The following post was originally posted at NationalInterest.org by under the title “Washington Can’t Fix Broken Policing.” It addresses the idea that having a the Department of Justice (DoJ) or some other federal agency such as the FBI investigate abuses by local police or court official will lead to a fair or meaningful resolution.
Despite the prevalence of calls for the Federal Government to intervene in high profile cases, the truth is that what really happens when the Feds step in is it delays and distracts from the original issues and almost always leads to (intentionally) ineffective and superficial reform proposals, most of which are often not even adopted.
Many times after the “investigation” by federal officials has afforded time for tempers to cool and the spotlight has been removed from those on the local level, they end vindicating the abusers anyway or proposing a slew of hollow changes. When the “cavalry” arrives, they’re usually shooting blanks.
Washington Can’t Fix Broken Policing
Federal intervention allows local officials to evade responsibility.
It has been one year since Freddie Gray died while in the custody of the Baltimore Police Department. Gray’s death sparked peaceful protests and then calamitous riots that brought international attention and prompted the deployment of National Guard units. While local prosecutors indicted the officers involved in Gray’s arrest, the federal government promised to investigate the entire police department for a “pattern or practice” of constitutional violations. The impending outcome of that inquiry seems foreordained. The real question is whether federal monitoring can truly fix a broken police department. The conventional wisdom is that it can, but experience tells us that it can be counterproductive.
Since the Ferguson riot in 2014, police departments across the country have been under unprecedented scrutiny. When a pattern of wrongdoing or dysfunction is exposed, we hear a familiar refrain: this department is so bad that it is incapable of correcting itself, so federal intervention is necessary. After some initial resistance, the city of Ferguson has now agreed to a federal monitor. Last week, Newark also agreed to a federal monitor, to oversee its troubled police force. The Justice Department has also investigated and instituted reforms in many of the United States’ big-city police departments—Los Angeles, New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, to name a few.
Clearly, police misconduct is more widespread than many want to admit. In Chicago, the shooting death of Laquan McDonald, caught on camera, has roiled minority neighborhoods because they see it as only the most recent episode of police wrongdoing there. It is safe to say that other cities may be one incident away from similar unrest.
Mayors and city councils don’t want police misconduct to occur, but in too many cities they let the problem fester. To the extent that they’re even paying attention, the typical political calculation seems to be this: it’s better to have the support of the police department and police union come election time, so don’t take steps that they will oppose.
There is, however, a cost to that political calculation: minority resentment toward city government—especially the police. After all, the victims of illegal detention, illegal searches and excessive force have friends, neighbors and relatives. And when bad cops are not dealt with, it is not unfair to conclude that the department itself is indifferent to injustice. This explains the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.
When a shocking incident of police misconduct comes along, the fecklessness of local governance is exposed in the glare of the media spotlight. Suddenly, reporters are asking pointed questions. Exactly how many people have been shot by the police department? Why was video evidence withheld from the public? What accountability systems are in place to track and remove problem officers?
The optimal moment for police reform comes in the immediate aftermath of a police scandal. The public is aroused, and if the problems run deep into the department itself, voters want those problems corrected. Local politicians find themselves on the spot. They can’t afford to appear uninterested, but they’d rather not fight the police department either. Instead of rolling up their sleeves to make some politically difficult decisions, they posture as reformers by joining the chorus calling for a federal civil rights investigation.
When the feds do intervene, everyone seems to be pleased. The heat is off the local officials to address police misconduct. They say they’ll have to await the outcome of the federal investigation before taking any action. Federal officials are pleased because they are seen as the cavalry coming to the rescue. Civil rights activists are satisfied because they think a federal lawsuit will bring about needed reforms. The police department and police union benefit as well. The intense media scrutiny will now fade as the months roll past.
Unfortunately, federal intervention has a counterproductive “enabling” effect: it allows local officials to evade their responsibility to fix broken police organizations. When the local politicos make a plea for federal intervention, it deflects attention away from their oversight failure and actually squanders the prospect for sweeping changes at a pivotal moment.
There is a borderline reverence for federal intervention among academics and journalists, which has blinded them to political dynamics that should strike us as odd. On the surface, it appears as if the feds are imposing wide-ranging reforms on local officialdom. In truth, however, the local officials chose that outcome once the feds were invited in. Here’s the quandary: the local politicos had the capability to enact reforms all along, so why didn’t they embrace such measures to head off a federal lawsuit? Experience has shown, time and again, that local officials would rather cope with federal monitors than fight powerful police unions.
Federal monitors have not succeeded where local officials are intransigent about reform. Arizona’s Joe Arpaio, sheriff of Maricopa County, is an example. Arpaio may lose a case in court, but he remains defiant and wins reelection. There have been improvements in the cities with reform-minded mayors and police chiefs—but in those cases, federal monitors were never really necessary. The monitors merely provided the local officials with additional political leverage against the police lobby. Local political fights, however, should not be considered an appropriate basis for federal lawsuits and federal takeovers of local police operations.
Police misconduct is a serious problem. If the solution was simple, it would have already been adopted. The hard truth is that a good police department requires the sustained commitment of locally elected officials to that goal. If that commitment is absent, federal intervention will only obscure that reality, and make it more difficult for voters to hold the local politicos accountable for their neglect.

I always enjoy the New Year's Eve Fireworks in San Francisco. It's a gorgeous display over the waterfront near both the Ferry Building and the SF Bay Bridge.
It's one of the most attended displays every year with hundreds of thousands of people in attendance. The display kicks off at 11:59 pm and lasts for about 15 to 20 minutes.
On a clear night, it's definitely worth the time and effort it takes to get down here to see this amazing display as you ring in the new year.
Those looking for the best seats arrive around 7 pm. However, you can still arrive an hour and a half to two hours in advance and grab a seat.
To pass the time while you wait, bring along a picnic, some games (we love to play Charades), and enjoy your time with friends and family before the fireworks display starts.
You can also hop aboard a fireworks cruise for dinner, dancing, and a little drinking before the display starts. These sell out quickly and you will find more details on this option below.
Disclaimer: I receive a small commission from some of the links on this page.
You can watch the fireworks display anywhere along the eastern side of San Francisco by the waterfront. The fireworks are on a boat that sits in the water between the Ferry Building and the SF Bay Bridge.
Your best bet (if you have the time to get there early) is to grab a seat somewhere along the waterfront to the south of the Ferry Building. There are huge sidewalks here, where you can stake out a spot and wait for the show to begin.
If you find a spot near the Ferry Building, make sure you are on the waterfront side, not in front by the street. You will see some of the fireworks from this area, but your view will be obstructed.
The blue star at the top is the Ferry Building. The blue star at the bottom is the Bay Bridge. The two red stars in between are great spots to check out.
The one at the top offers quite a bit of sidewalk space with a few benches right along the waterfront. If you get there in time to grab some bench space, it will make waiting a little more comfortable.
The bottom red star is Rincon Park. This is where you can grab a seat on the grass with your blanket and see unobstructed views of the show.
If budget is not an issue, I highly recommend getting tickets for a fireworks cruise. This allows you to hang out and enjoy a night of fun while you wait for the display to start.
Many offer dinner and drinks as well as live entertainment. They also have the BEST views of the show once it starts.
There are also several restaurants nearby with a view of the show. These places fill up quickly and often offer a prix fix menu for the evening, so you can eat, have a few drinks, and hang out at your table until the show starts.
Here are a few places to check out.
Book your tables early as these places fill up quickly. You can book them either through OpenTable.com or directly through the restaurant.
Here are a few additional events happening on the afternoon and early evening. More will be added as New Year's Eve approaches.
You will find a variety of tours and cruises running all day long on New Year's Eve Day. It's a fun way to enjoy the day as you wait for the fireworks to begin. Here are a few of my top pics.
If you are coming from within SF, you can take BART or the Muni Light Rail trains to the Embarcadero Station. You can also take the F-Street Car line to the Ferry Building (it's a bus service all day instead of the trains) or the California Cable Car to the end of the line near the Hyatt Regency.
These buses drop off within a block of the viewing area: 1, 2, 6, 9, 14, and 38.
SF Muni often runs late on New Year's Eve to accommodate everyone trying to get around the city safely. They also add a few additional routes to their late night schedule to make it even easier.
Each year they also offer free transit from 8 pm to 5 am.
If you are coming from the east and south bay, BART is your best option. Take it to either the Embarcadero or Montgomery Street Stations. Both get you within a few blocks of the action.
BART often runs late on NYE, so you have plenty of time to catch the train home after the fireworks.
Caltrain also offers additional trains home after the fireworks display.
I'm sure you won't be surprised when I say that traffic is completely crazy this night. I highly, highly recommend that you take public transit. However, if you do decide to drive, here are a few parking options near the Ferry Building.
You will find several places within walking distance of the New Year's Eve Fireworks in San Francisco. Given the number of people that attend, I highly recommend finding a hotel nearby to ease the burden of getting home after the show.
There are two great places that are within a block or two of the New Year's Eve Fireworks in San Francisco.
There are dozens of other options that are a quick walk or bus ride away. The weather is usually quite mild on New Year's Eve, so it isn't too hard to walk back to your hotel as long as you have on comfy shoes and aren't carrying too much stuff.
As I mentioned above the buses also run late this day, but they are usually crowded. However, it's a great alternative if you prefer not to walk.
The first option is Union Square. This is where you will find the largest concentration of hotels from two stars budget friendly options to five star beauties. Click here for my recommendations.
You can also stay in Fisherman's Wharf. It's a longer walk, but still beautiful if you love walking and are not in a hurry. Click here to find my recommendations for Fisherman's Wharf.

I was looking at the legendary weapon effects wikia page and came to the two shot entry. It says that it "fires an additional projectile." I remembered that I recently found a two shot combat shotgun. Does its prefix mean that it fires one more pellet or twice the pellets when compared to a normal combat shotgun?
Well, let's put the speculations aside and test it experimentally!
If we compare two identical stock double-barrel shotgun (With a long barrel) in our inventory, we can see that the predicted damage for the shotgun with Two-Shot is already twice the damage of the standard shotgun:
If we test it point-blank on a gentle Deathclaw, we can observe the real damage difference between the two shots, which is just over 2x:
The slight difference can be explained by the pellets spread. I tried to reduce it to the maximum by using the Long Barrel mod and having my character placed at the exact same spot, doing a Body shot in VATS
So, in conclusion,

Eisenhower cautioned us against the military one; if only Orson Welles had warned us about the vastly more insidious assemblage, the Entertainment-Industrial Complex. Reality has become much less real (and important) in contemporary American society. America is a country that came of age with Industrialization and was accompanied by the creation of a mass media public sphere. More often than is desirable, people’s favorite binge show is more important to them than what goes on in the real world.
How does this retreat into a fantasy world evidence itself in our real world politics today? Let's talk about how fantasy has bled into reality and try to understand what it means for the future of our country.

Natural gas storage inventories decreased by 194 Bcf for the week ending Feb. 9, according to the EIA’s weekly report. The draw was slightly above market expectations. Natural gas prices are up $0.01 from yesterday’s close, with the March contract trading at $2.60 per MMBtu at the time of writing.
Today’s storage withdrawal parallels last year’s draw of 114 Bcf and the 5-year average of 155 Bcf. Working gas storage inventories dropped to 1.884 Tcf, which is 577 Bcf below last year and 433 Bcf below the 5-year average.
See the chart below for projections of the end-of-season storage inventories as of April 1, the end of the withdrawal season.
This Week in Fundamentals
The summary below is based on PointLogic’s flow data and DI analysis for the week ending Feb. 15, 2018.
- Dry gas production is down 0.1 Bcf/d week-on-week, with Texas (−0.1 Bcf/d) and Gulf of Mexico (−0.1 Bcf/d) posting decreases while Southeast (+0.1 Bcf/d) production increased.
- Canadian imports are down 0.3 Bcf/d week-on-week.
- Demand: Demand saw a week-on-week decrease, reversing the previous week’s gains as temperatures moderated.
- Domestic natural gas demand is down 9.5 Bcf/d, with ResCom (−8.9 Bcf/d), and industrial (−0.9 Bcf/d) decreasing. Power demand increased 0.3 Bcf/d, likely because low gas prices allowed gas generation to take market share from coal.
- Mexico exports are down 0.1 Bcf/d, while LNG is flat week-on-week.
Total supply is down 0.5 Bcf/d, and total demand is down 10.4 Bcf/d. A lower withdrawal is expected next week, in the low-100s range. This draw compares with an 89 Bcf withdrawal reported last year and a 5-year average of 160 Bcf.

The presence of two swastikas at a local store has one man upset enough to begin a campaign for their removal.
Storeowner and pharmacist Dipak Rao of Spring Valley Drug says two small, red swastikas above the entrance of his shop at 180 E. Central Ave., Spring Valley have a benign meaning in Hinduism and their presence should not be interpreted offensively by locals. Rao says the symbols, associated in India with good luck for new endeavors, have been above his entrance without incident since his store opened in 1989.
Rocklander Douglas Cantor, however, does not accept this explanation, and says Rao should be sensitive to the historic meaning of the symbol within Western civilization, specifically its association with Nazi Germany and the World War II holocaust that claimed the lives of 12 million persons, including 6 million Jews.
Cantor contacted Spring Valley PD about the swastika but they determined its presence was not a provocation due to the benign interpretation offered by Rao. “I have many Hasidic Jewish customers. They never complain,” said Rao, further stating that as an American he has the right to express his religion.
Cantor also contacted Rockland County Executive Ed Day over Facebook about the symbol and the county executive said he found the symbol offensive, suggesting the community organize to request its removal.
Not all Jewish persons agreed with Cantor’s view. Michael Koplen, a former candidate for Ramapo town supervisor and County Court justice, stated “…since the swastika existed as a symbol for thousands of years before the Nazis adopted it, it should [over time] be taken back from that legacy and restored to its rightful status.”

Here’s a round-up of the top brexit-related stories this week.
No trade deal could mean £6 billion in extra exporting costs
Leaving the EU without a trade deal in place could leave exporters with £6 billion a year of extra costs, according to analysis by the Guardian.
The analysis is based on a scenario where the UK leaves the EU and falls back on World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules ahead of a new free trade agreement.
According to international trade figures, $204 billion worth of British goods exported to Europe each year could face up to $7.6 billion in new tariffs under current rules.
However exporters remain optimistic ahead of Article 50 with businesses in both manufacturing and services confident in improving turnover over the next 12 months.
According to British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) in partnership with DHL, trade documentation fell by 1.42% in Q4 2016. The index now stands at 119.5, up 4.81% on Q4 2015.
Dr Adam Marshall, director general at BCC, said:
“The chancellor’s Budget must focus on cutting the up-front costs that government imposes on every business, and promote investment and exports.”
Net migration falls
The UK’s net migration fell by 49,000 to 273,000 3 months after the EU referendum result, according to Office for National Statistics.
Figures show that immigration fell by 23,000 to 596,000 in the 12 months to September while emigration rose by 26,000 to 323,0000.
Carolyn Fairbairn, director general at the Confederation of British Industry, said:
“The vast majority of people come to the UK to work, which benefits our economy. Any new immigration model must ensure those benefits continue, but that they are felt more evenly across the country.
“A new industrial strategy that delivers for people in all regions and nations of the UK, coupled with reform of public services, will help achieve this.”

Most of the industrial activities leave an enormous amount of waste, industries like factories, mines, and mills. Moreover, this industrial waste, city waste in the form of garbage containing non-bio degradable materials are also formed within the municipal limits.
This makes up one of the biggest pollution offenders for the environment, and it places a burden on our shoulders to assure that we dispose of them properly to save the environment for the future generation.
Utilizing abandoned plastic waste in the road construction was maybe the most important step taken toward this direction. Using waste plastic in this industry has two effects first this is a very suitable material to be used in road construction, second, it is highly cost-effective, due to the two mentioned benefits this can be one of the best ways of dealing with this problem.
This method creates two significant benefits, having roads all over the country that can connect even small villages to the cities with high quality and finding a solution to reuse a massive amount of wasted plastic.
Having proper transportation infrastructure is of the primary directives of each country since this is a vital criterion in the assessment of the country’s development.
Carrying this feature of being non-bio –degradable, makes it possible for these types of roads to last longer.
Plastic waste is like a two-sided sword if we leave them in the environment they will stay there for thousands of years which can cause many problems but the same featured material if used in road construction can have a positive effect.
The expansion in various types of industries along with an increase in population is followed by a considerable increase in generating different waste material all over the world. Combating the waste and disposal of them has always been a massive challenge for both developed and developing countries. Plastic is being used these days widely.
Only 10 % of all the produced plastic has been recycled since the 1950s. They mostly are dumped into junkyards or buried. Sadly, some of them are washed down seas through the rivers.
There is a similarity between plastic and bitumen since they are both products or by-product of petrochemicals, and they are polymers, bitumen is produced as a by-product of refining oil because of their similarity information, like long strands of molecules bound together firmly.
Due to the mentioned characteristic, plastic is durable, and it also contributes to its significant longevity. Road builders find this characteristic beneficial and useful.

Lauren Bushnell has finally opened up up about her split from Ben Higgins.
A bit, a minimum of.
Within the finish, it’s difficult to select sides here because Ben and Lauren met and “fell for each otherInch around the Bachelor.
âIt was much more the emotional connection that fizzled,â Bushnell explains towards the magazine.
“We’re feeling fortunate for that time we’d together, and can remain buddies with much respect and love for each other.
Whenever a good chance you come accross that matches your desires go, because existence is brief but much more fun when doing something enjoy.
Love as hard as possible (even going to other people), he authored.Â Think about what existence is all about and pursue your conclusion with passion.
Higgins were built with a job and buddies and family people there, while Lauren had nothing outdoors of her fiance.
That’s fair and mostly accurate.
A couple of days ago, following plenty of chatter online that the break-up was imminent, Higgins and Bushnell confirmed these were no more bumping uglies during sex.
After which he switched into her mere boyfriend and things spiraled after that.
âWe were just stressed and tired physically.”
Where made it happen all fail?
“It’s sad, but it’s nothing you need to have a pity party for me personally about, existence happens both negative and positive.Inch
“Emotionally, it simply wasnât there any longer.â
He authored on Instagram he was trying his hardest to disregard the “hateful words” targeted at his direction, but needed to admit they did “sting” at occasions.
âI remember during filming Happily Ever After, I had been so really stressed out, we couldnât even talk to each other whenever we were filming,” she states now, adding:
Talking with People Magazine, however, Bushnell is quick to state the ex-couple’s sex existence never required a downward turn.
Inside a stunning development, Bushnell admits that perhaps anchoring a real possibility show wasn’t the best for that couple’s lengthy-term hopes.
Ben known the podcast like a “professional decision” he earned without any regard to Bushnell after which attempted to pass through along a couple of words of knowledge.
This decision required place many several weeks ago, yet Higgins and Bushness didn’t split up until mid-May.
Yes, âof course” there is an actual link between the heavens throughout the whole of the relationship…
“The final couple of several weeks haven’t gone generate income might have preferred.”
…it had been the emotional aspect that brought towards the finish of time together.
“You want only the very best for one another, and request your support and understanding at the moment.â
Since, Higgins has gotten lots of backlash.
“I’ll once more clearly let you know I’m Not PERFECT as no one are and I have not claimed to become,Inch he authored, adding that he’s doing his better to live and discover.
After getting earned the ultimate rose out of this former Bachelor to summarize Season 20, Bushnell experienced many good and the bad with Higgins over about twelve months of dating.
“My the relationship has altered drastically and just what I envisioned my existence would be continues to be redirected.
âIt is by using heavy hearts that people announce our decision to visit our separate ways,” they stated inside a joint statement, further telling fans:
Tired of the critique, Higgins finally clicked a week ago.
Critics believe he brought Bushnell on and the man only used their romance for fame, especially considering his recent new podcast alongsideÂ Ashley Iaconetti.
Did anybody think these were ever will make it?
Sources have reported Bushnell’s proceed to Denver being an early level, as she essentially threw in the towel her entire existence for Higgins, simply to then remain with no real identity once she showed up in Colorado.

Apple is likely to release an upgraded Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Series 9 at its “Wonderlust” event tomorrow (September 12), alongside the much-anticipated iPhone 15 series. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Apple Watch Series 9 is going to get a significant upgrade over last year’s Watch Series 8, which is the new version of Apple’s optical heart rate sensor. The Apple Watch Ultra is likely to be unveiled in one size while the Watch Series 9 may come in two sizes.
In terms of upgrades, the purported Apple Watch Ultra 2 and the Apple Watch Series 9 are likely to feature new sensor and internal component upgrades that focus on accuracy, speed and efficiency. According to Gurman’s Power On newsletter, Apple’s Watch Series 9 and the second-gen Apple Watch Ultra will come with a new optical heart rate sensor. This would be a significant upgrade from the third-gen heart rate sensor on the Watch Series 8 and last year’s Apple Watch Ultra.
Several leaks and rumours have suggested that a new A15-based chipset will be fitted in the Apple Watch Series 9. Rumours from June suggest that three new smartwatches from Apple were spotted which were codenamed N207, N208 and N210. One of the smartwatches may be the Apple Watch Ultra 2 while the other two are likely to be part of the Apple Watch Series 9.
iPhone 15 Series May Get New Pastel Colours
According to Apple Insider, the vanilla iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will be launched in blue, yellow, white, black and pink or red options. The new colours look muted and very pastel, in line with what was suggested by previous rumours and renders. It should be noted that the black and white colour variants appear to be similar to the previous-gen models, with a glossy rear and matte sides. The white has pure silver sides, and the black looks completely black versus dark grey, the report added.

Compatibility and Laterality Effects in Directional Information Displays
NAVAL SUBMARINE MEDICAL RESEARCH LAB GROTON CT
Pagination or Media Count:
Stimulus-response S-R compatibility effects were examined in a series of experiments investigating mental representations of the directions right and left. In a simple word-picture verification task, both laterality and S-R compatibility showed strong effects using right-handed subjects. Displays with the term right took less time to verify than those with the term left, and compatible manual responses were faster than the incompatible. When the task was made more complex, no compatibility effect was found. In two picture verification tasks, laterality effects did not appear but the compatibility effects remained strong. Finally, a similar task was modified to eliminate the S-R compatibility effect, and the right-left directionality effect once again emerged. These results are discussed in terms of the cognitive processes involved in interpreting the spatial terms and in mapping the spatial codes for response.

Combine the artistry and brilliant virtuosity of countertenor Drew Minter and ARTEK/458 Strings with a program of vocal and instrumental jewels from 17th century Italy, and you have a recipe for a dynamic recording, bursting with musical fireworks, overflowing with emotion, and splashed with a multitude of colors. This is Drew Minter's debut recording on the Lyrichord Early Music Series and the follow-up of the critically acclaimed first recording by ARTEK, Monteverdi's Orfeo. This is certain to be the countertenor CD of the decade! Drew Minter is considered among the world's premier countertenors, he is also an accomplished stage director. He is especially well-remembered for his portrayal of Tolomeo in Peter Sellars' production of Giulio Cesare, which was also filmed for Decca/London. His more than forty recordings are to be found on the Harmonia Mundi, Hungaroton, Koch, and other labels. This is his first recording for Lyrichord. ARTEK is a musical organization that began in 1986, under the unerring director of Gwendolyn Toth. ARTEK has now grown into one of America's premier early music organizations, and has regularly received high acclaim from critics. Their first compact disc release of Monteverdi's Orfeo on the Lyrichord Early Music Series has garnered rave reviews. The 458 Strings ensemble is made up of the continuo and bass players of ARTEK.

EPOS, a new Danish audio company dedicated to the creation of high-end audio equipment for gaming, has just announced a new global gaming campaign that folds in a familiar name in the gaming audio space.
The crucial factor here - as well as the launch of a new gaming-focused audio company, which is always good to see - is that Sennheiser's gaming portfolio will be folded into EPOS. The new moniker under which we'll see Sennheiser gaming audio products will now be the dual-named 'EPOS | SENNHEISER' mantle.
Thus, as well as being the new branding of Sennheiser gaming headsets going forward, the expertise brought to EPOS through Sennheiser means that there is a good opportunity to build upon the gaming audio reputation that Sennheiser has already attained, while also introducing an exceptional new portfolio of premium EPOS branded products.
Based on the theme and promise of, "Out of this world gaming audio", EPOS's launch will be far-reaching and you'll hear a lot more about them as we head towards the end of the year. The promise is a hitherto unseen level of immersion in games through audio - which is a big promise considering what premium gaming headsets can do nowadays. And while this is just the announcement and beginning of a campaign which looks to bring EPOS to the fore, through its connection with Sennheiser, perhaps, we can look forward to new products imbued with the qualities of both companies later this year when the first major EPOS-only branded gaming product launches in October 2020.
We'll need to see some more information on EPOS products and special features that they bring to the table, of course, but folding in Sennheiser can only be a good thing to add to the arsenal as the Sennheiser name immediately brings quality, magic and audio excellence to the party, no matter the product.
Sennheiser gaming headsets have been consistently one of the top performers of recent years - despite often having large price tags, they often go a long way to justifying them. Our three recent reviews of the GSP 670 headset (opens in new tab), the GSP 370 headset (opens in new tab), and the GSP 300 headset (opens in new tab) demonstrate that. Check out the latest prices on those quality headsets below.
We cover headsets of all kinds here at GamesRadar+ - they are one of the best ways to enhance your gaming experience and immersion, and often the most cost-effective method too. Be sure to check out our guides on the best PS4 headset (opens in new tab), best Xbox One headset (opens in new tab), best Nintendo Switch headset (opens in new tab), and best PC headset for gaming (opens in new tab), or, if you're looking for a real pithy take, our guide to simply the best gaming headset (opens in new tab) money can buy.

Contentious Avon Road to close again
Avon Road between Bradley and Nagel is closing again, this time to less animosity.
In 2009, Westlake Mayor Dennis Clough placed a guardrail at the Avon border, effectively closing a quick access for Avon residents to the Crocker Road I-90 interchange, among other destinations. His reasoning: The road was unsafe and too expensive to fix.
This occurred years before Avon got its own access to I-90 with the Nagel interchange, which is at the east end of Avon road.
Avon's then-Mayor Jim Smith was upset. According to an April 2009 Cleveland.com report, he said he was given a “lead time of about a minute and a half” and called only when the barriers were in place.
Since then, the road was reopened twice – temporarily – in 2012 and recently to accommodate the overflow traffic from construction in Avon.
In a recent City Council meeting, Clough said he received a petition (among about 700 petitioners from all over Northeast Ohio, there are 197 Avon residents, 143 Westlake residents) requesting the road remain open permanently.
Clough thinks it will cost $3 million just to fix the Westlake section of Avon road – about half a mile. Avon’s section is a mile.
Why so much?
Bob Kelly, Westlake City Engineer, said, “The entire roadway will have to be re-constructed and the intersection of Avon Road at Bradley Road widened and a signal installed.”
Avon Road, on the Westlake side, has only one residential house. On the Avon side, there are several houses and two subdivisions.
Avon City Councilman Brian Fischer, who lives in one of the subdivisions, Willow Creek, conducted an unofficial poll in his subdivision about opening up Avon Road to through traffic. The result is split in the middle.
Fischer said his biggest concern is safety of the residents. Most of Avon Road has no sidewalk. (This reporter found an old, narrow, two-way road with limited, uneven shoulders and ditches.) The through-traffic may not know to watch out for pedestrians or cyclists. He supports placement of sidewalks if Avon Road is to be opened.
Clough and Avon Mayor Bryan Jensen met in mid-September. Jensen said he’d like to “work together as neighbors.” There may be general funding, grant money, and increased gas tax to support building a new road.
A plan is in place for both city engineers to meet, as Clough said, to “work out some numbers.”
Meanwhile, Clough plans to close Avon Road again in December when the construction on Nagel Road is completed.

don riling recognized for company’s contributions to the lgbtq community
Don Riling’s first encounter with Olympic Hot Tub came from seeing the company’s advertisements in the program for the Seattle Men’s Chorus, of which he was a member. He joined the company in 1995 to assist with marketing. He climbed the proverbial ladder and purchased Olympic Hot Tub in 2016, where he has served as president ever since.
Riling sang in the Men’s Chorus for 32 years, until his responsibilities as owner made rehearsal impractical. Instead, he’s given back to the Men’s Chorus and the Seattle Women’s Chorus by sponsoring concert seasons and donating hot tubs for fundraisers.
Throughout his career as a leader in the industry, Riling has made a point to support the LGBTQ community. In addition to supporting the choruses, Olympic Hot Tub has donated to Camp Ten Trees, which provides residential camping programs in Washington. The company has also sponsored films during the Seattle Queer Film Festival put on by Three Dollar Bill Cinema.
Several years ago, Olympic Hot Tub created a scholarship program awarding $5,000 to a student in the LGBTQ community to help students and young adults who may have been displaced from their homes due to coming out, resulting in an interruption at a chance for collegiate education. The scholarship’s purpose is to help the recipient regain confidence and continue educational pursuits.
Recognizing Riling’s contribution to the community, The Puget Sound Business Journal has awarded him with the Outstanding Voices award at the journal’s 2022 Business of Pride event.
Through this program, The Puget Sound Business Journal honors LGBTQ business leaders, advocates and allies whose work has made for a more inclusive and welcoming business community, all while driving the region’s economy. The journal recognizes 10 to 20 people in the Seattle area for this honor each year.
“Don Riling originally caught our attention through research for the largest LGBTQ-owned businesses lists,” says Ryan Lambert, editor in chief of The Puget Sound Business Journal. “Olympic Hot Tub was among the largest companies on that list for several years. When we learned about Don’s involvement in the GSBA and Men’s Chorus, we thought it was time we recognized those contributions with an individual award.”
Riling says he was shocked and surprised to receive the award. “When I bought the company, I made a conscious effort to raise the company’s overall philanthropic profile in every community in which we do business,” he adds. “I’m just working to lead our company the best I can every day. To have others recognize my effort is quite humbling. But I am very proud of their recognition.”
“The world we live in today is full of individuals who seem to feel it’s important to marginalize segments of our population,” Riling says. “I understand that people come from different backgrounds and have different points of view, but I’ve never understood the need to infringe upon others’ rights to live their own lives. I’m lucky enough to be in a place where I can give back and do what I feel is right for others.”

Do you remember 'WE ARE NOT AFRAID ?"
Shhh..listen. The latest hot citizen news is in: it's called...wait for it....
DAH DAH DAH!!!!......AMAZONFAIL!
And it's all the buzz on
uber-spakwad plebplob site Twitter apparently and a bunch of blogs.
And it's all do to with the heinous crime that Amazon had apparently temporarily delisted some gay and lesbian books from their searches or sale ranks. Apparently it was just a mistake anyway, but a look at the disproportionate furor it caused, or rather we are led to believe it caused shows that some people have got real problems with their political priorities, and without question that's being supported by the media.
Amazon are a huge business, and even it wasn't a mistake I kind of doubt they would have had any political reason reason behind this.
The Wall Street Journal's blog says:"In the message, Amazon said it excludes “adult” material from searches and best-seller lists by not calculating their sales ranks. Mr. Probst (some blogger ? -j) wrote that the “adult” classification didn’t apply to several of the targeted books and that some adult-oriented books, including a hardcover edition of “Playboy: The Complete Centerfolds,” continued to maintain their ranking. He also pointed to the blog of Craig Seymour, a writer who has noted his troubles with Amazon and sales rankings since February"
And of course the WSJ loves it, as do the media as a whole, because the whole gay issue has tremendous utility as a proxy issue, and has possibly become the de facto way of chipping away at the status quo by proxy.
Personally, and I don't mean to be rude, but I don't see some extension of the civil rights movement at all in any of this stuff.
I don't know about this blogger, and it's not all gays, but overall you do see a group of hysterical people trying to rationalise themselves predominantly, and completely the wrong way and getting certain quite important things wrong and alienating themselves even more in the process.
And we see this repeated mistake, this goof, that unfortunately some gay people do have about themselves, that's been encouraged by the media, and that the media propagate which is that: the gay lifestyle has a right to be seen
as an equal partner to heterosexuality, and in pretty much any context.
Some of it may just be people who mean well, but frankly, at some point, someone has to say something as well. Sure the odd article in the Daily Mail has come close to this at times, but I don't think seriously it can or should be seen as an equal partner per se and I think trying to do that is a distortion and error for a whole bunch of reasons, and in that sense Amazon are indeed under no obligation to present any books in principle, which is what these campaigners are worried about.
Note I'm not suggesting they shouldn't be published or burnt, what I'm saying is that how others treat them is an entirely different matter. It's not an issue of equality, as the WSJ suggest:"Neil Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, says in a statement: “GLAAD has reached out to Amazon.com and they indicate this was an error, so we expect to start seeing evidence of its correction immediately, and any loss of visibility of gay-themed books as a result of this error will be made right by Amazon … When people learn about the lives of gay and transgender people and the common ground we share, the culture changes and advances. It is so important that stories about the lives of our community are available, and that companies like Amazon promote these titles in an equal fashion”
Why ? I'm sure most people aren't that interested in them, and the idea that some gay romances excluded on Amazon represent some 'important' cultural fabric in general that people are 'missing out' on because they are gay is, just probably delusion if that's what's being suggested. And unfortunately we have seen several examples how the organised gay lobby globally is not a rational lobby, but an hysterical and even psychotic one
, that's very much a complete renunciation of the most basic 'common ground'.
It's not just enough to blame the wider society for those problems.
If anything its real utility is as a proxy for other issues of 'diversity' and for the media to chip away at essentially Western, conservative, basically normative society.
I don't believe the gay lobby has a whole lot of power on its own or is that significant on its own. Most of that power comes from what the media grants it, and where it's supportive it is so for other reasons.
On the other hand I don't believe all gay people subscribe to the worst aspects of their own frankly dreadful representation and image.
We are probably going to talk about this more at some point, and it's something one always does with a bit of a heavy heart, as it's a topic no one really wants to talk about.

New U.S., British ultimatum to Saddam: March 17
British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw on Friday presented a revised draft resolution giving Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein an ultimatum to disarm by March 17 or face the possibility of war.
Diplomats said the United States supports the proposal, an amendment to a U.S.-British-Spanish resolution that paves the way for war. But France, Germany, and other council members rejected the plan, saying it would automatically lead to military action, and France threatened to veto the resolution.
Straw distributed the new text, after his speech to the Security Council and said it would be introduced shortly.
"I am asking the (UN) secretariat to circulate an amendment we are tabling which will specify a further period beyond the adoption of a resolution for Iraq to take the final opportunity to disarm and to bring themselves into compliance," Straw said.
"He doesn't need more time to comply," Straw said of Saddam. "As he showed this week, he can act with astonishing speed when he wants to."
But France rejected the amendment. "We cannot accept an ultimatum as long as inspectors are reporting cooperation," Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin told the council. He said a deadline would be "a pretext for war."
"France will not allow a resolution to pass that authorizes the automatic use of force," he conveyed.
"To those who believe that war would be the quickest way to disarm Iraq, I would reply that it will drive wedges and inflict wounds that will be long in healing," the French foreign minister told the council.
He proposed another council meeting, but it wasn't clear when. During his previous appearance before the council, de Villepin suggested a March 14 meeting, but there was little support for the idea at the time.
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told the UN Security Council on Friday that the UN report on arms inspections in Iraq was "a catalogue of noncooperation" by the Iraqis.
Pressing his case for a resolution finding Iraq in violation of UN disarmament requirements, Powell said Iraq had been shopping in an unnamed European country for aluminum tubes for use in weapons programs.
"Iraq's small steps are not initiatives. They have been pulled out or pressed out under the threat of force... Cooperation is often more apparent than real," he said.
He said the only question the council should examine was whether Iraq is in full compliance in disarming. Iraq has not made the strategic decision to disarm, he said.
Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said that Russia still saw no need for a second resolution.
Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan said Beijing saw no need for another resolution, "particularly one that authorizes force." Tang said: "We need resolve and determination and more importantly patience and wisdom. The road to peace has not been exhausted." (Albawaba.com)

EcoChic HK – Eco Fashion That’s Ecologically & Socially Sustainable
EcoChic HK is an environmentally friendly fashion show and cocktail party promoting eco fashion and the concept that luxury living – from fashion to art, food and wine and financial investments – can be ecologically and socially sustainable.
It’s not everyday that Hong Kong’s glitterati are alchemized into green gems, but this was the case in October when celebrities Rain Li, Ivan Wang, Lisa S, William So Wing Hong, Ella Koon, Chau Kai-bong and Mrs Brenda Chau gathered at the hip new W Hong Kong for EcoChic HK – www.ecochicfashions.com
This eco fashion event, supported by UBS, showcased some of the hottest sustainable fashion labels currently on the scene from a host of international and local designers. These ready-to-wear labels wowed the most selective aficionados, serving as a celebratory, fashion-forward occasion to promote environmental sustainability.
Along with ready-to-wear, guests enjoyed vintage fashion – the grandest form of recycling – much of which was donated by Hong Kong’s high society, putting a new and glamorous spin on second hand clothing.
The finale of the show was the eco-couture section, where world-famous designers such as Diane von Furstenberg, Thakoon, Nathan Jenden, Arrogant Cat and Madame Marie made eco-couture dresses using eco-textiles or reconstructed clothing. Local designers Barney Cheng, Dorian Ho, Johanna Ho, Ruby Li and Cecilia Yau showed the enormous talent that Hong Kong designers have in highlighting the push towards a more sustainable fashion industry.
With fashion as the second largest industrial consumer of water worldwide, behind agriculture, and cotton responsible for 25 percent of all chemical pesticide use, designers and their followers are realizing it’s time to make a change. Designers in EcoChic HK used a variety of textiles, such as bamboo, organic silk, hemp and recycled textiles, such as saris and kimonos.
The Hong Kong event shows the positive influences that designers can make. With China, the ‘factory of the world’ on Hong Kong’s doorstep, there is perhaps no better place to exert positive moves towards sustainability.
Off the catwalk, guests enjoyed organic food, wine and cocktails, recycled art installations. Never a dull moment, the venue was decorated with over 50 mannequins clad in second hand clothing or eclectic recycled dresses ranging from lottery tickets to cling film.
As no fashion event can be complete without fashion, Sotheby’s conducted a live auction to raise funds for WWF HK – including a slinky pink bikini donated by Rain Li that resulted in heated bidding.
The star-studded event was organized by the Hong Kong non-profit, www.green2greener.com, and many of the looks in the show were available to buy online after the show.
EcoChic also encouraged guests to get into the spirit of the night by bringing with them items of their own clothing to donate, which will be sold on www.green2greener.com to raise funds for Hong Kong charities. Along with this, the site also sells for charity, luxury recycled tote handbags, designed by Kotur, that are made from table coverings from the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
EcoChic HK was the second EcoChic event – EcoChic Jakarta was in March 08. Following the great success of the event, organizers www.green2greener.com, are continuing to take the show on the road with EcoChic Shanghai taking place in January 09 and EcoChic Sydney in April 09.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday cleared a third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use in people 65 years of age and older, as well as those at high risk of exposure to coronavirus or disease. serious. Boosters should be given six months after a person has received their second dose of Pfizer vaccine.
The FDA decision came as an advisory group from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention held a two-day meeting on the safety and effectiveness of the Pfizer recall. On Thursday, those advisers will vote on who would qualify for a third shot.
Comprehensive coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic
Approval from the CDC group, known as the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee, is required before booster shots can be administered.
However, the timing of the FDA decision has cast an air of uncertainty on the first day of the ACIP meeting, which usually knows up front which FDA decision it will consider. Instead, the FDA announcement didn’t come until after Wednesday’s meeting ended.
Pfizer initially asked the FDA to consider a third dose for all people 16 years of age and older, six months after receiving their second dose. Last Friday, an FDA advisory committee rejected the request, limiting the recall to the elderly and those most at risk of becoming seriously ill from Covid-19.
The FDA advisory committee also suggested that people at high risk of workplace exposure, such as healthcare workers and teachers, should also be eligible for a booster dose. This was reflected in the EUA on Wednesday.

The booster dose is aimed at combating the decline in immunity of the original vaccine series. Data from Israel, presented at Friday’s advisory committee meeting, suggests protection against Pfizer’s vaccine drops dramatically after six months, although US data shows less decline, especially against disease serious. The first data from Israel also showed that a booster dose offered better protection against infection.
In denying Pfizer’s original request – that a booster be made available to all people 16 years of age and older – the FDA committee raised concerns about possible side effects of the vaccine, such as myocarditis, in young adults.
ACIP members also adopted a skeptical tone for much of Wednesday’s discussion of booster doses. In addition to requests for additional data, committee members wanted more clarity on the specific purpose of a booster dose: does it prevent all disease, or only serious disease?
Another thorny question that CDC advisers will continue to discuss on Thursday is what people who were initially vaccinated with Moderna or Johnson & Johnson should do, as Wednesday’s emergency use clearance only included people who have received the Pfizer vaccine.
“This will leave half of those vaccinated to be told they are at risk now or that they are in decline in immunity and hospitalization and unable to get a booster dose. This is a big one. public health panic that we would like to avoid, ”said ACIP member Dr. Sarah Long, professor of pediatrics at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia.
Moderna has submitted data on its booster dose to the FDA, and Johnson & Johnson is working on doing the same.

Newcastle United have confirmed the appointment of Graeme Jones, with the former Bournemouth assistant joining Steve Bruce’s coaching team.
The club confirm he “becomes an assistant to Steve Bruce and will work alongside Steve Agnew, Stephen Clemence and Steve Harper”, with Academy Head of Coaching, Ben Dawson, also ‘set to remain with the first team until the end of the current season’.
The 50-year-old was born in Gateshead and arrives for a reported compensation fee of £250,000.
He’s previously been assistant coach of the Belgium national squad, also working as Roberto Martinez’s ‘No. 2’ at Everton.
His one spell in management was an unsuccessful one, however, with him sacked at Luton in April last year after just 12 wins in 41 games left them second bottom of the Championship.
Here’s what Jones and Steve Bruce have had to say following today’s appointment:
“I’m proud to be here at the team I supported as a boy, and all of my life.
“During my playing and coaching career, it has always been the first result I would look for after my own.
“Now, I’ve hopefully got a chance to have a direct influence on results and the future of the football club, which is something I’m very excited for.”
“I’m delighted to welcome Graeme on board.
“He is vastly experienced and I could tell speaking to him that he is hugely passionate about the club and very keen to join us.
“He is from here but has been away for 35 years so the opportunity to come in and give us a hand is one he has jumped at.”
We wish Jones well and hope he makes a difference, but can’t help but feel this £250,000 should’ve been used to pay off Steve Bruce – a man who clearly doesn’t feel capable of turning things around on his own.

Minnesotans would pay more for fishing licenses, boat registrations and state park admissions under a new Department of Natural Resources (DNR) budget proposal headed to the Legislature.
DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen announced Tuesday that annual fishing licenses would increase 20 percent from $25 to $30 for state residents, while annual fishing licenses for non-residents would increase 35 percent from $46 to $62. The last time Minnesota fishing licenses went up in price was in 2017.
The boat fee schedule varies depending on the type and size of boat being registered, but a fishing boat between 17 and 19 feet would receive a 119% increase in registration from $27 to $59. Registering a pair of 20 shoes would cost $113, a 151% increase from $45. Strommen noted that watercraft registration fees are charged every three years and have not increased since 2006.
In addition to the proposed watercraft registration fee increase, boaters would pay a $20 aquatic invasive species surcharge, up from the current $10.60, according to the proposed budget.
To enter the state park, the annual sticker that now costs $35 would increase 29% to $45. Daily entry would increase by 42% from $7 to $10. Park fees were last raised in 2017. In all cases, if approved, the increases would begin in the fiscal year beginning July 1. The fishing license increase would begin on March 1, 2024.
Together, they will increase collections by $20.4 million a year to add five fishing stations, increase spending on lake and river infrastructure, upgrade camping facilities, increase accessibility to parks and trails, fund safety education, strengthen overspending budgets and increase outreach. enforcement, among others.
DNR Assistant Commissioner Bob Meier said the proposed fee increase will certainly draw some criticism, given the DNR’s request for more than $200 million in temporary funds to replace fish hatcheries, repair other damaged infrastructure, and adapt to climate change. , to plant trees, to expand. management and control of chronic wasting disease and pay for other investments.
More DNR capital spending requests will be announced later this week in connection with the state bond bill. Meier said the fee increases are necessary to preserve the proposed new assets once they are repaired and built. In the DNR fishery, for example, new jobs would be needed to optimize better fish storage capacities.
“We want to make sure we can take care of these things after they’re built or repaired,” Meier said. “I get the severity, but you have to look at the whole package.”

In today’s video clip I want to check out Bach’s well-known and beautiful atmosphere on the G String, which had been one-piece played inside my wedding party.
As a result, it’s near and dear to my center.
This video clip got requested by Malav on Patreon. If you’d like to see a number of the rewards we provide on Patreon, seriously run check out our very own web page!
Various variations of “Air from the G String”
First thing really worth specifying is there are two various variations within this bit – the “Air in the G-string” type, and Bach’s http://datingmentor.org/escort/pompano-beach room # 3 in D significant, BWV 1068.
For the future area of the intimate age, a violinist called August Wilhelmj arranged the atmosphere fluctuations using this suite for violin and guitar. The guy turned key signatures from D to C and transposed the violin melody down an octave, hence making it possible for him to relax and play the whole composition using one string – the G-string.
Another difference in the Wilhelmj revise and Bach’s authentic is within the revise, the melody try held by just one violin, whereas Bach’s adaptation uses the initial violins playing with each other as a team.
In today’s video clip, we’re likely to be examining Bach’s original variation, though we are going to fleetingly examine both in order to listen to a number of the differences.
Build of Bach’s package number 3 in D major, BWV 1068
Air from Bach’s package number 3 in D big, BWV 1068 could be the next movement. Here you will find the six movements within room:
If you’re thinking about studying a little more about the Baroque dancing package overall, you can examine completely our video clip about them.
These days we’ll you need to be looking at the Air, though I encourage you to have a look at package in full.
Backstory of environment on the G-string
This room had been made up in 1731 whenever Bach was at their mid-forties. A complete overall performance of all of the six movements is mostly about 23 minutes long (the atmosphere fluctuations is approximately 3 minutes).
It absolutely was obtained for limited Baroque band: 2 oboes, 3 trumpets, timpani, a first and 2nd violin component, viola, and basso continuo. The oboes generally proceed with the violin parts, while the trumpets and drum is there to provide a tiny bit pizazz in some places.
In the Air activity, precisely the chain and basso continuo gamble. It’s the actual only real movement from the six where the additional devices were quiet, and this fluctuations creates a good contrast to your people.
Comparison between Bach’s adaptation and the positioned type
The “Air about G-string” version, in addition to are transposed in accordance with a much lower melody, had some other improvement built to it really. Since violins can’t bring as loudly inside reduced registers, in keyboard/violin versions the keyboard role is created staccato and pianissimo. In string plans, the violins and violas play muted and the cello and double-bass become starred pizzicato and incredibly silently.
I’d choose to begin by using a pay attention to the orifice of Bach’s original, followed closely by the orifice of Air on the G String, the arranged adaptation with strings, so that you can evaluate the two and listen some variations. After that we’ll give attention to Bach’s version.
As a type of “Air in the G-string”
Let’s begin by talking about the type of this environment. In correct Baroque style, it is written in straightforward digital type. We’ve done a video clip on digital type (and all of our recent PTV course is discovering this notion in more detail), but here’s the basic tip:
- Digital type is within two portion, designated a then B
- The A and B area are different, although not dramatically various (they’re based on the exact same materials)
- The parts are noted by recurring indicators
- Normally an item in binary kind will highlight a modulation (short key changes) around the change from the A section to B area
This environment is written in asymmetrical binary type, which merely ensures that the one and B areas aren’t equivalent size – the B part is very a bit much longer.

Godzilla vs Kong Box Office collection update: Godzilla vs Kong has taken the US Box Office by storm after releasing in theatres on March 31. The monster drama has got a great response from the audience even during the COVID times and has emerged as the biggest pandemic film in the US market.
After its three-day collection, the film garnered a total of $27.9 million that rose to $48.5 million after the five-day extended weekend. The extended weekend collection of Godzilla vs Kong is huge in the US while the trade experts, as reported by Koimoi, had predicted a $42 million extended weekend in the US. Interestingly, after its opening weekend figure, the Adam Wingard-directorial has left Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman 1984 behind at the Box Office. The film had collected $16.7 million in its three-day weekend and it emerged as the biggest pandemic release in the US before Godzilla vs Kong hit the screens last week.
Interestingly, out of $71 million that the film has collected globally, $44 million is solely out of the China Box Office. The overseas total of the film is currently standing at $285 million.


After defeating Birmingham City in the FA Cup’s Third Round, Manchester City will face Cheltenham Town in the competition’s Fourth Round. Cheltenham will host the match.
On paper, this is a very uneven matchup as Cheltenham play in the fourth-division of English football while Manchester City compete in the top flight of English football. The match should be straightforward, but the Sky Blues cannot afford to be complacent.

Many will remember City’s FA Cup Fifth Round tie against Wigan Athletic during the 2017/18 season. The Sky Blues were heavily favored to win the match, but Wigan had other plans. City’s Fabian Delph was sent off at half-time, and City were down to ten men during the entire second half. Wigan would earn a surprising 1-0 victory after City’s defense were caught napping and Wigan scored against the run of play through Will Grigg late in the match to the shock of fans and media around the world.
Under manager Pep Guardiola, the Sky Blues also lost against Arsenal in the FA Cup’s Semi-finals in both 2016/17 and 2019/20. Man City, however, did win the competition with Guardiola during the memorable 2018/19 season. After defeating Watford 6-0, City became the first senior men’s team in English football to win all three (or four) of England’s domestic trophies: the English Premier League, Carabao Cup, FA Cup, and Community Shield.
Cheltenham Town will face the Citizens on Saturday, 23 January in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Should City defeat their opposition, they will travel to either Swansea or Nottingham Forest during the competition’s fifth round.
