Cotterill keen to play down Mansfield game
Cheltenham Town manager Steve Cotterill is keen to play down the significance of Tuesday's third division match at Mansfield Town despite both clubs being involved in a neck and neck battle for promotion to Division Two.
Third placed Cheltenham and fourth placed Mansfield go head to head at Field Mill but Cotterill is at pains to point out that the only thing at stake will be three points.
"There is always a lot talked about games like this, particularly in the media," said Cotterill.
"But the fact is that there are no more points at stake when we play Mansfield than in any other game of the season.
"Mansfield have had a very good season, as we have, and we are very much looking forward to the game. Hopefully it will be as entertaining as the match at Whaddon Road earlier in the season."
On that occasion Mansfield raced into a 2-0 lead that Cheltenham pulled back to 2-2 only to lose to a last minute goal. That defeat remains Cheltenham's only reversal at home this season.
Cheltenham will also be keen to bounce back to winning ways after their 1-0 defeat at Macclesfield Town on Saturday.
"I said on Saturday that we never got going and that was the case," said Cotterill.
"At this stage of the season with the games coming thick and fast it is a tall order to expect a team to win every one.
"But we will prepare as well as we can and the players will work as hard as they can. They have been tremendous for nine or ten months of the season and now we are down to the last few weeks."
Cotterill has been forced to change the team due to injuries in recent games and will have a further headache tomorrow as leading scorer Julian Alsop starts a two match suspension.
"I said a couple of weeks ago that the last few games might be a test of our squad strength and that has been the case," he said.
"We had to make changes for the Easter period and the players that came in did a good job. Hopefully that will continue if and when we have to make more changes.
"We will assess the injury situation before the game to see which players are fit and which are not. One or two have been carrying knocks so we will see how they are."
Cotterill also had a word for the club's travelling supporters and highlighted the important role they might have to play.
"I am sure there will be a good crowd at the game so we need our fans to be vocal for us," he said.
"They have a big part to play in determining how we fare in the remaining games this season."

On her own, Anna Lewandowska is already badass enough. She's a multiple karate medalist on both national and international levels, a nutrition specialist and fitness expert, author, CEO, and mother. On top of that, she's married to Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski – also a badass in his own right!
Anna's achievements are certainly impressive. We thought to put her story in one place and thus, this feature was born! So let's find out more about Anna Lewandowska.
Who is Anna Lewandowska?
Anna Lewandowska (nee Stachurska) was born on September 7, 1988 (currently 30 years old at the time of this writing) in Łódź, Poland. When she was just 10 years old, she began her training in karate. According to her blog, she began to love it and training soon became a part of her everyday life. The sport became so ingrained in her life, in fact, that she attended the Academy of Physical Education in Warsaw for her studies in Physical Education. Currently, she is a holder of 2 Master's degrees.
After graduating in 2012, Anna went on to become a member of the Pruszkow Karate Club. Fakt24 reported that she won her first medial in 2008 and continued to bag many more over the course of her karate career. In total, she has 38 medals across the Polish, European, and World Championships. That is a lot of medals for one person to have.
Entrepreneurial Ventures
Though she was able to balance her karate and other endeavors for a while, she did eventually give up her karate career to focus on her other entrepreneurial ventures. At this point, she was a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist. In 2010, she established "Healthy Plan by Ann", a health and fitness blog that provides diet and exercise programs, recipes, and tips to stay healthy. Now, the blog has manifested into a full-blown mobile application!
Under the Healthy Plan by Ann (HPBA) name, she has a whole team of licensed trainers, nutritionists, and specialists to help those around the world who are looking to get themselves fit and in shape. Check out the team here!
Apart from that, she has authored 4 books, one of which was also published in the German market. She has also released 4 different workout DVDs, with one of them focusing on how pregnant moms can remain fit and healthy.
Anna's last – but certainly not least – accomplishment is her being the President of the Special Olympics Poland. Both she and her husband actively organize and support training and sports initiatives for people with intellectual disabilities.
More about the HPBA
Branching out from HPBA, Anna has also established several other venues in line with the fitness and nutrition industry. These include Diet & Training by Ann, Foods by Ann, Baby by Ann, and Healthy Center by Ann.
Diet & Training by Ann is the official name of the mobile application that's available on both Android and iOS platforms. The monthly subscription plan is set at around $20 a month, which isn't a steep price for a healthy mind and body.
Foods by Ann started in 2015 answers what she found was a gap in healthy diet foods in the Polish market. According to an interview with Business Insider, this started when her husband Robert would bring the meals she prepared for him to his games and training. Pretty soon, his teammates were asking for some, too! All their food products have no added sugar and are both gluten- and lactose-free.
Baby by Ann started sometimes in 2018, in partnership with Anna's good friend, Ewa. Both are new mothers and thought that mothers needed one brand that would answer all the pressing questions and needs of mother's anywhere. Their products include clothes, cutlery, dinner sets, toys, and more! They also have a dedicated blog with multiple guest writers who give tips for raising young children.
Healthy Center by Ann is focused on both expectant and new mothers. They have special training programs designed by their coaches and trainers. If you check out their Instagram page, they have shots in their classes with mom's working out with their young babies! Pretty cool, if you ask me.
Family Life
Anna and Robert Lewandowski have been married for almost 6 years. It's not really known how exactly they met. What we do know, however, is that their relationship is coming up on 12 years as of 2019. They met and began dating in 2007 while they were both just 18 years old. Back then, Anna was just starting with her college education and Robert was with Znicz Pruszków, a football club based out of Pruszków, Poland.
5 years later in 2012, Anna was a household name in karate circles and a successful businesswoman, and Robert was playing for Bundesliga bigwig Borussia Dortmund. That was when Robert decided to propose. A year later. In June 2013, they tied the knot in Serock, a lake town north of Warsaw. Their pregnancy announcement came in December 2016, and little Klara Lewandowska was born in May 2017.
Robert now plays for Bayern Munich and is also the captain of the Polish national team. Anna continues to be a badass CEO across all of her ventures. Now that's a power couple if I ever saw one!
Now that you know all there is to know about Anna Lewandowska, you're probably just as impressed as we are. Check out more of her photos below! If you want to learn about more beautiful and successful WAGs, check out our page on Athlete WAGs.

A Gemma Open Door book
When you are eleven years old, is there anything more humiliating, or bound to cause a fight, than shopping with your mother when your body is in full-throttle warp? Yes, there is: picking out the school-required underwear. And worse: your mother's male co-worker shows up at the scene. And even worse: your brother wants to TALK about it at the dinner table.
Rites of passage are difficult for any young girl, and Jun-li Lin is no exception. The grown-ups in her life are completely unpredictable and probably out of control. She knows it will take detective work to figure out her family's secrets and the reasons for their erratic actions. It's up to her to find a way to bring the family together before everyone drifts apart.
Training to be an adult, Jun-li discovers, is hard work.

LEAN Exchange – LPPDE Conference
Just attended the LPPDE conference as a speaker and as an attendee in San Jose. It was a great conference and I want to highlight some take a ways:
Jose Pires talked about the importance of hiring the right people into your organization – how you should look for people who can inspire and provide passion. You need to hire self-motivated individuals and I love his model of showing self-motivated with modern smiles – take a look and you will even start to smiling just by looking at it:
Jose Pires also talked about that you can't brainstorm you out of a problem – the solution is to look at the problem from a different perspective. I can only agree with Jose Pires and I can reflect this on how I solve my tasks. I had experience challenges where I needed to communicate a new definitions of new processes (I needed to be clear that the organization understood to use the right process and therefore we need to update the definitions). In this case I used duct tape and made a sub-way map – a red and a green line which both ended with their definition of the process. I solved the communications problem my looking at it from a different perspective or you can say I looked outside the box.
Communication is a big piece of the puzzle or the secret sauce as many also refer it too. What is the most efficient way to communicate when you have team in different locations, how do you maintain and share core knowledge. We all have a need to adapting to a virtual world where we have cross functional engagement throughout the teams. The key speakers presented different tools from simple google sheet to advanced video conference meeting with virtual LEAN/agile boards.
Jim Euchner from Goodyear address that there are two types of innovation:
Innovation is a learning process where the importance is to perform experiment – Jim shared different examples of experiments which failed and this was so trustful to see an big organization sharing the 'dark' side of innovation. Normally you will always share the success stories and I know from my experience that you have initiatives or projects that are 'up hill' and you are really 'pushing' the car up hill and sometime you give up and start on a new project. The take away from Jim Euchner was sharing concepts with customers also the ones that might not work and if possible also do experiments with technology partners (be sure to include Legal,IP, Sales, marketing and procurement before you start running wit it).

Recommended for sure!
Its the safest bike of all. I have three kids and recently bought the Denovo for the youngest one. My husband's a mechanic, so I got the confidence from his. He was so sure this was the bike he wanted for our son. My son loved the frame, the body had a really amazing colour combination and superb textures. We finally have an all-rounder bike!
Classy parts, cool body
The bike is one of its kind. Its super efficient and my son, who is a bike enthusiast at this age, was all keen on buying it. Referred the bike to a few friends to make a tech-check, and the results were more than satisfactory indeed. The Denovo seems very comfortable and super-functional. It looks cool and the colour is very impressive. Its a win-win situation.
Crafty and rock-solid
My son met an accident on his previous bike and had the fear keep him off those since a couple of months. I bought him the Denovo as a present. He was very pleased and once he was on it, the fear was gone, whoosh! He loves it. Very safe for kids and has some of the most awesome textures as a collection. I would recommend it.

[Episcopal News Service – St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands] A year after two devastating hurricanes swept through the Virgin Islands, building materials and skilled-labor shortages have delayed recovery. Blue tarpaulins covering damaged rooftops have frayed under the hot sun, with each threat of rain increasing Virgin Islanders' anxiety, particularly as the Atlantic hurricane season reaches its peak.
"This time of year, many people are very anxious," said Virgin Islands Bishop E. Ambrose Gumbs, in a Sept. 7 interview with Episcopal News Service at his office. "These tarps are brittle, and the wind just rips them to shreds."
Across the islands, the story is the same: a lack of supplies and craftspeople, and delayed insurance claims, have frayed peoples' nerves. Thursday, Aug. 30, brought rain that forced some to take shelter in their vehicles as the water came through the tarps on their roofs.
A person cannot simply go to a hardware store and purchase windows, doors or galvanized roofing panels; materials must be ordered on the mainland, and cargo ships transporting materials must first pass through Puerto Rico, where the need is just as great and the population much larger — 3.4 million compared to the Virgin Islands' 130,000. Worse yet, building materials can cost three to four times as much on the islands as in the continental United States.
Everyone has suffered, especially the elderly, many of whom lost their homes and were separated from family; some have died from illness and storm-related stress. Children are experiencing the same ailments as adults; high-blood pressure, diabetes and anxiety, said Gumbs.
"The new normal has not yet arrived," he said.
As the one-year anniversary of Irma came and went, three storms, all of which reached hurricane strength by Sept. 10, were forming in the Atlantic. Hurricanes come off West Africa's coast and either gain strength or dissipate as they work their way east across the Atlantic Ocean.
Last year, Hurricane Irma crossed the Virgin Islands as a Category 5 storm on Sept. 6, 2017, causing extensive damage. Two weeks later, on Sept. 20, Hurricane Maria passed over the islands as a Category 5 storm before making landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 4 hurricane. The two hurricanes led to thousands of deaths and more than $102 billion in damages. Damage to church-owned properties is $7 million, according to Church Insurance, which insures church buildings.
"Irma came and left us with something to think about, and Maria came in and finished the job," said Rita Payne-Samuel, Episcopal Church Women president at Nazareth-by-the Sea Episcopal Church on St. Thomas.
Still, the hurricanes reinforced what it means to be church, which goes beyond the buildings.
"That's the human part of church and fellowship," Payne-Samuel said. "People just got together and helped each other."
Nazareth-by-the-Sea meets in a strip mall storefront since Irma destroyed its building, she said. It is without a priest, and like Holy Cross is served by Gumbs, making it difficult for the bishop to make regular pastoral visits to the diocese's other congregations.
Pastoral support is one thing the wider Episcopal Church could offer the Diocese of the Virgin Islands in the short-term, the bishop said.
"We need our brethren to stand in the gap with us, send some clergy down," said Gumbs. "They [his clergy] are battle weary from the hurricanes."
The Diocese of the Virgin Islands consists of 14 congregations spread over five islands; three – St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix – under U.S. jurisdiction, and two – Tortola and Virgin Gorda – under British rule. Residents living in the U.S. Virgin Islands are U.S. citizens; residents of the Virgin Islands are British Overseas Territories citizens.
Ferries, planes and sea planes shuttle passengers around the islands, which were discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and named for St. Ursula and her 11,000 virgins.
The one Episcopal Church on St. John is named for St. Ursula. Since the storm, it has served as the island's only senior citizen center, where at least 70 seniors gather Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the church's basement for meals and activities.
Back on St. Thomas, in Sugar Estate, a densely populated, diverse community served by St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, housing is scarce and residents, many of whom worked in the hard-hit tourism industry, are working two and three part-time jobs to make ends meet, said the Rev. Lenroy K. Cabey, the 700-member church's rector.
Cabey has witnessed an increase in demand for social services, as well as food. St. Andrew's hopes to have its soup kitchen back up and running by the end of September, he said.
Riise Richards, the diocese's volunteer coordinator and an Episcopal representative on the Virgin Islands' Long-Term Recovery Group, also has witnessed increased need.
"A lot of people are suffering and suffering in silence," said Richards. "We asked people what they need and there was hesitance."
The people's hesitance, Richards and others across the islands agreed, comes from the shame of needing to admit they need help. Still, help is what they need and since the storm, Richards has been working to retrofit some churches and diocesan property to accommodate volunteers who can assist the diocese in its estimated three- to- five-year recovery.
"There were a lot of homes completely destroyed and a lot of people who still have tarps … mold, homes that still need to be gutted, and we need family also," she said. "The church is the people."
"We are here to serve; we are the body of Christ," she said. "And we are here to ensure that people can get their lives back together."
At Holy Spirit, which sits on hill in Estate Hope, on the Western End of St. Thomas, part of the church has been converted into dormitories to house volunteers. Last week, nine AmeriCorps service volunteers were staying in the dorms and working to remove debris, building a deck at the back of the church and working in warehouses to sort and catalogue donations.
Gumbs, who wants the church "to be a safe place," gave the mandate to ready the churches to house volunteers who can assist with the long-term recovery efforts, said Richards. Both Holy Spirit and Domini House, which is across the street from All Saints Cathedral, can house volunteers.
In the hurricanes' aftermath, Episcopal Relief & Development and the Diocese of Alabama, a companion diocese, have funded the churches' outreach ministries through mini grants. Both are committed to the Virgin Islands' long-term recovery, and Alabama is anxious to send volunteers.
Episcopal Relief & Development has provided financial assistance through churches and schools to support ongoing outreach ministries that are engaged in recovery and preparedness, including helping to repair and harden shelters, providing case management and direct assistance to people impacted, compiling preparedness kits for this upcoming hurricane season, supporting community gardening, and sheltering.
"The people in the Virgin Islands continue to face enormous challenges a year after the devastating hurricanes. We are proud to remain a partner in the ongoing recovery," said Abagail Nelson, Episcopal Relief & Development's senior vice president for programs.
St. Luke's, which sits atop a hill on St. Thomas, suffered only minor damage during the hurricanes, and now is a government-appointed point of distribution and a designated shelter in the event of another disaster. Barrels of supplies, including clothing, nonperishable food items and water, diapers and other infant necessities and toiletries have been shipped in large blue plastic barrels from as far away as Bronx, New York, where Virgin Islanders have family and civic connections.
To one degree or another all of the diocese's churches suffered some damage. On St. Croix, San Francisco, a mission church with the diocese's only Spanish-speaking congregation has to be razed. St. Mary's on Virgin Gorda lost its windows; the pavilion, which overlooks the sea and was used to host community cultural events, is destroyed; the rectory is in disrepair. On Tortola, St. Paul's suffered damage, and an income-generating apartment gifted to the church by a parishioner needs to be gutted. At St. Ursula's, on St. John, the bell tower fell to the ground, windows are boarded up and a blue tarp protects the roof. As with residences, structural recovery is slow.
The church properties are insured by Church Insurance, which falls under the umbrella of the Church Pension Group.
"There were some initial challenges getting to the Virgin Islands as there were limited flights and available accommodations after the hurricane," said C.

EastEnders killed off Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell in dramatic fashion last night (January 1) after months of speculation.
The Mitchell sisters' deaths had been the talk of soapland for months, though details remained under wraps until the episode.
We finally found out during the New Year's Day special that the pair sadly lost their lives in a horror swimming pool accident.
However, the decision to write the popular characters out wasn't without controversy, and we want to know - did YOU think it was the right call for Ronnie and Roxy to meet the Grim Reaper? Have your say in our poll below:
Fans previously told Digital Spy that bosses should have kept the popular sisters in the show, with 59% of you hoping they'd have a future return. But have the duo's final scenes changed your minds?
Following the broadcast yesterday, actress Samantha Womack tweeted her sadness to be leaving the soap.
"I'm sorry I can't respond to any comments..I'm honestly broken," she wrote. "An appropriate end to the darkest year ever."
Roxy actress Rita Simons tweeted: "Thank you all for your lovely tweets. I don't really have words right now. But words will come.. in good time #R&R."
The pair have played the two sisters since July 2007, and were written out after the arrival of new executive producer Sean O'Connor.
Womack previously suggested that she was not very happy at the decision to kill off her character, and even retweeted Dame Barbara Windsor's comments.
The Peggy Mitchell actress said that the new boss was making a mistake, writing: "It wasn't the girls' choice, it's the new producer's decision.
"I'm sure he'll be good for the show, but that is a mistake. When I heard, I was shocked."
EastEnders airs on BBC One.

By Maán Jalal
I was running late to the cinema. Always a stressful situation. Not only do I love trailers, but I've been waiting to watch Bohemian Rhapsody ever since rumours of the biopic's inception started circulating on the internet.
For a long time, Freddie Mercury has been a personal superhero of mine. From songs, music videos, documentaries, print and video interviews and any other snippets of information that have been accessible, I have consumed them all eagerly. And now, a film.
Everyone has been talking about Bohemian Rhapsody for the right or wrong reasons. From the start, the planned biopic, in true Freddie Mercury style, has had its share of drama. Comedian and performer Sacha Baron Cohen was confirmed in 2010 to be playing Mercury. They do look a lot alike, but I think that's where any connection between them should end.
Cohen, however, departed the project in 2013. Queen drummer, Roger Taylor stated that the band, who had the final say on the script, were not on the same wave length as Cohen's vision. Cohen, who spoke about his departure from the project on The Howard Stern Show, gave the impression that he wanted to focus on the darker side of Mercury's life while the band wanted to showcase Mercury within the legacy of Queen or a more watered-down version of the truth.
Guitarist Brian May responded by saying that, "Sacha became an a***. We had some nice times with Sacha kicking around ideas, but he went off and told untruths about what happened."
The show carried on and Rami Malek was cast as Freddie Mercury. I'm going to keep it simple people. The movie was brilliant. Malek was superb. He literally transformed into Mercury. It was a nuanced performance that deserves an Oscar win.
There has been some backlash from critics though. They pointed out historical inaccuracies about how some of the songs were created. Some other details have also been put under the microscope. Critics have been particularly harsh, blaming the script and direction for turning the film into a glitzy, glamourised version of what they think it should be. Who Mercury was and how he would have said certain lines or acted in certain situations also drew severe criticism.
I hardly ever read film reviews these days, especially when it comes to biopics (like Mercury's). And I also think that everyone who is thinking about going to watch this film should ignore the negative reviews. Why? Two reasons.
First, I don't adhere to this idea that a perfect film exists. No piece of art is without its faults and if I had to criticise Bohemian Rhapsody, I would say that there were one or two moments where events were crammed together, creating exposition. However, this doesn't take away from the film at all.
Second, I couldn't care less that historical facts were inaccurate or that Malek's Mercury didn't say this or that in the specific way the real Mercury would have said it. When I go to watch a film based on a book or based on someone's life, I never expect to get an accurate retelling. A movie is its own beast, which has specific rules and guidelines it needs to follow in order to exist in a way that makes sense for an audience. It's that simple.
When we enter a movie theatre, or experience any form of art, we should always expect truth wrapped in fiction. This isn't a revolutionary idea. And I think when we talk about someone like Mercury we must expect fiction connected to his life and legacy. Fiction, I believe, he created himself.
If you watch his performances, his interviews, if you listen to his voice, it's impossible not to notice how full of charming contrasts he was. Humble, kind, over the top, glamourous, simple, talented, troubled, insane, yet somehow full of common sense.
Like many great artists of his generation (the likes of which I don't think exist today), Mercury existed on several planes of reality. From his music videos, alter egos on stage and his vastly different musical personas on every album, to who he was to his family, friends, lovers –– can the real Freddie Mercury be depicted on film? No. Only facets of him that make up a version of the truth.
You'll not be satisfied if you watch Bohemian Rhapsody through a political or social lens. People, I'm afraid, are literally looking for a superhero to represent everything they think is lacking in society. It's unfair to pin all those hopes on a movie or on a person. In fact, it's immature.
You can call it marketing, an artistic vision, storytelling (or maybe naivety on my part) but I find it hard to believe that Freddie Mercury wanted the world to know him as he truly was. Yes, we saw glimpses of his essence in his music when he performed. But as a whole person, I don't think we are allowed, nor should we really know the man behind the curtain or who the superhero behind the mask really was.

Wow, how quickly time flies. Feels like only yesterday when I was sitting here bringing you my Top-60 dynasty league rookie rankings and awaiting the new season with excitement, optimism, and hope. Yet, here we are again looking to delve deep with our diving masks and oxygen tanks to dissect the new crop of fresh-faced hopefuls looking to be the next big thing.
It is no secret, to those of you who have read my previous work, how high I was on this draft class. Now that we know the the destinations that this crop will call home, we can delve deeper into expectations for each players' role with their new organizations. In the upcoming three weeks you will be privy to my Top-60 rookie rankings, but for now, let's look at some of the players who might have landed themselves into a new dream destination.
I am sure you have read enough articles over the past several weeks covering Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball. Here is my comparison piece from January: https://basketball.razzball.com/dynasty-deep-dive-the-college-bird-vs-bird. So, let us look at some of the less obvious names, whose long-term fantasy outlook received a nice boost after a dramatic draft night.
De'Aaron Fox, Point Guard, 5th overall pick by the Sacramento Kings:
It was probably the worst-kept secret in the months leading up to the draft that the Kings loved the speedy point guard out of Kentucky. It had been rumored that the Kings were willing to part ways with the 5th and 10th overall selections to move up to No. 3. As it turned out, they were able to get their man by standing pat. Fox immediately becomes the primary ball handler for a Kings team that will lose the services of Darren Collison, Ty Lawson, and Langston Galloway to free agency after July 1st. Fox will be able to offer dynasty league owners both immediate and future fantasy production. Already a media darling, he will bring plenty of speed and athleticism to the Kings and will create plenty of space on the wing for Buddy Hield (think of the effect John Wall has on Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr's perimeter play). Let us not also forget the 39-point masterclass he put up against Lonzo Ball and UCLA in the NCAA tourney, in which Fox described his performance as 'Kill mode all the time'. The biggest obstacle at the next level will be the development of his jump shot, but given the fact that he is a supreme athlete with an already elite speed tool, you could say I am all in on the 6′ 3″ Texas native.
Malik Monk, Shooting Guard, 11th Overall pick by the Charlotte Bobcats:
For those of you seasoned Dynasty Deep Dive veterans you will know the love I have had for Kentucky's Malik Monk the past 12 months. The landing spot only enhances that love. Taken 11th overall by the Bobcats this could, when all is said and done, be the bargain of the draft. For those of you that follow me on Twitter (@storytelling41) you would have seen my constantly evolving draft board and a landing spot to the Sacramento Kings at No. 10. This isn't because I think there are nine better prospects. Once Philly moved up to the 1st overall pick I didn't see a potential fit. As it turned out he fell further than that.
Malik Monk is one of the best shooters coming out of the draft, especially from downtown. The Bobcats will rely on his perimeter skills to raise their threat from deep (Bobcats shot 35% from downtown, good for only 18th in the league, despite taking the 9th-most attempts). Labelled by many as 'Just a scorer' I believe there is the potential to be a lot more than that. Monk is a wonderfully-gifted athlete, and given the level of his athleticism and his ability to handle the ball, I can see a similar career progression to that of all-star DeMar DeRozan (another player once labelled as nothing more than a scorer).
Monk has an excellent opportunity in Charlotte to carve out a 6th man role from the get-go, and immediately packs a punch that the Bobcats secondary unit has been yearning for some time.
Jarrett Allen, Center, 22nd overall pick by the Brooklyn Nets.
You would be forgiven for thinking that he was an extra from the film Semi- Pro, but Jarrett Allen is a player, who not only oozes potential, but also finds himself on a rebuilding team that just traded away their long-time starting center Brook Lopez. As a freshman, the 6′ 11″ Allen put up impressive numbers of 13.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game on 57% shooting for a disappointing Texas team in the Big East.
Possessing a 7′ 5″ wingspan, the former Longhorns combines this with good athleticism inside the paint to be a force rebounding, while making it difficult for opponents to score inside. He also has a nice feel around the basket on offense, with the potential to have a solid mid-range game as well. However, Allen is a liability at the charity stripe, shooting only 56% during his one year in the Big East. With a good work rate and the ability to play transition basketball, there are plenty of tools for Nets' fans to get excited about, especially after a string of questionable front office trades that robbed them of their future.
Allen is still somewhat raw, and although he played power forward in college, he is likely to transition to center in the NBA. It will take some time for the Austin native to get up to speed with the demands of the NBA, but given the landing spot, future opportunity awaits.
OG Anunoby, Small Forward, 23rd pick by the Toronto Raptors
After a season ending injury, which required surgery on the knee, it was believed that the talented Anunoby would return to Indiana for another season to prove his health. Therefore, it was surprising when he declared for the NBA draft, but his faith was rewarded when the Raptors selected him in the first round.
Anunoby is a small forward by trade and already possesses the kind of body capable of making an impact. Considered one of the best two-way prospects in the draft, Anunoby is an outstanding defender and has the potential to guard multiple positions on the court. The modern-day NBA will also allow for a man of his versatility to be effective in multiple positions on offense too, something that the Raptors have desired for a while.
If you like those "stuff and things kinda guys" (as my good buddies Bogman and the Welsh over at ITL would say) and you don't mind waiting on the health, then this is exactly the kind of player to take a flier on in your dynasty drafts.
That wraps it up for this week. Be sure to check out next week's post for the start to my Dynasty rookie rankings in it's usual, traditional fashion.

TLHRC Letter to President Obama in Advance of Dialogue with Gulf Cooperation Council
Commission Co-Chairs Jim McGovern and Joseph Pitts released a letter to President Barack Obama today signed by 43 additional members, expressing deep and continuing concern over the continued suppression of civil, political and religious rights within the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). As the President initiates meetings with high-ranking representatives of the GCC, the Members of Congress emphasized that sustainable solutions for the multiple challenges of the GCC region require the countries to respect fundamental human rights within their own borders. The Congressmen and women urged the President to use his strong relationships with the GCC leaders to encourage them to release all prisoners of conscience, end undue restrictions on the operation of civil society groups and religious minorities, reform laws that discriminate against women and facilitate the exploitation of migrant workers, and review and reform other laws and practices that have discriminatory consequences.
The full text of the letter can be found here.

Seems to "eat" batteries, strap gets in the way, but otherwise it is OK
A neat good radio but ? . The physical appearance and functionality is quite good . The selectivity is good and the ability for multi level brightness is excellent . The addition of the carrying strap however means when the aeriel is up so is the carrying strap . It cannot be folded behind the radio because of the length of the aeriel even when fully telescoped .
This is certainly a superb piece of kit but I have a couple of observations: 1) the display should have been larger for those of us who try to read it without our specs on; 2) it's a shame that the sleep timer has to be re-set every time you want this feature - it could have been fixed so that it retained its last setting. Having said all that it's still a great replacement for my Sony Cube.

Steve Jobs did a lot of things in his lifetime: He co-founded Apple, he helped create one of the first mass-market personal computers and introduced the world to the iPhone and iPad, among his many accomplishments.
One thing he rarely did: Sign autographs.
As a result, Steve Jobs' autograph is one of the most expensive in the world, worth nearly $51,000 or 40 iPhone Xs-es, according to an analysis from collectibles dealer Paul Fraser Collectibles. His autograph has skyrocketed in value since the year 2000, increasing 27.6 percent per year, thanks to his company's iconic status and his early death. Still, that pales in comparison to the astronomical rise in Apple stock over the last 17 years.
But Stephen Hawking could give him a run for his money. A book autographed in full by the famed theoretical physicist, who died in March, doubled in value over the past year and is now worth roughly $38,000.
"Jobs was a reluctant signer, always maintaining that Apple was a team effort," Daniel Wade, head writer at Paul Fraser Collectibles, said in the report. "Only a handful of genuine Stephen Hawking hand-signed books exist, mostly from the 1970s before Hawking's illness made it impossible for him to write. You're more likely to see Hawking's thumbprint signatures, which are generally far cheaper."
Other deceased individuals whose autographs are highly prized include actors James Dean, Bruce Lee and Marilyn Monroe.
As for the living, a photo featuring Paul McCartney's John Hancock is the most valuable, worth $3,751. His bandmate Ringo Starr also has one of the most expensive signatures from a living individual, as do Prince William, Prince Harry and J.K. Rowling.
Comparatively, a photo signed by President Donald Trump is worth roughly $830 — but its value has increased 15.3 percent in the past year.
The values of all of these autographed items pale in comparison to the most expensive signature ever: George Washington's signed copy of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, which sold for a record $9.8 million in 2012.
That item was purchased by the Mount Vernon Ladies Association of the Union, a non-profit that maintains the Mount Vernon estate in Virginia that was Washington's home.

Wow, 3/32" is a huge error. The problem has to be in the base of the slot in the head, since that's what the rule registers against. Do you see a gap on either side between the ruler and the head? If so, remove the head and check it with a strong light to see if there is anything lodged in there, or a flaw in the casting. If there's no gap and it's that far off, the head was just milled improperly.
I have three PEC squares and they are all right on the money. None are seconds though.
Please let us know how they handle it. I've never ordered from that company, but if they screw you over, I won't deal with them under any circumstances.

My guess is that you will have no problem returning it. For one thing, the "second" status refers only to the cosmetic condition of the tool—not its fitness for a particular task.
We are reasonable people. We assume you are a reasonable person to. Together, if something should go awry, we will be able to work it out between us. If it was our fault, we will make it good. If you accidentally ordered the wrong thing, we will take it back and give you a refund for the product that is returned to us.

They'll make good on it.

If the square is out that much, it is worthless and should not even be sold as a "second". A few thous out would be acceptable, but not 3/32.

A neighbor bought one and it was very blurred for the increments. Contacted them and they sent him another very quickly. He was very impressed by the Customer service. Contact them and see what they do. Like you I have a box store one, it works and I use it. My Dad gave me a Starrett for my birthday. Both work and do the job they have in life. The Starrett though is far superior. That said that comes at a price. Thanks Dad!!!

Was contacted by Steve Sackin from Harry Epstein. They sent me a new handle for the square, no questions asked. In looking down in the slot that holds the blade, one of the lands at the bottom was all but non-existent. The new handle fixed the issue and the square is now perectly square.
So yes, defective item, but excellent customer service.
#11 posted 01-28-2017 11:44 PM
Would you order from them again? After seeing what Clammy ordered and what he actually received really has given me pause from ordering from them. I was actually looking for a couple different pieces from them but getting something that's not even close to what the photo on the website has makes me want to pass on them.
#12 posted 01-29-2017 12:03 AM
I've ordered several times from them. Only one or two issues. Always quickly resolved to my satisfaction. The PEC squares are excellent value
A quick unknown…in your order of you comment that you'd like it…someone at the company will paint/draw on your packaging. Always a nice surprise.
#13 posted 01-29-2017 05:14 PM
Glad to hear they quickly resolved your issue. I've placed a couple orders from them and always had great service. And my PEC combo square is still my go to square.
I recently picked up a couple of their machinist squares in 2 and 3" sizes. I believe they are made in india, but very handy for machine tune ups.

Glad (but not surprised) to see that they took care of you in a timely manner.
FWIW, I have 3 PEC second squares, two from HJE, one from TTW, and all have been dead on and are excellent tools.
Also FWIW, if I were to do it again, I'd probably go the same seconds route with the smaller (4" & 6") squares, but I would go with a first on the 12" – maybe it was just my particular 12" blade, but the scallops to grind off the name/logo are a little deep and unsightly (on the smaller blades they're pretty pretty light). I know that it doesn't impact the function of the tool, but pretty is better than not pretty, and the extra 30 bucks or whatever would be worth it to me.

1972 Chevrolet

When is a Chevelle not a Chevelle? When it's a Heavy Chevy. And what, you may ask, what is a Heavy Chevy? It was Chevrolet's way of getting around the insurance companies who placed huge premiums on their performance models, and you'll note that nowhere on this incredible 1972 Heavy Chevy does the word "Chevelle" appear. Cool, right?
Of course, Chevrolet wasn't building anything like this spectacular A-body back in 1972. Code 56 Cream Yellow is this Chevy's original color, but I can guarantee it didn't look this good even when it was new, and with two stage urethane paint, it'll look this good for years to come. Fit and finish are excellent all around, so nice that it's easy to forget that it's a factory color. Great gaps and super straight sheetmetal certainly help with that brand spanking new look, and true to form, there's not a Chevelle badge in sight. There are, however, black stripes running along the flanks that offer a cool '70s fade that really looks good, as well as the requisite 'HEAVY CHEVY' emblems on both front fenders. And while the intent was to build a fast car that didn't look fast, this one hides in plain sight with a 4-inch cowl induction hood with hood pins that aren't exactly subtle. The smooth grille bereft of even a Chevrolet bowtie emblem is another nice touch that makes this car stand out in a crowded field.
The black interior is archetypal Chevelle, er, Heavy Chevy and looks fantastic, as you'd expect. New seat covers, fresh black carpets, and correct Chevelle-free door panels accentuate the well-appointed interior, which uses the seats and dash from a 1970 SS. But it's not totally stock, with the most notable upgrade being the instrument panel full of Auto Meter Phantom instruments, plus two on the A-pillar just for good measure. There's also a trick Hurst Pro-Matic 2 shifter for the TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and a big red switch to arm the nitrous system, which just looks plain cool. There's an AM/FM/CD stereo head unit in the dash, but you probably won't need or want it once you hear the sound of the blown big block, which we'll talk about in a moment, but you do get a hint of what's in store from the giant nitrous bottle in the nicely restored trunk.
The core of this car, however, remains under that cowl-induction hood, a B&M supercharged 454 cubic inch V8. All the best stuff is here, including a big 850 CFM Demon carburetor up top, a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads, a Weiand 4/17 street blower, and a cam big enough to hear. A lot of polished aluminum and chrome never hurts, and the engine bay is most definitely show-worthy. The burly TH400 3-speed automatic transmission has a Boss9 torque converter and feeds a 12-bolt rear full of 3.73 gears with a Detroit Locker and Superior axles. Ceramic-coated Hooker headers feed a custom exhaust system with X-pipe and 2-chamber Flowmasters, so the soundtrack is radical where the look is more subtle. Shiny, clean floors, lots of new components, and just the right stance makes this one of the nastiest A-bodies we've seen. Lovely Coys wheels look a lot like vintage Torque Thrusts and measure 18 inches up front and 20 inches in back.
As a one-owner car, this impressive car includes all the original take-off parts, including the numbers-matching original big block engine and A/C components. Not to mention the original owners manual, warranty card, and dealer invoice! Hugely fast and beautifully finished, this Heavy Chevy might just make you forget the word "Chevelle." Call today!

text: Share Tweet Cristian, what do you consider typical characteristics of your generation My generation is a free generation. The economic stability that we have experienced gave us a sense of security and liberation from the chains of some jobs. I am a lawyer and I currently work freelance with RH Management in a way that no lawyer of previous generations would have done. My fields of learning are unlimited, I believe that my generation considers that all knowledge is connected in some way; the urgent need to be specialized is a myth. We are multi-everything. What do you expect from corporate leadership in today's business world? I expect understanding. I expect the vision of dealing with a multi-self-generation. The world is rapidly changing, and the only way to keep up is to hear what we, the people living the real life outside of the business world, are learning, doing, hoping. What engages you most in the workplace and what makes you go the extra mile? What engages me are the big ideas, the projects that go beyond the financial gain and have some impact on different dimensions of the social world where our magazine is inserted in. We are connected and we have a responsibility for the country and its future. In my case, leading new ideas in workforce management is a certain way of changing reality for the better. The magazine has an ethical guidance that inspires me every day. Also I get to learn, write and investigate new ideas that I have never considered before. What is your preferred way to communicate in the workplace? I always prefer e-mail. I use a lot of gmail and for co-editing Google drive is my choice. When I'm on the street whatsapp is a great way of keeping in touch with my co-workers. How does your ideal workplace physically look like? The ideal workplace is a place that is not a prison of ideas and bodies. A place where I can move, go out, make my mind work by taking a walk and having a team of people that are whole, complex and with whom I can have an interesting chat, every day. New ideas and great projects do not appear sitting still in front of a computer screen; they come from your life, your experimentation, your mistakes and your freedom at work. What kind of development opportunities do you expect to be offered by your employer? The possibility of continuing my studies is necessary for me. I expect from my employer to give me the flexibility needed to do my job and studies equally well. Please complete this sentence: For me, my job is… … a way of achieving my ethical responsibility with the destiny of workers and companies, spreading new and radical ideas that will achieve not only better practices and productivity for business in this brave new world, but also great happiness and development for us, the workforce. How do you balance your personal and professional life? I do not put one over the other, I certainly perform better in my job when I feel complete and happy in my personal dimension and vice versa. We are unitary beings, and it's an illusion and dangerous to pretend to completely separate both aspects of life. Generation Y Cristian Miquel Munizaga, Legal and New Media Advisor with RH Management Magazine in Chile. Given the world's current political and economic situation, what's your personal outlook for the next decade? What will be the main challenges for corporations and their leaders? Their main challenge is to open up, talk to us and listen. The old way of corporations as close castles of industrial secrets is dead. They need to come down and talk. From the real world these corporations will learn what is needed and what's up next. It's the only way. This is also important to get to the hearts of people, connect with communities becoming borderless. What do you wish your colleagues from other generations would know about Gen Y? Trust us. We may do things in a different way, we may work at different time and places, but we get the job done and if we feel happy, free and trusted, you can only win. Always learn to listen, because we grew up in a non-traditional environment that will make your business grow: internet. We know how to surf it. Thank you, Cristian, for these valuable insights!

For decades, cigarette companies helped to promote the impression that there was no scientific consensus concerning the safety of their product. The appearance of controversy, however, was misleading, designed to confuse the public and to protect industry interests. Created scientific controversies emerge when expert communities are in broad agreement but the public perception is one of profound scientific uncertainty and doubt. In the first book-length analysis of the concept of a created scientific controversy, David Harker explores issues including climate change, Creation science, the anti-vaccine movement and genetically modified crops. Drawing on work in cognitive psychology, social epistemology, critical thinking and philosophy of science, he shows readers how to better understand, evaluate, and respond to the appearance of scientific controversy. His book will be a valuable resource for students of philosophy of science, environmental and health sciences, and social and natural sciences.Read more
- The first book-length introduction to the concept of a created scientific controversy
- Discusses a wide variety of issues from climate change to creation science, public health to critical thinking
- Features discussion questions which will be helpful to students
Reviews & endorsements
"Harker has produced a valuable book that introduces students to important insights from the philosophy of science and cognitive psychology in order to prepare them for grappling with major debates at the intersection of science and society."
Kevin Elliott, Michigan State UniversitySee more reviews
"This is a stimulating and engaging book that introduces some of the core issues in the philosophy of science by taking the reader through a variety of important scientific controversies. By means of this novel approach it offers a useful resource to not only philosophers of science and their students but also anyone concerned about rational decision making and critical thinking in general, including the scientifically literate public and scientists themselves."
Steven French, University of Leeds
"This is a unique and important book that addresses a topic of pressing social and political importance with great care and clarity, and an excellent understanding of the relevant science. This is applied philosophy of science at its best."
James Ladyman, University of Bristol
'This book has the look and feel of a classroom text, complete with topics for discussion at the end of each chapter. … Harker spends a good deal of time providing background on the history of the philosophy of science, elementary logic, and the literature on cognitive bias. Each of these topics in and of themselves is useful. Indeed, Harker's explanation of the problem of underdetermination of theory by evidence was extremely well done. The explanation of the literature on cognitive bias was also a nice compendium of diverse research findings.' Lee McIntyre, Metascience

Airbnb and Caribbean Tourism Organization sign MOU
The agreement was signed at CTO's headquarters in Barbados this morning by Chief Executive Officer and General Secretary Hugh Riley and Airbnb Public Policy Director for Central America and the Caribbean, Shawn Sullivan.
Airbnb has been growing in popularity in the region, especially within the last year, recording more than 25,000 listings in the Caribbean as of February 2016.
Said Sullivan, "This is an exciting partnership for Airbnb. We look forward to working with the CTO to develop policy recommendations for regional governments and other stakeholders on the sharing economy. The Caribbean is an important and growing market for Airbnb and we expect continued growth there."
Under the MOU, both sides have agreed to develop a set of policy principles and recommendations on the sharing economy for Caribbean governments. These include sharing data and studies with policymakers about the positive impact of sharing economy in the region, identify ways to make it more exclusive, as well as broaden the benefits of tourism to non-traditional actors.
Riley said the agreement will allow the CTO to be in a position to properly advise its members on Airbnb.
"The CTO is establishing a basis for mutual cooperation with Airbnb. It is important for us to examine all aspects of this important segment of the sharing economy. We believe that by clearly understanding Airbnb's massive influence in capturing consumers' interest in unique accommodations we will be in a position to properly advise our members and to allow the Caribbean to achieve the goals of year-round profitability, visitor satisfaction and sustainable tourism development."
The partnership agreement will give key stakeholders the opportunity to review Airbnb's aggregate data including the value of the peer-to-peer review mechanism, at the same time Caribbean government officials and other stakeholders learn about the long-term benefits of the sharing economy and home-sharing in particular.
It is estimated that a typical host earns approximately US$3,900 a year and there are currently 41,000 listings across the Caribbean.
Airbnb not here to hog market, says rep

Jury citation
The project includes the addition of four primary and four preprimary classrooms at the state-listed historic school site and provides for a variety of experiences, opening views to the surrounding streets and the distant city while allowing an intimacy in literally tracking and mapping direct sunlight, the winter solstice and the beginning and end of the school year. It gives students new ways of seeing their broader environment and sustainability, by developing an educational tool based on light, colour and pattern. The jury was impressed by the way the architects have shifted the primary education model within typically rigid departmental guidelines.
