German football has arguably never been in such a strong and healthy state. The future for both the German national team and Bundesliga clubs looks exceedingly bright. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have dominated in the Champions League this season whilst Schalke 04 have demonstrated great potential.
Bundesliga clubs have clearly benefited from a masterplan by the German Football Association (DFB) in 2000 to radically improve their footballing infrastructure. Fundamental to the current success of German football is that the DFB and Bundesliga clubs work in harmony to their mutual benefit. As a result of the investment in youth development and coach training, Bundesliga clubs have seen the emergence of academy-produced home-grown talent. This, in turn, has helped the German national team which now includes highly talented young players like Özil, Khedira, Müller, Götze, Reus and Kroos.The second and final article of this series examines the recent success of the top two German teams Bayern Munich and Borussia Dormund and, in particular, their employment of 'gegenpressing' (or counter-pressing) as part of their tactical repertoire. An intriguing question is whether the ultra-organised, ultra-commited, cohesive defensive and attacking approach employed so successfully by Bayern and Dortmund has the potential to become the new force in European football and dominate over the Spanish possession-based tiki-taka style? BORUSSIA DORTMUND AND KLOPP'S GEGENPRESSING TACTIC Without doubt, the huge success of Barcelona and the Spanish national side presented European and international football with a significant problem. The challenge has been to develop a tactical approach capable of triumphing over tiki-taka. Let's consider Borussia Dortmund's solution. Their astute manager Jürgen Klopp studied the Barça style in great detail but, importantly, he didn't set out to imitate tiki-taka. Instead, he developed the gegenpressing style of play. How Gegenpressing WorksGegenpressing differs from Barcelona's approach of pressing teams as high up the pitch as possible by incorporating a defensive as well as attacking element, which involves the whole team pressing aggressively in unison. Gegenpressing is a highly-organised approach to regaining possession and minimising space for the opposition. Dortmund's opponents are rapidly closed down by well-rehearsed, co-ordinated pressing movements, often by two or more players, allied with intelligent positioning to restrict space for players to pass and move into. Klopp knows that possession of the ball without creating and taking goal-scoring opportunities means little. He also understands that for possession-based approaches like tiki-taka to be effective, players need space to pass and move in key areas, particularly the final third of the pitch. The Dortmund manager has described gegenpressing as "the best playmaker in the world. The best moment to win the ball is immediately after your team just lost it. The opponent is still looking for orientation where to pass the ball." Once Dortmund have regained possession, the transition from defence to attack is organised and, potentially, explosive. But, although Klopp is renowned for his commitment to open attacking football, he is no 'one trick pony'. Gegenpressing does not mean playing the same way all the time. Dortmund can play a variety of styles and formations, all underpinned by the gegenpressing approach. Against Real Madrid in the Champions League group stages this season, Madrid were allowed the majority of ball possession but the Dortmund players closely pressed Madrid players like Xabi Alonso to limit his ability to pass and bring others into the game. Klopp and his players did their homework to learn how to anticipate Madrid's play and successfully eliminated or restricted both the supply to and goal-scoring opportunities for the highly dangerous Cristiano Ronaldo. Klopp used gegenpressing to capitalise on Dortmund's ability to execute extremely quick transitions, moving the ball up the field as fast as possible. Ultra-Fast TransitionsSpeed of play matters very much to Klopp. This season, Dortmund's attack has taken on a new dimension with the acquisition of young German international Marco Reus. He and the young maestro Mario Götze (who has now signed for Bayern Munich), regarded by many as the new Messi-in-the-making, have brilliantly exploited the space between defence and midfield. Klopp has encouraged the pair to play as close together as possible. Dortmund's transitions have been even quicker than in previous seasons and Götze and Reus have created the vast majority of Dortmund's scoring chances. Anyone who has watched Dortmund this season can't fail to have been impressed by the chemistry and link-up play of Götze and Reus, referred to collectively as "Götzeus" because of their inventive interplay, involving almost telepathic passing and movement. This has added an additional layer of sophistication and unpredictability to Dortmund's play. Their lightening-quick attacking movements have capitalised on the devastating finishing of players like Polish international forward Lewandowski. A great example of this was the build-up to their opening goal against Malaga in the Champions League quarter-final. The speed of passing and movement that preceded Reus's fantastic mid-air back-heeled flick to put Lewandowski through to score was sublime. Work EthicBut let's not forget that Dortmund's technical and individual brilliance is driven by high levels of motivation and commitment. Klopp has inspired his players to work extremely hard as a team, referring to this as "greed...the hunger to eat up that extra kilometer of grass." Klopp knows only too well that any tactical approach, including gegenpressing, won't bring success without sheer hard work. Earlier this season Klopp commented, "I want us to go to the limit every time. There's a saying: a good horse only jumps as high as it needs to. I've put it differently for my team: a really good horse jumps as high as it can. To give everything on the pitch, that's what we train for." Footbonaut TechnologyPressing opponents relentlessly throughout a game requires players to be as fit as is physically and technically possible. Klopp has trained his players to develop incredible stamina, as evidenced by their Bundesliga and Champions League running distance statistics. Dortmund certainly work tirelessly with and without the ball. However, in addition to fitness, Klopp astutely saw how cutting edge technology could improve players' technique and help them to develop razor-sharp reactions. In a previous article "Jürgen Klopp's Dortmund: Masters of Technology and Technique", I described how Klopp introduced a highly sophisticated computerised ball feeding machine called Footbonaut to Dortmund's training regime. This technology has improved players' reaction time, ball control, spatial awareness and peripheral vision. According to Klopp, Dortmund are the only team in the world to use Footbonaut. The technology fits perfectly with Klopp's philosophy of playing football at devastating speed and with razor-sharp precision. Klopp is part of a new breed of coaches who see the great benefit of programming players' brains to react more quickly, almost instinctively, on the pitch. BAYERN MUNICH FIND THE FINAL PIECE OF THE JIGSAW Let's now consider the reasons for the upturn in the fortunes of Bayern Munich this season. Many believe that this has been due to learning from Jürgen Klopp's successful Dortmund team. For example, after seeing their rivals Borussia Dortmund win consecutive Bundesliga titles, Bayern worked hard in pre-season to avoid a repeat of previous seasons where they played, at times, beautiful football but won nothing. Munich added gegenpressing to their tactical repertoire. It has given Jupp Heynckes' side a valuable additional dimension. Bayern can now play a variety of styles that includes a possession-based, almost tiki-taka style, introduced by Heynckes' predecessor Louis van Gaal. However, Klopp is not impressed by how Bayern went about improving their chances of success, comparing their approach to Chinese businessmen saying, "They look at what the others are doing, and then they copy it with other people and more money. And then they overtake you." Bayern certainly spent big on some players like €40m Javi Martinez, a defensive midfielder signed from Atlético Madrid, who has helped them become a more solid unit. Bayern have also added some steel to their defending. They have conceded just 15 goals in the Bundesliga this season. To emphasise this point, the next best defensive team, FC Freiburg, have conceded 38 times. Their defensive play has often looked imperious against top sides in Champions League encounters. According to Manuel Neuer, the Bayern goalkeeper, the key to Bayern's success is that "the whole team defends well, covers spaces well, when we lose the ball we go and win it back." Manager Jupp Heynckes has highlighted his team's improved cohesive and team effort saying, "We have improved this season, we are better defensively and at switching play. The thing that pleases me is that every player has to realise that they have to defend and attack." Arjen Robben who has previously played in the Premier League for Chelsea and in La Liga for Real Madrid echoed Heynckes' comments. When asked why Bayern dominated in the Champions League this season he said, "We play as a team, not just going forward but, more importantly, defensively. We are very well organised and everyone knows their job. Don't give them space and, first and foremost, be organised." Matthias Sammer, appointed as Bayern's sporting director at the start of the season, says succinctly "The good results are the upshot of hard work." And there is little doubt that the fluidly and cohesiveness of Bayern's play this season has been underpinned by a tremendous work ethic, especially in limiting space for their opponents. They have refined their pressing game to the point where they have managed to nullify the influence of great playmakers like Sergio Busquets of Barcelona and Andrea Pirlo of Juventus in the Champions League. Javi Martinez's defensive midfield partnership with Bastian Schweinsteiger has contributed significantly to Bayern's improved pressing game. Bayern's great speed and flair in transitions from defence to attack have capitalised on the pace and finishing of Robben, Ribery, Müller and Mandzukić to punish opponents. In the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, Bayern executed the gegenpressing tactic brilliantly to take full advantage of the space Barcelona leave when they push high upfield. Heynckes astutely observed how vulnerable Barcelona could be after losing possession to a team that can attack cohesively in numbers and at great pace. Other Factors in Bayern's Success Bayern's successful season owes much to the gegenpressing tactic but, in truth, it is one of many tactical approaches that Bayern can utilise in games. Let's consider a number of other key contributory factors in Bayern's success this season. Über Team SpiritKarl-Heinz Rummenigge has been Bayern's Executive Board Chairman since 1991 and has been involved with the club for over 30 years. Rummenigge has spoken about the extraordinary team spirit that sets the current squad apart from previous Bayern teams, many of whom achieved great domestic and European success. Rummenigge believes this is due to the willingness of each player to work towards the shared mission of the team rather than focus on individual desires. This season Bayern have been stronger because of Heynckes' concerted efforts to make his players more competitive and develop a hunger for success. He instilled into his players the importance of never being satisfied or doing just enough to win. His plan was for every member of his squad to think and feel they were part of a team and to contribute as much as possible to the team effort. Strength in DepthClub chairman Rummenigge believes Bayern's squad quality and strength in depth has played a key role in their success this year, saying, "I learned this year that a team is made up of 24 rather than just 11 players." A lack of squad strength in depth is surely something that Barcelona must now be regretting after their demolition by the bouyant Bayern side. The Matthias Sammer EffectBoth Bayern and Dortmund have emerged as major forces in European football in no small measure because of their ability to fuse the renowned German physical strength and stamina with technical skills that, in the past, were associated only with South American and, more recently, Spanish players. Bayern's improvement this season has coincided with the astute appointment last summer of former German Football Association (DFB) technical director Matthias Sammer as sporting director. Sammer played an important part in devising the DFB's masterplan to transform Germany's youth development system. Sammer has helped Bayern to maximise players' physical and technical development. Similar to Jürgen Klopp at Dortmund, he has taken full advantage of advances in technology, sports science and sports psychology.And Finally......Barcelona's success in recent years provided a significant challenge to European clubs to develop players and formations capable of competing against the tiki-taka style. This season in the Champions League, Bayern and Dortmund have demonstrated that winning is about more than possession of the ball. We are witnessing the growing effectiveness of the gegenpressing approach, particularly in German football, involving ultra-fit, technically sophisticated players working extremely hard as cohesive defensive and attacking units. Many people are predicting that Bayern and Dortmund can emulate the recent achievements of Barcelona and go on to dominate European football in coming years. For now, in gegenpressing, it appears the Germans may have finally discovered an antidote to tiki-taka. What are your thoughts on this issue?
Your article is briliant, Paul.. It deepens our knowledge in football development. I would like to ask only one thing. If the Germans are so successful in youth development, then why is it that there are not so many very good young strikers in the Nationalmannschaft at the moment? Klose is 35 years old, Gomez is not the first choice in Bayern Munchen, Stefan Kieslling is not Low's favourite...Thank you, Paul
Romy, thank you so much for your comment. It's great to get such positive feedback. And thanks for your question, it's a very good one. Certainly, ass yet, few of the highly regarded young German strikers from U21 level and below have really emerged as candidates for the national senior team. Although great futures are predicted for young players like Ginczek, Sukata-Pasu, Polter and others, many are still struggling to breakthrough at club level. The Germans are fortunate to have an abundance of attacking midfield players like Müller, Götze, Reus and Schürrle who can support the striker. And they are even more fortunate to have the ageless Klose! Thanks again, Paul

Koster sues McGowan & Walsh over tax credits
- Matthew Hibbard
- Social Engagement Manager - St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook | Google+
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster has filed a lawsuit to recover tax credits for work never completed at the Cupples 9 development at Ninth and Spruce streets in downtown St. Louis.
The lawsuit was filed against Ballpark Lofts I LLC; McGowan & Walsh LLC, which owns Ballpark Lofts I LLC; and Kevin McGowan and Nathaniel Walsh, members of McGowan & Walsh LLC.
The suit claims that Ballpark I Lofts LLC, which owned Cupples 9, obtained more than $2.4 million in state Brownfield tax credits to offset environmental remediation costs associated with the redevelopment of Cupples 9, which included removing lead-based paint from the site, but failed to complete the remediation.
On March 31, 2010, Lafser & Associates Inc., an environmental consultant hired by McGowan & Walsh, submitted a report to the state on Ballpark's behalf that asserted that all lead-based paint was abated as of that time.
Ballpark Lofts I LLC subsequently sold the tax credits to a third party, preventing the state from canceling them, prompting Koster's suit.
A Koman Group affiliate, TKG Acquisitions LLC, foreclosed on the vacant Cupples 9 building that was part of McGowan & Walsh LLC's proposed $120 million historic redevelopment at Cupples Station downtown. TKG bought Cupples 9 at auction for $3 million from its previous lender, Bank of America. The Koman Group launched a $30 million redevelopment of the long-vacant, 117-year-old Cupples 9 building to include 147,000 square feet of office and retail space.
The Koman Group discovered the building still contained lead-based paint, and another inspection by the Department of National Resources and independent contractors found that the Cupples 9 building still contained unacceptable levels of lead, according to Koster's office.

Death of 2-year-old appears to have been accidental
KANORADO -- The death of a 2-year-old girl Monday appears to have been accidental, but a Sherman County Sheriff's Office investigation is ongoing, according to a statement from the sheriff's office.
Deputies were called to a Kanorado home at 7:24 p.m. to investigate a report of an unresponsive child, according to the statement. Upon arrival, deputies discovered adults attempting to resuscitate the girl.
Obituary information identifies the child as Brooke Rain Hansen, daughter of Tiffany and James L. Hansen III. A funeral service is planned at 2 p.m. Thursday at Bateman Funeral Home in Goodland.
Deputies attempted lifesaving measures until representatives of Northwest Kansas Emergency Medical Service arrived. The child was transported to Goodland Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead, according to the sheriff's office statement.
"No one should ever have to bear the loss of a child, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of great loss," the statement read.

With the winter sports season in full swing, it is important for parents to remember that, no matter how talented your child may be, there are going to be days when she doesn't play her best or when, despite her best effort, her team loses. How you manage both the ups and the inevitable downs will play a large role in whether your child has a successful youth sports experience.
As the 2013 high school football season enters the home stretch, with teams fighting to stay alive in the playoffs, or preparing for traditional end-of-the-season games on Thanksgiving morning, the risk of concussion is an ever-present concern.
But now is not the time to put winning ahead of safety.
Even in the best of times, studies show that high school football players face what one recently called a 'culture of resistance' to reporting to sideline personnel that they are experiencing concussion symptoms.
On Monday, I was able to catch up with three-time Olympic medalist Julie Chu, member of the U.S. Women's National Ice Hockey team, who just happens to be living and training for the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia in my neck of the woods outside Boston.
I decided it was a great time to ask her to reflect back on her hockey journey over the past twelve years, and to hear about how she and her team are preparing for the challenge of replacing the Canadian women atop the podium this time around.
The MomsTEAM staff and I are still digging into the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council's three-hundred-some-odd page report on sports-related concussions in youth sports,[1] but one thing jumped out at me at my first pass: When I did a search in the report for a discussion of impact monitoring devices (a/k/a hit sensors), I found only one brief mention of sensors in the committee's recommendation that the Centers for Disease Control fund large scale data collection efforts for research purposes, including data from impact sensors.
It has been an exciting week for those of us who worked so hard over the past two years to produce "The Smartest Team: Making High School Football Safer."
After kicking off with our premiere on Oklahoma Educational Television (OETA - PBS) in August, and with stations in North Carolina and Colorado having aired the documentary in September, the beginning of October marks the first full week of broadcasts on PBS stations in more than ten states.

Now that the concussion lawsuit filed by retired National Football League players has apparently been settled (remember: the judge still has to give her approval), it's time to focus on the upcoming football season, and working to make the sport safer at every level of the game.
We could sit back and wait for the N.F.L., National Federation of High School Associations (NFHS), USA Football and Pop Warner to lead the way on football safety.
Last week many of the technology manufacturers who have been working diligently to produce products to make helmeted sports such as football safer were dealt a severe, if not crippling, blow by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) when, out of the blue, it decided to view modification of helmets with third-party after-market add-ons as voiding its certification, which could only be regained if the helmet is retested with the add-on.
Two things have weighed heavily on my mind the past two weeks: the tornadoes that have ravaged the Oklahoma City area, and the professional and amateur storm chasers who risk their lives to follow them.
On May 20, 2013, as I watched coverage of the EF-5 Newcastle-Moore tornado on CNN, I was worried about the football community in Newcastle, a town I had grown to know, respect and appreciate over the 8 months I spent visiting last year while producing and directing The Smartest Team documentary.
It's May once again. Time for spring sports, warmer weather, longer days, and, of course, Mother's Day. This year, instead of celebrating mothers with the usual cards and flowers, I have put together a special wish list for the mothers, grand mothers, step mothers and other caregivers in this country with kids playing sports.
Here's this year's list:

Our 3 nights at Hotel Skeppsholmen were terrific. The room on the 2nd floor, deluxe with sea and garden view, was that and more. Fresh clean lines, quirky but entertaining fixtures in the bath, not a lot of storage but room for our cases- in short a pleasant refuge. The island is, indeed, in the middle of the city, but... More

Galaxy S4 quick questions, thinking of returning
Last Friday I switched to an S4 from an iphone, and have 14 days to return. After spending some time, it's pretty close to being setup how I want it to be, but there are a couple of things that are unnacceptable that I cannot figure out how to change:
The stock dialer / contacts app - I do not like the cartoon faces, and have too many contacts to put a generic pic in individually. I downloaded an iphone contacts app, but the caller id display was so small you couldn't read it. I then downloaded another dialer app but when I dial a call, or a call is connected, it defaults back to the stock dialer and the big cartoon face.
Any way to disable or uninstall the stock dialer without screwing things up so that the phone cannot be returned? Any way to get rid of the cartoon face and have text only?
Also, is there an app that combine the contacts, dialer, and visual voice mail? Seems silly to not have this combined.
Deleting text messages - when I "select all" of the text messages in a thread, it deletes the thread entirely. Is there a messaging app that deletes the messages only, without deleting the entire thread?
Thanks in advance - 08-28-2013, 11:03 PM #2
Re: Galaxy S4 quick questions, thinking of returning
Welcome to the forums and Android!!!!
For some reason something is nagging at me that if you connect to Facebook, the contact photos would sync. I can't confirm or deny, because I hate FB with a passion. I just seem to remember something about that. And I could even be mistaken. Otherwise, you could download the photos of your friends either from FB or find random funny pistures and edit them to your contacts. Just enter contact, menu, edit, then press the photo, I think. Sorry, kinda shooting from the hip here. I don't edit my contacts with photos.
COuld you elaborate on the merging of apps?
As for deleting one message, try long pressing the message. That should being up at least a delete option.
Hope those helped, and to see you in the forums still using the S4.

Re: Galaxy S4 quick questions, thinking of returning
I hope to figure this out, because I really like a lot about this phone.
Connecting to FB would cover maybe 5% of my contacts and it would take several days to individually insert pics. I'm like you, I do not want images next to the contacts...but I especially do not want a cartoon default icon - text only would be just fine.
On the merged app, one of the things I like about the iphone is the dialer app has contacts and visual voicemail built in. I cannot imagine why this is not available on the S4. - 08-29-2013, 09:02 AM #4
Re: Galaxy S4 quick questions, thinking of returning
I guess something else you could do is download either random images or just find a white background and insert into contacts.
As for the merging, I think I get what you are saying, but I think that was a result of the Apple and Samsung lawsuits. So, probably no dice there.

After a ridiculously long delay (been prepping for the release of Slick Pleasures...details to "come" on that one), we finally perfected the Scar and Stretch Mark Treatment.
I think you all will be pleased with the results, the scent, and the consistency - not to mention the results.
We did stick with the Java Lather scents, slightly subdued, and added more functional ingredients. We upped the Shea Butter content...and this will be offered in a HUGE 4 ounce jar.
Initial testing shows that a dime sized dollop is enough to cover around 2 square feet of skin...which means 4 ounces will last quite a long time.
Suggested retail will be $49.95, which means that at discount retailers like Nutraplanet it should come in at around $34.95.
As of now, we are awaiting the jars to arrive (anyday now). Eventually this will come in a quality outer packaging box, but I have had so many PMs threatening me if I didn't get this out ASAP that we will release just the jars.
You will not be disappointed.

Coburn report alleges waste in DHS grant program
- Staff Washington Business Journal
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., argues in a report released Wednesday that it is "uncertain" whether a $7 billion grant program administered by the Department of Homeland Security has contributed much to preparing the nation for a terrorist attack, Federal Times reports.
Coburn's report says state and local governments have tapped federal homeland security grants to pay for snow cone machines, sports stadium fortifications and a training simulation that highlighted a "zombie apocalypse."
The report criticized the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the branch of DHS with direct responsibility for the Urban Area Security Initiative program, and Congress for faulty oversight.

The Nasdaq Stock Market halted trading for Hoku Corp. shortly after the market opened Tuesday.
Trading will remain stalled until Hoku (Nasdaq: HOKU), a Honolulu-based solar energy products and services company, has satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information.
Last week, the troubled company said it has sufficient cash to fund its operations for only nine more weeks and that it may seek bankruptcy protection if it is unable to secure additional financing.
A Hoku Corp. spokeswoman told PBN Thursday that the company is working closely with Nasdaq and that more detailed information on the company's stock and its restructuring efforts will be released in the near future.
Hoku, which has a solar subsidiary in Honolulu and an unfinished and now-stalled polysilicon operation in Idaho under the name of Hoku Materials, said it expected to be delisted from the Nasdaq on or before July 10, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Hoku's stock fell below the $1-a-share minimum requirement on Dec. 1, and it reached a 52-week low of 7 cents last month. On Thursday, Hoku's stock was trading at 10 cents.
As of May 31, it had cash and cash equivalents of $5.8 million, other current assets of $7.6 million and current liabilities of $286.7 million.

Fire Department Response To Natural Gas Emergencies
As a service provider to the general public, fire departments are called upon to investigate gas odors these days. Most of the time these incidents can be classified as minor in nature and very little effort on the fire department's behalf will be required. Other times, however, we can find the situation to be more involved and require a great deal more of our resources.
As a service provider to the general public, fire departments are called upon to investigate gas odors these days. These odors more than likely come from a natural gas appliance or the pipelines supplying the appliance. Most of the time these incidents can be classified as minor in nature and very little effort on the fire department's behalf will be required. It can be as simple as the pilot light on an appliance being out. Generally, the local utility company will have a service representative respond and check the service as well as relight the pilot. Other times, however, we can find the situation to be more involved and require a great deal more of our resources.
Transmission Pipelines are used to convey natural gas from storage or production facilities to the local utility company. The pressure within the Transmission Pipeline has the potential of reaching 1200psi in most cases. Once the utility company receives the natural gas for distribution, the pressure will be lowered to accommodate its intended use. Under normal usage pressures seldom exceed 150 psi for high pressure distribution and generally are more around the 60 psi range, found in residential settings. A grid system is used by the utility company for distribution of the natural gas throughout their service area. This grid system is known as the Distribution Pipeline or Main Pipeline. Off this grid system, Service Laterals or Lines, deliver the natural gas to the customer.
Newer homes and small businesses have a low pressure gas meter located on the outside of the structure; however, it is not uncommon to find gas meters inside some of the older homes and businesses. Inside meters will be equipped with a vent pipe extending outside the structure. In the event of a malfunction, the gas is vented to the outside atmosphere. Every meter, will have a shut-off valve located on the supply side which is known as a stopcock, requiring one-quarter turn to shut off the flow of gas. Some larger services employ a standard valve as a shut off. Most low pressure service lines and all high pressure services will have an underground shut off valve at the street. On high pressure installations, a regulator is installed ahead of the meter to reduce the pressure for suitable use by the customer. Firefighters should have the knowledge and skills to shut off valves at the meter, however, only the utility company should shut down the valve at the street location.
Natural gas is not poisonous as it contains no significant amounts of carbon monoxide or for that matter any other toxic gases. Therefore, we can safely say that it has no toxic effect on human beings. However, if the concentration levels of natural gas start to exceed 25% in a confines space area it will start too displace most if not all the air in that space along with the oxygen. Due to the lack in oxygen, one can suffocate.
Natural gas is naturally occurring, largely hydrocarbon gas, recovered from wells. Natural gas is mostly methane, with lesser amounts of nitrogen, ethane, propane, and traces of butane, pentane, carbon dioxide and oxygen. The mixture can range from 72% - 95% methane and 3% - 13% ethane, less than 1% - 4% propane and less than 1% - 18% nitrogen. This combination makes natural gas lighter than air; having a vapor density that ranges between 0.59 and 0.72.

text: When Mysore was taking steps to check haphazard growth, the municipal body helped the administrators deliver it. And the rulers put in charge some of the finest administrators to lead the municipal body, earning it an honour of sorts: Two dewans of Mysore state headed the municipal body before they rose to the head of the princely state.It's been 150 years to the municipal administration in the princely town which has evolved into a mini-metro, and flipping through the pages of history reveal some interesting details. When Maharaja Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar was ruling the state, the government started the practice of appointing an administrator to lead the five-decades-old municipal body, which had elected representatives, to manage the affairs, indicating its seriousness about the growth of the city.

Areas of Interest and Research
Broadly, research in our lab explores how biotic interactions, resource availability, and species pools interact to govern the assembly, diversity, and functioning of plant communities. We are also interested in understanding the impacts of management and human-induced global changes on biodiversity and ecosystem function and applying this understanding to the conservation and restoration of native plant communities.

Bibliothecae Regiae Catalogus
by (GEORGE III)
Book Description
[Compiled by Frederick Augusta Barnard]. Mezzotint frontis. port. of George III (a little foxed), arms on each title, & two engraved views of the library serving as head- & tailpieces. Five vols. Large folio, cont. red straight-grained morocco (minor scuffing), panelled & tooled in gilt with centerpiece stamped monogram "GR" surmounted by a crown on covers, spines gilt, dentelles gilt, a.e.g. London: W. Bulmer & W. Nicol, 1820-29. The catalogue, "sumptuously printed" by Bulmer, of the magnificent library of King George III (1738-1820), donated to the nation by his son, George IV. This is a royal copy, having belonged to Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and the fifth son of George III, who became King of Hanover in 1837. It is superbly bound in red straight-grained morocco and printed on paper superior to other sets. "The kings of England had, from the end of the fifteenth century, always shown a certain taste for fine books, especially for the handsomer volumes of their own day...A new library was started in 1765 by King George III, when he purchased for £10,000 the valuable collection of incunabula (with a few manuscripts) brought together by Joseph Smith (1682-1770), the British Consul at Venice... "George III continued adding to his library for nearly fifty years, buying with considerable discrimination at all the notable sales of the period; he secured the best books at the West, Ratcliffe and Askew auctions, built up a magnificent collection of English plays, and kept on right up to the Roxburghe sale (1812). His usual agents were Messrs Nicol, the booksellers, but he seems to have obtained from the Continent some extremely valuable incunabula by the assistance of one Horn of Ratisbon, a great despoiler of the German convents... "There is a sumptuously printed but hastily compiled catalogue of which copies are seldom met with."De Ricci, pp. 55-56. "As a boy George III had received an excellent education. He learned Latin well enough to be able to read the classics; French and German; history, geography, and the British political system; mathematics and elementary science; art, architecture, and music. After he left the schoolroom he continued his education under the Earl of Bute, an inspiring if somewhat pedantic tutor...Under his tuition the King developed wide cultural interests, a reverence for scholarship, and the instinct of a collector... "The King's aim was...to acquire a library which contained every book which an eighteenth-century scholar could desire. It was a library to be used, not simply to be admired...It was, as far as it could be in the eighteenth century, a universal library...It is rich in library catalogues. In addition to the catalogues of British libraries, there are catalogues from France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, and Russia. There are over five hundred sale catalogues, most British and most with the prices marked... "It was the King's wish that a catalogue should be published, but he postponed this as long as possible. When it became clear after 1812 that the King would never recover, Queen Charlotte and the Prince Regent urged the preparation of a catalogue. It was compiled by Barnard and published between 1820 and 1829 in five folio volumes...It was never offered for sale but copies were presented to heads of state and the great libraries in the United Kingdom and on the Continent. It is today an extremely rare book."John Brooke, "The Library of King George III" in The Yale University Library Gazette, Vol. 52, No. 1 (July 1977), pp. 33-45. "Frederick Barnard had begun the catalogue of the books and manuscripts of the King's Library while it was at Buckingham House. The catalogue was completed...by Barnard and his staff for the Trustees of the British Museum and printed in five volumes between 1820 and 1829...Very few copies were printed, none for sale, and they are now very rare."Paintin, The King's Library, p. 22. This copy lacks the engraved frontispiece portrait of Bernard. A sixth volume, issued separately in 1829 and not present here, describes the maps, prints, and drawings. A magnificent set. From the library of Prince Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, and the subsequent Kings of Hanover. Miller, That Noble Cabinet, p. 125"one of the finest libraries ever created by one man...By the time of the King's death the collection amounted to 65,250 volumes, besides 19,000 unbound tracts." .Book Details

Cards' Wong doesn't shy away from his miscue, gets much support
Dan O'Neill, St. Louis Post-DispatchST. LOUIS -- If you were worried about Kolten Wong, don't be.
He showed up for work Monday, took infield, took batting practice, did his due diligence to be ready for World Series Game 5 at Busch Stadium.
To be sure, Sunday night was not one he will remember fondly. He was picked off first base to bring Game 4 to a stunning end. He might have avoided the embarrassment had he not slipped. But when Boston reliever Koji Uehara put a throw right on the bag, Wong was too far gone to recover.
Keep in mind, Wong was not the tying run on first base in the ninth inning of a one-run game, like Babe Ruth was in the ninth inning Game 7 in 1926. With his Yankees trailing 3-2 to the Cardinals and his slugging teammate Bob Meusel at the plate, Ruth attempted to steal second and was thrown out.
There was no tomorrow for the Yankees that day. The game was over; the World Series was over.
Wong was on first base with the Cardinals trailing 4-2 on Sunday. His run meant nothing unless it was followed promptly by another. What made it especially compelling was the fact Carlos Beltran was at the plate, representing that additional run.
Because Beltran has had big postseason moments in the past, anticipation ran rampant. Beltran has 16 postseason home runs. That's a lot, eighth-most in major league history. The "Sea of Red" was smacking its collective lips, hoping for No. 17.
Reputation is intoxicating in that way and, certainly, we'll never know what Beltran might have done. But this is baseball, where even the most celebrated success is relative.
Coming into the ninth inning Sunday, Beltran had 49 at-bats during this postseason. He had hit home runs in two of them, made outs in 36. Statistically, there was a 4 percent chance he was going to hit a homer, a 73.5 percent chance he was going to make an out.
But this is the World Series, perhaps the most media-blanketed one in history. Things are magnified, and emotions swell proportionately.
A 23-year-old rookie trying to earn his stripes, Wong was devastated by the game-ending miscue. The cracking voice and red eyes afterward were the obvious tell.
Later, when the interviews ceased and the crowds scattered, Wong sent a tweet out on social media, asking for forgiveness. It said, "All i want to say is i'm sorry #CardinalNation I go out everyday playing this game as hard as I can and leaving everything on the field."
Before Monday's game, Wong explained: "I did it because I just felt like it was the right thing to do."
In retrospect, Wong might have demonstrated more substance in the face of adversity than he had shown in any of the previous 38 games he's worn the Birds on the Bat. He did all the right things. He was at his locker after the debacle, despite the emotional trauma. He answered all the questions?. Wong faced the music, explained himself and took full ownership of a baseball play gone wrong.
"I just felt like that's something I'm going to have to go through, so I just did it," Wong said. "It was difficult, for sure, but its' something you have to do."
Sometimes life's darkest moments come just before the dawn. If the Sunday night pickoff was the "toughest thing" Wong ever has experienced in baseball, it also has been one of the most gratifying. From fans to family to teammates, people have risen to the occasion in his support.
"We've got a couple of guys, myself included, that have said some things to him," Matt Carpenter said. "Certainly, the message most importantly being that was not the reason we lost the game. And that's how the game ended, but certainly it was not the reason we lost.
"There were a lot of other factors in play. And just (talking to him about) understanding that's the way baseball goes sometimes. Those things happen; we are human. We make mistakes. Let's not make it more than it is. We've got to regroup and come out ready to go."
Emotionally reinforced, Wong did just that. He showed up for work Monday, bolstered by his mates, ready for another chance.
"I mean, it was tough for sure," Wong said. "But I had so much support, all the guys contacting me and everything. It made it a lot easier coming in here and being ready today.
"Everyone responded and told me, 'It's all right man. We've got two or three more games to go, and anything can happen.'"
Major league orientation has not gone as swimmingly as some might have envisioned for Wong. A No. 1 pick in the 2011 amateur draft, he has been billed as an important piece of the Cardinals' future. To that end, he had a progressive season at Class AAA Memphis, batting .303 with 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He suggested he was ripe for the big-league picking.
When the Cardinals hit an offensive rut in mid-August, they added Wong to the mix ahead of the September roster expansion. They were hoping the diminutive second baseman could give them a spark. But the Hawaiian native struggled to transition, hitting .153 with one extra-base hit in 59 at-bats.
He was used primarily as a pinch-hitter in the waning weeks and had trouble adapting, going 1 for 15. But on Saturday night, he demonstrated the assets that make him an exciting prospect. He entered Game 4 in a double-switch and immediately made an outstanding defensive play to help the Cardinals survive an eighth-inning calamity.
Wong then singled sharply to right field and stole a base in the bottom of the frame. When the Cardinals scored the unconventional winning run in the ninth, Wong became one of the sidebar highlights in a remarkable victory. Twenty-four hours later, he was beating himself up for his base-running blunder.
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was understanding about Wong.
"I saw him later, he was emotional," Matheny said. "You can't forget how young these guys are, too. I don't have any problem with it. I appreciate the fact that he cares that much."
Matheny added: "There's nothing wrong with sitting on it for a while, too, and that's what he was doing (Sunday) night. I think that's healthy. You realize and you go back through your mind and you figure out what happened and what you'd like to have done differently, and then you learn from it and you move on."
"And by the time you get to the park today, you put it in the archives and you move forward. That's where Kolten is today.... He had the veterans talking to him and encouraging him and giving him their own stories of things that they learned from."
They might have even referenced the 1926 World Series and the escapades of that Ruth guy.
Seems he moved on and did some pretty decent things.

Lil Wayne
Raised in the tough neighbourhood of Hollygrove, New Orleans against a backdrop of drugs, gangs and an absent father, straight-A student Lil Wayne dropped out of school at 14 to become the self-professed "best rapper alive". A child protégé who began recording tracks for the Cash Money Records label at 11, he joined rap group Hot Boys in 1997 before releasing debut solo album Tha Block Is Hot (1999). Burning ambition and an incredible workrate saw his reputation grow fast through a constant flow of mix-tapes and he was even credited with coining the slang term "bling, bling". In 2002 Lil Wayne decided he'd no longer write down lyrics and, in one cathartic session, he recorded all his unused written material on the 35-minute track, 10,000 Bars. His new freestyle technique helped convert underground credibility into mainstream acceptance with the albums 50 Degreez (2002), Tha Carter (2004) and Tha Carter II (2006). But it was chart topping album Tha Carter III (2008) that finally made Wayne's prophesy come true, producing the US Number 1 single Lollipop. Inspired by the Beastie Boys, he re-invented himself as a guitar playing rock star on Rebirth (2010).
