BERKELEY – California has accepted a bid to the 2014 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) and will host Utah Valley in a first-round game at 7:30 p.m. (PT) Wednesday at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Calif. The game will be televised on ESPN3.
Tickets for Wednesday's contest go on sale starting Monday (March 17) from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. to donors/season ticket holders, and the general public at 2 p.m. Fans can purchase tickets by clicking here.
“It’s a pretty impressive field,” California head men’s basketball coach Mike Montgomery said. “If you look at the field, this is a tournament filled with teams with a proud basketball tradition. Dick Hunsaker and I have known each other for a long time. That team will be very well prepared and very well organized. We’re going to have to be sure that we come out and play hard.”
The Golden Bears, who are seeded No. 2 in their region of the bracket, enter the NIT with a 19-13 overall record, while the Wolverines are seeded No. 7 with a 20-11 record on the year. The winner of the Cal-Utah Valley game will play the winner of No. 3 seeded Arkansas-No. 6 seeded Indiana State in the second round.
Cal and Utah Valley have played just once previously with the Golden Bears defeating the Wolverines, 85-51, on Dec. 28, 2009 in the Golden Bear Classic at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Calif.
Cal is participating in the NIT for the eighth time and owns a 12-6 record in the event. The Bears are making their first appearance in the NIT since 2011, when they defeated Mississippi in the first round before falling at Colorado in the second round. They won the championship in 1999 and reached the quarterfinals in both 1987 and 2000. Cal's NIT berth in 1986 marked the school's first postseason appearance since the NCAA runner-up squad of 1960. Cal also advanced to the second round in 1989 and 2008.
Cal reached the semifinals in 1999 with a home win over Fresno State (79-71) at the Oakland Arena, a 17-point comeback at DePaul (58-57) and another victory in Oakland over Colorado State (71-62). The Bears met a familiar foe in Oregon in the semis in New York. Although Cal lost both regular-season games to the Ducks, it prevailed, 85-69, behind 22 points from Mike Gill. The Bears then edged Clemson, 61-60, for the title, going ahead when Geno Carlisle hit a free throw to complete a three-point play with 4.7 seconds left. Lampley, who had 16 points vs. Clemson, was named the NIT's MVP.
Including the NCAA Tournament, this marks Cal's 26th postseason appearance. Head coach Mike Montgomery has guided the Bears to four NCAA Tournaments berths and two NIT bids in his first six seasons at Cal. Last season, Cal advance to the third round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to eventual Final Four participant Syracuse.
Senior guard Justin Cobbs leads four Golden Bears in double-figures in the scoring column at 15.8 ppg. The First Team All-Pac-12 selection is one of the nation’s assist leaders, averaging 5.8 apg. Sophomore guard Tyrone Wallace (11.3 ppg.), junior forward David Kravish (11.2 ppg.) and senior center Richard Solomon (11.0 ppg.) round out the Bears’ balanced scoring attack. Solomon led the conference in rebounding at 10.2 rpg. during the regular season and entered the week as one of just three individuals in the six power conferences to average a double-double for the year. Cal tied for third in the Pac-12 with a 10-8 conference record. The Bears dropped a 59-56 decision to Colorado in the conference tournament in Las Vegas this past Thursday.
As the WAC regular season champions, the Utah Valley Wolverines received an automatic bid to the NIT. Utah Valley finished the season 20-11 overall and 13-3 in the WAC, following a loss in the semifinal round of their conference tournament to Idaho.
The 2014 NIT field features 32 teams seeded 1-8 in four different regions. The first three rounds of the NIT are played at host school sites, starting with the opening round March 18-19. Second-round games will be contested March 20-24 and quarterfinals March 25-26. The semifinals and final are set for April 1 and 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y.

I feel it has been long enough for me to say some GENERIC REACTION things to the new ‘Dr. Strange’ movie. Seriously, I don’t ever want to spoil anything. So: I loved the experience. It was a very immersive movie, where my brain just kinda automatically shut off everything else in the world, and I was just taking in the movie. The story was fine – acceptable – and I can see how it was important in setting up some future things, which I always like. And the way it had fun with its ability to use the multiverse was AWESOME. If you’re into MCU movies, this is a good one.
• The Cubs won 6-0 last night, which marked their first win in over a week, their first win by more than three runs in over two weeks, and their first shutout in that same period. If you cut out that 21-0 drubbing of the Pirates, you have to go all the way back to the second game of the season, a 9-0 win over the Brewers, to find a comparable win this year. Michael was right when he said it was the most fun we’ve had watching a Cubs game in literal weeks.
• More on Kyle Hendricks’ alllllllmost shutout later, but I just wanted to point out the ‘ole early-season statistical swings: Hendricks went into last night’s start with a 5.64 ERA (5.52 FIP) over 30.1 innings. He now has a 4.38 ERA (4.70 FIP) over 39.0 innings. That stuff always makes me chuckle, because we mentally reframe an entire “season” based on a few stats, but really, it’s an accumulation of single outings. In other words, how much did Hendricks’ “season” really change last night, even if his stats changed dramatically? (He absolutely did pitch fantastically last night, though, and let’s be clear on that.)
• At some point, the conversation the Cubs were having about Frank Schwindel – sending him to Iowa to try to work out his swing/timing/etc. issues – is going to have to take place about Nick Madrigal. I’m not saying we’re there yet (he’s still under 100 PAs, and the Cubs are clearly trying to get him to work on some things against good pitching), but you’re talking about a still-rather-young guy who has very little big league experience, who had almost no Triple-A experience, and who is coming off a major leg injury/surgery. It just wouldn’t be weird or insulting to think he might need some time at Iowa to work out his timing issues at the plate. In his last 15 games, Madrigal – the guy whose THING is contact and batting average – has far more strikeouts (11) than hits (7). This is untenable. I wonder what happens when Andrelton Simmons is ready to be activated.
• (I know Madrigal had two deep-ish, hard-ish fly outs last night, but neither had better than a .340 xBA, so it’s not like he was absolutely robbed or anything. Set last night aside, and the looming conversation stays the same.)
• If you missed two of the great moments from last night’s game, Jason Heyward made an amazing catch in center, and Nico Hoerner hustled his butt of to steal a run for the Cubs.
— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) May 10, 2022
• Because he was late-arriving to camp and had no minor league options left, the Cubs had to make a quick decision on whether to keep outfielder/DH Harold Ramirez at the end of Spring Training, or instead keep guys like Michael Hermosillo and Clint Frazier (and Rafael Ortega and Jason Heyward). Obviously the Cubs chose the latter. Meanwhile, Ramirez is hitting .316/.375/.368 (132 wRC+) for the Rays. The guy the Cubs got in that trade, 30-year-old infield prospect (yes, prospect – it’s kind of a unique and weird situation), Esteban Quiroz, is hitting just .163/.300/.245 at Iowa through 16 games. None of that is to say this is all set in stone and decided and all that, but so far, that series of decisions has not worked out for the Cubs.
• I’m not THAT vain, but I will admit that I kinda wish my teeth were a little whiter since I drink a crapload of coffee. So I’ve been looking for something like this whitening pen thing that is a Deal of the Day at Amazon (under 18 bucks right now, #ad), and I’m gonna try it out. There’s also a whitening mouthwash (I use mouthwash anyway, so I’m thinking about that one, too). This is definitely making me sound vain now. Hey, if this is as bad as my midlife crisis gets, then I’m doing ok …
• This is a really big deal to players, so congrats to Drew Smyly on a tremendous accomplishment:
Congratulations to Drew Smyly on reaching 10 years of service time. 🙏🏼

Interview: Selorm Adadevoh
To what extent has the Covid-19 pandemic affected Ghana’s telecoms sector?
SELORM ADADEVOH: The Covid-19 pandemic forced telecoms providers to fundamentally change the way we operate to minimise the adverse impact on both our consumers and our employees. Personal protective equipment was provided at customer interaction points, namely physical stores throughout the country, and capacity limits were introduced to facilitate social distancing. Management put additional initiatives in place to educate employees and customers on health measures. The changes that were rapidly implemented at the start of the health crisis have been maintained into 2021.
Network-expansion plans were simultaneously put on hold, as many components are not manufactured domestically and the pandemic led to barriers when it came to importing equipment for upgrading and expanding infrastructure. This raised awareness of the need to grow capacity in the domestic telecoms manufacturing industry to strengthen the country’s ICT sector, rather than depending on foreign suppliers.
Regarding demand for ICT services, there has been a huge shift to students and workers completing their tasks from home. The distribution of demand has changed as a result, and home broadband became a critical element of the pandemic response. This was one of the biggest challenges for the sector, as the country does not have a widespread fibre-optic network. Less than 6% of homes have high-speed internet connections, so most people use their smartphones to access the internet while at home. The strength of mobile network infrastructure was therefore really tested during the early stages of the pandemic, as it supported the economic productivity of many Ghanaians.
What challenges pertain to boosting digitalisation and increasing internet penetration?
ADADEVOH: We have seen an acceleration of digitalisation around the world due to the pandemic. However, this process has been slow for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially in emerging markets such as Ghana. There is now significant opportunity in this area. If you talked to the owners of SMEs about digitalising their business in the past, the concept was not taken too seriously. Today SMEs are competing with larger companies that can digitalise faster, putting pressure on SMEs to adapt more urgently.
At the same time, a renewed emphasis on health care and how health relates to work has come to the fore. It has become more apparent how society can leverage technology to understand and manage health care, especially with internet-of-things (IoT) tools and data services. The country could benefit from regulatory evolution in this space to enable more cost-effective service delivery. Consumer demand plays a role in this as well. If more Ghanaians shift to online work or school, more homes adopt IoT services, and more businesses call for 4G or even 5G connectivity, then the current technology base is inadequate. By 2023-24 we can expect to see initiatives such as spectrum sharing drive improved efficiency and widespread connectivity to meet the needs of all Ghanaians.
How do you expect the unified licensing regime to change the telecoms sector?
ADADEVOH: A unified licensing regime is key for telecoms enterprises to maximise return on assets. We are witnessing a large-scale migration of customers from 2G to 3G, and a similar migration from 3G to 4G; however, the current licensing regime prevents providers from using 3G spectrum for 4G services to support this shift. Allowing universal access licences makes the sector more efficient, and this is just one operational tactic that policy evolution will enable. We are confident that universal access licences will be approved by the end of 2021, allowing providers to leverage their existing assets more efficiently, while benefitting individual customers and businesses.

As nativism, populism, and authoritarianism rise around the world, and as institutions that protect our liberties are buffeted by attacks, can democracy endure? It is among the essential questions of our time.
It's also the central focus of a daylong event that will bring a diverse lineup of more than 20 leading pundits, policymakers, scholars, and journalists to Baltimore this week for "Reawakening the Spirit of Democracy," co-hosted by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins and the Renew Democracy Initiative. The event will be held Thursday at the George Peabody Library in Baltimore.
Speakers and panelists include Renew Democracy Initiative chairman Garry Kasparov, Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum, Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, former Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski, former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, and PBS NewsHour correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, among many others.
Johns Hopkins University president Ronald J. Daniels will provide opening remarks.
"This is a critical opportunity not only to probe into what is happening with democracy today, but also to model the kind of wide-ranging discourse we think is important for reinvigorating it," says Elizabeth Smyth, adviser to the president on the SNF Agora Institute. "We're welcoming a variety of perspectives on the topic, with bipartisan, global representation."
The pairing of the SNF Agora Institute and the Renew Democracy Initiative, a D.C. nonprofit founded in 2017, brings together two groups pursuing ways to strengthen the ideals of democracy. Kasparov—also chair of the Human Rights Foundation and former world chess champion—is a member of the Board of Overseers at the SNF Agora Institute.
"American democracy is in crisis," Kasparov says. "This important event brings together dozens of prominent leaders and thinkers to diagnose the crisis, make recommendations for action, and to further RDI's mission of breaking through against the anger of the extremes as well as the apathy of the middle."
The full schedule, including a working agenda of participants, can be found online. Those interested in attending should register in advance. The event also will be available via livestream broadcast on the Johns Hopkins Ustream channel.

Dish shares more data with Sprint’s special committee, Ergen remains “confident”
Posted By Andy Vuong On April 29, 2013 @ 11:54 am In Dish Network,Mobile,Tech+,Technology,Telecommunications | No Comments
Dish Network has provided additional information about its proposed buyout of Sprint Nextel to the company’s special committee of board members. The committee, which is reviewing the offer on Sprint’s behalf, said last week that it had requested additional details about the proposal from Dish.
Douglas County-based Dish also confirmed Monday that it has received a non-disclosure agreement from Sprint. Japan’s SoftBank, which has an agreement to buy 70 percent of Sprint for $20 billion, amended the deal to allow the wireless carrier to enter into the non-disclosure agreement  with Dish for “the purpose of clarifying and obtaining further information.”
Dish said Monday that it has “detailed to Sprint’s special committee its proposal regarding financial terms, material legal terms, regulatory aspects, and financing commitments, as being more favorable from a financial point of view.”
Dish chairman Charlie Ergen said the company has received a “highly confident letter” from financial advisor Barclays that indicates the company can raise additional capital to close the $25.5 billion merger. Dish has said it will need to raise about $9 billion to finance the deal.
“We remain confident that the Sprint board will share our view that this proposal is superior by offering Sprint shareholders greater value with a higher price and more cash, while also creating the opportunity to participate meaningfully in a combined, and competitively unique, DISH/Sprint,” Ergen said in a statement Monday.
Dish, the nation’s No. 2 satellite-TV company, launched the unsolicited bid  for Sprint two weeks ago.
Also Monday, federal regulators reviewing the SoftBank-Sprint deal made public a filing that discloses an email from Intel CEO Paul Otellini in which he throws support behind the SoftBank merger over the Dish buyout.
Otellini sent the following email last Wednesday to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski:
I am travelling in Asia this week. I met with Son-san of Softbank yesterday. I simply wanted to add my name to the list of companies hoping that Softbank will be able to acquire Sprint, rather than Dish. Sonsan’s vision to build a high speed competitive third national network is very compelling. We need this competition in the wireless space as the ATT/Verizon model is not giving that to consumers at this time. I just wanted you to know where I and Intel stand on this important matter.
Ergen spoke by phone with Genachowski  on the same day Otellini sent the email, according to separate FCC filing.
During the call, Ergen reiterated that Dish’s “proposal is a real and substantial offer to which the Sprint board of directors must give all due consideration, as it is better for American consumers, better for Sprint shareholders, and better for U.S. national security than the SoftBank proposal.”

Business - Regent Inns' FD revelation
Pub group Regent Inns has revealed its former finance director, Clive Watson, exercised a package of share options two weeks before a profits warning sent its shares crashing in June.
In its annual report, Regent indicated the group remuneration committee allowed Watson to exercise early 40,000 share options under a 1995 executive scheme, which normally would not have been possible until 25 September 1999.
The group said it had taken into account Watson’s service and his willingness to stay on until a new FD could be found. The deal included his salary, a bonus and options.
On 6 June, Watson realised #55,000 when the share price was 380p. The annual report also shows he received a #40,000 performance-related bonus in the year to 4 July.
Regent shares have continued to fall since the warning. The group was listed this week at 124.5p. David Franks, MD, said at the time of the preliminary results statement that measures had been taken to tackle the issues and to restore investor confidence.
Two weeks ago, Paul Huberman, Regent’s new FD, said the company had spent more than #700,000 to rectify accounting problems at its head office (17 September 1998, page 2).

The recovered weapons included 107 assault rifles and some ammunition and military equipment…reports Asian Lite News
Security forces in Afghanistan have discovered a weapons cache in Khaniqa district of Jawzjan province, senior police officer Mullah Mohammad Dindost said on Wednesday.
The weapons cache containing a variety of arms and ammunition including 44 pieces of mortar mines was found in Agam Turkmania village of Khaniqa district a couple of days ago, Dindost said, adding that locals’ support is important to collect weapons as part of efforts to stabilize security, Xinhua news agency reported.
By launching cleanup operations in parts of the country, the Taliban-run administration has been trying to collect arms and ammunition from irresponsible armed groups and individuals, and thousands of pieces of arms including assault rifles have been seized over the past couple of months, officials said.
Earlier, a total of 107 weapons were recovered in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Paktika as Afghan security personnel continue to recover weapons from outside the security organs, the Taliban-led caretaker government said on Tuesday.
Security forces recovered a large number of weapons and ammunition in Paktika province on Sunday, the government said in a statement, Xinhua news agency reported.
The recovered weapons included 107 assault rifles and some ammunition and military equipment, according to the statement.
It is also reported that in clean-up operations and house-to-house searches, Afghan security forces recovered a large number of weapons from individuals in the eastern Nangarhar province a couple of weeks ago.
Blast in Kabul
One civilian sustained injury as a blast struck a vehicle in Police District 2 of Afghanistan’s Kabul on Wednesday, police spokesman Khalid Zadran said.

In the meantime, an eyewitness on condition of anonymity claimed that two security personnel of the administration were injured in the blast.
This is the second security incident in the shape of blast in Kabul over the past two days.
Over two dozen civilians, mostly school children were also killed and injured in three blasts that rocked the Dasht-e-Barchi area on the western edge of Kabul city on Tuesday.

It can happen that a too high concentration of a volatile product is measured in a container. In that case the gas or vapor has to be taken out before the container can be declared fit for safe entering and discharge. This process can be done in two ways:
Natural ventilation: On a safe location the doors are opened during a certain time. The natural ventilation takes the excess of gases away. This is the technique in case of presence of the less dangerous vapors.
Forced ventilation: In a designed and recognized "defumigation zone" fans are connected by means of hoses to the container, trough a special door. The container is mechanically flushed during a certain time. This process will be applied in case of the presence of more toxic gases. In the case fumigation gases are present the exhausted air will be sent trough a filter system, where the fumigants are separated from the exhaust air.
Of course, after each ventilation operation a quality check must be performed. For this, fans are disconnected and/or container doors closed, for at least two hours. Then a new gas measurement is carried out. In most cases the container can then be released for safe discharge.

In a public comment to the CDC, molecular biologist and toxicologist Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D., called to immediately halt Covid vaccine production and distribution. Citing fertility, blood-clotting concerns (coagulopathy), and immune escape, Dr. Lindsay explained to the committee the scientific evidence showing that the coronavirus vaccines are not safe.
On April 23, 2021, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices held a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. The focus of this ACIP meeting was blood clotting disorders following Covid vaccines. Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay spoke to the CDC during the time set aside for public comment.
The censorship on social media in particular and the internet in general is relentless. Here is a slightly edited, annotated censorship-proof transcript of Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay’s 3-minute comment.
Molecular Biologist and Toxicologist Calls to Halt Covid Vaccine
Hi, my name is Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay. I hold a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of Texas, and have over 30 years of scientific experience, primarily in toxicology and mechanistic biology.
In the mid-1990s, I aided the development of a temporary human contraceptive vaccine which ended up causing unintended autoimmune ovarian destruction and sterility in animal test models. Despite efforts against this and sequence analyses that did not predict this.
I strongly feel that all the gene therapy vaccines must be halted immediately due to safety concerns on several fronts.

The Canadian government is determined to remedy what it (and many Canadians) regard as an unjustified gap between US and Canadian prices for the same goods. In particular, the government has focussed on what it perceives to be unjustified “country pricing” or “cross-border price discrimination”, ie, businesses charging more for goods sold in Canada than in the US beyond what might be justified by the allegedly higher costs of doing business in Canada.
The government’s interest in this issue followed a report by the Canadian Senate in February 2013 which tentatively concluded that the segmentation of the Canadian and US markets “reduces competition and allows some manufacturers – even some Canadian ones – to practice country pricing between the Canadian and American markets, which may contribute to the price discrepancies between the two countries”.
The government’s first proposal to deal with the cross-border pricing issue was made public in February 2014. Although lacking in detail, the government revealed its intention to amend Canada’s Competition Act to prohibit companies with “market power” from charging higher prices in Canada than in the US where those higher prices were not reflective of “legitimate” higher costs of operating in Canada.
Interestingly, although the Canadian Senate had offered several suggestions for remedying the Canada/US price gap in its 2013 report, it had not included competition law enforcement as a possible solution to consider. Indeed, representatives of the Bureau who testified before the Senate had essentially stated that the solution for any such problem lay elsewhere, underscoring in their remarks that the Bureau is “not a price regulator” and that “high prices in themselves do not mean that a particular market is uncompetitive”.
The government’s proposal to use the Competition Act to tackle cross-border price discrimination met with considerable protest. Opponents argued that enforcing the proposed prohibition would be impractical and costly given that any analysis of cross-border price differences would require a complex comparison of prices and operating costs over a sustained period of time. Echoing the Bureau’s comments before the Canadian Senate, opponents also argued that the government’s proposal would require the Bureau to assume a regulatory role for which it is not qualified. Finally, opponents claimed that other measures, such as tariff reductions and elimination of government supply management of a number of staple agricultural products, would likely be far more effective in reducing any Canada-U.S. price gap.
Notwithstanding these criticisms, the Canadian government has now forged ahead with its plans, albeit in a modified form. Thus, on December 9, 2014, the Canadian government released Bill C-49, the Price Transparency Act, to amend the Competition Act so as to authorize the Commissioner of Competition, the head of Canada’s Competition Bureau, to inquire into whether the selling price of a product or class of products is or was higher in Canada than the selling price of that (or a similar) product or class of products in the United States. The Commissioner may inquire into both the extent of the difference between the selling prices and the reasons for the difference, and issue a publicly accessible report of his conclusions within one year of receiving such information.
In other words, the proposed legislation does not actually prohibit unjustified cross-border price discrimination or prescribe sanctions for such conduct; it only authorizes the Competition Bureau to, in the words of Canada’s Minister of Industry, “investigate price discrimination and expose it”. In that regard, Bill C-49 would also give the Commissioner expanded authority to compel the production of information from entities operating outside of Canada.
Although it can be presumed that the government’s intention was to address at least some of the criticisms levelled against its February 2014 proposal, as is so often the case, the current proposal simply raises new questions and concerns of its own. As an example:
(i) How will the Commissioner decide which companies and products to investigate, particularly as there is no market power requirement?
(ii) Without any legislative standards, how will the Commissioner decide if differences between a company’s Canadian and US prices are discriminatory or not?
(iii) What rights will parties subject to investigation have to dispute or respond to the Commissioner’s negative findings before a report is issued?
(iv) In the absence of penalties or other enforcement measures, is the prospect of a potentially negative report being issued by the Commissioner enough to persuade companies to change their Canada/US pricing conduct?
More fundamentally, Bill C-49 represents a departure from the traditional approach of Canadian competition policy, which is to limit enforcement action to cases where a party has engaged in conduct that contravenes specific prohibitions in the Competition Act. For that reason, the Competition Bureau does not have broad powers to simply inquire into markets or to regulate conduct outside of targeted enforcement action. In attempting to deal with the issue of cross-border price discrimination, however, the government seems to have decided that a departure from these traditional norms is justified.

This is all very good, but any action that does come about is solely focused on Products. What about the gouging that is going on in the services sector? As an example look at professional indemnity insurance (otherwise known as E&O). The U.S. is far more litigious than Canada, yet E&O Insurgence profession to profession is nearly double here in Canada than it is in the U.S. When the insurance companies in Canada are approached to explain why the huge difference they cite “complaints” increases, but refuse to offer accurate loss-run ratios. One could expect some increase in premiums in this sector due to our heavy regulation of the finance sector, especially in Ontario, but double? The government however is unlikely to act on this,as Canada is essential a service provider, having lost most of it’s manufacturing capability. Limiting the profit of the Service sector would no doubt create havoc for balancing the books, and likely end up in Politicians losing their jobs as the service sector bails on support of the political parties. So here we are, stuck North of the border with nothing but platitudes and rhetoric from those we elect, no doubt more promises of action and delivery of nothing.

Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56a
Related Artists/CompaniesJohannes Brahms
National Symphony Orchestra: James Conlon, conductor / Gil Shaham, violin, plays Korngold - Apr. 10 - 12, 2014
A "brilliant violinist [with] flawless precision and gleeful command" (The New York Times), Gil Shaham plays Korngold's Violin Concerto on a program led by renowned conductor James Conlon that also includes masterpieces by Brahms and Zemlinsky.
About the Work
For his conducting positions with various choral societies during the 1860s, Brahms produced a large number of vocal works, and some of the most important (German Requiem, Alto Rhapsody, Schicksalslied) were fitted with orchestral accompaniments that show Brahms' growing ability to handle large instrumental forces. They bolstered his confidence as an orchestrator, but he was still reluctant to bring the First Symphony to conclusion. Another work, a smaller piece, was needed as a final confirmation that he was ready to stand on Beethoven's plateau as a symphonist. He wrote that work — the Variations on a Theme of Haydn — and it turned out to be one of the greatest independent orchestral compositions of the 19th century.
The seed for the Haydn Variations was sown in November 1870 when Karl Ferdinand Pohl, librarian for Vienna's Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, ran across some unpublished manuscripts in his research for a biography of Haydn. Pohl assumed that these works, a set of six Feldpartiten (open-air suites for wind instruments), were by Haydn, and, knowing of Brahms' interest in old music, he invited the composer to have a look at the scores. Brahms was especially interested in a movement of the Partita in B-flat that took as its theme a melody labeled "Choral St. Antoni." The idea for a set of variations based on this sturdy tune apparently sprang to his mind immediately, and he copied the theme into his notes before he left Pohl's study. He did not begin actual composition of the work until more than two years later, however, but when he did, he produced it in two separate versions — the present one for orchestra and another, identical musically, for two pianos. The two were apparently written simultaneously, and he pointed out that one was not a transcription of the other, but that they were to be thought of as two independent works. The piano version was finished by August 1873, when he played it with Clara Schumann, and published in November. The premiere of the orchestral incarnation in November received enthusiastic acclaim from critics and audiences alike, and it marked the beginning of Brahms' international reputation as an orchestral composer. During the next fifteen years, he produced all the symphonic works that continue to assure his name among the musical giants.
Though Brahms did not know it, the theme he copied out of Pohl's manuscript was probably not by Haydn at all. Considerable musicological spelunking has been done to unearth the true source of the tune, but there is still no definitive explanation of its origin. H.C. Robbins Landon, who has literally spent a lifetime in Haydn research, wrote that the whole series of works in the Partita manuscript "is spurious and ... not one note was by Haydn. One of his students, perhaps Pleyel, was probably the real author." It has been suggested that the melody was an old Austrian pilgrims' song, though conclusive evidence has never been brought forth to support this theory. We may never know for sure.
The Haydn Variations consists of a theme followed by eight variations and a finale. The scoring of the theme for wind choir preserves the reedy timbre of the original Partita, which called for two oboes, three bassoons, two horns and serpent. (This last is an obsolete bass wind instrument so called because of its S-curve shape. A marvelous example exists in the collections of Yale University that has an elaborately painted snake's head complete with a red, flapping, forked metal tongue that wags as the instrument is played. The hollow, breathy sound of this specimen makes it abundantly clear why the serpent fell into disuse.) To best appreciate the Haydn Variations, it is important to recognize the structure of its opening theme, with its irregular five-measure phrases and repeated sections. The eminent British musicologist Sir Donald Tovey made this point incisively: "In music, as in all art that moves in time, the listener should fix his attention on some element that pervades the whole, not upon some guess as to the course of events. In a set of classical variations the all-pervading element is the shape of the whole theme." The eight variations that follow preserve the theme's structure, though they vary greatly in mood: thoughtful, gentle, martial, even frankly sensual, this last being Brahms' rarest musical emotion.
The finale is constructed as a passacaglia on a recurring five-measure ostinato derived from the bass supporting the theme. This fragment, repeated many times in the low strings before it migrates into the higher instruments, generates both an irresistible rhythmic motion and a spacious solidity as the finale progresses. It leads inexorably to the spine-tingling moment when (after a minor-mode episode) the original theme bursts forth triumphantly in the strings as the woodwinds strew it with ribbons of scales.
In writing of this magnificent score in his survey of Brahms' orchestral music, John Horton paid its composer a compliment in which he would have taken the greatest pride: "The variations and finale incorporate almost every conceivable device of contrapuntal ingenuity, together with rhythms recalling the 'proportions' of 16th-century keyboard composers. Yet no work of its kind has ever sounded less pedantic, and one can only marvel how Brahms emulates and even surpasses Bach."

A torn ACL can cause pain, swelling, and instability in the knee joint. A patient with an ACL injury may struggle with walking, jogging, or playing the sports they enjoy. While some patients with minor ACL injuries can find relief through physical therapy, physicians are increasingly recommending reconstruction surgery to treat major ACL tears. Learn more about the long-term effects of ACL tear without surgery in this post from Richmond University Medical Center in Staten Island, NY.
What Is a Torn ACL?
ACL stands for anterior cruciate ligament. It is a band of tissue in the knee that helps connect the shin bone and the thigh bone. Patients who play higher-impact sports such as football, basketball, or downhill skiing are at risk of an ACL tear or sprain. Typically, ACL injuries happen when an athlete lands from a jump, quickly changes direction, or is tackled. This type of sudden impact puts intense strain on the ligaments in their knees.
Symptoms of an ACL injury can include:
- A popping sensation in the knee
- Pain, swelling, and tenderness around the knee joint
- Loss of range of motion in the knee
- Discomfort when walking or putting weight on the knee
Along with a physical examination, ACL injuries can be diagnosed with imaging tests, such as an X-ray or MRI, that help rule out the possibility of fractures or other types of knee injuries.
Treatment Options for Torn ACL
Immediately after an ACL injury occurs, a patient should take steps to reduce swelling and inflammation. Keep the acronym “RICE” in mind, which stands for:
The treatment options for an ACL tear include physical therapy and surgery.
Physical therapy can help reduce pain and swelling, strengthen the muscles around the knee, and restore the patient’s range of motion. The patient also may need to wear a brace that stabilizes their knee. More severe ACL tears require crutches so the patient can avoid putting weight on their knee entirely.
After completing a series of appointments with a physical therapist, the patient likely will need to continue performing the stretches and exercises they have learned at home. Physical therapy can be an effective method for patients who are less active or enjoy low-impact exercise.
ACL reconstruction is a minimally invasive surgical treatment that requires only a couple of small incisions. Typically, an orthopedic surgeon will graft a tendon from another part of the patient’s body, such as the hamstring, to repair the ACL. A physician will administer anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable during surgery, and many patients can return home the same day. The patient usually will complete a course of physical therapy after their surgery.
If a patient tears their ACL but opts not to get surgery immediately, they may risk further injuries. A recent study from Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City found that delaying surgery in younger patients was associated with an increased risk of tearing the meniscus, a pad of cartilage in the knee that absorbs shock. For each week surgery was delayed, the study found a 2% increased risk of a medial meniscal tear.
People who experience an ACL injury have a higher risk of developing osteoarthritis in the knee. Surgery can help stabilize the knee, restore function in the joint, and help prevent long-term problems related to the injury.
Of course, each patient is different. What works for one patient may not be the best treatment method for another. A patient who has an ACL injury should talk with their physician about their treatment options and their goals for recovery.

Botanical Garden of Balata
Gardens in Fort de France, Martinique
Could it be the Garden of Eden? Without a doubt, the Balata Garden is the image of an earthly paradise. Bamboos crackling in the wind, dancing hummingbirds, shimmering tropical flowers, a refreshing pond, surprising exotic leaves, shady hills and views of the sea... Nothing is missing from this enchanting place of delights, colours and fragrances.
The Balata garden is a huge park of exotic plants and tropical forest. It is located 10 km north of Fort-de-France. The visit is a must during a trip to Martinique, so much the beauty and serenity of the place amaze.
History of the garden of Balata: the passion of a horticulturist
The genesis of the park lies in the will and passion of one man: Jean-Philippe Thoze. Years ago, he decided to follow in the footsteps of his childhood and found his grandparents' large family home. The land was fallow, abandoned to the jungle. A talented horticulturist, he worked from 1982 to create a tropical garden around his typically Creole family home. Passionate about botany, he travels the world to bring plants from distant countries to this garden.
All the know-how of the landscape gardener is felt here, in this bucolic Elysium, which he decided to open to the public in 1986. Since then, it has been an undeniable success. The walk through this true botanical heritage enchants visitors.
A visit to the garden: a plant treasure to discover
The public is welcomed in a house with typical Creole architecture. Inside, you will discover a careful decoration and traditional furniture of the Antilles.
Once outside, the walk takes place among the flowers and trees: hibiscus, exotic water lilies, royal palms, wild orchids, balisiers... Martinique, baptized "the island of flowers", has never been so well named. More than 3000 species of tropical plants flourish here, to the delight of nature lovers. The diversity of plants seems infinite.
The slightly undulating relief makes us discover, at each hill, a new point of view on distant flowers. Numerous paths criss-cross the park, often in the shade of trees in an exotic nature. Information panels scattered throughout the park allow you to learn more about the species of trees and plants. The texts are educational and will not fail to surprise you!
In the Balata garden, all paths lead to the pond. And what a pond! It seems to be the highlight of the visit. Located below the property, the pond is surrounded by magnificent trees. It is studded with lotuses and large goldfish that will delight the children.
The walk lasts about an hour and a half. In addition to the paths, raised balconies have been built to offer an exceptional view of the sea. Recently, the park has been enriched with a tree walk. You can walk on bridges suspended from the tops of the rainforest, and in complete safety!
At a height of 16 meters, you will see the peaks of Carbet or the beautiful beaches of Martinique. This sensational entertainment does not require any particular agility and is accessible from 8 years old.
You come with children under 8 years old? The owners of the park have also thought of them. A playground is available for them with slides, small wooden bridges and huts to play in peace.
Unavoidable during a trip to Martinique, the Garden of Balata gives to discover what is most beautiful on the island: a luxuriant nature of astonishing colors and exalting scents.

We all want to maintain healthy habits and stick to a physical fitness routine. However, making plans to exercise regularly and actually following through with those plans can be two very different things.
For many of us, we fail to follow through with our goals to exercise for the simple fact that we’re tired or we become tired easily when we attempt to meet our fitness goals. If you find yourself consistently failing to follow through with your plans to exercise due to fatigue, then consider these tips on how you can feel less tired when you work out.
Change When You Exercise
Many of us experience fatigue when working out when we try to work out after a long day at the office. There are plenty of people who are capable of going straight from work to the gym, but don’t beat yourself up if you’re not one of these people. Instead, set your alarm for earlier and hit the gym before work. Not only will you get your exercise over with before your day has even truly begun, but you’ll experience a boost in your energy levels and ability to focus throughout the work day. Change up what you exercise. You want to make sure you strengthen your core, but you also want to pay attention to endurance, training, and technique. Change what you prioritize to give some muscles time to recover on the off days.
Get the Right Fuel
If you’re trying to boost your energy to exercise with caffeine or cheap energy bars, you’re not doing yourself any favors. Swap out snacks like these with a hemp protein powder, which will give you energy without a crash. You want to feed the muscles that just got worked out so they can recover stronger. The best hemp protein powder will give you a boost of energy that’s consistent throughout the day, instead of a quick flash of energy that’s followed by a rapid crash.
Lessen the Intensity of Your Workouts
If you constantly feel exhausted during a workout, you might be working out too intensely too often. The occasional spin class or HIIT session is great, but these aren’t meant to be daily activities as they’re simply too intense and draining. Mix up your schedule and add some days where you do light yoga or weight lifting. Intense cardio can be great, but if you do it every single day, you’re eventually going to hit a wall and experience a massive reduction in your overall energy levels. Make sure you cool down properly post workouts.
Remember, none of us are superheroes with endless energy reserves and it’s normal to occasionally feel inexplicably exhausted. However, if you follow these tips, you can fit a workout into your day whether you’re feeling energized or not.

I get the below error when I use the gradle publish task,

Invalid publication ‘mavenJava’: groupId cannot be empty
To resolve this I need to specify the group id in the project though it had already been specified in settigns.gradle for all subprojects. Also - only certain projects report this error . Someprojects are able to get the group defined in the parent settings.gradle
It works fine if i use the old upload task. I am using gradle 1.10
Few observation :
The issue actually happens when i add apply plugin:‘java’ to init.gradle ( This is needed for the publishing task ) . If I remove the apply plugin:‘java’ and use the normal upload task - it works fine.
Let me know if somebody had faced this issue and found a solution.

- Serum asialoglycoproteins (desialylated glycoproteins) concentration was reported to be elevated in patients with hepatic disease as compared with that of normal subjects. In this study, we measured serum asialo-α1 acid glycoprotein (AsAGP) level by a solid-phase sandwich assay in which monoclonal antibody (mAb) to α1-acid glycoprotein and galactose-binding lectin, ricinus communis (RCA), have been employed as capture protein and probe protein, respectively. The mAb-RCA sandwich assay was sensitive (0.02 μg/ml) and specific for AsAGP. We have determined AsAGP concentration of 869 serum specimens and analyzed the results using 1.38 and 2.24 μg/ml (AsAGP) as cut-off values, respectively. AsAGP level was 0.80 ± 0.29 μg/ml (mean ± S.D.) with 97 normal serum specimens and elevated primarily in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Using 1.38 μg/ml as a cutoff, 4/97 normal subjects, 11/39 acute hepatitis and 26/159 non-hepatic disease exhibited a slight elevation, whereas, AsAGP level was significantly elevated in 182/230 LC and 63/72 HCC. Meanwhile, a cutoff of 2.24 μg/ml allowed significant differentiation of LC or HCC from chronic hepatitis. Serum AsAGP level appeared to increase progressively with increasing severity of liver disease in cirrhotic patients. Thus, serum AsAGP concentration, as measured by the new mAb-RCA sandwich assay, may be a useful differential marker as a diagnostic aid for LC or HCC.

Obama has not been one to tell the truth. In fact, he is known for lying to Americans and passing bills overnight as we are peacefully sleeping. The man is a snake, so it came as a huge surprise when he came out and admitted the he was the one who willfully made the decision to…WOW.
VIA| In his last interview, with ’60 Minutes’, President Barack Obama admitted that it had been his decision to abstain from voting on the anti-Israel United Nations resolution.
President Barack Obama told “60 Minutes” that he made the call for the U.S. to abstain from a vote on a U.N. Security councilresolution condemning Israeli settlements, allowing the resolution to pass, and that doing so didn’t fray relations between the two countries.
The move caused a major fallout between the United States and Israel, a notion Obama demurred while speaking to Steve Kroft in an interview that aired Sunday.
“I don’t think it caused a major rupture in relations between the United States and Israel. If you’re saying that [Israeli] Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu got fired up, he’s been fired up repeatedly during the course of my presidency, around the Iran deal and around our consistent objection to settlements. So that part of it wasn’t new,” Obama said in his final interview as president.
