Barça over Madrid: Tiki-Taka To La Manita!
November 30, 2010 — by Suman — 3
"What did la manita say to Mourinho?"
If you didn't get to watch, nor haven't heard the news, the world did not end Monday night in Barcelona–although no doubt there are a good number of people in Madrid who would disagree, as the result was almost as surprising and devastating as the apocalypse itself. 5-0 for Barcelona. Yes, 5-0.
We'll be back up in here with additional commentary. For now, we give you some video highlights (down below at the bottom), and direct you once again to read Sid Lowe (who provides the best commentary in English on La Liga, at least that we've come across). His column this morning in the Guardian is headlined "Barcelona, the 'Orgasm Team', win another epoch-defining clásico" (you'll have to read all the way to the bottom of the column for the orgasm allusion), with subhead: "It was not that they thrashed Madrid 5-0, defeated Mourinho and his unbeaten €292m team. It was that they did it their way." And his first five paragraphs are devoted to explaining la manita:
Eric Abidal raised his hand. Gerard Piqué raised his. And the crowd that engulfed Jeffren Suárez raised theirs. Víctor Valdés raised his hand, latex glistening in the light. Soon the Camp Nou raised its hands. So did the fans that gathered down the Ramblas – palms open, fingers outstretched as if willing the nails to grow. Not far away, a hand was raised on the front cover of Sport. On the back, their cartoonist was taking the easy way out. "Today, instead of drawing," he wrote, "I have decided to scan my hand." So he did.
El Mundo Deportivo: "Super Manita!"
Meanwhile, right about the time Andrés Iniesta was posting pictures in his pants, in a warehouse somewhere they were already rushing off a batch of T-shirts to go with the Barça tupperware, Barça knives and Barça tool set. Blue and yellow and yours for just €9.95. On the back it reads: "great theatre". On the front it doesn't read anything much. Just the dateline and the score from last night's clásico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid: Camp Nou, 29/11/2010. 5-0. And, above that, a giant yellow hand.
Jeffren's late goal made little difference, but it made all the difference. Madrid were already being humiliated. José Mourinho, already suffering his worst ever defeat as a coach, felt "impotent", barely moving as fans chanted for him to "come out the dugout! José, come out the dugout!" It was already 4-0 and into additional time and Almería's Henok Goitom,thrashed 8-0 by Barcelona last weekend, had long-since noted: "I know how you feel: you just want the game to finish." But the game had not finished, not yet. The fifth goal had to arrive and when it did, it mattered. It turned a baño – a bath, a drubbing – into a manita, a little hand. A goal for every finger. The most perfect of beatings.
Especially for Barcelona. Because if manitas are symbolic in Spain – and even fans of Racing Santander have their T-shirt – in Barcelona there's something even more emblematic about them. If Abidal didn't know exactly what the gesture meant, Piqué, son of a Barça director and asoci from birth, certainly does. Last week, after that win in Almería, Cristiano Ronaldo had shrugged: "I'd like to see them get eight on Monday." They could have done and eight would have been great, but somehow five, while fewer, feels more fitting today.
When El Mundo Deportivo called it a Super Manita, everyone in Catalunya knew what they were measuring it against. This was the fifth time Barcelona had defeated Real Madrid 5-0. Beyond 1934-35 and 1944-45, two linger in the memory: the 1973 team led by Johan Cruyff the player and the 1994-95 Dream Team led by Cruyff the coach. No one could watch last night and not recall Cruyff. Or Romário. Just in case, television programmes drew on the archive. Last night two epoch-defining victories became three.
See below for the best video clip we've found so far on footytube. At least you get to see all five goals, although not much more, and with commentary in German. Hopefully we'll find some more extensive game film, and break down how exactly Barça was able to tiki-taka it's way to la manita.

The third evolution of the Digimon Virtual Pets is the Pendulum Progress. Three versions were released alongside the D-Scanners for Jogres compatibility. To obtain certain Digimon in the Pendulum Progress, you may Jogres with certain Digimon on the D-Scanner. The Pendulum Progress a full roster of 24 Digimon on each version and has many new features, most notably the ability to battle solo with an 'in game' Digimon so you can achieve the higher levels without having to connect with another pet. The LCD screen is much larger features larger sprites and a new side-scrolling menu. The same 7 features are present, but there is no "Call" display. Instead, your Digimon will simply make a sound and visually 'cry out'.
Sound Feature: Hit the A and C buttons at the same time, and select OFF at the Menu to disable the sound.
Pause Feature: The Pendulum Progress 1.0 and 2.0 have no pause feature. In other Pendulums, you can simulate one by bringing up the clock and hitting A and C to 'change the clock' then leave it on with the time blinking. However, you cannot do this with the Pendulum Progresses 1.0 and 2.0. On the Pendulum Progress 3.0, there is a true pause feature. To activate it, hit the B and C buttons at the same time and bring up the new Menu. Select YES and the screen will go blank, and your Digimon will be paused, the clock will not advance.
Scale: The Scale screen contains all your Digimon's vital statistics. There is the Age/Weight screen as per usual, as well as the "Stage" your Digimon is at evolution wise. The new addition with the Pendulum Progresses regarding the food and strength hearts is that instead of simply having 4 of each, you can have many more hearts. Shown are the bottom four hearts, but above there are two numbers (Ex: 12/16) where 12 is the amount of hunger hearts filled out of 16. As you evolve the denominator will increase for both the Hunger and Strength meters. Next, there is the traditional DP gauge, followed by a new statistic screen. It shows your Health Points (HP), which determine how much damage you can take; your Attack points (AP), which determines the strength of your attacks; and lastly your Speed Points (SP), which determine your ability to dodge. Train your Digimon in "Normal" and "Battle" modes to raise the stats. The Battle/Jogres (B-J-) screen remains, although only specific Digimon from the correct version of Pendulum Progress can Jogress with another Pendulum Progress or D-Scanner.
Meat: There are two options. The top selection is a piece of meat, which will increase the Digimon's hunger. The second selection is the Protein Pill, which will increase your Digimon's Strength.
Training: This is where your Digimon will train; a successful training session will increase your Digimon's strength naturally. Now, there are two options here as well.
It is required you get 5 Points or higher to increase your Strength hearts. A series of 5 sequential Double Shots earns you a "Mega Hit", a series of 5 Triple Shots will get you a "Giga Hit" and a series of 5 Super Hits will earn you a "Tera Hit". Training will decrease your DP level, and DP is necessary to train.
Battle: The Pendulum Progress series offers a secondary training method called "Battle" where you will battle an opponent Digimon. Victories will be counted but losses will not, so it is possible to have a 100% Win Ratio. The battle method is the same as in the original Pendulum, but instead of best out of three, you and your opponent both have a health gauge. You will face three of the same Adult Digimon in a row one after the other if you keep winning. After every three you will fight a Perfect Digimon and then three more Adults and so forth. On your 100th Battle you will now fight the Ultimate Digimon. Defeating the Ultimate will earn you Master Status, and a trophy will be shown in the Status screen. Earning Master Status will cause every shot during Training and Battle to be a Super Hit. Once you have 999/999 battles, the battle counter will say 'Champion' and battles will no longer be counted.
Connection: For the Pendulum Progresses there are two functions for connecting. -Battle: Choosing this option leads to a sub-menu. There is "PROGRESS," which is for battle with a Pendulum Progress, "D-SCANNER" for battle with a D-Scanner, and "OTHER" for battle with other electronic pets. As the Pendulum Progress has a different method of fighting it needs a separate option for the older pets. Fighting with other electronic toys allows you to increase your Win Ratio; the more battles and higher your Win Ratio, the more likely it will be you will reach the Perfect Stage. Check the Evolution requirement of your goal Digimon for the target Win Ratio. Fresh/In Training Digimon cannot battle, and for the other Digimon DP is necessary.
- Jogress: Again you need to select the Pendulum Progress or D-Scanner from the sub-menu, depending on which item has the compatible Digimon you want to Jogress with. On the D-Scanner, the lower-level Digimon will be lost and replaced with the higher-leveled one.
Toilet: This will wipe the screen clear when your Digimon poops approximately every three hours. Your Digimon will become sick if it poops 8 times without having the mess cleaned.
Lights: Select this function to turn the lights off when your Digimon is ready to sleep. You must do this within 20 minutes, or it will count as a care mistake and your Digimon will wake up one hour later. A full 8 hours' sleep is necessary to refill the DP Gauge.
Bandage: This is where you provide medical attention for your Digimon. If it becomes sick (the '�c') above its head use the top selection and if he is dying (the skull) use the bottom selection. Sometimes your Digimon will refuse the treatment and you will have to keep trying until it accepts. If your Digimon gets the sickness/dying status too many times or is left untreated, it may die. Your Digimon can still get injured in battle even if it wins.

Reprehensible: Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour by Mikey Robins
Category: Humour | Reading Level: 4 Non Fiction
Rollicking and informative, Reprehensible: Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour is your guide through some of the most shameful behaviour indulged in by humanity's most celebrated figures, as told by Mikey Robins, one of Australia's most beloved comedians. It is often said that we live in era of constant o utrage, but we are definitely not the inventors of outrageousness. Let's be honest, human beings have always been appalling. Not everyone and not all the time, but our history is littered with those whose work and deeds have rendered them . . . reprehensible. Sometimes it's our most esteemed luminaries who behave the worst. In Reprehensible: Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour, Mikey Robins holds the mirror up to everyone, from Popes to politicians, from certified artistic geniuses to scientific and mathematical minds without peer - few emerge without blush or blemish. For instance, what are we to make of Catherine the Great's extensive collection of pornographic furniture, Hans Christian Anderson's too-much-information diary and Karl Marx's epic pub crawls? Or hall-of-fame huckster William McCloundy, who in 1901 actually 'sold' the Brooklyn Bridge to an unsuspecting tourist, and the Pharaoh who covered his slaves in honey to keep flies off his meal? Did you know about the royal ticklers of the Romanov court, and the bizarre coronation rituals of early Welsh kings? (Let's just say that eating a white horse wasn't the weirdest part of the ceremony.) And who else but Mikey could uncover the story of Chrysippus, the Stoic philosopher who laughed himself to death at the sight of a drunk donkey? So sit back and rest your conscience: there will be a host of scoundrels, bounders and reprobates, tales of lust and power aplenty, as we indulge in that sweet spot where history meets outrage, with just a bit of old-school TMZ thrown in for good measure. ...Show more

Directed by Heidi Ewing
Thu, Apr 16, 2020 at 7:30 pm
Iván is an aspiring chef in Mexico, struggling to make it in the kitchen and provide for his son. When he meets and falls for the effervescent Gerardo, he is denied seeing his child and decides to illegally cross the border to pursue his dream of being a chef, promising to return to those he left behind when he can. In this tender true story that blends narrative and documentary, I Carry You with Me (winner of both the Audience and NEXT Innovator Award at Sundance) captures an emotional journey of sacrifice and love.
"Heartache hangs thick in the air in I Carry You with Me, a tale of love not thwarted but tested by constraints of culture, country, and law. What distinguishes this first narrative feature from documentarian Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp, One of Us), aside from a swoony blend of realism and romanticism that periodically calls to mind recent queer cinema landmarks like Moonlight, are its sweep and scope. Tracing the decades-spanning relationship between two Mexican men, from the first sparks of flirtation to committed coupledom, the film glides back and forth in time, between countries, through memories, moods, and reveries." – Jon Frosch, The Hollywood Reporter
Director Heidi Ewing
Heidi Ewing began her career making documentaries, debuting with Inside Scientology (1998), part of the TV series Investigative Reports (1991-2011). Among her documentary features are The Boys of Baraka (Festival 2005), winner of a special jury prize at SXSW; Oscar-nominated Jesus Camp (2006); Detropia (2012);Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You (2016); and One of Us (2017). I Carry You With Me is her first fiction feature.

El hijo de crack es una película de cine sonoro argentino, estrenada el 15 de diciembre de 1953 en el cine Normandie de Buenos Aires. Fue dirigida por Leopoldo Torres Ríos y su hijo Leopoldo Torre Nilsson y protagonizada por Armando Bó, Oscar Rovito y Miriam Sucre. En el elenco participan importantes jugadores de fútbol profesional de la época como Mario Boyé, Tucho Méndez y Ángel Labruna y periodistas como Fioravanti.

Circunstancias
La película retoma el tema tratado en Pelota de trapo, también dirigida por Torres Ríos y actuada por Armando Bó. Es la última película en la que Leopoldo Torres Ríos y Leopoldo Torres Nilsson, padre e hijo, trabajaron juntos.

Argumento
Mario López (Oscar Rovito) es un niño, hijo de un crack de fútbol (Armando Bó) en decadencia. Vive un mundo conflictivo y dual. Por un lado, mientras su padre es repudiado por los simpatizantes, por ya no estar en condiciones físicas para jugar, él, lo sostiene tratando de creer que solo se trata de una caída pasajera; por otro lado, su madre y su abuelo materno, rechazan el mundo del fútbol y de la calle, sosteniendo que se trata de un mundo primitivo e inadecuado. Tomando fuerzas en la fe y el amor que su hijo le tiene, el crack, vuelve a tener un gran partido. Pero el esfuerzo, le cuesta la vida.

Helping Granny - A tale of our time
I've been intrigued by the restrictions of twitter and also about the impact of social media on family life. Tonight, an idea thats been germinating for a while came to fruition in the form of a short story in tweets via www.tweetchat.com. The Twitter messages or "tweets" are reproduced below, with the identifier #grancare - an easy way for Twitterers to follow a thread amongst the flood of messages.
I want to try a short story, in tweet chapters so to speak. If an illustrator want to collaborate for a future repeat, great! #grancare
Helping Granny, a tale of our time #grancare
Granny lived alone and had coped quite well. Like anyone, sometimes she was sweet, sometimes she laughed, sometimes she spat fire! #grancare
One day, her grandson Errol came to visit. They drank tea, ate lots of cake and Errol listened enraptured to Granny reminiscing. #grancare
In a quiet moment, Granny confided to Errol "Things are such an effort nowadays - the sales calls on the phone, the junkmail!" #grancare
I find it hard to remember which pills to take and when and I think Ive read the newspaper twice today!" she added chuckling #grancare
"Most of all, it's very quiet at times, with families too busy with their own lives to call or far away to visit" Granny sighed. #grancare
Errol drove home from his visit to Granny very thoughtful about her words. "What can I do?" #grancare
That evening, Errol sat in the lounge with his laptop in front of the Telly, with his cup of hot chocolate and supply of biscuits. #grancare
He logged into facebook and read the many entries by family and friends. Suddenly he began to write a new post. #grancare
"Dear all" wrote Errol "wouldn't it be great if we all phoned Granny a bit more often and visited more regularly?" #grancare
The next day, Errol innocently logged into facebook and received an unexpected surprise! #grancare
Errol had forgotten that Auntie Sandra was the black sheep of the family and only spoke to Uncle Eric. #grancare
The whole Sanderson family held the Hendersons in contempt ever since the unfortunate incident of the aspic at Ronnie's funeral. #grancare
Emily was on an extended research project in Borneo and Errol's brother was preoccupied with his sextuplets starting school. #grancare
"I'm tied to a tree fighting loggers" came short shrift from Emily "and my solar powered mobile is breaking down!" #grancare
"Our stretched family limousine can't make the hairpin bends or climb the hills near Granny's" wailed Errol' brother. #grancare
The Sandersons were unanimous in blaming the Hendersons and conversely the Hendersons said they'd done more than their fair share! #grancare
Uncle Eric told him to sod off! Only Auntie Sandra responded positively, (if Errol understood her text in nuspeak correctly). #grancare
Somewhat shaken and deflated, Errol swapped the hot choc for a full bottle of finest malt and was unconscious for the weekend. #grancare
The next week, he resolved to call Granny - but the line was engaged. Using callback, Granny finally got in touch. #grancare
"I don't know what's got into everybody!!!" she raged, "I haven't had a moment's peace from the phone!" #grancare
Then she added more mollified "Your brothers visiting next week! He's hired a bendy bus. And Eric's coming for lunch next week!" #grancare
"You could visit more often" Granny said pointedly. "But I visited last week" Errol sighed. "Oh yes! - But you're always welcome!" #grancare
An hour later, Errol rang off and sat down to log onto facebook. "No", he suddenly decided happily, "I'll twitter today!" #grancare
A Cambridge Contribution on Microscopes, Explorers, Medical Pioneers and Inventors on the Fourth Plinth
The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square was unoccupied since its completion in 1841, when money for a planned equestrian statue failed to materialise - until the Mayor of London and various arts groups initiated a series of exhibitions upon it. One & Other is the current event, assisted by Sky Arts, a brainchild of Anthony Gormley, of "Angel of the North" fame. See him talk about his vision here
Antony Gormley on the Fourth Plinth from One & Other on Vimeo.
For 100 days since the middle of July, members of the public have been occupying the plinth for 1 hour each, 24h a day, come rain or shine. They are chosen by a draw from those who had applied to be part of the project. What you do on the plinth is entirely up to you, as long as it is legal. The project will provide not just a piece of art but also a social record of our society in 2009.
With around 30000 applying for 2400 places, I thought it was worth joining. The August and September draws came and I was unsuccessful. Resigned, I was therefore surprised to have a call a couple of hours after the September draw results asking
"We have a slot free on the Plinth. It's at 2am on 16th Sept are you interested?"
"YES!!!" was my resounding exhilarated reply!
I set off at nine pm to catch the train to London, where a narrow band of rain had been inundating the Plinth with nearly an inch of rain over the past hours. I arrived at Trafalgar Square with rain still bucketing down at 11pm. Fortunately, there was a warm welcome and a cup of tea in the temporary two storey One&Other building on the square from which the event was run, within sight of the Plinth.
There was a camaraderie in that cabin amongst the Plinthers who had just completed, and those who were to go up in the next couple of hours. Stories and experiences, ambitions and fears, Distances travelled and places to go all discussed. Plinthers would go out to view the current incumbents and lend support in a constant ebb and flow. There was tight security, but very sensitively handled. Safety was paramount too. We were all also interviewed and photographed individually as part of research by the Wellcome Trust as well as to provide material for the forthcoming record as a book of the event.
I was extremely lucky! The rain stopped just before I got onto the cherry picker, Stuart of security walking ahead of us as we slowly drove to the plinth, only missing the red flag that men walking in front of early automobiles used to have. I turned to One & Other Jamy who was escorting me and found out that his hobby was Birding with a pleasure at having recorded some Ospreys earlier this year. The Cherry picker rose well above the plinth and then delicately lowered to the edge of the plinth where Mike from Wales had been dancing for the full hour, ready to come off on a physical and emotional high.
And then I was alone on the 1.5m x 4m plinth, 8m above the ground with spotlights and cameras trained on me and a group of friendly hecklers below. (Video of event with times of highlights in text below video available here).
The main thread of my stay was people's hobbies, demonstrated by mine, microscopy. The link to the plinth was the Victorian connection to the birth of amateur microscopy and its flourishing in the Victorian age. I was able to include my favourite 17th Century scientist Robert Hooke, of the Royal Society, who's excitement initiated real interest in microscopy with his book Micrographia; Darwin, who used a simple microscope on the Beagle and later at home, for example on his studies on the goose barnacle; John McArthur, early 20th Century medical researcher in Malaria who settled in a nearby village in Milton, Landbeach, and who invented the McArthur portable microscope used by the Trans Antarctic Expedition headed by explorer Vivian Fuchs, later Sir Vivian Fuchs, and head of the British Antarctic Survey, now based in Cambridge. John also developed the 1972 prize winning McArthur Microscope in plastic for the Open University, who used nearly 8000 of these for students studying biology in their homes for over 25 years.
I'd brought my Watson Kima microscope along, dating from 1957, just one year after I was born (and the year that the Trans Antarctic Expedition successfully completed its journey after 99 days), to look at a few prepared slides, one of Black Oak by Ernie Ives, a Foraminiferan mount by Brian Darnton and a Head louse prepared by myself. The spotlights onto the plinth provided sufficient light and an additional bond of the activity to the plinth to let me view and photograph the samples.
There had been queries about bringing glass slides onto the Plinth for safety reasons (glass was excluded). however, I conducted a full risk assessment - the first submitted by a Plinther! And special permission was granted in advance. (Copy of Risk Assessment here)
The highlight for me was the sample that I had plundered from the fountain in Trafalgar Square (with permission!). The small amount of green sediment captured in a plastic Petri dish not only contained algae, but a free living nematode! A particular delight as I'd worked on parasitic nematodes in the past.
The hobby of microscopy was brought bang up to date by using a digital camera to capture images and then to upload them using a dongle on my laptop to a Picasa album for all to see (see the album at http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/miltoncontact/Oneandother# , for time reasons, I did the upload back in the One & Other shelter).
This would all have been a little remote for the viewer at times as they could not see the samples and photos there and then. I was therefore extremely pleased that, thanks to the generosity of Peter Burt and Jamy Limited, I had a brilliant banner with large photos that I could demonstrate to both the small audience at the base of the plinth and the cameras.
All that remained at the end was to round off with a summary and to pack up. The last few minutes were used to photograph the steel Plinth surface which, after 60 days or more, was showing interesting surface effects (see slide show at top).
Emotionally, I came off on a high that stayed with me for several days. I spent some time back in the One & Other shed uploading pictures. Then, because there was no tube running and no trains to Cambridge till early morning, I set off at around 4am to wander the streets of London with the camera, finally progressing the Victoria Embankment from the Houses of Parliament in the dark to St Paul's at dawn.
Arriving back in Milton, I collapsed in bed and finally slept, with a deep sense of satisfaction at taking part as a small facet in this snapshot of people in Britain in 2009.
I would like to express my special thanks to all those who commented and supported me on my Plinther's Chris_T_1 One&Other page.

Hidden art and desecrated graves in Cambridge
It was a big mistake getting off at Elizabeth Way bridge with a camera last Saturday, as my original intention was just to visit the bank and Waterstones. Instead, I stood captivated by the murals in the Underpass and decided to see what other interesting Art I could find by meandering through the backstreets of Cambridge..
My first find was the Cricketer's Arms in Melbourne Place. Windows on the first floor sported three pictures of first, a Cambridge United footballer, a cricketer and an Irish Rugby player. Chatting to the publican Martin Hyde, who was delighted in the interest, I discovered the following.
The pictures had been designed by the pupils of nearby Parkside school as part of a competition set up by Martin to convert the ugly blacked out windows into something a lot more interesting. A teacher then converted the ideas into scaled up paintings in emulsion.
On my way to Mill Road to see Martin's other pub, the Earl of Beaconsfield and Disraeli painted as a leprechaun, I discovered Mill Road Cemetery.
With graves predominantly from the 1880s to early 1900's, it was a peaceful picture of genteel neglect in the glorious sunshine of the day. A number of the monuments were broken and there was evidence of vandals desecrating tombs and gravestones both from the distant past and extremely recently. Poignant WWI memorials were scatted with the bodies of the young who died, including one in 1918 close to the end of the war and another at Paschendale. The delightful find was the memorial to John Reynolds, who ran the telegraph coach from London to Cambridge back in the 19th century.
Just before Kingston Street, I asked two ladies if they were aware of any interesting art or signage nearby. None they could remember, and yet within 50 yards I found the wonderfully decorated 80 Kingston Street. Chatting to Claire, who just happened to be at a window, i discovered that this was the home of the women's Paradise Housing Cooperative, colloquially know as housing "The Birds of Paradise".
Taking time and looking around, I found the leprechaun, Mill Road bridge mural and many other artwork and signs, where a little imagination had created a small but positive impression on their environment in Cambridge.
Click on the slideshow to be taken to the Picasa album with captions to the pictures.
(Oh yes, and despite wandering around for 4 and a half hours, I did get to Waterstones and the bank too.)
How do others see your company?
Meeting with a group of German IT companies in Potsdam in preparation for the marketing assistance programme to the UK, I was again struck by the diversity and ingenuity of their ideas. As part of the afternoon they were supposed to fill in company information forms, ostensibly to assist with our market researchers. Like forms everywhere, my fear was that they would inexplicably lack the company's vibrant USPs, so essential for our market researchers to understand if they were to successfully find interested UK contacts. Having been up since 4 in the morning that same day, the silence of studious form filling was also likely to be highly soporific!
So we tried something different! Pairing up, one of the pairs would describe their company, its goals and ambitions, which the other partner would then interpret and use to fill in the form. The roles were then reversed. At the end, each company gave a presentation. In fact, we've We even had one company brave enough to give the presentation of their partners in English to general applause!
The background hubub and engagement was stimulating, the presentations informative. The companies gained useful insights and practice in honing their pitch in a safe environment. Even better, there was also a bit of networking afterwards! An application for a XING group has been initiated.
My suggestion is therfore to use a future networking meeting to try this with a trusted partner.
1. Describe your company, ethos and offers briefly
2. then see what your partner understood and reflects back to you
3. Of course, you can return the favour!
The slideshow is of Potsdam and the museums in Berlin, two cities in constant change, which may also reflect the positive forward looking attitudes of the companies from this region.

Colorectal Cancer Therapeutics Market 2020 - New Research Report Published By Radiant Insights
Submitted By: vasu999
GBI Research, the leading business intelligence provider, has released its latest research, "Colorectal Cancer Therapeutics in Asia-Pacific Markets to 2020 - Improved Regional Healthcare Access to Drive Uptake of High-Cost Targeted Therapies", which provides in-depth insights into the indication. It gives an estimation of market size for 2013 along with forecasts until 2020 for the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, which comprises Australia, China, India and Japan.
It also covers disease epidemiology, treatment algorithms, treatment patterns, in-depth analysis of clinical trials including failure rates and pipeline analysis, and analysis of deals relevant to Colorectal Cancer (CRC). The market in the APAC region was worth an estimated $1.9 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.5% to $1.9 billion in 2020.
Get Enquiry About Report: http://www.radiantinsights.com/research/colorectal-cancer-therapeutics-in-asia-pacific-markets-to-2020-improved-regional-healthcare-access-to-drive-uptake-of-high-cost-targeted-therapies
The use of targeted therapies is expected to increase in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets (for the purposes of this report, APAC refers to Australia, China, India and Japan only), as patient access to these more expensive agents improves. The moderate uptake of late-stage pipeline products panitumumab and Xilonix, following their expected approval, is expected to drive additional growth within this market. Others such as ramucirumab, TAS-102, TS-1, MelCancerVac will also contribute.
An increasingly aging population and a year-on-year increase in the number of incident cases will provide an additional boost. However, the recent implementation of a price ceiling on essential drugs in India; anticipated pricing restrictions in China; and low access, penetration and price erosion due to generic dominance, especially in India, stand to curtail the APAC CRC market.

Von Miller makes eighth Pro Bowl; Sutton, Jackson Spencer alternates
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Von Miller hasn't lived up to his expectations this season. But he has lived up to his reputation. Even without his usual eye-opening statistics, Miller was voted as a starter in the Pro Bowl. Miller extended his streak to six straight Pro Bowl berths and has eight trips overall. Three teammates could join him in Orlando on Jan. 26, 2020. Per sources, receiver Courtland Sutton (second), safety Kareem Jackson (third), and returner Diontae Spencer (third) were chosen as alternates. That means they are on the list to replace injured players or those with postseason obligations.
Miller, 30, has seven sacks in 13 games, leaving him on pace for his lowest total since 2013, the only season he has failed to earn Pro Bowl honors. However, Miller has played roughly 90 percent of the snaps this season and improved his run defense. The lack of sacks doesn't tell the entire story. Miller ranks seventh in pressures (33) and eighth in quarterback hits (16), despite missing a game for the first time since 2013 with a sprained ACL in his left knee. Miller is only the fourth Broncos player to get named to eight Pro Bowls, joining John Elway (nine), Steve Atwater (eight) and Champ Bailey. Elway and Bailey are Hall of Famers, and Atwater is a candidate to reach Canton again this February.
Miller expressed frustration after Sunday's ninth-straight loss the Chiefs, creating questions about his future. He put that to rest Tuesday, telling Denver7, "I don't like the way some of it was portrayed. I don't want to leave. At all. This is my identity, playing for Broncos. I have no Plan B. That's why it hurts so much to lose."
Sutton delivered a breakthrough performance in his second year. The former SMU star boasts 63 receptions for 1,019 yards and six touchdowns. He has excelled despite the Broncos starting three different quarterbacks this season. Sutton credits his offseason work for improving his ability to get off the line better and create space. He has also shown better body control on highlight catches.
For Jackson, the honor comes on a day when the NFL announced he would be suspended the final two games stemming for a Sept. 19 DUI arrest. On the field, Jackson has lived up to his billing. Playing safety full time for the first time in his career, Jackson has 71 tackles and brings toughness. He has delivered the biggest hits of the season in wins against the Chargers, Texans and last week's loss to the Chiefs.
Spencer finally created stability for the Broncos' return game. A veteran from the Canadian Football League, Spencer averages 7.9 yards per punt return with a long of 42. He also averages 28.9 yards on 12 kick returns.
Safety Justin Simmons and Derek Wolfe were notable snubs. Simmons has graded out as the team's best performer in many weeks. He leads the Broncos with four interceptions. Wolfe owns a career-high seven sacks, pulling it off in 12 games before dislocating his left elbow.

This is great. I am going to give this to the press. The NYPD is clearing leading people that way.
feel free to cue in livestream or whatever. man, i had to climb up to the upper level of the bridge, that was freaking stressful. cheers to those who can afford getting arrested!once was enough for myself.
i hope you all are out already and feel fine!


If you are one of those people who finds regular chocolate a little sickly, you ought to try Nestle Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels. These are made from semi-sweet chocolate, which is something you can't get in the UK. These chocolate goodies are really popular in America, not just because they are a tasty confectionery item, but because they are incredibly versatile and are commonly used in baking, especially for making cookies, cupcakes and brownies. If you like chocolate and haven't tasted Nestle Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels, you are in for a treat.
Each bag contains 340 grams of Nestle Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels, which are like little chocolate drops. Eaten on their own or added to your baking, Nestle Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels are a really versatile confectionery item. You will find them in many kitchen cupboards in the United States. Because they are made with semi-sweet chocolate, they are perfect for baking. In addition, you won't get that sickly feeling if you indulge and eat a few as a snack.
While these are a highly popular item in America, Nestle Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels are not available in UK shops, but we import them for your pleasure and they have becomea must for bakers.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate (Sugar, Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Milkfat, Soy Lecithin, Vanillin [an Artificial Flavour] Natural Flavour) Produced from genetically modified maize.

 * hipe_x86_signal.c
 *
 * Erlang code compiled to x86 native code uses the x86 %esp as its

 * - It permits the use of the x86 call and ret instructions, which
 *   reduces code volume and improves branch prediction.
 * - It avoids stealing a gp register to act as a stack pointer.
 *
 * Unix signal handlers are by default delivered onto the current
 * stack, i.e. %esp. This is a problem since our native-code stacks
 * are small and may not have room for the Unix signal handler.
 *
 * There is a way to redirect signal handlers to an "alternate" signal
 * stack by using the SA_ONSTACK flag with the sigaction() library call.
 * Unfortunately, this has to be specified explicitly for each signal,
 * and it is difficult to enforce given the presence of libraries.
 *
 * Our solution is to override the C library's signal handler setup
 * procedure with our own which enforces the SA_ONSTACK flag.

You can configure the data rate at which your DAQ device acquires data by customizing the data ranges and setting the values for slow, medium, and fast data rate levels.
Select the Configure Data Rates from the toolbar, or click Configure from the Configure Data Rates dialog.
Specify each frequency in Hz or s (seconds, for intervals) for the desired slow, medium, and fast rates.
Click OK to apply the rates for the module.

In the Premier League era, few clubs have experienced as many false dawns as Liverpool. Top players have come and gone, including some of the finest footballers in Europe - Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard and Luis Suárez, to name but three. Yet none of them have been able to inspire the Reds to Premier League glory.
Under current manager Jürgen Klopp, who replaced Brendan Rodgers in 2015, Liverpool have finished in fourth place in the last two seasons - respectable showings, but nothing like the Reds' thrilling (though ultimately failed) title bid under Rodgers in 2014.
Until now, Reds fans have been willing to cut Klopp plenty of slack - partly because he comes across as very likeable and charismatic, but also because the fans are aware that it takes time to build a winning team.
The stunning goalscoring exploits of Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and especially Mohamed Salah, and the Reds' scintillating run to last season's UEFA Champions League final, have also earned the manager plenty of goodwill.
However, there is only so long that a manager can say that his side are a work in progress and need time to develop. As Klopp prepares for his third full season at Anfield, he will likely be acutely aware of this.
Firstly, they need to tighten up at the back. Secondly, they need to be more effective when faced with stubbornly defensive opponents. Both of these weaknesses were brutally exposed by Manchester United last season.
Thirdly, the Reds need to stop dropping points against lesser teams - a problem which was made glaringly evident by Stoke City and West Brom towards the end of last season.
In all fairness, Liverpool have done as much as could reasonably be expected to make their defence more watertight, at least in terms of spending. They have broken two transfer records in a single year, making Virgil van Dijk the world's most expensive defender and Alisson Becker the world's most expensive goalkeeper. Midfielder Fabinho is another potentially excellent defensive signing.
As for the problem of breaking down defensive sides, the Reds' acquisition of dynamic midfielder Naby Keita - and their pursuit of France winger Nabil Fekir - are definitely steps in the right direction. This would also help to make Liverpool more ruthless against lesser opponents, who tend to employ defensive tactics when they face Klopp's side.
All in all, this means that Liverpool now have outstanding players in every area of the pitch, although there are still doubts about their strength in depth - especially in terms of cover for their lethal front three of Mané, Firmino and Salah.
It also remains to be seen whether full backs Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold can emulate last season's exploits, while Dejan Lovren's recent claim to be one of the world's best defenders sits uneasily with some of his past performances for the Reds.
However, it is no exaggeration to say that Liverpool now have arguably their strongest squad in the entire Premier League era. Even when they challenged for the title in 2014, the Reds' frailties at the back were all too evident - not least in the disastrous 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace towards the end of the season. At least on paper, these frailties have now been addressed.
Of course, this may not be enough to prevail against Pep Guardiola's City and the other usual suspects - United, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Arsenal, especially with Maurizio Sarri and Unai Emery promising to bring new impetus to the Blues and the Gunners respectively.
Nevertheless, with the players he now has at his disposal, Klopp's side can reasonably be expected to make at least a compelling bid for Premier League glory.
For the last three years, his team have played some of the most exciting attacking football in England, but so far they have nothing to show for it. If they can only deliver more of the same in the 2018/19 season, Klopp may ultimately go down as just another of Liverpool's growing number of 'nearly men'.

Avengers Endgame News
Early Avengers: Endgame Box Office Estimates Are Insane
By Dirk Libbey published 28 February 19
We all new Avengers: Endgame was going to be a huge movie. From a story standpoint, it's the culmination of everything that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been building towards. It will be the end of some major character arcs and possibly the beginning of others. Anybody that has even been paying partial attention to the MCU will want to be part of this cinematic event. We knew this movie was going to make money, but early estimates are absolutely off the charts, as it appears Endgame could set a box office record with nearly $300 million in ticket sales on opening weekend alone.
Avengers: Infinity War set an opening weekend record last year when it did $257 million in sales upon opening. Avengers: Endgame is set to better that mark by a decent number, as Bloomberg is reporting it could see an opening weekend of $282 million.
With Infinity War being such a massive hit and leaving the story unfinished, it's all but a guarantee that people will be back to see how the story ends. And not being there opening weekend means being left out of the cultural conversation on Monday when everybody else knows what happens and you don't.
Interestingly, it is pointed out that there is one thing that will potentially stand in the way of Avengers: Endgame record setting weekend, the run time of the film. It has been reported that Endgame could see a run time of close to three hours. If that's the case, it could mean that theaters won't be able to run as many showings of the movie in a day as they could for Infinity War, meaning the movie will take in less money simply because fewer people were moved through the theater over the course of the day, even though every showing will likely be sold out or close to it.
Avengers: Infinity War finished it's run with just over $2 billion in worldwide ticket sales. It finished just $20 million short of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on the all-time box office list, and with Endgame looking to better the previous installment by over $20 million on opening weekend alone, Endgame is poised to take that spot. If the film does improve on Infinity War in every country where it opens, then the top two slots, currently occupied by Titanic and Avatar, could also be in danger.
And of course, it's early, which means that we get closer to the April release date for Avengers: Endgame these numbers could just as easily go up as even more people begin to get excited about the film. And all of this will be on top of the success of Captain Marvel, which is also setting pre-sale ticket records and is looking to be another major hit for Marvel Studios.

Please note that php.js uses JavaScript objects as substitutes for PHP arrays, they are
the closest match to this hashtable-like data structure.

Please also note that php.js offers community built functions and goes by the
[McDonald's Theory](https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/9216e1c9da7d). We'll put online
functions that are far from perfect, in the hopes to spark better contributions.
Do you have one? Then please just:

### Example 1
This code
{% codeblock lang:js example %}
ltrim('    Kevin van Zonneveld    ');
{% endcodeblock %}

Should return
{% codeblock lang:js returns %}
'Kevin van Zonneveld    '
{% endcodeblock %}
