Tributes flood in from far and wide for Gigg Lane great Colin Bell
THE footballing world has been paying tribute to former Shakers, Manchester City and England midfielder Colin Bell who died this week at the age of 74.
Bell made 492 appearances and scored 152 goals for City during his 13-year stay, but it was at Bury where he first made an impression as a footballer making 82 league appearances and scoring 25 goals before his move to City in 1966 for £45,000.
Despite his phenomenal success at Maine Road, Bell never forgot the club where his career started.
Bell was a youth player with Horden Colliery Welfare before joining Second Division Bury in 1963 as a teenager.
He quickly established himself at Gigg Lane, becoming the Shakers' skipper, and in later years he spoke with sadness about the club's demise.
"Why Bury? The feel of the club has not changed over the years. It's hard to believe what's happened," he told the Daily Mail.
"It was wonderful, because I was just a shy lad from the North East.
"Leaving home was a big wrench but it didn't feel like it in the end. It was like moving from family to family. They were all the same. Everybody cared for you.
"I could've gone into my shell and not produced anything. The difference was that homely effect they had. So many people wanted to know you and help.
"Being so happy and relaxed in that second family down in Bury, I performed as I should have done and didn't look back.
"That was all down to Bury and the supporters."
Former Shakers player David Buchanan tweeted: "RIP Colin Bell. As a young player for @buryfcofficial I remember asking a lifelong fan how good was he? Never forget their reply. "He'd bring a tear to your eye if you'd seen how good he was". Kind of sums it up really."
Supporters trust Forever Bury paid their own tribute in a statement.
"We are saddened to hear about the passing of Colin Bell, a player who many Shakers supporters enjoyed watching," it read.
"It was always great to welcome him back to Gigg Lane."
Phoenix club Bury AFC said: "We are extremely saddened to hear this evening of the passing of former Bury FC player and Manchester footballing legend Colin Bell.
"Our thoughts are with his family at this time."
It was City who announced his death on Tuesday, a statement reading: "Colin passed away peacefully this afternoon after a short, non-Covid related illness, aged 74. He leaves behind wife Marie, children Jon and Dawn and grandchildren, Luke, Mark, Isla and Jack."
City said "few players have left such an indelible mark" on the club as Bell, nicknamed 'The King of the Kippax' after one of the terraces at their former Maine Road home. In 2004, City fans voted to name a stand at the Etihad Stadium after Bell.
City team-mate Mike Summerbee paid tribute to "a lovely, humble man".
Summerbee said on the club's official website: "He was a huge star for Manchester City, but you would never have known it.
"He was quiet, unassuming and I always believe he never knew how good he actually was. He was just the greatest footballer we have ever had.
"Kevin De Bruyne reminds me a lot of Colin in the way he plays and the way he is as a person.
Former England international Summerbee added: "He was adored by the City fans and for our supporters to say he is the best they have ever seen, you don't get a better compliment than that, do you?
"He was very special and he will be very sadly missed."
Midfielder Bell was at the heart of City's successful side of the late 1960s and 70s.
Bell helped City secure promotion to the top flight in 1966 and was one of their standout players as they edged out Manchester United to win the First Division title two years later.
FA Cup success followed in 1969 as well as two more trophies in 1970 – the League Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup. Bell was the club's top scorer three times.
Born in Hesleden, County Durham, Bell also won 48 England caps, and was part of the 1970 World Cup squad in Mexico. Having been hurt in a tackle by Manchester United's Martin Buchan in November 1975, Bell saw his playing career ended prematurely by a knee injury as following an unsuccessful comeback, he retired from football in 1980 for good.
After football, Bell held coaching roles with City's youth and reserve teams and later became a club ambassador.

The Secret to Raspberry Ketones …
The Secret to Raspberry Ketones For Weight Loss Success
Raspberry ketones are a popular supplement for weight loss. The claim is that they cause fat in the body's cells to break down more efficiently, helping your body burn fat faster. They also purportedly increase adiponectin, a hormone that aids in regulating metabolism. But do they really work? In this blog post, we evaluate what the research says.
What Are Raspberry Ketones?
Raspberry ketones give red raspberries their strong, delicious aroma, and they're also found in smaller amounts in some other fruits, including blackberries, kiwis, and cranberries. Raspberry ketones have been used for many years in cosmetics, and they're used as a flavoring agent in a variety of foods as well.
Surprisingly, raspberry ketone supplements don't actually come from raspberries. That's because raspberry ketones occur in raspberries in tiny amounts–you'd need 90 pounds of raspberries to get just one dose of ketones.
How Do Raspberry Ketones Work?
Raspberry ketones have a molecular structure similar to the molecules capsaicin and synephrine. Capsaicin is found in chili peppers, and synephrine is a stimulant. Research shows that both of these molecules boost metabolism, and researchers wondered if raspberry ketones could do the same.
In a test-tube study of fat cells in mice, raspberry ketones were shown to increase the breakdown of fat by making the fat cells more sensitive to norepinephrine, a fat-burning hormone. The ketones also increased amounts of the hormone adiponectin, which may play a role in regulating metabolism and blood glucose levels.
Adiponectin occurs in far higher levels in people of normal weight, and levels increase with weight loss. Research shows that people who have low levels of this hormone have a higher risk of developing obesity, fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
What Studies Say About Raspberry Ketones
Raspberry ketones studies in mice and rats show that raspberry ketones may have promise for helping people lose weight and protect against certain diseases.
In one study, published in the journal Life Sciences, raspberry ketones were fed to mice who were on a fattening diet. At the end of the study, the ketone group weighed 10 percent less than the mice that didn't get ketones. While the mice that were fed ketones didn't lose any weight, they gained less than the non-ketone group.
Another study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, found that 40 rats who were fed raspberry ketones were better protected against fatty liver disease, and their adiponectin levels were increased. Researchers believe that raspberry ketones have a dual effect of protecting the liver and reducing fat in the liver.
The Bottom Line on Raspberry Ketones
Animal studies of Raspberry Ketones show promising results. When they're taken as part of an overall healthy lifestyle, that includes a nutritious diet and regular exercise, raspberry ketones may boost your fat burning and rev up your metabolism for more efficient weight loss and a reduced risk of fatty liver disease, diabetes, and other diseases.
Thrive Naturals Raspberry Ketones supplement contains the maximum-strength dosage of raspberry ketones, and they also contain other ingredients shown to aid in weight loss, including African mango, green tea extract, apple cider vinegar, and kelp. Our one-year Money Back Guarantee makes trying raspberry ketones a risk-free endeavor. Order today and see if raspberry ketones work for you.

I saw your video on the Fox News website earlier today while at work. It absolutely broke my heart. I ended up coming to this website to learn more about your struggles and triumphs. You have seriously inspired me today to live every day to the fullest. You are so right in saying that no one knows how much time they have left. Thank you for reinforcing the concept of living every day like it's your last. I hope you and your family can find peace during this difficult time. I also hope that the time you do have left with your loved ones is enjoyed to the highest degree. My heart goes out to you.
I have went through all postings, and it's difficult to grasp with all the current technology that we still aren't any closer to helping people with this disease. It looks like the docs have attempted everything at least that I know of. I pray that you have peace with your life on earth, and I know that God is with you. I pray that God gives your family strength. God Bless you!
I just learned about you and watched your final video.
There are just no words one can say that wouldn't sound stupid or trite.
Know that you have touched others in a way no one else could and you will be kept in our prayers.
May you find a peaceful path onto your next adventure.
I read your last entry and my heart breaks for you and your family.
You are a brave soul and you put up a great fight. Your doctor was right, you won.
Eric ~ Thank you for letting me into your life a little bit.. I am a fellow H-D employee who learned about you from co-workers' comments on Yammer. I have been following you since March 2012. You are an inspiration. Because of you, I have signed up to become a bone marrow donor.... and I just received my acceptance letter this week. Peace be with you.
Has bone marrow transplant been attempted? I know this is different then a stem cell transplant?
I saw your last video and was wishing I could meet you and talk to you before you pass on. My father and my sister-in-law both passed away from cancer.
I really wish you could know Jesus and know that you don't have to be scared and feeling hopeless. You can be at complete peace, knowing that God will lead you through this hard valley into eternal life in heaven where there is no pain or sorrow. Both my father and sister-in-law had asked God for forgiveness and surrendured their lives over to Him asking Him to be their Lord and Saviour. When each knew that his/her battle with cancer was ended and there was nothing more to do, they rested in the promises God gives us in the Bible for those who know and love Him. That is why Jesus came to die on the cross, to pay for the sins of mankind. We are all sinners, but God has made a way for us to escape our punishment because He loves everyone of us. There is no peace so great as the peace God gives us when we call upon Him. Please read the book of John especially John chapter 3. "God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him (Jesus) might be saved". I hope to see you in heaven someday, Eric. I know I will see my father and sister-in-law again...and that helps to lesson the pain of losing someone to death.
My dad passed away 11 years ago from AML. He fought hard as well. I think of him every day and now I will think of you too, Eric. THANK YOU so much for bringing this cause to so many people. Your life truly has a purpose and hopefully because of your efforts one day there will be a cure. I pray for God's blessings on you and your family.

Q: PC is getting wrong IP address despite DHCP From one day to the other (maybe a windows update was in between, not sure), my PC is currently always (self assigning?) getting an IP address configured like this:
Automatically configured IPv4-Address: 169.254.168.179
IPv4-Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
IPv4-Standard Gateway:
IPv4-DHCP-Server: 192.168.1.1
IPv4-DNS-Server: 192.168.1.1

I'm running Windows 7 Home (x64). The router is a Linksys WRT 1900AC, DHCP is configured on it for addresses from 192.168.1.100 to .199.
At most, there are maybe 10 devices connected at any time. Lease time is 1440 minutes.
DHCP Client Service is running.
All other devices on the same network (WLAN or LAN) get their "normal" DHCP addresses (192.168.1.X). Only my PC doesn't get one.
When I manually configure it to use a correct address (along with the correct subnet mask), the connections works fine as always.
What could cause this? I already restarted the PC and the router several times.
How can I make this work as it was supposed to be?

A: Log on to your router and try to delete the DHCP lease for this machine, then run ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew in a command prompt.
If that fails, try uninstalling the driver for the NIC and reboot the PC. The driver should be reinstalled automatically. If not, reinstall the latest version and try again.
If that fails install Wireshark and start a capture and re-run the ipconfig commands again. Filter the results with bootp and post them here.

10 Make-up Artists you Should be Following on TikTok
There are not enough hours in the day to watch every YouTube video, like every Instagram post or read your favourite Twitter feed. But somehow there is enough time to scroll through hundreds – if not thousands – of TikToks, and only occasionally gaining something of value.
Thankfully, TikTok has a lot more to offer than the below-average videos of people dancing to, "I'm a savage, classy, bougie, ratchet." Buried within the social media giant, there's an abundance of life hacks, recipes and trends to try your hand at. But one TikTok genre that thrives is the abundance of make-up videos.
Everybody loves a transformation, especially one that happens in under 20 seconds. "Makeup tutorials and satisfying close-up videos always do super well on my page," says makeup artist Meisha Morris. Now instead of a 20-minute chatty sit-down video on YouTube, we get instant results on TikTok and makeup we could only dream of doing on ourselves.
The time limit on TikTok means videos have to hit the right audience and be captivating from the start. As more and more content gets plastered around the internet and our attention spans narrow and decrease, the shorter the better. "Engagement on TikTok can be quite unpredictable, depending on what trends are in and when my followers are active," says Morris, who has a TikTok following just shy of 130k. Videos are short, more often than not 15 seconds – appearing on a never-ending reel which is near impossible to click off. Makeup guru Chris Grave describes it as "one of the best ways you can market yourself in our current generation." This notion is backed up by fellow make-up artist Dominique Allison, who says: "On TikTok, you can be your authentic self, this gives you the chance to show everyone your personality to the fullest."
The make-up lewks found on TikTok are carefully crafted works of art, but as makeup artist Piper Nelson says, "TikTok is extremely volatile, videos will unexpectedly go viral, sometimes even weeks after they are posted." The unpredictable nature of app is also part of the charm. Anyone can feel like a celebrity once they're on the 'For You' page with 200 thousand views. "It's an amazing platform for artists, business owners, and all creatives to grow while doing what they love," explains Nelson. Though as with many things, it is also ruled by trends and if you're after views, then your videos need to "fit with current trending sounds, topics, or transitions," she continues.
It seems everyone has their own opinion on TikTok, whether they use it or not. Miriam Ugarte has a relatively big following and is under the impression that TikTok is a must-have app, "it's something for everyone and eventually, it shows you as an individual what you want to see and I think that's such an amazing thing." This is thanks to the algorithm, which can also cause some problems. 20-year-old makeup artist Tyra Janea from Tennessee says, "I love TikTok as a platform but I'd love to see more Black content creators given the same opportunities and platforms as everyone else, especially in makeup. Our content deserves to be shared and loved as well." The racial bias of TikTok is something that has been questioned and criticised on multiple occasion, and extremely talented creators such as Janea deserve equal recognition to their white counterparts.
In celebration of all the immensely gifted make-up artisans that flood the social network, we've put together a list of our top 10 TikTok talents for you to get some new-found inspo from (or even if you're just in the mood to watch a satisfyingly sharp rainbow cat-eye creation).
Meisha Morris
This 19-year-old from Staffordshire is a self-taught makeup artist. Morris' make-up looks revolve around the eyes, with sharp and intricate detail in every colour imaginable. "I really like doing multiple cut creases on eyeshadow looks to amplify how dramatic I want it."
Piper Nelson
With transferable art skills and hours of watching YouTube tutorials, Piper Nelson has taught herself to create beautiful eye make-up looks, as well as full-face works of art. Her videos involve up-close brush strokes and step-by-step of each detail, along with some instant transformations. "My absolute favourite looks to create are the challenging ones. I have such a sense of accomplishment afterwards and love pushing myself out of my comfort zone," she affirms.
Tyra Janea
Jones is a self-taught 20-year-old makeup artist from Tennessee. After just two years of doing makeup, the artist creates stunningly unique looks, "I love doing rainbow looks and graphic liner, I get my inspiration from art and other artists around me." The delicate strokes and bold colours will keep your eyes glued.
Chris Grave
Chris Grave's looks are major, it takes him between one and two hours to complete each one – which in make-up terms is super speedy. He transforms his whole face into a work of art on the daily,."I think my favourite thing about makeup is how versatile not only the products you use are, but the endless amount of different art you can create with the products," he says. His looks range from Cruella de Vil's imaginary son, to the devil and various clowns – "my favourite looks to create are definitely my clown looks, my followers eat them up!"
Miriam Ugarte
Miriam Ugarte started to get serious about her make-up looks about three years ago. As soon as she posted her first TikTok, "it blew up, literally within a day I was getting all these likes, comments and followers," Ugarte remembers. She hasn't been posting for that long but already has over 25k followers. Everyone else must be just as enchanted by her make-up looks as we are.
Dominique Allison
After teaching herself, Allison has been fully committed to make-up for the last two years. Her signature looks are perfectly detailed graphic liners which are often rainbow-themed, "I love rainbow looks because colour makes me so happy and it sparks so much creativity within me," she says. Her past graphics have included florals, cow prints and clouds all painted by hand. "I love the fact that make-up has no rules, there's no right or wrong way to do it – there are no rules!"
Ahliyah Michelle
Compared to the other names on this list, Ahliyah Michelle's make-up looks are on the more natural end of the spectrum. Her flawless skin glows with highlighter and she knows how to craft the perfect smokey eyeshadow.
Makeup by Rabe
Rabe's page is a seemingly never-ending stream of unique eye make-up looks. Matching her eyebrows to the design of her make-up is the next level of extra and we love it. Each day brings a completely new look and shows you some top tips and tricks along the way."
Alice King crafts eyeshadow blended to perfection and also posts videos of her delicate line drawings with a mesmerizing use of negative space. Her videos are filmed close up, just focusing on one eye, allowing us to see every detailed stroke. We wouldn't recommend trying these looks after three coffees and a shaky hand.
Lsgmakeup
This artist specialises in depth and definition. Some of them are so perfect it almost feels like an illusion. You're more likely to get a dramatic transformation than a tutorial but all of her content will put your attempts at a cat-eye to perspective…

Home Gear News Fiber Optic Sights: Which Color?
Fiber Optic Sights: Which Color?
Sam Hoober
Besides tritium night sights, fiber optics sights are the best types of everyday carry or home defense handgun sights. For those who practice the front sight press, a fiber optic sight set (or at least a fiber optic front sight) is a highly-advised upgrade. Likewise, it's a good feature to look for in either a carry gun that will go in a concealed carry holster or a nightstand gun. But which one to get?
Some are fiber optic sights are green, some are red, others orange and some yellow. Rule of thumb: go for for green or yellow sights. Green and yellow fiber optic sights have advantages over red that go beyond preference. Because science!
Yellow and green light occupy more of the visible spectrum. Light comes in many colors, determined by its wavelength. White light, which is the color we usually perceive, is actually a combination of all the colors across the entire spectrum. That's why when light is sent through a refractory object (such as a prism) it splits into the various colors of the spectrum and looks great on album covers.
Green light has a wavelength of anywhere between 510 nanometers (where the wavelength of blue light ends) and 570nm, the wavelength at which yellow light begins. Red light starts at 650 nm and goes up from there; wavelengths of red light that can't be seen by the human eye due to a too-high wavelength are the infrareds.
The human eye picks up light with wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm. Red light, therefore, occurs closer to the limits of human vision — the reason some people find green lasers more visible in low light conditions. Yellow light occurs at close the same wavelength – at 570 nm to 590 nm – which means you'll see it better than red as well.
However, some people are better off with yellow over green.
Colorblindness isn't a common affliction; fewer than 10 percent of adults globally are colorblind. It's more common in males than females and much more common among people of European descent.
Very few people have achromatopsia, which is complete and utter colorblindness. In other words, all scenes of "Wizard of Oz" look the same. (You can still totally put on Dark Side Of The Moon though.) It's one of the rarest forms of colorblindness, occurring in only 1 in 40,000 births worldwide.
The most common form is red-green color blindness, of which (there are several kinds) being deuteranomaly. Deuteranomoly is an insensitivity to green, affecting less than six percent of males worldwide and less than 0.01 percent of females.
People who suffer from this condition (like RF) don't pick up green colors very well. But they do perceive brightness. So a bright green object (in good light) will appear bright though the shade is hazy.
Other forms of colorblindness reduce the color that can't be seen to black or grey. Several forms of colorblindness affect the ability to pick up yellow, but they're much rarer as less than one percent of males worldwide (no more than 0.01 percent of females have a form of yellow colorblindness).
For those who have a form of colorblindness, a yellow fiber optic is more easily seen than red (disorders preventing the eye from picking up yellow are rarer than those interfering with green).
Bottom line: if you're going to go fiber optic, green and yellow fiber optic sights are better than red — unless you're not color blind and reckon you're better red than dead.

I prefer tritium.
Geoff PR July 2, 2017 At 13:04
Tritium, what color phosphors?
The actual radiation emission from the decay of the element is invisible, the insides of the vials are coated with the phosphors that emit the light when hit with the decay particles. And many colors of the phosphors are available:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/25YRS-Automatic-Titanium-Tritium-tube-fluorescent-Vial-keyring-Glow-in-the-dark-/391735556082?var=&hash=item5b354237f2:m:mCaxm8Vq0nHd3PJ2yn2k_qA
Tritium gas is eye-watering expensive, I've heard the value is somewhere around $30,000 USD. *per gram*.
The reason green is used is because the human eye is most sensitive to the color green, so it appears brightest.
At that kind of money, you want the brightest light you can get for your money, so green is used…

I just installed fiox sights on a S&W e-Series M1911. I settled on the white pipe for the front since I am green color blind. So far, so good. Even in conditions where fiox won't glow, the white still stands out.
Gov. William J Le Petomane July 2, 2017 At 11:20
I've got a Hi-Viz front on my 6″ GP 100 and found that the most visible color in low light seems to be the white, which isn't even fiber op tic, it's purely reflective. On the other hand the red and the green are both almost too bright at the range on a sunny day. The Hi-Viz sig hts have a lot of open area to gather light, so I would assume that many other brands (Novak) would be less bright.
Jay in Florida July 2, 2017 At 11:22
My RIA 10mm MS came with a red front fiber sight. 1st optic sight for me.
Couldnt see it very well.
Bought a pack of rods and tried them all.
Yellow seems best for me. Still not very good in low light situations.
At some point. Ill change it to tritium.

Great info. Thank you for a most informative article.

I painted standard white dot sights with neon bright nail polish. Orange in the front, green for the back. A drop on the tip of a paperclip dabbed in the dimple does it just right. Doesn't glow in the dark but shows up nice and clear under any light. And the price was right.

I have TFO (tritium fiber optic) on an M&P, best of both worlds. Green and the fiber is brighter in low light than the tritium is in the dark without the estimated twelve year lifespan. Still would not be without them.
"…brighter in low light than the tritium is in the dark without the estimated twelve year lifespan."
As an FYI, they don't 'die' in 12 years, that's the element's 'half-life', meaning it loses one-half the brightness. After 24 years, its one-quarter as bright as when new. 12 years after that, one-eighth as bright, etc…
The half life is about the same as my eyesight. At least to hear my optometrist explain it.
Frank July 2, 2017 At 12:16
If you are going to have fiber, it makes sense to me to have different colors in front and back, with the more prominent color on the front sight. More so with tritium to help you quickly distinguish the front sight in the dark.
I tried fiber optic sights for about a week and ditched them. The looked great out in sunlight and sucked in the low light of the indoor range I went to. I swapped them for Trijicon HD night sights, which for me is the best of everything. The tritium rears are set in a plain black base with no white paint, so they look almost like plain black iron rear sights in the daylight. Keeps me focused on the front sight. The front tritium vial is surrounded by bright yellow photo-lume paint which makes a big dot overall adds to the light of the tritium when transitioning to dark. They are really fast to pick up and great for aging eyes. They are not low-profile by any standard, but it's never given me a issue when drawing from IWB under a shirt tail.

On my Sig SP2022 I have green in the back and yellow in the front. That works well for me.
Peter July 2, 2017 At 12:41
Purple… 😮

I like a plain black rear and green fiber optic front.
Works for my old eyes
James July 2, 2017 At 14:54
Red fibers fronts in ALL my pistols. If you look at any pictures of the fastest completion shooters they use red in there front sight. There is a reason. Green might be slighter brighter but red stands out more against most backgrounds. Therefore it is easier to pick up.

So why did Colt put Blue pipes on their new(er) Competition ready 1911's?
ai338 July 3, 2017 At 02:10
Because it matches the grips.
Anymouse July 3, 2017 At 16:10
Blue matches the company color. They recognized the mistake and now ship with blue installed and a variety of other colors that the owner can install instead.
Accur81 July 2, 2017 At 23:58
Tritium green fiber optic! I think it's the best combo. Trijicon tritium tubes are great.
I've got the new Olight PL-2 1200 lumen rail light on the way. Why just see stuff when you can overwhelm it with light?
RetroG July 4, 2017 At 22:39
Green. Tritium / fiber optic in the front, red in the back. I tried the yellow, it was just too dim. And I'm not color blind.
Brooks April 3, 2019 At 10:51
The green fiber is much better than red in my opinion. But if you really want the best WHITE works the best in low light condition. White is the preferred color of competition shotgun shooter on cloudy day or in low light condition but not complete darkness.
Many fiber sights but not all use .040″ inch rod. White rod can be ordered on-line.

Owls flying to Wembley as Seagulls take a dive to play-off defeat
By Frances Ainley on May 16, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )
Brighton Town Hall Flying the Seagulls Flag. Image: Frances Ainley
For Brighton & Hove, Friday the 13th certainly lived up to its reputation as four of their key players were injured and Sheffield Wednesday won the 1st leg play-off 2-0.
The pre-match stats did not look promising for Albion since The Seagulls had lost three of their four home play-off games, including losing the last three in a row; and they had not won a home play-off encounter since 1991.
So tonight, could the Seagulls convincingly defeat the Owls to secure their place at Wembley for the play-off final?
Albion's recently returned hero, Bobby Zamora, who is currently out of the squad with a hip injury, shared a heartfelt message calling for Seagulls' fans to become the the squad's 'twelfth man':
Calling all #BHAFC fans! The side needs you more than ever tonight! #Together youtu.be/s3lWGyPfSL4
BHAFC (@OfficialBHAFC) May 16, 2016
And fans of the club, young and old, went to the Amex with hope in their hearts and seagulls on their shirts.

A few (but not all) of the children at an East Sussex YMCA after school club had predictions for the score:
The game kicked off at 7.45pm and was thrilling from the start.
With a place in the Premier League at stake, both teams were full of energy, Knockhaert was firmly back in the game after Friday's injury and Brighton looked like they could have at least scored four times by the time Lewis Dunk scored their first goal after 18 minutes.
BHAFC 1-0 SWFC (1-2 agg)
The Owls took their time over a couple of throw-ins to gain their composure which paid off as Ross Wallace put the ball in from the right hand side in the 28th minute.
BHAFC 1-1 SWFC(1-3 agg)
Brighton carved out another good chance minutes later, but Wednesday keeper Keiren Westwood was in good form and knocked it away.
All the way to half time, Brighton were still going with intent, dominating Wednesday's half; they managed a corner with five minutes to go but the Owls' keeper comfortably hold onto Bruno's header.
Three more near misses, and the Seagulls went into half-time knowing they had it in them to score more goals.
In the second half, Brighton struggled to keep the intensity and the Owls started to exert some control, prompting some 'tactical fouls' on their key players and yellow cards for both teams (Kayal, Knockhaert and Brino for Brighton; Hutchinson, Hunt and Nuhiu for Wednesday).
In the 62nd minute Seagulls' striker Jiri Skalak wasted an opportunity from a free-kick pelting the ball over the bar.
Kazenga LuaLua came on in place of Sam Baldock for Brighton and Wednesday's scorer Wallace departed with a hamstring injury and was substituted by Jeremy Helan.
In the 77th minute, Wednesday managed to create a chance as Keiran Lee picked out Atdhe Nuhiu but the strike couldn't direct his header and it went over the post; nevertheless, Sheffield Wednesday fans were in fine voice by now as they felt their journey to Wembley drawing ever closer.
Brighton really needed to gamble, to take their chances, but their delivery wasn't accurate enough.
80 minutes down and Wednesday managed to get their first corner of the game, but Albion keeper David Stockdale managed to punch it away from danger.
With 3 minutes of added time, and two goals needed, Brighton desparately tried to score, including an unrealistic scissor kick from Dunk.

Many Albion fans started to leave the stadium and the police at the stadium mounted their presence to prevent a pitch invasion from the increasingly elated away fans.
Finally, having given everything they had, Chris Hughton's Seagulls – with a 15 point, 9 goal advantage in the league – surrendered the game to the sixth place Sheffield Wednesday Owls.
Sheffield Wednesday are now just one game away from the top flight.
They will head to Wembley at the end of the month to play either Hull City or Derby County in the Championship play-off final in the hope of clinching a long-awaited return to the Premiership.
Final Score: BHAFC 1-1 SWFC(1-3 agg)
Niklas Tänzer, a student from Germany living in Brighton watched the game and drew comparisons with the Champions League semi-final a few weeks ago:
For the third time in four years, the Seagulls narrowly miss out on the chance for Premiership football and it's a sad day to be beside the seaside.
But it's a hoot for the Owls, who are looking to return to the top tier of English football after a 16-season absence and are flying high tonight.
The Championship play-off final will be played at Wembley on Sunday, 29th May 2016.

1964 begun with an unresolved dispute between the National League and Provincial League bosses, with the prospect of amalgamation firmly on the horizon. It was the last season before the formation of the British League, but for Cradley it ended another position lower in the table than the previous year.
Eric Hockaday was signed from Stoke and Glyn Chandler from St Austell, the former proving to be the better acquisition of the pair.
Alan Totney started in flying form, continuing his sound progress but Derek Timms struggled to settle into the scoring groove, and was eventually forced to share his reserve berth with Ron Cooper, Fred Priest and Frank Holmes.
John Hart rode well as heatleader, Welshman Ivor Hughes forced his way into the lower end of the team and Harry Bastable tried his best to retire throughout the season, but was continually called upon to cover for absent team-mates. The late addition of Coventry junior Matt Mattocks yielded little return.
The season quickly deteriorated into an injury-ravaged campaign, affecting the team from top to bottom and rarely allowing the Heathens to field a full strength line-up. One shrewd acquisition helped enormously to stop the year from slipping away completely though; George Major was snapped up from the fringe of the Norwich squad and turned into a significant scorer.
1964 was the year that Ivor Brown's personal battle with Ivan Mauger eventually boiled over. The pair had battled for the status of top dog in the Provincial League and they developed a niggling rivalry. When Cradley visited Newcastle in June, first Mauger ended up almost in the fence and then the Kiwi took his revenge by forcing Brown one step further, and subsequently all the way to hospital with a badly gashed foot. Their feud continued throughout the season, even involving fisticuffs in the Dudley Wood pits, but the upshot was that Cradley lost their number one for a sizeable chunk of fixtures.
Johnny Edwards missed most of the season through injury as well as a temporary switch to Wimbledon , and as the injuries and departures took their toll, the Heathens were soundly beaten on their travels like never before. They went down 60-18 at Exeter , failing to even win a race, and then 50-28 two nights later at Poole . When Glasgow visited the Wood for the final league match of the season, it was to decide who would end up with the wooden spoon. A six-point home victory was inspired by a return to form for both Hart and Totney, and it gave the side a confidence boost ahead of a second successive Knock Out Cup Final. This time it was a step too far as Ivor Brown's 15-point maximum couldn't prevent a two-point aggregate defeat. Reaching the final had been an accomplishment, but 10th place in the league from 12 teams meant another disappointing end for the club.

New FMD rapid diagnostic kit
Foot-and-Mouth Disease is highly contagious in cloven-hoofed animals
Globally, FMD has a significant impact on livestock trade economics, and extensive regulatory programs exist in the U.S. to facilitate identification of, response to, and control of the disease. (Delaware Agriculture, Flickr/Creative Commons)
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) announced today the licensing of a rapid-response (three-hour) Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) diagnostic kit by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB). Developed by a large research consortium of federal agencies, academia and animal health industry scientists, this is the first licensed FMD diagnostic kit that can be manufactured on the U.S. mainland, critical for a rapid response in the event of a FMD outbreak. This diagnostic kit provides animal health first responders with an important tool to mitigate the potentially catastrophic economic and animal welfare impacts of a FMD outbreak. This high-performance test can be used for cattle, swine, and sheep, and will be commercialized and sold by Veterinary Medical Research and Development (VMRD), Inc., a U.S. manufacturer of veterinary diagnostics.
"This assay will be a pivotal tool for U.S. emergency preparedness and response and for ensuring the resiliency of U.S. animal agriculture, a critical infrastructure" said DHS Under Secretary (Acting) William N. Bryan. "Successfully bringing this test to market exemplifies the type of public-private partnership among DHS S&T, Centers of Excellence, government labs, and commercial industry necessary to support U.S. agriculture and global FMD control and eradication programs."
FMD virus is highly contagious in cloven-hoofed animals, including: cattle, pigs, small ruminants. Globally, FMD has a significant impact on livestock trade economics, and extensive regulatory programs exist in the U.S. to facilitate identification of, response to, and control of the disease. With one in nine Americans employed in the agriculture or allied industries, the effects of an FMD outbreak in the U.S. would be devastating – estimated at nearly $200 billion in lost revenue over 10 years across affected industries.
This rapid, specific, and sensitive FMD diagnostic assay was developed and validated over a seven year period by a consortium of scientists at Texas A&M University and the Institute for Infectious Animal Diseases in College Station, Texas (a DHS S&T Center of Excellence); DHS S&T's Plum Island Animal Disease Center, USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory and USDA Agricultural Research Service Foreign Animal Disease Research Unit; and through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with VMRD, Inc. Funding was provided by the Agriculture Defense Branch of DHS S&T's Chemical and Biological Defense Division and DHS S&T Office of University Programs. DHS S&T has also granted an intellectual property license to VMRD, Inc. for the test and a patent application has been filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Headquartered in College Station, Texas, IIAD was founded in 2004 as a DHS Science and Technology Center of Excellence. The Institute focuses on research, education and outreach to prevent, detect, mitigate and recover from transboundary, emerging and/or zoonotic diseases, which may be introduced intentionally or through natural processes. In 2014, IIAD was recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) as a collaborating centre in the specialty of biological threat reduction. IIAD is the only centre of this kind in OIE's America's region and the only OIE collaborating centre within the Texas A&M University System. For more information, visit iiad.tamu.edu.

Q: How do I make the part that I'm not using of a simple JComponent transparent, so that when add it to a JFrame it does not cover other components? I'm having problems adding 2 simple components to a JFrame. The problem is, the second component completely covers the first component even though each only contains a small shape located differently on the JFrame. I've browse for a while but cannot find a solution to my problem.
public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[]args)
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        CircleComponent comp = new CircleComponent(400,400);
        CircleComponent comp2 = new CircleComponent(200,200);

        frame.add(comp);
        frame.add(comp2);
        frame.setSize(800,800);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

public class CircleComponent extends JComponent
{
    Ellipse2D.Double ellipse;
    double x;
    double y;
    public CircleComponent(int xx, int yy)
   {
        x = xx;
        y = yy;
        ellipse = new Ellipse2D.Double(x,y,25,25);
        setOpaque(false);
    }

   public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2.fill(ellipse);
    }
}

A: This has nothing to do with visibility. It has to do with how layout managers work.
The default layout manager for a JFrame is a BorderLayout. When you add components to the frame without specifying a constraint the component get added to the CENTER. However only one component can ever be added to the CENTER, so only the last component added gets painted.
Your component code is incorrect. In order for a component to be painted it needs to have a preferred size and a size. The layout manager will determine the size by using the rules of the layout manager and its preferred size.
Your code happens to work because the rules for the CENTER of the BorderLayout is to give the component all the space available. In your case 800x800 (less the borders of the frame).
Edit:

Should I add the components to a JPanel with a layoutmanager that allows them to overlap each other?

You would still need to implement the getPreferredSize(..) method. The preferred size would need to take into account the x/y position as well as the width/height of the rectangle. Once this is done you might be able to use a layout manager. However, there are no standard layout managers that provide this support.
However, you can use the Overlap Layout.
Another approach is to have your component always do the painting of the Rectangle at offset (0, 0) of the component. Then you would position the component by using the setLocation(...) method of the component. This is the more general approach of how component are used in Swing. I happen to have a class I was playing with a couple of days ago that does this.

        int translateY = y + bounds.y - insets.top;

        return shape.contains(translateX, translateY);
    }
}

This code is more flexible than your component since you can create a circle, rectangle or any other shape. The basic code would be:
Shape circle = new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, 25, 25);
ShapeComponent sc = new ShapeComponent(circle, Color.RED);
circle.setLocation(400, 400);

You would also want to use a special layout as well. So check out the Drag Layout which can be used for random location of components.

Curren$y On His Upcoming NFT-Only Album, Smoke Sesh With Fans: 'It's So Many Things, It's Tangible'
Javier Hasse
A column about cannabis, hemp, CBD and psychedelics.
Hip-hop star Curren$y (born Shante Scott Franklin) has, like many other artists in recent months, gotten on board the NFT craze. And he is combining this trend with two of his favorite things on Earth: music and weed.
This coming Tuesday, April 20 – the unofficial day of cannabis, the rapper and Bondly Finance, a music NFT strategy and development firm, will be releasing an NFT-only EP dubbed "Financial District," accompanied by a slew of additional goodies, a virtual cannabis smoke session with the artist, and more.
Bidding starts at 4:20pm EST on www.jetlifeapparel.com
"I have to monetize some things that are directly original to me and people can get nowhere else," Curren$y said during an exclusive interview. "In a time where everything happens online, on video conferences, we wanted to open the door and show how interactive we can be with our listeners and the people that are supporting us through a time where the way that we make our money has been compromised. Everybody has to reinvent the way that they get paid. And so, that's where we are right now."
To illustrate now NFTs work, he brought up the example of a friend who makes designs for Gucci and had recently sold one them via an NFT.

"Even people who can't afford the best Gucci piece that he might have made, might have been gifted enough cryptocurrency to make this purchase and feel like they own the design. This art piece right here is eternal and it exists in a space that you can't even put your fingers on.
"In my case, I didn't draw notes, like many other NFT artists who sell their visual art. But I can pen lyrics that will be unheard on any other platform, in any other realm other than this NFT. I'm not going through a computer to find B-sides, songs that I didn't use, or incomplete verses. I am in the lab creating pieces specifically for this."
Wait, What's An NFT?
Before moving on with the details of the NFT drop and the rest of the conversation with Curren$y, it's important to understand what NFTs are. If you already know, feel free to skip this section and scroll down right to the next.
Now, if you don't fully understand NFTs, check out this very clear explanation Erik Mendelson, music and strategic partnerships advisor at Bondly Finance, shared.
An NFT is simply a rare digital collectible, a limited digital collectible. If you think about a baseball card or even Yeezy [Kanye West] sneakers, you go to the store… Some people don't like Yeezy. I do, but some people don't. Some people don't like the sneaker. But they'll wait in line to go in the store because they know that., when they get those sneakers for two hundred dollars, as soon as they leave the store, they have the potential to sell it to a resale market of people who actually want that sneaker.
It's really no different in the NFT space, where you have crypto savvy people who are buying these NFTs because they believe there's a market they can potentially sell them to on the resale market, like a sneaker or a baseball card. But then there's also diehard NFT collectibles and fans of artists that are also purchasing these collectibles the way that I purchased baseball cards when I was younger because I'm just a fan of collecting baseball cards, I'm a fan of sports, I'm a fan of Curren$y, so I want this rare collectible.
What we're doing with Curren$y is kind of an iteration of what Wu-Tang did: they sold that album to that guy for a million dollars; he's the only person in the world that has access or ownership of that album. He doesn't own the rights to the music, he can't resell it. But the album is his.
What we're doing with Curren$y isn't as in depth of that; we are making it from for more for more consumers to purchase. But it's similar in essence.
You can resell this NFT, though. But as long as it's yours, it's yours. When you think of the Mona Lisa, I can go take a picture of the Mona Lisa right now. I can post it on Instagram, all my socials, as can you. But the museum owns the Mona Lisa. I don't own the Mona Lisa. My picture of Mona Lisa has absolutely no value. It's not a collectible. If I own that Mona Lisa, that original one, that one of one, that would be something.
'Financial District'
Curren$y's NFT release will be quite the event. In the words of Erik Mendelson, the NFT drop was planned as "a movie, or an NFT festival even."
The artist will sell and auction a long list of unique items, including an EP, digital and physical art, jewelry, trips, backstage passes, smoke sessions and more.
"It's so many things that it's damn near tangible. Actually, it is tangible," the rapper added, breaking down the NFT offering. "It's like walking out of a store or a convention with a bag full of things."

The highest tier will be reserved for just one lucky auction winner, who will get:
The 7-track "Financial District" EP.
A1-of-1 art piece to accompany it, designed by the popular artist Kid Eight, who'd previously worked with Chris Brown, Future, Gucci Mane, Fabolous, MoneyBagg Yo, Yo Gotti and others.
A physical version of the digital art piece, printed on canvas, and the possibility to integrate the art into virtual worlds including the Atari Metaverse.
Flights and hotel accommodation to meet Curren$y and attend an upcoming event.
There will also be three lower tiers on the NFT sale:
Tier 1 will include full 7-song EP (only 250 copies will be minted), a 4/20 Smoke Pass to join the rapper on a virtual smoke session, a Curren$y Lowrider NFT and rare Jet Life Chain NFT and physical chain (only 250 will be created).
Tier 2 features a trimmed-down 5-song selection from the EP, a 4/20 Smoke Pass, and a Curren$y Lowrider NFT.
Tier 3 is for those only looking to join the 4/20 virtual smoke session with Curren$y and Jet Life.
The auction will run thru April 22.
But, what is the incentive for people to pay for an NFT EP, if the songs can be found on the Internet later?
Well, for starters, neither Curren$y nor his associates will upload this EP to any streaming platforms. And, while people may bootleg it later on, it never hurts to remember Amanda Palmer's philosophy: "I think people have been obsessed with the wrong question, which is how do we make people pay for music? What if we started asking, how do we let people pay for music?"
The rapper concurred: "If the people who own the NFT chose to upload it or do something, it's theirs to do with it. If they want to transfer the file for me to hear or whatever, that's cool, because if I bought a Picasso, I would throw a party every weekend for you to come to my house."
And then, there's the smoke session.
"People who have been fortunate enough to kick it in the green room, even if they weren't smoking, they left stoned and enlightened and inspired to go off and do their thing. And that's an experience that I feel like everybody who's into my music needs to experience."
A Long Love Affair
Curren$y has been overt about his cannabis use and a very vocal advocate of legalization for many years now.
In a recent Forbes interview, Josh Kesselman, founder of the famed rolling papers brand RAW, disclosed the rapper was the first major star in the hip-hip world to shout out RAW in his songs, starting a trend that would fast become a rap staple.
"It all started with Curren$y, and then his whole smoke circle group, which included Wiz Khalifa. They all started smoking RAW. And they were not smoking because I gave it to them. They were buying it in the stores, man, because they really love to smoke and they're like, 'I like this. It's different. I can really taste the terps,'" the entrepreneur remembered.

Only a few days ago, Curren$y made headlines again, after headlining a campaign for Jay-Z's cannabis brand MONOGRAM alongside current sensation Chika.
Curiously enough, Shante was not always a fan of weed. During high school and until he was 22 or 23 years old, he thought stoners were lazy and a bit stupid.
"Everybody who I saw was into that [weed] was like a burnout, like nobody was doing anything outside of playing Hacky Sack. So I was like: this is a dead end choice right here," he declared.
But time would change his perceptions and prejudices.
"It started recreationally. I didn't really even know that anything that came to my mind at that point would turn into money. But once it got to the point where it didn't send me into a stoned madness, it became an extremely productive activity," he continued.
Nowadays, cannabis is a fundamental part of Curren$y's life. And with good reason.
"Cannabis frees your imagination a bit and you start thinking of possibilities. You realize you sitting around is not the answer," he said.
Being such a big fan of the herb, it only made sense for the rapper to drop his NFT project on 4/20.
"Every year a bunch of people are celebrating 4/20 for the first time. I've experienced it many times and it's no longer so special but, you know, you can't ruin Christmas for the babies just because you grew up and realized there's no Santa Claus. So you still got to provide and grow. You know what I'm saying? So, that's me, dressing up like Santa Claus and putting toys under the tree for everybody so that they still hold on to it and keep going," Curren$y concluded.
Check out the auction and stay tuned to this Forbes column for upcoming Curren$y projects and all things cannabis.

Pfft, vertex arrays without VBOs are deprecated.
Actually, I think that tutorial's rather good, bravo.
Thanks. I'm working on a VBO tutorial, too, since I realized how similar they are to vertex arrays.
Post subject: Re: Vertex Array Tutorial *EDIT* Now with VBOs!
Check the original post, there's a link to my VBO tutorial now. Criticism welcome.
glMapBuffer is a better route for dynamic data, and for static data you're better off uploading all your data in the glBufferData call.
Also, it's generally a good idea to separate your different attributes into different VBOs: meaning, have a "vertex" VBO, a "tex coord" VBO, a "colour" VBO for each mesh.
Yeah, wasn't sure which was the right way to go prior to writing the tutorial. My common sense told me that more VBOs == more overhead so I stayed away from it. However, I suppose using multiple VBOs is inevitable because it's required when using indices.
If you want to know what's fast and what's not, go on ##OpenGL on irc.freenode.net and talk to a guy who goes by several names, some of which are "glYoda", "feelgood" and "RTFM_FTW". He knows everything.

what is a redshirt freshman in football
By f.safizade on Saturday, January 1, 2022
Hi,welcome to solsarin site,we want to talk about"what is a redshirt freshman in football",thank you for choosinh us.stay with us.
what is a redshirt freshman in football?
A redshirt freshman in football is a player that is in their second year of school yet their first year of athletic participation. In college athletics are given four years of eligibility in their sport though using redshirting these players can spread this eligibility through five or six years of schooling.
In other words, athletes are allowed to compete in their sport for four seasons. But if a player utilizes redshirting he or she can sit out of competition for the first year of games and still maintain their four years of eligibility.
Redshirting players are still able to practice, condition, and receive academic assistance from the team. A redshirt year is usually time spent honing your skills so that your years of eligibility are used effectively.
If you are a redshirt freshman that means you redshirted your first year of eligibility. So even though it is your second year at the school it is your first year competing in your sport.
Why Do Players Redshirt In College?
It is widespread for college football players to redshirt. When coaches recruit players, they need to fill certain positions on the roster.
The reason why coaches will ask players to redshirt is to practice with the team without losing a year of eligibility.
If the player plays in 4 or more games (depending on the league), they may lose their eligibility. To get around this, colleges agreed to allow players to redshirt.
For instance, if the team has 5 quarterbacks on the roster, the coach may recruit a player they think will be a perfect fit for their team. However, if their current quarterback is a junior, they know that the recruited quarterback may not play for 2 years.
Instead of wasting a year of his eligibility, coaches will redshirt the freshman and not lose any playing time.
They also benefit from being on the team, as they will practice and do everything a football player does, except play in games.
Why Is It Called Redshirting?
The term "redshirt" comes from the red practice jerseys that reserves wear when they scrimmage against the starters. The concept of a redshirt traces back to pre-World War II college football.
In 1938, Nebraska Cornhuskers lineman, Warren Alfson, became the first redshirted player. Alfson asked his coaches to let him focus on practice, but not play any games, for his sophomore year.
In exchange, Alfson would earn a fifth year of playing eligibility. The move paid off for Alfson. He became an All-American in 1939 and did it again in 1940.
As Warren Alfson showed, redshirting isn't limited to true freshmen. Players of all classes can redshirt.
Should You Redshirt?
Redshirting is more than an extra year of eligibility. It is a decision to place a priority on being ready in the classroom and on the field. Redshirts have the opportunity to become better players, better teammates, and better students. However, whether or not to redshirt is a decision not to be taken lightly. Some of the reasons students might choose this option are outlined below.
What is the red shirt rule?
Being a redshirt means postponing one's eligibility to play football for a year, thereby extending it into a fifth year of college. During a redshirt year, an athlete can fully attend classes, practice with the team, and even "suit up" in the team uniform and play up to four games to preserve a year of eligibility.
What is a Medical Redshirt?
If a player sustains a season-ending injury they will redshirt. When this occurs, the athlete may apply to the NCAA or NAIA for a 'medical redshirt'. The NCAA calls this a "Hardship Waiver." If granted, the athlete rehabs and possibly begins practicing with the team, but may not enter into any competitions during that year.
Injuries that occur in the first half of the season may allow an athlete to redshirt for that year. If this happens to your teen, the athletic trainer at the college will walk your teen through the process of applying for a medical redshirt.
A medical redshirt is different than a regular redshirt. Athletes injured in the first half of the season who competed in less than thirty percent of the games may apply for a waiver. They don't lose a year of eligibility.
Is Redshirting Bad?
If a player is a redshirt, it does not mean that they are bad. Plenty of players have redshirted in their careers. It's a strategic move to ensure that they can get the most out of the player they are recruiting.
Many coaches will tell you about players they have on their team that is redshirting. They may ask if you have any players that could benefit from a redshirt season.
If you have a young player who will not play this year, try and convince him to redshirt. It's a great way for players to learn the system and work on their technique without losing playing time.
If you have a talented player coming up on his senior season, talk to the coach about the benefits of redshirting. It may be worth it to him to play another year without losing playing time or eligibility, as he works his way into the starting lineup next year.
How many redshirts can you have?
How many Redshirt years can you have? Just one. If the coach decides to redshirt you your freshmen year that is all you get. If you are injured before your junior year and miss the season, you are not eligible for a medical redshirt.
What does it mean to redshirt a girl?
Academic redshirting is the practice of keeping a child who is age-eligible for kindergarten out of school an extra year and enrolling him the next fall.
How many years can you be redshirted?
Redshirting allows a student-athlete five years to use four years of athletic eligibility. There are a few different ways to achieve this, and though military and religious redshirts have happened, they are not as common as voluntary, medical, and academic redshirting, which will be discussed below.
Redshirt scholarship offer
Typically, a redshirt athlete will have a scholarship but cannot compete for one year. They will participate in all team activities like practice, training, and receive benefits such as academic tutoring, but they will not see any playing time. However, they will get an opportunity to play four seasons in five years. Reasons for being redshirted include a coach wanting a year to physically prepare an athlete for college competition, or a chance for a student-athlete to recover from an injury. An "academic" redshirt would be a freshman who may not meet the academic eligibility requirements coming out of high school.
Pros of redshirt
More Time To Understand The Playbook
One beneficial aspect of redshirting for a year is the time you will have to learn the playbook. It is no surprise that college football playbooks are tough to understand. This is especially true for players coming out of high school.
Redshirted players may use this time to understand exactly what is going to expect out of their position when the time comes to play.
Get Your Body Into Shape
Getting your body into the shape demanded by a college football team is quite a difficulty on its own. Having a year with strength coaches and nutritionists will allow football players to get their bodies into the best shape of their life.
Much like the playbook when it comes to college football these coaches are going to demand a lot more out of you than in high school. This year of training will help athletes bridge that gap.
Acclimate To College Life
Outside of the sport itself, some players have trouble acclimating to college life. Taking this on plus all the responsibilities of playing your sport can be tough. By taking a redshirt season players may find themselves acclimating to college life quicker.
This will make it easier on them when the time comes around to play football the following year.
Cons of red shirt
Don't Always Get To Travel With The Team
Most collegiate sports teams have budgets and the majority do not include travelling redshirt players around throughout the year. This means by taking a redshirt year you will likely miss out on travelling with the team.
This means you may miss out on some of the team bonding and comradery that will take place throughout your first year of school.
Losing A Year Of Athletic Ability
If you plan on playing your sport professionally then spending a year not competing can be seen as a flaw. If a player is going to the NFL it is their best interest to get to the league as fast as possible.
In order to have a long career, you want to be drafted at a young age. By spending an extra year in college you will be losing one year of athletic ability.

Review: BattleCON
by Jacob Englebrecht-Gollander | posted in: Good With Two, Quick Games, Reviews, Top Rated Games | 0
Imagine a game of bluffs and mind games but with a physical representation and feel of a 2D fighting game ala Street Fighter. BattleCON is all that and more. It is a sprawling and fantastic sandbox of a fighting game. Any mode or feature you can imagine is available in the system. But to begin with this is a review of the base game of BattleCON: Fate of Indines so let's get to it!
What is BattleCON like?
At its core BattleCON is about choosing a fighter (with unique abilities and cards) and going head to head with an opponent. In your hand you have two kinds of cards. In every turn of the game both players chose one of each kind and then reveal them simultaneously.
The cards are then executed after a set of rules that are slightly complicated at first, but after a couple of games they become second nature. The cards you just played are then put aside and out of your hand for two turns. In that way you always have two sets of cards that you can't choose from. Knowing how to set yourself up for cool moves in future turns is a big part of the game. You continue to do this until someone is dead or a set amount of rounds. And that is basically the game.
What is so interesting about the game is how a match evolves, how you try to take into account what cards your opponent have available, what their strategy is, what the strengths and weaknesses of their character is and so forth. It is deeply strategical and incredibly rewarding.
BattleCON: Fate of Indines is the latest base set available in the lineup of BattleCON games. There are three base sets (War of Indines, Devistation of Indines and Fate of Indines) and a lot of smaller boxes that gives you extra stuff to do. There are no overlap in fighters between the base games, so in that sense either one is good, however there is A LOT of stuff to dive in to. If you just want to get your feet wet and try out the game Fate of Indines is the perfect place to start. It also has a perfect box size to carry the game around.
I love this game. The amount depth in such a simple concept. The well-balanced fighters. The thrill of out-thinking your opponent. The ease of the game. It can be explained in less than five minutes, but have so much room for strategy and bluffing and getting into the head of your opponent. The complete lack of luck. This is the best possible fighting game system I can imagine. Fate of Indines furthermore is the perfect entry for newcomers. It is small enough to not be overwhelming while still offering enough fighter variability to really let players get into the game and the size of the box is perfect for carrying it around. I almost always have it in my bag ready to get in a quick game with a friend.
Fun:
This game is fun in a box. If you at all like games of strategy in a "one on one" environment this is one to try. The theme and the directness of the conflict might turn some away, but for me it is perfect.
This game completely encapsulates the feel of the 2D fighting games (but at a much slower speed – thankfully). And if you get more of the base games you will also have a "beat 'em up" game in a box as well as tag team play and many more awesome play modes. The care and thoughts going in to these packages is incredible and nothing feels unthematic.
The game can really be played on anything that constitutes a row of boxes, and as such doesn't require much, however the game board that comes with Fate of Indines is a little bland. I personally have bought some nice neoprene gaming mats for when I need to show of the game. It just injects it with a lot more visual spectacle. The fighters on the other hand have awesome art on them and I have nothing to say against that nor the cards in the game.
The overall quality of the production is incredible. The only nicks I have against it is that there were a few places in the manual that took me a while to really understand and some of the wheels you use to keep track of your life are a bit loose (but honestly I don't remember which of all the BattleCON boxes they came from). There is also a small printing error in the first printing that I received.
Complexity Level
This is a simple game. If you have it explained to you it is an easy level two complexity game. If you have to learn it from the rules it sneaks into the level three area but just barely.
Players: 2 (with Devastation of Indines it is 1-4)
Playing time: 15 minutes
Suggested age: 10+

"After painting for over 30 years, I am still fascinated by the alchemy & expression of paint. Primarily I am a studio painter working in oil on canvas. Oil paint is a very elastic medium with rich color, which will stay wet for several days. I work wet into wet, using brushes and pieces of cardboard to move the paint. I am constantly exploring the canvas's surface. My painting process allows for a lot of spontaneity in both paint handling and color. I begin a painting with a basic concept, and wander through many stages of paint action and destruction before arriving at a finish that feels resolved.
When I relocated to San Francisco in 1977, I was influenced by the Bay Area figurative painters. I paint the figure abstracted by motion, water and emotion. I work in a series, often working on several paintings from different series at the same time.
My paintings evolve from the fluid stream of my conscious and subconscious mind. The viewer is free to enjoy the painting's imagery, color, & surface texture or go deeper into their emotional response."

L'Excès contraire ou le chevalier de lait est une pièce de théâtre de Françoise Sagan représentée pour la première fois sur la scène du Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens le , dans une mise en scène de Michel Blanc et des décors d'Alexandre Trauner.

Résumé
Frédéric, un jeune lieutenant de Uhlans de Saxe, est surpris dans le lit d'Adèle par Cornélius, son mari. Un duel apparaît donc inévitable. Mais comme Cornélius est un redoutable adversaire, Frédéric va s'ingénier à éviter le duel.

Une blessure opportune lui permet de le différer, mais il cherche le moyen d'y échapper définitivement. Apprenant que Cornélius a une sœur vieille fille, Hanaé, il décide de l'épouser et, devenant ainsi le beau-frère de Cornélius, échapper à jamais à la menace. Hanaé, qui ne s'était jusque là uniquement préoccupée de chasse, découvre l'amour et tombe dans l'« excès contraire » à la suite de sa première expérience avec son époux. Oubliant la chasse elle se révèle une nymphomane épuisant son époux ainsi que tous les hommes qu'elle peut croiser.

Elle rencontre ainsi Konrad, apprend qu'il est puceau et décide de le sauver de cette situation qu'elle trouve dramatique. Frédéric, de peur de devoir se battre en duel avec les amants, supporte sa situation de cocu jusqu'au jour où Hanaé prend enfin conscience de ses excès et devient fidèle.

Un autre événement vient mettre définitivement Frédéric à l'abri des duels, il sauve l'empereur d'un attentat anarchiste et est fait "chevalier de lait", donc intouchable.

It was a trick. Don't spoil it.
I like to think of them as cattle.
And mentally all females are children.
I had the opposite happen to me.
A younger woman made it difficult for me in the workplace because she kept distracting me with those come on eyes.
I had to go up to her and explain the age difference and then ask her to stop giving me that look.

Maybe so, but it actually made her want me more.
I'm sure the last sentence happened, to the shock of this bewildered young girl.
And then HR got involved.
No Rudi. This event did happen and I have the memories to prove it.
