Home and Recuperating!
Quan was SO happy to come home. He was a little too happy because he became too rambunctious and fell and hit his mouth. We are really going to have to watch him like a hawk. The doctor had said he could do whatever he feels like doing, but I'm not sure Dr. Grant knows how ACTIVE he is. We are limiting his activity for at least this first week to make sure we have no more accidents! We did take him to the soccer field this morning so I could watch Clay and Carlie play, but he just sat listlessly in his stroller and watched. I think that will be his only outing for the weekend!
Quan is truly a champ. He has been so brave and tolerant. His first night was restless and he woke crying some, but he was easily settled down. We put his arm splints on for his first night to keep his hands out of his mouth while he sleeps. He put them on without a fight, but he looks so sullen when he has them on. Anytime he is unsupervised we have to put them on to make sure he doesn't stick toys or anything in his mouth. The arm splints really calm him down because he feels like he can't play. I'm sure he will get used to them. When he gets to take them off he is so happy!
His pain has been tolerable--we have been keeping him on a regimen of alternating tylenol and motrin every 3 hours. Last night he started to run a fever but it never reached the point where we would have to call the doctor (101.5). His nose has been bleeding a lot and I am constantly wiping it. I wonder if he might have a bit of a sinus infection on top of healing, because Kimmie had a cold/fever earlier this week. Last night was more restless than Thurs. night and I think tonight is going to be Daddy's turn to sleep with the little mister. By the way, did you know a 37 yr. old CAN fit into a toddler bed with a two year old? Yes, it's like putting #2 pencils into a matchbox, but it can be done!
All in all I think his recovery has been amazing! Totally God! Thank you all so much for praying! I wish I could give you all a big hug right now. I am WAY behind on emails, so thank you for being patient for my replies! I am so thankful for Mandy's details in her comment about Quan in the recovery room. Mandy you truly are sent by God for such a time as this! THANK YOU! We could feel God's grace (and still do) being poured out upon us during this time! May He gain glory--His works are so wonderful!

Just starting your Glen Allen self storage search? There are a few things you should know.

In order to give you a better idea of these factors in Glen Allen, we pulled in data from the US Census.
Housing unit occupancy can give us an idea of what the demand is like for living and storage space in Glen Allen.

How to Connect a Ceiling Fan & a Separate Light to One Switch
You'll have more control over your ceiling fan and lights if they are switched separately. But if you are determined to control them on one switch, even though you would not be able to control the fan or its speed separately, you can do so. A basic technique called pigtailing allows you to join the wires needed in the switch box. Learning how to pigtail augments your basic wiring skills. If you have doubts about your ability to complete the project, have a licensed electrician perform the job or inspect your work immediately upon completion.
Turn off the circuit breaker controlling the circuit to the ceiling fan, the light and their switch. Remove the switch cover by unscrewing its small screw. Double-check that you have cut off the electricity correctly by holding a non-contact circuit tester within 1 inch or so of the wiring in the switch. The absence of chirps or blinking lights on the tester means it is safe to proceed.
Unscrew the switch at the top and bottom from the ears on the switch box, and pull it and its attached wires, bringing electricity from the circuit breaker, out of the switch box. Remove the wires attached to the switch by unscrewing them from a terminal screw or pressing a screwdriver in a marked slot to release them from the push-in holes. Straighten with pliers the stripped ends of the wires if they were earlier wrapped around the terminal screw.
Cut from a scrap piece of cable matching the gauge of the existing circuit a 6-inch length of black and white insulated wire, and an uninsulated neutral wire. Strip 3/4 inch of insulation from each wire end with a wire stripper or multipurpose tool, being careful to encircle, cut and push off the insulation without nicking the copper wire underneath.
Create a four-wire pigtail splice by lining up the stripped ends of the black pigtail with those of the black wire carrying electricity from the circuit breaker and the black wires going to the fan and the light, which exit the switch box through an upper knockout hole.
Twist clockwise with a set of pliers the grouped wires. Test the physical connection by tugging on each wire. Untwist and retwist if any are loose. Twist a twist-on wire connector clockwise onto the wire ends. Repeat for the white and neutral wires.
Screw or push the pigtails into the appropriate connectors on the switch -- black to the "hot" connector and white to the remaining connector. Screw the neutral pigtail to the neutral screw on the lower corner of the switch.
Fold the pigtails and connected wires neatly into the switch box. Reattach the switch to the ears of the box and the switch cover. Flip on the circuit breaker, and turn on the switch to test whether the ceiling fan and separate light work. Troubleshoot any problems by turning off the circuit breaker and opening up the switch. Tug on the wires looking for any loose ones, or replace the switch to eliminate the problem.
Things Needed
- Non-contact circuit tester
- Screwdriver
- Wire stripper or multipurpose tool
- Scrap electric cable
- Twist-on electrical connectors
- Pliers
- California's electrical code, in a section on "Wiring in Electrical Boxes," requires the use of a switch box large enough to easily accommodate the cables entering and exiting the box. If you have trouble fitting the wires in the box, install a larger size before proceeding.

Sorry for being so MIA lately, we've been out of town. One of our dearest friends got married this past weekend in Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe is one the most beautiful places I've been to in this country. We had an absolute blast. In Tahoe, there is never a cloud in the sky! The bride's parents have a home in Northstar, we'd been there before but hadn't seen the newly developed Village. As soon as we arrived I couldn't stop staring at this quilted wooden wall behind the reception desk. It took my breath away. Fine design is all over the place.
I'm taking off again out of town tomorrow and will try to pop in here and there with more inspirational iphone pics!

Team Sportstar 16 January, 2017 16:47 IST Chennai City practising ahead of its I-League encounter against DSK Shivajians. - V.

Chennai's coach Robin Charles Raja looks ahead to this fixture optimistically and doesn't hide his emotions, "There are no suspensions. We've come into this match with lots of positivity. Hopefully, we win tomorrow's match." He added, "We want to play a positive football.

It is more like Chennai City will bring in more players based on the state and the city, and known as the real Chennai." Meanwhile, DSK Shivajians Manager Dave Rogers said, "Tomorrow is another big game, and there are no easy games in the league as I have said before. We are looking forward to it and welcoming Chennai City F.C. to the Balewadi. We are disappointed with the two results we have had."

HISTORY OF CULTURE | Kubu Tribe Adaptation Strategies In Environmental Change | Environmental changes in Jambi province has been taking place since mid 1970. Land clearing for a production forest (HTI), transmigration settlements, the development of plantation agriculture, improved road infrastructure, forest fires and forest clearing carried out continuously has led to environmental degradation in the lowlands of Jambi. Like for example the data in late 1997 found that oil palm plantations has reached 24% of land area in the Province. Jambi, or about 40% of non-forest areas. The following is a transmigration project other projects that follow (such as oil palm plantation project, settlements, roads, etc.), according to Bohmer widely affect environmental change in the lowlands of Jambi. The projects according to Bohmer has changed the functions of forests from primary forests to plantations and residential areas. (Kevin Bohmer, 1998).
Meanwhile, Jungle People who live in some areas, before the two options in life that is lived in a state of extreme marginalized in situ or completely displaced because they have lost their forest resources and land. Some groups The Wilderness has undergone a change in activities that were once based it on subsistence gathering activities-hunting, farming, and business gathering of natural resources to the agricultural business of rubber and services. Rubber farms are farms that have been long done by The Malays in Jambi area. Rubber farming has become the primary choice Rimba people, compared with oil palm plantations. Despite the efforts of governments to engage them in the PIR. Rubber farming has made the Jungle People have been doing considerable intensification of real resources and increase the productivity of their workforce (Sandbukt & Warsi, 1998.24). The main problem then arises to the Jungle People who raise the quality of rubber is the quality of their low latex and rubber production quantities are limited when compared with rubber Malays.
Some groups of other Jungle People, among others that no longer have land, basing life to service businesses, such as wild boar hunting effort (by the palm growers and companies, wild boar are considered as pests), take the rubber seedlings for later sale, rubber tapping workers , rubber transport workers, or even from begging. Besides, there are working in the timber business as a laborer ongkak, surveyors, chainsaw operators, guards, etc. log-pond. Timber businesses, both legal and illegal, for they simply provide a lucrative profit. Because they will receive the award in the form of money that they can use to buy their needs (Sandbukt & Warsi, 1998, 4).
Changes in the activity of these forms of production, does not occur in all groups and make them permanently abandon entirely their subsistence activities. As The Jungle at TN Hill 12 for example, in addition to hunting-gathering and farming, they are also working on some wood toke. Or even have people who work entirely in Wilderness company without any subsistence activities. Forest product collection effort also occasionally they do when there is market demand. Another example is the life of The Jungle in TNBT who based almost entirely to the business of collecting forest products, because the forest is still relatively good (Sandbukt & Warsi, 1998).
Even so, without any condition of forest resources and land as above lead to some groups of people in the western region Prop Wilderness. Edinburgh has a view of the future and opportunities to secure agricultural resources by developing it's top rubber. Besides they viewed rubber as the primary key to future economic prosperity, rubber plantations for them is also a guarantee of security of land they own. Woods for People who have gardens between oil palm and rubber sandwiched between transmigrants public lands or gardens Malays, tend to maintain relatively intensive and even maintain a secondary crop between rubber trees there. An activity that is rarely done by several groups The Wilderness existing other areas (TNBT & Hill TN 12) (Sandbukt & Warsi, 1998).
Ecologically, The Wilderness living spread over three different areas in the lowlands of Jambi province. Namely in the area of ??the western province of Jambi (Sumatra's east around the causeway), Bukit 12 National Park and Bukit Tigapuluh National Park (located on the border between Riau - Jambi). Indeed, compared to two other areas, namely around the causeway east of Sumatra and Bukit Tigapuluh National Park, Bukit 12 National Park is arguably the center of "culture" The Jungle. Not less than 1046 souls that dwell there on the Mount 12 of 2670 The soul of the existing forest in Jambi. The rest of 1524 people or 60% being around Hill 30 and rubber plantations and oil migration around the causeway east of Sumatra, Padang - Lampung. Noted that there were 1259 people living in the western province of Jambi. (Sandbukt & Warsi, 1998). Of the two locations mentioned above, namely TNBT & Bukit 12 National Park, western region Prop. Edinburgh is the area most likely to have a change, because this area of ??the allotment of land used for the location of transmigration and oil palm plantations.
The Jungle of Life does have kerterkaitan closely with the natural environment. For example, appear in their subsistence activities, namely remayow (hunting-gathering) and behuma (farming). Both of these subsistence activities are putting the forests and the environment as the basis for its management. In addition to the subsistence activities, the Forest People as people who have high levels of residential mobility, by Øyvind Sandbukt said to be the spearhead of the trade in Jambi Malay sultanate of Malacca Strait a few centuries ago. People who live dihulu Jungle small rivers which are central to S. Batanghari in Jambi and S. Musi in Palembang, is a seeker of forest resources (porridge, rattan, resin, aloes, & Balam) formidable (Sandbukt, 1991).
As collectors of forest resources, they are part of an integrated system with bureaucratic structures Jambi Malay sultanate at that time. Bureaucratic system was introduced to them. In the bureaucratic structure, they introduced a system of porridge. The main functions of molten metal (the Malays who became a liaison between The Wilderness and the outside world) is actually collected taxes (colonize) the earth, and resolve various issues of local level conflict. Porridge and inheritance as if has become the entrance to their world. How to get jajah / taxes by running the hand over or mempertukaran produce goods with merchandise from the outside, such as cloth, tobacco, and sugar.
The relationship of this Jungle and outsiders (in this case had been represented by the heirs & porridge) is not profitable for them. By Sandbukt then be said that the activity of collecting forest resources Forest People is seen as a form of their subsistence mode for wide influence on the lives (Sandbukt, 1991, 110) (Sandbukt, 2001). But according to The Wilderness Person ultimate goal for collecting forest resources, is actually not based on meeting the needs of subsistence, but rather refers to the exploitation of natural resources in the interest of trade or external exchange. (Person, 1989, 508). Style of their livelihood is based on this economic activity, has a resemblance to the lifestyle Poenan. Like what is expressed by Carl F. Hoffman, that the Punan people base their lives on the collection of forest products, rather than on hunting activities (Carl Hoffman, 1985).
Besides the natural environment (forest) serves as the basis for subsistence and economy, natural environment around also has cultural significance for them. Cultural meaning is for example reflected in the identity or their identity as The Wilderness. In his view the human world, The Jungle divide the dichotomy between the faction and the Malays. Definitions The Malays they kaitakan with the basic concepts withered. Withered diassosiasikan with animals natong-withered or hedgehogs, the animals are dangerous, uncertain arrival, and amazing. The animal was considered remarkable for Persons Wilderness because it is all the sudden arrival of its path and makes plants die or wither. There are similarities between natong connotation wilt and the Malays. The Malays, can be seen from the Me-Wilt, which means people who bring destruction and disaster. This is evidenced by the forms of abstinence for the outsiders who diassosiasikan as Malays and Muslims.
Malays are defined as those who dwell outside the forest, living in villages and Muslim. For The Jungle outside the forest area is considered the area that is always bright, sunny, away from the dark forest. So then they call the Malays as the light, or someone who has always lived in the open air. In contrast to them, Jungle People who live in the woods. Forests then has been a region full of their authority. Village or the outside world, for the Forest People is the full authority of the Malays. Distinction authority area is then reflected into the identity and other forms of forest resource management by Forest People on their own, as people who live in the forests and The Malays as bright or people who live in the world outside (Sandbukt, 1984, 85 -87).
Another example of cultural significance of forests for the Forest People look them in the world of cosmology. Jungle people divide the world universe, in halom nio (today's world where they are, ie forests where they live) and halom dewo (the world where the gods are). Jungle people accept the world as the real world dewo there, even more real than the forest as the world they live in today, namely halom nio. They saw the forest as a world or halom Antonio as a place of their residence and this life or the world is a world tiruon imitation of the real real world, namely halom dewo. Two of the world they also symbolize the concept of a rough world (forests) vs. aluy world (the world's god), which significantly opposite but not necessarily opposed, because the two worlds they can work in harmony. This knowledge has become the cultural values ??that serve as guidelines and patterns in the Jungle People treat the surrounding natural environment that materialized later in the custom rules they have to keep an appropriate balance between the natural and the artificial nature deities (Sandbukt, 1984, 89 ).
Between Forms of Production and Practice The Jungle
The basic assumption of culture as an adaptive system evolved from understanding the nature of evolution, which always saw human beings always try to fit in with the surrounding natural environment, both biologically / genetically and culturally. The process involves the selection of adaptation in the evolution of genetic and cultural variants that are considered as the best way to solve the environmental problems faced. Adaptation is a dynamic process because both the organism and the environment itself nothing is constant Hardestry ,1977,45-46). Roy Ellen's stage adaptation divide into 4 types of phylogenetic stages of working through an individual's genetic adaptation through natural selection, physical modification of the phenotype / physical characteristics, learning processes, and cultural modifications. Cultural modifications for Ellen to be supreme for homo sapiens, in which the cultural adaptation and transmission of information as the giver to say the specific character of the dominant, so then the focus of attention focused on the learning process of adaptation, and modification of culture (Roy Ellen, 1982, 236-237).
The concept of adaptation is a key mechanism in the evolutionary process that draws on the success, the measurement of human ability to reproduce and survive. Populations of organisms are expected to achieve an effective relationship with their habitat or to be adaptive to the habitat that can be served to perpetuate forms of life. Dilakukakan new adaptation by humans if the relationship with the perceived habitat conditions are no longer effective. Human cultural adaptation has indeed been brought increased freedom in human beings from the constraints of its habitat. The concept of level of technology development and adaptation refers not only on technology but also on the configuration of institutions and social relations that correspond to each of the effectiveness of the use of specific energy systems (Cohen,).
Adaptation in addition to focusing on social groups, also focus on the individual. According to Ellen Roy, group (institution / organization) can not be directly observed because they are an abstraction of individual behavior were observed. Adaptation as a group is a product of individual or cumulative adaptation manipulative adaptation of powerful individuals or collectively in the group. Adaptation occurs through cumulative practice of individuals. Adaptive responses of individuals being studied can be transmitted to others independently carrying properties (Roy Ellen, 1982: 237-238). Behavioral responses are considered to have high-speed response and specifically adjust to fluctuations in environmental changes.
Compared to the adaptive process that is genetically and physically, the behavior is considered the most rapid response of what organisms can do. When referring to the process of learning, behavioral responses were considered also is the most flexible adaptation levels. The key concept of social adaptation at the level of individual later developed into adaptive behavior, strategic actions and sistensis of both the so-called adaptive strategy. Adaptive behavior is a more general term and refers to forms of behavior that fit the goals, the achievement of satisfaction, and decision. Strategic actions, are considered more specific and refers to the special interests that belongs to the actor. Own strategic actions contained in the concept that enveloped like rationality, maximization, achievement orientation, etc.. Adaptive strategy is also a component of the action strategies or specific actions by the level of predictive success, which are selected by the individual in determining his decision (Ellen, 1982, 271-272).
Transitional modes / forms of production (mode of production), as is the case of the Jungle People from hunting-gathering, farming and gathering of forest products to the agricultural business of rubber and services, for the Team Inglod occurs when the original goal of trying to meet subsistence needs, has now changed for the purpose of the capitalistic nature of capital accumulation. For the hunting-gathering societies, People Jungle example, according to Tim Inglod diakumulasikannya capital is human capital workforce itself, so that the transitional form of production is also not free from human effort to maximize productivity and streamline its work to obtain maximum results (Inglod, 1991, 269). The main focus of the study of this production is directed to personnel management processes that are owned by the community.
Because labor (labor) is a creative activity in which humans interact with nature, which is the historical use of accumulated knowledge, techniques, and technology in order to produce something that is considered useful. In particular forms of production is defined as the arrangement of tools, techniques, materials, and objects used in the process of labor, or objects that mediate the relationship between man and nature in a productive activity (Thomas Barfield, 1997.325). The production system is done by humans, is also designed to allocate its resources. In this case, the resources are at stake by the People Rimba power, their natural resources (forest & land) capital. The allocation of these resources refer to the cultural rules used by humans to regulate ownership and use of the source.
Aspects of the production system is the technology used (technology), the division of labor (division of labor), and production units (units of production) that is personal and group. Technology in addition to referring to the tool or machine, also refers to cultural knowledge to make and use tools, add and mengimprovisiasi raw materials in order of production (Spradley & McCurdy, 1987, 277-228). With a focus on adaptation strategies to the analysis of forms of production, then by itself bring understanding of the ecology and the economy will run together, rather than mempertentangkannya (Roy Ellen, 1982, 278).
At first the concept of working culture through cultural adaptation is considered to provide some analytical tools for the study of adaptive behavior, which refers to a set of values, precedent (something that became a model), model, or style (cognitive map), where individuals can choose in order as guide decisions and actions, both as a base or an unconscious awareness of socialization. Culture can also be interpreted as supporting the moral code, which serves as the guardian of the freedom to choose their own decisions on the basis of prediction, gratuity, or situational needs, but must understand the norms of goodness, truth, and reciprocity. Room for manipulation and movement in it guarded by a pattern of decisions that exist in any social system, and adaptive behavior studies should pay attention to the response pattern of manipulative as conformity, or a kind of blueprint (Bennett, 1976, 275).
But on the other hand, the concept of culture has made the individual is not free to move, because it is always monitored by the structure and the existing social system. Contrary to what was noted above, Bourdieu proposed the concept of practice model (practice) that emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between the perpetrator and the cultural construction built by the community (by Bourdieu called the objective structure). In reciprocity, the involvement of humans as subjects in the process of the construction of culture is emphasized. According to Bachtiar Alam, Bourdieu tried to explain that among the human role as the subject and culture as an objective structure there is a continuous interaction, where people try to cultivate and mengskontruksi symbols in his interest in social, economic, and political, but rather a symbol of the culture also had a tendency to become a standard structure. Human effort to construct a symbol of culture is what Bourdieu referred to as the practice (Bachtiar Alam, 1998). Or it can be said to be based on a relationship that is the dialectic between structure and agency (Mahar, Richard Harker, Cris Wilkes, 1990.1).
In this practice model approach, individuals are given the space and place to move and free to choose, namely by looking at the practice in the individual / agency. In this practice model approach tries to describe the system as an integral unity with reference to the practices undertaken by the agent. Practice model approach also does not need to say that would be an integration of harmony or balance, as the purpose of adaptation in the previous concept of adaptation is seen that the adaptation will lead to a point balance of the ecosystem. The system then no longer be viewed as a hegemony that dominates any social action of the agent. Practice / practice is defined as an act in terms of pragmatic choices and the selection decision or action menstrategikan active and calculates the actor. And actions the agent can not be separated from the interests and power that belongs to, its role as individuals in society, and depending also on the contextualization of his practice model (Ortner, 1984).
Another implication of this approach is the pattern is no longer seen as an absolute thing exists in culture, no longer even considered. The values are distributed equally to all members are considered as limiting the role of the individual. Values also did not provide an opportunity for invidu opposition. The values share, is also questionable since no values are really the same can be guided, must be in accordance with time and situational contexts that exist. The anti-essentialist even more inclined to use the term knowledge rather than value. Then it becomes important to know where and what kind of process that knowledge gained by individuals. Then how the individual is to keep it, because he is dealing with actual problems and must be in accordance with the goals / interests. Furthermore, how knowledge is transmitted to other individuals or represented in a variety of activities (Vayda, 1994).
Barth explains further that culture is always in the manufacturing process, so that its nature is dynamic, not fixed, and always changing. By Barth explained also that the distinction of the nature of culture as a collective and individual representation is also a distinction is blurred. The perception that perceives culture as a permanent and is a representation of the group based on the fact that see culture as an isolated and belong to social groups, rather than on individuals. Yet the fact that Barth viewed in the obtaining, storage and development of knowledge, individuals are always overwhelmed by the situation of social groups and social contexts, thus causing the knowledge acquired, practiced and can be reproduced relatively the same or different. But in the process, the knowledge gained by individuals is highly divergent and contain high levels of creativity, depending on the praxis that are involved with the context (Barth, 1990).

I'm sick and tired of dating the wrong guys. I want a boyfriend. But why do I keep attracting a**holes?
This post was contributed by dating coach Rishma Petraglia (@rishma_petraglia). She has a podcast called You Are Worthy of Love, which talks about dating, relationships, love, and heartbreak. Listen to it on Spotify here.
Before we delve into this question, let's clearly define what an a**hole is. Google tells me that an a-hole is:
a stupid, irritating, or contemptible person.
I didn't love that definition, as it's not really giving us a lot of information, so I took the liberty of going on urbandictionary.com to find a better one. Urban Dictionary says that an a**hole is:
An inconsiderate, arrogant, uncaring, selfish, borderline sadistic, apathetic, mean, spiteful, dishonorable, bastard of a man who could tempt the Pope into a fight.
OK, now we're getting somewhere.
One more point of clarity before I give my advice: if you're looking for me to confirm your belief that 'Men are assholes', I am not going to do that. Why?
Because from my own experiences in life, I believe there are lots of great men out there who want to find love, and if you are not meeting them, there could be deeper reasons why.
Reason #1: It's not him, it's you
I believe in the law of attraction, which states that you have the ability to attract what you're focusing on into your life.
Simply put: whenever we are attracting something more frequently in our lives – whether it's to do with work, friends, or our relationships – it's a sign of what's going on internally, with our subconscious thoughts and beliefs.
So for example, if you're someone who lacks self-worth or confidence, according to the law of attraction, you'll find yourself in the company of people who reflect this back to you.
People who think things like "I am not good enough", "I am not pretty enough", "I am not smart enough", would attract people who'd show them that these beliefs are true.
When we focus on changing our subconscious thoughts and think more positively about ourselves, we are then able to create more uplifting experiences in our lives, and also attract people who see us through the lens of acceptance and unconditional love.
But let's say that this is not resonating for you. Then you might be interested in the second reason why you might be constantly dating the "wrong guys".
Reason #2: You keep attracting a**holes because you are attracted to a**holes
From my experience as a dating coach, there's a reason why many women are attracted to the "a**hole" types. That's because these guys have an important trait that most people find desirable and likable – it's because they're exciting.
In an experiment, a social psychologist set up three types of dates for his subjects to go on.
The first guy would agree with everything the subject said.
The second guy would disagree with everything the subject said.
The third guy would start off the date by disagreeing with the subject, then halfway through the date, he'd start agreeing with everything.
Out of the three guys, the subjects rated the third guy as more attractive and desirable.
If you want to know more, watch the TED talk below. It starts from around the 6-minute mark.
And here's the reason why: people love it when they think they've made a positive impact on someone. So when the third guys suddenly started agreeing, the subject subconsciously felt like they were having an impact on him. When we feel like we've made an impact on someone, it actually makes us like the person more.
On the flip side, when a person always agrees with us, it can feel dull, boring, and unattractive. And let's face it: an a**hole almost always disagree with you, which can make him seem more intriguing and engaging. He would, knowing or unknowingly, give you an occasional glimmer of hope – which makes you feel like you've impacted him in a positive way. Then he goes back to disagreeing with you, and the cycle rinses and repeats.
So here's the question you have to ask yourself. Do you want someone who is like a roller coaster: an exhilarating ride with crazy turns, and ups-and-downs, but with no real destination?
Or do you want someone who is like a road trip: calm, smooth, and driving to a destination?
Either way, the power to choose is in your hands.

An Ode to Rembrandt and the Dutch Golden Age
This is the Netherlands' greatest museum and, for lovers of the 17th-century Old Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn (1606—1669), guardian of the country's finest works. If you want to cut to the chase through more than 150 rooms full of beauties, head for Rembrandt's magnificent The Night Watch (1642) on the upper floor (Room 224).
The enormous king-size canvas is the artist's best-known painting, one of the world's most famous, and has a grand hall all to itself. It is the pivotal point around which this turreted neo-Gothic museum was designed in 1885 by P. J. H. Cuypers.
It houses the largest and finest collection of Dutch paintings anywhere in the world. Adjoining rooms showcase Rembrandt's sensitive Jewish Bride (1662) and Self-Portrait as the Apostle Paul (1661); there are twenty- one of his works in all. Other rooms on the top floor are no less impressive, with works by Jan Vermeer, Frans Hals, and Jacob van Ruisdale, among many others.
Dating from a decree in 1808 by Louis Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, the astonishing collection of the 17th-century Dutch golden age has long been the uncontested drawing card of "The Rijks." But it is strong in other areas as well—it has an impressive collection of delftware, and its extensive Asian art collection (with some 100 Buddhas from all over the East) gets the attention it merits thanks to a 1996 face-lift of the South Wing.

This post was written by Robert Trask, a senior systems architect with Beckhoff Automation.
As U.S. manufacturing and production moves toward what is generally considered the fourth Industrial Revolution, popularized as "Industry 4.0," many of the necessary technological components are already in place. However, there is some additional ground that must be covered. A consensus is forming around the notion that the primary component preventing the revolution from reaching full speed is wider acceptance of communication standards. So how can we consistently, and with less effort, exchange data between the various components of a highly connected industrial machine or process?
Many automation professionals have grown too used to the idea that communicating between devices and vendors is difficult, due to deliberately built-in roadblocks. Unfortunately, some have just accepted that each installation requires a significant integration effort to establish communication within the system and with external networks and databases. Too often, establishing the levels of connectivity expected by today's global enterprises requires great amounts of talent, time, and expense. Without better adherence to standards, system integration for highly connected solutions will continue to be a complex challenge.
As a colleague of mine put it recently, we are dealing with "thousands of one-man bands." As such, standards are necessary to accomplish two things:
- a common look and feel
- a consistent communications interface
There is light at the end of the tunnel, however—industrial control systems are quickly leaving their history of isolation and segmentation with regard to information and control. Increases in connectedness are becoming a requisite, rather than a luxury, and this connectedness is more fluid, offering faster, simpler implementation. The industry could use more of a Steve Jobs-ian, "it just works" mentality (Steve Jobs famously quipped, "it just works" during several iPhone launches).
For the U.S. manufacturing industry to prosper in the future, we must create systems that can adapt quickly and easily. It has to "just work." This will raise efficiency, reduce time to market, and be more flexible for vendors and end users. True progress must improve the competitive outlook of the machine user, as well as the machine builder. Open communication standards, not a vendor-specific protocol or method, can make this progress happen for all parties, with the added benefit of simplifying system designs.
Standard Accepted
The good news is that many of the required standards already exist and have existed for some time. When fully embraced, these can be of great benefit to the automation community. Specifically, we can look at the packaging industry, a well-known hotbed of technological innovation. Packaging equipment must deal with high speeds, multi-axis motion control, advanced vision systems, and the frequent involvement of several different vendors in one installation. Too often, there is little communication between the machine modules, as manufacturers tend to treat each segment individually. The unique aspects of each piece must be kept in mind, often requiring specialists.
What if we agreed on mechanisms to share information, with names that are both useful and consistent? What if we agreed on a standard way of handling individual machine states? The answer to these questions is a standard that has been available and implemented by leading companies for years. This technology, Packaging Machine Language (PackML), is a powerful communications language developed over the past 15 years, primarily through the efforts of the ISA88 committee and the Organization for Machine Automation and Control. Recently, Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute has taken over the development and maintenance of the language. PackML is known officially as ISA-TR88.00.02-2008 (v3.0 released in 2008); an updated 2014 version of the technical report is currently being voted upon by the ISA88 committee. Combined with the ISA-88 Part 5 standard currently in development by ISA88, PackML provides a consistent architecture and approach to machine programming geared toward, but not limited to, the packaging industry. PackML is growing in prominence within the packaging industry. The third revision has found wide use; Proctor & Gamble is a high-profile example. Proctor & Gamble went so far as to publish and promote a PackML implementation guide in 2009.
PackML provides two key components for our use: a state machine and a set of tags called PackTags, used as a communications interface. A well-planned communications interface is important for feature-filled, multitasking devices, such as the one in smartphones. The information exchange between the GPS unit, the dialer, the Wi-Fi connection, and the various sensors on the phone is channeled through a set of interfaces that are well designed, well named, and easy to implement and use. The success and pervasiveness of modern smartphone technology cannot be denied, providing ample evidence that a similar communications interface for industrial machinery should be seriously considered.
So how does a PackML state machine relate to this, and how can it be of use to the manufacturers and users of packaging machinery? The primary use of a state machine is not so much for normal operation; it is a powerful mechanism for production problems and dealing with exceptions. In addition, a state machine with a common look and feel benefits both the developer and the end user. An operator can look at any part of the machine and have an instantly familiar human-machine interface screen that displays relevant information in a simple, universally accepted format. The machine builder benefits, because the structure does not have to be designed from scratch.
With the right technical specifications and with manufacturer support, PackML is the leading candidate for a standard to interface packaging systems, with the hope of getting packaging machines to that smartphone level of user friendliness. Today's PackML users already have a common look and feel, as well as agreed upon methods to exchange data in the control system that are vendor-agnostic. Like the initiatives of PLCopen, the forces behind PackML seek a commonality in appearance and in functionality between different vendors. This way, the operator can walk up to any machine, look at the display screen, and see a familiar interface. This helps the operator avoid the learning curve associated with new machinery.

He said "it's cowboy day at school today" which I knew it was not, and had the fearful adult thought of - someone might make fun of you. I quickly snapped out of it and told him he will be the raddest cowboy in all the land and I am super lucky to be his cowboy mom. Really lucky, and so grateful for my Monday morning reminder of who gives a sh*t what anyone else thinks.

LG HomeBrew Machine Might be Targeting You
Microbreweries have been popping up for years now. The next evolution of that trend appears to be homebrewing machines, and LG is the latest company to announce their own version of the popular appliance.
The LG HomeBrew machine is a capsule-based craft beer-making machine that will be unveiled at the CES 2019 show. The machine works by employing single-use capsules to provide all the ingredients for a craft beer of your choice. Then, using optimized fermentation algorithms, the machine brews your beer. Each capsule contains malt, yeast, hop oil, and flavouring mixed to the proper ratios, so you won't have to do anything more than add the capsule. And that includes cleaning up after; HomeBrew is completely self-cleaning.
LG is planning on five beers as an initial offering—American IPA, American Pale Ale, English Stout, Belgian-style Witbier, and a Czech Pilsner. The machine can ferment up to five litres at a time. Each batch takes about two weeks for the process to complete.
Song Dae-Hyun, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solutions, described the LG HomeBrew system. "LG HomeBrew is the culmination of years of home appliance and water purification technologies that we have developed over the decades. Homebrewing has grown at an explosive pace but there are still many beer lovers who haven't taken the jump because of the barrier to entry and these are the consumers we think will be attracted to LG HomeBrew."
The question is whether he's talking about you?

In the face of all the drama that's been circulating throughout the Call of Duty community, former pro player Doug 'Censor' Martin looked to clarify things further while wearing a clown outfit live on his Twitch stream.
Censor has been the center of attention in the latest Call of Duty drama, following allegations of slander against former teammates Brandon 'Dashy' Otell and Rasim 'Blazt' Ogresevich.
While the now FaZe Clan member believes his former Complexity team threw him under the bus, Dashy and Blazt have come forward arguing that their ex-teammate is "psychotic" and always playing the "victim."
On September 10, Censor took the controversy to a whole new level by going on an explosive rant on his Twitch stream, all while wearing a clown outfit.
- Read more: Censor opens up on former FaZe issues
"I'm losing my mind, I'm gonna audition for Joker. I'm losing my freaking mind turning into a psychopath over this shit," he said desperately.
Forming an L shape with his hand and holding it up to his head, he owned up to the recent backlash and states that he will be taking his L "with pride."
He did this in response to Dashy and Blazt blaming for Complexity's poor run at CWL Anaheim in 2018, since he had spent the week prior doing a CSGO brand deal in the UK instead of practicing.
Clown outfit and all, he took accountability of his actions in a manner many would probably consider over-the-top.
"You're right, I had an obligation to my team, and I let my team down," he said. "Dashy, Blazt, I hope you're watching this, this is an important lesson for you guys to learn. These kids need to grow up, and I don't give a damn about nothing. I will take my L with pride for losing CWL Anaheim for my team."
However, once the clown outfit came off, Censor changed his tune very much to the offensive and gave a very stern warning to both Dashy and Blazt moving forward
"If I see that again, I swear to f*cking god, I don't give a damn," he said emotionally. "I don't need anything or anybody. I will stand up for myself, I promise myself now that I'm a 25-year-old grown-ass man, I have things to take care of, if I see any stupid shit like this ever again, I don't give a f*ck man. I am not holding back. I don't care about nothing dude."
"You can say that I costed you Anaheim, I will take that L 100% to the grave," he went on. "I costed you Anaheim, you can say I costed you every single tournament in CoD history, you can say I'm the worst K/D player in the league, but you can't make lies like that about people. It is unacceptable man. You really need to think twice before you speak."
You can check out Censor's full past broadcast below, with his 'clown outfit' segment kicking off right at the start.
This saga really took off on September 9, when Censor released a video calling out Dashy and Blast for having "slandered" his name and damaged his reputation.
Following that, Dashy responded during his livestream by calling the YouTuber "psychotic," which clearly struck a nerve and prompted the clown outfit to make an appearance.
Censor will hope that this controversy dies down before it really begins to affect his chances of signing with one of the nine confirmed teams in next year's franchised Call of Duty League.

What's a Medicare Advantage Plan?
For those seniors who are not familiar with Medicare Advantage, it is a high coverage medical insurance plan that acts as a replacement for Original Medicare while adding on some extra coverage. So, it will take care of all of the Medicare Part A and Part B costs and services for you that would normally be covered by Original Medicare. The only exception there is the hospice care costs, which are still going be covered by Medicare Part A through the government organization Medicare.
On top of that coverage, Advantage plans also take care of the cost of emergency medical services and urgently needed healthcare for you. That includes all sorts of expenses and services that are situational, meaning that you can only be covered for them when they are considered necessary by your healthcare provider.
Advantage plans are available to anyone over the age of 65 who meets the eligibility requirements for Medicare. That typically means that you are a US citizen or a permanent resident of five years or more. If you have Medicare already, then you probably qualify for Medicare Advantage too, but if you are not sure or would like clarification of your eligibility, then you can always contact us or talk to a Medicare representative.
Once you meet the eligibility requirements for Medicare Advantage, then you will need to apply for the plan you want anywhere between October 15th and December 7th. This Open Enrollment window gives you the best rates and ensures that you get the plan you apply for. You can't be turned down for the plan you want simply because of a preexisting medical condition, when you apply during this time.
How Medicare Advantage Works with Existing Coverage
If you have a medical insurance plan right now and would like to replace it or supplement it with Medicare Advantage, then you need to know if there will be any conflict in the coverage. After all, you can't be signed up for two plans with some of the same coverage at once. That would mean you are paying for the same coverage twice, which is not allowed and is certainly not practical or cost effective for you.
Medicare Advantage will not work with a Medicare Supplement plan- also known as Medigap. It will also not be compatible with most union healthcare plans or healthcare plans that come from employers. It will work just fine with Original Medicare, however, as well as Medicare Part D, as long as Part D coverage is not included in the Advantage plan. Many of the Humana Medicare Advantage 2020 plans will include Medicare Part D coverage or cover for routine checkups, and if you already have this kind of cover through another health insurance plan, then you will need to decide between one insurance plan or the other. You cannot keep them both.
Humana Offers You Powerful Benefits
Each insurance carrier that you could choose between will give you some exclusive member benefits. Humana has a host of benefits to offer that differ from other insurances, so when you are comparing Medicare Advantage plans, be sure to compare these perks and how they may help you out. Right now, Humana offers coverage for Weight Watchers, weight loss surgery, access to medical professionals 24 hours a day, access to urgent care centers, pregnancy care and much more. You can talk to a Humana representative to see what kind of member benefits they offer with their different membership and insurance programs and what kinds of benefits are available in your area. In some cases, the benefits do differ based on where you live and what is available in that location.
If you choose a Humana, plan, then you get access to their competitive rates, which you can check here on our site and see how they compare to other insurers in your area. You also get to benefit from their customer service and have the chance to renew your plan once your current plan's term is over. You may be able to pay a lower rate than what new subscribers will pay for the same plan, as you are often rewarded for being a loyal member.
Humana's Network Coverage
Humana has a large network of clinics, hospitals and other medical facilities that will honor its coverage plans. These places are on its coverage network, and if you have one of Humana's plans but choose to go outside of their network area for your healthcare services, then you won't be getting full coverage from your plan. You may not get any coverage at all, depending on the kind of plan that you choose.
If you look at Humana's Medicare Advantage plans, then you will see that some of them are labeled with terms like "HMO" and "PPO". These tell you the kind of network option you are getting.
The HMO option is the one that most seniors choose, since it is more affordable, in most cases. HMOs will cover you just on the network. Once you go outside the network for your healthcare, you are not going to be covered at all by the HMO plan.
PPOs cover you both on and off the network. They offer full coverage for the network and partial coverage outside of it, and that extensive coverage will cost you more.
If you have questions about Humana Medicare Advantage 2020 or any other kind of health insurance, be sure to give us a call. Our team of health insurance experts are standing by and ready to assist you in making the right healthcare coverage choice.

Tantalum producer Global Advanced Metals says trial dates with Talison Lithium were set by the WA Supreme Court to determine whether Talison Lithium's expansion of Western Australia's Greenbushes mine should be injuncted so there is no infringement on GAM's mining rights for Tantalum.
"The nature of the orebody at Greenbushes is such that the proposed expansion of lithium mining and processing in its current form will irreparably sterilise tantalum owned by GAM," GAM Chief Executive Officer Andrew O'Donovan said in the statement.
GAM claims Talison's expansion of lithium mining and processing at Greenbushes threatens to waste tantalum resources.
GAM processes tantalum extracted as a by-product of lithium production at the Greenbushes mine and then ships it to its downstream facilities in the United States and Japan. Tantalum is primarily used in the production of capacitors and high-power resistors. Mr O'Donovan said it was increasing near-term production in response to growing demand for tantalum capacitors and other products in the electronics, aerospace, automotive and chemical processing industries.
A high-stakes dispute over the world's biggest hard rock lithium mine is now headed for trial on Oct. 16-31, 2018 after the owners failed to reach agreement on tantalum extraction.

A Yearning To RideJune 28, 2017 | Desert Flower
Each Desert Flower resident brings diverse experiences and interests to our senior living community. We encourage residents to share their stories to enliven memories and foster relationships within the community. Our senior care staff loves hearing about the residents' stories, because it is a great way to get to know members of the community outside of their life at Desert Flower. Plus, it helps us plan new memorable moments! One lovely resident in particular, Sue Mennela, shares her exciting stories with pronounced passion and enthusiasm, which enabled us to create an amazing WOW! Moment for her to enjoy!
Sue lived in Ohio for many years and received her Nursing degree from Dennison University. Sue was fervent about helping others and set off to pursue her dream of doing just that. She moved to Chicago and became a visiting nurse, where she provided comprehensive care for patients in their homes. While living in Chicago, Sue's friend mentioned the Santa Fe Railway was looking to hire a Courier Nurse. The job opening immediately sparked Sue's interest. She couldn't pass up the opportunity, so she packed her bags and set off.
Working as a Courier Nurse, Sue traveled to San Francisco and Los Angeles several times each month, attending to the medical needs of passengers. During Sue's travels on the Santa Fe Railway, she fell in love. Sue married her husband James on July 20, 1963. Soon after, Sue and James moved to Colorado to settle down and start a family. In Colorado, Sue and James lived on eighty acres of land with their two adopted children. One year, James surprised Sue with a beautiful horse for her birthday. It was love at first sight. Sue spent the days following teaching herself how to ride. She spent many days exploring the ranch on horseback. Sue explained that each day living on the ranch was an adventure. She said she has the fondest memories of their Colorado ranch, and misses the feeling of riding a horse.
The Desert Flower Senior Living staff was intrigued by Sue's story and her profound love for horseback riding. We wanted to help Sue bring back memories of her life on the ranch, so one of our staff members planned a surprise visit to MacDonald Ranch for a 1-hour private horseback ride on an open desert trail!
Sue was smiling ear-to-ear when she met her horse Domino. She hopped on the saddle and rode with sheer confidence. Along the way, Sue learned about native plants, cactus and desert mistletoe. She even saw a 77-foot-tall cactus! Watching Sue's instant connection with the horse, and utter happiness riding, was truly a WOW! Moment. The day was a huge success and truly rewarding. The staff hopes to take Sue horseback riding again soon!

Introduction: Arduino - Analog LED Thermometer
I originally thought this project might be too basic to share on Instructables, but I have since realized there is room for learning at every skill level. I hope you enjoy it.
After reading numerous books and experimenting with many tutorials, I decided it was time to apply what I had learned and create my first "from scratch" Arduino project. I wanted to keep it simple but also provide the opportunity to try out some of the new coding techniques I had learned.
I came up with the idea of a large-display thermometer that uses an array of colored LEDs to represent the traditional column of liquid. In theory, a completed project of this type could be housed in an enclosure and hung on the wall, where it would be easily readable from a distance.
Step 1: Parts I Used
1- Arduino UNO
1- Breadboard
1- Protoshield (optional)
1- TMP36 temperature sensor
16- 10mm, diffused-lens LEDs (blue, green, yellow, red)
16- 330 ohm, 1/4w resistors
2- 74HC595 shift register ICs
Jumper wires
Step 2: Assembly
One important consideration when I began assembly was how to get all 16 of the LEDs to fit, evenly-spaced on the breadboard. I found I had just enough room to fit them on my 4"x6" breadboard with the upper and lower LEDs leaning slightly outward. After that, it was just a matter of placing the other components in a convenient and logical location to facilitate the many jumper wire connections. Just connect everything as shown in the Fritzing diagram and/or as commented in the sketch.
I was a bit concerned about the power usage in the event all 16 LEDs were lit at the same time. The 5v power output on the Arduino has a maximum rating of 500ma. Considering the resistors I chose, I estimated that the display should use less than 300ma. However, I never thought to actually measure it once the project was done. The power for each LED sinks through the pins in the shift register chips, so powering the full array from the Arduino output pins isn't an issue.
Note: The use of the protoshield is optional. You could just as easily connect the TMP36 to the breadboard (as shown in the Fritzing diagram). I just found it convenient to separate the display and sensing portions of the project.
After I had the hardware working, I devised an example template the might be put around the LEDs to indicate, along with the colors, what temperature was being sensed (PDF file)
Step 3: Arduino Sketch
I had used multiple shift registers in previous projects, so it wasn't too tough to adapt the necessary code for my thermometer. I thought it would be useful to be able to set the range of temperatures that the LEDs would display, so I included MAX and MIN variables to be set within the sketch.
I struggled with a more elegant way to code the way the temperature cutoff points for each LED would be tested, but finally conceded defeat and went with a long list of IF-ELSE IF statements. I realized that in the event all or none of the LEDs were lit, you wouldn't be able to tell if the temperature was merely at or well outside the specified limits. Therefore, there's a test that will flash either the top or bottom LED to show if the sensor reading is outside the range of the display. Finally (mostly because I like to watch flashy, LED thingys), I added a self-test of the display at power-up that lights all the LEDs in sequence.
Step 4: Conclusion
I originally built this project over a year ago, and have long since disassembled it. In retrospect, I've had a few further thoughts and realizations:
- It should be possible to add dimming control to the display by applying a PWM signal to the OE pins of the shift registers. The display brightness could then be adjusted manually with a potentiometer or automatically with a photocell.
- While this project was built to display temperature, I would think it could be adapted to display information from any type of sensor, humidity, sound or fluid levels for example.
- Perhaps someday I will revisit the ELSE IF issue. Maybe some of you expert coders out there can throw me a bone :-)

Looks like Club Jameco has come up with a $35 PCB kit that utilizes the basic ideas of this project. :-)
Hi, will it be possible to add another one, two shift registers and made it from 24, 32 LEDs please?
Friend the circuit can be affected if I use the lm35 temperature sensor?, because I'm using it and I do not check the room temperature only when one raises the temperature a lighter and the temperature does not remain low until the minimum
Yes, i also wondering that.. Did u do this circuit with LM35?
Hi there, is the code differs much if i want to use the Celcius base instead of Fahrenheit ?
It shouldn't be a problem at all. In fact, the temperature input voltage from the TMP36 is first read as Celsius, then converted to Fahrenheit so both the tempC and tempF variables exist already in the sketch.
You can find these in the section of the code that looks like this:
float tempC = (probeVolts - 0.5) * 100 ; // convert voltage to degrees (subtract 500 mv offset)
float tempF = (tempC * 9.0 / 5.0) + 32.0; // convert C to F
What you would have to do is replace all the tempF notations (in the part that tests the temperature ranges and assigns byte values) with tempC.
it is good - thank you
Also if you do get round to rebuilding it, i imagine it would be cool to make a dedicated pcb for it with an arduino (or attiny?) embedded in it.
You said you would put it up, looks good by the way :)

Victor Lindelof's stark turn in form seems to have gone under the radar. After less than stellar beginnings, the Swede's recent performances have repaid the faith shown in him by new boss Jose Mourinho. After an impressive trio of displays from the 23 year old, can United supporters expect more of the same?
Lindelof's return to the United starting 11 versus Newcastle, was met with exasperation. His last appearance in the Premier League saw a catalogue of errors result in the Red Devils first loss of the season. Though the match didn't begin as he may have wanted, there were signs of improvement as the game played out.
Unforeseen qualities
With United 8 points behind Manchester City, the next three games were crucial. Lindelof kept his place for the visit of Brighton and Hove Albion – the game which saw the criticism surrounding United's new signing, begin to fade.
The Under 21 European champion revealed a somewhat unanticipated form of aggression, as well as displaying his habitual ball playing capabilities. Murray was given no time on the ball, consistently finding himself under pressure from the Swedish international. The 34 year old finished the game having completed the most unsuccessful touches (5) as well as being dispossessed twice. With Lindelof more known for his ability to break the lines of the opposition whilst in possession, his sudden combativeness surprised the Old Trafford faithful.Embed from Getty Images
After his demonstration of tactical intelligence versus Brighton, United manager Jose Mourinho assigned the Swede an important task for their midweek trip to Vicarage Road – stop Richarlison. Despite the change in system, he seemed to thrive in a man marking role. Again, the pressure applied by Lindelof, forced Richarlison to commit a massive 7 unsuccessful touches. Like a father beaming with pride, Jose had some kind words for the defender following the 4-2 victory:
"I think Richarlison is a very good player and a difficult player to play against, but Victor is very fast."
"He has adapted to play centrally but also to go to the sides, because he's got the agility that many central defenders don't have."
"I think it was another very positive performance by Victor."
This led United into their final and most difficult game of the three, away at Arsenal. During the first half, Lindelof was again tasked with a man marking role, this time on Arsenal's number 7, Alexis Sanchez. The 28 year old lost the ball 4 times in the first 45 minutes, with only Alexandre Lacazette conceding possession more.Embed from Getty Images
The second half saw a change in tact from the Arsenal man, drifting from the left into central areas and even over to the right to lose his marker. This is a testament to the pressure applied by the United defender, not only coercing an elite player to sacrifice possession, but forcing the player to flee from his position in search of space.
Nordic Numbers
During Lindelof's early outings for his new club, many of the qualities associated with the defensive side of the game seemed absent. Whilst some (inc. Mourinho) were allowing for a period of adaptation, many believed these were traits that wouldn't be improved upon. When comparing with his team mates, it would have been hard to disagree with the latter.
However, the bedding-in period provided by Jose, has allowed the defender to ameliorate some of the issues that plagued his early form. The confidence established through his performances have allowed him to refine the weaker aspects of his game, whilst also retaining his unique skill set whilst in possession. The sharp contrast in numerical output, before and after the home fixture with Brighton, illustrates exactly why Mourinho placed his faith in the three time Primeria Liga champion.
A long way to go
Despite gaining a consistent run in the starting eleven, Jose will be looking for Lindelof to avoid any complacency. In a recent interview, when the Swede was asked how he felt about a potential start in the upcoming derby versus Manchester City, his feet remained firmly on the ground.Embed from Getty Images
"Well I'm very excited of course, if I get the chance to play but right now, I am just happy for the win [vs. CSKA Moscow] and that we finished first in the group"
In the current state of affairs, Lindelof stands a great chance at achieving his full potential at Manchester United. Not only is he at an elite club with exceptional coaching staff and facilities, he also has a manager that prides himself on the development of his defenders. Extensive work on the training ground, as well as consistent game time, will provide a foundation for the young centre half to augment his play style and become the elite defender his potential suggests.

China is a perfect country to test drone delivery solutions. While in e.g. US or other countries regulations limit the opportunities, in China the government allows for testing new usages of drones despite not fully regulated drone environment.
Chinese retail gigant JD.com tests full drone delivery solutions. The program was launched during countries "Singles' Day" when the sales are always booming. The company declares that the tests were successful and it will develop the program further. However packages are not delivered directly to homes, the solution is expected to shorten delivery time and decrease costs. Drone delivery would be especially useful in rural China where lack of infrastructure impede traditional transportation effectiveness. Packages are planned to be delivered to special regional centers and then distributed further.
For now the capabilities are impressive. The drone can carry as much as 5 to 15kg, flying up to 50km.

BEIJING (AFP) - Beijing will close off access to part of the South China Sea for military drills, officials said on Monday (July 18), after an international tribunal ruled against its sweeping claims in the waters.
An area off the east coast of China's island province of Hainan will host military exercises from Tuesday to Thursday, China's maritime administration said on its website, adding that entrance was "prohibited".
The area of sea identified is some distance from the Paracel islands and even further away from the Spratlys; both chains are claimed by China and several other neighbouring states.
An arbitration tribunal in The Hague last week ruled that there was no legal basis for Beijing's claims to much of the sea, embodied in a "nine-dash line" that dates from 1940s maps and stretches close to other countries' coasts.
Manila - which lodged the suit against Beijing at the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) - welcomed the decision. China dismissed it as a "piece of waste paper".
Despite Chinese objections, the European Union weighed in on the subject at a regional summit over the weekend, with president Donald Tusk telling reporters that the grouping "will continue to speak out in support of upholding international law", adding that it had "full confidence" in the PCA and its decisions.
China pressured countries in the Asean bloc of South-east Asian nations not to issue a joint statement on the ruling, diplomats said.
Beijing held military drills in the South China Sea just days before the international arbitration court ruling, state media reported.
China has rapidly built reefs in the waters into artificial islands capable of military use.
In a separate message on its website, the maritime administration said last week that four out of five lighthouses built atop islands and reefs in the sea have been activated, and a fifth would be put into use soon.
