With its reputation for zero carbon, everything has a local flavour on the stunning Somme Bay. Enjoy its food and festivals and seek out our secret spots.
We seem to spend our lives on the road these days so it's always refreshing to find a special place for a short break where you can just park up and forget about the car entirely. Enter Saint Valery sur Somme, a pretty French village on the coast of Northern France, only 75 minutes by car from Eurotunnel or the Calais car-ferry. There's so much to do all in one place (a boat or kayak trip to see the seals, a stroll in the quaint lanes of fishermen's cottages, a bike-ride, a mooch in the typically French market…) that you'll wonder why you didn't know about it already.
The serene seascape is breath-taking so you might be tempted to come for the nature-watch opportunities alone. But if you don't also go town-wards and off the beaten track, you'll be missing a trick... or five.
lly –shuttered terraced cottages burst in flower, some bearing the names of their first inhabitants in tiles above the door.
There's a secluded spot where fishermen's wives and children used to keep a lookout for returning boats and pray for their loved ones' safe return. To find this special place to visit, with its monument and tiny wooden chapel, head to the Calvaire des Marins.
Cobbled streets of rust brick or half-timbered townhouses characterise this walled part of town. The pretty French village streets and lanes are so quiet and so unspoilt, you leave with a warmly nostalgic sense of what Saint Valery would have been like in days gone by.
The Chapel de Saint Valery is undisputedly the locals' number one magical place - and picnic spot too. Although it's only a 10 minute walk from town, the sense of isolation and the view over the bay give it a tranquil and spiritual quality.
From the chapel, take the track towards the bay to reach the beach. There's a single café right on the sand - La Buvette.
A speciality you won't see much further afield is the Gateau Battu, a brioche-type delicacy traditionally given to friends and family on special occasions. Our locals recommend you couple it with rhubarb jam or a Picardy cider for added indulgence! Buy one from the hipster Watterlot pâtisserie or from the Fournée de la Baie bakery – they also sell more pains than you can shake a baguette at!
Explore the community food scene at the Sunday market; so much produce is locally-sourced, it's like opening the door of the local larder. It starts at Place des Pilotes and extends right along the promenade. All is not lost if you're not here on a Sunday: head to the store named La Sardine on Rue de la Ferté. Anne France will talk you through (in English!) her passion for Somme Bay zero-carbon products; why not try the samphire or the Oreilles de Cochon - not pigs' ears as the translation might suggest but a spinach-like plant and local speciality that local chefs use to flavour their dishes. Anne France will also be delighted to share her tips on how best to explore the bay.
Best restaurants in Saint Valery sur Somme to taste local cuisine and savoir-faire specialities. What's on the menu?
This region is now called Hauts de France but locals are still so proud to be from Picardy – its former name – that references to it aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Take the Ficelle Picarde for example, a delicious crêpe dish made with ham, mushrooms and cream or the Paté Picard on the menu at the waterfront Relais de Guillaume de Normandy restaurant; it's made with salicornes (samphire) hand-harvested on local shores. Moules-Bouchot is another speciality to look out for in Saint Valery - mussels grown on wooden poles in the sea.
Wherever you go, fresh and seasonal is the order of the day whether it's Coquilles Saint Jacques scallops or locally reared salt-marsh lamb. For savoir-faire at its best, connoisseurs head up to the exquisite Tables des Corderies restaurant where the creative chef is a committed 'locavore': he only uses locally-sourced produce.
Recommended to us by one of our special places to stay, you'll also find fish restaurant Le Mathurin where the catch du jour dictates the dishes. It's a family affair with chef Pierre-Alain Delaby's nearest and dearest all on the sidelines: his parents are both local fish traders, his mother was his culinary mentor and his brother supplies the catch from his own vessel. If their concept of boat-to-plate isn't the epitome of super-fresh and locally-sourced, we don't know what is!
Le Balcon en B - Contemplate modern objets d'art over a beautiful breakfast at this B&B which has the feel of a Parisian creative's apartment. Alain and Clothilde can either welcome you for table d'hôte evening meal (on reservation) or share their 'bonnes adresses' restaurant recommendations.
Cottages la Croix de l'Abbé - You'll be hard-pushed to find a friendlier welcome than Christine and Gilbert's. Offering gîte accommodation in the former stables, plus a stylish and comfortable chambre d'hôte (B&B), they've thought of everything to make this special place to stay all the more memorable: you can even borrow their bikes to explore the area. Gilbert is Saint Valery born-and-bred so local knowledge knows no bounds!
For coffee - There are many cafés on the promenade yet locals convene for coffee at Bar de la Civette on Rue de la Ferté.
For a dip - It's too dangerous to swim in Saint Valery sur Somme on account of the shifting sands so head to Cayeux sur Mer instead.
For festival fun - Annual event fixtures include the Festival of Theatre in June, the Fête de la Mer in August and the Christmas Market in December.
For brocante - If browsing for all things vintage and retro is your thing, you should also look out for local Réderie markets – it's a local word for a fleamarket.

Parents should spend quality time with kids: Kirmani
Mangaluru, Apr 09, 2019: Speaking after inaugurating 'Darpana', a programme organised to felicitate the winners of various sports events, at Mangalore University; Former cricketer Syed Kirmani stressed on April 8, Monday that modern parents should spend more time with their children and focus on boosting creativity among them.
He added that the advanced technology has made everyone captive. If parents spend more time with modern gadgets, they will not give quality time to their children. Today, there is a need for parental intervention in making children culturally productive. But it is sadly missing these days, he lamented.
Kirmani said that students must get into sports activities. The education institutions are encouraging sports today, he said.
Kirmani, recalling the World Cup performance of India, said that his and fellow player Kapil Dev's partnership in 30 overs is an unforgettable event. During the final match, the Indian team lost more wickets against a few runs. Despite this challenge, the team managed to win, he added.
Alva's College, Moodbidri, obtained the highest points to win 'Kreeda Puraskara' felicitation. Individual achievers, who brought laurels to the university in various sports events, were also felicitated on the occasion.
National Kabaddi player Prashanth Rai was the chief guest. In-charge VC Dr Kishori Nayak presided over the programme. Registrar Prof A M Khan was present, at this significant event.

By: Veronica Morley, 23ABC
FRESNO, Calif. — A Bakersfield man pleaded guilty to destroying evidence in a federal investigation, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced Thursday.
According to court documents, on Dec. 2, 2019, Jerome Roberson, 33, was facilitating prostitution in the Bakersfield area using his cellphone and by other means. At the time, federal agents were investigating Roberson due to his involvement in the Country Boy Crip gang in Bakersfield.
Documents said Roberson smashed his cellphone in an effort to conceal evidence when he was confronted by federal agents.
On Dec. 17, 2019, Roberson was charged with using a cellular device to facilitate interstate prostitution and obstruction of justice.
Roberson is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dale A. Drozd on Oct. 16. Roberson faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Full text of Halutz's letter of resignation
Writes to Olmert: "In order to lead, we have to fulfill our responsibilities."
halutz fadc tough 298.88. (photo credit: Ariel Jerozolimski)
To Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Jerusalem Sir: Not long ago, I completed 40 years of service with the IDF. All that time, I had the privilege of serving this country, my native country, in what I saw as the most important mission - protecting the peace. I fought in the IDF - with my fellow soldiers - in all arenas. Every time I was given a mission, I did my best, out of a sense of dedication. I acted after considerations of morality, loyalty, honor, dependability, and comradeship. In my long term in the IDF, I had the privilege of commanding excellent people and saw the IDF, thanks to these same peoples' abilities, develop into one of the world's leading armies. For me, the word "responsibility" is very meaningful: It comes before everything - from A-Z, from training to probe. My perception of responsibility is what has led me to remain in my position until now, and lay this letter before you. On June 1, 2005, the day on which I was entrusted by the government, under Ariel Sharon, with the job of chief of General Staff, I accepted a great responsibility. The essence of this responsibility was the Lebanon war in the summer of 2006 and what followed. After the echoes of battle died away, I decided to exercise my responsibility in line with the highest tradition from home and the IDF. Therefore, I ordered an investigation into the war unprecedented in the IDF: an extensive, detailed probe that didn't exclude me. Today, after the investigation has been concluded, and decisions taken as to how to implement the lessons of the investigation in the IDF work plan for 2007, I am proud that I did what I promised to do after the Lebanon war and fulfilled my responsibility. I am convinced that the army will be ready for the challenges ahead. The probe opened my eyes to what needs to be done to fix the situation, and to maintain the areas in which we succeeded. One of the main things we learned was that the IDF is deeply influenced by long-term processes. Sometimes, this influence isn't felt, and we aren't aware of its ramifications. These processes have an effect on Israeli society and on the army's ability in particular. Unfortunately, the State of Israel is destined to continue fighting for its existence. Our ability to secure victory in this drawn-out battle depends on our strength. This strength, at its roots, is built on values, on education, on a strong economy, and above all - on a strong IDF. The IDF's strength is built first and foremost on the quality of its people and then, on the resources allotted to it. We must remember that the IDF's successes in Lebanon and elsewhere were achieved by many numbers of regular army and reserve soldiers, ready to be called up at any time. The IDF's strength comes from the public's support. Unfortunately, this has waned in recent years. I believe, Mr. Prime Minister, that we must protect at all costs the IDF's honor and tradition, and leave it out of political struggles. Human nature keeps people from serving where they are not valued and not protected by the people who send them [on missions]. We must ensure that we don't reach a situation in which good people will hesitate to ally themselves with the IDF. Neither strong education, nor a strong economy will help us then, and the threat to the State of Israel will become more palpable. There is no army as moral as the IDF. Its history is decorated with the blood of our many sons and daughters who have fallen. Their memory will remain with me forever. I hope that we will be able to bring the kidnapped soldiers back quickly, the people who fell prisoner fighting for the country. I will always carry in my heart the meetings with the bereaved families, who even in these difficult times continue to support the IDF and encourage its commanders. I would like to thank the defense ministers under whom I've served, and my colleagues in the General Staff, who have been full partners in planning and execution. I offer special thanks to IDF soldiers and commanders in the regular army and in reserves, who have been partners in the daily burden. To you, sir, I would like to thank for your support and backing and wish you success in dealing with the complicated challenges before the nation and you, as prime minister. In order to lead, we have to fulfill our responsibilities. Therefore, now that I have finished my task, I inform you of my resignation, effective immediately. I salute the IDF and its soldiers. At your service always, Danny Halutz, Lt.-Gen.

Q: What is the difference between a linear independent set and a generating set? im having difficulty because onto have columns of generating set and one to one has columns of linear independence but the way we prove whether a standard matrix has linear independent columns are generating columns are the same.

A: A linearly independent set of vectors is a set of vectors such that none can be written as a non-trivial linear combination of the others, whereas a generating set may have linearly dependent vectors in it, but it has the property that the span (all linear combinations of vectors) makes up the entire space.

Stanley Cup Playoffs: Monday's betting preview and odds
The Western Conference takes center stage Monday night as the St. Louis Blues and the San Jose Sharks both have 3-2 series leads and look to advance to the Conference Finals.
Dallas Stars at St. Louis Blues (A: +140, H: -150, O/U: 5)
The St. Louis Blues look to secure their first Western Conference final berth in 15 years on Monday when they attempt to eliminate the Central Division-rival Dallas Stars in Game 6 at Scottrade Center. Although St. Louis inched closer to the Promised Land with a 4-1 triumph in Game 5 on Saturday afternoon, forward Alex Steen cautioned his club that it shouldn't look too far ahead.
"It doesn't really change much," Steen told reporters. "We expect their best and obviously we're going to bring ours and it's going to be a heck of a hockey game again. It's no real different situation. We've got to win another hockey game." Blues goaltender Brian Elliott has been the primary reason the Blues are on the brink of their first conference title appearance since 2001, making 27 saves on Saturday – with two coming from point-bank range on Game 4 overtime hero Cody Eakin. Despite seeing his team pushed to the edge, Dallas coach Lindy Ruff isn't overly concerned as the series shifts back to the Show Me State. "I'm confident. These guys, they've given us everything they've had all year and we've had some tough situations, and they'll pull out of it," Ruff told reporters.

Stars – Kari Lehtonen (W/L: 5-2, GAA: 2.65, SAVE %: .905)
ABOUT THE STARS (56-26-11, 50-39 O/U): After going 4-for-19 on the power play in its first-round series, Dallas has converted just once in 16 opportunities the man-advantage versus St. Louis – a far cry from the 22.1 percent efficiency it showed in the regular season. Despite the team's struggles, captain Jamie Benn insists the Stars aren't getting down on themselves. "There's not too much (frustration with the power play)," said Benn, who scored 17 times with the man advantage in the regular season but has yet to do so in the playoffs. "We've just got to go out there as a group of five and try to make a difference."
ABOUT THE BLUES (56-27-11, 37-42 O/U): Veteran forward Troy Brouwer has received his wake-up call with four goals and three assists in the past seven contests after being held off the scoresheet in each of his previous five. Robby Fabbri joined Brouwer in scoring in Game 5 and added an assist for his fourth multi-point performance of the postseason – with his 10 points (two goals, eight assists) leading all rookies. "It's pretty awesome, to think last year I was sitting watching (the playoffs) and a year later, I'm in them," the 20-year-old Fabbri told reporters. "It's been a great ride, just have to keep going here."
* Stars are 17-4 in their last 21 games following a loss of 3 or more goals.
* Blues are 4-1 in their last five meetings at home.
* Over is 5-0-3 in Stars last 8 games playing on 1 days rest.

Sharks lead series 3-2
Although they've held serve at home, the San Jose Sharks can punch their ticket to their fourth Western Conference final appearance should they show the mettle that made them the top road team during the regular season. Boasting an NHL-best 28-10-3 mark away from home, the Sharks look to quiet Music City on Monday when they face off against the host Nashville Predators in Game 6.
"We know it's a tough challenge to win in Nashville. (Monday's) a huge game," San Jose veteran Joe Thornton told reporters. "They're going to play desperate. We got to play just as desperate. I expect their 'A' game and our 'A' game too. Can't wait." Nashville's second line of Mike Fisher, Colin Wilson and James Neal has collected seven goals in the last three contests – including the club's lone tally in a 5-1 setback in Game 5 on Saturday. "We just need to go into Nashville and have a better game," Neal told reporters. "Our team will. I believe in the guys. We'll regroup."

Predators – Pekka Rinne (W/L: 6-6, GAA: 2.37, SAVE %: .909)
ABOUT THE SHARKS (53-31-8, 47-35 O/U): Joe Pavelski scored twice in Game 5 to raise his postseason total to a a team-high eight, one shy of the NHL lead held by Tampa Bay's young stud Nikita Kucherov. Logan Couture also tallied on Saturday for his 13th point, joining defenseman Brent Burns for club-best honors while residing just one behind Dallas' Jamie Benn. "That's what we're supposed to do; we're supposed to go out and contribute offensively and score goals and play well," Couture told reporters of the team's veteran leadership. "When we're winning games, most nights the big guys are contributing. That's just expected."
ABOUT THE PREDATORS (47-33-14, 37-36 O/U): After mustering just one point (a goal) in Nashville's seven-game series with Anaheim, Fisher has erupted for four tallies and two assists against San Jose. Speaking of the first round, the Predators must repeat the feat of winning Games 6 and 7 should they wish to reach the conference final for the first time in franchise history. Nashville needs more out of Filip Forsberg, who had 33 goals in the regular season but has mustered just two in the playoffs and is a staggering minus-8 in the series.
* Sharks are 5-0 in their last 5 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game.
* Predators are 1-5 in their last 6 games following a loss of 3 or more goals.
* Over is 4-0-3 in Sharks last 7 overall.
* Over is 3-0-2 in Predators last 5 overall.
* Sharks are 1-8 in the last 9 meetings in Nashville.

Two-thirds of young women suffer sexual harassment at work, survey finds
The TUC said its study showed the problem was worse for younger women (library image)
Telegraph Reporters
The level of sexual harassment in the workplace is "shameful", with women being subjected to unwelcome jokes, verbal advances, suggestive remarks and even demands for sexual favours, a report has found.
The TUC, the trade union, said its study showed that the problem was worse for younger women, with almost two-thirds of 18 to 24-year-olds saying they have suffered sexual harassment at work.
A survey of 1,500 women found that a third had been subjected to unwelcome jokes, while one in four received sex-related comments about their body or clothes.
One in four had received an unwanted touch and one in eight said someone had tried to kiss them.
How many times do we still hear that sexual harassment in the workplace is just a bit of 'banter'? TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady
The TUC said sexual harassment at work took many forms, from suggestive remarks, jokes about a colleague's sex life and circulating pornography, to inappropriate touching, hugging or kissing, and even demands for sexual favours.
In most cases, the perpetrator was male, with nearly one in five women saying it was their line manager, or someone with direct authority over them.
Four out of five women who said they experienced sexual harassment did not tell their employer, fearing it would affect their work relationships, hit their career prospects or they simply were too embarrassed to talk about it.
Frances O'Grady, the TUC general secretary, said: "How many times do we still hear that sexual harassment in the workplace is just a bit of 'banter'?
"Sexual harassment is undermining, humiliating and can have a huge effect on mental health. Victims are often left feeling ashamed and frightened. It has no place in a modern workplace, or in wider society.
"Employers must be clear they have a zero tolerance attitude to sexual harassment and treat any complaint seriously. It's a scandal that so few women feel their bosses are dealing with the issue properly."
Are you being harassed at work?
Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, which helped with the report, said: "Many people would like to think that workplace sexual harassment is a thing of the past. In reality, it is alive and well, and having a huge impact on tens of thousands of women's lives.
"These findings reveal the shameful extent of the problem and the reality of the touching, unwanted advances and inappropriate comments women find themselves confronted with while simply trying to do their jobs.
"Employers need to take urgent action to tackle the problem."

Divorcee sues top law firm after taking out 'crippling' loan to pay for legal fight with husband


IT had been quite a number of years since I'd set foot on Arkle, one of the great hills of Sutherland. Generally linked with its close neighbour Foinaven, the two hills once had racehorses named after them by the Duchess of Sutherland. Arkle the horse went on to become one of the greatest ever steeplechasers.
My previous ascent of Arkle had been towards the end of the foot and mouth crisis of 2001 when Scotland's landowners and managers had erected signs all over the place telling folk to keep out. Scotland's hills were 'closed'.
I'm very wary of using such terms as 'open' and 'closed' when it comes to describing mountains because you can't, practically or legally, 'close' a mountain. Even in the pre-Land Reform (Scotland) Act days the public had a de facto right of access to Scotland's hills and mountains and the access signs which adorned the countryside during the F&T crisis were merely advisory, however forcefully they were worded. Terms which suggest landowners can 'close' a hill or 'open up' a wild area tend to slip into hillwalkers' parlance far too easily and lead to the perception that the public has to rely on the landowners' altruistic tendencies for access rather than recognise such access as a time-honoured right.
On my previous visit I called at the Estate Office in the tiny hamlet of Achfary where a very pleasant lady told me I could climb the hills provided I stuck to some designated routes, disinfected my boots and made myself familiar with the Comeback Code. Discomfortingly aware that this was the first time in my life I had asked permission to walk the hills of my own country I stomped off from the parking area between Loch Stack and Loch More.
This time permission was not required. Chaffinch song from the trees overhead worked its magic and the view of Ben Stack across the waters of its loch had me reaching for my camera. From the winding path a great rising escarpment of Cambrian quartzite stretched to the west culminating in what appeared to be a flat-topped stony wedge, the eastern summit slopes of Arkle, or Arcuil, a Corbett at 787m.
Many years ago I had climbed Arkle along with its two near neighbours, Foinaven and Meall Horn, a long and rough outing that took about 12 hours. Today, I decided I was going to be more respectful and climb Arkle on its own. This was, after all, the best viewpoint of these three far-flung northern Corbetts.
Arkle's finest feature is its magnificent ridge that sweeps gracefully round the lip of its east-facing corrie, Am Bathaich, connecting its two summits. This high quartzite walkway narrows appreciably in places, with steep drops on either side, before rising to the stony summit and a wonderful viewpoint. Below your feet a rosary of mountain tarns drop down towards Rhiconich and beyond them quartzite slopes rise to the long curvaceous ridge of what is probably the finest mountain in this empty quarter of Sutherland – Foinaven. I thought I'd keep that for another day.
Route: Follow the private road past the house at Airdachuilinn to the locked bothy at Lone (GR309422). Beyond the bothy the path splits. Take the left branch as it follows the course of the Allt Horn through an old pinewood. Beyond the woods the path zig-zags steeply uphill and enters a pass between the E slopes of Arkle and the SW slopes of Meall Horn. Leave the path about a mile after Lone and initially climb steep heather slopes interspersed with bands of rock. Continue up the rough stony slopes to the flat plateau of the S summit (757m). Descend W to the narrow ridge that sweeps round the high corrie of Am Bathaich and follow its crest to the 787m summit of Arkle. Return by the same route.

Home/Movie/Five Comfort Movies That Can Relax and Uplift Your Mood Instantly
Five Comfort Movies That Can Relax and Uplift Your Mood Instantly
Glance | Published on January 19, 2023
Comfort films are the ones that people watch when they are sad, sick, feeling blue, having a rough day, or when the world around them is falling apart.
We all have a list of relaxing films that we love and that help us de-stress. After having a bad day or week at work, we usually turn to that one film that brings us joy and peace. There are some movies we admire, and there are a few that we need, and typically feel-good films fulfill that desire, and so do "chill movies" with lighthearted and relaxing plots. Here are some comfort movies that can unwind you and uplift your mood instantly.
Clueless (1995)
The 90s iconic teen flick—Clueless is a timeless classic. The story revolves around Cher Horowitz, the fashionista of Beverly Hills, with a giant phone and exceptional skills in bubblegum-pulling. This super stylish valley girl's one-liners are still popularly in use even two decades later. And that's not all, Cher's bold social commentary and impeccable wardrobe are still stealing hearts.
Amélie (2001)
This colorful, warm movie is all about being kind to yourself and your community and acknowledging and enjoying the little things in life. The movie is about a shy Amélie who works as a waitress and loves dwelling in her imaginary world. Amélie is reluctant to try things outside her comfort zone, but once she steps out, her acts of kindness start lighting up the moods of almost all the people she comes in touch with.
Before Sunset (2004)
Before Sunset induces peak relaxation, but the film is not free of emotional highs and lows. The much-awaited reunion between Jesse and Celine illuminates the screen every second. The calming conversation between Jesse and Celine, discussing their love-life complications, awkward moments, and unhealed wounds while walking through Parisian streets, is a complete delight.
My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
This animated film by Hayao Miyazaki features several comfort foods, but the most soothing aspect of this film is that it takes us back to our joyous childhood. The film is set in 1950s rural Japan, and it tells the story of two girls who try to distract themselves from the grief of their mother's ailment by exploring the house they recently moved in and the neighboring woods. In the woods, they run into magical creatures who unveil all the mystical elements that surround their house.
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)
Poppy, the protagonist, is an optimistic and cheerful individual. Her personality is like a ray of sunshine in a dark, gloomy world, and no one can dim her sincere enthusiasm and love for life. Poppy's cheerfulness is infectious, and even when she faces hardships and misery, she chooses to stay resilient. This wholesome character's positivity is heroic and will certainly uplift your mood.
If you wish to delight yourself through cinematic therapy after a bad day, these films are your perfect cure.

Q: Configuring Video Capturing Open CV In my program, I am using the video capture function to read a video from file and display it onto a window. I am successfully displaying the video, but the video is in slow motion and full screen. The issue is that I am trying to set the window to a custom dimension and trying to play the video at a normal pace, but neither attempts are working. Here is my code:
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(self.path)
cap.set(3, 530)      # width
ret = cap.set(4, 450)      # height

try:
    while(cap.isOpened()):
        ret, frame = cap.read()
        frame = cv2.flip(frame, 0)
        gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
        cv2.imshow('frame', gray)
        cv2.waitKey(20)
        if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
            break
except:
    print("error")

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
cv2.waitKey(1)
cv2.waitKey(1)
cv2.waitKey(1)
cv2.waitKey(1)

Any ideas on how to fix my program to play at a normal pace and to follow the dimensions that I am trying to impose?
Update: I have tried both suggested methods as shown in the following code:
flag = cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL
       cv2.namedWindow('winName', flag)
   cap = cv2.VideoCapture(self.path)

   cap.set(3, 500)
   cap.set(4, 500)
   try:
       while(cap.isOpened()):

           ret, frame = cap.read()
           frame = cv2.flip(frame, 0)   # bart
           gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
           cv2.imshow('winName', gray)
           if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
               break

   except:
       print("error")

   cap.release()
   cv2.destroyAllWindows()
   cv2.waitKey(1)
   cv2.waitKey(1)
   cv2.waitKey(1)
   cv2.waitKey(1)

However, the program is still not functioning as sizable and is not playing back the video at a normal rate. Any other ideas?

A: The speed of the playing video is based on cv2.waitKey() (in another word the delay) that you use. I think if you remove the cv2.waiKey(20) it should be played in normal speed (the waitkey() in the if loop is enough).
If you want to change the size of the window that is showing the video, you should first create a window, than show the image in it.
cv2.namedWindow('winName', flag)

the flag can be cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL so you can change the size, or cv2.WINDOW_AUTOSIZE so the window fits the video size (when you don't use namedWindow() the flag is automatically set to cv2.WINDOW_AUTOSIZE so you cant change the size). Than Show your frame in it
cv2.imshow('winName', gray)

4-year-old calls 911 after being trapped in hot car with 6 other children: Police
A Maryland toddler called 911 after being trapped inside a hot car with six other children in a shopping mall parking lot, officials said.
Dispatchers received a 911 call on Saturday afternoon "from a child indicating he and six other children were inside a car unattended and hot," according to the Charles County Sheriff's Office.
Using GPS and other means, the child was able to give the 911 operator the location of the vehicle at the St. Charles Towne Center, police said.
Deputies who arrived on scene found seven children inside the car with the windows rolled up and the car turned off.
Officers found the children to be "scared" and "sweaty," according to ABC Virginia Affiliate WJLA.
The children inside the car were all between the ages of 2 and 4 years old, police said. A 4-year-old was the one who called 911, WJLA reported.
The driver of the car, a 37-year-old woman, arrived at the vehicle about 10 minutes later, police said.
Police said the woman, who is the mother of two of the children and babysitting the others, was inside the mall for at least 20 minutes shopping.
The woman instructed the children not to leave the vehicle, authorities told WJLA.
The woman was charged with confinement of children inside a motor vehicle. Her name was not released due to the nature of the crime and to protect the victims, police said.
Police referred the case to the Charles County State's Attorney's Office for possible additional charges.
Social services is assisting in the investigation, officials said.

Aug. 2, 2011 -- Far too many healthy Americans are undergoing heart screening tests, which can lead to unnecessary and potentially dangerous treatments. That's according to an investigation appearing in next month's Consumer Reports.
In a survey of more than 8,000 subscribers, nearly half (44%) of those without major heart risk factors or symptoms reported having a screening test such as an electrocardiogram, exercise stress test, or ultrasound of the carotid arteries.
These tests, which are done to identify blockages, are not recommended for the vast majority of healthy people without symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain or shortness of breath.
That's because interventions like angioplasty to clear blocked arteries may do more harm than good in this group, Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center Director John Santa, MD, MPH, tells WebMD.
"We know that obstructions caused by plaque in the arteries are actually very common, even in young, healthy adults," Santa says. "While these tests are very appropriate in people with symptoms, they clearly lead to the overuse of invasive treatments in people who do not have symptoms."
He adds that although heart screening is being overused, interventions proven to lower heart attack and stroke risk, such as controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, are being underused.
About 600,000 angioplasties with or without stents are performed in the U.S. each year at a cost of more than $12 billion.
In an analysis of 500,000 procedures published last month, researchers judged almost half of the angioplasties performed in people with few or no symptoms to be either questionable or inappropriate.
The use of angioplasty among Medicare recipients has increased by 300% over the last decade.
Santa says the push to test and treat with angioplasty stems from the outdated notion that heart disease is just a 'plumbing problem' that clearing the blocked plumbing, or artery, will fix.
"We now know that heart disease is also a clotting problem," he says. "Plaque could sit in the arteries for many, many years without causing a problem, but an (artery-blocking) clot can form very quickly."
Angioplasty with stents can actually cause clotting, and that is why the procedure may increase the risk for heart attacks and strokes in people without heart symptoms, says Kimberly Lovett, MD, of the San Diego Center for Patient Safety at the University of California, San Diego.
The Consumer Reports investigation targeted direct-to-consumer advertising and marketing of high-tech heart tests by medical device manufacturers, hospitals, medical centers, and doctor groups as a particular concern.
One ad cited in the Consumer Reports report run by an Austin heart hospital read "Find a new way to tell Dad you love him. Show your love with a HeartSaver CT."
In an editorial published earlier this year in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Lovett wrote that the direct-to consumer ads exploit patient fears, and she called on the FDA to regulate them.
"When the medical technical revolution started we believed that the more testing we did the better off patients would be, and if we found something abnormal we should act on it," she tells WebMD. "We now know that acting on abnormal results can lead to harm."
The Consumer Reports report cites the web site Track Your Plaque, which promotes heart CT scans with the claim that "the old tests for heart disease were wrong -- dead wrong."
Santa says nothing could be further from the truth.
"The tests and interventions that we have known about for decades clearly work well and make a huge difference in terms of preventing heart disease," he says.
The Consumer Reports report lists six proven strategies for lowering heart risk that could save millions of lives.
Get your blood pressure checked at least once a year and treat high blood pressure aggressively.
Have your cholesterol tested and treat high levels with lifestyle modification and medication, if necessary.
Lose some weight. People who are overweight or obese can lower their risk of heart attack and stroke by losing extra pounds.
Have blood sugar levels tested if you have risk factors for diabetes and control blood sugar if you have the disease.
Stop smoking. The American Heart Disease estimates that more than 3 million heart attacks and 1 million strokes could be prevented over the next three decades with effective smoking cessation.
Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking low-dose aspirin if you have heart disease risk factors.
"Extensive cardiovascular testing is appropriate for many patients, but these tests should not be done routinely in people without symptoms and they should not be marketed to the public," American Heart Association president Gordon Tomaselli, MD, tells WebMD.

Koizumi Wins Postal Reform Battle in Japan
14 ေအာက္တိုဘာ၊ 2005
Japan's prime minister has scored a huge political victory after three decades of calling for reform of Japan's cash-rich postal system, which has long been a source of wasteful government spending. Friday's passage of postal reform legislation may now allow Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to focus on pressing domestic and diplomatic issues that have been pushed to the sidelines.
Japan's upper house of parliament, which rejected the postal privatization bills two months ago triggering national elections, did an about-face on Friday.
Upper House president Chikage Ogi announcing that the package of bills has passed by a vote of 134 to 100.
It was a huge reversal from August. At that time, 22 members of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's own Liberal Democratic Party failed to support the package.
On Friday, there was only one such dissenter among the governing ranks. The others were cowed back into the fold after the September 11th election, which was seen as a resounding public mandate for Mr. Koizumi and his pet project of postal privatization.
Mr. Koizumi on Friday called the legislation the first big step towards reforming Japan's economy.
The prime minister says a miracle in the political world has been realized thanks to those who supported him and pulled him up from the bottom. He says he is grateful to his supporters from the bottom of his heart.
At present, Japan Post runs 25,000 post offices and has some three trillion dollars in assets. The pool of money has served as a giant source of government spending, sometimes resulting in corruption scandals and inflating government debt.
The new law will, starting in 2007, gradually privatize and split Japan Post into a number of companies including a mail delivery service, a savings bank and a life insurance company.
Mr. Koizumi has called for postal privatization through his decades of public service. With his pet project accomplished, he is now expected to have more time for other pressing issues, such as reform of a health care system that has to deal with a rapidly aging society.
The prime minister may also now pay more attention to diplomacy. He has generally been given low marks in that area since taking office in 2001, and while he was distracted by postal reform, relations with Japan's neighbors, especially China and South Korea, have deteriorated significantly.

Why We're Switching to an American Cap & Gown Supplier
Graduation Resources / By Homeschool Diploma
We have a new, American supplier for our Caps and Gowns. We've made this change for both moral and practical reasons, and I'd like to explain how I reached this decision and how it may affect your purchases from us!
Our previous regalia supplier provided a beautiful product at a good price. Quality is very important to us, so we were proud to offer such an attractive product to the homeschooling community! But over the past few years I've had increasing concerns over the connection to China: first morally, because of China's "human rights abuses", and then also practically, because of supply disruptions and unpredictability.
The Chinese Government Commits and Supports Unspeakable Evil
The news coming out of China is very distressing. I read of religious persecution and genocide, of brutal forced abortions and organ harvesting, of mass surveillance and authoritarian repression of individual liberties. And I hear of how China funds and supports the unfathomable evil of the North Korean government, which demands worship of its citizens, intentionally starves its rural population and publicly executes dissidents.
I read and hear these things, and I know that the state-run Chinese economy is the power source behind these atrocities. I don't pretend to think that America is without its faults and flaws, but I know I don't want to support this brutal repression of the Chinese and North Korean people. Yes, my decision to stop buying and selling Chinese-made regalia is "a drop in the bucket"… but what is all the water in a bucket, if not many individual drops? If I have only one drop, I want to put it in the bucket of liberty and justice, not repression and evil.
A China-Based Supply Chain is Unpredictable and Risky
Besides the moral concerns with the Chinese government, I've also had growing practical concerns over the stability of our supply chain. A Chinese invasion of Taiwan, and an ensuing war (or war-by-proxy) between America and China, would immediately cut off our source, and we'd be scrambling to find a new supplier along with the rest of the graduation industry.
And even if relative peace continues between the U.S. and China, there are still many risks to a far-flung supply chain that's affected by "Zero-Covid" lockdowns, congestion at ports, and rising fuel costs. Our business model requires us to have more than a year's supply of regalia on hand in advance of the graduation season so that we can guarantee a consistent product across many group orders. To ensure your graduates stand tall on their big day, we must ensure we have a reliable supply.
We Believe the Best Solution is a USA-Based Supplier
Our new supplier is the only company making Caps & Gowns in the USA with USA-made fabric. These gowns do not have quite the same impressive feel of the Chinese-made product – mainly because the fabric is not as heavy. However, I'm confident that this is the right move despite the lighter-weight fabric. One of our core values states, "We believe people have intrinsic dignity as humans, and should always be treated with great respect." A USA-based supply chain removes many questions about how the product is made and who it supports, while also ensuring long-term reliability in the face of geopolitical uncertainty.
What this Change Means for You
If you're concerned about how this change will affect your order(s), please contact us! We would love to work with you to help make it a smooth transition.
For groups who are setting up a Custom Graduate Package: to ensure we have enough matching caps & gowns for your group, we will automatically be using the new, USA-made regalia for your group's orders. If you want everyone to have a consistent, matching look on stage, every graduate will need to purchase a new cap & gown set (regalia from previous years won't match).
If you're ordering a Cap & Gown for yourself (not with a group), or ordering a quantity of Caps & Gowns for multiple students: you may choose our new, USA-made gowns or our Clearance China-made gowns, if we still have the size(s) you need in stock.
Again, please contact us if you have questions or concerns about this change!

One-third of the megasites in TVA territory are in the Golden Triangle region.
Since 2005, the Golden Triangle Development LINK has submitted three properties for certification by TVA and McCallum-Sweeney. The invitation-only program allows communities to submit shovel-ready industrial sites for a rigorous review by McCallum-Sweeney site selectors and development experts.
A process that on average takes two years to complete, the GTR LINK certified each of its megasites half that time.
Now home to Steel Dynamics Incorporated, the Lowndes County Megasite was the first to be certified in 2006. Immediately following that certification was the Crossroads Megasite that now houses PACCAR Engine Co.
While the TVA-McCallum Sweeney program was put on hold, a new site was developed in Clay County. While not eligible for certification at the time, the same standards were used to develop the Prairie Belt Powersite. Less than one year after it hit the market, it became home to Yokohama Tire Manufacturing Mississippi in West Point, Mississippi.
Most recently, the Infinity Megasite was unveiled as the region's third certified megasite. This site, with all the added benefits of surrounding infrastructure development and experience, is perhaps the most valuable megasite in the region's arsenal.
Not all sites are created equal. Only the best are created in the Golden Triangle.
Is your business GTR Megasite material?

Craigslist may have a peace sign as part of its logo, but the war over its data continues. As TechCrunch reported it would yesterday, 3Taps has today filed a countersuit against Craigslist in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, responding point by point to Craigslist's allegations of copyright infringement and further levelling counter-accusations at Craigslist of uncompetitive and antitrust behavior. We've embedded the full suit below.
Craigslist has been suing 3Taps and another company, PadMapper, over the use of Craiglist's listings data in 3Taps' API, with PadMapper named in the suit for being a user of that API.
So far, it's only 3Taps named in the counterclaim, but TechCrunch understands that this could potentially change, as there are a number of companies that have been issued with cease and desist letters by Craigslist. One that has talked to TechCrunch noted that if it gets named in Craigslist's suit, it will consider joining the counterclaim.
This story began life as some startups innovating on the fact that Craigslist data is freely searchable on Google but is notoriously difficult to navigate, and then took a proprietary turn when Craigslist started to crack down on them using its data. Now it has reached a decidedly legal juncture.
While several of the smaller companies that were issued with C&Ds by Craigslist simply shut down operations, 3Taps has taken a different route.
"The issue here is who gets to use exchange related data – product descriptions and prices – in a vital online marketplace. By allowing search engines to capture this information, Craigslist is making it publicly available in an attempt to drive users to its site, yet refuses to accept the consequences: consumer-driven innovation," Greg Kidd, the founder and CEO of 3Taps, said in a statement. "That public data could be leveraged to spur innovation that will render markets more efficient and create better experiences for consumers. But Craigslist would prefer to stymie any potential competition at the expense of its users.
The vast majority of postings on Craigslist aren't going to be covered by copyright anyway. For something to be copyrighted, it has to have at least a "modicum of creativity." My Craigslist posting about how I have a chair for sale for $25 (OBO) is not at all creative. And even if there's a minority of posts that are creative, the copyright in those posts belongs to the people who wrote them, not Craigslist.
Craigslist might be trying to claim that their terms of service require posters to sign their rights over to Craigslist, but that's highly unlikely to be held a valid transfer of rights by a court.
Basically, there's not much of a copyright case there for Craigslist.
From what we understand, Craigslist now has a 20-day period to respond to the countersuit, with a possible month extension to that.

15 years ago, perfume lover Michelle Ascence took her passion to a different level by formulating her own perfumes; she then decided to join bazaars to offer her creations, hopping from one bazaar to the other, dragging boxes and boxes of perfumes to sell.
15 years after and with all that sheer passion, enthusiasm, and hardwork, not to mention heartaches and failures in between, Michelle built a local fragrance empire: ZEN ZEST; from its humble beginnings in bazaars, Zen Zest went on to be one of the most successful consumer fragrance brands with products ranging from fragrance (home and body), body care, aromatherapy, and home.
Zen Zest celebrates this 2016 this year and here's a throwback featuring their classic products and customer favorites!
So here are the top customer favorites from Zen Zest: Tangerine EDT, a classic citrus sent, Aromatherapy roller ball oils for that zen feeling everywhere, luxuriously rich and perfumed body scrubs, and home fragrances.
Those are my favorites too and on top of that, I also love their aromatherapy home sprays (most especially sleep!), Indigo and Coral EDT, and hand wash.
If you're new to the brand, take this list with you before you go shopping!
For more information about Zen Zest's products, please visit ZEN ZEST on Facebook.
I never have any Zen Zest perfumes. Maybe it's time to try this brand na.
I finished up countless bottles of their tea tree oil and lately they've launch their own tea tree soap...too bad they discontinued their VCO (I super love it but it breaks my heart). Mom also uses their linen spray.
Zen Zest is awesome. Their products are affordable, available everywhere, packaged nicely, and do not smell cheap at all.
i have stocked of zen zest hand wash at my office and it is good.definitely will try their perfume line.
hmm.. curious about Aromatherapy roller balls..
My mom loves their home fragrances. She even bought all of its scents. HAHAHA.
i like the their VCO (spray type) it replaced my ordinary lotion and it is not sticky at all it even helped my skin more moisturized and soft.
i first tried the cabinet atomizer as i received one from your beauty loot received years ago.

Jodi Fralick tops NCAA DIII in stolen bases per game
Posted: Jul 21, 2010
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The NCAA has honored graduated senior catcher Jodi Fralick (WOBURN, Mass./Woburn) as the statistical leader in stolen bases per game for the 2010 season. Fralick swiped 43 bags in 47 attempts this past season at a rate of 1.1 stolen bases per game.
The senior finished her career with 90 stolen bases, becoming the all-time Lesley leader in stolen bases after passing the former record of 70.
Fralick shattered her personal best in successful stolen bases this season after recording seven, 13, and 27 stolen bases in her first three seasons. Her season high came on March 11 in a loss to Wesleyan when Fralick stole three bases.
As a team, the Lynx ranked fourth in all of NCAA DIII with an average of 3.0 stolen bases per game.
In her senior season, Fralick led the Lynx to a 26-13 mark with a 15-1 record in-conference. Lesley earned the #1 seed going into the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Tournament and won their third straight conference title. The Lynx earned a bid into the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament for the second year in-a-row.

U-Box
A.M. Carty and the U-Haul Trailer Man
WWII veteran L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife Anna Mary Carty Shoen co-founded U-Haul in 1945 and created the do-it-yourself moving industry. They shared the hard work and put every spare cent they had into their fledgling company.
Long days, late nights
U-Haul co-founders L.S. and Anna Mary with their infant son on the Carty family ranch in 1946.
L.S. worked 16-hour days, maintaining and repairing trailers at existing dealerships up and down the West Coast. Many nights he would work until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m., then push on to the next location. His late-night work attracted the police. Many times he had to explain that he was authorized to work on U-Haul trailers in the middle of the night. Most nights on the road, he slept in his car to save on expenses.
Anna Mary ran the business office, putting in six to eight hours a day, in addition to raising a family. She kept the books, compiled and sent out weekly reports, received rental income from the dealerships and mailed out dealer commission checks, which she signed A.M. Carty. Anna Mary often traveled with L.S. While L.S. was out working on a dealer's trailers, Anna Mary would be inside doing the books.
"Big wheel" and the trailer man
This photo of U-Haul co-founders L.S. and Anna Mary Carty Shoen was taken at their home in the early 1950s.
To those early dealers, L.S. was "Sam the Trailer Man," an overworked employee, and many assumed that A.M. Carty was the "big wheel" executive in Portland, Ore. Many dealers thought L.S. was unusually loyal to his employer and some even tried to hire him away from U-Haul.
Fortunately Sam the Trailer Man remained loyal to A.M. Carty. And for 70 years, millions of North American families have benefited from their hard work and vision.
Husband-and-wife teams are critical to the success of many businesses, especially small businesses.

2020 Primary
Primary 2020: Who's Running, Who's Testing the Political Waters in N.H. & Elsewhere
New Hampshire Public Radio | By The Exchange
For months now, speculation has been growing about who will run in the Democratic and Republican Presidential primaries, fueled by politicians' visits to such states as New Hampshire and Iowa. The list of potential Democratic contenders appears long and includes Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro, and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachussetts. Only a few Republicans who have made names for themselves as critics of President Trump appear on the list so far as possible opponents of Trump, including Ohio Governor John Kasich. Join us for a preview of the 2020 primary contest.
Anna Brown - Director of Research and Analysis, Citizens Count, a non-partisan non-profit organization promoting civic engagement. Visit their election page, which includes profiles of all state/federal candidates in NH
Chris Galdieri - Associate Professor of Political Science at St. Anselm College.
Brianne Pfannenstiel - Politics reporter at the Des Moines Register. Pfannenstiel writes that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who launched an exploratory committee this week, plans to visit Iowa this weekend.
Paul Steinhauser - N.H. Political Reporter. See some of Paul's coverage below.
This show broadcasts Wednesday, Jan. 2, at 9 a.m. and rebroadcasts at 7 p.m.
From Paul Steinhauser:
A Trio of Democratic Hopefuls Visit N.H.: John Delaney, Jay Inslee, Jeff Merkley.
Senator Jeff Flake has made a name for himself as a critic of President Trump's -- and for his involvement in helping to pave the way for an FBI investigation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Some possible Presidential contenders for 2020 made it to N.H. for the fall midterm push, but many did not, according to Terry Shumaker, a Manchester-based attorney and Democratic activist.
Paul is a regular commentator on The Hill.
Among the Democrats who may run for President:
This week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren took a major step toward a possible 2020 run.
Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey has made several visits to N.H.
Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro spoke in February with NHPR's Morning Edition.
Among the Republicans who have been considered possible opponents of Trump's in a GOP primary:
At an event at the N.H. Institute of Politics, Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona called himself an endangered species of conservative: Americanus Never-Trumps, subgenus RINO."
Ohio Governor John Kasich is reportedly weighing his options for a Presidential bid.
Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse has criticized the President on tarriffs, among other policies and matters.
Meanwhile, some Republicans appear worried that the turmoil surrounding the Trump Administration could make President Trump vulnerable in a 2020 bid for re-relection.

Die Odessaer Zeitung war eine deutschsprachige Wochen- und später Tageszeitung, die von 1863 bis 1915 und von 1918/19 in Odessa im Russischen Kaiserreich und in der Ukrainischen Sozialistischen Sowjetrepublik erschienen ist. Sie war bis ins 20. Jahrhundert die einzige deutschsprachige Zeitung im Einzugsgebiet der ländlichen deutschen Siedlungsgebiete im Zarenreich sowie die erste deutschsprachige Wochenzeitung im multikulturellen Odessa. Sie fungierte auch als Sprachrohr der Russlandmennoniten.

Geschichte
Die Zeitung wurde 1863 von Louis Nietzsche, dem Redakteur des Unterhaltungsblattes für deutsche Ansiedler im südlichen Rußland (1846-1863), J. Unterlauf und Alexander Wald gegründet. Trotz finanzieller Förderung durch die Odessaer Stadtverwaltung und verpflichtender Abonnements durch die Gemeindeämter stellten sich beträchtliche finanzielle Schwierigkeiten ein, da die Odessaer Stadtbevölkerung als einige Leserschaft zu klein war für eine rentable deutschsprachige Wochenzeitung. Als weitere Zielgruppe richtete sich die Zeitung daher mit der neuen, nun wichtigsten Rubrik "Koloniales" an die Kolonisten in Neurussland und der Schwarzmeerregion. Die Odessaer Zeitung erfuhr hierauf eine weite Verbreitung bis in den Kaukasus, das Donau- und Wolgagebiet sowie nach Mittelasien und Sibirien. Sie wurde zum Modell für andere Kolonistenzeitungen, indem sie sich neben Lokalnachrichten und der Veröffentlichung von Anzeigen und landwirtschaftlichen Fragen auch der Vertretung der deutschen Interessen widmete. Hauptanliegen waren die Verbesserung der Bildung der deutschen Siedler und der Widerstand gegen die Russifizierungspolitik. Ab 1877 erschien die Odessaer Zeitung täglich und bot in vier Beilagen u. a. Mitteilungen und Abhandlungen zur Ackerbaukultur. Wie alle deutschsprachigen Zeitungen wurde sie 1915 mit Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges verboten. 1918/19 erschien sie kurzzeitig unter der Leitung von Otto Corbach, der als Asien- und Russlandkenner bereits Redakteur des Tsingtauer Wochenblattes gewesen war.

Analysis: Marcelo's brilliance
By Aadel Shaaeri
Aadel assesses how important Marcelo is to Real Madrid
Marcelo's performance in the thrilling second-leg match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the prestigious Champions League was astounding. Although Ronaldo scored most of the goals, along with receiving Man of the Match, Marcelo was a vital pivot in that second clash between the two mammoth clubs.
His partnership with Ronaldo is noteworthy. The Brazilian plays behind the Portuguese legend as a full-back on the left-side, and they have been at the club together for a very long time. Plus, they both speak the same language, ensuring vital good communication. Evidently, their relationship is quite strong.
Using this game as an illustration, Marcelo usually searches for Ronaldo when the former is driving forward, which is what the Brazilian often does in a typical match. Just before the third goal was scored by Los Blancos, he literally passed the ball to his companion just outside the six-yard box, completing the forward's hat-trick in that match. When the last goal was scored, the synced celebration between the two says it all.
David Alaba has long been known as one of the most versatile players in the game, as the Austrian can comfortably play in multiple positons. His current original role is at the left-back position, but he has previously played as a CB, CM and CDM — his preferred side remains left. In the past, he said that he prefers contributing more upfront by playing up there, signalling his positional desires.
Marcelo has shown numerous times that he is highly capable of switching his positional role during a single match many times. During a Los Meringues attack, he is able to transform from a full-back to a forward in the same way a river flows from the source to the mouth, transitioning through the positons in-between smoothly.
This is primarily noticeable when he is the main man holding and driving forward the ball, as it was seen many times during the match against the Bavarians at Santiago Barnebeau. This versatility in a first team player is priceless, especially to a superior football team. His capabilities even reached goalkeeping by clearing the ball on the goal line on that thrilling night.
This makes Real Madrid's left side virtually invincible, as Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo are also playing at that side. These three world-class footballers almost always end up in the team of the year. The intriguing question is: Is Marcelo still indisputably the best left-back on the planet?
