A sense of purpose.
We're building a successful, sustainable business here at Orchard, but we also share a higher purpose, and we believe these are not mutually exclusive. If you want to share a cake, you need a cake to start with, right? So the same applies to us. We're building an effective business model and sharing it with our team, and you. But we also need to understand our place in the world, and do all we can to improve it. That's why we offer share options to enable members of the team to own a piece of the company, and are proud to be a Living Wage employer.
The term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) always sounds to us like a chore, a company box to tick, and something you really have to push your team to get involved in. At Orchard it has to be organic. We need to feel the purpose of what we get involved in - whether that's our annual designated charity, our Cardiff Commitment to schools and colleges to give the next generation an insight into the way we operate, or colleges to inspire young talent with the limitless opportunities that await them in the creative industries.
We also take our responsibility to the environment very seriously, and are working hard to be free from single-use plastic in a matter of months, through the ingenuity of our ideas and the commitment of our teams.

Hadlow Group suspends principal and deputy pending investigations
Fraser Whieldon
Mon 18th Feb 2019, 17.41
The principal and deputy principal of the Hadlow Group have been suspended as multiple investigations are launched into their financial dealings.
A spokesperson for the group told FE Week today that principal Paul Hannan, who went on sick leave last week, and his deputy Mark Lumsdon-Taylor, who resigned in January to take effect from March 1, have both been suspended.
Paul Dubrow
Meanwhile Paul Dubrow, the chair of one of the group's college boards – for West Kent and Ashford – stood down today after four years in the role.
Vice-chair Theresa Bruton, who is the chair of Hadlow College's board, has stepped into Mr Dubrow's role on an interim basis.
Ms Bruton has been a Hadlow College governor for over seven years.
Theresa Bruton
There are now three separate investigations into the Hadlow Group underway: one by the FE Commissioner, one by the Education and Skills Funding Agency and one by the board of one of the group's colleges, Hadlow College, which it runs alongside West Kent and Ashford College.
The board investigation relates to whether Mr Hannan and Mr Lumsdon-Taylor kept the board properly informed about financial transactions, namely land sales and purchases between Hadlow College and WKAC, which FE Week reported on last week.
The FE Commissioner investigation was triggered after The Hadlow Group made a request for restructuring funds from the Department for Education's Transactions Unit and the unit began questioning the series of land purchases between Hadlow College and WKAC.
Meanwhile, the ESFA is said to be looking to reclaim significant sums of funding from the Hadlow Group.
It is understood the group was claiming funding they were not permitted to, but which Mr Lumsdon-Taylor said they had permission to claim from when it adopted the West Kent and Ashford campuses of the collapsed K College – something the ESFA disputes.
Following Mr Hannan's suspension, Graham Morley was appointed interim principal of The Hadlow Group on Friday.

Joseph Smith Jr, född 23 december 1805 i Sharon i Vermont, död 27 juni 1844 i Carthage i Illinois, var en amerikansk förkunnare och grundare av Jesu Kristi Kyrka av Sista Dagars Heliga, i dagligt tal även kallad "Mormonkyrkan".

Smiths föräldrar var Joseph Smith den äldre och Lucy Mack Smith. År 1816 flyttade familjen till byn Palmyra i delstaten New York. Det var en tid av väckelse med många olika kyrkor. Osäker på vilken kyrka som var den rätta begav sig Smith 1820 ut i skogen för att be för att få veta vilken kyrka han skulle tillhöra. Gud och Jesus uppenbarade sig då enligt Smith för honom och sa att han inte skulle ansluta sig till någon av de existerande kyrkorna. Händelsen var enligt Smith en profetisk kallelse från Gud och början till vad han kom att benämna som en återställelse av Jesu Kristi evangelium och prästadöme.

Smith hävdar att han år 1823 fick besök av ängeln Moroni som fyra år senare överlämnade ett antal forntida guldplattor med vad Smith kallade "reformerad egyptisk skrift". Med gudomlig hjälp och två särskilda stenar (som han också hävdade ha fått av Moroni) översatte han tecknen på dessa plattor till engelska. Plattorna återtogs enligt Smith av Moroni själv men Smith hann dock visa dem för ett antal vänner som han lyckades få att skriftligen intyga plattornas existens och äkthet. Smith – som vid tillfället var i det närmaste arbetslös – försökte först tjäna pengar på texten bland annat genom att försöka sälja rättigheterna till ett bokförlag i Kanada (i mångt och mycket kan texten sägas avspegla den tidiga Science Fiction-genren som hade börjat växa fram med författare som Edgar Allan Poe och John Leonard Riddell och ett bokkontrakt var inte alldeles otänkbart trots textens språkliga likhet med King James Bibel). Någon försäljning ägde dock inte rum, däremot lyckades han ge ut texten under copyright i USA år 1830 under namnet Mormons bok. Den sålde mycket dåligt, men ett litet antal människor hade sedan flera år med anledning av hans skrifter börjat följa honom som profet. Tillsammans med dessa grundande han samma år (1830) Kristi kyrka som han år 1838 gav namnet Jesu Kristi Kyrka av Sista Dagars Heliga - det namn samfundet bär än idag. I samband med detta lät han också ge ut en ny och reviderad version av Mormons bok 1837 och 1840, båda under copyright. Under sin verksamhet fortsatte Smith att få uppenbarelser varav många finns samlade i skriftsamlingarna Läran och förbunden och Den kostbara pärlan.

Innan Joseph Smith hade vunnit anhängare för sin lära försökte han en tid försörja sig som skattletare, något som vid den tiden var olagligt i delstaten. År 1826 hölls därför en rättegång mot honom i Bainbridge där han bland annat åtalades för förargelseväckande beteende och förklarades skyldig av juryn som dock troligtvis gav honom en villkorlig dom där hans ålder uppges ha varit skäl för att låta honom slippa straff.

Under tiden Joseph Smith bodde hos familjen Hale i Harmony i delstaten Pennsylvania förälskade han sig i dottern Emma Hale. När han frågade hennes far, Isaac Hale, om att gifta sig med hans dotter, tillät fadern inte detta då han befarade att Smith inte skulle kunna försörja henne. Trots detta blev de ett par och gifte sig 1827.

Mormonkyrkan som Joseph Smiths rörelse kom att kallas sökte finna en religiös fristad i västra USA där Smith själv flyttade runt mellan olika platser (Ohio, Missouri, Illinois). År 1839 lyckades han genom politiska kontakter få sig tilldelat ett stycke land där han tillsammans med sina anhängare grundade en liten stad som han gav namnet Nauvoo. Illinois hade vid den tiden en synnerligen tillåtande lagstiftning gällande religionsfrihet och detta gjorde att Smith lyckades utse sig själv till både borgmästare och general och ledde (helt lagligt) den beväpnade så kallade "nauvoolegionen" som hade till uppgift att försvara staden från religiös förföljelse. Smith kom därmed att bli mycket inflytelserik både militärt och politiskt. En ideologisk strid i kyrkan rörande giftermål och polygami (något som Joseph Smith infört 1841) föranledde Smiths kritiker att ge ut tidningen The Nauvoo Expositor där deras kritik av ledaren publicerades. Smith svarade då med det borgmästerliga beslutet att tidningens tryckeri skulle förstöras med argumentet att det utgjorde en allmän olägenhet.

Detta ledde dock till att konflikten förvärrades och delstaten Illinois (där många under lång tid velat bli av med mormonkyrkan) blev nu varse att situationen i den lilla staden höll på att utvecklas till en väpnad konflikt. Smith kom därför att häktas. I väntan på rättegång i Carthage där Smith satt tillsammans med sin bror Hyrum och vännerna John Taylor och Willard Richards blev de attackerade av en antimormonsk folkhop. Bröderna Smith blev ihjälskjutna i tumultet som uppstod men både Taylor och Richards överlevde attentatet.

Jesu Kristi Kyrka ser än idag bröderna Smith som kristna martyrer och profeter. Smiths död ledde till en successionskris då flera personer ansåg sig vara hans rättmätiga efterträdare. Majoriteten anslöt sig till Brigham Young under vilkens ledning kyrkan så småningom etablerades i Utah.

Antalet fruar som Smith hade är omdiskuterat. I en essä utgiven 2014 av Jesu Kristi Kyrka av Sista Dagars Heliga konstaterades det att Smith hade mellan 30 och 40 fruar. Historikern Todd Compton har hävdat att Smith hade 33 fruar, varav flera redan gifta.

My issue with parts/acts of concept albums is that it can go one of two ways: a) each part is good on its own and fantastic when put together; or b) one part is better than the other, making the whole concept seem less than what it is. Considering that my experiences with concept albums in recent times range from great (Ayreon's The Source, Devin Townsend's Z² – Dark Matters) to meh (Pain of Salvation's Road Salt One / Two), I tried to approach Xanthochroid with an open mind. Whichever way it went, I hoped to at least enjoy the music that comes from Xanthochroid's brand of "cinematic black metal".
Xanthochroid's previous release, 2012's Blessed He with Boils, was critically acclaimed for the sweeping, majestic music that accompanied its original lore. Of Erthe and Axen is the prequel to what happened in the EP Incultus and on Blessed He with Boils, and it even comes with lore and a listening guide [1] that the listener should read if interested. [2] Because Of Erthe and Axen is in two acts as separate albums, I have decided to talk about Act I first; then Act II, and finally my closing remarks on the albums as a whole.
Of Erthe and Axen, Act I
If there is one thing that Xanthochroid is incredibly good at, it's their music. Everything about Of Erthe and Axen is expertly crafted and layered, to the extent that it feels live. The music is majestic, filled with color and drama that only accentuates the story of the first act. Because of the nature of the music, the sweeping crescendos assert an importance into what we are looking into, while also adding to the tension in the story. Even the quiet moments add to the awe-inspiring nature of it, as you can take the time to appreciate the orchestral and choir work. There is also a reverent quality to it that makes you take note of what's truly going on; whether or not it was intentional, it works towards making the listener pay close attention to the changes in the music. What you get is an epic presentation of what black metal can sound like if given the chance to adapt into other endeavors. If this is what progressive black metal could potentially sound like, then I am all for it.
What I love best about this album is the vocal complexity; outside of the music, they are the strongest part of the album. While they all feel different, each style has their own personality that can be conveyed through the music. The harsh vocals are also used sparingly, tending to come out during the more moving parts. Obviously, the focus is not placed on the harsh nature; instead, the focus is placed on the cleaner vocals, allowing the album to have a lush, rich nature. The vocals also sound grander than what you would get from four voices [3] – it feels like Xanthochroid asked an actual choir to back their music and the lead vocals. It's an excellent choice, as it feels intimate and beautiful, as if you too are a part of what's happening in the story. The album closes with the epic 'The Sound Which Has No Name', bringing the whole choir to full force as the music reaches its climax, ending abruptly to the sound of silence.
Of Erthe and Axen: Act I (2017) by Xanthochroid
Of Erthe and Axen, Act II
Act II begins directly after the end of Act I, a funeral dirge playing after the aftermath of 'The Sound Which Has No Name'. This brings forth the idea that this second act will be both more somber and harsher than Act I, focusing more on the heavier aspects of the music and vocals rather than on the artistry behind it – and this is indeed the case. The music continues to be lush and majestic, but the focus has shifted to a darker outlook. In contrast to Act I, which sounded jubilant and awe-inspiring, Act II is mournful while retaining its reverent nature. The vocals have definitely changed here, as the growls are the focus now. Granted, the sweeping, majestic nature of the music as heard in Act I are still abound, but the melancholic nature of the music takes precedence, especially when the chanting comes in.
The thing I enjoy most about Act II, outside of the vocals, is the emotional complexity that gives the music a vibrancy that is different from what was heard in Act I. The somber nature of 'Reveal Your Shape O Formless One' sets the tone for the rest of the album, even with a particular focus on the heavier tones. Every emotion is played towards the music: you can feel the sorrow, the loss, the betrayal, and the eventual anger that comes at the death of a loved one. There is also an energy that stems from the heightened emotions, creating a dynamism that fully encompasses the vibrancy of the music and let it intertwine with the vocals. This also creates an inconsistency that, while it could have made this act weaker, instead makes it stand out more, especially when it got resolved in the fittingly titled 'Towards Truth and Reconciliation'. This makes sure the contrasting nature of the albums were resolved at the end, allowing for the albums to tie up any loose ends musically.
Of Erthe and Axen Act II (2017) by Xanthochroid
If you were expecting a black metal feast of fast blasting, tremolo picking, and everything that makes black metal its own class, prepare to be disappointed. Xanthochroid is cinematic and have progressive influences running through their music, but the blackest black metal thing about them is the harsh vocals. However, if you happen to enjoy both concept albums and lush music with gorgeous vocals, then Of Erthe and Axen is for you. Because this is essentially a double album, it may take a few listens to understand what's going on. While the idea of having a double concept album may seem like a gimmick – in that it would have been easier to release these albums as one with two discs – it doesn't feel gimmicky. Both of these albums feel authentic and dynamic, a true testament to the production values and the work that went into creating them. They were brave in their decisions and it paid off. Five years is a long wait, but Of Erthe and Axen was worth the wait and I fully suggest listening to both albums.

I sat by the lake and the wind caressed my face.
I played with my hands and listened to nature.
I surrounded myself with quietness.
I replied with a vigorous shake of my head.
'I was looking for peace,' I added.
'Yeah, I know and now I have it,' I told her.
'It's noisy out there,' she observed, and her eyes looked sad.
'I don't allow the noise get to me, I have found my peace.' I said.
We listened to the sound of the lake.
This 'poetic thought' is symbolic, I hope you can get the true meaning. A place of peace is very easy. You're the master of your destiny, you decide what course your life takes. You can have peace, if you want.
Have a nice weekend dear friends… Live well!

'Community' Season 5 to 2014, Plus NBC Fall Schedule Announcement!
Kevin Fitzpatrick
We'd be hard pressed to say who had the most brutal of cancellations and fruitful pickups between the five major networks this weekend, but few would offer that NBC had any undeserved ends. Even so, the peacock has become the first among the five to set its major schedule, moving 'Revolution' and 'Parenthood' to new nights, scheduling Jonathan Rhys-Meyers 'Dracula' for fall and moving 'Community' and more to midseason! Get the lowdown on NBC's new lineup inside!
It remains to be seen if NBC's 2013-14 will prove as disastrous as the past year, but the new fall lineup definitely has some changes in store. Not only will 'Revolution' move to Wednesdays while 'Parenthood' jumps to Thursdays, but 'Parks and Recreation' will also take the Thursday 8:00 PM. slot to introduce new series' Welcome to the Family,' Sean Hayes' 'Sean Saves the World' and 'The Michael J. Fox Show.'
Additionally, 'Community' will likely forgo any "October 19th" shenanigans by moving directly to midseason, along with J.J. Abrams' 'Believe,' 'About a Boy,' pirate drama 'Crossbones' and 'Chicago Fire' spin-off 'Chicago PD.' Check out NBC's fall lineup for yourself below:
8:00 P.M. - 'The Voice'

8:00 P.M. - 'The Biggest Loser'
10:00 P.M. - 'Chicago Fire'

Q: How to see if an MFC checkbox is selected I have checked many places for the answer to this, and they recommend the way I have done it, but it doesn't seem to work for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a check box and I would like it to enable an edit box when it is check and disable it when unchecked.
The following code is what I have created:
void CMFCApplication1Dlg::OnBnClickedCheck1()
{
    UINT nCheck = CheckBox.GetState();
    if (nCheck == BST_CHECKED)
    {
        EditBox.EnableWindow(TRUE);
    }
    else if (nCheck == BST_UNCHECKED)
    {
        EditBox.EnableWindow(FALSE);
    }
    else
    {
        EditBox.EnableWindow(TRUE);
    }

nCheck is 520 when I run it in debug, so goes straight to the else option.
Many thanks

A: From MSDN Forum:
CButton *m_ctlCheck = (CButton*) GetDlgItem(IDC_CHECKBOX);
int ChkBox = m_ctlCheck->GetCheck();
CString str;

if(ChkBox == BST_UNCHECKED)
  str.Format(_T("Un Checked"));
else if(ChkBox == BST_CHECKED)
  str.Format(_T("Checked"));

A: If you read the manual page on GetState you will see that it returns a bitmask.
This means you can't use it directly in comparisons, you have to check it like a mask:
if ((nCheck & BST_CHECKED) != 0)
{
    // Button is checked
}
else
{
    // Button is unchecked
}

However, GetCheck might be more appropriate in your case.

A: CButton's GetState gets the current state of the dialog object. What you want to be using is CButton's GetCheck.
Alternatively, you can, as indicated on MSDN, do a bitwise mask on the return value to get the current Check state - but GetCheck is right there, so you might as well use it.

A: To read the state of a checkbox named IDC_CHECK1 into a variable:
bool IsCheck1Checked;

use the following code:
CButton *m_ctlCheck1 = (CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_CHECK1);
IsCheck1Checked = (m_ctlCheck1->GetCheck() == 1) ? true : false;

The dedication of the Heliodorus pillar was made by Heliodorus, ambassador of the Indo-Greek king Antialcidas (here depicted on one of his coins).
The Heliodorus pillar is a stone column that was erected around 113 BCE in central India in Vidisha near modern Besnagar, by Heliodorus, an Indo-Greek ambassador of the Indo-Greek king Antialcidas in Taxila to the court of the Shunga king Bhagabhadra. Historically, it is one of the earliest known inscriptions related to the Vaishnavism in India. The site is located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northeast from Bhopal and 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from the Buddhist stupa of Sanchi.
The pillar was surmounted by a sculpture of Garuda and was dedicated by Heliodorus to the god Vāsudeva in front of the temple of Vāsudeva. According to Rawlinson, the colonial British era historian, locals called it the Khamba Baba or Khambaba.
The pillar was first discovered by Cunningham in 1877 near the ancient city of Besnagar in neighbourhood of Vidisha, but the inscription itself, hidden under a thick crust of vermilion covering the shaft, was only discovered later by John Marshall. There were other pillars in the area as at least three capitals were discovered. Ruins of an elliptical temple were also found in the immediate vicinity of the pillar.
There are two inscriptions on the pillar, located around the pillar, at the same level under the middle decorative band, on five of the six faces of the pillar. The inscriptions have been analysed by several authors, such as E. J. Rapson, Sukthankar, Richard Salomon, and Shane Wallace.
in the fourteenth year of his reign."
lead to heaven: self-restraint, charity, consciousness"
"This Garuda-pillar of Vãsudeva, the god of gods, was constructed here by Heliodora, the Bhãgavata, son of Diya, of Takhkhasilã, the Greek ambassador who came from the Great King Amtalikita to King Kãsîputra Bhãgabhadra, the Savior, prospering in (his) fourteenth regnal year. (These?) three steps to immortality, when correctly followed, lead to heaven: control, generosity, and attention.
King Bhagabhadra, who is said to have welcome ambassador Heliodorus, may have been the 5th ruler of the Sunga dynasty, as described in some Puranic lists.
The Heliodorus pillar inscription, made by Heliodorus circa 110 BCE.
The design of the base of the capital with bell-shaped lotus, the cable necking, and the abacus with pecking-geese and honey-suckle designs are in direct prolongation of the artistic choices made in the pillars of Ashoka, with some variations such as the prismatic structure of the pillar or the details of the carving, generally less fine than those of the pillars of Ashoka. It is also about half smaller in diameters than the pillars of Ashoka.
The Heliodorus pillar, being dated rather precisely to the period of the reign of Antialkidas (approximately 115-80 BCE), is an essential marker of the evolution of Indian art during the Sunga period. It is, following the Pillars of Ashoka, the next pillar to be associated clearly with a datable inscription. The motifs on the pillar are key in dating some of the architectural elements of the nearby Buddhist complex of Sanchi. For example the reliefs of Stupa No.2 in Sanchi are dated to the last quarter of the 2nd century BCE due to their similarity with architectural motifs on the Heliodorus pillar as well as similarities of the paleography of the inscriptions.
A remaining fragment of the Garuda capital is located at the Gujari Mahal Museum in Gwalior.
Professor Kunja Govinda Goswami of Calcutta University concludes that Heliodorus "was well acquainted with the texts dealing with the Bhagavata religion."
Based on Helliodorus pillar evidence it has been suggested that Heliodorus is one of the earliest Westerners on record to convert to Vaishnavism whose evidence has survived. But some scholars, most notably A. L. Basham and Thomas Hopkins, are of the opinion that Heliodorus was not the earliest Greek to convert to Bhagavata Krishnaism. Hopkins, chairman of the department of religious studies at Franklin and Marshall College, has said, "Heliodorus was presumably not the earliest Greek who was converted to Vaishnava devotional practices although he might have been the one to erect a column that is still extant. Certainly there were numerous others including the king who sent him as an ambassador."
Structure and decorative elements of the Heliodorus pillar. The pillar originally supported a statue of Garuda, now lost, or possibly located in the Gujari Mahal Museum in Gwalior.. Established circa 100 BCE.
According to Allan Dahlaquist, an alternate interpretation of the inscription is possible. Buddha too was called a Bhagavan, and Heliodorus originated from Taxila where Buddhism was strong. At the time of Dahlaquist 1962 publication, he stated there was no proof that a sect of Vishnu-Krishna devotees existed at that time in Taxila. Lastly, according to Dahlaquist, there is no definite evidence that Vasudeva should necessarily refer to Vishnu-Krishna. As god-of-the-god, Vasudeva can well be associated with Indra, who had a key role in Buddhism stated Dahlaquist.
Later scholars have questioned Dahlaquist's analysis and assumptions. Kuiper criticizes him for interpreting the dubious source of Megasthenes, ignoring all the "indications to the contrary", and dispute Dahlaquist's treatment of the evidence. The Greek texts that describe ancient India, have numerous references that suggest the existence of Vishnu-Krishna before the time of Heliodorus. For example, there is little doubt that Methora in ancient Greek texts is same as Mathura, Sourasenoi as Shurasenas, Herakles of India is Hari-Krishna, Kleisobora is Krishnapura. Similarly, early Buddhist sources provide evidence of Krishna worship, such as the Niddesa which mentions both Vasudeva and Baladeva.[note 1] The Jataka tales too include a story on Krishna. Heliodorus may have been a Buddhist, but converted to the Krishna religion when he was serving as an envoy. The Heliodorus pillar's inscription is generally dated to the late 2nd century BCE or about 100 BCE, is attributed to Heliodorus, as recording his devotion to the Vaishnava Vasudeva sect.
In the 1910s, the Besnagar site was extensively excavated by archaeologists Lake and Bhandarkar for studies along with the nearby Udayagiri Caves and Vidisha sites. This effort yielded a number of additional inscriptions such as one found in Vidisha that mention Bhagavata. In one of those inscriptions, is the mention of another Bhagavata installing a pillar of Garuda (vahana of Vishnu) at the "best temple of Bhagavat" after the king had ruled for twelve years.

Glasgow Warriors 47-17 Newport Gwent Dragons
March 6, 2017 in Guinness PRO14
By Iain Hay

Glasgow Warriors stopped their run of defeats and kept alive their slim hopes of making the Pro12 play-offs with a resounding 7-try victory over a Newport team whose slip into decline seems to gather pace quicker than Stuart Hogg.
The visitors started brightly and took a 10-0 lead following a penalty from Angus O'Brien and a try by lock Rynard Landman, who managed to roll the tip of the ball onto the line.
Whatever Henry Pyrgos said to the other Warriors' players as they waited for the TMO's decision worked wonders, as from the 23rd minute to the 79th, the Warriors scored 47 unanswered points.
The Warriors claimed the restart, and when Mark Bennett put a perfectly weighted grubber kick through, the retreating Dragons were forced over their own line to concede a 5m scrum. Take one: Pyrgos to Horne to Grigg, who bullied his way over the line, only to be held up. Take two: the same trio combined, but this time Grigg was able to get the ball down and reduce the deficit.
Less than ten minutes later, the diminutive centre then put the home side in the lead with a tremendous solo score. Spotting a gap between tight-head Brok Harris and earlier try-scorer Landman, he raced away, side-stepped full-back Tom Pyrdie and put the Warriors in the lead.
Half-time: Glasgow 14-10 Dragons
The second half must have had Newport head coach Kingsley Jones pulling what's left of his hair out in absolute despair, as time and time again, the Warriors were able to either find gaps or simply burst through. (For those who like their stats, Newport completed 131 tackles, but missed 31.)
Next over the try-line was Rory Hughes, who cut a nicely angled line through the middle to take the ball at pace, and the big winger powered through at least three attempts at tackles before going over. Prior to this, the Castlemilk man, with his left knee heavily strapped, had looked in a bit of bother, and this was to be his last involvement.
The dominance continued, and with Glasgow just a few metres short of the line on the right a cross-kick from Horne gave home debutant Ratu Tagive the simple task of catching the ball in acres of space and touching down on the left. Horne, whose distribution and variation of pass throughout was exceptional, to the point it was like having two scrum-halves on the pitch, inexplicably missed the conversion, but that was the only blot on an otherwise tremendous display from the Scotland star still getting back to match sharpness.
Lee Jones then pirouetted through to celebrate his new contract with a try, Mark Bennett – who was a constant threat throughout – then motored through more lacklustre defending to add more gloss to the scoreline. Peter Horne, who had moved back to his more natural position of inside centre with the introduction of Brandon Thomson, took a simple inside pass from the South African fly-half, to add 5 points to his own personal tally.
Newport scored a last-minute consolation try through Tyler Morgan following some kamikaze passing from the home side, but it still meant a remarkably easy bonus-point win for the men in black. Hughes' injury and another stretchering-off for cult hero Richie Vernon were the only downsides to a dominant Glasgow display.
Credit must also be given to Brian Alainu'uese, who once again thundered his way through all that stood before him.
Referee: Andrew Brace (Ireland)
Attendance: 7,067 (allegedly)
SRBlog Man of the Match: Sponsor's MOTM went to Big Brian Alai… right I'm just calling him Big Brido from now on, but I'm going to give it to Peter Horne. I've said before I prefer him at centre, even to the man himself, but he passed exquisitely off either hand, which really kept Newport guessing, and let Bennett and Grigg cut right through a hapless Dragons' defence.

I wonder if the Scottish coaches wanted to look at Horne one more time at FH with Twickenham in mind? IMO and if match fit he is our current No 2
Doddies trews on March 6th, 2017 - 2:31pm
I wondered this too. The fact remains that Russell will play 80 unless injured, so Weir on the bench is solely a contingency plan. Having Horne at 22 instead gives us tactical options as well as injury cover for 10.
Depending on how the match is going we could bring on Horne at inside centre to play outisde Russell as a secondary playmaker. I'd then having Maitland as 23 to cover FB and wing. Visser has earned another start.
Andrew on March 6th, 2017 - 2:35pm
I agree. Horne has the long shadow of one missed touch against Italy hanging over him. He had played well in that game and seems to have the skillset to get the most out of the back line if called on due to injury or even Finn having an off day. I might be a bit of a fan on the basis of liking the old days when rugby players came in all shapes and sizes, not just 15 flankers.
Highland Bear on March 6th, 2017 - 12:42pm
Interesting home crowd stats from the Pro 12 games this season. Glasgow average 7255 per match with very little difference between their highest and lowest gates (7351 v 7166).
Edinburgh average 5771 but there is a massive difference between highest -presumably the festive derby- and lowest gates (21036 v 2750). Indeed 45% of the total number of supporters were at one match.
Over a season the greater revenue will only exascerbate the differences in quality between the clubs. For Glasgow growing the capacity at the stadium will be a priority to accommodate 10,000+ crowds and compete against the teams at the top of the Pro 12 who have significantly higher home attendance figures.
For Edinburgh the challenge is more complex, building a successful winning team to stop the inexorable fall in attendance figures, while completing the transition to Myreside together with the identification of it as their home ground.
1.8T on March 6th, 2017 - 12:48pm
Only caught a bit of it but Horne certainly made his case for warming a bench at Twickenham. Who do you drop for him though, Weir or Bennett? Do we need Weir's safe pair of hands territorial type game and kicking? Bennett isn't in great form although he did fine in this match and can change a game in the blink of an eye.
pragmatic optomist on March 6th, 2017 - 1:50pm
Just thought I'd redress the balance after moaning about Grigg last week. He could neither catch a ball nor pass last week, but a different and much improved player this week.
He needs a bit of consistency now.
Also good to see Mark Bennett showing a bit of much delayed form. He looked very quick when he found a yard of space, and his hand off of the Dragons back rowers illustrated the work he's been putting in in the gymn.
I'd love to see Big Brian sign up for next year, but he was a short term signing and he probably has other committments.
A big hearted player though, and the kind of big runner that we're always short of.
If Peterson and Uanive (sp?) had been fit it would make a difference during the internationals.
Grigg has been a standout player for Glasgow over the international break along with Brian and Cummings. He was invited to train with the Scotland squad before the 6N, and I think he'll go on the Australian tour this summer. Yet another addition to our centre stocks.
Willie Sneckie on March 6th, 2017 - 3:06pm
No mention of Brandon Thomson who looks a very a good player. Can anyone remember his deal or is he temp 6N cover?
John on March 6th, 2017 - 3:14pm
Temp cover… and apparently on a relatively long contract at the Stormers….
Not sure the Clegg savings will cover it unless the Stormers dont want/need him..
Good wee player though, been impressed also!
Ade on March 6th, 2017 - 4:57pm
He was brought in on a short term deal – either 2 or 3 months
Much more like it from Glasgow on Saturday, although Dragons were pretty dire.
Thought the midfield did very well – Horne and Bennett looked sharp, and Grigg belies his stature with the way he hits the gainline.
What a shame for Richie Vernon though – I hope it is not a serious injury, and the same to Hughes as well.
I was impressed with how both sides tried to play rugby right to the end. The clock was well into the 82nd minute when Glasgow played hot potato and gifted Dragons their second score, but both sides had chances to knock the ball out and hit the showers. I think this is a reflection on the positive mindset the Pro12 seems to produce.
Can Glasgow make the play offs? Yes, but….. If they were 5th with one team to overhaul I'd back them. With two teams to chase down, and Ulster with a game in hand it's much, much tougher. Still "In Toonie We Trust"
Frazer on March 6th, 2017 - 5:39pm
I think Pete Horne would be a good option off the bench against England. He's a better FH option that Weir and can cover centre if needed.
Good to see Bennett get a bit of his old form back, and he may actually justify being on the bench ahead of Matt Scott now.
Niddrie Exiler on March 6th, 2017 - 5:44pm
I agree you play Russell for 80 God willing, but our real issues are the bench and back row cover. I will take a punt now and predict Denton will get a spot and Swinson too.
JohnMc on March 6th, 2017 - 6:34pm
Didn't see enough of the Glasgow game to make a personal judgment of Horne. By all accounts he did well. He's a better player than Weir and surely by now most will have forgiven if not forgotten the infamous missed touch v Italy two years ago – statute of limitations and all that. Also, Horne can do things in quick time and at pace that take the oppo by surprise – e.g. our first try in the 2015 RWC QF. And he can in extremis cover centre, possibly FB too. If he's assessed as Test match fit by Vern, then why wouldn't we want to feature someone from the bench with the pace, know how and skill to keep the England defence guessing? We're going to need plenty of X Factor at Twickenham this Saturday.
Also, can't see where Swinson has put a foot wrong as lock and back row cover so far this 6N. Why would we bin him for others whose Test match form is either 18 months old or non-existent to this point?
A great match in prospect at the weekend, and it's really interesting that the prevailing tone amongst sensible England fans on their forums is one of apprehension. When was the last time that happened in the run up to a Calcutta Cup?
Get in there, Scotland. Can't wait!
Mikelinds on March 6th, 2017 - 7:30pm
Horne was good, definitely a step up from the previous couple of games. Agree about Swinson, bench for sure, who else does BVC pick for bench to cover 2nd row, back row?
Horne exorcised the ghosts of that kick vs Italy by running the show in the victory over France last season.
Busy Little Bee on March 6th, 2017 - 6:30pm
if Laidlaw was in then having Horne on the bench ahead of Weir is a no-brainer. But no Laidlaw, Russell or Weir and who kicks for goal? Hogg can place kick and belt goal kicks from distance but is he good enough with the closer ones? I get the feeling the coaches don't fancy it.
Horne is a very capable goal kicker, Pyrgos is good too. Both would kick over Hogg
Mikelinds on March 6th, 2017 - 10:39pm
Totally correct
Not rocket science on March 7th, 2017 - 4:12am
Pressure is going to be paralyzingly for England says Hines.
You don't want to be part of the team that blows it.
Good reposte to Jones.
Think that's got to be worth an article Scottish rugby blog?
Feeding Eddie Jones' ego can be left to the English broadsheets – this blog doesn't have to :0)
Allan McKirdy on March 7th, 2017 - 9:54am
How about a 'new idea' for Scottish Rugby?
We are simply not good enough, let's face facts here! I want us to be targeting our biggest ever scalp against the likes of New Zealand?
Why don't we enable all of our current stock to play abroad in leagues such as the Premiership, Top 14 or Super Rugby and then enter two teams every year in the European competitions? This could mean the following ;
a) Players have a better understanding of the international game.
b) Guys can learn from the best in the world.
c) Reduced cost due to pro teams not being full time in the Pro12
Think about it the likes of Alex Dunbar getting experience for the Crusaders in NZ or Huw Jones playing for Toulon? It's not as crazy as it sounds…
Allan, Scotland are currently sitting 5th in the world rankings. This suggests that we are good enough, or getting very close to it.
Argentina followed the basic premise behind your proposal for several years, sending all their players abroad and eschewing any pro teams of their own. They have now changed their position, and created the Jaguares team to play in Super Rugby and feed into the national side. It didn't work for them and won't work for us.
The flaws are as follows:
1. Where do you get your 2 teams for European competition from if all your players are employed by clubs with no interest in Scottish Rugby? And how do these teams go about qualifying for Europe if not via the Pro12?
2. The Pro12 has a considerable number of world class players, for example Ruan Pienaar at Ulster. Scottish players get to test themselves in a very competitive league.
3. How do you protect your players from being overplayed? In England the PRL have an agreement with the RFU to look after the players in the English Elite squad. The club so sign non-English players to cover international periods, and players are used accordingly. So Sean Maitland has to play for Saracens in a week when all the England players get rested – and gets injured and misses the Wales game. It's not viable.
There is some mileage in allowing certain players to move abroad. If you have a lot of competition for a particular place then having 1 or 2 players out of your control is not an issue. Another example would be the high-earning project player who has been capped – Strauss is the perfect example – who can be released to free up finance and playing opportunities for the next wave of players.
To add to Ade's comment. Of the 8 quarter finalists in the Champions Cup, 3 are from Pro 12, two of whom topped their group, and almost as tellingly none qualified from the group with Zebre.
Hardly suggests that Pro 12 is a poor league. Yes, there are some poor sides, but the quality at the top is excellent.
Seen a lot of people shouting for Denton to get a start. That would be very foolish IMO. I am admittedly biased in that I have never rated Denton, other than a couple of admittedly outstanding performances in the past he just reminds me of the dark old days, one dimensional, poor handling skills and is prone to going missing.
Everyone's getting their knickers in a twist about Billy V possibly playing for England. I think this is a bad attitude. I have said before the only way we will beat England is if we go there, play our game to the best of our ability and hope it is good enough. Attempting to counter England's strengths will result in a humping, we are not going to out muscle them. By all means give him the respect he is due, but trying to "out globogym" the globogym will not work.
Not to start, but bench. Who else? and this is not to counter BV. Denton can raise his game and has a good 30 mins in him. Plays well against England
Al on March 7th, 2017 - 10:44pm
A good 30 mins leaves someone else to carry the can for the previous 50. He's looked out of shape and off the pace since coming back for Bath. He ballsed up a walk-in last weekend and is not what we need coming off the bench against England. I'd rather DuPreez or bradbury were on the bench. They may be playing in a team with no confidence but there's more to their games than Dentons and they are fit, unlike Denton. I suspect a call up for them may just bring the best out of whoever gets the call.
Niddrie Exiler on March 8th, 2017 - 6:48am

It's a ChurchPoolChurch!
The interior of the church today.
Image taken from http://www.moscow-russia-insiders-guide.com/cathedral-of-christ-the-savior-in-moscow.html
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour was built over the span of 40 years, and opened in the 19th century. This church is the archetype of what all churches hope to be: it was the largest Orthodox Church ever built, and was a prime example of opulence. The inner sanctum was circumscribed by two galleries, the uppermost of which was for the church choir. The walls were covered with about 1,000 square meters of marble plaques depicting major accomplishments of the Patriotic War of 1812. The dome itself was the first in history to be gold-plated via the use of electroplating. Most impressive, however, was the twenty tons of gold recovered from the church after its demolition.
Despite all its glory, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour was not saved from the wrath of the Soviets. It was targeted for demolition during the Soviets' anti-religious campaign, for that site was to be used to construct a massive building, the Palace

of the Soviets. Eventually, in 1931, the building was filled with dynamite and destroyed. Some of the marble from the building was saved and used in the Moscow Metro, and some of the marble reliefs were saved and preserved and are on display today.
However, the construction of the palace halted when funds ran out and the nearby Moscow River flooded the construction site. The palace was eventually abandoned, and the construction site remained flooded. Eventually, however, Nikita Khrushchev turned the site into the world's largest open air swimming pool (which was heated to boot!). The link below will show you people swimming in the pool, and also give you an idea of the size of it. Also note the snow on the ground, and the people walking around in heavy winter coats (All of the above except photos taken from "Cathedral of Christ the Saviour").
The Moskva (Moscow) Pool
The pool was eventually deconstructed, and an (almost) exact replica of the original cathedral was built in its place, and the completed cathedral was opened on 19 August 2000 ("Cathedral of Christ the Saviour").
The destruction of the original cathedral is a sad example of how ruthless the Soviets were during their anti-religious campaign, destroying something of such beauty in the name of societal unity and revolution. However, the fact that the palace-in-construction was eventually turned into a communal swimming pool (even though that was not the original plan) is indicative of the strong bond the average man felt with his comrades. For a Palace of Soviets could be used only by the select few elite of society, but instead a heated public pool was put in its place. This was indicative of the shift in Russian thinking away from focus on the individual and towards others; away from benefiting the one and towards that of the collective.

The destruction of the Cathedral is one of the saddest events of the history of the Soviet Union. This building was one of the most recognizable places in Russia, and I feel like this would be comparable to the destruction of the Lincoln or Washington Monument. The fact that the government would later fail to rebuild on this site shows an interesting paradox within the government. While they were trying to push the unification of everyone and diminishing the role of individuals, the inability of the government to rebuild something that could serve as a replacement for the Cathedral proves the lack of industrial ability the U.S.S.R. still faced. While they were claiming the state was moving more and more towards socialism, how successful this transformation would be was challenged by failures such as this.

This is pretty impressive and crazy all wrapped up in one. I agree that the loss of architecture, and such a beautiful church, is a shameful result of Stalin's soviet communism. The palace would have been an even worse showing of Soviet thought if it had been completed, but the silver lining of making a public swimming pool does lend credit the regime being about the people.
A. Nelson
The swimming pool really was impressive — and it looked just like the British Pathe film clip you used (from the 60s) in the 80s. I couldn't imagine how expensive it was to heat that a pool of that size in the dead of winter.

There's some rueful humor to Mary Bee's upright insistence on carving out what she regards as a normal life in these wearying circumstances, and Swank gives a magnificent performance as a woman whose calm and capable exterior cannot completely conceal her worsening desperation. But don't let anyone tell you that the beginning of "The Homesman" is quiet or bucolic or any such nonsense. In an almost bewildering montage, Jones shows us the circumstances behind each farm wife's descent into madness: One has seen three children die of diphtheria within a week, another has murdered her own baby, a third is haunted by the ghost of her Norwegian-born mother. Mary Bee agrees to be the "homesman" who returns these broken women to civilization because it's the right thing to do, and because the men of her desolate Nebraska settlement seem sunk in self-pity and full of excuses.
I'm not naive enough to believe that a movie with this subject matter and this setting will be a big hit or a major player in the Oscar race. But it should be, and in a curious way "The Homesman" fits into our contemporary cultural debate about sex, gender and the status of women. George Briggs may not be much of a feminist, but I think Jones now gets to claim that title if he wants it. Plain as a tin pail Mary Bee may be, but Jones (and Briggs too) understands that she, and not her male companion, is the true hero of "The Homesman." (It's only a tiny spoiler to say that the title refers to her, more than to Briggs.) She can plow, shoot and ride as well as any man in the territory, while still clinging to feminine dreams of domesticity, family and prosperity. If her struggle comes against insurmountable odds and points toward an ambiguous conclusion, such is America.
I quite enjoyed "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" in patches, like the super-creepy scene when Clary has to enter the catacombs where all former Shadowhunters are interred, presided over by some corpse-like monk-dudes with stitched-up mouths, in order to get her repressed memories back. But a lot of it is super-generic fight scenes and Clary not quite getting to kiss Jace for various reasons, and you almost never get that feeling of specific gravity, of commitment to the universe, that was present even in the most extreme dumbass moments of the "Twilight" and "Potter" movies. I imagine fans of Clare's books will find this movie largely satisfactory, but it's distinctly a rush job, an almost random collection of sexy-supernatural teen signifiers aimed at squeezing the penultimate dollars out of a declining trend. There's something almost cool about that. (But, OK, not quite.)

I have the weird impression that Schwartzman skipped his 20s altogether, leaping directly forward from his debut as the teenage star of Wes Anderson's "Rushmore" to his current run playing murky or off-putting 30-something characters like Kurt or Monsieur Jean in "Grand Budapest Hotel" or Philip Lewis Friedman, the aspiring literary lion of "Listen Up Philip." Of course that's not true. Schwartzman was in plenty of films in between, including "S1m0ne" and "I Heart Huckabees" and "Marie Antoinette" and … but wait, I think I just made my point. I think I see the problem, in that he's a magnetic performer who tends to make you suspicious, which is absolutely perfect for the vulnerable-trickster role of Kurt but isn't really what you want in the young male lead. Anyway, it's great to have him back, and he just might age into a truly legendary character actor in his 40s and 50s.
It might be going a step and a half too far to suggest that "The Overnight" is subversive, in any grand social sense. But it's a little bit subversive in terms of the suburban marriage comedy, which has also been vigorously deconstructed in such underappreciated recent efforts as Stacie Passon's "Concussion" and E.L. Katz's "Cheap Thrills." (Catch both of those!) Brice's script is driven by questions about the nature of desire that are increasingly ambiguous. What do Emily and Alex really want from their attractive and mysteriously affluent new friends? No one's forcing them to stay there all night (after putting their sons to bed together), getting drunk and stoned and swimming naked in the pool and allowing themselves to be separated from each other several times.

The Nation?has had a tradition of marking many anniversaries. When I walk you out, you'll see that there's the 120th, there's 125th, there was a 75th. We felt the 100th was our model [for this – , and you can see that's our perfect spine too, so we knew we wanted to go big. We're talking here three centuries; this is a big deal in a culture which is in such transition and fast-moving. So yeah, we knew we wanted to go big — we actually went slightly bigger because there was more content. We over-assigned. So it is a slightly bigger book but we always knew we wanted to go big in the conceptual sense of it.

You can find more symbols for network mapping here.
Networks are complex systems, and they are getting more complex all of the time. The larger the network, the harder it is to understand as a whole. Network mapping help to make networks more understandable by breaking them down into more manageable chunks. For instance, a very large network can be broken down into a very broad overview. Only the largest offices need be displayed, with the main backbones between them. The network can then be broken down into smaller chunks, each chunk revealing more details about the network.
One of the downsides to network mapping is that the maps require much investment of time to create. But, more importantly, once they are created, they require a much greater effort to maintain.
Network maps are an invaluable tool to help new hires get up to speed quickly. Maps can communicate more in a few minutes than a day's worth of talking about the network.
When contemplating modifications to a network architecture, network maps can be invaluable. Not only will your network maps communicate to you what changes are necessary, but they will also communicate to other people, too.
Less technical people also appreciate network maps. Often non-technical managers are the ones who need to sign off on network upgrades. If you have a means to communicate more effectively with them, then that may well ease the process of budget approval.
Network maps needn't to be an onerous burden to the network engineer. There are a variety of network mapping software available that will help automate some aspects of creating network maps. More importantly, the tools will also help with decreasing the burden of maintaining the maps.

Cape Verde Yacht Charter

Yacht charter in Cape Verde
The Cape Verde islands are off the seafront of Africa; they form an archipelago of ten extraordinary islands. The white sandy beaches, majestic volcanic mountains, and perfect navigation conditions will enchant you immediately. You will have a truly unforgettable holiday on board a yacht or motorboat in Cape Verde. Rent a boat and explore the beautiful scenery the best way possible!
Marina Mindelo is Cape's first marina on St. Vincent Island and is its cultural capital. Charter a yacht in Cape Verde and moor your boat at Marina Mindelo, exploring the famous fish market and enjoying the vibrant nightlife of Mindelo with its many bars and music clubs.
Another choice is a very hospitable port in Palmeria, one of Sal's most populated islands on the island's northwest side. On its long white sandy beaches and in the many resorts there, you can truly relax. Boa Vista is the island for all marine lovers, providing some of the country's best windsurfing.
Cape Verde Environment & Weather
Cape Verde islands can be sailed during the whole year, but the best time to schedule a voyage is from November to March. There are a mild, dry, oceanic climate and 350 days of sunshine a year. The weather is characterized by winds, and relatively high humidity, during day and night, of around 70%.
Daytime temperatures vary from 23°C to 30°C (73°-86°F), and water temperatures range from 22°C to 27°C (71°-80°F). Cape Verde Islands have two seasons: the rainy season and the windy season (Tempo the Brisas), the rainy season lasts from August to September, and the possibility of heavy tropical rain during these two months is high. The trade winds blow hardest at 11-16 knots between October and July.
Cesaria Evora, the famous Cape Verde singer, is possibly the best-known thing to come out of Cape Verde, which perfectly demonstrates its culture between rhythmic African music and mournful Portuguese melodies. But you will have to go deeper and closer to grasp what makes this country appealing.
The volcanic islands of Cape Verde are located approximately 570 km off the coast of Senegal. While it is distinctly different from continental Africa and colonized as Portuguese in the fifteenth century, it still has an African legacy. The very isolation, throughout its history, has proven a blessing and a curse for Cape Verde. In any event, the main draw for anyone who comes on a yacht charter is undoubtedly the fantastic scenery.
The location of Cape Verde is suitable for Atlantic crossings from the sailing point of view. So the majority of traffic is from the nearby Canaries and continues into the Caribbean. The archipelago's overall form is one of a horseshoe and consists of ten islands.
You can see that when you come here on a sailing holiday, the islands are very close to Ilhas de Barlavento and Ilhas de Sotavento, which are part of the Caribbean Leewards and Windwards. Santiago is the largest island, also home to Praia's capital city, the country's most significant urban area.
The landscape of the archipelago has volcanic terrain with vast salt flats and large craters. On a sailing holiday, go to Sal and Boas Vista beaches, check the Fogo Volcano walking routes, and the windsurfing opportunities along the coasts.
Cape Verde is very sparse in vegetation. The islands' isolated existence has produced several endangered species of birds and reptiles, such as the Swift of Alessandro, the Heron of Bourne, the Warbler of Cape Verde, and the Gecko Giant of Cape Verde.
In climate terms, the East Atlantic islands are milder all year round than mainland Africa, so boat rental is very common. One thing that is absent in the archipelago is rainfall. Hence the Cape Verdean Islands can be regarded as arid or semi-arid. In the first months, the north-east winds blow hardest, carrying large amounts of Sahara sand.
Getting to Cape Verde
You can find international airports in São Vicente, Sal, Santiago, and Boavista. Most of the international flights arrive at Sal, but air traffic to other airports is growing. Flights can be a little unpredictable with cancellations, and so it is recommended that you fly to the nearest airport to the island. You're going to have a smoother ride to Santo Antão if you travel directly to São Vicente, for example. And if you're going to Fogo, you're going to want to get to Santiago.
You can use TAP Portugal, TACV, Bintercanarias, Transavia, Royal Air Maroc, TAAG Angola, and Senegal Airlines. Charter flights are also a possibility. You should try Thomson and Thomas Cook from the United Kingdom, TUI Nordic from Scandinavia, Jetair from Belgium, and TUIfly from Germany if you're coming from Europe. If you can take a direct flight from Europe, it takes about 6 hours from the north and 3 hours from southern European countries like Portugal.
British visitors make up the majority of tourists to Cape Verde. Still, there are no scheduled direct flights from the United Kingdom, possibly because most of these travelers come to Sal or Boavista through package holidays. With several charter flights serving the package collection, you can find a flight-only style offer with Thomsonfly or Thomas Cook.
Try TAP for scheduled flights from Lisbon. There are also other options for British citizens to arrive, such as selecting a low-cost flight to a mainstream destination in Europe or North Africa and then hop on another flight. You can launch your trek to Cape Verde in the Canary Islands with Bintercanarias, Amsterdam, or Paris with Transavia, or Morocco with Royal Air Maroc in these situations. You can also find cheaper flights, but they usually contain stopovers, which are always overnight and leave you with less time to spend on the islands. You may fly from any UK airport to Germany, Belgium, or Lisbon and take a scheduled or charter flight to Boavista or Sal. Irish residents can connect via Manchester, Lisbon, Gatwick, or Birmingham.
At Yachtco, we are on a quest to make boating more straightforward and more available to you. We believe that boating must be open to everyone, and we will support the boating industry, boat owners, marinas, and all those who want to sail by creating a boating market in the 21st century.

Deshaun Watson arrived to Thursday night's game with a tuxedo on, looking ready to save the world from danger.
They say if you look good, you feel good … and Deshaun Watson certainly looked the part heading into the locker room Thursday night. Watson and the Houston Texans are set to take on the Cincinnati Bengals, and the rookie was certainly dressed to impress on the eve of his 22nd birthday.
He arrived wearing a full-out tuxedo, looking laser focused on the matchup ahead. Houston selected Watson with the 12th overall pick in this last draft, in the hopes of him becoming their franchise quarterback that they have lacked for a while now. The Texans still went with Tom Savage as their starter for week 1, but Watson promptly replaced him after the latter struggled.
The rookie got off to a good start, leading his team to score a touchdown, but then became stagnant as the game went on. Houston's head coach Bill O'Brien held off on naming a starter for Week 2 initially, but the word eventually came out that he had decided on Watson leading his team out there for tonight. Watson completed 12 of 23 passing attempts for 102 yards, one touchdown pass, and one interception in the blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Watson will be looking to improve upon his initial stats, as he has had a bit more time now to get acclimated with the first-team offense. The Texans have been battling a slew of injuries to begin the season, including concussions to three of their tight ends. Houston will presumably look a bit better with Watson under center than Savage, because of his ability to keep defenses honest with his running ability. With that said though, he is still a rookie and has a ways to go to be great, but has showed some flashes to begin his career.
