Annoyed By Wrigleyville Helicopters? Here's How To Complain About Them
By Jessica Cabe |&nbspOctober 5, 2017 3:51pm

Complaints about aircraft over Wrigley Field should be made to the DuPage Flight Standards District Office of the FAA, 847-294-8700.
Twitter/Wrigley Aerials
WRIGLEYVILLE — As the postseason approaches, Wrigleyville residents are gearing up for more traffic, street closures and noise. But some residents say helicopter traffic is overkill.
In an email newsletter, 44th Ward Ald. Tom Tunney said because air space is regulated by the federal government, the best way complain about such noise is by contacting the DuPage Flight Standards District Office of the FAA at 847-294-8700.
Tunney submitted a letter to the Federal Aviation Adminstration in April to "seek guidance on limitations and noise levels from the various aircraft that fly over Wrigley Field and Lakeview."
The letter says one of the the most frequent complaints Tunney's office received last season was regarding helicopter and advertising aircraft noise.
"During the 2016 baseball postseason, the Lakeview community endured constant helicopter operations around the ballpark," the letter reads. "For example, many media outlets began aerial coverage as early as 4 a.m. and maintained aerial coverage throughout the day and late into the evening.
"My office was inundated with noise and quality-of-life complaints from these operations. Many residents complained that the helicopters' frequent, lengthy and low altitude hovering negatively impacted sleep, children, pets, work and the ability to enjoy time at home."
Despite Tunney's efforts, it seems neighbors will likely have to brace themselves for more helicopter noise this postseason, as the alderman already has received complaints during late-season games.
In his newsletter, Tunney said he and his office are working with U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley's office, the Chicago Aviation Department and the FAA to find solutions. Calling the DuPage Flight Standards District Office of the FAA with noise complaints (847-294-8700) will support his office's efforts, the newsletter said.
The Cubs and Wrigley Field are 95 percent owned by an entity controlled by a trust established for the benefit of the family of Joe Ricketts, owner and CEO of DNAinfo.com. Joe Ricketts has no direct involvement in the management of the iconic team.

In a match from the baseball league of South Korea today Lotte Giants will face at home Samsung Lions. The last two matches between the teams there were less than 9,5 runs. Good luck to everybody who will follow the bet from KBO. Also in the last seven matches of Lotte Giants there were less than 9,5 runs while the last five games of Samsung Lions there were also under 9,5 runs. That's why I think that both teams will continue with their low scoring games and today in the matches between t...

Option 1: CSULA or CSUN for Masters, USC or UCLA for PhD.
Option 2: CSUSB or UCR for Masters, UCR (and maybe USC if I drive a little further west) for PhD.
What would be a good area to live in order to manage either option? My intention is to stay in the same house/area for at least the next 5-6 years.
I know some people hate strip mall hells. I don't mind them. I like to have my chain stores and movie theaters relatively close.
That budget is going to be tight for a single family home.
you could buy in a decent neighborhood not too far from UCR and CSUSB in your price range. rancho cucamonga and corona come to mind. check in the inland empire forum.
Whittier, Pico Rivera, Montebello, Downey area?
Those cities are all reasonably close to CSULA and USC... and the areas aren't as bad as East LA and South LA.
I'm with BRinSM. Your best bet for all your requirements would be the inland empire. Housing prices are very depressed in Riverside and San Bernadino counties.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
I have relatives in Upland, near to Rancho Cucamonga. I'd check real estate sites for housing prices. My impression from brief looks was that your budget would be right in the Rancho Cucamonga area (maybe less tight in Ontario, Fontana?), but if you consider an older home or a condo, it might work. I believe San Bernardino is cheaper. Northridge (CSUN), in the San Fernando Valley, not cheap, but, again, you might find something decent. Your current search covers a huge amount of area with widely varying prices. Will housing prices determine your school choice or will your first step be to get accepted and then look for housing? How long of a commute would you consider? The costs at the various schools could also vary widely (USC is a private university with very high costs, but perhaps you'll get a scholarship of some sort?). USC not in the most desirable part of town, but if you don't mind commuting, whether by car or public transport (see www.metro.net), you can live in a decent area.

Filth and Fury
September 29, 2014 by Awix
It looks like it's going to be a slim year in terms of visits to watch new movies: checking my notes, I see I'm five or six down on my running total for the end of September 2013. Partly this is the result of a change in my working practices, with the result that there have been many fewer two-movie days across the summer, but it's also down to my becoming a fairly regular visitor to the local Picturehouse's Vintage Sunday strand. New films are, after all, always at least a little bit of a leap into the dark, whereas something forty or fifty years old which is still on the big screen must have something special about it.
Which brings us to Don Siegel's famous 1971 thriller, Dirty Harry, the latest recipient of a Vintage revival. As ever, it doesn't matter how many times you've seen a film on TV or DVD: watching it on the big screen is a wholly different experience. I note that this movie, which was originally an 18-certificate, has now slid down to a 15, and wonder what this tells us about changes in cinema, censorship, and society: certainly there are elements of this film which seem as urgent and timely as they must have done forty-three years ago.
Clint Eastwood is unchallengably cool as Harry Callahan, a detective inspector with the San Francisco PD. The film tells the story of a battle of wits and wills between Callahan and a demented killer calling himself Scorpio (Andrew Robinson). Scorpio starts by picking off people from the rooftops with a hunting rifle, demanding to be paid to stop, but later moves on to kidnapping. Callahan – nicknamed Dirty Harry because, as he says, he gets 'every dirty job that comes along' – has to stop him, but can he do so while by being a responsible, rule-respecting policeman? Or even a good human being?
Dirty Harry has lasted because, first and foremost, it's simply a very well-made film: Siegel's direction is a masterful example of economical storytelling, Clint is at his most impassively charismatic, Lalo Schifrin's jazzy score adds a lot, and the script, though passing through many hands on its way to the screen, balances elements of action, character, and humour superbly well, barely putting a foot wrong throughout. You could quite easily watch Dirty Harry and think of it as nothing but a supremely polished piece of tough action movie-making – and I'm sure many people do.
But, of course, one of the other reasons why Dirty Harry is still important as a piece of cinema is that it uses the thriller format to introduce and explore a lot of other political and moral ideas, all of them to do with rights and what it means to be a good person. Callahan is a cynical, no-nonsense kind of guy: he shoots first, and then probably shoots some more later. And yet he is surrounded in his work by sociologists and politicians – the mayor in particular is depicted as a slightly wussy bleeding-heart – who seem less concerned with what's actually right than he is. Callahan, the film makes clear, will do anything in pursuit of a just goal: in one of the film's most vivid sequences, he tortures the wounded Scorpio for information that he hopes will save the life of a kidnapped girl (the camera pulls back for what seems like forever from Callahan and the killer, until both figures are swallowed by darkness).
The result of this, of course, is that Scorpio walks out of hospital (the evidence being inadmissible) and Callahan gets a rollicking from the DA for ignoring the criminal's rights. Callahan is duly outraged, and by this point we probably are too: what about the teenaged girl Scorpio has tortured, raped and murdered? What about her rights? It is a debate which is still with us today, with these same questions being asked in the right-wing press all the time.
Of course, Dirty Harry is guilty of stacking the deck in favour of its rather illiberal argument – not least because the mouthpiece for it is Clint himself, who was at the height of his powers at the time the film was made. Callahan is always in the right, and we're even invited to feel for him a bit – there are references to his dead wife, killed by a drunk driver. Rather less subtle is the depiction of Scorpio, who is depicted as not much more than a frothing, rabid psychopath – he is barely humanised at all, and we learn next to nothing about him (Robinson is just credited as 'Killer'). He is just plain bad, a dangerous animal to be put down as quickly as possible (and, again, Robinson's memorably nasty performance serves the film well – I should perhaps mention that I had the privilege of meeting Andrew Robinson a couple of times a few years ago, and in real life he is one of the most amiable and pleasant people you could ever hope to meet).
It's actually quite tempting to consider Dirty Harry as part of a group of films, all made around this time, reflecting the unease of the traditional American establishment with the values of the counter-culture which had arisen in the previous few years. Harry dresses very conservatively; Scorpio has long hair and, all due respect to Robinson, a slightly effeminate voice. Eastwood taking him on doesn't feel a million miles away, thematically, from Charlton Heston confronting the cult of zombie-hippies in The Omega Man. By 1971 it was clear that the hippy dream was merely that, and perhaps films like Dirty Harry are another expression of the status quo reasserting itself.
Dirty Harry is a powerful movie, even if its main contentions – let the police do their job, and worry less about criminal rights and more about victims' rights – are just simplistic. Perhaps the film even recognises this itself, in its rather ambiguous conclusion: having ignored the orders of his superiors and finally disposed of Scorpio, Harry takes out his police badge and looks at it for a moment, then hurls it away in apparent contempt. But is that contempt for the badge itself, and what it stands for? Or contempt for himself, and the things he's been forced to do in pursuit of justice? We are left to decide for ourselves. It is subtle moments such as this that raise Dirty Harry above the level of simple quasi-fascist wish fulfilment and make it the great film that it is.

Gold Industry Group Extends Beyond $5 Million Deal To Support Netball In Western Australia
Earlier this year, the Gold Industry Group committed $5 million over three years to become the first Principal Partner of Netball WA, Elite Partner of West Coast Fever, Premier Partner of Shooting Stars and now, the gold mining industry body has furthered its support of netball, joining Suncorp NetSetGO as the Associate Partner in Western Australia.
To celebrate the announcement, the Gold Industry Group is offering all West Australian Suncorp NetSetGO participants the opportunity to attend West Coast Fever's home game against the NSW Swifts via a two-for-one ticket deal.
Suncorp NetSetGO is Australia's only introductory netball program, catering for participants aged 5-10 years old, and includes three stages; Net, Set, and GO.
The Program has flourished in Western Australia in recent years and is again tracking to surpass its target of 18,500 participants in 2019, while last year saw WA boast the most boys taking part in the country.
"We are delighted to support the next generation of netballers in communities across WA through Suncorp NetSetGo," Gold Industry Group Vice Chairperson, Kelly Carter said.
"As the Associate Partner of Suncorp NetSetGo in the State, our commitment will continue to promote the participation of both girls and boys in netball – keeping kids engaged and active through the critical primary school years."
Netball WA General Manager of Community Netball, Liz Booth, welcomed the Gold Industry Group to the Program.
"We're extremely excited to have the support of the Gold Industry Group for Suncorp NetSetGO," Booth said.
"Netball WA and the Gold Industry Group are committed to the sustainability of the sport from the grassroots through to the elite, and this support will ensure participants across the State stay involved with the sport, while also encouraging new participants to get involved with netball."
The Gold Industry Group also holds the naming rights to the West Australian Netball League.

This week I've re-released a favorite story of mine, Tricked Out, which was previously published by Aspen Mountain Press.
This is one of those stories it seems you either love or hate. I personally really like it, particularly the characters Will and Corey. However, some readers can't stand it, I don't know why. Eh, I guess it just goes to show you can't please everyone all the time.
To be honest, this isn't really the type of story I'd usually write. I was actually asked by my editor as Aspen Mountain if I'd write a police procedural for an anthology that never materialized (no surprise there). The focus for me was more the relationship between the characters — and Will's wounded heart from a previous relationship — than any actual detective work or police case. Maybe that's why some readers don't like this — it's less Columbo than they'd like it to be. Ah well, I still like it.
Willis Moore is a detective with the Richmond City police department. A case he was involved with went down badly and he was given a month's sabbatical to pull himself together after the death of his informant, a young man named Teabag, with whom Will had let himself become sexually involved.
Back on the force now, Will finds himself drawn to another street punk, a hustler named Corey, who seeks police assistance to protect his "boys" from a violent attacker. He and Corey work well together, and Will dares to hope their relationship might be heading toward something more. But he still can't seem to shake the feeling he will eventually fail to protect the hustler … the same way he failed to save Tea.


How did you become a Volunteer at the RAF Museum Cosford?
I am currently serving at RAF Cosford. Having injured my back in May 2014, I was pushed from pillar to post for long period of time with nothing to do. So when the opportunity to come and volunteer at the RAF Museum Cosford fell into my lap I grabbed it. Luckily for me my warrant officer from RAF Cosford was in current contact with Phil Clayton the Learning Manager at the Cosford Museum. They were in need of an extra pair of hands in the office and I was in need of a job. It all fitted well.
What is your role at the Museum and how long have you been doing it?
I started my volunteering career at Cosford's site in November 2015. Since I have been here I have gathered more tasks but my main role is to assist the Volunteering Manager, Judith Karena. When I first arrived Judith had not been there long and all of the records and most of the databases of active and non-active volunteers were in disarray. I have spent a few months now trying to get everything into order. I feel as though I am finally starting to make some headway and work out who we have here and who doesn't volunteer anymore.
I enjoy working at the Museum because there is such a good team working around you. Whether in the office or out and about on site. For me personally it has been able to give me a certain amount of my life back. Being able to go into the office and work with the ladies and gents. There always seems to be something new on my desk when I come in and it always seems to challenge what I can do. If I cannot do it then it means I will learn new skills.
What have you gained from your time volunteering at the Museum and what do you hope to achieve during the rest of your time with us?
For me working in the office I have managed to refresh my computer skills but also learn new ones. I have gained a lot of experience working in the office. I have not worked in an office environment like this before so it has been a good experience. In the rest of my time here I look forward to enhancing my computer skills even more but more so than that I would like to continue to challenge myself with the work that I take on. There is always something to do in the office so there is always something new for me to try out.
What would you say to someone who is considering volunteering at RAFM?
For anyone thinking about volunteering in a place such as the Museum I would definitely say go for it! Yes it's nice because you can claim back some of your expenses but more than that you get to meet so many new people. People that may have come from all walks of life. There are a lot of retirees that volunteer at the Museum. A lot of them have got so much time: not only to help you learn, but also to help progress any skills you may already have; give you advice and, best of all, a lot of them have got so many stories to tell, if you are willing to listen.


Recently, the alleged Germanwings airline pilot suicide/mass murder incident has sparked academic and industry interest in the relationship between mental illness, work, and company management. While much of the early discussion focused on the direct and indirect ("hidden") costs of mental illness to organizations and society as a whole, attention appears now to be shifting towards developing appropriate strategy and tactics to manage mental health issues at work from a Human Resources perspective. This paper identifies several problems in the Lufthansa/Germanwings crisis communications management approach, which appear to have exacerbated – instead of alleviating – the negative effects of the disaster on their business reputation and brand. Then, based on the lessons drawn from a review of the related literature, the authors make a number of recommendations on how to strategically manage business communications during similar crises attributed to mental health issues and – in the long-run – frame the debate in a manner that will allow organizations to successfully bridge the gap between their "wounded" (actual) and desired corporate brand images.

Baccarat is a well known casino game that began to receive a fairly large amount of popularity a couple of years ago, mostly in Asia. Though not it is played by all kinds of players and across the world – in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, in Europe, Australia or Macau. Baccarat is most popular among the highest of high-rollers. These are people who are a part of the highest tier of businessman and entrepreneurship most of the time and they gamble for millions.
So we have figured out the fact that the game of Baccarat is played by those who like to gamble for high stakes, commonly referred to as "high-rollers" within the gambling world. Though, you don't actually have to travel abroad in order to play Baccarat, since that is now offered by pretty much any online casino site, such as VegasParadise, JackpotParadise or JackpotCity. I honestly don't think there are all that many casinos NOT offering this game as a part of their offerings.
The Player – a wager on the player side to get a hand with higher point score dealt. Pays out at even money odds of 1 to 1.
The Banker – a wager on the banker side to get a hand with higher point score value dealt. Pays out at even money odds with a 5% commission – 0.95 to 1.
A Tie – a wager on both sides to receive an equally valued hand. Pays out at 7 to 1.
So these are three wager types that you can bet on in Baccarat before any cards are dealt. Though, you are still unaware on how hand values are calculated right? You will be able to play even without knowing this though, since the dealer will always keep you informed about it throughout the game, but for obvious reasons, it's always great to have some awareness for security purposes.
Deuces to Tens – face value.
So in order to determine the point value of a single hand, simply sum the value of each card and take the rightmost number into account. Lets take a look at an example where you get two nines dealt. What is the value of your hand? No, it's not really 18, since the highest possible value in the game is 9 points. The value of two nines is 8 points, since the sum is 18 points and you only should take the rightmost digit into account. That was easy right? So is playing this game!
There also are pretty complicated drawing rules, but you definitely don't need to learn these, regardless of whether you are looking to play in an online or land based gambling environment. Either the dealer or software will be programmed and aware of these and will follow them at all times!
VegasParadise.com is an amazing gambling site with great game variety, bonuses, customer support and what makes them my favorites – very quick withdrawals. You can get a withdrawal as quickly as within a few hours from the moment you've made a deposit! In terms of games, Baccarat games developed by MicroGaming, Thunderkick and NYX are all offered, including a Microgaming powered live dealer variation. Join now and claim a $200 welcome bonus and try one of the best casinos online!
Jackpot Paradise Casino is a great option and alternative if you aren't a fan of offerings from VegasParadise for whatever reason. These "guys" offer also MicroGaming, NYX powered casino games and have loads to offer, including their many jackpots and land based live dealer studio, which also allows them to offer live dealer Baccarat. Regular games of theirs, including online Baccarat, include a couple of game types and variations that should greatly fit exactly what you're looking for. Join now and claim a VIP opening bonus, all the way up to $200!
This will be a small introduction towards live casinos and Baccarat offered by them. The live dealer technology is what allows brick & mortar gambling experience be brought to personal computers and lately even mobile phones and tablets. HD cameras are set up along with tables and dealers, just like in a regular playing environment. The only difference here is that none is sitting at the tables and playing, but instead dealers are captured and streamed to online players, who can join tables as well as play the games offered directly from their portable devices! It's a truly extraordinary experience! Try it out at either of the two casinos I have presented you with above!


Game designer Ron Gilbert is best known for his crucial role in classic adventure games at LucasArts, where he co-authored the SCUMM graphic adventure tool and birthed seminal releases such as Maniac Mansion, the particularly fan-beloved The Secret of Monkey Island 1 and 2, and Day Of The Tentacle.
Following his co-founding of Humongous Entertainment, which had notable kids' game success with the Freddi Fish and Putt-Putt titles, as well as his nurturing of Chris Taylor's Total Annihilation at sister firm Cavedog, he stepped back from those firms and into a consultant career.
More recently, he has been thrust back into the spotlight, in a small way, thanks to the success of Hothead's recent Penny Arcade Adventures for the PC and Xbox Live Arcade, which he worked on and which transforms the popular web comic into an episodic adventure/RPG. His own DeathSpank - based on an online comic he helped create - is now confirmed to be Hothead's next episodic game project.
Gilbert, in fact, is a major supporter of episodic gaming, and here talks about his role as creative director at Hothead Games, his belief in that format, bringing back lapsed gamers with these games, and how the Hollywood production system might just be inevitable for the video game industry.
What have you been up to the past couple of years?
Ron Gilbert: The last couple years I've been doing a lot of consulting; I do a lot of game design consulting with companies. I've been consulting on those Penny Arcade games that Hothead is working on. I've done some consulting on a large MMO that's yet to be announced.
I've been doing a lot of that, but I think the main thing that I've been doing is working on the game design for DeathSpank. I've been working on it for probably close to four years. But it's just kind of been this background thing, which both Clayton [Kauzlaric] and I have been working on.
And what is Clayton's role, exactly? He, obviously, works with you on the comics on your blog, but how did you get involved with him, and what exactly does he do on the project?
RG: Well I've known Clayton since, probably, 1996. He used to work with me at Cavedog, and he was the lead artist on Total Annihilation, and he was the lead designer on Total Annihilation: Kingdoms. And we're just great friends, and we've always done creative things together, and we decided to do these little animated comics on my Grumpy Gamer blog.
So Clayton and I just worked on those, and I did some of the writing, and he did the art and animations for them. And one of the characters that was created for the comic was the character DeathSpank. He was kind of a parody, and a satirical look at games' heroes, and how seriously games seem to take them.
And so he and I just created this character, and as we created it, we started to think, "You know, he'd be really fun in a game." So we just started working on some game designs, and story, and building up this world. He and I have just worked on that together.
Is he actually out there at Hothead with you?
RG: No, he's the creative director at Gas Powered Games right now. So his involvement is just kind of casual, and we continue to talk about stuff and work out story and designs, but he's not involved with the project full-time.
At Hothead, I assume you're involved in a sort of general sense with the company, in addition to your own projects, since previously you were consulting already on the Penny Arcade games.
RG: Yeah, I'm the creative director here, as well as running the DeathSpank project. So, here, I oversee all of the projects from a creative standpoint: working with the designers, brainstorming with them, and helping them out whenever they need my help, and dealing with external projects that might come in, and those types of things.
So as far as your project goes, do you want to just give a run-down on what that's all about?
RG: Sure, sure. DeathSpank is an episodic RPG that's been described as a combination of Monkey Island-style storytelling and adventure, kind of melded with a very light Diablo-style RPG gameplay.
DeathSpank is a kind of over-enthusiastic hero that often does more damage than he does good, when he comes in to help people out with things. And, as his name suggests, the game's really a satirical look at gaming's heroes, and how seriously games tend to take them. I just really wanted to poke fun at that kind of stuff with him.
How contiguous are the episodes going to be, from release to release? Is it one overarching story, or will the episodes be more independent?
RG: Each of the episodes is very independent. There is some larger story context going on, but the story episodes are very short little completely self-contained stories.
They're really meant to be played in any order - you could play number five, and then play number one, and then play number four - so the order you play them is really kind of irrelevant.
What led to the Diablo influence?
RG: Well I think it's because, mostly, I love Diablo. I've played lots, and it's been a style of game that I've really liked. And it's kind of strange, because I really have not found a game since Diablo that I really have liked playing; you know, that kind of action RPG stuff. They did so many things so well with that game, and I think a lot of people have come along and tried to imitate them, and I think they've really missed the core of what was fun about that stuff.
RG: I'm also a big WoW player, and I really like that kind of structure of games. I like that whole "paper doll" thing, where you build up characters, and put equipment on them, and give them new weapons. That's just a lot of fun, and kind of why I wanted to do that. And I think that kind of stuff could meld really well with an adventure game, because I think those two play modes really complement each other well.

}

Can someone let me know how can I fix this?

A: You are inheriting from GlassView<Related_Content> Glass loads the model automatically if your rendering is on context item.
If you want to pass the model from controller don't inherit from Glass view instead use
@model Related_Content
By looking at your code, your are passing data source to your view. if you are inheriting from Glass View, It will loads the data source into the model.

Home at last? The journeyman ex-Arsenal bagsman finally making his mark at Boro
7 January 2023, 3:32 am ·8-min read
Chuba Akpom celebrates scoring for Middlesbrough. Credit: Alamy
Chuba Akpom bobbed around the divisions and popped up across Europe after leaving Arsenal. Now he finally seems to have hit his straps on Teesside. Johnny Nic is a fan…
Who's this then?
Chuba Amechi Akpom is a six-feet-tall, Canning Town-born, 27-year-old striker who currently tops the goalscoring charts in the Championship for the noble institution that calls itself Middlesbrough FC with 13 goals in 20 games so far.
He got his start in football at Arsenal, joining the club aged just six and making his debut for the Under-18s when only 15 and was well-regarded enough to sign professional forms with them when 17. Indeed, he was hailed as The Next Big Thing
In 2012 the Daily Mail had him down as one of the youngsters who would make a big impact at the 2022 World Cup along with Jordan Ibe and Jack Butland. Prediction is mug's game, but it does show that he was looked upon as one of the brightest talents coming through.
However, despite this, he couldn't actually break through to the Arsenal first team, apart from the occasional appearance in the League Cup and as a substitute, he made only 12 appearances over five seasons for the Gunners. For the most of that time he was out on loan. However, he did bag two FA Cup winners medals for being part of the winning squad in 2013-14 and 2014-15.
In 2013-14 he went to Brentford and then Coventry for four and six games respectively without netting a goal. The following campaign he went to Nottingham Forest for seven games but didn't score. However his next loan was at Hull City where he played 42 games and this time he scored seven goals and did make an impact.
However, no-one could say his career was going brilliantly at this point. His early promise as an academy player was not being fulfilled.
He made his England Under-21 debut in 2016 against Norway. The 2016-17 season saw him at Brighton for 10 games and again no goals, though they did finish runners-up in the Championship. So he made a sensible decision to leave the country and headed to Belgium and Sint-Truiden. He scored six times in 16 appearances for them before PAOK came in for him and took him to Greece for a couple of seasons. Here at least he got a good run in the team and scored 18 in 79 games winning Super League Greece and the Greek Cup in 2018–19. He won the MVP for the Greek Cup too. Now he was making a significant impact and putting some silverware in the trophy cabinet.
And this was what attracted Boro to him in 2020. Steve Gibson coughed up £2.5million for his services. However, his first season's five goals in 39 games impressed no-one and the club sent him back on loan to PAOK where he played in 52 games and scored 11 goals. His Boro career looked as dead in the water as all those fish, crabs and lobsters washed up at the mouth of the Tees.
But the future is always unknown and anything is possible and Chuba, now 26 years of age at the start of this season, on his return from Greece to Teesside, began to score like never before, especially when Michael Carrick took over. The player Arsenal thought was a great prospect emerged and all his early teenage promise suddenly seems to have come to fruition. He's got 13 goals in 20 games so far, after 288 career appearances and 60 goals for nine clubs, scoring a hat-trick against Wigan on Boxing Day. God loves a journeyman.
Why the love?
Since Carrick took over as Boro boss, he has played Chuba in a slightly deeper role, off the main striker. This has meant he's gotten more involved in the game, has been part of the build-up to goals and has also been holding the ball up really well. He'd scored four before Carrick's arrival, nine after, so it does appear that this tweak to where he's required to play has made all of the difference.
He seems to be a confidence player who just wants to be loved. The better he plays and the more he scores, the more the fans have grown to love him. He has reciprocated, is active on social media and generally seems to be loving life like never before, as a footballer.
Previously at Middlesbrough, he'd been bought by Neil Warnock, who seems to have gone cold on him quite quickly. Chris Wilder didn't fancy him either and he was training with the Under-23s. He wasn't even given a squad number initially but then Wilder struggled to get strikers in, so Chuba came in from the cold for the start of the season, although he probably still felt he was a stop-gap. Then he got injured. By the time he returned, Carrick was in charge, and it seems clear he has put an arm round him, given him a game and talked him up, saying the whole club just want to see Chuba smile. And to be fair, it has paid off in spades. Proof that football is at least as much about where your head's at, as it is where your feet are at.
It is noticeable how often he scores with his first touch. There's no dwelling on the ball, no taking a touch to control, just BAM! Now, that is a classic sign of a confident player. The doubter takes a second touch and weighs up their options and then loses the opportunity.
Previously, most of his goals were right-footed strikes, but this season six have been left-footed. Perhaps he's been working on that too.
A long-time observer and Boro sage who always has great insight to all things Middlesbrough says: "Once he got a few you could see him come alive. Now he is demanding it all the time and with the team creating more chances (check those xG stats!) He is getting a lot of shots off. But he doesn't just wait for the ball to be put on a plate, he works hard, does his share of the digging and sparks attacks too. He looks the business now. It is remarkable really. A week before the season he didn't have a squad number and everyone expected him to be back off to Greece. Now he is a crowd hero and the Champo top scorer."
His transformation of form is one of the more remarkable stories of recent years. When someone has played as a striker for nine clubs in 10 years and not been especially prolific at any of them, it's natural enough to think what he can offer is set in stone. And it usually is, but not in Chuba's case. Chuba is, if anything, getting better and better.
Three Great Moments
Arsenal's new Thierry Henry? Not quite
The first time strikes against Wigan…
Good enough for England Under-21 in 2017…
Future days?
An extension clause in Middlesbrough's favour, effectively means Chuba has another 18 months to run on his current contract. Given his failures in the past, the club is obviously going to be wary of this just being a one-off purple patch. They may also worry that it is the pressure of being in the last year of his contract (if Boro hadn't taken up their option) that is driving him on to new heights.
However, that is to be somewhat cynical. And it's not been the case previously. He has no form for such convenient performances. Not every player bursts on the scene at 18 and is immediately fantastic and some don't respond well to the pressure of being marked out as a future star. Maybe that explains his slow start. If Akpom can keep this form up, he can have a really successful second half of his career.
This great form of course comes with a downside – transfer rumours – not least because so far he's hardly been the sort of player to break any club's bank and presumably could be bought for relatively little. Reports suggest a couple of Bundesliga clubs are interested as well as Everton, Crystal Palace and Southampton. I doubt he'd go to Goodison or St Mary's as both clubs are absolute basket cases. He surely owes Boro at least the rest of this season at least and if that ends in promotion via the play-offs, why move at all?
Boro have needed a 20 league-goal striker for the longest time and haven't had one since Bernie Slaven in 1989-90, so he has the opportunity to make some sort of history at the Riverside. Why would anyone turn that down after wanting to find a home for so long?
He's been a great prospect for 10 years, could everything finally be coming up Chuba? Boro certainly hope so.

4. The School in winter 1912. Note that what are now large trees had been planted in 1911 to commemorate the Coronation of King George V.
Penny recalls the curriculum concentrated on the 3 Rs with a bit of History and Geography. Little science, but two days a week children could ask General Knowledge questions of Chas E (Weston) such as how cameras worked.
One of the children would go to Wear's farm (Little Court) and get milk which was ladled out for each child. There was no kitchen then and most went home for lunch.
The heating stoves in the classroom had pots of boiling water sat on top and Penny remembers putting plasticine on a stick and holding the stick in the water to warm up the plasticine.
Children sat in desks with a bench seat attached.

Q: Plot points over contour - Matplotlib / Python I'm trying to plot some points over a contour using Matplotlib.
I have scalar field from which I want to plot the contour.
However, my ndarray has a dimension 0 x 20, but my real space varies from -4 to 4.
I can plot this contour using this piece of code:
x, y = numpy.mgrid[-4:4:20*1j, -4:4:20*1j]

# Draw the scalar field level curves
cs = plt.contour(scalar_field, extent=[-4, 4, -4, 4])
plt.clabel(cs, inline=1, fontsize=10)

The problem is 'cause I have to plot some points over this plot, and this points are obtained using the ndarray, i.e., I get points varying as this array dimension.
I tried to plot these points using this code:
def plot_singularities(x_dim, y_dim, steps, scalar_field, min_points, max_points, file_path):
    """
    :param x_dim : the x dimension of the scalar field
    :param y_dim : the y dimension of the scalar field
    :param steps : the discretization of the scalar field
    :param file_path : the path to save the data
    :param scalar_field : the scalar_field to be plot
    :param min_points : a set (x, y) of min points of the scalar field
    :param max_points : a set (x, y) of max points of the scalar field
    """
    min_points_x = min_points[0]
    min_points_y = min_points[1]
    max_points_x = max_points[0]
    max_points_y = max_points[1]

    plt.figure()

    x, y = numpy.mgrid[-x_dim:x_dim:steps*1j, -y_dim:y_dim:steps*1j]

    # Draw the scalar field level curves
    cs = plt.contour(scalar_field, extent=[-x_dim, x_dim, -y_dim, y_dim])
    plt.clabel(cs, inline=1, fontsize=10)

    # Draw the min points
    plt.plot(min_points_x, min_points_y, 'ro')

    # Draw the max points
    plt.plot(max_points_x, max_points_y, 'bo')

    plt.savefig(file_path + '.png', dpi=100)
    plt.close()

But I got this image:

Which is not correct.
If I change this line:
cs = plt.contour(scalar_field, extent=[-x_dim, x_dim, -y_dim, y_dim])

For that one:
cs = plt.contour(scalar_field)

I get the desired behavior, but the extents doesn't show my real data space, but the ndarray dimension.
At last, if I don't plot these points (comment the plot() lines), I can the extents that I want:

But I have to plot the points.
Both data are in the same space.
But the contour() function allows me to specify the grid.
I could found a manner to do this when plotting the points.
How can I properly set the extents?

A: If you don't provide x and y data corresponding to the scalar field, contour uses integer values up to the size of the array. That is why the axes are displaying the dimension of the array. The parameters extent should give the minimum and maximum x and y values; I assume this is what you mean by "data space." So the call to contour would be:
contour(scalar_field,extent=[-4,4,-4,4])

This can be reproduced by specifying x and y data:
contour(numpy.linspace(-4,4,20),numpy.linspace(-4,4,20),scalar_field)

Then the contour looks exactly as in your first plot. I assume the reason this is incorrect because the min and max points are not in the right places. Based on the info you gave, this is because min_points and max_points which you pass to your function are indices to the array scalar_field, so they correspond to integers, not the actual x and y values. Try to use these indices to access the x and y points by defining:
x=numpy.linspace(-4,4,20)
y=numpy.linspace(-4,4,20)

For example, if you have a min point of (0,1), it would correspond to (x[0], y[1]). I think a similar thing can be done with the mgrid, but I've never used that myself.

A: You want to plot both the contour and the points in the real data space, yes?  plt.contour will take x and y values associated with the 2d array you have, and will plot on axes correctly.
xvals = -x_dim:x_dim:step  # I'm not sure about these ... but you get the idea
yvals = -y_dim:y_dim_step
plt.contour(xvals, yvals, scalar_field)

Celebrate gender equality...and Barbie at 60
By Emma Clayton EmmaC_TandA Leisure and Lifestyle Editor
It has taken years for military nurses to be recognised. Picture: Pixabay
INTERNATIONAL Women's Day didn't mean much to Joan Chandler, aged 15 and leaving school in the late 1950s.
It certainly didn't mean anything to her father, who sent her straight to work in a local mill, as her older siblings had done.
But Joan had other plans. "When I walked out of that school yard, I knew I wanted to be a nurse," she said.
And that is what she became - training initially at a local hospital then joining the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps. Aged just 17, the girl who had never been further than Keighley was posted to Singapore, treating men with horrific injuries stretchered in from Malayan battlefields.
Joan nursed in military hospitals for 20 years. But her career would never have happened if she hadn't stood up to her father. "I worked one year in the mill then I put my foot down and told him I was going to be a nurse," she said. "In those days you obeyed your father, but I was determined. I knew nursing was the job for me - and I knew there was a big world I wanted to see. If I hadn't stood up to my father, I'd have spent my life in Ingrow Mill."
I met Joan yesterday and she told me about her carer as a nurse, and the horrors she encountered on the front line, dealing with men, often terrified and traumatised, many with lost limbs. Like many women who served in Army nursing corps, she feels her work was undervalued. "It was the men who got all the praise. As nurses, we were ignored because we weren't combatant," she said. "But we were there when the men were brought in, we nursed them, got them better. "
When Joan was posted back to the UK, after illness cut her Singapore career short, it was soldiers she had treated, in the higher ranks, who told her: 'You shouldn't be here anyway.'
Now 76, Joan says: "It has taken years and years, but now I finally feel recognised. It's been a long time coming, to accept that girls of my generation played such a vital role in conflict."
Today, of course, women have a range of career opportunities in the forces. Women have more equality than ever before, in the workplace and at home, in a way Joan could never have imagined, born during the war, growing up in a Pennine village, one of seven children ruled by their father.
Tomorrow International Women's Day will highlight how far women have come over the century since the concept was launched. It's a day of protest, celebration, reflection - it's even a public holiday in some countries. This year's theme is #BalanceforBetter, aimed at building a "gender-balanced world".
The fight for equality is far from over - most women will have encountered some form of discrimination at work or elsewhere, and if they haven't, they're lucky - but we have far more of the world at our feet than women of previous generations.
Like Joan, my aunts were sent to work in a mill straight from school. One of them, a bright grammar schoolgirl and a gifted artist, would've been good enough to go to art school if she was born into a different class or at a different time. She's 81 now, and still feels bitter that she was denied that opportunity.
Women continue to rage about inequality, and so we should, but we must also celebrate what we have. And as well as paying tribute to high-profile trailblazers we should recognise women like Joan Chandler who, in standing up to her father, achieved a small victory with a ripple effect. Without her defiance, her younger sister would have followed her into the mill. Instead, she joined the RAF.
* Barbie at 60 - forever the independent career girl
HAPPY Birthday Barbie, who turns 60 this month. Created by former Mattell president Ruth Handler, as an alternative to baby dolls for her daughters to play with, Barbie remains one of the most popular children's toys.
She's been no stranger to controversy over the years, not least for her weight-to-height ratio. Now there are various Barbies, from plus-size Barbie to prosthetic limb Barbie.
My Barbie doll was tiny-waisted, glamorous and all-American, and I wouldn't have wanted her any other way. But she was no bimbo. Barbie was introduced in 1959 as a career girl, and to little girls like me that was her appeal. She wasn't mumsy or girl-next-door (Sindy), she had an air of independence. Barbie could be anything she wanted to be - long may she continue.
* Tooth agony is driving me to extraction...
I HAD a tooth out a week ago and am still in pain. It didn't hurt much when the tooth was yanked out, but I've spent every day, and night, since in chronic pain. I feel like I've had five minutes' sleep, which has left me grumpy, weepy and raging at the world.
I remember my grandma telling me that she and my grandad had all their teeth taken out when they were in their early thirties. It was commonplace among pre-war working-class folk who couldn't afford dental treatment.
After the hellish week I've had, I think there's a lot to be said for that...
Form an orderly queue, please...it's fun
Bossy Alexa has no place in my house
Why is everywhere so dog friendly?
Sorry George, but let's not do lunch
Be our guest - but at what cost?
Time to stop being so awkward around dementia
Class, not gender, is thorniest issue at Baftas
Welcome to the world...but will we treasure Instagram posts?

25 Years of Leaderships: Alumni Feature of Shanna Woods
In the summer of 1999, Elsie Churchill, who had recently relocated to Minneapolis from Chicago, noticed a group of neighborhood youth working in a garden right below her 16th floor window in the Charles Horn Towers. As a seasoned community organizer, it was a natural instinct for her to investigate – after all, she was eager to connect to her new South Minneapolis home.
With the help of her eight-year-old granddaughter, Shanna, Elsie discovered that these youth were part of a program called Youth Farm. Every day throughout the summer they would tend to the Charles Horn Towers' garden and then, when their produce was ready to harvest, they would sell it at neighborhood markets. Elsie and Shanna hadn't seen anything like this before, and Shanna begged her grandma to get involved. At the time, neither of them knew what impact this neighborhood garden program would have on Shanna's life.
From eight to 24, Shanna made her way through every stage of Youth Farm's program, eventually also serving as an interim program director and board member. After 21 years, her passion for the program has never faded.
"During my time at Youth Farm I felt so at home," Shanna said. "I had grown up eating collard greens and sweet potatoes and, when I entered the gardens, I saw those things growing. At program we would cook them together and, in the same respect, we would cook and explore the culinary experiences of other cultures. In a time before diversity, equity, and inclusion were buzz words, Youth Farm was already doing those things. As a young black girl, I felt represented and heard. I felt like my culture mattered and I became responsive to the cultures of others as well. By growing in this way together, the people at Youth Farm quickly became my family."
Not only did Shanna begin to connect with the people in her neighborhood, she also began to connect with her abilities as a leader.
"Year after year I kept coming back to Youth Farm because it truly made me feel important," Shanna said. "When I was younger I struggled with self-confidence. I never thought I would be a leader and I would often doubt my ability to accomplish big tasks, but everyone at Youth Farm pushed me and never let me give up. At the age of 15 I was sitting with companies working on budgets, evaluating farm management systems, and putting what I had learned in the garden into real world decisions."
Like many children, Shanna was upset when her family had to uproot her life in the Lyndale neighborhood and move to Brooklyn Center. At first, Shanna was resentful of the move. She had found something in Lyndale that she thought she couldn't find anywhere else. Soon enough though, her resentment turned into motivation.
"My move to Brooklyn Center didn't cut my time at Youth Farm short," Shanna said. "I was still just as involved as I was before, but eventually I knew that I had to connect to my new neighborhood as well. Youth Farm taught me that there are unique opportunities in every area, but oftentimes you have to seek them out. I became involved with Friends of the Library and Earth Fest in Brooklyn Center and eventually gained a fresh perspective on my new home."
Now in her late 20s, Shanna recently graduated from Metropolitan State University with a degree in social science with an emphasis in political science. She has taken her experience and education into her career and currently works as an employment coach at Lifetrack in St. Paul.
"Throughout the years, Youth Farm has impacted many of my decisions. I have maintained jobs in the nonprofit sector, continued to use the outdoors as a space for reflection and connection, and taken on many community organizing and sustainability opportunities," Shanna said. "I, like many others, have stayed connected to Youth Farm because this organization refuses to sell out. No opportunities will ever be pursued that don't benefit youth - programs are personalized, responsive, and effective."
Shanna has been an integral part of the Youth Farm family and it is clear to see how the organization has shaped her life. However, one special person deserves an outpouring of credit for her success. Elsie Churchill was much more than Shanna's grandmother, she was a shining example of a strong black woman who connected her community and led the way for others, like Shanna, to follow in her footsteps.

The New Era of Sports Games on Android Phones
in: Android Betting Fantasy Sports Games Mobile Phone Online Betting Online Games Smartphone Sports Sports Betting
Video games in the sports genre allow players to immerse themselves in a fictional universe where they can act out their favorite athletic idols' most remarkable moments.
Once upon a time, having the most up-to-date gaming console or a powerful gaming PC was required to play the most recent sports video games.
The New Era of Sports Games on Android Phones: eAskme
However, gone are those days as the era of sports games on android phones has reached.
It is optional to have lots of betting applications on your phone to enjoy some sports games.
Both free and paid games are available for your android phone, with the paid ones often featuring more content.
Let's look at some of the popular android sports games.
Fifa Mobile 22:
In October 2016, after considerable anticipation, EA Sports released the first iteration of FIFA Mobile.
FIFA Mobile 22 has the most authentic tournaments, teams, and footballers of any soccer game.
The 2022 version features updated visuals, a refined gameplay mechanic, and a reworked transfer market.
For those who enjoy wagering, there are legitimate online casinos that welcome mobile wagers.
Online gambling has flourished with the introduction of smartphones and the general improvement of internet connectivity.
This has made it easy to access betting sites like mr bet login;, which allows you to place wagers on ongoing soccer matches easily from your phone.
ML 9 Innings 22:
The latest installment of MLB's official video game simulation series is a must-have for every baseball fan.
Since it's the official baseball game authorized by Major League Baseball and MLB Players Inc., it is the league's official representation in the video game industry.
Play solo, get some pals, and hit the park, or go on the internet and participate in rated multiplayer battles. It's entirely up to you.
The makers put in a lot of effort so that you can play the game with just one hand, making it ideal for gaming on your Android phone while you're out and about.

# Operation Modes

By setting the `Linear` property of **RadStepper** you can determine whether the Stepper will force the user to follow the Steps sequence or not.

 - When set to "true" (by default), the user is allowed to select any Step of the Stepper regardless of the current selection.

 - When set to "false", the user is allowed to select only the Steps right before or after the currently selected Step. Skipping a step is not possible in this case.

The below example demonstrates the difference in both modes:

![Operation modes - Linear vs Non-linear](../images/stepper-functionality-operation-modes.gif)

Sample declaration to achieve the non-linear behavior shown above:

````ASP.NET
<telerik:RadStepper runat="server" ID="RadStepper1" Linear="false">
    <Steps>
        <telerik:StepperStep Label="First Step" />
        <telerik:StepperStep Label="Second Step" />
        <telerik:StepperStep Label="Third Step" />
        <telerik:StepperStep Label="Step Four" />
        <telerik:StepperStep Label="Last Step" />
    </Steps>
</telerik:RadStepper>
````
