Last fall we hosted two Physical Therapy students who came to Park City and spent from 2-10 weeks at our clinic. Physical Therapy programs require several clinical affiliations and over the years we have had several students from all across the country.
This fall, Carolyn Baxter who is attending North Eastern University in Boston and studying for her Doctorate in Physical Therapy landed in Park City late September and was at our facility until the end of October. She has been able to see and treat all types of orthopedic injuries along with getting some time to spend outdoors hiking the trails of Park City and seeing what it is like to live in an international ski community. We also had a student from St Ambrose University in Iowa. Andrew was only here for 2 weeks and observed our therapists and participated in the daily patient treatment. He was amazed at all the athlete's we treated and was able to spend time in our Salt Lake Clinic as well as experiencing what Park City has to offer. A Midwest young man who wanted to see the West.
We have several affiliations with universities all across the country including several students from the University of Utah Doctorate Program for Physical Therapy. We even hired a few. Our goal at Alpine Sports Medicine is not only to treat patients but stay involved within our community along with help contribute to the education of our future physical therapists.

My dad rubber cemented our family pictures into albums. It is a painful confession but true. From the old sepia prints of family from the turn of the century to my childhood, it was all glued with that yucky, damaging adhesive into albums. As soon as I learned anything about photos, I took over the albums and transferred them all safely using good adhesive :). The good part about our family albums...is that we had them to look at growing up. I remember paging through my baby album and family vacations. And now as an adult, I have found that in large part, the photos memories have become my strongest ones due to looking at pictures together and having conversations about them.
Fast forward to the digital age where most of us, some more than others, have thousands and thousands of pictures on our hard drives. I have heard many confessions from people that their photos stay there and they are not sure of what to do about it. I think that's a bit sad. I think it's important to have photos in books so they can be seen and enjoyed. I tread lightly here because I know that most of us, especially moms it seems, have so much on our plates and I don't want to to add a big heavy burden of another project that should be done. However, I wanted to share some of what works for me in hopes that it might spark an idea or two for you.
I believe in making it simple. I know there are scrapbookers out there, and there are people for whom the general concept makes them nauseous. I get that. That's why it's important to find something that works for you. Whether it's the cute little flip albums from Target when all you do is insert the photos or doing a more involved scrapbook or creating a photo book online, the time and effort involved varies.
Before I explain some of what I do, let me clearly explain that I DO NOT use every picture that I take. That is completely overwhelming. I give myself permission to use only the best or my very favorites.
For our family, I make scrapbooks, very, very simple scrapbooks so I can keep up with it without the project becoming way too big. Here are our family albums on my desk in our office. Everyone has their own color. Brown is the color that I use for Ben and I. These are 12x12 three ring binders. There are lots and lots of options out there.
Then I create pages. Some I make just one of it for myself if it is of something that doesn't involve the kids. If it is a day that involves everyone I make very similar copies for everyone. For instance, this lemon picking page I did for Ruby but I also made a copy for my album and the ones I made for the boys are similar but have a few close ups of them.
If the kids make art or cards or notes, I add it in here too. See, pretty easy stuff.
What I am finding as I go along, is that I really love reading some of the notes that I write to the kids or of the funny things that they say. It is so fun to reminisce and I am finding that it is a good way to remember things that I thought I wouldn't forget...but I have.
Another option for kids it to just do a birthday book, a page a year. I record my kids' "favorites", a picture of them, and now a picture that they draw of themselves year by year.
Ruby really loved to see the differences in her drawing this year.
If any kind of gluing and pasting make you nervous, photo books are an incredible option. I just went online and created this one of the day my niece was born. After my photos were uploaded, I think it took me about 40 minutes to create the whole thing, top to bottom. I have had clients create books for gifts for grandparents or themselves out of our sessions too....and I love that.
This book is a 12 by 12 size too and nice and thin. I love how easy they are to create and all the options that are available. I kept this one very simple and classic.
You can decide how many pictures you want on a page and how you want to group them or how much you want to say.
We had this book out at Quinn's open house and it was fun to see people pick it up and page through it. How fun it will be for Kelly and Dano to read it and look at it with Quinn one day.
For in whatever format you use to show your pictures on your walls, in a flip album, scrapbook or photo book like this, you will be communicating value. You also will be establishing a place for conversations.
If you feel overwhelmed, don't be. When you have time, even just a bit, just start on a small project. Printing out pictures of a vacation and sliding them into an album with a few comments. Condensing a first year to a hundred favorites and then working on a photo book. Making a mini album of you and your sweetie. Keep it simple. Keep it meaningful but by all means do not keep it all on your computer :).
If any of you have any additional ideas of what helps you to display and show your photos, I would LOVE to hear about them in the comments section here.

It seems current release of Mission Planner (perhaps some earlier too) has a bug in the compass calibration routines - offsets almost always are calculated as 0 0 0.
Compass works fine in the terminal (shows correct heading etc) but after calibration the compass tries to get back to North.
Yet I calibrated compass in the APM Planner 2 without any problems, calculated offsets are resonable and the compass behaviour is normal after calibration.
Anyone else with similar problem?
Views: 1094
can you post a tlog?
The one thing I notice recently is a lot more compass "bad health". Not sure why. I asked my compass and he said he is feeling fine. :-)
At the moment I'm not quite sure which log is which, but it's pretty possible that tlogs 25 and 26 are after the calibration in the MP 1.2.9 and tlogs 41 and 42 are after the calibration in the APM Planner 2. I've tried to record new logs, but perhaps the board only logs anything when it's armed? And currently it's out of the frame.
Instead I also recorded two movies - one after the compass has been 'messed up' during the calibration in the current version of the Mission Planner (offsets again 'defaulted' to zeros after the compass calibration) and then I connected the board to the APM Planner 2 and performer another calibration.
Freshly after the compass calibration in the Mission Planner 126.96.36.199:
Compass calibration in the APM Planner 2 and after the calibration...
Let me know what do you think - I can perform more tests etc tomorrow (it's 4 am here and I have to take some sleep ;) )
PS: I have recently replaced the 3.3v regulator (same low noise Texas Instruments regulator as the original) and the schottky protection diode in this board, but I don't think it's the cause for this issue as the tests performed in the terminal are looking fine and the calibration procedure works fine in the APM Planner as well (offsets are pretty high, but I'm performing this calibration inside, and some big metal objects are in the 1 m radius from the board).
PPS: Of course the calibration procedure has been perfomed just like it's described here: http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/initial-setup/configuring-hardware... or here: http://ardupilot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6726&p=13164
the tlogs are recorded in MP while you are doing the calibration.
You have given me logs. there should be tlogs that should have a date on them that im after. This way I can replicate 100% whats happening.
Yes, my bad.
I performed the calibration in the mission planner again. Again 0 0 0 offsets and strange 'rubbery' compass behaviour after the calibration. tlog attached.
PS: And again - everything back to normal after the calibration in the APM Planner 2 (but APM Planner 2 doesn't collect any logs, right?).
please try the latest beta mp. it should be fixed again.
Yes, it's fixed now. Thank you, you are the best.
BTW - Polish MP translation is very poor (and full of mistakes), I can give you a hand with that.

Promotions to Manager for two Boston Halers who started as trainees
I am delighted to announce the well-deserved promotion of Alexandra Williams and Catherine Hegarty, both to the position of Manager.
Alex joined Boston Hale in 2013 when the business was just two months old, having never worked in recruitment before. Showing an incredible amount of tenacity and resilience, Alex's hard work over the past four years has resulted in a long line of promotions and achievements.
Externally, she is regarded as one of the most knowledgable recruiters operating in her market, with a reputation for dispensing sage advice, caring about her customers and delivering quality of service.
With around 3 ½ years at Boston Hale, having joined after university, Catherine's rapid career progression is a result of her hard work and determination during her time here.
Managing a team of 4 recruiters, Catherine's professional, personable, customer-focussed approach has helped her build solid relationships with customers over several years.
She has grown her business steadily with an unwavering focus on process and quality of delivery together with a caring, advisory approach; a genuine desire to help people.
Both Alex and Catherine bring a lot of personality, enthusiasm and professionalism to the Boston Hale team. They act as mentors and advisors to newer team members, and are testament to what can be achieved.
Congratulations, and thank you for your professionalism, hard work, commitment and support.
Graham Hale, Managing Director

Spurs plan Wednesday media session for Gay
With training camp just around the corner, the Spurs will introduce forward Rudy Gay to the media on Wednesday.
The Spurs signed Gay, 31, to a two-year contract worth a reported $17.2 million in July. The deal required the team's mid-level exception and included a player option for the 2018-19 season.
Gay, no doubt, will field a few questions about his health. He suffered a season-ending torn Achilles on Jan. 18. He declined a $14 million option to remain with the Sacramento Kings after more than three seasons with the club.
RELATED: Patience pays off for newest member of Spurs
The 11-year vet owns career averages of 18.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
The Spurs will begin practicing later this month.

The Golf Classic is Just Six Months Away
The annual CCF Golf Classic is only six months away … and will be here sooner than you think.
Now in its 7th year, the CCF Golf Classic will take place on Monday, Oct. 9, at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast, CA. Last year, more than 250 golfers attended to help raise more than $2.2 million for wounded Veterans. True to the CCF mission, the Golf Classic raises funds to support Carrington House, our signature program providing specialized housing for wounded Veterans, and the Veterans Airlift Command, which offers transportation to wounded Veterans who need support.
And although the event includes a fun day of golf, it's so much more than that. Once everyone filters off the greens and the sun goes down, an evening banquet and auction celebrates Veterans who have given so much to help protect our country's freedom. Honored Veteran guests share their courageous stories, reminding us of what it costs to keep the peace and freedom we enjoy. Thanks to the CCF Golf Classic donations, Carrington House has now completed 17 custom, adaptive homes for Veterans in need of specialized living quarters, and three more are on the way. CCF has also expanded its mission through its new Veterans Support Program, giving Vets the help they need to get healthy, find work and even start their own businesses. Funds have also greatly supported the Veterans Airlift Command, which helps Veterans and their families prepare for the next phase of their lives by flying them to medical facilities across the country so they might heal from combat injuries.
We're proud that the CCF Golf Classic is growing, and has attracted so many supporters. It was recognized by the Orange County Business Journal multiple times, as the Top Netting Golf Event in Orange County for 2015 and 2016 in their annual Charity Guide. And while we're pleased it is gaining press recognition, that's not why we do it. The Golf Classic has always been about supporting our nation's brave Veterans, and giving them everything they need to live a full, happy and healthy life once they return home.
But until October, we have a lot of fundraising to do – and we need your help. Whether you've participated in the Golf Classic before or you're new to the event, there are many ways you can help make this year's event the biggest yet. We'll be working on gathering auction items, calling on Associates to create themed baskets – such as a fitness-themed basket, movie night-themed basket, sports- or tailgate-themed basket, kid-themed baskets or holiday-themed basket. Leading up to the event, we'll need help with stuffing swag bags, organizing the silent auction, help with marketing initiatives and even outreach to sponsors and donors. And, of course, we'll need volunteers to help out at Pelican Hill the day of the event.
If you'd like to help us make the 7th annual CCF Golf Classic an unqualified success, we'd love to hear from you. E-mail us at email@example.com. Our nation's Veterans need you!

Silvaplana/Corvatsch World Cup FINALS!
Just finished the finals here in Switzerland for the last stop of the World Cup tour! The weather came out for us and it was a perfect bluebird day! I was feeling really good in practice in the morning of the finals, everything was going great and I was stoked!
Unfortunately on my first run I took a bit of a slam and hit my tailbone pretty good. I was okay but it usually gets the nerves going a bit more after you take a hard fall in competition. I was able to pull myself together by my second run and managed to put it down.
I didn't quite put my run down the way I wanted, I had a few mistakes here and there which resulted in 12th place finish. I am pretty stoked for my Canadian friend Teal Harle who came out in finals swinging and managed to take his first ever world cup win! I am still really stoked with how I'm skiing and I am very excited to be now heading off to the X-Games to compete in big air!!
Stay tuned for content coming from there!
You can watch the qualifiers here I drop around 3 hours 18 minutes!

Kathleen + Derek + Cole
There was a point in my business where I wasn't booking sessions with the perfect clients for me. I was leaving sessions a little uninspired and not connecting strongly to the families that were calling me so I knew I had to do a gut-check to look at how everything was structured, and stop listening to what the photography industry was telling me I should do and instead focus inward to see what felt right. I pulled it apart and put it back together again in a way that I felt stronger about and shortly after I did Kathleen called me to book newborn sessions for her and Derek's brand new little baby, Cole.
It's obvious that restructuring my business was the right decision because Kathleen + Derek + Cole are the exact people that I want to be creating lasting images for, and I get so excited every time they book another session. These guys are the sweetest, most loving, people and I'm grateful to be able to document their growth as a family. Cole is growing into such an incredible, hilarious, curious little man and I already can't wait for next time.

App Overview
Loft is a social network for physical spaces. Any content in a loft can only be viewed if you're physically within its boundaries.
Create a loft by drawing a shape around your current location. Name it, add a photo, and optionally password-protect it. It now exists like WiFi -- you have be there to access it.
Lofts are great for shared spaces -- create a home loft to leave messages for your roommates; a cafe loft for sharing what the wifi password is or for meeting people IRL ("anyone here a designer? would love some advice real quick, i'm in the corner!"); a work loft for keeping sensitive documents safe at HQ; a wedding loft to have a central space for the lovers' story, a place for well wishes, photos from the night, etc; a classroom loft to allow the teacher to distribute documents quickly and efficiently.
Lofts allow for asynchronous communication, meaning you're never spammed with messages that don't pertain to your current situation. Loft sits between real-life bulletin boards and digital groups.

RIP: Michael Weiner
Weiner, the MLB players' union executive director, took over in December of 2009 following the departure of Donald Fehr. A fierce labor attorney, Weiner displayed the ability to advocate for the players while swiftly earning the respect of the owners, Commissioner Bud Selig and all involved in the business of baseball.
Many of us were lucky enough to have met Michael, serving on a panel at a law school conference or shaking his hand at the annual Sports Law Association's conference. For those of you who didn't have the benefit of meeting or hearing Michael speak, spend some time researching what he accomplished over his all too short tenure with the union. And when first pitch comes around this spring, please don't forget to tip your cap....

I am late on this because I was so thankful to be home yesterday. The drive back was better than the drive there. Last night I made some dinner, mindlessly surfed the web, cut some fabric, web-cammed with the Parentals, and read the bedtime story. It was so nice to be back in my own bed and having my pillow.

IPL 2017 – KKR ( Kolkata Knight Riders ) now moving with New Zealand allrounder Colin de Grandhomme as a replacement for Andre Russell, who is currently serving out a one-year ban for a doping-code violation.
De Grandhomme, a medium-pace bowler and a lower-order batsman, made his debut for New Zealand in February 2012.
Despite the reinforcement, Knight Riders would feel Russell's absence. He was an important part of their title-winning run in 2014 and was Man of the Tournament in 2015.
"We are not on the back foot," the allrounder Yusuf Pathan said. "Russell was an important cog in our wheel not only on-field, but in the dressing room also. He is a great character to have. There are situations when players miss out. He will be missed in the dressing room. But we have to look ahead and work with what we have."
Captain Gautam Gambhir, however, chose to look at things differently. "Either we can see Russell's absence as a challenge or look at it as an opportunity in bold letters," he told PTI. "I as an individual, and KKR as a group, are looking it as an opportunity."

There's a strong demand for talented programmers right now and, since it's the Year of Code, we show you how you can become an expert
Coding – or programming - is everywhere and in everything around us. All computers run code: it's what makes them burst into life when the power is turned on and what makes things happen when an icon or menu is clicked.
Code isn't just for PCs: smartphones wouldn't be nearly as smart without code for the operating system and apps. Tablets require similar code, as do TV boxes from Sky, Virgin media and others. Websites are powered by code (see How to build a website), even cars rely on code these days; enthusiasts use this fact to boost an engine's power by reprogramming it – there's no need to even reach for the toolbox. (See also: Responsive vs Adaptive - why a responsive website is best for your business.)
You can even control the heating in your home using a phone app and the phone (see Tado thermostat review), app and heating are all powered by code. Someone has to write it, couldn't it be you?
With so many smart devices, gadgets and internet services all requiring code in order to function, there's a demand for people that can code and a shortage of people that are really good at it. This is the reason why the Government announced that this is the Year of Code and it has provided £500,000 to train teachers to show children how to become programmers.
From September 2014 all children from the age of five will be taught to program. Education Secretary Michael Gove said "The new computing curriculum will give our children the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century."
The scheme was set up with the best of intentions, but it quickly ran into problems and one of the scheme's advisors, Emma Mulqueeny, quit after just one week. Its launch was a PR disaster and there were many critical stories in the news (BBC and Guardian to mention just two). Jeremy Paxman quizzed Year of Code director Lottie Dexter on Newsnight and she admitted that she and some of the other advisors couldn't code:
The government has the right idea, though, and everyone should try coding. Not everyone will like it or need it, but a few will take to it like a duck to water and will become the expert coders that are needed. Do you have what it takes to become a coder? Why not try and see.
The Fizz-Buzz test
Coding is skill that takes a lot of hard work to master. If you think you can code already, try the Fizz-Buzz test: Write a program that prints the numbers 1 to 100, except for multiples of three print "Fizz" and for multiples of five print "Buzz". If you're good, you'll have a finished and working program in under five minutes. Start Notepad and create a web page that prints Fizz-Buzz using JavaScript. The answer is at the end of the article on the next page - no cheating!
Introducing programming to children at school is essential if we are to fill the demand for skilled programmers in the future and the earlier you start programming, the better you will be. Five-year-olds won't be looking for jobs for another 15 years though, so who's going to do the coding in the meantime? Could it be you?
Learn to code: Which programming language?
There are many computer programming languages and although some are similar, many are quite different. Some languages are only used in certain niches and these are fairly easy to spot and to avoid. You don't see many programmers using Lisp, Forth, Prolog, Smalltalk or Fortran these days. Learning them is pointless unless you are looking for a job in a niche that still uses them.
Programming languages can become popular for a while and then disappear. Pascal was once popular, but isn't used much these days. The only people using BBC Basic, Sinclair Basic, Z80 and 6502 machine code are people writing retro games for Sinclair Spectrum and BBC emulators.
You should learn the most popular programming languages, but you must be aware that what is popular this year might not be next year. Programmers frequently have to learn to program all over again when some new language takes off. Earlier this year Facebook announced it had created its own programming language called Hack because other languages could not cope with its billion members. If you want to work as a developer for Facebook you need therefore need to learn Hack.
Learn to code: Programming for fun
You don't need to be a computer science graduate to become a programmer and not everyone wants to do it as a full time career. Learning to program can be fun and for some people it can simply be a hobby. It can also be useful too and you might find yourself needing to tweak a web page or add some functionality to a site, such as adding PayPal buttons so people can buy goods. A little knowledge of how to code for the web can make it a lot easier to build a website. You don't need to know how to build complete Windows applications and simply recognising a few key commands and functions can provide sufficient knowledge to tweak someone else's code, such as a WordPress template. Although a site can be built by pointing and clicking, knowing how and where to paste in the code for a PayPal button in the HTML or PHP of a web page is really useful.
Occasionally apps for mobile phones are created by a single programmer working on their own on their home computer. Flappy Bird, the most downloaded app for the iPhone in January, was created by Nguyen Ha Dong in just a few days. It was rumoured to be earning $50,000 a day in advertising revenue but even a quarter of this would be very nice.
See how easy it is to create a playable Flappy Bird clone at code.org

The 2016 Techgistics Year in Review/
2016 was an incredible year for tech in logistics as companies both large and small are working on some transformative technologies not just for logistics, but for society as a whole. Here's a few interesting tech advancements in 2016 that were important for the year, but could also point to what's to come in the near and long-term future.
Self driving Vehicles are no Longer Just Science Fiction
In 2016 there seemed to be a new story every week about self-driving cars. Ford announced plans for self-driving cars, Uber launched trials in Pittsburgh and San Francisco, acquired self-driving truck startup OTTO, Google spun off their self-driving car group into Waymo, and Elon Musk wrote his Master Plan Part Deux on self-driving cars. In addition, a self-driving OTTO truck completed the first autonomous commercial delivery in the U.S foreshadowing the potential of self-driving trucks in logistics. 2016 made it crystal clear that fully autonomous self-driving cars and trucks are no longer the realm of sci-fi fantasy. The software and hardware is available now. Long-haul trucks is one of the most compelling areas for the application of self-driving technology and will likely be adopted far faster than passenger self-driving cars. The big question will be what is the future for truck drivers, of which there are 3.4 million in America.
Drones for Good
Like self-driving vehicles, there was plenty of press surrounding drones in 2016. 7-Eleven and Google teamed up for drone deliveries from a 7-Eleven store in Nevada, Amazon delivered an order via drone in the UK, Domino's delivered a pizza by drone in New Zealand, and JD.com delivered orders in rural China via drone. Mercedes and Matternet, a drone startup, collaborated on a concept delivery van where drones can be launched from the van to make deliveries autonomously. The drones can track the van as it moves along the delivery route and the van acts as a launch and landing pad for the drones. Tons of potential here and it's not a stretch to imagine a "swarm" of drones launching from a single truck which would effectively solve the last mile delivery problem. Imagine the efficiency gain in a scenario where 20 drones are launched from one truck.
While most of the drone-based advancements are trials (and possibly gimmicks), the real focus for drones should be for urgent, lightweight shipments in heavily congested mega-cities or in areas that have either poor infrastructure, such as rural Africa, or have geographic constraints, such as mountain communities that prevent efficient cargo delivery. Zipline and Matternet are two drone startups focusing on urgent and life-saving shipments.
Moving for forward, companies that have an interest in drones for the commercial sector need to take the lead in shifting the public perception of drones away from hackable, privacy-invasive, killing machines to something a bit more altruistic like making people's lives better by supplying critical supplies and life-saving drugs. Put less focus on pizza deliveries and more focus on life-saving applications and the public's perception can be swayed, which will help pave the way to acceptance for drone package deliveries at scale.
Pokemon Go and Augmented Reality
The Pokémon Go craze highlighted the potential of augmented reality (AR) not just for gaming, but also for industrial applications. AR is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics, or GPS data into a user's real view of the world. A good starting point for AR in the supply chain is in warehouses where workers are equipped with small glasses, like Google Glass, where the user will see a "digital pick-list" in their field of vision. The glasses offer real-time object recognition, navigation, barcode reading, and integration with the warehouse management system. DHL announced in 2016 that they will continue to expand their augmented reality program globally across several industry sectors.
There are other interesting use cases for AR in the warehouse here.
Robot Revolution
We are in the midst of a major sea-change in logistics where robots will increasingly play a central role in warehouses and last mile delivery. The rise of eCommerce has led to the need for logistics operators to rapidly fulfill and deliver small orders. This in turn, has led to advancements in robotics to support flexible and efficient warehouse order processing and last mile delivery. Amazon has about 30,000 Kiva robots in their warehouses. These robots locate the right shelving and move the shelving to a picking station, where workers take what is needed. The next generation robots, some of which participated in the Amazon Picking challenge in June, actually pick from the shelves and this technology is advancing rapidly.
It's not just Amazon working on robots, Fetch Robotics, is taking a collaborative approach where robots work alongside human workers. A robot, named Freight, follows a human worker around the warehouse and the worker packs items into totes. When a tote is complete, Freight takes the totes to it's next destination and another Freight robot is dispatched to the human worker to continue picking.
inVia, another startup, claims to be the first goods to box picking robot where the robot picks from the shelf and places directly into a shipping box. Interestingly inVia offers a 'robot-as-a-service' model where instead of making a large capital investment in automation, customers pay a monthly service fee akin to a mobile phone plan. This provides a huge opportunity for small and medium-sized eCommerce companies to take advantage of automation without having to make massive capital investments. This has the potential to level the playing field with the large scale retailers in terms of order fulfillment costs and productivity.
My Five Most-Viewed Articles
Ways to Think About Last Mile Delivery - Last mile delivery is going to change significantly over the next decade(s). The rise of customer-centric supply chains and emerging tech are accelerating the pace of change.
Pokemon Go is Coming to a Warehouse near you! - DHL are expanding their testing of augmented reality (vision picking) in warehouses for picking. AR has massive opportunity to finally replace clunky handheld scanners and provide a compelling hands-free option for picking.
Amazon, FedEx, and Adjacent Innovation - Amazon's previous forays into adjacent businesses (Marketplace, AWS, Fulfillment by Amazon) explain why they may get into the Logistics business.
Uber is a Platform for Logistics, not a Car Service - Uber is not interested in being just the car, truck, bus etc., they want to own the technology, data, infrastructure, and services required to optimally transport people and things. The Otto acquisition further strengthens the blatantly obvious - Uber is far more than just a taxi replacement.
Amazon Go and the Jobless Future in Retail - Amazon is attempting to completely reinvent how goods are purchased in retail stores. Just as Amazon transformed online retail with 'one click' purchases, there is the potential to transform brick and mortar retail with 'just walk out' purchases. Old jobs will be displaced and new jobs will be created, but what will be done to ensure a smooth transition from old jobs to new ones?

Modern Teenage girl Bedroom With Colorfull Decoration Ideas
Teenage girl bedroom ideas-The first season was so rewarding, and the good news is everyone else loved it as much as we did. So just having the conversion about gold bedding and unicorn heads and bunny lamps, inspired us to continue this journey creating a magical room.
We really wanted the second season to be an evolution of the first season. We took the same girl who was sort of on this magical journey.
It was like the next chapter for her. I think we still relied heavily on vintage inspired pieces and antiqued metals and off whites and creams. But, we took this Parisian sort of idea of ruffles and scallops and added in the dichotomy of skulls and ruffles or black and white.
We kept the same youthfulness and magic that we had in the first collection but edged it up a little bit. The denim chaise lounge, that we couldn't get enough of. We transformed it into a headboard. The chaise became a French grain sack stripe with some gold feet. We took the bunny clock that we loved so much and made it gold gilded.
This beautiful mason canopy bed is now bright and gold. We loved playing with the dark distressed floor and it really made some of the product we loved, really pop out. We really entered the world of total highs and total lows and mixed together to be perfect.
You can kind of merge this season and last season's product, and it can still be your own version of our room. You know, I think it all sort of goes together. I think a teenager really celebrates personal style, that's our ethos.
We're trying to bring out that spirit in everything we do and I think that PB teen celebrates that, when you flip through the catalog or go into a store. It's about taking things and mixing them together to be your own and say yes this is me. We are constantly waiving our Emily&Merritt wand over brands that we love, including PB teen.
This has been a perfect marriage, because we've always loved the Pottery Barn brands and this age is our favorite, because it's the most creative and it's the most willing to take risks and that's what we believe in when creating, is there's no rules.

It's hardly news that the institution of marriage has dramatically changed over the past few decades. In a 2004 article, sociologist Andrew Cherlin described society's declining expectations about how we form, maintain, and exit marriage as its "deinstitutionalization." In an era of deinstitutionalized marriage, then, individuals are liberated or burdened – depending on your perspective – to pursue romantic relationships on their own negotiated terms rather than as dictated by societal norms.
Scholars have speculated whether the benefits of marriage seen in past research – better health and finances, greater civic engagement, etc. – have diminished with this deinstitutionalization. That is, are the benefits of marriage disappearing as marriage becomes less distinct from being single? A recent study published in Social Science Quarterly seems to have found evidence that, yes, the protective health benefits of marriage have shrunk in the United States.
Dimitry Tumin of The Ohio State University College of Medicine made use of nearly 30 years of nationally-representative, longitudinal data to track the protective health benefits of marriage over time. Using the most rigorous statistical techniques available, he found that health improvements from marriage (relative to remaining unmarried) have diminished and can only be seen among women who have been married for more than ten years.
If replicated, Tumin's findings will have important implications for the institution of marriage and its impact on society. His study, however, has some important limitations. As Tumin himself acknowledges, its measure of "health" is a self-reported, single item on one's general health. Though researchers think this measure is a good indicator of later health outcomes, studies that lack measures of specific health behaviors (e.g., substance use) may be more sensitive. Tumin also ignores mental health, where the benefits of marriage may be most significant.
Additionally, positive health effects were still evident for those who have been married for longer periods of time, at least for women. This benefit disappeared for the cohort of married women born between 1975 and 1984, but relatively few of them would have been married longer than 10 years when the data were collected in 2011. If it takes time for health benefits to accumulate, then this last cohort may yet show gains as they and their marriages mature. In fact, the most important health benefits of marriage may show up in mid- and later life, when health issues become more common. A large body of research, for instance, documents how older married individuals tend to outlive their unmarried peers.
Tumin is generally careful to acknowledge these limitations and we should always recall that a single study cannot definitively answer any research question. Still, he concludes his article stating, carefully, that "[T]hese findings give further reason for skepticism about the capacity of marriage to enhance the public health."
Unfortunately, many media outlets reporting on Tumin's research were less circumspect and nuanced about his findings than their author. In fact, several truncated his conclusions to proclaim that marriage no longer provides a health benefit to those who marry. Yahoo Lifestyle proclaims:
[Y]oung married people aren't any healthier than their single counterparts. In other words, marriage's magical life-giving powers are weakening as time passes.
While the Reader's Digest concludes:
If you are looking for a way to stay healthy and live longer, tying the knot may not be the best or the cheapest option.
And Refinery29 reports:
[I]f you genuinely love the single life (as plenty of people do), this new research indicates that your health isn't doomed simply because you don't want to marry.
Not only do these oversimplify Tumin's conclusions, they ignore his calls for additional research.
Still, we should watch to see if researchers continue to find evidence that marriage's protective health benefits are diminishing. Tumin's original hypothesis was that the deinstitutionalization of marriage – the erosion of social norms that blur the distinctions between being married and unmarried – should reduce the benefits of marriage. We can't be surprised, then, at his findings. As he summarizes:
Recent evidence that marriage weakly influences health may reflect demographic and cultural trends that have undermined the protective effects of marriage.
For instance, marriage is no longer much of a transition for most young people: Almost all are sexually intimate before marriage, and most cohabit for a significant period before marrying. Additionally, many already have made major purchases together as a couple. There even appears to be a growing number of young people rejecting the quintessential marital norm of monogamy.
While popular media have used Tumin's study as a bullhorn to hail the virtues of the single life and dismiss the importance of marriage, they have missed the most important implication of his research: The deinstitutionalization of marriage may be eroding the benefits of marriage for its members, reducing overall health and well-being in our society.

Mark White, Past President
The volunteer board develops and maintains relationships with the community and are active in Hawai`i Craftsmen's mission, goals, objectives and programs. Historically, our board has consisted primarily of working artists, art educators and persons involved in the art community.
Executive Committee
Mark Mitsuda grew up in Honolulu Hawaii, and was introduced to glass during high school at Punahou School. Mark went on to art school and graduated with a BFA from Alfred University in 1992. He has studied with numerous glass artists at Pilchuck Glass School and has worked as a studio assistant for Rick Mills at the University of Hawaii. In the mid 90's he co-found Glass Design Group, a limited production studio glass studio in upstate New York. In 1998 he returned to Honolulu to teach glassblowing at Punahou School where he is currently the head of the glass program. He has taught at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina and has been a resident artist at the Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville Tennessee and is a board member of Hawaii Craftsmen.
Years ago I worked in clay and eventually made casts in handmade paper from molds of my clay pieces. I wanted to engage the viewer in thinking about the origins or inspiration of my stele-like forms and fragments that were inspired by objects I'd contemplated for years in museums and historic sites.
My subsequent non-linear career path led me away from making things, to helping others make art. But I never stopped being an artist…I just took a 30 year sabbatical. Fast forwarding a few decades, I resumed making objects in earnest several years ago, this time primarily in fused glass. I'm intrigued with the interplay between various colors and patterned shapes in my pieces. I like the way light passes through the glass and casts colorful shadows on walls and shelves. Some of my designs are inspired by maps which have fascinated me throughout my life. Others incorporate biomorphic and sometimes textured elements prompted by organic shapes I see throughout the natural world.
I am indebted to Sue, Jungle and Bud for introducing me to this wonderful if occasionally exasperating medium.
Board of Directors
Francisco Clemente, born and raised in Huelva, Spain, traveled throughout Europe before he settled in the continental United States. Becoming a general contractor, he was able to begin working with his hands and helped build many custom houses in Las Vegas. After a successful vacation to Hawaii, he made it his new home.
His progression from general contractor to artist was a natural one. Following a client's request for round posts for a four poster bed, he purchased a book on woodturning, a lathe, and taught himself new techniques. He began creating candle holders, then turned boxes that he would sell at local craft fairs, catching the attention of local galleries.
Always challenging himself to engage the media in different ways, he began stepping away from the confines of round forms and incorporated carving into his work. "The wood guides you—tells you what form it wants to be," says Francisco. He appreciates the freedom that creating an abstract form provides, utilizing every piece of wood, every scrap, capturing the innate beauty and essence of Hawaii's woods.
Francisco allows the logs to season and dry—often for years—which enables the colors and spalting to develop. He enjoys the challenge of working with different species of wood to create form and complements each with a finish that best suits the piece. Recently, Francisco began experimenting with surface textures, dyes, and color to bring life to plainly colored woods. "I am always looking for new or different ways to do my work—always in search of the ultimate expression," says Francisco.
My name is Evan Jenkins ( Hawaii Island ) and I live on the Big Island of Hawaii where I own and operate a private glass studio with my wife Fair Jenkins. I have a Masters of Art in Teaching from the University of Hawaii in Hilo, and currently teach Drawing and Painting at Keaau High school. I am an active community member, volunteer, and father of three young children. The organizations I support and offer my service to are the Special Olympics Hawaii, Volcano Art Center, Hawaii Artist Collaboration, AYSO, and of course Hawaii Craftsmen! My goal is to develop and provide more art education opportunities for the Big Island community as a whole.
Born and raised on Molokai Paula obtained a B.A. in Psychology from San Diego State University in 1978 and in May 2007, completed a second Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, Art Studio, from the University of New Mexico. Paula works in several mediums: photography, acrylic, encaustic, mixed media collage work and hand pulled printmaking (primarily intaglio and monotypes).
As an artist and an active advocate for the arts, Paula served several terms as an Art Commissioner for the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico and served as a board member and chair of communications for the Rio Rancho Art Association. She has organized and curated numerous art exhibits-including annual youth art exhibits and served as art curator for the Esther Bone Library-bringing in many art related programs and exhibits to the community of Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Paula currently serves as a board member for the Molokai Arts Center.
Juvana Soliven is a mixed-media artist born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. She received an MFA in Metalsmithing at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2016, a BFA in Sculpture at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2013, and also studied Art Restoration and Conservation at Lorenzo de' Medici International School in Florence, Italy in 2012. Work from Soliven's MFA Thesis Exhibition had recently been acquisitioned by the Cranbrook Art Museum.
Soliven is a Lecturer in the Department of Art and Art History (Sculpture) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and an Art Instructor at the Honolulu Museum of Art School. Her work examines the human condition through her mixed media studio practice, which includes working with metal, beeswax, fur, textile, wood, silicone, human hair, and animal remnants.
Tanyah Tavorn is a fiber, mixed media and theatre artist, with a BA in Art and Theatre from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She has enjoyed supporting a variety of community organizations and campaigns with graphic design, event management, and community engagement. She is currently working with Hawaii Craftsmen, Hawaii Fashion Incubator, Kipuka Theater, and Los Angeles Female Playwrights Initiative. She has participated in shows for Hawaii Craftsmen, UH Art Gallery, Trash2Fashion, Pacific Arts League, UHM Kennedy Theatre/Earle Ernst Theatre and Kipuka Theater.
Liz Train has a BFA in ceramics and an MFA in Fiber Arts from the University of Hawaii. She first joined Hawaii Craftsmen in 1979 and served as President in 1981 and 1982. Liz founded the Fiber Hawaii exhibit in 1982 and has continued to serve as chairperson of the exhibit for many years including the 2012 exhibit. She taught fiber arts at the University of Hawaii from 1980 - 1987 and was a museum educator at The Contemporary Museum from 1998 - 2005.As a Teaching Artist she currently works with the Hawaii State Art Museum on the ArtBento outreach projects and Artist in the Schools program at various elementary schools.

Beading ThreadWritten by Sarah Provost
Beading thread comes in a variety of materials, so you can choose the one that best suits your project. Various kinds of synthetics have taken over from cotton or silk thread, since synthetics are strong and resist fraying, raveling, tangling, and kinking. However, cotton or silk threads are still used for pearls, which need to have a knot between each bead to keep them from rubbing together.
Elastic Thread
One of the easiest stringing materials to use is elastic thread, which comes in synthetics such as Stretch Magic or conventional rubber covered with cotton. While it is usually thicker than other threads, it makes up for that with the convenience of claspless jewelry making. No need for clasps, crimp beads, cap beads or any kind of findings. All you need to do is tie the ends off, and the string will stretch to fit. No more struggling with clasps at the back of your neck or trying to fasten a bracelet with one hand! Elastic thread creates jewelry as easy to wear as it is to make.
C-Lon, Nymo, PowerPro and Silamde are popular kinds of synthetic, non-elastic beading threads. Silamide is a pre-waxed nylon thread of twisted filaments. It has a lot of texture or "tooth" and holds as you bead. PowerPro is a relatively new product made of pre-waxed braided thread. It has the strength of a coated cable wire and resists being cut by crystal and gemstone beads. Nymo thread is an especially strong parallel fiber thread with an excellent drape. The sizing is idiosyncratic, ranging from "OO'' (the thinnest) and "O" to "A" up to "G".
C-Lon seems to be the current favorite among beaders. It is stronger than Nymo, but has none of the stiffness of PowerPro or Silimide, which means a more natural drape. It comes in a wide array of colors and can be used for all kinds of beading projects, including loom and off-loom weaving.

Feelings of Fall
As the summer weather reluctantly gives way to cooler temperatures of early fall, color starts to return to the woods and fens. The mornings, evenings and nights become cooler and motivation returns to the inner spirit. Time seems to pass more quickly this time of year, as does life itself. Maybe it is because we are as reluctant to give up on summer, as nature herself, and resist the change. Seasons change just as lives change. Welcome the change.

Week 10: Garden State Helicopters Piloting Lesson
"If you are in trouble anywhere in the world, an airplane can fly over and drop flowers, but a helicopter can land and save your life." - Igor Sikorsky
What did I do:
Growing up a bit of a tomboy, one of my favorite shows to watch with my brothers was AirWolf (an oldie but goodie 80's television series). So when the opportunity came up to take a helicopter flight lesson while on the East Coast, I couldn't pass it up. Spent an afternoon at Garden State Helicopters in Lincoln Park, NJ for my first lesson. Be forewarned, getting from Port Authority to the Garden State Helicopters' headquarters was quite the commute consisting of a train ride, a bus ride and an uber ride. Once there, I was glad I made the trip.
Who was with me:
This was a solo endeavor with the exception of my flight instructor of course!
What did I learn:
I had no idea the helicopter was so light weight, 836 lbs to be exact. That is 3-4 times lighter than my mini cooper. There is a loose piece of string on the front of the helicopter called a slip string or a yaw string which indicates the slip or skid in an aircraft while in flight. It is actually functional and allows the pilot to read the slip-skid indicator without looking down at the instrument panel.
Would I do this again:
Absolutely. As a child, I day dreamed of one day taking Airwolf to Iran and rescuing the rest of my relatives and bringing them all to the US. I'll need to get a little better at flying before I can pull that off!

Game Night 10/26: Lightning at DevilsSubmitted by pete on October 26, 2005 - 20:56
Hard to believe the Lightning actually trailed in this game early in the third. TB-6 NJ-3 Tarnasky and Artyukhin were effective in limited ice time. Artyukhin with his first NHL point assisting on Andreychuk's game winning goal. Paul Ranger returned with 13:57 of ice time, 1 takeaway, 3 giveaways, 2 blocked shots and a -1 rating. I thought he struggled a bit at times. It might be considered natural that he wasn't as aggressive as usual given what he's been through. Artyukhin and Tarnasky each got a shade under 5 and a half minutes of ice time, both +1, and Evgeny landed 2 hits on the game.

Thanksgiving Celebration Klesis Style
The KleFrosh HG had their first ever Thanksgiving Celebration this year in the high school room at HB. It was a night filled with delicious food prepared by our very own Klesis staff and a range of desserts baked by our senior sisters. The night was also filled with acts various musical and dance acts from our students and staff. To start off the evening, a quartet performed a rendition of a classic hymn.
Next up, our freshmen performed a dance reflecting on their first semester at Cal and all the ways they've been loved.
Jeff and Crew took the stage afterwards with their own rendition of Lecrae and Tori Kelly's, "I'll Find You."
The Klesis seniors went all out with their dance to Manolo and rendition of History, recounting all that they've learned, the different people who've poured out for them and the ways God has been leading them these past four years.
The night ended with a fun and lively performance by the Klesis and Koin house brother staff, featuring Jon Kim.
By the end of the night we were are all stuffed with gratitude for all the ways God has been working in our lives this past semester and with all the tasty food our staff prepared. Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

Blogging I have not been for quite time some. I've when stopped long for too blogging, hard it's to start again. So many there are things in mind my. Don't know which one I posted wanted to. Random stuffs I'll post and talk here about.

Isle of Tortuga
We as earthlings, weak and fragile, always do face problems and disappointments. Others always tell us to forgive and forget, but I tell you to remember it and take it as a lesson for your life. A lesson, experience of life, that will definitely help to make us better. That's what matters.
Okay, back to the main point.
I'm still stranded in Kuching. Currently shaking my legs as if like I had finish my finals. But the fact is, I still got 1 more paper next week. What a weird university where we started our final exam last week but having a week break starting today. Gawai holiday, the most important celebration here throughout the year. Maybe that's why. Talking about final, I think I screwed up my maths paper. The toughest math paper I sat so far in this university. Now I even doubt myself that I can pass that subject. *face down*
Friends around are leaving one by one, back to their hometown. I'm still wondering whether is it a good thing or a bad thing. Wait for my last paper then only I will be consider as a free man then.
I have to admit that I'm in love with Pirates of the Caribbean movie and also Jack Sparrow's song. Both are just too nice and addictive. I suddenly fall in love with so many things. Or I should say food in exact. Food that I never try before until now. And one another thing, I think I'm fatter compared to my old self which is not a good thing at all. Duhhh.. I hate you, fats....
Let me just continue shaking my legs.. Adios and see ya in the next post.
Thursday, May 12, 2011
After 3 continuous days of tests and assignments, there is finally a bit time for me to take a breath from those works. Almost all assignments are coming to an end. That means, final is coming and also, holidays. I really wish that this sem will finish as soon as it can be so that I can enjoy 3 months of holidays. Thanks to the messy system of Swinburne, we finally know that we do not need to take winter sem. DaDaDa.... Good thing or a bad thing, I won't know for sure yet.
I can't seems to get the feeling and enjoyment of blogging yet. Maybe I'm too lazy or maybe I'm not really in that kind of mood. I do not know why am I thinking that way, but tiny little thoughts will eventually appear in my mind. I've thought of a good way to describe it, a creative mind. It teaches and trains me about creativity, one thing I'm lacking in. There are things that I'm lacking in but I wanted to try to be a better person. There are always times you wanted to do whatever that you like. But you know that it ain't gonna happen. Things just won't go to the way that you want it to be. Things are never smooth like you think. There is just this barrier that I can't go through myself. It's just too hard to go through myself. When I'm down, there will always be someone beside me to be with me.
There seems to be so many things that I want to blog but because there are TOO MANY of it, it stops me. Maybe I'll be back when I feel like blogging or when I got the mood of blogging again.

A little catching up
Human are just creatures that never can be satisfied. No matter how much they had received, they will never ever say enough for what they have. When they received something, they will begged for more. That's how pathetic human can be. That's how selfish human can be. But we as human being can't be blamed because we are just imperfect creature though we claimed to be the most advanced creature in this planet.
The one day KL shopping trip was tiring but rather nice. One thing to be remembered, the money I spent on food was more than I spent on my clothes. There was this bunch of friends (who are quite irritating) sat on the same train and monorail from Ipoh to KL and from KL Sentral to Times Square. How coincidence yet irritating that was. Another coincidence fact was we met up in the train back to Ipoh with my old friends who were in the way back from Singapore. One of the EXTREMELY tall friend of mine joke all the way back to Ipoh, joking loudly as if the whole train was ours. *come take picture come take picture ~ kampai* that's what he always shouted. How amusing that was. I was trying so hard to opened my eyes and close my nose to listen to him.
Tg. Tualang seafood lunch was indeed a nice one. It's not only about the food I consumed but the time I spent with my Form6 friends who I had lost contact for so long. The food and especially crabs were definitely finger licking good. That's no doubt about it.
The result is out today. I don't expect much but then thank God for everything, the unexpected result. One thing I won't forget, never to compare with others no matter what. This time result publication wasn't that happy to me because of something. I feel sad but then as you said, happy is better than being sad. Cheer up no matter what happen as I'm here, always. SMILE.
Now I'm waiting for that time to come , the time when we'll be able to meet again. :-)

The Time as it is...
Once upon a time,
when things were seems to be perfect,
thoughts will eventually appear in your mind,
like tiny little plants growing from the ground,
but as Time passes,
it will be gone without you noticing.
Houses are meant to be shelter of life,
serve for a purpose to keep warmth around,
but when the purpose is neglected,
spaces in it will remained as spaces as it is,
as Time passes,
tiny little solid dirt will build up,
dust as we human called it,
covered each and every corner of it,
leaving gap in between of the living and the dead.
New houses will be in attention,
old houses will remained empty as it is,
continue to be forgotten as it is,
but yet nothing can they do,
as human claimed it is the process of life,
leaving the old and moving ahead with a new beginning.
That's what Time meant to be,
as it serves its purpose.

A short trip to KL
Life is full of decision-making situation. Every single moment we might have to make decision and we have to live with the result that might came out of it. There is no good or bad, wise or stupid decision. Every decision lead us to different direction in our life. Though there might not be good or bad decision but there are just some decisions that we make which we regret because the outcome of the decision might be awful and saddening.
This KL trip decision was rather sudden for me. I just decided to go 2 days before that. Main purpose there was to shop. I only managed to go to MidValley and Sunway due to the limited time. The main point was, all of my meal during my stay in KL were Japanese food. Incredible!! I'm becoming a Japanese guy.. The most incredible Japanese meal was in Rakuzen. I have to admit that the food there were extremely nice. The sashimi was awesome. It actually melts in my mouth without having me to chew it. It was so fresh and soft. YUMMY!! And not forgetting the incredible dessert - ice cream.. It was SUPER DELICIOUS!!! The green tea and chocolate ice cream. It was just like the size of your thumb. The taste of green tea was so extremely thick and NICE. The green tea ice cream was like covered with green tea powder and once you bite it, the powder will covered your teeth while the ice cream within the powder will melt and flow out. Awwwww!!!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!
It's been like only 2 weeks but I feel like it's been years since I'm back.. Life is just torturing.

The departure of Munir El Haddadi to Sevilla has left La Liga champions short of depth in their striking ranks, with only Luis Suarez remaining as a recognised senior centre forward at the Camp Nou.
Carlos Vela y el Barcelona...— David Faitelson (@Faitelson_ESPN) January 18, 2019
Parecía imposible o poco posible. Hoy...¿una realidad?
Ernesto Valverde's side have subsequently been linked with numerous attacking targets to provide cover for the Uruguayan superstar. Former Arsenal forward Vela has been linked with a move to fill the attacking void but, according to Mundo Deportivo, the Mexican will not be pursued by Barca.
The 29-year-old currently plays for Los Angeles FC and has scored an impressive 14 goals in 28 MLS appearances for his side, having moved to the United States last year.
The former Arsenal prospect is well accustomed to La Liga, having spent six years with Real Sociedad after enjoying a previously successful one-year spell in Spain on loan from the Gunners.
Mexicanos con más goles en 2018:— Xavi ➔ (@XaviSol_) January 19, 2019
22⚽ Hirving Lozano
16⚽ Carlos Vela
14⚽ Henry Martin
14⚽ Raúl Jiménez
13⚽ Elias Hernández
11⚽ Miguel Sansores
11⚽ Victor Guzmán
10⚽ Javier Hernández
10⚽ Erick Gutiérrez
10⚽ Alexis Vega
10⚽ Alan Pulido
Vela notched 69 goals in 252 La Liga appearances during his time with the Basque side but, according to the report, Barcelona will not make a move for the Mexican due to concerns over his ability to provide a 'guaranteed' goal scoring threat.
It is suggested that Valverde's side have reservations over Vela's ability to make a competitive return to the top level in both La Liga and the Champions League, having spent time in the less intense environment of the MLS.
Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is also said to have been among Barcelona's list of targets, though the former Real Madrid star is reportedly closer to joining La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid.
Barca are, though, in search of a striker who has similar previous experience of the Spanish top flight, with Tottenham's Fernando Llorente another option.
The Spurs forward previously starred under Valverde at former club Athletic Bilbao, though the report notes that Harry Kane's injury setback would make a deal for the Tottenham outcast unlikely.
It is suggested that any potential arrival at the Camp Nou this month would have to be on a loan deal, with the Catalan giants operating on a limited budget in the current transfer window.

this is where south korea meets north korea. this is the most heavily fortified border in the world. land mines on either side, soldiers from the south (pictured) facing soldiers from the north in a stare down, standing in a ready-to-go taekwondo stance.
intense, to say the least.
checkpoint charlie...on the southern side.
i went to the dmz exactly one year ago. now, tensions are close to a breaking point. as an expat in korea, i'm hoping the tension will ease off.

When I was in the Army (1970-73), an assignment to Vietnam was not as dreaded as an assignment to Korea and duty along the 38th parallel. It was a tinderbox.

SURREY, B.C. — A man has been charged with murdering a 13-year-old girl whose body was found in a Metro Vancouver park over a year ago in a crime that caused people in the community to feel unsafe, police said Monday.
Marrisa Shen was last seen in the evening of July 18, 2017. When she didn't return home, her mother called police, and officers found her body in a wooded area of Central Park in Burnaby early the next morning.
On Monday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced Ibrahim Ali, 28, had been charged with first-degree murder, two weeks after police became aware of him.
Supt. Donna Richardson, the officer in charge of the team, said Ali is a Syrian national who moved to Burnaby as a refugee 17 months ago. She said the permanent resident of Canada is employed and has family in Canada but she couldn't provide any other details pending the judicial process for the man who is scheduled to make his next court appearance on Friday.
None of the allegations in the case have been tested in court.
Earlier on HuffPost:
Richardson said the investigation that involved 600 interviews and the elimination of over 2,000 persons of interest was one of the largest in the history of the team since its formation in 2003.
"We still believe this crime was a random act, meaning that Marrisa did not know the suspect and vice versa," Richardson told a news conference, adding the investigation involved multiple RCMP detachments and municipal police forces.
The Immigrant Services Society of B.C. issued a statement after receiving media interview requests about the arrest and charges: "This was a horrific case and we share the public's and the victim's family's desire for justice for Marissa. At the same time, we wish to caution the public against stigmatizing an entire ethnic community for the alleged criminal act of one individual from that community."
Shen's family thanked the public for their ongoing support in a statement read by Cpl. Frank Jang of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
"We are aware that so many people reached out to the police to provide information and we are so grateful for that," the family said as they asked for privacy.
"We hope that justice will now be served and that Marrisa can finally be at peace in heaven."
Captured on security video
Shen was seen on security video entering a Tim Hortons about 10 minutes after she left home at 6 p.m. and she was last seen around 7:30 p.m. walking near the coffee shop. Shen's mother reported her missing at 11:30 p.m. and the girl's body was found 90 minutes later, police have said.
Her family has said the girl planned to travel and visit friends in China the summer she was killed.
A year after her death, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team held a news conference near the wooded area where Shen's body was found as Jang appealed for help from the public and said police had no suspects despite following up on 200 tips.
