Three points are three points, and we're consistently coming away with them.
I'll be back after Match of The Day... Up the three nil, three point away winning Reds!
Why are people still moaning?
If you can't enjoy the position we're in with most likely our best football still ahead of us then I'm not sure what the point is.
I voted Bob MOTM. His movement without the ball looked awesome and he played a part in all 3 goals.
Trent looks better going forward. His play in the Fulham game has give him some confidence. 2 goals for club and country.
Get the f**k in...not the most polished performance but still scored 3 and kept a clean sheet.
Hendo and Klopp what the f**k? Kloppo should have brought on Fabinho as soon as Jordan finished mouthing off.
Anyways still unbeaten, we roll on to the Bitters.
VVD my MOTM. Masterclass display all game. What a Beast.
Henderson had his shirt torn off him for his first yellow and he let it affect him but he did take it for the team.
If it wasn't Henderson who got those two yellows there wouldn't be anywhere near the amount of talk about it.
But some folk just get a bit weird when Jordan is concerned.
I think when Jürgen told us to be angry some got the wrong end of the stick?
Made up once again to see the Reds win. We hung in there, in the end they couldn't contain us. Grit.
Daft challenge to get himself sent off and deserved a yellow, but those first three fouls were nonsense.
Watched it back now and Bob was outstanding. Looked so sharp. The whole backline was also superb and gave VVD my MOTM because he just won everything.
Could've given it to Bob, Rob or TAA also.
The sending off was a farce. The first foul was actually a foul by the Watford player. The second foul was borderline yellow card. Much has been made of Hendo complaining and moaning over the first yellow. In that instance Henderson made his complaint to the Ref but then carried on mouthing off as Watford were taking the free kick. The Ref then stopped Watford and called Hendo over for another bollocking.
Then he made another innocuous challenge, and this was near the half way line. It was a foul, not a yellow card offence. Ref could say Hendo was gaining an advantage by preventing a Watford attack, well a bit but the Ref probably still a bit narked at Hendo, produced the Red Card. Farce...avoidable farce.
Big fan of the 4-2-3-1 formation but feel that the boss isn't utilizing our front players correctly.
At the back the system clearly gives us far more defensive resiliency but up front I feel Klopp is picking players in the incorrect positions.
Salah scored so many goals, created assists and made space for others last season when he was played on the right and could cut into the space opened up by Bobby.
hold the ball up...which is tough for the little fella.
I would put mo back to the right side, move Bobby back to the pinnacle and have Shaqiri in the number 10 role.
Honestly feel that selection would get the best out of all of them.
Hendo made silly challenges a few times. Players can never untalk themselves a yellow, but they can talk themselves off the pitch. I think Henderson pissed the ref off and then gave the ref an excuse to send him off.
We're playing stuck in third gear but it is enough for now. We just need to win in Paris to qualify.
Robertson and Trent had a good game. Front three are getting their mojo back.
We do seem to be a far more balanced team this season, and while we are not playing as well as we can by a long way, we are getting the results. I keep hearing how well City are playing but at this stage we are still right there with them.
Robbo's play for the third goal was outstanding when you consider that we were 2 up, down to 10 men and in the last minute. I think that he is also right in with a shout as our next captain/vice captain - he is everything I want in a Liverpool player.
Great result against a team who have I think have made one of in not their best top flight start.
Agree with this. Not a fan of him becoming more of a 'target man' - he's looked better this season in passages of play coming in from the wing than being in the middle IMO.
This fact alone must keep Pep awake at night. How much upside we have compared to City and we're still just one City slip up away from top spot.
Watched the highlights on MOTD.
Great free kick from TAA, and though Salah might not be on fire he's getting important goals.
And good to see Bob nick one.
Still not at our best but keeping pace with City who look in full flow.
So what if Hendo got sent off, do we not want someone in there being getting niggly fouls and disrupting play. OK, ideally don't want him to get sent off, but getting digs into Hendo because of it seems over the top given the comfortable win.
Yes the front three are still not quite right but I feel that Shaq is giving the whole attack more dimension and options, its all moving in the right direction and surely Citeh have to take their foot off the gas at some point.
If Shaq were to play the 10 role, we wouldn't necessary need a false 9, would we? Someone like a Fowler or Owen, or maybe a Kane or Icardi type... either way, a proper striker (I wonder if Pulisic can be converted ) would be very interesting vs defensive teams.
you need to think about the bigger picture. He was fouling so much because he struggled, he struggled because his form is not very good right now. If he struggled against Watford how can he take on PSG? Klopp made two mistakes, 1) Picking him when he wasn't ready and 2) not getting him off the field soon enough. I posted on this very forum that Henderson should start back to face Everton but until then be on the bench. Now he's suspended! He's going to play against PSG probably due to the suspension and his mentality from the red card has probably caused us another problem. The second booking was stupid by him, but Klopp must share a bit of the blame because when a player isn't on their game it affects them. He shouldn't just be an auto pick because captain anymore.
We have far more options than just blowing away teams in a 20 min burst we have a structure and a plan for each game.
All the stats for this season are just of the charts and I cant see those posters not thinking we will get over 90 points now and I honestly think City who are bang on form now will have a poor patch whilst our form is improving game after game.
Agree entirely with your initial comment, we are kicking on in spite of not realising our full potential and a three goal away win is no better proof.
Did criticise Henderson meself for his reckless play but given the fact that it was a comfortable win makes it less excusable I would have thought, his reaction to a shirt pull which the ref missed and him pushing the player in retaliation (which the ref did see) was nothing short of girly.
On the BBC red button, they claimed our defence was "shaky throughout"...WTF...load of crap. Watford's attack was atrocious, apart from Alison making one or two smart saves our defence had an easy day. Both TAA and Robbo spent most of the game as attacking wing backs.
Said before the game Shaq hasn't had a quiet game so far..then he has his quietest game for a long time. Mane was in the same boat, in the first half, apart from one chance. Came into it more as we focused out attack down the left. Won't be many teams have such a cushy number at Watford as we did.
See even the motd pundits were highlighting Hendos meaningless sideways and backwards passing, while he clearly had more offensive passes available. He thereby slowed the attack and turned the momentum from positive to negative !

Pet Semetary Revised (The Back Story)
PET SEMATARY, from Paramount Pictures.
The Native Americans tried to warn them to stay away from the land, but the white men just laughed. The generations that followed them laughed and as the days grew colder and the land grew leaner and the people of this land for generations beyond knowing became thin with bitterness. They no longer believed in treaties or promises, handshakes or friendship.
The greed and selfishness of men of these men from across the Atlantic was unchecked by the civilizing forces of home and hearth, mother and father, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles. The Golden Rule of the Bible was easily forgotten by the white men, even if they too were seeking freedom from oppression. Some of them became the oppressors.
In their bitterness, some of the people who had been here since before the invasion of white people decided they were no longer guardians of the land and their unknown brothers. So they gave up the land they had stubbornly held on to as a trust given to them generations ago. Some of the former guardians warned the buyers that there was bitterness in the land and nothing but tears, horrors and hardships awaited those who planted anything in these sacred grounds. Some were too bitter to do so and swallowed those words of warning.
Those who had already found death on earth spoke the secret: Bury something there and it will come back to life. The dead would return to their loved ones. There were those who spoke of it as a warning, some of whom were believed too drunk to know what secrets they divulged. A few laughed the ugly guffaws of revenge the next day. Too many white people believed the original guardians to be inferior beings, ones who did not understand the meaning of civilization and would never, even with the proper education, reach the same intellectual level as white men. Such people would never know the best way to use such powers.
The land was sacred and became known as an ancient Indian burial ground. Even the wild animals knew better than to wander on to the land. The deer, the elk and the wolves stayed away, but that wasn't enough to warn the white men for soon these guardians of nature were all gone and the land became filled with mice and rats and rabbits and those were swept away by poisons as houses were built closer and closer to these sacred grounds.
Nature had a way of taking care of things. Nature would eat away the flesh. The Native Americans of the region held that a proper burial was offering the body to the vultures, flies and beetles. The bones were picked clean and then the bones became food for others. The Native Americans of that area did not bury their dead at these portals to hell–no matter how tempting it was because they understood.
At the sacred spot of bitter earth, they buried the dead of their enemies. And when the dead rose, they returned to their tribes and loved ones, poisoned with murderous rage. The guardians would hold torches and chant as the dead rose and follow a respectful distance behind the living dead as they made their return journey home. The guardians would chant a song of victory and pound on drums to drown out the screams of their enemies. The enemy's settlement would have to be burned down and all of the living dead accounted for and incinerated.
There was not just one, but several of these portals, but as the great white invasion swept away the guardians, evil was allowed to escape. Never ignore the wisdom of the old ways. Some things must change, but not everything should be swept away by the new and modern. Some day, the guardians will again arise and all will listen to their wisdom and evil will again lie silent in the bitter ground and peace will be restored.

Speedy winger Stephen Hunt misses court as Ipswich come first
By Robin Edwards
Republic of Ireland international winger Stephen Hunt had an unique reason for not appearing in court to answer a speeding charge — he didn't what it to affect his focus for the second leg of Ipswich Town's Championship play-off semi-final against Norwich City.
Hunt is facing a charge of speeding his Mercedes at 89mph in an area with a 70mph limit on the A14 near Newmarket in September last year.
He had been due to attend Bury St Edmunds Magistrates' Court, earlier this week but a letter read out from his solicitor said: "The position is a little complicated.
"We would ask the court to accept the apologies of both the solicitor and our client for not being present.
"He is a professional footballer and is currently fully focused on the Football Championship play-off his team are currently in."
Hunt was willing to accept a fixed penalty notice but it was sent to his old address.The letter continued: "Since he did not receive the letter he could not reply to it. It was sent to him at his old address notifying him of the option of the fixed penalty."
The case has now been adjourned. Hunt could face trial for the offence with a date to be set on June 8.
Meanwhile Hunt's Ipswich team-mate Daryl Murphy has no worries facing the boo-boys of fierce local rivals Norwich in Saturday's play-off semi-final second leg, having faced the wrath of Rangers fans when at Celtic.
"Ipswich is a massive club, but it's not the goldfish bowl that Celtic and Sunderland are; especially Celtic. Up there you get hounded in the streets, if not from the Celtic fans then from the Rangers fans. Sometimes it's not nice, especially when you're out and about with your family and just trying to have some food. It can be a bit annoying."

PROs in top organisations work longer hours, yet claim to be happier in their jobs than those working in less successful businesses. These findings come from a study quoted in Communication Excellence from the European Communication Monitor that shows communications professionals working in excellent organisations do more overtime, yet report higher levels of job satisfaction.
Zerfass et al (2014), p. 144. 2,090 communications professionals working in communications departments across Europe were asked: "How many hours do you work in an average week compared with the hours required by your work contract (with or without financial compensation).

All industries in Delhi to switch to PNG by January 31, 2021, directs air quality commission
About 1,644 of the industrial units spread across 50 industrial areas in Delhi have been identified for the switch over to PNG

Updated on Dec 22, 2020 04:44 PM IST
Hindustan Times, New Delhi | ByJayashree Nandi
The Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas has directed all industrial units in Delhi to switch over to piped natural gas (PNG) by January 31. In one of its first big interventions, the Commission has also directed the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) to inspect and identify industries using polluting fuels and take stringent penal action against those found violating the directive.
At a meeting on Tuesday, the Commission reviewed the progress of switching over of industries operating in Delhi to PNG. Representatives of the Delhi government, Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL), and Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) attended the meeting.

About 1,644 of the industrial units spread across 50 industrial areas in Delhi had been identified for the switch over to PNG. The Commission stressed the need to switch over by all identified industries in Delhi considering the sector is one of the major contributors to air pollution in Delhi and the NCR or the National Capital Region.
IGL and GAIL have been directed to complete the pipeline network, metering, and associated infrastructure by January 31.
MM Kutty, chairman of the Commission and former Delhi chief secretary, had earlier said they were also working on a long-term solution to crop stubble fires that also pollute the region's air.

Our paper on the long-term social origins of students at Peking University and Suzhou University has appeared in China Social Science (中国社会科学). The paper's title is "无声的革命:北京大学与苏州大学学生社会来源研究 1952-2002 (Silent Revolution: Research on the Social Origins of Peking University and Suzhou University Students, 1952-2002)." The lead authors were James Lee/李中清 (HKUST) and LIANG Chen/梁晨 (Nanjing University) and there were six additional co-authors, including myself.
My own role was fairly small, and limited largely on advising on the statistical analysis, and participating in discussions of the implications of the results. But it is an important paper, and I would rather make a minor contribution to an important paper than make a major contribution to an unimportant one. I already do a lot of the latter.
The paper presents many novel empirical findings on trends in the social origins of the students at these two universities. In my mind, the most important is the demonstration that during the period covered by the analysis, the percentage of students from farming and working class origins was much higher than at national and regional elite universities in the US.
Perhaps the only elite schools in the US in which students from modest socioeconomic origins are so well represented are the University of California campuses, including UCLA. I was just at a meeting yesterday where some basic tabulations were presented on the socioeconomic characteristics of entering freshmen at UCLA and I was pleased to see that we continue to admit and enroll large numbers of students who are first-generation college students, or from families of relatively low socioeconomic status. Based on what I have seen in tabulations from the annual Freshman Survey carried out by the Higher Education Research Institute here at UCLA, in the United States the most selective privates admit a large share of their students from high income families. Only a small portion come from modest origins.

1949 年以来, 中国高等教育领域出现了一场革命。高等精英教育生 源开始多样化, 以往为社会上层子女所垄断的状况被打破, 工农等社会较低阶层子 女逐渐在其中占据相当比重, 并成功地将这一比重保持到20 世纪末。基础教育的 推广、统一高考招生制度的建立以及重点中学的设置等制度安排共同推动了无声革 命的出现。这场革命虽然不及社会政治革命那样引人瞩目, 却同样意义深远。本研 究利用1952 — 2002 年间北京大学和苏州大学学生学籍卡片的翔实材料, 力图将这 一革命及其成就呈现出来, 为中国高等教育改革与发展提供借鉴.
Because much of the online discussion of our article has focused on what appears to be an increase in the share of students whose father and/or mother are cadres, James Lee and Liang Chen have provided some additional details on this trend to help clarify some key underlying features. Below, I have added this material to this blog entry, on 3/26/2012. We are preparing additional materials to help 'unpack' the findings in the article and clarify some of the key trends.
Recently there has been considerable interest in our research finding that the proportion of cadre children at PKU increased during the last quarter of the twentieth century from 11 percent in 1976 to 38 percent in 1999.
This finding which was published in《无声的革命:北京大学与苏州大学学生社会来源研究(1952-2002)》中国社会科学杂志 2012 年 1 期 is based on an analysis of the social origins of some 150,000 undergraduate students who entered Peking University and Suzhou University in the last half of the twentieth century.
The article also shows several other important discoveries.
2. The proportion of Suzhou University cadre children who are from commercial enterprise cadre families, however, increases from 3.4 percent in 1976 to over 43 percent in 2001.
In fact, overall the proportion of children from blue collar families remains roughly stable at Peking University during the last quarter of the twentieth century and increases during this period at Suzhou University.
Overall by international standards, Chinese elite university admissions as demonstrated by these two universities were and continue to be remarkably open to children from non-elite families.


Men, women and children belonging to the most marginalized segments of the society including gypsy community, brick kiln workers, sanitary workers, trans-genders, Persons with Disabilities, and religious minorities has questioned the government and the responsible state institutions and departments about their human rights in a Rally held in front of Lahore Press Club on 9th December 2016 under the auspices of Centre for Human Rights Education- Pakistan, with the support of the Members of Rwadari Tehreek and other civil society groups and organizations.
Interior Ministry to Turkish Teachers: Get Out of Our Country!
The decision to expel desperate Afghan refugees may have been a humanitarian disaster, but the Interior Ministry's latest decision raises serious questions about how low the government will go to please foreign leaders. Ahead of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit, officials have informed Turkish teachers that they have three days only to get out of Pakistan.
After a failed coup attempt, Turkey's authoritarian leader has undertaken a Stalin-esque purge of society that has shocked the conscience of the world.
More than 100,000 people had already been sacked or suspended and 37,000 arrested since the abortive putsch in an unprecedented crackdown President Tayyip Erdogan says is crucial for wiping out the network of Gulen from the state apparatus.
Thousands more academics, teachers, health workers, prison guards and forensics experts were among the latest to be removed from their posts through two new executive decrees published on the Official Gazette late on Saturday.
Now, we have become willing participants in this shameful episode of history. There is no evidence that these humble teachers have any connection to plotters and coup makers.
Some have noted that countries go to war and do much worse things for allies, so why are we so surprised at this? However I think the decision must also be thought about in the terms of current world events. Who will we be willing to turn over to Donald Trump? One what grounds will we protest if a Marine Le Pen government in France begins a purge of Muslims?
Our leaders shout that they will not take dictation from foreign governments, but their promises are hollow. First we got rid of the refugees, now we are willing to get rid of teachers. Who will be next? You?
Entire country's effort to shame the global community into waking up to the human rights atrocities in Kashmir is encouraging and shows the power that even the common man can have when united behind the cause of justice. Now that we know what is possible, though, we must ask why the same level of effort is not being given to the human rights of our own countrymen. I am speaking of course about the human rights atrocities which are being committed in Balochistan. According to official documents, over 1,000 bullet riddled corpses have been recovered from Balochistan during the last six years.
Ironically, while we are protesting that the entire world is blind to the atrocities in Kashmir, the world has been reporting the human rights situation in Balochistan for years and we are the ones who have been ignoring it. Our Kashmiri brothers and sisters deserve justice and the ability to live without fear of state terrorism, but don't our Baloch brothers and sisters deserve this also?

Voting Rights Across the United States
Posted by: Jackson Chadwick Posted date: November 05, 2018 In: Features
Well, Election Day is finally upon us. We have one day to go, and a handful of Senate, House, and Governors races still remain highly competitive, including in states where voting rights are on the ballot.
In every election cycle, the issue of voting rights emerges. Just recently in Georgia, Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R), who is running for Governor against Stacey Abrams (D), has been accused of voter suppression. Additionally, in Florida, there is a ballot measure which could, if passed, restore voting rights to over 1 million felons.
I'll break down the major differences in voting in different states across the country.
What's Happening in Georgia?
To recap, Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R) and state legislator Stacey Abrams (D) are vying to be Georgia's next Governor. Recently, over 50,000 voter registrations were put on hold by Georgia's State Department. Kemp is currently in charge of the Department and has repeatedly refused to step down. Voting rights groups, including the ACLU, have expressed concern over this issue. In a recent press release, the ACLU said they are filing a lawsuit against Kemp "and all county registrars." The ACLU is making the case that Kemp and county registrars are not providing due process to individuals "whose absentee ballots or applications are being rejected due to an alleged mismatch of signatures."
70% of absentee ballots and applications rejected are from black voters, furthering the fight over alleged voter and racial suppression. Georgia has an "exact match" voting process. Essentially, important information on absentee ballots and applications, including signatures, are matched with "Social Security and state driver records," according to Vox. If the information doesn't exactly match, the voter or applicant can be given the opportunity to correct the information.
Of the absentee ballots and applications rejected, about 98%, explained by CityLab, were received from "just ten counties, all of them connected to Georgia's most urban areas." Stacey Abrams is relying on voters from urban and suburban counties, in addition to the black vote, to help propel her to the finish line. There's no way of precisely knowing if and how this could hurt Abrams' chances. That's something we'll discover on Election Day, as the results come in.
Ex-Felons–Which States Bar Them From Voting?
While it's easy to vote for millions of Americans, millions of others don't even have the right to vote. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, felons are "permanently disenfranchised" from voting in Iowa, Kentucky, Virginia, and Florida.
This election cycle, Florida is at the center of a major ballot measure. Florida Amendment 4, if passed, would "automatically restore the right to vote for people with prior felony convictions, except those convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense, upon completion of their sentences, including prison, parole, and probation. To be clear, felons would not be allowed to vote while incarcerated. Maine and Vermont are the only two states that allow everyone to vote.
Given that Amendment 4 is technically an amendment to the state Constitution, for it to pass, it will have to receive a 60% approval from voters.
The Sentencing Project, a nonprofit organization working to reduce the level of incarceration across the U.S., released a report in 2016 showing that approximately 6.1 million people "are forbidden to vote because of 'felony disenfranchisement,' or laws restricting voting rights for those convicted of felony-level crimes. The Report, summarized by Ballotpedia, also found that "Florida was estimated to have 1,686,318 persons–10.43 percent of the voting age population–disenfranchised due to felonies." Statistically, that is a staggering number of Floridians who are disenfranchised from voting.
Voting–Where It's Easy to Vote, and Where It's Not…
Some states make it convenient for people to vote, while other states have a more challenging process. For instance, the state of Alabama has some of the most restrictive voter ID laws. Alabamians can only vote on Election Day, meaning they can't petition for an absentee ballot. But over in California, it's quite easy to vote: you don't need ID, you can vote early 4 weeks prior to Election Day, and you don't need any excuse for requesting an absentee ballot.
If you're curious as to how easy (or hard) it is to vote in your state, click here. Even if you're state doesn't require an ID, or your voting precinct doesn't typically ask for one, double-check.
And finally, a quick glance over the basics. The Senate, currently held by Republicans, is given a roughly 85% chance of staying under Republican control. The House, however, is quite the opposite. FiveThirtyEight gives Democrats an 85% chance of sweeping control of the House and gaining an average of 39-40 seats. But remember–these are only chances.
Like everything in politics, anything can happen at the last moment, so nothing is quite as set in stone as it may seem.

4 Memorable Moments
Ask Nicolajsen is a winger who plays for Jimmyhats. He transferred to the squad on August 7, 2012 as a winger and occasional wingback. For the majority of his time with Jimmyhats, Nicolajsen has been paired with fellow winger Helmuth Ladurner.
Nicolajsen was born to pot-smoking hippies living in Christiania, specifically conceived at the moment his father paused momentarily to roll a hash spliff on his mother's behind, thereby triggering the relaxation that led to Nicolajsen's embryonic fertilization. Despite the soporific tendencies of his parental units, Nicolajsen maintained an athletic hyperactivity and soon developed the skill to boot a large baggie of weed into a Grecian urn from any range within thirty meters. This, of course, attracted the attention of football scouts and Nicolajsen's football career was soon underway.
Nicolajsen broke into the professional ranks with Fodsutterne, a now-defunct team in the Danish system. He played in six different countries, most notably for eight-plus seasons with Portugeuse club Aztecas_FC, before transferring to Jimmyhats. His first appearance in a Jimmyhats uniform was during a league match at The Big Jimmy against Mighty Legends 01 on August 13, 2012 (10/49).
As of June 18, 2013, Nicolajsen has scored 69 career goals in 18 professional seasons, including two hat tricks, both while playing with Jimmyhats. Ask Nicolajsen is currently 35 years old.

Researching on the Internet, he finds a raptor park on Kangaroo Island that demonstrates birds-of-prey in free flight. Chris discovers another good reason to travel there - there's a wildlife park for sale. Due to its isolation from mainland predators, Kangaroo Island has become a true wild life sanctuary. Spring has also arrived and with it Chris has a new set of animal babies to look after: squirrel gliders, rainbow lorikeets chicks and his two prized koala babies Gum-nut and Bruce.


I can't believe this weekend is already Labor Day weekend! As this summer comes to an end it makes me crave the sunshine even more. A couple weekends ago, I went to the lake by my parents house to style these preppy looks from American Coastal Apparel. I am a preppy girl at heart so I love a good navy and pink pairing!
American Coastal Apparel was created by college students who started this company in high school. Being married to someone who also followed their dreams by starting a small business, I always love supporting them! The best part about their company is they donate a portion of their sales to the Surfrider Foundation. The Surfrider Foundation is an organization that works to protect the oceans and beaches by cleaning up the shorelines. So it's definitely a win win to shop with them!
Here I've styled three different products of theirs: Original Sailboat Long Sleeve Tee, Original Sailboat Crewneck, and a Nautical Logo Tee. Of course I had to pair them with some classic boat shoes, a windbreaker and jean shorts.
We're off to Florida tomorrow so I hope you guys have a fun labor day weekend!
Be sure to check out American Coastal Apparel on Instagram to see all their latest arrivals!
Thank you American Coastal Apparel for the opportunity to collaborate!
Can you guys believe that it's already August?! I mean seriously how is the summer going by this quickly? This past weekend I visited my little brother in DC, and I hadn't been there since my 8th grade trip. It was definitely so cool to revisit monuments and spend time with the fam. I am traveling a ton this month. I'm off to Ohio this weekend for a wedding! Taylor Swift comes to the burgh on Tuesday, and then next weekend I'm going to Waco with my Mom and sister to see Chip and Joanna's Magnolia Market. At the end of the month we're off to Florida for labor day weekend! Lots of trips means lots of packing and I love having a couple of staple items to take with me place to place.
I am a huge supporter of small businesses so I love sharing these boutiques on Tay & Co. The House of Gentry is an online bohemian clothing and accessories boutique. Tamie has so many unique items that are perfect for all your vacations the rest of the summer!
I styled a navy open back maxi dress and a mermaid graphic tee. Both perfect to pack for all my upcoming trips! The navy maxi dress will definitely be coming with me to the beach on labor day weekend! It's super flowy and has a halter top tie which is really flattering. It also features an open back detail that shows off that tan! I love how easy it is to throw on after a beach day, but still look put together for a nice dinner. You can get 15% off this dress with the code: TAYLOR15.
Graphic tees make up a large portion of my summertime wardrobe. I love grabbing a few new ones each season to pair with jeans or denim shorts! This mermaid graphic tee has the prettiest metallic lettering detail that reminds me of mermaid scales. Here I styled it with boyfriend jeans and slip ons which would be the perfect airport or road trip look. The best part is it's under $31 with my code: TAYLOR15. To finish off each outfit I wore these champagne tear drop earrings which also come in peach!
They just added tons of new arrivals to the site and be sure to follow The House of Gentry on Instagram to see when fall items start rolling in!
Thank you Create me Pretty for the photography. Also thank you The House of Gentry for the opportunity to collaborate.

Q: Asymptotic Distribution of the Likelihoodfunction Let $X_1,...,X_n$ be iid. Poisson distributed random variables with density $$f_\theta(x)=e^{-\theta}\frac{\theta^x}{x!},\ x\in\mathbb{N}$$
I computed the Likelihoodfunction for $\theta$:$$f(\underline{x},\theta)=e^{-n\theta}\frac{\theta^{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}}{\prod_{i=1}^n x_i!}$$
Now i want to determine how $f(\underline{x},\theta)$ behaves asymptotically, but I cannot seem to make any progress. My attempts mainly revolved around this

Theorem: Let $\theta_0$ be the true value of the parameter $\theta$. Under certain regularity conditions (we will take them for granted) the log likelihood estimate $\hat\theta_n$ satisfies $$I_n(\theta)^{1/2}(\hat\theta_n - \theta_0)\rightarrow Z$$ where $Z$ has a $\mathcal{N}(0,1)$ distribution and convergence is in distribution.

I suspect there are simpler methods to do this.

やばい、やばい、やばい、Less than 40 days till the world competition!?!?
But, compared to my progress around 10~20 days ago, my robot has developed a lot.
First of all, I have finalized my hardware design, basic structure, and selection of sensors.
In other words, I was able to make a hardware that I think is the best one ever, looking back at all the robots that I have made.
↑ this is a huge step towards completion, cause I focus more on the hardware than the software.
I will list and explain some specs of the current hardware.
1. Motors, tires, frame will be based off my robot from the National Competition. I tried using the EV3 L motor and stuff, but at the end of the day, it's the best to use what I have been using for the past years.
3. The robot will be able to store up to 5 balls on its back, and release it when it finds the evacuation zone, WITHOUT using a motor.
4. The touch sensor system is the same as my robot at the National Competition.
5. The robot will find the ball with an electricity conductivity sensor and a infrared distance sensor(just like the can).
8. The ramp will be detected by an I2C accleromter.
And basically, this is it.
In other words, there isn't any wierd(complicated) stuff like a slave Arduino or a Sensor Multiplexer.
This robot is the best and the simplest robot yet.
If nothing urgent happens, I am thinking of going with this robot.
For the programming part, I have just finished creating the linetracing program, and detecting the ramp(only detecting).
From now, I need to go through all that soldering/wiring process, to connect all the microswitches and stuff.
At the same time I have to work on getting the balls.
If that's done.... I'm basically done!
Till the World Championships, there is only 39 days. Considering the fact that I have like 17 days during the summer break to work on this, I think 39 days is just.
I will keep on work on my robot, so it will be the BEST ever for real!!

DCS Chargers play to sixth at B.C. Christian soccer tourney
Coaches proud of team's performance in Langley
The Duncan Christian School Chargers played to a sixth-place finish at the B.C. Christian Schools boys soccer championship in Langley last weekend.
Despite missing some key players, the Chargers got off to a good start on Friday with a 3-0 win over Westside Academy of Prince George in their first game. Early scoring chances indicated that DCS would dominate, but there were a few missed opportunities before Greir brothers Josh and Jesse scored five minutes apart, Jessie's goal coming on a shot to the far corner. Josh Greir scored again in the second half to round out the scoring.
The Chargers second game was a tougher one against host Credo Christian. The goalkeeping of Andrew Young behind a strong defence kept DCS in the game, but the Chargers could only muster one goal as Stevens scored on a pass from Nathan Powell.
Abbotsford Christian gave the Chargers another challenge in the first round of the playoffs the following morning. Abbotsford scored a questionable goal in the first half, but the Chargers didn't give up and managed to even the score on a shot by Powell in the final minutes. DCS ended up prevailing 5-4 in the penalty shootout.
Advancing to the fifth-/sixth-place game, the Chargers played a close match against Vernon Christian, with Vernon prevailing 2-0.
"The boys were injured and tired and did extremely well despite some setbacks," coach Chris Muller said. "Mr. [Ian] Smith, Mr. [Peter] Terpstra and I are very proud of the work ethic our players showed and it was a very rewarding tournament indeed."

After spending the night in San Juan, it was off to the port to embark on a Pirate's island-hopping journey (sans pillage and other objectionable activity!) through the Southern Caribbean for 7 days aboard the Norwegian Dawn. She's a fine ship – meticulously well maintained and brimming with a wealth of great entertainment and bounty of good food – but that is for another post, for the highlights of this trip are the magnificent islands – a strand of fine gems dotting the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea. I wore it well.
The first stop was Barbados, the southernmost point of our itinerary. Despite the fact that it was December and snowing when I left home, in Barbados it was in the mid 70s with a gentle breeze of sun-drenched, fresh-scented air. I would be meeting some new friends this day – the "green monkeys" of Barbados, on the Green Monkey Encounter and 4×4 Adventure excursion.
To my surprise, I was greeted by far more than adorable monkeys, but tortoises and deer as well. These animals were fearless – approaching people with reckless abandon, allowing for very close contact (sans touching – the sign warned they bite!) and amazing photo ops. The monkeys also interacted with each other – grooming each other, screeching at each other, and chasing one another swinging limb to limb through the trees. They sat on the tortoises, who showed no indication of minding. Surrounded by monkeys, out in the open – not in a zoo, this was a truly unique experience (despite the joke-cracking about the monkeys down here from the Caribbeans who claim they have been overrun a la "Planet of the Apes!") After our visit with the monkeys, we proceeded to scenic areas for more amazing photos as long as we could evade the distraction of eager local vendors.
We stopped at the church (shown above) of Sacre Coeur, said to be a miniaturized version of the landmark church in Paris. The residents I encountered on Martinique patriotically displayed their admiration for their compatriots in continental France. The tour bus traversed steep mountainside roads, bright colors splashed along the roadside in the form of beautiful flowers. Enormous peaks shadowed deeply plunged valleys – those with a fear of heights be forewarned. We continued on to a rum factory, DePaz, which showed the process of creating this intoxicating (literally) drink. The rum was prepared in gigantic vats, and aged in perfectly crafted barrels. The best part, of course, was the tasting at the end of the tour – especially since it was the finest rum I'd ever tasted – sweet but not overbearingly so. The final stop on the tour was the local museum, which had displays on local famous (and infamous) citizens, and some historic artifacts. Outside cannons lined the elevated overlook, wary of battles against the British in bygone days.
It was back to the ship again after another amazing adventure, and time to gaze from my shipboard balcony at the bold orange sunset blanketed in blue and violet ribbons you expect to see in paintings more than in real life. A perfect end to a perfect day.
Stay subscribed next time for Part 2: St. Kitts, Antigua, and St. Thomas. A review of the Dawn will be covered in a future post.

Cast a vote for your favorite movie in my Oscar poll.
There's still lots of time to vote for your favorite before the Academy Awards airs on February 23rd. I'm curious to see how our votes line up with the Academy's. As of now, Les Miserables is out front. It's my favorite movie of the year, in a year of extraordinary films. Last night at the DGA Awards Stephen Spielberg noted he wished it were a little less extraordinary! Speilberg went on to lose the Best Director nod from the Director's Guild which went to Ben Affleck for Argo. Affleck can't win the Academy Award for Best Director because he was (stupidly) not nominated by the Academy. But his movie could win Best Picture. Ironically, Argo which has been winning awards left right and center hasn't received any votes in my little poll.
The poll is in the sidebar on the top right.
PS Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
I've only seen two of them- Les Mis and Life of Pi (which is actually pretty good for me), I'd pick Les Mis.
Thanks for playing along, Louise.


source of protein and dietary fiber. This dish is spicy and tasty. You will be happy to know that you can prepare these pancakes for all family members within 30 minutes and it can be prepared instantly. Let's see how to prepare this tasty pancake.
Wash the alasande kalu (black eyed beans) with plane water and soak it in ½ litre luke warm water for 4 hours. Meanwhile you can make ready the other ingredients.
Chop the onions into medium sized cubes. Remove the stem of green chillies and cut it into small pieces. Remove the skin of the garlic flakes. Chop the coriander leaves. Put all these ingredients in a bowl and keep it aside.
After 4 hours, you can check whether alasande are fully soaked or not. Take an alasande in hand and press it by two fingers. If it is fully soaked, it will break into small pieces, otherwise it will be hard to break. After you confirm that they are fully ready, you can start the next process.
Take a mixer jar (big one). Pour soaked alasande in it. Add all the other chopped spices, cumin seeds and salt to it. Add ½ cup (100 ml) water to it. Grind it to a fine paste. While grinding, if required, you can add some more water to it. consistency of the batter should be thicker than that of dosa batter. Now, add a pinch of soda to the batter and mix it well.
Heat a pan (tawa), pour one big spoon of batter over pan and spread it uniformly by moving the hand in circular motion. Close the pan with lid for 1 minute. Open the lid, pour 2 to 3 drops of oil over it and allow it to cook for 2 minutes. Turn the pancake upside down with the help of a ladle (long handled plane spoon). Pour 2 to 3 drops of oil on the other side of the pancake, allow it to cook for 2 minutes. Now hot and tasty pancake is ready to serve.
You have to repeat the process for the remaining batter to make more pancakes.
For variety of Dosa eaters, this can take them to different taste.More so easily digestable.


Marcus Montgomery was getting on the bus to his apartment while overhearing two girls checking the receipt of the scones they just bought, as if they were going to return them or something. After spending all day in support of the Black Lives Matter movement on campus, the 20-year old freelance photographer had to put headphones on to cancel out the white nonsense. Little did he know that in just a few hours, his latest photo would become a global phenomenon.
"It all just happened so fast really. I've been doing this for a while, but nothing like this has ever happened," he says. Montgomery has been an independent journalist for quite some time now, having been at the forefront of white culture since the beginning of his career. Included among his many acclaimed reports are his articles on "The Cultural Significance of All-Star by Smash Mouth," "The Importance of a Finsta in the Darty Era " and his revered two-hour documentary on Doug Bradley, the bro who chugged an entire keg in 10 minutes. But nothing could have prepared him for this profound moment in his distinguished career.
Since the release of the photo, Montgomery has received numerous accolades, including a Nobel Peace Price in Whiteography, a chair in the Board of Directors of the BET Awards, and a VIP ticket to any Beyoncé concert for the rest of his life. "Who knew my peak of black success would be a picture of three white dudes deciding if Calios is the move."

Rafa Benitez has explained today how with so many defeats in our first few games his players lost their confidence.
That's not at all surprising, but at least the lads fought in each game and were close to getting points in every game apart from the poor showing at home to Leicester City.
But that was the exception, and we have now broken through with our first win of the season against Watford last Saturday.
Rafa Benitez has a difficult situation coming since the newly-formed Magpie Group have organized protests against the owner and have called for a boycott for the home game against Wolves in early December.
That's a winnable game, and if the boycott is "successful," it will almost certainly affect the players.negatively.
But what is a boycott supposed to achieve and what is the definition of success; an empty stadium?
It looks like it hurts the club and the team.
But personal opinions aside, it's going to be interesting to see how the manager handles this upcoming situation.
Rafa doesn't want to go against the fans – but he also knows he needs the points this season.
The manager also goes out to win every single game, and he has always asked for the support of the fans to do that, which has always been one of Newcastle's significant strengths.
It's a difficult situation for everybody.
Ki Sung Yeung, our very own David Beckham, according to the link posted yesterday.
Those pics you sent a link to, I didn't see our venerable owner in any of them, presume he was invited.
Ayose only needs 1 goal to become our joint top scorer and put him on course for my prediction of him being our top scorer for the season.
My wife used to teach at Longbenton cooking.david Craig came to her class with a disabled lad.that was his job then.A carer.Aprox nine years ago.he said the paper shops were to much he was there morning till night.
Also I think other players came to rely on him to much by passing to him to much instead of using the ball better or carrying it forward themselves.
Bill, sadly two goals to be highest league scorer is nowt for anyone to boast about 1/4 the way through the season…..
We really need someone to take responsibility and start banging them in for fun. Sadly, I can't think of anyone currently at the club who can do that, can you?
Just a fan @4 – Interesting as he would have been about 65 then – surely he must be retired by now?
The boycott is a waste of time, you're boycotting the club. If you don't like the owner that's your opinion but to stay away serves no purpose.
It will achieve nothing, well probably deter any players from signing to be honest.
C'mon Jib liven it up !
Online Guy, yep, no Catchy and no debate. It's been slow as owt today on here. Variety is the spice of life, Catchy and those like him who swim against the tide provide that variety on a slow news day – I just can't bear them crowing on a match day after a defeat.
David had an newspaper outlet at the metro station in North Shields. One day Ron McGarry was serving he was hilarious. God their pay must have been poor.
I mean their earnings as footballers.
Aye only two goals would be a bad return for our top scorer but now he's got one, he's going to start banging them in as he did the end of last season.
I do wonder if his best role would be as a super sub only coming on after the other teams defense is tiring a bit.
Has the potential to be our own Akinfenwah!
Bill, do you know what I nearly posted earlier in the week how he could become our very own Solskjaer – God I used to hate seeing him come on for the Mancs.
You never took my bait re someone banging them in within the club – I was waiting for S-O-R-E-N-S-E-N!!
Yes Bill I think ya right. I've heard that excuse before. Not from me mind.
That link you just posted, that goal scorer looks a decent striker, wonder where he is now, Real Madrid, Barca, we could never afford to buy him back now though even if they were prepared to let him go.
scout, its a one game protest that personal i don't agree with.
We're destined to be the best mid table team ever, surely we should be satisfied with that?
A lot of people are going to be disappointed if they think Ki is going to come in and outperform Shelvey. Shelvey is not the problem, the outlet players are.
Ki looked good against Watford (first time I have specifically noticed), but that is because he came on during a time when the side was pushing forward more.
How many times since Shelvey was signed have fans theorised that Shelvey was the problem; it was the same thing with Merino after not seeing much of him. If Shelvey was out injured for the rest of the season, I would lose all hope of staying in the PL. It has never taken long for Shelvey's absence to be noticed any time he has been out injured—contrary to initial reactions that the side can play better without his long passes.
We definitely missed Shelvey when he was out last season and I reckon we'd miss him now, no reason why he and Ki shouldn't play together, they have before, successfully.
Right it's time for me to whip up a culinary delight for the family, later chaps.
carltoon, I believe players earned a maximum of £20 a week as footballers, which was a good wage compared to the rest of the working classes, not sure if they had pensions of any sort though.
And that's me definitely off, mouths to feed!
To stay away serves alot of purpose, if you can't see the sense in it then that's fine. You are entitled to keep going and no one should say otherwise.
The boycott to me gives me a chance to show my dissent to an owner who has spent the last decade destroying our club, I won't sit back and hope something changes, I'll take a stand a try to force change. It may work it may not but at least I can say I tried!!
I never read Catchys posts . Im not going against him as I don't read him and never delve in to what he's saying and I have a natural tendency to skip his posts due to the arguments he always seems to be embroiled in ..I skim them as well !
So he has no effect on my sensitive equilibrium.
Shelvey needs to play higher up, even if it's 10 yards further up, he keeps dropping to deep and prevents issues as we can only long as the other option in midfield is gone. He's got more to his game than playing the role of quarter back, Gayle has gone so this season he needs to adapt his game.

So is that you in a bed sit on the radio then.

McClellan Slams Rove
By Tim Taylor
Under questioning from Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.), former Bush administration spokesman Scott McClellan stated that ex-White House political mastermind Karl Rove would not, in his experience, be a trustworthy witness if he were not placed under oath while talking to lawmakers.
Judiciary Committee Democrats, led by Chairman John Conyers (Mich.), are trying to get Rove to testify before their committee on his role in the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman (D). They have demanded he appear before them on July 10 to talk about the broader issue of politicization of the Justice Department.
Rove has rejected a formal appearance, but has offered to come before lawmakers in private, and without an oath, to tell his side of the story.
At a hearing on Friday into McClellan's statements in his new book about the Valerie Plame scandal, Rep. Davis asked McClellan, who has known Rove since his days in Texas politics, whether he would trust Rove in the more informal setting.
"Based on my own experience, I could not say that I would," McClellan said.
Davis further queried whether Rove was capable of lying to protect himself from legal jeopardy. The former aide said of the Plame matter: "He certainly lied to me. That's the only conclusion that I can draw."
As to whether Rove would lie to shield himself from political embarrassment: "I would have to say that he did in my situation, so the answer is yes."
But McClellan drew the line on speculating about whether the White House was capable of creating a "false cover story" to hide its involvement in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006.
"I don't have any direct knowledge on that," McClellan said.
Additionally, McClellan said he believed that Rove must have lied to President Bush about his involvement in the Plame case, since Bush told McClellan that Rove had assured him that he wasn't involved.
Furthermore, asked by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) which members of the Bush administration should come before Congress to testify on the Plame matter, McClellan pointed to Vice President Cheney and unnamed others below him.
"It would be a benefit if they shared everything they know, and it would be a benefit if they did it under oath," he stated.
McClellan acknowledged that his appearance before the Judiciary Committee is likely to cost him whatever Republican friends he may have left in Washington.
Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) asked McClellan if he believed that Cheney instructed his now-convicted former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, to leak Plame's identity to the media.
"I cannot rule it out," McClellan said.
McClellan said he did not believe that President Bush "knowingly lied" about the Plame situation to McClellan, but he instead described Bush as leaving an "appearance" of dishonesty.
"The president never has lied to me, but it had the effect … whether or not it was deliberate or conscious," McClellan said.
Republicans on the committee went after McClellan with a vengeance, questioning his motives in writing the scathing memoir of his time in the White House.
Ranking member Lamar Smith (R-Texas) tried to discredit any notion that White House officials had anything to do with unmasking Plame, pointing out that news reports showed that Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told Washington Post columnist Robert Novak of Plame.
After Smith made his opening statement — to which one of McClellan's attorneys objected — he immediately spoke out, arguing that the attorney was speaking out of turn.
In his opening statement, Smith mocked the committee hearing, calling it a political circus and a book club that took political shots at President Bush without providing evidence to back the former spokesman's claims.
"Welcome to the Judiciary Committee's first book of the month club meeting. Today it's Scott McClellan's 'What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception,'" Smith mocked. "I propose that next time we consider Ann Coulter's recent book, 'How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must).'"
During the question-and-answer period, Smith focused largely on the mechanics surrounding McClellan's memoir. He questioned how McClellan chose the title and whether he was aware of the publisher's criticism of President Bush as a "clearly horrible person."
McClellan said that he was not aware of the publisher's views, but that the book was by and large a book of his own words.
"This is my book. I wrote this book," insisted McClellan, trying to deflect any attempt that he was coerced to write things against the administration.
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.) pointedly questioned why McClellan was testifying shortly after House calls for Bush's impeachment. Lungren described the hearing as "Kucinich-like," referring to Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who has repeatedly called for the president ouster.
McClellan distanced himself from the impeachment fracas. He said that he did come to testify to impeach the president, nor did he think that the president should be impeached.
He called Bush a "decent man."
