Comilla Victorians Win BPL 2022
Comilla Victorians won their third BPL title after defeating Fortune Barishal by 1 run in the championship match on Friday (February 18) at the SBNCS in Dhaka. Imrul Kayes also won his second BPL title as captain. The final match was full of excitement and twists, giving everyone a real taste of T20 cricket. Because of that, the match was closely contested, with the deserving side emerging victorious. Take a look at the five major moments that contributed to Comilla Victorians' victory in the BPL 2022 final.
Five Major Points of Comilla's Victory in the BPL 2022 Championship Match
Comilla Victorians and Fortune Barishal both were equally favorites to win the BPL season eight. In the end, Imrul Kayes-led Comilla Victorians won a tense match against Shakib Al Hasan-led Fortune Barishal in the BPL 2022 final. Imrul Kayes has now become the second most successful captain in BPL history, with two trophies. Besides, Shakib Al Hasan also lost two BPL finals as captain to Imrul Kayes. Previously in 2019, Imrul Kayes' Comilla defeated Shakib's Dhaka in the sixth season of the BPL championship match. Here are the five key moments from Comilla Victorians' triumph over Fortune Barishal in the championship game.

Sunil Narine's Blazing Knock in the Powerplay
Batting first, the Comilla Victorians sought a flawless start to defend the final match against Fortune Barishal. Sunil Narine was expected to lead the attack for a quick start, and he did not disappoint in the Comilla campaign. Narine went on the attack and completed his fifty in just 21 balls. He led Comilla Victorians to 73/2 after six overs, partnering with Liton Das and Mahmudul Hasan Joy in the powerplay. Sunil Narine struck 57 off 23 deliveries before being Mehedi Hasan Rana's 50th T20 victim.
Moeen Ali's Crucial Knock in the Death Overs
Comilla Victorians' innings fell apart quickly after a sparkling start, as they were reduced to 95/6 at the end of 11 overs. The Victorians needed a solid partnership to put a competitive total on the board. Comilla Victorians scored 151/9 in their allotted 20 overs thanks to English recruit Moeen Ali's determined 38 off 32 balls knock. Moeen stood at the crease until the 20th over, ensuring Comilla a challenging total against Barishal.

Tanvir Islam's Dismissal of Shykat Ali in the Tenth Over
Fortune Barishal were in a strong position when Chris Gayle and Shykat Ali batted together at the crease in the second wicket. They took the total to 79 in 10 overs, and Barishal's campaign was in high gear at that point. However, things tend to shift in Comilla's favour as spinner Tanvir Islam broke the stand in the tenth over. He removed Shykat Ali, who was on a rampage in the final match. Shykat scored 58 runs off 34 balls, and his wicket was crucial in the match's outcome.
Mustafizur Rahman's Incredible Catch to Remove Shakib
After a strong start, Fortune Barishal were reduced to 118/4 at the conclusion of 15 overs owing to some tight bowling by the Victorians bowlers. In particular, the departure of inform Captain Shakib Al Hasan was vital. Because Barishal would have easily chased down the target if Shakib had stayed at the crease to the end. However, he was holed out by Mustafizur Rahman in the point region in the 15th over after attempting an across-the-line shot of a Tanvir delivery. Mustafizur pulled off a spectacular catch.

Sunil Narine's Exceptional 18th Over
Fortune Barishal should have reached the winning target with 18 runs required in 18 deliveries and 5 wickets in hand. West Indian off-spinner Sunil Narine made their pursuit much more difficult. He bowled the critical 18th over for only 2 runs, dismissing DJ Bravo, which was the most important wicket at the stage. After that, Mustafizur and Shohidul bowled the final two overs of the match, ensuring Comilla Victorians' win, with Fortune Barishal's innings ending on 150/8. Sunil Narine's spell ended with a 4-0-15-2, an outstanding bowling effort for the player of the final.
The foreign recruits were expected to be influential factors for Comilla Victorians in the BPL season 8, and that prediction was fulfilled. Overseas players Faf du Plessis, Sunil Narine, and Moeen Ali all made significant contributions to Comilla throughout the campaign. In other words, the Victorians won their third Bangladesh Premier League trophy as a result of their efforts. Sunil Narine's performance in qualifier 2 and the BPL 2022 final was very impressive. He was the deciding factor for Comilla Victorians in both matches. Ace all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan was named the tournament's best player. Overall, the championship match was contested between the best two teams in the competition, and the deserving team won.

Q: how can I seed the ID number into my data when using Rails? I am importing some data from an old Omnis 7 databse via a text file into Rails. I am using text files for this purpose and am using db:seed to port it in.
In my seeds.rb file I have:
Port.delete_all
File.open("db_ports.txt", "r") do |ports|
  ports.read.each_line do |port|
    id, name, un_locode, bunker_surcharge, launch_tariff  = port.chomp.split("|")
    Port.create!(:id => id, :name => name, :un_locode => un_locode, :bunker_surcharge => bunker_surcharge, :launch_tariff => launch_tariff)
  end
end

I would like to have the ID number be the one as was assigned in the other database because Berths have a foreign key that looks to Ports and I would need those to match up with each other.
However, when I last imported my data, this didn't work out as planned and the ID number was not passed in. I'm guessing that I could create empty records which I  would then update with the data but was wondering whether this was possible.

A: You won't be able to set the id in the create! call because id is protected from mass assignment in this way. I believe you can set the id by doing something like:
port = Port.new(:name => name, :un_locode => un_locode, ... )
port.id = id
port.save!

You might want to consider having a separate attribute for the id in the old system though (old_omnis_id, maybe). I've seen this work successfully in the past. You can then use this attribute to join on in the association or, when you add the berths, you can look up the port's id in the new system by the old id.

Q: "unrecognized selector sent to instance" error when adding ViewController I've recently attempted to add a welcome screen to my AR app that works as a Home screen. When the app loads, the user can tap the button and then the app freezes, crashes and displays the code

Texting and emailing have diminished the popularity of the postcard as a way of staying in touch while traveling. But predictions of its demise are premature. Top-selling post cards still are popular, not least because they offer sender anonymity. In Norway, the best seller postcard by far is Seterjentens fridag (Milkmaid's day off), featuring a black-and-white photo taken in 1932. More than two million have been sold.
The real-life story of Seterjentens fridag reflects Norwegian folklore. Milkmaid Anne Skår (1913–1991) was born at Borgund in Lærdal in Sogn og Fjordane County. At age 12, she began assisting at a summer pasture farm. At age 19, she was a qualified milkmaid working one at Galdestølen, on the road in Mørkedalen on the way up to the Hemsedal massif. The work was hard, the days long and the pay low, just NOK 25 ($5.80 at the exchange rate of the time) a month.
Like other farms of the time, Galdestølen literally was on the road, which ran between the cowshed on one side and the farmhouse on the other side. One day, a sow kept at the farm stubbornly stood in the middle of the road, refusing to move. Traffic on the road was negligible, but milkmaid Anne knew that the sow couldn't just stand there, blocking the road. Persuasive calls and pushing didn't budge the animal. So Anne tried the ultimate trick of jumping on its back, to ride it like a horse. A tourist staying in a nearby cabin saw and photographed the curious sight of a milkmaid riding a sow. And the rest is history!
The Galdestølen farm is now abandoned, but its buildings still stand in Sogn og Fjordane County, just to the southeast of Riksvei 52 (National road 52) between Borlaug on the European E16 highway and Breidstolen to the southeast.

This is the concept of a power tower to the next level with the new Gemini unit. It features a world-first double-sided design and an ultra-smooth gas-strut mechanism to automatically raise the unit from its discrete flush-mounting. Socket rotation is offset and the sockets are staggered, resulting in maximally efficient use of the internal space. It would also work well in round boardroom table.
Enhance any domestic or office environment with the sleek metallic finish and striking LED accents of the new Gemini.

New 'Art at the Cafe' Exhibition Showcases Mary Jones' "The Looking Dress"
DES MOINES – East 14th Street might seem like an unlikely place to find artistic inspiration. But that's why it appeals to Mary Jones.
The Indianola artist's walks along the street have inspired a series of map-based collages that she'll display in "The Looking Dress," the next show in the Iowa Arts Council's Art at the Café series. It opens with a reception on May 4 and remains through July 31 at Café Baratta's in the State Historical Building of Iowa.
"What I see are people's daily lives, how they actually live," Jones said. "On East 14th, people aren't dressing to be seen. They're going to laundromats and things like that. They're not always expecting that someone is watching them."
The artist often drove East 14th (Highway 69) on her way to Grand View University, where she taught art and design until she retired in 2017. But over the last few years, she's parked the car here and there to explore the area on foot.
She takes photos. She jots notes in a notebook. She collects newspapers and receipts from cups of coffee she buys along the way, all to add to the layers of her artwork.
She sees. And she is seen, which is partly why eyes started showing up on the clothing of the people in her artwork. That's what inspired the title, "The Looking Dress."
"When I'm looking, I'm also aware of being looked at," she said. "I think that's true of everyone who's out in a public space or common area."
Jones is interested in how neighborhoods form and evolve. She studies how people become attached to their particular patch of the planet, how they personalize their homes or shops.
In Chicago, where she grew up and worked as an illustrator — she's published work in the Chicago Tribune and Playboy, among others — she watched what happened when Interstate 90/94 replaced a smaller road. When the zoning changed, so did the area's mix of businesses and overall character.
Jones didn't learn to drive until she was 40, partly because she relied on Chicago's public transportation but also because she just prefers to walk. Now 67, she says the physical activity frees her mind to think in new directions.
But oddly enough, in her step-by-step quest to find a sense of place, she also found an irony.
"I find I'm thinking about other places," she said. "Everything I see brings up another memory."
What: Art at the Cafe: The Looking Dress exhibition
When: May 4 – July 31 with opening reception May 4, 5-7 p.m.
Where: Cafe Baratta's in the State Historical Building of Iowa, 600 E. Locust Street in Des Moines
Hours: Cafe Baratta's is open 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday-Saturday

What happens when, what to do & where to find me!
Many clients wonder what they can expect during their session, I aim to make it as fun personal & carefree as possible, allowing you to enjoy the experience & treasure the images.
After: a sprinkle of magic & around a week later you'll head back to the studio to view your images & place your order, you're welcome to bring the grandparents – they always love to be involved! We will go over our initial chat and where you expect to hang your images & i'll advise on the best collections for your needs. Payment will be due on the day & around three weeks later your stunning custom art work will be ready to collect & hang.
Children do things in their own sweet time – and we wouldn't have it any other way! On the day of the session we want everyone to enjoy the time together – there is always plenty of time for snacking or a little break for a drink, feel comfortable taking the time you need. I will ask you for help directing a younger child's attention in the right direction as they often react best to those closest to them, however an older toddler or child will usually be more compliant to the unknown person in the equation – sit back and take in a magazine whilst I bring out their character.
When children are in front of the camera in an unfamiliar location with a new person, being the centre of attention can make them uncomfortable – making it take a little longer to get the perfect shot. We only use positive reinforcements & encouragement in the studio & ask you to stay calm & carefree even though it can be frustrating – I assure you I've seen it all before & a stressed coerced child does not happy photographs make.
Newborn sessions are especially longer allowing us to go at baby's pace. Many parents worry that their baby won't 'behave' hates being undressed or will go to the toilet on the props, believe me its a strange day at the office I'm not in the way of some wee or worse & I'm well used to calming small people.
Ah the age old – what on earth do we wear?! everyone wears jeans & a white shirt thats 'right' isn't it? In truth whilst its clean & simple its unlikely you all leave the house in Daz white shirts and pressed denims on a daily basis! Try to go for a look that is representative of you all & fits your personal style. Keep it co-ordinating but not matchy matchty – a great way is to pick a palette of three of four key colours and each choose outfits from there – here's a great PINTEREST board with lots of ideas. Key things are avoiding big prints, logos that will date your images & busy patterns. White outside is also particularly hard to work with. These guys have it spot on – denims with whites & navy & a pop of mustard. For my smaller clients under 18 months I have a fab selection of outfits in the studio to mix in a more styled look.
A newborn studio is a very warm place, please wear light layered clothing to be comfortable. If you have an older child attending for sibling shots it is best to have a second adult who can entertain them or even take the to play as they are done – its very hot and dull for a small busy person.
Arrive with baby in an easy to remove sleep suit & please bring a blanket. Posed images are taken sleeping & it is important to keep baby alert before you travel – a bath can help.
Posing stimulates baby's natural sucking reflexes & can make baby very hungry. Baby will eat more than usual during a session – if you are breast feeding please eat and drink well in the days before your session, if you are bottle feeding or mixed feeding please bring at least one extra feed compared to baby's usual schedule. If baby has a dummy even if only infrequently please bring it with you. New & sealed dummies are kept in the studio just in case & may be used to help soothe baby if required.
I love to incorporate personal items & keepsakes into your images, please bring along any you would like to use – think gifted blankets, special teddies (on the smaller side is better) Have a look through the Facebook galleries for ideas & think where you will hang your images, we will have a chat about your preferred poses & colour schemes to help me plan your session.


Petitions seeking to oust Law Society of Kenya (LSK) officials will not be part of the Special General Meeting (SGM) on Saturday.
The decision to strike out the two petitions seeking to oust LSK President Allen Gichuhi, General Membership Representative Roseline Odede and LSK Chief Executive Officer Mercy Wambua (right) was arrived at on Monday after an LSK Council meeting.
LSK members Edward Waswa and Sylvester Mbithi had sought members' nod to kick the trio out.
Mr Waswa, in a notice of Motion dated August 23, wants the SGM to impeach Ms Wambua.
And in a petition dated August 16, Mr Mbithi argues that both Gichuhi and Odede served LSK Council under the repealed law on diverse periods.
However, Gichuhi explained that the SGM was called for purposes of looking at the draft Law Society of Kenya (General) Regulations 2018, and that it would stick to the agenda.
Gichuhi said if any member was aggrieved and wanted to oust him, then there was a right procedure.
"There are a few disgruntled members who just want to cause distraction in the society," said Gichuhi.
He further explained that under his leadership, LSK had achieved many strides in practice and welfare of members.
While fighting off the ouster bid in Mbithi's petition, Gichuhi said there were a few elements that had started premature campaigns ahead of the 2020 LSK polls.
"I have the power to make ruling on petitions. We met as a council and we resolved that we will not entertain any petition apart from one agenda – to review the draft regulations," said Gichuhi.
The 15,000 membership society will also make consideration on the LSK International Arbitration Centre Legal Audit Report for adoption.
The SGM will also consider two Motions received from the LSK Development and Investment Committee on re-development and construction of a modern office block at LSK headquarters on its Gitanga Road plot.
There is also a Motion to bring the international arbitration centre project to a closure.
Wambua who has a petition hanging over her head, denied the allegations by Waswa terming them fabrications, malicious and defamatory.
She pointed an accusing finger to a web of few clique who are out to cause havoc and confusion within LSK and vowed that she will continue to discharge her mandate.
"I am an employee of the council and any person wishing to remove me from office must follow the Constitution, the Employment and Labour Relations Act and the LSK Human Resource Manuals. As we speak, that procedure has not been followed," said Wambua.
She also clarified on the allegations that she overpaid for the LSK staff medical scheme.
"LSK is obligated to have a medical scheme to cover the principal member, spouse and children for all the staff of the LSK. When we were procuring the medical scheme we realized that some eight employees had been left out and therefore we had to include them in the cover and that is where the sum of Sh441,796 comes in," explained Wambua.
And now the council has instructed Wambua to institute an internal investigations within seven days into the circumstances under which the documents were leaked.
If the internal investigations does not yield any fruits, council instructed Ms Wambua to invite the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to find the culprit.

Founded in 1897, the Collège & Lycée Saint-Charles is located in outstanding settings in Ajoie, in the Swiss Jura Canton. The school, which welcomes young people aged between 10 and 20, stands on the edge of the Allaine, in a tree-lined garden at the foot of the magnificent Château de Porrentruy. Nicknamed the Athens of the Jura, this little town with nearly 7,000 inhabitants is known for its long tradition of education, its openness to the wider world and its vocation of stimulating the thirst for knowledge.
The campus consists of the main building (the former residence of the canons), a school building, a beautiful chapel and the Léon Burrus sports complex. The classrooms, bathed in natural light and enjoying a clear view over the surrounding nature, are an invitation to share knowledge with a critical and curious outlook. During their studies, the 250 students benefit from high-quality teaching, offering them the necessary tools to pursue and forge their pathways in a complex and demanding world.
Founded in 1897, the Collège & Lycée Saint-Charles is a private school recognised by the canton of Jura. It distinguishes itself through a value system inspired by humanism.

I would like to voice my strong opposition to the Del Mar Union School District's (DMUSD) proposed expansion at Torrey Hills Elementary School. We have a serious traffic issue at the corner of Ocean Air and Mariposa that even the District's own consultant acknowledges. With the addition of a 13,000-foot childcare center, the traffic will only worsen.
DMUSD is arriving late to the traffic party. Adjacent to the elementary school there are currently 480 townhouse/apartment units under construction that will increase the traffic and congestion at this critical intersection. It is unconscionable for the District to consider adding even more traffic to this intersection, which will threaten the safety of children and pedestrians.
Some years ago I commissioned a traffic study on my street, Via Mar de Delfinas. As you may realize, traffic is already diverted up Delfinas to reach the school in order to avoid the heavy congestion at Ocean Air and Mariposa. The traffic study, performed by a reputable traffic consultant, showed that the number of car trips on Via Mar de Delfinas were four times the number stipulated in the community plan. Any additional car trips from the Torrey Hills school would have an unacceptable impact on our neighborhood.
The District needs to keep looking: Torrey Hills Elementary School is not the right location for their proposed daycare center.

It's the 22nd of June. Arsenal's summer being "very active" in the transfer market has so far lead to the signing of Carl Jenkinson. And frankly, I'm not convinced that's even a real person. I mean, "Carl Jenkinson?" It has a bit of a "witness relocation" ring to it. What is Arsene playing at? It's almost July! When I play football manager I have all the best players in the world on my team by now! Why hasn't he signed Hazard and Eto'o and a Mech-Godzilla Gary Cahill hybrid already? It's as if Arsene doesn't even know how to play Football Manager!
It's getting to the point where you wonder if he's going to sign anyone at all! But even as the angst and frustration is growing among gooners desperate for new faces to arrive at the Emirates, I've started to wonder; do we really need new signings? Maybe the players needed to win trophies are already playing for Arsenal Football Club. Let's try to remember, that along with all the poor results, this Arsenal side did beat Barcelona, United, Chelsea and Manchester City last season.
Suggesting that we don't need to make a single signing will likely go down like a screen door on a submarine among most supporters. It's impossible to look at what this team has done the past few seasons, late-season collapses included, and not wonder if the entire lot of them should be shipped off to far flung locations. And yet, when I ask fellow supporters on twitter which player in our starting XI needs to be replaced, it's rare that I get any consensus. In fact, there doesn't seem to be one player in the recognized starting XI that supporters aren't willing to stand behind.
Since defense is the area that gets the most attention from Arsenal's critics, let's ask the relevant question: are the defenders at Arsenal good enough to win trophies? I'd suggest that they are. Before you leap from your seat in protest, let's remember that Arsenal allowed the fewest goals from open play in the Premier League. In order to accomplish that feat, you can't be terrible at defending. Let's also remember that Arsenal usually play a high line with most of the team camped in the opposition half. That's exposed our defenders to a fair few counter attacks which are always more dangerous.
Where Arsenal proved themselves to be almost completely incompetent was defending set-pieces. It'd be easy to use that fact as proof that the defenders weren't good enough, but set-piece defending has as much to do with the other six outfield players and the goal-keeper. Arsenal played with four different starting 'keepers last season. One of them was the incompetent Manuel Almunia, and another was the un-retired Jens Lehmann. Lukas Fabianski and Szczesny acquitted themselves fairly well, but the constant change at 'keeper couldn't possibly have helped the team's overall approach to set pieces.
The defense also suffered from the loss of one of our most indispensable players in Thomas Vermaelen. We played essentially the entire 2010-11 season without our best defender, organizer and leader at the back. Not only that, but statistics provided by @orbinho show that Vermaelen is also our best defender at winning headers. Thomas Vermaelen's return to fitness this season will add a true first choice center back to our lineup and immediately improve our performance against set pieces and crosses.
With Vermaelen out, Johan Djourou had to step up and become the leader of the defense. What he did for most of the season was remarkable when you consider that he had never played a full season for Arsenal and was coming off a year-long injury absence. There were times during the season that Djourou looked as good a CB as any in the league. Djourou faded badly at the end of the season but can only improve this upcoming season. If he raises his level, and has the opportunity to play with a more confident partner in Vermaelen, Johan Djourou could prove to be a top quality CB for Arsenal. If Arsenal did sign a Christopher Samba or Gary Cahill, it's entirely possible that neither would start anyway.
With Vermaelen and Djourou as the first choice pairing in the center of defense, Arsenal would be less vulnerable to crosses and long-balls. That also means that Laurent Koscielny, who held his own in his first season in English football, could continue to improve without the pressure of a starting place. As far as third choice CBs go, he would be one of the better ones in the league. That leaves Sebastien Squillaci as fourth choice or perhaps we would be able to promote one of the younger options instead. Regardless, it's unreasonable to expect any team to have a world-class fourth choice center-back.
There's certainly no concern at right-back where Barcary Sagna is the best in the league and while Gael Clichy has shown a penchant for the big mistake, his statistics show that he also one of the best interceptors of the ball in the league. You can't have the best player on the planet at every position and as far as left-backs go, Clichy is among the better ones.
The defense will also be helped by a season without confusion at goal-keeper. Szczesny will presumably begin the preseason as the unquestioned #1 at Arsenal and provide the first real chance for stability at that position. He got some much needed experience last season and now has the chance to prove he's the keeper his reputation suggests. Think about how many points were dropped the last few seasons thanks to unconscionable errors by an Arsenal goal-keeper. Adding a reliable 'keeper changes the entire dynamic of the back four.
So if the Arsenal defense isn't the weak link we've all come to expect, then the question remains whether we have the strength and firepower in front of them to challenge for trophies. Objectively, I'd have to say yes.
In midfield, we have two of the brightest talents in all of Europe. Cesc Fabregas has created more scoring chances than any player in Europe over the last five seasons and creates a chance more frequently than any other player. (Thanks to Opta for those statistics.) Jack Wilshere emerged last season as the all-action, box-to-box midfielder that we thought he might become in a few seasons. It was his first full season in the top flight and he was one of the best players in the league. He's now a full international and proved his talent against Barcelona at the Emirates, when he was the best midfielder on either team. In the upcoming season, we should start to see him add a few goals to his other attributes.
Jack's emergence somewhat relegated Aaron Ramsey to the role of "other" bright young talent at Arsenal. But after a season out with injury Ramsey made his return and showed that he's still headed for success with his performance against Manchester United. Ramsey was pushing for a starting spot before his injury and won't sit idly by watching Jack and Cesc start every match. He'll add competition for places and depth to the squad.
While he's often injured and maligned by some supporters, there's no denying Abou Diaby's talent. When fit and in form he adds a dimension to midfield that few players in the world can offer. I saw him play one game for France this past year where he completely dominated the middle of the park. He's got one season left to prove his worth, but if he can stay fit and get a run of games, then we have another devastating midfield option.
Then there's the issue of Thomas Rosicky. Many expect him to be sold. Many want him to be sold. But let me offer one alternative view on Rosicky. He was out of football for 18 months with injury. No player on the planet is going to come back 100% after that. Many supporters wondered if he'd even play that much this season. Instead, he proved a relatively durable option for us this season and while he turned in some dreadful performances, his better showings were all-too-easily forgotten. He's a player with a terrific work-rate, and he's Cesc's best friend on the team which means he plays a role in keeping our captain happy at the club. Rosicky was a massive talent and showed his abilities before his injury and it's still possible that he could recover the form that made him a star signing after the 2006 World Cup.
I've consistently suggested that defensive midfielder is our weakest position. Alex Song is a quality option but he has yet to prove he can play the position with discipline on a consistent basis. Abou Diaby doesn't seem to have the tackling skills for the position. So that leaves younger players like Emmanuel Frimpong and Craig Eastmond. It's hard to say what they'll offer us at this point and it's pointless to speculate. Behind Alex Song we don't really have a good defensive midfield option at the moment but Johan Djourou or Thomas Vermaelen could theoretically fill the role if needed.
Looking at the midfield as a whole you can see there's plenty of talent. Think about it this way; would you trade Jack or Cesc for any midfielder on United, Chelsea, City or Liverpool? I wouldn't. Alex Song probably isn't the best DM among the top four midfields but he's certainly grown into that level. What it suggests is that we have a first choice midfield trio that's as good or better than any of our domestic rivals.
Finally theres the question of our attack. And this is where I think we can be the best in England. Over the past two seasons, when fit, Robin van Persie has been the best striker in the Premier League. Injuries are always a worry with the Dutchman but the second half of this season he hardly missed a match and hopefully that's a sign of new-found durability.
Samir Nasri turned in half of a spectacular season and then faded into mediocrity as the season wore on. But the flashes he showed for the first half of the season suggest that he can be as effective on the left or right side of our attack as any player in the league. He's another player that's still developing and adapting to the English game and I think he could put all his skill together this season and improve on his 2010-11 performance. Losing him now would be crushing. Not because we couldn't replace him, but because we have no idea how long it would take for his replacement to settle in. Even if we lose him next summer for nothing, if he helps us win a trophy this season, it's more than worth the lost transfer fee.
RVP and Nasri are clearly the stars of our attacking trident, but Andrei Arshavin, Theo Walcott and Marouane Chamakh all have the ability to be world-class forwards. We didn't see the Russian's best last season but he still provided substantial assists and goals, including his unforgettable winner against Barca. Should he find his best form again, there are few players in the Premier League of his caliber.
Theo started the season on a goal-scoring tear before injury on international duty somewhat derailed him. However, it seems clear that he's starting to turn the corner from a one-dimensional winger, to a more refined attacker and reliable finisher.
Marouane Chamakh caught a lot of criticism for the second half of his season. But I would respond to that criticism by saying "what second half?" Truth is, he hardly played. He was never going to overtake RVP in the pecking order and Wenger tried to get Nik as much playing time as possible to keep him from abandoning the club this summer. (Didn't work.) Arsenal were kept afloat by Chamakh's goals in the first half of the season and that's saying a lot considering it was his first season in England. He adds fantastic hold-up play and aerial ability to our attack and those are qualities we haven't had since Adebayor departed. There's no reason to suspect he won't be a major success at Arsenal. He was fantastic for Bordeaux in the Champions League the season before he joined us and I think we'll see consistency from him this season.
Manchester City have Tevez (for the moment), United have Rooney, Chelsea have Torres and Drogba (for the moment) and we have Van Persie. I'd say we're doing just fine there. As for Nasri, Walcott, Arshavin and Chamakh, find me four options on those other three clubs that are equally potent. I'm not sure you can?
When you look at our team from goal-keeper, to defense, to midfield, to attack, there's enough talent to win a title. There's not one player in our recognized starting XI that I'd consider a liability. There's not one piece of the puzzle missing. Not in terms of skill or ability. But there's clearly a missing piece when it comes to mentality. And that's what makes this team such an enigma. How to you fix a squad that's brimming with world-class talent but can't hold a lead, can't defend set-pieces, and can't perform under pressure? It's a conundrum that Wenger must solve. From top to bottom, the Arsenal starting XI is as good or better than any of the three teams that finished above them last season. The talent is clearly there and Wenger has every right to feel good about the group of players he's assembled. But they need to find some mettle before all that talent proves worthless.
I'd argue that the most important transfer moves Wenger could make this summer would be keeping Cesc and Nasri. They are known quantities and difficult to replace. Even if we sign top players to replace them, there's no guarantee of what they will contribute, especially early in the season when we have so many crucial fixtures. But other than that, do we need signings? Of course we do. We need new blood. Every team does. And considering the mood at the club right now, some change is required. But when you really examine the players at Arsenal right now, and when you look at some of the transfer targets with whom we've been linked, I think you can say we already have better options within the squad. The fact remains, that if we didn't sign a single player, there's ample talent to win a trophy at Arsenal right this moment. Which makes the fact that they've failed so spectacularly the last few seasons all the more frustrating and inexplicable.

Man City Were The Only Top Team To Finnish With More Points This Season Than Last – All The Others Dropped Points And We Still Couldn't Catch Them.Szczesny Is The Only Half Decent Keeper We Have(Fabianski Is Around Long Enough And Still Hasn't Improved And The Least Said About Almunia The Better) Sagna And Vermaelan Are The Only Top Drawer Defenders We Have(The Rest Are Decent Squad Players At Best).We Have A Wealth Of Talent In The Middle Of The Park – But We Still Need Goal Scorers Up Front RVP Is World Class But He Always Picks Up Knocks(How Bad Would The Second Half Of Our Season Have Been If We Didn't Have Him).So YES We Need To Buy And Not Similar To What We Have. We Need To Buy Better.The Rest Of The Teams Around Us Will Buy And Buy Better – We Will Fall Further Behind If We Don't Spend And Spend Well.
I respect that opinion. I dont totally agree but I think you have a good point about our rivals getting better this summer. I think we'll get better simply by getting TV5 back, and natural development for JD20, jack, Ramsey etc.
The fact we conceded the few goals from open play means we most of conceded a LOT of freekicks & corners. Conceding a lot of free kicks and in turn goals from free kicks over a whole season suggest to me that perhaps our `defensive tackling` was simply not good enough for a title winning side.
I`ll accept that not all tackles succeed and not only our defenders conceded them.
If you are habitually poor at defending free kicks, then learn to not give them away. But I feel the performance of the defence is down to management/coaching. So I cannot be too hard on players who were bought to `add` to the squad, suddenly being thrust into 1st team action.
Just my tuppence. Good post BTW.
I follow your logic. I think Vermaelen's return might make a difference there. But we conceded from a far higher percentage of set-pieces than any other side in the league so I'd be interested to see the stats you referenced. I do know we conceded among the most penalties and that's down to poor defending in the box. But also poor team discipline. And not always defender's faults. Think about cesc handball against Sp*rs, rosicky phantom foul at Newcastle etc.
I agree with everything in the post, if it was up to me though, I would buy 1 name player and that is all. Someone who has won a big trophy maybe an Eto'o or Wesley Sneijder. I think what it would do is give the rest of the squad a morale boost and a mental boost signifying that we are here to win.
Eto'o would be my first choice as we can probably expect 1 or 2 top quality seasons from him and he would make a good change with RVP. He has won it all and I feel it will cement Nasri and Cesc's will to stay. Sneijder is also a good option as he is 27, also won it all and will give Nasri some competition and thought of – if I don't re-sign a contract they have a replacement. Sneijdar is also a good replacement as I think Rosicky and Arshavin are 30+ in age so if one does get sold next year it brings no problem.

Charles Leclerc has paid tribute to outgoing Ferrari F1 teammate Sebastian Vettel with a special helmet livery for this weekend's season-ending Abu Dhabi GP.
Charles Leclerc has paid tribute to outgoing Ferrari Formula 1 teammate Sebastian Vettel with a special helmet livery for this weekend's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Vettel heads into his final race weekend with Ferrari at the Yas Marina Circuit following a six-year spell at the Scuderia in which he has claimed 14 victories and finished runner-up in the championship twice.
Leclerc, who has been teammates with Vettel since he earned promotion to Ferrari in 2019, has unveiled a tribute to the four-time world champion with a new helmet scheme for the 17th and final round of the season.
The helmet design is predominantly white as a nod to Vettel's traditional livery, with a red stripe depicting the Monaco flag on the top next to a 'Danke Seb' message.

Having been informed before the start of the season that Ferrari would not be renewing his contract for 2021, Vettel will make the switch to the newly-rebranded Aston Martin squad to partner Lance Stroll.
Speaking ahead of the weekend during the pre-race press conferences on Thursday, Vettel said he is leaving a "very different" Ferrari to the one he joined back in 2015.
"We started off with different people in the lead, the personnel," the German explained. "The atmosphere in the garage is still the same, the spirit remains unbroken.
"It's a shame we didn't achieve what we set out to achieve but there's reasons for the strengths and probably reasons for the weaknesses in the past years. I would say it's still quite a bit different.
"In some things the team has evolved in other things maybe there's still room. Time will tell obviously, Charles has a long time ahead of him with the team, a lot of work.
"We'll see how it evolves but for me the chapter ends here and I'm starting a new one with a different team, which I'm very excited about."
Leclerc rounded out Friday practice in Abu Dhabi eighth in the timesheets, while Vettel was 14th.

Why "recommerce" is the next big thing in fashion
By Rujuta Vaidya 10 July 2019
Renting and shopping for pre-owned fashion is one way to close the loop and reduce the hazardous impact fashion has on the environment. Ahead, Vogue deep dives into the rise of the borrowed closet
There's no denying that there's an emotional aspect to dressing up. It's easy to dismiss a garment as just an object, but the label might dictate how expensive or inexpensive it was, the person who wore it will not just remember it for the price; it will be more about how she felt in it. Did she meet someone special when she took it out, or did the party that she was at turn into one the most special nights ever? Did she wear it to her first day at the job she always wanted? These are the things that make an outfit special.
But will someone else's bag of emotions find room in your closet? Vintage clothing is for the nostalgic, romantic kind yes, but it's also for the conscious consumers. You can't have a conversation about sustainability in fashion without bringing up the resale market. With options for everything from buying pre-owned luxury to renting wardrobes, this is far from the scavenging you're expecting, in that typically quaint store stocked with garments smelling of mothballs. We're talking archival pieces that will hold a place of pride in your closet.
Pre-owned Versace at Farfetch
There's a growing sales model that now supports this movement: Recommerce or reverse commerce refers to the process of selling pre-owned products to consumers who are willing to repair, if necessary, and reuse, recycle and resell them. Renting clothing for special occasions is a concept you might already be familiar with. Maybe you don't want to spend a small fortune on an outfit that will see less than 10 wears in its lifetime, and there's no reason you should feel that pressure. The fashion industry is adding toll on the environment through its careless means of production, but the onus also lies with the consumer. The best way to be sustainable is to stop creating more waste, and not buying that extra item of clothing is ultimately a good choice.
Rent the Runway is a popular choice among many fashion lovers in the United States. With subscription packages ranging across varying costs, a member can borrow anywhere from four to unlimited products from the website in a month. If you love what you borrowed and wish to make it your own, you can simply buy it. Along with offering free shipping, Rent the Runway also uses responsible, non-hazardous dry cleaning, and encourages reuse of plastic bags in which the dry-cleaned clothes are sent.
Vestaire Collective, The RealReal and Farfetch are big names in the luxury resale market. Equipped with an army of experts who authenticate products, a grading system indicative of the wear a garment or accessory has seen, and options to both buy and sell luxury, these websites are almost making shopping current season seem passé. Circularity is important for the millennial consumer and brands who want to survive the market in a time when the fashion economy is being called out for the damage it causes the planet. Taking the greener route is the only smart move to make.
The Real Real, which began out as a start-up, went public late in May this year. Prior to that, the company raised no less than $350 million (~Rs 24 billion) in funding. Luxury e-commerce retailer Farfetch has also stepped up its game, extending its offering of luxury fashion to include pre-owned pieces that go under the tag 'Positively Conscious' on the website. Vogue spoke to Celenie Seidel, senior womenswear editor at Farfetch, about what gives the platform a competitive edge over the others.
How does Farfetch source pre-owned luxury clothes and accessories?
Farfetch partners with an incredible group of boutiques and brands. We do not have physical stock of the products we sell, but instead enable the exchange between these boutiques and brands to customers globally. Farfetch has always had a strong and varied offering of special vintage and pre-owned pieces. We have been able to curate such a wide range of pieces by working with specialists from amazing boutiques across the world, such as D.A.N.G.E.L.O in Italy and Amore in Japan.
How are these evaluated to determine the price?
Our specialist partners are truly experts in their fields, and they validate the product and set the price. Proprietary Farfetch technology enables them to upload stock onto the site, once it has been photographed by our team of experts in one of our four global photography studios.
Who is your customer?
Our customers are fashion lovers. They know the pieces they are looking for, and sometimes come to Farfetch for specialist pieces. Consumers are becoming more comfortable with the online resale market now, thanks to improved trust and verification processes and the ability to offer a range of options across the market. A lot of our consumers have also taken part in the resale market by selling their pieces or buying pre-loved fashion.
Pre-owned Walter Van Beirendonck at Farfetch
What does Farfetch offer that other players in the recommerce market don't?
Farfetch offers an amazing and varied range of vintage pieces onsite. With our boutique partners, we've curated a few specialist archive collections that we've received really great feedback on from our customers. For example, a celebration of some of Rei Kawakubo's most iconic Comme des Garçons pieces to coincide with the Met Gala exhibition in 2017; over 500 pieces of original Gianni Versace, which we launched for sale last year; and our recently launched collection of Walter Van Beirendonck archive pieces.

Q: can't catch Promise queue errors I'm setting up a node app where I have to run a series of asynchronous spawn tasks in order, so I've got a queue system set up.  It runs well when it reaches no errors.  However, it's failing to catch the errors and log them when they do happen.  Here's where I am right now:
function queue(tasks) {
    let index = 0;
    const runTask = (arg) => {
        if (index >= tasks.length) {
            return Promise.resolve(arg);
        }
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            tasks[index++](arg).then(arg => resolve(runTask(arg))).catch(reject);
        });
    }
    return runTask();
}

function customSpawn(command, args) {
    return () => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        const child = spawn(command, args, {windowsVerbatimArguments: true});
        child.on('close', code => {
            if (code === 0) {
                resolve();
            } else {
                reject();
            }
        });
    });
}

The queue is built and executed like this:
myqueue.push(customSpawn('cmd.exe', ['/c', convertpath, filelist[i], '-interlace', 'line', '-chop', croppixels, '-resize', '300', outfile]));
queue(myqueue).then(([cmd, args]) => {
        console.log(cmd + ' finished - all finished');
    }).catch(function(error) {
            console.error(error.stack);
            });

The following error is thrown:
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: undefined is not a function(…)

A: Sorry, I can't quite understand your queue function so I refactored it using Array.prototype.reduce.  This is a standard way to chain things in a compact way.  The following module models your case and will run in node.  It demonstrates how the error handling works.  I assume that you want to abort the whole chain if there is an error?
'use strict';
const insp = require('util').inspect;

const size = 10;
const throwAt = 6;

var template = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,];
var cmds = template.map((_, i) => ({cmd: `cmd ${_}`, args: [`arg1-${i}`, `arg2-${i}`]}));
var queue = [];

// promise factory
function makePromise (command, args) {
  return () => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(_ => {if(command.indexOf(throwAt) > 0) {
      return reject(command);  // whatever is passed here will hit the catch
    }
    console.log(`${command}\t${insp(args)}`);
    resolve()
    }, Math.random() * 1000)
  })
}

// populate the queue
cmds.forEach(c => queue.push(makePromise(c.cmd, c.args)));
// then execute it and catch all errors
queue.reduce((q, p) => q.then(p), Promise.resolve())
  .catch(e => console.log(`error: ${e}`));

You can also add some re-try logic like this...
// promise factory
function makePromise (command, args) {
  return () => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(_ => {
      if(command.indexOf(throwAt) > 0 && command.indexOf('retry') === -1) {
        return makePromise(command + 'retry', args)()
          .then(_ => resolve(), e => reject(e));
      }
      console.log(`${command}\t${insp(args)}`);
      resolve()
    }, Math.random() * 1000)
  })
}

Error propagation
Playing around with this, I noticed that any error thrown inside a a resolve or a reject callback will result in the reject of the calling block being called, passing the error object as the single argument. This means that the error can be thrown rather than just calling reject.  This has the benefit of delivering a stack trace also.
Managing the cascade
By adding a reject callback to each promise in the chain, the error propagation can be managed if needed.  If a reject calback is added however, it must re-throw the error if it needs to be propagated.
Here is a an implementation of these two principles...
function makePromise2 (command, args) {
  return (retry) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if(retry){
      console.log(`throw at ${command}`);
      throw new Error(`sorry, tried twice!`);
    }
    setTimeout(_ => {
      if(command.indexOf(throwAt) > 0) {
/*
        if(retry)   // throwing here will not be handled
          throw new Error(`sorry, tried my best!`);
*/
        return makePromise2(command, args)(true)
          .then(resolve, reject);  // without this it will fail silently
      }
      console.log(`${command}\t${insp(args)}`);
      resolve();
    }, Math.random() * 1000)
  })
}

function Reject (cmd) {
  return function reject (e) {
  console.log(`re-throw at ${cmd.cmd}`);
  throw e;  // if you have a reject callback then you must propagate the error
}}

// populate the queue
cmds.forEach(c => queue.push(makePromise2(c.cmd, c.args)));
// then execute it and catch all errors
// the Reject gives the opportunity to manage the error cascade
queue.reduce((q, p, i) => q.then(p, Reject(cmds[i])), Promise.resolve())
  .catch(e => console.log(`catch...\n${e.stack}`));

Outside spending in campaign's final three weeks tops $300 million
by Peter Olsen-Phillips
In the three final full weeks of an astronomically expensive midterm election, outside groups have spent more than $300 million trying to influence the outcome, a Sunlight analysis of campaign finance disclosures reveals. The waning days of the contest to determine control of Congress saw a growing share of that money coming from anonymous dark money groups.
The spending has been concentrated on a few nail-biter Senate races that could determine control of the chamber — the biggest prize of tomorrow's balloting.
Sen. Pat Roberts' reelection battle in Kansas saw the biggest uptick in interest recently as the national parties and outside committees sense the veteran Republican could lose his seat to independent challenger Greg Orman. The weekly spending in that race continued to climb even as other Senate contests saw a modicum of cooling off.
Recent action in the Sunflower State includes another $1 million investment from Koch-linked Freedom Partners Action Fund and $700,000 worth of negative ads from the pro-Orman Committee to Elect an Independent Senate.
Overall, spending by super PACs and party committees still accounts for the bulk of independent spending on elections, though money spent on direct advocacy by political nonprofits (the dark money groups that don't report donors) recently topped $145 million.
Some fancy filing footwork, meanwhile, ensures that some super PACs that spend millions influencing the vote, won't disclosing their donors until after voters go to the polls, as the New York Times and Sunlight have reported.
We reported recently that the dark money we've been able to trace has gone overwhelmingly for Republican candidates and recent outlays show that trend still holding true.
Since that story, Ending Spending Inc., a conservative nonprofit organization, threw another $3.2 million at voters in the Colorado Senate race and $150,000 in to Iowa, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce dropped an additional $2.86 million on Senate battles while the Democratic Patriot Majority has shed another $1 million.
There is more party parity in total reported outside spending, but Republican-leaning groups hold the edge as well. That's in spite of the insurgence of mega-million dollar super PAC donors from the left side of the aisle.
To date: Democratic-leaning outside groups have spent $338 million on direct advocacy for candidates while Republican groups accounted for $392 million by our count. That's on top of an additional $30 million from groups we could not categorize.
For political money counters who can't get enough of money in the midterms, visit Real-Time Federal Campaign Finance's overview page, where you can find the numbers broken down. Want a chart for your blog or newsletter? You'll find plenty to choose from here.

Q: Ruby on Rails UrlGenerationError This may be a very stupid question. I'm very new to Ruby, and thus have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm setting up a layout in application.html.erb. One of the links for my navigation is just supposed to link to a default show page for a resume. I should have probably set it up as an index instead of show. But when I tried that, things just got even more confusing.
With the code I currently have, the error I'm getting is
Showing thisSectionOfUrlTakenOut/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
where line #22 raised:

No route matches {:controller=>"resume", :action=>"show"} missing required keys:
[:id]

Extracted source (around line #22):

19

20
<%= link_to "Home", welcome_index_path %>

21
<%= link_to "Projects", projects_path %>

22
<%= link_to "Resume", resume_path, method => show %>

23
<%= link_to "Blog", posts_path %>

24

25

As is, my application.html.erb looks like this.
<!DOCTYPE html>

      <title>Portfolio</title>
      <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all",
"data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
      <%= javascript_include_tag "application",
"data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>

  <% if current_user %>

Welcome

  <%else%>

 Portfolio

  <%end%>

<%= link_to "Home", welcome_index_path %>

<%= link_to "Projects", projects_path %>

<%= link_to "Resume", resume_path, method => show %>

<%= link_to "Blog", posts_path %>

<%= yield %>

  <% if !current_user %>
      <%= link_to "Login", admin_console_index_path%>
  <% else %>
      <%= link_to "Logout", destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete%>
  <%end%>

The routes.rb looks like
Portfolio::Application.routes.draw do

  devise_for :users

  resources :posts do
    resources :comments
  end

  resources :projects

  resources :resume

  resources :admin_console

  resources :welcome

  root 'welcome#index'
end

And the resume_controller.rb looks like
class ResumeController < ApplicationController
  def show
  end
end

If it helps, some of the issues started when I started using devise. But since then, I think other errors have made things worse. I would be extremely grateful for any help. If you could explain it to me, that would be better

A: The problem is in your routes. You are defining resources :resume which implies that there are many resumes and thus when you want to link to a resume you have to know its id.
What you should do instead is:
get '/resume' => 'resume#show'

Also remove the method => show option in your resume link. It is not needed an will probably cause an error once you fix the routes.


J.J. Cale is widely considered as one of the most important figures in rock music. Just Google him and you'll immediately pay homage to the songs that he penned, but were ultimately made famous by the likes of Eric Clapton, Skynyrd and Waylon Jennings. The list goes on, and that's not to say that Cale wasn't famous, but he definitely preferred to stay away from the limelight. Unfortunately, Cale is no longer with us, but this Spring we'll get a dose of totally unreleased, never heard before songs on the posthumous Stay Around. Enjoy Chasing You and we'll see what Cale's wife and manager have dug up when the album is released on April 26th.

Politics|What You Need to Know About the Iran Crisis
What You Need to Know About the Iran Crisis
President Trump approved and then canceled an attack on Iran with just minutes to spare. Here's a guide to the crisis, with links to further reading.

By Eileen Sullivan
What happened — or did not happen — Thursday night?
President Trump on Thursday approved military strikes against Iran in retaliation for shooting down an unmanned American surveillance drone. The American operation was to be carried out before sunrise against Iranian military sites to avoid human casualties, which would have been around 9 p.m. Thursday Eastern Daylight Time.
Throughout the day on Thursday, Mr. Trump was not specific about how he planned to respond to Iran's strike, which American officials say happened over international waters while Iran asserts the drone was in its airspace. Mr. Trump responded to questions with wait-and-see answers and also suggested that the Iranian attack was a mistake. Around 7 p.m., military and diplomatic officials were prepared for a strike, and the operation was underway.
"We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights," Mr. Trump said in a Twitter post on Friday morning.
Then, Mr. Trump called it off.
Read on: Trump Stopped Strike on Iran Because It Was 'Not Proportionate'
What started the latest crisis?
The United States and Iran have a long history of tensions, but the latest escalation started when American officials blamed Iran for attacking two oil tankers on June 13 in or near the Strait of Hormuz, a major thoroughfare for transporting much of the world's oil.
Days later, the Pentagon authorized the deployment of an additional 1,000 troops to the Middle East with surveillance and military equipment, intended to serve as a deterrent to Iran. In April, the Trump administration also designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps a terrorist organization and in May imposed even tighter sanctions on Tehran's aluminum, iron and copper industries, sectors that make up about a tenth of its exports, according to the Trump administration.
This week, Tehran said it would soon violate a significant piece of the 2015 international agreement designed to contain Iran's nuclear program. The countries in the pact had agreed to reduce economic sanctions on Iran as long as Iran held up its end of the deal, which includes curbing its uranium enrichment activities. Iran said it would soon violate the limit on uranium stockpiling.
Under Mr. Trump, the United States in 2018 backed out of the Iran deal, though it remains in force with five other countries. Trump administration has reinstated crushing economic sanctions and pressured other countries to do the same, leaving Iran's economy in serious trouble.

Why did Mr. Trump call off the strike?
The president on Friday said the prospect of casualties stopped him. An attack with the potential to kill 150 people, he said, was not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned American aircraft. He said he called it off with 10 minutes to spare.
How soon was the attack canceled?
Mr. Trump said he called off the strike with 10 minutes to spare. No missiles had been fired at that point, but a senior administration official said American military planes were in the air and ships were in position. Mr. Trump later denied that the planes were in the air when he changed his mind about the operation. Officials said the strike was to be carried out in the early morning hours on Friday, which would have been around 9 p.m. Thursday in Washington.
Is this crisis affecting anything else?
Some international airlines on Friday diverted planes flying over parts of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and the Federal Aviation Administration gave an emergency order early Friday, banning all American flights in Tehran-controlled airspace above the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman because of "heightened military activities and increased political tensions."
Oil prices for Brent crude, the international standard, rose about 5.8 percent since the American drone was shot down. It was trading at about $64.80 a barrel on Friday morning, which is below the recent high in mid-May when prices were about $72 a barrel.
About a third of the world's crude oil and other petroleum products is carried by tankers that pass through the Strait of Hormuz, described by one federal agency as one of the most important oil choke points in the world. The body of water separates the United Arab Emirates and Oman from Iran and sees dozens of ships pass through each day.

The attacks have escalated the crisis between the United States and Iran.
Would this have been the president's first military action in the Middle East?
No. Mr. Trump struck twice at targets in Syria in 2017 and 2018 in response to the Syrian government's use of chemical weapons. The operation against Iran would have been his third in the region. Among his campaign promises was a vow to get the United States out of conflicts in the Middle East.

Does the president need congressional approval to start a war with Iran?
Not necessarily, but some members of Congress have asked Mr. Trump to seek congressional authorization.
The Constitution gives Congress the decision of whether to declare war, but government lawyers have argued that the president alone can order attacks if it is in self-defense or if the attacks would benefit American interests.

What does Iran hope to accomplish with these escalations?
It wants its economy, crippled by sanctions, to improve.
That objective was at the heart of the 2015 nuclear deal: As Iran complied with international demands for limiting its nuclear program, sanctions against the country would decrease over time. But that changed when the United States backed out of the deal and resumed the economic squeeze.
Some experts view Iran's recent aggressions as part of strategy to provoke the United States into action and to pressure American allies in Europe and Asia — countries already uneasy about the escalating tensions — to reign in the world superpower and force the Trump administration back to the negotiating table. The strategy, however, carries significant risks: total collapse of the nuclear agreement and possibly war.

What is the political reaction to this?
Mr. Trump's decision to pull back on the strike has divided Republicans, pitting hawks who criticized his midoperation retreat against a noninterventionist wing that sided with most Democrats to praise it.
Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the third-ranking House Republican, said on Friday that she was concerned about Mr. Trump's restraint in response to the downing of an American drone, comparing it with President Barack Obama's unfulfilled threat to strike Syria if it crossed a "red line" by using chemical weapons.
But other Republicans said the episode raised questions about Mr. Trump's decision-making on the gravest of issues. His assertion that he canceled the strike after hearing from military commanders that it could kill as many as 150 Iranians indicated a lack of preparedness, they said.
On the campaign trail, Democrats seeking the party's 2020 presidential nomination reacted with a mix of horror, anger and stupefaction. Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington said Mr. Trump's actions amounted to "governing by chaos." Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who is an Army National Guard veteran, warned that war with Iran was "HIGHLY likely unless Trump swallows his pride & returns to the Iran nuclear agreement he tore up."
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts urged restraint, saying, "There is no justification for further escalating this crisis." And Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont called on Congress to "assert its constitutional authority and stop Trump from going to war."

Derrick White (4) of the San Antonio Spurs celebrates throwing a dunk down on Paul Millsap (4) of the Denver Nuggets with teammate DeMar DeRozan (10) during the third quarter of the Spurs' 101-96 win on Saturday, April 13, 2019.
How could you not? Not only did it set Twitter on fire, but it also broke the Denver bench while simultaneously transforming into a talking point for many a Nuggets aficionado lamenting the franchise's hard pass on the kid from Parker.
But the Legend High School, uh, legend wasn't the only former CU Buffs star who made some noise on opening weekend of the NBA playoffs.
Across the continent in the City of Brotherly Love, Spencer Dinwiddie put in some work in the Brooklyn Nets' Game 1 upset of the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday afternoon. The 6-foot-6 guard's final line: 18 points, three rebounds and one assist on 6-of-14 shooting.
That comes off a season in which Dinwiddie received Sixth Man of the Year buzz and signed a long-term contract that locks him up with the Nets for the next three seasons.
Not bad for a former second-round pick — and another Buffalo that got away.
