Combine participants go over their good and bad plays on tape with almost every NFL team they meet during the week-long affair, but very few have a film session centered around play after the whistle. Oklahoma guard Dru Samia is among the few, if not the only one.
The 6-foot-5, 305-pound Samoan behemoth is often praised for his physicality and intensity. He's a nasty finisher that plays to the echo of the whistle if not beyond it, and teams took notice. Samia said in a March interview with Pro Football Focus that one NFL team went over a playlist of his "extraness" and highlighted the nastiness they liked –and didn't like — after the whistle.
Teams liked most of the plays, of course.
Samia's aggressive approach to the game, however, does, as he admits, get him into trouble during and after the play. He earned an impressive 78.8 pass-blocking grade this past season but just a 62.7 run-blocking grade largely because of his tendency to prioritize physicality over technique.
Samia earned a positive grade on 8.7% of his run blocks a year ago, a top-100 number and very impressive compared to the draft class. He, however, paired his impressive impact blocks with too many missed blocks, earning a negative grade on 9.1% of his run blocks.
Removing the negative plays from his rap sheet starts with pad level, and he's determined to improve in that area.
"I have good horizontal leverage but as far as vertical leverage, that's what kind of hinders me from moving these guys off the ball as much as I want to," Samia said. "I can get movement along the line, but displacing someone vertically requires you to be under their pads.
Constantly improving, in addition to his physicality, is what Samia holds in high regard.
Samia is already a physical, impactful blocker with a mean streak – traits that can't be coached or taught at the next level. The bully in him, combined with his above-average athleticism and size, create for a high ceiling at the next level, and if he continues to refine his craft and polish his technique, he'll reach it in the NFL.

Lyrics Uncovered: Brett Young, 'Like I Loved You'
Brett Young was really stalled on his "Like I Loved You" lyrics until eating lunch with his co-writer led to an unexpected breakthrough.
Young wrote "Like I Loved You" with Jesse Lee, and he admits that they were stuck in a fruitless writing session for two-and-a-half hours before deciding to try to break out of the rut.
"We did the ceremonial, 'Let's go to lunch to try and get out of the room,'" he recalls (quote via the Boot). "We're sitting at lunch, and she started telling one of her — we all have our horror stories in relationships. Within the conversation, she said something like, 'And then, at the end of it, he asked me if we could still be friends.' She got so fired up; she's like, 'Who thinks that that's ever a good idea?' She started flipping out about it."
Watch Brett Young Perform "In Case You Didn't Know" for RISERS
Her words struck inspiration with Young, who couldn't wait to get back to the writing session. They used Lee's story as the jumping off point for the "Like I Loved You" lyrics in the chorus, writing, "Don't tell me we could still be friends / Hang out on the weekends / You're gonna be OK if I start seeing somebody new, you hope that I do / It won't be long / Til I forget to call every time that I'm drinking / And you ain't the love song that I can't keep from singing / I gotta be honest if you really believe that's the truth / You never loved me like I loved you."
Young recalls that once they had a strong idea, the "Like I Loved You" lyrics and melody happened fast, but that's nothing unusual, he adds.
"Once you identify exactly what it is you want to say, it falls out fast. It's figuring out what you want to say that takes a while," he observes. "Once I heard her story and I was able to go back in my history and find a good experience of mine that I felt like attached to hers, we went back and we wrote it really quick."
Young recently released "Like I Loved You" as the third single from his self-titled debut album. He's already scored huge hits with "Sleep Without You" and "In Case You Didn't Know," which earned Young certification as the first song released from a country artist to reach Platinum status in 2017. ToC named him one of our RISERS for 2017, and we recently revealed his stunningly emotional cover of "Hallelujah" from the RISERS shoot, which has received more than a million views in just over a week.

Esquivel from his 11/10/16 booking log photo.
The following is a November 11 press release from the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office. The Mendocino Voice has not independently confirmed any of the information. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
The incident took place around 3pm November 7 on the 1300 block of North State Street in Ukiah, near the Discovery Inn. A respondent called in a report of four people in a red Toyota inhaling nitrous oxide. The respondent also said two females were leaving the car and entering different hotel rooms for short period and they suspected human trafficking.
Deputies responded to find the vehicle leaving the hotel parking lot containing 31 year old Edward Esquivel of Willits, "who was known to have a suspended drivers license," and a female who was later determined the be a juvenile. Esquivel pulled into oncoming traffic and crossed State Street to the Shell Station where deputies conducted a traffic stop. They also noticed nitrous oxide canisters and a machete in the vehicle.
According to the release, Esquivel became uncooperative and was asked to exit the vehicle. As he was being patted down, he pulled back and when other deputies arrived he became combative. A struggle ensued with Esquivel and several deputies, "all falling to the ground." The suspect tried to flee and was tased until he became incapacitated and was handcuffed. It was later determined he was under the influence of a controlled substance.
All deputies involved in the struggle sustained minor injuries. "Officers with Ukiah Police Department, California Highway Patrol and Mendocino County Probation Department arrived to assist the Sheriff's Office."
A search revealed a loaded handgun in Esquivel pants, which the release states he "had placed a handgun down his pants as he was being pulled over at the gas station." Esquivel's felony status prohibited him from possessing a firearm at the time. He was booked on $95,000 bail, and the juvenile female in the vehicle was arrested "by juvenile probation on unrelated charges."

On 11-07-2016 The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office received information that four subjects were inside a red Toyota vehicle inhaling nitrous oxide from a container while parked in the 1300 block of North State Street in Ukiah, California.
It was also reported two females were seen getting out of the vehicle and going into different hotel rooms for a short period of time and per the reporting person believed there to be a situation of human trafficking.
Sheriff's Deputies responded to the location and observed the vehicle pulling out of the hotel parking lot.
Deputies noticed the driver of the vehicle to be Edward Esquivel, who was known to have a suspended drivers license. The Deputies notice the vehicle was also occupied by one female passenger, later determined to be a juvenile.
Esquivel pulled out into oncoming traffic forcing cars to stop and he drove into the Shell gas station across the street where a traffic stop was conducted. A Deputy approached the vehicle on foot observing numerous nitrous oxide canisters between the seat and a machete laying in the back seat area.
Esquivel immediately became uncooperative and for officer safety reasons he was told to exit the vehicle. Once out of the vehicle a pat search of his clothing was conducted and when the Deputy was searching Esquivel's waist area he pulled back.
Esquivel became combative when other Deputies arrived and a struggle ensued resulting in Deputies and Esquivel all falling to the ground.
Esquivel was able to stand and tried to run away. At this time one of the Deputies deployed his Taser and Esquivel was incapacitated until other Deputies were able to handcuff him without further violence.
Esquivel continued to be uncooperative and later during the course of this investigation it was found he was under the influence of a controlled substance.
A search revealed Esquivel had placed a handgun down his pants as he was being pulled over at the gas station. The handgun was found to be loaded at the time of his arrest.
It was also determined Esquivel was a felon and was prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition
All of the Deputies involved in the struggle with Esquivel sustained minor injuries.
Officers with Ukiah Police Department, California Highway Patrol and Mendocino County Probation Department arrived to assist the Sheriff's Office.
The female juvenile who was in the vehicle was arrested by juvenile probation on unrelated charges.
Esquivel was booked into the Mendocino County Jail where he was to be held in lieu of $95,000.00 bail.

'I feel so many people are scared of me'- I tell Madam. 'Of course they are. You have incorporated into the Holy Trinity lately. Even I am scared of you'- my friend sounds seriously touched.
Strong as never. Even with all the intensity of the sideways. And even without.

What a beautiful picture, it reminds me of home!
Live and Lane [Learn} for out non English-speaking friends.
Okay, what does that mean for those of us who are English speaking? Lol!
Mamag15, thanks. I hadn't heard that one.
It is from a commercial about diapers.
Native English-speaking people can often grasp the use of puns when words sound a lot alike or rhyme in the use of puns.
Don't get me wrong, PW. I love puns. I'm married to one who uses them all the time. And yes, I'm a native English-speaking person so I do appreciate them. Please don't stop!
I agree with Taffi, PW. Keep up your puns. They may at times go over my head but I still enjoy them.
I couldn't stop using puns if I wanted to. It is such an ingrained habit that I do it without thinking.
I don't watch a lot of TV usually. Mostly news and sports and documentaries and talent shows, Taffi.
I also watch some religious programs.
KNM, if my puns go over your head, try reading them standing up.
I don't watch a lot of TV myself. An occasional cooking show and if I can catch it, there's a program on Animal Planet that I'll watch. That's it. I do have Netflix and catch a few things there.
Lol, PW! I'll try that.
What a delightful scene. Good place for a picnic and looks as though there might be a river flowing through on the left hand side.
"People don't always need advice. Sometimes all they really need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen, and a heart to understand them." Unknown.
Yep very true about a heart to listen. I was thinking like that the am of my surgery. Hubby was giving me advice at the surgery center. I recall Flip Wilson oh he was so funny.
Aussie, looks like Unknown hit it out of the park again! People, especially women, hate for others to give them advice. The best thing you can do for someone is to listen to them long enough for them to figure out their problem by themself. Then they not only have their solution, but they also feel good about themself!
Aww thank you Joyce - it went fine no cancer. At pre-op in his office the doctor discussed a major surgery. The down time is about 6 weeks. We were getting a puppy at about the same time as this procedure. While I was in the pre - op at the surgery center a nurse tells the staff oh she used the restroom this many times. Fibroids which are causing pain for one. I go back for a follow up in a couple weeks. When he finished with the procedure the doctor went out to see hubby and requested he go to a pharmacy to get pain meds and anti nausea meds. I had a sore throat from the tube that was inserted.
I'm so glad it's not cancer! Still, that 6 weeks of recovery can be rough. Be careful with the pain meds. I know from experience how addictive they can be. I have found that I really only need them for a few days after surgery, then I wean myself off slowly.
Did you get that puppy? What kind? Maybe the puppy can help the healing come faster! My prayers are still with you...God bless!
The 6 weeks of recovery is for major surgery. A couple years ago I broke my hand and had surgery. I spent all summer in the cast and at the doctors office. Yes we have the puppy - she's the most adorable sweetest and loving puppy. She's a sheltie. She's getting the hang of being housebroken. Then she was outside and she picked up a leaf and I said drop that and she let it go. She's very noise sensitive and shy to strangers. She kind of looks like Lassie from the tv show but smaller.
Thank you very much. I'm trying to keep myself busy and not think about it. I had problems with my insurance company before the surgery. Then they informed me that they want $996.00 by May 1st. Ugh! good lord!
Hubby went through that several years ago. He was about to go to court. He received a letter saying either go to court or start paying them off. If he had to pay them off he had to start paying a certain amount. Regarding the payment there was an issue with my insurance premium. The surgery center thought I had a high deductable. Still owe lots on another surgery a couple years ago. 3 surgeries in 2 years.
Oh how I love this new puppy! She's the most sweestest adorable little angel. She's going into the vet for a check up. I keep seeing her flip and scratch around her ears.
A nice and peaceful puzzle!
I like that last phrase Aussie. I think a good hug helps too don't you?
I do indeed. Special hugs just for your this morning Jingles.
Thanks dbnc I loved Flip Wilson and his humour when I lived over there, especially his character Geraldine. He was a very funny man. Hugs.
It is a pretty picture. Cold here today only 52 at noon, looking forward to some warmer days don't to have the heat or a/c on...had another earthquake today, didn't fell it. Have a good day!


When people think of visiting Beijing, China, they often think of conquering The Great Wall's many steps or soaking up the history of Tiananmen Square. Besides these iconic locations, if ever you get the chace to go to China's capital, pay the Summer Palace — a stunning lakeside retreat built for royalty — a visit.
True to its name, the best time to visit the Summer Palace is during the summer. The lake is frozen during winter time, making boat rides here impossible.
The Summer Palace is also protected by the government, leaving its original design and landscape preserved. It's the largest palace of its kind in China, and the perfect escape from the bustle of the city, despite being only 15 kilometres from central Beijing.
Beijing's Summer Palace is an impressive work of art that pays tribute to centuries-old Chinese landscape garden design, earning it a spot on UNESCO's World Heritage list. Expect to see lush flora accompanied by open water mingling with pavilions, halls, temples, bridges, and of course, a beautiful palace complex.
This royal abode was commissioned in 1750 by the Qianglong Emperor. It was destroyed by the Anglo-French Allied Forces during the second Opium War in the 1850s and rebuilt in 1886. In 1888, the Summer Palace was given its present-day Chinese name, Yiheyuan, and became the summer resort for the Empress Dowager Cixi. The palace was again destroyed during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 by the Allied Forces and rebuilt in 1912. It finally opened to the public in 1924.
There are a number of attractions at the Summer Palace. Can't say that this is surprising, considering how it covers about 300 hectares of land. If you don't have much time here, consider doing some research prior to your visit, to whittle the must-see list down to what's manageable.
The Court Area is near the East Palace Gate and houses the buildings where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu conducted government business. Here, visitors will find the Garden of Virtue and Harmony — a three-storey theatre where famous Beijing Opera actors performed for the Empress Dowager. There are numerous precious articles used by emperors and empresses and gifts presented to them displayed here.
While the Summer Palace has been constructed over a sprawling area, Kunming Lake spans over 75 per cent of the park. The lake houses the famous Seventeen-Arch Bridge and even has three small islands within it — Nanhu Island, Zaojiantang Island, and Zhijingge Island. The bridge is 150 metres long and looks like a rainbow across the lake.
The Long Corridor can be found beside the lake. Stretching from the Hall of Joy and Longevity (the living quarters of the Empress Dowager) to the Shizhang Pavilion, the colonnade is replete with beautiful paintings on the ceiling, often competing with its spectacular views.
For more architectural marvels, Longevity Hill features intricately-decorated gates, halls, and temples in Han and Tibetan styles. With a Buddhist temple on the peak, a visit here offers the opportunity to engage in spiritual contemplation.
Finally, the Back Hill's Suzhou Market Street can only be reached by boat, and was frequented by Emperors and their concubines who pretended to shop — everything was brought to them by servants. Meanwhile, the only Western-style structure in the park is a marble boat with colourful windows and wheels and paved with coloured bricks. So do keep an eye out for that too.

Liberian diplomat seeks justice for seven-year-old daughter sexually abused in Abuja
Photo used to illustrate the story
A Liberian diplomat, Nat Bayjay, has lamented the treatment meted to his seven-year-old daughter who was 'sexually abused' by two underaged Liberian brothers at the country's embassy in Abuja.
Mr Bayjay is the minister counsellor for press and public affairs at the Liberian embassy in Abuja.
"My biggest disappointment on this issue is that the Liberian government has refused to take responsibility for the girl's ailing health despite informing them several times. It is unfair that the family of the victim is left to bear the financial burden especially in an expensive city like Abuja.
"She is still disturbed; on and off, healthwise and this is as a result of what happened," Mr Bayjay told PREMIUM TIMES.
The Liberian diplomat who was posted to Nigeria in 2015, narrated how his seven-year-old daughter was sexually abused by two under-aged boys (13 and 14) at the embassy premises in Abuja.
According to Mr Bayjay, the boys molested his daughter for eight months, unknown to them, until the seven-year-old spoke up.
"My daughter said it started in September 2020 till April 2021."
Documents seen by PREMIUM TIMES show that an investigation panel set up at the embassy and another sent to Nigeria by the Liberian ministry of foreign affairs found the boys culpable.
According to the documents, the first incident happened after a certain birthday party in the embassy's premises.
"After the party, it began to rain and the 13-year-old was returning the chairs in the Banquet Hall among other children from the staff quarters. She decided to come home, and when she got near the hall, he (13 year old) called her. When she got to him, he told her to take off her clothes. She asked him why, but he said, just take off your clothes. According to her, he succeeded in taking off her clothes and abusing her," she narrated to the investigation panel.
The seven-year-old was asked to describe what was done to her but she said she didn't know how he did it but something was done behind her, and the result is painful.
On another occasion, he ran behind her for a similar act but she escaped. The seven-year-old told the investigation panel that she confided in two of her sisters when the incidents occurred.
When the panel questioned the 13-year-old, he corroborated the girl's story until the point where she claimed he had molested her. He insisted he did not touch her until the panel told him the 'sassy woodman' would be in the embassy the next day to help find the truth.
On hearing the sassy woodman was coming, "he finally broke down and narrated that he only remembered one-day last year in his parent's apartment, he was resting on the sofa, when she (seven year old) came into the apartment without a top on, only her skirt. He touched her closely and got turned on, but something said to him, "This is a child, so he changed his mind, but he had never done anything."
Both sisters confirmed that the younger one confided in them but they did not think to tell their parents about it.
One told the panel that she confronted the 13-year-old who begged her and said he was very sorry, and would not repeat it asking her not to let their parents know.
When asked why she did not inform her parents, she said, "the two families are very close, she said she did not want confusion to come between them, so she kept it a secret."
The other said one-day last year while coming downstairs, she met her sister (the seven-year-old) running up the stairs out of breath and asked her what was the problem. She said the 13-year-old was running behind her to "rape" her (the exact words she used). She went running down the stairs to look for him but did not find him.
According to her, she kept to herself because her mother is very 'temperamental' and she did not want any problem between the two families.
Although the investigation team set up by the ambassador, from the document seen by PREMIUM TIMES, did not feature the testimony of the main culprit (14-year-old), it noted that he was also found guilty.
This panel recommended that both boys be sent back to Monrovia to reduce the psychological effect their presence may cause the little girl or her family as the relationship between both families who live adjacent to each other was already strained. This, Mr Bayjay corroborated.
ALSO READ: How I was sexually abused – Rita Edochie"The only thing the Liberian government has done is to send the boys to court in Monrovia after I insisted. They can only be prosecuted by a Liberian court according to international law."
In the report produced by the delegation sent by the Liberian minister of foreign affairs, the guardians of the accused boys acknowledged their wards had committed the hideous act and apologised to Mr Bayjay whose acceptance the report noted was 'mere cosmetic'.
It recommended that "since the interviewed parties all confirmed that the incident took place, it is recommended that the alleged perpetrator. who is a juvenile, be brought before the justice system of the Republic of Liberia."
It also recommended that the two diplomatic staff and their families be re-deployed for other assignments, noting that "this will calm the acrimonious atmosphere of distrust, fear, and divisiveness observed at the embassy."
"I asked the Liberian ministry of the information who is responsible for me to have my family and I reassigned due to the uncomfortable situation and also in line with the recommendation of the investigation report but they have yet to do that," Mr Bayjay told PREMIUM TIMES, corroborating the claims of the report.
Mr Bayjay also accused the Liberian ambassador of taking sides with the family of the boys who abused his daughter. He said he moved out of the embassy's premises with his family on account of the ambassador's 'bias' and how traumatic the environment had become for his daughter.
He said at the time, the ambassador refused to send the boys away because, according to him (the ambassador), he needed a detailed investigation.
However, Mr Bayjay said he informed the ambassador about his intention to leave if the boys were not taken off the premises.
According to Mr Bayjay, when he invited the Nigerian police to question the boys, the ambassador intimidated the police by involving the Inspector General of Police who in turn intervened. The ambassador initially told Mr Bayjay he had no police contacts in Nigeria, the latter said.
The police, however, forwarded a medical report confirming the assault of the seven-year-old.
Mr Bayjay added that the ambassador continued to insist that the second boy was not culpable even when the boy admitted he attempted to have the seven-year-old.
"The ambassador never bothered to check on my child who was abused to see how she was faring," he said.
Recounting how deeply hurt he was, he said, "I was so hurt, I wanted to beat up the boys and the security held me back. I did not want to speak to anyone because I was in a state of temporal insanity.
"The ambassador was blaming my wife for pampering those boys and allowing them access.
"The ambassador did not send the boys back to Liberia until I filed a petition to the Liberian government.
"The Liberian government needs to take full responsibility for this child whose health is declining in the aftermath of the event. She has had to miss out on school since the incident," he said.
Liberian Embassy Abuja responds
The Liberian Ambassador to Nigeria, Al-Hassan Conteh, told PREMIUM TIMES, he could not comment on the case because the case was already in court (sub judice) and he would not want to prejudice the case.
However, he said Mr Bayjay's allegations were untrue.
"It is untrue that the embassy and government of Liberia did nothing about the welfare of the child. That will be inhumane; my only regret is that he has taken this matter to the media because we are diplomats and the whole aspect of diplomacy is conflict prevention."
Although "I can understand as a father, I have three daughters and you know what that entails," adding that "to make those allegations, I will say it is unfortunate but I would out of deference to the court at this particular time, not like to address the details."
"We recommended in our report to the ministry, psychological support for the child, for her to be taken to a safe home," the ambassador said.
Mr Conteh added that he had sent an officer to the new residence of the Bayjays to find out where they live and follow up with certain things but "Mr Bayjay engaged in very acrimonious language, saying I was biased and did not want anything from me."
"The incident did not come to our attention until May this year. As soon as it came to our attention, we immediately held an administrative hearing on the matter involving all sides for three days and the report of that hearing was transmitted to the ministry of foreign affairs, Liberia,"
According to Mr Conteh, after transmitting the outcome of their investigation to the ministry of foreign affairs in Liberia, the ministry conducted a separate investigation into the matter itself.
"The ministry forwarded the matter to the ministry of justice, Liberia who then forwarded the case to the women and child support unit of the Liberian National Police who in turn dispatched the case to the juvenile court of Liberia where the case is currently."
He also said that he did not prevent the Nigerian police from speaking with the boys.
He said two police officers were at the embassy one evening to serve a letter of invitation to the guardian of the boys when he (ambassador) invited them (police officers) to his office, reminding them that diplomats in their residence under international laws are inviolable.
After conversing with the officers and letting them know that the letter would have come through the office of the ambassador, they agreed on a time for the diplomat to come to the station the next day.
"I have never met the Inspector General of Police, I have never met him," Mr Conteh said.
Seeking justice for his seven-year-old
Mr Bayjay in the last two months left his posting to return to Liberia to see that his child gets justice.
"The case is now in court after my insistence but I'm restricted financially to follow the case up."
He said the case is before a juvenile court in Monrovia, and he wants to hire a lawyer "that will be able to convince the court that this is a real adult trial because, in my mind, these boys showed proof of emancipated minors (behaving like adults and should be tried as such)".
He was displeased that the boys were still allowed to roam freely instead of being remanded in a juvenile home, but the court in Monrovia says it has no juvenile homes to keep the boys.
"If I had money, those boys will be behind bars while the case is going on."
"My major concern is that the government takes responsibility for my daughter's health. You and I know that litigation takes two to three years, so my daughter's health has to remain the same until two to three years?"
He lamented how he is unable to pay for her routine medical check-up amongst other things.
Mr Bayjay likened his family's ordeal to that of a soldier fighting for their country.
"It's like a soldier got wounded fighting for his country on the battlefield and is abandoned," he said.


Ghanaian 200m and 400m specialist Emmanuel Dasor has set a new 200m indoor at Music City Challenge.
The Western Kentucky University student clocked 21.17sec to win the race ahead of his school teammate Morris Julius and Rocha Rodrigo of Miss State.
The former T. I. Amass student captured the headlines last year after running the fastest time by a Ghanaian in the 400m in 19 years with a 46.58s(PB) clocking at the Hilltopper Relays in the USA.
Dasor is a 2015 All Africa Games 4x100m relay bronze medalist.

When I was in high school, I spent some time on the technical crews of a few of our theatre productions. At the beginning of my first year of classes there, a several-years-long renovation of the school's performing arts facilities was completed, which meant that suddenly we had access to a world-class theatre in which to perform. The theatre came complete with two balconies, a band pit elevator and a fly system that could compete with a lot of professional facilities. A fly system is the rigging from which the stage lights, curtains and in some cases props and sets are hung. They can be raised and lowered by ropes that run down the length of one of the theatre's walls, and they're operated by a fly crew during performances. Thinking about my time working the flies brings double acting cylinders to mind.
This may come as a surprise to you, but the backstage area in a theatre can be a little dangerous, and the safety of the working area depends in large part on the competence of the people with their hands on the fly ropes. It's not hard to understand this if you consider that a given light fixture can weigh 20 pounds or so, and it's not uncommon for 20 or so of them to be affixed to a single rail during a performance. If the hangings were counterweighed improperly, or if a stagehand mishandled the rigging, all of that weight could come crashing down on top of actors, props and scenery. And let's not even get started on the potential for rope burns. A safe, well-run performance has to be precise and meticulously planned. I can remember thinking on more than one occasion how much easier things might have been if they could automate, or at least mechanize, all of those backstage processes.

I thought of double acting cylinders, not because of their real practicality in this kind of situation, but because they accomplish the same purpose as a fly suspension rig. Just for the sake of demonstration, let's review what double acting cylinders are and what they do.
Image courtesy of Parker Hannifin Pneumatics.
Diagram of a double acting cylinder.
What makes this kind of cylinder a double acting cylinder is that there's another intake/outtake port on the other side of the piston. Pressurized air controlled by another source is simultaneously directed into the cylinder from both directions, and the differential pressure influences the positioning of the piston.
Changes in pressure influence rod position.
If the pressure on the left side of the piston was relieved, and if the pressure on the right side were increased, the piston would move in the other direction, in turn moving the cylinder rod and whatever load is attached to it. I can't help thinking that this model would have been ideal for the fly operation in the theatre (I'm aware of the obvious reasons why it really isn't, and I'll get to those.
What's great about this design is that the movement of the attached load can be carefully and precisely controlled because of the variable pressures that can be applied on either end of the piston. If the pressure on one end is gradually decreased while the pressure on the other end is gradually increased, the movement of the load could be slow and fluid. A fly system is a system of weights and counter weights; depending on how much is hung from a given rail, it's counter-weighted so that it's easier to manage. If it were possible to rig up an enormous double acting cylinder instead of the rope system, the right balance of pressurized air could be used to position the load, eliminating the need for counter weights, guaranteeing fluidity of motion and taking rope burns out of the equation.
Unfortunately, this is nothing but a pipe dream (or maybe cylinder dream). In reality, air cylinders typically don't get much larger than a few feet in length, and in a lot of cases they can be shorter than one foot. They're used for the positioning of small components in equipment, in robotics, in manufacturing and in a large variety of other contexts. This isn't to say that even small air cylinders aren't capable of generating considerable force of motion, but I doubt that it would be possible to create a double acting cylinder large enough for the purposes of raising and lowering things backstage. Despite this disappointing reality, double acting cylinders play an undeniably important role in industry, and that's not going to change.

Drawn to the Deep End
Drawn to the Deep End Review
by Jack Rabid
As if miffed by the flood of Smiths comparisons their otherwise brilliant debut Olympia garnered, London's Gene call out the dogs, stiffening and toughening their sound for an even more spectacular and far more singular follow-up, the early favorite for 1997's LP of the year. Without changing their style, Drawn to the Deep End expands on it, determined to stretch their boundaries while digging in harder (hiring the ADAM & THE ANTS' old post-punk producer CHRIS HUGHES pays off big time). Right from the emotional rollercoaster of "New Amusements," which goes through several seamless changes (including a brooding piano solo and a vibrating, closing guitar trill riff), anchored by MARTIN ROSSITER's desolate, yearning, guttural vocal, Gene bang you over the head where once they tickled your toes. The smashing, pre-LP single "Fighting Fit" was the hint. It's set to an insistent soul beat that recalls the verses of Smokey Robinson's "Tears of a Clown," dominated by the clap and clamor of STEVE MASON's dazzlingly deceptive guitar work. Drawn then settles in to more contemplative territory (with the exception of the also harried, overloaded "Voice of Your Father," which recalls the breathless rush of their 1994 b-side "This is Not My Crime"), without ever letting go of the monumental forward thrust and edge. "Save Me I'm Yours" and "The Accidental" (featuring a surprising, terrific, guest female vocal solo) are the most touching tracks, so hushed and melancholic yet sweet, they make you fight back tears, a feeling that lurks throughout as Drawn burbles on. There're plenty of other heart tuggers, such as "Where Are They Now," where Rossiter employs a typically mercurial metaphor, comparing being lovelorn and left behind to being "incapable of breathing," over another pulsing, thunder clap pang of Mason and pals. Yow! So much for apathy rock. And never mind heart tugging, there's a passage in "Speak to Me Someone" (which was previewed on Gene's 1995 U.S. tour) that is out-of-the-blue heart stopping, one of those musical moments that makes the room freeze: a simple, screamed "no!!!!" seems to have been pulled by forceps out of Rossiter's lungs, up his windpipe, out through his mouth as if he's been shot. It's clear that the Rossiter/Mason combo is lethal dynamite, and in bassist MILES and JAMES they've got a dynamic rhythm section to make mountains out of molehills. Drawn to the Deep End, as its title implies, is an emotional onslaught, a flood of raw, unfettered, and unfiltered human feeling, an exquisite ebb and flow of earthquakes and temporary serenity. A total, total knockout.

Body of Missing Virginia Hiker Found in California
By Jocelyn Gecker
Chelly Dao via AP
This July 4, 2018, photo provided by a family member shows hiker Ling Dao outside the Ashby Inn & Restaurant in Paris, Va.
The body of a 41-year-old hiker from Virginia was found on Mount Whitney after a three-day search in snowy, icy terrain of California's tallest peak, authorities said Wednesday.
An air search located the body of Ling Dao on the north side of the 14,505-foot mountain in Sequoia National Park, according to a statement from the Inyo County Sheriff's Office.
"What helped to locate him was his bright orange jacket," which was spotted from the search helicopter, said Sintia Kawasaki-Yee, spokeswoman for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
Dao was last seen alive at the summit by other hikers June 12, who informed authorities of the location which ultimately led them to his body about 1,900 feet from the summit at an altitude of about 12,600 feet, Kawasaki-Yee said.
Family members described Dao as an accomplished hiker who loved outdoor sports and regularly ran marathons. He had attempted to climb Mount Whitney last June with his two brothers but the group only made it halfway up, and he had been determined to reach the top ever since, said his sister Kimmai Dao, 36.
Dao set out on an ambitious travel schedule, flying into Las Vegas on June 11 with plans to climb Mount Whitney in a one-day solo hike on June 12 and then take a night flight back and return to work the next morning, according to his family and authorities.
Dao's colleagues in Virginia contacted authorities when he did not show up for work on June 13.
Authorities Search Calif. Mountain for Missing Virginia Man
The family has expressed dismay that the search for Dao was delayed by a mix-up with his rental car company which initially told the sheriff's office he returned the vehicle June 14, which they later changed to June 15 — but that wasn't the case.
The vehicle was located June 15 at a campground parking area, and a search was launched the next day.
Dao's body was turned over to coroners who will determine the cause of death.
Authorities said they don't yet know if Dao's death was related to weather but said in a statement that back-country conditions can be hazardous this time of year with snow instability, ice and rocks slides.


Inside the beautiful new contemporary wing of the internationally renowned, Corning Museum of Glass.
When I visited Corning, the first thing I did was attend the opening event for the Corning Museum of Glass's new contemporary wing. It was such a festive event with hundreds of people gathered, waiting for the first look of the beautiful new 100,000 sq. foot wing. Not only is this museum dedicated to showing off glass through history and science, it can now brilliantly house new artistic pieces for the world to admire. I could feel the extreme excitement from everyone involved. This project became such a uplifting space. It's inspiring, filled with light and clean lines. Inside the new wing, a state-of-the-art hot shop has been created. I had the pleasure of watching a live demonstration twice! One during the day, and one with a DJ on set giving off great vibes.
Thanks to CMOG for inviting me to the launch event! I left completely fascinated by the history and science of glass-making. From the things early civilizations were able to create, to the new scientific developments for modern usage, the whole experience was so fun.
P.S. I made my own glass flower at the workshop!
Wow – these photos are amazing! I love your glass flower by the way, it's so gorgeous.

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet To Introduce Gay Marriage Bill Next Week
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet is expected next week to introduced a bill that extends marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples in the South American country.
According to Chilean LGBT rights advocate the Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation, Bachelet will introduce the bill on Monday, August 28.
Bachelet in 2015 signed a bill that recognizes gay couples with civil unions. Many supporters were disappointed that she did not push for equal marriage rights for gay couples, as she had pledged to do during her election campaign. The Bachelet administration in 2016 reached an agreement with the Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation to introduce marriage equality after the group filed a lawsuit with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on behalf of three gay couples who are seeking to marry in Chile.
On January 20, Bachelet announced that her government had started a process to introduce such a bill, which she promised to send to Congress before the end of June.
"The process will allow the country to generate a satisfactory bill on marriage equality, recognizing the same rights for everyone," she said at the time.
While polls show that a majority (64%) of Chileans support marriage equality, conservative groups and the majority Roman Catholic church strongly oppose such unions.

Q: Flutter with Firebase using Sendgrid extension- Attachments are broken I'm trying to send an email with an image attachment, using Firestore with the Trigger Email Sendgrid extension found here.
Flutter code:
await db.collection('mail').add({
  'from': 'xxx@yyy.com',
  'to': email.to,
  'message': {
    'subject': email.subject,
    'html': '',
  },
  'attachments': [
    {
      'filename': "qr.jpeg",
      'content': email.image, //Base 64 string
      'content_id': "qr",
      "type": "image/jpeg",
      "disposition": "inline",
    }
  ]
});

image is:
data:image/jpeg;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAZAAAAGQCAYAAACAvzbMAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6...more encoding

On the database side everything seems fine:

Checking Gmail I'm getting a broken image:

I have checked on Mailinator as well, same result. I've seen very little documentation on this and would appreciate any help on the matter.
Update :
I dropped the metadata.
Base64:
email.image = "[encoded data, 4416 characters]"

Update 2
Generating base64:
I'm using the Screenshot flutter package to capture the qr image.
 void didChangeDependencies() {
   super.didChangeDependencies();
  _captureAndSaveQRCode();
 }

Future<void> _captureAndSaveQRCode() async {
final image = await _screenshotController.capture();
var base64 = base64Encode(image!);
if (_emailSender != null) {
  await _emailSender!.sendEmail(
    Email(
        to: widget.data.userData.email,
        subject: 'Qr Code',
        body:'Hello',
        image: base64),
  );
}

}
And the widget:
   Screenshot(
            controller: _screenshotController,
            key: _renderObjectKey,
            child: QrImage(
              data: widget.data.userData.phoneNumber,
              size: 200,
            ),
          ),

A: When you send an attachment in an email with SendGrid, the content of the attachment should just be the base 64 encoded string of the contents of the file. It should not be a data URL.
So just use:
email.image = "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAZAAAAGQCAYAAACAvzbMAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6...more encoding"

without the data:image/jpeg;base64, part.
Edit
Looked into this further and, first I need to just clear one thing up. The Firebase Trigger Email extension is a Firebase written, SMTP based extension. It is not specific to SendGrid, but can be used with SendGrid to send emails. It can also be used with other providers. The email format that you need to use in the Firebase document is generic and does not match the SendGrid email documentation.
That being said, it was not straightforward to track down how an attachment should be added to the document in order to send it successfully with SendGrid. I did find it though, and here is the document that I added to my collection that successfully sent the QR code as an email through SendGrid:
await db.collection('mail').add({
  'from': 'xxx@yyy.com',
  'to': email.to,
  'message': {
    'subject': email.subject,
    'html': '',
    'attachments': [
      {

In the wake of an election seen by many as a triumphant victory for "moral values," political commentator and one-time seminarian Bill Press launches a counteroffensive against the so-called religious right. For decades, Press argues, conservative preachers such as Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and James Dobson--joined by most Catholic bishops--have defined religion so narrowly that Democrats and liberals have been pushed outside the fold. According to their narrow gospel, God put George Bush in the White House to deal with gays, guns, and abortion--and those who don't agree are on the sure road to hell. Bill Press says it's time to take religion back: "Who gave this gang the inside track on religion, anyway? The way I read the Gospels, Jesus was as liberal as Paul Wellstone. He sure as hell wouldn't have been a registered Republican. One other thing's for sure: if Jesus ever came back to earth, there's one gang he wouldn't hang out with; and that's this phony bunch of pious, puffed-up preachers who wear religion on their sleeves." How the Republicans Stole Christmasis also Press's fervent call to Democrats and liberals to reclaim religion and return it to its basic principles of social justice, charity, and tolerance. Press argues that the Right didn't just steal religion, the Left let them have it, offering no resistance as conservatives dictated what's right and what's wrong. But on today's social issues, according to Press, religious conservatives have gotten it all wrong. They have turned Jesus from a loving Messiah who championed the poor and dispossessed into a cold-blooded advocate for the rich and powerful. Press does not confine his criticisms to so-called Christian leaders; he uncovers the same wrong-headed tendencies in other faiths and among nonbelievers, who even today cling to the Old Testament as an appropriate code of behavior.

Burnham Holdings' History with Asbestos
In addition to boilers and boiler insulation, Burnham Commercial manufactured and produced a number of asbestos-containing products, including fire-retardant bricks, gaskets and pipe insulation.
Adding asbestos fibers to the components made them more durable and resistant to heat and fire. Unfortunately, it also made them dangerous. Anyone who worked with Burnham Commercial's boilers until the 1980s could be at risk of developing an asbestos-related disease such as mesothelioma.
Until the late 1980s, boilers contained a number of asbestos-containing products, including insulation around the boiler's walls, tube banks and internal pipes, gaskets, bearings to paste lagging or even raw asbestos.
These materials remain in many commercial, residential and industrial buildings as well as ships built before 1975. Disturbing asbestos-containing parts on these boilers can lead to asbestos exposure.
Asbestos-related personal injury claims have been filed by individuals that were exposed to asbestos from Burnham Holdings products, more specifically, products from its Burnham Commercial facilities.
Unlike many companies that manufactured asbestos-containing products, Burnham has not created a bankruptcy trust for asbestos claims. Instead, the company has decided to continue to defend itself in court.

Asbestos Litigation Involving Burnham Holdings
Burnham has been asked to pay millions of dollars in asbestos claims. Because of the long latency period of asbestos-related conditions, between 20 to 60 years, the company expects more lawsuits in the future.
According to Burnham Holdings' 2020 financial report, charges for uninsured litigation were $383,000 and expenses for legal counsel, consultants and other costs to defend claims (including asbestos claims) was $104,000.
In the company's 2018 financial report, uninsured litigation cost them $1.25 million and they paid $187,000 to defend claims.
The company says it believes the vast majority of future asbestos claims should be resolved within existing insurance limits and reserves — whether it be through trial verdicts or out-of-court settlements.
However, Burnham Holdings officials did note that asbestos litigation involves many uncertainties and the company cannot predict the extent to which new claims will be filed or the financial impact it may have on the business.
Case of Five Plaintiffs Exposed to Asbestos
In July 2013, a New York jury awarded $190 million in an asbestos-related lawsuit involving Burnham Commercial. Five plaintiffs were exposed to asbestos while working in the plumbing, steamfitting and construction industries and developed mesothelioma as a result of their exposure.
One plaintiff handled and demolished boilers with asbestos-containing components throughout his career. Another plaintiff, a steamfitter, handled boilers containing asbestos.
A third plaintiff, a pipefitter, worked at New York's Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1951 and 1966 and was exposed while handling pipes of distillers that processed saltwater. The other two plaintiffs were plumbers who handled boilers and pipes covered in asbestos.
Burnham Commercial's monetary obligations for the five lawsuits totaled $42.2 million, or 21.2% of the total damages awarded. However, the company filed post-trial motions and appeals seeking to reduce or overturn the verdicts.
On February 9, 2015, New York Supreme Court Judge Joan Madden ruled that all five damage awards "deviate from reasonable compensation," and significantly reduced Burnham Commercial's liability to less than $7 million.
Case of Steamfitter Charles Hillyer
In 2014, a separate lawsuit returned a $6 million verdict against the company, but that too was later reduced by an appeals court to less than $2 million. The plaintiff in that case, Charles Hillyer, allegedly developed mesothelioma from asbestos exposure while working as a steamfitter from 1960 to 1983.
Hillyer testified he had been exposed to asbestos insulation on boilers, including those made by Burnham Commercial. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in March 2013 and died in September 2014. Hillyer's family took over the lawsuit after his death.
In Hillyer's case, New York judge Cynthia Kern ruled the $20 million award for past pain and suffering against Burnham and several other boiler manufacturers "deviates materially from what would be reasonable." The total award was reduced to $6 million, with Burnham's liability reduced to $2 million.

Burnham Holdings History
Burnham Commercial traces its origins to the mid-1880s when Frederick A. Lord founded a New York-based greenhouse manufacturer, then named Lord's Horticultural Manufacturing Company. In 1872, Lord's son-in-law, William Burnham, joined the company to help make greenhouses for large estates in upstate New York.
Shortly after, the greenhouse industry was in need of a solution to provide adjustable and evenly distributed heat to large areas, which motivated the company to make its first cast iron boiler. Lord's Horticultural Manufacturing Company later became known as the Lord & Burnham Company.
In 1905, it merged with the Pierson-Sefton Company and the Hitchings Company, which specialized in manufacturing heating systems and ventilating systems for greenhouses, to form the Burnham-Pierson-Sefton Corporation.
Following growth and acquisitions, the Burnham Boiler Company was established in 1919 and took over the boiler business from Lord & Burnham Company and its affiliated companies. The company was renamed Burnham Corporation and is currently referred to as Burnham Commercial, and it is owned by Burnham Holdings.
Today, headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Burnham Commercial continues to produce steam and hot water boilers for commercial and industrial applications, although asbestos is no longer added to components. The company's products are sold in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and are used throughout schools, government buildings, places of worship and historical sites.

The pots have been confirmed for the UEFA EURO 2020 qualifying draw, which takes place in Dublin, streamed live at 12CET on Sunday 2 December.
How were the pots formed?
All the teams involved in the UEFA Nations League were classified from 1-55 following the conclusion of the League Phase. Individual league rankings were established according to their position in a group, points gained, goal difference, goals scored etc. (see 18.01 of regulations for full criteria), with the 12 League A teams ranked 1st to 12th, the 12 League B teams 13th to 24th and so on.
Full draw explanation, including various restrictions not mentioned below, can be found here.
The four teams in the UEFA Nations League pot will be drawn into first position in Groups A to D. This is to ensure they have two dates free to play the UEFA Nations League Finals in June.
The teams in Pot 1 will then be drawn into first position in Groups E to J. The teams in Pot 2 will be drawn into second positions in the ten groups, with the draw continuing in similar style for Pots 3, 4 and 5 to fill positions 3, 4 and 5 respectively. The teams in Pot 6 will be drawn into sixth position in the six-team Groups F to J.
The top two teams in each of the ten groups will automatically qualify for UEFA EURO 2020. The remaining four berths will be filled by the play-offs, which are contested by the 16 UEFA Nations League group winners (i.e. the four group winners in each of the four divisions) or the next best-ranked team in their league.
If a league does not have four teams to compete, the remaining slots are allocated to teams from another league, according to the overall UEFA Nations League rankings.
Where do the play-offs fit in?

Does anyone know if you can interchange a 5.7 harness and engine fuse block with any other makes? Ive been trying to get these parts but no one in the country has anything from an 85- fullsize to an 87 fullsize. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions i would great appreciate it.
Kind of a broad question... What's wrong with your current harness that makes you want to replace it? If you cannot source proper used harnesses local to you, it may be easier to manually repair your current harness as opposed to trying to find one from another application as pretty much any other harness from a different application will require alteration to work properly.
This is a few days old, but maybe it will help you, or someone else.
I've used American Autowire harnesses. They are everything they claim to be.
Last one I did was for a 1972 C20, and after yanking all the wiring out, installing new fuse block, body/cab/bed/engine module harnesses, it worked on the first try (make sure your fuel is still good, if your project has been sitting for a while!). I was impressed. There is a skillset to build, if you're not familiar with PROPER splicing techniques, and you will have to cut out a larger firewall hole for the new fuse block. Take your time, follow direction and they will not only answer the phone, but guide you through any trouble spots. I can't say enough how awesome that harness turned out!

Change-fee waiver extended as Paris flights continue
Delta flights to and from Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris are expected to be routine Monday. An extended change-fee waiver for customers who wish to make adjustments to their itineraries has been issued covering customers ticketed through Nov. 22.
Delta is closely monitoring conditions in Paris in concert with aviation stakeholders, law enforcement agencies and other government entities, just like it does at locations across its global network. As one way of reinforcing the safety and security of its customers, employees and assets as its top priority, Delta maintains many security practices - both seen and unseen - on the ground and during flight.
12:30 p.m. Saturday
All Delta flights between the U.S. and Paris are scheduled to operate today.
All flights scheduled to operate from Paris to the U.S. had departed as of noon ET. Many of today's Paris flights incurred departure delays waiting for passengers who passed through additional layers of screening in security lines. No additional delays are expected.
Delta and its joint venture airline partners, Air France and KLM, have recently updated their advisories extending the dates and markets for customers who need to adjust travel to, from or through France.
Previous updates:
8:30 a.m. Saturday
All Delta flights scheduled to operate from Paris to the U.S. have departed as of 8 a.m. Saturday.
A handful of these flights have seen departure delays, up to one hour, waiting for passengers delayed in security lines.
Delta and its joint venture partner airlines, Air France and KLM, have issued advisories for customers who need to adjust Paris-related travel.
Unless there are any additional changes to Delta's scheduled flight operations, the next operational update will be issued at noon Saturday.
8:30 p.m. Friday
All Delta flights scheduled to operate between the U.S. and Paris are continuing as scheduled, as of 8 p.m. ET.
Delta's Operations team continues to monitor the situation and will update crews and customers in the event of any adjustments to scheduled flights.


Shallotte Point Acreage – This 10 acre tract (approximately) on Pigott Road has tremendous development potential.
It currently has an older mobile home in as-is condition on the front of the property but with over 150′ frontage on Pigott Road and over 2300′ frontage along the east side of the property on Russell Road it would be an ideal tract for homesites.
This land is very near the Shallotte River and the Intracoastal Waterway and only a short drive to beach. The exact acreage is subject to survey and the Sellers are extremely motivated.
This is part of a 12.35 acre tract. Great opportunity.

Home Invest The ultra-rich want to make money through good causes — but there aren't enough options, UBS says
The ultra-rich want to make money through good causes — but there aren't enough options, UBS says
The super wealthy want more out of their investments these days.
div > div.group > p:first-child">
In addition to financial returns, they want their money to drive positive changes in the world, but the options for achieving both concurrently is lacking, according to a UBS expert.
The Swiss bank, the largest wealth manager globally, was referring to a money-making discipline known as sustainable investing. That's an umbrella term for investing in financial instruments that generate returns from doing good — or simply supporting something that's not doing bad.
But many of the available investment products marketed as being socially responsible or sustainable simply leave out financially risky companies or firms deemed to be in the business of "vices" — a method that doesn't resonate with all investors, said Simon Smiles, chief investment officer for ultra-high net worth at UBS Wealth Management.
"It may turn out that you don't want to invest in tobacco, firearms and alcohol, and so you don't do that. But to assume that everyone has that same value is inherently problematic," Smiles told CNBC in March.
"Some people like drinking alcohol, some people like smoking, some people like guns, so to tell investors they shouldn't be doing it because it's wrong, you're straightaway not aligning with their values. (But) that's the way a vast majority of sustainable investing products have been positioned," he explained.
Instead of avoiding "bad" companies and investing only in firms with good credit ratings, super wealthy individuals want their portfolios to reflect what they believe in, said Smiles.
That means building a whole portfolio with investments that best represent their views on the world, he added. For example, investors who want a part in driving global development could choose bonds issued by institutions such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, and those passionate about green efforts could invest in debt instruments that use proceeds to finance activities benefiting the environment.
"A vast proportion of opportunities across the industry focus on specific equities, specific funds, specific ETFs rather than thinking of it in a portfolio context," the CIO said, explaining that clients aren't interested in strategies that exclude kinds of products from a portfolio or pick out single equities in a "piecemeal" fashion.
"Instead, the conversation's more about: How do you ingrain sustainability in a coherent way across the entire portfolio?" he added.
The mismatch between what's available in the market and what super-rich individuals want is one reason why sustainable investment makes up a "still small" proportion in their portfolios, said Smiles.
That's despite the overall growth seen in sustainable investment. The latest biennial report by the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance published last year found that globally, the strategy grew 25 percent between 2014 and 2016 to $22.89 trillion. That's around 26.3 percent of total assets under management.
At the same time, the super-wealthy are still holding onto large amounts of cash — a situation that hasn't changed much since the last global financial crisis, the CIO noted. A UBS survey last year found ultra-high net worth investors — those with at least $30 million in investible assets — allocate as much as 35 percent of their portfolios to cash.
He added that UBS has been advising clients to invest some of that cash, especially now that the environment is still favorable for "risk assets" such as stocks.
"But clients still, on average, hold more cash than what we'd recommend from an investment perspective," Smiles said. "The memory of (global financial crisis) is still fresh enough for people to value significant cash balances more."

To "contain the wage bill", that vile beast that stalks the Agency, management doesn't step back from its original goal: €14 million in savings. But it changes how it plans to get there.
It abandons its initial target of 125 net job cuts (160 voluntary departures and 35 new hires) over five years for a new target of 95 net job cuts (125 voluntary departures and 30 new hires). Is this a concession. No, not in any way. As to make up the financial lost ground management intends to cut back the expatriate network. Their proposal is to switch 15 expatriate posts to local status (with lesser benefits) that are less costly to the Agency.
So management has gone from cutting off two hands to proposing severing one hand and one foot. Very generous indeed! No trade union can be satisfied with this new cost-savings strategy that will take the electric trimmer to an expatriate network (currently 175 posts) that has already been cut back in recent years, further limiting the mobility of journalists.
On top of this sacrifice add management's refusal to increase wages in 2019 in order to award bonuses to a chosen few. After six years of having our salaries eroded by inflation, management has admitted in annual wage talks that it has no plans to raise our wages in the coming five years!
Journalists : 47 non-replacements in 2019-2020 (32 HQ status and 15 local) and the creation of 24 new posts.
Technical and administrative staff: 60 non-replacements in 2019-2020 (55 HQ status and 5 local) and the creation of 6 new posts. In addition, 18 jobs that open up in 2021-2023 will not be filled.
Management wants a forced march of negotiations to reach an accord by the summer of 2019. SUD will strive to defend the Agency's public interest mission and those who remain to achieve it.
For SUD, one job cut is one too many!


Everything is perfect in the town of Peaceville. That is until Roy and Al Flush come to town. Their plan is to transform the small pleasant village into a den of iniquity complete with casinos, check cashing outlets, strip clubs and all the various vices that accompany such institutions. Together with corrupt and befuddled Town Mayor Grabsome Graft, they set out to do just that with only our delicate heroine Henrietta Heart left to stand in their way. Enter our hero Dan Diamond a member of Citizens Rallied Against Organized Gambling or C.R.A.O.G. Together the virtuous pair set out to stop the dangerous threat to Peaceville and drive the wicked pair out of the territory for good. Will they be successful? Only time will tell.
