The Hall of Oh Buh-rother.
Geez Louise.
What disturbs me about the Hall of Fame is that it appears to have morphed into a numbers honor. Benchmarks have been set for automatic entry: 3,000 hits, 500 homers, and 300 wins. Blogs allow more analysis from the world of sabermetrics. Pure statistical breakdowns are here to stay in baseball front offices. And they have earned their place. But the view here is their role in the Hall-of-Fame voting should be limited to clarifying one's achievements, not defining the achievement.
I'm going to go ahead and agree with this. The Hall of Fame should not be just about numbers. But it should kind of be about numbers, right? Because, you know...they're numbers. They tell us things. In fact, it's numbers that should define a player's achievements, and anecdotal reporting that should clarify and elaborate on the numbers. So: you are exactly wrong, Ted Robinson.
Players must only be compared against their peers and within their eras. No number can be truly compared across generations for reasons so obvious they need not be offered here.
Except that there is ERA+. And OPS+, EqA+, and WARP3. And others. So, the reasons aren't so obvious to me.
If a deep study is needed to buttress a player's case, it is most likely an unworthy argument.
First of all, nice use of "buttress," which is a fancy word that makes people sound smart. Second of all, saying that studying is lame is usually reserved for dumb jocks in John Hughes movies. So, good work aligning yourself with them.
Bottom line: the Hall of Fame is about quality, not quantity.
Why are these things mutually exclusive? Why not say: The Hall of Fame is about quality and quantity? What bad thing would happen if someone wrote that? Hell, I just wrote it and I seem to be -- my eyes!!! No!!! What is happening?!?!?!?1/?!?
Leonard Koppett, the late New York sportswriter who has been honored by the baseball and basketball Halls of Fame, told me repeatedly that his Hall-of-Fame voting standard was simple: if he had to think about the player's candidacy, then the vote was no. To Leonard, a Hall of Famer was obvious.
Excellent. A new criterion for HOF induction: induce the right answer in a game of word association with Leonard Koppett.
I have immense respect for the passion displayed by those who analyze baseball in new ways. They often present fresh and compelling arguments on Hall of Fame candidates, Rob Neyer being the best of the group. But I hold firmly that my 22 years of traveling with MLB teams provided the best perspectives and judgments on players.
Quick diversion coming up.
Every beat writer/broadcaster has had the greatest education baseball can provide -- the daily intimacy through which we learn about the unique rhythms of the game, the people who play it, and what makes them succeed or fail. Dispassionate analysis can support but never replace or supersede that education. Is there emotion and subjectivity in such an approach? Most likely, but that's a price well paid in determining an honor so important.
Some diversionary things:
This may neither be here nor there. But. It is, in my opinion, the utter lack of objectivity amongst the entire BBWAA that led to the biggest scandal in pro sports in decades -- widespread, in-plain-air doping amongst a significant portion of the players' union -- going unreported for more than a decade. Emotion and subjectivity are nice if you're you, Ted, and you get to hang out with baseball players who call you "Teddy" or "Slim" or "Thunder Boner" or something. But if you're me, and you rely on the BBWAA for news, information, and judgments about a sport you love, then emotion and subjectivity suck ass.
They are not charming or cool or things to be celebrated and valued. They are a shitty trump card that writers use to tell the world that you just don't understand. You had to be there. I know stuff you don't. You can look at all the numbers you want, but guess what, computer boy. I sat at Jack Morris's feet when he was soaking in the whirlpool before game 7 of the Series and held a plastic tobacco-juice cup to his mouth. And I asked him, "Jack, how do you feel?" And he leaned over and spat into the cup, and some of the juice got on my hand and shirt and stuff, and that juice smelled like...victory. And I stared into his eyes, and he had a look about him that said: I'm gonna throw a shutout. And that: that is the only piece of information I need to know that Jack Morris is a Hall of Famer.
So fuck you, guy who didn't do that.
(My guess is, he didn't hear the question, and the look in his eye was, "Why is this dude sitting so close to me when I'm naked?)
I like subjectivity and emotion. I am a Red Sox fan, and when I watch Red Sox games I get pretty effing subjective and emotional. Before 2004, I often accused Major League Baseball of planning and enacting a conspiracy to keep the Red Sox from winning a World Series -- a conspiracy that included the umpires' union, stadium construction firms, Fox TV, Curt Gowdy, whoever invented the Weather Machine that pushed Bucky Dent's ball over the Monster in 1978, and thousands of others, reaching into the upper tiers of our nation's government. Once, during a Sox-Yankees playoff game in 1999, I emotionally subjectified a glass duck through the window of my apartment. But when it comes to things like permanent enshrinement in the Hall of Fame, can't we tone down the emotional subjectivity? Can't the basis for enshrinement be career numbers, with emotional subjectivity serving as the final dash of icing on top of the delicious objective cake?
No? Okay. Keep going.
With that background, Tuesday can bring legitimacy to the electorate if Goose Gossage and Jack Morris are voted in to the Hall of Fame.
Let me start by saying I have never met Gossage but he is being dealt a great wrong by not being in the Hall of Fame.
So: recap:
A. You can't really know whether someone is worthy of the Hall of Fame unless you cover baseball and travel with the teams...unless you hang out with the players during their careers...unless you lick the sweat off their foreheads after a game...unless you personally hand-wash their undershirts, deeply breathing in the pungent fumes left by their dirty, subjective bodies. That's the only way you can truly know a man well enough to determine whether he is a Hall of Famer.
B. I have never met Goose Gossage, but he is definitely a Hall of Famer.
Dennis Eckersley and Bruce Sutter belong, but so does Gossage -- the most feared reliever since the closer role developed.
Every time someone makes an argument about a player by saying that player was the "most feared," I barf a little on myself.
Here's what I know. In 1980, I stood just outside the Oakland dugout as Gossage entered in the ninth inning with a one-run lead. Billy Martin, the A's manager, turned to summon pinch-hitters but he couldn't find any. The lefty hitters, most likely to be drafted, had scattered. No one wanted to face Gossage in his prime. Not one batter was anywhere near the bat rack. Martin's coaches had to round up the available men. I have never seen a similar moment.
I'm calling bullshit here. When a team's closer comes in for the ninth, do you often find tons of guys lingering around the bat rack hoping to get a chance to jump into the game cold against a (usually) really good pitcher? That's a common sight in baseball? And what were the other circumstances? Had one of the A's pitchers hit a Yankee the day before? Was Gossage drunk?
Now, obviously, I wasn't there. Gossage was an awesome pitcher, and guys fear awesome pitchers with fu manchus. But: I just don't think the entire team was cowering under the bench and fainting like a bunch of Southern belles when Sherman's armies closed on Atlanta.
Here's where things get really good.
I spent many hours with Morris during the 1991 season and developed an intense admiration for his pitching as you'll read below.
I was pleasantly stunned to read a glowing endorsement for Morris in the Sunday New York Times. All the sensible reasons that Morris should already be an inductee were presented. Simply, he was the best pitcher of his time (this seems to surprise some but wins and losses are the prime currency of baseball and Morris was the winningest pitcher of his full decade, the 1980s).
1. If he was the best pitcher of his time, why didn't the hallowed BBWAA -- the selfsame organization you seem to hold in such high esteem because they travel with the players -- ever vote him the best pitcher in his league? Ever? Once?
2. For that matter, why didn't they ever vote him second-best?
3. Morris started pitching in 1977. There were a lot of good pitchers hanging around at that time. Ron Guidry was pretty good in 1978. Bret Saberhagen debuted in 1984. Roger Clemens enters stage left in 1984 and kicks things into high gear in 1986. Maddux didn't show up until 1988, really, and Jim Palmer's last good year was 1982. So, Morris just happened to show up at the right time -- hitting his stride at the age of 25 in 1980 -- to have a very good 1980-1989.
He (-slash his team's batters and relief pitchers) won 162 games in the 1980s. Excellent job. Is your old buddy Jim Kaat a Hall of Famer, Ted? Because from 1966-1975 he won 162 games. That's a decade. From 1962 to 1971 he won 159. That's also a decade. Why aren't we hearing about how Jim Kaat won a ton of games from 1966-1975? Oh -- right. Because completely randomly, 1966-1975 isn't a stupidly arbitrary "clean decade."
Saying that Jack Morris should be in the Hall of Fame because he won the most games in the 1980s is like saying that lots of crazy shit is going to happen the second the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31, 1999. Because it's the year 2000!! A round number!!! That is significant!!!!!
He was a good pitcher who won a lot of games = okay argument.
Those games are more meaningful as a group because they occurred during years that begin with 198 = irrelevant irrelevant irrelevant stupid stupid come on people we're better than this.
And his postseason exploits in a culture that reveres winners and humbles the runner-up (check on that with Fran Tarkenton, Bud Grant, Jim Kelly or Marv Levy) should be indisputable.
Postseason:
7-4 with a 3.80 ERA overall. 64 Ks and 32 BB in 92.1 innings. Not bad. 3-2 with a 4.87 ERA in LCS play. 0-1 with a 6.57 in the 1992 ALCS in 2 starts. (But he made up for it in the World Series, though, when he went 0-2 with an 8.44 ERA in two starts.)
Jack Morris pitched really really well in several postseason games, including one truly great 10-inning outing. But he also pitched crappily in several postseason games. His postseason exploits, therefore, are eminently disputable.
(Also, Fran Tarkenton, Bud Grant, Jim Kelly and Marv Levy were "humbled" to the tune of: all of them are in the Football Hall of Fame. Weird choices.)
Somehow the numbers folks have dissected Morris and point to his 3.90 career ERA (3.73 if you eliminate his final two over-the-hill years)
Do you get to do that now? It's like figure skating judging? You get rid of the two worst years? Then let's also get rid of his two best years. So, subtract 42 wins and like 450 Ks from his totals. Also, a minor drop in ERA from 3.90 to 3.73, when you get rid of his two highest year totals, highlights the fact that he was pretty consistently between the mid-upper 3's and 4's over his entire career.
or his 254 wins (the benchmark factor. [sic]
Not the benchmark factor if you are a thinking human being.
([sic] is for inexplicable lack of close parens.)
I often read pieces that degrade the presence of players already inducted to inflate another's candidacy. That tact is distasteful. If you care, just compare Morris with his peers, including those already in the Hall of Fame. In every measure of quality, Morris is a no-brainer. In measures that are more significant to the analysts (ERA, WHIP, etc.), Morris can be tainted.
If you look at "every measure of quality" (or: wins, I guess) he gets in.
If you look at "measures that are more significant to the analysts" (or, by elimination, things that are not "measures of quality") he does not.
Thus: he does not.
Problem with that thinking is that Morris was the top dog on three World Series title teams. Find me a peer who matches that claim.
So, here's your plan: first, challenge me to find a man who was lucky (and skilled) enough to be on three teams that made the World Series. Hard to do, right? And then use that like a club to beat me over the head when I say that Jack Morris might not belong in the HOF.
Also, call Morris the "top dog" of the 1992 Blue Jays Postseason despite the fact that he lost both of his WS starts, including giving up 7 ER in 4.2 IP with a chance to close out the Series in Game Five.
Indisputable!!!!!
Morris wasn't a stat man's lover, he just won. Let's make sure everyone has that one more time. Morris was the number one guy on three World Series winners. And he pitched one of the two greatest postseason games in history.
Bert Blyleven's career postseason #'s: 5-1, 2.47 ERA, 38/8 K/BB ratio in 47 innings. Fuck him.
And if you're going to use that one awesome game 7 to bludgeon me with a pro-vote, I will use that one stinky Game 5 to bludgeon you with my anti-vote. He gave up 7 runs in 4 2/3 innings in a clinching game! He's one of the worst choke-artists in starting pitching history. He let his team down. He blew it. He's Jean Van de Velde. He's worse than Ralph Branca. He doesn't belong in the Hall of Anything. He sucks!!!!!
(Crazy, right? It's what you're doing, only from the opposition party. So cool it.)
But here's what I remember: late September 1991 and Minnesota is trying to clinch the AL West. The Twins are in Toronto where the Jays are looking to finish off the East. Morris was in the throes of a divorce throughout the summer. Often his mind would wander and the pain that can only be known to those with like experiences would surface. That weekend in Toronto seemed to be a time when the cumulative weight of his personal life crashed down upon Morris. Yet, on a Saturday afternoon, he calmly went to the SkyDome mound and tossed a shutout at Toronto that clinched a division tie for the Twins.
Here's what I just looked up on a computer: Morris's 105 career ERA+ ties him for 460th all-time, with (among others) Zane Smith, Denny Naegle, and Paul Byrd.
After that, Game 7 of the World Series, one month later, was no surprise. And it's why Morris passes the Leonard Koppett test --no thought needed. He is a Hall of Famer.
Even if I afford you the opportunity to apply the excellently-reasoned Leonard Koppet Test, Jack Morris demands a ton of thought. A fucking ton. He was a very good pitcher who did some great pitching things, but cold hard indisputable facts tell us that his career just does not measure up to "no-brainer" HOFers. Greg Maddux -- no thought. Tom Seaver, Walter Johnson, Steve Carlton, Pedro Martinez, Bob Gibson -- no thought.
Jack Morris? Are you kidding me? No thought?
And by the way, you started your argument with this:
Then you talked about Jack Morris's divorce, calculated his ERA if you drop his two worst seasons, referenced Fran Tarkenton, Bud Grant, Jim Kelly and Marv Levy, and cited a game Morris pitched on September 28, 1991. This isn't a deep study?
Congratulations to Goose Gossage, an excellent pitcher who probably deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. My condolences to Jim Rice, who probably does not belong in the Hall of Fame, and was not elected. My congratulations to the BBWAA for not stretching like crazy to elect Jack Morris into the Hall of Fame. And my "Fuck the Heck?" to the one dude who voted for Todd Stottlemyre.
Let's see that argument.

Because this post isn't long enough, let's go to Steven for some follow up. This is from his site (link at bottom):
According to Baseball-reference.com, there is only one game that matches Robinson's description (Gossage against the A's, 1980, 9th inning, one-run lead). The game in question took place on June 14, 1980. Gossage entered the game with two outs, runners on first and second.
I took a look at the A's roster in 1980. During that season, the A's had eight players who either batted left or switch-hit. Two of those eight were not on the roster at the time of the game in question. Five of the eight were already in the game, including Wayne Gross, a left-handed batter who was the player due up when Gossage entered. That left one player ... not quite the "lefty hitters" (plural) that Ted remembered "had scattered." No, just one guy. His name was Mike Davis.
On June 14, 1980, Mike Davis had been 21 years old for three days. Yep, if he celebrated the way many Americans do, he had his first legal drink three days before. I'll assume that Mike was already shaving ... don't want to tart up the anecdote too much. Point is, he was extremely young, especially for a major-league baseball player. He was so young, in fact, that at that point he had only compiled 30 at-bats in the majors, hitting .233 with no walks and one homerun (it would, in fact, be more than two years before he hit his second major-league homerun).
Now, let's pretend that Ted got his anecdote mostly right. OK, there weren't multiple lefty hitters crying like babies because the Goose was in town, but maybe he's right about Davis. Maybe Ted looked in the dugout and saw Mike Davis was nowhere near the bat rack. Maybe Ted is right, and Mike Davis was a little nervous about facing Gossage.
Let's pretend Ted's right. As far as I can figure, this is how Ted Robinson's thinking works. Because Goose Gossage could make a 21-year-old hitter nervous, he belongs in the Hall of Fame. Nice going, Ted!

Morris wasn't a stat man's lover, he just won. Let's make sure everyone has that one more time. Morris was the number one guy on three World Series winners.
Hey, here's a funny thing:
1984 Detroit Tigers SP ERA+
121 Dan Petry
113 Juan Berenguer
109 Jack Morris
1991 Minnesota Twins SP ERA+
143 Kevin Tapani
134 Scott Erickson
1992 Toronto Blue Jays SP ERA+
156 Juan Guzman
116 Jimmy Key
and heck, David Cone pitched 8 games with a 161 ERA+ (and on the year he recorded a 128)
So let's rewrite the paragraph:
Morris wasn't a stat man's lover, he just won. Let's make sure everyone has that one more time. Morris was no better than the number three guy on three World Series winners.

Many of you also pointed out that this:
Morris wasn't a stat man's lover...
is hilariously mal-conceived. He means: "Morris wasn't a stat-lover's man," or "Morris is not a guy who racked up stats" or "If you're a stat lover, Morris isn't your guy." Instead, he posited that Morris was not having a gay affair with a man who loves stats.
Ex-queeze me, bitch?! I beg to differ.
Oh, zip it, Gay Murbles!
From Jeff:
I thought I read somewhere that Bob Welch had some of the best numbers of the 80s.
Keeping it simple (from 1980 - 1990 to offset that strike year)
Welch: 164-99 W-L, 3.18 ERA, 1584 Ks (2.13 K/BB ratio ... 6.14 K/9) ... and two WS appearances (one ring ... still mad I lost $40 over that 1990 sweep ... )
Morris: 177-137, 3.73 ERA, 1791 Ks (1.87 K / BB ratio ... 5.98 K/9) ... and a ring.
Not sure "they" have me convinced about Morris's "best pitcher of the 80s argument." And, no one's clamouring for Bob Welch's induction.

Willie writes in with something that is more important than all of this HOF nonsense:
When I first read your post entitled "The Hall of Oh Buh-rother," there was a sentence, roughly a little before halfway through the article that read: "Can't the basis for enshrinement be career numbers, with emotional subjectivity serving as the final dash of icing on top of the delicious objective cake?"
Upon reading it, I assumed you wrote that as a lame excuse for using the food metaphors tag. After all, absolutely any reason to use that label usually works. But for some reason, there was no food metaphors tag, which was obviously very disappointing. I assumed that there would be emails flooding in regarding the need for a label addition, and I didn't want to be one of the douchebags who writes in demanding that a post gets labeled, so I figured that I would just sit back and let the FJM readers do what they do.
But not only did you miss that, but I'm assuming readers did as well, since to this day, almost two weeks since that article was posted, there is still no food metaphors tag. I'm extremely disappointed in both the FJM staff and readership for overlooking this.
Now, I had no choice but to write in. I didn't want to do it, but you left me no choice. A food metaphors tag must be added.
And so it has been.

Yoshida: We played much better
By SFC Media time Sat 10 Nov	Saints v Watford
Photo by Matt Watson | Maya Yoshida
Maya Yoshida was keen to focus on a more spirited performance from Southampton after the 1-1 draw with Watford, rather than the key decision that denied Saints a two-goal lead in the second half at St Mary's.
Mark Hughes's men were in control for most of the game, taking a 20th minute lead through Manolo Gabbiadini that they held for over an hour.
In that time, Yoshida was involved in a major talking point, as Charlie Austin's shot found the net but was adjudged to have deflected off Saints' offside defender, before Jose Holebas fired Watford level eight minutes from time.
"We're upset, of course, because I feel like we dropped two points – especially with the wrong decision from the referee," Yoshida said.
"But I think we played much better today, showing great character, passion and desire.
"In the second half, everyone was fighting a lot, but unfortunately we couldn't get the three points.
"The referee thought I touched the ball, but I didn't – it's as simple as that.
"It was the wrong decision, but it's part of football. Maybe everyone will talk about VAR, but I don't like VAR, and there's no point talking about that.
"I want to talk about our character and performance today. I know the fans really want to watch a winning game, which we did for a long time, so we're really disappointed."

Esports Pro SaLz0r's FIFA 19 Critique Sparks Fan Debate
0.1 A 'devastating bug'
0.2 Timed finishing
0.3 Goalkeeper control
0.4 Hitting the woodwork
0.5 A game for the viewer rather than the player
0.6 FIFA Online Qualifier Cup
1 What's the upshot?
2 Does SaLz0r have a point?
3 Those fancy kicks
Although not in the same league esports-wise as Dota 2, League of Legends, CS:GO, there is no doubt FIFA is a go-to game the world over.
FIFA 18 provided the basis for many of the top FIFA esports tournaments of the past year, including the FIFA eWorld Cup, which was won by Saudi Arabian player Mosaad Aldossary. However, since then, the annual update to the game has been completed and released. FIFA 19 has divided players, particularly in the esports community.
Nowhere is that more evident than on the Twit Longer feed of VfL Wolfsburg FIFA esports player Benedikt "SaLz0r" Saltzer. The respected professional, one of a couple of esports professionals contracted to the Bundesliga team, has issued a statement criticizing many elements of 2019 update. Salzor's complaints about FIFA 19 include:
A 'devastating bug'
This concerns the tactical side of the game. Players assigned to one position in the tactics section of the game actually then play a different position. SaLz0r's example is when top striker Gabriel Jesus is played as CDM (despite being placed in attack in the tactics), with top CDM Fabinho playing in place of Jesus as the striker. The inference is that the different skills each player possesses individually make him ill-suited to the roles. (Fabinho is not strong as a finisher or striker; Jesus is not strong as a defensive midfielder.)
While SaLz0r appreciates that this additional level of skill and complexity adds a great deal to the game, rather than having players finish strongly all the time, he reckons its effectiveness is diminished by the "way to [sic] strong" AI that players can use when defending. His argument is that when a player executes a perfectly timed shot, the AI is so over-powered that it can block the shot and render it effectively useless.
Goalkeeper control
SaLz0r also complains that when a player elects to move a goalkeeper there are glitches that switch control to a different player. This often leaves the goalkeeper out of position and unresponsive to attacks.
Hitting the woodwork
When players create chances against the AI and the error-prone goalkeeper, even if a shot is perfectly timed, the ball seems to hit the bar and post far more frequently in FIFA 19 than in real life or previous incarnations of the game.
A game for the viewer rather than the player
SaLz0r also feels more spectacular types of goals, such as long-distance volleys, tornado kicks, and bicycle kicks — are over-powering the game. In effect, he is saying it is easier to score one of the most difficult and spectacular goals than a run-of-the-mill goal.
FIFA Online Qualifier Cup
Finally, SaLz0r complained about the organisation of this event. He sees numerous problems, including players who had earned the requisite 27 wins not receiving their email to compete.
What's the upshot?
That's a laundry list that still leaves further critiques on the table of his original post. SaLz0r even issued a fix-list for the game he hopes EA Sports will act upon for future updates.
It is generally rare for a high-profile esports player to come out and criticize a new game, especially one as universally popular as the FIFA franchise. While all games have bugs or glitches that can be resolved through patches and updates, Salzor seems to think that some of the issues with FIFA 19 stem from EA's desire to turn the game into a viewing spectacle more than a playable game.
In EA's defense, making a game that satisfies the whole FIFA community is an impossible task. There will always be some aspect of the game on which players have conflicting opinions.
Does SaLz0r have a point?
Having played FIFA 19 for a while myself, although not at the level of a top esports professional, I do feel some of the issues SaLz0r raised have credence.
The AI is outsizing the games. Even slick passing moves and incisive attacks will often be ended by an AI overpowering your striker or outpacing your attacker who should have far greater speed. It is also true that the ball does seem to hit the bar and post more frequently. That said, this has been true of many recent incarnations of FIFA.
The timed finishing aspect does work well at lower levels of the game, but as the AI or opposition improves, luck does seem to play a greater factor in its success than skill. It can be frustrating to execute a perfectly timed finish at the beginner level to score a goal only to try it at a higher level or against a better opponent and see the same shot, with a supposedly better player, hit the woodwork, be blocked, or go wide or over the bar.
Those fancy kicks
Where SaLz0r really does have a great point is in the frequency of goals scored by volleys, overhead kicks, and tornado kicks.
In real football, these goals are rarities. But in FIFA, you can almost bank on scoring one implausible goal per game. While this does make the game appealing (especially if you are the beneficiary of that goal), it is not realistic in the slightest. That can be frustrating if you are dominating your opponent only to lose on a volley from 40 yards away.
Since SaLz0r's post, EA has issued two related patches. It will be interesting to see how the FIFA community reacts to these and whether they truly address the issues outlined here.

The first half of Sanxin medical management training
In the special "epidemic" year, we first recruited "Xinhuo" through cloud platform and arrived with Sanxin family on June 28. Talent is the foundation of the enterprise. General Secretary Xi has repeatedly stressed that talents are the strategic resources to realize national rejuvenation and win the initiative in international competition. For Sanxin, the talents suitable for Sanxin are the source of building a century old foundation and the foundation for an enterprise to remain invincible.
The button of life should be buckled from the beginning. If the first button is wrong, the rest will be wrong. For the sixth phase of Sanxin's "Xinhuo plan", the company has formulated a detailed training plan, which has been injected with ingenuity from the first day of employment. From outward bound training to team cooperation, from role transition to career planning, from corporate culture to management and control system, from Sanxin story to Sanxin future, from company executives to business elites, our lecturers all know everything, and our "Xinhuo" is dedicated and tireless.
Worship ceremony
As the old saying goes, "the father is born, the teacher teaches.". A "teacher" is not only to impart knowledge and skills, but also to add a sincere feeling of parental concern and teaching. In the first half, we held a grand ceremony of teacher worship, which is not only a ceremony, but also a key step in Guan Peisheng's future career. As the saying goes, "listening to your words is better than reading for ten years". The tutor will be the guide for us to open the workplace.
Enterprise course training
▲Some lecturers
"It's only on paper that you'll feel shallow at the end of the day, and you'll have to practice it." Sanxin has actively responded to and thoroughly implemented the construction of a large army of knowledge-based, skilled and innovative workers, carried forward the spirit of model workers and craftsman, and created a social fashion of glorious labor and a professional atmosphere of striving for perfection. What we have learned should not stay in books or in our heads, but should be implemented in action and value creation. We should achieve the unity of knowledge and practice, learn true knowledge and understand the true meaning in practice, promote action by knowledge and seek knowledge by doing.
"Although the road is near, we can't do it; even if the matter is small, it's not impossible." Every enterprise, big or small, is done on a down-to-earth basis and bit by bit. We should be rigorous and pragmatic, work hard and work hard. Xinhuo starts a prairie fire, which is irresistible. Sanxin people should be firm in their ideals and beliefs, have lofty aspirations, be down-to-earth, and be the trendsetters of the times. In the vivid practice of realizing Sanxin's Centennial dream, they should release their youth dreams, and make unremitting efforts to write colorful chapters of life in the development of people's health!


Before showing the degree to which GERD has changed the hydro-political dynamics in the basin, it looks logical to give some technical information about the dam. It is located about 40 kms east of the Ethio-Sudan boundary on the floor of the Guba Valley in the Blue Nile Basin. The dam's reservoir would hold about 74 billion cubic meters (bcm) of water on 1700 km2 area, which is estimated to be twice the size of Lake Tana in Ethiopia. The 246 km long lake may require five or more years to reach its full capacity. GERD will tower 145 meters high and 1.8 km long and its total installed power generating capacity is estimated at 6000 MWs. It is expected to be operational by 2017. Due to the reluctance of multilateral agencies and development banks to fund the dam project, it remains a self-funding project. It needs USD 5 billion for completion (equivalent to Ethiopia's annual budget), which is unadjusted for cost overruns.
By aligning with Ethiopia on GERD question, Sudan has disavowed the 'strategic pact' it made with Egypt, i.e. the 1959 agreement.
The question is why has Sudan decided to support the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam? Some seven reasons could be spelled out to justify Sudan's position: (a) the dam will siphon off more water for downstream irrigation, (b) Sudan would get a regulated and sustained water flow (the minimum and maximum flow that used to be 200m3/s and 6500 m3/s, respectively, could be changed to 3600-3800 m3/s throughout the year), (c) the dam will hold back immense quantities of silt and sediments (could result in 86% reduction), (d) it can prolong the life-span of Sudanese dams, such as the Rosaries Dam on the Blue Nile, (e) it will reduce flooding and improve flood control, (f) Sudan can get surplus and cheaper electricity to deliver to its power-hungry population (with 25% of the cost from Merowe Dam) and (g) Sudan also wanted to show its disaffection with previous agreements (most particularly with the 1959 Agreement).
Cairo's worries about GERD stem from two factors. First, they think the dam will reduce the flow of the Nile into Egypt during the reservoir filling-in years and second the dam could cause permanent reduction that can come as a result of evaporation from the reservoir.
Egyptians have taken various measures to thwart the construction of GERD. These include, among others, (a) lobbying the Italians so that Salini Impregilo Construction Firm, in short Salini, can halt the construction of the dam, (b) approaching the EU, US, China, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Japan, the WB etc. and lobbying them to stand on their side, (c) contemplating to take the case to the International Court of Justice and the UN Security Council, (d) blackmailing the construction of the dam as a violation of international legal principles (the no-harm rule), (e) coming up with the idea of using dam busters to "smash and thrash GERD", (f) whipping up a fierce anti-Ethiopian sentiments through state and private medias in Egypt and (g) proposing further studies on the dam's design and impact on downstream countries.
By way of conclusion, I can say that the most feasible way out for Egypt lies in working with the other riparian states. As stated by Verhoeven, "Instead of fearing the dam, Egypt should see it as an opportunity to move closer to a region it has traditionally spurned".
Egypt needs to wake up to the new reality and the changing political/regional dynamics in the region by accepting the rights of the upstream states within the framework of the Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA).
The construction of GERD would compel Egypt to think out of the box by changing the old attitudes which led to the current dead end. In view of the changing hydro-political dynamics, the 1929 and 1959 Nile Water Agreements have no chance of survival. And yet ratifying the CFA without the inclusion of the two principal Nile riparian states, namely Egypt and Sudan, could cement divides than cooperation in the basin. All efforts should be made to bring both riparian states onboard. Of late, we see a civil, reciprocal and mutual dialogue among the three principal Nile basin states, viz. Egypt, Ethiopia and the Sudan. The Declaration of Principles (DoP) that was signed by the three protagonists on March 25, 2015 is a good example for this and a step in the right direction.


Following Super Crazy's departure from WWE earlier this week, Paul London and Chuck Palumbo were given their releases today.
The two releases were officially announced this afternoon on WWE.com. In a statement, WWE stated that, "World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Superstars Paul London and Chuck Palumbo as of Nov. 7, 2008. WWE wishes them the best in all future endeavors."
The released superstars, both of whom had been on the Raw roster, had not appeared on WWE TV in some time. London had most recently appeared in an offshoot angle from the Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho and Lance Cade feud earlier this year. Palumbo, meanwhile, had not appeared on Raw since being moved to the Monday night brand in the WWE Draft.
London was signed by WWE in mid-2003 after making a name for himself in Ring of Honor and NWA-TNA. He would immediately be placed on the Smackdown brand alongside fellow RoH alumn Brian "Spanky" Kendrick. After Kendrick left WWE, however, London began teaming with Billy Kidman. The two would carry the WWE Tag Team Championships for roughly nine months after defeating the Dudley Boyz for the belts. During the reign, however, London broke his nose in a match with Booker T and was put on the sidelines soon after in a storyline split between himself and Kidman. London would return after recuperating and become established as a singles star, eventually winning the Cruiserweight title.
Following Kendrick's return to WWE, the two would be reunited as a team and would capture the WWE Tag Team championships, holding them nearly for a year before dropping the belts to Deuce and Domino. Soon after, the pair would move to the Raw roster in the 2007 WWE Draft. They would appear sporadically on the Monday night show over the next year before Kendrick would go back to Smackdown in the '08 Draft. London would remain on Raw for the rest of his WWE tenure.
Palumbo had re-signed with WWE in 2005 after previously being released in 2004. In between these stints, Palumbo competed overseas, primarily in All Japan Pro Wrestling. Palumbo would spend over a year working dark matches before debuting on Smackdown in 2007 as a biker. Soon, he would be accompanied by Michelle McCool and the two became somewhat popular. Eventually, Palumbo would feud with Jamie Noble, with Palumbo turning heel. Their feud would run until Palumbo's move to Raw in the '08 WWE Draft.

Human Tower Trivia: The Tallest Human Tower in the World
The "Stacked Tower" originated in Catalonia, Spain at the end of the 18th century, and is the most traditional folklore festival in the region. In the local celebrations, "towers" dressed in white pants and black cloth waisted up layer upon layer of arhats to build a tall "tower." In its more than 200 years of development, the sport has always been based on the motto of "strength, composure, bravery, and rationality".
On July 5, 2015, the Taohuazhuang Tower Team composed of 450 Chinese and 193 Spaniards broke the title of [Tallest Tower] Guinness World Records in Deqing, Zhejiang with a 9-story Tower. The total height of the tower is 13 meters.

The record-breaking Taohuazhuang Renta team was established in March 2010. The original intention was to enrich the spare time of the internal employees of Antai (Deqing) Fashion Co., Ltd., to make contact between people more frequent and intensive, thereby enhancing team cohesion.
The human tower is a sport that requires close cooperation between people. The more people there are, the more people need to cooperate. Coordination requires long-term training and on-the-spot performance. However, there are too many factors that can affect the success of the human tower. It can be said that strength and luck are indispensable.
In China, the origins of the "stacked Arhats" can be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and modern times have flourished in Spanish culture.

Elvira Kurt (born December 9, 1961) is a Canadian comedian, and was the host of the game show Spin Off. She hosted the entertainment satire/talk show PopCultured with Elvira Kurt, which began on The Comedy Network in Canada in 2005. That show's style was similar to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It was cancelled due to poor ratings in early 2006. She is of Jewish Hungarian descent.

Openly lesbian, she coined the term "fellagirly" to describe herself and other lesbians whose style is a blend of butch and femme, as opposed to strictly one or the other.  Her comedic style relies heavily on complaints about celebrity culture, her own appearance, and the effects of aging.

Kurt was the first out LGBT comedian to perform on national Canadian television, with her performance on CBC talk show Friday Night! With Ralph Benmergui in 1993.

She performed at the inaugural We're Funny That Way! comedy festival in 1997, and appeared in the festival's documentary film in 1998. In the same year she was part of the cast of In Thru the Out Door, an LGBT-themed sketch comedy special broadcast by CBC Television.

In 2007, Kurt hosted the second season of the gay wedding series First Comes Love (which originated in Canada under the title My Fabulous Gay Wedding). She is a judge on The Second City's Next Comedy Legend, a frequent guest on the CBC Radio show The Debaters, and a weekly guest on Q where she does a "Cultural Hall of Shame" segment each week, typically on the last half-hour on the Friday morning broadcast.

Kurt was the host of Spin Off, a prime time quiz show on Hamilton-based television station CHCH-DT. Mark Burnett was executive producer and creator of Spin Off, which premiered on September 11, 2013.

In 2020 she was the host of CBC Gem's Queer Pride Inside special.

The Feminist Political Economy and Development (FPED) research cluster brings together social science researchers and economists working on gender and feminist approaches to socio-economic transformations within the SOAS community. Academic members of this cluster aim at engaging in theoretical, political, methodological, and policy debates centred on gendered and/or feminist approaches to political economy and development processes. The cluster places particular emphasis on gendered critiques to mainstream economics, and feminist analyses of current economic transformations taking place in both developed and developing regions. The cluster also engages with up-to-date debates within feminist economics policy circles.
The cluster offers the opportunity to discuss on-going research and policy debates among colleagues in an informal setting via regular brown-bag seminars. At these meetings, we discuss relevant work on gender and feminism, we invite members to share completed and on-going research, and discuss opportunities for potential collaboration in research bids. The cluster occasionally also organises more formal events, inviting outside speakers, usually in partnership with other research clusters in the faculty and in close collaboration with the SOAS Centre for Gender Studies. Finally, the cluster is a vehicle for engaging with the SOAS Centre for Gender Studies and with those outside the SOAS community working in the area of feminist economics.


The Little Chef restaurant on the outskirts of Sleaford looks set to become a KFC after a national chain took over the company in February this year.
Eurogarages, based in Lancashire, announced it was planning to open a new KFC restaurant on the Holdingham roundabout site back in May. It then began recruiting for staff but only now has an planning application been submitted to North Kesteven District Council to convert the restaurant with the addition of a drive-through facility.
A Eurogarages spokesman, Tom Jeremiah said back in May: "There are no guarantees that it will happen, but we try to stay one step ahead of the curve because it takes six months to train a general manager." This way they would not be waiting to train up staff if and when approval is given.
There would be external alterations to former Little Chef building including replacement windows and doors, cladding of external walls and creation of outdoor seating area, together with provision of a lane for a 24-hour drive-through facility.
This would mean a reduction in parking spaces from 63. It would also see the doubling of the number of employees to four full time and eight part time.
He stated: "The existing building is an established roadside services development serving the needs of motorists. The existing brick and tile Little Chef building is dated. It contributes little to the site and its surrounds and is in need of refurbishment and updating.
"The proposed works include replacement windows and doors to form an open and airy building. The existing brickwork will be overclad in timber effect composite cladding (walnut colour) and wall cladding panels ('grey' and 'white grey') in accordance with KFC current branding.
He said it would create "an attractive roadside development".
The proposed drive thru route would be laid out over existing grassed area surrounding the building and will not result in loss of any trees.
The neighbouring Travelodge, Burger King and Esso garage would remain unaffected.

Does irony understanding decline with age?
Diana Mazzarella, Hortense De Bettignies, Greta Mazzaggio, 2021, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci
Opis: The use of non-literal language is deeply embedded in everyday communication and the ability to comprehend it changes across life. Research indicates that older adults sometimes struggle in understanding pragmatic aspects of language, such as presupposition (Domaneschi & Di Paola 2019), humor (Bischetti et al. 2019) or sarcasm (Phillips et al. 2015). The present study aims at broadening our understanding of these age-related changes by focusing on irony understanding. To understand irony (e.g., 'The weather is great!' uttered under a pouring rain), one needs to recognize that the speaker is expressing a dissociative attitude towards a proposition that is blatantly irrelevant or false, which echoes an attributed thought or statement (e.g., the proposition 'The weather is great' attributed to the mistaken weather forecaster). Previous research shows that the ability to process irony is closely related to Theory-of-Mind (ToM) and working memory (WM). As there is evidence of an age-related decline in both cognitive abilities, this decline may impact irony understanding in late adulthood. In our ongoing study, we test the effect of age on irony-processing by comparing self-paced reading times of ironic and literal statements across two age groups (young adults: 19-25 yo and older adults: 65-74 yo). Crucially, we manipulate the degree of explicitness of the statement echoed by the ironic speaker. We predict that the difference between the reading times for ironic and literal statements will be modulated by age. Moreover, we predict that reading times will be faster when the echo is explicit compared to when the echo is implicated and that this effect will be stronger for older adults. Finally, we expect that ToM and WM will both be significant predictors and that WM will play a crucial role when the implicitness of the echo poses higher cognitive demands

Pragmatic skills in aging
Opis: The use of non-literal language, like verbal irony, is deeply embedded in everyday communication and the ability to comprehend it changes across life. According to the echoic mention theory (Wilson & Sperber, 2012), understanding irony amounts to recognize a dissociative attitude. In the 'Contextual echo' example (Figure 1), Cynthia's utterance "Tonight we gave a superb performance" is an example of irony. Cynthia is expressing a dissociative, mocking attitude towards the blatantly false proposition "Tonight we gave a superb performance", that echoes the unfulfilled expectation that the concert would go well. The thought that is echoed can be "uttered", like in the 'Explicit echo' example where the ironic utterance echoes the content explicitly expressed by Lea's preceding statement; but the dissociative attitude can also target some implicitly communicated meaning, like in the 'Implicated echo' example, where the ironic utterance echoes the implicature of Lea's statement, that is that they will sing well. Our first aim is to assess whether the echo's degree of explicitness influence the processing of irony. Second, since research indicates that older adults sometimes struggle in understanding non-literal statements, like presupposition (Domaneschi & Di Paola 2019) or humor (Bischetti et al. 2019), we want to address the question of whether the processing of irony is more effortful in late adulthood and, if so, which underlying cognitive capacities might be responsible. Data collection is ongoing and the study is pre-registered on OSF (https://osf.io/94mys/?view_only=51fecb7acd694eca9b6b4d08cca02a26). Methods: The experiment requires the participation of 25 young adults (18-29-year-old) and 25 older adults (65-74-year-old). Participants will be administered a series of standardized tests to assess a) ToM (Faux Pas test) b) WM (Alpha span test) c) Autistic Quotient. The experimental study is a self-paced reading task. Each participant will be presented with stories adapted from the material of Spotorno & Noveck (2014): 15 ironic stories (5 with contextual echo, 5 with implicated echo and 5 with explicit echo), 5 literal stories, 10 decoys and 20 fillers (in a randomized order). Participants answer a yes/no comprehension question at the end of each story. An example of stories is given in Figure 1. Predictions: We expect overall slower reading time for ironic statements compared to literal ones and greater difficulties in the older adults group for ironic statements. We predict that our manipulation of the echo will have an effect on the processing of irony, and that reading times will be faster when the echo is explicit compared to when the echo is implicated (a stronger effect for older adults). We also expect that performance in our ToM task will predict reading times for ironic statements, with lower performance resulting in slower reading times. The presence of an implicated echo will exacerbate the difficulties. Moreover, we expect a positive correlation between the Autistic Quotient score and the difference between the reading times in the ironic and literal conditions. Finally, we expect that WM score will predict longer reading times for ironic statements when the implicitness of the echo poses higher cognitive demands. Analysis plan: First, we plan an evaluation of the group differences for neuropsychological data using a Wilcoxon signed- rank test. Then, we will proceed with a Pearson correlation coefficient test and analysis of variance to understand the relationship between the different measures (Clark, et al. 2010). The principal component analysis will be used to further assess their relationship. To understand the effect of the predictors on the reading time we will run a (Generalized) Linear Mixed-Effects Model with reading time as response variable, (Age Group x Type x Echo) as categorical predictors, test scores of neuropsychological data as continuous (or ordinal) predictors, and subject ID and items as random effects. All relevant interactions (both fixed and random) will also be assessed. The models will be fitted in R using the 'lme4' package (Bates et al. 2015). The (G)LMM will be simplified by removing one non-significant interaction at a time (and then, possibly non-significant main effects) on the basis of the Analysis of Deviance (LR Tests), until the optimal model is reached.

Love, marriage, birth, death and betrayal in the East End of London make up life in Mulberry Lane, perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries, Cathy Sharp and Donna Douglas.
A WEDDING AT MULBERRY LANE is the second book in the riveting and heart-breaking Mulberry Lane series from Rosie Clarke. Order the next book, MOTHERS OF MULBERRY LANE, out July 2018.
Although I hadn't read the first book in the series I found it very easy to get to know the wonderful characters in this book which is set during World War 2. The story has different threads for the different characters but they are all entwined in some way due to the Mulberry Lane setting of the title. This story is primarily a story of the strength of the women and the way they handle the hardships and the separation caused by the awful war. I would highly recommend this book and sincerely hope that there is another book in the series in the pipeline as I want to know more about what happens to Peggy, Maureen and the other brilliant characters in the future. Thanks to Netgalley and Aria Fiction for providing me with a review copy of this book in return for an honest review which is completely my own opinion.
What a pleasure to be back in the Pig and Whistle and be re-acquainted with all the residents of Mulberry Lane! Rosie Clarke's second book in this series continues with the ongoing saga of life in London during the Blitz.We find out how Peggy and her family are managing in the local pub, struggling to maintain a business despite rationing and bombing. Janet, her daughter, is striving to come to terms with her injured husband having lost his memory but has to keep going for the sake of their baby daughter Maggie. Son Pip is now serving in the RAF, with very intermittent trips home. Her husband, Laurie, continues to work for the war effort and is posted far from home, but the shadow of his affair with a younger woman casts a long shadow. Friend Maureen's life continues but no longer at the beck and call of her father, she has taken up nursing and has Rory back in her life. She finds herself with a whole new set of friends through her new career and is feeling loved, valued and happy with her vocation. We pick up the threads of life with all the characters from the first novel popping up, and it's a truly great sequel. The strength of the local women during this time is astounding .. surviving on low rations with a dearth of goods in the shops and yet they look after each other and it is easy to see why they didn't go back to being subservient after the war was over. Having to make decisions on a daily basis to keep not only their families, but the community, together. This is both a fascinating and entertaining read. I've always been fond of books set in this period and am already looking forward to the next in this series. Definitely a set of novels not to be missed! My thanks to publishers Aria for approving my copy via NetGalley. This is my honest, original and unbiased review.
Excellent reading.Happy and sad at the same time.Real life stories of wartime lives.Looking forward to follow up book.
I am enjoying the ongoing stories of the lives of all the characters who live in and around Mulberry Lane. Will be looking forward to the next book.
Did not want the story to end. When you care about the characters you know it's a group book.

Q: Making divs behave like a table, without using display: table JSFiddle with the problem
The headers should aline nicely with the content
Everything is allowed, just not using table elements

        min-width: 100px;
    }
    div div {
        min-width: 100px;
    }

A: Prelude
Whilst you're right to be weary of using tables, if you use them to represent tabular data, that's fine!
But, as you rightly said, there are quite a few caveats of them; especially how certain browsers interpret them differently, as illustrated in your Firefox 4 example in the comments section.
Whilst i think some of the aforementioned issues could be overcome with CSS table styles, hacks and workarounds, i don't think it's worth the hassle or overhead.
If you're not satisfied with HTML tables, or CSS table styles, we could emulate some
 properties.

    padding: 10px;
    vertical-align: top;
}
.children > p > span{
    vertical-align: middle;
}

DEMO

A: If you are looking for identical widths on your DIVs, min-width is probably not the way to go.  This only ensures the elements are a minimum width.  If the content in one "cell" exceeds this, they won't line up.
Maybe try width instead of min-width?  Or a larger min-width?

I am now officially half way through my pregnancy!
I'm pleased to say that so far it's been pretty smooth sailing and that our little baby is doing well. My belly is rapidly growing and is much bigger than it was at 20 weeks in my last pregnancy. I'm feeling little kicks and those pesky (but not painful) braxton hicks contractions have started. I've had those from about 5 months on wards with each pregnancy so that's pretty normal for me.
Due to the problems I experienced in my last pregnancy my obstetrician and perinatologist are being super cautious and carrying out lots of extra tests and ultrasounds just to make sure that everything is fine. I had my 20 week scan two weeks ago at 18 weeks and I'm happy to report that everything was perfectly normal. Our little one is right on track for her growth and this time around the placenta has formed properly. Yay!
You might have noticed I used the word "her" there. That's right, we're having another little girl. It seems I'm only able to make girls! We wanted another little girl though so we're happy with that.
The only hiccup in this pregnancy has been a diagnosis of gestational diabetes. Actually, I've been diagnosed as having an increased risk of gestational diabetes but the doctors take this just as seriously. As a result I've had to cut down my sugar intake, keep a food diary and test my blood sugar levels several times a day. Cutting down on sugar is not quite as easy as it sounds as it's in everything! If it was just a case of skipping chocolate bars and soda it would be super easy. Unfortunately it also involves cutting down the amount of fruit, dairy, pasta and bread that I eat. Those things make up almost my entire diet! Fruit and dairy for breakfast are a big no no and that's what I'm struggling with the most. What I wouldn't give for a big glass of freshly squeezed orange juice first thing in the morning! Luckily my blood sugar levels have tested fine so far (if anything they're actually usually low) so I'm allowed to add in a little extra fruit etc. And I've been able to cut down the amount of testing from four times a day to two or three times. My sore finger tips are pleased about that bit! Gestational diabetes tends to get worse later on in pregnancy so while my sugar levels are fine now I may find that later on I need to cut my sugar levels even more. The good thing is that it usually goes away once the baby is born so in 20 weeks time I can treat myself to a big piece of fudge - along with camembert, smoked salmon and a glass of wine!
It still doesn't really feel all that real that we'll have another baby in 20 weeks time. I guess once I make it past the 24 week mark (when we lost our last baby) it will start to feel a little more real.
Oh, and how is this for weird... Now that it's December, I have officially been pregnant for at least part of every single month of this year. Eek!

Top WWE Star No Longer Expected To Win The Royal Rumble 2018 Match, Jim Ross' Birthday
• Old School Wrestling Legend Celebrates His Birthday
Legendary Old School Wrestling Commentator "Good Ol' J.R." Jim Ross (Real name: James William Ross) turns 66 today.
Ross started to make a name for himself as an announcer and on commentary in Bill Watts' UWF Mid-South Wrestling Territory and came to Jim Crockett Promotions when they bought the promotion in 1987.
In 1993, Vince hired J.R. to a World Wrestling Federation contract and Ross made his TV debut at the 'WWF WrestleMania 9' PPV.
Him and Jerry "The King" Lawler are considered the voices of the legendary Attitude Era, which is why they got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY J.R.!
• Top WWE Star No Longer Expected To Win The Royal Rumble 2018 Match
As we noted before, 16 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena was the favorite to win the Men's Royal Rumble 2018 match.
However, that's not the case anymore as Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer recently that Cena is in a "much bigger match than Styles" (referring to the theory that if Cena won the Royal Rumble then he would've faced the WWE Champion AJ Styles at WrestleMania 34).
Meltzer said that Cena's WrestleMania 34 opponent is expected to be one of the following big names:
– The Undertaker
– Goldberg
– Batista
Cena's WrestleMania 34 angle might begin on the 25th anniversary episode of Raw on January 22, 2018.
We'll keep you updated regarding the favorite to win the Men's Royal Rumble 2018 match.

Royal Air Maroc's Oneworld membership will begin in April
Zach Wichter
Oneworld, the airline alliance anchored by American Airlines and British Airways, announced Wednesday that Royal Air Maroc will officially join the group starting April 1.
Royal Air Maroc will be the first African airline to join Oneworld, and its inclusion in the group was first tentatively announced in December 2018.
"We are honored and delighted to welcome Royal Air Maroc into the alliance, adding our first full member in the fast-growing African continent. The quality service and global network offered by Royal Air Maroc will position Oneworld as the preferred alliance in Africa, where Casablanca is a leading global financial center," Oneworld CEO Rob Gurney said in a statement.
Sign up for the free daily TPG newsletter for more airline news.
Royal Air Maroc, the first new airline to become a full Oneworld member since 2014, carried about 7.5 million passengers in 2019.
Royal Air Maroc had previously announced a codeshare partnership with American Airlines, a move that came as Royal Air Maroc worked toward membership in the alliance during a 15-month "implementation program." With the codeshare agreement, American and Royal Air Maroc can sell tickets on each other's flights under their own flight numbers. American also recently announced its first service to Africa.
With a hub at Casablanca, Royal Air Maroc will give American and its other Oneworld partners more access to destinations in Morocco and Africa. Royal Air Maroc currently flies from Casablanca to four U.S. destinations: Boston, Miami, New York JFK and Washington Dulles.
Related: What Royal Air Maroc joining Oneworld means for American Airlines flyers
The other full members of Oneworld are Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LATAM, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian, SriLankan and Russian carrier S7.
Qatar Airways was the most recent airline to join as a full member, gaining entry in 2012. But the group also will lose a member later this year with South American giant LATAM. That carrier said it will leave the group — likely by October — after Delta acquired a stake in LATAM, which had previously been aligned with American — a founding member of Oneworld.
TPG previously reported that Royal Air Maroc would become part of Oneworld on March 31.

Q: How to organize exchanges and queues in rabbitmq to use with async CQRS buses I'm scaffolding my backend application and I want to use CQRS and rabbitmq with it (I'm pretty new to rabbitmq).  For that, I have specified different vhosts for my prod and dev environments, but I'm not sure how to use exchanges and queues for command, events and query buses.
Should I use just one exchange, named for example CQRS and three different queues for commands, queries and events?
Or maybe should I use three different exchanges (named query_bus, command_bus and event_bus) and inside each one map one queue to every possible command query and event using routing keys?
Thanks!

A: You should have separate queues for different content (commands, queries...).
Because then its easier to see if the command or query side is lagging/slow by examining the length of each queue. The queue length gives you nice charts for your dashboard.

The Famously NSFW Pirelli Calendar Is Getting a Big Change for 2016
By John Jannuzzi
Every year, Italian tire company Pirelli releases a wildly NSFW calendar of basically naked models shot by a huge name. Last year, Steven Meisel gave us one of the most shocking editions yet (see it here), and in their grand tradition, Pirelli is set to shock us yet again. However, this time, the shock isn't the NSFW factor, but its remarkably SFW nature, shot by photography legend Annie Leibovitz. She puts it quite simply: "This calendar is so completely different. It is a departure. The idea was not to have any pretense in these pictures and be very straightforward." Based on these behind-the-scenes photos, we can't disagree. Leibovitz further explains that she wanted to create a classic set of portraits of "women who have achieved something," she continues, "I thought that the women should look strong but natural and I decided to keep it a very simple exercise of shooting in the studio."
The 2016 calendar will feature punk legend Patty Smith, Yoko Ono, Amy Schumer, Agnes Gund, Ava Duvernay, Fran Lebowitz, Kathleen Kennedy, Mellody Hobson, Natalia Vodianova, Serena Williams, Shriin Neshat, Tavi Gevinson, and Yao Chen. You'll get a chance to peruse the entire thing on October 20 on Pirelli's website. Until then, you've still got a few months left to savor the 2015 edition. (And if you're really interested, just buy the book.)

Just as an update to this ticket, I'm seeing the same problem trying to install Mac::Carbon under the shiny new perl5.10.0. It would be great to see this fixed so that 5.10.0 is fully usable on Leopard. Just sorry I have no idea how to fix it. Simon.
Just confirming that Jeff's patch / workaround worked for me as well. Uncommenting line 159 makes all the tests successful and makes it build properly on MacOS X 10.5.6, Intel, perl 5.10.0. I hit this issue while trying to install an updated Bundle::CPAN, which required File::HomeDir (more specifically File::HomeDir::Darwin), which required Mac::Files which required Mac::Carbon. It would be great to see this patched and released to CPAN so others won't have any issues building this module on MacOS X 10.5.
> It would be great to see this patched and released to CPAN so others > won't have any issues > building this module on MacOS X 10.5.
Jeff's workaround makes the test happy in Leopard/Intel/5.8.8 as well.
Can you please release a new version with this patch applied? -- Best regards, Ruslan.
> Can you please release a new version with this patch applied?
This being broken with default cpan settings results in a cpan that won't even start without manually removing stuff that requires it from the library directory. Why has this not been fixed in such a long time even though the fix is so simple?

Business Alignment
Server & Hosting Management
CRM Management
What are the essential ingredients to a successful business organization? State of the art infrastructure, top – notch talents and a strong leadership. But all these resources need d to be guided in a particular direction in order to achieve common goal and satisfactory results.

Organizational alignment is need of the hour.
Similarly in an organization, different departments need to work in an alignment, this is especially true in current scenario of cut throat competition, fast paced and ever changing environment. The conflict of interest in various departments can lead to organizational debacle which will be very difficult to recover from.
