WMTBOC 2016: Czech Republic and Finland won the Relay
It was in a festive atmosphere that the World MTB Orienteering Championships WMTBOC 2016 came to the end. In Mealhada, with its Urban Park as the epicenter of all emotions, Finland and the Czech Republic got the Relay titles in the Elite classes.
The city of Mealhada hosted the last final of the World MTB Orienteering Championships WMTBOC 2016. For an always exciting Relay, lined up a total of 90 teams, fighting for the Elite and Junior world titles and also for the European Youth titles.
In the Men Elite class, the first note of emotion was given by the Portuguese team, thanks to another excellent performance of Davide Machado, in the lead at the end of the first leg. The Finnish Jussi Laurila was fastest in the second leg, now with the Czech Republic at close three seconds. Less than a minute to the lead, France followed in the third position. With an amazing performance in the final leg, Krystof Bogar was able to increase the advantage of the Czech Republic over its most direct rivals, setting it at the end in 1:51 on Russia, second placed. The victory of the Czech team, with a time of 2:05:44, means the recover of the world title that escaped them since 2013. The third place went to France, with 2:07:39, while Austria, World Champion in 2015, concluded in the 6th position, just one second behind Lithuania, after an exciting sprint in which Jonas Maiselis and Andreas Waldmann were the protagonists.
Hara's day
Avenging the relative failures of the first days – in which two falls kept her away from the gold -, the Finnish Marika Hara had finally the opportunity to celebrate a world title in these Championships. Austria started better than the other teams, with Michaela Gigon to make the fastest time in the first leg, but soon Finland and Russia took the race's control, starting for the decisive leg with a difference of two seconds from each other, with the slight advantage belonging to Finland. During her course, Marika Hara was able to keep the advantage over her most direct opponent, Svetlana Poverina, concluding the race in 1:59:39 against 2:00:01 from the Russian athlete and thus revalidating the world title, which happens for the fourth time in the last five editions of the World Championships. With Martina Tichovska in the final leg, the Czech Republic finished third, 1:39 after the Finnish team.
Kubinova collects fourth gold medal
In the Junior World MTB Orienteering Championships, the Czech Veronika Kubinova has been highlighted again, after winning everything there was to win. Today, in the Relay race, she received the testimony for the final leg with a 33-second disadvantage on Svetlana Poveriba, Russia, finishing with a lead of 59 seconds after another extraordinary race. With this result, Kubinova equals the French Cédric Beill's achievement that, in 2013, won all the world titles in the Men Junior class. As for the M20 class, it was possible to watch an intense struggle between Finland and the Czech Republic, with the final advantage belonging to the Finns by a margin of 28 seconds. France, who defended here its world title, couldn't do better than the 5th place, although Florian Pinsard have recorded the best time in the last leg, winning three places in the final standings. With this result, Finland reaches a title that was escaping since 2009. The Finns were also highlighted in the European Youth Championships, with Eerik Nurminen beating the Russian Pavel Radyvanyuk in the M17 class by the narrow margin of two seconds. In the W17 class, the victory went to France, with a lead of 3:43 over Russia.

Play drums through the Wekinator software platform by programming sliders in Python.
This article will cover how to create a drum machine in Wekinator by building and adjusting sliders programmed through Python.
To start, we'll need to create two sliders coded in Python and send their values to the Wekinator through the OSC protocol.
The Wekinator will be trained according to the input values and return output data.
Processing will receive the output and enable control of the drum program.
The two sliders used in this project are created using the Tkinter interface.
Tkinter is the most commonly used GUI programming toolkit for Python.
It functions as a thin object-oriented layer above the Tcl/Tk programming languages.
By sending the slider values to the Wekinator using the OSC protocol through a specific port, we'll cause both to be the same on both sides.
For the purpose of this guide, we'll be using the 6448 default port for the Wekinator.
GUI window that will appear after running Python code.
A processing sketch should receive three continuous data outputs from the Wekinator and produce music through the drum machine according to them.
The sketch is available through the Wekinator website.
After downloading the 'simple continuously-controlled drum machine' file from the Wekinator website, unzip it and run the sketch in processing.
Reference the image below to see how this step should look.
How the 'simple continuously-controlled drum machine' file will look running in processing.
Launch the Wekinator platform and change the settings to the values shown in the below figure.
Set the output type to "all continuous"
The Wekinator should now be capable of sending the three continuous outputs to programming.
The Wekinator 'Create New Project' window displaying input and output changes.
Click on the next button and the 'New Project' window will appear.
The Wekinator 'New Project' window displaying output sliders.
Now, drag the sliders in the Tkinter GUI window to any position and select randomize button.
Start the recording for a second in order to record some samples.
Drag the sliders again the Tkinter GUI window to a random placement and randomize them.
Start the recording again for a minute or so.
Once again, drag the sliders in the Tkinter GUI window to a place of your choosing and select randomize.
Finally, click on 'Train' and run the program. This time when you drag the sliders in the Tkinter GUI window it will activate the drum machine.

This paper explores some of the conflicting priorities between childcare by for-profit entrepreneurs and non-profit or state systems. The paper considers the limitations of using the market as a workable model for the organisation and delivery of childcare. It presents a brief overview of the reach of economics as a basis for making decisions about childcare, and describes changes in ideas about the application of market principles to traditional welfare contexts.

Harridge to incorporate landmarked building into Crossroads of the World
The developer had previously planned to demolish the 1930s building
Apr.April 19, 2018 03:00 PM
Rendering of Crossroads Hollywood (Crossroads of the World)
Harridge Development Group now says it will incorporate the newly landmarked Hollywood Reporter building into its Crossroads of the World megaproject.
The new decision comes less than a month from the first big hearing before the city on the project, and follows public outcry to save the property, Curbed reported. The building, located at 6715 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, was set for demolition before it was awarded landmark status in November.
Overall, the 1.4 million-square-foot Crossroads project will deliver 950 apartments and condos, a 308-key hotel and 190,000 square feet of commercial space. It will have nine buildings, including three skyscrapers, and will cost between $500 million and $600 million, the Los Angeles Business Journal previously reported.
The complex will also have 105 affordable residential units, up from the original 84, according to a public hearing notice.
Harridge unveiled plans for the 7 site nearly three years ago.
It has faced a series of delays along the way, the bulk of which stemming from preservation advocates and activist groups.
Elsewhere in Hollywood, Millennium Partners is revamping plans for its $1 billion Hollywood Center project. The developer, which proposed the complex in 2012, filed new plans with the city last week, revealing details showing it nearly doubled the number of residential units proposed for the site.

A Proposal for a New Taxonomy of Animal Law
By Steven Wise on December 12, 2017
In November I traveled to Stockholm and Helsinki to lecture about the work of the Nonhuman Rights Project, to engage in Q&A sessions with audiences following showings of Unlocking the Cage, and to meet the Swedish and Finnish lawyers, legal scholars, and law students who have so diligently been working to lay the foundation for obtaining legal personhood and fundamental rights for nonhuman animals in their countries.
The chair of the joint Swedish/Finnish Legal Working Group is Birgitta Wahlberg, who is soon returning to her native Finland from Stockholm where she will assume the leadership of the new Finnish Group. Birgitta, a legal scholar and fierce advocate for the legal personhood of nonhuman animals, and I spent hours talking about our mutual interest in attaining legal rights for nonhuman animals and our belief that the age of animal welfare and animal protection, which began almost two hundred years ago, is on the wane, while the age of civil rights for nonhuman animals is on the rise.

This led to discussions about the differences in the diverse legal systems in which we operate, visit, and teach and how crucial it is for animal advocates in every jurisdiction to get important definitions straight.
The term "animal law" long ago came to mean "animal welfare" or "animal protection," occasionally leavened with some philosophical thought about rights, while sometimes extending to anything that helps nonhuman animals in almost any way. But with the emergence of the Nonhuman Rights Project, which calls itself a civil rights organization that focuses on the legal rights of nonhuman animals, a distinction between the legal meanings of "animal rights" and "animal welfare" or "animal protection" has moved into courtrooms and is heading to legislatures and administrative agencies around the world.

But the Nonhuman Rights Project frequently encounters people who see only a single field of "animal law." Some judges, for example, look blankly at us when we insist that we are not in court to protect our nonhuman client's welfare, but her rights. Others, even in the animal rights movement, insist they are fighting for the "rights" of nonhuman animals but are merely trying to improve their welfare. And so the vagueness with which key animal advocacy terms are deployed has become a important and recurring problem. Journalists want to know precisely what they are writing about. Students are curious to know what the subject of their classes are. Donors insist upon knowing what their donations will be used to promote. Judges and legislators need to know what they should support and what their constituents support and why.
Birgitta has long asked the question "What is 'Animal Law'?" The leading casebook, Animal Law, says its subject "is, in its simplest and (broadest) sense, statutory and decisional law in which the nature – legal, social or biological – of nonhuman animals is an important factor." Courses that contain the phrase "Animal Law" are often taught in law schools around the world. However I have never taught a course by that name; I have always taught "Animal Rights Law" or "Animal Rights Jurisprudence" whether I am teaching at Harvard, Stanford, Lewis and Clark, Vermont, or other law schools. We believe these courses are teaching different subjects.
What, we asked each other, were the true relationships amongst "Animal Law," "Animal Rights Jurisprudence," "Animal Rights Law," "animal rights," "animal protection," and "animal welfare"?
We drew diagrams and Venn diagrams in an attempt to puzzle out what these terms stood for and what their relationships were to each other in the hope we might begin to standardize them so that everyone will better understand what the terms being used actually mean, at least in the legal realm.
Here is what we propose.
It seemed to us that the overarching discipline should be called "Animal Law" or "Animal Jurisprudence" and that there exist three distinct branches, each with a different focus and purpose, though statutes may address more than one branch at the same time.
Animal Welfare/Animal Protection
The first branch concerns the traditional focus on duties imposed upon human beings with respect to how they should treat nonhuman animals in their capacity as rightless "things" or "objects of protection" and more recently, "sentient beings," that lack the capacity for legal rights. This we propose is be called "Animal Welfare" or "Animal Protection," which we see as the same thing. While near-toothless when standing alone, as the law concerning humans demonstrates, this branch of "Animal Law" becomes vital when combined with rights.
The second branch concerns the rising new focus on those nonhuman animals who are designated as "persons" with the capacity for one or an infinite number of legal rights. This branch we propose to be called "Animal Rights." This is the work of the Nonhuman Rights Project.
Animal Regulation
The third branch is law that regulates human actions that have an indirect impact upon the lives of nonhuman animals without imposing either indirect and enforceable duties upon humans to treat them in a certain way or granting rights to them. Examples include the purchase and sale of nonhuman animals or the relationship between tenants who own nonhuman animals and their landlords. This branch we propose to call "Animal Regulation."
We hope this blog post is a first step towards clarifying what legal professionals mean when they address that law that affects nonhuman animals.

I am searching for information on my grandfather's origins. He was known as Louey Hee, b. 13/10/1874, in Toishan. He arrived in Launceston, 1896 on S.S.Chungtu. He settled in Melbourne living exclusively in Little Bourke Street, until he died in 1951. During that period he owned a number of restaurants. I have recently acquired a copy of his will which mentions a grandson, Louey Gooey Shau, of Toishan. It appears that there was family, possibly prior to arrival in Australia. I would be interested to find details of this family connection but am at a loss as to how to start.
I am trying to trace the AH FOO family who came from SUNNING. Arthur Ah Foo visited Sunning several times during the 1910s and 1920s. His parents were Louey Ah FOO and Gertrude Mary Ah Foo. Arthur later in life in Australia dropped the AH and became known as Arthur Foo in the 1940s. I assume his parents died in Sunning Canton – his mother having been born in Australia. I had hoped some death records for Gertrude ah Foo (nee Goon Wing) would be avaialable in China. Any help appreciated.
Hi Peter. Unfortunately there are no centralised death records in Guangdong that I know of. To do further research in China you usually need people's names in Chinese characters and the name of the ancestral village. Cheers, Kate.
Sunning County is the old name for Taishan City. Consequently you should consult the USA Immigration Services index to family names published in 1963. It's been digitised by Dominic Wu. It's link is that for the Roots db.
Will you be doing a similar post for the Amoy/Fukien migrants? I've read that Chen/Chin is the most common family name in Xiamen, but you imply that that name would be Tan in Hokkien, so is there also a Chin name that meant something different among Hokkien speakers?
I won't be doing a similar post for the early Amoy migrants, as I haven't traced anyone back to Fujian myself. From my experience, the information needed (Chinese name and village origin) is rarely found in Australian records about the Amoy Chinese who came in the 1840s and 1850s. But I'd love to know if anyone has been successful in such a quest.
A list of common Chinese surnames in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Chinese_surnames) gives the pronunciations/romanisation of the surnames in Hokkien (Min Nan). The section on common Singapore Chinese surnames might also be of interest to you.
Thanks for replying. Sadly, I don't have the necessary clues to trace our man from Amoy.
Our line of the family worked hard to suppress their Chinese origins. We're not even quite sure what his name really was. I work from the theory that the name he was buried as: 'Joseph Chu Chin' was a westernisation of 'Chin Chu' + Joseph, an anglicisation of whatever his personal name was.
We think he was one of the undocumented labourers brought to southern New South Wales in the early 1850s. He married an Irish girl in Wollongong and had a couple of children before moving to the Braidwood district where his story became intermingled with gold seeking Chinese.
In the early years of the 20th century most of his descendants hid their Chinese origins, morphing their family name into English variants like 'Churchill and 'Churchin', although at least one of his daughters married into the defiantly proud Australian Chinese community.
Even if we never learn anything more about Joseph's origins, it would be good to find that someone has managed to learn the full story of an Amoy ancestor.
Thanks too for the general information about Chinese surnames, but more for your mention of Min Chinese. That explains how one or more members of Joseph's family may have worked as a translator on the Araluen goldfields despite apparently speaking a different variant of the Chinese.
My family story is similar to Michael's. Though I found my Chinese ancestor mentioned in Margaret Slocomb's book 'Chinese Indentured Pastoral Workers on the Norther Frontier 1848 to 1880'. His name was Tan Wan and later settled in Banana, Central Queensland, having four children with an woman from New York. The male descendents became well known as jockey(s) and trainer(s) in horse racing post WW1 – 1950s. I'm descended from his female line. I found a record of my great-great grandfather because the station to which he was contracted was still in the hands of the same family, who had donated historic employment records to the archives. Because these indentured labourers had contracts assigned to pastoralists by the importing ship's captain, are there any records still in existence in the National Library or Qld State Library archives?
Hi Tony. There are archival materials in various libraries, such as station records in the John Oxley Library (which were used by Margaret Slocombe) and the papers of Robert Towns in the State Library of NSW. If you're interested in pursuing this, I'd look closely at the footnotes in Slocombe's book to see if she's used any of relevance to your ancestor, and it would also be worth having a look at the work of Maxine Darnell, who has also written on the Amoy indentured labourers. Good luck!
Hi Kate. I don't know why I missed your post last Sept. I'm still interested in pursuing the original indenture documents for Tan Wan clues. I reside in Cairns, though am a member of Qld State Library so will begin there. I'm also familiar with Darnell's work. There is no recorded marriage for Tan Wan & Emma Levy and the children were registered as illegitimate though his name is recorded as father for the first child Birth Register entry on 6 May 1866. The 'Father' column details were retrospectively amended a year later on 8 Nov 1867. They were circled and a side entry made by the Rockhampton District Registrar noted it should read 'illegitimate'. Seems to be an administrative attempt to rewrite history. The children took the family name Tanwan and his partner Emma death record name is Tanwan so subsequent Birth, Death, Marriage records are easy to locate. I am unable to find an official death record of Tan Wan, though suspect he may be buried in a Chinese section of the Banana Qld cemetery and these records may be lost. I do not think he returned to China as some did, given his children seemed to do well and inter-married with other pioneering families. .
Have found a Robert Seeong, Amoy, China married my great grandmother Mary Jane Lee on 20 January 1867. Robert died 18 August 1903 in Roma, Queensland, Australia. I do have a copy of their marriage certificate. Robert is also listed on my grandfather's birth certificate.

Hi Foxtrot, can you write a proxy that can accelerate video download speed by openning more than 1 connection when watching online video ?

FDA and the EMA (European Medicines Agency) Issue Q&A Document to Communicate Results from Initial QbD Parallel Assessment
/ Compliance / FDA and the EMA (European Medicines Agency) Issue Q&A Document to Communicate Results from Initial QbD Parallel Assessment
By Bob Pollock | August 22, 2013 | Compliance, FDA, Generics, Regulatory Affairs | Like |
On August 20, 2013, FDA and the EMA (European Medicines Agency) published a document entitled, "EMA-FDA pilot program for parallel assessment of Quality-by-Design applications: Lessons learnt and Q&A resulting from the first parallel assessment." The Q&A document provides information regarding agreements that were made between the agencies as a result of the first FDA-EMA parallel assessment that was conducted in a three year pilot program that began in March 2011. The document fulfills an objective of the program to share program results with the public. The pilot parallel assessment program provides a mechanism for NDA and MAA reviewers to exchange and discuss their findings regarding the implementation of ICH concepts and regulatory requirements for certain Quality/CMC sections that are relevant to QbD (quality by design) such as drug development, design space, and real time release testing. A main purpose of this pilot program is to ensure consistent implementation between the EU and the US of ICH Q8 (Pharmaceutical Development), Q9 (Quality Risk Management), and Q10 (Pharmaceutical Quality System) guidelines.
The full Q&A document can be found here.
Some highlights from the document are:
Critical quality attributes (CQAs) should be listed for the drug substance(s), finished product and excipients, when relevant, in a tabular format. A discussion should be provided regarding how the drug substance and excipient CQAs relate to the finished product CQAs.
The Agencies did not accept a three-tier classification of critical process parameters (parameters whose variability has an impact on a CQA). The applicant proposed that parameters be assessed as critical, key, and non-critical. The Agencies will accept such an approach in a Pharmaceutical Development Report as a way to communicate development findings; however, the description of all parameters that have an impact on CQA should be classified as "critical" in Sections 3.2.P.3.3 (Description of the Manufacturing Process and Process Controls) and 3.2.P.3.4 (Control of Critical Steps and Intermediates).
With regard to the level of detail for the manufacturing process description, process descriptions must be comprehensive. The Q&A document provides guidance regarding how much information should be provided.
There is currently no international consensus on the definition of ATP (Analytical Target Profiles) and MODR (Method Operational Design Ranges) for analytical methods. Until consensus is achieved, any application that includes these QbD concepts will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
An ATP can potentially be used as a qualifier of the expected method performance by analogy to the QTPP (Quality Target Product Profile) as defined in ICH Q8(R2). However, the Agencies will not consider analytical methods that have different principles to be equivalent solely on the basis of conformance with the ATP.
Similar principles and data requirements described in the ICH Quality Working Group Points to Consider (R2), Section 6 "Design Space", could apply for MODRs. For example, data to support an MODR could include: (a) appropriately chosen experimental protocols to support the proposed operating ranges / conditions; and (b) demonstration of statistical confidence throughout the MODR. Issues that will require further consideration include the assessment of validation requirements as identified in ICH Q2(R1) throughout the MODR and confirmation of system suitability across all areas of the MODR.
The pilot program appears to be making strides in its goal to ensure consistent reviews between the EU and the US regulatory agencies. As more parallel reviews are completed, we hope to gain further understanding from the two agencies with regard to their unified expectations for NDAs and MAAs utilizing QbD principles.

Q: How to Insert 1.2 million of Insert Command having in .sql file I have .sql file which contains 1200000 Insert command.,
When I am executing by opening in SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT it says
Insufficient memory to continue the execution of program

I was thinking to execute directly command prompt but facing Issue tried this sqlcmd -d database Name -i fileName.sql
please Help.

A: My suggestion is

*

*To first import the file in the database

*Run each statement as a dynamic sql statement

For Step 1
You can try with bulk insert like the following
BULK INSERT dbo.temp
FROM 'c:\temp\file.txt'
WITH
(
    ROWTERMINATOR ='\n'
)

You can also use OPENROWSET like
SELECT BulkColumn FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'c:\temp\mytxtfile.txt', SINGLE_CLOB) MyFile

The following link gives more details
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1643/using-openrowset-to-read-large-files-into-sql-server/
Or if nothing of the above works you can create an SSIS package and try to import the file into a table.
For Step 2
Finally once the insert statements are in a table, loop the table to execute the insert statements with BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT statement.
You would need to execute your statements using dynamic sql with the help of EXEC or sp_executesql. The following link will guide you with the same.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1160/execute-dynamic-sql-commands-in-sql-server/
Hope this helps

A: For MySQL
Option 1 : On ubuntu, linux and mac system terminal command as below
$ mysql -uuser -p < /path/to/your/file.sql
OR
$ mysql -uuser -p -e "source /path/to/your/file.sql"

Option 2 : on Windows system try below commands
C:\> mysql -uuser -p < H:/path/to/your/file.sql
OR
C:\> mysql -uuser -p -e "source H:/path/to/your/file.sql"

Before try above commands need to upload a file on server or local machine, commands accepts file from local only of server not external path
For MsSQL import from .sql file
sqlcmd -S .\SQLEXPRESS -E -i "C:\path\file.sql"

import for .csv file
BULK INSERT tablename
    FROM 'C:\CSVData\filename.csv'
    WITH
    (
    FIRSTROW = 2,
    FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',  --CSV field delimiter
    ROWTERMINATOR = '\n',   --Use to shift the control to next row
    ERRORFILE = 'C:\CSVDATA\ImportErrorRows.csv',
    TABLOCK
    )

Leadership can seem mysterious to those yet to work under a great leader. To appreciate leadership for what it is, you need an education on the subject. The tips that follow will help you on your journey toward becoming a better leader.
An important leadership characteristic is honesty. A leader that's effective will need to be trustworthy as well. Being honest and trustworthy are important skills for any leader. It is only when people are positive that they can trust you that they will look up to you as a real leader.
Any good leader has to focus on times to come. You have to know what's next and how to prepare for it. Obviously, you won't always know what the future holds, but with learning and practice, your gut can steer you correctly more often than you think. Always know where you'd like to be in the future and work towards that.
Always make moral choices as a leader. Be sure that you are totally okay with all of the decisions you make. If a decision will upset you, don't do it. Even though some people might not have similar moral beliefs as you, you must do what is right in your heart.
Spotting talent in other people is a sign of a good leader. When you look for assistance, it needs to be easy for you to pick who would benefit you most. Use this technique for small job contracting and your full-time team.
Do not act in any manner that seems deceitful. To be a trustworthy leader you need to keep the promises that you make. If you make a claim about having the best service available, you need to back it up with actual results.
Do not address your group unless you are prepared. Anticipate their questions in advance. Be sure you are considerate and think of good answers pertaining to their questions. The team is sure to respect you if you are able to provide concrete answers. Doing this will also save you time.
Be open and honest as soon as there are any issues. Business issues can't be hidden as they once were. What is the reason for this? It's because people can easily communicate nowadays. The situation will be exposed no matter how much you try to hide it. So, why not be the person controlling the message instead of reacting to it? This is the attitude shared by effective leaders.
Own up to the mistakes you make. Even great leaders are wrong sometimes. The great leaders are the ones who can own their mistakes and work to fix them. It just means that you're human. This may not look like something a leader should be doing, but sometimes being more human can get people to be more loyal to you.
There is no substitute for true leadership when it comes to the ability of any business enterprise to attain real success. Without having a good base of knowledge for what makes a good leader, it can be very difficult to achieve great things. Hopefully, this article should have helped with your issue.

Watching With the Enemy: Yeovil 1, Leeds Utd 2 – by Rob Atkinson
Following Leeds United by any means is traditionally a frustrating experience. Watching them "live and as it happens" on Sky TV can be downright infuriating, especially if, as I do, you prefer your journalism impartial and unbiased. It's something which negatively affects the Sky experience, whichever way the game is going. When Leeds are struggling and go a goal behind, the commentators' jubilation makes you want to fasten your hands around the offenders' throats and squeeze tightly. When our heroes come back, taking the lead and seeing it out, the funereal sulkiness is no less annoying. But circumstances dictate that I could not make the trip to the West Country, so I must perforce grit my teeth and try to relax and enjoy the match. Fat chance.
This game at Yeovil took place at the end of a week you would think could have been played out only in the most lurid fiction, dreamed up by the over-active imagination of a hopeless fantasist on some really powerful mushrooms. Quite frankly, I'm too tired to go over those events again; suffice it to say that the bizarre weather conditions at Yeovil's tiny and typhoon-ravaged ground seemed like the most mundane normality compared to what had gone before. Most of the first half consisted of the Leeds players striving to propel the ball anywhere near the home side's half of the pitch, their clearances mostly ballooning into the air, performing a complicated loop-the-loop and drifting back towards the United goal. Rinse and repeat. Our neutral and unbiased commentators, Daniel Mann and Don Goodman, were getting more and more uneasy at Yeovil's failure to capitalise on the conditions; clearly the prospect of Leeds benefiting from playing the other way in the second half was a matter of extreme concern. There was a peak of joy and a trough of deep disappointment ahead for them, before the half-time whistle blew.
First, a left-wing corner just after the half-hour. "At last, an in-swinger coming", breathed the commentator, fired with anticipation. And then joy unconfined as the ball whipped in viciously to be met by the head of Ishmael Miller and rocket past Paddy Kenny into the Leeds net. Mann and Goodman brought out their pre-baked line about it being the first time in history that Yeovil had taken the lead against United, as renewed optimism surged through them. Kenny was less chuffed; he had spent most of the half with the look of a man who suspects a practical joke is being played upon him, regarding the ball with the utmost suspicion as its path through the air invariably took some unpredictable diversion. Now he shook his head, glumly. It was not a day for keepers or defenders, not in the teeth of this gale – but Leeds had almost weathered the storm and could feel optimistic about a wind-assisted second half with just the one goal to pull back.
Then, disaster – depending on your point of view. Mann and Goodman exulted – a penalty to Yeovil, conceded by Sam Byram's tackle on Kevin Dawson, and a chance for the home team to establish a lead they might hope to hold against the wind in the second half. I slouched down in my seat, ready for the worst – but Miller blasted the spot-kick gloriously high, clipping the crossbar before continuing on into low Earth orbit. I allowed myself a cautious smile, but the misery in the commentary box was palpable; a great chance missed to go in two goals to the good – now there were very real fears over what the second half might bring.
Barely half a minute into that second period, those worst fears of Messrs Mann and Goodman were realised. A comical kick-out from Town keeper Marek Stech resembled a vertical banana as it soared high and reversed direction, dropping to the lethal Ross McCormack. The United striker snapped up possession, shifted the ball past a defender onto his right foot and dispatched a beautiful curling effort wide of Stech into the far corner. "Might have been a slight deflection on that," grumbled a morose Goodman. 200 miles north, my joy was only slightly tempered by the obvious sulkiness of the Sky guys. We were level – suck it up.
As the second half progressed, the weather stayed remarkably faithful to Leeds, contrary to my pessimistic half-time feeling that the wind would probably change for the second forty-five. Leeds were thus enabled to do to their hosts as they themselves had been done by in the first half, and at one point a possession graphic showed the unimpressive figure of 0% Yeovil activity in United's final third. Town did pose the odd threat, however – commentator Mann grabbing the chance to claim that Yeovil were dealing better with playing into the wind than Leeds had – but it was mainly one-way traffic apart from a few home forays towards the United goal, with one comical but alarming piece of juggling by Kenny being safely retrieved.
A bizarre match was decided in an inevitably bizarre fashion. Leeds won a free-kick on the right, far out from Town's goal. With sub Matt Smith on, it was tailor-made for a high, in-swinging delivery, and Stephen Warnock duly obliged – only to see the ball evade Smith and all of the other personnel in the penalty area, including Town keeper Stech, as it described a parabolic trajectory up and then down over all of the helpless heads and arms, into the Yeovil net. Warnock triumphantly raised his arm as if he'd meant it, the Leeds players and fans cavorted with joy at the turning of the tables, and the gruesome twosome of Mann and Goodman very nearly wept.
That was pretty much it for a game of two halves but one fairly consistent gale. Jimmy Kebe, falling short of his performance of last week in a very different sort of game, could and should have scored a third, as perhaps should McCormack himself. There was still time for Mann to welcome Yeovil sub James Hayter with the story of how he did for Leeds in a Wembley play-off final, but any wishful thinking along those lines was doomed to come to nothing. Leeds could even have had more, but were wasteful, meaning that the two Yeovil fans-for-a-day on the Sky gantry could hold onto some shreds of hope right to the end. But end it did, with United victorious, Yeovil plucky but beaten, and the broadcasters misty of eye and with lips aquiver, trying to put a brave face on things.
Afterwards, Brian McDermott was invited into the Sky studio under the beady gaze of Peter Beagrie where, subjected to some fairly intense and persistent questioning, he produced another bravura performance of dignity and restraint, refusing to be drawn on his future, refusing to comment on the changes currently sweeping through the club, insisting time and again on emphasising his commitment to the team, his staff and most of all the Leeds United "army" of fans. What a guy. If that most precious managerial commodity – time – could be earned by sheer class and composure, then Brian would be in the job until the day he draws his pension. Sadly, it's unlikely to work out that way but, in the meantime, hats off to a quality man.
So, it's on to Brighton next Tuesday and thankfully a game out of the Sky TV glare, before Signor Cellino's date with the Football League. Who knows what will have happened in the Leeds United soap opera by the time next weekend rolls around? That's a break for Leeds who have no game thanks to their early FA Cup exit. But even though there'll be no football, you somehow know that the on-going story of the Damned United will still be twisting, turning and baffling us all – and you know that Sky TV will still be sniffing around and hoping against hope that it all ends in tears for the Whites. Fingers crossed that there's more misery ahead for Murdoch's men.
