← The undrafted free agents: Tim Schaller
On leadership and GoT's Lady Lyanna Mormont →
July 30, 2016 2016 Bruins Offseason, Boston Bruins, Kevan Miller, Pop Culture	Adam McQuaid, Claude Julien, Colin Miller, Don Sweeney, Dougie Hamilton, Kevan Miller, Kris Russell, Torey Krug, Wayne Gretzky, Zdeno Chara 2 Comments
The undrafted free agents: Kevan Miller
Next in the undrafted free agents series covering the Boston Bruins is California-bred, Massachusetts and Vermont-developed defensive defenseman Kevan Miller. He caught Boston's eye during a late-season ATO with the Providence Bruins in 2011, and then got an invite to the team's rookie camp and main training camp that fall. I still remember traveling to Nassau Coliseum and seeing him get involved in a major donnybrook to start the second of the two-game series between the B's and Islanders rooks. Miller earned an NHL contract a few weeks later, and by the midway point of 2013-14, was playing in the NHL full-time.
He's a classic American story of hard work and overcoming hurdles, and yet Miller may be one of the more criticized players on the Boston roster, despite an impressive body of work in the realm of analytics that we'll attempt to shine some light on later on.
This is his story.
Hard as a Rock: Kevan Miller
When it comes to Kevan Miller, few players are more polarizing to a respective fanbase than he is to supporters of the Boston Bruins. Here's a video courtesy of friend "Dafoomie":
The soon-to-be 29-year-old defenseman should be one of those feel good stories in hockey- a California born-and-raised defenseman who went East in high school, rose to the University of Vermont captaincy, and after being ignored in the NHL draft, willed his way into the Boston lineup less than three years after turning pro. Instead, he's become a convenient scapegoat- a player who is an easy target for frustrations because he was asked to play a bigger role than the one to which he is best suited.
Miller was a few months away from his first birthday when the Los Angeles Kings made "the trade" to bring Wayne Gretzky to Tinseltown in August, 1988. Raised in Santa Clarita, Miller represents the first generation of players who were born when Gretzky arrived and went on to reach the highest levels of professional hockey thanks in large part to the hockey boom the Great One inspired in Southern California. Miller wasn't the first Golden Stater to make the big time, nor is he the most successful, but all things considered, the guy who the Bruins took a chance on back in 2011, and who recently earned a four-year NHL extension is much better than he gets credit for.
I realize this won't be a popular opinion to some, who will rightly cite some of Miller's bungled plays leading directly to goals as proof positive that he should be exiled forever to the lower rungs of the professional hockey ladder, never to take another shift for the Bruins. Of course, the flip side of that is- show me any NHL defenseman who plays enough minutes at this level, and you'll see some poor plays that lead to bad goals. Like the dead people in the Sixth Sense, once folks lock onto a favorite target- they'll see what they want to see, so if Miller is a bum, it's easy to single him out for abuse.
The purpose of this post is not to argue that Miller is a potential All-Star, nor is it to feed into the idea that he's a drag on the rest of his team and was not worthy of the $2.5M AAV and four-year investment the B's made in him.
As is usually the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Miller is a fairly vanilla defender: he's an average skater without much in the way of quick acceleration, but who is rugged and plays with an edge. His offensive numbers are better than one would expect for a shutdown style 'D' without high-end skills. He's a natural leader and former prep (Berkshire School) and college captain who is a respected teammate and put in tremendous work to reach the NHL.
Here's an interesting study on the top defenders from last season, posted on Reddit by ChrisCFTB97
It's a thoughtful, analytics-driven look at the most effective defensemen in the NHL from last season, and while advanced stats don't tell the whole story, Miller's numbers when compared to those of Zdeno Chara and Colin Miller, the other two teammates the author used for the study (boy, I sure would've liked to see him use Torey Krug here), are pretty favorable. If anything- it directly contradicts the idea propagated around the Internet that Miller is "horrible" or "can't defend."
Here's the HERO (Horizontal Evaluative Rankings Optic) chart comparing Miller to that of trade deadline darling Kris Russell, done courtesy of the most excellent hockey analytics source and blog Own The Puck by MimicoHero http://ownthepuck.blogspot.com:
Kevan Miller's HERO chart courtesy of Own the Puck/@MimicoHero http://ownthepuck.blogspot.com
The numbers don't lie. When it comes to things that matter on defense such as shot suppression and possession, Miller clearly has the advantage over Russell and it isn't close. Again- advanced stats aren't the be-all, end-all when it comes to debating the merits of an NHL player, but Miller is nothing if a serviceable defender who actually looks like a solid bargain at $10M/2.5M per through age 32.
Now, some of the friction points working against Miller could lie in the following observations:
Both of Miller and Adam McQuaid on the 2016-17 Bruins roster is problematic. They're both right shots and bring similar attributes in terms of style and substance. McQuaid is bigger and not as adept offensively, but both are nasty and because of the physical toll their rugged style takes on their bodies, they've missed significant time to injuries in each of the past several NHL campaigns. Neither guy is a classic top-4 player (though if you look at the advanced metrics Miller is closer to that between the two), and when you add up their cap numbers, it's far too much green to invest in a pair of guys like that. To say that Miller is incapable of making a positive impact is wrong. To argue that having both of Miller and McQuaid on the Boston roster puts the team at a disadvantage is a far more effective way of looking at it. One or the other…Miller or McQuaid. Something should give before the season starts because the pair effectively blocks a younger player from establishing himself at the NHL level, and if either one is on Claude Julien's top pairing (and even middle pair is an issue), then this is not a playoff-caliber defense.
The tail end of observation No. 1 leads to a second significant challenge with Miller and that is simply- the B's put him in a position to fail last season. At times, he was expected to carry the mail in a top-three role with expanded minutes and special teams, and naturally- his limitations were exposed. Miller is effective closer to the bottom of an NHL rotation, and he's capable of being a solid matchup play and at even strength, when he doesn't have his hands full as much with opponents who can make good use of added time and space. He's not as big as Hal Gill was, but Miller is a better all-around player and defender. Unfortunately, like Gill later on in his Boston career- Miller has become an easy target with fans who just want to blame someone when a goal is scored against, never mind that the opposition's top scorer was able to exploit a 1-on-1 matchup with the game but limited Miller.
Let's face it- sometimes, it's all about draft pedigree. Fans want to get behind sexy draft picks and big names- they tend to be much more skeptical of and harder on guys like Miller who come in as unknowns and outplay the "big guns." Go back to the Reddit link I posted and look at some of Dougie Hamilton's numbers in those categories. He's better than Miller in a couple, egregiously worse in others. In the end, Kevan Miller's 84.5 average (lower is better) across the various evaluated categories is better than Hamilton's 98.2. One guy was drafted 9th overall in 2011, the other one had to make it on an invitation, fight his way onto the team and has managed to stick. Again- you can't just hang your hat on the analytics, and no one in their right mind would trade Miller for Hamilton even-steven (no, not even Don Sweeney, guys- but nice try). The difference is- one player is making half of what the other guy makes, and maybe that $2.5AAV isn't so terrible after all. (One more time- *not* saying Miller is better than Hamilton- put the straw man down) It's all in how you use him, folks. That's a legitimate debate to have, but you can't do it in a vacuum- context matters.

Okay- we had some fun with the image, but it's tongue-in-cheek from this blog space. The reality is- TSP has time for Miller. He's an honest, hard-nosed player who will give you every ounce of what he has. Unfortunately, in a results-oriented business, that alone isn't going to lead his Bruins team to success, so the onus is on the GM to upgrade the talent around Miller so that he can be a capable and serviceable piece.
And therein lies the rub- I don't think fans inherently dislike Miller at all. In fact, he was pretty popular when he first showed up and was hitting, fighting and playing solid D at a near veteran minimum cap hit. Alas- he lacks the high-end talent to be a firm top-4 NHL D, even if the analytics indicate he has a chance at it. Realistically- the more he plays, the more people will see him get burned, but by the same token, he suppresses a lot of chances he simply doesn't get credit for because human nature means that those with an axe to grind will dwell on the mistakes.
Ultimately- Miller has been a nice find by the Boston scouting staff. He's scrapped for every opportunity, but he's a smart, driven guy- derailed a bit by shoulder injuries and the ruggedness of his style of play. On the downside- Miller and McQuaid are two fine soldiers, but the team can't really afford to keep both. It's the tough part of the business, but you figure the B's signed the former before he could hit unrestricted free agency for a reason.
We'll have to see what Sweeney and Co's vision is for the defense and where Miller fits in, but he deserves a more even shake than the one he's gotten. In the right role, he's a lot like what these guys are singing:
Take it away, Millsy.

When I saw that Reddit post at the time I was really surprised. I think Killer wasn't in the initial post but someone commented asking to see his analysis (presumably thinking it would be awful) and I was really shocked.
Do you think maybe fans give Kevan a bad rap because his mistakes are just easily visible? Like that one, now infamous .gif of him hopping around on all fours in front of the net trying to block a shot. (https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/1WBW2a2_7zWTEwRICYyEmLS2wCs=/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/5884833/KMillerCrabWalk.0.gif)
Obviously no defenseman will prevent every goal and especially not a guy like Killer who really isn't getting paid to. I think it's unfair to blame him for the problems of the defense and I feel a little bad for the guy, he definitely hears the criticism, coming out and saying he needed to step up last year.
To me, he'll be eternally awesome, simply for that epic fight when he broke Joe Vitale's face.

He's no different than Matt Bartkowski trying to play top 4 minutes in the 2014 playoffs.
Then, an injury led to that scenario. This time, it is mismanagement.

How did Central England Co-op raise its Corporate Responsibility Index?
The society's Hannah Gallimore tells how a focus on community, environment, marketplace and workplace improved the rating
By Co-operative News
Tony Carroll (deputy chief executive) and Martyn Cheatle (chief executive) with the BITC CR Index certificate
Business in the Community's Corporate Responsibility Index (CR Index) is the UK's leading voluntary benchmark of corporate responsibility. It provides businesses with a framework to measure, manage and integrate responsible business practice into mainstream business strategy and operations – and allows businesses to benchmark against competitors and to transparently communicate progress to stakeholders.
At the start of Business in the Community's Responsible Business Week (24-28 April 2017), Central England Co-operative revealed that it is celebrating being awarded 4.5 stars out of five in the CR Index. This marks a ratings leap from 2.5 stars in just 12 months, and is a "credit to the colleagues across the society", according to chief executive Martyn Cheatle.
"Our new CR Index score is based on recognition for a wide range of initiatives and projects," he adds, "including measurement of the impact our community investment has had in the areas in which we serve, sustainable procurement, training, environmental management, and supplier support."
"It also highlights our continued efforts to develop our community partnerships, help raise funds for charity, engage with young people and reduce waste."
In the 2017 Index, which businesses could apply for on an individual basis, Central England Co-operative achieved a score of 98%, rising from 87% in 2016.
"Every business should do something significant for society by being a force for good in the community, but that's only possible if companies are able to measure the progress they are making as responsible businesses," says Amanda Mackenzie, Business in the Community chief executive.
"I congratulate Central England Co-operative for achieving its score and look forward to working together to create a fairer society and a more sustainable future."
So how did they achieve the improved rating? Hannah Gallimore, corporate responsibility manager at Central England Co-operative, offers an insight into the challenges, the changes and what the organisation has learned along the way…
The society has focused on four key areas
Challenging ourselves to make progress
Being a responsible business is about building strong and sustainable values and ensuring we are doing what is right for our customers, colleagues and suppliers, while making a positive contribution to society and ensuring we play a role in protecting the environment.
For Central England Co-operative, our Corporate Responsibility strategy works towards this by focusing on four areas – community, environment, marketplace and workplace. All have equal importance, and work involving all four themes has played a major part in our CR Index score rising from 2.5 stars to 4.5.
This work has involved engaging with senior management to ensure that the correct amount of time, resources and budget were available to achieve the goals within each area. This effort has been driven and supported by deputy chief executive Tony Carroll.
Hannah Gallimore, corporate responsibility manager
We chose to take a closer look at the four CR Index areas, to make sure our goals and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were fit for purpose and aligned with our overall plans and goals as a Co-operative business. There are three key reasons why we have been able to make such a leap in our CR Index score this year.
The first involved being brave enough to recognise and challenge ourselves when something has not worked and then being able to shift focus to areas of real importance for our colleagues and our communities.
Secondly, we have undertaken a greater level of reporting when it comes to what we do as a society in terms of corporate responsibility.
This has meant that, in the past 12 months, we have compiled and published a CR report and an innovative and ground-breaking Social Return on Investment Report (SROI).
This approach has allowed us to make significant progress with the third reason we have improved our CR index score, which is related to having better data and using it effectively.
We are now able to see the real impact of our work via our SROI report, which shows that every £1 we spend in our communities equates to an investment impact of £20.50.
We use this information to ensure we make data driven decisions in the future that we can fully evidence and support.
As part of our work in the run-up to the announcement of the CR Index, we worked with BITC and experienced partner Simply Sustainable to make sure we were reporting and focusing on areas that really matter.
The society has installed more than 150 defibrillators at its sites
As a result of this, BITC highlighted several areas that played a key part in us achieving such an impressive score.
They praised our efforts to develop and implement an environmental management system, our clear and flexible procurement strategy with suppliers, our efforts with colleagues around gender and pay, and our Social Return on Investment strategy for our communities.
Overall our new CR Index score of 4.5 has been down to great support in making and challenging our decisions, undertaking greater reporting and using that information to better inform our plans for the future.
Corporate responsibility is about using what you do well as a business to make a difference for your colleagues, customers and the communities in which you serve.
The reason we have seen a major leap in our CR Index score has been down to the hard work of our colleagues and by ensuring that we have and remain properly focused on our aims and objectives."
Six projects that played a key part in Central England's Corporate Responsibility strategy:
The installation of over 150 defibrillators at food stores and funeral homes across its trading area
The society hands over a payment from its Community Dividend Fund
The Community Dividend Fund, which recently gave out over £52,000 to 26 groups
Its Funeral business offers The Rainbow Package – a complimentary service for children 17 and under
The reduction of its carbon footprint by 26.3% since 2010
The society has signed the Time to Change Employer Pledge to raise awareness about mental health
Its colleague survey received a response rate of 87%

26 Claims For Compensation For Silicosis Prompts Australian Government To Say Not To Dry Cutting Engineered Quartz.
An urgent warning to stone fabricators to stop dry cutting engineered quartz has been issued to fabricators in Australia by the Queensland government. This is following 26 recent new claims of compensation for silicosis due to exposure to stone dust.
This has prompted Grace Grace, the Industrial Relations Manager, to issue a statement advising employers to immediately stop the dry cutting of engineered quartz and threatening enforcement for those found failing to protect its employees from overexposure to this harmful dust.
Silicosis is an aggressive form of pneumoconiosis, a potentially fatally debilitating respiratory disease by the inhalation of silica stone dust. Stone dust contains RCS (Respirable Crystalline Silica) and is what can lead to developing diseases such as silicosis, cancer and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
Through using the correct and appropriate controls, workers are only exposed to a very small amount of this harmful dust each day, much less than those without the same protective equipment. The failure to protect yourself results in a significantly larger amount of high concentrations of Silica inhaled.
We have already covered the dangers of Respirable Crystalline Silica in our post: Understanding the Dangers of Stone Dust.
This sudden spike caused the number of claims for compensation rose to 26, six of which regrettably had confirmed cases of progressive Massive Fibrosis, which is the final stage of the disease and is fatal. This shocking discovery is made worse by the fact this could have been preventable with better control of the dust through using the correct PPE and switching to wet cutting.
This discovery has prompted the WHSQ (Workplace Health and Safety Queensland) to audit all stone processors in Queensland, working towards creating the necessary regulations to completely prohibit the dry cutting of stone.
In the UK, the current HSE regulations require fabricators to take steps to control the risks from stone dust exposure under the control of substances hazardous to health regulations 1999 (COSHH), with fines in place for those failing to protect their workers from overexposure.
Wet cutting, drilling, grinding and polishing will significantly reduce the amount of stone dust in the air, as it instead forms a slurry, however it is still advised to wear PPE to reduce this risk further and better protect stoneworkers.
With the Australians new stance on this prominent issue, could the UK be the next in line to follow suit?
Here at Stonegate Precision Tooling, we've had the privilege of working with stone fabricators across both the UK and worldwide in providing them with the most innovative tooling and consumables for stone. Our work with stone fabricators has given us the first-hand expertise our customers need when choosing a key supplier to provide them with the essentials to keep them in business.

Nick Drake's "Bryter Layter" turns 50
March 19, 2021 March 19, 2021 ~ Michael Stevenson
by Laurie Hutcheson | Folkradio UK
Folk music was at the heart of the tumultuous late 60s and early 70s: troubadours created elaborate progressive folk; Al Stewart and Roy Harper employed diverse instrumentation; explorative basslines became ever more common; John Martyn and the Pentangle fused jazz rhythms and harmonies into hardwired folk, whilst Fairport convention produced angular, electric albums. Drake's producer Joe Boyd was notably present, signing the prolific Incredible String Band, who along with the likes of the Third Ear Band and Quintessence developed another 70s folk direction. It was in this world of experimentation and musical fervency that Nick Drake recorded Bryter Layter.
Drake's producers, friends and labelmates pushed at the forefront of experimentation as his iconic sound matured. But it's easy to see him as apart or distant from this world. Even on the cover of Bryter Layter, his most collaborative work, he's shrouded in shadow – a promise of the quiet, dark place we enter through his songs. Drake was described by his close, protective friend John Martyn as the most withdrawn person he'd ever met, whilst Nick's long-time producers Wood and Boyd recall his hesitation to stamp his authority when recording 'Five Leaves Left' and his despondent frailty in the 'Pink Moon' sessions. Bryter Layter, however, is distinct, and with the benefit of distance that time provides, it is, I think, Drake at his most ambitious and coherent – proactively responding to the vibrant musical world around him.
A clear example of Drake's control and steel-mindedness on Bryter Layter can be seen in his choice of musicians. Even against the influential personalities of his producers, Drake was driven by his own vision, dismissing their string arrangements. As Wood told Arthur Lubow, 'He said he'd got his friend, Robert Kirby, who had never done anything in a recording studio.'
This personal stamp of decision making is seen as the album opens. Drake's overture, the first of three instrumentals Nick insisted on against Boyd's wishes, features lilting, delicate guitar swirls throughout – drawing attention among the sombre sweep of Kirby's strings. It's gentle crafting of a mournful yet playful veil of sound hints at mortality and loss as it scatters around. Hazey Jane II whisks the veil back into the air, lacing it with layers of Richard Thompson's intricate guitar. A rhythmic skip is provided by Dave Mattack and Dave Pegg, also of Fairport Convention, who appear throughout the record, enriching the albums rhythm section with the dulcet backbeat of their well-honed dialogue, evidence of Drake's relish of the ever-expanding folk pallet. Drake later delves into what were prominent contemporary tropes (perhaps dating the album somewhat for the modern listener), with the use of Lyn Dobson's flute on the title track and John Cale's viola, celeste and harpsichord contributions to sprawling folk jams, Fly and Northern Sky.
Drake was an admirer of the Beach Boys, and drummer Mike Kowalski brings a crucial element to Bryter Layter, his contributions offering poignant moments of fragility. Poor boy offers another twist and change of pace; uneasiness subtly imbued with the offbeat stabs of Drake's guitar, referencing the 60s New York jazz of Jimmy Smith. Accompanying this is a deftly frantic drumming and gospel undertow bolstered by melodic Bossa Nova phrasing. Tension heightens as Drake floats 'where will I stay tonight,' leading into the rhythmic solo of Chris McGregor, a force in both jazz and African music, bringing with him echoes of the harmonic inventiveness of McCoy Tyner shimmying through the piano.
The veil sweetly draped from note one remains throughout, as hints of Dylan and Van Morrison's lilting, ethereal lyrical influences adorn the album in half-rhymes. Other American influences can perhaps be seen in some of Drake's guitar work, the sparser arpeggiated moments, often indulged with chromatic changes and major to minor shifts, such as in One of These Things First, evoking the American musicians he became enamoured with: Peter, Paul and Mary, Joni Mitchell on Song to a Seagull, and the older folk masters such as Josh White.
This is an album brimming with influences, stripped down and reeled together in a sequence of dreams, helping Bryter Layter stand out not just among Drake's haunting discography, but against the whole era. It is an album of contemporary decision, led by Drake.
Conversely, Drake was rarely cited as an influence in his time, adding all the more fuel to his image of doomed inertia. However, the closing song on the album, Sunday bears a startling resemblance to Bowie's Kooks released the following year, perhaps the first of many debtors – an impact unknown by Drake himself.
Reviewers of the time slated the album's 'boring pace' and 'less than tuneful vocal performance' as Drake failed to accompany it with publicity or live performance – and endured his second disappointing sales result. He slowly drifted into the image he's perhaps known best for today – secluded at his parents isolated home, driving aimlessly across the countryside until he ran out of fuel; shy, unassuming and self-destructive. But Bryter Layter shows none of this later despondence, filled with understanding and influence, it's a conscious (although failed) shot at 1970's stardom.
Slipping at the time under the radar of culture's fickle eye, Bryter Layter now gently transcends its dated moments, showcasing the era's developments. It delivers in abundance what is perhaps some of folk music's best quality, to allow us to glimpse the fleeting intangible parts of us, act as a vessel to this visceral realm – forever slipping through our fingers in the vice-like grip of the modern world.

Ridley's original Noah was one of the first aerodynamic bikes designed purely for the road, and the all-new FB version has taken the concept to previously unseen territory.
Because the UCI's minimum weight of 6.8kg is now easy for manufacturers to achieve, advantages need to be found elsewhere. For Ridley, that's meant creating a bike that's as slippery through the air as possible. At 40kph a rider is using more than two-thirds of their total power conquering air resistance; reduce that and you're gaining free speed for the same effort. The Fast frame has three features to achieve this: an F-Surface treatment, an F-Split fork design and an F-Brake.
Aerofoil shapes are good at cutting into the air, but problems arise if the airflow detaches from the surface. The F-Surface treatment places a textured finish at the most important areas, making the air detach then re-attach. Testing has shown this leads to a reduction in drag of around four percent, depending on speed. It's a small gain, but remember that's on an already very slippery bike.
A split aerofoil fork blade isn't new – Oval Concepts, in conjunction with aero engineer Jon Cobb, produced such a fork for Lance Armstrong among others. The split design combats the turbulence created when air hitting the front meets air from the spinning wheel; the split allows the air moving forwards from the spinning wheel – in the same direction you're moving – to be turned and channelled into the same path as the air from the front, reducing the turbulence and therefore drag. Testing this has shown an improvement of around seven percent.
The Noah's most obvious development is the F-Brake. We've seen brakes hidden behind fork crowns and under the rear chainstays before, all in an effort to reduce frontal area and potential turbulence-causing protrusions, but Ridley have integrated both brakes. This reduces overall weight by around 300g compared to standard brakes, and the sleeker profile has shown significant drag reduction, with fewer watts needed to achieve the same speed.
All this is meaningless if the bike doesn't deliver where necessary: on the road, underneath you. But the Noah is fast. Seriously fast. It responds to power with a brutal kick in speed. Get it into the twisty stuff and it slices through apexes with poise. It inspires confidence, and the faster you push it, the more rewarding your ride.
On our favourite piece of flat dual-carriageway we can maintain 26mph at a set heart rate on a long-term test bike; with the FB, for the same effort, this rose to 28.5mph. The Fast is ruthlessly efficient, getting up to speed quicker and requiring less effort. It's a serious race weapon, and beyond a decent saddle and bar tape it has no concessions to comfort. The ride is taut and rigid, the handling sharp and, over long distances, just a little punishing.
The innovative F-brakes also contribute to the Noah's speed, not only by improving the aerodynamics, but by affecting the way you slow down and accelerate. They use part of the fork and the rear seatstays as the arms of what is essentially a V-style mountain bike type brake, with two pivots on each arm activated by a linear horizontal cable. The feel is completely different to the latest dual-pivot callipers from the likes of Shimano or SRAM.
The arms have a very small amount of movement before they contact the rim, then when they do it's a case of increasing pressure for the amount of speed you want to scrub off. It's difficult to 'feed in' braking like you would with a callipers or to modulate pressure in the same way. The same amount of power is available, it's how you apply it that changes.
If you're the sort of rider who favours dragging the brake for longer in anticipation of a corner or stop, you'll need to adjust the way you ride. Think Formula One driver: get on the brakes, scrub off the speed, then get straight back on the power. We think the Ridley's on-off nature ends up being quicker overall, but this most definitely isn't a bike for a gentle pootle. Every time you get on you'll need to be on top of your game to get the best out of it.
As you'd expect on a bike such as this, there's pro-level gearing, here courtesy of Shimano Dura-Ace with a Rotor chainset, but the light weight and positive reaction to pedal input meant we never found ourselves wanting on climbs. The 4ZA carbon wheels have remained tight, true and the bearings smooth rolling, but the braking surface isn't up to that found on either Easton's or Zipp's latest carbon designs (we tried the Fast with both EC90SLs and 404s). The front wheel was also more affected by side winds than we've found on equivalent Zipp or HED models.
At more than £9,000 the Noah FB is astonishingly expensive, but you can see where the money is going. The frameset is available separately for £3,999. Build it up with the best kit available – essentially the meat of what's here but opting for the likes of a set of Zipp 404s – and the Noah FB would be nigh-on perfect.

Hollywood - Intim und Indiskret
Jackie Collins' Hollywood Wives is an American television miniseries based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Jackie Collins. It follows several women connected to the entertainment industry in Hollywood. Airing on ABC in February 1985, Hollywood Wives was a ratings success, capitalizing on the public's taste for opulent melodramas that dominated television ratings in the 1980s. The three-part, four-and-a-half-hour production was produced by Aaron Spelling, whose series Dynasty was number one in the ratings at the time. Like Dynasty, costume design was by Nolan Miller.
Collins herself was credited as "Creative Consultant" for the miniseries, though she later made it clear that she was not actually consulted at all during production and was less than enthusiastic about some of the casting choices.[citation needed ]
Hollywood Wives was nominated for an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Film Editing in a Limited Series or a Special" in 1985.[1]

Why Some Fans Are Glad Kourtney Kardashian Is Stepping Back From 'KUWTK'
March 6, 2020 Celebrities
Keeping Up with the Kardashians was a truly groundbreaking type of celebrity reality show when it aired. The intense focus on a single family's life that has been going on for years and years provides a rare insight into their day-to-day existence. Fans have gotten to see several of the family members (especially the Jenner sisters) literally grow up before their eyes.
Now that the Kardashian-Jenner children are all grown up and having kids of their own, the dynamics of the show have definitely changed.
Many have speculated that the family members themselves are ready to move on, but none have seemed quite so done with the project as Kourtney Kardashian. Now that she's announced she's taking a big step back, some fans are thrilled to see her leave … and their reasoning may surprise you.
Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian have been fighting about the show
Tensions have been rising between Kim and Kourtney Kardashian for a long time. Of course, since it's all televised, fans have been watching the drama unfold with excitement and anticipation. It seemed that things were really coming to a head when the pair got in a fight on the December 8 episode of the show.
The source of the tension was, in Kim's view, Kourtney's apparent disregard for her expected workload. Kourtney had made it clear that she needed firmer boundaries around her work to have a more balanced life, but Kim expressed resentment about having to pick up the slack to keep the show interesting.
Khloe Kardashian was part of the argument, too. Kourtney said, "If I have boundaries, respect them. Just because you love to show every single thing. . ."
Khloe then interrupted, saying, "I don't like to; that's our job."
The result of spat was that Kim threatened to "fire" Kourtney from the show if she wasn't going to do her fair share of the work.
The fight appears to have gotten worse
In a recently released promo for Season 18 of the show, Kim and Kourtney appear to get into a physical altercation. "Don't ever come at me like that," Kim says before standing up and taking a swing at her sister. While the promo doesn't make it clear what the fight is about, it's obvious that the tensions between these two are boiling over — at least on screen.
Some fans speculate that the fight is all faked to drum up headlines and attention for the show. Regardless of the truth behind the battle, it does seem that Kourtney is truly stepping away from her filming duties. She announced that she would be filming less and attempting to build more boundaries around her private life.
For her part, Kim expressed hope that her sister would find a balance that works for her: "I never want my sisters to be sad or upset. And I think everyone has to do what's best for them in life. So now, let's move on, let's heal and let's get on to the next thing."
Some fans are glad Kourtney Kardashian is leaving the show
Some fans are happy about Kourtney Kardashian's decision to leave the show, but it isn't for the reasons you might think. They're worried about her well being and think that a decision to step back might be the best thing for her.
"I'm really happy for her. These last few seasons I feel like we've seen her cry more than usual. It's obvious that she's not happy and she shouldn't have to share things about her private life if she doesn't want to," one commenter wrote in a Reddit thread about her departure.
Others worried about how she would make money if she stepped away. "The show has to be her main source of income right?" one commenter asked. Others chimed in that she has plenty of other ventures — including her social media endorsements and lifestyle brand Poosh — to keep her busy and wealthy.

The bug resides in a code library used in a wide range of telecommunication products, including radios in cell towers, routers, and switches, as well as the baseband chips in individual phones.
Although exploiting the heap overflow vulnerability would require great skill and resources, attackers who managed to succeed would have the ability to execute malicious code on virtually all of those devices. The code library was developed by Pennsylvania-based Objective Systems and is used to implement a telephony standard known as ASN.1, short for Abstract Syntax Notation One. "The vulnerability could be triggered remotely without any authentication in scenarios where the vulnerable code receives and processes ASN.1 encoded data from untrusted sources," researchers who discovered the flaw wrote in an advisory published Monday evening.
"These may include communications between mobile devices and telecommunication network infrastructure nodes, communications between nodes in a carrier's network or across carrier boundaries, or communication between mutually untrusted endpoints in a data network." Security expert HD Moore, who is principal at a firm called Special Circumstances, described the flaw as a "big deal" because of the breadth of gear that are at risk of complete takeover.
The library flaw also has the potential to put carrier equipment at risk if attackers figured out how to modify carrier traffic in a way that was able to exploit the vulnerability and execute malicious code. Moore went on to say the threat posed to carriers is probably smaller given the challenges of testing an exploit on the specific equipment used by a targeted carrier and the difficulty of funnelling attack code into the vulnerable parts of its network.
"A carrier-side attack would require a lot more effort and funding than targeting the mobile phone basebands," he said. "For specific attack scenarios, carriers may be able to block the traffic from reaching the vulnerable components, similar to how SMS filtering is done today."
Dan Guido, an expert in cellular phone security and the CEO of a firm called Trail of Bits, agreed that the vulnerability will be hard to exploit. But Moore also described ASN.1 as the "backbone" of today's mobile telephone system. Even in the absence of working code-execution capabilities, attackers could use exploits to trigger denial-of-service outages that could interrupt key parts of a network or knock them out altogether.
Right now, only gear from hardware manufacturer Qualcomm is known to be affected, according to this advisory from the Department of Homeland Security-backed CERT. Researchers are still working to determine if a long list of other manufacturers—including AT&T, BAE Systems, Broadcom, Cisco Systems, Deutsche Telekom, and Ericsson—are similarly affected. For the moment, there's little end users can do to insulate themselves from the threat other than to monitor advisories from device makers and carriers.
Objective Systems has released a "hotfix" that corrects the flaw, but both Guido and Moore said the difficulty of patching billions of pieces of hardware, many scattered in remote places throughout the world, meant the vulnerability is likely to remain unfixed for the indefinite future. "This kind of infrastructure just does not get patches," Guido said. "So [the vulnerability] is a stationary target that others can develop against. It's easy to set goals towards it."

Abstract:The dissemination of culture cannot be separated from the cultural identity, and that is to say culturalcommunication is based on cultural identity, especially for national culture. Theinteraction among different ethnic groupsat different times and spaces and the conflict of different concepts form the multi-level and multi-angle cultural identities,which make likely cultural spread. The new culture develops in the interaction and communion. The cultures of all ethnicgroups develop well in the process of harmonious communication. Through sorting out a lot of literature and explainingexamples of the history of Inner Mongolia culture communication, we can find the logic relation of the symbiotic andcomplement between the cultural identity and the cultural communication in both theory and practice. And at the sametime, this article will provide a typical example of empirical study to the continuing research of this subject.

President Biden on Medal of Honor recipient Alwyn Cashe: 'A warrior who literally walked through fire for his troops'
by: Chuck Williams
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Just before he gave the Medal of Honor to Alwyn Cashe's widow, Tamara, President Joe Biden summed up the dog-faced soldier this way: "Alwyn Cashe was a soldier's soldier. A warrior who literally walked through fire for his troops."
More than 16 years after the heroic rescue of his soldiers from a burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle, Sgt First Class Alwyn Cashed posthumously received the military's highest honor for valor on Thursday at a White House ceremony.
A lot of people from Cashe's family to his former commanders including Lt. Gen. Gary Brito – a former Fort Benning commander – fought for 16 years for this day.
In the East Room of the White House, Cashe's widow, Tamara, who lives here in Columbus, accepted the honor for her late husband.
Army Col. Jimmy Hathaway, a young captain in 2005, was the company commander of Cashe's unit.
"When Tam got it, it was it almost put a smile on my face as sad as the surroundings are because every single kid from the first platoon to the Alpha Company was part of that," Hathaway said.
Hathaway was there on the battle field when Cash was mortally wounded and then in the White House for the ceremony.
Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Martin Celestine was a close friend of Cashe's. And he acknowledged the historical significance of the moment. Like Hathaway, Celestine attended the ceremony.
He becomes the first African American soldier to receive the Medal of Honor since Vietnam. And the only one so honored for heroic actions in Iraq or Afghanistan.
"When you talk about the army values, his heroism, the sacrifices that he made really has nothing to do with race or gender," Celestine said. "It's all about what came from within. So even though it's not lost on me and he was the first, he really embodied the army values."
Cashe was assigned to a Fort Benning unit deployed to Iraq when an IED struck the Bradley he and the team he commanded were traveling in.
It burst into flames. He was badly burned, his uniform drenched in fuel. Time and again, Cashe went back into that burning vehicle to rescue his soldiers and the driver.
He died three weeks later stateside of injuries suffered in the attack.
Here's what President Biden said today: "The sergeant extracted himself and without hesitation turned back to the vehicle to help free the driver and extinguish the flames on the driver. In the process, Sgt. First Class Cashe's uniform drenched in fuel caught fire causing severe burns. Patrol was still staking fire, but Cashe thought only of his fellow soldiers trapped in the troop compartment."
Douglas Sterner, a Vietnam veteran, and military historian, recently told the Washington Post that Alwyn Cashe's actions on Oct. 17th, 2005, were the most clear-cut case for the Medal of Honor he's ever seen. Back to you.
In addition to Sgt. First Class Cashe the president also awarded the medal to two other soldiers. Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Celiz, an Army Ranger assigned to 75th Ranger Regiment, 1st Battalion in Savannah and Master Sgt. Earl Plumlee. Celiz, like Cashe, was awarded the medal posthumously.
Cashe becomes the second soldier this year with Columbus and Fort Benning ties to be awarded the Medal of Honor by President Biden. Retired Army Col. Ralph Puckett, a 95-year-old Columbus resident and Army Ranger, was awarded the medal in May for actions in Korea behind enemy lines in 1950.

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — One week after the arrest of local artist Benjamin Beale, better known within the New Orleans abstract art scene and "Burner" community as Kelley Kirkpatrick, the investigation continues into the gruesome discovery of the dismembered body of a 36-year-old Slidell mother of two.
Beale, who was booked Friday on the second-degree murder of Julie Dardar, had his bail increased from $400,000 to S1.4 million by Orleans Parish Magistrate Commissioner Albert Thibodeaux due to the grisly nature of the victim being beaten and strangled before being brutally butchered with a power saw and her dismembered body being stored in a freezer inside what appeared to be an old school bus-turned-mobile art project.

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) —17 years passed the receded waters of Hurricane Katrina, there are more stories to tell. During that time, an artist and his family were scrambling to save years worth of paintings. The artist was named Charles Collins Jr.
One particular piece has been recently restored to its full glory. In 1991, the Zulu Aid & Pleasure Club, commissioned Collins to create their 1991, Governor's Diamond Jubilee poster. The poster was purple and featured striking and robust colors fit for Zulu royalty. One of the composites of that original poster has resurfaced. The composite was minimally damaged in hurricane water in 2005; it is now restored and ready for viewing at the ArtSpace gallery at, 2111 Dumaine Street, Suite 203, New Orleans, LA.

The Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (often referred to as the AMO), can strongly impact global weather and is an important consideration in long-range weather prediction.
Introducing the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation
The Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation is a cyclic phenomenon of sea surface temperature anomalies in the North Atlantic Ocean. The AMO can influence the weather conditions across North America, Europe and Northern Africa with characteristic patterns occurring at different times of the year.
Over the last 150 years the AMO climate index has oscillated between positive and negative phases. The positive phase is characterized by warm SSTs over much of the North Atlantic (Figure 1*). The negative phase is a mirror image with cool surface waters over the North Atlantic (Figure 2).
*Note: World Climate Service anomalies are detrended. This means that any trend in the data between 1950 and 2020 is removed, and thus the resulting anomalies are only associated with the AMO phase specified.
Fig. 1: SST anomalies over the North Atlantic Ocean during a positive Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation
Fig. 2: SST anomalies over the North Pacific Ocean during a negative Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation
What is the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation: Positive Phase Impacts
The World Climate Service has developed a powerful data mining system that enables users to quickly explore the impact of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation, and many other indices, by phase for each month of the year, showing impacts on all the major weather variables all around the globe. The maps featured in this article can be produced in just a few clicks of the mouse.
Europe and Asia in winter
During the strongly positive phase of the AMO in the Northern Hemisphere wintertime, much of Asia (especially Eastern Russia), the Middle East, and parts of Northern Europe are usually warmer than normal. Only the Western Mediterranean is likely to be cooler than normal (Figure 3).
At the same time, much of Asia and Northern Europe are likely to be wetter than normal. Much of Southern Europe, and especially Iberia, are likely to be drier than normal (Figure 4).

Fig. 4: World Climate Service rainfall anomaly probability map for a strongly positive Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation in winter
Europe and Asia in summer
During the strongly positive phase of the AMO in the Northern Hemisphere summer, much of Asia (especially Eastern Russia), the Middle East, and Southern Europe are usually warmer than normal. Only Scandinavia and Siberia are likely to be cooler than normal (Figure 5).
At the same time, much of China, Siberia and Northern Europe are likely to be wetter than normal. Southwestern Europe and the Middle East are likely to be drier than normal (Figure 6).
Fig. 5: World Climate Service temperature anomaly probability map for a strongly positive Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation in summer
Fig. 6: World Climate Service rainfall anomaly probability map for a strongly positive Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation in summer
What is the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation: Negative Phase Impacts
During the strongly negative phase of the AMO in the Northern Hemisphere wintertime, much of Asia, the Middle East, and Iberia are usually cooler than normal. Only Central Europe is likely to be warmer than normal (Figure 7). *It should be noted that the AMO has not been strongly negative since 1993. Global warming since 1993 has made a significant contribution to the cool anomalies seen in Figure 7.
At the same time, much of Asia and Eastern Europe are likely to be drier than normal. Parts of Central Europe, Iberia, the Middle East and parts of Eastern China are likely to be drier than normal (Figure 8).

Fig. 8: World Climate Service rainfall anomaly probability map for a strongly negative Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation in winter
During the strongly negative phase of the AMO in the Northern Hemisphere summer, much of Asia and Europe is likely to be cooler than normal (Figure 9).
At the same time, much of Asia and Central and Northern Europe are likely to be drier than normal. Only Southern Europe and Central Russia are likely to be wetter than normal (Figure 10).

Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation and Long Range Forecasting
The Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation appears to have a cycle which spans 70 years (Figure 11), but there can be some short-term variation within a given decadal phase.
Fig. 11: The AMO Climate Index variations since 1870
In 1995 the AMO entered a long-term positive phase, which more or less coincided with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation entering a negative phase at the turn of the century. The question of whether the AMO is a result of natural variability or some other effect, such as volcanic activity, remains the subject of scientific research.
The UK Met Office has suggested the AMO is connected to the Thermohaline Circulation but other scientists, such as the team lead by Prof. Michael E. Mann at Penn State University, has linked the AMO to volcanic activity.
Whatever the explanation, the long-lasting phases of the AMO, and their impact on Northern Hemisphere climates, make the AMO a useful climate index for seasonal prediction.
Concluding remarks on the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation
The Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation is a cyclical variation of sea surface temperature anomalies over the North Atlantic Ocean that influences weather patterns across large parts of the globe.
The Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation phases usually persist for decades which makes the AMO a prime consideration in seasonal forecasting.
