Book Review: 'The Perfect Cup' by Kailin Gow
California author/filmmaker Kailin Gow has worked as an Exec in charge of Legal and Production at Walt Disney Company, a writer/producer for Cable Television, an Exec at high tech start ups, an Exec at Fortune 100 Hotel and Travel Corporations, a model, a tour director, journalist, re-organization consultant, and secret shopper. She holds a Masters Degree in Communications Management from USC and Drama/Film and Social Ecology Degrees from UC Irvine. Now combining her highly successful career as an author and filmmaker Kailin uses her personal life's adversities into an inspiration and drive to write empowering books and stories for girls and women of all ages. She also manages to use her vast knowledge to educate us about healthy foods and drinks as she hosts THE PERFECT CUP travel and food television show.
In addition to be a solid resource of all things known about tea Kailin opens with a history of tea – 'Tea is the world's second most prevalent drink besides water. People have been drinking tea for over 5000 years. Originally used for medicinal purposes, tea originated in China as early as the Three Kingdoms epoch, AD 222 to 277. Several centuries later, during the T'ang Dynasty (618 to 907 AD), the tea was not only for medicinal purposes but for celebratory events at court gatherings. Tea leaves and seeds were traded into Japan during the Sung Dynasty (960 to 1280 AD), ruled by a tea-loving emperor who had codified the picking, grading, steaming, rolling, grinding and drying of tea leaves. In China and Japan, tea drinking flourished when potters began making delicate cups and tea pots, and tea houses flourished. In Japan, a ritualized tea drinking and pouring ceremony emerged called Chado, the way of the tea, where the hostess prepares strong hot green tea, wearing a special kimono to pour and serve the tea. A ritual that can last up to 4 hours, Chado requires the hostess to be specially trained. Tea is served with a small snack or with a full meal. Tea can be a soothing drink, a stimulant, or used for social occasions such as Chado, Dim Sim, and Afternoon Tea.'
After sharing a surprisingly complete list of where teas are grown she offers a list of all the known teas from A (alfalfa) to Y (Yerba Santa), how tea is made, how to use tea in recipes aptly followed by a fascinating list of tea recipes! She closes her guide/recipe book with a section on Tea as an art form – a very classy ending!
Fun to read and very educational book from a lady who knows. Grady Harp, May 18

Name | Synopsis | Description | Options | Usage | Dependencies | Files | Environment | Bugs | See Also | COLOPHON
grohtml(1) General Commands Manual grohtml(1)
grohtml - HTML driver for groff
grohtml [-bhlnprVy] [-a aa-text-bits] [-D dir] [-F dir] [-g aa- graphic-bits] [-i resolution] [-I image-stem] [-j filename] [-o image-vertical-offset] [-s size] [-S level] [-x html- dialect] [file ...] grohtml --help grohtml -v grohtml --version
The grohtml front end (which consists of a preprocessor, pre-grohtml, and a device driver, post-grohtml) translates the output of GNU troff to HTML. Users should always invoke grohtml via the groff command with a -Thtml option. If no files are given, grohtml will read the standard input. A filename of - will also cause grohtml to read the standard input. Html output is written to the standard output. When grohtml is run by groff options can be passed to grohtml using groff's -P option. grohtml invokes groff twice. In the first pass, pictures, equations, and tables are rendered using the ps device, and in the second pass HTML output is generated by the html device. grohtml always writes output in UTF-8 encoding and has built-in entities for all non-composite unicode characters. In spite of this, groff may issue warnings about unknown special characters if they can't be found during the first pass. Such warnings can be safely ignored unless the special characters appear inside a table or equation.
-aaa-text-bits Number of bits of antialiasing information to be used by text when generating PNG images. The default is 4 but valid values are 0, 1, 2, and 4. Note your version of gs needs to support the -dTextAlphaBits and -dGraphicAlphaBits options in order to exploit antialiasing. A value of 0 stops grohtml from issuing antialiasing commands to gs. -b Initialize the background color to white. -Ddir Inform grohtml to place all image files into directory dir. -e This option should not be directly invoked by the user as it is an internal option utilized by groff when -Thtml or -Txhtml is specified. It is used by the grohtml preprocessor to determine whether eqn should attempt to produce MathML (if -Txhtml is specified). -Fdir Prepend directory dir/devname to the search path for font and device description files; name is the name of the device, usually html. -gaa-graphic-bits Number of bits of antialiasing information to be used by graphics when generating PNG images. The default is 4 but valid values are 0, 1, 2, and 4. Note your version of gs needs to support the -dTextAlphaBits and -dGraphicAlphaBits options in order to exploit antialiasing. A value of 0 stops grohtml from issuing antialiasing commands to gs. -h Generate section and number headings by using <B>...</B> and increasing the font size, rather than using the <Hn>...</Hn> tags. -iresolution Select the resolution for all images. By default this is 100 pixels per inch. Example: -i200 indicates 200 pixels per inch. -Istem Determine the image stem name. If omitted grohtml uses grohtml-XXX (XXX is the process ID). -jfilename Inform grohtml to split the HTML output into multiple files. The filename is the stem and specified section headings (default is level one) start a new file, named filename- n.html. -l Turn off the production of automatic section links at the top of the document. -n Generate simple heading anchors whenever a section/number heading is found. Without the option the anchor value is the textual heading. This can cause problems when a heading contains a '?'a on older versions of some browsers (Netscape). This flag is automatically turned on if a heading contains an image. -overtical-offset Specify the vertical offset of images in points. -p Display page rendering progress to stderr. grohtml only displays a page number when an image is required. -r Turn off the automatic header and footer line (HTML rule). -s size Set the base point size of the source file. Thereafter when this point size is used in the source it will correspond to the HTML base size. Every increase of two points in the source will yield a <big> tag, and conversely when a decrease of two points is seen a <small> tag is emitted. -Slevel When splitting HTML output, split at the heading level (or higher) defined by level. -v Print the version number. -V Create an XHTML or HTML validator button at the bottom of each page of the document. -xdialect Select HTML dialect. Currently, dialect should be either the digit 4 or the letter x which indicates whether grohtml should generate HTML 4 or XHTML, respectively. This option should not be directly invoked by the user as it is an internal option utilized by groff when -Thtml or -Txhtml is specified. -y Produce a right-justified groff signature at the end of the document. This is only generated if the -V flag is also specified.
There are styles called R, I, B, and BI mounted at font positions 1 to 4.
grohtml is dependent upon the PNG utilities (pnmcut, pnmcrop, pnmtopng) and GhostScript (gs). pnmtopng (version 2.37.6 or greater) and pnmcut from the netpbm package (version 9.16 or greater) will work also. It is also dependent upon psselect from the PSUtils package. Images are generated whenever a table, picture, equation or line is encountered.
grohtml uses temporary files. See the groff(1) man page for details where such files are created.
GROFF_FONT_PATH A list of directories in which to search for the devname directory in addition to the default ones. See troff(1) and groff_font(5) for more details. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH A timestamp (expressed as seconds since the Unix epoch) to use as the creation timestamp in place of the current time.
Grohtml has been completely redesigned and rewritten. It is still beta code.

Published: July 16, 2016
Story and Photographs by Andrew P.M. Wright Swanage Railway official photographer and press officer
A powerful steam locomotive that starred in the landmark 1930s documentary film 'Night Mail' has visited Corfe Castle and Swanage – at the head of a special excursion train from London.
It was the first time that a 1920s 'Royal Scot' class express steam locomotive has run on the award-winning Swanage Railway which has been rebuilt from nothing since 1976.
Built for the London Midland and Scottish Railway in 1927, No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' starred in the classic 1930s General Post Office (GPO) railway documentary film 'Night Mail'.
Organised by the Railway Touring Company, the ten-carriage 'Swanage Belle' from London's Victoria station was the first main line steam-hauled excursion train to use the fully commissioned £500,000 Norden Gates level crossing west of Norden station.
Swanage Railway General Manager Matt Green explained: "A commercial, aesthetic and nostalgic success, 'Night Mail' was made by the General Post Office (GPO) film unit and highly praised by the film critics of the time.
"Widely considered a masterpiece of the British documentary film movement of the 1930s and the 1940s, the documentary told the story of a London, Midland and Scottish (LMS) mail train running from London to Scotland.
"Starring Royal Scot locomotive No. 6115 'Scots Guardsman', the film became a classic of its kind and has been frequently imitated in modern short films and advertisements," explained Mr Green.
Designed by Sir Henry Fowler and built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow during 1927, No. 6115 – as it was then numbered – was named 'Scots Guardsman' the following year in honour of the Scots Guards army regiment.
In 1947, No. 6115 was rebuilt by Sir William Stanier with a new tapered type-2A boiler, which replaced the original 1927 parallel boilers, and repainted in the London Midland and Scottish Railway's post-war 1946 style livery.
Renumbered by British Railways as No. 46115 in 1948, 'Scots Guardsman' was withdrawn by British Rail in 1965. Seventy of the Royal Scot locomotives were originally built between 1927 and 1930.
Matt Green explained: "It was great to see lots of happy passengers spill off the train at Swanage in perfect weather – blue skies, full sun and with a refreshing breeze – before spending three hours enjoying the delights of the seaside town which sits on the Jurassic Coast.
"The Royal Scot is an impressive steam locomotive and it was wonderful to see it running into Swanage at the head of the 'Swanage Belle'.
"The fact that 'Scots Guardsman' starred in the classic and landmark 1936 documentary film 'Night Mail' makes the locomotive even more special.
"No. 46115 is a powerful steam locomotive with very pleasing and solid lines. It really looked splendid in its British Railways 1950s Brunswick Green livery.
"'Scots Guardsman' is one of two preserved Royal Scot locomotives, the other being London Midland and Scottish Railway No. 6100 'Royal Scot'," added Mr Green.
At the rear of the 'Swanage Belle' excursion was West Coast Railway Class 33 diesel-electric locomotive No. 33 207 'Jim Martin' – a slim line version of the classic 1960 Southern Region design built for the London to Hastings line.
A class seven 4-6-0 wheel arrangement locomotive, 'Scots Guardsman' made its first visit to the Swanage Railway on Thursday, 14 July, 2016.
Swanage Railway train times – and special event details – are available online at www.swanagerailway.co.uk or by telephone on 01929 425800.

My experience with Freshchat
Freshchat was not as fresh as we would have liked!
- Integrates with Freshdesk FAQs you've already created.
- Integrates with canned responses you've already created.
- Has a similar user experience to Freshdesk.
- Inconsistent notifications - the chat notification works intermittently for agents. They don't always know they have a chat or that a customer responded.
- Does not work in Safari browser. When I discussed with their support, they said just use another browser.
- It is supposed to distribute chats based on ticket load, but it did not seem to do this fairly.
Happy to choose Freshchat
It is used by the customer service department. The best feature that we liked about Freshchat was that there was an FAQ section that was very close to the chat option. This would allow our customers to browse through the FAQs before they decide to reach out to our customer service agent. Additionally, we were able to setup business hours and configure a bot to capture user details (email & mobile) when our agent is away. The look was smooth and it was easy to setup on both web and app.
- Great Design
- Support for FAQs
- Compatible across apps and website
- Super easy to setup
- Setting business hours
- Smooth bot to capture user details
- Allow end-users to rate the response that they received and whether they were satisfied
- AI bot functionality was still under development when we started. It is not a very mature product yet. It would be great if this was added to ease our manpower.
- Reporting could be done much better and more in-depth
- Support for react native apps could be improved. It often gives issues.

Start website free - Best Free Website Builders
Website builder is a great opportunity for those who want to create a site with their own hands, but at the same time do not speak any programming language.
Everyone who has worked with programming understands that this is difficult, but nevertheless we all want our sites to be on top.
It doesn't matter what you want to create: a small website for business, a website for a huge corporation, or an online store selling home-made toys - site designers will give you this opportunity.
Unfortunately, each barrel of honey has its own fly in the ointment, in this case it is that transferring such a site to another hosting will be extremely difficult, because everything will need to be redone manually.
We did a review of site designers to bring a little clarity to the diversity that exists on the Internet. We selected functional and popular website designers that are worth paying attention to.
And you have to determine the best site designer for yourself.
- WIX website builder with free functionality
- SQURESPACE - paid site builder with a trial period
- WEEBLY website builder with free starter plan
- JIMDO - a paid site builder with free features
- WEBS Bilder Site with Free Package
WIX free website builder
The WIX website builder is also good for being a beginner oriented. Each element of the workshop is equipped with detailed information on its use. And if the text option is not very suitable, and you want to immediately see what and how to do, then WIX has video tutorials including such issues as setting fonts, choosing colors and backgrounds for the site, adding images, text and photo galleries as well as SEO settings.
The website builder has a user friendly interface. To add an element to the page, you just need to drag it from the toolbar. But when changing the template, you will have to work hard to put everything in its place, because WIX templates are not interchangeable.
WIX website builder supports its administrative part in translation into many languages, including German, Polish, French, Russian. More pleasantly, WIX also translates help.
One of the unpleasant moments in WIX is the extremely noticeable advertisement of the platform itself on the pages of an already published site, however, for an additional fee, this ad unit can be removed. Particular attention should be paid to the address that will be assigned to the site after publication:
http: //* account_name*.wix.com/*approved_ by the author_site_name *
This address cannot be called convenient or easy to remember, but even the minimum plan for hosting with WIX will allow you to become the host of a domain name in areas such as .com, .org, .net, .biz, .co.uk and .info.
It is also worth mentioning that WIX has more advanced plans that provide more disk space. You can use it as an online store designer with the e-Commerce plan.
In the Wix site builder, the pros and cons are as follows:
Website builder pros:
- a large number of templates;
- intuitive interface;
Website builder cons:
- when changing the template, the content will have to be re-arranged;
- in the free version there is an advertisement for a site builder;
- in the free version, the site name is too long.
SQUARESPACE - a paid website-builder with a trial period
Squarespace is a paid website builder, but developers have left the opportunity to test the platform for 14 days with limited capabilities.
During the test period, it is impossible to publish your site, which means that you can not fully test all the provided options for collecting statistics and SEO.
But the main advantage of Squarespace is their templates. When you look at their templates, you get the feeling that a professional designer has been working on them for more than a month.
The samples contain high-quality photographs, so the templates are well suited for artists, musicians, sculptors and other artists to demonstrate their work.
The main difference from most other site designers is the separation of the areas of content editing and development of the very appearance or design of the site. Perhaps some users will find this uncomfortable, because what we created in the
"Edit Content" mode will not always correspond to how the material will look in the preview mode, and constantly switching between these two modes can be tedious.
Although personally, such a separation seemed convenient enough to me when, when working with a design, you don't hurt texts, which means that there is no possibility of accidental corrections.
Squarespace developers have taken care to make customizing the look of the templates as flexible as possible.
For each area of the page there is a block in which settings are made for the size, type and color of the fonts, the general background and other parameters.
However, for a beginner who is just starting to work with this site builder, such a number of options can be confusing.
In addition to many customizable parameters, Squarespace provides the ability to embed code in some areas of the site being created: the header (header), the footer of the website, as well as the "404 page".
Website builder pros:
- high quality templates;
- separation of the content editing area and the appearance of the site.
Website builder cons:
- lack of a free version of a site builder;
- the presence of restrictions on the implementation of code on the page;
- too wide possibilities for editing templates for beginners.
WEEBLY website builder with free starter plan
If you are looking for a website builder for free and in Russian, then you should pay attention to this solution. Weebly is very suitable for a small business card site.
The free tariff has a limit of 5 pages for the site, and with the latest updates from the developers you can place a small online store on it. This designer offers its users about a hundred templates of good quality.
Also a positive feature of these patterns is their interchangeability.
Those. creating a site on one template, the author can easily transfer it to another; This feature of Weebly is positively different from Squarespace.
Although, on the other hand, interchangeability betrays their uniformity.
In Weebly, you can select the language of the administrative part, but the localization has not been thorough enough.
This aspect does not affect functionality, but introduces its discomfort.
In order to add elements to the page in Weebly, you need to drag them from the toolbar on the left, this platform is very similar to WIX, although it does not present such a variety of functional units.
By retaining only the basic elements in his palette, Weebly greatly facilitated the understanding and perception of his constructor.
Despite the small number of tools, Weebly has implemented a fairly convenient code editor. At the same time, all pages of the developed site, as well as the CSS file of the site, lend themselves to editing, which allows you to expand the author's capabilities.
Another feature of Weebly is the ability to fully edit the site in viewing mode for mobile phones.
Those the platform does not impose any restrictions on adding or removing elements in this mode, while in WIX the viewing mode for a mobile phone is greatly reduced in its capabilities. The developers of the WIX platform left only editing the orientation of the "Menu" button on the site and setting the background.
Website builder pros:
- intuitive interface;
- good for beginners;
- convenient code editor;
- there is the ability to edit templates in viewing mode for mobile phones.
Website builder cons:
- insufficiently thorough localization;
- the templates are mostly of the same type, but of good quality.
As a free website builder for a small business websites or small online store, Weebly might be the best option. Get ready to pay extra for the rest.
JIMDO - a paid website builder with free features
Partially free platform for creating websites, that is, you do not need to pay for the initial tariff with minimal features.
Jimdo is another version of the site builder with an intuitive interface, but for those who used to use such constructors as Weebly or WIX, in which you need to drag the necessary element to the page, it may not seem very convenient.
The principle of adding is to click on the "Plus" button in the menu of an already existing item and select the item from the drop-down list.
Nevertheless, the palette of tools that Jimdo has is quite diverse - it has everything to create a business card website and an online store.
Jimdo also has about 200 templates that are included in its free package, not to mention those that become available when purchasing JimdoPro and JimdoBusiness tariffs.
When choosing a template, we see which parts of it we can edit and which ones not. This is a very good idea, especially when we choose what exactly on our site we will focus.
Also, do not forget about the interchangeability of Jimdo templates, which will help us easily switch to a new sample.
Unfortunately, the developers did not give the opportunity to fully view the available templates, so in order to finally make a choice, you will need to do a few extra actions.
The same can be said about editing small objects - the formatting menu is uncomfortably stretched out, which makes it unclear what's what.
Particularly noteworthy is Jimdo as an online store website builder.
Many options are available for settings: the currency of the online store, the country of its legal address, based on the specified country, the value-added tax on products can be calculated, you can configure the status of goods in the store and describe the time it takes for delivery and edit the letter templates, sent to the customer.
Also in the more advanced tariff plans of JimdoPro and JimdoBusiness, you can choose payment methods for the created online store.
Website builder pros:
- wide range of templates;
- a good palette of tools for the online store;
- A powerful free site building platform.
Website builder cons:
- inconvenient display of templates when they are selected;
- inconvenient editing of small items.
Paid WEBS WebSite Bilder with Free Package
Webs also refers to the type of constructors in which the user immediately sees what he is creating, i.e. when you publish a site on the Internet, it will look similar.
The interface is organized quite simply - in order to add an element, you need to drag it to the workspace.
However, the creators of Webs slightly confused the registration procedure by the fact that the name of the future site must be entered at least twice.
Webs has many colorful templates, but in free mode you can use only a few of them. An unpleasant moment in Webs is the time for updating the theme when it changes.
When the topic is fully updated, it will be necessary to make additional adjustments, as Templates are not completely interchangeable.
Webs has a notable opportunity - creating sites with a membership system, and not all site designers can boast of this option.
Sites of this type allow you to display part of the content only for registered and logged in users, this toolkit also allows you to manage all existing users.
While Weebly allows you to fully edit the HTML / CSS of a user's site, Webs only allows you to embed individual blocks containing HTML code.
Website builder pros:
- intuitive interface;
- the ability to create sites with a membership system.
Website builder cons:
- long loading time of a new template when changing it;
- limited code injection capabilities;
- confusing registration and site name procedures.
Create your own website with best free website builder
Well, if you want more freedom of action and greater opportunities for your website, you can always try a full-fledged shared hosting.
We offer excellent blog hosting at an affordable price for everyone.
Which site builder to choose? I want to note that each of the listed site designers has its advantages and is designed for specific purposes.
Thus, if you are just starting out, then Weebly will suit you well because of its ease of use. If you plan to use designers on an ongoing basis and create sites of various subjects, then WIX is the best option.
To create an online store, in my opinion, Jimdo will do well with its flexible approach to setting it up.
And if you want to create your own online club, the answer will be Webs with the option of sites with a membership system.
For more experienced users, the flexible and slightly intricate Squarespace is well suited.
Of course, paid website builders vs free website builder version provides much more opportunities.

SKELETONWITCH has "When Paradise Fades", the second track from their album, Devouring Radiant Light due out July 20th. The band's guitarist Nate Garnette calls it journey, the kind that is "a supercharged nano-epic that takes you from greasy rock n roll, to off-the-rails blackened destruction and beyond."
Listen to "When Paradise Fades" below.
Since their formation in 2003, SKELETONWITCH have been known for blending and subverting metal subgenres. The members' collective love of Judas Priest, classic-era Metallica and Immortal has always been evident, however, it's the band's blacker leanings that have shifted to the forefront of this latest offering.
Devouring Radiant Light was recorded by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou (High on Fire, Kvelertak, Chelsea Wolfe) at GodCity Studio in Salem, MA. The band's developed a friendly rapport with Ballou that provided the familiarity necessary to embrace uncharted creative territory.
SKELETONWITCH will tour Europe in support of Devouring Radiant Light starting this month. U.S. fall dates with System of a Down and At The Drive-In have also been confirmed. Check out the U,S. list below and keep an eye out for more forthcoming dates .
10/13: San Bernardino, CA – Glen Helen Amphitheater ^
10/16: Phoenix, AZ – Talking Stick Resort Arena ^

Salina Central boys basketball coach Doug Finch challenged his squad at halftime.
His team answered in the biggest way.
The Mustangs stormed back from 14 points down, locking down the Buhler Crusaders for a 56-44 victory Friday at Mabee Arena.
After trading buckets in the first few moments of the game, the Mustangs settled with an 8-7 cushion. The Crusaders closed out the opening frame on a 9-0 spurt, giving them a 16-8 advantage after one quarter.
Buhler didn't stop there, powering its way to a 26-12 lead. Central junior David Grammer brought the Mustangs to within nine at the break with five points at the end, pulling Central to a 26-17 deficit.
Central turned to its full-court press to complete the comeback. The Mustangs held the Crusaders to just seven points in the third frame, knotting up the score in the process at 33-33.

FedExCup and the Dell Technologies Championship
- Projected Points needed to advance to the BMW Championship: 757
- The top 30 players following the BMW Championship qualify for the TOUR Championship the following week. Prior to the TOUR Championship, a points reset will take place, giving all players in the field a mathematical opportunity to win the FedExCup title. The top five players control their own destiny and would claim the FedExCup with a victory at East Lake.
- Vijay Singh (2008), Henrik Stenson (2013) and Rory McIlroy (2016) are the only players to win the Dell Technologies Championship and FedExCup title in the same year. Singh (2004, 2008) and McIlroy (2012, 2016) are also the only players to win the Dell Technologies Championship twice.
First-Round Leaderboard
Dustin Johnson 66 (-5)
Kyle Stanley 67 (-4)
Marc Leishman 67 (-4)
Sergio Garcia 67 (-4)
Jon Rahm 67 (-4)
Dustin Johnson (No. 1 in the FedExCup)
Dustin Johnson birdied the 10th hole at TPC Boston to get his opening round underway and converted a putt of less than five feet for eagle at No. 18 to make the turn 4-under. His inward nine of 1-under contributed to a 5-under 66.
In his eighth appearance at the Dell Technologies Championship, Johnson's 66 marked his lowest opening round at TPC Boston. Johnson's best result in the Dell Technologies Championship is T4 (twice, 2009, 2012). He finished T8 at TPC Boston last year.
With a playoff victory over Jordan Spieth at THE NORTHERN TRUST last week in the first FedExCup Playoffs event, it marked Johnson's 16th career win on the PGA TOUR, his fourth win this season and his fourth victory in a FedExCup Playoffs event.
Johnson is seeking to join Vijay Singh (2008) as the only players to win THE NORTHERN TRUST and Dell Technologies Championship in the same season.
Johnson is tied for the most FedExCup Playoffs victories (4 with Rory McIlroy), top-5 finishes (9 with Jason Day and Tiger Woods) and top-10 finishes (16 with Jim Furyk).
Johnson looks to return to East Lake Golf Club as the No. 1 seed in the FedExCup for the second consecutive season. He is seeking to advance to the TOUR Championship for the eighth time in his career.
A 16-time winner on the PGA TOUR, Johnson extended his streak of winning at least once a year to 10 straight, the current PGA TOUR record, following the first of four wins this season at the Genesis Open. Johnson won the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship in his next start. His third win of the season in three consecutive starts, at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play, made him the first player to win each of the four World Golf Championships events, completing the 'WGC Slam'.
Johnson took the No. 1 spot in the FedExCup standings after the win in Austin, Texas, and held it for 17 straight events before relinquishing it to Jordan Spieth at The Open. After injuring his back in a fall on the eve of the Masters, Johnson withdrew from the first major of the season. He returned to the TOUR with a T2 at the Wells Fargo Championship and posted just one additional top-10 result (T8/RBC Canadian Open) before the FedExCup Playoffs began.
Johnson owns the longest drive of the season, a 439-yard tee-shot at No. 16 during round one of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. His longest drive in round one at TPC Boston was 345 yards at the par-4 6th hole.
Here's a look at Johnson's year-by-year results in the FedExCup: 2008 (134), 2009 (14), 2010 (5), 2011 (4), 2012 (8), 2013 (13), 2014 (30), 2015 (7), 2016 (2), 2017 (currently 1st).
FedExCup Playoffs starts – 31 (including this week)
FedExCup Playoffs wins – 4 (2017 & 2011 THE NORTHERN TRUST, 2016 & 2010 BMW Championship)
FedExCup Playoffs top-5s – 9
FedExCup Playoffs top-10s – 16
First-Round Lead Notes
For the 13th time on the PGA TOUR Johnson has held the first-round lead/co-lead, converting just one into a victory the previous 12 times – at the 2010 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am.
The largest 18-hole lead at the Dell Technologies Championship belongs to Mike Weir, who held a three-stroke lead after firing 61 in 2008. The 10-under score is also the lowest opening-round in tournament history.
Tiger Woods (2006) and Steve Stricker (2009) are the only first-round leaders/co-leaders at the Deutsche Bank Championship to carry that lead on to victory.
Seven of 43 first-round leaders/co-leaders have gone on to win on the PGA TOUR this season, most recently Jordan Spieth at The Open Championship.
Kyle Stanley (No. 19 in the FedExCup)
Kyle Stanley hit 15 of 18 greens and got up-and-down on the three holes where he missed the green to post a 4-under 67, the lone bogey-free round of the day. It marks his lowest round in 11 trips around TPC Boston.
Stanley has made three previous starts at the Dell Technologies Championship (2011/T10, 2012/T42, 2013/MC).
Stanley earned his second PGA TOUR title when he defeated Charles Howell III in a playoff at the Quicken Loans National in July. He also won the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open, a span of 135 starts between victories.
Stanley entered the week No. 19 in the FedExCup and is projected No. 7 after the first round. This is his fifth season advancing to the FedExCup Playoffs but he has yet to advance to the TOUR Championship. He finished 34th in 2011 and 31st in 2012.
The 29-year-old Washington state native and Clemson product was an accomplished amateur player. He was a member of the 2007 Walker Cup team which consisted of current PGA TOUR players Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Billy Horschel, Chris Kirk, Colt Knost, Jamie Lovemark and Webb Simpson.
Marc Leishman (No. 20 in the FedExCup)
Marc Leishman's 4-under 67 is his second-best opening round on TOUR this season (66/Quicken Loans National) and follows three consecutive over-par opening rounds (73/WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, 75/PGA Championship, 71/THE NORTHERN TRUST).
Leishman missed the cut at last week's THE NORTHERN TRUST to drop six spots in the FedExCup standings (No. 14 to No. 20) entering the Dell Technologies Championship. It marked the third missed cut for Leishman in 22 starts this season, and first since THE PLAYERS. His projected standing in the FedExCup is No. 8 after the first round at TPC Boston.
Leishman's best finish in eight previous appearances at the Dell Technologies Championship is T15 in his tournament debut in 2009.
Leishman's victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard is one of five top-10s this season (5th/CIMB Classic, 1st/Arnold Palmer Invitational, T9/WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, T5/Quicken Loans National, T6/The Open Championship).
Leishman currently sits No. 6 in the International Team standings for the 2017 Presidents Cup to be held at Liberty National in New Jersey later this year as he seeks to make his third appearance in the competition where he a 3-4-1 overall record. In his most recent appearance in 2015 in Korea, Leishman posted a 1-up win over Jordan Spieth in the final-day singles matches. In 2013, he defeated Matt Kuchar 1-up in singles.
Leishman owns five international victories on three different Tours, including three in his native Australia, one in Korea (2006 Jisan Resort Open) and one on the European Tour (2015 Nedbank Golf Challenge).
Sergio Garcia (No. 30 in the FedExCup)
Sergio Garcia mixed six birdies with two bogeys for a 4-under 67, his 15th round in the 60s in 25 trips around TPC Boston. Before the week began, Garcia's scoring average in 24 rounds at TPC Boston was 68.71.
Garcia has recorded two top-10s (T4/2013, T5/2008) and finished outside the top-30 just once (T31/2011) in six appearances at the Dell Technologies Championship.
Garcia entered the week at No. 30 in the FedExCup standings and is projected No. 10. He has advanced to the season finale at East Lake five times. Garcia's best result in the FedExCup is third in 2008.
Garcia is seeking his first top-10 finish on the PGA TOUR since his playoff win over Justin Rose at the Masters Tournament, his first major championship victory.
Jon Rahm (No. 5 in the FedExCup)
In just his 33rd PGA TOUR start (28th as a professional) Jon Rahm continues to make an impression, posting birdies on four of his last five holes to fire a 4-under 67 and sit T2 in his first appearance at the Dell Technologies Championship.
Rahm made his first appearance in a FedExCup Playoffs event at last week's THE NORTHERN TRUST with rounds of 68-68-67-68 to finish T3 with Jhonattan Vegas at 9-under and move past Rickie Fowler into the No. 5 position in the FedExCup. He is projected at No. 3 in the FedExCup. Any player in the top five heading into the TOUR Championship is guaranteed to win the FedExCup with a victory at East Lake.
Rahm earned his first PGA TOUR victory at the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open in spectacular fashion, holing a 60-foot eagle putt on the final hole at Torrey Pines to win by three strokes over Charles Howell III and C.T. Pan. It was one of eight top-10 finishes this season, including a T3 in his first FedExCup Playoffs event at last week's THE NORTHERN TRUST. Rahm lost the Championship Match of the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play to Dustin Johnson and finished runner-up to Kevin Kisner at the DEAN & DELUCA Invitational. An additional top-3 finish came at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, with a T3.
Additional Player Notes
Defending Dell Technologies Bank Championship winner Rory McIlroy birdied the par-5 final hole for a 1-over 72. The two-time champion is making his seventh start at TPC Boston (T37/2010, 1st/2012, T47/2013, T5/2014, T29/2015, 1st/2016).
With six, Adam Scott owns the most top-10 finishes at the Dell Technologies Championship and seeks to extend that record after an even-par 71. Scott, who did not compete in last week's THE NORTHERN TRUST, had not planned to play this week but after the recent birth of his son came earlier than expected Scott flew from Australia and began this week No. 73 in the FedExCup. After round one he is projected at No. 66. Scott, whose 2003 Dell Technologies Championship title was the first of 13 PGA TOUR wins, is one of 10 players to have competed in the FedExCup Playoffs in each of the 11 seasons the competition has existed.
Bubba Watson, who began the week. No. 72 in the FedExCup, fired a 4-over 75 and is projected at No. 85. Watson is in danger of failing to advance to the BMW Championship for the first time in his career. Only two other players have advanced to the BMW Championship in each of the previous 10 seasons – Phil Mickelson (T12/projected No. 46) and Charley Hoffman (T42/projected No. 12).
Jordan Spieth, defeated in a playoff by Dustin Johnson at last week's THE NORTHERN TRUST, sits T42 after a 1-over 72. In 2015, the only time Spieth missed the cut in four previous starts at the Dell Technologies Championship, he went on to win the FedExCup.
Brendan Steele began the week at No. 16 on the Presidents Cup U.S. Team standings. Here's a look at how the contenders for the last few spots in the Presidents Cup U.S. Team performed;
Patrick Reed
Charley Hoffman 10 T42 (10)
Kevin Chappell
Brian Harman
Jason Dufner
Gary Woodland
Brandt Snedeker 15 DNP (injured)
Brendan Steele 16 T12 (14)
Rod Pampling began the week at No. 71 in the FedExCup standings and sits No. 75 after a 1-over 72. Pampling is seeking to advance to the BMW Championship for the first time since 2007, the inaugural year of the FedExCup.
Luke List recorded eight birdies in a 3-under 68. Entering this week, List sits No. 3 in total birdies made this season with 355, behind Charley Hoffman (381) and Tony Finau (365).
Kevin Tway (T30) aced the 195-yard 11th hole using a 5-iron, marking his first hole-in-one on the PGA TOUR, and second of his career. In 2013, Tway aced No. 12 at El Bosque CC in the final round of the Mexico Championship on the Web.com Tour. Tway's father, Bob, an eight-time PGA TOUR winner, made seven aces during his PGA TOUR career and owns three on PGA TOUR Champions.

Newcomer's Guide to Finding Solo Games on BoardGameGeek
- Mark MorriseUnited States
Salt Lake City
Advanced Search: (new BGG format) Click in the Search box in the upper-right corner of the page; in the second drop-down box below the Search box, click the "Advanced Search" option.
(old BGG format) Click on the yellow "Adv. Search" at the top of the page.
In the "# of Players Range" box, set the first drop-down to "1", and click "Submit." This will list solo-playable games, including both strictly solo games (games designed for solo mode only) and multi-player games that include an official solo variant published with the game.
If you set both drop-down lists in that box to "1" and click the button "Exact (include games that only support exactly this range)" and submit the search, you will get a list of strictly solo games.
Search by game "Family": (new BGG format) Click in the Search box in the upper-right corner of the page; in the first drop-down box below the Search box, which says "Board Games," click the drop-down arrow and choose "Families"; then click in the Search box again and type "Solitaire"; in the drop-down box that appears, click on "Solitaire Games."
(old BGG format) At the top of the page, to the right of the "SEARCH" prompt, is a drop-down menu. From that menu, choose "Families." Then in the white box to the right of that, type "Solitaire" and then click the "Go" button to the right of that. This will bring up a list of game families with the word "solitaire" in them. Click on the one named, "Solitaire Games."
The result will be a list of games similar to the first search above, i.e., both strictly solo games and games that include an official solo variant.
Cooperative games: Because cooperative games have players playing "against" the game, most cooperative games can be played solo by taking on two or more roles. You can find cooperative games on BGG by clicking on Advanced Search -- Filter on Board Game Mechanic -- Co-operative Play.
Games with an unofficial solo variant: The "1 Player guild" is a group of BoardGameGeek members who enjoy solo gaming. Their Solitaire Resources page includes links to unofficial solo variants under the heading, "Geeklists -- Solo Variants Lists".
What solo games are popular? To find popular solo games, the best place to start is with the "2016 People's Choice Top 100 Solo Games (+)." The list is in reverse order; start on the bottom of page 4 to see the #1 game.
Recommended with 1, created by Alex Cannon, is an excellent list of the top 2000 games that BGG users have recommended for one player.
Other places to find popular solo games include the 1 Player guild's Solitaire Games on Your Table (SGOYT) geeklist, where solo gamers post reviews of the games they are currently playing, and the Solitaire Games on Your Table Spreadsheet, which tracks everyone and everything posted to the SGOYT lists.
The games on this list, including games added by BGG members, are organized in the same order as the 2016 People's Choice Top 100 Solo Games list. At the end of this list are games not on 2016 People's Choice Top 100 Solo Games list.
This list has favorite solo games added by BGG members and some games I have added, which include:
- A few noteworthy games, such as the #1 solo game (Mage Knight Board Game), the most played solo games (Friday and Hostage Negotiator), and some specially mentioned games (such as Freedom: The Underground Railroad and Hoplomachus: Origins);
- Coop games that you would not ordinarily find using the first two searches described above; these are marked as "Coop as Solo" at the beginning of that game's description (some games added by BGG members follow this convention); and
- Multi-player games with a solo variant that you would not ordinarily find using the first two searches described above; these are marked as "Multi-player with Solo" at the beginning of that game's description (some games added by BGG members also follow this convention).
The Solitaire Resources page of the 1 Player guild has lists of solo board games under the heading, "Geeklists -- Other."
A comprehensive geeklist of 1-player games is "Always alone... the definitive list of single player games" posted by Mike Keane.
A list of shorter solo games published in 2015 is the "2015 Best Thematic Solitaire for the a Spare-Time Challenged."
Ricky Royal, who publishes written reviews and playthrough videos of solo board games on his Box of Delights channel, created a 2015 top 100 list of his favorite solo games. Counting down from game #100, this list has a detailed, entertaining written review for each entry.
Kevin Erskine, who organized the People's Choice Top 100 Solo Games in 2014, 2015, and 2016 (many thanks, Kevin!), published his own "My Top almost 100 Solo Games - 2015."
These are just a few of the solo game lists out there. There are many others!
The 1 Player guild has a wealth of information about solo boardgaming, including:
- A Forum devoted solely to solo games
- An ongoing "Solitaire Games On Your Table" geeklist, mentioned above, where solo gamers post reviews of the games they are currently playing
- A ongoing Solitaire Games on Your Table Spreadsheet, also mentioned above, which tracks everyone and everything posted to the SGOYT lists
This is a partial list of 1 Player guild resources; there is much more. The 1 Player guild members are very friendly and happy to answer your questions about solo gaming.

Peter Tysver
Peter Tysver was born in Gloucester, MA in 1946 into a family of Gillnet fishermen. Tysver's love of the sea began as a teenager when he assisted on his father's boat, while his love of painting developed during summer evening visits to the studios of Rocky Neck artists.
With money earned, assisting on his father's boat, he purchased his first set of oil paints at a neighborhood yard sale and a canvas board at the Yankee General Store. With these newfound materials in hand (the paint set was a Grumbacher with an instructional guide enclosed on "How to Paint a Still Life"), he attempted his first oil.
Benefitting from critiques and encouragement from Raymond Frazier, a Clipper Ship painter in Gloucester, Tysver quickly learned the importance of good draftsmanship. After graduating from Gloucester High School, he attended The Vesper George School of Art, winning the Vesper George Memorial Scholarship in his third year, graduating in 1967. Trained in an academic manner, his instructors included Robert Douglas Hunter, Don Stone, and Sydney Willis. Tysver worked as a commercial artist with the Wilkes Craft Co. of Beverly, MA for a short period of time and then took a position in 1968 with Oliver Bros.
Restoration at the Fenway studios in Boston. Immersed in the tradition of the Boston painters (studios were previously occupied by Frank W.

Liver Elastography: Investigating Liver Fibrosis
Liver Elastography is the imaging of liver fibrosis using ARFI technology for the non-invasive and reproducible investigation of fibrosis in patients.
Thanks to recent advances in Ultrasound and MRI technology at Queensland X-ray, we can now help diagnose and treat fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disorders including chronic Hepatitis and Fatty Liver Disease.
Liver fibrosis occurs when tough, fibrous scar tissue of the liver accumulates. When excessive scar tissues builds up over a long period of time, it can result in cirrhosis of the liver. This can lead to the liver becoming unsettled which can disrupt blood flow through the organ as well as its overall function within the body.
QXR utilises new non-invasive Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) software for the accurate and reproducible quantification of liver stiffness in multiple patient groups.
What is the difference between Shear Wave Elastography and Transient Elastography (Fibroscan)*?
Accuracy: Accuracy has been proven on numerous studies for both techniques
Further Information: SWE can provide further information on Portal HTN, focal mass, gross cirrhotic changes
HCC Formation: Can screen for HCC formation at the same time
Less Failure: Less failure in obese patients with severe fatty liver disease

For 25 years the CRN Awards has been a respected, sought-after acknowledgement of superior channel achievements, especially in the UK . Judging from feedback given by previous winners, receiving the award makes a difference to a business in the eyes of customers and partners. This year Quest is nominated for EMERGING VENDOR OF THE YEAR.
Since the divestiture from Dell, the NEW Quest ( under Francisco partners and Elliott management) has focused on channel as the route to market globally. To this end Quest has split into three business units , and adopted a two-tier channel- first and channel- only strategy.
Quest is bringing great new technology to the forefront of our market, especially SaaS- based products such as Quest OnDemand . This is a new and exciting play for Quest, and by increasing R & D funding, we're ensuring our products are " cloud ready" and in line with our customers ' needs.
Quest's channel strategy over the past year has changed and evolved, partly due to our distribution RFI process, which was rolled out on an "EMEA- wide" scale. We've made Quest relevant to distribution by rationalizing the number of distributors. This means we use a profiling interview process to select distributors that are not only aligned to our business units but also distributors that feel Quest is the right choice for them . By rationalizing, we've enabled our addressable market to grow for distribution and therefore the profit pools .
One of the key factors of Quest's recent evolution is our channel partner relationships . With the onboarding of new distis through the RFI process, we've rejuvenated relationships to make them more meaningful to both Quest and the channel.
All in all we've designed our processes and programs this year to put channel first. Quest has created channel- ready bundles with preferential pricing for our exciting SaaS based technologies. For our partners we've spent a huge amount of effort and time to streamline operations so Quest is easy to do business with. Further, we've created accessible profit pools in the addressable market, margins and rebates for both reseller and distribution accounting, for up to 70% in some cases going back to the channel. Our certification training is now all online and free of charge.
We know that for Quest to succeed on a large scale, we must understand, respect and reward the channel - to leverage it in the best possible way so everyone benefits. For this reason, we 'll continue on the road we've taken with our channel, and we are extremely excited for the future for both Quest and our partner community.

Wednesday on MSNBC's "Hardball," Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said her colleagues in the Senate were ready to play "hardball" to delay President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee's confirmation to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy until after the 2018 midterms. When asked what a Trump pick would look like, Harris said, "We are looking at a destruction of the Constitution of the United States based on all the folks he's been appointing thus far for lifetime appointments. He's been appointing ideologues. He's been appointing people who have refused to agree Brown v Board of Education is settled law.he's been appointing people not even qualified by bar associations. So this has got to be one—we all need to understand this to be one of the most serious fights we have yet to have had with this president. And we cannot relent." When asked if Democrats will play hardball, Harris said, "based on every conversation I have had with my colleagues this afternoon, everybody is prepared to play hardball." When asked if the process can be delayed until after the election, Harris added, "We have to fight to push it off. Listen, unlike Merrick Garland, where there were eight months left in that term,

Sebastian was the name of a poster who was very active in the early stages of the Miniclip Club Penguin Forums.
He was originally banned for being under the age of 13, but ended up making a habit of creating massive amounts of alternate accounts that he used to post with. While always promising to "be nice", sebastian never quite lived up to the promise and was promptly banned on the spot far too many times.
Because he had made so many accounts with the intent and announcements to "attack" the forums, for years anytime there was foul play the community almost always puts initial blame on sebastian, however Zixty8 is now used as a scapegoat. Because of his infamy in this field, his legacy has been the subject of many jokes including the fake hack-job carried out by Admin X.

''A work is complete if in it the master's intentions have been realised."
The late works of the great Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, are now on display at the National Gallery in London. The exhibition has been organised in collaboration with many institutes from around the world such as: Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, RAFA (Royal Academy of Fine Arts) Sweden, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minnesota, and National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, to name but a few. This is a rare chance to experience the passion, emotion, innovation and artistic skill of the great master with a never before seen view of a collection of his late works.
Many of these works of art were not displayed in his life time. And although his later years were tumultuous and included many personal tragedies, he continued to paint right up to his last days.
Rembrandt's creativity got new strength in his later life, when he was experimenting with new ideas, contemplating new techniques with brush strokes, palette and playing with the ever present enigma of light and shade. There are 91 paintings and etchings and drawings exhibited in seven rooms of the gallery. The exhibition explores the Dutch master's highly expressive and radical artistic style in works from the early 1650s until his death in 1669.
Born in Leiden, The Netherlands (15 July 1606-4 October 1669), Rembrandt grew up in a well-to-do family. His father was a miller and his mother was the daughter of a banker. Rembrandt drew inspiration from the world around him as well as works of his predecessors. He even got inspiration from Mughal miniature paintings and made copies of them, perhaps in order to study the costumes and textiles, a subject that obviously fascinated him, as can be seen by his depiction of oriental costumes and turbans in many of his paintings. He was also inspired by Italian and German artists and the arts of Netherlands of the 15th Century. He suffered many losses in his later life, like the loss of his beloved wife Saskia and three of their children. He also suffered bankruptcy, and a legal and acrimonious
battle with a former lover. He also suffered the loss of his common law wife and only remaining son Titus.
In the final years of his life in spite of all the sadness and losses he encountered in life, he gained a powerful insight into expressing human characters. The themes that preoccupied Rembrandt as he grew older were self-scrutiny, experimentation, light, observation of everyday life and even other artists' works; as well as expressions of intimacy, contemplation, conflict and reconciliation.
More than any other artist, Rembrandt consistently represented his own likeness throughout his artistic career. Around eighty painted, drawn or etched self-portraits are known, ranging in style from quick sketches to highly composed likenesses. The late self-portraits in particular are incredibly thoughtful and honest, and attest to Rembrandt's ability to convey old age in a highly sympathetic light. Rembrandt's Self-Portrait at the Age of 63, painted in the final year of his life, reveals that he never lost the urge to experiment, even with compositions as familiar as his own likeness. In the portrait of the artist's son Titus (about 1656) we can find a familiar representation of the sadness of the young boy with his downcast eyes and pensive expression.
His last self- portrait was painted at the age of 63. There is a kind of detachment that we find in this painting. He was a keen observer, even of himself, and we can see his unsparing honesty which includes even the loose flesh hanging under his chin, the pouches under his eyes, all accurately conveyed. Rembrandt was a master at portraying light and shade in his paintings. Through this he conveyed even themes of spiritual and intellectual enlightenment. For example, in the painting of the Adoration of the Shepherds, Mary and baby Jesus are seen resting in a stable at night. A man carrying a lantern leads a group of shepherds towards the holy family. Here Rembrandt added a surface tone to capture the subtle nuances of light. In his painting Christ at Emmaus, the image portrays heavenly light emanating from Christ's halo.
Another painting worth mentioning is called The Suicide of Lucretia, 1666, which is one of the greatest paintings of Rembrandt's final years. This sorrowful picture illustrates the poignant death of Lucretia which led to a revolt that overthrew the monarchy and established the Republic of Rome. It illustrates Rembrandt's masterful use of chiaroscuro—enhancing the three-dimensional quality of Lucretia's face and body. In addition, Rembrandt goes to great lengths to express Lucretia's inner mental feelings of virtue, family honour and duty—through her eyes and facial expression. He was the first artist to manipulate paint on the canvas with a palette knife.
In his later years, Rembrandt tried to find a way to represent a figure immersed in thought or contemplation. Contemplation and introspection were his main theme at this time. One of his greatest gifts was that he could turn anything ordinary into an object of art.

Former Stanford wide receiver Doug Baldwin has really blossomed in his fifth season with the Seattle Seahawks. In last weekend's 35-6 win over host Baltimore, Baldwin was the Seahawks' most-targeted receiver (nine) while hauling in six catches for 82 yards and three touchdowns.
This gives Baldwin eight touchdown catches in the past three weeks, and 11 on the season. He ranks third in the NFL with 11 receiving touchdowns, and is the first player with eight receiving scores in three weeks since 2006.
Seattle teammate Richard Sherman, who also played with Baldwin at Stanford, had another solid effort at cornerback while helping the Seahawks win their fourth in a row and six of their past seven. He added his second interception of the season on Sunday, also making two tackles and defending a pass.
Tight end Konrad Reuland of the Ravens was signed off of Baltimore's practice squad after being on it for parts of the past two seasons. He appeared in 26 games for the New York Jets in 2012 and 2013, including three starts. He made his 2015 NFL debut on Sunday, appearing on 38 percent of Baltimore's special teams snaps during the loss to Seattle.
Elsewhere in Week 14 of the NFL season for former Stanford players:
Fourth-year defensive back Johnson Bademosi briefly appeared on defense in Cleveland's 24-10 win against San Francisco, also playing 72 percent of special teams snaps. The Browns (3-10) snapped a seven-game losing streak in the process. Tight end Jim Dray came off the bench, playing 47 percent of offensive snaps to help Cleveland rush for 230 yards on 41 carries and two touchdowns. Dray also recovered Phil Dawson's attempted onside kick in the dying moments f the game, sealing the win for the Browns.
Rookie linebacker Shayne Skov was re-signed by San Francisco on Dec. 8 after a season-ending injury to tight end Garrett Celek. He was in uniform for Sunday's loss at Cleveland, appearing on 84 percent of San Francisco's special teams snaps.
Offensive guard David DeCastro registered his 10th-straight positive Pro Football Focus grade (+1.7), helping Pittsburgh defeat rival Cincinnati, 33-20, in a must-win division game. DeCastro excelled in the running game with a +2.2 rating, spending most of his day up against All-Pro defensive tackle Geno Atkins. He also threw the block which sprung DeAngelo Williams for his game-clinching touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Steelers (8-5) are in a strong position for the playoffs with three contests to play.
Ryan Hewitt, a blocking tight end, started but only played 17 percent of offensive snaps and 45 percent of special teams snaps on day when Cincinnati was forced to play catch-up in the Bengals' loss to Pittsburgh, but remain firmly in the playoff mix. Hewitt finished the day with a catch for nine yards.
Tight end Coby Fleener of the Indianapolis Colts started in a 51-16 loss to Jacksonville. He was targeted four times, making just one catch for six yards. David Parry started and played 71 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps. He finished the day with three tackles, two solo, while assisting on a tackle for loss in the fourth quarter. Wide receiver Griff Whalen was seldom used as appeared on just 11 percent of offensive plays while playing 50 percent of the Colts' special teams snaps.
For Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck, meanwhile, his short-term future remains up in the air as it becomes more and more doubtful that he will reappear this season. With Matt Hasslebeck also injured, the Colts may turn to Charlie Whitehurst in this weekend's divisional matchup against Houston.
Rookie defensive back Jordan Richards of the New England Patriots suited up after being a healthy scratch in Weeks 12 and 13. New England defeated Houston, 27-6, to improve to 11-2. When asked about Richards sitting two weeks in a row, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said it had nothing to do with the player himself.
"If we could have probably dressed one more player it would have been him in both those games," he said. "I think he has done a really good job for us both defensively and in the kicking game. We just have to see how things work out, but there's no problem at all with him playing. We have a lot of confidence in him and I think he's making great progress."
Patriots' offensive guard Cameron Fleming came off the bench to appear on 16 percent of his team's offensive snap.
Defensive end Josh Mauro of the Arizona Cardinals came off the bench to appear on 29 percent of defensive snaps and 48 percent of Arizona's special teams plays in a 23-20 win at Minnesota. His big contribution came on the Vikings' second half-starting drive, in which Mauro wrapped up the NFL's leading rusher Adrian Peterson in the backfield, jarring the ball free in the process. With his strong performance, Mauro earned a +1.9 Pro Football Focus rating, which was among the Cardinals' leaders in Week 14. Arizona (11-2) holds a two-game lead over Seattle in the NFC West with three games to play. Arizona running back Stepfan Taylor played the second most special teams snaps (56 percent). He also carried the ball once for no gain and caught a screen pass for four yards.
Rookie wide receiver Ty Montgomery of the Green Bay Packers returned to practice for the first time in three weeks following an injury. Montgomery was hopeful to play in Sunday's 28-7 win against Dallas. Green Bay erred on the side of caution with Montgomery and held him out for one more week. Montgomery, who has only appeared in five games this season, will look to make his return against Oakland on Sunday.
Washington linebacker Trent Murphy was relegated to a reserve role in Washington's 24-21 win against Chicago, appearing on just 32 percent of defensive snaps and 65 percent of special teams plays. However, he made the Redskins' play of the day on defense, strip-sacking Jay Cutler in the second quarter for a nine yard loss. Murphy recovered his own forced fumble, helping keep Washington (6-7) in a tie atop the NFC West with Philadelphia.
Rookie offensive tackle Andrus Peat has made a living at left guard in each of the past three weeks. He played 100 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps on Sunday, helping New Orleans defeat Tampa Bay, 24-17. Peat also earned a +2.6 Pro Football Focus rating after going up against All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy for most of the day.
Rookie safety Ed Reynolds of the Philadelphia Eagles continued a fast start to his NFL career as he appeared on 51 percent of defensive snaps and 32 percent of special teams plays. Philadelphia defeated Buffalo, 23-20, thanks to a game-sealing interception by Reynolds, allowing two kneel-downs from Sam Bradford to ice the game. Philadelphia (6-7) is tied with Washington atop the NFC East with three games to play. Philadelphia tight end Zach Ertz, who caught his first TD pass of the season last week, led pass-catchers in targets (7), receptions (5) and yards (98) against Buffalo. His biggest play when the Eagles needed it most, a 41-yard gain on third down in the fourth quarter, which eventually set up the game-winning field goal. At 6-7, the Eagles are tied atop the NFC East with Washington and still in the thick of the playoff hunt
Rookie linebacker A.J. Tarpley of the Buffalo Bills saw his most extended field stint of the season on Sunday after Nigel Bradham's injury, appearing on 42 percent of defensive snaps and 72 percent of special teams snaps in a 30-22 loss against Kansas City. He was credited with a sack in the fourth quarter.
Safety Michael Thomas of the Miami Dolphins played all but two defensive snaps for Miami in Monday night's 31-24 loss to the New York Giants. He finished with five tackles and a tackle for a loss, while the Dolphins (5-8) have the slimmest of chances to make the playoffs.
Tight end Levine Toilolo of the Atlanta Falcons was in on 30 percent of offensive snaps and 57 percent of special teams snaps in Atlanta's 38-0 loss to undefeated Carolina. He was targeted once in the passing game, but finished without a reception as Atlanta fell to 6-7 with playoff hopes still barely alive.
Rookie cornerback Alex Carter of the Detroit Lions, a third-round pick, sustained an ankle injury in training camp and rejoined Detroit practice three weeks ago. However, the Lions are shutting Carter down for the 2015 season, as announced by the team on Monday.

This session provides a high-level review of several of the most frequently used statistical tests, when analyzing data. Tests include Hypothesis Testing (of means and variances) ANOVA analysis, t-Tests and f-Tests. Also covered are the definitions of 'statistical significance' and p-values.
At the end of the session attendees will be familiar with these terms and should be able to both understand results of analysis conducted by others, as well as be able to ask questions about the analysis to ensure correctness. (example: If the average data of two groups of data are being assessed in order to understand if an induced change provides an improvement; "Were the samples themselves pulled from populations that have no, other known reason to be different?"
