Match Review: Southampton 1 Manchester United 1
Going forward it was clear United were struggling in multiple areas. From a creative standpoint, this was not Paul Pogba's best game, but we shouldn't expect it to have been, especially when deployed so deep in a two-man pivot.

As the final whistle blew at St. Mary's many fans were left dismayed at another poor Manchester United result. The failure to beat a 10-man Southampton side means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now only won 3 out of his last 16 games, and right or wrong, the pressure is on.
United seemed comfortable in the first half, and Daniel James 3rd goal of the season helped to settle the nerves for the Red Devils away at a lively stadium. Similar to the Wolves game, United initially didn't look to be phased away from home, remaining calm on the ball, passing out from the back, defending and attacking as a coherent unit.
"Goals change matches" is often an overused saying, but here it proved true. Just like at Molineux, and at Old Trafford, the Red Devils looked more like lost souls as they struggled to settle back into the game, even with Southampton going down to 10 men.
What this showed was the lack of experience and leadership in United's side. Even with a 34-year-old Ashley Young coming in, United still played with one of the youngest premier league sides over the weekend.
Solskjaer may have done well to rid United of its deadwood in one window, but in this game it was clear to see how much the team still needed improvement. Perhaps Ander Herrera would have provided the tenacity and nous to get Paul Pogba further up the pitch where he's best suited. Maybe Romelu Lukaku would have scored from one of Daniel James' crosses at the end. But these players are no longer here, and Solskjaer can't deal in hypotheticals, he must get something else out of what he has.
Firstly we must analyse what we can from the game, in order to see where maybe Solskjaer can improve his side. Going forward it was clear United were struggling in multiple areas. From a creative standpoint, this was not Paul Pogba's best game, but we shouldn't expect it to have been, especially when deployed so deep in a two-man pivot. It wasn't at all surprising to see Pogba do better on the ball once Nemanja Matic came on, and Pogba was pushed up the pitch.
The World Cup winner delivered his best performances under Solskjaer when he was given more of a free role, and with Fred up to speed after the international break, perhaps we may see the 50 million pound man get more of a chance. Alternatively Matic could come in against more physical route one sides and provide added aerial protection to Lindelof. An outside option, but one many fans could support would be the introduction of James Garner. The 18 year-old has shone in the u23's this season, being involved in 1.3 goals a game, whilst his side have only conceded 2 goals in 5 games. The defensive midfielder is tenacious and aggressive in the tackle, but also seems to have the nous to run the midfield, whilst possessing an incredible long-range pass, and in this side could help to share the responsibility with Paul Pogba to kickstart United's attacks.
Further up the pitch, Juan Mata and Andreas Pereira both started brightly, giving United more control on the ball than against Crystal Palace. But as the game went on they were often dispossessed, and had little overall impact on the game. Many fans have been calling out for Angel Gomes, and it's not hard to see why. The diminutive attacking midfielder impressed greatly on United's pre season tour, and the night before the Southampton match scored an impressive long-range goal, after beating a couple players, against West Ham's u23 side. As we often see with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, smaller attacking players like David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus and more, can be useful in breaking down low block compact defences, with intricate one touch play – and in that sense Angel Gomes can be similar. His agility, balance and skill on the ball means he doesn't need to worry about his physicality when beating opponents, and his vision and weight of pass means he can be a reliable creator in the final third.
Up top, the debate of who should primarily play up front for Manchester United should now be settled. It was evident on Saturday that Rashford was not good with his back to goal, his hold up play was lacking and he doesn't seem to have the poacher's instincts to make those "tap in" or "scruffy" goals. Rashford is key to Solskjaer's system, providing incredible pace on the counter and his ability to get in behind, and maybe yes the perfect man to coach the striker's ability in the box is Solskjaer, but Saturday's performance showed just how vital Anthony Martial could be to United this season. The young French forward impressed with his hold up play in all the games he's been apart of so far this season, controlling the ball with his back to opponents, and often bringing others into play, whilst also scoring a poacher's goal. In should step Mason Greenwood, the 17 year-old's outrageous goal record in the academy highlights his natural finishing ability, able to score with either foot, and natural killer instinct in the final third.
All these additions of course make United younger, but maybe we should be patient. Of course this will be a long process, and it's clear Solskjaer is building for the future, as shown not only by his signings, but by who he has let go too. Olé needs time, but will it be given to him? The board, and more so Ed Woodward, seem to have made a rod for their own back with the appointment of the Norwegian, as it's highly improbable that the fans would turn to their club legend with disappointment and anger before directing it towards the board. But to the outside world, the pressure is on – rightly or wrongly, managers are judged on results.
Like their previous three games, Manchester United should have had a victory based on xG, expected goals. In fact, United are 1st in the league for xG against, and 4th for xG scored, meaning overall based on performances alone, United should be in 2nd place right now. But as often is the case with data, context has to be provided. It may show the performances are there, but the results are far from it. United have to take their chances more clinically, and manage games better when faced with adversity.
Perhaps a positive can be taken from the fact that top 4 rivals Chelsea and Arsenal also slipped up on the weekend. But some would argue, and rightfully so, that this makes the result even more bitter, as Solskjaer's men on three occasions could have gained an advantage over their Rivals. What's more their next opponents are Leicester City, who have already shown this season their ambitions of potentially breaking into the so called "Top 6". Manchester United need to bounce back, and with the games coming thick and fast, perhaps we'll be able to judge how well this side will fare this season.

1 What is the process of protein synthesis also called?
2 What is the name of the first stage of protein synthesis?
3 What is the second step in protein synthesis called?
4 What is step two in protein synthesis?
5 What are the first steps in protein synthesis?
Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).
What is the first step of protein synthesis called and what happens?
The first step of protein synthesis is called Transcription. It occurs in the nucleus. During transcription, mRNA transcribes (copies) DNA. DNA is "unzipped" and the mRNA strand copies a strand of DNA.
What are the three stages of protein synthesis?
Much like the processes of DNA replication and transcription, translation consists of three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. Initiation takes place with the binding of a ribosome to an mRNA transcript.
What is the name of the first stage of protein synthesis?
Transcription is the first step in protein synthesis. It takes place in the nucleus. During transcription, a strand of DNA is copied to make a strand of mRNA.
What occurs during the stage of protein synthesis called translation?
Translation occurs at the ribosome, which consists of rRNA and proteins. In translation, the instructions in mRNA are read, and tRNA brings the correct sequence of amino acids to the ribosome. Then, rRNA helps bonds form between the amino acids, producing a polypeptide chain.
What is the second step of protein synthesis called?
Translation is the second part of protein synthesis. Once transcription and the following processing are complete, translation is initiated. This is where the newly created mRNA's genetic code is read and used to produce proteins. Once mRNA leaves the nucleus it travels to a ribosome.
What is the second step in protein synthesis called?
What occurs during the stage of protein synthesis called translation quizlet?
Translation is the process of converting the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA into a language that is understood by protein-making machinery and it occurs in the ribosomes of a cell.
What occurs during translation?
What happens during translation? During translation, a ribosome uses the sequence of codons in mRNA to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain. The correct amino acids are brought to the ribosome by tRNA. The decoding of an mRNA message into a protein is a process known carries out both these tasks.
What is step two in protein synthesis?
mRNA Translation Is The Second Step Of Protein Synthesis During the transcription, the information encoded in the DNA is copied to a messenger RNA sequence (mRNA), which then can move through the nucleus membrane and can reach the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
What happens during the second phase of protein synthesis called translation?
What occurs during the stages of protein synthesis called translation?
The three steps of protein synthesis are transcription, RNA processing, and translation. During transcription, DNA is transcribed into an mRNA molecule.
What are the first steps in protein synthesis?
Protein Synthesis. Steps in Protein Synthesis: STEP 1: The first step in protein synthesis is the transcription of mRNA from a DNA gene in the nucleus. At some other prior time, the various other types of RNA have been synthesized using the appropriate DNA. The RNAs migrate from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
What is protein synthesis and how does it work?
Protein synthesis is the process by which individual cells construct proteins. Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and all types of ribonucleic acid (RNA) are involved in this process. Enzymes in the cell's nucleus begin the process of synthesizing protein by unwinding the needed section of DNA, so that RNA can be made.
Which pathway correctly represents protein synthesis?
mRNA is then translated to form protein ( polypeptide) at the site called ribosome . This process of conversion of mRNA to protein is called translation. Thus, the correct pathway for the protein synthesis is- DNA to RNA to proteins.

It's been AGES since your last letter. I have a thousand questions to ask you, but I think I'll just ask the really important ones. Like... where in Neopia are you and your friends now? What are you up to this time? What's wrong with Terror Mountain that's making all of you stay so long there – assuming you're still battling blizzards and stomping through snow? Would it have anything to do with the Snowager's disappearance, which currently plagues the Neopian Times and neighborhood gossip? And most of all... are you eating three square meals a day?
Never mind. Mother (she asked me if you're eating three square meals a day) just handed me the latest issue of the Neopian Times and the Terror Mountain thing made the front page. As usual. But still... do you three have to go through it yourselves? On second thought, next question.
You better come home after that, or else I'll march up there and drag you back to Meridell by your neck. I swear by this whittling knife you gave me for my birthday.
Speaking of knives, business is booming. I actually had a line once, and everyone in it wanted a knife. It was exciting, if exhausting. I was glad to have some volunteers help out with things like tallying the profits and arranging the goods. Only... I have no idea what to do with the extra money I earned. I mean, there really isn't anything I want to buy. Even Mother's telling me not to get anything for her.
I feel like I haven't seen you in an eternity and a half. Actually, it does feel like an eternity and a half. Successful business and good company aside, it's boring here in Trestin without you. But don't fret – Ruben and Andrea, especially Andrea, keep my ego in check, but I'm sure you'll want that old job of yours back when you return. Your friends don't sound like they need someone to keep their heads from ballooning, and you're a really modest one, you know that?
Don't let that get into your head. After all, I think you've still got a long way to go before you finish whatever you're supposed to.
But I know you can do it. Just hang in there... and remember that Mother and I are always here, waiting for you. And everyone else. I'm just too lazy to list names down right now. My fingers hurt – I've been whittling bows all day. Speaking of bows, I'd like to know just how good Talinia's aim is. I don't know – it's just a thought.
Honestly, I have no clue as to what you're doing. Are you saving a damsel in distress like the heroes in those faerie tales Mother told us while we curled up in bed? You better not be hunting for some legendary treasure that you only overheard from old guys in taverns – unless there's real proof that it exists. And don't kill yourself. I can't count the number of times I've told you that.
I'm betting you're saving someone. It's just like you to do that. I may not know what business you've got in Terror Mountain, but I still know you. I'm your older brother, after all. I can't help it.
By the way, guess who I found in the Neopian Times? That's right – I found myself staring at your face.
Wait, according to the article, you three found a lost kid in Happy Valley, and the entire village was totally indebted to you. The kid's mother was actually sobbing on your shoulder. I can just imagine someone trying to gently pry her off so they can get a good shot of you for the Times... or they just didn't want her to make your armor rust. You're even more like Father now.
For one thing, you're always saving everyone. Do yourself a favor – save yourself and get back here.
Oh, wait, I forgot. You're also very stubborn and you don't like listening to your big brother. And you insist on finishing everything you start, so I'll play the role of the supportive brother, sit back here and wait for you to come back so I can start bragging to everyone about how great and heroic and chivalrous you are. After all, there are only two things I can do right now – complain or clam up.
I'll clam up and cheer for you. Besides, complaining is a waste of time. I could spend that time figuring out how to forge this curved blade for Ruben. His birthday's coming up, you see, and this is a great way to show my thanks for always helping me with my business. We hit a sort of slump for a while, but it was a nice rest for me. Then the clients came back as though they just vacationed on Mystery Island.
You're the talk of the village again. Parents are definitely going to trust you with their kids. You could start a business of your own – as a babysitter.
Seriously, I'm proud of you, all right? They better give you free nights at the inn and free stuff too, they should be aware of what you're doing for them.
The white Blumaroo looked up from his desk. Several sheets were scattered on the surface, bearing his slightly untidy scrawl and a few smudges here and there in black ink. He blinked several times and stretched, wondering how long he had been writing – or better yet, how long the letter was now. Turning around, he found his mother standing in the doorway, an older, female version of him.
Melissa sighed thoughtfully, gave him a small smile and held out an envelope addressed to both of them.

'9-1-1: Lone Star's Ronen Rubinstein Teases A 'Major Challenge' For T.K. & Carlos In Season 2
Avery Thompson
Entertainment Director
'9-1-1: Lone Star' season 2 kicks off Jan. 18. HL spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Ronen Rubinstein about all things Tarlos, T.K.'s mom, and the '9-1-1' crossover.
The one-two punch of 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star makes for must-see Monday night TV. Season 2 of 9-1-1: Lone Star premieres Jan. 18, and HollywoodLife got the EXCLUSIVE scoop from Ronen Rubinstein about what's ahead for T.K. Get ready for lots of T.K. and Carlos relationship goodness in season 2.
Ronen revealed that T.K. and Carlos will be taking a big step in their relationship when T.K. meets Carlos's parents in season 2. He also teased the upcoming volcano that T.K., Owen, and the rest of the crew will have to battle, as well as T.K.'s relationship with this mother. The highly-anticipated 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star crossover is coming up, and Ronen revealed there are "interesting dynamics" between Buck and T.K. Read our full interview below:
T.K. and the rest of the crew in a season 2 scene. (FOX)
How is T.K. doing in season 2 when the show picks up? Where is he at mentally after getting shot at the end of last season and figuring out what he wants to do with his life?
Ronen Rubinstein: I think relatively T.K.'s doing pretty great. It's funny, literally minutes before this phone call, they just dropped a huge Tarlos promo on Instagram. So that should give you a pretty good idea of how T.K. is doing. But I think he's pretty happy. He's definitely happy with Carlos. He is definitely relieved that his dad's treatments are getting better. I think the big thing in episode 10 was him realizing that this is his calling and that he truly wants to be here and to be a first responder and to be with his crew. So I think he's really comfortable in his own skin for the first time in a very long time.
We have to talk about Tarlos. We saw their relationship blossom over the course of that first season. What can you tease about their journey this season and their next steps?
Ronen Rubinstein: They're officially 100 percent a couple. They are very much there for each other. They are going to go through a lot together, both on the job and off the job. I meet Carlos's parents, which is amazing. I know that was a big thing that everyone was hoping for and what we were hoping for. Personally, as a fan of the show, I really want to know more about Carlos and his backstory. So I'm really glad that we're bringing the parents in. He meets my mom and, obviously, Owen is very familiar with Carlos and likes him very much. I think we're past the honeymoon phase of a relationship, and we're very much in the swing of things. They're just a really sweet, caring couple, at least in the beginning of the show. I don't know very much going past that.
So no major challenges right away for them at least?
Ronen Rubinstein: Well, I think a major challenge for them and for everybody is going to be we lose somebody early on the season. I can't obviously say who, but I think that's going to be a challenge for everybody. I think that sort of sticks out to me the most.
Rafael Silva stars as Carlos. (FOX)
You brought up T.K.'s mom, who is played by the amazing Lisa Edelstein. What is T.K.'s relationship like with his mother?
Ronen Rubinstein: It's amazing. There's definitely a distinct relationship between her and how T.K. is with Owen. They're both very comfortable, very loving. I was always wondering last season if there was going to be a really distinct difference between them. But it seems to be that his mom is just as supportive and just as loving as Owen. It seems to be that the divorce didn't really affect them in a negative way. I think that's why that storyline of T.K.'s mom and dad getting sort of back together is going to work because there was never any bad blood.
So T.K. would be all on board for them to get back together?
Ronen Rubinstein: We'll see. That's actually something that we're definitely going to explore. It's a little weird because they haven't been together in a very long time, and T.K. is very much an adult now. But I think at the end of the day, he just wants them to be happy. If they can make it work, I think he supports whatever decision they make.
We see in the promos that there's going to be a volcano in Austin. What else can you tease about the cases and life-altering events the crew will face in season 2?
Ronen Rubinstein: This show is so big and exciting. They really did not hold back this season. I'm so relieved that with COVID and everything affecting productions that they did not hold back. We literally see the volcano I think at the end of the first episode, so everything starts very fast. We lose a member very, very quickly, as well. The fans are definitely not going to be disappointed. If anything, they are continuing the momentum that we had last season. It seems like we're only getting bigger. The rescues are only getting bigger and more complex.
Lisa Edelstein joins the show of TK's mother. (FOX)
There is a 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star crossover coming up. Who is T.K. going to get along with when it comes to the LA squad?
Ronen Rubinstein: The crossover will be episode 3. It's going to premiere on February 1. With the release of a very specific photo, I think people could sort of insinuate that T.K. and Buck are going to have a storyline. It's going to be one hell of a storyline. I'm very, very, very glad they put T.K. and Buck together. There are very interesting dynamics to explore, and I think people will be very, very excited about that.
Gina Torres has joined the show in season 2. How is her character going to shake things up?
Ronen Rubinstein: She adds such an epic dynamic to the show. We're going to see that Tommy is very much a badass. She's probably the best at what she does. She's going to be an incredible addition to the team, and she'll also have a very exciting storyline of her own. We're going to explore her trouble with her family and dealing with COVID and having to go back into the workforce. I think she was retired before we see her. There's so much interesting stuff to explore with Gina and, again, as an actress, it's just another incredible veteran on set. It makes work so much more fun and so much more exhilarating and productive.
How does Lone Star deal with COVID?
Ronen Rubinstein: We're very much in it. I think the writers were trying to be a little hopeful. You'll notice in some scenes for indoors some people will have masks and some people won't. I think the writers are sort of insinuating that it's a little better than what it is right now. We didn't want to completely abandon it because I just don't think it would be the right thing to do, especially because it's something that everybody's dealing with, especially first responders. So I think it was the respectful thing to do. But I do think they were being a little bit optimistic as to the situation, at least in Austin. I hope we can get to that point soon. But we're definitely in it, that's for sure.

Mary Bottari, Center for Media and Democracy's Deputy Director is an experienced policy wonk and consumer advocate. When "too-big-to-fail" financial service institutions collapsed the global economy, like most Americans, Mary was steamed. When financial reform legislation started winding its way through Congress, Wall Street wizardry put too many of the policy debates out of reach of average Americans. Mary launched the "Real Economy" project at CMD, where she has worked hard to demystify complex issues (synthetic derivatives anyone?) and give average Americans a role in shaping the policy solutions being debated in Congress.
To engage the netroots, she launched the BanksterUSA.org website. At BanksterUSA she gained a following for making complex banking issues simple and fun, and for poking fun at the big banks and government officials for their weak reform proposals and outrageous efforts to spin the financial crisis. When the big banks tried to tidy up their images with ridiculous PR campaigns she coined the term "greedwashing" and started giving big bank spinmeisters "Golden Throne" awards (yes that kind of throne) in commemoration of Merrill Lynch's $2 million bathroom redo.
Her project publishes the only monthly tally of the Total Wall Street Bailout Cost ($4.7 trillion with $2 trillion outstanding) in the SourceWatch wiki, CMD's flagship publication with over 6 million visitors a year. This work has been used by CNN, Bill Moyers Journal, MSNBC, and is featured in Dollars and Sense Magazine.
Prior to coming to CMD, Mary worked for ten years as senior analyst in Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch Division publishing many studies on financial services, health care policy, toxics regulation, food safety and the environment. She worked in politics for many years, in the Wisconsin Senate and in the U.S. Senate as press secretary to U.S. Senator Russ Feingold. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with her husband John Nichols, of The Nation, and daughter.
Mary is CMD's Deputy Director and also the Director of CMD's Real Economy Project and BanksterUSA. She served as a Senior Analyst in Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch.

Customer R. on 12/22/2011 The book is of very high quality printing. The pictures add a sense of awe and humbling gratitude to Allah for making creation in so many varieties. Everyone from a grandfather to a young child can enjoy and learn of the great creations and miracles of Allah in science and nature.


Thank you for all your efforts with the children's Dress Up day last Monday; it was a huge success and really excited the children for their new unit of learning.
Please could parents make sure all children have a suitable coat for the cold weather and are wearing appropriate school uniform. Please refer to this week's newsletter in which Mrs Passante outlines suitable clothing to wear to keep warm in the colder weather.
Academic Review Evenings will take place on the 26th and 27th of January from 17.00 – 20.00. You have received an email outlining how to book an appointment to meet with your child's teachers; we look forward to seeing you all soon.
Next week, children will continue to focus on their understanding of the use of cohesive devices within their writing. We will revisit the use of fronted adverbials (including time and place adverbials) along with conjunctions and combine this with the use of expanded noun phrases to build cohesion within sentences. Children will work towards producing an extended piece of writing at the end of the week. Within Reading, children will study books which are structured in different ways and develop an understanding of reasons for reading for a range of purposes.
To use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination.
To compare and order fractions, including fractions >1.
To associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents for a simple fraction.
To recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts.
To add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions.
Children will all be given opportunities to work on these objectives independently to demonstrate their understanding as well as working collaboratively to develop knowledge and use the skills of solving fraction problems in real life contexts.
Continuing with our unit of evolution and inheritance, children will develop their knowledge of evolution across the timeline. Each class will develop their timeline and investigate the importance of fossils. In conjunction with this, children will develop their understanding of food chains and focus on the objectives of understanding how animals survive, how humans evolve, how we are unique and how we change. There will be a number of different research techniques which children will explore, including scanning QR codes to take them to specific websites. Children will also develop their skills in how they deliver and present their information and learning.

Jeffrey Wright Talks Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves "The Batman" with Collider
Collider recently interviewed Jeffrey Wright about Westworld during which he provided some details on The Batman. Here's what Jeffrey shared:
When it comes to The Batman, how would you say that your James Gordon compares to previous on screen iterations of that character?
WRIGHT: There have been some really wonderful actors who have played this role. Gary Oldman, who I first worked with on Basquiat, is one of my absolute, very specific inspirations, early on, as a young actor. He inhabits a shelf unto himself, in my regard. So, I'm pretty stoked to have been asked to play a role that he played, and other great actors, but I don't think that a comparison would be justified. The reason being is because what's wonderful about these iterations of Batman is that they go back to 1939, and there's been an evolution of these characters, since the beginning. The characters and the stories have reflected the times and social dynamics, in which they were created. As far as the films go, the characters, I feel, are very much specific to the interpretation of Gotham. And so, what I do is going to be very specific to Matt Reeves' vision of Gotham, and it's going to be reflective of what Robert Pattinson's Batman is going to be. To pluck one character out of the whole, is a forced idea. All of us are working together to create a tone and a language and an energy and a vibe that is specific to our film. That's what we were in the middle of doing when the alarm sounded that at least we Americans needed to get the hell out of there, so that we could get back home. That's where we are right now, very much in the middle of things. [My emphasis]

Lukovica pri Brezovici (; ) is a settlement southwest of Ljubljana in the Municipality of Log-Dragomer in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.

Geography
Lukovica pri Brezovici is an elongated settlement on both sides of the old road from Ljubljana to Vrhnika. Fat Peak (, ) rises to the north, and the Ljubljana Marsh lies to the south; the village's territory encompasses a large area of the marsh known as Big Bog (). Most of the fields belonging to the village lie to the south, where the soil is boggy, and in places loamy and damp. There are also some fields on the slope of Fat Peak above the village.

Name
Lukovica pri Brezovici was attested in written sources in 1431 as Lukowicz (and as Lukobicz in 1479). The name is probably derived from the common noun luk 'leek, onion, garlic', referring to the local vegetation. The name of the settlement was changed from Lukovica to Lukovica pri Brezovici in 1955. In the past the German name was Lukowitz.

Don't Google it or look it up on WebMd. I made it up.
Let's look at boredom intolerance. To start, If 100 kids (or adults for that matter) were asked, "How many of you would like to take part in a boring lecture today," I would venture to say that not a hand would go up? If the same kids were asked, "How many of you think you could tolerate a boring lecture," I would predict a fair number (perhaps about 50%) could tolerate the lecture.
Children with executive function issues (i.e., problems with initiating activity, sustaining mental effort, and inattentiveness among other behaviors) typically have great difficulty managing their boredom.
Reports from parents describe it well.
Not so with our heroes who have BID. There is little to no "self-talking" or "self-calming" strategies (common shrink terms). They react to the boredom almost instantaneously. They must get out of the situation. "It's sooooooo boring." It's intolerable.
Tolerating boredom is a skill to be learned and practiced.
It's boring out there. We have to help them deal with it.
Learning to tolerate boredom by degrees goes a long way.

The Daily Mail is accusing others of divisiveness!
The Daily Mail is a hateful and divisive hard-right propaganda rag that deliberately stokes divisions in society in order to deflect criticism away from the mega-rich establishment class (like their tax-dodging billionaire owner Jonathan Harmsworth, and the Tory political establishment they promote so relentlessly).
So it's particularly ironic to see the Daily Mail run a front page splash about how Facebook is supposedly "ripping society apart".
Anyone with a few brain cells to rub together knows that the main purpose of the Daily Mail is to rip society apart as much as possible in order to prevent solidarity forming between the lower orders, because they know as well as we do that if the British people actually stood together for once and demanded change, the tiny self-serving cabal of establishment elitists would be powerless to stop us because we massively outnumber them.
So they divide and divide and divide. They continually stoke hatred of immigrants, Muslims, single mothers, the unemployed, refugees, students, judges, public sector workers, Millenials, academics, and anyone who expresses even remotely left-wing or liberal ideas.
The central purpose of the Daily Mail is to continually divide society, yet here they are damning Facebook for "ripping society apart" on their front page on the very same day that Rupert Murdoch's biggest propaganda rag launched their own front page attack on Twitter.
Once we see this front page Daily Mail attack on Facebook as part of a concerted mainstream media campaign against social media, we get to the main point of it.
The Daily Mail hate Facebook and other forms of social media because they give a voice to other people. Social media gives a voice to people like me to point out what a vile extreme-right propaganda rag the Daily Mail is; their history of promoting fascism and praising Adolf Hitler; their support for modern day fascists like Norbert Hoffer in Austria, their contempt for democracy and the rule of law; their call for Jeremy Corbyn to be killed just weeks after Jo Cox was murdered in the street, the fact they've been banned from Wikipedia as an unreliable source; the racist, sexist and homophobic attitudes they continually promote; and the way they regularly ridicule the credulity of their own damned readers.
Despite being one of the most hateful and divisive publications in Britain, there are many at the Daily Mail who actually consider themselves to be the rightful gatekeepers of public discourse. So it fills them with impotent rage that social media is allowing other people to express dissenting opinions, and undermine the enormous power and influence of the right-wing billionaire press barons they work for.
Of course Facebook and Twitter are not perfect. Anyone who has ever ventured into the extreme-right Britain First hate chamber will know the kind of terrifying depravity that these companies host on their sites, yet the extreme-right, immigrant-hating, anti-Muslim, ultra-nationalist hate fest that is Britain First is simply a purer distillation of the hatred that Daily Mail hacks have spent decades deliberately stoking.
The Daily Mail can't really be angry at the existence of hatefests like Britain First, other than for the fact that they're stealing the target audience of hate-filled, extreme-right, white supremacist halfwits they've spent decades cultivating for themselves.
This furious front page splash is proof that Facebook and other social media sites are an absolute disaster for the Daily Mail.
Not only does social media provide a platform to decent people to stand up and offer alternatives to the divisive, hard-right, pro-establishment propaganda that the Daily Mail and the rest of the right-wing press churn out on an industrial scale, social media also provides a platform for extreme-right fanatics like the Britain First mob to steal and further-radicalise the Daily Mail's own core audience of angry hate-filled right-wingers.
So social media is undermining the power of the Daily Mail from both ends.
The direction of travel is obvious now. The Internet is breaking down the walled ideological gardens of the past. Only the older generations and the technology averse still turn to a single source like the Daily Mail for their news. Ever more people are obtaining their news from myriad different sources via our social media feeds, which may include the occasional Daily Mail article, but alongside all sorts of other stuff, including independent media pages like this one.
The Daily Mail hacks are like the Luddites who wanted to reverse the industrial revolution by smashing milling equipment. They're furiously decrying social media because they desperately want the social media cake to be unbaked and returned to its neatly segregated ingredients like it was before.
This anti-Facebook headline is another piece of evidence that the right-wing propaganda barons and their mercenary hacks are losing their vice-like influence over British political discourse, and the mix of terror and impotent fury this erosion of influence is provoking in them is an absolute joy to behold.

German rail operator Deutsche Bahn is set to start exploring options to sell its UK-based wholly-owned subsidiary Arriva.
In a statement, Deutsche Bahn said: "The Supervisory Board instructed the Management Board today to assess the option of selling up to 100% of the shares in Arriva to one or more investors and the option of an IPO.
Arriva currently manages bus and train services across 14 countries in Europe. It also owns Grand Central, an open-access operator of train services in the UK, which runs trains between Sunderland and London.
The company posted revenues of €5.44bn (£4.62bn) last year and has a workforce of approximately 53,000 staff across Europe.
Deutsche Bahn said that a decision on whether to go ahead with the sale of Arriva is likely to be made in September this year. Recently, media sources reported that the Government of Germany is planning to spend approximately $57bn through Deutsche Bahn to modernise the national rail network over the next decade.
In February, Deutsche Bahn announced that it will invest $12.1bn this year to modernise the railway network across Germany.

Williams' Blood è un singolo della cantante giamaicana Grace Jones pubblicato nel 2008 come secondo singolo dell'album Hurricane.

Descrizione
Il brano è stato scritto dalla cantante e dal duo pop Wendy & Lisa, segnando una commistione di generi tra R&B, gospel e musica elettronica. Il brano descrive il rapporto della cantante con la sua famiglia, in particolare con la madre, moglie di un predicatore battista, ed il suo rapporto con quest'ultimo e le rigide regole religiose ricevute da bambina, il contrasto della sua educazione con la sua immagine pubblica e sulla fede in generale

La canzone fu pubblicata globalmente in digitale, con alcune edizioni promozionali in CD e 12", remixata da Mad Professor, Greg Wilson, Ivor Guest e Aeroplane, ma commercialmente non ebbe alcun impatto nelle classifiche, posizionandosi alla posizione 44 in Belgio, e alla 131 nel Regno Unito.

Videoclip musicale
Entrò in produzione un videoclip diretto da Chris Cunningham che rimase inedito, mentre fu utilizzato come video ufficiale la performance della cantante al Meltdown Festival sovrapposta alla base studio della canzone.

The RØDE VideoMic Pro was voted 2017 best on-camera microphone by professionals and hobbyists alike. Backed by a ten-year warranty you are now ready to deliver the cleanest audio possible for your tapes.
In the simplest terms this VideoMic is the Beyonce of its world… Legendary and the leader in Sound. RØDE Australia have been building and developing the ideal mic for your tapes since 1967 and if you've got a keen eye you've almost certainly seen one in use by the top Youtubers and have heard the results in more places than you can imagine.
"Capsule" is the heart of the mic where a thin material is moved by changes in air pressure. These changes are then converted into an electric signal that is recorded and replayed as sound. The Rode Video Mic Pro has a "condenser" capsule for ultimate sensitivity which outputs in "stereo" which provides a sense of space rather than flat and one-dimensional sound.
The Rycote Lyre shock-mount is a stabilising system. Like a caring Mother it takes the microphone in its arms and projects it from shakes and rattles which would otherwise show up on the recording (because the mic is so sensitive.) Usually shock mounts wear out over time but the RØDE mic system is built to last a lifetime.
Finally the "Pad" switch is for making the signal on the mic louder or quieter. Cameras automatically "compress" the audio (making quiet noises loud enough to hear and loud noises quieter so the don't distort.) The pad switch is for when you can't seem to get the recordings quiet or loud enough no matter what you do (whispering or shouting scenes, for example.) In those cases "Pad" is your best friend. Any other time you'd leave the switch right in the middle at "0".
For further specifications click the next tab over.
Now… If you're still with us… On to the techy stuff!
The RØDE VideoMic Pro is a true shotgun microphone designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras and portable audio recorders as a source of primary and reference audio.
At the heart of the VideoMic Pro is an all-new 1/2″ condenser capsule that provides broadcast-quality audio via a 3.5mm minijack connector (outputting the mono signal to both left and right channels) with an incredibly low self-noise of just 14db. A super-cardioid polar pattern ensures that surrounding audio is minimised, and your recording is focused on the subject in front of the camera.
The integrated Rycote Lyre based shock mounting system separates the VideoMic Pro capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.
Easily accessible on the rear face of the microphone are the power, filter and level controls. In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded.
Below these controls are the level settings, which attenuate or boost the recorded level as required. The -10dB level attenuation (or PAD) is ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to the camera. The +20dB level boost is designed for use with DSLR cameras, allowing the user to reduce the camera's preamp level (or mic-input level), effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's comparatively low quality audio circuitry.
The microphone uses a standard sized shoe mount for on camera use, and features a 3/8″ thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting.
The VideoMic pro is battery powered, and provides over 70 hours recording from a single 9V battery.

The World Economic Forum on ASEAN (WEF ASEAN) is one of the largest multilateral diplomatic events hosted by Vietnam this year, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son.
The WEF ASEAN, scheduled to take place in Hanoi from September 11 to 13, is expected to receive high-ranking government representatives, nearly 1,000 executives of regional- and world-leading corporations and hundreds of reporters from global and regional media outlets to cover the event.
Son, head of the organising board of the event, said that the WEF ASEAN is taking place as the construction of the ASEAN Community has been accelerated, with the world witnessing rapid and complicated developments, along with the fourth industrial revolution impacting the global economy.
He said the theme of the forum "ASEAN 4.0: Entrepreneurship in the fourth industrial revolution" proposed by Vietnam, has gained support of political and business circles and partners, especially ASEAN members, as it is relevant to the ASEAN theme of "resilient and innovative ASEAN".
It also shows the solidarity, dynamism and self-reliance of ASEAN countries in taking advantage of and overcoming challenges from Industry 4.0.
The participation of leaders from various countries and major international organisations, along with the WEF founder and executive chairman, affirms Vietnam's increasing position in ASEAN and the world, especially after the country's successful organisation of the APEC in 2017.
The WEF ASEAN will deepen relations between Vietnam and other countries in the region, Son added. A number of meetings and official visits of foreign leaders to Vietnam will be made during the event to bolster bilateral ties and collaboration.
With the participation of nearly 1,000 international business executives, the WEF ASEAN also offers chances to introduce Vietnam to the world, along with the policies of the Vietnamese Party and State in economic reform, improvement of business climate and start-up development, among others.
In addition, the forum will facilitate access to new ideas and to development trends, particularly of Industry 4.0, serving the country's building and implementation of policies, strategies and plans on socio-economic development and domestic businesses' operation.
The WEF ASEAN is also a festival of ASEAN countries. The organising board has dedicated a space for ASEAN countries to promote themselves, which is a new point in WEF events so far.

Many people say they want to get out of debt but they continue to make the same financial mistakes over and over again.
In this video, I'll tell you 4 of the dumbest things you can do if you want to get out of debt.
These tips and others can be found in my New York Times best-seller, Zero Debt: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Freedom.
Zero Debt is a 30-day action plan for getting out of debt.
If you make any of these four blunders, they can cost you in many ways: You can wind up going further into debt, you can jeopardize personal relationships, and you can also set a bad example for family and friends.
Don't wait until you hit rock bottom – and have a financial catastrophe such as bankruptcy or foreclosure – to decide to get out of debt.
And don't let these crucial mistakes keep you owing money year after year. So without further adieu, here are four of the dumbest things that people do when they're deep in debt.
Hopefully, after watching this video, you won't make these financial and credit mistakes.

Oracle CPQ Cloud does the math, so your sales reps can spend more time in front of customers.

Additional capabilities such as e-signature enable you to deliver a superior customer experience.

Oracle CPQ Cloud optimizes the sales process, reducing cycle times while increasing overall margins.

The Last of Us Tops Another Game of the Decade List Thanks to PlayStation Blog Users
Brianna ReevesFriday, January 10, 2020
Naughty Dog's The Last of Us has topped yet another game of the decade list. This time, the honor is thanks to users on the PlayStation Blog. Recently, the website asked fans to sift through a list of games launched between 2010 and 2019. In doing so, PS Blog users were to select three of their favorites. Now the numbers are in, prompting the blog to share the top 20 picks. The Last of Us reigns supreme on the list, with God of War, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and a pair of Rockstar titles rounding out the top five picks.
Below are the top 20 best games of the last decade, as voted by PlayStation Blog users:
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Nine of the 20 titles are PlayStation exclusives, which is not too surprising given the voting audience. Still, this seems an overall impressive list that covers the gamut of the 2010s' most notable experiences.
Interestingly, the PS Blog users have very similar taste to Metacritic users, who also voted The Last of Us as this past decade's best game. In fact, much of Metacritic's top 10 user-voted list matches that of the PS Blog. The two only differ in that Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End didn't make the Metacritic list.
Ellie's and Joel's next chapter begins in just a few months. The Last of Us Part II will hit the PlayStation 4 on May 29th.

Assisted Suicide in Switzerland: Clarifying Liberties and Claims
Samia A. Hurst & Alex Mauron
Bioethics 30 (9) (2016)
@article{Hurst2016-HURASI-2, year = {2016}, volume = {30}, author = {Samia A. Hurst and Alex Mauron}, journal = {Bioethics}, title = {Assisted Suicide in Switzerland: Clarifying Liberties and Claims}, number = {9}, doi = {10.1111/bioe.12304} }
Hurst, Samia A. & Mauron, Alex (2016). Assisted Suicide in Switzerland: Clarifying Liberties and Claims. Bioethics 30 (9).
Assisting suicide is legal in Switzerland if it is offered without selfish motive to a person with decision-making capacity. Although the 'Swiss model' for suicide assistance has been extensively described in the literature, the formally and informally protected liberties and claims of assistors and recipients of suicide assistance in Switzerland are incompletely captured in the literature. In this article, we describe the package of rights involved in the 'Swiss model' using the framework of Hohfeldian rights as modified by Wenar. After outlining this framework, we dissect the rights involved in suicide assistance in Switzerland, and compare it with the situation in England and Germany. Based on this approach, we conclude that in Switzerland, claim rights exist for those requesting suicide assistance, and for those who are considering providing such assistance, even though no entitlements exist toward suicide assistance. We then describe the implementation of the 'Swiss model' and difficulties arising within it. Clarifying these issues is important to understand the Swiss situation, to evaluate what features of it may or may not be worth correcting or emulating, and to understand how it can impact requests for suicide assistance in other countries due to 'suicide tourism'. It is also important to understand exactly what sets Switzerland apart from other countries with different legislations regarding suicide assistance.

I grew up in Minnesota between the twin cities or Minneapolis/St. Paul and the north shores of the boundary waters. I have always had a deep love for the earth and all her inhabitants, and felt a calling to help "right the wrongs" that our species have been inflicting on our environment and each other. Although, I was called to make a difference at a young age, I wasn't sure where to begin. So I focused on understanding the cause for our human suffering and why we chose to disconnect from our earth. After the birth of my 1st son, I found permaculture and now live on a budding intentional community and permaculture model in Costa Rica.
As soon as I learned about permaculture, I knew I needed to learn more. I had started college for environmental studies, but didn't find what I was looking for as far as solutions for current issues. I took my PDC at ECOSA Institute in Prescott Arizona and was thrilled. I chose that program because it was a month long and I felt I needed more than the standard 2 week course. I developed a great connection with the teacher and felt a deep support in the process. I returned to my home in Minnesota and began simple implementations, but I found restrictions, legal as well as climatic. I had always dreamed of living somewhere with a year round growing season and on an intentional community. So, after my first husband died, I mourned him, healed, and met my present husband, we bought a diesel school bus rv, converted to run on waste veggie oil, and drove south. We eventually found our farm and we live here now. Once we were grounded I returned to the US to do my Permaculture Teacher's Training in Corvallis, Oregon with Cascadia Permaculture.
Finca Fruicion was born from the fruition of our efforts, and we have been blessed with our first community member, Desiree Wells, a permaculture teacher with 10 years experience in Costa Rican jungle permaculture. Together, we are establishing a model for practical permaculture that we can share with the locals to assist them in transforming the current cows and coffee paradigm to a more forest-oriented design. We are also setting up the infrastructure for an intentional community of those interested in being living examples of a sustainable lifestyle. We have set up a grass roots infrastructure to host volunteers, permaculture interns and apprentices. We welcome those interested. We are also interested in setting up a school for youth to learn cooperative oriented, solution based ways of life.
2 week PDC and kid's camp July 2nd - 16th at Finca Fruición in Costa Rica. Followed by a Permaculture in Action tour & practicum. 3 organic, locally grown meals and camping included in the cost.

Looking for new leadership
The new Park Geun-hye administration officially kicks off today amidst growing demands for welfare and "economic justice." Park championed people's happiness as the biggest task of her government. However, given all the hardships that lie ahead, her mission will not be easy to accomplish.
The most pressing issue facing the new administration is without a doubt the security threat from North Korea as Park must deal with a nuclear-armed North Korea now. Moreover, the Park administration must find some feasible solutions to the nuclear danger in the framework of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, the first challenge for her security and diplomacy team should be building up capabilities to counter the North's nuclear threat and at the same time tightening the networks of international collaboration, which will require efforts to boost relations with the new governments in Beijing and Tokyo.
Economic challenges are also one of the most pressing issues for any government. Not having absolutely recovered from the 2008 global financial crisis, the Korean economy still finds itself on a tight rope. Wealth polarization is deepening, and the economic slowdown in Europe and the rapidly weakening Japanese yen are hurting our economy, making it teeter on perhaps a permanent track of low growth. Against that backdrop, it would be almost meaningless to resort to a temporary stimulus package. The answer lies with finding growth engines over the long haul to raise our growth potential. Though the mounting demands for welfare are hard to ignore, Park must figure out how to fund new welfare programs by striking a balance between the demands and the budget through a public consensus.
Last but not least, Park must listen to people's worries about her leadership style. Before it's too late, she must adopt a new leadership style that is less secretive and less wary of communications. Presidential leadership cannot be overemphasized no matter how her decisions relate to people's daily lives. She must demonstrate a new ability to persuade through transparent communication.
The driving force of our industrial achievement for the half-century came from growth-oriented economic policies led by the state. As the times have changed, citizens are clamoring for a welfare state that can bring citizens security. One way to achieve it would be a decisive deviation from Park's father's growth-centered economic policies. We hope the Park Geun-hye government makes a successful transition over the next five years.
