The Dutch Golden Age has long been seen as the age of Rembrandt and Vermeer, whose paintings captured the public imagination and came to represent the marvel that was the Dutch Republic. Yet there is another, largely overlooked marvel in the Dutch world of the seventeenth century: books.
In this fascinating account, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen show how the Dutch produced many more books than pictures and bought and owned more books per capita than any other part of Europe. Key innovations in marketing, book auctions, and newspaper advertising brought stability to a market where elsewhere publishers faced bankruptcy, and created a population uniquely well-informed and politically engaged. This book tells for the first time the remarkable story of the Dutch conquest of the European book world and shows the true extent to which these pious, prosperous, quarrelsome, and generous people were shaped by what they read.
"An instant classic on Dutch book history"—César Manrique Figueroa, BMGN - Low Countries Historical Review
"Pettegree and der Weduwen build up a captivating picture of print in the Dutch Golden Age [. . .] The Bookshop of the World marshals and moulds a staggering volume of research material, and is every bit as diverse, copious and sophisticated as the culture it excavates" – James Waddell, Times Literary Supplement
"This new publication really draws the reader into the world of books in the Golden Age, but also into the people's world"—Annemieke Van Roekel, EuroScientist Journal
"A compelling and impressive work"— Ben Higgins, Times Higher Education Supplement (Book of the Week)
"Fluent in style, cleverly structured, and well-researched"—Jaap Harskamp, The Library
"The Dutch Republic during the 17th and much of the 18th century was indeed the "bookshop of the world". In fact, as Pettegree and Der Weduwen show in this excellent account, publishing, newspapers, importing and exporting books and the wider book trade with its published catalogues and book auctions were one of the most innovative and important aspects of the Dutch Golden Age."—Jonathan Israel, author of The Dutch Republic
"Offers a fresh understanding of the fundamental importance of print in early modern Europe. Alert to the growing interdependence of money and power, and searching out evidence for the existence of long-lost public announcements and news sheets as well as books and engravings, Pettegree and Der Weduwen reinterpret the formation of the information system supporting the rise of the Dutch Republic, a grand exemplar of the new commercial state. It is a remarkable achievement."—Harold J. Cook, author of Matters of Exchange
"All printed matter and its makers is grist for the finely grinding mill of Pettegree and Der Weduwen. Their pioneering research feeds into every last field of study in the Dutch seventeenth century, and via the Netherlands into the rest of the literate world. This is a far larger and lesser-known territory than the familiar Republic of Letters, and fuller of surprises."— Gary Schwartz, author of Rembrandt's Universe

Twitter is a rare social network that allows you to change Twitter handle aka username. You can always replace your crappy username with a new one. It is pretty much a useful option.
At times, you want a new handle that goes along with the trend. Moreover, rebranding is an essential part of social media campaigns. @sammiesenior in college wants to be @sammieblogger in her freelance job.
Nevertheless, you can lose followers when changing your Twitter handle. Let's see how it works.
Firstly, your tweets are not entirely disowned. They are rebranded with your new twitter name. All the items in your media are retained. The twitter cover, profile picture, and your twitter background stay the same. Your followers, following, block list, and other settings are not compromised. Except for that little change in your profile URL, nothing changes.
Secondly and more importantly, your old twitter name doesn't link back to you. There is no redirect of any sort.
Though your tweets are rebranded on your profile, they carry your old twitter handle elsewhere. People cannot locate you from their conversations with you. People follow tons of accounts these days. It gets difficult for friends and followers to even find you.
How To Change Twitter Handle (Step-by-Step)
If you still wish to change your Twitter username, here are the steps.
On Desktop
Log in to your Twitter account. Click your profile picture on the top right side of the homepage. Browse to 'Profile & settings > Account'.
Edit your twitter handle in the 'Username' field. It's the first entry in Account settings. Twitter will do a username availability check as you type.
Enter your new @name and hit enter. It will prompt you to enter password again. Type in your Twitter password and click 'Save Changes'. The changes will be applied to your account instantly. Moreover, the URL of your profile page will change too.
On Android Smartphone
Open Twitter by tapping on its app. If you are not already signed in, enter the current username and password, and then, tap login. Tap on your profile picture at the top left corner on display. Browse to 'Settings and privacy > Account'.
Click on Username and then, tap Current username to delete it. Type in your new username and wait for the green checkmark. It ensures the new Twitter handle is available. Tap 'Done' to complete the process. The changes will be reflected on the account and elsewhere immediately.
On iPhone Device
Firstly, tap on the Twitter app, which has a white bird icon on blue background. When logged in, your homepage loads automatically. Else, enter your login credentials and tap Log in. Tap 'Me' menu which has a person-shaped icon at the bottom right.
On the profile page, tap settings icon, located adjacent to your profile picture. Browse to 'Settings and privacy > Account'. Change your twitter handle from Username, which is the topmost option on the page. You can enter your new username by tapping the New field. Tap 'Done' to save changes.

Immediate Effects of Changing Twitter Handle
Here are a few of the effects you'll notice soon after you change the Twitter handle. Don't panic though, it's be nothing you can't recover.
Effectively Losing Out on Followers
You are not literally losing your follower count by changing your Twitter handle. But your following or follower base is going to be affected. People can't find your cause of change in handles. Mentions under your old handle don't link back to your account anymore.
Moreover, your following isn't just the people who follow you. There are people who consistently check out your tweets remembering your profile URL. You are going to lose out on such following too.
Twitter Handle vs. Username
Changing your twitter handle has no effect on the display name. The latter can be changed from the settings too. Changing your display name has no effect on your followers. In simple words, twitter handle is your @name.
In previous sections, we have discussed how to change it. The display name is something that's displayed right below your profile picture. Click 'Edit Profile' from your profile page to edit the display name. People change their display name from time to time.
Basic Rules To Follow When Registering A New Twitter Handle
Your twitter handle cannot be more than 15 characters. Obviously, it shouldn't be already taken. If it's claimed, choose a different one. Your Twitter handle can't contain the words – 'Twitter' or 'Admin'.
It can consist of alphanumeric characters and underscores only. Usernames claimed by deactivated or suspended accounts are not available for pickings.
How To Avoid Losing Followers
If you don't want to lose followers after changing Twitter handle, here's a sweet trick.
You can create another account with your @oldhandle. Use your secondary email or phone number to create that. Mentions under @oldhandle will lead to this account. Post something like "Follow me on @newhandle" from this account. Let people know you've changed names.
Alternatively, you can use this account as a second persona. That is if you don't want your old followers to the @newhandle. You can continue building a formidable profile with established connections. Mentions under @oldhandle no longer appear on this account. However, they can linger on your notifications.

Britain boasts some truly weird and wonderful laws many of them dating back hundreds of years.
There is also the bizarre legislation that everyone believes to be true.
Is it legal to shoot a Welshman with a longbow inside Chester city walls after midnight? No it is illegal to shoot anyone at any time or anywhere.
It is also illegal to handle a salmon suspiciously, carry a plank along the pavement and beat or shake a carpet or rug in the street.
As East Devon District Council announces a £80 on-the-spot fine for people caught feeding birds on its beaches our colleagues at the Mirror looks at 13 of the UK's strangest rules and regulations.
1 Failing to carry a spare dog poo bag
Daventry Council, Northamptonshire, has a fine of up to £100 for dog walkers caught without a poop bag. So if they are stopped AFTER binning a full bag they could still be fined.
2 Cleaning your doormat
Section 60 of the Metropolitan Police Act 1839 makes it an offence to beat a doormat in the street after 8am. Beating your carpet at any time of day could mean a £500 fine.
3 Playing football in the street
The Metropolitan Police Act 1839 makes it an offence to "fly any kite or play at any game to the annoyance of the inhabitants or passengers [...] in any street".
So children playing footie outside your front door could land a £500 fine.
4 Engaging in small talk
Staff at Carlisle City Council were banned from talking about anything other than work. An email sent to 31 workers in 2011 warned them "to be aware of the reason why they are here, which is to work and not to treat the office as a day-to-day holiday camp".
5 Playing knock-a-door-run
The Metropolitan Police Act 1854 makes it an offence to "wilfully and wantonly disturb any inhabitant by pulling or ringing any doorbell or knocking at any door without lawful excuse".
So naughty kids could face a fine of up to £500.
6 Bringing Polish potatoes into England
The Polish Potatoes Order 2004 makes it illegal to "import into England, potatoes which he knows to be or has reasonable cause to suspect to be Polish potatoes".
The order was made after outbreaks of ring rot on Polish potato farms.
7 Handling a salmon suspiciously
According to Section 32 of the Salmon Act 1986 it is illegal "to handle a salmon in suspicious circumstances". Poachers beware.
8 Hanging out the washing
Residents on a new development in Beverley, East Yorkshire, are subject to a "restrictive covenant" which bans them from hanging out the washing or airing clothes outside.
Other common covenants prevent people from putting up fences in front gardens and washing cars outside their homes.
9 Carrying your DIY shopping home
Section 54 of the Metropolitan Police Act 1839 makes it an offence to "roll or carry any cask, tub, hoop, or wheel, or any ladder, plank, pole, showboard, or placard, upon any footway, except for the purpose of loading or unloading any cart or carriage, or of crossing the footway".
So carrying some wood or a set of ladders back from B&Q could lead to a £500 fine.
10 Going as a soldier for fancy dress
According to the Seamen's and Soldiers' False Characters Act 1906, it is illegal to pass yourself off as a member of the Armed Forces.
So dressing up as an admiral for a fancy dress party could land you three months in jail.
The law states it is an offence to "impersonate the holder of a certificate of service or discharge".
11 Asking a stranger for parking change
We've all done it – parked the car only to find we don't have enough change for the ticket.
But asking a stranger for change is still classed as begging under the Vagrancy Act 1824 and could mean you spend a month in "the house of correction".
12 Getting drunk in a pub
According to Section 12 of the Licensing Act 1872 "every person found drunk in any highway or other public place, whether a building or not, or on any licensed premises" could face a £200 fine.
Could this be the way to pay off the national debt? Enforcing this across the land on a couple of Friday nights would surely put us back in the black.
13 Switching on your burglar alarm
The Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 makes it an offence to activate your burglar alarm and leave the house if you have not nominated a "key-holder" who can access your house to switch off the alarm if it goes off.
So, if you have forgotten to give a key to a friendly neighbour, you could technically end up in the dock with the burglar.

Highland Park Einar
Peated Single Malt
Highland Park // Islands, Scotland
Einar [A-nar] Sigurdsson was the joint Earl of Orkney from 1014-1020 along with two of his brothers, which he inherited after his father, Sigurd, died in 1014 at the mighty Battle of Clontarf. His own death came as his youngest brother, Thorfinn was coming of age to claim his share of the earlship. Einar's greed and overbearing ways led to his being killed at the hands of Thorfinn's foster-father. Thorfinn the Mighty, went on to become one of the most powerful of all the earls in Orkney. Einar the whisky is aged in a combination of both European oak and American oak ex-sherry barrels. It is one of six bottlings released in the Warrior series which is only available in Global Travel Retail.
Peated Single Malt100% malted barley from a single distillery. Dried with peat.
Cask TypeAmerican oak ex-sherry, European oak ex-sherry
Tasting Notes
"The nose is full of tropical fruits like banana and mango and has bright citrus notes as well. Smoke is present, but you really have to search for it. The weight of the body is average and has a fair amount of oily slickness to it. The flavor leads a little into the smoked fish territory with a briny and mossy quality battling the fruit factor. All of these flavors dissipate before you can declare a winner, but you are left with a slight coffee bitterness and a dull oaky note on your palate."

One thing we can all agree on is that everybody LOVES THE WEEKEND- So I'm giving a special shout out to Henry Ford this morning. Why? Because Ford Motor Company "invented" the workweek as we know it just about 100 years ago. Sure, labor unions fought like hell and forced his hand, but Ford instituted it and we are still enjoying it to this day. Of course we need even more paid time off in this country but at least we've got our baseline covered. So to all of my friends, here's a reminder of what the weekend is for
I thank you for stopping by today- you could be a million other places but at this moment you are here and I appreciate it. If nobody else is thankful for you this weekend The Progressive Express is. So go have some fun, my friends! It's been a wild week so if you're up to it have a wilder weekend…

Robert taking a break
Wow, this car has come a long way!
The 1934 Ford 4-door sedan featured above,
is owned by Robert Winter and family; from North Tonawanda, New York. The dream restoration project began back in 1981 when Robert traded a running 1941 Buick for a completely disassembled 34 Ford coupe.
(We think he got the better deal here!)
As he worked on it through the years, Robert's family grew and grew, and when the 3rd child came along, the coupe was no longer practical because someone was going to be left at home! Out went the coupe body and in came a sedan body. For the next ten years, Robert's wife Bridget supported the project as Robert worked on the car with the help of their 3 children, Sean, Michael & Catie.
The Winter family is grateful to Dennis Powers, Tom Biles, Tim Shields, Al Zuber, Paul Straus, Paul Hersee, James Hewitt & members of Rods Customs of Buffalo for sharing their talents to convert the pile of parts to Robert's dream car.
Finally, the car became roadworthy in 1991. The body, frame, hood & Potter's trunk are original. It has a four-bar front suspension, 307 Chevy engine and 350 tranny. An 8" Ford rear-end is mounted on semi-elliptic springs. The body is painted Corvette Buckskin while the fenders sport Mercedes-Benz Bison Brown. Robert lives only 20 minutes from MAC's and was a regular customer at the showroom counter, picking up new parts and planning for the future projects. Robert shopped MAC's for the tail lights, cowl lights, brake system components, bumpers, door handles, windshield wiper rebuild kit & numerous other money saving kits.
The car has been driven to numerous shows in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. But as always with a classic, there is more work yet to be done. The car still needs a new interior, as the money for the interior went to kitchen cabinets in the first house. The second time the upholstery cookie jar was filled, the money went for kitchen remodeling in the second house. The third time the new interior money was saved; it went to closing costs on the third house. We think the 1934 sedan will get her new upholstery now, since the grandkids need some rides for ice cream!

9 Things Every Grown-Ass Woman Does When She Has A New Baby
Having a baby can be a wonderfully exciting time in any woman's life, but it can also be a pretty anxious and tiring time, too. Newborns require a lot of work and have this uncanny ability of robbing adults of their sleep, their sanity and (honestly) their will to live. Between the stress and the sleep deprivation, even the most level headed of us end up questioning our sanity and wondering why we thought it was a good idea reproduce in the first place. Still, despite the hardships, there are things grown-ass women do when they have babies that will help them transition into parenthood; things that can make such a drastic life-change more manageable; and things that can make even the most exhausting of newborns, enjoyable and wonderful and, well, all the things we (as new mothers) want to experience.
Every new mother has fears and anxieties at some point and, trust me, that is completely and totally normal. There will be days that seem so painfully long and never-ending, and then there will be days that will fly by and you'll finally start to feel like we have a handle on this whole motherhood thing. Like almost anything else in life, motherhood is an up-and-down experience filled with juxtaposing feelings, and that's never more obvious than your first few days as a new mom. You'll be sore; you'll be overwhelmed; you'll be inundated with information and people who want to meet your new addition and unsolicited advice from those who want to help. Like I said, it's exciting and exhausting and, honestly, when I look back at my first few days as a new mother, they're a blur. I remember bits and pieces, to be sure, but they all kind of bleed together and seem more like a dream than a reality I actually experienced.
Which is why, if you're a grown-ass woman, you'll do these nine things to make sure that those first few days with your new baby are more pleasant and enjoyable, than stressful and taxing. You'll make decisions and choices that set you and your baby up for future success and, well, you'll make no apologies for it. After all, you're a mom now.
She Decides Whether Or Not She's Going To Breastfeed
Deciding whether or not breastfeeding is right for you and your baby is an extremely personal choice. While there will be people on both side of the fence urging you to make a decision they've made themselves, you shouldn't let the pressure of someone else dictate how you decide to feed you baby.
If you want to breastfeed, great, but if you hate breastfeeding, or if you try and you're unsuccessful, there's no shame in choosing formula because, well, the benefits of formula feeding are great too. Every woman and every baby are different. Just because your best friend breastfed her daughter until she was two, doesn't mean you have to do the same.
She Refuses To Apologize For How She's Feeding Her Baby
The benefits of breastfeeding are undeniable, but formula feeding is beneficial to your baby, too. Fed babies are the best kind of babies, and whichever route you decide to take is really none of anyone else's business. As long as your baby has a full tummy, hold off on the unnecessary apologies and, most importantly, don't waste your precious energy trying to justify your choice to someone else.
She Doesn't Hesitate To Enjoy Those Comfy Clothes. Like, All The Time.
Postpartum bodies can be frustrating and weird and sort of unpredictable but also raw and beautiful and incredible. Even though you just lost a good ten pounds or more when you delivered your baby, you probably still look like you're around five months pregnant and, perhaps, you don't feel all that comfortable in your postpartum form. Don't let the bikini clad, photo-shopped celebrities on TV fool you; it's going to take some time for your body to get back to "normal" (whatever that means), which is why you should feel absolutely no shame in wearing nothing but sweats and sweatshirts and/or whatever else it is that makes you feel the most comfortable. After all, you and your body have been through a lot. Comfort is the name of every grown-ass woman's game.
She Sets Some Ground Rules For Visitors
As previously mentioned, everyone is going to want to get to love on your baby once he or she makes their debut. It's great that your little has got such a loving group of family and friends, but you can't get those first few days with your baby back. If you're comfortable with having visitors coming over at all hours of the day to meet your baby, that's great, but if you'd rather spend that time alone with your baby and your partner, don't be shy in requesting that others hold off on their visits until you've had some time to bond as a family, and adjust to your new life.
She Asks For, And Accepts, Help
The great thing about having friends or family over to see the baby is that they often come bearing casseroles. The last thing that a new mom wants to do is cook an entire meal for her family. I mean, if you're breastfeeding you pretty much are the meal, so why would you want to cook one also? If people offer to bring dinner or fold laundry, or to take care of your baby while you catch a quick nap, take it! Now is not the time to be frugal with accepting help that is offered. Take all of it that you can get.
Also, don't be afraid to ask for help. Whether it's from your partner, friends, family members or kind neighbor; you don't need to care for your new baby solo.
She Refuses To Worry About House Work (Or Any Other Work)
The laundry can wait; dishes can wait; emails can wait; important scheduling can wait; dusting and steaming and moping can wait; preparing for that high-level meeting next month can, you guessed it, wait. Give yourself some time to adjust and settle in. Is your work (household or otherwise) important to you? Of course (I'm guessing). But don't stretch yourself too thin. Like I said, your body and mind have been through a lot, so be kind to both and give yourself some time to rest and recover.
She Takes Care Of Herself, Too
You can't take care of a brand new baby, if you don't take care of yourself, first. It's honestly that simple. Take care of yourself, new mom. Do something for yourself.
She Keeps It Real About How She's Feeling
Not every single moment with your new baby is going to be filled with joy. There will be some moments when you can't figure out why you're baby is crying so you just break down and cry too because that seems like the only logical thing to do. There will be exhaustion and stress and bewilderment, and there very well may be some scary personal moments for you. If you're not feeling all that excited or happy, it's important that you don't suppress those feelings or pretend they don't exist. You need to express what's going on to someone (a doctor, a partner, a friend, a family member, someone) so that you can take care of yourself. You may have postpartum depression and not even be aware of it so, by confiding in someone else, you are opening yourself up to get the help that you might need.
Admitting that you're not over-the-moon about your new baby doesn't make you a bad mom, it makes you a strong one.
She Doesn't Apologize For All The New Baby Pictures
Hey, you're excited. You just procreated and your new baby is doing all these adorable things and wearing all of these fantastic outfits and you want to share this new part of your life with family and friends and social media. Don't apologize for it. Upload those 135 pictures and bask in the glory that is new motherhood and your new baby. People don't apologize for sharing pictures of their lunch, so please, don't feel like yo have to apologize for sharing pictures or your little.

It's been a very intense couple of weeks for me. Consuming energy and attention. Causing pain. And reflection.
One thought on "another lesson learned"
You've done a lot of realising and it sounds as though you've had a rough time coming to terms with reality. You are not alone. None of us can wipe out the past. None of us can take back words said. And trying to help those who won't be helped is a frustrating and, ultimately, fruitless pastime.
If you can make sure that you don't squander time and live life on the basis that every minute is precious to you then you will have achieved something very very few people achieve. But you are further than most people already – you realise!

Images > Las Vegas Iron MaidenQuest
Viva Las Vegas!! What could be a better excuse to go to Las Vegas but to catch Iron Maiden playing at a very small, very kewl venue, the Hard Rock Hotel's The Joint. Inflamed and inspired after a killer Maiden show at the Greek Theatre in Hollywood, we were definitely not going to miss out on the opportunity to catch the band again a few days later in the City of Sin. Some people follow the Grateful Dead, we were gonna follow Iron Maiden!
The trip was also a reunion of a sort, involving only the original posse who took a trip out to Phoenix a mere 8 months previous to catch Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Slayer, and Pantera play one helluva New Year's Eve show (photos from that excursion coming some day to Melz Homepage!).
It was a very hot drive up to Vegas, but of course we
had to stop at Buffalo Bill's at Stateline to ride the Desperado roller
coaster -- what a rollercoaster! Did I mention I luvved a good rollercoaster?
The Moshking decorated the Penismobile for the festive occasion: "Up
the Irons" reads his back window.
Proudly we went to the Hard Rock hotel immediately upon
coming into town. We had to pose by the Marquee to commemorate the event.
This picture is ironic, considering that Iron Maiden actually cancelled
the show glowing in this marquee. Apparently, when Bruce Dickinson accidentally
dropped Dave Murray at the Hollywood Greek Theatre show, they needed
to cancel a few shows due to a finger injury. We didn't realize that
at the time we took this picture.
Once we did realize that we weren't going to the show, we decided to stay in our hotel rooms at the Circus Circus and drown our sorrows. Here, you can tell, sorrows have been properly drowned. Pictured left to right: Tara Widner, Denis "The Moshking" Recendez, Chris Silva, and Doug Kasper. I'm taking the picture.
Once the sorrows had been drowned, we went wandering the
strip looking for grub, dressed in our concert-going clothes. We ended
up at a nice steak restaurant, where we were refused service. I guess
they didn't want a gaggle of drunken metalheads scaring off their patrons.
We instead ended up at Treasure Island's buffet.
We made the most of our Vegas trip despite not catching
the show. Here's Chris, Penis and I wandering Las Vegas Blvd.
In the evening, we hung out at Pink E's and played cheap
The trip gave me the opportunity to visit with my little
sister Francesca, who is currently residing in that desert City of Sin.
Before heading back to LA, we took some time to play at New York, New York. We were hoping to ride Manhattan Express rollercoaster, but long lines drove us instead to the arcade. Here's Penis and I by the "Smack-a-Mayor" game. Disclaimer: no one was hurt in the making of this photo.

Five Ballon d'Or Nominees who could challenge Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo
Posted by Featured Articles | Published on 26/10/2016
In recent years, the prestigious French award of the world's best player has been dominated by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi has claimed five of the awards (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015) whilst Cristiano is currently on three (2008, 2013, 2014). The likelihood is that this year's trophy will be awarded to one of these men once again, but could we see a surprise winner?
Here are five dark horses from the 30-man shortlist who could win the Ballon d'Or 2016:
Diego Godin
Arguably the most underrated defender in the world, Godin has been consistently world-class for his La Liga team for several years, being the core asset in an Atletico Madrid defence that has one of the most impressive records in Europe. Godin delivers on both ends of the pitch, scoring in vital games and being the match-winner several times. He is a leader on the field and has immense concentration. The ball-playing centre back can dribble past a man and join in counter-attacks, whilst also tracking back and winning the majority of his aerial duels. Defenders are generally ignored in the Ballon d'Or selection process, and Diego Godin has gone under the radar long enough – it is time he collects some recognition.
La Liga Title 2012-13, Copa del Rey 2012-13, UEFA Europa League 2011-12, UEFA Champions League Runner-up 2013-14, 2015-16, UEFA Team of the Year 2014, Copa America: 2011,
Key Statistics (based on the current season and international tournaments this year):
1.5 tackles per game
2.6 interceptions per game
4.6 clearances per game
0.4 dribbles per game
0.3 blocks per game
Luis Suarez
A member of the greatest attacking trio to ever grace a football pitch, Luis Suarez has taken La Liga by storm in his first two seasons. His career has progressed immensely in the last few years, which has led to him becoming one of the most complete strikers in Europe. Suarez was bought by Barcelona for £65m in 2014, scoring 84 goals in his first two seasons in Catalonia. He achieved La Liga top scorer last season, netting 40 times – 5 more than Cristiano Ronaldo and 14 more than Lionel Messi. His scoring record suggests he is capable of obtaining a Ballon d'Or, but there is more to his game than goals. His intelligence on the field and communication with other players is outstanding, and this is proven by his ability to create partnerships with other players – Sturridge and Sterling at Liverpool; Messi and Neymar at Barcelona. Luis is a serious player and contender for this year's Ballon d'Or.
La Liga 2014-15, 2015-16, Copa Del Rey 2014-15, 2015-16, UEFA Champions League 2014-15, Copa America 2011, Premier League Player of the Season 2013-14, La Liga World Player of the Year 2015-16, Premier League Golden Boot 2013-14
Key Statistics (based on the current season and international tournaments this year):

Antoine Griezmann
Atletico Madrid seem to always have a world class striker in their squad; Forlan, Torres, Aguero, Costa, Mandzukic – and now Antoine Griezmann. The French international has hit the ground running since joining European giants Atletico Madrid in 2014 as a replacement for Diego Costa, scoring 50 goals in 81 appearances. This is even more impressive as he played as a left-winger for the majority of these games, but has since adapted to the centre forward role too. This summer Griezmann was the top scorer and player of the tournament (ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo) at Euro 2016, Antoine Griezmann scored 6 goals at the finals – only fellow countryman Michel Platini has ever scored more in one of the tournaments. Griezmann has put up a real fight to win this year's Ballon d'Or.

Key Statistics (based on the current season and international tournaments this year):
13 goals in 22 games
5 assists
3.2 shots per game
2.1 key passes per game
1.1 dribbles per game
Dimitri Payet
Perhaps the most unlikely of the five contenders, you may read this and think "Payet? Next joke." However, just because he does not play for a European giant and hasn't been around for long does not mean he is not good enough – in fact West Ham's reliability on him demonstrates his class, and he carried France through the Euro 2016 group stages almost single-handedly. During the group stages, Payet was statistically the best player in Europe. Payet scored three goals for France at the Euros from the left-wing, and topped UEFA's player barometer as the best player at the tournament ahead of Gareth Bale, Antoine Griezmann and Cristiano Ronaldo. He outperformed players such as £89million Paul Pogba and £58 million Anthony Martial, proving he can compete with some of the most expensive players in the world. Although it is clear that Dimitri Payet has very little chance of winning the Ballon d'Or, you can see how he can compete with the other players on this list, having helped himself to 15 goals and 20 assists in 2016 (all as a midfielder).

7 goals in 20 appearances
6 assists
4 Man of the Match awards
3.1 shots per game

Gareth Bale
One of the greatest athletes currently playing the game, Gareth Bale surpassed Premier League standards and moved to the Madrid capital in 2013 for a world-record fee of £85.3 million (£5.3m more than Cristiano Ronaldo). Bale has scored 50 goals in 89 appearances from the wing (and sometimes central). Obviously, Bale is going to be compared to Ronaldo, due to playing for the same club, costing a similar fee, and playing similar positions – and rightly so. The Welshman has a superior shot conversion rate at 23.6 per cent, compared to Ronaldo's 15.4 per cent. At the European Championships 2016, Bale netted three times from 21 shots at 18.5 per cent, while Ronaldo converted just two of his 36 for a measly 5.6 per cent. Bale's assist rate averages one per 265 minutes, while his Portuguese equivalent goes at one every 333 minutes. Bale also beats Ronaldo statistically on dribbling and defensive qualities, as well as conversion rates and assists. Can Bale prove he is better than Cristiano by beating him to the Ballon d'Or 2016?

It is official. The Department of Energy's latest report, Energy Savings Potential of Solid-State Lighting in General Illumination Applications 2010 to 2030, codifies the savings potential of solid-state lighting over the next 20 years. With massive amounts information and graphs enough to satisfy the most data-hungry lighting insider, the report is further validation of the direction the LED industry is taking. The rigor and deep analysis should be applauded.
The industry has known that solid-state lighting – or LEDs to the rest of us – will have a profound impact on the lighting market. Vendors have been readying products for all applications, striving to improve raw LED output, maximizing, and matching the fixture design to the application. And the work is set to pay off as LEDs move into mainstream lighting; ready to bring a surge of energy savings along with them.
What is remarkable, and what the report does an excellent job of showing, is the mind-boggling impact that LEDs will have on the country's lighting-related energy use (see chart on p. 34, Figure 7-4. National Energy Consumption for Lighting through 2030 for Each Scenario). Even this incredible impact may be conservative given two other characteristics of LED lighting, besides raw efficiency, that will amp the savings up even further:
- The first is the directionality of LEDs. Traditional lighting sources shoot light everywhere and it is the job of reflectors and optics to attempt to rein the light in. LEDs are very directional and well-designed fixtures can put the light exactly where you need. We have found that users can see equivalent light from an LED fixture (measured in foot-candles) for one half to one quarter of the lumens from a traditional fixture. The report mentions the possibility of savings from directionality, but takes a wait-and-see approach before baking it into the savings numbers. Our work suggests that directionality can account for a 10% to 25% additional savings.
- The second is the controllability of LEDs. LEDs are a semi-conductor technology that is amenable to being controlled digitally by computer technology. And this control can be implemented with no loss in performance measured in either light level or lifetime. This is in direct contrast to traditional lighting technologies that are infamously hard and expensive to control. Our work, as well as the work of others, shows that using light only when you need it can reduce energy use by another 25% to 50%.
The DOE's report does a great job of laying out the impact that LED will have on the world. But, I believe there is another 50% more savings still available for the nation.

TravelLocal was founded to create tailor-made holidays with local experts and now features more than 40 destinations worldwide. The latest addition to its portfolio is Japan and now independent travellers will have access to on-the-ground expertise which ensures a fairer deal for local suppliers and opens up little-known places to clients, via local knowledge.
TravelLocal has introduced seven sample itineraries to Japan, each of which can be tailored in any way to suit individual interests and budgets and can be as active or relaxed as desired. Durations are between eight and 14 days and travellers can choose a tour which emphasises Japanese culture, history, food and drink, wildlife or scenery. Some itineraries include Japan's well known sights and vibrant cities but travellers can also use TravelLocal's local knowledge to discover Japan's hidden gems, taking in the perfectly preserved Edo-period post towns of the Kiso Valley, beautiful sub-tropical island hideaways off the Japanese coast, ancient capitals and pilgrimage routes of bygone eras, and stay at quaint, traditional ryokans far from the tourist trail.
As an example, an eight-day Classic Japan trip, with time in Tokyo, Kamakura, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Nara, costs from £1,620 per person based on two sharing. The price includes bed and breakfast accommodation and a Japan Rail Pass (includes bullet trains). External flights are not included.

Please explain to us then, oh wise and learned master of all things legal, for what public use did they take your pot?
Please explain to us then, oh wise and learned master of all things legal, for what public use did they take your pot?
You will find that since pot is an illegal substance in most states that the seizure of an illegal good does not require compensation by the government. You couldn't legally have it in the first place, so the government exercises its police power to take it, not its right of eminent domain. As a result, the government doesn't have to compensate you for taking it. As stated by a federal appeals court:
When property has been seized pursuant to the criminal laws or subjected to in rem forfeiture proceedings, such deprivations are not takings for which the owner is entitled to compensation.
Acadia Tech., Inc. v. United States, 458 F.3d 1327, 1331 (Fed. Cir. 2006). So, no, you don't know takings law as well as you think you do.
States do not have the freedom or liberty to deny or disparage our privileges and immunities without just Cause.
Article 1, Section 1
All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.
There you go again. Posting things out of context and without any supporting case law or statutory reasoning for it.

I'm trying to capture some screenshots for my game. They need to be saved as jpgs to a folder, latency is not an issue, I don't care if it happens over 10 seconds. My number one priority is to keep the game at a steady framerate.
Some things I've tried:
I've tried ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot but that is super slow and the game hangs for a split second.
I've tried the old method of texture2d.ReadPixels() and EncodeToJPG() but that was unbelievably slow.
I also found a relatively new feature: https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rendering.AsyncGPUReadback.html
I found a repo using this feature to capture screenshots asynchronously: https://github.com/keijiro/AsyncCaptureTest
This requires the use of OnRenderImage(), but I'm using LWRP and OnRenderImage() isn't supported in scriptable render pipeline.
Pulling my hair out
Some metrics from my testing:
- ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot is ~200ms.
- ReadPixels() is 40-70ms.
- Texture.Apply() is ~5ms.
- EncodeToJPG() is 35-50ms.
- File.WriteAllBytes() is <1ms.

Suter Honda's presence on the Moto3 grid will increase from the Le Mans Grand Prix when they replace Oral as the manufacturer for the Ambrogio Next Racing Team.
The team's riders Guilian Pedone (Swiss) and Simone Grotzkyj (Italian) have only scored one point between them so far this season, when Pedone finished 15th in Jerez.
The change was initially reported on May 7th on Italian motorsport website gpone.com but was quickly denied by Oral Engineering in a letter sent to and published by the site.
This was in turn contested by Grotzkyj who posted on his Twitter account, @Simone_Grotzkyj: "I contest the letter of Oral to the biggest websites. From France we will use the Suter chassis with Honda engine."
Ambrogio Next Racing have now put out a press release confirming their riders statement to be accurate, stating simply "From the next Grand Prix of France (May 18th - 20th, 2012) Ambrogio Next Racing will run a Suter-Honda Moto3 machine".
Oral will not be completely absent from the Moto3 grid as the Italian Manufacturer also supply and develop engines for the Mahindra team, whose riders Marcel Schrotter and Danny Webb are yet to score a World Championship point between them so far this season.

I'm sure he must have felt deep, deep anguish and physical pain after his accident, but he had an enormous inner personal strength which meant he didn't show his suffering a lot. And he was clearly enormously supported by his family and his wife, who must have been equally brave. It took three hours just to get Chris washed up and ready to be put in the chair. I was under the impression that she was getting better. When we were growing up, Chris and I would play against each other in hockey. You could just feel the energy from the crowd, it was so emotionally powerful. He was already this famous actor who had done "Superman", and we didn't even have agents.

When Chris was injured there was no hope for a cure or the possibility that he would ever walk again. He had a passion to find a cure and an ability to move mountains, to create and inspire opportunities for the brilliant medical minds to find a cure for those dealing with spinal injuries and champion the rights for stem cell research. He told me "so many of us 'able bodied people' are paralyzed in our own lives." He was not. I'll always remember how excited Chris was after they let him take his [breathing] tube out. I explained that, with exercise and treatment, we can ward off the accelerated aging process that happens in these cases.
When our twins were born, James and I named one of our sons after Chris who was not only his godfather, but his role model for inspiration and courage. We put him on a bike and set up treatment so that electrodes on the skin could activate his nerve endings, allowing his muscles to contract. We soon became friends and worked together for his cause.
To Jim – I first met Christopher Reeve on the set of the first Superman movie being filmed in London. We met again in 1994, just a few scant months before his accident.
I was on vacation and had stopped en route to Egypt. It was at a show in Atlanta [called Dixie Trek], and again, his demeanor was like that of George, so gracious and so kind.
His focus on stem cell research, on getting himself better as an example for other people, was very inspirational.
I think we have lost a very brave and courageous and dedicated individual.Margot Kidder No one better demonstrated courage, strength, and dedication to others than Chris accomplished in these past hard years.The only fitting memorial is to be inspired in our own efforts by this remarkable hero. In a fantasy world, Superman is the best incarnation of our finest qualities.He was earnest and dedicated to making Superman so that he would not disappoint children or adults who had grown up with the Superman comics.Christopher really wanted to personify and become the character of Superman and I think he did that wonderfully.Gene Hackman Some rare human beings transcend our greatest dreams of wanting to be strong and bring freedom, good, and justice to the world. In the real world, Christopher Reeve is a true super man who will forever inspire us to strive to attain those qualities.
