I’ll try to keep this brief. An article I just read in the newspaper makes me both laugh and become upset at the same time. The title reads: House would ban Confederate flags on VA cemetery flagpoles.
There is not enough space here to share the proper history of the Confederate States reasons for going to war. Please do your own research and do not buy into what these bigots (that’s right liberals, I have a right to use that word too) say, chalking the war up to slavery and hatred. When it comes down to it, the southern states were being overtaxed to fund the North while the North was decreasing the South’s representation and state rights over federal power. The Confederate flag stands for the freedom the forefathers intended where states rights took precedence over a federal lord head.
Later, the Klan that had been a peace-keeping group was taken over by radicalists. Though its rightful leaders tried to disban the group, they were defied and the Confederate flag was perverted. Because of these men and the propaganda of the North, we who hold the flag for its pure purpose and honor our heritage are forever branded as racists. But just as I refuse believe that the American flag represents this socialist government and bleeding-heart-liberal society that has hijacked the nation, I refuse to let racism pervert the Confederate flag.
Now that we have that out of the way, let us move on. No matter the misgivings of these ignorant people, I think the federal government does the legal right to decide what flags are displayed in federally-funded cemeteries. If we handled all funding locally this would not be an issue. What bothers me most about this article is the admission that the capital refuses to continue displaying the Mississippi state flag in the House hallway. Let me restate that. A Southern state is being refused representation in one of our federal lawmaking buildings. This gives me the uneasy feeling of an ugly part of history repeating itself.
“To continue to allow national policy condoning the display of this symbol on Federal property is wrong, and it is disrespectful to what our country stands for and what our veterans fight for.” – California democrat Jared Huffman
What is truly sad is Huffman in his ignorance is right in a way. The Confederate flag stands for state rights, the quest for equal representation, and the wish for freedom from a power-hungry federal government. That’s what our country used to stand for, but Huffman is right, it doesn’t any more.

A recent online poll conducted by YouGov, that focused on mental health and stress, discovered that 74% of people in the UK have felt so stressed at work they have been overwhelmed or felt unable to cope. This staggering statistic demonstrates just how prominent mental health issues are in society, as this study was the largest known stress study ever conducted in the UK.
As well as this, the study also looked at behavioural and phycological effects mental health issues can cause as well as what causes stress. These statistics show just how important events like Mental Health Awareness Week are. Taking place throughout the week, this year the week is focusing on stress in the workplace and how to cope with it.
Looking at the perspective of both employees and employers, mental health charity Mind are encouraging workplaces up and down the country to improve their approach to the issue. Here at the Champions Speakers agency, we understand how important it is to support the mental health of all our employees. This includes wellbeing initiatives such as monthly massages and free access to our on-site gym. This week is a great time for employers and employees to begin thinking about their own mental health and wellbeing.
We have several fantastic after dinner speakers on our books who have suffered from and come into contact with mental health issues in their lives and careers, and have outlined some of our speakers who are able to discuss their own experiences.
Britain’s first openly gay rugby union player, Gareth Thomas, made history when he came out in 2009. The star was a huge success on the pitch for his country Wales, playing 100 times but off the pitch he suffered with mental health issues. Trying to hide his true sexuality, he got married in his teens and when he came out and got a divorce he made several suicide attempts. Incredibly honest he can open up about his experiences at all of his events.
Kellie Maloney at Champions Speakers' LGBT, Diversity & Inclusion networking breakfast at The Gherkin, London.
People within the LGBT community are at a greater risk of mental health problems according to the online poll. As a trans woman, Kellie Maloney understands this and through her work as a diversity and inclusion speaker has come into contact with people who have suffered from a range of issues. At all her events she is able to give inspiring speeches about her own experiences as a trans woman, and her life and career.
One of England cricket’s greatest ever batsmen, Jonathan Trott, represented his country in some of the world’s biggest cricket events. This includes being a member of three back to back Ashes wins but it was during the 2013/14 Ashes that he suffered his lowest point in cricket. In the middle of the series that saw England defeated by Australia, Jonathan suffered from anxiety and flew home from the event describing it as a “long-standing, stress-related condition." At all his speaking events he can discuss this time in his life and how he overcame it.
Known as ‘Britain’s brainiest footballer’, Clarke Carlisle is a former Burnley, Leeds and Watford defender who also worked as the Chairman of the Professional Footballers’ Association. However, despite his, success in the game, he has attempted suicide in the past, and been diagnosed with major depressive disorder. An extremely eloquent speaker who is currently doing well, Clarke is able to talk about his experiences with mental health at these events.
Marcus Trescothick MBE
Another former England international cricketer who has suffered with mental health issues is Marcus Trescothick MBE. The Somerset opening batsmen played 76 tests for his country but was plagued by mental health issues that saw his England career come to an end in 2011. Despite this, he has continued to represent Somerset, spending 26 years with the team. At every event he attends Marcus is able to talk about his mental health conditions.

Halladay rememberedJanuary 24, 2019 6:09am
Jays fans are sharing stories about Halladay’s years in Toronto after he was named as an iductee into Cooperstown this week.
Scott Crawford of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in St. Marys says Halladay’s determination from the start laid the foundation for his career.
“He was sent down to single-A after being a high draft pick and a picther of the future. He got hit around in 2000 and sent down to single-A to re-figure out how to pitch,” said Crawford. “He was determined and rode the buses and figured out how to pitch all over again.”
And one of the stastically highlights for Crawford about Halladay, his complete games.
“We don’t hear about complete games anymore. He had 67 in his career,” said Crawford. “It’s a lot different compared to today’s game where you throw five or six innings and your happy and the bullpen comes in.”
Halladay was inducted into the CBHF in June of 2017 and he will be inducted into Cooperstown posthumously in July.

Backsliding quote from John Bunyan’s book Pilgrim’s Progress
“Christian: Well, I think it is like this:
First they withdraw their thoughts as much as possible from the remembrance of God, death, and judgment to come.
Then by degrees they give up their self-discipline, such as private prayer, curbing their lusts, watching their conduct, regretting sin, and the like.
Then they shun the company of lively, warmhearted Christians.
After that they grow negligent of public duty, such as hearing and reading the Word of God, attending meetings, and the like.
Then they begin to find fault with Christians, picking holes in the coats of the godly (because of some weakness which they fancy they have seen in them), and casting aspersions on the good name of disciples behind their back.
Then they begin to associate with worldly, loose, and evil-minded people. They also give way to carnal, lustful, and immoral practice in secret; and seek to find such practice in those who are counted true, that they may say they are their example.
After this they play with sin openly.
Then being hardened, they show themselves as they are: downright wicked.
Now, being bogged down again in the gulf of misery, they perish forever in their own deceiving unless a miracle of grace prevents it.”

Black History Month poster contest honors black educators
When Austin Valentine chose someone to make a poster about, he decided to go with a personal connection.
The DeLeon Elementary School fifth-grader chose to make a poster about Harold Cade, a Victoria educator who was his father’s principal and now has a school named after him in the Victoria Independent School District.
Austin was awarded first place Friday during the Black History Month Poster Contest reception at the University of Houston-Victoria. He received a $2,000 UHV scholarship and a Victoria College summer camp voucher.
The theme for this year’s contest was Black Educators. Fifth-graders across Victoria Independent School District submitted 140 posters for the contest. The posters were judged by representatives from UHV, Victoria College and the Victoria Black History Steering Committee Inc.
“It is an honor to participate in this celebration of important parts of America’s culture,” UHV President Vic Morgan said. “This contest gives these talented fifth-graders the opportunity to research and learn about the history of black educators and other influential figures who have impacted Victoria and the nation.”
When he was researching Cade for his poster, Austin went to the educator’s home and spoke to him in person. The information from that interview was incorporated into the poster. Austin also included a photo of himself with Cade.
“It’s very exciting to win this contest, and I really liked getting to meet Harold Cade,” Austin said. “I learned about all kinds of things, like how he lived through segregation and started working in education. When I started this project, I didn’t know he was a principal and had a school named after him.”
Kooper Wilkerson, a fifth-grade student at Vickers Elementary School, received second place for his poster about Alice Ora Wilkins. He won a $1,000 scholarship and a VC summer camp waiver. He made his poster about Wilkins after finding her headstone as part of a graveyard tour.
“She was the first female black teacher at the Port Lavaca Colored School at the age of 16,” Kooper said.
Gage Goldman, a fifth-grader at DeLeon, earned third place with his poster about Martha Morrow Foxx. He received a $500 scholarship and a VC summer camp waiver.
Honorable mention selections in the poster contest were:
- Arthur Avila, Vickers Elementary School
- Haley Beckner, Vickers Elementary School
- Amelia Cavazos, Smith Elementary School
- Daysha Lugaro, Dudley Elementary School
They received gift bags from UHV and VC.
The ceremony included remarks from Morgan; Susan Prukop, Victoria College development director; and James Murphy Jr., Victoria Black History Steering Committee Inc. member.
The posters will be on display through February in the UHV University Center, 3007 N. Ben Wilson St.
The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region since 1973 in Victoria, Texas, offers courses leading to more than 80 academic programs in the schools of Arts & Sciences; Business Administration; and Education, Health Professions & Human Development. UHV provides face-to-face classes at its Victoria campus, as well as an instructional site in Katy, Texas, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. UHV supports the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Opportunities for All initiative to increase awareness about state colleges and universities and the important role they have in providing a high-quality and accessible education to an increasingly diverse student population, as well as contributing to regional and state economic development.

Jamie is a Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in working with adolescents, couples and families to minimize conflict, support personal growth, manage stress, and strengthen a sense of connectedness and well-being, both for the self and within the family.
Jamie has loved having the opportunity to support adolescents and their parents to find new and more fulfilling ways of being together – everything from collaborating, communicating, nurturing, individuating, limit setting, taking responsibility, having fun and so much more! She is so excited to support gradiant parents in creating the kind of college launch experience, for themselves and their child, that they would most like to have, including the recognition of their own good parenting. Jamie strongly believes that gradiant provides a rare and precious opportunity for families to feel supported as they transition into a new chapter of their family life.
Jamie started her psychotherapy career as a result of navigating the challenges of adolescence with her own children. As a single mother, the most important thing she learned was that she didn’t have to do it alone. She did research, asked questions and sought support from those with whom she resonated. She looked at what she was bringing to the situation and what she might be able to do in order to support different outcomes, and in that process, her family life started to improve. That was when she knew she wanted to help other parents and their teens experience each other in new ways.
Jamie’s approach is integrative, holistic, caring and friendly, and she provides a compassionate environment in which to explore areas of growth, reduce stress and anxiety, improve communication in relationships, and develop new skills.

World famous Teddy the Shetland Pony and his four-legged friend Le Corgi were guests of honour this past weekend at a tea at The Goring Hotel to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Since it opened in 1910, The Goring has been a firm royal favourite, and is today the only five-star luxury hotel in London that is owned and run by the family that built it. In the heart of Belgravia, surrounded by embassies and just steps away from Buckingham Palace, The Goring is the only hotel to have been granted a Royal Warrant for hospitality services by Her Majesty The Queen. Crafting the highest standards of hospitality for over a century, the late George Goring accepted an OBE at Buckingham Palace for ‘services to the hotel industry’ in 1990.
So, with the proximity to the palace and its strong royal connections, The Goring couldn’t be a more appropriate venue for Platinum Jubilee celebrations during this anniversary year. The hotel are celebrating in devasting style: with a glorious afternoon tea, resplendent cocktails, Coronation-inspired dishes in the Dining Room designed the Queen’s nephew David Linley, plus much more.
Being a family run hotel, The Goring really know how to keep all generations occupied and happy. Aside from photo opportunities with Teddy the Shetland and the cuddly Le Corgi, we were delighted to experience their Jubilee Afternoon Tea, a very British pastime to celebrate this royal occasion.
The exquisite menu includes Her Majesty's Royal fruit cake, classic scones with jam and clotted cream, pony shaped cookies, very British sandwiches including Coronation Cotswold chicken, and handmade sausage rolls, all topped off with Bollinger Champagne.
Tea was served in The Veranda’s pavilion overlooking the tranquil walled garden, a fabulous green oasis in the heart of the city, perfect for the younger, more active members of the DIPLOMAT magazine family, providing them with plenty of space to lark about.
In the months ahead, guests can toast to The Queen’s 70 years of service with the Jubilee Fizz or Coronation Cup Cocktails in the beautiful surroundings of The Goring Cocktail Bar, or even enjoy historic Coronation dishes that have been reintroduced to the Dining Room for another generation to enjoy, following the discovery of the very menu that The Goring created for guests in residence for Her Majesty The Queen’s Coronation in 1953.
The Goring’s Jubilee Stay promises an exquisite two-night escape encapsulating all the Platinum Jubilee excitement. Those looking to celebrate in the ultimate style might prefer the much sought-after Royal Suite, with its own unique collection of royal artefacts from handwritten letters and stationery to military regalia, and a guest cloakroom with walls lined with the same beautiful silk that graces The Throne Room in Buckingham Palace.

So you will find the remaining capacity be slightly larger or smaller, this is normal circumstances.
Q: How to use the SSD properly to well protect it?
A: Currently, the SSD average erasure feature and built-in error correction mechanism can increase the SSD lifespan. But in general, SSD lifespan depends on the how it is been used and the work environment, if mass and long time large numbers data been written or been used under high-temperature environment . which would likely to reduce the SSD lifespan.

Kowalskiy: Who are miasma?Alex: miasma started out as Michael Davidson and myself (Alex Auldsmith). We have been musically cohesive since I can remember but the songs we eventually pulled together seemed like they deserved better than to be played by just two slightly awkward songwriters on acoustic instruments. So (after a huge number of transitory members) the band was completed with 2 more awkward but musically beasting members: first Dominic Hardy on drums and then Rob MacNeacail on bass. Feathered Feet shows the fruits of our writing as a duo and represents our youth as a band but the songs we now play at shows are something different and include the whole band in the writing process and in doing so creates a bigger vision.
Kowalskiy: How would you describe 'your sound'?Alex: I would describe the sound of Feathered Feet as being very grounded in strong chord progressions and grand, integral vocal harmonies. We have always aimed to produce something appealing to ourselves and in doing so cant help but try to give it musical integrity as well as an emotional resonance. Wow I sound pretentious as hell.... the term "music for musicians" doesn't always sit well but I think we would be proud to be described as that. In general we find it hard to fit into any particular scene but also feel like that is a good thing because we don't think genre should be as all encompassing as it is to so many bands out there.
Kowalskiy: PLUG AWAY!!!Alex: Well you can hear the whole album on the Bandcamp. You can also buy it there don't forget. We will have an EP to release later this year and a launch date revealed shortly but in the meantime you can watch us play some of our unreleased material on our YouTube thing (here and here). We have a lot of live shows coming up at some really nice venues including a regular slot at The Jazz Bar ... so come find us!
Kowalskiy: What else can we expect from miasma in the future?Alex: We've got about 2 albums worth of material just waiting to be recorded so will be trying to get that done and released as soon as. We record and produce everything ourselves so it is a massive labour of love getting stuff done but does allow us complete creative control. We're hoping to get a wee tour (or several) on the go so will be travelling round England and Scotland a lot and will definitely get back up to our little house in Tarskavaig to write and record some more songs. All in all we will be keeping busy and trying to raise a bit of a profile. I'm excited.
And Alex has every right to be! If you are too, then be sure to head on over to their Bandcamp and have a listen to the rest of their great album, and as well as their regular gig at The Jazz Bar, you can catch them live at The Third Door in Edinburgh on the 5th of May with White Heath. All the details are here.

Clarence House – The House Of Cornwall
Britain’s royal homes are surprisingly accessible: in May, people around the world got a good look beyond the walls of Windsor Castle at Harry and Meghan’s wedding; Buckingham Palace currently has its State Rooms on show for public tours; and you can visit Kensington Palace, home to William, Kate, Harry and Meghan every day of the week. In fact, the royal residence with the most impenetrable gates is actually Clarence House – but that’s all changing this month.
Prince Charles (the Prince of Wales) and the Duchess of Cornwall reside beyond the cream walls of this 1827 John Nash creation, which is next to Green Park but within the boundaries of St James’s Palace. From Monday to Friday during August only, you can take a 45-minute tour of five rooms on the lavish ground floor.
The house was built for George III’s son, the Duke of Clarence, and its last resident was Charles’ grandmother the Queen Mother, who lived here for almost 50 years. Clarence House was even home to the Queen herself in the early years of her marriage.
Costing £10.30 for adults and £6.20 for children between five and 17, the tour begins in the garden, before you’re taken inside to see the areas which are used by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall for hosting official engagements. The rooms on show include the Lancaster Room, used as a waiting room by guests and home to two eye-catching porcelain vases, which date from 18th-century China. Meanwhile, in the Morning Room, treasures to look out for include a golden-edged 1773 Chippendale sofa and a pair of flamboyant mantel clocks. The cosy Garden Room was occupied by Princess Margaret before she married. If you feel that 45 minutes may not be long enough, then enter from Wednesdays to Fridays, between 4.30pm and 6pm. This longer tour includes the Cornwall Room, which is filled with paintings by Prince Charles. The after-hours visit includes a guidebook and a glass of Champagne, so you’ll be feeling regal in no time.

Bike route group receives $25,000 for project
Approval for a city-wide network of bike routes was given to Midland’s Non-Motorized Transport Advisory Committee of the Planning and Development Department.
The Midland Bike-Walk NMT program was approved for the 2011-2012 fiscal year.
Some $25,000 was spent last year completing signage and painting of roads such as Ashman and Rodd, said NMT Committee Member Craig Mosley.
“An important distinction is that these are not local property tax dollars,” said Director of Planning and Community Development Keith Baker via e-mail. “These are funds otherwise appropriated by the state for street right-of-way work.”
“The plan which outlines bike routes was approved two years ago,” said NMT Committee Chair Dave Waite. “Last year we put in the first lanes down Ashman and Rodd and the downtown loop.”
The current plan is to complete the intra-city network as soon as possible. A $25,000 pledge from Dave and Patti Kepler was announced by the NMT Committee. With this pledge, Mosley said the goal is to get the project done as soon as possible rather than waiting several years.
“Waiting for city funding is not always guaranteed,” Mosley said. “With their help, we’re pursuing private funding.”
The bike routes will help establish the city as being bike friendly.
“Midland is unique with it’s connected neighborhoods,” Mosley said. “I’ve encouraged people over the years to ride their bikes, but they don’t always know the best way to get around. More people can be active rather than use motorized vehicles.”
Waite said there is strong support for building these routes in the community.
“We’re going to work on having some kind of event every month to get people out on their bikes,” Waite said. “Anything that can contribute to the health and well-being of the city is important to do.”

Hi your tutorial has inspired to me make the 2d/3d hybrid levels that I was mentioning.
It’s a fairly basic premise. Some scenes are 2d and others are 3d.
2d scene enemies initiate 2d turn based combat. 3d scene enemies initiate 3d tbc.
However everything else is the same: inventory, stats, status effects etc.
Could you provide me with the details on what you see as the best way of accomplishing this?

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical storm Carlos was weakening fast off western Mexico on Wednesday morning as it closed in on the coast from the Pacific, threatening to dump heavy rain on a handful of states, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Carlos was about 10 miles (16 km) south of Playa Perula blowing maximum sustained winds of about 45 miles per hour (72 kph) with higher gusts, and moving north-northwest at around nine miles (14 km) per hour, the Miami-based NHC said.
Carlos, which was downgraded from a hurricane overnight, was expected to become a tropical depression by Wednesday night and a remnant low by Thursday morning, the NHC said.
It said the storm could produce rain in the states of Michoacan, Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit through Friday.

Scientific research Coordination Cell
The UZA assigns a prominent place to research. Knowledge and scientific research are increasingly taking centre stage in support of care and education. In 2008 the Council and the Medical Board created two posts to support this policy: scientific project manager and statistician. Together they form the research cell.
Elke Smits, as scientific project manager, is the central point of contact for all enquiries about the content of scientific and clinical research. In constant dialogue with the doctors and researchers involved, the aim is to actively look for possible partners and channels for finance in order to build on the UZA’s research activities.
Kristien Wouters, as the statistician, supports the UZA researchers with all their questions about statistics: from power calculations for clinical studies to checking the statistics produced in the context of project applications, trials or publications.

Homelessness, mental health response, cost-saving recommendations and fee decreases to incentivize commercial development were the hot topics at Tuesday’s San Jose City Council meeting. Here’s the weekly breakdown:
Annual Homeless Report
Despite the hardships exacerbated by COVID-19, the city’s housing department said it has made notable progress on San Jose’s 2020-2025 plan to end homelessness.
In the past fiscal year, the city sheltered 1,755 unhoused individuals in emergency shelters, 8,535 in temporary housing and 2,926 were permanently housed—bringing the city 30% closer to housing 20,000 individuals though supportive housing.
San Jose also doled out $36 million in rent relief to 15,000 households that brought the city 63% closer to its expansion of homelessness prevention systems and other early interventions to serve 2,500 people per year.
Three new interim housing sites opened, adding 326 beds, which puts the city at 18% of its goal to double temporary housing and shelter capacity.
The city also achieved a 30% reduction in the annual inflow of people becoming homeless.
Officials said part of the success is due to a one-time infusion of $42 million from state and federal programs.
“The challenge now is, how do we keep doing this work, iterating and scaling it (without those one-time funds)?” said Ragan Henninger, deputy director of the housing department.
San Jose faced a reckoning in 2019 when the number of homeless people counted in the city jumped 42% since 2017. The pandemic exacerbated those numbers and the biennial homelessness count that will be released July is expected to show another increase. And while the city made progress housing people, residents across the county are still falling into homelessness faster than they can be housed. San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo called it the city’s biggest failure.
Downtown Crisis Response Program
San Jose is allocating $1.2 million to deploy a crisis team across the downtown core. The team will respond to unhoused individuals in mental health crises, and will be tasked to de-escalate situations and help individuals in need of mental health treatment and other immediate services.
“While on the police force I saw and have seen how the lack of proper resources have allowed these conditions to worsen within our houseless population,” Councilmember Raul Peralez said. “Rather than be connected through proper care, most of our homeless individuals shuffle in and out of jail or through temporary holds (at local hospitals).”
The program will be operated by nonprofit PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) and will work in tandem with the city’s housing department.
Semi-annual audit recommendations
Every six months, the city auditor makes a list of recommendations to improve the efficiency and delivery of city programs, in an effort to increase transparency and accountability and save money for the city.
In the most recent report, the city auditor made 261 recommendations that could save San Jose $12.3 million. Many of these recommendations carried over from as early as 2018, however, with 16% totally implemented, 59% partly implemented and 27% not implemented at all. The revised target goal for many of the suggestions is this summer.
The No. 1 cost-saving priority is to revise the San Jose Police Department’s policy for accrued paid time off to reduce the city’s liability—a priority since 2018. Paid time off balances grew significantly since the last audit—from $13 million to $23.5 million. The payout for excess paid time off also grew from $270,000 to $19.3 million in the last decade. The city auditor is recommending San Jose buy out 10% of employee balances, which would save $227,000 in future costs.
The city auditor also made numerous recommendations for many city departments—the most for the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department, along with the police department and the Planning, Building and Code Enforcement Department.
Development fee decreases
Despite protest from several affordable housing advocates, the City Council unanimously approved fee decreases for commercial developers. Those fees are used to support affordable housing solutions. Read more.

One of the highlights of Day 1 of the 2023 WTA Credit One Charleston Open is the battle between two Top 50 players: Jil Teichmann and Linda Fruhvirtova. It’s the first career meeting between the two. Who do you think will come out on top? As always, we also predict the rest of the day’s matches. We split them between this and three other articles. One features Elina Svitolina vs Yulia Putintseva, the second highlights Sloane Stephens vs Louisa Chirico, and the third features Anna Kalinskaya vs Anhelina Kalinina.
WTA Charleston Day 1 Predictions
Kayla Day vs Sachia Vickery
Head-to-head: Vickery 2-1
These two have played three times before, but it will be their first clay-court meeting. Sachia Vickery has had some injury issues in recent years, but in her prime, she was very capable of getting good runs on the dirt. Unlike Kayla Day, she lost two sets in the qualifying here, but also faced a much tougher set of opponents–Ashlyn Krueger and Laura Siegemund. Especially that second win was quite impressive and Vickery still has more upside than Day, even at this stage of her career.
Prediction: Vickery in 3
Lauren Davis vs Katherine Sebov
Head-to-head: Davis 1-0
Katherine Sebov is quietly enjoying a pretty great season, including the Linda Noskova upset in Australian Open qualifying and an ITF title in Toronto. She also blasted her way through the qualifying here, but faces a much tougher opponent now in Lauren Davis. The Hobart champion might need to shake off a bit of rust before she’s ready to play her best, but she’s more likely to do that eventually that Sebov is to take her out of the event.
Prediction: Davis in 3
Fiona Crawley vs Alize Cornet
Head-to-head: First meeting
This is quite an opportunity for the college tennis standout Fiona Crawley (University of North Carolina) to test herself against a Top 100 player. It’s really hard to estimate where exactly the American will be compared to Alize Cornet, but it’s not like the veteran is in top shape at the moment. In fact, she’s at just 1-6 for the season. It would still be a shock to see Crawley win, but it wouldn’t be the upset of the century.
Prediction: Cornet in 2
Jil Teichmann vs Linda Fruhvirtova
Head-to-head: First meeting
Jil Teichmann played this event twice and never went past the opening round of the qualifying event. Now she’s of course firmly inside the Top 50 and easily gets direct entry. Trying to stop her from getting her first win in Charleston will be the 17-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova, who’s definitely stagnating a bit so far this season. The young Czech is very consistent, but on clay, her lack of depth and attacking repertoire might end up being more visible.
Prediction: Teichmann in 3

From Martha Mitchell’s Encyclopedia Brunoniana:
The Brown Review, subtitled “The Magazine of Brown University, formerly Brunonia,” first appeared in the fall of 1960, announcing that it would be published quarterly by the students of Brown University in cooperation with the English Department and the Committee on Student Organizations. The first issue contained a series of essays on “Aspects of Creativity,” written by ten members of the faculty, and also some fiction, an anonymous poem, and two book reviews. There were four issues the first year, one the second, and two the third, after which the magazine was superseded by the Brown Daily Herald Review, published by the Herald from October 1963 to January 1966. A new Brown Review, which superseded the Brown Daily Herald Review ran from April 1966 to the fall of 1966, and was superseded by the Literary Magazine of Brown University.

You little dumpling…
So fluffy and endearing, floating on that sea of brown,
appearing as a bloated whale.
I won’t be interfering with your buoyancy.
Won’t even be peering into the pan.
I’m waiting for the moment when you, dumpling, are dumped upon my plate,
plumped by the gravy and surrounded by meat
for me to eat. — Francesca Johnson
It was nice painting again with the Montreal Urban Sketchers today as I had not joined them for a very long time. We met at the Restaurant Kim Fung in Chinatown and I sat with people that I had never met, had a terrific brunch with all kinds of exciting dumplings and some that were very mysterious looking and then came back home to prepare for my classes for the week. As always, when I start sketching with a big group of people I am overly excited and dip into too many colours and sometimes my paints get muddied… but no matter, it was fun. For those of you who have never eaten at this place, it is really worth a visit.
Comme toujours c’était super plaisant de peindre aujourd’hui avec les Urban Sketchers de Montréal. Nous nous sommes retrouvés au moins 20 personnes pour manger et peindre en même temps au Restaurant Kim Fung dans le Chinatown de Montréal. C’est tout un de ces défit, je peux vous le dire. Si vous aimeriez vous joindre à nous, nous nous rencontrons à chaque 4e dimanche du mois et l’endroit est indiqué sur le site.
Paper: Travelogue Series

Sønderjylland’s geographical location as the border region has resulted in a unique culture and history which can be experienced everywhere throughout the region.
A tradition that dates all the way back to the Middle Ages and which is still popular in parts of Sønderjylland.
Meats and sausages from Sønderjylland are famous throughout Denmark. And it’s no coincidence, because the Sønderjylland butcher’s craft is synonymous with quality and high meat content.
The region's famous Coffee Table - Sønderjysk Kaffebord - is an institution that can be traced back to the Danish struggle for sovereignty.
In Sønderjylland, the history of the region is all-pervading and is really brought to life; indeed, our history is an important part of who we are.

A world-class neurosurgical and stroke centre has been built, equipped and inaugurated at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), Calabar, Cross River State through the sponsorship of the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd (NLNG).
The project, said to cost over $500,000 or over two hundred and thirty two million naira, has 16 dedicated unit beds, two recovery room beds, one operating theatre suite, three consulting rooms, a pharmacy, sleep-in rooms, its own dedicated water supply and alternative power backup system, among others.
Speaking at the inauguration, the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of UCTH, Prof. Ikpeme A. Ikpeme, said: “The decision to construct and equip a neurosurgical and stroke centre was based on inputs from our Department of Internal Medicine, as well as our Accident and Emergency Services, which identified stroke as the most common non-traumatic emergency in our setting.”
He added: “In furtherance of this, numerous academic publications, including Cochrane Database of Systematic reviews, have shown that ‘more organised stroke care was consistently associated with improved outcomes; and stroke patients, who receive organised inpatient care in a stroke unit are more likely to be alive, independent and living at home one year after the stroke.”
The CMD said between 2020 and now, “no major neuro-surgical case has been referred outside our hospital. We have the personnel and with this centre, additional equipment to continue to build on our objectives, we have strengthened our radiodiagnostic abilities, moving from no reliable radiodiagnostic equipment in 2019 when our tenure came on board to full direct digital X-rays, 4-ultrasound scanners and computed tomography services, etc; and plans to install an MRI in the hospital this year.
“In addition, we have recently added interventional radiology to our Armamentarium of services; and as at today, we are the only public health institution offering interventional radiology services in southern Nigeria.”
The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, who performed the inauguration, but was represented by the CMD of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Prof. Emem Bassey, said “according to the World Health Organisation, non-communicable diseases (NCDS) are collectively responsible for 74 per cent of all deaths worldwide and annually, 15 million people worldwide suffer stroke. Of these, five million die and another five million are left permanently disabled, placing a burden on family and community.”
He added: “The NeuroSurgical and Stroke Centre will in no small way alleviate the suffering of persons suffering from such ailments and the Federal Ministry of Health is committed to supporting continuous collaboration in the health sector and encourages other organisations and stakeholders to partner the government as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility to fill gaps in the health sector in the country.”
The minister noted that over the years, Nigeria had invested in significant health financing reforms to increase resources for health and extend high-quality primary health care services across the country.
NLNG Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Philip Mshelbila, represented by the General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Mr. Andy Odeh, said NLNG’s commitment to building a better health for communities in Nigeria through the hospital support programme was anchored on its belief that a healthy population was a reliable, strong and fortified block for building a better and sustainable society.
“This world-class facility being inaugurated today will, we believe, add to the well-being of Calabar and improve the city’s profile as a tourist destination,” he said.

The original impetus for Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music was to give a permanent home to the some 20,000 country music artifacts Marty Stuart has assembled over his career. If the show comes into full production, it will dovetail into what Marty Stuart is doing in his hometown.
Consisting of 30 total dates, including a couple in the UK and some previously-announced festival appearances, it gives Tyler Childers fans the greatest set opportunities to see him in the last three years. Though there are some big venues and amphitheaters on this tour, these are not arenas.
Luke Combs said it best while accepting the trophy for Entertainer of the Year Wednesday night (11-9) at the 2022 CMA Awards: “This is my fifth or sixth year being at this awards show, and country sounded more country than it has in a long time tonight.” In truth, the CMA Awards righting the ship goes back even further.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2022 installment of the notorious and explosive Saving Country Music CMA Awards LIVE blog. As the presentation transpires, snark, thoughts, pointed remarks, keen observations, and probably a few swear words and errant typos will be presented in real time.
It has been a bad string of luck for Brit Turner, who is the long time drummer of Southern rock titans Blackberry Smoke. But he’s on the mend after doctors recently found a brain tumor and had to conduct surgery, as Blackberry was forced to cancel a show and play another acoustically in his absence.
The country music community is mourning the loss of a titan, and a terribly influential member of its community as it has been confirmed that Jeff Cook, original founding member of famed Country Music Hall of Fame band Alabama, has died at the age of 73. The guitarist and fiddler died Monday, November 7th.
Recording her parts for Hellbound Glory’s song “You Better Hope You Die Young” got Tanya Tucker back in the studio, and back in the business. After Tanya Tucker won her two Grammy Awards in 2020, Shooter Jennings was interviewed backstage, and explained how it all went down.
If you can’t get enough of the country rock sound of bands like the Turnpike Troubadours, and also want your country music served up with a strong songwriting element, the new album from the Teague Brothers Band ‘Love and War’ will be right up your alley. There’s a reason Evan Felker made his return with them.
Many of the venues that once established Austin, Texas as the Live Music Capital of the World have been shuttered in recent years as the city deals with rapid growth and soaring real estate prices. But if the city and others have their way, the historic dancehall The Broken Spoke will not be one of those casualties.
The Saving Country Music Top 25 Playlist is built to keep you informed on all the best songs and albums coming out right here, right now in country and roots music. It’s available on most all streaming formats, or you can just use the song, artist, and album recommendations.
Every performance at Red Rocks is exceptional. But Zach Bryan’s stop on Thursday, November 3rd was extra noteworthy for a host of reasons. Many can say they’ve seen Zach Bryan live. Few can say they’ve seen him in the snow, at Red Rocks.
For the last couple of years I’ve been noticing it. And if you’re a fan of Garth Brooks or just a general fan of country music, you may have noticed it too. There are an inordinate amount of people in the comments sections of anything having to do with Garth Brooks asking, “Where are the bodies Garth?”
The limited series ‘George & Tammy: The Rise and Fall of Country Music’s King and Queen’ about the life and marriage of country legends Tammy Wynette and George Jones will premier on both Showtime and the Paramount Network. Starring Jessica Chastain as Tammy, and Michael Shannon as George.

The Montréal Canadiens have been one of the NHL’s most inconsistent teams in 2021. Seemingly, every time they come out with an impressive victory over a team like the Toronto Maple Leafs and the team and those around it begin to believe that the Habs can start stringing together real momentum, they follow it up with a humiliating loss or by letting a game get away from them.
Although they still have a very realistic chance of making the playoffs, it’s difficult to say whether they can be confident in their ability to control their playoff destiny.
The Canadiens have had immense trouble stringing together consecutive victories, which under ordinary circumstances wouldn’t necessarily be as big a problem as it is this season. The special circumstances of this COVID-19 shortened season means that each game has much more meaning. Each game is against a divisional opponent, meaning that any ground lost or inability to maintain consistency is a golden opportunity for another team to swipe the last playoff spot from the Habs.
In fact, it’s the fact that they haven’t put together enough win streaks in comparison to other teams in the North division that they’ll have trouble holding their own playoff fate in their hands. Each of the teams ahead of them in the standings has multiple three-game winning streaks; the Toronto Maple Leafs have two three-game win streaks and two four-game winning streaks, and the Winnipeg Jets have one four-game streak and two three-game streaks. Even teams that are widely believed to be out of the race have managed to string together multiple win streaks – the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames both have at least one three-game streak and the Canucks have two four-game streaks as well.
Montréal, on the other hand, has exactly one three-game winning streak this season, the same number as the Ottawa Senators, the league’s 28th-place team and a team many people had predicted would finish near the bottom of the league from the start.
Games in Hand
The team that should scare Montréal the most in their push for the playoffs is the Flames. Only four points behind the Habs in the North Division standings, the Canadiens’ next three contests are against the Flames, a team that they have failed to perform consistently against. They’ve already lost the first of the three contests and there’s a very real possibility that Montréal could lose the remaining two games against the Flames, which would make the one game in hand Montréal has on the Flames their only saving grace.
Not only the Flames, but the Vancouver Canucks should also give the Habs some uncertainty. The Canucks, due to their COVID pause of the last few weeks, now have five games in hand on the Canadiens, and are set to play the Ottawa Senators in three straight games. Even though the Canucks were depleted by the COVID outbreak which saw 21 players and four staff members test positive, Vancouver remains in a prime position to start a hot streak (from “21 Vancouver Canucks Players, 4 Staff Have Tested Positive for COVID-19” Katya Slepian, Aldergrove Star, 07/04/2021).
Given how the Canadiens have performed over the course of the season, it’s not unreasonable to think that Vancouver could surpass them. Although currently 10 points behind the Canadiens, the Canucks could potentially serve the Habs a devastating blow should they turn in excellent performances this week.
Although the Canadiens remain in a good place and are largely a lock to make the playoffs this season (four points with two weeks left should be enough for this Habs team – they’ll have a few more wins left) the possibility remains that they fall out of a playoff spot near the very end of the season if things go a certain, albeit very specific way. They’re still in the driver’s seat, but they don’t necessarily have both hands on the wheel.

The Jives put on a high-energy show of original songs inspired by the great "jump blues" artists of the late ‘40s and early ‘50s like Louis Jordan and wild swing masters like Cab Calloway.

So, combine the generous man and with the exceptional guitar player and you’ll smile to yourself as you sit there catch one of Carson’s sets. You’ll smile because something will resonate with you. Something familiar and warm, for you see, when you do catch Carson playing, you temporarily become part of the Carson Downey Family. It’s a big family, that’s full of love and passion fueled by music and energy. And you want some of that, don’t you? Sure, there are only 3 guys on stage, but Carson comes from a very big family of 5 brothers and 4 sisters, so he’s used to sharing and giving, probably more so then others. Thankfully for those of us on the receiving end of his many talents, the pay-off for catching one of Carson’s sets is well worth the effort.
The New Orleans blues & Cajun sensation. Leyla McCalla’s new album “A Day For The Hunter, A Day For The Prey” takes its title from a book of the same name that the singer and cellist read while pregnant with her first daughter. Taking its title in turn from a Haitian proverb, the book analyzes the intersection of politics, power and music in Haiti. McCalla, a former member of The Carolina Chocolate Drops, who now calls New Orleans home, was struck by how political crisis can create a scene for music to be born. Through deeply felt originals and interpretations of traditional songs from Creole, Cajun, Haitian, American folk and jazz canons, the album depicts a diverse American experience and Leyla’s struggles with and acceptance of her own identity. “A Day For The Hunter, A Day For The Prey” includes guests Rhiannon Giddens (a bandmate in the Carolina Chocolate Drops), guitarist Marc Ribot, fiddler Louis Michot of Lost Bayou Ramblers and more. The work of Ella Jenkins, Manno Charlemagne, Abner Jay, creole fiddlers Canray Fontenot and Bebe Carriere have all been interpreted here by Leyla and her band, whose members include her husband, Daniel Tremblay, and Free Feral. They are joined by Jason Jurzak on bass and sousaphone. The album was recorded at Dockside Studios in Maurice, LA. Leyla will tour this spring and summer and perform at The Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans and Festival International de Louisiane in Lafayette. She is also a part of the Swimming In Dark Waters tour featuring Rhiannon Giddens and Bhi Bhiman that is currently on the road. In a rave for Leyla's 2013 solo debut, the New York Times said: "Her voice is disarmingly natural, and her settings are elegantly succinct...her magnificently transparent music holds
tidings of family, memory, solitude and the inexorability of time: weighty thoughts handled with the lightest touch imaginable." Says Pitchfork, “Her playing suggests a perpetual spring…her voice is a velvety purr that’s both wise and bright.”

Following up on the success of their self-titled album from 2014, the Paul DesLauriers Band returns with the aptly titled “Relentless”, a genuine blues-rock escapade featuring 10 new songs encompassing their most original and powerful work to date. Relentless indeed if you consider the pace at which the band has been working for the last two years with touring, writing and recording. The awards they keep racking up only confirm that hard work pays off. Adding to their multiple Maple Blues and Lys Blues awards and nominations they had a number one album on the iTunes Canada Blues Chart and in January 2016 they took home 2nd Place among 119 competing bands from around the world at the 32nd annual International Blues Challenge, held by the Blues Foundation in Memphis. Hot on the heels of that win they returned to Montreal to complete writing and recording Relentless and the result captures the very essence of The Paul DesLauriers Band.
A true collaborative effort on every front, singer-guitarist Paul DesLauriers, bassist Greg Morency and drummer Sam Harrisson approached this recording the same way they have in the past, three men playing together in the same room, capturing performances live off the floor; and this time they applied that philosophy to the whole creative process, writing and arranging all the music together from the ground up. Lyrics were penned by DesLauriers and long-time collaborator Alec McElcheran. Each member a virtuoso in his own right, what sets this power trio apart is their chemistry and uncanny musical interaction. Through the driving riffs on “Stewtro Rock (Just Got Back)” and “Ten Feet Tall”, the swampy grooves of “I’m Your Man” and “Still Under My Skin” and the heavy blues of “If I Still Had You”, you sense the power, the intention and most of all the unique sound these three have created. Heaviness is interspersed with funk, fun and cheeky double-entendre in tracks like “Gonna Make You Move (Part 1)” and “We Just Might”, the complexities of relationships and a life of chasing the muse are discussed candidly in numbers such as “Wipes Away Your Sin” and “Up In The Air”. Through every track, the personalities shine through, but what is most striking is the unity and the maturity radiating from this trio at the top of their game.
If the last album, 2014’s award-winning self-titled release, solidified the band’s stance in the Canadian blues scene, this album as well as their remarkable achievements over the last two years cements their position as one of the top Canadian blues-rock acts and will maximize their influence on the international stage.
Rounding out the night is Ottawa-based band MonkeyJunk with a bluesy blend of swampy roots-rock. Each an established musician in his own right, the MonkeyJunk trio has won a collective 20 Maple Blues Awards, two Canadian Independent Music Awards, a Blues Music Award (USA), a Juno, and a passionate following of fans designated “MonkeyJunkies”.
This show will have audiences stompin’ and howlin’ for more.

BIG SCANDAL IN CHINA!
Western Walmart haters are trying to gin up the Chinese people to hate Walmart as much as they do.
It seems that a test of some donkey meat revealed that it had some fox meat ground into it.
Social media in China LIT UP with comments such as these –
“Isn’t fox meat more expensive than donkey meat anyway?”
Reuters was forced to admit that consumers on the popular microblogging site Sina Weibo were at a loss whether to criticize Wal-Mart or support it.
I don’t think a country that brushes their teeth with lead is all that concerned that their Eeyore burger had traces of fox in it. If it can crawl, fly, walk, slither or swim, the Chinese eat it.
They’ll have to stick to trying to get the Chinese to hate Walmart because some Walmart employees have to work on holidays and stock boys can’t raise a family on their paycheck.


General Motors and Unifor, the union representing almost 3,900 GM workers, reached a tentative collective agreement early this morning. While the immediate impact is avoiding a work disruption for all parties involved, the deal will also have lasting effects on the Canadian auto industry. Included in the new deal are investments and product commitments to GM's Oshawa, Ontario plant, and new production at the St. Catharines engine and transmission plant. Prior to this agreement, the future of the Oshawa plant had been in question for a number of years.
While the agreement does confirm the life of the Oshawa plant for the near future (a key component of Unifor's demands), one of their lines will close. That is the line building the Chevrolet Equinox. Unifor President Jerry Dias told reporters that the plant's other line will receive "hundreds of millions" in investments, and added that the plant is the only one in North America with the ability to produce both cars and trucks. In addition, some as-yet unspecified engine production will be moving from Mexico to the St. Catharines plant.
The new collective agreement also provides a wage increase, signing bonus, and lump-sum payments to employees. Approximately 700 temporary workers will be given full-time status as well.
The deal is not yet finalized, as both sides need to clean up a few details. If the deal is ratified, a version of the same will be taken to negotiations with Ford and Fiat Chrysler. Which of the two companies will be next should be chosen today, according to Dias.

By Grant Playter | Staff Writer
For anyone looking to decide who to play and who to bench for this week in fantasy, you need look no further. We’ll take ten players, who could go either way and offer whether you should play or bench them. Let the writers here at The Capital Sports Report make the tough decisions for you. And hey, if it doesn’t work out, don’t blame us.
The Jets have, to everyone, including themselves, been having a very good season. Well, 3-2 isn’t necessarily very good, but by Jets standards, it’s pretty solid. The Jets are going to be having a divisional match-up against the Patriots, which are usually high intensity games, and the Patriots are not one of, but the worst defense in the league. While they performed serviceable against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, that’s not enough for me to believe they’ve turned it around.
What makes Elijah McGuire specifically appealing among options on the Jets is his availability. McGuire isn’t the Jets favorite running back, that would be either Matt Forte or Bilal Powell. But Forte’s turf toe has taken him out for several weeks now, and Powell is struggling with a calf injury. Even if Powell does play, McGuire is going to get a lot of touches against a weak defense. He’s likely available on the free agency, so stream him this week and START Elijah McGuire.
Mack was a big pick-up off the waivers this week after a solid outing, one where he outperformed veteran running back Frank Gore. Gore is someone known for his relatively high floor, but Mack has started to see increased target share and the question of whether their phasing out the veteran running back in favor of the younger player. I personally picked up Mack this week, because I like what I’ve seen from him and I think he’ll outpace Gore by the end of the season.
Having said that, I don’t think it’s going to happen instantly. Right now, Gore is the Colts go-to-guy, and while Mack had a big game, Gore is a good running back. There will be a point, where Mack will eclipse Gore, and we saw hints of that in Week 5, but I don’t think it’s going to happen as quickly as some people think. I want to hold off another week before risking the start, so we can see how the workload changes, and for that reason I advocate that you SIT Marlon Mack.
Tight ends have been a mess this year, and Reed is one of the biggest disappointments in that regard. He was seen as someone with Top 5 potential heading into the season, but he’s been struggling with injuries and is far, far away from the numbers of a TE1. On the ESPN rankings of points scored for every tight end in the league, Reed nets a terrible 36th placement.
All that said, Reed was considered great for a reason, he has the talent when he’s not in for bits and pieces. Coming off a bye week, Reed seems to have made it past the injuries that have been plaguing him, so the upside is definitely — and finally there for him. There’s a good chance you can buy him cheap or even pick him up off of waivers considering his performance and Washington’s bye, so if for whatever reason you got your hands on him START Jordan Reed.
The offense of the New York Giants was utterly decimated last week. Dwayne Harris, Brandon Marshall, and most notably, Odell Beckham Jr. were taken out for the season due to their injuries. This week, Sterling Shepard will not be playing, among many other injuries to lesser known players, so the target share to Engram should be there. If they have no weapons and Engram is ready to play, he should be a good tight end play.
The major issue; however, is that the Giants are playing against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos have an elite defense, and a pass-catching tight end like Engram is likely to passed over for a greater ground game. And while this means good things for Wayne Gallman, Shane Vereen, and Orleans Darkwa, I don’t think it will materialize for Engram. On top of that, Engram for reasons unbeknownst to Giants fans only received four targets in the loss to the Chargers, netting a goose egg for the week. The offense for the Giants is a mess, and with the tough match-up, I can’t advocate starting him, so SIT Evan Engram.
- Pittsburgh Steelers D/ST
The Steelers have the third-ranked defense in the league, but this is not the week you should be utilizing them. Defenses always have a big match-up component, and playing against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs is not a good match-up for the Steelers defense. Between Alex Smith, Kareem Hunt, and Travis Kelce, who may not play after suffering a concussion last Sunday against the Houston Texans, I think the Steelers are going to be taking a beating, so SIT the Steelers D/ST.
- Atlanta Falcons D/ST
The Falcons are much more well-known for their elite offense compared to their mediocre defense, but like I said in the Steelers section, match-ups play a pivotal role. The Miami Dolphins have not been effectively using their weapons, and Jay Cutler doesn’t exactly have a great record when it comes to throwing picks. I like Falcons overwhelmingly in this match-up, and I like their defense just as much, so START the Falcons D/ST.
I don’t like to write about the same player in a similar capacity two weeks in a row, but I’m willing to make an exception for Will Fuller because of extenuating circumstances. After receiving two touchdowns with a mediocre amount of volume, I advised against starting Will Fuller last week. He proceeded to one-up himself, receiving two touchdowns with only three targets. The question regarding Will Fuller is whether, after DeAndre Hopkins, is he Deshaun Watson’s favorite end zone target?
I want to inject some sanity into this conversation. Yes, Fuller has flex value in the sense that he has a higher likelihood of scoring touchdowns than a wide receiver of his caliber. Yes, it is not an accident that he got those touchdowns. No, you should not expect this trend to continue. Fuller is the epitome of boom-or-bust, and unless you need a Hail Mary, banking on him scoring even one more touchdown this week is a gamble you should not be taking. I said it last week and was wrong, but I’ll say it again: SIT Will Fuller.
If you want to go with a safer boom-or-bust option, as little sense as those two phrases combined may make, Taylor Gabriel is a good bet. The Falcons will be playing against the Miami Dolphins, who are…not playing well, to put it lightly. It honestly surprises me that they’re even 2-2, but against an elite Falcons offense, I don’t expect them to make it even better. Especially after a bye week, which gave the players time to rest and prepare specifically for this match-up.
That’s why I feel better about Gabriel as a flex play. Gabriel gets good target share, and while his floor is rather low, that target share does in part come into play at the end zone. I think he’s much more likely than most wide receivers of his caliber to get that opportunity, and he’ll be playing with an elite offense against a week defense. If he is gonna boom, this is the type of match-up where it will happen, so START Taylor Gabriel.
Once again, I chose poorly regarding which quarterback would reign supreme last week, and I don’t think I’ll be advocating for Eli Manning anytime soon. Or I will, because I’m hopeless, but at the very least it won’t be this week. This week I want to talk about the Saints vs. Lions game, and which team I like more.
Drew Brees is one of those quarterbacks who is considered a must-start, he’s that elite level of quarterback. He has a lot of solid weapons on his offense, such as Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara, and Michael Thomas, all of whom will be in peak condition following a bye week. Brees is positioned to go hard this game, and it should be easy points.
Having said that, I think it’s more of an interesting match-up than on the surface. The Lions have one of the best defenses in the league, second only to the Jaguars, and if any team is going to stop Brees after a bye week, it’ll be them. If the defense continues to perform like it has, than Brees may throw some interceptions, give the possession to the Lions, and ultimately get outshined by Stafford. It’s basically a question if you think an elite offense can beat an elite defense, the unstoppable force vs. the immovable wall.
But while I think this is a question more people should be considering, especially given Brees mediocre season up until this point, the phrase “start your studs” is around for a reason. It probably sounds like common sense, but for anyone else who likes to overthink these things as much as I do, you should START Drew Brees and SIT Matthew Stafford. Defense may win Super Bowls, but I don’t think it will win this match-up.

Dragon Quest XI is coming to the Nintendo Switch with even more new features and story. Here’s everything we know so far!
Dragon Quest XI is widely regarded as one of the best Dragon Quest games out there, and given the franchise’s past friendliness with Nintendo systems, it only makes sense that it would finally make it to the Nintendo Switch. Better still, the game will launch as Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition, which will include all the content from the original Dragon Quest XI plus even more goodies exclusive to the system, making it worth the wait if you haven’t explored the world of Erdrea just yet.
Here’s everything we know so far about what you can expect in Dragon Quest XI S:
What is the story of Dragon Quest XI?
Dragon Quest XI centers around an unnamed protagonist who is destined to become the Luminary, a legendary hero who will save the world of Erdrea from darkness. However, an attack that occurs while the Luminary is an infant causes him to be separated from his birth family and instead raised in a small village, not knowing his true identity. As a young adult, that identity is revealed early in the game, but the Luminary is instead accused of being something called the Darkspawn – a prophesized evil that will destroy Erdrea instead of saving it. The Luminary must then gather companions who recognize who he truly is, and fulfill his destiny despite the forces pitted against him.
How do you play?
If you’ve never touched a Dragon Quest game before, you’ll find it similar to most other JRPGs. You’ll explore towns and dungeons connected by a larger overworld, talk to various NPCs to receive quests and information, and enter battles with monsters when in dungeons or on the overworld. There are no random encounters in Dragon Quest XI – rather, you enter battles by coming into contact with visible enemies. The battles are turn-based, with four party members at a time fighting for you by using attacks, magic, and items to defeat enemies and keep your own party alive. Don’t worry if you don’t like the slower-paced battles, though. You can manually adjust the battle speed to zoom right through encounters.
Defeating enemies not only levels up your party, but also gets you skill points that can be used to improve character’s stats and abilities using a skill tree that offers some degree of player choice in how they progress.
What’s new in Dragon Quest XI S?
Dragon Quest XI is already out on other systems, but the version coming to the Nintendo Switch has a ton of features not available anywhere else. For starters, there will be new music in the game – fully orchestrated, though you can switch between the new improved sound and the original tracks at will. In addition, you can swap between English and Japanese audio for character dialogue.
If you’ve played Dragon Quest XI before, an important addition in this version is the inclusion of more storylines, with one major quest for each of the characters in your party. These storylines will reveal more about the characters they are centered around, fleshing them out further.
One final major new feature that will be fun for retro fans is the ability to swap between the game’s normal, 3D HD graphics and old-school 16-bit graphics reminiscent of the original Dragon Quest games
When can I play?
Dragon Quest XI S is planned for release on the Nintendo Switch sometime in the Fall of 2019. It will cost $59.99.
