When one of your biggest stars loses his high-profile job in one the year's biggest sexual harassment scandals, how to you react?
With a brand new, and painfully detailed, anti-harassment policy.
Page Six [h/t Kris Dunn] details NBC's new "Matt Lauer" harassment policy:
NBC has issued strict new anti-sexual harassment rules to employees — including that staffers must snitch on any misbehaving colleagues.
NBC employees have been ordered to report any inappropriate relationships in the workplace — and if they fail to do so, they could be fired for covering up for colleagues.
Detailed rules also have been issued about conduct in the office, including how to socialize and even how to hug colleagues.
If you wish to hug a colleague, you have to do a quick hug, then an immediate release, and step away to avoid body contact.

The University of Manitoba Bisons were back in action Friday night, taking on a reinvigorated University of Regina Cougars. The physicality of the last game carried through to the second game of the weekend, with both sides clashing from puck drop to the final buzzer with the Bisons ending up on top 7-1.
The Bisons would get on the board first just three minutes in thanks to Nicole Carswell. Erin Kucheravy broke into the Cougars' zone, feeding a pass to the slot where Carswell was able to tip it over the shoulder of Cougars goalie Jane Kish.
Near the end of the first period, Venla Hovi would put the Bisons up by two with her second of the year. A shot by Alanna Sharman went wide, but was scooped up by Jayden Skoleski who tucked a pass behind her to a waiting Hovi.
In the second, the Bisons extended their lead again, this time off the stick of Erica Rieder. Lauryn Keen took the puck low into the Cougars' corner, passed it to the slot, and then a quick one timer by Rieder beat Kish low glove side to give the Bisons a 3-0 lead.
Goals from Cassandra Taylor, Alana Serhan, Sheridan Oswald and Kucheravy would provide security, as the Bisons would cruise to a 7-1 victory.
Regina's lone goal came courtesy of Kylie Gavelin, who was able to tuck in a power play goal off a feed from Jaycee Magwood.
Rachel Dyck continued to shine in the Manitoba net, making a number of key stops. This included two brilliant saves in tight on the penalty kill late in the first, and a glove save off a Regina breakaway in the third.
"I'm going to go game to game." Bisons head coach Jon Rempel said of his goaltending tandem, "It depends on the situation, who we're playing and who'd be the best fit. Rachel is on top of her game right now, we could've won with [Schubert], but Rachel is on a mission."
The Bisons head back out on the road next weekend to play the UBC Thunderbirds on Oct.28-29.

Twisted-connected sum (TCS) G(2)-manifolds are seven dimensional manifolds realized by cleverly glueing together a pair of Calabi-Yau cylinders to obtain a metric with G(2)-holonomy. This allows to export a lot of techniques available in the Calabi-Yau context to the G(2)-realm. In this talk I am going to discuss some recent applications of string dualities to the compactification of M-theory on some examples of such G(2)-manifolds, which lead to the computation of the quantum corrected superpotential on the G(2) side. Along the way, this computation sheds some light on the physics of associative transitions in the G(2)-manifolds context, which generalize the more familiar wall-crossing transitions in the Calabi-Yau realm.

Rehabilitation after first-time anterior cruciate ligament injury and reconstruction in female football players: a study of resilience factors
© The Author(s). 2016
- Received: 4 March 2016
- Accepted: 6 July 2016
- Published: 16 July 2016
Most of the research in the area of psychosocial factors in rehabilitation after sports injuries has focused on risk behaviors, while relatively few studies have focused on behaviors that facilitate rehabilitation. The objective of our study was to understand the psychosocial features that characterize elite female football players who express a resilient behaviour during rehabilitation after a first-time anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction.
A qualitative method was used based on individual in-person interviews and video communication of players who incurred a first-time ACL tear during the 2012 season of the Swedish Women's Elite Football League. In total, 13 players had a first-time ACL and were interviewed post-season. The interviews were followed by a thematic content analysis. Based on this, eight players were identified as showing resilient behaviors during their rehabilitation and were included in the final analysis.
Three core themes representing psychosocial factors that help players cope successfully with rehabilitation were identified: (I) constructive communication and rich interaction with significant others; (II) strong belief in the importance and efficacy of one's own actions; and (III) the ability to set reasonable goals.
The findings suggest three core themes of psychosocial factors that characterize first-time ACL-injured elite female football players showing resilience during rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction. Suggestions for medical teams about ways to support communication, self-efficacy, and goal-setting during the rehabilitation process, are provided.
- Athletic injury
- Behavior
- Female football
- Psychosocial
- Resilience
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a major problem in sport, especially in women's team sports such as football [1]. The rehabilitation period is long and demanding and the average time to return to play in women's football is about 8.5 months or longer [2]. Negative mood disturbance, reduced self-confidence, and fear of re-injury may be experienced by ACL-injured athletes resulting in a lower return to sporting activity [3, 4]. The majority of previously published research in the area of psychosocial factors during rehabilitation after ACL injury has focused on risk factors that might inhibit a successful return to play, such as fear of re-injury [5] and external locus of control [6]. In contrast, only a few studies have primarily focused on psychosocial factors facilitating athletes' rehabilitation [5]. Nevertheless, factors previously associated with more successful rehabilitation after injury, in sports such as football and rugby, includes setting goals and objectives during rehabilitation [7], belief in the efficacy of treatment [8], rehabilitation practitioner expectations of patient adherence [9], social support [10], and constructive communication [11].
Resilience is a dynamic capability that helps people strive to realize their goals [12, 13]. The dimensions of resilience, which include self-efficacy, self-control, hardiness, ability to engage support and help, learning from difficulties, social problem-solving, and persistence despite obstacles to progress, are all recognized as qualities that are important for positive experiences and that, together with adaptive behaviors during rehabilitation, will increase the chance for positive outcomes in relation to severe injuries [14, 15]. In a study of 32 recovered knee- and ankle-injured athletes (mean overall recovery time of 10 weeks), the largest differences between the fastest and slowest "healers" were found related to three variables [16]. Fast healers used more goal setting, positive self-talk, and healing imagery than slow healers. These results support the idea that certain attitudes and psychosocial factors may enhance the effectiveness of particular treatments, as well as an injured athlete's ability to cope. The results from a more recent correlational study showed that problem-focused coping strategies aimed at improving autonomy and confidence were psychologically beneficial for ACL-injured professional rugby union players in terms of enhanced well-being [17]. In a systematic review of the psychological factors associated with returning to sport following injury [18], positive psychological responses, including high levels of motivation and confidence, were associated with a greater likelihood of returning to the athletes' pre-injury levels of participation. In addition, a high internal health locus of control and high self-efficacy were useful cognitive factors to master ACL injury rehabilitation, together with a low level of fear of re-injury. Moreover, athletes who successfully returned to sports were more experienced and more established players compared to those who did not return to sports after their injuries [18]. Taken together, the existing literature points out several psychosocial factors that may help players cope successfully with rehabilitation. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has examined these issues in a homogeneous sample of first-time ACL-injured elite female football players.
Based on a social constructivist narrative theory, the objectives of this study were to understand the psychosocial variables that characterize players who express a resilient behaviour during rehabilitation after a first-time ACL injury and subsequent reconstruction.
Setting and research design
The participants of this study were identified through a prospective injury surveillance audit carried out in the Swedish Women's Elite Football League in the 2012 season. The prospective study followed the same design as that previously reported in a similar setting [19]. The Women's Elite Football League consists of 12 teams with approximately 250 players. During the season 2012, 13 of these players sustained a first-time total ACL tear (all underwent reconstructive surgery) and were approached for inclusion in this study.
We then adopted a two-step design, the first step using an expert evaluation process [20, 21] to identify resilient players (among the 13) based on players' descriptions of being injured. This was conducted based on interview transcripts and no specific criteria were developed for separating resilient injured players from other players before the start of analyses. The primary goal of this procedure was to obtain a sub-sample of cases from which further data could be extracted [21]. This selection was done through the expert evaluation and the psychosocial profiles being obtained. The players who reported a mixture of several adaptive and maladaptive behaviors and emotions during rehabilitation, such as engaging in primarily emotion-focused strategies, an inability to accept the situation of being severely injured, and expressing worries and concern about the rehabilitation process, were excluded from further analyses.
In the second step, we performed a thematic content analysis (for more information, see Content analysis) focusing only on those players who were identified as showing resilient behaviors during rehabilitation (n = 8). In line with the above description of the dimensions of resilience, injured players who demonstrated high self-efficacy as well as high social problem-solving abilities and adaptive behaviors, such as actively working to set reasonable goals during rehabilitation, were identified as resilient players. Their interview data was included into the thematic content analysis.

Interview guide
The interview guide, consisting of four broad questions (see below), was designed to gather information about the players' rehabilitation period. We used an open-ended, low-structured interview guide with questions covering a broad area of what happened in their sport and in their lives during the rehabilitation period, including their physiological and emotional states.
The players were asked to: (1) provide background information (i.e., age, years in professional football); (2) describe the event when the injury occurred; (3) tell their stories of how they experienced their situations during rehabilitation from the ACL injury and reconstructive surgery; and (4) describe, as fully as possible, the ways in which they felt their life situation influenced their behaviors during rehabilitation. Additional questions and probes were asked in order to provide richness to the stories.
The time and place of the interviews were scheduled for the post-season (December 2012 to January 2013), and took place 6 months (range 4–9) post reconstruction. All players were located in Sweden at the time of the interviews. The first interview was intended to be a pilot interview to test the interview guide. Because no subsequent changes were made to the interview guide, this interview was included in the study. The second author is well acquainted in qualitative methodology and especially in social constructivist narrative theory [22], which allowed us to recapture the way in which selves and identities were grounded in cultural forms of language and sense-making. The second author conducted all the interviews, lasting 25–65 min and transcribed verbatim all the interviews prior to analysis. The study was reviewed by the Regional Ethical Review Board, Linköping University, Sweden (# M240-09). Informed consent was obtained from all participating players.
Content analysis
- 1.
The verbatim transcription of each interview was read several times to provide a sense of the whole story, as told by each athlete.
- 2.
The text was then divided into units of meaning, consisting of either several words in a sentence or several sentences bound together by their contents. These units are represented by excerpts such as: "received loads of social support from different persons," "new perspectives and great hope for the rehabilitation to come," and "I have several goals and objectives for the future".
- 3.
The units of meaning were condensed while retaining their original essence and were labelled with codes that simply stated the contents of each. For example, "I have learned from mistakes," "the head coach encouraged me a lot," and "use my whole contact network".
- 4.
To find similarities and differences between the different codes, the codes were compared and sorted into different sub-themes such as "supportive partners outside soccer," "acceptance of injury," and "confident thinking".
- 5.
The sub-themes were then compared and sorted into larger themes that represented different clusters of story elements—for example, "communication outside sports" and "self-determined goal motivation".
- 6.Finally, the themes were combined into higher order core themes illustrating the central interpreted meanings of the athletes' narratives of psychosocial resilience factors facilitating injury rehabilitation (see Table 2).
To deal with credibility, one aspect of trustworthiness in qualitative studies [25], the authors repeatedly read through the interview transcripts while comparing and validating them against the sub-themes, themes, and core themes, ensuring that no relevant data had been inadvertently or systematically excluded and that no irrelevant data had been included. The authors read and re-read the transcripts throughout the data analysis process. Moreover, another expert in sport and exercise psychology and highly trained in qualitative research was invited to triangulate the steps outlined in the data analysis (1–6). The authors first introduced the verbatim transcriptions of each interview, after which the additional colleague was asked to comment on the condensed statements, codes, sub-themes, themes, and core themes. After several discussions comparing and sorting sub-themes, themes, and core themes in logical order, suggestions were recommended and changes were made accordingly once consensus had been reached.
The eight resilient players experienced adaptive behaviors and emotions and felt that their successful rehabilitation (defined as return to train and play), in many respects, constituted positive learning experiences. Most of the resilient players had well-established positions in their teams and had experienced several previous injuries (but no ACL injury) in their careers.
Thematic content analysis of identified resilience group
Constructive communication and rich interaction with significant others
This theme contains the narratives of how helpful social interaction and dialogue were with coaches and teammates within sport as well as partners, family, and friends outside sport. The helpfulness of teammates is illustrated in the following: "At the same time, several other injured players have been here [rehab center]. We have exercised together with our physiotherapist…We have trained a lot together. I think it has helped us very much." Still another player said "I have received a lot of support from the girls on the team. They have encouraged me a lot, it feels good … Supportive teammates are always important; they help me to think about other things."
Some examples of the support from coaches were: "Our coach has been really good; he has listened to me and often asked how I felt and so on" and "The coach pushed me to train harder on my own. It was great to feel that engagement from him."
Strong belief in the importance and efficacy of one's own actions
Different kinds of personality-related factors for helping injured players cope effectively during rehabilitation emerged in the analysis. Numerous players had positive, determined attitudes, yet at the same time maintained a mindful stance under the core theme Strong belief in the importance and efficacy of one's own actions. Tolerance, persistence, acceptance, and life satisfaction were all features of this core theme.
"I don't know. I was probably prepared for the operation and a long rehabilitation. I was organized already from the start. I told my physiotherapist to book a time with the doctor to arrange for the operation. Everything was progressing as it was supposed to. No problems at all."
Ability to set reasonable goals
"You should really take the time you need, use all your contacts and not be afraid to step on some toes. I have learned this from previous injury situations. We are professionals and because of that you should impose high demands on the resources in your environment and surroundings."
In much the same way, another player stated, "The ACL injury and the rehabilitation afterwards felt like a piece of cake. I remember I thought like that the last time I was severely injured".
One issue that repeatedly arose during the interviews was that players made plans and set clear goals for the future during rehabilitation. For instance, one player stated that, "My outlook and goal is to be back in 6 months after the operation … we play Champions League then. I will be physically and mentally ready at that time".
The main result of the present study, describing resilient athletes' experiences of rehabilitation after ACL injuries, is that we identified three core themes representing psychosocial factors that appeared to help players cope with rehabilitation: constructive communication and rich interaction with significant others, a strong belief in the importance and efficacy of one's own actions, and an ability to set reasonable goals.
Analyzing the results of the narratives of the resilient players, it is striking how most of the players emphasized the adaptive and combined effects of supportive communications and interaction with significant persons both inside and outside their sport. Furthermore, it is also evident from the literature that a substantial part of previous research has focused on intra-individual resilience factors such as self-efficacy [8] and, to a lesser extent, on inter-individual factors such as beneficial communication with the head coach and other supportive persons during rehabilitation [11]. Although much of the attention of coaches, sports medicine team members, and sport psychologists is focused on preparing athletes for competition, this attention often vanishes when an athlete is injured. Some players in the present study also reported feelings of being excluded, neglected, or of little importance due to their physical incapacity. Despite these often observed phenomena, the resilient players appeared to benefit from interacting and constructively communicating with important persons such as parents, head coaches, teammates, and friends inside and outside the context of their sport. Some players also talked about the positive challenges the rehabilitation period brought in terms of having the opportunity to connect socially with networks of teammates and friends. These positive social features of rehabilitation processes have adaptive qualities and parallel previous research findings [10, 11].
The resilient players were also characterized by having high beliefs in their own actions, including being success-oriented and having positive attitudes as they faced their rehabilitation periods. In many ways, they matched past profiles in previous studies on athletes who have experienced successful rehabilitation after severe sports injuries [15, 16]. Personality features, such as resilience and stamina, are important psychosocial factors in the long-term management of a severe injury, usually driven by strong self-efficacy beliefs. In line with this finding, these resilient players appear not only to accept their injuries in positive ways but also to exhibit a sense of balance and satisfaction, managing challenging situations effectively. The players appeared to regard their situations as being controllable and exhibited rehabilitation behaviors that were clearly adaptive and oriented on the future. These strong self-efficacy beliefs warrant further investigation in the light of the knowledge provided to sports medicine teams when it comes to learning more about important psychosocial factors during the rehabilitation of elite female athletes.
The third core theme relates to the ability to organize oneself and plan for future activities using goals during the rehabilitation period. In part, this ability relates to the particularly relevant concept of dispositional optimism (as compared to optimistic behavior). Scheier et al., [26] the originators of this concept, defined it as representing a general expectation that good, rather than bad, outcomes will occur. These general expectations are believed to positively influence health because they tend to determine the extent to which an individual is willing to initiate health-oriented behaviors and persist with those behaviors when facing setbacks and other difficulties. Scheier et al.'s dispositional optimists tended to have more positive expectations before, during, and after surgery than those who did not obtain high scores for dispositional optimism. More specifically, dispositional optimists were found to make plans and set goals for recovery to a greater extent than pessimists [27], in much the same ways as the players in the current study. Another way to discuss the core theme of ability to set reasonable goals is related to the biopsychosocial model of Wiese-Bjornstal [28]. Research involving this model found that athletes who successfully returned to sport were characterized as having low re-injury anxiety and were more experienced and established athletes [29]. This line of research also revealed a positive relationship between goal-setting and adherence, which in turn yielded a positive relationship with the outcomes of the rehabilitation for ACL-injured athletes in the present study.
Methodological considerations
One methodological issue to consider is that some players' memory recall may have been inaccurate due to the fact that, on average, 6 months passed between the interviews and the injury dates, but the relatively high level of agreement between the findings and previous research speaks to the credibility of the results. One important sampling issue is that the resilient players played for/represented several different teams. It is therefore not possible to state definitively that the resilient players were predominantly located in supportive, constructive, and positively oriented teams, or had coaching staff sensitized to rehabilitation difficulties, or came from successful clubs. Another methodological consideration is whether adequate and quality data were collected to support the study (data saturation). It appears that the players' narratives indicated behaviors that closely matched the dimensions of resilience, which include for instance self-efficacy, an ability to engage support and help, and learning from difficulties, characteristics often mentioned in the literature [14, 15]. Another related and important consideration is about the amount of data necessary to answer our research question in a credible way [30]. It is our belief that the data were sufficient to deal with the focus of our research, i.e., resilient players who exhibit self-reliance and engage in resilience-related behaviors. We feel confident in how well data and processes of analysis address the intended focus, despite the complexity of the phenomena under study.
Also, another methodological issue important to reflect on is related to the selection of narrative constructivism as the theoretical foundation for the study. The reason for selecting this approach was that it emphasizes the importance of considering a person's story as a reflection of his or her identity, emotions, and understanding of the past, present, and future [31]. Because the aim of the study was to capture the players' experiences in relation to the situation of being injured, we find this approach especially suitable.
Finally, the focus of the study is not the rehabilitation speed or readiness for play but rather individual experiences of rehabilitation following the reconstruction of a first-time ACL injury and the factors that contribute to a resilient, successful rehabilitation. Because the approach is idiographic, no causal relationships could be claimed between the variables and the group of interest. Future studies, tentatively based on a biospsychosocial perspective, are therefore recommended to collect combinations of different type of data to provide further evidence to support the need to capture psychosocial data on injured athletes. Such evidence can guide the development of effective techniques that will facilitate rehabilitation.
Clinical implications
Building on the results of the present study, some practical suggestions based on adaptive behaviors of ACL-injured elite female football players during rehabilitation from ACL reconstructive surgery can be made. In the communication between the medical team and the injured player, it seems essential that both partners jointly draw up a plan for physical and mental recovery, in preparation for successful rehabilitation. Social support, in terms of communication and rich interaction, was a central theme in the present study, but curiously enough interaction with medical team was rarely mentioned. We can, however, on the strength of this theme put forward suggestions for medical team. This means that the medical team have an important mission to maintain constructive communication and rich interaction throughout the entire rehabilitation period. This implies not leaving the injured players isolated and outside the team (an inclusive tactic that is also the task of teammates and coaches). Also, the medical team should aim to help the players increase their self-efficacy by acknowledging and reinforcing progress in the rehabilitation process, for example. A player's self-efficacy is not solely held within the player and it can be increased or decreased depending on the social context and the contingencies of reinforcement and punishment in the sport and rehabilitation environments. It seems equally important for the medical team to encourage injured players to set daily goals for healing and improvement, as well as long-term goals for recovery. For the injured players, having experienced prior successful rehabilitations and thus having confidence and trust in their recovery, it is recommended that they take advantage of the time out as an opportunity to rest and reflect. Finally, for the injured players, it is suggested that they continuously take advantage of the social support systems that exist both inside and outside sport (e.g., family, teammates, and medical team). This support appears to positively influence the sometimes long and arduous period that usually occurs during injury rehabilitation, or, as one player said of her physiotherapist and fellow injured athletes, "We have trained a lot together. I think it has helped us very much".
It is concluded that the findings of the present study holds unique qualities resulting in resilient behavior during rehabilitation. Recommendations for medical teams are to focus foremost on supporting communication, self-efficacy, and goal-setting during the rehabilitation process of post ACL-reconstruction.

Venezuela's socialist president, Nicolas Maduro, is forcing businesses to offer Christmas sales and confiscating toys from warehouses to redistribute to children.
Bloomberg reported last Thursday that Venezuela's currency — the bolívar fuerte or "strong bolivar" — has lost 45 percent of its purchasing power so far this month, with six days to go.
Multi-national companies, such as Oreo cookie maker Mondelez International and Kimberly-Clark, have given up on Venezuela and its leader, Nicolas Maduro, and are getting out while they can.
The economic chaos in Venezuela turned political on Sunday. When President Nicolas Maduro's National Electoral Council (CNE), packed with his cronies, declared attempts to call for a national recall referendum on Maduro's presidency null and void on Friday, opposition leaders called it a "coup." Sunday's raucous display may be the trigger that replaces one Marxist thug with another in Venezuela.
The dire situation in Venezuela, as it succumbs to years of socialist mismanagement, almost defies description.
Like other well-known politicians, Lula's corruption, dating back at least a decade, is finally being exposed.
Brazilian investors, putting hope once again over experience, have doubled the price of the preferred stock of the Petrobras oil company since January, even as Petrobras sells off assets to pay down debts.
The U.S. mainstream media claimed that new Brazilian President Michel Temer represents a "new start" for Brazil. But nothing in that country is likely to change for the better.
As expected, the Colombian Marxist traitor, President Juan Manuel Santos, has concluded the peace of the cemetery with the bloody communist guerrillas on August 24, 2016 in Havana, Cuba, after nearly four years of negotiations. The agreement is a complete and shameful surrender to the bloody communist rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, known as FARC), who are responsible for more than 200,000 deaths, tens of thousands of injuries, and millions who were forced to abandon their homes during more than half a century of conflict assisted in every way by the Cuban regime. The agreement will not bring peace, but a future communist takeover as happened in El Salvador.
As President Dilma Rousseff takes the stand in her defense during her impeachment trial in Brazil (for corruption), Americans might be heartened to learn not all the crooks are in Washington.

"What's in a Scoop?" Ask Scoopy Doo! According to the EPA, a single gram of dog feces can contain 23 million fecal bacterial coli forms. Bacteria and parasites that can be transmitted to humans are often found in dog waste, putting innocent children at risk of some very serious infections. Even our area's beautiful waterways are put at risk by pet waste, which contains nutrients that promote the formation of algae. As the algae grow, it enters and overwhelms the streams and tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, destroying habitats for aquatic life such as fish, oysters and crabs. The only way to avoid such dangers is the prompt, proper clean-up and disposal of pet waste, but with today's busy lifestyles, cleaning up the yard is often a chore that keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the "To-Do List". Enter companies like Scoopy Doo. This enterprising firm specializes in pet waste disposal throughout Maryland, Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia. Their clients include homeowners, schools, park managers, homeowner associations, municipalities and more. With more and more people concerned about health and the environment, pet waste removal has turned into big business for Scoopy Doo. They even belong to a professional association, The Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists. In addition to ridding backyards, parks and other common areas of pet waste, Scoopy Doo also offers pressure-washing and sanitation for areas plagued by goose, duck and pigeon droppings. They can provide specialized sanitation stations as well, where pet owners may dispose of individual waste bags in a secure, deodorized container, which is then properly emptied by trained technicians. You might think this is much ado about poo, but the dangers posed to pets and children by the bacteria and parasites found in animal waste are very real. If you can't keep your area clean, hire someone who can.

By Chris Jones
The 2016 Olympics in Rio was an undeniable victory for the UK. Despite being geographically tiny compared to the other frontrunners, Team GB placed second in the overall rankings table. It seems only fitting, then, that the most high-profile entries in the recent New Year's Honours list are athletes that worked toward Britain's Olympic success story. Headlines will naturally celebrate the inclusion of sporting stars Andy Murray, Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis-Hill.
They're recognisable names, ones we're accustomed to celebrating because of their success. Farah and Ennis-Hill are popular gold medal winners, while Murray is the world number one tennis player and current Wimbledon and Olympic champion. But consider, for a moment, that their place among the honoured list, while well-intentioned, detracts from the success of others on the list lacking a celebrity image.
As the official government website phrases it, the honours list is meant to 'recognise the achievements and service of extraordinary people across the United Kingdom.' The honours are admittedly diverse, awarding remarkable achievements in less glamorous areas of work such as politics, education, and public service. But the inclusion of already famous celebrities overshadows these achievements, as people will focus their celebration on the people that they already attribute to success.
In total, the list included 1,197 people, so expecting everyone awarded an honour to be championed by the headlines is unrealistic. Still, by pushing celebrity names to the fore of the list's coverage, the media further undermines the actions of the ordinary citizens who fill out the list. Most of their accomplishments pertain only to local communities, so while a nation-wide appreciation of their achievements is unlikely, it isn't unreasonable to expect those living in the area to know which locals are being awarded. And yet, you would be hard pressed to find someone from Cardiff aware of the fifteen locals considered worthy of making the honours list.
That's not to say I think people should be ashamed for not knowing this; I certainly didn't before writing this article. Like most people, I was only aware of the athletes, actors, and other celebrities that have been lauded by the media coverage.
This is hardly a new trend, either. Chris Hoy, Ben Ainslie, and Bradley Wiggins are only a few of the many athletes to have been awarded knighthoods for their work in sports. This is particularly the case following an Olympic year. When the 2013 new year's honours were announced, the list was headlined by the athletes who participated in the London 2012 Olympics.
I'm not arguing that these athletes aren't worthy of praise. They're each at the top of their respective sport, so it's easy to think their place on the list is warranted. But consider that each of them have already been awarded for their skills. Gold medals, trophies and titles have already been awarded to them, so it's fair to think that they've been adequately championed for their achievements. Their place in the list undermines the greatest message that the New Year's honours sends to the nation: that ordinary people achieving extraordinary things should be celebrated. As it stands, they are undeservedly being overlooked.

On July 23, 1536, Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of King Henry VIII, died after a brief illness. He was only 17 years old, and his death came as a massive blow to his father, who was left without a male heir.
Henry Fitzroy was born in 1519. His mother was Elizabeth Blount, a lady-in-waiting in the court of Catherine of Aragon, and his father was none other than King Henry VIII. The baby boy was named Henry after his royal parent, and was given the surname Fitzroy, meaning "son of the King".
Although the King took many mistresses with whom he had many illegitimate children, Henry Fitzroy was the only one who was officially acknowledged. Despite her six pregnancies, Queen Catherine had only given birth to one surviving child, a daughter, Princess Mary. For the King, the birth of Henry Fitzroy showed the world his ability to sire boys, and he proudly showed off his infant son to the court.
When he was six years old, Henry Fitzroy entered Bridewell Palace, where he is believed to have been a part of the royal nursery. A short while later, he was given Durham House as his own residence in London. This marked the beginning of Henry's elevation in court. The boy was soon created Earl of Nottingham, making it the first time since the 12th century that an illegitimate son of a King was raised to the peerage. In an elaborate ceremony, he was also made Duke of Richmond and Somerset.
In the years that followed, Lord Richmond, as he was now known, was granted a number of appointments, including Lord High Admiral of England. He received an annual income of £4,845 from the King, and moved to Sheriff Hutton Castle in Yorkshire.
By this time, King Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon had begun to deteriorate, and it become unlikely that they would have any more children. The King had no legitimate male heir to succeed him, and so it was suggested that Henry Fitzroy marry his half-sister, Princess Mary, to strengthen his own claim to the throne. However, the plan never materialised, and Henry married Lady Mary Howard, the daughter of the Duke of Norfolk in 1533. The marriage was never consummated, and Lady Mary never remarried after her husband's death.
In the same year, the King had also married his second wife, Anne Boleyn, who he hoped could provide him with a legitimate male heir. However, Queen Anne failed to do so and was executed in May 1536. After Anne's death, an Act was passed in Parliament to exclude her only daughter, Princess Elizabeth, from the line of succession. At this point, it was thought by many that the King would proclaim Fitzroy as his heir, despite the fact that he was illegitimate. However, before any decisions could be taken, Henry Fitzroy was diagnosed with consumption, and died at St. James' Palace.
With this death, King Henry lost a potential heir to the throne; besides, he had a great deal of affection for the boy who had been his only son for 17 years. However, he didn't mourn for long – his legitimate son, Prince Edward, was born a little over a year later. Prince Edward would succeed his father as King Edward VI. Like Henry Fitzroy, Edward too died of a respiratory illness when he was 15, and was succeeded by his older half-sister, Mary.

Kristian Matsson, better known as The Tallest Man on Earth, doesn't need much for an introduction. The Swedish born singer-songwriter rocks a style so unique and unmatchable that most who've heard him once could recognize his sound anywhere. Blogs often attribute that unmistakable quality to his voice, for which enough treatises exist that I'll save the space here. However, seeing Matsson live, it's quickly clear that his yearning croon is still the reason he's owned just about every stage, from intimate KEXP sessions to massive festivals, with not much more than a voice and a guitar.
But now that he's touring on his fourth studio album, Dark Bird Is Home, out on Dead Oceans, the larger question remains, what more does The Tallest Man on Earth have to prove? Maybe nothing. After all, in front of a packed crowd still eager to luxuriate in the weeping euphoria of his wrenching ballads, Matsson could easily relax and treat the rest of his touring days as a metaphorical victory lap. Instead, The Tallest Man on Earth chose to create something different. With the help of a slick new backing group (featuring Michael Noyce, the baby-faced, falsetto wielding assassin who also plays with Bon Iver), Mattson and his band combined to make songs more bombastic and triumphant than ever, and as such, presented a more compelling question: what's left to explore?
Moving towards a more stripped down sound, opener Lady Lamb, a.k.a. Aly Spaltro, ditched her own backing band in favor of a solo set. Armed with nothing but a Fender guitar and her alternately sweet and raw vocals, the singer-songwriter from Bruin, Maine, harnessed vulnerability like a scalpel in relentless pursuit of any and all heartstrings at The Moore, even going so far as to profess that she lacks the confidence for guitar solos. Spaltro effused the type of casual cool that transforms cavernous theaters into cozy living rooms. As she churned through disarmingly honest tracks such as "Billion Eyes" from 2015's After (Mom + Pop), her set slipped into the vibe of a stirring but laid-back wine party where everybody's invited and no story is off limits. Only the giant forms of light reflecting from Spaltro's s tuning pegs onto the theater wall betrayed the intimate scene she'd so immaculately set. In spite of her at times self-deprecating nature, it's clear that Lady Lamb is a tried and true professional.
Not often does the The Tallest Man on Earth get to take the stage as the more elaborate and production heavy act, but with each member of a five man band commanding multiple instruments, that's exactly what happened. And where that extra pizazz could easily water down the pure union of vocals and guitar that fans have come to love about the Swedish folk act, the extra pieces instead acted as a perfect balancing factor. Drums, bass, and reverb-drenched sax offered pop tracks like "1904" and "Slow Dance" more zest, while at the same time building towards an addition-by-subtraction release point when Matsson went solo for classics like "The Gardener" and "Love is All". Perhaps the most striking combo was the guitar duet between Matsson and Noyce for "Where Do My Bluebird Fly." The two man team captured all the immediacy of a solo performance while adding the tension and movement that comes with two sounds running into, between, and over one another in tight choreography.
And in fact, movement may be the best way to sum up The Tallest Man on Earth's set. Between dancing on top of subwoofers and sliding around nearly every inch of possible stage, Matsson makes sure that no matter how morose the material, sedentary moaning will never do. Maybe that's why Dark Bird is Home, written in the wake of divorce and the death of a close family member, is some of his most grandiose work to date. Maybe that's why even after reaching great peaks in both critical and audience appreciation, the dedicated artist shows no signs of slowing down. Maybe that's why when The Tallest Man on Earth throws his guitar pick to the ground in emphatic exhaustion after nearly every song, we never doubt that he'll soon reach for another.
For longtime followers of the band, it's a little strange that Modest Mouse has now spent more time as a big-name ticket than a scrappy indie rock band from Issaquah, but in retrospect, the band's current status goes along with Modest Mouse's singular trajectory. Although many would label them wi...
At the end of Alabama Shakes' set at Marymoor Park, there was a conspicuous absence: their biggest hit. "Hold On" just isn't the song that introduced the band to a wider audience, it's still one of their greatest moments. On paper, its omission is bewilidering to say the least. (Hell, even the no...

Joy Laville: The First Fifty Years
Award-winning Mexican artist Joy Laville presents a retrospective exhibition of her works over the past five decades by marking her first in Dallas in more than 30 years. During the 1980s, Laville's four exhibitions in Dallas attracted many collectors who have treasured her work and can now see the evolution of her painting over five decades. A new generation can discover this singular artist, whose painting, they will observe, is like a river: always the same, always different.
Age has neither slowed Laville down nor diminished the strength that imbues her work. The uniformity of the fifty works in the exhibition reveals how at age 91, the artist paints as well as, if not better than, in 1962, the year of the first work in the MAC show. Her characteristic pastel colors, which belie the power of the landscapes or the immediacy of the women she paints, render an environment where events develop, where she observes them happening, without judgment or opinion. A woman lying between two rocks in front of the sea is presented, as simply another element in the universe. A woman has dropped her book after falling asleep in a lazy afternoon. A seascape seems timeless until we notice what is barely perceptible-two figures standing below the path of an approaching dark cloud. For Laville, each of these moments of knowing takes place in a weave of time, space, and light.
Born in England in 1923, Joy Laville arrived in Mexico in 1956, without a plan of how long she would stay. After marrying the writer Jorge Ibargüengoitia, she made Mexico her home and now lives in the town of Jiutepec. Following Ibargüengoitia's death in an airplane accident in 1983, Laville began making paintings related to the accident. The paintings are as subtle as they are present: As she stands embracing a bouquet of flowers, a falling airplane is shadowed in the background. She paints herself with only one eye open; it is too much to see with both eyes. Despite being sought after by collectors, she is equally respected as a painter's painter. In Mexico, she has been the recipient of every major award, from the acquisition prize by the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1966, to the prestigious Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes, presented by the Mexican Senate, and the Bellas Artes Medal, both awarded in 2012. Joy Laville's work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada, and in London and Paris, and hangs in numerous private and public collections.
Noted art historian and patron Salomon Grimberg, Dallas, is curator of the fifty works in the exhibition. He is widely published in the field of Latin American art and is well known for his expertise on Frida Kahlo. The curator is expected to attend the opening reception.
This exhibition is presented in partnership with The Mexico Institute in Dallas. themexicoinstitute.org
Chuck and George: Magnetron Parfait…Beware!
Chuck & George present an immersive installation channeling a bit of 1970's kitsch. Consistent with their reputation for whimsy, a pyramid of Low-Tech pop art microwaves containing various items such as a turducken gravy boat, sweet piglet pussy pie, and melting parfaits of flattery, create a fantastical tower of lights, sounds and motion. Over-sized tacky wallpaper, grotesquely huge linoleum tiles and an insanely large electric cord plugged into a gigantic wall socket add to the comic and disturbing environment.
Brian K. Scott and Brian K. Jones joined artistic forces and created "Chuck & George" in 1990 at the University of North Texas in Denton. The duo eventually found their way to the Oak Cliff area of Dallas in 1996 where they continue to cohabitate and collaborate. "The Brians" and Chuck & George have been part of the Dallas/Fort Worth arts scene for decades including the 500X, Gray Matters, Mighty Fine Arts, Conduit Gallery, The McKinney Avenue Contemporary, RO2 Arts, CentralTrak and the Webb Gallery in Waxahachie. They have maintained and operated the Oak Cliff Visual SpeedBump Art Tour since 2000. They also collaborate as Art Services Collective, creating high end custom murals for interior designers and architects. Their small home is their largest running collaboration, described as a "rave for your eyeballs", and has been included in several organized bus tours and charitable events
Chuck & George's work is most often autobiographical. They state: "Our interests are revealed through the exploited humor and beauty of ourselves and loved ones. We shamelessly admit to using this unflattering portraiture as a way to explore our vision of reality, and of course admit to using mockery as a devise. The artistic exploration begins with the identification of a theme and the investigation of it with various forms of media, usually painting, printmaking, sculpture, animation and 'constructions'. With these tools, we approach our subject as something to be promoted, similar to an advertising campaign, or a public health service. Common threads throughout our career is storytelling, 80's pop songs, vintage television, kittens, comics, art history, domesticity, childhood, love and violence."
The artists will be in attendance at the opening reception. chuckandgeorge.net
Flor Garduño: Trilogy
Garduño will exhibit selected works from her photographic publications, including Trilogy.
Trilogy is a collection of the works Garduño realized throughout many years of photography in Mexico and Europe. Her great and magnificent visual production develops through a "dance" in three movements. The overture is Bestiarium, in which real and fictional images of enchanted animals come to life as metaphors of our dreams and passions. Then we have Fantastic Women, a celebration of the feminine universe and of the mystery and sensuality that spring from the female body. The dance ends with Silent Natures, where Garduño contemplates wilderness because, quoting the photographer herself, "Whenever I think of Silent Natures, I must confess that I created these photographs for myself, to maintain my playful spirit throughout all these years."
Two other significant experiences shaped Garduño's style and career. The photographer left school early to work as a darkroom assistant for Manuel Alvarez Bravo, the most influential Mexican photographer of the 20th century. She perfected her photographic skills by processing prints in silver, platinum and palladium. In 1981, she began working for the Secretariat of Public Education. Under the direction of photographer Mariana Yampolsky, Garduño traveled to rural villages throughout Mexico with a team of photographers and artists seeking subjects to illustrate primary school textbooks for indigenous communities. Yampolsky, who had worked with Manuel Alvarez Bravo in the 1940s, was known for the humanistic approach to Mexican culture in her photographs, which usually featured women and vernacular Mexican architecture. These experiences gaveGarduño the opportunity to learn about rural Mexico, especially the plight of indigenous peoples, and helped hone her own unique style, which infused descriptive photography with mystical archetypes characteristic of Mexican Surrealism. Today she is known for her haunting images of native peoples throughout the Americas, along with her symbolic nudes and still-lifes.
Flor Garduño's work is in the permanent collections of several public institutions including: The Museum of Modern Art, NY, NY; the Art Institute of Chicago, IL; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, AZ; the Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City, Mexico; Bibliothèque National de France, Paris; Museum Ludwig, Köln, Germany; and many other public and private collections.

We are testing ET1 JB, we tested connecting the device on more XP based PCs. All our XP based PCs are having service pack 3. On some PCs, the device supported storage mode and on others not. We tried every possible way, but it did not connect to all PCs. We are unable to understand this behaviour of the device.
The ET1-JB OS uses MTP ( Media Transfer Protocol) instead of USB Mass Storage Mode. The MTP drivers are installed by default on Windows 7, but on windows XP you must install the drivers separately.
I've found that the easiest way to accomplish this is to install the latest windows media player for XP . You could also install MTP through this method. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19153

-Sophia Monson of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin was presented a prize package and cake in honor of Museum milestone-
Milwaukee, Wis. – August 14, 2018 – The Milwaukee Art Museum proudly congratulated 8-year-old Sophia Monson of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, the one millionth child reached by Kohl's Cares programming at the Museum. While building a sculpture in the Kohl's Art Generation Studio, Sophia, her father and baby sister were surprised with a prize package made up of Milwaukee Art Museum merchandise, a gift bag of art supplies, a $250 Museum gift card and a cake to share with other families at the Museum.
"We are so proud that we could celebrate the one million milestone with Sophia, her dad and sister," said Emily Sullivan, Director of Youth and Family Programs, Milwaukee Art Museum. "Since Kohl's began their support in 2008, Kohl's Cares has helped us make the Milwaukee Art Museum a truly family-friendly world-class art museum, opening up new possibilities for families and children from the entire region."
Since 2008, Kohl's Cares has supported a variety of family-friendly programs including the Kohl's Art Generation Studio, the Kohl's Art Generation Lab: Haitian Art, Kohl's Color Wheels out in the community, Kohl's Family Sundays, Kohl's Storytime in the Galleries, and the Kohl's Art Generation Touch Tour app. In 2017, Kohl's Cares also took on sponsorship of the Museum's policy of free admission for kids 12 and under, keeping the program intact.
Sophia said her favorite parts of the Museum are "looking at the art and making art."
Kids 12 years old and under are free every day the Museum is open thanks to Kohl's Cares.

The Eco PulsarS automatic winder is manufactured by Savio Macchine Tessilli, Italy, and is based on cutting edge technology. With innovation as its hallmark, the Eco PulsarS with its several new features is setting new benchmarks in performance and quality.
Eco PulsarS has already carved out a niche among the leading textile players in India with many machines already running successfully. Presenting consistently superior performance in terms of huge power savings, productivity, yarn quality, ease of operation, maintenance, and space optimization, Eco PulsarS is emerging as the preferred choice in the Indian market.. A.T.E. and Savio are working together to serve Indian customers with this most advanced automatic winder. One of the first customers reaping the benefits of the Eco PulsarS winder is Muthur Murugan Mills Ltd (MMML), located on the outskirts of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. The mill which currently has a capacity of 14,000 spindles was established in 1989 by S P Chinnaraj and S S Rajkumar with a single open end machine of 192 rotors to manufacture cotton yarn. Since then it has grown steadily.
MMML has attained power independence with the installation of wind mills for a reliable, eco-friendly power supply to the unit. The uninterrupted power supply helps MMML to meet the demands of its customers consistently without any disruption. With flexibility in terms of composition as well as quantity, MMML can develop a wide range of yarn and fabrics based on the customer requirements.
The following are extracts of an interaction with S C Vijayavelu, Executive Director of Muthur Murugan Mills Ltd.
You are one of the first yarn spinners to install Savio's Eco PulsarS winding machine. What convinced you to take this decision, and also to repeat it?
Yes, this is a really interesting question! I have already answered this question to a lot of yarn spinners who asked me. First, when we were thinking about purchasing an automatic winding machine, we had the other suppliers' machine models running or installed and working in many mills in India. But the decision we took to buy Savio's Eco PulsarS was on the good trust and reliability in Savio products through the Savio POLAR model which was highly successful and well established for years.
When it comes for Eco PulsarS, we could see the concept and the technology was new and that this provides lots of advantages to the buyer; when the Savio team explained us in detail about those features we could see that others do not have these technologies. Further, the clearer-LOEPFE and the splicer-MESDAN are the best in the industry which everyone knows are from the group of Savio. These all reasons made us decide to go with Eco PulsarS.
And once the first machine was installed, we found and experienced that the technology of Eco PulsarS started delivering as committed and we are pleased to repeat the order.
We are fully satisfied with the performance of the Eco PulsarS and the sales and service. We trust in the Savio team and in their new generation technology, they deserve a real applause for their efforts.
How far are your expectations fulfilled with Savio's new model winder Eco PulsarS?
Our expectations are 100% fulfilled with this Eco PulsarS 80 drums when it comes to power. We are getting the lowest ever UKG at present with desired production and excellent package quality. The air consumption is also less when compared to others. We are comfortable with the hard waste as it is below the limits for our warp and knitting quality. In labor too, we have considerable savings with higher production. The overall performance is unmatched with other auto winders even with Savio's earlier model as well.
Apart from technology, what is your feedback on after sales/sales support?
Savio after sales is really excellent and we have never expected so much of support from them apart from the technology. This will again enhance the confidence in Savio Eco PulsarS to a large extent.
After the sales responsibility was taken over by A.T.E., we could see a huge difference in the way of approach and process which is highly appreciated. We are highly satisfied with their regular follow-up and their updates to us as and when required.
What are your future plans as a spinner?
We strongly believe in "Let our quality speak." Our future plans are to expand into the industrial textile market and to increase our capacity of production with new generation machinery. We want to grow more in the domestic market.
