Leslie Smith is the newest addition to the Bellator featherweight division.
MMA Fighting confirmed the news following a report by Yahoo.
Smith (10-7-1), a former Invicta FC title contender as a flyweight, fought for the last time in July 2017, stopping Amanda Lemos with elbows at UFC Glasgow. It was her second straight victory at bantamweight after losing to Cris Cyborg in a 140-pound catchweight in 2016.
Bellator has yet to announce a date and opponent for Smith's return to the cage.
The leader of fighter unionization effort Project Spearhead, Smith was let go by the UFC after Aspen Ladd missed weight by 1.8 pounds for their planned bout in April 2018.
Smith, who was on the last fight of her contract with the company, said at the time that she proposed to sign a new deal with the promotion in order to take the fight. According to the fighter, the UFC decided to pay her the show money and win bonus and part ways.
The 36-year-old veteran competed once under the Bellator banner, losing a decision to Kerry Vera at Bellator 7 in 2009. Smith was 1-0 as a professional fighter at the time.


This is what Reece achieved.
Another great journey from a wonderful client. Reece Carter's amazing transformation while working with CBPT shows how far he has come.
Reece's recent photo shoot at Frontier gives me a perfect opportunity to show his incredible progress while we've been working together, Reece has come a very long way and his conditioning here is awesome! Reece was always relatively lean but needed to gain muscle. As you can see here he has put on substantial muscle and achieved an incredible physique. I'm incredibly impressed with his progress. Well done Reece and keep up the good work!
Thank you to Bailey Image Photography.

'Higher value houses leading property recovery'
11:59am Aug 11, 2019
Capital city home auction clearance rates continue to climb nationally, with strong results in Sydney and Melbourne leading a property market recovery.
Figures released by data provider CoreLogic show an average 70.4 per cent of the 1,107 auctions held across Australia during the week ended Sunday August 11 had cleared, well up on 66.4 per cent of 1,107 auctions held the week before.
CoreLogic auction market commentator Kevin Brogan confirmed the latest improvement was mostly attributed to the country's two largest cities by population, where clearances rates of more than 70 per cent have been recorded in recent weeks.
Sydney had a clearance rate of 81.2 per cent
"We've got a really strong result out of Sydney this week, above 80 per cent - that a kick up," Mr Brogan told AAP on Sunday.
There were 365 auctions in Sydney, with a clearance rate of 81.2 per cent, led by strong sales in the apartment market although houses were far behind.
The overall result was up from the previous week, when 386 auctions yielded a clearance rate of 72 per cent.
It's also significantly higher than the same week in 2018 when there were 458 auctions with a much lower clearance rate of 53.8 per cent.

Mr Brogan said North Sydney and Hornsby led the way in the harbour city, with a clearance rate of 90 per cent from 42 auctions.
"We've got some very high performing regions and they're typically higher value houses, which (previously) led the market softening but are now leading the recovery," he said.
Melbourne was relatively steadier with a clearance rate of 73.2 per cent from 501 auctions for the week ended August 11, up a bit from last week's 70.9 per cent.
But it's still a very a solid increase from last year, when the clearance rate was 58 per cent from 721 auctions.
Southeast Melbourne had the highest clearance rate, with 87.2 per cent from 52 auctions.

Mr Brogan says the consistently higher clearance rates imply the housing market is responding to lower mortgage rates, following two central bank monetary policy easings.
"What we've been seeing since the federal election is increased confidence in the buyer side of the auction market," he said.
"We're hanging out for spring because that's when some more supply will come on and the resilience of the confidence will be tested."
But things still look tougher for the auction markets in Brisbane and Perth where clearance rates remain subdued and below 40 per cent.
All the data for the week ending August 11 is preliminary.
Clearance rates by capital city for the week:
Sydney ... 81.2pct
Melbourne ... 73.2pct
Brisbane ... 39.6pct
Adelaide ... 58.5pct
Perth ... 23.5pct
Tasmania ... n.a.
Canberra ... 63.8pct

Living With Triumph Street Twin | Gassit Garage | Long Term
03 June 2019 / Text Size (-) (+) / Print
There are no marks on the Street Twin (just one on the rider)
I have a bruise on my left big toe. I know; 'hero' is an overused word, but I am selflessly pressing on, and thank you for your understanding at this difficult time.
It turns out that riding Triumph's Street Twin in street boots rather than riding boots can lead to such orthopaedic setbacks. But four days trudging around Albert Park during Grand Prix week dictated that 'walking comfort' rather than 'riding comfort' was a priority. It was either that, or commuting from home with more spare footwear than your average Kardashian (who usually do not have size 12 feet).
But that is about as bad as it got. My month with the Streety came to an end with nothing worse than a bruised digit. The gearshift is new/stiff and takes a bit of effort, but nearly everything else about the black beast I liked.
Like, the speedometer. The single gauge reads to 200km/h. That suits me fine. My car's speedo goes to 240km/h, which may be achievable if I drove it out of the rear of a C130 Hercules at altitude. The realism of a 200km/h bike having an appropriate clock fits just fine.
The risers on the handlebars are about right. There are plenty of Triumph logos on board, but they are never intrusive. The mirrors work, but are in that middle zone of looking cool enough if you want to keep them, but no so cool you do not want to thumb through the parts catalogue for something more individual.
I am informed that more than half of Triumph owners buy genuine accessories for their rides, and I can see why. The Street Twin is a good starting place to personalise and make the bike your own but, at the same time, it looks just fine if you are satisfied with what came in the box.
Ditto for the exhaust. Messrs Vance & Hines can provide a set of mufflers that will make sure your neighbours know you have a new ride, but the standard exhaust provides enough music to keep you happy, particularly if your commute involves a tunnel. And if it doesn't, you may be tempted to make a detour.
The upgrades over the previous model have been well-detailed in full road tests, suffice to say that more revs, more power and torque, and better… most things make the bike a forward step over the previous model, for not a significantly bigger outlay.
I also admire what the Street Twin doesn't have. Adjustable suspension is all well and fine, and heaven knows there are some cool aftermarket options out there, but the standard stuff suited me. The same for the brakes, though I can see why the much faster Speed Twin comes with more stopping power. Almost everything I own now comes with Bluetooth but it was not missed on this bike.
Look; it would be wrong, and somewhat dismissive, to describe the Street Twin as a grown-up LAMS bike. At 900cc, it clearly is not. What it is, is so dead simple to ride that it would make an ideal bike on which to return to the streets on two wheels. It's not going to pull your arms off.
If, as I detailed in the first column in AMCN 68-17, you have spent a decade or two on four wheels rather than two while you dealt with so-called real life – but at the same time kept your bike licence – this is a good ride on which to return to action. Get up to date with some rider training first, and feel free to set the riding mode to 'Rain' if you want, and get ready for some stress-free fun.
Some may refer to the modern bikes from the marques as 'Thai-umphs'. Not me; the Britishness of the Street Twin shone through. I'll miss it.
And now, I'm off for a pork pie and a pint. A bruised toe never slowed down Churchill, did it?
Phil Branagan


It was our first Christmas in Mole St Nicolas…..
The kids spent the afternoon making cookies for Santa! We also made a cake and celebrated Taylen's birthday. After we were finished baking it was time to get dressed for the Christmas service. I have already shared on the Mole Blog about our Christmas Eve Service. I loved seeing my little ones serve the community with so much love. After the service, all my kids gathered together on our footsteps.
The children were nervous that Santa wouldn't know how to find their new house. So my dad sent in special reindeer food so Santa would know right where to go! Here is a video of the kids sprinkling out the reindeer food.
The kids knew they had to go to bed for Santa to come! Santa came around 1am. All the girls woke up easily – including Izzy. It took a few shakes to wake-up the boys. They were pretty tired even as they opened the gifts. Below are a few pictures! We hope and pray everyone was as blessed this Christmas as we were.

The assistance offered through USAID, US Peace Corp and the House DemocracyPartnership Programme are some the initiatives we are working together with.Recently, the US Government approved the ForeignMilitary Financing as well asthe Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact Programme for Sri Lanka, whichWas put on hold, but we are looking forward to a new team coming to Sri Lanka next month and I'm hoping that the board meeting to be held in March will decideto give us that elusive compact again Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera Said yesterday.
Addressing the Opening ceremony of the American Corner in Matara the Minister further said that united States remain a steadfast and a strong friend in our efforts to achieve sustainable development and peace and security in Sri Lanka.Remarks made by the Minister of Finance at the Opening is as follows:Let me, first of all, warmly welcome Ambassador Alaina Teplitz to the city of Matara, presumably her first official visit to the South. Today is yet again a special day for Matara. By opening an American Corner in this city, we are now offered to be directly connected to the United States, where there are ample opportunities for business, education, cultural and other prospects.
In fact, two weeks back, I attended the opening of the Regional Consular Office in Matara under the Foreign Ministry that provides consular services to the public in this area. Now by having an American Corner here, this city is becoming an important centre of international activities in the Southern region.
Specially at a time when we endeavour to regain Sri Lanka's historic role as a major trade, maritime, and shipping hub in the Indian Ocean, it is important to improve connectivity to the outside world. Matara had been since ancient times, known for its entrepreneur spirit and the old Dutch Fort here remains evident to a very active commercial centre in the Southern coastal belt. During the Dutch period, this area had been known for its cinnamon and coconut products. Even now, we export the world's best cinnamon from here and I am sure there is a huge potential for such products to the United States.
The United States, being the largest export market for Sri Lanka, accounting over 25% of our total exports, the opening of an American Corner in Matara offers greater opportunities. As for the manufacturers and producers in the South, you have to seize this momentum with the support of the Matara Chamber of Commerce and Industry to expand trade, investments and exports to one of the best and largest markets in the world.
My Ministry has launched a few major support programmes for investments and small businesses to drive economic growth. As you know, Enterprise Sri Lanka offers over 20 subsidized credit schemes for entrepreneurship of up to Rs. 750 million for entrepreneurs as well as loans for women which are further subsidized in order to get them into the mainstream of business activity. Already over Rs. 70,000 million in new credit, just in the last six months, has been offered to SME's, agriculture and service sectors. I hope our business community here in Matara are capable of utilizing these new opportunities to support the national economy.
Also, our Rapid Rural Development Programme "Gamperaliya" is being implemented throughout the country now. In Matara District alone, Rs. 2,100 million has been disbursed for small scale infrastructure development projects under Gamperaliya. We expect to revitalize our rural economy through Gamperaliya by improving the conditions of rural roads, irrigation, markets and community empowerment.
I must say the United States remain a steadfast and a strong friend in our efforts to achieve sustainable development and peace and security in Sri Lanka. Bilaterally, we have a very robust relationship through multiple activities, including the US-Sri Lanka Partnership Dialogue, which was initiated in 2015, when the then Secretary of State to the United States Mr. John Kerry came to Sri Lanka, the first Secretary of State to do so in 48 years was, I think, a high point of our relationship.
I must say your excellency, we almost pulled off the impossible by even having President Obama here in 2016. In fact, the date he gave for a one-day visit while visiting the region was the same day as the Vesak Day. It was the only day that was available for him and we had to regret it with great sadness because if he did come then, that certainly would have been a historical visit but I'm sure in the future one day, we certainly will have the President of the United States coming here to Sri Lanka.
And of course, the assistance offered through USAID, US Peace Corp and the House Democracy Partnership Programme are some the initiatives we are working together with. Recently, the US Government approved the Foreign Military Financing as well as the Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact Programme for Sri Lanka, which was put on hold, but we are looking forward to a new team coming to Sri Lanka next month and I'm hoping that the board meeting to be held in March will decide to give us that elusive compact again.
I must thank Ambassador Alaina Teplitz and her team for the active engagement with our community, particularly in Matara, and the opening of this American Corner is yet another major step to improve people-to-people contacts.
Let me wind up my remarks by thanking everyone here for successfully arranging this event, particularly the Board Members of the Matara Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I hope you will utilize this new facility for the maximum benefit. Thank you.

This latest developer diary for Hunted: The Demon's Forge has a ton of information. The makers of the game discuss the story, settings, and inspirations for the upcoming co-op title. Lucy Lawless, who plays the voice of Seraphine, is featured prominently. Judging from this video, the devs have crafted a deeper story than we usually get from hack and slash games. The story will be more than just a mere suggestion as to why you're killing everything between points A and B.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge will release on May 31 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The game will support two player local and online co-op.
Warning: There are a few spoilers here. Very little is said outright, but the allusions to the themes and plot points are laid on pretty thick.

Spectral Corsair Season II – Episode 1 part 4: "What Has The Legion Ever Done For Us?"
Hanbal felt a terrible sense of foreboding. Here they were, about to spring their trap to take out the Witchsmeller Sister Mariam, about to storm the Golden Griffin at Neoptra spaceport on Coriolis, and now their Legion back-up was gone. Reports of fighting in the Cellar, sporadic incidents around Coriolis and a battle at the Lift in the Core, sparked the start of what would become known as "The Three Day Coriolis Insurrection", and all Legion forces were scrabbling to resist.
They were on their own. This assault would inevitably be a tough battle, and what had the Legion done to earn and keep their loyalty? Ajit Mehr, a long-standing Legion assassin, complained that he'd never seen a single Birr in payment. Norsa was chafing under the Legion's yoke, and had never been happy with the situation. Ozgare held no great love for the Legion, but his hatred of the Order of the Pariah kept his desire to kill the Witchsmeller smouldering.
But there was a way out: they could just run, get to the Corsair and flee Kua in the confusion caused by the fighting. Mariam had told them to go.
"This isn't a dictatorship," Hanbal said over their comms network. "I'm not going to order the assault if we aren't all in. If we want to run, we can run. But if we run we will have to keep running, as both the Legion and the Zalosians would be after us."
After some debate, Ajit finally summed up the reluctant conclusion they were reaching: "okay, let's get this done" he said.
Glancing through the window in the airlock they could see the Griffin's cargo bay doors, open wide enough for one person to squeeze through with its up ramp extended. Ajit dashed across the hanger, followed by Ozgare. A Zalosian acolyte burst through the Griffin's cargo bay doors, weapon in hand and explosives strapped to his chest. Ajit fired, three quick shots from his rifle. As the attacker fell discus-shaped grenades flew from the cargo door, blowing Ajit from his feet. Ozgare dragged him to cover as Hanbal approached the ship from the other side, covering the gap with his gun. The Zalosian who reached out to throw another grenade was immediately dropped and Hanbal dived for cover as the grenade went off in his victim's hand.
Dusting himself off Ajit reached the side airlock, out of view from the cargo bay doors. Covered by Ozgare he jacked his tablet into the ship's interface, and battled to take control of the ship's systems. As he did so another wave of Zalosian Covenstead acolytes rolled upon them: Ajit shot one at close range; Ozgare took a wound to his legs as shots came from under the ship itself; Hanbal fired at a zealot bearing down on him, wounding the man but not stopping him detonating his explosives. The blast threw Hanbal from his feet, one of which took the brunt of the blast, bones breaking.
Norsa finally arrived and moved immediately to the cargo doors as they started to open. Seeing Mariam dressed in ornate animate armour and glowing with a weird energy he threw his blade. Even with only one arm the Nekatra put enormous strength into the effort but it skipped off the Witchsmeller's shoulder. It landed with a metallic thunk by her right foot. Mariam looked down at it. The blade hopped impossibly into the air and flew towards the Nekatra, embedding itself squarely in his thigh. With a roar of pain and anger the beast fell, his blood once again spilling viciously.
Again Ozgare came to the rescue, and used all his strength to drag Norsa into cover. He patched the wound and stopped the bleeding, and again Norsa's life was saved by one of the Corsair's crew.
Ajit finally took expert control of the Golden Griffin's systems and sealed the doors to the cargo bay. Mariam was trapped but there was a surge of radiation, her animate latticed armour building to a huge detonation…
"I like you."
The telepathic words echoed inside Ozgare's head. "I don't want you to die. Leave now, before my armour explodes. Go."
Ozgare quickly told Hanbal and the others, and they debated what do to while they were in a bit of a stand-off with Sister Mariam. Time passed. The radiation wasn't surging any further, but it was still there, the armour still primed to explode.
And then something they hadn't expected at all…
"If you help me I'll de-activate my armour. Save me and save yourselves too. I'm finished with the Covenstead and war. I need to escape Coriolis, there are deeper things afoot, and I need your help…"
"I am not a Witchsmeller…"
Now this seemed a bit much. If it looks like a Witchsmeller, if it's wearing animate armour, if it's ordering Zalosian acolytes around, then it's probably a Witchsmeller. And Ajit said so. But the others were ready to listen, at least in part because they didn't want to die fighting Mariam, or die in the explosion running away from her.
"I am from Ahlam's Temple, and have been observing the Covenstead from the inside, for which I had to be undercover. I now need to get to my Academy on Menkar. Perhaps you can take me there and escape the fighting."
None knew much about Ahlam's Temple, other than by reputation: an altruistic society that provides educational and medicinal services and advice; a society of people who placed the well-being of the Third Horizon above everything else. If Mariam was telling the truth this might be a way forward, a way out of the dangers they faced on Coriolis. They agreed.
Six hours later: the fighting across Coriolis was as fierce as ever, but the Legion were holding their positions and slowly gaining the upper hand; Ajit had fired up the Griffin and hacked it to launch and fly away from the station; they alerted the Legion fleet that the Witchsmeller was trying to escape in the Griffin; and launched the Corsair and were headed full-throttle towards the portals with Sister Mariam aboard.
But she wasn't the only new passenger. Abdelacar and Sara Qajar ("my chaperone, as Jubal doesn't really trust me…" said Abdelacar with a little grin) were aboard, to reassure themselves, on Jubal's behalf, that his ongoing investment in the crew of the Spectral Corsair is still a wise one…
"We may be unwelcome," Sara told them with a grin, "but looks like you're stuck with us…"
View from the GM's Chair:
This scenario, the final part of Episode 1, was intended to take the Sister Mariam and Coriolis Insurrection part of the story to a point where the players could decide what direction they wanted to take, and what kind of game they wanted to play. It wasn't helped by the fact that only four of my six players were available, but as two would be going off to university I decided to run the game as I'd planned anyway.
The denoument, that they have chosen to believe Sister Mariam and have agreed to take her across the Horizon to Menkar (a long way away from Kua), has put them back on a track where they get greater latitude as players to decide the path they want to take as part of the longer journey (as was the case for the first campaign). I think my group prefer that to the potentially more directive style and feel of a Legion agent campaign, where it's easier and more likely that they will get told what to do from one scenario to the next.
Also, I need to fess up to the fact that this outcome wasn't planned. I'd set the scenario up to offer the players a choice of holding to the Legion, or making a run for it. But during the game the players didn't seem to like either option as they saw it, and were so focussed on the upcoming fight that they didn't come up with an alternative. And then I had a Eureka moment: I remembered my chat on The Coriolis Effect about Ahlam's Temple (blog post on the site somewhere….!) and that was the perfect fit: every detail and every question I had in my mind suddenly had a really obvious and sensible answer, and so Sister Mariam, undercover agent of Ahlam's Temple, was born (or is she…?)…

10 bob buys you 15 MB and 15 SMS for a day. The 15 MB are still pretty minimal what we are concerned.
Airtel鈥檚 Daily Data 25MB gives you 25 MB for 10 bob and Telkom鈥檚 Freedom Daily 25MB even gives you 25 MB at 9 bob for a day. Without any SMS however. So how important for you are the 15 SMS that go with the bundle?
Our review conclusions: If a few SMS and a tiny bit of MB is just what you need, we won't hold you back.

"The strides that Uncle Milton has made under Transom Capital's ownership cannot be understated", says firm's president.
Transom Capital Group has confirmed the sale of Uncle Milton Industries to KCB Management.
The sale of the science and nature-based specialist represents Transom Capital's second successful exit within the last 12 months.
"Uncle Milton has been a tremendous success story for Transom Capital and we're happy to see it in the hands of its new owner, KCB Management, who will shepherd it through its next stage of growth with the current management team," said Ken Firtel, MD of Transom Capital.
"Uncle Milton is special to us; there was plenty of blood, sweat and tears that the Transom Capital team poured into making this investment a success. Above all, we're excited to see the many successes that the company will achieve in coming years."
Frank Adler, president of Uncle Milton, added: "The strides that Uncle Milton has made under Transom Capital's ownership cannot be understated. Without a doubt, Transom Capital has been a key strategic sounding board to Uncle Milton's management team.
"The Transom Capital team helped us think through a wide variety of complex issues affecting the business and always maintained confidence in our ability to execute. I'm grateful for Transom Capital's support during the past couple of years and look forward to working with our new owners."
Russ Roenick, MD of Transom Capital, continued: "Uncle Milton is a textbook example of Transom Capital's proprietary ARMOR value creation process at work.
"When we acquired the company in 2010, it was facing significant financial and operational headwinds. We took the Transom Capital playbook and, hand in hand with Uncle Milton's senior management, eliminated every roadblock that stood between the company and success. Given where we are today, I could not be happier with the outcome."


It is a period of demand volatility and rapid change. A small and agile company, wages battle with customer focused offerings for market dominance against inflexible and inward focused competitors.
During the battle, the agile company's supply chain team manages to uncover the plans to the ultimate weapon, CONTINUOUS PLANNING, a new capability so powerful it could revolutionize global supply chain networks.
Continuous planning augments periodic planning by being able to plan and react within the periodic planning cycle.
Ok, I will admit it, I am a Star Wars fanatic. I have seen all the movies at least three or four times and some of the older ones dozens of times. I have been at the theater for opening night for many of these epic movies including Episode IV: A New Hope in May of 1977 (yes, I am that old). I have also read 100s of Star Wars books from a multitude of authors. I guess it was just a matter of time until my love of Star Wars met my love of supply chain management.
Continuous planning is the ability to use near real-time information from your extended supply chain to modify demand, replenishment, supply, purchasing, manufacturing, inventory deployment and distribution plans. Continuous planning enables a quick and optimal response to unplanned supply chain events like an unexpected order, a late supplier delivery or a sudden surge in demand from unexpected weather patterns.
Sounds great, right? Well, getting to efficient and effective continuous planning requires a different organizational mindset, additional people skills, new processes, and yes, enabling technology. Organizations have to embrace the fact that periodic planning is only the starting point and that continuous planning can reduce costs and improve customer responsiveness. A concept first theorized by Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke, the chief of staff of the Prussian Army in the late 1800s who famously stated, "no plan survives contact with the enemy" is very relevant to supply chain planning where the enemy is unforeseen and unplanned events.
To be effective in a continuous planning process, planners need the ability to analyze the effects of an unplanned event and quickly develop recommendations on the best path forward. Simply following a pre-described repetitive planning process is no longer adequate. Planners need to understand company objectives and priorities, channel and customer requirements, and product characteristics not to mention capabilities and limitations across the extended supply chain. A rich background in analytics and the ability to create and use simulations, scenarios, and tabular and graphical data analysis capabilities is critical to determine an unplanned event's impact on the business and make recommendations that are easily understood by management.
Continuous planning processes need to be connected to periodic planning processes, based off the same data, the same assumptions and the same enabling technology. The optimized periodic plan is the starting point for continuous planning activities. The same supply chain "digital twin" that was used to create the optimal periodic plan should be used to analyze the unplanned event and determine the best response. Executed responses for unplanned events should feed back into the periodic planning process so that the next periodic plan is based on the most updated information.
Advanced Analytics to enable rich analysis using predictive, prescriptive and cognitive analytic tools.
As Yoda said, "Already know you that which you need." In this case I think we all know we need continuous planning. Continuous planning by itself might not have the capability to restore peace and order to the entire supply chain, but it is a step in the right direction. Considering the hyper pace at which things happen in the supply chain galaxy today, I think the time has come for continuous planning.


KellyJones.ca | Why wasn't I invited?
Keeping up with the Joneses acquired a whole new meaning on Friday night. It now means trying to break the world record for the largest gathering of people with the same last name.
More than 1,220 people whose last name is Jones converged on Cardiff, Wales, to break the record. Jones is said to be the most common surname in Wales, but many came from as far away as Canada, Australia and the United States.
Singers Grace Jones, Dame Gwyneth Jones and Gwyn Hughes Jones performed for their namesakes.
Welsh singer Tom Jones — born Thomas Woodward — sent a special message to those who gathered.
Attendees had to present photo identification or birth certificates to Guinness World Record scrutineers.

ASolid Creates SSD Confusion By Using Similar Model Number To Competitors
By Chris Ramseyer 2018-06-11T13:20:00Z
We're not fans of companies borrowing part numbers from their competitors. It creates confusion in the market, and even worse, it just shows a lack of innovation when a company can't even piece together a unique product number.
For the last two years, Silicon Motion, Inc. has shipped the SM2258 4-channel SATA SSD controller. In that time we've come to call this part the "2258". It's a simple, and precise, abbreviation that everyone reading a SSD review knows and understands. It's a popular controller, and now there are two 2258 controllers.
ASolid jumped into the market with the AS2258 2-channel SATA controller that, on paper, shows similar specifications, features, and component support as its SMI counterpart.
The AS2258 ships in products destined mainly for mainland China, where low-cost SSDs are big sellers. To reach insanely low prices some off-brands "reclaim" flash from broken devices like SSDs that have been returned for replacement. That sounds bad on its own, but those are a product tier higher than counterfeit SSDs, which ship in the millions.
We're not claiming ASolid or its partners have done anything that nefarious, they just took the 2258 name and made it their own. It's really too bad the company chose to go down this road. The performance of the AS2258 is pretty good for a low-cost SSD. The sequential performance looks good. We did notice a lack of high random read performance with the AS2258, however, which is what makes the SM2258 such a good controller for consumer workloads.


Magnum Energy BP-D Double Back Plate for 1-MPDH or 1-MPSL and 1-MPX The BP-D is a single-piece, powder-coated steel back plate designed to accommodate two MP or MPX enclosures, two Magnum inverters, and two inverter hoods together; making the complete system appear more seamless. Designed with PEM (i.e. internally threaded) nuts, the back plate is shipped with ¼-20 x ¾" Hex head bolts for easily mounting the MP enclosure, a Magnum inverter, and the inverter hood.

John Burton, D.D. (1696–1771) was an English clergyman and academic, a theological and classical scholar.

Life
Burton was born at Wembworthy, Devon, where his father Samuel Burton was rector. He was educated partly at Okehampton and Blundell's School, Tiverton in his native county, and partly at Ely, where he was placed on his father's death by the Rev. Samuel Bentham, the first cousin of his mother. In 1713 he was elected as a scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and took his degree of B. A. on 27 June 1717, shortly after which he became the college tutor. He proceeded M.A. 24 March 1720-1, was elected probationary fellow 6 April following, and admitted actual fellow 4 April 1723.

As college tutor he acquired a great reputation. Particulars of his teaching are set out in his friend Edward Bentham's 'De Vita et Moribus Johannis Burtoni . . . epistola ad Robertum Lowth,' 1771. In logic and metaphysics he passed from Robert Sanderson and Jean Le Clerc to John Locke; in ethics from Aristotle to Puffendorf's abridgment and Sanderson's lectures. Twice a week he lectured on Xenophon and Demosthenes, and occasionally he taught on some Latin author. It was through Burton that the study of Locke was introduced into the schools, and he printed for the use of the younger students a double series of philosophical questions, with references to the authors to be consulted under each head. A set of exercises which he gave the undergraduates of his college for employment during the long vacation was printed under the title of 'Sacræ Scripturæ locorum quorundam versio metrica,' 1736.

For the Oxford University Press he obtained a gift from John Rolle, and a legacy from Dr. Walter Hodges, the Provost of Oriel College. Through the circumstance that Burton had been tutor to a son of Dr. Henry Bland, a fellowship at Eton College was bestowed on him on 17 August 1733, and when the vicarage of Mapledurham became vacant by the death of Dr. Edward Littleton on 16 November 1733, Burton was nominated thereto by the college and inducted on 9 March 1734. Dr. Littleton had married a daughter of Barnham Goode, under-master of Eton School, and left her a widow 'with three infant daughters, without a home, without a fortune.' The new vicar allowed the family to remain for a time in their old home, and the story runs that 'some time after a neighbouring clergyman happened to call and found Mrs. Littleton shaving John Burton.' At this sight the visitor remonstrated with his clerical friend, and the result was that 'Burton proposed marriage and was accepted.' Burton devoted much of his income to improving the parsonage and the glebe lands.

His other university degrees were M.A. in 1720, B.D. in 1729, and D.D. in 1752. On 1 February 1766, towards the close of his life, he quitted the vicarage of Mapledurham for the rectory of Worplesdon in Surrey – he was instrumental in the building of the embanked causeway, including investing local church funds, for the main Woking road over the River Wey at the Woodbridge, Guildford so that his parishioners might travel to Guildford in all seasons. A year or two later he was seized by fever, but he still lingered on.

His death occurred on 11 February 1771, and he was buried at the entrance to the inner chapel at Eton, precisely in the centre under the organ-loft.

His mother took as her second husband Dr. John Bear, rector of Shermanbury, Sussex. She died on 23 April 1755, aged 80; her husband on 9 March 1762, aged 88; and in 1767 her son erected a monument to their memory. Dr. Burton's wife died in 1748.

Works
Throughout his life Burton poured forth tracts and sermons; most of the sermons are reprinted in 'Occasional Sermons preached before the University of Oxford,' 1764–6. Many of his Latin tracts and addresses are in his 'Opuscula Miscellanea Theologica,' 1748–61, or in the volume 'Opuscula Miscellanea Metrico-Prosaica,' 1771.

He contributed to the Weekly Miscellany a series of papers on 'The Genuineness of Lord Clarendon's History of the Rebellion—Mr. Oldmixon's Slander confuted,' which was subsequently enlarged and printed separately at Oxford in 1744. The circumstances which led to their production are set out in Samuel Johnson's Lives of the Poets in the life of Edmund Smith: George Duckett had misled John Oldmixon, to the effect that Smith had been employed by Francis Atterbury and others to garble Lord Clarendon's history before it was published.

Burton was fond of jokes. One or two of them can be found in S. Pegge's Anonymiana (1809, pp. 384–5), and an allusion to Ralph Allen provoked William Warburton to insert in the 1749 edition of the 'Dunciad' (book iv., verse 443) a caustic note on Burton, which was subsequently omitted at the request of Thomas Hayter. While at Mapledurham he wrote 'The present State of the Navigation of the River Thames considered, with certain regulations proposed,' 1765; second edition 1767.

In 1758 he issued a volume, 'Πενταλογία, sive tragœdiarum Græcarum Delectus,' which was reissued with additional observations by Thomas Burgess in 1779.

Burton made frequent visits to his mother in Sussex, and in 1752 described his journey there in  'Όδοιπορούντος Μελεθήματα, sive iter Surriense et Sussexiense.' Numerous extracts from this tour were printed in the 'Sussex Archaeological Collections,' viii. 250–65. His Latin poem, 'Sacerdos Parœcialis Rusticus,' was issued in 1757, and a translation by Dawson Warren of Edmonton came out in 1800.

Politics and religion
Though Burton was a Tory in politics, he was as extreme as William King of St. Mary Hall, and he criticised, as 'Phileleutherus Londinensis,' the speech which King delivered at the dedication of the Radcliffe Library, 13 April 1749. King thereupon retorted with a fierce 'Elogium famæ inserviens Jacci Etonensis; or the praises of Jack of Eton, commonly called Jack the Giant,' with a dissertation on 'the Burtonic style,' and left behind him in his 'Anecdotes of his own Times' several stinging references to Burton.

An oration which Burton delivered at Oxford in 1763 gave him the opportunity for an attack on John Wilkes, whereupon Charles Churchill, in the 'Candidate' (verse 716 et seq.), retaliated with sneers at his 'new Latin and new Greek,' and his 'pantomime thoughts and style so full of trick.'

A Latin letter by Burton to a friend, or a 'commentariolus' of Archbishop Thomas Secker, attracted attention, and was criticised by Archdeacon Francis Blackburne on behalf of the latitudinarians, and by Philip Furneaux for the nonconformists in his 'Letters to Blackstone.'

When the settling of the Province of Georgia was a live issue, he took an active role, and published in 1764 'An Account of the Designs of the late Dr. Bray, with an Account of their Proceedings,' a tract often reprinted, on the episcopalian Thomas Bray.

Role in the Founding of Georgia
Burton was recruited by James Oglethorpe, whom he had met at Oxford, to lay plans for a new colony in America. The initiative, which envisioned a model colony founded on humanistic principles, was taken up in 1730 by a philanthropic group known as the Associates of Dr. Thomas Bray. The group applied for a royal charter, which was granted in 1732. The charter created the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America, and Burton was named in the charter as a founding Trustee. Given Burton's close relationship with Oglethorpe it is likely he participated in framing the elaborate design of its economic system and settlement plan (see The Oglethorpe Plan). The humanistic principles upon which Georgia was founded were underscored in the Trustees' first annual sermon, which was delivered by Burton. Burton described the new colony as one where colonists would "seem in a literal sense to begin the world again." Leaving behind an Old World system that offered little opportunity, they would become part of a new society that would reward hard work and personal virtue. In the sermon, Burton also articulated a policy of "equity and beneficence" toward indigenous Americans.

Q: Insert Node at end of doubly linked list I am trying to insert a node at the end of doubly linked list but when I run the add method, the code never finishes running. Here is the code below:
public class DoublyLinkedList<T> {
    static class Node<T> {
        T data;
        Node<T> next;
        Node<T> previous;

        Node() {
            data = null;
            next = null;
            previous = null;
        }

        Node(T value) {
            data = value;
            next = null;
            previous = null;
        }
    }

    private Node<T> head;
    private int size;

    public DoublyLinkedList() {
        head = null;
    }

    public DoublyLinkedList(T value) {
        head = new Node<T>(value);
        size ++;
    }

    public void add(T value) {
        Node<T> append = new Node<T>(value);
        append.next = null;
        if(head == null) {
            append.previous = null;
            head = append;
            size ++;
            return;
        }
        Node current = head;
        while(current.next != null) {
            current = current.next;
        }
        current.next = append;
        append.previous = current;
        size ++;
    }

I pretty sure the line that says current.next = append is the problem, but I am not sure how to fix it. What am I doing wrong?

Home » CFB » 2021 Big 10 Championship Odds
Last time out we took a gander at the 2021 SEC Championship odds. Keeping with that beloved college football futures theme, today we will head north to dig into the betting odds to win the Big 10 Championship. Can anyone upset the Ohio State Buckeyes?
Ohio State is listed as a heavy -200 favorite to repeat as Big 10 champs, but is that number justified? Four other teams (Iowa, Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan) are listed as +900 underdogs to shock Ohio State and capture the conference title. Do any of these teams present any betting value? First, let's check out the Big 10 Championship odds from the fine folks over at Fanduel.

Best Bet to Win the Big 10 Championship: Wisconsin (+900)
With Ohio State probably having a lockdown on the Big 10 East division, we will head to the West division for our best bet. Sure, the Buckeyes will probably be the dominant team in the entire conference once again. However, we must remember that Ohio State has to replace Justin Fields, Trey Sermon, and a plethora of other NFL draft picks. Here is why we see a ton of value on the Wisconsin Badgers at the nice 9 to 1 price.
The Badgers underachieved in 2020 and head coach Paul Chryst will have them motivated and raring to go when the 2021 season kicks off. Wisconsin has a decently tough schedule but the main positive news is all of their difficult conference games (Michigan, Penn St, Northwestern, and Iowa) are at home in the friendly confines of Camp Randall Stadium. The best scheduling news that Badgers fans get is that they do not have to play Ohio State during the regular season.
We expect quarterback Graham Mertz (9 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 2020) to look a lot more comfortable this season because 2021 will mark his third year on campus. Also, the Badgers lost lots of their playmaking receivers due to unfortunate injury luck last season. The top three wideouts are back in Kenric Pryor, Danny Davis, and Chimere Duke. This trio should be able to stretch out any defense, especially Duke, who has track guy type of speed.
If the Wisconsin receiving corps can stay healthy, that should open up more holes for running back Jalen Berger. Berger, a former four-star recruit, showed flashes of potential greatness last season while averaging 5 yards per carry and scoring two touchdowns. The Badgers should once again have one of the best offensive lines in the country and that should help their offense dominate the time of possession battle.
We have Wisconsin playing against Ohio State in the Big 10 title game. Although Ohio will be a heavy favorite, anything can happen in one game. Holding a +900 Badgers ticket seems like a good thing with all the big pieces they have coming back.
Longshot for the Big 10 Championship: Northwestern +3000
You simply have to admire a coach like Pat Fitzgerald. The guy has been doing more with less talent for quite some time now at Northwestern. The Wildcats have captured the Big 10 West division crown twice in the last three seasons.
Fitzgerald is one of the best coaches in the Big 10 and is quite possibly the best pure motivator. This is probably why Northwestern handsomely rewarded Coach Fitz with a nice 10-year contract extension. The schedule sets up perfectly for the Wildcats in 2021 because they do not have to play Ohio State, Penn State, or Indiana. This is a huge advantage for Northwestern and it is a big reason why we are putting a few dollars down on the 30 to 1 price.
The Wildcats got a nice addition in the offseason when former South Carolina quarterback Ryan Hilinski transferred to Northwestern. Hilinski has a big arm and had a decent 2019 season with 11 touchdown passes and only five interceptions. Hilinski will have a top target to throw to this year as well because a top-level speedster named Stephon Robinson Jr. transferred in from Kansas. A highly touted running back named Cam Porter should make plenty of plays for the Wildcats offense as well.
Northwestern's defense carried the team in 2020 and they were a big reason why the Wildcats beat Auburn in the Citrus Bowl. Unfortunately, a lot of that talent has left for the NFL. However, the defensive line is still loaded with lots of experience and should be able to pressure the quarterback.
Bonus Bet for the Big 10 Championship: Indiana (+2000)
WOW, what a season the Hoosiers had in 2020! The same group of players that nearly knocked off Ohio State last season are back for another shot at them in 2021. Head coach Tom Allen has taken this program to new heights and Indiana is now known as more than just a basketball school.
All reports have been positive regarding the recovery of veteran QB Michael Penix Jr.'s knee injury. Penix has his favorite old buddies coming back with Stevie Scott returning at running back and Ty Fryfogle at wide receiver. This Hoosiers offense has the weapons and the crucial experience needed to upset Ohio State in the East division.
More good news for the Hoosiers is that the majority of their defense returns for the 2021 season as well. Indiana's secondary will be led by highly talented guys like cornerbacks Tiawan Mullen and Marcelino Ball. The Hoosiers also get to play Ohio State at home in Bloomington this year and they will have revenge on their minds.
At the current 20 to 1 odds on FanDuel, we will gladly hop on the Hoosier bandwagon in 2021. There is no doubt that this team will be fun to watch this season! Go Hoosiers!

In the opening decades of the twentieth century, Germany was at the cutting edge of arts and humanities scholarship across Europe. However, when many of its key thinkers - leaders in their fields in classics, philosophy, archaeology, art history, and oriental studies - were forced to flee to England following the rise of the Nazi regime, Germany's loss became Oxford's gain. From the mid-1930s onwards, Oxford could accurately be described as an 'ark of knowledge' of western civilization: a place where ideas about art, culture, and history could be rescued, developed, and disseminated freely. The city's history as a place of refuge for scientists who were victims of Nazi oppression is by now familiar, but the story of its role as a sanctuary for cultural heritage, though no less important, has received much less attention. In this volume, the impact of Oxford as a shelter, a meeting point, and a centre of thought in the arts and humanities specifically is addressed, by looking both at those who sought refuge there and stayed, and those whose lives intersected with Oxford at crucial moments before and during the war. Although not every great refugee can be discussed in detail in this volume, this study offers an introduction to the unique conjunction of place, people, and time that shaped Western intellectual history, exploring how the meeting of minds enabled by libraries, publishing houses, and the University allowed Oxford's refugee scholars to have a profound and lasting impact on the development of British culture. Drawing on oral histories, previously unpublished letters, and archives, it illuminates and interweaves both personal and global histories to demonstrate how, for a short period during the war, Oxford brought together some of the greatest minds of the age to become the custodians of a great European civilization.

The Pursuit of Happiness: Football Pumpkin Fun!
I've made these stuffed pumpkins in the past and they were a huge hit! I had so many requests last year when I didn't make them that I decided to bring them back for fall this year...with some twists! So look forward to some fun new designs I'll be posting about during the fall season!
Everyone can have ordinary orange pumpkins, but what about sports-themed pumpkins?
Start out by cutting out 6 pieces of fabric for the pumpkin and 2 pieces of felt for the stem. Click on the images below to get the templates.
Cut all the shapes out. Then pin the three sets of pumpkin panels with right sides together.
Using a 1/4 inch seam, sew only ONE side of each of the three panels.
After sewing all 3 panels, they can be put together to create the pumpkin shape. Pin two of the groups together with right sides in. Sew along ONE side of this group also.
Then attached the last group of panels. On this piece, sew around the whole thing, but leave a small hole for you to stuff it.
Turn the fabric right side out and stuff.
Pin the hole closed and hand-sew with a whip stitch.
For the stem, you have your two pieces of felt that you cut earlier. Pin them together and use a zig-zag stitch to attach the pieces together.
Add a tiny bit of stuffing to the inside of the stem to puff it out. You may need to use a small tool like a pen to push the stuffing in.
Pin the stem to the top of the pumpkin.
Hand-stitch all 4 corners of the stem to the pumpkin.
To make different sizes, just resize the panel and top templates.
And here's some Iowa ones for my sister who is a huge Hawkeyes fan!
What a great idea. Im a new follower through New Friend Friday!
Beyond cute! I need to see if I can get my mama to make me some Gator pumpkins. I have no crafty talent myself. HA!
Well, if those aren't the cutest dang things! My cousin's girlfriend would love these. He plays for the Atlanta Falcons.
Too bad I've 'retired' from sewing, heehee!
Those are great! The neighbors are huge Mizzou fans ... I'm sure they would LOVE some of those. Thanks for sharing ... I've posted a link.
Super cute Lisa!!! I love it!
These are so fun...love the stem too. What a great little gift these would be.


No please, don't get up.
I can levitate all by myself.
I'm sure you must see lots of levitating clergymen.
Yes, I know it's not even a foot up, but still.
Just play your flute or whatever.
Go on, keep doing what you were doing.
Just gonna levitate for my own sake.
Sure is high up here.
Oh, how I hope never to see the Sun.
To be honest, the best thing about the novitiate is all the restrictions.
It must be unpleasant to have to do all sorts of things that other people do.
Like eating, or going outside, or breathing more than thrice an hour.
Well it has been great holding you.
Really just a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Sure am gonna have to tell my friends about this.
Anyway, you are…uh, kinda heavy.
OKAY THEN well I guess we're just gonna stay like this a little longer.
Oh sorry, you caught me at a bad time. I was just dying clear away.
I can never pray without my little blue bow.
You must pray, Iphigenia, you must pray harder.
But Mother, we've been doing it for six hours.
If you do not pray, Iphigenia, you can never be well.
We don't have any more candles left.
Iphigenia, how shall you feel when you are dead and gone far from your own home and all its earthly lights and all who love you?
I've even got a little space for you to sit here.
Yes, I know there are bones on it.
Well you'll just have to move them.
How long are we gonna keep saying grace, Jimmy?
Because I'm using the Roman Canon.
I love how this new makeup makes my face match my surplice.
And please bless mommy and daddy.
And please let us eat lots of desert.
And please crush the Modernist heresy in all its damnable ways.
I hate. every. inch. of it.
John…there's, there's a light all about you.
Well I certainly am the most glittering ornament in the room.
I'm sorry, Cecil, but the Church does teach that you have no immortal soul.
Yes, they are rather nice wings, thank you.
Unfortunately I can't move them at all.
I had no idea such a thing could happen to me.
I walk into the room and what do I see?
What? You don't pray to your poetry books?
Deathly pale is the new black.
Little Peter enjoys his prayers.
He smiles as he prays.
He smiles because he thinks about how, at the Judgment Day, the Lord will cast down the heretics, the wicked, and the reprobate into the everlasting flames of Hell forever, where the demons shall rend the very flesh of their bones and devour them.


The European Union (EU) wants to take its war on plastic to the next stage: the European Commission has recently proposed a total ban on almost all single-use plastic products in a bid to reduce Europe's carbon emissions and marine litter.
This can't possibly be the legacy we want to leave behind.
Plastic is a massive problem — sure, it was amazing when it was first developed (and it still is), but there's just too much of it, and we're clearly not using and recycling it responsibly. Recent studies have found that plastics are ubiquitous in the world's oceans, slowly killing marine wildlife. There are an estimated 5 trillion plastic pieces in the oceans and a truck's worth of plastic is dumped into the oceans every minute. This is clearly not sustainable and has to change as soon as possible. Some countries have already implemented laudable recycling systems, but that can only accomplish so much. At the end of the day, there's no going around it: we need to reduce our plastic consumption, and we need to do it quickly.
A good place to start is single-use plastic. We don't really need it, we can't really recycle it, and by definition, it's short-lived. The European Commission has recently proposed a total ban on some single-use plastic products: plastic cotton buds, cutlery, plates, straws, drink stirrers and sticks for balloons. They also want to drastically reduce the use of plastic food containers and drink cups by implementing a mandatory tax on them.
The EU says that implementing these measures as soon as possible will also yield economic benefits. The entire world is moving in this direction, though some are moving slower than others, so having an early bird approach could offer a competitive advantage. This will also offer incentives to develop innovative, sustainable recycling or waste management solutions.
This is just a proposal for now. It remains to be seen whether it will be implemented or not, but it's certainly a big step in the right direction.


AAPL: Question is if wave 3 of 5 of major 1 peaked. Or if that was only wave c of a b with a new low for IV to follow? Drop to $105 followed by a move above $113 (to around $117) will cement the former. A drop below $100 the latter. Note that so far we've had a 50% of the price move since the ATH made May 2015. Rather common for a b-wave.
FB: kept advancing in the most ugliest fashion we've ever seen. One day down, next day up, etc… until the last day of March that is. Since then, FB has been steadily declining and looks and counts best as a b-wave advance. Note the symmetry between the prior and most recent advance.
