The Canucks main analytical focus probably isn't Corsi stats, it's "fatigue," "readiness," and "peak performance."
On Monday afternoon, Mike Gillis appeared for two hours on the Team 1040. The segment was hosted by Matthew Sekeres who god bless him, spent a sizable portion of the show asking the General Manager and President of the Vancouver Canucks about analytics.
To some extent, Gillis parried Sekeres' question regarding what stats the team pays close attention to in player evaluations. "It's different for different positions. For forwards it's a combination of shots on net, quality of shots on net, location of shots on net versus time on ice." Quality shots on net is another indication that the Canucks count scoring chances, and it's good to hear Gillis qualify that they look at these numbers rated by time on ice. Shot location is a bit of a mixed bag, many are convinced that it's hocus pocus, though I've long suspected that the Canucks pursue players who have been shown to suppress on-ice shooting percentage.
We do use advanced analytics to some measure. It's more difficult in hockey than in baseball because baseball is a defined event. You've got 100 different things that go into player success. Who they play for, match ups they constantly play against. Their age. Injury history. So you've got lots of things that are determinant factors in hockey that can't be properly analyzed just through analytics. In baseball you can.
The notion that hockey is too spontaneous and free-flowing to lend itself to statistical analysis is a popular one, but it's a narrow and overly restrictive paradigm in my view. Accurate predictive models have been built to measure, better understand and predict the outcomes of things like the voting behavior of an electorate of 350 million people, or global financial markets. Yes those aren't sports, but my point is that areas of macro-interaction that are significantly more chaotic than several seasons worth of on-ice events at the NHL level have been modeled accurately, so it seems odd to think that hockey simply cannot be. Corsi, Fenwick, Zone-Entries haven't reached Nate Silver levels of accuracy yet, no doubt, but they're steps in the right direction.
Where Gillis' comments on analytics become more forthcoming and thoughful, however, were when he got started on the topic of zone-starts and player development. The Canucks manipulation of zone-starts to gain an offensive edge is well documented and unique, as is Alain Vigneault's massaging of match-ups: "What we've done is look at things and try to design success based on where [young players] are starting, and who they're playing with and what situations they're playing in and the number of minutes they play."
It's worth noting that as recently as the 2009-10 season, the Canucks zone-start deployment schemes and patterns were pretty standard when held up against the rest of the league. Alain Vigneault told CanucksArmy that his zone-start deployment patterns were a matter of "personal preference" rather than an example of some sort of organizational philosophy, but I'd be curious to learn more about whether or not he's executing (with an impressive degree of discipline) a scheme concocted in concert with the Canucks front-office.
We're trying to define fatigue levels in those circumstances and as you know, a player usually gets hit twice when he gets hit once. He gets hit by the player and then hits the boards. How you can attribute that to success and how you attribute that to fatigue levels is instrumental in finding out when a player in the third period makes a mistake. And something happens and I think that as we've found, in a dynamic, competitive contact sport that fatigue levels are really a lot of the determining factor in success or failure.
Mike Gillis' sleep doctors were one of the first "big innovations" that were instituted when he first took over as General Manager four years ago. This past season the team was subjected to a new type of readiness testing, in addition to their military type sleep schedules, "mind-rooms" and witch-doctor like "sleep bracelets" that monitor players circadian rhythms.
"I've been working on a human performance plan to try and address those issues. I think fatigue was the first stage in it, about how you deal with the ups and downs. One of the things I've concluded is that compounded with the types of games that we play and the pressure – we have to find a better way to deal with that, and we have to find it quickly. That's one of the things we've worked really hard on, it's more complicated than you think and I'm hoping that we're going to have that plan in place for next year."
But the big improvement for the Canucks in the last four years is in the third period. Pythagorean Expectation predicted 50 wins from the Canucks in the Gillis era per year (actual, 49.8) and 43.2 in the four previous seasons (actual, 43.3). That's an increase of 16%.
But where did the increase come from? They actually lost ground in the second period, their win expectancy dipping by 8% in the middle frame in the Gillis era, but that's propped up by a 23% gain in the first period and a 35% increase in the third period.
The median NHL team won an equivalent of 42.2 games pro-rated to 82 games in the first period over the last four years according to Pythagorean Expectation. In the second period, that dipped to 41.6 and in the third and overtime it dipped to 41.1, so perhaps the average team does get impacted by fatigue.
In March, Oakland A's General Manager and Moneyball protagonist Billy Beane spoke at a Yahoo! event and suggested that a better understanding of player health and injuries was the next frontier in advanced analytics in baseball. The Canucks efforts to apply advanced thinking and statistical analysis to issues of fatigue and readiness or "peak performance," strikes me as a not so distant cousin of what Beane was getting at.
Clearly this is a topic that the Canucks have targeted with an arsenal of research dollars, and a willingness to implement it at the management level. That they've been so successful, and open-minded enough to apply lessons from other sports like soccer, is fascinating.
Absurdly narrow definitions of success are my favorite.
I have no problem with trying to get the most out of your players. I applaud trying new things as nothing has worked in the past 41 years seemed to as of yet. Part of me wonders though if a)all NHLers are so closely bunched together fitness wise that improving a player's 'peak performance' is enough to win games or b)all NHLers aren't bunched closely together fitness wise that a team that simply has better players could win regardless of what the fitness of the other team is.
I didn't say that they weren't successful, only the fact that all of this research and they haven't won the stanley cup, seems pretty futile. and if winning the stanley cup is absurd, that's why they call you guys canucks fans!
They aren't the only team doing research.
Pittsburgh is the most open team about their analytic methods. Boston and Chicago's have spoken in the past that they've found certain non-traditional methods of player evaluation. Los Angeles built a Stanley Cup-winning team by trading for puck-possession players.
I'd say about half the teams in the NHL use analytics to some degree.
A comprehensive recap of Gillis and his comments. However, you again ignore the fact the Canucks have underachieved in the playoffs (relative to their regular season success).
Success in the playoffs, is not as you put a 'narrow definition' of success?!
Yes, They do deserve much credit for maximizing their reg. season record its been very successful. BUT Gillis and Av have shown that they don't have a clear grasp on what it takes to win in the playoffs. Gillis and Av have put too much emphasis on the regular season thinking and the flaw that that the same principles translate to playoff success. The fact is they don't. Playoffs are a completely different season and they have neglected to differentiate what it takes to win in the playoffs. Gillis and Av seem to think "if we just do what we did in the regular season and get some luck we will have success in the playoffs. This is painfully naive and misguided. By doing so themselves, the team and most fans have overrated the team believing they are only "2%" away.Their performance suggests otherwise.
As for the Ozone starts starting in 10-11. It is also important to point out that the Canucks lack of scoring in the playoffs the last two years (their downfall) has coincided with this strategy.It has yet to be shown that there is any offensive edge to this strategy in the playoffs ( Has there been a cup winner using it?) In fact, it needs to be pointed out that the Sedins inability to play tough minutes is a huge liability on a team needing to win four rounds.
How does such an analytical coach make the massive and 'rookie' coaching blunder and not have a plan B for D. Sedin?
This inexcusable mistake was grounds for firing alone.And, showed his inherent flaw in his ability to formulate game strategy necessary to win in playoffs.
How does an 'experienced' team get distracted by the Boston rematch in January peak early and fall flat for the rest of the season and not motivated or ready for the playoff season?
These facts reveal a large flaw in Gillis and AV's planning.
stumbles and therefore open yourself up to legitimate criticisms that you are not objective in your evaluations and continue to cling to your pro-Canuck Bias.
@Mantastic the success is that they've targeted these things (fatigue, readienss etc.) and have actually become the best third period team in the league.
Playoffs are about small samples, the Canucks haven't won a cup, but there's an awful lot of luck that goes into that. The regular season is where management techniques pay off, and in this particular realm, what the Canucks are doing has. That's success in my books.
@Cam I agree with the advanced stats, it's the sleep and peak performance crap i'm sceptical of.
Whatever team you're a fan of, I'm betting they aren't the champs. So following your logic, why waste your time watching them at all? It's futile.
… Futile? Really? There's no point in even playing the games if you're not 1 in 30 at the end of the year? I really despise this attitude. Yes, the cup is the goal and what you're aiming for. But not being the 1 in 30 that ends up with it doesn't make the whole year a write off. If your team had an entertaining season that was enjoyable to watch and cheer on and experienced some success on the ice, that's a good season. The Red Wings were the first team eliminated this year but set a home ice winning streak record – that's pretty memorable, and it isn't meaningless just because someone else ends up with the grail. The Blues took a leap from being a "potential" team to being one of the best in the league and got a record-setting goaltending performance. That was something to watch and something to follow, and while it hurts to get swept because you had higher expectations, it's still a great year for them. And suffice it to say, if I'm a Devils fan, I'm disappointed, sure, but I'm also pretty happy I got to watch my team beat the Rangers in the East Final and see Marty exorcise 2004.
the point in trying to gain an edge on the opposition is to be better than last season at trying to win the stanley cup and not more of the same which is futility and that is where the canucks are at, trying more than last season but without the equal amount of success.
do you think perenialy successful teams are happy with just winning seasons and not care about the playoff success?


In times of great crisis one of the consuls could appoint a dictator. A dictator in Roman context should not be confused with modern day dictators, but likewise he had absolute power. He was to stay in power until the problem was solved or a period of six months had lapsed. When none of the consuls could be in Rome for the elections, the senate would appoint a dictator to organize the elections. The dictator would lay down his powers immediately after the elections.
The dictator was to go on foot to command the infantry. But when the over 60 years old dictator Q. Fabius Maximus asked permission to ride a horse, the senate granted him this privilege.
The dictator then appointed a magister equitem (master of the horse) to command the cavalry.
The people and the senate proved not to be rendered completely powerless though. When in the hannibalic war the dictator Q. Fabius Maximus refused to attack Hannibal, the senate empowered his magister equitem M. Minucius Rufus to be equal in rank as Fabius. As expected Rufus attacked Hannibal with his half of the army but lost.
According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus(5.70) the first dictatorship was created to subordinate the Roman plebeians, who made problems about their debts.
The two censors were elected every five years and stayed in office for 18 months. When this office was instated they stayed in office for 5 years; the period between two cencuses. In 434 bc already this was shortened by Mam. Aemilius in the time he was dictator. Their main task was to conduct a census of the Roman people. This meant taking statements under oath from all male citizens, about their property. On this statement they assigned that citizen and his family to a place in the comitia centuriata, to a tribe and to an economic . Also the amount of tax to be paid was established on basis of this property.
These Roman magistrates first appeared in 443 BC. From then on there were sensei held on a irregular basis till late in the 4th century, when the 5 year cycle was fixed.
After the whole army had been drawn up there, he purified it by the triple sacrifice of a swine, a sheep, and an ox.
This was called "a closed lustrum," because with it the census was completed.
Another task of the censor was to guard the moral of the citizens,especially the senators. He would judge them (un)worthy to serve in the senate.
The quaestors indeed were appointed while the kings still ruled, and this the revival by Brutus of the lex curiata plainly shows. The consuls retained the power of selecting them, till the people bestowed this office as well as others. The first so created were Valerius Potitus and Aemilius Mamercus sixty-three years after the expulsion of the Tarquinii, and they were to be attached to the war-department. As the public business increased, two more were appointed to attend to affairs at Rome. This number was again doubled, when to the contributions of Italy was added the tribute of the provinces. Subsequently Sulla, by one of his laws, provided that twenty should be elected to fill up the Senate, to which he had entrusted judicial functions. These functions the knights afterwards recovered, but the quaestorship was obtained, without expense, by merit in the candidates or by the good nature of the electors, till at Dolabella's suggestion it was, so to speak, put up to sale.
In the period from 405 to 367 BC there were often no consuls but instead mostly 6 military tribunes with consular power. According to Livius this was a kind of compromise between the patricians and the plebeians. The latter demanded access to the office of consul. This new office was open for plebeians. These tribunes were in fact military tribunes who served as high ranking officers in the Roman army, but now a number of them had consular emporium (power).
The office of praetor resembled in many ways that of consul. Possibly the function of consul had been called praetor at the beginning of the republic. In 367 BC this office was created (again?) together with the office of curule aedile. Both the positions the patricians demanded for themselves. T. Livius suggests that this was done to compensate the patricians for the loss of one post of consul to the plebeians. The praetor acted as chief judge and deputy of the consuls. Within three decades the first plebeian would hold the office. When the roman wars became more complex and further away from home, praetors (and propraetors) would be appointed as military commanders.
Aediles were to supervise public works like temples. Their main job however was the organization of the games. Though this function was good to gain popularity, it would also cost a lot of money because a lot had to be paid out of the private means of the aedile. Aedile had been a plebeian function until the function of consul was opened to the plebeians in 367 bc. Curule aedile was created for the same reason as praetor and intended only for the patricians.

March 18, Friday
Editor's Note: The AMI QT Devotionals from March 14-20 are provided by Pastor Charles Choe of Tapestry Church, Los Angeles. Charles, a graduate of UC Riverside and Fuller Theological Seminary (M.Div.), is married to Grace, and they have three children: Chloe, Noah, and Camden, who was recently born.
10 And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11 and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth.
Having served a number of churches, I've come to see that every church has its traditions. Everything from cultural to denominational, I have seen people have strong feelings for certain forms of spirituality or church practices that they are even willing to fight and divide over them.
Traditions are not bad; they can be very good and be a way to remember what God has done in the past—a way to relive those important moments. But we can also become enslaved to them. Instead of serving as a bridge to lead to truth and life, it can also be used to build a box to keep God inside and others out.
In our passage, Peter is with Simon the tanner in the city of Joppa. But while Peter was praying on the rooftop, where meals were often served, he enters into a trance and sees a vision of a sheet descending from the heavens with all kinds of animals on it and an accompanying voice with the words "kill and eat." Peter refused to violate the dietary laws as prescribed in Deuteronomy 14, where ceremonially unclean animals—like pigs and birds—were forbidden for consumption. But the clear message for Peter, and for all Jews thereafter, was to partake of it, because "what God has made clean, do not call common."
Consider why it was so difficult for Peter to comprehend God's message. It comes down to building a life on traditions. The Jews were defined by the traditions of their dietary restrictions, and of course, it served its purpose for its time. But when God was ready to do a new thing, Peter found himself initially unwilling to believe—the old wineskin was keeping him from the new wine.
God speaks through the ordinary things of life as well as through the great visions of the heavens. We are called today to pay attention to see how God is doing a new thing in our lives. Am I listening? Am I paying attention? Consider what traditions, habits or past teachings that might be keeping you from hearing afresh the voice of God in your life today.
God, help me to see You today. Help me not to take for granted how You speak through ordinary things in life. Allow my ears to listen attentively to Your voice. Don't allow distractions or traditions to keep me from loving You today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Bible Reading for Today: Proverbs 3
Read Galatians 5:16-26
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
What are the works of the flesh? According to Paul, what will keep us from gratifying the desires of the flesh?
What is the fruit of the Spirit?
What particular fruit of the Spirit do you need to work on?
"The works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these" (verses 19-21). When we allow the Spirit to lead us, we will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law" (verses 22-23).
Personal Response.
"Fruit is always the miraculous, the created; it is never the result of willing, but always a growth. The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it. They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends" – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

According to a report from Derby Telegraph, Derby County, Aston Villa, West Brom, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are all interested in taking Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings on loan.
Tyrone Mings, 25, signed for Bournemouth from Ipswich Town in 2015 but has failed to nail down a regular place in the first-team under manager Eddie Howe. He has made only seven appearances for Bournemouth this season and 23 in total since moving to the Vitality stadium as injuries have severely hampered his career.
Since Bournemouth have signed Chris Mepham from Brentford, Tyrone Mings should move out of the club on a temporary loan this month. That said, Cardiff City must rival the Championship clubs for the defender's signature.
Cardiff City are battling hard to survive in the Premier League following their promotion from the Championship. The January transfer window has come at a rather fortuitous time for the Bluebirds and while they need to spend to save themselves from getting relegated, they need to do it on the right players and the right areas.
Veteran manager Neil Warnock faces an uphill task to save his team from the jaws of relegation. He needs reinforcements quickly and the priority has to be a defender. Cardiff City have leaked in 44 goals so far this season, which gives us an idea about Warnock's defence. Truly, goalkeeper Neil Etheridge needs some solid protection in front of him and Warnock would be wise to land Tyrone Mings.
Tyrone Mings needs a run of games to get back to his best and he could certainly get that at Cardiff. His versatility to play as a centre-back and even as a defensive midfielder if required adds more value to his name.
The 25-year-old would arguably be a good addition for Warnock's side, adding cover and competition for the likes of Bruno Manga, Sol Bamba, Sean Morrison, Lee Peltier and Matthew Connolly. He could also battle with Joe Ralls for the left-back role.
Mings' injury problems will be a concern for Cardiff Cit but if he manages to keep himself fit, there is no question that he has the potential to be a difference-maker for Warnock's side.

The Boston Marathon Bombing: An Orgonomic Analysis
Posted on 01 May 2013. Tags: Boston Marathon, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Krystle Campbell, Lisa Monaco, Lu Lingzi, Martin Richard, President Obama, Ramzan Kadyrov, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Terrorism, wilhelm reich
On Monday, April 15, 2013, on a beautiful spring day when the Boston Marathon is traditionally held, two bombs exploded at the finish line, killing 3 people and injuring an estimated 260 spectators. Among the deceased were an 8 year old boy, Martin Richard, who was cheering his father as he approached the finish line; a Chinese student, Lu Lingzi, the only daughter of her parents; and Krystle Campbell, a young woman who died later in the hospital. A number of other spectators and runners lost limbs from the explosions, including the younger sister of the deceased Martin Richard, and several survivors required amputations upon receiving medical attention. This event was another heartbreaking, heinous crime.
Boston Marathon Victims: Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu
Boston Marathon Victims
Shortly after this incident, President Obama responded: "Good morning, everybody. I have just been briefed by my national security team, including FBI Director Mueller, Attorney General Holder, Secretary Napolitano and my Counter Terrorism and Homeland Security Advisor, Lisa Monaco, on the attack in Boston. We continue to mobilize and deploy all appropriate law enforcement resources to protect our citizens and to investigate and respond to this attack.
Boston Marathon: President Barack Obama Issues Statement
Obviously our first thoughts this morning are with the victims, their families, and the city of Boston. We know that two explosions gravely wounded thousands of Americans and took the lives of others, including an 8 year-old boy. This was a heinous and cowardly act and given what we know now about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism. Any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror. What we don't yet know, however, is who carried out this attack, or why; whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was an act of a malevolent individual. That's what we don't yet know and clearly, we are in the beginning of our investigation.
It will take time to follow every lead and determine what happened, but we will find out. We will find whoever harmed our citizens and we will bring them to justice. We also know this–the American people refused to be terrorized because what the world saw yesterday in the aftermath of the explosions were stories of heroism and kindness . . . ."
Shortly after this terrorist act, the perpetrators were identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 years old, and his brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19 years old. They had come to the United States approximately a decade ago as ethnic Chechen refugees and were granted asylum. Tamerlan, who was killed in a gun battle with police on April 19, 2013, was a permanent U.S. resident and Dzhokhar, his younger brother, who had become a U.S. citizen on September 11, 2012, was captured Friday night in a shootout with police and remains hospitalized.
The Los Angeles Times reported that family members and acquaintances have painted sharply contrasting portraits of the suspects. Classmates and others have described the younger brother as pleasant but the older brother as intense and given to occasional outbursts.
In his first speech after this attack, President Obama stressed that officials would discover the identities of the perpetrators and the reasons for their attack. Fortunately, because of the vigilance of law enforcement agencies, including the police force, the perpetrators were soon identified. President Obama later lauded their persistence.
The second part of the President's inquiry—the reasons for the attack—remain unclear for many. As students of Reich and Orgonomy, we may be able to offer our help. Chechnya, a country from which the perpetrators of this crime and their parents requested asylum, is located in southeastern Europe in the North Caucasus Mountains.
President of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyro
On March 10, 2011, Human Rights Watch reported that since Chechenization, the government has advocated for an enforced Islamic dress code and other practices that violently oppress women. Wikipedia reports that the president of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, is quoted as saying, "I have the right to criticize my wife. She doesn't. With us [in Chechen society], a wife is a housewife. A woman should know her place. A woman should give her love to us [men] . . . . She would be [man's] property and the man is the owner. Here if a woman does not behave properly, her husband, her father, and brother are responsible. According to our tradition, if a woman fools around, her family members kill her . . . that's how it happens, a brother kills his sister or husband kills his wife . . . . As president, I cannot allow for them to kill. So let women not wear shorts." He has also openly defended honor killings on several occasions.
These are the actual words of the president of Chechnya in 2011, words that reveal a culture that is extremist, authoritarian, patriarchal, anti-woman and anti-sexual. In his book, Function of Orgasm, Reich states, "Society molds human character and in turn human character reproduces social ideology en masse. Thus, in reproducing the negation of life inherent in social ideology, people reproduce their own suppression". The consequence of this suppression is the development of hatred and violence toward everything vibrant and beautiful—the murder of happy, lively children and adults–the ultimate destruction of anything that represents life. "It is my belief," Reich continues, "that our earth will never find lasting peace and it will seek in vain to fulfill the function of social organization as long as naïve politicians and dictators of whatever persuasion continue to contaminate and lead sexually sick masses of people".
In my previous articles from this journal ("Sex Politics, Emotional Plague, Sadism, and Fascism," "Terrorism at Home: Sandy Hook Elementary School Tragedy," "On Sexual Rights of Youth," , "Our Teenage Suicide Bombers" and many others), I have stated that democracy and sexual freedom go hand in hand and develop simultaneously. Likewise, dictatorships, fascism and sexual suppression go hand in hand. Thus, a sexually oppressive culture is also authoritarian and dictatorial. Families that typify this culture will raise children who are psychologically distorted and sick. Their naturally affectionate impulses are prohibited by their family and culture and these children become frustrated, often resorting to hatred and violence. These repressed individuals become bombs ready to explode from within and become fertile soil for any extreme, violent ideologies.
Reich refers to this phenomenon as a neurotic plague, stating, "The most important source of neurotic plague is the authoritarian, sexually repressive upbringing of children with its unavoidable sexual child-parent conflict and genital anxiety". Once this cycle is in place, children from repressed, authoritarian cultures develop secondary sadistic and destructive drives as a consequence of repression of primary loving and sexual impulses. This notion can be illustrated by the following depiction:
Diagram depicting the antithetical functional unity between instinct and defense and illustrating specific impulses.
From Function of Orgasm by Wilhelm Reich
Reich describes, people inflicted by emotional plague often express a façade of exaggerated politeness while just beneath the façade, they are ready to explode with hatred. Not surprisingly, the brothers who committed this heinous crime were described as exceedingly polite, consistent with Reich's description of this surface behavior and its underlying rage.
From the book Listen Little Man by Wilhelm Reich, Illustrated by William Steig.
In orgonomy, the expression of this repressed hatred in a social scene is referred to as emotional plague. This emotional hatred is always directed toward anything that represents qualities of happiness and vibrancy, the very qualities that a person inflicted by emotional plague longs for, but because of his inner structural distortion, he is unable to attain. As a result, he becomes envious of and destroys that for which he longs from the depths of his soul. In his book, Character Analysis, Reich states, "The person afflicted with emotional plague always develops as a part of his structure an envy coupled with deadly hatred of everything healthy".
Based on our understanding of human psychological structure and its development under certain social and cultural upbringing, there is reason to believe that nothing will change, and such atrocities will continue as long as children grow up under Mr. Ramzan Kadyrov's proudly proclaimed authoritarian, fascistic, anti-sexual and anti-woman social structure. (One can substitute any religious denomination or any society in which families repress the natural growth of their children and the natural flow of biological and sexual energy in the youth and adolescents.)
In Reich Speaks of Freud, Reich states, "I don't believe that there will be any solutions of any social problem as long as children and adolescents grow up with a stasis of biological energy—haywire, irrational, with neurotic symptoms, and so on, and so on. That is why I offered my help. Do you understand? Is it quite clear why I'm interested? I have a great interest in getting this point of view into the psychoanalytic movement, in opposition to such schools as the English school, which denies all these things, sees nothing of it, and still thrives on a culture which just falls apart, or is in the process of falling apart, right now, under the very feet of those who proclaim it".
Therefore, if President Obama and U.S. officials are serious about discovering the causes of this crime, they must also address the human rights in these cultures, particularly the rights of women and the sexual rights of youth and adolescents, male and female alike. Countries without these rights should be considered as inevitable risks for similar terrorist actions. These leaders, government officials, and the masses must be educated, as well. Such an education will sever the roots from which such evil grows.
This tragedy claimed several people's lives, traumatized many, and caused deep sadness to innumerable others. Our hearts go out to them. We hope that this contribution will bring some awareness about the roots of this evil and ideally mitigate such hateful, destructive crimes in the future.


The Day of the Dead is a unique Indo-Hispanic holiday that preserves and encourages the remembrance of the people who passed before us—those who gave us life, knowledge and joy—creating a continuum in the cycle of life and death. Besides the reverence and honor paid to the ancestors, the use of multiple forms of folk art demonstrate that even though death is imminent, she should not be feared.
In this 2-hour event, you'll experience an up-close look at a community ofrenda, or altar, and learn about the levels of symbolism embedded within the structure and cosmology of these personal shrines to the dead. You'll decorate a sugar skull and get to experience the act of making a ritual offering. From exploring the food and gastronomy associated with The Day of the Dead to depictions of skeletons and other iconography, you'll come away with a deeper understanding of the history and evolution of The Day of the Dead as both a personal ritual and public festival.
Raúl Sánchez has built an altar every year for the past six years for the Phinney Neighborhood Association's celebration of Dia de los Muertos. He is a poet and translator who conducts workshops on The Day of the Dead for communities that have included Mighty Tieton. He is also a poet and the author of All Our Brown Skinned Angels from MoonPath Press.
Participants may bring photographs of loved ones, personal artifacts, and objects you wish to leave at the Phinney Neigborhood Association's community altar (which may be reclaimed at a later date).
There will be a small $10 donation made payable to Raul Sanchez by cash or check for a materials fee.
Guests will be provided with take-home instructions to build a personal altar.
This workshop is appropriate for 13+.

Q: Kubernetes and ansible - missing module I'm trying to deploy application with Ansible on my Kubernetes cluster. I tried to use this module kubernetes cluster module but when i try to execute my example playbook copied from documentation I'm getting:

 [WARNING]: Host file not found: /etc/ansible/hosts

 [WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available

ERROR! 'kubernetes' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The error appears to have been in '/home/holo/enterpryze/sources/devops/orchiestration/environment-cloud/ansible-playbook/kube.yaml':
line 1, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: Create a kubernetes namespace
  ^ here

How to add this module to make my example config working?

A: There's evidently a syntax error.

not a valid attribute for a Play

you should put module calls under tasks section (mind the indentation):
- hosts: server
  tasks:
    - name: mytask

The Conspirators were a  British northern indie / folk band.
The band consisted of five members (as of 2008).

In 2008, the band signed a management deal with Jon Shellers Brilliant Management, and released the double A-side single featuring Judy Dyble, former Fairport Convention vocalist. (Who was also managed by Sheller). The single included a remake of Fairport Convention's song "One Sure Thing" and The Conspirators song "Take Me To Your Leader". It reached No.7 in the official uk indie singles chart, spending 3 weeks in the top 10.

The promotion for this single saw Dyble make a couple of very rare live appearances, at the Harrogate International Conference Centre, and at an in-store live gig at HMV's superstore in Leeds city centre on 3 March 2008.

In 2012 Conspirators released their debut album "What's Going On".
The album featured guest performances from Dodgy lead guitarist Andy Miller, as well as Echobelly's Glenn Johansson. In 2017, most of the 2008 named members reformed under the new name The Doubtful Bottle.

I'm often asked my opinion about corporate and personal blogs, both in regards to their effectiveness and how I find the time to write them.
As far as finding the time for a blog goes – well, if that's going to be an issue, I'd recommend scrapping the idea of a personal blog. If you don't have the time to update a blog preferably at least weekly, there might not be much of a point to doing one.
BUT – you might still want to consider a corporate blog.
Most people write corporate blogs without even knowing they're doing so, they just never take the time to actually turn their valuable content into a blog (ie: a searchable resource for your company). Every time you answer a query to a client, you could potentially re-word it as a frequently asked question style blog. I did just this myself this morning at our real estate agency Elephant Property. I'd sent an email out to all our owners yesterday with some common tax-time queries and realized this morning that with a few tweaks this could easily be reworded in about 2 minutes to be a corporate blog. Voila – blogging done for the week.
If you're running short on topics for your blogs sit down in your team meeting and task everyone with answering two commonly asked questions about your industry. When we run short on topic ideas I might email a friend who deals with someone in our industry in another state and find out how their service provider is going or what queries they have in general about our industry. Blog topics abounds.
And while I'm a huge fan of blogging – it's not without it's perils. I've had my wrist spanked on more than a few occasions for unknowingly committing cardinal blogging sins.
1. Reposting my blogs on another site and then, because I hadn't been notified of comments on those blog posts, not replying to them. Queue angry people thinking I was quite rude (bad blogging etiquette) by not replying to their questions and comments.
2. I have a policy that if I'm writing a blog that mentions a type of behaviour that I have found a bit poor service wise – I don't mention the organization – personal choice. However, just recently I mentioned an amazing organization in a blog about poor service from a separate organization. It wasn't done with malice, but it was poor form and I ended up giving myself quite a hard time over doing it without thinking.
So – if you are going to blog, be prepared to make some mistakes along the way and the very point of having a blog is that you're open for public comment – and at times, people aren't always going to like what you're writing. If you're prepared to accept that… why not get started writing your blog today?


The conference trains adults who serve youth to create safe, healthy, caring, and intellectually empowering educational environments that foster the well-being of all children and adolescents. To accomplish this mission, it offers over 120 presentations by nationally and internationally recognized presenters to over 1200 conference participants from across the United States. In these presentations, participants learn about current research-based educational programs and strategies, which empower young people to overcome at-risk conditions that may threaten their safety, health, emotional needs, and academic achievement. Participants also gain knowledge of proactive solutions and best practices for meeting the serious challenges faced by youth today such as school violence, poverty, learning difficulties, underachievement, achievement gaps, illiteracy, boredom, apathy, low expectations, misbehavior, dropout, drugs, bullying, gangs, teen pregnancy, sexual harassment, racism, and dysfunctional families. Furthermore, participants gain effective educational tools to build strong caring schools, communities, and families, which can meet the diverse needs of all our young people.
In 1990, the NYAR Conference was founded by the College of Education of Georgia Southern University. Past conference speakers have included nationally and internationally recognized educators and youth advocates such as Geoffrey Canada, Ron Clark, Stedman Graham, Dr. Pedro Noguera, Dr. Eric Jensen, Dr. Ruby Payne, Dr. Crystal Kuykendall, Dr. James Comer, Dr. William Glasser, Dr. James Garbarino, Dr. David Hawkins, Dr. Robert Brooks, Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Jim Brown, TV celebrity Judge Glenda Hatchett, "Peter, Paul, & Mary" folk singer Peter Yarrow, and several National Teachers of the Year. During the past 29 years, the conference has grown from a regional conference of 150 participants to a national conference of approximately 1200 participants and is beginning to attract participants from several nations. In the next five years, the conference plans to expand to 1400 to 1600 national and international participants and to further enhance the quality and diversity of the conference program and presentations. The co-directors envision the conference as providing national leadership, service, and research for the professional development of educators who serve youth placed at risk.


In Japan, the months of April and May are quite busy in celebrations. Within the Aikido world, there are also a few events that are worth noting such as the anniversary of the founder's passing on April 26th 1969, the Aiki Shrine Festival and the 29th of April and the massive annual All Japan Aikido Demonstration on May 22nd.
The first event of this series of commemorations is the Shinobukai. It is a special evening that takes place at the Aikido World Headquarters in Tokyo on the exact date of the founder Morihei Ueshiba's passing (April 26th 1969).
Every year, several archive videos featuring O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba and his son the second Doshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba are played on a big screen in the main dojo at the third floor. Although this footage has been around for a while, it is always a pleasure to watch it for its historical and inspirational values.
For the occasion, a few people who have personally known the founder are invited to give speeches after the projection. Finally, sake and rice crackers are offered by the Aikikai to the people present. It is a very nice occasion to get together in the dojo and to talk to fellow students and teachers.

Stanford alum and food blogger Kathy Strahs at an ice cream cone-making demoat Whole Foods for her new cookbook, "The Ultimate Panini Press."
Most of us discover new kitchen tools in rather mundane ways, at a friend's home or while wandering around Sur La Table, coffee cup in hand. Stanford alum Kathy Strahs' first encounter with a Breville panini press was during labor. Literally.
AI started like most people do: I made sandwiches. After a while, I realized there was a whole lot more that I could be making with this appliance that had heat coming from the top and bottom at the same time. You can cook anything with that — and usually faster, usually healthier and really easy. The Cornish game hens in the book are spatchcocked in under 20 minutes and crispy. You can't even do a game hen in the oven in that time.
QWhat was your big a-ha moment?
AI discovered I could make ice cream cones. They make waffle cones at the ice cream store, and sure enough, you can make great tasting ice cream cones, albeit with vertical stripes not a crosshatch. That's when things got interesting. I started making frittatas in ramekins. I get the most excitement from pushing it a bit, seeing what all can be done.
QDo you still have your original press?
AI wore it out a year ago, but I keep it for posterity. I replaced it with the exact same one.
AOf course! If I didn't, then I wasn't trying anything too out-of-the-box, was I? I've made things that I wouldn't advise other people do, things with stickier marinades, dough that needs some room to rise, cakes before I learned how much batter to put in. It works, but it creates an enormous mess.

Christine Milne: Forestry Tasmania will never get FSC
Speeches in Parliament
Christine Milne 25 Mar 2015
The Australian Greens Leader, Senator Christine Milne, responds to an answer provided in Question Time relating to the endangered species, the Swift Parrot.
Senator MILNE: I move:
That the Senate take note of the answer given by the Assistant Minister for Education and Training (Senator Birmingham) to a question without notice asked by Senator Milne today relating to protection of the swift parrot.
This afternoon we heard in here that the federal Abbott government intends to do nothing to stop the logging of the critical nesting habitat of the swift parrot in Tasmania. This demonstrates that all the talk we have had over the years about the marvellous Regional Forest Agreements, in protecting threatened species and conservation outcomes, is just hot air, hogwash, rubbish.
The Tasmanian government has signed off on logging the habitat of an endangered species, the swift parrot. The federal government intends to do nothing about it, using the excuse that the EPBC Act does not apply. They do not have to look after threatened species if they are in a logging coop, if they are under the Regional Forest Agreements. This comes at a time when the Commonwealth is keen to roll over the Regional Forest Agreements into the future. Let us not have any pretence that the Abbott government cares in any shape or form about the species.
All we got in the answers from the minister was, 'We want to make sure we have jobs in Tasmania.' Mr President, as you and I well know, the native-forest logging industry in Tasmania is on its knees. There was a rescue tried for the native forest industry, but the Abbott government determined it would not go down that path. As a result of this appalling logging-of three coops, already, out of a possible five-of threatened species habitat, Forestry Tasmania will never get Forest Stewardship Council certification. Never.
This is a classic and carefully documented case of where the Tasmanian government does not protect threatened species. In particular, the expert advice that was provided to the government before it made its decision said: 'There is no scientific evidence to support the position that continued harvesting of breeding habitat will support the conservation objectives for the species.' There is no scientific evidence to support ongoing logging whatsoever. It also said that in allowing the harvesting of breeding habitat for the species at this site, conservation objectives for the species at the coop and regional scales will not be met. Hence, the conservation management of this species would become ineffective.
It is obvious what needs to happen here. We all know this has been through the courts several times. My former colleague Senator Bob Brown took this to the Federal Court when the threatened species were absolutely being contravened, in the EPBC Act, in areas logged by Forestry Tasmania. The Federal Court upheld the view that the threatened species were not being cared for consistent with Commonwealth law. That was then appealed and overturned. Now the Commonwealth just washes its hands of threatened species in logging coops.
Make no mistake, Mr President. Anyone who suggests that the Regional Forest Agreements protects threatened species has a classic case here where it is absolutely wrong. Not only that, we have a Commonwealth that says they want to hand back environmental responsibility to the states. We had that again from Senator Birmingham today. They want to give the Tasmanian government full and total control over our World Heritage areas and over all environmental issues that the Commonwealth previously cared about, including threatened species. What good would that be when the Tasmanian government has deliberately, in contravention of its scientific advice, gone ahead and given the go-ahead to logging? That is the Hodgman Liberal government in Tasmania logging the habitat of threatened species, and the Abbott government in Canberra ticking it off.
That is a process they would support around the country. That is why the Regional Forest Agreements should not be rolled over and should actually be dumped. More particularly, we need the Commonwealth to now intervene. They have a Threatened Species Commissioner. What is he going to do about the swift parrot? We want an investigation into what Tasmania has done, into why they are so keen to log the nesting habitat when we only have 2½ thousand of the species left on the planet. It is very bad policy, unsustainable and is environmental vandalism endorsed by the Abbott government.
Question agreed to.

We love featuring work from local talent in our stores. Since opening up our first Location the locals have been very supportive in our growth and very helpful in our commitment to high satisfaction. We were thrilled when Caily Oldershaw – a woman that grew up just a few minutes north of Rolla – agreed to showcase her paintings on the walls of our little cafe. She is by far one of the most talented artists I have ever met. At first glance, any of her paintings look like an extremely well taken photograph.. Its not until you get close and examine them that you realize they aren't at all Photographs… but paint.
Her work is breathtaking, definitely a must see, and a perfect addition to our cafe.

Transfer updates: BREAKING NEWS: Granit Xhaka has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal
June 15, 2018 Eplanet SPORTS 0
BREAKING: Granit Xhaka has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal
Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
The 25-year-old midfielder featured in all 38 Premier League matches last season, starting 37 and making one appearance from the bench.
He has made 94 appearances for us and won the Emirates FA Cup in his first season. He has 61 caps for Switzerland and is part of their squad for the World Cup.
He has sent a message to fans about his new deal.
Granit joined Arsenal from German side Borussia Monchengladbach in May 2016 after helping them to fourth place in the Bundesliga in the 2015/16 season and two Champions League group-stage qualifications.
Head coach Unai Emery said: "I'm delighted that Granit has extended his contract with us. He's an important member of the squad and is still young so will be able to develop even more. I hope he has a successful World Cup with Switzerland and comes back fit and ready for the new season."
The contract renewal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.

Simple, understated, and elegant, this deeply vanilla cake is moist, yet light and airy, thanks to the addition of beaten egg whites. Pair it with Very Vanilla Frosting or use your own favorite.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Butter three 8- or 9-inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper, and butter the parchment. Dust with flour and knock out the excess flour.
Sift the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water, milk, and buttermilk.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and shortening on medium speed until creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and vanilla, and beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, add the egg, and beat until just combined.
On low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the water mixture in two additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Increase the speed to medium for a few seconds to incorporate. Scrape down the bowl, then mix on low speed for a few more seconds.
In a medium bowl with a hand mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form; do not overbeat. With a silicone spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
Divide the batter among the prepared pans, and smooth with a small offset spatula. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes. Invert the cakes onto the rack, remove from the pans, and let cool completely. Remove the parchment.
Frost with Very Vanilla Frosting or with another favorite frosting.
The cake layers may be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 1 month. Let thaw for a couple of hours before frosting; a partially frozen cake is easier to frost because the crumbs don't come off as easily.
This isn't your flavorless white cake mix cake. It's a delicious vanilla cake with a surprising extra-white appearance. The icing was a new technique for me--a (cooked) flour buttercream or Ermine icing--and was very fluffy and not overly sweet. I served alongside the Fine Cooking hot chocolate cake and lemon cake, and this cake was the crowd favorite!
So happy to find this recipe. It was perfect. Moist, fluffy and not so yellow.
I used this recipe to make my twin daughters homemade "naked" confetti cake for their 6th birthday. The batter made 3, even 8 in round cakes. I did brush with simple syrup to keep it moist. I made a go to butter cream recipe (not fine cooking). But they decorated very well and the cake was delicious! I will make again.


Cowrie shells are revered symbols of feminine power. In the Persian Gulf and Pacific Oceans, seafarers of antiquity would adorn their vessels with cowries in order to call upon the ocean spirits, looking for protection from the Goddess of the Sea. The cowrie is a powerful shell charged with centuries of female energy, a perfect adornment for all you powerful goddesses.
Keep the beach close to your heart with our cowrie shell choker with movable bead detail on waterproof cords in coffee, mocha, or bronze (shown with hearts). Beautiful, natural piece for layering or a simple statement piece to add to your collection, so pretty!
Also available with gold metal detail. Contact us for a quick custom order.

There reaches a point in any painting that you can't take it any further. Many times the whole thing has collapsed under weight of the decisions made during the creation of the work. Other times you just know enough is enough. Well I think I have reached that point with this. No more tinkering…honest!

Sometimes a dream comes true–on Friday and Saturday night I'll be in Ohio performing with Naomi Shihab Nye, one of my poetry heroes. The people at the Hocking HIlls Festival of Poetry are so welcoming, so warm, so full of fun and love of life. Alan Cohen, the organizer, is an inspiration for how to live poetically, how to support other people in their dreams, how to grow community. God I love what happens when people get together to play poetry … if you're anywhere near Logan, Ohio, the shows are free both nights.

I will keep this a brief mission statement. For awhile now I have heard the many arguments of artists on which program is better, after effects, or nuke, and how there seems to be a very fine line and not too many artists who cross over to both worlds.
I decided to bridge that gap, it is obvious the power of both nuke and after effects. I think one thing after effects has a leg up on is the ease of access to great tutorials, specifically from VideoCopilot.net. Andrew Kramer and his team did an amazing job letting people like me and others learn AE easily.
I'd like to take the VideoCopilot tutorials and "convert" them into nuke tutorials. I will start at the bottom and go all the way through. so those familiar with after effects from Andrew's videos will have no more excuse to jump into nuke and vice versa.
I must say I have not touched after effects much in the past few years, so it will be a Journey for me to not only learn the VideoCopilot's tuts and techniques for after effects, but to then figure out the best way to get similar results using Nuke.
I think it will be fun and I hope everyone will learn a thing or two.
I will post the first videos shortly.

Insolvency: De Facto Directorship – Top Ten Tips on How to Evidence It
3rd May, 2018
Mark Baldwin of our Insolvency Service team considers what can be done to show that a person has acted as a de facto director.
A person who has acted as if he were a company director, whilst not formally registered at Companies House as a director of a company, is termed a "de facto" director. A de facto director owes the same statutory duties to the company as formally appointed directors and may therefore be sued by the company for breaches of those duties. A de facto director may also be subject to directors' disqualification action under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
Accordingly the status of those not formally appointed as directors of a company may become important, particularly after the insolvency of a company.
The courts have, over the recent past, come up with various formulations as to what constitutes a de facto director, but broadly speaking a de facto director is a person who acts on an equal footing with those directing the company's affairs. So what evidence shows that someone has acted as a de facto director?
1. Holding Out / Job Title
Has the company or the individual represented to the outside world that he is a director? Correspondence/emails/business cards from the company/individual which include the individual being described as a "director" are extremely helpful.
2. Who Holds the Purse Strings
One of the main directorial roles in a business is deciding who gets paid and when. Was the individual on the bank mandate? Did he sign cheques? Who did the bank deal with? Who did the accounting staff take their instructions from in relation to payment? The weight of this evidence will depend on the company's banking structure as some accounting employees may be on the mandate too.
3. Who Did the Hiring and Firing
Staff management is another directorial function and involvement in the recruitment and dismissal of staff, especially at a high level in the organisation, is indicative of management control. Company-wide emails to staff may also assist in showing the relevant level of control.
4. Who Dealt with the Customers
Negotiating major contracts with customers or dealing with any issues arising with customers may also assist. If customers all identify the individual as their main contact and not the other directors that is a good indicator.
5. Who Dealt with the creditors
The creditors may also be a source of evidence if they have dealt predominantly with the individual and not the appointed directors.
6. Who Dealt with the Company's Advisers
Another factor to consider is who was the source of the company's instructions to its accountants, solicitors and other advisers? Again if these emanated from the individual rather than or in conjunction with the appointed directors that is another strong indicator. In an insolvency situation the identity of the people who originally consulted with the prospective insolvency practitioner and who provided information post appointment is another factor that can assist.
7. Pay and Benefits
Another consideration is the level of the individual's remuneration and benefits when compared to the formally appointed directors. If it is on a par with them and above the general level of staff pay, that is another useful piece of evidence.
8. What Do the Directors Say
This may have to be treated with caution as the directors may have their own agendas in seeking to pass blame to or exonerate the individual.
9. Shareholding
This can go either way, but a majority shareholding may indicate control.
10. Board Meetings
Properly documented board meetings are a rare thing these days, but presence at board meetings and participation in strategic decisions is another factor which may indicate de facto directorship.
The more of the above factors that can be evidenced to show that the individual was on an equal footing with the appointed directors the better, but all cases are fact specific, and the outcome can be extremely difficult to predict.

Tiffany Foster (* 24. Juli 1984 in Vancouver, British Columbia) ist eine kanadische Springreiterin.

Karriere

Achtjährig begann Foster zu reiten. Später zog sie nach Langley, wo sie mit Brent und Laura Balisky trainierte. Seit 2006 trainiert sie bei Olympiasieger Eric Lamaze in Schomberg.

Ihre ersten Olympischen Spiele ritt sie 2012 in London, wo sie die erste Qualifikation mit acht Fehlern beendete. Da ihr Pferd Victor am zweiten Tag aufgrund einer Hypersensibilität an der linken Vorderhand disqualifiziert wurde, schrumpfte die kanadische Mannschaft auf drei Teilnehmer: Eric Lamaze, Ian Millar und Jill Henselwood. Ursache für die Disqualifikation des Pferdes war eine kleine Wunde an der Befundstelle, Hinweise für eine Manipulation gäbe es nicht.

Bei den Panamerikanischen Spielen 2015 in Toronto war sie mit Tripple X III Teil der kanadischen Equipe, die die Mannschaft-Silbermedaille gewann.

Im August 2012 befand sie sich auf Rang 124 der Weltrangliste.

Verletzungen
Im Jahr 2008 brach sie sich während des Trainings mit einem jungen Pferd den Rücken. Obwohl die Ärzte befürchteten, dass sie nie wieder laufen könne, war sie bei den Olympischen Spielen in Peking bereits wieder zu Fuß als Unterstützer der kanadischen Mannschaft unterwegs.

Privates
Als Kind war sie in einem Werbespot für ein Kinderspielzeug zu sehen.

The World's Poorest Most at Risk From Drought, Conflict
By Brian Kahn
Follow @blkahn
Agriculture is the key source — and in many cases, the only source — of income for many living in the developing world. When drought hits, it has the potential to take away everything and unravel the threads that stitch together society.
New findings published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science are part of a burgeoning body of literature showing how climate change can lead to conflict. It shows that drought exacerbates existing conflicts in some of the poorest countries and the farmers who are most dependent on a stable climate for their livelihoods. The findings highlight why climate change is intimately tied with development, national security and morality.

The impact of climate change on conflict is an area of intense research and interest. With carbon pollution expected to continue altering the climate, knowing its impact on conflict would be a major asset to researchers and policymakers looking to make the world a more peaceful place.
A number of previous studies have studied climate and conflict. Among the more tantalizing findings was that drought in Syria helped spark the subsequent civil war that has torn the country asunder. Rather than taking a high-level view as a number of previous studies have or focusing on a specific conflict, the new research zooms in to the subnational level in Africa and Asia and looks at drought during the growing season.
Climate Change a 'Contributing Factor' in Syrian Conflict
Climate & Conflict: Warmer World May be More Violent
Weather Disasters Can Fuel War in Volatile Countries
The results show that drought during growing seasons can prolong or intensify existing conflicts, though it's not as likely to spark new ones.
"This effect is most pronounced in countries that are not very developed economically," said Nina von Uexkull, a peace and conflict researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden who led the new study. "It's also pronounced in groups excluded from political power."
Von Uexkull's findings also show that groups heavily reliant on agriculture are most at-risk. In essence, drought preys on already weak groups and institutions, eating away at what little stability they have. The results specifically show that drought increases the odds of conflict by about 5 percent.
That might sound small, but Marshall Burke, an economist at Stanford University, said the number belies how big that risk might be even in communities where the linkage seems relatively weak.
"This could represent like a 50 percent or greater increase in the probability of conflict," Burke said in an email. "That is a HUGE effect."
Research and reality have regularly pointed to the fact the world's poorest will be hit the hardest by climate change. The findings are the latest to underscore how climate change is as much a development and justice issue as it is an environmental one.

"This important study sheds light on the importance of context when examining the complex and often controversial relationship between climate, drought and conflict," said Colin Kelley, a researcher at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society who authored the research on Syria. "Existing vulnerability, due to a host of potential factors, is extremely important when considering the impact that drought may (or may not) have on civil conflict."
The findings could add fuel to the discussion at United Nations climate talks next month in Morocco, which will focus on the thorny topic of loss-and-damage or how developed countries will help developing countries recover from climate and weather disasters. With climate change expected to make dry places drier and increase the incidence of drought in some locations, the findings could make conflict a bigger part of the loss-and-damage discussion.
For all the bad news in the study, there's also a sliver of good news. Groups that are more stable and have access to diverse sources of income aren't as prone to conflict following drought. Von Uexkull said the findings are a compelling case for targeting international development in a way that also helps people adapt to changes in the climate.
"It's extremely important from an climate adaptation point of view to understand these circumstances," she said. "It will help design policies in areas where this relationship occurs and where in the future climate change will make drought worse."

This fun scrappy quilt is quick to put together and great for beginners. Use lots of different colors to keep it bright and fun…or just a few colors to keep it calm and simple.
2 white strips 1 1/2″ x width of the fabric (at least 42″).
2. Lay the color strips out in the order you want them.
3. Using a 1/4″ seam allowance, sew the strips into pairs first…then sew the pairs all together. Alternate the sewing direction when sewing the strips/pairs together, and don't pull the strips…this will help prevent stretching and keep the strips straight.
4. Press the seams open. This takes a bit more time but the nice straight seams are worth it!
5. Fold the length of the quilt top in half and align it carefully on the cutting mat. Trim the edges straight until the quilt top is 35″ wide.
6. With the quilt still on the cutting table, make a cut 8″ in from the right side. Make another cut 5″ in from the last cut.
7. Sew a white strip onto each side of the 5″ strip. Press towards the white strips and trim the ends.
8. Rotate the strip 180 degrees, and sew the strip back in between the larger pieces to make the quilt top. Press towards the white strips.
To see how I finished this quilt see the post here.
This is adorable, and looks like you can whip it up in an afternoon!
Love the quilt ! Your directions are very thorough and easy to understand. Am going to make this. Thank you, will be following your blog. Have a blessed day!
Love the quilt but did you use any batting between your quilt and the backing fabric?
Love the variety of designs and colours!! Thanks for sharing this tutorial and the tips!!!
This is so simple but awesome!!! I love all of the colors! Wonder how it would look from a jelly roll…maybe with a Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton Roll Up!!!
Wondering, did you ever try this using the jelly roll? If do, what changes did you you make! Thanks…… just a beginner but trying to learn !
I haven't used a jelly roll but I've seen it done…I would just make it a tad wider!
I made it with a jelly roll yesterday….calling it my Mother's Day Quilt…I saw that the strips were 2″ instead of 2.5″ and said "no way am I doing all that trimming" so I used 21 strips total instead of 27 which is almost the same finished dimensions, and now I have 20 strips left that I can make another quilt! I used the Confetti jelly roll. Love it! Wish I could post a picture of it.
I would use various strip widths to make it even more interesting & of course, use more of ones left overs then when you flip the smaller section you won't have to worry about matching seams.
Fast and easy ~ my kind of sewing! Thanks so much for the tutorial ~ such a bright and cheery quilt.
Thanks Allison! I always love your work!
I love this! It's super clever. It might become my go-to baby quilt pattern!
Very nice. Wish I had a lot of those colors in my stash, but a perfect inspiration to keep adding…Thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous but oh so fun!!!
Thank you for a great tutorial for a wonderful little quilt.
What a great way to use up some of the bits of fabric I have laying around!!
I just love this, and especially the way you flip that one piece and put it back in. Love that!
And if you go with 2.5" strips, it's jelly roll friendly! Yay!
this makes me want to quilt. well, i do want to already…this makes it look do-able for me!
I love this quilt so much! thank you for the tutorial!
Super cute, fun, and fresh. Love it!!!
I love this! I am rather new to the sewing world and was wanting to find a simple to understand pattern for a quilt. I am getting a cutting mat and new rottary cutter for my birthday, so I will have to try this out!
Thanks so much for these awesome quick tutorials. They are so good!
Your ideas and tutorials are awesome and achievable. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Too cute! Great way to use up scraps too!
this is sooo cute! thank you for sharing!
thanks for sharing this, my best friend is having a baby and now i know what I can 'attempt' to make her.
Beautiful quilt and your tutorial makes it look achievable. Thank you.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
When I saw this the other day I secretly hoped you would put up a tutorial! Love it!!
Thanks for this great easy, but effective quilt. I love it!
Great quilt. Love the colors. The strips would be super fast to cut with the AccuQuilt cutter, or the Go Baby cutter.
Thanks for sharing! What a cute and quick and simple baby quilt! I'm thinking that cutting out the piece and putting on sashing would make one of those 2 1/2 strip "race" quilts more interesting!? ding, ding, ding!!
love this idea, it's so effective but super fast and easy!!
Am going to 'pin' it now so I don't lose it. thanks so much for taking the time to blog it. Cat.
Fast, fun, and cute is such a satisfying way to sew! Nice work, as usual!
This is great work! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tutorial. You make it look so simple– would love to give it a try.
Really pretty and super fun! I think this would be a great project to do with a jelly roll (just so I don't have to cut the strips).
i just found your blog… where has it been all my life! haha…ive spent the past 2 hours exploring and im so excited about what iv'e found! this quilt in particular. i will be whipping it up soon! thanks for sharing!!!
Love your tutorial and the quilt is just beautiful. Love the fun colors. May even give it a go this weekend.
What a great quilt! Another winner from Cluck Cluck Sew!
Lov'n your blog and you are making me want to sew again! Beautiful work!
this is BRILLIANT! thank you so much for the tutorial! love your fabric choices, too!
I just want you to know, I found your site through Pinterest, a post of this adorable quilt ! I am primarily a food blogger, but sometimes sewing, quilting and crocheting are what relaxes me more ! You have an absolutely beautiful site, and just browsing through has relaxed me for my day ! Thank you !
simply wonderful and creative. I love that it flips the pattern and that it uses so many different patterns, and colors.
How fantastic would this be with a jelly roll from V & Co's new Simply Color line? So easy and pretty!
My first attempt at making this quilt is at the link below. I found the idea here on your blog so I thought I would share. Thanks so much for the great idea!
This. Is. Awesome. Just saw the link at "The Name Game" at "Live a Colorful Life". Now you've got me inspired. Beautiful simplicity. Thanks for sharing!
This quilt is just perfect. I have just discovered this site and I think it's fantastic. Thank you. No. 1 fan.
Hi Allison! I love this and it's in my "quilting queue" that's for sure. I just heard that someone placed the child's name on the strip…wouldn't that also be awesome? So many options on placement on that one, huh? Blessings on your New Year!
Cute, cute quilt! Thanks for the tutorial!!
Made one this weekend for my daughter. I love it – it was so simple – yet stunning results. Thanks for the tut!!
<3 <3 <3 THANK YOU! I needed a quick finish and a new blankey for my foster baby. With one modification, this was done in a couple hours. (I did 4" strips instead of 2") Came out SUPER cute!!!!
I love your designs. But I have one question for this lovely quilt. How did you cut the long strip straight? Did you fold the fabric half the WOF? I had a difficult time doing a straight cut when I folded the fabric before. Thank you.
I'm fairly new to quilting but I just had to try making this one. The excuse I used was some friends of ours were expecting their 2nd child. The color scheme was grey, purple & lime green (in the new nursery.) I used purple minky for the back & purchased lime green satin blanket binding to finish the edges. I couldn't believe it turned out as neat as it did! Keeping all those strips straight was a bit tough but I managed some how.
I came across your blog when I saw a pin on Pinterest. This is amazing. I really want to start quilting, but all of it seems so difficult and confusing. This seems like something even I can do!
wow, I really like this quilt pattern. I am going to make it for sure. they would make great gifts. It looks very fun and easy to make.
Wow!!! Love love love :). Thanks for sharing the tutorial. It's now on my do make list :).
I used this tutorial to make an ombre quilt! Thanks so much for sharing!
I just found your tutorial post through Southern Fabric. I like the simplicity but being somewhat new, I have a question: How do you keep track of alternating sewing direction for the strip pairs? Thank you!
I love this idea, but the pictures don't show up in the tutorial. I would love to see them.
Thanks for sharing the quilt and directions!
I was wondering how you'd quilt this? Try to follow the stripe pattern or do something more flowy?
I would recommend pressing the seams AWAY from the white strip (… press to the dark side).
I love the way the white helps contain the strips. I love scrappy, but it can be a bit much. This is a great balance of crazy and calm.
I bet this would work fabulously with strings (strips of varying widths), too.
I LOVE THIS QUILT …. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE …. every time i see it, it makes my heart smile and my eyes happy …. i need one just like it ….
I love your quilt. I'm going to use a smaller variation of your technique to create a tote bag or perhaps a journal cover. I love it so much I want to be able to look at it all the time!!
How did you quilt this? Machine or free-motion! And what pattern did you use?
I'll also stick the link at the bottom of the post in case the link in the comments doesn't work. Thanks!
The perfect quilt for a beginner. My granddaughter made her first quilt just before her 6th birthday. It was simply sewing twenty 8 inch blocks together, enveloping and tying it. she is now 7 and this one is perfect for her next pattern. It looks easy to do from a quilter's standpoint but non quilters with think it was hard to do. Thank you for giving us such a cute pattern. Her cousin's baby is due in September, so we better get started. P.S. Grandma still does the cutting.
Made this as a baby quilt for a little boy. Used batiks and blue fabric for the plain strips. I embroiders the name and birthdate of the baby in the blue strips. Fast and easy and a great gift. Thanks for the tutorial!
Love the pattern. I'm headed to my stash right now! Thanks!
Your quilts are gorgeous and the colors also. All your quilts are so fresh looking. I never bought material in just a plain color. Thank you for sharing your tips from now on I will try it also.
Thanks for the tutorials and the beautiful pictures.
Guess not understanding how this is a quilt as you go….no backing, no batting.
This is not a Quilt as you go quilt Karen…you are right!
I made this out of Christmas fabric to donate to charity, super cute and easy to follow!!!!!
I plan to make this with 1 change. I will substitute a piece of plain fabric for the 5″ flipped section and use the cut out one in another quilt.
That will be really cute!
Very nice! I really like this! But how do I get it as a pdf?
