Esteban We were able to take a step forward
The pilot Force India Esteban Windows in the practice of the Brazilian Grand Prix showed the 7th result.Esteban Windows "I'm happy today. This morning the car was not in the best condition, but we made a big step forward during the second practice. Now the car feels much better, so that is another good work from the team that made the right decisions throughout the day. We need to continue to improve tomorrow and hopefully we will be able to fight for the finals of qualification.To work on the track was very hard physically because it was so hot and humid, a bit like Singapore. I wasn't expecting it, and it was one of the worst days this year".

On result of the power outage is that Squarespace employees have been hauling diesel up 17 flights of stairs to power the generators at our datacenter downtown; more details here, here, here, and many other places a google search away.

Throughout the phone or personal meeting, make certain to ask if they joined any type of sort of personal training camp, which certifications they have, and also how much training experience they have. Never ever select a personal fitness trainer that has no formal training or accreditation! All physical conditioning professionals will have some type of official training in addition to will certainly enjoy speaking about it with you. When handling your health and wellness, the bargain deal is not one of the most efficient options. Be wary of fitness instructors that use their solutions at an unusually reduced price cut as compared with their peers. This Personal Trainer for the most part, is relatively inexperienced or simply generally is not a high adequate caliber to protect a clientele base.
Nonetheless, the reverse is true additionally one of one of the most costly is not always one of the most effective or most efficient trainers. In the physical conditioning market you do not always get simply what you pay for. Pick a personal fitness trainer that bills a practical rate for their services yet is not necessarily affordable not too expensive, not additionally reduced. Every consumer is various therefore are every trainer you must have a fantastic gauge of their personality throughout the first examination. Similarly, be sure to inquire about their specific training style. If you are intending to shed a few added pounds to look excellent in your swimwear this summertime season, a 'invaded out bodybuilder is not always the greatest selection for you.

1. Chrono Trigger – In my opinion, this game has no flaws: Beautiful art style, engaging storyline, great soundtrack.
2.Final Fantasy III – Also known as Final Fantasy VI in Japan, this game is one of the best of the series and features complex branching plotlines and fantastic music.
3. Super Mario RPG – This game added a ton of depth to the Mario Universe and gave real personalities to Mario characters that had never been given dialogue before. This game is filled with charm and it's a must-have for Mario fans.
4. Earthbound – Also known as Mother 2 in Japan. This is a strange, quirky, and funny rpg that sold very poorly in the US at launch. The strength of this game is its brilliantly written dialogue and its surrealistic atmosphere.
5. Secret of Mana – This action rpg features a deep magic system and a very memorable soundtrack.
I know there are a ton more that didn't make my list (and btw I personally don't classify A Link to the Past as an rpg, which is why I didn't include it)

Cancel or Skip a Transaction
An important and intentional feature of the XRP Ledger is that a transaction is final as soon as it has been incorporated in a validated ledger.
However, if a transaction has not yet been included in a validated ledger, you can effectively cancel it by rendering it invalid. Typically, this means sending another transaction with the same
Sequence value from the same account. If you do not want the replacement transaction to do anything, send an AccountSet transaction with no options.
For example, if you try to submit 3 transactions with sequence numbers 11, 12, and 13, but transaction 11 gets lost somehow or does not have a high enough transaction cost to be propagated to the network, then you can cancel transaction 11 by submitting an AccountSet transaction with no options and sequence number 11. This does nothing (except destroying the transaction cost for the new transaction 11), but it allows transactions 12 and 13 to become valid.
This approach is preferable to renumbering and resubmitting transactions 12 and 13, because it prevents transactions from being effectively duplicated under different sequence numbers.
In this way, an AccountSet transaction with no options is the canonical "no-op " transaction.

BT, My Next Stop
Attrition is not uncommon at times such as now when the job market is buoyant and opportunities abound across the board, across all industries. But you do not expect that to happen at Cisco Systems, a company that is ranked among the best places to work for.
This, nonetheless, is a reality that is beginning to bite Cisco. The real danger lies in losing hard-to-hire people. There is no question I loved working for Cisco. In fact, my first three years were fantastic and I received multiple forms of recognition and awards. Even a few months ago, I won the Golden Globe award.
To sound even more arrogant, I can say rather assertively that I leave behind an imprint arising from the impact I made on sales teams across the Asia-Pacific region on bids that resulted in several strategic wins for Cisco during the five years I held bid management reins.
It is natural for us to experience an emotional upsurge when it is time for farewell. I was not and am not immune to it. But when we know we are not headed in the right direction, it will be inane to keep treading down the same path.
Was it Intelligence or Complacence?: When an employee at Cisco resigns to take up a job with a competitor, he is let go the same day. That did not happen to me as I was not joining competition, rather a partner (BT – British Telecom). But I had reason to be puzzled as when I handed in my resignation, I was not asked where I was headed to. So, I had to serve out the full month's notice and this, to me, meant Cisco already knew I was not joining competition.
If so, the intelligence mechanism they are employing must be powerful as only on my last working day at Cisco did I tell some that I was joining BT. Scanning my laptop and bugging my calls may have been some of the tactics they adopted.
If this is not the case, it can be an indication that Cisco has stopped worrying about where its resigning employees are going to. I guess this can be alarming as this kind of complacence can spell trouble for the company.
There are many factors that led to my resignation, but it was not an impulsive one. I mulled over it for two years before deciding to throw in the towel. Here are some reasons:
· Professional satisfaction was on the wane: Strategies were beginning to get discounted and tactical plays were in focus. I was simply not content with dotting the "i's" and crossing the "t's".
· A corporate unwillingness to accept flaws in the decision-making process: In other words, dissent was not just discouraged but also retaliated against. That said, I must add that I did win the Golden Globe award and a CAP (Cisco Achievement Program) award during FY 2009. Good enough recognition but some issues I raised were not addressed.
· Excessive lip service: Company not practising what it was preaching – work-life balance, for instance (I was consistently working 18 hours a day, only to be told that better time management will help fix that! The right approach will have been adopting a stringent qualification process or strengthening the team)
– People Management: No leader is needed to manage just a few people, particularly if they have no other task to fulfill. Companies need doers, not mere people managers, particularly when there is a huge pile of work to be executed. Bad managers will only contribute to attrition.
Rigid Hiring Process: Cisco has a rigid hiring process to enable the hiring of only the very best in the industry. I had to go through 11 interviews (followed by a background check that was outsourced to an external agency) over six months before I could come on board.
That is not to say that all hiring is fair. I am told there was internal resentment sometime ago when the company hired a senior executive from Avaya – someone who had reportedly been fired by a couple of companies earlier. This, I hear, led to seven people quitting Cisco to join competition. That's a serious loss of talent, particularly when they can create havoc for the company from a rival camp.
Individual whimsicality leading to foul hiring may be common at other companies, but when that happens at Cisco it cannot be expected to resonate well among the staff. It should, therefore, be no surprise that Cisco is already falling behind in the list of best places to work for.
The good thing is that Cisco is beginning to take the attrition rates and the underlying reasons seriously. When I sent an email to CEO John Chambers and the global head of HR (SVP), listing the reasons I was leaving for, it elicited immediate responses from them, promising a thorough investigation. The SVP even called me from San Jose to convey his assurance.
I had made up my mind by then and was in no mood to retract. I am now all set to join BT and am already excited about my role there – driving bid management in South-East Asia and, where possible, NE Asia. These regions have no bid manager yet, so I will be the first. My preliminary interactions with them have been very positive. They have a bid management centre of excellence in London and the team is growing. That is a recognition of the value bid management teams lend to their business.
I will miss the friends I made at Cisco though there is no reason why we cannot be in touch. It is, after all, a connected world, enabled by the Ciscoic view of "the network as a platform" for everything in life.
BT, here I come!

Having been providing Santa Barbara limos and party buses for over twenty years, we've also transported numerous campers to campgrounds around the county. We are a best rated limo service also offering unique wine-tasting tours to vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County and Southern California. Why not style up your camping trip by adding limousine services? These are our best picks for "Top Campgrounds in Santa Barbara County"!
Beach Camping
Various beaches in and around Santa Barbara offer overnight tent camping. We've had clients booking limousines for campouts at Carpinteria-, El Capitan-, Refugio- and Gaviota State Beaches. These beaches are visited by limos and party buses for a variety of different reasons, some come here for surfing, while others come here to do wedding photography. Carpinteria State Beach might be the most scenic and offers over 240 campgrounds, many of them by the sea. There are also tours available here of the nearby Salt Marsh, a Carpinteria landmark. Gaviota is a sandy cove sheltered by Point Conception, 30 miles west of town, and is famous for its hiking trails. El Captain and Refugio are relatively close to one-another, but our choice would be El Captain, which sits further away from the highway and offers nearly 140 campsites. Beach camping can also be done at Jalama Beach County Park, one of our limousine clients' favorites. Here you can enjoy pristine coastal areas and wide camping sites. This beach rarely gets daily visitors, so campers mostly get the beach and campground to themselves.
Mountain- & Forest Camping
Inland Santa Barbara isn't just home to acres and acres of wine country, but also prime camping grounds, beautiful forests and surrounding mountains. If you are looking for remoteness, check out Cuyama Valley, maybe the county's most underrated and secluded region. Here you can camp at Aliso Park Campground in New Cuyama, CA, nestled in an oak forest just below the mountains. There's also a beautiful year-round creek nearby, abundant wildlife and numerous hiking trails. Closer to town, you can get a limousine rental to one of the many campgrounds along Santa Ynez River. Fremont, Sage Hill, Paradise and Los Prietos are few miles apart, and best of all, just a 30-minute drive from town! The Santa Ynez wine country is also home Upper Oso Campground, yet another camp ideal for fishing, hiking and lake swimming. For a campground separated from others and with beautiful nearby creeks and hiking trails, see Sage Hill Campground. We've had limousine rentals stop by here at numerous occasions, oftentimes prior or after a wine tour of Santa Ynez.
Lake- & Island Camping
Alternatively, why not venture out to Channel Islands National Park for an overnight island camp? Several of California Channel Islands offers secluded camping, including Santa Rosa-, Santa Cruz- and San Miguel Islands. While Island Packers offers one day-trip to San Miguel Island in 2017, there are several overnight tours here in 2017. So why not get a limo to the harbor and cross the channel for an island camping trip?
Why not combine your day in wine country with a campout? Another popular place for camping is by Cachuma Lake, not far from where we do wine tours in the Santa Ynez Valley. Cachuma Lake Recreation Area offers the county's best lake camping with numerous sites along the lakeside. Two popular nearby camps are Live Oak- and Circle V Ranch Campgrounds by the Santa Ynez River. Alternatively, check out Mono Campground in the wetlands surrounding Gibraltar Reservoir. This camp may not be by a lake, but sits along Mono Creek wetlands in the Los Padres National Forest.
Check Also Out: 6 Best Things To Do in Carpinteria, California!
So what's the county's best camping spots? Well, that all depends on who you ask. For beaching, head south to Carpinteria State Beach or venture north to Jalama Beach County Park. Prefer isolated forest camping? Visit the secluded Aliso Park Campground with spacious sites and a beautiful setting. Rather into lake camping? Your best choice would probably be Cachuma Lake Recreation Area.
For whatever reason you're searching for a limousine in Santa Barbara, let a limo rental from us get you there in style and safety. Besides the traditional stretch limo transportations, we also specialize in local wine tours, city tours, airport transfers and party bus rentals. A limo service can be used for so much! Whether for a wedding or big day celebration, or just for a romantic side-trip to the campgrounds.

Jane Addams Senior Housing Bill of Rights
CURL worked with the Jane Addams Senior Caucus to develop the Jane Addams Senior Housing Bill of Rights. The project spanned 12 months and engaged over 250 seniors in a participatory process to identify key concerns and solutions in senior housing in Chicago.
CURL assisted Jane Addams leaders conduct 12 Listening Sessions with seniors to identify key concerns. At these sessions, seniors named affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, accessible transportation, and quality health care as essential aspects of aging with dignity.
Additionally, five focus groups with seniors who live in senior housing focused on building management. Seniors in these focus groups identified management harassment/disrespect, lack of services in senior buildings, inconsistent building rule enforcement, and lack of accountability as main concerns with management.
Data was also collected through research meetings with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Heartland Housing, as well as an overview of existing senior building management laws.
Leaders of the Jane Addams Housing Justice committee are advocating that HUD require all HUD-funded buildings to publicly post a complaint number that residents can call if management acts irresponsibly and are requesting HUD increase resident participation in the building management review process;
Jane Addams leaders will be developing future demands to advance the Senior Housing Bill of Rights; and organizers at Jane Addams will continue to help senior buildings form tenant councils, which give residents much more power to hold their management accountable.

2009 was a year in transition for both myself and Cube Rules. The Cube Rules site added a bunch of products to help people succeed in their jobs. Plus, there are now some 900 articles available for people to search in the free article areas.
Personally, my family and I have moved across the country, finally completing the last of the unpacking in the last part of December. It's like the entire month of December was executing fifty projects to get the move done and complete.
Through all of 2009, a constant was the support of my friends and family, both online and in person. To all of you, my heartfelt thanks.
Finally, thanks to the customers, clients, and readers of Cube Rules. I am truly motivated to help you succeed in your jobs and careers. In this tough job environment, I hope that I have helped you find the next job, succeed in your current one, or know when it is time to move on to the next job.
A toast, tonight, for your success in 2010!
And thanks.
Cheers to 2010, indeed! Now that you're in Madison, we'll have to set up a time to get together. I've so enjoyed keeping up with your blog and look forward to all your wisdom in the New Year!

text: Right here goes. Started the initial artwork for the Etch Brass version of this new kit this morning. The first thing I did was have a good look at the variations between the loco's to see if I would need one or two body shells. I've found, with some careful design, I can use one body shell. You'll see how and why as the kit progresses. Then I decide what material will go where and it will be roughly the same as the Class 24/25's. So, it will be mainly etch brass with white metal canopy's, resin fuel tanks and cab interior. The bogie will have a removable internal chassis with whitemetal cast sides. With NBL projects I have copies of the works drawings, with the 24/25's I had measurements I had taken myself some years ago. With this project I have scaled down GA's and actual measurements I took of 27 066 Now I can create the outline plan in the 2d CAD for the etch artwork which I can now export directly over to the 3d software saving considerable time and ensuring accuracy. I'm not above making cock-up's - there's one or two in every kit so if anyone see's something feel free to shout!

NME.COM' s representative is one of the chosen few to hear a selection of tracks from the provisionally-titles 'Chemical Four'...
The CHEMICAL BROTHERS premiered a selection of new material at the second of their highly exclusive 'GLINT' parties last Saturday night (December 16).
At the party, which took place at the bar El Dorado's in West London,Tom and Ed unveiled a number of new tracks – including one which has been circulated on white label to a few key DJs under the working title 'Balearic Techno'.
NME.COM was at the party, and can reveal the new material premiered sounded less trancey than some of the tracks on previous album 'Surrender', with extra emphasis on the percussion to give a more tribal edge. However, the material still retains the pair's signatory production sound.
The dance duo's set was similar to the one performed at the recent Bugged Out! Weekender, and included a new remix of acid house classic 'Smokebelch' by The Sabres Of Paradise, Hatiras current club smash 'Spaced Invader' and the now-timeless 'Jaguar' by DJ Rolando.
NME.COM understands this was intended to be the last 'Glint' for the immediate future. As previously revealed on NME.COM, the pair are now concentrating on recording their fourth album, which is going under the working title 'Chemical 4'.

HARRISBURG-- Rep. Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery) joined his colleagues on the House Aging and Older Adult Services Committee to unanimously support a bill that would permit schools to reduce property taxes for seniors who volunteer at local schools.
House Bill 273 would create the Senior Tax Reduction Incentive Volunteer Exchange Program to help those on fixed incomes earn credits toward their property tax bills by volunteering at local schools in their districts. Volunteer activities could include reading to young children, or speaking about life experiences such as military service and various careers.
"Our seniors have so much to offer our students," Stephens said. "This is an innovative way to help our seniors struggling to pay rising property taxes and the students who could benefit from those seniors who have so much life experience to share."
Under the plan, each district would determine the hourly rate for the tax credits in exchange for mentoring and other services that enhance the students' academic experience.
"As a new father, it's clear to me how much my son benefits from his grandparents now and can easily see how he would benefit from other seniors in our community if they were to volunteer in our schools. This is a win-win for our students and our seniors and I hope this bill moves quickly through the legislature," explained Stephens.

New York, Apr 09, 2013
No one enjoys the tense, overwhelmed feeling that comes with too much stress, but the fast-paced nature of modern life means that virtually everyone has suffered at least temporarily from an overload of stress. High stress levels can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and many other illnesses, making stress relief a key component of emotional and physical health. Since 1991, the Health Resource Network (HRN) has sponsored the annual celebration of Stress Awareness Month each April, in order to educate the public on stress, its dangers, and effective coping methods. In connection with this goal, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is proud to support the development of standards related to popular stress-relieving activities.
Getting a massage can be an effective stress reliever, especially if you work doing heavy labor or in a physically stressful field. IEC 60335-2-32 Ed. 4.1 b:2008, Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-32: Particular requirements for massage appliances, provides safety guidelines for the use of many types of home electric massagers, including handheld massagers, as well as for massage belts, pads, chairs, and beds. The standard was developed by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) TC 61, Safety of household and similar electrical appliances. Secretariat duties for TC 61 are performed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an ANSI member and audited designator. UL also serves as the U.S. National Committee (USNC)-approved U.S. TAG Administrator to TC 61.
While the old cliché that laugher is the best medicine doesn't apply in most cases – try finding a physician who will prescribe comedy to treat gout or a bleeding ulcer! – laughter is thought to have stress-fighting powers, making an evening spent at home watching your favorite sitcom a smart way to de-stress after a difficult day. ANSI member the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) has developed a standard, ATIS-0100502.2005(R2010), System M-NTSC Television Signals - Network Interface Specifications and Performance Parameters, that defines performance parameters and other values for television transmission service channel supporting 525-line, system M-NTSC color monochrome video and related audio signals.
By supporting these and other methods of stress release, standards help individuals manage stress throughout Stress Awareness Month and all year long.

How to Repair Drywall Water Damage
by: Dale Cox
When water leaks onto drywall it can cause minor damage like stains on the paint finish; very severe damage like bulging in the wallboard; or some degree of damage in between such as bubbling joint compound and peeling tape and paint.
How to Repair Minor Water Damage
Use setting-type joint compound, or mud, for water damage repairs to drywall. Ready-mixed compound will not be hard enough and it's vulnerable to any residual moisture in the wall material.
Remove bubbling joint compound and paint using a putty knife to scrape off all the damaged material. Remove peeling joint tape by cutting it free. Trace the tape back to just outside the damaged area and cut straight across it with a drywall knife. Pull the loose tape off and scrape away any loose joint compound.
Brush or vacuum away the scraping dust and prime all the affected wallboard with primer-sealer to block stains and seal the surface. Let the primer dry completely before replacing missing tape and patching.
When the sealer is dry, repair any surface roughness and damage using this bubbling paint repair process. Re-tape any exposed drywall seams with fiberglass mesh joint tape and use these crack repair techniques to cover and finish the taped seams.
How to Repair Major Water Damage
When exposed to a lot of water, drywall tends to warp as the gypsum swells. When it dries, the gypsum may harden into a bulging wall or ceiling surface. This bulging gypsum will tend to be harder than before it got wet. This will be true of plaster with gypsum board lath also. Bulging gypsum like this will always need to be cut out and replaced to restore a flat surface.
Draw a square around the damage and cut out the affected drywall. Trace the nearest existing drywall seams and wood framing to guide your cut. Using the existing layout of the drywall will give you framing to attach the replacement piece and make it easier to cut the hole square.
Use a drywall saw to cut across the areas over hollow wall and a drywall knife to score the drywall over wood framing.
Score repeatedly with a sharp blade until you cut completely through the gypsum and backing paper. Remove any screws or nails holding the drywall up and pull the damaged area free.
Scrape off all damaged wall material surrounding the new hole and prime the whole area with a primer/sealer.
Cut a new piece of drywall of the same thickness and fit it into the space. Match the edges of the patching piece to the surrounding drywall edges. For example, if the drywall edges around the square hole are open with the gypsum core visible, cut the patch with open edges to match. This will prevent an uneven joint where the two meet.
With gypsum board plaster, use a slightly thinner piece of drywall to patch it. This will place it a little below the surrounding surface allowing room to build up over the patch with joint compound and restore a matching smooth surface.
Tape the joints around the new piece of drywall with mesh tape and apply a first coat of mud using the techniques for finishing drywall seams. If the new patch is level with the surrounding surface, finish the seams as described. Let the repair dry completely and sand it smooth. Wipe away the sanding dust and seal the whole repair with primer/sealer. When the sealer dries, touch up the paint.
If the patching drywall is below the surrounding finished surface because you're dealing with gypsum board plaster, apply the tape so it follows the contour of the seam and sticks flat to each surface. Then apply a thick coat of mud to the seams and skim off the excess working across the tape to smooth it out onto both surfaces. Use light pressure to avoid pulling the tape off, but press hard enough to leave only a thin covering. Let the mud set and level out the uneven joint in the next step.
When the seams dries, apply a coat of mud to level out the patch. On large areas, use a slow acting setting compound like Durabond90® to give yourself time to work. Use a broad joint knife to apply a thick coat of mud that fills in over the drywall patch and overlaps the surrounding surface.
Immediately skim the excess mud from the patch to level it. Use a straight edge like a 1x3 long enough to span the whole repair and skim off the excess mud. Rest the board on the surrounding surface and draw it across the patch, stopping to remove the collected mud as you go.
Work across the patch to smooth out the surface. Around the perimeter, use the joint knife to blend the mud with the surrounding surface. If necessary, go over the wet mud a second time with the straight edge to smooth out any missed spots. Ignore minor voids or ridges in the mud coat, they will be filled in the next application.
Finishing Gypsum Board Plaster
Let the mud set for about an hour and scrape off any protrusions using the joint knife. Don't try to completely smooth out the surface here, just knock off any peaks or ridges in the mud. When the edges of the repair turn white, lightly sand there. Brush off the dust and wipe the surface with a damp rag to remove any joint compound residue.
Apply a thick coat of mud over the whole patch again, overlapping the edges of the previous coat. Immediately skim the excess mud off using the joint knife. Make parallel strokes across the patch using firm pressure with the knife. Ignore any ridges left by the edge of the blade, you will scrape them off when the mud sets.
Let the mud set and use the joint knife to shave off any ridges in the surface. If necessary, lightly sand to smooth around the edges and wipe off the dust. Use this process to apply as many subsequent mud coats as needed to build up a smooth surface over gypsum board plaster.
With each coat, skim in the opposite direction from the one before. If you skimmed vertically, apply the next with horizontal strokes. Reversing direction like this with each application will help eliminate any ripples or uneven surface.
Always overlap the edges of the previous coat of mud and skim it out as thin as possible around the perimeter to make final sanding easier. Allow the final coat of mud to set and dry completely before final sanding.
Sanding the Patch
Sand the dry joint compound lightly with 120 sandpaper. Tear a 8x11 inch sheet in half to form two 8x5½ inch pieces. Fold one of the pieces in half and hold it with the fold away from you. Fan out your fingers to apply even pressure and use a light touch. Start on one side of a repair and sand in wide arching strokes to gradually smooth out imperfections.
Be careful sanding around the edges of patches on drywall. The sandpaper can dig in and tear the paper surface while you're trying to smooth out rough edges. Lightly sand across the edges to feather a smooth transition between the two surfaces.
Brush all dust from the surface and wipe with a damp rag before priming and painting. If you are using flat latex finish paint, you can use it to prime the repair. If you are using semi-gloss or other shiny paint, prime with flat latex or a latex primer first.

Has RvP really betrayed Arsenal and will Theo or Alex be next?/
By Avenell Dave
I'm amazed.
I really am amazed.
The feeling of total betrayal and uproar at the sale of Robin Van Persie to M*nure is a complete shock to me.
Think about it.
If we had signed a 29 year old for more than £20m, regardless of their injury record, everyone would think we were mad, desperate or both.
The fact is, RvP's injury record is poor and that's why the giants of Europe were not banging down the door to sign him.
In the end it came down to a straight decision between M*nure and Citeh - who offered to fly him to training so I hear when his wife kicked off about moving north.
Those who want to convince themselves that RvP left for money, go ahead, well done...jog on.
Arsenal may not be the biggest payers in the world but money was not the reason here.
The Gunners remain a work in progress and the continual evolution has become frustrating to a player who is running out of years to win trophies.
Citeh have a strong squad but with so many quality strikers already, RvP wouldn't be first choice, whereas he will be with Shrek at M*nure.
Remeber, while their squad isn't great, M*nure only lost the title with the last kick of the season from Aguero.
Have Arsene Wenger and Ivan Gazidis betrayed us for selling our star player to a rival? Not at all.
What a great piece of business and how fantastic that we can move on without waiting until deadline day.
WIth an IPO that arguably failed and continuing controversy, this looks like a great signing for M*nure and their owners the Glazers, but only one season above 20 goals says it all.
Do you really think the club didn't know weeks ago that RvP was definitely off?
Our new German Number 10 has been waiting patiently until his Dutch colleague moved on and he could have his favoured shirt. The club hardly made a secret of it.
Rumours are getting stronger that Alex Song will be off too (and if we get more than £15m for him, what great business!) while question marks still remain over Marmite Theo Walcott.
I'm convinced we'll make at least two more big signings, maybe more if AA23 leaves as well and even now, I feel we're stronger than last season.
Time will tell but if ever Le Boss wanted to get one over his Glaswegian rival, I really think we'll see him have the last laugh on this piece of business.

FOCUS The vernacular press in West Bengal is all charged up because BJP stalwarts have promised to deport Bangladeshis if the party comes to power at the Centre. Front page articles and editorials have all denounced this as a move to foment trouble in the state and create divisions between communities. Narendra Modi and Rajnath Singh have become villains in the eyes of this section of the media. Those who are indulging in such commentary have either not understood what the BJP wants to do, or are twisting the remarks to create controversy.
The issue of illegal immigration from Bangladesh is changing the demography of West Bengal and the earlier the country wakes up to the fact, the better for it. Compassion can never be an issue across borders unless persecution in the country of origin is decisively proved. Then, too, immigration may be allowed only on the merits of the case. Here, India is facing a situation where immigration is taking place unhindered and without reports of large scale persecution in Bangladesh.
Further, most of those who are entering India illegally are from the majority community in Bangladesh. So the question of escaping from persecution does not arise. They are escaping from lack of economic opportunity and India cannot allow itself to bear the burden of such people. It has enough of its own to look after. But the vote bank blinkers donned by parties in West Bengal does not allow them to take a harder pro-India stand on the issue.
Narendra Modi has unequivocally said that for him, the country is the religion and the Constitution is the Holy Book. He has time and again said that solutions to all problems facing the country will be found by strictly adhering to the constitution. His record also does not show any instances where he has tried to subvert the constitution.
So when he says that he will deport Bangladeshis, how do people infer that he is talking about all those who have migrated to India since 1947? That is not legally possible and no one can attempt to do that. Even those who migrated after the 'Nehru-Liaquat Agreement' of 1950 have legal sanction and cannot be deported. Those who migrated as a result of the Bangladeshi liberation war are covered under international agreements on displaced persons and refugees.
India had allowed them to settle and earn their living in the country, even giving them concessions like non-transferable housing land at low cost (as in refugee colonies in Kolkata and other places of West Bengal). Most of them have become Indian citizens through naturalization with their children having acquired Indian citizenship by birth and that fact is indisputable.
But if someone makes out a case for retaining those who are entering India illegally since then, no right thinking Indian will tolerate it. Taking advantage of a porous border and corrupt security forces, illegal Bangladeshi immigrants have been entering India in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura. One only has to visit the border areas in these states to confirm this. Unscrupulous agents, backed by political parties out to create a vote bank, get them everything from ration cards, voter identification cards and driving licenses.
Backed by these documents, if they do not find livelihood in the area, these illegal immigrants are going to places such as Delhi, Mumbai and the rest of the country. They work mainly as farm labour, vehicle drivers, industrial labour, masons, construction workers and goldsmiths. Their spouses do household work for middle class families.
Sometimes entire families migrate while at other times, the earning male member migrates and sends back money to Bangladesh by the hawala route. He saves enough to buy a piece of land somewhere and brings in his entire family clandestinely. Some people even enter India as day labourers and go back in the evening. This is not something out of a C-grade Bollywood film. It is happening everyday on the Bangladesh border.
On examining census figures in West Bengal (see chart), it is clear that in both the periods, 1981-1991 and 1991-2001, the jump in Muslim population in the state was much higher (almost 6% higher) than the jump in Muslim population on an all India basis. It did not mean that the West Bengal Muslims were procreating more. It simply meant that their ranks were swelling due to continued illegal immigration from Bangladesh. We have to keep in mind that the first period under review is from ten years after the 1971 war and up to twenty years later.
That means that these immigrants were not those who India had so graciously accommodated as displaced persons and refugees. These were just plain criminals breaking international laws by paying a price. The situation in Assam was even worse during this period. When the census figures were released, there was much hue and cry all over the country. This scared the agents who brought them in. But the illegal immigration continued unabated. Only the strategy of settling them in West Bengal and Assam was changed.
When we examine the figures for the period 1991-2001, we see a marked drop in the rise in Muslim population as compared to the all India figure. While in the previous decade the difference was nearly 6 percent, it had come down to just 2.5 percent in this decade. So did illegal immigration started to peter out? No, it was continuing with abandon. Only, now the immigrants were not being settled in West Bengal or Assam to escape detection in the census.
They were being sent to Delhi, Maharashtra and Kerala, among other states. This tirade about "all Bengali speaking people are not Bangladeshis" is old hat. Even we know that. But to give shelter to Bangladeshis under this pretext will not do. If we have the welfare of the country in our heart, Bengalis themselves should take the lead in identifying and helping in deporting illegal immigrants from Bangladesh who are a menace to the country in more ways than one.
If proof was required than it could not have come from a better apolitical source than the Chief of the Indian Army. Speaking at a seminar organized by a think tank as currently as in February 2014, General Bikram Singh said that "the problem of illegal migration in Bangladesh has led to demographic changes in the northeast.
It has led to serious internal security challenges in Assam." The same is true for West Bengal. He further said that it is a matter of grave concern and a threat to national security. If political parties resist the move to stop this illegal influx and that to identify and deport those already here, then they are doing a great disservice to the nation, all for a tiny vote bank.

New Jury Rules Could Sway Trial Verdicts
|Photo: Reuters
Like the Simpson trial, the Anthony jury's verdict left most Americans scratching their heads, wondering about the state of the criminal justice system in America, and in their local community. Unlike the Simpson case, however, the Orlando, FL trial was placed on the fast-track and, fortunately for everyone, the judge delivered.
In the Anthony case, the accused mother was acquitted of all murder charges, but convicted on four counts of lying to the police. She has been incarcerated for about two years; she could get maxed-out on Thursday to 4-years (a year for each count), with credit for time served. Her out date could be weeks, or even days away.
Tuning-in to the trial while grinding around town tending to my own clients, I was first struck by the possibility of an acquittal when the prosecutor's case in chief was taking two days to clear a so-called "expert" on foul odors; apparently captured in special containers for later sampling. They had experts on top of experts.
The jury, filled with non-Orlando out-of-towners, made the prosecution pay. When she earns a 7-figure income next year, Ms. Anthony will be sticking it in all our faces.
Meanwhile, in September, Michigan begins a probationary period for a series of innovative new court rules. These rules, designed to encourage more detailed juror involvement and participation in a case, may have changed the Anthony verdict. Click here for a detailed discussion of the specific changes.
One of the primary innovations is the ability of jurors to discuss the case among themselves and to ask their own questions of the witnesses, as the proofs are going in. In a huge case like Casey Anthony, you have to wonder if the new rules would make a difference in the outcome if the case was to be tried here in Michigan.
If I had to guess, I would think most Casey Anthony jurors would attest to their frustration spending half the summer listening to a parade of junk scientists. Jurors have fine antennae for junk science.
In the end, all the junk scientists in the world could not overcome the fatal flaws in this case: lack of a cause of death; and the all-in gamble of a first degree murder theory.
Here is a great take on this trial by Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz.

Long before Donald Trump appeared on the scene, Iranian leaders were concerned that the United States might lack a lasting commitment to a nuclear agreement. Almost every Republican presidential hopeful promised to rip up any deal. The Iranians were listening to the growing rhetoric coming out of the US, as the election grew closer.
In my bilateral meetings with Javad Zarif, Iran's Foreign Minister, and his predecessor, we talked occasionally about what might happen if Americans elected an anti-agreement president. The subject would also come up when John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, and I met the Iranian team.

Lembo has a strong background with programs at schools with high academic standards.
Pete Lembo is leaving Maryland to become Rice's new special teams coordinator and associate head coach, the same roles he held with the Terrapins, a source told SI. Maryland ranked 11th in the nation with four blocked kicks last season and fifth in 2016 with five blocked kicks. The year before Lembo was hired away from Ball State, the Terps didn't block any kicks.
A Georgetown grad with a strong background at schools with high academic standards, the 47-year-old Lembo figures to be a big asset to new Owls head coach Mike Bloomgren, who had spent the past five seasons as Stanford's offensive coordinator. Over 15 years as a head coach at Lehigh, Elon and Ball State before arriving at Maryland, Lembo compiled a 112–65 record.

Aircraft maintenance work backlogged
A backlog of aircraft maintenance work has accumulated at the Air Force's maintenance installations, a product of the frequent overseas deployments, a spokesman acknowledged Monday.
"The Air Logistics centers do have more work than originally planned — predominantly in the Airframe and Engine commodities," wrote Air Force spokesman Gary T. Strasburg in an e-mail.
The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins Air Force Base is one of the three Air Force maintenance depot installations. The others are Hill Air Force Base near Ogden, Utah, and Tinker Air Force base near Oklahoma City, Okla.
Robins officials contacted through the base public affairs office had no comment on the backlog as of Tuesday afternoon.
Highlighting the urgency of the backlog, the Air Force recently submitted an unfunded priority request to Congress, asking for $337 million in additional funds for maintenance operations.
The military services regularly submit unfunded priority requests — also commonly known as "wish lists" — for programs and operations not funded by the baseline defense budget. The unfunded priority requests are often used by the military to go around the White House's proposed budget to request billions of dollars in appropriated funds from Congress. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently and forcibly pared down the practice.
The 2011 unfunded priority request includes funds for maintenance operations on four A-10 ground attack aircraft and six C-5 cargo aircraft, two of the most frequently deployed aircraft in the Air Force's fleet.
The $337 million request to help fund the maintenance work was listed as the Air Force's top unfunded priority, asking for nearly five times the amount of money as the Air Force's second most pressing unfunded program.
Earlier this month, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., pressed the Air Force's No. 2 general, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Carrol H. Chandler, on the request from his chair on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"I understand that your Air Logistics Centers have a backlog of work and have been challenged to deliver aircraft on schedule back to warfighters, due in part to aircraft coming into the depots requiring more work than they have previously had based on the near continuous use," Chambliss told Chandler.
Chandler confirmed Chambliss' information.
The $337 million request has not yet been approved by Congress.
Robins recently launched a massive hiring push. Last month, the 402nd Maintenance Wing announced that it would hire up to 500 new employees within six to eight months. The other two Air Logistic Centers also are hiring employees to help deal with the backlog, Strasburg said.
