Houston Invitational welcomes top teams for challenging weekend
By Jhair Romero February 7, 2019

After a disappointing loss in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional ended their 2018 season, the Cougars are looking to start the new year off right in the team's five-game opening weekend at the Houston Invitational.
Houston will host a doubleheader against Kentucky and Oklahoma State to kick off the invitational Friday afternoon.
The Wildcats are coming off a historic season for its program as head coach Rachel Lawson led her team to its sixth NCAA Super Regional in eight years, and the team was just one win short of a berth in the Women's College World Series.
UK will be returning seven starters from last season, including All-SEC sophomore pitcher Grace Baalman, whom UH should be wary of.
Kentucky is heading into the matchup placed No. 13 in the NCAA's rankings, which Houston, although unranked, also received votes in.
OSU has found its way to No. 22 in the rankings before its game with UH and is also coming off a letdown in the NCAA Regionals last season.
Two Cowgirl standouts happen to be coming back home when they travel down to the Lone Star State.
Seniors Taylor Lynch from Red Oak and infielder Madi Sue Montgomery of Burleson were both named All-Big 12 performers last season, and both could prove challenging for UH.
The Cougars and the Wildcats will meet again in the first game of Saturday afternoon's doubleheader where Houston will also face Illinois.
Although Illinois was not ranked and did not go beyond the Big 10 Conference Tournament in the 2018 postseason, it had a very similar record to the Cougars.
Both teams ended the year with 37 wins under their belts, but Houston tallied 22 losses to Illinois's 18.
On the final day of the invitational, Houston will challenge a familiar in-state opponent, Sam Houston State.
Halfway through last season, the Cougars marched 70 miles north to Huntsville, confident it would get two easy wins against the 11–18 Bearkats.
But SHSU gave UH a run for its money, lighting up the team's defense for 11 runs in the second game of the two's doubleheader in a losing effort.
Houston eventually won the game in a 13–11 extra-innings thriller but learned not to count out any of the teams it plays.
Even if Houston does not win, head coach Kristin Vesely said she wants to see her team compete and bounce back from any adversity.
The Cougars are set to have a loaded and tough weekend against some of the best teams the sport has to offer, but with five All-AAC players returning, the team is hopeful that it can succeed.
The first game against Kentucky is at 3:30 p.m. Friday, and the second against Oklahoma State is at 6 p.m.

Q: Flux through a section of a sphere Given $\textbf{F} = \langle 0,x,0 \rangle $ and $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = a^2 $ where $ x\geq0, y\geq 0, z\geq0 $, calculate the flux through the surface
If I parameterize the surface as:
$$x=\cos u\sin v$$
$$y=a\sin u\sin v$$
$$z=a\cos v$$
with $0\leq u\leq \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $0\leq v\leq \frac{\pi}{2}$
I get a flux of $-a^3/3$
OR if I parameterize the surface as:
$$x=\cos u\cos v$$
$$y=a\sin u\cos v$$
$$z=a\sin v$$
with $0\leq u \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq v \leq 0$
I get a flux of $a^3/3$
Why are they opposite in sign when the flux should be invariant under any coord system as a physical quantity? The answer in the book is positive.

A: Flux depends on the designated normal direction.  From the other side of the surface the flux has the opposite sign.  For non-closed surfaces in space, we usually follow the convention that the "positive" normal vector is the one that points upwards, i.e., has positive $z$-component.
If you are computing the surface integral in the usual manner, you are probably forming the vector-valued function $\mathbf{r} = \left<a \cos(u) \sin(v),a\sin(u)\sin(v),a\cos(v)\right>$.  Then
$$
\iint_S \mathbf{F}\cdot d\mathbf{S} = \iint_D \mathbf{F}(\mathbf{r}(u,v))\cdot (\mathbf{r}_u \times \mathbf{r}_v)\,dA
$$
where $S$ is the surface in question (an eighth of the sphere, BTW), and $D=[0,\pi/2]\times[0,\pi/2]$.  But notice
$$\mathbf{r}_u =\left<-a\sin(u)\sin(v),a\cos(u)\sin(v),0\right>$$
and
$$\mathbf{r}_v =\left<a \cos(u)\cos(v),a\sin(u)\cos(v),-a\sin(v)\right>$$
So
$$
\mathbf{r}_u\times\mathbf{r}_v= \left<-a^2\cos(u)\sin^2(v),-a^2\sin(u)\sin^2(v),-a^2 \sin(v)\cos(v)\right>
$$
Notice this vector points downwards on $S$.  So we take its opposite vector, or take the cross product in the opposite order, to correctly orient the surface.
Since
$$
\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{r}(u,v))\cdot (\mathbf{r}_v \times \mathbf{r}_u)
= \left<0,a \cos(u) \sin(v),0\right>\cdot\left<a^2\cos(u)\sin^2(v),a^2\sin(u)\sin^2(v),a^2 \sin(v)\cos(v)\right>
= a^3 \sin(u)\cos(u)\sin^3(v)
$$
The integral is equal to
$$
\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_0^{\pi/2} a^3 \sin(u)\cos(u)\sin^3(v)\,dv\,du = \frac{a^3}{3}
$$

L'East Lancs Myllennium Lolyne è un allestimento per un modello di autobus a due piani realizzato su telaio Dennis Trident 2 prodotto dalla East Lancashire Coachbuilders.

Storia

Il Myllennium Lolyne ha sostituito l'East Lancs Lolyne. Il Lolyne era anche una carrozzeria East Lancs per il Dennis Trident 2, ma nel 2002 è stato effettuato un rifacimento estetico che ha portato alla aggiunta delle caratteristiche di design della serie Myllennium della East Lancs.

Per questo è stato dato il nuovo nome di Myllennium Lolyne al modello Lolyne.

Caratteristiche

Per la struttura del Lolyne è stato utilizzato il sistema Alusuisse "System M5438" per rendere ottimale la resistenza. La vetratura è stata fatta con vetro laminato e le guarnizioni dei cristalli sono standard e sono disponibili dei vetri dalle forme arrotondate così come i finestrini ad apertura laterale.

Il riscaldamento è controllato da un termostato mentre i finestrini e le bocchette dell'aria forniscono la ventilazione. I sedili sono realizzati secondo le richieste del cliente. Il pavimento del piano inferiore è formato da compensato da 12 mm di spessore in betulla della Finlandia. Su tutti e due i piani il pavimento ha un rivestimento antiscivolo.  Sul soffitto sono montate delle lampade fluorescenti e i fari anteriori sono alogeni e di forma rotonda. Il veicolo è dotato anche di TV a circuito chiuso.

L'unità di indicazione della destinazione è, di serie, solo manuale. Le porte sono azionate da un impianto ad aria e sono realizzate in vetro rinforzato. Per il conducente è stato realizzato un semplice compartimento per rendergli più facile il lavoro.

SEC Adopts Amendments to Modernize Shareholder Proposal Rule
September 24th | 2020
The SEC recently voted to adopt amendments to modernize its shareholder proposal rule, which governs the process for a shareholder to have its proposal included in a company's proxy statement for consideration by all of the company's shareholders. The proposal amends the amount and length of ownership of the proposing shareholder for initial inclusion in the proxy statement and the amount of support from other shareholders needed to subsequently resubmit a proposal that fails. A few of the highlights from SEC's press release state the amendments will:
Replace the current ownership threshold, which requires holding at least $2,000 or 1% of a company's securities for at least one year, with three alternative thresholds that will require a shareholder to demonstrate continuous ownership of at least:
$2,000 of the company's securities for at least three years;
$15,000 of the company's securities for at least two years; or
$25,000 of the company's securities for at least one year.
Prohibit the aggregation of holdings for purposes of satisfying the amended ownership thresholds;
Require that a shareholder who elects to use a representative for the purpose of submitting a shareholder proposal provide documentation to make clear that the representative is authorized to act on the shareholder's behalf and to provide a meaningful degree of assurance as to the shareholder's identity, role and interest in a proposal that is submitted for inclusion in a company's proxy statement; and
Require that each shareholder state that he or she is able to meet with the company, either in person or via teleconference, no less than 10 calendar days, nor more than 30 calendar days, after submission of the shareholder proposal, and provide contact information as well as specific business days and times that the shareholder is available to discuss the proposal with the company.
Apply the one-proposal rule to "each person" rather than "each shareholder" who submits a proposal, such that a shareholder-proponent will not be permitted to submit one proposal in his or her own name and simultaneously serve as a representative to submit a different proposal on another shareholder's behalf for consideration at the same meeting.
Revise the levels of shareholder support a proposal must receive to be eligible for resubmission at the same company's future shareholder meetings from 3%, 6% and 10% for matters previously voted on once, twice or three or more times in the last five years, with thresholds of 5%, 15% and 25%.
The amendments will be effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and the final amendments will apply to any proposal submitted for an annual or special meeting to be held on or after January 1, 2022. The final rules also provide for a transition period with respect to the ownership thresholds that will allow certain shareholders to rely on prior ownership threshold for proposals submitted for an annual or special meeting to be held prior to January 1, 2023.


In Baikonur, Kazakhstan, the rockets continue to launch on time.
The Soyuz MS-09 rocket carrying the Expedition 56 crew to the International Space Station lifts off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
BAIKONUR, KAZAKHSTAN – That rocket looked so tiny from a mile away. Shining white against the dull beige sands of Baikonur, the Soyuz had three people on board all set for a ride to the International Space Station. From this distance, though, it appeared fragile, like a child's plaything.
Standing beside me was a member of the backup crew, Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques. He passed the time talking to me about other launches he had seen. When the Soyuz finally lighted its engines – kicking up dust, roaring in its straps – Saint-Jacques fell silent, presumably counting down milestones as the rocket began its flight.
Once set free, the Soyuz quickly sprang up into the blue sky. The crowd of locals and journalists surrounding me cheered. I focused my camera on the rocket and turned back to Saint-Jacques, silently watching its flawless ascent into the clouds. His turn will be in December, carrying on a long line of tradition surrounding each one of these rocket launches from Kazakhstan.
Expedition 56 crewmembers (from left) Serena Aunon-Chancellor of NASA, Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos, and Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency undergo their first Soyuz fit check during a dress rehearsal prior to launch.
Baikonur is an oppressive place, unforgiving, friendly only to camels and hardy plants. Yet the rockets keep launching here on time. (This one lifted off at precisely the right moment, on June 6 at 5:12 p.m. local – 7:12 a.m. EDT.) In winter, winds howl across the plain and temperatures often dip below -40 degrees Fahrenheit. In summer, it's just the opposite, with heat and Sun baking bystanders and workers alike.
Yet we came, all 43 of us, a corps made up of people from France and Germany and Canada. In a group that large facing a language barrier, unrelenting heat and hours ferrying between sites on buses, the trip is either going to go very well – or very poorly. Luckily, we chose to be comrades. We held each other's microphones and cameras. When equipment broke, we shared resources. We even borrowed pictures from each other to tell our viewers and readers the best story we could.
I remember feeling tired almost all the time. My shoulders ached from carrying a heavy backpack full of equipment and extra water. My feet could barely support me at times. My Russian – after four years of study – still felt broken and inadequate. But it didn't matter; I was exuberant. Like all of the space workers doing their work around us, we journalists were here to catalog a momentous event much bigger than any single person. Yes, we were at the launch of Expedition 56, but we were documenting one small step in the Russian space program – a program that will likely face a lot of change in the next couple of years.
Many of us felt we were watching the fading pages of an era. Today, it's a celebration. Today, it's another crewed spaceflight to add to a long list of successes here at Baikonur, all the way back to Yuri Gagarin in 1961. But what will happen when NASA's launch agreement with Russia ceases in 2019, and commercial crew vehicles ferry American astronauts from American soil? Who will launch inside these Soyuz rockets, and how often? The space agencies kept telling us (during press conferences) that discussions are ongoing, but we were unsatisfied with the answers. In only a year, there will be a lot of uncertainty.
This mural greets visitors as they enter the town of Baikonur, Kazakhstan.
As we watched the astronauts on launch day go from quarantine to the rocket, I reflected on some of the strange history surrounding Baikonur. Back in the era of Yuri Gagarin, it was a part of the Soviet Union, a secret location not known in the western world. This status relaxed over the years, but then Baikonur faced a major storm in 1991. During the breakup of the Soviet Union, uncertainty about Baikonur's status stranded an unlucky cosmonaut aboard Russian space station Mir for several extra months. Finally, Russia and the newly formed Kazakhstan came to an agreement where Russia will rent the facilities for about $115 million USD a year until the year 2050.
The pact is holding up things for now, but as somewhat-tourists we can't help but see that Baikonur is a one-trick pony. The souvenir shops are space-themed. Most of the work force here supports the space program in some way. The few tourists that come here, come mostly for the space launches. Without the space program, Baikonur probably wouldn't be here. After all, it was built up for the space program back in the 1950s; space is pretty much its only reason for existence.
The locals are justifiably proud of their contributions. I saw the faces of the men riding on the train carrying that Soyuz rocket; I had no idea who exactly they were, but clearly they felt it was one of the best mornings of their lives. I informally spoke with a young man who plays a key role during the launch; he played down his contribution, speaking more of the greater team behind him during those last few moments the crew is connected to Earth. And the guards, the ever-present military security, were very kind with us bumbling reporters. Using gestures and facial expressions, they kept us in the safe zones as we watched the crew go through their last few rituals before launch.
Where will all of these people be in a few years? Today these guards are holding back the crowds as the crew walks from the quarantine at the Cosmonaut Hotel, waving to the cheering crowd. They hand-inspect our equipment at the next stop, when the space-suited crew makes one last appearance before Russian space officials before launch. At the launch site, I think of the young man helping the crew during their last preparations. He's learning English to better his future, and he admitted to me he may have to move to find more work. Is he speaking for all of Baikonur? Or is he just being prudent?
A Soyuz rocket sits on its launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in September 2013.
In the moments after launch, Saint-Jacques quietly left the crowd while holding hands with his wife. A group of youngsters set off a party popper of streamers that rained down green and purple on the scorched ground. European space officials embraced each other, and I caught sight of a few older German astronauts wandering around, talking with any reporter willing to share their excitement. The Russians stopped their loudspeaker updates, and the launch tower at the pad silently folded up like a cocoon.
The 48 hours before launch happened so quickly that most of us in the press corps were still stunned, feeling washed over by the tides of history. A phrase from Blade Runner kept running through my head: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe." How do you describe the feelings watching the astronauts, recalling the history, and documenting the moments before a rocket beautifully sails up into the sky?
Standing here in Kazakhstan, some 5,000 miles from family and friends and everything familiar, I turn back to the journalistic instinct: document everything. I take pictures. Look around me. Meet up with my new press corps friends to share experiences, making sure I missed nothing. But somehow, my actions feel inadequate. Responsibility weighs on me.
There's an empty launch pad sitting a mile away. There used to be people and a white rocket on top of it, and now they're gone. I got to see them leave. Now, I have to figure out how to explain it to everyone reading these words. Because Russia's space program is about to change, and some space historian in a few years will want to know the way things used to be.
As I think about what to write, I pick up a green streamer from the ground, that just moments ago had been in flight – just like the crew. A small symbol of the local celebration. Then it comes to me; my perspective was flawed. The story of today's launch wasn't about the astronauts, but about the thousands upon thousands of residents that pulled off another flawless launch. They will ride the railroad back to Baikonur's town tonight, only to turn around in the morning and work on the next crew. And then the next one. They're the real story, but most of us will never know their names.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, but more importantly, thousands of people unknown to history are making those things happen. Will they still have a job in a few years? While they toil under the uncertainty, they make the rockets run beautifully – and on time. I'm not sure what price you can put on local joy and pride, but I do hope that it will remain no matter what Baikonur's future in the space program may be.

Cappo MC, De'ath AG and Speare PJ (2007) Inter-reef vertebrate communities of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park determined by baited remote underwater video stations. Marine Ecology Progress Series. 350: 209-221.
A fleet of baited remote underwater video stations was set in lagoonal and inter-reef waters of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, across 14 degrees of latitude and the entire shelf. Counts of the maximum number seen in any one field of view were used to estimate relative abundance of 347 species of bony fishes, cartilaginous fishes and sea snakes. Boosted regression trees were used to assess the influence of depth and location of sampling sites on species richness. Multivariate regression trees and indices of specificity and fidelity (Dufrene-Legendre indices) were used to distinguish 17 spatially contiguous vertebrate groups within a hierarchy of spatial scales. Location across the shelf and depth had the greatest influence on species richness, with peaks occurring around the similar to 35 m iso-bath in the inter-reef waters of the reef matrix, coinciding with shallow banks and shoals. Richness increased slightly toward the equator. Nine terminal vertebrate communities parallel to the coast were distinguished inshore and offshore in deep and shallow water along a latitudinal gradient. There were important community boundaries at Bowen in the south, Townsville in the centre, and Cape Flattery in the north. Latitudinal groupings were most evident inshore. Offshore communities were spatially extensive and separated lagoonal, mid-shelf and outer-shelf sites. Community boundaries were correlated with knowledge of strong gradients in sedimentary and oceanographic processes influenced by the shape of the reef matrix and regional tides and currents.


Stop in to YWCA Walla Walla during the last week of October to appreciate a bit of Latin culture. Celia Guardado, new Community Relationships and Outreach Coordinator, will bring Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, to YWCA, and the display will stay up through Nov. 1 and 2, the actual holiday.
Though it might seem most like a Latin Halloween because of the date and the skull decorations, Dia de los Muertos also resembles Memorial Day, when Americans remember their military dead, and often other loved ones as well.
Traditions vary from one region to another, but Dia de los Muertos is a time when Mexican families cherish the memory of lost children and lost ancestors. This may take the form of a fall picnic in a cemetery where they serve the favorite foods of the departed, share stories, and pray that the souls of loved ones will have an easy passage to heaven.


Open the September issue of Vogue and you'll find an in depth feature on Yahoo! CEO, Marissa Mayer. Mayer is one of only 22 female CEOs running a Fortune 500 company – a feat made all the more notable in the field of technology, where the gender gap at the top has proven particularly challenging for women. In one of the article's accompanying photographs, Mayer is seen reclining outdoors in a pose that some women felt was inappropriate for a female CEO and would never be utilized to showcase a male in a similar position.
The controversy is this: Whether she wants to be or not, Mayer is a role model for women simply by being one of the few female CEOs. And, by appearing in what many feel is a passive, sexualized pose in Vogue, she is presenting herself in a certain light to an incredible number of women (Vogue's reported total audience is 11,037,000 and 87% of their readership is female).
Obviously, Mayer has the right to do what she feels is right for her and to pose in any way she sees fit. But, from our perspective as the National Eating Disorders Association, the larger debate brings up a lot of questions about women in power, gender bias, feminism, and the responsibilities of role models.
Does this spread display a healthy level of body confidence or is it representative of the pervasive tendency to over-value a woman's physical appearance?
Does it reinforce the idea that success and beauty are inextricably linked?
Does it play into the pervasive myth that "having it all" means having the great career, the happy family and the "ideal" body?
Does seeing a CEO this way in the pages of Vogue have a different impact on women than seeing traditional fashion models?

All financial aid awards are subject to adjustment based upon the availability of funds, enrollment status, any supplemental assistance that one might receive, changes in information, and being in compliance with the Galveston College Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements for receiving Financial Aid. Awards are automatically canceled if any false representation has been made. Estimated funds that are scheduled to be disbursed are listed by type, amount, and semester.
Awards are based on the information provided on your application for aid, the FAFSA. You must promptly report, in writing, any change to that information to the Financial Aid Office.
Your expected financial need is the difference between the Cost of Attendance (COA) at Galveston College and the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The COA is determined by Galveston College and includes tuition, fees, books, supplies, room, board, transportation and miscellaneous expenses. Your EFC is determined by a government formula that is applied against your family's income and assets as reported on the FAFSA. By subtracting the EFC from the COA, estimated financial need is determined.
The following is a typical budget (1 semester at 15 credit hours) for a student attending Galveston College for the academic year.
*Estimated charges paid to school. All other budget items are living costs and are not paid to the school.
The amount listed on the Award Letter is what the family is expected to contribute financially to the student's cost of attendance (including living expenses) during the budget duration. If you are considered an independent student (parents information is not required on the FAFSA), the family contribution is only from the student's resources.
This is the total estimated aid you are scheduled to receive based on full-time enrollment.
This is your remaining financial need after subtracting the estimated financial aid.
Federal regulations require that your enrollment status and class attendance be verified prior to your receipt of aid.
Students who register, then withdraw, drop-out, expelled or receive the grade of AWN for non-attendance are subject to Federal Refund and Repayment Policy, as well as Galveston College policies found in the college catalog.
Students must be enrolled as a regular student in courses that count towards their active eligible degree or certificate program. Pre-plans are not considered eligible programs. Other courses, including prerequisites, cannot be used to determine enrollment status unless they are required remedial courses.
If awarded, you may charge tuition and fees to your Pell Grant, Direct Federal Loans, other grants and certain scholarships at the time of registration. You may also charge books and supplies during the period of time designated by the College- usually for one week before the 1st day of class through the 1st 2 weeks of classes. Students wishing to charge their books/supplies must bring a student ID and current schedule.
Any debt owed by you to Galveston College will be deducted from any financial assistance, except Federal Work Study or Texas Work Study, that you are scheduled to receive before a balance check is mailed to you.
Before any check is released, your eligibility, including enrollment status, must be verified. Work-study checks are the exception to this rule.
**Since Federal Direct loan funds are sent after the Master Promissory and Online Entrance Counseling are completed and sent electronically to Galveston College, the actual release dates may vary.
PLEASE UPDATE THE MAILING ADDRESS WITH THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE to eliminate mailing delays of your refund checks.
(A) Under Federal policy, only 30 hours of noncredit/ developmental course work can be taken into account when determining a student's enrollment status and cost of attendance for financial aid eligibility.
(B) Students who have defaulted on a federal loan or owe a refund on a federal grant may not receive official academic transcripts until they have been consulted by a Financial Aid representative on options to bring their loan(s) current.
(C) All documents submitted in support of your financial aid become the property of Galveston College and cannot be returned to you. Please make copies before you submit them.
It is against federal regulation for a student to receive federal aid at more than one institution during the same enrollment period.
Loans must be released in two or more disbursements.
No check will be released prior to the census date.
First-time borrower's loans will not be disbursed to Galveston College until 30 days after the first day of class.
According to Federal guidelines, Galveston College has 14 business days to distribute refund checks to the student from the disbursement date.
Only hours competed at Galveston College will be taken in to consideration to determine grade level loan eligibility.
The Master Promissory Note and Online Loan Entrance Counseling must be completed before funds are releases to Galveston College.
The disbursement date is the date the loan is scheduled to send the funds to Galveston College. Funds are not released until eligibility is confirmed.

This week has an end-of-term feel about it. ICVA has spent much of this week in and around Westminster and there is a noticeable demob-happy atmosphere as Parliament moves into recess. The out of office replies are flooding in from scheme managers and Whitehall is brimming with tourists taking selfies at phone boxes. It has been a busy and unpredictable few months and there is no doubt that some of our colleagues are running on fumes. Team ICVA is also exhausted. Thursday was my first day at the computer for some time (apologies to those awaiting emails) and it's also the first time that I have had some space to think about the week gone by. Sometimes the urge to blog takes over and I wanted to share what we have been up to.
I think that I have mentioned before that ICVA's staff motto (now spreading to the full board) is 'Go Hard or Go Home'. This year has been tough. ICVA has two members of staff, we do not have offices and we work on a shoestring. Our funders cut our grant from 2016/17 onwards and we have restructured and adapted – going into deficit for the year whilst we review and revise our membership offer.
My favourite Venn diagram is titled 'People I Most Like to Work With' and overlaps circles of 'dreams big', 'has fun' and 'gets things done'. Fortunately for me, Team ICVA comprises just such people. The Board of Directors embraced the opportunity to review ICVA's structure and purpose. ICVA took risks this year, questioning every part of our work. Instead of flying under the radar, we were vocal about our challenges and asked our members to engage with them. This wasn't always easy, but it has helped us to understand what our members and stakeholders need. We were brave, we dreamt big.
We had to work hard to deliver. We took on governance issues: internally, we streamlined our Board of Directors and established an expert forum to share ideas and bring all of our regions together. Externally, we invested time building relationships with our partners and developed formal reporting structures for our funders. We gathered data to demonstrate the value of our wonderful schemes and their volunteers and we made sure that custody visiting had a voice at the highest levels. It wasn't easy to make these changes. We restructured our team, which was difficult and painful. Our previous management board had to reflect on its role; some directors stepped back whilst others took on additional responsibility. Schemes rallied around and shared data, reporting and were honest about areas where they needed support.
We also had the pleasure of welcoming in new team members. Our honorary treasurer helped us adjust to the new funding environment. Our Project Officer reformed our training offer, created new resources and toured the UK training the trainer. This new blood has been refreshing, it gave us the energy we needed.
All of this reflection, effort and change culminated this week with our awayday and AGM. I haven't had time to think for the past few weeks. My diary has been packed – touring the country for various visits, writing our annual report, Board papers, sorting through accounts and trying to keep up with email. The week arrived before I'd really realised it was coming up and I found myself battling trains, picking up lunch (all hands on deck) and rushing across London to start our awayday.
The first is the calibre of Team ICVA. Sherry and I merged into an instant team when she joined the organisation, appointing ourselves 'Team ICVA' immediately. This team quickly expanded to include our Treasurer, Chair, Vice-Chair and Board members. We knew that we were onto a good thing when our Scottish director started to joke with us and shared holiday photos. A number of our Board members, some now departed, worked incredibly hard to create a team and a Board that was fit for purpose. I am hugely grateful and indebted to them. The Board got through difficult situations and we bonded. As the year has gone by, Team ICVA now encompasses the staff and volunteers on the Board, our directors and our National Expert Forum who represent our members as well as our scheme managers, friends and stakeholders.
Our revised structure enables everyone to play to their strengths. Our new, external recruits joined existing directors. We now have a communications professional who has already developed the structure of a Communications Strategy at our awayday. It was a real pleasure to see directors volunteer to take part in media training. I saw the quality of Team ICVA time and again throughout the week – when Jo took on oversight of our governance, when the National Expert Forum gave valuable feedback on our Quality Assurance Framework when our AGM came together and we secured excellent, new directors. We are all in the right place to get maximum value from our skills. I am so proud to be working with such experts and grateful to them all for volunteering their time, effort and skills.
The second, and linked theme is that we are all now working in a shared direction. ICVA has a shared vision and mission. Team ICVA and friends want custody that has effective oversight and monitoring. ICVA's mission is to lead, support and represent schemes to effectively do this. 'Lead, support and represent' is now the mantra of the Board and will be threaded through everything we do. We are getting momentum and we are producing good work. I was so happy to see everyone at the AGM and to welcome new directors – Martin, Craig and Marc. We are making a difference to custody.
Back to my Venn diagram – we are dreaming big, we are getting things done, but it is also important to have fun. Custody can be a difficult environment. We can be immersed in mental health issues or the protection of children whose lives have led them to early arrests. We are all proud of our work, but it can be heartbreaking. It's therefore important to me that ICVA is a fun and enlivening place to be – so that we can do the difficult work day in and day out and feel joy and pride in what we do.
As strange as it may sound to some, our awayday, forum meeting, AGM and Board of Directors meetings were fun. However, they weren't our last stop for the week and our Chair (Martyn Underhill) and new director (Marc Jones) had an appealing invitation for a media reception with the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC). This gave us a chance to relax and speak with PCCs and media reps.
Full disclosure here – I love networking. I know that it is a dirty word to some people, but not to me. I love talking about custody visiting. Why wouldn't I want to wax lyrical about my colleagues and thank PCCs for their work? Furthermore, why wouldn't I want to listen to their ideas and what they are doing locally? ICVA is a small organisation, we need to use our voice for our members, and we need to punch above our weight.
All of the PCCs that I spoke to were proud of our work and many had been to custody recently. It was a pleasure to see familiar faces. Gwent's Jeff Cuthbert was pleased with the last blog and had shared it with his team. Thames Valley's Anthony Stansfeld has a new Superintendent for custody (looking forward to meeting you, Katy). Alison Hernandez, PCC from Devon and Cornwall was welcoming and enthused and, of course, Martyn and Marc were flying the flag for Team ICVA. Martyn and I spent a fair amount of time talking about voluntary interviews and mental health with some of the journalists present and Danny Shaw gave me a mini masterclass in how to get the attention of the media.
I have, of course, come back from these few days with so many more ideas – new custody suites to visit, welcome packs for new scheme managers, new training ideas, I would like a policing APPG on custody, a new website, communications lines, media training etc. My ambitions run away from me, but that's ok. We need a business plan for 2018/19 and what better time to start working on that?
Back to the end of school feeling. I am writing this whilst my children get dressed for an end of term party, I will publish it once they are in bed. We have waved a sad farewell to my daughter's teacher and my Twitter timeline is filled with parliamentary workers tweeting happy gifs. I am joining them, starting a week off to decompress and replenish my energy. I will be back ready and raring to go to deliver briefings and consult on our Code of Practice the following week. Enjoy the week ahead, everyone.


Rather than honor Christianity's holiest day, Easter, today, Google chose to salute a secular-progressive saint, migrant worker activist Cesar Chavez on the 80th anniversary of his birth with a main page graphic it calls doodles.
Ironically, Chavez was a devout Catholic.
But oh do the libs love Chavez. For instance, San Francisco changed the name of Army Street to Cesar Chavez Street.
Google's headquarters are in Mountain View, California--forty miles from San Francisco.
These are people not like us, my friends.
One of Ronald Reagan's greatest speeches--and he had many--was his April 2, 1983 Easter and Passover message, which was one of his weekly radio addresses during his magnificent presidency.
I posted this video two years ago---it deserves many viewings. The Cold War was particularly intense in 1983, as we are reminded when Reagan notes the desire for freedom in Poland and East Germany.
As we look around us today, we still find human pain and suffering, but we also see it answered with individual courage and spirit, strengthened by faith. For example, the brave Polish people, despite the oppression of a godless tyranny, still cling to their faith and their belief in freedom. Shortly after Palm Sunday Mass this week, Lech Walesa faced a cheering crowd of workers outside a Gdansk church. He held his hand up in a sign of victory and predicted, "The time will come when we will win."
Recently, an East German professor, his wife, and two daughters climbed into a 7-foot rowboat and crossed the freezing, wind-whipped Baltic to escape from tyranny. Arriving in West Germany after a harrowing 7-hour, 31-mile journey past East German border patrols, the man said he and his family had risked everything so that the children would have the chance to grow up in freedom.
He concludes with reflections on faith.
Nearly 2,000 years after the coming of the Prince of Peace, such simple wishes may still seem far from fulfillment. But we can achieve them. We must never stop trying. The generation of Americans now growing up in schools across our country can make sure the United States will remain a force for good, the champion of peace and freedom, as their parents and grandparents before them have done. If we live our lives and dedicate our country to truth, to love, and to God, we will be a part of something much stronger and much more enduring than any negative power here on Earth. That's why this weekend is a celebration and why there is hope for us all. Thanks for listening, and God bless you.
Friends of Reagan's Chicago Home blog: Obama library story "utterly inaccurate"
UNO's CEO, Juan Rangel, was a co-chair of Rahm Emanuel's mayoral campaign. This is how Chicago doesn't work.
Gov. Pat Quinn's executive inspector general has opened an investigation into the politically influential United Neighborhood Organization's use of a $98 million state grant for new charter schools, after a report in the Chicago Sun-Times that UNO gave millions of dollars in contracts for the schools to companies with ties to the organization's top officials.
Executive Inspector General Ricardo Meza's office asked the state Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity in a letter Feb. 14 to turn over all records regarding the grant, state officials disclosed Friday.
Meza's office has opened "an official investigation" into the UNO grant, according to a copy of the one-page letter that the Quinn administration released Friday.
The inspector general asked to get copies of UNO's state grant contracts and "any and all corresponding documentation," including anything involving subcontractors, by Feb. 28.
A couple of days ago a White House spokesperson couldn't answer a question about why ObamaCare is raising insurance premiums. Obama's own Health and Human Services Secretary said the boondoggle is the culprit.
Yesterday it was official. The Great Lakes State became a right-to-work state.
Today – March 28, 2013 – marks a new day for labor freedom in Michigan as landmark legislation making Michigan a right to work state goes into effect.
Starting today, workers will have a choice in union membership and labor unions will have to do what every other voluntary organization has to do: Earn their membership by service and not outdated work rules that force membership. Because the legislation was passed last year without immediate effect, it becomes law today on the 91st day after the 2012 Legislature adjourned. The final vote came after a day of demonstrations and violence by labor unions and activists opposed to ending decades of coercive, compulsory union membership in Michigan.
There are exemptions – and the law will not apply to all workers. Firefighters, local and state law enforcement officers, those represented by federal unions, employees protected under federal laws (such as the Railway Labor Act) and some other transportation workers, agricultural workers and domestic workers are not covered by the law. Right to work will not immediately apply to businesses that have existing collective bargaining agreements. Therefore, if a current labor agreement extends beyond the effective date of the law (March 28, 2013), membership – and payment of union dues – will remain mandatory until that labor agreement expires.
The reaction to right to work by Big Labor and state bureaucrats wedded to the old monopoly system reveals their true motives in dealing with their "members." The Civil Service Commission claims that state employees are not covered by the law. Labor unions, primarily in the public sector, have been trying to renegotiate contracts as far out as possible before the law's effective date in order to deny their members choice for years. Labor unions and supporters of the old, forced membership system can be expected to turn to the courts in an effort to avoid the law.
It figures that Chicago even scandalizes red-light cameras. But that's not a big problem for Rahm.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday he believes his administration does not need to halt implementation of a speed camera program in light of a federal bribery investigation centering on a former city employee who went on to work for an organization that lobbied for speed cameras in Illinois.
Federal authorities are probing the personal finances of John Bills, the former managing deputy commissioner of transportation, following an internal investigation by city red-light camera vendor Redflex Traffic Systems Inc. that found evidence that its Chicago program was likely built on a $2 million bribery scheme involving Bills and a longtime friend hired as the company's Chicago consultant.
After leaving his city job in 2011, Bills was hired by Emanuel political consultant Greg Goldner, working for the Redflex-funded Traffic Safety Coalition.
I predicted that yesterday's Chicago Teachers Union protest march--with many SEIU members in attendance, by the way--would ruin the downtown afternoon rush hour. What I didn't expect was the in-your-face sit-on-the-street action that led to over 120 arrests.
What if an ambulance needed to pass through?
When I was in school many years ago I was taught that getting arrested was a bad thing.
Chicago's population is declining--to the Board of Education is closing dozens of schools. That means teachers will be laid off--which is the real reason the teachers and their public-sector union allies are protesting.
Among those arrested was SEIU Local 1 President Tom Balanoff, who was a go-between in the tawdry negotiations between now-imprisoned Gov. Rod Blagojevich and the Barack Obama camp over who would replace Obama when he resigned his Senate seat in 2008.


Abstract This paper aims to develop a more robust measure of independency called mean mutual information ratio and propose a new way for ranking components with this measure. In order to evaluate the advantage of mean mutual information ratio, independent component analysis has been performed on task-related and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data. And then, mean mutual information ratio was compared to kurtosis in ranking components. The result demonstrated that mean mutual information ratio gives more accurate and robust measure of independency.

What makes a senior developer or senior engineer
Over the festive break I sent out this tweet.
I would fire the "senior" engineers for being over levelled. Senior engineers jobs are to mentor and build up the engineers below them. If they find that a burden then they need to re-evaluate their seniority. https://t.co/f0G5TtumRE
— David Burns (@AutomatedTester) December 22, 2017
The, now deleted, quoted tweet went along the lines of "If you have 3 senior engineers earning $150k and a junior developer breaks the repository is it worth the $60k for having a junior". The original tweet, and then similar tweets that came out after that shows that there seems to be a disconnect on what some engineers, and even managers, believe a senior engineer should act like and what it really takes to be a senior or higher engineer.
The following is my belief, and luckily for me its also the guide I am given by my employer, is that seniority of an engineer is more to do with their interpersonal skills and less to do with their programming ability. So what do I mean by this? The answer is really simple.
A senior developer or senior engineer should be able to build up and mentor engineers who are "below" them. A senior engineer should be working to make the rest of their team senior engineers. This might actually mean that a senior engineer might do less programming than the more junior members in a team. This is normally accounted for by engineering management and even by project management. The time when they are not programming is now filled with architectural discussions, code reviews and general mentoring of newer members. These tasks might not be as tangible as producing code but it is just as important.
Whether you are on an management track or individual contributor track, the further you go up the more it is dependent on you doing less coding and more making sure that you raise everyone up with you. This is just how it all goes. After all "A raising tide raises all ships".
Harassment of Open Source Maintainers or Contributors
On Friday I had the unfortunate pleasure of taking the brunt on an unhappy Selenium user. Their issue? My team said that a release of GeckoDriver would happen when we are confident in the code. They said that was not professional. They started by telling me that they contribute to Mozilla and this is not acceptable for them as a customer.
Below is a break down of why I took exception to this:
My team was being extremely professional. Software, by its very nature, has bugs but we try minimize the amount of bugs we ship. To do this we don't set release dates, we set certain objectives. My team is relatively small compared to the user group it needs to service so we need to triage bugs, fix code. We have both groups inside and outside of Mozilla. By saying we can only release when it is ready is going to be the best we can do.
Please don't ever tell open source maintainers you are their customer unless you are paying for support and you have a contract with SLAs. So that there is no issue with definition of customer I suggest you look at Merriam Webster's definition. It says "one that purchases a commodity or service". Mozilla, just like Google, Microsoft, and Apple, are working on WebDriver to help web developers. There is no monetary benefit from doing this. The same goes for the Selenium project. The work and products are given freely.
And finally, and this goes for any F/OSS project even if it comes from large corporations like Google or Facebook, never make demands. Ask how you can help instead. If you disagree with the direction of the project, fork it. Make your own project. They have given everything away for free. Take it, make it better for whatever better means for you.
Now, even after explaining this, the harassment continued. It has lead to that user being blocked on social media for me and my team as well as them being blocked on Github. I really dislike blocking people because I know when they approach us they are frustrated but taking that frustration out on my team doesn't help anyone. If you continue, after being warned, you will be blocked. This is not a threat, this a promise.
Next time you feel frustrated with open source ask the maintainers if you can donate time/money/resources to make their lives easier. Don't be the moron that people will instantly block.
Honest and open conversations
Can you have an open and honest conversation with your peers and, this is the most important one, can you have an open and honest conversation with your manager?
Have a good think about this, don't answer straight away. Let's go through the following scenarios to find out if you can have open and honest conversations.
Tell your manager when you are struggling with a task and not feel like you are going to chastised?
For me, as a manager and a technical lead, it is super important to help grow people. We all have times where we don't know something and no amount of searching the internet can fix it. Being able to go to your "lead" and say, "I don't know what to do.." is a good thing for everyone!
Tell your manager when you are being harassed?
This should be a given but if you were to ask a lot of your female colleagues, you will hear a resounding "NO!". This has to do with company culture or "not upsetting the 10x'er". Even though it can cost a lost of money for a company if there is harassment, a lot of people just don't trust their manager to tell them about problems like this.
Tell your manager that they are wrong
Feedback is hard to give and to accept. Especially in some cultures where it is seen as a weird thing. European culture is like that, you give a slight nod and that is it and anything more makes people uncomfortable.
Now imagine getting critical feedback, it can be hard.
Now... imagine telling your manager that you think they are wrong and giving them feedback. This could be at a technical level or it could be at how they are as a manager. Expressing that feedback can be hard. Now... how does your manager take it. Do they get all defensive, do you get defensive.
If you answered No to any of the above, you really need to take the initiative and speak to your manager and tell them that you don't feel there is good opportunity for dialogue and you want to fix this. If they don't want to meet you half way to solve this then you don't need to feel bad that you want a new manager. This could be in a new company or within your company.
Honest and open conversations between your peers and your managers will create an amazing work environment and will allow everyone to succeed. It all starts from trust.
WebDriver F2F - July 2016
Last week saw the latest WebDriver F2F to work on the specification. We held the meeting at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington.
The agenda for the meeting was placed, as usual, on the W3 Wiki. We had quite a lot to discuss and, as always, was a very productive meeting.
The meeting notes are available for Wednesday and Thursday. The most notable items are;
Finalising Actions in the specification
newSession
Certificate handling on navigation
Specification tests
We also welcomed Apple to their first WG meeting. You may have missed it, but there is going to be a Safari Driver built in in macOS.
The final major player is set to ship WebDriver
It was nearly a year ago that Microsoft shipped their first implementation of WebDriver. I remember being so excited as I wrote a blog post about it.
This week, Apple have said that they are going to be shipping a version of WebDriver that will allow people to drive Safari 10 in macOS. In the release notes they have created safari driver that will be shipping with the OS.
In addition to new Web Inspector features in Safari 10, we are also bringing native WebDriver support to macOS. https://t.co/PfwmkRIBIV
— WebKit (@webkit) June 15, 2016
If you have ever wondered why this is important? Have a read of my last blog post. In Firefox 47 Selenium caused Firefox to crash on startup. The Mozilla implementation of WebDriver, called Marionette and GeckoDriver, would never have hit this problem because test failures and crashes like this would lead to patches being reverted and never shipped to end users.
Many congratulations to the Apple team for making this happen!

What does the instability mean?
With the markets facing pressure, the Nifty may fall to sub-4,800 levels, offering a negative outlook for the short and the long term.
Hemen Kapadia Print Edition: July, 2010
It was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. The NSE Nifty fell by over 11 per cent in eight weeks and recovered swiftly by 8 per cent within nine trading sessions. Choppy and volatile trading seems to be the order of the day, even as overseas cues continue to cast a shadow on the equity market. With the dollar strengthening, the euro weakening, gold on the rampage and crude oil weak, the situation is unlikely to change soon. It doesn't help that the European financial crisis has weighed down the markets across the world.
A further tumble for the Nifty seems imminent. The short-term picture is negative as the fledgling recovery may have run out of steam, but with the Nifty closing above the resistance level of 5,210 on 17 June, there may be a case for reviewing the situation. Everything seemed to be in order as long as the correction was normal, but the disdain with which the Nifty is treating important support levels indicates that it has acquired an ominous undertone. For the first time in nearly a year, the long-term outlook also seems to be negative.
The daily MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) gave a crossover buy signal on 27 May after a crossover sell signal on 7 April, but this could be shortlived as the Nifty is in no mood to sustain at higher levels. A change in trend seems improbable. Even as the weekly lower top, lower bottom scenario continues, the daily picture too seems set to mimic it.
The anticipated unsustainable corrective bounce fizzled out at 5,148, slightly below its expected level of 5,188. The Nifty remains above its support levels of 4,950, 4,920, 4,875, 4,835, 4,750 and 4,659, while resistance comes in at 5,005, 5,050, 5,080, 5,155, 5,224, 5,274, 5,303, 5,330, 5,410 and 5,455.
If one considers a retracement of 50 per cent of the fall from the intra-day high of 5,399.65 on 7 April to a low of 4,786.45 on 25 May, then the index will come to the 5,094 level. On the other hand, a 62 per cent retracement will mean a level of 5,166, even as the Nifty peaked at 5,148. A breach of the 4,920 level could also test its recent bottom level of 4,786, implying a 4,659 level on the downside.
An analysis of the various sectors indicates that the BSE Bankex's outperformance has probably ended. Following the weakness in the market, Bank of Baroda and Canara Bank could just about hold on, while ICICI Bank and IndusInd Bank seem prime candidates to go short on or book profits.
Though the BSE Consumer Durables Index has outperformed significantly, it is expected to end as the index has breached a demand line on the downside. The breach indicates the possibility of a sharper and deeper downside. The outstanding exit/short-selling opportunities are offered by Rajesh Exports, Whirlpool, Bajaj Electricals and Videocon Industries, while Gitanjali Gems could be an outperformer.
The BSE FMCG Index has shown tremendous outperformance to post an all-time high in an extremely uncertain market. This indicates a strong defensive theme in times of turmoil. The outstanding investment opportunities include ITC, Dabur and Colgate-Palmolive, while McLeod Russell is a clear weak spot. In the event of normal monsoons, companies with agriculture-based inputs will prove to be a good bets. The moderation in prices of milk, sugar, wheat and rice will benefit firms such as Britannia, Nestle, Dabur and GSK Consumer. The earnings of the firms in the FMCG space can accelerate significantly from the second half of financial year 2010-11 as the benefits of lower input costs and inflation, and higher income, kick in.
The bottom line? If the current situation continues, the NSE Nifty is likely to fall to the sub-4,800 levels.
How will the market fare?
A look at four factors affecting the Indian market, as per the recent Morgan Stanley research report, India Summit 2010.
1.Low inflationary pressure will be good for equities
The equity market is clearly saying that, right now, growth matters. A sudden spike in crude oil prices could be damaging, though a steady rise, accompanied by capital inflow, is not bad for equities. We expect the rupee to appreciate. This would offset some inflationary pressure and ease the burden on the monetary policy.
2.Valuations are rich
Equity valuations look middling at 18x trailing earnings. At a 30 per cent premium to emerging markets, this is lower than the average at which Indian equities have traded in the past six years. The broad market fares better with the mid-cap index at the low end of its valuation multiple range relative to the large-cap index.
3.Earning expectations are high
The acceleration in industrial growth will help revenue growth exceed the midteens in the coming quarters, while the gap in food consumer and producer price inflation will push corporate margins to new highs in 2011. Bottom-up companies are benefiting from greater pricing power and higher operating leverage. Corporates have considerable cash on the balance sheets. The key downside risk to earnings is that a weak global risk appetite may dampen the capital flow in India, adversely affecting the growth.
4.External deficit makes India vulnerable to global events
The external deficit—trade deficit is at over 10 per cent of GDP—seems high as the investment cycle is yet to start in earnest. The problem is how to fund this trade deficit. A large part of India's external deficit is funded by flows from financial markets, though the dependence has fallen at the margin. If global markets continue to wobble, India's growth will be affected. Indian equities correlate strongly with the global ones, though the absolute correlation has fallen from the highs of 2007-9.

In a seven-game NBA series, hot shooting or some other unforeseen anomaly has far less impact than in a single-elimination tournament. That's largely why we've only seen four No. 7 or No. 8 seeds advance since the league went to a seven-game first-round format in 2003.
The search for an NBA Cinderella has to start with the possibility of a first-round upset. That's the threshold requirement for such a team. There's also got to be an underdog element that extends beyond the seeding disadvantage. Any true Cinderella has to overcome a serious talent discrepancy, creating the storybook feel we associate with success against long odds.
We're supposed to doubt them…until they stun us into belief.
A defense that ranked first in mid-January is tied for 14th since then, and OKC's offense has been suspect all year. With field-goal accuracy rates that rank 19th at the rim, 30th from mid-range and 23rd from deep, the Thunder enter the postseason as one of the most vulnerable teams in the league.
They're slated to draw the untested Denver Nuggets in the first round. And that, folks, raises the possibility of an upset.
Please appreciate how ridiculous that statement should look in light of OKC's 0-4 record against the Nuggets this year. Those four losses came by an average of nine points per game, and both Paul George and Russell Westbrook played in every meeting. There's no mistaking the Nuggets' regular-season ownership of the Thunder.
Yet Oklahoma City, flawed as it is, has the postseason experience advantage over Denver—which isn't hard, considering the Nuggets' young core of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Gary Harris have none whatsoever.
That's where the Cinderella possibility emerges. The Thunder, overmatched by every metric you'd care to consult, have star players with heaps of Finals and conference finals reps. Westbrook and George have faced LeBron James in his prime on the biggest stages, and though they always fell short, they didn't back down.
Meanwhile, these Nuggets—whose offense has cratered worse than OKC's defense since the break, and whose stopping power will be shaky as long as Jokic is there to attack in the pick-and-roll—couldn't get past the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves to gain playoff entry a season ago.
Based on talent, full-season performance and every qualitative measurement, the Thunder shouldn't have a chance to beat Denver. But do you really want to bet against a dialed-in duo of Westbrook and George? Perhaps more importantly, do you want to bet on a Nuggets squad that hasn't proved squat?
You can't top the Los Angeles Clippers' Cinderella profile.
They dealt Tobias Harris for future assets at the deadline, leaving a roster composed of veteran afterthoughts, inexperienced youth, a defense-averse bench-scoring dynamo and a whole bunch of non-star role-fillers.
The Clippers scrap, though. Patrick Beverley and Montrezl Harrell are as feisty as players come, Lou Williams knows every bucket-getting trick in every bucket-getting book (because he pretty much wrote them), and the kids—led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ivica Zubac—look ready.
There are no stars here, and with the Clippers' lofty free-agency goals (hi there, Kawhi!), there's an impermanence to this roster that should be pulling it apart.
Despite so many short-timers, though, the Clips are oddly connected. Maybe head coach Doc Rivers is that good at unifying different personalities who, understandably, might have different agendas in a stopgap season. Or maybe the likelihood that the current roster won't be together for long has galvanized it.
Either way, the Clippers will head into the postseason as plucky underdogs against the Houston Rockets, their most likely first-round opponent.
Let's say James Harden wears down as he has in the past. Let's also say the vastly different personnel the Clips fielded in their two October wins over Houston matters less than whatever Rivers figured out about wrangling Harden.
An upset is, of course, unlikely. The Rockets are a beast. But if the Clips were to advance, they'd have a chance to extend their run against either the Thunder or Nuggets in the second round (assuming current seeding holds). Either of those opponents would seem more beatable than Houston.
The Clips in the conference finals? There's a Cinderella run for you.
Brooklyn is the longest long shot on this (short) list. High-volume three-point shooting and flexible late-game alignment options give it a puncher's chance against the East's top teams—but only if the seeding shakes out a certain way.
The Nets have a harrowing stretch-run schedule that features nothing but potential playoff teams. That hurts Brooklyn's chances of climbing to the sixth seed, which is a spot it will need to maximize its Cinderella potential.
In theory, the 3-6 matchup is the one Brooklyn should want in the first round, pitting it against a Philadelphia 76ers team it has beaten twice this season. Granted, those victories came in the first six weeks of the year, before Philadelphia added Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris. But Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons played in both contests, so we know Brooklyn can succeed against a couple of Philly's principal weapons.
If the Sixers have a weakness, it's on-ball defense at the guard spots. The Nets are well equipped to exploit that frailty.
A prospective matchup against D'Angelo Russell, Spencer Dinwiddie and the Nets should concern the Sixers.
Russell is exactly the kind of pull-up threat and pick-and-roll maestro that gives Philly fits, and Dinwiddie is effectively the changeup to Russell's fastball; he can punish big men who switch with pull-ups of his own and quick-twitch drives into the lane.
Add in the Nets' fifth-ranked three-point attempt rate, which introduces a high-variance element to the series, and you can see the faint outlines of an upset: The Sixers can't keep Brooklyn's guards from getting where they want, and the Nets heat up from deep.
In our current seeding hypothetical, Brooklyn would likely draw the Toronto Raptors if it were to advance past the Sixers. It's harder to imagine the Nets doing much in that series, but they did beat Toronto in overtime Dec. 7, and the zone defense they broke out in Wednesday's loss helped produce a 41.9 percent shooting night for the Raps.
Maybe the Nets could avoid a sweep in the second round, which would count as quite an achievement for a team still in the relatively early stages of a rebuild.
Behold: the Eastern Conference version of the Clippers. Now with extra defense!
The Indiana Pacers lost their leading scorer, Victor Oladipo, to a season-ending knee injury in late January and have relied on defense, depth and an all-hands-on-deck mentality to somehow head into the final week of the regular season locked into a 4-5 first-round matchup with the Boston Celtics.
When your most consistent offensive weapon is a small forward who turns 30 on April 18 and whose previous career-high scoring average was 14.3 points per game, you're an underdog. When that player, Bojan Bogdanovic, leads you into a series against a talent-laden team picked by many to lead the league in wins and reach the Finals, you're at an even greater theoretical disadvantage.
But if you've paid attention at all this year, you're aware Boston has been as disappointing as Indiana has been surprisingly resilient. The Celtics have endured stretches of conspicuous dysfunction all season. We've seen postgame sniping, wildly fluctuating levels of engagement from Kyrie Irving and no shortage of losing streaks.
Boston has five skids of three games or more this year, while Indiana has just three. If things go downhill for the Celtics early in the first round, we've got evidence that suggests they're more prone to letting their difficulties snowball.
Meanwhile, the Pacers are basically playing with house money. They're not supposed to be any good without Oladipo, their All-NBA stud. If the weight of pressure matters at all, every ounce of it is resting on Boston.
And that's before considering the potential that Irving's lack of long-term commitment further strains an already taut situation.
The winner of this series will get the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round, which will probably be the end of either team. But Indiana has a real shot to bounce Boston before that.

Measuring Uncertainty with Hypothetical Distance in Written Language
According to the Construal-Level Theory of psychological distance (Trope and Liberman 2010), hypothetical distance refers to the likelihood of an event and having access to or possessing an object. Hypothetical distance is a customer-centric measurement. The reference point is a customer's current situation and the previous experiences associated with it. Hypothetical distance is said to be close for likely and certain events and distant for unlikely and uncertain events.
Customers' uncertainty evaluations can be measured with a hypothetical distance in language. The prediction is that for events the customer deems likely, s/he will use concrete and detailed words in the written message. For events deemed unlikely, s/he will use abstract and vague words. Hence, if the writer thinks it is likely that COVID-19 will impact his or her life, concrete words are likely to be used. Otherwise, abstract words are likely to be used.
Hypothetical distance measures uncertainty. It is one of the four distance dimensions, e.g. temporal, social, and spatial, of psychological distance and extends to events, e.g. COVID-19, and objects, e.g. brands. Extant research shows that psychological distance influences preferences and decision-making.

Testing, refining and streamlining the AHA Centre's disaster coordination mechanisms is integral to ensuring ease of implementation in disaster responses. This year's International Search and Rescue Advisory Group's (INSARAG) exercise, held in Clark Free Port from the 26th to the 29th of July allowed the AHA Centre to further optimise coordination processes and ensure they are streamlined with local and international processes alike, creating an efficient and united environment when responding to disasters in the region.
At this year's exercise, the AHA Centre was represented by a number of staff, alongside 7 ASEAN-ERAT team members. Alongside engaging in all activities throughout the exercise, the AHA Centre also worked with UN-OCHA Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (UN-OCHA ROAP) to deliver a first-day training session on the inter-operability of ASEAN-ERAT and United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC), based on specific insight gained through the recent National Contingency Planning for a Metro Manila 7.2M Earthquake scenario. In the days following, further work and clarity was developed between the various parties, including roles and responsibilities of joint operations between ASEAN-ERAT and UNDAC, Reception Departure Centre (RDC) development and coordination mechanisms, as well as liaison roles for external parties present within the Joint Operations and Coordinaton Centre of ASEAN (JOCCA). A total of 220 individuals from 27 countries, alongside 286 local parties participated in the exercise.
Many positives were highlighted from the 2018 INSARAG exercise, particularly related to the fact that the exercise was based on the National Contingency Planning scenario recently developed with the Philippines. Due to the recent implementation of a Philippine International Humanitarian Assistance Guideline (PIHAG), as a basis for offers/requests for international assistance by the Government of the Philippines, all stakeholders were able to test and familiarise themselves with the implementation and operation of this new guideline. The 2018 INSARAG training served to continue momentum under which regional and international actors are harmonising systems and mechanisms that will avoid duplication and increase understanding for all stakeholders related to national response plans of ASEAN nations.
