Singapore is a great city to work in. It's secure not just in terms of crime, but also in terms of job security. But at the same time, because it's such a safe place, our children have lesser room to learn from hardships compared to children living in other countries.
CEO of Ascott Limited and father of three, Lee Chee Koon, agrees. His position in international business lets him see how the youth of other countries struggling with unemployment are pushed to seek jobs overseas. This competitive experience in available job opportunities is something our local children won't have as much trouble with, therefore leading them to be unchallenged in their bubble of comfort.
But Mr. Lee sees a future where this comfort would be temporary, where our kids would soon be required to compete with foreign workers. Their bubble would burst, and they would be forced to deal with the harsh reality.
"Singapore is a safe environment. We really care for citizens from cradle to grave," Mr Lee says. "It's nice to work here, but it's also quite surreal, because the rest of the world is not like that. Even the other global cities."
Therefore, Mr. Lee feels that it's better for our children to fail faster. When they fail faster, they learn faster.
"We need to be prepared to let our children make mistakes and fail," says Mr Lee. "Our role is to provide a safety net, and not to over-parent."
To deal with the lack of challenges for his children in Singapore, Mr. Lee had to artificially create hardships in his home environment. He shares a list of lessons that parents could teach their children to make them more resilient.
- Eat or go hungry. "When my kids refuse to eat what is being served at mealtimes, I'll tell my wife that we can pack the leftover food. Nothing until the next meal; no snacks in between. Then they will learn what hunger means."
- Pack their own bags. "I hope to send them to camps when they are young, without parental involvement. I know of parents here who worry about whether their kids have brought everything they need for camps. My take is, you can give your child a checklist. Let him pack. If he doesn't bring anything [that he needs later], let him learn the hard "
- Build things. "We build things together, whether it's a simple Lego set, or a model kitchen made of cardboard, or a piece of furniture from Ikea. The idea is to get them used to working with their hands and go through the trial and error process."
- Fix things. "When something is spoiled at home, like a clock, I will fix it with them. I will remove the screws, explain how it works, and get them to try putting it back together."
- Look out for others. "When our younger son goes for his English class, we will sit our elder son outside the classroom and tell him to wait for his little brother. We do this to teach him about being responsible for someone else. Also, it can be quite daunting for a 7-year-old to wait alone but he has to learn to overcome his anxieties."
- Take the lead when crossing the road. "When crossing the road with my 4-year-old kid I will say, 'Tell me when you think it's time to cross.' This trains them to be independent because we're not going to be there whenever they cross the road."
- Go outdoors and get dirty. "On weekends, we go to the Botanic Gardens, farms, and all the different parks. They do their skate-scooting, and we teach them cycling. We want them to run around and get used to a more rugged life."
- See the grittier side. "As the kids grow up, I want to bring them to see societies which may be underprivileged. We could always bring them to nice places that are good for the holidays, but I want them to be mindful of underprivileged people, and develop empathy for them."
- Gain work experience early. "I intend to find work opportunities for them when they are a little older – it could be at a hawker centre, where they can learn how to serve, or at a provision shop where they can learn how to handle money and convince people why they should buy something from them."
Mr. Lee believes that such an approach should be applied to their studies as well. He thinks that parents should be prepared to accept whatever results our children have as long as they have tried their best instead of sending them to top schools and hope they will come out on top. After all, when they grow up, parents will no longer be around to compensate for their failures with better schools.
"The question is whether or not they can learn to pick themselves up [after getting poor grades]. If they try and still fail, it could be that they're just not good in that subject. Our role then is to help them uncover their strengths."
As he says, "If they only suffer failure when they are adults, it will be far more difficult to handle."

Here's yet another tasty, simple recipe from Super Natural Every Day. We always have avocados on hand, and most of the time we just eat them smashed up with a little salt and spread on something. But this is a nice twist on the standard guacamole, and would be great with pita chips. We didn't have chips but smeared it on to a bit of whole grain tortilla. And I may have just eaten some with my fork.
Find the recipe for the oatcakes in Heidi's recipe sampler here.

Using lamp lighting ceiling fans as lighting fixtures for a room.
Ceiling Fan Lighting
A decade ago when you looked up to the ceiling and saw a fan, chances are the fan would have been mostly black, white or a different shade of the two colors. Fans back then were only used for cooling purposes and nothing more than this. However, now a fan is lot more than a 'device' used to provide you with just relief from soaring temperatures. Fans are actually being used to make statements of class and style, just like you would your clothes! With the turn of century people began to get more conscious about their interiors of their houses and wanted it to match up to their social standing in society. To meet the uprising need for designer house appliances and house decorating items, necessities like fans, lights and other essential appliances now look a lot better than they used to. Read on for valuable information on state-of-the-art ceiling fans that come with lights.
- Today, fans come in trendy designs to match different kinds of decorative ideas used in houses. Hence you don't have to stick to one kind of fan for every house. You can choose the kind of fan for the right kind of decor.
- You can choose a fan that complements the color of your room.
- Ceiling fans are not just there for cooler temperatures. Now, ceiling fans are available with lights on them and look very fancy and trendy. Your guests will be highly impressed when they walk into the room and find a fan with a bright or slightly dim light, you would too.
- Ceiling fans with lights are often bought to replace light fixtures. If you have a ceiling fan with a light attached to it you will not need a night lamp. It is better to choose a fan with a dim light attached to it so that it can be used as a replacement for your night lamp.
- These fans are available in numerous designs and shape and sizes that can be used to match the decor of the room.
- The structure of the fan depends on the manufacturers. Some of them are intricately carved blades that look exquisite, some finished in a way that makes them look more colonial than modern.
- India's colonial past can never be forgotten, in fact, the most desired and popular fan designs are the ones that revolve around Victorian themes.
- When you go to buy a ceiling fan with lights you will have an array of extensiveshades of colors to choose from. They come in conventional browns and blacks and also in bold and bright colors. Be careful while choosing the color, because the same will have to go with the rest of your room.
- You can choose the kind of lamp you want for your fan. You do not necessarily have to stick to conventional ones. Experiment with new designs and grace your house with a brand new look!
- While selecting lights for your fan ensure that the light is appropriate for the room. You require bright lighting in work areas like the kitchen and study. Dim lighting will do just fine in the bedroom and dining area.
- By installing a fan with lights, you can adjust the intensity of the light on the fan to suit your mood.
- Some fans come with remotes, not only to operate the fan, but to also operate the lights as well.
A lamp lighting ceiling fan that is tastefully designed can be a decorative addition to the room. While buying ceiling fans remember to buy the best, but also look at your pocket before you go in for anything in particular, because ceiling fans with lights can be very expensive.

The Bachelor is back, and season 25 will bring all the drama fans love. While things may look a little different thanks to the pandemic, the 32 ladies competing didn't let it phase them. And as for the bachelor himself? Well, Matt James is ready to meet the woman that could become his wife. For more details on the all-new season, keep reading below.
Who is Matt James?
1. Matt James was originally supposed to be a contestant on Clare Crawley's season of The Bachelorette, but filming got complicated due to COVID.
2. Instead, ABC cast him as the next Bachelor, making him the first Black male lead in the franchise.
3. According to ABC's profile on Matt, he's 28 years old and works as a real estate broker. His Instagram backs that up, as he writes that his work is with CBRE, one of the largest real estate investment firms.
4. Matt also co-founded ABC Food Tours, an organization that educates children about the food industry through guided tours.
5. They've teamed up with restaurateurs and establishments to sponsor children, give back to the community, and aide in the homelessness crisis.
6. Aside from Matt's giving heart, he also wants a woman to share his life with, which is what he hopes to achieve during his journey on The Bachelor. "Love for me is about the heart, and the way that I view life: everything is a blessing" he said in a voiceover for an ABC promo.
7. In a sneak peek, you'll see that Matt's journey isn't all butterflies and rainbows. He has to make some tough choices, like who to give his first (impression) rose to.
8. If you're wondering about the cabin-like backdrop, they filmed this season at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Pennsylvania. Chris Harrison told ET that it's "the [same] blue print and the formula we used to shoot Clare's season."
9. Another fun fact about Matt? He's friends with former Bachelorette contestant Tyler Cameron. The two have been featured on each other's Instagram profiles, and, get this: Tyler even stopped by The Bachelor set!
In a YouTube video Tyler shared that he "just got back from Nemacolin" after seeing Matt, and he's "so excited" for everyone to see the new season.
10. Tyler also reported that Matt thinks highly of the girls, and is "pushing himself to be vulnerable" so that viewers will see "the real Matt."
More about The Bachelor contestants
There's a whopping 32 ladies that are competing for Matt James' affections, and fans are applauding its diversity. The women range in age from 21 to 32, and come from all over the US (and Canada).
Standouts amongst the group include 27-year-old "queen" Victoria; single mom and nursing student Amber; 21-year-old NYC socialite Kit, whose mother is fashion designer Cynthia Rowley; not to mention runway model Chelsea, or Miss USA Top 10 finalist Mari.
You can "meet" them by going to The Bachelor's official Instagram page, and clicking on the first story highlight to get even more fun facts about the girls. Also on their IG profile? A contestant collage featuring all the women, which you can see below:
At the end of night one, however, only 24 of those 32 ladies will continue on in the competition, according to ABC's official press release. Fans can expect to see Matt be in love for the first time, and he'll follow through no matter what the consequences. The women won't make it any easier for him to choose though – their arrivals in the season premiere make that crystal clear.
One will arrive in a robe and ask Matt to help her choose her outfit for the night, a different woman will be driven in a gold Bentley, while another will be carried in on a thrown. You can see a sneak peek at some of the women's entrances below:
So, which one of them will catch his eye? Capture his heart? Tune in to season 25 of The Bachelor on Jan. 4 at 8/7 c on ABC to find out!

Can't be, but Harry Styles can do a cameo in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. All are in frenzy as fan Styles' potential guest, and while it has not been officially confirmed, Mark Hamill indicated this in a tweet that is very promising.
Spoiler: Contains the hashtag #Stylestrooper.
It is basically a tradition of cameos as "secret Stormtroopers" for Star Wars films of big British celebrities. In the past, Prince Harry, Prince William, Tom Hardy, and Daniel Craig have all donated the Stormtrooper costume for the Undercover Cameo.
According to a tweet by Mark Hamill, Harry Styles may be next. "Tonight's #TheRiseOfSkywalker premiere finally brings closeness to my grieving family!" Mark wrote.
"Wonder who will be the #SecretStormtooper in it? Given that they are all UK superstars (2 royals + 2 actors), but still no singers, all the clues point in one direction: #Stylestrooper".
People apparently shied away at the possibility – Hemill had also produced a photo of Styles.
A Stormtrooper costume, which he technically wore to a party on Halloween, but was probably in the role of a lifetime. Preparing too? Most fans in the US will have to wait until Friday, December 20 to find out about them.
Hamill asked fans who went to the early premiere and would not spread the beans to everyone. The first public screening of #TheRiseOfSkywalker took place in Los Angeles tonight.
"I know I can't stop you from writing about this on social media, but I can request you to please, please, avoid any SPOILERS! I Am thankful to all of you in advance" he wrote.
We probably don't need to tell you that fans are pointing out the possibility of #Stylestrooper being real.
What if am listening to Harry Styles is gearing up as a stormtrooper for Cassie's party as he is going to do a cameo in the upcoming Star Wars movie? He always abandoned the stuff!

A Two Factor Authentication Makeover for your Protection
You don't want to that happen. In a serious cyberattack that I described in "Account Recovery May be the Weakest Link," a person saw his Twitter and email accounts hijacked, and his reputation sabotaged. In other incidents, people have seen their life savings wired out of bank accounts.
If, however, you have the audacity to hope there's something to do other than just hope, try two factor authentication (2FA). It might give you an additional measure of safety and recoverability. And its available for free from some of the most important services you use online.
Per Wikipedia, "A one-time password (OTP) is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction. OTPs avoid a number of shortcomings that are associated with traditional (static) passwords. The most important shortcoming that is addressed by OTPs is that, in contrast to static passwords, they are not vulnerable to replay attacks. This means that a potential intruder who manages to record an OTP that was already used to log into a service or to conduct a transaction will not be able to abuse it, since it will be no longer valid."
OTP using two devices (or a hardware token such as the RSA SecurID or Verisign VIP Security Token) also helps prevent a hacker from remotely controlling your computer and logging into protected accounts when you're not actually there. So, turn on the two factor, log in securely, and when you're done working, log off and say goodbye to any ghosts of potential malware resident on that computer. To get you when you're not already on, the hacker would also have to compromise your second device with the codes.
Two factor authentication with OTP technology is now conveniently available from many of the major vendors that we use, such as Apple, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft and Twitter listed in the table below. There are also enterprise products from vendors such as Microsft, RSA, Vasco, Verizon and VeriSign that provide 2FA to corporate employees. When an organization is also going through the throes of trying to manage the risk of a bring your own device (BYOD) environment, device-independent OTP solutions really shine compared with smart cards or any other technology that's tightly coupled to specific device operating systems.
Verify new device
Two factor login
Support link
Here's what to consider as you're deciding whether its worth the trouble to turn on 2FA with one of these systems and how to proceed.
- Functionality: As indicated in the table above, some services only invoke the two factor verification when you try to login with a new device. Others require, or give you the option, to put in the OTP code with every login. Some work only with individuals' services, such as a Twitter account, others work with apps such as third party email clients. Some send you the code over SMS, others send it to an app or even in a voice call. Some, such as Microsoft and Google, can provide the service to organizational administrators for all their users as well as to individuals. All these options affect the availability of the service, for example, when you're phone's out of its coverage area or the battery's drained.
- Mobile: Make sure the service's 2FA works with your mobile apps or browser. In some cases, services offering 2FA don't support access from mobile devices or mobile apps. A few months ago, for example, I found myself unable to log in with the LinkedIn iPhone app because it appeared not to work with LinkedIn's own 2FA. Today, however, I updated the LinkedIn app and was able to log in with the code. I was also able to log in with the latest Twitter app which didn't even ask for the code.
- Risk: What are you protecting? Many of the services in the table above are key to your reputation. Some of them may host your email, others may constitute your email recovery account or be used for social login. A hacker with access to Apple or Microsoft accounts may even be capable of remotely wiping out your hard drive. Look at how you use each service to determine how much risk is aggregated there for you. That should determine whether you turn on 2FA and whether you decide to enable new device verification, verification of every single login or both.
- Recovery: The downside to 2FA using your phone is this: lose it and you could be cut off. That's one reason why some of the vendors only use 2FA for verifying new devices; supporting it for every login is much more work. The vendor's offer various recovery options, such as providing you with one time "recovery keys" to write down and store in a safe place.
Bottom line – my most important recommendation in this post is to turn on two factor if your risk warrants it. Do this not only for your email accounts but also for cloud storage systems, such as Dropbox, used across multiple devices. My second most important recommendation is to read the vendors' support documentation very carefully, particularly concerning recovery. Make sure you understand how availability may be affected and how you're going to recover from loss of the phone before you turn two factor on.
Homework assignment: Turn on the two factor for all of the systems you use in the above table (or similar systems) and print out all recovery information and lock it in the files. If you've already done this for some of them, verify that you can still find your recovery information. Should only take about an hour. You have to do this systematically to get the full benefit without some potential downside.
Extra credit: Make a habit of clearing out potentially-stale authentication state information periodically. Delete the cookies in your browser that these services use to remember your devices and also delete server-side information such as Google 2 step verification application-specific passwords. This will flush out potentially-dangerous stale credentials and also enable you to verify your security configurations are working. Make sure you have a bit of spare time and have your phone and recovery information close at hand before trying this at home.

Members of the Socialists and Democrats group in the European Parliament have identified Alenka Bratušek of Slovenia as the weak link among the nominees for the European Commission.
Much of the criticism of the prospective college of commissioners has involved the nominees from Spain and Hungary, but centre-left MEPs are said to be planning to let other groups criticise those two during the hearings while they focus on Bratušek, according to Parliament sources.
Miguel Arias Cañete, Spain's nominee, has come under attack for making sexist comments in the Parliament election campaign. Juncker's decision to give Cañete the climate and energy portfolio has come under fire from environmentalists and the left because of his ties to the oil industry. Hungary's nominee, Tibor Navracsics, is also expected to face tough questioning because he comes from the Fidesz party, which has been accused of running an semi-authoritarian regime in Hungary.
Both Cañete and Navracsics are from the centre-right European People's Party group, which is part of the 'grand coalition' with the S&D. According to Parliament sources, S&D MEPs will let Green MEPs go after Cañete in his hearing and let far-left MEPs criticise Navracsics. Although centre-left MEPs may still be critical of the nominees from Spain and Hungary, they will vote in favour of both.
Instead, the centre-left plans to turn its attention to Bratušek. She is a member of the liberal ALDE group, so voting against her would not upset the EPP-S&D coalition. Centre-left MEPs may vote against her nomination. It is not clear if EPP MEPs will follow suit.
Juncker's decision to appoint Bratušek as vice-president for energy union, in charge of a team of seven commissioners, has drawn criticism because of her inexperience. She served as prime minister for about a year.
Bratušek's nomination was controversial. She nominated herself as commissioner in July, after her party had been defeated in a general election. The move is the subject of an ongoing inquiry. Many high-profile Slovenian politicians have criticised the move, including Janez Potočnik, the country's current European commissioner, and former prime minister Janez Janša.
The new centre-left government in Slovenia, part of the S&D group, wants to replace Bratušek with MEP Tanja Fajon, who was on a shortlist of names submitted to Juncker. But it is too late for the government to rescind Bratušek's nomination, and it cannot block the college as a whole in the Council of Ministers as the vote on approval is by qualified majority.
Group leaders have been meeting this week to determine which committees will question which nominees at confirmation hearings scheduled to begin on 29 September. They have yet to reach agreement, partly because the new 'project team' arrangement in the Commission means many committees want to question the vice-presidents. The Parliament's group leaders and committee chairs will meet early next week in Strasbourg to try to find a solution.

Democrats are giddy over the prospect of President Obama replacing conservative Justice Antonin Scalia with a liberal.
But Republicans are equally adamant about blocking Obama's lame-duck appointment. "This vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president," says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
It's rare that a president makes a Supreme Court appointment during his last months in office. But timing's not the critical issue. The real outrage is the Democrats' baseless claim that Obama's promised nominee should get an E-ZPass onto the bench.
Party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz urges that Senate confirmation move quickly, "as our founders intended," and not be "twisted by politics."
Hillary Clinton says any obstruction would "dishonor our Constitution." Sorry Hillary and Debbie, that's not what the Constitution says.
Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders also insists it would be wrong to delay Obama's court pick for "overtly political reasons."
All these politicians need a history lesson. Claiming the Senate's duty is to rubber stamp any "qualified" nominee is pure fiction.
Even George Washington had to endure the Senate rejecting one of his Supreme Court nominees — John Rutledge — in 1795 because of Rutledge's controversial opposition to a treaty with Great Britain. Overtly political.
Fifteen years later, the Senate nixed President James Madison's nominee Alexander Wolcott for his zealous enforcement of unpopular trade restrictions. Clearly political.
President Ulysses S. Grant's nominee –Ebenezer Hoar — was rejected by the Senate in 1869 for supporting civil service reform. Again, political.
And those are just a few examples.
More recently, the vicious tactics Senate Democrats used to defeat President Ronald Reagan's nominee, Robert Bork, in 1987 gave rise to a new verb — "borking." Bork, a Yale law school professor, was eminently qualified. But like Scalia, he interpreted the Constitution according to the founders' original intent. Democrats saw that allowing Bork to replace the retiring moderate Justice Lewis F. Powell would tip the Court rightward.
Then-Senator Joe Biden argued Democrats had a duty to probe Bork's views — not just his qualifications — because of Reagan's "determined attempt to bend the Supreme Court to his political ends."
Biden and Patrick Leahy, top Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, grilled Bork relentlessly and after the abusive spectacle, the Senate's Democratic majority rejected him.
In 2007, New York Senator Chuck Schumer called on his Democratic colleagues to vote against any nominees proposed by George W. Bush, because Schumer feared the court was moving to the right. He said, "We should reverse the presumption of confirmation."
Fast forward to 2016, and Schumer, Biden and Leahy have had a change of heart. They say Obama's nominee should be speedily confirmed without regard to politics. In Leahy's words, the Supreme Court is "too important to our democracy to be understaffed for partisan reasons." Hypocritical nonsense.
The danger is that some GOP Senators actually buy that baloney. When Obama nominated radical judicial activists Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, Lindsey Graham, R. S.C., voted for them, saying the Senate should defer to the president on Court nominees.
On Sunday, Graham pledged that "if Hillary Clinton wins the White House and she puts a liberal who's well-qualified, I'll vote for them."
As if Senatorial courtesy trumps the survival of freedom.
The court, currently divided 4-4, is on the brink of an activist majority. An activist court will — for starters — perpetuate racial preferences, uphold amnesty for illegals, and concoct new "rights" as fast as they eviscerate conscience rights and the rest of our written Constitution.
If Obama replaces Scalia, it will be his third appointment to the court. What's to stop Justices Ginsburg or Breyer from retiring this fall, making way for a fourth or even fifth Obama appointment? That could reshape the Court for 40 years.
That's why McConnell has no choice but to hold the line until 2017, hoping for a conservative president. The stakes couldn't be higher.

BARCO Introduces Portable Polysilicon LCD Projection System
BarcoGraphics 4000 is BARCO's new high performance entry-level polysilicon LCD projection system
BARCO, a leading manufacturer of video and graphics display technology, has introduced its first portable LCD projector for presentation applications: the BarcoGraphics 4000. High brightness, extreme ease-of-use and outstanding reliability are just three of the features, that make this projector ideal for dynamic visual presentations.
Thanks to an efficient lamp design, the BarcoGraphics 4000 delivers a high light output of 2,200 ANSI lumen. At the heart of this projector is a unique dual lamp system with two 160 Watt UHM lamps. This technology delivers the power of two high-intensity light sources through a high precision prism, and it adds an improved light integrator system. "This dual lamp system combines unsurpassed brightness with outstanding reliability," said Johan Stockman, Product Group Manager for BARCO's Corporate Product Group. "By maximizing light efficiency, this system assures the perfect brightness in all lighting conditions. Operation in single lamp mode doubles the aggregate lamp life of the projector to 4000 hours, which increases the reliability of the system."
Featuring ultra-high aperture ratio 1.3" XGA-poly-silicon LCD panels with Micro Lens Arrays (MLA), the BarcoGraphics 4000 displays all sources from VHS video to the latest HDTV formats to high-resolution workstations with resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 pixels. An Intelligent Image Resizing system assures smooth outlines and outstanding picture definition with all types of images.
The BarcoGraphics 4000 is equipped with a gamma correction circuitry that optimizes the non-linear imaging characteristics of the panels. This circuitry delivers naturally vibrant colors with smooth shading and image gradation. A three-dimensional adaptive comb filter results in a crisper, clearer image.
The BarcoGraphics 4000 is equipped with an easy-to-replace motorized zoom/focus lens ranging between 2.3 and 2.8 times the screen width. Using this lens, the projector features a great horizontal and vertical adjustment range without resulting in image distortion.
The BarcoGraphics 4000 comes with the Auto Image feature, which automatically identifies the signal mode of the input source and optimizes all display settings. In addition, this projector allows the user to zoom in on a particular part of an image for a clear, close-up view - a big advantage with finely detailed graphics and spreadsheets with small characters. The Picture-in-Picture function enables the display of video or S-Video images in a sub-window within an image projected from a computer. For even higher light output, two units can be double stacked using a specially developed stacking frame. A backlit infrared remote control with mouse control provides instant access to set-up functions such as: motorized zoom and focus, contrast and brightness, etc.
These features make the BarcoGraphics 4000 a powerful presentation solution for portable and fixed presentation applications in boardrooms, training and education centers, demo rooms, etc. The BarcoGraphics 4000 is available now at a suggested list price of $12,995.
BARCO Background

Australia have done their homework on all the India players and are prepared to take on the newcomers in the Ajinkya Rahane-led side for the second Test that begins here at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, said Aussie skipper Tim Paine.
Paine says the Australians are well aware of the danger posed by the likes of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul who could come into the Indian side as replacements for the Boxing Day Test.
Australia won the first Test by eight wickets after bowling out India for 36 in the second innings. India will be led by Rahane in Melbourne after regular skipper Virat Kohli returned home to attend the birth of his child.
"We know that some of the players coming into their side like KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are dangerous players and will play positively. If we give those guys an inch, they will take a mile. So we have to be bang on the mark as we were in Adelaide and be prepared tomorrow for another 5-day battle. We know we won the first Test well but it was only on stumps on day two we were in a serious fight to win that Test. So that is the attitude we are taking to this Test match," Paine told reporters on Friday, the eve of the second Test match.
He added that the hosts had done all the homework on the Indian players prior to the series.
"Before the series we went through all of their players, strengths and weaknesses and identified some areas where we can attack their batters and vice versa for their bowlers where we think we can score and who we think matches up against them. So all of that stuff has been done pre-series. We just had a quick refresher yesterday before training on that. Again our focus on this Test match has been controlling what we can control and executing our skills," said Paine.
"We have worked on who we think might play and what their side might look like and having a few plans and ideas around some of those new players, yeah we have got a little bit of time into some players that might come into their side," added Paine.
The Australians are also guarding against complacency, something that saw them lose the fifth and final Ashes Test against England in 2019 at the Oval and return home with a drawn series even though they had retained the Ashes before that. The Aussies were leading 2-1 going into that final Test and looked good to seal the series 3-1 after bowling England out for under 300 in the first innings. But the English hit back to win and draw the series. Paine feels memories of that Test are still fresh in his mind.
"We can't play again to mental scars or whatever people are talking about. We know India is a proud cricket country. They are an extremely talented Test match side with lots of dangerous players. At the moment we can't take our foot off the pedal and think we are going alright. We saw in England in the fifth Test that we can come unstuck pretty quickly. A huge focus after that fifth Test has been winning after winning and our attitude towards the next game and the last week we have been, has been fantastic in the way we have prepared for this game," said the Australia skipper.
Paine also said that the focus will be to start well and win the second Test to make the third and the fourth Test a real battle for the Indians.
"…We spoke about it why it is important for us tomorrow to turn up with the attitude that we turned up for the first Test. We know we are not going to roll over, we have to work our backsides to get them in a position like we did in Adelaide and if we do that again, then Tests three & four can become a real battle for them. First we have to start well tomorrow and put them under the pump," he said.

Lighting and Cell Phone Photography
LIGHTING AND CELL PHONE PHOTOGRAPHY I may be a professional photographer, but there are times when taking my big DSLR camera into the field just doesn't make sense for various reasons. Creating good cell phone photography is not difficult if you know some basic photography knowledge. There are a lot of factors that go into creating a pleasing image, but in my opinion, lighting is the most important element, which is why I am taking some time to focus on that here. I like to concentrate on cell phones because they are very easy to use and almost everyone has one available at all times. Add these tips related to lighting, and you'll be well on your way to frame-worthy images you'll be proud to display. UTILIZE NATURAL LIGHT ONLY :: I am purely a natural light photographer. In my opinion, there is nothing that compares to the quality of light found outdoors! This is especially important for cell phone images as artificial lighting casts a yellow or bluish color tone that is difficult (and time consuming) to correct in post- production with a cell phone. Natural light is a clean light that offers a range of image styles based on additional factors; which leads me to the next point…
TIME OF DAY :: The best lighting happens the 60 minutes immediately after sunrise and the 60 minutes directly before sunset. This is referred to as "golden hour". The light is typically a very flattering color for skin tone; creating a soft glow. Not to mention the backdrop to your photo is going to be beautiful with all the colors that happen in the sky at this time! Trust me when I tell you it is worth waking up early for; if you are a hunter then you already know how beautiful the world is as it wakes up and goes to sleep!
SITE SELECTION :: I love a good, overcast day. Cloudy days create the perfect light for outdoor photography. Not a cloud in the sky? Then head for some shade. Harsh and bright mid day light creates nasty shadows under eyes and overall a complicated contrast that tends to look cheap in photo. Be careful in the spring and summer, however, when there are green leaves and green grass as they can reflect a yellow-green tint on the skin that can be difficult to correct in post-production. No shade in sight? That brings us to my next tip…
ANGLE OF SUBJECT :: You can position your subject at various angles to capture different emotions with light. Facing your subject perpendicular to the light source adds more contrast and depth to the subject; often referred to as modeling light. This type of lighting effect is particularly interesting in black and white, but works well for color too. Facing your subject directly towards the light creates a very flat, and somewhat uninteresting, lighting effect. I like to utilize this lighting effect when the subject has their eyes closed to avoid squinting and I want the light to flood the face for effect. Facing your subject away from the light source will often create more of a silhouette with little detail on the subject. This lighting effect can create interesting art-style images.
Grasping these techniques may seem overwhelming at first. Practice these tips next time you are enjoying the outdoors! Mastering lighting will be a game changer for your Instagram feed. No amount of editing will make cell phone photos look professional if type of lighting is not accounted for.
Tammy is a professional outdoor lifestyle photographer, based in South Dakota, shooting in natural light only. All images shown in this blog were created using an iPhone 5s. Stay tuned for more tips on creating high quality cell phone images! While nothing beats a professional DSLR camera, there are so many things you can do to have more confidence in the field with your cell phone to capture memories!

This is a simple car project, primarily design to test out a few things (including the xbox controller, usb shield, and FPV googles). Apart from those, the car is made from things I had around the workshop (hence the unnecessarily large h-bridge board).
The car is driven using tank-style controls (two motors which rotate in opposite directions to turn the car) and the Arduino code maps the Xbox joystick inputs into something appropriate for the motors.
The FPV camera mounted on the front of the car sends composite video over a video balun line (so no coax) to the Fat Shark googles. The driver "sits" in the car to drive.

The Wolf Administration announced today that preliminary construction will begin in February on a project to stabilize, restore and improve flood-damaged sections of Balligomingo Road in West Conshohocken.
From the press release:
Balligomingo Road has been closed to thru traffic since June 2015 due to slope failure areas encroaching approximately 200 feet of the roadway between Portland Road and the Interstate 476 overpass. Under this project, PennDOT's contractor will stabilize the failure areas by installing rock protection and a retaining wall; install new drainage systems to properly carry roadside and slope runoff to nearby Gulph Creek; and mill and pave Balligomingo Road.
"These projects will address the current slope failure areas and restore the roadways to a safe condition for use by the public and emergency services," Governor Tom Wolf said.
Wolf's quote utilized "these" because the Balligomingo project is one of three he announced that involved that slope failure.
The work is projected to be completed in the spring of 2020.

Raheem Mostert Could Have Signed a Professional Surfing Contract Instead of Playing in the NFL
If you followed the San Francisco 49ers run to the Super Bowl, you probably noticed Raheem Mostert. The running back proved to be a force down the stretch and during the postseason, helping his club come within touching distance of the Lombardi Trophy. On the back of that success, he's looking for a new contract or, since that doesn't seem to be forthcoming, a trade.
Long before he became an NFL player, though, Mostert almost signed a different sort of contract. During his teenage years in Florida, he could have inked a deal to become a professional surfer.
Raheem Mostert's career on the gridiron
If you only watched the tail end of the 2019 NFL campaign, you might assume that Raheem Mostert was an established star. In reality, though, the running back struggled to find any success before landing in San Francisco.
During high school, Mostert lined up as a receiver and made a name for himself with his blazing speed; unsurprisingly, he also starred on the track team. He showed enough potential to earn a scholarship to Purdue, where he continued to strut his stuff.
In addition to success as a sprinter, Mostert spent four years on the football team. He primarily acted as a return man, piling up more than 2,000 special teams yards during his college career, but also saw some limited action as a running back.
That career wasn't enough to land Mostert an NFL job, though. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2015, but failed to make the active roster; he also spent time with the Browns, Ravens, and Dolphins that season, bouncing between the practice squad and the waiver wire. He started the following campaign with the Bears, but was released and landed with the San Francisco 49ers. He's been in the Bay Area ever since, primarily serving as a special teams player until seizing the spotlight in 2019.
Passing up a potential surfing contract
Given their overall athletic talent, it's not surprising that plenty of pro athletes played a variety of sports growing up. Raheem Mostert, however, wasn't content with the ordinary options of peewee football and little league baseball.
As a native of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, Mostert spent plenty of time surfing and skateboarding. While he didn't participate in any organized competitions, he apparently showed enough talent to earn a contract from Billabong during his teenage years.
"I'd be out there surfing or skateboarding on my own, not really trying to make a scene or anything," Mostert told Matt Barrows of The Athletic. "And this guy came up to me and wanted to offer me a contract. He was intrigued, basically."
While he didn't sign the deal—Mostert had his heart set on football—those formative experiences still help him on the gridiron.
"You're in a wave, and at that moment, you want to make a decision whether you want to do a trick — flare up, do a nice trick and land — or just ride the wave out," the running back explained. "That's the same thing with football: there are a lot of different angles. Sometimes, you have to split two defenders. Sometimes, you don't want to go out of bounds because you can get an extra three or four yards. So you plant a foot and head up field."
Raheem Mostert is looking for a new NFL contract
Years ago, Raheem Mostert passed up a surfing contract to chase his dream of playing professional football. Now that he's had his breakout NFL season, however, he's after a new contract.
On Wednesday, Mostert's agent, Brett Tessler, tweeted that his client wanted a trade. Tessler and Mostert had apparently been pushing for a new contract—the 49ers signed Mostert as a special teams player and, consequently, were paying him less than $3 million per season—but hadn't been able to make any progress.
On the surface, however, it's tough to take too much issue with either party. Mostert had a career year and, given his previous experience bouncing between practice squads, is entitled to make as much money as he can while his stock is high. At the same time, it's reasonable for the 49er to be a bit skeptical; Mostert doesn't have much of a track record at running back, and Kyle Shanahan may believe his success was a product of the San Francisco system.
During his youth, Raheem Mostert turned down a lucrative contract to chase his dreams. He'll be hoping that this trade demand leads to similar success.

As with many other supplements you often must look to the span style="font-style: italic;"absence/span of illness or negative symptoms in order to see the benefits of usage. Seeing as how all of us have gone through a (so far) successful training season with zero illness we take it as a sign that regular vitamin supplementation with PICs are a good choice.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Recoverite: /spanIt's no secret that recovery is the key to successful training. The MOD Project athletes have experimented with several products over the past few seasons, seeking that one ideal solution which maximizes training effects while preparing you for the next session. Our research into these topics revealed that the amino acid span style="font-weight: bold;"glutamine/span is a huge aid in repairing damaged muscle tissue as well as boosting immune system efficiency when your body is weakened from tough sessions. Recoverite combines that with protein and complex carbs and gives you a glassful of power to beat any barbell-pounding beefcake's muscle shake, no problem.br /br /Check out Hammer's website for more products and information: www.hammernutrition.com.br /br /To purchase Hammer products locally in the Methow Valley, check out Winthrop Mountain Sports in downtown Winthrop. span style="font-style: italic;"span style="font-weight: bold;"span style="font-style: italic;"span style="font-style: italic;"/span/span/span/spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1′ height='1′ src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2910103639238326543-1437946723088859526?l=methowolympicdevelopment.blogspot.com' alt=" //div

Earlier this week, we asked you several questions pertaining to the Michigan Wolverines' basketball team, and after more than 500 people responded, the results are in!
The majority of Michigan fans (72% to be exact) said sophomore center Hunter Dickinson is the team's MVP this season. Eli Brooks had 19% of the other votes, while DeVante' Jones had 7% and Caleb Houstan had 1%.
The overwhelming majority of respondents (96%) said Michigan will make the NCAA Tournament. As far as how far the Wolverines end up going, 44% said they will make it to the Round of 32 and then be eliminated. Interestingly, more people (34%) think Michigan will be eliminated in the Sweet 16 than the Round of 64 (12%). The other respondents went with the Elite Eight (5%) and the First Four (2%).
But let's not get too ahead of ourselves, as the Big Ten Tournament begins today for the Wolverines. Most fans (60%) believe Michigan will be eliminated in its second game, which would be against Illinois. Another 25% of fans believe Michigan will make it to the semifinals, while 5% think the Wolverines won't even make it out of the first round. The other 10% is evenly split between them winning the Big Ten Tournament and them making it to the finals but losing.
Which way did you vote in this poll? Let us know down in the comments, and thanks for your support and participating!

Northwest Division Offensive Coordinator of The Year: La Salle HC/OC Russell Gordon
Gordon was a late arrival to our discussion, we actually were close to a consensus on someone else until his name was introduced and we were clear that he was masterminding the Lancers offense.

Farrar had been to the CIF finals four previous times as a head coach and each time came away on the short end. Following a very short retirement, weeks in length, he returned to the Rangers program as the defensive coordinator and oversaw a unit that would lead the way to the first title in […]
