Not Informed, who described themselves as Original rockers from Taft Avenue, will release their controversial single " Sige Na" this March 16, 2018, on MYX Philippines.
New Song " Sige Na" (Sayang ka) speaks of New Generation of Women addicted to the social media lifestyle, and women who tend to focus on their superficial looks and their attractiveness to get what they want. Some women get men hooked on their attractiveness and materialistic lifestyle, and innocent young men fall as helpless prey.
The band vocalist Junno Panis wants to get things in perspective and wants to offer music and lyrics that speak to the current times. The song " Sige Na" offers a new way of looking at things, and the simple but straight to the point lyrics will make the listener reflect on the message.
" Sige Na" is simple yet goes straight to the point, and stresses on how we can uncomplicate life. There are so many fantastic things we could be celebrating right now, and there is no need to get hooked on the material- life can be lived without the stress and the fuss. If men and women can learn to embrace who they are and just let their guard down and just celebrate life, then true beauty would be experienced. Not Informed gives you a much- needed break from it all. From the " instagrammable" life and materialistic way of living and portraying our lives on the internet.
While looks are important and the technological world we are living in right now offers different ways to create a new reality for women who put in their selfies online for men to see. It does not necessarily speak about the truth. The songwriter Junno Panis wrote from experience and recorded, mixed and mastered "Sige Na" at the Tower of Doom. The band collaborated with Ardy Clavio of 25th Media Productions for the music video.
The band Not Informed is reminiscent of feel-good OPM rock bands that dominated the 90's, the band infused the modern elements of lyrics creation and infused it with nostalgic musical beats. Listening to the band makes you happy, and reminds you of a time where everything was simple.
Not Informed is willing to explore, and feel through their way in the music industry. In the end, it's about realizing that music is a real part of your life. The group continued to reinvent their band, their style, and their music and each year they kept on improving. From the EP ' Our Time" to the latest single " Sige Na" the band is steadfast on improving their craft as they go.
Their previous albums have amassed a steady following over the years, as a loyal group of fans continues to watch their music grow. Not Informed gives you the familiar feels- and just gives you a reason to take a break while listening to feel good music.
" Sige Na", will have its debut on MYX Philippines on March 16, 2018, under Warner Philippines. The song is already Watch out for the song on Jam 88.3 and its official release on Spotify, Youtube, and iTunes on March 16.

Who do you like in the NCAA tournament? I always pick Gonzaga. Hey, it almost worked last year! In honor of March Madness, my editor tossed me an idea: What was the best postseason upset ever for all 30 major league teams?
Big mistake there, Dan, because this sucker is going to run a few thousand words -- but it's worth it. Bonus: I not only picked an upset for each team but ranked the upsets in order from No. 30 (least impressive) to No. 1 (the NC State beating Phi Slamma Jamma of the baseball postseason). Enjoy!
30. Colorado Rockies: Beat Phillies in 2007 NLDS
The Rockies have made the playoffs four times in franchise history and have won just two playoff series, both in 2007, the year of the famous Rocktober run to the World Series. They went 13-1 over their final 14 games, beat the Padres in a tiebreaker to win the wild card and then swept both the NLDS and NLCS -- a remarkable 21-1 stretch. Really, the upset was just getting to the postseason in the first place. The 2007 National League playoff teams were probably the weakest group ever. The Diamondbacks had the best record at 90-72 but had a negative run differential. The Rockies finished 90-73 and had the best run differential. The Phillies won 89 games, and the Cubs took the Central with just 85 wins. So this wasn't really much of an upset.
Key moment/game: Kaz Matsui hits a two-out grand slam off Kyle Lohse in the fourth inning of Game 2 to give the Rockies a 6-3 lead.
29. Milwaukee Brewers: Beat Angels in 1982 ALCS
The Rockies have four playoff trips in 25 seasons, but the Brewers have just four over 49 seasons -- a history of misery that tends to get overlooked. The 1982 team -- affectionately known as Harvey's Wallbangers for manager Harvey Kuenn and his team of sluggers -- was the best in franchise history. This qualifies as an upset only because the Angels won the first two games before the Brewers took the final three at home.
Key moment/game: Down 3-2 in the seventh inning of Game 5, Cecil Cooper hits a two-out, two-run single off Luis Sanchez to give the Brewers a 4-3 lead.
28. Montreal Expos: Beat Phillies in 1981 NLDS
The Nationals have lost all four of their playoff series, so we have to go back to the goofy split-season year of 1981 and the lone playoff appearance -- and victory -- from the franchise's Montreal days. The Expos were the better team, although the Phillies were the defending World Series champ.
Key moment/game: The great Steve Rogers spun a six-hit shutout to beat Steve Carlton 3-0 in the decisive Game 5.
27. Toronto Blue Jays: Beat Braves in 1992 World Series
We'll label the first of the Jays' back-to-back World Series a minor upset. The Jays had gone 96-66, the Braves 98-64 (although with a seven-game edge in Pythagorean record). In an overlooked World Series -- four of the six games were decided by one run -- the Jays won the finale in 11 innings.
Key moment/game: Dave Winfield's two-out double scored two runs in the top of the 11th; the Braves scored one run before Mike Timlin got the final out when Otis Nixon tried to bunt for a hit.
26. Texas Rangers: Beat Yankees in 2010 ALCS
Led by MVP Josh Hamilton, the Rangers were in the playoffs for the first time since 1999. They were a 90-72 team with a plus-100 run differential, while the Yankees had gone 95-67 and plus-166. Hamilton hit .350 with four home runs, eight walks and seven RBIs as the Rangers won in six games.
Key moment/game: Bengie Molina hits a three-run homer off A.J. Burnett in Game 4 to give the Rangers a 5-3 lead in the sixth inning. They go on to a 10-3 win to take a 3-1 series lead.
25. Chicago Cubs: Beat Cardinals in 2015 NLDS
The 2016 World Series title might have been a curse-breaking miracle, but it wasn't an upset. The year before, the Cubs improved from 73 wins to 97 and then beat their 100-win rivals in the division series. Though the Mets then swept them in the NLCS, beating the Cardinals set the stage for 2016.
Key moment/game: The Cubs pound six home runs in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead.
24. Los Angeles Angels: Beat Yankees in 2002 ALDS
The 2002 Angels won 99 games, but this felt like a fairly monumental upset at the time. The Yankees had won four straight AL pennants, had gone 56-22 in the postseason since 1996 and had won 103 games in 2002. The Angels, in the playoffs for the first time since 1986, wiped them out in four games, hitting .376 in the series.
Key moment/game: The Angels score three runs in the eighth for a 9-6 victory in Game 3. Tim Salmon hits a two-run homer off Steve Karsay for the clinching blow. The Angels go on to win their only World Series.
23. Arizona Diamondbacks: Beat Yankees in 2001 World Series
Maybe the Angels should thank Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson, who put a dent in the Yankees' seemingly invincible armor the year before with their World Series victory. Remember, the 116-win Mariners appeared destined for immortality before the 95-win Yankees upset them in the ALCS. The Diamondbacks won 92 games but relied on their two horses in the postseason.
Key moment/game: Luis Gonzalez's blooper off Mariano Rivera capped the two-run rally to prevent the Yankees from a fourth straight World Series, but don't forget Mark Grace got the rally started with a leadoff single.
22. Oakland Athletics: Beat Dodgers in 1974 World Series
The A's have won nine World Series going back to their Philadelphia days, although none really meets the standards of a major upset. This one did feature a significant win differential as the A's had won 90 games to the Dodgers' 102. The A's had significantly underperformed their Pythagorean record (97-65) and, oh, were also the two-time defending champs. They made it three in a row with a five-game victory.
Key moment/game: Ken Holtzman homers and throws 7⅔ strong innings to win Game 4.
21. New York Yankees: Beat Braves in 1996 World Series
Before the dynasty, there was the plucky 1996 Yankees, a mix of young stars on the rise -- Derek Jeter was a rookie while Mariano Rivera had his breakout season in the bullpen -- and past-their-prime vets like Wade Boggs, Cecil Fielder and Tim Raines. Ex-Mets Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry were around as well, 10 years past their 1986 glory days. This motley crew in Joe Torre's first season finished 92-70 and then beat the 96-66 Braves in the World Series.
Key moment/game: Mark Wohlers, meet Jim Leyritz.
20. Baltimore Orioles: Beat Dodgers in 1966 World Series
When they were the St. Louis Browns, this franchise was the biggest joke in baseball. After the move to Baltimore in 1954, it would eventually become the preeminent franchise in the American League for a two-decade stretch, with just one losing season between 1963 and 1985. This was Baltimore's first trip to the World Series, and the Orioles swept the Sandy Koufax-Don Drysdale Dodgers in stunning fashion, throwing shutouts the final three games. Baltimore's three starters were 23-year-old Dave McNally, 21-year-old Wally Bunker and 20-year-old Jim Palmer.
Key moment/game: Palmer beats Koufax 6-0 in Game 2 as Dodgers center fielder Willie Davis commits three errors in the fifth inning (he dropped two fly balls in the sun and made a throwing error) as the O's take a 3-0 lead.
19. Seattle Mariners: Beat Yankees in 1995 ALDS
The Yankees were in the postseason for the first time since 1981. The Mariners were in for the first time ever, after beating the Angels in a West Division tiebreaker. That meant ace Randy Johnson wouldn't be ready until Game 3. The Mariners lost the first two at Yankee Stadium, Johnson won Game 3, Edgar Martinez broke a 6-6 tie in Game 4 with a home run off closer John Wetteland and then played hero once again in Game 5.
Key moment/game: With Johnson on in relief, the Yankees score in the top of the 11th, but Martinez's two-run double off Jack McDowell scores Ken Griffey Jr. from first base for the walk-off win.
18. Detroit Tigers: Beat Cubs in 1935 World Series
A blast from the past as the 93-win Tigers beat the 100-win Cubs in six games. It was the first World Series victory for Detroit, which had lost in 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1934. Six weeks after the win, longtime owner Frank Navin suffered a heart attack while riding a horse and died.
Key moment/game: Tommy Bridges tosses a complete game in the clincher and Goose Goslin's single plates player/manager Mickey Cochrane with the walk-off victory.
17. Cleveland Indians: Beat Yankees in 1997 ALDS
The Indians made the playoffs five straight years in the 1990s, but not all of those teams were powerhouses. This edition finished just 86-75 with a plus-53 run differential (nobody else in the AL Central finished above .500). The Yankees went 96-66 with a plus-203 run differential. Of course, any team with Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez, David Justice and Matt Williams in the lineup is capable of an upset. Heck, even Sandy Alomar hit .324/.354/.545 that year.
Key moment/game: Alomar ties up Game 4 in the eighth inning with a home run off Mariano Rivera, and Omar Vizquel's game-winning hit in the ninth bounces off Ramiro Mendoza and past Derek Jeter to score Marquis Grissom from second base.
16. Tampa Bay Rays: Beat Red Sox in 2008 ALCS
An upset? Maybe not. After all, the Rays had won the division with 97 wins while the Red Sox had won 95. Still, these were the Rays -- known as the Devil Rays prior to 2008 -- and they'd lost 96 games in 2007. And 101 in 2006. And so on. It was a fun little ride to the postseason, but no way would they beat the defending World Series champs with the pressure on. They beat them in seven games.
Key moment/game: Rookie David Price, with 14 innings of big league experience, came on in the bottom of the eighth of Game 7 with a 3-1 lead, the bases loaded and two outs. He fanned J.D. Drew and then finished it off for his first major league save.
15. Houston Astros: Beat Cardinals in 2005 NLCS
Behind Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio, the Astros had some powerhouse teams in the late 1990s and 2000s. This actually wasn't one of them. Bagwell missed most of the year, Biggio was in decline and they won just 89 games. The Cardinals had won 100 games for the second season in a row. The Astros, however, had an imposing trio of starters -- Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and Roy Oswalt -- who each finished with a sub-3.00 ERA (Clemens was at 1.87). Everyone remembers the Albert Pujols home run to win Game 5, but Houston won the series in six games.
Key moment/game: Oswalt allows one run and three hits over seven innings to win Game 6.
14. Pittsburgh Pirates: Beat Yankees in 1960 World Series
This seems like a bigger upset than it actually was, in part because the Yankees won games by scores of 16-3, 10-0 and 12-0. The Pirates finished 95-59, while the Yankees finished 97-57 and the Pirates actually had the better run differential. Still, these were the Yankees of Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford, and the Pirates, perennial losers for most of the 1950s, had won their first pennant since 1927. The defeat would cost Casey Stengel his job as Yankees manager.
Key moment/game: Bill Mazeroski wins the dramatic Game 7 with a walk-off home run to give the Pirates the 10-9 win in maybe the greatest game ever played.
13. St. Louis Cardinals: Beat Phillies in 2011 NLDS
The 2006 World Series champs won only 83 games, so you could go with their NLCS win against the 97-win Mets or their World Series win over the 95-win Tigers, but I'll go with this shocker over the Phillies. The Phillies were a 102-win juggernaut featuring one of the best rotations of all time. The Cardinals had won 90 games, making the playoffs only on the season's final day.
Key moment/game: Chris Carpenter beats Roy Halladay 1-0 in Game 5 with a three-hit complete game. The Cardinals end up winning the World Series.
12. Florida Marlins: Beat Yankees in 2003 World Series
The Marlins have never finished in first place and yet have two World Series titles -- they've never lost a postseason series. Baseball is weird and unfair and joyous and awful. Which was the bigger upset? The 92-win 1997 Marlins beating the 101-win Braves in the NLCS or the 91-win 2003 Marlins beating the 101-win Yankees in the World Series? We'll give the edge to the World Series upset.
Key moment/game: The Marlins win Game 4 on Alex Gonzalez's walk-off home run in the 12th off Jeff Weaver -- Mariano Rivera never got in the game -- but this World Series is remembered for Josh Beckett's five-hit shutout in Game 6 on three days' rest.
11. Philadelphia Phillies: Beat Braves in 1993 NLCS
The '93 Phillies were a hard-livin', fun-lovin' group of crazies. For one year, they were a legitimately great team -- 1993 was the franchise's only winning season between 1987 and 2000 -- but nobody expected them to beat the 104-win Braves in the NLCS. The Braves, perhaps wiped out by a grueling division race with the Giants, took two of the first three games before the Phillies won the final three.
Key moment/game: In Game 5, the Phillies led 3-0 behind Curt Schilling heading to the bottom of the ninth. After a walk and error, Mitch Williams came in, and next thing you know, the game is tied. Call it foreshadowing. Lenny Dykstra rescues the day, however, with a home run off Mark Wohlers in the 10th inning.
10. San Diego Padres: Beat Braves in 1998 NLCS
The Padres won 98 games, although with a 93-69 Pythagorean record, then beat the 102-win Astros in the NLDS and the 106-win Braves in the NLCS. Along the way, they beat Randy Johnson twice, Tom Glavine twice and Greg Maddux once, before losing to the Yankees in the World Series. This was probably the greatest of all those Braves teams of this era, as they had five starters win 16-plus games and four sluggers with 30-plus home runs. They outscored their opponents by 245 runs. Then they ran into Sterling Hitchcock.
Key moment/game: Hitchcock beat Maddux in Game 3, and then Glavine in Game 6 (with five scoreless innings).
9. Cincinnati Reds: Beat A's in 1990 World Series
It was the Nasty Boys versus the Bash Brothers, the ultimate showdown of power versus power. The A's were heavy favorites, going for their second straight title after winning 103 games -- 12 more than the Reds. It was all Reds. Mostly, it was all Jose Rijo. He allowed one run over 15 1/3 innings in winning Games 1 and 4.
Key moment/game: In the bottom of the 10th of Game 2, little-used utility guy Billy Bates -- he'd had only five plate appearances with the Reds and hit .088 on the season (3-for-34) -- reaches on an infield dribbler against Dennis Eckersley and later scores the winning run. It was the last appearance of his brief major league career.
8. Boston Braves: Beat Athletics in 1914 World Series
Considering all the times the Atlanta Braves were upset in the postseason (see above!), it's not a surprise that we have to go back to the Boston Braves to find their own shocker. The Miracle Braves were in last place on July 18 -- that's eight out of eight teams -- but would go 31-8 in September/October to win the NL pennant. In the World Series, they swept Connie Mack's A's, who had won in 1910, 1911 and 1913. Mack, disillusioned by the defeat and facing financial problems, tore up the team after the loss.
Key moment/game: In Game 3, the A's take the lead with two runs in the 10th. The Braves tie it, however, with one run coming on catcher Hank Gowdy's home run -- back when few home runs were hit -- and then win in 12 innings.
7. Kansas City Royals: Beat Cardinals in 1985 World Series
The 2014 and 2015 postseason runs were of transcendent joy, but this was the biggest upset. This team had George Brett at his peak and 21-year-old Cy Young winner Bret Saberhagen, but was a 91-win team and not nearly as good as some of the Royals teams from a few years earlier that failed to win a World Series. The Cardinals had won 101 games.
Key moment/game: The Cardinals led 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth of Game 6, three outs from a title. Jorge Orta hit a bounce to first base, pitcher Todd Worrell covering for the out. Except Don Denkinger blows the call. The Cardinals self-destruct from there with a dropped foul ball and passed ball, and the Royals score twice and then win Game 7 behind Saberhagen's 11-0 shutout.
6. Minnesota Twins: Beat Cardinals in 1987 World Series
One of the worst World Series champions ever, the Twins won 85 games and were outscored by 20 runs. One thing they did well: Win in the Metrodome. They had gone 56-25 at home and 29-52 on the road, but thanks to the quirks of a preset schedule had home-field advantage in both the ALCS and World Series. They would go 6-0 at home. Long live the Homer Hankie. The Cardinals had gone 95-67, although Jack Clark, their best hitter (.286/.459/.597, 35 home runs), missed the series, and Terry Pendleton played just three of the seven games.
Key moment/game: Kent Hrbek's grand slam breaks open Game 6 and sends it to Game 7, which the Twins win behind Frank Viola.
5. New York Giants: Beat Indians in 1954 World Series
The Giants featured NL MVP Willie Mays, 21-game winner Johnny Antonelli and bullpen aces Hoyt Wilhelm and Marv Grissom as they went 97-57 -- and this was still a huge upset. That's because the Indians won 111 games, at the time an American League record, behind the stellar rotation of Early Wynn, Bob Lemon, Mike Garcia and a still-effective Bob Feller. Larry Doby led the AL in home runs and RBIs. Then the Giants swept the series.
Key moment/game: Mays' famous catch came in the eighth inning of Game 1, preserving a 2-2 tie as the Giants would eventually win in 10 innings on Dusty Rhodes' pinch-hit three-run walk-off.
4. Chicago White Sox: Beat Cubs in 1906 World Series
If your nickname is "The Hitless Wonders," it probably qualifies as an upset. In fact, this makes a strong case for the greatest upset in postseason history since the White Sox were 93-58 while the Cubs were 116-36. If you like 1906 baseball and want to put this atop your list, go for it. Anyway, the White Sox hit .230 that year, which was worst in the American League. The Sox, however, were Moneyball 95 years before "Moneyball," leading the league in walks and finishing third in runs. They also had a pitching staff that allowed the fewest runs in the league, led by spitballer Ed Walsh, who spun 10 shutouts that year.
Key moment/game: Walsh throws a two-hit, 12-strikeout shutout in Game 3. The White Sox win in six games with Jiggs Donahue driving in three runs off Three Finger Brown in the clincher. Never pass up a chance to write "Jiggs Donahue."
3. Boston Red Sox: Beat Yankees in 2004 ALCS
You can make an argumentthat this qualifies as the greatest upset considering not just the history of the two franchises but the Red Sox becoming the only team in postseason history to rally from a 3-0 series deficit. In actual strength, the teams were pretty even: The Yankees won 101 games, the Red Sox 98, and the Red Sox actually had the much larger run differential (plus-180 to plus-89). So maybe it wasn't even an upset!
Key moment/game: Dave Roberts steals second and sets everything into motion.
2. Los Angeles Dodgers: Beat A's in 1988 World Series
The Dodgers had two players who hit more than 10 home runs, and one of them had just one at-bat in the World Series (it was a big one). Their No. 3 hitter in the World Series hit one home run all season. Their No. 2 hitter hit .223 with a .288 OBP. Their third baseman had a .268 OBP. Their shortstop hit .199. The A's had won 104 games, the Dodgers 94. This was about Kirk Gibson's heroics and Orel Hershiser carrying a team on his back and a reminder that absolutely anything can happen in a short series.
Key moment/game: As Vin Scully said, "And look who's coming up."
1. New York Mets: Beat Orioles in 1969 World Series
On one level, maybe this is overrated as the biggest upset. After all, the Mets won 100 games. On the other hand, the Orioles won 109, so there was still a wide spread in the win column. The Mets also outperformed their Pythagorean record by eight wins, so you can argue their true talent level wasn't really that of a 100-win team. Pointedly, they won just 83 games the following season. What still makes the Miracle Mets the preeminent miracle in postseason history is the backstory. They'd gone 73-89 in 1968, which was the best -- by 12 wins! -- in the franchise's short history. They were an extremely young team. Until they traded for Donn Clendenon, the oldest regular position player was 26. The top four starters were all 26 or younger. They came out of nowhere and beat a loaded Orioles team in five games.
Key moment/game: Lots of crazy moments and great catches throughout the series, but the gem was Tom Seaver's 2-1 victory in Game 4 when he pitched all 10 innings.

Ah yes, the Proverbs 31 Woman…trotted out every Mother's Day, making wives and mothers feel guilty because they're not matching up to this legendary superwoman. Of course, she shares a chapter with a piece of counsel for kings, but nobody loses sleep over verses 1–9; the woman in verses 10–31 gets all the glory.
Here are three fast facts about Proverbs 31 that might transform your view of this passage.
1. Proverbs 31 was not written primarily for women. It was written for young men (verse 1).
The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him.
2. The main point of Proverbs 31:10–31 is found in verse 30. It is intended for unmarried young men.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
3. The only commandment given in Proverbs 31:10–31 is found in the final verse. It is not directed toward the woman.
Give her the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.
That is all.

What the Lord Chamberlain Allowed
Fifties prudery! Backstage at the Pivvy, Lodge Lane,
where Uncle Bill performed as red-nosed comic between
nude tableaus of scrawny Liverpool wenches
decked out in classical garb: William Tell's son
with papier machť apple elasticked to her head;
Papa Tell: a naked lass with an aimed crossbow,
neither allowed to move, not even a tick, just
like guards at attention at Buck House, on a cold stage.
I was seven watching from the wings the powdered birds
-- but I preferred then currant buns to nipples like currants.
Later, sneaked peeks at pics of judies from underdeveloped
nations around the globe helped me to develop.

WSC Travel Soccer Tryout & Selection Policy
The Tryout Process:
All players can register at the specified time and location of their try-out, as listed below. download pdf
Please email email@example.com with any questions.
When determining the age group for a season, the year the season ends should be used for determining the birth year of the player:
- Each tryout session will last 60-90 minutes with at least two Travel Committee members present
- There should be no cheering or individual coaching during a tryout.
- During the tryout sessions, all players will be evaluated to determine selection and team placement. In each age/gender group, the Travel Committee will be responsible for setting and implementing guidelines for player evaluation based in the Travel Tryout Evaluation Form.
- It is important to note that attendance and performance at the club's tryout sessions is not the only process used for evaluating and selecting players for the travel club. Players may be evaluated from scouting games, practice and informal scrimmages, by recommendations from coaches and from a player's performance throughout the year.
- Specific information regarding a player rating/ranking will not be shared with parents or other members of the community, due to the sensitive nature of the information.
The mission of the Warwick Soccer Club travel team tryout and selection process is to ensure that all players receive a fair opportunity to join a team of their peers possessing similar game skills.
General Information:
Teams for each age group will be formed to maximize the number of qualified participants in travel soccer. The number of teams formed for each age group will be determined by the number of qualified participants in tryouts and the number of coaches available.
Teams will be formed based on skill level. The top rated players will form a team that will play in a higher flight than the next team and so on. If there are not enough players or coaches to form a second or third team, all tryout participants not chosen for a roster position will be encouraged to play in the WSC REC program and attend tryouts the following year.
The Warwick Soccer Club requires players to demonstrate sufficient proficiency to play travel soccer from U11 and beyond. As such, if coaches have roster spots available but any player trying out is deemed by the Travel Committee to be significantly less skilled than those on the existing team, that team is not required to add this player. In the U9 and U10 age groups, rosters should be filled if players are available and want to play. During the spring U10 season and beyond, if coaches believe that they have rostered players whose lower skill level is limiting the progress of the group, the coaches may request an evaluation by the Travel Committee. If the Travel Committee agrees that this player is not able to play at the necessary level, arrangements will be made to remove this player from the roster at the end of the season. Every effort must be made to support this transition for the player. Roster changes through this mechanism should only occur at the end of the spring season.
Tryouts are open to all resident U9-19 girls and boys. A resident player is defined as a Town of Warwick resident or any player attending a Warwick School. Teams are first populated with Warwick residents. If open roster spots remain, non-residents can be utilized for a team. Once a non-resident player is accepted to a team, during future tryouts their evaluations will not be subject to out-of-town status.
The tryout process is held once a year in the spring and consists of two individual tryout sessions. The results of these tryouts will determine the teams for the following fall and spring seasons.
Participants are required to make at least one of the tryout sessions and are strongly encouraged to attend both.
Tryouts should only be held at the Warwick Town Park soccer fields.
New U9 teams:
- Will take place during existing pre-travel practice session in mid-May.
- Existing teams U10 to U19
- Tryout players will attend regularly scheduled team practices. Schedule TBD.
Tryout Day
- Current travel players must NOT wear their uniform jerseys. Existing travel players who show up in any part of their uniform will be asked to leave to change clothing.
- Players must bring their own ball and wear shin guards. Players must bring their own water.
Team and player notification
The Travel Committee will work with coaches to determine the roster for the upcoming season. Emails of acceptance or rejection will be sent out as soon as selection is made. This is typically within a few weeks of tryouts. There will be no registrations after the season starts without Travel Committee and Board approval. Having previously played for a team does not guarantee a spot for the next season.
New player and team follow-up
Initial Parent Meeting – Within 1-2 weeks after player notification, each team should hold a meeting for the purposes of giving parents an opportunity to meet each other, to identify parents who will act as team manager, treasurer, etc. and to complete necessary administrative tasks.
Parent Meeting Notification – The Travel Committee will notify parents about the initial parent meeting. They will provide electronic copies of forms listed below and a description of the required parent volunteer positions, and will instruct the parents to bring the following items to the meeting for collection at the meeting.
- Birth certificates, passports, or other appropriate identification (for U-9s and new older players).
- Roster information, including child and parents' names; home address; home, work, cell, and fax phone numbers;
- email addresses; date of birth; and school.
- A completed Medical Authorization Form (notarization is recommended given that certain tournaments require
- notarization).
- A completed parent code of conduct.
- Ideas for team name for new teams.
Information to be covered at Initial Parent Meeting
- For U9 teams, explanation of basics and philosophy of travel soccer for WSC program.
- Introduction of Coach and Assistant(s).
- Explanation of coaching philosophy and expectations.
- Assignment of jobs (manager, treasurer, uniforms, equipment, etc.)
- Ordering of uniforms. (For U9 teams, sample uniforms should be brought to the meeting or at a later practice, if scheduled soon thereafter, so that appropriate sizes can be selected.)
- Selection of player numbers.
- Confirm the established travel club payment dates and policies.
- Collection of administrative paperwork, including but not limited to player and parent code of conduct forms, player agreements, signing player pass cards and other necessary tasks.
- Deadlines for uniform orders and registration

Deceased youth's kin demand justice
The family and relatives of 18-year-old Pavitar Singh of Chait Singh Wala village, who was killed in poll-related violence during panchayat elections on July 3, on Monday tried to stage a protest at the mini-secretariat here.punjab Updated: Jul 22, 2013 21:22 IST
Hindustan Times
The family and relatives of 18-year-old Pavitar Singh of Chait Singh Wala village, who was killed in poll-related violence during panchayat elections on July 3, on Monday tried to stage a protest at the mini-secretariat here.
But the police stopped them on the outskirts of the village where they sat on a protest."We want to hold a peaceful protest at the district headquarters as the accused in the murder case are still roaming free even after three weeks of the incident. But the police did not allow us to reach there and have stopped us here," alleged the father of the deceased youth.
The police blocked the only link road leading to the village from Maccaki Kalan and blocked the link road.
Pavitar had been killed allegedly by a bullet fired by inspector Gurcharan Singh. The two groups from the ruling party had clashed on the issue of recounting of votes polled for the post of sarpanch, in which three people were also injured.
In a cross-case, the police registered an FIR against one Amarjeet Singh and unidentified people under section 307 of the IPC, while only a DDR was registered against the accused police inspector and newly elected sarpanch Parwinder Singh under section 302 (murder) of the IPC. However, no arrests have been made so far.
After the incident, the district police had formed a special investigation team to investigate the case, but the inquiry report is yet to be submitted.
"The police have not taken any action against the accused cop and the village sarpanch. They are roaming free and the sarpanch has even been provided two gunmen for security, alleged Jagseer Singh," cousin of the deceased youth.
"The family is being approached for reaching a compromise but we want justice," said Pala Singh, a relative.
Though most protesters were stopped 11 km way from Faridkot, some of them reached Faridkot where they held a meeting with the joint action committee that had been formed after the abduction of a minor girl, and the Bharti Kisan Union Krantikari.
"We will help get justice to the family and chalk out the future strategy," said the members of the joint action committee at the mini-secretariat.
"Bharti Kisan Union Krantikari will also extend support to the family," said the union activists who had also reached there to support the family.
Later, a delegation of protesters met deputy commissioner Ravi Bhagat, demanding the submission of the investigation report at the earliest besides compensation and a job for a member of the family.
"The SSP has assured them that the inquiry report would be submitted soon. As far as compensation and job are concerned, we will write to the government," said Bhagat.
"The findings of the SIT would be submitted shortly as it took time because of forensic examination and other aspects. The family will get justice," said SSP Gurmeet Singh Randhawa.

Most arsenic poisoning is chronic: Through global trade, we are ingesting more and more arsenic-contaminated products � mainly rice, tea, medicinal herbs. Acute arsenic poisoning usually is accidental or occupational (mainly workers in pest control, electronics manufacturing industry and pressure-treated carpentry). Few are homi- or suicidal. Earlier this year I have been diagnosed with arsenic-induced ataxia. Ataxia means imbalance, wobbliness.
For me, I am glad that I have �just� ataxia, and not more. The list below contains Latin as well a common names to make it easier to find things.
Here is the short of what I have been doing to reduce my arsenic levels:
1. Stop using tainted products; look for safer sources.
2. Sauna as often as possible to sweat out heavy metals. Sweating through exercise and summer heat also helps.
3. Eating fresh garlic and cilantro bind and expel heavy metals
4. Vitamin C, selenium, vitamin B12, zinc, folate and methionine add to the elimination of arsenic.
5. And, of course, all the other lifestyle goodies: A healthy diet heavy on vegetables. Movement. Enough sleep. Plenty of water (some areas of the US have arsenic-contaminated drinking water from wells � careful!).

Since there are so many overlapping features with many diseases, it will take an open mind and special alertness to make a diagnosis.

Invasive Plants 5 - Crab Grass

Writing about the possible benefits of invasive plants, I had the fear that for most broad-leafed weeds it would be easy to find medicinal and other value, but that for grasses, I might have to pass. Interestingly, grasses have some good sides, too � even a such-maligned, horrible weed as crab grass.
Crab grass (also called �finger grass� because of its spiky inflorescences, or �fonio�, for African plants) are actually several Digitaria species � �Digitaria� again meaning �finger-like�.
Why is crab grass the proverbial weed? It turns out that �crabs� can�t take hold in a well-watered, well-fertilized lawn. But let that lawn be neglected, and develop some bald spots � that�s where the annual crab grass will move in, taking advantage.
A lawn usually consists of perennial grasses that stay green long into fall and often into winter. Crab grass would be fine to be intermingled, if it would not die by the end of summer and will leave a bald spot � especially if you pull it and do not immediately reseed with normal lawn seed. In that bald spot, its many, many seeds can take hold again. Crab grass� trick is its long germination period: It might die early, but it can germinate basically all year, as long as there is no snow on the ground. Usually, a bald crab grass spot extends thus from season to season, always looking awful in the fall, showing your neighbors that you are a less-than-perfect gardener.
Remedy? Keep your grass healthy, well-fed, well-watered, well-limed, and reseed in fall and spring, so that crab grass seedlings have no chance.
So, what for is this invasive grass good? For cows and other ungulates like deer crab grass is as nutritious as any other grass; even more so, because of its high protein contents. Sub-Saharan Africa people eat the milled crab grass seeds in porridge and bread. The problem with crab grass is that it germinates and ripens its seed willfully throughout the year. Therefore it must be hand-harvested, defying large-scale cultivation. However, early settlers in America purposefully would till a spot in the spring so that crab grass could grow there, for the grazing of the animals later in the year.
Crab grass (like Bermuda grass) is a warm-weather grass. As such, it accumulates less sugar than a perennial grass - it does not intend to stay around for the winter, needing staying power through the winter. That makes crab grass better digestible especially to horses who might be quite sensitive to a high sugar and starch content � which bloats them, causing colic. So, as hay, crab grass is quite desirable.
Crab grass contains non-trivial amounts of magnesium, phosphorus and calcium � important for bone health, and some vitamin A, folate, and retinol; they might account for its use in eye health: Medicinally, crabgrass infusion is said to be helping against cataracts and feebleness. I probably won�t use it exactly for that purpose. But just knowing that crab grass is not poisonous will land it in my garden teas from now on.

Chicago: Legal Graffiti Hopes to Change Look of West Humboldt Park
Some of Graffiti Zone's work. (Photos/Shellye Leggett)
By Shellye
The Red Line Project
Posted: Wednesday, June 19, 2013
Chicago's West Humboldt Park residents have gotten use to the illegal graffiti in the area.
But this summer, they'll be seeing something new — legal graffiti art and murals to cover blank walls of buildings and businesses in the neighborhood.
Graffiti Zone, a local youth art studio in West Humboldt Park, will help local graffiti artists build on their talents while legally creating pieces on open spaces throughout the community.
Graffiti Zone is located at 3722 West Chicago Avenue, has existed for six years as an after-school arts program where young students in surrounding neighborhoods can connect with themselves and their community through art making and arts promotion. Elementary students to high school students come to the studio on weekday afternoons and participate in many different forms of art: painting, photography, music and dance.
Owner and Executive Director Jody Cooley said businesses with bare walls, just blocks away from Graffiti Zones' front door, could be upgrading their appearances this summer with a new masterpiece created by students and local artists that work with Graffiti Zone.
"Each space we have had, the community has been very supportive," Cooley said. "They know what dangers their kids face on the streets."
Cooley is a self-taught artist that created Graffiti Zone to help kids get off the streets in an at risk neighborhood.
"Kids need something to do in at risk neighborhoods to get off the dangerous street," Cooley said. "They also need a creative outlet to express themselves and learn art and business skills which is lacking in our schools."
Graffiti is a form of visual communication, usually illegal, involving unauthorized marking of public spaces by individuals or groups that cover many walls in the West Humboldt Park area. Although the common image of graffiti is usually a symbol or phrase spray-painted on a wall by a member of a street gang, some graffiti is not gang related.
Miguel Rodriguez (left), program director of Graffiti Zone, started tagging in eighth grade.
"It was a way of telling the world that I exist," Rodriguez said. "Eventually, I racked up enough cases with the law and I spent one week in the juvenile detention center."
Rodriguez was given 300 hours of community service, which is where he got his start in working with nonprofit organizations.
"Instead of labeling me as a vandal, they were labeling me as an artist," Rodriguez said. "I started to experiment with other forms of art, with graffiti being the baseline for it."
Many graffiti artists tag to get attention or satisfy a form of thrill-seeking. But in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood, the amount of illegal graffiti is decreasing because of the Graffiti Zone Art center's work, Rodriguez said. The group takes measures to legally paint graffiti as art on area spaces to bring color and storytelling to the neighborhood.
"[Graffiti] communicates indirectly with the world that there are issues going on in the community," Rodriguez said. "If you walk down a street that has a lot of illegal graffiti, they probably don't have any art programs around there."
Many graffiti artists see what they do as a harmless why of expression. Others like local branch of McCahill Painting Company, Chicagoland Graffiti Removal, see graffiti as an illegal form of defacing a neighborhood.
Local musician and graffiti artist, Al Tamper, started tagging in high school during his teenage years and still continues to create masterpiece after masterpiece with the friends he has made through the art form.
"Creating this art makes me feel good whether it's a dope tag, dope fill, dope burner or a day at the chill walls with the homies," Tamper said. "Beer and beats usually playing while you calmly paint a masterpiece."
Some people and artists see graffiti as an expressive art form. Local musician Samuel "Racecar" Nash, said there is a line between true graffiti art and simple tagging.
"I would draw a line between graffiti as an art and the art of tagging," Nash said. "Creating a proposed, conceptual piece is entirely different from tagging as a form of advertisement."
The mission of Graffiti Zone is to have each empty wall covered with a beautiful masterpiece created by students and artist at the studio. This has been a great way to get teens off the streets and give purpose to the art form in a troubled neighborhood.
"To the young artist trying to come up, don't do it unless you're going to do it right," Tamper said. "I'm sick of seeing kids get into it to be rebellious and then stop after two years. I love what I do. I can't stop."
Creating graffiti, tagging, and painting on public property is illegal. There are ways to be creative and use artistic talents without breaking the law. According to Rodriguez, there are "permission walls" in Chicago where artists are free to pain. Also, artists can simply ask the local business owner for permission.
But Josue "Sedz" Gutierrez, a Columbia College Chicago student and a local graffiti artist, said participating in tagging is a thrill.
"I never understood how people got on top of buildings or rooftops until I had to do it myself," Gutierrez said.
Gutierrez has also had some close encounters with authorities while tagging late at night.
"I've been caught a few times. Once at a train station and another on a rooftop," Gutierrez said. "Some cops were shining their lights on our freshly painted wall and we just laid flat on the roof for an hour before they left."
But that's a risk that graffiti artists shouldn't take, Cooley said.
"How would you feel if you worked really hard to buy a building and keep it looking nice and then I walked up and painted my name on it?" he said. "There is a place for graffiti and many people will give you permission to do [it] if you just ask them."

I have been extra horrible at updating the last six months, sorry! I have moved three times since my last post, and have been without a computer. I have been drawing again and am very happy with my new work which I will post soon. Check out my flickr if you want a little preview. Anyway I have worked with Claudia Susana quite a bit recently and thought I would post some of our photos.
In June we did a shoot in the Sharon Woods. We were trying to catch the fireflies in the photos which was actually crazy hard. Magic did happen though, and Claudia produced some amazing photos as usual.
This photo was actually taken the same day. I am in front of the house I stayed alone in over the summer. I love this photo because it has the yellow daisies in the background which I had a love hate relationship with. I would pick them and put them in vases in my bedroom window.
These photos were taken last weekend. I am modeling with Ashley at her boyfriend's pool. This was such a fun photo shoot to do. It was basically just a girl's pool party. We listened to The Talking Heads and ate Chipotle. We also were pretending it was the 80's in our awesome retro bathing suits.
Check out Claudia Susana's blog and website for more magical photos.
Well, that's it for now, but expect more frequent posts.

Your hearing can benefit from healthy life choices.
Consider the commitments many people resolve to in the new year-- healthier choices are frequently at the top of the list. These are not generally focused on hearing health specifically, but can still have positive benefits on your ears and auditory system. We know that some resolutions are difficult to keep, but encourage you to consider healthier lifestyle habits that are manageable and beneficial on many levels.
These tips are designed to help you form habits that will preserve your hearing.
Whether you have a diagnosed hearing loss, suspect a loss may exist, or have normal hearing at this time, these habits can help anyone preserve what they've got.
Maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
Many health issues are linked to unhealthy body weight. Hearing is no exception to this rule. Women and teens are the most susceptible populations in which obesity has been linked to loss of high frequency hearing. Carrying excessive weight is linked to several other health concerns, including hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, which are all correlated with hearing loss as well.
Healthy diet and exercise can positively impact your body weight and decrease risk factors for disease. Fortunately, these habits can also encourage healthier inner ear function by providing the nutrients and circulation that the ear requires to work its best.
Consider your vices.
The benefits of smoking cessation are vast and apparent. Of course, improvements in general health and wellness can occur when an individual commits to quit. These benefits to not stop at the ears. Smoking can cause damage in several stages of the hearing system, from the outer ear to inner ear all the way up through the auditory receptors in the brain. Resolving to quit can have resounding long term effects on you overall health, and hearing health as well.
Drinking alcohol can pose risks to your hearing function, depending upon quantities consumed. Many people consider a glass of wine a day to have positive health benefits. But drinking to excess can actually become quite harmful to your health, including the health of your ears. Excessive alcohol consumption causes toxicity in the ears that can permanently damage hearing abilities, cause tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and dizziness, too. Temporary effects of drinking also include decreased reception of low frequency sounds. So this year, try to be smart about the quantities of alcohol you consume to avoid negative health effects, including hearing damage.
Avoid excessive noise exposure.
Loud noise can cause permanent damage to part of the inner ear responsible for detecting sound. Hearing damage from noise is often related to listing to music at excessive volume levels, working with loud equipment, motorsports, and use of firearms without hearing protection. Consider making a New Year's resolution of listening to music at a moderate volume, and using hearing protection (such as earplugs or muffs) when around loud noises. A little prevention can go a long way in avoiding the onset of hearing loss and/or tinnitus which is commonly associated with exposure loud noises.
Seek the care of a hearing professional.
Being proactive about your health is easy to commit to. Most people wait seven years to do anything about their hearing once they suspect an issue. Don't be that person. It doesn't help you or the people around you to put it off. The vast majority of hearing problems are treatable-- the first step is seeing a professional to have yourself checked.
Keep in mind that small, incremental changes that stick can ultimately outweigh huge sweeping resolutions that can't be maintained over time.
Not hearing as well as you used to?
Stop in and have a chat with us. The hearing loss you are experiencing just might be treatable, and we can help guide you along every step of the way.
We can't wait to help you gain a better hearing lifestyle. Here at Family Audiology we are committed to better hearing and committed to you! Contact us today and schedule an appointment.

Um, okay, one last bit of asking for help. I need work. I stand to lose my job in two weeks, I've done everything I can and have been working my ass off, but I still don't think I'll get off my PiP (Personal Improvement Plan). Does anyone know of dev jobs near Portland? I'll even take any jobs near Seattle. I've worked as associate dev for almost 4 years now and have been working since I've been 14. If anyone can help me secure an interview or has connections I'd be so thankful

Also, yes, I have been putting out resumes, but it took me 6 months to find this current job and I don't have that kind of time, especially if I can't claim unemployment (going to need to really fight for it).

source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/05/17/you-can-be-fined-for-not-calling-people-ze-or-hir-if-thats-the-pronoun-they-demand-that-you-use/
That's official legal guidance from the New York City Commission on Human Rights:
The NYCHRL [New York City Human Rights Law] requires employers[, landlords, and all businesses and professionals] to use an [employee's, tenant's, customer's, or client's] preferred name, pronoun and title (e.g., Ms./Mrs.) regardless of the individual's sex assigned at birth, anatomy, gender, medical history, appearance, or the sex indicated on the individual's identification.
Most individuals and many transgender people use female or male pronouns and titles. Some transgender and gender non-conforming people prefer to use pronouns other than he/him/his or she/her/hers, such as they/them/theirs or ze/hir. [Footnote: Ze and hir are popular gender-free pronouns preferred by some transgender and/or gender non-conforming individuals.] …
Examples of Violations
a. Intentional or repeated refusal to use an individual's preferred name, pronoun or title. For example, repeatedly calling a transgender woman "him" or "Mr." after she has made clear which pronouns and title she uses …
Covered entities may avoid violations of the NYCHRL by creating a policy of asking everyone what their preferred gender pronoun is so that no individual is singled out for such questions and by updating their systems to allow all individuals to self-identify their names and genders. They should not limit the options for identification to male and female only.
So people can basically force us — on pain of massive legal liability — to say what they want us to say, whether or not we want to endorse the political message associated with that term, and whether or not we think it's a lie.
We have to use "ze," a made-up word that carries an obvious political connotation (endorsement of the "non-binary" view of gender). We have to call people "him" and "her" even if we believe that people's genders are determined by their biological sex and not by their self-perceptions — perceptions that, by the way, can rapidly change, for those who are "gender-fluid" — and that using terms tied to self-perception is basically a lie. (I myself am not sure whether people who are anatomically male, for example, but perceive themselves as female should be viewed as men or women; perhaps one day I'll be persuaded that they should be viewed as women; my objection is to being forced to express that view.) We can't be required to even display a license plate that says "Live Free or Die" on our car, if we object to the message; that's what the court held in Wooley v. Maynard (1978). But New York is requiring people to actually say words that convey a message of approval of the view that gender is a matter of self-perception rather than anatomy, and that, as to "ze," were deliberately created to convey that a message.

is that the Dow and S&P triangles both resolved to the upside.
I watched it, did nothing. The book says to be long it here, though. If you got a little pullback to 11.7, S&P to 1290, it'd be compelling to give it a shot. I have problems buying a market that's been such a whipsaw lately when it's already up 200. Looks like you could get a move to 12.1, 12.2 on the Dow from here. Dow looks like it has a little more room to run than the S&P.
On a decade chart, the Dow 11750 level was very important support going all the way back to the 2000 - 2001 timeframe. This support level was only broken in June. Keep this in mind as a very important long-term pivot.
Other things I'm looking at are -
1 - $USD is in breakout mode, broke above its 200 DMA for the first time in 2 years. My look at the charts says 85 or 90 can't be ruled out. FXE, conversely, broke below support and its 200 DMA. That chart looks absolutely ripe to try to fill its gap, then trade from the short side.
2 - The strongest group of the week was the clothing and accessories index, up 14%.
Ignoring whatever convictions one might have about the state of the US consumer, divergence analysis likes COH here. There's a MACD, Money flow, RSI and Williams oscillator divergence, off a recognizable double-bottom at 25. Reviewing the 3 year chart, the same support level held earlier this year and back in the summer of 2006.
COH is really a clothing supplier, but if you take RTH as a retail proxy, there's a double-bottom in that chart around 85. You'd definitely want to wait for a pullback here. No one has any business buying something up 20% from a base.
APP could be a trendline break in this group.
3 - REITs. Put the Dow Jones US REIT index up on a 3-year weekly and you'll note how it held support running all the way back to the fall of 2005. URE would be the vehicle, but it's extended now. Also, the only divergence with its lows earlier this year is RSI. That's too thin for me to trade, but I find it interesting that several consumer discretionary stocks plus commercial real estate can be viewed as forming bases here.
4 - Dow Water Index up 11.78%. These stocks are a mixed bag; some are utilities (a group I don't like), some are industrial water processing companies, others are tied to housing. I'm watching the trendline break in WTR and SWWC.
I didn't do anything yesterday. I thought about taking down part of the DZZ (double-short gold) position when gold touched the H&S objective of $851 during the day. But looking at the GLD chart, it looks like it gapped down under important support and took out its 200 DMA. With the dollar and euro and general commodity action the last few weeks, I made a decision to let the position run. On Monday I'll tighten the stop on about 15% of the position.
So, my best candidate on the long side is COH on a pullback, as close to 25 as you can get it. Maybe a quick trading position in some DDM if it turns out not to be a headfake.
On the short side, I'm looking at the H&S in FRO. I missed this when it broke through the neckline at 60. I also missed another shot at it on Wednesday when it came back above 58. What you'd like to see on the short side is if it comes back to the neckline on decreasing volume. The downside measures to about 48.
I don't see any need to force anything right here. I'm watching cautiously and leaning toward taking off some of my commodity shorts. I'm weighing the deep oversold levels in gold and materials against their breach of important support and moving averages. You have to expect an oversold bounce - possibly violent - in these at some point. Stops go really tight on these, almost certainly insuring that something gets sold.

Il grillo per la testa is a site-specific installation in the neoclassical Villa Romana on the outskirts of Florence. Leonora Bisagno worked on the architectural elements of the building. The isolated, closed, interior balcony above the entrance of the villa, inaccessible for a long time, was re-opened by the artist. Painted in pompei red colour, usually en vogue during Neoclassicism,
Leonora gave new life to this central but unnoticed area of the villa.
Leonora Bisagno's research was on architecture's reversibility, its surfaces and decoration: the balcony itself, as an element situated between interior and exterior of an edifice, the grapevine plant, usually covering villas' façades, as well as to the representation of this ancient decorative element, present in other areas of the villa. The intrusive image, laid on the leaves of the balcony, showing a cricket on a head, recalls the ever existing relationship between nature and representation. Il grillo per la testa (a cricket on the head) is an Italian expression that means to be full of bizarre, strange ideas.

Asbestos brakes have been common in drum brakes sinc […]
Asbestos brakes have been common in drum brakes since asbestos fibers are characterized by high strength and high temperature resistance up to 316 ° C, so they meet the requirements of brake pads and clutch discs and liners, and it is cheap to extract its ore Resources are extremely rich.
But why asbestos brake pads have been extinct? Because in recent years it has been found that asbestos has potential harm, asbestos has been confirmed by the medical profession is carcinogenic substances, the needle-like fiber is easy to enter the lungs and stay, resulting in stimulation, and ultimately lead to the occurrence of lung cancer, but the disease latency Can be up to 15-30 years.
Of course, asbestos brakes have an important flaw that turns people into new materials to replace it. As the asbestos itself is insulated, thermal conductivity is particularly poor, so after repeated braking in the brake will focus on the accumulation of a lot of heat, and then we will often produce serious heat attenuation, and even brake failure. This is not obvious for urban driving, but it is fatal to high-speed vehicles.

This is from a few weeks back, but a look at a really big manga magazine. It's over 1000 pages! And it costs around $5! Whatta deal! It's the kind of format I think works really well for comics.
I know there has to be something behind the curtains that makes something like this possible. Maybe the creators are paid less. In the comments, readers point out how these magazines are printed on really cheap paper, sometimes detracting from the quality of the art, and that only a few of these magazines can actually succeed, and usually on the strength of one or two series that have crossover appeal (Fullmetal Alchemist being the example from the magazine in the post), and they usually have to be sold at a loss until those series take off. There's also a difference in culture – most comic readers in North America are used to full-color, professional-looking product, whereas black and white comics magazines have been the most popular format in Japan (and Europe, as well) for over 50 years. There are many extra things to consider before calling this thing obviously perfect in every way.
Even so…whatta deal!

I remember reading about how anthologies work, there's a page rate, which I forgot, but new authors get paid less than veterans. Manuscript fees are paid by revenues collected from magazines sales. Authors get royalties, about 8 to 10 percent if I remember correctly, from collected volumes, that's when they earn substantial money.
The original art is drawn on a paper that's the same size as the bigger anthologies.
So the art in collected volumes is actually several times smaller than the real deal.
As for ads, most Japanese anthologies actually contain very little ads, most of the pages are used up by comics! That's because the anthologies themselves often don't make much money.
And there's cheaper than Gangan, Weekly Shounen Jump is 240 yen, that's about 2.5$, give or take, for about 460 pages. WSJ's two traditional rivals in terms of sales, Weekly Shounen Magazine and Weekly Shounen Sunday are both 260 yen, and have about as many pages.
I don't think there's a 1000 pages weekly anthology, but Gangan is not the only 1000 pages monthly. There's also bimonthlies with that page run.
As for why and how Japanese publishers manage to do this, according to what I've read, anthologies actually don't make much money, apparently, Weekly Shounen Jump is one of the few anthologies that make any profits, and all others are in the red!
All the mainstream anthologies, whether they're weekly, twice a month, monthly, or bimonthly, are at least 450 pages, some are 1000+ pages, and have, I'd say, price points of about 2 to 6$.
The ones aimed at younger readers usually sell better, so they usually are priced lower, especially weekly ones, whose prices are the lowest so that buying them is not too much a burden to the readers, who can be very young. Like I said, they actually usually don't include that much ads compared to Western magazines.
However, like I wrote earlier, even in Japan, printing a 1000 pages monthly with very few ads is apparently not profitable.
Then how do publishers actually make money?
They actually make money off collected volumes.
Anthologies are advertising campaigns for collected volumes. As long as the publisher sells enough collected volumes in the long run, the magazine is considered successful, and can get in the black or green.
It's kind of gambling, but with potentially high profits.
Also, Japanese anthologies usually include at least 12 to 20 different serials per issue, so there's a sizeable selection for readers, which is important, because publishers know that many people will rather read anthologies standing without buying them (very common in Japan) if there's only 1 or 2 serial they're interested in. Gangan, which is on the big side, has about 30 serials per issue.
To use an analogy, anthologies are like network or cable TV.
Let's say Company A produces a TV series but is forced to released it on DVD, without being able to find a network that will air it, while Company B does the same thing, but has sold their series to a TV station. In all probability, Company B's series will sell more DVD because more people 1) have seen it 2) know it even exists.
The logic behing anthologies is the same. You can promote 12 to 20 different titles at the same time, and reach audiences that can number hundred of thousands or millions of readers for the most popular anthology.
The next step is to have one or two heavily promoted flagship titles, which might even get TV anime or live action adaptations, rising their profiles even more. If the series aren't finished, new readers who can't wait until the next collected volumes are released, will join the magazine readership, and will probably at least try to read other series in the magazine, to get their money's worth.

Transcribed from: Comedy CentralCast:
Transcribed by: M. Howie
Mark: Hello, doctor.
- Dave- plastic surgeon
- Mark- patient
- Kevin- doctor's assistant
- Brian Hartt- cop
[Dave extends his arm across his desk, and they shake hands.]
Dave: Mr. Divyk.
Mark: Hi.
Dave: Have a seat.
[Mark and Dave sit down.]
Mark: Um, I guess I should start by saying I feel, uh, a little nervous about seeing a plastic surgeon, um...
Dave: Well, imagine how nervous I feel about being a plastic surgeon.
[They both laugh, and Mark relaxes a bit.]
Mark: Thank you. Um, alright, what I wanted done is --
Dave: No no no no, let's not rush straight into business, let's uh, just sit and chat for a second, just uh, tell me, what's new?
Mark: Well, uh, I don't know, what's new with you?
Dave: Well, I'm glad you ask -- I'm gradually turning my assistant into a rat.
Mark: [looking a bit confused] A rat.
Dave: Shh! He has excellent hearing.
Mark: What do you -- what do you mean?
[Kevin, with rat's ears and protruding rat's teeth, rushes into the office, wearing a white lab coat and acting very much like a rodent, his nose twitching.]
Kevin: [in a very high-pitched voice] Did you call me?
Dave: No, nobody called you.
Kevin: Are you sure?
Dave: Yes, I'm sure.
Kevin: I'll sit here just in case you need me.
[Kevin sits in a chair by the door. Dave opens the top right drawer of his desk and takes out a slice of swiss cheese, which he shakes temptingly toward Kevin. Dave throws the cheese out into the hall, and after a moment of trying to resist, Kevin goes after it.]
Dave: There, now we can talk. So you were interested in a, uh, full facelift was it?
Mark: No, no. I- I just wanted to have this mole removed.
[Mark points at the mole on his left cheek.]
Dave: Hmm. Well, let me run this past you. What I see for you is one big eye!
Mark: Oh?
Dave: [growing agitated, his voice growing louder] Look, I'm not mad, I'm not mad, I'M NOT MAD!
[Kevin staggers by, squealing, with his hands held up over his ears.]
Mark: Y- y'know, I- I have reason to believe I've mad a mistake, [getting up and going toward the door] I- I think I'll just be going.
Dave: Look, I'm not mad, but I am going mad, so there is a discount.
Mark: [stopping in the doorway] How much of a discount?
Dave: Well, I'm sure we could come to something, uh --
[Kevin enters, throwing Mark aside and into the door.]
Kevin: I just saw my reflection in the water dish. You've made me a freak!
Dave: Run! Save yourself!
[Mark runs out of the office. Kevin climbs over Dave's desk and lunges at him, grabbing at his shoulders and shaking him.]
Dave: No! No!
Kevin: You've played God once too often, and now you're going to meet God!
[Kevin throws Dave to the floor behind the desk. We hear loud, wet chewing noises. After a moment, the noises stop and Kevin stands in a threatening pose, with blood around his mouth and on his fingers. The words "TO BE CONTINUED..." appear on the screen, and police sirens can be heard in the background. The words disappear, and a cop enters the office. The cop shoots Kevin, and Kevin slumps into a chair, dead. "THE END" appears on the screen.]

In July, the University of Bremen will host Prof. Eve Chiapello for two events. Chiapello is a renowned sociologist and currently research director at L'École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. Her research focuses on the transformation of capitalism through management tools, valuation, and accounting. In 1999, she published Le nouvel Ésprit du Capitalisme (English: The New Spirit of Capitalism) together with Luc Boltanski, a work systematically analyzing managerial literature from the 1960s and 1990s to detect a shift in the ethos of capitalist society. This book has become something like a moden classic in sociology. More recently, Chiapello´s work has turned to the manifold dynamics of financialization. In a joint research project with scholars at the University of Hamburg, Chiapello, for instance, explores the "financialization of valuation and public policies".
In Bremen, she will give a talk on "The Financialization of Public Policies" within the BIGSSS lectures series (5 July). Moreover, she will be guest at a "Politics & Finance Seminar" of our research group on "Devices, Conventions and the Study of Neoliberalism" (6 July). In this seminar, we will discuss her recent article "Critical accounting research and neoliberalism". As a kick-off for our discussion, Martin Nonhoff (InIIS) will comment the paper. If you want to participate in the seminar, please contact s.moeller[at]uni-bremen.de.
Overview of the two events
- 05.07.2017: Eve Chiapello (EHESS Paris): "The Financialization of Public Policies" (BIGSSS Lecture), 16.15-17.45, Room 7.2210 (InIIS)
- 06.07.2017: Eve Chiapello (EHESS Paris), Workshop: "Devices, Conventions, and the Study of Neoliberalism", 10-12h, Room 7.2210 (InIIS)

I didn't really hear someone came in on a higher level, but when the cold hand touched my arm I jumped. But I had heard them gasp and come in. I had changed the pattern around me to avoid anyone else. I heard a soft voice but the blood rushing through my ears and the fury in my blood was still making it hard to hear. The fire popped out of existance with a low whine.
"Nox…" a soft voice said as I came back to the real world. "You okay?"
I looked down at the hand on my arm and then up at the face attached to the arm and frowned. My purpled haired first was looking back at me like she cared what happened to me. My inability to answer prompted her to pull me towards the chair. "Sit down." She started fussing over my vitals and my eyes and I blinked at her.
"I'm fine. I was just upset."
"You don't ever lose control." She said as she continued to fuss over me.
"I didn't lose control. I just got lost in it – on purpose."
"What's wrong? Why?" She asked as she knelt down in front of me looking up at me with a pair of purple tinted eyes I knew were blue. What was it with blue eyes I found so attractive? Where those visions why?
I sighed and shook my head. "I felt played with, is all."
"Who would be stupid enough to play with you? I mean other than Aaron and his goons." She smiled up at me.
