Connor McDavid harming Oilers chances of winning with massive new contract, critics say
NHL insider: "The McDavid team needs to think one more time before coming to terms."
This in from various writers, the notion that the Edmonton Oilers certainly and Connor McDavid possibly would be better off if McDavid took a lesser cap hit than the reported $13.25 million per year for eight years he's reportedly signing for.
Let's start with long-time NHL writer Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun: "Connor McDavid will sign a contract soon that will pay more than $100 million, which will make him the highest paid player in hockey history.But when he's finished, and he's set for his life and on his own island, what will matter more? The money or the number of Stanley Cup rings he has won.
"McDavid might be smart to take less than $13 million a year in order to enable the Oilers to build strength at a time when there is no assurance the NHL salary cap will be increasing significantly in the coming years. Being set for life is wonderful: But can you place a price on winning, or in this case, not winning. It's something the McDavid team needs to think one more time before coming to terms for the best years of McDavid's career."
Next we have San Jose Mercury News hockey columnist and podcaster Paul Gackle, who notes he's reluctant to criticize the best player in hockey for trying to maximize his salary, especially in a sport that Gackle sees as having little loyalty to players as it's owned by faceless corporations only concerned about the profit margin.
But Gackle does see a major downside for the Oilers in McDavid's new deal. "Here's the good news if you're the Edmonton Oilers: you've locked the new face of the game in for eight seasons. Obviously when a talent like McDavid lands in Edmonton, you wonder if he's going to bolt ship the first opportunity he gets. Eight years in Edmonton, that's a positive development. The bad news it's going to come at a cost of $13.25 million per year, which could hamper the Oilers ability to re-sign Leon Draisaitl, who is also needs a contract extension this summer, and their ability to surround McDavid with other caliber players in the future.
"How will the Oilers be anything other than a top heavy team when they're committing more than $13 million a year to a single player," Gackle continued. "Does McDavid not get this? Is he putting his individual interests over what's best for the team? And now all of a sudden Connor McDavid is becoming the face of greed in the National Hockey League. I was surprised by this decision because we have a culture in this league where superstars tend to take less money to try to help their teams. Steven Stamkos could have bled the free agent market dry last summer. He could have easily hauled in more than $10 million per year. He settled for $8.5 because he knows the Lightning wouldn't be able to hold onto all that young talent surrounding him if they had given them kind of money. So Stamkos sacrificed a $1.5 or $2 million (per) for a chance to help his team win. Admirable, no doubt about it."
Finally we have the number-crunching CP Ching of Real Sport blog, who writes "After doing some research on the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Chicago Blackhawks, I found an interesting stat that suggests McDavid's new cap hit can potentially jeopardize the Oiler's hope of winning a Stanley Cup for the next five years."
Ching looks at what percentage of the cap that McDavid and Draisaitl (if he were to sign at $9 million per) will take up of the cap. He points out that from 2009 to 2015 when Evgeni Malkin and Crosby's percentage of the Pittsburgh cap started at a high of 30.6 per cent of the cap and dropped to 26.4 per cent, the Penguins did not win the Stanley Cup. In the last two years when their percentage has been 25.5 per cent of the cap, the Penguins have won.
In regards to Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews of Chicago, he notes: "in all three championship years (2010, 2013, 2015), Kane and Toews' cumulative cap hit, never exceeded 19% of their team's total salary!"
Ching projects McDavid and Draisaitl's contracts to take up more than 25 per cent of the cap for the first five years of their deals.
My take
- The Edmonton Oilers are lucky if, as reported, they can lock up Connor McDavid through the prime of his NHL career. He comes at a high price, reportedly $13.25 million per, but as a percentage of the cap it's comparable to what Sidney Crosby got on his second contract, only McDavid is signing for three additional years, and in those three years if the cap continues to rise that will give Edmonton some advantage at that time. In this way, McDavid's second contract is more of a discount than Crosby's second contract.
- As an Oilers fan of course I would have greatly preferred McDavid to sign up for eight years at $12 million per. I want every single player that the Oilers sign to take a discount, as that will help the team win. At the same time, I'm OK when players get a fair contract based on their rank in the NHL. McDavid projects as the NHL's best player for next five or six years at least. If he had gone the free agency route, he would have had numerous teams make the maximum bid for him in an offer sheet and he'd be making more than $15 million next year and for years to come. In this way, the Oilers got a significant discount, though maybe not the massive discount that some fans would have hoped McDavid would take.
- All that said, Simmons, Gackle and Ching are all correct to point out that there are repercussions for a team's ability to win when one or two players take up so much cap space. If McDavid took less money, the Oilers would indeed have a greater chance of winning. That's a fair critique of the contract, and if the Oilers don't win Stanley Cups during McDavid's contract, I'm sure we'll hear this kind of critique again.
- I agree with Simmons that money isn't everything. The joys of accomplishment should be accorded a great amount of weight in any individual's deliberations. In McDavid's case, he's in a team sport, and no matter how much he accomplishes as an individual, the ultimate in a team sport is to win as a team. In the end, McDavid has sacrificed some amount of salary, so he's evidently some weight on the good of the team.
- I'd also note that Simmons is a Toronto writer and I wonder if he's already projecting what kind of impact the McDavid contract will have on the Leafs as they try to sign Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. If McDavid took somewhat less, that might impact Matthews, as there are so few comparable players to McDavid and Matthews.

Café Spice Namaste
OBE-Awarded and one half of BBC TV duo The Incredible Spice Men , Cyrus Todiwala is credited with popularising Goan dishes in London. His city-fringe restaurant Café Spice Namaste has an eclectic mix of clientele, ranging from suited and booted city folk, doe-eyed couples, families, hen dos, tourists, and everything in between. It seems anyone and everyone is in love with Todiwala's Persian-inspired Parsi cooking.
The restaurant is a world away from the curry houses in nearby Brick Lane. Housed in a former Victorian magistrates' court, its impressive double-height white walls are peppered with coloured swathes the hues of Indian spice – think turmeric, saffron and sumac. We dine midweek and the restaurant is full, with the charismatic Pervin Todiwala spending time charming and chatting with every single table. We quiz Pervin on stand out dishes and naturally she replies "everything is great!" She insists we try an Indian Shiraz from the Nasik Valley. We agree a little apprehensively… Indian wine? Surely not. We take one sip and instantly know we stand corrected. It is sublime. This rounded wine is earthy and smoky with hints of espresso and chocolate. We sip eagerly and tuck into mixed poppadums served with Cyrus-made pickles and dips. The mixed vegetable pickle pleases me greatly, whilst my colleague prefers the minty yoghurt raita, thicker than usual, with shreds of fresh cucumber.
After we've wiped the dips bowls clean, our starters arrive. The first dish: a beautifully crispy puffed pastry case filled with crushed potato and spiced yoghurt. It is finished with a tamarind and date chutney which adds a zesty tangy aftertaste. Next up is a crispy dosa pancake served with tiny dices of lamb in a well spiced masala sauce and served with a Saambaar (a spiced vegetable and lentil soup) and fresh coconut chutney.
Already feeling suitably stuffed we are completely overwhelmed by the procession of main course dishes that make their way to our table. We are presented with a fragrant Goan coconut curry containing the juiciest and most succulent king prawns served with the traditional accompaniment of red rice. The next dish is a lamb shank bhuna with meat so tender it literally falls off the bone and into a rich aromatic sauce. A side of spiced saffron rice makes the perfect receptacle to soak up the delicious sauce. We then tuck into Punjabi bharta filled with deliciously meaty smoked aubergine chunks that are nestled in a sauce of onions, tomato, garlic and green chilli. The final flourish comes in the form of mustard, honey and saffron naans.
With waistlines fit to bursting we know we shouldn't opt for desserts, but the eyes are always bigger than the stomach, and everything on the menu sounds heavenly. We opt for a saffron, cardamom and ginger crème brulee. The texture of the dessert is recognisable, but the spices elevate the custard and give it a freshness.

As an irregular feature on our Facebook page, we've run throwbacks to earlier meetings of upcoming match-ups. Say Manchester United are facing Juventus on the day, we'll dig up memorable, odd or interesting matches between the teams. ['member Keano?]
We're moving the series over to the website and are extending it to a handful of upcoming match-ups on the day or the weekend. First up it's Arsenal vs Palace, Liverpool vs Man City and the Old Firm.
Arsenal 1:2 Crystal Palace, Oct. 1st 1994
Palace are without a league win against Arsenal for more than two decades now. In other words, they never tasted triumph over Arsene Wenger. Their last win came on October 1st 1994, Palace's side captained by Gareth Southgate. George Graham was still at the helm for the Gunners, presiding over the oldest defence in the world. Tony Adams, at least, always looked to me ten years older than he actually was. Here he's just 28, Andy Linighan next to him is 32, but they're made to look 40+ by Chris Armstrong.
Armstrong teed up two easy tap-ins for John Salako, one with the help of the post. Ian Wright managed to pull one back twenty minutes before the end, making it a century of goals for Arsenal. But it proved to be to little on the day. Coming on the eigth matchday it was Palace's first win of the season. To be fair it was also Arsenal's fourth loss, league leaders Newcastle were already 14 points ahead. Arsenal finished the 94/95 season in 12th place, Palace were relegated in 19th. But hey, they'll always have Salako's brace at Highbury.
Liverpool 6:0 Manchester City, Oct. 28th 1995
Within four days at the end of October 1995, Liverpool hosted Manchester City twice: first in the League Cup then in the Premier League. The combined scoreline: 10:0. John Scales, Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush and Steve Harkness had sent the Citizens packing with a 4:0 drubbing on Wednesday. Come Saturday, straight back onto the horse City climbed; only to be thrown off again. Liverpool picked up where they had left off, establishing a 2:0 lead within five minutes.
That 2:0 held until half-time, but whatever City's manager Alan Ball told his side at the interval, his side fell apart once the game re-started. Liverpool's play, on the day, was easy on the eye, but all too easily cutting through City's defence. Rush and Fowler each helped themselves to a brace, Jamie Redknapp and Neil Ruddock chipped in as well, putting six in total past Eike Immel at the hour mark. City's stats made for awful reading after 11 matches: two points, 3:21 goals; needless to say it left them bottom of the table. Even though their form improved in the second half of the season, City were eventually relegated on goal difference.
Rangers 4:0 Celtic, April 14th 1928
Wikipedia knows of 403 Old Firm matches. Surely that means Rangers vs Celtic predates football in Scotland and even football itself. A bit of rummaging for the oldest known footage of the match-up produced a British Pathé clip of the Scottish Cup final 1928. Celtic won their admission to the final by beating Queen's Park FC 2:1, Rangers trounced Hibernian 3:0. 118.000 were supposedly in attendance for the final at Hampden Park. Judging by the sea of people in the video, it can't be far off.
1927/28 proved to be Rangers' season: Not only did they win the Cup by beating Celtic 4:0 on the day; Sandy Archibald (2x), David Meiklejohn (P) and Bob McPhail provided the goals. They also won the league, finishing five points ahead of, naturally, Celtic.

well kinny riddle, a few things I'll comment on
if you read the box of your figures they are stamped made in china, and its not because it was imported from japan.
alot of companies like bandai have factories in china that actually assemble the figures and toys. only the design and license is actually done in japan.
that is one reason when u purchase those type of things they are cheaper in china then the rest of the world.
all of the doujin stuff is straight from japan pretty guaranteed though, since most of the small doujin guys print locally in small numbers.
and officially licensed DVDs are on par with bootlegs in southeast asia? no...
you are correct though, very few PVC figures are knock offs. most are real merchandise. but this does NOT apply to resin kits. 95% of resin kits sold outside of japan are re-casts.
and if ur gona ask me when the last time i was in china, i was in taiwan about 8 years ago
however, my figure collection is quite huge and I do browse some of the chinese sellers for out of print stuff on a regular basis.

Man Utd Target Griezmann Asks To Leave Atletico Antoine Griezmann has told Atletico Madrid officials that he wants to leave the club ...
Man Utd Target Griezmann Asks To Leave Atletico
Antoine Griezmann has told Atletico Madrid officials that he wants to leave the club this summer, according to reports.
That is according to Spanish journalist Antonio Ruiz, who is said to be well connected in Madrid.
Manchester United have been heavily linked with Griezmann, with the Red Devils understood to be willing to cough up the 100million euros required to activate the playmaker's release clause.
Griezmann is currently with the France squad after taking a break in the United States last week.
The Atletico forward said in an interview on French TV at the start of last week that he hoped to have his future sorted within a fortnight, with United's Europa League win and their subsequent qualification for the Champions League putting them at the front of the queue for the 26-year-old.
Van Dijk Favours Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp is hoping his magic touch can help Liverpool pull off a major surprise and land £50m-rated Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are locked in a four-way battle for Southampton's Dutch centre half with Antonio Conte's newly-crowned champions believed to be in pole position.
But it is understood that Liverpool have a genuine chance of doing a deal because van Dijk is attracted by the proposition of playing for Klopp.
Klopp is ready to make it clear that he will make van Dijk his defensive kingpin, that he can become a Kop legend and that he is the only centre half he is interested in this summer.
It will be a hard sell from Liverpool and, with the bonus of Champions League football, they hope they can lure him to Merseyside.
All four clubs have sounded out van Dijk's advisers and made strong enquiries, and Liverpool and Arsenal are ready to pay the best financial package of around £200,000-a-week.
Chelsea and Manchester City are also in the hunt with both clubs eager to land the powerful defender this summer.
Man United Ready To Bid For Benched Bale
Manchester United's potentially huge summer spending could get even bigger if Gareth Bale fails to start the Champions League final for Real Madrid, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The Barcelona outlet reports that United could be encouraged to bid for Bale if he starts the final on the bench after telling coach Zinedine Zidane he is fit and ready to play against Juventus.
Injury problems have seen him play an intermittent role at times this season, with Isco -- who has started in his place -- potentially in the XI in Cardiff despite Wales international Bale coming through training unscathed.
And if that happens, Mundo Deportivo says it would give United belief that Bale could be tempted to return to the Premier League.
Kelechi's Future
Manchester City striker Keleci Iheanacho will reject offers to leave the Premier League, despite interest from the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain, a source close to the player has told ESPN FC.
Iheanacho, 20, is expected to leave City this summer in search of more playing time after falling down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola, but the player prefers to stay in England.
"He has been in England for the last three years and is two years away from getting his UK citizenship," the source said. "There is no point in moving outside England right now."
West Ham are reported to be leading the chase for his services for a fee of around £20 million, but the source said that the deal would not go through immediately, until a legal dispute with his former agents is resolved.
Man United Will Target Willian If Perisic Pursuit Fails
Although United remain hopeful of signing Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic, the difference between the clubs' valuations means they could look elsewhere, the Independent reports.
United are said to have "a verbal agreement" with Croatia international Perisic, but hopes of a deal "could be scuppered due to Inter's €50 million asking price."
The Old Trafford club are willing to pay closer to €35m, and Jose Mourinho will move for his former player Willian if the difference cannot be resolved.
Although United "have made an initial approach," Willian has said he is not keen to leave "despite Chelsea being understood to have been willing to do a deal."
But the Independent says Perisic "wants to go to Old Trafford," with talks over terms having been held -- and his arrival could mean United are more willing to listen to any offers for Anthony Martial.
Meanwhile, on the defensive front, the Mirror reports that United "are favourites" to sign Tottenham defender Danny Rose, with Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino already looking for replacements.
Man City To Focus On Defensive Rebuild
Talking of big spending and Manchester, there is more to come from Manchester City, who will follow up the signing of Bernardo Silva and the impending arrival of goalkeeper Ederson with an overhaul of their back line, the Independent says.
It reports that Pep Guardiola will step up his pursuit of Spurs right-back Kyle Walker, Monaco left-back Benjamin Mendy and either Paris Saint-Germain's Marquinhos or Aymeric Laporte of Athletic Bilbao.
The City coach has become "frustrated with how long it has taken some players to fully grasp his ideas" and wants "a total overhaul" of his defence.
City have yet to submit a formal bid for Walker, but the Independent says they will do so after signing Mendy and will then focus on bringing in a new central defender.
Either Laporte -- linked with a move to City last year -- or Marquinhos is likely to cost more than £50m.
Liverpool To Sign 19-Year-Old Chelsea Striker
Liverpool are to sign Chelsea's teenage forward Dominic Solanke after he failed to agree a contract with the Premier League champions.
The fee for the 19-year-old will be decided by a tribunal, with Liverpool expected to pay around £3m.
Solanke, who is currently part of England's squad at the under-20 World Cup in South Korea, spent the 2015-16 season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, scoring seven goals in 25 games.
He made one senior Chelsea appearance.
As Solanke is older than 17 and will sign a professional contract, Liverpool's transfer embargo, which is enforced on signing academy players from other England clubs for two years, will not apply.

When it comes to rap, nobody's perfect. It does not matter if you've been in the game for two years or 20—the amount of material you create over the span of a career is ridiculous. And when your job asks you to write hundreds of words, piece together hundreds of lyrics, and run through a ridiculous amount of beats, there's bound to be a misstep (unless your Kanye The Great, of course).
Maybe they were trying to keep up with crowd. Maybe they put out a track for commercial reasons. Maybe they tried to hop on a bandwagon. Or maybe they just flat out messed up. Whatever the case, we've compiled a list of 10 rap songs the artists (hopefully) want us to forget.

Antibiotic drugs can be a lifesaver for anyone suffering from a bacterial infection such as meningitis or pneumonia. Antibiotics kill bacteria, and thus help fight infection. But some types of bacteria can develop a resistance to these drugs, while others not only become resistant but also utilize antibiotics as a source of food.
Until now, scientists have not fully understood how drug resistant bacteria manage to safely consume antibiotics, but a study that was published in the scientific journal Nature Chemical Biology earlier this year reveals important steps in this process. The study's findings could help establish new methods to remove antibiotics from soil and water, thus ridding the environment of antibiotic contaminants which promote drug resistance, undermining our ability to cure bacterial infections effectively.
"Ten years ago we stumbled onto the fact that bacteria can eat antibiotics, and everyone was shocked by it," said senior author Gautam Dantas, an associate professor of pathology and immunology, of molecular microbiology, and of biomedical engineering at the Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis. "But now it's beginning to make sense. It's just carbon, and wherever there's carbon, somebody will figure out how to eat it. Now that we understand how these bacteria do it, we can start thinking of ways to use this ability to get rid of antibiotics where they are causing harm."
When these resistant bacteria get into soil, waterways and ultimately drinking water sources, they can cause antibiotic resistance in people who are exposed to them. Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly common problem that adversely affects medical treatment of infectious diseases, eroding the advances made in medical care since antibiotics were discovered, and ultimately putting people's lives at risk.
Modern day agricultural and industrial practices which saturate the environment with antibiotic drugs are fueling the growth of antibiotic resistance. In China and India, the two largest producers of antibiotic drugs, pharmaceutical companies often discharge antibiotic-laden wastewater into local waterbodies. Back home in the US, farmers routinely feed antibiotics to their livestock to help them grow healthy and strong, resulting in animal waste that is laded with these drugs.
Because bacterial communities readily exchange genetic material, when soil and water become polluted with antibiotics, bacteria living in these habitats respond by sharing their antibiotic resistant genes with their neighbors.
The researchers wanted to gain a clearer understanding of how some bacteria in the environment are not only resistant to antibiotics, but also feed on the drugs. They examined four types of soil bacteria that were distantly related and which flourished on a diet consisting solely of penicillin — the first antibiotic ever discovered, which until recently was widely used but is prescribed less often now due to antibiotic resistance. They found three sets of genes that were activated when the bacteria consumed penicillin, but which became inactive when the bacteria consumed sugar. The three genetic sets correspond to the three steps the bacteria take to convert what should be a lethal drug into a nutritious meal.
According to the authors, "all of the bacteria start by neutralizing the dangerous part of the antibiotic. Once the toxin is disarmed, they snip off a tasty portion and eat it."
Gaining a clearer understanding of the steps the bacteria take to convert antibiotics into a source of food may help scientists bioengineer bacteria and put them to work ridding soil and waterbodies that are contaminated with antibiotics in an effort to combat the rise in drug resistance.
Because soil dwelling bacteria that typically consume antibiotics are not so easy to work with, the researchers suggest that with some genetic tweaking, "a more tractable species such as E. coli potentially could be engineered to feed on antibiotics in polluted land or water."
"With some smart engineering, we may be able to modify bacteria to break down antibiotics in the environment," said Terence Crofts, a post-doctoral researcher and primary author of the study.
While bacteria are effective at removing antibiotics from soil, their rate of consumption is slow. Consequently, if we have any hope of eradicating antibiotics from hotspots such as sites located near sewage plants' or pharmaceutical manufacturers' discharge outlets, any bioengineering project with this goal in mind would need to encourage the bacteria to consume antibiotics faster.
"You couldn't just douse a field with these soil bacteria today and expect them to clean everything up," Dantas said. "But now we know how they do it. It is much easier to improve on something that you already have than to try to design a system from scratch."

Healthy rewards from small garden spaces & good carbs
Farmers for America movie - Rethinking those amber waves of grain in future farming
I had the pleasure of previewing the new documentary "Farmers for America" yesterday with a group of other local farmers. This was an emotional up and down experience for me because the film covered just about every aspect of my own dreams and fears about the future of farming in the United States. There were three take-away realizations this farming documentary made evident to me by the end of this film that will affect not only my future potential for continuing as a farmer, but the future potential for young adults to get into farming, and the results of what could happen to the food supply if they don't.
We live in a rural area that is categorized as a food desert, so when the local produce season is over, finding good quality veggies can be a challenge, even in chain supermarket stores.
It is not uncommon to see grocery store produce coolers practically empty, so stocking up on fresh veggies is a must. Problem #2 is when there are veggies at the local stores, they rarely are fresh. So when we do find a bargain featuring quality veggies, we stock up and freeze for the future.
What's in the Beyond Burger and is it beyond what meat eaters and vegans will tolerate
In a world in which so many eating lifestyles exist, can one lab built burger be marketed as "one burger for all food lifestyles"? The new burger introduced in grocery stores is the Beyond Burger which aims to recruit a mass market by simulating the look, feel, and taste of a meat burger.
One of the responses I often hear from customers at our market booth when discussing indoor plants is "I can't have house plants because I have a cat". I totally sympathize with this statement because as an owner of two active dark tabby cats, I understand how curious and playful cats can be and house plants seem to be their playground. Read on to discover some simple tips to keep plants away from curious cats.
By planting a miniature garden and adding some fairy accessories, you can create a container garden with a purpose. Miniature gardens with specific themes, such as a fairy garden, are swiftly becoming an emerging trend for year-round gardening enjoyment. Beach, camping, and farm scenes are trendy for outdoor summer gardens. Holiday figurines can accent an indoor mini garden to change with the seasons.
Air Plants are a revitalized tropical gardening trend as both interior and outdoor plants. The trick for successful air plant care is to duplicate the humidity in their natural growing environment. Find out what home gardeners need to know about caring for air plants.
Succulent Terrarium Care
Does the broccoli served on your plate still have the same original nutritional qualities after harvest and distribution to the consumer market? The answer is 'maybe', depending on how many days it was stored after harvest and how the vegetable is prepared for eating. Broccoli carries a big bang of nutrition when picked fresh from the garden or when grown as broccoli microgreens or sprouts.
How to wash microgreens
The delicate and tiny nature of washing microgreen leaves can cause a soggy mess and create a dilemma in making a decision whether or not to wash them before use. Any fresh food produce that ages in the refrigerator is subject to additional bacteria that occurs during the natural aging process. Therefore modern food hygiene guidelines warn consumers to wash fresh produce before consumption even if the manufacturer makes claims the produce has been pre-washed. In this blog I will share some of the ideas I have received from market customers and my own experimentation to show how microgreens can be washed before serving by following a few simple tips.

Many Nigerians have dirty habits, and there is nothing unpatriotic about this admission of fact. We throw garbage indiscriminately all around. There is no limit to what such trash could be. From food wrappings of every description, empty water sachet, plastic bottles, paper, moi-moi leaf and even diapers.
Rather than leave trash inside a vehicle, people casually fling them onto the roads. Pedestrians are not left out of this horrific behavior either. It is not uncommon to find someone who had just finished munching suya to drop the wrapping anywhere.
When it rains in certain places, people hastily drag out their trash and empty them into drainages. They hope the impromptu current will carry such trash to anywhere else. We have little sense of waste recycling. They have little understanding of separation of plastic from paper or metal wastes; urinating or even defecating on the road is hardly a taboo.
It is almost normal seeing a man alight from his pricey car to take a leak by the roadside. Physiologically, it is convenient for men to do so, needing very little privacy.
Mechanics pour waste oil just about anywhere they find. In areas where there is Government-private sector participation in waste collection, some people refuse to pay for the service. They keep dumping the trash by their gates till if forms an unbearable heap.
We are a hazard unto our environment, and our own ecological disaster waiting to happen.
Yet, we are the first to complain when we get the effect of what we have caused. The rate of unintentional living here is unbelievable. People have no sense of responsibility to the environment; so they wage war against it continually.
Nigeria as a nation is oblivious to all those talks around the world about a cleaner environment. We hardly concern ourselves with melting glaciers, carbon emissions, the use of bio-degradable materials for certain products, recycling, or all those boring talks by all those oyinbo scientists. It mainly concerns itself with consumption alone. Even at that, the least of our trouble is what to do with the wastes generated after consuming everything. Or like most people insist, 'the government' did not put in place cleanliness enforcement mechanisms to compel people to desist from littering the environment.
But let's us think about it for a moment; how many government officials are there to monitor defaulters, a few hundred thousand? And how many are the rest of us who need to be whipped to the obedience of environmental laws? You guessed right, nearly two hundred million! Does it not make sense that we build a proper waste management culture from our homes?
I see those people in orange jumpsuits sweeping Lagos highways every day. That, I believe is a gesture from the Lagos State Government towards a cleaner metropolis. But no matter how efficiently those people try to keep the roads clean, the disgraceful filth remains.
One afternoon, I was sitting in the car around Ikeja High Court premises when two teenage girls walked past me. True to type, one of them threw the plastic cup she drank from on the ground right in front of my car. I called them back. 'You are students right?' They nodded. 'You know you should not be throwing things on the road' I continued, as they regarded me like I was speaking Hindi. I proceeded to give them a crash course on why we should not throw trash around. 'Please pick that cup; I am sure you will find a trash bin nearby to put it in'. I concluded my environmental law crash course. They mumbled between them, as the culprit picked the cup up, and they went away.
I knew I did not make any point when I looked at my side mirror and saw them swinging their arms happily. I looked at the ground a few meters away, and surely the cup was back there. It was a sad realization for me that there already exists the next generation of those who will destroy our environment further. Maybe I would have made the point to those recalcitrant teenagers if I wore a uniform and held a horsewhip.
During a slow moving traffic one other time, the driver to my right bought a music CD from a vendor. I watched as he tore the plastic wrapping off it and yes, he threw it on the road. As I drew up close to him, I got more infuriated when I and realized he was Caucasian.
With nationalistic zeal and irritation for environmental abuse, I confronted him. 'Can you do this nonsense in your country, how can you throw trash on the road?' Assumption is when you imagine a Caucasian did not grow up in Warri. 'Wetin concern you inside, abi na your head I throway am put?' He responded in flawless Pidgin English, with that Ajegunle accent that convinced me he grew up in Nigeria. Too shocked for words, I just wound up and moved on.
We have poor environmental culture, yet wonder why the Island got flooded some weeks ago. Land reclamation through sand-filling the lagoon and constructing houses where water shoreline should be is standard practice to us.What is more, we further block drainage pathways to the lagoon and violate every rule in relating with the environment. And while people affected by the flood grieved the devastation of their experience, others gloated over their misery on social media. The kind of callousness we are exhibiting today to nature and one another is stifling as it is terrifying.
Anyone over 30 years of age will realize we have been experiencing unprecedented heat of late. Whether we act or not, nature will keep manifesting. And as the flooding in Niger State that same weekend proved with its fatalities, the ecological issue is not just a 'coastal state or Lekki problem' alone.
We can continue to attack the environment all we want while praying to God to save us from torrential rainfalls. The joke will still remain on us, as nature continues to unleash its fury in response to our provocations.

Owing to the depletion of fossil resources and the increasing demand on fuels, it is important to develop renewable resources to produce fuels and chemicals for energy security. Over the past century, much effort has been made to develop processes for the efficient conversion of carbohydrates to sugars and biofuels. However, the current world bio-ethanol production only accounts for 6.25% of the total potential bio-ethanol production.
It is clear that many methods are available for converting biomass (especially cellulose and hemicellulose) into biofuels and that biomass conversion processes will continue to have industrial interest. Some of the key challengesare in the design of the biomass feedstock processes that are environmentally friendly, economic, versatile and efficient in view of the variable composition and diffuse distribution of biomass.The use of solid acid catalysts can address some of these challenges due to their use of mild operating conditions coupled with selective and efficient reactions. Solid acid catalysts have great potential for efficiently transforming lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and can replace many conventional liquid acids for hydrolysis and pretreatment.
Prof. FANG Zhen of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) was invitedby Prof. N.A. Chigier, Editor of Progress in Energy and Combustion Science (PECS) to contribute a review paper in this area.
Dr, Guo Feng and Prof. Fang Zhen et al. (Biomass Group, XTBG) summarized and analyzed current achievements in the hydrolysis of cellulose using solid acid catalysts. They briefly introduced conventional biomass pretreatment and hydrolysis techniques, and reviewed in detail the characteristics of biomass hydrolysis for five types of solid acid catalysts grouped as H-form zeolites, transition-metal oxides, cation-exchange resins, supported solid acids and heteropoly compounds. Suggestions were given for promoting catalytic efficiency for each kind of solid acid catalysts. Methods to promote reactions or increase selectivities such as microwave, ultrasonication and nanotechnology were introduced. Finally, they highlighted a recent strategy that exploitsacid-functionalized paramagnetic nanoparticles suitable for cellulose hydrolysis, and addressed new opportunities for the use of solid acid catalysts.
The review entitled "Solid Acid Mediated Hydrolysis of Biomass for Producing Biofuels" has been published online in Progress in Energy and Combustion Science(http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pecs.2012.04.001).

You might think a faster tempo would lead to more careless ballhandling, but the opposite has happened since the Lakers shifted from Mike Brown's methodical Princeton offense to Mike D'Antoni's freewheeling style of play.
The Lakers had 12 turnovers Friday against the Suns and 13 against the Rockets on Sunday, down from an average of 18 per game in their first eight contests of the season. Or before they began to implement D'Antoni's system.
"They should be down," he said. "We tell them to make easy plays, don't make hard plays. First good shot, we take. We don't overpass and we spread the floor, so passes should be easy. Not turning it over should be a byproduct."

Is there any way to show the mass properties (center of mass, moments of inertia...) of a part (.par) in solid edge ST9?
I would appreciate very much your help.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there @PhoebeB,
Pressume you're looking for the 3D model space display?.......if you go to the Inspect tab > Physical Properties...both the Global & Principal tabs have a check box to display symbol's for them....plus other information. HTH.

Thank you very much, @SeanCresswell.
Yes, I was looking for that. Now my doubt is how to make solid edge to know that all the elements I have designed form a unique part. I mean, I want to find the center of mass of the kite I have attached to this message. And it is composed of several swept surfaces and a bounded one. But Solid edge does not recognize that all the elements are one unique part (the whole kite).
I have tried to select element by element and then click on Properties, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Maybe I have to design element by element and then assemble all of them to form the whole kite. Any idea of what can I do?
Thank you.

@PhoebeB Looks like you used surfaces to build your model which have 0 thickness and thus have no material and thus have no physical properties. You need to have everything as a solid to get physical properties.
Does anyone know if I can assign different materials to different elements of the same part? For example one material for the leading edge and another one for the ribs.
If the answer is yes, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance
02-26-2017 04:03 PM - edited 02-27-2017 02:04 PM
Hi there @PhoebeB,
Yes you sort of can......BUT, I think you'd need to model it in pieces from the context of an assembly, make your sketch[es] in the Assembly environment, then base your pieces off that.....so the individual parts are exactly that, different part models, whereby you can assign different material properties as you go.
...or you could consider the "Split" command, to divide the model into individual pieces, then assign the properties to them individually. [the split parts are linked to the original file]

To further clarify Sean's answer…
The answer to your question is "no". You cannot assign different physical materials to different bodies in the same part file. It is one physical material per part file. So, in order to have multiple physical materials you will need a separate part file for each body.
With that said, if all you are looking at doing is trying to make your individual bodies within the same part file look visually different then you can use part painter to paint each body or surface with a different visual material property.

Sparrow wings
The Spirit of Honouring Hiroshima Past
On August 6th 1945 at 8:15 the partitions on the hull of the Enola Gay quietly part. It's a painless birth to a short and eventful life: 44 seconds later the 'Little Boy' unfurls its payload, 64Kgs of uranium-235. For a millisecond, above the barracks, rice fields, and playgrounds, there are two suns in the sky. Then one is gone.
Without a wail, Hiroshima hemorrhages 40,000 souls. A black-hole forms and the wailing begins; within 24 hours a vortex of fire and smoke claims that number again. And again, over the coming months 66,000 wilt and crisp amid the black rain, burning from the inside out.
Swoop Back to the Present
On January 16th 2015 a little old man in a cap shuffles his way down to the Peace Park. At 8:15 the bell in the clock tower chimes. He prays at his parents' grave. He shuffles over to the river by the Peace Dome and holds aloft tufts of bread.
From the trees above an excited flurry of wings and tweets fills the air. Squadrons of sparrows descend onto his outstretched, weathered hand. A joyous ritual marking our creaturely kinship and the passing of time.
He's famous now, I know because he told me. He asks me where I am from. 'England', I reply. He smiles and slowly nods. He takes out his smartphone and shows me the sparrow photos he uploads to facebook. In his stream tumble the faces of countless friends: foreigners, old Japanese men, pretty girls in bright kimonos. He struggles to locate his own photos. It is a moment of understated joy. For me too, I don't need to see the pictures; I have the wonder of him here in front of me. Over the years, how many people have shared this wonder, taken his photo and exchanged a few words?
I catch myself thinking, what would he give to have chalked-up an ordinary life, an unremarkable pensioner with a one digit friend list? But it doesn't do good to dwell. His warm, stoic countenance asks more of me. Might have beens should make us thankful for the now, for what is.
This moment, this random conversation in a weak winter sun, my brother chuckling at my side, the sparrows whirring overhead. After all so much can change in the blinking of an eye, the breaking of a wave, the unfurling of a sparrow's wing.

"…our research suggests that as many as 45 percent of the activities individuals are paid to perform can be automated by adapting currently demonstrated technologies. In the United States, these activities represent about $2 trillion in annual wages. Although we often think of automation primarily affecting low-skill, low-wage roles, we discovered that even the highest-paid occupations in the economy, such as financial managers, physicians, and senior executives, including CEOs, have a significant amount of activity that can be automated."
McKinsey Quarterly article entitled "Four fundamentals of workplace automation."
Two of the biggest catch-phrases in OSS vendor selections right now are "cost out" and "automation," which are effectively the former.
Unfortunately the biggest challenge to automating our OSS is complexity. The more complexity in the underlying systems and processes, the more complexity there will be in the automation. It becomes something of a perpetual cycle.
By analogy, the rules of chess are far more challenging than tic-tac-toe. So building chess automations are correspondingly far more complex than tic-tac-toe. Which would be more expensive to buy do you think?
So for organisations that want automations, I'd suggest first looking at how you can drastically simplify your underlying processes and systems before seeking to automate within your OSS.Read the Passionate About OSS Blog for more or Subscribe to the Passionate About OSS Blog by Email

Tucked in the Corner
What a difference a day makes. Today Cricket and I took a walk between clients. The sun felt great shining on us. Cricket stopped at our little place that we sit and enjoy the sunshine. We had a few minutes to enjoy and be still. There was a lady that was super kind at Arctic Circle today. She was educating her little girl about Cricket in such a helpful way. She then helped me get my drink and opened the door for me while verbally telling me what she was doing. Her kindness was so sweet.
My sidebars are still dropping to the bottom of my blog even though the layout indicates otherwise. Sigh. On a single post they appear. Perhaps I'll tuck this concern in a corner for now. Long, but joyful day in so many ways at the office today.
I love lab kisses!

I have become more accustomed to the "uniform" type approach to dressing for several reasons - I like certain styles of dress, it keeps my wardrobe clutter to a minimum, I love playing with my favourite accessory, the scarf to change up seasonal trends and... I've realised that I can't always see how an outfit truly looks on me if I'm buying something different. It's hard to truly see the silhouette/fit etc when you're piecing your body image together in the mirror, piece by piece. How is your head my dear friend? I feel your pain on those moments. My ear still hurts occasionally, a couple of months on from a painful meeting with a pole. I avoid it now, we didn't hit it off, so to speak! xx

Many businesses have discovered the power of social media marketing; from creative entrepreneurs to long established blue-chip companies, this is the marketing way of the future. Millions of people log onto social networks on a daily basis, and you can reach out to any of them. When you create a professional presence on these networking sites, you increase the potential reach of your business by the millions.
Post new blog entries at least four or five times a week. Update your blog with information about promotions or sales your company has coming up. If you have any important news -new locations, change of hours, special closing, etc. Don't forget to include this information in your blog posts.
When you post on a blog, make sure that there is a button the viewer can use to share the post to Facebook close by. This lets people that visit your blog share it with those on their list of friends. This is a very effective way to quickly expand the audience of your blog, which, in turn, means more potential customers for your products and services.
Determine if you really want to establish a relationship with customers. A well-designed social media marketing strategy will allow your business to drive sales through its interactions with customers. Just simply saying "hello" to your customers is all it requires to be on the level with customers which requires a back and forth interchange. Pay attention to you customer's responses, and you will know how to proceed.
On social networks it is a great idea to let everyone know how well you are doing. For example, create an article when your company reaches five thousand fans on Facebook. You should take the time to thank your followers for their support, and discuss how social media has worked out for you. A post about the results of your social media marketing will be popular and highly-shared.
Use Twitter tools like Twellow and Tweepi. Using these tools will help make automated updates and can lead you directly to the customers with the demographics you're looking for. This will help you get a list of those you should follow and hope they'll subscribe to the updates you post as well.
These strategies which you have just read about will help get your business up to speed in the modern world. If you incorporate these ideas into your marketing strategy, you will become better able to make use of social media sites. You may find that you are astonished at how much it helps your business.

What happens when your husband disappoints you?Published by Sandya dev December 20th, 2008 in Couples, Relationship
EMail This Post
You feel let down because you expected in the first place. Expectations happen only when we are secure about the relationship. There is an element of 'taking for granted' when there is intimacy, involved.
Disappointments happen only when there are unrealistic expectations. Just like imagination has no boundaries, expectation has no limits. Adding fuel to the fire is the fantasy fiction and celluloid drama that can fan the angst of failed expectations.
Radhika was jolted out of her reverie when Bhaskar became the 'typical husband'. Definition of 'typical' being – get up, go to work, come back late and relax at home. Their typical conversation started with 'what's for breakfast and ended with have you paid the bills'. While she stewed being at home, he was happy outside working. Or so she thought.
What Radhika was missing was the romance. What she failed to realize was Bhaskar's job was high pressured and involved late hours.
Radhika and Bhaskar are examples of what many couples face in present scenario. While there was plenty of time for romance during the courtship, where did it all go after marriage?
Courtship is a testing ground to understand a relationship before making it permanent. The time spent is limited and each returns to their respective homes later. But when both live under the same roof and share space then the problem arises.
Sort out differences by talking i.e. talking to each other and not to his or her friends. When you talk to others about your problems –it is information passed on that all is not well at your home front. Confide if you must to somebody reliable and not to all your acquaintances.
Pouring your heart out will be cathartic and help get it off your chest. But just bemoaning on the situation will not help you. Instead, pull yourself and ask valid questions – prioritise your expectations and express it to your partner.
There is no problem that cannot be worked out provided we set our mind to finding a solution. Assess realistically and allow for concessions. If your objective is to stay together, talk and get the problem sorted. If either of the partners clams up then it is road to perdition.
Too many marriages end in divorce because the couples have failed to talk. Don't waste time by slinging abuses and accusations. Use time constructively to resolve the issue.
One simple but effective approach would be to be objective about the issue. Put this 'issue' on spotlight (metaphorically speaking) and debate it. Work out a schedule, to start with and figure out how to rectify differences. It might seem ridiculous at first to be doing this exercise. But, it will at least take the tension out of your system.
Most problems get blown out of proportion because it is bottled up. There is no outlet to vent your steam. Contrarily if you put things in perspective the situation might look less gruesome.
However, it is easier said than done. But try it and your persistence will be rewarded.
Marriage is like a sapling that needs constant nurturing. If untended will wither away. Giving too much attention will make it rot. Allow for space in the relationship and decide to make it work. Give it your best short.
Marriage should not break because you have failed to make an effort. Make room for disappointments, they are bound to happen. But, also prepare to take steps to minimize them because it is in your hands to allow the disappointment to either smother you or make you go forward.

(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania / Gloucester, Massachusetts, 1870 - 1937)
Born in Leesburg, Virginia, Hugh Henry Breckenridge was long associated with Philadelphia as a modernist painter and teacher. From 1887 to 1892, he was a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he then taught for more than forty years. In 1892 he was awarded a scholarship enabling him to study in Paris at the Academie Julian with William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) and to travel through Europe, going with the Pennsylvania impressionist Walter E. Schofield (1869-1944).
His subsequent landscapes, portraits, and figure paintings reveal the influence of impressionism and an overwhelming fascination with color. His first solo exhibition in 1904 included both paintings and pastels. Breckenridge also produced many commissioned portraits, which provided him with a source of income; these exhibit the dazzling brushwork typical of society portraiture of the period. A second trip to Europe with Schofield in 1909 made Breckenridge aware of more avant-garde trends. During the 1910s, he worked alternately in a vigorous neo-impressionist technique, which he referred to as "tapestry painting,' and in a somewhat academic style enriched by an expressionist palette. These paintings gained for him national recognition as a foremost modernist whose art was easily accessible to the public.
Ultimately, however, Breckenridge remained loyal to more contemplative and traditional subject matter. His later works were often floral still-lifes, or depictions of the Gloucester harbor in Massachusetts, which was only an open door or window away from his waterfront studio. Gloucester was the location of many of Breckenridge's most treasured associations, especially those connected with his art school. 'Gloucester has everything the artist wants except mountains,' he told an interviewer in 1926, and obviously his opinion changed little over the last decade of his life.

If you love reading books by Martina Cole, Jessie Keane, Kimberley Chambers, you'll love taking a trip back in time to the East End's underworld in Sandra Prior's Dangerous…
Bobby Taylor is the epitome of dangerous. He's a king pin who has amassed enough gang ties in his life to fill the Royal Opera House. But on November 5, 1971, Bobby's underworld lifestyle finally caught up with him. While those who loved and hated him try to get over the shock of his sudden death, it's now up to Bobby's son Mickey to settle old scores and figure out what really happened to his dad.
Mickey is no stranger to this seedy underworld. He grew up idolizing his dad's lifestyle and tried to mimic his every move. Once he was old enough to make a mark of his own, Mickey earned the nickname "Dangerous" — and he's done everything he can to live up to it.
He's obsessed with power, hatred, and now revenge.
Mickey refuses to simply settle in as the leader of his dad's gangland empire. Instead, he will stop at nothing to get answers about Bobby's death. He's not afraid of anything — which is proof of just how dangerous he is.
But in his quest for answers, Mickey gets a little more than he bargained for. He has to deal with a broken mother who suffered endless beatings at Bobby's hands. He has to tap into all of the secrets that his brothers and sisters have never dared to tell. He has to dig through memories of rape, violence, and drug abuse in order to get to the truth.
Most importantly, he has to wonder if one of his family members finally couldn't take anymore of Bobby's abuse. After all, they each had plenty of reasons for wanting him dead.
Will Mickey get the answers he's looking for?
Will his family ever be able to rise above the horrors that Bobby left behind?
Will Mickey be able to protect the family members he has left?
One thing's for sure . . . This will be the most dangerous thing he will ever do . . .
