Waterberg Big Game Hunting Lodge Otjahewita (Pty) Ltd v Minister of Environment & Tourism (SA13/04) [2005] NASC 9 (23 November 2005);
EL Index Procedural Fairness Justice and fairness Civil Procedure Legal status of wild species Flora and fauna Environmental law Wildlife (fauna) Flora and fauna Environmental law Constitutional Interpretation Constitutional Law Judicial Review Appeals and reviews Civil Procedure
This was an appeal to the Supreme Court on a judgment of the High Court which had dismissed an application for the review and setting aside of a decision by the respondent to refuse the importation of Mountain Reedbuck from South Africa into Namibia.
The appellant cited the respondent, pursuant to his duties, powers and functions as set out in the Nature Conservation Ordinance No. 4 of 1975. The appellant placed particular emphasis on his duty to consider and decide on the importation of live game from South Africa in accordance with Section 49(1) of the ordinance as amended by Section 12 of Act 5 of 1996. The evidence revealed that the decision to refuse the import of Mountain Reedbuck was made by a subordinate official who was not authorised to do so and based on a new policy which had not been communicated to the appellant.
The court found out that this issue hinged on the confusion surrounding the parties involved, the reasons for the refusal and the failure of the respondent to abide by Rule 53 of the Rules of the High Court and Article 18 of the Namibian Constitution linked to administrative justice and the doctrine of "reasonable expectation". The court held that the subordinate official acting on behalf of the respondent did not have the authority to make the decision which was set aside. Accordingly, the appeal succeeded, and the court directed the respondent to issue the permits applied for and pay the appellant's costs.
Erindi Ranch (Pty) Ltd v Government of the Republic of Namibia and Others (A 72/2011) [2011] NAHC 330 (11 November 2011);
EL Index Judicial Review Appeals and reviews Civil Procedure Wildlife (fauna) Flora and fauna Environmental law Government Contracting Administrative Law
The matter dealt with a delay by the respondents to issue a permit for the import into Namibia of elephants published in Government Gazette No. 4236, Notice 60, dated 1 April 2009.
The court considered whether the delay was ultra vires the provisions of the Nature Conservation Ordinance No. 4 of 1975. The respondents conceded that the moratorium was ultra vires the ordinance and accordingly, the court agreed with their concession.
The court considered further, whether it should make an order directing the second respondent to issue the required permit to the applicant. The principle to be applied in the circumstances was that the court had discretion once it set aside an administrative decision to take the decision itself and this discretion was to be exercised judicially. The court observed that the second respondent had not yet decided whether to grant or deny the application and that the second respondent was better positioned to decide because it was privy to factual material which the court was not. Accordingly, the court held that it could not order the second respondent to issue the permit to the applicant.
The court considered whether the applicant and second respondent entered into a valid agreement. The test to be applied was to inspect the intention of the parties. The court concluded that whilst the applicant and second respondent had discussed and agreed upon some conditions, those were not intended to be the only conditions. Accordingly, the court held that no valid agreement was concluded.
South African Predator Breeders Association and Others v Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (1900/2007) [2009] ZAFSHC 68; (11 June 2009);
EL Index Wildlife (fauna) Flora and fauna Environmental law Judicial Review Appeals and reviews Civil Procedure
This application sought a review of regulations requiring a 24-month period for lions to be fending for themselves in an extensive wildlife system before the lion would be hunted (self-sustaining provisions).
The court accepted a request by both parties to determine the validity of the regulations as if they were applicable to lions regardless of the omission of lions in the 2008 amendment.
It was also found that the applicantÕs argument that the predator breederÕs industry should be represented on the scientific authority was not a ground for review.
The court considered whether the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act of 2000 (PAJA) was applicable to the making of regulations and held that regulations are administrative actions according to PAJA.
Secondly, the court considered whether sufficient opportunity was provided for the applicant to make representations to the panel. The court considered s3(5) and s4(1)(d) of PAJA that allows a procedure that is fair but different from PAJA provisions. The court accepted that in some instances procedural fairness requires provision of a further opportunity to make representations. The court found that the respondent acted fairly and had no way of knowing the applicantÕs attitude on the self-sustaining provision since they considered the applicantÕs letter of 2006 and the applicantÕs opposing letter of 2007 was received after announcement of the regulations.
Thirdly, the court considered whether there was a rational basis for the self-sustaining provisions. The court appreciated the fact that the hunting of lions bred in captivity has damaged the reputation of the country and the principle of fair chase. It was held that the provisions were rational since they would prevent the hunting of lions that are completely dependent on humans. Consequently, the court also held that the provisions were reasonable.
Accordingly, the application was dismissed with costs.

The case concerned a dispute between the applicant, a non-profit company involved in the promotion of a wildlife conservancy and the first respondent, a mining business within the area of jurisdiction of the second respondent. The applicant invoked its entitlement in public interest to apply for an interdict restraining the first respondent from making any development on any portion of the concerned properties as defined in s 1 and s 38(3), of the KwaZulu-Natal Planning and Development Act No. 6 of 2008 (KZNPD).
The applicant argued that the first respondent was required to apply for its proposed development but the applicant contended that it had not yet obtained such authorisation. The first respondent contended that it had been granted approval for mining authorisations in March 1998, in terms of the then applicable Minerals Act No. 50 of 199. The first respondent argued that mining authorisations approved and granted under the Minerals Act entailed that no further authorisations were required where a mining right subsisted.
The court pointed out that mining authorisations were subject only to the provisions of the Minerals Act and there was no provision similar to that in the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 28 of 2002. The court found that the concerned properties were not inside a municipal area and were never the subject of any zoning controls when mining authorisation was granted. On the basis of this alone, no further authorisations were required under any other legislation. Accordingly, the application was dismissed with costs.
Martipei Parmaya v Republic [2017] eKLR (Criminal Appeal 126 of 2017); (11 December 2017);

The matter was an appeal from a conviction on the charge of being found in possession of wildlife trophies in contravention of s95 and 92 of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act of 2013 ("Act").
The appellant argued that the trial court overlooked the inconsistencies and contradictions in evidence and applied the doctrine constructive possession of the wildlife trophies erroneously.
The court established that evidence must be led to prove the fact of possession and the contradiction in witnesses' testimonies put the question of possession in doubt. Court also found that the doctrine of recent possession was erroneously applied.
The court considered s92 and established that it does not create an offence in so far as offences in respect of endangered species or their trophies are concerned but only a punishment and as such the suspect could not be tried under it. Further, that the proper provision that created an offence in respect to wildlife trophies and trophies generally was s95 and that suspects should be charged under the same until the Act is amended.
The conviction was quashed and the appeal was allowed on account of failure of the prosecution to prove the case to the required standard.

This was an appeal against the decision of the respondents refusing to issue an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Licence for the appellants' housing project. The appellants asked the tribunal to set aside the decision and award costs of the appeal.
The respondents argued that they had received strong objections from members of the local community since the project was in a wildlife migratory corridor and dispersal area.
The tribunal determined whether the respondents were justified in their decision, subject to the objections, without considering if the objectives of the project could be met in absence of the project. The tribunal noted that the objecting stakeholders also found the project to be worthwhile. The tribunal found that the respondents failed by ascertaining that the views of the objecting stakeholders expressed the views of a significant section of the local community. The tribunal also found that the respondents failed to demonstrate that the potential adverse impacts could not be mitigated.
Based on these findings, the tribunal unanimously set aside the respondents' decision and issued an EIA licence for the appellants' project but on several conditions

The matter dealt with a petition of appeal arising out of a dispute over the destruction of the respondent's crops by wild animals that entered the respondent's farm.
The court considered whether s3A(l) of the Wildlife Act, imposed liability on the appellant to compensate for loss or destruction of crop. The court held that s3A(l) imposed a duty on the appellant to protect the crops from destruction by wildlife and compensate for destruction.
The court considered whether there is a common law obligation under the principle in Donoghue v Stevenson 1932 SC (HL) 31 and the rule in Ryland v Fletcher [1866] LR 1Ex 265 on the appellant to compensate for damage or destruction caused by wildlife. The court found that neither were applicable to the present matter based on the facts of the case.
The court considered whether damage caused by migrating wildlife is an act of God. Consideration must be given to the question whether the event was reasonably foreseeable. Migration of wildlife is an annual occurrence thus, foreseeable and so not an act of God.
The court considered whether the government ought to be liable for destruction by wildlife. Factually, the appellant had the duty of control of the wildlife because of s3A of the Wildlife Act and so the court held that liability for the damage fell on the appellant.
Court of Appeal judgment upheld.

The court considered a petition whereby the petitioner sought an order of certiorari to quash a Gazette Notice declaring his land to be forest land. The petitioner had entered into a sale agreement with the original owner of the land by which the parties agreed to a down payment upon successful application to the land control board. The Petitioner took immediate possession and contracted to pay the balance of the purchase price after the maize season. The application was made and rejected due to the Ministry of Natural Resource's interest in the land. Subsequently, the land control board met and the petitioner's application was granted, however, the land was transferred to the government and marked a forest.
The petitioner argued that during the dispute, its members were harassed and evicted from their farms, with their houses being torched.
The court found that there was no doubt that the petitioner had entered into a sale agreement. Further, the control board acted in a manner to deny the petitioner the land. The court found that based on a letter received from the Commissioner of Land, there was a clear acknowledgment of foul play in the manner in which the government came to buy the land. Further, the government had deprived the petitioner of its right to land and subjected its members to poverty. In conclusion, the court held that the land was to be placed in the name of the petitioner as it was the rightful and lawful owner.

This was an appeal against the decision of a magistrate to dismiss an application challenging the jurisdiction of that court to determine matters covered under the Wildlife Conservation Act. The respondent who was attacked by a baboon, commenced proceedings, claiming damages for pain and suffering and loss of amenities.
The High Court observed that s 25 of the act limits the claims to be made by virtue of the list contained in the third schedule. The court held that an attack by a baboon did not fall under section 25 of the Act, when read with the schedule. The court further pointed out that section 25 did not remove the jurisdiction of other courts, but merely introduced an easy way for poor farmers to claim compensation for the destruction of their crops and livestock. The court held that the magistrate was empowered to hear the matter. Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed with costs.

The court considered an appeal against a decision of the High Court dismissing an application for a remedy over a land dispute on the grounds that there were disputes of fact that could not be ascertained, which the appellants should have foreseen.
The first, second and third appellants were members of the fourth appellant, a company of Swazi indigenous people, formed to co-ordinate the ploughing of sugar cane by indigenous Swazis. The first and second respondent were adult Swazis employed by a wildlife business undertaking.
The court considered 1) whether the application should have been dismissed due to a failure by the applicants to join parties who had a substantial interest in the matter, and 2) whether the applicants succeeded in establishing that they were in peaceful and undisturbed possession of the land when they were evicted.
The court found that the appellants did not attempt to join, as respondents, two parties, including a trust controlling the wildlife business undertaking, which had a direct interest in the disputed land. The appellants argued that a trust is not a juristic person, but the court found that legal proceedings can be brought by and against a trust. It was also established that before they moved onto the land the appellants had already been removed from that land and were aware that their right to occupy the land was disputed. Based on the court's findings and failure to comply with the rules in the filing of heads of argument, the appeal was dismissed[kb1].

The Middleton Community Orchestra (below), under conductor Kyle Knox, brought off a splendid concert on last Wednesday evening.
The opening item was the Introduction and Allegro, Op. 47, for string quartet and string orchestra by Edward Elgar. This is a broad work of great Romantic sweep, featuring the lush textures pitting a large ensemble against a miniature one.
The largely amateur Middleton orchestra fields a very large string section. It has not yet completely fused into a suave entity, but the 30-odd players did a brave job of capturing the music's rhetorical richness.
The soloist for the evening was Dafydd Bevil (below), a French horn player who is very active in a number of orchestras and ensembles in the Madison area while currently engaged in doctoral studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Mead Witter School of Music.
Bevil boldly chose as his vehicle the second of Richard Strauss' two horn concertos. Neither is heard in concert very much, though the Concerto No. 1 is a little more familiar from recordings. That is a bravura piece, composed in 1882, when Strauss (below) was 18, and was written for his father, Germany's foremost horn virtuoso.
The Concerto No. 2 dates from the other end of Strauss's career, in 1942, the first of some wind concertos undertaken during and after World War II. Intended to recapture his earlier instrumental style, it is a much more studied piece than its predecessor.
Bevil, clearly a player of exceptional skill and musicality, powerfully met Strauss' showy and florid solo writing. This is a virtuoso musician with a promising future.
In 1912, inspired by the translations of Gilbert Murray, he produced music to set Murray's English texts for three of the plays by Euripides: The Bacchae, Electra, and Iphigenia in Tauris.
Before that, however, in 1909, still early in his career, Vaughan Williams composed incidental music to a production (in Greek) of the comedy by Aristophanes, The Wasps.
From that Aristophanic score, the composer put together an orchestral concert suite of an overture and five incidental numbers. The overture itself has enjoyed some frequency of concert performances, but the full suite is little known to the public over here.
This is exactly the kind of enterprise that makes the Madison area's musical life so stimulating and joyous.
This Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m., UW graduate horn student Dafydd Bevil (a Welsh named related to David, below top) will solo in the penultimate concert of the season by the mostly amateur but critically acclaimed Middleton Community Orchestra (below bottom).
The concert is held in the Middleton Performing Arts Center (below) that is attached to Middleton High School, 2100 Bristol Street.
General admission is $15 general admission; students are admitted for free.
Tickets are available at Willy St. Co-op West and at the door.
Students can get tickets at the door only on the night of the show. The box office opens at 6:30 p.m. and concert hall doors open at 7 p.m.
As usual, there will be a meet-and-greet reception (below) for the musicians and the audience after the performance.


Audi has revealed its 2016 Le Mans 24 Hours car - the R18.
The most powerful and efficient race car Audi has ever built has been 'fundamentally re-designed' by Audi Sport. Featuring 'innovative aerodynamics' representing the next stage in lightweight design and a modified hybrid system with lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, there is also an efficiency-optimised TDI engine.
"With our new Audi R18, we're setting a clear signal: Audi continues to put the pedal to the metal in motorsport, deliberately relying on TDI - the world's most successful automotive efficiency technology - at Le Mans," says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich.
In the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) that will start at Silverstone (Great Britain) on April 17, Audi Sport Team Joest will be fielding two new Audi R18 cars. In the interest of maximum cost efficiency, Audi and its Group sister brand Porsche, have both agreed to each compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours, the WEC season's pinnacle event, with only two instead of the most recent three cars.
"We're proud about being able to again represent the Audi brand in 2016 with such an extensive commitment in motorsport," says Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. "The new Audi R18 marks a major step that we're expecting a lot of at Le Mans and in the WEC. In the DTM, we already had the strongest car in 2015. That's what we'd like to build upon. Plus, the high demand for the new Audi R8 LMS is equally gratifying as the many young talents that are interested in the Audi Sport TT Cup."

Idamari perfectly illustrates the values of Scandinavian design, the core of which are high quality, attention to detail and emphasis on innovation.
Norwegian designer, Ida Mari Molander, established her independent jewellery label in 2012. Modernism and minimalism are key influences to the designer; which is clearly visible in the refined aesthetic of her sleek and graphic jewellery.
All pieces are hand-made in Berlin, from 925 sterling silver or 18 carat yellow or rose gold-plated sterling silver. The raw material is short traveled, as the label works with local silver refineries in Germany, in fact the only one in Europe delivering conflict free gold.
Her goal is to continuing working with suppliers and manufacturing companies in Germany, and some from within the EU. Whenever possible the tools purchased are produced in Switzerland, France and Germany.
Ida use 100% recycled eco silver whenever possible, and all scraps from production is carefully collected for re-use.


Readability is an important factor to be considered when designing for those with low-vision. Readability is a complement of legibility as discussed in section 1.0. By careful consideration of the display of words on the screen the act of reading can be facilitated. Design factors that improve readability include case of the word, the spacing of words, and the number of words on a line of text.
Words in lowercase typically work better than those in all caps. Small caps are to be avoided. Words should be spaced evenly on a line of text. Uneven spacing of words on a line decreases legibility.
Justified settings do not work well. A slight increase in letter spacing of a word is desirable. By opening the space between the letters slightly the word can become more visible.
The spaces between lines of words comprising a paragraph should be opened up; but not too much. The eye should easily track from line to line and not get confused.
The number of words in a line of type should be limited to 10-12 words or roughly 55-65 characters.
Creating hierarchies of type sizes is a good way to structure information, which promotes access to the intended message. Keep indents and tabs to a minimum. Indents need to be larger than ½ the size of the type face, 1 times the typeface size is ok (19px Verdana – 19px indent) but preferably larger but not larger than 2 times the typeface size because it interferes with line tracking by the reader.

Madden NFL '22 Review
By Brad Bortone on October 22, 2021 in Reviews
HIGH It's more than a roster update…
LOW …but not by much.
WTF Madden Ultimate Team is the ultimate wallet drain.
Before this review officially starts, readers should note that this is covering the Xbox One version of Madden NFL '22.
Though every effort was made to secure a Series X prior to Madden's release, there wasn't one to be found. Similarly, I would imagine it's likely that many of our readers may find themselves in a similar predicament. This review is for the patient masses who tirelessly check Twitter for stock updates. They are not alone.
At the end of GameCritics' review of Madden NFL '21, it was made clear that the series needed a next-gen update to maintain relevance. Fortunately, Madden NFL '22 does just enough to justify its existence on older consoles.
Maybe it isn't a "must-buy" in the truest sense (and that Tom Brady fanservice in the opening might deter even more buyers!) but EA Sports seemed to heed reviewers' advice and made some upgrades for the current season. They're mostly cosmetic, but the effort is noticeable and appreciated. There might not be a 4K sheen on the Xbox One version of Madden NFL '22, but that doesn't mean this edition is one to sneeze at. Player models are more realistically proportioned, and on-field graphical glitches have been smoothed out more than expected.
No, users aren't going to love the player faces, and the Create-a-Player is less feature-rich than desired. But on the field, where it counts, Madden still looks an awful lot like Sunday afternoon broadcasts. Gaming is certainly beginning to see diminished returns in graphical quality from generation to generation, and while Madden '22 on XBO might not be the belle of the ball, will anyone really notice in the middle of an intense scramble away from aggressive defense?
Last year's improvements to controls and Skill Stick nuances carry over to this edition with snappier response, even during chaotic pileups at mid-field. The number of onscreen animations is impressive, with tearing and clipping kept to a minimum, even when employing last-second misdirections and dives. Plus, the "pre-canned" feel of the juke animations is largely gone in Madden '22, resolving a concern players have had for several editions.
On a negative note, last year's improved AI seems to have set sail for next-gen machines, leaving Xbox One owners with a computer opponent that rarely learns from human error. This was a highlight of Madden '21 and it's disappointing that the challenge no longer scales appropriately. In short, gamers who enjoy spamming those cross patterns are about to fall in love with Madden all over again.
Under the hood, not much has changed in terms of features or modes. At least, nothing positive. Beyond the standard Play Now, the slightly improved (but still arcadey) KO and Yard modes, and the exhaustive Face of the Franchise story mode, not much has changed.
Otherwise, the venerable Franchise mode has been streamlined and sped-up, eliminating a lot of the office minutiae that mired down previous versions. Now, gamers can realistically manage their franchises without spending hours in menu trees and getting these dream teams on the field is much easier, making a true dynasty a realistic option for the average player.
Likewise, the simpler, more-focused story in Face of the Franchise eliminates a lot of the silliness (and horrific acting) of previous editions. EA Sports hasn't really matched the NBA 2K series for dramatic prowess, but the mode is a nice distraction for those who enjoy single-player gameplay, and moves along briskly, if not forgettably.
On the flip side of the enjoyment coin comes the long-in-the-tooth card mode, Madden Ultimate Team (MUT). Though card collecting has kind of exhausted its welcome, this year's MUT is more random and money-hungry than ever. Initial card packs seem weaker than in previous editions, practically forcing gamers to spend real money to derive any enjoyment from the mode. With an improved Franchise Mode and decent online offerings, it's likely that MUT is going to lose its luster to all but the most die-hard card trading fanatics.
Also, readers should notice the use of the word "decent" when describing online play. While games that stay connected played well, with little lag or delay, maintaining a steady connection was often difficult. Even on a wired, gigabyte internet connection, Madden '22 repeatedly booted back to the lobbies without explanation, and even crashed on occasion when trying to find a match. When it worked, online play was as strong as ever for the series. But the erratic connection problems made multiplayer more of a chore than it probably should be in 2021.
In many ways, that last sentence kind of sums up Madden NFL '22 for the Xbox One. When it does things right, the pure football gameplay remains one of the finest gaming experiences around. When it doesn't work, its flaws and missing elements are more evident than ever.
For gamers who haven't purchased a new Madden title in a few years (and refuse to spend time hunting for a new console) this is a solid, thorough sports sim that still brings a wealth of gameplay to the table.
Disclosures: This game is published by EA Sports and developed by EA Tiburon. It is currently available on XBO, XSX/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. This copy of the game was obtained via publisher and reviewed on the Xbox One. Approximately 12 hours of play were devoted to the single-player mode, and the game was not completed. Approximately 6 hours of play were devoted to online multiplayer modes.
Parents: According to the ESRB, this game is rated E and contains Mild Lyrics in the in-game music selections. Additionally, this is a lifelike representation of full-contact NFL football, and some tackling animations and injuries may concern some parents.
Colorblind Modes: There are colorblind modes available in the Game Settings menu.
Deaf & Hard of Hearing Gamers: Madden NFL 21 features subtitles and numerous tactile feedback features within the controller, in all modes. The game is easily playable without sound and is fully accessible.
Remappable Controls: No, the game's controls are not remappable.

The face scans are horrible, the hair looks so fake, the hair will actually glitch through the helmets, Same Reffs since the PS3, The AI is not smart, the celebrations are outdated, same gameplay as Madden NFL 20, The graphics on PS4 are very pixelized, People like Trevor Lawrence with long hair have fake looking hair that glitches through the helmets, EA is bad at giving player overalls, and just the game itself (on PS4/Xbox 1) is bad! Do not buy it (Even if it's on sale)! My review… Read more »

This is suppose to be new but gameplay mechanics is still the same as 20. New facial features dont mean shit. AI is still terrible on your side of the ball on d. Not sure why the ai cant figure out the concept of man to man defense when its self explanitory. Myteam is ok for the past seasons but does get old and stale when i dont much in game credits and pullout my card for the damn micros. I love the game of football but just tired of the same ol same ol.

Members of the three-year old editors' organization, the Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors (SPEEd) marked the founding of the organization with an outreach activity at the Anawim Home for the Abandoned and Rejected Elderlies in Barangay San Isidro in Rodriguez, Rizal Sunday.
Anawim has been established through the efforts of Catholic lay preacher andminister Bro. Bo Sanchez.
Former Manila Chronicle entertainment editor Iskho F. Lopez, who also edited the paper's tabloid publication Bongga before moving on to another career, the latest of which before he decided to join other elderlies in the facility was as editor at the Presidential Press Office during the term of Pres, Noynoy Aquino, was among the residents of the facility.
The one-time entertainment journalist's eyes lighted up to see his fellow writers in the facility on a Sunday morning.
The group, with the help of friends like Claire de Leon Papa of UNILAB, Manila Water (donated bottled water – Healthy Family), Kamuning Bakery and Café's Wilson Lee Flores (sent enough bread for the residents), Perci Intalan of IdeaFirst Company, Aileen Go of Megasoft, Rei Tan of BeauteDerm and her publicist Chuck Gomez – donated medicines and other stuff the residents need.
Lunch for the elderlies was also served. Before that, the editors engaged the elderlies in a sing-along and dancing to make their Sunday morning extraordinary.

"You were a warm, calm, bundle of pure love and it was the perfect compliment to my husband. Thank you for sharing you."
"Words cannot explain or express how grateful we are for your wonderful presence at our birth. You truly are an angel to me. "
"Robynne helped make our birth experience a fun and joyous event. Robynne is a loving and nurturing person. Her light hearted and compassionate approach to child birth was just what I needed in order to have a successful, natural, drug free hospital birth. I found that Robynne was an engaged, enthusiastic and focused doula. She was attentive and knowledgeable, a good teacher, and was really great at coaching dad. During the birth her sure eye contact and encouraging words helped keep me focused and at ease. She had creative and effective comfort measures which she used at all the right times. After the birth she continued to provide support and care, she knew intuitively exactly what we needed to be comfortable as new parents."

Zay talks to Andrew Hoepfner and Melinda Lauw of Whisper Lodge, a recent experiment in live ASMR experiences in New York. Zay caught up to the creators right after his experience in the lodge, so it's all super fresh.
Meanwhile: we've got a raft of News & Notes from headquarters-- new shows, new reviews, and a tiny little breakdown of what's up at IndieCade's NIGHT GAMES this Saturday night in LA.

The Science Behind iDNAtity - iDNAtity Audio - Music from your genes!
Well step inside the world of iDNAtity and listen to your DNA!
Our crazy scientists have created an App that converts your unique genetic code into musical notes. Using our exclusive iDNAtity scanner – along with some simple questions about your physical characteristics – you can create music from your genes!
The iDNAtity audio App shows how you can be creative with science by using a little imagination. If you think of DNA as a code of life and notes as a code of music, then with some ingenuity, an inventive arbitrary conversion can be applied to convert DNA into music! What does this mean and how does it work?
The DNA letters, A G C T are the codes of life, just like notes are codes for music!
iDNAtity audio has tried to stay as scientifically accurate as possible in its conversion of DNA into music. In the biological world, the DNA code reads in nucleotide triplets which produce chains of amino acids to form a protein strand, see "ABOUT DNA SCIENCE" figure 4. In the iDNAtity world, iDNAtity audio adds an alternative step and codes the DNA into music, using Table 1 as the arbitrary conversion.
Figure 1: The crazy scientist showing how a chromosome is made up of a long strand of piano keys. The codons on the piano keys code for chains of notes which make up the music.
Crazy scientist in figure 1 shows how the chromosome unwinds into a long strand of piano keys. We can read the piano key codons as GAG TTT GAT CCT GGT TCA GGA CTA CGC TGG CGG CGT. Using Table 1 as a reference, we can convert the piano key codons into a chain of notes (Hz) 1661-55-1397-440-1760-78-1980-392-740-131-831-698. This chain of notes then folds into music.
The questions asked about the App user's profile are all questions that genetic scientists have discovered the complete or partial DNA sequences that code for each particular phenotype. For example the gene for eye colour is called the OCA2 gene and is located on the human chromosome 15. To find this gene click on – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/genome/guide/human – click on chromosome 15 and down the long arm of the chromosome – click on Hs.654411, Oculocutaneous albinism II. This nucleotide sequence for the eye colour gene was used to create the genotype profile of the App user. In a similar manner, the nucleotide sequences for the other phenotype profiling questions are used to create the users genotype profile and ultimately their unique iDNAtity audio.
Your DNA code found on the genotype profile page is a partial nucleotide sequence. iDNAtity's arbitrary conversion, described above, converts this sequence into your unique DNA audio. With a choice of instruments that suits your musical taste, why not save the audio on your device, email to yourself or share with others via Facebook and/or Twitter.
Table 1: The musical code of iDNAtity audio: from this table showing all 64 codons, you can see that each codon encodes for a specific note. E.g. GCT codes for 1109 Hz, TAT codes for 87 Hz. Also the nucleotide letter directly before the codon determines the length of the note. E.g. TGCT codes for a full note of 1109 Hz and GTAT codes for an eighth of 87 Hz.


An Odyssey, meaning a long and eventful or adventurous journey or experience.
Right out of the gate on January 6th and 21st we have two Eclipses teeming with the right and perfect frequencies to move us forward in Dramatic Fashion in the new year 2019. A 12/3 Year in numerology with a Vibrational Significance of Faith, Divinity, Growth and Success.
We start off 2019 with all planets direct, moving in forward motion which means the energy sweeping through from the cosmos is at our back also pushing and moving us forward with momentum, support and speed.
PLUS , the groundwork we have been laying, and the seeds we have been tending to are ready to bear fruit in 2019 in at least one area of life.
Are you ready to kick off 2019 is Dramatic Fashion with sails up and wind at your back?
Join me Esther Bartkiw and people from around the world, harnessing the power and might of these Eclipses and other cosmic alignments + Universal Downloads to Raise your Vibration and take your Ascension Process to next level of experience.
As I was preparing for this Eclipse Event I received Divine Guidance that the time is NOW to challenge our beliefs, concepts of reality and truths like never before. Eclipses shake us to wake us, and we can all use a wake up in at least one area of life. The wake up occurs when our beliefs are challenged and we are open to explore and determine what rings Truth for us. Rather then believe blindly what we have been told and have been indoctrinated with.
We wake up when we become aware of the lies, deception, and limitations holding us down. When we challenge our beliefs, open to other possibilities, triggering an Ah Ha. The Ah Ha leads to new insight, understanding, new awareness and ultimately conscious expansion. Equipped with this new information and inner ding, ding, ding we make new choices and decisions to support living the life we desire, on our terms, our way.
I have been asked by the Divine to use this event to challenge you as much as possible during our time together with the intention of stimulating a greater awakening and thus ultimately greater change. To present during email updates and energy transmission calls, new information, new possibilities for you to consider. To inspire you in taking action steps to manifest and co-create with Universe your deepest desires.
And to harness the Eclipse energies of Big, Bold, Dramatic Change + other cosmic alignments and use them as rocket fuel to propel you forward in your life on your Soul's Journey of Ascension.
I look forward to seeing what presents and unfolds during these 10 1/2 weeks together. Being present in the moment with you and our Group addressing timely and important issues and situations all in the name of Expansion, Greater Freedom and breaking from the Matrix.
I extend to you a personal invitation to join me on the Eclipse~Equinox Odyssey, meaning a long and eventful or adventurous journey or experience, and let's do Eclipse Season together!
Receive the fruits of your efforts, Challenge yourself to an even Greater Awakening, Heighten Cosmic Spiritual Enlightenment, Anchor More Light Onto The 5D New Earth Grid and Be A Light To The World.

Eclipses create Endings and New Beginnings.
Eclipses blast away roadblocks standing in our way.
Eclipses trigger shock and awe at the might, power and LOVE of the Universe.
Eclipses reveal Truths. Break down barriers. Create Timeline Shifts.
Eclipse, Solstice and Equinox energies catapult us to our next experience, the next vibration leveling up and onto new timelines. We recently experienced a magnificent December Solstice which wrapped up 2018 which rumbled with a further dismantling of the Illusion, opened our eyes to Truth, to New and took each of us individually and globally to a whole new experience of living on Earth. December Solstice also opened the Gateway to our next Eclipse Season which starts January 6th with a Solar Eclipse.
Eclipses, Solstice and Equinox offer us the opportunity to re-engineer our thinking, recalibrate to new frequencies, activate the crystals within and charge up with New Light, receive new universal codes and reboot.
During the upcoming Eclipse ~ Equinox Event, the energies will be powerful, potent, rampant and exhilarating. They will also create situations and events for us personally and globally to help usher in higher frequencies and new Light Coding. Sometimes these situations are easy going and fun, and at times they can also be challenging; charged with emotion.
Eclipses create abrupt change in our lives. Equinox opens the Star-Gates to Higher Realms of Consciousness. All of these Celestial Events combining together will shake our worlds personally and globally to assist us in our Ascension Process.
The upcoming Eclipse Season will offer us a deeper embedding onto 5D New Earth Grid and living in 5D and above energies for all who choose this path. If you are reading this page know that on some level you are choosing for Love and Beyond.

A consistent sentiment among multifamily housing leasing professionals is to know your resident and understand that one size does not fit all. The industry has strived in recent years to appeal as much as possible to individual preferences, especially in lease processes, while keeping a keen eye on the trends that drive folks to rental housing.
Understanding what drives residents and prospects to apartments is no easy task. In a world driven by personal preference and instant gratification, providing the right housing options may seem like a Herculean task. A huddle at July's RealWorld conference in Las Vegas provided good insight on how today's rental market came to fruition, and with it that understanding of what motivates today's renters.
Scott Herring, Vice President, YieldStar Research Services, and Cameron McIntosh, Research Analyst, YieldStar Research Services, offered a thought-provoking retrospective of the single-family housing crash that began in 2007 and how it gave fuel to the creation of rent-intensive housing.
For property managers, the message flowing on the charts and graphs is that renters are either leasing because they can't own or they don't want the risk of owning homes. Couple that with an aging population segment that wants to downsize and let somebody else take care of maintenance and upkeep, you have today's Renter Nation.
"The transition to renting was both driven by necessity and by preference," said Herring.
That's good fodder for property managers who need to understand why prospects are walking through the door and residents are living in their communities.
Among reasons for the shift to renting are that people were no longer able to manage mortgage payments or meet tougher financing standards following the recession, Herring said. Some have chosen the apartment lifestyle because of mobility needs, such as flexibility to change jobs and relocate, plus the preference to live without massive debt. For some, renting is a solution to better manage the struggle and loss from the bust.
Homeowners took a whipping as the recession began unwinding. They lost more than $7 trillion of equity invested – more than 40 percent of the 2016 Q1 Gross Domestic Product – when the dust settled. In the meantime, homeowners still owed lenders, and their mortgage amounts didn't drop with home values. Foreclosures mounted, especially as over-valued markets along the east and west coasts were awash in financial tsunamis.
A contributor before the crash was the easy-credit phase of the run-up, which sent money flowing in disproportionally to single-family investments.
"Easy mortgage lending standards made it possible for individuals to become homeowners, individuals who might not currently qualify," McIntosh said.
Although the economy has recovered in many parts of the country, it's been a very slow journey from the bust. Nearly 10 years later, the rent mentality is still moving along, despite some of the lowest mortgage interest rates of all time.
Interest in shifting back to the single-family markets doesn't appear to have much momentum, but one lender told me that he's been "hopping" since 2012 because of increased mortgage activity. Still, the total value of home mortgages issued are 12 percent below the peak in 2008, whereas multifamily loans are up about 36 percent.
On the supply side, developers are reinforcing the multifamily momentum as apartment permitting has jumped more than 30 percent in the last eight years, while single-family permits are down by 17 percent.
Many understand that Renter Nation isn't just about everybody gleefully jumping on renting apartments, or even single-family homes. Prospects won't tell you that they are looking at your property because they lost their home, got a credit ding or no longer can qualify for a mortgage. Today's renter is probably smart enough to figure out they can afford the rent – we know they've already done their research.
Too often, we hear that property managers make the mistake of first asking when a prospect wants to move in or how much is in the rent budget, immediate turnoffs. Perhaps the opening question should be, what do you want from your apartment living experience? You need to know their expectations.
The emotional and social scars left in both baby boomers, Gen Xers and Millennials have created a new narrative for how they have chosen to live, McIntosh says. As of now, the crowd is saying no to mortgages and yes to the flexibility of renting.
And how well property managers know their residents and prospects.


I've been asked if I do this before, and the answer was always some version of "sort-of." Informal, outdoor portraiture. There, I said it.
Yesterday, co-conspirator Emerson Street was good enough to model pins for my new Etsy shop, Felt Parade (more on that later). The shoot was short and sweet- and relatively painless, I think.
I've always shied away from portraiture in general. I've seen some amazing, dramatic work done in the studio with umbrellas, lights, and all kinds of equipment currently lacking in my arsenal.
On the other end of the spectrum is the outdoor, informal portrait genre in which the model/family/couple/person tries to look relaxed/natural outside of a studio setting. Lately, I've observed Engagement Photography growing in popularity; most of what I've seen of this subset shows the couple outdoors. The results can be very nice or abysmal (I've seen both).
I've been reluctant to ever attempt this type of photography, despite the fact that it can be lucrative for photography, for the simple fact that the majority of engagement sessions I look at seem boring – or, even worse: hackneyed. I'm not sure if this is the fault of the photographer, the client(s) for desiring a certain type of 'look,' or a mixture of both.
I'm not going to provide a link to work I [subjectively] consider sub-par, but suffice it to say that if you look at enough portraiture blogs, you will uncover much awkward/badly exposed/uncompelling/poorly composed informal portrait photography!
Long story short, I had a lot of fun yesterday! For once, I used my 70-300mm telephoto for what it's really good at! It almost feels as though I have a whole new lens. I'm feeling inspired by these types of portraits now, and I'm going to have to convince more unwitting friends to traipse about in front of my lens.
All that said, this type of photographic work cannot hold a candle to nighttime long-exposures for me. However, I'd really love to become more profitable with my photography, and this seems like a rewarding avenue to explore!How does one get started? Do you do pro-bono work until you have a suitable portfolio that demonstrates a consistent style? Then what? I'm not sure how to begin to market a small business like this, or how to begin to build a client base.
It's something I'll be thinking about.
Any portrait photographers out there? I'd love to hear your story and learn from your expertise!

Now it's time for All Tech Considered.
(SOUNDBITE OF MONEY PRINTING MACHINE)
SHAPIRO: That is the drumbeat of money being printed at the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. And what is being printed on $100 bills these days is pretty amazing. Thanks to new technology, it may be only a matter of time before we look at Ben Franklin and he winks back. Reporter Allyson McCabe explains.
ALLYSON MCCABE, BYLINE: In 2005, shortly after earning a master's degree in electrical and computer engineering, Sam Cape responded to a mysterious help wanted ad. He didn't know much going into the interview, but what he saw blew his mind.
SAM CAPE: It was slid across the table to me during the interview. And I didn't know whether I could touch it, if it would shock me. I mean, it seemed like it was alive.
MCCABE: The object Cape held in his hand was a prototype of a technology he'd go on to develop as the R&D director for Massachusetts-based Crane Currency, which has produced the paper for U.S. bank notes since 1879. And since 2013, Cape's motion technology has been woven into every $100 bill.
CAPE: The motion technology uses tiny lenses that are about 23 microns in diameter. That means you can fit several of them, probably a dozen of them, on the tip of a human hair.
MCCABE: These lenses magnify underlying microimages to create an intriguing visual effect, sort of like a 3-D crackerjack prize.
CAPE: When you tilt the bank note left and right, the images go up and down. When you tilt the bank note up and down, the images go left and right. And we took that to the next level with the U.S. hundred because we also introduced an image that switches from the Liberty Bell to the numeral 100.
MCCABE: You can see this effect on a thin ribbon next to Ben Franklin's face. It's one of more than a dozen visual effects on the $100 bill. Cape says further refinements are in the pipeline for use here and abroad, and the technology is already in more than a hundred denominations worldwide.
CAPE: Right now we're in production on the even next-generation technology called surface. And this is going to allow for even larger images and more engaging three-dimensional effects.
MCCABE: More sophisticated animations may be possible, even games. But the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's director, Len Olijar, says the new technology serves a very practical purpose.
LEN OLIJAR: Today there are 12 billion $100 notes in circulation around the world. Our currency is really the world's currency to a significant degree. And we face counterfeiting threats on almost all of the continents right now. So we need to have a very robust set of security features.
MCCABE: Olijar says cutting-edge visual effects are hard to replicate and help to deter the bad guys.
OLIJAR: Less than one-hundredth of 1 percent of the notes in circulation are counterfeit.
MCCABE: He says one of the most effective security features is the paper itself. It's made of cotton and linen, and has a distinctive feel enhanced by a raised printing process. Olijar says paper currency offers security advantages over digital cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
OLIJAR: I think United States currency has a very strong brand and that it is anonymous yet safe to use in transactions. And people hold it for a store of value. They know the United States currency is good today, good tomorrow and good forever.
MCCABE: Cape says he hopes to keep it that way for reasons both scientific and sentimental.
CAPE: You can always trade with paper currency no matter what technological snags you run up against. And it's just, you know, you're not going to slip a computer chip into your nephew's birthday card. I mean, something about having that cash pop out, you know, it's memorable.
MCCABE: Like a crackerjack prize, only more valuable. For NPR News, I'm Allyson McCabe.

Analytical model for straining-dominant large-retention depth filtration
Chemical Engineering Journal. 2017. Vol. 330. P. 1148-1159.
Liudmila Kuzmina, Bedrikovetsky P., You Z., Osipov Y., Badalyan A.
A method for determining pore size distribution for a porous medium from long-time straining-dominant mono-sized suspension injection is proposed. The aim is avoiding using multiple-size particle suspensions in short-term challenge tests. We derive an exact solution for long-time non-linear injection of particles with the same size, where the non-linearity is determined by accumulation of strained particles and alternation of porous medium properties. The exact downscaling procedure, determining the evolution of pore size distribution from an exact solution of large-scale equations is developed. It shows the preferential plugging of large pores during mono-sized particle transport, explaining well-posed formulation of pore-size distribution tuning from breakthrough concentrations and retention profiles. The laboratory tests on long-term mono-sized injections, where straining dominance has been monitored by DLVO-repulsion between particles and porous media, have been performed. High quality match of the breakthrough concentrations by the analytical model has been observed. The tuned-model-based prediction of the retained profiles also shows close agreement with the experimental data, which validates the proposed method.

Overlap of two Brownian trajectories: exact results for scaling functions
Tamm M., Stadnichuk V., Ilyina A. et al. Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics. 2014. Vol. 89. P. 042137.
We consider two random walkers starting at the same time t = 0 from different points in space separated by a given distance R. We compute the average volume of the space visited by both walkers up to time t as a function of R and t and dimensionality of space d. For d < 4, this volume, after proper renormalization, is shown to be expressed through a scaling function of a single variable R^2/t. We provide general integral formulas for scaling functions for arbitrary dimensionality d < 4. In contrast, we show that no scaling function exists for higher dimensionalities d more or equal to 4.
Unsteady Gerstner waves
Abrashkin A. A. Chaos, Solitons and Fractals. 2019. Vol. 118. P. 152-158.
We present an analytical description of the class of unsteady vortex surface waves generated by non- uniformly distributed, time-harmonic pressure. The fluid motion is described by an exact solution of the equations of hydrodynamics generalizing the Gerstner solution. The trajectories of the fluid particles are circumferences. The particles on a free surface rotate around circumferences of the same radii, with the centers of the circumferences lying on different horizons. A family of waves has been found in which a variable pressure acts on a limited section of the free surface. The law of external pressure distribution includes an arbitrary function. An example of the evolution of a non-uniform wave packet is considered. The wave and pressure profiles, as well as vorticity distribution are studied. It is shown that, in the case of a uniform traveling wave of external pressure, the Gerstner solution is valid but with a different form of the dispersion relation. A possibility of observing the studied waves in laboratory and in the real ocean is discussed.
A Branch and Bound Algorithm for the Cell Formation Problem
Irina Utkina, Mikhail Batsyn. In bk.: Models, Algorithms and Technologies for Network Analysis, Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics. Vol. 156. Switzerland: Springer, 2016. P. 115-124.
The cell formation problem (CFP) is an NP-hard optimization problem considered for cell manufacturing systems. Because of its high computational complexity several heuristics have been developed for solving this problem. In this paper we present a branch and bound algorithm which provides exact solutions of the CFP. This algorithm finds optimal solutions for 13 problems of the 35 popular benchmark instances from the literature.
Exact Solution for Long-Term Size Exclusion Suspension-Colloidal Transport in Porous Media
You Z., Bedrikovetsky P., Kuzmina L. Abstract and Applied Analysis. 2013. Vol. 2013. P. 1-9.
Long-term deep bed filtration in porous media with size exclusion particle capture mechanism is studied. For mono dispersed suspension and transport in porous media whit distributed pore sizes, the micro stochastic model allows for upscaling and the exact solution is derived for the obtained macro scale equation system. Results show that transient pore size distribution and nonlinear relation between the filtration coefficient and captured particle concentration during suspension filtration and retention are the main features of long-term deep bed filtration, which generalises the classical deep bed filtration model and its latter modifications. Furthermore, the exact solution demonstrates earlier breakthrough and lower breakthrough concentration for larger particles. Among all the pores with different sizes, the ones with intermediate sizes (between the minimum pore size and the particle size) vanish first. Total concentration of all the pores smaller than the particles turns to zero asymptotically when time tends to infinity, which corresponds to complete plugging of smaller pores.

COACHING is about finding out the cause of poor performance or behaviour and discussing with the team member how to put it right.
The team member might respond immediately to coaching and improve the situation. However, the improvement will not always be permanent and you may have to do further coaching.
When I suggest this to some managers, they see it as some kind of touchy-feely, softly-softly approach. Let me assure you right now that it is not.
What it involves is telling the team member what part of his behaviour you are unhappy with, listening to what he has to say and agreeing on a way forward.
The goal is to effect a change in behaviour that the team member is committed to - which helps you to achieve your outcomes.
Think of a time when somebody - a teacher, parent or boss - coached, taught or encouraged you to get better at something.
When I ask this question at a seminar, I get responses such as, "I felt good/inspired/motivated/pleased/confident and wanted to do better".
The first objective of coaching is to resolve poor behaviour. If the process is carried out properly, then that is what you will achieve, although there are other benefits such as higher productivity and morale.
Coaching allows you to make it very clear to your team members what is expected of them. Many managers fall into the trap of "assuming" that a team member knows what is expected, and this is the cause of many examples of poor behaviour.
For instance, the member might not know that "reports had to be submitted by the 15th of the month", or that "he could give the customer his money back", or that "he had to be on time for the meeting".
Coaching allows you to calmly and clearly make it known what you expect.
The only real motivation is internal motivation. Coaching enables you to create the environment where the team member makes the decision to change for himself.
This means that he is more committed to the change, and it is more likely to happen.
It is also easier on you because you do not have to "drive" the person to make the changes.
If you coach poor behaviour as and when it occurs, then you are likely to have far fewer interviews with your team members in which you have to warn them of the consequences of their actions.
The manager who ignores poor behaviour lets the situation build up and then finds himself in a "warning" situation.
If you coach your team members in a positive way - you want them to become better, happier workers - your people will see you as supportive and understanding.
They will know that you are not just "picking" on them and that you are looking for a win-win situation.
That means better results, goals achieved and much less stress all around.

The one big reason the Broncos cannot bench Trevor Siemian
By Dieter Kurtenbach | FoxSports
TAMPA, FL - OCTOBER 2: Quarterback Trevor Siemian #13 of the Denver Broncos warms up before the start of an NFL game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 2, 2016 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Brian Blanco/Getty Images)
It was a risky proposition from the onset -- a play that was brought on more by an ideology than a competition. When the Denver Broncos opted to go with second-year quarterback Trevor Siemian -- the 250th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft -- it was not because the Northwestern product was necessarily a winning quarterback in the NFL, it was because he was the QB on the Broncos' deliberately bare-bones depth chart who gave the team the best chance to win.
It was a bit shocking that John Elway, one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, built a roster that left Siemian as the team's starting QB. One would have imagined that Elway would value the quarterback position above all in team building, but instead, the defending Super Bowl champions opted to double-down on the formula they almost accidentally stumbled upon last year: defense, defense, defense, and just enough offense. Why pay big bucks for a big-time quarterback when you don't need big-time results?
But the Broncos do need some results, some production, from the quarterback position, and there's growing evidence that Siemian no longer can provide the necessary offensive output for the Broncos to win games. And with the quarterback of the future, first-round pick Paxton Lynch, waiting in the wings and the Broncos on a bye week, there are growing calls to make a quarterback change.
But it's too late for that kind of a move -- the Broncos are Siemian's team for the remainder of the regular season, for better or for worse.
Denver is in the middle of a playoff race, and while the optimist looks at what Lynch has done in limited playing time this season, the pessimist has to be fearful of pinning a team's late-season playoff chances to a rookie quarterback with fewer than 60 pass attempts to his name.
Siemian is practically a rookie as well, but he has experience. It's now incumbent upon him to learn from that experience and adapt.
Siemian was able to facilitate the creation of that offensive quota for the first three weeks of the season before being sidelined by a shoulder injury. Since then, his play has been sporadic at best -- starting with a 50-attempt contest in which he averaged 4.60 yards per attempt and culminating in a three-game stretch in which he's completed only 55 percent of his passes and has performed well below the league average for his position. The Broncos went 2-1 in that three-game stretch, but it wasn't because of their quarterback.
The Broncos' defense is Super Bowl worthy, but without running back C.J. Anderson, without the strong offensive line play displayed earlier this season, and without a playmaking quarterback, a great defensive season could well be played in vain.
The biggest issue with the Broncos' starting quarterback is his inability to work the intermediate and deep passing game into Denver's offense. Only 27 percent of Siemian's throws this season have been more than 10 yards downfield, and he's completed less than half of those throws.
Defenses have keyed in on how Siemian is successful in the Broncos offense -- the short passing game -- and are making those passes more difficult to complete while daring him to go deep down field.
Siemian doesn't have elite arm talent or accuracy (at any level of the passing game), so defenses are willing to take their chances on being burned deep.
Beyond that, defenses have increasingly confused Siemian with exotic coverages and stunts that have created a significant upswing in interceptions (five in his past three games).
So why not go to Lynch? The rookie has a cannon for an arm, has seen the field a bit, and is going to be the team's quarterback eventually. If Siemian has been figured out, why not expedite the move and see if the kid out of Memphis can create a late-season spark?
It makes sense in a lot of ways, but it's too late to make the swap. When the Broncos chose Siemian over Lynch for the first game of the regular season, they placed a massive bet on him. When they went back to Siemian after Lynch saw the field for two games in early October, they became fully pot committed.
Everything that is happening with Siemian now -- all the confusion and back-foot play -- eventually is going to happen to Lynch, and the Broncos cannot afford to have that happen down the stretch of a season.
The time for a peaceful transition of power at quarterback has passed.
No, Denver is going to have to hope that Siemian can find a way to take his game to the next level over the next seven weeks and six games.
If he can, the Broncos will be in the postseason and be a worthwhile bet to defend their crown. If not, Lynch will take over a Broncos team looking to get back into the playoffs in 2017.
