Once upon a time, every Mugello press release started with the same words: "Nestled in the Tuscan hills, Mugello is the jewel in the crown of MotoGP race tracks."
After a few years, that cliche became too much even for the writers of press releases. And yet the basic statements in those press releases are as true today as they ever were. There is, after all, a reason cliches come about.
For Mugello is arguably the most beautiful race track on the MotoGP calendar. The circuit is wedged in a valley, the track snaking its way around one side up towards the head, then off along the other side, and down toward the dip between the Arrabbiatas, and the track entrance.
It is set against a backdrop of steep Tuscan hills, covered in a mixture of woodland and pasture. It is a bucolic setting for one of the greatest race tracks in the world.
What makes it truly great, of course, is the fact that it is large enough for the MotoGP machines to stretch their legs. The official top speed recorded at the track is 356.5 km/h last year, but the speed trap is at a point where the bikes are starting to brake.
Dorna don't like people to talk about just how fast the bikes really go at Mugello, and Brembo are said to be reluctant to state the real speeds reached. There is good reason to believe they are hitting around 360 km/h already, and it could easily be even faster.
Racing, Reflected
On the one hand, this is exactly what motorcycle racing is supposed to be all about. A measure of the ingenuity of engineers to squeeze every last drop of performance out of the machines they build. And a measure of the courage of the riders, to keep the throttle pinned while threading the needle of the fast kinks along Mugello's massive front straight.
But on the other hand, the response of the engineers and riders to the challenge posed by Mugello is verging on becoming a threat to the circuit itself.
As the engines breach the 300 bhp barrier, and the aerodynamics help them get out of the final corner better than before, speeds inevitably creep up further, making that fast kink at exit of pit lane even narrower, the brow of the hill even trickier, and the room for error even smaller.
For as glorious as Mugello is, it is rapidly running out of room. The wall on the left-hand side of the front straight is too close, as, among others, both Shinya Nakano and Marc Márquez can attest. Run off at San Donato is adequate, but the question is for how much longer.
The tarmac and gravel have been modified at various points around the track by Jarno Zafelli's Dromo Studios circuit design agency, to make the runoff safer, but at Poggio Seco and Borgo San Lorenzo, the barriers are very close, and difficult to move back without removing half of the hillside.
A Challenge at Every Corner
Like Phillip Island, it is unthinkable that Mugello would be removed from the calendar, despite the safety shortcomings. The track is simply too good, the riders willing to turn a blind eye to the dangers for the chance to take on a circuit which is so perfectly suited to motorcycle racing.
It has the long straight taken flat out, with the added challenge of a kink at the end – which is transformed almost to a knee-down corner at 360 km/h – and then the brow of a hill placed just about where riders normally start braking.
At the end of the straight is the long San Donato corner, which is big and wide enough that if you get passed on the way into the corner, you can still try to cut back on the exit and get the place back. The track then goes through a series of left-right combinations, which offer both the chance to attack and a place to defend, or counterattack if your rivals get past.
Climbing up the hill through Luco – Poggio Seco, and Materassi – Borgo San Lorenzo, you then sweep back down again through the viciously fast right-left of Casanova – Savelli.
It is easy to get carried away through here, washing out the front as you find yourself carrying a little more speed than intended as gravity gives you a helping hand.
Then come the two Arrabbiatas, long right handers which demand patience from the rider, though it is all too easy to get carried away in the so-called "enraged" turns.
Tempting You to Fail
Another right-left combo follows, the Scarperia – Palagio pairing another ideal passing place. Then another treacherous turn, the long right of Correntaio, a sweeping corner which runs down hill, and tempts you into asking a little too much of the front tire. Ignominy awaits if you succumb to temptation, falling in front of the packed Ducati grandstand, to be jeered either because you weren't on a Ducati when you crashed, or because you were.
There is one more nasty combination to navigate, the fast left-right flick of the Biondettis. On a chilly Saturday morning in 2010, Valentino Rossi got caught out by a cold tire, and ended up breaking his leg, effectively ending his title challenge, and forcing the Italian to miss a race for the first time in his career.
And then the final corner, Bucine, still dropping down hill, another long left hander. The drive out of this turn can make or break your race, as Marc Márquez found to his detriment in 2016, when he just lost out to Jorge Lorenzo, who got better drive onto the straight and out-accelerated the Repsol Honda rider.
In Moto3, this is the corner where you can lose your race: lead out of Bucine, and you will be swamped by the horde who sit in your slipstream and draft you to the line. In MotoGP, you don't have to fear the slipstream, but you do have to hook up the rear tire perfectly, and have more grip and more acceleration than anyone who might be near you. If not, you are lost.
Born to Ride at Mugello
Acceleration, mechanical grip out of corners, maximum speed, optimized use of aerodynamics: all that spells Ducati.
And Ducatis have won here for the last two years, with Andrea Dovizioso becoming the first Italian to win the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello on an Italian bike in the premier class in 2017, and then in 2018, Jorge Lorenzo getting the final piece of the tank ergonomics update which made him pretty much invincible at the Italian circuit.
Ironically, it came the week after Ducati made it clear they would not be renewing his contract for 2019.
Even before that, the Ducati was good. Andrea Iannone finished on the podium here in 2015 and 2016. In 2017 and 2018, there were two Ducatis on the podium, Danilo Petrucci taking his first dry podium in 2017, and Dovizioso finishing second behind teammate Lorenzo in 2018.
What can Ducati do in 2019? The pressure is on Andrea Dovizioso to win at Mugello. Pressure from all directions: from Ducati, to win at their home circuit, and the track which is the proving ground for the Desmosedici race bike. From the fans, who come to Mugello to see an Italian win, their worst fears being having another Spaniard on the top step.
Time to Step Up
But above all, from himself: if Andrea Dovizioso has any ambitions of winning the championship this year, then he has to win at the tracks where he is strongest.
First of all, he needs to at least finish ahead of Marc Márquez at Mugello, and start to claw back some points from his main rival for the title. Even better would be to win, and try to keep as many bikes between him and Márquez to maximize the points difference.
Dovizioso should get plenty of help in the department. Mugello has historically been a strong track for Danilo Petrucci, a place where he has consistently outperformed expectations. He has a podium on a satellite Pramac bike, and had the potential to do well last year, if he hadn't been run off track early in the race.
Mugello and Barcelona will be key to Ducati's decision on who gets the second seat alongside Andrea Dovizioso in 2020, and a good result – in practice, a podium or better – will go a long way to securing that seat for Petrucci.
That Ducati are keen to do something special at Mugello is borne out by the fact that they are bringing a performance update for their home race. Ducati management has been tight lipped about what exactly the updates are, but as the engines are sealed, it is likely either a new chassis or an aerodynamic update.
Given that going faster with more acceleration is key at Mugello, it is hard to see how it could not be a new aero package. But we will have to wait until Friday morning before we will know for sure.
Clean Sweep?
Ideally, Ducati will want to have three GP19s on the podium, and given how well Jack Miller has been riding recently, that is a realistic possibility. The Australian comes off a podium in Austin and a strong fourth place at Le Mans, and has made a step in his management of tires and the race so far this year.
Like Petrucci, Miller has his eyes set on the second factory Ducati seat, and so he too needs a podium at Mugello. He will have to put into practice the lessons learned behind Andrea Dovizioso at Le Mans, and try to extract everything he can from his Ducati GP19.
Mugello will be important for Pecco Bagnaia too. The Italian faces his first home Grand Prix as a MotoGP rider. All Italian riders face extra pressure when riding at home, but the step up from Moto2 to MotoGP always comes as a shock.
He also has to start improving his results. After a decent start at Qatar – a difficult race followed by a strong practice – Bagnaia's results have gone backwards. He has made progress, cutting the gap to the leaders, but now he needs to put it all together in a race.
The Bad Place
For Marc Márquez, his priority will be damage limitation – though for Márquez, damage limitation can also include actually winning the race. He comes to Mugello better armed to face the massed onslaught of the Ducatis, the Honda RC213V now at least as fast as the Desmosedici GP19, but that advance has come at a price.
The bike may be faster, but it has lost some of the front-end feel which made it almost invincible on corner entry. That has already cost him once this year, crashing out of the race in Austin. Mugello has a lot of sweeping, downhill, slightly off-camber corners which can catch out the unwary, or the ambitious.
A fact Marc Márquez is all too aware of. He crashed out of his first MotoGP race at Mugello in 2013, washing out the front at Savelli. He crashed again in 2015, pushing the front too hard at Poggio Seco. Last year, he washed out the front at Scarperia, another of those deceptive downhill turns. He almost caught it and rejoined the race, but still. Of his six visits to Mugello, half have ended in crashes. He has won here only once.
So if Márquez has a bogey track, it is Mugello. The Repsol Honda rider grows more level-headed as he gets older, and knows he must score points if he is to keep his title bid on track. He should be wary, and treat the race with caution. But a leopard cannot easily change its spots.
Turnaround Imminent?
If Mugello is a bad track for Marc Márquez, it is one of the best for Jorge Lorenzo. The Spaniard has six wins at Mugello, including an impressive streak between 2009 and 2016 where he either won, or finished in second. After a brief hiatus in 2017, he was back on the top step last year, an emotionally charged win which reestablished him as a force to be reckoned with.
What can he do in 2019? He has yet to get comfortable with the Honda RC213V, literally and figuratively. At Le Mans, he went from a modified version of the seat he used at Yamaha to the standard Honda seat he had rejected very early after making the switch.
His team applies an ever-shifting patchwork of friction pads to his tank and seat, sometimes changing even between sessions. Clip-ons are adjusted up by a millimeter, and Clip-ons are adjusted down by a millimeter.
This is in part to help him keep his strength through the latter part of the races. But it is also to try to find him some sense of control with the front end of the Honda. It is not a natural bike for him, Lorenzo told us at Le Mans. That does not bode well for a track which he loves. And a poor result here would be a setback.
Cal Crutchlow will be a key rider to watch at Mugello. His choice of front tire will speak volumes of his feeling with the front. And whether he crashes during practice will be a warning sign too.
Crutchlow can go well at Mugello, but if the Honda is struggling at the track, the LCR Honda rider will be the first to show signs of it. He always pushes hard, and sometimes, that can have a price.
Yamaha Land
Once upon a time, we would have said that Mugello was a Yamaha track. It still definitely is, with one minor proviso: the Yamaha M1 does everything right at Mugello – it brakes, it turns, it carries corner speed, it accelerates – except for one thing.
The Yamaha has never been the fastest bike on the grid, but this year, with Honda and Ducati making another step forward, that deficit has gotten worse. The Yamahas have been 5 km/h or more down at most tracks, which at a place like Mugello, can easily grow to over 10 km/h.
The last time Yamaha came to Mugello with a speed deficit was 2016. They tried to compensate for that shortcoming by raising the rev limit on the M1, but that did not turn out as they hoped. Jorge Lorenzo was lucky, his engine blew during morning warm up, but Valentino Rossi was less fortunate, the engine letting go as he battled for the lead with Lorenzo.
The engine overrevved as they went over the crest at the end of the straight, the rear wheel losing contact with the ground at top speed, the electronics unable to catch it in time. Damage accumulated, and eventually, the engine gave up the ghost.
Engineers at the MotoGP level are not supposed to make the same mistake twice, and so a repeat is very unlikely. (As a rule, what engineers at the MotoGP level do is find new and exciting ways to make mistakes, but then, that's why they go racing.)
The Yellow Sea
Valentino Rossi comes to Mugello in very good shape, currently fourth in the championship and still very much in the chase. This is his home race, far more than Misano (despite the Misano track being just a few minutes from his home town), and tens of thousands of fans make the pilgrimage, in the hope of seeing him win there one more time.
Beating the Ducatis with the horsepower disadvantage he currently has will be difficult, but if he can stay in the slipstream and use the agility of the M1, it is not completely impossible. But he will need little motivation beyond trying to win a race again, after nearly two years, and doing it at his home round at Mugello would be the best possible way to do that.
Qualifying will be crucial: so far this year, Rossi's qualifying has been a very mixed bag, and his results determined in no small part by how well he goes on Saturday. If he is on the front two rows on Sunday, there's a chance that anything could happen.
Maverick Viñales faces a greater challenge. Viñales has had less problems qualifying, but more problems in the races so far this season.
Each time he believes he has addressed one problem, such as getting a good start, or being able to push in the first laps of the race, a new one pops up. Viñales has to find a way to be strong from start to finish at Mugello, and like Rossi, the Yamaha could carry him to an excellent result.
Next Level?
But the eyes of the world will not just be on the factory team in the Monster Energy Yamaha garage, there will be much attention paid to the Petronas Yamaha SRT team too. Franco Morbidelli has been solid so far, and will hope to go well at his home race.
But Fabio Quartararo has been spectacular in 2019, becoming the youngest ever polesitter at Jerez, then losing a podium due to a mechanical issue, and following it up by topping practice sessions at Le Mans, and coming through the field very strongly in the race.
This could be a race where Quartararo finally gets onto the podium, but he faces an even bigger challenge than the other Yamaha riders.
All of them are faced with a top speed disadvantage, but Quartararo's bike also has 500 RPM fewer than the factory-spec bikes, making it hard for him to challenge the blazing speed of the Ducatis.
Suzuki's Secret Stronghold
If there is a dark horse at Mugello, it is surely the Suzukis of Alex Rins and Joan Mir. In 2018, before an engine upgrade brought them much-needed horsepower, both Suzukis crossed the line in fourth and fifth place, just a second behind the battle for second place between Andrea Dovizioso and Valentino Rossi. This year, the bike has more power, more acceleration, and is as agile and sweet-handling as ever.
And Alex Rins really needs a good result. A disastrous qualifying at Le Mans saw him start from nineteenth on the grid, before slicing his way forward to finish tenth.
But that proved costly in the championship, Rins dropping from second to third, and going from being just one point behind the leader to being 20 points behind. If Rins is to make up ground, he needs to finish ahead of Márquez, and score a lot of points.
The outcome of that will be decided, partially at least, on Saturday afternoon. If Rins can overcome the streak of poor qualifying he has had in recent weeks – partly his own fault, partly a more general issue with the Suzuki, then he could be the one to take the fight to the Ducatis.
A Spaniard on a Suzuki beating an Italian on a Ducati at Mugello? That would really put the cat among the pigeons.
Simplifying matters for everyone at Mugello is the fact that the weather should be stable all weekend. The rain which disrupted practice at Le Mans, and ruined the chances of some during qualifying, is set to stay away.
Though it has been the coldest May in Tuscany in a hundred years, the sun is set to warm the circuit for the weekend, getting warmer as the weekend goes on. MotoGP will be hotting up at Mugello, in every sense of the word.

Kauri Trees are a significant part of New Zealand's ecosystem but lack legal protection. Picture: Pixabay
The felling of native Kauri trees is a major concern in the face of climate change, says a kauri preservation trust.
Winnie Charlesworth, from Save Our Kauri Trust, said that in light of the increasing social concern about climate change and the recently proposed zero carbon amendment bill, people should be more concerned about protecting kauri trees.
Kauri have one of the highest carbon densities of any tree in the world and are central to New Zealand's ecosystem.
Ms Charlesworth said that while many kauri dense areas are covered by the SEA (significant ecological area) plan, which was introduced after blanket tree protection was lifted in 2012, even those trees can be cut down.
"The purpose of [the SEA plan] was to continue to protect native and mature native trees, but what's happened is you simply need to apply for a resource consent and you can fell at the discretion of council."
She stated there are no laws protecting trees, including natives, outside of SEAs.
"The problem is that the law doesn't protect kauri, and that's the bottom line. Kauri are a protected species and in the Auckland Council plan there is no special protection for them as a species that's under threat of extinction. It's quite ridiculous really.
"What we are wanting government to do is reinstate some sort of blanket protection because there are lots of trees unprotected in the Waitakere ranges that are mature, that are native and even if they are in an SEA they can be felled."
Ms Charlesworth said this is particularly concerning as kauri trees are already under great threat from kauri dieback, which has spread rapidly through the Waitakere ranges.
The Environmental Court recently discharged a temporary order protecting a 400-year-old kauri tree from felling in the Titirangi area and have refused to grant a permanent order on the grounds that the tree is not within a SEA.
The tree, named 'Awhiawhi' by local iwi, is one of the only trees in the area not affected by kauri dieback disease.
Save Our Kauri Trust have submitted an appeal on the court's decision which will be heard June 9.

At the 30 Billion Concert sponsored by First Bank, one of Nigeria's most prominent musicians did the unexpected.
It wasn't the encore reconciliation of Wizkid and Davido that gave fans a moment worthy of the history books. Neither was it the sheer amount of entertainment that the concert packaged and offered to all who made the journey to the Eko Convention Centre, in Lagos, Nigeria.
The most crucial moment at that concert was the reunion of Mo'Hits all-stars. After two months of conversations, compromise and planning, Davido would succeed in bringing together these people on to one stage. What made it special was that they had everyone. Dr Sid, Kayswitch, D'Prince, and Wande Coal all showed up with their bosses D'banj and Don Jazzy. It was an emotional moment for many Nigerians who saw them roll back the years with their hits. My favourite was 'Booty call', one of their greatest magical moments of brilliance.
Now think about that performance set. Think about the energy, the symbolism and significance that the performance generated. That can be an entire concert planned, promoted and executed by the Mavins.
With that performance, comes renewed hope. Seeing them on stage brought the possibility that we might have our Mo'Hits again. We might not have them together as a cohesive unit under one business banner. But they can bind gather again for themselves and for the culture, to perhaps record one album, or take us on a tour around cities. You would like that. You would pay good money to have a Mo'Hits concert. It will be a big deal and a significant moment for our music industry. Rolling back the years would have a new meaning. This trip down memory lane would be savoured and celebrated.
Of all the options available to them, the concert remains the most reasonable expectation. It might be a huge mountain to get all the boys in the studio for an album. But with the potential financial and cultural reward posed by a concert, they can band together one more time for a huge show. First Bank already threw their sponsorship muscle behind Davido, which birthed this hope. They can be called upon again to power this moment for Nigerian music.
Since their split in 2012, Mo'Hits had never come together in one room, in a single place, and delivered music. Seeing them on stage together in December was the first time in almost 6 years, ignited a desire for them to do something significant again. Are we going to have them take us all up on it?

Pansy Platter Pair
Pansies are fun to paint; I've said it before and I'll say it again!! For this custom project the client wanted Pansies painted on her two large metal platters which were bordered with a wooden rim (15″ diameter). I covered over their original motif with a grayish blue background color. And then I just had fun! Of course in addition to painting a variety of floral patterns and color variations, I put in buds and seed pods and wilted blooms along with a bee in each one.
Just Another Day At the Office
These two plaques are a depiction of a friend's comments about his stressful work situation. I painted the Elephant one a few years prior to the trapeze one. They are 8 1/2″ X 6 1/2″ each.
Fuchsia Pink Rose with Butterfly
This lush fuchsia colored Rose is a just barely opened blossom painted in sharp focus against a diffused green background. The inspiration for this painting is a photo I took this past spring in the Rose Garden in Elizabeth Park, Hartford, CT. The purple butterfly is an 'enhanced' Common Blue. The small plaque is only 9″ X 7″ but comes on strong! It is available for sale at $80 including shipping. Please contact me through this site if you are interested in purchasing it.

The McDonald County 18U baseball team's trip to Branson last week wasn't as enjoyable as most people's visit to Missouri's entertainment capital.
Despite a couple of chances, McDonald County couldn't come up with a win in its five games of the College of the Ozarks Showcase played at several locations in the Branson area.
McDonald County opened the showcase on June 6 with a 5-0 loss to Springfield Hillcrest at Pirate Park, home of the Branson Pirates.
Parker Toney took the loss, allowing five runs on eight hits in six innings. The junior-to-be at MCHS struck out eight while not walking a batter.
Hillcrest took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first before adding two runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth.
McDonald County was shut out on just three hits, singles by Cole Martin, Wyatt Jordan and Junior Eliam.
In the rain-shortened second game of the day, Bartlesville scored six runs in the bottom of the first and cruised to a 10-2 win in four innings.
It took three McDonald County pitchers, Bo Leach, Shadow Keeling and Brandon Francisco, to get out of the first. Leach gave up a double, had a runner reach on an error and hit a batter before Keeling walked the only two batters he faced.
Francisco got the final two outs of the inning but also walked two batters in the frame.
Kameron Hopkins worked the final three innings, allowing four runs on three hits, while walking one batter and hitting three. McDonald County committed four errors in Hopkins' three innings of work.
McDonald County scored both of its runs in the first on an error and singles by Hopkins and Jordan and a sacrifice fly by Sampson Boles.
On June 8, McDonald County dropped a 5-3 decision to Central Missouri in its first game of the day. Boles took the loss, allowing four runs on five hits.
Central Missouri scored three runs in the bottom of the first and one in the third to take a 4-0 lead.
McDonald County cut the lead to 4-3 with two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth before Central Missouri added an insurance run in the fifth off Nevin Price.
Hopkins tripled in a run and scored on Boles' sacrifice fly to key McDonald County's fourth while Rylee Boyd drove in a run with a single for McDonald County in the fifth.
Boyd finished with two hits while Jordan and Hopkins both had one.
Branson handed McDonald County a 9-6 loss in the final pool game. Boyd took the loss, allowing two runs in the first without a hit. He walked four and hit another to give Branson a 2-0 lead.
McDonald County answered with five runs in the third to take a 5-2 lead.
Martin singled before Price was hit by a pitch and Hopkins walked to load the bases. Omar Manuel drove in two runs with a single before Wyatt Jordan drove in another with a ground out. Leach singled in the fourth run of the inning, while the fifth scored on Francisco's single and an error.
But Branson scored three runs in the third off Brandon Armstrong on two hits, a walk and a hit batter to tie.
McDonald County took a 6-5 lead in the top of the fourth on a single by Boles, a sacrifice bunt by Martin and a pair of wild pitches.
Branson came up with three runs in the bottom of the inning for the win when the game was called due to a time limit. Armstrong allowed a walk and an RBI single before Francisco gave up a pair of runs on two hits and a two-run error.
In McDonald County's final game of the showcase, Popular Bluff scored three runs off Francisco in the first on the way to a 10-1 win on June 9.
McDonald County cut the margin to 3-1 in the fourth, but Popular Bluff added two runs in the fifth and five in the seventh to clinch the win.
Toney worked four innings of relief, allowing just two runs, but Popular Bluff scored five runs in the seventh off Armstrong, Jordan and Manuel.
McDonald County was held to six hits, two by Boles and one each by Martin, Eliam, Price and Leach.
McDonald County split a regular season doubleheader with Seneca on June 5 at MCHS.
Seneca scored two runs in the top of the seventh to claim a 7-5 decision in the opener.
Francisco was let down by his defense in the first inning as McDonald County committed five errors that led to three Seneca runs on just two hits.
Seneca built a 5-0 lead after six innings, but McDonald County tied the game with five runs in the bottom of the sixth, only to commit two errors that allowed Seneca to score two runs in the seventh.
Hopkins had three hits and Martin had two to lead the McDonald County offense. Price, Francisco and Jordan added one hit each.
McDonald County claimed a 12-4 win in the nightcap. Boyd, Keeling, Leach, Jordan, Logan Harriman combined to hold Seneca to four runs on six hits.
Martin had four hits to lead the offense. Jordan, Boyd, Hopkins, Ethan Lett and Wade Rickman had one each.
McDonald County hosted Neosho on June 11 before going to Seneca on June 18.Sports on 06/13/2019

I have just learned that Macro in Memories of Alhambra and Baek Kyung in Extraordinary You are portrayed by the same actor.
I think my brain freezed
How soon till he starts chasing Ha-roo ?
He probably has already started. Remember the scene in episode 1 when she started to have realization after Joo Da crashed into Nam Jum? Those quickly changing scenes, they are the bugs. So she has been infected
He's also the makjang actor in WWW. Sooooo versatile. Hehe
He looked so short in Memories of Alhambra but now he's suddenly ridiculously tall in Extraordinary You.
Yes. He's versatile, I never expected he's the same person
Maybe he just grew taller. He's young. Hahaha
21 is still young~ Hehe
Also, his cheeks are fuller in MoA than in WWW and EY! And his cheeks there are rosy!
Comment was deleted
Hahaha yes, he was short, little bit chubby, and maniacal in MoA
Now he's tall, lean and hot
This was too shocking for me when I saw him in Search:WWW. Like he's towering everyone in that drama but he never left an impression in MOA that he was ridiculously tall!
I know! He looks so short in MoA
I was almost disappointed that Almost Paradise is not the background song in Extraordinary You episode 1 when the A3 strutted into the school hall.
We need Almost Paradise in the background to complete the cliche
Haha. I mentally played that song. What does that say about me? 😱
LOL, yes!
I thought Extraordinary Yiu was BoF's parody 😄
I ship Dan Oh and Baek Kyung in Extraordinary You.
I hope this is the OTP so that I won't be burned alive by this ship.
*plays you White Flag by Dido and hands you burn salve*
I still hope I won't be burned. I have gone too far with this ship, there is no turning back for me
All Hail Dramabeans the Savior!
Saves you from utter, absolute brainfreeze caused by meddling CTO during Spring Planning
Dear @mary ,
Can I suggest Dramabeans to add reCAPTCHA on Signup page? That way we can prevent those bot spammers from creating accounts.
I've never hated Netflix as much as I do right now.
There had better be a season 2 of Love Alarm. Or there will be bloody murder. Very bloody murder
"Bleep! There is a murderer within 10 meters"
srsly. we should all just start protesting these half-series they post (in disguise as "season 1" and "season 2") by waiting until "season 2" is up as well.
We should.
And we thought having to wait a week for the next episode is bad enough…
Glad I did not watch it yet. When I saw Season 1 on the title! Huh! Seems like My First First Love.XD
I didn't realize the 'Season 1' thing when I started watching the drama. I even marathon-ed (work? What work?) to the last episode, because I thought it was really the last episode.
So imagine my reaction when I saw the scene freezo and credits started rolling. Suffice to say, my reaction was the same as my reaction for Moon Lover's ending.
Very disappointed then hahaha Omg That kind of last scene will really make watchers angry 😂😂😂
I was like, "What? WHAT? WHAT!!?"
I have never seen an astronaut in spacesuit with as much attitude as Man Wol.
The girl is amazing
I love, love all of IU's clothes in Hotel Del Luna, especially the flowing satin/silk dresses she wore at the early part of episode 1.
UI's a lucky girl to have such wonderful wardrobes in this drama
Hotel Del Luna's first episode is amazing. I love, love how the drama is shot, it was so beautiful.
IU's character is so strong. Please continue that way.
I cant't wait for Hotel De La Luna.
Or to be more exact, I can't wait to hear Yeo Jin Gu shriek like a girl.
Oh man, then what does that say about Lee Joon Gi's future wife and marriage?? Cuz that man is preeeeeeetty
Jkjk lol
Young Gu in suits = hotelier Yeo Jin Gu
Secondly, shall we take a moment to appreciate how wonderful Yeo Jin Gu\'s voice sounds every time he speaks?
I made it through The Crowned Clown thanks to his voice.
A slump is when you have nothing to do but browsing through Beanies page, only to come to the post you have seen yesterday.
Now you have run out of your beanies posts. What should you do now?
Same same.
Join me to watch Perfume next week. Hehehe
*promoting eventhough I don't know how it would be yet..because SSR obviously 😉
If SSR is there, I'm willing to try it out!
I think Hong Jong Hyun\'s character will get the girl again this time.
Also, this is is his third character that has Wang as part of the name, Wang Yo, Wang Rin, Wang Joon
He should!!! He's typecasted as the second lead who gets the girl! I'm waiting until the end to pick this one up!
I know, right? He should live up to his reputation and snag the girl.
If I remember correctly, in the Japanese adaptation, Zettai Kareshi, the human gets the girl.
with this hope i shall repick Absolute BF… but still worrying abt my poor heart.
plus… good observation abt him being wang third time…
I remember an interview for The King Love where he was asked for his thought on being a 'Wang' again after being Wang Yo in Moon Lovers. I'd be on cloud nine if an interviewer asks him the same question again this time around.
You should. I now understand why Hong Jong Hyun takes this role. Wang Joon allows him to have wider range of expressions compared to his previous roles.
I wonder if Yeo Jin Gu had to shave his legs for this role? Because robots should not have body hair and he has been parading in that knee-length bathrobe for 4 episodes.
If he does, I:
1. feel sorry for him
2. laugh my head off at him
in that order
Don't all actors/idols do that? If you see some videos by soobeanie or grazy grace on Youtube, they spill some insights of this industry. Apparently not all but many get laser done.
They do? I never knew. I thought only actresses does that. I thought the male actors/idols only get laser hair removal for facial hairs.
Secondly I am too used to see Hollywood actors with their hairy arms and legs in movies and dramas.
If the occasion calls for it, they shave it all just as easily as any woman.
And yes, some do laser routinely to keep the length and density acceptable. The chest hair is removed all the time for the muscle makeup to stick.
The chest hair is removed all the time for the muscle makeup to stick.
This is new for me. It's amazing what I can learn at DramaBeans
I am always one day late when watching Her Private Life, so navigating Beanies page on Thursdays and Fridays is like navigating landmines for me. It's so hard to avoid the spoilers
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Congrats 💝
Thank you
When I finally get my own apartment, I am going to get an orange cat and name him Ryan, but I will pronounce it \"lion\"
Yup. Definitely.
Make sure your new apartment allow pets. If not you can adopt a stuffed lion hehehe
I mean a lion plushie. Not taxidermy 😅
Comment was deleted
Hahaha, a lion plushie sounds like a good idea for my current living arrangement.
Apartments in my country allow pets, if you keep it within the compound of your house.
Sulky Ryan Gold is gold
You have no idea how angry I was when I watch the continuation of last week\'s kiss in episode 7. The drama tortured me for a week only to fool me like this. Don\'t get me wrong, I love the lion, but I seriouly felt like punching him when I saw the actual detail of the kiss. Either him, or the writer. Or myself for being overly engrossed with the scene.
But I have to admit, that\'s a good plot twist and cliffhanger.
On other note, I have a very serious urge to change my DB banner from the bloody Wang So to Ryan Gold in glasses. You have no idea how many times I rewind the scene when he\'s wearing that golden glasses.
Wang So 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❣❣❣❣😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘
Yes. Forgive me oppa, but it seems like you have found your rival in Ryan Gold
Ryan Gold with glasses is one of the most beautiful sight I've seen in my life 😍
Agree, agree

NEWS of the government pulling out of the organisation of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) has caused a stir in the entertainment industry and generated discussion among industry players and stakeholders.
The Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs Barbara Oteng-Gyasi, made the disclosure in an interview with Atinka TV and stated that the discontent among industry players led to the government giving up its three-year hosting rights after just one year.
While the conversation picks up steam, some industry players are in interviews with Graphic Showbiz, asking the government to come clean on how much was spent last year on the event and what happens to the rest of the money that was earmarked for the other years.
The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) was one body that raised issues with the organisation of AFRIMA and the lack of inclusion of local players, with its President, Bice Osei Kuffour (aka Obour), saying they needed to engage the government on it.
"If AFRIMA had been well-structured and more inclusive, it would have been a great event of immense benefit to us. Unfortunately, the government started on the wrong foot and that made us lose out.
Get Digital Versions of Graphic Publications by downloading Graphic NewsPlus Here. Also available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store
"Instead of pulling out, my expectation was that the government would reconstitute the committee, made up of industry players who would explore how the industry could leverage its hosting rights for a mutually beneficial relationship," he said.
For Obour, it is now time for the government to start supporting Ghanaian events.
"There are so many events such as the Ghana Music Awards, Ghana Music Week and others which need support so now the conversation going forward should be about what the government is going to do with the money that was committed to AFRIMA.
"Once the contract had been signed for three years, it meant the money had been earmarked already so what we need to do is pick up the discussion and ask the government what will happen to the money," he stated.
Film producer and entertainment critic, Ola Michael, who was very vocal in his displeasure with Ghana hosting AFRIMA, also asked questions about the AFRIMA money.
"I have always said it was needless for the government to go into it. We have too many festivals and events in this country that are crying for support and the government needs to focus on them. Our arts and culture festival, NAFAC, which is held every two years, could not hold last year because of AFRIMA so it's a good thing we have pulled out.
"Information available to me indicates that the government was not happy with the whole AFRIMA thing and it is one of the reasons why Catherine Afeku was sacked from the Tourism Ministry. We paid $250,000 to host the event last year so now that we are not hosting again, can we get our balance back?
"Look, there are about 50 domains in the creative arts scene which are all crying for money and about $50,000 dollars can solve our problems so we need our balance," he said.
The Convener of the Foundation of Concerned Arts Professionals (FOCAP) and arts critic, Kojo Preko Dankwah, was, however, worried about how the government's pull out will affect us.
"This puts our industry in a bad light because it creates doubts about our readiness to join the African continent and sell who we are.
"This is an AU collaboration to reward and celebrate talents and creativity on the African continent so it would have positioned Ghanaian music on another level but pulling out has brought us shame.
"It shows how we simply did not understand the level of positive drive we were going to have on the continent. We were going to rule one way or the other through the collaborations, music videos, tourism sites, hotels, pubs, etc." he told Showbiz.
For him, the AFRIMA venture was not handled well and that's why people are happy about the contract's abrogation.
"The negotiations for hosting the AFRIMA was done on the blind side of the industry and no one seems to be accountable. The minister herself cannot even quote figures about the cost though she told the nation at her vetting that she will look at the cost implications.
"We need proper investigations into AFRIMA. Who and who sat to bring it on without the involvement of industry players? What happened with the deal and the money that was paid because we still owe hotels from last year. We need investigation because we hear the entire budget was $4.5 million, so what went into it?" he queried.
Another entertainment critic, Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo, feels it was right for the government to quit hosting AFRIMA. "I am certain if the hosting of the awards last year gave us benefits, the government would not have cancelled the contract.
"Clearly, we gained nothing and considering the amount of money we were going to expend in hosting it for the next two years, it is right for the abrogation. We saved money but the timing was wrong," he said.
On whether this will have implications for us, Arnold said no. "We rather rushed in taking up the responsibility of hosting the awards in the first place.
"We do not even have the appropriate auditorium with the requisite tools to host an international event like AFRIMA. This was evident when we hosted it at the AICC last year; it was a shambolic showing," he concluded.
When Showbiz reached out to AFRIMA Country Manager, Francis Doku, he said he did not wish to comment on the matter.

Rafał Kuć
Software Engineer
Sematext Group, Inc.
Software engineer, trainer, consultant and author from time to time - some would say that he is an all in one battle weapon concentrated mostly on Lucene, Solr and Elasticsearch. However he also likes all the other cool stuff that is happening in the IT world. Likes to share his knowledge by giving talks at various meet ups and conferences.
Rafał Kuć is speaking at the following session/s
Tweaking the Base Score: Lucene/Solr Similarities Explained
Lucene has a lot of options for configuring similarity, and Solr inherits them. Similarity makes the base of your relevancy score: how similar is this document to the query? The default similarity (BM25) is a good start, but you may need to tweak it for your use-case. In this session, you will learn how BM25 works and how you may want to change its parameters. Then, we'll move to other similarity classes: DFR, DFI, IB and LM. You will learn the thinking behind them, how that thinking translates to the similarity score, and which parameters allow you to tweak how score evolves based on things like term frequency or document length. By the end, you'll have a good understanding of which similarity options are likely to work well for your use-case. You'll know which tunables are available and whether you need to implement a custom similarity class. As an example, we'll focus on E-commerce, where you often end up ignoring term frequency altogether.
Attendee Takeaway
1) What are the built-in Lucene/Solr similarities and what they do
2) Which similarity to use for which use-case
3) How to use a custom similarity class in Solr
Intended Audience
Lucene/Solr users interested in how scoring works, the ideas behind default scoring options and how to configure them

|Why additional presentations help identify a stimulus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20919780 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Nosofsky (1983) reported that additional stimulus presentations within a trial increase discriminability in absolute identification, suggesting that each presentation creates an independent stimulus representation, but it remains unclear whether exposure duration or the formation of independent representations improves discrimination in such conditions. Experiment 1 replicated Nosofsky's result. Experiments 2 (masking the ISI between two-presentations) and 3 (manipulating stimulus duration without changing number of presentations or overall trial duration) ruled out an explanation in terms of extended opportunities for stimulus sampling, from either a sensory buffer during additional ISIs or increased stimulus exposure, respectively. Experiment 4 (comparing two and three-presentations, other factors controlled) provided some limited additional support for Nosofsky's original claim that additional stimulus presentations can create either independent or duplicate representations. Experiments 5 and 6 (both manipulating ISI) demonstrated that a key factor in the additional stimulus presentation effect is the overall trial duration. We discuss the results in relation to models of absolute identification, their relative emphasis on stimulus sampling versus response selection, and the mechanisms by which duplicate representations could be created.

Leasing needed a new packaging or label design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 32 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
Shades N Sync Salon
We sell health & beauty products online directly to consumers. Our Primary target audience is women.
I would like a redesign of existing package labeling for a new product we are launching.
Product: Micro Needle Derma Roller
The packaging label should say: "Flawless Derma Roller by Shades N Sync Salon" along with your design.
The design is up to you to come up with, but should be simple, elegant, unique, original and attractive. The current package labeling is attached in a pdf format, it is a small rectangular box 4.5 cm tall by 6 cm long by 4.2cm deep. I would like both the packaging label design in a format ready to print as well as 3D renderings of the package, in a resolution of 1200x1200 on a pure white background for display on our website.
I am attaching our current design that contains a upc code, you can use any UPC example you wish for now, but before final design we will assign you our actual upc code for final delivery. The Caution language in the current design also needs to be incorporated. The packaging label should also contain the phrase "540 - 1.0 mm - Needles".
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
I am attaching current competitor designs that we will be competing against for reference, along with the original design.

Staggering Statistics: Did You Know Dating Abuse Affects 1 In 3 Teens?
Research shows that one in three teens will be abused by a dating partner.
LIKE LatinoDoctor.org on Facebook! La vitamina diaria…Para Su Vida!
Despite the prevalence of this problem, few parents are discussing the topic with their children. In fact, according to Mary Kay's recent "Don't Look Away" survey, three out of four parents have never had a conversation about domestic violence with their children.
"It's our hope that by removing the awkward feelings between parents and teens about this topic, we'll be able to provide education and support for young people and stop the cycle of abuse before it starts."

Topic category: Bugs and solutions
okay so i try to make a magic mod and i use gui but i cant becuase the gui when i click the button in survivl mode ill get the item but if i try to use it it wont work why and fix it now becuase you have to and keybind is the same deal FIX IT NOW
I would try to help you, but I just don't understand what you're saying, or what you need. Can you specify so I can try to help you ?
He's Trying To Say That When He Clicks The Button In The Gui, It Won't Work In Survival Mode. Same With Keybinds.
That's because GUIs and Keybinds are client-side and would need a custom handler to work properly, which is currently not possible to do using MCreator, at least not without coding. You may want to open a ticket in the issue tracker.
how do I open a ticket
do you know how to code one because when I learnt it made me delete a mod I relly wanted to do so ya but why is there a gui and keybind button on there if it DONT WORK ha
this is making me so angry
Just do some search on the website, it is not that hard. And links to the issue tracker are everywhere, even on this page on the sidebar: https://mcreator.net/tracker
But you most likely already got the answer by other users above.
i don't think i did
how do I make a custom handler then????????/

Plans for what will be the country's tallest apartment tower in Auckland are stuck in a dispute over whether a single stairwell for its top 11 floors is good enough in an evacuation.
This comes as fire rules for tall buildings nationwide are being tightened (PDF, 1.2MB).
The Grenfell Tower fire in London, and fire safety failings at all 75 other UK high-rises checked in its wake, has put a focus on tall building safety worldwide.
In Auckland, the council has called in the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) to make a ruling on the fire safety design for the 52-storey 187m tall Customs Street Residential tower.
The project's architect, Brad Luke, said it had two stairwells - up to a height that he wouldn't specify - and then a single one for the penthouses on top.
He said its design drew on evacuation designs that might be unfamiliar in New Zealand, but were proven internationally.
Current fire regulations allow a single stairwell in 60m and even 100m-plus buildings, as long as the stairwell is pressurised to keep out smoke and other fire safety measures provide back-up.
Massachusetts fire protection associate professor Brian Meachem said he would have expected New Zealand to go down the route the US has taken.
"We as a minimum require at least two means of escape from every floor ... even above two or three storeys, and as you go higher and have a larger occupant load you may be required to have even three means of escape or four."
That was based on experience in major high-rise fires, such as the MGM casino fire that killed 85 people in Las Vegas in 1980, and the 9/11 evacuation problems at the World Trade Centre.
In New Zealand, the fire regulations were overhauled just five years ago, followed by two years of additions explaining the rules, but the overhaul has not yet managed to properly address issues around tall buildings.
The latest MBIE discussion document, which is currently out for consultation, says the regime "currently does not address building height risk".
"Part of that is you haven't had a lot of very tall buildings and so it hasn't been a big concern until recently. So I would look at [the proposed changes] as a very positive step by MBIE and others to get out in front," said Prof Meacham, who has advised the ministry about the changes.
He said the regulations here were almost as tight as in the US, and in better shape than Britain.
Concerns changes don't go far enough
But Society of Fire Protection Engineers president Geoff Merryweather said he was not sure whether MBIE had done a full risk assessment of the changes.
"The changes basically bring us back to where we were pre-2012."
He said the tall building changes would still allow apartment blocks from 25m to 60m high to have a single stairwell that was not pressurised, and to do without the sorts of extra protection enforceable on high-rises above 60m.
The complications of single stairwells include firefighters running hoses through them while people try to get out.
In the late-night Melbourne Docklands high-rise fire of 2014, people took twice as long to wake up and evacuate as expected.
Mr Merryweather said New Zealand buildings were not dangerous - but some of the designing, construction and consenting, and use of the lowest-cost fire engineering were.
With so many challenges, he said, the government needed wide input.
"The feedback I've had from members is that many of them can't be bothered replying to any consultation from MBIE simply 'cos they never listened in the past, therefore why should they waste their time."
Developers have until March before they would have to comply with the new regulations.
MBIE said in a statement it had worked with the whole industry on the changes.
The proposals in the discussion document would "provide clarity on design for tall buildings" using a particular verification method to comply with fire safety regulations, it said.
"This clarity is designed to remove any inconsistency in agreeing … methodology and assessment criteria for tall buildings."
Auckland Council has not yet responded to RNZ's requests for comment.

Hello les Cotonettes, Même si officiellement l'hiver n'est pas là, il fait des températures polaires…Lire plus →
Oh I just love this series! And the lady who makes the braid is my farvoite. What's interesting to me about haute couture technique is that each House has their own way of doing construction. From the research I've done, the business model is the same across every House (because it's required by French law) but aside from basic construction each House appears to use its own very individual techniques, especially in the finishing stages. Much of the technique you see used at Chanel has been developed by that House over the past 80 years in response to Coco Chanel's very particular design aesthetic.

People frequently ask me questions about the business side of blogging and how we justify the time and money we pour into it.
And by people, I mean the IRS.
Just kidding, y'all. We've never been audited.
[Until she was dumb enough to put that in writing.]
Seriously, though, I've had several friends and family members ask me questions about how we justify the time we spend on a business whose quarterly report resembles that of a neighborhood lemonade stand…in February.
And, I'll tell you, it definitely takes plenty of commitment and a positive attitude.
[And denial, Katy. LOTS of denial.]
I begin my day (after my prayer and Bible time) answering emails, responding to guest post requests, turning down advertising offers from condom manufacturers (kid you not), responding to your awesome comments, and updating my various social media pages. During the kids' nap time, I prepare for the following day's post. In my free time, I read about how to monetize a blog, how to blog a book, and how to book speaking engagements. Occasionally, I read other blogs that inspire, encourage or entertain me. I spend most of my evenings writing, shooting and editing video. Brian spends most of his evenings proofreading, researching and fixing anything technical on the blog that I managed to break during the day.
We take this blog very seriously because we both truly feel led to do this. When one or both of us no longer sense God's calling in this direction, we'll change gears.
It's as simple as that.
But there is an obstacle that stands between my good intentions as a blogger and your computer screen (or mobile device): technology.
If it wasn't for Brian and his technical prowess, this blog would be slightly less professional than the aforementioned lemonade stand.
Technology can kick my butt sometimes. And I'm so thankful for a husband who is as passionate about this as I am—even though the return on his investment up to this point has been little more than my sincere appreciation and undying affection.
Which, he assures me, is pretty much priceless.
[Hang on a minute while I take a peek at my brain.]
Hey! I can hear you rolling your eyes over there.
[Wait. Can she seriously hear me?]
This just got weird.
Anyhow, I told you all of this back story to tell you about something that happened to me this week. Brian and I scheduled to have a romantic dinner at home on Monday evening after the kids went to bed. So, I planned to have all of my blogging business sorted out well in advance. This is no small feat for a procrastinating perfectionist.
I was excited that I managed to get my post completed, spaghetti cooked and…ahem…let's just say Brian let me sleep later than usual the next morning.
Because I was so worn out from all the carbs at dinner.
Get your mind out of the gutter, people!
(Wink, wink.)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we just lost my dad.
I checked my email from my iPhone the next morning as I usually do (though quite a bit later than normal), and I was surprised that my newsletter was not in my inbox. I knew I scheduled it the night before because I'm a little bit OCD about checking and rechecking the scheduled times for my posts.
I ran downstairs to my desktop and opened the "dashboard" on my blogging software. There, I found this cryptic message next to the scheduled post: "Missed schedule."
What does that even mean?
Did my blog post have a doctor's appointment that it failed mention to me?
Did it hit snooze one too many times?
Was it stuck in a long line at the DMV?
Folks, this is a piece of software that is programmed to post particular things to a particular location at a particular time. Every. Time.
And it just decided to oversleep on April 22nd?
I can't understand how something like this happens in the year 2013. This has Y2K written all over it. But not 2013.
I took a deep breath when I realized my post was still just sitting there like it had nowhere important to be at 7 a.m.
I went ahead and rescheduled it to run later, but I was curious about what whould have happened if I'd just left it sitting there. Would it have eventually woken up and been like, "Oh my goodness, Katy. I'm SO SORRY I'm late. I ate WAAAAY too much spaghetti last night, and then I was sick all night in the bathroom, and then I overslept after my alarm didn't go off, and then I remembered I had to get my driver's license renewed. Pleeeeease accept my apology…and this box of warm Krispy Kreme donuts."
And I'd be all, "How DARE you show up late when I've got…ommmm nommmm nommmm. You're forgiven."
I'm just glad it wasn't a guest post from a fellow blogger or something.
Because, I would probably get a frantic call like, "Um…Katy, where is the post you were supposed to publish for me?"
And I'd be all, "I'm soooo sorry to have to tell you this…but…I think my blog ate it. But, it's totally cool. I got donuts."
Two words for you, people: Hot light.
Warms my heart every time.
Note: This post is dedicated to my high school teacher, Mr. Dooley. Who repeatedly excused me when I was late to my first period class as long as I brought donuts. We all pretty much gained 50 pounds that year.
