2012 Turnover Analysis – Updated Thru Purdue
Preseason Prediction (Which Is Looking A Little Better): Michigan will end the year with a +8 Turnover Margin (TOM) or better (2011 was +7). The prediction for TOM for M for this year is based on the prediction that M will be a very good team again this year and is not based on the actual TOM of last year. (Very good teams will have a TOM of +5 or better.)
Where Have All The Forced Fumbles Gone?: Yikes! M has only ONE forced fumble in 5 games. The opponents have basically dropped the ball (bad handoff, muffed KO, etc.,) another 9 times for a total of 10 opponent fumbles. It is, therefore, not really a surprise that M's recovery rate is a measly 40% because many of the unforced fumbles are in the backfield of the opponent with few M players around the ball. Last year M had 7 forced fumbles thru 5 games. Poor tackling, maybe? M is ranked #115 in forced fumbles.
Denard Robinson Interception %: This chart shows a comparison of Denard's Int% for 2011 and 2012. It is subdivided by out-of-conference (OOC) and Big Ten games because DRob did show marked improvement last year in his interception % over the final 9 games going from 8.3% in the first 4 games to 4.8% in the final 9 games. (BTW, average Int% for FBS is around 3.0%.)
As you can see, Denard actually finished the OOC this year with a lower Int% than last year (still horrible, just slightly less horrible than last year). If he can get his Int% down to just average, we should all be dancing in the streets. The Purdue game was a great start as Denard did not throw an interception (he also did not throw an interception in the first conference game last year).
Back To Michigan Football: Did you think that M had been throwing the ball a lot more this year? Well, you were right. Robinson had thrown 27 more pass attempts in the OOC this year versus last.
We got back to Meeeechigan football against Purdue with just 16 pass attempts and 54 rushing attempts. That is a 77% run play percentage and only 6 teams ran the ball more last week. In 2011 M was ranked #11 at 65% run play %. M is now ranked #15 with a 62% run play % (M was ranked #31 with just a 57% run play % prior to the Purdue game).
Synopsis for Turnovers: With a TOM for the game of +3, M improved to – 4 TOM for the year (ranked #97).
M added 2 interceptions gained (Gordon & Taylor both got their second interception) for a total of 4 interceptions and is ranked #54. M recovered 2 fumbles for a total of 4 for the year (ranked #52). The total of 10 interceptions lost is ranked at #119. DRob did lose a fumble but the total of just 2 lost fumbles is ranked #14.
Synopsis for Expected Point (EP) Analysis: Turnovers resulted in a net of 12.1 expected points benefitting Michigan but, obviously, did not impact which team won the game.
The folks at Football Outsiders – FEI are also doing weekly "Revisionist Box Scores" that strips out TOs, Special Teams, and Field Position. FEI calculates the value generated by each drive and then lost on the drive up until the turnover, as if the drive had concluded at that spot on the field. Thru Week #6, here is their summary:
(See the Section on Gory Details below for how the adjustment for Expected Points (EP) is calculated.)
National Rankings:M improved significantly. All rankings include games between two FBS teams ONLY and are from TeamRankings except for forced fumbles which is from CFBStats. The four columns with *** show the best correlation to offense and defense (per Advanced NFL stats).
The Gory Details
Details for Turnovers: Here is overall summary for all games by player (data in yellow was affected by this week's game).
Expected Point (EP) Analysis: Basically, the probability of scoring depends on the line of scrimmage for the offense. Therefore, the impact of a TO also depends on the yard line where the TO is lost and the yard line where the TO is gained. Each turnover may result in an immediate lost opportunity for the team committing the TO and a potential gain in field position by the opponent. Both of these components can vary dramatically based upon the down when the TO occurred, the yards the TO is returned, and whether the TO was a fumble or an interception.
Here are the details for the game.
The analysis is a bit tricky because: (A) the TO may directly result in lost EP for the offense but (B) only modifies the EP for the team gaining the TO because the team gaining the TO would have gotten another possession even without the TO (due to a punt, KO after a TD, KO after a field goal, etc.). The Net EP Gain must take into account the potential EP gain without the TO. The EP gain without the turnover is based on where the field position would have been for the next possession if the TO had not occurred.
The expected point calculations are based on data from Brian Fremeau at BCFToys (he also posts at Football Outsiders). Fremeau's data reflects all offensive possessions played in 2007-2010 FBS vs. FBS games. I "smoothed" the actual data.
Here is a summary of the smoothed expected points.
Wallpaper Season - Illinois
Ok, so after a week that saw me put up a wallpaper in the eleventh hour before the game, I decided to make sure I got this out earlier. Poor Illinois, they're so bad this year it's like men versus boys this coming Saturday - hence, this wallpaper idea. I know it's not totally original, but the Illini are just that uninspiring an opponent. I also didn't necessarily want to wander down the path of the non-politically correct Native American references. Anyway, as usual, I appreciate your comments and insights. Also, should you have any ideas for other designs for this week or the coming weeks, let me know. I am somewhat happy with the little Michigan field logo I created to house the team logos. Enjoy!

2013 Big Ten recruiting classes: A graphical representation
[bump: we got guys yo]
This might be one of those things that's cool only to me, but the chart below depicts the current rankings of prospects in the class of 2013. I used 247's composite rankings, which combine those from 247, Rivals, Scout, and ESPN. Each colored sliver represents a committed recruit. The total number of commitments for each program is provided next to the school's name.
I've binned these by 50s, so there's some rounding going on. Basically, if you look under the "1" on top, you'll see a sliver for every player ranked 1-50 in the national composite rankings. OSU has four of those, Penn State has two, and we have one (Morris). The last group ("1001+") represents recruits ranked 1000 or lower or, in almost all cases, unranked recruits.
I had to be creative with the rankings for a few recruits (e.g., JC guys), but I just figured out where their ratings would place them on the regular high school recruit scale.
A few of my observations:
Big two, little ten. For real. Those two programs are drawing from an entirely part of the distribution from the rest of the Big Ten programs.
These group together pretty nicely. It looks like there are basically three tiers. The top tier is Michigan and OSU. The second tier is Nebraska, Wisconsin, Penn State (for now at least), MSU, and Iowa. Then there's everyone else.
- Someone should make sure that Minnesota's planning to continue its football program. One key ingredient for a football program: football players. Minnesota, you might want to get a few of those.
Week #6 Statistics and FEI Prediction for Illinois
Prediction for Illinois: The FEI Forecast for this Saturday is Michigan 34 – Illinois 6 with a 97% Probable Win Expectation for Michigan. This game is a complete mismatch in every category.
Fremeau Efficiency Index: After a large improvement for Michigan during the bye week, the overall FEI barely moved after the Purdue game. The offense efficiency also was basically unchanged while the defense efficiency improved significantly (from #48 to #33).
The FEI is a drive based analysis considering each of the nearly 20,000 drives each year in FBS college football. The data is filtered to eliminate garbage time (at the half or end of game) and is adjusted for opponent. A team is rewarded for playing well against good teams (win or lose) and is punished more severely for playing poorly against bad teams than it is rewarded for playing well against bad teams.
National Rankings: The rankings for Week #6 offense and defense are based on scoring (yardage statistics are inherently flawed). These are simply raw numbers without any adjustments for opponent, garbage time, or anything else. The data is from TeamRankings and includes only games between two FBS teams.
FEI Details: Here are the FEI numbers for Michigan and their opponent ( Football Outsiders FEI ).
Points Per Possession: The offense had their second best performance of the year and the defense had their best performance of the year.
The 2 charts show the raw data for offense and defense with the number of possessions adjusted for "kneel downs" at the half or end-of-game (maximum deduction = 2).
Using Scoring Offense and Scoring Defense National Rankings for the past 5 years (FBS AQ teams only), this table shows the percentage of teams that finish the season with a +WLM and a +5 WLM. For example, teams that finished in the Top 40 in both offense and defense had a 100% chance to be +WLM and an 82% chance to be +5 WLM (9-4 or better).

Weekly Defensive Preview: Illinois
After last week's venture examining Purdue's defense, I've decided to try my hand at creating a defensive preview each week for Michigan's opponent. I will compound as many facts together about the opponent and try to give you as close to an insider look as possible. We'll look at personnel, their defensive stats so far this year, and how they performed against Michigan last year. So here it is - I give you the 2012 Illinois Defensive Preview.
It could almost go without saying that Illinois has missed their award winning defensive end this year, Whitney Mercilus. Mercilus was a unanimous 1st Team All American, a consensus 1st Team All B1G player, the winner of the Bill Willis Lineman Award, and also won the Ted Hendricks Award for best defensive end. His shoes would be hard for anyone to fill, and Illinois doesn't have anyone who has remotely stepped up to that task so far.
Michael Buchanan
It isn't all bad though; returning for his senior year on the other side of the defensive line is consensus 2nd Team All B1G bandit, Michael Buchanan. Buchanan is rated as highly as the 2nd best DE in the draft, so he comes with great fanfare. Buchanan has picked up where he left of last year, being quite disruptive. He has 24 tackles, with 5 of those for a loss. He leads the Illini with 2.5 sacks, and 11 passes broken up (!). He even has an interception to his name which came in the 1st quarter versus Western Michigan in their season opener. Last week versus Wisconsin he recorded 5 tackles, 0 sacks, and was otherwise kept silent for most of the game. Not exactly the game changing performance Illinois needs from him and hopefully we'll see a repeat performance this week. FWIW - he has been bothered by his leg, (he was questionable for the Penn State game earlier this year), so there might be something there.
Jonathan Brown
Also returning this year is 2011 coaches' honorable mention All B1G linebacker Jonathan Brown. From the WILL linebacker spot, Jonathan leads the Illini with 6.5 tackles for loss. He is 2nd on the team in total tackling, with 38, and also has 1.5 sacks to his name. Brown was also injured this year (a trend we will see throughout this preview), he was questionable for the Wisconsin game, but managed to play and record 9 tackles. Similar to Buchanan, he didn't really change the game all that much. He is playing hurt according to Tim Beckman, and gave a gutsy performance though his injury. Those two have been the healthiest performers for Illinois, so that's where we'll stop this section. Let's take a look at the defensive front a little closer.
Akeem Spence
So now that we've looked at Buchanan, let's take a look at some of his defensive line teammates. Akeem Spence is a junior defensive tackle that appears to be a victim of the change in the Illini defensive scheme. Spence does have 27 tackles making him the 4th most active Illini player in that category. However, he has not been very disruptive in the backfield, recording only 2 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks this year. Spence is capable of plugging holes, but so far this year that's about it.
Glenn Foster is the other starting defensive tackle and has been even less impressive than Spence. Foster has 13 tackles, with 2 of those for a loss, and has yet to record a sack this year.
Tim Kynard has been starting at the other DE spot and has 9 tackles, 1.5 of those for a loss, and 0.5 sacks this year. It's pretty safe to say that Kynard is no Mercilus. Even worse than the stark realization that Kynard is not Mercilus, is that Kynard was seen on crutches at the Wisconsin game, so it's likely that Justin Staples will get the start versus Michigan. This only compounds the depth problems for Illinois on the defensive line after sophomore DT Jake Howe went out for the season with a broken arm. Howe was a backup for Akeem Spence.
There is also this: starting defensive lineman not named Michael Buchanan have amassed 49 tackles, with 5.5 of those for a loss, and only 1 sack this season. Versus Wisconsin, the Illini DL starters including players named Michael Buchanan recorded 14 tackles, 0 of those for a loss, 0 sacks, and broke up 2 passes. They didn't pressure the QB much, if at all, and were slashed for pretty good yards on the ground. Expect Michigan to game plan away from Buchanan as he is really the only disruptive player the Illini have up front.
Ashante Williams
Having covered Jonathan Brown above, we'll look at the other workhorse of the linebacker set. Illinois uses a safety/linebacker hybrid called a STAR, and their current starter at that spot is senior Ashante Williams. Williams leads the Illini with 41 tackles this year, has 0.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, 5 broken up passes, and 1 interception that he returned for a 60 yard touchdown versus Western Michigan.
At the MIKE position Illinois started the season fairly young. An injury to sophomore Houston Bates left Illinois even younger. His backup Mason Monheim is a true freshman but he has outperformed everyone's expectations so far. For his performance against Penn State he earned B1G Freshman of the Week honors. He is second among all Illini players with 38 tackles, with 2.5 of those for a loss. He has also recorded 1 sack, 1 pass broken up, and 1 interception.
That is where the bright spots end for the Illini at linebacker, unfortunately. Similar to their defensive line woes - depth, injury, and experience will be a problem as the B1G season plods on. Out of the 6 players in the Illini two deep at linebacker, 4 are freshmen, 1 is a junior, and 1 is a senior; the backups to the freshmen are mostly freshmen. Between the depth/injury problems at DL and the depth/experience/injury issues at linebacker, long sustained drives will benefit the Wolverines as the game grinds on (IF Illinois could somehow manage to keep it close).
(CB) Justin Green and (S) Steve Hull
I will start this section with an update on Terry Hawthorne. For those that don't know, Hawthorne was the Illini player who was taken off the field on a stretcher against Wisconsin. According to Illinois head coach Tim Beckman, Hawthorne sustained no serious injuries and was able to return with the team. Great news for what looked like a very scary situation.
With that said, Hawthorne will be replaced by a mix of senior Jack Ramsey and freshman V'Angelo Bentley. Ramsey has 12 tackles and 2 broken up passes and is a slight step down from Hawthorne. Bentley is very athletic and has the 3rd most broken up passes on the team, but is also a freshman with mostly special teams experience.
At the other cornerback position is "The Observer," senior Justin Green. Green has 17 tackles, 0 for a loss, 0 sacks, 0 passes broken up, and 0 interceptions. His specialty appears to be watching receivers catch passes and then abruptly tackling them for good measure. He was a highly touted 4 star recruit but so far hasn't lived up to the hype. In his 2 years starting at cornerback Green has yet to record 1 interception and has only broken up 7 passes in those same 2 years (!)
Losing Hawthorne takes the Illini from bad to worse at this spot. The only relief for Illinois here is that the cornerbacks probably won't get picked on that much, as Michigan will focus mostly on the ground attack.
A sad safety, Steve Hull
Illinois could really be in a bad spot at safety, had their projected starters not returned, well one of them has returned, I think, wait…nevermind. Injury prone senior Supo Sanni and junior Steve Hull returning to the Illini starting lineup would help this group out, however Supo Sanni can't make up his mind on which limb he should abuse from week to week. Will he play versus Michigan? I dunno, ask me after the game. Steve Hull looks very probable for the Michigan game though. The replacement safeties (Earnest Thomas, Tommy Davis, and
Pat Nixon-Youman*) have combined to record 59 tackles, 1 for loss, 1 interception, and 1 pass broken up. Not exactly a lethal group without Sanni and Hull, and not to say that Sanni and Hull are world beaters, but Illinois is slightly better with them FWIW. Against Wisconsin Illinois gave up a 62 and 59 yard touchdown pass. The big play should be on the table for Michigan if they get past the second level of the defense.
[edit]*In the time it took to write this report, Pat Nixon-Youman sustained an injury, seriously.
Pat Nixon-Youman
Lack of depth, lack of talent, a new system that isn't working, and player health are all problems for Illinois. Buchanan and Brown are studs; the rest of their defense is either injured, confused by the new scheme, merely serviceable, just plain bad, or inexperienced (or some combination of a few of these). Illinois could be in for a long and painful B1G season. Their fans are already feeling it; just listen to the pain only half way through their season from A Lion Eye –
This season gets a D so far. The only thing preventing an F was the opening win over Western Michigan. We haven't been anywhere close in our three losses. Only the second quarter against Louisiana Tech could even be considered competitive. And the Charleston Southern game doesn't count. (By the way, Charleston Southern's losing streak is over. They beat Shorter University, a school that just made the jump this year from NAIA to Division II. And Charleston Southern only won 23-20. At home. Against an school transitioning from NAIA. They're the worst team we'll face in the next 50 years.)
There is growing frustration in the fan base about their inability to get pressure on the quarterback.
109th nationally and last in the Big Ten in sacks allowed. So why do we find ourselves in so many third-and-long situations? And why are our opponents in so many third-and-short situations? We can't get to their quarterback, and they can easily get to ours.
There is also blame being thrown around, as Illinois is not used to being blown out by more than 17 points. For the record, they have been blown out by 17 in all of their losses this year. Once again, credit to A Lion Eye for documenting the last four 17 point losses –
11/26/11: Minnesota 27, Illinois 7
11/12/11: Michigan 31, Illinois 14
10/16/10: Michigan State 26, Illinois 6
10/03/09: Penn State 35, Illinois 17
That's it. Under Zook the Illini may not have been out for world domination, but they usually made you earn it. Illinois went from being a decent running team that relied on their defense to keep them in the game, to a poor running team that has trouble keeping the offense off the field.
So how can Michigan attack the Illini defense? Take your pick, either option is quite appealing. We'll start with the rushing defense. Here is a chart showing rushing yards allowed versus opponent and the opponent's rushing yardage ranking (in parenthesis).
- I gave Western Michigan 0 yards, even though they had a negative day (-6) without adjusting for the sacks. With a negative number it made the chart look strange and I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so yeah.
- The average ranking of Illinois opponents for rushing total yardage is 65. Illinois is ranked 38th in rushing defense, but that comes with the disclaimer that their opponents haven't been very good at running the ball this year.
- The toughest opponent they have faced has been Louisiana Tech (18th in rushing offense), Holding them to 119 yards should be commended, except that Louisiana Tech torched them for 284 yards through the air, so a running game wasn't really a necessary part of their strategy. Also Louisiana Tech has 5 wins and 0 losses which should also be commended, except their 5 wins came against the likes of Houston (2-3), Rice (1-5), Illinois (2-4), Virginia (2-4), and UNLV (1-5). Virginia just got torched by Duke, yes Duke. If you are counting Illinois and Virginia as your quality wins, then using rankings is probably a moot point.
- Illinois is giving up 100+ yards to everyone who is not Western Michigan or otherwise listed an FCS school. Michigan is not Western Michigan or an FCS school; we should use this to our advantage.
- Illinois gave up 173 yards to Wisconsin who has Montee Ball and James White. They also gave up 173 yards to Penn State who has Zach Zwinak and Bill Belton. All of these guys are great quality backs, but Wisconsin and Penn State are also the 86th and 91st teams in total rushing yards to date.
- Watching the Wisconsin game gave me hope that Fitz can take on a more North-South running approach, as the holes that Illinois left open were wide and obvious.
- For Wisconsin, Ball averaged 6.1 YPC and White averaged 7.0 YPC, and the long was only 23 yards. Their numbers aren't skewed by an 80 or 90 yard run, which tells us that they gashed them for 7 to 10 yards all day long. Watching the replay on BTN2GO confirms this.
I present to you the chart for Illini pass defense; each team's ranking is in parenthesis.
- The average passing yardage ranking of the Illini's opponents thus far is 49. On average they have given up over 200 yards per game through the air. Illinois is 63rd in passing defense so far this year.
highlightlowlight for their secondary was giving up 254 yards to a former walk on quarterback last week. Wisconsin ranks 101st in total passing yards and this includes their "Air Raid" attack on a helpless Illinois secondary.
- The only team that Illinois kept to less than 100 yards passing was an FCS school.
- The only team that is not an FCS school that Illinois kept to less than 200 yards passing was [this portion intentionally left blank for future opponent].
Fitzgerald Toussaint 192 yard rushing party! That was basically the ball game as Toussaint filled a major gap when Denard left with an injured wrist. With the stellar performance by Toussaint, Hoke was able to leave Gardner in the game and not risk aggravating Denard's wrist more. A 65 yard TD by Fitz highlighted his performance and his 7.1 YPC on the ground paved the way to an easy Michigan victory. Michigan went through the air 15 times, only completed 8 passes, but got big yardage each play. Both Robinson and Gardner averaged over 9 YPC with two of Michigan's receivers averaging over 20 yards per completion (!). Illinois gave up 139 passing yards, 223 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 1 passing touchdown, intercepted 1 pass, and recovered 2 fumbles.
Your Second Half Quarterback?
Look for a similar game plan as last year. Michigan will give Illinois a heavy dose of running. If Michigan doesn't turn the ball over, this might be over by the 2nd quarter. If that happens, Bellomy should get some snaps, and we should see more of Thomas Rawls. Computers are projecting a 38-14 final score; there isn't anything that I found in my analysis that would make me think otherwise.

This was written for the 1sentence Livejournal community. Go take a look - it's really fun! So here is my contribution of Link/Midna. If you don't like the idea of that, noone is forcing you to read it. To be honest I wasn't sure half the time I was writing this. It's not really beastiality, but then again its not human/human. In the end, I wanted to keep the spirit of it all right, especially Midna. I don't know how well I succeeded but I gave it a damn good try. This, and the fact I can't write pairings in general means that the majority of these can be seen merely as friendship if you prefer.
If you do prefer that, watch out for sentance 8. If I'd seen that prompt in the table before I got to it, I would have used a different prompt table. That was the only thing that came to mind, however odd it is compared to the others.
#01 – Walking
He inclines his head to look at her in exasperation, to which she grins and pats fur as meager consolation for the long trek.
#02 – Waltz
It's almost sad the steps they take around each other, dancing between light and dark.
#03 – Wishes
"I wish I could see Ilia," he says, sitting by the lake; his shadow doesn't seem so keen.
#04 – Wonder
"As long as you still feel small occasionally, Mr Important Hero, I'll stick around for a while yet."
#05 – Worry
As long as he tells himself she'll be fine, then he'll be fine, broken mirror or not.
#06 – Whimsy
At first Link found her flighty humour irritating, now he knows the truth of it he finds it only fleetingly irksome.
#07 - Waste/Wasteland
Though she'd say the deadened expanse of twilight is more interesting, Link can't understand how a girl of any kind could not miss flowers.
#08 - Whiskey and rum
Zelda has expensive taste and Midna doesn't particularly share it, though if Link is as sweetly sharp as the Princess's liquor, Midna doesn't think she'll mind.
#09 – War
There will always be casualties but Midna has had a change of heart.
#10 – Weddings
Everyone, even himself, had thought that Ilia would be the one, but it would have felt too much like an arranged marriage for a wanderer to settle with.
#11 – Birthday
He asks offhandedly "Perhaps it's a stupid question but how are Twili born, anyway?" and Midna giggles, her single eye bright in the gloom.
#12 – Blessing
Obviously twilight could be a curse, Link thought, but it could also be a blessing when it masked his lacklustre eyes from Ilia and made him feel that much closer to her.
#13 – Bias
It's amazing how far he's come since his naïve and humble beginnings, but Midna is most glad he'd gained a bit of love for the twilight over the months.
#14 – Burning
The creature burns in blinding flame and Midna burns happiness into his satisfied smile with her delighted laughter.
#15 – Breathing
Midna feels the wolf's increasingly laboured breathing beneath her hands and tickles him behind one ear until he summons up the energy to bark at her.
#16 – Breaking
No matter what she felt, she would and could push him to the limit, because there was no choice.
#17 – Belief
Link doesn't know what she had started to say, but he hopes his guess is correct.
#18 – Balloon
Midna could use magic to inflate something as small and porous as a reed for a boat across the river if she wished, but it wouldn't be as much fun as hanging on to a wolf's back as he shakes himself dry (and it would probably pop like a balloon anyway).
#19 – Balcony
"O Romeo, Romeo," Link's shadow laughs as he overlooks the city, but he misses her surprised gasp as he laughs himself and jumps for the street below.
#20 – Bane
"Giddy up!" she crows and Link growls, shaking his furry head although he's resigned himself.
#21 – Quiet
When Midna isn't yawning or complaining, Link wonders if it's Zelda's power that caused the absence of familiarity.
#22 – Quirks
As a shadow you see a lot of things that its person would rather noone did and Midna intends to remember all of them.
#23 – Question
Midna so rarely asks questions that when she wants to ask one, watching Link and Zelda as she leaves, she doesn't know what to say other than what she's said before.
#24 – Quarrel
She huffs and turns her nose up, facing his tail, but all he has to do is dash forward and she turns back just as quickly to grab him as she is to anger.
#25 – Quitting
"It's not failure if you take a break to sleep every once in a while," she says and he gives a canine laugh that he was right – Midna's yawns for the past few hours were genuine.
#26 – Jump
He leaps through the air to her outstretched arms and yet Link feels there's something fundamentally wrong with the setup.
#27 – Jester
"Ah, but can you juggle them?" he grins while Midna wonders if she should be insulted that he doesn't grasp the effort it takes to raise one volcanic boulder, let alone three and then juggle them, however witty she can be.
#28 – Jousting
She pats his arm with an incorporeal hand and warns him "Don't fall off the bridge," for all the help that is.
#29 – Jewel
Midna prefers her crown to Zelda's because it's much less rich and fancy, and therefore a better symbol of the duty of her position, yet she has to admit that Link is almost the personification of duty and he's precious to her all the same.
#30 – Just
He disliked her greatly at first – it was only right, considering what she is, even if it wasn't fair.
#31 – Smirk
A single fang glows in the twilight and he smiles a much friendlier expression than the first time he saw it.
#32 – Sorrow
She's not one to dwell on things and he busies himself with anything he can find, so neither notices it until, on the same day in different worlds, the peace shatter.
#33 – Stupidity
Midna remembers telling Link he wasn't as stupid as she'd thought, but as she watches the wolf scrabble on the cobblestones to get his nose out from the gap under a bar door, she considers revising her opinion again.
#34 – Serenade
When she's feeling particularly whimsical, she closes her eyes and pretends his howling songs are for her.
#35 – Sarcasm
"Sarcasm is so unoriginal," she snorts at a shopkeeper who cannot hear her and Link is inclined to agree, though if he showed it on his face, it could cause weird looks and no doubt a chorus of ghostly giggles.
#36 – Sordid
"I'm not the sordid one," she snaps, "I thought you of all people would understand it's not just for me."
#37 – Soliloquy
"Sometimes, I feel like our relationship is just one big soliloquy on my part," she sighs theatrically; Link rolls his eyes as wolves don't talk.
#38 – Sojourn
When everywhere is merely a resting-place, home is who, not where.
#39 – Share
So many people are there for Link and so he has it much easier – she has noone, so there's noone he has to share with.
#40 – Solitary
"How can you feel lonely when I'm right here?" she laughs and pats his sides as though he were a horse and Link thinks how wrong Rusl's words had felt even then.
#41 – Nowhere
Though he could argue that twilight is there every day from sunset to nightfall, it's not really Twilight so Link doesn't feel it makes up for what's missing.
#42 – Neutral
"I want to go to Ordon," Midna says, though it's more of a demand, at which Link shrugs and turns Epona around, though he doesn't understand.
#43 – Nuance
There's almost no difference between her insults about his intelligence from then and now, but Link can hear the fondness in her voice in recent weeks.
#44 – Near
She felt irrationally safe, even in the world of light.
#45 – Natural
Most of the time there just wasn't a need to say anything, when she could do all the talking for him and everything still be comfortable.
#46 – Horizon
"Bring me that horizon!" Midna grins and points at the skyline; Link, not entirely understanding, doesn't know quite how, but he'll try anyway.
#47 - Valiant
A casual observer could mistake Link for having a single-dimensioned personality – brave, courageous and…well heroic; Midna found her initial impression quite wrong as she grabbed his fur to stop herself flying off the cavorting wolf.
#48 – Virtuous
"I'm perfectly virtuous," she said, "because I'm the one who says what's good," and when Link stops to think on it, he's quite sure it doesn't work like that but he won't spoil her fun for now.
#49 – Victory
There's nothing quite like the hug of victory he always gets, even if he can see his arms through her.
#50 – Defeat
She may have lost to Zant, but as she peers up at Link's reassuring and proud face, she knows defeat isn't as final as it probably should be.

FC Dallas is preparing to hire SMU head coach Schellas Hyndman as head coach and technical director, Buzz Carrick at 3rddegree.net reported on Saturday.
According to Carrick, Hunt Sports Group, owners of FC Dallas, is set to hire Hyndman, who the club had considered a favorite for the position back when it hired Steve Morrow as head coach following the 2006 season.
Hyndman has spent 24 years as head coach of perennial national power SMU, where he has developed a reputation as a strong tactician and unmatched recruiter.
What's my take? I think the idea of handing those two jobs to a coach with no professional coaching experience is shockingly misguided. Also, for all of Hyndman's success on the college level there are question marks, such as the fact that despite being the only Division I program in talent-rich Texas, SMU has never played for, let alone won, an NCAA Championship.
There are two coaches who have succeeded in making the direct transition from college head coach to MLS head coach are Bruce Arena (with D.C. United) and Sigi Schmid (with the Los Angeles Galaxy). While these two coaches certainly make an argument for Hyndman possibly doing well in MLS, it should be noted that these successes took play eight years ago. Also, both Arena and Schmid actually won national championships on the college level
Throw in the fact that FC Dallas is ready to give Hyndman the title of technical director as well and this appointment could be a disaster.
What do you think of Hyndman being FC Dallas head coach? Share your thoughts below.
I'm not sure it's time to declare him a risky hire b/c he never won a nat'l championship, but I definitely am not in favor of hiring anyone as both a coach and tech director. I think that's a huge mistake and it'll make him both a lesser coach and a lesser TD.
is austria doing the hiring for them too? very red bull-esque move there….
Seems to me something is rotten in Frisco. The Hunt's and the GM conducting separate job searches? What the heck is going on? Also, I can see giving a coaching position to a guy with no MLS background, but giving him the Technical Director position as well? Yikes.
Hope for the sake of all the FCD supporters that he's an unmatched recruiter in South America, Europe, and Africa.
No need to worry abut Dallas for a couple years.
Al Dia is reporting that Schellas hasn't spoken to anyone at FCD.
This really validates the Steve Davis comments on his Morrow article about the organization being messed up.
1. Two different coach searches (HSG and Hitchcock), now that's screwy and doesn't speak well to the club.
2. Hitchcock is on a short leash to sell tickets–so that explains the firing of Morrow (ie: nothing to do with "lost the club house" or whatever–Hitchcock needs wins right now to try and sell every ticket he can).
3. Both jobs to one guy. I think that's pretty much a dumb idea. Now if someone was a great candidate and knew MLS, I might let him pick the TD and his assistants. But you have separate positions because it's a lot of work.
4. I think college record is deceptive and doesn't tell us a lot. You can recruit well and that play overmatched schools piling up a lot of W's. There are some good college coaches and then there are some good recruiters. I haven't seen enough of his teams against sides of equal ability to judge how much his success is due to talent (via recruitment) vs. talent (via development) vs. tactics (ie: game prep and coaching).
5. The implied idea that he may still want to run his clinics/camps indicates he may be especially the wrong choice. As the standard of play improves every so modestly in MLS, the need to have a coach who is a fulltime coach, scouts opponents, watches film, reviews potential player acquisitions becomes more critical.
I think Hitchcock is being aced out.
As to Hyndeman not winning an NCAA title, you gotta remember, SMU is a private school, and soccer can't give full rides to most of its players, so it's going to be a challenge to get kids to accept partial scholarships. Only 3 private schools have made the Final in the last 12 years or so, Wake, Creighton, and Stanford. (Stanford being a really good school helps.)
On one hand, it's a telling criticism that Hyndman hasn't won an NCAA title despite being the only power in Texas. On the other hand, only commies play soccer in Texas, so kudos to him for building a power in a state where people would rather play football. If I'm Hyndman, I'm running in the opposite direction from FCD, because this is clearly a franchise that has organization issues–he won't be given adequate time to install his system b/c he'll ALWAYS be looking over his shoulder. (Somewhat) questionable hire, but undoubtedly bad situation for Hyndman to be walking into.
Now it seems Hyndman is denying he's been contacted. The Soap Opera known as FC Dallas continues….
Josh–when I moved to Dallas from Maryland last year I thought the same thing about Texas, but the youth programs here are pretty amazing. Maybe I'm just paying more attention to this kind of stuff now, but I don't remember anything in MD or CO (my last 2 homes) that could touch Northern Texas.
As for the coach? I'm not sure why create a TD and then give the title to the coach. I'm hoping Hyndman holds both jobs for the rest of this year, then hires a coach for next. Regardless, FCD's actions the last 3 weeks have been very discouraging.
I'm not surprised to see such a move happen by the worst club in the history of soccer, not just MLS. We never seen anything special, good happen out of this club. It's just a heart-breaking thing to know they already have a soccer-specific-stadium, which makes it hard for MLS to relocate the team. They're so terrible and this move adds more crap to their big list of craps.

Investors Business Daily asks:
"Origins Of War: The latest in a stream of eye-opening Iraqi documents shows Saddam Hussein's regime was planning suicide attacks on U.S. interests six months before 9-11. Why won't Washington get the word out?"
"Last month the Pentagon began releasing records captured during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Among the documents is a letter dated March 11, 2001, written by Abdel Magid Hammod Ali, one of Saddam's air force generals.
According to an unofficial translation, Page 6 of the letter asks for "the names of those who desire to volunteer for suicide mission to liberate Palestine and to strike American interests."
Assuming the document's accuracy, this shows that Saddam's regime was not only providing aid and support for terrorist organizations of other countries. It was also planning its own bombings directed at U.S. facilities and personnel.
As counterterrorism consultant Dan Darling wrote last week on the Weekly Standard's Web site, that would mean Russian intelligence services under Vladimir Putin were better informed about Iraq's terrorist abilities than the U.S. spy community.
Though little noticed by the press, during a July 2004 visit to Kazakhstan the Russian president said that between 9-11 and the U.S. invasion of Iraq, "Russian special services and Russian intelligence several times received . . . information that official organs of Saddam's regime were preparing terrorist acts on the territory of the U.S. and beyond its borders, at U.S. military and civilian locations."
This new document, said Darling, "would seem to refute a long-standing contention among members of the U.S. intelligence community that Iraq ceased its involvement in international terrorism after its failed 1993 plot to assassinate former President George H.W. Bush." Darling cites former National Security Council official Richard Clarke's book "Against all Enemies," which contends that the NSC, the CIA and the FBI all agreed Iraq posed no terrorist threat to the U.S.
Equally embarrassing to our spies is another newly released document from 1999 detailing plans for a "Blessed July" operation."
Even now the White House is preparing a blitz campaign to let the world know what it contended all along. That Saddam had WMD and had plans to use them against us and further colaborated with Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network to attack the US. Further, as I said before, while many conservatives have wondered how the White House could continue to let detractors attack it without firing back, they're about to get some early Christmas presents.
What they say, "Payback is a......"
The IBD article sums up what the documents tell us so far:
"Saddam is heard on a 1997 tape predicting terrorism would soon be coming to the U.S., while his son-in-law — who was in charge of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction — gloats about lying to U.N. weapons inspectors to hide the extent of Iraq's WMD program.
Saddam, in a tape made in 2000, talks with Iraqi scientists about his plans to build a nuclear device. He discusses Iraq's plasma separation program — an advanced uranium-enrichment technique completely missed by U.N. inspectors.
An Iraqi intelligence document, released just two weeks ago, describes a February 1995 meeting between Saddam's spies and Osama bin Laden. During that meeting, bin Laden offered to conduct "joint operations" with Iraq. Saddam subsequently ordered his aides to "develop the relationship" with the al-Qaida leader.
A fax, sent on June 6, 2001, shows conclusively that Saddam's government provided financial aid to Abu Sayyaf guerrillas in the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf is an al-Qaida offshoot co-founded by bin Laden's brother-in-law.
These are just a few of the revelations about Saddam and terrorism to be found in a handful of documents and tapes. When all are fully translated, we're betting the terror links will be clear, damning and irrefutable.
At present, we're relying too much on translations by bloggers and other amateurs. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich., says the White House has been dragging its feet for fear of embarrassing supposed allies (such as Russia) whose links with Saddam would come under scrutiny.
These documents make it even plainer who our enemies are and why we're at war. The administration should move to get out accurate translations so Americans can better understand why we fight."
And there is more coming, much more. For three years the Democrats and the MSM have touted their "No Saddam/Al Qaeda connection", while fuming at the insistance of the Bush Administration that there was. "How could they keep saying that?" they asked.
Because it was true and now the truth is coming out.
Again, patience. When the time is right and when the Democrats and the MSM will not be able to refute it, the While House is going to unleash.

ENGLAND rugby union coach Stuart Lancaster wants to prise Wigan's Sam Tomkins
into his international set-up.
Tonga's new defence coach Dave Ellis said: "Stuart would love his hands on him
right now, with Ben Foden out of the November Tests.
"Sam's elder brother Joel is at Saracens and all the talk in union is that the
best full-back in either code in the northern hemisphere will switch."
I understand whoever signs Tomkins, 23, will cover half his wages —
£300,000-400,000 a season — with the RFU picking up the rest.
Tomkins is known to want a crack at an Olympic gold medal in Rio in 2016 and
that will come only by playing with the England RFU sevens.
GOLD COAST TITANS have pipped London Broncos, Hull KR and Catalan Dragons
to agree a two-year deal with Wigan starlet Matty Russell, 19.
MICK POTTER, Super League coach of the year, is hot favourite to land the
vacant Wests Tigers post.
The former Catalan Dragons and St Helens boss had also been linked to the New
Zealand Warriors post after returning home to Australia last month.
ON-LOAN Leeds hooker Shaun Lunt goes into tomorrow's Grand Final with
Warrington, wondering whether he will be with Huddersfield Giants or the
Rhinos next season.
Leeds are said to be bringing back Paul McShane from his loan at Widnes, plus
they also have international dummy-half Rob Burrow and rookie Liam Hood.

Yesterday, Apple announced a number of features for both iOS and its desktop operating system, renamed macOS, but the one that struck the payments community was the announcement that Apple Pay was moving to Safari on both desktop and mobile.
Just how important is this development, however?
The payments community thinks this is a crucial development, by and large. Brian Roemmele, CEO/founder of PayFinders, certainly does, and has been predicting this for a while. In a Medium post on the topic he noted, "The largest failure point in any web-based shopping experience is during the payment and address information request." Apple Pay for the Web (which for now means just Apple's browser Safari) will solve this in a big way, according to Roemmele:
The speed and efficiency of this 1-click transaction web transaction will equal the user experience found with Apple Pay in-app. It will be like the Amazon 1-click shopping cart is on any website that adopts Apple Pay. Apple pioneered 1-click with Amazon, who holds the invention that Apple has licensed from the inventor, Jeff Bezos.
This refers to Amazon's ownership of the patent for one-click purchases. Roemmele is one of the leading authorities on Apple Pay and digital commerce in general, but he is also an unapologetic booster of the service. His company PayFinders helps users find Apple Pay locations (though nothing says this won't expand to other "Pays," as well).
And Roemmele was far from alone in this assessment. Jason Del Rey on Recode titled his piece, "Apple Pay is coming to websites and it's a really big deal," and noted that this represented a significant challenge to PayPal.
Tom Noyes, CEO of Commerce Signals, laid out several reasons why merchants might be excited by the news:
Why will every merchant integrate the ApplePay Browser API w/ Safari market share <10%? #1 Affluent Demographic #2 Conversion #3 Lower Cost
— Tom Noyes (@noyesclt) June 14, 2016
So it looks like yet another buy button can be added to a checkout page. Thad Peterson, senior analyst with Aite Group, notes that more buttons can mean more complexity for merchants.
"I think it's an important step for Apple Pay and mobile payments generally," Peterson said. "Merchants have so many buttons to choose from, but if you're a merchant whose product appeals to an iPhone and Mac demographic, then it makes sense. PayPal and Amazon can deliver larger audiences, but it's a good idea, a logical idea, that follows in a linear way what Apple has been doing."
James Wester, research director at IDC, agreed.
"It has been the logical next step for so long," he told Bank Innovation by email. "Apple Pay has always been about the ecosystem and adding that functionality makes the ecosystem that much more useful."
But Wester expressed reservations about the user experience of the new service, which requires a second authentication factor, namely Touch ID on the iPhone.
"They're clearly treading on PayPal's turf, but the requirements to use Apple Pay only through Safari and with an iPhone or Apple Watch nearby may limit that intrusion," he said. "I don't know that it improves purchases for either consumers or merchants; it doesn't appear faster or smoother than methods currently available to consumers to make web purchases, and I'm not sure it will improve shopping-cart abandonment. There is an improvement in security for merchants, which is a good thing, but consumers already find CVV codes to be annoying. Will they now adopt a step that requires their phones to make a purchase? I have my doubts."Like This Post

Premier Christy Clark made an unscheduled return to the capital on Monday night for an emergency caucus meeting to deal with John van Dongen's defection, and emerged from that session claiming unity behind her leadership.
Despite Ms. Clark's assertion of loyalty, several other B.C. Liberal MLAs confirmed Tuesday they are weighing whether they will seek re-election under the B.C. Liberal banner.
Ms. Clark, speaking to reporters for the first time on Tuesday afternoon, almost 24 hours after the Abbotsford South MLA announced his departure from her B.C. Liberal government, said she is confident she will lose no other members of her caucus.
"The only thing that John van Dongen accomplished yesterday is making it a little bit easier for the NDP to get elected in British Columbia," Ms. Clark said. She said, however, that despite the latest polls showing her party still trailing the B.C. NDP, her government can still win re-election – if it stays together.
"We are a coalition of people who don't always agree on everything but we all agree on one thing: We can't afford the NDP in British Columbia." She said Mr. van Dongen, who served as a B.C. Liberal MLA for 17 years, made a "bad decision" to cross the floor and join the upstart B.C. Conservative Party.
Since she won the leadership of the B.C. Liberal Party, three MLAs have left Ms. Clark's caucus. Iain Black and Barry Penner quit politics entirely, although without attacking her leadership as Mr. van Dongen has.
But the loss of Mr. Black and Mr. Penner has generated crucial by-election tests for the Clark government in just three weeks time, when her party will seek to hold onto its seats in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope.
The B.C. Liberals are trailing the opposition New Democratic Party in the polls, and with the B.C. Conservative Party eroding B.C.Liberal support, Ms. Clark needs to ensure that her party doesn't finish behind its rivals on the right of the political spectrum. Victories by the New Democrats would sting, but success by the B.C. Conservatives would be a serious blow for Ms. Clark.
So would any more defections. Already, three Liberals – Kash Heed, Joan McIntyre and Randy Hawes – told reporters they are unsure if they will seek re-election. Mr. Heed said he expects to make a decision on his political future soon, adding that he respected Mr. van Dongen's move.
"I'll make a decision in the near future, like many of us will make decisions," he told reporters.
Mr. Hawes, meanwhile, said he is struggling to make up his mind about whether he wants to retire rather than face another election contest 14 months from now. He also offered only tepid support for Ms. Clark's leadership, saying that she is doing fine – for someone who is still learning the ropes.
"She has a learning curve, she's in that learning curve – it's a very, very tough job," Mr. Hawes said in an interview. "And it takes some doing to get very, very skillful at it. I don't think anyone is going to assume that job and from day one be completely … conversant with all aspects of what needs to be done."
For the most part, however, the B.C. Liberal caucus closed ranks on Tuesday with the message that their coalition of federal Liberals and Conservatives needs to stick together.
Liberal MLAs, speaking on background, confirmed that many members of the caucus were uncomfortable with the way Ms. Clark's team handled the defection. Government House Leader Rich Coleman told reporters Mr. van Dongen's judgment was clouded by personal problems, and suggested he was bitter about being dumped from cabinet in 2009.
Mr. Hawes, a long-time friend of Mr. van Dongen's, painted a different picture. "John has served the legislature a long time with honour," he told reporters. "He's one of the hardest-working MLAs that I know of in this building."

This move has crippled the normalcy in Bangalore. The rivalry has come out in support of Governor's recommendation to dissolve the BS Yeddyurappa government on the grounds of procedural lapses of
constitutional provisions, misuse of office for personnel gains and graft charges against Chief Minister Yeddyurappa and company.
Governor's recommendation for dismissal of BJP state government in Karnataka comes in the wake of Supreme Court squashing the plea of disqualifying 11 BJP rebel MLAs and 5 independent MLAs. This has paved the way for fresh charges against Yeddyurappa govt of misusing constitutional positions. The disqualifying of 16 dissent MLAs by Speaker helped Yeddyurappa win the trust votes and save his chief-ministership, six months ago.
Governor believe that it's the right time to rout out the BJP government, meanwhile, opposition parties sneaking it's way to use the political crisis wisely. Hence, it could boot out Yeddyurappa and party, which has come to power in Karnataka for the very first time.
The BJP also launched a counter rally as an attempt to save it's government, shouting anti-Governor slogans and demanding his recall.

Banking & Insurance
A sector undergoing major changes
Banks and insurance companies are undergoing profound changes. Increased competition, downward pressure on costs, new regulatory requirements and the current economic climate provide a range of challenges to be met. The modernization of the sector (new distribution channels, digitization, proliferation of products and financial services, new mobile services etc.) are now giving rise to an increased need for outsourcing and process-optimization.
Competitiveness factors
Retail banks, private banks, insurance companies and financial services establishments are having to manage some major challenges in order to increase their competitiveness:
- reduce costs and processing times
- optimize payment methods management
- digitize incoming data and data flows
- outsource back offices
- customize and simplify Customer Relations
- develop innovative services (mobile and digital use)
- master the risks
- increase operational flexibility
- combat fraud
Why Jouve?

The former Navy commando and author of Leadership Secrets of the Rogue Warrior offers a hard-hitting guide to personal success, offering dynamic, aggressive strategies and skills to help readers meet the challenges of business and everyday life. Tour. Richard Marcinko burst on the scene with his phenomenal #1 New York TImes bestselling autobiography, which chronicled the astounding adventures of his thirty controversial years as a Navy commando and creator of the legendary SEAL TEAM SIX. Three blockbuster Rogue Warrior novels later, Marcinko shared his methods in Leadership Secrets of the Rogue Warrior, revealing the true nature of dynamic, gutsy, frontline leadership. Blasting other self-help guides out of the water, the New York Times business bestseller shows how anyone can apply the skills Marcinko has honed throughout his remarkable career to the challenges of business and everyday life. Now comes The Rogue Warrior's Strategy For Success, in which Marcinko employs his trademark no-holds-barred style and hard-earned know-how to spell out a surefire system for winning in any arena. Tough-talking, straightforward, and comprehensive, The Rogue Warrior's Strategy For Success leads you -- and thereby your team -- on a strategic mission. Your goal: accomplishment and victory. Among the points and principles you'll gather as a warrior in business: Know what drives you. Socrates had it right: know thyself. If what you set out ot accomplish is inconsistent with your values, you're not going to be able to stay focused and committed -- particularly when the going gets tough -- just when you need those qualities most. And if you're in a position of leadership, it's crucial that you understand the drives, motives, and values of each member of your team. Don't get self-satisfied. It's an adage that bears repetition: NEVER let success go to your head -- or it will eventually wind up at the other end of your anatomy. THINK STRATEGICALLY. A sound and aggressive strategic plan will support your tactical attack on any problem, and keep you humbly successful. Be ready to risk -- again and again and again. A sure cure for complacency is not fearing innovation. Stand ready to go to the war of life -- and business -- repeatedly. Don't wait for life, or your competition, to define your character for you: doing it yourself is the only way! Reinventing your life, and the life of your organization, is one of the best cures and preventive techniques for complacency, boredom, and lack of productivity. Marcinko speaks with enormous authority on the subject of success. With rightful scorn for those who attempt to lead from "on high," he puts the how-tos of winning on the line with solid, accessible concepts -- "Rules of Engagement" you can incorporate into your game plan as soon as you read them. The Rogue Warrior's Strategy For Success, as outrageous, entertaining, and right-on-target as the man himself, provides the no-nonsense principles and strategies that have made Marcinko -- the warrior and the businessman -- extraordinarily successful.

New data visualization tool to aid monitoring of progress for the Global Action Plan for Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD)
This new tool presents data on 24 key indicators related to the protection, prevention and treatment of diarrhoea and pneumonia in children under 5 years of age, and 2 indicators on mortality due to the 2 diseases. Through maps and graphs, this visualization tool enables users to monitor: progress against GAPPD/SDG targets for 2025/2030/2040; the availability, completeness and sources of data; the distribution and trends of policy, coverage and health impact indicators.
Maternal Death Surveillance and Response
Maternal Death Surveillance and Response (MDSR) is a continuous cycle of identification, notification and review of maternal deaths followed by actions to improve quality of care and prevent future deaths.
WHO and partners have been working with countries to map progress in implementing MDSR. This website shows this progress and includes profiles and case studies to illustrate the steps countries have taken to implement MDSR and innovative approaches to improve this.
Maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health policy indicators
WHO conducts periodic global Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (MNCAH) Policy Indicators Surveys, to track progress in adoption of WHO recommendations in national health policies and guidelines related to maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health. Interest in the results of this policy survey has increased over time. Three rounds of survey have been completed (2009-10, 2010-11, 2013-14) and the fourth round (2016) survey is in progress since March 2016.
Data, statistics and epidemiology
The work of the Department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (MCA) in the area of epidemiology focuses on the generation, synthesis, analysis, use and dissemination of evidence at various levels in order to inform the cycle of research, development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation and to provide key strategic information which can lead to action and positive changes in policies, strategies, health system, and ultimately in maternal and child health status.

If you are looking for a powerful vacuum cleaner, there is a popular brand you can trust "DYSON" and lately they have introduce a new Robotic Vacuum cleaner called DYSON 360 EYE.
The 360 EYE Robotic Vacuum Cleaner use Dyson patented cyclone technology to provide a powerful sucking power and more capable vacuum, and give you the best cleaning result.
If you're buying a robot vacuum with the goal of having it get under low furniture, this is not the unit for you.
Because the 360 EYE has a taller body than most of the other robotic vacuums on the market. This vacuum cleaner is 4.72 inches tall, compared with the new Roomba 980, which stands 3.6 inches tall. The Dyson 360 in at a 9-inch diameter, versus almost 14 inches for the new Roomba.
The more powerful a vacuum cleaner the more it's drains battery. The 360 Eye operating hour about 45 minutes in between charges, if compare to Roomba 980 that last for closer to two hours.
The next minus point, the Dyson leaves a few spots under furniture that would require attention during a deep clean, compare to other vacuum such as Roomba, it would tidy up during a normal cycle.
Dyson 360 with Cyclone design means it could collect a lot more dirt before its bin was full and required human help to be emptied.
If you want to try this powerful Vacuum cleaner you should prepare a thick wallet. Price: $1,399.00 Get it from Amazon.com

Play Things: Children's Racialized Mechanical Banks and Toys, 1880–1930

The reproduction of racism and class-based oppression are taught to children through various cultural media, including toys and games. Between 1880 and 1930, the popularity of racialized toys and banks were fear-based responses to the perceived encroachment by "foreign and exotic" migrations of African American, Chinese, Irish and Native Americans into the cultural landscape of white middle-class America. This article analyzes how artifacts associated with children, such as mechanical banks, clockwork figures, and other toys are part of a larger cultural structure that viewed race and class as inseparable, and that these objects were essential in the development of a learned habitus that exposed white middle class children in the Victorian era to a racially and class oriented world. We argue that these objects reflect both the times in which they were made, and illuminate the relationship between adults and a newfound emphasis on children and childhood, in which toys serves as symbolic mediators of culture.
