Real Madrid's last league game was El Clasico, and the outcome didn't swing in their favor.
Barcelona walked away with three points, and Real has now lost three of their last five games, a type of downturn that rarely occurs for the La Liga powerhouse.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti, who has seen Los Blancos surge to huge heights with a 22-game win streak earlier this season, realizes that his squad is failing to produce in the short term but remains confident in what the future holds.
[RELATED: Rodriquez, Messi back from injury]
After all, the Italian believes his team played well against Barca and can build off that showing in the ultimate chase for a second consecutive Champions League crown.
"The defeat was hard, but the sensations were good because they returned to play as we wanted and as we know. That will help us win more in the future."
"As I always say, the first objective is to reach the Champions League final and the second is overcome the opposition in the final," Ancelotti said. "This Real Madrid has all the conditions to compete at all levels in all competitions, so the goal is to win."
Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale have acted as the centerpieces to Real's attack this season, and although they haven't been able to spur the offensive spark for victory, the return of James Rodriquez may add that wrinkle of talent necessary to turn their path around.
Given the extensive season length and slim margin for error, it's common to see usually consistent form take dips now and again, and facing 19th-place Granada on Sunday, Real has the ideal opportunity to recapture dominance.

2018 graphite electrode comeback
Since the beginning of 2017, graphite electrodes have ushered in the "spring" of the market and the prices have been rising all the time. The reasons can be summarized as follows:
First, the weak international economic recovery a few years ago, the domestic economic growth slowed down, the economic environment is not good. The second is the steel industry to eliminate production capacity, ban the "Grid Steel," and strictly control environmental protection indicators. Some intermediate frequency electric furnace to electric furnace, part of the electric furnace have been discontinued have been re-production.Third, with the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, the relevant state departments to take a series of measures to reduce emissions haze and protect the environment. Fourthly, in the international market, the gap of graphite electrodes is larger. Fifth, the graphite electrode process and the production cycle is relatively long, generally 4 to 5 months of the production cycle is rising raw material prices, production costs rise rapidly. Seven is the production of graphite electrode raw materials --- needle coke and low-sulfur petroleum coke tight, in short supply.

Raising Public Awareness of Islam Using Art
We found it sad and disturbing to see these beautiful statues veiled. And something else: When the statue is veiled it becomes painfully clear that it obliterates the individuality of the woman. It blanks her out. She becomes a cipher. So much of our unique personalities is revealed in our faces. The veil hides it from the world.
Follow the links below to watch Rosato's two videos (slide shows really):
You can also see Rosato's photographs on Facebook here. In a short post about this, LastDaysNews writes:
Repression leads to resistance. Censoring speech leads to more covert forms of messaging. Political correctness gives birth to more sophisticated forms of protest. A mysterious German artist calling himself Rosato has begun putting Burkas over the heads of female statues in the park to warn about the impact of Islamization on Europe.
A picture says a thousand words and these pictures communicate even more than that without violating a single law.
One of the qualities free people have in more abundance than those enslaved by restrictive ideologies is creativity. Let's use it to our advantage. Think now: What creative action can you take to get people to take a second look at Islam and stop blindly accepting the comforting lie that Islam is really a religion of peace?

During a clash between Hashd al-Sha'abi forces and ISIL forces on Monday, a number of ISIL terrorist members have been killed in the north of Diyala Governorate, eastern of Iraq.
Previously, Hashd al-Sha'abi forces have successfully captured 15 ISIL members in Iraq's Nineveh province during the Ramadan operation on May 12.
In recent weeks, they also identified two ISIL terrorist bases on the outskirts of Mosul in a reconnaissance operation. Based on accurate intelligence from Hashd al-Sha'abi forces, Iraq's Army carried airstrike attacks against the ISIL bases in Mosul. All ISIL members present in the two bases were killed and their equipment destroyed in the bombing of Iraqi fighters.

Week in Review: A Quick Reaction to the Bengals Preseaon So Far
I have to apologize ladies and gentlemen, for the past couple of weeks I have had to find different ways to coax my ego besides writing some of my opinions on the Bengals for Stripe Hype. I have mostly done this by destroying friends and co-workers in Fantasy Football drafts and by beating my grandmother unmercifully in the downloadable Madden 13 demo in anticipation for tonight's midnight release for what might be the most hyped Madden game of the franchise. Though I digress, Wednesday will be all about Madden and Friday I'll have something special for you Fantasy Football degenerates, but this morning, it's all about the Who Dey.
I need to go ahead and clarify that just because I have not been writing as of late doesn't mean I haven't been watching, because I have and I'm not convinced I like all that I see. I have to say there have been more positives than negatives overall as the defense seems primed and ready to carry this team to the playoffs on their shoulders once again. They held their opponents respectively to 3, 13, and 17 points in the first half. The team they relinquished 17 too was the Super Bowl champions from two seasons ago, the Green Bay Packers. The defense is making plays as well, forcing an interception from Aaron Rodgers and also the Falcons and Jets in their first two games. Not to mention all of the plays this defense has made up to this point have not been at full strength. Defensive lineman Carlos Dunlap and Robert Geathers have sat most of the preseason taking care of injuries. First round draft pick Dre Kirckpatrick has not even played a down yet in the NFL so who knows how much he might be able to contribute to the secondary this year. Also don't forget that Mike Zimmer hasn't really began to use any of his blitz packages yet during these games that don't matter and should be ready to unleash hell week 1 against the Ravens. The bottom line is I may have worries about the Bengals going into this season, but none of them are on the defensive side of the ball.
Now as far as the offense is concerned it's not all bad. I'm not here to gripe about possibilities, only to make sense of what has happened so far, which isn't much. It is clear that Andy Dalton and A.J. Green are going to account for most of the big plays on offense and I have no problem with that. But it is my belief that if the Bengals are going to make reservations for New Orleans this year, they're going to need more. Now once again I know the disclaimer is that even the offense isn't supposed to be running on all cylinders yet so there is plenty of maneuverability for what I'm about to say.

They say history sticks to your feet, but sometimes it stops you in your tracks
The Parliament Buildings are ornate creations. Few walls, pillars or doors are without intricacies.
The hallway where the Sergeant-at-Arms office lies is different, however. The walls are plain, the signs are small and simple, and the lighting, unlike most of the building, is artificial.
The 2:50 p.m. tour in English was about to begin. My tour group was led into the welcoming hall, which is lined with gold plaques inscribed with the names of every sitting parliament in the history of Canada. I didn't recognize any of the ones beside me, except for the Prime Ministers at the tops of each list.
What took me to Ottawa was Nash 77 – the national conference for Canadian University Press, an organization of student newspapers from all across the country of which The Omega is a member. Although it was a long ways away, I was excited to see Ottawa, a city I'd never thought to travel to but was now given the opportunity to explore, with our hotel just blocks from the Parliament Buildings.
The double doors capping the welcoming hall closed and our guide stepped onto an inconspicuously placed platform and welcomed us. Alex was warm, funny and young. I thought about how much work it probably took him to get this job. As he took us into another hallway that led to a staircase, he flung open the wooden doors with both hands and we walked directly towards an ascending staircase. I was excited. This was my first trip to Ottawa and I felt that I couldn't leave without seeing Parliament.
I couldn't tell you what it was about the Sergeant-at-Arms' office that caught my eye, but it did, and immediately after it did, chills rushed down my body as we approached the staircase. By the second floor, they were gone, but my reaction surprised me. Maybe it shouldn't have.
The Canadian Capital often feels like it's a long way from B.C. – not just geographically, but ideologically, too. But during my week in Ottawa, just like the week of the Oct. 22 shootings, it felt a lot closer.
Parliament is a place of recent history – very recent, compared to most of the buildings and the objects that live within them. Just outside the senate chamber lies a portrait of Queen Victoria – an original, unlike some of the others hanging nearby. Her portrait survived four fires over the years and has seen a lot of hardship as it was dragged through the country's history.
I can definitely admire that particular portrait's history. In fact it fills me with wonder. But what it doesn't do is give me the chills. It doesn't put the image of a map in my head and drop a pin at Ottawa. It doesn't force me to instantly and overwhelmingly understand how important this place is. It doesn't inject the historical significance of all of the major decisions made in this building every day. It doesn't bring to mind the staggering number of people who work for our government and dedicate their lives to public service because they believe in the high standard of living we try to maintain or improve upon.
The brief sighting of the Sergeant-at-Arms' office did exactly that, and I felt all of it so quickly that I was overwhelmed and proud and so happy to be where I was. The winter waiting for me outside, a sharp -28 C with wind chill that I'd already braved once to get there, wasn't just worth braving, it was a reminder that Canadians are a hearty sort and have been for a long time

Black Adam Will Reportedly Be A Wonderland For DC Fans
After years of being attached to the character, Dwayne Johnson is finally about to make his DCEU debut as Black Adam in his own self-titled movie. Following on from the tangentially-related Shazam!, fans can't wait to see what Black Adam has in store, given all the exciting reports we've heard about it. After all, The Rock himself has confirmed that the film will introduce the Justice Society of America into the cinematic franchise alongside the eponymous ruler of Kahndaq.
So, Adam himself and a bunch of Golden Age heroes. Sounds like a must-watch for DC lovers everywhere, right? Well, The Geeks Worldwide's Thomas Polito has claimed on Twitter that he's read parts of the Black Adam script and he promises that "it's a DC fans wonderland." His choice of accompanying GIF no doubt confirms that Doctor Fate will be one of the JSA members appearing in the movie, too.
I've read parts of the Black Adam script, it's a DC fans wonderland. Hope the movie isn't delayed too much by the coronavirus because I want to see this sooner rather than later. Gonna be worth the wait no matter what though. pic.twitter.com/LSCBGB4DdM
— Thomas Polito (@PolitoThomas) March 24, 2020
Of course, this corroborates We Got This Covered's own scoops about Black Adam, as we've previously revealed that Kent Nelson will be showing up in the film, with Warner Bros. hoping to land a big name for the part – we heard Michael Fassbender was one actor being eyed. Multiple outlets have reported that Hawkman will have a leading role in the movie, too, with Stargirl likely being included as well. Jay Garrick's Flash and Alan Scott's Green Lantern are also under consideration.
With the Justice League being rested for the moment following the debacle of the 2017 effort, dropping the JSA into the DCEU at this stage could help to massively expand the franchise. Obviously, Johnson's Teth-Adam is going to steal the show, but if the superhero team impresses audiences, then they could follow it up with countless spinoffs set across the decades.
Black Adam was supposed to start shooting this July, but as Polito says, it'll be affected somewhat by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fingers crossed it'll still make its December 2021 release date though, as we've been waiting long enough for this one.

Gennady Golovkin Vs. Vanes Martirosyan :
International Boxing Federation World Middleweight Title
World Boxing Association Super World Middleweight Title
World Boxing Council World Middleweight Title
At 3DBoxing we said before and we will say it again if you are upset about the Cinco de Mayo fight don't blame GGG. The Golovkin/ Martirosyan fight is completely the fault of Canelo and no one else.
Martirosyan is a relatively late replacement for Canelo Alvarez who withdrew from the fight after two failed drug tests that ultimately led to his suspension. Martirosyan is a solid professional who has been in the ring with talented 154-pound fighters like Erislandy Lara (twice), Demetrius Andrade and Jermell Charlo. Coming up short against every truly top level fighter he has been in the wrong. However, he does score solid wins over the likes of Ishe Smith, Joe Greene, and Willie Nelson.
GGG hasn't won a fight in well over a year and even at that it was a highly controversial decision over Jacobs that at least 50% of the public thinks he lost, before that he beat a welterweight, so its actually been just over two years since he clearly beat someone (Dominic Wade) who wasn't two weight classes smaller than him. Most consider Golovkin to be on the downside of his career but he still hits like a wrecking ball with a granite chin.
Martirosyan will be competitive in this fight. The first two rounds are a feeling out process, as the challenger attempts to shake the two years of ring rust off. It's a pretty uneventful exchange of jabs with GGG trying to track his foe down. After two rounds Lampley and the HBO cheerleading crew have Golovkin up 2-0 but the fight is mainly even and uneventful. By, the third Martirosyan begins to score with a few combinations on the inside and tying up the champ nullifying his strength and power advantage on the inside. The hand speed advantage is noticeable as Martirosyan is scoring and outsmarting Golovkin in spots. After the fifth its clear that the challenger is going to make a fight of this. However, he begins to slow and GGG begins to land to the body and drops Martirosyan halfway through the 6th with a left hook to the body right hand to the head combo. Martirosyan gets back up to his feet and survives the round and the assault from the wrecking ball that is GGG, but just barely. GGG starts the 7th by jabbing his way in and Martirosyan tried to move and tie up but GGG is successful in cutting off the ring and keeping his hands flying pummeling the undersized challenger against the ropes and dropping him for good a minute or so into the seventh.
Official Predictions
Golovkin via 7th round KO
David Haye vs Tony Bellew
It's been 14 months since these two last squared off and there's been nothing in-between for these two blown up cruiserweights meeting up again as heavyweights.
Tony Bellew will enter the 02 Arena again as an underdog against David Haye as he attempts to prove his 11th-round TKO last year was no fluke. Haymaker was ahead on the cards in the first fight before he suffered the Achilles injury. He bravely fought on but was clearly damaged goods. Bellew boxed well enough seizing on his compromised opponent.
Bellew is slicker than most defensively, especially when it comes to the bigger weight classes. However, he was being outboxed by Haye early in the first fight. The edge in power is clearly in Haye's favor, but you have to consider the potential psychological edge Bellew may enjoy after having stopped his rival in the first meeting.
It will be a constant grind with Bellew trying to out slick and outbox Haye. But, this is mostly to no avail as Haye outlands and scores cleanly every time the two get close. Bellew boxers well at times but is never really able to put it together and is never really able to consistently defend against Haye's right hand. The right hands that began to sell up the left side of Bellew's face. The damage and the one-sidedness of the fight leave Bellew in survival mode for the last three or four rounds. On the back foot and being able to tie Haye up whenever the two get close. Bellew is able to survive and last the 12 rounds. Haye takes a UD 118-110 and 119-109 X2.
Official Prediction:
David Haye UD

The new year is here and so are the latest numbers from the Las Vegas real estate market. Here's what you need to know.

Selling in the Las Vegas area? Get a FREE Home Price Evaluation
The December numbers are in for the Las Vegas residential real estate market, so we wanted to share them with you today.
We ended the year with 8,500 homes on the market. That's nearly double what we saw in December 2017.
December 2018 also saw about 3,000 homes come on the market, which is up from the 2,500 we saw in December 2017.
Another statistic we like to track is the properties that went under contract, or pending sales. These homes haven't quite closed yet, but the buyer and seller have agreed on a price and signed a contract. There were 2,400 pending sales in December 2018, down from 2,900 in December 2017.
"If demand remains flat, homes are going to be harder to sell."
Additionally, there were 2,600 closed home sales in December. That's also down from 3,200 in December 2017.
The percentage of homes closed in December was right at 31%. In December 2017, that figure was almost at 70% because of our limited inventory at the time.
The more homes we have on the market, the more choices buyers will have. If demand remains flat, that's going to make it harder to sell. In order to maximize your equity, it's something to keep a close eye on.
If you're thinking about buying a home, now really is a great time to get out there. We'd be happy to answer any questions you have and refer you to a great lender in the area.
If you're thinking about selling a home, we'd be happy to give you a free, no-obligation comparative market analysis on your home.
If you have any other questions or need anything else from me, don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Noor's family is still in Syria, exposed to constant danger and threats. "When I called my dad the other day, I can hear it in his voice… he was terrified.
"Everything in my life was planned ahead of time with my family and my father was taking care of us emotionally and financially. He secured a job for me after graduation until we lost everything and we were forced to leave because of ISIS. I can still remember attending college back at home, enjoying walks together with my friends at night and feeling safe in the crowded streets of Damascus. I love to walk with my sister in the streets of old Philadelphia. It reminds me of the streets back in Syria. " - Noor, an NSC client from Syria
When ISIS started a Jihad against Christianity, Noor witnessed her house in Syria burn down. It was the house where she had lived, full of memories with her family. She was hiding in her Muslim neighbor's house, when it happened, and she saw it consume with fire, with her very own eyes. ISIS targeted the family for being Christians and Noor says with sorrow and fear, "I will never forgive ISIS who destroyed our house and forced us to leave our family and our country."
"I'm trying really hard to go on with my life but there's this constant feeling that something is missing." Noor takes a moment to think about what she just said and shares that she is she still thinking of her family back home and what will happen to them. Noor's family is still in Syria, exposed to constant danger and threats. "When I called my dad the other day, I can hear it in his voice… he was terrified because his friend was killed by ISIS at 8:00 am in broad daylight. It was in the middle of the street, in front of people, and no one was able to do anything This could happen to my father or my family at any day and at any time."
Noor tried to apply for a visitor visa for her mother to come to Philadelphia recently, but was denied. An American family agreed on sponsoring the mother but after going through all the paperwork and costs, during the visa interview, she was rejected because she was Syrian. "I still feel confused by the contradictory nature of the US system and why my mother was not given the visa."
The hardest part of living in US is that you need to depend on yourself and take care of everything in order to adjust to the new system here. "There's are a lot of paper work you have to go through, lawyers are very expensive, and both me and my sister had to take care of all of that on our own in a foreign country, as we did not know about NSC at that time."
Noor heard about NSC and PPR services from her lawyer who referred her. Noor's first interaction with NSC was when she worked as a volunteer at the educational department at NSC and she originally thought of NSC as a good job opportunity. Noor did not know that NSC provided immigration services and that there is a specific program that can provide social services to asylum seekers like her. When she thinks about NSC, she says "I had not been guided and connected to the right directions and resources to adjust to my new life here in the US, but NSC and the PPR program became my guide."
Noor was surprised and overwhelmed by the wide support offered in different aspects including education, medical and employment, which she didn't know she had access to. Noor says, " I was impressed how the case manager and the NSC staff was able to offer these services within a short period of time. They also welcomed us with their friendly and warm smiles and tried to explain everything step by step to become familiar with the processes and systems here in US."
Noor described that this was the major turning point in her life where she had to start all over again from nothing. "No one knew that I am such a strong woman, I am even surprised at myself. In Syria, I didn't realize how strong I was and how many things I was capable of doing. You have to be strong to be able to face everything. I have changed a lot since I came to US in 2013. Now, I have to work much harder than I ever have to barely cover my expenses and leave my house to get to work at 4:00 am," says Noor.
Noor's philosophy is to be positive, always smile and take your time to solve your problems. Noor's greatest struggle is being granted asylum and being able to bring her family here so that they all be together again and be safe. Noor says it is hard to be granted asylum here and US should bring more Syrian refugees as Syrians are still in continuous danger and facing the terrors of ISIS ."I'm still waiting to be scheduled for my asylum court interview and it has been two years. It's waiting while you know your family is in constant danger that is the hardest. I wish US can help in bringing more Syrians and not to complicate the process as it is now."

Learner Story – Alice
Find out how Alice-Elizabeth has enjoyed using FutureLearn to improve her performance at work and college, and why she was inspired to go Unlimited.
In this post, Alice-Elizabeth tells us how FutureLearn has boosted her workplace and study skills.
After completing one course, she signed up to FutureLearn Unlimited and is looking into completing an online degree on the FutureLearn platform.
After Alice-Elizabeth's plans to complete an NVQ in business studies were put on hold due to COVID-19, she took King's College London's Introduction to Business Management on FutureLearn as a way to keep learning and prepare for further education.
Get ahead before starting college or university
"I first heard about FutureLearn from a family member who has an Unlimited subscription and completes courses for their work in the museum and cultural sectors. As part of my voluntary role in a charity bookshop, I was due to start an NVQ in Business Studies in March of 2020. However, when local COVID-19 lockdowns were imposed, my studies were put on hold until the summer. As a result, I searched online for alternative business courses to not only give me a head start for my college studies, but to see if this was generally the right area for me to pursue."
FutureLearn helped to ease Alice-Elizabeth into studying and transformed her confidence.
"One of my lifelong struggles has been speaking up and being comfortable with discussing new ideas. I've gained confidence by engaging with the comments section across all the courses I've completed and communicating with both learners and educators. I also managed to become more in control with regards to time management and finding the right time of the day (or night!) that works best for me to study. FutureLearn has acted as a great stepping stone towards my NVQ study – it would have been really daunting to begin my NVQ if I hadn't completed this course."
Build soft skills for the workplace
Alice-Elizabeth says FutureLearn has also helped to develop her workplace skills, and she is now applying the knowledge she's gained to her current role.
"I learnt from the Business Management course how to communicate better with colleagues at my voluntary role. It also encouraged me to share and demonstrate creative and enterprising ideas for shop displays, and boosted my confidence off the shop floor with tasks such as sorting through stock, and valuation of books and vinyl. I also continue to apply the personal communication and creative skills I learned to my NVQ studies."
One of Alice's favourite things about FutureLearn is the wide variety of courses and the ability to complete them on different devices.
"The range of courses was what really attracted me to joining FutureLearn – there seems to be new content added every week! The website is also fast and easy to access on my laptop and even on a mobile device with no issues. This meant that during lockdown, I could study on my mobile device in the garden and still keep up to date with which step of the course I was at. It also felt great to see the completed status for a course on your FutureLearn profile, which made me smile! I also added the certificate I gained to my CV, which I think is a great idea."
Get limitless access to thousands of courses
After completing the King's College London course, Alice signed up to FutureLearn Unlimited. Unlimited offers learners limitless access to all short courses on the platform for a year.
You can enrol and earn certificates in as many courses as you like, and share your certificates with your professional network.
Alice-Elizabeth has been inspired to look into completing an online degree on the platform.
"After finishing my first course, my family surprised me with an unlimited subscription to the platform for a year! The King's College London course has really changed my entire mindset – I found myself taking more notes and undertaking extended reading away from FutureLearn, on current affairs and economics news relevant to the course. This has inspired me to seriously consider studying with Coventry University via FutureLearn on one of their online business degrees!

- Adam Stubbings
Three: The magic number for Rovers
The first month of the season is all but done with and, as we sit back and reflect on our first half dozen games of 2016/17, it's comforting to know that we currently occupy an automatic promotion place even at this early stage.
Yes, the Rovers are up to third after a thumping 4-1 win over perennial shadow Yeovil Town, and within a week or two sitting at the very top of the pile is a distinct possibility.
Three wins on the spin
The fact we can even talk about being top of the table is testament to the change in atmosphere at the club. For the past three years being anywhere near the top has been a mere fantasy, and whilst it may be down to our recent failings that we can now tilt at the top, it is still refreshing for us fans. Whether you play in the Premier League of the Northern Counties East League, every supporter starts the season hoping his or her team can finish in that coveted first spot.
Rovers have won three games in a row for the first in Darren Ferguson's tenure, building momentum through a trio of differing performances. Cambridge United, who now sit rock bottom of the EFL after a poor start, were the first to taste defeat at the hands of Fergie's men a fortnight ago, thoroughly outplayed and left chasing shadows for much of a tense encounter. Whilst that showing didn't reflect in the scoreline, we did do just enough to secure a 1-0 win and it was a performance uncharacteristic of recent Rovers sides. We controlled the game and held firm at the back when needed, and it was this mindset that took us forward to another win the following weekend, again by a single goal, away to Cheltenham.
The Robins won the National League last season to return to League Two at the first attempt, and their unbeaten record at Whaddon Road stretched back to last September. By the same token, we had not registered a single away victory since beating Southend 3-0 on January 2nd, right before the wheels came off our season in horrendous fashion. John Marquis popped up to net the winner as he had four days earlier, and by the time Yeovil came to town on Bank Holiday weekend the new strike partnership of Marquis and Andy Williams was in full flow. More on that shortly.
The stats only get better from there. We have managed to score in every game, including in a tough EFL Cup defeat to Championship big guns Nottingham Forest, managed to keep back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since last November in 1-0 wins over Cambridge and Cheltenham, and after putting the Glovers to the sword this past Saturday are now the – yes, you guessed it – third highest scorers in League Two. The club and fans expect nothing less than a promotion challenge this season, but it is still very encouraging that we have managed to make such a strong start as we are not traditionally strong starters and it should not be underestimated how difficult it is to turn around a side with a losing mentality.
Williams at the treble
Three wins in a row sealed by three excellent goals, a first career hat trick for talisman Andy Williams against his former club undersigning our biggest win of the campaign so far. Yeovil Town competed gamely with us for 80 minutes or so but in the end footballing finesse won out over brute force and the Glovers were sent packing with nothing to show for their physical tactics. Williams was the centrepiece of it all, netting three goals in the 4-1 win that sent us into the automatic promotion slots. The first a crisp strike from a knockdown after only 34 seconds, then with the game in the balance at 2-1, superb work down the right flank by James Coppinger teed Williams up for his second. Now playing with freedom against ten men, Rovers crafted another good move down the opposite flank and this time Tommy Rowe lofted a ball in for Williams to head home and seal the match ball.
In truth it has been a tough start to the season for our #11. Signed with a big reputation for scoring goals last summer, Williams took his time to get up and running and we have seen him fall victim to confidence issues during his time in South Yorkshire. Just two minutes into this campaign his head was down again after seeing a penalty saved at Accrington, and since then he has huffed and puffed up front with little to show for it bar a fortuitous goal later in that opening game owing to a colossal goalkeeping error from Aaron Chapman in the Stanley goal.
By contract to that showing and his performances in games since then, Williams hit the front against Yeovil and never looked back. His early goal gave him renewed vigour and he ran tirelessly at the Somerset side's back line all afternoon, his late flurry just reward for his endeavour throughout. One of the pre-season favourites for the Golden Boot with bookmakers, Williams' hat trick here has put him joint top of the scoring charts with Notts County's veteran Jon Stead and Grimsby forward Omar Bogle, who himself netted a treble in a comprehensive home win on Saturday. The question remains whether Williams can not harness this form into the coming weeks and months, but he is well capable as we all saw in this game and if he can then surely few will be able to challenge him for that top scorer accolade.
Three areas of concern
I have unfortunately been laid up injured the past couple of weeks and you can be forgiven for thinking it might be sympathy pain for the Rovers squad, as Darren Ferguson contends with an alarming injury crisis. At time of writing eleven (ELEVEN) players are suffering from injuries of varying degrees, and this was not helped by Yeovil's "kick them off the park" tactics and a spineless referee facilitating them. Mitchell Lund and Matty Blair both ended the day in hospital and the first concern has to be the lack of fit defenders.
Teenagers Reece Fielding and Danny Amos have had to sit on the bench in the last few games due to this, and with both Lund and Joe Wright suffering blows on Saturday they may be called upon to start in the meaningless "Checkatrade.com Trophy" fixture at Mansfield tomorrow night. The manager has stressed he is assessing his options ahead of the closure of the transfer window in two days time, and if Lund is set to be out for any length of time he must surely act and bring in another body or two. Aaron Taylor-Sinclair remains out with a knee injury until 2017, Craig Alcock is not yet near returning to training and Niall Mason, Mathieu Baudry and Tyler Garratt are all still several weeks away from being available too, meaning we are dangerously short at the back.
Another potential problem, perhaps not right now but down the line, is lack of depth up front and, whilst Dany N'Guessan remains on the books he is actively looking to be moved on leaving us with only Williams and Marquis as senior recognised forwards. Fergie knows this isn't enough and has repeatedly stated his intention to bring in a Keshi Anderson-esque pacy forward to add to our options, but will he now be able to do this with the injury problems mounting in other areas of the squad? My hope is that he still brings in a forward along with a defender despite our growing squad size, as you can never be too careful and our injury problems don't seem to be going away. If one of the first choice forwards picks up an injury we are left having to throw Joe Pugh in at the deep end, or asking Liam Mandeville to move back up front after impressing in an attacking midfield role this season.
Finally, Fergie has mooted the possible need to bring in an experienced goalkeeper to bolster the gloved core. Whilst this may not be seen as a concern to many fans, going on into the season without knowing who our firm #1 is is not something we should be allowing to happen. Ross Etheridge was brought in to claim that role but mistakes littered his first few appearances and as a result he has already lost the shirt to Marko Marosi, a man who was on his way out of the club in the summer until the last minute of negotiations. Marosi has been solid in the last three games, keeping two clean sheets and really deserving of a third against Yeovil, scuppered only by the brainless backpass of Matty Blair that put Ryan Hedges in for the visitors goal, but whether he is capable of keeping the shirt for the rest of the season remains a mystery at this point.

Meal Planning on a Budget: How to Save And Eat Healthy
Meal Planning on A Budget
Along with all of other excuses on the planet, a lot of people complain that eating healthy for weight loss is expensive. Here to debunk that myth, with careful meal planning, the average woman seeking to lose weight can do so on a meal plan for only $5 dollars a day! Might I add that a venti caramel macchiato from Starbucks is $4.92 (including 6% sales tax). This meal plan includes 5 meals a day inclusive of a post-workout protein shake and basic foods that can be purchased at your local grocery store or at a Costco for the ultimate value and cost savings. Check out these tips for meal planning on a budget to save on your next grocery store trip. Also, take a look at the sample meal plan to for an idea on how to get started today.
Purchase Budget Friendly Foods
Purchasing store brand foods in bulk such as oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, and olive oil is essential to getting the ultimate value. The average price difference between store brands and national brands can be as much as 25% or more. These items are often manufactured by the same company and private labeled by the supermarket by putting their logo on the product packaging. Chain grocery stores do not have to market their products the same way national brands do therefore passing the savings onto the consumer. If you aren't doing this already, this tip alone can save a household thousands within a year.
Choose Your Meats Wisely
While protein sources such as salmon, shrimp, and beef are nice additions to any meal plan, they are the most expensive in terms of cost per pound. The best value for protein, especially when you're on a budget, can be found in boneless skinless chicken breast (with rib meat) as this typically goes on sale to $1.99/lb on a regular basis. Liquid egg whites can be purchased by the quart at most grocery stores and even greater bulk discounts from Costco or other wholesale grocery store.
Shop Online for Protein Powder
While stores like GNC and Vitamin Shoppe are the most convenient options when purchasing a whey protein powder, they are seriously marked up compared to online supplement retailers such as Bodybuilding.com or Muscleandstrength.com which offer more product variety with promotions for free shipping to make shopping online a convenient and affordable experience. One particular product that is a great economy protein offering is Muscle Gauge Nutrition's American Protein Isolate. A Pure Isolate protein (having low carbs and fat) is much more expensive than a product like this which only has 3 grams of fat and 3 grams of carbs per serving while still providing over 22g of protein per serving. When you consider these subtle changes in the nutrition panel and see that the price difference between the 2 options can be as much as a 30% price difference, you can easily adjust your meal plan to make sure you can adapt the value of the lower priced protein into your meal planning budget without messing up your daily macros.
Budget Friendly Sample Menu
This sample menu is suitable for a woman seeking to lose 1-1.5 lbs per week and up to 10% of her total body-weight with weight training and cardio a minimum of 3-4 times a week.
Grocery List:
- Store Brand Instant Oatmeal
- Store Brand Raisins (Bulk)
- Store Brand Ground Cinnamon
- Store Brand Sucralose Packets (Bulk)
- Liquid Egg Whites (Purchased by the quart or more)
- Boneless skinless chicken breast (Must be $1.99/lb on sale or less)
- Broccolli Crowns (Must be $1.99/lb on sale or less)
- Store Brand Whole Wheat Spaghetti Pasta (on sale Must be <$0.99/box or less)
- Store Brand Olive Oil Spray

Economist insights: Tax cuts come a step closer in the US, slight economic slowdown in China (p.1)
›The US House of Representatives has approved a bill on tax cuts, but their financing, although planned in the 2018 budget, remains uncertain. This could result in a widening of the deficit
›Economic activity in China faced a slight slowdown in October. The measures relating to stricter management of the country's financial imbalances should be ramped up over the coming months
›The marked disinflation and the accommodative monetary policy maintained for the past few months in Brazil are behind the progress in private consumption
UK focus: No end to the deadlock in sight (p.4)
›The economic slowdown that we forecast for 2017 has been confirmed and should continue in 2018, due to the persistent uncertainty surrounding the conditions for leaving the European Union (EU)
›For 2019, there are two possible scenarios according to our analysis: a smooth transition for the UK's exit from the EU or a definitive withdrawal without any agreement being reached
›We expect no improvement in the economic outlook with either of these scenarios: the first, which is our central scenario, would see a further slowdown in activity, while the second would trigger a recession.Macro Highlights - November 20th 2017 - US tax cuts, Chinese statistics & UK

Resource detail
Title: Cookstove technology
Source:The Energy and Resources Institute
TERI felt the need to utilize the forced draft (using fan to inject air into the combustion chamber) micro--‐gasification technology to develop an improved biomass cookstove. After two years of intensive research, field--‐testing and customization TERI has developed a single port metal stove that can cater to cooking requirements of a family of up to 7 members. Fuel wood, agriculture residue and cattle dung cake can be used as fuel for this stove. The power charger has dual charging mode (AC/ grid power supply and solar power supply) to cater to households in unelectrified areas.
Outcome/Benefits: Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD) has tested the stove and certified that it has passed all applicable government performance benchmarks. IITD has reported that the stove has combustion efficiency of 98.8% thereby reducing particulate matter emission (per unit of energy delivered) and carbon monoxide by 72% and 80% respectively comparison to a traditional mud stove. As it has high (~37%) thermal efficiency, the stove also reduces fuel consumption by 54% vis-a-vis mud stove that leads to lesser drudgery for women/ children in terms of fuel collection and processing. For users, there Is also additional benefit of faster cooking and less blackening of vessels.
Commercially tested: Yes

Monster Jellyfish
Giant jellyfish like this one are taking over parts of the world's oceans as overfishing and other human activities open windows of opportunity for them to prosper, say researchers.
In this photo, a diver is attaching a sensor to track a monster Echizen jellyfish, which has a body almost 5 feet across, off the coast of northern Japan.
Jellyfish are normally kept in check by fish, which eat small jellyfish and compete for jellyfish food such as zooplankton, researchers said. But, with overfishing, jellyfish numbers are increasing.
These huge creatures can burst through fishing nets, as well as destroy local fisheries with their taste for fish eggs and larvae.
Anthony Richardson of CSIRO Marine & Atmospheric Research and colleagues reported their findings in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution to coincide with World Oceans Day.
They say climate change could also cause jellyfish populations to grow. The team believes that for the first time, water conditions could lead to what they call a "jellyfish stable state," in which jellyfish rule the oceans.
The combination of overfishing and high levels of nutrients in the water has been linked to jellyfish blooms. Nitrogen and phosphorous in run-off cause red phytoplankton blooms, which create low-oxygen dead zones where jellyfish survive, but fish can't, researchers said.
"(There is) a jellyfish called Nomura, which is the biggest jellyfish in the world. It can weigh 200 kilograms (440 pounds), as big as a sumo wrestler and is 2 meters (2.5 feet) in diameter," Richardson said.
Richardson said jellyfish numbers are increasing in Southeast Asia, the Black Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea.

text: Meaning they each held this card and signed it. Card is in very good condition! Honestly, I have no idea how this card graded a 8, considering how high all the subs are aside from the surface, which I saw hardly anything wrong with.The autos receiving a 9 is a bit crazy too, but due to Carmelo going out of his allotted box, thats what prevented it from grading the perfect 10. This card is an amazing candidate for a possibly regrade/bump. To have a card hand signed by these 4, in the same year where we lost Kobe, and now Lebron just brought the Lakers a Championship in Kobes honor, for the first time in a decade.... Not much else to say. The item "2004 SP Signature Kobe Bryant/Michael Jordan/Lebron James/Carmelo Quad Auto /15" is in sale since Saturday, October 24, 2020. This item is in the category "Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop\Sports Trading Cards\Basketball Cards". The seller is "rycollectibles12" and is located in Marlton, New Jersey.

A British F35 fighter jet has crashed in the Mediterranean, the Ministry of Defence has reported.
The pilot ejected before the crash and has returned to the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth.
The MoD says an investigation has begun.
An MoD spokesman said: "A British F35 pilot from HMS Queen Elizabeth ejected during routine flying operations in the Mediterranean this morning.
"The pilot has been safely returned to the ship and an investigation has begun, so it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
To preserve its stealth shaping, the F-35 has two internal weapons bays with four weapons stations.
The two outboard weapon stations each can carry ordnance up to 2,500 lb (1,100 kg), or 1,500 lb (680 kg) for F-35B, while the two inboard stations carry air-to-air missiles.
Armament typically includes two air to air missiles, two bombs and a 25mm gun pod.
The United Kingdom's Royal Air Force and Royal Navy both operate the F-35B, known simply as the Lightning in British service.
In October 2019, the Dambusters and No. 17 TES F-35s were embarked on HMS Queen Elizabeth for the first time. No. 617 Squadron departed RAF Marham on 22 January 2020 for their first Exercise Red Flag with the Lightning
It has a top speed of Mach 1.6 - more than 1,200mph.
Each jet is reported to cost £190million.

A man pays for cigarettes with a $20 bill.
A child plays with a toy gun in a park.
A teenager and his friend walk down the middle of a street in their neighborhood.
Each is a seemingly innocuous occurrence, actions that anyone across America might do on any day of the week. But in each case, a police officer was soon involved. And in each scenario, the man, the child and the teenager all ended up dead.
George Floyd. Tamir Rice. Michael Brown.
Their names could be listed along with so many others that never piqued national media interest, but nevertheless are deaths that people had in mind when they took to the streets this summer demanding police accountability.
One of the topics of debate that has arisen from the Black Lives Matter movement is how to keep these routine scenarios, things that officers encounter daily, from unnecessarily turning deady.
There are those who will argue that it's always the actions of the person who wound up shot dead, not police, that deserve scrutiny. A litany of rationales will follow. "If they had only complied with what the officer ordered. If they hadn't been high. If they hadn't argued …" If, if, if.
How about if the police officer had kept in mind that the initial infraction could never be worth the life that they were taking?
"De-escalation," whether the officer is adept at it or not, is often the deciding factor. This is a key policing term being thrown at the public during the trial of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin, charged in the death of Floyd.
De-escalation makes all the difference in policing. It represents the crucial minutes, sometimes seconds, that determine whether a police officer and citizen interact in a way that ends without incident — with a citation or a warning, maybe even a non-violent arrest. But nothing dramatic, nothing that scars community-police relations or worse, ends a life.
In these crucial moments, what is said and done, how the officer interprets the situation as well as whether they have the skills to calm it before the stakes rise can prevent a fatal, avoidable crescendo.
Virtually every well-known death at the hands of police, either by gun or force, saw an officer ignore, mishandle or vulgarly abuse the opportunity to make different choices, as was the case with Chauvin.
And yet, most states do not mandate de-escalation training. It's often the chiefs of police or sheriffs who decide whether it's valued, if the skills are worth cultivating and reinforcing among officers.
By the time a life is taken, the circumstances might appear to meet the legal qualifications for lethal use of force. However, it's crucial that policing reform efforts drill down beyond appearances to examine the events that led up to that point.
For the most part, there's no way to charge an officer for not de-escalating. Maybe that's why it doesn't gain the attention that it deserves.
Obviously, every situation is different and hindsight makes things clearer, but de-escalation skills are pretty basic: the ability to slow a situation down, active listening, short commands, a calm voice. Additional training in checking implicit bias, understanding how people in a mental health crisis react are another layer of crucial skills.
The most effective officers in de-escalation sound a whole lot like people you'd like for a neighbor; calm, caring, with high levels of emotional intelligence.
Police shoot about 1,000 civilians dead every year. The numbers are pretty consistent, despite dramatic declines in violent and property crime rates in the last two decades.
Certainly, in some deaths at the hands of police, the lethal threat to the officer or someone else would be indisputable. But in other cases, an analysis of the entire interaction would likely show other patterns, mistakes and opportunities that could have resulted in everyone walking away unharmed.
Training instructors might instead act out the details of the events of George Floyd's death, but do so using solid de-escalation tactics.
How could the fact that Floyd was apologizing to officers when he stepped out of the car be used to defuse the situation? What would happen if officers listened when Floyd told them he was claustrophobic and didn't want to be put into the police car?
Or what about the information that's been turned against Floyd's character in the trial of Chauvin — that fact that Floyd was suspected of being high and toxicology reports showed that he had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system? How should officers treat someone in that state?
People shouldn't have to be saints to walk away unscathed from an interaction with a police officer. George Floyd died over a $20 bill. Tamir Rice was playing with a toy pellet gun. And Michael Brown was walking down the street.
All of them should be alive today.

After working in the financial field of 401K plans for several years, I switched gears and came to St. Margaret of Scotland School. I have had the opportunity to watch as the school has more than doubled in size. I have also had the opportunity to watch so many children, including my own, come into our school as pre-school students and leave here young adults; an amazing gift to say the least.
It is such a blessing to continuously see the world through a child's eyes!
