text:
The new guidelines were jointly formulated by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), the People's Bank of China and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The NDRC has indicated that it will update and amend currently existing rules to include the guidelines' policies. Other branches of government are expected to follow.
As we reported in previous editions of In Context (see February 2017 and June 2017), the restrictions on outbound investments are driven by the increasing flow of capital out of China, which has further depleted foreign exchange reserves already under pressure by the government's measures to stabilise a depreciating renminbi. The renewed government scrutiny on outbound investment has generally been effective in significantly decreasing Chinese capital outflow; the State Administration for Foreign Exchange (SAFE) reported last week that China's foreign reserves have steadily risen since the beginning of this year, its longest run since 2014. However, the prioritisation of currency stability has come at the price of suppressing genuine Chinese outbound investments. As a result of the stricter controls, the path to regulatory approval has become longer and more uncertain.
The guidelines
The guidelines clarify that the Chinese government will continue to support outbound investments, albeit "in a rational and orderly manner". This means within the limits of the regulatory regime currently in place and in accordance with the commercial rationale and political purpose further set out in the guidelines.
In addition, and most importantly, the guidelines now categorise outbound investments, by target industry or sector, into three distinct groups – "encouraged", "restricted" and "prohibited" – resembling the way in which the Chinese government also classifies inbound foreign investment. The guidelines further provide specific policy considerations with regard to each category. The guidelines do not indicate if outbound investments which do not fall into one of the three categories will be permitted.
The categories and their policy treatment can be summarised as follows:
|Policy treatment
|"Encouraged investments" are to be facilitated through preferential taxation, foreign exchange, insurance, customs and information sharing.
|"Restricted investments" from categories (i) – (iii) require approval by the relevant authorities, which might have to meet higher standards and levels of scrutiny than ordinary government clearance. Investors in "restricted investments" must be given necessary guidance and warnings.
|"Prohibited investments" must be subject to strict management and control.
Assessment and outlook
First and foremost, the policy as now codified in the guidelines reaffirms the existing tightened regulatory regime. This means that qualifying Chinese outbound investments will continue to require the approval of the Chinese authorities. As such, parties to those transactions should still expect the relevant filing and approval processes with agencies, including the local or national branches of the NDRC and MOFCOM, SAFE, and, in the case of a state-owned enterprise, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). For this reason, any party to a Chinese overseas investment would be wise to carefully consider these guidelines and assess how a planned transaction fits in the provided categories. Deal uncertainty and time challenges remain. However, on a more positive note, the guidelines do offer some degree of clarity and, as such, transactions befitting the current agenda, i.e. those falling into the "encouraged" category, might meet a more favourable regulatory climate.

Medical Tune-ups and Priorities
We have spent quite a lot of time in waiting rooms of late, and aren't they just shitful places to be? All that beige and uncomfortable seating and tellies with the sound turned down so that you can still sort of hear it, but you can entertain yourself reading the sub titles which are on a delay and are nearly always grammatically incorrect or filled with spelling errors or are just so bad that they are no longer funny cos you don't know what the fuck it is all supposed to mean.
Today's claustrophobic adventure took us into a windowless cramped space where the tellie news was playing. I know that parochial coverage is permitted, but there surely has to be a limit...There was a bus that clipped a crane and a couple of people were scratched, and then a second story, so banal that I can't even recall what it was and then there was coverage of the bombing in Manhattan NYC. I know it happened yesterday, but I reckon it might still be newsworthy today, ahead of a traffic bingle.
And then we waited. The front of house woman told us that we'd see an 'assistant' first. I asked why and was told that she would take down the history for the doctor, and all I could think was that he must be famous or really fucking lazy. I made it clear that we had hoop-hopped in their place in Southport a year ago and we weren't planning on doing that again. Everyone just wore their Stepford Wives' smiles, and it was like I hadn't spoke.
A year ago we popped into see the eye bloke in Southie and he refused to talk to us... he told the assistant to tell us stuff and when we asked a question he told her to tell us the answer. He was a round obnoxious old little American with perhaps the biggest god complex I have ever seen in a doctor. I told the Stepfords that we were not gonna put up with that shit again. The poor polite Pom did a bit of a crawl up his own bum, cos I verged on rude but sorry I was, that it was only a verge.
But put up with shit we did. We had waited more than a month for the appointment. Stevie wanted to know if what he was using to treat a recurring problem in his 'Shingle Eye' was dangerous and wanted to know what else might be useful, so we waited. Arrived at 10.45 and saw the 'Assistant' - who cares? and then finally got to the doctor a little after 12. They were running so late that the numbing shit that the girlie had slopped into Stevie'e eyes had worn off and the bloke had to shovel in some more.
Now the doctor was fine, he actually spoke to us both and seemed to know his onions, I just don't know why he ran so late, unless there was some sort of con going where by they were billing Medicare for an eye exam whether it was needed or not. It's the only thing that makes any sense to me, and when I asked point blank if Medicare would be bulk billed for the eye exam, no direct answer was forthcoming. Ho fucking hum. Except that this ripping off of the system just makes for a less efficient system for those who are relying on it.
It seems that Medicare will pay for 2 eye exams per year...I thought it was only 1. So it seems that everyone who goes there gets to pop in with the 'Assistant' to read the eye chart and that'll be 40 bucks from the government thank you very much.
Medicine, it's big big business today. And the aging population is just gonna make it even more profitable. But this bloke today could have been working out of a little office with one front of houser. Just the 2 of 'em could have provided the same service, except that perhaps he would have run to time. There were so many staff in this place today that some serious skimming of the system has got to be going on just to make the wages bill.
While we sat there waiting and waiting and waiting some more we chattered about growth industries today. Law, Accounting, IT and Medicine were what we came up with. Of course we have no foundation for our findings, but our qualifications might well be as bankable as those of the 'Assistants' who's bullshit eye testing is costing the Aussie tax payer a fucking fortune. No wonder the Federal Governments always have so much trouble balancing the budget.

Artwork from kids' art program on display at Studios on the Park
December 1, 2017 - Paso Robles Daily News

A cathedral this gorgeous deserves an organ just as amazing:
The Opus XIX is too technical for me to try to describe, but it is well-worth reading about. Its FAQ sheet does it justice. Thanks to a friend of mine, we were able to get up close and personal with this incredible instrument yesterday. After First Friday Mass, we got a tour of the organ, after which Therese and Nicky got to play it. Yes, they got to play an organ so special it has a nationally known name. What an honor and a privilege!

Is it my imagination or do mamas of sons always look slightly more tired than other parents? I don't sign up to gender stereotypes but when I had my 20 week scan and saw (with no doubt!) that there was another boy on the way I wondered whether my 39-year-old body would stand up to the physical demands of TWO little men. A little part of me secretly yearned for a daughter too, how would I cope with being a 'boy mum'?
Being a mother of boys has its challenges but SO many joys. So, what are boys like? Here's what I've learned (disclaimer: this is purely from my own experience with a little bit of science).
1. Boys are unstoppable
When I was pregnant someone told me that boys should be exercised like dogs – i.e. a good run twice a day. Fast forward to 18 months into toddlerhood, and what became my daily ritual of eldest boy banging on the front door to go to the park before I'd swallowed my cereal. This boy is like a springer spaniel after 10 Red Bulls, there is just no tiring him out. Compared with their female friends my boys rise earlier – WAY earlier – and don't stop until they drop (read our article on sleep training if your little one's sleep is interrupted and you need some guidance).
No two children are the same of course, but 10 years down the line and with a six year old now in the mix I can safely say that exercise is key! It's a serotonin and oxytocin thing, apparently.
2. They will pee on your floor
Let's be honest, some MEN don't always manage this so it should come as no surprise that boys don't always have the best aim. As soon as potty training is mastered and your darling son is ready to relieve himself 'big-boy style' it only takes the tiniest distraction – their entire body will follow the sound taking their perfect arc with it. Top tip: Toilet balls are a game-changer.
3. Their private parts fascinate them
I know – shocking. Boys' obsession with willies starts surprisingly early starting with pure wonderment and pride at what lies between their legs. Stage two, which can last several years, is the grabbing stage and it seemingly never gets old. Toddler erections only serve to fuel their favourite pastime. As bewildering as it is, it's arguably the one thing all boys have in common.
4. Boys just ADORE their mummies
Listen up, moms of sons! This I was not expecting. All children love their mums of course, but the way my boys show their love is something else. As a mother of boys I have been showered with heart-melting kisses, marriage proposals and cuddles from my boys for as long as they've known how. Granted, my experience of girls is second hand but if the mummy grapevine is to be believed there is definitely something in it.
5. Toilet humour
Are you detecting a theme here? I don't remember reading about toilet humour as part of child language development but believe me – it's a thing! If I had a pound for the times I've heard 'bum, wee, fart [giggle], bum, wee, fart [giggle]' I would be one rich mama. Girls aren't immune to the hilariousness of bums and willies of course, but for boys it never gets old. Like, NEVER.
6. They like stuff that moves
I was always sceptical about the idea that boys are naturally more drawn to trains and cars and I'm very careful to avoid imposing gender stereotypes. But put them in a room full of toys and my sons would always grab something with wheels. Whether it's watching windscreen wipers or charging a car into a wall boys gravitate towards motion – it's just the way they're built. According to researchers boys are attracted to objects that improve their spatial abilities and long distance navigation skills – something thought to be linked to their traditional role as hunters. Who knew?
Boys are challenging, gross and exhausting and I wouldn't change them for the world.

The world is a big circus.
Both my grandfather and my father are voting a straight Democratic ticket. They never would have done that when they were alive.
The symptoms of religious dementia are heavy in your head. The only way to vote Democrat is to be dead? Seriously? Quick, get back on your meds because you' re not going to survive the coming Trump War that started in full swing Wednesday with the firing of Sessions.
Whoever said "liberals never laugh" was right. It was a joke, son, a joke. Get it?
(Oh, now I remember who said, "liberals never laugh," it was me.)
Ugh…. I wish people would STFU about going to vote. Getting the idiots motivated to go to go vote is what got us into the mess we're in.
If you pick your candidate the same way you pick reality TV stars to support, for the love of all that is holy keep your butt at home.
Obama was the first non white American President. Trump was the second. What do you mean he's white! He wouldn't paint his face orange would he? 😂🤣😉😏🤔🙄😜😱😁👀😅👌😳
There was an old man called Trump,
Whose now feeling down in the dump(s),
He slipped on the grass,
Landed flat on his ass,
Now the House is reduced to a rump.
(for Republicans).
There was once a vote in Congress,
Oh dear, its a bit of a mess,
He lost the House of Representatives,
As a future preventative
There is a lot now, he has to address.
There was once a very old man,
Who fought as hard as he can,
He lost the vote of the ladies,
But shored up the vote of the crazies.
After all, he the Chief of his Klan.
The vote he said was cynch,
He said without even a flinch,
Now he's lost control of the House,
Is he a man or a mouse?
Is there another downtrodden group he can lynch?
This election was such a darn pain,
Points the finger at the sons of Spain,
The sons of Africa as well,
He says can all burn in hell,
He'll re-introduce one man one vote once again. (like 1918).
The "Blue wave" was of course, like everything else the mainstream media peddles, fake news. Nothing out of the ordinary for a first-term-mid-term election happened. In fact it went pretty well – Clinton and Obama each lost over 50 seats in the House. The GOP grip on the Senate is now stronger than before – the RINOs (McCain, Corker, Flake) are gone and the squishy Senators (Murkowski and Collins) are now powerless. It remains to be seen if Senator-elect Romney will be squishy or not.
Lessons learned: Party discipline matters. When your own aren't politically reliable, stuff duzzint get done. Yes, The Donald has been an amazing performer, aside from the tax cuts, he practically turned the economy around single-handed with executive orders rescinding the regulatory handcuffs Obama had locked it into. America is once again #1 – the world's most competitive economy, with record growth, record unemployment, record wage increases, and finally, favorable trade deals. But Clinton's adage, "it's the economy, stupid" no longer applies. Now, it's everything else as well.
The 'leadership' of Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McConnell was dismal. Yes, the Senate did approve a handful of good lower court judges, and 2 great Supreme Court Justices, but not much else. For a whole decade, the GOP failed to address healthcare with a workable alternative to the infamous ACA. For 2 years, the GOP failed to enact immigration reform, pass an infrastructure bill, fix healthcare, enact nationwide CCW reciprocity, fix K-12 education, fix healthcare, audit the Federal Reserve, and fix healthcare.
Did I mention fix healthcare? Congress not only failed the President and the country, it handed the Democrats issue after issue on a silver platter.
The winning party in any election has to do 2 things – first, keep its promises, and second, also make a good-faith effort to keep the promises of its opponents. The worst thing it can do is leave issues unsolved or even unaddressed, lest they come back to bite you as they did this time around.
We will now see history repeat itself. Democrats traditionally misgovern, Republicans traditionally won't govern. We have achieved a possibly desirable level of legislative gridlock. A few quotes come to mind:
"The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter." – Sir Winston Churchill
"Democracy is the pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." – H. L. Mencken
"That government is best which governs least." – Henry David Thoreau

Long story short...ish. I was born in Havana, Cuba. I've been in the the restaurant game for a while. I received my BA in Theatre Set Design from UC Berkeley where I also worked at Chez Panisse restaurant, my true alma mater. Since then, I've opened restaurants from Los Angeles to New York to Austin. My gastronomic endevours extend outside of the kitchen as well.
Living in Austin, TX, I became the Executive Director of the Austin Food Festival's antecedent, The Texas Hill Country Wine and Food Festival. I wrote a cookbook, Our Latin Table, which garnered an invitation to cook Cuban Thanksgiving at the James Beard House. Restaurant consulting, several culinary TV pilots and school children's gardens later fill in the rest of my time.
I am currently writing my second book, "Feast Havana", published by W. W. Norton&Co., about Cuba's entrepreneurial restaurant, bar, and night life scene.

Colombian rebels urge on national soccer team
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — They proclaim Marxism on the battlefield but Colombia's largest rebel group is all nationalism come World Cup time.
In a public letter Wednesday to Colombia's national team and its Argentine coach, Jose Pekerman, negotiators for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia say they hope Colombia's return to soccer's top tournament for the first time since 1998 can help advance peace talks taking place in Cuba for more than 18 months.
The statement posted on the Internet says: "We'll be with the national team in the good times and bad times."
The FARC says soccer's tradition of respect and tolerance can, in its words, "provide moments of delight or entertainment that soothe consciences and contribute to finding the best way on the path toward reconciliation."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

I don't have a direct Valentine's Day connection today, but rather a flannelboard resource that can be used any time of the year.This clever flannel board made from a pocket folder comes from BillyBear4Kids. It's great for car travel, but also a nice way to provide each child in a classroom or storytime with a flannelboard, small and also easy to hand out and store since the pieces fit in the pocket. And, most importantly for me, easy to pack when carrying flannels overseas! The particular elephant flannels in the photo can be found in this older post.

This paper addresses the "open secret" that federal appellate courts often strip their opinions of precedential value as a means to forgo fair, principled and/or thorough adjudication of issues raised in appeals. Is there a basis in contemporary constitutional doctrine for a presumption that appellants suffer constitutional injury when courts dispose of their appeals using non-precedential opinions? The author answers "yes." The argument centers on case law establishing so-called "constitutional prophylactic rules," which work to "overprotect" a given core right—that is, to create a presumption of constitutional injury without proof of it—when such is the only effective way of protecting the core right to any meaningful extent. The author couples this case law with sobering empirical data and entrenched theories of judicial power to argue that a new prophylactic rule forbidding "precedent-stripping" is necessary to ensure that appellate courts do not deny appellants full and fair adjudication of their appeals.

Many franchisees (and franchisors!) and dealers find email, social media and online branding more overwhelming than helpful. Most businesses don't have time to manage their digital marketing presence and therefore the habit of doing enough just to get by seems ok for their business. Eg. The company Facebook page only has posts about special offers while your competitors have daily posts. Local listings: Smartphone users have increased dramatically and therefore an updated local listing helps your potential or current customers find your location quickly and efficiently. Online reviews: Good online reviews are great for business. On the flipside negative reviews can hurt your business and therefore constant replies to comments or reviews whether positive or negative is better rather than no feedback at all. This action indicates to your customers and potential customers that you're listening and you care. Online advertising: It's not enough to have a website you always need to think of a way to distribute the information. This is how Google AdWords campaigns can help grow your business eg targeting people who visited your website but never became customers. Google Analytics: If you're investing a significant amount of your marketing budget on online advertising, how would you know it's actually working? With Google Analytics you can and should track your website traffic. eg. What pages people are looking at? How long they stayed on a product page on your website? E-mail marketing: E-mail marketing is known as the most effective digital marketing channel for customer. But it needs consistency and customization by target group. Being anti-social: One of the main reasons franchisees struggle with effectively managing and growing their social media presence is either being on too many social media sites or too few. In both cases no effective strategy for each platform. Social media: You've hired someone to do this internally but your internal staff also has other responsibilities so keeping up with social media platform features that seem to change on a daily or weekly basis is a no win game.

How Do Not-for-Profits Use Web Developers?
How do not-for-profits use web developers? A not-for-profit is any organization that isn't operated like a company for the financial benefit of its shareholders and investors. This includes colleges and universities and government agencies. It also includes the similarly named, but more narrowly defined, nonprofits. A nonprofit has a specific organizational structure that resembles a company, but that is not allowed to make a profit from its activities.
What you should realize here is the difference between working as a web developer for a for-profit company (whether a web services company, or another type of company) and a not-for-profit. Many not-for-profits have organizational structures very much like companies, and use web developers in the same way.
However, to generalize, a not-for-profit lacks a certain focus and discipline that the need to make a profit imposes on companies of all types. It's a prejudice, but a prejudice with truth in it, that everything moves more slowly in the not-for-profit world. There simply isn't the same fear of quickly losing market share, with the possibility of going out of business, that drives for-profit companies.
What does this mean for web developers planning their careers? Not much that's good. A slow pace, a lack of focus, or a lack of discipline, is slow poison to a web developer of any kind.
There are not-for-profits that work with the latest technologies. In a college or university environment, you might be an early recipient of a new technological breakthrough in some critical web technology. But these situations are the exception rather than the rule.
And there are not-for-profits where you can do good or interesting work. What you want to avoid is getting captured by the gravity of the not-for-profit world. If you're not careful, you can easily end up with skills, knowledge, experience, and connections that will suit you well for moving between one not-for-profit and another, but that don't allow you to move back into the larger, more lucrative, and more exciting for-profit world when you're ready to do that.
Following is a brief summary of the pros and cons of working for a not-for-profit organization. Use it to help chart your course.
Pros: It feels great to do work you believe in with people who are not always chasing the almighty dollar (or British pounds, or euros, or remnibi). The good feeling of working in organizations with strongly positive purposes may outweigh any negatives that many not-for-profits carry with them.
Cons: Pay on the low side, demands on the high side. Less awareness of, and less willingness to use, complex technologies. Progress in the use of new technologies can move very slowly, and then just completely stop.
Salary: Usually low to medium. Not a lot of travel or perks.
Benefits: If you stay for a long time, there may be retirement and other benefits that make this a worthwhile path to consider for your overall lifestyle.
Career path: You can build a worthwhile career in not-for-profits, but consider working out of a web services company, or moving back and forth to the business world, to avoid becoming stuck in not-for-profit world.

Herbaceous vegetation restoration potential and soil physical condition in a mountain grazing land of Eastern Tigray, Ethiopia
AbstractAn existence of information in the form database and full knowledge of grazing land vegetation resources and trend over time is essential for management decisions. This study was conducted in Kiltew -Awelaelo, eastern Tigray, Ethiopia. The study aimed to investigate species composition and diversity of the herbaceous vegetation, and examine the physical soil condition of the grazing lands. A total of 45 quadrats measuring 20m×20m (400m2) were laid out in 15 sample sites from three corresponding land use types (i.e. ten year enclosure, five year enclosure and open grazing land). From each land use type five sites having three quadrats were investigated. Each quadrat was laid out at an interval of 400m in five parallel transects each 200m apart from other. To collect data of herbaceous and soil five randomly located 1m2 area each, was selected and marked, within each 400m2 sample quadrat of sample sites located along the main transect. There was significant (P<0.05) difference for soil erosion and compaction between the land use types, high degree of soil erosion and compaction exhibited in the open gazing land use. The study was also evidenced that significance (P<0.05) variation between land use type in grass species composition, basal cover, age category, and herbaceous richness. More or less relatively higher mean value for all these parameters were recorded in the ten year enclosure land use type and intermediate value scored by five year enclosure followed by the open grazing land use. A total of 23 species of grasses and 53 none-grass species were recorded and very few grasses occurred in open grazing land use type. Whereas in the two enclosure land use types important grasses such as Bracharia sp., Bromus pectinatus, Chloris gayana, Cenchurs cilarias, chloris radiata, Cynodon dactylon, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Digitaria Velutina, Eragrostis teniufolia, Lintonia nutans, Setaria pumila, Seteria verticillate, and Tragus racemosus all occurred frequently forming the major constituents of the sites. Therefore, regeneration from area enclosure can be on advocated practice for grazing lands rehabilitation.

You can take an Onsen home?! "Myoban Yunosato"
The hot spring (onsen) in the Japanese town of Beppu known as "Myoban Yunosato" (Alum Water Village), manufactures the bath product "Yunohana" (Hot Water Flower), which is a famil…
"Hyotan Onsen" is a bathing hot spring (onsen) that is truly representative of Beppu, Japan, which has won the highest rank of 3 stars from the Michelin Tour Guide ranking.
At the variety rich Hyotan Onsen you can enjoy a wide range of hot springs. You can slowly bathe in outdoor baths, rock baths, Hinoki baths, as well as hot spring steam steaming rooms, and a bath in which water flows from above like a waterfall. Being able to enjoy this wide variety of hot springs in one place, even within Japan, is quite rare.
Hyotan Onsen has alkaline waters. If you first bathe in the nearby Myoban Yunosato Onsen, its acidic waters clean the sebum and dirt from the skin, meaning that if you then bathe at Hyotan Onsen, the moisturizing ingredients of its alkaline waters are able to better penetrate the skin, assisting in the smoothing and purification of skin. By all means give the combination of Myoban Yunosato and Hyotan Onsen a go!
You can enjoy cooking using hot spring steam, and especially recommended is Tempura Chicken-'Toriten'. When steamed before being fried, Toriten is exquisite.
If you answer some easy questions, the information of Onsens that suit
you the most will be sent by an email.
You can also ask local guides to show around, so feel free to take a test!

Everton have recruited such a lengthy ex Wigan contingent in the last week or so that Finch Farm's locker room will soon resemble a 'Swindon lot' Brent style scenario. Presumably Alan Stubbs role this week will be to take Roberto, Arouna and the lads down to the Eagle and Child in Halewood for a swift half of Cains at lunch. The latest duo to make the short treck down the East Lancs road are Antolin Alcaraz and more recently Joel Robles who has joined via his parent club Atletico Madrid. What do the new boys bring to the table then? Lets answer some of the most pertinent questions….
What capabilities does Alcaraz bring to the party?
Antolin Alcaraz is a vastly experienced 30 year old right footed centre half who can also be deployed at right back at a push. He is composed on the ball and has a very good reading of the game with good anticipation to step out of defence and win the ball from the opposition. This ability to read the game and intercept play is arguably his greatest attribute. The below video footage during his time in the Portuguese top flight provides a decent synopsis of his key attributes…
What does Alcaraz offer that our other centre backs don't? Is he better than what we currently have?
His experience playing across Europe and Latin America would make him our most experienced defender even allowing for Distin's seniority in years. Looking at the data, Alcaraz is certainly a different type of player to Distin and Jagielka, with his skillset more comparable to Heitinga, the man he is likely to replace in the squad. On the ball, his pass completion (84%) is comfortably better than both Jags and Distin, whilst his average pass length (20m) is indicative of a shorter style than Jagielka (27m) and Distin (24m).
As noted, interceptions are his greatest attribute with his figures comfortably better than our current roster; in 11/12 he was ranked 3rd in the top flight for interceptions made by a centre half and 8th in 12/13. For a side like Wigan who look to win the ball pack in their own half rather than us who win it in the opposition half, this attribute to regain possession and start counter attacks from the back is crucial.
His figures in terms of clearances is way down on Jags/Distin, although this is perhaps more down to Wigan's style of playing out of danger and the fact that under Moyes we played a very high line meaning opposition counters and clearances from our backline were more likely.
How has Martinez used Alcaraz in the past?
Martinez has used him in a back three and back four in his two years at the club. Given Wigan like to sit deep and play often sterile rest in possession play in their own half, Alcaraz ability to pass and his lack of searing pace have been ideally suited to the gameplan. In a back three he will look to push up and intercept play, leaving the aerial donkey work to resident yard dog Caldwell in the centre of the three. He's shown his flexibility in moving between positions, playing predominantly in his best position on the right of centre, but also on the left and in the centre of the 3. The ability to move positionally will be crucial, if not this season but certainly next when Martinez will have been able to put his stamp on the side. The Spaniard's back three 3-4-3 system can often morph into a 4-3-3, 4-1-4-1 and even a 2-5-3 -often during the game – and Alcarez has shown he is more than capable of re-positioning with relative ease to suit the system.
Like Kone, he's just been relegated. Was Alcaraz culpable in their shambolic defence? What weaknesses does he have?
The stats would say that this wasn't the case. Wigan conceded 135 goals in 76 games over the past two years, with 49 during the 35 games with Alcaraz and 86 in the 41 without him, that's 1.4 with him, and 2.0 without him, which is a fair difference. If you track the key games the Latics won in the last 2 years, the wins at Anfield, the Emirates, the win over Man Utd which kept them up last season and the key cup wins against us and City, Alcaraz has been an ever present with clean sheets in most of those games.
There are other areas which opposition managers could look to exploit however. His temperament is iffy at best, with the spitting ban and a red card for trying to dry slap the vile sub human Lucas Leiva in the Copa America in recent years arguably the behaviour of a human time bomb. His career games to cards frequency of 1 card every 5 games isn't massively prolific but is something to keep an eye on, and it does raise the issue that he has missed more games than he has been available for in recent seasons, in part due to his lengthy spell on the sidelines last season with a groin injury and the ban he received in 11/12 although in fairness his injury record over his career is ok with no serious spells on the sidelines prior to this.
In 1 v 1 situations there is also a slight question mark; last season he was dribbled past more than treble the times either Jagielka and Distin were bypassed and in 11/12 he was dribbled past more per game than any centre back in the league. Unlike fist pumping phony Heitinga however, Alcaraz teeth do bite and its unlikely you would see the Paraguayan beasted like JH was against Benteke at L4 last season.
In terms of Robles , how does he fit in?
The purchase of Robles should bring good competition for Howard and his skillset gives us different options between the sticks. Standing at 6ft.5inches (195cm to Howard's 187cm), Robles has an enviable reach comparable with Stoke City's towering stopper Begovic, and would give us more of a threat in the air, something we struggled this season conceded the 2nd most headed goals in the division. He is also very good at getting down quickly and recovering to make saves with either his hands or his feet.
Robles has already shown in some of the big games that he has the temperament to succeed and has seamlessly made the transition from playing on loan at Vallecano in la liga to the more aerial bombardment of the English game. He also has experience playing for his country from U16-U23 level.
Although his short and long range kicking completion was inferior to Howard last season – as was unsurprisingly his clean sheet record – Robles on a five year deal is one for the future, and his exciting combination of distribution and physical presence could make him a big player in years to come if not this season. The only visible flaw based on his time at Wigan was organising his defence, but given what was in front of him last season its hard to apportion blame. The fact he only had a year left on his deal means it's unlikely there was much of a transfer fee involved in the purchase which is also a plus.
Neither player is perhaps going to accrue us significant points this season to kick on but both are good, low cost additions to the squad who will provide more serious competition than either Heitinga or Mucha – the duo they have been brought in to replace – had to offer.
With thanks to @Matt_Cheetham for some useful stats

Sirloin with bearnaise
Photo by Annabel Langbein Media
Always ensure you take your steak out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you plan to cook it so that it can come up to room temperature and bloom (regain its bright red colour).
For the steaks
For the bearnaise sauce
- To make the bearnaise sauce, place the shallots or onion, vinegar and tarragon in a small pot and simmer until the liquid is reduced to 1 Tbsp. Transfer to a food processor, straining out shallot and tarragon if you prefer a smoother sauce.
- Add egg yolks and whizz until smooth. Place butter in the pot you cooked the vinegar in and heat until melted, hot and bubbling without browning. With the motor running, add the hot butter to the food processor in a slow stream, blending to form a smooth sauce. Season to taste and use within an hour.
- Allow steak to come to room temperature. Heat a heavy-based frying pan or barbecue grill until very hot. Season steak generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 tsp butter on each steak and flip over into hot pan butter-side down. Fry over a medium-high heat until done to your liking (for rare steaks allow about 1½ minutes per side, for medium-rare allow about 2½ minutes per side and for well-done allow 4 minutes per side).
- Remove steaks from pan and allow to rest for 1-2 minutes before serving on warmed plates topped with bearnaise sauce.

So far, Fight has been incredible as we have looked at the battles every man (and woman) fight to live the life God created them to live. If you missed either of the first two weeks, you can listen to them here and here.
This week, we will be looking at the the one question every man (and woman) must answer.
In Judges 14:11 – 15:20 (which you can look at if you want to read ahead), we see what drives Samson. All of us, whether we realize it or not, are driven by something. It might be a past memory or hurt, it might be a parent we want to please or be better than, it might be a spouse we want to make happy, it might be kids or a teacher we want to be proud of us. For many, it is their emotions that drive their decisions, habits, relationships and how they spend their money and time.
If we aren't careful, we allow the wrong things to drive us.
Here's one way to know:
When you look at your life and don't like where something is? It might be your finances, school, career, a relationship, weight or your whole life. In that moment, if something is not where you think it should be, you have answered the one question incorrectly. You have allowed something other than Jesus to drive your life.
But it isn't too late!
If you or someone you know struggles with answering this one question incorrectly, this is a great week to bring them to Revolution.
(I also have a really exciting announcement about the future of Revolution Church and Planet Rev, our kids ministry, that you don't want to miss!)
Remember, we meet at 10am on Sunday mornings at 8300 E Speedway Blvd.

And another premiere on my lil' blog! Wine from the Canary Islands. More precise from Tenerife. This one isn't my first wine from Tenerife. This very basic entry level white one has been produced from grapes of the classical Fino and Manzanilla varietal Palomino – or be a bit more precise – again, Listan Blanco which is the common name for Palomino on the Canary Islands. These Palomino grapes were cultivated on predominately volcanicsoils of D.O.P. Tacoronte-Acentejo northern solpes. I guess, I haven't had too many dry Palomino wines in my life. So probably another premiere! Not sure about that, though!? Let's keep it concise and crisp (hopefully)... and have a good long slurp!
6:24 pm (just opened)
Colour: actually not too pale, clear sliver'ish golden reflexes plus a small amout of tiny particles
Nose: already rather communicative; red apples (maybe a bit mashed), a trace of cinnamon, possible indications of old large oak barrels – possible ones, very mild and not all too clear herbal touch, maybe even some "firey" chacracteristics of the mentioned volcanic soil; so far a lean, fruity, easy and unspectacular nose
Taste: rather fruitful indeed; red apples (plus stems), some pink grapfruit and a hint of rosewater, the relatively short finish seems a bit more influenced by diffuse tart herbs, obvious indications for slight (probably intended) oxidation; so far not all too cunningly subtle, mentionable (I should have known that before) or inspirational, buuut for all that still nicely enjoyable and really easy to drink – not too crisp I am afraid, the acid seems pretty digestable
7:42 pm
Nose: more or less same similar, some hints of powdery detergents
Taste: same here, some more indications of increasing oxidation (surprise!), getting a bit lamer and even shorter – I am afraid, today's choice wasn't the best, anyway still an easy and enjoying wine
9:09 pm Sorry, pretty boring this time! Not really the best choice. Dullness is prevailing I am afraid. Anyway, still - by a margine - a so la-la *** wine, cause there is not so much to complain about. It is just a simple, though well produced, pretty clean, surely not multifaceted rather dry white'y. The steamed mussels I had a few minutes ago are matching quite well. Would not keep it for too long ...

Brewers lose 4-1 to Pirates, skid at 6 at MIller Park
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson lost the game and his manager lost the argument in the fourth inning.
Sean Rodriguez hit a home run and a two-run single, Andrew McCutchen went deep and rookie Chad Kuhl pitched six strong innings and the Milwaukee Brewers lost 4-1 to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night.
Nelson couldn't stop the Pirates from winning their sixth straight at Miller Park, and sixth of seven overall to improve to 76-75. Pittsburgh began the day 4 1/2 games behind San Francisco for the second NL wild card spot. The Pirates also have to hurdle the St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins, too.
McCutchen helped the Pirates jump out to an early lead for the second consecutive game. He crushed a 2-2 pitch that just slipped by the left-field foul pole for his 24th home run. Tuesday, he hit a two-run double in the first.
"I thought it was going foul, but it didn't," Nelson said. "It was a good fast ball down and away. It ran up and in. I was impressed that he got to it. He did a good job of squaring up on a mistake right there."
Rodriguez's two-run single finished the scoring in the first off Nelson (8-15) and extended his hitting streak to 10 games. Rodriguez victimized Nelson again when he hit his 18th home run of the season in the fourth.
"He just didn't make pitches," Counsell said. "He lost his command a little bit. The big thing was the walk to Cervelli and falling behind to Rodriguez, that's what ended up hurting him. That's what ends up costing you the game.
It's been a puzzling season for Nelson.
He was 5-3 in his first 11 starts, but the loss to Pittsburgh dropped his record to 3-12 in his last 20 starts. He put his team in a 3-0 hole in the first and then labored through the next four innings before being pulled for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the fifth.
Counsell was ejected by home plate umpire Jerry Lane with two out in the top of the fourth inning.
Adam Frazier had just fouled off a pitch from Nelson that bounced over his foot, out of the box and carried to first baseman Christ Carter who stepped on the bag for the apparent third out. Frazier looked puzzled and stayed put at the plate, but when the Brewers started off the field, Lane signaled foul ball.
Counsell came out to argue with Lane.
"Overall, what upset me was he just missed the call," Counsell said. "I felt like he changed his call. More than anything, I felt like he changed his call."
Second baseman Scooter Gennett noticed the hesitation in Lane's call.
"Usually when a guy fouls a ball off his foot, the guy says it right away," Gennett said. "He (Lane) kind of waited for the whole play to develop and then called it foul."
Counsell finished and walked back toward the dugout, but then turned back for some final thoughts. Lane and Counsell became animated in their discussion before Lane ejected Counsell. First base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt ushered Counsell to the dugout.
Kuhl (5-3) pitched two-hit ball through the fourth before the Brewers manufactured a run on Jonathan Villar's two-out single in the fifth. Kuhl struck out six and walked one in his second career start against the Brewers.
The win was much better result than the last time he faced the Brewers.
Pirates: LF Starling Marte missed his 16th consecutive game with low back discomfort, but pinch hit in the eighth and took a called third strike. He went through another full workout and the club anticipates his return to the field in the near future.
Brewers: LF Ryan Braun missed his second consecutive game to be with his wife, Larisa, and their new son, Greyson Joseph. Manager Craig Counsell said that it was possible Braun may be back Thursday for the last of the three-game series with the Pirates. . RHP Taylor Jungmann (0-4, 8.34 ERA) makes his first start since April 28 against the Chicago Cubs when he faces Cincinnati on Saturday. He made the Opening Day roster, but then struggled mightily in his first five starts that he was demoted. Jungmann hasn't allowed a run in 10 appearances since being recalled from Double-A Biloxi on Sept. 6.
Pirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (3-5, 4.87 ERA) makes his 10th start since being reinstated from the disabled list (facial fractures) on Aug. 4. He is unbeaten in his last four starts against the Brewers, including a 5-3 decision this Aug. 26 at Miller Park.
Brewers: RHP Chase Anderson (8-11, 4.47) makes his fifth start against the Pirates this season. He is 2-1 with a 2.33 ERA in the four previous outings.
