ThinkPad T520/W520, NVIDIA, Wide Gamuts, and You!
Update: Linking to a better color profile below.
Update 2: I narrowed down the ACPI issues, and have a better solution.
I recently purchased a brand new, maxed out ThinkPad T520. My old laptop was 4 years old, and while I absolutely loved it (and still do!), an opportunity came up to get a T520 with a nice discount. So I took advantage of that. I like large screen resolutions, as I tend to have a few thousand windows on screen at any given point in time, so I went with the 1920×1080 option, and put Ubuntu Linux on it.
And let me tell you, for an Ubuntu-certified laptop, it sure didn't work out of the box.
It took a lot of effort to get Ubuntu working, due to some hardware problems. The biggest issue was the display adapter. The T520/W520 (and I believe the T420, etc.) come with two graphics chipsets: An Intel something-or-other, and an NVidia 4200M. By default, this is in "Optimus" mode, meaning that the OS can essentially switch between the cards for performance/power savings reasons, depending on use.
Not surprisingly, this does not work on Linux.
Your system will try to use the Intel card. You won't have any 3D, and try as you might, that NVIDIA card just will not work. It's maddening, but there's a solution. One with its own set of problems, but at least it gets you there..
The trick, it turns out, is to go into the BIOS, go into the video settings, and switch to "Discrete Graphics" and disable auto-detection of Optimus. Once you do this, your NVIDIA card will work! You'll get 3D, and it'll be fast and smooth and so wonderful.
If you can boot, that is.
Once I switched over, I found I could no longer boot. Now this was 4:30 in the morning and my brain stopped functioning, so I wasn't making all the connections. All I know is that booting locked up, and when I went into recovery mode, I started seeing I/O errors on my brand new 160GB SSD. Figuring it was just my luck, I decided I'd call Lenovo in the morning and get a new one. If this sounds at all familiar, stay calm! It's not your SSD, and your system is not hosed. It's ACPI.
Update: I previously said that passing acpi=off in grub would fix things. That disabled battery and other stuff, though. The new solution below is far better. Suspend/resume and brightness work!
Unfortunately, you won't get Suspend/Resume, and I think the battery monitor is busted, but you'll get Hibernate. It'll mostly work. Sometimes. It's Linux, afterall.
Once you have a working X/Unity/Compiz/3D/Minecraft setup working, you may notice some problems with colors….
The T520/W520/T420/etc. line of ThinkPads have a new 95% Wide Gamut LED display. It makes everything all bright and nice. And it butchers your colors.
Applications that support color management should in theory compensate for this. Not all apps do, though. What bothered me was my web browsing experience. Every color was broken, and as someone who writes webapps, I needed accurate colors. I was about to throw out this laptop before I managed to figure out a solution.
And here, I the Color Profiles applet was causing problems, and I couldn't directly use it, so I installed dispcalGUI, which allowed me to load in a profile and install it into Color Profiles, and activate it.
On some site, I found a working color profile (ICM file). I don't know where I originally found it, but you can download it here. Note that this is only tested on my 1920×1080 display, so YMMV.
I'm not confident that this profile is 100% correct, but it's close. At least as far as I can tell.
You're free to try that profile, but I found a better one which preserves the crispness of the display with the actual accuracy you'd want on the web. WordPress is even looking correct now.
NotebookCheck's review of the ThinkPad W520 links to a color profile that works much better.
Now, you'll still notice problems with Firefox and Google Chrome. Chrome doesn't seem to understand color profiles, but Firefox does. You just have to tweak it.
In Firefox, go to about:config. In there, search for gfx.color_management. Set gfx.color_management.mode to 1, and then set gfx.color_management.display_profile to the path of that ThinkPad ICM file I linked to earlier.
Restart Firefox. You should now see more or less correct colors!
Now it's not perfect. The ThinkPad screen is very bright, and some things can get a bit washed out and perhaps slightly tinted. As I type this, I'm noticing that the WordPress UI is a bit off, and things blend together more than they should (lots of light grays on a bright screen). But it should be much better than it was!
If you use a T520/W520/T420/etc. and have other solutions or tips for color management on Linux, I'd love to hear about them! And hopefully this saved someone else hours or days of rage.

it should be noted that the the T520 is certified for "pre-install only". This certification means that Canonical has worked with Lenovo to provide a custom pre-install image of Ubuntu for use in pre-installed sales of the laptop. The certification is not for stock Ubuntu that you can install yourself from public Ubuntu releases. Lenovo has chosen not to make that pre-install image available globally. When using Canonical certified hardware database you have to make sure you read the caveats. Not all of the "Ubuntu certified" hardware is expected to work with the public Ubuntu releases.
not sure why you'd have no 3D with the intel graphics, the 3d driver should work fine.
really optimus laptops are avoid at all costs for Linux, the manufacturers don't care, and I haven't seen Canonical throw development resources at fixing it.
You'll notice if running the intel you can't access the digital outputs, at least with the Lenovo laptops you can still access the panel from the nvidia, one other optimus systems you can't even do that.
btw turning off acpi is probably going to make your laptop die on its as overheating.
I'm sure if I poked at it enough, I'd get 3D working. Out of the box, it didn't work. I was more focused on getting the nvidia drivers working.
I've been paying close attention to the temperature sensors since setting this up. Seems safe so far, and the heat output has been minimal. Of course I'd ideally re-enable acpi, but that's not an option as of right now.
You may want to join the Linux Thinkpad mailing list to learn from the experience and expertise of others, including folks who write the code that allows Thinkpads to work on Linux.
Hey, I've been thinking of upgrading my 5yo Toshiba laptop to a T520. So now I'm all ears for posts like this one. Especially since anything over the lowest resolution seems to come with that optimus thing. Thanks for sharing your experience.
As for the Optimus technology – my personal impression of it is that it's a pain in the neck. Last statement from Nvidia I found was that they have pledged themselves to not provide linux support for this thingie. Some community effort can be found here and there, but thanks to limitations in x.org no chance for seamless switching between the two cards.
How would you suggest finding color profiles for laptops, for people who don't have color-calibration equipment themselves? Search seems remarkably unhelpful, and gnome-color-manager doesn't seem to include any built-in color profiles. Does a database exist somewhere? Could gnome-color-manager ship with one?
@Kamil: That's what I was doing previously, but the colors were still so wrong that I was ready to send this back. I do graphics/web work as part of the projects I run, and needed more accurate colors than I could hope to get with gamma or digital vibrance correction. The color profile was the only solution that would work. Makes a world of difference! I don't even need to touch the gamma now.
Wide gamut monitors bend the colour primaries in a strong way to cover a larger colour space. Thus uncorrected colours look most often very strange. For instance red turns purple. The old style per channel gamma table calibration through VCGT is not sufficient as it can not compensate for the effect of changed primaries or saturation. The only solution for the Linux desktop is currently the CompICC compicc.sf.net Compiz-0.8.x plugin. It uses Oyranos and lcms for doing proper colour correction on the GPU.
Thank you so much for posting this. I nearly switched back to Windows because of the color issue.
Thanks man, I am really struggling with this laptop and linux, ordering the FHD display was an error, the text is too small for my eyes, this tip has helped greatly!
I also have a new T520 with 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 on it and the 1600×900 display. Most works fine – I currently run nvidia discrete graphics, have compiz 3d effects and colors look good.
But whether using the VGA or the Display Port, I can't get the second monitor to appear. I'd gladly give up 3d if that's what's needed, as I use this machine primarily for work. (It would be sad to lose Rotate Cube, but so it goes.) Using the nvidia-settings app, I've tried running as separate X-windows with xinerama and with Twinview. I actually got Twinview to work once, but have not been able to recreate that experience. (If I ever get it working again, I'll certainly save the xorg.conf!) Any ideas or pointers gratefully accepted!
In the mean time Bumblebee 3.0 works and you can boot up on Intel while still being able to run specific applications like Google Earth via the nVidia driver.
I'm using it in the beta-1 of Kubuntu 12.04 and it required only one tweak, I had to set AutoAddDevices to true in /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia.
When on mains supply it is easy enough to change the BIOS setting to discrete and then you have all the goodness of nVidia including the option for an external screen.
The Intel option is for one reason only and that's to save battery life, typically a time you don't use an external monitor.
Color management is now also possible using the compiz-cms plugin. It will use the profile selected in gnome color manager as target and sRGB as source.
By default Firefox windows are excluded though, but since the default behavior of FF is to map images with ICC to sRGB, and only those, i guess it should be ok to let compiz-cms map from there to the monitor profile.
Regarding optimus it should be ok to use the intel chip for most desktop needs. The intel driver has gone through several major rewrites to increase performance the last couple of years. The latest iteration of this work, which includes an optional sna-mode that shows some promising results, was just released as version 2.20.

TOO HOT ON THE HOE: For The Big Tea last Saturday. So one of the village's premier events of the year was moved inside to the Village Hall as sun-worshippers sweltered on our big patch of green. A shame really as much work, especially from Sheila and Mel, goes into these entertaining functions which try to keep the old traditions of Piddinghoe alive. Having booked a sunny afternoon for it they could not have envisaged just how much the Mercury would rise but it was a no-brainer to serve the cream teas, cakes, Pimms and Harvey's Ales indoors instead of out. The rival attraction of a classic World Cup match between France and Argentina on TV also impacted on the Big Tea attendance - particularly with the males - but there was still a decent number to enjoy the afternoon, even though it seems certain the jury will soon be out on whether to revert to the old Big Barbecue format a year hence.
THE DON: Is settled now and receiving visitors in his very comfortable quarters at the Alfriston care home which is looking after him since he took ill. Don is, in fact, not very well at all, medically, but those who have called have found him cheerful and bright and enjoying the outlook and the full English breakfasts. He read through the copy of The Villager magazine which was taken to him and then read right through it again. Cricket fan Don is also keeping up with his sport via radio but this doyen of the village who has been a key figure in church matters including the Friends of St John's and the Parish Church Council is much missed in the locality.
NEAT AND TIDY: East Sussex Highways department certainly kept its word about cutting down the high grass a couple of weeks ago. They seem to have made a good job of it, particularly on the big slope falling away from the church where in other seasons of the year beautiful bulbs decorate the vista. Now it is a mass of corn-coloured yellow but very tidy just the same. The ESH cannot promise us another cut until September but, pleasingly, the parish council has decided to finance up to four more before that.
PRESENT AND ERECT: The building site now referred to as The Mauve Room since the 'caring' builders decided to introduce a bit of colour to the centre of the village is making real progress now and must be easing the strain for Mr and Mrs Spence who dream of their new bungalow there (maybe by next spring). Further down the street, the scaffolding and general works surrounding Malthouse are still a huge presence (some may still believe they are erecting Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium there) and look likely to be so for some time, but at the Spence's plot, new services are already being piped in, although to do that they have had to fence off the red telephone box which means nobody can make a call (NB: that last bit is what's called fake news, by the way, as the phone box is now a lending library).
CHURCH SERVICES: Every second Sunday (8am) and every fourth Sunday (9.30am) at St John's, courtesy of Rev Tim and Rev Mary who are gradually seeing an increase in the size of the congregation.
PILATES: Most Saturday mornings in the village hall with Rebecca who runs three hourly sessions there beginning at 8.15am.
INDOOR GAMES: Are available still on Wednesday evenings from 7.30pm in the village hall. All equipment for darts, table tennis, cards and board games are provided free. Just turn up.
ART AND KNITTING: With Jill and her ladies every Thursday afternoon from 2pm in the village hall to escape the World Cup and Wimbledon.
YOGA: With Tim is in the village hall on Thursday evenings from 7.30pm.


A morning rarely dawned so perfect.
I inhaled the brisk air and felt my heart sprint into an enthusiastic rhythm. Though cool, the Colorado sun warmed my back as it rose over the horse farm not far from my house. The slightest breeze danced on my skin. Just enough to keep a runner from overheating, I mused. My ever-faithful jogging partner, a sleek black Labrador named Nika, pranced and pulled, mirroring my eagerness to start our run and embrace the day.
Paws and peds covered the first several blocks with tangible enthusiasm. We raced forward with determination, like Superwoman and Wonder Dog, ready to leap tall buildings and race speeding trains. Convinced of our invincibility, we pushed harder, ran faster, demonstrating our skill and impressing passing motorists and gawking neighbors with our unmatched prowess.
Until we hit "The Beast," my less-than-affectionate name for a massive, nearly two-mile long steep climb.
It's funny how soon I forget the burning pain in my legs and vice-like grip on my chest between running days. Only a few paces into the Beast's incline and it all came back with sudden clarity. I gasped for air, my vision narrowing to tiny pinpoints of light. Far short of superhero status, my enthusiasm and springy steps evaporated, abandoned somewhere at the base of the hill along with my bruised ego. A vision of the newspaper and cup of coffee waiting on my kitchen counter appeared as a glorious beacon, tempting me to relinquish cape and tights and turn back toward home.
With a glance I noticed Wonder Dog wasn't doing any better. Her thick, pink tongue had grown five or six inches. It hung limp out the side of her mouth, leaving a wet trail of drool for the paramedics to follow. She continued to faithfully follow me, putting one paw in front of the other, but without her former eagerness and conviction.
I didn't think about what I was saying. It was automatic... a human-to-canine pep talk as we struggled to scale an impossible peak. Of course, I was talking to a dog. She didn't have a clue as to what I was saying, Wonder Dog or not. Still, at the sound of my voice and the warmth of my optimism, her ears perked and shoulders pulled back. Sluggish paws picked up their pace and the wagging tongue found its way back into her mouth. In a fraction of a second, she glanced my way and almost smiled.
"I'm cheerleading a dog, for heaven's sakes!" I needed to pull myself together. Still, I couldn't ignore the profundity of the moment. With a few simple words, I changed our course. One moment we were on the verge of quitting. The next, our feet picked up the pace and we pressed on. Though weary and discouraged myself, with a few kind words I impacted a dog's ability to go further. I'm sure I could've accomplished the opposite with ill-chosen comments and a harsh tone. Instead, the Beast was brought down and Superwoman and Wonder Dog flew like heroes the rest of the way home.
Nothing brings down a beast like a little dose of hope.

While watching TV, it may be hard to miss white and glimmering smiles featured on game show hosts, talk show hosts and other TV personalities. Instead of being stumped on how they achieve TV-perfect smiles, you can visit a cosmetic dentist and have procedures done to help match them. The following four types of treatments can be completed at a cosmetic dentist, and within a few weeks your smile will be similar to the ones seen on all types of television shows.
One of the keys to a perfect TV host smile is glimmering white teeth. At a cosmetic dentist, you can undergo professional treatments to evenly whiten your teeth and keep them bright for several months. To evenly whiten all of your teeth and ensure they are covered, a dentist will form a tooth tray around your mouth. After performing x-rays and scans, a plastic tray will be form-fitted to only fit your mouth. This tray is then filled with a whitening solution that is left on your teeth for several minutes.
A whitening tray process is completed several times over a few weeks. For quick jobs, you can use highly-concentrated whitening right in the office. A cosmetic dentist may also offer a take-home method where you use your custom tray and the whitening solution on your own. This is a great way to whiten if you have a busy schedule. You can whiten at night or during hours when the dentist wouldn't be open.
Another whitening option for your teeth is a laser whitening treatment. This treatment is done at the dental office and can provide quicker results than the traditional whitening solution. The process for laser whitening is pretty simple and pain free. Before the laser treatment begins, a dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth. This ensures that no debris or plaque get treated by the laser and interfere with the whitening process.
Once the cleaning is complete, your mouth is prepared for the laser treatment. A protective gel is applied to the gums and the whitening solution is added to the teeth. The laser light will then go over the solution to leave stains and help your teeth turn a vivid white. The process often takes less than an hour, but it varies on the dentist. The process is typically completed in one appointment.
Cover up any cracked or chipped teeth with a dental crown. Traditionally, dental crowns were made of metal that would create a metallic look in your mouth. Now, you can get porcelain crowns that go over your teeth and create a look that helps match your other teeth. A dentist will use x-rays and scans to help the crown match in height and size. Once completed, it will be extremely hard to tell the difference between your crown and the natural teeth in your mouth. The result will give you an even look that is similar to various TV show hosts.
If you have any missing teeth, they can be replaced with dental implants. A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that is actually fused to your jawbone. By choosing dental implants, you can work with a dentist to choose the ideal smile that you want. Images of other smiles that you like can be used for reference. Once the dental implants are installed, they will feel and act like regular teeth.
A consultation is your first step in correcting your smile. By expressing your vision for your teeth, you can get results that you are satisfied with. Contact a company like All About Smiles Incorporated to get started.

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1960s → 1964 → November 1964 → 19 November 1964 → Commons Sitting
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WALES (RESPONSIBILITIES)
HC Deb 19 November 1964 vol 702 cc623-32 623
§ The following Question stood upon the Order Paper:
§ Q19. Mr. BOWEN
To ask the Prime Minister if he will define the responsibilities of the Secretary of State for Wales.
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Harold Wilson)
With permission, Mr. Deputy-Speaker, I will now answer Question No. 19, which has been put down for Written Answer.
As the House knows, the interests of Wales are now represented in the Cabinet by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State. My right hon. Friend will have a Welsh Office in Cardiff, which will be adequately staffed, and a small Ministerial Office in London. He has already taken over responsibility for all issues affecting Wales which do not fall within the responsibility of any other Department. He will now take over virtually all the executive responsibilities of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government in Wales. In particular, my right hon. Friend will be responsible for housing, new towns, town and country planning and the organisation of local government. In view of the close link between policies on urban planning and on road planning he will also take over from my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport responsibility for roads, including trunk roads, in Wales.
In the vital field of regional planning my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales will co-operate closely with my right hon. Friend the First Secretary of State and his Department will provide the Chairman of the Planning Board for Wales. The formulation and implementation of the plan for Wales will be done in conformity with the overall national policy for which my right hon. Friend the First Secretary of State is responsible.
With reference to the work of other Government Departments, the applica- 624 tion of national policies in Wales will be for the Ministers centrally responsible; but my right hon. Friend will have oversight within Wales of the execution of national policy by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the Department of Education and Science, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Transport, the Board of Trade and the Ministry of Labour. For this purpose my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will maintain close and regular contact with the heads of the Welsh Offices.
§ Mr. Kenneth Lewis
On a point of order. This seems to be something of an innovation, Mr. Deputy-Speaker. I should like your guidance on the matter. It is surely something of an innovation that the Prime Minister should be answering a Written Question orally. The difficulty we are in is that if we have no notice that this is to be done—it apparently never having been done before—how can we anticipate its being done so that we can be ready to ask supplementaries?
Although what I am saying is certainly an innovation, the position is that I had intended to ask your permission, Mr. Deputy-Speaker, to make a statement on this subject today in view of the widespread interest in it and the requests that I have had from hon. Members on both sides of the House that a statement should be made.
Having decided to ask your permission to make a statement, I found that this Question was on the Order Paper, and I thought it only courteous to relate the statement to that Question.
§ Mr. Deputy-Speaker (Dr. Horace King)
I can answer the point raised by the hon. Member for Rutland and Stamford (Mr. Kenneth Lewis). No point of order arises. If he will look at Erskine May he will find that Written Questions have been answered in this way before. I would refer him to the latest example, on 8th December, 1952, when the then Foreign Secretary answered a Written Question in this way.
§ Mr. Lewis
On a new point of order. Is the hon. and learned Member who is concerned with this Question in the House? I cannot see him in his place.
§ Mr. Deputy-Speaker
That is not a point of order.
Notice was given to the hon. and learned Member, but he could not be here. Perhaps I may continue.
As regards Parliamentary Questions, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will deal with all those relating to his executive responsibilities and with those arising out of his responsibility for regional planning. In addition, by arrangement with the Ministers concerned he will answer in the House on matters of special concern to Wales arising out of the work of other Departments.
Consideration is being given to improving arrangements for the discussion of matters concerning Wales, both in Welsh Grand Committee and in the House. My right hon. Friend will review the present arrangements for the publication of information about the activities of Government Departments in Wales.
These changes achieve the object of giving Wales a strong voice in Government counsels and a strong hand in her own administration.
§ Sir K. Joseph
Is the Prime Minister aware that while my right hon. and hon. Friends wish the Secretary of State well, and only want that form of administration which is best for the people of Wales, and will watch with care and interest the results of these proposed changes, a number of questions arise on what the Prime Minister has said?
First, can he tell us whether the Welsh Office will have a separate Vote? Further, can he tell us what lies behind the difference between what he has said today and what appeared in "Signposts to the New Wales"? As I understand it, the only difference in executive responsibility for the Cabinet Minister responsible for Wales is that he will now be responsible in an executive way for roads and trunk roads in Wales, while the Ministers concerned with agriculture, health, transport and labour will remain, in the executive sense, responsible for their Departments' activities in 'Wales. This contrasts strikingly with the pledge, in "Signposts to the New Wales", that the new Secretary of State would have executive responsible for education, health and agriculture, in 626 addition to housing and local government.
Will the Prime Minister tell the House whether there is any difference whatsoever in what he has proposed on the economic, power and industrial side? He has said that the Secretary of State will have close collaboration with the Minister for Economic Affairs. Will he tell the House in what possible way that differs from the previous arrangement? Finally, can he say whether, under his Administration, there will be any Minister who is resident in Wales, as was the case in the last Administration?
Perhaps I may answer the last point first. As was the case in the last Administration, there is a Minister of State who is a Member of this House, and will be responsible to this House. He is not a Member of another place. I believe that he is, in fact, resident in Wales, and it is intended that he will spend as much of his time as possible in Wales, subject to the demands of this House upon him.
As for the question of a separate Vote, a statement will be made in the House in due course. Where there is separate expenditure, this will be the subject of a separate Vote.
I thank the right hon. Gentleman for the good wishes that he has expressed to the Secretary of State, and I can say that after spending a great deal of time on this, to get the right degree of devolution in Wales without breaking up existing Departments where that would have been inimical to the interests of Wales, I think that we have got about the right answer here, but we shall be prepared to change it in any direction if we find that changes are needed.
As for the change from the previous situation, in the first place we have a Secretary of State for Wales in the Cabinet. In the past, the right hon. Gentleman was there in another capacity. Wales was tacked on to fulfil a rather meaningless election pledge in 1951. It so happened that the then Minister of Housing was discharging housing functions in Wales as well as in England, but that was only an accident, because he was Minister of Housing as well as Minister for Wales. The Secretary of State for Wales will now have a very wide range of functions, in which he will be able 627 to express the voice of Wales and put pressure on English and Welsh Departments to see that Wales gets a fair crack of the whip.
§ Mr. Ness Edwards
Is my right hon. Friend aware that some of us are a little apprehensive about the transition which is taking place and that we are not clear whether or not power is really going to rest with the Minister of State or the Department of the Minister concerned? Where deputations from local authorities are concerned to various Ministries will they be funnelled through the Welsh Minister, or will they have the right to see the Minister who has the power? These are matters about which we are a little apprehensive until we get them cleared up.
This, of course, is always a problem which arises when one is trying to do under the arrangements of the previous and the present Governments what we are all, in different ways, setting out to do. I will put the point to my right hon. Friend in this way. It would have been wrong to have broken up the responsibility of the Board of Trade to have a separate Welsh Board of Trade, because the Board of Trade—to take that Department as an example, the same would apply to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food—has great power to influence industrial establishments to settle in this or that part of the country.
It is right—with that national part to play in England and Wales and so far, at any rate, as the Board of Trade is concerned, in Scotland as well—that the Board of Trade should be available to influence firms to establish themselves where we want to see them. But surely it is right, within that, for local problems in Wales to be dealt with on a day-to-day basis by the Secretary of State, so that he can himself put the pressure on the Board of Trade. In fact, he will be a permanent deputation at the doors of the Board of Trade in London and he will spend much time at Cardiff handling deputations down there. I think that this is probably the best way to do it. If one went to either extreme, one would have the position of no devolution at all, or the fragmentation which my right hon. Friend fears.
§ Mr. Grimond
May I be allowed—in case it is thought that any discourtesy has been done by my hon. and learned Friend to the House—to explain that so far as I am aware my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Cardigan (Mr. Bowen) was not given notice of this procedure? I am making no complaint, but I think that I am right in saying that my hon. and learned Friend was not given notice. As a counsel, he is absent from the House because he had another engagement which, at this period, he could not break.
May I be permitted to ask the Prime Minister whether he will confirm that, in addition to roads, the Secretary of State for Wales will also be responsible for certain executive functions concerned with planning? Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the new planning machinery announced by the First Secretary during the debate on the Address will come under the Secretary of State for Wales or the First Secretary? Can the Prime Minister also say whether we are to understand that the Secretary of State will have quite different functions from the Secretary of State for Scotland, and his relations at the Welsh Office with such Departments as Education will merely be a a liaison through his colleagues in the Cabinet and that he will have no direct contact with those other offices at all?
On the question of giving notice to the hon. and learned Gentleman the Member for Cardigan (Mr. Bowen), we did try to make contact with him direct. Finding that impossible, we did what we thought was the next best thing and tried to do it through the offices of the Liberal Party, which we considered to be appropriate. We were informed by the Liberal Party, most courteously, that the hon. and learned Gentleman, most unusually, was away from his place. [Laughter.] I was not quoting, I was putting my own gloss on that.
We thought that despite that unhappy event, it would be wrong to keep the people of Wales waiting for a statement which we knew they were expecting, the more so as the hon. and learned Member for Montgomery (Mr. Hooson) has shown great interest in this and did put a Question last week. The hon. and 629 learned Member for Montgomery is away on Parliamentary business with N.A.T.O. at present, and, this again, was fully understood.
In the sphere of town and country planning my right hon. Friend will have the responsibility, as I have made clear, for new towns and other aspects of planning, and our plan for a new town in Wales.
With regard to economic planning, my right hon. Friend the First Secretary of State is at the moment charged with preparing a national plan which will have regional organisation and regional plans, and the intention is that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State—or one of his closest associates—would be the chairman of the planning board in Wales, and would be assisted by members of the First Secretary of State's staff, stationed in Wales, for ensuring that proper regional plans are drawn up.
In reply to the right hon. Gentleman's third question, I agree with him that this does not correspond to the existing system of much greater decentralisation which applies in the case of the Scottish Department.
§ Mr. Iorwerth Thomas
We are very grateful for the announcement by the Prime Minister and the proposal for this big step forward of devolution. Having regard to the complex manner in which the matter has been presented, and although we, as Members of the House, will have the advantage of reading the announcement in the OFFICIAL REPORT, in view of the fact that it will have an effect upon the local authorities in the Principality and other interested parties as well, may I ask the Prime Minister whether he will consider setting out these proposals in a White Paper so that everybody in Wales may have the correct interpretation of what they mean?
My statement was pretty full and longer than I like to make normally in answer to a Written Question. I have elucidated it further in the supplementary Questions which have been put. If, after that, there are any others I am sure that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and the Minister of State will be able to deal with them, whether they are from local authorities or from other interests. But this does provide a much more effective channel of communication to the central 630 Government so far as local authorities are concerned.
§ Mr. Gibson-Watt
The Prime Minister has made a long statement which will have far-reaching consequences on the constutional set-up in the Principality. May I say that we also wish the Secretary of State well in his job?
May I, equally, get rid of a remark which the right hon. Gentleman the Prime Minister used, that the former Ministers for Wales had "tagged along". On the contrary, four of them have done extremely good jobs in the Principality.
The right hon. Gentleman raised a number of questions. May I ask him this: in view of the fact that the only day for Welsh Questions is on Christmas Eve—I very much doubt whether any of the Government will be here—would it be possible to have a debate either in this House or in the Welsh Grand Committee before Christmas?
My right hon. Friend the Leader of the House will certainly consider a request for a debate, whether in the House or in the Welsh Grand Committee. When I used the phrase "tagged along" I was referring to the accident—perhaps a happy one, people have different views about it—that the former Minister of Housing was also Minister for Wales. That is why he was able to discharge or execute housing functions in Wales.
Of course, when a previous Minister for Welsh Affairs happened also to be Home Secretary there was no one at all with Welsh responsibility discharging any housing function. That is why I used the phrase. It just happened that the Minister was in charge of another Department.

§ Sir C. Osborne
What about Lloyd George?
§ Mr. Jones
Is my right hon. Friend further aware that for the last 60 years we have been agitating for what he has done to be done? Since this is an historical event so far as Wales is concerned, may I be permitted to say, on behalf of the people of Wales, in their own language, and in one sentence—[HON. MEMBERS: "Oh."]—it will be on the record:
§ "Ar ran cenedl y Cymry a gaf fi ddiolch yn fawr i'r Prif Weinidog"?
Order. I should be grateful if the hon. Gentleman would translate that for the benefit of the House.
"On behalf of the people of Wales I thank the Prime Minister very much indeed."
§ Mr. Peter Thomas
So that the hon. Member for Merioneth (Mr. T. W. Jones) can inform his constituents, I wonder whether the Prime Minister would be good enough to answer the question posed to him by my right hon. Friend, what exactly—apart from roads—is the difference in the executive functions of his right hon. Friend and those of my right hon. Friend when he was Minister for Welsh Affairs?
If the right hon. Gentleman will study the statement which I have made and which, no doubt, will be translated into Welsh if that helps, he will find the answer to that question. I gave a long list of Departments for which my right hon. Friend will have responsibility. The point which I was just making, and which I have already repeated, but which the right hon. Gentleman did not take, is that as long as the Minister for Welsh Affairs was also the Minister of Housing and Local Government, because of his strong Welsh connections a lot of housing functions were exercised by the same Minister, but, by the same token, there was no Minister for Wales putting pressure on other United Kingdom Ministers.
§ Lady Megan Lloyd George
May I congratulate my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on being the second Prime Minister to recognise the nationhood of Wales? May I also ask him to 632 make it quite clear whether the Secretary of State for Wales will assume responsibility for the Departments of Education, Agriculture and Health in Wales?
I have already dealt with that. First, may I say in answer to my hon. Friend, and in thanking her for what she has said, that I am only too well aware that in the case of the other Prime Minister to whom she referred it would not have been necessary for my hon. Friend the Member for Merioneth (Mr. T. W. Jones) to translate the good wishes which he expressed?
As to the question of education and of agriculture, I have made it plain that if there had been a complete breakaway, as is the case in Scotland, I believe that Wales would have suffered, due to the fact that it would not have had full power in education annd agriculture in respect of the Principality. But I have announced arrangements under which my right hon. Friend will have a great deal more responsibility for those two Departments, subject to his not being able on his own to depart from nationally agreed policies on those two.
As for health, we are still considering one aspect of the position, on which I am not able to make a statement this afternoon, and that relates to local authority health and welfare services.
§ Mr. Birch
Can the Prime Minister say whether the number of civil servants engaged in Welsh administration now operating in Cardiff will be reduced or increased?
Increased.
§ Mr. Abse
Order. This is a very important statement, but we must move on.

The Society carried out an assessment of the needs of Judges in Bangladesh regarding gender equality training during the summer of 2006. The assessment focused on training needs high court and district court judges and magistrates in gender equality, youth equality and minority community equality issues. It also included a component on public legal education involving the community courts and the work of community courts in promoting equality for women and children. This led to the development of a major project proposal.


Both the Blue Ribbon Commission for Four-Year Higher Education and the Public Employees Insurance Agency Task Force were slated to wrap up their work in December. Both had planned to keep meeting past their mandate and even held meetings in the beginning of January.
Yet, both went dark for the remainder of the 60-day legislative session that started Jan. 9. Several bills based on recommendations to both groups were introduced, though very few passed.
Dale Lee, the president of the West Virginia Education Association, was the only person appointed to sit on both the PEIA Task Force and the Blue Ribbon Commission. He said he has not heard whether either group will continue, but he hopes they will.
"Absolutely for PEIA and I would think there is a need for the Blue Ribbon Commission to continue," Lee said.
The PEIA Task Force was formed after a 10-day strike by teachers and school service personnel last year. The educators rallied Feb. 22, 2018, to March 7, 2018, for an increased pay raise and for a permanent funding solution for PEIA.
Lawmakers approved a new pay raise from 1 percent to 5 percent for all state employees paid through the general revenue budget. Justice froze PEIA premium and coverage levels, and the Legislature put another $30 million into PEIA.
Justice also formed the PEIA Taskforce by executive order to look at long-term fixes for PEIA with a December 2018 deadline to submit a report.
Between March and December, the task force held public hearings around the state along with surveys to get feedback from public employees. A number of recommendations were adopted by the task force, including changes to coverage for state employees living in border counties.
The PEIA Finance Board approved the task force's plan as originally proposed by Justice. The entire package will cost $9.8 million to implement starting fiscal year 2020. During its December meeting, Justice Chief of Staff Mike Hall said Justice expected the task force to continue its work.
The Legislature also approved a recommendation from Justice to put $105 million in a PEIA Rainy Day Fund for long-term stabilization. But even with that funding and recent surpluses generated by PEIA, the plan will need between $50 million and $100 million in additional funding by fiscal year 2021.
The Blue Ribbon Commission for Four-Year Higher Education was created by an executive order by Justice in July. It was charged with looking at funding for colleges and universities, eliminating inefficiencies, ensuring smaller institutions remain stable and reforming the Higher Education Policy Commission.
The commission held multiple meetings between July and December and voted on several recommendations, such as a short-term funding model to more fairly distribute state funding between the colleges and universities. But much of the focus turned to dismantling the HEPC completely and replacing it with a new service-oriented agency.
December came and went with no final report, with the commission asking for more time to complete a proposal and draft legislation to scrap the HEPC. Despite one meeting in January, a final proposal was never received, though a month later a bill would be introduced to replace the HEPC with an Office of Post Secondary Education. The bill was never taken up.
In a statement a few weeks ago, E. Gordon Gee, president of West Virginia University President and the Blue Ribbon Commission co-chairman, said the commission would continue.
"We do expect that the commission will continue its work in collaboration with the Legislature and the governor to continue to consider options to improve higher education," Gee said.
Michael Farrell, chairman of the HEPC and a Blue Ribbon Commission member, was a vocal critic of the plan to eliminate the HEPC. Farrell said last week after a HEPC meeting that he isn't sure if the Blue Ribbon Commission will continue.
Lee also hasn't heard whether the Blue Ribbon Commission will continue, but he said there are still unanswered questions about how to make higher education affordable for families.
According to the governor's office, costs associated with the PEIA Task Force totaled more than $10,000 for travel reimbursements and meeting room rentals. The governor's office did not track the expenses of the Blue Ribbon Commission. Officials said they would keep the public informed if and when these committees meet again.

Kerry James Marshall: 'As an artist, everything should be a challenge'
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Kerry James Marshall taught himself to draw and made his first paintings in Harlem YMCA. As a major retrospective opens in LA, he talks about taking on the Old Masters.
The day before the crowds get in to his critically praised retrospective, Kerry James Marshall is walking around the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, taking in 30 years of his work. Wearing a casual green T-shirt and slacks and with his visitor badge still attached, he looks more like a tourist who has wandered into the wrong exhibition than one of America's most revered contemporary artists. Although his work is known for its challenging nature, you get the impression he's content with his lot. "I see myself as having fulfilled a lot of my ambition," says Marshall. "All the things I dreamed of achieving, I've achieved for the most part."
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Marshall moved with his family to Los Angeles and grew up in Watts and South Central during the 1960s. He enrolled in drawing lessons, cribbed from art shows on TV and copied the work of various people including Charles White, who would become his teacher at the Otis Art Institute in LA. He moved to New York in the 80s after being awarded an artist-in-residence fellowship at the Studio Museum in Harlem. It was there, while staying in the same YMCA that Malcolm X checked into decades earlier, that Marshall began painting his large-scale figurative works.

[[WMG: Mono's cursed fate was that everyone who grew close to her died]]
As a result, most people kept their distance from her, except for {{Determinator}} Wander, who vowed to her that he would find a way to break the curse. However, before he could, Mono was killed "for the good of the village" (similar to the reasoning of sacrificing horned children at the beginning of Ico's story). Wander realized that the only force that stood a chance of bringing Mono back to life (and hopefully break her curse) was Dormin's forbidden magic, which he presumably learned about from legends of his village; hence why he and Agro journeyed to the Forbidden Land with Mono's body and the sword. But even in death, Mono's curse persisted, resulting in Agro seemingly falling to her death and Wander completely losing himself due to his fulfillment of Dormin's {{Deal With The Devil}}. But, because Wander did ultimately [[NobleDemon hold up his end of the deal]], Dormin succeeded in resurrecting Mono and breaking her curse. As an added bonus, the last two victims of Mono's curse, Agro and Wander, also survived (despite Wander now being cursed himself). The reason Mono doesn't seem surprised by her being alive, or by [[spoiler: baby]] Wander, in the ending is because she knew about his plans; it's confirmation to her that Wander succeeded in his goal.

If They had Their way, They'd tell Wander ''exactly'' where the Colossi are and how to expose their vitals. However, the seal They're under prevents Them from speaking so directly about how to undo it, so They have to circumlocute around Their bindings. This might also be part of why They're so cagey about the 'price' Wander has to pay.

[[WMG: The female half of Dormin isn't part of Dormin at all.]]
The more Colossi Wander kills, the more the female voice begins to fade. That's because she was a woman who was heavily involved in Dormin being sealed. Perhaps she pulled a HeroicSacrifice (if you interpret Dormin as a villain or anti-villain, that is) and sealed Dormin herself, or, similar to Mono, she was sacrificed by the actual perpetrators, perhaps to act as a living seal.

** Also ties in with the idea that they're Soul Jars for Dormin. A god of life ''and'' death probably has an unusual perspective on what those things ''are''. For instance, death takes on a different meaning if resurrection is an option. The Colossi who do little to resist death may be the ones who don't see death as an actual "ending".

The ones who make the least effort to resist Wander are the ones who honestly aren't aware that death is an option.
* Long ago, the world was ruled by Colossi. Then some New Gods rose up and nearly wiped them out. The 16 Colossi are the last of their race, and they're much less powerful than they used to be. Emon worships the pantheon of the New Gods. Dormin was part of the pantheon but got kicked out for some reason. They sealed his soul inside Colossi because their nature as deities made them useful as Soul Jars. (You can store a god's soul inside a mortal, but it doesn't last very long before the mortal dies.) When Wander slays the last Colossi, he completes the transition from the Old Gods to the New Gods.

It's officially Adele Month, and now fans have song titles to tide them over until the release of the pop star's 30 album on Nov. 19.
On Monday (Nov. 1), Adele released the track list for her album, as well as the bonus tracks included on a Target deluxe edition. There are two collaborators listed on the track list, including late American jazz pianist Erroll Garner on "All Night Parking" and country superstar Chris Stapleton on a bonus-track duet of 30 lead single "Easy on Me."
Garner — best known for composing the jazz standard "Misty" — died in 1977 and is the first collaborator ever named on a standard edition of an Adele album. The "Easy on Me" redo marks the second time Adele has teamed with a country star for a bonus cut. A collab with Darius Rucker (in which they covered Lady A's "Need You Now") appeared on a deluxe edition bonus disc of 21.
Adele's 'Easy on Me' Rules Hot 100 for Second Week, Doja Cat's 'Need to Know' Hits Top 10
"Easy on Me" is spending its second week atop the Billboard Hot 100 and also stays at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.
Adele's last album, 2015's 25, logged 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, won album of the year and best pop vocal album at the 2017 Grammy Awards, and was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Back on practice squad
Zylstra reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Zylstra was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's Week 9 win over Green Bay but didn't log any offensive snaps. He did tally five snaps on special teams and returned one kick for 19 yards. Zylstra was also active in Week 7 but didn't see any offensive snaps in that game, either.
Published: Mon, Nov 7 at 3:50pm by Rotowire.com
More news and analysis available atNFL.com
Elevated to active roster
Zylstra was elevated from the Lions' practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against Miami.
Analysis: This marks the second consecutive game that Zylstra has been promoted to Detroit's active roster, as the team continues to battle a number of injuries in its wide receiver corps. He played exclusively on special teams in Week 8, and that could the case once again against the Dolphins.
Published: Sat, Nov 5 at 7:33pm by Rotowire.com
Returns to practice squad
Zylstra reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Zylstra played nine snaps on special teams Sunday against the Cowboys and was unable to tally any stats. The veteran receiver could see another elevation to the main roster Sunday against the Dolphins with DJ Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) still on IR,
Published: Mon, Oct 24 at 4:22pm by Rotowire.com
Elevated from practice squad
Zylstra was elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday.
Analysis: This will be Zylstra's first time on the active roster this season, but he has considerable NFL experience, playing in 53 games over the past four seasons. His best campaign came last year with Carolina, as he compiled 18 catches on 25 targets for 250 yards and a touchdown. Detroit has a need for wide receiver depth with DJ Chark (ankle) moved to IR on Saturday and Josh Reynolds questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas due to a knee injury.
Published: Sat, Oct 22 at 7:27pm by Rotowire.com
Joins Lions
Zylstra was signed to Detroit's practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Zylstra will now join his brother Shane on the team's practice squad. The 29-year-old has spent the last three seasons with the Panthers and was a member of their final roster cuts at the end of training camp.
Published: Tue, Oct 4 at 4:47pm by Rotowire.com
Released by Panthers
Zylstra was released by the Panthers on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Zylstra re-signed with the Panthers in March, but he will hit the open market after failing to make the team's final roster. The wide receiver played 13 games with the Panthers in 2021, catching 18 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown. The 29-year-old will likely sign with another squad in need of wide receiver depth.
Published: Tue, Aug 30 at 10:47am by Rotowire.com
Back with Panthers
Zylstra re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year contract Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Zylstra briefly hit the open market but will return to Carolina for the fourth consecutive season. The 28-year-old set career highs across the board in 2021 with 18 receptions for 250 yards and one touchdown in 13 games.
Published: Wed, Mar 16 at 10:30pm by Rotowire.com
No yards Sunday
Zylstra didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Buccaneers. He also attempted an incomplete pass.
Analysis: Zylstra played just three snaps after returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list last week, but with Terrace Marshall (foot) sidelined Sunday, Zylstra reclaimed Carolina's No. 3 wideout role and featured on nearly 70 percent of the offensive plays. Despite his increased involvement, Zylstra didn't manage any yards on the day. As a result, he ends this season with 18 catches on 25 targets for 250 yards and a touchdown in 14 appearances. Even though they came within one of the league's worst…read more
Published: Mon, Jan 10 at 5:34pm by Rotowire.com
Tiny offensive role
Zylstra played just three offensive snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Zylstra returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, but his time out prevented him from seeing the field much offensively. In contrast, rookie wideout Terrace Marshall played 44 snaps, catching two passes for 16 yards. Although Carolina's underwhelming offense restricts the upside of its third receiver, it'll be interesting to see whether Marshall or Zylstra gets more run Week 18 versus the Buccaneers.
Published: Mon, Jan 3 at 2:08pm by Rotowire.com
Comes off COVID-19 list
Carolina activated Zylstra (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Zylstra looks like he'll be available to play Sunday in New Orleans after he was deactivated ahead of last week's eventual loss to Tampa Bay upon testing positive for the virus hours before kickoff. Assuming Zylstra is good to go from a conditioning standpoint, he could step back in as the Panthers' No. 3 receiver, a role he held prior to going on the COVID-19 list. The job wasn't especially fruitful for fantasy purposes, with Zylstra recording no more than four receptions in any of his past…read more
Published: Fri, Dec 31 at 2:35pm by Rotowire.com
Tests positive for virus
Zylstra's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday was the result of a positive test of the virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 28-year-old receiver was added to the list less than two hours prior to the Panthers' 32-6 loss to the Buccaneers. Assuming he's vaccinated, Zylstra will have a chance to be available for the Panthers' Week 17 game against the Saints if he can clear the necessary COVID-19 return-to-play protocols, but the wideout will almost certainly miss practice time leading up to the contest. Terrace Marshall served as Carolina's No. 3 receiver Week 16 while Zylstra was out, finishing with one catch for…read more
Published: Mon, Dec 27 at 10:25am by Rotowire.com
Added to COVID list
The Panthers placed Zylstra on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Until Zylstra clears the NFL's COVID-19-related protocols, Terrace Marshall is a candidate for increased snaps. To add depth at the wideout position in advance of the Week 16 contest, Carolina elevated wide receiver C.J. Saunders from the practice squad.
Published: Sun, Dec 26 at 7:18am by Rotowire.com
Makes two grabs
Zylstra caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Zylstra once again served as Carolina's No. 3 receiver, playing over 70 percent of the offensive snaps. However, with kicker Zane Gonzalez (quadriceps) getting injured pre-game, Zylstra was also trusted with kickoff duties. Although he didn't net many fantasy points overall, Zylstra proved his worth to the Panthers with his flexibility Sunday.
Published: Mon, Dec 20 at 8:54am by Rotowire.com
Makes four grabs
Zylstra caught four of five targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Zylstra played over half of Carolina's offensive snaps, remaining more involved than teammate Terrace Marshall despite the rookie's return Sunday. Furthermore, while Marshall wasn't even targeted, Zylstra trailed only top wideouts DJ Moore and Robby Anderson in receptions and targets. At this stage, the veteran Zylstra has seemingly claimed the Panthers' third receiver job, helping his value even if his upside remains very modest.
One catch Sunday
Zylstra caught one of two targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Zylstra placed second on Carolina in receiving yards, evidence of the team's struggles through the air Sunday. Interestingly, the veteran played over half of the offensive snaps while rookie Terrace Marshall was a healthy scratch. That situation is something to monitor once the Panthers return from their Week 13 bye, as Zylstra's stock could improve slightly should he remain the preferred slot option.
Published: Mon, Nov 29 at 7:08am by Rotowire.com
Makes a catch
Zylstra caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Zylstra's reception gave him a catch in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Although he's hauled in 11 of his 12 targets thus far, Zylstra's 164 yards and one score through eight appearances evidences his limited fantasy value.
Zylstra caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Zylstra hadn't played in three weeks due to a hamstring injury, but he took advantage of both his pass-catching opportunities Sunday. As a depth wideout in an underwhelming passing game, however, Zylstra holds little weekly fantasy value.
Back on active roster
Zylstra (hamstring) was removed from IR and placed onto the Panthers' active roster Saturday, Will Bryan of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Zylstra ended up spending the minimum three weeks on IR after hurting his hamstring in Week 6. While his contributions on offense have been modest -- eight catches for 139 yards -- Zylstra is a key special teams player for the Panthers.
Published: Sat, Nov 13 at 1:49pm by Rotowire.com
Designated to return from IR
Zylstra (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since landing on the Panthers' injured reserve.
Analysis: Zylstra landed on the Panthers' injured reserve midway through October and finally seems healthy enough to return to practice. The Panthers have three weeks to activate their receiver to the active roster before he's stuck on injured reserve for the remainder of the year. Expect Zylstra's return to have a minimal impact on the Panthers' offense.
Published: Wed, Nov 10 at 6:04pm by Rotowire.com
Lands on injured reserve
Zylstra was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a hamstring injury.
Analysis: While Zylstra hasn't been a huge part of the offense this season, he does have a trio of multi-catch contests under his belt. The Panthers will be down some wide receiver depth as a result, but the team used the roster spot to sign punter Ryan Winslow to the active roster.
Published: Tue, Oct 19 at 12:51pm by Rotowire.com
Makes three grabs
Zylstra caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss against the Vikings.
Analysis: Zylstra shook off a hamstring injury suffered during the game and trailed only DJ Moore for Carolina's team lead in receptions, and he's now hauled in all eight passes thrown his way this season. Although he usually holds minimal fantasy upside, Zylstra could see more playing time if rookie Terrace Marshall is unable to clear concussion protocol ahead of the Week 7 matchup with the Giants.
Published: Mon, Oct 18 at 7:03am by Rotowire.com
Returns to action
Zylstra (hamstring) has returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press.
Analysis: Zylstra left the game in the first half, but the injury wasn't as serious as originally expected and he's managed to return to action.
Published: Sun, Oct 17 at 12:22pm by Rotowire.com
Sidelined with hamstring issue
Zylstra is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a hamstring injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Zylstra has served as a depth receiver for the Panthers throughout the season but failed to record a reception Sunday prior to suffering the injury. Shi Smith and Alex Erickson could see an increased role if Zylstra remains sidelined.
Published: Sun, Oct 17 at 11:08am by Rotowire.com
Career-long grab
Zylstra caught both his targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Zylstra's output was supported by a career-long catch of 55 yards. Only DJ Moore outgained him through the air among Carolina receivers, but while Zylstra has been sprinkled in occasionally so far, his low overall involvement restricts his weekly value.
Published: Mon, Oct 4 at 7:09am by Rotowire.com
Scores rare touchdown
Zylstra caught all three of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Zylstra made the most of his 14 offensive snaps, hauling in the first receiving touchdown of his four-year career with a 20-yarder in the first quarter. As Carolina's fourth wideout, Zylstra can't be expected to match Sunday's production often, but his Week 2 impact should keep him in the mix for Sam Darnold.
Published: Mon, Sep 20 at 5:59am by Rotowire.com
Re-ups with Panthers
Carolina re-signed Zylstra to a one-year deal Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Zylstra has been a key contributor on special teams over three seasons with the Panthers, earning him a spot with the team in 2021 as well. With just three catches for 35 yards across 16 games in 2020, he remains off the fantasy radar.
Published: Mon, Feb 22 at 9:50am by Rotowire.com
Completes full season
Zylstra finished the 2020 season with three catches on four targets for 35 yards and one carry for one yard in 16 games played.
Analysis: Zylstra played sparingly on offense, but he actually scored his first career touchdown with a fumble recovery on special teams in Week 16's win over Washington. As a restricted free agent this offseason, it'll be interesting to see whether the Panthers bring Zylstra back to fill a similar role next season.
Scores on special teams
Zylstra was not targeted but did recover a muffed punt for a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over Washington.
Analysis: Zylstra flew down the field and fell on a dropped punt that trickled into the end zone, opening the scoring for the Panthers. The veteran has caught just three passes this season, but Sunday's recovery at least gave him his first career touchdown.
Published: Mon, Dec 28 at 3:22pm by Rotowire.com
Good to go Sunday
Zylstra (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Zylstra entered the weekend questionable despite logging back-to-back full practices to close out the week. The 27-year-old has played sparingly on offense this season, totaling 70 snaps and two receptions for 32 yards.
Published: Sun, Nov 29 at 8:59am by Rotowire.com
Makes long catch
Zylstra caught his only target for 28 yards in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Zylstra connected with punter Joseph Charlton on a successful fake punt to begin the second quarter, but considering it marked just the second reception of the season for Zylstra, the depth wideout's fantasy value remains almost non-existent.
Published: Mon, Nov 9 at 6:10am by Rotowire.com
Closes out 2019 with impressive day
Zylstra hauled in six of eight targets for 96 receiving yards during Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: The 26-year-old wideout from Concordia-Moorhead (MN) took advantage of increased playing time Week 17, logging a game high in receiving yards as Carolina's No. 1 WR D.J. Moore sat out with a concussion. Zylstra fielded a season-high 24 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps Week 16 when Moore went down with injury in the first quarter of a blowout loss to Indianapolis, but in the season finale against New Orleans, he was even more involved, finishing behind only Christian McCaffrey in targets…read more
Published: Sun, Dec 29 at 2:04pm by Rotowire.com
Offensive coordinator Scott Turner said Thursday that Zylstra is one of the receivers expected to fill in for D.J. Moore (concussion) in Week 17, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: In the likely event that Moore is forced to sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints, Zylstra and Chris Hogan will likely be the primary beneficiaries of increased roles on offense. The second-year pro caught his only target for three yards during Week 16's loss to the Colts.
Published: Thu, Dec 26 at 1:24pm by Rotowire.com
Makes first grab
Zylstra caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Zylstra had been targeted just once through four games entering Sunday, but was able to make his first catch of the campaign while playing late in Week 14's blowout defeat.

3 Americans and 65 Tanzanians!
Our social enterprise tries to reach as many smallholder farmers in Tanzania who have some experience with market agriculture to improve their yields with water pumps. In Tanzania however, seeing is believing. Many clients want to see our pumps in action before they commit to them. A visual is everything. Doing this for each client however, some who are more than 100km away from our closest office, is improbable. That's why we're looking for a videographer experteer to help us create some video content to educate and engage potential clients!
Our social enterprise is planning to equip our sales staff with tablets so that they can visually demonstrate our pumps to farmers. Your video is just what would achieve this! With our sales staff of almost 30, we can use the tablets to demo our pumps effortlessly to half of Tanzania, removing the need for the sales team to carry 3-4 large solar panels, 10kg pump, and other equipment we would need to show the pipe pumping water for each demonstration. With these videos, farmers who are watering by hand or using expensive fuel for pumps would understand what a solar pump can do for them.
Our ideal candidate is a videographer who can create engaging visual content for social media involving product content.
This is a great way to learn more about the social impact and sustainable agriculture space in Tanzania as part of our great team!
This organization is a For-profit working on Global Development.

Rupert Murdoch Takes Over As Prince Of Darkness
8 July 2015 16:40·
Like a fox out of hell!
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is stepping down as leader of 21st Century Fox to take up the role of Prince of Darkness recently vacated by Christopher Lee who sadly passed away last month.
At a packed press conference earlier today the Australian octogenarian, who had just arrived from his appearance at the World Satanic Conference, explained why he believes he has the perfect devilish qualities for the position.
"Once I heard the role was up for grabs I couldn't wait to throw my hat into the ring," said Murdoch, "especially if the hat hits a simpering Guardianista hard in the face causing multiple bruises.
"My work speaks for itself. For the last 40 years, I've been at the helm of the world's most reviled and vicious media empire.
"I've backed the wickedest regimes with my hideous network of misinformation and misdirection.
"I have wreaked havoc on the poor, women, immigrants and filthy liberal scum throughout my career and my contribution to world hate levels cannot be overlooked.
"I am the angel of the bottomless pit and the god of demons. My reign over the Earth will shroud this foul land with over a ten thousand years of terror and villainy the likes of which has not been seen since the Nazi regime.
"I will bring pain and pestilence wherever I roam and because of the Internet I roam pretty much everywhere.
"Just take a look at my track record and you'll see why I'm the perfect fit."
