Intuition in Contemporary Philosophy
James Baird
In this short essay, I want to draw out the nature and downfalls of a salient principle of analytic philosophy: the primacy of rational intuition.
Philosophers think of rational intuition as the capacity in human persons to believe (and know) certain propositions immediately, that is, without basing their belief on other evidential beliefs or logical inferences. Propositions like what is known must be believed, it is necessary that 2+2=4, and murder is wrong are intuitive because we find ourselves convinced of their truth simply by reflecting on them; we believe them because they seem to us to be true.
In his important book, Naming and Necessity, Saul Kripke argued that for something to be intuitive is "very heavy evidence." He went on to say, "I really don't know, in a way, what more conclusive evidence one can have about anything, ultimately speaking." For Kripke, then, there is a definitive priority given to our intuitive seemings.
Analytic philosophy has shared Kripke's belief in the primacy of rational intuition for much of the twentieth century, and it has definitively characterized how analytic philosophers have argued for their theories of knowledge, reality, and morals. For example, in analytic epistemology philosophers design test cases to invoke intuitions in their peers that either support or undermine various analyses of knowledge. The most famous use of test cases was by Edmund Gettier in his three page article, "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?"
Arguably, the most widely accepted understanding of knowledge in the modern period was the justified-true-belief model. Knowledge was thought to be justified belief in a true proposition. Gettier, however, presented two test cases where a person has justified true belief, but does not seem to have knowledge. Gettier's small paper was thought to be so powerful because of the way it showed that our intuitions contradict a prominent theory of knowledge.
The problem for philosophers since has been to develop an analysis of knowledge that does not fall prey to critiques similar to Gettier's. So far, a multitude of philosophers have presented accounts of knowledge only to be met by a plethora of published test cases that undermine their analyses. As a result, many philosophers are now skeptical about whether it is possible to analyze knowledge.
The apparent inability of philosophers to account for the nature of knowledge has also led to skepticism about whether our intuitions are reliable indicators of the truth. This skepticism with regard to our intuitions has been additionally supported by surveys that suggest our intuitions are in some sense culturally affected.
Last month I was able to attend the American Philosophical Association's central meeting in Saint Louis, Missouri. Although it was a common theme running through many of the lectures, the question of the reliability of our intuitions was at the forefront of the secession on philosophical methodology. Studies were presented of how people from different cultures and of different genders answered philosophical questions. These studies were intended to help determine whether intuitions are universally shared or relative to particular groups of people.
Maybe the only time everyone in the room came into agreement was when a participant paraphrased the following quote from philosopher, Peter van Inwagen: "There is no established body of metaphysical results. . . . In metaphysics . . . you are perfectly free to disagree with anything the acknowledged experts say." It was clear from the discussion that those in the room thought that van Inwagen's statement held true not only for metaphysics, but for philosophy as a whole.
If we are perfectly free to disagree with anything the acknowledged philosophical experts say, then perhaps it would be best to disagree with the priority they have placed on rational intuition. Any ultimate source of evidence that allows for such widespread confusion and disagreement is clearly not doing its job.
What if philosophers used Scripture as their ultimate source of evidence, and rational intuition as a subordinate source? Philosophers could then rely on the perfect Word of God to build an epistemological, metaphysical, and moral framework—like the theological framework set forth in the Westminster Confession of Faith—from which they could then address the ancient problems of philosophy. I think this is the most productive way forward for contemporary philosophy, primarily because it is the only way we can avoid being taken "captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ" (Col. 2:8).
I am not suggesting that Scripture is the only source of evidence that God has given to man. Rational intuition is clearly essential to everyday life and to philosophy as a discipline. What I am suggesting is that Scripture provides us with the most conclusive evidence possible, ultimately speaking, because "it is the Word of God" (WCF 1.4).
Sources — The quote in paragraph three is from Saul Kripke, Naming and Necessity (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 1972; reprint, 2013), 42. The quote in paragraph nine is from Peter van Inwagen, Metaphysics [Boulder: Westview Press, 1993], 13–14. Edmund Gettier's article was originally published in Analysis 23 (1963): 121–123. I also consulted Alvin I. Goldman, "Philosophical Intuitions: Their Target, Their Source, and Their Epistemic Status," Grazer Philosophische Studien 74 (2007): 1–26; Robert Audi, Epistemology (New York: Routledge, 2011); and William G. Lycan, "Epistemology and the Role of Intuitions," in The Routledge Companion to Epistemology (ed. Sven Bernecker and Duncan Pritchard; New York: Routledge, 2014), 813–822.

The project is a complete transformation of the former Jobbers Candy Co factory Owen Equipment Co. building and Simply Ground Flour Mill into The Sessions Hotel.
The restaurant Southern Craft will be having a 'soft opening' this week, with the launch marking the second location in Downtown Johnson City for the brand.
Named after the 1927 Country Music Sessions, the hotel will feature music and original art telling the story of country music.
There will also be an outdoor music venue that will host well-known artists as well as local and up and coming talent.
The Sessions Hotel is then expected to open on April 2 and will be operated by Cornerstone Hospitality.

Challenges for nurses who work in community mental health centres in the West Bank, Palestine
Marie, Mohammad, Hannigan, Ben and Jones, Aled 2017. Challenges for nurses who work in community mental health centres in the West Bank, Palestine. International Journal of Mental Health Systems 11 (3) 10.1186/s13033-016-0112-4
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s13033-016-0112-4
Background: Nurses in Palestine (occupied Palestinian territory) work in a significantly challenging environment. The mental health care system is underdeveloped and under-resourced. For example, the total number of nurses who work in community mental health centres in the West Bank is seventeen, clearly insufficient in a total population of approximately three million. This research explored daily challenges that Palestinian community mental health nurses (CMHNs) face within and outside their demanding workplaces. Methods: An interpretive qualitative design was chosen. Face-to-face interviews were completed with fifteen participants. Thirty-two hours of observations of the day-to-day working environment and workplace routines were conducted in two communities' mental health centres. Written documents relating to practical job-related policies were also collected from various workplaces. Thematic analysis was used across all data sources resulting in four main themes, which describe the challenges faced by CMHNs. Results and conclusion: These themes consist of the context of unrest, stigma, lack of resources, and organisational or mental health system challenges. The study concludes with a better understanding of challenges in nursing which draws on wider cultural contexts and resilience. The outcomes from this study can be used to decrease the challenges for health professionals and enhance the mental health care system in Palestine.

Lost Boys Academy 1-Orientations (Lost Boys Academy #1) by Aaron Ferrara!!!
College life was all about having some great experiences but that's so not the case for The Lost Boys Academy. Hot and troubled Jake never turns down a challenge but this one where he has to seduce the one person that could get him removed from the academy. The beautiful and in love couple, Kyle and Alex have been together for awhile but will their love for each other survive the teachings of rehabilitation from their sexual orientation? James has to work on confronting his demons! Mason the devout catholic starts to question his religion as he is surrounded by such beautiful and hot temptations at the Lost Boys Academy!!!
This is the first novella in the series and I can tell its going to be an amazing series so expect more reviews from me in this series. I was really looking forward to reading this novella as its quite different from the usual MM books as this deals with rehabilitating male gay students from their sexuality. This first installment is an introduction to the wildly interesting characters and their back-story and why they are at the academy.
I liked how the author brought these characters to life and how he took us deep into their stories and the way that they connect with each other and such diverse guys they are. Its so interesting how the school affects each character so differently. Will the academy succeed in turning these boys straight or will they fight to remain exactly who they were born to be no matter of the consequences?
I give this author, Aaron Ferrara so much credit for coming up with this very hot topic of sexual conversion and creating such a unique and wildly fascinating novella and series. I highly recommend this novel so much as it will make you think while giving you a brilliant and beautifully written story.....Lost Boys Academy!!!
"Hey, you here for the academy?" The boy took out his headphones and let them hang down to the floor. Judging from his soaking, grey athletic T-shirt and black gym shorts, he had to have been returning from a run."Yeah," Jimmy answered coyly. He was never good around guys he thought were cute. He glanced down at his own clothes—plain black T-shirt and dark grey pants with red, Converse high-tops. He slightly envied the anonymous boy for being able to pull off the sweaty look better than his own normal style.
"I'm Jake."
"Jimmy."
"Jimmy, the ginger," Jake smiled. "Is that your natural color?"
Jimmy's face turned red, matching his hair which made him drop his gaze down toward his feet in shame, "Yeah."
"Cute." Jake walked past him as he headed up the stairs.
Jimmy got a closer look at Jake before he passed by. He couldn't deny that there was something familiar about him. Had they met before?
"Do you live in L.A.? I feel like I've seen you somewhere…"
"Probably," Jake shrugged. He stopped at the top step, twisting his head over his shoulder to look at Jimmy. "It's not so bad here, ya know."
Jimmy raised an eyebrow, wrinkling his forehead, "Except for the fact that they want to completely change who we are and what we do."
The devilish smirk reappeared across Jake's face, "Who said we have to change what we do?"
Jake now stood and faced the large door at the top of the steps. He stretched his arms over his head, flexing his lean, toned arms. He then grabbed the bottom of his shirt, pulling it off and over his head, revealing a chiseled, muscular back. He adjusted the waistband of his underwear, unveiling the dimples in his lower back, completely visible as they peeked out right above his shorts. With his sweaty shirt, he dabbed his neck and then reached for the door in which to enter the school.
"Just as long as you don't get caught," Jake admitted as he walked into the premises, swaying his hips in an overconfident manner.
Good point…Jimmy muttered under his breath. He paused for a moment as the image of Jake's perfectly-sculpted body burned into his long-term memory.
"Welcome to the academy, roomie!" Jake shouted behind him.
Jimmy snapped out of the momentary trance. Roomie? He pondered this briefly before his lips gradually formed a smile. Maybe this summer wasn't going to be so bad after all…

There was a time when the ceiling fan was only of one type. The standard ceiling fan that we still use today. But the technology in this field is also advancing at a very rapid pace, same as every other field. When the ceiling fans were first introduced they came with only two blades. The modern day fans have blades ranging from 3 till 8. The way houses were built in the past has also changed dramatically.
The houses used to be quite big with big rooms and tall ceilings. In today's world there a lot of houses that are very small with small rooms and very low ceilings. The low ceilings gave rise to another problem and that is the installation of the appropriate fan. The standard fan cannot be installed in the room with low ceilings because of the clearance issue. The fan companies now have to come up with the solution to this problem. The solution they came up with is the hugger ceiling fan.
The standard ceiling fan has a downward facing rod with one attached with the mounting plate and the other with the fan motor. The downward rod makes the fan quite far from the ceilings and this can cause clearance issue in a room that has a ceiling less than 8 feet high. The hugger ceiling fans is the best fit to the rooms that have a low ceiling. Since the hugger ceiling fans do not have a downward rod, therefore they fit perfectly in a low ceiling room.
The hugger ceiling fans are so close to the ceiling that they almost hug it. This is the reason why these fans are called the hugger ceiling fans. There are a lot of different types of hugger fans available in the market. There is a lot to choose from when it comes to these hugger ceiling fans. These fans are usually used where the height of the ceiling is less than 8 feet. But this is not the only use of the huggers. Since these fans are very compact, therefore they look very attractive to the eye. If someone is looking to give their room an improved look they can also go for the huggers.
One of the most famous huggers is the Minka Aire. These fans compliment a great deal in contemporary décor. These fans hang 10 inches below the ceiling even if you have a lighting fixture installed. The blades of this fan are concave with white finish. Another attractive factor of this model is that it has a hand held remote. This fan comes in with a warranty of a lifetime. Therefore all in all, this fan is the one you can choose if you have a room with a contemporary décor.
Another well renowned model of the hugger ceiling fan is the Monte Carlo. These fans are quite as similar as the Minka Aire and designer fans as well. The Monte Carlo hangs 9 inches below the ceiling, and this might be the only difference between the Monte Carlo and the Minka Aire. The warranty of these fans is also a lifetime same as that of the Minka Aire.
It is another company that produces some quality hugger or low profile fans. Craftmade has a complete range to choose from when it comes to these low profile ceiling fans. This company produces huggers with a lot of different styles and there are also many blade options to match your requirement.
The guarantee of these fans is not that of a lifetime but 30 years unlike the Minka Aire. These fans come in the lighting kits and different glass to choose from. It can be rightly said about these fans that they can be a perfect fit for your home when it comes to hugger fans. Since these fans have a wide variety to choose from, so you can get a fan that perfectly matches your needs and requirements.
Another option that you have while choosing a low profile ceiling fan for your room is the Casablanca. This fan is famous for its classic style. The blades of the Casablanca have an antique look with oak matt finish on them. These fans have a brass finish as well. When it comes to the control options it has the same classic pull chain control. So if you have a room with a low ceiling and you want to give it a classic look, the Casablanca is the perfect option for you. You can improve the look of your room by having this classic fan installed in it.
All these low profile ceiling fans contribute in enhancing the outlook of a room that has low ceilings. You have a wide range to choose from when it comes to these low profile ceiling fans. Therefore you can choose the one that you think will be the perfect for your room and will give it an improved look. Even if you have a room with a tall ceiling and you want to give it an improved look the low profile ceiling fans can help you a great deal in doing so.
All your worries are over if you have a low ceiling room and you want to have a ceiling fan installed in it. Hugger ceiling fans is the right answer for you. Since this fan has no rod therefore it eliminates all the clearing issues that you can have with the standard ceiling fan. Now you can have a low ceiling room with a ceiling fan installed in it as well, thanks to the huggers for eliminating this issue.
The huggers not only eliminate the issue of the clearance but also contribute heavily in giving your room a new and improved look. Since the market is flooded with these huggers, there is a lot that you can choose from according to your liking and requirements. So now you can have a ceiling fan in your low ceiling rooms that can also compliment the décor of it.

Probate and Fiduciary Litigation Newsletter December 16, 2016
December 2016 – Advisories
The last several weeks have brought us two decisions in which issues of family law intersected with T&E issues.
First, the decision in Heystek v. Duncan, Case No. 15-P-1201, 2016 Mass. App. Unpub. LEXIS 1113 (Nov. 21, 2016) is notable as the first reported decision in Massachusetts to cite Pfannenstiehl in a substantive way. In Heystek, the Appeals Court found that the probate court judge did not abuse his discretion in disproportionally allocating distributions from a trust between a divorcing husband and wife, because (a) the trust was created before their marriage, (b) the trust played no role in their financial plans during their marriage, (c) they did not rely on income or capital from the trust until the final year of their marriage, and (d) the distribution in question was made for unexpected reasons after they had filed for divorce. The Appeals Court remanded the property division, however, because it did not take the husband's opportunity to receive future gifts or inheritances into adequate consideration. "We conclude that by failing to consider the husband's opportunity for acquisition of capital or income in the form of gifts or inheritances from his mother, Pfannenstiehl v. Pfannenstiehl, supra, … the judge's division of the marital estate did not achieve an equitable distribution."
Second, in Stacy v. Stacy, Case No. 16-P-0095, 2016 Mass. App. Unpub. LEXIS 1189 (Dec. 9, 2016), the Appeals Court reversed and remanded a decision of the probate court granting a motion to dismiss the claims of a personal representative against the decedent's wife to recover estate assets, including claims against the wife for constructive trust, conversion, and unjust enrichment. The probate court had dismissed the claims based on a finding that the wife's prenuptial agreement with the decedent was intended to govern the disposition of assets in the event of divorce, but not in the event of death. Therefore, according to the probate court's rationale, the wife was not prohibited from removing personal belongings from her marital home with the decedent after the decedent's death. The Appeals Court disagreed, holding that the language of the prenuptial agreement suggests that it may apply to events other than divorce, such as death. Moreover, the Appeals Court reasoned that the personal representative has authority under Section 3-709 of the MUPC, separate and distinct from the effect of the prenuptial agreement, to seek property that is improperly removed from the estate, and that the facts alleged in the Complaint were sufficient to state the personal representative's claims against the wife to recover estate assets. Therefore, the probate court's dismissal of those claims was in error.

Sawlog-size even-aged hardwood stands in north-central West Virginia were fertilized with N, P, and K, singly and in combinations. Applications of N alone increased the annual basal area growth of yellow-poplar more than that of red oak during the first 7 years after fertilization, whereas P alone increased the annual basal area growth of red oak more than that of yellow-poplar. NP did not stimulate the growth of yellow-poplar more than did N alone and did not increase the growth of red oak more than did P alone. The 7-year cumulative basal area growth of yellow poplar was increased 34 percent by N, while that of red oak was increased 20 percent by P. NPK usually increased the growth of both species over that of the control trees, but usually not more than that of N or P, singly or combined. N fertilization could increase the 7-year volume growth of pure stands of sawlog-size yellow-poplar by about 30 percent in this region.

Mai dire sì (Remington Steele) è una serie televisiva statunitense di genere giallo prodotta dal 1982 al 1987.

Trama

La serie racconta le vicende di una investigatrice privata, Laura Holt (interpretata da Stephanie Zimbalist), che decide di aprire una agenzia investigativa tutta sua; agenzia che però non viene presa sul serio, in quanto "è diretta da una donna". Così, allo scopo di acquisire maggiore credibilità, Laura inventa "un abile principale maschio" dal nome, appunto, di Remington Steele.

Tutto sembra andare a meraviglia per Laura e i suoi collaboratori (Murphy Michaels e Berenice Fox), finché un giorno, un misterioso personaggio (interpretato da Pierce Brosnan) non tenterà di rubare delle pietre preziose che Laura era incaricata di proteggere.
L'uomo, capito il gioco dell'investigatrice, rinuncia al furto e, affascinato dalla donna, decide a sua insaputa di interpretare il ruolo del capo.

Il personaggio centrale della serie, Remington Steele, in primis ricopre un ruolo di facciata all'interno dell'agenzia, declinando a Laura e ai suoi collaboratori gli incarichi lavorativi, ma progressivamente "prende le sembianze" di questo uomo di fantasia e acquisisce sempre più dimestichezza e interesse verso l'attività lavorativa.
Il suo vero nome non si saprà mai, in quanto lo stesso personaggio non lo sa davvero e non farà in tempo a chiederlo nemmeno al padre ritrovato in punto di morte alla fine della serie (personaggio di Daniel Chalmers interpretato dal Efrem Zimbalist Jr., padre reale di Stephanie Zimbalist), sebbene questi, un abile truffatore che gli era ugualmente rimasto vicino, facendogli da mentore, lo chiamasse Harry. Steele era un fan accanito di Humphrey Bogart: girava con 5 passaporti di 5 nazionalità differenti con 5 nominativi diversi, tutti che si rifacevano a personaggi interpretati da Bogart.

I 5 passaporti erano: Michael O'Leary, Irlanda, tratto da Tramonto (Dark Victory) del 1939; Richard Blaine, Australia, tratto da Casablanca del 1942; Douglas Quintaine, Inghilterra, tratto da Ed ora... sposiamoci! (Stand-In); Paul Fabrini, Italia, tratto da Strada maestra (They Drive by Night) del 1940; Jacques Murell, Francia, tratto da Carovana d'eroi (Virginia City) del 1940.

Personaggi
 Remington Steele: È il protagonista dello show. Ha una innata propensione a truffa e inganno che però mette al servizio dell'agenzia (la maggior parte delle volte). È inoltre un ladro esperto. Ha una conoscenza molto vasta della filmografia americana. In quasi ogni episodio cita un film (titolo, attori, produttore, anno di produzione e trama) che, in un modo o nell'altro, hanno a che fare con la situazione contingente.
 Laura Holt: È la coprotagonista dello show. È dotata di intuito e professionalità che sfrutta per risolvere i casi che si presentano.
 Mildred Krebs: Ispettore del fisco diventa segretaria dell'agenzia nella seconda stagione. Diventa immediatamente simpatica e necessaria grazie alle sue conoscenze sulla contabilità e la capacità di usare il computer. Non di rado la sua partecipazione è decisiva per risolvere i casi.
 Murphy Michaels: un buon investigatore che lavora per anni con Laura Holt. All'inizio della seconda stagione apre un'agenzia per conto suo.
 Bernice Fox: segretaria della prima stagione. Un po' svampita ma simpatica. All'inizio della seconda stagione scappa con un musicista.
 Tony Roselli: personaggio avventuroso e in grado di rivaleggiare con Remington Steele per abilità e destrezza. Presente solo nell'ultima stagione.
 Daniel Chalmers: mentore di Remigton Steele che conosce fin da ragazzo. Compare più volte nella serie chiedendo aiuto al suo ex-allievo per organizzare un qualche tipo di inganno.
 Norman Keyes: l'unico antagonista ricorrente. È un detective molto dotato che lavora per le assicurazioni. Capisce quasi subito che Remington Steele nasconde qualcosa.

Of course I knew that poetry can short circuit.
That's the point of it really – to go straight from the centre of one's being – the deep heart's core – to another, perhaps not needing even to think.Like music, poetry can fly: cut directly through clutter – all those habits, pretence and assorted nonsense and trivia of everyday so-called grown-up life, to ancient memories, deep-seated experiences and relationships, and love itself.
I've been reminded of this vital ability of poetry by the recent happy experience of working with an amazing National Memory Day Project.Literature Works at Plymouth University, in partnership with the Poetry Archive, supported by the Alzheimer's Society put out a call to train and commission poets to use poetry to help people living with memory loss.
The idea was that by reviving memories through the shared recollection of much-loved poems, confusion might be alleviated, conversation encouraged, speech difficulties eased and creativity stimulated.
Some miles before reaching home, we see that familiar black topped hill, away to the west. Nearly there, we think – or at least, this is our country now.
The landmark, Bampfylde Clump, is actually just a clump of trees – densely planted beeches, mature, but not especially ancient.It's said that a certain Bampfylde, one Baron Poltimore, established the tautological Round Ring (another of its titles), so that he could look around in all directions over the land he owned.
More interesting, is the deep-rooted awareness of this natural high-point, and the celebration of it over the centuries, in various ways – secular and sacred.Certainly, many coming into north Devon – be they resident or visitor – must have raised their eyes to the hills: Round Ring – there it is, Round Ring, as it's always been, awaiting our arrival.
Looking at the banks and hedgerows at this time of year, I wonder how anything small – or even large – that lives there manages to survive. Everything's withered up or simply gone. Of course, there's no expectation of leaves or flowers, but where are the fruits and berries, the smaller creatures lower down the food chain essential to survival… just what is there to live off? It's a bare and empty larder, hardly even offering any shelter.
And yet, deep under layers of moss, beneath bark, beyond and out of sight, sleep seeds and eggs, cocoons, life in shells, little wrapped-up tangled bundles of creatures, even slumbering, hibernating animals tucked up to weather the winter.
It's always been like this. Many must perish, but a few – a select few – live on, to carry the colony, the tribe, the clan – perhaps even the species – into better times. Yet despite its regularity, predictability, even necessity, such a slaughter is hard to comprehend.
There's a lot of them about at this time.Along with the cribs and holy families, stars and shepherds, Magi and assorted animals – not to mention the robins, lit up churches shining across the snow, reindeer, stage coaches, drunken mice and yule-tide logs – here they are, singing, blowing the occasional quaint instrument or just standing around looking decorative.Not often flying in fact – perhaps even the most credulous find it hard to imagine those wings extended and in action, least of all in a windy night sky.But they're certainly around.
It's easy to ask this question as we look back and see what terrible things happened in the past. Not just happened – but were thought of as normal, unexceptional: what people like you and me were quite happy to countenance, if not actually do. Well, perhaps some people sometimes felt that was a bit harsh… who knows? But for the most part, decent folk like you and me just accepted it – that's how it is, life goes on, why change how we do things and I've got quite enough to do already.
Slavery's an obvious example of course.
It's quite a famous photograph, I gather. But I hadn't seen it before.
Perhaps you know it? I can't show it here as it's copyright, but I'll try to describe it.
So there they are, those nine sea-booted, variously-hatted traditional fishermen, naturally disposed on the quay.
By which I mean, well, they're just there - as if they'd arrived a moment ago.
There's a central group, close together, another smaller group to the right, two of them looking across the picture, and on the left, a chap leaning against the railing and peering over the edge. For a backdrop there's a fishing boat, all sails set, and on the far right, a statuesque figure with a basket hoisted over his shoulder.
It looks for all the world as though they'd just returned. Or, on second thoughts, perhaps they're waiting to go out?
Once the question's been raised, you find yourself looking more carefully.
We live near the sea, so find ourselves there quite a bit, not just at this time of year. Especially now though, with grandchildren expecting a day on the beach.
Buckets and spades, bats and balls, bags of food and drink, towels and clothes and all that paraphernalia we lug down… playing on the sand is both a simple and a complicated business.
I don't know if it's something to do with getting older, but increasingly now when I'm at the seaside I find myself reminded of death and destruction.
The very sand is substantially made up of countless shells, exoskeletons of once living creatures, each one painstakingly self-constructed.From them all, the life has gone.And now the gracefully fashioned ceramic, the solid part that managed to survive (if that be the word), long after the contents vanished, is itself ground up, or down, into dust – or, in this context, sand.

April 26-30: Pompey Beat Huddersfield And Captain Reg Gets The Trophy From Monty At Fratton Park
Back to April 1949
Monday 25: Pompey's anticipated quiet return to Fratton Park in the early hours of Sunday morning ended with police being deployed to maintain order in Frogmore Road where hundreds of supporters had gathered to congratulate the new Football League Champions.
Tuesday 26: Pompey will be parading the Football League Championship trophy through the streets of the city on Saturday evening. Plans for the procession, and for a civic reception, are currently being drawn up by club and council officials.
Wednesday 27: Match Summary: Bournemouth and Boscombe Reserves 1, Portsmouth Reserves 2
Thursday 28: Liverpool, Middlesbrough and Huddersfield Town were among the first of Pompey's fellow First Division clubs to send telegrams of congratulation to Fratton Park this week. Sheffield Wed of Division Two were also quick to offer their best wishes.
A new flag will be flying at Fratton Park on Saturday. Work is already in hand on the flag which will reflect Pompey's status as League Champions. It will be flown at the western end of the main stand.
Jimmy Dickinson may have to sit out Pompey's match against Huddersfield Town on Saturday. He split his head open at Birmingham on Easter Monday, and re-opened the wound at Bolton, where he ignored medical advice to come off.
Outside-right Peter Harris will be missing when Pompey play their re-arranged league game against Arsenal at Highbury next Wednesday. He has been selected to play for an FA XI against an FA of Ireland side in Dublin.
The Football League have agreed to break with tradition by presenting the Championship trophy to Pompey at Fratton Park on Saturday. Normally the ceremony is performed at the Annual General Meeting of the League.
Pompey's "victory parade" through the city will commence from Frogmore Road at 7pm on Saturday. The League Champions will pass along Goldsmith Avenue, Fratton Road, Kingston Road, Kingston Crescent and Commercial Road to the Guildhall steps
Pompey's victory parade on Saturday will be led through the streets by the Portsmouth City Fire Brigade Band. Meanwhile, the Band of HM Royal Marines will entertain the crowds waiting in Guildhall Square.
After a short ceremony and presentation to the crowds at the Guildhall the procession will continue down The Terraces, Western Parade and Clarence Parade to the Beach Hotel for a private function to mark the winning of the Championship
Jimmy Elder scored twice to give Pompey Reserves a 2-0 win against Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic Reserves at Dean Court this evening.
Football Association and Football League regulations restrict the total amount Pompey can distribute among among their players as "talent money" for winning the League to £500.
Saturday 30: The Fratton Park crowd will welcome home the new League Champions this afternoon when Pompey face Huddersfield Town in their last home match of this magnificent season. After the match Pompey will be presented with the Championship Trophy.
Pompey make one change from the side that made history at Bolton last week. Jimmy Dickinson, who suffered that nasty head injury, will not be risked. Bill Thompson takes his place at left-half.
The full Pompey side to face Huddersfield this afternoon is: Butler, Hindmarsh, Ferrier, Scoular, Flewin, Thompson, Harris, Reid, Clarke, Phillips, Froggatt.
It's a busy day for the Portsmouth Fire Brigade Band. After entertaining the crowd before Pompey's meeting with Huddersfield, and again at half time, they will be leading tonight's procession of the League Champions through the streets of the city.
Pompey's tour of the city will start at 7pm from Fratton Park. The route will include Goldsmith Avenue, Fratton Road, Kingston Road, Kingston Cescent, Commercial Road to the Guildhall Square, where the Band of HM Royal Marines will be playing
The Pompey parade will continue down Commercial Road (South), The Terraces, Western Parade, Clarence Parade to the Beach Hotel.
Pompey officials and supporters gathered at Fratton Park this morning for the unveiling of the club's new Championship pennant, which is to be flown from a recently-installed flag pole at the western end of the south stand.
Pompey scored a goal in each half to beat Huddersfield Town 2-0 at Fratton Park this afternoon. Duggie Reid (pen) and Ike Clarke were on target for the League Champions, who completed their home fixtures without a single defeat in league or cup.
The crowd packed into the ground early, and were in party mood in the build up to kick-off. Groups of supporters detached themselves from the terraces to parade around the perimeter of the pitch carrying all kinds of flags, banners and balloons
Fratton Park shook to its foundations when the Fire Brigade Band struck up the Pompey Chimes and the entire crowd seemed to join in.
There was a huge cheer when Pompey's president, Field-Marshal Montgomery took his place in the directors' box alongside chairman Mr Vernon Stokes.
The atmosphere reached fever pitch when Pompey's inspirational captain, Reg Flewin, led his team out of the tunnel.
The visitors had their full share of possession during the first half, with Pompey showing only flashes of the football that had swept them to the pinnacle of English football.
It was a different story after the break, with Phillips, Harris and Froggatt all going close for Pompey. With seven minutes left Reid set up Ike Clarke, who thumped the ball into the roof of the net to put the Blues two-up.
When the final whistle sounded thousands of supporters spilled onto the pitch and massed in front of the directors' box to await the presentation of the Championship Trophy.
"Monty" and others await the appearance of the Pompey players in the directors' box at Fratton Park. The Championship Trophy sits on top of the balcony wall.
IT'S OURS! Reg Flewin, Pompey's captain, born and bred in the city, receives the Championship Trophy from Field-Marshal Bernard Montgomery at Fratton Park this afternoon. Match Summary: Portsmouth 2, Huddersfield Town 0
A young Pompey reserves' side were missing all the excitement, losing at Southend. Match Summary: Southend United Reserves 2, Portsmouth Reserves 0

Todd Howard wants more depth and better AI in future Bethesda games
"I think we have a long way to go with that."
(Image credit: Bethesda)
Skyrim turns 10 this week, and despite being a bit long in the tooth it's still arguably the best Bethesda Game Studios RPG of the century. The wait for its follow-up—known only as The Elder Scrolls 6 at this stage—is still a way off: as of June it was still in its "design" phase and besides, Starfield is set to release in November next year.
A new IGN interview with director Todd Howard provides some small hints regarding the studio's priorities for advancing their RPG design, and it's not just prettier graphics and more mountains you can actually visit: Howard wants to make them more complex.
"There are a number of parts of it where we don't go deep enough, where it's a veneer in terms of its interactivity," Howard said when quizzed on what the studio could have done better when developing Skyrim. "Look, you can say that about anything, but I think when we think about games and what we want to do going forward, ok, whatever that system is, how deep can we make it? The other part is the way the AI and NPCs really react to you—I think we have a long way to go with [that]. Those are probably the main ones."
Given Starfield's long gestation period—the studio started it in 2015—it's likely a lot of those ambitions will show themselves in the space RPG. Howard says that after Fallout 4 shipped, the studio opted to work on Starfield instead of the Elder Scrolls game because "if we didn't do it then, the 'when' could be 'never'."
Ten years and counting is a heck of a long time for a major multiple-million selling game series to lay dormant though, and when quizzed on this unusual situation Howard admits it's not ideal, though points to the ongoing success of the Elder Scrolls Online (it helps that Skyrim has launched countless times on pretty much every platform known to humankind).
Howard also sang the praises of Skyrim's modding community during the interview, expressing sentiments that suggest modding for Starfield and the next Elder Scrolls will be as welcome as ever. As for his favourite Skyrim mods? "There's one I like where someone added fast travel markers when you buy a house," he said. "It would have taken [us] an hour."
Skyrim's 10th anniversary will be celebrated by this week's release of Skyrim Anniversary Edition. Here's what it actually includes.
Asus ROG Azoth review


Gonk allows the Scum & Villany faction an upgrade to re-gain shields. Although it is slow to use essentially taking two turns, it can be mitigated by using Experimental Interface. This however draws away from the ships action economy and will probably leave you with no way to modify attack dice. Gonk will find his home on ships that have a higher shield capacity than normal such as the YV-666, Jumpmaster 5000 or a Lancer-class Pursuit Craft.

FG makes COVID-19 vaccination compulsory for civil servants
Okon Samson
Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
The federal government has directed all its employees to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus as this will soon become a prerequisite for gaining access into their various offices.
The Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, announced the new directive at its briefing on Wednesday.
Mr Mustapha said beginning December 1, 2021 all federal government employees will be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or present a negative PCR result to gain access to their offices.
"With effect from 1st December, 2021, Federal Government employees shall be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result done within 72 hours, to gain access to their offices, in all locations within Nigeria and our Missions," he said.
He noted that appropriate service wide circular will be issued to guide the process.
Mr Mustapha had on September 2, 2021, said the COVID-19 vaccination will be compulsory for federal civil servants once vaccines are available for everyone.
At the time, he said one of the reasons for compulsory vaccination of civil servants is because they will be travelling on behalf of the nation.

Q: How to prove that if a product is in a prime ideal, then one of the factors must be? Let $R$ be a commutative ring, and suppose $a_1, \dots , a_n \in R$.
Using induction, prove that if $I \subset R$ is a prime ideal and $a_1\cdot a_2 \cdots a_n \in  I$, then there exists some $1 \leq i \leq n$ such that $a_i \in  I$.
I started with the base case that when $n=1$. Then $1 \leq i \leq n=1$, then $i=1$ i.e $a_1\in I$ , how do we know that is true for $a_1$. And please what is the following step for $n=k+1$?

A: Hint: suppose $a_1a_2\cdots a_{k+1}\in I$. Write this as $(a_1a_2)a_3\cdots a_{k+1}\in I$. This is $k$ distinct elements, so what can you say now? Note you'll still have to "prove" the $n=2$ case separately, but this is really just the definition of a prime ideal.

A: Just to answer the first part of your question specifically. Remember for n=1 your hypothesis is exactly $a_1 \in I$. So actually there is nothing to prove.

Q: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label' I am passing my values from a gridview to a different page row-wise.The table for the gridview in the database is as follows:
 Create table Task
  (
    TaskId int Identity(1,1),
     Title varchar(100),
     Body varchar(500),
     Reward decimal(4,2),
    TimeAllotted int,
    PosterName varchar(100)
  )

the code -behind for the details page is as below:
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.Page.PreviousPage != null)
    {
        int rowIndex = int.Parse(Request.QueryString["RowIndex"]);
        GridView GridView1 = (GridView)this.Page.PreviousPage.FindControl("GridView1");
        GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[rowIndex];
        lblTaskId.Text = row.Cells[0].Text;
        lblTitle.Text = row.Cells[1].Text;
        lblBody.Text = row.Cells[2].Text;
        lblReward.Text = row.Cells[3].Text;
        lblTimeAllotted = row.Cells[4].Text;
        lblPosterName = row.Cells[5].Text;

    }
}

It displays everything as desired but when I click on 'view task' in a particular row of the gridview, I get an exception Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label'. The exception occurs on the last two lines i.e
    lblTimeAllotted = row.Cells[4].Text;
    lblPosterName = row.Cells[5].Text;

How can I correct this?

A: Try this:
lblTimeAllotted.text = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName.text = row.Cells[5].Text;

You cant set a label to a text. You need to set the text property of the label

A: You cannot set a string to a Label. You have to set the value to property Text of both labels:
lblTimeAllotted.Text = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName.Text = row.Cells[5].Text;

A: In your code, you have:
    lblTaskId.Text = row.Cells[0].Text;
    lblTitle.Text = row.Cells[1].Text;
    lblBody.Text = row.Cells[2].Text;
    lblReward.Text = row.Cells[3].Text;

Followed by:
lblTimeAllotted = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName = row.Cells[5].Text;

I presume that what you actually mean is:
lblTimeAllotted.Text = row.Cells[4].Text;
lblPosterName.Text = row.Cells[5].Text;

The reason you are seeing the exception is that .NET is trying to change your label objects to the string value of the cells, which is obviously nonsensical. Looks like a simple typo :)

Risks Around Charities for 2023
The world of charitable giving is constantly evolving, and with the new year comes a new set of risks and challenges for charities. As we look ahead to 2023, it's important to be aware of the potential risks that charities may face to ensure that they are prepared and can continue to do their important work. Here are some of the key risks that charities should be aware of in 2023.
Risk of Increased Scrutiny
Charities are already subject to a great deal of scrutiny from government regulators, donors, and other stakeholders. In 2023, this scrutiny is likely to increase as more people become aware of the importance of charitable giving and the need for transparency and accountability within the sector. Charities should be prepared for increased scrutiny by ensuring they have strong governance structures in place and that they are compliant with all relevant regulations. They should also be prepared to answer questions about their operations, finances, and impact to maintain public trust.
Charities must carefully manage how they collect, store, and process personal data on donors, beneficiaries, and staff to avoid hefty fines or reputational damage from non-compliance with existing laws. It's essential for any organisation dealing in sensitive information to take the necessary steps towards protecting those involved.
They must also be mindful of the risks associated with their IT infrastructure - from outdated systems or inadequate maintenance to system breakdowns, data loss and security threats. By proactively addressing such issues, organisations can safeguard against potential disruption caused by these vulnerabilities.
Organisations can benefit from cloud computing services when it comes to data storage and application management. However, this technology also brings with it a variety of risks which need careful consideration: third-party vendors may not have the same level of security control; human error due to staff or volunteer inexperience could lead to accidental breaches; and vendor lock-in may occur if charities rely too heavily on these services in daily operations. Ultimately, understanding potential threats is essential for protecting digital assets within an organisation.
Charities may increasingly rely on mobile devices for data access and storage, making them vulnerable to loss or theft if not properly secured. Clever cybercriminals are also a concern, as they can use social engineering techniques such as phishing scams in attempts to acquire sensitive information from charity staff or volunteers. Finally, charities must be aware of risks associated with their suppliers and partners- any security breaches experienced by these external organisations could compromise the integrity of the organisation's own network and data.
If they are already operating with limited resources and budgets, they may face the added challenge of being unprepared for major IT incidents or disasters. Without effective business continuity plans in place, charities can find it difficult to recover from such events - potentially putting their continued operation at risk.
Risk of Cybersecurity Breaches
As technology continues to evolve at an ever-increasing rate, so too does the risk posed by cyberattacks on charities' systems and data. In 2023, it's likely that cybercriminals will become even more sophisticated in their methods and target charities more frequently due to their often limited resources when it comes to cybersecurity measures. Charities should take steps now to ensure they have robust cybersecurity measures in place so that they can protect themselves against these threats in 2023 and beyond.
Charities need to be aware that they can face serious cybersecurity risks, such as phishing scams and ransomware attacks. These threats not only put sensitive information at risk but also could lead to costly operational disruption which can cause irreparable damage to the charity's reputation.
Charities have a duty to ensure their operations, reputation and ability to fulfil their mission remain safeguarded against the wide range of IT risks they face. Mitigating these risks can be achieved through best practices in cybersecurity, data privacy, infrastructure management and incident response plans. Having up-to-date business continuity measures is essential for minimising operational disruption during an emergency or disaster situation while ongoing staff training helps protect sensitive data which are key foundations of any organisation's security efforts.

Q: Mysql: Conditional select / concat depending on column matches I have a database with user details in one table and linked contact details in another table (where the contact details are stored as "content").
I am trying to make a quick search function where you can search for the name or any contact details.  So you can either search for name or an email or phone (whatever is in the contact detail field).
This is what I have so far:
SELECT DISTINCT leads.id, CONCAT(first_name,' ', last_name) AS name
FROM `leads`
INNER JOIN `contact_details` ON contact_details`.`lead_id` = `leads`.`id`
WHERE ((CONCAT(first_name, last_name, content) LIKE ('%[XXX]%')));

This works fine.  You can search for f ex "55" and it will return hits on f ex ph number 555-573-3222 or you can search for a name string like 'Joh' and it will match 'Johnson'.
My problem, though, is that regardless of what you are searching for, what is being returned is client name.  Since this is for an autocomplete feature, this is obviously very confusing.  If you start typing in 555-2 you want to see the suggestion 555-221-6362 not "John Johnson".

*

*How can I return EITHER a phone number or email (from column "content") OR the concact first_name, ' ', last_name depending on whether the search matched a name or a contact_detail.content.

*Since I am searching on first_name OR last_name, the search works well for "joh" matching "John" but obviously breaks when you search for "John Stan" for "John Stanley".  Is there a Mysql way of fixing this or do I need to clean up string before and do alternative searches if there is a space (searching first_name AND last_name separately)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I have struggled with this for days now.

A: Charliez, per our comment conversation, the following is an example of how to do some nested if/thens as well as the break out of the where. You'll need to adjust this to met your specific needs, but should give you enough of an example that you should be able to get things working.
SELECT
  IF(last_name LIKE '%JAM%',
    last_name,
    IF(first_name LIKE '%JAM%',
       first_name,
       ''
      )
    ) AS MatchedFieldText
FROM employee
WHERE
  last_name LIKE '%JAM%'
  OR first_name LIKE '%JAM%';

A: 1) I don't think there is a way to have a SELECT statement return something different based on an OR. My first thought to solve this would be to return first, last, content and use some regex to determine if you should show the name or the number/content.
2) Kind of a hard problem, and I don't think I have seen a perfect solution to it. This might give you some ideas/put you on the right track.


360-degree video has arrived on Facebook.
The social network is beginning to add the immersive videos to the News Feed, the company announced Wednesday. The videos will be viewable from the web and from Facebook's iOS and Android apps.
The videos, first announced at Facebook's F8 developer conference, are filmed with a special camera setup that captures a full 360-degree view of the scene. Much like the 360-degree videos on YouTube, you can change your view of the video by dragging you finger (or cursor, if you're on a browser) around the screen or holding your phone at a different angle.
The videos will be available on the web and Android app first and will roll out to the iOS app "in the coming months."
Facebook is partnering with a select group of publishers on the videos — including Disney and Lucasfilm, GoPro, Vice and Saturday Night Live — to start but says it will open up the videos to more people "who are at the cutting edge of exploring this medium" in the next few days.
The eventual plan, it seems, is to open up the video to all users, not just filmmakers and media companies.
"In the future, imagine watching 360 videos of a friend's vacation to a small village in France or a festival in Brazil — you'll be able to look around and experience it as if you were there," Maher Saba, Facebook's engineering director for video, writes in a statement. "Along with updates from your friends and family, you will also be able to discover amazing new content on Facebook from media companies, organizations, and individual creators."
But 360-degree vacation videos may be farther off for most Facebook users. Though consumer level cameras, like RIoch's new Theta S, are increasingly common as Google and others move to adopt the immersive videos, relatively few people have access to the equipment necessary to make these videos.
The videos also have big implications for the company's virtual reality ambitions. Facebook users will eventually be able to view the videos through the Oculus Rift and other virtual reality headsets; the videos were created as a collaboration with the Oculus team, The Verge reports.
The social network is also rumored to be working on a standalone video app for the 360-degree clips and executives have made it clear they see virtual and augmented reality as the next big medium for Facebook to tackle.
"When Facebook was founded, it was primarily a text based site: there was status posts and there were wall posts," Jay Parikh, the company's VP of global engineering and infrastructure, said at the company's @Scale engineering conference last week. "We've moved in to a world where most of the world today is focused on photos. But we're quickly moving into this world where I think, in the next couple years, most of the experience on Facebook is going to be about video. It doesn't just stop with videos ... what we see happening in the next couple years is bringing augmented reality and virtual reality to the experience that is on Facebook."

When betting on sports, it's no surprise that you should realize that numerous bettors lose their bets. Well, losing at sports betting is just normal. But didn?t you wonder why a lot of people lose at betting on sports even though sports betting provides them better chances of winning? Some claim that it is because of poor handicapping. how to calculate sports betting winnings. But while this is often true, for me personally it's not the exact reason that bettors lose as there are hundreds of folks who are expert handicappers who still lose their shirts year in and year out. The fact is, people lose at betting on sports due to poor money management skills.
People with poor management skills are usually uninformed. However, this is not often the case as others manage their funds poorly because they are undisciplined. No matter the case might be, people who lose at betting on sports are both uninformed and undisciplined.
So if you're seriously interested in success in betting on sports, I guess it is very crucial to make plan and remain disciplined. As what almost all of the management experts often say, it is best to put in place your own goals, your strategy for winning at betting on sports, not to mention some betting rules that you'll always remember during your sports betting.
When i state putting together of the goals, what I mean isIi mean , thinking first from what you want from a certain sportsbook. You should set up your goals as money limit that you want to earn. Always remember that when betting on sports, one should bet simply with money that she or he are able to give up. To put it simply, never bet with money that you simply can't afford to lose or you do not have for this could only create for you numerous problems in the end.
Perhaps one main support for this is the fact your possibilities for winning at sports betting are decreasing with every game added in accumulator. So at the start of the game or perhaps the betting season, try to set up your usual betting amount and just bet most of your singles. Then, when you find yourself winning at a particular betting season, don't increase stakes. This is especially true when you find yourself in losing streak either.
Finally, betting on sports needs a time for little rest. So when you are on a loosing streak when betting on sports and it seems that you cannot win, reckon that maybe it?s time to take some rest. Consider to not bet for a couple of weeks. As far as I know, this should help you obtain a better view of things. Also, believe that in sports betting not all seasons are in your favor. You should know that most punters increase their bets every time they loose few bets because they believe that they can?t miss on a regular basis. The fact is, this is not a truth for all times. The thing is, don?t be greedy.

Opinion: Six reasons why the World Championships doesn't really decide the best rider in the world
The World Championships should surely recognise the best rider in the world - has the one-day race format had its day?

By Nigel Wynn published 28 August 15
The annual World Championships road race should, by its very name, find the best rider of that particular year. The winner earns the right to wear the rainbow jersey of world champion for the following 12 months, singling them out in the peloton as something a bit special.
But is the World Championships a bit of nonsense? Does it really honour the best rider? Here are six reasons why I think it doesn't.
1. Not all of the best riders in the world are present
You can only really find the best rider in the world if all of the leading contenders for such a title are present. But they often aren't at the World Championships. Either by lack of selection, illness, fatigue or injury the one-day-only format of the current World Championships means that the peloton is often missing some of the biggest names.
In addition, the all-encompassing nature of the Worlds means that a section of the peloton is made up of riders with limited experience of the biggest races. It makes for a hotchpotch of a bunch, with riders often dropped on the first lap, never to be seen again.
2. Any given course only suits a narrow band of riders
With increasing specialisation of riders - sprinters, climbers, classics - riders will only target the Worlds if the course suits their particular ability. That's fair enough, but what that does is limit the outcome of the race severely.
That kind of bias means that the number of riders able to contest the race is whittled down before it has even started. A flat course will favour the sprinters - but does that really mean a bunch sprinter is the very best cyclist in the world?
Familiar sight of the Spanish, Belgian and Italian teams at the front of the Worlds road race
3. Limited teams for some nations
A selection process has to be put in place to ensure some kind of fair representation for each nation involved in the race. The UCI has devised a points system that allows it to decide which countries field the maximum number of riders (nine), and who fields eight, seven, six and so on.
This system ensures all nations have representation, but where you may have 20 or so Belgian riders in, say, a top one-day WorldTour race, you will only ever get nine at the Worlds. The flip side is that riders from under-represented nations in the pro peloton - e.g. Czech Republic, Slovakia, Eritrea - will only ever be able to field a limited team of support riders for their leader, no matter how good that leader is, putting them at an unfair disadvantage. Ask Peter Sagan.
4. Far from ideal date
Currently, the Worlds take place at the tail-end of the season when most riders have already peaked for other events such as the Tour de France. Many are suffering from fatigue after a busy year, and some - like Alberto Contador - have already drawn their season to a close.
A mid-summer, pre-Tour date would ensure the maximum number of riders in good shape for the race. It's in everyone's interest to see the best riders compete (see 1 above).
The World Championships' position in the calendar and location suits some, and not others
5. Location favours some, and not others
Travelling is a big part of modern cycling. The globalisation of the sport has meant that the peloton is now multicultural, with riders from every continent. Naturally, the World Championships is all about nations competing against each other but that also plays against those that have had to travel long and far to get to the Worlds. Those suffering from fatigue after a long journey are at an immediate disadvantage to those in a 'home' race.
6. It's a bit, well, boring
I truly feel sorry for any cycling commentator that gets saddled with having to talk through the Worlds road race. Six and a half hours of watching cyclists ride around laps of a slightly uninspiring city-based loop does not make for great conversational material - or television viewing.
The real action often only happens in the dying kilometres of the men's 250km event after a war of attrition takes place. Some people say this makes for a great race, last man standing wins and all that. But really you can tune into the last five minutes and probably catch all you need to see.
Compared to, say, an Alpine mountain stage of the Tour de France or Paris-Roubaix, it's sadly lacking. The shorter women's race often serves up much better action.
The Worlds take place in Qatar next year...
This is all very negative, what's the answer?
There are already season-long competitions in place for both the men's and women's professional cyclists: the WorldTour in the case of men, and World Cup for women. Both are series that include all types of terrain, and comprise single-day and stage races with points awarded for high placings.
The series format also allows riders to miss individual events due to injury/illness without necessarily overly affecting their overall performance. Awarding World Champion status to the winners of each series at the end of the year would be a fair solution.
Of course, that will never happen. The World Championships will remain a one-day race in the same format for the foreseeable future. Love it or hate it, it's here to stay.

It is well-known that the Indian shuttle queen PV Sindhu made a few sacrifices in order to be in the best frame of mind for the Rio Olympics in 2016. At the India Today Conclave in Mumbai on Friday, the Rio Olympic silver medallist revealed the three decisions that she made, which proved to be life-changing for her and brought her the highly-coveted medal.
Sindhu suffered a first round defeat at the Australian Open Superseries just two months before the Rio Games and was on a two-match losing streak heading into the mega multi-sporting event.
It was that particular defeat which helped Sindhu and her mentor, Pullela Gopichand have an open chat about what was required in order to be in the best shape possible for the Olympics. Gopichand told his ward to write her mistakes on a paper and he too wrote his own on another piece of paper.
"When we went back to India he said write your mistakes on a paper and even I'll write mine and come to the office and we'll show it to each other," she recounted.
"I wrote some points of where I made mistakes. And what he wrote actually made a difference," elaborated the 22-year-old.
The 2017 World Championships silver medallist said that it was then that Gopichand drilled into her head the three mantra for success that they would have to follow rigorously.
"I told him my mistakes and he was like okay. This is what you have to do from my side -- We have to practice really hard and be focussed all the time, no sugar in your diet and no mobile phone for the next 8 months," she said.
Gopichand, who too was at the conclave, explained that "special tournaments need special preparations" and disclosed that he had the same approach even when Saina Nehwal was gearing up for the 2012 London Olympics. The chief national coach believes that these little changes in daily routine are necessary to stay motivated as they remind one of the ultimate goal.
Sindhu will be seen in action next week as she sets her sights on winning the prestigious All England Championships for the first time. She is seeded fourth and takes on former junior World Championships runner-up Pornpawee Chochuwong in the first round.
Sindhu's dedication, determination and her ability to stay focussed on what Gopichand advised her played a big role in her confident show at Rio and afterwards. If she can continue with the same positive attitude and manages to stay grounded, she can scale even bigger heights.
