SQ automaton core, intelligent construct
Arcane Pincers (Ex)
A champion automaton's pincers function as claw attacks but have been magically treated to make them more powerful. A champion applies twice its Strength as a bonus on damage rolls with its pincers.
If a champion automaton grabs a creature smaller than itself with a pincer, the champion automaton does not gain the grappled condition and can move normally while holding the creature in its pincer. While holding a creature in a pincer, the champion automaton loses access to that pincer attack and gains an additional slam attack.
If the champion automaton uses this slam attack against a creature or object while a creature is held in its pincer, the held creature takes damage equal to the slam attack on a hit. The champion automaton must still maintain the grapple every round, but it can do so as a free action. The grappled creature can attempt to break free as normal.
Energy Beam (Ex)
A champion automaton can focus the energy in its core to emit either a 60-foot line or a 30-foot cone as a standard action. The beam deals 8d6 points of damage to each creature caught in the area (Reflex DC 20 half). Half of the damage dealt is fire damage and half is force damage. A champion automaton can use its energy beam once every 1d4 rounds. A champion automaton can use its energy beam when it is grappling or being grappled. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Warrior's Resolve (Ex)
The innate determination and instinct in a champion automaton's core grants it an insight bonus to AC equal to its Wisdom bonus (if any).
Additionally, this resolve grants the champion a number of bonus hit points per Hit Die equal to its Wisdom bonus (if any).
Environment any (Axis)
Organization solitary or pair
Treasure none
Champion automatons are enormous constructs typically made from a combination of magically treated stone and metal, which allows them to withstand the powerful blows typically encountered in battle. Although these bodies are extremely heavy, the magical energies that power them allow the automatons to move as quickly as most other combatants, if not faster. A typical champion automaton is 14 feet tall and weighs 2 tons, though some reach as much as 40 feet in height.
The most notable features of a champion automaton are its enormous pincers. The durability of its body and the magical ritual that reinforces the pincers' structure allows a champion automaton to swing its pincer with tremendous force. In combat, these constructs use the pincers to clamp onto particularly pesky enemies. Once a champion has successfully grabbed an enemy, it remains free to keep swinging its pincer, slamming its captive foe into other enemies to damage both creatures.
The other devastating weapon of a champion automaton is the automaton core itself. The potent core constantly collects planar energy at an impressive rate in order to power the large constructs. A champion automaton can focus excess energy into a deadly beam of force capable of destroying structures or slaying large numbers of foes.

· Ask your primary care physician for a recommendation.
· Your primary care physician will have experience dealing with orthopedic surgeons within the area.
· Under some circumstances, the recommendation of your primary care physician is needed to proceed with specialized care.
· Consult your medical health care insurance provider's claims representative for referrals and/or in network doctors.
· Depending on the policy agreement, the medical insurance provider may have specific criteria and surgeons within the health care network.
· Finding care outside of the network may increase out of pocket costs.
· Ask for referrals from trusted family members, friends, work colleagues and others within the social peer network.
· Use the Internet to research and review a leading Fountain Valley orthopedic surgeon and specialist within the area.
· Medical reviews are available on various sites including social media outlets.
· Consult professional databases including the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and American Medical Association.
· The databases are accessible online with various features to aid in researching the available specialists within a specific geographical area.
Make the Appointment
When you search is over, make the appointment to see a Fountain Valley orthopedic surgeon – like Dr. Howard Marans. Before going to the appointment take the time to write out various questions to ask the doctor. Individualized attention and care are the main factors in finding a highly qualified orthopedic surgeon. The questions may include:
· What are the doctor's credentials? Board certifications?
· How many similar procedures are performed on a regular basis?
· What are the primary risks to proceeding with this type of treatment?
· What is the desired outcome for this specific treatment program?
· Does the procedure result in a specific amount of improvement?
· What are the non-surgical treatments available? How would this approach help?
· Does the procedure require a hospital stay?
· How much physical therapy will be needed after the surgery?
An orthopedic surgeon should take the time to answer each question to make the patient feel comfortable with the choice. Individualized care is important for achieving a successful outcome. If, at any time, the patient does not feel comfortable with the choice, a second opinion should be the next step in the care process.

Background Information on Parchment
Please visit the BPG Parchment page for information about the Identification of Parchment and the History of Manufacture and Use of Parchment. See Treatment Variations for general treatment protocols for parchment as codex leaves or single folio documents.
Use in Book Making
Covering Material
There are differences of opinion in how to describe various styles of parchment-covered bookbindings. Etherington & Roberts (1982), Ligatus, and Albritton and Amato (2016) describe a "limp binding" or "limp covers" as having no underlying board. Although Ligatus disagrees with the use of the term, but both Ligatus and Albritton & Amato agree that a semi-limp binding has a thin, flexible board underneath the covering material. Stiff-board bindings have rigid boards that are fully adhered, drummed-on, or loose (i.e. the classification depends on the rigidity of the underlying material).
Other conservators base the classification on whether or not the covering material is adhered to the board. If there is no adhesive connection, then it is a limp binding, and if there is an adhesive connection, it is a stiff board binding [citation needed].
Limp Vellum
Semi-Limp Vellum
Albritton and Amato (2016) describe two types of semi-limp bindings:
- a wrapped board binding has a "full flexible stiffener found wrapped beneath its outer parchment cover."
- a floating boards binding has "two separate flexible boards inserted at the front and back covers."
Stiff Board Vellum
As discussed above, this can refer to a binding with a stiff board underneath the vellum cover or to a binding where the vellum is adhered to a board, rigid or not.
Stiff-Board Vellum Binding with Slotted Spine
See Clarkson and Pugliese articles below.

Manuscript waste from medieval manuscripts was frequently used as covering material.

Incident Management Systems have come a long way since their inception, but even with the advancements in technology, it's not always easy to find a system that suits your needs by allowing for important, sometimes even critical, customization via API and third-party integration. Believe it or not, many systems don't allow this sort of integration, making your BC plan for specific scenarios harder to achieve when multiple systems must be accessed.
Experience Matters
Some of what comes into play when it comes to integrating third-party apps and functionality with your IMS system ties back to experience. We've been doing this long enough to know what people need, and we have been fortunate enough to develop a system that allows us to deliver just that. Pair that with a team who knows how to architect a system that fits in with your plans and elevates your organization's ability to bounce back, and you've got a powerful tool on your hands that will prepare you for any business disruption that might come your way.
Integrate for Your Needs
What types of things might you consider integrating from a third party? One of the most common we see is weather-related. Because natural disasters can bring about the most unexpected and catastrophic business disruptions, integrations like Accuweather allow BC teams to send alerts when weather warnings occur and tie those responses directly into your comprehensive business continuity plan. Other integrations can help keep you abreast of any issues with your organization's security systems and other critical systems, allowing your response to be even more immediate and stop negative impact in its tracks.
Level up Your BC Systems
Down to the second response is what's expected of businesses in today's world, and having the power to respond to (and know when you need to respond) any disruption that might come your way is the key to bouncing back quickly and minimizing damage. In order to do this, leveling up your BC systems with third party integrations might be exactly what you need. After all, maybe that additional integration is the missing piece keeping you from reacting in the way you need. Ready to level up your BC systems and be fully prepared to execute on your most robust continuity plan yet? We'd love to help.

As of noon today, the yield on the 30-year Treasury Bond was almost unchanged at 4.20%.
GATT Rate Stuck at 4.20%
Consumer Sentiment and Earnings Angst Spurs Buying in Treasuries–Pushing Yields Lower
Weaker than expected earnings estimates from Chevron and a lower read on consumer sentiment sent investors fleeing for Treasuries pushing yields lower. Although this is a bad thing for the market, it is a potentially positive development for GATT rate calculations going into August.
Uninspiring Results of Today's 30Y Auction see Yields Rise to Around 4.30%
Although the auction was successful, most of the supply(67%) occured near the high end of the yiled curve(4.30)–this is not horrible news for GATT calculations; however, it does break the nice downward trend we were experiencing.
Record 11 Billion 30Y Auction is Pivotal for the GATT Rate
30Y Auction Results will be released today at 1:00 PM EST. If the bid-to-cover comes in as strong as yesterday's 10y, we could see rates hover around the 4.20% level for a while, if not, we're in for a wide ride to the upside–perhaps to 5% or more.
30-yr Bond Roller Coaster Continues today
Back up to 4.256% on the GATT Rate as of 10am. We're seeing really big swings lately on this yield.
GATT Rate closes at 4.16% today
Huge drop is great news for those of you thinking about retiring in the 4th quarter. Of course, none of this really matters until August, which is the next lock-in month for Associates.
GATT dropping even further today
Shortly before 2pm, the yield on the 30-yr Treasury is down to 4.187% — round up to 4.19% which is now lower than the rate that was locked in back in May for July-August-September.
Recent Trend of the GATT Rate
Jamie Cox has prepared this graph of the GATT rate over the last month or so. As you can see, the rate spiked up initially, but has been coming back down — potentially good news for those of you contemplating retirement.
GATT Update for July 8th
After locking in the month of May at 4.23%, the GATT rate looked like it was going to skyrocket, closing as high as 4.75 on June 10th. But as of yesterday, July 7th, the GATT closed at 4.31 and is currently at 4.25 as of the time of this post. Still too early to tell […]

Be impolite, and your skin color will be the first topic coming out someone's mouth.
Try to speak portuguese, you'll get more points with the people, and they'll enjoy trying to teach you a bit (after all you're brasilian and must speak portuguese! The ones I see, don't have much quality (would not bang).
Brasilians also, because they think that they are better than us, and we don't like that kind of shit, also because there was a huge "crime wave" from brasilian gangs a couple of years ago. To put this straight, if somebody lost something, the first suspect will be the gypsy in the room that might have stole it. Skinheads got their asses kicked several times, the most "important" one is in jail and almost all hangout places are closed.
Lots of guys might call you "Preto" (black/nigger) in front of you (never in a office setting).
i cant say for sure about portugal, from what i've seen on the internet (comments made by portuguese people,especially on youtube wich is a warzone between Pt's and Br's) they are very racist, even high status celebs like rihanna complained about the overt racism, just google racism in portugal When they do surveys of racism in Europe, Portugal is usually ranked number one for least racist (and Spain is one of the most racist).
IMHO Portuguese ppl are just more open to other races.
Here's a photo of the Arrábida Natural Park in PT: if you are black and you are looking for girls, why don't you go to Germany? btw I'm brazilian but think that any place you will rock if you game well...
I heard also that Portugal has lots of beautiful girls I'm Portuguese and I'm going to give my point of view: Yes, we are a little bit racist towards blacks and gypsies (not asian). Actually we might be a little bit bipolar about it. because gypsies are afraid of frogs, they won't go inside) Organized violence is almost nonexistent.
In rural PT you may find some hostility, since the older generation fought the 1961-1975 colonial war in the former African colonies of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau.In any case, I don't think racism is a serious problem in either country. Do you guys think I´m better off in Brazil or should I go for Portugal? If you want to learn Portuguese outside of work while taking lessons, etc..best bet would be Brazil of course as their dialect is much more prominent than the one in Portugal.Wait you have a Brazilian passport but don't know Portuguese too well? That would lead to much more opportunities hooking up with the local women, etc down there.He says that that's his color, so he doesn't really give a shit, so it can also depend on how sensitive to this you are.
(Unrelated but fun story, when obama was elected president, I was in a cruise and had dinner with an american guy that asked our opinion about obama. Her english isn't the best and she wasn't aware that the word is offensive for english speakers, because to us it isn't. Fun fact, she wass a teacher in a very difficult school (lots of refugees from africa) and everybody from students to parents liked her.Still 15 years later people come to her out of nowhere to say hello and thank her) If a portuguese guy doesn't like you, he will probably just not bother to speak with you.

Toyota's October Sales Surpass 200,000
Late last month, Toyota announced that it had regained its global sales lead from Volkswagen. It's no surprise, then, to learn that the Japanese automaker just experienced its best October ever in the United States, with sales of 204,045 units across its three brands (Toyota, Lexus, and Scion).
Toyota Division was the leader, with 177,609 of those sales. That was a 13% increase on a volume basis, and an incredible 8.9% increase on a daily selling rate (DSR) basis when compared with October 2014.
Sales of the superstar Camry sedan increased 12% to total 27,951 units. Similarly, the Prius experienced a 12.5% increase, and sales of the Highlander rose 10% to post the best October ever for the SUV. October was a landmark month for Toyota, as the Mirai hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle went on sale, with 34 units sold total.
Following a pattern of late, sales of Toyota's light trucks and SUVs were up—19% for light trucks with 101,907 units sold. Sales of the 4Runner were up more than 36%, and the Sequoia experienced a 43% surge in sales.
"October was a huge month for the industry, smashing expectations and continuing its hot streak," said Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager for the Toyota Division. "Toyota Division posted best-ever sales for the month led by October record-breaking sales of Highlander and RAV4.
With only two months left in the year, it's looking like Toyota will be named the world's best-selling automaker for 2015.

Robert Mueller agrees to give evidence to congressional committees
The special counsel will make long-awaited appearances before politicians in Washington.
Robert Mueller has agreed to give evidence publicly before Congress on July 17 after Democrats issued subpoenas to compel him to appear, the chairmen of two House committees have announced.
The special counsel's unusual back-to-back appearances in front of the Judiciary and Intelligence committees are likely to be the most highly anticipated congressional hearings in years, particularly given his resolute silence throughout his two-year investigation into Russian contacts with President Donald Trump's campaign.
Mr Mueller never responded to angry public attacks from Mr Trump or join his prosecutors in court or make announcements of criminal charges from the team.
His sole public statement came from the Justice Department podium last month as he announced his departure, when he sought to explain his decision to not indict the president or to accuse him of criminal conduct.
He also put legislators on notice that he did not ever intend to say more than what he put in the 448-page report.
"We chose those words carefully and the work speaks for itself," he said on May 29. "I would not provide information beyond what is already public in any appearance before Congress."
The two committees continued negotiations that had already been going on for weeks, saying they still wanted to hear from Mr Mueller, no matter how reluctant he was.
"When you accept the role of special counsel in one of the most significant investigations in modern history you're going to have to expect that you're going to be asked to come and testify before Congress," House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff told reporters shortly after the announcement.
Robert Mueller has agreed to testify before Congress pursuant to subpoena.— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) June 26, 2019
Russia attacked our democracy to help Trump win. Trump welcomed and used that help. As Mueller said, that should concern every American.
And now, every American will get to hear directly from Mueller.
Mr Trump simply tweeted: "Presidential Harassment!"
In the report issued in April, Mr Mueller concluded there was not enough evidence to establish a conspiracy between Mr Trump's presidential campaign and Russia, which was the original question that started the investigation.
But he also said he could not exonerate Mr Trump on obstruction of justice. The report examined several episodes in which the president attempted to influence the investigation.
Democrats say it is now the job of Congress to assess the report's findings. Legislators are likely to confront Mr Mueller on why he did not come to a firm conclusion on obstruction of justice.
They are also likely to seek his reaction to a drumbeat of incessant criticism from the president and ask for his personal opinion about whether Mr Trump would have been charged were he not the commander-in-chief.
Mr Schiff and House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler said they issued the subpoenas on Tuesday, and Mr Mueller agreed to give evidence pursuant to those subpoenas. In a letter to Mr Mueller accompanying the subpoenas, the committee chairmen said: "The American public deserves to hear directly from you about your investigation and conclusions."
Mr Schiff said there will be two hearings "back to back", one for each committee, and they will also meet Mr Mueller's staff in closed session afterwards.

It is the first day of the transfer window as Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola carefully plans for the defence of his record breaking Premier League title.
And having delivered a league and cup double last season, the manager has delighted fans further by signing a new deal that will keep him at the Etihad until 2021.
"There is always more," he said recently.
"You may think there isn't - the players you coach are responsible for new ways of thinking and insights.
"Sometimes you discover things you previously didn't know, maybe pairing these two players will give you a good midfield movement, something like that.
"When I left Barcelona, I thought that my space to revolutionise was ended, but no.
"We have seen that there is always a way to do new things, especially because you have different players."
Stick with us as we bring you all the news, reaction and transfer rumours LIVE all day.
Guardiola's impressive win percentage
This stat highlights just how good City have been since Guardiola's arrival in England.
72.4% - Pep Guardiola has the best win percentage of any manager in Premier League history (min. 5 games). Extension. pic.twitter.com/TBXalVyz4i— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) May 17, 2018
Reaction to Guardiola's new contract from City's chief executive
This is what Ferran Soriano had to say:
"Pep's new contract extension is fantastic news for Manchester City. We have all been privileged to witness how we have played beautiful football, won titles, broken records and reached the incredible mark of 100 Premier League points. Pep has shown this style can succeed in the Premier League in a way it has never been done before.
"This season has been another step of our strategic plan and the continuous effort to improve the football we play. We are very pleased with the progress. There is more work to do and having Pep committed to Manchester City for the next three seasons gives us the stability to be able to continue our journey to beautiful football and success for the Club."
Reaction to Guardiola's new contract from City's chairman
Manchester City FC Chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, said:
"We are delighted to announce the extension of Pep's contract through to 2021. In his two seasons with us, he has fostered an incredible spirit within the squad and significantly contributed to our progress both on and off the field. In doing so he has embodied the passion and commitment we all have for the Club.
"I am very much looking forward to the continued impact of his work and to fulfilling our shared ambitions in the coming seasons."
Guardiola: It's a pleasure to work here
The City manager had this to say after extending his contract:
"I am so happy and excited. It's a pleasure to be able to work here.
"I enjoy working with our players every day and we will try to do our best together in the coming years. As a manager, you have to feel good to be with the players – and I feel good.
"I will focus on the desire of my players to become a better team and every day that's what I will try to do – to improve on the pitch and improve our players. We have a young squad with an average age of 23 and we want to keep taking steps forward and maintain the levels we've achieved this season."
"Three more years to keep growing"
"The story continues. Three more years to keep growing and enjoying," a tweet on the @PepTeam Twitter account reads.
Guardiola signs new deal until 2021
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract until 2021.
Watch Ederson break Guinness World Record
Remember when Ederson broke the record for longest dropkick? There's video footage of it now.
Champions League seedings
Even more reason to support Real Madrid.
Jorginho agent offers update
Jorginho's agent has spoken to CalcioNapoli and explained the current situation. He says it won't be a problem for City and Napoli to reach an agreement over the player AS LONG AS Napoli agree to sell him. Sounds like City firmly in the lead to sign him.
Buffon to the Premier League?
Stranger things have happened as the goalkeeper prepares to leave Juventus.
Hart out
Joe Hart's sorry decline continues
Rashford over Sterling?
That's what Glenn Hoddle wants to see at the World Cup. Ok then...
"I hope he plays with two up front. I'd love to see Rashford and [Harry] Kane.
"Sterling's done great for his club but 19 games without scoring a goal as your second striker or main striker for England and the positions he picks up there are completely different for City.
"I would look at Rashford and Kane. That would scare the life out of any defence, those two.
"In world football, not many centre-backs are used to playing with two up against them.
"One with pace and one with strength and a bit of guile can do either."
Bernardo dress sense
It has been a source of entertainment for the players all season. This comes from Gabriel Jesus in March.
"I am starting to believe that Silva dresses like that just to **** us off, because it's not possible for someone to wear things like that on purpose.
"I told him: 'You're 23 years old and you wear grandpa's clothes!'. He usually wears a suit to go to the training ground! So we like to tease him a lot."
Ederson rinses Bernardo
Another day, another mickey-taking for Bernardo from Ederson. The poor boy posted a lovely snap about his time in Marrakech...only for Ederson to comment that £50m pound players cannot wear shorts like that!
De Bruyne and Silva
More from that ESPN interview, as Guardiola discusses the difference between Silva and De Bruyne. Silva basically offers cruise control and De Bruyne a wild ride.
"If we had so much success here [Manchester] and in Barcelona that's because of the central midfielders.
"Xavi was a player with outstanding control and dynamic, he couldn't lose the ball. He could control the game rhythm, reading perfectly when to accelerate ... Andres is similar, but always changing the pace. And David Silva is a mixture between both of them. David also knows when to control and when to accelerate.
"And Kevin is exuberant...He is not a controller, he is more dynamic, coming from behind, finishing, crossing, appearing here, then there, defending, attacking...He is a complete player, less control and much more movement. When he stops he is not that effective as Xavi, David and Andres."
Hart's hurt - Robinson
Former England keeper Paul Robinson claims Pep Guardiola's treatment of Joe Hart has left him hurt and short of self-belief.
Hart was immediately displaced as City No1 when Guardiola took charge two years ago - and has just been dealt another blow by being omitted from England's World Cup squad.
"I think he has (lost self-belief)," Robinson told talkSPORT. "I went through that in my career as well.
"I had the same at Tottenham; Juande Ramos came in and had pre-empted ideas about me and he didn't want me around.
"As a goalkeeper you like to feel you're the No1, you like to feel the confidence that that is your role in the team.
"I know Joe is like that, and he had to go out on loan and look for other options, and being left out at Manchester City will have hurt him - without a shadow of a doubt it will have hurt him."
Guardiola discusses his future
Guardiola has carried out an interview with ESPN Brazil, in which he discusses his future.
The site claims he is close to agreeing a 12-month extension to his City contract.
"There is always more," he said. "You may think there isn't ... The players you coach are responsible for new ways of thinking and insights. Sometimes you discover things you previously didn't know, maybe pairing these two players will give you a good midfield movement, something like that.
"When I left Barcelona, I thought that my space to revolutionise was ended, but no. We have seen that there is always a way to do new things, especially because you have different players."
Arsenal Arteta talks?
Sky sources claim Arsenal will speak to Mikel Arteta about becoming Arsene Wenger's successor.
As reported by MEN Sport on Friday - the Londoners have stepped up their interest in Pep Guardiola's assistant and seriously consider him a leading candidate for the job.
Max Allegri remains very much in their thoughts too, and is still the favourite to fill the hot seat.
But Arteta impressive work with Guardiola has put him in contention.

London Streets thronged by thousands converging to BBC Headquarters
LONDON : Thousands of people marched through London on Saturday to protest over austerity and demand Prime Minister Theresa May´s government resign after its disastrous showing in last month´s election.
Demonstrators converged in front of the BBC headquarters in central London to demand an end to belt-tightening that has led to cuts in spending for public services.
Many brandished signs and placards reading: "No More Austerity", "Cuts Cost Lives" and "Tories Out."
After holding a minute´s silence in honour of the victims of a deadly fire in London , which killed at least 80 people, and staging a round of applause for the emergency services, protesters headed towards Parliament Square.
Main opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn took to the stage to blast the Conservatives´ spending programme, describing it as "brutal and selective to the poorest people and the poorest parts of our community".
"The Tories are in retreat, austerity is in retreat, the economic arguments of austerity are in retreat," he added.
The union-backed march was organised a day after the June 14 Grenfell Tower inferno in west London .
An investigation into the fire is under way, but critics blame lax standards and cost-cutting, which they say is a consequence of austerity.
The prime minister, who lost her parliamentary majority in last month´s snap election, narrowly survived a confidence vote on Thursday thanks to the support of Northern Ireland´s small DUP party.
Their deal has been attacked by both Labour and some of May´s own Conservative MPs, in part because the DUP secured an extra billion pounds (1.1 billion euros/$1.3 billion) in state aid for Northern Ireland.
A day earlier, the government had also narrowly voted down a Labour Party amendment to its legislative programme -- known as the Queen´s Speech -- calling for an end to a six-year cap on public sector pay.
Funding for public services -- from the National Health Service (NHS) to police and fire personnel -- has taken an increasingly emotive tone in the UK after the country was struck by three terror attacks, followed by the deadly tower blaze.
Government officials have indicated they may review spending policies, reflecting concern among Conservative MPs about continued austerity.
May´s alliance with the ultra-conservative DUP has also raised concerns across Britain because of the party´s stance on same-sex marriage and abortion.
The DUP´s opposition to same-sex marriage makes Northern Ireland the only part of the UK and Ireland where homosexual marriage is not allowed by law, despite widespread public support.According to a June 2016 survey by pollster Ipsos Mori, 70 percent of adults in Northern Ireland believe homosexual couples should be allowed to marry each other.
Thousands of people descended on Belfast on Saturday to protest the DUP´s stance and demand the law be changed to be in line with the rest of the union.

On the eve of a crucial Champions League encounter away to Olympique Lyonnais, Massimiliano Allegri underlined the need for a watertight display in France as the Bianconeri bid to maintain pole position in Group H.
Here follow the Tuscan tactician's key comments from this afternoon's press conference.
Team news
"From Claudio Marchisio to Giorgio Chiellini, we're missing some key players for the game but every good team should be able to roll with the punches and adapt.
"It was a shame to lose Mario Mandzukic to injury at such a late stage of our preparations but, like Giorgio, we expect him to be available again soon.
"The fact that I've shuffled the pack in the midfield positions so far this season is more a result of selecting the right players for the right occasions rather than a conscious decision to rotate the squad.
"The deep-lying role in front of the defence requires extra attention and in Hernanes and Mario Lemina we have two players who are very capable of doing a job there even if their individual characteristics are different.
"For any given match you have to expect that there will be absentees and changes to be made but, ultimately, all that matters is that the team plays well and returns home with three points. There are no easy fixtures at this level."
Unique Champions League
"Lyon were unfortunate to lose to Sevilla in their last game in the group, while in the league at Nice they fell behind straight from the kick-off and struggled to recover.
"They are an awkaward side to play against, particularly at home, and with the likes of Nabil Fekir and Alexandre Lacazette they have the quality to hurt you if you give them any opportunities to attack.
"They change their system and mentality when they play in front of their own fans and we're expecting a difficult 90 minutes from them.
"We know the pace and penetration they have on the break so, as ever, we will need to be on our guard and to produce a flawless performance to leave here with a win."
Progress in past year
"A lot has changed at the club since losing the final to Barcelona in June 2015. Our progress on the European stage is there for all to see and it's a testament to our growing confidence at this level that finishing top of the group is the minimum requirement expected of us.
"The biggest difference has naturally been the high turnover of players. The club has done an excellent job in keeping the squad extremely competitive and, as you saw in the summer, we were able to add strength and depth in key positions, recruiting some world-class talents."

WINDSOR HEIGHTS, Iowa -- All of the people who spoke out at the public meeting oppose new sidewalks in Windsor Heights.
A survey on the city's website says that nearly 70 percent of the community opposes sidewalks. Despite that documented opposition, the city is moving forward with its walkability plans.
"Our city voted 4-1 to be a walkable community," said Mayor Diana Willits to a packed room full of angry taxpayers that responded to that statement by booing.
The city seemed unprepared to meet the sentiment in the room at the Windsor Heights Community Center, leaving lots of questions unanswered. Zach Young, the principal planner for the Des Moines Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Chairperson for the Walkability Committee, presented the plan to those in attendance, yet he did not have a map with him during his presentation to show those in attendance which streets would have sidewalks added.
Mayor Willits told the crowd that the map is on the city's website, and then she asked someone to run to city hall to go quickly make black and white copies of the map and bring them to the meeting to be distributed.
City officials seemed unfazed by the overwhelming opposition to the plan in the room. "I don`t think it`s anything that we`re really surprised about," said Mayor Diana Willits, after the meeting had concluded. "This is a very divisive topic. There are citizens that are neighbors to people sitting here and they're certainly not going to come out and speak openly that they're a sidewalk supporter."
That was an opinion shared by a couple of the City Council Members as well.
"Whenever you have dissent, you have to listen to the people and we are in a very small community where we interact with each other on a regular basis," said Council Member Zachary Bales-Henry. "However, two of us were elected this past year and two of us did not hide the fact that we were for walkability and had sidewalks in mind. And, there were a lot of individuals that don't have the ability to make it to these meetings. There are working parents. They have to go pick up their children."
"I support walkability in this community and I support complete streets in this community and that's something I ran on," said Council Member Threase Harms. "There`s so many benefits that come from sidewalks, and I would challenge those people who are not supportive of sidewalks in our community or walkability within our community, whether it's bike trails or whatever, that they look and see what the benefits are."
Meanwhile, Cynthia McCall of Del Matro Ave isn't seeing the benefits.
"I don`t think they need them on these side streets. There`s not enough traffic. It`s just not necessary," said McCall.
But, one of McCall's neighbors down the street would like to see residential sidewalks in Windsor Heights.
"I think it would help make our city more walkable, and I think we need to think about the future and the health of our residents and the future of our city, and I think we need a more walkable city," said Sandy Dixon, also of Del Matro Ave.
The next time the plan will come up for discussion is at the city council meeting on July 18.
"July 18 is strictly for ordinance and that is taking all of the information we've received, putting it together, and then creating the council ordinance. Remember, the council hasn't contributed to this ordinance yet. Their job right now is to listen to everybody and then put together a better ordinance that better reflects our citizenry, and then we'll have three readings of that ordinance. So, the 18 meeting is more the council discussion and then an ordinance will be written based on council discussion, and then we'll have three readings before anything goes into effect," said Mayor Willits.
Mayor Willits says a finalized plan could be ready by the end of September.

Foundation Repair – Extending the Life of Your House
A house may require a big money but it is all worth it once the plan has finally been realized. With your huge investment, it is very important to ensure that it is properly maintained. As years pass by, it can't be avoided to make some repairs in any parts of the home. Repairing any damages is essential much more when it concerns the foundation of your home. If you don't give this problem enough attention, then your investment can be slowly destroyed. You will be peaceful knowing that your home foundation is strong.
Repairing foundation is something that a layman is not equipped with, so getting the help of the experts is the best option. These experts know how to properly address the problems with foundations. When your house is not properly insulated and often gets flooded, then your foundation will get cracks and leaks. This problem is an emergency. To make sure that your investment will not be wasted, then call the help of the experts to take action.
A structural and geotechnical engineer is the best foundation repair expert you can get. With this expert, you can be sure that any foundation problem and other related problems will be given the right solution. You can expect these experts to follow the national and local standards while formulating solutions.
When the repair for your foundation is not complicated, then the project may only last for seven days. Take note that the duration will vary depending on the problem severity. If you have bucking walls or sagging floors, then your house value will decrease. With the help of the right experts, you will know that your foundation problems are permanently solved. Before formulating a solution, the contractors will carefully check your home. Some of the services that they can offer are foundation underpinning, mud jacking, basement wall repair, crawl space repair, foundation wall stabilization, foundation wall straightening, foundation wall repair and foundation leveling.
When seeing some signs of foundation problems, do not delay to call the help of the experts. If no immediate action is taken, then the problem can get worse leading to the demolition of the foundation. Foundation problems are something you can avoid especially if your house has been there for several years already. However, you can keep the problem from costing more if you take an immediate action after seeing the first signs.
Remember that a good foundation repair service offers a written warranty. Ask also if the contractor will have follow up visits. The right foundation repair service may cost you a good amount, but this is worth it.

Financing Transportation Networks
David M. Levinson
Chapter 6: Intertemporal Equity
David M. Levinson
INTRODUCTION Local jurisdictions must balance present and future needs against costs when financing infrastructure. When a fixed piece of infrastructure is funded and built by one group, and then a new group comes in and uses it without paying, there is a free-rider problem. When one group comes in and borrows money to build infrastructure, and another group is held liable, there is also a free-rider problem. The extent of the problem depends on site-specific circumstances, the nature of financing, and the placement of the tax burden. This chapter will consider these factors and evaluate suggested solutions. In the past two decades, many localities have levied impact fees to finance new and expanded infrastructure. The fees are designed to be associated with the 'impact' of the development on public services. The impacts include the full gamut of publicly provided services, including roads, sewers, schools, and parks. While development has generally been held responsible for constructing on-site public services, off-site facilities are often addressed by impact payments. Some communities have adopted value capture districts, to tax adjacent development for the benefits associated with new transportation infrastructure (Stopher 1993). Others have implemented stringent growth management regulations tied only weakly to financing (Levinson 1998; Pollakowski and Wachter 1990). The underlying need for taxes on development arises due to the financing mechanisms used to pay for infrastructure. Suppose a community has adopted 'pay-as-you-go' financing and pays outright for a road. When a residential or commercial development comes along, it does not pay the one-time...

While systems programming languages have greatly evolved since the introduction of C more than 40 years ago, our capacity for dumb mistakes with enormous consequences has remained unchanged, with vivid examples regularly in the news. This O'Reilly report examines Rust, a new systems programming language that combines safety and security with performance on a par with C and C++.
Author Jim Blandy from Mozilla explains how Rust achieves this combination via a sophisticated and flexible type system, working together with a novel "borrow checker." Rust promises:
The first two come at no run-time cost: they're checked entirely at compile time. These memory safety guarantees also eliminate data races from multi-threaded programming, making concurrency much easier to use.
With this report, you'll learn how to put Rust's safety, performance, and trustworthy concurrency to use, and you'll understand how the type system and borrow checker affect the way you write your code.

Here's something the procurement profession could do that would have benefits to the UK economy, to governance of quoted companies, to the health of a key supply market, and all at no cost to their own organisations – in fact it would almost certainly save money too.
The dominance of the big four audit firms (KPMG, EY, Deloitte, PWC) has been commented on many times, and has come into sharp focus after criticism of the large firms' performance in cases such as Carillion and BHS. Politicians, clients and regulators all say that they would like to see more competition in the market, which they believe would stimulate better performance form the big players.
Last week, the Times reported that Euan Stirling, global head of stewardship at Standard Life Aberdeen, the huge investment firm, said that he was concerned by the concentration of the audit market. "We see evidence among the accounting firms of commercial interests being put ahead of professional judgment and that causes us concern," he said, which is a pretty strong comment when you think about it.
But the second-tier firms find it very hard to win business – only one of the top 100 FTSE firms is audited by a smaller firm. And in March, Grant Thornton, probably the number 5 firm in the market said this. "… we have taken the strategic decision to move away from tendering for statutory audit work in the FTSE 350, until we see a shift in the competitive landscape that would level the playing field for competing in this market".
Sacha Romanovitch, Grant Thornton CEO told the FT that there "does not seem to be market appetite to change' and that each tender cost the firm some £300K and routinely resulted in "a glorious second place!"
So this is a challenge for procurement people. We're not suggesting that you should all immediately switch out of the big 4 tomorrow, but when you next run a tender for audit services,
- Make the process manageable and less costly so that a range of firms can bid without breaking the bank. There is no reason really why this should be an incredibly costly process – let's face it, much of the auditing work is pretty commoditised these days, and all the firms offer broadly similar approaches and services. There is no need for a super-complex 500 page tender document and six-month-long process.
- Be open to change. Don't make the evaluation criterion so skewed towards the giant firms that no one else has a chance ("please give five references that must be FTSE 100 firms who are current clients …"). Look for innovation, look for good personal fit between the senior people in the firm and your CFO, but don't make the process one which only four firms could possibly win.
It also strikes me that this must be ripe for a bit of information sharing. Why can't we have a central repository of information about the audit firms, with accreditations, all the compliance data, perhaps some client references, service standards and so on, then whenever a client goes to market they could just access this, do a very short tender document based on a few more specific questions, and then an interview?
There must be a suitable solution provider – software firm or consultancy – who could set that up? Save everyone a lot of time and money, and maybe get Grant Thornton thinking again about re-entering that market, and generally stimulating a bit more healthy competition.

All pig producers are invited to enter their innovative ideas and examples of on-farm best practice in this annual EU-wide contest, with up to 300 producers competing to become an EU PiG Ambassador.
EU PiG is looking for entries that tackle one of eight Grand Prix challenges, identified as current priorities by the industry, within the project's key themes of health management, meat quality, animal welfare and precision production.
Winning one of the eight Ambassador titles in the EU PiG Grand Prix gives producers the chance to receive international recognition of their success, share their best practice with other producers, get in touch with other Ambassadors to perhaps find their next big idea and achieve added motivation for farm staff.
EU PiG aims to raise the competitiveness of the European pig industry by connecting producers and sharing tried-and-tested best practice and innovations. When pig producers visit another farm or go on a study tour they almost always learn something valuable from fellow producers, and EU PiG provides another easy and practical way to do this, sharing new knowledge in one place, online.
For full details of the eight challenges for 2018 and how to enter, along with information about last year's winning Ambassadors, producers should go to: https://www.eupig.eu/grand-prix
The eight Grand Prix challenges this year are:
- Managing without zinc oxide
- Optimal vaccination strategies
- Reducing variation before slaughter
- Producing tastier pork
- Loose farrowing systems
- Innovative enrichment
- Reducing emissions
- Sow performance
Friday February 9, 2018/ EU Pig/ European Union.
