The metallics trend is a hot one that looks set to continue long into the future. We've seen gold accents gleaming on the catwalks and now we're dressing our homes to impress with this rich lustre. Just as we can adorn any type of outfit with rich trims, gold has become a go to accent for each and every room of the home, from living rooms to kitchens, bedrooms to bathrooms. A word of warning though: You can overdo it. Getting the look just right can be a delicate balance. Too little goes unnoticed and too much becomes gaudy. This inspirational home design, visualised by Home D, hits it just right.
Two precious gold accents are allowed to sing out in their individual spots in this neutrally decorated living space. A modern gold swing seat has been hung across the room from a gold coffee table. The two are of complementary circular designs to make the room harmonious.
A grey modern sofa, pale beige curtains and a light herringbone floor create a cool coloured backdrop for warm metallic lustre, giving the room crisp contemporary class.
The unique coffee table is composed of two golden discs, one upper and one lower volume. The surface is uncluttered to let it gleam. Beside this, a taller more narrow version of the dual disc coffee table design stands in white, so as not to fight with the showcase piece.
A store of cut logs acts as a focal point to one side of the television wall. The natural tone of the wood ties in with the beige tones elsewhere in the room.
A hoop of warm light echoes the golden circular lines of the swing seat and coffee table.
At the other side of the open plan space, a central kitchen island has a golden finish. The rest of the kitchen is a simple white design. Only the kitchen faucet and a couple of additional small fixtures have been carefully added to tie in with the metallic treatment of the showstopping island.
A set of four white dining chairs have slender golden frames.
The circular theme continues in the dining area, in the frames of the chairs and two white dining pendant lights.
An amazing installation falls somewhere between being a chair and a piece of art. The casual swirl of gold paint within works perfectly with the other accents in the home, and makes a superb stand alone centrepiece for a blank white wall.
Wooden wall cladding continues the tone of the floor up to eye level and creates a cosy atmosphere amongst the whiteness.
Bedroom pendant lights have been finished off with a strike of gold down each of their oversized white tubular shades.
The rest of the master bedroom decor is a relaxing scheme of soft pale grey and white, where texture does all the talking.
The platform bed is covered in tactile upholstery, against a headboard feature wall imprinted with a uniform pattern of debossed dots.
A gold side table wraps over one deep side of the upholstered platform bed, displaying a large decorative vase.
The fireplace in the bedroom matches the one out in the open plan living area. The flames dance behind a slim vertical pane of glass that has been partially painted in white.
The clothing rails of a walk-in wardrobe peep out from behind a full length mirror. The angular rails have LED lighting built into their undersides to illuminate the garments.
In an ensuite master bathroom, the tiling is of a sophisticated textured design. A strip of golden light runs along the length of a recessed shelf that holds spare face towels and a few select toiletries.
The shower screen has a golden tint to the glass, and a gold shower head can be seen through it.
The gold bathroom vanity unit is a semi-circular design that becomes part of an ellipse when coupled with the arch shaped vanity mirror above it. A gold faucet completes the lustrous look.
A second sleep space displays a more cubic bedroom accent wall, behind a rounded edged bed design.
The dressing chair, which appears to be the Gubi Beetle chair, matches the rounded look of the bed. The seat has been paired with a neat console in a matching grey colourway.
Three minimalist pendant lights hang over the bed at various heights.
A small beige pouffe sits in front of beige window dressings.
The same smooth pale herringbone flooring continues throughout the home.
A bank of shoe storage is lit by LED strip lights in a bespoke closet. A second circular wall chair is mounted nearby.
A utility area has been fitted out with a set of storage cupboards and cubbies to house a washer-dryer machine, an ironing board, fresh linens and laundered clothes. The shelves and doors have all been painted taupe for a tidy tailored finish.
The hue continues over an interior door and upper tiles in a second bathroom scheme.
Gold accents sit comfortably against the rich tone.
A set of slender gold side tables doubling as a plant stand, a neat gold faucet and gold shaving mirrors decorate the small space.
Gold tipped lighting has been incorporated into the modern bathroom vanity.
Other fixtures in the bathroom are white so that gold does not dominate too strongly.
A unique faucet is mounted on white marble tile.

2. Gold finish candle holder
3. Table Lamp With Gold Cage Base
4. Atollo table lamp
5. Gold paper origami pendant

CPU Overloads System an Browser are freezing
rudyfehren last edited by
Hello, together from Germany. I use Vivaldi since the beta version on Gnu Linux Debian /Mint and the following has struck me. Vivaldi takes view extremely a lot of CPU achievement as soon as new Tabs are opened this can lead up to the freezing of the complete system with two open Tabs with nearly 40% of CPU achievement sometimes nearly 80-90% I use except ScriptBlock no enlargements Now my supposition goes there probably in the HTML surface of Vivaldi Browsers lies or the flash plugin for vivaldi sucks Best Regards Rudy
mib2berlin last edited by
Hi, Vivaldi start a thread for each tab, plugin, extension, for itself and some more depends on page.
This cost some memory but CPU usage is nearly ~0% if you do nothing, scrolling for example.
May you have corrupted config or database files resulting from updating the browser since first install.
You can try to move your /home/user/.config/vivaldi-snapshot/Default directory to a different place and restart Vivaldi.
I delete it or the whole Vivaldi directory during beta phase several times, Vivaldi create it new when you start it again.
You can copy your bookmark file back for example, other settings need a few minutes to setup again.
I use Vivaldi on several systems even on my old laptop and have no problems with lagging or freeze.
Opensuse Tumblweed x86_64
CPU Intel T4200 4 GB
GPU Intel GN 965
xf86-video-intel 2.99.917-6.1
Vivaldi 1.0 and latest snapshot (64 bit)
Cheers, mib

Cleared the cache and checked the two updated files. Have included the index page and two updated files.
The p tags are showing in code view, they are in the "Latest school news" section on the index page and are in a cms content area.
If I display source view in power cms and delete all the content so its blank and then add some text followed by enter it still inserts p tags and double spaces additional lines of text.

Cullercoats FC Under-12s made it a hat-trick of wins with a comprehensive home victory against New Fordley in the NEYDL League on Saturday.
The game was played at a high tempo in windy conditions with Cullercoats having the wind advantage in the first half and they made good use of it.
Midfielder Kai Hay opened the scoring with a thunderous shot into the top corner.
Fellow midfielder Harvey Thompson then scored with an excellent left foot volley before substitute striker Jack Tatum made it 3-0 with another stunning long range strike before the break.
The second half was well competed by both teams, but Cullercoats continued to make the running and extended their lead through a second Hay goal, which was created and scored by the pacey wide player.
Skipper Josh Morton extended the lead with a well taken free kick from outside the penalty area.
And Hay had the last say with another individual pacey run down the right which ended with him being fouled in the box. He took the resultant penalty to secure his hat-trick and make the final score 6-0.
Hay also picked up the 'man of the match award following his superb display on a day when the whole squad played their part.
Keeper Bailey Askwith kept a clean sheet for the third game running since signing for Cullercoats.

I would like to ask my fellow Ryan Homes bloggers what your thoughts are about getting an independent inspection. My wife and I didn't really think about it until noting that some of you have gone down that route. Is it really worth getting an independent inspection? How much do they typically cost? What point(s) in the building process should such an independent inspection take place? I would love to hear your opinions and any stories that you might have.
We have built a Ryan Homes Michener II in a development called Sadsbury Park.
We would like to share our experience.

Independent inspection?
7 comments:
YES!!! Get one!! As wonderful as RH is, the homes are still built by men. Men make mistakes. You want to protect your investment!ReplyDelete
I would DEFINITELY get one prior to the pre-dry wall meeting. We did. They found 5 things with our place. Other inspectors have found things too. Usually nothing to major, but things you would want addressed.
Others have also had the inspector come back at pre-settlement walk-through too.
I'm not sure of the cost. We have a family member in the business and they helped us out by doing it for free.
I would recommend getting one. Your PM should be checking all the work done but he is in charge of lots of homes in different neighborhoods, so it is nice to have a second (non-biased) set of eyes check everything. We only had an inspection done pre-closing. It was $500 for the waverly (4100 sq feet). The rate should be lower than an existing home but will vary based on size of home. They not only check structural items, but also run all the appliances to make sure they are properly installed.ReplyDelete
There's a local guy who charges $350. Does this seem like a reasonable price?ReplyDelete
That sounds about right!ReplyDelete
We recommend getting your own inspector. However, we ran into problems with RH accepting an outside inspector. Eventually, we work it out, but at first they didn't want anyone on site prior to pre-settlement. Check out our blog for more info. Just make sure that you discuss it with your RH sales rep and PM that you are interested in an outside inspector. Because we waited, we missed the opportunity to have the inspector inspect the foundation; however, we had the inspector there at pre-drywall. Especially because we had 2 custom request that RH was not familiar with and we felt more comfortable with an outsider inspecting the work to make sure it was done correctly. We paid $125 for the pre-drywall inspection and the pre-settlement walk-thru is $300.ReplyDelete
BD provided a good resource - http://www.nahi.org and we also look at this website for information http://www.ashi.org.
That's great advice. Thank you, everyone.ReplyDelete
We had a pre-dry wall inspection done and will have him come back right before our pre-settlement walkthru. We just paid $299 for the pre-drywall inspection. He didn't seem to focus on the structural as much as I would have liked, but our township inspectors are brutally tough so I am not concerned about that. Most of what our inspector found were cosmetic in nature.ReplyDelete

While discussing GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) or the rules of US accounting at a recent session with numerous international participants, a person asked if America will ever adopt IFRS (the International Financial Reporting Standard). After all, she said, many US public companies operate internationally and more than 100 countries have already adopted some form of IFRS.
In other words, is US accounting actually part of the world?
While FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) and the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) have taken strides toward merging GAAP with IFRS, they aren't there yet and it's unclear when/if the US will get there. Without getting into the nuances of the two standards, it's certain the costs of convergence and change play an important role in the adoption process. And while "past performance does not guarantee future results", if one takes history as a guide, a switch by the US to IFRS anytime soon seems unlikely.
I base that statement on my experience growing up in Ohio during the 1970s. While sitting at a small desk at Campus Elementary school, I learned America planned to adopt something called the "metric" system by the early 1980s. The glorious decade of the 1980s has long come and gone, yet we Americans still stubbornly cling to our inches, pounds, quarts, miles and other confusing, illogical measures. Sure, we've adopted a few metric elements, like two liter bottles, 5k races, gram crackers and 9 millimeter guns, but not the wholesale conversion envisioned by both Presidents Ford and Carter.
In fact, as I told participants, the US remains one of only three countries on Earth yet to adopt the metric system. The other two living in the non-metric world are Myanmar and Liberia. Your guess is as good as mine whether they use IFRS.

"We have recalled him after the team management wanted an additional batsman in the squad," said Chief Selector Faruk Ahmed in an explanation of the latest move. Nafees was the second highest scorer for Bangladesh in the recently concluded three match Test series and struck a confident 64 in the third and Final Test in Kandy.
After getting thrashed in the Test series, Bangladesh will start their one day campaign against the Lankans on July 20 at P Sara Stadium in Colombo.

Friday night's PHeaSt event in Philadelphia was everything!
Friday night, the Philadelphia Navy Yard played host to the biggest (read: best!) culinary event of the season, PHeaSt. (No, seriously, it's gonna' be a tough event to beat.) Food and friends? What more can you want?
PHeaSt is an annual celebration that benefits the Philadelphia Horticultural Society's City Harvest Program — which feeds more than 1,200 Philadelphia families each week during the growing season. (Think about it, that's a lot of people.)
I was amazed by the turn out—the event was completely sold out, and seriously, only the best venues were there. Bank & Burbon, Brulé Catering—who had the best macaroons I've ever had (and the nicest team there), Bryn & Danes—which is a venue I'm very familiar with (obsessed!), and so many other amazing venues served up their best tastings—ever!
In addition to stuffing my face with some of the tastiest… tastings, ever, I fell in love. With a drink. Served by Charlie was a sinner. (Yes, that's the name of the restaurant. They're amazing.) Sadly, I have no idea what was in it—the music was bumpin' and the list of ingredients were… unbelievable. But, it was seriously the best drink I've ever had… twice.
Check out more photos from the event. ; )

- Locally Low-Rank Promoting Reconstruction Strategies for
Accelerated Dynamic MRI Series Applications
Joshua Trzasko (Mayo Clinic)
Several recent works
have suggested that dynamic MRI series reconstructions can be
significantly improved by promoting low-rank (LR) structure in the
estimated image series when it is reshaped into Casorati form (e.g., for
a 2D acquisition, NxNxT series -> N^2xT matrix). When T<< N2, the rank
of the (reshaped) true underlying image may actually be not much less
than T. For such cases, aggressive rank reduction will result in
temporal/parametric blurring while only modest rank reduction will fail
to remove noise and/or undersampling artifact. In this work, we propose
that a restriction to spatially localized operations can potentially
overcome some of the challenges faced by global LR promoting methods
when the row and column dimensions of the Casorati matrix differ
significantly. This generalization of the LR promoting image series
reconstruction paradigm, which we call Locally Low Rank (LLR) image
recovery, spatially decomposes an image series estimate into a
(redundant) collection of overlapping and promotes that each block, when
put into Casorati form, be independently LR. As demonstrated for
dynamic cardiac MRI, LLR-based image reconstruction can simultaneously
provide improvements in noise reduction and spatiotemporal resolution
relative to global LR-based methods be practically realized using
efficient and highly parallelizable computational strategies.
- Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition
Danilo Mandic (Imperial College London)
Recent advances in sensor and data acquisition technologies have brought to light new classes of signals containing typically several data channels. Currently, such signals are almost invariably processed channel-wise, thus, not making use of their full potential. It is, therefore, imperative to design multivariate extensions of the existing nonlinear and nonstationary analysis algorithms, as they are expected to give more insight in to the dynamics and the interdependence between the multiple channels of the signal in hand. To this end, multivariate extensions of empirical mode decomposition algorithm and their advantages with regards to multivariate nonstationary data analysis are presented. Some important properties of such extensions are also explored ,including their ability to exhibit wavelet-like dyadic filter bank structures for white Gaussian noise (WGN), and their capacity to align similar oscillatory modes from multiple channels. Owing to the generality of the proposed methods, an improved multivariate EMD-based algorithm is introduced which solves some inherent problems in the original EMD algorithm. Finally, to demonstrate the potential of the proposed methods, simulations on real world signals (wind, inertial motion data, and RGB images) are presented to support the analysis.
- An Optimization-Based Empirical Mode Decomposition
Boqiang Huang (Universität Paderborn)Angela Kunoth (Universität Paderborn)
In the data analysis community, many recent methods are
based on the so-called Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), and
different methods have been proposed to decompose non-linear and
non-stationary signals sampled on non-uniform grids effectively. The
traditional EMD employs a cubic spline method to interpolate the
envelope based on the extrema of the data. This method may cause
over/under-shootings which is a fundamental drawback since it may
destroy some physical properties of the intrinsic mode functions. In
order to generate strictly mathematically defined envelope, we propose
an optimization-based empirical mode decomposition (OEMD).
We demonstrate how to extend our OEMD method from
one-dimensional signals to multi-dimensional data. We illustrate with
several numerical examples that our method is superior over others
with respect to different criteria like relative errors or
the extraction of texture.
Furthermore, we employ our optimization-based interpolation in
normalization-based instantaneous frequency analyses which show its
potential especially for non-uniform sampled data.
- Using 2D-EEMD to understand African Easterly Waves and their role in initiation and development of tropical storms/hurricanes.
Norden Huang (National Central University)Man-Li Wu (National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA))
We are using the 2D-EEMD to increase our understanding of the
relationships between the
African Easterly Waves and the initiation and development of the
tropical storms/hurricanes over the
Northern Atlantic Ocean.
We are using large scale parameters including zonal and meridional wind,
sea surface temperature,
atmospheric stability parameters, ocean heat capacity, relative
humidity, low level vorticity, and
vertical wind shear to carry out our studies. We will focus on case
studies during July, August, and
September of 2005 and 2006.

- Toward a Real-Time
Implementation of Adaptive and Automated Digital Image Analysis
Nii Attoh-Okine (University of Delaware)
Empirical Mode Decomposition is a multi-resolution data analysis technique that can break down a signal or image into different time-frequency modes which uniquely reflect the variations in the signal or image. The algorithm has gained much attention lately due its performance in a number of applications (especially in climate and biomedical data analysis).
Recently, civil infrastructure managers have begun exploring the potential application of the algorithm to automate the process of detecting cracks in infrastructure images. Unfortunately, the adaptive nature of the algorithm increases its computation cost to an extent that limits a wide practical application of the algorithm.
The approach involves four main steps: Extrema detection, Interpolation, Sifting and Reconstruction. Extrema detection and interpolation consumes about 70% of the computational time. Hence we focus on ways to implement these procedures in parallel by taking advantage of the Matlab Parallel Computing Toolbox.

Opp Shop Tuesday
But the times I did go I found some cute little pieces
Now he is a perfectionist and comes from the building industry {retired now}
Wow and the work he has put in. { I would of just slapped a coat of paint on it}
But he has stripped it back to raw timber, drawn my attention to borers in it ..... something I would not have even looked for { I will now} but he has treated it with turps which he assures me will get rid of them.
Primed it. Taken the whole thing apart and glass out and replaced runners { I thought runners were what you wore on your feet } , I cant wait to see the finished product.

Wow Sharon, you had some good finds at the op shop. I particularly love the beautiful cup, saucer and plate. I have had similar ones passed down to me that mum used to use many years ago.ReplyDelete
You are hopeless Sharon. One to sell, one for me, one to sell, two for me...ReplyDelete
I had a step dad that was a furniture restorer so i saw many examples of broken items with 15 coats of paint enter his workshop and leave looking like they were made yesterday and worth a million bucks. There are many beautiful pieces of furniture in the family. Funny i didnt seem to inherit them but that might have had something to do with the fact i couldnt stand him, and he knew it...
OK, since you are going to shop anyway, please let me know if you come across some individual pie tins or an enamel one for family of 3. The absolute in first world wants is long onion fork. You know the one you use to get pickled onions or gerkins out of jars. They exist, honest, so if you find one, you have a buyer.
I do need advice on how to set up an Ebay shop properly. Hubby has mountains of electronics to sell and i like the idea of things LEAVING the house and not coming back. Im dreaming though if i dont think that he would take the money and buy something else. Hence, if i give stuff away nothing comes back in. Much better.Replies
I know Lynda , I have had a good clean out to opp shop and garage sale, I still need to do more though I think.Delete
I will keep a look out for you. My Dad often sees pie tins there is an awsome antique shop and Smythesdale the lady who owns it gets all sorts of things and her prices are very good, Dad goes there nearly everyday, so I will tell him to keep an eye out as well.
Ebay is easy if my Dad can open a store you definitely can.
If you have a ebay account , go to their site map which is down the bottom then go to ebay stores or selling. Maybe its something Tom might be interested in trying out, there is certainly a good market there.
To get a bit of an idea at what you are selling and if its worth selling on there, type it in and go to competed listings which is down the side and it will tell you what prices that item sold for.
Both my boys are into retail therapy so i try to keep them away from online purchasing as much as possible. Tom doesnt get money yet (he runs about 4 yrs behind his actual age) and still thinks im buying him a Hummer from US for his 18th in two years. The pair of them were discussing Xmas presents last night and apparently my husband agreed to buy him a laptop. We have 6 computers already in the house. No doubt, Hubby will have something in mind for himself for the same value and so feels that if Tom gets this much so should he. WTF. $$$$ Aspie dont concern themselves with retirement plans and paying off mortgages. That's my worry... and i do.Delete
Oh dear Im sorry Im having a giggle um a hummer. I hope you dont want to retire anytime soon. You do certainly have your hands full there. Selling on ebay is not for them as they may buy more than they sell eeek.Delete
Some fab finds. I love that little teacup and saucer set. A real bargain and it will be good to see the dresser when its done.ReplyDelete

"Around the World with Narratives" by Grecia Catalan
My topic was English as a second language. It is a topic that I am very familiar. My first language is Spanish, and learning English is a journey that I still enjoy. I chose this topic after a reading and a discussion in class; we talk about illiterate. This simple word entered my mind, and made me rethink the way I always understood its meaning. Many questions came to my mind. I could think about many examples in which we all are illiterate. The most powerful example was how in a different language we are illiterate. I did not feel the definition given by the dictionary cover its entire meaning. In my project I tried to find a decent meaning, or a meaning that could make sense to me when we talk about illiterate people. In the DALN I found narratives that helped me explained how other people view this term without thinking about it specifically.

The poor long-term live performance of the first generation of value indices indicates that capturing the value premium is not easy. This does not mean, however, that the value premium is beyond the reach of investors. We argue that a value premium still exists, but that harvesting it requires an approach that is much more sophisticated than simply following a straightforward value index.
Once the value effect became known, it did not take long for index providers to introduce indices designed to harvest the value premium. A recent paper by Hsu (2014) finds that their performance has been disappointing. Over the last 10, 20 and 30 years the return of classic value indices is found to be in line with, or even slightly lagging the market. The same picture emerges from the online data library of Professor Kenneth French. In the Robeco research note "Factor strategies need breadth" we observe that the return difference between the Fama-French US large-cap value and growth portfolios has effectively been zero since the mid-1990s. Based on these findings investors might wonder if, perhaps, the value premium has disappeared.
There are various approaches towards successfully harvesting the value premium. The first three points relate to what fundamental investors like to call avoiding 'value traps'. After this we will discuss the use of more effective valuation ratios and increasing the opportunity set of a value strategy.
Fama and French (1992) conjecture that the value premium might be a reward for the risk of financial distress, i.e. bankruptcy risk. Their value strategy, which selects stocks with high book-to-market ratios, indeed tends to pick up a disproportionately large number of financially distressed stocks. The mechanism behind this is that if a company gets into serious trouble, its share price and therefore also its market value will show a sharp decline, and because book values tend to be stickier, the typical result is that the stock becomes considerably more attractive based on its book-to-market ratio.
At Robeco we examined the relation between the value premium and distress risk extensively. The results are described in De Groot and Huij (2015). In a nutshell, we confirm that the Fama-French value strategy based on book-to-market brings along a significant bias towards financially distressed stocks. However, this correlation between financial distress and value does not imply causality. In fact, we find that the value premium is not concentrated in distressed stocks, but present among all stocks. In fact, it even appears to be a bit stronger among the most financially sound companies. The investment implication is that the value premium can be harvested more efficiently by avoiding financially distressed value stocks.
The more negative the recent return on a stock, the more attractive it tends to become on valuation measures. As a result, a portfolio of value stocks typically exhibits negative price momentum. This is an undesirable feature, because there is also abundant evidence for the existence of a momentum premium. Investors can prevent going against the momentum effect by avoiding value stocks with poor momentum and selecting value stocks with favorable momentum instead. In our research note "When factors disagree" we show that the performance of a value strategy is boosted significantly by following this simple idea
The average value stock not only exhibits above-average bankruptcy risk and below-average momentum, it also has below-average profitability, as shown by Novy-Marx (2013). He goes on to show that this is an undesirable feature, because there is also strong evidence for the existence of a profitability premium. Moreover, he finds that a generic value strategy can be enhanced significantly by avoiding value stocks with poor profitability and selecting ones with high profitability instead.
The value measure favored by academics such as Fama and French, the book-to-market ratio, is just one of many ways of measuring if a stock is cheap compared with its intrinsic value. Other measures are the price-to-sales ratio, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and dividend yield. There can also be many variations on a specific measure. For instance, for the earnings in the P/E ratio one could take most recent realized earnings, next year's expected earnings based on consensus analyst forecasts, or average earnings over the last ten years as in Shiller's cyclically adjusted P/E (CAPE). A drawback of earnings-based valuation measures is sensitivity to accounting assumptions with regard to e.g. depreciation and amortization of goodwill, which may be addressed by using value measures based on cash-flow or operating profitability. Another drawback is that P/E ratios may be boosted by increasing the leverage of firms, which might be dealt with by using a measure of earnings before interest expenses compared with total firm value.
In recent years academic studies have begun to appear which examine the performance of some of these alternative valuation metrics. At Robeco we already analyzed dozens of different valuation measures more than a decade ago, and found that, indeed, some are much more effective and robust than others. The most powerful ones were selected for inclusion in our models, and their effectiveness has been confirmed by our live experience since then.
Whereas the Fama-French value factor ceased to be effective in the large-cap segment of the market since the mid-1990s, the same factor applied to the small-cap segment of the market shows no signs of deterioration. Investing in small-caps does have the drawback of poor liquidity, which limits the capacity of a small-cap value strategy. In order to increase the opportunity set for a value strategy, investors do not necessarily need to turn to small-caps though. It is also possible to make more effective use of value opportunities in the large-cap space, by preventing that a relatively small number of the very largest stocks dominate outcomes, which is what happens with the capitalization-weighted portfolios favored by Fama-French.
In the Robeco research note "Factor strategies need breadth" we observe that by simply applying equal-weighting instead of capitalization-weighting the return spread between US large-cap value and growth portfolios already changes from zero to positive over the last thirty years. These insights explain why we seek to combine the liquidity benefits of capitalization weighting with the opportunity benefits of equal weighting, and why we also include liquid off-benchmark mid- and small-cap stocks in the eligible universe of our factor strategies.
International diversification is another way to increase the opportunity set for a value strategy. The online data library of Professor Kenneth French also contains data for a value factor for developed equity markets excluding the US, with data starting in 1990. This international value factor shows a solid value premium, both within the large-cap segment and the small-cap segment of the market, and both using capitalization-weighting and equal-weighting. Fama-French do not cover emerging equity markets, but in our research we find that value factors have also been highly effective there. In short, global diversification helps to generate consistent returns with a value strategy.
At Robeco we incorporate all of these insights into our quantitative approach towards value investing, as we see merit in all of them. Our research illustrates the importance of making these enhancements. For instance, in a recent note titled "The beauty and the beast of value and momentum investing" we find that the return difference between the most and least attractive value stocks amounts to no less than 7% per annum. In our note "Efficient factor investing strategies" we directly compare the Robeco approach towards value investing with a popular smart beta (index) approach, and find a 4% higher return for the Robeco approach. That is the difference between a successful value strategy and a mediocre or outright ineffective one.

Flyover connecting New Town with EM bypass proposed
The state Urban Development department has proposed to set up a flyover connecting the Eastern Metropolitan bypass with New Town. The cost of the project is estimated to be around Rs 500 crore. The proposed flyover will start 200 yards from the northern flank of Parama Island flyover which has been named as Ma flyover by the Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee. Then, it will turn right and will be ultimately connected with Biswa Banga Sarani near Rabindra Tirtha. The survey has been completed and a project report has been submitted to the department. The length of the proposed flyover would be around 7 km. Once it's completed the residents of Rajarhat and South Kolkata bound passengers from airport will take 20 minutes to reach Eastern Metropolitan bypass using the flyover. Attempts have already been made to connect Ma flyover with the AJC Bose Road flyover so that vehicles intending to take Vidyasagar Setu will, take at most 30 minutes to 45 minutes to reach there. CM had instructed the state Urban development and Transport departments to ensure faster movements of vehicles.

This collection of articles from JPGN represent seminal work on the application, safety, and efficacy of the 2 leading anti-TNF agents, infliximab and adalimumab, to assist readers in considering treatment options and further advances in the care of pediatric patients with chronic IBD
Drug development in children and adolescents occasionally is hindered by a hesitance to expose young patients to experimental and untested therapies. A case in point is the application of biologic agents in the management of pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The degree of acceptance of antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents after their introduction as a novel treatment option has ranged from initial enthusiasm to caution resulting from fear of complications such as hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) to approval as part of standard management. In fact, as we gather additional experience and evidence, a trend toward the use of biologic agents as a first-line treatment has emerged.

And the idiots are marching on...
|Muslim girl dances social divide
By John Mary in Malappuram, Kerala
The family of a young Muslim girl in India's southern state of Kerala say they are being shunned by the local mosque committee (mahallu) because she is practising Indian classical dance.
VP Rubiya, 16, came first in Bharatnatyam, Kerala natanam and folk dance competitions at the recent Kerala School Festival.
She also won the dance competition at the Veeran Haji Memorial Higher Secondary School at Morayur in the Muslim-dominated district of Malappuram.
It was Rubiya's 27 points that helped her home district move up from seventh to fifth position at the state school festival.
Now she has an offer from the celebrated Indian dancer Mrinalini Sarabhai's dance academy, Darpana, her father Syed Alavikutty says.
The local mosque committee at Valluvambram, however, is not impressed by Rubiya's feats, says her father, a clerk with a travel agency.
"If she had won prizes in 'oppana' and 'mappila pattu' [traditional Muslim art forms], she would have been flooded with gifts by now. The mahallu leaders would never openly admit that it is her dance that makes them treat us as virtual outcasts," says Mr Alavikutty.
Rubiya, who started learning music and dance when she was three, is busy preparing for school examinations due next month. But she snatches time in between for stage performances at local temples.
She has no choice because stage shows help her with some extra income to support her and her parents, as well as an elder brother and a younger sister.
"My fee ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 rupees ($22 to $66). I have performed at more than 50 temples," says Rubiya.
She has been fortunate to be trained by dance gurus like RLV Anand, who has never taken a rupee from her other than what she offers as gifts.
Both he and Bharatanjali Sasi, Rubiya's Kerala natanam dance teacher, even buy her costumes for her competitions.
"I'm confident that she will bring us laurels. That's all we need," says Mr Anand, extolling the virtues of the rare find from a community that still fights shy of classical dances.
Teachers' favourite
Rubiya is the darling of her teachers and friends at the Veeran Haji high school.
"God is one. When I pay ritualistic obeisance through mudras [hand signs], I am imploring not just the Hindu gods but the supreme creator, which we call by different names," she says.
It is the Hindu worship content in the classical dances that her family says has driven a chasm between her and conservative elements in the community.
KP Raihemath, a teacher who takes her to competitions, says there is nothing un-Islamic in Bharatnatyam dance.
"If she were my own daughter, I would still do the same."
Another teacher CP Sheena says Rubiya is a role model for her peers.
A class topper and a National Cadet Corps cadet, Rubiya has already scored 30 bonus marks which would enhance her exam scores and improve her chances of joining a professional course after secondary school.
At the moment, however, a professional degree is not what she wants to do.
"I will practice and excel as a classical dancer. My ambition is to do research in dance and contribute to society in my humble way," she says.
Membership of a particular mosque committee for Muslim families depends on where they live.
"If you are not a mahallu member, the kazi [priest] will not bless your child's marriage. Worse, you are even denied a slot in the local cemetery," said Mr Alavikutty, who has also dabbled in acting with a troupe in Kerala.
'Heavy price'
Rubiya's mother Amina says she does not regret sending her daughter to dance.
"But we had to pay a heavy price. I have even survived a bout of cancer only after well-wishers sent us money for treatment. But the parish leaders ensured that all official help bypassed us," she says, wiping her tears.
"If I die today, where will my husband bury me? Would the parish endorse my daughter's marriage?"
Mohammed Unni Haji, secretary of the Valluvambram mosque committee, denies they are against Rubiya's dancing.
"We do not object to her artistic persuasions. If Rubiya and her family, living in a rented house, shift to a house on the road under our jurisdiction, we will admit them."
Local politician Nalakathu Asain says the mosque committee leaders are not speaking the truth.
"This talk about jurisdiction is an alibi. There are several families outside the Valluvambram jurisdiction that enjoy mahallu membership," he says.
Mr Alavikutty says that his cousins who live outside Valluvambram are members of the mosque committee.
But the family is not deterred by this.
"The parish doors might never open for us, but the world is not too small for the brave," he says.

Few could argue that addiction is an epidemic that afflicts the entire world. The U.S.A, long thought to be one of the most advanced nations on earth, shows drug and alcohol abuse statistics raising on a significant scale. According to reports, over 20 million people nationwide suffer from drug and alcohol abuse issues. Perhaps worse, the cost of treatment and incarceration run nearly $700 billion annually for taxpayers.
In Hip Hop alone many of the latest artist glorify drug abuse and never really speak on the subject. Luckily today we get the latest visuals from Slaine and Termanology, that touch on just that subject, giving you the perspective of seeing things through the eyes of the addict.
Check out the visuals "Life Of A Drug Addict" below and afterwards go pick up or stream your copy of "Slaine Vs Termanology: Anti Hero" Here.

A carnival near Hagerstown's Fairgrounds Park and free movies in a downtown parking lot may be coming in the next few months, according to separate plans endorsed by the Hagerstown City Council on Tuesday.
Both activities are being organized by the Downtown Chapter of Neighborhoods First, a neighborhood organization.
The carnival is scheduled for July 31 through Aug. 5 on land in front of the Hagerstown Ice & Sports Complex, which is at the fairgrounds.
The free movies would run weekly from the end of May through September.
Downtown neighborhood group members Ted and Vicki Bodnar presented both plans to the mayor and City Council on Tuesday.
Vicki Bodnar said the carnival will have 24 rides, food and games.
The neighborhood group is not putting up any money for the carnival and will get a percentage of profits above a certain level, she said.
Ted Bodnar said the carnival could raise as much as $50,000 for the group. The group wants to use money raised to buy properties, renovate and resell them. The group has also discussed purchasing the vacant Fairgrounds Entrance Building and renovating it.

Kirsten Dunst Just Sold Her Dreamy, Boho SoHo Loft for $4.4M
After over a year on the market, actor-director-producer Kirsten Dunst has just sold her charmingly boho penthouse loft in Hudson Square—at the intersection of New York's coveted Soho and Tribeca neighborhoods—for $4.4 million.
The 477 Washington Street #PHW (aka 533 Canal Street) was formerly owned by Dunst and is the same vintage-inspired, two-bedroom, two-bathroom loft that the celebrity has had listed on the market since February 2017. Agent Laura Weinkam of Corcoran represented the buyers.
Originally listing it for $5 million, and originally purchased in 2007 for $3 million, Dunst had been renting the funky unit for $12,500 per month since 2014—when she began filming Fargo, during which she met her now-fiancé and father of her first baby, Jesse Plemons. The couple has been living between Plemons' hometown of Austin, Texas, and Dunst's home in Toluca Lake, California, since 2016.
The bright and artsy loft with East River views was gut renovated by Dunst in the time since she bought it, and the upgrades are absolutely swoon-worthy: exposed brick, wide-plank custom wood floors, and 11-foot ceilings throughout; a cozy open-plan entertaining area with a "catalog perfect" chef's kitchen, featuring Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and marble countertops; and a dreamy master bath with a freestanding vintage claw foot tub, separate glassed shower, and custom mosaic tiled floors.
According to Curbed, Dunst isn't the only celeb to call this particular eight-unit building home: R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe once lived there, in an apartment formerly owned by Casey Affleck, who originally bought it from director Gus Van Sant.
It's unclear if new mom Dunst, a New Jersey native, is just upgrading to a larger pad more befitting the lifestyle of new parents or if the couple plan to raise their baby boy outside the city. Dunst is currently starring in "Woodshock," the first film from fashion designer sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte—who also creative directed Dunst's maternity photos (and who are rumored to be designing her wedding dress, as well).

NCAA Basketball: Busting Brackets' opening top 25
After a week of high-octane NCAA basketball, there is quite a bit of movement in our first top 25 of the year.
Has anyone had a heart palpations yet? This season has been full of tight contests and stunning finishes worthy of late March, not mid-November. A top 25 team went down on opening night and several games have gone right down to the wire. There will definitely be some shakeups in projected contenders in the short term.
That said, we haven't learned a great deal about some teams. Squads like Michigan State and Duke are battling injuries that are preventing them from hitting their ceiling. In the same vein, conference contenders like Syracuse and UCLA have skated past subpar competition. We won't know squads' true talent levels for a week or two more.
That shouldn't stop us from rankings though! The season is barely two weeks old, but there is still plenty to digest and unpack. Based on what I've seen already this November, I have no doubt we are just glimpsing what the season holds.
Just missed our rankings
Miami Hurricanes – Miami doesn't have the firepower of a year ago, but The U is still 3-0 in the early going. They are top 25 in both adjusted offense and defense, but among the slower tempo teams in the nation (259th). We will wait to see how this squad handles ACC play before making any bold statements.
Michigan State Spartans – Had Sparty not gotten a dubious narrow victory over Florida-Gulf Coast, they wouldn't be on this list at all. MSU is just 2-2 after opening as one of the top Big Ten contenders. They have some injuries to depth pieces, but this team is not producing consistently outside of All-American recruit Miles Bridges.
Wichita State Shockers – Once again, Gregg Marshall has this team looking ready for a deep March run. Watch this team closely as we move forward, especially throughout the Battle 4 Atlantis this week.
San Diego State Aztecs – Coach Steve Fisher's team was drubbed in Spokane, but rebounded against Cal. The Mountain West favorites are superb defensively, but might need to score some more points to truly crack the top 25.
Cincinnati Bearcats – A narrow loss to Atlantic-10 power Rhode Island drops the Bearcats for now, but a victory against Big Ten sleeper Penn State keeps Mick Cronin's squad in the mix. Watch a December 1st matchup at high-powered Iowa State to get a better feel for this team.
25. Texas Longhorns
The Longhorns looked shaky in their shorthanded victory over Incarnate Word on opening night, and have gone just 2-2, with two recent losses to Northwestern and Colorado, since. The young Texas rotation is looking like I expected early this season; they have all the talent, but relatively little experience to draw upon against high-major opponents.
Sophomore Tevin Mack is tops in scoring for coach Shaka Smart's team. He is averaging 13.5 points and 2.8 rebounds in just over 25 minutes per game. Classmate Kerwin Roach Jr. is next at 11.3 points and 4.3 rebounds. Freshman Andrew Jones might be the surprise of the six double-figure scorers at 10.4 points, along with 4.6 boards and two assists an evening. However, this Texas team hasn't faced tough challenges yet and are shooting just 29 percent from deep.
24. Florida State Seminoles
Florida State is a serious dark horse in the ACC this year. The 4-0 Noles don't have a truly impressive win other than over Big South favorite Winthrop, but that should diminish what this team is doing early. Watch their next two games against Temple and Minnesota to see if they are the real deal.
The duo of Dwayne Bacon (17.5 points, 3.8 rebounds) and Xavier Rathan-Mayes (9.5 points, 5.5 assists) are as lethal of a duo as the ACC might try to contain this season.
10 FSU players are averaging at least six points an evening right now, but Jonathan Isaac has been the early stud. The 6'10" freshman is contributing 9.8 points and 5.8 boards per game, and is hitting 47 percent of his threes. Keep an eye on this balanced Seminole attack.
23. Butler Bulldogs
Butler is a beneficiary of Texas losing. The Bulldogs are 4-0 heading into match-ups with Vanderbilt and Utah. The Bulldogs keep chugging along as one of the steadiest programs in college basketball.
Junior Kelan Martin has been the star early with 16.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. The team is also getting key contributions from freshman Kamar Baldwin and transfers Tyler Lewis (NC State) and Avery Woodson (Memphis). Butler is currently a top 25 team in both adjusted offense and defense, so it would appear that the young team is gelling right now.
22. Rhode Island Rams
Despite a narrow loss to championship contender Duke, Rhode Island has looked tremendous at 4-1 thus far. They've gutted out a near-upset against Brown and took down a talented Cincinnati squad for their early signature victory. This team is for real. Their next big game is Ohio Valley titan Belmont.
E.C. Matthews has returned from knee injury with a vengeance. The junior guard is torching opponents with 17.4 points on 55 percent shooting (48 percent from downtown), while grabbing four rebounds a night as well. Fellow perimeter scorers Jared Terrell, Kuran Iverson and Jarvis Garrett are propelling Rhode Island to new heights. Don't sleep on the Rams come March; they are easily talented enough to make a Sweet 16 appearance.
21. Baylor Bears
Baylor has looked superb thus far this season while trying to replace three starters. They dominated an Oregon squad that was missing its best player, but still had enough in the tank to overcome a very good Florida Gulf Coast squad. VCU and Xavier are still up for non-conference tests.
Miami transfer Manu Lecomte has looked as good as advertised. The diminutive point is averaging 16.7 points, 7.0 assists and 2.3 steals an evening. He leads the team in those three categories.
But the real surprise has been redshirt JUCO acquisition Jo Lual-Acuil. The 7-footer has dominated in the post, averaging 10.7 points, 10.0 boards and 5.3 blocks per game.
Baylor has shocked a lot of people to this point with strong play through three wins. Don't be surprised if they rise in the standings.
20. Iowa State Cyclones
Iowa State doesn't move up a great deal after easily defeating Mount St Mary's and The Citadel. They still did plenty to avoid losing though and should feel confident heading into a stout tournament this coming week in Orlando. Miami and Gonzaga are just two possible opponents the Cyclones could face.
All-American point guard Monte Morris has paced the Cyclones with 18.6 points, five rebounds and eight assists an evening. The Cyclones have two other double-figure scorers in Matt Thomas and Naz Mitrou-Long. The two senior guards are chipping 15 and 17.3 points respectively.
The Cyclones defending better that last season thus far and are getting far more bench play. However, stiffer competition looms for the Big 12 squad in Ames.
19. West Virginia Mountaineers
West Virginia is similar to Iowa State; they have knocked off the teams they should to this point, but have faced weak competition that includes Mount St Mary's. WVU does have an enticing matchup with Virginia to look forward to in early December. That will give us fans a true look at what each squad brings to the table.
Stretch forward Nathan Adrian has paced Press Virginia to this point. The junior has a stat-stuffing line of 13.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. He is also hitting 42 percent of his threes through the early going.
Five Mountaineers are averaging double-figures, but none more surprising than redshirt freshman Lamont West. West is putting up 10.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in just under 14 minutes a game. Bob Huggins' squad again looks like one of the stronger contenders in the Big 12.
18. Purdue Boilermakers
Purdue looked extremely promising in their second game, a close loss to defending champion Villanova. They obviously didn't win that game, but the Boilermakers are dominating opponents with their inside talent. This is a team capable of contender status in the Big Ten Conference this season.
The big man trio of Vincent Edwards, Caleb Swanigan and Isaac Haas has crushed opponents early this year. They are combining for 51 points and 22 rebounds an evening. Haas has also swatted nearly two shots a game while torching the net with 73 percent shooting.
Freshman Carsen Edwards, returning shooting Dakota Mathias and Michigan transfer Spike Albrecht are doing an admirable job filling in around the perimeter and distributing the ball. These Boilermakers are looking strong as they prep for a showdown with Louisville at the end of November.
17. Creighton Bluejays
Greg McDermott's team has put together the type of group that can legitimately challenge Villanova in the Big East. The Bluejays have great wins over then number nine ranked Wisconsin, ACC sleeper NC State and SEC upstarts Ole Miss. They have minor tests at Nebraska and at Arizona State before their rugged conference schedule kicks in.
Former Kansas State Wildcat Marcus Foster is crushing it thus far in Omaha. The junior is scoring 18.0 points a night along with 2.2 assists. He is also hitting threes at an astounding 51 percent! That sort of shooting ability could win him some big awards by the season's end if he keeps it up.
Senior guard Maurice Watson Jr. is nearly putting up a double-double (12.6 points, 9.2 assists), but redshirt freshman Justin Patton is an incredibly efficient addition. His 10.6 points, 5.0 rebounds line is nice, but his 72 percent shooting rate has people talking early on.
16. UCLA Bruins
UCLA and Steve Alford have lived up to the early hype. The Bruins are 4-0 over four in-state mid-majors. Their first real test is at Kentucky on December 3. That will likely be our first real look at this team's ceiling.
The competition hasn't been stellar, but the freshman talent sure has. Forward T.J. Leaf and point guard Lonzo Ball are both averaging double-doubles or close to them. Leaf averages 20.3 points and 10 boards, while Ball is up to 16.3 points and 9.0 assists per game.
Bryce Alford is still stellar at 18.8 points per game (58 percent from three), along with the rest of the offensive power. They just need to play better competition before they are true Pac-12 contenders.
15. Syracuse Orange
Few teams are benefiting as much from transfers as the Orange are. Andrew White (Nebraska) and John Gillon (Colorado State) are two of their top scorers so far. Their first big challenge comes next week when they travel to Madison to face off with top 25 Wisconsin.
As I said, White and Gillon are two of team's top scoring options as graduate transfers. The duo is combining for almost 30 points an evening so far. Tyler Roberson is the third double-figure scorer at 12.0 points. He is also tied for third in rebounds with 4.7.
Stretch forward Tyler Lydon is putting up 8.3 points, 6.3 boards and 2.3 blocks per game. This Syracuse squad looks aggressive and is ready for a run at the ACC crown.
14. Saint Mary's Gaels
The nation's most efficient squad last season is still playing great offense so far this year. The Gaels are tied for 13th in team shooting percentage during their 4-0 start. The team has a game coming against solid mid-major UAB. That is their biggest test before opening WCC play.
Jock Landale is one of the most improved players this season and leads the Saint Mary's attack. The 6'11" junior is on a tear, putting up 21.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. He is also one of the nation's best shooters at 75 percent.
Two other Gaels are averaging double-figures. This team has no real holes and has a real chance to win the WCC regular season and tournament titles. I love Saint Mary's potential.
13. Oregon Ducks
Oregon has stumbled a bit to 3-2 through the first part of the year. My personal pick to win it all got beat down at Baylor and were downed by Georgetown in Maui. Star Dillon Brooks missed the first three games, so this team needs a couple more games to really hit their stride.
Chris Boucher has been the man in Eugene so far. He has a stat line of 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game. While Brooks reintegrates with the team, Boucher is everything the Ducks need anchoring both ends of the floor.
Junior forward Jordan Bell and guards Payton Pritchard and Tyler Dorsey round out the majority of Oregon's offensive attack. I still love this team to win it all, but they need to recover from their early doldrums to make me confident in my pick again.
12. Xavier Musketeers
The 5-0 Musketeers are another Big East power team looking to dominate this season. Chris Mack's school has had several close wins, including an OT thriller against Mizzou, but they have handled the adversity. They hit the road in early December to visit Baylor and Colorado in what should fantastic games.
Trevon Bluiett has been a star since deciding not to go pro. The junior swingman is averaging 18.6 points, six rebounds and 2.2 assists in 35 minutes of work. His leadership on and off the court has him in line for Big East POY right now.
J.P Macura and Edmond Sumner have also been terrific as scorers and distributors; they are both dishing out 3.6 assists a night. I will also give special mention to Norfolk State transfer RaShid Gaston, who is leading the team in rebounding and is tied for the lead in blocks.
11. Wisconsin Badgers
Wisconsin looks like one of the most complete teams in the country right now. They took an early loss to Creighton, but the Badgers still sit at 4-1 going into what should be a thrilling game against North Carolina.
The balanced Badgers have senior Bronson Koenig leading the way. He is putting up 17.6 points and 3.2 rebounds early on. He is scoring more, but shooting worse; Koenig hit 39 percent from deep last year and just 28 percent to this point.
Ethan Happ and Nigel Hayes are the other two double-figure scorers in Madison. This team is doing its best to grind teams out with top 15 ratings on both ends and one of the most patient attacks in college hoops.
10. Louisville Cardinals
The Cardinals have had an easy time getting to 3-0. They haven't had a win by less than 30 points. But that could change against 2-0 Old Dominion on November 23.
Jaylen Johnson has been the show so far for Louisville. The junior from Ypsilanti, MI has contributed 15.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. He is a stunningly efficient, shooting 70 percent from the field.
Three other Cards are averaging double-figures, Deng Adel, Donovan Mitchell and freshman star V.J. King. This team is crushing opponents early with the 2nd best adjusted defense. They need to play better teams, but they are easily a top four or five ACC program.
9. Arizona Wildcats
This Arizona team is looking dangerous out of the Pac-12 despite some early injury set backs. Freshman Ray Smith left the team after suffering his third ACL tear in three years. They have also not had the services of expected scoring leader Allonzo Trier, who is dealing with eligibility concerns.

The Wildcats are still 4-0, however, and are just 10 days away from a showdown with Gonzaga in Tuscon.
Sean Miller hasn't really needed the missing players so far with three stud freshman taking control. Lauri Markkanen is putting up 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, while Kobi Simmons and Rawle Alkins are adding 12.0 and 11.3 points, respectively.
Parker Jackson-Cartwright is the leader upperclassmen with 10.3 points and 5.8 assists. Arizona is capable of running through the Pac-12, but it will be interesting to see how things unfold in conference play.
8. Gonzaga Bulldogs
Was there really any doubt Gonzaga would be so good again despite losing two interior stars to the NBA? The early competition has just San Diego State as true test, but the Bulldogs crushed the Aztecs en route to a 3-0 start. They host Arizona on December 3 and in-state Washington on the 7th.
Przemek Karnowski has rebounded nicely from a back injury that limited him to just five games last year. The 7'1″ Poland native leads the team in scoring and rebounding at 14.7 and 7.0. He is also the leading shot blocker with four blocks per game so far.
Freshman Zach Collins is putting up 14.0 and 6.0, but transfers are again a big story in Spokane. Nigel Williams-Goss (Washington), Jordan Mathews (Cal) and Johnathan Williams (Missouri) are all scoring in double-figures. This might be Mark Few's most balanced team in years; watch out.
7. Virginia Cavaliers
Austin Nichols' dismissal from this team could hurt down the road, but for now the Cavaliers are still a quality contender in a packed ACC race. The Cavs are 4-0 after crushing Grambling State, but have three interesting home games against Iowa, Ohio State and West Virginia over the next 10 days.
Marial Shayok has come out of nowhere to lead Tony Bennett's crew. He is putting up 12.5 points through four games after averaging just 4.3 last season. Freshman Kyle Guy is next at 11.0 points and promising junior Darius Thompson is at 9.8 points after that.
Senior leader London Perrantes isn't dominating the scoring column at eight points a night, but his steady distribution (4.3 assists) is steering the ship in Norfolk. Virginia will be fine without Nichols in the long run.
6. Indiana Hoosiers
Indiana scored their first signature win on opening night against Kansas. They then rolled through UMass-Lowell and Liberty before a stunning upset at Fort Wayne. The loss definitely hurts, but Indiana is still one of the best teams in the nation. The 3-1 Hoosiers have their next big battle in Bloomington against powerhouse North Carolina.

James Blackmon Jr. looks recovered from a mid-season knee injury as he leads the Hoosiers in scoring. The junior is torching the twine at 20.5 points on 53 percent shooting (47 percent from three) while also grabbing seven boards and dishing out just over two assists an evening.
Thomas Bryant anchors the middle at 13.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, while OG Anunoby is turning into a defensive terror. Anunoby is filling the stat sheet with 9.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game.
The lack of a consistent floor general might have been exposed against Fort Wayne. However, this team will compete for a Big Ten title yet again.
5. Kansas Jayhawks
I know Kansas lost to Indiana, but their fortitude in taking down the shorthanded Blue Devils has me higher on the Jayhawks for now. Few teams have had a harder first couple games than KU, but they still sit at 4-1 after wins over Duke and then mid-major powers Siena and UAB.
Frank Mason III is an early favorite for National POY with his initial numbers. The senior is contributing 21.6 points on 51 percent shooting along with 4.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.6 steals.
Freshman Josh Jackson has also been nearly as good as advertised with 14.4 points (56 percent), 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game. My only problem is a lack of a consistent, proven front court guy. Carlton Bragg Jr. is scoring almost nine points a night on 59 percent shooting, but had just three points in their most recent victory over Georgia. The Big 12 has competitors, but the conference crown is still KU's to lose.
4. Duke Blue Devils
The Blue Devils started out as everyone's early title favorite, but injuries caused this team to lose a heartbreaker to Kansas and dropped them a tad in our top 25. Coach K's team is still 4-1 after a nice victory over Atlantic 10 favorite Rhode Island though.
Five players are scoring in double-digits with Luke Kennard leading the way. The sophomore has averaged 18.2 points on 55 percent shooting (52 percent from three), along with six rebounds and 3.6 assists.
Freshman Frank Jackson is second on the team, with 15.6 points, and polarizing Grayson Allen is third at 15.0. The team's real glue has come from senior Amile Jefferson, who is putting up a double-double at 13.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game. Duke will be unbelievably scary when they get Marques Bolden, Jayson Tatum and Harry Giles healthy.
3. North Carolina Tar Heels
North Carolina looks as strong as any team in the nation this year. They have rolled to a 6-0 start while winning by an average of 31 points an evening. They have match-ups against Big Ten contenders Wisconsin on November 23 and at Indiana on November 30.
Juniors Joel Berry II and Justin Jackson have been the big one-two punch so far. They are combining for 32 points, nine rebounds and almost eight assists per game. The front court trio of Isaiah Hicks, Kennedy Meeks and Tony Bradley are all averaging double-figures as well and each have snagged over five boards per game thus far. There isn't much of a hole anywhere on this team right now to believe they can't make a major run in March.
2. Villanova Wildcats
The defending national title team has come out ready to protect their crown. The Wildcats are 5-0 with tough wins over Purdue, Western Michigan and Central Florida. Their biggest remaining non-conference test is on December 10 at home against ACC dark horse Notre Dame.
Josh Hart has been the star of the show, as he is averaging 19.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He is shooting 57 percent from the field, including 42 percent from deep.
Teams just can't stop him right now; they can only hope to contain him. Fellow returnees Jalen Brunson, Kris Jenkins and Mikal Bridges are also doing solid work through the first couple of weeks.
Fordham transfer Eric Paschall has added a gritty punch as a stretch four. He is averaging 8.8 points on 44 percent shooting. Don't be surprised if Jay Wright leads Villanova to another Big East title and a deep run into March Madness again.
1. Kentucky Wildcats
Kentucky tops our first top 25 of the year. The Wildcats have looked staggeringly good through four victories. Their signature win to this point was a 69-48 drubbing of Michigan State. John Calipari's freshmen continue to produce as three first year players are amongst the team's top five scorers.
However, it is sophomore Isaiah Briscoe headlining the roster with his stat line of 19.7 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. He is shooting an excellent 55 percent from the field.
Point guard De'Aaron Fox is in the top 20 nationally for assists per game and Malik Monk is sniping threes at a 43 percent rate. Kentucky should roll through the rest of its nonconference schedule, but watch December 3rd. UCLA visits Rupp Arena in what could be a battle of top 10 teams by then.

Former Managing Director of the defunct Nigeria Airways, Jani Ibrahim, is said to be warming up for the governorship race in Kwara State. He is said to have mentioned the idea to quite a number of his friends and associates. He is said to be pursuing this ambition on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which has torn into factions in the state.
Surprisingly, those who should rally round Ibrahim are said to be taken aback by his ambition, which many of them see as nothing more than a mere illusion. But the Offa-born former Nigeria Airways boss is getting things fixed ahead of the battle for the party's governorship ticket.
Those allegedly eyeing the ticket include Chief John Dara, Dele Belgore, Prof. Shuaib Oba Abdul Raheem, Senator Simeon Ajibola and Senator Suilaman Ajadi. Jani is the owner of Lubcon Oil, with factories in Nigeria, Ghana and Ethiopia.
