Bent Horn GAMES
(previouslyKamloops Legacy Games)
5 v 5
April 25th & 26th 2020
Thank you for your interest in supporting the 5th
Annual inclusion of the sport of Ultimate into the 2020 Bent
Games. Our inaugural year (2016) into these games was a great success with 6 teams from across the province, and grew to 8 teams in 2017, 2018, & 2019. We're looking forward to further, exponential growth this year! This is an exciting opportunity for Ultimate to continue as part of this BC multi-sport games experience, and for you to earn bragging rights as you point to that gold medal hanging around your neck.
Please email
to advise of your interest or with any other questions you may have.
Kamloops BC
- McArthur Island Premier Soccer Fields
Pool Play on
Saturday April 25th
- Bracket Play on
Sunday April 26th
, with awarding of medals immediately following the Gold Medal Final. Entertainment & BBQ at the Sports Council Clubhouse on Saturday evening.
You and your 9 best friends (or more) of both genders (5 on 5, at least 2 of each gender on the field) - and teams being welcomed from across BC and our neighbouring States and Provinces.
How much
$450 for a team of 10 - $45 each for additional players (see below for statement on roster limits)
Hotel deals
The Bent Horn Games folks have arranged- STAY TUNED for more INFO on this soon!
To be a part of an exciting multi-games experience, from Opening Ceremonies to Medal Ceremonies - and of course, helping with the continued success of the growth of Ultimate while you battle in the sport you love on some of the nicest grass fields in the province... we'd say "the" nicest, but we don't want to brag too much - we're leaving the bragging to you as you leave with the shiny hardware hanging around your neck.
Legacy Registration Link
.. if you don't have your roster set (and many/most of you won't) - just register yourself and the team, and we'll work out getting the rest of your roster set up later. Also, if you're planning to bring more than 10, we'll work out the additional $45 per player collection during tournament day sign-in.
About roster limits
: we have not formally set a maximum allowed roster size, and we may see teams bringing as many as 13-14 players (or more?) or as few as 9-10. We suggest that you'd likely desire to bring at least 12 players (7 and 5), unless you really know what you're in for with this style of play and are all ready for it.
5 on 5 rules
5 on 5 is a fast paced variation of ultimate. You sub on the fly, and less players means more touches of the disc.
The rules follow the USAU 11th Edition, with the following variations:
The field is 25 yards wide and 70 yards long in total, with 14 yard endzones. There is no brick.
Stall counts are to 8. In good Canadian fashion, it's the "eh" in "eight".
If the 11th Edition says to restart the stall at...
- Stalling 6 if over 5, then it starts at Stalling 5 if over 4 instead
(e.g., contested call or 2nd+ contested stall)
- Stalling 9 if over 8, then it starts at Stalling 7 if over 6 instead
(e.g., uncontested offensive foul or offensive technical time out)
- Stalling 8, then it starts at Stalling 7
(e.g., 1st contested stall - 2nd+ contested stall at Stalling 5)
There is no pull after a point. When a team scores, the receiving player acknowledges the goal and immediately places the disc on the ground. The other team has 8 seconds to take possession and put the disc into play at that spot. They cannot walk the disc to the goal line.
Players sub on the fly. The designated sub zone is at the midline of the field, 10 yards in length, marked by cones. Every player entering the field must tag the outgoing player on the sideline before entering the field.
At the beginning of a game and after half, both teams line up at the back of the end zone for the initial pull.
When a team gains possession in their endzone, if the disc left the field of play, it is put into play at the front of the endzone at the point closest to where it crossed the perimeter line. But if the disc did not leave the field of play and came to rest in the endzone, it is put into play where it came to rest.
Games to 21, no win-by-2, hard time cap at 45 minutes. There is no soft cap
Half at 11, mirror ends and pull/receive from the game start. No break at half, other than to switch ends and repull.
One time-out per team per half (2 per game).
Default is: foot blocks are "in".
Additional clarifications:
Gender: minimum of 2 of each required gender on the field at all times, no requirement for the opposing team to match the chosen gender split.

SD card bootloader - convert assembler to C++?
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Energia - MSPThanks very much for your replies. I'll go back and study what you've said, but it kinda looks like it just needs to stay in Naken assembler. That produces a .hex file which I flash to the chip with TI's MSP Flasher. There is no "environment". And I think any attempt to convert it to C is just bound to make it larger and less efficient.
SD card bootloader - convert assembler to C++?
Peabody posted a topic in Energia - MSPI just posted a Github repo on a 1K SD card bootloader for the G2553 and G2452: https://github.com/gbhug5a/SD-Card-Bootloader-for-MSP430 It's written in assembler, but that's not really accessible to most people who use Energia. So I wondered if it would be possible to rewrite it in C++. But I don't understand much about how C++ does things, and don't know if it's possible to do the same things in the same space, or anywhere near the same space. My code uses all 12 general purpose registers, mainly because operations on registers are smaller instructions than operations on memory locations. Also, I specify in ram the exact location of every bit of ram I use, other than the stack of course. It all fits in 1K, but with exactly four bytes to spare. If I do away with setup() and loop(), and just stick with a main(), is it possible to do stuff like this in Energia? Is it possible to specify exactly where things will be located? Are there any examples of doing this kind of conversion? Well, this may be a bridge too far. But I thought I would ask. I was also thinking that if the C++ code worked in Energia, it could possibly be ported back to the Arduino world.
Using microSD card to update firmware
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Energia - MSPThanks. I finally found a tutorial that may help: http://codeandlife.com/2012/04/02/simple-fat-and-sd-tutorial-part-1/ By the way, when I first compiled the example code from the PFatFs library, I got a strange warning that appears to be related to the IDE. Should I report it somewhere? C:\energia-1.8.7E21\hardware\energia\msp430\cores\msp430\atof.c: In function 'atof': C:\energia-1.8.7E21\hardware\energia\msp430\cores\msp430\atof.c:71:9: warning: floating constant exceeds range of 'double' [-Woverflow] Sketch uses 8236 bytes (50%) of program storage space. Maximum is 16384 bytes. Global variables use 344 bytes (67%) of dynamic memory, leaving 168 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 512 bytes.
Using microSD card to update firmware
Peabody posted a topic in Energia - MSPI've been working on alternatives to updating firmware in the field, and wondered if a good alternative might be to embed a microSD card socket in a project, and use that to update firmware. It would require no cables or interface devices. Just copy the update file to the card, insert it into the slot, and power up the device, which would then detect the card, and use the file contents to flash new firmware, then (possibly) erase the file. I've downloaded the PFatFs.zip library from about 2016: https://forum.43oh.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=9251 Is that the latest version? Anyway, I don't have a feel for how much memory this would use, and perhaps more important, how much RAM is needed. Would something like the G2553 or FR2311 work? For this use, it would only be necessary to initiate the card, open the file and read the data, and optionally delete the file, but there's no need to write data to a file. So perhaps the code size might be a bit less than what the example ino produces. Does anyone here have experience using SD cards with MSP430 parts? Is this idea worth pursuing? Do you think it would be possible to write the file data to flash or FR in real time byte-by-byte, perhaps by bit-banging the SPI? Are there any hardware issues (I assume 3.3V is ok), large current requirements? Thanks for any insights and opinions.
Has anyone compiled BSL-Scripter from TI's source?
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Programmers and DebuggersThis continues on a new thread I started announcing the new modified BSL-Scripter. https://forum.43oh.com/topic/13429-modified-bsl-scripter-for-windows-now-works-with-ftdi-and-other-usb-to-uart-adapters/ Profound thanks to nagaokanchi for making this possible.
A new WIN32 version of BSL-Scripter.exe has been compiled which allows BSL flashing using generic USB-to-UART adapters such as the FT232, CP2102 and CH430 as the hardware interface. It can be used with MSP430 F5xx F6xx, and FRxx parts with UART BSL. This version has a new MODE line option "INVOKE", which causes Scripter to directly generate the BSL hardware invocation sequence on the adapter's DTR and RTS outputs, which in turn are connected to the /Reset and Test pins on the target device. It produces the pattern shown in Figure 2 of slau319w.pdf and slau550s.pdf, which is normally generated by the Rocket or MSP-FET. If the INVOKE option is used, you must include the PARITY option as well. I have successfully tested the new Scripter on an MSP430FR2311 using all three adapter types. It would be helpful if others could test other relevant MSP430 parts and report the results. This has finally come about as a result of the generous efforts nagaokanchi, also known as "drcrane" on Github, who not only got TI's source code to compile with new versions of all the dependencies, but also navigated the mysteries of BOOST to control the DTR and RTS lines. The new Scripter and a related Instructions file are contained in "BSL-Scripter-v3.4.1.zip" in the Releases folder of his repository, which also contains the source code: https://github.com/drcrane/bslscripter-vs2017/releases For those who must run an official TI version of Scripter, I will leave on my Github the now-deprecated kludge option for using these adapters with the official Scripter, but of course it requires either manual intervention or an additional circuit: https://github.com/gbhug5a/CP2102-with-BSL-Scripter-for-MSP430 And finally, a reminder that the older MSP430 parts which use BSLDEMO2 for flashing, including the F1xx, F2xx, F4xx, and G2xx parts with BSL, can also be flashed with these adapters if a modified version of BSLDEMO is used, such as the "BSLDEMO-2.01C.exe" found in my other repo: https://github.com/gbhug5a/MSP430-BSL Texas Instruments has neither reviewed nor approved any of this. But I continue to hope TI will officially make similar changes to BSL-Scripter and BSLDEMO to support the use of these generic adapters.
Has anyone compiled BSL-Scripter from TI's source?
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Programmers and DebuggersI haven't looked at your latest version, but I tested the release build version 2, and it works!!! The 15ms sleeps don't seem to matter. Pics below. So at this point we have several variations open related to sleep times and methods used to change DTR and RTS. I would suggest that you just pick what options seem best to you and let me confirm one last time that they works, and we can publish. 🙂 One issue that comes to mind concerning which choices to make is that if one option might be usable in any future Linux or Mac version, that might be the best one. The other consideration is that the fewer changes to TI's code, the more confidence others will have in the outcome. So, for example, if this latest version leaves TI's original TestReset.h unchanged, that might be best even if it isn't very elegant. I can't thank you enough for jumping into this. I'm very pleased that this BSL option now exists. Edit: I just tested Release V3, and it works too. So let's just go with that one. What do you want to call it? How about BSL-Scripter340B.exe?
Has anyone compiled BSL-Scripter from TI's source?
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Programmers and DebuggersThanks very much. Your Set and Clr work quite well. I've attached a scope picture showing what happens to the DTR and RTS lines. There are two problems: 1. Each sleep is supposd to be 10ms. The first sleep is significantly less than that. It may be necessary to add another 10ms sleep line right after that first one. All the other sleeps are actually about 15ms. I think that results from the default Windows tick time. I think it's likely that the difference won't matter. 2. The big problem is that after the last sleep ends, something is bringing DTR low - equivalent to rst.Set(), or resetting flow control to none, or something similar. I don't know what is causing that, but it has to be fixed because DTR is connected to the /Reset pin, and nothing can be flashed if it goes back low and puts the processor into reset.
Has anyone compiled BSL-Scripter from TI's source?
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Programmers and DebuggersI agree that the code I used in my CP2102 repo is not right for this. That was plain C, with no Boost involved. But I don't understand what is wrong with TI's original TestReset.h code for Scripter. It appears they DO use boost:asio to set DTR and RTS, and their code matches other examples I found online. My changes to UartComm.cpp contain my new calls to the TestReset.h functions for switching DTR and RTS. They have no connection to the CP2102 code. What is still puzzling is why TI #included the functions in TestReset.h, but never used them. Perhaps they used them in an older version.
Has anyone compiled BSL-Scripter from TI's source?
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Programmers and DebuggersAt the risk of making you regret you did this, I need to ask if you can point me to anything that would explain what's going on in TestReset.h. I know nothing about Boost, or really C++, and the code there just doesn't make any sense. I don't see where "initState" comes from. It doesn't appear anywhere else in the source code, the libraries you included, or the Boost download I did. Also, it appears to be circular logic, and writes before it reads - it all seems upside down. But I've found that exact code elsewhere online as a standard way to do serial ports, but unfortunately without explanation. I also don't see how the TestReset.h code ever gets executed. "TESTControl" and "RESETControl" don't appear in any other source file. What I need to do is (1) stop Scripter from automatically bringing DTR and RTS low, and (2) have it instead generate the invoke pattern itself if a new MODE-line option is selected. #2 I have already done in 😄 https://github.com/gbhug5a/CP2102-with-BSL-Scripter-for-MSP430 but I don't know about #1. TestReset.h is the only source file dealing with DTR and RTS, but I can't change it until I understand it, and make sure changing it doesn't mess up other things. Anything you or anyone can do to shed light on that code would be appreciated. Edit: I've done more searching, and have concluded that if TESTControl and RESETControl are not called from anywhere in the source code, then they are not being used. But they could be. By me. It looks like these functions are the normal way to change the state of DTR and RTS. So I should be able to call them with the appropriate argument. Then I would only need to add the 10ms delays between state changes. Also, if I'm generating the invoke sequence, it doesn't matter that the lines are brought low first (#1 above). In any case, if TestRest.h isn't being used to do that, it's probably just the way Boost opens COM ports when FlowControl = None, and there's nothing I can do about it. If that sounds right, then I'm going to concentrate on adding the "INVOKE" option to the MODE line (presumably the same way "PARITY" is done), and adding the invoke sequence. And all I need to understand about TestReset.h is that the functions there work.
Has anyone compiled BSL-Scripter from TI's source?
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Programmers and DebuggersThank you very much for posting this. I really appreciate it. I'm surprised you remembered the original post. I have downloaded the repo ZIP file, and will study it carefully. But I suspect it will still be way over my head. I've never actually used a "real" compiler before. But I will do my best to figure it out. Can you say what you needed to change to get Scripter to work with the MSP432?
OK, so you don't use a timer-based PWM output, but vary the ON time in your code (NOPs or whatever) based on the number of segments being lit. And I assume the "worst case" is displaying an 8. Well that's pretty cool. And assembler is good for this kind of thing. I did all of my version in MSP430 assembler first, then moved it to Energia/Arduino to make it more accessible. What LVC part did you use?
That's very interesting. Do you vary the PWM rate depending on the number of segments being lit up? And no resistors on the common cathodes?
Multiplexing 7-segment displays by segment
Peabody posted a topic in Energia - MSPIn case it might be of use to someone, I've posted a Youtube video and created a Github repo dealing with an alternate way of multiplexing 7-segment displays that has a greatly reduced parts count. It's multiplexing by segment instead of by digit. The video shows this method implemented with an MSP430G2553. The Github repo has demonstration Arduino Nano sketches, but they should work as-is with Energia except for the pin assignments. The video is on my local OSH group's channel, and I can't respond to comments there, but will answer questions here if there are any. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w09Zy8MQrc https://github.com/gbhug5a/7-Segment-Displays-Multiplex-by-Segment
Millis not regular on oscilloscope
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Energia - MSPI just wanted to say that I think I found the answer to the non-regular millis, at least in the Arduino IDE, and I suspect it's the same in Energia. The interrupt that updates millis is actually a bit slower than 1ms. So periodically, the millis value is incremented by 2 so as to keep the average rate at exactly 1ms. Since my IF statement executes every other milli, it will execute after only 1ms when the millis count increments by 2. And that's why the scope showed the irregular trigger.

Roland Emmerich's been trying to get an Independence Day sequel off the ground for many years, but the story we're going to see on screen in June is actually relatively new. Despite all the talk about ID Forever Part I and Part II, eventually, Emmerich had enough and opted to bring in two budding screenwriters to get a fresh take, James Woods and Nicolas Wright. Four weeks later, they came up with the idea that would finally get the long awaited sequel into production.
Back in June 2015, I got the chance to sit down with Emmerich on the set of Independence Day: Resurgence to talk about how he broke story, how The Hunger Games influenced the film, what advice he'd give to folks to survive a real alien invasion and more. You can hear about it all in the video interview below. Independence Day: Resurgence hits theaters on June 24th and stars Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Sela Ward, Maika Monroe, Liam Hemsworth and Jessie Usher.
If you'd like to check out more from my Independence Day: Resurgence set visit, browse the links below:
- 'Independence Day: Resurgence': 17 Things to Know about the Second Invasion
- Jeff Goldblum Teases Connie's Absence in 'Independence Day: Resurgence'
Here's the official synopsis for Independence Day: Resurgence:
We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens' advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Singapore's economy to contract further
Singapore's economy could contract by more than a government forecast of between -2 and -5 percent this year if the global economy continues to shrink, the Business Times quoted Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as saying.
"Our GDP growth is forecast to be between -2 and -5 percent. It could be worse if the global economy worsens, even lower than -5 percent is possible," Lee was quoted as saying at a government function on Sunday.
The government slashed its growth projection on January 21 to a contraction of between 2 and 5 percent, from a range of minus 2 percent to plus 1 percent. Like other export-reliant Asian economies, tiny Singapore has been pummeled by a collapse in consumer demand as economies slow sharply around the world.
In the speech to unionists and white collar professionals on Sunday, Lee said the next six months would be tough for Singapore as economic fallout in Eastern Europe could worsen the global recession, led by tthe United States and the European Union.
"It is a big problem for the European banks who are exposed to Eastern Europe, it is a problem for Asia too because the same European banks are very active and big lenders in Asia," the Strait Times quoted him as saying.
"So let us prepare for a very tough year ahead and let us be psychologically ready to think in terms of several slow years after that."
Last month the government said in its budget it would for the first time tap government reserves to pay for a stimulus package to help companies and save jobs, as the country grapples with its worst-ever recession.
Singapore's non-oil exports fell 34.8 percent in January from a year earlier, the worst fall since records began in 1977, and analysts said the worst is yet to come. Lee said the next two quarters would be "especially tough and let's fasten seat belts."

To start with you must be aware that every State of the Union is barely completely different in its legal guidelines and exact procedures for registering a custom built motorbike, but many aspects are exactly the same. To be able to ensure, nonetheless, that you don't fail to dot each "i" and cross every "t" alongside the way, you should open a dialogue with a useful consultant at your native registration office to study any special details and necessities which may be particular to your State. In fact, it is a nice concept to try to find someone on the registration workplace who is helpful and friendly and be especially good to this consultant because you will most likely need to ask some questions alongside the way and having a contact who's accustomed to what you are trying to do will ensure a pleasing experience when discovering answers to arduous questions.

OMG - is this for real? I never win anything! Very, very happy to have some good news in this difficult time of social distancing amidst Covid-19. Has raised my spirits hugely.
I've been a proud member of Purkle for over a decade. Having gotten Ticketek vouchers to great events, Xbox credit for gaming and now e-gift cards for my shopping, this is the most amazing prize of them all !!!
It is a very pleasant surprise to win Alice Cooper tickets. I have never won any prizes from doing surveys up until now.
I would like to thank yourself and everyone at Purkle for this awesome prize and I am very flattered to have won. Thanks again to the whole team at Purkle and I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Wow, amazed by this one. Just did a few surveys in the evenings instead of wasting my time watching Netflix. Doing something productive has really paid off. Fantastic prize and been great fun getting there. Initially thought it was too good to be true. Thank you.
Wow, really?!! I have never thought that this was for real. I almost deleted this message without reading: the only thing that prompted me to open it was recognising the name of a person who communicated with me some time ago regarding one of my Purkle points redemption requests. I still cannot believe it: me winning a lottery? But if it is true, it is a very nice Christmas present at the end of a difficult year, thank you!
I'm so surprised about winning. Thank you once again and ill continue to tell my friends about Purkle wow just wow
You've put a big smile on my face. What a great time of the year to win a prize such as this… now to dream about what to spend my winnings on.

ABC News' David Muir on Viability of Newsmagazines: "There's Still an Appetite for Heavy Interviewing"
Today on the mediabistro.com Morning Media Menu we're joined by ABC News' David Muir.
The World News Saturday anchor is moving to Friday this week, for a report on tonight's 20/20 about the "Black Widow" murder case. The report took him back to his hometown of Syracuse, which is also where he got his start in the TV news business.
"You know that there's still an appetite for heavy lifting, heavy interviewing," he said of the interest in newsmagazines. "What 20/20 does is not only tries to do that, and offer up some of these murder hours, but also take them a step further…So it's not just escapism on a Friday night, but it's also revealing how detectives now are going about this. It's like Dexter/CSI meets 20/20."
Also discussed: What he thought of TMZ filming him last month (and dubbing him the "Brad Pitt of news anchors"), the American journalist on trial in North Korea and What We Learned This Week.
You can listen to all the past podcasts at BlogTalkRadio.com/mediabistro and call in at 646-929-0321. One note: we're live all this week an hour later than usual, at 10amET.

For the longest time I have adored anyone who is brave enough to die their hair a bright or pastel colours. I have often said 'I'd love to have hair like that' and I've always stopped going any further.
So, when I found the L'Oréal colo-rista sprays I was pretty excited to say the least! Not only could I see what my hair would look like with colour, I also thought it could be great for summer, festivals & even a bit of fun with my nieces.
The lilac / lavender colour is the one I was most attracted too, but they have a whole range of colours! (Grey/peach/pink etc) I picked mine up from Boots for £6.99. The images online show a girl, with hair darker than mine, the spray has transformed her hair into a gorgeous lavender colour.
I finally got round to trying it out on my hair a couple of weeks ago. I started of by spraying a small amount on my hand first, to get an idea of colour.
It covered my hand with a pale grey powder & purple glitter. Which made me get a bit worried about how this would even show up on my hair.
It's safe to say, I was massively disappointed when I finally used it on my hair! Not only did the product barely show up, the bit I could see, pretty much disappeared after brushing! The below 3 pictures are the same section of my hair; before, after spraying (a lot of) the product on my hair & after leaving it to dry / brushing.
As you can see, it doesn't really do much at all. The colour doesn't really come through and it definitely does not look like the 'claims' on the side of the bottle. I sprayed this section of my hair numerous times and really tried to get the colour to show. In real life, it was a bit more obvious / glittery, but it didn't look much different! You would likely need at least 2 bottles to get your hair to look remotely lilac.
I genuinely thought this would be a great product for summer & for things like festivals. It's wash in & wash out, so for people like me (who don't want to permanently die their hair) it should be a great way too try new styles without the commitment. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that well!
I have used things like hair chalks before, which are much cheaper, and the chalks give your hair a lot more colour! Overall, I wouldn't bother spending your money on this product and would definitely recommend hair chalks as an alternative!

Overall, I was very happy about the webinar. I started off wondering if this would be a good use of taxpayer's money, but I'm now convinced that we should do it more often. It's really good for those who don't have a lot of time to attend in-person sessions.
1 thing good that I noticed, is that he actually seemed to be answering my questions in the order that I asked them, and as they appeared in the blog posts. I think that this is good, because it honours the "first come, first serve" rule.
I assume that he filtered out at least some of the unnecessary questions, too, which was good.
I noticed that he seemed to spend a lot of time reiterating information that he gave out during the webinar, or information that was already available on the web sites. He even mentioned that it was already mentioned or available. My suggestion for improvement is to keep the answers as brief as possible, because sometimes a simple "yes" or "no" will do.
Perhaps another suggestion is to cross off any questions and answers to what you already answered in the blog. Nick answered 1 of my questions, which was very credible. You confirmed it, which was more than necessary for me. Therefore, Jeff didn't have to use his time for that. I suspect that he had more questions than time. With the time saved, he could answer other questions.
I found that a lot of the information that he gave was repeated from the web site. That did not seem very useful to me, but maybe the webinar isn't geared towards those who typically go to the web site.
I found that the webinar added credibility to the web site information, in that it confirmed our understanding, and confirmed that nothing had changed [in a good way].
Good job, Jeff Busby and Translink!

I was at the consulation workshop Monday. Was there anything covered in the webinar (besides the reader-submitted questions) that wasn't covered during these workshops?

This gorgeous 1950's reproduction dress is made from a medium weight stretch cotton in a fabulous blue and white floral fabric.
She is sleeveless with a stunning dual strap embelishment to the front.
The beautiful design is fitted through the bodice so it hugs and supports and the dramatically flared skirt skims over hips and thighs with fabulous fifties finesse.
This dress looks sensational when worn with a petticoat! Perfect for parties, weddings and proms!
Cerys Says...
This dress is Simply stunning! The floral design is so elegant and classic. I adore the colour. It is a touch small on the chest (as with most of these dresses) so I would recommend a size up if you have a larger than average chest.
Add the Irregular Choice Happy Home Blue Floral Court Shoes for the perfect footwear.
And a beautiful fluffy petticoat for volume 26" 1950s Soft Multi layered Petticoat White

Murder on the Orient Express was a novel written by Agatha Christie. Christie was inadvertently inspired to write the novel by Donna Noble, who met the writer in 1926 and was not aware that it had not been written yet. Although Christie's conscious memories of her adventure with the Tenth Doctor and Donna were lost, the idea remained as a subconscious influence. Donna personally considered it one of the best novels written by Christie. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp)
In 2986, Sarah Lasky read it in the lounge of the starliner Hyperion III. (TV: Terror of the Vervoids)
The Eleventh Doctor considered Murder on the Orient Express to be a very informative title. (COMIC: The Sound of Our Voices)
Behind the scenes Edit
- Murder on the Orient Express is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and was first published in the UK on 1 January 1934. The book features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who investigates the murder of an American businessman committed on the Calais Coach of the Orient Express. Nearly all the passengers are suspects.
- According to The Brilliant Book 2012, a book that contains non-narrative based information, in an alternate universe where all of history happened at once, Cleopatra read Murder on the Sky Orient Express.
- Vanessa Redgrave, George Coulouris, Vernon Dobtcheff and Vik Tablian appeared in the 1974 film adaptation while Derek Jacobi, Olivia Colman, Miranda Raison, Joseph Long, Michael Rouse, Gerard Horan, Adam Garcia and Hadley Fraser appeared in the 2017 film adaptation.

Buying AUDUSD at H4 Demand, but in Higher Timeframe Downtrend
Posted in Target hit, Trades, Winners
Found this trend on H4 AUDUSD chart and looked to find an entry. The little demand zone was a sweet spot to continue the trend. I placed my limit order (i only use limit orders) at 0.7140 with a stop loss 30 pips below. The screenshot was taken right after triggering my order.
Since we are in a downtrend on the daily and weekly (yellow dashed lines mark the next weekly supply zone) chart, i just went for the next supply (see screenshot below) which offered 90 pips and more, because that supply was not fresh (several retraces) anymore.
Finally price hit my target and reacted to the weekly supply zone.
Here is the weekly chart:

Michael Corcoran: Just as the media lied to help us get into a war, they are now lying us out of one.
With 70,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, President Obama yesterday dropped his 2009 pledge to remove all combat troops before September, extending the target date 15 months, Gareth Porter reported today at Inter Press Services. The drawdown is intended by the Administration to leave 50,000 'residual troops' indefinitely, but investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill notes the so-called "withdrawal" is a replacement of combat troops with 'private' mercenary firms. Earlier today, he spoke with Amy Goodman at Democracy Now! (11:48):
Jeremy Scahill, leading journalist on the Pentagon's military contracting, discussed the "incredibly disappointing" Washington Post series on giant system of 'top secret' operations of the U.S. government with AntiWar Radio host Scott Horton at Pacifica. He discussed "preparing the battlefield" operations, the WaPo as a "dumping ground" for the C.I.A. and the 'system intended to give cover to clandestine operators in the private sector acting on behalf of the government'.
Later, Mr. Horton discussed blowback in Somalia against foreign intervention in Somali society perpetuating the horror in the Horn of Africa, giving a great summary of the recent history that led to the current state of affairs in the territory from the Bush Administration's invasion to the Obama Administration shipping in arms, but blocking food entry. He also discussed 9/11 as blowback for Washington's enabling of Israel's 'war crimes' (25:50):
Highlighting U.S. intervention in the further destruction of Somalia and as Ugandans mourn a terrorist attack from Somali militants and Fareed Zakaria noting the non-threat of 'failed states' and the imminent blowback induced by the failed missions of nation building.

|The Second Chance
This movie stars Christian singer
and song writer Michael W. Smith and Jeff Obafemi Carr.
The Associate Pastor at the Rock
is Pastor Jenkins son, Ethan, who is a gifted author, song writer and
Ethan is not as politically savvy as senior Pastor
Jeremiah and his lack of skill in handling sensitive issues gets him assigned
to the
Second Chance to observe and learn.
It is at
Second Chance
that he realizes that the Gospel is more than broadcasting a message and
planting churches around the world.
He also learns that the pastor of
Second Chance
might be a better disciple of his father than he.
He finds that ministry at
Second Chance
goes far beyond preaching and singing, and requires a hands-on approach, a
living of the Christian life before the congregants and would be
congregants, and involves far less attention and praise from the media.
The experience also brings to light that
The Rock
board of directors
see the property of
Second Chance
as resource for funding its missions around the world, and have no concern
for body of people comprising
Second Chance.
Fortunately the movie draws to a close with pastors Jake and Ethan and
Jeremiah Jenkins recognizing the second chance they have been given.

Luke 20:46-47 (KJV) Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; {47} Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

by Vincent Planat, DXC and Antoine Denis, Microsoft
For those in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, there's much to celebrate about the future of healthcare: We're living longer, scientists are constantly discovering new pathologies — leading to new treatments and cures — and technology is creating new pathways to address the way care is managed.
But with the good news come significant challenges: We're battling a shortage of healthcare professionals. We're also spending a large amount of gross domestic product (GDP) on healthcare. In France, the expenditure is 11.6 percent of GDP, and the healthcare budget has been in the red for many years. And as the population ages — a phenomenon that France faces in the near future the costs of care are only going to increase.
In this environment, doctors have less time to spend with patients, which affects quality of care. Moreover, efficiency and the costs of diagnostics and treatment are affected by care duplication, where patients often take the same test more than once and repeat the same information to different specialists.
Pharmaceutical companies, meanwhile, are pressured to improve productivity and cost savings across the product life cycle. To do so, they must enhance launch planning and drug tracking so that they gain insights into current and predicted treatment outcomes. They must also demonstrate both the safety and added value of their products in the face of brand challenges and deal with potential loss of revenue amid tighter reimbursement requirements.
Insurers or payers also must adjust to the changing environment by creating customer profiles that reflect patient concerns and expectations, clinical needs, and preferences.
All the while, healthcare confronts a raft of technical solutions, each typically disconnected from other parts of the healthcare continuum. Decision makers struggle to determine what makes the most sense for their particular situation or how to rationalize their platforms for greater continuity and better productivity.
It would be disingenuous to suggest there is an easy answer to the pervasive issues that healthcare faces, but there are undoubtedly ways to simplify many challenges. For one thing, there's no doubt that digital transformation, including artificial intelligence (AI), can improve the coordination of care across all aspects of healthcare — practitioners, payers and the pharmaceutical industry — and deliver insights that can help with prediction and personalized treatment.
Continuum of care
Properly leveraging all of the technologies now available to the broader healthcare network can simplify patient care across the continuum.
One aspect of care coordination is what happens to the patient from the point of care, such as the hospital, to the home. Digital transformation can facilitate efficient communication and involvement of the entire care team. Care team members can be alerted to gaps in care and can provide support and intervention as needed and in near real time. For example, if a patient has a fall after leaving the hospital, a digitally driven personalized care and chronic disease management solution could alert the patient's care manager to follow up with a specific doctor. A complete, 360-degree care coordination approach encompasses everyone invested in the patient's care and recovery, including family and friends.
Analytics improve outcomes
The other area where digital transformation offers significant potential for improving healthcare outcomes and driving personalized care is analytics. All stakeholders need better ways to report and predict.
For healthcare providers, analytics can help identify the risk of chronic disease, support decisions, and determine the effectiveness of diagnostics in preventing disease or driving early intervention and treatment.
Analytics gives the pharmaceutical industry real-world evidence from multiple sources of patient data that can be used to personalize patient treatment and thereby improve effectiveness and cost efficiency. These insights can also help to improve drug development and trial recruitment processes.
Finally, for the insurance industry, accessing more extensive patient data through AI makes it possible to personalize service based on qualifying patient risks and benefits.
Overcoming the hurdles
While the capabilities are there, the broader healthcare industry must overcome some significant hurdles, including the difficulties created by complex datasets and regulatory requirements. Even more complicated is the fact that healthcare involves the human body, and there's still a lot we don't know about how it works. It was only recently, for example, that scientists discovered the gut-brain axis, a communication network between the gut and the brain.
We also need to consider perceptions and distrust about digital transformation. After all, healthcare deals with truly personal data, and all stakeholders are highly sensitive to this fact. Digital transformation needs to account for these concerns and ensure that it provides a solution which is both well-received and efficient. Ultimately, the goals need to be improving patient care and satisfaction across the continuum.

It's hard to know for sure, but we think that U.S. Senator Brian Schatz has won his Democratic Primary race against challenger Colleen Hanabusa. That's what all the papers were reporting after the Aug. 15 special election in hurricane-ravaged Puna, but they were also reporting that the state Office of Elections suddenly found 800 ballots from Maui County that had previously gone uncounted.
"Hawaii elections officials say 800 uncounted ballots have been discovered during a routine audit of the primary election," Civil Beat reported the night of the special election. "The ballots are from Maui and were transmitted to the elections office on Aug. 9 but inadvertently not counted, according to elections office spokesman Rex Quidilla."
So apparently the error lay with the state, rather than the county. I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse. No word yet on whether Hanabusa will challenge the results (she had attempted to stop Friday's vote, but that was overruled). For his part, Schatz seemed particularly angry.
""This is appalling and outrageous," he said in an Aug. 15 news release. "It is unacceptable that the Office of Elections failed to count these ballots on Maui, and the voters of Hawai'i are entitled to an explanation of how this occurred. We need to understand what measures will be taken to make sure something like this doesn't happen again."
And we wonder why election turnout (41.5 percent in Hawaii, 33.1 percent in Maui County) is so abysmal.

Oh, by the way, in an apparently unrelated development, the Hawaii State Elections Commission is looking for a new Maui Commissioner. The application deadline is Aug. 29. Click here to learn more.

Blooper Information
Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted.
Toad Gold is the forty-sixth blooper created by SuperMarioGlitchy4. In this video, Toad suddenly becomes rich after finding an enormous amount of gold. He takes over Peach's Castle and kicks out Mario, SMG4, Luigi, and X. It is now up to the gang to stop Toad from abusing his newfound money powers.
When Toad accidentally falls into a hole he finds gold! and he buys the castle from Peach and kicks Mario and friends out. Mario now has to find a way back in to stop all this!
The episode opens with the narrator trying to get through his intro to the video, only to be constantly interrupted by a crazed Mario. Meanwhile, Toad leaves the castle, saying how he's become suicidal about being a character in Super Mario 64. Mario (who is now spontaneously naked) knocks Toad into a huge hole that wasn't there before. At the bottom, Toad sees something glowing and finds tons of gold. Toad jumps for joy until naked Mario craps down the hole. After cleaning himself and climbing out, Mario insults Toad, who responds by telling Mario that he's rich, which Mario laughs at. Toad later asks Princess Peach to buy the castle and offers to give his whole fortune, but Peach simply accepts 10 bucks. He then kicks Mario out of the castle, along with Luigi, SMG4, and X.
The gang forms an anti-Toad group and try to formulate a plan, which never actually happens, as the group argues over lots of things. When they do form a plan, it fails horribly. Eventually, SMG4 decides to abuse the famous "Black Room of Death" glitch to get into the castle and let the gang in but is thrown out by a guard who somehow also made it in. Eventually, the group resolves to break through the roof but can't, so SMG4 gives a 'Rage Gift' to Yoshi (who is somehow STILL on the roof), which turns out to be a bomb that inadvertently kills Yoshi. After climbing through the hole, they blew in the roof, and the group is confronted by Toad. After Toad starts talking about how he now owns the castle, the entire gang does a secret head shake, pulls out guns, and begins randomly firing them around the room. Luigi loses control afterward and shoots the ceiling enough that it collapses, and all the gold that Toad hid begins pouring from it. When Toad tries to stop the gang, Mario accidentally shoots the gold, which in turn causes the floor to collapse into a large chasm, taking every bar of gold inside.
Realizing now that Toad isn't rich enough to repay the damage, the group goes their separate ways. Afterward, Toad ponders what he is going to do now that he is broke and in debt, he leaps into the chasm (falling which may or may not have killed him) screaming, "I WANT THE GOLLLLLDDDD!!!!!!!!!!" and the blooper ends.

'BEEs Community' Team Launches 'Tree of Hope' Initiative for Teens
The 'BEEs Community' team in Damascus has launched 'Tree of Hope' initiative that aims to empower life skills for teens and to enhance psychological support for this category through training activities and workshops.
According to the initiative's coordinator Samir Maihob, the training activities and workshops help discover teens' needs and enhance their abilities within interactive atmosphere that strengthens relations between trainees and enhances principles of peace, life and work.
"The initiative is concerned with life skills, citizenship, belongingness, peace, non-violence, media and psychological support for teens," Maihob said, adding that participants in training activities are being divided into groups to discuss principles and suggestions in order to enhance leadership capabilities of teens.
Young participant in the initiative Nagham Hazzouri said that she learned during the activities how to express her opinion and to listen to the opinions of others.
While another participant Lujain Kan'an stressed that she learned how to think positively and to hold on to hope to overcome obstacles.
Since the start of crisis in Syria in 2011, a lot of development initiatives have been launched in many provinces targeting youths and children as they will take part in rebuilding the homeland.

Moody's Investors Service confirmed Brunswick Corporation's Baa2 senior unsecured rating. The rating outlook is stable.
The confirmation reflects Moody's expectation that Brunswick's credit profile will remain strong as it moves forward with the divestiture of its Life Fitness business and continues to focus on the more stable and profitable marine Parts & Services (P&A) business. The marine P&A business had sales of $1.4 billion in 2018, which represents more than 33 percent of the company's marine revenue. Brunswick has made meaningful progress in reducing financial leverage over the last few years with pro forma debt/EBITDA approaching 2.5 times. Moody's expects leverage to approach 2.0 times in 2019 through a combination of earnings growth and debt repayment with internally generated cash.
Rating confirmed:
- Senior unsecured notes at Baa2
The outlook is stable.
Ratings Rationale
Moody's said Brunswick's Baa2 senior unsecured rating reflects its strong position in the marine industry, the stabilityprovided by its Mercury parts & accessories business, and its very strong credit metrics. The rating also reflects Brunswick's good operating performance and strength of its distribution network. The rating benefits from the fact that boating is a sector with relatively stable participation trends. Because of Brunswick's sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions and discretionary spending, Moody's expects the company's credit metrics to be stronger than other similarly-rated consumer durable companies. Moody's expects credit metrics to remain strong as the company's operating performance remains solid and leisure marine industry demand steadily grows. Brunswick's strong liquidity and seasoned management team also support the rating. Ratings are constrained by the discretionary nature of pleasure boats and marine-related products, which makes Brunswick's revenues and earnings sensitive to economic weakness.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the company will maintain its strong operating performance, liquidity, and credit metrics. This will enable the company to maintain a solid credit profile, even in a moderate to significant economic decline.
Moody's said an upgrade is possible if Brunswick can materially increase its revenues, and further diversify its business away from boats. Moody's said it would also need to have a view that Brunswick would be able to maintain solid earnings and cash flow in the face of economic uncertainties. In addition, Brunswick would need to sustain debt/EBITDA below 1.5 times before Moody's would consider an upgrade.
Ratings could be downgraded if there is a significant negative change in boating participation and/or boat ownership trends or the company's operating performance otherwise weakens. Debt/EBITDA sustained above 2.5 times could also result in a downgrade.

1 Marine dead, 6 injured after training accident at Camp Pendleton
CAMP PENDLETON — One Marine was killed and six others were injured during a routine training exercise on the base, Thursday, May 9.
Marines from the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion were doing regularly scheduled training at Camp Pendleton when the light armored vehicle they were riding in rolled over at about 9 a.m., said 1st Lt. Cameron Edinburgh.
The identity of the Marine who died will be withheld until next of kin have been notified, Edinburgh said. The six other Marines were evacuated by air and ground to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. Their injuries are not life-threatening, he said.
Marine Corps officials are investigating the cause of the accident.
"This is a tragic event and our thoughts are with the family, friends and the unit at this difficult time," Edinburgh said.
Last month, Staff Sgt. Joshua Braica of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion also was killed when his tactical vehicle, a Polaris MRZR, rolled over. Two other Raiders were injured.
That accident occurred April 13 as the battalion was in the final weeks of pre-deployment training. Braica was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital where he died a day later. The accident remains under investigation.

How does one describe the Beijing IKEA experience to someone who has never gone through it? Let me try in bullet points:-
- Half of Beijing crammed into one building – CHECK
- Peripheral vision challenged masses – CHECK
- People who walk at half a mile a fortnight (two weeks for my non-UK friends) – CHECK
- People who allow their screaming kids to run riot through slow-moving clientele – CHECK
- Annoying kids who you'd swear have never been taken out in public before – CHECK
- People who don't understand IKEA is a furniture store – CHECK
- People who think IKEA is where you can go and take a nap – CHECK
- People who stop and pose for the (non-existent) camera, and run their fingers through their hair as if anyone else gave a damn – CHECK
- People who bang their carts into the back of your heels – CHECK
- People who load up their carts with literally a whole consignment of apple corers – CHECK
- People who drop off their aged parents in the bedroom department, tuck them into a display bed, and leave them to snore away while they do all of the above things at their leisure – CHECK (Follow this link for various pieces of photographic evidence!)
- People who do all of the above things, and then buy 1 item – CHECK
- Disgruntled luo wei (foreign devil) who could have hurt a few people for doing all of the above, but to her credit didn't – CHECK
- Fake IKEA people trying to get you to hire them to deliver your goods to your house, and then get chased out by security – CHECK
- Real IKEA security looking at said foreign devil as if it was her fault they had to run after some miscreants – CHECK
- Taxi drivers trying to charge three times the amount for a very short taxi ride – CHECK
Ask me why I don't go to IKEA very often.

I don't have the answer to the question of the blog post, so does anyone have any idea why European companies tend to have higher leverage than American companies?
I remember noticing this when I briefly looked at US-listed European companies a few years ago. This is just one example and one should be careful with extrapolating off one example but, just compare a company like Diageo (DEO) to Brown Forman (BF/B).
In any case, the leverage issue is starting to pop up in news these days because European banks tend to have higher leverage than American companies. In an opinion piece for Bloomberg, Simon Johnson remarks (bolds by me),
By any measure, Deutsche Bank is a giant. Its assets at the end of September totaled 2.28 trillion euros (according to the bank's own website), or $3.08 trillion. In the latest ranking from The Banker, which uses 2010 data, Deutsche was the second-largest bank in the world by assets, behind only BNP Paribas SA.
The German bank, however, is thinly capitalized. Its total equity at the end of the third quarter was only 51.9 billion euros, implying a leverage ratio (total assets divided by equity) of almost 44. This is up from the second quarter, when leverage was about 36 (assets were 1.849 trillion euros and capital was 51.678 euros.)
Even by modern standards, this is very high leverage. JPMorgan Chase & Co. has a balance sheet about 20 percent smaller than Deutsche Bank's, but more than twice as much Tier 1 capital, an important indicator of a bank's financial strength. Bank of America Corp., whose weakness is a serious worry in the U.S. today, has twice Deutsche's capital. (These comparisons use The Banker's ranking of the top 25 banks.)
Globally, Deutsche's capital ratios are relatively healthy, judging by the banking industry's standard measures. At the end of the third quarter, its Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.8 percent (up from 12.3 percent at the end of 2010) and its core Tier 1, which excludes hybrid debt that can convert into equity, was 10.1 percent.
How does such a highly leveraged bank become "well-capitalized"? The answer is that "risk-weighted assets" were 337.6 billion euros as of Sept. 30. But what is a low risk-weight asset in the European context today? Incredibly, it is sovereign debt, which of course is far from riskless at the moment.
Perhaps Deutsche Bank holds mostly German government debt, which still has safe-haven value. But it's likely that Deutsche also holds a significant amount of Italian and French government bonds.
Again, this is just one example and one shouldn't blindly extrapolate it to all banks; but it does show the nature of leverage in Europe. One of the best-run banks in Europe, Deutche Bank, appears to have a leverage of around 44. Depending on how your counted, even Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns weren't that high (although investment bank operations tend to be more riskier). American banks with cloud over them, like Bank of America and Citigroup only have a leverage between 10 to 15 right now (how you count, or mark, the assets impacts these numbers but they don't explain the huge gap between 44x leverage and 15x).
The ironic thing is that American investors, particularly private equity investors, get blamed in America for overloading companies with debt and increasing risk, yet companies as a whole appear to have much lower debt levels in America than in Europe.
So, does anyone have a theory on why European companies, financial as well as non-financial, tend to have higher leverage than in America? Does anyone know if differences in accounting schemes (say how preferred shares or certain types of convertible debt are counted) may explain this? Or is there some cultural element that explains how you can carry higher debt levels? Tags: Europe, financials

Swami Adbhutananda
Speaking about Latu Maharaj, Swami Vivekananda once said, "Latu is Sri Ramakrishna's greatest miracle. Having absolutely no education, he has attained the highest wisdom simply by virtue of the Master's touch". Latu was the only disciple of Sri Ramakrishna who could not even read or write. He was born of very poor parents in a village in Bihar. He lost his parents in early boyhood. Poverty forced his uncle to take him to Kolkata where Latu was employed as a houseboy in the house of Ramachandra Datta, a close devotee of Sri Ramakrishna. The Master recognized the dormant spiritual potential in the boy and asked Ram to allow Latu to stay at Dakshineswar as an attendant. Under the guidance of the Master Latu practised intense sadhana, spending whole nights in meditation, a habit which he followed all through his life.
After Sri Ramakrishna's passing, Latu joined Baranagar Math, and was ordained a sannyasin bearing the name Adbhutananda. He, however, spent most of his time in contemplation on the bank of the Ganga or in a room in Balaram Babu's house.
Swami Vivekananda established Ramakrishna Mission on 1897 and Belur Math in 1898. Latu Maharaj with his deep absorption in contemplative life could neither take up the service activities of the Mission nor follow the discipline and routine of the monastery. So Swami Vivekananda permitted him to follow his own way of life. After some years Adbhutananda moved to Varanasi where he lived alone, but his needs were taken care of by the Ramakrishna Home of Service. At the end of a brief ailment he passed away in a meditative state on 24 April 1920.

Daniel Farke out to make sweet music against Marcelo Bielsa
PUBLISHED: 16:20 24 August 2018 | UPDATED: 16:29 24 August 2018
Paul Chesterton
Daniel Farke is unfazed at facing Marcelo Bielsa, the man Pep Guardiola hailed the best coach in the world.
Bielsa's brings his Leeds United to Carrow Road on Saturday top of the Championship after an unbeaten start, following his surprise summer switch to Elland Road.
Manchester City chief Guardiola and Tottenham rival Mauricio Pochettino have both spoken of their admiration for the experienced Argentine, but Farke is relishing the battle of wits.
"I don't take my role and judge it as too important. Football is not chess between the coaches," he said. "It is not me versus Arsene Wenger or me versus Antonio Conte. I am modest, I know these big coaches have a great career and I don't want to compare myself with those.
"Of course, I have my philosophy, I want to win but I want Norwich City to win. It is not about me winning a chess match.
"I want my players to be successful and I will try to help them do that.
"I don't see this as a personal challenge between me and a legend like Marcelo Bielsa. There was a famous conductor and when he was asked how does he create this unbelievable music he said, 'I don't disturb my musicians from playing,'
"I don't put my role as more important.
"Marcelo for many, many coaches is a role model because he is special in his way and unique in his thoughts on football and how he leads a team. He is a great coach and I am full of respect."

Farke is impressed by Bielsa's early impact.
"Brilliant work so far. The team look well organised in their pressing and also the possession-based part of their game," he said. "I wasn't surprised he chose Leeds. It is still a big, big name in Europe and for a coach it is a challenge to work in the motherland of football and be successful there as well.
"It is also a challenge for him to bring success to such a big club and bring them back to where they want to be.
"When you analyse his game he will never compromise, whatever fans or players think.
"He can be stubborn and strict in his view. That is not normal.
"In this business coaches normally want to fulfil the expectations and be praised by everyone.
"He doesn't worry about that. He sticks to his philosophy, 100pc. When you see his teams you can always see what he wants."

Catering equipment supplier Euro Catering has boasted a 'significant appointment' amid plans to expand business in the UK market.
It has added Chris Blunt to its sales team as part of its desire to support dealers' growth and profitability targets. Blunt, formerly area sales manager of Uropa Distribution, the wholesale arm of Nisbets joined as distributor sales manager.
He brings 25 years' catering industry experience to the role, the last five spent working on the wholesale side of the business, supplying equipment to clients ranging from Michelin-star restaurants to school contract caterers. He has built relationships with over 300 different distributors.
Euro Catering owner, Tim Charlton, said: "We have bided our time, looking for the right individual to take our dealer network to the next level and are sure we have found that person in Chris Blunt. We are excited about the future and a shifting emphasis within the business, which will now be predominantly dealer-focused."
Euro Catering is looking to enlist dealers seeking a good margin on a wide range of commercial equipment from European and US manufacturers, including Palux, Italforni, Giorik, Bakers Pride, BKI, APW and Anets.
Going forward, some brands will only be offered to a select few dealers in order to increase their chances of winning contacts and tenders.
Blunt added: "We can supply some brilliant brands down our expanding dealer channels and I would urge any distributor to take a look at these and consider whether they can afford to ignore them.
"Any distributor struggling to make sales, or achieve the margins they seek, with their existing brands should get in touch and become part of our network as soon as possible. The opportunities are significant."

Life is suffering.
And sometimes it feels like there's a lot to complain about.
And it's wonderful how much support there is out there now if you're going through a rough patch.
With parenting especially. There's no shortage of places to vent.
The internets be full of people willing to validate the complaints of tired, over-worked, under-appreciated mothers all day long.
Which is great, it really is. I've needed to avail myself of these resources regularly. Bemoaning to friends and anyone else who will listen about how hard it is, how tired I am, how everything has changed since having kids - truly nothing is the same.
Sometimes it's easy to fall into that pattern of complaint, of acknowledging every little difficulty that's encountered.
And sometimes the good stuff gets overlooked.
So here's a little ode to how good life is at the moment. And it's not about gloating (promise). It's just about acknowledging when there are calm waters.
No complaints today, just blue skies and smooth sailing.
How is your life travelling right now? Is it smooth sailing or rough seas?

On the third day of Kwanzaa, I relate the principle Ujima to the song " None of us are free" by Solomon Burke. I heard this song on a prison documentary concerning a mother who received an unfair sentence. Others advocated for her to be released and she eventually was after nearly two decades.
Some of the lyrics read " There are voices still calling across the years. And they're all crying across the ocean and they're crying across the land. And they will till we all come to understand. None of us are free. If one of us is chained. None of us are free."
In a culture, where people love the phrase " Me and Mines". Ujima focuses on collective work and responsibility. It emphasizes building and maintaining a community together and making our brothers and sisters problems our problems, and to solve them together. I've seen Ujima in action this year with the case of Cyntoia Brown and even recently Andrew Johnson (New Jersey teen wrestler).
Let's continue in the spirit " Ujima" Your pain is my pain. https://youtu.be/eFkmRp_G2uo
