A Season in Turin
Man-marking, training without the ball and a car crash: Denis Law on his year in Serie A
The fifties were difficult years for Torino. Having dominated Italian football throughout the previous decade, the granata had lost arguably the country's greatest-ever club side in a devastating air disaster in May 1949.
The Grande Torino had been on the verge of winning their fifth consecutive scudetto when their plane crashed into the hillside at Superga on the outskirts of Turin as they travelled back from an exhibition match in Lisbon. It was a shattering way for an era to end and in the years that followed the club's beleaguered president Ferruccio Novo desperately tried to rebuild a squad capable of contending for honours. It proved an impossible task.
Initially, several talented players joined Torino out of solidarity and in the hope of being part of something special, while various sporting associations loaned the club money to aid the reconstruction process. But it just wasn't possible to recreate the team they had lost. The Grande Torino had been a one-off and no amount of money could have helped the club to reclaim their mantle as the nation's best.
In the years that followed the crash, the granata faithful looked on ruefully as the likes of AC Milan, Internazionale and – most painfully of all – their city rivals Juventus became the dominant forces in Italian football. Meanwhile, Torino bobbed between mid-table and the lower reaches of Serie A for much of the fifties before their deep decline was confirmed. In 1959 – 10 years after the Superga disaster – Torino were relegated.
Perhaps it was the indignity of demotion to Serie B or the realisation that a new approach was required; maybe they were simply too big for the second tier. Whatever the reason, Torino achieved promotion at the first attempt and their young squad, which included two club legends in the making in Enzo Bearzot and Giorgio Ferrini, also managed to retain their place in Serie A in 1960-61.
Yet the new board wanted more. They wanted to challenge Milan, to challenge Inter, to challenge Juventus! To do this they needed to make a splash in the transfer market and, over in Britain, Torino's sporting director Gigi Peronace had seen just the men to thrust his club back into the spotlight.
Peronace, a former goalkeeper from Calabria, had started out in the game by arranging matches between British Army teams and local Italian sides during the latter stages of the Second World War. By 1961, he had become something of a prototype superagent as he negotiated deals taking British players and managers to Italian clubs. His connection to Torino began after he had smoothed the way for Englishman Jesse Carver to become the club's coach in 1953.
Peronace had previously worked with Carver at Juventus, where he had been prominent in the negotiations to bring John Charles from Leeds in 1957. He had been taken onto the Torino pay roll, although he remained open to a bit of freelance business. He was a key figure in the transfers of Jimmy Greaves to Milan and Gerry Hitchens to Inter, but he saved two big names for his employers, as Denis Law and Joe Baker joined Torino ahead of the 1961-62 season.
Baker was just 21, but had already passed the 100-goals mark for Hibernian and was considered one of the most promising young centre-forwards in the British game, while Law's thrilling play at inside-left had inspired Manchester City to break the transfer record when buying him from his first club Huddersfield in 1960. After scoring 21 goals in his first year at Maine Road, Law had come to the attention of Peronace, who believed the Scotsman could make the difference between mid-table obscurity and a top-of-the-table challenge for Torino.
More than 50 years later, I visited Turin to research a book about the manager of the Grande Torino, Ernő Egri Erbstein. I met Corrado Golè, a local artist who had supported Toro since those turbulent post-Superga days, and he spoke enthusiastically about Law, asking me if I might be able to put him in touch with the great man. Law was equally keen to talk about his time in Turin.
When you arrived at Torino in 1961, the club had just achieved promotion from Serie B and were looking to re-establish themselves as one of Italy's top sides after a decade of struggle. How was the move sold to you and Joe Baker?
Well, we didn't really know any of that. It is very different today in terms of what you would know about foreign teams. It was more like, "Torino. Who are they?" and when we got there, we realised that the history of the club was just incredible. You had Juventus and Milan, whom you knew about, but not Torino, so it was a big shock to discover they had this great history. I later joined Manchester United, who of course were recovering from the Munich air crash, but I didn't realise until I arrived in Italy that Torino were involved in a crash as well and they lost all their players. The team they lost had been fantastic. Most of the Italian national team were killed in that crash, but we didn't know anything about that. If it happened today, everybody would know about it. So going to Torino was an experience that I thoroughly enjoyed – not particularly the football side, but the life, the different language, different people and everything that was different. It was an experience to go there.
How did the move come about?
Gigi Peronace was like a scout who was doing a lot of stuff in England at that particular time and he came to City for me. Several years before, John Charles had gone to the other team in Turin and that was the beginning of something because the maximum wage in England back then was £20 a week. Then, all of a sudden [in January 1961] it changed, but the wages still weren't in the category of those being offered by the teams in Italy. It was just an adventure, it was something to do. If I had my time again, I would still have moved there, even though I didn't particularly like the football.
I imagine playing at inside-left in Serie A during the early sixties was a whole lot different from playing the same role in England.
Completely. Two guys were marking me and two guys would be marking Joe when he got the ball at centre-forward, but then two of our guys would be marking each of their strikers as well. So the game was more about who makes the mistakes or who lets you get away from them and I learned a great deal from that. When I came back to England it felt like nobody was marking me at all – it felt like I had so much space. I picked up a lot from having to try and get away from two guys all the time. We were kicked all over the place by some of these guys and when you go to a different country, you don't know who they are. These days you'd know them, but it was different back then and we would look at some of them and think, "Oh dear," particularly when we went to Sicily. You just thought, "Nobody's going to win here; nobody's going to get off the pitch!"
So you noticed the regional differences?
Well, the accents were so different from place to place. It's like if you take someone from Cornwall and someone from the Isle of Skye – they don't understand what the other one is saying half the time. It was the same in Italy. You had a different accent to get used to in Turin, in the north, and in Sicily, which is obviously way, way down south. It was like a different language altogether.
Just how physical were the man-marking specialists in Serie A at that time?
Well, you don't mind them kicking you when the ball's there. It's when they were kicking you while the ball was in the other half. Then you're thinking, "Well, this isn't right!" So you had to learn, there was a different atmosphere on the pitch. But we gave a bit back, don't you worry. Once we got to learn the rules of the game, we gave a bit back. The thing is, if people keep hitting you or kicking you and you don't give anything back, they will keep doing it. That was another thing I learned – look after yourself.
You scored a few goals, though.
Well, I didn't really. I scored some.
You managed 10, which made you Torino's top scorer and was a decent return by Serie A standards of the early sixties, especially as you weren't playing centre-forward.
By their standards, yes. I don't know, but it wasn't too many. I suppose 10 was quite good, but it was an experience. I look back on it and I wish I had enjoyed it a bit more.
Why didn't you enjoy it? Were they more tactically advanced in Italy at that time?
No, it's just that the catenaccio style meant they were so defensive. Nobody wanted to concede a goal and whoever scored first always looked like they would win the game. It didn't always happen that way, but that was the way it felt. So they were more defensive than anything. They were ahead in terms of the training situation, though. They were far ahead of what we were doing in Britain at that time, so I enjoyed that side of things. We used to do all these laps round the pitch in England – well, they didn't do that in Italy. We trained with a ball more or less all the time. Whether you were running or whatever it was, you always had a football, so that was something we tried to bring back with us when we returned.
Presumably, you preferred training with a ball.
Well, I didn't like running – not without a ball. So the fact that you had a ball at least made it interesting. It wasn't like running down the steps in the stand, it was proper training.
How did you cope with this 'proper training' when you first arrived in Turin? It must have been a shock to your system.
Oh, absolutely, yeah. It was a different lifestyle altogether. When we first went over there, we trained in the mountains and we were away for two or three weeks. We had a good laugh, though. Mind you, the first day I went there, I went to go to the toilet and there it was – a hole in the ground! You think, "Oh dear! What do I do?" So that was a big shock. You come to a big Italian club, who are spending fortunes and, I'm not kidding you, the toilet was a hole in the ground.
Was it difficult for you socially when the team went into ritiro for pre-season training or ahead of big games?
Well, it was, because a lot of the guys in that part of Italy didn't speak any English. It wasn't like Rome or Milan in that sense, so we had to try to pick up Italian as good as we could and we could only have conversations with a couple of guys, with Gigi interpreting. He couldn't do that all the time, though, so it was a bit difficult to begin with. But they were football players and they were good guys and I liked them all. I eventually got very friendly with Enzo Bearzot, who was terrific. He spoke quite good English and we became good friends.
Did you pick up the language at all?
Yeah. I don't speak Italian, but I could understand it and I spoke it reasonably well – not grammar-wise. When you are young, you pick things up, though, and the guys would tell me to say things. Obviously, too far down the line, I realised they were teaching me to say things like, "Why don't you fuck off?" and they were telling me to say this to the press! So there were plenty of laughs as well. A few of the guys went on to become big players actually – there was Roberto Rosato, who played for Italy for quite a while. He was only a young boy at that time, but he was a good player. Then there was Giorgio Ferrini, who played for Torino for a long, long time. The club were just coming back into Serie A, still recovering from the plane crash, and it was a lot of young guys who really didn't have a lot of experience, but we were all young together.
What was it like to play in the Stadio Filadelfia, which Torino fans wax lyrical about to this day, despite the fact that it has been nothing more than a ruin for many years now?
Well, at that time, I think Torino were one of the only teams in Italy to have their own ground. Most of the others were owned by the city or whatever. The Filadelfia was Torino's own ground and the atmosphere was fantastic. Wherever we went in Italy, it was like that, though. Football was like a religion really.
Some people at the club when you were there in 1961-62 would have worked with the Grande Torino. Did you feel that the Superga disaster was still relevant?
Oh, without a doubt. The longer we stayed there, the more we knew about the crash and the team that had died and, of course, we went to the site of the crash at Superga, which is just outside of Turin. Oh no, it was huge. It was huge. It was huge all the time we were there. The conversation was all about the crash. If we'd had the internet, like today, we'd have gone straight on there and known everything about Torino before we went. Turin was unlike the other cities in Italy, with all the industry and Fiat and the shroud as well. There was all sorts to learn about it, a big history, but don't forget that we were only young men and we didn't know a great deal. I was learning as I went and it was really quite interesting. I was quite good at geography, but I thought of Italy as this nice, warm place – I had no idea Turin was just at the bottom of the Alps and was really quite cold at times. I wasn't expecting snow in Italy, I was expecting sunshine. So I learned a lot and of course we went to Rome and we went to Venice and saw all these wonderful places.
You mentioned that training was different, but I imagine the Italian diet was a bit of an eye-opener for you as well.
The food was excellent. Ah, yeah. When I came back to Manchester, Italian food wasn't a standard thing at that time, but after we came back there were a lot more Italian places opening up suddenly. So we brought that back with us as well. People were like, "Spaghetti? What's this?" The guys back in England liked a pint of lager, but they were into their wine and we got to like our wine as well. That was new for us because the guys back home only drank beer. So, yeah, we brought a wee bit of class back with us.
Did you and Joe have much contact with the other British players who were out there at the time? As well as John Charles at Juventus, there was Gerry Hitchens at Inter and Jimmy Greaves at Milan, while Jesse Carver was coaching Lazio that season too.
We did, yes. John spoke Italian by then, of course, and he was living in Turin as well, so he became a close friend to us – a father figure almost. That was great because, don't forget, the two teams were big rivals. The Torino-Juventus thing was enormous. When we beat them, the fans were going down the street with a coffin in Juventus colours and everything. I thought it was fantastic, a different world.
Joe missed a run of matches towards the end of the season following a terrible car crash, in which you were a passenger. Do you remember what happened?
Joe had just picked up a brand new car, but up until then I had been doing all the driving in a little Fiat 600. Then Joe picked up an Alfa Romeo and, because he hadn't been driving while we were out there, he came to a roundabout and he started to go around it the English way. I said to him, "Joe, you're going the wrong way!" but as he turned the steering wheel he clipped the curb on the roundabout, which was about a foot high, and I can't remember what happened after that. Apparently the car went over a few times – and don't forget we had no safety belts in those days. Joe was thrown out of the car, I was thrown into Joe's seat and my brother – also called Joe – was in the back. When I saw the car afterwards, I looked at where I had been sitting originally and the roof was completely flattened to the dashboard, so if there had been safety belts, I'd have been dead. I'd have been killed.
I didn't have any injuries really, just a couple of stitches in my hand. My brother in the back didn't have any injuries either, but Joe had landed on the road, smashed his face and broken his jaw. He was in a coma for a few days, but he made a marvellous recovery. He was fortunate, really, that his legs were not damaged in any way because he was able to carry on his career – and very successfully as well.
Did the shock of that crash make you feel that it was time to go home to Britain?
Yes it did. Absolutely. Don't forget, we had very little communication with home back then because we didn't have television or internet and we only had the phones in our room to contact home. Nowadays, it is nothing to go anywhere in the world and hop on a plane home whenever you want to, but it was different then and that moment brought back a few things – you miss your friends, you miss your family.
What were the circumstances of your departure from Torino? Is it true that the club wanted to sell you to Juventus but you flew home to prevent the move from going ahead?
Yeah! [Laughs] There was no way I was going anyway! I just got on a plane and flew home to Aberdeen. I left all my stuff behind. I just said, "I'm not going". What can you do? I had no interest in staying in Italy. I'd had enough – but only because of the football. I wanted to go back and enjoy my football at home but it was in the newspapers that I was going to Juventus and as soon as I saw that, I'm on my bike. I probably did it in a way that, looking back, I shouldn't have done, but I just got in a taxi, got on a plane and flew home. I didn't tell anybody, and I left some great friends there as well. I went back when Torino had their centenary a few years ago and it was nice to see some of the guys because I was pals with a lot of them. I enjoyed everything else about living out there and I learned a lot, but the football just was not for me.

Craig had a bit of an accident while working in the attic yesterday. His foot slipped off of a ceiling joist and he ended up knocking a big hole in the laundry room ceiling… leaving the laundry room floor covered with insulation and pieces of plaster.
Now, I had mentioned before that we plan to repair the ceilings in the laundry room, but we didn't plan to do this until after moving the HVAC unit into the attic. I guess we'll be doing it a bit sooner than we thought.
On the bright side… with the exception of his pride, Craig was unharmed by the incident!

Last February, in collaboration with Woblyware, Ravenous
Games ported over what came to be known as one of the best action platformers
on the App Store. This game is a perfect blend of speed-running, wall-jumping, head-smashing, and death. This game is League of Evil. Now, a year after the original's iOS debut, Agent is back and more badass than ever. League of Evil 2 is the sequel to die for, and I can't stop playing it.
Games ported over what came to be known as one of the best action platformers
on the App Store. This game is a perfect blend of speed-running, wall-jumping, head-smashing, and death. This game is League of Evil. Now, a year after the original's iOS debut, Agent is back and more badass than ever. League of Evil 2 is the sequel to die for, and I can't stop playing it.
Gameplay 5/5
If you have never played League of Evil before, here is the low down. League of Evil is probably the king of iOS platformer gameplay. Super-tight controls allow you to pull off the sickest acrobatic moves that you have ever seen. Double-jump your way across spike pits, dodge bullets, slide down walls, run though laser beams, and most important of all…punch some evil scientists in the head! League of Evil 2 combines all of these things so well that it is just too hard to find any faults in terms of gameplay. Boss Battles also make an appearance in League of Evil 2 making the gameplay more action packed than ever.
Controls 5/5
I have always said that controls are the most important aspect of any platformer. Fortunately, League of Evil has award winning controls to go along with its awesome gameplay. You shouldn't have any reason to blame League of Evil's controls for the countless deaths that you are sure to experience. Touch controls on iOS have come a long way since the advent of the App Store, and at the moment I am comfortable saying that the touch controls of League of Evil work better than the computer controls. The controls are simple enough; you have left and right arrows from running along with jump and attack buttons. This control scheme proved itself in the first League of Evil, and it works just as well, if not better, in the sequel.
Content 5/5
Over 100 levels across 5 different worlds. 100 is a big number, and even though the first batch of levels won't take you long to complete it only gets harder from there. You have multiple goals in each level: kill the scientist, beat the goal time, and collect the briefcase. It isn't too difficult to do just one task at a time, but to get a "perfect run" you need to accomplish all of the tasks in the same run. These challenges will cause much hair loss, but they definitely keep you coming back for more. As you progress through each of the 5 environments, you unlock a matching costume. The new outfits for Agent not only switch up the game's style but also allow you to customize to your liking. Also, the addition of boss battles switches up the game play a bit, forcing you to focus on the action rather than the platforming.
Graphics 5/5
I don't even know what to say about the graphics. The move from pixel art to 'super-crisp 2D glory' might have lost Ravenous Games a few fans, but I'm sure it gained them a hell of a lot more. I am a huge pixel art fan, but I am in love with the new League of Evil art. Definitely a big standing ovation to BulletProof Outlaws for taking the time to perfect the artwork.
Overall 5/5
Surprise surprise, our very own Game of the Year from 2011 returns in HD form and it has me hooked once again. I must say that League of Evil 2 has everything you could ask for from an iOS platformer, and it is difficult to find any faults. If there is anything to wish for, I can only ask for more levels, more costumes, and maybe control customization (for the picky ones). Oh yeah, and did I mention that there are 2 difficulty settings available? Yes, it just gets better and better. Do yourself a favor and pick up League of Evil 2 while it is still on sale for $0.99. It'll go up to $2.99 soon.
***Some people have run into issues with game saves. I haven't had any yet on iPhone 4 Let's hope Derek gets on it!***

Private Yoga Therapy
Private Yoga Therapy and Life Coaching Services with Yoga Refuge founder, Kate Holly (ERYT-500, MFA)
Many people come to yoga seeking major changes to their lives. Whether you are looking to rehabilitate a specific injury or physical limitation, to feel more connected to your dharma (your life's purpose), to awaken your spiritual connection, to know yourself better, to feel more alive and confidant, or to change a specific habit, yoga has tools to support you. Some people come to yoga not quite sure what it is they want from it, but knowing that it is supposed to be "good for them".
I started merging my private yoga therapy work with coaching in 2016, when I realized that many of my clients had deeper mindset issues, lifestyle challenges and limiting beliefs that were keeping them from realizing their goals with yoga. I now offer my clients a choice: We can work just with the tools of yoga, we can work just with the tools of coaching, or we can combine them.
I create individualized, custom support for each of my clients, drawing from the many tools of my training. Clients leave with a recording of sessions, as well as a yoga sequence they can practice at home, and some other take-home assignments to support their goals.
If you work with me, you can expect to be supported in the following ways:
- Repair and nurture your relationship to your body, so that any changes you seek (weight loss, pain relief, improved alignment, etc.) come from a place of deep self-love and self-acceptance, rather than perfectionism and sacrifice.
- Clarify your dreams for your life and your wellness, and the small goals you can focus on now to achieve them.
- Understand how to experience the vast benefits of yoga even if you have physical or psychological reasons that keep group classes from being a good fit for you.
- Learn how to build self-care into your busy life as a regular, non-negotiable daily routine.
- Bring insight and intuition to your limiting beliefs about yourself, your health, your body or your happiness in order to move beyond your conditioning into living a life you truly want.
- Benefit from the accountability of working regularly with someone who hears you, sees you and believes in you.
- Find union between your mental/emotional/psychological needs and your physical needs: no more compartmentalizing your healing process.
About me:
I have been teaching yoga since 2003, and founded Yoga Refuge in 2014. I completed my 200-hr teacher training at the Movement Center, my 300-hr teacher training in yoga therapy with Sarahjoy Marsh at the DAYA Foundation, and I hold an MFA in Contemporary Performance from the Buddhist-inspired Naropa University. I am also a certified 200-hr AYL Master Life Coach. My work draws on the tools of all of these trainings and disciplines, with the primary intention of helping people to know and love themselves, in order that they may experience life as the rich and meaningful gift that it is. I am also the mother of two young boys so please note: I understand that the struggle is real 🙂

To start, my name is Cierra. I'm quite proud to be a registered tribal citizen of the Cherokee Nation (hints the name of my blog). Regardless of the fact that I'm not quite close to 100% , I'm still proud of my ancestry roots and they have shaped the free spirit that I am today. Catch me out and you will most likely see me wearing some sort of native inspired accessory, my obsession with turquoise is SO REAL.
I'm 28 years young, currently living in New Jersey with my awesome ( sometimes annoying) Husband & our super adorable son, Brodi AKA, my little bee. We are just shy of 30 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Still have not been converted to an Eagles fan. I cannot forget my all time favorite city, Pittsburgh, PA (closest city to my good ol' hometown of Eastliverpool, Ohio). You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl, is 100% accurate in terms of my life. Apparently my accent is so strong , that throughout the years everyone questions if I grew up down south. I guess it's just the West Virginia in me?
(yes , I was born in WV, and no it's not as bad as it may seem).
I took a break from writing to focus on relocating and discovering motherhood. Throughout my pregnancy journey and now the journey of raising my son, I still was an unlicensed therapist for my friends who needed advice 😉 I write about life, careers, family. Essentially anything and everything. I write articles in hopes that my readers can relate to them. I talk about modern day millennial relationships as if I'm some sort of expert and hope at least one or two of my readers or listeners will take the advice I have at times often ignored myself.
I'm still stumbling around trying to learn & discover who I'm meant to be and where I'm meant to end up. BUT, the good news is , I have realized the one whom I am certain was made for me and the life we have created with our tiny human has been lifes greatest adventure. Motherhood thus far has been a wild ride and I still do not have this s*it figured out. Excuse my language, but it's the honest truth. Life can be hard. Adulting can be hard. I'm no negative Nancy, I'm a realist. I'm honest. Life isn't always hard, but it sure is not always easy , but that is what makes life beautiful.
I hope sharing my articles hit home for my readers, and I hope to inspire others to do what makes their heart more full. As writing is a passion that I will continue to somehow make time for while juggling motherhood, working full time , and finishing my masters (unofficially).
Thanks for reading,
I love you all

Updating camera raw
Would be a VERY welcome improvement to the camera interface where two exposures give you that much more punch...
of course if Adobe want's to go REALLY crazy, they could give you a 2 or 3 or even 5 shot options and give you a full HDR interface. Still my number 1 complaint that LR does not allow me to customize my workspace like EVERY FREAKING PIECE OF SOFTWARE IN CC!!! Scrolling through the panel is an obstacle to access, and so is solo mode.
I just bought a Fuji X-T1 and I quickly realised how badly Lightroom can handle the files.
There are also nearly no camera profiles at all for Fuji.
Be sure to let us know what you think of them in the comments! in Applied Mathematics and is currently pursuing a doctorate in Music Compositon. Instead it pops up a "Save As..." dialog and then requires sycnchronizing the folder to get the PSD (or TIFF) image to appear back in the Lightroom Catalog.
Alex Cooke is a Cleveland-based portrait, events, and landscape photographer. Adobe, to their credit, were quick to respond and were able to replicate the issue and hopefully a fix will be out soon.
Camera Raw 5.2 includes the final version of the DNG profiles, so if you had installed the prerelease (beta) profiles you may want to remove them before installing the final profiles.After hearing so much about the great image quality, improved dynamic range, and high ISO noise performance, I borrowed a Sony Alpha a7R II Mirrorless Digital Camera and the T Smart Adapter Mark IV for Canon EF or Canon EF-S Mount Lens to Sony E-Mount cameras.With the Metabones adapter, I can use all of my Canon lenses with functioning AF and no vignetting, even on the wide angles. Here is the problem: when I try to convert a Sony ARW file–perhaps they misspelled RAW :), Photoshop opens and the dialogue box says When I followed the link in the dialogue box I wound up in no-mans-land.But perhaps most exciting is the addition of the same capture interface that the Android version of the app has to the i OS version.This interface allows the user access to a "professional" mode, which is essentially a full manual mode.
I keep seeing similar comments about how C1 seems to be so much harder to figure out than Lightroom. I used LR before C1 and the degree of difficulty using both is the same.

Strange things happen sometimes when I find my interior worlds colliding. When the part of me that ponders and wonders and creates has more than one mental burner fired up, sometimes things from one boiling pot get mixed in with things from another unintentionally (or at least not in my plan) and it's crazy.
It is kind of like the chocolate bar meets peanut butter television commercials when Reese Cups were introduced to the market.
One of those collisions has me asking whether we've experienced/become a generation that has too easily and even too enthusiastically outsourced the telling of our own story.
This is all new in my brain and my own thoughts on it are yet quite unclear — but I think a symptom of this is our tendency to talk more about the movies and television we have watched and the computer generated games we have played than our living. (And don't get all defensive on me — I love great movies and television and would probably enjoy the games if I let myself go there. That's not the point.)
Anyhow. Wondering where this is going and why it is so loud inside my head lately.

Biogeochemistry Research Group
The overarching aim of the biogeochemistry research group I lead is to understand and help solve complex environmental issues across multi-disciplinary boundaries (soil, water, ecology, human impacts). Research carried out by the group has increased understanding of processes affecting the generation and fate of chemical species and contaminants (e.g. metals, nutrients and organic matter), and how to manage systems to prevent undesirable impacts. Much of our current research is directed to understanding the effects of climate change arising from increasing droughts, reduced river flows, and sea level rise. We are also focussed on developing novel measurement techniques and geochemical models to assist in this area. The group's research is conducted and linked at various scales; from molecular-level studies in the laboratory, to field-scale experiments, and national-global scale assessments.
Our group has strong collaborations with scientists and agencies in Australia and internationally. We have a proven and extensive track record in delivering complex research advice and outputs to government agencies to assist them to manage environmental issues. Importantly these projects also provide students the opportunity to research and solve "real world" issues, and gain valuable contacts and skills to enhance their future employment prospects. The group is located at the Waite Campus in Adelaide, a stimulating and highly collaborative environment. We make a significant contribution to the University of Adelaide achieving a 2015 Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) Rating of 5 ("well above world standard") in our key areas of geochemistry, soil science, and environmental science and management.
I am Deputy Director of the Acid Sulfate Soils Centre and President of Soil Science Australia (www.soilscienceaustralia.org.au), the peak body representing soil professionals in Australia.

Machine Head gehen ab Oktober wieder auf Tour:
"Building on MACHINE HEAD's wildly popular "An Evening With…" format, these not-to-be-missed shows will be a three-hour musical extravaganza, comprised of two parts: Part one will feature a battery of MACHINE HEAD's modern classics, such as "Imperium", "Halo" and "The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears", featuring frontman/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Jared MacEachern performing alongside two, soon-to-be-announced ragers on guitar and drums. Part two will feature the Bay Area band's classic debut album, "Burn My Eyes" played in its entirety for the first time ever. And if somehow this historical event could not be monumental enough, taking the stage for this part of the set will be "Burn My Eyes"-era alumni and MACHINE HEAD's original drummer Chris Kontos and original guitarist Logan Mader."

What is the worst civilian crime that was committed in Paris?
Want to know how safe a loved one is in Paris right now.
2 Answers
Well I'm sure there are plenty of truly awful crimes in Paris just as there are in most cities of the world. However, Paris on the whole is pretty safe - I'd say pickpocketing and petty theft is a substantial problem, particularly for tourists and visitors, but that is mere nuisance compared to what you imply. over 9 years agoAnswered by Original Nomad via Ask a Nomad iPad app
By international standards Paris has a low crime rate.
In 2010, Paris had a crime rate of 11.8%, however 75% were non violent theft.
Paris doesn't make it onto the list of the world's ten most dangerous cities, but Detroit and New Orleans do (along with Ciudad Juarez, Caracas, Karachi and a few others.... oh Baghdad was another).
I'd be more worried about their cholesterol level from the beautiful food rather than crime.

Russia may be more forceful in Syria – analyst
Russia has so far severely limited its actions in Syria, but this situation is not likely to be sustainable, Joost Hiltermann wrote for The Interpreter, an outlet linked to Australia's Lowy Institute foreign policy think-tank.
"Moscow is in the driver's seat in Syria but reluctant to put the car in gear. It sees a U.S. retreat on the world stage but is either averse to or incapable of assuming the mantle of ultimate arbiter," Hiltermann said.
"Yet Russia may have no choice but to step in more forcefully, at least if it wishes to preserve its gains: the survival of the Assad regime and the prospect of a pacified Syria stabilised by reconstruction funds provided by Western nations that may have to settle for such an outcome, lest conflict endure and refugees continue to stream toward Europe."
The danger of Russia choosing not to escalate is that the possibility that other foreign powers will be emboldened, leading to an escalation of the scale of proxy war, he said.
"As long as Moscow eschews a more proactive approach, each side will resort to military means to clarify what its adversary is willing to bear, and thus establish the rules of the game. But a risky game this is, involving precision weapons and stealth technology, split-second decisions, and the human propensity for errors of interpretation and judgment."

This group video calling feature follows native camera experience introduced just last week in the messaging app. One-to-one video calls on Facebook Messenger were added in April this year and now Group Video Calls are being introduced in Facebook Messenger. The newly added feature of group video calling allows up to 50 persons to join in and choose to just listen in or via voice. All of them can be on camera as well but only 6 people's video feed will be shown on the messenger. Those six people will be chosen by the messenger itself based on their dominance as speaker – means the most you participate in discussion, more the chances you get to be on screen, after once the people in your group chat exceeds the number six. How to get started? While the feature has been rolled out to Messenger website but if you are on the phone, first you need the latest version of Messenger. You can now create a new group conversation or jump into an existing one. Then tap on the video icon on the upper right of the screen to enter the video chat. Everyone in the group will be notified about your participation. Additionally you can also directly ring just a few people or the whole group. According to Facebook, 245 million people have been making video calls each month and the new feature of Group Video Chat is now being rolled out to iOS based devices – Android to follow. More and more people use messaging in groups for lots of different reasons like keeping everyone up to date, planning a family vacation or to share a few jokes. With 245 million people making video calls in Messenger every month, now we're bringing everyone on Messenger the ability to turn group chats into face-to-face conversations no matter where you are Source Facebook

Coaching in the NFL is hazardous to your health. Long hours, high stress, enormous pressure, minimal job security, players with bigger egos and fatter paychecks than yours — it's no wonder the job turnover is so high. Most are taking over where a change in culture is needed and expected. It's not easy to walk into a locker room, start singing a new song and expect everyone to join in immediately. It may take a while to strike the right notes, find common ground and establish open lines of communication. And it can take even longer to convince the team to buy in.
Winning makes the road a lot smoother, though. The league's new crop of head coaches (both first-time and recycled coaches) is 5-2 after the first weekend. In the Bay Area, the deep South and western New York, you can already recognize the metamorphosis.
Who IS Jim Tomsula? It was a popular refrain during the offseason. The coach promoted from within the 49ers' ranks to replace alpha male Jim Harbaugh certainly wasn't a household name. But the front office was comfortable with the former defensive line coach, maybe because he's the opposite of his predecessor. Tomsula is described as genuine, caring and likable. The guys in the locker room call him a "player's coach" who covers all the bases in preparation. He's not out to make waves or attract attention.
And Tomsula is old-school on the field: his game plan revolves around a tough, physical defense and a strong ground game. Both were featured in a victory over the Vikings Monday night. The Niners pressured Teddy Bridgewater, sacking him five times, and clogged up the middle to neutralize Adrian Peterson. The offensive line set the perfect zone blocks to spring their own top running back, Carlos Hyde, over and over again. Sure, the game was ugly in stretches, but a former D-line coach doesn't mind winning that way. Just maybe, a touch of Tomsula is exactly what the Bay Area needs.
Rookie head coach Dan Quinn was a candidate for multiple job openings before he settled on the Falcons. Like Tomsula, Quinn comes from the defensive side of the ball; but his style was no mystery after two seasons running a Seattle D showcased in back-to-back Super Bowls. His defenses are aggressive, always gunning for big plays and turnovers. Atlanta's young, inexperienced personnel will compensate for any lack of talent with intensity and effort. Just like their new boss, they're learning on the job.
What Dan Quinn may lack in first-hand knowledge, he makes up for with passion and enthusiasm, both of which are contagious in the locker room. The first half against Philadelphia Monday night couldn't have gone much better: short Eagles possessions with multiple licks on Sam Bradford, along with the season's first takeaway, helped the Falcons build a double-digit lead. While the second half wasn't as easy, the team sealed the win with a dramatic interception. Quinn also preaches how they have to finish; and once they did, he smiled broadly and said they "let it rip." Buckle up, Atlanta. You could be in for a wild ride.
Out in Buffalo, Rex Ryan already has the massive Bills' fanbase eating out of his hand. His charisma, sarcastic one-liners, and outrageous antics make him the star attraction wherever he goes. He's bold and brash, and he runs interference for his locker room by creating the headlines himself. Ryan doesn't run a tight ship, giving his players freedom to be who they are. He's also fiercely loyal, and puts his whole heart and soul into the job. Rex turns into a cheerleader on the sidelines, jumping around like a kid to celebrate the big moments.
We saw plenty of that giddiness against the Colts on Sunday, thanks to a suffocating defense that collected three turnovers, an effective ground game, and some explosive playmakers that include an unproven quarterback. Leave it to Rex to hand Tyrod Taylor his first ever NFL start… at wide receiver… BEFORE he took over under center. Buffalo had many of the pieces already in place, but the team needed a leader and an identity. While Rex's act may rub media and opposing fans the wrong way, his players love him. They would run through a wall for him. They believe he can lead them to the promised land, and they're fueled by that faith on the field. A Rex Ryan team will never give up or quit, no matter the circumstances. And if he can guide the Bills to their first playoff win in two decades, the city of Buffalo may build a statue of him outside the stadium and elect him mayor.
Of course, we're only one week into the new season, but wins are the best way to get everyone belting out a new tune.

I believe the latest patch for ArcGIS Pro 2.1 has disrupted the functionality of the Legend properties. I can no longer remove a layer from the legend, and the Element Properties pane does not update to show which legend item I have selected. I am only able to make changes to all of the items in the legend at once - or not able to make changes to the items at all.
Has anyone else noticed this problem, or is it something unique to my set up?
