Rami Malek is best known for playing the twitchy coder at the center of hacker TV series Mr. Robot, but for his latest film, Bohemian Rhapsody, he transforms into Freddie Mercury, the frontman of Queen, famous for his confidence and charismatic and colorful stage presence.
The 37-year-old actor has already earned critical acclaim for his performance in the Fox rock musical, which traces Mercury's rise to stardom leading up to Queen's legendary reunion at Live Aid in 1985. Malek spoke to THR about how he learned to walk in a rock star's shoes, what makes this film (which has earned north of $384 million to date worldwide) so timely and how he dealt with the unexpected exit of director Bryan Singer, who was fired before the film wrapped.
How did you end up getting involved with the project?
I had a six-hour meeting with [producers] Graham King and Denis O'Sullivan in Los Angeles. Denis had been watching Mr. Robot and I don't know from how or why he thought that someone like Elliot, the debilitatingly socially anxious, profoundly alienated human being, was going to be the right decision to throw Freddie Mercury at. But I think when they met me they saw that I was, in fact, not Elliot Alderson. I never quite believed it. Walking out that door, I thought, "OK, this is Hollywood, you never know." There've been other actors involved.
Did you immediately want to take on this role, or did you have any trepidation about it?
I'll be honest: Immediately there was no reservation whatsoever. It was pure elation and euphoria. And then the reservations kicked in. What I knew I needed was time because you're asking me to embody and encapsulate a human being who is, quite honestly, otherworldly. He is almost superhuman. He walks onstage with a cape and a crown, and he might as well be the Marvel character of rock stars.
What did you need to do to transform into him?
I asked Graham for singing lessons, piano lessons. And what I really knew I needed was to capture his spontaneity. The man's not choreographed. Every time he steps out onto a stage, no one knows what he's going to do, and that's what I knew I needed to tether myself to. In order to do that, I realized, I can't work with a choreographer, I need someone to help me with movement, someone to help me discover the impetus for why he does what he does. Why every flick of the wrist occurs with him in such an elegant, sometimes dainty and sometimes aggressive way, depending on his mood. I just had to find his humanity — what his conflicts were — and discover all the sides of him, because I knew there was more to Freddie Mercury than a man who holds an audience in the palm of his hand. But I had to get that down as well.
How much time did you end up getting to prepare for the shoot?
Almost a year. But here's the other thing: I also had to go shoot the third season of Mr. Robot during all of that, which was quite a daunting task. I actually found a picture of Elliot Alderson with the teeth of Freddie Mercury the other day and it kind of made my brain explode. One cool thing, when we had wrapped season three of Mr. Robot, they knew within two weeks I was going to start shooting [Bohemian Rhapsody]. [Showrunner] Sam Esmail says, "Give me something." So as we wrapped that day, I did a little spin in my hoodie and flipped my leg up in the air like a dancer. The whole crew erupted in laughter because they've never seen that out of Elliot.
When it came to costume, hair and makeup, physically what was the most important key to helping you find the character?
[Makeup and hair artist] Jan Sewell is a magician. She did Eddie Redmayne's makeup for The Theory of Everything. She is a wonder and a gift and she got the look as close as she could. And then Julian Day put me in costumes for hours upon hours and I thought, "Rami, this is rehearsal time. You go in there and when you're trying on clothes, you try them on as Freddie Mercury. Don't just think what's the most outlandish or audacious, think about what's going to move well onstage. Think about all the elements of putting on a spectacle as he would." So I would keep the makeup on that Jan gave me and sometimes a wig, sometimes a mustache and I used it as playtime. Everybody got a kick out of having this version of Freddie Mercury try on clothes for six hours a day. It was rehearsal because I thought this was an environment he would have been in.
Some of the original Queen bandmembers consulted on the film. Was there anything they didn't want to show or didn't want to be part of this story?
I never got that impression. I will say this: They would love to deliver the entire Freddie Mercury story, but we have two hours. And in those two hours I know that those men want to celebrate Freddie's life, and there was definitely a cognizant effort not to make this a hedonistic, salacious film. I think we all would have loved to show more of Freddie's relationship with Jim [Hutton] toward the end of his life. That relationship is absolutely gorgeous, and if I had it my way, boy, would I love to tack on another hour to this film and fill in a few gaps. It's never going to be perfect in fulfilling the story of a man who we could make countless documentaries about and countless miniseries about.
What about his life and who he was did you most want to show in the film?
Ultimately I think you have to shine a light on certain aspects of his life, to show how defiant he was as an artist and what stereotypes he destroyed. He, and the band, they brought down every convention of what music should be and how human beings should act in public. He's a revolutionary in that he just refused to be segregated or marginalized in any way. I know there's always going to be polarizing aspects to this film. There's no way around it. You can do the other version of this film, but we needed to focus on a finite period of time and we always wanted to bookend the film with [the] Live Aid [concert]. So it provided some obstacles that were difficult to navigate.
Do you feel like there's any other part of this story that is especially timely for right now?
The word "revolutionary" comes to me all the time. I think he was someone who never hid who he was, but he didn't want to become a poster child for anyone's cause. He did things on his own terms and was true to himself. That's what new generations will identify with, his defiant spirit. I think he'd like society today. People, they're just so much more than their sexuality — it's not a label that defines who a person is or who they're going to be. For Freddie, he lived by his mantra and he didn't want to be segregated or marginalized — just appreciated for his authentic self.
How did Bryan Singer's exit from this movie while it was still shooting affect you as an actor?
Ultimately, I'm proud of the way I conducted myself throughout this film. I can say that every day I got up with the intention of honoring this man's story, doing justice to it, and that put me in a position of leadership that I treasure. I learned so much from the experience, not only of obviously playing this man, attempting to fill his shoes, but you know, hopefully he would appreciate the way I approached persevering through every moment, putting myself in a role of leadership and taking on the weight of that as well. It was an evolution not only for me as an actor but as a human being. I hope that doesn't come off as self-aggrandizing.

For any properly enthusiastic movie critic or movie lover, a great film festival is the Perk of Perks. It's the grand cinematic banquet or smorgasbord on their schedule, and hopefully more of a Babette's Feast than a Grand Bouffe. At its best, a first-rate filmfest makes the rest of the year, and most of the rest of the year's movies, worth the trouble.

It shows how out of it I was in trying to be in it, acknowledging that I was out of it to myself, and then thinking, "Okay, how do I stop being out of it? Well, I get some legitimate illogical narrative ideas" — some novel, you know?
So I decided on three writers that I might be able to option their material and get some producer, or myself as producer, and then get some writer to do a screenplay on it, and maybe make a movie.
And so the three projects were "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," "Naked Lunch" and a collection of Bukowski. Which, in 1975, forget it — I mean, that was nuts. Hollywood would not touch any of that, but I was looking for something commercial, and I thought that all of these things were coming.
There would be no Blade Runner if there was no Ray Bradbury. I couldn't find Philip K. Dick. His agent didn't even know where he was. And so I gave up.
I was walking down the street and I ran into Bradbury — he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled "hi" — and I'd forgot who he was.
So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey's urging — I was with her at that moment — she said, "Talk to him! That guy really wants to talk to you," and I said "No, fuck him," and keep walking.
But then I did, and then I realized who it was, and I thought, "Wait, he's in that realm, maybe he knows Philip K. Dick." I said, "You know a guy named—" "Yeah, sure — you want his phone number?"
My friend paid my rent for a year while I wrote, because it turned out we couldn't get a writer. My friends kept on me about, well, if you can't get a writer, then you write."
~ Hampton Fancher
"That was the most disappointing thing to me in how this thing was played. Is that I'm on the phone with you now, after all that's been said, and the fundamental distinction between what James is dealing with in these other cases is not actually brought to the fore. The fundamental difference is that James Franco didn't seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. There's not a case of that. He wasn't using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on. We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm. Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Is that not something notable to say, journalistically? Because nobody could find the voice to say it. I'm not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, "You know, it's not this, it's that"? Because — let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. Times piece, that's what it lacked. That's what they were not able to deliver. The one example in the five that involved an issue of a sexual act was between James and a woman he was dating, who he was not working with. There was no professional dynamic in any capacity.

Q: ASP.NET WebAPI OutputCache doesn't work We have two controllers with OutputCaching, one work fine, second one doesn't cache...
Example of working controller:
    [OutputCache(Duration = 1, VaryByParam = "idc,key")]
    public dynamic Get(string idc, string key)
    {

        string coins = idc;
        string size = key;
        try
        {
            Models.api.dicebets bets = new Models.api.dicebets();
            return bets.LastBets(coins, size);
        }
        catch
        {
            return Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, "Invalid request");
        }
    }

And example of similar controller with non-working OutpuCache:
    [OutputCache(Duration = 3)]
    public dynamic Get()
    {
        try
        {
            Models.api.dicebets bets = new Models.api.dicebets();
            return bets.HighRolls();
        }
        catch
        {
            return Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, "Invalid request");
        }
    }

I have already tried all combinations of OutputCache settings like:
[OutputCache(Duration = 3, VaryByParam = "None")]
[OutputCache(Duration = 3, VaryByParam = "*")]
[OutputCache(Duration = 3, VaryByParam = "")]

None seems to work....

World's End killer secures legal aid for appeal
Angus Sinclair is serving three life sentences. Picture: Vic Rodrick
VIC RODRICK
WORLD'S End killer Angus Sinclair has secured legal aid to mount an appeal against his conviction in Scotland's first double jeopardy case.
The 70-year-old was found guilty last year in a historic case of raping and murdering Christine Eadie and Helen Scott after abducting them from a Royal Mile pub in 1977.
He's not going anywhere, he doesn't have to do anything or pay a penny towards it, so why not?
Police source
The case finally brought relief to the victims' families who had waited 37 years for justice.
It also made Scottish legal history as the first successful prosecution under double jeopardy, which allowed Sinclair to be retried.
Sinclair has now been granted permission to challenge the jury's guilty verdict, as well as the life sentence that was imposed by the court.
It is understood that he will argue, as part of his appeal, that the judge misdirected the jury and imposed too harsh a sentence at the end of last year's trial.
A senior police source close to the World's End case said Sinclair had spent 50 years of his 70-year life in jail and was serving three life sentences.
He said: "He's not going anywhere, he doesn't have to do anything and he's not paying a penny piece towards it, so why not? He has nothing to lose by lodging fresh appeals and, I suppose, from a legal point of view the defence will want to rigorously test the conviction and try to test the double jeopardy legislation at the same time.
"The strength of the justice system is that someone like Sinclair, who obviously has no money to support him, can take up a case like this, but the downside is that it's at the public's expense."
A spokesman for the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh confirmed that Sinclair's appeal was now "live".
Although no date has been set for the appeal hearing before three judges, a single-judge procedural hearing will be held next month.
Sinclair is one of Scotland's most prolific sex offenders and serial killers. He served six years in jail for the sexual assault and culpable homicide of seven-year-old Catherine Greenhill in 1961.
Between 1978 and 1982 he raped and indecently assaulted 11 other young girls, some as young as six, and was eventually handed a life sentence.
Footage shows shocking moment Kylie Minogue fan is punched at Scottish gig
In 2001 he was found guilty of raping, strangling and stabbing to death 17-year-old Mary Gallacher 23 years earlier, and got a second life sentence.
He is currently serving a third life sentence for the World's End murders years ago and is expected to die in prison.
During the first World's End trial which collapsed in 2007, Sinclair was awarded legal aid worth £530,932; a further £108,592 was paid to Sinclair's solicitors to oppose the Crown's application to bring fresh proceedings against him following the alteration in the law over double jeopardy.
For the second World's End trial, in November last year, the Legal Aid bill to date totals £56,591.76, but a spokesman for the Scottish Legal Aid Board said final accounts had still not been submitted.

Manchester City 0-0 Dynamo Kiev
Photo: Валерий Дудуш Wikimedia Commons
Written on 16th March 2016 . Posted in Sport
It may be the second consecutive goalless draw for Manchester City, but this one ended on a much higher note than their outing at Norwich at the weekend—City made history tonight. The Blues finished the game as 3-1 winners on aggregate and entered the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. Although the game was not the greatest advert for the Champions League itself, the result will mean a lot to the City faithful.
If this game was a film…
The fall of the Berlin Wall, the Holy Roman Empire and VE Day have absolutely nothing on the history made by Manchester City today (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating). In recent years City have only made the round of sixteen twice, when they were dumped out of the competition by Barcelona. This year, however, there was a change of scenery for the Blues, as they finally got a more favourable draw. Dynamo Kiev were dispatched over two legs by City, resulting in this historic achievement. Fingers crossed now that Arsenal can beat Barcelona…
5th minute: INJURY. Vincent Kompany went to ground after pulling his calf again. Subbed off for Eliaquim Mangala, to a rapturous standing ovation. I have not seen a man look as gutted as Kompany since my Dad showed me his wedding picture.
22nd minute: INJURY. Nicolás Otamendi was the next to go, as the Argentinian made way for Martín Demichelis.
60th minute: POST. Yaya Touré played the ball out wide to Jesús Navas who struck it hard and low, but the ball clashed the far post.
86: PENALTY APPEAL. City got away with murder here, as a double penalty appeal was waved away. Fernando clumsily brought down a player in the box, which went unnoticed, and the resulting shot hits him on the arm. Kiev will have felt hard done by.
Stat of the Game
This was City's first clean sheet in ten games in the Champions League. Onwards and upwards!
Quote of the Presser
"When you have a new achievement, it is always important for your trust. I think that this season we are—I don't know if the word is better prepared—but more experienced."
—Manuel Pellegrini on City making history, and whether they can go further.
Injury Hell
Since his transfer in 2008, Vincent Kompany has gone from a cheap midfielder, to one of the best centre backs in European football, whilst most City fans consider him as one of the greatest players to have played for the team. It is because of this that it is so unfortunate that he has suffered so much with injuries in his time at City!
Kompany won City's Player of the Month award for February, as he impressed since his return from a calf injury—but the problem has recurred again, as Kompany hobbled off after five minutes of the match. He will be gutted, but his pre-match captain's notes in the match-day programme highlighted his personal battle with injuries, as he said that he will continue to fight.
When it rains—it pours. Kompany's recent successful performances have come partly due to a great understanding between him and Otamendi, as both play better alongside one another. So, when Otamendi hobbled off with a muscle injury as well, City fans will have been doubly concerned, as it's possible that there will only two fit centre-backs for the Manchester derby next Sunday.
Pellegrini said that Kompany will be out for a month at least, and that it is difficult to know if he will be out for the entirety of the rest of the season, however he noted that its possible Otamendi may be fit quicker and they will find out soon. Demichelis and Mangala are the only two official options for the team, however Bacary Sagna can also play centre-back and Mancunian Tosin Adarabioy would relish the chance to play against the city rivals.
Friday sees the all-important Champions League draw for the last eight. You'd like to think that City would be very happy with pulling out Wolfsburg or Benfica in the draw as these seem the easiest bets; however Manuel Pellegrini noted that "I think that when you are in this stage, any team is difficult." He went on to say that all the teams at this stage are the same… except Barcelona, who he thinks is the best.
I'm sure Pep Guardiola will not be happy about that one.
Fan Watch
After City's second choice goalkeeper saved three penalties at Wembley last month to help the Blues lift the Capital One Cup trophy, the City fans have labelled Willy Caballero as a legend at the club! This will surely be enjoyed by Joe Hart, who has always had a great relationship with any back-up at the club before—but maybe he didn't like one of the chants thrown his way this game.
"You're just a shit Caballero, shit Caballero" was chanted from the South Stand to Hart, who turned and gave them a grin. It was all in good jest though, as the South Stand replied by chanting "England's Number 1".
Touré was back to his old self in this match, and showed what City missed from him in the weekend draw with Norwich. The Ivorian had a fantastic first half especially, as he made two surging runs throwing players to the ground in his wake. He always seems to look like he's running much slower than the players trying to get the ball from him, and yet he manages to keep the ball and power through with ease. His quick feet are especially surprising for such a tall man.
Another man worthy of a mention is Sergio Agüero. The striker may not have scored, or even fashioned as many chances as he usually does, but his hold-up play was great and the skill he possessed a few times to get past the Kiev defence was mesmerising. A cheeky back-heel and spin saw off two defenders during the second half, and had City fans on their feet.

Raiders sweep league awards
INDIANAPOLIS — — The Wright State softball team swept this week's Horizon League awards, as sophomore outfielder Macey Gunther was the Player of the Week and freshman Ally Russell the Pitcher of the Week.
Gunther (Newton Falls Ursuline) hit .444 (4 for 9) with three RBI and two stolen bases as the Raiders went 2-1 at the Hoosier Classic in Bloomington, Indiana.

Digging Like a Demented Mole
"They'll be dancing in the streets of ______ tonight…"
SARU Turns Politics Down A Notch And Focuses On Rugby Success
Posted on April 17, 2012 by dementedmole
Rassie Erasmus, the new GM of the Springboks. Wonder who he has his eye on in the draft?
The South African Rugby Union have just appointed Rassie Erasmus as the Springbok general manager. ESPN Scrum.com reports that "The former Stormers coach will take on responsibility for the high performance teams and will also be involved with the Springboks when they are in camp."
Crazy Piet oversaw the Boks winning the series against the Lions and a Tri-Nations tournament victory, but there were always questions over how much he brought to the World Cup-winning team that Jake White left him.
With former Blue Bulls supremo Heyneke Meyer already installed as head coach of the Boks, this is a fascinating, far-sighted appointment from SARU, and an indication that there has been a serious change of opinion about what defines the strategic level of operations of the organisation.
Crazy Piet de Villiers was seen from the first day of his tenure as a political appointment, and rumours were rife throughout his tenure that a coterie of highly experienced players in his squad [namely John Smit, Victor Matfield and Fourie du Preez] 'ran' the team. De Villiers was an idiosyncratic coach and tactless communicator with the media, and too often seemed like a rash, headstrong street-fighter who had been promoted to a general but simply wasn't up to the job.
When commenting on the rugby set-ups in other countries, you're always speaking from a position of relative ignorance. In your own neck of the woods, you likely know some of the people involved, you know the journalists and whether they're straight-shooters or grudge-holding moaners, you hear the rumours and half-truths; when looking at other leagues or international teams, like the French or South Africans, you simply don't have that level of knowledge or that feel for the attitudes of the people involved.
What Counts As Strategic?
With that proviso in place, it looks like SARU have taken a step away from being a player in a well-intentioned [and almost certainly government-encouraged] ploy to use the position of the Springboks – both inside the country as a totem for white South Africans, and outside the country as a showpiece for South African excellence on the world sporting stage – and especially the role of the head coach, as a piece in the complicated, heartfelt and potentially divisive game that is race politics in the republic.
Instead of thinking strategically in terms of government initiatives and promoting racial equality on a sporting and cultural level, those at the head of SARU have narrowed their focus to concentrate on the strategic imperative of success in test rugby over the next five to ten years.
Having an extremely visible former head coach and international as general manager is a bold and progressive move. If there's discontent between Meyer and Erasmus on a personal level, or if there are issues over lines of communication or heirarchy, then a run of bad results will blow the whole thing wide open. On the other hand, if clear limits and directives are already in place as to how the relationship should work, this has the potential to be an extremely effective working relationship.
The Hydra
The Hydra: Wayne Smith, Steve Hansen and Graham Henry. An enormous amount of coaching knowledge assembled together and – as far as we knew – pulling in the same direction.
Different countries do things in different ways. New Zealand settled on the three-headed hydra approach in recent years, and while admittedly Graham Henry was always acknowledged as the head coach, both Wayne Smith and Steve Hansen were highly visible. Now that Hansen has been appointed the new head coach of the All Blacks, he has brought in Aussie McLean as defense coach, the Chiefs' Ian Foster as backs coach and is expected to introduce Mick Byrne as a technical skills coach. Interestingly, ex-All Black outhalf Grant Fox has been added to the roster as a selector, and he'll join Hansen and Foster on a three-man selection panel – a selection panel that includes neither defense coach McLean or skills coach Byrne.
If Rala Puts Out The Crashpads, And Deccie Picks The Team, What Does Mick Kearney Do?
The Mole has long felt that the position of manager in the Irish set-up – until recently held by Paul McNaughton, with Mick Kearney taking over just before the Six Nations – is underpowered and unclear, an afterthought. Blood and Guts Toland wrote a column earlier in the year that posed the question of what Declan Kidney's job actually entailed: with Gert Smal coaching the forwards, Les Kiss taking charge of the defense and Kiss collaborating with Mark Tainton on attack, what did this leave Kidney to do of an average day?
The Dolphin man has never had the reputation as a brilliant technical coach, but rather that of a borderline-spooky man-manager, motivator and strategic thinker. The next person who takes on the job won't have the same skill-set or personality, so will the coaching set-up [and not just the personnel involved] change as well?
Provincial Ballast
Declan Kidney and Ronan O'Gara in Munster colours: Kidney had two stints at the province, taking them to four HEC finals and winning two of them in his seven seasons in charge.
The last three years of Kidney's tenure have soured The Mole on having a coach who was previously the head man at one of the provinces. Not only has Kidney made selections that a lot of people might see as Munster-leaning [O'Leary over anybody for the last two seasons; O'Callaghan over Tuohy in this year's Six Nations, with the Ulsterman seemingly not even up for consideration; O'Mahony over Henry as a No7 in the same tournament, when the former has barely played the position and the latter has been playing there regularly for the last two seasons; the badly mis-firing Earls over the in-form Andrew Trimble in the build-up to the World Cup], it's also a bit naive to dissociate him from the central contracts that have been given out recently as thank-yous to Donncha O'Callaghan [three years] and Denis Leamy [two years]. You'd want to be a fairly sheltered – or maybe blinkered – Irish rugby fan to think that the PCRG acts on its own accord with regards to contract allocation without serious input from the national coach.
The media coverage of his tenure has also been oddly unquestioning: journalists consistently seeking to defend the head coach to their readers, as though the average Irish rugby fan doesn't have a clue about rugby or is a seething partisan rabble-rouser incapable of objectivity.
Eddie O'Sullivan shipped a huge amount of flak during his tenure as IRFU head coach. For the majority of that time, he was dealing from two provinces, with Munster in their pomp, Leinster talented but underpowered and Ulster in the middle of a serious slump. Kidney has significantly more resources at hand, with three provinces in good standing on a European level.
With that said, there is an obvious provincial split in the Irish fan base: Munster fans who refuse to see anything wrong with anything Kidney does [ever], and Leinster/Ulster fans who are all too willing to blame him for anything, even issues that are obviously out of control, or well-intentioned ideas that go t*ts-up. It's a poisonous atmosphere. It was pretty obvious that a Munster-fascinated/leaning press were incredibly harsh on Eddie O'Sullivan during his tenure, blaming him for delivering Triple Crowns rather than Grand Slams and putting in a lot of personal criticism that they might have felt was warranted by his short-tempered dealings with them, but was petty, destructive and mostly just unprofessional.
While you wouldn't want to see anything of this kind of personalized nonsense when it comes to Kidney, there's been very little criticism of any kind of his selection, tactics or win-loss record. What there has been is a priceless about-face in doctrine, from the 'our players have played more big knock-out matches in the Heineken Cup' that preceded the RWC11 quarter-final against Wales to 'the Heineken Cup is killing us at international level' in the aftermath of another disappointing Six Nations – both of which are/were presented as immutable facts, both of which are wide open to question.
Foreign Head Coach
The current dissatisfaction with Kidney stems from the fact that since the turn of 2010, Irish results have been poor. Kidney took over in 2008 and had a couple of teething problems with a loss to the All Blacks and then a horrendous soup of a match [albeit a win] against Argentina in Croke Park in November, but his 2009 was absolutely outstanding: unbeaten for the entire calendar year, with a Grand Slam and a win over the world champion, Lions-beating Springboks.
Since then, his record has been seriously underwhelming, with three losses to Wales, two losses to Scotland, four losses to France [including three in 2011] and two losses to England. Simply put, the results haven't been there, and the fault-lines in his coaching make-up are growing. People are looking for reasons why Ireland aren't winning more games, and more and more focus is coming to bear on Kidney's supposed weaknesses rather than his supposed strengths.
To those not from Munster, many of these fault-lines find their locus in his provincial background. Ulster and Connacht fans accuse him of wilfully overlooking their players for selection, while Leinster fans accuse him of a backwards gameplan.
The Mole has long felt ambivalent to the idea that it must be an Irishman that coaches Ireland; after all, of Kidney's four major training field assistants during RWC11, how many were Irish? None. There was the South African Gert Smal, the Australians Alan Gaffney and Les Kiss, and the Englishman Mark Tainton. I'd prefer an Irish team that wins more matches and plays better rugby with a foreign coach than a team that loses half its matches and underperforms with an Irish figurehead coach.
The idea that we have to stick with the same organisational set-up as we have now is sclerotic thinking. There are other ways to get the job done.
Big Man On Campus
The 1997 Lions tour was an extremely important event in northern hemisphere rugby. As the first Lions tour of the professional era, it held the future of a much-loved but arguably out-dated institution in its hands, and the success of the tour [and not just in the test series, but in the quality and style of rugby they played throughout South Africa] guaranteed the future of the team, as well as notching a rare victory for the touring side in the southern hemisphere. It showed that a NH team [albeit one picked from the cream of four unions] could take on and beat a SH team on their own turf, and that a traditional tour which took in midweek provincial games as well as test matches could be both an on-pitch and off-pitch success.
Cotton, Telfer and McGeechan - one of the great management and coaching teams of the professional era in northern hemisphere rugby. McGeechan was the attacking guru at head coach, Telfer the force of nature as forward's coach and Cotton the steel fist in the velvet glove as tour manager. Maybe it only worked because of the specific personalities involved, or maybe it worked because there were three competent men working towards one goal – á la The Hydra.
The insight that the documentary Living With Lions provided to the rugby fan remains unsurpassed; especially revealing were the scenes which captured discussions between members of the management party. The Mole has long believed that the key to the success of the Lions on that tour was their management and coaching staff. That it worked so well was due both to the hierarchy inherent in the structure of Manager/Head Coach/Assistant Coach and the personalities involved: Fran Cotton, Ian McGeechan and Jim Telfer.
The three men were all multiple Lions tourists as players [Telfer in 1966 and 1968, McGeechan in 1974 and 1977, Cotton in 1974, 1977 and 1980] and had a deep passion for the touring team, but their history of achievement in test rugby as players is more or less incidental. It was their personalities and their well-defined roles that made the working relationship what it was, rather than the fact that they had all been great players, or that they were all generally competent men.
Cotton, bluff and approachable, but hard-nosed and even domineering when duty called; McGeechan, enthusiastic, curious and quietly adventurous, a player's coach; Telfer, teak-tough, demanding, blunt, the hardest task-master in the game. There's no doubt that a touring team needs a slightly different emphasis in management than a regular international outfit, but The Mole finds it odd that this dramatically successful template has never really been adopted by another northern hemisphere union in terms of test management, and that the idea of a manager has become little more than an appendix.
Structurally Sound
It doesn't have to be that way. Conor O'Shea is Harlequins' director of rugby, with John Kingston his head coach and Collin Osbourne his skills coach. How exactly the roles are broken up is beyond my knowledge, but it looks like O'Shea deals with the media and largely shapes the approach of the club, while Kingston carries on the training-day work which is a coach's job – coaching players. That sounds like something that could work at international level, doesn't it? While communicating ideas persuasively and effectively is a large part of a coach's job, to suggest that that ability will automatically transition between a small audience of expert players and an enormous audience of fans watching on television and reading in newspapers isn't necessarily a valid expectation.
Brian Ashton struggled as the man in charge, but was God's gift as second-in-command. He's a rugby coach, not a national media manager.
Some people are great coaches, and some are great communicators; few are both. Brian Ashton has been renowned for a long time as a smashing coach, but the obligations of dealing with the media as English coach during RWC07 obviously weighed extremely heavily on him. Back when he was Jack Rowell's assistant coach at Bath [1989-96] and Clive Woodward's assistant coach at England [1998-2002], everything he touched turned to gold; however, in both his times as head honcho [for Ireland between 1996-98 and for England between 2006-08], he has come a cropper.
There are a number of ways to structure a coaching staff, and one of them might be a stronger manager who has an official say in selection [rather than just being a sounding board], or even a manager/director of rugby that is the head of the table and chooses his own head coach. That may sound unwieldy, but I think there's a legitimate comparison to be made there between the current situation with Kidney and Les Kiss: Kiss oversees both attack and defense for Ireland … isn't he the head coach in all but name, and Kidney the real manager of the team? Or more, to the point, shouldn't that be the relationship?

Good stuff as always Mole! Not only have SARU put together what you rightly say looks like a very good coaching ticket, evidence from the Super 15 so far this year suggests that they also have players coming through to replace the retired WC winners of Smit, Matfield, du Preez etc. and may be a force again sooner than some people may have thought. The Stormers have been the surprise package in the tournament so far (unbeaten until last weekend when they lost 31-24 to the Crusaders in Christchurch) and a few of their younger players have been particularly eye catching. Eben Etzebeth (20) is a big, ball carrying second row that looks like the heir apparent to big Vic – he comes in the standard SAFA second row dimensions (6'8, 18 stone) which is handy too! Juan De Jongh (24) already has ten caps for the Boks but on the basis of his play this year looks like he's taken his game to the next level and may be ready to nail down a berth in the Springbok midfield. Will be interesting to see their squad for "The Rugby Championship' (the say what you see title they've given to the Tri Nations plus Argies).

Only got around to reading this now. Super stuff as always. I think England have shown the benefit of a clear management/coaching structure this season, in the way that you've discussed. Lancaster in charge of creating the team's image in the media, Rowntree takes care of the pack and Farrell as the 'head coach' (admittedly coaching shite rugby). Now that Farrell isn't being released, Lancaster recognises the need to bring in a replacement in Wayne Smith. Would hopefully make the improvements England need to make in terms of attack…

But the more I started looking through old photos, stories and events, the harder I realized it was. How was I ever going to narrow it down?
It was such a great year for designing in gemstones, with many colored stones coming to the attention of both celebrities and consumers. Not to mention, I was getting myself acquainted with many stones that were new to me.
Since 2014 was also my first full year as a member of the fine jewelry industry, I found that my tastes were evolving dramatically over time. As soon as I learned what Paraiba tourmaline was, I immediately became obsessed with almost any piece that included it (welcome to the club, right?).
The more I saw, the more I began to appreciate the intricacies of jewelry as well as both edgy, trendy pieces and classic, feminine pieces, quickly culling a wish list with every press preview, trade show or event.
Nevertheless, as 2014 draws to a close, I give you a (non-exhaustive) list of my favorite pieces of the past year.
Anthony Lent's 18-karat yellow gold "Muse" ring, inspired by the Three Graces of classical mythology, features a trillion-cut spessartite garnet (also called a mandarin garnet) at the center with platinum and diamonds at the necks of the graces, seen at the Couture Press Preview.
These drop earrings by Erica Courtney featuring jade, opal, demantoid garnet, lavender spinel, diamonds and gray sapphire in 18-karat gold were seen at the 2014 AGTA GemFair in Tucson.
From Wendy Brandes' "Maneater" collection comes this Pink Elephant and Tipsy Writer ring, covered in pink sapphires. It won honorable mention in the 2015 AGTA Spectrum Awards, and we got to see it displayed at the AGTA press event in New York City.

Solidarity with the #Stansted15
Publicerat på 24 april, 2018 av Anarchist Black Cross Raven
On Monday the 19th of March, the trial of fifteen people involved in disrupting a Titan Airways deportation flight from Stansted airport in March 2017 began at Chelmsford Crown Court in Essex, UK. If found guilty, the maximum sentence they face is life imprisonment.
The fifteen defendants, from a coalition of three groups (End Deportations, Lesbians and Gays Support the Migrants, and Plane Stupid), sought to halt a deportation charter flight carrying 57 people to Nigeria by using tube lock-ons and a tripod to prevent the airplane from taking off. Their actions caused a 48-hour delay to the flight, which gave 34 of the 57 people scheduled to be deported time to pursue appeals and to be taken off the flight.
This action is the first time that a deportation charter flight has been prevented from leaving the UK through direct action on the runway, exposing a weakness in the British Home Office's deportation infrastructure that could lead to future successful actions. It is also the first time that anti-terror legislation is being utilised to prosecute the use of non-violent direct action to halt a deportation charter flight from the UK. By threatening the Stansted 15 with the possibility of life imprisonment the British government wants to send a strong message and discourage meaningful resistance to their hostile environment. They do not want anyone to challenge the legally dubious and repugnant "deport first, appeal later" approach that the British Home Office is using.
From 8:30am on Monday 19th of March, people will be rallying outside Chelmsford Crown Court to support the defendants and to call for an end to all deportations. The trial is expected to last 4-6 weeks and the public gallery will be open during this time.

Probability of earthquake recurrence in Nigeria very high
September 20, 2018	1 Comment 5,182 Views
The probability of recurrence of earthquakes in the very near future is high in Nigeria.
Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Science and Technology
This disclosure was made on Thursday, September 20, 2018 in Abuja by Prof. Seidu Muhammed, chairman, Technical Committee on Earth Tremor, while submitting a report on the recent tremor in the federal capital city to Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, the Minister of Science and Technology.
Prof. Muhammed stated that his submission is based on the results obtained using the probability of recurrence theory.
On Sept. 7, some residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were woken up by earth tremor that shook some parts of the city.
Muhammed said that more than one million earthquakes occurred daily but very few were either observed or recorded, adding that available seismic records from 1919 to 2018 showed that Nigeria has experienced seismicity (tremor) in the past.

According to him, Nigeria is now prone to seismic hazards following recent earthquake occurrence in Kwoi, Kaduna State (2016); Saki, Oyo State (2016); and Igbogene in Bayelsa State (2016).
"The latest occurred in Sept. 7 in Abuja with Mpape as epicentre. Though these earthquakes may have been of low-magnitudes, it is now certain that earthquake occurrence has become a potential hazard to the nation," he said.
Muhammed listed the recommendations of the committee to include procurement of more seismometers, ground-based magnetometers and GPS sensors/equipment for the enlargement and networking of the Nigeria National Network of Seismographic Stations.
He added: "Further detailed seismotectonic study using state-of-art equipment of the area and by extension, the entire country is recommended.
"Also, detailed Seismic Hazard Assessment for the entire country is very necessary.
"An integrated study should be carried out to properly delineate the fault systems in the area while ensuring buildings should be constructed with the right engineering design and materials on approved sites.

"Infrared satellite technology space magnetic data for earthquake monitoring are showing more prospects. It is advised that this technology must be adopted and funded.
"Others are to monitor, identify and catalog earthquakes locations to improve on future forecasts in time, and releasing of Ecological Fund urgently for Earthquake Monitoring and Hazard Assessment in Nigeria.''
According to him, the committee further recommended that there is need to regulate exploitation of ground water resources of Abuja via indiscriminate sinking of boreholes as it was the primary reason for recent Abuja tremor.
"Government should fund the training of geophysicists, geologists, engineers, technologies and researchers to participate in earth science research to improve understanding of Nigerian and West African geophysics and tectonics dynamism.
"The Federal Government should empower relevant research agencies mandated to carry out studies on the remote causes of the tremor and proffer solutions," he added.

Speaking, Dr Onu said the Federal Government would advance research activities to mitigate any earthquake hazard in the country.
The minister said that research activities were crucial to societal value as evidence for readiness and mitigation of earthquake hazard.
"We will keep on carrying out researches to ensure our nation is secure by taking proper proactive and not reactive measures to address challenges that can hinder efficient forecasting, detection and monitoring of earthquake in Nigeria.
"There is urgent need to establish the Nigerian standard for the seismic building code which I think Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NIBRRI) should be able to handle for the nation," he said.
Onu said that he would submit the technical report to the President Muhammadu Buhari immediately for appropriate and urgent actions.

At least the Committee has confirmed that there is the possibility of future tremor and or a real earthquake occurring in Nigeria. Having established that truism, the Committee came out with a long list of recommendations what the Federal Government should proactively do in the short and long terms to mitigate the destructive effects of an earthquake if it happens anywhere in the country.
Without being pessimistic, the Federal Government is always quick at setting up committees to probe into issues of national disasters, but very lukewarm at implementing the recommendations of the committees set up to look into the cause(s) of the disasters.
There are so many committees' reports gathering dust at the Presidency where one administration after another never bothered to look at these reports. That is the major problem we have in Nigeria.
Governments in Nigeria usually react to disaster rather than prevent it from happening or at worse go to sleep and do nothing while lives are lost and uncountable numbers of property destroyed. We see the scenario every year most especially during the peak of the raining season when the occurrence of flooding at the nooks and crannies of the country is very rampant.
If care is not taken, this committee's recommendations would suffer the same fate.

SC upholds minimum requirement of 100 homebuyers to initiate IBC case1 day ago
CHB asks Punjab and Haryana governments & PGI for 25% payment for flats
Building these eight to 10 residential towers will cost Rs 500-to-600 crore. Sources in the UT administration said each tower of 28 flats will be worth Rs 60 crore.
Deepak Yadav
September 30, 2020, 16:25 IST
CHANDIGARH: Punjab, Haryana and the PGI, which demanded the costliest flats for their bureaucrats and doctors at the IT Park, have now received a letter from the Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) for 25% payment.
Building these eight to 10 residential towers will cost Rs 500-to-600 crore. Sources in the UT administration said each tower of 28 flats will be worth Rs 60 crore. Haryana wants to reserve three towers, while Punjab has requisitioned one for its bureaucrats.
The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) has given the CHB no written requirement, so far, but asked for two towers verbally for its doctors. Last week, 24 architectural firms from across the country showed their drawings to the high-level technical committee for finalisation.
A CHB official said: "We have sent the requirement of payment to both state governments and the PGI, telling them to deposit the money quickly to get a financial consent for the project. Moreover, we have also asked Punjab and Haryana to show interest if they need flats for their legislators, too, so that a space can be reserved. We have also asked the Chandigarh administration if it wants a tower but it is yet to give its consent."
This new kind of expensive housing project will take a lot of planning, design, green area, and prime land. Fast running out of plot space, the CHB has proposed flats for the MLAs also, because the Punjab government had asked for these a few years ago.
The Chandigarh housing board is scouting the best architects for this project. The high-level committee is assessing those plans, designs, and ideas that the 24 interested architectural firms presented to the housing board in a recent virtual meeting. The committee's key points for selection were the FAR (floor-area ratio), density, circulation area, balcony, basements, green area, and environment-friendliness. The members discussed every plan in detail. The competing companies had come from New Delhi, Mumbai, Nasik, Jaipur, and Ahmedabad.

Q: Provide quick-summary options for typo fixes, grammar fixes, etc My personal experience is that very often, I use Edit Summary for:

*

*Typos

*Grammar Errors

*Minor Changes  (where the essence of the information has not changed, and edit summary can hardly offer value to the reader).

*Others (some more clarification added, genuine corrections which fix some problems with the original post etc).
Now, in the first three cases, I most often leave the summary blank, or if I am feeling hyper-responsible, I type: "typo", "grammar" or "minor".
I suggest we provide a radio button in Edit Summary, with the default set to "minor". Something like:

*

*Minor

*Typo

*Grammar

*Other (please explain)

This offers a quick way to describe many edits instead of blank summaries. (Of course there is one more click for someone who wants to add proper summary for the 4th case).

The above of course may need modification/improvements, but just wanted to convey the idea.
