Has standard of test cricket declined in past decade?
by It Must Be Love on Sun 06 Aug 2017, 3:53 am
I feel the standard of international test cricket has declined in the past decades... we were lucky to have so many greats but the new generations across many different countries for me have not lived up to their predecessors.
I will do a team comparison for the potential teams if fully fit in 2010 vs 2017, player for player
Jaffer
Sehwag
Dravid
Ganguly
Agarkar
Kumble
Harbajan 2010
Gambhir
Harbajan
Zaheer
Pujara
Rahane
Kallis
Ntini 2010
Morkel
Tsotsobe
Bavuma
De Kock
De Bruyn
Maharaj
Ponting
Katich
McGrath 2010
Haddin
Siddle
Hilfenhaus
Handscomb
Hazlewood
Trescothick
Flintoff
G. Jones
Harmison
Hoggard
S. Jones 2010
Trott
Pietersen
Tremlett
Malan
Bairstow
R Jones
Some analysis:
England batting line up almost certainly better in 2010, top order a real mess now. 2 all rounders though now, so perhaps more strength in depth lower down the order. Bowling wise, I'd say Anderson and Broad were marginally better in 2010 than now, and Swann is better spinner than Ali. Overall 2010 team cruises.
South Africa there's nothing to say really, they had a team of greats in 2010. Included Steyn in current team as he would get in if fully fit, but facing lots of injury problems and he has declined. Obviously the 2010 team is better, but the 2017 team is still fun to watch especially Bavuma.
Australia's bowling and batting were better in 2010, although by 2010 Ponting at number 3 had declined and Smith was not even close to where he is now.
India had overall better team in 2010, apart from spin bowlers as Ashwin and Jadeja have really taken off. Neither Yadav or Shami are yet at the level of Zaheer, but they're both probably better than Sreesanth and Sharma. Batting line up better in 2010, although current team is still very strong in that department.
Overall the big 4 I feel were significantly better in 2010. My analysis may be biased but the fact many of the current players are new to the team so we don't see them as household names and once they've proven themselves maybe we'd look back at these 2017 XIs differently. But at this stage even taking that into account, I'd stick to my conclusion.

On paper yes the teams aren't as strong but there are reasons for that. Every team in 2010 has underwent necessary changes as legends of that era retired. Legends take a long time to be replaced. Also I would say as a result of the number of retirees teams are going through a transitional phase as they try out different players and look to bed them into the side. Also in the 2010 sides sure there were legends but for some (by that time) form may not have been as great as their status.
That is my opinion but a very interesting topic.

Just out of curiosity why did you choose 2010 for the comparison? For me the quality of the side is a cyclic process. So depending on when you choose to make the comparison affects the conclusions of said comparison. For example comparing England now to the 99 vintage one could argue that the test team has improved. However, it is very interesting to note that arguably every team was stronger in 2010 compared to now. One would expect that some times would be stronger and some would be weaker. Hence maybe you have a point about there being a general decline....could it be linked to the increase in 20 20 cricket?

Going solely on the England side then the batting line-up was stronger but I'd say the bowling attack is stronger now. Give me Stokes as an all-rounder over Collingwood and although Swann was a specialist spinner unlike Ali in recent times Ali has become more prolific wicket-taker and is a far better batsman. Also in the 2010 side Trott, Bell and Pietersen were to hit skid row either form-wise or in other ways for Pietersen.

I thought this was about changing skill sets. There seems to be more money in new forms of the game - the one day game and 20 - 20 cricket, so skill sets are being developed for those forms of the game, at the expense of the more patient form of the game (five day game). In the West Indies cricket has become less popular as West Indian culture has become more influenced by the US and US sports.

The bowling line up in 2010 was far far better; Swann is so far ahead of Ali as a spinner that's it non really a comparison.
LionsV2
Far far better? That is stretching it a bit given that the two main bowlers are still in place (Anderson and Broad). Okay Swann was better than Ali but on the other side of the coin Stokes is a better all-rounder than Collingwood to level things up. Tremlett V Roland-Jones is a tough comparison given that TRJ is just breaking into the side.
by JDizzle on Sun 06 Aug 2017, 10:00 am
Stuart Broad averaged nearly 38 with the ball in 2010. He wasn't particularly special then. He's come on leaps and bounds.

Yes I was going to say both Broad and Anderson have got better with age and experience.

I was just thinking of when we had very strong test teams, and chose 2010 at random more or less.
England is an interesting comparison, we do still have Anderson and Broad around who have gained more experience, but Swann as a bowler was a different level to Ali. But the top order is just such a concern, I feel at times they are so reliant on Root.
And very good point on whether it could be linked to an increase in 2020 cricket. Could be that the next generation aren't learning to accumulate runs in a patient and tactically flexible manner as is needed in test due to the influence of 2020, and thus we aren't having as many test cricket greats emerge.

As someone who loves test cricket, I think your point is sad but true.
I think it becomes especially obvious when teams play away from home in conditions which aren't favourable. As I said in my post above, instead of being able to whether out the storm, batsman just go for it and get out.
Another thing I have noticed is that for limited overs cricket, the pitch is very batting friendly, so we can get more sixes which viewers lap up. Often means there is nothing for the bowlers and batsman aren't tested; I mean Bangladesh got 305/6 in 50 overs in the Champions Trophy this year and frankly if it was a test series against England with normal conditions Bangladesh would struggle to cross 300 all series.

Added 2005 teams as well now.
England, South Africa and India didn't change that much from 2005 to 2010, looks strong all around.
by alfie on Mon 07 Aug 2017, 3:01 pm
Another issue is surely that teams develop - and decline eventually. So in 2005 , that particular England team was at its peak. The current one is still early in its cycle.
Interesting thread though. Might look again when this Test Match is over.
by guildfordbat on Mon 07 Aug 2017, 5:36 pm
Yep, an interesting thread for sure. For a geriatric like me though, a decade isn't long enough to properly detect and chart any possible decline in standards of Test cricket.
One aspect - or at least, a perception (I haven't done any research) - I would flag is that less Tests these days end as draws. Whilst I'm sure many viewers and particularly the tv companies prefer a 'positive result', there's sometimes still much to be said for seeing a side under the cosh hold out for a draw. Not sure how far you, It Must Be Love, go back but I'm especially thinking of Atherton & Russell performing their own version of Rorke's Drift against South Africa.
So often now* (again it may just be a perception) it seems that a couple of wickets lead to 3 or 4 and then it's all over in a flash. Think VTR said similar during the third Test when even a self-admitted pessimist like him saw no way that South Africa would wriggle off the hook! Suspect the proliferation of t20 - the shots and the general approach - has something to do with this together with the DRS system resulting in more dismissals.
* Written before the current Test ended in 4 days!

Yes, I did say that in the last Test. And we saw similar today, what was that collapse in the end 7-30 or something? Pretty tame after Amla and Du Plessis had put a bit of pressure on England. If South Africa had grafted another 50 run partnership they could have put some pressure back on and at least got to day 5

Good point, interesting to also observe where these various teams are in their cycle. What stood out for me though is that all the top 4 teams are worse now than in 2005 or 2010; maybe it's just luck as to when many superstars will be around at the same time, or perhaps it's connected to the rise of 20-20.
Just looking at where the various teams are in their cycles:
England have Anderson at 35, but rest of team are all around prime of their careers. 3 of the top 5 batsman though have very concerning question marks over them and could get replaced (unprecedented in recent history for England?), so they're pretty lucky they have a genius like Root and 2 classy all-rounders.
India have most of their players pretty much at the prime of their career, and they've proven they're as good as ever at home. They have South Africa away, England away, and then Australia away all in the next 1 and a half years. This is where they'll be judged.
Australia seem to be fluctuating more than most. They were doing poorly before 2013, then Lehman took over and turned it around for a while. Last winter when South Africa were touring they were 2-0 down in the series, then made dramatic radical wholesale changes, and have been very good since then. So they've 'restarted' their cycle, still too inconsistent and too reliant on Smith.
South Africa have a real mix of experience and youthful players, they will be fun to watch and follow for the next few years. But let's be honest, it's going to be tough to match the mouth watering line up they had in 2010.

Yeah, I think you raise some valid points. Unfortunately I wasn't around to watch Atherton and Russell batting, but even in the last 10 years I have noticed there have been less draws.
Few points on this actually:
1/ The proliferation of t20 and batsman losing the art of accumulation and defensive batting, as you pointed out, I do think plays a part in less draws. Innings finish quicker, and even when this new generation of batsmen are required to, they can't grind out a draw.
2/ I also feel that this has meant we've had away teams struggling more. It seems to me batsman can't cope in alien conditions because they don't focus on defence as much. I haven't looked up the stats, but I suspect that compared to 2000-2010, 2011-2017 has had more very one sided series for the home team when teams outside the subcontinent visit the subcontinent and vice versa.
3/ I also have a feeling that individual test matches are becoming more one sided. Even when we have close series results like Ashes 2015 (Eng 3-2) and Aus-SA 2016 (SA 2-1), the individual matches themselves are rarely close. Like when one team get on top, the other team seems to just fold without resistance. Maybe nostalgia makes me biased, but I think back to Ashes 2005 where both of England's test wins were nail biters. Or India Aus 2010 in India, where India had 2 very close matches to win 2-0.
by dummy_half on Wed 09 Aug 2017, 9:53 am
I'm not so convinced that it's wholly the influence of T20 / ODI cricket on batting techniques that has led to the change. Really, the great Aussie team of the late 90s set the template of looking to score close to 400 in a day so there is greater opportunity to win the match - obviously they had such a strong batting line-up that they rarely collapsed and so won a high proportion of games. Trying to do the same with a less consistent line-up (e.g. England's current team) will lead to a few bad losses when it doesn't come off.
I'd also add in that teams don't generally play as many pre-Test tour matches, so get little opportunity to adjust to foreign conditions before being thrown into important matches.
I also wonder if the current playing conditions / pitch conditions are more extreme than in the past - English conditions with a ball that seams and swings effectively compared with very slow crumbly turning wickets in the sub-continent.

Possibly in the last decadse, certainly a number of teams have dcleined. But if you look back 20-30 years the standard of players all round games has improved enormously.
Whilst old scholl test batting may be a dieing art fielding, tactics and lower order batting has improved beyond recognition. As have fitness levels (Philander excused) and inujry management.
Its almost a different sport now. The impact of well paid professional coaches and across all teams shows.
Another thing Ive found interesting is that although we reguallry here that there arent any good spinners any more the bowling and all rounder rankings are dominated by spinners.
When you look at the struggles batsmen have stepping up form County cricket into tests, depsite excellent records and recent form, you have to question teh assertion that bowling isnt what it used to be and that those who are established players are just one day bashers made good. The difference between the likes of Kholi Root and Smith and a batsman like Hales (one of the best T20 players) is startling. The top test batsmen are clearly doing something special.
Whilst the Windies have continued their decline, and Sri Lanka joined them in freefall, New Zealand have got their acts together a bit as have Pakistan and Bangaldesh are finally starting to look like they are worthy of test status.
DRS has helped take the umpires out of the equation a bit, and trail by media reduced the worst excesess of bias/corruption/incompetance for the betterment of the game.
Theres a lot of rose tinted thinking about the pre 90s from the old boy commentators, especially in regard to just how fast fast bowlers used to be. No question that picthes and bats have made the game easier in one sense...yet fielding improvements, less padding away from spinners thanks to DRS and less pie chucking fill ins bowling full days have meant that for the most part scoring hasnt got out of control.
Elements of truth in the assertions that limited overs has affected the way people bat, but its not all negative and a reduction in skill. The likes of Hayden and Gilchrist changed test batting before the T20 revolution by proving that success was possible through aggression. As to some extent had the Windies of the 70s/80s.
Guys like Warner are a continuation of this. The purists sniff at it and whinge sue but that doesnt make them right.
The biggest issue for me is the mental fortitude of touring teams, or lack of. Far too many one sided home series victories.
If / when the new test champs format finally comes about we may see an improvement in this.

I tend to think that Greenidge was the archetypal one day player whilst Botham could whack it around a bit too.
I do think that the limited overs stuff has had an effect on test cricket, just have to look at the dip in form Cook had whilst playing the 50 over crud and his resurgence after stopping. It's a bit different for the likes of Root, Kohli and Williamson who are just busy players capable of the big shots as opposed to Hales.

In terms of draws...certainly in this country ...games were much more susceptable to weather. It was rare to not get a game wiped out entirely by rain when I was a kid. Improvements in covers, forcasting and drainage have had a huge impact there.
Improvemenst in bowling depth have also had an impact on grinding out draws. It used to be the case that teams would often only have 3 real test quality bowlers, a foruthe rpretnding to be one, and a couple of chaps who insted on turning their arms with part time fodder. Now most sides are coming in with 5 proper bowling options, this being an impact of the T20 revolution leading to far more all rounders or bowlers who can bat pretty well (plus keepers battinmg improving) enabling more depth to the bowling ...less flogging of the two good seamer. I alsways find it interesting that Bayliss talks about england having 8 batsmen, as I see it they have 5 plus a keeper and two all rounders.
Gone are the days when Hick would bowl 69 overs in an innings (yes it happened)
There is certainly truth in the increased agression and loss of defensive techniques and mindsets of batsmen, as well as a reduction in mental fortitude and wwillingness to hold one. But its not the whole picture.
Is it? The core of this team has been much the same for 3 or 4 years now. The problems with no proper fast bowler, no proper spinner, and top 3 batsmen have been current for ages. They have gradually turned Bairstow into a proper keeper though.
Root, Cook, Stokes, Moeen, Bairstow, Broad, Anderson ...they've been set in the side for an extended period, granted theres been a captaincy change but not a dramatic one. The supporting cast isnt mature but the basic spine and set up hasnt changed. Frankly it doesnt look like they will have frimaly sorted the issues by the time Anderson retires, and Broad wont be long after him. Id say this 12 months could well be their peak before the retirements hit and the side restructures again (pushing 33 its hard to know how long Cook will keep going...maybe only another year).
Its possible that in two years only 3 of the side that played in this series will still be in test team (or less if they get injured/lose it).
by alfie on Wed 09 Aug 2017, 11:25 am
Surely only Anderson is anywhere close to retirement ? And even he looks anything but finished on the evidence of the last couple of games.
True a few of these have been together a while now : but apart from the two quicks and Cook , Root is the only player who has been a constant for more than two or three years. OK , perhaps "early" in the cycle was an overstatement...more mid-rise , shall we say ? The missing parts are indeed still missing , though I would suggest if the batting parts were fixed we would have no real problem with the bowling attack. You can always get a better one : but the current five man group (with maybe a Wood or a Woakes on a day) is perfectly adequate for Tests anywhere with the exception of India and UAE - and I don't see any other non-Asian team recently that could claim otherwise !
Still think there is time for this group to hit a significant high - as long as a couple of batsmen can be added to the mix.

Moeens been constant in the side since 2014
Bairstows played in pretty much every test since 2012 except a patch in 2014
This is Stokes' third summer in a row in the team and he played sporadically prior to that for a year a half.
So really theres 6 players who meet that 3 year criteria.
Woakes, when fit, is becoming established in sides where they dont want additional spinners.
Of those 4 are the wrong side of 30. Its pretty rare for England players to go past 34 now...Strauss the oldest at 35.
Anderson and Broad are both definately pushing it for the next two years. Cook looks young and still seems to have his eye, and relived of the captaincy could keep going if the desires there....but equally I wouldnt see it as a great shock if he retired in the next couple of years, there was talk of him doing it after India rather than just leaving the capatincy. As it stands they certainly wont want him to mind.
Moeen youd expect as a late comer and a player still developing to keep going a while longer.
Bairstow and Stokes (and Woakes) are reaching their prime ages.
Overall Id say this current side is pretty good on its age profile and hitting its peak years.
The 2005 Ashes team had a similar mix. Pietersen was a new cap; Strauss G Jones and Bell had only recently joined the side (2004). Simon Jones had been dropped over the winter, Collingwood was in effect a new face having played a couple of games years before.
Perhaps a bit more settled than the current squad but not a great deal, and the same experienced core and similar age profile.
It did collpase pretty quickly after though, several early retirements and dramatic losses of form as well as the expected natural ones.

Anger is a strong emotion. A balanced approach to effectively handling anger allows you to have emotional integrity and stay healthy.
Did you know that the stress response associated with extreme anger increases your risk for heart attack and stroke? And this increased risk persists for 2-3 hours after an anger outbursts and persists for up to 12 hours!
Anger like heat and can be measured in degrees–from mild irritation to extreme rage and fury. Anger can be good. Don't immediately feel guilty about the feeling. Instead, understand what the meaning of anger means for you in a particular situation. Anger is a signal that something is wrong. It's like the warning light on the dashboard of your car. The light is a signal to stop, analyze what's wrong and take the appropriate action. Your signal or warning light is unique to you.
Here are some signals; tense muscles, increased perspiration, do you shut down verbally, loud rapid speech, clinched fists, upset or churning stomach, heart racing, dry mouth, or language that's inappropriate or harsh. The point is know your signal.
Hostility and unforgiving heart, resentment, or even deep-seated bitterness can result from unanalyzed anger. This can lead to negative health consequences of chronic stress. Relationship issues are a top cause of these problems. The most common sources of anger in relationships are; hurt, the feeling of injustice, fear or frustration. And then there is repressed anger due to fear of even facing or dealing with negative emotions. This is a good time of year to dig deep, uncover and honestly confront and resolve angry feelings.
Here is a simple balanced way to dealing with anger. There are 4P's to this approach.
Pause: When your unique signal appears you must pause. Do not react. Take a deep breath. Be aware and mindful of the feeling. Admit and acknowledge that you are angry. If you are feeling extreme anger, just say 'Can you give me a minute?' Politely & quickly excuse yourself physically from the situation. Help yourself to a walk around the block, plug in your earphones and listen to a special calming playlist.
Ponder: Analyze. Ask yourself what is the source or trigger of your anger? Do you feel hurt? Do you perceived and injustice has occurred against you or others especially those you love? Are you fearful? Perhaps fearful of change that may threaten your future? Are you frustrated over unmet expectations of your own or of others? This may include examining your core beliefs and motivation in a particular situation. Admit your needs.
Proceed: Address your anger. You are now in control and can act rather than react. Determine if your anger is really justified. Decide on an appropriate response. Know what you must accomplish in the situation. In the workplace, my clients often experience anger because of increasing demands with decreasing resources. Sometimes you need to reach out and ask for support. If you have the time anticipate possible reactions from the other person and think through how you might respond to these reactions. Decide if you're willing to live with any negative repercussions.
Positivity: Transform anger into positivity. If you have addressed the first 3 P's you can expect a positive response from the individual or situation. Express your desire for positive mutually beneficial results. You may have to agree to disagree. This will free your heart and mind and reduce your health risk. It's worth the conversation. Generate positive emotions daily. Just allow yourself to feel joy and happiness.


Festival Chorale Oregon invites you to our performance of Mozart's Great Mass in C minor on Sunday, April 28 at 4 pm at The Elsinore in downtown Salem. Solveig Holmquist, Founding Artistic Director, conducts the 100-voice chorale, joined by Amy Hansen, soprano; Olga Valdez, alto; Les Green, tenor; Ryan LeGrand, baritone; and a symphonic orchestra.
This may be the greatest of all Mozart's works, not only his finest sacred piece. It is rarely performed outside of Europe. Much of the choral sections are massive in scope, at times calling for double choir, and the brilliant complexity challenges the performers while inspiring the audience.
The Great Mass was composed in 1782 and was the last of many masses composed by Mozart starting when he was 10 years old. The work fulfilled a promise he made to write a mass that would be performed in Salzburg when he he would bring his wife, Constanze, to Salzburg to meet his family for the first time after his father's earlier opposition. Constanze sang the "Et incarnatus est" at its premiere in Salzburg.


Pacific Beach is physically very similar to the nearby Ocean Beach, but with less tideline debris. The sand is light tan and soft and the water is a deep, clear blue.
Along with all the things to do at the beach, there is a lot of activity along the paved oceanfront walkway. You can walk, run, bike, rollerblade and skateboard here, which is a rarity on most pedestrian paths.
The most unique thing about Pacific Beach is the historic Crystal Pier Hotel. The hotel is a collection of cottages directly on Crystal Pier, and if you are staying there you can drive onto the pier and park right outside your own little cottage. The location can't be beat and the novelty factor is high too.
Food – Yes, within walking distance of the beach.
Dogs allowed on the beach – Yes. Dogs are allowed on the beach 4 PM to 9 AM from November 1 to March 31. From April 1 to October 31, they are allowed on the beach from 6 PM to 9 AM.
Additional amenities – drinking fountains, paved path, benches, grassy park, pier, and handicap accessible beach.
Crystal Pier Bait and Tackle on Crystal Pier rents poles and everything else you need to fish off the pier.
Boogie boards, surfboards, wetsuits, bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent at various stands along the oceanfront path.
Pacific Beach is located at Grand Avenue and Ocean Boulevard in San Diego, California, 92109.

Our operable wall system was constructed from toughened SwitchGlass™ privacy glass panels within fully-framed double glazed units.
Reduced Voltage: Switchable privacy glass operable walls of this size and reach require a special, reduced voltage for operation in order to comply with the Australian/New Zealand Standard for Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000:2007). For this we supplied a series of adaptors (step-down transformers) with an output of 36V AC and 1500mA.
Acoustic Resistance: The SwitchGlass™ panels were incorporated into double glazed units of 100mm thickness with the switchable privacy glass on one side and clear glass on the other. These robust panels afford excellent sound resistance and a very high acoustic rating. This is the first acoustically resistant SwitchGlass™ operable glass wall system built in Australia.
SwitchGlass™ Hinge System: A magnetic, proprietary Switchglass connecting hinge system was used. This system is designed specifically for either stackable or sliding electric operable walls. It enables an uninterrupted flow of electricity when the doors meet on closing, but disconnects the current when the panels are moved apart.
Incorporate Acoustic SwitchGlass™ into your design plans to create unique and innovative experiences.

The A to Z of Alphabet Origins and the Most Ancient Written Languages
Sunday, April 9, 2017 18:09
Writing is traditionally regarded as one of the requirements for a society to be considered as a civilization. Various writing systems have been invented by the great civilizations of the world, one of which is known as alphabetic writing. This type of writing is characterised by a standard set of letters, each of which represent a basic significant sound (known as a phoneme) of the spoken language. Examples of alphabetic writing systems include the Latin alphabet, the Arabic alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet.
Before the Alphabet
As the alphabet plays such an important role in our world today, one might expect that this writing system has existed since the dawn of civilization. This, however, is not the case. To illustrate this point, in Mesopotamia, which is considered to be the oldest civilization in the world, a writing system known as the cuneiform script was invented by the Sumerians towards the end of the 4th millennium BC. By comparison, the history of the alphabet can only be traced to the 2nd millennium B.C., which places it around a millennium after the invention of the cuneiform script.

The cold, wet weather ate away at my enthusiasm. Walking along our dirt roads, which melted into slick highways of dark mud, my mind reached out towards the domestication around us. I couldn't help but listen to the voice that wants nothing more than to go inside, to have hot tea and dry socks. Maybe there is something to be said about living life on the valley floor, to enjoy the view of spring snow on the mountain through your window, feet still by the fireside.
After some time I get used to having my boots completely encased in their own boot of mud, to patter of rain on my jacket, to the seeping of numbness in my fingers. These sensations quiet my mind. We can survive this endless drizzle easily-enough, it is what we do. For some reason, all of us have felt that calling that continues to beckon us towards the mountains.

I'm really excited for this game after having played crime and punishments. The cases were well put together in the previous game and I can't wait to see how everything has been improved. Heck, I just want a bigger game, because the last formula was pretty good in itself.

Responding to COVID-19 outbreak, Gov. Brown bans large gatherings
The OSAA says the state basketball playoffs will go on, but without spectators.
In Oregon's most dramatic response yet to the spread of the novel coronavirus, Gov. Kate Brown announced Wednesday night, March 11, that gatherings of more than 250 people will be canceled for at least four weeks.
The sweeping action comes hours after Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced a similar ban on large gatherings in the Seattle area. Unlike Inslee's decree, Brown's order covers the entire state.
"A gathering is defined as any event in a space in which appropriate social distancing of a minimum of three feet cannot be maintained," a statement from the governor's office added.
On Sunday, March 8, the Oregon Health Authority said it was issuing guidance to schools, colleges and universities to avoid canceling classes over cases of COVID-19, the viral illness caused by the novel coronavirus, if possible.
Brown's orders, as outlined Wednesday night, don't roll back that guidance, but they do direct schools to cancel "non-essential school-associated gatherings and group activities," including competitions.
Oregon is currently in the midst of high school basketball playoffs.
The Oregon School Activities Association announced Wednesday night that games will continue to be played, but only "essential personnel" and media will be allowed to attend. Spectators will not be allowed in the stands.
"This difficult decision has not been made lightly," said Peter Weber, OSAA executive director. "Going into this week, we knew the situation was rapidly evolving, and as the circumstances and guidance have changed throughout today, our focus is on trying to honor the commitment students have made throughout the season by continuing the contests, albeit without spectators."
Late Wednesday, the Parkrose School District canceled parent-teacher conferences on Thursday and Friday. Earlier that evening, St. Mary's Academy in downtown Portland announced a shift to online classes only, at least temporarily.
Read the March 11, 2020, statement from the OSAA on limiting attendance at basketball playoff games.
Earlier Wednesday, both the University of Oregon and Oregon State University announced they will shift most classes online and cancel large gatherings due to concerns over the novel coronavirus.
Brown will provide more details on the actions she is taking in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19, which has more than 1,000 diagnosed cases in the United States and more than 20 in Oregon as of Wednesday night. Public health experts say those numbers are almost certainly low, a factor of limited testing for the viral illness first diagnosed in humans late last year.
The governor also is advising employers to use "distancing measures," such as limiting in-person meetings, staggering shifts and providing more physical space between workers sharing the same workspace.
"Nobody is immune to this virus, it can touch everyone," Brown said in a statement released late Wednesday. "We can't let fear and anxiety stigmatize people. We are seeing cases across multiple counties and age groups, and in people exposed through different circumstances. It's time for us all to do what we can to slow its spread and take care of one another."
The governor's office suggested more cases in Oregon are expected to be confirmed.
"As the number of positive cases increases across Oregon, public health resources will be directed toward implementing the guidelines and policies in this statewide mitigation plan, and reducing focus on aggressive contact follow-up on each individual positive case," the governor's office stated Wednesday night.
On Monday, March 9, the legislative emergency board committed $5 million toward state efforts to combat COVID-19. That move came a day after Brown signed an order declaring an emergency over the viral outbreak, which the World Health Organization described Wednesday as a pandemic.
Brown will speak at a press conference at 9 a.m. at the Portland State Office Building in Northeast Portland. She will be joined by Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen, Multnomah County Chair Deborah Kafoury, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, and other state and local officials, including public health officers.

Now, more so than ever during this pandemic, we are able to connect to people and places in a more direct way through digital media. This past summer, Humber Galleries connected with artists who were somehow related to the college-either as former exhibiting artists or as artists with work in the corporate collection. They invited viewers into their studio spaces and discussed such important and timely questions as how they have adapted their practice to the new "Covid-era", as well as how they remain connected to the art community while in isolation.

Anya Mielniczek is a Toronto based Polish-Canadian artist who grew up between the city in Canada and the country sides of Poland. As a mixed-media artist, her work explores combinations of both fine art and street dirt mediums.
Mielniczek takes easily discarded materials such as plastic bags and candy wrappers adding value to what otherwise is considered trash, while drawing attention to our consumeristic tendencies and the implications this has on our environment. Inspired by waste, moody images and the treatment of our natural resources her pieces are emotionally charged, experimental and responsive to the time and place she's creating in. The artist's work is both figurative and representational, compiled of layers, textures, and the energy felt in unaltered lines. Decidedly playing between a real and fantastical aesthetic forming a greater narrative pertinent to environmental change –informing herself as well as viewers, of the obstacles our finite world faces in light of our hyper consumption.
Having graduated from Queen's University in 2012 with a BFAH, Mielniczek completed a year long fellowship with The Living Arts Centre in Mississauga in 2014 and most recently was an artist in residence for a 9 week duration at INSTINC Studios in Singapore, 2016. Earlier this year, the artist was commissioned to create an artwork at Humber College, called Humberthropocene.

One of her main goals in photography is to be able to tell stories with the images she captures, whether in landscape photography, portraiture, or food photography. Krystal is a firm believer that images should speak for themselves, and should evoke emotion and thought in the viewers mind. Krystal fell in love with food photography whilst a student at Humber and continues to work on various bodies of work in the hopes of one day showing her work in a solo exhibition.

Liveable Income Guarantee : Working Paper
John Quiggin, Elise Klein, Tim Dunlop, Troy Henderson, Jane Goodall
The current COVID-19 crisis has revealed an urgent need for a sustained approach to employment and income support policy. In addressing this, we propose a Liveable Income Guarantee (LIG). The LIG is closely linked to the idea of a participation income and starts from the principle that everyone has a right to a liveable income, to a minimum level of financial security, and an opportunity to contribute to society. The paper examines possible eligibility requirements of a LIG, suggestions of additional payments to complement the payment, as well as an outline of budgetary costs and how financing could work. We argue that the implementation of a LIG would allow Australia to be better prepared in the event of future disruptions, such as the pandemic currently affecting the global economy and societies more broadly. Beyond that, the LIG provides the support that allows us to aspire to be a society where everyone has an income sufficient to live a comfortable and dignified life.

Peeking into Jakarta's Spiritual Heart | Where's Wiwi?
I'm going to be honest, Jakarta really wasn't on my Bucket List, but when faced with a work conference with limited free time, I was determined not to go all that way and come back without any glimpses into the culture of our closest Asian neighbour.
but I wanted to see something that would be close to the hearts of the locals and with that in mind, I set the alarm early and took myself and a few other colleagues off to the world's 5th largest mosque, and the largest in South East Asia – Istiqlal Mosque.
The word istiqlal in Arabic means "independence" and the mosque is certainly a tribute to Indonesia's independence from the Netherlands. It took 17 years to build , but I'm sure the locals feel it was worth the wait. The guide (compulsory for visitors) who showed us around the mosque was certainly proud of it's heritage.
We visited between prayer times so there were only a few devotees in the main prayer hall, however that didn't detract from appreciating the incredible scale of the dome – 45 metres in diameter as a tribute to their independence in 1945.
I could only imagine what it must be like full of worshippers – a mind boggling 120,000 can fit, not only on the floor of the hall, but in the 4 tiered balconies that ring the hall. It was cool, calm and peaceful when we visited, despite the heat outside, and our guide assured us that even full, the temperature remained comfortable.
Outside in one of the courtyards is a massive drum carved from a single tree trunk with the hide of a single cow (must have been huge!), or else it was a bullock – perhaps a lost in translation moment.
Although you're not free to wander at will, it was interesting to hear about the building from our guide with only a small donation asked in return. All in all, I was glad to have seen a glimpse into the spiritual heart of Indonesia, albeit though my western eyes.
I'm actually writing a post on places around Jakarta's focal point, including Istiqlal Mosque. I have been living in Jakarta since 2008, but yesterday was my first time ever visiting the mosque. It was such a huge mosque indeed, but the architecture somehow reminded me of buildings from Soviet era. Perhaps that's because this was built during Sukarno era. Hence its left-leaning architecture.
You're right about the architecture, it seems like a bit of a departure from what you'd usually expect from an Asian mosque. Apparently the architecture was a bit controversial at the time. Thanks for your comment!
It was but it must really be something to go to the mosques that are many times the size of this one! Thanks for your comment.

Four arrested after deadly Brazilian nightclub fire
By: andrewramospix
(CNN) — Police arrested four people Monday in connection with a nightclub fire that killed 231 people in southern Brazil, CNN affiliate BandNews reported.
Two are club owners and the other two members of the band that was performing, it said.
The detainees will be held initially for five days while authorities investigate Sunday's blaze in the Kiss nightclub in Santa Maria, according to Marcos Viana, a police official who spoke with state-run Agencia Brasil. The five-day period can be extended for five more days, the news agency said.
"We concluded that it was necessary to hold them prisoner temporarily, because we need their statements to help us clarify the incident," Viana said, according to Agencia Brasil.
Police did not identify those arrested.
"We have much work ahead to clarify what happened and identify those responsible," Viana said, according to the news agency.
Civil police in Santa Maria have questioned 20 other people, it said.
The police chief in the province of Rio Grande do Sul said the investigation is to be divided into three parts: "The first line of inquiry has to do with the documentation: if the property was fit for operation and who the owners are. Are they real, formal owners? We will review all the documentation.
"The second stage of this investigation is expert analysis, which we will apply.
"And thirdly, important in itself, is the witness testimony. So, starting today, we will focus our efforts to the maximum in order to hear those people who were at the property at the time that it caught fire, at the business establishment. I think we'll get to the bottom of this investigation and, if possible, will identify those responsible by the time we complete this police investigation."
The governor of Rio Grande do Sul promised that investigators would have all the resources they need to find out who is responsible.
"From the executive office, they will not lack a penny, a document, an action or any other support, so that we can have an inquiry with depth and with the responsibility that it deserves," Gov. Tarso Genro said.

Foster announces new social enterprise schemes
Pictured with Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster are Health Minister Edwin Poots and Daisies Café's Rory Proctor and Louise Gregg
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has announced plans by Accept Care Social Firms Ltd in Bangor to establish three new social enterprises, creating 23 new jobs in Northern Ireland's social economy sector.
Two new Daisies Cafés will be established in Belfast and Lurgan as part of this expansion, creating 11 new jobs. The 12 remaining positions will be created in a community farm project.
Daisies Café in Newtownards forms part of Accept Care's network of services, which includes helping people access training and employment opportunities. This award-winning social firm is a fully operational café, which also offers a carefully planned, supportive working environment for the proportion of its workforce with mental ill health or a learning disability.
Invest NI has been working with the company to develop a business plan for a number of new projects and is supporting the new jobs under the social economy measure of its Jobs Fund.
Commenting following a visit to Daisies Café in Newtownards where she was accompanied by Health Minister Edwin Poots, Arlene Foster said: "Social enterprises have a unique contribution to make to the Northern Ireland economy in regenerating disadvantaged communities and areas. Accept Care and Daisies Café have demonstrated the potential for growth and success within this sector.
"This expansion, supported under Invest NI's Job Fund, will help to further develop the social economy sector by promoting entrepreneurship and offering job opportunities for those most remote from the labour market."
Health Minister Edwin Poots said: "Daisies Café provides trainees with valuable training and work experience that will help people with a learning disability find employment in the workplace. Daisies Café provides young people with the opportunity to gain the skills, self belief and confidence they need to take their place in the community as equals.
"We must continue to ensure that we work together for the future so that many more people can avail of the skills and opportunities the young people here today are benefiting from."
Accept Care Social Firms Ltd is part of the Accept Care Group which offers a variety of services to help disadvantaged and disabled people enhance their lifestyle and operate more effectively in education, work and in the community.
Derek McClure, Operations Director at Accept Care Group, said: "Accept Care Social Firms is focused on creating a supportive and enabling environment for disadvantaged and disabled people and helping to create sustainable and cohesive communities throughout Northern Ireland. Our new Daisies Cafés and community farm projects will contribute to the growth of the sector and ultimately the local economy."

The Ebbtide Endorses Joe Biden for President

Joe & Jill Biden on a 2020 presidential campaign.
Ebbtide Staff
In a turbulent election cycle, characterized by juxtaposition of character more than policy, America needs to make her voice heard. One candidate offers a vision of unity, the other a vision of vaguely-defined "winning" that only truly benefits the rich and white. The choice has never been more clear.
The Ebbtide urges you to vote Joe Biden for President of the United States.
Biden is a hard working, honest man with a dedication to bringing out the best in us. He entered politics through a belief in civil rights, and is oft to remind us that's what launched his campaign this cycle. He is running as a unifier, a coalition builder, and a return to normalcy.
More than that, he's running on decency. He seeks to end the politics of name calling, interrupting and self-dealing. He's staked his run on a belief that the American people are better than our current representation in D.C., that we are able to listen to and respect one another, even when we vehemently disagree.
Maybe he's naive. Maybe we've passed that point, where we can treat each other with dignity and realize that, at the end of the day, we agree more than we disagree. Maybe Trump's America — one where right wing factions are in constant conflict with left wingers — is real.
That's what this election is about: the soul of our nation. Depending on who wins, we can show that America can be whole again, or we can continue to prove that the Divided States of Trump are here to stay.
Reading the news, it seems like a radical proposition, the possibility of unity. Politics are so bitterly divisive that speculation of a civil war is commonplace. But if anybody is up to the task, it's Biden.
You can see it after campaign events or town halls, when he stays after his speaking time, just to listen to what the audience has to say. You can see it when he gives a kid with a stutter his phone number, when he consoles grieving families. If nothing else, Biden cares about people.
Given the current occupant of the oval office, that alone would be refreshing.
But in reality, Biden is running on a progressive platform — it just doesn't look like it by comparison to his primary competitors.
Let's take an example that applies to all of us — his plan for higher education. It's a far cry from Bernie's free college for everyone, but has a similar effect. The Biden plan calls for free community college for everybody, and free public university for anybody from a family making less than $125,000 a year. He'll also forgive student debt held by anybody working in a public service profession.
Think about that, 'Phins. All the tuition you spent this quarter would still be in your bank account if Biden were president right now. Maybe it's not as bold as Bernie's proposal, or Warren's, but it's a lot more than what we have right now.
We have reason to believe this issue is one that rings personal for him: his wife, Jill Biden, is a professor at a two year college in his home state of Delaware, and was the first second lady (quite a mouthful!) to keep her job while in office.
Jobs and Healthcare
Biden has been a longtime supporter of unions, something that hits home for many of us. As president, his plan calls for "strengthening worker organizing, collective bargaining, and unions."
His climate plan uses the framework of the Green New Deal popularized by progressive in the Democratic Party, albeit with a lower price tag. It's been endorsed by climate groups and unions alike, as it will both create jobs and address the pressing issue of climate change.
We understand the pain of voters in the progressive wing of the party, disappointed that a moderate candidate won the primary over the multitudes of progressive options. Some of us are among you. But we can't throw out an opportunity for progress or continue the reactionary trend of the past four years because our first choice isn't the nominee.
Progress isn't an all-or-nothing process, and it surely isn't an all-or-take-three-steps-back process. Biden has a lot of questions to answer about his policy plans, and we must be diligent after the election to make sure he follows through on them, but he's looking in the right direction. And come Jan. 20, we look forward to pushing him closer to the big solutions our nation needs.
For now, though, it's time to vote.

The architecture of Antoni Gaudí
June 27, 2011 March 28, 2018 Rebecca Fisher
My weekend trip to Barcelona includes an architecturally inspired day of Catalan Modernism as I explored the works of Antoni Gaudí.
During my travels to Spain this past weekend, my friends and I explored some of the most interesting and unique buildings in all of Europe. It has been said that the works of Antoni Gaudí are beyond classification for they defy the norms of almost every style of architecture currently studied. In my view the only way of classifying these buildings is by simply calling them "Gaudís".
As with almost every artist, Gaudí went through different periods of artistic expression throughout his life. Most of his works in Barcelona are the the naturalist period, when it is said he perfected his individual style. In his buildings, Gaudí saught to mimic the structures present in the natural world. Gaudí's buildings are said to resemble the cavernous caves of Montserrat, the lattice-like structure of pine cones and reeds, the human skeletal structure, the list goes on and on.
Our first stop of Gaudí's work was La Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera (1906–1910), commissioned by Pere Milà i Camps. This was by far my favorite, there are many interpretations but I side with the idea that the building is meant to resemble the ocean (the flowing limestone facade), with seaweed balconies (made from re purposed cast iron) and lookouts perched atop a grand vessel (funny little statues of stone and tile). The building consists of five floors, plus a loft (made entirely of catenary arches, which were absolutely beautiful) and the roof, as well as two, beautifully painted interior courtyards. Unfortunately the picutres do not give this artwork justice, but I think they portray a fraction of the awesomeness of La Casa Milà.
Next on the list was Parc Güell (1900–1914), Gaudí's main new project at the beginning of the 20th century. The park's history is pretty interesting, being quite the inventor, Gaudí decided to auction off sections of the park in the style of old English estates. Unfortunately, the idea didn't catch on and only one plot was sold. Bit that did not stop Gaudí from constructing the park entrance, service areas, and scattered walkways. The best way to describe it is as a Gaudí theme park. But I will direct readers to the video below which does a far better job at depicting these truly outrageous works of art:
Both the Casa Milà and Parc Güell were granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 1984. According to the organization:
The work of Antoni Gaudí represents an exceptional and outstanding creative contribution to the development of architecture and building technology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Gaudí's work exhibits an important interchange of values closely associated with the cultural and artistic currents of his time, as represented in el Modernisme of Catalonia. It anticipated and influenced many of the forms and techniques that were relevant to the development of modern construction in the 20th century.
Gaudí's work represents a series of outstanding examples of the building typology in the architecture of the early 20th century, residential as well as public, to the development of which he made a significant and creative contribution.
For me, his works do much more then represent an emerging and inventive form of architecture. These creations display not only the creativity of mankind but also our desire to mimic the awesomeness of nature within our own creations. Gaudí, I would venture, has been one of the most skilled humans to attempt this impossible feat. The organic and biometric forms which have been integrated into and dominate his buildings are what have drawn many towards his architecture.
