In this guide, I have a quick tip on animation cancelling in the Lord of the Rings Online. This method of combat allows you to increase DPS, quickly finish skills, and potentially smoothen gameplay.
This guide has three parts:
· Overview on animation cancelling with video examples
· Class-by-class animation cancelling abilities
· Closing notes
In this guide, you may notice the use of the words "ability" and "skill", these refer to the same thing and are used interchangeably.
Animation Cancelling Overview
In LOTRO, ability speeds are inherent properties of every ability in the game that determine how fast your skill will trigger when you press or click the button to activate the ability. The three possible speeds are:
· Normal (no text is displayed)
· Fast
· Immediate
By using an immediate ability, your character instantly stops what they are doing to perform the action of the immediate ability. Thus, cancelling the animation.
Animation cancelling has three basic steps:
1. Use an ability (that you want to cancel the animation of)
2. Wait for the ability to trigger (usually a fraction of a second)
3. Use an immediate ability
This is often done with powerful, long-animation abilities to quickly trigger the full attack/benefits of the ability to skip the animation and be able to quickly use your other abilities.
One important note is on what immediate abilities you use. Most immediate abilities provide some utility or strong benefit to you or your group. It may be wise to save their use for when needed, to not 'waste' them on DPS and faster actions.
Many immediate abilities interrupt inductions, a powerful effect.
Below is a video showing animation cancelling (right) as it compares to the normal animation of abilities (left) on a few classes with some popular combinations of abilities to animation cancel.
Immediate Skills by Class
Below is a list of immediate skills that can be used to animation cancel (excluding long CD skills) sorted by class, alphabetically.
Viscious Claws – Interrupts inductions and deals damage (gaining other benefits from class traits).
Addle – Interrupts inductions and increases induction time. Improved Addle adds a tactical damage debuff to the enemy.
Double-edged Strike – Unlocked by a critical hit at the start of the critical chain, it deals damage and opens critical chain finishers.
Kick – Interrupts inductions and deals damage.
Clobber – Interrupts inductions and deals damage. Costs 1 fervour.
Battle Frenzy – Yellow line - adds fervour.
Sweeping Riposte – Blue line - available after parrying, it deals AoE damage.
Sudden Defence – Blue line - adds a personal bubble, absorbing damage.
Unbreakable – Blue line - defensive buff that increase morale and tactical mitigation. After being hit, Mighty Roar unlocks, another immediate skill that deals AoE damage.
Stamp – Interrupts inductions and deals damage.
Ignore the Pain – Removes debuffs.
Hunters do not get an immediate skill (that is used to animation cancel).
Lore Masters do not get an immediate skill (that is used to animation cancel).
Cry of the Chorus – gives a buff, based on stance, to improve ballads and codas among other boosts.
Gift of the Hammerhand – Gives a bubble to the target, absorbing damage.
Soliloquy of Spirit – Blue line – heals the target.
Rune Keeper
Final Word – interrupts the target, attuning 3 neutral attunement. Improved Final Word removes up to 3 corruptions.
Word of Exaltation – Gives a bubble to the target, absorbing damage.
Essay of Exaltation – Blue line – ground targeted ability that gives a bubble to nearby allies, absorbing damage.
Wardens do not get an immediate skill.
Closing Thoughts
Cancelling animations can allow you to continue to use other abilities in combat faster, ultimately allowing for more damage or the ability to use important abilities earlier. For classes with long animations, such as Guardians and Champions, it can make gameplay feel smoother, allowing for some skills to have a more immediate impact (such as Sweeping Cut). Frequently, animation cancelling will just increase kill speed, however, it may save you sometimes! It is often important to save immediate utility skills for their use and not use them just for animation cancelling. This is especially true with cooldowns and interrupts!
On a personal note, I am not a big fan of animation cancelling being a thing, in particularly of it being needed for a class to perform optimally. I believe any utility skill that has a niche use should not have a use for animation cancelling. On the other hand, it is important for interrupts and similar skills to go off quickly after their use – for some classes with long animations, having them immediately go off is important.

As I work on class mini guides, I have noticed some important game mechanics that are worth their own topic. I will be formatting mini guides knowing that these have been or will be released. As the game mechanic topics come up, I will focus on those guides. Otherwise, I am still working on class mini guides!

You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.–Mr. Rogers
My employer gives the gift of a 3 month sabbatical for folks that have been with the company for 5 years. I reached that mark this past April, but the planning for my sabbatical started back in autumn of 2020. At that time, I debated whether it was a good idea to take a sabbatical in the midst of a pandemic. But at the gentle urging of wise friends, I decided to go ahead and go for it.
In the months leading up to it, I was approaching my sabbatical like a project, because I wanted to make the best of this generous gift of time. I kept asking myself, What could I accomplish in three months? What goals should I set? What boxes could I check off?
Initially, I was super excited to start new projects, revisit neglected ones, learn new things, and return to work as an improved version of myself.
As a planner by nature, I made lists upon lists, only to find myself overwhelmed with the seemingly endless possibilities. Whenever I have these many possibilities, I find myself paralyzed with indecision on how to proceed. It got to the point that I felt like I really needed to reel it in and get to the core of what I wanted… not just out of a sabbatical, but from myself.
My teammates are always thinking of and are very giving to others, and I really treasure that quality about them. While this is a great and admirable quality, I have found that I have a tendency to over-deliver on it and lose sight of myself.
After some thought, I decided to lower my expectations for quantifiable accomplishments during my sabbatical, and concentrate on returning to work as an improved version of myself. To improve myself, I concluded that needed:
- To get to know myself outside the context of work, home, and various responsibilities,
- To treat myself with kindness, and
- To accept and like that person I was getting to know again.
Getting outside
One of the most important things I taught myself was to get outside. Not just out of the house, but outside my head. I found myself going on frequent walks, usually without prior planning for a particular route or destination. I made lots of neighborhood discoveries — gazing at gardens in full bloom; finding tiny libraries, fairy doors, and yard art; greeting neighborhood dogs and cats (and even chickens and tortoises); listening to orchestra musicians practicing in their backyards. I also spent a lot of time sitting in various parks, reading, listening to podcasts, and watching dogs play.
It turned out that it was really helpful for me to get out of the house, in order to get out of the context of the place where household chores and other responsibilities are always looming. This helped clear my mind to enable me to spend intentional time with and for myself.
Taking the idea of getting outside even further, as the time progressed I wanted to get out of the context of our town to reset a bit. We took a couple of local day trips, and eventually, once we were fully vaccinated, even hopped on a plane a couple of times.
Where the heart is
Part of nourishing my heart is spending my time with loved ones. I'm grateful that I was able to reconnect more deeply with my spouse and close friends, and I've been grateful for having family close by again. Maintaining these kinds of connections is important to me, especially during the pandemic.
The Rest
I listened to a lot of podcasts, played video games, read books, and watched plenty of movies and television shows. Because I cannot resist making lists, I published a list of everything I consumed.
Speaking of rest, I did a lot of that. It was incredibly restorative to be able to get the sleep my body needed (despite still battling with occasional insomnia, and a recurrence of some health issues from earlier this year). I wrote in my paper journal. I kept up with my therapy sessions. I meditated. I got my hair cut by a pro for the first time in 21 months. I got a manicure and pedicure. I cooked. I supported local chefs' pop-up businesses. I drove around without a destination. I wandered plant nurseries with no agenda. I tended to my house plants. I assembled furniture. I sketched. I went to the art museum. Inspired by one of the MasterClass courses I took, I even bought a DJ controller and started dabbling in DJing.
These were all things that contribute to who I am! Reflecting back on all I experienced, this is the most "me" sabbatical I could've taken.
A video composed of 1 second of each day of my sabbatical.
Bringing it all back
I feel like I really had the time and space to get to know myself again, and I hope to bring my full self back to my everyday work. I don't want to lose sight of who that person is, so I want to be more aware of when I am losing myself in my work and not having a good balance in my life, because that is what often leads me to stress and burnout. As I returned to work last month, I wanted to be aware of setting boundaries for myself and others, getting the rest I need, not overcommit and over-work, and asking for help when I need it.
I came back to work refreshed and ready to dive back in with a new and improved perspective, so I'd call my sabbatical a success.
Bonus: Link to some photos from my sabbatical. Lots of cats, food, drink, and parks 🙂

Waiting for your immigration case to be processed can be a very anxious period in you or your loved ones' life. You may be trying to organize many things such as housing, transportation requirements or healthcare. One of the most common questions immigration lawyers get asked is, "Can I work while I am waiting for my immigration case to be processed?" The answer depends on several factors. In certain types of immigration cases, an immigrant may obtain permission to legally work while their case is pending.
Keep reading to see some examples of situations where an applicant can obtain permission to work in the United States while their immigration case is pending.
People with pending asylum applications, who have been waiting for 150 days or more without a decision, are allowed to apply for a work permit. Please note however, that you will not be eligible to receive the work permit until 180 days or more have passed while you are waiting for a final decision.
Keep in mind that any actions that you take to delay your process, like asking for a continuance of a hearing or rescheduling an interview, will "stop the clock" and might add days to the time by which you are able to apply for a work permit.
We file for work authorization for our clients as soon as they are eligible.
Marriage to a Citizen
The application for a work permit can be included with the initial green card application package if you are applying as the spouse of a US citizen? One less thing for you or your loved one to worry about!
Marriage to a Permanent Resident
If you are married to a US permanent resident ("green card holder"), the work permit process is slightly different. You must wait until you are eligible to file your green card application before you apply for a work permit.
Fiancé Visa
If you enter on a K-1 visa as the fiancé of a US citizen, you can work in the U.S. only if, after entering, you apply for and receive a work permit. The difficulty with applying for a work permit on a K-1 visa is that the USCIS Service Centers normally take between 45 to 90 days to issue them. This means that your chances of receiving your work permit while you are still eligible for it, as the holder of a fiancé visa, are slim. It may actually be easier to marry your partner as soon as possible and then focus on your adjustment of status (or green card) application.
Cancellation of Removal
Immigrants placed in removal (deportation) proceedings may be eligible to apply for a green card if they can demonstrate that they are a person of good moral character, have been physically present in the U.S. for ten years, and their removal from the country would pose a an extreme hardship to a qualifying relative (a spouse or child who is a US citizen or permanent resident). An immigration may be eligible even if he or she has no immigration status or entered the U.S. without inspection. This type of relief is known as cancellation of removal for non-permanent residents.
If you are in removal proceedings and have filed an "Application for Cancellation of Removal", you can file for work authorization while you are waiting for your court date.
Immigration law is constantly evolving and can be a very overwhelming. Each case requires individualized assessment before any legal advice can be provided. Contact the team of experienced immigration lawyers at The Center for Criminal and Immigration Law for a consultation today!

Real Time Support Group? Skype?
KI4TFT posted a topic in General FitnessSo, my wife and I have been working the same dietician and the same counselor. We've both made great progress. Her program has been greatly enhanced by a weekly support group. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for us to attend the same group, and most other groups are tied to a specific "diet plan". Would anyone on Nerd Fitness be interested in getting together via Skype for a weight loss support group?

The first character I ever loved was a troll assassin, and I cheated when rolling him up.
Russell has given me the keys to the car, and I should really drive more carefully, and not mess with the radio so much.
Ben here.
I'm not so proud that I won't admit to wallowing in adolescent power fantasy. When I was 13 or so, we moved half-way through the school year from Georgia to Oklahoma, and I didn't know anybody and didn't really fit in. At the time, I was a nascent genre geek (Doctor Who, Robotech, Voltron, Blakes 7, Tripods, Star Wars, Star Trek etc), but not yet a gamer. A chance glance over the seat in the bus to see the magazine another kid was looking through hooked me in, and my destiny determined then and there.
My own copy of Dragon lead me to order a catalogue for a game shop that shipped things – please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. God, what an age. Paper catalogues, checks in the mail, and the waiting and waiting. My first game was Champions but it was years before I actually figured out how to play it. Trying to learn to play a tabletop rpg (especially one as mechanically involved as Champs) without the guidance of a more experienced player proved more than I could manage. I wonder how often this was the case – and if my gaming lineage could be traced back to the Founding Fathers if you could follow the chain of players and groups.
I eventually found a group, and they were playing Palladium Fantasy.
Pal has a lot of critics, and I've had some things to say about them myself, but I've probably spent more money on Palladium books over the years than any other company's output.
As a kid, their stuff was perfect because every book was full of new toys. New guys you could play with morebigger powerz and skills and gear and guns and and and. Toys. Gewgaws with cool pictures and lots of exclamation marks in the descriptions. When I read shit like "Absolutely destroys EVERYTHING!!!!!" in a weapon description, I probably got a boner. I was transitioning away from actual toys (and caught some grief for clinging to my Legos for so long), and Palladium stepped up and gave me toys I could play with all the time, in my brain. In class, the margins of my notebooks were full of crude sketches of all the badass shit my guy would have in the games I would never actually get to play.
What was I talking about?
The first character I loved, right. He was a troll assassin in a Palladium Fantasy game. I looked through the book, and picked a guy with the best dice for rolling Physical Strength, and the class with the best damage-dealing potential out of the starting gate. I armed him with the biggest pole-arm weapon in the game because it did the most damage. Not exactly a ninja, but in a strictly literal sense, he made a very good assassin – if you paid him to kill somebody, he was well equiped to do it.
This was especially true because I cheated like a bastard when rolling him up. What are the odds of rolling all 6's on that P.S. roll? If allowed to roll up my character before the game, while observed only by my shriveled superego, 100%.
So that was my first "my guy" – the character I really got into, really projected my imagination through as an avatar in the shared fantasy. An artefact of my duplicity, inspired by my insecurities, and equipped to be everything I wasn't in the real world – powerful, ferocious, immoral, and aggressive.
I've not forgotten what Skar the Manslayer taught me – there's fun in escapism, there's fun in power-fantasy, and there's fun in toys and gewgaws. Even when I'm operating in indie auteur design poser mode, I try and remember those things.

There Is Only So Much You Can Do with a Spreadsheet
Microsoft Excel is truly one of the most useful applications ever developed. I love Excel and apparently many others do considering how widely used it is. However, as a data science professional, it boggles my mind to see some of the advanced analyses, critical projects, and laborious data shaping that business analysts force through Excel. You can ask a lot from the tool but at some point you really need to expand your toolset to make the most of your valuable data. IBM SPSS Modeler is a drag and drop data science workbench that business analysts can use to easily shape, analyze, and model their data—without the limitations of spreadsheets and without the need for tedious coding.
The First Essential Step Toward Successful Predictive Analytics is Knowing Your Business
Business domain knowledge is often crowded out by the incessant drumbeat of data science tools and methods e.g., Python, Deep Learning. However, the secret that most companies are unaware of is that estimates show that only ~20% of data science and machine learning projects actually succeed. There are many good reasons for this but a top factor is the lack of understanding of how a model should be defined to represent the business problem and how the output will be incorporated into the daily business workflow. To successfully deploy models and algorithms, the business objectives need to be clear and a solution must be compatible with an organization's workstream. Business analysts know how their organizations function and are well-positioned to make this happen.
The Second Step is to Know Your Data
In reality, your organization is not likely to get anywhere with predictive analytics unless it knows and understands its data. Yes, there are solutions that can ingest massive amounts of data and automatically identify useful patterns and variance, but successful projects begin with a deep understanding of not just the available data but also of the missing data needed to complete the project. Business analysts know their organization's data and how it can be applied to the business challenge. What they need is a more advanced tool like Modeler to get the most out of this knowledge.
To help business analysts with this opportunity, eCapital produced a 9-Module IBM SPSS Modeler on-demand training series designed specifically for business analysts who need to level up their tools and use their knowledge of their business and the data to have a greater impact on the business.
It's a great time to be an analyst. Data are now strategic assets and it's time to stand out among your peers and DO MORE with your data by starting your IBM SPSS Modeler training today!

By: Matthew Henry
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 287
Vendor: Christian Heritage
Publication Date: 1994
|Dimensions: 7 X 5 X 5/8 (inches)

True prayer comes from the heart, so why do we need a method? The great devotional commentator and pastor shows here that Christians benefit from discipline just as much as talking freely with God. You will discover the methods Jesus taught, look at styles of prayer, and see helpful examples. Duncan has incorporated some of Henrys other work on prayer.
Whether the reader is looking for a guide to public prayer or an encouragement to private prayer, Henry's work is a key text, drawing the mind again and again to Scripture as it seeks to shape our prayer life by the forms and priorities of God's own revelation of Himself.-- Carl R. Trueman (Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Grove City College, Pennsylvania)
It's good to see this classic on prayer in an accessible edition. Ligon Duncan has done brilliant work, adapting Matthew Henry for twenty-first century readers without sacrificing any of the depth and devotional value of the original Puritan work.-- John MacArthur (Chancellor Emeritus, The Masters University and Seminary and PastorTeacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California)
Prayer is an amazing privilege, but it's also a discipline for which we need direction and instruction. Like a trellis, Henry's Method for Prayer helps us to grow up in a Godward direction, not only to think more biblically, but to pray more biblically as well.-- Michael Horton
Ligon Duncan's editorial work has given this valuable book a new lease of life.-- Banner of Truth
This is an reprint of an old classic Matthew Henry of Commentary Fame. It is two books in one...For Henry, as for other puritan nonconformists, prayer was not simply a Sunday activity. He presupposes the earnest Christian would engage in public prayer, private prayer and family prayer. He regrets that it is to spend so many hour in sleep! The value of this publication is shown by the fact that it has required three editions in recent years.-- British Churchman Newspaper
Matthew Henry towers above the centuries as the undisputed king of devotional commentators, the premier verse-by-verse expositor of the English language. He is a treasured gift to the church, who speaks to all generations in all places. To sit at his feet is to be served a rich banquet. To study his Method for Prayer is to drink from a deep artesian well. Wise is the one who plunges themselves into this storehouse of truth.-- Steven J. Lawson
Matthew Henry's work is a most helpful resource and safeguard for ministers, but it will also be of great use to all Christians who long for more structure in their prayers...Every prayer is not only grounded in Scripture, but bursting to the seams with the very words of the Bible;-- The Evangelical Magazine
This book is a classic resource for learning how to pray according to biblical priorities, and for being re-inspired to pray with a heart for God's purposes. The work is timeless because Henry's words are so resonant with the heavenly themes that enable us to face earthly trials.-- Bryan Chapell
Matthew Henry sets out a specific plan for prayer - a reminder that prayer should be ordered and not haphazard and the Lord's prayer is a pattern to which we ought to pay more attention...good biblical teaching which, if followed and worked at, would enrich both private and public prayer.-- Evangelical Times
When a tool that has helped teach Christians to pray with biblical fidelity and spiritual integrity, across a span of three centuries, is being distributed again and in fresh ways, thoughtful believers can only applaud and give thanks to God for the grace that has brought forth this fruit.-- D. A. Carson (Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois)
The great and nearly unique benefit of Henry's Method for Prayer is that it flows so directly from the biblical text. His approach enables the believer not only to read the Bible and study the Bible, but also to pray the Bible-- Philip G. Ryken (President, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois)
"Matthew Henry's A Method for Prayer is not simply a classic book in prayer. It is a marvelously relevant tool for assisting believers in shaping their prayers before God. I have found great help in Henry's method, but even more help in his passion for encouraging his readers in bringing their hearts to the God whose steadfas love has been manifested in Jesus. Highly recommended!"-- Sean Michael Lucas
If I were to recommend one book for those who are to lead in public prayer, this would be it. Can we pray 'according to Scripture'? Two hundred astonishing pages into Matthew Henry's A Method for Prayer and you will realize the answer is an emphatic YES! Henry's Method, which is really just traditional Protestant public prayer, will revolutionize the prayer life of any individual or congregation that studies it.-- Terry L. Johnson
Reading this book elicited a twofold response, ranging from a sense of guilt and shame as it exposed many shortcomings in this important duty, to inculcating an earnest desire for fervency, and to add considerably to the petitions normally brought before God. This book is highly recommended.-- Monthly Record
Who of us hasn't had trouble with prayer at some time or another? And here is a God-sent solution: Matthew Henry's A Method for Prayer. This book is worth its weight in gold (platinum?). No one utilizing this book can fail to profit from it.-- Derek W. H. Thomas
Prayer is the breath of the believer's heart. It is a delight, a duty, and a discipline in which we desperately need the aid of godly pastors such as Matthew Henry. For more than a decade, A Method for Prayer has sat beside my desk where I can feed upon its timeless sustenance as it instructs me and bids me to gaze upon our Lord and feed upon His Word in public and private prayer.-- Burk Parsons
Our Sovereign Lord communed with the Father in prayer. His disciples wisely asked, 'Teach us to pray.' And that request has been answered through the centuries both through the word of God and through the example of praying saints. Matthew Henry's A Method of Prayer is itself an answer to prayer, an answer to the request, 'Teach us to pray.' Henry's life and ministry make it clear that he was a man of prayer.-- Thabiti Anyabwile

England men earn cracking 5-2 win over Germany
England's men in South Africa
England's men earned a very pleasing 5-2 win against Germany to end their trip to South Africa in fine style.
It has been a very positive experience for Bobby Crutchley's side, with eleven players making their England debuts, three wins in four games, Chris Griffiths back after long term injury and some very important work on the training pitch for the new squad.
With World Cup qualification on the line at the Hockey World League in London this summer, it was a perfect building block for the men's team.
With a number of players missing through injury, and the likes of Barry Middleton and Adam Dixon unavailable following the Hockey India League, the three wins in six days - including this result against a German side who finished third in Rio - were especially pleasing.
The game exploded into life and Germany went 1-0 up inside two minutes, but England had the perfect response, Sam Ward equalising three minutes later. Captain Ian Sloan made it 2-0 with 10 minutes on the clock, and new recruit David Goodfield then scored twice to give England a 4-1 lead at half time.
Both teams scored in quick succession early in the second half, with Chris Griffiths on target for England, and a pulsating game ended 5-2.
England head coach Bobby Crutchley said, "It was a great way to finish the trip. I thought we really learned a lot from the performance and how we pitted ourselves against the German side.
"It was a highly competitive performance from the players and excellent to end the trip on a high note."
England: Gibson, Creed, Sanford, J Griffiths, Willars, Weir, Sloan (c), Turner, Ward, C Griffiths, Ansell
Subs used: Pinner, Hoare, Albery, Gall, Carson, Scott, Goodfield
During this trip there have been England debuts for Brendan Creed, Harry Gibson, Liam Sanford, Ed Horler, David Goodfield, James Turner, Jonty Griffiths, James Albery, Liam Ansell, James Gall and Peter Scott.
George Pinner and Ian Sloan have each worn the captain's armband twice during this trip
David Ames was unable to make the trip through injury, while Phil Roper picked up an injury in training and did not play in any of the matches. Chris Griffiths though did make his comeback after long term absence which forced him to miss last summer's Olympics.

India beat Belarus 3-1 to clinch women's hockey series 5-0
BHOPAL: Indian women's hockey team dished out a disciplined performance to notch up a 3-1 win over a fighting Belarus and register the five-match Test series 5-0, on Wednesday.
Vandana Katariya (6th min), Gurjit Kaur (15th) and Rani (55th) sounded the board for India, while Yuliya Mikheichyk (52nd) scored the solitary goal for Belarus.
Captained by striker Rani, the Indian women were quick to get off the blocks as Vandana scored a stunning field goal in the 6th minute of the match.
The first quarter went on to be an eventful one for the Indian team, as Gurjit Kaur successfully converted a PC in the 15th minute to take her side 2-0 up against Belarus.
Though the two teams showcased good defensive structure in the following two quarters, the visitors found a breakthrough in the 52nd minute when Yuliya successfully converted a penalty corner.
However, the Indian defence held strong thereafter, and even converted a PC through skipper Rani in the 55th minute to eventually seal the match in favour of India.

Indian eves keep the clean slate
By B.G.Joshi (Sehore-Bhopal, India)
Always win is only possible if you play with weaker teams. This essence occurred in India-Belarus hockey test series. World number 12 India outplayed number 20 Belarus by winning all 5 test matches played in SAI sports complex Bhopal. Both teams have prepared themselves for forthcoming HWL-Round 2 in Vancouver (Canada) from April 1. Top 2 teams from Vancouver will qualify for HWL-Round 3 (World Cup Qualifier). Here are statistical highlights:
*Till date Indian eves had played 51 test series against 23 countries, won-20, lost-26 and drew-5.
*On home soil India won 9 test series out of 12 played.
*Indian ladies have played 700 international matches since inception in 1953, won-277, lost-308 and drew-115.
* Rani Rampal- a prolific scorer has scored 108 goals in 185 internationals played by her since debut in 2008.
* So far India-Belarus head to head: Played -6, India wins-6, Goals for India-20, Goals for Belarus-6.
Shahril wants to score more in World League

KUALA LUMPUR: It's hard not to be angry with yourself for not scoring more goals against weaker opponents.
That's why 23-year-old forward Muhd Shahril Saabah (pic) is far from pleased with himself despite having netted five goals – four field and one penalty corner – in two matches of the ongoing World Hockey League Round Two in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Top seeds and world No. 13 Malaysia defeated hosts Bangladesh 3-0, Oman 6-1 and Fiji 11-1 in their three Group A matches.
And Shahril, who has represented Malaysia 60 times, believes he should have done way better.
"I failed to get my name on the score sheet in the opening match against Bangladesh," said Shahril, who made his national team debut in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh in 2012.
"It wasn't a good start as I missed a few sitters.
"My penalty corner conversion rate is not good either ... I only managed to score once from the five I took in the three matches.
"I should have scored more goals against our weaker opponents in the group matches."
But he won't have to wait too long to add to his tally as Malaysia will be up against minnows Sri Lanka in the quarter-finals at the Maulana Bhasani National Hockey Stadium today.
World No. 41 Sri Lanka finished last in Group B with three defeats – scoring seven goals and conceding 16.
"I watched Sri Lanka play against China on Tuesday ... they played well and created a few chances. They have a balanced team, so it would be foolish to take them lightly in the quarter-finals.
"I want to continue scoring goals and help Malaysia win the tournament ... and also become the top scorer," said Shahril, who is the joint top scorer with Ghana's Johnny Botsio.

Lawrence to hockey players: Be history makers
National football coach Dennis Lawrence.
Dennis Lawrence, the new T&T football coach, has challenged young hockey players to go out and be history makers, as he and the Soca Warriors did back in Bahrain 2005 when they qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, which was the first time the country ever played in the tournament.
The hockey men will contest Round Two of the World Hockey League at the end of the month at the National Hockey Centre in Tacarigua. They will play in Pool B of the tournament which comprises Russia, Japan and Switzerland while Pool A consists of Barbados, Chile, Malaysia and USA.
The local stickmen will open their campaign against the Russians on March 25, and will look to attain one of the top three qualifying spots that would enable them to move on to the FIH World League Semi-Finals (Hockey World Cup 2018 qualifiers) carded for June and July this year.
Lawrence, who accepted an invitation to speak to the young players from his close friends Glen "Fido" Francis, who is national coach and his manager Kirth Davis, said that God used him to take the T&T team to the World Cup but the young hockeymen must now look at being the next group of people to make history for T&T.
"We need to now start thinking right. I want to be the group to create the next bit of history. And the next bit of history will be what you have set out to achieve, the target that the coaches and managers have left for you since September. You've worked hard for it and you deserve it. You have given up the time and you have given up the service. Go out now and deliver," Lawrence said to an attentive group of youngsters at the National Hockey Centre on Monday night.
He told them being selected for a national team means they are among a special group with the opportunity to give back to the country, noting that it is important that they are committed to the task at hand, if they are to achieve this.
According to Lawrence, "Commitment is coming and giving your and understanding that you are in a position that so many others would love to be in."
He described commitment as a critical factor, saying it is staying firm to what the coaching and managerial staff wants to do and how they intend to go about doping it.
He urged them that players tend to lose commitment when the game gets tough by pulling away from the game plan, however he reminded them it is when the pressure builds that you need to stick to the game plan, saying.
The players later went through their paces in an intense session under Davis and Francis, who later said his troops are 80 percent ready, despite comprising of eight newcomers.
According to Francis the team will be strengthened by the return of veteran Kwandwayne Brown, Tarique Marcano, who plays professionally in England and Shaquille Daniel who is undergoing intense military training in Chaguaramas, on March 19.
The team will also play two international friendly matches against regional neighbours Barbados on March 20 and Chile on March 23, ahead of the tournament.
Francis, an ex hockey standout in his hey days, believes his team will advance to the next phase of the tournament despite facing difficult oppositions.

Shaw Reveals Upcoming Fixtures For Green Army
Ireland's Green Army re-emerged onto the world stage of international hockey in emphatic fashion in January as they stormed to victory in Kuala Lumpur. The side racked up no less than 39 goals throughout their 6 matches and never looked troubled by the opposition. World League 2 in Malaysia marked the first major international tournament the young side had participated in for over 16 months; the last being the Eurohockey Championships II in Prague in July 2015.
But this team have been working away tirelessly behind the scenes waiting for this World Cup campaign to begin. Head Coach Graham Shaw has moulded a disciplined, creative side with a strong core set of values that encompass life on and off the pitch. "Over the course of the last two years we have expanded the squad to 32 players. We have a very strong culture within the team that is very much led by the leadership group and the players".
A mouth-watering list of fixtures awaits the girls in green as their preparation for World League 3 goes up a notch in the coming months. The Green Army will face the current world number 2 England in a series of training matches at Bisham Abbey that are certain to be a vital learning experience. They will then face Olympic bronze medallists Germany in Dusseldorf for 2 test matches (April 12th & 13th). Germany are a young side with talent abound so again a challenge awaits the Green Army but one which Shaw says the team are relishing "Playing top ranked teams and Olympic medallists like England and Germany provides us with the perfect test after such a successful World League 2 in Malaysia".
The players enjoy a period of domestic hockey at the business end of the season with Cup finals along with EYHL finals and EY Champions Trophy fixtures occupying the calendar. The side will then head across the Atlantic to Pennsylvania where they will face the USA in 3 test matches at Spooky Nook on May 24th, 26th and 27th. Team USA looks a slightly different side from the one Ireland traded victories with in Valencia in 2015 as they are without the now retired Lauren Crandall, and the Reinprecht sisters. However, they still have the services of Olympians Melissa Gonzalez, Jackie Briggs and the always-dangerous Kathleen Sharkey amongst others.
It is likely the final matches for the Green Army prior to Word League 3 will be a 4 Nations Tournament in Berlin (June 15th-18th). Germany will play host to Ireland, China and New Zealand; with the other three opposition all sitting within the top 8 in the world this again look's a challenging set of fixtures for the world number 16, although they have proven time and again they are more than capable of playing above their ranking.
The next 3-4 months carved out by Shaw look set to be ideal preparation for the side, several of whom will never have previously played in a World League 3 or equivalent tournament. Shaw concluded "The contact days over the next 4 months leading up to World League 3 will be vital. Between our national camps, and particular USA and 4 Nations we have great opportunities to improve and grow our culture further. America and the 4 Nations also offer us top quality opposition with very different styles which will be invaluable to us as we look to perfect specific tactical elements in the run up to World League 3".
Upcoming Fixtures:
13th March- Ireland vs England at Bisham Abbey (Uncapped training matches)
15th March- Ireland vs England at Bisham Abbey (Uncapped training matches)
16th March- Ireland vs England at Bisham Abbey (Uncapped training matches)
12th April- Ireland vs Germany at Dusseldorf HC

24th May- Ireland vs USA at Spooky Nook, Pennsylvania

With five teams chasing the last three play-off places, the Investec Women's Hockey League Premier Division is heading for a dramatic final few weeks - and this weekend sees two crucial games between teams aiming to reach the Finals Weekend.
The University of Birmingham leapfrogged Clifton Robinsons into fourth spot last weekend, and they will be aiming to hold on to that position when they host them on Saturday.
"With only three games to go there are some tight matches to come," said University of Birmingham Head Coach Phil Gooderham. "It's an old cliché but it's true to say that we are taking each game one at a time.
"We've had a tough season with players not being available for us because of various international tournaments, but this weekend for the first time we're picking from a full squad - apart from Olivia Paige [who aggravated a thumb injury while playing for England in South Africa]."
With just one defeat in their last five games Birmingham are a side in form, and Gooderham added: "The girls are feeling positive, they have been working hard all year and will be doing their best to reach their season-long target of making it into the play-offs."
Elsewhere, East Grinstead are at home against Leicester in another battle between two teams targeting a place in the play-offs. The Sussex side could clinch their spot at Finals Weekend if they win, and other results go in their favour.
At the other end of the table Bowdon Hightown could climb out of the bottom two with a win this Saturday – but they face a tough trip to leaders Surbiton.
Slough are currently third-bottom, and will want to win to keep Bowdon Hightown below them. However, they face Holcombe at home in their game this weekend.
In the top flight's other game bottom of the table Reading head to Canterbury desperate for a win to keep their hopes of avoiding the drop alive.
In the Investec Conference West, leaders Buckingham are at home against Gloucester City, while second-placed Stourport – who lost the lead following last weekend's defeat to Buckingham – go to Isca as they bid to re-take top spot.
Brooklands Poynton could wrap up the Investec Conference North title if they beat Ben Rhydding this weekend. Elsewhere, second-placed Beeston will be hoping Brooklands lose and they win at Liverpool Sefton.
And leaders Wimbledon head to Harleston Magpies in the Investec Conference East on Saturday, while second-placed Sevenoaks are on the road at Southgate as they maintain their bid to take the title.

Nur Insafi and Police set for Cup showdown after easy wins
Star player: Nur Insafi's Muhammad Bilal Qadir (right) in action during the President's Cup semi-final, first leg match against RMAF at the Tun Razak Stadium yesterday. — GLENN GUAN / The Star
KUALA LUMPUR: Nur Insafi's Muhammad Bilal Qadir and Police's Baljit Singh Sarjab bagged a hat-trick each to virtually ensure their teams' places in the final of the President's Cup hockey competition.
In yesterday's semi-final, first-leg matches at the Tun Razak Stadium, Division One champions Nur Insafi routed Royal Malaysian Air Force 6-2 while Police gunned down Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)-KPT 6-3.
The Nur Insafi-RMAF match was supposed to start at 5pm, but a downpour forced the game to be delayed for 45 minutes.
But the heavy pitch posed no problems for Nur Insafi, who scored through Bilal (13th, 36th and 52nd minutes), Nur Rahul Hrsikesa Thaitchana Muruthi (33rd), Aamir Shahzad (44th) and Muhammad Ateeq (50th).
Mohd Zulfadli Rosley (26th) and Jamil Johari Ghazali (42nd) reduced the deficit for RMAF.
Bilal, who featured for Pakistan in the Sultan of Johor Cup in Johor Baru last November, was happy with the win.
"We are virtually through to final as we have a four-goal cushion going into the second leg match on Friday," said Bilal, who has scored 10 goals so far.
"This is first time I'm playing in the MHL (Malaysia Hockey League) and I'm happy to have scored my second hat-trick."
Bilal also scored a hat-trick when Nur Insafi beat Police 5-3 in a league match.
In the other semi-final, Baljit converted two penalty corners (44th and 54th minutes) and a penalty stroke (60th).
He has 21 goals to his name in the MHL.
Dick Cheny Waili added a brace (20th and 34th) while Muhd Razali Zulkipli (14th) scored the other for Police.
Muhd Termidzi Ismail (10th and 59th) and Amir Zulkarnian Ahmad Robani (15th) replied for UPM.

Jacques Jewels: Mental toughness a messy issue
s2h team
Recent research shows that one in three professional footballers has been struggling during the active career with mental problems.
Especially after a serious injury or sporting disappointment.
We can hold our heart for Robin van Persie, Wesley Sneijder and their teammates when qualifying for the World Cup, failed.
Major causes are the big money, the huge attention and the personality cult.
Especially when soccer offers huge purse. Just see this reality. The magic of happiness and emotional quality of life can be met with an income of 70k euros per year. Most of us do in that bracket. But alas, that's a pittance against the prevailing salaries of footballers of our times, which run into millions.
A professional sports career starts from 7 to an average of 32 years and in those 25 years, it comes every day to get better. A long journey of sacrifices with peaks and valleys. Go only to stand. How do you deal with that?
Of course, an athlete responsible, although only really since his or her 18th.
Around trainers, coaches and parents is usually not in a position to make a difference for a talent and goes along with the issues of the day. Coaches focus on their own careers. Parents dream about the future of their child.
But what does this group of vulnerable, sporty children themselves? Vibrance, stress, self-confidence and focus will determine the mental fitness. To develop and improve it determines the difference between gold and silver, profit or loss, happy or unhappy.
There's a lot of hidden uncertainty among football players. Soil his youth. To guard against the harsh world of football and for fear of abuse put players at an young age dejected.
"Good speech, though I do not understand Dutch,'' said former FC Utrecht player Kristoffer Peterson about the peace conference of coach Erik ten Hag.
This statement does not stand alone.
Players are terrified of sanctions by trainers and coaches. The lease is early in there. Athletes constantly say 'yes', and there are few coaches who give their pupils a sense of security.
Unfortunately we see in football that entire families are dependent on the success or failure of their children.
The pressure is enormous at a young age. To reach the top quickly reveals a sensitive and transparent attitude you will not be appreciated. In fact, you should settle and redeem like a chess piece.
We must become aware of this process and make our own conclusion. Because the current training of top talent does not deal warm the mentally fragile players.
With hockey trying to emulate football, though a long shot, events like Leagues, like Hockey India League, provide a cauldron of emotions for players which need mental toughness to be there, and excel, and then start earning

Before we jump into the data points, I'd like to remind readers that keyword selection matters just as much for YouTube videos as it does for regular pages or posts. You need to start by selecting a focused keyword phrase that is relevant to your content and your target market. The fact remains that knowledge of one's domain and the tools out there is vital to success. The quality and quantity of links you have pointing to your site has a direct bearing on how highly it ranks in organic search results. It's one of the great things about the field. Continuous targeted learning can help you gain skills for snatching traffic from many mediums, not just the search engines.
With the vastly reduced price of international communication and shipping, a logical next step is to launch a multilingual website. Thus, the door for spam SEO was wide open and high rankings were able to be achieved with relatively simple methods. Whatever shows up in the search results box has been searched for before meaning these long tail keywords could be very valuable. But remember these just give you a starting point to work off, people have Googled some quirky things so don't think just because something shows up that it will make a good long tail keyword. Google suggestions give you a great place to work from but shouldn't always be taken at face value. your business's industry is also maturing. For example, optimizing for speed, technical audits and mobile formatting.
This is where most online advertisements are charged by the number of clicks that result in direct interest of a user. "Limited time" and exclusive promotional offers rarely are exclusive in reality. What is generally the one thing that may prevent someone from using my service? SEO in Snaith is here. A mobile-friendly website will shrink its pages to be viewable on mobile devices, while mobile optimization is the process to offer visitors seamless experience optimized for mobile devices. While external links that point to your site provide long-term SEO value, so do links on your site. When you include internal links (links on your website that point to other pages on your website), you send signals to search engines that tell them how to understand, prioritize, and rank the pages on your site.
Gaz Hall, a Freelance SEO Consultant from SEO Hull, commented: "It is not known how many users out there use the Google Toolbar, but the authors believe that they number in the millions. Google can track the entire web surfing behavior of these users." Do your maths - its one of the primary resources for this sort of thing. Its as simple as KS2 Maths. Really! Today's content can't afford to be boring, mundane and useless. Website optimization is a long-term process which requires carefully tracking all your efforts. When it comes to keywords, you have to know which ones work in favor of your rankings. Sometimes, webmasters do not use spammy tactics for generating content but their pages are still fall under the thin content category because they do not answer user's queries, either because the content isn't relevant, it is too short or because it doesn't match what you promise on the page title or meta description. Click through rate is a good indicator of whether you're attracting the right or wrong website visitors and if your website content is what your website visitors are looking for. If you're attracting the wrong audience or your webpage content isn't interesting, relevant or useful to the audience, your CTR will be low.
Links and content are certainly at the top of your SEO strategy. However, Google identified CTR and user experience as major ranking factors. Increasing one will certainly increase the other as well. It is imperative that website owners and site developers engage in user testing. Without actually measuring what users are doing when they visit a site, one can't possibly know how a website is performing. What a lot of site owners don't realize is that link building is not the only way to increase your domain authority and PageRank. Crazy, right?Evergreen content. Content you write once, and have it ranking for years and years. Content that constantly brings in traffic and compounds in value.
Your website pages must have strong calls to action that make it easy and tempting for search engine traffic to take the next step in the business relationship. Without that, your SEO spending is wasted. Here are tips for crafting strong calls to action: However, there are limited techniques that you can use to encourage the success of your digital marketing efforts. Some directories cost money in order to be accepted into their listings. Once again, while some of these can pass legitimate value, others pass little and aren't worth your time or money. If none of those works for you, then perhaps it's time to consider that there might be a problem with the recipe. Make sure that all of your web pages can be indexed by search engines - make sure that they all have at least one link from somewhere on your site.

In October 1990, when the United States and the Soviet Union co-chaired the Madrid Peace talks between Arabs and Israelis, the two bitter enemies sat across from each other for the first time since the 1948 creation of Israel.
Secretary of State James Baker did the shuttle diplomacy and took ultimate credit for the historic event, famous for its political significance and the high drama that unfolded during its opening session.
A landmark achievement for the United States, it marked the start of the so-called "American Era in the Middle East." It was also the beginning of the end of Russian influence in the region. Two months later, the USSR was dissolved.
The Madrid process eventually led to the 1993 Oslo Accords between Yasser Arafat and Yizhak Rabin, and the 1994 Wadi Araba Agreement between Israel and King Hussein of Jordan. It even came close to inspiring a Syrian-Israeli peace agreement in the mid-1990s.
The engineer of the original Madrid breakthrough was George HW Bush, the 41st president of the United States, who died at his home in Houston over the weekend, aged 94. Depending on who one talks to in the Arab world, he is either hailed as a brave visionary and history-maker or dismissed and written off as a war criminal. To the generation of Arabs who supported Saddam Hussein, Bush falls into the second category.
Bush and Iraq
In the US, Bush is known for the 1990 liberation of Kuwait. In the Arab world, he is remembered for purportedly having given the green light for the initial invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's forces.
At a bare minimum, the Bush Administration (1989-1993), was seen as giving Baghdad the false impression that the US would not interfere if Saddam's army embarked on a military adventure in Kuwait. That pledge — as understood by Saddam — was delivered by Bush's Ambassador to Baghdad, April Glaspie. According to cables released by the Bush Library, her first meeting with Saddam took place on July 25, 1990.
Saddam had complained to Glaspie, saying that Kuwait was ignoring OPEC quotas — costing him billions in lost oil revenue — and pumping crude oil from a disputed oil field.
According to a transcript declassified and released by the Margaret Thatcher Foundation in 1998, Ambassador Glaspie said that she "had served in Kuwait 20 years before; then, as now, we took no position on these Arab affairs."
Eight days later, the Iraqi Army stormed its tiny neighbor, occupying the oil-rich sheikhdom.
As a veteran of World War II who was shot by the Japanese, Bush considered Saddam Hussein another Hitler. After a demand for the unconditional withdrawal of Saddam's forces from Kuwait, which the Iraqi leader ignored, Bush drew up the famed coalition that staged "Operation Desert Shield."
Saudi Arabia bankrolled the operation with $36 billion (out of a total cost of $60 billion), while Arab heavyweights like Egypt and Syria sent troops to the Arabian Desert, placing them under the command of Bush's trusted general, Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of all coalition forces. Bush made sure that it was an "international coalition" and not just an American and European one, as he believed that support for his war from Arabs and Muslims was crucial.
The conflict, which shaped the minds of an entire generation of Arabs, famously started in February 1991. It was over in 100 days, ending with the liberation of Kuwait and the death of 20,000 Iraqis. Subsequent sanctions slapped on Saddam's regime bankrupted Iraq and destroyed the lives of millions of Iraqis while having no effect on the Iraqi dictator, his sons, or his entourage.
Iraqis accuse Bush of obliterating their once mighty army and of encouraging Shi'ites and Kurds to rebel against Saddam, only to look the other way when they actually did so, resulting in the massacre of thousands. Bush Sr also refused to allow his forces to push forward to Baghdad to topple Saddam — something that was eventually done by his son, George W Bush, in 2003.
"To occupy Iraq would shatter our coalition," said Bush back in 1991, "turning the whole Arab world against us." It would also, he said, "make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero."
However, the 1991 Gulf War did just that for Saddam. It also introduced a heavy American military presence in Saudi Arabia — something that enraged a Saudi citizen named Osama Bin Laden who cited that presence, among other things, as one of the reasons for the terrorist attacks of 9-11. On a more positive note, it also triggered the Middle East peace talks, eight months later.
Palestine-Israeli conflict
Bush was no Arab sympathizer and is also remembered for successfully lobbying the United Nations to revoke a 1975 resolution linking Zionism to racism. Using his influence, however, he forced the Israelis to show restraint when Saddam Hussein fired Scuds at Tel Aviv and Haifa. He had a troubled relationship with then-Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, especially after he withdrew loan guarantees for further settlements unless the Israelis promised to erect none in Gaza and the West Bank.
Shamir was pushing for an expansion of settlements to absorb the rising number of Jewish settlers coming from the USSR. In September 1991, he spoke of the pressure being applied on him for that purpose "by a thousand Jewish lobbyists on Capitol Hill, against little old me." Shamir was also entirely unimpressed with having to sit across the table from representatives of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), who attended Madrid as part of the Jordanian delegation.
The former US president, scheduled to be laid to rest on Thursday in Texas after a four-day tribute, leaves behind a very different landscape in the Middle East. America's influence in the region is declining and rapidly being replaced by that of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Syria, a country that Bush courted during the peace process, is at extreme odds with the United States. Iraq is still in a shambles, thanks to the combined efforts of the Bush dynasty. The Arab-Israeli conflict is far from over, hampered by the very obstacles that existed when Bush left the White House in 1993.
Countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council are curious when it comes to dealing with Bush's fourth successor, Donald Trump, who shows little or no interest in promoting peace or stability in the region.
The Saudis are particularly upset, given the contradicting signals they have been receiving from Trump, who says that he will support them until curtain fall yet refused to end support for Qatar after its 2017 diplomatic quarrel with Riyadh, and more recently, left them in confusion over the Khashoggi Affair.

Will Jameel Warney (29, 199.8cm) be able to wear the Seoul SK uniform next season? If he continues to accompany him, he alone will become KBL's first record.
Warney showed 카지노사이트the performance of KBL's best foreign player in the 2022-2023 season championship match against Anyang KGC, which recently ended. He overcame the sluggishness in the 2nd and 3rd games and played an active role with an average of 19.9 points, 11.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 7 games. In Game 6, he scored 31 points, his most in an individual championship match. Although SK stayed in the runner-up, in the 7th game of the championship match held in 14 seasons, it played a famous match against KGC and presented the essence of spring basketball to basketball fans.
Warney said, "It would have been better if we had won, but all SK players, including me, did their best. I sincerely thank the fans who sent a lot of support. I think I had the most enjoyable season with the fans."
The story created by SK and KGC also drew attention. The two teams faced each other in last season's championship match and the final of the EASL Invitational Tournament. During the two seasons, he has emerged as a new rival by playing 25 official matches. Warney said, "We know each other too well. It was a championship game where both teams showed everything they had."
Warney showed his fighting spirit with a knee injury. Leon Williams left the country on the 9th, but Warney boarded the plane on the 11th after taking two more days of rest. "There is no big problem. We plan to start rehabilitation when we return to the United States," Warney explains.
Warney debuted in the 2019-2020 season and played for 4 consecutive seasons in SK, reigning as the best foreign player in KBL. He had a difficult season in his second year due to personal issues, but recently showed off his strength by winning the Foreign Player Award for the second consecutive season. He won the foreign player award three times in his career, and is tied for first place with Johnny McDowell and La Gun-ah for the most awards. If he wins the Foreign Player Award in his next season, he will rise to the top of the list for the 2nd consecutive season after McDowell and the most awarded.
McDowell is a foreign player who can be counted first when discussing the genealogy of long-lived foreign players. He played for Daejeon Hyundai (now Jeonju KCC) for four consecutive seasons from the 1997-1998 season, and played for seven consecutive seasons at KBL before being kicked out of Ulsan Mobis (now Hyundai Mobis) in the middle of the 2003-2004 season.
Although he led the KBL foreign player trend in the early days of his debut, Hyundai ended its relationship with McDowell after the end of the 2000-2001 season when he failed to advance to the semifinals. McDowell was still active as a top-notch foreign player, but he decided that a change was necessary to rebuild the famous family.
Ricardo Powell was one of the foreign players who played for the same team for five consecutive seasons. Powell wore the Incheon Etland (now Daegu Korea Gas Corporation) uniform for five consecutive seasons, from the 2008-2009 season, his debut season at KBL, to the 2015-2016 season, when he was traded from KCC during the season.
However, Powell headed to the G League to challenge the NBA after the 2008-2009 season, and returned to E-Land in the 2012-2013 season after a hiatus of three seasons. There is still no foreign player who has played for the same team for 5 consecutive seasons without a break.
Although it is reserved for Laguna to play for KCC for 5 consecutive seasons, Laguna is active in KBL after going through a special naturalization draft as a special naturalized status. Excluding foreign players who are playing through exceptions, Warney is challenging the first record that even McDowell could not set.
As much as it still showed its competitiveness, SK is highly likely to push for renewal of the contract with Warney. An SK official said, "Both Warney and Williams are considering renewing their contracts. Not only domestic players, but also Warney is highly satisfied with working with Williams." Warney expressed a cautious stance on whether to return to SK, saying, "We are reviewing it positively."
When it comes to SK, the first foreign player that comes to mind is Aaron Haynes, but maybe Warney will become a legend beyond Haines in the future. Will the partnership between SK and Warney continue into the next season?

Libraries Transforming Communities grants
Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities will offer more than $7 million in grants to small and rural libraries to increase the accessibility of facilities, services, and programs to better serve people with disabilities.
To be eligible, a library must have a legal service area population of 25,000 or less and be located at least five miles from an urbanized area, in keeping with Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) definitions of small and rural libraries.
ALA is now accepting applications for grants to be distributed over the next three years ranging from $10,000 to $20,000. ALA will accept applications from November 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023.
Participating libraries will first conduct community input-gathering sessions to assure that their work aligns with local needs. Libraries will be required to identify the primary audience they are hoping to reach (e.g., homebound seniors, children with autism, Deaf community members) and facilitate a community conversation with the impacted populations in order to guide improvement of the library's services. Grantees would then use the funds to create services or improve their facilities based on the needs identified by their audience.

ALA Survey (forwarded by John)
I hope you are all feeling refreshed and inspired after last week's WLA Conference. While at the DPI booth, I spoke with a Reference Librarian who asked if I would share a survey with Wisconsin Library Systems.
ALA-RUSA (https://www.ala.org/rusa/) has a newly-formed subcommittee: User Services in Public Libraries. The charge of the subcommittee is to study, promote, and support the role of reference and user services in public libraries.
They have just put together a short survey to help identify needs and interests of reference workers in public library settings. It takes about five minutes to complete. Please feel free to share this with your member libraries. Your participation is greatly appreciated!https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScG9cIk-8LkxbQhpNouAU5o7FrxhTbCa5BixgtoGB-OLbCgTg/viewformHere's the link:

You can suggest discussion topics when you register, or you can suggest them at the event. After collecting all of the suggested topics, everybody in attendance votes for their favorites, and then we break into small groups for discussion. At our Unconference, you determine the conversation!
Sign up for our mailing list, follow us on Facebook and Twitter, or visit our website for updates.
- When: Friday, January 13, 2023, 1 – 4:30 pm
- Where: Superior Public Library, 1530 Tower Avenue, Superior, WI 54880
- Registration: Now open!
- Cost: Only your time!
- QUESTIONS? Contact us!
You made it to the end of the email! Here's your prize. Have a great weekend.

The fat problem with Pablo Sandoval only begins with his weight
[fragment number=0]COMMENTARY Fat athletes can be fun. There's a long list of portly players throughout history that fans have gravitated towards whether it be due to their relatable shape, or a spirit just as large as the frame that envelops he aura. Rich Garces, Vince Wilfork, and Glen Davis are only a few of the beloved bellies Boston fans have embraced over the years. Tony Gwynn and Babe Ruth were two of baseball's most renowned hitters. John Kruk created a persona surrounded by the fact that his weight and off-field habits didn't necessarily affect his athletic ability. Bartolo Colon is fat and fabulous at the age of 42.
Pablo Sandoval is no fun.
The Red Sox third baseman punched in for duty at spring training in Fort Myers, Fla. Sunday morning and immediately became the punchline of camp. Sandoval, coming off a season during which he hit .245 with a .658 OPS after signing a five-year, $95 million contract with Boston, arrived in Florida looking just as large as he ended his first campaign with the Red Sox. The Boston Globe's Jim Davis had the money shot of Sandoval working out at third, his girth protruding over his shorts, seemingly boasting of an offseason flirting with Sara Lee and Colonel Sanders.
Wasn't it just last month Red Sox manager John Farrell said that Sandoval had lost 20 pounds over the winter? Either Farrell was greatly exaggerating the weight loss, or Sandoval went really hard at the turkey legs during his recent visit to Walt Disney World.
The man is fat. This should be of no real revelation to anyone.
Except maybe, that is, Pablo Sandoval.
"I don't try to lose weight or nothing. I just do my work, feel better,'' Sandoval told reporters Sunday. "I don't weigh in at all…I just do my work, try to do everything I can. I don't weigh in all offseason. I just try to get better, be in better position, be an athlete.''
Had Sandoval performed anywhere close to how he did in San Francisco over seven years, perhaps this wouldn't all be as big of an issue. It's not like the guy was a perennial MVP candidate with the Giants, but the free agent attractiveness for Boston lay in his postseason numbers (.344, .935 OPS) and the undeniable yet dubious thought that the Red Sox could market his "Panda'' personality.
Red Sox fans thought they were getting a solid solution at third with a gregarious personality to inject into what had become a tedious team to root for. They got neither.
Sandoval insisted on Sunday that the team didn't request that he lose weight during the offseason, which had Farrell trying to cover for his "20-pound'' suggestion in January.
"We told him we needed him to come back in better condition,'' Farrell said. "Along with that, you anticipate there's some potential for weight to be dropped. But there wasn't a specific number given where we said, 'We want you to come in at this weight.'''
Potential for weight to be dropped?
It was at the Red Sox' Winter Carnival at Foxwoods just a few, short weeks ago when Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said that the team had been in "constant contact'' with Sandoval, and reiterated that Farrell said the third baseman had lost weight.
"Again, they call him 'Panda Bear' for a reason. He's not going to be real skinny. But he's also one where we think he'll move around better with where he is, and he's worked very hard this winter,'' Dombrowski said. "Nutrition's been important for him, and I think he's out to show he's a better player than he performed last year.''
Well, he's off to a good start then.
But whose fault is all this, really? The Red Sox knew what they were getting into when they signed Sandoval, listed at 5-foot-11, 255 pounds, but their covering for his hyperbolic offseason regimen is embarrassing for both the team and player. Sandoval looks no different than he did last spring, and his attitude suggests that he's completely unaware of his surroundings, despite Farrell's decree that the player wants to make amends after his awful, debut season in Boston.
Nobody was expecting Channing Tatum to waltz into camp on Sunday, but the fact that Sandoval looked as if he just finished a Netflix binge session didn't ease any fears that he might not be as committed to improving as the Red Sox want everybody to believe.
Sandoval had 15 errors at third base in 2015. Guess how much he worked on his fielding during the offseason.
"I did no work in the field, nothing,'' he said.
He says he has nothing to prove, except to prove to the fans that he "can be a better defensive player and offensive player to win games.'' It's a message of inconsistency that both Sandoval and the Red Sox are selling, making Farrell and Dombrowski look foolish in their misrepresentations of the player's offseason.
"I can't tell you if he got on the scale or not,'' Farrell said. "I can tell you that after visiting him in January, he looked like he was in better condition. I will say that when we met with every player at the end of last season, each player was given a specific plan, a workout routine, to go into the offseason.''
"Better condition'' is the new "lost weight.''
Whatever phrase you use, it's inaccurate. Pablo Sandoval is as fat as he ever was.
If I were the Red Sox, I'd be more concerned about the fact that he doesn't seem to give a damn rather than at what he tips the scales. The guy has $71.8 million still coming, and no takers on the market for his services. Everybody else is laughing at the Red Sox.
Why do they get to have all the fun?

Crossbody Bag - Moschino - Jw Anderson - Michael Kors Outlet - Gedebe - Salvatore Ferragamo: sales in the B-exit online outlet - Valentino Garavani: sales and outlet prices on discounted shoes - Fuchsia - Orange - Gray - Black - Aperitif with friends - 30% - 50% - 50% - 70% Woman
Michael Kors: buy shoes, wallets and bags at discounted prices
Michael Kors can really be considered one of the most important designers in the world, who, thanks to his tenacity and passion in the fashion industry, has succeeded in transforming his brand-name into one of the most important fashion brands of the moment.
Michael Kors style, whose brand was initially used only for the production of fashion accessories, has gradually specialized in the creation of women's fashion, such as shoes and ready-to-wear clothing. Over time, the brand has then launched men's fashion which includes accessories and travel items.
From the earliest years in which it appeared on the New York catwalks, the Michael Kors brand has recorded a great success, also thanks to the fact that the designer made clothes that drew inspiration from famous people, such as Ali MacGraw and Jacqueline Kennedy.
The idea of the brand was to introduce a fanciful and lively style, without neglecting the tastes of those who prefer the sporty style (in fact, not all models are elegant).
Michael Kors Outlet: 60% off shoes, bags and accessories
Part of the brand's success certainly depends on the famous bags by Michael Kors, available in countless models and materials, starting with handbags, as well as shoulder bags and mini rucksacks, up to the most elegant travel accessories, such as large bags, luggage and Michael Kors backpacks.
Clutch bags made with materials such as satin, leather and velvet are among the most classy accessories.
Do not miss Michael Kors Shoes
Even Michael Kors shoes are characterized, in particular by the high quality of the materials used.
The style of Michael Kors' accessories has become increasingly sophisticated over time, to the point of launching new clothing models, thus becoming one of the most important points of reference for designers and VIPs.
One example is the Michael Kors wallets, valued, in demand and sold all over the world.
Today the brand stands out for the elegant and refined lines of all the models, many of them in leather or combined with other materials, such as denim.
Over time, the brand has launched very diverse models to meet the needs of the particular style of every buyer.
Michael Kors products are among the best sellers in the world
Many accessories have the brand name in plain view, while others are more discreet, distinguishing themselves however in the refined lines or the presence of a characteristic pendant bearing the initials of the famous brand, expressed with the diminutive of "MK".
Many models come in textured leather, others with a smooth or satin surface, with saffiano leather or coated twill, with the possibility of choosing from a wide range of materials and colors.
Today the MK brand can truly be considered one of the most prestigious brands of all time, with its many boutiques around the world, from the United States to Japan. In fact, there are hundreds of sales points all over the world.
Salvatore Ferragamo certainly represents a guaranty in the fashion world.
If you would like to make a clear change to your look, the Salvatore Ferragamo collection can satisfy any need for every occasion, even more so at outlet prices.

The union of simplicity with originality represents the main criteria on which the brand bases its philosophy to create different footwear which are sub-divided into two categories: ordinary ones and those created specifically for special occasions. In both cases, it is possible to immediately notice the high stylistic level which distinguishes the articles.
Moreover, comfort and simplicity play a fundamental role thanks to which it is possible to immediately note how the brand gives importance to practicality and above all to the pleasure of wearing their shoes.
Salvatore Ferragamo bags outlet
Even the accessories are made with the same criteria of professionalism and aesthetic care. As in the case of Salvatore Ferragamo bags, every single detail is subjected to a very precise care to give life to articles that adapt to every occasion.
The choice of top quality also plays a fundamental role, given that the materials used are because of their longevity which is never put in second place.

From shoes to bags, the brand has distinguished itself over the years by lines with a strong personality and a style that is always well-balanced and studied in the smallest details, without ever leaving any detail to chance.
Valentino Garavani, iconic and fashion shoes and bags
La Maison offers the opportunity for all women to choose from Valentino Garavani shoes ranging from classic décolleté to ballerina flats, from boots and ankle boots to more sporty shoes such as sneakers.
In leather or suede, embellished with studs, straps, buckles or laces, with high or low heels, all shoes are able to give a touch of class to the entire outfit.
Even Valentino Garavani bags - ranging from the smallest shoulder bags and clutch bags to hand bags of various sizes - are all of the highest quality, strictly in leather and enriched with special details, such as studs.
With Valentino Garavani, a man is always fashionable
The Valentino Garavani accessories for men offer a series of stylish, elegant and sporty products that make it possible for a man to feel at ease on any occasion. B-exitoffers much more than Valentino Garavani sneakers and classic shoes, the line also includes men's bags, such as shoulder bags, in leather or fabric, with different prints and colors. One must also mention the simple black clutch bags with the unmistakable logo.
Therefore, with this brand even men have the opportunity to indulge themselves with original and quality products, to always be fashion and, at the same time, elegant and classy, precisely because style, in this case, is not a possibility but always a certainty.
