When comparing HummingBoard Gate vs Udoo x86 Ultra, the Slant community recommends Udoo x86 Ultra for most people. In the question"What are the best single-board computers?" Udoo x86 Ultra is ranked 9th while HummingBoard Gate is ranked 23rd. The most important reason people chose Udoo x86 Ultra is:
The Ultra version has 8GB of RAM, the Advanced version has 4GB and the basic version has 2GB (which is still more than most SBCs).
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Same software runs on single to quad CPU without any problems
Since the HummingBoard Gate comes with different versions, including different CPU versions, it can also run the same software without any problem on any CPU regardless of the number of cores.
Pro Some models fit inside a Raspberry Pi case
HummingBoard-Pro and HummingBoard-Base fit inside a Raspberry Pi model B case (but be aware that many cases will block the IR).
Pro Extremely extendable
Hummingboard Gate has a native mikroBUS system which lets users attach any "click board" that's compatible with MikroElektronika's system. This way the board can be extended by adding motion sensors, wifi cards, physical buttons, temperature sensors, NFC or Bluetooth and much more.
Pro Can be used as a media streaming device
HummingBoard works really well with Kodi and can be turned into a media streaming device with ease.
Pro Selection of great operating systems
Hummingboard supports OpenELEC 5.0, GeexBox XBMC, Android and Debian officially, but it can also run ArchLinux, openSUSE and Fedora successfully.
Pro Huge amounts of RAM
The Ultra version has 8GB of RAM, the Advanced version has 4GB and the basic version has 2GB (which is still more than most SBCs).
Pro Good wired connectivity
For wired connectivity, the Udoo x86 stands out: It has three USB 3.0 ports, a SATA connector, M.2 slot, microSD slot, Ethernet, HDMI, two DisplayPort connectors, and even an IR RC5 interface. This is on par with what regular desktop computers require.
Pro Capable of running as a day-to-day PC
With 8 GB of RAM and a 2.56 GHz quad-core Intel CPU, the Udoo x86 Ultra is capable of running most applications an average user would need on a daily basis without any particular problems. You can run an office suite, web browser, or an IDE the same way you would in a normal PC. It can also run some PC games such as DotA, League of Legends and Team Fortress 2 on 720p at 20-30 frames per second.
Pro X86-compatible
Very easy to run all operating systems. In terms of Linux or Android internal 32GB can be used as Read Only and additional SATA HDD/SSD/eMMC drive as /tmp and /home directories.
Pro spped networn in thermoplastics DVS Pro Decent graphics Intel HD graphics 405 up to 700 MHz with 16 execution units.
Intel HD graphics 405 up to 700 MHz with 16 execution units.
Pro Best storage capabilities
In terms of storage the Udoo x86 is a clear winner. Out of the box it comes with 32GB eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard, basically a built-in SSD). Then it's fully up to the user to upgrade the storage as they see fit. If you need fast (but expensive) storage—an SSD is the best option. A microSD card can also be used as a storage option.
Pro Can be used as a gaming emulator
Supports almost all retro gaming emulators available for PC so it can be used as a retro gaming emulator. It can also emulate newer consoles like the Playstation 2 and PSP.
Pro Helpful guides and community
Has good guides available online and the community is quite helpful, even if a bit small.
Pro Energy efficient
Even though it sports Quad Core x86 next-gen CPUs made by Intel, it's pretty energy efficient as the complete Udoo board consumes less than 11 watts of energy at any given time.
Pro Decent GPIO suppoort
The Udoo x86 Ultra comes with 28 GPIO ports in total which may seem small, but considering the fact that it has an Arduino 101 embedded inside, it's actually a decent amount. The Arduino board has built-in functionality for what some of the pins would be used (like a six-axis accelerometer and gyroscope) and adds 12 additional GPIO pins. Several key communication protocols are also supported: two IIC, two UART, LPC and SDIO.
Pro Set-up is easy and straightforward
It's absolutely straightforward to set up. The installation guides for all supported operating systems are provided in written and video form.
Pro Arduino compatible
The Udoo x86 comes with an embedded Arduino 101, with all upgrades enabled (including 6-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and Bluetooth).
Pro Great media streaming potential
The relatively high power makes the Udoo x86 Ultra the best single-board computer for high-quality media streaming. It can stream 30Hz 4K video on up to three monitors through HDMI and two mini display ports. This opens the doors for setting up a UHD capable media station. Applications like Netflix, Spotify, Kodi, YouTube, etc. are also supported, as Udoo x86 can run operating systems which support these applications.
Con Pretty expensive
Starting at $70, prices can go up to $235 depending on the model and the components that users choose to add to the board. For these prices it's rather expensive relative to other single board computers.
Con No built-in Wifi for the cheapest version
The cheapest version of the Humingboard Gate doesn't have a built-in Wifi card. You can either buy it separately as an add-on or you can buy a more expensive version of the Humingboard Gate which has a built-in Wifi card.
Con Very expensive for an SBC
It's very expensive though, at least as far as single-board computers go. It's priced at $259.
Con Poor wireless connectivity
The Udoo x86 Ultra does not have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth out of the box. However, it has an M.2 slot where an officially supported antenna module can be mounted. This module provides 803.11n Wireless LAN and 5 GHz Bluetooth 4.2 at for $15. Unfortunately, attaching the antenna will occupy the M.2 slot which could have been used for an SSD instead. Edit: there is 2 M2 slots so you can mount SSD and Bluetooth.
Con Small community
The Udoo x86 community is small as it's just off from the Kickstarter. Not many people have their boards yet, but the fact that Udoo raised over $800,000 at Kickstarter sounds promising. The official forum seems fairly active with an average of 200 views and 5 replies per discussion.
Con The official documentation is lacking
The official documentation available at the official website is lacking. Apart from the hardware specification sheet, there's generally not much information or project examples available for the Udoo x86 at the moment. The users will have a lot of tinkering and hacking to do if they want to achieve any positive results with their projects.
Con It's possible you'll run into problems that haven't been discussed yet
Even through the community is growing, the product is not considered mainstream. When purchasing this SBC, you should be aware that some tinkering will be required. Prolific users will also most likely run into some sort of problem that might not have yet been discussed on official resources.
Con Its price comes close to decently powerful laptop
Con 4K only supports 24 FPS
Only supports HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.1a, so 4K is limited to 24 FPS.
Demanding games are technically supported, but have such a low framerate that they're virtually unplayable.

Abandoned Baby Almost Freezes To Death, Stray Dog Does Something Amazing
When a dog heard the cries of a newborn baby in a field in Argentina, her motherly instincts kicked in.
A resident of La Plata, Argentina, called the police when he heard what sounded like a baby crying in a field near his house. When the man went outside to investigate, what he discovered was incredible; an infant lying next to the dog nestled in with her 6 newborn puppies.
According to police, the newborn was abandoned by a 14-year-old girl only hours after being born.
The dog found the baby after hearing her cries, and carried her over 150 feet back to her own puppies. Doctors say due to the harsh conditions, 37 degrees and windy, the baby, who was only a few hours old, surely would have died if it weren't for the dog.
"The dog is a hero to us."
The baby, despite minor scratches and bruises, is doing well. The teenager has said little about what happened.

Wish Tree
Lots of fabric on my hands, lots of wishes in my mind.
Instinctively I fold, bind, knot, hang, fold, bind, knot, hang...
All the feelings, desires, fears, hopes that goes on inside my head transform into a physical activity, they become visible.
Why do we wish? Even if we don't believe it, even if it feels in childish, even if we find it absurd?
We are constantly collecting wishes and whispering them in the air.
Is this a way to stay hopeful or the proof of our doubts?
"Wish Tree" has been awarded first place in 2016 Istanbul Rotary Art Award Competition and now a part of Istanbul Rotary Club collection.

Accurate timekeeping is undoubtedly one of the top ways to ensure your company's financial health. Small errors, even those that affect several dollars each week, can accumulate into a significant loss in just a few months. Though manual timekeeping has served companies for years, our digital world provides a much more professional and succinct solution to tracking employee compensation.
As an employer, you know the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires you to track how long your hourly employees work and what they earn. How you do it, though, is up to you.
Each method has its share of pitfalls:
Think you don't need automated timekeeping? Think again. But what exactly is it and how can it help your business?
When businesses run afoul of labor provisions, the fines can be sizeable.
Recently, Walt Disney Co. reached an agreement with the Department of Labor (DOL) to pay out $3.8 million to 16,339 employees. The DOL's Wage and Hour Division determined that Florida-based Disney Vacation Club Management Corp. and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S. Inc. failed to observe the the Fair Labor Standards Act overtime, minimum wage and record keeping provisions.
The restaurant industry is known for its high employee turnover rates. According to the National Restaurant Association, "the turnover rate in the hospitality sector topped 70 percent for the second consecutive year" in 2016.
Restaurants aren't the only businesses experiencing high turnover. Industries like tourism, lodging, healthcare and entertainment struggle with high turnover every day. It's difficult to calculate the true cost of turnover, but estimates from the Center for American Progress show that each new employee earning less that $30,000 per year costs around $4000 to replace. Management positions can cost more than double that amount. Is there a solution?
As employers, we like to think we can trust our staff members. Without trust, not much can be achieved, but there are a couple of areas that provide an easy opportunity for your employees to take advantage if you aren't watching cautiously, and it can cost you thousands.
In a survey of over 500 retail and service industry workers, over 30 percent admitted to flagrant time theft.1 Workers specifically mentioned using buddy punching and clock creep to steal time. You may already know what these are, but it's worth a review and a look at what you can do about them.
You've probably heard a lot lately about the FLSA rule changes. I know we've blogged about it (along with many others). We've also heard that the rule changes are confusing. So - we're setting out to set the record straight, along with a few survival tips, so we're all ready on December 1st.
What It Is:
As we said, the Department of Labor (DOL) recently unveiled the newest addition to the Fair Labor Standards Act, a law that has been updated multiple times over the last several decades. With the new rule, the DOL raises the minimum salary threshold for overtime exempt workers within companies with over $500,000 in annual revenue. The two main types of salaries are:
Although many employees believe they belong to the first group, salary exempt, a lot fall under the salary non-exempt category. This is usually because they do not fall under the true definition of a manager (see the What It Boils Down To section below).
You've probably heard about the recent changes to the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act). As Forbes puts it, these changes will make millions more employees eligible for overtime while making compliance more challenging for business leaders. This new rule is just one reason you should be thinking about automated timekeeping and scheduling.

About Solar PV
The term 'solar panel' is often used interchangeably to describe the panels that generate electricity and those that generate hot water.
Solar panels that produce hot water are known as solar thermal collectors or solar hot water collectors.
Solar panels that produce electricity are known as solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. These panels generate DC electricity when exposed to light.
Solar PV is the rooftop solar you see on homes and businesses. PV or photovoltaic solar panels turn daylight into free electricity and provide you with free energy and free electricity to power your TV, kettle, toaster, phone charger, radio, oven and so on.
A domestic solar PV system consists of a number of solar panels mounted to your roof (or in your garden) and connected into the electrical loads within your building.
The solar panels generate DC (direct current – like a battery) electricity, which is then converted in an inverter to AC (alternating current – like the electricity in your domestic socket). Solar PV systems are rated in kilowatts (kW). A 1kW solar PV system would require 3 or 4 solar panels on your roof.
Any excess electricity produced can be stored in a battery, or other storage solution like your hot water immersion tank. It can also be exported from your house into the electrical network on your street.

For you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:9, NIV)
The only way for us to be forgiven for our sins and to be saved is to believe in Jesus Christ. Acts 16:31 says, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your household will be saved," which is the heart of the gospel, the merciful covenant of God toward us, and the promise of eternal happiness. By being saved from the fearful judgment of God, we can walk the path of blessing. It does not matter who we were and what sins we committed in the past. God's passion to save us is much bigger and greater than our sin. With the passion for us, God has crucified His only begotten Son, Jesus, instead of us. Now, all we have to do is to believe in Jesus who died for us. By doing that, we can become the new self by being forgiven of our sins and saved. Then, our minds and all behaviors will also change.
First Peter 1:9 says that the goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls.
Even though we could enjoy everything we want in the world, it is of no use if our souls are not saved. On the contrary, our lives will be successful if our souls are saved and we get eternal life, although we do not get what we want in the world.
Therefore, our goal must be to gain eternal life. There is no precious value in the future more than eternal life, which can only be obtained only through Jesus Christ. Some people may say that their good deeds will save them without faith in Jesus. However, their thought is to ignore Jesus's crucifixion for us. God has never given us another way to salvation other than Jesus. No one can save him- or herself without following the way of the Lord, who judges our sin and has the authority to forgive it. Romans 5:1 makes it clear by saying, "Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Therefore, we cannot come to the Lord just with our own good deeds or justice.
Figure 13. Real Value of Faith
Faith can also heal our illness. The most important works Jesus did during his three-year public life were preaching the gospel and healing people. In the meantime, the words that often appear in the Bible every time Jesus healed people are "saw their faith". One officer of an army was introduced in Matthew 8. He had heard a rumor that Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom and healed the sick. One day, one of his servants was paralyzed, and he heard that Jesus was coming to the town where he was living. So, he immediately came to Jesus and he talked about his servant and asked Jesus for help. Jesus replied that He would go and heal the servant. Then, the officer felt he did not deserve to have the Most High Jesus come to his house to fix one of his servants. He said, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it. Just say the word, and my servant will get better." Hearing this, Jesus was astonished at his faith and praised him that Jesus had not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. Jesus said to the officer in a gentle tone, "Go, and it will be done just as you believed it would."
The behavior of the officer gives us the great lessons. First, he never saw Jesus until Jesus came to his town, but he believed that Jesus was the Most High Lord when he heard about Jesus. Second, he believed in Jesus's power. The officer believed that his servant would recover with only Jesus's one word. Third, he was humble before Jesus. He considerably lowered himself when he saw Jesus, and he confessed that Jesus was so high and noble that he did not even deserve to invite Him into his house. Finally, he came to Jesus and asked for help for the sickness of his servant, not for himself. He loved and served his subordinates and believed in the power of prayer for others. His great faith pleased Jesus. Thus, Jesus worked by his faith. Faith has the great power to please God and make Him work. In the Bible, many people showed various forms of faith like this officer did, and Jesus healed all their sicknesses following their faith.
The opposite story, however, is introduced in the early part of Mark 6. When Jesus returned to His hometown and preached the gospel, the local people rejected Jesus. So, Jesus could not perform any power there because they did not respond by faith. Jesus wondered about their lack of faith. The Lord works and does miracles according to our faith. The kind of disease is not important. Our faith is more important. James 5:15 says that the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them. Moreover, they will be forgiven if they have sinned. Therefore, faith brings about miracles of salvation, healing, and forgiveness.
Faith frees us infinitely.
It is like walking between one cliff and another. When you believe and step forward one step, although you cannot see anything with your eyes, one stepping stone appears, and again and again. In Matthew 21:21–22, Jesus said that if you have faith and do not doubt, you can say to the mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and it will be done. The phrase "throw the mountain into the sea" was a proverb at the time, which means there is nothing impossible by faith. God will surely respond with the best things to those who ask by faith.
Why is faith so important? It is like we finally found our father, long after we did not know who our father was. From the perspective of the Lord, it is like a shepherd found the sheep that he had lost. How happy will the father be when he finds the child he has lost? Jesus said in Luke 15:7 that there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. The Lord still loves His children, even when they do not know Him. He opens the way to salvation and awaits them.
To return to God by believing in Jesus also means the relationship recovery with the Father. Galatians 3:26 records that we are all God's children through faith in Christ Jesus. When God is our Father and we are His children, we can receive the care and blessings of God and inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Faith is to believe that Jesus is the Son of God and He was crucified on our behalf. By faith, we are called the righteous and become His children because our sins are forgiven. Then, the Lord is in us, and we are in Him. Believing in Jesus also means believing in God. In John 12:44, Jesus said that when you believe in Jesus, you do not believe in Him only, but in the one who sent Him. This leads us to believe that God created the world and all things.
Furthermore, faith means that we are conscious that God is alive and He is always with us. There is nothing to fear in the world when we know that the Almighty God is our Father and He walks with us and helps us. What can the world do to us if the mighty God is with us? We must be brave by knowing God is with us. We must be filled with the confidence that we can do anything in the Lord. Hebrews 11:6 says that it is impossible to please God without faith. Fear comes from less trusting in God. Let's take an example. One student asked a well-known mathematical professor at a prestigious university to solve a problem at a high school level. However, the student doubted whether the professor could solve the problem because he thought that he could not solve it with his all efforts. The student soon left the professor in order to find another way, even before he heard the answer. How uncomfortable did the professor feel at the student's attitude? From such a viewpoint, how disrespectful is our distrust of the Almighty Lord? Therefore, we must believe that God exists and He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
We can please God by faith, and we receive His help. If so, how can we strengthen our faith? People's faiths are all different, just as our faces are all different. The Bible tells us that we should not ignore him or be arrogant if someone else's faith seems smaller than ours. Also, it advises that we do not overestimate our faith, but rather think of ourselves with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given us. Therefore, it is of great value that we try to grow our faith so that we can benefit from all things and live confidently.
First, in order to grow our faith, we must read the Bible. Romans 10:17 states that faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through Jesus's words. The Bible is God-breathed, and it is living and active so that it is significantly beneficial to our spirit and hearts.
Second, we must ask the Lord for faith, He who abundantly supplies whatever it is. In Mark 9, one father brought his child to Jesus. The child was possessed by a demon and became dumb. He said, "Take pity on us and help us if you can do anything." Jesus rebuked him for saying "if you can." Jesus said, "Everything is possible for him who believes." He immediately cried out and asked to overcome his unbelief. At last, his son was healed. Like this, if we acknowledge the lack of our faith and ask for it, God will surely fill our faith in His way.
Finally, we can become stronger through the experiences the Lord has helped. It was not in a single day that David bravely confronted Goliath and knocked him down simply by throwing a stone. When David took care of his father's sheep, a lion or a bear often came and carried off a sheep from the flock. David went after it and rescued the sheep from its mouth every time. When the beast turned on him, he seized it by its hair, struck and killed it. Fighting with those wild and fast beasts, David became not only nimble but also bolder. Also, every time he survived a battle with a beast, he realized that the Lord was with him. God knew what David would confront, so He made him prepare for it with hard training. David had experienced God's protection from the beasts, so he firmly believed God would always be with him. Therefore, David did not consider the giant Goliath a fearful opponent, because he was already prepared through those experiences.

Where can you find the most advanced computer technology in the world? It used to be found in research laboratories or corporate data-centres. But it can now be found in millions of living rooms, inside video-games consoles. Every five years or so a trio of new consoles emerges to do battle in the marketplace. In the last round Sony's PlayStation 2 triumphed over Nintendo's GameCube and Microsoft's Xbox. The newest round, which opened with the launch of Microsoft's Xbox 360 in November 2005, begins in earnest during 2006, as Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Revolution join the fray.
What was once an obscure, geeky pastime has become an increasingly important part of the entertainment industry. Sales of games software, at around $20 billion a year, now exceed Hollywood box-office revenues, as the industry never tires of pointing out. But, unlike watching films, gaming is still far from universal: although half of Americans, for example, play computer or video games, that means half of them do not. So the industry is doing its best to reach beyond its core constituency of young males, and to encourage more women and older people to give gaming a try.
One way to make gaming more accessible is to replace the traditional joypad, with its baffling array of buttons and joysticks, with a less intimidating form of controller. This has already given rise to singing games that use microphones as the input device, dancing and fighting games that use cameras, and even games that use bongo drums to control the on-screen action. More of the same can be expected with the new consoles. In particular, Nintendo's Revolution will have an unusual new kind of controller that is intended to be both less off-putting for novices and more versatile for experienced gamers.
People who object to complicated controls may also prefer less complex games: simple puzzle and card games, for example, are popular on mobile phones and on the web, where they are played by people who would not dream of buying a games console. Modern console games, which can take dozens of hours to complete, require too great a commitment for many people, says Ross Rubin of NPD, a market-research firm. Accordingly, Nintendo has said that its Revolution console will be able to play the company's entire back-catalogue of games, in an attempt to draw in casual gamers and non-gamers who find modern titles too intimidating. The runaway success of Nintendogs, a virtual-pet game that runs on Nintendo's touchscreen handheld console, the DS, suggests that novel input devices plus simple games can indeed broaden gaming's appeal.
Games get real
Another aspect of the new consoles that some believe could make them more attractive to non-gamers is their unprecedented performance, which will make possible near-photographic realism. (Images from one Xbox 360 game that were posted on the web in June 2005 looked so realistic that they were denounced as fakes.) This could result in cinematic games with the expressive power of films. "The driver is emotion," says Gerhard Florin of Electronic Arts, the world's biggest games publisher. "Interactive movies will attract more women and older people." The industry will also place an ever-greater emphasis on cinematic games based on film franchises, such as James Bond and Spider-Man, predicts Paul Jackson of Forrester, a consultancy. Casual gamers, who play for an hour or two here and there, "are drawn in by franchises", he says, and the new consoles' power means that the games really will look just like the films on which they are based.
If you are not already a gamer, the industry will be doing everything it can to change your mind
While Nintendo is concentrating on new controllers and simpler games, and Sony is emphasising the realism made possible by the raw power of its PlayStation 3 console, Microsoft has been innovating in a different area: marketing. It launched the Xbox 360 on MTV, rather than unveiling it at a trade show, in order to reach out beyond the core community of gamers who read gaming websites and magazines. It has also struck a co-marketing deal with Samsung, so that Xbox 360s will be connected to Samsung's high-definition televisions in big stores, where they will be seen (and, Microsoft hopes, bought) by people who would not normally go anywhere near the gaming aisles.
Will these various attempts to broaden gaming's appeal pay off? Dmitri Williams, a researcher at the University of Illinois, is unimpressed. "Expanding the market won't happen through technology," he says. Games publishers need to hire more women and to produce more games with broad appeal beyond the traditional young, male audience, he says. Mr Florin admits that there is plenty of scope for making games that appeal more to female players and concedes that some people, particularly the elderly, are unlikely ever to pick up a joypad (though that has not stopped Nintendo from launching a series of games aimed at the elderly). But he is optimistic that the new consoles will make possible new kinds of games, with broader appeal.
So in prospect are a greater diversity of controllers, more accessible games for casual gamers, a lot of film tie-ins, stunning high-definition graphics—and an inescapable barrage of marketing. In short, if you are not already a gamer, the industry will be doing everything it can to change your mind.

Moneyball | Review
By Linc Leifeste | September 22, 2011
Director: Bennett Miller
Writers: Steven Zaillian (screenplay), Aaron Sorkin (screenplay), Stan Chervin (story), Michael Lewis (book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game")
Starring: Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, Chris Pratt, Stephen Bishop, Ken Medlock, Brent Jennings, Kerris Dorsey
Disclaimer: Despite becoming a bigger and bigger fan of the sport of baseball over time and numerous recommendations over the years, I have never read Michael Lewis' acclaimed 2003 book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game and am therefore unable to speak about how true the film is to the book. That said, I was able to enter the theater without preconceived notions or expectations and can say that Moneyball is one of my favorite movies of 2011.
Moneyball is based on the true story of how Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) bucked the system to field a competitive ballclub on a relatively miniscule operating budget. It struck a nerve with me in these trying times, with America's fiscal woes combined with an apparent unwillingness to think outside of the box and take bold, decisive action. For those that don't know, Major League Baseball doesn't have a salary cap to help even the playing field, thus allowing team owners with deeper pockets to outspend less wealthy owners and stock their clubs with marquee players. This, in part, helps explain the recurring greatness you see in a team like the New York Yankees and the continual struggles of teams like the Oakland Athletics. Much like in life, there are the have's and there are the have-not's and they have to compete on the same playing field, fair or not.
The film opens with the tail-end of Oakland's 2001 season, with the A's playing the proverbial "David" to the New York Yankees' "Goliath", seeing a 2-0 game lead in the American League Division Series evaporate with three straight losses. Adding insult to injury, big-market teams such as the Yankees and Red Sox immediately swoop in after the season ends and nab the A's few star players. GM Beane initially reacts conventionally, heading to the A's owner to unsuccessfully ask for more money and then moving on to try to make some beneficial trades with other MLB teams to prepare for the 2002 season. While meeting with the Cleveland Indian brass, every trade he attempts is shot down based on the whispered advice of an unknown young man. Frustrated and intrigued, Beane seeks him out and finds this young man to be recent Yale graduate and economics major Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a disciple of at that time cutting edge sabermetrics, the objective analysis of baseball performance through key statistics, as espoused by obsessive baseball fan, statistician and writer, Bill James.
After interrogating Brand on his reasoning, Beane soon offers him a job with the A's and makes him the assistant manager. This youngster's newfound position of trust with GM Beane doesn't sit well with the A's large scouting staff, made up of crusty old baseball veterans who are operating on old-school ideas and experiences. Brand's analytical and statistical analysis of player's performances (and resulting monetary value), all derived through complex formulas processed via computer, doesn't jive with the older scouts' sense of gut instinct and experiential wisdom. And while not a theme that was delved into, I found myself somewhat sympathetic to the older scouts' painful John Henry-like marginalization when confronted with the steam-engine like efficiency of computer-crunched stats.
Neither does A's manager Art Howe (Philip Seymour Hoffman) appreciate Beane's new direction or his heavy-handed advice on managing the day to day games. One of the great joys of the movie is watching confident Beane and introverted novice Brand interact with each other and with the baseball establishment. Beane ultimately perserveres despite career-risking initial failures and finds success. That said, for those who don't know, I won't give away how the 2002 season ultimately plays out for Beane and the Oakland Athletics.
While the film doesn't give a lot of detail on Beane's personal life, allowing only small glimpses into his relationships with ex-wife Sharon (Robin Wright) and daughter Casey (Kerris Dorsey), it does provide bit by bit the back-story of Beane's personal experience as a baseball player, his failed MLB career and the impact that had on his professional life. Pitt's restrained but forceful performance makes it hard not to feel invested in his character's success or failure. As well I appreciated the absence of a forced Hollywood romance angle and got the sense that Beane's dogged devotion to his professional endeavors probably didn't leave much time or energy for a dynamic personal life.
Baseball fans, you'll love this movie. For me, a Texas Rangers fan, it was a thrill to see Ron Washington (Brent Jennings) portrayed on the big screen and to recognize former Ranger Royce Clayton in his small role as Miguel Tejada. But for those who don't consider themselves fans of America's pastime, this movie offers much more. Despite its focus on statistics and sabermetrics it's ultimately a beautifully told human story of perseverance against great odds, of following through on your convictions, of outsiders successfully taking on the establishment, all presented intelligently and free of tired cliches.

Sweet Satsumas Continue To Arrive
The boxes of sweet Satsumas continue to arrive at Earl's from Side Hill Citrus in Lincoln, California. I find myself buying boxes for myself, my family and friends. I plan to make Satsuma-Cello this weekend, Satsuma peels steeped in Vodka for a week and a festive holiday Satsuma Vodka cocktail for my holiday party. Satsumas picked early on in the season have more acidity, but as they ripen over a week the acidity mellows and they are more delicious! The skin will start to tighten up and look dried out but don't worry! This just means they are sweeter so get your daily dose of vitamin C and enjoy them now before they disappear faster than Santa's sleigh.

David De Gea was simply stunning in the second half as Manchester United continued their stellar run in the Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. The Spaniard made some extraordinary saves in the final 45 minutes of the game to leave fans and players spellbound with his impeccable goal guarding prowess.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continued his perfect start as the caretaker manager of the Red Devils as he recorded a sixth straight win across competitions to script history. Against Spurs, United were expected to face their first real test of the Solskjaer reign and they flourished in flying colours clinching all three points at the Wembley.
Marcus Rashford fired home with a sublime finish after Paul Pogba picked him with a brilliant pass. United ended the first half leading 1-0 but Spurs pressed higher in the second half and had more chances. However, whatever came De Gea's way was brilliantly blocked by the 'superhuman' United keeper, who had an amazing day between the sticks.
De Gea's stunning display saw him earn praise from fans across the world including veteran Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who was left in awe of the Spaniard after watching him make a stunning eleven saves in the game.
"How good is he ? @D_DeGea unbelievable goal keeping ! Go @ManUtd," tweeted Yuvraj, who is a huge Manchester United fan himself.
United's defence was tested by Spurs in the second half but De Gea ensured the Red Devils took all three points home from Wembley. The victory meant Solskjaer became the first-ever United manager to win his first six games in charge. Manchester United are placed sixth in the Premier League table levelled on points with Arsenal with 41 points from 22 games.
Meanwhile, Yuvraj on the personal front is plying his trade for Punjab in the ongoing Ranji Trophy.

Tales of Zestiria the X Episode 16: Let's put Rose in a dress
Published on January 30, 2017
So, next week we're done with Rose? To the anime's credit, they're at least making her seem more like an actual character in the story, there to play off Sorey, rather than a heroine shoe-horned into replace Alisha. Anyway, I don't really have too many comments on the moral issue of whether there can be justice attained through killing.
I'm pretty annoyed with the cliffhanger at the end. Given that Rose missed a vital point on the helpless target and the fact that Sorey is pushing so hard to stop her from killing, it feels like they're strongly suggesting that Rose doesn't end up killing the target. Of course, this makes no real sense because she's had no real problem killing up to this point and this person is, probably, the person who most deserves to die in her eyes.
I didn't know Rose had a costume like this. They really want us to like Rose.
Ohh...it's all a dream.
Wait...didn't Dezel already explain this? How dense are these guys?
If I remember correctly, there's another reason why Dezel hangs around Rose in the game, so I'm guessing this is just the characters' way of suggesting that. It's pretty awkward, though, since it doesn't make sense given the information they already have.
Mikleo and Edna are such good friends.
Oh, Dezel just told them. Kinda makes Sorey and Mikleo's secret meetings seem a bit pointless.
I never got too much further in the game, but I'm guessing this setup is specific to the anime, where Dezel and Rose are bringing more of the dark side of justice to the team. It doesn't seem like a bad dynamic...
Wait...I thought Dezel's revenge plot was supposed to be something different. Are they removing his revenge plot from the game to align him with Rose? If that's the case, then he may really not have...the same progression as he did in the game.
Elixirs are like narcotics? That completely changes the way I think about the item in the game.
It was about midday when Mikleo left to meet up with Sorey, right? It's already dusk now, so how the heck will Sorey make it back in time? He first has to reach the point where Mikleo split off and then make up the remaining distance that they traveled after that. But I guess the plot demands that he make it in time...
I'm with you, Rose. How the heck did he survive that? Is the show trying to tell me "oh Rose missed the vital point because she was thinking about Brad"?
...Dezel kinda has a point.
Haha well, that makes me feel better after watching that episode ending. Yeah, that's totally how I cook...got my good buddy, the water seraph to help out.
NightswornJan. 30, 2017, 5:09 p.m.
No Berseria arc yet... D:
marthaurionJan. 30, 2017, 5:46 p.m.
but we have to finish Rose first D:
KarandiJan. 31, 2017, 2:10 a.m.
I liked that they felt we needed a recipe for shaved ice. And yeah, I'll totally just get a seraph to help out because that's a logical step. But I really do love these skits and they do make me hang around after the credits each week.
Yeah, Rose not killing the guy just makes no sense. He was pretty much defenceless and she's pretty much been established as an unstoppable assassin. Oh well, narrative convenience strikes again.
marthaurionJan. 31, 2017, 7 a.m.
i cant imagine another way to do it...
my other thought on that was that konan wasnt human, which would explain why he survived the first strike...but he didnt really show any outward signs of malevolence. i dont think this scene happened at all in the game
KarandiFeb. 1, 2017, 3 a.m.
I was wondering if he was going to be superhuman or something but then he just kind of runs away and not very effectively so I'm thinking Rose just stuffed it, which makes no sense.
marthaurionFeb. 1, 2017, 6:27 a.m.
yeah, i dunno if i like either option

After some three and a half years of global carnage on a scale never seen before in history, World War One was still in the balance, and would go through one more tremendous convulsion of death and horror before it finally ran its course.
On 21 March 1918 the German Army launched a massive series of attacks along the Western Front – the famous Operation Michael that was designed to finally overcome British and French resistance and bring a quick victory to the Kaiser. The German forces were heavily bolstered by the return of large numbers of troops from the Eastern front following Russian withdrawal from the war in late 1917 and these extra troops were immediately thrown into battle.
Michael was one of four large attacks, later named the Spring Offensive that produced spectacular advances in the first four weeks or so and threatened to trigger the Allied collapse the Germans were hoping for.
The timing of the Spring Offensive was vital. The formal entry of the United States into World War One had begun on April 6 1917, but because of the state of preparedness of the US Army at the time, there was a considerable delay before large numbers of fully equipped US troops were able to reach the battlefield. The Germans, fully aware of the devastating impact that this would have, attempted a quick victory before the American presence was fully realised.
The Spring Offensive got off to a great start for Germany – the Western Front was pushed back up to 60 km in some areas – representing the biggest Allied retreats seen since the beginning of the War. But the impetus of the attacks could not be maintained with dwindling food and ammunition supplies gradually weakening the advance, and the once mighty German Army slowly ground to a halt. It had suffered more than half a million casualties in a little more than three months and by early August had lost the ability to launch a major attack.
The Allies, also suffering heavy casualties during this time, were more resilient, massively assisted by the increased manpower and industrial might of the United States that grew stronger by the day. The Allied Supreme Commander Ferdinand Foch ordered a counter-offensive on 18 July, and a massed allied force, consisting of French, British and US troops and supported by several hundred tanks smashed the German positions along the River Marne. It was from this point onwards that the pendulum swung decisively in favour of the Allies, who began an inexorable advance towards Germany itself. The so-called "Hundred Days Offensive" began on the 8th August – a rapid series of Allied attacks that eventually led to the end of the War.
The last military resort for Germany was the formidable Hindenburg Line, designed to form an impregnable defence against advancing enemy forces. The Hindenburg Line was named by the British after the German Commander in Chief, Paul von Hindenburg, but was known to the Germans as the Siegfried Line.
It consisted of six defensive lines that extended from the north coast of France to Verdun, running roughly parallel with the Belgian border and had been largely completed by late 1916. It was a zone more than 5 kilometers deep, heavily fortified with barbed wire and concrete gun emplacements.
This was attacked in force by Allied troops in late September with massed assaults by French, Australian, British and US forces. A colossal artillery barrage preceded the infantry with a gigantic bombardment firing over a million shells at the German defences. On September 29, after 4 days of intense fighting, the Hindenburg Line was breached with the Germans forced to retreat en masse.
The social structure of the German Empire also began to collapse at an increasing rate, with acute food shortages leading to mass starvation in German cities. There was mounting civilian agitation to end the war and on September 29 the German High Command sought an Armistice from the Allies – but this was refused.
Four days later, German sailors at the naval base at Kiel openly refused an order to engage with the Allied Fleet and mutinied – and this helped trigger a much wider movement of dissent that eventually became known as the German Revolution. The Kaiser abdicated on 9 November, and the Germans were forced to finally surrender.
On 11 November at 5 am an Armistice was signed between Germany and the Allied Forces with the formalities taking place in a railroad carriage at Compiègne in northern France. It was agreed that a formal end to the war would take place at 11 am – but in the 6 hours between the signing of the document and the actual ceasefire, fighting continued along the Western Front, with both sides trying to improve their territorial position before the end of hostilities. The last man to die in the war was the American soldier Henry Nicholas Gunther, who was shot dead by machine gun fire at 1059 am, in the last minute of the war.
The "Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month became famous in history as the time that the guns fell silent and the "war to end all wars" was finally over.
The British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George remarked, later on the same day
"At eleven o'clock this morning came to an end the cruellest and most terrible War that has ever scourged mankind. I hope we may say that thus, this fateful morning, came to an end all wars."

Pouring rain….
This is my next edition to my story for July 11th…
Hello everyone. Wednesday was really hot here in my corner of the world. I hope that all of you had somewhere safe, and out of the heat to hide out in. I stayed inside most of the day, and as the sun was going down I ventured outside to sit. I hope those that work in factories, plants, or whatever you may call them. I hope they have ample air conditioning. The work and safety board, I believe has set a temperature that is the max it has to be set at in most places. The temperature they have chosen for factories is way too low to help beat the heat. Sure there are fans used to blow the hot air around, which I believe that is futile.. My son works in a place that only has air conditioning in the lunchroom. WOW!! He said where he works it was 42 degrees Celsius. That should be against the law.. The company should be fine by the law for not providing a safe temperature to work in… I recall a man that died in a bakery a few years back and the temperature there was 44 degrees Celsius. He Died in that heat.. I hope all of you are keeping cool and drinking lots of water.. If you feel dizzy, or faint get help right away… Till tomorrow… Be safe… 🙂 🙂
MAGS. Thanks for stopping by…. 🙂 🙂

Reimagining how we live and get around in the era of climate change
CALPIRG endorsed SB 50 by Senator Scott Wiener today, the MORE Homes Act, which would enable more housing to be built near existing public transit and job centers. Here's an excerpt from the support letter we sent to Senator Scott Wiener today, co-signed by Environment California:
As you know, we are already experiencing the effects of climate change via more intense wildfires, drought, sea level rise and the worst air quality in the country. While it is true that California has been a world leader on pushing for solutions, we still have a long way to go to get off fossil fuels, but we must do so as quickly as possible. We recognize that our way of life will be very different for future generations if we fail to act.
At the same time as we figure out how to get off fossil fuels and adapt to the effects of climate change, California is grappling with high demand and skyrocketing housing costs in many parts of the state that are also the biggest job centers. According to state housing officials, California needs180,000 new housing units per year to meet current demand, and we are building fewer than 80,000 annually on average.
How and where we build more housing has vast consequences on our environment, public health, and quality of life. The more we push people away from job centers and public transportation options, the harder it will be to reduce global warming pollution. Right now the number of "supercommuters" traveling hours to and from work each day is on the rise. More than 500,000 workers in the state have one-way commutes of more than 90 minutes, according to census data. Private passenger vehicles currently account for a full 28 percent—the largest single chunk—of California's greenhouse gas emissions. This is not sustainable.

Please fill out the Wintersession Housing form.
Additional information for Wintersession 2020 is available here.
Please review
MTWThF 9:00-2:00 p.m. class
2:00-2:30 p.m. office hours
Learn one semester of Russian in three weeks and jumpstart your study of Russian language!
About the course:
Wintersession Russian 101 covers exactly the same material -- classwork, homework, quizzes, exams -- as fall-semester Russian 101. The Wintersession course takes fourteen days to cover as much material as the fall-semester course covers in thirteen weeks. This means that attendance is crucial; more than one absence means that you will have a very difficult time catching up. We are together five hours a day, and you should expect to spend around three to four hours per evening doing your homework. In other words, you need to commit about forty hours per week -- the equivalent of a full-time job -- to Wintersession Russian.
Textbooks and prepration:
The textbooks for the course are available at the Wellesley College Bookstore by 1 December. We strongly suggest that you purchase the books before going away for the holidays. Before coming to our first class session, you must have the entire Russian alphabet memorized and must be able to write all the letters of the Russian alphabet relatively easily. What this means is that you should be able to see a printed Russian letter and instantly pronounce it more or less correctly, and that you should be able to sound out simple, printed Russian words with some difficulty. You do not have to memorize the names of the letters, or the order in which they appear in the Russian alphabet; We will do this with you in class, starting on the first day. For help with handwriting cyrillic letters, download the crucial Powerpoint file"Russian_handwriting.ppt" here or by clicking the "Syllabus" link in the left navigation bar.

I get a fair amount of calls from people who are either arrested or given a summons for possession of marijuana. Many times on those calls I get a potential client on the other line expressing disbelief that marijuana possession is still illegal in Louisiana or expressing to me a desire to "fight" their case simply because it involves possession of marijuana.
Don't get me wrong –some possession of marijuana cases are triable cases and many involve potential suppression issues of said marijuana or a confession. Some simple marijuana possession cases are "not triable" in the sense that I do not believe there is a good chance of success at trial. All possession of marijuana cases have little (if anything) to do with whether marijuana is or should be legal in this state.
This is because, contrary to popular belief, marijuana is still illegal in Louisiana. First offense simple possession of marijuana carries a potential fine and up to fifteen days in the parish prison. Second offense simple possession carries a potential of up to six months in the parish prison. Third offense simple possession and beyond are felonies (0-2 for a third offense and 0-8 for a fourth or subsequent offense). Of course, distribution or possession with the intent to distribute is still a felony punishable by 1-10 years.
These penalties are much reduced since I began practicing. If I remember correctly, the penalties were reduced prior to the 2017 legislative session, i.e. the legislative session that produced the bulk of Louisiana's recent criminal justice reform bills. When I began practicing, first offense possession was a misdemeanor and second or subsequent offenses were felonies, which resulted in many non-violent marijuana possessors being sent to prison.
I believe that within a decade, marijuana will be legal in most states, if not across the country. I also beleieve that this is as it should be. Until it is legal in Louisiana, simple possession of marijuana arrests and/or citations will continue to be a big deal to residents. If you have been arrested and/or given a summons for marijuana possession (or any other crime for that matter), give the Law Office of Alex Kriksciun a call today!

Luxury shoppers increasingly shop used, CPO vehicles [1]
While recent research data concerning luxury shopper behavior shows that almost 40 percent of luxury owners are less likely to purchase a used car than mass-market owners, a growing number of shoppers in this audience are increasingly cross-shopping used and certified pre-owned vehicles.
Amid the rise of off-lease vehicles which continue to enhance the used-car population, CPOs have become a progressively more attractive option for car buyers, according to data from Jumpstart Automotive Media 's eighth annual Insights Book.
Luxury owners who research and consider non-luxury vehicles grew from 10 percent in 2016 to 13 percent last year. A growing number of luxury owners cross-shopping used options illustrates a widening appeal for used cars among luxury owners.
"Luxury shoppers, in particular, are placing increased focus on brand experience and innovation when shopping for their next vehicle," Jumpstart's marketing and strategic insights vice president Libby Murad-Patel said in a news release.
"That being said, we're seeing a healthy amount of cross-shopping between luxury brands, as well as luxury shoppers looking at CPO or used vehicles (plus 36-percent in 2017) and at the same time loyalty is a challenge for all automakers."
When communicating with car buyers, automotive marketers can highlight a CPO vehicle's unique values to address the challenge, she went on to explain.
"This presents a great opportunity for marketers in placing greater emphasis on a vehicle's unique values while addressing quality, longevity, versatility and maintenance concerns up front," Murad-Patel said.
Elsewhere in the study, Jumpstart data focused on luxury shopper behavior alone, suggests that dealers can obtain a better return on a luxury purchase considering their owners are more likely to come back.
Because most luxury-vehicle owners have their cars serviced at the dealership, selling to more luxury buyers can potentially lead to added service department traffic. According to Jumpstart, three out of four of luxury owners use the dealership for service and 34 percent of all shoppers are researching luxury vehicles on its sites.

I broke the no contact rule with my ex by begging him to which of course he said no and in an week I was invited to a party to my former work place (he still works there).Should i go to this event knowing he will be there especially after i made a fool out of myself by begging him to get back together?
I don't want him to think I am going there only to see him and that this is a way of stalking him or making him take me back but also I want to enjoy seeing my old colleagues with which I stayed in contact after I left my workplace.
LordRARParticipantDecember 6, 2018 at 6:07 pm #190650
Honestly, I would not attend. However, if you do attend, make sure you do everything in your power to present yourself as being there in no relation to him. In other words, have a fun time with friends but not make contact with him, be around him, or even allow yourself to be near him.
FuarkParticipantDecember 18, 2018 at 8:49 am #191236
Is the only reason to go there because ur ex is there? Then I would say no. If you just wanna have fun then go for it.
dashingscorpioParticipantDecember 19, 2018 at 9:53 pm #191439
I noticed you saved this statement for last.
"I want to enjoy seeing my old colleagues with which I stayed in contact after I left my workplace."
Truth is you can see your colleagues at happy hour or meet up together at other times.
You should skip the party and keep your dignity in tact.
"I broke the no contact rule with my ex by begging him to which of course he said no…"
In order for your (ex) to have been "the one" he would have had to see (you) as being "the one".
At the very least a "soulmate" is someone who actually wants to be with you!

by Bill Pearis
Here We Go Magic @ Baby's All Right, Dec. 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
As we just posted, Scottish duo Honeyblood and Saint Rich were added to Teenage Fanclub's River Rocks show on July 24. (This will be TFC's first NYC show in four years.) That's not the only update to the line-ups of the three free River Rocks shows they're doing at Hudson River Park's Pier 84 this summer.
The August 7 show with Temples now has Here We Go Magic and Spires on the bill as well. River Rocks' 2014 kickoff show is July 10 with Wild Beasts and Mutual Benefit. If you show up early that night — pardon the self-promotion — I'll be DJing from 6 PM till Mutual Benefit start (around 8 PM).
All River Rocks shows are free, all-ages and open to the public, with gates opening at 6 PM for each one.
Speaking of free Here We Go Magic shows on a Pier, they're playing TONIGHT (5/14) at Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park with Gospels and Porcelain Raft. It's the official pre-party for New York Road Runner Five-Borough Series: Brooklyn Half Marathon which happens on Saturday (5/17). Show tonight starts at 8 PM.

A World Rugby U20 Championship winner with England in 2014, the 23-year-old launched his career at Bath Rugby where he came through the academy ranks under the watchful eye of former England lock Danny Grewcock.
Making the transition from back row to hooker following advice from Grewcock, Woolstencroft made his senior debut for Bath in the LV= Cup in 2014.
The versatile forward was also part of the club's Premiership Rugby A League-winning side the same year, underlining his growing potential in the game.
Wasps' director of rugby Dai Young came calling for his services ahead of the 2016/17 season, but injury curtailed his time at the Ricoh Arena, with Woolstencroft training with Ealing Trailfinders last season in a bid to get himself fully match fit.
In October 2017, London Irish bolstered their front row options with the signing of the former England Under-20 hooker.
After making 13 appearances in all competitions for the Irish, Woolstencroft signed for Saracens ahead of the 2018/19 Premiership Rugby campaign.
As of the 2018/2019 Champions Cup, Woolstencroft has had 6 European Cups appearances.
