- An INSIDER poll asked respondents about their familiarity with some of the biggest stars of Super Bowl LIII between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots.
- Unsurprisingly, Tom Brady was far and away the most recognized name on the list, with an impressive 83% of respondents familiar with the Patriots star quarterback.
- The Rams comparatively are relatively unknown, with quarterback Jared Goff garnering about the same name recognition as Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski.
- Follow along with all of Business Insider's coverage of Super Bowl LIII here.
Die-hard football fans are incredibly familiar with the stars competing in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday.
Between fantasy drafts, national games, and watching their favorite teams week to week, those that would identify themselves as a committed football fan are likely familiar with the biggest playmakers on both the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots.
But on Super Bowl Sunday, with more than 100 million viewers likely tuning in for the big game, NFL diehards are outnumbered by casual fans by a wide margin, with people looking forward to watching not just the football, but the commercials, the halftime show, and the rest of the fanfare that comes with a Super Bowl broadcast.
And when it comes to the casual sports fan, the Patriots are a team of superstars, while the Rams are still relatively unknown.
INSIDER ran a SurveyMonkey Audience poll that ran January 22-23, 2019 where we asked respondents to check off athletes and coaches they were familiar with ahead of the Super Bowl, naming some of the biggest stars on both teams, specifically coaches, starting quarterbacks, and pro-bowl caliber players on the roster.
Looking at the numbers, it was immediately clear which team the public was more familiar.

Unsurprisingly, Tom Brady was far and away the most recognized name on the list, with an impressive 83% of respondents checking him off the list, making him the only player to hit 50% or higher. Following him were two other stalwarts of the Patriots dynasty – head coach Bill Belichick and tight end Rob Gronkowski, who were checked off by 46% and 44% of respondents respectively.
Comparatively, the Los Angeles Rams are far less known. The biggest star on the team is running back Todd Gurley, whose name was checked off by just 24% of respondents. Quarterback Jared Goff was next with 23% name recognition – only slightly ahead of Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who 22% of respondents recognized. Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein, who hit two impressive late field goals to lift the team over the Saints in the NFC Championship, was known by just 13% of respondents.
Bill Belichick and Rams Coach Sean McVay – who reportedly formed an off-field bond throughout the season – have wildly diverging star power, with the young coaching phenom notching 22% name recognition, half of Belichick's. Roger Goodell, the league commissioner who's gone head-to-head with the Patriots more often than the Jets, had 41% familiarity.
The Patriots hold the advantage in star power, but that doesn't mean people are rooting for them. The same INSIDER poll found that just 20% of viewers will be cheering for the Patriots on Sunday, compared to 41% of respondents cheering for the Rams and 37% of respondents saying they don't have a preference on who wins the game.
In football as in life, being known is not the same as being liked.

By Christopher Lawlor
NEW YORK – What could have been one of the largest upsets in the history of high basketball fell short on Thursday.
Top-seeded Montverde (Fla.) Academy can breathe easy now because of momentary lapse. It was a moment torn from the 1993 NCAA Final Four tableau when Michigan's Chris Webber called a timeout when the Wolverines did not have any left. Eventually it was the turning point in a seesaw game with North Carolina.
Fast forward a quarter century and Cinderella's glass shoe was mashed to a jillion pieces when eight-seeded Lone Peak (Highland, Utah) called a timeout with 19.8 seconds remaining in a tie game.
The result—bench technical foul on the Knights.
"I have 95 coaches on the bench," Lone Peak coach David Evans said. "Ultimately it's our fault the coaches but don't allow that to overshadow a great game."
Evans is right but the facts are cold and hard in this case. Montverde survived a white-knuckler 87-82 over the Knights in the GEICO High School Nationals quarterfinals at Christ the King High School's Father John Savage Memorial Gymnasium.
The game was knotted at 82 after the Utahans made a historic comeback after trailing by more than 20 points throughout the second half. RJ Barrett, the national player of the year, then made one of two to make it 83-82. A foul by Lone Peak allowed Michael Devoe to can two more and Barrett added the finishing touches from the charity stripe.
Tough why to lose, right?
"I want to see them lose like that," Montverde coach Kevin Boyle said, jokingly. "Lone Peak did a great job; they are a good disciplined team and well coached. That's one of the best second half performances by a team that I've against one of my teams in 30 years of coaching."
The undefeated Eagles moved into the semifinals for the second straight year to face fourth-seeded Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) on Friday at 5 p.m. EDT on ESPN2. It's a matchup of similar teams that love to run, defend and showcase superior athletes.
The game had the markings of a blowout. The nation's consensus No. 1 team versus a disciplined program with eight state titles in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains.
The threes started raining down in the closing minutes and the Knights inched closer to a stunner. Twice in the final 1:50 the Knights finally tied it and took a brief lead—only their second of the contest—at 82-81when Chantry Ross (20 points) drilled an NBA 3-pointer that blew the roof off the joint.
With 34.5 seconds left, the Duke-bound Barrett canned one of two free throw for a tie and then the unreal conclusion. Barrett was sensational with 33 points (15 of 20 free throws) and Andrew Nembhard added 16.
Utah State-bound Steven Ashworth netted all 29 points after the break, making 7 of 14 threes and Jackson Brinkerhoff had 11. Ashworth will postpone his collegiate career starting this July with a two-year LDS missionary in Indiana.
"We're always letting people know that we belong; some teams will underestimate us," Ashworth said.
Ashworth drained a pair of threes in the opening four minutes of the final period but the Knights trailed 75-69. They reduced the deficit to three points in the first minute but the resilient Eagles flexed their muscles with Barrett hitting two driving baskets.
At the four-minute media timeout, Barrett had 25 points and Ashworth 22. The crowd sensing an exciting finish was looking for a March Madness Cinderella story.
Strange things began to happen in the third quarter. First, Lone Peak decided to match Montverde basket for basket. Then Steven Ashworth, the team's leading scoring and Utah State recruit, awoke from his first-half slumber. Ashworth dropped in 16 points, including four threes.
Chantry Ross's 3-pointer with 13.4 seconds left in the third brought Lone Peak within 66-59 and pulled the fans into its corner. After the timeout, Nembhard broke down the defense, slithering in to give the Eagles a 68-59 advantage.
The Knights refused to cave, even when the Eagles, were ready to pounce and pour it on. When Max Brenchley nailed a 3-pointer with 1:20 left in the half, Lone Peak dropped the deficit to 11 points at 36-25. Montverde would take a 39-25 edge into halftime.
Barrett had 14 points and Andrew Nembhard added nine as Montverde received scoring from eight players. The Eagles were lethal in the paint, holding a 32-4 edge, including 12 in transition.
Eighth-seeded Lone Peak, reliant on the treys (5 of 11 for 45.5% in the second quarter), received eight points from Jaxon Pollard and six from Chantry Ross. Ashworth, who averaged more than 16 points per game and surpassed 1,000 career points earlier this term, was in unfamiliar territory without a point in the first half.
If Lone Peak was in awe, it did not show it in the first half. Twice in the second quarter, Boyle burned timeouts to pull his team together.
In the first quarter, the Eagles raced to a 21-8 lead. Barrett added another clip to his impressive highlight-reel career with a flying, one-handed dunk, making it 8-3. Barrett cocked the ball behind his back and rammed the orange globe through the cylinder. It was pure joy for the adoring crowd that oohed and in admiration.
Barrett totaled 11 points in the first, draining all five attempts. Lone Peak was only 3 of 16 from the floor but were victim of sticky man defense that Montverde unleashed.
Later in the game it was Montverde's will to win that prevailed.

Syria Needs to Stop Terrorists Infiltration from Turkey and Jordan: Al-Moallem
"Syria needs the necessity of focusing efforts to dry up the sources of terrorism and to stop infiltration of terrorists into Syria by international resolutions", Syrian foreign minister Walid al-Moallem said.
His reiteration came during a meeting with Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi on Thursday evening, as al-Moallem is paying a visit to China that will last until December 26.
Draining sources of terrorism is in compliance with the Security Council's resolutions relevant to combating terrorism, especially resolution no. 2253, and would help in pushing forward the political solution to the crisis in Syria, said al-Moallem.
As he presented the Syrian position on the issues of international efforts and means for countering terrorism and solving the crisis in Syria, the primary subject of the talks, al-Moallem stressed that the Syrian people stand firm in their battle defending Syria's territorial integrity and will not accept any foreign interference in their right to self-determination.
Chinese State Councilor, for his part, stressed that his country supports the efforts seeking a political solution in Syria and facing the humanitarian repercussions of the crisis there along with fighting terrorism.
Beijing, he said, will continue providing support and humanitarian assistance to Damascus.
He considered the Chinese position as one of "supporting justice" as the Syrian people's battle is one of "defending their existence and historical position."
Yang reaffirmed in this context that it is all down to the Syrian people with their will and determination as they alone have the right to decide their country's future.
Means to develop bilateral relations and the importance of continuing communication and mutual coordination between China and Syria were a point of interest highlighted during the talks, Sana reported.

Vehicle Insurance coverage Validity In The EU
It appears the claimant had burned her rear end on a heating pad, and sent in photos to prove it!!! assume that each mechanics however not totally different folks have xray eyes , granting them the power to see your difficulty with their free eyes , and by no means with their equipments. I then called the salesman and suggested him, If you want to play the Lacking Man Recreation, good. Nonetheless, I'll provide you with half-hour to substantiate the price we had agreed on or I'll buy from one other dealership". It was ironic how the supervisor was able to call me 10 minutes later and confirm the worth.
Is there one thing moist beneath there? If it is not water from the air conditioner, then it could be a leak. Use digital deterrent gadgets. Rodents can hear ultrasounds that we cannot, and it annoys them. Some study to ignore it. These with strobe lights like Mouse Blocker or Rid-a-Rat may match for longer durations, as they disrupt the darkness that rats choose.
I used to be supplied insurance coverage two days ago after I bought my new iphone (3GS, they'd been out of the 4G's) on account of I lost my completely different cellphone. Now, I will return and purchase that insurance coverage. Thanks, Paul, for the shared experience. Really fascinating read. I've lived with no automobile for plenty of years and I do understand it cuts down bills and tensions a lot. Good to know you may be enjoying life with out the hassles of preserving a automotive.
Your automotive insurance coverage coverage premium would possibly change relying in town you are transferring to. That's simply because motor insurance costs are fixed based mostly on the registration zone of the automobile. All metro cities (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune) are part of Zone A, which has a better fee of premium than the remainder of the nation (Zone B). So in case you're shifting from a Zone B metropolis to a Zone A metropolis, your motor automotive insurance coverage premium will increase and vice versa.
I wish I might need learn the part in regards to the Driver's License sooner. I went to Tampa Hondaland within the present day to check drive a CR-V and the salesperson deliberately stored my license. This accomplished three points for him: 1) Compelled me to work along with him an additional time (Preferably, for him, in particular person) 2) Gave him the opportunity to be a hero, as I am sure most individuals fall for this. and three) I can not take a look at drive vehicles at different dealerships until I get that license once more. I LIKED the 2014 CRV. Nonetheless, this not solely means I will not be searching for from that supplier, nonetheless I will not be searching for a Honda. I realize these scumbags are in all places, but Toyota & Nissan haven't executed me like that, so I'll be in a RAv4 or a Rogue as an alternative.

Submissions open for MPA/APSA Academy Film Fund
The Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) and Motion Picture Association (MPA) has announced the 2015 MPA APSA Academy Film Fund is open for submissions.
The announcement was made at the MPA-BFM Film Workshop Closing Ceremony during the 5th Beijing International Film Festival.
The fund, an initiative to encourage collaboration in the region and extended to projects in their script development stage, is open to all members of the APSA Academy and all 2015 nominees once they are announced later in the year. The Academy, established in 2008 to encourage dialogue, collaboration and business opportunities for the region's filmmakers boasts some 750 of the region's most respected names in film.
The 2015 film fund grant recipients will be determined in November by an expert industry panel drawn from the Asia Pacific and announced at the 9th Asia Pacific Screen Awards ceremony from the historic City Hall in Brisbane, Australia's New World City and the permanent home of the event, on Thursday 26 November.
The 2015 MPA APSA Academy Film Fund will take the total number of feature film projects supported by the initiative to 24. The Fund was established in 2010 with the aim to stimulate film production in Asia Pacific.
Four of the projects are already completed and have won multiple awards including an Academy Award®, (A Separation), an International Emmy Award for documentary (No Burqas Behind Bars), Best Film from the Arab World at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival and the APSA UNESCO Award (Memories on Stone) and have premiered at festivals including the Berlinale and the Toronto International Film Festival.
Mike Ellis, President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific, MPA, said, "The idea to establish a film fund with APSA to support new feature film projects has surpassed all of our expectations. Not only does the MPA APSA Academy Film Fund receive world-class script treatments, but many of the projects go into production, and many of those find acclaim on the world stage, winning awards, entertaining audiences, and contributing something of value to cinema culture. We are excited to announce the opening of submissions for this year in Beijing, and hope to see many more great script ideas come our way."
The fund is granted to filmmakers at all stages of their careers, from new and emerging talent to some of the most established, awarded and renowned filmmakers in the world. Recipients with their funded projects in various stages of production include the high profile filmmakers Zeynep Ozbatur Atakan (Winter Sleep, Turkey), Sergey Dvortsevoy (Tulpan, Kazakhstan), Mohammad Rasoulof (Goodbye, Islamic Republic of Iran) and Suha Arraf (Lemon Tree, Israel), Kath Shelper (Samson & Delilah, Australia), Ainsley Gardiner (Boy, New Zealand) and Garin Nugroho (Opera Jawa, Indonesia).
Film Director of the Asia Pacific Screen Awards and the Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival (BAPFF) Maxine Williamson said 'Films from China have been strongly represented at APSA over the past nine years and won many awards. Prestigious filmmakers from China have also sat on the International Juries of APSA and we greatly value the ongoing working relationship with the China Film Producers Association. It is fitting to be able to make this announcement from Beijing together with the MPA, in the same year that Australia sends the largest ever delegation of film practitioners to the Beijing International Film Festival, a true sign of the ever growing relationship between the two countries. We look forward to welcoming more filmmakers from the People's Republic of China to Brisbane in November for the 2015 awards, following a very big year for the People's Republic of China at the awards in 2014.'
On Sunday at the Australia-China Film Industry Forum Networking Event in Beijing, the Australian Ambassador to China, Her Excellency Ms Frances Adamson, presented the 8th APSA Jury Grand Prize to the filmmakers of Blind Massage (Tui Na, Produced by Nai An, Li Ling, Kristina Larsen, Wang Yong, (People's Republic of China, France)).

By Ben Hayward | Spanish Football Writer
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics, wrote Mark Twain. He wasn't talking about Jose Mourinho, but he might have been. The Real Madrid coach claimed this week to be the "champion of the cantera" and after reeling off a list of the homegrown players who made their debuts between 1999 and 2003 (when Vicente del Bosque was in charge), the Portuguese told the press he had given 26 youngsters their opportunities in the first team. But it was only a half-truth.
When Jose Rodriguez made his first-team debut – and scored – in Wednesday night's 4-1 win at Alcoyano, he became the 15th Real Madrid youngster (not including Jose Callejon who left and was bought back by Madrid) to graduate under Mourinho in official matches, with the others from the 49-year-old's list having featured only in friendly games. There had been an element of manipulation in the Portuguese's claims, but he had only been trying to defend himself from malicious media criticism in recent times.

Bold – Still at club
* – Returning stars
Mourinho has come under the spotlight for failing to place faith in the club's youngsters. Despite missing three full-backs – Marcelo, Fabio Coentrao and Alvaro Arbeloa, through injury – the former Inter boss opted instead to field midfielder Michael Essien on the left, which had disastrous consequences in the 2-1 Champions League defeat at Borussia Dortmund recently.
Mourinho, of course, is being judged on results and is perfectly within his right to pick the players he sees fit – the ones he believes are the most likely to bring home the three points. But the Portuguese has history, having neglected young players at Chelsea and Nerazzurri in favour of well-established stars.
The 49-year-old, of course, can point to his titles and his trophies. Those results speak for themselves. However, having signed a long-term deal at Madrid, it may now be time for the Portuguese to look at a two-tier project: signing the best players in the world, but also blooding youngsters. With many of Madrid's games ending in comprehensive victories, there would be no harm in introducing a young player in the final stages.
They have to be good enough, though, and Mourinho cannot be blamed if Madrid's canteranos are not up to scratch. Good games for Castilla, the club's B side, are no guarantee of first-team success, while the coach has complained that B-team players are either too old or operate in positions which do not exist in his own XI. Nevertheless, observers hope players will not be allowed to slip through the net as has happened too often in the recent past. Juan Mata, Roberto Soldado and Alvaro Negredo are notable examples, although perhaps only the former would be likely to challenge for a first-team place at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Perhaps the real problem for Madrid is the constant comparison with Barcelona. The Catalan club currently possess the finest group of homegrown players in their history, but football is cyclic and after Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi, the conveyor belt of talent may not be able to keep producing at the same level.
Barcelona's success, however, is the fruit of hard work and dedication. When Johan Cruyff left Camp Nou as a player in 1978, he told the club they must match Madrid by building an Ajax-style academy.
It took time, but in the early 1990s, following another period of Madrid monopolisation (with the Quinta del Buitre between 1986 and 1990), Barca came of age under Cruyff himself, winning four Liga titles on the trot to punch above their weight and match the capital club over a sustained period for perhaps the first time in their history. And all because, as Pep Guardiola later admitted, the club had taken heed during the late 80s, when it was Madrid's homegrown heroes dominating the scene, not Barca's.

Bold – Still at club
* – Returning stars
Guardiola was one of the first successful products of La Masia and the former club captain continued to respect the tradition during his time in charge at Camp Nou, handing first-team debuts to 22 academy graduates, as well as bringing back Gerard Pique and later Cesc Fabregas from spells in the Premier League to reunite them with their former Cadete colleagues.
And unlike Mourinho's men, many of the players who made their first-team bows under Pep (with Tito Vilanova as assistant) have gone on to make a significant contribution at the highest level – not just a fleeting cameo.
Pep and Tito were blessed with talented players who have gone on to form the base of the Spanish side which has excelled in international football over the last four years, winning back-to-back European Championship crowns as well as a maiden World Cup in South Africa.
Mourinho will argue that if the players are good enough, they will get their chance, but it seems inexplicable that right-back Dani Carvajal was allowed to march off in the summer to Bayer Leverkusen when the club were looking for a player to compete with Alvaro Arbeloa in that very position.
Carvajal may yet return, just as Pique and Cesc did at Barcelona, but there is a real sense of frustration at Madrid right now when it comes to the young players. Are the players really not good enough? Or is Mourinho's short-termism harming the future of Madrid when he should now be building a team to compete – as he himself has claimed – for the next 10 years?
The answer lies somewhere in between and while Mourinho once claimed that Barcelona were obsessed by the prospect of winning the Champions League at the Bernabeu (which he put paid to by claiming the title with Inter himself in 2010), it now seems to be Madrid that are preoccupied by the Catalans' continued success with young players.
So after Barca learned from their fiercest rivals in the 1970s and then again in the 1990s, perhaps it's now time Real looked in the mirror and reflected on how they can improve their own system. Mourinho included.

A British charter airline is set to begin flying tourists from London into Palm Beach International Airport next spring, initiating the county's first European air service, tourism officials said Tuesday.
Britannia Airways, which is owned by Thomson Tour Operations of London, will offer weekly service from Gatwick Airport starting May 6. Thomson will fill the 328 seats on Britannia's Boeing 767 planes with travelers who purchase a vacation package to Palm Beach County.
The charter flights are only available to travelers from the United Kingdom who buy the Thomson packages. No service will be made available for travel from the West Palm Beach airport to London.
International charters fly into airports in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The Thomson deal is just what Palm Beach County has been looking for, said Mary McCarty, a county commissioner who chairs a tourism advisory board.
"We have a customs facility at the airport that's been sitting vacant. This is a tremendous coup for us," said McCarty.
An immigration and customs center at Palm Beach County's airport, which offers international service to cities in Canada and the Bahamas, was completed a year ago.
Prices on the Thomson packages have not yet been set, but with the favorable currency exchange right now, "it's cheaper for Brits to fly to Palm Beach County than to spend two weeks in Spain or Portugal," said W.E. "Mac" McLaughlin, president of the county's convention and visitors bureau.
McLaughlin estimated the county's economic impact from the agreement with Thomson at about $40 million, saying more than 80,000 hotel room nights will be booked through the tour packages.

A divorce is one of the worst things that can happen to you in life or one of the best ones. The way you see your divorce is a actually a matter of perspective more than anything else. Yet, there is no denying the fact that unless your divorce had you being subject to abuse of some sort, ending of the relationship is bound to leave a sting in you.
Ending a relation is not the easiest thing to do in life, harder is ending a relationship that was pledged to last a life time. After a divorce irrespective of whether it was a divorce mediation or litigation, your life is at a stop. You may have resources to help you live through the future but the life after divorce is much like walking in an unknown lane.
Yet, as with everything else in life, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Once you have gone through divorce and have started to live life, you will look back at your divorce and recall the lessons that you have learnt.
There are many lessons that you learn from the way you handled yourself in divorce and the life after it. Some of these are highlighted below.
· Only your family and best friends stand by you when you are at the lowest point
When you go through a divorce there are many times when you will find yourself down and out, struggling in life. At those times the only people that are typically with you to give you solace and to comfort you are your family and true friends.
· I can achieve so much in life without the other spouse knocking down my efforts
Sometimes in marriage, one of the spouses can be prevented from reaching their true potential because of the negativity of the other spouse that stops them from achieving all that they should. Once they have gone through a divorce, they may realize the potential that they have.
· Realizing the value of your kids and the importance of parenting
When you go through a divorce and the thought of not being able to see your child each and every day comes to your mind you may feel empty inside. Living life post divorce can show you the amount of things that you took for granted during your married life need to be respected, admired and cherished.
· Seeing how strong you really are
Going through a divorce is no easy task; the harder task is actually recovering from it, leaving it in the past and starting a new life. This is important since it shows you how powerful and emotionally and mentally strong you can be.
So it is important to reflect on the divorce, learn from it, and focus on what you have and what the future can hold. Reflecting only on the failure of your marriage and thinking negatively will not let you move forward and live the best possible life you can.

A brand is a unique identity based on a promise of value different from others. Logos and names are the cornerstone, but logos and naming are hard. Trust us, we've been doing professional service, association, B2B service and other logos, names and identities for the better part of 30 years. We've been at the creation of hundreds of corporate and product brand logos. And we've lived to tell about it.
Why logos matter
The development of corporate identities is solidly rooted in the history of our cultures. In fact, the development of logos—the modern equivalent of heraldry—parallels the rise of capitalism. Throughout time, no one has doubted the power of the image. Before humans could read, they could understand symbols, learning to love them or fear them, hate them or laugh at them. On that foundation, that basic activity of memory, rests the tradition of the corporate logo. Logo has come to mean the graphic associated with a company, product or service.
What Is A Visual Identity?
Of course, the logo is just one visual element in the identity scheme. Though it is the cornerstone of the identity program, only the consistent application of that logo, coupled with a family of colors and selected type styles, gives your markets a memorable vision of the firm or company. Inconsistent messages are confusing. Consistency, the spirit of effective communication, can't be overdone. Most businesses have too few opportunities in front of clients to waste them with more than one message. Services are intangible, and therefore their quality and reliability cannot be felt or seen or heard. So buyers place inordinate emphasis on the tangible indicia of you and your work—such as your letterhead, your business card, your email signature, your proposal documents and website.

I believe its important for people from both sides of the track to be treated as human beings. When you see a finely dressed person you might find someone who is a complete mess on the inside. Then you might see a person who might not be in the best appearance have their lives together. Judging someone for what you see on the outside is not right. Having favorites is a human condition.
We live in a grand global community where there are people are in different places and spaces in life and at some point we will all go through things that will cause us to struggle so no matter what our outsides are its what is on the insides that matters most. Our hearts and minds are sensitive places and caring for that is what will get us through life. Loving others is a great thing and loving yourself while you are at it is a truly special thing to do.

With more than 50% of the world's population living in cities, more food that ever is being raised outside of cities and trucked into cities.
The food isn't being grown where the people are, and where the food is begin grown, there isn't a lot of people.
This creates a bit of a divide between two groups whose survival depends on the other group. The people in the city need the food and the people in the country need the urban markets to sell product into.
Today we'll look at this divide from the point of view of the city dweller, focusing on what and how the city dweller views and values the food they consume.
The goal of this conversation is to shed some light on this view, so the farmer can take that information and run with it helping them to better market their product.
It's marketing 101. Who's your audience and what do they value with Rob Avis and Javan Bernakevitch.

Europa Fund IV's Residential Investment Land platform, managed by Europa Capital and St Congar Land, has acquired a 50% interest in Toads Hole Valley, Brighton. The strategic land investment comprises a greenfield site of circa 100 acres, which has allocation for residential use and the potential of providing over 700 homes. The vendors have owned the site since the 1930s and will be jointly collaborating in the land promotion with their remaining 50% interest.
The Toad's Hole investment builds on Europa Capital's extensive experience of investing in UK residential land, which since its initial investment in 2010 has resulted in the acquisition of nine sites that represent an aggregate housing provision of 7,300 units to service the continued shortfall in new housing supply within the UK.
Hugo Black, Partner at Europa Capital said: "This provides a great opportunity to acquire the last remaining sizeable greenfield land site capable of providing residential use in Brighton. This acquisition is a continuation of our strategy of investing in UK residential land where we see potential to add value by providing much needed quality housing to the city."

I started working on a project which require communication with multiple radios. I started looking at nRF24L01 chip and found it to be very useful, cheap little device which has many features built-in. Initially I got two AVRs to talk to each other through the simple library found here (http://www.tinkerer.eu/AVRLib/nRF24L01). But I found multiple issues with the library when the number of nodes in the network increases,
- Didn't support retries
- Dynamic packet sizes
- Channel scanning, etc
It was a simple library to start with and understand how the radio actually works in different configurations. I didn't want to spend lot of time implementing all features I wanted so started looking around for complete libraries for nRF24L01, and I found RF24.
RF24 is one of the most complete libraries available for the nRF24L01[+]. So I implemented my project using RF24, It was an excellent library for AVRs (Arduino), but there was no port for devices running linux, as one of the nodes in my network was running linux I had to hack the code in order to get it to work on the beaglebone. So I had to spend a weekend hacking the RF24 library to come up with a very thin layer below the library to support all its features on embedded linux boards. I used a beaglebone for testing.
This is a Beaglebone port of the popular RF24(nrf24l01) library posted on https://github.com/maniacbug/RF24/.
If you find the library is out of sync with the Arduino library please drop an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Contains portions of the GPIO library posted here,
Complete wiki can be found here
- Refer to RF24 documentation.
- You need a beaglebone with SPI enabled. Look here for a tutorial http://www.yellowfeather.co.uk/2012/03/userland-spi-on-the-beaglebone-with-ubuntu/
How to connect the pins
- I used one of these boards to test the library. http://iteadstudio.com/store/images/produce/Wireless/RF2401/RF24013.jpg
- Connect PIN 1 (GND) of NRF24L01 board to Expansion header P9 PIN 1(GND) of Beagleboard
- Connect PIN 2 (VCC) of NRF24L01 board to Expansion header P9 PIN 3(3v3) of Beagleboard
- Connect PIN 3 (CE) of NRF24L01 board to Expansion header P9 PIN 27(GPIO3_19) of Beagleboard
- Connect PIN 4 (CSN) of NRF24L01 board to Expansion header P9 PIN 25(GPIO3_21) of Beagleboard
- Connect PIN 5 (SCK) of NRF24L01 board to Expansion header P9 PIN 31(SPI1_SCLK) of Beagleboard
- Connect PIN 6 (MOSI) of NRF24L01 board to Expansion header P9 PIN 30(SPI1_D1) of Beagleboard
- Connect PIN 7 (MISO) of NRF24L01 board to Expansion header P9 PIN 29(SPI1_D0) of Beagleboard
- Note that the library uses a GPIO pin in BeagleBone as CS pin, which is an workaround/issue exist in the code. Planning to fix it whenever I have time.
- Project is written using NetBeans and I have commited some files used by netbeans IDE.
- main.c contains a program which prints out the information of the connected NRF24L01 device and ping demo.
- you may need to upload the Arduino sketch in 'pingpair_dyn_arduino_pongback' directory to a Arduino board in order for both Beaglebone and Arduino to run interactively.

Many of Donne's poems, and Metaphysical Poems in general, sound like someone tying a complicated knot. Like a bowline. Or, a half-hitch. Or, a sheep shank. OK, so the kind of knot isn't important. What's important is that it has to be tied just right. Same thing goes with trying to prove that death isn't scary using only a single, fourteen-line Petrarchan sonnet. In general, we've got two contrasting strains in the poem, which are like the two ends of a string we use to tie the knot.
The first strain is what Death thinks he is. The second strain is what Death really is. Let's try it out. In the beginning, death thinks he is "mighty and dreadful" because people call him that (line 2). But, then, the second strain gets looped in, and we learn that death isn't either of these things. Easy enough.
How about lines 3-4? Well, Death thinks that he can kill or "overthrow" people, which is one end of our knot, but it turns out that Death can't kill anyone at all, which is the other end of the knot. As you can see, the second end of the string does all the complicated twisting and looping around the first end of the string. With each line, Donne makes the knot a little thicker. Fortunately, compared to some of his other poems, this one is relatively easy to untangle.
Some people complain that Donne's sonnets don't have a consistent rhythm or meter. Sure, the poem is in iambic pentameter, but it breaks this pattern as often as it follows it. As in this line: "One short sleep past, we wake eternally" (line 13). In the phrase "short sleep past," all of the words seem equally accented, and, then, there's a huge pause in the middle (as our two strains get tied together). But, it's not that Donne lacks regularity: the knot-like pattern is his regularity. He goes back and forth, up and down, down and through. Sometimes, it sounds like his sentences come at you in reverse: "From rest and sleep, which but they pictures be, / Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow." If that isn't a knot in words, we don't know what is. But, that's the point.
The other thing about a knot is that everything must come together at the end to make a grand loop. Donne's sonnet does this. The poem begins on an apostrophe to Death and ends on one. The final statement sums everything up – with a twist. We think Donne would make a great Boy Scout.
This poem has no title. See another section.
OK, OK, we should probably say something about the Holy Sonnets. "Death, be not proud" belongs to a sequence of poems known as the Holy Sonnets. In all, there are nineteen. And, no, Donne is not an arrogant jerk who thinks that his poems are sacred objects – the title just means that the poems are about religion.
The poems are not published until after Donne's death in 1631, but they appear in editions of Donne's work in 1633 and 1635 under this name. "Death, be not proud" is usually known as the tenth poem in the sequence, or Holy Sonnet X. But, this number is arbitrary, too. It appeared as X in the 1635 edition, but not in the earlier one. A lot of people just refer to it as "Death, be not proud" based on the first line, although, as we point out in our "Detailed Summary," there is actually no comma after "Death" in the original version.
Do you need to know any of this? Probably not. But, it goes to show that titles are a lot more fluid back in the English Renaissance. Poets don't feel the need to name everything: they can just let the work speak for itself.
We don't call Donne a Metaphysical Poet for nothing. "Metaphysics" is the study of the reality beyond the physical, everyday world, and "Death, be not proud" is a good example. There are hardly any images of the "physical" world which we're so used to seeing in poetry. It uses philosophical arguments, rather than descriptions of nature. But, hey, that's not going to stop us.
Here's what we know: in the fictional world of the poem, the speaker gets to address, or talk to, something that most people never get to talk to: Death. So, you've got to visualize him. We'll stick with a skeleton wearing a black cloak and carrying a sickle, but, if you want to put Death in a tutu, go right ahead. We also know that Death is the only thing positioned between the speaker and eternal bliss. So, we imagine him as a big guy who stands in the middle of a doorway, blocking the path as if to say, "If you want to get through this door, buddy, you're gonna have to get past me."
On the speaker's side of the door, there's life on earth, filled with both pain and joy. On the other side of the door, there's the afterlife, which we hope means Heaven. Death looks really proud; in fact, he's "swollen" with pride (line 12). You know you've got to cross the doorway eventually, but, when you do, Death will use a killer Sleeper Hold on you – worse than any that the WWF wrestlers can come up with. But, when you wake up, it'll all be over, and Death will be gone, guaranteed. And, that's where the poem leaves us. What happens next is up to your imagination.
The speaker of this poem finds himself in something like a David and Goliath situation. You might remember David from the Bible: he's the skinny kid from Israel who takes down the biggest, meanest giant in the land with only a slingshot. The speaker doesn't even have a slingshot – he only has his wit, or the ability to talk circles around his enemies. He's got all the verbal tools: apostrophe, rhetorical questions, puns – the whole nine yards.
The speaker of the poem believes himself to be a good Christian, so he's confident he'll eventually make it to Heaven. Even so, Death is nothing to sneeze at. The speaker sounds confident, even cocky, when he tells Death that he isn't so "mighty and dreadful." But, despite this appearance, the speaker must be quaking in his boots. He has to summon all of his courage just to keep it together. If he shows any weakness, he knows that Death will pounce all over him.
By the time the poem takes a "turn" in line 9 (as any good Petrarchan sonnet will do), the speaker really lays into Death, calling him a slave and making fun of his friends. We imagine he's right up in Death's grill at this point, poking his finger in his chest. Fortunately, he ends the poem on a killer line about how Death will die. This probably leaves Death scratching his bony little head. And, as is always best to do when you tell off someone bigger than you, we imagine that the speaker doesn't stick around for when Death finally comes to again. He gets the heck out of there.
It's hard to keep track of all the different ways that he uses the word "death" in this poem. But, it's clear that none of them make the hooded guy with a big sickle sound very scary or powerful. Donne can write devilishly hard and confusing poems, but this is one of his most accessible.
"Wit" is hard to define. Jane Austen has it. Oscar Wilde has it. ESPN SportsCenter has it. And, John Donne has it in spades. We wouldn't want to get in a verbal jousting match this guy: we'd get wrecked. It's hard to define "wit," but it roughly translates as the ability to think on your feet, use complicated puns and wordplay, and to deliver bone-crushing comebacks that the other person doesn't even understand until ten minutes after the fact. Then, you're like, "Wait a minute, did he just insult me?!"
You can thank Petrarch for all the sonnets you have to read in school. This 14th century Italian poet isn't the first person to write sonnets, but he makes the form popular all across Europe, including England. He is the Elvis Presley of the sonnet. But, just as with rock 'n' roll, new poets keep fiddling with the sonnet form, tweaking it slightly to fit their needs. Shakespeare, for example, uses a different form of the sonnet, which we call "Shakespearean" for that reason. But, Donne stuck to the original. Mostly.
The Petrarchan sonnet has fourteen lines and a rhyme scheme that goes ABBAABBA and then, most frequently, CDCDCD. But, "Death, be not proud" finishes slightly differently. Its last six lines are CDDCAA. If you look closer, there's even more weird stuff going on at the end. For example, line 13 has a word near the end, "swell'st," that rhymes with "dwell" and "well" from the previous two lines. He just sticks a rhyme in the middle of the verse: very strange. And, the last two lines don't seem to rhyme well at all: "eternally" and "die." You have to pronounce it "eternal-lie" to make the rhyme work. No one is sure exactly what Renaissance English sounds like, so it's possible that they did pronounce the word this way. But, it's also possible that Donne wanted the rhyme scheme to fizzle out at the same moment when death "dies."
Another feature of a Petrarchan sonnet is a shift, or "turn," in the argument or subject matter somewhere in the poem. In Italian, the word is volta. Usually, the turn occurs at line 9 to coincide with the introduction of a new rhyme scheme. That's the case for "Death, be not proud," although the turn isn't major. The speaker sharpens his attack and starts calling Death names, but he doesn't fundamentally change his argument. If you want to rebel, you can argue that the real turn doesn't happen until the middle of the last line, when Donne drops this shocker: "Death, thou shalt die." At the very least, we think it's the most surprising move in the poem.
Finally, the Petrarchan sonnet has a regular meter: iambic pentameter, which means that each line has ten syllables, and every second syllable is accented. That's the reason, for example, that "Thou art" has to be condensed into one mouth-cramming syllable, "Thou'art" in line 9. Otherwise, there would be eleven syllables in the line.
But, what about the first line? For one thing, it begins on an accented beat: DEATH. Truth be told, Donne's pretty loose with his iambic pentameter. For him, iambic pentameter is less of a rule and more of a general guideline, like that "No Horseplay" sign at your local pool. Of course there's going to be horseplay! It's a pool! And Donne sometimes counts a big pause as a syllable, which is why line 1 seems to only have nine syllables: because of the pauses in the line, it takes at least as long to recite.
Welcome to the land of symbols, imagery, and wordplay. Before you travel any further, please know that there may be some thorny academic terminology ahead. Never fear, Shmoop is here. Check out our "How to Read a Poem" section for a glossary of terms.
Death is a total poser in this poem, like a schoolyard bully who turns out not to be so tough, after all. The speaker even makes death out to be a good thing, because it leads to the new life of Christian eternity. Plus, everyone bosses Death around, from kings to suicidal people. Finally, a lot of the poem's wit comes from combining literal and symbolic uses of the words "death" and die."
Donne didn't invent the comparison between death and sleep, but he uses it here to great effect. But, you have to know a tiny bit of Christian theology to fully understand the idea. It is thought that, when faithful Christians die, they are only "dead" until the Day of Judgment comes and Christ returns to Earth. They compare this length of time to a period of "sleep." At this point, time ends, eternity begins, and all the faithful Christians who died will "wake up" to be led into Heaven. At this point, all their earthly troubles are over for good, and they will be at "rest" with God.
Death hangs out with a bad crowd, like the kids who hang out behind the bleachers and try to talk you into vandalizing things on Halloween. Unfortunately, they aren't cool at all. They're big losers, in fact, and Death knows it – which is why it's such an insult when the speaker points out Death's connection to poison, war, and sickness. And, that's not all. Death – this big strong guy – isn't even his own master! All these other people tell him what to do. It's like when you learn that the bully who torments you at school actually has his own bullies in the next grade up. It may not prevent your daily beatings, but it makes you feel a whole lot better about it.
There's only one example, and it's a play on words, but we wanted to give Birth a little love, too, because it's nothing but Death, Death, Death for most of the poem.
There's nothing like thoughts of death to kill your sex drive. This poem is like a cold shower.

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Kapoor's romantic date night
Shahid Kapoor and Mira Kapoor tied the knot in 2016 and ever since then; the power couple has always made headlines. Be it their social media PDA or regular appearances together which give us a glimpse of their solid chemistry – these two always end up giving us couple goals. Painting the town red with their romance last night, Shahid and Mira were snapped on a dinner date in the city.
Looking adorably cute together, these lovebirds left the restaurant walking hand-in-hand. Mira Kapoor made a stunning appearance as she donned a tube dress with minimal make-up. Shahid, on the other hand, kept it easy and sporty. The actor wore a casual grey tee shirt with black Givenchy shorts along with yellow glasses and a snapback.
As they happily posed together, you take a look at their photos below…

Tappers Wintergreen Gin - 50cl - 39.6% ABV
Winter seasonal expression
Wintergreen is our winter seasonal gin. Inspired by the British wintertide, and produced during the cold months of the year when the frosts set in and every breath forms a cloud, Wintergreen is an aromatic artisan gin hand-crafted from start to finish using the traditional method of compounding.
Truly artisan
Wintergreen is independently produced in small batches at Tapper's Distillery on the Wirral. The resulting tipple – like all compounded gin – has a natural amber-hue from the infused juniper berries. Each 50cl bottle is individually filled, labelled and wax sealed by hand.
Tasting notes
Wintergreen brings together spruce needles, birch bark, cassia bark and meadowsweet with five other valuable ingredients for a crisp taste of Wintertide. Bright, high notes give way to a smooth and dry finish.

"... [Late Tuesday's songs] are ethereal things of beauty

- What's Up Magazine
"In February of 2000, a new sound emerged from Bellingham, Washington. A foundation of acoustic guitar, piano, and Rhodes establishes a framework for the beautiful interwoven vocal harmonies of Late Tuesday. The band creates musical tapestries reminiscent of pop-folk singers such as Sarah McLachlan and the Indigo Girls, while establishing a sound that is uniquely their own.
Fronted by Dana, Tara, and Jocelyn, with added support for live performances by Tyler Cooper (drums) and Jon Korstad (bass), Late Tuesday has become increasingly prominent in the Northwest music scene since 2001. The group has developed a strong regional following t

The Name of Death sucks the reader into a quest of both epic and tragic proportions. Joshua Robertson has mastered the art of the short story, encapsulating a satisfying and compelling story into a few short pages. This is a feat few other novelists can boast of, especially when it comes to works that tie in with a series. The world building is easy to follow and all necessary details regarding history and cultural differences are imparted with the bare minimum of exposition. The characters are compelling and their differing beliefs and personalities introduce just the right amount of minor conflict to the story. While The Name of Death is a complete story, perfectly readable as a stand-alone, it's full of tantalising plot hints of the larger world of the Thrice Nine Legends Saga. This is sure to delight fans who've read Joshua Robertson's previous novels, and is a tempting lure for those who haven't.

E3 2016: Ubisoft Media Briefing Impressions
Ubisoft kicked off their E3 2016 showing in the usual Monday slot, with a host of big franchises making an appearance.
To say the show started off with a bang would be an understatement, as dancers in all sorts of different costumes got moving to Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now', from Just Dance 2017. It was quite the spectacle, and a fun way to start the show.
The MC for the night was again Aisha Tyler, who was funny and self-deprecating. The first game shown was Ghost Recon: Wildlands, for which the cinematic trailer looked fantastic.
The game is set in a huge open world and was shown off in a long gameplay demo. The intense trailer had multiple locations, large environments, and even had a car chase. The game looked good but ultimately fell a little flat for me. At the end of the presentation, a release date of March 7, 2017 was given.
The next trailer showed a what seemed to be a criminal state running wild through the US, but in truth was just a gag to introduce South Park: The Fractured But Whole – already a clear winner for the best name of E3.
The creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, took the stage to discuss the game. The sequel picks up from the end of South Park: The Stick of Truth, and instead of playing fantasy characters, the main characters are playing super heroes.
The gameplay showed the humor we are looking for from this property, and they did not hold back. Some of the new features are class creation, updated combat system, and more of a backstory. With the improvements to combat, there is a new movement system in place, which is a good idea.
A ton of footage was shown for the game, which looked quite impressive and polished. A release date of December 6, 2016 was announced to loud cheers.
For Tom Clancy's The Division, some impressive facts were given out – there are up to 10 million players, who are playing up to three hours a day, which I found staggering.
The Underground DLC was discussed too, with a release date of August 2, 2016 for PS4 announced. A trailer for the next expansion pack followed, titled 'Survival', which is all about the harsh weather and surviving the elements.
Next was Eagle Flight, which was shown in PvP with folks from Oculus and Ubisoft playing. Eagle Flight was the most disappointing demo shown, partially due to not being able to experience it yourself, which is sure to be a common theme with upcoming VR games. It looked really bland on the screen and not fun at all.
The opposite can be said for Star Trek: Bridge Crew. Set in the J.J. Abrams universe, you play as bridge members of the Starship Aegis, with VR used quite effectively to set you in the universe.
As a Star Trek fan, this title interested me very much. A launch time-frame of Fall 2016 was given and it will be available for all major VR units, including PlayStation VR.
Next up was a cinematic trailer featuring For Honor, which looked very good. This is a melee combat game somewhat like the Dynasty Warriors series. You are able to play as a few different races or classes like Barbarians, Vikings, and Samurais. The combat demo looked like the action is fast and furious, which was great. For Honor is set to release February 14, 2017.
After a successful showing and launch since last year's E3, there is a sequel to Grow Home in the works, named Grow Up. As Bud, players will be on their own this time, with the title set for release this August.
Trials of Blood Dragon was up next and was very unique. This side-scrolling adventure seems very off-beat but true to the Trials formula. It is available today to download.
For Watch_Dogs 2, we were treated to a Dedsec Infiltration mission. This vertical slice of the game looked very promising and seemed to correct some of the issues of the first game. The game allows you to decide for yourself how to go about finishing the mission. Also announced was early access to the DLC for PS4.
The last game was a surprise to end the conference, and promises to be a unique experience. Steep is an open world extreme sports game. Anything from wing-suits to snowboards are available to use and it looks beautiful.
Ubisoft had a great line-up this year, with VR and new IPs along with sequels and new ideas. While nothing was earth-shattering or a huge surprise, Ubisoft has proved why it remains one of the biggest publishers in the industry.

Recently, I outlined the three things I need to do before I can launch the Indiegogo campaign: finalize the budget, shoot the video, and set up a company.
Today I worked at finding a crew for the Indiegogo video. Right now I'm trying to see if I can utilize my network to see if anyone will be able to join the crew for the Indiegogo video. It's going to be a tiny crew: just someone to act as Director of Photography (control over the camera) while someone else will handle audio. I might also get someone to handle lighting assuming they have their own equipment. This way I can concentrate on delivering the pitch and I can deliver a higher-quality Indiegogo video.
If I can't find someone within my own network then I'll expand the search to the general public.

Yobe government on Friday confirmed 906 fresh cases of cholera with 61 deaths and 50 others still on admission in hospitals across the state.
Dr Muhammad Kawuwa, the Commissioner for Health, stated this in a statement in Damaturu on Friday.
He said Acute Water Diarrhea (AWD) cases were reported in some parts of the state and later confirmed to be cholera after laboratory tests.
"Some of the AWD cases were caused by Vibrio bacterae, the bacteria that cause cholera," the commissioner said.
According to him, 906 cases are recorded in six local government areas of the state: Gujba, Gulani, Damaturu, Fune, Potiskum and Nangere in two months.
"Over 795 patients were successfully treated and discharged, 50 are still on admission in various health facilities across the state.
"Unfortunately, we lost 61 patients mainly due to delays in timely reporting to the healthcare facilities for life saving treatment."
Kawuwa said the Ministry of Health, the World Health Organisation (WHO), University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Abuja were authenticating the causes of the outbreak.
"In the light of this and due to our continued concern for the health of our people, the state government is therefore declaring outbreak cholera in the state."
He said this was necessary to scale up response with the support of the international partners,
The commissioner identified personal hygiene, absence of sanitation facilities in the communities and flooding of water sources by the rains as possible causes of the outbreak.

Korean urban brand Style Nanda is having a major style moment in the past few years. Since opening their shops in 2004 their cool girl style has not only been trending in Asia but has also gained popularity overseas where they frequently shoot their ad campaigns. As part of the total package, Style Nanda offers a range of beauty products sub-branded as 3CE which caters to an aesthetic that's flawless, simple but with a pop of colour.
Brand: Style Nanda / 3CE (3 Concept Eyes)
Product: Back to Baby BB Cream* SPF35 / PA++ (one shade)
Size: 30ml
Price: $35 via YesStyle
Availabilty: YesStyle online
Would I (re)purchase: Undecided
Website: http://en.stylenanda.com
When it comes down to combination of texture, coverage, long lasting ability and overall effect I'd say this Style Nanda 3CE Back to Baby BB Cream is a very likeable product. Personally there were a are issues with colour as well as pore coverage that prevented this from being a total hit with me. Having little to no skincare benefits, I'd categorize this as a luminous, medium coverage foundation rather than a bb cream. A good product none the less and one that I can see myself reaching for until it's gone but not quite a perfect pick for me.
