We've all been there: raring to go after seeing a super-cute free pattern, we pick up the prettiest crochet yarn and get to work. Soon though, it's clear that the pretty yarn was too chunky for the, say, delicate baby socks we wanted to make. Lesson learned. When choosing a crochet yarn for your next project, look beyond the color and take a close look at the weight symbol. Ranging from 0 to 6, where 0 is the finest (thinnest) size and 6 is the thickest, these standardized symbols are recommended on all packaging by the Craft Yarn Council. If you're a beginner, a chunkier yarn (around a 4) will be easier to work with than a delicate choice (like a 0).
Next, you'll want to take a look at the material. Even if a yarn has the same weight, it'll differ in workability if made from 100% cotton than one made from acrylic, for example. Here's a handy little primer to guide you through the most common choices.
Sturdy with a lovely sheen, nylon threads are great for heavy-duty items like totes. However, it can be incredibly challenging to work with because nylon tends to fray very easily. Save it for when you're a little more confident with your crochet hooks.
Yarn made from this fiber is silky (especially if you steam the finished project afterwards) but very slippery. You'll see rayon yarn more in the finer end of the weight spectrum, so it's more suitable for those who are more experienced with crochet.
This popular thread material takes color fabulously well and is the easiest to care for but has little elasticity, which means that finished projects may lose shape. (Think of how cotton clothing can shrink when washed or bag when worn.) When crocheted together, the cotton threads will have gaps in between each stitch, making it better for light and airy projects geared towards the spring and summer.
Yarn spun from this fiber is ultra-soft, but will need to be hand washed later. It can be a little on the slippery slide, but bamboo yarn is otherwise very easy to crochet.
Still considered a specialty fiber, hemp is easier to find online than in most craft stores. The yarn has a bit of "tooth" to it (especially if unpolished) which can be hard on your hands as you crochet. Finished projects, however, are sturdy and resemble linen.
Ideal for beginners or anyone prone to making mistakes (*raises hand*), this resilient fiber can be unraveled easily without losing its shape.
No other yarn has the luxury factor of cashmere, which makes it intimidating to use. But, as it turns out, cashmere is soft and smooth, making it a breeze to stitch. However, you'll have to block the finished project afterwards to preserve its shape.
Another gorgeous fiber, this yarn has a distinctly fuzzy appearance. Because of this, though, it's hard to see your stitches as you work.
Thanks for sharing a perfect guide of crochet yarns. You have described effectively almost yarn. Great!

Sharing Power. What is decentralisation?
Why is it an interesting tool to promote a sustainable co-management of natural resources?

Co-management is almost synonymous with local governance, because it requires local power and capacity to exist and succeed, but also because it is, by its very nature, an instrument of local empowerment. The institutional landscape of local governance is complex and varies greatly from country to country. In most respects, local governance is much more than local government; it encompasses a wide range of organisations and institutions, both formal and informal, all of whom have a role to play in the allocation and use of rights and responsibilities at the local level. Local partners in co-management processes and agreements can be of various types, and policies are required to facilitate their participation in management.
An important innovation for the sustainable management of natural resources is a component of broader policy principles that goes under the name of "subsidiarity". Basically, this calls for a government to decentralise, delegate or devolve authority and responsibilities in several branches of social life to the lowest possible level with capacity to take responsibility for the relevant tasks (see Boxes 10.9 and 10.10).
Box 4.1 What type of decentralisation?
(adapted from Ribot, 2002 and Alcorn et al., 2003)
The term "decentralisation" describes an act by which a central government formally cedes power to actors and institutions at lower levels in a political-administrative and territorial hierarchy. If those are local branches of the central state (e.g., prefects, or local administration and technical ministries) the process is referred to as "administrative decentralisation" or "de-concentration". If those are private bod- ies such as individuals, corporations or NGOs, the process is called "privatisation" or "delegation". If those are local authorities downwardly accountable to local people, the process is called "democratic decentralisation" or "devolution".
The powers that can be transferred are: legislative (elaboration of rules), executive (implementing and enforcing decisions) and judicial. These powers and the financial resources to implement actions are rarely transferred together in integrated packages or ways that create positive synergies, a fact that com- plicates the process and often creates conflicts.
Box 10.9 More perspectives on decentralisation and devolution
As already mentioned in Box 4.1, the words "decentralisation"and "devolution"are sometimes used inter-changeably. Yet, they connote very different processes.
The term decentralisation is used to refer to the physical dispersal of operations to the local level, but also to describe the delegation of a greater degree of decision making authority to lower levels of government administration. Decentralisation thus refers to the distribution of functions and powers from a central authority to regional or local authorities, but the latter are essentially part of the same structure as the central authority. A federal structure with strong provincial control, for instance, is more decentralised than one that is solely controlled by the central government.
Devolution is more radical, involving the transfer of authority and control from one agency to a completely different one, usually more "local" and of a different origin. Effective devolution is as yet rare in the world, for the simple reason that those in power do not want to give it up, or do not believe that local institutions can perform! Even governments willing to devolve the rights to manage and use local resources, tend to retain conflict management functions, budgetary controls, and other functions that keep the local institutions effectively under their control.1
Checklist 10.1 Devolving to whom? What kind of organisations can manage common property resources?
(adapted from Shackleton et al., 2002)
A recent compilation and analysis of case studies of natural resource governance examined experiences in three Asian and eight southern African countries and from those derived the following typology of organisations found to exercise local authority over common property resources:
District organisations. These included local government organisations such as Rural District Councils in Zimbabwe and Panchayats in India, and multi-stakeholder district structures aligned to line departments such as Wildlife Management Authorities in Zambia and forest farms in China.
Village committees. These are typically initiated and encouraged by government agencies, e.g. the Village Natural Resource Management Committees in Malawi and Forest Protection Committees in India.
Corporate, legal organisations. These are composed of all rightholders and/ or residents, as Trusts (Botswana), Conservancies (Namibia), Communal Property Associations, Villages and Range Management Associations.
Households and individuals. In these cases, households and individuals are found to exercise varying degrees of authority over species selection, wildlife harvesting practices, sale and consumption, and the distribution of benefits.
Indigenous and traditional rule-making institutions. These are largely self-initiated organisations that operate outside the state hierarchy, and include traditional leaders, resident associations and share- holding schemes. Examples include the Councils of Elders in the Solomon Islands or the traditional adat village governance institutions in Sumatra that have re-emerged after the New Order period. Throughout the world, such traditional organisations still play important roles in natural resource management and represent local voices to external agencies.2
While the specific policies and arrangements for local governance vary greatly between countries and regions depending on social and political history and conditions, many co-management bodies include representatives of local government structures (see some examples in Box 10.11). Local administrators and government agencies are important actors in co-management for a number of reasons, including the following:
local administrators should be elected bodies and thus provide a measure of local representation;
local government agencies are expected, at least in theory, to provide a measure of public accountability;
local government agencies are also expected to advance "fair rules" in institutional arrangements.
Yet, we should refrain from assuming that local administrators and agencies always and effectively represent the interests and concerns of their local constituencies. On the contrary! In situations where the electoral process has been recently introduced, is poorly understood, unfairly practiced and/or limited to making a choice among candidates who have little to do with the local environment, the experience is not flattering for local governments as natural resource managers. Customary NRM bodies or even local civil society organisations would have much better chances to succeed. As a matter of fact, it is good to promote the involve- ment of both local governmental agencies and traditional authorities in co-management bodies, to introduce a good measure of transparency and to promote local communication and mutual learning.
Box 10.10 Examples of government decentralisation policies
With the overthrow of long-time dictator Moussa Traore in Mali, a new constitution was framed, provid- ing for the empowerment of local communities. A process of widespread consultation with various sec- tors of the population resulted in the demand to grant land tenure and resource management rights to local communities. In 1992, these demands were included in a rural development policy, and in 1993, a law on decentralisation was passed, granting to the local Communes sizeable independent administrative powers, including the right to manage the resources in their territories. The state retained overall tutelage, i.e. the right to intervene to enforce the law and public interest. Benjaminsen30 refers to this setup, in which governments delegate considerable responsibility and powers to manage local resources, while providing the policies, laws, and technical support, as "the core of co-management". Yet, some have been doubtful about the real reasons behind this policy and its sustainability, as it was at least partly a result of the urging of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, whose structural adjustment model requires loosening of governmental controls.
In India, two constitutional amendments of far-reaching consequence have been adopted in 1992, one granting village bodies (Panchayats) several powers, and the other doing the same for municipal bodies. A follow-up law in 1996 has extended considerable autonomy to tribal areas, though not the self-rule that some of the tribal movements have been asking for. Later, however, state governments provided their own interpretations, usually highly watered down, to these changed constitutional provisions. When it comes to actual implementation, a considerable control seems to remain with centralised bureaucracies and politicians, unless grassroots movements force actual devolution.
In Uganda, the deposing of Dictator Idi Amin in 1979 marked the beginnings of a hesitant move towards democracy. But it was not until the National Resistance Movement (NRM) took over in 1986 that extensive decentralisation of political functioning started. Through constitutional changes and new legislation (such as the Local Councils Statute, the Local Governments Act, and a new Constitution in 1995), greater power to decide about natural resources has been granted to parishes and other local-level bodies.

University of Northern Iowa (c. May, 1984)
Bob Washut: "So, Ed we should put together a little salsa band!"
Ed East: "Pfffft! Yeah Bob, you so funny!"
Orquesta Alto Maiz is something of a musical enigma. It is a popular Latin-jazz-dance band made up of musicians now living in the "heartland" of America.
The Latin tinged music they perform, usually found in the clubs of New York City, L.A. or Miami, has secured them a reputation as one of the hottest bands in the Midwest.
This strange mix of "salsa" and tall corn works because of the years of musical experience the band members bring to the group, and because of their love for the music.
Alto Maiz has been performing regionally and internationally since 1986 and has steadily built a strong base of Latin music fans and supporters wherever they've played.
Orquesta Alto Maiz plays a wide range of Latin musical styles, including merengue, samba, cha-cha-cha, salsa, calypso, and boleros. In addition to Latin-jazz standards by Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, Ismael Miranda, Mario Bauzá, Poncho Sanchez and others, the band has produced many successful original compositions as well.
Alto Maiz has recorded much of this music, producing two cassette tapes; Puerto de Tierra (1989), Casa del Fuego (1991), and eight compact discs; Dancing in the Corn (1993), Azucar Caliente (1995), Década (1997), Live at Montreux (1999), Añejando (2001), Ritmo en Azul (2004), Veinte (2006) and Live On Fire (2008).
Regardless of age group or musical preferences, Orquesta Alto Maiz strikes a common chord with its audience. Once exposed to this vibrant, pulsating music, people find it so irresistible their feet won't keep still!
Audience participation (dancing, singing) is enthusiastically encouraged. And remember, dancing is good for you, and dancing like no one is watching is even better! Once you experience them you will never forget them, Orquesta Alto Maiz, "The Salsa Band."

As the title suggests, I will be discussing my love of books. If books bore or offend you, I suggest switching to the thoroughly entertaining post about the time when I couchsurfed in New York City.
I have loved books for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I distinctly remember the thrill that came from receiving a book as a gift. I relished the opportunity to turn the pages and immerse myself in the world that they contained. And to this day, I still experience joy each time I open a new book. Wow, this has taken a much more nostalgic turn than I originally planned. I should probably give you some context for why I am writing so enthusiastically about inanimate objects.
Tonight's post was prompted by a photo that my friend Adam took today. He was wanting to try out a new camera lens and asked if I would be willing to be the subject a few shots. (Ok, ok, the truth is that I excitedly volunteered to be his test subject because I wanted a new Facebook profile picture). Anyway, we ended up taking some photos in front of my bookcase and seeing all of the titles at eye level made me realize just how much books have played a role in my life. In honor of this, I want to use this post to highlight some of my book milestones. These are not exhaustive, but they touch on some of my most memorable book experiences.
Speaking of the book that intimidates me the most…I figured that this would be the best time to say which book I will be reading to fulfill my goal of reading a book that intimidates me. I have wanted to read a book by Tolstoy for quite some time, but I have always been scared off by the long, Russian nature of each tome. But this is the year that I am going to look that unease in the face and read a massive book that is regarded as one of the top classic works of literature.
So there you have it, a post that contains not only a snippet of a walk down memory lane but also the jumpstart to what could be one of my most time-consuming goals. If you stuck with me through this entire rambling post, I want to thank you because this is the product of an exhausted person writing whatever comes to their mind.
I saw the tears caused by A Little Life. The book cover really sets you up for a nice cheery book for sure.

Air Canada Announces Ratification of New Collective Agreement by U.K. Employees
MONTREAL, Feb. 17, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada said today that it has been advised by UNITE, the union representing the airline's U.K.-based employees, that its members have ratified a new collective agreement reached January 30, 2015. The new agreement is in effect until December 31, 2019.
"We are pleased that our U.K.-based employees have ratified their new collective agreement," said Klaus Goersch, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "This ratification vote concludes the constructive work achieved between Air Canada and union representatives of our London-based employees during the past few months. I commend the bargaining committees and our employee colleagues for achieving this outcome. This agreement, following the long-term agreement concluded with our pilots, underscores the desire of our employees to work with the company to build a stronger business that is sustainably profitable."
UNITE represents approximately 200 Air Canada concierge service, cargo and clerical staff based in the United Kingdom.
This agreement with UNITE follows on the conclusion in October 2014 of a new agreement with Air Canada's pilots on collective agreement terms for ten years. Earlier in February, Air Canada also reached a tentative collective agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) representing its U.S. workforce.
Air Canada is Canada's largest domestic and international airline serving more than 185 destinations on five continents. Canada's flag carrier is among the 20 largest airlines in the world and in 2014 served more than 38 million customers. Air Canada provides scheduled passenger service directly to 61 Canadian cities, 50 destinations in the United States and 78 cities in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Mexico and South America. Air Canada is a founding member of Star Alliance, the world's most comprehensive air transportation network serving 1,321 airports in 193 countries. Air Canada is the only international network carrier in North America to receive a Four-Star ranking according to independent U.K. research firm Skytrax that ranked Air Canada in a worldwide survey of more than 18 million airline passengers as Best Airline in North America in 2014 for the fifth consecutive year.

Team leader. His main interest is the resource constrained project scheduling. He has developed several algorithms for the scheduling with generalized precedence relations and for the cyclic scheduling.
Author of the structure and the core functions of the TORSCHE toolbox. He has also developed several algorithms based on the "Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT).
His main interest is the scheduling with the generalized precedence relations and the cyclic scheduling. In the application area, he focuses on the optimization of the iterative algorithms executed on the pipeline units.
Author of several algorithms for the optimization of throughput of the Surface-Mount Technology (SMT). The algorithms are mainly based on the constraint programming techniques.
His main area of research is the production scheduling, especially scheduling with the alternative process plans. He is the author of several algorithms for the scheduling of production processes.
The main purpose of the scheduling is to assign a given set of tasks (production operations, computations) to a given set of resources (CPU units, machines, workforce) under a set of given constraints (precedence relations, deadlines) such that the objective function of the scheduling is optimized.
The main scope of our group is to design, develop and implement new scheduling algorithms for various types of problems. We dedicate a significant effort to bring the theoretical approaches to the form suitable for the real-world applications. Successful results are presented on the international conferences and published in the impacted journals. Besides the research and projects implementation, we share our experiences with students in the bachelor and master courses.
The TORSCHE scheduling toolbox for Matlab serves mainly for the rapid prototyping of the scheduling algorithms and for sharing of algorithms already implemented by our research group with the researchers and students interested in the area of scheduling. The TORSCHE toolbox is implemented in the Matlab environment, which is suitable for the fast design and testing of new algorithms and it offers a great comfort for the computations with vectors, matrices and sets of numbers or variables. The toolbox intensely supports work with graphs, there are many implemented graph algorithms and there is also a powerful user interface for the work with graph objects. Moreover, the TORSCHE toolbox contains many scheduling algorithms and the results can be easily depicted in the form of the Gantt chart or used for the simulation in the user-designed 3D environment.
Algorithms developed in TORSCHE have been used for the optimization of the computation speed of the equalizer for the GSM wireless communication. We have achieved acceleration of 46% using our algorithm compared to the original implementation. With the same algorithm, we have improved the computational speed of the filter for active suppression of interfering signal by 70%.
Another successful application of the algorithms designed using the TORSCHE toolbox is the optimization of the lacquer production where the goal is to schedule the given jobs such that the penalties caused by the tardy jobs and costs given by the storage of the jobs are minimized. We have saved 60% of these costs compared to the previous solution.
We have been also working on the optimization of the throughput of the SMT (Surface-Mount Technology) assembly line. By the balancing of the workload through the working stations, we have accelerated the production by 6%.
The TORSCHE toolbox is being used on several foreign universities, e.g. University of Houston, Gdansk University of Technology and Hunan University. Moreover, the toolbox is a part of CD attached to the Michael Pinedo's book "Scheduling: Theory, Algorithms and Systems", which is a very important publication in the scheduling area.

NFL Week 9 Talking Points
andradesport 12th Nov 2020 Uncategorised
By Josh Hatt
Buffalo bests Seattle
We have reached the second half of the NFL season, and it is now mostly clear who the contenders for the Superbowl will be. Buffalo and Seattle met on Sunday in a matchup of two teams leading their respective divisions, and it was Buffalo that came out on top with their most impressive performance of the year. Josh Allen completed 31 of his 38 passes for 415 yards and 3 touchdowns as Buffalo put up 44 points on a Seahawks defence that is becoming an issue. The Seahawks pass defence is on pace to be the worst in NFL history, and its an issue they have to try and solve if they are to make a Superbowl run. Buffalo meanwhile is very much in the mix, and this was a statement to the rest of the NFL that they are a legitimate contender.
Tua and Kyler duel it out in the Desert
Perhaps the most entertaining game of the weekend was the matchup between Miami and Arizona. Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa was impressive in his second NFL start, completing 20 of 28 passes and throwing 2 touchdowns. He was matched most of the way by second year man Murray, who threw for 3 TD's and ran for another, showcasing his talent as one of the best duel threat quarterbacks in the league. But it was Miami who ultimately came out on top, with Tua leading a game winning drive that ended in the go-ahead field goal. Tua then secured the win with a QB sneak to run down the clock. These two teams were two of the worst in the league not long ago, and it is a credit to their coaches how quickly they have turned it around. They may not be quite ready for the playoffs yet, but these teams will be fun to watch for the rest of they year, and in the future.
Saints Sizzle on Sunday Night
The New Orleans Saints put up an all-round excellent display in primetime, as they dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa. Drew Brees threw for 4 touchdowns, and easily beat fellow veteran Tom Brady, who had no answer for a Saints defence that constantly pressured him. Brady has never been the most mobile of QB's, and he was forced into 3 interceptions due to constant Saints pressure. Antonio Brown returned to the league but was unable to make an impact on his Bucs debut, as Tampa was limited to just 3 points. New Orleans takes the lead in the NFC South with this win, and now holds the tiebreaker over Tampa, having beaten them twice this season.
Other talking points from week 9:
The Pittsburgh Steelers survived a scare, as they came from behind to beat the Cowboys in Dallas. Dallas raced out to an early 10-0 lead, but the Steelers recovered from a sluggish start to ultimately prevail 24-19 after a touchdown catch by Eric Ebron late on. Pittsburgh remains the only undefeated team in the league, but this was a reminder that they must not underestimate their opponents.
Kansas City were pushed all the way by Carolina, as the returning Christian McCaffery made a big impact on his Panthers return, catching a touchdown on the opening drive and gaining 151 total yards. Patrick Mahomes threw for 4 touchdowns to win the game for Kansas City, who were unable to get anything going on the ground. Kansas City showed that as long as they have Mahomes they are always a threat, even when they are not at their best.
New England came from behind to beat the New York Jets on Monday. The Patriots were trailing by 10 going into the 4th quarter, but Cam Newton threw for a touchdown with 1:57 left, and after a Joe Flacco interception, the Patriots drove down the field and won the game with a field goal as time expired. The Jets are still the only team in the league without a win, and New England keeps its slim playoff hopes alive.
The Chargers suffered yet another heart-breaking loss on Sunday, as Donald Parham Jr was unable to hold on to what would have been the game winning touchdown on the final play of the game against the Raiders. LA has now lost 9 straight games to AFC West rivals, and have lost 72 one score games since 2006.

What Should You Ask Yourself Before Installing a New Air Conditioner?
Home → HVAC Blog → What Should You Ask Yourself Before Installing a New Air Conditioner?
Is anyone in your family sensitive to noise?
Air conditioners can be noisy things. The unit itself whirrs and grumbles when it turns on, and the start of a new heat cycle might be heard throughout an entire house. If you always noticed your old air conditioner making noise in the background or it woke up someone in the house more than once, add noisiness to your checklist. Newer AC systems are quieter and don't reduce air quality or circulation strength, and more expensive models are almost always quieter than cheaper equivalents.
Do you need to protect against allergens?
Allergies are rough all year-round. Even when you're inside most of the day, air conditioners pick up what's brought into the house. If your air filter can't trap all of the allergens and contaminants, then they will keep cycling through the system. Look for models that integrate with HEPA filters. You can also look for air conditioner units that have humidifier and dehumidifier settings for more air quality control.
There are a lot of factors you can choose between when making your next purchase, including everything from price to energy efficiency to models that best integrate with smart home systems. No matter what is at the top of your feature list, take time so you get a unit you'll like for years. Go to Texas Air Tech for more tips on how to judge different models and to get your final pick installed.


Apple is seeking a Privacy Counsel with extensive experience in healthcare privacy and a thorough understanding of HIPAA regulations. The new position confirms that Apple is planning on developing its products to be more valuable to healthcare professionals and patients, and that the company is intent on making more of a mark in the healthcare sector.
The new recruit will be required to work on cutting edge projects, providing essential input on privacy and security, working on privacy by design reviews, supporting compliance and auditing frameworks, drafting policies and procedures to ensure compliance with privacy laws, and assisting with privacy complaints and breaches. The individual will also play a major part in designing privacy solutions for Apple products.
The new position could indicate Apple is intent on developing HIPAA-compliant apps or may be working on a HIPAA-compliant backend for its frameworks to enable patient data to be stored and transmitted securely, in accordance with HIPAA Rules.
The launch of the Apple Watch was preceded by the release of HealthKit and ResearchKit in 2014, the latter being a software framework that can be used by medical researchers to gather data on patients via iPhone apps linked to third party medical sensors. The framework has already been used for a number of research studies on medical conditions such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and diabetes.
Apple has since released CareKit – an open source framework to help app developers create healthcare apps that allow patients to take a more active role in their healthcare by monitoring and managing their medical conditions using Apple devices and third party health apps.
At present, Apple is not classed as a business associate and is not required to comply with HIPAA rules and its products so far have escaped FDA regulation. Apple previously pulled a number of functions that were to be included in the Apple Watch due to regulatory issues; however, by hiring a highly experienced lawyer in the field of healthcare privacy this could signal that the company may well start to develop products and frameworks that comply with HIPAA rules, rather it leave that to third party developers.

Survival on Raft, from Megaplay Studios Free Games publisher, is a survival combat simulation game. Do everything yourself, protect your life in both single player and multiplayer. That's what makes this game so different.
Survival on raft Crafting in the Ocean is a survival simulator in which players will find nice graphics in rich colors, as well as gameplay mechanics that do not weaken in polarization and are desired by fans of the genre. The hero first suffers a plane crash, survives, then ends up on a stunted raft in the middle of an endless body of water, and now he has to independently and actually make every effort to maintain his status. Whole, not hungry, with purpose and hope, and not bitten by some rabid shark that does not intend to let go of tasty prey and constantly strives for the goal.
THERE HAS BEEN AN ACCIDENT
Survival and Crafting: Crafting In The Ocean Survival and Crafting: Crafting In The Ocean is a simulation game where you will play the role of the main character and try to survive against nature. The game opens when you are on the plane and you can fully observe other guests nearby. A sleeping boy is sitting next to you, and this peaceful scene won't last long. You can interact with things around you, but it's not really a cutscene introducing the game's content. You will perform some activities and an accident will start to happen.
FREEDOM TO CONTROL ALL ACTIONS
Entering Survival & Craft: Multiplayer, you will be placed on a wooden boat, your job is to make the best use of all the items on the boat to land safely. Use the anchor hooks, food and water on the boat for your survival backpack. Other than that, you also collect the remaining pieces of wood on the boat to build a place to stay when you go ashore and use it to craft weapons in a primitive way, but protecting your life. The buttons control the movement of the character directly on the game screen, they move everywhere with the rotation of the button to control the position of the character in the game.
UNLIMITED HUGE ENVIRONMENT
Survival and Craft Crafting In The Ocean Survival and Crafting: Crafting In The Ocean gives players a beautiful and realistic view of the environment. The details are very detailed and unique, giving players the feeling that they are stepping into a whole new world. This will be a pull factor for players who want to experience the game. Gradually, players will immerse themselves in the world of this game. The player will control the player according to the first perspective. It can be said that the player completely transforms into the character he owns.
Have you ever thought that one day you will build a wooden house on a deserted island and experience survival life here? Survival & Craft: Multiplayer allows players to freely create blueprints and build the wooden house of their dreams with the items they have obtained. Don't worry too much about the lack of furniture when building a house, the interior will be sponsored by the game, and there are many extremely beautiful items that you wouldn't have thought of. All the furniture in the house is complete and comfortable, discover and arrange the interior in your own style in a beautiful small wooden house in the middle of a deserted island.
THE FIGHT WITH THE HUNGRY
You also have to face the border between life and death by hunger and thirst without stopping there. Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover new, beneficial recipes. You can fish with a fishing rod, get water and even grow vegetables yourself. Do everything you can to survive as long as possible; if you live longer, you will receive many new gifts along with unique challenges. Not only that, you can craft building materials, clothes, chests, and billions of other things.
THE EXPERIENCE OF SURVIVING WITH FRIENDS
The special thing about Survival & Craft: Multiplayer is that you can totally invite your friends to experience survival life with you. Invite your friends on Facebook or even Instagram, and even ask the game of chance system for help. Certainly, if you have friends, you will have more support and have more interesting experiences with friends.
MULTIPLAYER MODE
Unlike other sea survival games where usually there is only single player survival mode. Survival on Raft can be played in single or multiplayer mode. Playing with multiple friends, you can gather resources together, build rafts and help each other survive in an endless and dangerous ocean. The experience is also very attractive, believe me! I tried to invite a friend to play together, it was actually warmer and friendlier than fighting for survival alone. I will always choose this multiplayer mode.

FM12: Leeds United - Bring back the glory days
By AidanofLFC,
October 7, 2011 in Good Player & Team Guide

Team: Liverpool
Managing: Liverpool
Hello, and welcome to the FM12 Leeds thread.
This is to help any user that is playing as Leeds
In here you can also post about your career as Leeds
United.
Leeds United: A brief background
Leeds United Association Football Club are an English professional association football club based in Beeston, Leeds, West Yorkshire,
who play in the Football League Championship, the second tier of the English football league system. The club's home ground is Elland Road.
The club's most common nicknames are "The Whites", "United" and "The Peacocks".
Leeds United were originally formed in 1904 as Leeds City FC. However were re-named Leeds United in 1919. Leeds play at the well-known Elland Road. which is a 37,700 all-seater.This is a good base to make money and you should capitalize on the large stadium, which can be expanded and in worst case scenario build a new one.
The Glory Years
In March 1961 the club appointed Don Revie as manager. His stewardship began in adverse circumstances; the club was in financial difficulty and in 1961–62 only a win in the final game of the season saved the club from relegation to Division Three. Revie turned the team around, winning promotion to the First Division in 1963–64. During this period, Revie succeeded in building one of England's greatest footballing sides, with a loyal group of core players.Between 1965 and 1974, Revie's Leeds side never finished outside of the top four, winning two League Championships (1968–69 and 1973–74), the FA Cup (1972), the League Cup (1968) and two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups (1968 and 1971).Set against the success was an unenvied record of second places; during the same period Leeds were runners up in the League five times, losing finalists in the FA Cup three times, runners up in the Fairs Cup once, and losing 1–0 to AC Milan in the European Cup Winners Cup final.
1975 European Cup Final
The 1975 European Cup Final was a football match held at the Parc des Princes, Paris, on 28 May 1975 between Leeds United and Bayern Munich.
Leeds dominated most of the match and had a number of near misses. After three minutes Bayern's Swedish international defender Björn Andersson had to be replaced by the inexperienced Sepp Weiss after a hard tackle from Terry Yorath, described by Uli Hoeneß as the "most brutal foul I think I have ever seen". He only played a handful more matches for Bayern. In the 23rd minute Beckenbauer was in his own penalty box on the ground and rested on his left arm which subsequently got in contact with the ball. The Leeds players appealed for a penalty which the French referee Michel Kitabdjian denied. More controversial however was when the referee denied a penalty in the 34th minute after Bayern captain Franz Beckenbauer tripped Allan Clarke, who was attacking the Bayern goal from the left wing and seemed ready to dangerously round Bayern keeper Sepp Maier. The first half also saw German international Uli Hoeneß, later president of Bayern, suffering a serious knee injury in the 42nd minute after a tackle by the Scottish left back Frank Gray, which would ultimately bring his career to a premature end in 1979 at the age of 27, and thus starting as prematurely his career in club management. He was replaced by one time German international Klaus Wunder.
In the 62nd minute Billy Bremner was denied from five metres by a reflex of Sepp Maier in the Bayern goal. Less than a minute later a goal by Peter Lorimer was disallowed, due to Bremner being in a tight passive offside position in front of the goal at at the six yard box. Referee Michel Kitabdjian initially pointed to the centre circle (indicating a goal) and then Beckenbauer convinced him to consult with the linesman who hadn't raised his flag. The referee then indicated offside against Bremner. This decision caused riots to break out.
After a match interruption Roth finished off a counter attack in the 71st minute with the 1–0 for Bayern after a short pass from Conny Torstensson. This completely derailed Leeds and ten minutes later another counter led to the 2–0 for Bayern through Gerd Müller after a cross from the right side by Jupp Kapellmann. This put the match completely beyond the reach of the team from England.
The violence saw Leeds banned from Europe for four years, although this was reduced to two years on appeal. Ultimately, this ban was never applied due to a decline in the performance of the club in the late-1970s preventing European qualification until 1991–92.
1975–1988: Legends fail as managers
Assisted by coach Don Howe, Armfield rebuilt Revie's team, and though it no longer dominated English football, it remained in the top ten for subsequent seasons. However, the board was impatient for success and dismissed Armfield, replacing him with Jock Stein, who also lasted just 44 days before leaving to manage Scotland. The board turned to Jimmy Adamson but he was unable to stop the decline. In 1980 Adamson resigned and was replaced by former Leeds and England star Allan Clarke. Despite spending freely on players, he was unable to stem the tide and the club was relegated at the end of 1981–82. Clarke was replaced by former team-mate Eddie Gray.
With no money to spend on team building, Gray concentrated on youth development, but was unable to guide them to promotion from the Second Division. The board again became impatient and sacked him in 1985, replacing him with another former Revie star, Billy Bremner.
Bremner carried on where Gray had left off, but found it just as difficult to achieve promotion, though he did bring the club close; Leeds got to the 1987 play-off final but were defeated by Charlton Athletic after extra time, a result which prevented Leeds from winning promotion and ensured that Charlton avoided relegation. Leeds also endured a near miss in the FA Cup, losing to Coventry City in the semi-finals.
The season saw Leeds return to the second tierof English football for the first time in four years with them finishing in a respectable 7th position, just missing out on the play-offs.In other competitions, the club performed poorlyin the League Cup, going out in their first match, however made it to the third round of the FA Cup forcing Premier League giants Arsenal to a replay in the process. This was a decent season for United, one which you should aim to build on.
It is a 39,402 all-seater stadium and as of last season it is the largest stadium in the Championship, As Sheffield Wednesday were relegated

Winner: 400k transfer/200k wage
Media Prediction: 3rd
Captain: Jonny Howson
Vice Captain: Patrick Kisnorbo
Other Key Players: Rob Snodgrass, Luciano Becchio, Andy O'Brien
Andy Lonergan - Slightly the best goalkeeper in your squad, followed by Paul Rachubka. Lonergan will perhaps do the job for one season, but in the long term you will need a new man inbetween the sticks. Andy is a new signing for The Whites. Having joined from Preston for an undisclosed fee.
Paul Rachubka - Also a new signing for United. He joined from Blackpool on a free in the summer, and is a decent backup to Lonergan. However again may need replacing fairly soon.
Goalkeeper Summary - You have 2 goalkeepers of around similar standard, However this is arguably the weakest position in the squad and should be invested in as a primary target, especially in the second season. Paul Lonergan is your best player in goal.
Full Backs
Paul Connolly - One of the worse players in the squad, he needs replacing as he is an ageing player. The right-back position needs investing in. Connolly is currently the only right back in the squad. Apart from Leigh Bromby who is naturally a central defender.
Danny Pugh - The best left back in the squad, but again could do with being replaced. Danny is currently on loan from Stoke and has agreed to join Leeds at the end of the season. Left back is recommended but you also have Ben Parker in the team.
Ben Parker - Parker is a decent player, but as stated above. the left back position is in need of a revamp, should perhaps look to sell Ben, as he is only a 2-star potential player and hasn't got very good stats either
Full Back summary - This position needs strengthening, both left and right sides. It lacks depth and quality. Danny Pugh is the best player in this position.
Central Defenders
Andy O'Brien - He is the best centre back in the team. You should have him and Kisnorbo in the heart of your defence, can cut it at Championship and Premier League level, you shouldn't sell O'Brien.
Patrick Kisnorbo - Kisnorbo is a good centre back that will definetly help in the Championship and perhaps BPL level too. He should be in your starting XI pretty much every week and with his decent tackling (15), he could help you gain promotion without letting too many in.
Darren O'Dea - Perhaps one for the future, he doesn't really look ready for first-team football in the Championship, a move back to Scotland looks the best thing. He is only on loan from Celtic and unless you really want him i would terminate the loan. He may provide decent backup but its up to you.
Alex Bruce - Another one you should perhaps get rid of, i would get rid of O'Dea or Bruce and unless you've got enough money, dont sell them both, you need a back-up centre back.
Centre Defense Summary - Kisnorbo and O'Brien should see you through for one season. Perhaps look at signing a talented youngster for this position. Keep one of Bruce and O'Dea. O'Brien is the best centre back in the team.
Danny Pugh - He can play Left defense, Centre Midfield and Left midfield, he is most effective in Left midfield, although he is your best left back. You do have enough cover to play him at left back, with Rob Snodgrass, Ross McCormack and Ramon Nunez.
Ramon Nunez - Perhaps one to sell, he is probably the worst Attacking Midfielder in your squad. to be honest i would sell him however he could be backup to the team.
Jonny Howson - He is your captain, he is the Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard of your team, he is creative, he can score goals and he is easily the best midfielder in your team. You should not sell Jonny Howson and if you play him right, he will light up the Npower Championship.
Michael Brown - He is about as good as Howson, he is a new signing at Elland Road, joining from Portsmouth on a free. However he is ageing and at 34 years of age, maybe only has a season left in him.
Mika Vayrynen - He is a very good Attacking midfielder, depending on your formation he should be playing most games, to get the best out of him i would recommend 4-3-1-2 or 4-2-3-1 if you want to play him.
Adam Clayton - He is a good midfielder, but you have better. You could sell him. But he would be a good backup to your team.
Midfield Summary - This is hands down the best area in your team, Midfield doesn't need improving and Jonny Howson, your skipper is the best player in this position.
Lloyd Sam - Isn't one of the better players in the squad. Perhaps look to sell Sam as he doesn't really look good enough for the first team, I think you'd be better off without him as you already have Snodgrass and McCormack for wingers.
Robert Snodgrass - The best winger in the squad, don't sell under any circumstances. He is a brilliant player in your team and should be one of the first on the team sheet.
Ross McCormack - He is a good winger and joined last season. He was a good player last season and you shouldn't really sell him. He can also play as a striker. But i prefer to play him as a winger as you have Becchio and Forrsell for up-front.
Winger Summary - You have good wingers but could perhaps do with some backup to improve the depth of your squad. Snodgrass is your best player in this position
Mikael Forssell - The best in the squad along with Becchio, he is a new signing, joining on a free in the summer. he's getting on a bit though, he is 30 years old and perhaps replace him long term with a younger signing.
Luciano Becchio - An Amazing striker, he should be in the team most games. Last season managed 19 goals in the league. He is the best goalscorer in the Leeds squad.
Billy Paynter - The 'Andy Carroll' of the team, he is a target man and doesn't really score many goals, only managing 1 league goal last season. you should perhaps look to move him on.
Andy Keogh - He's on loan from Wolves, he is a decent backup striker. Leave him at Leeds for the whole season. Just in case Becchio, McCormack or Forssell get injured.
Davide Somma - Not a bad player, but you've got better. I would recommend selling him and using the money to buy a better player, he may get a few goals but dont expect a lot
Striker Summary - The striker position is ok, it doesn't need drastic action but perhaps replace Billy Paynter with a younger player. Your best player is Forssell
Full Squad Summary
Your Leeds team is very good, among the best in the league. You might have to strengthen in a few positions, left and right back especially. You dont really have any terrible players. Your squad is quite young on the whole, but there is a few ageing players so you may need to bring in some younger talent

Tom Lees is a monster, cannot believe how good he is. Easily the best defender through pre-season. Also Monty Gimpel looks awesome, played him against Bury and he was faultless. And i wasn't aware that Pugh was coming in on a perminent deal in January for £500k....
P.S. Your guide is missing Bromby and Lees. And why no mention of the 1975 screw job against Bayern Munich in the European Cup final?

"Ramon Nunez - Perhaps one to sell, he is probably the worst Attacking Midfielder in your squad. to be honest i would sell him however he could be backup to the team."
shocking words from a leeds supporter
I agree. He's been one of the better performers in my game so far, first choice for me in the AMC spot.

Looks like an interesting team to manage. Are there any quality youngsters?
Monty Gimpel, 17, looks very good, young German central defender.
Tom Lees, 20, English central defender, again looks promising.
Aiden White, 19, English LB/WBL/ML. Bags of pace and good along the left.
Zac Thompson, 18, has been good in real life but not sure if he has the same talent in the game.

Good to see the Leeds thread up and running - thanks AidanofLFC. I agree with your squad appraisal, including the Ramon Nunez comment; LOL. I'm pretty busy this weekend so will not get much time on the demo. Should be back on here from Monday with some transfer tips.

Clayton needs a boost in the next patch IMO, and Lees perhaps, but otherwise not bad, will report back.

Thanks for starting the thread AidanofLFC, overall a great squad summary, just to add a few comments on the various areas myself:
Goalkeepers - unfortunately I think Longergan is underrated in game which leaves this quite a weak area, might have to look to bring in someone new.
Fullbacks - some decent options on the left in Pugh and White but both are better in midfield, and only Connolly on the right means again this is a weak area. Getting a new rightback is probably a priority
Central Defence - O'Brien looks the best all round defender based on in game stats, Kisnorbo also pretty good although weak in some areas (pace and mental stats), Lees is a great prospect and good enough to use as back up. Not sure the other defenders at the club are up to it so I'd probably look to offload them and maybe look to get another quality CB in if possible.
Midfield - loads of good options; Snodgrass has to start in the AMR position, Vayrynen looks quality as a AMC, Pugh and White both decent on the left, and Howson and Clayton good as CM playmakers. The only problems might be a lack of decent defensive midfielders (only Brown, and he's getting on a bit, although bizarrely Howson isn't bad defensively based on his in game stats) and possibly lack of cover for the wide positions, especially if Pugh/White end up filling in at left back. I'd agree Nunez is quite poor in game but might be worth keeping as back up for the AMC position.
Forwards - again lots of good options; McCormack, Becchio and Forssell all look good, Keogh seems decent as a support striker but probably lacks the finishing ability to play on his own up there. Somma is the best finisher at the club but out injured long term.
So overall - the squad has plenty of quality in midfield and up front, but is quite poor defensively (so a pretty accurate representation of the real Leeds team really!). I think the challenges for a Leeds manager on FM12 will be sorting out the defence and then coming up with a formation that makes the best use of all the attacking options in midfield and up front, not really sure what the best formation is myself yet but will be trying various stuff out in the demo. It does seem it will be possible to raise a bit of cash by offloading people like Paynter, Bruce, Bromby and maybe Kisnorbo/Nunez so should have a bit of cash to play with. However the start of season expectations of at least a play-off place means the pressures on to get it right from the start.
And yep, some good young prospects in Gimpel, White and Lees which is good to see.
Well if you need cover on the wing defo look at Ryo Miyachi from Arsenal, they are happy to loan him out and as i said in an earlier post, he can play on either side so playing him with Snodgrass, having them switch.... Could be good. Flanagan (RB) and Robinson (LB) from Liverpool, again i was able to get them on loan. Stuart Parnaby looks pretty good, will perhaps make the RB position his own on my save and as he comes on a free, you don't really have to touch the small amount of money you do have.
I think RB is the one position that definitely needs a signing to start with, so Parnaby does look very good on a free. Tom Hateley is another option for RB, has the added benefit of also being able to play in midfield but costs £200k (from Motherwell).
As for the rest, I'm still playing around with the current squad before deciding what to change, but will probably hold off doing too much scouting of potential signings until I get the full game as will no doubt have a much bigger database of potential players!
I looked at Hateley but his lack of pace put me off and i always want alot of pace in my sides, it's the primary attribute i try and build my sides around.
Ah good point, and pace is particularly important for a full back. Parnaby it is then!
I'm playing a similar formation to you I think, just Forssell up front with an AMC and 2 wide men. Early days but working well so far, won 4 and drawn 1 of our opening 5 Championship games. Using McCormack on the left rather than getting anyone else in for now and he's been doing pretty well out there.
Yeah, i've been using McCormack as a winger also and he isn't bad, decent back up for both Miyachi and Snodgrass, plus all 3 can play on either side which is a big advantage and saves me having to get another winger in.

How do you get opposition tactics & pitches up on Scout Reports?
All I seem to find is the strength option not formations, attacking or defensive or pitch size.

Love how White and Lees are good enough to start and have tons of potential... Very realistic! Well done researchers! though i think we owe the Bury one's for Lees' stats.
Are Chris Brough and Ricardo Ravanelli real players?
I think they've done a really good job taking into account that there's not much they could have done about Clayton and McCormack's improvement, other wise the players are almost spot on,
Finding it very hard to find any bargains out their though,
When you scout opposition, the team report has buttons across the top for squad depth, team comparison, last match, tactic analysis so you can see what tactics they play there.
But at the moment I can't see how to check the pitch size for away games either!
I dont think Brough and Ravenelli are real players, I've certainly never heard of em!
Finding it hard to find players to sign on the demo as well, other than Parnaby on a free. Guess it's a pretty small database though.
The only way I have found is to go to that clubs info screen it will give there pitch there.
Nice to hear from you again!!!
They aren't in the youth team's according the wikipedia... First instinct was Ricardo Ravanelli would be related to Fabrizio. I'm having the same problem, Jame McFadden was also available on a free but wants like 35K a week and he's about as good as Snodgrass who isn't even on half of that.
Also i have a small list of players i know are available on a free transfer.
Marco Materazzi (DC)
James McFadden (AMC/L i think)
Thomas Cruise (DL) (former Arsenal player and mission impossible specialist lol)
Stuart Parnaby (DR)
Jerzy Dudek (GK, not in the DB but he is available in real life)
As has been said, there isn't a huge amount of talent in the demo database that will come to Leeds. However, I have found a few who will improve what we start with; ironically some of them are from Finland.
GK Niki Maenpaa , Lukas Hradecky (Both Finns, check spelling).
DR Parnaby (as said previously), Timothy Durwael (squad back up).
DL Jack Robinson on loan (as said previously).
DC Glenn Loovens, Tal Ben-Haim
MC Jose Luis Acciari
AML Roni Porokora.
ST Jose Mota (gun).
None of them are that amazing, but all offer a bit of variety and are easily affordable if you decide to move some players on. There are also a couple of players from last years PA shortlist.
Edit. Mota is indeed a gun, 6 goals in 5 and picks up player of the month award. Two loanees to consider: Jordan Spence and Emannuel Frimpong. Additionally, Coen's old pal Yaya Sanogo can be picked up for £2.6M. I was put off by his unavailabilty, but this disappeared from 1st September.
Five games in, won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1. With the acquisitions, the side is decent; but in the full game I wouldn't settle for it.
Hi Elland, good to see you still around as well.
Kinda given up on the demo for now, I've played around with a few formations etc but really need the full game now so I can start looking at some proper players (and of course see what South American gems Nicko can unearth this year!)
I think I've decided I'll go for my usual 4-4-2 formation, with Snodgrass pushed forward as a AMR as he's excellent there. The starting squad looks close to being good enough for a play-off spot without the need for wholesale changes, but what the heck, I'm the same as Nicko - I'll probably make loads of changes anyway.
And Nicko - yep already scouted out a few old favourites like Yaya Sanogo and Vaclav Kadlec, will be looking to bring young Yaya to Elland Road again this time around I think.
Still going with the demo here, so far i've played 9 (7 league games, 2 cup games) and only lost once (Reading away).
Currently sit in 3rd with 14 points (scored 12 and conceded 8). Played 7, won 4, drawn 2 and lost one however the two draws and the defeat have come in the last 3 games. Beccio came back in for one game, scored a belter and then got injured, out for 3 weeks, Keogh is top scorer with 6 goals in 8 games (only 2 have come in the league though). The keepers have struggled with silly mistakes in the last couple of games which doesn't help so that will be an area i'll address in the full game.
Yaya Sanogo for £2.6m.... Knowing how good he was 10 years down the line in FM11 £2.6m is probably bargain of the century! Also, i just saw Kevin De Bruyne go to Rangers for £900k so he's another i think i'll defo be looking at when i get the full game at x-mas.
Not really played FM (been hooked on FIFA 12) but i've played a few games and im currently top of the table after 4 games. I've also played and beat Walsall in the Carling Cup

plodding on with demo,not signed anybody thought i would see what i could do with the current squad and so far so good, played 12 won 8 drawn 3 lost 1. 2nd in league, lees at cb more than capable imo.but he has not played the last couple of games, trying others, he has now decieded he wants to leave.also andy keogh has 14 goals in 12 apperances as a poacher(with a few tweeks) in a 4-4-2 formation pushed m/r into a amr role snodgrass looking good there.only position that may need someone when game is out is r/back.other than that leeds do have a good squad that should do well for you in championship imo.
These are the positions I will be looking to sign
GK Lonergan not that good
DR. Backup DL. Pacey CB. Backup MCd (for when Brown goes) & another pacey striker.
Apart from that the squad doesn't look that bad
Yep pretty much my thoughts as well. Although can probably make do with Pugh/White as back up for the DL position. But with those changes I think the squad should be good enough for play offs at least.
Longer term though, not sure there's that many of the current squad that are going be up to the Premier League. At the moment I'm thinking only Snodgrass, Howson, Clayton, Pugh, White, Lees and Gimpel might be able to cut it, so will need to be a lot of rebuilding to be ready for the Premier League even if not many changes are needed to get there.
I think that is a fair enough assessment Elland.
In my opinion:
Neither of the GK's are good enough.
Or the DL's. Pugh and White are good squad players.
O'Brien is the best DC and is good enough for squad back up with Lees.
The DR is really poor.
We haven't really got a quality AML.
We have good options up front but lack a "gun".
In terms of prospects, White & Lees are pretty decent and I suspect that Gimpel may be overrated. Other than these three the reserves/youth team lacks potential quality and the three prospects in the youth team are most likely not real players.
Overall, and as Coen says, the side is probably good enough for a play off challenge. There is a great challenge to push up the quality of the side in advance of the Prem and this is made more difficult with the increased HG requirements and the 5 subs rule; looking forward to the full game!
Am using White as backup AML with the Arsenal player on loan.
Forsell & Keogh upfront. (Deep Lying Forward & Advanced Forward
As far as DC's are concerned O'Brien will be backup with a strong DC & Covering DC needed.
A few decent backup "squad players" & I think that might be it
Actually i don't think Gimpel is over-rated... Liverpool and Chelsea were in for him before we snatched him up so he's defo got something about him. But he is very very short for a DC, on my game he is only 5ft 9in but i think i saw a height bug mentioned.
One other thought - Keogh seems to be performing really well on the demo, he was my top scorer and it looks like others and finding the same. Only trouble is we've only got him until January. The option is there to sign him permanently for £500k, but I'm not convinced that's the best use of available funds in the first season so will need to look at other options for a new striker from January onwards.
I'll be pulling out all the stops to sign Yaya Sanogo when the January window opens I reckon!
No chance of signing Keogh IRL then..
Think Sanogo will still be available in January?
Will have to see when the full game comes out. I seem to remember in previous years that quite a lot can change between the demo and the full game, even for players that are on the demo they might end up being much more expensive or not available on the full game.
Oh what i meant is if you start a new game and wait until January you may miss out with him going in the summer.
Actually I just reloaded a demo game from when I was still in August and was able to sign Sanogo before the end of the summer transfer window, he seems to be injured at the start of the game so it just depends on whether he will recover enough to pass a medical before the transfer window closes I guess, which is probably slightly random. They wanted £3.5m for him though.

My team on the demo is :

DC O'Brien
DC Andrew Davies (loan)
DMC Frimpong (loan)
MC Howson
MC Jordi Gomez (loan)
AMR Snodgrass
AML Miyachi (loan)
ST Sanogo (3M)
Nice but how did you raise the £3m for Sanogo? Who did you sell and what kind of deal was it, installments, straight cash, incentives?

Team: Leeds
i'm really struggling with Leeds on this FM (I think im the only 1 that's struggling). Does anyone have a decent tactic that I could possibly try?
Not at home so cant give you precise details but as I recall Bruce, Nunez, Kisnorbo were all wanted by clubs at the start. Offered them out at 4x their value and got offers of between 2 and 3 times their value - altho some over 24 months. Also managed to sell Clayton for 1M to QPR and Connoly for 300,000. Sanogo was all over 48 months BUT with a bit more careful planning you could split this between up front and 48 months and remain within budget, after the sales.
Try a 4-2-3-1 formation with box to box midfielders in the centre, defensive wingers on either flank, the AMC set in attack and a striker set as a target man (support). Works for me, but you will need to tweak certain things which i can't remember off the top of my head. The one i can remember is setting the mentality for the MC's to be a bit more on the defensive side as you can get caught on the break when they both decide to push up.
Cool. Sadly i doubt i'll be letting Clayton, Nunez, Bruce, Connolly or Kisnorbo go. Bromby, Sam, Paynter and Somma when he's fit will be the only ones i ship i reckon.
Can I ask why Matt? The players I brought into replace them are all of a higher standard. Forgot I sold Paynter too. Desperately needed a class forward and you dont get offered any decent money for Bromby or Sam and Somma is injured so cant be sold.
Keogh is amazing, he's now my first choice striker and my top scorer... keeping Forssell out of the team
Because i really like Clayton and Nunez and from what i've seen so far Bruce ain't too bad and Connolly is so far keeping Parnaby out of my side which is sat in 3rd. Besides i like to build with what i have, in FM11 i didn't get rid of Beccio until i'd won 2 F.A. Cups and a Premier League title with him as a first team regular, Snodgrass left after the 2017/18 season with 4 Premier League titles, 3 Champions League titles and 3 F.A. Cups to his name and Howson is still my first choice MC in the 2018/19 season.
Same here, he'll bottle his fair share of chances but with the amount of chances the team tends to create he could easily get himself 20-25 goals in all competitons in the first season.
I'll probably look to sell Nunez, Bruce, Bromby, Kisnorbo and Paynter to start with - Nunez because he can only really play at AMC and I don't think I'll be using a formation that utilises an AMC (otherwise I'd keep him), the 3 defenders because we have other better defenders and Bruce and Kisnorbo are wanted by other clubs, and Paynter because he's rubbish.
Clayton aint going anywhere though!
I'm also not particularly keen on using loan players in the Championship as I'd rather try to buy young players and start developing them as soon as possible, so I probably won't be using any loans.

Today I spent about 5 hours at a monastery in the Cincinnati area. I scheduled this time to be away, study, read, write and meditate, all things that I seldom have time for in the regular schedule of my week. I arrived this morning about 8:30 a.m. and was promptly greeted by one of the sisters who showed me to my quarters for the day. I was immediately taken back by the size of the space I was given to use. I was expecting a small room, from the pictures I had seen on the internet, something slightly larger than a bathroom. What I received instead was in essence, a small apartment, complete with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, living room, t.v., all the essentials of a home. After showing me around and explaining a few basics, the sister let herself out and I was left in the silence with nothing more than the raindrops clattering on the windows.
Finding myself in a new space, I worried that I would struggle to focus. My day was supposed to be centered on reading, writing and prayer and I became nervous that I would spend a bulk of my time anxiously checking out my surroundings. As I scoped out the remaining doors and rooms that she had not opened I was struck by something more than just the size of the room. Although large in square footage, this space was extremely simple. A simple desk, simple love seat, simple table, simple kitchen, simple bathroom, simple hallway, simple t.v., simple everything.
As my day progressed it was as if God was simply reminding me that simplicity is all I need. Sometimes I, and maybe even you can spend so much of our lives pursuing the not so simple. We strive to have the latest and greatest, we pride ourselves on the detail and the connectedness of all of our devices, we love having over 1000 television channels but interestingly only watch about 10 of them. We long for vehicles that are somehow capable of doing more than simply transporting us from point A to point B. We work extra hours to afford houses that we don't have time to enjoy.
God calls each of us to a different lifestyle but what God has been revealing to me is that less is more. Don't get me wrong, I love my devices and I love my television but today was simply a reminder that I don't need any of that. Take it all away and I'm still here. My family is still here. Most importantly, God is still with me.
Great insights and just want you to know I am so proud of you and the man of God you are becoming!
