Note: This interior review was created when the 2014 Cadillac XTS was new.
Test drivers agree that the 2014 Cadillac XTS has a well-built cabin that's quiet and luxurious, and they appreciate its large trunk and very comfortable, spacious seats. The XTS has a number of high-tech features, though reviewers think certain components, such as the CUE infotainment system, can be difficult to use.
The 2014 Cadillac XTS seats five and comes with leather upholstery and power-adjustable front seats. Optional features include heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Reviewers think the front and rear seats are very comfortable and offer plenty of head- and legroom.
The 2014 Cadillac XTS comes with push-button start, rear parking sensors, dual-zone automatic climate control, an eight-speaker Bose audio system, satellite and HD Radio, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming and Cadillac's CUE infotainment system. Available features include a sunroof, tri-zone automatic climate control, navigation, a 14-speaker surround sound audio system, a dual-screen rear-seat Blu-Ray player and a backup camera. Also available are adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and automatic parking assistance, which can help the driver steer the car into a parallel parking space.
Some reviewers say the CUE infotainment system is intuitive, but others think it complicates the audio and climate controls. Several critics write that the touch-sensitive buttons beneath the touch screen are difficult to operate while driving.
The 2014 Cadillac XTS has standard split-folding rear seats and 18 cubic feet of cargo space, which is more than what most luxury large cars offer. Critics appreciate the large trunk, and they think the small storage spaces around the cabin are useful.

Prince William and Kate Middleton became engaged last month, but already the public is eager for details about the upcoming royal wedding. What do we know so far?
William and Kate Engagement
Kate chose an appropriately colored royal blue silk dress by Issa for her engagement. The dress sold out within 24 hours at Net-a-Porter.com. Most of us would have some dieting and working out to do if we wanted to fit into the size 2 dress Kate wore.
William and Kate Engagement Photos
Peruvian celebrity photographer Mario Testino took the official engagement photos of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Testino is well-known for his 1997 iconic black-and-white photos of Princess Diana, published in Vanity Fair just a month before her death.
Testino pronounced the young couple "brimming with happiness," and said, "I have never felt so much joy as when I see them together."
Royal Wedding Date
Kate and William's wedding date will be April 29, 2011, a Friday. The date will be a bank holiday (a public holiday) in England. This should be popular with the Brits as it will mean two long weekends in a row, since Easter is the weekend prior to the wedding.
Royal Wedding Location
William and Kate will marry in London's Westminster Abbey. The beautiful cathedral is informally known as the royal family's church, and was the location of Princess Diana's funeral. Prince William's uncle, Prince Andrew, married Sarah Ferguson in Westminster Abbey in 1986. However, William's parents, Princess Charles and Princess Diana, chose St. Paul's Cathedral for their wedding because of its larger size.
The Minister
Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, will officiate at the royal wedding. As Archbishop of Canterbury, Williams is the leader of the Church of England. When he is King, William will become the Supreme Governor of the Church, so this is an appropriate choice.
The Dress
The question of who will design Kate Middleton's wedding dress is the subject of intense speculation. Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed Princess Diana's 1981 fairytale gown, speculates that "Kate will steer clear of a big bouffant dress." Good idea – the '80s are over.
Designer Monique Lhuillier predicts that Kate's gown will be cut "very close to that rocking body."
British designer Bruce Oldfield, who designed for Diana for several years, is an early favorite to create Kate's dress. This rumor was fueled by fellow British designer Ben de Lisi's recent comment that "I've heard it is Bruce Oldfield." Oldfield hasn't denied the rumors, stating, "If I was lucky enough to be asked, I'd be delighted."
Stay tuned …
Where is Kate Living?
Kate is living in London, in Clarence House near Buckingham Palace so she can be close to the locations she is visiting for planning. She meets weekly with royal aides at St. James Palace, and a royal aide shares, "She's a good planner." No wonder: she has worked for her family's party planning business.

Ideas and how to kill them – tools to help evaluate creative ideas
Bridges shares her advice for how to balance your head and your heart when evaluating your own, or someone else's creative ideas and when to convene a Murder Board
This is an extract from In Your Creative Element by Claire Bridges, a book about creativity in business
Think about the last time you thought something was 'creative'. What was it?What criteria did you apply to decide whether it was creative? The envy factor is often how I judge creative ideas – when I think, 'ooh, I wish I'd thought of that!' Whilst we may think we're being rational, our first reaction is always emotional (intuitive, unconscious, fast) rather than systematic logical thinking based on evidence, as brilliantly summarised in Daniel Kahneman's masterly book Thinking Fast and Slow.

Move rollout_status out of Clusters::Kubernetes::Platform
The following discussion from !13307 (merged) should be addressed:
@tkuah started a discussion: (+1 comment)
Correct me if I'm wrong - is there anything that requires the
#rollout_statusmethod to be in
It's really doing some generic filtering to construct a
::Gitlab::Kubernetes::RolloutStatusobject. Can we move
#rollout_statusout to somewhere else (either here or
::Gitlab::Kubernetes::RolloutStatusor a nother suitable place) ?
Possibly do the same as well for #terminals, but that's less clear cut to me

Time is not money. The universal dictum of "time is money" was made famous by Benjamin Franklin when he equated the passing minutes and hours to shillings and pounds.
"No es personal" es una frase de uso común cuando estamos haciendo comentarios o compartiendo malas noticias con alguien, normalmente sobre algo relacionado con el trabajo. Sabemos que cuando nos tomamos las cosas personalmente, nuestro cerebro reacciona con nuestro mecanismo de defensa animal que nos protege inmediatamente de cualquier forma de agresión. Incluso si lo que percibimos como agresión son palabras, nuestro sistema genera adrenalina, envía sangre a nuestras extremidades y comienza nuestra respuesta de lucha o huida.
El amor es un tema complejo cubierto por muchos poemas, libros, películas e historias. Sin duda, una parte intrínseca de nuestra vida, sin importar que trabajo, profesión o negocio tengamos. Siempre habrá un gran enfoque en nuestros seres queridos cuando se trata de nuestra lista de prioridades de tiempo y recursos. Podría ser tu esposo o esposa e hijos, podrían ser tus padres, tus amigos o incluso tu perro, pero a todos nos gusta amar y ser amados.
"It's not personal", is a commonly used phrase when we are either giving feedback or sharing bad news with someone about something at work. We know that when we take things personally our brain reacts with our animal defense mechanism immediately protecting us from any form of aggression. Even if what we perceive as aggression is words, our system generates adrenaline, sends blood to our limbs and starts up our fight or flight response.
Love is a complex topic covered by so many poems, books, movies and stories. No doubt an intrinsic part of our human life no matter what job, profession or business we have. There will always be a big focus on our loved ones when it comes to our priority list for time and resources. It could be your husband or wife and kids, it could be your parents, your friends or even your dog but we all love and like to be loved.
Todos sabemos que la soledad no es nada agradable. Cuando estamos solos y tenemos esa sensación de no estar conectados, las emociones negativas surgen fácilmente e incluso pueden llevarnos al punto de sentirnos deprimidos o completamente desmotivados. ¿Pero estamos haciendo algo al respecto?
We all know that loneliness is not a nice thing. When we are lonely and we have that feeling of not being connected, negative emotions easily arise and can even hold us to the degree of feeling depressed or completely demotivated. But are we reaching out?
"You must hear the very same thing over and over again" my coachee said, as we finished the session. I have to admit, he caught me off guard and caused me to pause. I think one of the things I have learned in my years of coaching through helping and challenging people in different situations, stages of their lives and parts of the world, is that there are no two people that share the exact same situation, thoughts or ideas.
They say that the 3 top fears for a human being are public speaking, death and dancing in public, and it seems they are in that order. As I have worked as a Coach and consultant with many people and as a manager of teams, I can confirm that public speaking fear is indeed very threatening for many people.
Listen. Observe. Accept. Move.
There is a fine line between constructive criticism and just flat out disapproval. Being on the receiving end can either be helpful or make you defensive. We are all born with the ability to express ourselves; we all know how to display emotions and we all communicate them, unfortunately we are not all equipped with the same ability of knowing exactly when we should communicate certain thoughts, feelings or suggestions, I call it tact. Some are born with it; and others, well sadly it takes a lifetime.

Mental toughness "This team showed a lot of mental toughness over the course of the year," Brady said. The Falcons have never won the Super Bowl. This will be Atlanta's second trip to the big game; they lost to Denver in 1999. The club's never had a quarterback quite as good as Ryan, though. The guy nicknamed "Matty Ice" went 27 for 38 for 392 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions, while adding a rushing TD, to boot, leading Atlanta past Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers 44-21 in the NFC championship game. Brady tied Hall of Famer Joe Montana's record with a ninth three-TD postseason game, helping the Patriots beat Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers 36-17 for the AFC championship. New England opened the season with a 3-1 record despite using two backup quarterbacks while playing those games without Brady after he went through a lengthy court battle in an unsuccessful bid to have his ban overturned for what became known as "Deflategate." NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Brady because the league said it determined the Patriots intentionally underinflated footballs used in an AFC championship game victory two years ago. A season that began with Tom Brady serving a four-game suspension will end with him in the Super Bowl, where his New England Patriots will take on Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons. While much of the attention has been focused on Brady vs. Ryan, the truly key matchup could be Atlanta's score-at-will offence, which produced the most points during the regular season, against the unheralded defence of New England, which allowed the fewest. And these two teams are playing their best football at the most important time. AFC champions New England (16-2) have won nine consecutive games – and haven't even trailed since Nov. 27. NFC champions Atlanta (13-5) have won their past six in a row, scoring at least 33 points in each. "We'll enjoy this," Ryan said. "But we've got some work to do." Brady and coach Bill Belichick will be seeking their – and the Patriots' – fifth Lombardi Trophy, and second in three years. This will be the franchise's league-record ninth appearance in the Super Bowl, including titles in the 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2015 editions.

Can we be consistent?
Dear Editor,We've seen Chinese supermarkets opening all over Guyana, and many citizens have started to support them because they are selling cheaper than other supermarkets/shops. On closer investigation, I've discovered that the retail prices for beverages (alcohol/non-alcohol) are similar to the shop/agent's wholesale prices, and that you get to take the bottles away from the Chinese supermarkets for the same price, whilst you have to pay for the bottle at the wholesale shops.I've also noticed that many people are now buying their rums/vodkas/whiskeys from these Chinese supermarkets because they are cheaper there. Such is competition, but I wonder how the Chinese are able to sell at such low prices, especially when the agents are selling at the prices recommended by their suppliers and the agents/wholesalers are claiming that to sell at anything lower would be selling at a loss for them.I've gone to make purchases at different supermarkets operated by Chinese, and I have come to the conclusion that if you don't check whatever you are purchasing, when you are ready to use it, you would suffer tremendous losses. I purchased a sealed bag of rice, and when I opened it at home, it was infested with rice weevils.It should be noted that I'm in no way trying to discredit any particular place, because I've also experienced similar situations at local supermarkets operated and owned by Guyanese.And upon checking my other purchases, I discovered there were some bad onions, garlic and potatoes among the good ones.Editor, I've only recently observed that certain places were being raided, expired and spoilt items confiscated, and people were getting charged. Apart from the wholesale places, the Stabroek Market was also raided, and the next day, items similar to those seized were back on sale at the market. Many of these sellers claim ignorance of the condition of the items they put up for sale, but the truth of the matter is that they are fully aware of the condition of those items; however, opportunity exists for them to make a huge profit at the threat of people's health, and they take the opportunity. Many of these items enter this country under the approval of the Customs, the Food and Drugs Administration and other relevant bodies responsible because someone 'inside' had taken a 'small change'.As for weights and measurements, that culture of shortchanging people is very much prevalent all over the country to date. The last time the Bureau of Statistics raided the Stabroek Market, they found a tremendous amount of discrepancies. Many of these places would have the approved scales/weights but still shortchange you in your purchase; you are not getting what you paid for. That's the culture of many Guyanese.Could that stop? No, because many of those sellers would have 'contacts,' and when a raid is about to take place, the contacts would tip-off the culprits. Many of these employees would 'pass by' and collect a small 'change' just to allow the lawlessness to continue. The 'shakedown' is very prevalent in Stabroek Market.Finally, Editor, I've also talked about our farmers lacing the vegetables with chemicals and putting them for sale. These chemicals are supposed to be used on the plants/vegetables at {based on the type} least seven to fifteen days before picking. I am almost 100% certain that this is not being practised by the farmers. As usual, most Guyanese would do their shopping for the coming week on weekends, and many would store their vegetables (or certain types) in a fridge. Many, including myself, would notice that these vegetables would start to melt, get ripe, or spoil two days after. This is a direct result of the chemicals being used and the way they were administered.Now, I've a friend on the FB list who works at NAREI, and I've asked her about the procedure and if there are any tools that could be used to visit the market and test the vegetables for traces of chemicals. To date, I am awaiting an answer. I'm of the view that raids should be conducted on the farmers when they are selling, and their produce should be tested, because majority of buyers are being shortchanged and the vegetables have chemicals which are dangerous to our health. We can't use half of what we purchase three to four days after. Where are we heading, and what are we paying for?Sincerely,Sahadeo Bates

Lukaku in Man Utd spotlight as goals dry up
0Shares0000Having scored 11 goals in his first 10 games following his £75mn transfer to Manchester United from Everton, Romelu Lukaku (L) has found the net only once in 12 matches since © IKIMAGES/AFP/File / Ian KINGTONLONDON, United Kingdom, Dec 4 – With Zlatan Ibrahimovic fit again and closely scrutinising his performances from the substitutes' bench, Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku is under pressure to rediscover his goal-scoring touch.Having scored 11 goals in his first 10 games following his £75 million ($100.8 million, 85 million euros) switch from Everton, Lukaku has found the net only once in 12 matches since. Manager Jose Mourinho continues to profess satisfaction with Lukaku's all-round displays, but the longer the Belgian striker's difficulties continue, the bigger a point of concern it will become."For a striker, it is all about your goals and unfortunately people will always measure him by that, but away from the goals his contribution has to be big," says former United captain Gary Neville."He's had his struggles. That was always going to happen at some point after his blistering start, but this is a critical stage of the season where he has to deliver."Question marks are hovering above Lukaku as United approach a potentially pivotal week in their season.They host CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday and face Premier League pace-setters Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday in a derby they must win if they are make up ground in the title race.Lukaku's recent displays suggest if United are to get the results they need, their goals are unlikely to come from him.His frustrations appeared to tell during United's 1-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion when he kicked out at Gaetan Bong in an incident caught on camera but for which he avoided retrospective punishment.He squandered three presentable chances during United's 4-2 win at Watford last week, notably dallying for too long when presented with a clear sight of goal by Paul Pogba, enabling the home defence to block.But he also played an important role at Vicarage Road, setting up a goal for Anthony Martial, and produced a similarly valuable contribution in Saturday's 3-1 success at Arsenal.– 'Demons' –Though he did not find the net at the Emirates Stadium, Lukaku's pressing and direct running helped establish United's tempo and he was involved in the move that led to Jesse Lingard scoring the visitors' second goal.Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his return from a nine-month lay-off with a serious knee injury, as a late substitute in last month's 4-1 win over Newcastle © AFP/File / Oli SCARFFMourinho joked after the win at Watford that Lukaku needed only to secure a new boot deal, but the United manager has been steadfast in his defence of the former Chelsea striker, who he has described as "untouchable".While United's other attacking players — Martial, Lingard, Marcus Rashford, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata — are regularly rotated, Lukaku has started every single game in the league and Champions League."For me, the most important thing is teamwork and he's second to none in terms of giving everything he has to the team," Mourinho said."If he scores or doesn't score, that's not a problem."When Ibrahimovic made his return from a nine-month lay-off with a serious knee injury, as a late substitute in last month's 4-1 win over Newcastle United, Lukaku was farmed out to the right wing to make way.But working in his favour is the fact his pace and mobility make him a much neater fit for United's counter-attacking football than the sauntering Ibrahimovic.Lukaku's lateral movement across the pitch serves to open up space for the likes of Pogba, Martial and Rashford, all of whom have benefited greatly from the Belgian's ability to tie up opposition centre-backs."I don't see Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a threat to Lukaku at all, but as a supplement," Neville wrote in a recent Sky Sports column."The only way Ibrahimovic can become number one is if the aura of Zlatan gets to Lukaku."Zlatan is confident, but Lukaku is number one, the fans and the manager believe in him and if he does have any demons then he needs to clear them from his mind."0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today)
Vick indicted on state dogfighting charges
Vick, who already pleaded guilty in federal court to a dogfighting conspiracy charge and is awaiting sentencing on Dec. 10, was indicted for beating or killing or causing dogs to fight other dogs and engaging in or promoting dogfighting. The grand jury met for more than three hours. The charges are the first leveled against Vick in the county where he built a home on 15 acres that was the base of the dogfighting operation. Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald G. Poindexter asked that the four be arraigned Oct. 3 and requested that each be released on a $50,000 personal recognizance bond. None of the defendants nor their lawyers were in court. By HANK KURZ Jr. AP Sports Writer SUSSEX, Va. – Michael Vick and three co-defendants were indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on state charges related to a dogfighting ring operated on Vick's Virginia property. The grand jury passed on indicting the Atlanta Falcons quarterback and two of co-defendants on eight counts of animal cruelty, which would have exposed them to as many as 40 years in prison if convicted. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

A study of the air in Letterkenny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Health Service Executive has shown alarming results.The study, undertaken over the past two years, shows unacceptable levels of dust particles known as PM10.Many of these particles are connected with the burning of coal. The results of the study has partially led to a ban on the burning, marketing, sale and distribution of "smoky coal" which will be introduced to Letterkenny and its environs from May 1st 2013.The purpose of this ban is to deliver cleaner air and to reduce air pollution in the larger towns and cities in Ireland. This has been done in many other towns and cities since 1990 when the ban was first introduced to Dublin.From 1st May, Coal Retailers and Coal Merchants will not be permitted to market, sell or distribute bituminous (smoky) coal to householders in Letterkenny and the wider environs. In addition to this, householders within Letterkenny and the wider environs will no longer be allowed to burn bituminous (smoky) coal from 1st May. A map of the ban area can be found at www.donegalcoco.ie.The sole purpose of the "Smoky Coal" ban is to deliver cleaner air to the Letterkenny area. The EPA, in conjunction with the HSE, has monitored the air quality in Letterkenny for the past 2 years and the results show an unacceptable number of exceedences of the air quality limits for PM10 which are very fine particles of dust or particulate matter (less than one-hundredth of a millimetre in size).In smaller urban centres such as Letterkenny, the main source of PM10 is the emissions resulting from the burning of smoky solid fuels.PM10 is harmful to health owing to its ability to penetrate into the lungs and is associated with cardiopulmonary and respiratory disorders. Put simply, less PM10 means better health and improved air quality.The "Smoky Coal" Ban has been in place in Dublin for the past 23 years and has had a dramatic impact on the air quality in the city.Research carried out by Professor Luke Clancy in 2002 has indicated that the smoky coal ban introduced in Dublin in 1990 resulted in major health benefits with up to 350 fewer deaths annually in the city. The Asthma Society has stated "that Ireland has the 4th highest prevalence of asthma worldwide with 470,000 people in Ireland suffering from Asthma. The research published in The Lancet also showed that poor air quality is directly linked to increased risk of death from respiratory and cardiovascular disease."The Asthma Society state that "people who suffer from respiratory conditions, such as asthma, can be badly affected by exposure to harmful particles in the air which result from pollutants, including the burning of smoky coal."The alternatives to burning "Smoky Coal" is to use Smokeless Fuels including,• Smokeless Coal – bags will be clearly labelled "Smokeless Fuel", • Wood – kindling, firewood logs, firestarter logs• Turf – loose turf and baled briquettes.The new regulation will be enforced by Donegal County Council after an awareness raising campaign. Inspections will be carried out on retailers, coal merchants and coal delivery lorries. Inspections will also be carried out "out of hours" when coal deliveries are most frequent.Donegal County Council encourages members of the public to report instances of the flouting of the law, which will result in enforcement action being taken by Donegal County Council.STUDY OF LETTERKENNY AIR SHOWS SMOKY COAL BAN BADLY NEEDED was last modified: April 22nd, 2013 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:letterkennysmoky coal ban

John Downey's renewed bail application refused
Donegal man John Downey, who stands accused of the murder of two UDR soldiers, has been refused bail again. Downey appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court today for a renewed bail application, the Belfast Telegraph reports. However, the 67-year-old's application was denied, despite an unprecedented amount of cash and realisable property being offered.Downey, who has an address in Creeslough Co. Donegal, is charged with murdering two British soldiers in an IRA bomb attack in Enniskillen in 1972. He was extradited to the UK after handing himself into gardaí in October.The bail application heard that £225,000 in cash and a further £500,000 in equity was proposed as sureties. Downey's defence also said he proposed to live in a property in Belfast belonging to a Sinn Féin Councillor.The application was refused by District Judge Peter Magill.Read more at: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/john-downey-bail-refused-despite-offer-to-live-with-sinn-fein-councillor-and-750k-surety-38716730.htmlJohn Downey's renewed bail application refused was last modified: December 20th, 2019 by Staff WriterShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

Greetings! Last Friday, Captain's Log Vol. 2 was released. I mentioned in passing that I still had to secure my seat at the upcoming Mythic Championship in London. I'm happy to announce that the very next day, I qualified through the Top 8 at the Online Regional Qualifiers. White Weenie splash blue – or Azorius Aggro as some call it – got me there. I switched away from Mono Blue which I played at the Mythic Championship, even though it won that tournament. I'd like to go through the strengths and weaknesses of my new deck. I'll also discuss some card choices and why I think it was the right choice for this current metagame. I will also shortly describe my matchups and of course include how I sideboarded in each of them.
A Great Metagame Call
Why White Weenie splash Blue is good
So why did I choose this deck for the Regional Qualifiers? I think it is well positioned in the current metagame. Firstly, it has a great matchup again Mono Blue, which just won the Mythic Championship piloted by Autumn Burchett. At the same time, it punishes slow strategies like Esper Control and Nexus decks. Unfortunately, the most popular deck online still is Sultai, a tough matchup for Azorius, but by no means unwinnable. I would even argue that we're only slightly behind in the matchup.
This deck is classic aggro. Filled with one-drops and a very low curve, you want to get ahead on the board from the start and finish the game before it is too late. This deck does the first part very efficiently on its own. Furthermore, this deck can go really wide. Cards like Unbreakable Formation, Benalish Marshal, Venerated Loxodon and Legion's Landing allow you to flood the board with creatures. At the same time, they buff your team to a size that's hard to handle. The weakness of the deck is its lack of reach. Once Azorius Aggro falls behind, it struggles to close out the game. So make sure you mulligan any slow hand, even if contains powerful cards. Throughout the 7 rounds of the online Qualifiers, I mulliganned about 40% of the 7 cards hands.
White Weenie splash Blue
The Azorius Aggro list that qualified me for London
First let's have a look at the decklist.
Azorius Aggro by Martin Dang
|Creatures (26)
4 Dauntless Bodyguard
4 Skymarcher Aspirant
4 Snubhorn Sentry
4 Adanto Vanguard
2 Tithe Taker
4 Benalish Marshal
4 Venerated Loxodon
Spells (14)
4 Legion's Landing
2 Baffling End
1 Unbreakable Formation
4 History of Benalia
3 Conclave Tribunal
|Lands (20)
4 Glacial Fortress
4 Hallowed Fountain
12 Plains
Sideboard (15)
2 Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants
2 Baffling End
3 Negate
4 Tocatli Honor Guard
2 Disdainful Stroke
1 Island
1 Demystify
There's is not much to say about the main deck other than Baffling End have worked wonders. It's effective against most decks in the format. I see many decks play Hunted Witness, but I think the card has too low of an impact. And even though Tithe Taker has proven its worth, I believe it's a mistake to play less than four Adanto Vanguard.
I was very happy with the sideboard in general. However, I might exchange a Negate for another Demystify. The Demystify is great in the mirror, but also good against cards like Wilderness Reclamation, Search for Azcanta and Curious Obsession.
Now that we know the list, let's look at the matchups and how to sideboard.
The Top-Tier Matchups
Sideboarding against Sultai and Mono Blue
Sideboarding against Sultai
|Sideboard Out (6)
3 Conclave Tribunal
1 Unbreakable Formation
2 Skymarcher Aspirant
|Sideboard In (6)
4 Tocatli Honor Guard
2 Baffling End
As mentioned, this matchup is not in your favor, but if you get to Baffling End their Wildgrowth Walker and they don't draw the right sequence of answers, you can clog up the board pretty quickly and overrun them.
After sideboard you have Tocatli Honor Guard to stop their early game, and the matchup becomes more even.
Sideboarding against Mono Blue
|Sideboard Out (3)
1 Unbreakable Formation
2 Conclave Tribunal
|Sideboard In (3)
2 Baffling End
1 Demystify
This is the main reason why I landed on this deck. The matchup is very good and since Mono Blue just won the Mythic Championship, I expect it to rise in popularity.
Mono Blue won't kill you fast and they hardly have any removal or good blockers, so you're mostly free to do your thing. You just need to save your removal for Tempest Djinn or creatures with Curious Obsession. If you do that and remember to play around Merfolk Trickster, your opponent can't race you.
The Slow Matchups
Sideboarding against Nexus and Esper
Sideboarding against Nexus
|Sideboard Out (7)
3 Conclave Tribunal
2 Venerated Loxodon
1 Unbreakable Formation
1 Plains
|Sideboard In (7)
1 Island
3 Negate
2 Disdainful Stroke
1 Demystify
Game 1 seems very favorable for Azorius Aggro since the opponents have very few answers for creatures. They'll hope to play a fast Wilderness Reclamation and combo off, but it will often be too late.
After board they'll most likely board in annoying creatures, but I don't think adding removal is the correct way to go about it. Just stick with the original game plan. Fill up the board and they will struggle to deal with you.
Sideboarding against Esper Control
|Sideboard Out (10)
4 Benalish Marshal
1 Plains
3 Conclave Tribunal
1 Unbreakable Formation
1 Venerated Loxodon
|Sideboard In (10)
2 Disdainful Stroke
3 Negate
1 Island
2 Baffling End
2 Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants
Hyper aggro decks are usually good against hard control in game 1, and this is no exception. Cards like Dauntless Bodyguard, Tithe Taker, Adanto Vanguard, Legion's Landing and Unbreakable Formation make the deck resilient to sweepers. As long as you keep their boardwipes in mind, it should be a piece of cake to steer the deck to victory.
After sideboard it become trickier. They will board in Thief of Sanity and Hostage Taker. There is not much to do about Hostage Taker, other than boarding out the expensive Benalish Marshal. If we fill up the board, it's not that bad if our opponent takes out one creature with Hostage Taker. After all, it will cost them 4 mana during their own turn.
Their greatest threat is Thief of Sanity, which is why we increase our numbers on Baffling End. If it manages to hit you, the game will quickly spin out of control.
The Rest of the Field
Sideboarding against Izzet and the Mirror
Sideboarding against the Mirror
|Sideboard Out (5)
4 Adanto Vanguard
1 Dauntless Bodyguard
|Sideboard In (5)
2 Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants
2 Baffling End
1 Demystify
This matchup is quite interesting even preboard. Try to go wide. Benalish Marshal is often key here. Use your Baffling End and Conclave Tribunal to deal with that and don't waste them on early targets.
Often, you cannot afford to pay 4 life for Adanto Vanguard, so they're out. Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants is great to resurrect creatures you traded off with. The planeswalker forces your opponent to deal with it, before it just makes your creature too big to handle. Often poor attacks are necessary to get rid of Ajani. Demystify is incredibly strong in this matchup to take out Baffling End and give you an instant 3/3. It also deals with Conclave Tribunal and even has another good target in History of Benalia.
Sideboarding against Izzet Phoenix
|Sideboard Out (2)
1 Legion's Landing
1 Unbreakable Formation
|Sideboard In (2)
2 Baffling End
I only played this matchup once, but it seems favorable. Your opponent will use turns to set up their draw. In turn, that gives you time to set up a good board presence. Your opponent has no mass removal in the main deck, so it will be difficult for them to catch up once they fall behind.
Note that this sideboard plan only applies if they play the version with Enigma Drake. If you haven't seen any Enigma Drakes, I would just swap an Unbreakable Formation for a Negate.
Don't Underestimate Diversity
The current Standard format is wide open
I almost choose this deck for the Mythic Championship, but my main worry was the bad matchup against Sultai. However, I underestimated how diverse the Standard format is nowadays. The most popular deck doesn't even represent more than 15% of the total field! Also, I realized the matchup isn't even that bad after I played it quite a few times.
The deck is great, and you should try it out for yourself! If you want some fast matches, and combat math is something you can do, then this strategy is for you.
I am very happy to have qualified for the Mythic Championship in London, so I can help my team forward as we aim for those top prizes. I hope you'll find similar success with this deck.

In scenario you do not recognize a skin-walker is actually a human that is actually able to alter from a human to a critter. What was the animal or critters has never ever been actually discovered. Some individuals have asserted that the creatures or beings being viewed are monster's or wolf males while other individuals create the claim that what is actually being viewed is a skin walker. Besides, you really can not make a mistake with everything that is actually going to make your busts a lot more prominent. The solution is actually NO. But the natural home remedy involving vitamins like night primrose and various other combos of solutions will generate sufficient mucus for sperm to take a trip via. Negative or obviously injurious reviews will certainly certainly not be actually permitted.

While probabilities are that she has ex-spouses that weren't entirely cool from it, she says she is actually dated men that have been "astonishingly supportive as well as understanding" once she was actually straightforward concerning what was actually taking place. Sure, it's still an electronic technique of outdating instead of an actual lifestyle one, however who in fact does that anymore?
Then you remain a costs member forever, it does not run out after time as some internet sites possess with the extra privs genuine investing participants. Tragically for him, there IS an actual individual behind his imagination and sooner or even eventually other individual's demands, asks for and really wants beginning to obstruct his dream planet.

Flirting with a married woman Women, in general, like to be desired and feel attractive, and what easy way to open a cage of possibilities with a married woman other than flirting? If you are a witty guy, make sure you use this to your advantage. Simple: make her feel doubtful about her boyfriend as a partner. How did she kiss back? A little music can help get her in the mood.
Candles are also viewed as romantic and exciting by many. You can probably guess what happened next… Meggy went crawling back to him, sobbing with remorse. Therefore it is one of the best to consider. So what happens is that they tend to jump from one blog to another without really learning anything, much less taking real action from the knowledge that they have acquired. If you are a bit of a shy guy, give the impression that you are confident and together if you want your seduction to come off brilliantly. When used well, your eyes can seductively lure girls and entrap them in your love web.

It gives the perfect fragrance to the wearer and attracts men easily. As he showed me the breakup text on his phone, tears started rolling down his cheeks. Choose a type of music she'd like but also songs that are slow, soothing, and sensual. Be it remembering her favorite wine or asking about her sickly aunt, picking up on the little things and mentioning them scores you massive brownie points. Inside the Shogun Method, this is done using the Black Rose Sequence.
If you have done what I told you correctly, her objections will soon melt like a flake of snow in the morning sun. Segregation also means that if she has a boyfriend, she will be willing to break her ties with him in order to be with you. I had a crush on a guy in my gym, I talked to him a few times, he.

Myron's BBQ&A, Burgers and More!
Doug Mosley
Resident Book Guru
Let the summer begin! Now that we've had that traditional kickoff to summer – I'm referring to the yearly Memphis in May (MIM) World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest – it is time to enjoy what naturally comes with the longer hours of sunshine and warm weather. Which, of course, is cooking barbecue, albeit without a coat and/or gloves on and with plenty of light to see by. So let's touch on a few books to add to your summertime reading list.
Speaking of MIM, a second round of congratulations go out to Tuffy Stone on the incredible double he's now pulled off. In December, his book "Cool Smoke: The Art of Great Barbecue" ($29.99, St. Martin's Press, 288 pp.) was named The National Barbecue News (NBN) Barbecue Book of the Year. Pairing that with his MIM title, he becomes the first to achieve that double which I am sure is right up there in prestige with Brooks Koepka winning the US Open and PGA in the same year, right? (wink wink) If you haven't yet picked up "Cook Smoke", now's the time to get it, knowing it was authored then by a soon-to-be world champion.
Speaking of world champions (I promise the next paragraph won't open this way), Myron Mixon's Jack's Old South team is a four-time winner of the top title at MIM and he bills himself as "the winningest man in barbecue", which based upon those world championships plus another eight team of the year honors, 11 national championships and over 200 grand champions (and counting) would be pretty hard for anyone else to dispute. He is additionally an honored author, having also won the NBN Barbecue Book of the Year Award in 2011 for "Smokin' with Myron Mixon: Recipes Made Simple from the Winningest Man in Barbecue" by Mixon and Kelly Alexander ($22, Ballantine, 192 pp.). That book, his first, was fairly standard when compared to other books in the genre but what set it apart was Mixon's personal style that was on full display throughout – his brashness and confidence that combined with his talents and knowledge sets him apart. He followed up that with another excellent book, "Everyday Barbecue: At Home with America's Favorite Pitmaster" by Mixon and Alexander ($25, Ballantine, 320 pp.) in 2013. With two good books to his name, Mixon had established a solid reputation as an author.
But I suspect that being a "solid" author just didn't sit well enough with Mixon because his next book went in a direction that was entirely different from the first two. His 2016 book,"Myron Mixon's BBQ Rules: The Old-School Guide to Smoking Meat" by Mixon and Alexander ($24.95, Stewart Tabori & Chang, 240 pp.), was without a doubt a significant turn away from the tried-and-true (and stale) formula of barbecue books that go intro-to-techniques-to-recipes-to-close with a few stories and tips thrown in for good measure. This book was without a doubt nothing like that. "BBQ Rules" dovetailed with the title of the TV show on which he's featured and the book likely paralleled that show in bringing out more of Mixon's personal style. That polarized readers, even to the point where it was mildly surprising how many pegged it with less-than-favorable personal reviews in forums and online stores. Honestly though, it shouldn't have been much of a surprise because that's what comes with that "winningest man in barbecue" title – an ample list of haters. The book was truly unique, something that is harder and harder to achieve in this world of copying others success.
So that brings us around to Mixon's latest book, "BBQ&A with Myron Mixon: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Barbecue" by Mixon and Alexander ($29.99, Abrams, 320 pp.). This one is practically like no other as well, with the premise this time basically being a hardbound version of a Reddit AMA (ask me anything). While I'm sure there have been others who've had the idea of doing a book like this, there's really very few who have the chops to pull it off like Mixon does. Further, in a day and time when cookbooks must always be chock full of full-color pictures and detailed illustrations, this one has a few pics and illustrations but is mostly just pages of text. However, one could make the argument that this isn't really a cookbook. Rather, it's a first-person account of competition barbecue with a few recipes and a lot of talk about technique and tips. Frankly that's what makes this a must-read for all of us. While I am sure there are many NBN readers who personally know Mixon and have probably had the chance to ask him many of these very same questions, this book is all of those questions in once place; it is a compendium of what makes Myron Mixon tick, from the written words on the physical pages to the unwritten ones between the lines. You will get a feel for how he thinks about barbecue and what leads him to make the decision he does. And then you'll probably also realize that even with all this knowledge and familiarity, Mixon will still find a way to keep on being "the winningest man in barbecue".
Remember DJ BBQ, aka Christian Stevenson? His first book, "Fire Food: The Ultimate BBQ Cookbook" ($22.99, Quadrille Publishing, 192 pp.) was positively reviewed in these pages about a year ago. Well, DJ BBQ is already back with a new book, "The Burger Book: Banging Burger, Sides and Sauces to Cook Indoors and Out" ($19.99, Quadrille Publishing, 176 pp.).
DJ BBQ is very much a multimedia personality, having developed his persona online with a popular YouTube channel with nearly 180,000 subscribers as of this writing. In his first book he mixed great barbecue with his advanced music knowledge and this time he's done the same with burgers and tunes. There are 40 off-the-wall burger recipes to try out, each of them with one of those lick-the-pages pictures of the finished dish. He also adds a lots of useful info on tips and technique as well. Plus, there's those great songs and albums lists to reference so that you'll be rocking out to the right music for the perfect burger.
Since summertime is here and you'll no doubt be hosting plenty of family/friends/envious neighbors for cookouts, it makes sense to maximize your time at the grill or cooker instead of running back and forth making drinks for everyone. The more well-heeled among you may question this advice and counter that you appoint someone to be the bartender for the evening, but if your friends and family are like my friends and family, there's no way I giving them unfettered access to the liquor cabinet. So here's a book to solve that problem – "Batch Cocktails: Make-Ahead Pitcher Drinks for Every Occasion" by Maggie Hoffman ($19.99, Ten Speed Press, 154 pp.).
There's a lot to choose from here in chapters organized by taste and potency: Herbal & Floral, Fruity & Tart, Spicy, Savory & Smoky, Bitter, Boozy, and Alcohol-Free. There are 65 recipes so the one that best fits your occasion is sure to be within.

|Other Abstract
|With the growing scope of applications for surgical robots, the transfer of planned surgical activities to surgical robots in complex surgical environments, along with the high precision and high stability of the performance of surgical robots in surgical planning, have become crucial and difficult points in the research of surgical robots. Supported by the "Fundamental Problem Study on Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in an Intelligent Surgery Environment", a key project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, this paper adopted an intelligent surgical environment developed by the Shenyang Institution of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a test platform, and conducted in-depth studies focusing on the surgical planning, positioning, and navigation issues of a surgical robot in a complex surgical environment. The goal of this paper was to improve the precision and robustness of surgical robots performing in complex environments. The main content of this paper is as follows. First, the research background of this paper and the current status of surgical robot development were presented, and the hierarchical division and key issues of surgical robots were proposed. To focus on the existing key issues of surgical robots, related research on medical image registration methods and surgical robot navigation methods was introduced, and the scientific issues of surgical robots to be solved were summarized. Second, this paper presented a feature-based different-dimensional multimodal medical image registration optimization algorithm. With regard to different-dimensional multimodal medical image registration, image modality and dimension conversion were first introduced, followed by the commonly used features in image recognition and registration. After establishing an image-registration state space equation, the image registration method based on the extended set-membership filter (ESMF) algorithm was introduced and compared with the EKF- and UKF-based registration optimization algorithms to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of ESMF. The feasibility and effectiveness of the ESMF algorithm were validated in a spine-imaging experiment. Third, a dynamic robot-positioning method based on the ESMF algorithm was described. With regard to dynamic robot positioning, under the requirements of the surgical environment and surgical safety, two methods were presented that combined practical problems that may exist during surgery: the single-sensor target positioning method and the multisensor dynamic target copositioning method. Both methods are based on the ESMF algorithm. The robot control input was further designed according to the ESMF targeting method. The simulation results verified the feasibility of these two algorithms. Comparing the results of the two algorithms showed that the copositioning method was significantly superior. The robot control algorithm, combined with the ESMF target positioning method, significantly improved control precision. Fourth, the high-precision, real-time trajectory planning of a surgical robot based on a velocity field was presented. Compared with traditional trajectory-tracking methods, velocity field control has obvious advantages in minimizing trajectory-tracking errors, better controllability, and more accurate predictability. Under time trajectory tracking conditions, a surgical robot can cause spinal nerve damage owing to perturbations. On the other hand, a velocity field would establish a space-velocity mapping of the surgical robot so that accurate positioning can lead to a more accurate speed. Velocity field control integrated with the ESMF positioning algorithm can improve the control precision of a surgical robot. During the controller design process, a main velocity field from trajectory planning, and an auxiliary protection field to protect the spinal nerves, were built to further ensure safety at the spine. The simulation results showed the effectiveness of the velocity field control algorithm. Finally, a surgery system platform was introduced. Focusing on several key issues in minimally invasive spine surgery, this section proposed a minimally invasive surgical robot system, and constructed a surgery-related operating platform. Staubli Tx60 was defined as the surgical robot in the study. Meanwhile, the OARM image acquisition system (an image registration system for preoperative CT images and intraoperative X-ray images) and a surgical robot navigation system, combined with the NDI Polaris optical positioning system, were introduced. This paper established a state space model based on image registration, improved the precision of image registration by combining it with the ESMF algorithm, proposed a targeting method based on ESMF, adopted single-sensor and multisensor copositioning, suppressed the effect of noise on the positioning process, and enhanced the precision and stability of the positioning. The high-precision, real-time trajectory planning of a surgical robot based on a velocity field was presented. This system integrated a velocity control algorithm on the basis of high-precision positioning, and can be implemented to realize precise and smooth control of the trajectory of a surgical robot.
