If somebody with solid season numbers is available on waivers this time of year, you can almost assume that something is awry under the hood. Every team in your league has had to deal with injuries and poor performance at this point, plucking whoever they felt was the best fill-in at the time. How could a decent player have escaped notice until now?
The answer is faulty analysis. Most fantasy owners know the basics of metrics such as BABIP and HR/FB, but lack the nuanced knowledge to go beyond regressing everything to the league average. For example, there are obvious red flags with both Michael A. Taylor and Matt Olson at a glance. They may be able to help you over the final weeks regardless.

The Fantasy Jury is Out
Michael A. Taylor (OF, WAS) 13% Owned
Taylor has provided a little bit of everything in 2017, posting a .270/.318/.486 line with 15 HR and 14 SB in 360 PAs. Fantasy owners love players with power and speed, especially if their batting average isn't a toxic pill. Why is he available in so many leagues?
Owners are probably looking at Taylor's 19.5% HR/FB and concluding that his power is a fluke. It isn't. Taylor's career HR/FB over 1,151 PAs is 16.8%, suggesting that he always had above average power. Statcast data supports this assertion, as his average airborne exit velocity (94.9 mph) is both considerably higher than league average and nearly identical to the 94.1 mph he averaged last year. Taylor has improved his Brls/BBE (9.3% vs. 7.6% last year), but his fly balls have always been productive.
FB% is also more predictive of power growth than HR/FB, and Taylor is lifting the ball more often this year than he ever has before (35% FB% vs. 29.6% last year). He's not a fly ball hitting machine by any means, but a league average FB% is finally allowing him to produce the power numbers owners wanted from him since 2014. This is a 25 HR profile over a full season.
Other owners are probably scoffing at his .357 BABIP, a number that screams fluke at the top of its lungs. While it is destined to decrease, it won't be as bad as some might think. His career BABIP is .328, suggesting that he should be expected to run an elevated figure. The biggest difference is his ground balls, which have a BABIP of .337 against a career mark of .283. His exit velocity on the ground is unchanged (81 mph this year, 81.1 last), and he is pulling them at his usual rate (63.3% vs. 64.3% career). He's been a little lucky this year, but his grounders have always been good.
His LD% (20.5%) is actually lower than his career average (22.6%), providing some BABIP upside to counteract a loss of production on the ground. The increased FB% hurts his projected BABIP a little too, but he managed to increase his fly balls without hitting more pop-ups. In fact, his 9.1% IFFB% matches his career rate perfectly. Taylor is not a true talent .360 BABIP player, but his BABIP should be higher than most.
His 30.6% K% is bad, especially considering that he does well with balls in play. The underlying 15.1% SwStr% is ugly, so he's likely to continue whiffing at an alarming rate. This is the biggest weakness in Taylor's current profile, but at least he has a reasonable eye (31.3% chase rate). As word gets around that his power is real, Taylor is likely to earn more walks (6.7% BB% this year) to go with his Ks.
Fantasy owners like when Taylor walks because it gives him a chance to use his legs. Taylor is 14-for-19 in SB attempts this season, a success rate of around 74%. This should allow him to keep running, putting Taylor in the exclusive club of plausible 20/20 threats. The Nationals have been hitting him in the bottom half of the order, but he bounces around enough to conclude that he at least has a shot to end up in a more favorable position for counting stats going forward.
Taylor's K% makes his batting average a potential liability, but at least one team in every league is probably punting the category by now anyway. His power and speed are both real, making him a criminally underowned fantasy asset.
Verdict: Champ
Matt Olson (1B/OF, OAK) 25% Owned
This rookie has been pounding baseballs, slashing .252/.325/.583 with 15 HR in just 154 PAs at the major league level. He hit .272/.367/.568 with 23 homers in 343 PAs at Triple-A before his promotion, numbers that fall well short of his current production. This problem is exasperated if you look at earlier campaigns, as Olson hit .235/.335/.422 with 17 HR in 540 PAs at Triple-A last year and .249/.388/.438 with 17 dingers in 585 PAs at Double-A in 2015. He clubbed 37 big flies at High-A in 2014, but that's a lot of years and levels ago. Can Olson be trusted as a fantasy slugger?
Early indications suggest that Olson is a better power hitter now than he ever was on the farm. His average airborne exit velocity is 97.8 mph this year, ranking seventh in all of baseball among players with at least 70 batted balls. Olson's 32.5% Pull% on fly balls makes it easier to get one out. He also has an above average rate of Brls/BBE of 12.8%, suggesting a knack for combining elite exit velocity with ideal launch angles to produce power. Nobody has a true talent 37.5% HR/FB, but Olson's will probably remain above 20% if he keeps hitting the ball like this. For reference, he posted a 21.9% HR/FB at Triple-A this year.
Olson has a high power floor thanks to the sheer quantity of fly balls he hits. His FB% is 43.5% at the MLB level, a number that fits perfectly with the rates he posted at Triple-A this year (49.8%), last year (40.8%), and at Double-A (44.4%). The sheer volume of flies will produce viable power numbers even if his HR/FB falls back to his Double-A level (11.6%).
The extreme fly ball profile likely dooms Olson to a below average BABIP, but he may still be able to improve upon his current .253. He isn't hitting liners at all (17.4% LD%, 16.1% at Triple-A), but posted normal LD% numbers at Triple-A last year (22.5%) and Double-A the year before (20.2%). This suggests that he may hit liners at a league average rate going forward.
His .194 BABIP on grounders also doesn't make much sense. He has faced a shift in 66 of 79 opportunities, but has fared well against it with a .273 average vs. a .154 mark when it is not in play. You would think he's pulling a ton of grounders considering his Pull% on flies, but he's only pulling 55.6% of them. That's not really high enough for the shift to work. His grounders also have reasonable exit velocity behind them (84.8 mph), so he should be able to approach league average production on the ground.
Like Taylor, Olson has a hard time making contact. His 29.2% K% seems high for his underlying 13.7% SwStr%, but a terrible Z-Contact% of 79.1% will ensure he Ks until he can hit strikes. His eye is plus (8.4% BB%, 29.5% chase rate), and his minor league resume suggests that it could be plus-plus. He walked 13.1% of the time during both of his Triple-A seasons, and his 17.9% BB% at Double-A was even better. He struck out too much on the farm too, posting a 24.2% K% at Triple-A this year, 24.4% there last year, and 23.8% at Double-A in 2015. Those numbers aren't quite as bad as his MLB performance though, so there is hope.
Olson's 11 games in the outfield give him multi-position eligibility, and the RBIs will come as long as he continues hitting fifth. His MLB sample is small, so it's possible that his peripherals will not remain this strong as he plays more games. The upside is really high though, making the 23-year-old an intriguing lottery ticket for any owner looking to make something happen over the final stretch of the season.
Verdict: Champ

Campaign of the Month: January 2008
A Deadly Affair
Fara Chukulka
Old Orc Oracle
Fara is an old, eyeless orc oracle. He doesn't get many visitors by choice and stays well hidden in Pact's subterranean Grand Theater. He is protected by a large group of goblins, orcs, and half-orcs.
Fara came to Pact many years ago after receiving a vision. He stayed waiting for the next promised vision. It is his belief that LiAndra got that vision instead. In the time he spent waiting, he assembled a very large collection of scrolls pertaining to the prophesies concerning Pact's future.
He has given LiAndra full access to his collection to help decipher the visions.

Electrical cords can make a room look messy and unkempt. They can also dangerous, especially if you have pets or young children who like to chew on things. An easy way to hide your electrical cords and protect your family is to create your own cord covers.
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
- PVC pipe
- Fabric
- Sewing markers
- Needle and thread (or sewing machine)
- Clear elastic band
Video of the Day
Measure the length and width of the cord you plan to cover.
Cut a length of fabric and another of PVC pipe according to your measurements. Wrap the fabric around the pipe and cut off any excess. Give yourself 2 to 3 inches of extra fabric to work with when you start sewing.
Mark the fabric where you will sew. Do this by either turning the fabric inside out and marking it with a pen or by using needle markers.
Sew the marked line with by hand or with a sewing machine. If you're sewing manually, use the whipstitch method (looping the thread all the way to the end).
Trim any excess fabric and place your new electrical cord cover over the cord. Secure with a clear elastic band or a rubber band at each end.

Math coprocessor
Alternatively referred to as a numeric coprocessor or a floating-point coprocessor, the math coprocessor is an optional processor add-on for the Intel 8086, 80386 and 80486 processors that allowed a computer to perform mathematical calculations more efficiently and faster, increasing the overall speed of a computer in many places. Today, all computer processors are released with a math coprocessor incorporated onto the processor. Below is a listing of earlier computer processors and their coprocessors.
80487SX, DX2/Overdrive
Included FPU
A high-capacity floppy disk drive developed by Iomega Corporation. Zip disks are slightly larger than conventional floppy disks, and about twice as thick. They can hold 100 or 250 MB of data. Because they're relatively inexpensive and durable, they have become a popular media for backing up hard disksand for transporting large files.
A Zip drive is a small, portable disk drive used primarily for backing up and archiving personal computer files. The trademarked Zip drive was developed and is sold by Iomega Corporation. Zip drives and disks come in two sizes. The 100 megabyte size actually holds 100,431,872 bytes of data or the equivalent of 70 floppy diskettes. There is also a 250 megabyte drive and disk. The Iomega Zip drive comes with a software utility that lets you copy the entire contents of your hard drive to one or more Zip disks.
In addition to data backup, Iomega suggests these additional uses:
The Zip drive can be purchased in either a parallel or a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) version. In the parallel version, a printer can be chained off the Zip drive so that both can be plugged into your computer's parallel port.
Question No: (1) Define computers? Why computer is known as data processing system?
What are the basic operations of Computer?
Answer: Computer: A computer is a programmable machine or device that performs pre-defined
or programmed computations or controls operations that are expressible in numerical or logical
terms at high speed and with great accuracy.
Computer is a fast operating electronic device, which automatically accepts and store input data,
processes them and produces results under the direction of step by step program.
Any Process that uses a computer program will enter data and summarize, analyze or otherwise
convert data into usable information. The process may be automated and run on a computer.
It involves recording, analyzing, sorting, summarizing, calculating, disseminating and storing data. Thus
Computer is known as data processing system.
Its various operations are:
1) It accepts data or instructions by way of input.
2) It stores data.
3) It can process data as required by the user.
4) It gives results in the form of output.
What Are the Functions of a Coprocessor Chip?
Coprocessor chips, also known as floating-point units or FPUs, numeric processors and math processors, are found in many computers. They are located inside of a microprocessor and are composed of a series of special circuits; However, during the primitive era of computers, they were separate from the microprocessor.
1) Identify different forms of technical writing?
Types of Technical Writing
Technical writing is a broad term that encompasses different types of technical documents used for specific purposes in various fields such as business, science, engineering, industries, construction, etc. Technical document is written keeping focus on the type of audience being targeted. The main aspects of this form of writing are:
Reports are made at all levels from students to business people, for various purposes. Perfect format and layout are very important factors in a report, as it contains the complete information of any project. Wide knowledge pertaining to the subject of the report is absolutely necessary for any author. It requires intense research and data analysis. Some types of reports are:
Let's take an example of a complete and well-written academic report. The format of such a report should have:
The presentation model depends upon the intended audience, whether they are internal audience or external audience. A presentation can be made using equipment and graphical aids such as flip charts, tables, transparencies, bar graphs, slides, multimedia objects, pie charts, dry erase boards, line drawings, handouts, physical objects, etc. the basic requirements in a good presentation document is:
User Manual
The user manuals are the set of instructions or explanations written to help the reader, understand some software application or any system. The important criteria of a properly written user manual are simple language, because it is mostly targeted for non-technical people. Mainly, to understand the troubleshooting techniques, people refer to the user manual. So, the writer should cover all the minute details of the product and the troubleshooting tricks. The difficult terms should be well explained and made easy. The one important chapter in the user manual is frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Executive Summaries
Executive summary is an important communication tool used by academicians and business people. Executive summaries are basically documents that contains the summary of reports, so that the reader is acquainted with the required knowledge, without reading the large body of the report. Executive summary documents are widely used in management sectors like sales & marketing, accounts & finance, etc. Executive summary documents mostly contains the summary of the problems of the service or the product. The typical structure of an executive summary should be 10% of the report from which it is derived. Concise analysis of the report is made and final conclusions are drawn from it. Executive summary is different from abstracts, in a way that, abstracts are short and it just provides the overview of a large document, whereas, reports can be replaced with executive summaries, as it contains the condensed version of the report. A good executive summary should be presented in the order given below:
Abstracts are basically, a concise and brief guide of a report that summarizes the whole report, which is mainly addressed to technical readers. There are two important types of abstracts. They are:
Spec Sheets
Spec sheet is an information sheet that, illustrates the construction and manufacturing process. Spec sheet documents are widely used especially in mechanical, instrumentation, architecture, production and manufacturing industries. The spec sheets are mainly targeting to the contractors, who will analyze the information and the package which includes all the required schematics and they would estimate the scope and expertise required for the completion of the project. After studying the spec sheet data, bid sheet will be prepared.
The proposals are persuasive documents that are made to provide solutions, recommendations and needs regarding to the problems concerning a product or service. It is a narrative work that is made to bring out successful sales experience. The good proposal should be made in such a way that, it should be "as easy as possible to digest". Many business people say that, writing a proposal is an art and it should be persuasive and rational as well. The proposals can be formal or informal.
Employment Documents
Employment document is mainly referred to as resumes, follow-up letter, resignation letter. The employment documents are prepared from the employer's perspective. Follow-up letter is written by a candidate, to thank the employer for the conducted interview and to express his continuing interests in the job. Resignation letter is a professional courtesy letter to inform the current employer that you are resigning from your job and the reasons for your resignation. Resume is another employment document produced by a candidate, who is seeking for a new job. The essential requirements of a well prepared resume are:
There are three main types of resumes, depending on the context. They are:
Questionnaire is a document that contains a list of questions that are targeted to the readers, in order to gather information from the respondents. It may be for the purpose of survey or to get statistical data. The modes of questionnaire administration are paper-and-pencil mode, computerized mode and face-to-face administration mode. The questions in a questionnaire are basically targeted to get information on preferences, behavior, facts and guidelines.
Tools Used in this Form of Writing
2) Write readable correspondence?
Correspondence is the primary means to communicate both within and outside the Coast Guard. It refers to letters, memoranda, messages, electronic mail (E-mail), and directives. Since most of our communications are conducted through the written word, it is important to compose correspondence that is cordial, responsive, correctly written, and concise. All correspondence prepared by the Coast Guard should reflect a positive image of the Service.
Business letter margins should be about 1″ all around. This gives your professional letter an uncluttered look. You should align your text to the left; this is how most documents are aligned, so it will make your letter readable.
Letter Spacing
Leaving space in your letter creates a clear, uncluttered and easy to read look that the reader will appreciate. Your letter should be in block format: the entire letter should be aligned to the left and single-spaced except for a double space between paragraphs.
Font Size
The traditional font size for a professional letter is 12. The font should be Times New Roman or Arial. However, if you are using a letterhead, the letterhead may be in a different font size and style.
Font Style
There is no need to use different styles within a professional letter. Use a uniform font (a book print font such as Times New Roman or Arial) and avoid underlining, italicizing, or bolding. However, if you are using a letterhead, the letterhead may be in a different font style.
Letter Text
Business letter text should be clean and readable. Avoid writing your letter in one large block of text. Break your text into several concise paragraphs. These paragraphs should be aligned to the left; this allows for easier reading. When you have completed your letter, ask someone else to read it for you. Have them glance briefly at the letter. Is there too much text on the page? Is it easy to see the distinct paragraphs?
Contact Information
The first section of your letter should include your contact information and the contact information of the person you are writing, too. Also include the date you are writing at the top of your letter.
Letter Salutation
unless you know the reader well and typically address them by their first name, you should include the person's personal title and full name in the salutation (i.e. "Dear Mr. James Franklin"). If you are unsure of the reader's name, include his or her title (i.e. "Dear Executive of Marketing"). If you are unsure of the reader's gender, simply state their full name and avoid the personal title (i.e. "Dear Jamie Smith"). If you are unsure of the reader's gender, name, and title, simply write, "To Whom It May Concern." Leave one line blank after the salutation.
3) Write readable proposals?
All these four factors have wide influence on writing style, but they do not act alone. Other points are important. Some examples, based very much on what people say they want in what they read, are now dealt with in the following bullets. Make your writing:
4) Write feasibility report?
A feasibility report is a testimony that attempts to create some sort of action. Feasibility reports are created to persuade/help the decision makers to choose between available options. Remember that your option is not the only one; the decision makers will probably have many to choose from. A feasibility report also determines whether or not the investigated task can be done with the amount of resources available OR how many resources will be necessary in order to complete the task. Feasibility may be useful in a lot of different situations such as event planning, finances, or even remodeling your home.
Important Features of a Basic Feasibility Report
Below are the seven elements of a feasibility report:
Write readable instructions?
Readability is the ease in which text can be read and understood. Various factors to measure readability have been used, such as "speed of perception," "perceptibility at a distance," "perceptibility in peripheral vision," "visibility," "the reflex blink technique," "rate of work" (e.g., speed of reading), "eye movements," and "fatigue in reading."[1]
Readability is distinguished from legibility which is a measure of how easily individual letters or characters can be distinguished from each other. Readability can determine the ease in which computer program code can be read by humans, such as through embedded documentation
Write the step of adding and maintaining new user in Unix/Linux system?
There are three types of accounts on a Unix system:
3. User accounts: User accounts provide interactive access to the system for users and groups of users. General users are typically assigned to these accounts and usually have limited access to critical system files and directories.
UNIX supports a concept of Group Account which logically groups a number of accounts. Every account would be a part of any group account. UNIX group's plays important role in handling file permissions and process management.
Managing Users and Groups:
There are three main user administration files:
How many types of commands are there in Unix/Linux?
There are two kinds of commands used in Linux: Built-in Shell Commands and Linux Commands.
* Shell Command Library
* Linux Command Library
The Linux / UNIX operating systems come with many commands that the user can enter into the computer from the keyboard and use to interact with the computer. There are two kinds of commands that come with a Linux / UNIX operating system: Shell Commands and Linux/Unix Commands. Here is a comparison of the two:
What is the function and responsibilities of system administrator?
The duties of a system administrator are wide-ranging, and vary widely from one organization to another. Sysadmins are usually charged with installing, supporting, and maintaining servers or other computer systems, and planning for and responding to service outages and other problems. Other duties may include scripting or light programming, project management for systems-related projects.
1. User administration (setup and maintaining account)
2. Maintaining system
3. Verify that peripherals are working properly
4. Quickly arrange repair for hardware in occasion of hardware failure
5. Monitor system performance
6. Create file systems
7. Install software
8. Create a backup and recovery policy
9. Monitor network communication
10. Update system as soon as new version of OS and application software comes out
11. Implement the policies for the use of the computer system and network
12. Setup security policies for users. A sysadmin must have a strong grasp of computer security (e.g. firewalls and intrusion detection systems).
Preparing an Oral Report
Follow these steps to put together and deliver a first-rate presentation.
Step 1. Research the Facts
Gather information about the subject of your oral report. List the facts and interesting
information from your reading, taking notes accurately. Remember that relevant details and
vivid descriptions will make your oral report more interesting, as will visual aids such as maps,
charts, and pictures.
Step 2. Organize Your Information
Organize your oral report in three parts.
• Introduction
How will you introduce your report? What will be your first line? Write a short introduction
that briefly explains what your report will cover.
• Body
Organize the main points of your report. They should follow a logical order. Be sure that:
all your information is accurate;
you have included information from your research to support your main points;
you use details and descriptive sentences to make your report interesting.
• Conclusion
Write a short conclusion. You can use the conclusion to:
wrap up and restate your main points;
draw upon your main points to formulate a personal opinion concerning the topic of your
Step 3. Practice Giving the Oral Report
Practice presenting your oral report with a friend or family member. If no one is available, try
practicing in front of a mirror. Keep the following points in mind when you give your report.
• Hold your body upright and face your audience.
• Speak clearly and deliberately—you want everyone to hear what you have learned.
• Refer to your notes only when necessary.
Step 4. Make A Final Copy of Your Report Notes
Use your notes to make a final outline of your report and put it on one index card or half-sheet
of paper. Try to use this card alone when giving your report. Refer to the rest of your notes only
if absolutely necessary.
It's important to really know your subject and be well organized. If you know your material well, you will be confident and able to answer questions. If your report is well organized, the audience will find it informative and easy to follow.
Think about your audience. If you were listening to a report on your subject, what would you want to know? Too much information can seem overwhelming, and too little can be confusing. Organize your outline around your key points, and focus on getting them across.
Remember—enthusiasm is contagious! If you're interested in your subject, the audience will be interested, too.
Practicing your report is a key to success. At first, some people find it helpful to go through the report alone. You might practice in front of a mirror or in front of your stuffed animals. Then, try out your report in front of a practice audience-friends or family. Ask your practice audience:
If you are using visual aids, such as posters or overhead transparencies, practice using them while you rehearse. Also, you might want to time yourself to see how long it actually takes. The time will probably go by faster than you expect.
Almost everyone is nervous when speaking before a group. Many people say public speaking is their Number 1 fear. Being well prepared is the best way to prevent nerves from getting the better of you. Also, try breathing deeply before you begin your report, and remember to breathe during the report. Being nervous isn't all bad-it can help to keep you on your toes!
Have you prepared and practiced your report? Then go get 'em! Remember: you know your stuff, and your report is interesting and important.

Using PowerPoint in Oral Presentations
Visual aids are an important element of a good oral presentation. Using visuals can add interest to your presentation and help you communicate your ideas.
You can use PowerPoint software to produce overheads or to make a computer-based presentation. If you use it well, PowerPoint allows you to present colourful, interesting visuals and manage and combine a range of multimedia information.
Visual aids can:
1. Prepare
1.1 Plan Your Presentation
Before you even think about making visuals for your presentation, you must know what you are going to say (see The Learning Centre's Oral Presentations in Tutorials & Seminars brochure for more information).
After you've written your talk, then start planning your slideshow.
Once you know what you're going to say, you can plan visuals to support your presentation. Planning helps you gather and organise your ideas before you start designing slides on computer. Planning will not only save time, but ensure that your visuals are effective.
Draw up a 'storyboard'—a visual layout of the different 'scenes' in your presentation in rough sketch form. Storyboarding your slides before you create them helps you visualise how the content of your presentation will flow and how the slides relate to each other. Your storyboard should be a type of map, outlining the main points of your presentation.
Draw in pencil and have an eraser handy. You can rule up some frames on A3 paper or use a set of index cards or large post-it notes (cards/ post-its can be rearranged to try out different presentation sequences).
Evaluating and redrafting your storyboard enables you to make adjustments early while revisions are easy to do. Read your written script while looking at the storyboard and ask yourself:
Make sure you complete your storyboard before you move to the computer.
Important Elements
Keeping these elements in mind as you prepare and practice the presentation will reduce the amount of re-working you'll have to do as it evolves, and will result in a streamlined, effective end product.
1. Rate: The optimal rate for a scientific talk is about 100 words per minute. Any faster and the audience can't absorb the additional information. Use pauses and repeat critical information.
2. Opening: The opening should catch the interest and attention of the audience immediately, while avoiding trite filler phrases (Thank you for having me . . .) and technical jargon.
3. Transitions: The link between successive elements of the talk should be planned carefully. You should make the relation between successive elements clear to the audience.
4. Conclusion: Summarize the main concepts you've discussed, and how your work relates to issues you've raised. Signal that the summary is beginning ("In summary, …"), but don't begin the summary too soon or else the audience will start to leave before you finish!
5. Length: Don't run over! Ever! Shorten your talk by removing details, concepts, and information, not by eliminating words. If it becomes absolutely essential to supply details, supplement your presentation with a handout. Make about 10% more handouts than you think you'll need. Always leave time for a few questions at the end of the talk.

Riise to turn out for Delhi Dynamos in 2nd edition of ISL
NEW DELHI (AP) Former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise will play for Delhi Dynamos in the second season of the Indian Super League.
The 34-year-old Riise joins Brazilian player-manager Roberto Carlos and French player Florent Malouda in the Delhi team, which failed to make the semifinals in the opening season.
Riise, known for his stamina and powerful shooting, is the most-capped player for Norway with 110 matches. After leaving Liverpool, he played with Roma, Fulham and Cypriot club APOEL.
A team statement quoted former Real Madrid star Roberto Carlos as saying that Riise will ''help in the development and evolution of the team'' and that he was a ''true leader on the field.''
The eight-team franchise-based ISL will run from Oct. 3- Dec. 20 at different venues across the country.

The Last Seven Days
I wrote my last article on Pujols, knowing in the back of my mind that Edmonds had been a stud over the last week as well. I had no idea that he had actually been better. (It doesn't even seem like that would be possible.)
Edmonds, also getting a day off over the last week, has hit .563/.619/1.750 over 5 games, giving him a 2369 OPS. Yes, an OPS that looks like recent history is awesome. An OPS that looks like a year in which Captain Picard is alive? (Note: I have no idea what year "The Next Generation" takes place, nor did I feel like looking it up.) Edmonds hit 6 home runs over those 5 games, scoring 8 and driving in 13 runs. 13 RBI over 5 games! And this guy is supposedly the 3rd best hitter on this team.
A few other guys have been doing ok the last week as well.
Sanders - 5 games, .467/.500/1.067, 1567 OPS
Rolen - 6 games, .389/.560/.778, 1338 OPS
Walker - 5 games, .250/.318/.650, 958 OPS
When you have guys putting up numbers like that, it's hard not to win. I so look forward to October if this offense continues to fire on all cylinders.

When he is not on television, French Montana is performing around the country. Without an album out, French Montana has become one of the most-popular rappers in the game. At a time when New York needed someone new to take the reigns, French Montana stepped up and signed with Bad Boy Records, the hometown label. As French Montana works on his debut album, he is still making his rounds.
Recently, French Montana performed in Baltimore and Crack City DVD was able to obtain the footage. Much like French Montana, Crack City DVD started with humble beginnings and is now among the top video destinations on the internet. With nearly a decade of experience, Crack City DVD is preparing to elevate their movement to the next level. The first move is lining up more big name features.
Following the success of his "Shot Caller" single and his appearance on Rick Ross' hit mixtape single, "Stay Schemin'," French Montana is one of 2012's biggest rappers. With new music on the way, eventually his debut album too, French Montana will only be getting bigger. Exclusive content from the Cocaine City Records boss will be available on the next clip from Crack City DVD.

Sturm new coach, GM of German men's national teamNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Marco Sturm, who played 14 seasons in the NHL primarily for the San Jose Sharks and Boston Bruins, was named by the German Ice Hockey Association as coach and general manager of the men's national team, according to the International Ice Hockey Federation's website.
Sturm, who represented Germany as a player in the World Championship, World Cup and the Olympics, signed a two-year contract that will automatically be extended to 2018 if the country qualifies for the Olympics in PyeongChang. The tournament to decide the final qualifiers will be held in Latvia in September 2016.
"I'm very proud that the DEB gives me the huge responsibility and I'm really immensely looking forward to this challenging and exciting task I will work on with huge motivation. Together we want to go the next step with German ice hockey," Sturm told the IIHF website.
Strum will coach Germany at the next two World Championships, including 2017 when Cologne, Germany will serve as co-host along with Paris, France.
"We are glad to have found a very young and internationally renowned personality with Marco Sturm," Franz Reindl, president of the German Ice Hockey Association, said. "He comes from our own ranks, knows the system of the national team, won himself a silver medal at the U18 European Championship in Berlin in 1995 and is close with the players.
"From his signing we hope for an important, emotional impulse for our national team. Marco will assemble his coaching staff himself and in particular with renowned DEL coaches."
Sturm, who turns 37 in September, was the 21st pick in the 1996 NHL Draft by the Sharks and played parts of eight seasons with them before being traded to the Bruins as part of the package for Joe Thornton. Sturm had a career-high 29 goals and 59 points between San Jose and Boston during the 2005-06 season.
Sturm also played for the Los Angeles Kings, Washington Capitals, Vancouver Canucks and Florida Panthers. He had 242 goals and 487 points in 938 regular-season games and nine goals and 22 points in 68 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

Is the Liverpool defence actually as bad as they appear to be and are the Reds really the laughing stock that their performances would lead us to believe?
On the face of it, a unit with such a woeful record of 16 goals conceded in just 10 Premier League games this term, would suggest the answer to the above question to be a resounding yes.
However, on further inspection, there are facts that will surprise many and make even the most hardened critic sit up and take notice.
Amongst all the scrutiny and criticism that has peppered Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool rearguard, there is hardly any mention of the fact that the Merseysiders have conceded just one goal at home in the league this season.
It is the 15 goals shipped away on their travels that grab all the headlines, but again just that solitary blip in front of the Kop by Burnley. It does give food for thought and you have to wonder why there is such a contrast.
Teams coming to Anfield sit back and try to hit the Reds on the counter-attack meaning there is less probability of the backline getting exposed.
The opposite is the case when Liverpool play away because the home sides will get on the front foot and attack the obvious frailties that exist which results in more opportunities.
Then there is their incredible propensity for the most ridiculous individual errors and nothing encapsulates them more than the meltdown suffered by Dejan Lovren in the recent 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The Croatian was horribly at fault for their first two goals and substituted by Liverpool boss Klopp after half-an-hour as a result.
These mental lapses have plagued the Reds since Rafael Benitez left in 2011 and it all boils down to a lack of concentration. Klopp must get his Liverpool defenders to focus for the entire 90 minutes in every game, otherwise these issues will persist.
To be fair to them, they have responded well since the debacle against Tottenham with just one goal conceded in their last three games.
The next test for Liverpool will be at home to Southampton after the international break.

Choosing A New Or Old HomeOffices have grown to be much more than simply workplaces for people in the recent years. They will be the place where dreams come true; where aims are met and where bigger goals are set. Offices will be the place where our achievements truly get noticed and appreciated and feeling of pride motivates us to perform even better things. But success rarely comes easily and so office also becomes the place where we slave around the whole day and occasionally more. Now, fat loss to deny the obvious undeniable fact that the changing economic times have influenced the job culture around the globe. Digital networking may have made working in a lot easier, but in turn it has increased substantially how much work that one does every day. It is not uncommon to get that personnel are often so overwhelmed with work they are still at their desk in the office well following the official the years have been over. Working so late every single day has left not much time with an average office-goer to take care of their own needs and search after his health.
Some bugs, such as spiders, are just challenging to examine for many people. Other bugs, for example mosquitoes, bees and wasps, may pose a threat to humans by stinging or biting. However, a lot of people would prefer to encounter another pest when dealing with termites. You can save from having to replace your foundation to just a few boards given you use the right termite control products ahead of time. Termites are incredibly small pests that go after wood and also other fibers as part of their digestive patterns. Termites will bore through a lot of things only to find food and water. Even concrete or plastic will not likely deter them at all bit. Gutter Cleaning Melrose Park IL 60161 For the homeowner that wants to protect their property, employing the appropriate preventive and exterminating termite control products is essential.
In ground children's pool lights are usually put in once the pool itself is constructed, but this usually is not the situation with above ground pools. Above ground pool lights has to be coupled to the pool a single of several ways. Some lights hook over the top with the pool wall, some are mounted aside from the pool wall, and several are installed directly to your pool's return line. All the different styles get their advantages, but most people that own above ground pools choose lights that hook over the top from the pool wall since this prevents the call to drill holes inside the side from the children's pool and allows pool keepers to change and adjust the location of the lights.

It is much simpler in order to avoid bedbugs rather than to remove them. But if you own an infestation, then understanding how to kill bed bugs will be your top priority. Hopefully you understand the location where the pests are nesting or can at least narrow it into a couple of rooms, making your do-it-yourself pest management adventure an even more targeted attack.

Welcome to Q & A with the Rookie Domainer. This is meant to be a recurring blog segment based on questions I receive here, Facebook, and Twitter. This is the second such post and the Q & A question is:
How do I park a domain?
It's so simple once you do one, but if you haven't - this post and video is meant for you . For starters, I register my domains with GoDaddy and park them with Domain Apps or Voodoo. I've explained before why and will go into more details in future posts about these choices, but for now, just know that's what I prefer. Specifically for the video, I parked with Voodoo and this is because I'm seeing a little bit more revenue out of them but nothing conclusive enough for me to abandon Domain Apps, especially since I like their interface better.
Watch the video:
Basically, you add the domain to your Voodoo account, adjust some settings, change the nameservers for the domain in your GoDaddy account, and in a few minutes you have your domain parked. Simple, huh?
I always, ALWAYS, immediately park my domains following registering just in case someone comes along and clicks. I want a share of that revenue. Let me know if you have questions!

Atomic Memory Model Screenshot
The Atomic Memory Model is a powerful methodology which handles memory in a consistent, elegant, simple and highly effective way, greatly increasing the quality of code and speed of development. By abstracting the memory and representing it as an encapsulated entity, one can eliminate all of the issues arising around using memory in a digital computer system and make them intrinsically impossible.
The download includes the thesis of the model, the complete source code of example implementation "Two" (version 2.3) for C++, and a Reference Manual. It also includes a set of useful helper classes and the source code for implementation "One" (version 1.2), and a simple example program demonstrating the use of the code.

I'm His Mom, and you Better Believe It!
Only a few more days left until Marcus is no longer a kindergartener! There has been a lot of learning going on this school year. Marcus learned the typical kindergarten-type things, but I think I might have learned more than he did this school year. Up until this year, I have pretty much been at Marcus's side through his life experiences. Even though I dropped him off at preschool the past two years and was not with him during those few hours, the things he did and the people he was with were not as much of a mystery as it was this year with kindergarten. Back in those preschool days, before he went in the classroom I talked with the other moms and got to know a little about each of their kids. I even grew up with his preschool teacher's daughter so there was no mystery in her. Therefore, even when I wasn't with Marcus, I knew who he was with and I knew their parents. Then along came kindergarten. I stick him on the bus in the morning five days a week and wait for him 7.5 hours later to get off that bus. The only thing I know about the kids he is with all day long is what my 6 year old son tells me about them. And I certainly don't know anything about those kids' parents. There have been a few school functions and birthday parties where I have had the opportunity to meet a few of the parents (and kids). It is awkward. Probably not for anyone but me. I extend my hand and say, "Hi, I'm Marcus's mom." Then my mind starts screaming, "And you better believe it and not draw any conclusions because I know that now you know that he was adopted and that better not change a damn thing!!!" Maybe it is an insecurity thing on my part. With the majority of the people that I have tried to have some sort of relationship with up until this point, they have either known my family's back story or else I have talked with them enough times (like the old preschool drop off parents) that any shock that my kid doesn't look like me has worn off. I don't care what the random stranger at the grocery store thinks that sees my fair complected self with my dark complected sons. But I find that I do care what the parents of Marcus's friends think. I want them to like me and think we are normal people and know it will be fine if their kid wants to play with my kid. I also wonder if that feeling I get when meeting new people is the way that racism feels. I introduce myself as Marcus's mom and most of the time I see people do a double take. I can almost feel them suddenly coming to a conclusion about my family and what kind of people we are based purely on how we look. Whether their conclusion is correct or not (although I am willing to bet that most of the time it isn't), the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up because I think that this person knows something about me (and my family) that really is none of their business. Then I feel this pressure to act incredibly normal. Because if I don't act like there is anything odd about the diversity in my family then these new people won't feel like there is anything odd about my family not all matching. Most importantly, hopefully my kids won't feel like there is anything different about our family just because we don't all look alike. But there stands that great big elephant in the room. This is Marcus. He is my son. Yes, I know we don't look alike and that is because he was born in Guatemala and then we adopted him and that one tiny little fact is the only thing different about my family and yours. Now that we got that out of the way, can we get on with getting to know eachother?

Risky sexual behaviour and constructions of masculinities among South African teenage Indian boys in the context of HIV/AIDS.
Ganas, Jerome.
MetadataShow full item record
To guide effective responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic that has fatally plagued South Africa, greater research targeting adolescents needs to be undertaken. Whilst a majority of HIV/AIDS studies focus on the black South African population, less work has been done focusing on the rest of the population of South Africa. HIV/AIDS does not discriminate. It affects and impacts on the lives of all South Africans. This study set to out to explore the constructions of masculinity and risky sexual behavior by South African teenage Indian boys. Currently very little is known about how South African Indian boys construct masculinities as well how they perceive engagement in risky sexual behavior. This under-researched topic was the basis for undertaking this study. Using Connell's (1996) theory on masculinities as a framework, I delved into the lives and experiences of South African teenage Indian boys and sought to gain further insight to an understanding of the factors that influence the way these boys construct their masculinities and risky sexual behaviors in the context of HIV/AIDS. Using a case study methodology, I interviewed ten teenage Indian boys from a co-ed high school on the Kwa-Zulu Natal south coast. Findings revealed that boys' constructions of masculinities are influenced by various factors. Some boys were influenced by boys who displayed hegemonic masculine traits. Other boys opposed the traditional ideologies of masculinities and constructed their masculinities based on their own belief systems and perform their masculinities differently on the basis of their experiences. The study also found several groupings that boys adopted in constructing themselves and other boys. When it came to risky sexual behavior, the study found that the Indian boys were misinformed about sex. Further analysis of the data identified that their construction of masculinity often developed through peer acceptance and this was informed by the desire to elevate oneself amongst the peer group. Often this led to engagements in risky sexual behavior. Multiple sexual partners, refusal to seek advice in some instances and the pressure of peers were ways in which the boys asserted their masculinities, often opening themselves up to sexual risk. The study calls on educational institutions to increase their role in educating the youth of South Africa about sexually risky behaviours. I also suggest that these institutions amend their policies to curb bullying, violence and illegal activities.

I am a huge fan of clutches! Especially the big fold over ones that have been everywhere lately. I recently thrifted some textured faux leather fabric that I knew would be perfect for a handbag. I used it alongside some other thrifted materials to create this perfect fold over clutch. Here's how...
1. Supplies: Leather or faux leather fabric; Cotton Fabric; Fusible interfacing; Shank button; Scissors; Needles; Thread; Sewing machine; Paper, pencil and ruler. 2. Make a pattern for you clutch on paper. I made mine 11 inches wide, 13 inches long, and a fold line 4 1/2 inches down from the top. 3. Cut 1 leather, 1 outer cotton fabric, 2 lining fabrics, and 1 piece of interfacing using your pattern. 4. Iron your interfacing to the wrong side of your outer cotton fabric.
5. With right sides together, sew your outer fabric at 1/2 inch seam allowance. Do the same for your lining pieces. Cut off excess seam allowance. 6. Flip your outer piece right side out. Fold and press 1/2 down from the top edge of both your inner and outer bag. 7. Place your lining bag into the outer bag and pin in place. Decide which way you want your pouch to fold over, and then pin a piece of string, ribbon, or cord in place to the top. This will be used at a part of the closure. 8. Sew a shank button to the front of your clutch. Make sure to place it so the cord from step 7 can wrap around a few times.
This project is very simple and is great for either advanced or beginner sewers! What do you think? Would you ever like to make this project? I know I'm excited to try my hand at making another one!

WOLVERINE — Johannesburg-Lewiston assistant coach Jessica Crane spent her first career game at the helm of the varsity team Thursday night against Boyne Falls.
Crane was subbing for J-L head coach Heather Huff, who was in the Upper Peninsula scouting a game between Brimley and Pickford, two potential regional opponents of the Cardinals.
No. 3-ranked J-L is looking ahead. That's what happens when in the past two seasons, you make it into the Class D quarterfinals (2008) and semifinals (2009).
Huff warns, however, that while the Cardinals are gearing up for another long postseason run, there will be challenges ahead in next week's district in Wolverine.

So. I was looking at our toothpaste yesterday. I noticed that John's said "Great Regular Flavor."
GREAT REGULAR FLAVOR? What kind of a description is that? What is "regular flavor"?
It struck me that this is exactly how John would have described him if I'd asked him.
So I looked at MY toothpaste. "Shinier, whiter, brilliant, LUSTROUS" are all descriptors on the tube.
This is men and women in a nutshell. Or at least, it's me and John. We use ten words when a man will use three.
Toothpaste actually says a lot about us. That's my deep thought for today...

A few years ago we published an article about making Lotus Tea by Hanoi's West Lake. This described the usual way that 'real' Lotus Tea is made by blending tea with the fragrant anthers that have been separated from freshly picked Lotus Flowers. It is a time consuming task and after the blended tea is left to absorb the Lotus fragrance for 36 hours the process is repeated until it has been blended seven times. In total it can take 1000 – 1200 individual lotus flowers to make each kilogram of Lotus Tea.
For our own Lotus Tea we source wild grown mountain green tea (although we now also have black and oolong lotus teas) and ship this to Hanoi for the blending to be carried out during the lotus season which extends from June to September.
This year as something of a novelty we also had some lotus flowers packed with tea produced which were then wrapped in a leaf and vacuum packed. The practice of putting tea inside the flower reflects the origin of lotus tea preparation in Vietnam. Old texts speak of servants placing tea into flowers at night as they grew in the lotus ponds and then removing the tea the following morning.
For our experiment we used flowers that had already been picked and inserted 15 grams of wild Fin Ho green tea into the flower before they were wrapped and sealed. We ended up with 50 blooms which were then sent to our shop in Ho Chi Minh City where they were all sold immediately – with the exception of a few that we kept for personal use.
Unwrapping the flower from the leaf and removing the tea there is the familiar scent of lotus but unlike the more usual process it is noticeable that the tea leaves are quite damp. It is probable that if left too long then mould be start to grow on the tea. I have heard that people sometimes freeze the blooms to prevent mould growth but not sure if that would impact the eventual taste.
The drink that is made with the tea is very pleasant; a bright clear liquor that is fragrant and quite sweet. Although it is not as strongly scented as the tea that the usual process produces after the long blending process. The tea is good for 3 steepings but after that there is little flavour left. With the usual tea we would expect the fragrance to still come through strong after 7 (and maybe more) steepings.
This was a very interesting experiment. Making the tea from the flower makes for a very attractive ceremony but does not deliver the full beautiful intensity of lotus flavour.
Our usual Lotus Tea is available online or in our shop.

Alice Ollstein contributed to this story, which was last updated at 10:00 p.m. EST.
House Republicans pushed through a bill to keep the government running for one more month Thursday evening, setting up a Friday showdown in the Senate where its prospects look uncertain at best.
The bill passed mostly along partisan lines, by a 230-197 margin. Five moderate Democrats voted for the bill, while 11 Republicans voted against it, most of them conservative hardliners.
It now faces a tough path in the Senate with just hours before a midnight Friday shutdown deadline. Democrats are confident they have more than enough votes to block it.
"There's near zero chance of this thing passing," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) told TPM as he left for the night.
And while a number of red-state members wouldn't say how they'll vote as they exited the floor late Thursday night, enough were adamant no votes that its prospects looked bleak.
"Congress needs to do its job. We've had 110 days of this dilly dallying. We need to do what we were elected to do which is pass a budget," Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) told reporters, promising to vote against the bill.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) floated a short-term bill to fund the government for a "few days" to give negotiators a chance at hammering out a bipartisan agreement, an idea members of both parties didn't rule out.
"I don't think anybody knows" how the vote will play out, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) told reporters. "The gut check time will be on cloture tomorrow."
And what happens if this bill fails?
"Then I guess it's back to the drawing board," Sen. John Thune (R-SD), a member of GOP leadership, told reporters.
The bill's passage through the House came after days of cajoling and negotiations between Ryan and the hardline conservative members of the House Freedom Caucus, a handful of whom still bucked Ryan on the vote even after President Trump called into their Thursday afternoon meeting to encourage them to vote for it. Its passage was made possible after Ryan acquiesced to some Freedom Caucus demands on military spending and giving a conservative immigration reform plan a floor vote. It also includes funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program for the next six years.
Democrats stood nearly united against the bill because of the GOP's refusal to consider a bipartisan compromise that would reinstate legal status for more than 700,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. They face losing their legal status protections because of Trump's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The Senate almost immediately began debate on the bill, with both sides posturing and blaming the other side as they braced for a possible shutdown.
"Democratic senators' fixation on illegal immigration has already blocked us from making progress on long-term spending talks," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said. "Some senators are holding the entire country hostage until we arrive at a solution to a problem that doest fully materialize until march. Military families, veterans and children benefiting from the SCHIP program don't need to be shoved aside."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) fired back.
"We all know what the problem is. It's complete disarray on the Republican side," he said, slamming Republicans for making no progress after passing three earlier continuing resolutions to fund the government in recent months.
The House vote is a victory for House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), though it may prove pyrrhic if it fails in the Senate.
"The only thing standing in the way of government funding, resources for our troops, and health care for children right now is Senate Democrats. The House did the right thing," Ryan said in a statement released immediately after the vote.
Three Senate Republicans have said they won't back it, and Democrats believe they have more than enough votes to keep the bill far from the 60 votes it needs, with the GOP needing at least a dozen (and likely more like 14) Senate Democrats to break with their party and support the legislation.
"At some point, Congress needs to do better than government-by-crisis, short-term fixes, and sidestepping difficult issues. That time is now," Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said in a statement that reflected the feelings of many Democrats. "The short-term bill that House Republicans passed tonight simply doesn't meet the test of basic governance."
Republicans hope that now that the bill has passed the House, they'll be able to portray the Democrats opposing the bill as obstructionists threatening to shut down the government and pressure enough of them to vote for it to squeeze through passage.
"Senate Democrats need to take this seriously and they need to not shut the government down," Ryan said at a post-vote press availability. "Do not hold kids or the military hostage."
But that's far from certain, and it's unclear if the bill fails in the Senate what the next step will be.

text: This is an old dresser that I had gotten from a friend many years ago and it has been refinished and repainted many times to suit our needs! When I first got the dresser I refinished it because the current finish was dull and worn and it turned out to be a beautiful walnut dresser. Then I needed it for a daughters room and she chose to paint it turquoise! When she grew up and moved out of the house I decided to use the dresser for the guest bedroom but I had to get rid of the turqoise paint, but I didn't know if I wanted to repaint it or just refinish it with a nice coat of poly. Well, when I started to remove the paint I thought I would use the new heat gun that I bought (it was suppose to be much easier than the stinky refinisher that I normally use). Well, I held the gun a little too long on one of the drawers and burnt the wood and made a big dark spot. That made the decision easy whether I would leave it as it's nice walnut self or give it a shot and try my hand at the decorative painting idea. I was a little excited about painting it because I had seen a dresser in a magazine with this painting technique and I loved it. I had never done anything like this before so if it didn't turn out I would just paint it a solid color. Well, this is the result and I loved it. I've gotten a lot of great comments on it and I will never repaint it again! The dresser didn't cost me a dime except for a little time and energy it takes to refinish, paint and refinish!

Automatic generation of computer animated sequences based on human behaviour modelling

Condicions d'accésAccés obert
This paper presents a complete framework to automatically generate synthetic image sequences by designing and simulating complex human behaviors in virtual environments. Given an initial state of a virtual agent, a simulation process generates posterior synthetic states by means of precomputed human motion and behavior models, taking into account the relationships of such an agent w.r.t its environment at each frame step. The resulting status sequence is further visualized into a virtual scene using a 3D graphic engine. Conceptual knowledge about human behavior patterns is represented using the Situation Graph Tree formalism and a rule-based inference system called F-Limette. Results obtained are very helpful for testing human interaction with real environments, such as a pedestrian crossing scenario, and for virtual storytelling, to automatically generate animated sequences.

Open Championship Day Two Betting Preview PT 1- By A.J. Ryder on July 20, 2017 18:20 GMT
As we head towards the close of play on the opening day of the 2017 Open Championship, we have some very familiar names emerging at the top of the leaderboard. None other than Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka are sitting at 5 under at the time of this writing, tide with Matt Kuchar as right leaders of this major championship.
There was a lot to like about the style of play being demonstrated by a number of the top contenders here and you can expect a lot of action excitement as things kick on towards the penultimate day of action on Sunday at Royal Birkdale.
Coming into a big tournament like this you will always find the bookmakers offering up and number of appealing money back specials, enhanced odds and outside wagers. this time is no different and you'll find that the bookmakers had previously thought this one was going to be a straight-up shootout between Spieth and Dustin Johnson.
Both contenders had been priced at around a 9/1 margin to get the better of each other and wind up lifting the trophy on Sunday. However, it has been Spieth who has firmly grabbed the lead in this contest and he has been putting in a stellar performance.
As it currently stands, you'll find that Spieth is available at a very competitive price of around 9/2 to continue his dominance and play through as the leader all the way to the action on Sunday. There is a lot to like about his ability to grab a lead and hold onto it and he's really one of those golfers where you can count on him to continue his lead and momentum - such is the incredible level of concentration and focus demonstrated by this emerging superstar.

Half of drunk drivers in crashes
HALF the suspected drunk drivers stopped since the beginning of last month were involved in accidents, Shanghai traffic police said yesterday. Collisions with other vehicles or an object left at least 10 people injured. Police have intensified patrols around the city since May 1, when China passed a law which for the first time can see a drunk driving offence result in a prison sentence. Shanghai police said because of the clampdown, which was widely reported in the media, drivers have been less likely to get behind the wheel after drinking. Officers said this is reflected in figures. In China there are two offences involving driving after consuming alcohol. Drunk driving and the less serious offence of driving after drinking, where the level of alcohol is lower. Between May 1 and June 20, police stopped 285 suspected drunk drivers, down 74 percent on a year earlier. In the same period they stopped 1,796 people suspected of driving after drinking, which was a reduction of 64 percent on the same period in 2010. Earlier this month, the city's first drunk driver caught since the clampdown was jailed for three months for dangerous driving. On May 1, Xu Huaxing, 36, hit the rear of a van in Songjiang District, slightly injuring six people. As well as being jailed, he was fined 2,000 yuan (US$309) - in addition to the 73,000 yuan he paid in compensation to the victims. In another case, a driver, surnamed Hou, was sentenced to four and a half months behind bars. Hou was caught driving an unlicensed vehicle while drunk at 1:20am on May 4, shortly after leaving a pub in Jing'an District. When asked by police to pull over, he sped off, crashing into a police car and causing major damage. Hou lost his driving license after being convicted of drunk driving in February last year, police said. He was also ruled to pay 3,000 yuan to cover damage to the police car. Police said since the clampdown, 20 percent of suspected drunk drivers have been caught on downtown streets while the rest have been stopped in suburban dist! ricts, m ost frequently in Songjiang and Fengxian districts.
