge enemy creatures in various markets or with loot to choose where to stock. You also set the price of the product to determine the layout of your store.
The time management aspect is reminiscent of the time management of the games like Stardew Valley, and despite the cute and visual elements, the RPG element adds some refreshing difficulties.
10) World’s Dawn
World’s Dawn is a good example of another game with a warm and relaxed atmosphere. You can take care of your farm, including crops and livestock, and work in much the same way as like Stardew Valley. You can also fishing, mining, and build relationships with residents.
Festive mini-games are highlights with different types available throughout the year, such as the LockBall Bash and Townsfolk Trivia. LockBall is a fun little game where you can bet when you actually play against other characters.
Games Like Stardew Valley
So this was the list of 10 best games like Stardew Valley game you should play now. Hopefully you like these games.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has announced a ban on the feeding of large numbers of homeless and hungry people at sites on and near the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Mayor Nutter is imposing the ban on all outdoor feedings of large numbers of people on city parkland, including Love Park and the Ben Franklin Parkway, where it is not uncommon for outreach groups to offer free food. Nutter says the feedings lack both sanitary conditions and dignity. “Providing to those who are hungry must not be about opening the car trunk, handing out a bunch of sandwiches, and then driving off into the dark and rainy night,” Nutter said.

Blues singer Shonka Dukureh, who recently had a featured performance in Baz Luhrmann’s musical biopic Elvis, has died, The Tennessean reports. Nashville police reported that Dukureh, who played influential singer Big Mama Thornton in Luhrmann’s film, was found in the bedroom of the apartment she shared with her two children. Dukureh was 44.
According to Dukureh’s web site, she was originally educated as an elementary school teacher before branching out into music. (Per THR, she continued to work with kids via after-school and summer programs even as she pursued her performing career.) Elvis was her film debut, after a number of years working as a session music with a number of artists, including Jamie Liddell and Nick Cave. She played Thornton in Luhrmann’s movie, and also appeared on the film’s soundtrack, belting out the version of “Hound Dog” that inspires Austin Butler’s Elvis to begin performing the song himself. In addition to her appearance in Elvis, Dukureh also appeared in a recent music video for Doja Cat, and was gearing up to release her first album, The Lady Sings The Blues.
In an interview about the film, Dukureh said of Thornton, “[Big Mama Thornton] was really raw with what she did and very honest and truthful and [made] music as she felt it. And I could totally relate to that…I was very aware and wanting to really be intentional about making sure I was paying respect, respecting her, respecting her legacy, respecting her spirit, respecting everything about what she brought to music and understanding that I’m able to do it because she’s done it and laid that foundation.”
No cause of death is known, although the Nashville Metro Police have reported that no foul play is suspected. Nashville mayor John Cooper offered up praise to Dukureh on social media today, paying tribute to her career as both an educator and a performer.

Shuttle Service Extended at Henderson Bridgeposted 6/26/16 -- Lorain County Community Action Agency’s shuttle for pedestrians using the Henderson Bridge to get to work will continue through the rest of the summer.
The free service will operates seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and has given nearly 300 rides since May 19.
Rehabilitation of the bridge across the Black River is expected to last until October. The bridge connects two low-income neighborhoods and residents use it to walk to work. LCCAA President and CEO Jackie Boehnlein cited the lack of public transportation in Lorain County as a barrier for residents to get jobs outside of their immediate neighborhood.
The sidewalk closed at the end of March, forcing pedestrians to put themselves in danger by walking in the traffic lanes. The alternative pedestrian route is the Erie Street bridge which adds at least two miles and forty minutes to a walker’s commute, she added.
The shuttle is parked on one side of the bridge or the other and crosses about every 15 minutes, Boehnlein said. The shuttle driver’s phone number is posted directly on the pedestrian barricades.


Italian goth metal outfit False Memories issued their Frontiers label debut, ‘The Last Night Of Fall’, in May 2021. Currently preparing work on its follow-up, they have announced that a new covers EP entitled ‘Echoes Of A Reflection’ will be released on 3rd December. Their version of ‘Our Truth’ (originally by Lacuna Coil) is out now.
The EP is comprised of some of their favourite songs by acts that have influenced them, with tribute also being paid to Paradise Lost, Katatonia, The Gathering and All About Eve. False Memories offer personal interpretations of five tracks that are close to their hearts, with guitarist Francesco Savino stating: “Playing these songs on which we were born and raised was nothing short of exciting, even moving. We started with influences rooted deeply in gothic rock, to gothic metal, and then on to its most modern and latest variations. Considering the diverse influences we have, we deemed it dutiful to pay tribute to these bands.”
False Memories was founded in 2015 by Savino, with a self-titled EP released the following year. The group then gravitated towards a goth metal sound and a debut album entitled ‘Chimerical’ was issued in early 2018, an updated version of which followed after Moscatello joined the band as its new singer later that year. The songs on ‘The Last Night Of Fall’ were written by Savino and Moscatello.

Natalia A. Rossi, Ph.D.
Dr. Natalia Rossi is the Cuba Country Manager of the Mesoamerica and Western Caribbean Program for the Wildlife Conservation Society. With Cuba’s wildlife and wild places at a critical crossroads, Natalia leads the development of WCS Cuba program to help strengthen Cuba’s protected areas management and sustainable fisheries.
What do you enjoy most/what do you find most interesting about your research topic?
Our project seeks to merge scientific research, ecological teaching, and community outreach with the goal of mapping and monitoring biodiversity in critical areas of the Banao River Basin in Central Cuba. It will be extremely interesting to uncover the species composition of this area and identify individual species that may be more vulnerable to changes in the environment. As one of the fastest developing regions in the country, Central Cuba is an ideal place to closely monitor potential changes in biodiversity and look for linkages between these and increasing human impact. I am particularly interested in following endangered Cuban Parrots and Parakeets’ population trajectories, and use this information to strengthen their protection
How does citizen science support your research?
Cuba is undergoing a significant increase in tourism, and plans for development projects are underway. Our project seeks to work with citizen scientists to promote people exchanges to safeguard Cuba’s biodiversity at this pivotal time of history. Citizen scientists will provide an exceptional opportunity to gather large sample numbers in a large area, generating sizable datasets to inform conservation in the short and mid-term. Through the involvement of citizen scientists, we will create a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and information sharing. Information regarding Cuba’s biodiversity and environmental challenges is often lacking in the English language, and people do not generally know about the conservation values of this island country. In this sense, citizen scientists will become ambassadors to improve public engagement and disseminate knowledge about Cuba’s outstanding biodiversity, local talent, and the challenges to conservation and management in the country. Citizen scientists will also be fundamental to harnessing the passion and enthusiasm for the benefit of nature conservation, and to share these positive attitudes with local communities. Citizen science will also promote the development of local leaders, who will have the chance to teach and learn from citizen scientists. Cuban citizens from rural communities will be invited to participate in monitoring activities.
What is one of your favorite moments in the field?
Cuba is an exceptional place for the nature-curious and nature-lovers. So many of the species you come across are endemic to the country – meaning that these occur only in Cuba, and sometimes only in a small area within Cuba. For me, one of the favorite moments in the field occurred in an early morning of bird monitoring. One usually looks at the top of trees expecting to see and identify birds. In Cuba, however, many other animals spend much of their time in the top of the trees. I was amazed to find a couple of Cuban iguanas and a mother and newly born hutia (medium-size rodents endemic to Cuba) that morning, while I was initially targeting birds. You never know what you can find in the forest!

Beatles drummer Ringo Starr could take the term ‘moving house’ to a whole new level.
The former residence of the 66-year-old, real name Richard Starkey, is reported to be moving down the road…brick by brick.
The terraced house in Toxteth, Liverpool, is set to be bulldozed along with more than 420 other homes as part of plans by the deputy prime minister.
But it has been saved after it was reported it could form part of a centrepiece at the £64 million Museum of Liverpool – one-and-a-half miles away.
The project is set to take 12 months and could cost £200,000 to move No 9 Madryn Street – which is only worth £65,000, according to the Daily Express.
It is hoped the house will attract more than one million visitors making it the most popular of The Beatles’ childhood homes.
The former properties of John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney are owned by the National Trust.

The Algorithms of Fear recently published in the Stanford Social Innovation Review brings new and needed insight to the insidious tendency in today’s political landscape to maintain the division between people who hold different views and have different paradigms. As we learned when Facebook was accused of a politically left bias in its “trending” news section, the media world heavily relies on algorithms to address its audiences. Algorithms are pieces of computer software that follow sets of rules to make calculations or solve problems. They are very good at “automatically” delivering content and information that people’s past online activity suggests they want.
But in this emotionally-charged political climate that’s a problem. If we are to make any progress on the tough issues that face us what’s needed is for people to be exposed to the other side of issues, to understand the reasoning and supporting evidence for the other person’s position.
The solution? The article suggests that government regulation combined with additional tools armed with algorithms “with new kinds of social values” are needed. Those solutions could very well make a difference.
But when passionate about an issue we would encourage people to take advantage of today’s technology and diverse media outlets to expose themselves to the dynamics that drive the opposing view. It doesn’t take much time and it will better position people to be part of a solution rather than put more fuel on the fire of the problem.


When last we reported on Fred Olen Ray’s newest foray into CGI-free creature featuredom, it was titled Dire Wolf. The distributors must not have liked the word “dire” because the title is now Dino Wolf. Hey, that “dino” suffix sure has done b-movie wonders for crocs and sharks so why not a mammal for a change?
From the creator of Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers comes the gory prehistoric mutant monster rampage Dire Wolf. Prepare to experience "One Terror B.C."

Mangrove swamps are amazingly diverse! Mangrove trees grow at the edge of the land, by the sea. Their roots grow down from their tree trunks, and they thrive in salty water. Birds, fish, crabs, and even oysters all flourish in and around these swamps. This book, part of the "Wonders of the Sea" series, includes well-written text about plants and animals that live in mangrove swamps, including the food chain, both human and natural threats, and how to protect these awesome habitats.

Maybe you have heard about it from the grapevine, from an online forum, or from an uncertified website, but there are a lot of technology myths about your devices that aren’t really true. This fact makes you think again about how you handle your devices.
Here are some of the major technology myths that you should stop believing:
- No Virus for Apple Products. This is not true. There are malwares that can penetrate Apple computers. In 2012, there were thousands of Mac computers that were affected by a Trojan. You probably believe this myth, because before the 2012 incident, Apple used to brag their devices aren’t susceptible to viruses.
- Private or Incognito browsing ensures privacy. This is a big misconception. Using Google Chrome’s Incognito or Safari’s Private browsing only means your browser won’t record your history, automatically log in to your online accounts, or have your bookmarks imported. It won’t keep you anonymous though, so stay away from the wrong sites.
- Plugging your phone too long destroys your battery. There is no proof that charging your battery too long will destroy your battery. Lithium-ion batteries are used by smartphones, and these types of battery can tell when to stop charging.
- More megapixel means better camera. The pixels don’t determine the clarity of the image. It is the amount of light that gives you a better photo.
- Charge your phone only when it is almost empty. Your battery loses its ability to hold charge because it has a limited number of charge cycles, which is the capacity of your battery to charge back to its full capacity. Its diminishing charge cycle is the reason why your battery life weakens, and not because you charged your phone even before it got empty.
- Higher Display Resolution makes smartphones better. The human eyes can see the details of the phone despite the display resolution of your smartphone, according to recent research.
- Don’t use iPad Charger on your iPhone. It will still take more than a year to see a small effect of using your iPad charger for your iPhone.

Approval of Donald Trump's performance as president among New Hampshire residents remains low. Trump's personal favorability and approval of his handling of the economy and foreign affairs are largely unchanged. New Hampshire Republicans are more likely to approve of the job Trump is doing and more likely to view him favorably than they were last October and Republicans are more optimistic about the outlook of the country than they have been at any point since 2005.

As always, news first:
Division I Council set to vote Wednesday on moving the start of the college hoops season to Nov. 21. Source also said there will be recommendation of playing a minimum of 4 non-conference games and potential to start 8 hours/week to work with players - target date is Sept. 21.— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) September 14, 2020
Obviously, pushing the date back means some non-conference games are going to get dropped. That would be clear even without reading the recommendation that teams play "at least four" non-con games, which is a bar way lower than what every team in the NCAA usually clears in that regard. The powers that be are clearly leaving teams free to decide their own approaches to basketball under a pandemic.
There's also the potential to start full practice as soon as next week, which would give two months to the day to get things settled before games could kick off. Obviously, if your favorite team is bringing in like six new players, you'd love to see as much time as possible to get new guys blooded in.
This is going to be a weird season in a lot of ways, not least of which is going to be the start date. Hopefully by this March, we're in something like a normal position and our biggest worry is seeding. Wear those masks, everybody.

Normally, when an 8-seed upsets a 1-seed, like the Golden State Warriors did in 2007 or the Memphis Grizzlies did last year, NBA fans are generally thrilled for an underdog team that beat the odds and prevailed.
This time, however, it’s hard to feel anything but a sense of melancholy for the Chicago Bulls, who did everything right all season long only to see it all go catastrophically awry when Derrick Rose made that ill-fated jump stop in Game 1.
The 76ers deserve a lot of credit for taking care of business and beating the Bulls, particularly in a tightly-contested 79-78 Game 6. Especially since Chicago played well without Rose in the lineup all year. But it’s hard not to put an asterisk on this series when the Bulls were without their best offensive player for the final five games of the series and the leader of their defense for the final two.
With the win the Sixers will face the Celtics in the next round in a series that will begin on Saturday.
The Bulls gave the 76ers everything they could handle in game 6, holding them to just 79 points on sub-40% shooting from the field, but without Rose and Noah they simply couldn’t muster enough offense to bring the series back to Chicago for a Game 7. Carlos Boozer will be a likely scapegoat for the Bulls after this game, as he was only able to score 3 points on 1-11 shooting in a game where the Bulls needed him to provide some offense. Luol Deng and Rip Hamilton were able to provide some offense for the Bulls, but with Boozer melting down and C.J. Watson, Rose’s backup, only managing 6 points on 2-11 shooting, the Bulls simply didn’t have enough scoring to get past the 76ers’ tough defense.
To the Bulls’ credit, they hung tough after falling behind early, and actually had a great chance to win the game late. With a 1-point lead and the ball, Omer Asik went to the line with a chance to put the Bulls up 3 points with 7 seconds remaining. Unfortunately for Chicago, Asik, a 45.6% free throw shooter in the regular season, came up empty at the line, and 5 seconds later Andre Iguodala was able to hit two free throws and end the Bulls’ fantastic season before they had a chance to make a true playoff run.
The big question facing the Bulls coming out of this series is whether they will be willing to stand pat and chalk their disappointing playoff run up to the Rose and Noah injuries or make a big move, one that would likely involve Carlos Boozer. Boozer is a great rebounder and can fill it up in the regular season, but great defenses have given him trouble in the playoffs: he shot 42.2% in this series, 40.7% in last year’s series against the Heat, and 44.6% against the Lakers in the 2010 playoffs. The Bulls have a great young core, unmatched depth, and one of the best coaches in the league, but it may be time to ask if they can win a championship with Carlos Boozer playing a major role against top-level defenses in a 7-game series.
As for the 76ers, they showed why they shouldn’t be overlooked in this series — they play tough defense, they have a lot of depth, and they come to play for the full 48 minutes. They’ll certainly be the underdogs when they play the Celtics or the Hawks, but they shouldn’t be counted out either.
For now, they should celebrate their 1st-round victory, even though most NBA fans are probably feeling more sympathy for the Bulls than excitement for the 76ers right about now.
