Aim. The aim of this paper was to test in teenagers with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) the Glucobeeb (Gb), a web based tool to support the diabetes care. Methods. Gb transfers glucometer's data by phone and Internet to the PC of practitioner in files dedicated to each patient; the response returns to patient as 1-min vocal message. From outpatients paediatric clinic 28 teenagers (mean 14.8 years, range 10-20, male 14) with T1DM on multiple daily injections insulin therapy, with glicated haemoglobin (HbA1c) over 7% and >2 years' duration of the disease (9.1 years, range 2-15), were consequently randomized to telecare (glucometer transmission with feedback, group A) or control (standard communication by phone and face-to-face visits, group B). Glycaemia was tested four times per day and data transmitted every 2 weeks; clinician feedback returned within the following week. Two controls were excluded after randomization. Outcomes of 14 patients of A were compared with 12 of B. Results. In intervention group average HbA1c% decreased from baseline at 3 and 6 months in comparison with controls (9.5, 9.0, 9-1, vs 9.1, 9-4, 9.4 respectively). Controls after 6 months were introduced to Gb, and similar trend of HbA1c was observed in the following examinations at 3 and 6 month (9.4, 8.9, 8.7). Then, in both groups HbA1c after 12 months of Gb increased, and after 18 reduced (A: 9-2, and 8.8, B 9-1 and 8.5 respectively). The enhancement of HbA1c from baseline to end was significant (P=0.01). Conclusion. The tool improves metabolic control in teenagers with T1DM.

Samsung could take the lead in the smartphone camera market soon.
Sony created a benchmark by announcing its camera sensor that could record 1000 frames per second, a few months back. A major innovation for sure. Samsung has reportedly decided to join the league and seems to have created a similar camera sensor that will come with same capabilities as was reported by ETNews. Which raises speculations that the next iteration of the Galaxy S series, Galaxy S9 may come featured with the 1000fps camera.
Samsung's approach to the camera sensor is, however, a little different. It is using a slightly diverse setting for stacking up different units and the DRAM for its sensors as compared to Sony's. The Galaxy S 9 may be Samsung's answer to Sony Xperia smartphones. What is special about this smartphone camera sensor is that it's expected that the camera equipped with such sensor will come handy in capturing an object's movement in detail like fixing posture of a person swinging his golf club. This specific method allows for video recording of up to 1,000 frames per second at 1080p. We have seen this in few of Sony's devices including the Xperia XZ Premium that has 960 FPS ultra-slow-motion feature.
Samsung Galaxy S8 already sports one of the best cameras amongst all available phones and if this rumour turns out to be true, this could mean that Samsung is trying to take over the photography/filmography aspect of the smartphone market. Samsung's camera could be faster than any smartphone camera ever. The company's phablet costs Rs. 67,900 and is to go on sale from September 21. Tech experts recently predicted that Samsung is going to use the DRAM chip together with a 2-layer system that is to be fitted together in order to take sharp and bright pictures. TSV stacking technology can radically increase the performance of a product but this also increases the production cost. The South-Korean giant is expected to come up with the next iteration of Samsung S series, Galaxy S9 in the third quarter of 2018.
The recently launched iPhone 8 and iPhone X cameras haven't improved significantly in terms of aperture or lenses' specification but what's noteworthy are the new portrait mode features. iPhone 8 plus is to come with 2 lenses namely, the wide-angle lens and the telephoto lens. But can it beat Samsung's upcoming idea?
According to the reports, Samsung's new camera sensor will be going into mass production by November. However, the question still remains. Will a dual rear camera setup be seen in the Galaxy S9, like the one that is available for the Galaxy Note 8.

For a book that attempts to move beyond the highbrow theory of the 20th century, After Theory seems so…ordinary. The esteemed professor/theorist/critic/writer/gadfly Terry Eagleton manages to tackle the most popular ideas of the 20th century, and one by one topple them over. In doing so he's essentially trying to answer: What does it mean to be human?
In doing so, he urges us to a new place. He envisions a world of people doing what they enjoy doing, being good because it is an end in itself, finding happiness through living and acting well (not—gasp—conjuring certain feelings) and finding freedom in dependence. In doing so, he does not present new ideas, but recasts old ones. In being overtly radical, he really simply fulfills the etymology of the word: getting back to the roots. Overall, Eagleton reminds us that we are not human to make or spend money, to find happiness, or exercise our rights. Being human is an end in itself, and we must simply find things to make us more that way.

Book contends that newspaper columnist and "What's My Line?" panelist Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered by the Mafia.
A Hollywood production company has picked up the rights to a Burlingame author's bestseller about the mysterious 1965 death of investigative reporter and TV game show panelist Dorothy Kilgallen.
The Dowdle brothers created and produced the Paramount Network's "Waco," starring Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh.
Shaw, a Burlingame resident, is a former criminal defense attorney and legal analyst for CNN, ESPN and USA Today for the Mike Tyson, O.J. Simpson and Kobe Bryant cases. He's written more than 20 non-fiction books, and his Kilgallen book became a bestseller.
Kilgallen, a noted newspaper columnist and panelist on "What's My Line?" was found dead in her Manhattan townhouse on Nov. 8, 1965 at age 52. The medical examiner initially ruled her death an accident due to the amount of sleeping pills and alcohol in her system.
But Shaw argues in his book that the Mafia had Kilgallen murdered, and staged her death to look like an accident, because she was planning to write that the mob had President Kennedy assassinated. Shaw has identified an Ohio man as the murderer.
Shaw told the Post that the Dowdles will either use the Kilgallen book as the basis of a feature film or a dramatic multi-part TV series with an actress playing Kilgallen.
No decision has been made about who will play Kilgallen. "Names that have been thrown around include Cate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins, but who knows? If only Meryl Streep were a few years younger!" Shaw said.
He said no date has been set for when the project would be released.
Last year, New York City District Attorney Cyrus Vance re-opened the Kilgallen case based on evidence Shaw had dug up. But the DA closed the case eight months later, citing a lack of evidence.
Shaw said that he gave the DA's investigator the names of many people who could corroborate his theory, but the investigator didn't interview them. He feels it was a shoddy investigation.
Has Mark Shaw considered asking elderly retired FBI agent Don Adams to comment on the Kilgallen dimension of the Oswald mystery? He is in Akron, Ohio. You can find him with Google and You Tube. He says Oswald had accomplices.


First, I would like to give a little background on the family of Zebedee William and Emiline Williams Morris:Both were born at Troy in Montgomery County, N.C., where they were married. Zebedee was the son of Elias (1805-1853) and Sarah Morris (1802 – aft 1860), and was the Administrator of his father's estate. Emiline's parents are unknown. They lived in Troy, birthplace of their first eight children, until shortly before the outbreak of Civil War, relocating to Swannanoa in Buncombe County. Their 16-year old son Archibald joined Company K of the 11th North Carolina Infantry Regiment, Confederate States of America, on 1 March 1862 at Swannanoa, but died of "camp disease," a combination of measles, pneumonia and typhoid fever on 2 May 1862. His remains were not sent home for burial until the middle of July, finally being received by his family on 19 July 1862.
On 27 April 1863, 35-year old Zebedee enlisted in the same regiment as his deceased son, and was immediately sent north to fight at a place called Gettysburg in a battle that would become equally famous, "Picket's Charge." Left behind in Buncombe County were seven children and a pregnant wife. On the return march from Pennsylvania to Virginia, their commanding officer, General James Pettigrew of the University of North Carolina was killed in an ambush. Not long afterwards, Zebedee deserted his unit and remained gone for nearly six weeks. He was not charged for the desertion and rejoined his unit. Shortly thereafter he was shot in the ankle, crippling him severely enough to be sent home following a lengthy hospital recuperation. He overstayed his furlough at Swannanoa (technically he deserted again), because Emiline was about to deliver the child she was carrying when Zebedee went off to war. They named him William Zebedee Morris. Shortly after Christmas, 1863, Zebedee returned to active duty until August 1864 when he had his right arm shot off by a cannon shot at Petersburg, VA. Not long after he came home, the son William Zebedee died. The family then relocated to the Wolf Creek (Grass Creek) / Paint Rock section of Madison County, bordering the Tennessee State Line, where three other children would be born. During the year 1869 or 1870 they purchased the family Bible and began recording the family's history. A good number of the descendants of Zebedee and Emiline Williams Morris now reside in, and around Asheville, Canton, and Marion, N.C.
When Zebedee's widow Emiline died during Thanksgiving week, 1904, the Bible passed into the hands of their son Pardee Chappel Morris and wife Martha Elizabeth Lamb. When Pardee died in 1909, his brother Robert E. Lee Morris, who was then living at Del Rio in Cocke County, TN, took possession of the Bible, along with all of Pardee's blacksmithing tools. Several years later, Robert relocated to Marion, NC, taking the Bible with him. About 1920 Robert moved to Burnsville in Yancey County, finally settling in Asheville. It appears that the Bible then passed from Robert to Pardee's widow prior to 1942. When Martha died in November 1942, according to what I have been told, the Bible came to be in the hands of Lyda Morris of Canton, N.C., son of Pardee and Martha. The Bible probably was well-taken care of up until the time when Lyda came into possession of it. Lyda was convicted in 1949 of killing his brother Chappell Morris, and sentenced to prison. The Bible was then put into storage in a corn-crib in Haywood County. Needless to say, the rats had a good time of it with the aging book. Years later, the people who took possession of Lyda's home and property discovered the Bible in the barn, and seeing a familiar name written in the Book, proceeded to call Lyda's sister Margaret "Maggie" Morris Stiles Clontz, and the Book assumed new ownership. In 1971, Maggie "gave" the Bible to a daughter for $50.00. There it remained, hidden from view, kept from all family members for 25 years. No one, not even close family members, was allowed to see the Bible, nor did anyone know where it could be found.

ROBIN FRIDAY: the maverick of mavericks
It is the first of January 1977.
Robin Friday has only been a player for a few days at Cardiff, English Second Division.
It is his absolute debut in his new colours.
The game is played at Ninian Park in Cardiff.
Opposite is Fulham. Bobby Moore and George Best's team.
Friday is looking forward to measuring himself against 'Beasts', one of the very few footballers he admires.
Best, however, will not be there because of a trivial muscle trouble.
Cardiff will win the game by 3 goals to 0.
The second and third goals are the work of Robin Friday who will carry the Fulham defence … including Bobby Moore.
The two will also have something to say to each other during the match.
Their altercation will end exactly when Robin Friday 'squeezes' the testicles of the 1966 World Champion England captain.
At the end of the match Jimmy Andrews, manager of Cardiff will phone his Reading colleague, Charlie Hurley who a few days earlier sold him Friday for the pittance of £28,000.
"Charlie, he blew them all away for 90 minutes. Friday was fantastic. You sold me a phenomenon Charlie,' Andrews shouts enthusiastically to his colleague.
"Jimmy, you've only had him for three days ! We'll talk about it in three months …' is Hurley's mournful reply.
Robin Friday was born on 27 July 1952 in Acton, a small town in west London a stone's throw from Heathrow airport.
He anticipates by a few seconds his twin brother Tony with whom he grows up in the suburbs of this town.
Almost always the two are on a football pitch with a ball between their feet with their peers.
It soon becomes obvious to everyone that Robin has a special talent.
Already at the age of 10 he can do incredible things with the ball. His speciality is to throw the ball high and stop it with the back of his neck.
At the beginning he is a bit 'conflicted' about his favourite role. Robin loves playing in goal and has prodigious reflexes as well as an innate courage to dive between his teammates' feet.
His physicality has been impressive since childhood.
He is tall and thin and also has a great talent for cricket but the physical contact of football attracts him much more.
At the age of 13, several London clubs offer him the chance to train with them but in the end they all decide not to keep Robin. First Crystal Palace and then Queens Park Rangers.
Lastly, the Chelsea of Tommy Dockerty, the famous Scottish coach who, after putting him in the youth teams, also decided like the others to disregard Robin by letting him go.
No one disputes his qualities, but there are already two obvious problems, which will characterise Robin's career and life forever: an absolute lack of discipline on the pitch and 'passions' that are certainly not appropriate off the pitch, especially for alcohol and drugs.
At 15, he is already a cannabis, speed and methadone user.
Robin experiments with everything with avid curiosity.
With school comes the end and at this point Robin starts to lose his 'coordinates'.
In order to maintain his vices he begins to engage in petty theft, often for a few dozen pounds and where the risk is disproportionate to the eventual loot.
He is 'caught' several times (the last theft he commits in a toy shop) and is eventually sentenced to 14 months' imprisonment in Feltham juvenile prison, among junkies and robbers.
His skill with a ball between his feet will be his salvation.
In the prison there is a football team that, under the careful supervision of the guards, is often 'away' to play friendly matches, even with prominent youth teams.
It is precisely during one of these matches that he is spotted by Reading who invite him, after serving his prison term, to train with the club.
The impact is excellent.
Despite his thin and lanky physique Robin shows that he is not afraid of physical confrontation even against men who are used to the contact football of the English 4th division.
Everything seems to be going well, but with Robin Friday there are never any certainties.
He decides to drop everything and return to Acton to live with his 16-year-old girlfriend Maxine.
Not an easy choice in itself and certainly a very brave one.
But there is another detail, and not a small one.
Maxine is a black girl.
In England at that time, the word 'integration' was still virtually unknown.
Many people frowned upon Robin's 'choice' and on several occasions he was involved in fights, often resulting from racial insults directed at the couple.
As usual, Robin Friday doesn't give a damn about the conventions and bigoted judgments of an English society that will still need a few years before starting a real process of welcoming the many 'coloureds' (as they were called then) arriving from the former British colonies.
Robin will marry Maxine and by her shortly afterwards he will have a son.
While this will not change Robin's life one iota, at least as habits go, his new responsibility as husband and father convinces him to look for a real job.
The construction industry in those years is always looking for workers and Friday starts working on various construction sites, specialising as an asphalt worker.
Thanks to the insistence of a colleague, he also returns to playing football.
Nothing transcendental, the team is Walthamstow Avenue and it's only the ISTHMIAN LEAGUE, a category comparable to our Eccellenza league, but Robin starts to have fun again.
And scoring a lot of goals.
In addition to his construction worker's salary, he adds £10 a week to his football salary, which is very useful for the family budget and to feed old vices.
In a league match against Hayes, an ambitious team much closer to Acton, Robin played an outstanding game and was instrumental in his team's victory.
When Robin comes out of the locker room, the Hayes officials block him.
They absolutely want him at their club.
The offer is tempting.
£30 a week.
More than Robin earns at the moment tarmacking terraces.
It's an all round good time for Robin Friday.
He plays and scores a lot of goals with Hayes, continues to work at the building site, sleeps with all the pretty girls who come his way, drinks and smokes pretty much anything, and fights on Saturday nights.
His name, however, began to circulate again among several professional teams.
'That madman Friday seems to have got his head on straight' is the phrase that begins to circulate at that time. After all, that was always his ONLY problem, since no one ever had a single doubt about his footballing qualities.
As often happens, however, Lady Luck has other plans.
While working on a building site Robin falls from a scaffold.
He falls to the floor below and a protruding piece of iron sticks into his back.
The situation is critical.
Robin is transported to the nearby St. Thomas Hospital.
The iron rod lodged barely two centimetres from his heart.
Robin will live, but the recovery will be long, say the doctors, and unlikely to be complete.
Friday, as usual, spooks everyone.
Three months later he is back at work and, more importantly, back on the field with Hayes.
He returns just in time for the 1st round of the FA CUP where Hayes have to face the professional Bristol Rovers. It's 18 November 1972.
The Hayes eliminate Bristol Rovers and in the next round the draw pits them against another professional team, Reading.
Less than three years have passed since Robin Friday trained with the Royals.
It will take a repeat performance for Reading to get the better of the tough Hayes but once again Friday's performance has everyone in agreement.
Charlie Hurley, manager of the Royals, began to follow him assiduously.
Less than a year later he is convinced that Robin Friday is the right man for Reading's attack and assault on promotion to Division 3.
He writes a cheque for £750 and in January 1974 Friday becomes a Reading player.
The idea is to play him with the reserve team for a couple of months, assess his progress, monitor his inclusion and then launch him into the first team.
The enthusiasm and vigour that the young striker brings to every training match impresses Hurley favourably, although he often has to curb Friday's exuberance, who knocks out three team-mates in a single training session.
Proverbial intervention by the manager who interrupts the match, approaches Friday and tells him that 'son, we have a league game on Saturday afternoon. If you keep this up I won't get to eleven to send out on the pitch' .
However, it is clear to all that Friday is not a reserve team player ('I was so sick of playing with those faggots,' commented Friday with his usual tact') and so after two weeks Hurley tells him that he will make his first team debut against Northampton the following Sunday.
The ensuing dialogue will go down in Royals legend.
"Fantastic Boss !" replied Friday enthusiastically at the news "I promise you that Saturday night I'll be good at home, no alcohol and no fisticuffs."
"Son," Hurley paid him back, "I can handle a lie now and then … but three at once is too many!"
And while it is true that Robin Friday will NEVER make good on these promises, it is equally true that what he manages to do on the field will not only overshadow his dissolute and always on the edge private life, but will quickly turn him into the absolute idol of Elm Park.
He skips training frequently, shows up at games shortly before taking the field and almost always in a disastrous condition.
Sometimes he is even reported missing or his exploits in some club the night before reach the ears of managers and clubs.
When he shows up for training he just wants the ball.
Tackles or shots on goal.
Laps, stretches or repetitions are out of the question.
But Reading's performances improved dramatically and it was Robin Friday who made the difference.
At the end of his first season he scored 7 goals and contributed to Reading's climb from the last positions they were in in January to an excellent sixth place finish just a handful of points from the promotion zone.
Summer arrived and Robin Friday completely lost track of him.
Preparation began but no news of Acton's 'maverick'.
Then, on the day before the first friendly of the season against Elton John's Watford, a figure with the 'likeness' of Robin Friday turns up at the training ground.
Long hair, unkempt beard and thinner than usual.
All he has with him is a small plastic bag, the kind you'd find in a supermarket.
Inside is a pair of football boots that haven't seen a brush in months and a pair of underwear.
The next day, in the friendly against Watford, Robin Friday literally drove the Hornets' defence mad for ninety minutes, being the best player on the pitch in the end.
All this with no pre-season preparation, only one training session behind him and, it turned out after a few days, a summer spent in a hippy commune in Cornwall!
In his first full season as a professional Robin Friday will score 20 goals, Reading will always finish in the top half of the league table, but most importantly his name will start to circulate at the highest level.
There is talk of West Ham, Sheffield United and even Arsenal.
Bertie Mee's Gunners have lost a lot of the polish of a few seasons before and they need someone who can score goals and who, above all, is ready to replace, in the hearts of the Highbury fans, another great 'madman' of English football: Charlie George, put on the transfer list to the Gunners because of disagreements with Mee himself.
Nothing will come of it, also because Robin's habits do not change one iota.
In the following season (despite the 'usual' hippy summer in Cornwall) Robin played a fantastic season.
He scored a staggering 22 goals, but above all he contributed to Reading's promotion to the third division.
Robin on the pitch is a joy to watch. He has talent, two excellent feet, is physically strong (well over 180 cm) and also has great skills in the aerial game.
But he is totally undisciplined.
Soon Hurley even stops giving him tactical assignments or trying to channel his energy and talent.
He becomes a declared target for all defenders but never hides, quite the contrary.
He loves a physical confrontation and even when he gets the attention of opposing defenders, he does everything he can to stay on his feet and when he falls, he immediately gets back up … lowering his socks even more onto his ankles in defiance.
He loves dribbling, an art for the few in the UK at that time and perhaps even more appreciated for it. Those who have seen him play say that against the most violent and vicious defenders his greatest amusement was to dribble them several times in the same action and after dribbling them once to wait for another dribble … a bit like a bullfighter with a bull.
When he returns from yet another summer of revelry and 'various experiences', however, it is evident that Robin has lost something of his brilliance and skill.
It is also evident that Robin is now a habitual drug user and this is keeping away several big teams (QPR and West Ham) who had shown interest.
To add to this, Reading's players are on the outs with the club, which is guilty of failing to keep its financial promises made at the time of promotion.
Charlie Hurley is repeatedly threatening to resign and without his mentor and the only one who has in any way managed him, it is the beginning of the end for Friday at Reading.
Robin struggles to regain the polish of previous seasons but his reputation is still intact.
An excellent offer arrives from Second Division side Cardiff for Friday.
That's almost £30,000.
Less than what they could have earned from his transfer just a few months earlier but still a respectable sum.
Friday goes to Cardiff reluctantly.
Too far from home and the salary is too low.
Reading threaten to terminate his contract.
And so on 30 December 1976 Robin Friday becomes a player at Cardiff, English second division.
The start is the worst possible.
On his arrival at Cardiff Central Station Robin Friday is arrested.
He had travelled from London without a ticket.
It is his new manager Jimmy Andrews who picks him up at the station, pays the fine and takes him to the headquarters for signing.
All this just two days before his first-team debut, scheduled for the first of the year in a home match against Fulham, the team whose ranks included perhaps the two greatest British footballers of a few years earlier: Bobby Moore and George Best.
It is the match we told you about at the beginning.
It seems like the beginning of a wonderful story between Robin Friday and Cardiff and who knows, maybe even the final leap towards a consecration at an even higher level that is surely still in Friday's 'ropes'.
None of that.
He would finish the season scoring a total of seven goals, alternating excellent performances with some absolutely abulic ones.
Friday trains less and less, returns to London often and sometimes turns up for the game twenty minutes before it starts.
Jimmy Andrews is no Charlie Hurley.
There is no forgiveness or compassionate pat on the back or even the father-to-son face-to-face chat that has always (more or less) put Robin back on track.
Patience is wearing thin, and when after the summer break Friday shows up in dire straits, having contracted a severe form of dysentery that has caused him to lose more than 10 kg, even Andrews realises that Friday's health and physical state are now compromised.
In spite of this Friday is treated and waited … for two long months before he is fit enough to send him back on a playing field.
He is scheduled to return in a league match at Brighton.
His direct opponent that day is Mark Lawrenson, a young and very strong central defender who will become a mainstay of Liverpool and the Irish national team.
Lawrenson plays hard but above all leaves little room for Friday, who is unable to express himself at his usual level.
During the umpteenth Lawrenson's slide forward and while the Irishman was still on the ground, Friday found nothing better than to kick him in the face.
He was immediately sent off and Cardiff lost the game 4-0.
Not content with having done himself and his team a disservice, it seems Robin sneaks under the bridge after the sending off and goes into the Brighton dressing room to … leave a 'solid' souvenir in Lawrenson's garment bag.
It's obviously the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Friday is disqualified and heavily fined by the club.
His trail will be lost for over a month until he turns up for his last match with Cardiff, an away defeat to Bolton.
Ten days later Robin Friday, on 20 December 1977 and aged just 25, he would leave football for good.
Robin returned to London and, after his divorce from his second wife, resumed work on the building site.
In Reading meanwhile, more than 3,000 signatures were collected among the fans and handed over to the club.
The petition says to bring Robin back to Reading.
Maurice Evans, the Royals' new manager, contacts him and asks him to come back and play at Elm Park, where everyone wants him back.
'Son, if you get your life in order you can still get where you want to be in football, even in the national team,' Evans tells him.
"How old is Boss?" asks him Friday.
'Forty-one' is Evans' reply.
"Good. I'm about half his age but I've already lived twice as long as you have."
For Robin Friday, the descent into hell has already begun.
A third failed marriage, a return to live with his parents before managing to get a small flat granted by the state to the underprivileged.
He will end up in prison again for seizing drugs from young drug dealers by posing as a police officer.
His life would end in his small two-room flat in Acton three days before Christmas 1990, most likely from a heroin overdose.
Robin Friday was 38 years old.
The question will always remain as to where he could have gone with the talent that mother nature had given him and for anyone who saw him play there is no doubt that he could even have made it to the national team.
Robin never had that regret.
He preferred to live life to the full, burning out like a shooting star but even if only briefly lighting up the scene and bringing so much joy to those lucky enough to see him in action.
It is no coincidence that both Reading and Cardiff (where let us remember he only played 21 games) voted him 'Player of the Century' and 'Cult hero in club history' respectively.
This is the story of Robin Friday 'the greatest footballer no one (or hardly anyone) has ever seen'.

http://www.urbone.eu/obchod/mavericks-cult-heroes-del-calcio-britannico
ANECDOTES AND TRIVIA
On returning from one of his famous summers in the hippy commune in Cornwall Robin returns with tattoos on all the fingers of one hand. The tattoos start to become infected and have to be surgically removed … with the result that Friday will train for a month with a cast to protect his hand.
On 9 April 1975 Reading host Rochdale for a league match. The score was deadlocked at 1-1 when Friday came up with a dribble and then a great right-footer from outside the box that slotted into the corner.
It's the last minute of the match.
Robin runs towards his fans and when he arrives under the corner he finds a policeman undaunted despite the wild cheering on and off the pitch.
Friday approaches him and finds nothing better than to blow him a kiss in the middle of his forehead.
The policeman remains undaunted and meanwhile the stadium comes down!
It is 31 March 1976 and at Elm Park the decisive match in the Division 3 promotion race is probably being played. Facing Reading, 4th in the table, is Tranmere Rovers, who are one step above the Royals.
Given the importance of the match, international referee Clive Thomas, probably the best English whistle at the time, was even sent out.
The game was already 2-0 to Reading when Gary Peters, Reading's right-back from defence, sent a long diagonal ball down the left to Robin Friday.
Friday jumps to stopper the ball with his chest and as soon as he gets his feet back on the ground he launches himself into a flying reverse.
We are 30 metres from goal. The ball goes in under the crossbar of the Tranmere goalposts.
There are a couple of seconds of absolute silence, dictated by the disbelief of team-mates, opponents and spectators. Then a roar. Even referee Thomas brings his hands to his head in a gesture of utter disbelief.
"I have never seen a more beautiful goal in my life. And I have seen Pelé, Cruyff and Best score live,' Thomas will later recount.
At the end of the game he even went to congratulate Friday. 'Well done son, that's the most beautiful goal I've ever seen,' Thomas will say admiringly to Friday.
Friday's usual wonderful reply: 'Well, you should come around a bit more often. I score goals like that every Saturday'.
During a bus trip, the team passes near a cemetery. Friday asks to stop the bus.
He climbs over the gate, enters the cemetery and when he gets back on the bus he has several marble angels detached from the tombstones that he arranges around Club President Frank Waller, who was blissfully sleeping.
"So when he wakes up he'll think he's gone to heaven," is Robin's justification.
5 August 1976 is the date of Friday's second wedding. The local television station, Southern Television, decides to film the event. In one of the first sequences, Robin Friday, in a velvet jacket, tiger shirt open over his chest and cowboy boots, is seen 'rolling a joint' as he sits on the steps of the church.
The rest of the wedding will go down in local legend.
Fisticuffs between the 'locals' and Robin's friends from London, cocktails served at the wedding stretched with LSD tablets and one of the couple's most coveted gifts, a large envelope containing Hashish, stolen during the wedding lunch.
One of the tales that best describes Robin's 'madness' is the one in which during an away match in which the team spent the night before the match in the hotel, Robin first got drunk to historic levels, then went on to throw billiard balls at the lampposts outside the hotel and then disappeared into the garden for a while.
He then returned to reception completely naked and carrying a swan.
When asked 'what was he doing with a swan in a hotel reception' Robin replied 'keeping us company. He was alone out there and he, like me, was getting bored" …

Historic Fort Snelling Essential Stories
The revitalized Historic Fort Snelling will present a broader, more expansive interpretive focus that explores larger themes of our national historic narrative that are still relevant today: the yearning for freedom and the defense of freedom; the protection of human rights; and the recognition of sovereignty and the struggle for power. These essential stories include:
10,000 years of history - The human history of the Fort Snelling area goes back at least 10,000 years, into the end of the last ice age.
Trade - The rivers created a watery highway for trade that played a major part in the site's history from prehistoric times, through the fur trade era, to today.
The Dakota - To the Dakota, the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers is known as Bdote. It is a sacred place, and for some, it is a place of creation. Later, the fort was the site of a concentration camp for 1,600 Dakota following the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.
U.S. military - The fort represents a site of U.S. military expansion into American Indian lands west of the Mississippi, including Dakota and Ojibwe homelands. Here, soldiers mustered throughout the 19th and 20th centuries to engage in national and global conflicts.
Slavery - Dred and Harriet Scott were among the enslaved people who used their residence at Fort Snelling to champion their fight for freedom in the 1850s.
Buffalo soldiers - During the 1880s, the fort was garrisoned by the 25th U.S. Infantry, an African American regiment often referred to as the "Buffalo Soldiers." This regiment fought in the Indian Wars west of the Mississippi.
Military intelligence - During World War II, Japanese Americans, many whose families had been forcibly relocated from the West Coast, trained at Fort Snelling to gather intelligence that helped end the war. Many made Minnesota home.
Veterans - The fort has served as a place of homecoming, service and healing for hundreds of thousands of American veterans, from the first hospital in Minnesota created inside the fort walls in 1820 to today's VA and National Cemetery.

Toren is also available on PC and Mac.
I could barely contain my excitement upon downloading Toren. Gameplay videos likened it to one of my favorite games of all time, Ico, and from the initial moments of the game I completely understood the comparisons. To mix things up, Toren threw in the aspect of aging, whereas the main character begins as a baby (reminiscent of Ico) and ages to a young adult throughout the game.
There were some early concerns upon watching teasers to the game, namely how only one enemy was shown in the videos. But I dismissed those concerns, reminding myself of the minimalistic nature of Ico and how enemies took back seat to amazing environments and organic puzzles. Unfortunately, within minutes of beginning the game, the feeling of disappointment kicked in. Toren's spirit is in the right place, and the potential, always within reach, falls short.
Toren places you in the shoes of a young girl (Moonchild). The game literally starts with her as a baby and has you crawling around the environment. Fortunately, this limited form of transportation doesn't last long and is mainly there to introduce the aging element in the game. After a few moments you are able to run around as a little girl.
At its core, Toren is a puzzle game with some minor combat adventure elements thrown in for good measure. The previously mentioned concern surrounding the lack of enemies was warranted as Toren places you in constant struggle against a black dragon that spews stone-turning breath which insta-kills you if you come into contact with it.
Since some of the puzzle elements have to be discovered before even attempting to solve them, I found myself being turned to stone multiple times only because I didn't even know where to begin to look for a way to avoid the "breath of death." Fortunately the game is relatively merciful with its spawn points, and even drops a hint or two about what has to be done.
Solutions occasionally have you pushing and pulling structures to block the dragon's breath and your sword (much like Ico's) protects you from that fire. So you might have to weave in and around structures in order to reach the sword and get close enough to strike the dragon.
After years of playing similar puzzle games I'm not going to fault Toren for old gameplay mechanics, but something about the execution left much to be desired. I often felt like I was playing an original PlayStation game, which leads me to the next section.
I understand and, in some instances, welcome "retro" graphics in video games. This is particularly true with Indie games. After all, not all developers have the resources to generate Uncharted-type graphics. The problem with Toren is that it reminds me (again) of a poorly-executed original PlayStation game. Everything from murky textures, to poorly implemented animations, make Toren feel incomplete and broken.
Pressing the jump button often has Moonchild floating until the grappling animation kicks in. The combination of these lacking elements really breaks the intended fantasy atmosphere. So my disappointment comes not from the lack of graphical quality, but the poor execution of it. Thus even if the graphics were abysmal, proper animation and game-play mechanics could have saved this. Unfortunately, the game moves like it looks.
One area where Toren succeeds is in the audio department. Atmospheric tunes guide you through the adventure and decent voice work (also reminiscent of Ico's otherworldly language) compliment the fantasy setting. Other than that, sound design places some good effects upon that dragon antagonist.
It's very challenging to judge an Indie title harshly because one has to factor in limited resources and the trials of developing in a small team. But ultimately my job is to provide you with an honest opinion (especially if you are looking at this game and expecting another Ico).
As such, I cannot recommend Toren. It is an unpolished little game with a promising premise. But it falls short on execution and, as a result, equally disappoints in engaging the player in what might have been an interesting adventure.

Report: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare becomes biggest launch of 2019 in US [NPD]
Johnny Cullen
Nintendo Switch was the best-selling platform for October, but hardware and software sales were down.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was the big winner for U.S. game sales in October, according to the latest figures from NPD, but hardware and software were down year-over-year despite entering the busiest time of the year.
The return of the Modern Warfare brand from Infinity Ward saw it become the best-selling game for the month as well as the best-selling game for the year so far. It also means for the 12th year in a row, going back to Treyarch's World at War in 2008, a Call of Duty game has ranked as the best-selling game in the month it's launched in. It's another feather in Call of Duty's cap after the launch success it's had.
New Obsidian IP The Outer Worlds came in second, no doubt pleasing the developer, publisher Private Division, and Obsidian parent company Microsoft, who will continue to see this as more proof it has legs as a franchise. And with post-launch support and content hinted at, there's definitely still more to come for the game despite the announcement last night at X019 of another new IP from the studio, Grounded.
Luigi's Mansion 3 debuted in third, becoming the best-selling Switch game for the month and set a new franchise sales best, previously recorded by the original Luigi's Mansion for Nintendo GameCube in 2002.
Other new entries include Ghost Recon: Breakpoint at six, WWE 2K20 at seven - despite it being massively panned at launch for being a severe broken and a buggy mess - and Ring Fit Adventure rounding off the top ten.
Nintendo Switch went on to become the best-selling hardware of October and remains the best selling hardware platform so far this year, according to NPD. The system sold 15 million units in the US as recently as September and is now odds-on to be the best-selling console of 2019 (and possibly 2020). For Sony, PlayStation 4 is now the third fastest unit-selling home console in history, only behind the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2, respectively.
October was a month of declines across the board for the industry, though. Overall spending for the year was at $1.03 billion, down year-on-year by 34% from the $1.57 billion made in the same period last year. Hardware saw a hit too with a 41% decrease year-over-year at $182 million compared to 2018's $307 million, while software was at $620 million, down 37% from $983 million in 2018. Accessories and game cards saw a 16% drop to $231 million from 2018's $277 million.
It's not surprising to see declines of this sort near the end of a console life cycle, especially on the hardware side, as most consumers are aware of the next-gen consoles coming in 2020. However, even in terms of software, "October 2019 spending declines can be primarily attributed to fewer blockbuster releases compared to October 2018, as well as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare having two fewer weeks in the October tracking month than Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 did a year ago," NPD analyst Mat Piscatella explained.
For year-to-date figures, overall spending was down by 10% to $9.29 billion, hardware spend came in with a figure of $2.06 billion, a 23% decrease year-over-year, and software at $4.5 billion, down 7% from October 2018's $4.84 billion. Spending on accessories and game cards was at $2.83 billion, a 3% drop from the same period last year.
Spending season is in effect now, and the market should pick up ahead of the Thanksgiving/Black Friday and Holiday period. But even then, some consumers may be waiting for what's to come from Sony and Microsoft with PlayStation 5 and Project Scarlett. It's safe to say that everything is in a state of flux right now ahead of the next-gen machines launching next year.

Just a week after LeBron James became the first NBA player to unequivocally condemn Kyrie Irving's decision to post a link to an antisemitic film on his Twitter account, the Los Angeles Lakers star took to his own handle on the social media hellsite to argue that Irving's punishment by the Nets was "excessive."
Why the quick, seeming about-face? Well, some within the NBA — and inside the Lakers themselves — reportedly believe there is a bit more to it than LeBron simply standing with his fellow union member.
Zach Lowe of ESPN reported on the latest episode of his eponymous "The Lowe Post" podcast that some people within the Lakers think that LeBron was advocating for the team to renew their pursuit of Irving (emphasis mine):
"I don't know why LeBron said. Maybe he said it because he believes it and there is nothing else to it. I can tell you around the league — and even within the Lakers, some corners of it — those comments were read as LeBron... at least opening the door to 'hey, if you all are comfortable with it and all the blowback it would be, and the Nets are willing to just get out of the business now, of Kyrie Irving, so we can get him for much cheaper, not both picks, maybe one pick?' ... Doris, I don't even know how to construct a Kyrie Irving trade right now for nine million different reasons. Maybe he's laying the groundwork for maybe (the Nets) waive him and he never meets those conditions...
"This was read around the league as — again, not by me I don't know how to read it — it was read around the league as LeBron indicating 'if you guys want to consider it, I'm not going to stand in your way.'"
The timing of LeBron's tweets coming just hours before an anonymously sourced story in which he and his agency fairly transparently argued that the Lakers need to make moves would seemingly also lend credence to that theory.
Report: Lakers are receiving trade calls on Russell Westbrook, but aren't shopping Anthony Davis
Lakers reportedly covet Wizards guard Bradley Beal in trade
Now, for a variety of reasons, it's hard to think about Irving as just a basketball player right now. I'm not going to reiterate why I feel that way here, go ahead and read my prior story for that. It also seems fairly unlikely that the Lakers would trade for a player who is currently suspended for posting a link to an antisemitic movie until he returns and plays games for the Nets again, if that ever happens. For what it's worth, things do seem to be trending that way, for now.
NEW: In sit down, Adam Silver discusses Kyrie Irving. Says Irving isn't antisemitic and that the criticism for the league's delay in disciplining him "may be fair." Also says, the Nets and league are working w/ Irving on "what remediation is appropriate." https://t.co/jeNfqSUgY6

Putting all of that aside for now, though, it's hard not to argue the same thing many of us argued this summer: Replacing Russell Westbrook with Kyrie Irving would improve the Lakers as a basketball team. I, personally, would not argue for such a move right now because of everything else that comes with it, but sports teams are hardly bastions of morality. The Lakers are no exception in that regard, having shown interest in or employed plenty of less-than-model citizens over the years.
That's why I ultimately believe that if such a deal was on the table for the right price, they'd probably do it, LeBron tweets or no LeBron tweets, making all of this a bit moot anyway. Still, to be as far as possible, the team was reportedly reticent to offer Irving a long-term deal this summer, so we know they had at least some reservations about him even before this latest incident.
As far as major takeaways from this report, though, it is notable to have the timing of all the events of yesterday confirmed as coming across exactly the same way to some within the team as it was by many of us outside of it. Whether or not James' apparent Irving advocacy ultimately results in anything is anyone's guess, and would likely be a ways off either way, but at least for now, it seems like the door has not entirely closed on this summer's most theorized potential addition.

Something a little different this week. A lot of people who like science fiction also like fantasy. The two genres are bracketed together under the label speculative fiction. I prefer science fiction but read fantasy occasionally, so here is a fantasy series I can recommend. It's by Bella Forrest, who is a prolific writer, particularly of vampire books.
This is billed as A spine-tingling new fantasy, perfect for adults or teens who enjoyed Harry Potter... I was sceptical, but curious, so I tried the first book, which was free on Kindle. It didn't disappoint.
Like most sane people, student Alex Webber thought he was hallucinating - perhaps he'd consumed something bad at the party he'd been attending that night, or he was severely overtired. But when he sees the mysterious man following Natalie again the very next day, he can no longer disbelieve his eyes.
Although Natalie denies the man's existence, Alex sees her walking with him down a road in his neighborhood he's never seen before - and can't help but follow. After a bizarre, but strangely short journey, he finds himself standing before a towering iron gate wreathed in grey ivy, behind which looms a decrepit old mansion named Spellshadow Manor.
Because Spellshadow's elusive Head is hiding a secret of his own, one that Alex soon realizes he and Natalie must uncover at all costs if either of them wishes to leave the Manor alive... and before it's too late.
I was very sceptical about the claims for this book. After all, Harry Potter takes some beating. But I loved it and can't wait to get book 2. The protagonists are older teenagers who wander into a world of magic and spend their time trying to get out again, but there's much more to it than that. Described very well, the world and the characters are believable, and once you care about them, you're hooked. Highly recommended.

How did Maggie Doyne go from a teenager with a backpack to building a successful foundation and beacon of hope for the children and women of Kopila Valley? By planting a seed at the source of the problem and growing deep roots within the community.
Maggie broke away from what culture defined as "successful". She was applying for colleges, going through the routine and one day woke up and decided she wasn't going to go to college. It was a big decision and she decided to travel.
Maggie's incredible journey starts on a dry riverbed in the foothills of the Himalayas, where she decided to help one young girl, hoping to make one small difference. Actually, she bought land with a few bucks she made baby sitting, that's right.
In the blink of an eye – and with a lot of hard work from a lot of people – that hope turned into a home, a school and so much more.
Kopila Valley was born and soon blossomed into BlinkNow, a nonprofit foundation serving an ever-growing, ever-inspiring community in Surkhet, Nepal.
Their mission is all about the children and women of Kopila Valley.
We topics we discuss include:
How Maggie got started and what inspired her

"I'd have to go up or it's better if you come down and, arm in arm, let's go somewhere else where no one looks at us," says Pierre Reverdy in his poem "Further Away Than There." So many of Reverdy's tiny geometric poems are like this: refreshingly, dizzyingly cubist. You think you're reading a poem but are being manipulated to move around it in a way that's cinematic.
Reverdy's is the latest in The New York Review of Books's new poetry-in-translation series. The tiny ultramarine-and-turquoise book is packed with embittered, contemplative, spooky, lyrical, and emotionally honest poems. Reverdy dares to move a sentence into strange and misleading territory but it seldom makes no sense. The fourteen translators, who include Rosanna Warren and John Ashbery, are as disparate in tone, syntax, and translation style as you can get. It's hats off to Reverdy, then, for producing work so exacting that it reads consistently and lucidly in English.
At the center of the French avant-garde, Reverdy founded Nord-Sud in 1917 with Apollinaire and Max Jacob, and was close friends with the cubist painters Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris. It's because of these friendships that Reverdy became associated with literary cubism. (In March 1917, Juan Gris launched his treatise on cubism, "Sur le Cubisme," in Nord-Sud.) Though Reverdy's Nord-Sud lasted only a year, it embodied and advanced the avant-garde movements, especially surrealism and dadaism, that coalesced and overlapped in wartime Paris.
I skimmed the book from the back forward first, to see where Reverdy ended up. The varied forms (prose poems, fractured lines, squares, paragraphs) force you to constantly reassess, but the diction seemed deliberately chosen. Then I looked at Juan Gris's paintings online. In Fruit Dish, Pipe and Newspaper, the diagonals cut up, down, and across the canvas. Turning back to the Reverdy, I closed in on a few poems, and found a parallel technique in a sentence in Always Alone: "In the street when our arms threw up a bridge, no one looked up and the houses tilted." What an extraordinary scene—the pull between love and its boundaries, their private public space, houses tilting presumably around the lovers.
Whatever Reverdy was doing or how he wanted to spin it, his poems contain structure and surprise. How does he do it? I was thinking about this when I put my Reverdy down to go to contra dancing down the street, which, it turns out, had been going on just five blocks from me for years.
I walked into an empty gym scattered with an oddball mashup of people: a tall, skinny man with a fire-orange halo of hair waited beside an old gentleman with a Charlton-Heston-after-seeing-God beard wearing too-short jean shorts. There were older couples with proud, direct stares, and a woman who, between her flaxen braids and prairie dress, resembled Chloë Sevigny's character in the Mormon-marriage hit Big Love. There were men in skirts and four teens.
Contra dancing includes square dances, waltzes, polkas, and line dances. The choreography lays out a sequence of steps and twirls around the central axis of a couple. The pattern connects each dancer to his or her partner, and each couple to the next. Not unlike Reverdy's progression of phrases and sentences. As the hours passed, more experienced dancers added flamboyant twirls and jigs between the steps, hurled their arms up or out at the end of a do-si-do, or swerved their hips around as they strutted back into the line. To keep from getting dizzy, the MC said, look your partner in the eye. So I locked eyes with strange women and men, their faces close. For hours, I locked gazes intimately with maybe one hundred pairs of eyes, cradled for brief moments in the arms of one stranger before being flung to the next. It was unsettling, and I was careful to wear a sanguine, trusting, or buoyant expression while meeting eyes and coping with the fact that everything was moving.
When I got home, I paged through the book, trying to figure out how Reverdy managed to knit it all together, even while he made me dizzy. Over the next few days, I thumbed through the poems deliriously. I read Reverdy the way I read John Ashbery, one sentence at a time, epigrammatically. I read a few of the poems out loud, a useful grounding technique, then looked over to the French and bumbled my way through it, skewering accents and making a mess out of every guttural or lilting sound I came across. Rhymes popped up internally and at the end of sentences. Reverdy locks it all down through rhyme while his images wander off. Then I looked at the translations and noticed that the only translator in the NYRB collection who held on to the rhyme, and briefly, was the formally fearless Marilyn Hacker. Rhyming's a risk, because Romance languages simply have more rhymes than English. Hacker only does it once. Reverdy's rhymes, despite the eclectic directions the phrases within lines or the sentences take, drive the poem forward. It makes the imagery feel inevitable. Just like those contra-dance meetings-of-eyes, the rhymes locks it in.
There's a comfortable pacing and chronology, and then, delightfully, it upends itself. "Finish" and "diminish" underscore the main idea that things will end, and their placement at the far right of the line suggests they come, like it or not, after a wonderfully free life of exploration. You can literally run to the end of the line and leap off into white space. (And if you do, are you dead or free?) You don't have to decide anything in Reverdy, nor should you have to.
A stairway that leads nowhere climbs around the house. There are, moreover, neither doors nor windows. You see shadows moving on the roof that rush into the emptiness. They fall one by one and do not kill themselves. They quickly climb the stairs again and start over, eternally charmed by the musician who forever plays the violin with his hands that do not listen.
It's both a panning shot and a lesson in perspective. It's typical of the way Reverdy carves out a beautiful space for his cynicism and loneliness. In "Vain Effort": "Upstairs I found empty apartments; they had contained treasures." The house contains pointless crime and someone begging for mercy. He says he's afraid of "discovery"—but of being discovered or of knowledge itself?
I found my answer in "Nothing": "In the night you see nothing gliding anymore but the shadow." Fair enough, that literal and metaphorical darkness.
He spits sparks on the night, cinders, love, lightning, broken wings, hate, stars and gold coins which hasten away. He spits sighs of remorse on the night.
The diction is hopeful, even as Reverdy seethes. Lists tend not to feel despairing because they move forward syntactically. So whatever Reverdy tells me about his anguish, the sound of his verse contradicts; the rage he feeds through his sentences have found a spot in the world, a little house of sorts, though he insists (don't believe him) he is empty.
I found this throughout Reverdy's prose poems, which don't rhyme. Just as rhymes uplift Reverdy's despair because they connect two parts (like contra dancing with its locked eyes and choreographed flow), lists prove that Reverdy is carefully itemizing emotions and images. He is invested enough to list them. These largely narrative poems exude pain, perhaps because they have no structure to contain it.
For now the alley is closed off by the principal letter on the sign that the wind slapped ceaselessly against the tree in the corner of the forest for sale.

The other day, I was grabbing a smoothie after my gym workout when I overheard a sad conversation. A woman was basically telling her friend that she was involved with a married man, that he loved her, but that he "still won't leave that evil b*tch of a wife." I sighed.
It's a tale as old as time, and it's one that most women believe that will never happen to them. However, I've seen enough in life to know that this scenario almost never works out well, especially for the other woman.
If you're in this situation and are a married man's mistress, you need to be aware of the reasons why men will never leave their wives for their mistresses, even after years of adultery. The statistics show that the vast majority of cheating men end up staying with their wives and drop their mistresses once they are caught in the act.
You should not think, not for a second, that you will be the exception to the rule. Here's why he won't leave her for you.
1. Men who cheat enjoy the idea of a mistress rather than a wife, but they don't usually respect them.
He may like you, but the fact is that men who go out to cheat often already have made the decision that he's not going to upgrade you to wife status. Once that decision is made, it's basically set in stone. The reason why men will never leave their wives is simple: whether he admits it or not, a cheating man does not respect his mistress.
2. As boring as being with his wife may be, a cheater realizes that it's better to have that solid foundation than to try to venture into the unknown.
He knows what his wife can deliver, and it's a higher standard of living. A divorce, a breakup, and a foray with a woman who might not live up to his expectations during "reality mode" might not be something he'd willingly undertake. After all, the cost of things falling through with you will be twice as high as the cost of just divorcing his wife alone.
3. Marriage comes with legal issues that will make most men immediately think twice.
It's not so easy to walk away from a relationship with someone you're legally married to. This is true, even among people who absolutely detest their spouses. Most men do not want to deal with the red tape of law, nor do they want to deal with all the legal penalties that come with divorce. So, they'll stay, even if they hate their wives.
4. Additionally, there's also the issue of personal finance.
Divorce is absolutely brutal on one's wallet. In a lot of cases, it can lead to a man (or a woman) losing 50 percent or more of what they own. Unsurprisingly, a lot of men won't divorce their wives because of the financial hit they would take.
5. Then, there's the issue of potentially losing his kids.
I'm assuming a lot of men like their kids. Divorce means that they will likely end up seeing less of their kids, regardless of what they do. If their kids find out that daddy cheated on mommy, it's also very possible that they won't want anything to do with him. Parents will understand why this isn't a price many dads are willing to pay.
6. Of course, people who cheat also will have their public image to worry about.
Nothing quite says "scumbag" like a man who leaves his wife for his mistress. Cheaters are aware of this and the stigma that comes with it. Most of them don't want to face that since they are cowards and this will have long-term consequences.
7. Even if he would logically want to leave, there's also a matter of a Sunk Cost Fallacy to think about.
Sometimes, it's just the fact that he's been with his wife for so long and invested so much into being with her. In economics, this is called the Sunk Cost Fallacy, and it states that people have a tendency to stay with decisions that they've already invested in. If he feels heavily invested, he will be way less likely to leave. And really, what's a bigger investment than marriage?
8. The quality of life they would lose, overall, is one that most men dread losing.
Kids, finances, and reputation aside, there are other benefits to staying in a marriage that we haven't listed. It's nice to have a wife at home who takes care of the kids. It's nice to come home to a clean house, have someone who will take care of you while you're sick, and also just have that regularity in your life. Breaking up would mean losing all the smaller, subtler perks of marriage, and most guys don't want that.
You're his mistress. You don't see him when he has diarrhea. You don't see him when he's getting allergic reactions. He doesn't see you when you're shaving your legs or when your period has gotten out of control. In most cases, the time you spend is when both of you are on your A-game.
You can't keep that up 24/7, and all the allure that you have compared to his wife will fade once things get serious. Many men realize this and will keep you at a distance because of it.
10. Lastly, it's because he already has his cake and eats it, too.
This is what it boils down to. He's got what he wants — on all corners. Why would he change it? Moreover, why would he want to change it? He's got it made, and he knows it. For him, there's absolutely no reason to leave or change the setup he's gotten, so he won't.

THE Australian Emeralds, featuring Kiama's Maddison Tabrett, didn't take their foot off the pedal in their second round match-up with the Netherlands, as they claimed an 18-nil win at the Women's World Cup in Florida. The Emeralds piled on 15 hits in five innings against the Dutch defence, with Chelsea Forkin the main weapon, as she went 4-for-4 with three doubles, a triple and five RBIs to lift her tournament batting average to .643. Western Australian duo Kaila Borgomastro and Morgan Doty combined for a five-inning shutout of the Netherlands, as the pair only surrendered two hits in a stellar performance. Queenslander Taylah Welch finished with three hits and three RBI, while eight time World Cup representative Shae Lillywhite proved an impossible out at the top of the order, going 2-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and three stolen bases. In the win, Tabrett played second base and scored three runs for the Emeralds. Australia will face Puetro Rico in their next game of the second round on Thursday, August 30.
