La Madone du Rosaire (Madonna del Rosario) est un tableau de 1539 de Lorenzo Lotto. Cette œuvre, huile sur toile de , est conservée à la pinacothèque municipale de la ville de Cingoli, dans la région des Marches, en Italie. La signature de l'artiste apparaît au-dessous des pieds de la Vierge : « .L.LOTUS.MDXXXIX. ».

Histoire
L'œuvre fut commandée par la Confraternité du Rosaire de Cingoli, petite ville proche de Jesi, pour orner un autel de l'église Saint-Dominique. Elle y demeura jusqu'à la fin des années 1960, d'où elle fut transférée, pour des raisons de conservation, à l'église Saint-Nicolas, puis au musée.

Thème
Dans l'iconographie chrétienne,  la Vierge Marie peut être accompagnée d'un objet symbolique, une rose, qui invoque l'amour et en particulier l'« amour universel » que représente précisément la Vierge aussi appelée « la rose sans épines ».

Outre les invocations par une seule fleur coupée, il existe également des Vierges au buisson de rose (Schongauer, William Adolphe Bouguereau, etc.), représentations où la Vierge portant l'Enfant est placée devant un rosier. La symbolique change alors entre fleur unique coupée (voire sans épines) tenue, ou présente en premier plan, et arbuste placé en arrière-fond.

Cette représentation de la Vierge trônant et dominant la scène, ou Vierge en majesté, peut aussi être qualifiée de conversation sacrée, puisqu'elle est accompagnée de figures saintes intemporelles.

Description
Dans un format à haut cintré (centinata), la Vierge portant l'Enfant trône au centre de la composition, entourée de figures saintes : saint Dominique agenouillé à gauche reçoit de la Vierge sa couronne ; un évêque en habits à droite, agenouillé également, présente à l'Enfant Jésus, un modèle de la cité ; juste derrière lui, plusieurs autres figures saintes présentant des lys ou tenant un crucifix. De l'autre côté d'autres figures saintes encadrent la scène : une femme avec une fiole dans la main et un moine levant la sienne pour montrer du doigt le haut de la scène. Sous le trône deux angelots (ou putti) éparpillent des pétales de roses d'un panier d'osier accompagné du petit saint Jean, reconnaissable à ses attributs, montrant Jésus du doigt.

Cette scène du premier plan est complétée en fond  jusqu'en haut de la composition d'un arbuste supportant une quinzaine de médaillons représentant chacun un épisode de la vie de Marie ou de Jésus.
On peut y reconnaître  :
 L'enfance du Christ :
  L'Annonciation,
 la Visitation,
 la Nativité,
 la Circoncision
  Le Christ et les docteurs du temple.
 La Passion du Christ
 La Prière au jardin des oliviers,
 la Flagellation,
 le Couronnement d'épines,
 le Chemin de Croix
 la Crucifixion.
 La Montée au ciel :
 la Résurrection
 l'Ascension,
 la Pentecôte,
 l'Assomption de la Vierge,
 Le Couronnement de Marie.

Analyse
Sperandia Simonetti est représentée à l'extrême gauche du tableau en sainte Claire portant la fiole et accompagnée de Pierre de Vérone. L'évêque de droite serait San'Esuperanzio, dignitaire religieux local (qui présente sa ville à Jésus). Derrière lui Marie-Madeleine (?)  et Thomas d'Aquin ou Vincent Ferrier.

Le panier d'osier et les pétales de roses éparpillés rappellent un détail de la tradition de la procession locale dédiée à Marie.

La composition en médaillons est du pur style gothique.

SNF Flex Scheduling Watch
The Game to Show the Games
What Would a Conference-Free NFL Playoff Television Schedule Look Like?
January 9, 2020 by Morgan Wick
As the NFL playoffs continue this weekend, the league hopes to complete a new CBA and new television contracts by the end of the year, and there could be big changes on the horizon. As part of the CBA, the league wants to introduce a 17th game to the schedule, potentially accompanied by a second bye week, in hopes of carving out an additional package to sell to media or streaming companies. As it is there should be plenty of interest in the existing packages, with Disney hoping to get ABC back into the Super Bowl rotation, as well as the prospect of ending the conference-specific tie-ins of the Sunday afternoon packages.
In my view, the former is more likely than the latter. I'm not sure I've seen any actually solid reporting that the conference tie-ins would completely end, and even if they did it would depend on Fox's willingness to give CBS (or whoever wins the other Sunday afternoon package) equal rights to the top Sunday afternoon games in exchange for a lower rights fee. If Fox isn't up for that, CBS isn't going to accept taking the dregs of the schedule left over after the other networks take their picks, as I said before the season when I looked at what a fully unconferenced schedule might look like, and would rather simply keep its AFC tie-in that ensures fans of teams in markets like Boston, Houston, and New York are tuning in to CBS in a majority of weeks, with expanded crossflexing allowing them to air more NFC games, perhaps with more flexibility in the balance of crossflexes. (The Titans may have benefitted from the Chiefs winning in the early slot Week 17 giving the Texans nothing to play for, a set of games that may have been scheduled the way they were in part because the NFL owed Fox a crossflexed CBS game and so didn't want to overcomplicate things by giving CBS another Fox game to anchor their early slot, even if the Patriots could still have played early, or punish both networks by giving Fox an actually meaningful AFC game that would have diluted the audience for the NFC East race Fox wanted to focus on. While many of my commenters, which I even agree with, would solve this problem by playing all games in each conference at the same time Week 17 with each broadcast network getting two games from each, there's no evidence that's actually under consideration.)
If the league does dissolve the conference tie-ins on the Sunday afternoon packages, it will need to reinvent its playoff schedule – and this is an area where ABC entering the Super Bowl rotation in addition to the existing partners, as opposed to replacing one of them, could help the league (or hinder it, depending on your point of view), and something I suspect the league's move this year to put the Sunday divisional games at the same start times as the conference championship games may be in preparation for. The NFL playoff schedule has historically been highly tied to the networks' conference tie-ins, and while having NBC trade in the weakest wild-card game for a divisional-round game in the last contract has gone some distance to allow the league some flexibility in scheduling playoff games, nonetheless the need for CBS to air only AFC games and Fox only NFC games is an overriding consideration on the playoff schedule. NBC and ABC effectively need to air wild-card games in opposite conferences, and the conference NBC's divisional game comes from is set before the season, alternating between the two conferences so CBS and Fox know whether they're airing one or two divisional games. Finally, the conference championships – annually the most-watched programming of the year outside the Super Bowl – always air on the networks of each conference's respective Sunday afternoon package, alternating between the 3 PM ET and 6:30 PM ET timeslots. Dissolving the conference tie-ins means eliminating the underlying reason for this structure, and NBC and ABC would love to get conference championship games in years they don't have the Super Bowl.
What structure might replace it? Here's how I, at least, would structure things to keep all of the league's partners happy:
The conference championship games go to two networks that are not airing the Super Bowl. The network airing neither a conference championship nor the Super Bowl gets two divisional-round games, one from each conference, to compensate, including the late Sunday divisional game with first pick of the available games, with the conference championship networks getting the other two. Among other things, this allows a network to know that they will have the late Sunday divisional game ahead of time and schedule lead-out programming accordingly (something Fox wasn't able to do this year). (If the Super Bowl rotation remains at three networks, the Super Bowl network gets two divisional games but the network airing the early conference championship game gets the late Sunday spot and first pick of available games.)
The network airing the early conference championship game gets the Sunday 4:30 ET wild-card game and first pick of games on the weekend. Thus, all four networks get an NFL playoff game as a lead-in to primetime programming. To compensate the early conference championship network for not actually having their Sunday late game in primetime, that network also gets second choice of divisional games and timeslots; if the top two picks go to the same conference, the two-divisionals network gets the worse of the two games from the remaining conference. (This does not apply if the Super Bowl rotation remains at three networks; in that case NBC may keep the Sunday late wild-card game on lockdown as a lead-in to the Golden Globes, unless they end up shut out. I don't know how the league would handle it if one network gets completely shut out of the NFL.)
To compensate the Super Bowl network for only airing one playoff game before the Super Bowl, that network gets second choice of games and time slots on Wild Card weekend with the opportunity to leapfrog the early conference championship network for the best game (but only on Saturday night), depending on stadium availability and time zones, as well as the league's preference that each conference get a game wrapping up at least one round of the playoffs each year, and that each non-Super Bowl network air at least one game from each conference. In both cases I would expect the second-choice time slot to be on Saturday nights (except, potentially, for NBC, to avoid pissing off Lorne Michaels) once out-of-home data is fully baked into Nielsen numbers, but for divisional weekend especially the Sunday early slot may remain strong.
If there is no clear distinction between the two remaining networks based on the above criteria (or maintaining a balance of games from each conference for the late conference championship network), the two-divisionals network gets the remaining choice of wild-card games, as they would likely still be doing worse in gross playoff ratings points compared to the conference championship networks. On the other hand, the late conference championship network hasn't really gotten to "choose" anything, so they may get to pick ahead of the two-divisionals network under certain circumstances, especially if they're stuck with the AFC championship game.
In the event the league expands the playoffs to 14 teams, the additional wild-card games go to ESPN and whoever picks up the remaining, "new" package. If the league wishes to stick entirely to broadcast television, one game goes to ABC (assuming ABC and ESPN pick up separate regular-season packages) with the other going to the Super Bowl network except in years that's ABC. In those cases, over the course of an eight-year contract the extra game would go to CBS one year and Fox the other, in recognition of their having to produce many more games in the regular season and having more ability to bring in a second broadcast team seamlessly.
Over the course of an eight-year contract, each network gets each conference championship game in each timeslot once. As a result, the conference championships mostly stick with their current pattern of alteration, but "skip" a year at one point so that each network gets a conference championship in the same timeslot they did four years ago, but from the opposite conference. Alternately, each network's timeslot varies from the first rotation to the second, though my inclination is that timeslot is more important. In total, the league will try to give each network ten playoff games from each conference over the life of the contract, though some imbalances may be inevitable.
Optional: Exclusive rights to the NFL Draft go to the network furthest from the Super Bowl, so the network that just completed their second season without it.
Here's one idea for how the rotation might look. I'm assuming once the Super Bowl rotation goes to four networks NBC would want all their Super Bowl years to fall in Winter Olympic years, as in 2018 and 2022 (if the changes to the schedule result in the Super Bowl overlapping with the Winter Olympics on a regular basis, at least NBC is stopping any other network from stealing their Olympic thunder). With Fox reportedly selling national Super Bowl ad space to Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg the day before the Iowa caucuses, I suspect the league would be accused of trying to tip the political scales if they gave Fox the Super Bowl in presidential election years on a regular basis, so I gave Fox the Super Bowl in the year after NBC, followed by CBS and finally ABC. For this first rotation, each network gets conference championship games in alternating years. "2D" refers to the two-divisional network, "SB" to the Super Bowl network, and the conference championship networks are referred to with the conference each network is slated to air followed by an "early" or "late" designation.
2023: 2D ABC, AFC early CBS, NFC late NBC, SB Fox
2024: 2D NBC, NFC early Fox, AFC late ABC, SB CBS
2025: 2D Fox, AFC early NBC, NFC late CBS, SB ABC
2026: 2D CBS, NFC early ABC, AFC late Fox, SB NBC
2027: 2D ABC, NFC early CBS, AFC late NBC, SB Fox
2028: 2D NBC, AFC early Fox, NFC late ABC, SB CBS
2029: 2D Fox, NFC early NBC, AFC late CBS, SB ABC
2030: 2D CBS, AFC early ABC, NFC late Fox, SB NBC
To help you understand how this works, here's what the 2023 playoff schedule might look like under this system:
Wild card: Saturday 4:30 PM ET NBC (or ABC), Saturday 8 PM ET Fox or ABC, Sunday 1 PM ET ABC or Fox (or NBC), Sunday 4:30 PM ET CBS
Divisional: Saturday 4:30 PM ET ABC, Saturday 8 PM ET CBS or NBC, Sunday 3 PM ET NBC or CBS, Sunday 6:30 PM ET ABC
Conference championships: AFC 3 PM ET CBS, NFC 6:30 PM ET NBC
Super Bowl: 6:30 PM ET, Fox
Optional: 2023 Draft on ABC and/or ESPN
Here's an alternative where each network's two-divisional year comes the year after the Super Bowl and "works their way up" to the Super Bowl the next time, with CBS and ABC switched.
2023: 2D NBC, AFC early CBS, NFC late ABC, SB Fox
2025: 2D ABC, AFC early Fox, NFC late NBC, SB CBS
2027: 2D NBC, NFC early CBS, AFC late ABC, SB Fox
2029: 2D ABC, NFC early Fox, AFC late NBC, SB CBS
One caveat: when it was first reported that NBC would give up a wild-card game for a divisional game in the current contract, it wasn't entirely clear what would happen to the other three divisional games, and I kind of expected NBC to take two divisional games as a way of approaching as close to parity with CBS and Fox as possible without having a conference championship. Not only did that not happen, NBC doesn't seem to have consistently if at all picked divisional games ahead of CBS or Fox, and the somewhat random timeslots and fixed conference alignments of NBC's divisional games have made them seem something of an afterthought. So there's no guarantee that the league is thinking in any way close to what I lay out here, and at the very least NBC may end up never getting multiple games in any round given how few games they produce and how relatively difficult it would be for them to bring in a second commentary and production team. Still, this seems to me to be the most logical course for the league to take if it takes away the underlying justification for the conference championships to be fixed to CBS and Fox as they currently are.
One last note with implications for all of this: although Disney is reportedly targeting a piece of one of the existing Sunday packages for ABC, my prediction for what happens in the new contract is that Monday Night Football returns to ABC, while ESPN picks up a (relative to the expanded schedule, at least) pared-back Thursday night schedule with exclusively teams coming off a bye and the late Thanksgiving game on ABC. Whatever new contract the league carves out with London/Saturday/special-occasion games goes to NFL Network in the short term while being earmarked for sale to a streaming outlet in the long term (I think the creation of an extra package is more about divorcing Thursday Night Football from NFL Network than actually selling such a scattershot package to one of the other networks). Relevant to the above discussion, I also think the return of MNF to broadcast could be bad news for NBC. Before the move to ESPN and Sundays becoming the league's main primetime night, MNF routinely beat the Sunday afternoon packages, which have turned the tables and routinely beat SNF since then; shortly after ESPN took over Mondays, they started routinely threatening and beating the all-time cable audience records until the BCS/College Football Playoff moved to cable, something that never happened on Sundays.
I could see the league giving ABC more marquee games in the early part of the season than NBC, while late in the season, giving ABC limited flexible scheduling modeled off of what the league has done on Saturday of Week 16 the past two years while also giving ABC tentative games whose ratings performance depend on player healthiness and overall team performance as little as possible (i.e., Cowboys games). NBC would want the best game of the week at least a quarter of the time, as well as at least some early-season weeks where they have a better game than ABC (including at least some Cowboys games), but the worst-case scenario could result in flexible scheduling being NBC's only advantage over ABC, in which case NBC could push for severely weakening the protection system, potentially with no protections at all for networks in singleheader weeks. If Sunday nights are weakened enough by a resurgent Monday night, that could provide all the more reason for NBC to pick up two divisional or wild-card games in certain years, just so NBC isn't that much more obviously the "fourth network" where the league is concerned. As it is Disney picking up two packages and decoupling Sunday afternoon packages from conferences is likely to result in NBC paying less than any of the other networks outside of whatever extra package the league creates.

Predictions for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2020
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's selections are performed by a panel of 46 leading NFL media members including representatives of all 32 NFL teams, a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America, and 13 at-large writers.
The panel has selected a list of 15 finalists from the modern era, defined as playing all or part of their careers within the last 25 years. A player must have spent 5 years out of the league before they can be considered for induction into the Hall of Fame. Players that last played in the 2014 season will be eligible for induction in 2020.
During Super Bowl Weekend, the panel will meet and narrow down the list of modern-era finalists down to five. This year, those five will be part of a special centennial class of 20, including ten senior candidates to be inducted in a special Centennial Celebration to honor the NFL's 100th birthday in September, and three contributors and two coaches, to be inducted with the modern-era candidates in August. The senior candidates, contributors, and coaches will be chosen by a special blue-ribbon panel later this month, and will be voted on as a group by the full Hall of Fame panel during Super Bowl weekend, for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
My prediction for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2020 (modern-era candidates and coaches only) is:

Sunday Night Football Flex Scheduling Watch: Week 15
December 17, 2019 by Morgan Wick
Since it started in its current format as the NFL's main primetime package in 2006, the defining feature of NBC's Sunday Night Football has been the use of flexible scheduling to ensure the best matchups and showcase the best teams as the season goes along. Well, that's the theory, anyway; the reality has not always lived up to the initial hype and has at times seemed downright mystifying. Regardless, I'm here to help you figure out what you can and can't expect to see on Sunday nights on NBC.
A full explanation of all the factors that go into flexible scheduling decisions can be found on my NFL Flexible Scheduling Primer, but here's the Cliffs Notes version with all the important points you need to know:
The season can be broken down into three different periods (four if you count the first four weeks where flexible scheduling does not apply at all) for flexible scheduling purposes, each with similar yet different rules governing them: the early flex period, from weeks 5 to 10; the main flex period, from weeks 11 to 16; and week 17. In years where Christmas forces either the Sunday afternoon slate or the Sunday night game to Saturday in Week 16, flex scheduling does not apply that week, and the main flex period begins week 10.
In all cases, only games scheduled for Sunday may be moved to Sunday night. Thursday and Monday night games, as well as late-season Saturday games, are not affected by Sunday night flexible scheduling (discounting the "flexible scheduling" applied to Saturday of Week 16 this year and last – see below).
During the early and main flex periods, one game is "tentatively" scheduled for Sunday night and listed with the Sunday night start time of 8:20 PM ET. This game will usually remain at that start time and air on NBC, but may be flexed out for another game and moved to 1, 4:05, or 4:25 PM ET on Fox or CBS, no less than 12 days in advance of the game.
No more than two games can be flexed to Sunday night over the course of the early flex period. If the NFL wishes to flex out a game in the early flex period twelve days in advance, CBS and Fox may elect to protect one game each from being moved to Sunday night. This is generally an emergency valve in situations where the value of the tentative game has plummeted since the schedule was announced, namely in cases of injury to a key star player.
CBS and Fox may also each protect games in five out of six weeks of the main flex period, but all of those protections must be submitted after week 5, week 4 in years where the main flex period begins week 10 (so it is always six weeks before the start of the main flex period).
No team may appear more than six times across the league's three primetime packages on NBC, ESPN, and Fox/NFL Network, and only three teams are allowed to appear that often, with everyone else getting five. In addition, no team may appear more than four times on NBC. All teams' number of appearances heading into this season may be seen here.
According to the league's official page, teams are notified when "they are no longer under consideration or eligible for a move to Sunday night." However, they rarely make this known to the fans, and the list of each network's protections has never officially been made public. It used to leak fairly regularly, but has not leaked since 2014.
In all cases, the NFL is the ultimate arbiter of the schedule and consults with CBS, Fox, and NBC before moving any games to prime time. If the NFL does elect to flex out the Sunday night game, the network whose game is flexed in may receive the former tentative game, regardless of which network would "normally" air it under the "CBS=AFC, Fox=NFC" rules, keeping each network's total number of games constant. At the same time, the NFL may also move games between 1 PM ET and 4:05/4:25 PM ET. However, this feature focuses primarily if not entirely on Sunday night flexible scheduling.
In Week 17, the entire schedule is set on only six days notice, ensuring that NBC gets a game with playoff implications, generally a game where the winner is the division champion. More rarely, NBC may also show an intra-division game for a wild card spot, or a game where only one team wins the division with a win but doesn't win the division with a loss, but such situations are rare and last year was the first time it showed such a game. If no game is guaranteed to have maximum playoff implications before Sunday night in this fashion, the league has been known not to schedule a Sunday night game at all. To ensure maximum flexibility, no protections or appearance limits apply to Week 17. The NFL also arranges the rest of the schedule such that no team playing at 4:25 PM ET (there are no 4:05 games Week 17) could have their playoff fate decided by the outcome of the 1 PM ET games, which usually means most if not all of the games with playoff implications outside Sunday night are played at 4:25 PM ET.
Here are the current tentatively-scheduled games and my predictions:

Last-Minute Remarks on SNF Week 15 Picks
December 1, 2019 December 2, 2019 by Morgan Wick
Week 15 (December 15):
Tentative game: Minnesota @ LA Chargers
Prospects: 8-3 v. 4-8 continues to raise concerns about this game being concerningly lopsided. This game is back to having the worst team in any tentative in the flex period.
Likely protections: Texans-Titans, Jaguars-Raiders, or nothing (CBS) and Rams-Cowboys if anything (FOX).
Other possible games mentioned on last week's Watch and their records: Bills (9-3)-Steelers (7-5), Texans (8-4)-Titans (7-5), Seahawks (9-2)-Panthers (5-7), Jaguars (4-8)-Raiders (6-6), Bears (6-6)-Packers (9-3).
Impact of Monday Night Football: Well, it's the Vikings and the Seahawks, but their respective games are so lopsided that the loser would be the one whose game would become more likely to be flexed in (or keep its spot in the case of the Vikings).
Analysis: When an otherwise serviceable tentative in Seahawks-Eagles was flexed out to make way for Packers-Niners, Seahawks fans (and front-office staff) upset at the team moving from a primetime showcase to a 10 AM PT start could take solace that the Seahawks' clash with the Panthers, who were contending for the playoffs despite losing Cam Newton, looked likely to be flexed in in Week 15. Fast forward to now: the Panthers haven't won a game since, as a result the Saints clinched the division as early as their Thanksgiving game with the Falcons while the Panthers are now tied with the Buccaneers (with the Bucs holding the tiebreaker!) for second in the division, and Seahawks-Panthers has become so lopsided it would be a legitimate candidate to be flexed out if it were the tentative. Based purely on record Bills-Steelers, Texans-Titans, and Bears-Packers would seem to be the favorites, and Texans-Titans can be dismissed out of hand right from the jump. Bears-Packers has the most name value and is only a half-game worse than Bills-Steelers, but NBC already showed that rivalry to kick off the season, and Fox, which probably didn't protect it only because they have the Cowboys in their feature game, would scream bloody murder at losing it twice, once to a rare kickoff game not involving the Super Bowl champions and once to a flex. I normally dismiss the name value of the Bills, but the Steelers (despite lacking their own star quarterback) are one of the few teams that can pop a rating no matter who's on the team, how they're doing, or who they're playing, and the Bills' Thanksgiving clash did gerbonkers ratings even by the lofty standards of Cowboys Thanksgiving games, so they're hardly chopped liver and have more national showcases coming – a Saturday NFLN clash with the Patriots the following week and a return to the playoffs as the third- or fourth-best team in the AFC. The time is ripe to give them a Sunday night showcase as well.
Final prediction: Buffalo Bills @ Pittsburgh Steelers.
Actual selection: Buffalo Bills @ Pittsburgh Steelers (matches prediction). Which was actually announced before halftime of the Sunday night game, meaning, as pointed out to me on Twitter, it came before the Patriots opened up an opportunity for the Bills to actually catch them for the division and a first-round bye. (Which, coupled with the Rams' continued mediocrity, means the game between them might now be the most attractive of the three Week 16 Saturday NFLN games.)

Yes, this is going up barely twelve hours before the start of the Sunday slate. Shrug emoji.
Week 12 (November 24):
Tentative game: Seattle @ Philadelphia
Prospects: 7-2 v. 5-4. Not as lopsided as it could have been, and the Eagles are right in the thick of contention in the NFC East.
Likely protections: Jaguars-Titans if anything (CBS) and Cowboys-Patriots (FOX).
Other possible games mentioned on last week's Watch and their records: Packers (8-2)-49ers (8-0), Saints (7-2)-Panthers (5-4)
Impact of Monday Night Football: Were the Seahawks to win, not only would Packers-Niners lose its major storyline of the Niners being unbeaten, the Seahawks would only be a half-game back of the division and would tentatively hold a tiebreaker over the Niners, though Seahawks-Eagles would become a skosh more lopsided. On the other hand, a Niners victory might well put the division out of reach for all practical purposes with the Seahawks needing to make up three losses and the tiebreaker.
Analysis: We have a Sunday night tentative with potential wild-card and division implications for both teams and a late-afternoon feature game pitting two big names on top of their divisions, yet we also have Packers-Niners, pitting one of the league's biggest names against the last undefeated team with each team two games better than the tentative, pinned to the late afternoon slot and seemingly doomed to limited distribution. Ideally, the league would flex in Packers-Niners, crossflex either Seahawks-Eagles or Saints-Panthers to CBS, and have each game anchor either the early-doubleheader or singleheader window, but who knows if the league would be willing to do anything that sensible, especially since the Seahawks probably wouldn't be happy about a game formerly scheduled for primetime now being scheduled for the morning in their home time zone.
Seahawks-Eagles isn't so bad it would normally warrant being flexed out, but the league has flexed out perfectly fine tentatives in the past to increase the distribution of games that would otherwise be relegated to limited distribution, to the point of twice allowing the former tentative to anchor the late spot of the doubleheader, not to mention the infamous "protection override" of 2013. However, the record of the league doing so with underdistributed late-doubleheader games, as opposed to 4:05 singleheader games, is limited, and the league has twice in the past twelve months failed to boost the distribution of Rams divisional games that instead languished at 4:05, though for understandable reasons (I predicted no flex both times). A flex would represent the Packers' sixth primetime appearance but none of their remaining games before Week 17 seem terribly likely to be flexed in. Last week I suggested that Packers-Niners could be flexed in regardless of the result of the Monday night game if the Packers won, because a Seahawks win would just make Seahawks-Eagles more lopsided while Packers-Niners would only be a half-game apart, and that's what happened. I'm predicting the league will pull the flex here, but I would be far from surprised if Seahawks-Eagles kept its spot (and the fact nothing has been announced as I post this might not be a good sign for a flex unless there are some intense negotiations going on).
Final prediction: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers.

Radical Rehabilitation
Thomas Knerer and Eva Lang in Conversation with Muck Petzet and Florian Heilmeyer
Muck Petzet: Aside from its size, what makes the high-rise student housing in Munich relevant? To what extent do you see something special in it?
Thomas Knerer: Günther Eckert's design was radical. He wanted to establish a counterpoint to Werner Wirsing's neighboring low-scale housing, the so-called Bungalow Village, where each student inhabits their own house. With Eckert's design, however, 801 students were meant to live together in a single building. The radical nature of this approach was translated with utmost consistency in the design and its construction.
Eva Lang: It is one of the most expressive buildings in the entire Olympic Park, and we believe that to this day it remains a particularly compelling architectural document of its time.
Florian Heilmeyer: Can you describe this expressiveness more precisely?
EL: The individual apartments were depicted on the exterior by fair-faced concrete frames stacked one above the other. Together with the engineering firm SSP, Günther Eckert developed a building system with a high degree of prefabrication.
TK: The resulting "stacked walls" formed the east and west façades of the building and were connected by concrete beams spanning across its depth. The building's interior remained column-free, and the student apartments were added using prefabricated modules. Whether the architect chose this means of construction in order to enable subsequent conversion is something we can only speculate on.
EL: In any case, the resulting overall form appears to be almost accidental but is flexible. From a distance, the silhouette is—intentionally or not—reminiscent of an Alpine panorama.
MP: What was the condition of the building when you saw it for the first time?
TK: It was clear that the entire exterior supporting structure, including the loggias, needed to be packed in a thermally insulated enclosure in order to meet the requirements of current energy-saving regulations. That meant the building's rehabilitation also called for a radical approach: we hang a new structure of lightweight precast concrete in front of the existing. This provides a degree of plasticity that comes very close to that of the earlier building. The new windows and the metal panels with which we have now clad all the spandrels create a strong reference to the materiality of the original building and its façade articulation, but without copying it. Instead of the very tightly dimensioned apartments, we've inserted compact, small apartments with various, spatially differentiated functional areas.
MP: You refer to the project as a rehabilitation measure, but the changes to the external appearance make it much more than that, don't they?
TK: To be sure, our alteration can be read in the many new details, but a connection with the building's origins still remains—sometimes more and sometimes less subtle. Changes were necessary, but we didn't want to destroy the special charm of the 1970s. It was especially important to preserve the building's character when seen from a distance. After being refurbished, the building will inescapably continue to assert its prominent place in the Olympic Village ensemble.
FH: All these considerations and subtleties—and in the end, one almost can hardly distinguish the intervention from the preexisting condition. Can this "invisibility" be satisfying at all for you as architects?
EL: We've talked a lot about that. Our office is in Dresden, where the subject of history is dealt with very often, very emotionally, and with great controversy. We believe that buildings must be adapted to meet changed circumstances and conditions. Thus our approach for working on the student housing in Munich is not primarily one of historic preservation, but is developed from the various requirements of our mandate. Our design represents an independent solution; it's not a restoration of the original state. That would not have been technically feasible. We view the work rather like music: as a variation and reinterpretation of a theme with similar instruments. As natives of Munich, we have always liked and admired the building. That's why a major change to its configuration was for us absolutely out of the question.
FH: Is there something of a "new cautiousness" to be sensed in your treatment of the existing—a certain desire to discover, retain, and refine existing qualities?
EL: Exactly. It's hopefully an affectionate approach. We examine the strengths and attempt to elaborate upon them with present-day means. This results in layers of time that deny neither history nor the present. We think that's a sustainable approach.

Day six with my round at Royal Dornoch GC and my short walk around Tain GC later in the afternoon was spectacular.
But on day seven the level still remained high! I woke up early at my cozy little B&B called "The Granny Flat" at St. Mary's but was a little bit upset because heavy rain lashed against the window.
Well, it wouldn't be me if I did mind!!
So I jumped into the car and headed over to one of the oldest courses I have ever played. Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club was founded in 1793 and is the 15th oldest recorded club in the world. From Inverness it's just a 20 minutes drive to this nice quirky links course. The golf god was on my side because the rain stopped and the sun came out when I arrived at the course.
Stunning beside that, is the fact that Fortrose and Rosemarkie is the this years host of the Scottish Boys under-16s Open Championship 2018 which brings together talents from all over Europe. The links is nicely situated on a narrow headland so almost every hole runs along the water. My high expectations have been fulfilled already after the first two holes.
But for me the most significant part of Fortrose and Rosemarkie are No. 4 and No. 5 next to the lighthouse. If you're lucky you can see dolphins dancing around the waves from the tee box of No. 5. On a perfect day, this short par 3 provides good birdie chances.
Not to forget No. 4 a long and spectacular narrow par 5. First you have to place your drive on the fairway. If you're to long you'll end up in the rough. The "lighthouse" requires quite some course management because of the rough edge which cuts the fairway into two pieces.
But if you're successful wit your lay-up shot you will be rewarded with a beautiful approach shot straight in the direction of the lighthouse. Stay focused, this awesome setting shouldn't overcome your next shot. The green is small and narrow and well defended by a green bunker to the left of the green. Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club is really a fine world class track and embraces everything a links needs. Small and round pot bunkers, wind and the typical bouncy hard turfy fairways.
The last really adorable hole is No. 18 called "Fiery Hillock" a long finishing par 3 with 211 yards from the white tees. The cool thing is that the tee boxes are decorated with the founding year made out of white stones. Well, I was to attracted and hit my first ball left into the garden of the house next to the course.
Finally I walked off with a double bogey. In summary Fortrose and Rosemarkie is one of the must play gems in Scotland's north and it's along with other courses such as Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart Golf Links and Nairn. (just to quote a few examples) So don't miss it on your next Scotland golf trip!

Catholics honor the priests killed at Dachau, remember 75th liberation anniversary
National pilgrimage of the Polish clergy to Dachau on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the camp in 2015. | EpiskopatNews
CNA Staff, Apr 29, 2020 / 09:55 am
When the U.S. Army arrived at Dachau concentration camp 75 years ago, on April 29, 1945, the clergy held captive there regarded it as a miracle.
A week earlier, on April 22, the priests and monks of Dachau had consecrated themselves to St. Joseph, fearing that the guards were planning to murder them before fleeing the advancing Allies. If they were spared, they promised they would make an annual pilgrimage to St. Joseph's Shrine in Kalisz, central Poland.
In fact, they were going to be executed. But two hours before they were due to be killed at the camp -- once described as "the largest priest cemetery in the world" -- a small U.S. Army patrol unit arrived and saved them.
That is the story told by Bishop Edward Janiak of Kalisz in a message marking the Day of Martyrdom of the Polish Clergy, which commemorates the hundreds of priests and religious killed at Dachau and elsewhere. It is observed April 29.
"As it happened unexpectedly, two hours before the liquidation of the camp and several hours before the attack on KL [Konzentrationslager, or concentration camp] Dachau planned by the American command, the fact of the earlier liberation of the camp was considered by the prisoners as a special grace received from God through the intercession of St. Joseph of Kalisz," Bishop Janiak wrote in the message dated April 20.
Among the camp's liberators was Leonard Bachmann, an 18-year-old mortarman from St. Paul-Minneapolis. Moved by the suffering he witnessed, the Bronze Star recipient entered the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity in 1948 and was ordained a priest. He served as pastor of parishes in Colonial Beach and Kilmarnock, Va., and director of a shrine in Stirling, N.J, dying in 2000.
The Nazis established Dachau, near Munich in southern Germany, as their first concentration camp in 1933. Over the next 12 years, 2,794 Catholic clergy were sent there, the majority from Poland. They were housed with a smaller number of Protestant, Greek Orthodox, Old Catholic, Mariavite and Muslim clerics in a section known as the Priest Barracks.
Notable prisoners included the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller, who survived the camp, Dutch Carmelite Titus Brandsma, who died of a lethal injection in 1942, and the Italian Dominican priest Blessed Giuseppe Girotti, who died shortly before the camp's liberation in 1945, probably also by lethal injection.
Also among the prisoners was Fr. Engelmar Unzeitig, a priest with Czech roots dubbed the "Angel of Dachau" because of his ministry to fellow prisoners. He volunteered to care for the sick in the typhoid barracks, bathing them, praying with them and offering them last rites. He succumbed to typhoid fever on March 2, 1945. Pope Francis officially recognized him as a martyr in 2016.
Only 818 of the 1,773 Polish clergy sent to Dachau survived until the camp's liberation. Many were subjected to medical experiments, being exposed to malaria or given infections. Among the victims was Kazimierz Majdański, who survived to become the post-war archbishop of Szczecin-Kamień.
When Pope John Paul II beatified 108 Polish martyrs of World War II in 1999, there were 43 Dachau inmates among them.
One of them was Blessed Franciszek Drzewiecki, an Orionine Father, who refused to be exempted from hard labor at Dachau. While he tilled the soil, suffering from frostbite and malnutrition, he secretly adored consecrated hosts that he kept with him in a small box. When he was sent away to be gassed in 1942, he said to his companions: "We offer our life for God, for the Church and for our country."
One in five of Poland's diocesan priests died in the Second World War, according to Fr. Paweł Rytel-Andrianik, spokesman for the Polish bishops' conference. The Nazis killed an estimated 2,000 diocesan priests, 370 friars, and 280 nuns. In addition, about 4,000 priests and monks, and more than a thousand nuns were sent to camps.
"There were dioceses such as Włocławek, Gniezno, and Chełmno, where almost every second priest was murdered," Fr. Rytel-Andrianik said.
"Four Polish bishops were also killed in the camps, and nearly half of the Roman Catholic dioceses were deprived of the bishops who were at the head. Consequently, it can be said that it was not only a war against the Polish state and the Polish people, but also against the Catholic Church."
After the war, the clergy who survived Dachau fulfilled their vow, making a pilgrimage to Kalisz every year on April 29. In 1970, they founded a Chapel of Martyrdom and Gratitude in the crypt of St. Joseph's Shrine. At the chapel entrance, there is a representation of a barbed wire fence and a plaque thanking St. Joseph "for liberation from the abyss of death."
Poland's bishops established April 29 as the Day of Martyrdom of the Polish Clergy in 2002 as a way of continuing the survivors' annual act of thanksgiving. Fr. Leon Stepniak, the last surviving Polish priest imprisoned at Dachau, died in 2013.
Mass was celebrated in the Chapel of Martyrdom and Gratitude at noon local time April 29, marking both the 75th anniversary of Dachau's liberation and the 50th anniversary of the chapel's foundation.
In the decades following the war, the Polish and German bishops emphasized healing and forgiveness. In 1965, Poland's bishops sent a historic pastoral letter to their German counterparts calling for reconciliation between Poles and Germans. The letter was strongly supported by Karol Wojtyła, then archbishop of Kraków and the future Pope John Paul II.
Celebrating Mass at Dachau in 1995, German Cardinal Friedrich Wetter said: "Even when we see no grave around us, we are standing on the largest priest cemetery in the world."
He paid tribute to Polish clergy killed in the camp, saying that "Poles made the biggest sacrifice."
Germany's bishops issued a 23-page document April 29, examining their predecessors' actions during the war. They argued the wartime German bishops were complicit in the conflict because "they did not offer a clear 'no' to the war."
In a statement April 29 marking the 75th anniversary of Dachau's liberation and the Day of Martyrdom of the Polish Clergy, Archbishop Stanisław Gądecki called for prayers for those who had experienced suffering.
"May it be an expression of our memory, honor and solidarity towards the martyrs and a prayer to God for peace and reconciliation for all," the president of the Polish bishops' conference said.
This article has been corrected to reflect the fact that Fr. Leon Stepniak was not the last surviving Dachau prisoner, but rather the last surviving Polish priest imprisoned in the camp. The last surviving priest was the German Fr. Hermann Scheipers, who died in 2016.

Small room with high ceiling. I wanted to create a girlie room hat would be appropriate from birth to 7. I decided to go with creating a large tree mural with flowers and blue birds. On the opposing two walls I created a flower stencil which I patterned down the walls.
The tree mural which I drew freehand and painted myself.
To create a stencil, buy double matt mylar paper from the art supply store in your area. Draw image and cut out using an exacto blade.
It is room like this one that makes me keep coming back to Project Nursery every single day! I so adore this fab room!
Pink AND violet. My sister would kill to have this room! I am not a fan of the big tree mural though.
I think painting the tree like that gives the room a bigger look. Great work on that one.

Today is a rest day at the Giro d'Italia. And the other stage races we were tracking, the Tour of California, Tour de Picardie and the Bayern Rundfahrt, all finished Sunday.
The Tour of Norway (HC) begins Wednesday, the 20th. We've never reported it in depth before, but we will post complete results for each stage.
With all that racing Sunday, there were lots of team reports.
Tinkoff-Saxo's team leader Peter Sagan secures overall victory at Amgen Tour of California after a sprint finale worth a Hollywood drama. Finishing third by a few millimeters was enough to secure the bonus seconds needed to regain the top spot. "At first I didn't believe it", says Peter Sagan, who takes the biggest GC-win of his career.
Before the stage, Peter Sagan had to finish at least 3rd and ahead of leader Julian Alaphilippe to surpass him in the GC. Equally Sagan had to try to make up time in the intermediate sprints and avoid losing seconds to Alaphilippe. Five meters before the finish line he was 4th, but throwing his bike forward in the last moment, he gained the millimeters on sprinter Tyler Farrar needed to conquer the sunshine state.
"I'm very happy, and I want to pay a big thanks to all my teammates for doing an incredible job. We lost two riders on the third stage, as Michael Kolar had allergy while Maciej Bodnar suffered a bad crash. I'm very happy and relieved as it was so close right until the end. I never would have thought that I could have won the GC, when I started the race so it's also a surprise for me", says Peter Sagan and adds about the minutes just after the finale of stage 8: "After the finish I didn't know if I was third or fourth and I had to wait. My soigneur came running to me and yelled "you're third, you're third" and I asked him several times, if he was sure and then the race organizers confirmed it to me three times and in the end I believed them. I am very pleased", says Peter Sagan.
The race finale was affected by multiple attacks and a dedicated effort from Etixx-Quickstep to secure Alaphilippe's position. After having received the yellow jersey on the final podium of Amgen Tour of California 2015, Sagan adds that the finale was all or nothing.
"I didn't have any further strategy in the final sprint, and I just had to go for it, it's not just Tinkoff-Saxo and Etixx-Quikstep as there were many others trying to get a result and we had to pay attention to many factors and teams today in order for us to secure this win".
Asked about his overall experience at Tour of California, Sagan notes that it required a consistent effort all the way, while the queen stage to Mt. Baldy was in a category of its own.
"All the stages have been incredible and especially yesterday on the queen stage to Mt. Baldy, where I must admit that I felt really good and had to dig really deep. For me the last kilometers yesterday on Baldy were so hard, my legs were burning but I had to continue on the climb, as I knew that it was still within reach of Alaphilippe", explains Sagan before adding: "I believed that I could do it. I don't know if it was the hardest effort that I've ever done, but it was tough. It was just 129k, while the Classics for instance are much longer and drain your energy slowly. But yes, yesterday I was in pain almost throwing up. But now everything is OK", finishes the winner of Tour of California with a big smile.
Pasadena, California - BMC Racing Team's Daniel Oss secured the first "king of the mountains" title of his career Sunday as the 10th edition of the Amgen Tour of California concluded in Pasadena.
Oss donned the special polka dot classification jersey to the cheers of the crowd in the BMC Racing Team's home state. He first put himself in position to contend for the title by being part of breakaways on Stages 2 and 3 - the second of which earned him the Amgen Breakaway from Cancer Most Courageous jersey. He then took the lead on the penultimate stage of the eight-day race by earning points on the first two categorized climbs on Saturday.
"This was strange for me because I was always in the breakaways, accumulating points," Oss said. "But I am not a climber. I weigh 80 kilos. But I was looking for this jersey after the first breakaway and getting some points. I said, 'this is something we have to do,' so we went after it."
Oss said he started the race unsure of his form after going nearly a month between events. "I didn't know what I could do," he said. "This was my first race after the classics season. I felt fresh and I felt good and I was just looking to see what I could do to build my shape up for the second part of the season."
In the overall standings, Ben Hermans was the BMC Racing Team's best finisher in 12th place. He was 2:21 behind Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo), who used a time bonus for his third-place finish on the last stage to overtake Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx-Quick Step) and win the race by three seconds. Alaphilippe's teammate, Mark Cavendish, took his fourth victory of the week by out-sprinting Wouter Wippert (Drapac Pro Cycling) and Sagan at the end of the 105.2-kilometer circuit race around the Rose Bowl Stadium.
Oss is the second rider from the BMC Racing Team to win the king of the mountains crown at the Amgen Tour of California, joining Scott Nydam, who did it in 2008.
Tinkoff-Saxo deflected an array of attacks from its rival teams, while Alberto Contador himself responded to accelerations from Fabio Aru in the race finale. Consequently, Tinkoff-Saxo will spend the rest day still in the lead, while Alberto Contador notes that he already today felt progress with his injured shoulder and knee.
Finishing in a select group of favorites with Aru, Landa and Porte behind stage winner Paolo Tiralongo, Alberto Contador comments that he was happy with his sensations on the "unusual stage".
"For me, it was one of the most unusual stages I have ever experienced. I don't know how much everybody saw on TV but it was incredible throughout the stage. In the finale, I followed the attack from Aru and we agreed to work together. Aru took one second on me in the sprint, but it's one second in a long Giro so it doesn't worry me. The important thing is that I felt better today with my shoulder and knee, which I also hurt in the crash", says Alberto Contador and adds about the work done to control the race.
The start of the 224km stage 9 to San Giorgio del Sannio was carried out at a roaring pace with high intensity that affected the entire stage, according to Tinkoff-Saxo's sports director Steven de Jongh.
After another day of laborious effort, Tinkoff-Saxo's Chris Juul-Jensen welcomes the rest day. "Today, it all started in a blazing tempo, where we rode at rocket speed to keep everything together. In the first 60k, it was especially tough, as we had attack after attack from Astana. Of course it took its toll but it's the same for everybody, only difference is that we have to do it from the front and in the wind. But that's how it is when you are in the leader's jersey and it's of course not easier when you have a stage profile like this. I must say that the rest day is very welcome", concludes Chris Juul-Jensen.
Steven Kruijswijk showed his courage another time in the Italian mountains after his brave performance on Saturday. The leader of Team LottoNL-Jumbo ignored the pain in his legs to chase Paolo Tiralongo (Astana) for second place in San Giorgio del Sannio.
Kruijswijk will be able to recover from his hard weekend on Monday. "The rest day is welcome for us," Boven added. "It's been a very tough first week. I haven't seen that often in a grand tour.
Kris Boeckmans has won the last stage of the Tour de Picardie and is the overall winner. The 28-year-old rider already won the opening stage on Friday, when teammate Jasper De Buyst was second, and yesterday Kris was second behind Andrea Guardini.
After seventy kilometres a front group of four was formed. The last of the escapees was caught at four kilometres from the finish line. Lotto Soudal had controlled the peloton all day long. In the streets of Mers-Les-Bains the third bunch sprint in this race took place. Kris Boeckmans was the fastest. He beat Andrea Guardini and Bryan Coquard. In the overall classification Boeckmans is ten seconds ahead of Guardini.
Following a third place in the opening stage on Wednesday, a win in Thursday's stage and a seventh place on stage 3, Degenkolb was the fastest in the bunch sprint in Nuremberg today. After another superb lead-out by the team, Degenkolb laid down a strong sprint to take the win at the final stage of the German stage race.
In addition to his two stage wins, Degenkolb also takes home the blue sprinters jersey.
John Degenkolb: "It was a perfect day, everything went according to plan and I am very happy with this victory. The finale was hectic but the team did well. We stayed together and they guys laid down another good lead-out for me. From 200 meters I started the sprint and won.
Christian Guiberteau: "It was a perfect day. To finish the Bayern Rundfahrt like this is really great. All day the race leader's team controlled the breakaway and we could save energy in the bunch.
"While heading to the local circuits, together with other the sprinters' teams, we took over and cooperated on controlling the bunch to avoid late attacks in the finale. The local circuits included a small hill which was difficult for a lot of riders since it is the fifth day of racing here in Bayern. After another great job by the team with a very good lead-out. John did a fantastic job to win the stage."
On today's 197 kilometer long fifth and final stage of Bayern Rundfahrt, Cult Energy Pro Cycling's Christian Mager participated in the long-lasting breakaway consisting of six riders but managed to go solo on the final 20 kilometers. Eventually the stage was concluded in a bunch where teammate and 20-year-old Michael Carbel finished 5th.
After only 6 kilometers of racing leaving Hassfurt behind, the escapees managed to sail away from the bunch to sweep up all bonus seconds on the course. In the peloton, the leading team of Movistar took charge of the pace-making along with some of the sprinter teams as yet another bunch sprint was expected in Nürnberg this afternoon.
Going under the 20 kilometer banner, Cult Energy's Christian Mager launched a solo attack and prolonged his position in the front of the race. However, the stage was concluded in a hectic bunch sprint where Cult Energy Pro Cycling Dane, Michael Carbel finished 5th.
Michael Carbel reports: "Entering the finale, Rasmus Quaade worked hard to keep me on the front and when things got more hectic, Alex Kirsch and Linus were there to guide and protect me to the finish line where I managed to come in fifth. The finish line was pretty straight forward compared to the other lumpy finals in this race but this was a perfect match. I haven't been racing for almost a month so it's great to be back like this and feel that I have the power to compete. Now, I'm looking that much more forward to the next challenges," concludes Michael Carbel.
DS, Luke Roberts says: "The stage turned out pretty well for us. Christian simply couldn't resist the urge to attack and he went on a climb in the beginning of the stage to spend most of the day in the break. Entering the finale, the boys did a perfect job setting up Michael for the bunch sprint and he put a good result in the pocket sprinting across the line in fifth position. A demonstration from Michael showing that he's strong enough to compete with the best out there and considering the fact that he's only 20 years old, I reckon that with some more experience he'll be on the top step of the podium eventually," says Luke Roberts.


Food mashups are always fun – but what is the pegan diet? Welp, it combines paleo with the vegan diet. And according to Dr. Mark Hyman, a famous bestselling author – that makes you a pegan! Certified health coach Lindsay Hunt dishes some details of the diet and shares three delicious pegan diet recipes.
If you've been asking yourself what is the pegan diet?, we've got you covered! Its creator Dr. Mark Hyman says the pegan diet combines the benefits of protein and good fats from paleo with vitamins and minerals from eating vegan.
To get your protein and nutrients, start with a veggie-loaded breakfast frittata. Lindsey diced an assortment of veggies like red onion, broccoli and bell peppers. She mixes in spinach and sautés it for a few minutes. Then scramble some eggs and pour it over the veggies and let it cook for a few minutes. After sprinkling in some sheep feta cheese, pop the pan in an oven set to broil for a few minutes, then serve. This is one of those pegan diet recipes that'll help leave you satiated all day!
In a 10-in. ovenproof skillet, sauté veggies in 2 tbsp of oil until the vegetables are tender.
In a bowl, beat eggs, salt and pepper; pour over vegetables.
Cover and cook for 7-8 minutes or until eggs are nearly set.
Broil 6 in. from the heat for 2 minutes or until eggs are set on top. Cut into wedges.
Next on our list our list of pegan diet recipes is one that's perfect for lunch or dinner: Greek roasted veggies over cauliflower rice. What makes this dish paleo is that the veggies serve as a swap for the grains. Chop your veggies and drizzle avocado oil on top with sea salt and pepper. Mix well and toss 'em in the oven. Then prep the cauliflower rice in instant pot. Spoon the rice into a bowl and cover with the veggies.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread diced veggies across it in one single layer.
Toss with extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until veggies are soft and start to blister.
Whip out your Instapot, put your riced cauliflower in the pressure cooker, add 1 cup water or broth and stir. Add in seasonings. After stirring, secure the lid. Press manual. The pressure level should default to high pressure, but double check to make sure. Set it to cook for one minute. Once done cooking, quick release to let out the pressure. Fluff with a fork.
Place cauliflower rice in a bowl and mix in fresh dill. Layer roasted veggies on top. Top with a delicious scoop of hummus!
Our last of pegan diet recipes – cacao superfood chia pudding. Lindsay says chia seeds are high in protein and fiber, making them great for the vegan diet to get their protein. Plus, the raw cacao powder and cacao nibs contain 40 times the antioxidants compared to blueberries. Mix your chia seeds and cacao powder with macadamia nut milk, then put it in the fridge for four hours. Before you serve it, sprinkle the pudding with cacao nibs and coconut flakes.
Add all of the ingredients to a large glass jar with a cover, give it a quick stir, then put the lid on.
Refrigerate until very thick and pudding-like, at least 4 hours or overnight, stir a few times.
Serve chilled and top with cacao nibs and unsweetened coconut flakes.
If you've been wondering what is the pegan diet, now you've three tasty pegan diet recipes to incorporate into your diet.

Is NN (NASDAQ:NNBR) Using Too Much Debt?
Simply Wall St
January 10, 2021 • Updated January 27, 2023
Legendary fund manager Li Lu (who Charlie Munger backed) once said, 'The biggest investment risk is not the volatility of prices, but whether you will suffer a permanent loss of capital.' So it might be obvious that you need to consider debt, when you think about how risky any given stock is, because too much debt can sink a company. We can see that NN, Inc. (NASDAQ:NNBR) does use debt in its business. But the more important question is: how much risk is that debt creating?
What Risk Does Debt Bring?
Debt and other liabilities become risky for a business when it cannot easily fulfill those obligations, either with free cash flow or by raising capital at an attractive price. In the worst case scenario, a company can go bankrupt if it cannot pay its creditors. However, a more common (but still painful) scenario is that it has to raise new equity capital at a low price, thus permanently diluting shareholders. By replacing dilution, though, debt can be an extremely good tool for businesses that need capital to invest in growth at high rates of return. The first step when considering a company's debt levels is to consider its cash and debt together.
Check out our latest analysis for NN
What Is NN's Net Debt?
As you can see below, NN had US$850.4m of debt, at September 2020, which is about the same as the year before. You can click the chart for greater detail. However, it does have US$56.1m in cash offsetting this, leading to net debt of about US$794.2m.
NasdaqGS:NNBR Debt to Equity History January 11th 2021
How Healthy Is NN's Balance Sheet?
According to the last reported balance sheet, NN had liabilities of US$927.2m due within 12 months, and liabilities of US$199.3m due beyond 12 months. On the other hand, it had cash of US$56.1m and US$101.1m worth of receivables due within a year. So its liabilities outweigh the sum of its cash and (near-term) receivables by US$969.3m.
This deficit casts a shadow over the US$273.0m company, like a colossus towering over mere mortals. So we definitely think shareholders need to watch this one closely. After all, NN would likely require a major re-capitalisation if it had to pay its creditors today.
We measure a company's debt load relative to its earnings power by looking at its net debt divided by its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and by calculating how easily its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) cover its interest expense (interest cover). The advantage of this approach is that we take into account both the absolute quantum of debt (with net debt to EBITDA) and the actual interest expenses associated with that debt (with its interest cover ratio).
Weak interest cover of 0.035 times and a disturbingly high net debt to EBITDA ratio of 8.4 hit our confidence in NN like a one-two punch to the gut. The debt burden here is substantial. However, the silver lining was that NN achieved a positive EBIT of US$2.3m in the last twelve months, an improvement on the prior year's loss. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But ultimately the future profitability of the business will decide if NN can strengthen its balance sheet over time. So if you want to see what the professionals think, you might find this free report on analyst profit forecasts to be interesting.
But our final consideration is also important, because a company cannot pay debt with paper profits; it needs cold hard cash. So it's worth checking how much of the earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is backed by free cash flow. In the last year, NN's free cash flow amounted to 50% of its EBIT, less than we'd expect. That weak cash conversion makes it more difficult to handle indebtedness.
On the face of it, NN's interest cover left us tentative about the stock, and its level of total liabilities was no more enticing than the one empty restaurant on the busiest night of the year. Having said that, its ability to convert EBIT to free cash flow isn't such a worry. We're quite clear that we consider NN to be really rather risky, as a result of its balance sheet health. For this reason we're pretty cautious about the stock, and we think shareholders should keep a close eye on its liquidity. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But ultimately, every company can contain risks that exist outside of the balance sheet. Take risks, for example - NN has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.

According to a 2011 AIIM survey, organizations are experiencing a 23% yearly growth in electronic records. This rapid growth presents a challenge to organizations that must comply with records management regulations while ensuring that the right people are accessing the right information.
To address this challenge, many organizations are looking to Microsoft SharePoint. With its powerful record-keeping capabilities, organizations can now manage their records using the same platform as they use for everyday collaboration and document management.
Records Management is one of the most popular drivers for using Microsoft SharePoint. Despite how much has been written on this, Records Management is sometimes confused with Document or Content Management, but it is in fact quite a unique discipline with its own best practices and processes. Microsoft SharePoint provides some great features to enable these processes, and it provides enterprises with the appropriate controls for the data and documents that they declare to be corporate records.
A record refers to a document or some other piece of data in an enterprise (electronic or physical) that provides evidence of a transaction or activity taking place, or some corporate decision that was made. A record requires that it be retained by the organization for some period of time. This is often a legal or regulatory compliance requirement. As well, a record by definition must be immutable, which means that once a document or piece of data is declared to be a record, it must remain unchanged.
The period for which records are retained, along with the process followed once that time period has expired, is a critical requirement for records management. There are legal and business implications to consider when content is kept too long. The business policy could be that after X years, a record is archived and then after Y years from that point it is disposed (which could include deletion or moving it to offline long-term storage). Again, establishing this policy requires planning and getting agreement from stakeholders, especially around any legal, regulatory compliance, revenue or tax implications.
The requirements for records immediately suggest certain processes that must be in place to ensure that records are managed appropriately from several perspectives: business, auditing/legal, tax, revenue, and even business continuity. As we often find, for business processes to be applied consistently across all SharePoint content or records, automation is a key requirement, as well as making appropriate use of metadata.
It is important to determine what type of content should be considered a record. For example, if I am working on a new HR policy for next year, my initial draft and its various iterations should likely not be considered records because they are still changing – they are not yet approved or final, nor can I make any decisions based on those preliminary versions. But once my HR plan is 'approved' or considered 'final' then it can be declared a record because I can now base corporate decisions on it. Establishing a policy around what type of data is a record requires planning, meeting with appropriate stakeholders and agreeing on policy that's communicated to everyone that may be declaring content as a record.
Once the organization has defined what information it wants to preserve as records, SharePoint 2010 provides several methods to declare a record and implement record retention policies. These include the Records Center site, which is a SharePoint site dedicated to centrally storing and managing records. It provides many features that are critical to implementing a records management system, including a dashboard view at the site level for Records Managers with searching capabilities and integration with the Content Organizer for routing records within the site. Depending on the business need, it may make sense to centralize records management and storage in the Records Center. This is particularly true if the business demands that a small number of users be considered "Record Managers" and it is their role alone to declare content as records.
A second method involves declaring records "in-place".This feature allows individual users to declare content as records in their current SharePoint location. Records do not need to be moved or added to a central Records Center site, nor do they need to be routed within the Records Center. This is a trend in the records management space, because it allows users to continue to find content where it resides, based on its business nature, topic or properties. One drawback of this approach is that end users – who are typically not records managers – may be apprehensive about declaring records, due to the official and legal nature of a record.
The powerful recordkeeping capabilities in SharePoint give organizations an effective enterprise records management system. SharePoint contains valuable features that can be used to define the appropriate records and retention policies for the business.
