The Pirlo disaster costs Juve £78M and Ronaldo
Pirlo has been criticised for showing naivety in the high leverage moments during this season
Cristiano Ronaldo's future in Turin beyond the next three games is now a real discussion
The Andrea Pirlo experiment is close to being shut down after the rookie coach suffered another damaging defeat in Juventus' pursuit of Champions League football.
Pirlo, a playing legend in Italy, showed his tactical naivety in a 3-0 defeat to AC Milan, which leaves top-four qualification out of Juventus' hands with three games remaining.
Having won the previous nine Serie A titles prior to this season, missing out on the top four – and the Champions League next season – would be as reputationally damaging as it is financially.
Andrea Pirlo is on the thinnest of tightropes after Juventus were humbled 3-0 by AC Milan
Not since 2011-12, Antonio Conte's first year in charge, have Juventus been without Champions League football but with a tricky run-in of Sassuolo, Inter Milan and Bologna remaining, it is a distinct possibility.
Pirlo and his players have been heavily criticised and labelled an 'embarrassment' given the wealth of success that came before them.
Sportsmail breaks down what missing out on the Champions League would mean for Pirlo, the club accounts and the future of star man Cristiano Ronaldo.
Is this the final straw for Pirlo?
There have been times this season where Pirlo has given the impression of a man with seven lives.
Plenty felt he should have been axed after Champions League elimination to Porto but as Andrea Agnelli stood by him it was hoped that faith would be rewarded.
Pirlo has reportedly already sealed his destiny and he will not be in charge of Juventus come the end of the season.
According to Tuttosport, Juventus has already made a decision on the future of the head coach but it is not yet clear if he will be axed immediately or at the conclusion of the campaign.
Speaking after defeat to AC Milan, Pirlo promised to continue giving maximum effort until he is shown the door by his superiors.
'My desire to be a coach does not change not even after this defeat. I will continue to do so,' he told Sky Sport Italia.
'I don't expect anything. I spoke with the club before and after the match and I am willing to accept any decision. I am the Juventus manager at the moment and in the end the club will make decisions.
'If I didn't succeed it means that I did something wrong. I am convinced of the choice I made in saying "yes" to Juventus. I had to adapt to certain situations, with the players I had available, with certain players it is difficult to play a certain type of football.'
POTENTIAL SUB IN TURIN: Massimiliano Allegri
POTENTIAL SUB IN TURIN: Zinedine Zidane
Even with this disastrous season to digest, the job would be highly coveted and Massimiliano Allegri, Zinedine Zidane and Gian Piero Gasperini would all be in the frame. If Pirlo has taught Juventus anything it is that experience is priceless.
One of his biggest problems has been his lack of a tactical philosophy; a lack of ideas and a lack of ability to manage the team in decisive moments of the season.
Pirlo's preferred 4-4-2 formation has proven ineffective with the players at his disposal. The team inherited from Allegri and Sarri was built on 4-3-3 but Pirlo has distorted the tactical DNA and created a short circuit which has suffocated this side of creativity.
Juventus managed just one shot on target against AC Milan from 16 attempts and while the midfield has badly let Pirlo down, he has shown an inability to problem solve on the fly during high-leverage moments this season.
So, they finish fifth… what happens?
Fifth would be a disaster – that's the first thing. There's a reason Agnelli has pushed so hard for the formation of a closed-shop European Super League.
But, if they do miss out on next season's Champions League, decisive action is needed off the pitch, beyond just disposing of Pirlo.
Juventus need to save millions and without the Champions League they will be forced to cut at least one top player from the team.
The club hierarchy of sporting director Fabio Paratici (left), vice president Pavel Nedved (second left) and chairman Andrea Agnelli (second from right) face major financial woes
The Bianconeri were recently ranked by Forbes magazine as the 11th most valuable football team in the world, with an estimated value of $1.95billion (£1.38bn), and a revenue of $441m (£313m) in 2020.
But cause for concern arrives in the knowledge that Juventus appear to be operating at a loss of $14million (£9.9m) in the last financial year, while club debts have reached 16 per cent.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on finances has been devastating but missing the top four – and therefore missing the Champions League – would see Juventus miss out on £78m.
With Paulo Dybala and Ronaldo the two high-profile stars out of contract in 2022, as much as sporting director Fabio Paratici has argued to the contrary, keeping the pair outside of Europe's top competition seems fanciful.
Will Cristiano Ronaldo stick around?
For Europa League? I wouldn't bet on it.
As outlined above, Juventus need to make some big savings if they remain outside the top four and few savings would be greater than moving Ronaldo on 12 months early.
Ronaldo is said to feel blameless in Juventus' domestic collapse given his 27 league goals look set to secure him the top scorer in Italy award this season.
The 36-year-old does not want to give up the Champions League after so many years at the top level and it is believed his future will not be in Turin because his desire to play in Europe is stronger than any love for the club.
Ronaldo (right) is out of contract in 2022 but no Champions League could speed up his exit
Without the Champions League, Ronaldo is expected to ask to be sold even if his agent, Jorge Mendes, is unable to identify a rival team ready to match Juventus' salary of around €31m (£26.8m) a year.
The issue Juventus face is they cannot simply write off Ronaldo's contract to let him walk out of the door for nothing.
If Agnelli and Paratici elected to move on from Ronaldo they would have their work cut out trying to find a suitor that is willing to stump up around £25m to buy him in a climate when clubs are arranging squad-wide salary cuts, even with their biggest stars, just to stay afloat.
Many players would be affected by tightening of purse strings outside top four but few have suitors after such a dismal season.
If Ronaldo, who was awarded the title of 'GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)' by the club this year after he passed Pele's career competitive goals tally, does depart his time will be viewed as lots of money and no European success.
Juventus found real joy with the Portuguese star on the pitch in Italy, winning the Scudetto twice and the Italian Super Cup twice. But in three campaigns of the Champions League with Ronaldo he has only played roles in disaster movies: elimination in the quarter-finals against Ajax, out in the last-16 against Lyon and out again in the last-16 against Porto.
Agnelli's major economic gamble in 2018 has ultimately been a failure worth around €340m (£293m) and the reason he arrived, to win in Europe, was never met.
What has been the reaction in Italy?
Damning, to say the least.
Former England manager Fabio Capello described defeat to Milan at home as embarrassing and he pointed the finger at Pirlo for setting up without a clear identity.
'What we saw tonight was embarrassing,' Capello, working as a pundit, said.
'It looked like Juve from Udine, without ideas, against a Milan that did its part. We saw a team without aggression, which woke up after the penalty missed by (Franck) Kessie, but it is too little.
'I have lived many nights like this and I tell Pirlo not to be disheartened but sometimes it seems that a leader is missing.'
Milan's win was huge for their top-four hopes but Juventus were labelled an 'embarrassment'
The team is flat and appears badly constructed and badly trained. The worst nightmare seems to have come true: there is no identity and the club does not seem to have the strength to reverse this negative trend in the run-in to snatch a Champions League spot.
Alessandro Del Piero, a legend of Juventus, savaged Pirlo and his players on Sky after the Milan loss.
'Today the team was empty,' Del Piero said. 'Milan were brilliant despite the injuries. Juve remained without grit even after the 0-1. Today's team is full of foreign players, the club's DNA has been lost.'
Former Juventus midfielder Angelo Di Livio told TMW Radio that 'if he loves the club, Andrea Pirlo must take a step back', given how disastrous this season has been.
As much as Pirlo is loved, this chastening spell in charge has seen sympathy wane with no tactical identity after a full season in charge.

Ontario will not appeal court ruling against carbon tax stickers, minister says
Adam Burns
Published October 1, 2020 Updated October 1, 2020
A gas pump displays an anti-carbon tax sticker in Toronto, on Aug. 29, 2019.
Chris Young/The Canadian Press
Ontario will not appeal a court ruling against its anti-carbon tax stickers, the government said Thursday, putting an end to an 18-month political and legal battle between Ottawa and the province.
Last month, a Superior Court judge struck down a law that forced Ontario gas stations to display the stickers, calling it unconstitutional. Energy Minister Greg Rickford said the province will abide by that decision.
"We stand by our position that Ontarians deserve to know the true cost of the federal carbon tax," Mr. Rickford said in a statement. "Right now, however, our sole focus is protecting the health and well-being of the people of Ontario as we continue to battle COVID-19."
Justice Edward Morgan ruled in early September that Premier Doug Ford and his Progressive Conservative government overstepped in mandating the stickers, saying the Federal Carbon Tax Transparency Act could not be justified under the charter.
"A government or political party can, in the words of Ontario's Minister of Energy, 'stick it to' another tier of government or political party as a matter of free speech in an election campaign or otherwise," Justice Morgan wrote. "But a government cannot legislate a requirement that private retailers post a sticker designed to accomplish that task."
Under the law, gas stations that didn't display the stickers faced fines of up to $10,000 a day, though a judge later lowered the daily penalty to $150.
Justice Morgan said in his ruling that the companies can now choose to leave the stickers up or tear them down.
The stickers show the federal carbon tax adding 4.4 cents a litre to the price of gas now, rising to 11 cents a litre in 2022. They do not include information about rebates available to residents.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association, which brought the challenge a year ago, welcomed news of the province's decision not to appeal the ruling.
"Not forcing businesses to convey their own political messages is a good call" by the Tory government, the CCLA said in a tweet.
Ontario Green party Leader Mike Schreiner said the anti-carbon tax stickers belong in the "dustbin of history.
"I still cannot believe the Premier thought he could get away with this ridiculous stunt," Mr. Schreiner said in a statement. "The Premier has given up on this embarrassing scheme, but it doesn't change his total inaction on the climate crisis."
Mr. Ford has defended his "Made in Ontario" climate change plan, saying in late 2019 that the province was on track to meet its emissions reduction targets for 2030 – a claim the province's auditor general has said is not based on sound evidence.
The New Democrats on Thursday called on the government to release the full cost of the "stickers that didn't stick," including design and legal fees.
"We are relieved that Ford will not challenge this decision. We remain horrified that it happened in the first place," NDP energy critic Peter Tabuns said in a statement.
Editor's note: (Oct. 1, 2020): This story has been updated to correct the date of the Superior Court ruling.
In 2018, the federal government announced that all provinces would need to implement a carbon-pricing system by April 1, 2019 and those that didn't would fall under a federal carbon tax. But what is carbon pricing anyway?

Research and industry partnership helps forge 21st century metallurgy
Hands-on research experience puts materials science and engineering senior Gideon Crawford at the forefront of additive manufacturing for defense and industry

At 12 years old, Gideon Crawford was making knives in the family basement, and now, as a Virginia Tech senior in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, he's helping forge the future of metallurgy.
Crawford is part of the Yu Research Group, led by Assistant Professor Hang Yu, whose lab partners with Christiansburg's MELD Manufacturing Corp., at the leading edge of 3D printing metals for industry and national defense.
The technology, called additive friction stir deposition (AFSD), is relatively new, dating to the early 2000s, and students in Yu's lab are helping develop this scalable, low-temperature process that could benefit a range of industries.
Through his work in the lab, Crawford is not just learning to prepare samples for analysis and write research summaries in his senior year, he's stoking a passion and building a resume.
"During my tour of campus, my mom and I dropped in on Michelle Czamanske, the advisor for materials science and engineering, and she spent an hour talking to us about the program and all of the opportunities for undergraduate research here," Crawford said. "This convinced me that I could grow and learn during my time as an undergraduate."
The research experience in Yu's lab may put him more in demand with employers and graduate programs, a major goal of the College of Engineering and the wider university.
AFSD constitutes a major step forward in additive manufacturing, Yu said. The forging-based additive process allows some of the size and shape advantages found in casting, while increasing strength and decreasing impurities. And there's much left to explore from a research standpoint.
Yu discovered the MELD's AFSD process after arriving at Virginia Tech in 2016, and today his lab is doing about $1.9 million in research on AFSD funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Science Foundation, and Ford Motor Co.
He also is wrapping up work on the first major academic book on the subject, titled "Additive Friction Stir Deposition," which is scheduled to be published on July 1 by Elsevier, a Netherlands-based company specializing in scientific, technical, and medical content.
"We think this is definitely going to have some big impact in areas where aluminum is important. The defense department uses a lot of high-strength aluminum, which is hard to repair," Yu said. But AFSD repairs done in his lab "have good mechanical properties. We also explore other materials, like copper, steel, or even titanium."

Traditional casting of these metals uses high heat to melt the material, which is then poured into molds to cool. With this approach, metals can be used to form a range of shapes and sizes. But the process can introduce impurities and compromise the strength of the finished product, Yu said. The act of forging heats metal and uses pressure to deform it without melting. While this process creates a stronger product with fewer impurities, the shapes and sizes of forged products are limited.
But MELD's specially designed printers spin metal feedstocks at high speeds against substrates to heat them. The machine also exerts downward pressure and moves in various directions depending on the design being printed. Under these conditions, the metal flows without melting and can be deposited in strongly bonded layers to build seamless components in various shapes and sizes.
In MELD's plant in Montgomery County's Falling Branch Corporate Park, a 10-foot-diameter seamless aluminum cylinder hangs on the wall and hints, founder and CEO Nanci Hardwick said, at the untapped potential for her company's technology.
"If you were to do this in a metal with a different technology, it wouldn't be flat. And this came off the printer table just like this," Hardwick said. "So to make something this big with this much metal and have it still be flat — not misshapen from residual stresses from excess heat — is really significant."
The number of potential applications also is exciting.
"It could be a fuel tank or spacecraft. It could be the structural body of the underwater vehicle like a submarine," Hardwick said. "There are numerous parts of this size in large ships like aircraft carriers. So there are a number of cylinders of varying sizes that are used in all kinds of vehicles and products across industries."
Normally those are made by traditional forging or casting, but right now, clients of that kind of manufacturing are experiencing long wait times for orders.
"So some of our customers are interested in this ability to make really large parts just because it will allow them to speed their construction schedule by one and two years," Hardwick said.
MELD primarily builds and sells its printing machines to research institutions like Virginia Tech, government agencies like the Department of Defense, and a range of heavy industries, Hardwick said. In fact, the company is working with the Army to build a machine big enough to print tank components. It will be capable of printing parts up to 12 feet tall, making it one of the largest metal printers operating today.
Students from Hang Yu's Additive Friction Stir Deposition research team include, from left, Adam Seigler, Jake Yoder, Alex Koelsch, Ryan Gottwald, Kendall Knight, Robert Callaham, Gideon Crawford, Doug Hartley, and Greg Hahn. Photo by Tonia Moxley for Virginia Tech.
To build its customer base, MELD relies on good research and development by partners, such as Yu's lab, to prove the benefits of its technology.
"They're so critical for us because they have expertise. They have one of our machines, and they have world-class characterization equipment," Hardwick said. "Because this is a new process, our customers need to know a lot of information about the material that we print, and Virginia Tech is helping us get that information."
Doctoral candidate Jake Yoder has been a big part of that relationship over the past four years. In addition to his work in Yu's lab, Yoder works part time at MELD to explore how AFSD might be used on high-value materials like titanium.
"There's fundamentally no restriction on which metals you can print," Yoder said.
Furthermore, there's so far no technical limit on how fast the process can print.
"I've personally seen aluminum run at 50 pounds an hour, which is very fast," he said. "They haven't reached any technical limits on that number. I'm very excited to see how much further you can push it."

Sathya Sai Schools integrate educare with traditional curriculum promoting students with good character skilled in academic areas. Sai Baba established the first Sathya Sai School in India in 1968. By the early 1990s Sathya Sai Schools began to be established outside India, and Institutes of Sathya Sai Education (ISSE) were soon established to train teachers and assure quality. There are now 31 Institutes of Sathya Sai Education (ISSEs) in 31 countries, and 37 Sathya Sai Schools around the world.
Inspired by the teachings of Sai Baba the Bal Vikas programme was established in India in 1969 to teach the country's spiritual heritage to children of devotees. Later to be known as Sai Spiritual Education (SSE) outside India, the programmes promoted Unity of Religions, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, and stories about the life of Sathya Sai Baba. By the 1980s the SSE programme was also adapted to foster human and spiritual values in children of parents who were not devotees without the focus on a specific spiritual leader. This new programme called Sathya Sai Education in Human Values (SSEHV) is taught in community and after-school settings.

Alumna Caroline Murtagh named 2021 Knight-Hennessy Scholar
Author: Erin Blasko
Caroline Murtagh '19, a former International Development Studies minor who co-chaired Kellogg's Human Development Conference as a senior, has been named a 2021 Knight-Hennessy Scholar. She is Notre Dame's second Knight-Hennessy Scholar after Alexis Doyle, a former Rhodes Scholar who won the award in 2019.
Established in 2016, the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program is an international graduate-level scholarship program that cultivates and supports a highly engaged, multidisciplinary and multicultural community of graduate students at Stanford University in California.
First awarded in 2018, it covers tuition as well as academic, living and travel expenses for up to three years in support of any graduate or professional degree at Stanford.
In applying for the award, Murtagh, of Andover, Massachusetts, worked closely with the Flatley Center for Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement (CUSE), which promotes the intellectual development of Notre Dame undergraduates through scholarly engagement, research, creative endeavors and the pursuit of fellowships.
"We are thrilled that in its first four cohorts the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program has already selected two outstanding Notre Dame alumni to join them. Caroline is truly deserving of this opportunity. The work that she has undertaken at Notre Dame with the Kellogg Institute, in Uganda with the Fulbright Program and in Massachusetts and Florida with Partners In Health has demonstrated that not only is Caroline an exceptional scholar, but also an exceptional public servant," said Jeffrey Thibert, the Paul and Maureen Stefanick Director of CUSE. "She already has been a force for good in the world, and the medical education she receives at Stanford combined with the leadership training and mentoring she receives as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar will allow her to expand the scope of her ability to do good even further."
Murtagh is a 2019 Notre Dame graduate, and former Fulbright student, with a degree in biological sciences and international development studies. As an undergraduate, Murtagh served as a resident assistant in Pasquerilla West Hall and as the co-chair of the 2019 Human Development Conference. She was co-president of Aquatic Relief for Kids and an officer for Special Friends Club.
Away from campus, Murtagh traveled to Uganda to shadow and learn in rural clinics. After witnessing the devastating impact that blood shortages had on patients, she returned to Uganda the following summer to partner with blood collection agencies in Kampala to research facilitators and barriers toward blood donation. Learn more about her work in Uganda here.
Murtagh receives 2019 Bartell Prize
She was the recipient of the first Rev. Ernest J. Bartell, CSC, Prize for Undergraduate Research on Poverty and Development, and her work has been published in the Journal of Social Science and Medicine.
After graduation, Murtagh worked with Partners in Health to support post-Ebola health system strengthening efforts in Liberia and later as a case investigator and unit lead with the COVID-19 Community Tracing Collaborative in Massachusetts. She currently serves as a project manager with the Partners in Health U.S. Public Health Accompaniment Unit, where she accompanies stakeholders on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic in Immokalee, Florida, to implement an effective and equitable COVID-19 response.
As a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, Murtagh plans to pursue a doctorate at Stanford School of Medicine. Professionally, she aspires to partner with historically marginalized communities, engage in multi-sector collaboration and advance the equitable redistribution of resources to alleviate structural causes of health inequities
"I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, professors and mentors who have accompanied me throughout this journey of personal and professional development," Murtagh said. "In particular, I'd like to thank Dr. Jeff Thibert, who guided me throughout this process with encouragement and compassion, as well as Professor Steve Reifenberg, Professor Erin McDonnell, Professor Terence McDonnell, Holly Rivers and Dr. Amy Stark, whose endless support fostered transformative academic growth throughout my time at Notre Dame."
She continued, "I am also incredibly grateful for my colleagues at Partners In Health, especially Dr. Daniel Palazuelos, Dr. Fernet Leandre and our team of COVID-19 health promoters, who have shown me the importance of empathy, resilience and humility in advancing accessible and equitable health care systems.
"I seek to use the privilege that comes with being a physician to both accompany patients in underserved settings and to partner with communities in addressing the underlying structural causes of health inequities in order to operationalize health care as a human right."

The student government at the University of California, Berkeley reportedly endorsed a divestment bill.
The Associated Students of the University of California, Berkeley passed the bill by a wide margin early Thursday morning, it was reported.
The Daily Californian had reported that the association was considering the bill late Wednesday night.
Despite global efforts by pro-Palestinian groups, no American university has yet taken steps to divest specifically from companies alleged to support Israel's military presence in the Palestinian Authority. Last year, Hampshire College's trustees approved a measure to divest from 200 companies deemed to be in violation of the school's investment guidelines, among them a number of companies that do business with Israel.
A student group, Students for Justice in Palestine, had initiated the process that led to that decision and subsequently claimed that the school had divested from Israel. The school denied that Israel had been targeted, an announcement endorsed by the Anti-Defamation League and Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz.

How rushed deals are wasting billions
Tuesday November 20 2018
Road construction. FILE PHOTO | NMG
Ministries, agencies and State corporations uncontrolled appetite for mega projects continue to expose taxpayers to losses through badly thought contracts even as questions abound on the viability of such plans.
And as new projects continue to be rolled out in various sectors across the country, it appears that those who win government tenders are almost guaranteed of billions of shillings from the weak, disorganised and inefficient State processes that most of the time fail to stick to the contract.
Kenya's landscape is dotted with projects whose delivery was delayed or even shoddily done.
By PATRICK ALUSHULA
Kenya's landscape is dotted with projects whose delivery was delayed or even shoddily done. Yet, some contractors still keep winning tenders, walking away with money for work not done.
Barely two weeks ago, Petroleum and Mining Cabinet Secretary John Munyes told Parliament that the government will have to pay a Chinese firm Sh2 billion following the change of mind on which company should undertake the much-awaited mineral mapping survey.
"At the time Geti was put on hold, we already had a running contract with them. A contract is binding and, therefore, we have to pay at the end of the day," said Mr Munyes.
This captures a glimpse of losses that taxpayers are going to bear after the government froze the deal with Geological Exploration Technology Institute (Geti) opting for the survey to be done by local geologists and the National Intelligence Service.
Kenya had inked a commercial contract with Geti in May 19, 2014 but the process has been dragging on owing to missed reactions on the safety and integrity of the report, which is supposed to disclose location, type and estimated value of minerals in the country.
Delayed implementation of such projects yet contracts have been signed, points to a State machinery that lacks a solid team to plan before putting pen to paper, according to a public policy and economic analyst Robert Shaw.
"Government does not have a strong legal team specialising in supporting the tendering process. Companies are more skilled than government and capitalise on non-watertight tenders to their advantage," says Mr Shaw.
Another Chinese contractor, Anhui Construction Engineering Group Ltd in a joint venture with China Aero-Technology International Engineering Corporation, was paid Sh4.3 billion yet no work had been done on the cancelled Greenfield Terminal at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
This was in the hands of Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). The payment was in addition to Sh413.5 million paid to consultants and law firms. The project was to be implemented on design-and-build but was terminated on grounds that the contract was void from the beginning.
The National Social Security Fund (NSSF), another State entity, risks costing taxpayers Sh6.9 billion if Chinese contractor, China Jiangxi International, is granted its prayers to be compensated the sum due to the stalled construction of Nairobi's Hazina Trade Centre. The claim is above the original contract price of Sh6.7 billion.
The same firm wants NSSF to pay it Sh2.1 billion as compensation for the stalled Phase six of Nyayo Estate Embakasi project.
It is alleged that the fund's board entered into a contract with the Chinese firm without securing the necessary approvals from City Hall, leading to a stalled project.
"You jumped the gun. You engaged a contractor without securing change of user. We want proper and detailed submissions on this project," Public Investments committee chairperson Abdulswamad Nassir told NSSF in May.
The same month, three road contractors, including two Chinese firms, slapped Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) with a Sh6 billion bill that arose from variations of their contracts and delayed payments by the Treasury.
In July, a standoff in Turkana stopped an oil evacuation exercise, costing taxpayers Sh1 billion in compensation to companies involved. Locals stopped the early oil export programme demanding security and their share of jobs and tenders.
The trend continues from last year when the Lake Turkana Wind Power also hit the Treasury with a Sh14.6 billion bill for failure to finish the transmission line from its Marsabit wind farm to Suswa. Treasury has paid Sh5.7 billion while Sh9.36 billion is to be paid over a six-year period.
Treasury noted in September that without any methodological guidance on efficient public investments, the basis for consistent and comprehensive project appraisal is missing. It added that the absence of a public investment management framework opened room for shoddy projects.
"The result is a bloated project portfolio, unpredictable funding, stalled projects, and inflated costs contributing to the under-execution of budgets and delayed translation of the investment in projected economic growth," noted Treasury.
Apart from proposing a framework to guide funding of projects, Treasury's Rotich now wants State contracts to be subjected to tight checks before a final decision is made to sign them, especially when external financing is involved.
"Kindly note that the check-list of mandatory requirements are critical in mitigating the government against any potential financial risks of paying commitment fees and other charges on loan amounts due to delays in commencement of project implantation," Mr Rotich says in the memo.
But before such measures happen, wastage and regrets remain evident. Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), finds itself stuck in a Sh17 billion excise tax stamps supply agreement with a Swiss firm that has no provisions for compensation in the event of a breach of the contract.
In October, Parliament described the 2015 contract as skewed since it only ties KRA and not the Swiss firm to make reimbursement in the event of partial or full termination of the contract.
"I raised this matter when I was in Switzerland recently and the Swiss company said the contract is watertight on their part. They are convinced that even if MPs amended the law to exclude some excisable items, they are home and dry," PIC chairman, Mr Nassir said in Parliament.
According to Mr Shaw, the government will have to strengthen its tendering team or always be on the losing end when seated at the negotiation table.
"Government must train its personnel to have watertight tendering process. But sometimes it is also the issue of corruption," says Mr Shaw.
"Quite often, there is a deliberate omission in government agreements, leaving a hole for some costly claim."
And despite Energy Regulatory Commission promising Kenyans cheap power, the country is still stuck with expensive power purchase agreements signed in the past, without offering a favourable exit clause.
In May, Energy CS Charles Keter said that some of the thermal power plant Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) have financial and legal implications and will only be terminated once they reach end of contract.
Izael Da Silva, the chairman of the task force formed in 2016 to assess these agreements returned a harsh verdict in August this year.
"We are proposing termination of only those thermal power plants whose cost of termination is less than maintaining them until the end of their agreements," said Mr Izael.
The earliest some of the contracts for thermal electricity expire is 2023 when Tsavo Power's and Rabai Power's agreements end. Gulf Power, Triumph Power and Ibera Africa's contracts expire after 2031.
And many more similar losses are set to hit counties, according to Mr Shaw, who adds that devolved units are poised to be the next playing grounds for firms that want to make billions out of government inefficiencies.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies hosted fans at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday for their annual Phillies Phestival and raised $656,500 to help strike out Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a terminal illness with no known cause or cure.
For more than 30 years, the organization has partnered with the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the ALS Association, and together they have raised a total of nearly $17.7 million.
Their history of charitable actions earned the team the Allan H. Selig Award for Philanthropic Excellence this past season.
"To receive this prestigious award is indeed an honor, and one that we dedicate to the patients and families who live with or have succumbed to this awful disease," Phillies chairman David Montgomery said in a November news release after his organization was singled out for its charitable contributions.
Fans in attendance took part in a range of activities centered around donations. Dice-rolling games for prizes, a chance to throw in the bullpen and player autograph stations could be found all around the ballpark.
The experience for the players and coaches is meaningful, taking them out of their everyday baseball routines to work with volunteers, the players' wives, and team and ballpark staff to give back to the fans and children while promoting and building awareness for ALS.
"I've been involved with this since it was a fashion show," Phillies third-base coach Juan Samuel said of the event's early years in the 1980s. "Any time I get a chance to come out and help out to eliminate a disease, it's something great that the organization is trying to do."
For third-year pitcher Jerad Eickhoff, his role as a recognized professional baseball player comes with this added responsibility to help raise awareness for worthy causes.
"It's very important [to give back like this]," Eickhoff said. "This is what it's all about, that's what this platform is for. Any time we can use that platform to give back and help others, it's the right thing to do."


Last year, Jonas had the opportunity to play with a national premier soccer team. It was an exciting adventure that he fully embraced, even though it came with several challenges. Our home field was about 45 minutes from our house, but we often practiced at various locations in Cleveland, which was easily an hour plus drive. But the good thing about driving to a city is that I could hit up Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, which I did often. Probably too often. Another one of the perks of this elite team was the travel, although at the end of the season I certainly was not calling it a perk. We traveled to Minneapolis, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and even as far as Dallas for a showcase. But for some reason, it seemed like we visited Chicago the most.
*This was prepared at home before we left.
Here is my recipe for waffles, which could easily be made into pancakes, although I have yet to try.
We headed straight for the Field Museum and spent about three hours touring there. Since we had a hearty lunch in the car, we knew we could squeeze in another activity so we decided to visit the Shedd Aquarium. Doing two museums back-to-back makes for a long day, but it was worth it! Make sure to check with your local museums about a discount at affiliate locations. With our membership to the McKinley Museum, we receive entrance into the Field Museum for free!
After a long day, we knew we needed some healthy fuel for the drive to the hotel. We embraced our Spanish heritage and sought out a tapas restaurant. Tapas Valencia was a short distance from the museums and offered creative Spanish tapas, unique cocktails and a lively atmosphere with walls adorned in multi-colored mosaic artwork reminiscent of the art of the great Spanish artists Joan Miro and Antoni Gaudí! I spoke with our server and went over the details of our lifestyle of eating and they were extremely accommodating to our needs! Everything Jonas ordered was cooked special to avoid any non SCD ingredients.
Eating out with strict dietary restrictions is very doable! I have been working on a post for some time and hope to share it here soon, but if you have any questions about eating out while on the SCD, Paleo or other clean-eating lifestyle diet please ask away! I will make sure to include a Q & A in my post.

1. On Homepage I installed an Masonry Imagegallery (extension), but texts are not ready for translate in other store views (extension works only global, not for store views). I managed to do it for the title (category_title) so that I could solve this with inline translation. But for the description text category and the image texts this solution (<? php echo $this->__ ($value[' category_title']);? > instead of <? php $value[' category_title'];? >) unfortunately does'nt works.

R.I.P The Postwar Order (1945-2017)
Home » R.I.P The Postwar Order (1945-2017)
An assessment of Trump's world
By Roger Cohen
These are troubling times. They remind me of a famous old Jewish cable: Start worrying. Details to follow.
Allow me to begin by saying the postwar order, a dry phrase, is personal to me: I was born in Europe—well, if you still call London part of Europe after the staggering act of irrational self-harm known as Brexit—and became an American. I live in Brooklyn, accent notwithstanding, but carry Europe in my bones. My father and uncle were hoisted as young men in their twenties out of faraway South Africa to join the Allied war effort, Jewish kids summoned back to the continent my family had left in time. My uncle, Bert Cohen of the 6th South African Armored Division, 19th Field Ambulance, gave me his war diary chronicling the Italian campaign. On July 21, 1944, he arrived Monte Cassino, abandoned by German forces a few weeks earlier after repeated Allied assaults. He had this to say:
"Poor Cassino, horror, wreck and desolation unbelievable, roads smashed and pitted, mines, booby traps and graves everywhere. Huge shell holes, craters filled with stagnant slime, smashed buildings, hardly outlines remaining, a silent sight of ghosts and shadows.
"Pictures should be taken of this monument to mankind's worst moments and circulated through every schoolroom in the world."
This was the memento mori offered by my uncle, then aged 25 and recently arrived in a bloody continent called Europe. He never saw the Lithuania his mother had left, land, by then, of dead Jews. Those pictures of Monte Cassino were not circulated; the miracle and fragility of European peace is too often forgotten today.
We succumb to amnesia at our peril. I was shaped by the second half of the twentieth century. If I did not end up doing what my uncle and father did, it is thanks to the interlocking ocean-jumping institutions of the postwar order, whose demise I have posited in my title today.
I try never to forget that.
It was not only Germans who enjoyed what Helmut Kohl once called "the blessing of late birth." In some way, every postwar European did, I among them.
I lived in Berlin from 1998 to 2001. I saw the capital return here after the Rhineland sojourn in bland Bonn. The city was a construction site. Cranes hoisted the new, but the past was not erased; a united Germany needed its steady admonition. I witnessed the miracle: Germany unified, within NATO, its borders no longer contested; the German problem that had given thousands of US diplomats at the Bonn Embassy sleepless nights resolved.
When I lived here, I would sometimes cross the Polish border. Poland is close to Berlin, as Poles know, and long knew much too well. I had to pinch myself, with the border near invisible, to recall that these were "bloodlands," in Timothy Snyder's phrase, the last resting place of millions. Yet here, only decades later, there stretched before me the tranquility that NATO and the European Union and statesmanship had brought.
None of this would have happened without the transatlantic alliance, without the Berlin Airlift and the Marshall Plan, without America as a European power.
Constancy and strength in pursuit of strategy are wearing on their opponents. This great Academy is also about that: the constancy of bonds that over time bring healing and freedom.
We are not talking about abstractions here. We are talking about the shaping of a continent where free people are able to pursue happiness, indulge their imaginations and fashion their fates in peace and security rather refight old wars or be subjected to the totalitarian whim of the Soviet imperium.
It was not inevitable that things come out this way. Nor is it fashionable, in this ahistorical and frothy moment, to recall them.
Let it be said at the outset that my president, Donald Trump, knows nothing of history and cares less.
Since President Trump took office, I have found myself recalling a poem by Wisława Szmborska and—if you will excuse the intrusion of literature into the realm of geostrategic debate—I would like to read a few verses to you:
"The End and the Beginning"
Translated by Joanna Trzeciak
After every war
someone has to clean up.
Things won't
straighten themselves up, after all.
Someone has to push the rubble
to the side of the road,
so the corpse-filled wagons
can pass.
Someone has to get mired
in scum and ashes,
sofa springs,
splintered glass,
and bloody rags.
Someone has to drag in a girder
to prop up a wall.
Someone has to glaze a window,
rehang a door.
Photogenic it's not,
and takes years.
All the cameras have left
for another war.
Those who knew
what was going on here
must make way for
those who know little.
And less than little.
And finally as little as nothing.
Nobody, I would suggest, has perfected the business of knowing "as little as nothing" quite as well as Mr. Trump.
Let me now try to define the world of Trump.
What is Trumpism? It is an exercise in distraction from, or denial of, facts. It is the fear-exploiting assemblage of an alternative reality, a form of collective "gas-lighting," at Twitter speed. It is founded on the president's intuitive sense of how media (and social media) function today as limiters of attentions spans. It seeks to achieve dominance through a whirlwind of individually meaningless but cumulatively manipulative statements. At its core lies arbitrariness.
Liberty depends on facts. When the distinction between truth and lies disappears, there is no basis for the rational discourse on which the organization of a free society depends. Without facts, disorientation spread. This serves an autocratic leader; disoriented people are more inclined to accept a despot as sole font of truth.
I AM YOUR VOICE.
Trump functions, still, within our democratic institutions, but with a personal court (composed in part of family) rather than the demarcated areas of responsibility that go with a traditional—and accountable—form of governance.
The president, a man of feral instincts, also exhibits a keen understanding of people's susceptibility to the despot's authority, a lesson learned through his command over a decade of huge TV audiences, in a show that built toward a frisson of cruelty, delivered with the words, "You're fired."
Adrenalin is all. Trump knows that, in our age, velocity trumps veracity—a perfect state of affairs for his manic personality. Like a child-bully, he blurts. Like a child-coward, he then ducks for cover, preferably behind a general, as now with his NFL outburst.
"You're fired."
Now he wants NFL coaches to say that to players, most of them African American, who refuse to stand for the National Anthem. So much for free speech.
You know this Academy is a non-partisan place. It is non-partisan, I would suggest, to stand up for the Constitution and the rule of law when they are treated with contempt by President Trump.
Believe me, I want to respect my president. I am a naturalized American and a patriot. The last thing I want to do is look at Donald Trump and cringe. I have searched for a redeeming feature. Well, his children seem to love him; that's something. But he has besmirched, with lies and petulance and race-baiting, the highest office in the land.
I had an alarming experience last month. Let me tell you about it:
President Trump had lied about two phone calls, one from the president of Mexico and one from the head of the Boy Scouts. The calls, supposedly to congratulate him, did not exist. They never happened. They were pure inventions. Asked if Trump had lied, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said, "I wouldn't say it was a lie." I actually remember shrugging. It was this shrug that was terrifying.
This is how autocrats—or would-be autocrats—cement their power. They wear you down. They take you down the rabbit hole. They want you to read that 2+2=5, and then shrug.
Please, ladies and gentlemen, don't shrug.
He's held eight rallies since becoming president in January. At a recent one in Phoenix, he called the media "very dishonest people." He led the crowd in a chant of "CNN sucks." He attacked the "failing New York Times." A dishonest president calls the media that report on his dishonesty dishonest for doing so. This is where we are. He said of the Charlottesville violence: "There is blame on both sides." He equated neo-Nazi bigots with blood on their hands and leftist protesters. For this president, they stand on the same moral plane.
Remember the special prosecutor he promised to investigate Hillary Clinton? Remember the Syrian "safe zones" he promised for refugees? Remember the state of emergency he said in August he was going to declare on America's opioid epidemic?
Mere words, it turns out. His imperative is noise.
Isaiah Berlin reminded us of a truth about liberal democracy of which the Founding Fathers, they of our checks and balances, were mindful: "The best that one can do is try to promote some kind of equilibrium, necessarily unstable, between the different aspirations of different groups of human beings."
That's not sexy. "Some kind of equilibrium" is not what human beings rush to embrace and die for. It is, however, essential for the discourse of any liberal democracy. It saves lives. The postwar transatlantic architecture was about preserving this gift of freedom.
Benjamin Franklin, asked in Philadelphia in 1787 what form of governance had been agreed upon, famously responded: "A Republic, if you can keep it."
Seldom in the ensuing 230 years has the keeping required as much watchfulness as is demanded now.
But you will say, if Trump is noise, does he matter? If he's all hat and no cattle, who cares? It's a tempting argument.
Yes, there's no sign of the wall on the Mexican border, and NATO is no longer "obsolete," and the "One China" policy has not been scrapped, and the Iran nuclear agreement endures, despite Trump's dismissal of it as "the worst deal ever," and the United States embassy is still in Tel Aviv, and the North American Free Trade Agreement has not been abandoned, and the decision to leave the Paris climate accord has not yet been made effective.
So perhaps Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, and H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser, have ring-fenced Trump's recklessness and bellicosity. They have neutralized his ignorance. Some of the loonier members of the president's entourage have been fired or marginalized. Adults have taken charge. There are still those early-morning tweets, in which the child has his tantrum, but "America First" has not upended the world.
Except that it has. A disaster is unfolding whose consequences for humanity and decency will be substantial. Take what has just happened here in Germany.
Angela Merkel won, but hers was a bitter victory. The twilight of her chancellorship has begun. The arrival in parliament, for the first time in decades, of some 94 members of a party that flirts with neo-Nazism, expresses pride in the Wehrmacht soldiers of World War II, and hails once more the German Volk constitutes a shattering of the accepted political contours of the republic. There will a before and an after.
This lurch came for many reasons I won't go into now. But I will note that it happened at a time when a race-baiting American president, Donald Trump, has opened the way for everyone's inner bigot and shown contempt for that most carefully nurtured and prodigious postwar child: the German-American alliance.
The AfD is not the creation of Trump, but when an American president can't quite find unequivocal words of condemnation for neo-Nazis, the ground shifts in the free world. Plenty of damage can be done short of nuclear winter. Gauland wants the Volk back and to heck with the lesser beings who have joined the Bevolkerung; Trump wants a white-dominated America.
America often falls short. The American beacon is dimmed by association with an Argentine Junta, or Abu Ghraib, or Guantanamo. Yet it flickers to life again. Those checks and balances, as long as they are there, are corrective. But America's claim to leadership is voided, permanently, if stripped of a moral component.
So, we have a problem these days: words cascade from Mr. Trump's pinched mouth and they mean nothing, because when a man of moral emptiness tries to exhort a nation—or even the world—to moral greatness the only thing communicated is pitiful, almost comical, hypocrisy.
The dignity of free people governed by the rule of law is inextricable from the American idea—and the post-war German idea that is so entwined with the American story. If the United States does not use its power to spread and safeguard liberty it ceases to be itself.
Yet here is a president who practices a valueless foreign policy. He has scoffed at NATO and the European Union, the very postwar defenders of that freedom. He has shown a cavalier disregard and contempt for our alliance. There appears to be no grasp in this White House that "Pay up!" does not make America great and prosperous. The West's prosperity is not the fruit of some zero-sum game.
President Trump has yet to meet a strongman who does not elicit his sympathy, a multilateral organization that does not prompt his disdain, or a German chancellor he fails to insult. The Saudi King, Rodrigo Duterte and Vladimir Putin are all good; Angela Merkel, not so much. I hear that Merkel and Trump no longer speak to each other. This is worrying: Germany is the most important country in Europe and a core American ally.
We have seen the evisceration under Trump of the State Department: a proposed thirty-percent budget cut, countless critical posts unfilled, a secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, who has contrived to be ineffective and demoralize his staff. It's very simple in the end. Jim Mattis said it himself to Congress in 2013: "If you don't fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition ultimately." When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Again and again, we hear "America First!," that slogan of ugly Fascist pedigree. But what can America First do for terrorism, or climate change, or the crisis presented by 65 million migrants on the move? As Emmanuel Macron told me last week in New York, we need to find a form of multilateralism in which President Trump finds his place. Well, Macron does make extraordinary things happen. But why am I dubious?
President Trump loves soldiers the way he loves a crunching football tackle. My hunch is he would like to see a small-to-medium-sized war in which he can declare victory because that, for him, would announce that America is back.
We have seen his braggadocio in Syria, where a reprisal bombing—justified in my view and belated—for the regime's use of chemical weapons occurred in what was later revealed as an utter vacuum: no strategy, no tactic, no follow-up, no nothing.
A cabinet minister, Wilbur Ross, later suggested it had occurred "in lieu of after-dinner entertainment," as it coincided with the Mar-a-Lago dinner with Xi Jinping. A cruise-missile strike as "after-dinner entertainment," and President Trump calls Kim Jung-un a "madman:" Well, he should know.
This is the unbearable lightness of being in Trump World.
Kim is a madman and his regime a monstrosity, a corrupt pyramid scheme built on lies, a personality cult and terror. But sounding off is not the way to confront him. That requires what I referred to earlier: constancy and strength and diplomacy in pursuit of strategy.
Of this I see no sign.
The thing about nuclear brinkmanship, is that accidents happen.
When two thin-skinned men with nukes, grudges and mysterious hair hurl insults at each other, and one of them is the American president, there is no cause for comfort. When their voices become interchangeable there is no cause for comfort. The world is more combustible than in many years.
So, R.I.P., the postwar order?
My title, of course, was a bit of a provocation. We have not gone over a cliff yet. There are men—and they are all men—around Trump who know the importance of our treaty alliances. Still, the twentieth century fades from view, gradually, inexorably:
This is the way of the world. A new generation strides forth, the Cold War not even a memory for them. They will forge something new, something perhaps unimaginable to most of the people in this room. That is right and proper. But may the new be decent and may the lessons of the first half of the twentieth century not be forgotten!
Trump's, I fear, is an Age of Indecency. Machismo, militarism, and mercantilism are no substitute for the American undergirding of global security. Of course, power shifts are happening that long predate Trump. But the way to manage the rise of China, the emergence of India, the revanchism of Russia, and the predations of autocracy is not through Twitter outbursts. It is through learning the lessons of our democracies' recent failings. Impunity for the rich and growing inequality don't work. It is through diplomacy. That requires an effective State Department and respect for our allies, not least Germany.
My deepest concern is that Trump actually believes the postwar order was merely a means to rip off America. He buys into, if anything, Vladimir Putin's macho authoritarianism and spheres of influence for the great powers. We saw how well that worked in the run-up to World War I.
This would amount to a dramatic break with American policy as superbly articulated earlier this year by one of many departing diplomats, Daniel Fried, who joined the Foreign Service in 1977 and served with great distinction, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. Fried had this to say:
"Few believed that Poland's Solidarity movement could win, that the Iron Curtain would come down, that the Baltic States could be free, that the second of the twentieth century's great evils—Communism—could be vanquished without war. But it happened, and the West's great institutions—NATO and the EU—grew to embrace 100 million liberated Europeans. It was my honor to have done what I could to help. I learned never to underestimate the possibility of change, that values have power, and that time and patience can pay off, especially if you're serious about your objectives. Nothing can be taken for granted, and this great achievement is now under assault by Russia, but what we did in my time is no less honorable. It is for the present generation to defend and, when the time comes again, extend freedom in Europe."
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, values have power.
Angela Merkel knows that. She did the right thing in 2015. History will vindicate her decision to allow in about a million refugees.
Germany knows what closed doors can mean to the persecuted. Bering from a Jewish family, I do, too. That also is in my bones. Merkel, raised in East Germany, knew it with a particular conviction and so brought Europe back from the brink of mayhem. Perhaps her margin of victory would have been greater if she'd travel-banned the desperate. Perhaps littleness pays today. I doubt it in the German case. One lesson of its total annihilation was that a little man is capable of reducing the world to ruin.
I trust and believe we can guard against that today, even in Trump's world. He, too, will pass. In a year or seven years, I know not. But he will.
As I said at the beginning, I am of South African descent. As such, I can only be a creature of hope. Some of my most formative moments were spent in South Africa, the country in which my parents were born. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, catastrophe loomed, inevitable as the sunset. The Johannesburg swimming pools of my relatives would run red with blood. Out of the distant, fetid, desperate townships, the black majority would rise up to claim what was theirs and avenge the cruel injustice of Apartheid. My family, along with four million other whites, would be chased out.
Well, it didn't happen, thanks to the leadership of Nelson Mandela and F.W. De Klerk: a miracle, like that invisible Polish–German border.
Most miracles, of course, are not Xanadu-like flashes of illumination. They emerge from hard work.
We are working. The judiciary is holding the line against Trump's insults and manipulations. To state the obvious, the United States is not Weimar. Its institutions are strong.
The press is fighting back. The New York Times and the Washington Post are going mano-a-mano with scoops that have already led to the departure or sidelining of several senior member of the Trump Administration. The Russian imbroglio is being relentlessly untangled. A free press and Mr. Mueller are at work on that.
Far from the "failing, fake-news New York Times," we are the reenergized New York Times, with more than 600,000 new subscriptions this year. A new generation of Millennials is discovering that great investigative journalism is worth paying for, and the First Amendment worth fighting for.
Steve Bannon, now departed, told the media to shut up. No, Mr. Bannon, we will not shut up.
Everything about what I do has changed since I filed by Telex from war-ravaged Beirut, in the early 1980s, but not this: Journalism has two foundations: Bearing witness—and that means being there—and holding power to account. The rest, as Rabbi Hillel might have put it, "is just commentary."
As we're on the eve of Yom Kippur in Berlin, here are Hillel's words in full: "That which is hateful to yourself, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah, the rest is just commentary."
We must fight for the transatlantic institutions—including the American Academy in Berlin—that forged and preserve the bonds that keep the free world vibrant and safe and decent.
As Albert Camus observed, "The only way to fight the plague is with decency."

Q: How to send javascript variable to another page in php when form is submitted using submit button I have two variables, col1 and col2,  in JavaScript, I need to send them to a PHP page when submit button is clicked.
I have the following code:
<script>
$("input:radio").change(function(){
  if($(this).is(":checked")){
    var col1 = $(this).parent().parent().children("td:first");
    var col2 = col1.next();
  }
})
</script>

A: Use hidden elements which resides in form and assign values into it.
HTML
<form>
    <!--other code-->
    <input type="hidden" id="col1" name="col1">
    <input type="hidden" id="col2" name="col2">
</form>

JQUERY
$("input:radio").change(function(){
    var col1 = '', col2 = '';
    if($(this).is(":checked")){
        col1= $(this).parent().parent().children("td:first");
        col2 = col1.next();
    }
    $('#col1').val(col1);
    $('#col2').val(col2);
});

A: You can use XMLHTTPRequest to process your data to PHP
 <script>
$("input:radio").change(function(){
  if($(this).is(":checked")){
    var col1 = $(this).parent().parent().children("td:first");
    var col2 = col1.next();

   $.ajax({
       url: "phpfile.php",
       data: {"col1":col1,"col2":col2},
       success:function(data){
          console.log(data);
       }
   });
  }
});
</script>

A:
I need to send them to a PHP page when submit button is clicked.

So I can assume that there is a page refresh(unless you are using event.preventDefault()) , so hidden fields value will also get erased.
So you can use the local storage and save the values and on new page can again retrieve them and use it
$("input:radio").change(function(){
    var col1 = '', col2 = '';
    if($(this).is(":checked")){
        col1= $(this).parent().parent().children("td:first");
        col2 = col1.next();

     // Storing in local storage
      localStorage.setItem("col1", col1);
      localStorage.setItem("col2", col2);

     // retrieve on next page
     localStorage.getItem("col1");    // col1
   }

My latest Big Thought? Rome. I want to go to Rome.
It sounds like maybe Japan isn't in the cards anymore…and I was happy as a little clam going all over creation last year. I've been in New York now for FOUR STRAIGHT MONTHS. It's time to plan an escape.
And then yesterday, as I was finishing Frank Bruni's Born Round (which isn't about Rome outright…but there *is* a brief section on his tenure as the Rome Bureau Chief and he *does* hail from a large Italian family…), it hit me: I should go to Rome.
I really liked Bruni's latest book — and not just because I once went to a party at the apartment he talks about in the final chapters. I totally get his relationship with food — from the late-night binges as a means of self-healing and escape to the cherished articles of clothing that allow you to hide your imperfections (my beloved cardigan was at the dry cleaner for four days and I almost died. And it didn't help that I had a claim ticket that said it would be ready on Wednesday…and when I arrived on Wednesday to pick up aforementioned-blogged-about-beloved cardigan, the woman was on the phone forever and then gave me serious attitude — "This says Wednesday!" — which made me panic for a moment and think, "OhmygodisitTuesday?" but then I remembered that I had fake-gambled that morning for the first time that week, so it was definitely Wednesday and said as much and she said, "This means Wednesday NIGHT." And so I waited another day…). And, I mean, Dude was the restaurant critic at Times, so I suppose he has a way with food words…but, man — his descriptions of meals in and around Rome seriously made me want to go (in some parallel universe in which I have unlimited cash and speak flawless Italian…[which reminds me of an old roommate's friend from Rome who once taught me to say, "Stai fuori come una Jacuzzi in giardino!" which, if memory serves, translates to, "You're out like a Jacuzzi in the garden!" and basically means, "You're crazy!"]).
Missing Italy (and, frankly, Greece…and Ireland…and Norway…) is one of my big regrets from my two years in England. (But, at the same time, I was a poor student…so it's not like I never got around to it…[again, it's unfortunate we don't live in that world in which I have lots of money and speak lots of languages]). And it's crazy to think that's been eight years since I've been back (which is all beginning to sound a lot like "New York, We Have to Talk," isn't it?)…
I've also heard a lot of talk lately about Eat, Pray, Love (once from a fake-gambler who vowed to punch the next middle-aged lady he sees on the train reading it…but also from a J-school colleague). And…gotta say: I was totally with Elizabeth Gilbert when she was in Italy. Gorging yourself on pasta and practicing Italian with a charming young man are two things that make absolute sense to me. (But, alas, I found I identified with her less and less as her journey went on…and, honestly, I thought she was kind of a jerk to the guru in Bali. I know he *expected* her to abandon him and move on…but, still…seemed a little mean to me to drop him like a bad habit as soon as she met the Old Guy…)
And…so, minus the Praying and the Loving, I wanna do it, too — I want to go to Italy and eat pasta and bread and cheese and gelato until I weigh twice as much as I did before. And I want to sit on the Spanish Steps. And I want to throw a coin in Trevi Fountain. And I want smarmy men with slick hair to tell me I'm beautiful even if they don't mean it and I want to say, "Ciao!" and "Grazie!" and to ride on the back of a Vespa with Gregory Peck. And I want to marvel at old things.
So…perhaps the Big Birthday is a reasonable goal. What better way/place to usher in the next decade of my life than in the Eternal City?
