Homemade Kimchi Dumplings
Adventures in fermentation part 2: Kimchi (in coconut wrapper dumplings). -

 First homemade kimchi and success on second attempt at coconut wrappers! Fermented vegetables like kimchi and sauerkraut are a great way to add live cultures and probiotics to your diet naturally for intestinal health. It is as simple as applying salt liberally to the vegetable, letting its natural liquids to seep out, then submerging the vegetable in its own juices for weeks. No added cultures required. Under optimal salt concentrations and temperature, the lactic acid bacteria present in the raw vegetables convert the natural sugars in the vegetables into lactic acid, which preserves the vegetables.

I used 1 teaspoon salt to 3 cups julienned cabbage, carrot and red pepper, and a seasoning paste of pepper, garlic, ginger, scallions and chili flakes.

The antimicrobial ingredients in the seasoning paste help speed up the ferment, perhaps by inhibiting the growth of undesirable bacteria. Morsels of heaven.

SED Update: Keeping you Posted
There seems to be a lot happening at SED.
From a leadership perspective, Hal Matott is no longer head of the rate setting unit; Phyllis Morris has taken over the reins of the unit.
From a rate perspective, the new methodology is due out sometime in April from SED. The preliminary indication is that the methodology will include:
- A rate increase equal to whatever rate increase is provided to school districts. Right now this is 3.6%, but this is anticipated to go higher. The NY House and Senate have proposed increases of between 4% and 5%.
- In addition to the traditional tuition rates getting increases, SED is considering providing SEIT rate increases to the regional average rate at the same level as the tuition rate increases.
- SED is anticipated to recommend a $4 million increase to the ETTP grants, bringing them up to a total of $12 million. This is consistent with the level proposed by the Board of Regents.
- SED wants to explore revamping the reimbursement process to eliminate the reconciliation process. At this point, there is not much detail on how this would work, and it's not anticipated that a change in methodology will be developed for the 2019/2020 rate year. Phyllis is focused on this because of the large number of waivers (over 100) and the amount of time that RSU staff is spending on getting through these waivers.
Corporate Practices is Back. It's that time again … time to renew your corporate practices waiver. Practices should review their waivers to see when they expire and initiate the renewal process by accessing the website and e-mailing email@example.com with your questions on how best to proceed.
On the audit front … The NY City OAG's office has started doing audits of provider's IDEA funding. We have had several clients undergo these audits over the last couple of months.

The San Francisco 49ers' 1-2 start doesn't look disastrous from a pure record standpoint, but it's the way the team has been thoroughly dominated over the past two weeks that has people on edge right now. First-year head coach Jim Tomsula is now under the microscope, and we've got a sinking feeling that continued struggles will cost him his job after just 16 overall games. With that in mind, here's 5 Things Jim Tomsula Must Do To Save His Job.
1. Fix Colin Kaepernick
The 49ers starting QB was an absolute mess on Sunday, going just 9-for-19 for a paltry 67 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions. That's about as awful as you can play at QB if your name is not JaMarcus Russell. While Kaepernick's throwing motion has been overhauled, his footwork in the pocket is absolutely off-kilter right now. Tomsula needs to help him solve that and soon or we're headed for big changes after the season.
2. Feed Carlos Hyde
Hyde broke through the Vikings defense on opening night for 168 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. Since then, he's carried the ball just 28 times in two weeks for 94 yards and zero scores. Hyde is a rhythm back who's more apt to pick up seven-to-ten yard chunks rather than breaking one to the house once every ten plays. His yards per carry have dropped, but it's going to be crucial for Tomsula to bypass that and keep feeding Hyde until he starts putting things together at a consistent clip.
3. Reevaluate The Defense
Remember how the 49ers defense was lauded after the team's suffocation of the Vikes in Week 1? That's flipped a complete 180 since then. San Francisco has been gashed for 90 points over the past two weeks against the Steelers and Cards. They look both overmatched and undermanned -- a debilitating combo, especially with how much the offense is struggling right now. Fixing Kaepernick is huge. However, Tomsula's job security hinges on getting this patchwork defense humming again.
4. Assert An Identity
Right now, Tomsula has the look of a lame duck coach. He's not exactly inspiring to watch and sometimes has a "lost puppy" look in his eyes on the sidelines. Yes, there's some bouts of major animation. But, some of it has the feel of a caraciture. That's not him from most accounts, but perception is huge in such an open-to-the-public business. Tomsula needs to grab this job by the throat and make the most of the cards dealt to him...and soon.Back to the San Francisco 49ers Newsfeed

Has anyone else encountered AWFUL customer service when moving from a location where FiOS was available to a new home where it is not? We're making the move and have been trying to get DSL in our new home b/c I couldn't stomach going back to Comcast and their abysmal service. I thought we were all set when I put in the order to cancel our FiOS service and have someone come out to the new house to install a phone jack for DSL, the sales rep scheduled everything and I thought we were in a good place. Well, after I wasted an entire day sitting in our empty new house waiting for the tech who was scheduled to arrive between 0800 and 1700, I finally called in and spent an hour getting bumped around from department to department before I was told that our original order never included a phone jack request and that they hadn't sent anyone out because of this. Then they told me they couldn't reschedule me because no one was around, but that they would call me back the next day with my new appointment. Sadly, I actually thought that would happen, so after all day Friday came and went without a phone call, I called in and everyone was gone for the weekend. So, then on Monday morning I spent two full hours on hold and getting transfered to different departments only to be told that I would receive a callback with my new appointment. I figured they wouldn't call back and I would have to break down and go with Comcast, instead they called me back and told me the earliest time they could get a tech scheduled to come out would be 8 days later. So, now I'm stuck with no internet in my new home until a week after we move when I should have had it a full week before moving. I'm really close to just calling Comcast and seeing if they can install internet before Verizon, and if so I'll probably bite the bullet and go with them. I'm wondering if this is an isolated incident or if, after 4 years of great service as a FiOS customer, this is what I should come to expect from Verizon as a lowly DSL customer? Anyone else suffered through a similar experience?
My biggest frustration with my Verizon DSL problems is continual breakdowns on central office equipment without the ability to refer them a trouble directly. My latest outage (24 hours) from 9/2/10-9/3/10 was a bad router in the central office. In six months of service I have been out of service eight times. The frustration is customer service in India cannot refer a trouble to Network in NJ (where the problem is) without following a protocol which requires I recheck my modem & PC adnauseum with them, even though the issue is a broken connection between the modem and the server. This is true even after a network trouble is issued. If you call them back for status, you need to repeat all the non problem finding checks, to get a status on the real problem in NJ.
I have also had terrible problems the last 7 to 8 months in new jersey with very similiar issues.
Ive had a problem with intermittent connectivity the last two weeks, and it seems like every time I call them, they have a different explanation. The last two days, i was scheduled to have someone come to the house to troubleshoot, and no one showed up. Some people I talk to say it is a problem with the central office, and will be resolved in 12 hours, but they have been saying that for the last 9 days. Other people schedule a tech to come to my place, but they never come, and dont bother calling to let me know, yet they demand that I wait there instead of going to work in case they show up.

Synopsys Posts Strong Financial Results for Fourth Quarter 2002
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California. December 4, 2002 – Synopsys Inc., (Nasdaq: SNPS) today reported its fourth quarter results for the period that ended on November 2, 2002.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, Synopsys reported revenue of $309.3 million and net earnings on a diluted basis excluding amortization of intangible assets, integration expenses, in-process research and development and insurance settlement expense (EBG) of $73.7 million, or $0.96 per share, consistent with our positive earnings preannouncement on November 4, 2002. This represents a 68% increase in revenue and a 146% increase in earnings per share on an EBG basis as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 revenue of $183.6 million and earnings on an EBG basis of $24.5 million, or $0.39 per share.
"2002 was a year of tremendous achievement for Synopsys," said Aart de Geus, Chairman and CEO. "Despite the challenging market environment, we were able to maintain our focus to deliver best- in-class products to our customers. At the same time, we successfully completed the Avant! acquisition, which is the most important strategic acquisition in our company's history. Though we remain cautious about the overall economic environment, we enter 2003 excited about our prospects ahead."
For the fiscal year ended November 2, 2002, Synopsys reported revenue of $906.5 million and net income, on an EBG basis, of $155.7 million, or $2.22 per share. Revenue and net income, on an EBG basis, were $680.4 million and $71.0 million, or $1.10 per share, respectively, for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2001.
On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, for the fourth quarter of 2002, net loss after amortization of intangible assets, integration expenses, in-process research and development, and insurance settleme nt expense, was ($97.8) million, or ($1.31) per share, compared to net income of $20.4 million, or $0.33 per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. For the twelve-month period ended November 2, 2002, net loss, on a GAAP basis, was ($200.0) million, or ($2.99) per share, compared to $56.8 million, or $0.88 per share, respectively, for the twelve-month period ended November 3, 2001. GAAP results for the fourth quarter and full year reflect the settlement of the litigation between Avant! and Cadence, which, though completed after the end of the fiscal year, is required under GAAP to be included in the 2002 financial results.
First quarter of fiscal year 2003 targets:
With respect to the fiscal year 2003, Synopsys expects to manage its business to generate $3.25 in EBG per share, and to hold total expenses flat at the first quarter fiscal 2003 level.
The foregoing statements are forward- looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected include, but are not limited to, the factors noted in the "Forward Looking Statements" section below, and in Synopsys' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

To introduce this topic we need to define the terms master and slave. By master we mean a device that controls one or more slave devices. A master device can potentially control an infinite number of slave devices.
If the master device is a computer, and the slave devices have an USB port, all these setups can be made via USB. If the number of available USB ports are too few to plug all the slave devices, it is possible to gain more USB ports using a port replicator. The setups described in this section refer to classic MIDI systems, made up using MIDI connectors and MIDI cables.
Here we have a master device (a keyboard) and a set of slave devices in a cascade set up (ext1 and ext2 could be an electric drum-kit and keyboard module for example):
Make sure you don't mistake the midi connections (in red) with the audio connections (in blue). The audio signals at each device's output are picked up and sent to the mixer to then be transformed into music. The MIDI OUT signals at the master's output is sent to the MIDI IN input of the Ext1 slave; a copy of this signal is also present on the MIDI THRU socket of Ext1 which thus gets sent to the Ext2 slave (for example, we can use channel 1 to pilot the Ext1 module and channel 2 to pilot the Ext2 module). This way the master pilots all the slave devices in cascade. The problem with this configuration is that the transferring process of the MIDI signal to each module's MIDI THRU socket introduces a slight delay. The devices are arranged in cascade and therefore all of the delays sum up, and if too many devices are present in the setup the overall synchronization of the devices will be at risk.
A sequencer is a device or a software which is capable of recording sequences of MIDI commands (one sequence refers here to one MIDI channel) and to subsequently reproduce them. For example, we could play a melody on a keyboard and record it onto a sequencer, then we could overdub it with another melody and so on. In the end, all the sequences we will have stored are run all together by the sequencer; in other words they are sent from the sequencer to the keyboard, and the whole piece will be re-played automatically.
The following diagram illustrates an example of daisy chaining configuration using a sequencer:
The audio signals (blue) are, as previously, sent to the mixer. Let's take a look at the MIDI part: our sequencer is a computer equipped with a MIDI interface and a sequencing software. The MIDI OUT socket of the keyboard (which is still our master) is connected to the MIDI IN port of the computer's MIDI interface. This allows us to "record" the sequences played on the keyboard-synthesizer onto the computer. The computer's MIDI OUT socket is connected to the master's MIDI IN (still our keyboard) in order to re-play the recorded sequences. A copy of this signal is then sent, by means of the MIDI THRU socket, to devices Exp1 and Exp2. However, we still have the same problems with data-transfer delay.
In the next section we'll be taking a look at a configuration that will help us to resolve this problem.
In any electrical setting a splitter is nothing more than a device which picks up an input signal and reproduces n copies of it at the output. An example of a splitter? Multiple adapter extension cables, such as those you get in households to have n number of current sockets out of a single socket. Splitters can either be active or passive. A passive splitter generally has very little circuitry, or in fact sometimes no circuitry whatsoever, and seeing that it doesn't reinforce the signal at all, it introduces a loss of signal every time it is split into two or more copies. So, it is impossible to create passive splitters with too many output sockets. This problem is resolved by using active splitters in which appropriate circuits reinforce the signal before it reaches the output sockets, thus bringing it back to the levels present in the input signal.
The following MIDI configuration shows the use of an active splitter which resolves the delay problems:
In this case all the devices are connected to the splitter (which introduces a delay, but since it is the only one in the chain of connections it doesn't affect the synchronization of the devices).
When more than 16 channels are needed we resort to MIDI interfaces with multiple outputs (MIDI OUT):
In this case each MIDI output handles 16 channels. As we have already said, on the sequencing software a sequence will correspond to a MIDI channel and will also be referred to one of the MIDI outputs. In the diagram we can see that the electric drum-kit sequence will be associated to channel 1 (usually electric drum-kits only have 1 MIDI channel associating all the sounds identified by the various notes) of the MIDI 2 output.

I felt my beauty for the first time when I was 42 years old.
I heard many mixed messages and I had not seen myself as beautiful or even pretty until I was nearly middle aged. As a child and adolsecent I heard, "You have such a pretty face, if you just lost weight." I felt so inadequate as a result of this half-hearted compliment.
When I began practicing the Ho'oponopono Meditation, these memories and others began to clear. I felt less pain. And I began to experience deep gratitude, empowering self-love, and self-forgiveness. These memories and phrases faded. And I remember the moment I said to myself
"I am beautiful". I wasn't looking in a mirror. I simply felt it and knew it to be true. I am beautiful.
Within a few months I pursued my Esthetics License.
Over the past 4 years I have created a space where women and men, teens and seniors feel their beauty. I offer reflective moments using the Ho'oponopono Meditation and Metaphysical Face Reading within the facial experience. I use only natural and organic products and essential oils in my services. This combination deepens the healing process. Clients free themselves from memories that created limiting beliefs about their self-identity. We then create new patterns for a mindset that moves them toward their ultimate goals. I give my clients more than a facial. I create an experience that expands your life.

As an avid soccer player and coach, I know it is important to have a suitable ball. First off, this ball arrived fully inflated, which is always a plus. This way I don't have to run around trying to find a pump and needle in order to inflate it. My toddler immediately started kicking it around the house once I was able to get it out of the package! I also love the feel of this ball. It is easy to grip and allows for easy ball handling. The colors are perfect, too. It is a little boring to play with a ball whose colors are dull or faded. The contrast between the blue and electric yellow is perfect. The colors make the ball easy to see.
The ball lends itself perfectly to beginners or soccer enthusiasts who want to hone their craft. Additionally, with both a bright pink and dark green color scheme, it is a terrific outdoor accessory for boys or girls alike. With an emphasis on solid construction, the Starlancer is a logical fit for anyone wanting to start a quick pickup game or practice skills like passing and scoring. At just over 8 inches tall, it is adept at being thrown in travel bags and taking up minimal space.
That Mikasa ranks #2 on the list comes as no surprise to me as I have had great experiences with Mikasa. This is a great mid-range soccer ball that falls into the match ball category. Many users have claimed that they have been able to play with these balls for a couple of seasons! That's unheard of for most soccer balls because the stitching begins to come off. This is a FIFA Approved Professional ball, meaning that it is up to the standards of professional players. This is rare to see an approved ball for this price. This is a great mid-range ball to have.
With 32 machine stitched panels, the American Challenge Brasilia comes together to create a soccer ball that has a beautiful, shiny outer casing. 4 color choices include Lemon, Lime, Orange, and Raspberry. The design on each ball is elegant without being distracting, and its surface is resistant to scrapes and scratches that ruin the aesthetic appeal.
You have to wonder if a brand recognized mostly for baseball can make a good soccer ball, but this one seems like a worthy effort. It certainly has the look and feel of a high end ball, and the overall build seems pretty solid. It looks like they put some effort designing this product. My son and his team practiced with this several times and I would say the wear and tear look normal. No tearing at the seams or unusual gashes. He says the padding gives the ball a nice, soft touch even when fully inflated. One bonus is, with such an uncommon soccer brand, it easier to identify if it gets lost on field. The reason for the lack of 5 stars is that our sample has trouble holding air after a couple of days. I do not know if it is a characteristic of the ball or
What is the difference between a high quality soccer ball and a low quality soccer ball? When purchasing soccer balls, many people buy according to the price of the ball. If a ball is expensive, that meant that it is a high quality ball and if it was a low costing ball, the ball is a low quality. That is not always true. Many players, coaches, clubs and even professionals do not know what type of ball to buy for their particular needs.

There are many different soccer balls on the market, but having a top rated ball can help you score the goal. You might be asking yourself, "How can the best soccer balls help me?" The top ranked soccer balls are created to last for years. They are made of durable material that can hold up game after game.
Our main intention of discussing the different types of balls is to educate you so that you can buy the right product. For example using practice balls on the street will bring you no good but some awful experiences as the ball will not last long. Similarly, an indoor soccer ball is not good to play on a beach. Keep this in mind when buying, and using a ball.
Adidas spared little expense with this soccer ball and made sure that the materials used could pass almost any standard for grass fields. First, the casing is made of polyurethane, providing a great balance between responsiveness and durability-though they further increased the responsiveness with 3D textures. The bladder is made out of butyl, so you will not have to worry about constantly reinflating it, while the ball is lined with soft and water-resistant polyester.
As an International Match Standard and NFHS (high school) and NCAA-approved ball, this one gets a lot of play out of high schools and colleges in the United States. And for good reason. Every time I played with a select ball, I knew what to expect and I got each and every time. Coming in a number of colors, this ball can be tailored to match your team while still looking classy with the white to contrast it. It has a latex bladder and is hand-stitched. This is a premium match soccer ball for the price of a practice ball. Definitely a ball to consider looking into.
My friend and I were kicking a soccer ball around the front yard. It was maybe 2007 and I was getting ready to leave for a couple weeks on a trial. Trying to be cute, I tried a handling skill where I flipped the ball up behind my back and then kick it with my heel so it comes back over my head again. So I kicked the ball too hard, it goes out into the street, and a truck promptly runs it over.
That Mikasa ranks #2 on the list comes as no surprise to me as I have had great experiences with Mikasa. This is a great mid-range soccer ball that falls into the match ball category. Many users have claimed that they have been able to play with these balls for a couple of seasons! That's unheard of for most soccer balls because the stitching begins to come off. This is a FIFA Approved Professional ball, meaning that it is up to the standards of professional players. This is rare to see an approved ball for this price. This is a great mid-range ball to have.
Soccer balls also need maintenance in order to extend their lifespan. Avoid putting unnecessary pressure into them like standing or sitting on the actual ball. Doing so can damage a soccer ball's pressure system, making it change its shape and structure. Don't kick the ball against hard, rocky or rough surfaces as this could puncture it easily. This may also cause you to get a new replacement ball.
These are used in international level matches and top league matches like UEFA Champions League, Italian Serie A, English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, Bundesliga, Major League Soccer. Not only these but also all the tournaments approved by FIFA. So you can easily understand that these are the highest quality balls with the highest level of air retention, shape, water absorption, trajectory, curve, and performance. Otherwise, FIFA would not have approved these balls.
We covered the quality in small detail above, but we'll look into a little further here. The quality of the ball you pick is very important. If you want exactly what the pros play with, then you will have to pay a little more as a result of picking the premium choice. Those balls fly better and more true than their counterparts, but they are not meant to be practiced with on a regular basis. Premium balls tend to have a softer impact on both your cleats and ankle guards to allow for more ball control and handling. After the "premium" match ball category is the "match ball" category. These aren't nearly as expensive as the premiums are, but are still very good in match situations. These aren't meant for practice, but they typically can hold up for extended periods of time, possibly a season or two. The third type is "training balls." These balls are meant for training and practice, and they can be used continuously without doing damage to it. I have some great training balls that have lasted upwards of six years! The quality of training balls has gone up drastically over the years that I have been playing. When I was younger, some of them were so hard that you'd feel like your foot was broken after kicking them. Nowadays, they literally feel like a premium ball with their softness and their flight. So, almost any ball is great nowadays from the right supplier!
While the ball features high-quality materials, the focus with this ball is all the smart features and less about the physical make-up of the ball, which doesn't come in handy when you're researching! What I did find with this ball is that it's match quality and built to last. It's also available in sizes 4 or 5 for multiple ages and training levels.
This ball has seen a lot of use since Christmas, and while that's not a good indication of how long the batteries and lights will last, my kids have been having a blast with it at night. This ball isn't like a normal soccer ball, it's more of a smooth rubber, so it won't have the same feel as a normal ball. It feels heavier to me too, but I didn't confirm that on the scale. Once or twice the ball turned off in use, but came back on after a minute. I recommend this ball as an outdoor nighttime novelty ball, certainly not a competition ball. And the 5-star rating is directly from my 8-year-old son. His words, "I love it!"
This match ball is an updated version of the popular Nike Ordem Professional soccer ball. Its goal is to withstand high-level play. A fuse-welded synthetic leather casing is optimal for touch and response. It also has a restricted six-wing carbon latex bladder for maximum air retention and explosiveness. The wrapped bladder also gives it a perfectly round shape, touch, and bounce. High contrast graphic design creates better visibility for this match soccer ball. Overall, this official match soccer ball boasts of 40% synthetic leather, 30% rubber, 20% polyester, and 10% cotton.
Another thing how I picked best soccer balls under $100 was recommendations by other who have already bought it. I searched on the web and also asked some of my teammates that are also a lot in to it. I than merged all opinions and made a list of top 5 soccer balls under 100$ which you can find above in the table! If you really have a low budget look at cheap soccer balls.
Looking for a decent soccer ball? The time was when you were looking for a soccer ball you just popped into your local toy store, paid a few dollars and headed off to the local park. Times have changed and, today, soccer is big business as is the market in soccer balls. With so many manufacturers making so many claims about their latest high-tech ball, just how do you find the best soccer ball available in your price range?
Furthermore, cleaning the ball is a very important task that you must do on a regular basis. It could help you avoid water absorption issues, and it will help make it last longer. Clean a soccer ball with some mild soap and lukewarm water to maintain its performance. Don't use harsh cleaning agents as this might damage the ball's construction material. Storing the ball in low temperatures is ideal to avoid warping or water retention.
This is the 4th one we've ordered! This is a tough ball that glows very brightly at night and comes with an extra battery, but we haven't had to change batteries after 2 summers of playing with it. Whenever my kids brought it out during our outdoor, night-time, community concerts, all the kids wanted to play with it and tons of parents came up to get the information on where to get it. I had originally ordered it so that my son could still see the ball at the end of his fall soccer practices, since they play on a field without lights. Now it is the favorite birthday present to give to all of my kids' friends (ages 7 and 11).
6. Mexico had the top selling jersey at the 2018 FIFA World Cup so it should come as no surprise that the adidas Mexico Soccer Ball has been a top seller in 2018 as well. El Tri is an adidas sponsored team so their ball had the team name and similar pixilated design as the Telstar 18 ball. And it was at a great price of $19.99 making it affordable for all players and great to take to the match for a kick-about before watching the national team play.
Early footballs began as animal bladders or stomachs that would easily fall apart if kicked too much. Improvements became possible in the 19th century with the introduction of rubber and discoveries of vulcanization by Charles Goodyear. The modern 32-panel ball design was developed in 1962 by Eigil Nielsen, and technological research continues today to develop footballs with improved performance. The 32-panel ball design was soon overcome by 24-panel balls as well as 42-panel balls, both of which improved performance compared to before, in 2007.[citation needed]
The ball has a solid feel and will not deflate quickly. It's fun and colorful design makes it easy to spot on the playground aside from making it look elegant with the Nike Company logo perfectly completing the design. It has great customer reviews because aside from having a great look and made from high-quality materials, it has a wallet-friendly price tag you'll want to purchase it for your little ones.
Comfort during the shot should be the number one factor to watch out when you are buying a beach soccer ball. Senda Playa offers you that comfort from its larger, and softer panels. So, you will find it very easy to shot the ball barefooted. The panels are scratch-resistant too that makes it suitable for playing on the rough sand beach. No doubt, like any other beach ball, this one also offers water-resistant cover too.

The most commonly used materials for casing are PolyUrethane(PU) and PolyVinyl Carbonate (PVC), synthetic leather or a combination of PU and PVC. You can distinguish the type of casing used by touch. Balls that uses PVC usually have a hard exterior but are cheap and durable. PU cased balls are softer to the touch, high in quality and more responsive than PVC balls. Synthetic leather balls offer increased control hence ideal for professional matches or high-level playing. You will also notice a glossy finish on all soccer balls. This comes in handy in minimizing scuffing and water damage to the balls.
As a response to the problems with the balls in the 1962 FIFA World Cup, Adidas created the Adidas Santiago[17] – this led to Adidas winning the contract to supply the match balls for all official FIFA and UEFA matches, which they have held since the 1970s, and also for the Olympic Games.[18] They also supply the ball for the UEFA Champions League which is called the Adidas Finale.
Enough learning on different aspects of soccer balls? Let's have some fun then. We are going to give you our other specific reviews on different types of soccer balls so that you can choose the right option for you applying the knowledge you have just gathered. Obviously we suggest you to buy from the ones that we reviewed above. But you can consider the following ones as well.
Actual match balls should be of awesome quality.. I was happy to get the chance to review this size 5 match ball from the 2017 Confederations Cup Collection that was used in Russia. With the majority being white and the splashes of red with grey it stands out both on the shelf and on the field when it spins (a plus or x symbol depending on how you turn it)..
By no means is this type of ball similar to a typical soccer ball. For starters, instead of air, its bladder is filled with foam. In this case, the ball has less bounce and is heavier in order to facilitate its purpose; meant to be used on a hard surface indoors. This size 4 ball may also have suede castings which help to stabilize the ball on a slippery floor.
Much like the Adidas ball we saw earlier, this offering from Adidas is top-of-the-line. This a premium match ball that also has received the highest rating from FIFA. To get that rating, it passed tests on its weight, how it retains air, the shape, and how well it keeps water out. It also has seamless panels like the Hi-Vis Champions League ball. Although not a cheap ball, this is worth a look if you are interested I premium match balls.
I've been a fan of soccer since I was 12, and choosing the right ball has always been an issue for me for many reasons ( size of the ball, its cover get torn easily, the ball don't last long). this article had shed the light on everything you should take into consideration when buying a soccer ball, it was a very informative and well explained article it made me feel engrossed while reading it, so thanks for sharing. The Knuckle-it Pro soccer ball caught my attention, the features of this ball suits my needs as I love freekicks and I don't really care about the brands. I'll keep this ball in my mind for sure, when i consider buying a new ball.

It is saddening to read that 36 men, including foreign workers, have died as a result of alcohol poisoning.
They were among those who had consumed two types of whisky purchased from multiple shops in the Klang Valley on Sept 17. All the victims had a history of consuming compounded hard liquor.
Malaysia has an active local spirits industry which produces US$43.4 million (RM180 million) worth of cheap liquor per year.
These drinks have an alcohol content of 38% and are widely available at sundry shops and at almost every Chinese medical shop. The smallest bottle of liquor costs only RM1.50.
Malaysia, though a small country, is the 10th largest consumer of alcohol in the world, according to statistics provided by the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP).
Each year, Malaysians spend over US$500 million on alcohol. While the per capita consumption is seven litres, those who do drink alcohol are heavy consumers.
Among the drinking population, the Malaysian Indians, who make up about 8% of the population, are by far the heaviest drinkers with an annual consumption of absolute alcohol exceeding 14 litres per capita.
Beer consumption in Malaysia stands at 11 litres per capita and is comparable with that in European countries, known for their high consumption of alcoholic beverages.
The easy availability of alcoholic drinks in coffee shops, supermarkets, sundry shops and plantations, together with aggressive advertising and promotions, is driving Malaysians to drink. The average age for alcohol dependence is 22 years or even younger.
In Malaysia, the biggest victims of alcohol abuse are the poor, particularly the rural Indian workers who work in rubber and oil palm plantations. Many of them drink alcoholic drinks and toddy (another form of cheap alcohol introduced by the British during the colonial era). Of the estimated 200,000 alcohol drinkers in Malaysia, 75% are liquor consumers.
The rural Indians, according to CAP, spend about US$5.5 million a year on liquor. These drinks are packaged in small bottles of between 140ml and 175ml and sold for as little as RM1.50 to RM3.
Sold at such incredibly low prices, it is obvious that these potent drinks are packaged especially to appeal to the poor. A regular drinker can down six bottles a day, which works out to RM9. In a month, he can spend about RM300 on liquor.
CAP statistics also show that 38% of those who die in road accidents were under the influence of alcohol.
About 30% of hospital admissions, comprising patients with head injuries, were also under the influence of alcohol. About 25% of employees, who are below average in terms of work performance, are heavy consumers of alcohol.
According to a survey conducted by CAP, there are over 150 brands of liquor available in the market.
Some have western names like Apollo, 007 and Father Christmas while some are named after Indian historical figures such as Sivaji and Asoka. These are very potent drinks with their alcohol content ranging between 37% and 70%.
Alcohol abuse is a problem besetting Malaysia's rural population and instead of treating this issue in isolation, it should be seen as one of the main causes of poverty.
Hence, the government should have a clear policy on alcohol and its consumption. Alcoholic beverages should be treated as a highly regulated product.
What the government can do is:
# Ban all forms of advertising, sponsorship and promotional activities by alcohol companies;
# Ban the sale of liquor in small packages, such as 145ml bottles. There should be a limit on the size of the bottles;
# Increase the taxes imposed on alcohol. There should be a separate tax rate schedule dedicated solely to alcohol, the proceeds of which can be channelled towards activities to control alcohol abuse;
# Step up law enforcement to curb the illegal sale of liquor, especially in sundry shops and homes; and,
# Develop alcohol rehabilitation programmes nationwide, particularly in rural areas. This should include hospital-based care as well as residential and non-residential care and after-care service.
Liquor consumption is a serious problem among Malaysian Indians and even among the foreign workers from Vietnam, Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Myanmar.
Since about 86% of the Indian population is now residing in urban areas, the cheap liquor menace has reared its ugly head in towns and cities too. Walk into any sundry shop or supermarket and you will see liquor being sold freely.
CAP has published its findings on alcohol consumption on its website and I have also read many articles on alcohol abuse but to date, no action has been taken by the government.

Guinness says Buc-ee's car wash in Katy is world's longest
Buc-ee's, the chain of convenience stores known for Beaver Nuggets, Texas-themed tourist trinkets and immaculate bathrooms, has something new to boast about — the car wash at its massive Katy travel center.
Guinness World Records — which documented the world's tallest living man, Sultan Kosen, a Turkish farmer who stands more than 8 feet tall, and the world's smallest dog, a 3.8-inch-tall Chihuahua called Miracle Milly — has officially proclaimed the just opened car wash at 27700 Katy Freeway as the world's longest.
It takes a full five minutes for a dirty car to enter at one end and emerge clean at the exit, 255 feet away.
A representative from the U.K.-based Guinness Worlds Records last week presented Buc-ee's co-founder Arch "Beaver" Aplin with the certificate acknowledging the nearly football-field-long car wash.
"You are officially amazing," Guinness official Paulina Sapinska told him.
Aplin, who co-founded Buc-ee's in 1982 with a single convenience store in Lake Jackson, said he never envisioned his company would literally be in the record books.
"We just set out to design the best car wash in the world," he said while surrounded by local civic leaders.
The Buc-ee's travel center in Katy was scheduled to open on Aug. 28 but was temporarily delayed because of Hurricane Harvey. In addition to the mega-sized car wash, the store also has more than 100 fueling positions.
Aplin said the car wash can clean about 1,500 vehicles a day. After being liberally doused with cleaning solution, each car will pass along 25 separate rolling brushes while being pulled along the conveyor belt. Because of its length and the number of brushes, they are able to use less water to clean the cars than at smaller operations, he said.
"You're not trying to do it in 50 feet. You have more time," Aplin said. "It's very eco-friendly."
Buc-ee's offered free washes on Thursday to commemorate their Guinness world record — and a line of cars snaked around the travel center to take the company up on its offer.
"It's absolutely fantastic," Martha Ramos said as she waited her turn in line. "I took off from my YMCA class to come here."
Steve Pena said he came to the travel center when he heard about the Guinness world record.
"It's free," he said. "You don't have to wash it yourself."
The Katy travel center is located on a 15-acre spread of land in the fast-developing west side of the city. According to a recent profile of the company in Forbes magazine, Aplin estimated the price tag for the location was about $17 million.
Katy Mayor Chuck Brawner said the city won't know how much direct financial benefit it can expect as a result of the Buc-ee's travel center for three or four months. However, he noted the store is consistently busy.
"This location is prime. Three hundred thousand vehicles are passing here every day," Brawner said.
Buc-ee's has developed something of a cult following in the years since the first store was opened. The company currently has almost 30 travel centers throughout Texas and plans to open two in Florida within the next year.
"Sometimes I just have to pinch myself," Aplin said. "We never contemplated all of this. I just built a normal-sized convenience store and tried to do a great job of operating it."

Planning permission - outbuildings and structures
Planning permission is not normally needed for outbuildings, although there are some exceptions.
In many cases outbuildings are considered to be permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission. However you will need to apply for planning permission for some cases, for example:
- outbuildings and other additions exceed 50% of the total area of land around the original house. Sheds and all other outbuildings and extensions to the original house must be included when calculating this 50% limit
- the buildings are forward of the principal elevation of the original house
- the building is more than single storey, or its eaves exceed 2.5 metres, or it exceeds 4 metres at ridge height where the building has a dual pitched roof, or exceeds 3 metres at ridge height in any other case
- the new building itself is a separate, self contained, living accommodation
- the building is more than 2.5 metres in height and it is within 2 metres of the property boundary
- containers, such as those used for domestic heating purposes, would exceed 3,500 litres
- the building is built to the side of the house, and it is on a designated land*
- the building is within the grounds of a listed building
- for sites within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the total area to be covered by any outbuildings more than 20 metres from ANY WALL of the house would exceed 10 square metres
*Designated land includes national parks and the Broads, areas of outstanding natural beauty, conservation areas and world heritage sites.

BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson's growth as a passer has been well documented through four weeks of Baltimore Ravens training camp.
On Thursday, in a 26-13 victory over the Green Bay Packers, the second-year quarterback made sure to send out a reminder he can still burn defenses with his legs, too.
Flushed from the pocket on a third-and-long play, the electric signal caller sprinted into the secondary, juked cornerback Tramon Williams and vaulted over diving defensive back Jaire Alexander at the goal line for an 18-yard touchdown late in the first quarter of the team's second preseason game at M&T Bank Stadium.
While the highlight score was wiped off the board on a blocking penalty against receiver Willie Snead, the impressive run showcased just how dynamic Jackson will once again be with the ball in his hand.
"Basically it was what the defense gave me. They gave me the opportunity to run, squeezing off the edges, gave me the middle lane and I just took advantage," Jackson said. "When I get on the field, one-on-one, I better make you miss. That's just me, that's how I've always played. If I get tackled by one person, I'm mad. I feel like I lost that play. If I'm not passing it, if I do decide to run, it better be for a touchdown or a first down.
"I'm not trying to get two yards and then get tackled. That's not how I play. That's not why I'm here."
Despite his superstar speed, Jackson has spent significantly less practice time scorching the turf with his feet. Instead, he's been attacking the Ravens' decorated secondary through the air. It marks a major change from a year ago, when he piled up the third most rushing yards by a rookie quarterback in NFL history despite just starting six regular season contests.
"I believe his stature, his ability to be QB1, has really allowed him to have the confidence that he needs to go out there and showcase his talents. He really did have a Top 10 play today. Unfortunately, it was called back," Ravens safety Tony Jefferson said. "Plays like that just show us his ability and what he can do and how special he is to this league. I'm so excited for him, just constant growth from that guy. He's got the mature mindset and personality to overcome any defaults that he has."
Although there's a risk to scrambling with the football during an exhibition game, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh doesn't want his starting quarterback to hold off rushing with the football.
"He's in the pocket, and he's staying in the pocket a lot. It's not like he's trying to run, but sometimes … What are you going to do? You can't hold him back forever," Harbaugh said. "He got out and you can see what he's capable of doing once he gets out. People are going to really work hard to keep him in the pocket. That was good.
"The block by Willie is going to be a learning experience for us," he added. "That was a little bit of a love tap, but that's something that they want called if it's done with a shoulder, forearm, elbow, anything like that. We'll have to learn from that one."
Through two preseason games, the Ravens have scored on four of the five possessions led by Jackson. In the team's 29-0 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars a week ago, the former first-round pick opted not to rush the football, instead completing 4-of-6 passes for 59 yard and a touchdown over three possessions.
On Thursday, he converted 6 of 10 passes for 58 yards and added a pair of rushes for 14 yards.
In addition to a 42-yard field goal, Tucker also capped the opening drive with a 52-yard boot as the offense held the football for more than 10 minutes in the first quarter.
"We experienced that last year when Lamar took over. He was finishing whole quarters and we would only get to be out there once or twice. It definitely helps us, it keeps us fresh," Ravens linebacker Matthew Judon said. "We've got a lot of time to go over and correct some stuff that we messed up and missed on the last snap. It helps. We're fresh all the time, and we're still rotating, so it definitely helps. Kudos to the offense for holding the ball."

If you thought that the only function of the hips was to connect our upper body with the lower, then, you're wrong. Hips do much more than that. In scientific terms, the hip is a joint which connects the torso to the legs in the body of a human being. Hips are an integral part of our body. They shoulder the weight of our entire body, both while we are still, and while we are in motion. Apart from that, our balance is highly dependent on our hips. In fact, most of the muscles that we use for mobility such as walking and running are also located in the same area. Hip problems can affect anybody. It doesn't depend on age, growth or any other factor. There are some forms of hip problems that affect a person with age and there are also other hip problems which can affect a person of any age for that matter. Diagnosing hip problems usually depends on primarily two symptoms: pain and some level of immobility. There are a lot of questions which need to be answered and also quite a few tests which need to be checked by the doctor so that the exact cause of the pain can be known and then adequate treatment can be given to the patient.
Physical Exam: One of the first steps in the procedure of diagnosis of hip problems is the physical exam, where a patient is asked to answer a set of questions which a doctor asks.
Some Of Those Questions Are:
- What are the symptoms which are being experienced by the patient?
- Are the symptoms worse post any activity or work?
- Since when has the patient been experiencing these symptoms of hip problems?
- Was there any illness or did the patient meet with an accident post which the symptoms started showing up?
- Are there any family members who have a history of Arthritis?
- Are there any other medical ailments which the patient has which could be causing these problems?
These are some of the questions which the patient needs to answer so that the doctor can understand the depth of the symptoms and possibly get a rough idea of what may be causing the pain to occur. During the physical exam, the doctor needs to touch the hip area of the patient and check where the pain is the most and where it is the least as well. The doctor will be mainly looking for areas in the hip region which are tender, swollen or which give an indication where the joint may be damaged. The patient also will need to stand and move the hip joint which will determine the range of motion of the hip and how well can the patient move it. The next step of the diagnosis will be lab tests and imaging tests depending on what the doctor finds out as a diagnosis during the physical exam.
Lab Tests For Hip Problems: The lab tests, which form the next step in the diagnosis of hip problems, are highly important as there are many diseases or conditions which can be ruled out or confirmed as a diagnosis of the hip problem faced by the patient. In the lab test, the doctor will extract some of the blood, if the tests reveal high levels of a rheumatoid factor then there is a chance that the hip pain is due to rheumatoid arthritis. Other tests of fluid which are drawn from the joint with a needle may show some crystals of uric acid which confirms a diagnosis of gout or bacteria which is causing an infection in the joint and the pain and joint inflammation is a result of that particular infection.
Imaging Tests For Hip Pain: The next test which forms the last step of diagnosis is the Imaging Tests which are conducted for the patient. The imaging tests allow the doctor to see inside the hip joint and without any kind of pain. There are various machines which take high-resolution images of the joint is usually a black and white format.
Some Of The Imaging Tests Are:X-Ray(Radiography)
An X-ray image is basically a simple test where an X-ray beam is passed through the hip of the patient to create a two-dimensional black and white picture of the bones which constitute the joint.
Computerised Axial Tomography
CAT scan is again a non-invasive test but more advanced than the X-ray. It gives multiple images of the hip to form a three-dimensional image of the hip joint.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
This method uses a high powered magnetic to produce and create a black and white image of the hip joint. The MRI image shows the cartilage and soft tissues so it becomes easier for the doctor to check for any injuries in the tissues of the hip. In the end, a patient needs to consult with a reputed orthopaedic surgeon and also select a hospital or a clinic so that all these imaging tests are possible so as to allow the doctor to understand and diagnose the cause of the pain down to the core.
About The Hospital: A full-fledged, 100-bedded hospital, Sankhya Hospital offers multispeciality treatment and facilities at par with the best available globally. From 24-hour ambulance service, pharmacy and diagnostic centre, to specialised services that extend from Dermatology to Orthopaedics, General Medicine to General Surgery, Gynaecology to Urology, ENT, Plastic Surgery, Laparoscopic Surgery, Neurology, Ophthalmology and more.

Dividella is working with Medipak Systems sister companies to find new answers to the question of what does modularity offer in the digitisation of industrial production. digitisation, including the use of big data and interconnectivity has considerable potency in generating sustainable competitive advantages for the pharma industry, particularly in embracing Industry 4.0 design philosophies.
However, to take maximum advantage of 'smart' technologies means embracing a modular approach at every level from design concepts to engineering, construction and processes. This is essential to fully exploit the connectivity and data-sharing that are inherent parts of the Industry 4.0 concept and its Pharma 4.0 derivative.
Modularity in the digitisation of industrial production
Essentially, modularity offers advantages in the move to digitised pharma production by promoting greater interconnectivity, interoperability, data-sharing and information transparency, allowing much higher levels of technical support and decentralised decision-making.
Dividella is part of a wider modular Medipak Systems group ecosystem of related skills and competences in which Dividella combines process and machinery expertise with Rondo, Werum IT Solutions, Fargo Automation, Mediseal and Seidenader, using latest information and communications technologies. This concerted move towards a digitised Industry 4.0 future provides a wider range of innovative solutions on materials and packaging together with easier upgrade and expansion paths.
Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 is the fourth revolution in production, following on from mechanisation, mass production and computerised automation. It describes the adoption of data exchange and artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing technologies leveraging 'cloud' stored data, cognitive and cyber-physical computing and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Industry 4.0 creates smart factories that are structured on modular lines, employing cyber-physical systems to monitor physical processes, creating virtual models of physical processes and decentralizing decision-making. Cyber-physical systems can intercommunicate in real time over IoT, allowing participants to offer and share internal and cross-organisational services across the whole value chain.
To harness Industry 4.0 advantages, solutions must obey four basic principles:
- Interoperability: As devices, sensors, platforms and people become increasingly able to interconnect and share data via the Internet and IoT, it becomes possible to add further levels of automation. Interoperability depends on modularity.
- Information transparency: The ability of information systems to create virtual models by combining digital plant systems with real time sensor data to create higher-value content. This requires interconnectivity, a further benefit of modular design.
- Technical assistance: Both in ability to aggregate and visualise information to solve urgent problems and also create cyber physical systems that can take on problematic tasks.
- Decentralised decisions: Cyber physical systems that are able to make decisions and perform tasks autonomously, only delegating to humans in exceptional circumstance.
Pharma 4.0
'Pharma 4.0' applies Industry 4.0 concepts to revolutionise and transform the pharma industry, from outflowing goods to feedback of real-time patient data. It is part of an overall trend to more individualised therapies that creates evergreater need for quality data and diverse formats. With this comes more pressure to make smarter use of data to avoid production bottlenecks in a Just in Time (JIT) world.
The trend towards personalised therapies requires a shift from in flexible mass production to manufacturing individually tailored products. This transformation depends on changing the perception of data and content in three main areas:
- Moving away from paper: Many so-called 'state-of-the-art' execution systems still rely of paper-based processing for GxP record keeping. Pharma 4.0 means handling GxP- compliant documentation as data in new electronic formats.
- Merging data: GxP relevant records will increasingly be defined by application, making the differentiation between GxP or non-GxP less relevant and requiring greater security for non- GxP areas.
- Global collaboration: The goal is to free content and data from company silos to allow them to be securely shared among virtual teams that can be quickly changed and reconfigured.
Dividella modular and digitised solutions
Dividella presented several Pharma 4.0 solutions at Interpack 2017 in Dusseldorf.
Smart device: A Dividella NeoTOP x TopLoad syringe packaging machine was controlled and monitored remotely via a Smart Device. With the aid of the device, multiple production units can be scheduled, coordinated and controlled in parallel. The solution, based on HTLM 5, is compatible with all systems and mobile terminals.
Condition monitoring and predictive analytics: Dividella also presented a prototype solution for remote monitoring status of the NeoTOP x, using data captured in real time and applying algorithms to generate forecasts in which critical changes are predicted/ detected and corrective interventions scheduled before failures occur.
Smart packaging: Product personalisation and product security can be taken to new levels using smart communication of the pack with the patient and communication with the machines in the production process. In addition to the actual product, consumers can request additional services via the package, which also communicates with the packaging machine to control settings for individual, personalised products. These solutions use NFC chip technology developed by Rondo.
Plug and produce: Vertical integration (creation of a standardized interface between production machines and control system) is fundamental in implementing Pharma 4.0 solutions. Plug & Produce, developed by Werum, is like connecting USB devices, making it possible to 'plug and play' systems or packaging machines within the overall networked system.
Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI): EMI can improve product quality (process stability) and productivity (process efficiency) by supervising production almost in real time. Processes can be continuously verified applying production data to support decision-making. The customer can make better-informed decisions on process stability and process efficiency, to enhance both quality and productivity.

It seems to me that computer software is becoming more secure every year - there are fewer zero-day exploits to be found, many hacker-proof concepts are becoming widespread (such as virtualization and strong encryption), system administrators and users are starting to become aware of the importance of security, etc.
Is it reasonable to assume that the field of information security will start to shrink in a few years? Or is it just an illusion and things are getting worse?

Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid in game of guts
When Atletico Madrid's bus left the Santiago Bernabeu late Wednesday night, pulling out onto Calle Rafael Salgado, Diego Simeone was not on board. He departed without the players whom he had said he was proud of. For the first time since he became their manager in 2011, they will finish the season empty-handed. Knocked out of the trophy they wanted most, denied to them in the very last minute of the very last game last season, and the one that represented their only chance of success this season.
"We're very sad because of the way it happened, with just two minutes to go again," said Joao Miranda.
Simeone, though, said he was happy. "When I was a boy," he explained, "I was taught that you have to compete. When you give everything and lose, you go home happy. We competed, despite the difficulties we faced. When a team works the way that we worked today, you can't have any negative feelings afterwards. Many coaches would envy having players like these who run for 90 minutes."
Simeone once congratulated his players' mothers for giving birth to men with "enormous balls." He was right, and their achievements have been barely believable, while the difficulties they have overcome have been huge. Managers would indeed be proud to have players who work like his do, and proud of having instilled that culture into them. But as Pep Guardiola noted in the buildup to Bayern Munich's second leg with Porto this week, "you do not win football matches with your noble parts alone."
Simeone knows that; he always did. Listening to him this season, his discourse has evolved. Sacrifice, work and commitment remain central, non-negotiable, but his responses have become far more analytical, more tactical. It was probably not that he had started thinking in those terms, but he has certainly begun expressing himself that way. Atletico's approach has evolved, too, when confronted with different types of opponents and problems to solve.
Here, though, Atletico regressed. Simeone described Arda Turan's red card as "decisive." Perhaps. But discipline has been debilitating for Atletico this season, the side who have collected more yellow cards than any other. And few could claim that Real's passage to the semifinal was not deserved. Over the two legs, they took 39 shots. Last night, Atletico had two on target, the same number they had in the first leg. If they looked reasonably comfortable containing Real, they did little to create. Koke's header apart, it is hard to recall a chance at the Bernabeu.
"Real played like what they are: the best team in the world," Simeone said of the first leg. In the second, Atletico did not really play as they are. Yes, they are a side that stands out for their defensive solidity anyway, but not quite like this. Over the last four Champions League games, Atletico have scored just once: in the second leg against Bayer Leverkusen. Yet this time, they were further from scoring than ever before. "What was lacking?" the coach was asked. "Much more connection in attack," he said.
Real had planned for that; Sergio Ramos' right-sided position in midfield, with Pepe and Raphael Varane behind, was planned to stop Atletico, and that, in itself, is a compliment. It is also true that you do not always play how you want to play but how your opponent allows you to, a fundamental fact so often overlooked. But the lack of creation, the apparent lack of any real desire to create, was still striking, particularly after seven derbies without a defeat, particularly with Real lacking four key players. With time, Atletico may look back on this as an opportunity lost. Perhaps this time they actually lacked guts.
It is not as if Atletico do not have creative players. Up front were Mario Mandzukic and Antoine Griezmann, strikers who cost a combined 50 million euros in the summer, but Atletico were unable to activate them. Turan rarely influenced. Guilherme Siqueira was left out for Jesus Gamez, a right-footer on the left: more solidity, but less width to attack and less will to attack, too. Juanfran was unable to push Fabio Coentrao back -- a man who had not played in five weeks.
The midfield had a technical look to it with Saul Niguez, Arda, Koke and Tiago. But it was Real who took control in the opening 15 minutes and when they did, Atletico filled the middle, pulling Griezmann back into a left-sided position. That change was reinforced at half-time with the introduction of Gabi. There was more control now, but still little creativity. Less, in fact, and one less substitution to call upon. If they had expected Real to get desperate and make mistakes, it never happened: Carlo Ancelotti preached patience.
Had Atletico won (and they did claim more territory, forcing the occasional corner), the analysis would be different, of course. But the doubt remains: were Atletico too focused on not losing? Did their conservative approach catch up with them? The away goal would have been so valuable but they appeared to hope it might find them rather than going and finding it themselves. So penalties often looked like their only option, and a distant one.
One substitution down, the next two debilitated their attacking intent further. Griezmann departed for Raul Garcia, and in the 85th minute -- Turan by now having been sent off, the team exhausted -- Tiago could not continue. Mandzukic was struggling too, but he stayed on. A central defender, Jose Maria Gimenez, replaced Tiago. Fernando Torres and Raul Jimenez remained on the bench, unused. It did not do them much good defensively either: three minutes later, Chicharito scored.
"They day they coached that, I can't have been there," Isco smiled after the game. Ramos and Ancelotti had kept it a secret since Sunday: not only had the media not found out that Ramos was going to leave the back four and play in the middle three, their teammates had not either. Ancelotti once admitted that playing Ramos in midfield at the Camp Nou was "a mistake," but here he did it again.
Only, he didn't. Not quite. The surprise was not just that Ramos played in midfield but that he played to the right side of the three, as an interior, not as a central, deep-lying midfielder. Ramos played in the position normally occupied by Luka Modric or Isco; what he did not do was play as Modric or Isco would do. Nor was he being asked to.
"Lots of people killed me [back then]," Ancelotti said, smiling. "And I thought that if they killed me again I'd come through it alive." He explained his thinking: "I put Ramos there to have more solidity from set players and throw-ins. And because he has quality and really works, sacrificing himself." He didn't add that Ramos played in the midfield because Sami Khedira, Asier Illarramendi and Lucas Silva can't be trusted, but that idea was certainly among his thoughts.

- Laurens: PSG progressing despite UCL exit
- Player Ratings: Bayern's attack mostly '9s'
The plan was a defensive one that worked as the coach hoped, tailored to the specific threat Atletico carried. Dead balls and throw-ins, Ancelotti said. Ramos did not always look comfortable with the ball, his normal reference points denied him, players on all sides of him rather than in front of him. He was seemingly unsure, at least to start with, as to where exactly he had to be. But defensively, he fitted perfectly. It was not always pretty, but it was effective.
The formation enabled Real to have Varane, Pepe and Ramos all on the pitch, denying Atletico any advantage in the air or the chance to break and run beyond them: you don't outsprint Varane. It also allowed Ramos to drop into a deep, narrow right-sided position where Mandzukic awaited the long ball and others waited for him to head it on or bring it down. Mostly, they waited in vain. Ramos won the ball back 12 times. And with him guarding that territory, Dani Carvajal was freed to watch for the overlap (which largely didn't happen) or to attack himself (which did happen, albeit not often).
"If I have an idea but the player is not convinced, then ..." Ancelotti said. Ramos, a defender with an attacker's soul, whose favourite player as a kid was Claudio Caniggia, who was disappointed to return from South Africa a world champion but not a goal scorer, and who dinked in a Panenka penalty in the semifinal of the European championships, was convinced all right. "I like coaches who are good people and have balls too," he said.
