Dublin man Robbie Lawlor wants Irish people to address the stigma around HIV diagnoses
The HIV activist and PhD candidate was diagnosed with the virus at the age of 21 but didn't recognise some signs of the condition before attending his first sexual health screening
Shauna Bannon Ward
Dublin man Robbie Lawlor was 21 years old when he tested positive for HIV.
While he was shocked at the diagnosis, he says looking back there were signs that he had been infected.
The HIV activist shares that the stigma in Ireland around the virus can actually prevent people from getting tested and seeking the necessary medical help.
Robbie told RSVP Live: "It was my very first sexual health check at age 21 and I only went because I thought it was something I should do.
"I had been sexually active since I was 18. HIV was never on my radar. I didn't even know existed in Ireland.
"You can imagine my shock when they sat me down and said your test came back positive. It was really, really shocking."

While he didn't think he had displayed any symptoms of HIV before his test, he now realises looking back there were some signs.
"But I did have symptoms, because my immune system was quite low. I had growths on my tongue, and it's called leukoplakia. They have to go to get biopsied because they are a precursor to oral cancer, but it was thankfully negative.
"I had stuff like athlete's foot that I couldn't get rid of. But that's just normal stuff, you never think, 'Oh, that's HIV'."
"If I left it another six to eight months, I could have got my immune system so low that I could have been opened up to AIDS-defining illnesses."

There are many different AIDS-defining illnesses which can range from cervical cancer, candidiasis of bronchi, trachea, or lungs to bacterial infections.
They are associated with AIDS and can be used as guidelines for diagnosing the condition.
The PhD candidate explained two things that indicate you have HIV: "The very first one is that after a week or two after infection, a small cohort of people would say that they experience the worst flu-like symptoms ever."
"Because during that time the body's system realises 'Oh, there's HIV in my system' and they hit it with away everything they have."

He explained that because your immune system is attacking the HIV you can experience things like headaches and fever.
From his experience, he says that some people may not even display symptoms of being infected until they develop an AIDS-defining illness.
The other way to find out if you have HIV is to regularly get tested and complete health screenings.
Robbie explained that the stigma surrounding HIV hugely impacts people from finding out about their status.
"Some people would prefer not to know their status rather than get tested. There's people who have gotten tested and don't link into care because they need to take time to process it because they have to overcome some internalised stigma.
"We really want people to link into care straightaway after getting their HIV diagnosis, stay in care, go on medication, become undetectable and biologically suppressed so they can't pass it on and they get to live a long healthy and happy life."

He shared that these stigmas can present in many different ways with funding for sexual health being cut by the government in recent years.
"Unfortunately, women living with HIV are normally late presenters, which means they only get diagnosed with HIV when it has attacked their immune system so much that can open themselves up to opportunistic infections."
The sexual health educator reminded people to get tested for STIs and other sexually transmitted infections as regularly as you would attend a dental check-up.
He says that like people with many other chronic health conditions, people with HIV are likely to develop more issues in the future.
However, due to the regular check-ups, people with HIV may be able to detect other medical conditions that are not related to the virus.
"Because we get tested, and all our bloods are done every six months, if something is happening we're caught very early.
"[Doctors] realised that my cholesterol was through the roof. It wasn't to do with HIV, it's got to do with my family history.
"I was put on statin [a common cholesterol-lowering drug] at the age of 29 so that means my long term health is completely fine, but I've had members of my family die at 50 from heart attacks because they have high cholesterol."

Articles > RMC > Statements > Al-Quds
On the last Friday of Ramadan, Muslims of the whole world express their solidarity with the long-suffering people of Palestine.
Russia's Muslims have supported Palestinian cause since Soviet times. The position of our Muslims, our state and our people remains constant: Palestine must be recognized by the world community as an independent nation with its capital in Jerusalem.
Al-Quds is the Arabic name of Jerusalem, Islam's third holiest city after Mecca and Medina. Al-Quds Day is important not only for Palestinians but for the whole world, for Jerusalem is a holy city, a city of three divine faiths. Muslims consider it important because of the Mi'raj (night journey and ascension) of Prophet Muhammad (peace and prayer be upon him) that took place here, and as their first Qibla.
Jerusalem of our days is a city where Muslims have to run the gauntlet through armed Israeli soldiers if they want to visit al-Aqsa or other mosques and holy sites. It is a city where year after year, Israeli military kills Palestinian civilians—women, old people and kids alike.
The tragic news that come from the Middle East every day tell us of how grim and hopeless the situation there is. Palestinians who are portrayed by mass media as militants and aggressors in fact only assert their rights over the land that they've lost, losing tens of thousands of people in bloody clashes with one of the most advanced armies of the Middle East. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of dishoused Palestinians turned into refugees scattered all around the world. As for Israelis, they continue to push their criminal claims by making up gruesome myths. They are aided in this quest by pro-Western media that tries to whitewash Israeli leadership.
To our deep regret, we can't but acknowledge the existence of media blackout and bias against Islam and the coverage of the life of Muslim Ummah in the whole world. Thuswise, for many years in a row mass media regularly reminds of the destruction of Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, portraying these events as the example of "aggressiveness" of Muslims, but at the same time keep silent about the ongoing violence and genocide of Muslim population in Buddhist Burma. Few isolated voices of disapproval cannot lift the media blockade and cannot stop this great tragedy. Another example of zombification of public opinion is the Palestinian issue, which was re-opened in 1947, right after the end of dreadful WWII. Since these times, Israeli forces have persistently and systematically stealing territories from Palestinians, driving them into enclaves more resembling prisons than anything else.
Nowadays Israel, blowing off steam from its deflationary economy, started brawling before the long-suffering Palestinian nation—once again. All the attention of the world media is focused on Israeli sufferings, labelling the dead and the wounded Palestinians, their fathers, brothers and sons whose relatives became victims of Israel's troubled politics as terrorists. Yes, there are casualties among Israelis too, and we grieve at them, but all of them are the victims of oppression and harassment politics, seeds of which have been generously sown since 1940s!
Israeli side systematically, over and over again carries out numerous military operations—"Cast Lead", "Protective Edge" and others—that take a heavy toll on Palestinian lives, under the excuse of fighting terror. By today, the count of killed Palestinians is measured in hundreds, and thousands more are wounded, while the Israelis have barely lost twenty. Of course, counting and comparing lost lives is incorrect for even one death is a great tragedy, but at least it helps us understand how uneven are the forces involved!
We voice our support for our suffering brothers and sisters in Palestine and call upon the just people in Israel to condemn military ventures of their government.
We pray for our brothers and ask Almighty Allah to return peace to the people of Palestine.

2nd wave of COVID-19; Protecting vulnerable, needy people need of hour: EU Envoy
Sun, 29 Nov 2020, 4:20 PM
ISLAMABAD, Nov 29 (APP): EU Ambassador to Pakistan Androulla Kaminara on Sunday said that the European Union was trying to help the most vulnerable segments of the society by ensuring basic amenities of lives at their doorsteps, including health, clean drinking water, sanitation and hygiene environment amid surging second wave of COVID-19.
Talking to APP, she said in that regard the EU signed a memorandum of understanding with UNHCR and committed to provide Euro10 million to boost the latter's assistance operations for Afghan refugees and their host communities in Pakistan.
The funding was aimed to focus on mitigating the short and medium-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, besides expanding UNHCR's health efforts for refugee and host communities, she added.
Another important component of the new project, Androulla Kaminara said, would be implementing activities for empowering vulnerable Afghan refugees and host communities by ensuring livelihood opportunities.
The three-year project would be implemented across the country and was expected to benefit some 370,000 Afghan refugees and Pakistani host communities, she added.
Meanwhile, UNHCR's Representative in Pakistan Noriko Yoshida welcomed the EU's contribution, saying such support amid the current COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the EU's commitment to "leaving no one behind".

"This support is truly significant. At a time when it is most urgently needed, the EU will help make a difference in the lives of so many refugees and Pakistani host communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic," she said.
Noriko Yoshida said UNHCR's overall emergency response was in support of efforts by the Government of Pakistan to prevent and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
UNHCR had been advocating for the inclusion of refugees in the government's COVID-19 Prevention and Response Plan, she added.
Androulla Kaminara, while sharing details of the EU funding since July 2018, said the European Union had contributed €37 million from its development budget and €10 million from its humanitarian resources to support the Afghan refugees and their host communities, in particular through UNHCR's regional programmes.
In May 2020, she said, the EU announced a €150 million package to support Pakistan's efforts in addressing the short-term and long-term public health and socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the new funding of €10 million for UNHCR.

This funding, she added would be channelled towards three sectors: health, WASH and social protection.
In the health sector, it would boost health initiatives by helping to provide personal protective equipment, medical supplies and other relief items to health facilities in support of refugees and host communities, she said.
Community outreach on the prevention and response to COVID-19 would also be strengthened, she added.
In the WASH sector, she said the EU's contribution would help enable UNHCR to upgrade or construct facilities such as toilets, handwash basins and water pumps in schools, health centres and communal facilities in or close to refugee villages – benefitting both the refugees and Pakistanis.
In terms of social protection, the assistance would contribute to UNHCR's emergency cash programme for the most vulnerable registered Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
"The one-time cash assistance will mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic by helping refugees meet their basic needs," she added.

London's new Mayor blasts Trump
Ben Snell, Contributor|May 13, 2016
London's new mayor, Sadiq Khan, criticized presidential candidate, Donald Trump's take on Islam and how it could make the U.S. and the U.K. "less safe".
Last week, Khan was elected mayor of London, which makes him the first Muslim mayor of a Western capital city.
Sadiq made his comments in a response to Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States and how Trump would in fact allow Khan to enter.
The mayor said in a statement, "Donald Trump's ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe — it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of the extremists."
On Monday, Trump told the New York Times he was "happy" that Khan was elected mayor. The Times asked him how the presidential candidate planned on enforcing the ban with Trump replying: "There will be exceptions."
Trump also stated, "I think it's a very good thing, and I hope he does a very good job because frankly that would be very, very good."
In November (right after the Paris terror attacks), Trump was criticized for calling for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."
During Khan's campaign for mayor, he would consistently accuse his opponent (Zac Goldsmith) of "drawing from the Donald Trump playbook" when targeting his religion.
Khan told Time magazine Monday, ""I think to try and look for differences, to try and turn communities against each other is not conducive to living successfully and amicably."
Khan stated that if Trump does indeed win the election, "I'll be stopped from going there by virtue of my faith, which means I can't engage with American mayors and swap ideas. Conservative tacticians thought those sorts of tactics would win London and they were wrong. I'm confident that Donald Trump's approach to politics won't win in America."
Trump has in fact made comments that Britain has "a massive Muslim problem." However, a public U.K. petition to ban Trump for his hate speech has gained nearly five-hundred thousand signatures.
In January, the British parliamentarians held a non-binding debate on the issue with one debater saying, "I don't think Donald Trump should be allowed within one-thousand miles of our shore."
Trump has raised many eyebrows in this election and it seems that his statements are already having a negative effect on America's foreign affairs. If he is indeed elected though, London's mayor definitely won't be here to see it.

The Buyers: Connecting Consumer Confidence Dots
The confident consumer is a sector of the shopping industry that most merchants are likely hoping to increase spending and attitudes about the market. In today's topsy-turvy arena, while retail undergoes its digital transformation, whether or not the confident consumer thrives is lingering on retailers' ability to stay engaged with their target base.
Consumer confidence and the resulting retail sales, although intrinsically interconnected, don't always reflect the same outlook. Earlier this year, it was reported that sentiment for consumers was a 17-year high, but it may not necessarily affect merchants' bottom lines as much as they hope. The University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers showed a 7.3 percent increase, up to a total of 124.9 in confidence from the previous year. As it turns out, those warm consumer feelings started to curb, with a slight decline down to 121.1.
June retail sales saw a 0.2 percent decline, but reports from the U.S. Commerce Department show that July saw a 0.6 percent increase, which is 0.2 percent higher than Reuters polled economists predicted. On the surface, these numbers seem to indicate a strong economy, but according to CNBC, consumers are pulling from their savings accounts to help fund their current retail spending. As a direct result, U.S. consumers' savings rate dropped from 6.2 percent in Q2 of 2015 to 3.8 percent in Q2 of this year.
JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli commented to Reuters on the unnerving nature of this significant decline in savings accounts and what it may mean for the future of economic survival. "The decline in the saving rate, however, raises some longer-term concerns about consumer spending," Feroli said. "Savings can't drop indefinitely, and future consumption growth will need to rely on stronger income growth."
So far, in the month of August there has been a positive increase in consumer outlook. Nearly 50 percent of respondents from the University of Michigan's latest research say their finances have improved. This bodes well for retailers looking to continue with forward momentum for upcoming Q4 sales. The director of University of Michigan's survey, Richard Curtin, commented to Bloomberg about these new results and what it may mean for the consumer outlook.
"The precautionary mood of consumers had required price discounts and low interest rates to offset their economic uncertainties, now consumers are more likely to base their spending decisions on a renewed confidence in their jobs and incomes. To be sure, attractive prices and interest rates are still required, but the basic motivation has begun to shift toward a more confident buyer."
Given the slight decline in retail sales at the beginning of the summer and the sudden uptick in August, it seems as though the confident consumer will likely remain hopeful for the remainder of the year. The combination of the retail industry's digital transition and President Trump's recent comments on eCommerce retailer Amazon, the balance between various retail buying silos for consumer buying patterns may also remain the same. Being that Amazon is one of the retailers that has seen a significant impact on others and some may argue is helping shape the retail of the future, what the President says about the online retailer may impact the entire industry.
In consumer news this week, Amazon shares are seeing a decline at the same time as the retail-tracking exchange-traded fund, S&P Retail ETF (XRT). While the XRT has fallen for the last three weeks, Amazon's stock has fallen for four consecutive weeks. Miller Tabak's equity strategist Matt Maley commented on the potential concerns this brings to the retail industry.
"The reason this could be an issue is because the XRT had been going down for quite some time, showing the retail stocks weren't doing well, but everybody was saying that's OK, the consumer is still doing well, because they're buying all their stuff through Amazon."
In Illinois, it is now legally protected for consumers to sue review websites like Yelp and Trip Advisor following a negative posting. Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bill into law that prevents businesses from going after or persuading consumers to not post critical reviews by threatening fees. This new law is an amendment to the state's Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.

Katie Hebron and Brittany Hollister didn't cross paths in graduate school, but their last names brought them into close proximity in the procession for last week's PhD commencement ceremony. There, they discovered that they are pursuing similar post-graduation training — as postdoctoral fellows at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Maryland.
"The NIH has incredible resources; almost any project that I can dream up, the NIH has resources that will allow me to accomplish it," said Hebron, who received her PhD in Cancer Biology and will continue her training at the National Cancer Institute.
Hebron and Hollister were among 83 students who earned doctoral degrees in the biomedical sciences from Vanderbilt during the 2017-2018 academic year.
The group, which came to Vanderbilt with undergraduate degrees from 65 different colleges and universities in the United States and around the world, is highly accomplished, according to Abigail Brown, PhD, director of Outcomes Research in the Office of Biomedical Research Education and Training (BRET).
Every student was the first author on at least one scientific paper, and more than half published two or more first-author papers, Brown said. On average, graduating students published 4.8 papers as a result of their graduate work at Vanderbilt. Their research appeared in high-impact journals including Nature Genetics, Science Translational Medicine and Molecular Cell.
Nearly all of the students made presentations at national or international conferences, and 43 percent of the group had independent external fellowship funding to support their graduate studies, Brown said.
Most of the newly minted PhD graduates — 74 percent — are continuing their training with postdoctoral fellowships, Brown added. These include traditional positions in academic research laboratories as well as non-traditional industry, government and clinical fellowships. The rest have accepted or are seeking employment that does not require a prior postdoctoral fellowship, or are continuing their education in another degree-granting program.
Hebron and Hollister were made aware of non-traditional postdoctoral opportunities through the BRET Office of Career Development and its NIH-funded ASPIRE program. The ASPIRE program empowers and prepares biomedical sciences PhD students and postdoctoral scholars to make well-informed career decisions.
Hollister, who started her postdoctoral training at the National Human Genome Research Institute last summer, said she's very happy to have learned about the opportunity.
"The NIH is very supportive of postdocs; it's a great training environment," she said.
In his address to the graduates, Mark Wallace, PhD, dean of the Graduate School, stressed the importance of hope.
"It's easy to see how hope can impact larger societal and political issues," he said. "I also think hope has a powerful role to play for each of us; I would argue that hope is the wellspring of energy and creativity.


Nonprofit organizations, philanthropy and social entrepreneurs are major players in how public policy gets developed and implemented and how change occurs in our society. And, the nonprofit sector in the United States and elsewhere is rapidly expanding in terms of scope of activity, assets held, share of economic activity and the paid workforce, partnerships with the for-profit and public sectors, and policy advocacy. In the United States, the nonprofit sector encompasses more than one million organizations, represents approximately 10 percent of the workforce and is primarily funded by government resources. Annually, the sector reports trillions of dollars in revenue and assets and generates more than $400 billion dollars through donations and volunteers.
Yet training and leadership development has not kept pace with such growth, demand, and opportunity. In fact, most professionals working in the philanthropic and nonprofit sector have scant education training in leadership and management. Students of all professional interests and backgrounds will find a number of interesting career opportunities in the nonprofit sector.

Nitrate pollution comes from the nitrate used in crop fertilizers that goes to rivers and streams through drainage systems and agricultural ditches. High concentrations of nitrate in rivers and streams can be toxic to ecosystems and human health, as they may contaminate drinking water. As a result, a team of researchers from the University of Minnesota looked at strategies on how to reduce nitrate in rivers and streams more effectively.
In their study, which was published in the journal Nature Geoscience, they found that wetlands mitigate nitrate pollution in rivers and streams five times more effectively than land-based mitigation approaches.
In conducting the study, the research team used water samples gathered for more than four years from more than 200 waterways within intensively managed, 17,000-square-mile Minnesota River basin. In addition, they used geo-spatial data about land use in the watershed. The team managed to isolate the effect of wetlands on stream and river nitrate concentrations within large watersheds.
Results of the study revealed that wetlands are five times more effective per unit area at nitrate reduction compared to the best land-based conservation practices, such as cover crops and land retirement, when stream flows are high. Although other common conservation strategies are efficient at lower flow conditions, they are overwhelmed with higher stream flows.
The location of wetlands within a watershed was also found to be an essential predictor of the magnitude of nitrate removal. Wetlands are three times more efficient at nitrate reduction if they intercept 100 percent of the drainage area in comparison to that of 50 percent of the drainage area.
The researchers also found that the reduction of nitrate as a result of temporary wetlands, such as riparian floodplains and wetlands that are not connected to the river network by surface water, was measurable and was greatest in high stream flows, when such characteristics are hydrologically connected to surface water.
"Our work shows that wetland restoration could be one of the most effective methods for comprehensive improvement of water quality in the face of climate change and growing global demand for food," said study co-author Jacques Finlay, of the University of Minnesota.
Nitrates are highly soluble, which means they are easily dissolved in water. Moreover, they are colorless and odorless, thus their presence cannot be known without the use of special testing equipment. The levels of nitrates are observed in municipal water supplies and food in order to prevent exposing people to the potential dangerous harmful effects of high levels of nitrates. Nitrates can be harmful to humans because they can disrupt the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen.
Moreover, excess levels of nitrates in water can create conditions that reduce the chance of survival of aquatic insects and fish. Aquatic plants and algae need nitrates in order to grow. However, too much nitrates can also cause them to grow excessively, which in turn creates an unstable amount of dissolved oxygen. There will be high levels of dissolved oxygen during the day, while the levels of oxygen can decrease greatly at night, creating stressful conditions for aquatic species. This will adversely affect the normal behavior and reproductive ability of fish and other aquatic animals.

Design professionals, such as architects and engineers, "shall at all times recognize that their primary obligation is to protect the safety, health, property, and welfare of the public," and "shall approve and seal only those design documents that are prepared with applied technical knowledge and skills that provide safety for public health, property, and welfare in conformity with generally accepted architectural, engineering … standards," according to the Colorado Bylaws and Rules of the State Board of Licensure for Architects Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors, Rules of Conduct. As a result, design professionals are responsible for damages caused by their negligent design or related services, such as quality assurance observations during construction. Additionally, a homeowner's reliance on an engineer's written report could give rise to a misrepresentation claim.
Determination of whether design errors exist and impose liability on a design professional requires a detailed analysis of many technical documents and resources. These include construction plans, specifications, reports, applicable building codes and other standards, and state laws and state licensing board rules and regulations specific to design professionals and their services.
Our Colorado construction defect attorneys have extensive experience analyzing this information. We have worked with consulting architects and engineers to help homeowners and homeowner associations determine whether their construction defects are the result of design errors that might warrant or require claims against design professionals involved in the design and construction of their home or community. Call Burg Simpson today at 303-792-5595 or fill out our FREE Case Evaluation form now.
Architects – Architects design new homes. But these licensed professionals also supervise the execution of their designs and the actual home construction. Frequently, the architect has to make changes to their original design during the construction process. Generally speaking, the architect is responsible for three different roles: design, documentation, and construction. Design defects can arise when the architect's plans are not complete or are inaccurate.
Contractors – Contractors, or construction managers, plan and supervise new home construction. They also work closely with the architect so they can meticulously execute their original design. Design defects will emerge if that design contains flaws that the contractor either did not recognize or simply ignored. Contractors are the parties most often named in construction defect claims.
Subcontractors – Subcontractors are the employees who actually execute the contractor's orders. They are divided into specialties, such as masons, electricians, and carpenters, for example.
Intentional violations or simple noncompliance.
If your new home has design defects that threaten the value of your investment or the health and safety of your family, you need to speak with the Denver construction defect lawyers at Burg Simpson as soon as possible. Call today at 303-792-5595 for a free, no-obligation evaluation of your case.
Almost all of our representation in cases of design error is handled on a contingency fee basis. Until we recover financial compensation, you pay no attorney's fees. Please note though, that in accordance with legal ethics rules, you may be responsible for certain court costs.
Every case is different and the laws governing home building and construction defects are being tinkered with all the time, so you can't rely on anything you read here – or anywhere else – as definitive legal advice. To fully understand what your legal rights are, you have to talk to a construction defects lawyer directly about your situation.

When bitcoin's price skyrocketed last year, suddenly a bunch of people wanted to get in on the action but didn't know how. But the currency's shady origins and digital only echo-system isolated it from a whole swath of interested investors. Soon start-ups set about trying to bridge the gap between the digital and physical world, and a few stumbled on a common contraption: The ATM.
Today, Bitcoin's price is well below it's historic high, but interest in the currency remains strong, and companies are trying to bring it to more investors.
Brandon Mintz is the CEO of Bitcoin Depot, an Atlanta company that distributes Bitcoin ATMs across the country. Machines like his are the only places where you can use paper money to purchase digital currency.
Mintz's Atlanta-based company operates Bitcoin ATMs across the country. The machines are the only places where you can use paper money to purchase digital currency. There's no wait time like there is online, where an exchange can take weeks to verify your identity and banking information. All you have to do is enter your name, phone number, and scan a photo ID if your purchase is more than $2,000.
There are now more than 3,000 according to Coin ATM Radar, a website that maps them. But in the U.S., there is almost no federal or state monitoring of Bitcoin ATM transactions — which makes it hard to get a clear picture of who is feeding cash into these machines and why.
So far, New York is the only state that requires Bitcoin ATM operators to have a license. Companies like Bitcoin Depot self-report suspicious activity to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a bureau within the U.S. Treasury Department created to, "determine emerging trends and methods in money laundering and other financial crimes." But they do so without independent oversight.
The ATMs themselves cost as much as $10,000, compared to a few thousand for a regular ATM. Some let you sell Bitcoin and take cash out; most don't. Mintz estimates that his customers put tens of millions of dollars into his machines every year. Host stores can expect to make an average of a few hundred dollars a month.

"The Spare Room"
A.M. Todd
Anna had left her addictions behind.
(Think it three times for good luck.)
The thought made Anna light and weightless as she shut the door to the spare room behind her. She felt certain that the past half hour had been the last time she'd ever indulge in her habits. And tonight, she would tell Steven about her success. She would tell him she had gotten rid of her addictions, and he would be proud.
Anna left her apartment and hurried down Ninth Avenue, feeling, as she often did, a spike of fear as she merged with the crowds around her.
The streets teemed with a life that seemed on the brink of bursting, cyclists streaking by on her left, a passing subway rumbling beneath her feet. But she took comfort in the order of the city: the clean lines of skyscrapers, intersections at neat right angles, the city's grid-like structure and its rules, traffic laws and parking tickets.
She stepped on a crack in the pavement. Careless! she thought. Better count, just to be safe. One, two, three. It was only a small thing.
Steven would never know she'd done it.
As she rounded a corner, the Eight Bean Café came into view. The place where she'd met Steven. She remembered the days she'd spent watching him from behind her tablet screen at the Eight Bean, where he was a regular. When she first saw him, she'd been overwhelmed by fascination, attraction, and repulsion, all at once. She was repulsed by those dusty plaid shirts he wore, and that giant beard (she wondered if food ever got stuck in it), and those stretchy earrings in his earlobes. But she was delighted when she overheard him ordering nothing but local, gluten-free, vegan food and decaf coffee with soy, and when she saw the books he read-Sartre, Heidegger, Camus. Once, three of them were on his table at the same time, which delighted her further. (Three was her lucky number.) She couldn't stop watching him.
She'd never interacted with such a wild-looking man, and it was fascinating to observe him in his natural habitat, reading his books and occasionally meeting with other tattooed, pierced, plaid-wearing strangers to discuss politics and veganism. Everything about him looked incongruous next to her neat blazers, her tablet flashing with her Twitter feed and the financial news.
For weeks Anna watched, hiding behind her screen and hoping to lure him with significant glances. But their moment finally came. One afternoon, a rat darted from the kitchen into the Eight Bean. Anna and Steven fled outside with everyone else. When a staff member killed the rat with a broom, they bonded by exchanging their expressions of mutual outrage. People could be so disgustingly cruel. They vowed to discuss it further over craft beer. He looked just as surprised as she was to find himself sitting in a bar discussing veganism, animal rights, and politics with this suit-wearing woman. The night ended at
2:30 AM in her room, with the strange, novel feeling of that scratchy beard on her neck.
Within a month they'd talked about moving in together. The jokes her friends made about his scruffy appearance didn't bother her. He bought her three cacti, and every afternoon, she fussed over them and adjusted them on the windowsill over and over, to make sure they'd get the most possible sunlight.
"You're tense. Just relax a bit and don't worry so much," he told her once. He said that often in the ensuing days. She wanted to just relax a bit, like he said, but she didn't know how.
Anna's hands trembled as she turned onto the driveway leading to the basement suite where Steven had lived since they split up. It had been a year since she'd seen him. She could've phoned first, but she wanted to surprise him. She was wearing her sharpest blue dress and looked clean, smart, and professional. The moment he saw her in person, he would see her triumph; he would see how much better she was doing.
She knocked on the door, three times.
Nothing. No sound came from behind Steven's door.
She knocked again.
He wasn't home. The thought rang out like a bell and made her wilt.
Somehow this simple possibility had never entered into the fantasies that had filled her head all day. She'd have to come back in an hour.
The streets didn't look the same when she returned to them. They grew longer and more perplexing as her mood shifted. The city seemed to darken, and car horns blared and startled her. The clean lines of the city, its grid-like structure and its rules-they no longer felt strong enough to contain the life teeming from within. Pedestrians crowded by, pressed in from all sides, jostling her with shoulders and elbows.
Men stared at her, like they had on her way to Steven's, but this time it felt like they didn't look to admire; they watched her with suspicion, as if she were guilty of some crime.
One, two, three.
The pedestrians looked, stared, and laughed.
They looked, stared, and laughed.
Just a bit more counting to clear her head. She was still doing fine.
Her addictions were more or less behind her.
She ducked into a café, ordered a decaf soy latte, and sat by the window. It was cold outside, and night was falling, the buildings marked with yellow squares that grew in number as the sky darkened. In her mind, she watched little worries drift up and then disperse: the patch of dirt on her table; whether she'd left the stove on. For now, the fears were still indistinct. Her mind didn't grab onto them for long, and they faded without demanding much attention, floating up and drifting away. But she wondered whether the real worries would come and take her soon.
"Don't go into that room again. It isn't healthy."
She remembered Steven's voice, a year and a half ago. He stood outside the door to the spare room.
"It helps me," she said.
"It doesn't. You can stop. Please."
His face was pale and purple circles had appeared under his eyes. Last night she'd woken him three times getting up to go to the spare room. Their conversation ended in a fight. One the neighbors must've heard. He left the apartment. But an hour later, he came back with another cactus for her and apologized for getting angry. They made love, and afterwards he held her and said, "You're tense. Just relax a bit."
As Anna waited in the café, a thought began to force itself to the foreground. She hadn't washed her hands before she left her apartment.
It started as a small worry, but for her it grew and grew, until it pushed away all other thoughts. The room shrank. She felt as though she were underwater; it was hard to breathe, and pressure weighed in from every side. A pageant began to play out in her mind as it might on a stage. Fear set the backdrop, like the red curtains hanging around the stage, framing everything; then came the shame and guilt, vague forms drifting through the pageant; and scenes came in and out of focus, thrust into the foreground, then receding: she saw herself coming into the café and touching the doorknob, then the money she'd handed to the barista-she'd passed him a germ, no doubt-and above it all, in the air above the pageant, hung the impulsive desire to end the terror. To cleanse herself. To ensure safety. That desire frightened her with its intensity. It was deep and unspoken and it must be kept secret. It was shameful. Frozen, she stopped sipping her coffee when a new thought intruded.
She had touched Steven's door. The thought flooded her brain like dark water. Her mind rushed and pulled. She saw Steven pale and sick, vomiting blood, and his father with red, strained eyes. She loathed herself for the stupid, careless thing she'd done. As everything outside that thought fell away, the world became small and contracted.
Her world had been reduced to a single thought.
"I'm done with that for the day," Anna promised, shutting the door to the spare room behind her.
"Good," Steven said. "It feels like I hardly see you lately."
But later that night, she had a dream where Steven died of an illness. She jolted awake, but the dream wouldn't fade. In her mind, flowers wilted next to the bed in his hospital room, the petals withering and browning at the tips. She slipped out of bed. Steven lay on his side, breathing softly. He looked thin and vulnerable, lying there in nothing but his underwear. He'd lost weight lately. In her mind, the flowers withered, browned, and dried. One, two, three. They withered, browned, and dried. The carpet in the hallway muffled her footsteps. At the end of the hall was the door to the spare room, left ajar. She moved without sound. The petals fell from the flowers one by one in her head.
Somehow, she sensed that if she did nothing, she would be responsible if he did get sick.
Spidery cracks stretched across the wood of the door to the spare room. She pushed it open and shut it partly behind her-but not all the way in case the sound woke Steven. He'd never need to know she'd been in here. Heavy stillness filled the room. It was a storage area, and it felt separate from the rest of the apartment, scented by dust and rusted metal. Whenever she passed through the doorway it was as though she moved backwards in time. Boxes and random things cluttered up the space, but she barely saw them; she saw only the tall grandfather clock that stood against the far wall. A family heirloom. Wood twisted up and down its base, and living things were carved into it-leaves, animals, human figures-in a panoply of life and nature, but the images were frozen and unmoving. It had always struck her as unnatural for living things to be so immobilized, stuck in their wooden existence.
The pendulum on the clock was the only thing in the room that moved, shifting back and forth, its movements regular, identical repetitions. The time on the clock read 4:09. The angle made by the two hands was awkward and uneven, the minute hand sticking out on the right. The irregularity was unbearable. The room was alive with the fear she felt, visions of those dried flowers still flooding her mind. The minute hand moved to mark the change of the time, now 4:10. The movement reminded her of the convulsive twitch of a muscle. Impulsively, she reached out and moved the hour hand back to 3:00.
Then she moved the minute hand back to 12:00. The two hands were still now, arranged in a perfect right angle. A picture of symmetry, order, and certainty. One, two, three. Symmetry, order, certainty. Relief swept through her body like a drug. Her mind felt cleared, reset, wiped of those visions. Blissful certainty overwhelmed her, and she shuddered with the intensity of it.
The world came back into view, a world that had other things in it besides the image of that hospital room. A world of details. Silvery light poured through the window, and the boxes were piled up in teetering towers. She remembered that she was a person with many interests, that her favorite smell was lavender, that she loved playing Scrabble, that she ate kale salads for lunch.
A noise sounded behind her. Startled, she turned around. A figure stood in the doorway.
"Steven?"
The figure took a few steps, stepping into the beam of wintry light from the window. It was him. He looked frail and exhausted, still wearing his underwear. The outlines of his ribs showed on his sides.
"You need help," he said.
"I'm done now."
His eyes were foggy and red. He hadn't been sleeping well lately. He'd been smoking more weed than usual, then passing out and dozing fitfully; sometimes he started awake and looked beside him-she'd seen him do it when he thought she was sleeping-and then, if he saw her still lying beside him, his shoulders would relax and he'd drift off again.
"I just don't get it," he said. "You've been in and out of this room all day."
"I told you. I know it doesn't make sense. But it clears my head. I feel better."
"Isn't that just superstition?"
"I had a dream about you getting sick."
"Listen, you can control this. I know you can. This is all in your head. Just don't worry about things you can't control, and try to relax."
They fought again that night. In time, Anna sought help. They wanted her to stop resetting the clock and washing her hands and other things. But her intuition was strong. If she didn't do those things, something would happen. And she would be responsible. Besides, as she tried to explain to Steven, she was improving on her own. She was on the mend. She was going to leave the rituals behind her. They fell into a routine. She did her rituals and he caught her again and again.
"You can beat this," he said each time. "This is just in your head."
When she promised to stop, his anger drained away and left weakness and exhaustion. They went in circles. Their lives became like the movements of a wheel. Eventually, Steven packed his things into cardboard boxes, loaded them into a van, and drove away, the leaves of his plants fluttering in the back window as the vehicle disappeared.
Anna's mind fixated on the spot where she'd touched Steven's door.
She'd forgotten about the coffee she was holding. That patch on the door filled her mind as if a magnifying glass had been held up to it. It was right below the eyehole, to the left of three little dents in the paint. When she returned to Steven's, she would have to clean that door.
She made her way back outside, barely noticing the cold. Soon she would see him. She didn't want to go back to her apartment, where the rooms were too big for just herself. Nerves tightened her chest, but she was excited. She'd done a few rituals today, but he wouldn't know about those. She was most certainly doing better. She was on the mend.
She passed a few figures huddled on the sidewalk, their eyes glazed. They must be drug addicts. There were a lot of them in this neighborhood. As she walked by, their eyes didn't follow her. Their worlds had been reduced to a single thought: their next hits and how to get them.
As she descended Steven's stairwell, her heart beat quickly. She pulled out a cloth and sanitizer, wiped the spot on the door with one swift motion, and shoved the sanitizer deep into her purse, where he wouldn't see it.
The door swung open.
A medley of impressions struck her at once. He was the same. He was different. His beard hadn't changed. He had two new tattoos on his left arm. And his skin looked harder than it used to be, the lines around his eyes drawn deeper.
She had no idea what to say.
He broke the silence. "Come in."
She stepped inside and took off her heels. He brought beers for them and they sat on the couch exchanging forced small-talk about his cat and his job at the bar.
"I'm doing better now," she said when she'd gathered her courage.
"Are you?"
She strained to read his expression. There was an emotion in his face, but she didn't know what it was.
"I want to believe you," he said. "But you've said that before, many times."
Small muscles moved in his jaw, like they did when he was thinking. Slim and wired with lean muscle, his body was tense, one hand fidgeting in his lap. Around his fingernails, the cuticles were cut and red. She wished she understood the expression on his face, but it was unreadable.
"I haven't been doing well without you," he said. "Are you really better?"
As she looked at him sitting there, his thin frame hunched in a slouch, she knew that it was true, what he'd said a minute ago. He wanted to believe her. It was a good thing she'd hidden that sanitizer deep in her bag. He wouldn't go through her things, because he didn't want to find anything.
He believed her. She could tell. They folded into their weakness, and he kissed her. It felt the same as before. The same taste of cigarettes and weed smoke. That sameness, it was like the pendulum on the grandfather clock, moving back and forth, like the figures carved in its wooden base, beings that never moved or changed.
She was almost telling the truth, she thought. She'd left the spare room behind her for the most part. If she still had to sneak in there when Steven was sleeping, it wouldn't hurt. There would be life in her home again: Steven's plants back by the windows, green leaves catching the sunlight and cacti cluttering the windowsill; the noise of the coffeemaker in the morning when he woke up early; the semi-circle his arm made around her when they slept. There would be life in her home again, but the spare room would be there too, the minute and hour hands rotating around the clock, moving in slow circles.

Let H be a planar graph. By a classical result of Robertson and Seymour, there is a function f(k) such that for all k and all graphs G, either G contains k vertex-disjoint subgraphs each containing H as a minor, or there is a subset X of at most f(k) vertices such that G−X has no H-minor. We prove that this remains true with f(k)=ck log k for some constant c depending on H. This bound is best possible, up to the value of c, and improves upon a recent bound of Chekuri and Chuzhoy. The proof is constructive and yields the first polynomial-time O(log ???)-approximation algorithm for packing subgraphs containing an H-minor.
This is joint work with Wouter Cames van Batenburg, Gwenaël Joret, and Jean-Florent Raymond.
During the last decade, an active line of research in proof complexity has been the space complexity of proofs and how space is related to other complexity measures (like size, length, width, degree). Space is (roughly) how large of an erasable board one would need to show a proof line-by-line.
Here, we are interested in the space complexity of refuting 3-CNFs (formulas in conjunctive normal form with at most 3 literals per clause). We prove that a random 3-CNF with n variables requires, with high probability, Ω(n2) total space in Resolution. This is best possible up to a constant factor.
This lower bound is obtained via a variant of Hall's Lemma which may be of independent interest. Namely, we show that in bipartite graphs G with bipartition (L,R) and left-degree at most 3, L can be covered by certain families of disjoint paths, called VW-matchings, provided that L expands in R by a factor of (2-ε), for ε < 1/23.
This is joint work with Patrick Bennett, Ilario Bonacina, Nicola Galesi, Mike Molloy, and Paul Wollan.
An intertwine of two graphs G and H is a graph that has both G and H as a minor and is minor-minimal with this property. In 1979, Lovász and Unger conjectured that for any two graphs G and H, there are only a finite number of intertwines. This now follows from the graph minors project of Robertson and Seymour, although no 'elementary' proof is known.
In this talk, we consider intertwining problems for matroids. Bonin proved that there are matroids M and N that have infinitely many intertwines. However, it is conjectured that if M and N are both representable over a fixed finite field, then there are only finitely many intertwines. We prove a weak version of this conjecture where we intertwine 'connectivities' instead of minors. No knowledge of matroid theory will be assumed.
This is joint work with Bert Gerards (CWI, Amsterdam) and Stefan van Zwam (Princeton University).

7 Ways To Drive "Laser Targeted Traffic"
An affiliate marketer may have all the things needed for him to be able to succeed in a business such as affiliate marketing.
He may have the necessary drive, diligence and perseverance to be able to understand how the system works.
He may have all the tools necessary in maintaining the business, including a really unique and interesting website which could earn him a fortune if only the whole world could see it.
However, all these would prove useless if he does not know how to drive traffic to his website. His business would sink into oblivion together with all the sales, fortune and dreams that he might have realized if he only knew how to do this particular task.
Getting people who matter to see one's website is a difficult undertaking if he tries to consider the fact that there are rivals everywhere waiting to pin him down. The immensity of the internet as well as the affiliate marketing world has given birth to the fierce competition between affiliate marketers, each of whom has his own great product to offer.
With all the websites piling on top of each other, how would one be able to stand out?
The seven best ways to drive laser-targeted traffic to one's own website would help those who are bent on sticking it out with this business wherever it is bound to take them.
The third way is through writing one's own articles. This is an effective way in promoting a website, because good content that are appreciated by readers will lead them to visit the writer's very own website out of sheer interest.
The sixth is by having a list of subscribers that one can refer to every so often, because they are those which would prove to be valuable assets for the marketer concerned. The use of autoresponders and personalized newsletters is one way of keeping track of them all, and holding on to them by letting them know about new products and services is an essential task that should be done by the affiliate marketer concerned.

H. Moser & Cie's Groundbreaking New Streamliner Watch Reinvents the Chronograph
It is the first automatic chronograph with a central display and flyback function.
By Carol Besler	 on January 9, 2020
Diode SA - Denis Hayoun
The austere codes of vintage design have succeeded in almost obliterating the original aesthetic and purpose of the chronograph in recent years. In the pursuit of "clean" dials, chrono subdials have been scaled to unreadable proportions with few markings and zero lumination. But H. Moser & Cie, the king of minimalism, has found a way to put the life – and readability – back into the chronograph while gently preserving the minimalist aesthetic. The Streamliner is a new collection being launched today, and the Flyback Chronograph its debut model. "Streamliner" refers to the high-speed trains of the 1920s and '30s, according to H. Moser, but the Flyback Chrono also calls to mind the sexy curves and sleek aerodynamics of Italian sports cars.

The steel case is rigorously integrated with the bezel and bracelet, which is constructed of rows of single, horizontal wave-shaped links that are overlapped and articulated in a way that makes them resemble fish scales. It is polished in a vertical "scratched" brush finish that gives them a sense of movement and absorbs rather than reflects light. The bezel is finished in the same way, with scratchy lines that gently curve downward toward the case. The case side is highly sculpted in a complex design of alternately polished and brushed layers creating fluid lines that meander around the off-center crown and then curve again to merge flawlessly with the lines of the bracelet. It's a design that manages to be sporty and elegant at the same time in a way that few other chronograph designs have managed to achieve in the past few years. A slightly domed sapphire crystal also gives it a sporty, vintage feel. All these elements put together form a package that seems like a winner at a time when steel sports watches are at the peak of demand.

Technically, the watch was inspired by 1960s track chronographs. The dial, in typical H. Moser style, is pared down to the essentials, hiding the watch's technical merits behind a deceptively minimalist design. It has a no-nonsense central display, with seconds and minutes indexes sharing space on the main dial rather than in subdials. The outer edge of the dial is printed with jagged two-tiered index, with seconds on the outside and minutes on the inside. It serves four hands: two chronograph hands, one for the minutes and a red one for the seconds, as well as the two central time display hands for hours and minutes. The thicker hours and minutes hands are also differentiated by inserts containing Globolight, a ceramic-based material that contains Super-LumiNova. The material is a first in watchmaking. It has never before been used on hands. At 12 o'clock, the numeral 60 dominates the dial, a nod to stopwatches of the 1960s and '70s, when legibility and functionality were everything. As Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie., explains, "We started with the bracelet, and then designed this model around the chronograph function, as this was what we really wanted to highlight." Mission accomplished.
H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Flyback Automatic Chronograph Movement Diode SA - Denis Hayoun
The movement, caliber HMC 902 is new, and it is also a first. It is the first automatic chronograph with a central display and flyback function, and it was developed in partnership with the elite movement developer Agenhor exclusively for this watch. It includes two innovations. First, a mechanism that allows the elapsed minutes hand to jump instantly, which adds to the readability aspect of the watch. And it displaces the central rotor. The movement can be seen through the sapphire caseback in its entirety, despite the fact that it is automatic because the rotor, normally placed between the caseback and the movement, is situated between the movement and the dial. This means the full movement, including the column wheel mechanism are on full display without the distraction of a rotor rolling back and forth to block the view. The watch features H. Moser's signature fumé dial in anthracite gray, with a "scratched" decoration that mirrors the finish on the case and bracelet. The 42.3mm steel watch is priced at $39,900.

La Platja de El Cuerno està en el concejo de Valdés, en l'occident del Principat d'Astúries (Espanya) i pertany al poble de Bust. Està en la Costa Occidental d'Astúries, a la franja que rep la catalogació de Paisatge Protegit de la Costa Occidental d'Astúries.

Descripció
La seva forma és lineal, té una longitud d'uns 80 m i una amplària mitjana de 10 m. El jaç està format per sorres torrades gruixudes i pedres. L'entorn és pràcticament verge, els accessos són per als vianants però molt difícils i inferiors a uns 700 m.

Per accedir a ella cal arribar al proper poble de Querúas abandonant la N 634 i prendre l'adreça de Busto seguint recte en la primera corba que apareix. A continuació hi ha una fila d'arbres i continuant uns 50 m es pot albirar la platja. Donada la dificultat d'accedir a peu, tal com es va indicar, que si es decideix per aquesta modalitat cal prendre moltíssimes precaucions i portar pantalons llargs per evitar burxades i rascades de matolls diversos, el millor és accedir per mar.

Speaking on day one of the World Retail Congress 2010 in Germany Susan Aubrey-Cound, director of multi-channel development, told delegates that "there has been a big shift required in the mindset of stores teams and management in integrating the [different parts of the] business".
Helping this has been the introduction of the 'Shop Your Way' desks into its stores. These involve web-enabled kiosks that enable online orders to be placed for customers by a member of the stores teams. These have highlighted to the team just how important the online platform is to overall sales and M&S' objective of developing itself into a multi-channel retailer.
Fundamental to this has been the decision by M&S to reflect in the sales figures of each store those online orders that require in-store collection. "All of a sudden store staff could see sales increases when the customer used the online platform in-store," says Aubrey-Cound.
However, the multi-channel journey for M&S also requires a great amount of work at the back-end "tying together legacy stock systems with the dynamic of one-to-one ordering". And when this is combined with the growth of mobile commerce and the emergence of devices like the iPad then the time taken to reach then end of M&S' multi-channel journey increases. "We are two years down our three-to-four year journey but it changes all the time," admits Aubrey-Cound.

Calculated #7: FlyQuest
Slokh
This weekend during the Promotion Tournament, we will find out which two teams from each region will qualify for Season 6 of the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS). In last week's Calculated article, we looked at the European side where Team Secret are aiming to make their return into the RLCS after a dominating season in the Rival Series. Across the pond, the North American Rival Series was full of surprises with FlyQuest dominating this season after what was a lackluster Season 4. The team has shown the power of a strong duo and what a simple roster change can do to elevate them to a higher level.
Back in Season 4 of the Rival Series, FlyQuest competed under the Ambition Esports organization where they were a middle-of-the-pack team fighting to retain their spot in the league in the following season. With a strong final week of play, Ambition found wins over both Incognito and Kinematics, leaving them with a 4-3 record and fourth place in the league secured. What followed would be a stressful end to the season, which prompted the roster to make a change if they wanted any chance to qualify for the RLCS in the next season.
Percentage of Team Stats in Season 4
Air was not the player they needed in Season 4, as many times during offensive pushes he was left out of any developing plays. Air contributed to only 26.92% of the team's goals (fourth lowest) and 17.95% of the team's assists (lowest), putting him at the bottom of the league. He finished the league with the lowest Score Per Game (ScPG) at 216.92 and the lowest goal participation at 40.38%, proving that he had no well-defined role and was being underutilized by the team. On the other end of the spectrum, both PrimeThunder and Wonder had a greater percentage of the team's stats as their synergy allowed them to play off one another.
However, Rocket League is primarily a 3v3 game and it is not possible to reach a higher level of success playing with only two players. This roster has always been notable for the strong core duo of PrimeThunder and Wonder, and if they hoped to succeed they needed to find someone who could best complement their playstyle. They found exactly who they needed in the off-season with their pickup of up-and-coming player AyyJayy.
FlyQuest finished this season with a record of 6-1 at the top of the North American Rival Series standings, with their only loss being a close five-game series against Spacestation Gaming. This time around the third member on the team was included in the team's offense with AyyJayy picking up 34.21% of the team's goals and 24.19% of the team's assists. Their playstyle allowed PrimeThunder and Wonder to continue being that strong frontline, with AyyJayy rotating in when needed with his deadly accuracy leading the league at a whopping 38.81%. Having a solid third player, definitely instilled more confidence within the team as PrimeThunder would go on to lead the league in Goals Per Game (1.15) and Assists Per Game (0.96).
The true test comes this weekend as they will be facing off against RLCS team Out of Style in the first round of the Promotion Tournament. The last time these two teams met was in last season's Rival Series where Out of Style narrowly took the series in five games. Since then, FlyQuest has gotten much better and as long as they are able to continue their heavy offensive pressure and utilize every member of their team, they should be able to put on a strong showing. Both CLG and Allegiance are also strong teams and every match is sure to be exciting. Be sure to tune in this week to the RLCS Season 5 Promotion Tournament where we will find out which two teams in each region will qualify for the next season of RLCS!

Vision Quest For QB Phillip Sims
Corrective lenses could help how rookie sees the field in third-string battle
Darren Urban
Cardinals quarterback Phillip Sims throws a pass during minicamp.
Phillip Sims has worn glasses since high school, at least to drive and "see things far off," so it wasn't like the quarterback was unaware that his vision wasn't perfect.
But during a recent team physical before minicamp, the undrafted rookie quarterback found out exactly what that meant.
"The doctor actually said, 'It's amazing that you're here, with your eyesight that bad and playing quarterback on top of it,' " Sims said with a smile.
In one eye, Sims sees at 20/50 – meaning what people with perfect vision can see at 50 feet Sims needs to be only 20 feet away
to see. In his other eye, Sims' vision is 20/100. It's not ideal for anyone, and certainly not for a professional athlete whose job includes trying to fit passes into tight windows.
Sims, signed only after attending rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, is battling with incumbent Logan Thomas and Chandler Harnish for the team's third quarterback job. Thomas had been the heavy favorite to be the choice behind and Drew Stanton, but Sims got plenty of reps during offseason work -- more than expected -- and the duel going into training camp will be one to watch.
At the end of minicamp, coach Bruce Arians acknowledged he was "not really pleased" with any of the three.
"They've all got to step it up for us to have a third quarterback," Arians said.
Perhaps better vision will help Sims' quest. In college, Sims began his career at Alabama, but after getting beat out by A.J. McCarron ended up transferring to Virginia. He later transferred to Winston-Salem State. Sims said his eyesight has not been a significant issue during his football career.
"I mean, I can see people, I can see colors," Sims said. "It's just stuff that's real far off, like if I was looking at the scoreboard at the other end of the field. Sometimes it gets a little blurry. Other than that, I haven't really thought about it – maybe because I've been dealing with it for a long time so I don't really pay attention to it."
Now he is. It's an example of why pre-minicamp physicals are important. In a much more intense example for the Cardinals in 2009, defensive lineman Kenny Iwebema – thinking he was just going to have a routine checkup – found out he had a baseball-sized tumor in his chest. Iwebema quickly had surgery to remove the benign tumor, and was able to return for training camp.
Sims is expecting to get corrective lenses before the rookie workouts end this week. The idea is for Sims to get comfortable with his new world before training camp actually starts and the speed of the game comes back into play.
"The doctor was like, 'Two things can happen: You can do the corrective lenses and it can make you that much better, or it can freak you out because you're not used to seeing so much stuff,' " Sims said, again grinning. "They want to test me out to see how I respond to it."

'Thanks for the memories' - The Enemy fans react to band split
Coventry music fans have their say after popular city rock band announce break-up
James RodgerAdvanced Content Writer
The Enemy perform at The Empire, Coventry
Fans of Coventry rock band The Enemy have reacted to the news that the three-piece will split up at the end of their upcoming tour.
The band will play six farewell shows, with details yet to be confirmed, after a ten-year career which has seen them top the charts with their debut album, We'll Live and Die in These Towns, as well as selling millions of records and playing the world's biggest stadiums.
Tom Clarke penned a heartfelt farewell letter to fans on Coventry nightclub The Empire's Facebook page, with the announcement coming just months after the trio released their fourth album, It's Automatic.
Tom writes: "10 years, 4 albums, well over 1,000,000 record sales and uncountable sell out tours is not too shabby for an alternative indie band, but these numbers aren't what makes me proud personally, the fans are.
"They drove this band, they provided the fire for this decade long journey.
"I have always loved them and I always will.
"They've kept me going at times when I thought nothing else might.
"To all Enemy fans, I adore you."

The fans responded in kind, taking to social media to thank the band after a decade-long career which has given them huge highs.
You can see the best of the reaction below.
What are your memories of The Enemy?
Leave a comment at the bottom of the article and have YOUR view heard.
Sid Wilson: "Gig at Godiva Festival just before your first album was released was off-the-scale. Left some decent anthems to be remembered by too. Thanks!"
Matty Spence: "Reading this has just gutted me! The Enemy are the band that got me to pick up a guitar and made a future in music seem do-able. I've seen you guys live close to 19 times. Absolutely fantastic band and it's a crime It's Automatic didn't get the play it deserved! It's an incredible album. Thank you for everything you have done for my generation of musicians."
Richard Cruise: "Four fantastic albums, such a shame, thanks for many happy memories, the two sell out gigs at the Ricoh Arena been the highlight for me, good luck for the future, Tom Andy and Liam..."
Paul Town: "Absolutely gutted lads, really proud to have seen you numerous times and to have met you all as well. Proud that my hometown was put back on the map once more by a quality band."
John Dillam: "Good effort boys... proud of you and how you always promoted OUR city as well. You made some of the best indie rock records I've got and you were always on the ball."
Simon Ward: "Thanks for the passion."
Tom Montgomery: "Gutted but it's understandable. People don't buy records like they used to and radio is only interested in Justin Bieber. Thanks for the memories and see you down the front."
Jake Powell: "Thank you for the good times. We'll live and die in these towns..."
Matt Newsome: "Good luck lads, great songs will last forever."
Andy Magill: "Fellas you put Coventry back on the map and provided the energy and realism in your music that touched part of British culture back then and definitely in the future ...the musical landscape may change but true music with depth and meaning will always be respected."
Robbie Stowers: "Are and always will be one of my favourite bands. Gigs like no other especially when in Coventry. We'll live and die, see you down front. The music industry kills real talent and this is a prime example."
Kirsty Russell: "Really sad to read this, your last album is amazing. I hope there is a place for you all in music in the future, you have too much talent to not be in the industry in some way."
Chris Haden: "Sad to see the end of a brilliant, local band, one of the best live bands I've had the pleasure of seeing. Good luck in the future whatever it may hold for you lads."
Matt: "Absolutely gutted. The music industry is in a sad place and now it's all the more sad. Have been proud to follow you guys from the early days in the side room of the Colosseum and will bloody miss you! At least we'll still have the memories..."
