Your QB Rankings – March 2017
All month we are running quarterback polls on Twitter, pitting two different quarterbacks against each other. We run one poll every day and see how you, the readers, rank them. Hence, "Your QB Rankings" in the title. We're clever that way.
Our Twitter polls explicitly direct voters to pick the quarterback they would prefer for redraft leagues in 2017, assuming the price is equal for both. Practically, this would mean that both players are available when you're on the clock, and we are asking which one you would draft if these were your only two options at that pick.
While the results are shown below in typical ranking format, we want to admit the limitations in this poll-based approach. The results are, in some part, impacted by our choice of quarterbacks and our choice of the order in which we present them. These are not meant to be a definitive presentation of how the public ranks quarterbacks; this is for information and entertainment only.
As for process, we selected quarterbacks in the order they are being drafted in MFL10 bestball drafts right now.
QB1 – Aaron Rodgers vs. Andrew Luck
We kicked off a month of quarterback polls with a lopsided runaway. It appears there is no question in most minds. Aaron Rodgers is the clear QB1 for 2017 drafts, and this poll — along with the next two below — suggests there is not much disagreement.
QB2 – Andrew Luck vs. Tom Brady
If Aaron Rodgers is a tier unto himself at QB1 this year, we see a near opposite result in these next two polls. Andrew Luck, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees finish very close in polls, suggesting that most drafters see them as a three-man tier after the Aaron Rodgers tier.
QB3 – Andrew Luck vs. Drew Brees
QB4 – Andrew Luck vs. Russell Wilson
We called the group above a three-man tier because of this result. It appears that Russell Wilson is a tier down from the Luck/Brady/Brees cluster, with three-quarters of drafters preferring Luck to Wilson.
QB5 – Russell Wilson vs. Matt Ryan
This is incredible. Matt Ryan is in the mix for a QB5 ranking after going at QB17 in last year's early drafts. What a difference a year can make! Russell Wilson edges out Ryan, but it was close.
QB6 – Matt Ryan vs. Cam Newton
And there we have it, recency bias is a powerful thing. Matt Ryan, QB17 in 2016 drafts, beats out Cam Newton, QB1 in those same drafts.
QB7 – Derek Carr vs. Cam Newton
Newton's fall continues, with a slight majority of voters preferring Derek Carr to the Panthers' star.
QB8 – Cam Newton vs. Marcus Mariota
Now we start to shift into a new tier, seeing Cam Newton take a 57% vote victory over Marcus Mariota, another young star. People like Marcus, but they aren't ready to take him over the more proven commodity in Cam.
QB9 – Marcus Mariota vs. Dak Prescott
This one surprised me. I like Mariota quite a bit, but I was unprepared for him to crush Dak Prescott in such dominant fashion. Prescott has a ton of supporters, Anthony Amico foremost among them, but this vote did not show that. Mariota is the consensus vote at QB9.
QB10 – Dak Prescott vs. Ben Roethlisberger
QB11 – Dak Prescott vs. Jameis Winston
QB12 – Dak Prescott vs. Kirk Cousins
QB13 – Dak Prescott vs. Matthew Stafford
The Dak Prescott free-fall finally comes to an end, with the second-year Cowboys starter defeating Matthew Stafford. You could make a case for any one of Prescott, Stafford, Cousins, Mariota, Winston, or Roethlisberger. The latter four previously defeated Prescott. After around QB5/QB6, there will be a glut of appealing quarterbacks to choose from, which will make ADP a fascinating case study this year.
QB14 – Matthew Stafford vs. Philip Rivers
QB15 – Philip Rivers vs. Eli Manning
Rivers takes out his 2004 NFL Draft revenge on Eli by destroying him in this matchup. Joshua Lake tabbed Rivers as his 2017 draft value, so the results of this poll are in line with his thinking. Being able to snag a reliable signal caller such as Rivers to be your QB2 could very well wind up being a league-winning move.
QB16 – Eli Manning vs. Andy Dalton
QB17 – Andy Dalton vs. Tyrod Taylor
It only took Tyrod one poll to advance this year, and just like last year, he would be a tremendous value as a low-end QB2. Thanks to his rushing prowess, Tyrod has been a top-8 fantasy QB on a points per game basis the last two seasons. That's a trend that should continue.
QB18 – Andy Dalton vs. Carson Wentz
QB19 – Carson Wentz vs. Blake Bortles
The last two seasons has seen Bortles finish as a top-10 fantasy quarterback. Even though Wentz might be better than you think, according to Joe Paeno, the results of this poll feels more like Blake Bortles hate than Carson Wentz love.
QB20 – Blake Bortles vs. Ryan Tannehill
A tie? There are no ties in football.
QB21 – Blake Bortles vs. Carson Palmer
Palmer is on a downward trend and it should be no surprise he lost to Bortles. Since joining the Cardinals, Palmer has finished as the fantasy QB17, QB31 (played in only six games), QB5, QB19. Don't draft Palmer based on name value alone.
QB22 – Carson Palmer vs. Joe Flacco
We had one more poll question following Palmer's defeat of Flacco, pitting the Ravens signal caller vs. the recently retired Tony Romo. Flacco wound up narrowly winning that poll (51%-49%), as voters were concerned about Romo's recent injury history.

Information Commissioner slams BC Ferries Freedom of Info policies
Denham's ruling stems from a complaint by the B.C. Freedom of Information and Privacy Association. The association argued BC Ferries policy of posting FOI records online at the same time they are released the original requester violates the Freedom of Information Act, in particular a section which requires public bodies to "assist" applicants.
A number of media outlets, including this one, also criticized BC Ferries' immediate-posting policy, saying it discourages reporters from filing FOI requests because it denies media outlets their "scoop" on a story.
Denhmam ruling found there's nothing about BC Ferries FOI policies that violates the Freedom of Information Act. But while the policy isn't illegal, Denham found, it does undermine transparency by discouraging FOI requests, in particular from the media:
"I find that the simultaneous disclosure practice of BC Ferries frustrates the purposes of [the Act]. This is because it may deter individuals, particularly journalists, from making access requests. Public bodies become less, not more, accountable when journalists and others are deterred from making access requests."
Denham recommended that BC Ferries — and any other public body thinking of going the same route — provide at least a 24-hour delay between giving records to the requester and posting them online.
When I saw the reference to the 24-hour delay in Denham's news release, I was a bit worried. A 24-hour window doesn't give a reporter much time to get his/her story out first (especially if the records are sent late in the day, as BC Ferries often does). And it provides an opportunity for mischief if, say, a public body puts the records in the mail, which may take two or three days to arrive. But, in reading Denham's ruling, it's clear the 24-hour window is only a minimum, and she encourages public bodies to give journalists a wider window of time if they ask for it:
"The public interest is best served by integrating a period of delay between the time the applicant receives the response to her or his access request and the posting of that response in a disclosure log. I am recommending a minimum 24-hour delay in all cases and a further delay upon request by the applicant." (emphasis Denham's)
Not surprisingly, FIPA BC is upset that Denham didn't go further and rule that BC Ferries' policy actually violates the Act and must be changed.
But I was pleasantly surprised by Denham's ruling.
When The Vancouver Sun first wrote about BC Ferries FOI policies last fall, Denham actually cheered on the ferry corporation, calling its posting policy a "positive step". In contrast, her ruling today makes clear that what BC Ferries is doing actually undermines transparency and should be changed. Indeed, the contrast couldn't be starker between BC Ferries CEO David Hahn's "no sympathy for reporters" and Denham's recognition of the important role the media plays in keeping government accountable:
"While I appreciate that society is better off when more people, more expertise and more perspectives are engaged in civil discourse, I maintain that it is also in the public interest to protect the ability of mainstream media to identify issues and instigate dialogue in the first place. Clearly, society benefits when more people have access to more information. That is why the unique and important role of the media to gather and disseminate information should be affirmed and protected."
Denham also clearly found that the fact media organizations are for-profit organizations doesn't change the fact that their work is often in the public interest:
"In my view, the mere fact that media are engaged in commercial activities does not detract from the importance of the role they play. … Simultaneous disclosure has the effect of sharing the fruits of the journalist's labour with the public at large. This deprives the media of the revenue upon which they depend for survival; essentially, it wastes the often considerable fees they must pay to obtain highly relevant information and in some instances pre-empts important investigative reporting by tipping off the subjects of such investigations through which they are being held accountable. This impairs the information-gathering function of the media."
Will Denham's ruling be enough to convince BC Ferries to change its policies? We'll have to see.
I'm on vacation today so it's another reporter's job to track down BC Ferries for its reaction to Denham's ruling. But given, Hahn's defiance on FOI issues in the past, I would guess that, absent a clear order to change its ways, BC Ferries will probably stick to its guns.
But Denham's ruling likely will hold sway with other public bodies — like the B.C. government — that have been mulling over going a similar route to BC Ferries.
Will Premier Christy Clark, who has made open government a key theme of her new government, be willing to implement an FOI-posting policy that the Information Commissioner has found frustrates transparency?
And, in the end, that's the bigger issue. One public body posting FOI records simultaneously online is an annoyance. All of them doing it would be a disaster.
A small aside: There had been some mystery about the contents of the City of Vancouver's submission to Denham's investigation. Denham's ruling makes clear that the city, like BC Ferries, was arguing in favour of posting FOI records online immediately. We've FOI'd the city's submission and will post it here when it arrives. But the submission suggests the city, like the province, was considering following BC Ferries' lead and posting FOI records online.

This motor turns the small blades that blend your ingredients into a delicious smoothie when you turn it on. The high speed spinning motion combined with the chopping ability of the blades allows for fast processing of any foods placed in the blender. This same method is also used on a much larger scale for rotor mixers in a variety of industrial applications.
When a large rotor mixer is used for industrial purposes like chemical mixing or combining food ingredients, a strong electric motor is necessary to create enough power to mix substances of varying densities at high speeds. The rotor is fitted into the bottom of a large stainless steel drum, and it spins at speeds controlled by an exterior control panel.
Sometimes blades or flat mixing arms are the rotating instrument, but many industrial rotor mixers are fitted with what is known as a rotor-stator head. This is a long narrow piece attached to the motor that reaches almost to the top of the container or tank. The rotor-stator has slotted openings that draw materials in and then hurl them outward again, creating a strong centrifugal force. This helps to break materials down to the smallest possible particle size.
Rotor mixers are used in industries like adhesives, chemical processing, food technology and production, pharmaceuticals, ceramics and more. Some rotor mixers are built to operate with different types of attachments, so when the tank is empty a head can easily be detached from the motor and replaced with a more appropriate implement.
This can be very useful in industrial settings where the rotor mixer is needed for multiple types of mixing jobs. For instance, a ribbon blender could be used in place of a rotor-stator to mix powders, pet foods and seasonings. These are dry substances that require the spiral blades of a ribbon blender to move through the circumference of the entire container rather than create the centrifugal force generated by a rotor-stator and most often used in liquid mixtures.

A promising start that slowly degressed into a Victorian doldrum.
The Dark Days Pact
by Alison Goodman
I started reading this book with a vague awareness of everything that happened beforehand. And considering that The Dark Days Club proved to be a laborious read in itself, I found myself temporarily relieved by how easy it was to acclimate myself back into this world. It didn't take long before the events of what had happened started flooding back. So I was pretty optimistic that I will truly have a better time with The Dark Days Pact.
Unfortunately, it just wasn't in the cards.
The Dark Days Pact picks up where the first book left off. Lady Helen Wrexhall is now a card-carrying member of the demon hunters that belong in The Dark Days Club. Having been cast aside by her only living family, she now resides with the Hammond siblings. She's fully accepted her role as a Reclaimer under the tutelage of Lord Carlseton who, by the way, did his very best impression of a surly jerk. *snorts*. This guy is a piece of work and if one doesn't know his background, one could easily lump him with the rest of the jackasses of the 18th century (along with Mr. Darcy. Probably.). It took a bit of time for me to warm up to his character in the first book. Back then, I could appreciate his enigmatic, mysterious character. He was unbearable in this installment, however. But you'll have to forgive him. He's under a lot of pressure. Besides the fact that Lord Carlseton was so obviously fighting off an exhausting attraction towards Helen (hence, the jerky attitude), he's also suffering from a malady that comes from years of reaping demon souls.
Reclaimers aren't supposed to be in a relationship with other Reclaimers so sparks flew whenever Lady Helen and Lord Carlseton were within each other's vicinity. Sadly, the chemistry more often off the mark. In some ways, their relationship reminded me of Will and Tessa's from The Infernal Devices from when they were just starting out. But alas, while Will and Tessa's push and pull romance was convincing, Helen and Carlseton's couldn't begin to compare. Milquetoast is the word that comes to mind.
The love triangle in this book comes into more focus towards the ending – which, admittedly, added to the annoyance that I was already feeling throughout. Thankfully, Helen's feelings were very clear whom she favors – which relieved the irritation some. Duke Selburn wouldn't take no for an answer under the guise of keeping the word he gave to Helen's brother to protect her. And even though he bore witness to Helen's kickassery at one point, he still insisted that a fine woman such as her should be protected by a man like him. *eye roll*
We finally get to know a bit more about Lord Carleston's history; the event that led him to believe that his wife perished through the hands of the Deceivers and ultimately, to his incarceration. Driven by a sense of duty to The Dark Days Club, his unrelenting need to rid the word of demons accelerated his descent to Cray Town (madness is a direct side effect to consuming demon souls). The only thing that could help him now was what was in the book.
Speaking of, the bulk of the plot deals with a book that Benchley has created. It contained information about Helen's parents, history of Deceivers and Reclaimers; the cure for whatever's ailing Lord Carlseton, and how to open the gate to Hellmouth, so to speak. So you can say this book is very much in high demand. The higher ups in the club suspected Lord Carleston of knowing more than he's led them to believe. That he had a hand in creating the book.
I don't know how you guys do it. But the Victorian period is not my favourite. I can't sit back and not scream at the amount of mansplaining and hapless women whose daily existence is governed by the dictates of what society deemed as proper. I can't do it. I can't do it without wanting to face punch the nearest cravat-wearing douche within my sights. But if this is your type of thing, I'm not judging. I just get so mad!
What the freaking heck was that? Grrrrr.

The St Louis Cardinals welcomed manager Tony La Russa back to the dugout and extended the drought of Philadelphia's Cliff Lee with a 3-1 victory over the Phillies on Monday.
La Russa's return from an absence of six games because of a virus ended the Cardinals (23-19) three-game losing streak.
St Louis starter Jake Westbrook pitched seven innings and allowed just one run to out-pitch Lee, who has not won a start since April 14 — a stretch of six games.
"It was a great performance by [Westbrook]," Cardinals teammate Nick Punto told reporters after aiding his pitcher with an RBI in the fourth inning. "When you're facing a guy like [Lee] you're just in there battling. It was nice to get a couple hits."
Ryan Theriot also hit a RBI single for the Cardinals in the fourth inning to give the home side a 2-1 lead, while Jon Jay added an RBI single in the seventh to end Lee's game.
Lee fell to just 2-4 on the season after walking six batters and allowing all three runs in 6-1/3 innings.
St Louis, without injured third baseman David Freese, started first baseman Albert Pujols at third base for the first time since 2002.
"The whole thing centered on Albert," La Russa said. "Albert volunteered to play third. I wouldn't have really come forward unless we had a lot more reasons to do it."
Pujols enjoyed a comfortable night at third, but it did not help him turn things around at the plate as he finished 0 for 4. The 31-year-old, a career .329 hitter, is averaging just .259 this season.
In New York, Florida pitcher Burke Badenhop got just his second career hit to drive in the winning run with two outs in the 11th inning, as Florida edged New York.
Badenhop (1-0) came to bat after escaping a two-on, two-out jam when he was pitching in the bottom of the 10th. With runners on first and second, Badenhop lined a single up the middle off Ryota Igarashi (2-1) for his first hit since 2008 and his second career RBI.
Leo Nunez pitched the bottom half of the 11th for his 15th save, despite allowing a two-out triple to pitcher Jonathon Niese — pinch-hitting because the Mets were out of position players.
Mike Stanton hit a tying homer in the seventh and Omar Infate had three hits for Florida.
In Denver, Colorado, Carlos Gonzalez capped a five-run sixth-inning with a three-run homer to power Colorado over San Francisco.
Seth Smith also homered off the uncharacteristically wild Giants starter Tim Lincecum (3-4), who set up the Rockies' big inning with a throwing error on a potential double-play that led to four unearned runs.
Lincecum allowed seven runs and walked six in 5-2/3 innings.
The Rockies turned four double plays.
Clay Mortensen (1-0) pitched six solid innings for his first win in a Rockies uniform and Huston Street closed out the ninth inning for his 13th save in 14 tries.
In Cincinnati, Ohio, Jonny Gomes hit his first homer in nearly a month, completing Cincinnati's seven-run rally that defeated Chicago.
The big inning ended the night for Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano (4-2), who had won his previous 10 starts on the road, matching the second-longest such streak in Cubs history. He held the Reds scoreless for six innings, then fell apart.
The Reds sent 12 batters to the plate, matching their biggest inning this season. Scott Rolen's fly was misfielded and turned into a double that tied the game 4-4. Marcos Mateo let in a run with a wild pitch that nearly hit Gomes, who then hit a two-run shot.

Zombie worms found in Britain's North Sea
So-called zombie worms that feed on bones of dead whales have reportedly been found in England's North Sea.
Scientists say the worms belong to a new class of marine organism that scavenges whale carcasses, The Independent reported Wednesday.
"We were astounded to discover a species completely new to science in an environment that is so well known," Adrian Glover, a marine biologist at the Natural History Museum in London, told the newspaper.
Glover and Thomas Dahlgren of Goteborg University in Sweden reported finding the new worm on the bones of a dead, stranded minke whale.
The scientists named the worm Osedax mucofloris, which means bone-eating snot flower.
"We sometimes called them snot worms because, when they retreat into their tubes, they leave mucus behind which is probably a defensive mechanism," Glover told the Independent.
Last year, U.S. scientists found similar organisms feeding on the bones of dead whales buried at depths of 8,000 feet. They nicknamed the species "zombie worms."
But the North Sea species is genetically distinct from the species discovered off the coast of California, said a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.

We all know that moving house is one of the most difficult processes anyone can go through, but that can be made much easier if you are ready to negotiate and sometimes compromise. Most people are ready to give way a little, which is the most realistic approach.
Everyone wants their sale and purchase to go ahead without any hitches, of course, but being realistic from the start will mean the inevitable hiccups don't derail you. We usually tell people that a transaction will take six to eight weeks, which is a useful guideline – every case is different, of course.
Because a house move always costs more than you imagine – removals, changing utility suppliers, unexpected insurance or liabilities – it's important to know from the start how much your legal fees and expenses are going to be, and I make sure that we give people that information up front.
BUSINESS LAW: Support through difficult times
It's also important to make sure that people really understand what's happening from start to finish – I always explain clearly at each stage because I understand how stressful it can be if you're kept in the dark about something so important.
Helping people to achieve such a major milestone successfully is a real source of satisfaction – I work with all sorts, from first-time buyers and older people who are downsizing, to investors who have a very commercial approach and companies who are buying to let.
Patience and persistence are important parts of my work, but being flexible and inventive when faced with problems is also vital – I want to be sure I can give people what they need and even go beyond what they expect.

Watch Hong Kong and ask: Will we be China's partner or servant?
In its entire post-First Fleet history, Australia has not had to contend with the larger intercontinental political issues in isolation from its cultural and philosophical alliances. We've always had a larger, stronger partner. In the future we may have our own unique dilemmas as we deal with our response alone.
Aboriginal Australia had no occasion to deal with the encroaching global grab for territory until 1788 when Australia became part of the global naval power of the day, England. With England, Australia remained until it morphed seamlessly during World War II into a close collaboration with the United States.
This was not sycophancy; it was necessity as we would naturally ally ourselves with a stronger partner of similar democratic and liberal views against militaristic, autocratic aggression.
But empires collapse as the Roman Empire did. Large empires are not able to maintain large and disparate borders.
As with the collapse of the Roman Empire, the cost of defending your borders creates a vacuum in another point of strategic interest. This is filled by an emerging power, a new empire. Those surrounding the empire have to make a judgment on how their future will fare, a sober assessment of their emerging circumstances.
China has taken the South China Sea without firing a shot. Now the expansion of Chinese control is forcing full legislative absorption of Hong Kong. A million people in Hong Kong may take to the streets but unless the course of events takes a dramatic change from the path determined by Beijing it will merely be a funeral march for a disappearing democratic philosophical foothold on a Chinese continent.
Questions have to be asked as to how countries adjacent to what will be the largest economy and largest population, supported by the largest and most sophisticated military, will exist apart from being supplicant states living next to a superpower with autocratic rule. What will be the limit of sovereignty on nations in our region?
Will the press be able to say what it wishes? Freedom of the press will mean little when it's corralled by the edicts of a new superpower. Will other nations be able to invite to their country whom they wish and publicly vent issues as they wish? Will they act as determined by the aspirations of their own people or will it be within the confines of what will be accepted by the master of their new regional order.
Irish orator and politician John Philpot Curran stated in 1790: "The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance."
This requires a deep faith and a strong honest perception as to what is happening around you. If your faith is not as strong as required then you need other mechanisms to protect your freedoms. Alternatively, you can proscribe some liberties so as not to forfeit all. To varying degrees this is the path of many countries in this new East Asian realm.
The question for Australia is what path lies ahead for us. Will we be the servant or the partner of the largest economy in the world. Will we rely on innate humanity to protect our liberty or will we have to realise that it now has to be more substantial, more formidable. This will be even more pronounced if the US reverts, as it has before, to a new isolationist phase.
What is formidable in the new world order in which we now find ourselves? It means we have to be realists, that we have to believe that we will be fighting our own battles. We have to understand that our children will live with our outcomes.
Being a world leader in virtuous causes may come at a price which we can no longer afford. Our industry must grow. If you do not want wage cuts then the advantage must be in the cheapest power prices in the OECD. Our defence force must be formidable, our nation-building infrastructure must be able to take a major leap foreword through a hoop currently barnacled with caveats to environmental green tape. Our students must compete and win in the global academic test.
We must be able to undertake the same economic acceleration and transformation that our Asian neighbours have undergone because we live in Asia, not Europe, not the Americas. We live in Asia and in Asia we will have access to the greatest global opportunities or be one of the greatest casualties.
As we watch the people on the street in Hong Kong, observe with genuine empathy.
Barnaby Joyce is the member for New England.

Publication and evaporation
A few of the usual suspects gathered at Ye Olde Boozer last Thursday night to celebrate the appearance of Jack Ross's chapbook Papyri: Love poems and fragments from Sappho and elsewhere. Papyri is the latest publication from Soapbox Press, an oufit founded earlier this year by Michael Steven. Michael is often described (by my girlfriend, anyway) as the handsomest man on the Auckland literary scene, and the lovingly designed, limited edition volumes the small press in the cellar of his Western Springs home creaks out are fairly handsome, as well. Papyri is dedicated to Jack's lovely fiance Bronwyn, and its poems are a noticeable departure from the dark fare of most of his earlier books:
Some say the finest sight
on this black earth is men on horses
others foot-soldiers others
fleets of ships I say
it's the one you love
Is it the influence of Bronwyn, or Sappho, or both? You can contact Soapbox Press via Michael's blog.
A darkly comic aspect of the evening was the disappearance of Richard Taylor. Richard had been warned by doctors that if he resumed boozing he would contract soft focus syndrome and that, if he persisted beyond the magical eight pint mark, he might begin to evaporate. As you can see (or not see), the warnings went unheeded. I hope Richard has climbed back on the wagon and recovered his corporeal form. On the other hand, invisibility might help him to slip past that grumpy bouncer at the Panmure Tavern... 'Feel a bit funny...might need another beer eh?'
'Hey, what's happening to my aaaarm?!'
Is this man a pretty boy? (Send answers in red lipstick on a piece of lingerie, please.)

If you've attended a technology conference over the last couple years it's hard to avoid the obvious buzz around cloud computing. Almost every vendor has applied the term to anything and everything imaginable. During this time there has been some debate over the level of adoption outside of the startup scene, specifically within the larger "enterprise class" of companies. We're now at a point where most "new software" created, is created with the Internet as a central tenant. It's how modern software is developed, deployed and consumed. Yes. The cloud has gone mainstream.
New research sponsored by enterprise focused cloud computing firm, Virtustream, sheds new light on the adoption of cloud computing. The report findings indicate that the majority of U.S. businesses are now using some form of cloud computing for IT. The report notes that increasingly most of these businesses use multiple cloud providers leading to potential problems with interoperability and, so called, "Cloud Sprawl".
According to the report's author Paul Burns, president of Neovise, "Enterprise IT organizations – and other organizations with a wide variety of applications – are using multiple types of IaaS clouds at the same time in order to meet their broad needs. Public clouds from the likes of Amazon,
The timing of the report coincides with recent discussions in the OpenStack project about the lack of interoperability and compatibility between the various deployments of the open source platform.
Rackspace and HP, two of the largest providers using OpenStack, have been found to not actually be compatible with the OpenStack project, an irony not lost on many industry observers. In a recent ITworld article, Josh McKenty, CTO of Piston and an OpenStack Foundation board member, noted that "neither of their public clouds could be called OpenStack under current interoperability guidelines," he said. "They're basically not interoperable."
In a blog post responding to the ITworld post, Troy Toman, Vice President, Cloud Infrastructure Products at Rackspace, writes "We are also taking active steps to align Rackspace with the rest of OpenStack around queuing, metrics and orchestration."
Research posted last year by Lydia Leong, Research VP at Gartner, points to some of the challenges facing Cloud providers, specifically within the OpenStack community. "Don't assume that "open source" equates to open standards, broad interoperability and freedom from commercial interests. In reality, OpenStack is dominated by vendor interests, where they want customers to adopt their own offerings, potentially to include proprietary lock-in." said Leong. "If interoperability is a concern, use a third-party cloud API library or cloud management tool that supports multiple cloud APIs, CMPs, or service providers."
With the growing usage of cloud resources within enterprise, fragmentation within the industry is quickly becoming a major concern. The Neovise report attempts to shed some light on the concerns by screening 822 IT leaders and decisions makers. The research found that 54% of organizations are already using public or private clouds, still leaving plenty of room for industry growth. Among the 161 organizations which completed in-depth surveys and that already use IaaS, 74% use more than one type of IaaS cloud among options that include public, on/off-premise private and hybrid clouds. At the same time, 40 to 50% of these organizations using IaaS use more than one of the same types of cloud.
Burns also says; "Enterprise IT organizations are not simply adding a public cloud in addition to their existing infrastructures. In fact, about three fourths of the organizations that use cloud computing are using more than one type of IaaS cloud. While it is helpful to select clouds that most perfectly match the needs of each application, this approach also leads to some new challenges. For example, it can be much harder to track resources and spending, manage and maintain these environments, and maintain sufficient expertise on each cloud."
Some of the other key findings described in the report include:
"We have already entered the multi-cloud world and there is no going back," Burns said. "What remains is further maturity for hybrid clouds -- where organizations not only use multiple clouds, but combine and integrate them to provide enhanced capabilities. Service providers and vendors that support multiple types of clouds have a competitive advantage here."

Title: Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows #2)
Author: Leigh Bardugo
Genre: Young Adult | Fantasy
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
Publication Date: September 20, 2017
Source: Purchased
Format: Physical
When you can't beat the odds, change the game.
Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets―a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world.
Are we sure there isn't going to be a Book 3?
Plot: Crooked Kingdom pulled off an even bigger heist than the events of Six of Crows. The stakes were even higher and we were given even more backstory on our fabulous six-person team. I have to admit, this heist was a bit over my head; both Kaz and Bardugo are too smart for their own good. I love that Bardugo was able to weave such a complex scheme and see at least five steps ahead of her readers. Despite its tome-like size, I found myself breezing through Crooked Kingdom; although it did take some brain power to comprehend Kaz's ultimate heist.
I do have one complaint though - the ending. I thought I had a good handle of all the actions and I loved how Bardugo enforced the theory of "all actions have a reaction," but one story line just didn't add up. Up until the final five chapters, everything in Crooked Kingdom was tight; the character development was strategic and all of the actions had a reason, until the end. I know this is a conclusion, but I'm not quite buying it.
Characters: Crooked Kingdom answered almost all the questions I had about our crew. Each character was given adequate backstory and I especially loved learning about Wylan and his family dynamic. Of course we all had our "ships" from Six of Crows, and I was surprised by how little attention Bardugo gave the romances, although it makes sense that something as minor as relationships wouldn't be on the forefront of their mind.
I have to say, I love this crew so much more than I did in Six of Crows. Their banter had me snorting and just smiling cheesily. I loved how they managed to crack jokes and not take themselves too seriously even in the face of danger.
Worldbuilding: The world was especially fun because of all of the Easter eggs from Shadow and Bone. There were definitely more references to the Grisha series and I loved seeing those two worlds come together. I think we all know that Bardugo can easily create a world from thin air and her talent continued to shine in Crooked Kingdom.
Short N Sweet: Crooked Kingdom is nothing short of a roller coaster; however, I question Bardugo's motives for the final chapters.

Photographing drawings takes not only precision but also having an approach in mind. Drawings are often lacking in colour and contrast so the photo could easily end up being too grey or 'flat'. In a well-lit drawing, the subtle shades of the white paper and the structure of the fibres come to life. The images are edited and given standard reference colours to allow for their optimal publication.
What I personally like about drawings is the intimate atmosphere they convey. The intuitive nature of the medium—often the first concrete execution of an idea in modest form—contributes to a feeling of being close to the maker.
This selection of drawings was photographed for the catalogue Goltzius to Van Gogh:, Drawings and Paintings from the P & N de Boer Foundation an exhibition in Paris displayed at Fondation Custodia in 2014. The drawings below were made by the following artists, respectively: Jacob Jordaens, Vincent van Gogh, David Vinckboons, Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne, Roelant Saverij and Jacques de Gheyn.

Module Overview
The WissKI System comes as a bunch of drupal modules. At the beginning of the project, the stable version of Drupal was Drupal 6. Nowadays Drupal 7 is out and we promise to provide Drupal 7 modules as soon as possible. The WissKI system is based on four core modules and several advanced feature modules:
WissKI Triple Store API
This API enhances the basic features of Drupal by an ARC2 triple store and the required interfaces for interaction with the triple store. All other WissKI modules require this basic module. The module depends on the Drupal Path module, as Drupal pages with path aliases are generated for the data.
WissKI Base API
The WissKI Base API module enables new semantically enriched content types in the Drupal installation. Moreover it handles the creation, deletion, editing and management of these content types. Moreover the handling of the ontologies is managed by this module. As the semantic data of these content types is stored in the triple store, this module requires the WissKI Triple Store API.
WissKI Pathbuilder API
The backbone of the semantic annotation process is the WissKI Pathbuilder API module. The administrator is provided with an interface for the definition of sets of paths consisting of a concept of the given ontology connected via a property to another concept of the given ontology which itself can be connected via a property to another concept and so on. These definitions are used as "semantic patterns" for the creation of the data. Form fields with embedded semantics can be automatically constructed this way.
For example the administrator can define the following semantics for a person which results in the automatically generated form on the right:
The same semantics are used in the WYSIWYG Editor, so data can be gathered by forms and free text and will be annotated the same way.
WissKI WYSIWYG Semantic Editor
WissKI provides a module for the integration of an automatic annotation tool developed by the AI department. The module enables a WYSIWYG editor which allows semantic annotation of free text while writing the text. The Pathbuilder API is required by this module.
WissKI Name Authority API
The last of the four core modules is the WissKI Name Authority API. This API allows the integration of any name authority in SKOS format. For a list of supported name authorities please see the techwatch section here.
Advanced WissKI feature Modules
- WissKI Discussion Module
- WissKI Navigation Module
- WissKI Find Module
- WissKI OAI-PMH Provider Module
- WissKI SQL Import Module
- WissKI Theme
and many more, currently still under development.

I have been wrestling a lot recently with the concept of becoming vs. doing. For much of my life, the driving force was what did I do? The more I did, the better, the more public, impressive, flashy, even greater. Yet as I read scripture it is abundantly clear that God is not impressed with our to-do list, but instead wants to look at your becoming list. Instead of asking what do I do, ask who am I becoming? Last week I wrestled with the concept of schedules, of what things we do, and invest our time. Does my schedule reflect the kind of person that I want to become? If I want to become a great tennis player, my to-do better include practicing tennis, healthy eating, and weigh training to name a few. If you want to grow as a Christian, what needs to be part of the doing in your life that leads to your becoming?
In the midst of what is often busy lives for us that are so often driven by the urgent, what helps hold it all together, and keep us moving in the direction of what we are becoming? This can be found in something called Spiritual disciplines. These can be defined as, "training expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior." Some examples: reading scripture, prayer, solitude, fasting, worship, fellowship, confession (for more and detailed explanations go to: (https://bible.org/illustration/spiritual-disciplines). The manner in which you intentionally live into these habits daily, weekly, and occasionally are called a Spiritual Workout. Like a physical regiment, it is done with intentionality and purpose, seeking to connect with God, and stay connected to God as you seek to become the person God is calling you to become.
My colleague Chip Sauer shared this quote about the impact of a Spiritual workout from a retreat he led, "My spiritual workout is like the music I need to listen to that helps me live/dance to the rhythm of God." To me this helps me to understand the impact of a Spiritual workout. Listen to songs like "Chicken Dance," "Twist and Shout," or "Unchained Melody" and they make me move in a certain way, each differently. In the same way our Spiritual workout creates space for God to set a rhythm that moves us, drives us, and guides us in our everyday lives. Spiritual workout may be a set of practices done privately, but they help to keep us in rhythm with the work of the Holy Spirit. It's hard to spend time in God's Word regularly, and not have it impact how you live. It's equally challenging to genuinely seek God's wisdom in prayer regularly, and find yourself going the opposite direction that God is calling. My challenge for you this week: set a Spiritual work out for yourself. Be intentional that this will stretch you and help you become the person God is leading you to become. And give yourself some grace. Most habits take at a minimum 30 days to become normative. You will miss prayers one day, or sleep through the alarm, or forget to set aside time for solitude. Stick with it, and you will find that your workout shifts from this pattern you need to very intentionally stick with, to something that you can't envision doing without, because it is such a part of the fabric of your day.

- Description:
Nichiyu FBRA25 (lift height 4.9m) Standard
Top-class turning radius
Because the Platter FBR-75 Series offers the smallest turning radius of any reach forklift truck, it effectively handles the tightest of turns. As a result, it can be operated comfortably even in work locations with narrow aisles. What's more, thanks to the electric power steering (EPS) feature, the FBR-75 Series can be steered with ease even at slow travel speeds.
Outstanding stability in motion
The FBR-75 Series now incorporates an automatic suspension system. This feature ensures stability when the forklift is traveling by counteracting the rolling motion caused by centrifugal force during travel.
Top-class material handling capabilities and travel speed
The platter FBR-75 Series employs more powerful AC motors for its propulsion and hydraulic system. Compared with conventional reach forklift trucks, this new model offers exceptional operational capabilities in terms of traveling speed, acceleration and lifting speed. Thanks to the smooth, stress-free movement of this new truck, operators can handle additional work opportunities.
Maximized operation time between recharges
The SICOS-AC computer control system carefully governs power consumption. As a result, a single charge provides ample power for long periods of operation, increasing the efficiency of material handling tasks.
Minimal load reduction for lift height
Our 1.5 metric ton model is subject to no load reduction up to 4 meter lifting for the standard chassis and up to 5 meter for the long wheel base chassis. Thanks to the stability offered by its low center of gravity, work can be performed safely at 4 or 5 meters lifting range.

Despite the rain all day yesterday, the rain this morning, and the forecasted rain and wind over the next three days, I'm still enjoying being home. Normally I despise rainy, gloomy weather so much that it makes my whole day feel like a chore as I fight through it in a crabby mood. I'm such an outdoorsy girl, and because I loathe being wet, rainy weather isn't congruent with my notion of comfort. Plus, I have a unique plant-like relationship with the sun as I've mentioned in previous posts. It's as if I'm partly plant and can derive usable cellular energy from sunlight via photosynthesis.
I slept well the night we got home from our trip, but last night, I couldn't sleep past midnight. I kept my eyes closed until 3:00am or so to try and maximize the restfulness of my non-sleeping bedtime. Sometimes, I read or watch a show on my phone when I'm having an insomniac night. I'm definitely feeling more run-down today than yesterday.
The major stressor of yesterday was that Ben's car broke down right in the middle of an intersection on his way to work. After a series of flashing dashboard warning lights, the battery shut off and the car was rendered completely useless. We don't have towing service on our car insurance because we have it stripped down to the basics to save on the monthly cost. I hurried home and did my best to locate jumper cables, which we also don't own, using my limited network of local contacts. My creative mind included the library staff, so, despite hating calling people (especially for favors), I rang up and inquired if anyone there had cables. After being transferred around a bit, I indeed found a lovely librarian who had cables in her car and was generous enough to let us borrow them. Panicked Ben was counting down the minutes with the police officer in the busy intersection who kept asking me when I'd arrive. I made it and we successfully jumped the car, only to have it stall out immediately after we both got back in our vehicles. We re-jumped it, allowing it to charge for a longer period of time. That time, he was able to drive away towards the nearest mechanic. Unfortunately, no sooner had he cleared the one crowded intersection, the car crapped out again at the next one, again smack in the middle.
At this point, the officer still escorting us from behind said we needed to have it towed and could not try again. We had to eat the cost and the car was brought to the mechanic who replaced the broken alternator. Ben drove my car to work and I walked home.
It's unfortunate timing because our financial situation is really poor right now, so the towing and car work were yet more unanticipated large expenses. What can you do? We already try to pinch pennies, but sometimes things happen.
The other downside of the car work yesterday was that it left me without a car and I needed to get medical care for the infection that developed while we were away that caused us to leave a bit early. My doctor's office is not walkable, so I had to navigate the bus and Uber options to get myself there and back. This would be a hassle on any day, but the rain and the fact that it was because I was sick and not feeling well that I needed to get to the office made it that much more of a headache. I was a good sport though and took one for the team so to speak, not complaining and sucking up my discomfort and fatigue.
While these obviously difficult situations would justify deeming yesterday a bad day, I actually found the other parts of the day, which were nice, to offset the bad; overall, I had a good day. I completed a big project and felt very satisfied with my work. Sending it to my boss afforded me a healthy confidence and ego boost. I cannot overstate the gratification I receive when I work hard, exceed expectations, and feel proud of what I have done. I take my job responsibilities (on my current and all prior jobs) with a sense of duty and pride. I make it my mission to put my full effort into even seemingly mundane tasks.
I hope that today also has bright spots to balance out the challenges and the pain I'm in. If I get enough work done, I'll work on the puzzle a bit this afternoon. It's been while since I've had free time to spend on it. The rain and lack of sleep will naturally work against my good mood, but I'll mount an aggressive defense. I want to be happy.

The brain has chambers called ventricles that normally contain fluid. This fluid is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It cushions the brain and spinal cord. Normally your body makes just enough CSF each day and absorbs that same amount. Sometimes, however, too much fluid can build up in the ventricles. This can lead to a normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).
The cause of excess fluid in the ventricles of the brain may be due to injury, bleeding, infection, brain tumor, or surgery on the brain. However, the cause is often not known. When excess fluid builds up in the ventricles, they enlarge and press against nearby brain tissue. This extra fluid and pressure can lead to brain damage.
NPH though rare, most often affects older adults, and its symptoms can be similar to those of Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. A healthcare provider familiar with these conditions can often tell the difference between these diseases and NPH after special testing.
You are at increased risk for NPH if you:
These are possible symptoms of NPH:
Your medical team may need to do a number of tests to confirm NPH, such as:
A commonly used treatment for NPH is surgery to place a tube, called a shunt, into the brain to drain the excess fluid. The shunt is usually inserted into a ventricle in the brain and then passed under your skin from your head through your neck and chest to your abdomen. The extra fluid in your brain flows through the shunt into your abdomen, where your body absorbs it. The ventricles in your brain may then go back to their normal size. The shunt stays in place as long as there is too much CSF in the brain.
Implanting a shunt doesn't work for everyone, but some people do benefit from it. Getting prompt diagnosis and treatment helps improve your chances of a good outcome.
The complications of NPH include:
If you or an elderly relative have changes in walking, thinking, mood, or loss of bladder control, contact your healthcare provider. Describe when the changes started and how they are affecting your physical activity and emotional well-being.

Male Assaulted with Ice Pick at Mulberry Drive and Calmada Avenue, Unincorporated Whittier #LASD @NorwalkLASD
On Wednesday, August 17, 2016 at approximately 12:00 a.m. Norwalk Sheriff's Station deputies responded to Mulberry Drive and Calmada Avenue, unincorporated Whittier to an Assault with a Deadly Weapon call.
When the deputies arrived they learned the victim, a male adult, was standing on the corner, when a dark colored sedan occupied by three male Hispanics stopped their vehicle, exited the dark colored sedan and, without provocation, attacked the victim. During this attack, the victim was stabbed with an ice pick in the right side of his abdomen. The suspects' vehicle fled eastbound on Mulberry Drive from Calmada Avenue and out of view. The victim indicated the incident could possibly be gang related.
The victim was transported to a local area hospital, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The victim was very uncooperative with deputies during the investigation and refused to provide any details. There were no witnesses identified or evidence recovered from the scene.
The investigation is on-going and there is no additional information available.
For any additional information or media inquiries regarding this incident, please contact Norwalk Sheriff's Station watch commander at (562) 863-8711.

Pushed Out of the Workplace
By Reshma Mehta , February 27, 2014 09:22 AM
Have you ever felt like an employer was holding your age against you?
If so, you aren't alone. In these tough economic times, more and more Americans believe they are facing age-based discrimination at the office. In fact, a 2013 AARP study found that nearly 2 in 3 workers ages 45-74 said they have seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace. Of those, a whopping 92 percent said it was very or somewhat common.
Nearly 20 percent of the respondents said they were not hired for a job because of their age. But even after you have a job in hand, age discrimination can still rear its ugly head. Another 12 percent of respondents said they were passed up for a promotion, 9 percent said they were denied access to training or development opportunities, and 8 percent said they were laid off or fired due to their age.
The last stat is especially troubling because older workers face much longer periods of unemployment - recently averaging more than a year - than younger ones when they lose jobs. More than one-third of older workers are not confident they could find another job right away without having to take a pay cut or move. Coupled with the fact that half of older workers have less than $25,000 in savings, it's clear that age discrimination can have a devastating impact on older workers' long-term financial security.
AARP is fighting back against age discrimination because we strongly believe that no one's possibilities should be limited by their age. Right now, we're advocating for bipartisan legislation to fix a Supreme Court decision that made it easier to discriminate against older workers. Passing the legislation would help ensure that older workers have a more level playing field when needing to prove bias based on age.
Stay tuned for ways you can get involved and help defend the rights of older individuals in the workplace.

I fixed my screen by starting on the middle of the line and rubbing to the edges it doesn't happen right away but each time I used it more of the line was gone I only rubbed it a few minutes at at time. It took a few days of this till the line was gone but it was worth it.

The small renovated church sits quietly, waiting to fill with tears and laughter. The lights are dim, but bright enough to see. The burgundy velvet seats harken back to a time when communities gathered together to share in talent and togetherness. Their elegant design along the sides of the seats, and their wooden backs echo through time to the decades when design was more important than just cost. The Marble Arts is about to brim over with talent.
I feel like sometimes I sound like a broken record, but sometimes records break at a great part of the song, today's kids would say that their ipod's stuck on replay. I have chosen to live in a beautiful part of rural Ontario. The village I live in is surrounded buy rolling aces of farmland. The people in my community are good, hardworking people. I love my little piece of the universe. I exchanged the hustle and bustle of city life. Part of that exchange was with the knowledge that I could / would return to the closest city for material goods, and I could make the trip to Toronto for culture. As it happens the last part of my self made compromise was unnecessary. The city came to me, in a sense. We have Tweed native, Tim Porter.
Tim Porter has brought an amazing original Canadian production to Tweed. I'll Fly Away was written by Tricia Black, Joel MacMeeken and Tim Porter. It takes place in a time that seems so foreign to us now, a time when radio ruled and television was just in it's inception. The story tells the last days of The Barn Door Country Classic Jamboree, but more it shows the dynamics of the three recently parentless Dawson sisters and their family dynamics. There is that too familiar static of sibling rivalry, the fight for top dog. There is that heavy burden of continuing the family legacy.
|Riley's dance school got to perform
in the play too. Doing a little
Hoe Down.
I have now seen the show three times and could easily see it again. It was excellent. Tim put together this amazingly talented cast of professional actors (and a few really talented young locals). The three female leads Sara Wilkinson, Sarah Strange and Sarah Higgins had the most stunningly beautiful voices, and the harmonies sent shivers. Joel MacMeekin stole the show with his character Maverick and his impeccable comic timing. I will admit I have a very LARGE soft spot for the Lovely Little Lady Lullabies / The Privit sisters because my Grace played Daisy.
|Grace and Tim
It seems crazy that five years have flown by so quickly and that young actor teaching classes would go on to create his own theatre group first named The Iana Theatre, and now Tweed and Company to better reflect it's and his beginnings. Tim has gone on to tour the country professionally. Our painfully shy girl, is still very, very shy, but is now able to belt out her big voice for hundreds of people without batting an eyelash. She is now a vocal music major at a local high school for the arts. It was so amazing to me as a parent to see her come full circle and have Tim, not just as a teacher but now as her director in a professional play. To say that I am proud of Tim and his amazing accomplishments would be an understatement. To say that I am proud of my Grace would be the understatement of the century!
|Grace and Joel
|Grace and Abby
|Grace and Katie
|Grace and Sara
|Grace and Collin
|Grace and Sarah Higgins
|Grace having fun with Sarah Strange
If there are any big time fancy smancy producers reading this, please give Tim a call. This is a wonderful production, that deserves to grace the stage again and again. This is a play beautifully written that honestly in my opinion deserves to win an award for writing. It was so very good, and I really hope to see it again.

Sports Betting for Beginners

Posted in WikinutGamblingSports BettingFootball
Do you fancy a flutter? If yes, then read on. Before you begin it is worth noting that the bookies make sure the odds are at least slightly in their favor. Still, there are a few tips that may give some advantages.
Sports Betting for Beginners
Let us first begin by noting clearly how you may calculate the potential returns of any given odds. Odds are stated something like: 11/1, 7/5, 11/5, 3/10 etc. Such odds give an indication as to firstly how likely a potential team winning is, and then secondly the returns for a win. Just divide the first number given by the second, so for example 7/5 will give 1.4, or 3/10 will give 0.3. As such, for every dollar you can expect $1.4 dollars returned in the first case, or $0.3 which is actually 30 cents returned for every dollar.
When you do this, you can then simply multiply this by your total stake for a potential return. So for example, $10 x 0.3 will win $3 while $10 x $1.4 will give $14! So, there is quite a big difference between these two examples. If a return is less than a $ then it is said to be an odds on bet.
Sports betting really is about considering the value. By backing the favorites to win all the time, you will certainly win more often, but then this may not guarantee a better return. By looking for those teams that may have a chance, but are not favorites, there are greater potential returns. Backing the underdog is not always recommended, but if they have a realistic chance then by all means back them.
Betting on soccer game outcomes is recommended. That is to say that as there are only three potential outcomes, your statistical chances will at least be 1/3. However, in truth if you back the favorite you will win more than you lose, that is for sure, but does not guarantee that you will profit. However, you can also back two potential outcomes which statistically gives you a 2/3 chance and further guarantee that you will win more often. However, the returns will be proportionally less.
Steer clear of long accumulators. Accumulators require a number of accurate results in a number of games, and the longer the accumulator is the longer the odds become. If you must use accumulator, short ones of one, two or three games will give you a much better chance.
These few tips should assist in getting started. Just remember to be realistic, and not wager too much. Good luck! You may need it...
