Sporting reflections
Holding a mirror up to football and other sports
99 and out?
Fabio Capello has a reputation for being his own man, and he has wasted no time in emphasising this by omitting David Beckham from his first England squad for the friendly against Switzerland next week, leaving the former captain still on 99 caps.
It's a brave decision. And, dare I say it, the correct one.
If that makes me an emotionless killjoy, then so be it. But what I want to see next week is the likes of Shaun Wright-Phillips and David Bentley have a full 90 minutes to demonstrate whether they are good enough to claim the number 7 shirt for themselves, rather than cram it into 70 to accommodate a carnival cameo.
Notwithstanding Capello's long-term plans, right here, right now, Beckham certainly isn't the first (or even second) choice right-sided midfielder for next week's game. Since England's defeat to Croatia in mid-November, he has played the grand total of zero competitive minutes. It's been longer still since he played a full match. Beckham's ability to deliver a telling ball isn't in question here, but his stamina and effectiveness over anywhere near 90 minutes certainly is.
Of course, it's not necessarily all over for Beckham. It may be that he forces his way back into the squad over the coming months and secures that elusive hundredth cap after all, although his advancing age, declining physical abilities and his isolation in the footballing backwater that is LA would seem to count against this. And if that's the case, so be it.
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against David Beckham, who has been a fantastic servant to his country and has never given less than 100%. And of course it would be nice if he were to complete his century of international appearances. But the thought of him trotting out for 10 or 15 minutes as a sub, just so he can take his bow in front of the Wembley crowd, devalues what it means to play for England, even if it is only a 'meaningless' friendly. (As if any England game is regarded as meaningless by the vultures in the tabloid press!)
David Beckham has earned 99 caps, which is no trivial achievement in itself. If he earns his hundredth on merit, I will be the first to applaud. But international football is a sport, and modern-day sport (as we are always being reminded) is a business, not a charity. Beckham should not be given number 100 out of some misguided sentimentaility, any more than a batsman who has reached 99 would expect to be gifted his century.
Beckham may play in Hollywood now, but that alone doesn't guarantee him the fairy-tale ending. Nor should it.

Maybe Andy Murray will now feel a bit better about his shock first round exit to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga last week, for the Frenchman (a modest 38th in the rankings and, trivia fans, second cousin to Newcastle footballer Charles N'Zogbia) defeated Rafael Nadal 6-2 6-3 6-2 this morning to reach the final of the Australian Open, denying us the resumption of the titanic Federer-Nadal rivalry.
Is it just me, or is tennis in general in pretty rude health at the moment?
If you are attracted by the ultimate battle of wills of two competitors at the very top of their games, then look no further than the men's game, where Roger Federer and Nadal repeatedly stand toe-to-toe against each other on all surfaces, neither giving the other any quarter. Nadal has the edge on clay, Federer on the faster surfaces - although the gap between the two narrows with every passing year, as evidenced by last summer's five-set Wimbledon final, a match as memorable as the great McEnroe-Borg finals of 1980 and '81.
Never in living memory has the men's game been so thoroughly dominated by two players. Between them, Federer and Nadal have won the last 11 Grand Slam singles titles - Federer leads 8-3 - dating back to the 2005 French Open, including four head-to-head battles during that time. And what sets this rivalry apart from McEnroe-Borg is the fact that both players are so strong on every surface: McEnroe always struggled on the clay of Roland Garros, while Borg was 0-4 in finals at Flushing Meadows and never passed the third round in Melbourne. And with Federer still only 26 to Nadal's 21, there is every chance the pair can continue to dominate for the next two or three years.
Behind them, youngsters such as Murray and the Serb Novak Djokovic are waiting impatiently in the wings. The 20-year old Djokovic, who awaits Federer tomorrow, is already the world number three, having reached at least the semi-finals in each of the last four Grand Slams. When Federer finally hangs up his kit bag, Nadal will certainly not have it all his way.
The women's game, on the other hand, can boast the kind of strength in depth it was so often accused of lacking back in the days when first Steffi Graf, then Monica Seles and the Williams sisters steam-rollered all before them. There have been eight different winners of the last 16 Grand Slam singles titles, with only world number one Justine Henin (5 wins) claiming more than two - and even she was unceremoniously dispatched by Maria Sharapova in their quarter-final earlier this week, losing a set 6-0 for the first time in nearly six years. And there is no questioning the depth of talent in a field which includes a nice mix of established and rising stars such as Svetlana Kuznetsova, Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic, Daniela Hantuchova and Marion Bartoli.
With Ivanovic facing Sharapova in Saturday's final, the total could rise to nine different winners in the last 17 Grand Slams. Compare that to the men's game - just four Grand Slam winners in the last 16 tournaments - or to football's English Premier League, where only four teams (Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Blackburn) have claimed the league title in the past 15 years. If you want unpredictability and a deep, competitive field, then women's tennis is where it's at.
Dominant champions or wide-open competition: whatever you want, the professional tennis circuit currently has it all.

Arm's reach of desire
The corporate behemoth which is Coca-Cola once expressed its vision as 'arm's reach of desire', but it is a slogan which could apply equally to either of Super Bowl XLII's participants, the New England Patriots and the New York Giants.
The Patriots showed uncharacteristic vulnerability in last Sunday's stumbling 21-12 AFC Conference Championship victory over the San Diego Chargers, but they nonetheless punched their ticket for the big show in two weeks' time, and in doing so recorded the first 18-win season in NFL history. Not only do they stand one win away from completing the first 'perfect' season since the NFL moved to a 16-game schedule (and only the second ever), but victory over the Giants in Arizona will mark their fourth Super Bowl win in seven years, elevating them to the level of the great Pittsburgh and San Francisco teams of the 70s and 80s.
But New England's ascension to the pantheon of the NFL elite is by no means a foregone conclusion. The Giants will have taken comfort from watching the Patriots' star-studded offense huff and puff against the Chargers. Tom Brady threw just eight interceptions throughout the regular season; on Sunday alone he tossed three. Randy Moss caught 98 passes for an NFL record 23 touchdowns in the regular season; in two postseason games he has just 2 catches and no TDs. And no team has scored as many points against New England this season as the Giants did in a thrilling 38-35 loss in week 17.
The battle-hardened Giants will certainly be no pushovers. They are a far cry from the team who UK fans watched labour to a 13-10 win over the 1-15 Miami Dolphins at a sodden Wembley back in October. In successive weeks, they have won on the road against the NFC's number one and two seeds, first dispatching the Dallas Cowboys - to whom they had lost twice during the regular season - and then, even more impressively, beating the Green Bay Packers in the third coldest game in NFL history (minus-18 degrees C, with a wind chill of minus-31). All this without their biggest offensive weapon, tight end Jeremy Shockey.
For Giants' quarterback Eli Manning, he is now within arm's reach of his deepest desire: to escape from the shadow of his elder brother, Peyton. Both were selected with the first overall pick of the draft (Peyton in 1998, Eli in 2004), with all the weight of expectation which goes with that. But whereas Peyton quickly established himself as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks, even though it took him nine seasons to reach (and win) his first Super Bowl last year, Eli has struggled to excel and has been much maligned throughout his four years in the league. 20 interceptions and middling reviews during the 2007 season have done little to alter the perception of Manning Jr as a passer who is merely competent rather than great: more Carrie Bradshaw than Terry Bradshaw.
However, in the postseason, Eli has been outstanding, completing 62% of his passes and throwing for four touchdowns without interception - stats which compare favourably with the more illustrious Brady. Against all expectations - mine included - he has looked every inch a Super Bowl quarterback, and perhaps for the first time has started to justify his status as a number one overall pick. Now, winning the Super Bowl will not suddenly transform Eli Manning from an ugly duckling into a swan, but it will certainly allow him to hold his head up high and elevate him into the exclusive club of Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks. That's not bad for starters.
Come February 3rd, the Patriots will enter Super Bowl XLII as overwhelming favourites to complete their perfect season. But don't be surprised if the Giants have failed to read the script and produce their own fairy tale ending. Many of the previous 41 Super Bowls have been disappointingly one-sided games - I have a sneaky feeling this one won't be.

Not perfect yet
Although the 2007 season has ended for the majority of the NFL's 32 teams, for the New England Patroits the reality is that it is only just starting.
Such is the pressure and weight of expectation when you have just completed only the fourth 'perfect' (undefeated and untied) regular season in the 78-year history of the NFL, and the first ever to do so over a 16-game schedule.
The Patriots can certainly present a compelling case for themselves as the NFL's best-ever team, having won three of the past six Super Bowls in a league which is specifically structured to encourage parity between teams, with its salary cap, its annual draft which gives the poorest teams priority in selecting the best college players, and a system which penalises stronger clubs by giving them tougher schedules the following season. The 2007 Patriots feature the NFL's fourth-ranked defense, providing the platform for the league's number one offense, which set a new scoring record with 589 points. Quarterback Tom Brady and wide receiver Randy Moss both set new NFL single season marks, with 50 touchdown passes and 23 TD receptions respectively, while Wes Welker snared 112 catches, joint highest for the year. And they have already defeated both the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts (their most likely opponent in the AFC Championship Game) as well as the top-ranked NFC team, the Dallas Cowboys, this season.
(As an aside, things could have been very different for Welker, who had started just three games in the previous three seasons with the Miami Dolphins. While the organisation marked the 35th anniversary of the 'perfect' 1972 squad, the current team embarked on a near-imperfect season, losing their first 13 games and avoiding total ignominy only by virtue of an overtime victory against the Baltimore Ravens.)
Of course, the campaign as a whole will only be considered truly perfect if the Patriots go on to win the Super Bowl on February 3rd and be officially crowned as champions of the NFL, which can by no means be taken for granted. Of the three previous teams to boast a 100% record, only one, the '72 Miami Dolphins, saw the job through to its conclusion. The Chicago Bears twice (1934 and 1942) managed perfect regular seasons, only to come up short in the NFL Championship Game (as it was known in the pre-Super Bowl era).
So it's no small challenge which faces the Patriots over the next few weeks. Now that the regular season has ended, 16-0 no longer counts for anything. And while winning all 16 games so far has been a phenomenal and unique achievement, the pressure of knowing there are still three all-or-nothing games standing between them and sporting immortality must be suffocating. They're not perfect yet, and the biggest struggles are yet to come.
For the next week or so, however, the Patriots can still be regarded as perfection-in-waiting. And the eyes of the sporting world will be waiting eagerly for the story to unfold.

Madness upon madness
No sooner has the madness of the traditional Christmas football programme passed - four games in 11-12 days for the Premier League clubs at a time when all the other major European leagues are enjoying their mid-season winter break - than that other, more recent creation of the powers-that-be - the transfer window - opens.
In both instances, what a waste of effort.
The annual breakneck rush of matches - Saturday/Sunday, Boxing Day, Saturday/Sunday, New Year's Day (or Jan 2nd in a few cases) - has historically benefitted clubs in the lower divisions, who usually experience bigger attendances than at other times of the season. But this is not an argument which holds water for many of the bigger clubs, who regularly play in front of full houses anyway, so there is no financial benefit. The quality of the matches, particularly by the third or fourth round of fixtures, tends to be a couple of notches lower than average. And add to that frequently dismal weather and driving conditions, and limited availability of public transport, and you have to wonder whether tradition and the excitement of lots of games close together outweighs the difficulties it can create for travelling fans, the generally poor quality of the fare on offer, and the fatigue and corresponding risk of injury for the players.
And then we wonder why, come the summer, our national team looks jaded when it comes to the major international tournaments. Still, at least that won't be a problem for England, Scotland, Wales or the two Irelands this year ...
As for the transfer window, isn't the management of a football club difficult enough as it is without the farce of cramming all your mid-season transactions into 31 frantic days? It's not as if this creates less work for managers, scouts and chairmen during the rest of the season. Anyone who thinks clubs spend the time from the end of August to the beginning of January twiddling their thumbs waiting for the strains of Auld Lang Syne to die down before commencing their transfer activity is being impossibly naive. Arsene Wenger, say, doesn't wake up on January 1st, decide he'd quite like to sign Joe Bloggs, make a few phone calls, negotiate terms and then sign on the dotted line. Identifying potential targets is a full-time, year-round job for a manager and his team of scouts, and firm contact (or at least an initial sounding-out) between one club and another (or a player's representative) can take place weeks or even months in advance of January.
Don't believe me? Well, just look at the number of deals which go through in the first few days of the window - very few, if any, of these are anything other than the product of considerable behind-the-scenes negotiation over the preceding weeks. Football is a big money game these days, and transfers which can involve seven (or eight) figure sums are not resolved in a couple of phone calls one afternoon.
If this is the case (which it surely is) it does beg the question of why clubs are forced to complete their transfers in such a short window. Why not simply allow clubs to make transfers at any time up until an agreed deadline, and avoid the yearly melee? Sure, it would mean less speculation and excitement during the month of January, but it would also avoid the all-too-frequent disillusionment which happens a few months down the line when fans realise the striker their club signed in desperation for several million pounds at 11.30pm on January 31st is actually a complete donkey. (Ahem, Michael Ricketts.) Just a thought.

Across America, many parents realize that their children are not receiving the education that they need, yet they do not know how to navigate change in the schools. This timely book provides parents with an overview of the major obstacles that plague our schools today. Gunzelmann graciously offers practical advice to parents such as to first listen carefully to the educational needs and concerns expressed by their children. She then provides different avenues that parents can use to successfully navigate their children's specific academic, emotional and/or health needs in the K–12 schools.
— Diane Connell, professor of education at Rivier College in Nashua, New Hampshire
Hidden Dangers to Kid's Learning: Parent Guide to Cope with Educational Roadblocks serves as an important reminder to parents, teachers and schools: we don't teach reading, science, or mathematics - we teach children. By reading Dr. Gunzelmann's informative book, parents will develop a better understanding of obstacles that could potentially interfere with their child's learning and achievement. How can parents become empowered to be equal and active partners in their child's education? This book provides concrete suggestions for achieving this goal, ensuring that not only their child, but every child, will be afforded the opportunity to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically in our schools.
— Cathy Stavenger, associate professor, School of Education, Southern New Hampshire University
Kudos to Betsy Gunzelmann for opening the blinds and shedding light in a balanced, caring and empowering manner on the hidden dangers that exist in many of our nation's schools and that if unaddressed will continue to impede the learning of our children.Gunzelmann reflects on the importance of a holistic, optimistic, and constructivistic approach to educating our nation's young people and shows how we as students, parents, teachers, administrators and policy makers can take charge of our children's education, how we can move beyond the status quo, and how we can work collaboratively to make positive, lasting change one student and one school at a time. This important and proactive guide is a must read for all parents whether their children are experiencing educational roadblocks or not, whether they have students just entering the school system or closer to graduation. It is never too early or too late to help our children tap into their unique potential and learn to take an active role in their education. It is never too early or too late to be reflective about what quality education means to us and to our children. In fact it is now time to work collaboratively at the local level, as Gunzelmann proposes in her call to action, and to advocate for school
— Elizabeth Fletcher Foy, founder/president, Leadership Teacher, and cofounder, The SESL Challenge
Hidden Dangers to Kids' Learning is every parents vade mecum, a companion book to empower parents as they advocate for their children making their way through the school system. She points out the systems potholes hidden but crippling and its compulsion to identify the problem as the child's, cleverly shifting attention away from where it really belongs: on the entrenched resistance of schools to utilizing the latest research. Gunzelmann sees a new day emerging in education, hope reigniting. But if this is to unfold, it must come up from the grass roots from the parents trusting their own intuitions over the assertions of the experts. This new book flows with a delightful, conversational style that is down to earth, clear, and confident. Her words enable the parent to successfully support his or her child. Gunzelmann's heart is truly in every page.
— Hilary E. Bender, professor emeritus, School of Education, Boston University; core faculty at Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology; and
Gunzelmann provides a lens through which critical components of schools, climate and community, can be examined. She shows us why we cannot take these attributes of schools for granted and why parents and educators must insist on school communities that are safe, welcoming, and poised to assure success for every student.
— Cathy Chesley, founder, Hopkinton Independent School

The Shallow End currently playing at the Southwark Playhouse is an opportunity to revisit this satire on British media with recent events of phone hacking, arrests, resignations and enquiries in mind.
The play is set at the wedding of a media mogul's daughter, who has just brought a broadsheet newspaper and it about to take it downmarket. During the celebrations the axe is about to be weilded on the old guard as debates about about the future of a newspaper in the digital age.
Presented as a series of unrelated scenes, it does feel a little disjointed and overlong as a piece. And it would have been fun to have cast the characters to resemble the current crop of News International players. But it is quite fun to watch nevertheless and fascinating piece to revisit. It runs until 3 March.

Digestive Discomfort? Here's a couple ways to relieve it.
Diarrhea and other digestive problems can be hard physically as well as mentally and emotionally especially for people who suffer daily. Some of these problems are the result of bacteria in food, food sensitivities or allergies, infection, stress, certain medications, or chronic illnesses such as Colitis, Crohns and IBS.
Lacking the proper nutrition can make a bad situation worse so always try to be aware of what you are eating.
Maintaining strong digestive health is important for overall well-being and in many cases, disease prevention.

RoidsPharm.com is legit Dragon Pharma supplier and we offer you to buy legal Winstrol Tabs, as that you can be 100% sure of what you get. Here you can buy high-quality and safe Winstrol Tabs steroids made by well-known manufacturer Dragon Pharma. Ordering Winstrol Tabs online is the fastest way to buy the steroid.
The acquisition of Winstrol Tablets is always a change for the better. Do you want to experience a constant rise in vitality, to receive a continuous flow of energy? Then your choice is this pharmaceutical preparation! It will be an indispensable element of your training, which will definitely lead you to sporting success. The only caveat: doping control can detect the presence of this anabolic in the body of an athlete within a year, so that Winstrol Tabs can not be used during pre-competition period.
- Due to the presence of the main active substance of Stanozolol, the drug has a huge anabolic power (320% of Testosterone).
- Stimulates the formation of erythrocytes, which improves the transit of oxygen to all organs, including muscles.
- Normalizes nitrogen balance (without which muscle growth is impossible).
- Increases appetite, while burning fat deposits, using them as an energy source.
- It does not retain water, so it is simply irreplaceable in drying courses. Provides an increase in strong muscle mass; Gives an excellent drawing of the venous musculature; Helps to design an excellent muscle relief.
- Strengthens the endurance of the body, gives strength and energy.

Q: Ionic 2 button click text box toggle I am a beginner in Ionic. I want to toggle textbox(ion-input) on button click. I am sending the following code it is not working. Please suggest some suggestions to solve them. The openTheTextBox function change the hide boolean variable into its opposite. But every time the ion-input is invisible state.
HTML file
<ion-header>
 <ion-navbar>
 <button ion-button menuToggle>
 <ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
 </button>
 <ion-title>Home</ion-title>
 </ion-navbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content padding>

Ionic Menu Starter

    If you get lost, the docs will show you the way.

 <button ion-button secondary menuToggle round>Toggle Menu</button>

 <button ion-button color="secondary" round full  (click)="openTheTextBox()" >Add </button>

 <ion-input type="text" value="asdasdasd" *ngIf="hide"></ion-input>

 <ion-list>
   <button ion-item *ngFor="let item of DataArray" >
   {{ item.user_name }}
  </button>
 </ion-list>
 </ion-content>

TS File
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { MyDataProvider } from '../../providers/my-data/my-data';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-home',
  templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {

public DataArray: Array<Object>;
public hide: boolean = true;
constructor(public navCtrl:
NavController,myDataProvider:MyDataProvider) {
alert("Home Page");
type Product = { name: string; user_name: string; location: string };
let passDataObject =  { name: "jit", user_name: "j.comp", location:
"kolkata" };
// myDataProvider.saveTablicaToSqlite(passDataObject);
let jitSaveData = myDataProvider.getTablicaMyOfflineData().then(
(result)=>{
this.DataArray = <Array<Object>> result;
alert("Length of the Array is "+this.DataArray.length)
}, (error) => {
console.log("ERROR: ", error);
});

}

openTheTextBox()
{
 alert("openTheTextBox");
 this.hide = !this.hide;
}

}

A: Change your ion-input to this:
<ion-input type="text" value="asdasdasd"  [class.hidden]="hide"></ion-input>

or hide== true. Which ever works for you.
then to your .scss, add:
page-home {
    ion-input.hidden {
        display: none;
    }
}

The point is you have a conditional class for when to apply the class named "hidden". The ngIf is a condition for "if the html shoud be rendered", so if it happens that the tag was not rendered initially because of the condition, then you won't have it rendered anymore. So basically, have it rendered at the first place and just hide it with your boolean property that can be toggled.

What Does It Take to Trigger a Stock-Market Selloff, Anyway?

Boy, that escalated quickly.
Investors ended the previous week hopeful for a quick resolution to the trade dispute between the U.S. and China. Those hopes were dashed after China said it would raise tariffs on U.S. goods and President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning telecommunications equipment built by "foreign adversaries." Further talks between the U.S. and China seem to be off the table for now.

Eugene Cernan subscribed to the Lunar Roving vehicle during the first EVA of Apollo 17.
US Vice President Mike Pence stunned the lunar science community last week with the announcement that at 2024, NASA would send astronauts to the Moon's South Pole, if the Trump Administration and Congress followed through, a mission to this science-rich polar region would offer planetary scientists nothing short of a Revolution in solar system science.
A landing at the South Pole is possible, David Kring, a planetary scientist at Houston's Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI), told me it's on the rim of the 4.2 km deep shackleton crater , some 20 km in diameter and about the size of Houston, he says.
There is also a sunlight for power and the location has a line of sight to Earth which makes for easy communications. have a comm unications relay satellite in lunar orbit.
5 and 17, he says the terrain will seem even more dramatic than the U.S. national parks.
The Orion crew vehicle can carry four astronauts, but the size of the lunar lander has not been defined, says Circle. But he says the idea is to have at least two astronauts on the surface.
The South Pole-Aitken basin, sometimes called the SPA basin, is an enormous 2,500-km diameter, 13 -km-deep impact area. "It is the oldest and largest lunar basin," said Circle. "Our studies suggest the best place to study the South Pole-Aids (SPA) basin is the Schrodinger basin, which sits within the SPA basin."
Out of sight on the far side, Brown University planetary scientist Carle Pieters told me That the SPA is a depression that's great enough to go from Dallas to San Francisco.
"NASA's Grail spacecraft has dramatically reduced our measure of the moon's gravity," said Circle. "So, we will be able to land quite precisely on the lunar surface."
Aitken Basin was produced by a 170-km diameter asteroid impactor says Kring. If that happened on Earth today, it would cause a mass extinction event.
Circle says if new samples determine that the Aitken Basin is relatively close to the age of the Imbrium Basin, which would mean that there was truly a cataclysmic simultaneous bombardment of the Earth and Moon.
"This period in Earth's history has been geologically erased but it is exquisitely preserved on the Moon , "Said Circle.
By determining the cadence of geologic properties that shaped the lunar surface, says Kring, we will be able to determine how the environment of the Earth and Moon was ravaged. This sequence of events, he says, also ended with the fact that we are first able to detect the origin of life on our planet.
The Moon might have had a short-lived atmosphere. That's because so much water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide were potentially released during the Moon's peak basal lava production some 3.5 trillion years ago. Thus, the Moon might have had an atmosphere for millions of years, Jeffrey Taylor, a University of Hawaii planetary scientist, told me.
The rim of Shackleton Crater is illuminated about 90% of the time ; its floor is in permanent shadow, says Taylor. So, she says, from one place you have the energy for long-term exploration and habitation as well as access to permanent shadow and water.
And most importantly, Taylor says, this area of the South polar region allows for reasonably rapid economic development of polar ice as a resource. It would first be used for life support and then as propellant for spacecraft.
"I want the mission to lead to a sustainable presence on the Moon with a mix of commercial and governmental projects and money," said Taylor. "It is the only way we will not just have a one-off mission."
As for the area's specific geology?
Terrain around the South Pole is basically a continuation of the bright 'highlands' that we know from the near side, says Pieters. One has to head only a few hundred kilometers from the pole to the equator on the far side before getting into terrain that might represent really interesting deep stuff, she says. That is, potentially lunar mantle material that has been dug up and processed by the SPA basin's impact history, says Pieters.
"There is no question that the Moon is the best place in the entire solar system to make the greatest advances in our understanding of solar system history, "said Circle. "And the beauty of it is, it's only three days away."

There is also a sunlight for power and the location has a line of sight to Earth which makes for easy communications. 2022, Circle s ays NASA should have a communications relay satellite in lunar orbit.
The South Pole of the Moon is a highland terrain that is topographically dramatic, says Circle. Qualitatively similar to the sites visited by Apollo 15 and 17, he says the terrain will seem even more dramatic than the U.S. national parks.

Q: PMOS Turn-On due to gate capacitance? I just stumbled over a quirk in my simulation. I have a fairly standard PMOS gate drive with a capacitor C1 for controlling inrush current during turn-on.
EN input is normally high and pulled low when fault is detected. Since the fault detection logic is only active after VDD provided by a Zener has stabilized Q1 should be open, but the gate is pulled up by R2. Furthermore, Q2 is controlled by voltage detector that pulls to VDD once the detection circuitry is online, thus Q2 also blocks.
What I don't understand is, how M1 can turn-on by a step on Vin when it's gate is pulled to Vin by R2 and the connection to ground is blocked by Q3.
Also, what can I do against this behaviour? Or is this a non-issue and only present in simulation?
I checked also with rise time up to 10ms but the effect is still there.

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab

A: That's no quirk, it's exactly what would be expected. M1 is turning on when Vin is applied. Any FET can be forced to turn on when a sufficiently high dV/dt is applied from drain to source.  Charge is injected into the gate through \$C_{\text{dg}}\$ (the Miller capacitance) as \$V_{\text{ds}}\$ changes. Gate voltage then exceeds \$V_{\text{th}}\$ and the part conducts as long as dV/dT continues.
If the goal is to slow the rising edge (turn on) of the drain, using and increasing \$C_{\text{dg}}\$ is a good way to do it. It must be realized that sensitivity to dV/dt  will be increased, however. Increasing \$C_{\text{dg}}\$ is especially effective since it is multiplied by FET \$g_{\text{fs}}\$, so less capacitance will be required for a given rise time (compared for example to increasing \$C_{\text{gs}}\$). The problem here is that C1 and R2 are so huge that the circuit will be extremely sensitive to dV/dt.
Older technology FETs have maximum dV/dt ratings specified, usually ~5V/nSec (from the IRFZ44 datasheet for example). Parts could be made to conduct, even with the gate shorted to ground, by applying that type of voltage change across the drain to source. It's possible to use the specified dV/dt and \$C_{\text{dg}}\$ to calculate what the internal \$R_g\$ of those FETs is ... it usually works out to be ~10 Ohms. Who cares about old technology FETs? In this case, the numbers involved will make a nice tool for cocktail napkin analysis.
So, dV/dt = 5V/nSec, \$R_g\$ = 10 Ohms, and \$C_{\text{dg}}\$ = ~100pF. C1 in your circuit augments \$C_{\text{dg}}\$, in effect becomes \$C_{\text{dg}}\$. Since C1 is about 1000 times more than the \$C_{\text{dg}}\$ in the FET, the circuit will be about 1000 times as sensitive to dV/dt as without C1. Or, would turn on with dV/dt of ~50V/uSec, and that's with \$R_g\$ of 10 Ohms. But, \$R_g\$ isn't 10 Ohms in your circuit, instead it's 220 kOhms (R2), which makes the circuit an additional 22,000 times as sensitive to dV/dt. Oh, and must not forget that those were high threshold FETs, so a new lower threshold FET would increase the sensitivity by about a factor of 4. Combined the limit for dV/dt that would be reasonable from a cocktail napkin scribble would be (5V/nSec)/((1,000)(22,000)(4)) or about 57V/Sec.
How slow does the drain rise time need to be? Even C1 of 1000pF would slow the turn on significantly.
For this circuit to be useful though will require Q1 be on while Vin is applied to keep gate impedance and dV/dt sensitivity low.

A: You're just measuring the ~340pF Drain-Source capacitance of M1 to your output load.
It's not really turning on.
If you put a realistically large capacitor on the output (eg. uF) and slow the input rise time to something sensible it should pretty much go away.

Stress is like a bad friend always following you, destroying your body bit by bit. You never really know what stress can do to your body until you have ultimate stress. lately my body has been rebelling against my stress causing me to have odd things happen to me. Such as my brain has a huge headache all the time, my right bottom eye lid feels like it keeps twitching and i have butterflies in my stomach all the time.
Here is information about stress and how to control it.
Not all stress is bad. All animals have a stress response, which can be life-saving in some situations. The nerve chemicals and hormones released during such stressful times, prepares the animal to face a threat or flee to safety. When you face a dangerous situation, your pulse quickens, you breathe faster, your muscles tense, your brain uses more oxygen and increases activity—all functions aimed at survival. In the short term, it can even boost the immune system.
However, with chronic stress, those same nerve chemicals that are life-saving in short bursts can suppress functions that aren't needed for immediate survival. Your immunity is lowered and your digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems stop working normally. Once the threat has passed, other body systems act to restore normal functioning. Problems occur if the stress response goes on too long, such as when the source of stress is constant, or if the response continues after the danger has subsided.

Family Feud Faith: Raising Children in an Interfaith Marriage
by Leah Katz
Driving me home from school one April day in the tenth grade, Mom tried to ease into discussing the essay she had found on my dresser. My heart began to race; I knew exactly what she was talking about. The essay was only a little paragraph I had written during an impromptu writing session at my Jewish religious school on "The Religious Values My Parents Have Taught Me." "Now that's a fun topic," I had mumbled under my breath before starting to write the essay. Mincing no words, I slashed my parents for being, in my eyes, two religious hypocrites. Now tears streamed down Mom's face as she sobbed, saying how much she and my father love my sister and me. I love them too; I would never intentionally do anything to harm them. I had only written this essay for therapeutic reasons; no one else was supposed to read it. I just had needed to get my frustrations out about my insecure religious identity. My mom was raised in the Catholic faith and my dad in the Jewish faith. Dad insisted before they married that Mom agree any future children be raised Jewish. My mom consented, and that was that. The words "religion" and "children" were never spoken in the same sentence again—at least, until the children were born. Once I arrived, however, their simple plan didn't hold up. Sometimes I wonder if my parents were really that naïve, for their hasty arrangement was no more stable than the birdhouse I had once made with Popsicle sticks and Elmer's Glue. My experience demonstrates that a couple raising children in an interfaith marriage must carefully and thoroughly discuss beforehand every detail about the religious education of their children if they want their children to be secure with their identities.
Not surprisingly, when one is dealing with children, open views often become narrower. It didn't take any time to see the monumental flaws in my parents' agreement. After I was born, my mom's promise conveniently slipped her mind, and she started hinting that she would like me to be christened (a service welcoming a baby into the church). My dad stood his ground, insisting I have a Shul (a service giving a baby girl her Hebrew name). Couples often "struggle with this issue" because the place where the child's first religious ceremony is held often determines their "future place of worship" ("Department"). I guess this principle is true: I had a Shul, and I currently worship at the synagogue where my first religious event took place. Nevertheless, from the very beginning, it was apparent that Mom was already regretting her decision.
Neither of my parents was raised in the most religiously tolerant environment. Mom was told that Jews were "Christ Killers," and Dad was told that the Catholics were "Pope and Saint Worshipers." With these old stereotypes ingrained in their minds, my parents didn't attempt to learn the truth about each other's religion. A couple's "respectful attitude toward each other's religious background not only helps the marriage but will also have a positive impact on [their children]" ("Department"). Trying to explain the differences about their parents' religions to a child can prove to be difficult, especially if they are uninformed. As a result, many well-meaning parents either ignore or circumvent the issue, leaving the child with unanswered questions or unsatisfactory answers. I remember trying to ask my dad why we believe in one G-d, "Adonai," but Mom prayed to G-d "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." My dad had no idea and quickly changed the subject to, "So…what did you learn in school today?"
Many experts maintain that children from interfaith marriages should be raised in one place of worship, for "such a decision serves to minimize children's confusion about religion and facilitates religious and spiritual development" ("Department" 2). As may sometimes happen, my parents started to go in different spiritual directions; my mom had stopped attending her Catholic church, opting for a non-denominational Christian path, and my dad's Jewish faith had likewise started to wane. In fact, he became more open to Christianity. For one year, when I was in fourth or fifth grade, I was attending a Jewish religious school during the school year and a Christian Sunday School during the summer. I don't remember much about Sunday school, except for one unsettling lesson. The teacher told us, "You must spread the word of Jesus; because of him you aren't going to hell." Well, talk about confusing an elementary school kid! I had heard the word "Jesus" only when adults uttered a frustrated, "Oh Jesus!" Also, the Jewish faith doesn't include the concept of hell; all I knew then was that hell was a bad word. I felt terrible about not doing what the teacher asked. I had always been taught to obey the teacher, but how could I, when I didn't even know what she was talking about?
Around the time I entered middle school, things really started getting strange. My parents became involved with a group that soon began to control every aspect of their lives—including who their friends were, their political views, and even their religious beliefs. It all happened so gradually, and I still don't fully understand it; however, after a year or two of being mixed up in this organization, my dad started attending the non-denominational church with my mom. Because of my parents' influence, my sister was already claiming to be a Christian, even though she didn't have the slightest understanding of Christian beliefs. With me, on the other hand, Dad soon recognized that I would have nothing to do with Christianity.
One night he took me to a play; I didn't realize what it was about until the curtain opened and out walked "Jesus." The entire crucifixion was re-enacted. I can still vividly picture the scene when Jesus is hanging from the cross, asking for help from G-d, his father. A million terrifying questions were racing through my mind. Before that night, I had had no exposure to the New Testament. How could G-d have a son? Why would G-d purposely let anyone die? I was petrified and had nightmares for weeks after that. I tried to put the experience out of my mind, and I must have done a good job. Only a year or two ago did something spark my memory, and I realized that the play must have been some sort of "Jews for Jesus" traveling act. Jews for Jesus is a relatively new organization whose members claim to be Evangelistic Jews believing "that God the Father is the author of eternal salvation, having loved the world and given His Son for its redemption" ("About" 1).
Needless to say, Dad's most radical attempt to blend Jewish and Christian ideology was a flop. My horrified reaction was pretty normal; as Reverend Walter H. Cuenin explains: "A child cannot be a Jew and a Catholic at the same time…. Whatever tradition children are raised in, hopefully they would be exposed to the other faith and share to some extent in the rituals of that tradition. But as they do that, they need to know their own identity" (2). Sure, hanging stockings over the fireplace and hunting for Easter eggs would have been acceptable, but my dad had crossed the line. Did he really think I was going to buy this avant-garde mission statement after being raised in the traditional Jewish faith?
In addition to fighting this tremendous personal spiritual battle, I also worried about disappointing my family. As James Bossard and Eleanor Boll discovered in their research, "In the cases where children loved both the mother and the father equally, and yet had to deal with a religious difference between them and their families, the burden was heavy and bitter" (138). Growing up Jewish, I constantly felt I was disappointing my mom and then later my dad. To this day, my family still doesn't celebrate religious events together. Mom and Dad continue to attend a non-denominational church, my sister doesn't go to any kind of services, and I still attend the synagogue my dad intended us to be raised in. I understand my parents must lead their own lives, but this need shouldn't have diverted them from their original plan for our religious upbringing. Even now, I feel that, having chosen to remain Jewish, I don't have my family's blessing. Only since going off to college have I been able to feel at peace with my identity. As Albert I. Gordon explains in his book about intermarriage, "Persons of mixed religions…are faced not only with the ordinary problems of human adjustment, but with the additional problems that have to do with the rearing of healthy, secure children who have the need to identify with some way of life they can call their own" (315-316).
I'm not trying to discourage people of different faiths from marrying and having children, for I've read many encouraging stories about couples whose interfaith marriages were successful because of their thorough communication and who were able to come to a genuine and sincere agreement about their children's faith. Perhaps my mom and dad were worried that too much probing into this uncomfortable issue might have further complicated their decision to marry. They had taken a tremendous risk in making that decision, facing disapproval from family, friends, and their respective religious leaders. I greatly admire my mom and dad, for amongst a sea of friends whose parents are separated, I feel blessed to still have my "complete" family unit. Nevertheless, complete isn't always followed by functioning. Although I occasionally tell my parents what I'm doing with Hillel (the Jewish student organization on campus), they show little interest. However, I have become my Jewish grandparents' sole pride and joy, while they treat my sister as a "second-class grandchild." My Catholic grandmother used to take my sister to mass, enraging the other side of my family. Sadly, I must admit that I agree with Cuenin's statement that "…when no possible agreement can be reached as to the children's religion, it may even be best if the marriage is postponed or even rethought" (2). My parents could have taken a number of steps to achieve such an agreement, such as going for pre-marital counseling, but they didn't, and my somewhat fractured family is the outcome. Perhaps a more open discussion between my parents could have prevented the awkward moments and feelings of estrangement that continue to affect me and my family today.

Giovanni Francesco Barbarigo
Italian Cardinal, nephew of Blessed Gregorio Barbarigo (1658-1730)
Barbarigo, GIOVANNI FRANCESCO, Italian Cardinal, nephew of Blessed Gregorio Barbarigo (1625-97), b. in 1658 at Venice; d. in 1730. He first entered the diplomatic service and was twice sent as representative of the Venetian Republic to the court of King Louis XIV of France. Later he entered the ecclesiastical state and became primicerius of the church of St. Mark at Venice. In 1697 he was named by Innocent XII Bishop of Verona, was transferred to Brescia in 1714, created cardinal 1720, and in 1723 became a successor of his uncle in the See of Padua. He was a zealous prelate, promoted the cause of beatification of Gregorio Barbarigo, and lent his encouragement to the production of literary works. To his suggestion was due the inception of the ecclesiastical history of Verona, and the works of St. Zeno, Bishop of Verona (362-380), were reprinted at his expense (Padua, 1710).

Bacon automatically looks for the database configuration in `Config/Database.php`. It must contain a class `Config\Database` with a public static variable called `$main`:

```
namespace Config;

class Database
{
	public static $main = [
		'server'   => '', # Enter your server host here
		'name'     => '', # The name of your database
		'type'     => '', # Anything your PDO Installation supports. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.drivers.php)
		'username' => '', # The username you want to connect to your database with
		'password' => '', # The password.
	];
}
```

> **Note:** If no config is found and you try query the database an exception is thrown.

## Models {#models}

Say you want to create a model for handling posts in your blog. The simplest form of a model is a class inheriting `\Bacon\ORM\Model` in the namespace `\Models` holding a static variable `$table_name` with the table name.

```
# Models/Post.php
namespace Models;

class Post extends \Bacon\ORM\Model
{
	public static $table_name = 'post';
}
```

### Timestamp columns {#timestamp-columns}

Further, the ORM assumes you have certain columns in place, namely:

* `table_name.id`
* `table_name.created_at`
* `table_name.updated_at`

The two columns `created_at` and `updated_at`, with type DATETIME, are automatically filled in on creation and update of a row. If you do not want this, e.g. when you have a simple model for a join table, just add the static variable `$timestamps` with the value `false`:

```
# Models/Post.php

namespace Models;

class Post extends \Bacon\ORM\Model
{
	public static $table_name = 'post';
	public static $timestamps = false;  # Turn off created_at and updated_at support
}
```

### Altering the primary key {#primary-key}

In case you have a different primary key than `id`, you can alter this as well:

```
# Models/Post.php

namespace Models;

class Post extends \Bacon\ORM\Model
{
	public static $table_name  = 'post';
	public static $primary_key = 'post_id';  # Change the name of the primary key
}
```

> **Note:** In some cases you might have two or more columns defined as primary key. Although this is possible to do (`$primary_key = 'id, other_id'`), there is no actual support for this right now.

## Query Interface {#query-interface}

Bacon tries to provide an intuitive query interface. The base of this interface is the class `Collection`. When you call any of the model's [query methods](#query-interface-methods), a new `Collection` instance is created. This instance allows you to form a simple query without having to write SQL. Once that query is sent and the result is retrieved, `Collection` instantiates one object per row and stores it.

Almost all of the available methods return the `Collection` object itself, so one may chain calls to it.

### Available methods {#query-interface-methods}

| Method   | Parameters                                | Return Value        | Causes SQL to be sent |
|:---------|:------------------------------------------|:--------------------|:----------------------|
| `find`   | primary key value                         | Model instance      | Yes                   |
| `first`  | *none* (implies `LIMIT 1`)                | Model instance      | Yes                   |
| `last`   | *none* (implies `LIMIT 1`)                | Model instance      | Yes                   |
| `all`    | *none*                                    | Collection instance | Yes                   |
| `where`  | string or array                           | Collection instance | No                    |
| `limit`  | integer                                   | Collection instance | No                    |
| `offset` | integer                                   | Collection instance | No                    |
| `order`  | string, string (column name, asc\|desc)   | Collection instance | No                    |
| `group`  | string (column name)                      | Collection instance | No                    |

### Lazy-loading {#lazy-loading}

The ORM also supports *lazy-loading*. Until you call `find`, `all`, `first` or `last`, no query is sent to the database.

```
# Construct a collection, but do not load anything yet:
$posts = \Models\Post::where([ 'user_id' => '1' ]);

# Add something to the query:
if (isset($limit)) {
  $posts->limit($limit);
}

# Actually send the query to the database:
$posts->all();
```

### Examples {#query-interface-examples}

Retrieve a single row with a given primary key value from the database:

```
$post = \Models\Post::find($id);
```

Retrieve a certain amount of rows from the database:

```
$posts = \Models\Post::limit(10)->all();
```

Retrieve a subset based on a condition:

```
$posts = \Models\Post::where('published_at != NULL')->all();
```

Combining the last two:

```
$posts = \Models\Post::where('published_at != NULL')
                     ->limit(10)
					 ->all();
```

Retrieve the first published post:

```
$post = \Models\Post::where('published_at != NULL')->first();
```

Retrieve the last published post:

```
$post = \Models\Post::where('published_at != NULL')->last();
```

## Storing Data {#storing-data}

Storing data is as simple as creating a model instance, filling it with data and calling `save()` in order to send data to the database.

```
$new_post = new \Models\Post();

$new_post->title = 'Blog title';
$new_post->content = '...';

$new_post->save();

```

There is no need to make one statement per column, one can pass an associative array of column data (`[ 'column name' => $data ]`)to the constructor as well:

```
$post = [
  'title'   => 'Blog title',
  'content' => '...'
];

$new_post = new \Models\Post($post);
$new_post->save();
```

> **Note:** You can only set the column data of the model at hand. Passing cascaded arrays with data of other models included is not supported and thus causing "undefined behaviour".

## Validation & Error Handling {#validation-error-handling}

To validate data of a model before storing it in database, `\Bacon\ORM\Model` provides a method called `validate()`. To add validations, just override this method.

```
namespace Models;

class Post extends \Bacon\ORM\Model
{
	public static $table_name = 'post';

	public function validate ()
	{
		# Check whether the title is set
		if (empty($this->title)) {
			throw new \Exception('No title set!');
		}
	}
}
```

To actually be able to distinguish validation errors from one another and display them accordingly, `Model` also provides an internal error storage including the following methods:

| Name         | Parameters                    | Return value             |
|:-------------|:------------------------------|:-------------------------|
| `error`      | string, string (key, message) | *none*                   |
| `errors`     | *none*                        | `\Sauce\Vector` instance |
| `has_errors` | *none*                        | `true` or `false`        |

If any errors are present after `validate()` has been called, no data will be written back to the database.

The above example can also be written using the error methods as follows:

```
namespace Models;

class Post extends \Bacon\ORM\Model
{
	public static $table_name = 'post';

	protected function validate ()
	{
		# Check whether the title is set
		if (empty($this->title)) {
			$this->error('title', 'Column `title` may not be empty.');
		}
	}
}

```


Are Mopods suitable as permanent, temporary or portable buildings?
Mopods comply to BCA requirements as permanent class 1A buildings. They are designed on a floor chassis, and the electrical services adopt dual poled fittings that comply with the portable building codes and therefore make them suitable for caravan and cabin parks. They are removable from site within 24hrs and are in accordance with temporary building code requirements.

Cherry Picked - University community remembers geographer Robert Nunley
University community remembers geographer Robert Nunley
LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas community is remembering Robert Nunley, professor emeritus of geography, who died Dec. 24, 2016. He was 85.
"Professor Nunley's contributions to our university as a teacher and researcher spanned 40 years, and we are saddened to hear of his death," said Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. "On behalf of the entire university, I offer my deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues."
Nunley was part of the Department of Geography from 1962 to 2002. His professional affiliations included Phi Beta Kappa, the Association of American Geographers, National Council for Geographic Education, Latin American Studies Association, American Association of University Professors and more.
"Bob was always engaged in keeping up to date with the latest advances in applying computers and other digital technology to geography," said Stephen Egbert, professor of geography. "He was well-known as an early adopter and innovator in the field, and he kept abreast of the latest developments up through the time of his retirement."
A musical celebration of life for Nunley is planned for April 16 in McLouth.


Actress Busy Philipps has been working in Hollywood for a long time. She first appeared in and got her big break on the hit TV series Freaks and Geeks. She would later join the TV cast of Dawson's Creek. Since then she's appeared in several major feature films and TV shows including Cougar Town, The Gift, White Chicks, and Made of Honor.
Most recently, Philipps starred on the HBO TV series Vice Principals. But, the actress admitted that even though she's constantly working on TV shows and movies she actually makes more money from social media than from acting.
She argues that what she's doing is not different than what she does as an actress. 'As a television actor, when we work in TV, what we're doing is making a product so that networks can sell ad space,' she explained.
It is important to note that while many famous actors such as Robert Downey Jr. makes hundreds of millions of dollars per year, the average actor makes far less than that. According to a recent report, the median hourly pay of an actor is $22.15 an hour or $52,000/year. This number is extremely important because it is a median, since there are an equal number of actors that make higher and lower. But, this is the most common pay for actors in the film industry.


It's counterintuitive but it may well be the best way to make a sandwich is to ditch the bread. Sure. The Earl of Sandwich and all that. But history is an arbitrary arbiter of what's de rigueur in food preference.
From what I can tell, a sandwich is merely a filling, usually with protein, and something compatible to place around it so you can eat the filling with your hands. When done right, a sandwich saves dishes and their cleanup, allows for flexibility and mobility for stuffing your stomach on the run, and there are very few, if any, etiquette rules that, oh my dear, must be followed in the making and eating of a sandwich.
I exclude the brunch and tea sandwiches from that last. Etiquette very clearly rules any sandwiches where bone china, linen napkins, and stemware are in service.
With that in mind, hack your way out of the worry accompanying traditional sandwiches: whole wheat or white, thick or thin, toast or grill, trim crusts or no, and chuck the bread entirely. Concentrate on putting together a hearty filling and put that filling into a pita pocket or tortilla wrap around.
There's even a gluten-free alternative with crisp and sturdy lettuce standing in for bread. Be a bit careful handling the lettuce stand-in while walking, but wrap your hand(s) around the other bread substitutes and you're good to go to the picnic, the lunch at your desk or in the park, your backyard swing or just at the table noshing with family and friends.
Mix the fruit, celery, mayonnaise and yogurt in medium bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until you're ready to prepare your lunch.
Line each pita half with a lettuce leaf and several slices of turkey. Stuff with a scoop of chilled fruit mixture. Wrap each pocket individually in plastic wrap or foil if not serving right away. Makes four wraps.
Note: You may use a creamy salad dressing such as ranch or bleu cheese to substitute for the mayonnaise. Also, try adding glazed walnut pieces or almond slices to the Waldorf for extra taste. And if turkey is not your thing, a Waldorf is just as good with chicken.
Tip: Other than to remove blemishes, there is no need to peel the apples. Leaving the peel on adds fiber and additional nutrients.
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the dressing, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and half of lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper, cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining oil. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden and no longer pink, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from heat, let rest 5 minutes, then cut into bite sized pieces.
To put together the lettuce wraps: Fill each lettuce cup with chicken pieces, tomatoes, celery (if using) and bacon. Top with a squeeze of lemon, more dressing, Parmesan, and a couple extra twists of black pepper. Fold the lettuce over the filling like a wrap. Serves four.
Spread each tortilla evenly with 1 tablespoon dressing; sprinkle with bacon. Top with spinach leaves, finely shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese, 1 turkey slice, and 1 ham slice. Roll up tortillas and secure with toothpicks or wrap in foil. Serves four.
Note: Change it up! Use Italian meats and dressing, or olive oil and Italian seasonings, with green or black olives, thinly-sliced onions, and sliced grape tomatoes. Replace the cheddar with Asiago or other of your favorite hard cheeses. Call it a "tortilla Italia"!
Tip: These tasty wraps will become appetizers or canapes if cut crosswise into two-bite pieces.

University people have a unique opportunity to profit from the author's inside view, from his experiences communicated in a witty readable style … strongly recommended not only to heads of departments but also to every faculty member.
Conway's book is a worthwhile read and, if you are an administrator, a place to go for a soul mate wrestling with similar problems, for advice if not consolation, or just as a resource for new ideas and discussion.
This book provides an excellent overview of the various issues involved in governing a department and is recommended reading for all those who aspire to do that. Overall, this book provides plenty of good advice on almost all areas of departmental administration from someone who seems to relish the role.
The author has written a frank, thorough and readable account of the experiences and responsibilities of his office. Evidently, written by a man with strong professional values and sense of direction, this memoir is imbued with practicality, empathy with colleagues and sound advice, so that it serves as an astute and useful guide for prospective chairs (not necessarily of mathematics) as well as a source of insight for ordinary departmental citizens.


It features a blade of ELMAX powdered steel in a modified tanto style. ELMAX provides the extreme edge retention, high strength, and toughness a hard-use knife demands. High wear resistance in a steel usually means low corrosion resistance, but not with ELMAX. With this advanced steel, you get both propertieswhich makes it an excellent blade steel. DLC coating enhances performance even more and makes the blade non-reflective.
Of course, the 0620 features the patented Emerson "wave shaped feature" that enables the knife to be opened as it is removed from the pocket. By the time the knife has been fully withdrawn from the pocket, the blade is deployed and ready for use. A small wave-shaped tab on the top of the blade is built to catch on the pocket seam, opening the knife as it comes out of the pocket. This Emerson instant-open feature is a favorite among military, rescue, and law enforcement knife users.
