Radoslaw Bella is a Uefa A Licence coach.
When Marcelo Bielsa was at Marseille in 2014-15 Bella followed the man whose tactical influence stretches wider than most others in the modern game, with Pep Guardiola considering him his mentor.
To understand the philosophy of Marcelo Bielsa, we must for a moment give up analysis of his Marseille team and look at his Athletic Bilbao side which mastered the model of the coach to a very high degree. The goal is to deliver the ball into the penalty area as soon as possible.
The shortest route is vertical passes. Once the opponent's midfield line is beaten by the first vertical pass, in the next step players are ready for the second pass, which is intended to overcome the opponent's defensive line.
Vertical passes are not 'high' or long balls, rather they are direct passes whose purpose is to break through the defensive lines.Team FC
Many actions which begin with the central defenders end with vertical passes to the opponent’s penalty area. The idea of vertical passes is crucial. Every
action is designed with the purpose of creating the space and structure to work the ball forward.
If you look at the picture of his OM team above you can see the strategy in action:
i) Progression in the game - actions to progress in the game.
ii) Vertical pass - forward!
iii) As quickly as possible, along the ground or long ball
iv) Beat last line of the opponent + finalising the action in the penalty area
In most Bielsa matches, periods of high pressing were generally short because it was important to recover the ball as quickly as possible. Bielsa believes that it is unnecessary to defend longer than necessary.
Considering football is a game of time and space, when you start pressing you should reduce the size of the pitch for the opponent so that they don't have the freedom to attack.
In the above image pressing begins with Andre-Pierre Gignac (centre-forward, in 2 v 1 situation with CBs) who is pushing the central defenders and making it impossible to pass between them. By running the yellow arrows you can force the opponent to choose one side of the attack.
A small pitch equals high defence activity, which has two benefits; firstly, reducing the size of the field for defenders and any advantage that can be gained around the ball. There is one clear rule stop the opponent from changing sides. When you have a numerical advantage, you should press the opponent and do not let him get out of the press. Without aggressive dash, even shortening and closing the space will not help.
DEALING WITH A HIGH PRESS
Bielsa's teams react to high pressing from the opposition in two ways:
His teams form an offensive structure that allows them to cover key spaces on the field, which made it easier to escape from opponents pressing.
This allows players to better enable interpretation of game situations, and more effectively adapt to the opponent's game. The structure is based on the distance between team-mates, which allows you to work as a collective unit both on a macro and micro scale.
The response (triggers) to events is based on the following parameters:
i) Ball location
ii) Free space
iii) Positioning of team-mates
iv) Positioning of opponents
If the player with the ball is pressed, players from higher in the formation move down the pitch to provide support and a passing option.
Support results in better communication and connections between players. The fact that the player with the ball has more possibilities to pass increase safety and decrease risk when building an attack. Without support you are forced to play 1 v 1 or just kick the ball away. Communication between players is key.
Another important tactical move from Bielsa is to dominate the centre of the pitch. The numerical advantage in midfield has a huge impact on future events. Just as in chess, the most important thing is to master the centre of the board, so in football the dominating the middle causes trouble for opponents.
The reason is simple – it gives you more options. If the midfield is able to control the game, other players can move into attacking positions. That seems to be priority for any football team that wants to play offensive football.

Michael Andretti wants Kurt Busch back to drive in the 2015 Indianapolis 500.
According to a report on FoxSports.com, Andretti said the door is open for Busch to return for a second consecutive attempt at “The Double” on May 24: Racing in the 99th Indy 500 in the early afternoon and then competing in NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway that evening.
“I am a big supporter of Kurt and if we are able to put a deal together for him to run the Indianapolis 500 I will still run him,” Andretti told FOXSports.com. “He did a great job at the Indy 500 last year.
“Right now, our focus is on putting a fourth car together but there is still a possibility for something to come together for Indy. I would love to do it with Kurt Busch again. He was a pleasure to work with.”
Busch won Rookie of the Year honors in his first Indy 500 last May, finishing sixth in the so-called Greatest Spectacle In Racing.
His luck wasn’t as good in the NASCAR nightcap in Charlotte, where mechanical issues forced him out about two-thirds through the race, ultimately ending up with a 40th-place finish.
For now, Andretti isn’t letting Busch’s legal issues with former girlfriend Patricia Driscoll come into play in his decision to once again run the Las Vegas native in an Indy car.
The next hearing in the case is Jan. 12. It could be announced then whether Busch will face criminal charges stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident in his motorhome at Dover International Speedway last September.
Dover (Del.) police have completed their criminal investigation and forwarded their findings to the Delaware Attorney General to determine whether Busch will or will not face charges.
As for Andretti Autosport’s overall plans for the Indy 500:
“We want to have a fourth full-time car, that’s our goal,” Andretti told FoxSports.com. “We are working very hard to get to four cars.
“My ultimate goal is to run five cars for the full year but, if we don’t, we want to do a one-off at Indy at least and, if we can put something together with Kurt Busch, we would love to do it.
“He was a real professional and learned a lot to the point where I think he would be a real factor in the race if we put something together. He did a hell of a job last year without experience.
“Now, with one more year of experience, I think Kurt Busch could be a real factor in the Indianapolis 500 in 2015.”

Sweta Ranjan | September 15, 2015
The role of men in gender sensitisation is critical because all the violence is male generated, said union minister for women and child development (WCD) Maneka Gandhi during a live Facebook chat with people on Monday.
Maneka was live on the social media to interact with people and recognise achievers under '#100Women' initiative launched in July. Under this initiative, the ministry has collaborated with Facebook to identify 100 women across the country who made a difference to their communities.
Replying to a question, she said, “We have introduced Gender Champions in schools, under which boys who have been respectful and helpful to girls will be rewarded".
Maneka was asked many questions related to child education, health and safety and crimes against women.
To a question alleged rape of two women by a Saudi diplomat in Gurgaon, Maneka said that the case was an eye-opener and has raised many concerns. She added that the central government would come up with safeguards to prevent such incidents in future.
She informed that the ministry will set up 'One Stop Centres' called 'Sakhi' for troubled women.

Norman Wolmark, M.D., FACS, FRCSC, is renowned for pioneering lumpectomy as the standard of care for invasive and non-invasive breast cancer. His groundbreaking work to eliminate the need for radical mastectomy has improved the quality of life for countless breast cancer patients worldwide.
But Dr. Wolmark points to his work bringing clinical trials into the scientific mainstream as his preeminent career achievement. Over the last four decades, Dr. Wolmark has led numerous clinical trials, including two of the largest chemoprevention clinical trials that secured FDA approval for tamoxifen and raloxifene in breast cancer prevention for people at high risk of breast cancer.
Dr. Wolmark received the 2022 Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction in Clinical Research for spearheading more effective and less invasive options for breast cancer care, as well as shifting the breast cancer research field into a preventive and more personalized standard of care.
“Our work convinced surgeons and clinicians and medical oncologists that the standard of care needs to be defined using the scientific method,” Dr. Wolmark said. “Prior to that, we were in an age of tyranny, in essence, when anyone could ascend to the professorial pulpit and armed with a retrospective case series could virtually dictate how a disease was treated for the better part of a century.”
Dr. Wolmark described the breast cancer surgical field as “hostile” when he entered it in 1973, as radical mastectomy had long been considered the standard of care for patients. He worked closely with the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), a clinical trials cooperative, to challenge the absolute need for radical mastectomy through clinical trials.
“I remember being booed by an audience of several thousand when we were describing the results of protocol B04, which was the pivotal trial that challenged the retreat from radical mastectomy, and subsequently B06, which was the lumpectomy trial,” Dr. Wolmark said. “Fortunately, the data were convincing, and these trials did change the standard of care dramatically.”
Pioneering Clinical Trials
Dr. Wolmark first became interested in breast cancer during his surgical oncology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. At the time, breast cancer was not a specialty area of study, but Dr. Wolmark forged his own path in the field by leading clinical trials.
“Because of my interest in clinical trials and because I realized that therapy was being carried out completely devoid of objective scientific data, I became very interested in the treatment of early breast cancer — again, using the scientific method and clinical trials as a platform,” Dr. Wolmark said.
In addition to his work in initiating clinical trials, Dr. Wolmark also led the development of the 21-gene recurrence score assay, Oncotype DX, a tumor profiling test that predicts the chance of metastasis and helps determine the benefit of using chemotherapy in addition to hormone therapy in certain patients.
Dr. Wolmark believes his success in challenging the radical mastectomy paved the way for the ascent of systemic therapy and the first clinical trials for adjuvant chemotherapy.
“It raised the question whether adjuvant chemotherapy was working for premenopausal patients through a hormonal mechanism by targeting the ovaries,” Dr. Wolmark said. “It’s a question that’s still relevant today.”
Following his success in developing the oncotype assay, Dr. Wolmark is preparing to initiate a new clinical trial that will examine whether radiation therapy is necessary for women with high risk, early-stage breast cancer with an oncotype score of under 18.
In addition to transforming the standard of care for patients, Dr. Wolmark takes great pride in his work that aided in helping to prevent breast cancer in women at high risk. His efforts led two of the largest breast cancer prevention clinical trials that treated women at high risk who didn’t have breast cancer with tamoxifen or a placebo.
“We randomized 13,388 women in that trial, which was P1, and showed that tamoxifen could reduce the subsequent incidence of invasive breast cancer by 50%,” Dr. Wolmark said. “The next trial, P2, which compared tamoxifen to raloxifene — and was the indication trial in that setting for raloxifene — showed that raloxifene was almost as good as tamoxifen without the risk to the uterus.”
In looking back on his work that revolutionized the standard of breast cancer care over the past four decades, Dr. Wolmark said he is honored to receive the Brinker Award in recognition of his achievements. His mentor, the late Dr. Bernie Fisher, who chaired the NSABP before Dr. Wolmark took on the role, received the first Brinker Award in 1992.
“We’re not focused to carry out our work to receive awards, but once you receive the award, it’s extremely gratifying,” Dr. Wolmark said. “If we look at previous Brinker winners, I’m certainly honored and humbled to be in the presence of those individuals. I really want to express how grateful I am to receive it.”

After his tour in the waters off the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, he retired from the Navy and began seriously researching the subject. As a result, he and his co-author, journalist Michael Hirsh, have put together a very readable book that serves as a comprehensive introductory course on the subject. Pirate Alley includes a behind-the-scenes look at the SEAL Team 6 takedown of the pirates who had kidnapped Captain Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama. It also reveals what a young PhD candidate from Duke University found during three months on the ground in Somali pirate villages.
Pirate Alley explores every aspect of Somali piracy, from how the pirates operate to how the actions of a relative handful of youthful criminals and their bosses have impacted the world economy. The book examines various answers to the question: "How do you solve a problem like Somalia?" It explores the debate over the recently adopted practice of putting armed guards aboard merchant ships, and focuses on the best management practices that are changing the ways that ships are outfitted for travel through what’s known as the High Risk Area.

too limited a view
In fairness to the author, this was more of a book about the role of the Navy in preventing and/or dealing with pirates, than with the pirate issue itself. I was hoping to learn a lot more about how the pirates organize, operate and negotiate. Nonetheless, the book did provide a good survey of what the Navy does in this area, as well as what the shipping companies are doing to combat the problem.

New Route for Fans, Better Bunkers for Players
The Ryder Cup matches will be coming to Hazeltine National Golf Club in 2016 and preparations for golf’s premiere international team competition have long been underway. The world’s top golfers will play a very different version of the storied course when they come to Chaska in September of 2016 thanks to a re-route of the holes, designed to maximize the impact for spectators and an overhaul of the bunkers, designed to improve drainage and play for years to come. Here’s an overview of the changes to Hazeltine for the 2016 Ryder Cup, and a hint that there may be more to come.
The course has been undergoing a subtle facelift since the 2009 PGA Championship, and the most recent change is an overhaul of 107 bunkers throughout the course. “We felt we got the greens in good shape after 2010. We got the fairways in good shape after 2010. Both of those are in really good shape,” said Chandler Withington, head golf professional at Hazeltine National. “Our bunkers were the last piece of the puzzle, and those are done now. So we are really optimistic about the shape the course is going to be in for the tournament in 2016.”
According to Withington, the bunkers were long overdue for a new drainage system, and the renovation project was completed just before the snow began to fall in mid-November. “That was a big project. Our bunkers needed a huge hug,” he said. “They had major drainage issues, consistency issues, a lot of things going on. Our bunkers hadn’t been touched in over 15 years.”
Dunnick Construction, the golf course restoration company, came in with a backhoe and pulled all the sand out of the bunkers. They added a lining system of peat rock gravel with a sealant to the bunkers, where none previously existed.
“It was just dirt and sand before, so every time it rained, the bunkers would just fill up like cereal bowls,” Withington said. “It didn't take much rain at all and there would be standing water in our bunkers and we would have to pump all the water out. If we got rain during one of the rounds of the Ryder Cup, we wouldn’t have the time to pump out and restore all 107 bunkers.”
The improved bunkers will drain better and the new sand will be consistent and increase long-term playability. In the past, dirt mixed in with the sand when the bunkers drained poorly, making them more difficult to play.
The Ryder Cup will use holes 1-4 and 14-18 for the front nine at Hazeltine, and then 10 through 13 and five through nine for the back. The par 5 seventh and par 3 eighth over water will have plenty of drama and room for spectators—which is just what the PGA of America was looking for.
The club proposed the new route to give more spectators a chance to see the climax of the event. Match play tournaments don’t often end on the final hole, and at Hazeltine, holes 16 and 17 have restricted viewing areas.
“The 16th hole, for example, has water going all the way on the right side of the fairway, and if the Ryder Cup matches were to end there, maybe 5,000 people would be able to see it,” Withington said. “That's not a very high percentage of 40,000 people. We want as many people as possible to be able to see the play--especially on the pivotal holes.”
Withington said the American Ryder Cup team captain will be chosen by February, and he may have some changes in course set up in store to help create a “home field advantage,” but those changes remain to be seen.
We saw in 2012 where captain Davis Love mowed the rough at Medina,” Withington said. “And Paul Azinger in 2008 was very intentional in some of the things he did at Valhalla. There was one hole where he cut down a tree because J.B. Holmes was long enough to cut the corner. Strategically they have to get an idea for who’s on their team. So we will see; a lot of that is to be determined, but the course is set and waiting for the 2016 matches and the anticipation is only going to grow.
“The way the Ryder Cup ended in Gleneagles with the U.S. losing again and players speaking up about what needed to be done and there being a task force being involved,” Withington said, “it all builds toward us. Hopefully we can get the U.S. team to win here and put us back on the map.”
Hazeltine National Golf Club is a private golf club located in Chaska, Minn., about 30 minutes southwest of downtown Minneapolis. The club opened in 1962 with a mission to build and maintain a golf course suitable for the conduct of national championships. Hazeltine is one of only two courses in the United States to have hosted the U.S. Open, PGA Championship, U.S. Senior Open, U.S. Women’s Open, U.S. Amateur, and Ryder Cup. Hazeltine’s meeting and event space, golf shop and specified services in the learning center are open to the public.

Russia builds up its military presence in a number of footbridges. Recently, the media reported the deployment of S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems in the annexed Crimea; and the process clearly continues, as Russia's cutting-edge electronic warfare systems appear in Kaliningrad Oblast, the Russian exclave in the Baltic region. Jamestown Foundation focused on the issue in its article.
'On October 28, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the latest version of the Samarkand EW system had been deployed to Kaliningrad and other strategic areas. At least 16 of these new systems were deployed in 13 units, as part of a wider program costing 61 million rubles ($920,000) and scheduled for completion by November 2019. Moscow-based Russian military specialists believe that the Samarkand EW system is designed to jam an adversary’s communication systems; it would target enemy command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) assets and operate against GPS (including by “spoofing”), confusing enemy coordinates. Military analyst Vladislav Shurygin notes that the Samarkand is a suppression system, meaning that when enemy forces attempt to conduct operations within its zone, they will experience problems with communications and all electronic equipment, ranging from sights to guidance systems (Izvestia, October 28)', the story reads.
Certain types of such systems are expected to do more than merely jam the enemy infrastructure. 'In November, the leadership of the group of defense companies responsible for producing EW systems announced a new program to develop modernized EW protection for Russia’s various cruise missile types (Voyenno Promyshlennyy Kuryer, December 7)', the article said.
The outlet also specified, with references to Russia's defense industry experts, that both the ground-based and the naval versions of the ECM weapons are developed. 'Still, the importance of placing modernized EW assets in regions close to NATO’s borders underlies an effort to boost and consolidate existing A2/AD capability in such strategically important locations (News-front.info, November 1)', Jamestown Foundation wrote.

Today Copenhagen Airport has defined itself as the hub of Scandinavian air traffic. Each year 12 million visitors pass through the complex structures of the airport – a movement controlled primarily by semiotics. Here the term semiotics is not restricted to the characteristic blue and yellow signs – guiding passengers through the jumble of commercials and offers from the airport shops – but refers equally to an architectural semiotic underlining a hierarchy and diversity to the experience of the visitor when moving through the airport.
Location: Kastrup, Danmark
Function: Terminal building, airport
Main Contractor: CPH Københavns Lufthavne
Building period: 2005-2006
Byggeperiode: 14 months
Gross floor area: 4500 m²
Building Contractor: Promecon A/S
Engineer: Moe & Brødsgaard A/S
With the dedicated goal of maintaining its status as a world class airport, CPH is under constant development. The focus is improvement, not just of logistics, but also of visitors’ experience.
It is in this context that the connecting finger unfolds as an indoor corridor between the domestic and international terminals. The project was awarded first prize in a competition that put high demands on aesthetic, financial and functional parameters in the design of an iconic building, characterised by integrated design solutions.
The preliminary challenge in designing the Connecting Finger was to create a synergy effect whereby a 13 meter high noise-reduction wall, a covered area for busses and a reduction in travel time between terminals would be integrated into an iconic piece of architecture. The building was to be unique, yet function as a natural part of the complex context of the airport. Additionally, the construction of the building should permit future expansion or reconstruction and require a minimal amount of maintenance.
On this basis the Connecting Finger stands today – 300 meters in length, 13 meters in height, and containing 450 meters of travelators – a simple architectural expression, that in a sophisticated manner utilises its scale to create a distinctive architectural experience. The difference in scale between human and aircraft dimensions has been an important source of inspiration to the conceptual idea. The concept plays with the contrast between ‘landside’ and ‘airside’ expressed through spatial elements, inspired by the universe of air traffic.
The spatial idiom of the connecting finger appears in its cross-section, where two curved arches meet in the physical form of pointed steel frames. The curved steel frames are spaced at 6 meter intervals and rest on two strip foundations running the whole length of the building. The building comprises two floors, the ground floor containing three separate mechanical equipment rooms and opens up to the north. On the first floor the passengers can move between the terminals via two open corridors: the cantilevered northern part of the building hosts the travelators divided into three sections while the southern part has a concrete floor covered with tiles. Three separate side-buildings connect the floors with elevators and stairs.
As far as the choices of constructive elements are concerned, two aspects have played a compelling role: the requirement that the building be flexible with a view to future expansion or alteration as well as the need for a column-free roof, hence a building that cantilevers in more than 50 % of its own length. These requirements were met by making extensive use of prefabricated building components and by using steel frames as the supporting structure.
From the landside, the Connecting Finger evokes association with ‘traditional’ airport architecture, as its curved shape stretches out in a soft aerodynamic shape. The surface of the aluminium discs and the visible rivets impart a raw but light expression with a clear reference to aircraft design.
Moving through the interior of the building, one experiences a heaviness in the materials and a spaciousness, emphasising the impressive scale. The light interior creates a friendly and accommodating atmosphere and the soft curves draw parallels to the idiom of the aeroplane.
The regular rhythm of the steel frames gives the impression of an infinite space and moving through the Connecting Finger feels like floating through a vacuum – a break in the middle of the pulsating airport – like a short but unique journey through a special architectural space, where the yellow-blue signs are the only element connecting the building to the rest of the airport.
The architectural experience is further varied through the layout of the windows, as it articulates the concept of distinguishing between landside and airside. Like beads on a string, small windows lie in a shimmering pattern revealing only a small part of the sky towards the airside. The windows create an elegant shadow play, which fills the room during daytime. Towards the north, the building opens up through large windows to create visual contact with the landside and simultaneously let the cool Nordic light into the building.
The Connecting Finger takes its place in the history of Danielsen Architechture as an exceptional project where a strong architectural idiom and intelligent constructive solutions come together. The clear functionally based requirements quickly became an interesting catalyst for a spatial experience where an architectural narrative is the starting point for a special symbiosis between functionality and art.

While he hasn’t made headlines in a while, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) burst onto the scene as one of the leading Republicans trying to sabotage President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. He was the one who spearheaded the letter several conservatives sent directly to Iranian government officials essentially telling them that they shouldn’t get too excited about the deal they worked out with us, because the GOP was going to do everything it could to make sure the United States never fulfills their end of the bargain.
It was honestly the closest thing to treason I think I’ve ever seen; an entire political party actively trying to sabotage a president’s foreign policy.
Well, Cotton recently made news again when he went on some incoherent word salad of a rant linking Social Security disability benefits to heroin addiction and crime:
It’s hard to say what came first or caused the other, population decline or increased disability usage. Or maybe economic stagnation caused both. Regardless, there seems to be at least at the county and regional level something like a disability tipping point. When a county hits a certain level of disability usage, disability becomes a norm,” he continued. “It becomes an acceptable way of life and alternative source of income to a good paying full-time job as opposed to a last resort safety net program to deal with catastrophic injury and illness.
At a certain point when disability keeps climbing and become endemic, employers will struggle to find employees or begin or continue to move out of the area. The population continues to fall and a downward spiral kicks in, driving once thriving communities into further decline.
Not only that, but once this spiral begins, communities could begin to suffer other social plagues as well, such as heroin or meth addiction and associated crime.
Actually, a leading cause behind many medical disability claims is a result of Americans not having access to health care, resulting in health conditions becoming so severe later in life they’re eventually rendered disabled because of them. When people lack preventative health care, their health worsens, often resulting in catastrophic medical events later on that could have been prevented. Then again, that requires “big picture thinking,” something Republicans clearly lack.
Cotton showed this by trying to link a reliance on Social Security benefits to a decline in the overall population of an area. I like how he wants to attribute that decline to the reliance on benefits as opposed to an economy where the top 0.1 percent of Americans have more wealth than the bottom 90 percent. As always, Republicans blame the poor instead of the real cause of a lot of these poverty issues – greed.
Tom Cotton, like just about every other Republican, believes in a top-down economy. He supports policies that benefit the rich, while placing the burden of running this country on everyone else – as evidenced by this ridiculous rant where he literally tried blame disabled, often impoverished Americans who can’t work to a path toward crime and drug addiction.
I would say this is an embarrassment for the country, but rhetoric like this is just the new-norm within the Republican party.

Thousands have signed a petition in protest at David Cameron's pro-EU 'propaganda'
The Prime Minister will now be forced into a humbling debate on his controversial decision to spend nearly £10million of public cash on a Europhile leaflet after voters gave their damning verdict.
Within hours of an online petition being set up, an astonishing 100,000 had signed to condemn the PM's plans, which provoked outrage amongst Brexit campaigners and sparked accusations the Government is using taxpayers’ money to ‘fix’ the upcoming referendum.
The petition passed the magic number at 10.32pm last night, meaning it must now be considered for a debate amongst MPs in parliament.
By this evening more than 160,00 people had signed the online protest. Get Britain Out, which organised the mass protest, tweeted its thanks to all those who leant their support and said the petition could be debated by MPs as early as Tuesday.
The vast majority of those people signed it in the last 24 hours, since the Prime Minister confirmed the publication of the leaflet, to a huge outpouring of anger.
It has provided an astonishing display of the depth of public feeling over the issue, with the rate of signatures accrued believed to be close to the fastest ever recorded on the Government’s e-petition website.
The comprehensive manner in which the petition reached 100,000 signatures combined with the the growing anger amongst Mr Cameron’s eurosceptic backbenchers over his handling of the referendum means it is unlikely he will be able to avoid the humiliating Commons showdown.
Several high-profile Tories publicly backed the protest including former Defence Secretary Liam Fox, who said the leaflet is "not within the spirit" of the referendum campaign.
YouGov polling released today shows that 85% of people think the Government's leaflet will be biased and 58% disprove of it all together, according to the Vote Leave group.
The petition is a humiliating blow for David Cameron
The petition passed 100,000 signatures at 10.32pm tonight
I can only encourage as many people as possible to sign it and send a clear message to the Government.
Earlier Brexit campaigners expressed open outrage over the Prime Minister’s plan to splurge £9.3 million of public money on the proBrussels leaflets.
The 16-page booklets, which will be delivered to every household in the UK, will tell voters it is best to remain in the EU at this summer’s in/out referendum.
But the multi-million pound spend has sparked a furious political row, with the Prime Minister accused of trying to rig the EU referendum campaign in his favour.
The fury led to a surge in support for the petition on the Government’s official petitions website.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage urged others to back the petition as he called on the Government “to do the right thing and withdraw this document”.
He said: "I can only encourage as many people as possible to sign it and send a clear message to the Government.
“It is our money and the Prime Minister doesn't have our permission to spend it in this way".
The leaflet will cost taxpayers £9.3 million
It has been dismissed as pro-Brussels propaganda by Brexit campaigners
Mayor of London Boris Johnson and former defence secretary Liam Fox have both hit out at the pro-EU leaflets being orchestrated by Downing Street at taxpayers’ expense.
Justice Secretary Michael Gove, a fellow Brexit campaigner, said it was “wrong” for the Prime Minister to spend public cash on the leaflet instead of public services such as the NHS at a time of Government spending cuts.
Eurosceptics also pointed to an earlier commitment by Europe Minister David Lidington to “make sure that the referendum is seen by both sides as fair”.
The petition, titled ‘Stop Cameron spending British taxpayers’ money on Pro-EU Referendum leaflets’, was originally set up in December last year when it first emerged the Government was preparing a pro-EU dossier.
At that stage, Mr Cameron had still yet to complete his EU renegotiation deal and was publicly insisting he was ‘ruling nothing out’ when it came to which way he would campaign at the referendum.
The petition states: “Prime Minister David Cameron plans to spend British taxpayers’ money on a pro-EU document to be sent to every household in the United Kingdom in the run up to the EU referendum. We believe voters deserve a fair referendum - without taxpayer-funded biased interceptions by the Government.
“We, the petitioners, demand the Government STOPS spending our money on biased campaigning to keep Britain inside the European Union.
“The Great British Public have waited since 1975 for a vote on our relationship with Brussels. No taxpayers’ money should be spent on campaign literature to keep Britain inside the EU.
After 10,000 signatures the petition was entitled to a Government response, which read: “The EU Referendum Act 2015 commits the Government to provide information to the public on EU membership ahead of the vote, and that is what we will do.”
UKIP leader Nigel Farage had encouraged people to sign the petition
The PM is lurching from crisis to crisis over the EU
Jayne Adye, of Get Britain Out campaign and who launched the petition, said: “For the Prime Minister to send out clearly biased propaganda to every household in the UK at taxpayers’ expense in an attempt to swing the referendum vote is disgusting.
“Allowing one campaign to spend more than another campaign is not how a mature democracy should conduct a debate on the biggest issue facing the Great British Public – our membership of the EU.
“The argument should be won on the strength of the argument and the true facts – not lies, and without a doubt, not because of the amount of money thrown behind it.
“The ‘Remain’ campaign understands the popular arguments are not on their side, whether it’s democracy, security or immigration, they have failed to convince the people of this country.”
“Please sign Get Britain Out’s petition to ensure this referendum is fair and seen to be fair.
“Both sides should spend equal amounts of money, and neither side should be able to use the power of Government and our money in an attempt to skew the debate.”

So they don’t respect the school kids privacy or right to anonymously comment on how teachers do their job and bully kids into not posting on RateMyTeachers (and yes I have proof if anyone would like to challenge this) but when a news org like the Irish Times wants access to their data, they go all the way to the Supreme court to fight it?

Pastors are generally not numbers people. Small group pastors, especially, are more oriented to shepherding than accounting. If this is you, then measuring seems tedious, time-consuming, and not something you are wired for. You are more interested in reaching, discipling, and serving people. Yet I challenge you to think about measuring your groups through another lens. Here are three reasons to measure the size of your group:
1. You want to reach lost groups.
Lost groups are groups that don’t meet anymore or, when they do meet, less than half of them bother to show up. These are groups that are wandering around the open country separated from the vision, values, and strategies you are providing as their shepherd. Like the shepherd in Luke 15, you need to count to identify which groups have lost their way.
2. You want to build groups where disciples are made.
When you go to lost or struggling groups, you have an unbelievable chance to pick them up and carry them back to the vision and goal of Christian life together. Group members usually wander off course because of conflict, poor leadership, disagreements, or other relational problems. When these things happen, people stop coming; groups stop meeting. But if you measure and spot these trends in your small groups early on, then you have the chance to go to them, learn what’s going on, and help them grow in their walk with Jesus.
3. You need to steward your time to serve people most effectively.
You can’t do everything and be everywhere at the same time. As a small group pastor, it’s easy to only hang out with your healthy groups. In fact, if you measure these groups, you will quickly realize that 80 percent or more attend every time those groups meet. This tells you something is happening in this group that people love. They don’t want to miss—they will even plan their vacation around when their group gets together. These are the groups where new leaders are being formed; you want to stay close to them. But you also need to invest time in the groups that are in critical growth seasons.
It has been said that the best times for coaching in small group ministry are when a group: 1. begins; 2. goes through a stormy season; or 3. needs to reproduce to stay healthy. By developing a system to measure when a group is in any of these three seasons, you can focus your time and energy where it will count the most.
If your primary reason for measuring group life is to brag about your numbers, then you’ve missed the whole point of measuring. Good shepherds measure not to brag, but to reach lost groups, make disciples, and be found faithful stewards.

Kate Mansi On Her Way To Get Married And Have A Husband? Know It All In Her Bio
In this busy world when no one has time, it feels amazing when one makes you feel special by devoting their time for you only. And when your special one surprises you with some beautiful and heartwarming experiences you cherish; it compels you to love the person even more.
Actress Kate Mansi shares the similar love for her thoughtful boyfriend who surprises her with lovely treats and makes her feel special. But does she have any plans of getting married to her boyfriend? Let's dig that out.
Any Plans to Turn Boyfriend into husband:
The Valentine’s Day is the occasion to celebrate love and make them feel special as well and talented actress Kate Mansi was surprised with a horseback ride tour in Bermuda beaches, as she loved horse riding since she was a little girl. Moreover, Mansi shared that she thinks she loved Bermuda, but she loves her boyfriend even more.
Though Kate has revealed that she is dating a boyfriend, but has kept him a mystery and their fans are wondering if he is the one with whom she will get married and share a husband-wife relationship.
All about Kate Mansi, Her Family and Bio:
Kate Mansi was born on September 15, 1987, in California, USA and from a young age she started dancing and joined Pacific Ballet Festival at the age of 15. She graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu where she studied film and public relation and following her dream to become an actress appeared on various television shows, but her claim to fame was serial “Days of Our Lives” where she portrayed the role of “Abigail Deveraux.”
Moreover, she remains totally active over social medias, which clearly evident when we stalk her Instagram. Back in September 2016, she thanked all her fans for thoughtful gifts on her birthday that was on the previous day.
Besides that, she also loves sharing her childhood memories over Instagram.
My absolute best memories were made dancing with my childhood studio @california_dance_theatre. I'm so proud to go back each season for their Nutcracker performances- and especially proud to watch my friend, who's more like a sister, @misstilerpeck of @nycballet as their guest Sugar Plum Fairy. As beautiful as ever you were today Tiler and congrats to CDT on another amazing year! To the little ones out there dreaming to be dancers some day- just keep going. Dancing through childhood will bring you more joy, friendship, and cherished memories than any gift you could ever receive.XO
Along with that, she shares pictures with her mom and dad, while truly showering her love and respect for them.
However, there was a special person in Kate's life, her grandmother, Honey, her "girl hero" who not only had faith in her dreams but even paid her for her acting classes off campus. Paying tribute to her grandmother, she shared an image on Instagram where she expressed,
"I believe Katie, that if we don't do what we're meant to do, it will be like a poison that keeps you from your truest self. It's a privilege to have vision at a young age and there's a responsibility to follow through, because it's not something everyone has so young. You just needed a little push."
Helen Anne Murphy, my grandmother, our "Honey". My most important #girlhero. While my parents insisted I wait to pursue acting until graduating from Pepperdine University, Honey secretly paid for me to take acting classes off campus. I remember feeling this intense amount of courage in the presence of challenges those four years simply because she believed in me and I wanted so badly to make her proud. On her 88th birthday recently, I asked her why she did that without ever knowing if I was any good or not and I'll never forget the words that followed : "I believe Katie, that if we don't do what we're meant to do, it will be like a poison that keeps you from your truest self. It's a privilege to have vision at a young age and there's a responsibility to follow through, because it's not something everyone has so young. You just needed a little push." I can confidently say that this incredible woman, has gently (sometimes not so gently) nudged every person who's crossed her path towards a truer self. The wisdom, support and guidance from Honey has had a tremendous impact on my life and who I am as a woman. Honoring her today as my #girlhero, who is yours ?
Besides family, she also loves showing her love for horses, both off and on the social medias.
Huge thanks to @fei_usa, for generously donating on my behalf to the therapeutic riding school @gloryreins. Hearing the life changing impact #gloryreins riding school has had on students was deeply moving. It reinforced why I've been a horse lover all my life. There's nothing like the bond between a horse and an equestrian and I'm so excited to cheer on the Olympic team #Rio2016 #twohearts! #equinetherapy @dedeholm
Kate love horses but her first love will forever remain dancing, as per the image she shared back in 2015.
Also, time and again gorgeous Kate who is 5 feet 2 inches tall along with terrific measurements flaunts her flexibility through her Instagram post.
Moreover, Kate believes that mental health is as important as physical health and shared her love for yoga via an Instagram post back in June 2016.
Over the last 5 years playing Abi, I've been so moved by the support, energy, thoughtfulness, and creativity you've shown me. You've taken care of me and now it's my turn to give you a little somethin' back! I'm so excited to partner with the fitness booking app Open Sweat to offer you a free workout class!

Perhaps this is particular to NewFox/Firefox and an incorrect setting of its preferences. I would welcome suggestions for other implementations that do work properly (preferably within Firefox) and/or thoughts on whether follow-up postings to a notice on the IgorExchange forum should even reset the original posting as "updated" in an RSS feed sense in the first place. I would point out that, once I read the forum, it seems also to be marked automatically as having been read when I log in to IgorExchange formally via the standard Web interface.

JEA, formerly Jacksonsonville Electric Authority, ranks among the nation’s largest and most efficient community-owned electric, water and sewer utilities. The sewer service area now represents one of the largest geographic footprints in the nation at approximately 900 square miles. The sewer utility serves 230,000 customers and handles a 78 mgd average daily flow.
The JEA had no reservations about approving the conversion of the traditional pump station to a booster pump station due to a chronic odor and ragging problem.
The extended detention time for the force main’s flow within the 18 mile long line created ideal conditions for the buildup of hydrogen sulfide gas in the sewage flow collected from a large portion of a growing part of the service area. This set the stage for the major odor problem when the flow reached the original pump station’s wetwell, says Bob Phillips, a JEA project engineer.
“JEA was spending $752 a day for chemicals in a futile attempt to control odor at that facility,” Phillips said.
“We were spending an additional $3400 a month for a vac-truck to clean out the blanket of floating rags and grease that accumulated in the original pump station’s wetwell.”
Although upgrading the aging odor control system would have helped to reduce the offensive emissions, the root cause of the odor, the high concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the force main’s flow, would have remained, Phillips said. Therefore, his engineering group pursued the more permanent solution of converting the pump station to a booster pump station.
JEA elected to divert the force main’s flow off the wetwell by building an above-grade booster facility in proximity to the original pumping installation. Designing the new station this way cut the required horsepower in half while still pumping the same flow. The existing 95-HP pumps and odor control equipment were pulled and replaced by 45-HP Flygt N-pumps that provide the hydraulic muscle for the new companion booster facility.
The costs associated with the ragging problem of the former pumps were resolved by the design of the award-winning Flygt N-pump developed by Xylem.
The high-performance units employ a patented impeller that is both more energy and clog efficient and maintains unobstructed flow of stringy and fibrous material from building up and blocking the intake.
The fibrous residuals that reached the facility had become an even greater problem for the earlier pumps when combined with grease reaching the wetwell. Instead, the N-pumps now avoid intake obstruction by allowing both types of debris to simply pass through the intakes. The unique N-pumps handle not only the materials flushed into the collection lines but also achieve impressive energy savings.
Phillips said the conversion has proven successful and foresees the concept as applicable to other JEA installations and even other municipal operations. The investment in this retrofit was clearly justified by the numbers.

Mr Strauss-Kahn, a former French finance minister, rubbished the notion that the credit crisis was largely a US problem. “The crisis is global,” he said. “The so-called decoupling theory is totally misleading.” Developing countries such as China and India would be affected.
The IMF would this week revise down its global economic forecasts to below the current private and official consensus, he said. “The forecasts we are going to release in a few days are not very optimistic. The downside risks we underlined in the last world economic outlook have materialised.”
We’ll have to wait until Wednesday to see the new WEO forecasts, but until then, it might be instructive to see the progression of forecasts from the Economist‘s polls of forecasters. First, the United States:
Figure 1: Mean forecasts of US growth y/y from Economist poll of forecasters.
Notice the big drop in forecasts for 2008 going from October to January. What’s interesting is the continuous decline in forecasts over time. In April’s forecast, the drop is substantial both for 2008 and 2009, suggesting a prolonged slowdown.
The 2008 forecasts for the Euro Area shift downward, but from October to April, only by 0.5 percentage points. This contrasts with the 1 percentage point decline for US forecasts.
Figure 2: Mean forecasts of Euro Area growth y/y from Economist poll of forecasters.
The United Kingdom forecasts exhibit an even smaller decline in 2008 growth rates. However, the 2009 bounceback projected in January has evaporated.
Figure 3: Mean forecasts of UK growth y/y from Economist poll of forecasters.
Finally, Japan’s forecasted growth rates for 2008 have fallen 0.6 percentage points. As in other cases, the slump is now forecasted to be more prolonged than it was in January.
Figure 4: Mean forecasts of Japan growth y/y from Economist poll of forecasters.
One source of comfort — no negative growth forecasted! (Of course, the low values for each forecast of y/y growth are now consistent with two quarters of negative growth.)

North Dakota rancher pleads guilty to misuse of pesticide after 6 bald eagles die
FARGO — A Flasher, N.D., rancher has pleaded guilty to killing bald eagles on his land after improperly using a restricted pesticide, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Dakota said in a statement.
In the spring of 2016, federal agencies found the 58-year-old man, David Meyer, had misused 39,000 pounds of Rozol prairie dog bait, a restricted-use pesticide, on 5,400 acres of his property. Investigators recovered six dead bald eagles from his property, the Meyer Buffalo Ranch on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The eagles had died from poisoning.
Investigators interviewed more than a dozen workers, who said because of the large amount of Rozol that needed to be dispensed, they became sloppy and did not dispense the pesticide as required by the label.
Meyer was charged with unlawful taking of bald eagle, unlawful taking of migratory birds, and unlawful use of restricted use pesticide. He faces a maximum penalty upon conviction of one year in federal prison, a $100,000 fine, one year of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund, the statement said.
Meyer entered his plea Thursday, Jan. 30. He was released on bond and awaits sentencing, scheduled for April 2.

CBC offers the world premiere of Gord Downie’s The Secret Path in a special one-hour, commercial-free broadcast on Sunday, October 23 on CBC and worldwide stream at cbc.ca/secretpath. Immediately following the ET broadcast, The Road to Reconciliation: A Panel Discussion about The Secret Path will be live-streamed worldwide at cbc.ca/secretpath and on facebook.com/cbcarts.
Spanning an album, graphic novel and one-hour CBC television special, Gord Downie’s Secret Path project acknowledges a dark part of Canada’s history – the long-suppressed mistreatment of Indigenous children and families by the residential school system – with the hope of starting Canada on a road to reconciliation. Downie began Secret Path as 10 poems inspired by the story of Chanie Wenjack, a 12-year-old boy who died 50 years ago on October 22, 1966 in flight from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora, Ontario, walking home to the family he was taken from over 400 miles away.
Adapted from the album and graphic novel and divided into 10 chapters, The Secret Path is an animated film that chronicles the heartbreaking story of Chanie’s residential school experience and his subsequent death from hunger and exposure as he attempted to return home. In addition to the animated film, the CBC one-hour television special includes documentary footage of Downie tracing Chanie’s steps with the Wenjack family in Ogoki Post, Ontario.
How can Chanie Wenjack’s story make a difference? Immediately following the broadcast, CBC will live-stream The Road to Reconciliation, a special one-hour panel conversation with CBC’s Jesse Wente, filmmaker Tasha Hubbard, and National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation director Ry Moran, live from CBC’s Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. In an engaging discussion, these Indigenous leaders will reflect on how art can help us face the past and work together to change Canada’s future. The panel can be streamed in Canada and worldwide at cbc.ca/secretpath on Sun. Oct. 23.
Produced by eOne and Antica Productions Ltd. in association with CBC, The Secret Path was created, written, and directed by Gord Downie, composed by Gord Downie with Kevin Drew and Dave Hamelin, and illustrated by author Jeff Lemire. The film is executive produced by Mike Downie, Patrick Downie, Gord Downie and Sarah Polley.
Downie’s poems were fleshed into the 10 songs of the Secret Path album. The music was then brought to graphic novelist Jeff Lemire for his help illustrating Chanie Wenjack’s story, bringing him and the many children like him to life. The 10-song Secret Path album released by Arts & Crafts accompanied by Lemire’s 88-page graphic novel published by Simon & Schuster Canada are now available, in a deluxe vinyl and book edition, and as a book with album download.
Downie will play two special concerts in support of Secret Path at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa tonight and Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto on Friday October 21st.
All proceeds from Secret Path will be donated to The Gord Downie Secret Path Fund for Truth and Reconciliation via The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at The University of Manitoba.
On October 13, Downie launched The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, which focuses on cross-cultural education to support healing and recovery. The Fund will foster new relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples.


last week i took out my pop up head lights to replace them with at set of PIAA fog lights. i got the lamps and housings out and figured i would remove the wiring to keep the engine bay looking clean. i pulled the wires back to the firewall and removed them. today i finally got everything back together and took it for a drive but when i tried to use the turn signals the guage cluster did not light up but made the clicking noise. i got out to see if they were working at all but they did nothing so i took the car back to the shop. i checked the fuses first to see if that could be the problem and it was not so i fooled around with some stuff and checked all the connections under the steering wheel and everything was hooked up. i tried to hit the hazzard switch to see if it did anything but nothing happend. anyone got any ideas on what i messed up?
