Biemann, Asher D.
It is the most mature insight of recent sociology as a genetic self-discovery of contemporary mankind that the modern culture of the West has moved from community toward society, that a mechanical way of living together has infiltrated and disintegrated the organic way.1 Community is the expression and manifestation of an original, naturally homogeneous, relation-bearing will that represents the totality of mankind; society [is the expression and manifestation] of a differentiated, profit-seeking [will] that is generated by detached thought and removed from the totality [of mankind]. … Community is grown relatedness [Verbundenheit], welded together by common possession (predominantly soil), common work, common customs, common belief; society means regulated segregation, held together externally by force, contract, convention, or public opinion. … The medieval city represents the first in its basic form; the modern mega city, the second. The first is the monumental, dome-like grown attempt "to organize a close-knit association of mutual help and support for consumption and production, and for the entire social life, without, however, binding the individual with the shackles of the state but, rather, under complete protection of the creative expressions of a particular group of individuals."2 The second is but a structured unity in a mechanical light; in truth, a mass of "numerous free individuals who repeatedly come in contact with each other during interaction, who exchange and cooperate without, however, any community and communal will arising in their midst other than a sporadic remnant of an earlier, still lingering condition.3…

I think that the relationship between moral and violent behavior is still overlooked in current philosophical, epistemological, and cognitive studies. To the aim of clarifying the complex dynamics of this interplay, I will describe, adopting an eco-cognitive perspective, the concepts of salience and pregnance (originally introduced by René Thom s' catastrophe theory in semiophysical terms), and the concepts of abduction and affordance (this last one originally proposed by Gibson). Showing the interesting relationships between these four basic concepts I will explain the role of abductive cognition and affordances in building and interpreting pregnances. The main theoretical merit of the concepts of salience and pregnance is that they can be at the same time applied to physical, biological, and cognitive phenomena: it is this wide perspective which grants the possibility of presenting an integrated and systemic theory of the social role of morality and violence. Non human and human animals are endowed with internal hardwired and plastic cognitive capacities but they also continuously delegate and distribute cognitive functions to the environment to lessen their limits. Among these functions the ones devoted to produce moral frameworks in a "plastic" way are central: these activities are basically abductive, they create salient and pregnant moral forms, which are thought to be good to follow but that at the same time afford conflicts, from which violent outcomes can derive. The last part of this article addresses the role of pregnances as linguistic functions which are essential in building that "military intelligence" in which moral and violent behaviors, such as bullying and scapegoating, can be simply and naturally explained, in a unified perspective.
Meroi, Fabrizio
Giordano Bruno is one of the most important philosophers of the Renaissance. His thinking is characterized, on one hand, by a very close relationship with tradition, from which it veers markedly in several essential aspects, but to which it also owes a great debt; on the other hand, it presents some highly original features that, taken together, constitute the mainstay of a new concept of man and a new world view. Bruno's criticism of tradition has three main objectives: Aristotelian philosophy (of which he rejected both the idea of matter as pure power without act, and that of a finite world structured in rigid hierarchies), the Christian religion (in particular several fundamental dogmas, and more generally the passive and defeatist attitude of the faithful who entrust themselves totally to divine will), and humanistic culture itself (of which he primarily rejects the celebration of man, based on an ontological peculiarity that distinguishes man from all other beings). Bruno's thought – also linked in many ways to tradition, especially pre-Socratic philosophy and Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy – is based instead on the idea of matter itself as generator of forms, the primary source of life and of all that exists; on a cosmological vision that conceives of an infinite universe in constant motion; on a concept of man that while not acknowledging any specificity of a substantial nature, exalts his practical skills to the highest degree, the ethical aspects and the civil vocation (also through the development of disciplines such as mnemonics and natural magic); finally, on a concept of religion, able to maintain the unbridgeable distance between the human and the divine, but at the same time, encouraging the formation and preservation of forms of solid and fair society.
Nemeth, Thomas
In this chapter, Solov'ëv develops his thesis that each of the moral foundations—shame, pity and religious feeling—can be examined from three sides: as a virtue, as a rule of action, and as the condition of a certain good. A virtuous person is a person as he or she ought to be. In other words, virtue is the normal, or proper, relation of a person to everything. There are three fundamental virtues in the proper sense, fundamentally expressing a definite and defining quality. All the other so-called virtues are only qualities of the will and forms of action having in themselves no moral determination or constant correlation with the known sphere of what ought to be and therefore may sometimes be virtues, sometimes states of indifference and also sometimes vices. Solov'ëv develops this claim in detail with respect to truthfulness, particularly in contrast to Kant's position.

Taking as reference point Evandro Agazzi's publications on the ethics of science, this contribution discusses the development of ethical reflections on science and technology during the last decades. The article shows that former debates on the ethical liability of science turned to understanding ethical appraisal as a necessary part of scientific and technological projects. Ethics of science is treated not just as moral reflection on scientific activity, its ends, means and consequences, but as one of the fields of science studies, which is involved in the search for answers to the fundamental question "what is science?"
Parthemore, Joel
Recent years have seen a number of competing theories of concepts within philosophy of mind, supplanting the classical definitionist and imagist accounts: among them, Jerry Fodor's Informational Atomism Theory, Jesse Prinz's Proxytypes Theory, and Peter Gärdenfors' Conceptual Spaces Theory (CST). On the whole there has been little empirical investigation into the competing theories' merits; the (limited) empirical investigation of CST offers the one obvious exception. Some theories, such as Informational Atomism, seem almost beyond the possibility of such testing by design. Some philosophers would claim that theories of concepts, by their nature, cannot be tested empirically; and they raise valid concerns. Although I concede that theories of concepts are not open to direct empirical investigation, nonetheless indirect methods can provide strong circumstantial evidence for or against a theory such as CST; and I offer a research plan for doing so. Indeed, I argue that an extension of CST I call the Unified Conceptual Space Theory (UCST) is better placed than the competition when it comes to such testing, not least because it comes with a software application, in the form of a mind-mapping program, as a more-or-less direct translation of the theory into a working computer model. This paper provides the most detailed specification to date of the algorithm underlying the UCST, described in earlier publications as an attempt to move CST in a more algorithmically amenable and therefore, it is hoped, more empirically testable direction. UCST brings all the many widely divergent conceptual spaces discussed in CST together into a single unified "space of spaces" arranged along three axes, where points in the space have both local and distal connections to other points.

It is an honor and a privilege to contribute to this Festschrift celebrating the contributions of H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr., to bioethics over the past four decades. Tris' work has left an indelible mark on the modern field of bioethics that he helped to found. His prolific, highly original, and carefully argued scholarly writings continue to engage and challenge scholars around the globe. His tireless editorship of bioethics journals and books has enabled many hundreds of scholars to publish their own work and has greatly enriched the bioethics literature. His teaching and mentorship of graduate students and junior colleagues have brought scores of talented and dedicated professionals into the field. For all of these contributions, I am very grateful.

The chapter focuses on cases of assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia in relation to the rarely discussed notion of indirect paternalism. Indirect paternalism involves not just a paternalistic intervener and a person whose welfare is supposed to be protected, but also another party, whom I call "assistant." Indirect paternalism interferes with an assistant in order to prevent harm to another person. I will introduce a strategy that paternalists can pursue to justify indirect paternalism. It specifically targets an element of assistance cases, namely the fact that people do not necessarily have a justified claim or entitlement to demand such assistance. To prevent people from providing assistance seems normatively different from preventing a person to do something to herself by her own means. I critically discuss arguments from the goals of medicine and from the conscientious objection. These aspects are not deemed decisive when considering the case of indirect paternalistic intervention. Finally, I argue against the rationale of indirect paternalism by showing that there are at least two situations where it does not succeed. One such situation that undermines the justification of indirect paternalism is present when the offered service is itself harmless, another pertinent situation consists of a person necessarily requiring assistance to be really free. At least in some cases, these very conditions are given when contemplating assistance to die.

The purpose of this chapter is further complete an approach to Point of View (PoV) that could help us to set up a framework of evaluation and comparison. First, I introduce the notion of PoV as access in order to distinguish the model of accessing from other ways to understand PoV and then taking distance from purely relativist approaches. Second, I provide an explanation and development of some important notions introduced for the applicability of PoV. Third, since PoV allow setting a reference frame from where to evaluate the different objects accessed, I offer a comparison within PoV (independently of their different possible bearers). Since objects and states can be differently evaluated from different PoV, these will be considered as different qualitative dimensions of the world and its objects. They will serve as crucial elements of translation between all possible PoV, establishing degrees of comparison when the translation is not completely at hand.

The Lutheran philosopher Cornelius Martini is considered to be the first to teach Aristotelian metaphysics at a Protestant university. The absence of a metaphysica specialis including natural Theology is a prominent feature in Martini's metaphysical outlook as well as his doctrine of the angels and separated souls. Over the question of the relationship between philosophy and theology, he came into dispute with his Helmstedt colleague Daniel Hofmann, a supporter of the double-truth thesis. Among his most important students were Georg Calixtus, Jacob Martini, and Henning Arnisaeus.

Press release from the issuing company
RENZMANN's presentation at the drupa trade show focuses on powerful cleaning and distillation systems that combine eco-friendliness and efficiency.
Monzingen - Shorter print runs and frequent job changes mean that print shops have to wash greater quantities of press components and accessories. That is why many of them are looking for more efficient ways of cleaning ink-carrying press parts. At stand D39 in Hall 16, RENZMANN, a manufacturer of washing machines and distillation units for the graphic arts industry, focuses on optimizing industrial washing processes. RENZMANN presents solutions for a "clean" printing process as well as systems that ensure time- and cost-saving cleaning of press parts.
Reuse printing plates immediately – with the FlexPlateCleaner
The FlexPlateCleaner cleans and dries flexographic printing plates using a fast and highly automated process. The system comes with a patented transport system that allows the speed of the plates to be regulated individually via a manual potentiometer. The contact pressure of the washing rollers is automatically adjusted to the thickness of the plate. After cleaning, the plates are immediately ready for reuse.
A neat solution – the washing machine 3400-e
The next generation of the washing machine model 3400 meets the highest efficiency and safety requirements, for a very competitive price. The explosion-proof and ATEX-compliant machine cleans press parts, ink pans, doctor blades and buckets using spray pipes that oscillate around their longitudinal axis. Short spraying distances and a powerful pump ensure optimal cleaning results. The washing machine 3400-e makes do without any accessories and wins additional points for its robust and maintenance-friendly design.
Active environmental protection – the ROTOmaX-e distillation unit
Climate and immission protection regulations make specific demands on cleaning processes, especially if they involve solvents. The ROTOmaX-e 20 distillation unit has a distillation output between 60 and 120 liters of solvent per hour and achieves an excellent recovery rate of approximately 94 percent. By minimizing the quantity of highly viscous, disposable residue, the unit cuts both disposal and solvent costs and actively contributes to protecting our environment.

When you fly to or from London, where I live, you can see many greenery area from the sky. Although it is the capital city of England, even apart from the famous parks in the central area there are many great woods in London. The further out you go towards suburb, the more woodland there are. There are several woods quite close to where I live as well and I went to one of them at the last weekend for a short walk.
One of my favourite woods near my house is Queen's Wood. According to the council's website 'Queen's Wood is one of the boroughs four Local Nature Reserves and one of four ancient woodland in Haringey. These woods are thought to be the direct descendants of the original "wildwood", which covered most of Britain about five thousand years ago'. That sounds very impressive.
As it's described as an ancient woodland as soon as you step your foot in the wood, most of the ground is covered thickly with tree canopies. They are all native trees such as English oak, beech, hornbeam, midland hawthorn, hazel, mountain ash, field maple, cherry and holly etc.

In the landscape of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), trade is expected to catalyse inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction, and contribute to the promotion of sustainable development.
But what does it entail to policy makers at the national level?
The recent UNCTAD report, "Trading into Sustainable Development", tackles this question.
At the briefing to the UNCTAD member states, international organisations, and civil society, Division on International Trade of UNCTAD presents the key findings from the report. The presentation will be followed by interactive discussions on:
How do we assess complex linkages between trade and the determinants of "inclusive" economic growth and sustainable development?
In the face of possible structural shifts in trading environment, what should be the focus of the public-sector policymakers in ensuring trade's contribution to inclusive economic growth and sustainable development?

Dollar near one-year low as Fed rate increase speculation cools
[NEW YORK] The dollar was little changed after a gauge of the currency fellto the lowest level in almost a year amid speculation that the US won't raise interest rates any time soon.
The US currency has lost ground versus most major peers over the past month as traders lowered expectations for a rate increase by the Federal Reserve in June to 12 per cent.
The greenback slumped against Europe's shared currency on Monday for a sixth day, the longest run of losses since September, after a report showed manufacturing in the US expanded less than forecast.
Persistent weakness dragged the dollar down against the euro for a third straight month in April - its longest losing streak since 2013 - amid signs US policy makers aren't convinced the global and domestic economies can withstand higher borrowing costs. The US has posted disappointing growth data even amid nascent signs of recovery in Europe.
"The Fed is completely out of the picture now for the next few weeks - even with the June meeting, there's got to be a lot of doubt about whether the Fed can raise rates," said Shaun Osborne, chief foreign-exchange specialist at Bank of Nova Scotia in Toronto.

"The dollar has just not done particularly well over the past few weeks as the Fed has moved toward delaying rate hikes, and that's a situation that definitely will continue, certainly for the near term."
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the US currency versus 10 major counterparts, was at 1,155.94 as of 7:45 am in Singapore on Tuesday, after retreating 0.3 per cent to 1,156.29 on Monday, the lowest closing level since May 15.
It slumped 2 per cent last week as the Bank of Japan's inaction coincided with Fed Chair Janet Yellen reiterating she's in no rush to cool the US economy by raising borrowing costs.
The euro fell 0.1 per cent to US$1.1526, retracing some of its 0.7 per cent advance in the previous session, when it touched the highest level since Aug. 26.
Australia's dollar declined 0.1 per cent to 76.60 US cents before the nation's central bank meets Tuesday with markets signaling about a 50 per cent chance policy makers will cut the benchmark interest rate from a record low of 2 per cent. Japanese markets are closed from Tuesday through Thursday for public holidays.
Expectations for higher rates in the US have faded since the Fed's meeting last week. Officials downgraded their assessment of economic growth, even as they emphasized improvement in the labor market and reduced overseas headwinds.
US manufacturing expanded at a slower pace than forecast in April as factories continued to grapple with lax global demand and fallout from a weakened energy industry. The Institute for Supply Management's index barely held above the 50 level that indicates stagnation, falling short of the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists, the Tempe, Arizona-based group's report showed Monday.
By contrast, European data on April 29 showed the economy expanded more than analysts predicted in the first quarter and unemployment declined in March to the lowest since 2011. Markit Economics said Monday that its monthly Purchasing Managers Index for the currency bloc expanded at a faster pace than initially estimated.
"The euro zone is looking in a better shape than it has been in," said Jeremy Stretch, head of foreign-exchange strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in London. The Fed has not given a strong signal that rates will rise sooner rather than later, so investors are looking alternatives, "and the euro by default is making some modest gains," he said.
The dollar is forecast to strengthen to US$1.10 per euro and 112 yen by mid-year, according to median estimates in Bloomberg surveys of analysts.
Hedge funds and other large speculators extended bets on dollar weakness versus eight major currencies to the most in almost two years.
Positions that benefit from losses by the US currency exceeded those that benefit from a rally by a net 47,035 contracts in the week ended April 26, a report from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed.

On Pt. Ravi Shankar
SAHMAT pays tribute to Pandit Ravi Shankar, who has passed away in the US. A less remembered part of his long and illustrious history are his beginnings with IPTA in Bombay. Ravi Shankar composed the music for IPTA's film on the Bengal famine "Dharti Ke Lal" directed by K.A. Abbas in 1946, as well as Chetan Anand's "Neecha Nagar" also in 1946. "Dharti ke Lal was the debut film of Balraj Sahni and Zohra Segal, the songs were written by Ali Sardar Jaffri. He was an important part of the great moment of the progressive movement in the 1940s when the Communist affiliated IPTA and PWA had a huge impact in shaping modernism in the arts. His music for these two films was composed more than a decade before his music for Satyajit Ray's film "Pather Panchali", with which both received lasting acclaim.
Ravi Shankar was a shining example of India's composite culture and was a vocal critic of groups who were seeking to divide and define us on communal lines. He participated in Sahmat's "Artists Against Communalism" programs in Delhi and Bombay in 1991 and 1992, against the rising communal mobilization in the lead up to the Babri Masjid demolition. This was his statement on stage: " As a sensitive musician, I am deeply pained by what is happening in our country today. This discordant cacophony has to stop. It is the duty of all of us to try our best in our own way to bring back sanity and harmony amongst our people."
It was this concern and engagement with social and political developments which had led him to organize the first big rock concert in Madison Square Garden in New York with Beatle George Harrison in 1971, "The Concert for Bangladesh". A huge success, where legendary rock stars performed with him and his brother-in-law Ali Akbar Khan, it raised huge funds for the relief of victims and refugees fleeing from the civil war raging in East Pakistan, which led to the formation of Bangladesh. This became the model for all the future rock concerts held to raise funds across the world.
It was this spirit of humanity and his remarkable openness to all music and cultures of the world which made him a citizen of the world. Sahmat salutes the legacy of a truly great Indian Modern and sends condolences to the family from all the fraternity of India's artists.

Dagenham singer Sandie Shaw collects MBE from Buckingham Palace
PUBLISHED: 13:58 08 February 2018 | UPDATED: 14:10 08 February 2018
Dagenham-born singer Sandie Shaw said she was thrilled to be honoured at Buckingham Palace as she collected her MBE.
The star, who was named in the 2017 Queen's Birthday Honours list, said the Prince of Wales seemed "stunned" that the 70-year-old was only now being given an award.
Following her conversation with Prince Charles, she said: "He was a bit stunned it had taken so long. He said 'Why? Why has it taken so long for you to get here?'
"I told him the truth - the truth is that women in music haven't tended to be honoured in the past, certainly not in the 60s."
Asked if the prince had agreed with her, she replied: "I wouldn't like to say."
She added: "He said he was glad I was here now."
And Sandie, who scored Britain's first Eurovision Song Contest win in 1967 with her hit Puppet On A String, revealed she does not take much interest in the singing contest - admitting she never watches it.

Additional Notes:
Mike O'Meally on shooting the photo, from chromeball interview #123:
"Weren't you also shooting him at the White Hubba in Philadelphia for Menikmati when he murdered it that night?
Yeah, he ended up getting the cover of Skateboarder that night with a backlip down it. If I remember right, he started with the backlip and also came away with a back 5-0 and frontside 180 nosegrind. All over the course of maybe an hour. McCrank was there and frontside 5-0'd it, too. Heavy sesh, man. That thing is huge.
I remember Fat Bill taking us there to check it out and Koston just went to work. It was one of those instances where I actually started to get nervous as I set everything up. Because this was some real next-level shit. What if my flashes don't work? Am I shooting this from the right angle? There's just so many factors and you always want to do your best. Nobody wants to blow it.
But Koston was on a hot one, man. Hammering out tricks. I'm pretty sure the backlip was maybe 2nd try. Because the proof sheet only had two frames and the first one, my framing was really bad. So I adjusted real quick and next thing I know, he's rolling away. The frontside 180 nosegrind took a little longer for him, though. He got beat up a few times on that one.
I remember thinking over the course of all that, I'd better adjust my angles between tricks so everything doesn't look identical to each other. Because everything was so heavy, I wanted them all to get used. The fisheye would've been wrong for the 180 nosegrind anyway… so yeah, it worked out pretty well."

The tiles were pretty rough, and he even took a mean scrub into the floor, but the tough S.O.B. got back up and spanked a lofty air over the hip, while most of the guys had trouble hitting the lip."

Mike O'Meally on the trick/cover, from Transworld's "2010 Covers & The Stories Behind Them";
"Shot in a warehouse near TWS.
It was a big gap and really smelly due to all the pyrotechics and smoke in the warehouse that had nowhere to go. It was dark, so the timing was crucial—getting the flames to pop in just the right time and place to highlight Vince as he blasted across that big gap and into the steep landing ramp.
The nicest thing about it being the cover, was that it was a surprise, as we didn't find out until the winner was announced at TWS at the awards ceremony for S&C. I think Vince was pretty stoked but he's so humble I think he just took it in stride. Kelly Bird might have been more stoked!
I think it's one of my favorites, just 'cause it was so difficult photographically and the gap was really big in such a cramped, smoky, and hectic situation, but Vince made it look easy, which is what a good skater always does."

Transworld – Behind The Cover: Emmanuel Guzman
Mike O'Meally on the trick, from Transworld's "Our Favorite Covers Of 2013 And The Stories Behind Them" (2013):
"Eman had his eye on this spot for years, it's really heavy. Rough, windy, and steep. It was towards the end of last years Skate & Create with Santa Cruz, the spot is located right in the zone in SC. So after a full morning session on a flat bank on the seawall, Eman got his guts together and started sizing it up—there was some silent apprehension from all present, as nobody knew if it was even possible. We were worried he might get hurt, but nobody said anything, he had that eye of the tiger and any good MC knows his limitations. So after a few roll ups to case out the drop, Emmanuel Guzman cracked one and ran out—it looked pretty painful, just the stress on the legs of running down such a steep bank. Then second try it was all in and he hung on for life or death and made the ride away smooth. I was really glad he handled it so quick, it was just one of those big, ugly brutal spots were you were hoping that nothing bad happened, in fact the opposite was true—he made it look easy. One of the gnarliest things I have ever shot."

"The first time I realized Shane was special was when he was talking to himself. Now, a lot of mentally gifted (and mentally challenged) people have been known to chatter away, but the difference with Shane was that his one-man monologue took place in the middle of a midnight Smith grind down the legendary El Toro handrail in Orange County. He was yammering to himself about who knows what, and then, within minutes, he was poised perfectly on a nosegrind and landed it in one try-no bails and no worries."

« Do English-Language Learners Get Stigmatized by Teachers? A Study Says Yes | Main | How Should Schools Respond to ICE Raids? Some Advice »
Is Congress Lagging in Nationwide Push for Language Learning?
Since the seal of biliteracy was introduced in California earlier this decade, its popularity has surged in states across the country.
But a federal bill that would fund U.S. Department of Education grants to help states and school districts establish and strengthen programs has repeatedly sputtered in Congress.
As a state legislator in California, now-U.S. Rep. Julia Brownley authored the legislation that established the state's seal of biliteracy in 2011, but hasn't had similar success on Capitol Hill.
Since she came to Congress in 2013, Brownley's Biliteracy Education Seal and Teaching (BEST) Act has largely been ignored. The legislation would establish federal grants, $10 million annually from fiscal 2020 through fiscal 2024, to cover the administrative costs of setting up and administering a seal of biliteracy program, as well as for public outreach.
Prospects for this measure moving forward remain slim, especially with a $40 million price tag.
A 2017 report from the American Academy of Arts & Sciences' Commission on Language Learning—commissioned by Congress to determine how language learning influences economic growth, diplomacy, and the productivity of future generations—found that public schools and state departments of education have struggled to find qualified world language instructors and are unequipped to track local and national trends on language learning.
Despite the alarms raised in the study, no federal legislation has emerged to address those issues.
For her part, Brownley had hoped to attach the BEST Act to the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 2015. When that fell through, so did any likelihood of the bill making its way through Congress, said Bill Rivers, the executive director of the Joint National Committee for Languages and the National Council for Languages and International Studies.
"Unfortunately, when that reauthorization was occurring, bilingual education was not a huge priority," Brownley said.
Times have changed. Shifting demographics and political dynamics have transformed views on multilingual education in many parts of the country in the time since, paving the way for a closer examination of how the nation's 5 million K-12 English-learners are educated and the importance of foreign-language instruction.
Now, students in 36 states and the District of Columbia can earn recognition noting their skills in more than one language. But the seals are a patchwork of policies and standards, with little consistency from state to state.
"It should be a federal priority," Rivers said. "But it's not clear what the legislative vehicle would be for that."
Language-learning advocates are celebrating a potential breakthrough: a world languages amendment tucked into the U.S. House defense bill that passed this month would create a grant program to establish or expand world language programs in K-12 Department of Defense schools and school districts that host a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program.
The U.S. Senate passed its own version of the defense bill earlier this summer without the World Language Advancement and Readiness Act included, which means there is no guarantee the amendment will be included in the final version of the bill.

|Kieran Trippier, one of Howe's men
The manager is just 33, we have a new club captain, six players who made over 500 starts between them for the club have left and quite frankly anything could happen over the next 4,140 minutes of Championship football.
Make no mistake about it, this Saturday's visit of Watford marks the genuine start point of Eddie Howe's reign as Burnley boss. He is no longer playing with another man's toys.
Eagles, Mears, Carlisle, Iwelumo, Alexander and Cork have departed, all sent with almost unanimous goodwill. In their place though have come Treacy, Trippier, Mee, Bartley and Austin – Howe's men.
Far from approaching this season with trepidation, fear and nerves, I instead look at it with enthusiasm and excitement.
We complained en-mass about the appointment of Laws, it was a backwards step. Howe is something completely different, his appointment was unquestionably a gamble, but every now and again a gamble pays off.
Howe has spoken at length since he arrived about reducing the average age of the squad, and he's been true to his word. All three of his outfield signings are under 23.
The young manager is giving himself a blank canvas to work from, young players eager to listen and learn their trade. It will be a squad with 'EH' stamped upon it, if he fails he will fall on his sword, but if he succeeds then it will be all of his own making
He wants players at the club that he can develop, rough diamonds that he can polish until they sparkle. He always said that we wouldn't see the best of Bartley and Austin until this season, they need to flourish as their trusting manager has predicted.
Howe knows though that his side will not make progress unless he mixes his belief in the promise of youth with the time-served knowledge of an old head or two, and he's been very careful to retain a strong spine.
Jensen, Duff, Amougou, McCann, Marney, Paterson and Rodriguez remain to act as the nucleus of a team in transition.
|Captaincy could be the making of Chris McCann
The decision to hand the Captain's armband to McCann could prove to be the making of the Dubliner.
The accusation levelled at him before injury robbed him of the last two seasons was that he went missing in games, matches would pass him by from time to time. As Captain he cannot allow that to happen.
Blessed with a height, power and a terrific left foot, this is McCann's chance to make up for lost time.
A young captain acting as the on-field lieutenant to a young manager, how can it not excite the watching fans?
Mee will unquestionably be compared to Gary Cahill, and if his pre-season performances are anything to go by the comparisons with the former Aston Villa loanee may not be too far wide of the mark.
The emergence of Alex MacDonald as a genuine contender for a starting place is yet more cause for encouragement.
12 months ago I was one of those who doubted Rodriguez's first-team credentials. Now I sit in a new home shirt with his name emblazoned along the back, a season is a long time for a young footballer and there is nothing stopping Alex from having a similar impact this time around.
Following Burnley has been a turbulent experience over the last three years, but with a new season on the horizon we have reason for optimism.
This time two years ago FourFourTwo magazine predicted that Blackpool would be relegated from the Championship, we all know what happened to the Seasiders that year.
We can all speculate as to how this season will go, I'm fortunate enough to get the chance to explain my views, but the truth is that none of us have got a clue what will unfold this season, that's the beauty of it.
I am an optimist and a dreamer, some may say a fool, and although I'm far from predicting that we will roar to the Championship title in May, I do think what we are about to witness may well be worth watching.

Mountain View resident Mike Lehner said he was baffled as he read the notice sent to his wife Jennifer's health consulting business. He felt like the city was about to revoke their license.
"This was the first we heard about this," he said. "It gave us less than a week's notice, and it said it was the second and final notice, but we never received anything before."
So in late March, Lehner went to City Hall with his wallet, and he found he wasn't alone. A crowd of other frustrated business owners was lining up outside the Finance Department office, angry about the abrupt warnings over $3. City staff seemed to be struggling to control the livid group, he said.
The city did offer an online payment system, but many business owners were miffed that they would be charged a $1.25 convenience fee for using it.
Finance Director Patty Kong agreed it was quite the mess. The last week of March her team had to deal with hundreds of irate business owners, in person and over the phone.
"It was an unfortunate event that this had gone out in this manner," she said. "There were quite a few people who had thought they had paid their licenses already."
The problem, Kong said, was the city's automated software for sending out notices. The system was set up so it didn't send out notices for amounts less than $5 until they were delinquent. For that reason, an initial notice that was supposed to go out in January was never actually sent out, she said.
While the businesses still needed to pay the fee, Kong admitted her department had dropped the ball by not giving ample notice. The final-warning letters were also poorly worded, she said, making it seem like business owners were on the cusp of penalties. In late March, her office sent out thousands of apology letters that tried to clarify the situation.
The new fee being levied on all businesses comes as part of new state legislation intended to increase disability access. Starting in October 2017, all California business license-holders were charged an additional $1, and this fee increased to $4 at the start of 2018.
Kong said all businesses with licenses valid for 2018 are required to pay the new state surcharge, regardless of whether they paid their license fees months earlier.
About 1,600 businesses have paid the new state fee, according to the Finance Department.

Roberts: Arizona Senate votes to block you from replacing McCain if vacancy occurs
Laurie Roberts: Republican legislators want to block voters from selecting Sen. John McCain's replacement this year, should he leave office in the next six weeks.
Once again, the Arizona Legislature is proving that it doesn't trust you.
Earlier this session, our leaders trotted out a doomed proposal that would strip voters of the right to nominate candidates for the U.S. Senate in the primary election.
This time, our leaders don't trust you to decide who should represent you in the Senate, should Sen. John McCain leave office in the next six weeks.
McCain is suffering from a brutal brain cancer and his failing health apparently constitutes an emergency at the state Capitol, where politics trump common decency or class.
Brazen political move
On Tuesday, the Republican-led Senate gave preliminary approval to an immediate change in state law for how to fill a U.S. Senate vacancy. This, so that should McCain leave office in coming weeks, Gov. Doug Ducey would select who would represent us for the next two and one-half years.
According to the Secretary of State's Office's, if McCain left office by May 31, Ducey would appoint a temporary replacement and Arizona voters would choose their next senator in November. If the office became vacant on June 1 or thereafter, Ducey's appointee would serve until the seat went onto the ballot in 2020. (Note: there is some dispute about the date. While the Secretary of State's Office puts the deadline at May 31, elections lawyer Joe Kanefield notes that ARS16-202 requires the ballot to be finalized 120 days before the primary election, which would put the date by which a vacancy must occur at April 30.)
The proposed change in law would require the seat to become vacant 150 days before the primary in order to hold an election. This year, that deadline would have been March 31.
The proposal to already was a part of House Bill 2538, a bill originally intended to lengthen future special congressional campaigns after Trent Franks' free fall and the scramble to replace him. The Associated Press' Bob Christie reports that Democrats amended the bill in the House to similarly lengthen future Senate campaigns.
But on Tuesday, state Sen. Sonny Borrelli, R-Kingman, proposed adding an emergency clause to the bill, meaning it would take effect immediately rather than later this summer.
Democrats will block the move
Borrelli told his colleagues it's important to "be prepared" and apparently Republicans agreed because they gave it a preliminary thumbs up on a voice vote.
The bill still requires a formal Senate vote before returning to the House but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this particular end run on voters to occur.
An emergency clause requires a two-thirds vote of each chamber. Democrats, already seeing the distinct possibility of Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema snagging the open seat left by Sen. Jeff Flake's decision not to seek re-election, want a shot at McCain's seat as well, should it become vacant.
Meanwhile, Republicans want to make sure it remains in their hands.
Which means they want the choice of who will represent Arizona for the next two and one-half years in Ducey's hands.
Read: not yours.

The spatial configuration for the Street Omens performance in public generates itself not through defined Architecture but as a carrier or medium for the program. A modular, temporary space, using natural materials evolves, grows and adapts in situ.
This process of assembling is understood as a responsive action according to program, site, symbolic production and participants.
In reminiscence to the overall topic of Land – perceived as blank and only accessible via cultivation, active development of different utilization and disclosure of time.
A Landscape or Landmark (understood as in marking or zoning) – its origin unclear (invited or invented), a scene to pause and listen, to join and define – a performed catalyst.
The generated spatial patterns and modules of cultivation and history will neither be left of destroyed but rather passed on to a defined community after the performance.

Researchers with Columbia University analyzed cannabis use trends in states with medical marijuana laws in the years after those laws were passed.
They found "no significant change in the prevalence of past-month marijuana use among adolescents or young adults (those ages 18 to 25)" following legalization.
Investigators also found no proof of increased cannabis abuse or dependence by young people or adults. On the other hand, states with largely unregulated medical marijuana programs were tied to more self-reported use by adults over the age of 25, while states with stricter regulations were not.
While these findings match those of several other studies, they contradict a recent and heavily shared paper in JAMA Psychiatry that suggested medical marijuana laws could increase the rate of cannabis use disorder among adults.

A snapshot of a maverick artist at the height of his powers, this 5CD set contains some of the most dazzling, idiomatic and idiosyncratic playing on record. Concertos and caprices are as fresh-sounding as they are effortless-seeming, and the final disc of encore miniatures is a feast in itself. Newly unearthed radio broadcasts of Berg and Brahms make this collection even more unmissable.

The Gathering
The Gathering is a holiday concert featuring Laurelyn Dossett, April Verch, Joe Newberry and Mike Compton. With inspiring vocal harmonies and virtuoso instrumentals, it features a warm mix of original music and traditional Appalachian songs of the season, as well as Dossett's song cycle, "The Gathering: A Winter's Tale in Six Songs."
"It's what the holidays were before shopping and Irving Berlin."
Wall Street Journal
"They bring a breath of fresh, pine-scented air to an intensely crowded field."
3 stars, Los Angeles Times
About the band:
Known around the world for his clawhammer banjo playing, Joe Newberry is also a powerful guitarist, singer and songwriter. A longtime and frequent guest on A Prairie Home Companion, he sang with the 2016 Transatlantic Sessions, and at the Transatlantic Session's debut at Merlefest in 2017. The Gibson Brothers' version of his song "Singing As We Rise" won the 2012 IBMA "Gospel Recorded Performance" Award, and he shared the 2013 IBMA "Song of the Year" Award for "They Called It Music" with Eric Gibson.
While April Verch is perhaps best known for playing fiddle styles from her native Ottawa Valley, Canada, her performances extend into old-time American, classic country, Scandinavian styles and beyond, for a well-rounded tour-de-force of traditional sounds. While her fiddle playing is of the "astounding" variety, it's her multiple artistic talents that allow her to come at her audiences from so many different directions and points of inspiration. Combine that instrumental prowess with soulful singing and stunning stepdancing, and the result is an artist who is basically a force of nature.
Grammy and IBMA award-winning mandolinist, singer, and recording artist Mike Compton has earned "a worldwide reputation as one of the modern masters of bluegrass mandolin…one of the most recognizable and respected mandolin voices anywhere" (Mandolin Magazine). He toured with John Hartford, Nashville Bluegrass Band, and was featured in the soundtracks for, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "Cold Mountain". Wearing his signature pressed blue overalls and rocking and weaving with fluid body motion, Compton stuns not by tricks, but through singing, crowd engagement, and a technique which was honed over decades into a mandolin sound unique to him.
Singer/songwriter Laurelyn Dossett lives and writes in the piedmont of North Carolina, and her songs tend to reflect the stories of the region, both traditional and contemporary. Her work has appeared in film and television, and has been recorded by Grammy-winning artists such as Levon Helm and Rhiannon Giddens of the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Dossett has partnered with Triad Stage's Preston Lane on six plays, which feature regional folklore and original music. Her song cycle, The Gathering: A Winter's Tale in Six Songs, was commissioned by and premiered with the North Carolina Symphony in November 2011.

text: Sth. Notional was a one-off project originally released on Japanese label Zero Corporation back in 1992. Yawn Yawn Yawn focused primarily on various Balearic-friendly mixes of the title track and some other scattered pieces, and now they've received a much-needed spruce up from Archeo Recordings. This edition in particular comes on blue vinyl, in limited quantities for the fast-fingered collectors. The "Dream... Another Reality" versions of "Yawn Yawn Yawn" are laid back to the extreme, revolving around delicate instrumentation and occasional threads of speech and singing. There's a mellow beat behind the "G-Tar Cannyon Mix," and the "Thankful Mix" brings a weightier groove to the table. With the other tracks adding to this utterly smooth, early 90s shake, and spread across three discs, this is the holy grail reissue collectors have been waiting for.

The Indian government has approached local mobile phone companies to launch economic transaction enabled smartphones for rural people. This is another big step taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 'Make in India' movement.
According to the reports of Economic Times of India, the Indian government has asked the local brands of handset makers' including Micromax, Intex, Lava and Karbonn to launch low-cost phones. The news came into limelight after the meeting hosted recently by Niti Aayog.
The government has asked them to launch phones which must be able to make its way through the digital transaction. The meeting was held only for the Indian local handset brands. Foreign companies like Samsung, Apple and others were not found attending the meeting.
One of the senior executive of Economic times who attended the meeting quoted "The government has begun enabling digital transactions, which are growing exponentially now, but they realize that there aren't that many low-cost smartphones in the market."
Some other reports from the same sources have reported that the government is pushing these handset companies to build in approximately 20-25 million handsets into the market at a go. Even the government subsidy is ruled out. In place of that, the government is asking these companies to come up with solutions tobring budget phones into the market. The budget phones must have capabilities to allow financial transactions.
Another senior executive said, "The government's aim is to allow financial transactions from anywhere, devices which should also have the ability to scan Aadhaar-based financial transactions in the future."
The companies are now planning to chalk out plans which will reduce the cost of smartphones and enable to bring budget phones in the market. This plan is especially for the rural part of the country to make India go cashless and popularize Make in India movement of India.
According to the current reports out of one billion populations, only 300 million of citizens use smartphones. This project can cover up the remaining portion of the population and finally make India go cashless and digitalize India to 100 percent.

|Infants admitted to a neonatal unit (NNU) are frequently unable to feed by breast or bottle because of ill health or prematurity. These infants require nutritional support until they can start oral feeding. Breastfeeding is advocated for these infants, and mothers are frequently encouraged to express breast milk to be fed via the enteral tube. However, by discharge, breastfeeding rates tend to be low. Oral feeding requires careful management, and although practices may vary because of clinical need, some may be informed by unit norms. There is limited evidence for effective breastfeeding support in this environment and little exploration of the effect of routine feeding decisions. This study aimed to explore feeding decisions and considered how these might affect outcomes. The staff in the two large urban NNUs who participated in the feeding decisions were interviewed and the data were analysed using a theoretical framework. Feeding decisions were made mainly by the unit staff, with limited parental involvement. Subsequent management varied, with differences being related to staff experience and beliefs, unit norms, parent's expectations and physical constraints within the unit. The staff were overtly supportive of breastfeeding, but the need to monitor and quantify milk intake may undermine breastfeeding. Furthermore, feeding breastfed infants during the mothers' absence was controversial and provoked debate. There is a need for clear guidelines and increased parental involvement in feeding decisions. Routine practices within the system may discourage mothers from initiating and persisting with breastfeeding. A change in unit culture is required to fully support the parent's feeding choices.

Kyle Gordon – Hurtling to Rapid '10' Times!
Kyle Gordon doesn't seem to have been phased by the disappointment of the HUUB team's Bolivian record attempts falling victim to the Covid crisis. The versatile man from Alness has recently been knocking out some super-fast 10 mile times as part of his build-up to the CTT '25' and '50' Championships later in the year.
Tour of the Campsies 2020 Goes to Cameron Richardson
I thought I'd check out what where the expression, "awa' the Crow Road" came from before Davie and I headed for the Tour of the Campsies; 'Crows take your soul to the hereafter it's thought in many cultures and superstition.'
Sarah Phillips – Scottish and British Champion in the 90's
She's Sarah Rowe these days but in the world of cycling she's remembered as Sarah Phillips; Scottish Champion at 10 and 25 miles in 1988, 1990 and 1991 with Scottish records at 10 miles with 22:43, 25 miles with 57:18 and 50 miles with 2:00:51 achieved during 1990. Here's her tale...
Scottish 25 Mile TT Championship 2019 goes to Kyle Gordon
On a rain sodden but mild and fast Sunday morning on the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen dual carriageway, starting and finishing at Forfar, Kyle Gordon (RT23) added to his Scottish 10 Mile TT Title with a rapid 48:53 to win the Scottish 25 Mile TT Championship 2019 crown from jockey-turned-bike-rider, former Olympic TT Champion, Wilson Renwick (Java Partizan Pro Cycling Team) on 49:16 and former Hill Climb Champion, David Griffiths (Bioracer-Moriarty Bikes) with 49:24.
Loch Ken Time Trial – Kyle Gordon Keeps his Form
On a day which was a total contrast to last Sunday's Monifieth polar conditions; with warm sunshine and a gentle breeze, Kyle Gordon (RT23) showed us that perishing or pleasant, he's the man to beat on the Scottish time trial scene. Averaging 28.796 mph around the rolling, scenic 26.3 mile Loch Ken Time Trial course in the fourth round of six in the CTT Sigma Sports Classic Series.
Scottish 10 Mile TT Championships 2019 goes to Kyle Gordon
On a raw morning of bitter north westerly winds, with a grey Firth of Tay and North Sea brooding to the south, Kyle Gordon (RT 23) produced a ride just nine seconds shy of 30 mph to win the Scottish 10 Mile TT Championships 2019 from Bioracer-Moriarty Bikes duo, second placed Jamie Davidson and bronze medallist, David Griffiths; seven and 18 seconds back, respectively.
John Archibald – Breaking Course Records with Big Margins
Two course records obliterated within days of each other over the Easter weekend? It could only be that man John Archibald (Ribble Pro Cycling). It's good to see he's put a disappointing Worlds pursuit behind him - and the margins he's breaking course records by takes VeloVeritas back to those 'Obree Days' when every weekend produced another 'wow!'
Wilson Renwick – Tour de Trossachs Winner
It was back in May 2015 when Jim Cusick told us about the professional jockey who was riding time trials. Since then Wilson Renwick has swapped equine saddles for the narrower models you find on time trial bikes, winning the Scottish 'Olympic' Time Trial Championship back in the spring of this year and has just added the classic Tour of the Trossachs to his palmares. We caught up with him the day after his epic ride on what was the toughest day most can remember for the event.
The VV View: the Tour de Trossachs, the Comic, and oh,...
The Tour de Trossachs: when the alarm blasts at 06:30 on a Sunday morning the question is; 'do I really have to go all the way to Aberfoyle?' But once you're breathing that sweet fern scented air on The Duke's Pass then driving along lovely Loch Achray side you remember why you love this race. Great history, wonderful scenery, a course which challenges your abilities as a bike rider. So why do entries drop every year?
Smart and Curran top the Tour de Trossachs 2017
Chris Smart (GTR) made it a hat trick of wins in the classic Tour de Trossachs 2017 time trial over 24.5 beautiful but demanding miles on a calm, mild and dry autumn Sunday morning, adding to his 2014 and 2015 victories - the race was cancelled last year due to roadworks.
John Archibald – on breaking the Scottish 10 Mile Time Trial...
It's hard to believe that since I started cycling in 1971 nearly four minutes have been hacked off the Scottish 10 mile time trial record; when I started it stood at 22 minutes and 14 seconds: 1971 P.Templeton (Dundee Thistle R.C.) 22 mins 14 secs. It now stands at 18 minutes and 38 seconds thanks to that man John Archibald (Pro Vision) - a time he achieved this morning on the fast dual carriageway tarmac beside the River Clyde at Westferry.
John Archibald – Winning and Dominating the Tour of the North...
A 19 minute two-up '10' in February, a solo 19 minute '10' in March, Gifford, The Gordon Arms, The Tour of the North and now The Tour of the Meldons incorporating the Scottish National 'Olympic' Time Trial Title – that John Archibald (ProVision) laddie is on fire; better have a word...
Tour de Trossachs 2015 – Chris Smart takes the Classic Scottish...
On a cool but dry and benign morning around the beautiful lochs and hills above Aberfoyle and Callander it was Paisley Velo Race Team's Scottish 'Olympic' Time Trial Champion Chris Smart who defended his title as 'King of the Trossachs' despite being 21 seconds down to former Tour de Trossachs Tartar, Arthur Doyle (www.Dooleys-Cycles.co.uk) at the top of the Dukes Pass.
Callum Finlayson – Five Years from Stroke to Scottish Champion
It's not everyday we get emails from Time Trial Royalty, so when BBAR and 100 mile time trial legend Ian Cammish tells us; "Hi, just been involved in a brief exchange of emails with a guy from Moray Firth CC - Callum Finlayson. He's just won the Scottish 100 champs with the 2nd fastest time EVER in Scotland. Got a pretty good story to tell too ... suffered a Stroke a few years ago!"
Scottish 50 Mile Time Trial Championship 2014 – Silas Golsdworthy Excels
Silas Golsdworthy put the disappointment of not being part of the Scottish Commonwealth Games team firmly behind him by taking victory in the country's 50 Mile Time Trial Championship today with a stunning 1:43:48, the second fastest 50 miles ever ridden in Scotland and only 45 seconds off Graeme Obree's 21 year old record.
Alistair Speed Memorial 50 Mile Time Trial 2014
It was 11:20 am on Thursday September 5th 2013 on the A91 road between Gateside and Strathmiglo when we lost Ali Speed. He was just 49 years-old, out on his bike and doing what he loved when he was snatched away. Ali rode his first race at just 12 years-old and was racing just days before he died. VeloVeritas ran an obituary for Ali at the time of his death and it goes without saying that we had to attend the 50 mile time trial his sister Mhairi organised in his honour on behalf of Fife Cycling Association. We thought that rather than straight race reportage – albeit not ignoring Iain Grant's (Dooleys) dazzling 1:47 to win – we'd drive most of the course and look at the roads and places Ali trained and raced on.
Gordon Arms Hilly Time Trial 2014 Goes to Oliphant
Raleigh professional Evan Oliphant handled the age old dilemma of the pro racing against amateurs – if they don't win they're criticised, but if they do then it's 'expected' – by taking the best option and winning the Gala CC's Gordon Arms Hilly Time Trial over 20.5 cold and cloudy Borders miles in 50:06; some ways short of Mark Atkinson's (Velo Ecosse) 1999 course record of 48:47 but enough to give him the result by 41 seconds over Carl Donaldson (GS Metro).
Silas Goldsworthy – 4th and 7th in British Champs, One to...
A man who's been moving steadily up the standings this year, against the watch and on the track, is Sandy Wallace Cycles' Silas Goldsworthy – we thought we should have a word.
Scottish National 25 mile Time Trial Championship 2012
On a grey, damp but mild and fast Sunday morning on the roads around Blairdrummond near Stirling, Dooleys' Ian Grant added the '25' title to the '50' with a fine 52:26; besting Sandy Wallace's Silas Goldsworthy - whose fight back over the closing miles hauled back a 17 second deficit on Grant down to six at the line. Last year's '50' champion Alan Thomson, took another medal for Sandy Wallace with bronze in 53:09. The event was not without controversy, however.
Steve Nutley – Scottish 100 Mile TT Champion
It was another surprise win in a Scottish time trial championship as Sandy Wallace Cycles', Steve Nutley took the honours in the '100' on a wet day along the Cromarty Firth, last Sunday.
Tour de Trossachs 2010 Preview
Although the start sheet for the Tour de Trossachs is still to be finalised, it's looking to be a very interesting race - the field has been extended to accommodate 140 because the race is proving to be popular with riders of all abilities, and sees National Champions and World Champions taking part, as well as newcomers interested in trying out this classic course. Arthur Doyle (Dooleys RT) will defend his title for the third time, but the big question is will he manage to beat both the hill climb and course record set by Jason McIntyre in 2007...
Gordon Arms Mountain Time Trial 2010
Alan Thomson (Glasgow Couriers) was run pretty close by his teammate Barry McGurk for the win in the Gordon Arms Mountain Time Trial, a hilly time trial run by the Gala CC near Melrose in the Scottish borders. With Euan Pope backing them up in fourth place, the team prize was never going anywhere else.
Ian Black – New Scottish 100 Mile TT Champion
VeloVeritas missed the 100 Champs again-we're not men enough to disappear to the Tour for two weekends then vanish to Invergordon at 04:00 the first Sunday we're back.
Scottish 50 Mile TT Championship 2009
Off no.45, Michael Nicolson (Dooleys RT) never looked like being beaten in the Scottish 50 Mile TT Championship 2009, but a but a clutch of riders fought it our for the minor placings in the mens competition, whilst Jessica Wilson -Young (Edinburgh RC) took a comfortable win in the women's race.
Deeside Thistle Hilly 10.5 Mile Time Trial
Ali Watt (Granite City RT) broke his own Course Record on the 2 lap 19.5ml Deeside Thistle Hilly 10.5 Mile Time Trial on Thurs 24th May, only to be thwarted by a flying Ray Wilson (Dunfermline CC) who was over a half minute faster. A cool, dull evening with intermittent showers meant that Course Records weren't really on most folks' cards beforehand.
Phil Young Memorial GP Des Gents 2006
The Dunfermline team of I. Condie and R. Wilson won the Phil Young Memorial GP Des Gents time trial by nearly a minute on actual time, meaning that they also won the race on handicap, but only by a small margin: eight seconds.

How does this solution generate such less size inspite of using so many functions?
The way Cody scores things, a string is just a string, even if it is basically executable code. So there are tricks you can do with regexp or str2num to make your score a lot lower than it otherwise would be.
Ok, Thanks for information.
