The tradition of Halloween is followed closely by the post-Halloween hangover. Like the costumes, there are some classic hangovers.
The Vampire – A result of drinking a bunch of blood(y Marys). They turn to stone in light; well they at least stop moving and functioning. Found in the darkest corner of the house and hissing whenever you attempt to talk to them or they see light. Just leave them in their room and make it so they can't escape as a bat.
Superman/Superwoman – How the fuck are they so functional after last night. I can barely move and they are off running and flying… wait a minute.
The Zombie – Brainnnns owwww my brain…. The cry of the zombie hangover echoes through the morning. Kind of just shuffling from their room to the bathroom to puke these are only a threat if you are over run by them in large numbers.
The Pirate – After poking out their eye with a rum bottle and hitting their leg off a cannon that they just happen to have, you get the pirate. These are distinguished by the hospital eye patch and hopping around on one foot. Just give them time with rum and their parrot and hope they don't start a sword fight in your house, again.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon – It came from the depths of black rum and that weird pool of goo on Aberdeen street. What it is and what it wants are unknown but it is coming this way, ohh shit, shit runnnnn!!!!
Frankenstein's Monster – If Frankenstein was hard liquor, this is his creation. Stumbling about with all the direction and intelligence of a drunk 2 year old. What they want, no one knows and they just communicate through grunts and groans.
The Ghost – Was it all a dream or did they disappear through the night. Either way you can't find them today and you won't see them ever again.
The Editor – Perhaps the scariest of all the hangovers. Identified by the tinted Eng Soc sunglasses and just sitting in the corner trying to get the paper done to go home.
No matter which you fall into we at Golden Words recommend the Golden Hangover Elixir (trademark pending). This elixir looks like lemonade and tastes like piss; it is probably lemonade. This elixir endorsed by the Canadian Naturopathic Society and Dr. Oz is clinically proven to shorten the duration of hangovers.

Y'all, this book. As soon as I got about a quarter done, I immediately hopped on the CBR Book Chat facebook page and commanded you all to read it. I hope some of you listened (*stern look*) because this book is adorable and sweet and funny and hits you right in the feels. I've been following Federle on twitter for awhile (and you should also do that) and I'm aware he's written some middle-grade books, but this was his first YA novel. Last week was my last week at a beloved job, and I needed a little something to cheer me up and my word, this did it.
I did listen! I'm on the library hold list now as you always have the best taste in YA.
Ok, added to the library request list. I also added the audio of his middle grades Better Nate than Ever (read by the author!) for one of my reading challenges.

Google is looking to introduce gesture navigation with Android Q.
The company acknowledges the change in the latest blog post.

Recently, Google offered a near-final look of Android Q with Beta 6. The gesture navigation is the biggest change to the UX in recent times. It fundamentally alters the way a user navigates through an Android smartphone. However, the new change wasn't very well received by the users. Hence, Google's Android team has published a "backstory" explaining gesture navigation.
Right now, users need to swipe in from the left or right edge to navigate back, swipe up from the bottom edge to go to the home screen, and swipe in from the bottom corners to trigger the Google Assistant. The new way of gesture navigation has invited a lot of praise as well as navigation. Hence, in the official blog post, Google has mentioned both benefits and downsides of gesture navigation as:
"When we started researching this more, we honed in on the user benefits:
It wasn't all roses though - we also saw issues with many of the gesture modes:
Google defends the decision to implement the gesture navigation by mentioning how all of their decisions are backed by extensive research and testing on the entire gamut of the subject. The two gestures, of Back and Home, were designed to coincide with the most reachable and comfortable movement areas for thumbs as shown in the above image.
According to Google, the new gestures came after testing several other navigation implementations. The testing also concluded that users viewed Android Q's model as more adaptive for one-handed use.
However, the current Android Q gestures interfere with App Drawers and other swipes within apps. Hence, Google has asked developers to resolve conflicts with the system gestures. To facilitate the process, the tech giant has provided additional resources to the developers.

Google Jump is an entire ecosystem for virtual reality filmmaking
Near the end of the opening keynote at Google's I/O developer conference, the company announced something called "Jump." And while it may have sounded like Jump was just a camera rig the company built in conjunction with GoPro, it's much more than that. Jump is an entire ecosystem for creating virtual reality videos, and it sounds like the kind of thing that could help VR take off by making it much more accessible to both create and consume.
As Clay Bavor, Google's vice president of product, detailed on stage Jump consists of three parts: the camera rig itself, software that automatically assembles and processes the footage, and a player. First, Google has developed blueprints for a 360-degree camera rig made with 16 cameras — enough to keep the quality of the content high without totally sacrificing portability, apparently.
And while GoPro is obviously the first company working on a Jump rig, Bavor said that filmmakers will theoretically be able to use any off-the-shelf cameras. (The benefit of buying GoPro's instead of building your own, however, would be that the optimizations done on the back end would already be taken care of.) You can also make the camera array out of any material. "We've made one out of 3D-printed plastic, one out of machined metal, and for good measure, of course, we also made one out of cardboard," Bavor said.
What's critical is the actual geometry, and we spent a lot of time optimizing everything," Bavor continued. Basically, Google did all the math for you. "The size of the rig, the number and placement of the cameras, their field of view, relative overlap — every last detail."
Like it did with the plans for Cardboard at last year's I/O, Google will release the camera geometry plans to everyone this summer.
The second part of Jump is something called "the assembler." It's a back-end software that can create VR video in stereoscopic 3D from the Jump rig's 16 raw video feeds. By combining computational photography and "computer vision," the assembler software recreates the scene being captured but also generates thousands of in-between viewpoints as well. As Bavor put it, "this is where the Google magic really begins.""THIS IS WHERE THE GOOGLE MAGIC REALLY BEGINS."
The third part of Jump is, simply, YouTube. Instead of building a new kind of player specific to immersive, stereoscopic VR video, Google will just make Jump an option in the YouTube player. "If you want to experience VR video all you need is the YouTube app, your smartphone, and some cardboard," Bavor said.
VR content isn't impossible to come by these days, but it's still not what you would call easily accessible. It's also not very easy to create — even professional filmmakers are still using hacked-together rigs like what I saw being used at the NBA All-Star game earlier this year. And if Google really wants to push VR into places like the classroom, making it more accessible for consumers is key.
Last year's release of Cardboard really helped establish an entry point for virtual reality, but until now it hasn't been surrounded by the kind of ecosystem that could really let it take off. With Jump, it sounds like Google has finally done just that. GoPro may be the first company on board, but it certainly won't be the last.

"Sorry, Ms. Gump, but Life is NOT a Box of Chocolates"
2008 Presidential Address
78th Annual Convention of the
Southern States Communication Association
Savannah, GA
April 4, 2008
Craig Allen Smith
North Carolina State University
We gather this week in the historic Southern city of Savannah. Previous visitors have included James Oglethorpe who, in 1732 founded the colony of Georgia, and General William Tecumseh Sherman who in 1864 here concluded his notorious March of destruction. The Executive Council harbors no illusions that our visit will prove as momentous as that of Oglethorpe, and they have reason to expect that we will leave the area in better condition than did Sherman's Army. But many of us have seen the detritus generated by the Osborn reception, and we are less certain.
Many of you here today first visited Savannah to see the birthplace of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low. But popular culture has helped many of us to associate Savannah's beautiful homes with the novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and the parks and benches with one Forrest Gump.
The character of Forrest Gump liked to tell people that, "My mama always said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get." With all the respect due to that fictional character's fictional mama, I feel obliged to take issue with her maxim. I'm sorry, Ms. Gump, but life is not a box of chocolates.
My first objection is that any box of chocolates (or bowl of cherries for that matter) consists of discrete, unconnected things. Eat one chocolate and the others are unaffected. To the best of our knowledge the nougats feel no fear, the almonds no jealousy. Chocolates in a box need no food, water or love to survive, and they cannot grow. (They can grow mold, but that's another matter). I am aware of no evidence that chocolates seek self-actualization. You can act upon a chocolate and you can set a chocolate in motion, but a chocolate cannot act. And life cannot be said to be constituted of things that cannot act.
Moreover, life is systemic. Living things draw upon their environment for sustenance; we change our environment, our environment changes us, and we change one another. Humans do so both physically and symbolically. And as humans we are inclined to think that this makes us superior to the chocolates in the box. Yet we must acknowledge that we often use that supposed superiority in shameful ways.
It is difficult to imagine the chocolates developing shared identities that divide the white chocolates from the dark chocolates and the milk chocolates, or to divide the domestic chocolates from the imported ones. It is also difficult to imagine the tough, chewy candies trying to scare the jelly-filled candies so that they will live in constant fear that they will be devoured, and therefore trade their liberty for possible security. Although there may be a bunch of nuts in the box, it is hard to conceive of them calling into talk shows and influencing the other candies in the box. And it is inconceivable that the chocolates could heat their environment to the point that they would melt themselves…only the owner of the box could do that. So unlike chocolates, living things act and are interconnected in systems or networks.
My second objection is that is that to equate life with a box of chocolates is to discount the fact that living things need. To live is to need, and to seek at least partial satisfaction of those needs. Much of our lives ought to be devoted to ascertaining the needs of others so that we mutually, or at least compatibly, satisfy our needs. Chocolates have no needs, and those who devour them need worry only about their own needs (will this spoil my diet? Will others think me greedy?). If life were like a box of chocolates we would each think only of ourselves, and never of anyone else's needs. And to the extent that some people approach life that way, it is a view of life that is inattentive to communication.
My third objection is to the premise that "you never know what you're gonna get" in a box of chocolates. This clearly dismisses the importance of reason, logic and wisdom. Stephen F. Whitman began producing chocolates in 1842, but his company's "Whitman's Sampler" did not appear until 1912. Prior to 1912, then, a "box" of chocolates was a box of chocolate covered sugar plums, or fruits or nuts – in short, you knew what you were going to get unless you had an incompetent or deceitful clerk. Perhaps Ms. Gump's maxim drew upon her fictional childhood circa 1912, when the first Samplers appeared.
Today the Whitman's Sampler and its siblings from Russell Stover -- yes, Stover now owns Whitman's candy – Today Stover and Whitman map the candies for us inside the lid. Therefore, only a "knucklehead" can not know what is to be found where in a box of chocolates. I sense the need to be more precise. By a "knucklehead", I do not mean an individual low in intelligence, ability to discriminate or educational attainment; a "knucklehead" is one who chooses to ignore information, instructions, guidance and available mentoring in order to maximize mystery, excitement and the prospect of disappointment. Members of this species can be found among students. The knuckleheads are the ones who choose to disregard textbooks, lectures and/or syllabi in favor of their instincts. They may be found among our authors who choose to disregard the advice and reviewers and editors, and among faculty who disregard their institutions' standards for promotion and tenure and the advice of their senior colleagues and department heads. Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was roundly chided for saying, "We don't know what we don't know." Well, there are things that are unknowable and I don't what all of them are; but surely the contents of a box of chocolates is not foremost among them. Ms. Gump's maxim advises people to ignore available evidence and guidance, and to surrender unnecessarily to fate and mystery when they could reason with evidence toward a conclusion.
Thus far I have argued that Ms. Gump's maxim that "Life is like a box of chocolates" ignores the systemic nature of living things, that it discounts the fact that all living things have needs worthy of respect and that it encourages people to ignore available evidence and wisdom and to submit themselves unnecessarily and unwisely to mystery and the thrill of failure.
I raise these issues today because I want to argue that they are central to what we teachers, students, scholars and practitioners of communication do. I want to argue that; but I am not entirely comfortable doing so. Perhaps you can help me by reflecting on three questions with me.
First, if we accept the interdependent, systemic nature of living things and if we agree that communication entails both sending and receiving within some kind of relationship or community, why do so many of our departments insist of fragmenting the undergraduate Communication major?
The larger our departments the more likely we are to have cohorts of majors who focus on parts of the proverbial elephant. "I major in interpersonal" they say, "not media, rhetoric or public relations" as if their interpersonal relations require no rhetorical adaptation to situations, or are unaffected by the shift from letters to instant messaging and cell phones. Too often we well intentioned faculty devise curricula that require our students to value the terministic screens that insulate them from their natural curiosity about the totality of human communication. Consequently, we too often wind up with graduates narrowly prepared to understand life in all its complex communicative complexity.
As our institutions increasingly call for interdisciplinarity, it behooves us to reflect upon what is truly important for those who major in Communication to know. I want to suggest that we reconsider the core concerns of those who would proclaim themselves Communication majors. I suggest that they include:
It seems to me that these five concerns both undergird and transcend our specialties, but they are too often lost in the shuffle of curricular revisions. Each of our departments can approach these five concerns in our own ways, but if we lose sight of them we risk failing to teach the systemic nature of the communication process that our majors seek to understand.
My second question is why we spend so much time on expression if we truly believe that all persons are worthy of respect. Students often emphasize "getting my point across" and it seems that everyone posts information on My Space or blogs. But who listens?
Does the drive to write and say more and more reflects keenly felt ideas or content? I tend to doubt it. Instead, I suspect that people post and say more and more out of a frustration that nobody is paying any real attention to them. We have, in this digital age, unprecedented outlets for expression; but expression alone is not communication. In a bygone day we saw pairs of students walking across campus talking, sometimes holding hands; today they walk across campus – each talking on their cell phones. In the chaotic radio days of the 1920s Secretary of Commerce and Labor Herbert Hoover is reputed to have observed that, "There is no freedom of speech when everyone talks at the same time." I think we must ask ourselves if our courses adequately challenge our students to read and listen, attentively and sensitively to what others are trying to say. I have yet to encounter a student who was not surprised to find that Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation would have allowed the continuation of slavery in any county that put down its arms by his deadline. Nor have I encountered any who realized that the Senate did not vote for war in Iraq, but voted instead to authorize President Bush to use his judgment regarding Iraq. Just as President Lincoln and the U.S. Senate deserve to have their messages understood, so do our families, friends and co-workers.
My third question follows from the second. What has become of our attention to the importance of shared, scrutinized evidence and wisdom? Cell phones, web bookmarks, niche marketed cable TV and radio programs, satellite radio and other recent technologies connect us. But as Kenneth Burke would have told Marshall McLuhan, what connects us also divides us, such that we have not a Global Village but a Globe of Villages.
Consider two neighbors who drive their air conditioned cars with one radio tuned to Rush Limbaugh and the other to NPR. They push their automatic garage door buttons, go inside and log onto their computers. There they respectively order goods from Netflix and LL. Bean, check their bank balances and manuscript progress, and get their news from Fox News and MSNBC. Are these neighbors or strangers? Communication technologies enable them to live in proximity without living in communication with one another. Their technologies enable them to find what they like and to like whatever they find, while avoiding discrepant information. And by avoiding discrepant information both neighbors avoid the unpleasant but crucial task of scrutinizing the evidence and wisdom to which they are privy.
As a college student I liked essay questions of the sort that said, "Agree or disagree with the following statement" or "Take a position on the following statement and support your position with course materials." I have frequently used that format with good results over the past thirty years of teaching. But recently something strange has been happening. Students expressing unsupported (or poorly reasoned) opinions have been objecting that they had agreed (or disagreed) with the position, that they are entitled to their opinions and that there is no way for us as teachers to evaluate or judge their opinions. This trend, I think, comes from our willingness to allow them to avoid the critical evaluation of arguments and evidence. Arguments for our students are too often seen as personal, to be resolved only by "agreeing to disagree" rather than by examining closely our reasons for disagreeing, with an open-minded willingness to change.
So it is that I read recently that "a candidate who opposes Affirmative Action should not tell that to an African-American audience." Really? Is that African-American audience not entitled to hear the reasons why some people think Affirmative Action should be ended? Should said candidate not seek to reason with those who might be expected to need persuading? Should all parties to the issue not seek to engage one another in a reasoned exchange toward creating a more perfect Union? Is that not the purpose of communication?
Forty years ago today we cancelled our Memphis convention because of the brutal murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and we pledged to bridge differences with communication. This is my 32nd SSCA Convention (clearly if I were not at all superstitious, a Life Membership would have been a good investment). During those 32 years we have seen our profession evolve in a variety of positive ways. But as we have done so we made some choices that have fragmented the Communication major, emphasized expression over respectful listening and reduced our insistence that students and faculty engage and consider evidence and arguments with which they believe they will disagree. As a result, we too often seek comfort with those who share our intellectual predispositions. This does not foster community. We can restore our core concerns without relinquishing our new areas of study by reconsidering our core requirements. If we do so, we will affirm the systemic interconnectedness of people in communication, the worth of the opinions each of us wishes to express, and the importance of shared and scrutinized evidence and wisdom. But if we fail to do that, I fear that we will facilitate the emergence of a society that is indeed like a box of chocolates – discrete beings, knowable from a distance and perhaps individually quite tasty, but benefiting not at all from the dynamic interchange that is human communication.

Sensing capabilities can be given to structures by externally attaching sensors or by incorporating such sensors within the structure during manufacturing. Some of the sensing materials used for this purpose include optical fibers, piezoelectric materials, 'tagging' particles, etc. You will find a detailed description of the corresponding sensors in Sects. 3, thus there is only a brief overview here.

zero-trust model (zero trust network)
The zero trust model is a security model used by IT professionals that requires strict identity and device verification regardless of the user's location in relation to the network perimeter. The model is based on the assumption that all users, devices and transactions are already compromised, regardless of whether they're inside or outside of the firewall. By limiting which parties have privileged access to each segment of a network, or each machine in a secure organization, the number of opportunities for a hacker to gain access to secure content is greatly reduced. A network that implements the zero trust model is referred to as a zero trust network.
The main tenet of zero trust security is that vulnerabilities often appear when companies are too trusting to individuals or outsiders. Therefore, the model suggests that no user, whether inside or outside the network, should be trusted by default.
The term zero trust was introduced by an analyst at Forrester Research in 2010, with vendors like Google and Cisco adopting the model shortly after.
Importance of the zero trust model
The traditional approach to network security is known as the castle-and-moat model. The focus of this concept is that gaining access to a network from the outside is difficult, but once inside, users are automatically trusted. This becomes harder to manage as organizations keep their data distributed across multiple locations, applications and cloud services.
The zero trust model acknowledges that focusing only on perimeter security is not effective. Most data breaches occur when hackers successfully bypass an organization's firewall and are then granted authentication into internal systems. Therefore, the zero trust model is a stronger approach to protecting important resources.
Fundamentals of the zero trust model
While there are various technologies and principles that can be used to enforce zero trust security, the basic fundamentals include:
- Eliminated trust- No user or device should be trusted by default.
- Least-privileged access- Users should receive the minimum amount of access necessary.
- Microsegmentation- Security perimeters and network components are broken into smaller segments with individual access requirements.
- Risk management analytics- All network traffic should be logged and inspected for suspicious activity.
How to implement the zero trust model
Some best practices for introducing zero trust security to an organization include:
- Keep network security policies updated, review them for vulnerabilities and test their effectiveness periodically.
- Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users without exception.
- Validate all devices that try to log into the network and only allow access to those that meet security standards.
- Rely on network segmentation, microsegmentation and perimeter segmentation to secure individual aspects of the network.
- Maintain as much visibility as possible throughout the organization to avoid abuse of access that could lead to a data breach.
- Review the list of user accesses and administrators frequently.

After our first meeting with Mr R, we were able to establish the true value of the assets of his inheritance. Although on paper he was a millionaire, without a job or a regular source of income, he certainly didn't see himself that way and was concerned about making ends meet.
We guided Mr R through our Lifestyle Planning Process to find out what is important about money to him. A fairly typical picture emerged:
- Money was important for financial security. He wants to feel safe.
- Having financial security gives him time to enjoy the things he loves, like playing the guitar, going to concerts, and eating out more often.
- He wants to be able to enjoy life, to afford holidays and enjoy a few luxuries.
We probed a bit more to find out if there were any changes to his lifestyle that would have significant importance for him. What became apparent was the extent of his passion for music and his ambition to travel around the USA paying homage to his music legends; something he had always seen as an indulgence and something he never felt he could afford to do.
A key part of the Lifestyle Planning process is to model Mr R's future cash flows, based on the information he shared with us, and taking into account key milestone events and significant scenarios.
With our help, Mr R has a good understanding about the assets of his inheritance from his parents and how they can be used to generate the income he needs. Mr R now has the peace of mind that he can pay the necessary bills and have a bit left over to enjoy life. He has the comfort of knowing that his finances are in good order, with a plan in place that is reviewed annually to keep it line with any changes to his circumstances or legislation. Most important of all, Mr R has a smile from ear to ear as he plans his itinerary for his trip to the USA for the holiday of his life. Something he never thought possible until he was introduced to Chamberlain Stean & West.

How to spot bad data, and know the limitations when it's good
Accurate and reliable data can bring context to research studies, help people understand trends, aid business managers in knowing what's working well for achieving company goals and much more. However, not all data is as beneficial as it seems at first. Bad data can negate all the positive factors of trustworthy information.
Sometimes there are glaringly apparent imperfections in data that IT decision-makers spot right away. For example, they might find various misspelled names, incidences where an entry appears two or more times in a list but should only be there once, or date-related inaccuracies.
If the date field of a spreadsheet indicates that February has 30 days, that's a clear oversight. However, there are other telltale signs of bad data that aren't always evident by visual means alone.
Data May Be Biased
People who work with data may unintentionally or purposefully look for data that supports their findings or theories. When it happens automatically, it's a phenomenon called confirmation bias, where people search for and notice information that aligns with their views while ignoring material that does not.
Using data responsibly and being mindful of potential bad data means working hard to neutralize bias and potentially taking the step of depending on someone who has a neutral stance to fact-check the material.
The Danger of Untrusted or Desperate Sources
The world became reacquainted with the concept of fake news due to the Trump administration and the circumstances surrounding his election. Spotting bad data may mean verifying the sources that revealed specific, externally gathered statistics.
If a person reads a headline that declares 95 percent of businesses got attacked by a hacker during a given year, they might accept it as fact without checking the source of that alarming claim. If it came from a news outlet such as The New York Times, The Washington Post or The Guardian, those are three well-known sources that would not knowingly damage their reputations by publishing inaccurate news.
However, what if those hacking statistics came from a security firm that only got established in a community last month and had a history of trying misleading tactics in the United Kingdom before transferring to the United States? Then, it might be the case that the company is lying or using other eyebrow-raising strategies to make people scared about getting hacked and feel compelled to use the business's services.
Scientists have also manipulated data in research studies to make it highlight certain conclusions. Then, other investigators waste time and money to replicate the findings and later realize they were chasing a hopeless cause. Plus, companies citing the data could also be accused of fraud due to mere association with the doctored statistics.
Evaluating the worthiness of data involves determining whether it's possible that the people or company responsible for its publication might be trying to enhance their reputation, bolster profits or enjoy another advantage that goes beyond keeping people informed.
How Bad Data Causes Harm
Data scientists, marketing managers and other people working with data aren't always honest about the limitations of data — and there may be gaps in the way it's managed that cause inaccuracy. If decision-makers put too much emphasis on flawed data, they may make mistakes and feel less confident about using data to educate their conclusions in the future.
A 2016 survey of CEOs found 84 percent of them felt concerned about the quality of data they used while making decisions. And they have valid reasons for feeling wary — bad data could cause financial repercussions if business leaders put too much trust in material that's ultimately lacking.
It's also crucial to consider the wasted time from bad data. When professionals engage in data-driven marketing, they may be relying on content filled with non-human influences such as bots or malware. If that happens, they could get false perceptions of customers' journeys at websites or the factors that cause them to linger on certain pages versus others.
There are reputational risks, too. If a company releases public research that later gets proven inaccurate, it'll be difficult for that entity to encourage trust in future material.
When business leaders blindly trust data — especially when making decisions — they inevitably set the stage for problems. Staying aware of the characteristics of bad data discussed here is an excellent first step in being proactive. Furthermore, people who deal with data must be mindful of its limitations and demonstrate honesty when disclosing those shortcomings to others.

While I expect Arsenal to win the derby on Sunday, I've been very impressed with what Mauricio Pochettino has done at White Hart Lane.
After years of Tottenham not being able to compete with Arsenal in terms of Champions League qualification, the Argentine has taken them back into the top four. And made them formidable rivals to us
Pochettino has got the club striving for the very best. Their training facilities are excellent and when you have the best of everything around you, it creates a crispness in what you do on the pitch.
Arsenal remain the bigger club globally and although Tottenham have some way to go, they are doing better at catching up under pochettino than any other manager i can recall. You could say they are 10 years behind in terms of the development of their stadium but on the pitch there has been a meteoric rise under the likeable Argentine.
There will have been a nervousness among Arsenal fans about what he was achieving last season and it wouldn't have gone down well at all if Tottenham had won the league.
The rivalry depends to some extent on where the teams are in the table but with both in the top four it is getting even bigge
back in the day, the derby seemed to go to another level as Sol Campbell arrived at Arsenal. Tottenham's captain had joined their arch rivals. You looked into the crowd and you saw anger. As a player or fan for that matter it felt like you were going to war. You relish that atmosphere — you don't take a backwards step.
Tottenham go into this game having scored just twice in their last five games and without a win in six in all competitions but it would be wrong of Arsenal to underestimate them — especially with the extra effort a derby brings out.
Dele Alli is an outstanding footballer with a great career ahead of him. He is probably Tottenham's most dangerous player. Arsenal must also be wary of the threat Kyle Walker possesses down the right. Mousa Dembele going off injured against Bayer Leverkusen was a huge blow given his importance to the team. It looked like Victor Wanyama missed having the Belgian alongside him.
Arsenal are in such a strong position — they have won 12 of their last 15 games — and I'm backing them to win 2-0 on Sunday, with goals from Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
Arsenal have made mockery of predictions past of mine…but i just cant see anything other than 3 stonking points for the Arsenal.
Team news
Five Arsenal players face fitness tests ahead of Sunday's Premier League north London derby at home to rivals Tottenham.
Theo Walcott (hamstring) is likely to be in contention but doubts remain over Santi Cazorla (achilles), Nacho Monreal (muscular), Hector Bellerin (unspecified) and Kieran Gibbs, who suffered a shoulder injury in the Champions League win over Ludogorets on Tuesday.
Elsewhere, Granit Xhaka is available having served a three-game domestic ban after being sent off against Swansea, while Lucas Perez (ankle), Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck (both knee) are definite absentees.
Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Debuchy, Jenkinson, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Koscielny, Mustafi, Gibbs, Monreal, Elneny, Coquelin, Ramsey, Xhaka, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Walcott, Reine-Adelaide, Iwobi, Sanchez, Akpom, Giroud.

Many students will be busy with exams and assignments during this time, so why not read our article on healthy Korean foods that are wholesome and nutritious, to help you along? Try some of these foods to give your brain a boost!
Samgyetang 삼계탕
This is a type of soup, with the main ingredients being chicken, ginseng and jujube/red dates. Ginseng and jujube are traditionally thought to have medicinal properties. Drinking samgyetang is warming and the chicken provides a good source of protein. Just what students need to keep them going through long periods of study!

Jeongol 전골
Our next suggestion is jeongol! This is a hot stew cooked in a pot; you can add delicious ingredients to a broth base and let the flavours develop as they cook together. We recommend adding a lot of nutritious vegetables such as mushrooms and Korean radish. You could even make it a vegetarian dish by omitting meat and adding dubu (tofu)! Sharing your finished jeongol dish with family and friends is an excellent way to relax and unwind from study stress!

Doenjang 된장
Doenjang is a thick sauce; a fermented paste made from soybeans. It is highly nutritious and is thought to provide certain vitamins, minerals and amino acids. You can simply add a little of the paste to a lettuce wrap along with some healthy protein like lean meat or prawns and rice (ssam-bap) or even added to soup broths. There are a lot of possibilities with doenjang, so why not look into giving it a try?

Hoppang 호빵
Hoppang is a warm street snack. They are steamed buns with hot fillings! Having something warm to eat boosts your mood, and these are a healthier option to fried and oily snacks. For more benefits, choose a vegetable filling (good for heart health and blood pressure), you can even get sweet potato or pumpkin inside!

There are many types, including green tea (nok-cha), citron tea (yu-ja-cha), ginger tea (saeng-gang-cha), jujube tea (dae-chu-cha), root tea (ssang-hwa-cha)…and loads more! Use tea to ease your mind after a hard day. Find one that is to your taste, there are plenty to choose from!

IGCSE, GCE A Level Biology, UKCAT & BMAT
Lesson schedule

Students feedbacks
Tutor information
General information
I have studied Biology at the National Kapodistrian University of Athens and I am the Biology and Physics teacher at the American School of Paphos. I am the co-director of the Paphos Educational Centre where I teach all levels of Biology, Maths, Physics and Chemistry. I also assist students in choosing a university and helping them with their application.
I have been tutoring for 4 years and due to excellent results I was offered my first teaching job at the American School of Paphos before I even received my Biology degree.
Experience: 4 years
About me
My name is Maria Kashouli and I currently teach Biology at the American Academy School of Paphos in Cyprus.
I also tutor Biology, Maths, Physics and Chemistry at the Paphos Educational Centre.
I have also tutored students for the UKCAT and BMAT exams.
My goal during lessons is to find each individual students way of learning, rather than simply memorising, and have found that all students are potential A* students if they simply enjoy what they are trying to learn.
I will be providing extra material such as worksheets and tests and will have constant communication with students.
Lessons will only be 45 minutes long as our brains can only focus on a given task for so long.
My end goal is to guide students to study themselves as it is more effective to be able to teach yourself rather than to always rely on a teacher.

Why Students Want Top College Term Paper Writers
Writing a term paper can be very daunting and challenging. It is a complicated assignment that may require a student to conduct research, take notes, organize and analyze data and then produce a report. Doing all this sure takes time. Most students are so occupied by academics and work that they have no time to write the papers. They need the services of college term paper writers so that everything is done nicely and on time.
Many students simply lack the concepts needed to do the assignment. Among the flaws of the modern education system is that educators teach too much in very limited time. Accordingly, students have too much to absorb and understand. Learners seek tutors and experts outside school when they are lagging behind or finding it difficult to catch up. Fortunately, you can rely on our professional team for all your college term papers.
We Are Fully Capable of Helping You Out
If you place an order at our site, we can solve all these problems. In fact, if you are facing any other challenges as well, such as lack of access to the literary sources for getting information and citing in the paper, our team can address such issues as well. Let us introduce you to our company in some detail. We have been selling custom college term papers since 2010. Our prime objective has been to help out the students so that their academic performance improves.
The originality of work and uniqueness of ideas are the defining qualities of our service. We maintain a zero-plagiarism policy, so clients can safely use the content we provide them with. In our nine years of service, we have delivered genuine college term paper help to thousands of students from all over the world. We write at all academic levels, so all students can benefit from our site whether they are enrolled in schools, colleges, or universities.
You may not be able to do the assignment because of a shortage of time, but our writers can. They work as full-time writers on our website. Also, we have memberships and subscriptions of plenty of academic databases, so our writers can access papers based on latest research. In addition to that, their years of experience guide them in choosing the appropriate methodology, layout, and content for your paper.
The Value You Get When You Buy College Term Paper from Us
The biggest advantage of getting the work done by us is learning. You need help, probably because you don't know how to write a term paper. The paper you get from us will serve as a model. You will learn how term papers are done, what kind of content they have, how research is done, and how information is cited from credible sources. The next time you get the task of doing it, you may not need to buy college term paper because of your knowledge and practice.
One of our biggest goals has always been to provide the clients with value for their money. We charge very little for our help, to begin with. Anyone who has used other academic websites knows how much they charge for simple papers. If you compare those rates with our prices, you will easily figure out how cheap our service is. We have kept low rates understanding that many students are living on a budget and they are not in the earning phase yet.
The best part is – you don't just get a low price per page at our college term paper writing service, but you also receive other financial incentives. For example, as a first-time customer, you will be qualified for a discount of 15%. In addition to that, we will store a part of the payment you make in your account on our website. You can use it to pay for an order in the future. That's your bonus, and you will get it on every order you place at this site.
How We Deliver High-Quality Custom College Term Papers
We work as a team. Our organizational system is very well-organized, and we work according to a structured process. Individual departments play their role in ensuring the delivery of top-class service to the clients. Some of them include quality assurance departments, administration, and writers. When you place your order, your first interaction will be with the administrators. Whether you place it directly or initiate a chat by opening the 24/7 Live Chat feature, someone from our administrators' team will attend your query and help you out.
Administrators play an active role in fostering the best cooperation and communication between the writers and the customers. They have the contact information of the person who will write college term paper. So in case you want an urgent response to your question from him/her, and that writer is busy writing the paper, you may call the administrators to get you an instant response. The message board is a platform for free communication between writers and customers, and the administrators monitor the conversation to ensure the quality and efficiency of information transfer.
The quality assurance team ensures that our college term papers for sale satisfy the customers. After a writer has finished writing it, the paper is passed on to the quality assurance team. They read the order's instructions and check if the paper satisfies them. Papers are checked for the correctness of grammar, punctuation, the relevance of ideas, content's originality, and uniqueness, besides other factors. Only after the team has approved a paper is it delivered to the client.
We Don't Just Write College Term Paper, We Also Offer Other Services
The kind of service we provide depends upon what is required by a client. Some customers ask us to write papers from scratch for them, while others need editing or proofreading services. We do it all – in fact, we also rewrite and summarize the papers. It is up to you what you ask us to do. You may place an order for writing alone or ask for a combination of services mentioned before.
Here's How You Can Get Our College Term Paper Help
The process of ordering a paper here is very basic. All you need to do is get your requirements set. Once they are ready, it won't take you more than three minutes to finish the procedure. Just press the 'order' tab at our home page. It will reflect the order form on your screen. Simply:
- Fill out all its sections.
- Transfer the order's payment.
- Collaborate with the writer.
The order form comes with drop-down options for most fields. If you have detailed instructions, there is a section to write them down as well. You can use the link in the form to upload the files containing additional information or instructions.
"How can I pay for my college term paper outline?" You can do it in different ways. We give our clients the option of paying through Visa, American Express or MasterCard. All of these are very simple and transparent means of processing the order's fee. Most clients pay using Visa because they have debit cards of their banks. You will instantly be notified when your payment has processed.
After you have sent the money, we start searching for a suitable writer for your order. While all our writers are very talented, we determine the eligibility of a writer to work on your task based on the match between your requirements and his/her education, skills, and areas of expertise. If you have any questions, you can ask the writer directly using the message board. You may also talk to the administrators using the same platform.
Are You Looking for Guarantees?
"What is the surety that I will get a top-class service if I ask you to write my college term paper?" We understand that new customers are typically interested in learning about guarantees. They haven't tried out the service before, so they need to be certain that they will get value for their money. Therefore, we offer you the following guarantees:
- Your term paper will have all the original content.
- It will be finished and delivered to you within the deadline.
- If you have any comments, they will be addressed for free.

The Georgia Press Association recognized the work of Brinson Askew Berry's Bob Berry and Frank Beacham for their work representing the Catoosa County News in its efforts to remain the county's publisher of legal notices.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press of Tennessee was trying to become the legal organ for the county but a Superior Court judge in Catoosa County ruled the Free Press did not meet the state requirements to become Catoosa's legal organ newspaper.
Under Georgia law, the legal organ newspaper must be published for at least two years within the county that it is to serve, unless there is no newspaper in the county already doing so.

"That time we went on that picnic, you remember?" she says, "There was that chicken you'd gotten us, and that strawberry fizzy drink. You told me that nothing beat fried chicken for picnics, which is true. We just talked a lot, I liked that."
She doesn't mention it's also because he didn't mention her the entire day, that it was one of the first times it had just been them and their conversation, and their trip, but he knows. He knows how much it hurts her, and he's tried to stifle it, but he can't. Rose is always there, looming over his shoulder.
And, even now, sitting on a building top in the year 3145, Rose is still looming, still waiting, still perching, and it stains the trip for Martha, and he wishes he could fix that.
He takes a breath and nods, flipping through the next page of Men Are From Mars, the 31st Century Edition. The sum knowledge of the human emotional system, in easy-to-read format with user-friendly print. It's really quite fascinating, and he's decided to go through the book with Martha, despite her many, many protests.
"Right," he says, "Now, uh, 'Did you have any childhood pets'?"
"I don't think so," she snaps, "If you're playing the 'getting to know your roommate' game from that book, that means you have to answer the question, too."
"I've read the 21st Century edition, and I know it hasn't changed that much."
She rolls her eyes, "Oh, come on, Doctor. You've been alive, like, a billion years or something, right? That means you've got to have at least one perfect day in there."
He sighs, and she looks decidedly unimpressed. Frustrating woman, that one. Going to make quite a brilliant doctor, standing down patients who don't want to offer up any sort of information.
"My perfect day...hold on a second, got a 'billion years' to go through here," he says, shooting her an annoyed look. He could lie, of course. Say that the picnic was his best day, too, and give Martha that thrill of being something perfect in his life. But, then again, she is smart, and it wouldn't take her long to realize he'd lied, and that would hurt worse. So, he sorts out his memories, tries to pick one.
There were the days in Rome, arguing with Nero, to consider. Or riding in a canoe with Jamie, fleeing Cybermen. Or zipping along the sky in his ship with Sarah Jane. Or France with Romana. Cricketing with the Cranleighs. Fishing and never catching gumblejack. Walking away from a burning planet with Ace. Hugging Charley and knowing she was safe when she should've died many times before.
"Once," he says, finally, "I was traveling, obviously. With Rose."
The last was said as an afterthought, but the way her lips tighten, he can tell it's stained the story for her. He can tell, though she'll never say it. She's not the perfect day, not now, and she doesn't think she ever will be.
"We landed in the Blitz. Middle of a raid, actually. And there was this boy. This strange, strange little boy who wore a gas mask and could make any phone ring, even the one in the grill outside the TARDIS. He was always looking for his Mummy, and if he touched you, he made you like him."
"What was he like?" she asks.
"He was empty," he replies, automatically, "Changed an entire hospital and army regiment to be like that. Nanogene error. The first thing they saw was a terrified, injured boy with a gas mask, and they thought that was what people were supposed to be like. The whole world was becoming like that boy. Gas-masked, terrified, and searching for their Mummy."
She doesn't see the picture, and that's all right, really. She still can gauge the bad of the situation from the way he's talking.
"How did you stop it?"
He smiles, "I didn't. It was Nancy. She was the boy's mother, had him at sixteen or so, completely taboo in that time era. She confessed to the boy that she was his Mummy, and the nanogenes realized their error, recognized the healthy woman as human, changed everyone back."
Martha smiles a little, but she still doesn't understand.
"Everyone lived," he said, firmly, "Everyone, Martha. No one who touched the boy died, they all turned back into themselves. No one had to be sacrificed, no pawns had to walk in the way of danger to save others. It was beautiful, and...I...I don't get many days, like that. Where everyone lives."
He turns his head to look back down at the city below them. Midgar, the planet is, or was, at one point. Slow urban decay and overpopulation has brought the planet to near death, completely demolished and full of terror and disease.
Martha wanted him to take her somewhere new, somewhere he hadn't been before. By that, she meant somewhere he hadn't taken Rose, so he picked somewhere he didn't think Rose would like. He figures it was perhaps not the wisest of choices, but Martha hasn't complained, not yet.
It is still beautiful. Smoke cresting from shattered building tops, the sight of mountains crumbling in the distance, black water sparkling in a two-sunset. They're too far up to hear the screams and the dying, they can just see the world as it is: a planet.
"You'll have another day like that," she promises, and she slides one of her hands over to take his.
He doesn't respond for a moment, but eventually he curls his fingers around hers and nods.
It may not be a perfect day, but it rates up there on the list.
