Meet the teams: SaMBA
The SaMBA team is composed of three PhD and three Master students from the University of Turin in Italy. They aim to investigate the role of sensory inputs (e.g. visual, somatosensory, proprioceptive, gravitational) in modulating body and spatial awareness.

The SaMBA team will investigate the role of sensory input (e.g. visual, somatosensory, proprioceptive, gravitational) in modulating body and spatial awareness. In everyday life, having precise knowledge of our bodies is necessary to allow us to interact successfully with our environment, and gravity is a fundamental sensory input that shapes both space and body representations.
Its influence is always taken into account by spatial cognition when we program the execution of motor actions. This experiment aims to assess whether and how altered gravitational input modifies subjects' body awareness. A well-established paradigm, able to manipulate the sense of body ownership in healthy subjects, is the Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI). During the RHI, the subject's real hand is out of view, while a realistic rubber hand is placed internally to the real hand, in a position that is coherent with the subject's body schema. When the experimenter simultaneously strikes the index finger of both the real and the fake hand, after a few seconds of viewing the fake hand's finger being touched, a multisensory conflict between tactile, proprioceptive (coming from the real hand) and visual information (coming from the fake hand) occurs. The brain solves this conflict by incorporating the fake hand within its own body representation (i.e. the so-called embodiment phenomenon), and the subjects start to attribute the tactile sensation to the rubber hand, which they perceive as their own.
In their study, the SaMBA team takes advantage of the RHI to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the representation of the body in space, and to see how these mechanisms are dynamically adjusted and modulated in case of unconventional sensory inputs, such as augmented or diminished gravity. Firstly, they aim to replicate the classical RHI paradigm, performing the task on the ground (baseline condition). Then they will perform the RHI during a parabolic flight, in hypergravity and in zeroG condition. The illusory experience will be evaluated by standard procedures, such as a body ownership questionnaire and the proprioceptive drift. During parabolic flights, the team expects that the altered gravity conditions will modulate the multisensory (visual, tactile, and proprioceptive) conflict on which the illusory experience relies. The team expects to see a dominance of tactile and proprioceptive versus visual cues in hypergravity conditions, which can lead to an enhanced/more rigid sense of body ownership over the real hand and, as a consequence, to a decreased strength in experiencing the RHI. In the zeroG condition, they expect that a dominance of visual versus vestibular and proprioceptive cues will lead to a weaker/more flexible sense of body ownership over the real hand and, as a consequence, to an increased sensitivity to the illusion. These expected results, if experimentally confirmed, can improve the understanding of the mechanisms that the brain uses to shape the experience of our 'self' as a unitary body, where internal brain models of gravity can play a crucial role.

What is the purpose of bellmouth entry to a circular pipe for pumps?Posted in Hydraulics | Email This Post |
If sharp edged inlet to pipes connecting to a pump is adopted, flow separation will occur. Flow separates from sharp edges and a recirculation zone is formed. Moreover, turbulence shall form at downstream when the flow at vena contracta subsequently expands to fill up the unfilled void. Flow separation leads to significant head loss.
The design of bellmouth entry is to ensure that the flow is uniform over the entire intake section and the head loss induced at inlet section is minimized.
This question is taken from book named – A Self Learning Manual – Mastering Different Fields of Civil Engineering Works (VC-Q-A-Method) by Vincent T. H. CHU.

Habte Wendimu (Ethiopia)
Thanks to MyAmplifiers signal booster I can say that Ethiotelecom poor coverage is not a threat for me anymore. I live in Ethiopia where not all towns have all necessary infrastructure for good mobile connection. Especially people living in some remote areas quite often can suffer from mobile signal problems.
Ahnaf Naqawi (Jordan, As-Salt)
Usually, I don't write any kind of comments. I feel like people are more likely to write something bad, than actually find time to write about the device that they liked. But I was absolutely blown away by my NS-300GW signal booster that I can't remain silent!
Victor Uidumac (Romania, Pitești)
Orange poor coverage has been a problem for so long that I have even forgotten what it is like to have a flawless Internet connection and the ability to hear the person that you are calling, even if he's a long way away. I was also afraid of the whole installation process, but, once again, each step was so easy that even my grandma will be able to manage it :)
Elias Virtanen (Finland, Hyvinkää)
I simply adored my whole experience with MyAmplifiers! It just feels like they really do make everything to leave you happy and satisfied not only with their product, but also with their service. As the service, certainly, was the first thing that I saw from the company, let's start from it: Service.
Damien Feimer (Luxembourg, Mamer)
I didn't even need any help with choosing the right signal booster for me – the whole interface of the website is extremely simple, and I loved that. I was a bit concerned about the fact that MyAmplifiers is not a local company. But I was happy to get to know that my payment will be safe and sound thanks to the security system.
Daniel Gomani (Zambia, Chibombo)
Our smartphones could catch only a very weak Airtel signal on our farm. That's why we needed to find a solution as our business depends on reactivity! And for us a mobile signal booster became an excellent solution.
Khalid Foukara (Morocco, Rabat)
I would like to tell you about my latest purchase at MyAmplifiers which I personally call an absolutely fantastic investment. Just a few months ago I bought Nikrans NS-2500GW mobile signal booster in order to improve Maroc Telecom poor reception at my underground parking garage.
Stefan Niebuhr (Germany, Rott)
Dear MyAmplifiers team, please, receive my warm greetings from Germany! Thanks to your assistance and your high quality devices not only I but also some my friends have managed to overcome Lebara Mobile signal issues! Due to the building peculiarities (at least we think that it is a real reason), we used to suffer from the consequences of poor coverage in our apartments.
Vladas Keidaitis (Lithuania, Vilnius)
We live in Lithuania, not very far from the capital in a townhouse for four families. I even work in Vilnius, so it is really not so far away. Nevertheless, the entire our neighborhood is enforced to suffer from Bite poor coverage. I am not sure about the reasons but Bite signal issues are obvious.
Paolo Strollo (Italy, Trento)
I work at an amusement center that is located on a large surface, and our pervious signal amplifier from another store wasn't working so well lately. Our visitors were complaining that internet signal was pretty unstable, they couldn't get a proper connection, and sometimes there was no connection at all. We decided that we needed another, new and more powerful amplifier for our poor coverage.
Jayce Roussel (Mauritius, Port Luis)
So far I have noticed no faults and errors in the work of the booster. It amplifies voice and internet connection very well and my visitors are always satisfied with the level of Emtel signal in the restaurant. I would like to mention that the device is compatible with other mobile operators as well, thus you can choose the network without being afraid to lose the signal.
Marcela Direito (Brazil, Saquarema)
We wanted to improve at least GSM and 3G signals but we were lucky: the chosen gadget is also able to amplify 4G mobile network signal in our location. We even couldn't dream about it! Now we have extremely speedy mobile internet at home which is so unusual for us! So unusual and so great!
Katerina Dimitrakakos (Greece, Stanos)
I had somewhere heard something about special devices to extend poor mobile signal but I couldn't remember what exactly and where I could have heard about them. Nevertheless, today Google knows everything. Having studied several variants, we chose MyAmplifiers as the most reliable web site to purchase a booster.
Eugene Geerling (South Africa, Paarl)
I work from my home, that's why I really need to stay in touch with my clients and partners in a 24/7 regime. It was one of the reasons why I tried to take into consideration all the factors that are related to the variety and quality of mobile services that I could potentially receive when I was choosing a mobile operator. And in general I am quite happy about my choice, but there is one huge disadvantage.
Denisa Nfiele (Congo, Pointe-Noire)
We loved that, we have finished all our moving right in time, we are having stable strong signal and high-quality calls ever since, and all of that happened thanks to MyAmplifiers. Just one single repeater was able to save our whole office and actually cover a huge space, supporting a lot of gadgets on its way. This is very impressive!
Florian Schelling (Switzerland, Gurwolf)
Now my Swisscom signal issues are gone and forgotten, and I am very satisfied with the quality of the signal I have in this place. No uncomfortable extra wires, I just put it in one of the rooms and its power is enough to amplify the signal in this huge area. Very grateful and happy! MyAmplifiers rocks!
Sofie Ternier (France, Briconville)
Now we have normal mobile communication at home! I occasionally found MyAmplifiers web site offering mobile signal boosters and at that moment I didn't think that it would (finally) change our lives. The site is really great and very user-oriented, very quickly I could find all the necessary information.
Miika Ilmonen (Finland, Kokko)
In general, as many other MyAmplifiers clients I was quite satisfied with the quality of mobile services that I had. But in my house my smartphone just couldn't receive any mobile signal. I could enjoy mobile communication in all other places. But in my house mobile communication was a disaster. I really didn't know what I could do with Telia poor signal. As you understand, today it is impossible to stay without mobile communication.
Rui Dcruze (Portugal, Coimbra)
We want to express our deep gratitude to the whole MyAmplifiers team! You have saved our company! We have very active communication with our clients and a lot of them prefer making mobile calls. So, we always need to stay connected, otherwise we can miss really important inquiries and lose our clients (even loyal clients won't tolerate with the situations when their support manager can't be available during the whole working day).
Kelvin Rizal (Brunei Darussalam, Liang)
DSTCom poor coverage was a big and annoying trouble for me. And, to be honest, I didn't even know that I could do something with it. My phone calls had extremely bad quality and it was a lucky day if I could talk to someone without interruptions and having to ask over and over a few times almost everything that my interlocutor was saying. I tried to rely more on communicating via internet, but the phone would still be much cheaper for me.
Petra Gajszky (Hungary, Székesfehérvár)
Our business started going much better, and we are now able to work more qualitatively and receive more orders, since our connection is not breaking off all of a sudden at any unexpected moment. That is exactly what we wanted, and we can't thank MyAmplifiers enough for helping us, and also for their outstanding service!
Mustafa Elmanhaly (Egypt, Cairo)
Our flat is rather small, so 150 m2 covered by the amplified signal is more than enough for us. But if you want the improved signal to cover a wider area, it is possible to buy another booster as MyAmplifiers can offer you a great choice of mobile signal boosters that are able to meet all kinds of requirements.
Liu Wenwen (China, Lvliang)
Like many other people, I have faced cell phone signal issues in my life. And my apartment has China Mobile poor coverage. After I finished all the repairs in my apartment, I wanted to solve these problems because I got tired of missing calls, and that was really disturbing while I was organizing the repairs. I was a little bit afraid that the signal amplifier will ruin the interior design, that it will have lots of wires and look bad.
Amad Momoh (Sierra Leone, Lunsar)
I think that it is useless to explain why it is very important for all people today to have high quality mobile connection, why it is convenient to stay in touch 24/7 and what are the reasons of this extreme popularity of mobile services all over the world. We live in Sierra Leone and the popularity of mobile service is still growing in our country.
Musa Dibba (Gambia, Kalagi )
NS-1503G is an excellent device to boost Africell 3G poor signal! I live in Gambia in a very small town in the Western Division. As in many small town situated far from big cities we have very weak mobile connection. In general I have no problems with Africell GSM signal but as the majority of young people today I need to have an opportunity to access mobile internet as well.
Balázs Pacek (Hungary, Székesfehérvár)
Another important thing for me was the fact that this signal booster does not emit any radiation and is all-in-all not dangerous for your health. Even though I was buying it for a café and not for a place where all my family lives, it still was an important point for me. The signal booster from MyAmplifiers has various certificates that prove its safety. That's great!
Omar Sleiman (Oman, Fanja )
When we were at home we all felt that we were separated from the rest of the world. It was practically impossible to stay in touch with somebody and together with my wife we understood that we should find a solution as not only we but also our children were suffering.
Roberta Gemignani (Italy, Muratella)
One tourist saw that I couldn't make a call due to Three signal issues as all my efforts to catch a signal were useless. And he told me that in his home country he also used to have some similar problems but then he ordered a mobile signal booster on MyAmplifiers web site and now his mobile signal is significantly stronger.
Hannah Inken (Germany, Schlangenbad)
Some people are afraid to use signal boosters because they say that they increase radiation levels, and all the "healthy" and "safe to use" notes are simply an advertising tricks. But I can say that absolutely no one in our office has ever experienced any health issues, headaches or anything else since we got the amplifier, even though we work with computers a lot. We are very grateful and we thank MyAmplifiers a lot for helping us and for the fact that we can now work better.
Naheen Alhatimi (Bahrain, Manama)
Now my visitors enjoy reliable mobile connections and speedy data transition. Among other pluses I can name 3-year warranty and CE and RoHS certifications which prove the safety for human and environmentally friendly nature of the gadget. So I think that this amplifier is a very useful device when you have to deal with poor mobile connection.
Ada Mikalsen (Norway, Rognes )
Me and my family own a piece of land for several years now, and we made a farm out of it. We planned on inviting tourists to see the farm life and get in touch with local farm animals, but we figured out that we would need a stable internet connection throughout the whole area, if we want to make it a tourist attraction. It's not really necessary, but it would be nicer for people's comfort.
Gustav Voigt (Denmark, Braedstrup )
Living in a rural area, we do not have a lot of opportunities to stay in touch with many of our friends and relatives, we do not use the services of landline telephony and sometimes it is rather problematic for us to visit our nearest and dearest as they live rather far away. So, mobile communication is the most appropriate way for us to stay connected. Though we live not very far from the several urban centers, Telia poor signal used to be a real disaster for us.

She went to a place that gave her BONES! Did I mention that I love, Love, LOVE BONES!
Somewhere, while she was gone, she when to a place and ate this:
No she didn't bring me back the bones with the meat on them. But see the two big bones on the left? I got one of those.
Hmmmm, hey wait a minute there are two bones there and I only got one! Mama and I are going to have to have a talk.
I was really sad when she was gone to a place called Kansas City. Granma is nice and all, but she's not mom. I don't know why she had to go, she said it was to put kibble in my bowl. But she does that everyday.
This was a yummy, yummy bone! My Maddy is really jealous. She's tried to steal it twice, but I'm faster than she is!
I missed my mama when she was gone, I'm glad she's back. She can go away anytime now, as long as she brings me yummy presents back!

The waters did recede and people in those communities were left to dig through piles of what used to be their possessions, but had now become garbage.
Enter Shamrock Environmental Landfill in Cloquet. Shamrock immediately offered free flood debris disposal at its facility to area residents, and informed others how best to separate and pile their debris along roadsides for pickup and disposal, at generously discounted rates. Shamrock also extended its business hours to help residents during the flood recovery.
The experience and lessons learned from the 2012 flood has allowed Shamrock to be a continuing source of education for other solid waste facilities to develop or update emergency response plans. Last fall, Shamrock served as a training facility for solid waste inspectors, including a number of MPCA staff. For information on other community service activities, visit the Shamrock website.
For its commitment to community, the MPCA thanks Shamrock Environmental Landfill for going above and beyond for flood debris management and continuing community education.

Is it a cane? No, it's a shotgun! James Bond-like weapon disguised as walking stick surrendered to GMP
Is it a cane? No, it's a shotgun! James Bond-like weapon disguised as walking stick surrendered to GMP
A James Bond-esque shotgun disguised as a walking stick has been surrendered to Greater Manchester Police as part of their 'Give Up The Gun' firearms amnesty.
The antique blaster, which is estimated at being manufactured in the late 1800s, has a 410 shotgun concealed within the casing.
Cane guns are typical of the 19th and early 20th century and were used by gentlemen to hunt wild game within their grounds.
However, in the present day, cane guns are strictly prohibited weapons and are mostly held in rare private collections and museums.
"This cane gun is a very peculiar discovery," assistant Chief Constable Ian Wiggett said.
"As a prohibited weapon, not even a license will cover the possession of this item, so the owner did the right thing in handing it over to us, where it will be processed and safely destroyed."
The firearms amnesty was launched earlier this month and is due to close at 11.59pm on Saturday July 26.
DEADLY: The cane gun were typically used to hunt game
So far during this amnesty, 164 weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition have been handed over to police, with a fluctuating range of shotguns, air rifles and hand-held pistols surrendered so far.
To relinquish these unwanted or unlicensed weapons side steps the risk of them becoming involved in criminality and allows them to be disposed of safely.
Detective Chief Inspector Debbie Dooley of the Xcalibre Task Force said: "We are delighted with the progress of the amnesty – it's been a great success so far and the range of weapons we have received has been eye-opening.
"In the wrong hands, firearms are incredibly dangerous and we would urge people to come forward and take advantage of the last few days of the amnesty, no questions asked."
Until Saturday, those surrendering firearms will avoid prosecution for the illegal possession of guns and will remain anonymous.
During the amnesty there has also been a change of legislation which deems it illegal for certain people to possess weapons such as Antique firearms.

Welcome to Naxos Records
"I chanced upon a score of an opera with the title Il Segreto di Susanna (Susanna's Secret) back in 2002 in a second-hand book store in London. I had heard its composer's name, Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, a few times before, but his music was completely unknown to me up to this moment. As I started to read the score, I felt as though I was struck by lightning. I subsequently searched for all of Wolf-Ferrari's available scores and started to perform and to record them. This genius composer, who in his early years was among the most performed in the world, had somehow been almost forgotten after World War II.
Wolf-Ferrari belonged to the very last composers of the 20th century who believed in tonality and melodic invention. His score for Gioielli brims with seductive love songs, choruses of deep beauty, saucy serenades, old Neapolitan tunes and an orgiastic dance. "I will take the prize when I am no longer around," the composer wrote of Gioielli in the 1920s. Now, at last, it is possible to hear his great operatic achievement once again."

Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari's The Jewels of the Madonna was a spectacular success in its day, yet after a triumphant world tour it gathered dust until its 1953 Italian première, since when it has received but a handful of performances, culminating in May 2015 with this highly acclaimed revival at the Slovak National Theatre, Bratislava. Combining Italian lyricism with the dramatic realism of verismo and colourful folk-music, The Jewels brings mystical atmosphere and sublimely detailed musical effects to its highly suspenseful plot, delivering powerful choruses, seductive love songs, saucy serenades and orgiastic dances.

Software turned business management into a whole new ball game. For Andrew Hoag, CEO and founder of corporate spend management startup Teampay, the advent of software has been wildly beneficial for his background in product engineering.
"I can tell you exactly what engineer changed what line of my source code, why they changed it, when they changed it and who approved it," he recently told PYMNTS when discussing the benefits of modern software built for the enterprise.
So what does this have to do with spend management?
According to Hoag, corporate finance is among the last areas of the enterprise to benefit from this type of technology.
"I have better tools to manage my product and software than I do my company's money," he said. "That is a fundamental disconnect with the rest of the organization."
Spend analysis has always been a critical component of corporate finance. But data has been locked away in siloed systems for years – and today, many of those same barriers remain as businesses struggle to analyze spend across traditional realms like procurement and accounts payable, and less accessible areas, such as an employee's one-off purchase of a software subscription.
The very fact that an employee has to be reimbursed for a purchase signals a "broken system," Hoag noted.
"If I have to reimburse someone, that usually means they were authorized to make the payment, but weren't able to make the purchase on behalf of the company," he explained. "In between reimbursements and accounts payable, there is a lot of spend that is unmanaged. Most of that spends up on cards, and especially in today's climate, where you have more software services, it's no longer the CIO making a software purchase decision for six figures. It's individual contributors and staff-level employees who need $50 here, or $200 there, to buy software to get their job done."
The distribution of spend data across the enterprise (and across cards) has shown that traditional accounting and ERP systems are unable to holistically manage that information, the executive continued.
In addition to spend being distributed across multiple areas of the enterprise, the purchase process itself is also disparate, with information stored in documents and systems related to purchase orders, accounts payable and ledgers. When a purchase is made, a request can be sent in and an approval can be received, but rarely can this process seamlessly link a professional to the actual purchase process.
Turning the purchase approval into an actual means of payment is where the virtual card comes in. For Teampay, this means not only issuing a virtual card to make a purchase, but linking that buy to the historical information of who is making that purchase, and for what, and who approved it.
V-cards aren't a new innovation, however. So why has it taken so long for corporates to embrace the technology?
"What's been surprising is some customers aren't aware they exist," said Hoag. "It's old technology that's been around for years. Traditional ERP systems have had access to virtual cards and e-payables for years – but the problem with virtual cards, historically, is that they're very process-oriented. It's batch generation, CSV download and upload – there has not been good data exchange."
For mid-market companies – the demographic that Teampay targets – facilitating data exchange and more robust data management is even more critical considering their auditing needs.
"As soon as you have multiple levels of hierarchy, you have people authorizing spend for other people who authorize spend, and it becomes a lot more complicated," said Hoag. "With this size of a company, you start to have real audit requirements, you start to have third-party audits, you're moving real money around."
He mentioned one customer of Teampay with 500 employees and a 90-page American Express statement.
"That becomes really hard to keep track of," added Hoag. "It's impossible to know which employee is using which service and for what purpose."
From an auditing perspective, there must be clarity in this transaction data, as well as defined accountability and controls.
"You don't get that with a standard commercial card," the CEO said.
What many of these trends illustrate is the increasing importance of data: to track spend, to identify purchases, to streamline auditing and beyond. Virtual cards are a growing part of that effort to gain greater visibility into corporate transactions – though they aren't always without their own challenges. Not to mention that card transactions remain only a small piece of the B2B payments pie (for instance, NACHA data found that credit and debit cards account for 11 percent of accounts payable transactions, and that is expected to increase to just 12.5 percent by 2020).
On a broader scale, the data sharing revolution beginning to bubble in Europe and the U.S. also shows promise for the corporate spend management market.
"I'm not sure we're at the proliferation of open data yet, but I welcome the day when that happens," said Hoag. "It's very difficult to get data out of existing financial systems. It's CSV files and it's 1980s mainframe reports."
To understand where company cash is going, a business has to have access to data. And if it's easier to track minute changes in product source code than it is to track an employee's purchase, there's a problem.
"There is a rich lifecycle of ways you can help companies be smarter," said Hoag.

New PYMNTS Report: Preventing Financial Crimes Playbook – July 2020
Call it the great tug-of-war. Fraudsters are teaming up to form elaborate rings that work in sync to launch account takeovers. Chris Tremont, EVP at Radius Bank, tells PYMNTS that financial institutions (FIs) can beat such highly organized fraudsters at their own game. In the July 2020 Preventing Financial Crimes Playbook, Tremont lays out how.

After seeing Asoka, The Terrorist and Before The Rains, the American Society of Cinematographers invited me to get to know about Indian sensibility in cinematography.
Subroto Mitra: Satyajit Ray's cameraman had a timeless quality. It was not about state-of-the-art equipment but a thought. There is a timeless quality. A film like Charulata doesn't date. I saw it in ftii and then 15 years later but it had not changed.
V.K. Murthy: He had a poetic, ornamental quality. The cinematographers I admire are those who create, not imitate. For cinematographers, landscape is a character, they are committed to nature, speak in a universal language. 1+1 doesn't make two but they bring another dimension in. They have to observe, understand and be storytellers, which adds to the whole film.
K.K. Mahajan, A.K. Bir, Shaji Karun, Madhu Ambad, Ashok Mehta, Govind Nihalani, Balu Mahendra, P.C. Sriram: These are cinematographers I have learnt a lot from. I regard my peers as my gurus.
Anjuli Shukla The most promising among the young lot. Also the first woman cinematographer to win the national award.

For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. ~H,P. Lovecraft
A cat & his box are not easily parted.
Of course not. I'm surprised he chose one he could fit into: My cat Rupert always chose boxes 2 sizes too small.
It is amazing that cats can manage to look quite comfy and relaxed in such contorted positions!
Cats do strange things don't they, but that is why we love them so much.
Oh, to be as limber as a cat!

text: I have a Fujitsu-Siemens notebook. This PC has XP Home OEM, *portuguese* edition, as factory install, by SLP method. I tested the OS recovery CD supplied with this PC, and it works exactly like the unattended SLP CDs described in this forum. No activation needed. Perfect. Well, my problem is that I'm a bit old-school and I feel uncomfortable if my computer has an OS not in *english* language. So here comes my question: is it possible to build a new SLP CD for the installation/recovery of Windows XP Home, but in english language and still using the SLP OEM keys which came with my notebook? I tested a "generic" english OEM CD, with a unknown OEMBIOS files set. I copied the OEMBIOS and related files (pidgen.dll, setupp.ini, etc) from the portuguese CD into the english CD. Next, I installed this new CD using the SLP key from the sticker in my notebook, but in the end it still asked for activation. Is this a feasible procedure? What is wrong? Should I copy all the OEMBIOS file set from the portuguese CD, or just the four OEMBIOS files?

The cats in this story were in terrible trouble, because they were not doing the work they were supposed to do, which was catching mice in their town.
Seven scrawny cats, in their rags and tats,
Were standing in a row with their heads hung low;
In came the magistrates, eyes as big as dinner plates.
All of them were large and fat, big enough to catch a rat.
The biggest one was tabby brown, he had on a judge's gown.
When he spoke, he seemed to roar; a scrawny cat fell to the floor.
"Meow!" said the big brown cat. "All the mice are getting fat,
All of you must testify, we must know the reason why.
Here, we have a full report of all the mice you haven't caught.
One complaint from Mr Dockett, claims he found one in his pocket.
Mrs Meacham wants to sue because, she found one in her shoe.
Mrs Taylor thinks it's shocking; one was wriggling in her stocking.
Lord and Lady Fothersqueue say they found one in their stew.
This is really, most distressing; you must see the point I'm stressing.
Let us hear what your defence is, for the cause of these offences."
One cat spoke in a squeaky voice. "Please, sir, we really had no choice.
There are many, many dogs out there, running riot everywhere.
Every time we saw a mouse, a dog came running from a house,
Down our street the dogs are mean, this is why we are so lean,
We've lived on scraps that we have found, scared to even make a sound.
We deeply beg your pardon, you can be very sure,
That we will try much harder than we've ever done before."
The big brown cat called for the guard, with eyes like steel, cold and hard.
"See these cats?" He waved his paw. "Take them through the cellar door."
"Please, sir, mercy!" One cat cried, wiping a teardrop from his eye.
The big brown cat let out a roar. "What's a grown cat crying for?"
"You must learn now, my young feller, while you're staying in the cellar,
Scraps will not be fed you there, all your food is everywhere.
By the pads upon my feet, mice will be your only meat.
On returning through that door, you will know what claws are for!"
Days went by and sure enough, those scrawny cats had learnt their stuff.
Walking through the cellar door, scrawny cats, they were no more.
Heads no longer hanging low, a grinning judge said. "You can go!
Your punishment was not in vain, those dogs won't mess with you again."

This is to let you all know that I have sent off the proceeds of the Charity Quiz held on the first night of the season to two charities: £106 each to the RNLI (local branch) and the Ashgate Hospice in Chesterfield.
- The Ashgate Hospice is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
- The RNLI have a campaign to renew the Ilfracombe Lifeboat and Inshore Rescue Boat. It is the Lifeboat (I think) that is named the Derbyshire, so the local branch is particularly keen to support this.
So thank you to all who supported this event – the charities have acknowledged our donations.

Internet-based supermarket to experiment with free shipping service
Last updated by
A fairly new online supermarket Picnic intends to start delivering shopping to your doorstep free of charge as of September. The service, in co-operation with Boni as a supplier, will commence in Amersfoort as part of an experiment to test its success. The company announced its plan on Wednesday.
Being online-based, costs are kept low which makes it possible to offer their goods with delivery included free of charge. Customers can place an order through their app and all orders received before 23:00 will be delivered the following day using electric cars. Boni, a supermarket chain established in 1972, who serve as a supplier, are positive about the developments.
The product range is quite versatile including most of your daily requirements from both premium and private brands. Their slogan boasts, "Lowest prices on the market". With just over 30 employees and having existed for three years now, the aim is to offer the service nation-wide in the near future.Picnic was initially established by four enthusiastic Dutch entrepreneurs in co-operation with former marketing director of Albert Heijn and C1000, both well established supermarket chains in the Netherlands with the first one currently market leader.
Entrepreneurs are convinced that the online shopping choices for daily goods are currently limited not to mention the high costs for shipping by the businesses that do provide an online store. Boni will continue working closely with Picnic to ensure that supply and demand is met and customers are satisfied while improving their brands perception in the Netherlands.

A FRESH, sweet, naturalistically-performed autobiographical story of a troubled youngster trying to settle in to a new home, Summer 1993 is sure to be one of the highlights of the 20th Spanish Film Festival.
After the death of her parents, the details of which she is not entirely across yet, young Frida (Laia Artigas) is sent to live at the country home of her aunt Marga (Bruna Cusi), uncle Blai (Jordi Figueras) and cousin Anna (Paula Robles).
They are family but there is still a small divide – Frida feels like she doesn't quite fit in.
It doesn't help that there is something unspoken about Frida that separates her from the others; constant trips to the doctor, blood tests and a parent's over-reaction to Frida's bleeding knee on the playground.
Frida quickly discovers her situation leads to emotions she has not felt before.
Less about plot and more about observing human behaviour, Summer 1993 wants us to experience this situation and feel like we are part of it.
Each scene is an achievement in naturalism.
The ultimate gem is a one-shot scene of Frida, reclined on a deck chair, sunnies on and twig in her mouth in place of a cigarette, emulating a diva-like mother being waited on hand and foot by her "daughter" Anna.
In fact, some of the most precious moments are watching the two girls playing together and just being children: taking a bath together, jumping on the bed and collecting vegies from the garden.
There is something below Frida's surface, a subtle resentment towards Anna that one would imagine any adopted or foster child would feel towards their new sibling who is blood-related to their parents.
There is a sense this may slip into melodrama with a tragic incident lurking around the corner, but writer/director Carla Simon Pipo surprises every step of the way by going against what may be expected, but still maintaining a sense of drama.
Such gentle and sensitive storytelling is rare and should be cherished – perhaps not only a highlight of the festival, but of the year.
The 20th Spanish Film Festival runs from April 27 to May 17.

Russian President Vladimir Putin praised US President Donald Trump for agreeing to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un about the possibility of denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula. After calling Trump "courageous and mature", Putin added that he's expecting a "positive outcome" from the June 12 summit, which is set to take place in Singapore.
"I still hope that this meeting – a very courageous and mature decision U.S. President Donald Trump has made, to have direct contacts with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un – will take place, and we all expect a positive outcome," Putin said in an interview with China Media Group ahead of a planned summit in Shanghai later this week.
Putin and Trump are said to be planning a summit, and the two leaders have met twice in person since Trump took office.
In addition, Putin recently told an Austrian media outlet that he and Trump speak on the phone regularly.
"Indeed, Donald Trump and I have, firstly, met more than once at various international venues and secondly, we regularly talk over the phone," the Russian leader said.
Putin's remarks come a day after Putin invited Kim to Russia. Later in the interview, Putin criticized US sanctions against Russia, saying they would hurt both sides. Though he added that Russia isn't afraid of the sanctions.
How long before the left uses these two statements to 'confirm' Trump's treasonous relations with Putin? We suspect not long.

|So I wanted to update you on my quest for a home, while I get all my ducks lined up and look for the perfect (although) weathered spot I may live in a rental for the winter. I think this will take a bit of the pressure off me and the quickly approaching "move date" of mid-October. God does Tory Burch seem to live a wonderful life. That's a recent shot of her in Morocco looking at their selection of amazing hand made rugs. I do know I'd love a Beni Ourain style rug. Below are two affordable versions available through West Elm right now.

The lights in the top image (via Elle Decor) are custom, the bottom image is of the restaurant The Dutch in NYC. I hope to visit this spot soon! I'm planning a much needed inspirational trip to the big apple this Fall. Rejuvenation has some similar options to the one's pictured available in a number of different finishes!

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Adorably Celebrate a Nashville Predators Goal at Stanley Cup Game
Keith Urban also shared a photo from the game featuring Nicole Kidman giving a sly smile while he gives a thumbs up
They may be native Australians, but Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are Nashville Predator fans through and though.
Donning custom yellow jerseys, the famous couple cheered on the NHL team at Bridgestone Arena for game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. Cameras even captured Kidman and Urban celebrating a Predators goal with the fans around them.
"Seriously, ALL of Nashville is fired up right now," the NHL captioned a video featuring the Hollywood duo's excitement.
Urban also shared a photo from the game featuring his wife giving a sly smile while he gives a thumbs up.
"GOOOO PREDS !!!!!" he wrote.
The Predators went on to defeat the defending champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, giving them one game to the Penguins' two wins in the series.
Urban sang the National Anthem at the Predators' playoff game last month as Kidman cheered from the stands.
Urban, 49, shared a video on Twitter with Kidman, also 49, by his side.

- Hanif Bali, 30, has been compared to Donald Trump and Milo Yiannopoulos
- Backbench MP has a huge following on social media – especially on Twitter
- Since 2015 he has gone from unknown to household name and power player
- Bali has been credited with his party's drastic change in migration policy
By – Sara Malm
When Sweden's main opposition party recently made a u-turn on immigration, many credited the new restrictive policies to the increasing influence of one particular backbench MP – and his very controversial Twitter account.
The centre-right Moderate Party now want migrant quotas, higher income thresholds for family-reunification, the right to refuse asylum seekers at the border, and Swedish language and citizenship tests.
These drastic changes had long been pushed for by Hanif Bali, a 30-year-old immigrant MP who has gone from unknown suburban backbencher to being compared to US President Donald Trump in little over a year.
Last June, he had 23,500 followers on Twitter, now it's over 75,000 – more than many party leaders – and no Swedish politician even comes close in terms of retweets, responses and mentions.
His 'fans' praise him for 'straight-talking' tweets on integration, immigration and attacks on political opponents, which have seen him compared to alt-right controversialist Milo Yiannopoulos.
Political commentators warn that he is to the Moderate Party what Trump is to the Republicans: A populist pandering to a baying anti-immigration online mob to win voters back from the extreme right-wing Sweden Democrats.
And Bali agrees with the latter – but he does not see this as a bad thing.
'Of course there is an immediate negative association with Milo and Trump but at the same time, you cannot deny the success of either – or of Jeremy Corbyn in the UK for that matter – in getting their message out.
'I look at their methods, not their opinions. I've not changed my opinion, just my methods.'
Becoming an MP in 2010, aged just 23, Bali explains that he felt like the party could only watch from the sidelines as they lost voters to the Sweden Democrats.
'In 2006 the Moderates became the New Moderates and moved to the centre, and it opened up for the Sweden Democrats to take the right.
'The Moderates were scared of what the left and the media was going to think. We didn't talk about immigration, or talk about the issue with segregation, or how many new arrivals we can feasibly integrate into our society.
'I noticed that the left wasn't p****ed off with us anymore – they were busy with the Sweden Democrats – so I decided to take the fight with the left again. That's why I'm so popular.
Bali has been a fierce critic of Sweden's 'open your hearts' immigration policy, which saw 163,000 apply for asylum in 2015. But while his peers in politics argue their cases during parliamentary sessions, Bali prefers tweeting.
He credits his social media success with 'straight talking', something that rings a somewhat ominous bell to anyone who followed the 2016 US Presidential elections.
'People saw everything Hilary said as polished PR bureau talk. And while people thought what Trump said was crazy, no one doubted that what he said was genuinely his words.'
Bali's incendiary tweets often uses popular alt-right rhetoric, throwing around words such as 'soyboy', a derogatory term for an effeminate man, and 'SJW' – social justice warrior.
He himself is the son of members of the left-wing militant organisation People's Mujahedin of Iran. Fearing for his safety, his parents sent him to Sweden – alone – aged three, and he has grown up in foster families in Stockholm's suburbs, eventually joining the youth wing of the Moderates as a teenager.
When asked why he – an immigrant MP for a centrist liberal-conservative party – is using words almost exclusively found within the fascist alt-right movement, he explains that he has 'no problem stealing tactics from left or right, from alt-right populism or far left.'
'Soyboy is a term the alt-right has stolen from the fitness community. It's not theirs.
'Alt-right has made it their mission to steal popular internet phenomenons and make them theirs – everything from a cartoon frog to drinking milk – and my idea is to take them back.
'The alt-right don't want a metrosexual Iranian mainstream politician stealing their symbols. I want to challenge both the alt-right and the far left. It's a strategy.'
Bali does not just 'claim back' viral language, he frequently makes up his own Twitter buzzwords.
He has called asylum seekers falsely claiming to be unaccompanied minors 'child role-players' and migrants forced to live on the streets 'professionally begging EU tourists'.
But he does not see any issue in using controversial language to win votes.
'There is a problem with the older generation of politicians who have been taught that there is a 'correct' way to do politics, to use language that doesn't upset people.
'When politicians describe tackling the migration crisis, gang wars or segregated suburbs as 'a challenge', it makes it sound like they don't see how big the problem is and that they don't share the voters' burden, and there is a huge danger in that.'
Since the Moderate Party welcomed a new leader in October, their support is up from 18.1 per cent to 22.2 per cent in the latest national survey.
Sweden heads to the polls in September this year, and Bali seems confident his Twitter strategy will help them to victory.
'People ask me why I choose to be provocative, but it's not important to me whether anyone thinks I'm behaving correctly or not.
'What is important is that my politics gets through to the voters,' he adds, clarifying that an election result that puts his party back into power justifies any online means.

J.O. wrote: "Hello, Ms. LaPoint. I have a question about my size down below. I am 8 inches long and 2 inches wide when erect. However, I deal with self esteem problems and have very low confidence in myself in the bedroom or even trying to find a date.
My question is about penis enlargement surgery. Is being bigger a good thing? If I were to go through with surgery I would wish to be near or over 12 inches long and 2.5 inches wide when erect, roughly 9 while flaccid. Once again my question is about my penis size and the idea of enlargement surgery."
Liz says: Dr. Elist, a board-certified urologist and surgeon has this to say on his website: "Occasionally, a perception of inadequate penile length is a manifestation of underlying feelings of inadequacy in general. In these instances, psychological counseling may prove helpful."
In other words, J.O., your admitted low self-esteem and already-large endowment would probably make you an unlikely candidate for penis enlargement surgery. Considering the risks involved with all types of surgery, like infections that can lead to death, surgery is nothing to take lightly. Approximately 225,000 people die every year from medical malpractice. Is going from large to enormous worth the risk of death?
Like Body Dysmorphic Disorder, there's something called Penile Dysmorphic Disorder. Men who suffer from this are the least likely to be satisfied with surgery to enlarge their penises, according to one study. People with BDD have an obsessive fixation with their appearance, often focusing on imagined flaws, and are never happy with how they look so they repeatedly get cosmetic procedures until they're barely recognizable anymore. My guess is that if being larger than the average man isn't good enough for you, 12″ won't be either.
Then there's the probability that lengthening to 12″ would be an impossible feat anyway. Based on my research, most male enhancement surgeries are for helping men with erectile dysfunction (ED), and lengthening procedures don't actually lengthen the shaft, but reveal more of the penis that's simply hidden by cutting the ligament that connects the penis to the pelvic bone.
You might want to also think about what effect it might have on your sex life. Not many people could handle an extra-large penis. You asked if "being bigger is a good thing"–well, I've received letters from men who are really large and they all say it's been a headache trying to find someone who enjoys and appreciates their gargantuan manhoods. This might be one of those "Be careful what you wish for" warnings. (Click here to watch my video "Help! His Penis Is Too Big")
Try focusing less on the size of your penis and more on what can actually lead to you using it with others more often: your passions, interests, personality, confidence, intelligence, knowledge, and compassion for others. Put your mental and emotional energy into living life and evolving, and hopefully this desire will be a thing of the past!

In this special beer blog, we are going to get into the second beer of twelve in this Beer Camp sampler pack. Sierra Nevada Brewery teams up with Bell's Brewery out of Michigan. It is their Maillard's Odyssey Imperial Dark Ale. If you read my earlier beer blog posts on either one of their craft breweries, you know the history of this Midwest and West Coast craft brewery. If you have not, please, read them to get to know both of these breweries. Let us get into Imperial Dark Ale.
It has a jet black color with a nice tan color head. The aroma has a chocolate to coffee notes. The taste has chocolate to coffee notes with a dry coca notes for the aftertaste. It is scary drinkable beer.
Here is a description from the beer bottle:
This robust dark ale is layered with complex malt flavors of toffee, caramel, chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit.
Rich, dark, and roasty. That was our shared vision, and Maillard's Odyssey is exactly that, taking its name in part from the famed Maillard reaction-the "browning" of sugars and amino acids-that creates the wonderful caramelized toffee-like and roasted flavors so abundant in this beer.
Here is a description from their website (www.beercamp.sierranevada.com):
Rich, dark, and roasty. That was the concept Bell's beer guru John Mallett aimed for and, true to John's vision, Maillard's Odyssey is exactly that. Its name honors the Maillard reaction—the "browning" of sugars and amino acids—that creates the wonderful caramelized toffee-like and roasted flavors so abundant in this beer.
Bell's has done a lot to raise the Midwest's craft beer bona fides. They are masters of many beer styles from their portfolio of top-notch American stouts all the way through to the alpha acid assault of their Hopslam Ale. Bell's constantly reinvents beer styles and refines recipes with artful mastery and an oddball slant.
Here is their website and twitter addresses:
Website: www.bellsbeer.com and www.sierranevada.com
Twitter: @BellsBrewery and @sierranevada
Closing, I was pretty impressed with this beer in bottle and draft. I had it at first on draft at Ashley's in Westland, Michigan. I am not a huge fan of Bell's Brewery. I love my dark ales and lagers. There is a ton of notes going on in this brew. It is pretty complex ale. I love that because you are paying a nice penny to get this sampler pack and you are getting your money worth. I would hope all these breweries look at this time to give something different to the craft beer drinker. I believe that Sierra Nevada and Bell's Brewery did just that for the craft drinker. This is a great dark ale and I hope either brewery pick up the recipe to make it everyday beer or seasonal. I love it. I highly recommend this beer. I hope you can find it on draft or this sampler pack. Good Luck! Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/

After experiencing the full rehearsal delights at Unit 26 ( where else ? ! ) for a few months , you come to the conclusion that the rest of the world really needs to hear the fruits of your labour . Gigs obviously get you a certain limited exposure to the locals but recording your undiscovered classics and getting them distributed through the various channels available to bands nowadays is the way forward.
After experiencing the full rehearsal delights at Unit 26 ( where else ? ! ) for a few months , you come to the conclusion that the rest of the world really needs to hear the fruits of your labour . Gigs obviously get you a certain limited exposure to the locals but recording your undiscovered classics and getting them distributed through the various channels available to bands nowadays is the way forward.
By now you will have seen the incredible recording facilities that Unit 26 also offers as well as the unlimited amount of free tea and coffee and the fact you can go for a fag outside , flick your dimps where ever you want and not have the fag dimp police chasing after you with a littering fine !
Choosing your songs :
First move is to get all the inter band disagreements , arguments , "my song is better than your song" etc settled . Now , if that involves a peaceful and amicable and honest appraisal of which songs are going to grab people's attention or if it's a 'last man standing' approach that the film 'Fight Club' would be proud of is up to you but sort it out before you get in the studio as arguments in the studio can be very expensive !
The number of songs is also very important , don't come in thinking you can easily lay down 5 or 6 future classics that will take the world by storm in just a day or two of recording because you won't , it'll be a disaster . Usually , especially for your first time in the studio , chose 2 songs that can have plenty of time dedicated to them that will produce results of a high quality that you're happy with and will give you plenty of time to get the songs right and allow time to fix any mistakes.
Rehearsing :
You've chosen your 2 songs and you're all still just about on speaking terms so it goes without saying that the songs need to be well rehearsed which includes all parts and arrangements being known inside out during your rehearsals . If you are unsure about any part of a song fix it in rehearsals and not the studio where if songs are not well rehearsed it can start to cost more money , lead to more arguments and even worse,upset the engineer / producer who can be notoriously grumpy at the best of times ! (producers in general-not our producer , obviously !)
Just as important as the parts and arrangements are the sound of the instruments , amps and vocals and how they all work together with a lot of bands doing rough demos so they can hear what works and what doesn't , even if it's just on a mobile phone at least you can listen back to the song.Of course it would be amiss of me to not mention the recorded rehearsals we offer here , if you haven't got any way of putting some demos together and for a paltry £60 for 3 songs of excellent live / demo quality you have something which you can give to our producer who is recording your session and it will save a lot of time ( and money ) in the studio.
The next important thing to think about is whether you are going to be recording to a click track . A lot of producers like to use a click track because it keeps everything in time and editing and fixing mistakes is a lot easier and quicker and again this will save you a lot of time and money . If you are using a click you need to know the BPMs to your songs and if possible practice to it before you go in the studio as a lot of musicians are not used to playing to a click and at the same time keeping the energy , attitude and performance of the song intact . The poor old drummer cops it the most as it is essential that he obviously keeps to the click but still performs with the same feel and vibe that he usually does which allows the rest of the band to play to him , so be very understanding and supportive of your drummer because the success of the session depends on getting a great drum track to build the rest of the song to .
Here at Unit 26 , our producer usually favours a click and it's saved most of the bands a lot of time and money , especially with the editing later on in the process .
Who to record with :
Do you want to work with an engineer who will record the track with very little creative input or a producer who will have a lot more creative influence on the song's parts , arrangements and overall structure . It all depends on how precious you are about your lovingly created little masterpieces and if you trust an outside influence . Sometimes a producer will transform a fairly average song into something of wonder that will garner worldwide success and acclaim or sometimes you"ll end up with something you hate so much you can't even listen to it !
With that in mind it's so important to do plenty of research into which studio and engineer / producer you will work with and see which bands and artists they have produced .
As regards to Unit 26 , all I will say , is that we've had no complaints yet so our producer must be doing something right !
Again , coming back to the money thing , I know a lot of bands that have spent an absolute fortune on a "name" producer hoping that it will guarantee instant success , only for it to be a complete miss match and the whole thing being very unsatisfactory for both parties .
Give your demos to the producer:
If by now you've decided to record at Unit 26 you will hopefully have asked us to play you some of our previous sessions just to see if we can produce the sound you are looking for .
Again , I know a few bands that have splashed out a lot of money on big name famous studios and being quite disappointed with the results when a more modest looking studio could have produced something they would have been very pleased with and at a fraction of the cost . You've heard our stuff , so now we want to hear yours !
It is so beneficial for any engineer or producer to hear demos of the songs to be recorded so they know exactly what sort of sound you want before the sessions have started .
I mentioned before about our recorded rehearsals which for only £60 for 3 songs would enable our producer to hear what sort of band you are and ensure that everyone involved is on the same page so to speak . Not only does it save time and money in the studio , more importantly it brings the sessions alive as the producer knows the songs as well as the band does and so enabling a more creative , dynamic and 'vibey ' atmosphere .
Of course , if you have recorded some demos at home that's fine as well but whichever way you want to do it , it is so much better than walking into a studio stone cold and the engineer / producer not knowing what they are going to get .
You've chosen your songs , chosen Unit 26 and chosen our producer so you are now ready to put down your heart and soul on record so to speak . Obviously you want the final product to match as closely as possible to what you had in mind when the song was first written and this is where the performance comes in . Artists have so many different ways to bring out the best in themselves and their band members in the studio but usually if you are well rested the night before and not gone ' out on the lash ' , it is better than turning up with a raging hangover and looking and feeling like a corpse ! The vibe in the studio is yours to create so obviously everyone in the band has to be in the right frame of mind . Always check with any producer you use the general rules of the studio , as in , is food and drink allowed in the recording suite , can you smoke , can you drink alcohol but don't just spark up a fag in the recording suite without asking as things could get off to a very rocky start !
At Unit 26 the rule is simple – if you want a fag – go outside , although , we do tolerate vaping as long as the entire band isn't chuffing away on those things the size of mini bazookas that produce enough smoke to do a very good recreation of the London pea soup smogs in Victorian times !
One last thing , this applies to any studio , all producers like to have a fairly uninterrupted flow of tea , coffee , soft drinks or whatever their particular poison is and if you're the one whose turn it is to supply this service be very careful where you put down the drink for the knob twiddling master as any spillages on the desk or any studio equipment usually elicits the same sort of response as if you had charged up to a fully grown grizzly bear and given it a good old smack on the arse with a cricket bat !
But , above all else , enjoy yourself , be yourself and be creative !

Graham Arnold made James Jeggo's long-awaited Caltex Socceroos dream a reality last November. Now the 27-year-old midfielder wants to earn himself a permanent place in the national team.
Jeggo had long been hovering on the fringes of the Green and Gold prior to his debut for Australia in last November's 3-0 win over Lebanon in Sydney.
But the Vienna-born midfielder – who plies his trade in the city of his birth for Austrian Bundesliga club Austria Wien – is ready to make a lasting impression in Friday's international friendly with Korea Republic.
However, he is quick to point out that he is not the only one determined to seize his chance should it arrive against the Taeguk Warriors in Busan.
"Everyone senses there's an opportunity there to go out and impress and prove a point, and for myself it's no different," Jeggo told www.socceroos.com.au.
PREVIEW: The Caltex Socceroos take on Korea Republic
REVEALED: The chance conversation that led to Harry Souttar's Australia call-up
"It's come to the fore in training where it's been really intense and at a really good level.
"I've not had much game time with the Socceroos and it's obviously something you're always pushing for and striving for and hopefully against Korea Republic I'll get a chance."
ARNOLD: Competition for places at its highest against Korea Republic
MABIL: It's just a taste of what's to come
BEHICH: Fullback glowing about life-changing month
Jeggo earned his first Caltex Socceroos call-up for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and Japan in November 2016, on the back of his NAB Young Footballer of the Year-winning season with Adelaide United in 2014/15.
That saw Jeggo rewarded with a move to Austrian outfit Sturm Graz, with whom he would lift the Austrian Cup in 2018.
HOW TO WATCH: Korea Republic v Caltex Socceroos
THOMAS: Newcomer ready to learn from the best
The former Green Gully and Melbourne Victory youth has since joined Austria Wien and recently helped the club qualify for next season's UEFA Europa League – showing the kind of form which made him a prime candidate to replace injured star Aaron Mooy in Australia's 2019 AFC Asian Cup campaign.
And after familiarising himself further with Arnold's system during Caltex Socceroos camp in Busan, he says he's relishing the chance to put himself in the head coach's future plans with a strong hit-out against Korea Republic.
"I've got a better idea [now] of what he likes to do and how he likes things to be done," Jeggo said.
"But at the same time, you always learn something new and he's always adding more on top to what we want to do.
Especially for a midfielder it's a really enjoyable system to play. You get on the ball a lot, there's a lot of work to be done and you're a key part of how the team works.
"We're looking to go out there and put on a really good performance."

CFUAE Demands Justice for Human Rights Activists Convicted at UAE94 Unfair Trial
On the third anniversary UAE94 trial, the International Campaign for Freedom in the United Arab Emirates (ICFUAE) calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all Emirati political activists convicted at the unfair mass trial which was deeply flawed and was widely condemned by various human rights bodies and international human rights organisations.
The UAE 94 trial, which began on 4 March 2013 before the State Security Chamber of the Federal Supreme Court in Abu Dhabi, saw a total of 94 defendants, including eight who were charged and tried in absentia, stand trial en masse on the charge of legitimately exercising their rights to freedom of association and assembly.
On 2 July 2013, the court convicted 69 of the 94 defendants, including the eight tried in absentia and acquitted 25,ncluding all 13 women. The defendants included many prominent people from the fields of law, education and academia, business, and government advisers. The court sentenced the activists to prison terms of between seven and 15 years.
The UAE prosecution argued that the accused activists "established, founded, organised and administered the Al-Islah Movement (which had legally operated in the UAE since1974) with the aim of challenging the basic principles upon which the government of the State is based.
But the prosecution failed to provide credible evidence that the association had engaged in any acts that would constitute a criminal offence that was recognisable under international law.
According to Article 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights "everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association."
The UAE authorities made several commitments to protect and promote human rights, however, they continue to deny the right to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly in the country.
The ICFUAE calls on the UAE government, a member of the UN Human Rights Council, to adhere to its obligations to uphold human rights at home, including respecting the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, and to freedom of association and peaceful assembly.
ICFUAE also renews its call for the immediate and unconditional release of all those individuals detained or imprisoned for peacefully exercising their rights to freedom of expression and association.
ICFUAE declares the start of a one-week electronic campaign to shed more light on #UAE94 trial and give a voice to the voiceless.

Disney's line of MP3 players are a success, even if they are no iPod killers. That's because their target audience, which is the under 10 crowd, is more drawn by Mickey Mouse ears on their players rather than WiFi. This success is drawing other makers to also release MP3 portables, those who likewise target the young. The latest is Crayola.
Simple dubbed the Crayola MP3 Player, the unit is a blessedly simple affair that runs on a common AAA battery, holds 256MB of built-in memory plus an SD slot for expansion, and has two headphone jacks so the kiddies can share in the listening experience. The player also comes with both a set of earbuds and headphones, in matching colors, natch. This player is now shipping for $50.
