An eye to the draft: Central Scouting releases midterm rankings
Nolan Patrick is the top-ranked North American skater according to NHL Central Scouting. (NHL.com)
By Amy Moritz
Published Wed, Jan 18, 2017 |Updated Wed, Jan 18, 2017
The Buffalo Sabres appear to be on the road to another high spot in the NHL Entry Draft.
Entering Wednesday's games, the Sabres were 27th in the league. If the draft were held today, Buffalo would pick no lower than seventh overall when the league holds its 2017 draft in the United Center in Chicago on June 23-24.
Which makes the release of Central Scouting's midterm ranking of the top North American skaters all the more interesting.
Also interesting is that center Nolan Patrick, ranked No. 1 on the midterm list, is the son of Steve Patrick, the Sabres first-round pick in 1980 and the nephew of former Sabres defenseman James Patrick.
Nolan Patrick plays for the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL and missed 35 games with an upper body injury. In eight games Patrick has six goals and 13 points. Last season he ranked fifth in the WHL with 102 points in 72 games. He then had 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 21 games to tie for the league's playoff scoring lead and was named postseason MVP.
"It definitely is a two-player field for the top," North America "ranking and Nolan Patrick was the frontrunner going into the season for the 2017 draft and remains the top candidate for NHL Central Scouting," Director of NHL Central Scouting Dan Marr said in a story on NHL.com. "It's unfortunate," Nolan "had to miss so much time but it was necessary for him to be able to return at 100 percent. He's been well known to NHL scouts for the past three years. His game continues to show he's a top prospect."
The other guy in that "two-player field" is second-ranked Nico Hischier, a center for Halifax of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He leads QMJHL rookies with 30 goals, 30 assists and 60 points in 36 games and scored four goals with seven points playing for Switzerland at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship.
"Hischier was also a known commodity coming into the season and we've been able to see the continued growth of his game and development as he transitioned into an impact player with Halifax," Marr said."He also displayed his talents on the World Junior stage."
The rest of the top five North American skaters are: center Gabriel Vilardi (17 goals, 17 assists with Windsor in the OHL), right winger Owen Tippet (34 goals, 23 assists with Mississauga in the OHL), and center Casey Mittelstadt (10 goals, 19 assists with Eden Prairie (Minn.) High School).
Teams looking for a center have some top-rated prospects with six of the top eight on the North American list playing in the middle.
Among defensemen, Juuso Valimaki (Tri-City, WHL) is the highest ranking at No. 9 followed by No. 10 Cale Makar (Brooks in the Alberta Junior Hockey League), No. 11 Nicolas Hague (Mississauga, OHL) and No. 12 Callan Foote (Kelowna, WHL).
Among North American goaltenders, Keith Petruzzelli was rated No. 1. Petruzzelli, who plays for Muskegon in the United States Hockey League, stopped all 21 shots he faced and was named MVP for Team East in the USHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on Jan. 10. He committed to Quinnipiac.
Petruzzelli "uses his size effectively, is very calm and relaxed," Al Jensen of NHL Central Scouting said. "He has shown steady improvement and has turned into an excellent NHL goalie prospect. His style resembles Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Matt Murray."
Ranked No. 2 in goal is Ian Scott (Prince Albert, WHL) with Jake Oettinger (Boston University) No. 3.
On Central Scouting's International List, Klim Kostin ranks No. 1. The 17-year old with Dynamo Moscow in the Kontinental Hockey League was a plus-1 while averaging 4:28 of ice time in eight games prior to sustaining a shoulder injury that is expected to keep him out for two months.
The rest of the international top five skaters are: center Elias Pettersson (Sweden), center Lias Andersson (Sweden), forward Kristian Vesalainen (Sweden) and center Martin Necas (Czech Republic).
The No. 1 international goaltender is Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen of HPK in Finland's junior league.

The Italian Navy Takes Delivery of the Horizon-Class Air-Defense Frigate
by Fincantieri
Today there was the ceremony at Fincantieri's Muggiano (La Spezia) shipyard to mark the handover to the Italian Navy of the frigate "Caio Duilio" which had been launched in October 2007 at Riva Trigoso.
The handover follows intensive sea trials and there will be further testing of the communication, command and control systems so that the "Caio Duilio" may become fully operational.
The key feature of the ceremony was the raising of the flag of the Italian Navy on the Duilio.
The "Caio Duilio", together with her sister ship, the Andrea Doria, which is already in service and was also built at Riva and Muggiano shipyards and delivered to the Navy in December 2007, were ordered by the Italian Navy from Fincantieri within the "Orizzonte" (Horizon) programme, which involves cooperation between Italy and France for the construction of two vessels for the fleet of each national Navy.
At 153 metres long with a beam of 20 metres, the "Caio Duilio" has a displacement at full load of 7,050 tonnes. Her maximum speed is 29 knots and the ship can accommodate a crew of 230.
This is the fourth vessel that the Italian Navy has named "Caio Duilio", in memory of the Roman consul who distinguished himself in the first Punic war when his fleet won the battle of Milazzo in 260 B.C.

"The big goal of the baker witch. The psychic claimed 165,000 euros to ex president of Castellón F.C. by a spell of love " or "Laparra arrested for robbing the house of a psychic who sold a fake love potion".
In short, the news was referring to the fact that a certain Laparra, chairman of a football club, had hired the services of a fortune teller (in other times would say "witch"), which prepared a potion for obtain the love of Sandra, with whom he was madly in love. But the potion was ineffective and the lover claimed the astronomical amount paid 165,000 euros.
The formula for the potion or "elixir" (a term also used bay newspapers) consisted of washing with water which had previously been submerged some flowers during 40 days, then the lover must collect land from a cemetery and rub his body .
The potions, elixirs or love filters exist from the remotest Antiquity. In Greek and Roman culture are ubiquitous in the mythological stories and daily life of people. Remember the "witch" Medea who attracts Jason or the sorceress Circe who turns men into pigs with his wand and retains Ulysses (Odysseus) in his palace, by referring to the Greeks.
Anyway, if anyone is curious to know more of these magical rituals can read the Epode V of Horace in which he describes a real black magic scene in which a child is killed slowly to make with his viscera a powerful love potion.
In any case is not without interest to note the persistence of these magical practices that are lost in the mists of time for millennia.
and gives what springs from the tender front of a foal.
nor Marsi spells, mixed with magical sounds.
despue ter, virgo: numero deus impare gaudet.
Either approach would have been preferable to suffer the fraud or scam of a crazy formula for a crazy purpose for which they are paid 165,000 euros.
We could end these reflections with some consideration about the terminology used in newspaper. They speak of a modern "witch" without doubt on the meaning, which supports the Royal Spanish Academy, of charming, bewitching, and which is derived from the function of ancient Pythia or priestess of the temple of Apollo at Delphi, where came faithful from anywhere of the Greek world to ask the god about their future or their designs and projects. Has little to do, then, the modern witch of newspapers with the function of old Pythia as an intermediary between mortals and Apollo.
He is also called "seer", a word that clearly means "one who sees", even supernatural visions, and who "intends to foretell the future or clarifying what is hidden" (curiously, many times these seers of the future or of the supernatural are physically blind about the world in which they live; let us remember the famous seer of the tragedy Oedipus named Tiresias, blind,). Shortly should see the modern witch, who guessed neither foresaw the backlash of gullible customer who swindled 165,000 euros. Therefore, the use of this word in this context is absolutely inadmissible.
Nor is it a "potion", because this word comes from the Greek "apó", ἀπό gr. 'away from', 'from' and "zema", ζέμα, 'cooking', 'decoction' of herbs and here only refers to "flowers submerged in water" .
It is not more appropriate to use the term spell, because although we assume that beside the water bath of flowers and smeared with mud from the cemetery, there was some magic verbal formula, nothing is told about it.
Nor is the situation exactly fits the term "elixir", according to the Royal Academy a word from scientific Latin " elixir", this from classic Arabic " al'iksīr" , and this from Greek. ξηρά, dry substances, because it is not a liqueur or medicinal liquid to drink. It could only be admitted as a generalization of its meaning.
Neither seems very appropriate to speak in the subentry of the headline as "fake love potion," as if there were any "real" and effective potion.
In short, if these linguistic lacks of precision are curious , what really is striking is that these magical practices come from the dawn of humanity and have gone through all historical periods, from Antiquity to the Middle Ages, Modern and Contemporary, and now survive at present in various forms, (sometimes covered with cultural costumes as Donizetti famous opera "L'elisir d'amore"): beliefs, ceremonies, horoscopes, necromancy, fortune-tellers, TV spots large audiences and, of course, thousands of web pages absolutely despicable.
So weak, imperfect and irrational is our human constitution?

Q: Updating components inside a custom ui:component when it is used multiple times on same page I am building a simple component in JSF (Mojarra 2.1.x) where I have to access parent ui components to update them, currently I'm using binding to achieve this, but it only works as long as I don't use the component more than once on the same page.
So I need a solution that would allow me to use the component multiple times on same page.
In the following code I'm updating commandButton with binding="#{msButton}" and panel with binding="#{msPanel}":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:component xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
    xmlns:cc="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"
    xmlns:layout="http://sterz.stlrg.gv.at/jsf/layout"
    xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">

    <cc:interface>
        <cc:attribute name="controller" required="true" />
        <cc:attribute name="converter" required="true" />
    </cc:interface>
    <cc:implementation>

                <ui:repeat id="repeat" value="#{cc.attrs.controller.itemList}"
                    var="item">

                    <h:outputText value=" #{msg.bis} " />

                </ui:repeat>

    </cc:implementation>
</ui:component>

Any help is much apprecieted.

A: The solution is to use the faces component bean
@FacesComponent("com.xxx.MultiselectorIdComponent")
public class MultiselectorIdComponent extends UINamingContainer
{

    UIComponent msPanel;

    // getters/settter and other ui compunents

}

tell the component interface what faces component bean to use
<cc:interface componentType="com.xxx.MultiselectorIdComponent">

bind the JSF component to the one in the faces component bean

and to access the components, for example to update the component, we use the binding

ALSO:
A good practice is to use a parent container (like
) with the following ID

Hope this helps,
Regards

A: You could target the components for update by their style class

And I guess you update them from addButton, which would look like this

It should have no problems working with many cc instances on the same page.
UPDATE
You can try with update="@composite", which should refresh the whole custom component. Or, the cumbersome update="@parent @parent:@parent:@parent:@child(1)" which should target panel and button respectively. Or update="@parent @parent:@parent:@previous", which should do the same. Take a look at chapter 4.3 in  Primefaces User Guide for more examples and supported keywords.

A: I solve similar problem by common bean "bindingBean" stored in ViewContext. BindingBean holds all binded component in internal MAP of component records. The key of hash map is an EL expression - it is factory of the component. EL is used for components creating. Components are hold in records stored in MAP in bind bean.
Example:
<h:panel binding="#{bindBean.get('msPanelFactory.getPanel()').component}"/>

Record:
public class BindingRecord {
    private Object component;
    private String compExpr;

    public BindingRecord(String compExpr) {
        this.compExpr = compExpr;
    }
    public Object getComponent() {
        if (component == null) {
            component = getValueExprValue("#{" + compExpr + "}");
        }
        return component;
    }
    public void setComponent(Object component) {
        this.component = component;
    }
    public Object getStoredComponent() {
        return component;
    }
}

Binding bean:
public class BindingBean {
    private final Map<String, BindingRecord> bindingMap = new HashMap<>();
    public BindingRecord get(String key) {
        BindingRecord result = bindingMap.get(key);
        if (result == null) {
            result = new BindingRecord(key);
            bindingMap.put(key, result);
        }
        return result;
    }
}

In you case you can use:
<h:panel binding="#{bindingBean.get('panelFactory.create()').component}"/>

Inside composite component you can use trick - Pass component name by composite parameter:
<h:panel binding="#{bindingBean.get('panelFactory.create('.concate(cc.attrs.componentName).concate(')')).component}"/>

Affairs and infidelity are more painful than ever.
Because now we often see a replay of the entire betrayal. The intimate texts. The sexy emails. Dick pics. Sometimes even the XXX rated videos.
Long gone are the days when all we found was a matchbook from a seedy motel or lipstick on a collar.
It's a new layer of modern trauma that never before existed. The words and images are burned into the minds of the one who is betrayed.
And when old boyfriends are now just a click away on Facebook, affairs are everywhere. And, on average, gay men are heavy users of social media.
Undisclosed hook-ups are painful in relationships, but affairs are torturous. Affairs are about secret emotional involvement.
Recovery is possible, and in fact, most gay couples do survive an affair. To give you some hope, and a sense of what the healing process might look like, here are some common stages of repair for couples in therapy:
Stage 1: Managing the crisis
This is the crisis stage. The relationship is going through a grieving process. These initial stages are almost always the most painful.
Now is the time to focus on the person who has been betrayed. The work is about making sure that the person who had the affair takes the time to really put his feet into his partner's shoes to understand what he is feeling.
Until the betrayer can feel empathy for the betrayed, no progress can be made.
This isn't about where someone put his penis. This is about the experience of being lied to. When our loved one lies to us, our view of the world falls apart. Relationships are about trust and safety. This is lost when what we thought was true is no longer real.
Stage 2: Understanding why the affair happened
For a couple to feel connected again they will need to know why the affair occurred. This is powerful growth work for both partners.
Sometimes there are unresolved issues in the relationship that are "acted out" through the affair. The crisis of the affair is often a wake-up call for the couple to do this work.
Paradoxically, the crisis can spark intimate, honest conversations that clients have waited a lifetime to experience. This is an exciting high for both partners. In stage two these peak moments are typically short-lived and not sustainable. But they do provide the much-needed hope. And that hope is the fuel to power the hard work of lasting relationship repair.
Sometimes the affair is not about problems within the relationship. Some people cheat because they want to feel more alive. The secrecy of an affair can make you feel more powerful, less vulnerable, and freer.
Affairs are usually less about sex and more often about the desire to feel special and seen. And because they are "naughty", the erotic charge increases. Research shows us that breaking taboos is the number one human aphrodisiac.
Affairs are often about wanting a new relationship with yourself rather than a new relationship with another person. The partner who had the affair will need to forge a new path to do the important work of building aliveness within himself.
Stage 3: Rebuilding intimacy
In the last stage the couple builds a new relationship dynamic based on honesty, empathy, and deeply connecting communication. They learn how to talk about any subject in a way that brings them closer together rather than further apart.
Typically this new culture is one of safety but also of imagination. The paradox of long-term relationships is that they offer safety but they often don't provide adventure. Humans like both.
Long term relationships need imagination to avoid domestic deadness. Some couples go dancing all night. Others create sexy scenes together. Affairs usually have lots of imagination. Why shouldn't long-term relationships receive the same creativity?
Fortunately, gay men are often known for their creativity.

All of our services provide opportunities to get to know others through activities in the community. From singing in a choir to volunteering at a charity shop, we make sure the people we support are able to do the things they want to do wherever possible.
We also know how important it is to be able to stay in touch with family and friends, so we support people to keep in contact with their loved ones, whether it's through organising a Sunday lunch with friends, or Skyping a relative.
Luv2meetU is our award-winning friendship service based in Bradford, but operated across a number of regions. We run events and outings for adults with learning disabilities so that they can have fun and make friends. Activities range from ice-skating and clubbing, to bowling and meals out – members influence the activities from week to week.

Hum Tum, which means 'you and me' in Urdu, was set up to enable adults with learning disabilities from a South Asian background to meet new people, share interests and develop friendships. We recognise the cultural and religious preferences of members by holding male- and female-only events at venues that don't serve alcohol, and we welcome family involvement wherever possible.
Since its creation Hum Tum has put on over a thousand events, including Eid and Diwali evenings, cinema outings and restaurant meals.
Find out more about what we do and where.
If a person we support has a particular hobby or interest they'd like to take part in with someone, we may be able to match them with a volunteer who enjoys the same things. Our buddying scheme allows people to share the activities they're passionate about – whether it's cycling, listening to music, or seeing a favourite football team play.
Buddying can be fun and hugely rewarding for everyone involved. Take a look at our volunteer pages for more information.

May Wine Punch is called Maibowle in Germany. The May Punch is a traditional German favorite to celebrate May Day. May Wine Punch is made with Sweet Woodruff flavor, (Waldmeister or Maikraut) known, loved, and celebrated in Germany. The punch can be made with or without alcohol, so that children and adults may enjoy this flavorful drink while dancing into the bliss of May. Scroll down and you will find both alcoholic and non-alcoholic recipes. They are easy to make.
Harvest the sweet woodruff before its flowers starts to bloom. Wash woodruff and lemon mint and dry them with a paper kitchen towel. Bind it in two bunches and let it dry overnight, but no longer than 3 days. The longer you dry the woodruff, the more intense the flavor will get. Pour 1 bottle of wine into a bowl and add sugar, stir until the sugar has dissolved. Place a cooking spoon across the top of the bowl. Attach a string to the cooking spoon and hang the woodruff upside down into the wine. Ensure the roots and lower end of the stems are not in the wine. Let the woodruff hang into the wine for at least 35 minutes, but no longer than 45 minutes.
Take the woodruff out and add in the second bottle of wine. The natural color of the punch should be the same as the color of the wine you are using. Adding a few drops of natural green food coloring will give your punch the green color this May Wine Punch is known for. Before serving, add the champagne and finish off with slices of lemon as garnish. Keep the punch chilled.
If you are using canned pineapples, place them in a sieve to drain. Using a whisk, mix the woodruff syrup with the spring water. Add in the sparkling water and the lemonade (or grapefruit beverage) and stir. Add the food coloring until the punch has reached your desired shade of green. Fill a nice glass pitcher with the punch and add in the pineapple chunks. Serve chilled.
Mix the water with the syrup and lemon juice. Wash the lemon mint and cut it with either a knife or use a food chopper. Add to the liquid. Mix with a fork and fill your tray. Place it in the freezer until frozen.


I have featured this blusher before here. It is a bit of a rediscovery as I was going to maybe sell it on after not using it as much as I thought but I gave it ago and Im really liking it this month. Its a lovely pinky colour for the spring time. I just add a subtle hint of colour to my cheeks as this is highly pigmented you don't need to use a lot.
I have been using this so much recently. Its the only lipliner I actually own currently. I use it all over as a full cover colour. I really love the pale pinkness of it. I use my Dior lipgloss over the top sometimes too. Again a lovely colour for spring !
I have already reviewed my Emma Hardie cleansing balm recently and I'm loving it. you can read my post here.
I didn't have high hopes for this product when I first bought it but now I love it sooo much. Its so good for the price and I prefer it over some of my high end products. I like that it is a creme base rather than silicone like most. It keeps my make up on all day and I like that it is moisturising too.

Collection of reference pathogen strains now available.
The global mushroom industry is in need for effective diagnostic methods. These methods will help growers to take the right prevention measures and allow researchers to recognise new pathogens at an early stage. Effective diagnostic methods can only be developed if researchers have enough isolates of the pathogen at their disposal and if they are able to exchange methods. At the workshop of the Global Mushroom Disease Diagnostic Initiative, held in 2008 just before the ISMS conference in Cape Town, it was decided to build a collection of reference pathogen strains for the white button mushroom diseases present worldwide.
This collection can play a vital role in the development of diagnostic methods. In this project, researchers from South Africa (University of Pretoria), Ireland (Teagasc), New Zealand (CFR), US (Penn State University), Australia (University of Sydney) and the Netherlands (Wageningen University) combined relevant isolates into a fungal collection. Duplicates of this collection are located in Pretoria and Wageningen. This collection contains isolates of fungal diseases collected from the main button mushroom producing countries (worldwide) en is accessible to scientific researchers that aim to develop diagnostic methods.
Strains will only be handed out under the terms of a material transfer agreement. A minimal handling fee of Rand 100 (≈ $ 10,- / ≈€ 8,-) per culture is payable to the organization that will provide you with the isolate. Some strains in this collection originate from culture collections such as CBS or ATCC. People who are interested in obtaining these strains should contact these culture collections directly.

Milkweed: Monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed leaves and Monarch caterpillars eat the leaves. A successful butterfly garden has plants that meet butterfly's needs during all four life stages, the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and adult.
You can attract butterflies to your garden by providing them with food (plants and flowers), water, shelter, and places to lay their eggs (host plants). Butterflies drink nectar, so growing nectar-rich flowers will attract butterflies to your garden. Also, when their eggs hatch, the caterpillars eat the foliage of the plant they were laid on, so growing the right type of plants to feed caterpillars is important, since it will allow female butterflies to lay their eggs in your garden.
Most butterflies only eat flower nectar. Different species of butterfly usually prefer different flowers, but they will generally feed on many types of flowers from plants, shrubs, vines, and trees.
When it comes to laying their eggs, however, butterflies only lay them on the plant that the caterpillar will eventually eat (this differs from species to species). The eggs are frequently laid on the underside of leaves.
Caterpillars mostly eat leaves; usually the leaves that they were laid on.
Plan your garden so that there are flowers much of the year, so that there is a steady supply of nectar for the butterflies.
Sunlight: Butterflies use sunlight to regulate their body temperature. They need sunlight to keep themselves warm, but the outside temperature can also become too hot for them. A good butterfly garden should provide both sunny places and shady places where butterflies can cool off while they eat.
Buddleia (pronounced BUD-lee-ah), also called butterfly bush, has lilac-shaped blossoms whose sweet nectar attracts many species of butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, and bees. This easy-to-grow deciduous shrub blooms from mid to late summer and is a magnet for Western Checkerspots, swallowtails, buckeyes, Red Admirals, Echo Blues, and many other butterflies. Also, during the fall, buddleia seeds will feed birds. There are about 70 species of the Buddleia genus.
(these will attract many local butterflies).
Do not use insecticides in your garden! They will kill butterflies and caterpillars.
The first step is to determine which species thrive in your area, then determine what host plant the butterfly needs - see the table below.
(The plant that the butterfly will lay its egg on and the caterpillar will later eat.

Minor League Cricket Announces Player Registration Opening
By Dhruv BarotJuly 7, 2020 No Comments
Home » Minor League Cricket Announces Player Registration Opening
USA Cricket and American Cricket Enterprises (ACE) are pleased to announce today the details of the official Player Registration process for Minor League Cricket, and to give a status update on preparations for the new league.
Cricketers across the U.S. will have the opportunity to register for Minor League Cricket, and put their name forward for selection into a Minor League Cricket team for the upcoming season. The Player Registration process opens today on Tuesday, July 7th, continuing for four weeks until the registration deadline on Friday, July 31st, at Midnight PST. The registration process is open to all cricketers based in the U.S. as well as individuals who live abroad and can legally reside in the U.S. for the duration of the season. All players who register by the deadline will be considered for the inaugural Minor League Cricket Player Draft.
The debut season of Minor League Cricket was due to take place earlier in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the postponement of almost all domestic cricket in the USA from early March onwards. ACE and USA Cricket have been working closely together throughout this period to plan for all potential scenarios and are continuing to assess the likelihood of any cricket activity for drafted Minor League Cricket players in 2020. Ultimately, the staging of any matches or organized team activities will be dependent upon the guidelines of the state and county jurisdictions in which teams are based.
Minor League Cricket will continue to monitor the situation on an ongoing basis and consider any necessary delays in the best interests of the league and all stakeholders including owners, players, and other key partners. There will be a further update in 3 to 4 weeks' time with the official plans for the inaugural season of Minor League Cricket.
Sameer Mehta and Vijay Srinivasan of American Cricket Enterprises commented, "Our main aim with Minor League Cricket is to give a platform and opportunity for the best cricketers in America to showcase their abilities. We would like to call on cricketers across all 50 states to register now to have a chance of playing in Minor League Cricket via the first-ever nationwide draft for cricketers in the USA.
"We will only proceed with plans to run the inaugural edition of Minor League Cricket when absolutely safe to do so. We continue to assess all scenarios and have worked on possible mitigating practices to give the league the best chance of proceeding in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a rapidly evolving situation, so for now we will defer any decisions until the next formal announcement towards the end of July."
"USA Cricket would like to thank our partners at American Cricket Enterprises for their efforts in establishing Minor League Cricket during what has been a very difficult time for the country," said USA Cricket Chief Executive Iain Higgins. "A huge amount of work has been done and we have been in daily contact with the team at ACE throughout, including how to best work through the various complications that the COVID-19 crisis has presented. We are in complete agreement it is best to only begin any cricket when absolutely safe for everyone in the American cricket community. However, the announcement of the Player Registration process is a positive and exciting step and we encourage all interested cricketers to register with Minor League Cricket as soon as possible.
"In light of the continuing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in this country, USA Cricket continues to defer making any final decisions in respect to rescheduling the Men's 50-Over National Championships in 2020 and the domestic playing calendar for men, women and youth generally. We are hopeful that we will be able to reschedule some of our planned activities for 2020 and will announce those plans as soon as we can be definitive about them. In the meantime, our scenario planning continues to be integrated with ACE and Minor League Cricket in order to provide the best and well-coordinated playing opportunities for our domestic talent."

Q: How to iterate over many websites and parse text using web crawler I am trying to parse text and run an sentiment analysis over the text from multiple websites. I have successfully been able to strip just one website at a time and generate a sentiment score using the TextBlob library, but I am trying to replicate this over many websites, any thoughts on where to start?
Here is the code:
import requests
import json
import urllib
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from textblob import TextBlob

url = "http://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/38dqxf/josh_duggar_confessed_to_his_father_jim_bob/"
html = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

# kill all script and style elements
for script in soup(["script", "style"]):
    script.extract()    # rip it out

# get text
text = soup.get_text()

# break into lines and remove leading and trailing space on each
lines = (line.strip() for line in text.splitlines())
# break multi-headlines into a line each
chunks = (phrase.strip() for line in lines for phrase in line.split("  "))
# drop blank lines
text = '\n'.join(chunk for chunk in chunks if chunk)

#print(text)

wiki = TextBlob(text)
r = wiki.sentiment.polarity

print r

Thank you in advance

A: This is how you get the data from a website via URL in python:
import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen('http://reddit.com/')
html = response.read()

html is a string containing all of the HTML from the URL.
I'm not entirely sure what you want to get from each page. If you comment below, I could edit this answer and help you further.
Edit:
If you want to iterate through a list of URLs, you could create a function and go about it like this:
#you can add to this
urls = ["http://www.google.com", "http://www.reddit.com"]

def parse_websites(list_of_urls):
    for url in list_of_urls:
        html = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
        soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
        # kill all script and style elements

        for script in soup(["script", "style"]):
            script.extract()    # rip it out

        # get text
        text = soup.get_text()

        # break into lines and remove leading and trailing space on each
        lines = (line.strip() for line in text.splitlines())
        # break multi-headlines into a line each
        chunks = (phrase.strip() for line in lines for phrase in line.split("  "))
        # drop blank lines
        text = '\n'.join(chunk for chunk in chunks if chunk)

        #print(text)

        wiki = TextBlob(text)
        r = wiki.sentiment.polarity

        print r

-'' 'Some cheese- either Romano or Parmesan cheese will do, although you can also crown the dish with a few other types of cheese like Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese.
-'' 'Split the mushrooms and green onions into small portions with a knife and then put them out of the way.
-'' 'Starting from the top of the jalapenos, carve them right down the mid section from the tip to the bottom and then get rid of the kernels.
-'' ' Divide them up into tiny pieces and then put them to the side.
-'' 'Slice the cucumber after peeling it and then segment the tomatoes into slices and keep them away at the side and not together with the other vegetables.
-'' 'Use a big sized basin to comprehensively combine 2 cans of tuna that has been sapped off with 3 table spoons of mayonnaise and then put in the shoots of beans and the jalapenos as well as the emerald colored onions and the mushrooms and then swirl till they all become a total mixture of mayo and tuna fish.
-'' 'Envelop the whole wheat bread by spooning the mixture uniformly and then crown it using broken up leaves of lettuce, carvings of tomato, cheese and also some pieces of sliced cucumber and then finally cover with another cut of wheat bread.

The original The Evil Within made a name for itself with its horrific monster design, and now the sequel The Evil Within 2 wants you to worry about twisted humans too. Specifically the one-eyed photographer Stefano Valentini, who definitely isn't interested in snapping adorable puppies or babies dressed as bumblebees.
"I realized the beauty in destruction," he purrs, as the camera passes over what looks like a severed head. If that wasn't enough, he's got a massive knife and an unhealthy obsession with Lily, the daughter of The Evil Within's protagonist Sebastian Castellanos. It's fair to say mental health professionals would consider that combination a red flag.
Valentini - who seems more than a little inspired by Mads Mikkelsen's recent portrayal of Hannibal - was once a war photographer but, after losing his eye capturing an explosion, developed an obsession with death. So much so that he became a serial killer in order to manufacture death scenes to photograph. You can see a gallery of his "art" over on the Bethesda blog.
Combine murderous tendencies with his discovery of STEM - the dark, parallel world created by a system designed to tie together different individuals' consciousnesses and memories - and he's definitely going to be a problem in The Evil Within 2. Hopefully one you get to solve with a rocket launcher.
The Evil Within 2 is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One on (wait for it) Friday, October 13.

What word can be used to mean either click or tap?
Very often we need to speak generically about clicking or tapping an item, but there seems to be a lack of vocabulary in English for this. We could just say "click or tap" every time, but that is just clumsy.
Select is often used as a generic term, but it also has a different meaning (as in select text with the cursor) so could cause some confusion.
So what word can be used to refer to "clicking or tapping" an item?
I regularly work on web apps that run on a browser, so they are used on mobile (touch based) and pc's. I've used the term 'click' in the past as a generic term, but on user testing it has shown to cause some confusion for users. Select has been the clearest, but I am loathe to use that term as it has another meaning.
Some references:

Thanks for the references Koen. They improve the question. – JohnGB♦ Apr 11 '13 at 13:25
fwiw inside the Android SDK the concept is generally referred to as click such as with an OnClickListener for a button. – FoamyGuy Apr 11 '13 at 15:25

Click or TOUCH... Touching is gentle. Tapping is a harder blow. And they are touch screens not tap screens. – PhillipW Jun 14 '16 at 18:35
If you feel like jumping the action (click/tap) you can directly say "Select" the ...
Rather than a generic word, I would suggest you try to check what device the person is using and then say "click/tap" appropriate for the platform. But, then come the devices with both, a peripheral device and touch capability, which make this situation awkward-ish. You can still go with 'tap' since they are primarily touch (?) for interaction.
Also, I think you can use 'click' universally, since if you keep the sounds on, most platforms play a 'click' sound when you tap/click on any icon.
rk.rk.
Select is a perfect answer in my opinion. What if we start blinking our eyes to select an option tomorrow (as in Project Glass)? Is it a click just because we mimic a clicking sound to give feedback of the selection? – kush Apr 11 '13 at 13:56
Disagree; select is ambiguous with other types of action. Ex Does "select start" mean click/tap something with the word start on it, or drag/swipe to highlight it to be copied onto the clipboard. – Dan Neely Apr 11 '13 at 17:34
@DanNeely It is contextual... if it is a button/link then it means to click/tap, if it is a text block it means highlight. The UI element will signify what it means. – rk. Apr 11 '13 at 17:46
I like 'select' because it also accepts that some people might be using input devices other than mice/fingers; for example, a text-based web browser, or an older phone or game console with a WAP-style browser. Either way, cursor + select keys. – fluffy Apr 11 '13 at 21:01
Select, to me, sounds strongly like choosing among options, as in a dropdown menu. But I agree, "click" has a more universal meaning. In this instance, "click" is a metaphor, perhaps a sort of skeuomorphism: you are either clicking the physical button of a mouse, or clicking the virtual button on the screen. – Taj Moore Apr 12 '13 at 5:23
Select or Press
Just thinking about it from the perspective of the item. It will be selected/pressed by either the user's finger or the mouse cursor. Either of those work.
JT703JT703
Technically pressing is what you are doing on both occasions so press does seem much clearer and concrete. – uxzapper Apr 12 '13 at 0:15
@uxzapper but what about voice control then? – Koen Lageveen Apr 12 '13 at 6:56
"by either the user's finger or the mouse cursor" = as Koen hints at, there are many more ways to interact with a device than the physically pressing. Voice control, eye tracking, gestures, motion sensing, etc. – DA01 Apr 12 '13 at 20:53
+1 for Press, though I think Select is more ambiguous as discussed above. – Vince Bowdren May 24 '13 at 10:12
In my opinion pressing is misleading as it just means pressing the finger/pointer down. A click or tap is only performed after both pressing and releasing the finger/pointer. E.g. you can also do a long press on something which would perform a different action (opening a context menu,...) – coeing May 31 '16 at 21:48
Press (you either press the mouse button to click on a link, or you directly press the display if it's a touch device)
We expect answers which provide a new viewpoint through reasoning or research, could you provide that to your answer? – Pesikar Apr 12 '13 at 12:28
Press usually means a longer tap, so already has a different meaning. – JohnGB♦ Apr 12 '13 at 19:46
Correct, "press" is the right term, although it's often misused in place of "press and hold" but that will soon iron itself out. – obelia Apr 13 '13 at 3:22
Silly comments
I'm a Spanish speaker, and this question comes from a prestigious member wearing the "GB" letters in his name, so I'm intimidated. But anyway ...
In Spanish, quite informally almost humorously, I use the verb picar that means to peck. Mouse pointers and fingers behave like birds while eating.
Now I realize that this silly word pictures both actions.
Serious comment
What I wouldn't use is select, which was nominated several times above.
To me select is what happens immediately after you beak on a Windows icon (for example): it changes it appearance in order to look as a selected icon.
My answer
In some IT applications there are property sets that contain, among other data, some word for items.
Like for example the word for scripted actions is "sh" in *NIX, "bat" in PC DOS, "job" in mainframe.
Web apps can be sent a property bag with words for things that are slightly different in the various clients, and do replacements after having recognized the media.
Thus, in UIs equipped with touch screens (not necessarily mobile) the name of the thing would be tap while in mouse-operated UIs click.
Something like i18n, isn't it?
This is not to say that it's possible to do a knee-jerk replacement of every "click" by a "tap". The replaceable instances must be carefully tagged.
Also, if the UI was going to be translated, English is a best scenario where click can be used as a noun and several verbal forms too. It's not so in Spanish where you would need several words.

To "beak" would translate, I think, to "peck." I like it. – Ken Mohnkern Jun 4 '13 at 19:49
Both "select" and "choose" have worked well in usability tests I've done.

Good question. Both with B2C web sites a couple of times (when we were moving from copy with explicit "click" instructions since it was causing confusion when were testing on non-mice devices). – adrianh Apr 21 '13 at 9:59
I have been scrolling down looking for the word "Choose". It seemed so obvious. – user67695 Jan 31 '17 at 17:31
I've had this on my mind often, too. Until I see something better, I'm of the position that the two terms should not be co-presented, nor should we use a common word.
What is one word that can be used to describe a bark or a meow?
One word would convey that the communication wasn't prepared for the audience that is hearing it.
The core issue is one of agency. A tap is embodied. A click has agency through a proxy. The mapping of the agency (mouse) is what inhibits using a single word.
Further, a person using a tablet has access to interactive gestures that are not available to the desktop (mouse -> click). The text should address the user's context.
It follows the same pattern as printing "they received the package" instead of "he received the package" or "she received the package". Many people will print 'they' because they want to skirt the issue that they don't know the context about which they're speak. If we came up with a platform-neuter word, we would only further avoid writing for the context of the reader.

"The text should address the user's context" = while true, it's less than ideal in the world of interaction documentation. If we're building a responsive site and I have to write separate interaction notes for clicking vs. tabbing vs. tapping, it's going to cause a whole lot more problems with documentation overload. – DA01 Jul 30 '13 at 14:52
@DA01 your convenience is the users' pain. Remember that – New Alexandria Jul 30 '13 at 17:30
I'm not sure what you mean. How is creating a device-agnostic solution painful for the user? That's a benefit for the user. It appears you're implying that different devices and different users should require different UIs? – DA01 Jul 30 '13 at 17:37
oh! Wait...I think I see the confusion. The OP isn't clear on this: Are we talking about the terminology we use internally, or are we talking about the terminology we use with the end-user? That...COULD make a difference. That said, I'd still argue for an agnostic term as we simply can't or don't know what the user's preferred interaction method will be. The purpose of a lot of web solutions is to be agnostic in that regard. – DA01 Jul 30 '13 at 17:40
So, an agnostic example: "select the item". A co-presented example: "Click or tap or tab (or use any other number of assistive pointing devices) to the item". I see the argument for the latter, but I don't agree that it'd be a better experience for the end-user. – DA01 Jul 30 '13 at 17:41
Both click and tap are supposed to mimic the same thing from the real physical world, which is the action of using a button on a keyboard or a light switch to mention some. Tapping is fairly new and came to life and became popular with the emergence of touch controls, where the word "click" seems to be a bit off. Your actually tapping the screen, not hitting the enter button on the keyboard or a mouse button to control a non-physical button on the screen.
There are two ways to look at this problem. Either you disregard the fact what you use in the physical word and only use click, since you're clicking a virtual button. Or you keep on relying on the use of the physical real world where click would refer to keyboard or mouse and tap would refer to touch interface.
My advice would be to only use click, and focus on the virtual environment on the screen.

One thing I've run into with 'click' is that developers sometime literally translate that into something like an onClick event. The problem is that they may then attach it to a div and suddenly there's no way to 'select' it via a keyboard because you can't tab to it. That SHOULDN'T be a UX problem, as the dev team really should understand the full spectrum of how users interact with the code, but I find 'select' helps a little in communicating that better than 'click'. – DA01 Apr 12 '13 at 21:56
"Hit" would be a good fit. You can hit something directly with your hand or indirectly with a cursor.
vincent.iovincent.io
It is a good suggestion but for some reason to me it has a negative feel to the word. Since hit is predominantly used for meaning violence. – rk. Apr 18 '13 at 14:38
I like this, though it is on the informal side. "To vote for your favourite song, hit the button" sounds fine, but "To download your medical records, hit the button" seems incongruous. – Bennett McElwee Jul 30 '13 at 23:38
@rk Google Analytics used to use Page hits but I see your point. Still +1 for an option that wasn't thought of. – Armstrongest Jun 14 '16 at 16:42
The button or link should already speak for itself.
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned before, but why not omit the word entirely? The link or button should already indicate it is interactive, so the content should represent the action to perform when clicked or tapped. For example, instead of saying "Click to send me an email," or "Tap to check out," one would be more concise to just say "Send me an email" or "Check out." Not only does it become medium-agnostic, but the text will more specifically spell out what the item will do. Furthermore, SEO will be more accurate as well, as the link will more appropriately match the title of the next page or content.

The WinRT XAML framework for Windows 8 apps calls it "press" as in "[a] pointer device initiates a Press action". But this is jargon and might not be suitable for users.
Sebastian NegraszusSebastian Negraszus
Click or Tap strikes me more useful as actions, or the words to describe choosing an action. I click the Home button on my iPhone to bring me to the Home Screen. I tap an app icon to launch the icon. In your example, clicking or tapping an item is choosing to press some button or graphic or ticking a box. As someone else mentioned, the UI will make it clear what it is the user is choosing to do.
Place the word you wish to use within the graphic which requires the action. So if after filling in a form the user has to "Submit" the information, place a button with the word "Submit" and instruct the user to press the "Submit" button. You could in fact also use the word "Choose": If you are ready to submit your information, choose the 'Submit' button.
If there are options to choose from, same idea; use the actual word in a graphic which the user has to 'choose", i.e.: Choose which job descriptions suits you best - followed by buttons with the choices written inside them.
ShaneShane
+1 for Choose, a word not embattled by technology. – user67695 Jan 31 '17 at 17:39
So the immediate options are Select, Press or Choose, but I believe there would be few mobile users who would not understand Click
Optimally, you have desinged for the device... meaning everything about the user experience has been designed for the platform its being interacted with (goes to the core of the argument against responsive design) However, not every project can be developed this way.
I would choose from these options based on context. Interesting question - how technology changes the nomenclatures of UI.
David Shantz WOWDavid Shantz WOW
There is an argument against responsive design? I like the word Choose, it seems more high-level than Click or Press. Everyone can choose, but clicking, pressing, etc are dependent on the current implementation, which obviously is going to change. – user67695 Jan 31 '17 at 17:34
Buttons mirror a real world button hence you should use the real world term. eg for buttons I would use Press

For many years Microsoft has made it established usage to use "press" and "key" when speaking of the keyboard, and "click" and "button" when speaking of the mouse and the virtual buttons on the screen. The distinction has been very useful for 10 or 20 years. Rather than throw away a distinction that is still often required, we should keep those distinctive words and their recognised meanings, and ADD to them a generic word for when we need to be "device-agnostic". Sometimes we need to make distinctions; sometimes we need to be generic.
Someone else somewhere has suggested "activate" for the generic "press/click/tap" meaning we now need. I have mixed feelings about "activate": it's a laborious trisyllabic word, lacking the quick grace of "click" and "tap", so I hope "activate" doesn't actually win the day. But on the other hand it's a new word (well, new to this area, at any rate), so we can give it a suitable UI meaning without having to bend and break the long-standing definitions of "press" or "click". Further, its existing non-UI meaning is already very close to the meaning we need (press/click/tap). If we were to pick "activate", we would not have to do violence to any existing meaning or interfere with any existing set of terms. We could therefore give it the desired "device-agnostic" meaning. But "activate" definitely does not trip off the tongue, and I hope we can find something less leaden.

Welcome to the site, @Stephen! Do you have any sources you can cite to support your assertions that Microsoft has made it established usage to use "press" and "key" or that Someone else somewhere has suggested "activate". (Where is the usage established by Microsoft? For example, is there a style guide? Who suggested "activate"?) – Graham Herrli Jan 22 '15 at 4:38
There's this Microsoft blog confirming the difference between "click" and "press": blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2009/07/14/… – Stephen F Nov 3 '15 at 0:07
I'll try to find something about the difference between "button" and "key". As to the proposal to use "activate" to cover "click", "press" and "tap", I can't now remember where I came across that! – Stephen F Nov 3 '15 at 0:14
This is fun semantic debate, but at the end of the day if the context is interface copy for users — rather than documentation language — I don't think there can be one correct, universal term that transcends devices and languages. More importantly, the interface shouldn't have to explicitly say "click" or "tap" or "press".
Our brains process visual information far faster than textual information. If it looks like it can be clicked or tapped, it will be. Just give an iPhone to 2 year old who can't read.
Also, it is a good UX principle to inform the user what will happen on the other side of the "click" or "tap", so the interface copy should focus on what the action will do anyways (e.g. "Save Draft").
On the other hand, if it is meant for documentation then you should use the appropriate action corresponding to the event attribute:
Form events (focus, blur... )
Keyboard events (keyup, keydown...)
Mouse events (click, drag, mouseover...)
Touch events (touchstart, touchend, touchmove...)
Especially important if you are using an interaction library that has its own actions, like Hammer's pan, swipe, tap, press or jQuery, Greensock, etc.

It's a pity "clap" is already taken.
Maybe "click/tap". Is that simpler or more complex than "click or tap"?
I find "click or tap" the lesser of two evils (more decision-making vs new term that is probably more ambiguous and less precise) because it uses two highly automated and contextual behaviors.
uxzapperuxzapper
I playfully suggested 'clap' as a good term in chat. It isn't currently used as a transitive verb, so it wouldn't be confused given context. – JohnGB♦ Apr 12 '13 at 7:57
Oddly, enough, the inverse portmanteau would be better: "tick". 'Ticking a box' is a common expression throughout the EU, and a 'tick' action somehow feels similar to both a mouse click, and a tap. – New Alexandria Apr 12 '13 at 13:56
It's setting a precedence, though. Ideally you'd list out all ways to interact which can get silly. Click or Tap or Press Return or etc. – DA01 Apr 12 '13 at 20:56
@JohnGB point of order: "Clap" can be intransitive (They clap) or transitive (They clap their hands). But you're right in saying that context would make it clear. – Bennett McElwee Jul 30 '13 at 23:40
What about Interact? It's a much broader term but it depends how specific you need to be.
I must admit I cant think of a term without an issue
Select could = select(highlight) like you would with text.
Tick could = tick box
check could = check box
Would it be terrible to continue using "click/tap"?
What about "strike", although you may end up with people hitting their devices a little too hard!
SheffSheff
we use "interact"
example: button.on("interact", function () { ... })
imanuelimanuel
That's more of an example for developers rather than end users. – JonW♦ Apr 12 '15 at 16:10
To surrender to the 2 words being different and not having one word to describe both actions, I usually just use CSS to show the word click when a site is being viewed on a PC and touch when on a mobile device. The only issue is that some PCs are touch screen but I think those users understand.
WheelzWheelz
The word Choose serves that purpose.
I am the administrator of a forum and I have struggled with this for some time. In that forum, I create help guides on how to use the forum. When giving instructions to 7000+ members who use a variety of devices, my term "click" that I've used for years, just doesn't seem to apply for me. In my opinion "choose" serves that purpose.
For example - You will see a tab that says "View new messages" Choose the "View New Messages tab."
GuardianAngelGuardianAngel
Right. When we consider the user's task instead of the implementation, we can communicate with them in terms they will understand. Too often, technology forces terminology and workflows on people based on what it was easy or cheap to get the machine to do. But there is no reason that words cannot be easy to understand, and use terms that do not have to be revised over and over. – user67695 Jan 31 '17 at 17:37
In the early 90's, technical writing classes used to teach that the use of the word "click" was confusing to people who had never used a computer, and "select" or "press" should should be used instead. I however, believe that "click" is now common verb in the English lexicon and few people have any issue understanding the word. It seems to elicit far less confusing than "select", which does not imply or define the method (e.g. clicking a mouse button vs. using the keyboard).
Hmmm....Hmmm....
We most need the click & tap verbs when writing a certain elementary level of functional instructions in which it's not enough to say simply, "Accomplish this end," but when we need to explain how to go about doing so.
The idea of chameleon text is technically cool, although automatically using Tap on mobiles and Click on mouse-driven devices may be as myopic as assuming nationality or language group according to the geographical location of the visitor. As though folks never traveled abroad! I have been known to look up mobile device instructions on my laptop.
Therefore I join those who would choose a single cross-platform verb. Peck is certainly funny enough to qualify, even if some might object to an ill-conceived instruction manual that urges us to "slide your pecker up to scroll." Portmanteaus of click and tap such as Tick, Tack, and Clap deserve equally serious consideration.
"Select" ought to work - after all, Tim Berners-Lee got there first with the HTML select element. But someone started using it to mean to highlight text and the ambiguity began.
If at some point we give up and resort to another metaphor on the same level as Select, I suggest Choose. I've been using it successfully for some time now and haven't been flamed for it once.

Technically, Click refers to a selection from any input-device.
Computers. the act of rapidly depressing and releasing a button on a mouse or other input device, usually the left-hand button, as to select an icon.

Touching the screen means there is no button on the input device. There actually is no input device – Jason T Featheringham Jun 21 '14 at 1:16
The input device is the screen. But you could refer to this as an input method. – Aaron Benjamin Jun 24 '14 at 0:52
Agreed, but since the screen doesn't have a button to click, the definition doesn't apply. – Jason T Featheringham Jun 24 '14 at 2:22
The screen is the button in the same way a track pad is a button. – Aaron Benjamin Jun 24 '14 at 13:08
A trackpad is not always a button, but only when it can be physically pressed down (physically moved from one state to another via pressure). A screen is never a button, . Thus, click does not hold. – Jason T Featheringham Jun 26 '14 at 5:35

Social workers took to the streets of the capital today in a march to commemorate World Social Workers' Day, but concerned about employment opportunities.
Allan Thompson, the final year University of the West Indies social work programme student who organized the march, said while many people held a passion for social work, making a living in the field could prove challenging.
"Some of the challenges we face is the lack of employment because it is indeed difficult to get the jobs at this time," Thompson said.
Today the marchers were also accompanied by tuk band players.
Some of the social workers who took to the streets of the capital today in a march to commemorate World Social Workers' Day.
He revealed that the Barbados Association for Professional Social Workers (BAPSW) was working to get Government to recognize the importance of the skill set in these times "so that we can be able to have more jobs".
Thompson recommended the best place to begin would be at schools, which in recent times had experienced an increase in violence, including a spate of stabbings.
It was a need that was identified by Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Education Harry Husbands last December, when he admitted at a Democratic Labour Party lecture that a shortage of counsellors and psychologists in the island's schools was impacting discipline.
"We have children whose parents were on drugs before they were born and they have come into the world with tremendous difficulties . . . .There may be a few young people in our education system who could be diagnosed as schizophrenic or there may even be a few who could be diagnosed as sociopaths. These are important issues and we don't have yet in this country enough support services such as psychologists and people who have the right support skills to deal with these young people who are living in these times with drugs, violence and guns. Our education system is now struggling to get up to the level required when it comes to the support that we need," Husbands had said.
He had also indicated at the time that though the Ronald Jones-led Ministry of Education has made strides, it had missed the mark when it comes to treating the root causes of disciplinary issues, and that due to the shortage of counsellors in schools the ministry had been referring children to private psychologist in order for them to get the help that they needed.
This morning Thompson agreed, and insisted that social workers were willing and able to fill the void.
"More social workers will certainly help to stem some of the problems that we are seeing in the schools. When you start social work and study it at the university level you are exposed to a variety of techniques and courses that better help you understand human behaviour. You learn active listening skills all these things groom you to be better able to help young people. So that is certainly one avenue we could be useful," he said.
This morning's march, which began at Cheapside and concluded at Heroes' Square, The City, saw scores of social workers wearing green T-shirts and led by a Tuk band, demonstrate their solidarity with those who look after societies' vulnerable.
Oh dear. Look at these academics. Right where the government wants or put them. Things will get worst.
Stop depending on Government. If there is a demand for your skills then develop the appropriate business model and sell your services to Government and the general public and the world.

Down but not out: CMBS stages a comeback
Despite some blunt assessments on the outlook for CMBS, room for optimism remains as spreads chart impressive reversal.

Despite some blunt assessments on the outlook for CMBS, room for optimism remains as spreads chart impressive reversal.
As I walked the floor at CREFC's High Yield & Distressed Realty Assets Summit in Manhattan back in March, I recall distinctly how one industry acquaintance bluntly summarized the mood of the event: "This is depressing, isn't it?" he asked.
I sat down to write a column focused on CMBS this week because I thought I might riff on how much things had changed since then. After all, several recent positive developments had led me to believe that CMBS could stage a comeback after a dull start to the year.
Earlier this year 'AAA' tranches were pricing at 170-plus basis points over swaps, but the latest deal to price, JPMDB 2016-C2, cleared at S+117 this week, well inside the S+125 for the MSBAM 2016-C29 deal that was 2016's previous best, Trepp noted today. There's also a bill seeking to mitigate the impacts of upcoming risk retention rules, and according to Trepp data issuance levels of $19.4 billion through April are on par with 2014's $19.8 billion, which was a $93.1 billion year.
In late February Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) lowered its 2016 issuance projection to $60 billion. Surely KBRA would be revising their $60 billion estimate, I thought. But Paul Fitzsimmons, head of CMBS Research at KBRA, was sticking to his guns this week.
"Everyone has pushed their projections down," he said. "I just hope we hit the $60 billion."
Risk retention rules, which go into effect in late December, will force CMBS issuers to retain a 5 percent slice of every new deal they issue — or designate a B-piece buyer to take on that risk. A greater number of loan applications in April and May could lead to increased CMBS issuance over the summer months, but the new rules otherwise give issuers — leery of the rule's broader implications — very little time to close deals by year end, Fitzsimmons said.
"If the last deals of the year are priced in early December, loans are closed around October and November, which means they were probably bid on around August or early September resulting in reduced activity at that point," he said.
The Preserving Access to CRE Capital Act of 2016 aims to lessen the burdens of risk retention by excluding loans deemed "low risk" or "Qualified Commercial Real Estate" (QCRE), mainly single asset-single borrower deals. The House Financial Services Committee voted in favor of the bill and Martin Schuh, CRE Finance Council's VP of legislative and regulatory policy, said his organization is now "actively seeking Senate support for the measure." However, any passage of that bill could be at least several months off, especially during an election year, making any tangible impacts this year unlikely.
Finally, while widened spreads have indeed reversed course, it can be argued that it's a lack of supply that is largely responsible for helping push spreads lower, as Trepp suggested in a memo earlier this week.
Meanwhile, in the trenches, the head of one CMBS origination shop told me this week that "CMBS is definitely still the last bus stop for most borrowers" and that tighter spreads weren't changing that. He is "sitting tight" and waiting for the right deals, but business has otherwise fallen short of original projections.
Yet I found some additional optimism from Trepp analyst Sean Barrie, who told me the recent spreads reversal "will go a long way to restoring the market's faith that the sector can perform well [and] give confidence to lenders who currently feel they wouldn't have their loans accurately priced if they went to market."
The tightening spreads coupled with the passage of a bill mitigating risk retention impacts could all bode well for CMBS down the line and will indeed restore confidence in the market, even if it doesn't significantly impact issuance this year. So, in keeping with that optimistic spirit, I'll go ahead and put Real Estate Capital's own CMBS issuance projection — of $60.1 billion — on the record.

Fun Facts about Saint Nicholas with a Craft and Activity Round-Up
Did you know that December 6th is Saint Nicholas Day? Many cultures celebrate by leaving their shoes out on the night of December 5th and St. Nicholas comes and leaves treats like coins, nuts, fruit, and candies. This is all in memory of the real St. Nicholas and how he gave so much to others. I thought to celebrate this year we would look at some fun facts about this saint.
Source: St. Nicholas Center
Nicholas (the name) is of Greek origin and means "victor of people."
Nicholas was born in 270 A.D. in Patara and served as Bishop of Myra. Both are seaports off Turkey's southern coast. He died in 345.
His remains ended up in Bari, Italy. Though some were left after his tomb in Myra was invaded and those now are enshrined in the church of St. Nicholas on the Ludo in Venice, Italy.
Nicholas's parents served the sick when Nicholas was born. They contracted the diseases and died. He inherited everything since he was an only child. Many consider him the first philanthropist saint.
It is legend that his first philanthropist act happened in his hometown. There was a widower father with three daughters who was considering selling them into slavery out of dire need. Nicholas threw a bag of gold threw their window three consecutive nights.

He became Bishop of Myra at the age of 30 and is sometimes referred to as the boy bishop because of the young age.

He was one of the 318 bishops who participated in the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. It was here that the Nicene Creed was written.
There are records of Nicholas's giving help. He is considered the protector of the innocent. One includes going up to the executioner and taking the sword from his hands and throwing it on the ground to save three supposedly innocent men from death.
Inspired by St. Nicholas French nuns during the Middle Ages started a tradition of bringing anonymous gifts to needy families and their children on December 5th (St. Nicholas Eve). Families would wake up to the surprises and when they tried to find out who was the benefactor they were told it must have been St. Nicholas.
Oranges are often a gift of St. Nicholas to represent the bags of gold thrown in the neighbor's window.
St. Nicholas spent seven years imprisoned and tortured for his faith in Christ before the first Christian emperor, Constantine issued the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D. giving liberty to all Christians.
It is believed that the Emperor of Constantinople's niece, Princess Theophano bought a mosaic icon of St. Nicholas for her future husband, Emperor Otto II as a wedding gift. They were married by Pope John XIII on April 14, 973 in old St. Peter's Basilica Rome.
Nicholas made the pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 312 A.D. He lived in caves near Bethlehem for three years and did some writing that has been lost.
It is believed that his relics release a rose scented liquid called manna and has miraculous healing powers. Clergymen still go to a sarcophagus in the Basilica San Nicola church on December 6th each year to procure it.
