Notes from The Commish 2017- Week 7
Posted on October 28, 2017 by rfunkad in Cup o' Joe // 0 Comments
"Your team," Carol texted me (and I could easily imagine her gritting her teeth as she did so), "Is not that good."
And the funny part is: I agree with her. Yes, I understand Carol was bitter because I managed to beat her with a lineup that had more zeroes than my uncle Gordie's circle of friends and now our records are exactly inverted (6-1 to 1-6). But again, that doesn't mean her assessment of this team is wrong. Every fantasy league in the world, during every fantasy season ever played, has that one team that manages to win nearly every game and despite the rest of the league examining this team's lineup more closely than the da Vinci Code, nobody can figure out how the hell they're doing it. I'm no exception. And while I've managed to pull out garbage victories the last two weeks, the team was actually pretty damn good the previous four weeks. It was consistently one of the highest scoring teams in the league. And while the team had Aaron Rodgers until last week, it still doesn't explain how a lineup that involves Melvin Gordon, Frank Gore, Larry Fitzgerald, Doug Baldwin and a Pu-Pu Platter at 3rd WR could produce this many points and this many wins. You'd think the team was doomed with Kirk Cousins coming in for Rodgers, but hell, Cousins is the reason the team won this week. I'm used to seeing the Inexplicable Winner in every league. But it's never been MY team.
And if you think I wrote all that in the hope the Fantasy Gods will not cruelly drop the hammer on my team, well, let's just drop the whole subject. It's giving me the willies.
FANTASY PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Ezekiel Elliott
As covered in some detail here, the Cowboys RB's legal team pulled that ol' Houdini, keeping Elliott on the field until his absence can fully destroy the Cowboys' season. This week, Elliott and his team had the NFL equivalent of a spa treatment when they went up against the San Francisco 49ers (it's what NFL teams do when they need to get healthy.) Elliott responded by scoring three TDs, getting over 200 yards total offense, punching out a cop, breaking out of Alcatraz, standing on a mountaintop, chopping it down with his hand, kicking a grizzly bear in the nuts, giving the entire WWE locker room a viral infection, impregnating half the countryside, winning the Chicago marathon and wiping his ass with the American flag…none of which he'll be suspended for.
FANTASY OWNER OF THE WEEK: Stoner
Long time readers (or really even short time readers) will realize that I frequently break my own rules for some of these awards. Fantasy Owner of the Week, for example, is supposed to go to the owner who makes a canny move (or moves) that bring them a victory they almost-certainly would not have had otherwise. Stoner didn't do much other than leave in Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper (and actually, he could have left both of them out and STILL beaten Chuck) but his total of 76 points meant he outscored two entire GAMES this week. You've got to tip your hat to that in some way.
DUMBASS OWNER OF THE WEEK: None
On the flip side, I'm actually going to follow the rules in this category. Are there a lot of incompetent lineups clogging the standings like a turd in the league water pipe? Absolutely. Are there an abundance of teams that are "fantasy" lineups in name only? You betcha. Is this, by far, the worst season in this league's history, the 70-degree-day-in-February-climate-change-denying-winter-of-discontent? Oh, completely. But nobody was really a dumbass. (I'm sure they'll be grateful to know that.)
ASSCLOWN OF THE WEEK: Marshawn Lynch
Beast Mode made his mark in Oakland this past week, when he left the bench to participate in a brawl between the Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs. During this altercation, Lynch put his hands on an official, getting him immediately thrown out of the game. What's more fun, Lynch was defending his cousin, Marcus Peters…who happens to play for the Chiefs. So he left the bench, got thrown out and suspended for one game…in the effort to beat up his own teammates. As awkward moments go, it's on the level of George Costanza knocking over children and elderly ladies to avoid a fire. It's a little hard to pretend THAT didn't happen. Nothing like coming out of retirement, joining a new team and giving them the absolute, unqualified impression that "Marshawn will…beat the s**t out of us under the right circumstances." Good luck with that, Jack Del Rio.
Dishonorable Mention: Ike Taylor
The NFL Network talking head defended Lynch's actions and said, "Even though he got suspended, it showed me growth. He's trying to be the mediator." When asked how leaving the bench to attack his teammates and an official represented growth, Taylor said, "When you're in the heat of the moment, you're not thinking" and then "You get paid a lot of money to play football. You don't get paid a lot of money to think." The idiocy in those statements doesn't need comment from me, but the whole exchange is symptomatic of how we argue these days. When you say something stupid, you don't walk it back or admit that you chose your words poorly. You double-down on the original argument and dare someone to outlast you in the ensuing debate. It's a rhetorical "I'll see you in Hell!" One thing that seems fairly clear: Ike Taylor isn't paid to think, either.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Sam Farmer
Okay, it's actually tweet, but I liked it so much, I couldn't resist. From the L.A. Times reporter: "LA's NFL attendance issues will be solved once there's a new stadium = My wife and I will stop bickering once we have kids."
YOUR MOMENT OF ZEN: The NFL in London
While the U.S. and the U.K. frequently tout their Special Relationship (not that there's anything wrong with that), it's a bit lopsided. While the U.S. did the Brits the favor of taking us off their hands and later bailing them out of two different world wars, the Brits have repaid this by burning down the White House and providing pictures of Winston Churchill's dong.
(Yes, I know the Brits have provided The Beatles, Harry Potter and everyone playing an American in a Christopher Nolan film, but…you're still fixated on Churchill's dong, aren't you? Okay, I'm moving on.)
At any rate, the NFL has been sending games over to London for the last several years and they've generally drawn large crowds due to the novelty of American football and blissful ignorance of the fact that most of the teams they're watching absolutely suck. And since the NFL has never met a crappy idea that it won't completely embrace, the notion of putting a whole NFL franchise in London is high on the league's "to-do" list (right behind an 18 game schedule and shock collars that force players to stand for the national anthem.) This is one of those ideas that looks like complete idiocy on paper, but is nearly unworkable in practice. Why don't we count the ways?
Let's start with interest level. Anyone remember NFL Europa? Of NFL Europe? Or the World League of American Football? Put your hands down, monkeys, they're all the same thing and you don't remember any of them, really. The league existed in one form or another for the better part of 15 years. Games were typically played in 80,000 seat stadiums in front of about 9 semi-interested fans. By the end, the league consisted of 7 teams, 6 of them located in Germany. London's team shut down operations 10 years before the league ended. The Scottish team wandered off into the fog one night and was never heard from again (but they say when the moon is full, you can still hear them calling audibles across the loch.) Yes, you can argue that European fans knew they were not getting top of the line players, making NFL Europe the equivalent of Major League Soccer over here. But MLS has not only survived, it's thrived for 10 years longer than NFL Europe. And when the NFL, the sporting equivalent of the U.S. Mint, decides they're not going to throw money at something, you know it's a bust. So while 70, 000 to 80,000 fans showing up to watch the Cleveland Browns might look impressive, there's still not enough evidence of a groundswell for this sort of thing.
And what would London get out of it, anyway? It's not as if they NEED an NFL team over there. Whenever there's a risk that the Vikings will move, we're reminded what a Podunk hillbilly hell this place would be without an NFL franchise. It's not as if London has the same worry. They've hosted the Olympics. The country as a whole hosts the most prosperous, most prestigious futbol league in the world. To be clear, the NFL feels it needs London. London does not need the NFL. I don't think hosting 8 NFL games a year is going to make a big economic impact on London. And I'm sure they're THRILLED with the idea of 20,000 Pittsburgh Steelers fans descending on Piccadilly Circus. It's like getting an ugly sweater from your aunt Marge for Christmas and she's there to watch you open the damn thing. "Oh, that's….great. Thanks."
And there's the issue of how the players would feel about this (although the owners generally treat the players like an afterthought when deciding league matters.) This past Sunday, for example, the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams flew to London. Rams RB Todd Gurley summed it up thusly: "It just doesn't make sense. We play Arizona. It's a 45-minute flight [from Los Angeles to Phoenix]. But instead we've got Arizona and us [in London]. If we were to travel all the way from LA it's 13 hours. But hey, whatever floats their boat." Now, most teams will only have to fly to England every four years or so. But London's team will have to be in SOME division, meaning at least three teams will get the privilege of making that trip ANNUALLY. And what about the guys who will be stuck playing for the London Silly Nannies? (By the way, I'm prepared to take back EVERYTHING I'm writing here if that's the actual name of the team.) Not only do they get the pleasure of being displaced to another country, but they have to fly over here at least 8 times a year. Stanford performed psychological experiments that were less cruel than that. So I'm sure this whole idea will REALLY smooth out relations between the owners and the players.
And there's the small matter of which team's actually going to play in London. I would like to think it's universally agreed that at 32 teams, the league is operating at max capacity. The schedule is nice and balanced. The last reshuffling of divisions kept traditional rivalries intact while still making geographical sense. And the talent pool is so watered down that Super Bowl winners tend to be the team that reaches farthest above mediocrity. A truly outstanding team hasn't won the Super Bowl since grunge was on its way out. And since leagues don't like odd numbers, an expansion of one franchise would likely mean a total expansion of two. The NFL does NOT need 34 teams and I think even the NFL is vaguely aware of this. So if a team's going to London, it's likely going to be an existing team that relocates.
This again, is a case of NFL over-reach. When Los Angeles was sitting out there, it was the whuppin' stick the league would use to bully mayors, city councils, governors, state legislatures, His Holiness, what have you, into playing ball on a new stadium. Now that L.A.'s cup runneth over, the league will probably not have the same success using London in this manner. "What's that? If we don't give you a stadium, you're going to move to London? With the weather and the over-crowding and the haggis and the bad teeth and the fanbase that could not give two s**ts about you? Hey, good luck with ALL that!" Teams angling for a new stadium might be lucky to still have a parking lot after employing that strategy.
But hey, unless you're holding up signs about the national anthem, the NFL isn't likely to listen to you. So assuming the league doesn't fold in the next five years, you can expect to find an NFL team playing in London. Because the Brits have given us so much, we must repay them with the gift of concussions and early onset dementia.

Children will be treated to the story of the Nutcracker during the annual "Sugar Plum Fairy Tea" in downtown Yukon.
The second Yukon Nutcracker fundraiser from is 2-3:30 p.m. this Sunday, Nov. 4 inside the First United Methodist Church at 400 Elm Street, Yukon, OK.
The church's Fellowship Hall will be decorated as the Land of the Sweets from the traditional Nutcracker ballet, which is performed each December in Yukon.
Central Oklahoma Ballet raises money for its two holiday Nutcracker performances through grants and benefits like Sunday's Sugar Plum Fairy Tea.
"Mother Ginger calls all the children up to the front and tells the story of the Nutcracker," said Central Oklahoma Ballet artistic director Debra Vossen. "We'll have performers dressed as Nutcracker characters serving cookies and tea and the children will play Nutcracker games.
Yukon storyteller Ginger LaCroix has played the role of Mother Ginger since the second year the local ballet company began presenting The Nutcracker. The scene featuring Mother Ginger and her adorable Gingerbread Cookies is a highlight of the show.
Vossen advised people to make plans now to attend because "we always sell out of tickets." Space is limited.
Tickets are $15 each. For tickets, email allie.overton@att.net .
Central Oklahoma Ballet (www.centralokballet.net) will present "The Nutcracker" at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2 at the Yukon Fine Arts Auditorium, 850 Yukon Ave.
The yuletide production features the Oklahoma Community Orchestra directed by Irv Wagner, local dancers, and national and international guest artists.
Central Oklahoma Ballet's Nutcracker is supported by the Oklahoma Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts and BancFirst.


Another day, another deadline breached as the Greek scenario plays out. The creditors for Greece have submitted a counter proposal to the Greeks through the European Union and The International Monetary Fund (IMF) that is asking for further compromise from the troubled economy. It appears that nothing will be done this week as the hard default deadline looms next Tuesday. With Greece being such a small economy, the issue is really more symbolic than fundamental to the success of the EU.
As negotiations continue, the market remains at attention with every small development. What makes this Greek scenario different than the litany of previous crisis's is the fact that the Greeks are now run be a more leftist government that has made some very significant promises of less austerity to its people in winning their trust and the seat at the head of the state just last year. The new regime may be more ready to 'dig the heels in' than previous government's which could become problematic for the negotiations as well a possibly change the outcome. Stay tuned.
Inventories in crude yesterday continued to show the larger than expected draws in with the refined products showing very modest larger builds. The inventory picture illustrated by this data paints a very different picture than it did just two months ago. Recently, the balance shifted from more crude on hand and less refined products 180 degrees to now five weeks in a row of less crude and more refined material. It would seem that the cutbacks in rigs online in the United States during the past six months are starting to have a more pronounced effect.
The crude oil options market is starting to pick up form a hedge perspective as the past week has seen some major downside protections put into place. With the recent sideways price action driving option premiums lower due to lack of volatility, the time is right for those in need of hedges against lower pricing to put those positions on at a relatively effective price. These pauses in the price action will eventually become a breakout one way or the other. Producers should be hedging (and currently seem to be) for the downside breakout while consumers should be looking to hedge against further corrections higher.
Natural gas is showing signs of life ahead of the inventory data today at 9:30 central time. With dialed down expectation of only 72 BCF, any lower reading should spark a nice rally just a day before July options expiration. This could be a very cost effective low risk way to establish a long position with cheap call premium that could be converted to a future if the forthcoming data were to support a substantially higher move.


Non experience divers? Not a problem anymore!
It was a fine Sunday morning when we went to the island as planned. Even though it's raining season, the weather was good and rain poured the moment when we were back in KK, on the same day when KK was flooded after hours of heavy rain.
The truth is we were delighted to experience the trial dive and a media day trip to the new premises "Borneo Divers Dive Academy". Though it named as Academy, however, Borneo Divers Academy also incorporating fun and leisure island trip with a variety of water sports to both local and international tourists.
After registering ourselves at Borneo Divers' reception at STAR Marina Jetty, it's time for us to depart from KK to Mamutik Island.
Mamutik Island is one of the first diving school in Sabah where diving lesson can be registered!
There were six of us went to the island and most of us knew each other, we had a lot of fun together as well!
Such a coincidence that I was watching a rescuing sea creatures clip months ago, it does made me had a thought of trying underwater diving someday, and months later? An invitation from Borneo Divers. It's really some luck I have!
Restaurants that could accommodate up to 500 diners, diving school, hostel (soon), management office and more.
There were many tourist from China and Korea when we were there, luckily they were able to queue in sequence when we were having our buffet.
It's only a hut back then. Now with a proper building that is well planned.
From the information we were made known, soon the island will be having hostel facility which ca accommodate with 80 pax for overnight stay for both diving students and guests. In fact, overnight at the island were quite expensive at other islands nearby here in Sabah. In addition, Borneo Divers also accept outdoor wedding if there's guests that planning to.
Borneo Divers had put in a lot of effort to beautify and uplift Mamutik Island. I love to be at the island, but I don't really love to be dark.
We were being guided to go their changing room to choose all the necessary item before diving.
Done with selecting our preference on size of diving suit and flips.
Although there will be Master Divers along with us, guiding and holding us along the way from beach to the sea, there will also a short briefing explaining a few sign language of divers and learn a few skill such as removing the water which leak into the photon etc.
All of us without diving experience were completely excited to be able to have a trial dive session. Pricing at RM280.00 (December 2017).
That's Joe, a friendly and knowledgeable Dive Master who guide me during the trial dive session.
I was nervous when I were at the beach trying to suit myself with the equipment and sea water. Breathing is the weird part while in fact, we need go breath normally.
Charlotte was my dive buddy, but she was worried after diving for a while and return to the island later.
Fortunately, Joe tried his best to comfort and convince me to dive further. Yes, I did. I did saw a few types of fish but when I tried to go further, my ears hurt. Why it hurt? It's because of the water pressure. *Sigh... No more diving further when my ears hurt. In such condition, it's because I am not used to be underwater, the symptoms is similar to air pressure during flight.
Anyway, I think we can go for a second trial on the same day as well. In fact, trial diving is an activity that we should not be missed!
After having a short rest, we went for another activity! Kayaking on a transparent kayak!
By the way, I have been using Viaila Cold Light Teeth Whitening Kit from KKBuy Online Store to whiten my yellowish teeth. Now my teeth is cleaner and lighten a lot! The teeth kit works in 7 days and guaranteed with good result! Moreover, its refundable if no effect after a set of treatment completed.

Google Nexus 7 Tablet Available In India At Exorbitant Price Of Rs 19,999
Jatinder Paul
The best selling Android tablet and the gadget of the year Google's Nexus 7 tablet is making debut in India today at at a price of Rs 19,999 for the 16 GB WiFi version. The tablet, that has received rave reviews, and has hit a sale of one million per month, will be available at Croma outlets across India and will also be sold by many other retailers.

But we are disappointed with the high price tag of Rs. 19,999. As blogged by us earlier, this tablet should have been priced below Rs. 15,000, keeping in view of the fact that its Dollar price is 199 and after converting in today's rate of exchange, it works out to Rs. 11,000 and after adding custom duty, the price of Rs. 15,000 look fair and attractive.

In 2011, Boris Diaw mentored a rookie a decade younger than him. Today, as opponents, they're closer than ever.
Five years after meeting as teammates in Charlotte, Bismack Biyombo and Boris Diaw have created a relationship so strong that they consider it a brotherhood and it has withstood changes of scenery that moved them hundreds of miles apart.
Biyombo had been eyeing the transition to the NBA for years. He moved from his home country of Congo to Spain to play professional basketball with the goal of making it to the world's most competitive league. At 19 years old, he entered the 2011 NBA Draft and was selected seventh overall by the Sacramento Kings. However, he was traded shortly after to the Charlotte Bobcats as part of a three-team deal, making North Carolina his new home.
There were other international players on the team. Like Biyombo, DeSagana Diop was from Africa (Senegal), Eduardo Najera was born in Mexico, and Diaw came from France. Biyombo had also grown up speaking French, among other languages, creating an instant connection with Diaw – who was then an eighth-year veteran.
Basketball was different in the NBA, though. The most immediate adjustment came off the court. Even though he could speak decent English before coming to the league, Biyombo still was trying to master the language at that point. It was easier for him to communicate with Diaw in French.
Diaw didn't have a veteran mentor during his rookie season on the Atlanta Hawks (2003-04). His closest friend on the team was fellow rookie Travis Hansen, who left to play in Europe the following year, which made him appreciate the importance of being a dependable go-to for Biyombo.
Diaw took him out to eat on a daily basis. When the team was home, Diaw invited Biyombo to his house for meals. Other times, they ate at Mortimer's – a restaurant Diaw owns in Charlotte. On the road, the veteran footed the bill when they dined out. Diaw wanted to provide a sense of family since Biyombo's parents were able to visit just once a year.
On the floor, Diaw helped Biyombo get acclimated to his new team and role. Looking back, Diaw said Biyombo was "very humble" while also being a "hard worker who knew what he wanted" as a rookie.
What Biyombo , a 6'9 power forward, wanted was to make an impact. In his first season, he averaged 5.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 23.1 minutes, yet he still encountered frustrations during that time.
Biyombo played the first four seasons of his NBA career for Charlotte. Diaw's tenure there ended earlier, as the team waived him in March of Biyombo's rookie season. He signed with the San Antonio Spurs days later.
Diaw is now in his 13th NBA season and continues to be a key reserve player on the Spurs, with whom he a championship in 2014. Biyombo is in his fifth season and his first with the Toronto Raptors, with whom he signed during the offseason. He is averaging 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and one block in 16.8 minutes for his new team.
Over the years, Biyombo continued to reach out to Diaw for veteran guidance. During the Spurs' deep playoff runs, Biyombo has even traveled to San Antonio to attend the games. Diaw hopes to visit Biyombo's basketball camp in Congo one summer. Even though they were teammates for only a brief period of time, that did not stop their friendship from growing far beyond that.

Mallory Hoff has more from the Upper East Side.
UPPER EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Authorities are investigating after a menorah was vandalized and knocked over inside an Upper East Side park on the first night of Hanukkah.
The incident was reported just after 9:30 p.m. Sunday, just hours after hundreds of people gathered in Carl Schurz Park at East 86th Street and East End Avenue to celebrate the lighting of the first light.
"Last night we gathered to kindle the menorah, bringing light to the world," said Rabbi Elie Weinstock, of Cong. Kehilath Jeshurun (KJ). "And this morning, we found that we were met by an act of darkness. But light always overcomes darkness, and tonight we plan to light the menorah again."
The organizers of the menorah lighting, Cong. Kehilath Jeshurun (KJ) and Chabad of the Upper East Side, held another lighting Monday evening at the same site. The lighting took place on the promenade at the 86th Street entrance, and Mayor Bill de Blasio was in attendance.
Officials say there were also reports that the menorah was knocked over Saturday evening as well, but without any significant damage.
The incident is being investigated as a possible bias incident by the NYPD's Hate Crimes Unit. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

MaRS responds to the Ontario Health Innovation Council (OHIC) landmark "Catalyst" report
MaRS Discovery District strongly endorses the recommendations released on December 19 by the Ontario Health Innovation Council (OHIC) landmark "Catalyst" report that tackles new health innovation strategies in the province.
The council issued six recommendations that if implemented would achieve the twin goals of promoting better access to and delivery of heath services while transforming the province into an international leader in health innovation development and adoption.
"We believe that implementing these recommendations will position Ontario as a global health innovation powerhouse, while improving citizen health, and growing Canada's new health economy," said Dr. Ilse Treurnicht, CEO of MaRS Discovery District. "The recommendations are both broad enough to cover the key levers and barriers to health innovation in Ontario, and bold enough to truly put Ontario onto a new — and much needed — trajectory of excellence."
OHIC was tasked with finding ways to leverage the province's purchasing power for the greater good of the health economy. Their recommendations include:
the establishment of an Office of the Chief Health Innovation Strategist;
the appointment of innovation brokers to connect health start-ups to resources;
the creation of a $20 million pre-market fund to put Ontario's health system to work in the evaluation of emerging "made in Ontario" health technologies;
and strategies to improve and coordinate the procurement, adoption and diffusion of these technologies across the entire health sector.
To read the full report, visit www.ohic.ca
"MaRS is looking forward to working with the new Office of the Chief Health Innovation Strategist on implementing these recommendations," said Dr. Zayna Khayat, lead of MaRS Health and director of the MaRS EXCITE program that was referenced in the OHIC report. "MaRS particularly lauds the emphasis on seeding and supporting Ontario-grown health technology innovators who struggle with getting their products to the Ontario market. MaRS' internationally recognized EXCITE (Excellence in Clinical Innovation and Technology Evaluation) program is already working to connect promising health technologies to the Ontario health system for evaluation."
It is estimated that the global market for medical devices alone will reach US $440 billion by 2018. If the health sector works collaboratively to support and validate technologies before they are marketed elsewhere, Ontario has the opportunity to become a global powerhouse in this growing field.
Dr. Treurnicht and Dr. Zayna Khayat were among several health innovation leaders that provided recommendations during the OHIC consultations.

Q: How to implement Apple Sign In (Flutter) with a REST API backend (NET CORE)? I'm trying to implement SIGN IN WITH APPLE in my application (flutter app), and I've already managed to get the Authorization Code and Identity Token, but I got stuck on it and I don't know how to proceed anymore. I have to send these codes to my server and get user data from it, right? How do I proceed here, does anyone know?
When I implemented SIGN IN WITH GOOGLE, I got a token, sent it to my server, and calling an API I can get the user data, in the case of Facebook it was the same, but in the case of Apple, what do I do with these tokens?

WhatsApp adds a colourful status feature in the latest update, is similar to the one on Facebook, where a selection of background colour options pops up when typing a new status update.
WhatsApp has rolled out a new update which lets users add a colourful background to text status. The functionality is similar to the one on Facebook, where a selection of background colour options pops up when typing a new status update.
The background can be added to text status by tapping the 'pencil' icon at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, The Independent reported on Wednesday. However, the update has not been rolled out to all users yet.
WhatsApp had recently restored the text status feature which was removed after the introduction of 'Status' similar to Facebook Stories.

The Relationship Between Physical Fitness Qualities and Sport-Specific Technical Skills in Female, Team-Based Ball Players: A Systematic Review
Jessica Farley*, Joshua Stein, Justin W L Keogh, Carl Woods, Nikki Milne
Faculty of Health Sciences & Medicine
Background: Understanding the relationships between physical fitness attributes and sport-specific technical skills may assist with the establishment of beneficial training interventions. The aim of this systematic review was to determine if physical fitness qualities were associated with performance of sport-specific technical skills in female, team-based ball players.Methods: Five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, ProQuest, and Scopus) were searched for relevant studies up to April 15, 2019. Full-text articles investigating relationships between physical fitness and sport-specific technical skills in female, team-based ball players were included. Methodological quality of included studies was appraised using a modified Downs and Black checklist. Data synthesis was conducted to determine the summary of evidence based on the number of significantly associated relationships divided by the total relationships assessed. An individual relationship was defined as a reported result examining the association between a single physical fitness variable and a single sport-specific technical skill.Results: Data synthesis of grouped female ball players from 41 included studies revealed three clear associations: (i) body composition and defensive technical skills (19/29; 66%), (ii) agility and movement with a ball (4/6; 67%), and (iii) coordination and movement with a ball (3/5; 60%). An uncertain association exists between cardiorespiratory fitness and defensive technical skills (2/5; 40%). No association or an unknown conclusion (< 5 relationships reported) exists between all remaining physical fitness attributes and sport-specific technical skills. Sub-analyses revealed clear associations between body composition and throwing/shooting (using hands) in junior ball players (15/15; 100%) and with movement with a ball in elite (6/9; 67%) and senior (6/6; 100%) ball players. Three uncertain associations were found between offensive technical skills and agility in elite ball players (3/8; 38%), and with speed in elite (6/14; 43%) and junior (7/18; 39%) female ball players.Conclusion: There is limited evidence available to demonstrate relationships between physical fitness qualities and sport-specific technical skills in female, team-based ball players. This lack of association is possibly due to reductionist methods in available literature and a lack of research in female ball players globally.Registration: CRD42017065339 (PROSPERO on 12 May 2017).Keywords: Women, Fitness attributes, Skill acquisition, Performance, Team sports

MSP warms up with visit to Cube's Gorget energy centre
AN MSP learned how Cube Housing Association tenants in Knightswood are keeping warm while saving money on fuel bills.
Bob Doris MSP, Convenor of the Scottish Parliament's Local Government and Communities Committee, visited Cube's innovative district heating energy centre in Gorget.
He also met tenants who have been benefiting from the low-carbon 'biomass' heating system since it was completed last year, with the help of £1.1 million of funding from Glasgow City Council.
The central energy plant, near Gorget Quadrant, delivers on-demand heating and hot water to 96 homes. It was delivered in partnership with British Gas.
Bob Doris MSP said: "I was interested to see how the people of Knightswood are benefitting from environmentally-friendly technology.
"Not only did the visit demonstrate Scotland's low-carbon innovations in action, but it also gave me the chance to hear from local residents on the very real improvements this has made to their lives.
"Energy efficiency schemes like this are vital to help people manage their bills whilst also cutting carbon emissions."
Cube tenant Helen Agnew, who lives in Gorget Avenue, said: "The new heating system has made a huge difference to me.
"We get heating and hot water exactly when we need it without having to worry about sky-high fuel bills, which has been brilliant over the winter."
Councillor George Redmond, Executive Member for Jobs, Business and Investment at Glasgow City Council, said: "The council was delighted to provide £1.1million funding for this innovative scheme, which both helps with heating bills and cuts emission. I congratulate everyone involved in this fantastic project."
The £1.1m funding contribution came from Glasgow City Council's allocation of the Scottish Government's Home Energy Efficiency Programme for Scotland: Area Based Schemes (HEEPS:ABS) allowing work to make homes more energy efficient.

Chemicals found in bananas are better at preventing HIV than two current synthetic anti-HIV drugs, according to new study. Your favorite oblong fruit might be even healthier than you realized. According to The Gazette (Montreal) newspaper, a new study has found that chemicals commonly found in bananas are as potent in preventing HIV as two synthetic anti-HIV drugs. Researchers say the findings could lead to a cheap new component for applied microbicides that prevent intimate transmission of HIV.
Swanson and his colleagues noted that even modest success in developing BanLec into a womanly or BehindBased microbicide could save millions of lives. In fact, 20 percent coverage with a microbicide that is only 60 percent effective against HIV may prevent up to 2.5 million HIV infections in three years. Furthermore, a BanLec ointment would be much cheaper to produce and distribute than most current anti-retroviral medications that require the production of synthetic components.

va ser una matemàtica alemanya que el 1895 es va convertir en la segona dona a obtenir el doctorat a la Universitat de Heidelberg. La primera havia estat Käthe Windscheid, que va obtenir el doctorat pel seu treball sobre poesia pastoral anglesa l'any anterior. Gernet també va ser la primera dona nativa alemanya a obtenir un doctorat en matemàtiques, anys abans que Emmy Noether.Va ser l'única alemanya entre les vuit primeres dones que va obtenir un doctorat en matemàtiques a Alemanya.

Biografia
Gernet va néixer a Ettlingen; el seu pare era cirurgià de l'exèrcit. Va obtenir un títol docent el 1883 i va continuar estudiant matemàtiques de forma privada. El 1888, la Karlsruhe Großherzogliche Technische Hochschule la va acceptar com a estudiant especial i hi va estudiar ciències fins al 1891.  En aquest any, tant ella com Ruth Gentry van sol·licitar estudis de postgrau a Heidelberg, però van ser rebutjats. La facultat de matemàtiques i ciències de la universitat va proposar un canvi de norma per permetre que les dones prenguessin programes d'estudi individuals, però el senat de la universitat va tornar a rebutjar aquest canvi.

No obstant això, el Ministeri d'Educació de Baden va anul·lar el senat i va aprovar el canvi, cosa que va permetre a Gernet estudiar a Heidelberg. Allà va realitzar investigacions sobre integrals hiperel·líptiques amb Leo Königsberger . Va suspendre el seu primer examen oral per obtenir el doctorat el novembre de 1894, però va continuar els seus estudis i va passar el segon intent el juliol de 1895.

Després de doctorar-se, Gernet va tornar a la Höhere Töchterschule de Karlsruhe , on havia estudiat de nena. Aviat es va convertir en un gimnàs i continua existint (reconstruït després de la Segona Guerra Mundial i coeducatiu des de 1973) com a Lessing-Gymnasium Karlsruhe  [ de ] . Va romandre allà com a professora i administradora acadèmica fins a la seva jubilació.

LEHIGH TOWNSHIP — Lehigh Township officials approved a budget for 2016 which reflects no tax increase for next year.
The township's current property tax rate will remain at 5.7 mills, township Manager Alice Rehrig said during the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.
The operating budget of $4.6 million represents an increase from the current amount of $4.023 million and includes about $550,000 of grant funding, she said.
Among the larger ticket items driving the budget are the replacement of two police cars for 2016, with a portion of the funds coming from money set aside for that purpose in 2015.
The board elected not to replace a pair of 2008 Ford Crown Victorias in 2015, each of which has accumulated at least 150,000 miles, but instead put aside enough to go toward the purchase of new vehicles in 2016.
The township earmarked $88,400 to cover the cost of the two new cars.
The replacement of a 2009 Crown Victoria was delayed until 2017 even though it has accumulated more than 150,000 miles because it was repaired in 2014.
The remaining vehicles in the fleet have fewer than 100,000 miles.
With the purchases, along with $4,300 for the replacement of leaky rain gutters at the police department, the total budget for Chief Scott Fogel's department was set at $1.616 million, down from $1.670 million in 2015.
Fogel said officers in his department are facing the possibility of burnout covering shifts due to shortages of staff.
He said one of his officers has been out on disability for a prolonged period and two others are out because of surgery, leaving his department down to eight officers.
As a result, his officers have been working 16 hour shifts and are beginning to feel taxed.
"So far we've been able to cover the shifts," he said.
Supervisors did not budget for additional officers in 2016.
Rehrig said purchases in the township equipment fund to cover the cost of items such as a boom mower represented large expenses as well.
The amount set aside for the fund is expected to increase each of the next few years due to changes in emission requirements. As a result, the amount in the fund is set to go from $105,000 to $120,000 in 2016.
The township also budgeted $57,600 to cover the cost of a study toward weight restrictions on select roads which are seeing increased commercial traffic due to industrial development within neighboring municipalities.
