Quick Facts : Boxing Day
- Date: Dec 26, 2016
- Religious
- Also Called:
- Celebrations: Shopping, Outdoor Sports, Donation
Boxing Day is celebrated on 26th December or on the first weekday after Christmas. Boxing Day is a public holiday in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, UK and in other countries with a mainly Christian population. This is a day to open the Christmas box and share the gifts with the poor.
It is believed that the Boxing Day started in England, in the middle of the nineteenth century, under Queen Victoria. This was a way for the upper class to give gifts in any form to the lower class people. On this day the Priests used to open the church's charity boxes and distribute them among the poor.
To keep the practice of Boxing Day alive, nowadays many people donate their time, services, and money to the people in need. On this day tradesmen (Servant, Sweeper, Milkman etc) collect their Christmas gifts in return of their good service throughout the year. Families get together, watch sports and play outdoor games and do lots of shopping on this day. Most shops open on Boxing Day to start the New Year sales.

Wheeling cameras?
Searched, but couldn't find out what I was looking for. I wanted to see suggestions or setups for front mounted cameras showing both front wheel approaches for offroading without a spotter. I was thinking of installing the lockpick and wanted a backup camera and then two front cameras. Any suggestions or tips?
not to offend or really answer your op.
but having cameras for off roading isnt practical. unless you find a really cheap setup that works well.
in all honesty, when i'm being spotted 95% of the time, it just makes me worse and i end up hitting more crap because i don't look at whats ahead.
having cameras for wheeling i think is like those inclinometers that tell you when your flipping....
i don't need a degree finder to tell me when i'm close, i know when to back off.
Don't burst my bubble and then pacify me with sweet pics....:rofl:
I was thinking that it would be nice to see exactly what was right in front of the tires.
The GoPro Hero has a nice feature where it transmits the feed to an app on your smartphone or tablet via Wifi. The only downside is, there's about a 1 to 2 second lag in the feed.
They are a bit costly but are awesome action cams that are built to take a beating.
I bought a GoPro for this reason exactly. It works great. You are limited on what your looking at but the new GoPro that just came out is crazy good. The case is water proof so no worries about water.
Here is a video I posted. It's only In 720p so not as good quality as it can put out but you get the idea
I use GOPro HD cams for my excursions, but not for real time. Love the quality, and rugged design.
Take a look at the RV systems... there are many multi-camera models that will show 4+ feeds on one screen...
I have seen a few difrent setups that people are runing and the guys that had them tend to get themselfs in a bind because they are paying to much attention to the screen and not the trail.
I know there are a few places that sell tough cameras for a descent price and hooking them up to a monitor would be easy enough. I bet you could do whay you are wanting to do for around $250 or so using a different monitor. Dont have a clue if you could do make it go through the headunit or not.
I like having to remember the trail 15 foot at a time myself, it adds to the challenge.

About 10 or so years ago Mr Food had a recipe for a white pie. Mostly egg whites, I believe, but it was so good that we called it Angel Food. I have lost the recipe. It is not on his site and can't find it by searching. Anyone know what this pie is? Anyone have a recipe for something similar?
Graycrab from Monticello, MN
I am not sure on the recipe but why couldn't you write to him and see if he will send you the recipe (01/09/2008)

At a site called all recipes I found a recipe for a Christmas white pie.

Thanks to both of you. I did write to Mr Foods and waiting to see if I get an answer. The White pie recipe is not the same as it was baked in the crust which was Mr Foods "My Own Pie Crust". I am going to try it though as it does sounds good.
Pie crust recipe is still on his site on his site and it is very good, very easy one as it is pat in the pan that taste somewhat like a flaky shortbread. I use the pie crust for most every kind of pie I make in place of graham cracker.
Thanks again. (01/11/2008)

In a saucepan cook flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt,egg whites and milk until bubbling, stirring constantly; continue to cook and stir another 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and add butter, white vanilla and almond extract, stir.
P>Lay plastic wrap on pudding surface and allow to cool; pour into cool pie shell and chill, again covering surface with plastic wrap.
When ready to serve, top with whipped topping and sprinkle with ground almonds.

The 7 Best Uses for Predictive Analytics in Multichannel Marketing
Caesers has refined its customer datato this single view and thus is able to "determine an ongoing level of re-investment for each player," according to Zabin. "The predictive score is combined with each player's profile and offers are delivered across multiple channels—direct mail, email, mobile." When a customer responds, Caesars updates and recalculates that profile. Customer behavior allows the casino giant to determine which offers—restaurant, hotel, slots or a show—will appeal to which customer and how often to send them, he adds. That way, communications can match the fact that a particular customer only travels to Vegas once every couple years.
Kobielus says once marketers build the single customer view, you should use it on all customer-facing applications, including marketing, sales and customer service.
2. Determine promotional effectiveness not only by channel, but also by narrowly defined customer segments, Zabin says. "Different promotional tactics (e.g., coupons, discounted prices, sampling, special displays, feature ads, on-pack stickers, special packaging, events, etc.) tend to elicit different response rates bases on the characteristics of the target segment. After all, different customer segments have different price sensitivities. Sending a 15 percent discount coupon to a consumer who only buys that company's product loses money, since that consumer is unlikely to buy a competing product. Sending a 15 percent discount to a brand-switcher is a whole different story."
3. Notice which customers are already maintaining a relationship with a marketer in more than one channel. Sadh notes that when marketers maintain multichannel contacts with the same customer, it can increase campaign effectiveness because "multichannel users tend to be more loyal," according to her NCDM 2010 presentation: "Leverage Analytics and Campaign Strategies to Deploy a High ROI CRM and Database Marketing Practice."
4. Let Social media data inform your multichannel strategies and be part of predictive models. Kobielus says: "Incorporate social network analysis variables into these predictive models in order to assess how sensitive acceptance rates are to hidden, latent, non-obvious connections among people, groups and organizations. … Integrate these predictive models with complex event-processing middleware in order [to] tie targeted offers to real-time variables such as customer geospatial coordinates, portal clickstreams and sentiment analysis on social media messages."
Predictive analytics adoption is increasing among large companies, no doubt by the ROI promise. How can SMBs take advantage of this technology? Their problems are also similar to large corps, except for scale.
There are a number of applications of predictive analytics that SMBs can benefit from. For example, if the size of the prospect universe is large and SMB's need to pick the best candidates, predictive analytics can result in good ROI. Identifying the best cross-sell candidates or determining optimal investment levels for customers is another good application for SMBs.
However, it is important for SMBs to conduct a preliminary ROI analysis prior to investing in predictive analytics and they should probably stick to less expensive models. Key factors to consider include a) size of the available universe, b) size of the targeted universe, and c) profit potential from each buying customer.

IN BRIEF: Stanton commissioners argue over office position
STANTON — Before City Manager Elizabeth Pynaert was hired as part-time city manager and part-time community liaison, Stanton had a part-time shared city manager a part-time community liaison and a full-time city clerk/treasurer.
Staff changes over the past several months have resulted in a reduced city office staff consisting of Pynaert, City Clerk/Treasurer Lori Braman and Office Assistant Tiffany Kohn. The changes added one part-time office assistant position to the city.
During Thursday's special Stanton City Commission meeting, Commissioner Krista Johnson asked about the position because she understood the position was temporary until a city manager was hired.
Commissioner John Seaman defended the position, raising his voice at Johnson in the process.
"Do you come in here and watch what they do, how much help they need?" Seaman asked Johnson. "You're not thinking!"
Commissioner Charles Miel intervened and asked Seaman to not yell at Johnson.
Johnson said she just wanted to make sure there were checks and balances in the process and a discussion at the City Commission level on the position.
Commissioner Jane Basom said the budget, which Pynaert expects to present during the April 11 City Commission meeting, will show if there is room to keep the office assistant position.
Pynaert defended hiring Kohn to cover absences in the office.
"My biggest concern is the (city treasurer/clerk) would take personal day on a day the city is paying for a conference for me to attend, and now I can't attend the conference," Pynaert said. "You're not going to see your money back."

Both the civil society and the State in Bangladesh are under attack and the world will be tensely watching how successful can the Sheikh Hasina regime can prove to be in thwarting the sinister project of terrorism which has been undertaken on the soil of our eastern neighbour. [Terror strikes Bangladesh capital]
The July 1 hostage crisis in Dhaka has made it clear that from attacking individuals who dare to harbour liberal thoughts, the elements are now fully prepared to stage coordinated assault on soft targets, a practice which has been repeated in the western world and would leave the Bangladeshi State and its neighbours in South Asia stunned and shocked. [Bangladesh is a bigger threat for India than Pakistan]
Bangladesh's stance against terror not yet convincing
The reaction of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the wake of the terror operation made it evident that her leadership has yet not come to terms to such attacks. It is not that Bangladesh has not seen political violence earlier.
Hasina herself had escaped life-threatening attacks a couple of times but when it comes to an ever-growing shadow of terrorism as an extension of an international menace, the Bangladeshi political leadership is yet to sound convincing. PM Hasina said the terrorists are those who had little concern for human life. That is elementary Madam Prime Minister. Terrorists give a damn to human life. Negotiations don't work. It's either you or me who survive. [Bangladesh's political class needs to show maturity in handling terror]
The same prime minister was not seen taking a strong stand when liberal thinkers were being killed at will by those fanatics and acted only after coming to pressure from all quarters. She was perhaps giving more thought to the political profit-loss equation vis-a-vis the hardliner opposition while thinking of putting a strong foot down even though she kept on speaking in favour of free speech and secularism in her country. [The more Bangladesh faces IS threat, the better it is for BJP in Bengal]
It is the Hasina govt which has indirectly made the militants' hands strong
The ruling Awami League had clamped down on dissent since 2013 and jailed secular minds using a draconian religious rival and it helped her opposition---the more hardliner Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its ally Jamaat-e-Islam.
While Hasina should be backing the country's media and actively pursue killers of the liberal thinkers and turn hard on radical groups, she has just done the opposite and the result is for everybody to see. Bangladesh is doing decently on several other fronts but the political failure can eventually ruin all the good work it has put up in the socio-economic sector.
If Bangladesh fails, India will be extremely worried
But these failures of Hasina will have a wide implications for India. It is always dangerous to see your neighbour crumble for it can give birth to a vacuum which can be filled with elements who can eventually threaten your own survival.
Let there be cooperation with Dhaka. But let there also be constant vigil
Prime Minister Narendra Modi needs to ensure that India, which has the longest border with Bangladesh, takes enough measures to sanitise its borders and territory. India's border with Bangladesh has remained vulnerable for it has never drawn attention like the India-Pakistan or India-China ones and this could serioulsy jeopardise the country's interest. It is high time that India starts seeing Bangladesh as a country badly infected by the bug called terrorism and take all stern measures to tackle its spreading tentacles.
India can continue with ties but also keep a vigil on informal relations
New Delhi needs to continue its normal ties with Dhaka but at the same time, it is also very important that it maintains a strong vigilance on people-to-people contacts with the neighbouring country. The cultural affinity between India and Bangladesh makes it more challenging but the former needs to rise to the occasion.
States bordering Bangladesh also need to play their role, especially West Bengal
The states bordering Bangladesh, especially West Bengal, which has a big cultural closeness with the neighbour, need to be taken into confidence in this project.
Assam, where the anti-immigration BJP came to power in May, could take a lead in this but Modi must take Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on board to safeguard India's interests in the east. Our politcians, on their part, also need to beat the temptation to play the populist game of encouraging more illegal migration from the neighbouring country.
Modi needs to strengthen Sheikh Hasina's hands by uniting with her against the terrorism while safeguarding India's interests at the same time. Only this two-pronged approach will help India in tackling the Bangladesh problem.
Bangladesh is facing the biggest threat to its survival since the days of East Pakistan which fought the country's western wing before getting independence in 1971. There could be an Indira Gandhi moment in the offing for PM Modi to sort out the Bangladesh mess. Can he show the way?

All else being equal, a team located in a big American market such as Phoe- nix, Miami or Atlanta should have nothing but ad- vantages when compared to a small-market Canadian team. But all else is not equal. A Canadian city of just over one million has far more hockey fans than a Sun Belt city of more than four million. (See Table 4)
Page 13:
Our analysis controls for the border and we come to a different conclusion: a teams ability to generate revenues correlates strongly with the population of its home marketso long as you control for the presence of the Canada-US border.
Toronto is a more profitable market than Ottawa and New York is a more profitable market than Buffalo. But a small Canadian city the size of Edmonton is a more profitable market than a big Sun Belt city the size of Atlanta. Levitt, in effect, concluded that because Edmonton is a more profitable market than Atlanta there is no correlation between the size of a city and its profitability; instead he should have concluded that being a Canadian cityeven a small onemakes a team much more likely to be profitable.
Canadas six NHL teams are only one-fifth of the NHLs 30 fran- chisesyet Canada generates nearly a third of the leagues rev- enues.
Edmonton, Calgary and Ottawa are three of the smallest markets in the NHL, yet these franchises enjoy arena gate revenues that exceed almost every American franchise.
The rights to broadcast NHL hockey are the most important deals in the Canadian television market. In the US, the NHL does not even have a proper national network TV deal.
Oh ya, and the rinks in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver were built by private investment.
Don't be so naive to think this is as simple as a 'progress v no progress' issue. Scary when uninformed people buy into simple, manipulative P.R. Without the benefit of looking deeper into the heart and reality of the issue.
Scary when you realize that all the owners that built rinks were forced to sell and declare bankruptcy. Yea, that's a model I want to see the Oiler's owner taking. And what about a big city with hockey interested fans? I can almost guarantee a team goes to Seattle if they build a new arena.

Atilia (gens)
The gens Atilia, sometimes written Atillia, was a family at Rome, which had both patrician and plebeian branches. The first member of this gens who obtained the consulship was Marcus Atilius Regulus, in 335 BC. The Atilii continued to hold the highest offices of the state throughout the history of the Republic, and well into imperial times.[1]
The Atilii favored the praenomina Lucius, Marcus, Gaius, Aulus, and Sextus. Other praenomina do not appear to have been used before imperial times.[1]
Branches and cognomina[edit]
The cognomina of the Atilii under the Republic are Bulbus, Calatinus, Longus, Regulus, and Serranus; and of these the Longi were undoubtedly patrician. The only cognomen found on coins is Saranus, which appears to be the same as Serranus. Calatinus, also found as Caiatinus, probably refers either to the town of Cales in Campania, or to the neighboring town of Caia. One of the Atilii Reguli had previously obtained the surname Calenus in consequence of a battle fought at Cales in 335 BC.[1][2][3]
The Atilii Reguli were the most important family of the gens. They appear in the latter half of the fourth century BC, and the Atilii Serrani are descended from them. This family flourished until the first century BC.[1]
- This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.
- Lucius Atilius Longus, one of the first consular tribunes, elected in 444 BC. In consequence of a defect in the auspices, he and his colleagues resigned, and consuls were appointed in their stead.[4][5]
- Lucius Atilius L. f. L. n. Priscus, tribunus militum consulari potestate in 399 and 396 BC.
- Lucius Atilius, tribune of the plebs in 311 BC.
- Aulus Atilius A. f. C. n. Calatinus, consul in 258 and 254 BC, and dictator in 249.
- Gaius Atilius A. f. A. n. Bulbus, consul in 245 and 235 BC.
- Lucius Atilius, quaestor in 216 BC, slain at the Battle of Cannae.[6]
- Marcus Atilius, duumvir in 216 BC, with Gaius Atilius, dedicated the temple of Concordia, which L. Manlius Vulso, the praetor, had vowed.[7]
- Gaius Atilius, duumvir in 216 BC. with Marcus Atilius.[7]
- Lucius Atilius, commander of the Roman garrison in Locri, escaped with his troops by sea, when the town was surrendered to Hannibal in 215 BC.[8]
- Lucius Atilius, praetor in 197 BC, obtained Sardinia as his province.[9]
- Lucius Atilius, sent to Samothrace by Lucius Aemilius Paullus to demand the surrender of Perseus in 168 BC.
- Lucius Atilius, a jurist, who probably lived in the middle of the 2nd century BC
- Marcus Atilius, a comic poet during the 2nd century BC, quoted by Cicero and Varro.
- Atilius, a freedman, built an amphitheatre at Fidenae in the reign of Tiberius, which collapsed, killing between twenty and fifty thousand spectators.[10][11]
- Atilius Vergilio, a standard-bearer who deserted Galba in AD 69.
- Atilius Rufus, a man of consular rank, was governor of Syria during the reign of Domitian, and died just before the return of Agricola from Britannia, in AD 84.[12]
- Atilius Crescens, a friend of the younger Gaius Plinius.
- Marcus Atilius Postumus Bradua, a proconsul of the Asia Province under the Roman Emperor Domitian (81-96)[13]
- Marcus Atilius Metilius Bradua, consul in AD 108
- Marcus Atilius Metilius Bradua Caucidius Tertullus…Bassus, son of the above, who served as a polyonymous Proconsul of the Africa Province under Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius[14]
- Atilia Caucidia Tertulla, sister to the above proconsul, daughter of Marcus Atilius Metilius Bradua and Caucidia Tertulla[15][16]
- Titus Atilius Titianus, consul in AD 127.[2]
- Atilius Fortunatianus, a Latin grammarian, probably not later than the fourth century.
Atilii Reguli et Serrani[edit]
- Marcus Atilius (M. f.) Regulus, surnamed Calenus, consul in 335 BC, with his colleague, Marcus Valerius Corvus, conquered Cales.
- Marcus Atilius M. f. M. n. Regulus, consul in 294 BC, triumphed over the Samnites.

RSS Feed
Definition - What does RSS Feed mean?
An RSS feed is an up-to-date information or list of notifications that a website delivers to its subscribers. RSS means "rich site summary" or "really simple syndication."
Techopedia explains RSS Feed
An RSS feed is read by an RSS reader or a feed reader, which can be either Web based, a standalone desktop application or a mobile application. The reader aggregates all the RSS feeds that a user is subscribed to and presents them in its UI; this avoids the need for the user to go to each website just to read the updates.
An RSS feed is delivered in XML format, allowing maximum compatibility between readers.
Before the advent of RSS feeds, websites sent subscribers email notifications regarding new content. This was not optimal, however, as some emails could end up in the junk folder or mixed with other emails, plus the fact that the emails are formatted differently. In contrast, an RSS reader presents all the feeds using its own interface.

Rob Bradford is joined by Boston Red Sox hitting coach Dave Magadan. Dave discusses a wide range of topics with Rob including Carl Crawford's struggles in 2011 and what the outfielder needs to do going forward, Adrian Gonzalez's power outage in the 2nd half of the season, how Jacoby Ellsbury became one of the best hitters in the AL and getting to work with new Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
And so forth over -- -- finals right now phone WEEI they've -- Welcome to another edition of the Bradford files today's guest of Red Sox hitting coach Dave -- Among the topics we discussed what Carl Crawford. Negative just recently visited down in Houston and you'll talk about profits struggled this year and what you have to do is going poured into the second year with the Red Sox. We also talked about Adrian Gonzales and his power outage in the last couple months of the season. Jacoby Ellsbury is ascension into one of the best hitters in the American League. And Bobby Valentine with the Red Sox new manager who -- and and had no history with before Valentine gave McCall to invite him back in the coaching staff. So would no further ado I give you Dave -- Dave thanks for joining me in I guess welcome back he never left but -- just talk a little bit about the last two months if he could about. If there was any anxiety earth or if you just felt a member of the Boston Red Sox the entire time. Well I mean it was it was strange to say the least the first -- I've ever been in that situation. You know. Could go from the way we played them last month and and and for two months not knowing whether it was going to be back or not people in part right after the season -- You know Roger Johnson and rob Leary in Lego in. I think you know my conversations with the with the front office during that time at the time deal -- still there and you know with them of course and you know they always assured me that you know they would. Give whoever new manager was going to be my their highest recommendation. You think -- look for. Did you did you proceed cabinet as normal in other words I know that. Is really went down and talk to Carl Crawford I know that you are part of the contingent that that looked at suspend this element in the Dominican. Is that this kind of want you do -- -- doing business as normal. Yeah I tried to we're still in contact with the players and and you know I would felt confident that are going to be coming back but I felt pretty good about my chances come back side and one. All of a sudden. You know start from mosque where one remaining in the hitting coach again and so I wanted to at least keep lines of communication -- with the players. And that would mean when Ben called me happy to go down two the main villain in the Dominican players and coupled with -- players. You know -- I think -- a little bit better about my chances to come back. In an effort to call Crawford as that was was needed I think we. We all realize. An organization that he uses he's going to be huge part of the turn around turn things around. Public of important Gordon and have a physical. The -- state government in the Carl Crawford conversations and in regards to the progress he had over the years and we talked a lot about in the adjustments that he's made in and didn't make over the course -- the year. Do you sense that. That he had to change anything dramatically from the from the time he was in Tampa Bay or did he change anything dramatically or was it just one of these rights work. Players get -- in and it interest and work out and he's he's gonna try to continue the same sort of approach that he had when he was for the race. It was I think of a little bit of everything. I think he you know when when he started and got off to the poor start really in the first series. Not that he was pressing -- you know now the start you mean you start asking questions about you know -- you want one for fourteen or someone that boxes and did have a lot of good at that than you know he was surprised by that and all of a sudden start to come. You know. Get two -- three -- every at bat and prove everybody wrong in substantiate the big contract him. You know so it it was a it was a combination of a lot of -- I think he he didn't get a little bit away from what. The mechanics of what you do when and in Tampa Bay. You know he's very athletic hitter into the athletic player. He's got great hand eye coordination. You know when you look at video haven't Tampa Bay throughout the years see you know he change he had a real open stance there were -- wasn't as open their country. Stood up all other content is really squatted down and and we we talked about it than and he was just trying to get the place where -- felt comfortable place. And you know I get I think -- your question I think most of that was. Mentally trying to please everybody trying to. But you know make everybody. You know understand that he was worked for money and you know one in just getting the real bad place mentally and and then just kind of snowball but. You know like a total working in the year. When he got to average up the you know. Sixty in that area. You know when you look at you eliminate that first month that the numbers were pretty close to what they normally would have -- If you -- You know if you would have to some normal for -- and -- them. That's what you get is the hitting coach you know you have to sometimes. Find a way to get the guys look at the bright side and and you know some conflict you know going. From a from a and -- Carl from a technical aspect -- a lot of people look at his stance and his approach and -- what is he doing how connect. That are possibly hit a baseball that way not really understanding that like you said. He had a lot of success and in doing this approach for the open stance from a tactical aspect. Why is he able to do -- why does he do it that way and will he continue to pretty much have that same foundation of having that open stance going for. I think the most important thing I mean you look at Kevin Youkilis and I'm sure. It's be you know like blustery kind of had a little bit of a little bit of an all -- But people look at standpoint how can anybody -- that way the most important thing. Is it does not necessarily so much. Understand from your setup -- Okay is he up ready on time and is he in the right position when the ball up in the hitting area. And you know it doesn't matter what your -- like -- whether you can listen David Ortiz there Carl Crawford. If you're not ready to hit on the ball they are to be head. You're not gonna hit the ball part of a consistent basis and you know I wasn't asked concern that you you know it was part of the conversation how opening was I mean. It's spring training his right foot was out of the -- Open. So that was pretty drastic. And we. You know I I kind of approach shots subject with a good spring training in they wanna make it to be a big -- -- -- to have some -- you know because while Noah you know from public get real -- it's comfort. So on and so -- but my concern was. Okay you wanna be open that's fine. You wanna have a circumstance that's fine you're just not ready to hit and I think everybody that bought -- plan a consistent basis -- just saw how. Inconsistent he was. Being ready to hit the -- the fastball. Fouled off a lot of fastball late chasing them up out of the zone. And then you know try to cheat to get too fast for the chase some breaking ball down the third. So it was it was a nasty combination so. I'm not really sure don't have my stuff for me right now but it it was. Maybe in. Beginning in June late may we started trying to go with that would. A very low strident we're currently taking to get its foot down. And trying to get themselves to where he was seeing the ball in -- -- half with allowing and the drive to the ball. Instead of -- being a real offensive on your heels -- swing or your just. You know you're not drive the -- just kind of making contact. So he. He showed signs -- you know he he and -- Got hot and raise his average from below 200. You know the highest point that it reached you know in the sixties so. But he was never really comfortable with that and that's the biggest difference between being a hitting -- during the year and in talking hitting in the off the during the year you need to make. On the fly adjustments. And you're getting you're having to deal with the results. Part -- being -- hitter you know -- you need hit and you need to put numbers on the board in. You know you can't experiment a whole lot when when you're doing stuff during the season -- everyday. Though. Part of our conversation with a we've -- is so we'll make sure that. When we go to you know those spring training that he hit the ground running at a place where he wants to be where -- -- -- -- So that he doesn't have to deal with the I don't want -- drastic changes but getting himself in position where he's not feeling real comfortable. Why wasn't why wasn't why don't did you identify him as being the guy that. You really says you know I really wanna go down and talked to this guy wanna get them a good place having intimate. Mid season and start that foundation in the offseason our -- our other outward are others on the radar. Who knew we thought were equally as important in terms of media -- Well I mean he's not going to be the only guy that I that I speak to currency. But I just felt it was real important and and then what was kind of the guy that that's spearheaded. You know talk to me and in. Communicated then maybe that was a good idea to get him early in the Warner. One -- these will still fairly fresh from the mine. And get. From some major feedback on what it seemed or of the year the way it -- The the negativity. From the fan button in the media he would never really experiences that much in Tampa you. Pretty much under the radar down here so. Just try to get. -- feel for words had with that. And you know just. What he was stake in as far as you know looking ahead in in. Maybe it's some goals that he might have tougher for coming in spring training and what he warned inaccurate you know it's. Forget about money forget about the contract we just want him. To be the call also that he's always -- not and not anything more and that he does that then and he's doing what we expect. The the other guy who was -- micro managed throughout the course I guess maybe more in the last couple months in the first. Part of this season just because of the success of the aging Gonzales. And a lot was made of there's power dipping in the last you after the all star break but. And having come from the winner meetings and a few people suggests that. It was a product of may be you know he had to get the shoulder ready in the shoulder wearing down enough people who work out the same way here. Or but there was definitely obviously a difference in in regards to the the power that he was able to display and is threat you know last month compared to earlier and a year. Who -- that would that be. A legitimate argument that hey this was the getting back to shoulder a full season with a shoulder. Or were there other things and implied. Now I think. Which you heard the winner means it's pretty accurate I mean that is coming from you know. I had three shoulder surgeries in and I know what it's like it's. And I wouldn't complain every day when I came back from -- more. Utility player put -- and I've player. You know when when you're spending your off season trying to rehab from a major surgery like that in and you know I think he got the spring training and continued his rehab entering training didn't start hitting parts of the middle of march from playing games. I think it wore on them and add this season one arm and you know I'm a believer I know he doesn't agree with a you know when he went the officer -- -- to callables swing. It put that. The fact that amount. Fatigue on the shoulder and and his body in general. He would differ when he came back you know and you know I know he he doesn't he doesn't conclude that he does agree with a third. I've felt different this morning. And then. You know that that's kind of the second half started to Wear on. You know he really started. You know I don't want to complain but he it was it was bothering them shall move bother him in what happens is he start change in the way he swings start. Cheating a little bit to get the ball and you know. When he starts doing that -- -- -- left is left field stroke and trying to get the head out and he's making a lot of outs from the pool side yeah. And you know it's just. -- the problem -- Kind of snowballed from there but. I I expect. -- come in the spring training and and had there's not a better year than that this year and 2000. Well that must be enormously frustrating for a player like him because he he. Clearly he's he's an intelligent hitter clearly works hard at it but this physically and as this you get to the end of the season when especially when you go on through that I've -- slide you're not able to -- acute life. That you have been executing two months before. What could you see that can you see the frustration thumb and like you said you've had gone through it before its oil imagine that. You cannot understand that sort of frustration. Yeah now he was very frustrated but he he's so good I mean that's what makes them such a good team leader he states very even keel. You don't simple helmet a whole lot you don't -- you know point sending discuss sector make an out or anything like that he's. He understands that people are looking at them and you know he's really he's the leader on the thing. Both defensively and offensively so he doesn't really good job trying to trying to keep that you think he'll -- you get. You get immunized we spent so much time together just went down in the -- to the pre pre batting practice and pregame routines. You know he really had to limit themselves he would take batting practice on the field a whole lot the second half the season. He did. You know 90% of the slowing down in the case you thought to be here -- the machine her or just fall off so you really had to cut it down. But since trusting BK is but I know we we talked a lot about the post all star game in the fact the all star game but I think the feeling was that. That was a long lines of that past trying to hit home runs we -- And with other players before but but what you're saying is it was more product of this was an exhaustive experience. This whole thing. Yeah I think rob I think it was more. It was prior combination of the two. Because I mean we -- watching the home run derby. And seeing the ball and hitting. You know seeing them and San Diego and and throughout the first half with -- much involved in training. You know I never saw him hit that many homers to the -- You know he's got enough -- where he can drive the ball. You know -- -- let straightaway left field center field. And seen and taken so many swings. Where you know humans catching the ball. Out why not let it travel but try to hit it out front to give up in the air to report side. You know I just never saw pick them and swing. Like that you know not that he never took a swing like that during. During the first half but who have that condemned and don't just one batting practice session do over and over and over again. To me it can't help it leak in the here. In the at least you know lead in the some bad habits you know record. Always hear him the example Gonzales also probably helps paint the picture of read the in the lineup as a whole and I if you give any kind of perspective in the last for a couple weeks especially in every team gets banged up. You know in a long season by how banged up was this lineup up and down we know. Know what Dustin was going through and regress the foot and you know what he had to adjust but was was -- we're the position player was the bush haters. Where they banged up more than people know. We have got banged up then I think most things going in the last. Martin feasible because of things -- pretty good. -- anything. That's can use your core players who want to apply in every day I get a lot of days off. But. Yeah I mean there were some guys that really had a tough about it you know very had a great last month of the season he was pretty banged up he fired you use use worn out. They quit after we had that double header against Oakland. At the end of August we have the two days -- I think I think mentally and physically guys were kind of worn down you know. He was dealing with a lot of physical physical things that -- Adrian Marco was being lot of stuff so. Don't help with that you know that's what that's what makes. You know baseball such a tough sport it's not only the mental grind for for a 162 games but. Physically get beat up in our travels kind of I mean not that were complaining that. We have what you've traveled with us you know how -- -- can be wounded in the cities will be some coming up we got to play that day in. I mean it's tough for me it's the coaches convention. Port so. The combination of a lot of things. You talk about Ellsbury and before. If for having coach. Must have been extremely gratified obviously for -- ferry was gratifying. But if you go back to spring training and in the things that you worked on in terms of being able to identify pitches better which correct me if I'm -- that was when the biggest things with him right. Yeah of course and and did you see that. As spring training when alive again I think he had three home runs and spring training which is more of the media. And -- any other time in the ball is jumping off a little bit more but could you see this coming at all with the Ellsberg. I mean I saw it coming. 2007. And watch him take batting practice even back then when he was in the low ball the other way in making him. Wouldn't -- take batting practice way he can back and the ball on the way he can drive the ball all part of the field. Are we thought of as a matter of time before he was and then. You know. -- -- -- -- the numbers that he put up last year. And it it kind of goes back without saying about call you know when we use so late. Being -- ahead. Use your hand or allowed to get back to that position where you can really drive the ball in your and you're more or less sitting on your heels. And that's kind of what what else would do. Throughout this personal. For your way. You know he was there were times he would be ready and he would have in his mind. That he was gonna swing at every pitch for the for the -- ball. That's a big difference. You have to be ready this one in every pitch if you're up there trying to make sure to strike. And then decide or to strike in trying swing it you know united drug bought going to be a defense for five point. So the hitter you have to have the mentality that your gonna swing at every single pitch until football. And that's kind of what. The next step that -- In 2011. He went from. He's on the lead off -- wanna make sure swung at strikes and you know of one point Paula Newton in with a little bit defensive. He went from -- being what it -- last year where he was up there swinging first. Still try to get a strike but being ready to hit every pitch and then taken if -- the ball that that's a big difference than. That's what made the biggest difference for well last year against. You know you see him take BP were -- mentality in batting practice I'm swinging every pitch to very purposes is more about the strike. So he's driving ball all over the field. And I get in the game and he. You know okay now got to make sure you strike that you've got maybe a little while and that little bit of defenses that -- I'm a little bit behind the ball and weren't getting back to that spot where he can drive the ball and then. You seem possible -- that way so that to me that the biggest jump in -- You remember the -- do you remember when it clicked on a full time basis -- obviously like you said you could see the potential money could see him maybe doing this once and while. But it was -- in this season where you like he's doing this all the time and this is going to be something that we see on a regular basis. Well I've built -- like he said spring training where we'll play well okay and go you know he's. He looked like he's he's finally getting that. Just the consistency of the and then you know the season started the he got off a little bit of a rough start and and like he has a lot of career. But what he started hitting its stride in mid may late may early June and you know it will. Looking like that consistency. Looking to do damage. Was with something that that he can be you -- be able to carry it wrong so. And then of course would be good for -- it was. Incredible. And the what the other interesting players at least I find an interest in contrasting. Pomp and in the relationship that you had to develop within a short amount of time is Raila Vineland -- armed robbery saying that. When he got back up to the major leagues he was doing the same regiment. That he did in spring training correct in my remember that right there and so obviously that that regiment who worked throughout his time in. In the mile -- an unbelievable year. But in the short time you just it was up with the Boston what impressed you the most about him and what are some of the things that he's think tell you know what he's going to be better attic or he he really should be better at this in the coming years. Part of this quiet confidence. He knows he can hit and you know what you have to do. To prepare himself. -- have success in the game. You know I think he's seen him ten years down the line has -- pardon the -- a little bit. But -- you're right he's very consistent with the continues in the same thing. Throughout the season you know when -- in contact with. You know -- -- there's some and -- -- -- Throughout the year you know they update your -- guys. That's what they do or say very consistent with his work the same thing every day. And it works for him so. You know he's of these very sharp guy very Smart know the swing which is great for me because then now I can have. Pretty good dialogue with -- because. You know. That's the part one of the most frustrating thing as a hitting coach when is when you're talking -- he -- -- -- really doesn't even know it won't swing. It's hard. The kind of have. Good conversation with them this morning so. But. You know he can -- can definitely headed in he really improved behind the plate get from spring training. So they did a great job with a triple and in he's you know I think I think it would be -- big contributor. This this might be a stupid question but did you see any differences in the way of Baltimore approached him in those last two games. Obviously -- enormous game in the second the last game. And it certainly tourniquet -- victories and a little while ago. You know -- mean -- store. But it really. Pitching him in off the played in and you know -- -- pretty battle couple. Couple balls and the bill labels were literally blowing off the plate so. Let you know he. That's just what what teams are gonna do you know he has to to home run came before and I -- strike something different. Just so happened they got about what these are a little over anxious for which I think normally. When he's from the at the top of the game he's not gonna swing vote that is the end of sworn in. But. No electricity he's very intelligent hitter and he referred -- -- You guys signed -- Kelly Shoppach today you have. When when when there are about to sign a guy like that did did you look at and the Kelly Shoppach filmed -- they ask you about Kelly Shoppach. Are you familiar with Kelly shot back at all or what's your role on that and and -- it will you talked him in the in the near few future. I can't say that I had anything to do that. You know obviously I'm familiar with Kelly can -- -- the division. You know -- -- -- in Cleveland. You know what he's done a lot of things and what he's pitching and so that. That's going to be Wal-Mart these bullet. Now there was no. Phone call or any video that are like that and I I think it felt pretty comfortable with. What is. With what we're getting blind you know a lot of guys and open got a lot of history with -- so. Not -- that hasn't happened before me that. Was gonna ask you is there consultation when when there are obviously going to list of potential guys that you can inquires -- consultation review. -- what do you think your viewer your perspective. Now. You know that's one of the reasons I went down -- the Dominican Republic with those guys. In book itself. And but later. And some other guys so. You know feel would call me. You know I've had conversations with them about employers. You know nothing that I mean we haven't really tiny -- there. And topics so. Feel we always hear about in the -- that's what -- port. The last question is just regards to in regards to the new manager -- -- you don't really have any history Bobby Valentine. But you have worked with a different manages -- not named Terry Francona before. What is going to be the challenge in terms of integrating yourself in regards to philosophy. Is in other words our island though if you had another conversation with -- body at all. You know anything about you might not nobody but you know anything about the way that he likes his -- to approach things has he deferred to hitting coaches in the past. So what's what's your take on how that relationship is. It what you gonna have to really go through in regards to developing in nurturing going forward. Well actually we are in contact with each other over the last week a few times on the phone and mail. Because he's -- captioning after we spoke. Couple weeks ago. In the offered to bring me back. You wanna be sent them kind of like a rough outline of what my off these words and coach and you know IE mailed with whom we kind of went back and forth wasn't. You know I think. I think Bobby. We all know that is the that is the hands on manager. And you know I think Hedo it's good if it's going to be an adjustment. On both our parts. But I think we're we're on the same page I think we you know conversations over the last couple days I think we've we kind of hit -- stride -- that was concerned and could the property that really know me and I don't know him and I think in January gonna make the trip down the Fort Myers on the drive right down and spent some time -- If it is important you know we got to make sure we're on the same page he's got to understand. What my philosophy is and I think he's got a pretty good idea he's got a pretty good idea that right now. But they're not like sitting down face to face and you know at that -- we'll go over each individual hitters. You know. What I think makes Baghdad good hitters you know -- -- what is it like when you know when it doesn't like what does not like him. But he's he's very hands on which is fine you know I think it was more. You know Mac you're saying am I gonna bother you follow law. I think Bobby is. The type that it's gonna ask a lot of questions which as far you know I walk. You know he does he does have a lot of energy a lot of positive energy and and its its gonna be different but it's going to be it's going to be fun. Well Davis all Natalie ego but it was. I really appreciate you joining us in Nam the factors is that I think that everyone has gotten past the first month of the offseason and actually looking forward to baseball and then. And I know that you probably looking forward to as well also thanks again. Yeah I think I think everybody. Is ready to actually stock thoughts are talking about pitching and hitting in those sorts of things I appreciate it. --

By definition in Lie Algebras, all roots can be composed from either all positive or all negative combinations of their "simple roots". Taking a modified A.G. Lisi split real even E8 model with 240 fundamental physics particles associated with an extended Standard Model, a particle count reduction (from 240 fundamental particles to 8 "elemental" particles) is determined from these 8 simple roots. Interestingly, by taking account of the particle mass assignments, all known fermions {e/ν, u/d, c/s, t/b}, as well as known (plus the Lisi predicted) bosons {W/B, gluons(g), ω, eφ, xΦ} can be generated with the sum of the simple root masses being less than the resulting composite particle masses (with the exception of the four 2nd and 3rd generation lepton

pdf eBook
Sofort lieferbar (Download)
April 2011
BeschreibungWith unique scholarly analysis and practical discussion, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the relationship between environmental protection and human rights being formalized into law in many legal systems. This book instructs on environmental techniques and procedures that assist in the protection of human rights. The text provides cogent guidance on a growing international jurisprudence on the promotion and protection of human rights in relation to the environment that has been developed by international and regional human rights bodies and tribunals. It explores a rich body of case law that continues to develop within states on the environmental dimension of the rights to life, to health, and to public participation and access to information. Five compelling contemporary case studies are included that implicate human rights and the environment, ranging from large dam projects to the creation of a new human right to a clean environment.

The richness of this Central Coast white is due largely to lees stirring rather than oak. That's the technique whereby wine is made to mingle with the spent yeast cells, which helps generate a creamy, fatter mouth feel and greater length of flavour. This entry-level offering from Varner, known for several much more expensive wines, shows a lovely texture. And the lip-smacking acid gives it excellent lift. An impressively balanced, and well-priced, premium Californian. Try it with salmon.Report Typo/Error

"Hey, Just got your WA book. Rode some DHs around the Oak Harbor area. Great tool. Thanks for all the work you put into it. I don't think we really even scratched the surface of the usefullness that this thing has. Cant wait to cross off another on the list :-)" --Paul G
(Hint: what Paul is referring to isn't Hwy 525 down the middle of Whidbey, which is not a motorcycle road. Sadly some sources will tell you it is.)
At a Glance
"Pardon Our Noise. It's The Sound Of Freedom!" A lot of riders could relate to these words on the sign that once stood -- complete with the picture of an F18 Hornet fighter -- at the turnoff to the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. But in fact, with boring Hwys 20 and 525 chock full of pylons, the only real freedom pilots of CB900F Hornet street fighters can find around here is on the many side roads that make up this DH. If you want to follow their contrails, here's your pre-flight: Twistiness provides some good banking opportunities, Pavement is top flight and Engineering is generally turbulence free. Waterside, you'll find some wide-blue-yonder Scenery but housing flak effectively targets Remoteness throughout. And if you fly extra sorties on the TEs, your flight plan will cover pretty much all the decent airspace on the island. Often, all the island's secondary routes are blanketed by speed- restricting no-fly zones. So unless you're on a stealth bike or armed with Sidewinder missiles, keep an eye out for bandits locking radar on you. Okay, you're cleared for take-off. Feel free to make some noise.
(60.0 ranks it in the 52nd position among WA's Destination Highways, hence DH52)

The most important reforms to deaf education since 1996 came into force today, completely unremarked upon by interpreting associations and the voluntary regulator, even though the changes won't stop there.
Earlier in the year, I wrote about interpreters in the Local Offer and gave a very rough and ready background to the incoming Special Educational Needs (SEN) reforms – the headline was that SEN Statements are being replaced with something called an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan, but there's a lot more to it than that (NDCS have good summaries and FAQs available). Months have passed, and it's now the notional start of the new academic year. Like a lot of much younger people, I'm excited and a bit nervous about going back to school.
Today is also the date that local authorities were obliged to have published their Local Offer by. However, of the six London Boroughs that I work in with my education hat on, so far only three have done so. The other three may now be in breach of statutory duty. They are far from alone, according to a list compiled by grassroots organisation Bringing Us Together – at the time of writing, 91 out of 152 local authorities (almost 60%) present every appearance of failing to meet the deadline.
There is much to celebrate about the reforms and they present new opportunities, which Steve Broach at Rightsinreality and Martin McLean at Limping Chicken explain better than I can. But inevitably, there are flaws. The Local Offer was originally intended to be a formal statement from councils that indicated exactly what services will available to young people with special educational needs within the council's catchment area, so that they, their families and carers would be more able to make informed decisions about their support. That's vital, as some families will now have the choice of being directly involved in planning the use of a "personal budget" under the more unified "single assessment" approach to support in education, health and care (despite some serious legal loopholes which might allow authorities to wriggle out of it). From now on, it's possible that parents and young people could be directly involved in recruiting, managing and financing the communication support for deaf school and college kids and teenagers, either by accessing local service providers or, in theory, bypassing them completely. It's going to be a new market – the question is, who or what is going to control that market? Freelance interpreters? The "regulator"? Public sector services? Or, as usual, the private Deaf Industry?
Despite much insistence that the Local Offer is "not just a directory", that appears in most cases to be exactly what it is. Somewhere along the line, the senses of obligation, duty, and social justice have ebbed: the rhetoric is peppered with qualifiers such as "hoped that", "intended to" and the brassily optimistic "expected that". Councils can list resources, services and "outcomes" which voluntary sector organisations provide with no funding or other input from the local authority and whose prospects for continued existence are entirely unmonitored and not guaranteed, and then count that as a service that "is provided". There is also nothing to stop a Local Offer describing something which should or could exist but, in reality, doesn't. It doesn't matter if it's impossible for families to access a non-existent professional or service because they have no automatic right to access any specific service anyway: welcome to the psychotic logic of the Big Society.
The empty category
Top of the list of things that don't really exist are qualified interpreters in deaf education. Here is a comprehensive list of links to what the voluntary register, professional associations and union branch for sign language interpreters have to offer, outside of any paywalls, on the incoming changes in working conditions for professional interpreters in person-centred education, and general information or campaigns about interpreting in education:
|Resources on SEN reform/
educational interpreting in general
|The National Register of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People (NRCPD)
|The Association of Sign Language Interpreters (ASLI)
|Visual Language Professionals (VLP)
|The National Union of British Sign Language Interpreters (NUBSLI)
Barring a muffled squeak or two about "standards", all of the organisations listed above are completely uninvolved. Their collective influence in the education field is utterly marginal, their "standards" are completely unrecognised, and it would make no difference to deaf education services if they all disappeared off the face of the earth tomorrow (something which more than one of them appears hell-bent on achieving).
How many interpreters are regularly at work in the education field? We know from CRIDE's work that the total number of "full time equivalent posts" in communication support for compulsory education is reported by local authorities to be in the low hundreds, against a sign language using student population of roughly 3,300 – but we don't know how many of those students are currently going without any human communication support at all. CRIDE uses an extremely broad category for "communication support", but we can legitimately extrapolate from the BATOD Deaf Education Support Forum's research in 2010 that less than 1% of the staff working with students at that time were fully qualified interpreters (and that was back when the term "austerity" was more closely associated with interior design than anything else). We also know from CRIDE and NRCPD's statistics that deaf sign language users in compulsory education currently outnumber registered interpreters by about three to one, and that's not counting anyone in Further and Higher Education (literally: no-one counts them).
So in the mid twenty-teens, the real graft is being thanklessly done with scant resources, as it ever was, by Teachers of the Deaf, note-takers and the black sheep of the interpreting family, Communication Support Workers.
Tic-tac-toe with WOPR on the Kobayashi Maru
CSWs can essentially do nothing right: the interpreting elite have had them running back and forth for about 20 years, like runty kittens trying to catch a sadist's laser pointer. CSWs approached professional associations for support, and were told to go away and come back when they'd trained as interpreters, which is essentially what they were asking for support with. After having the door shut in their faces, they were then smeared for not having professional representation or national support networks, so they set those up and were then slated for that. They endured constant criticism for not having any "standards" or regulation, but when they tried to work with awarding bodies and regulators towards achieving it, it was suddenly the wrong thing to do. They are completely misrepresented as not undertaking any CPD, supervision or reflective practice, despite the fact that CSWs are public sector workers in education, the field which practically invented those things (in all their performative glory); furthermore CSWs are far more likely to have been undertaking them as a compulsory condition of their employment (and since well before the current voluntary regulator was a gleam in anyone's eye) than many contract-shunning freelance interpreters.
There are a handful of axe-grinding interpreters, and even the occasional Deaf politician, who would like nothing better than to exterminate CSWs, but strangely these people have absolutely nothing to say on the practical issue of where we might find the approximately £15-20 million in start-up costs it would cost to issue every Deaf student in compulsory education with their own brand new qualified interpreter (at current industry rates, and assuming that there are 3,300 people with a Level 3 BSL certificate just hanging around waiting to begin two or more years of training – I suppose you might get it down into the single digit millions if you cut a lot of corners).
For a long time, all this institutionalised bullying seemed unfair to me and it was the source of a lot of anger and self-esteem issues, and I know I'm far from alone in experiencing that. Those feelings actually got worse when I became a qualified interpreter. Today my reaction to it is much simpler: I feel relief. It's because the deck is stacked against CSWs, because the double standards are so blatantly obvious, that I am morally free to simply disengage from the neurotic world of hyperprofessionalised interpreters and leave them to turn on each other. In some games, the only winning move is not to play by other people's rules.
Like it or not, CSWs are the future. Fortunately there are some interpreters who are ready to knuckle down with joining them and supporting them. I expect that the Local Offer will be even slower to depart than it was to arrive: thanks to the current and previous governments, the marketisation of the public sector is clearly here to stay, and in education it will be the experts – experienced CSWs – who will be smugly picked off the shelf while interpreters are still running around splitting themselves into ever-smaller factions.
And even if you couldn't give two hoots about education, just remember that the SEN reforms, with their Education, Health and Care Plans, are a unified approach to social services, and now apply up to age 25. It's not the speediest of reforms – all students currently in receipt of support need to be on an EHC Plan by April 2018, except for those currently in Further Education, where government wants it done by September 2016 (source: DfE guidance).
We need to wake up. This isn't going to be just about education for much longer.

VIDEO: Introducing the £30m man that Louis Van Gaal is desperate to being to Man United
LOUIS VAN GAAL is desperate to bring Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman to Manchester United - and here's everything you need to know about him.
The 24-year-old has spent months on the treatment table but that hasn't put off the new United boss.
Dutchman Strootman, whose cruciate ligament injury has ruled him out of the World Cup, will set United back around £30m.
Strootman is one of a number of players Van Gaal is lining up.
United could also move for Luke Shaw, William Carvalho and Mats Hummels as he bids to strengthen his squad.
However, a move for Cesc Fabregas looks unlikely. The Spaniard is moving closer to a Chelsea switch.
