WHAT THE DINK?
Why a Pickleball Glove?
Sure, pickelball has a lot of rules. But not one of them requires you to wear a glove. So what gives? If you're paying attention, you'll see gloves becoming a more and more popular choice as pickleball accessories on the courts these days.
So why would someone wear a glove in the first place?
Players recommend gloves for quite a few reasons. A pickleball paddle grip can becomes pretty slippery as you play harder and sweat more. Some try new tackier grips, but others have figured out that gloves actual deliver exactly the right amount of performance. Not only do gloves help with increasing that grip, they adding needed cushioned support and also assist with reduced paddle vibration and lessening hand fatigue. This means as you play harder, you're actually playing smarter as well.
There are a lot of choices on the market. But you'll be surprised, very few of those choices are actually designed for pickleball. Players are forced into wearing gloves for sports like racquetball and golf. This is why Aerow Sports went head on with pickleball, to develop the most sophisticated pickleball glove on the market. So when it comes to improving your game on the pickleball court, we'll tell you what to look for in both materials and design.
What to look for in a glove.
Cabretta leather is a great glove material for its breathability, durability, light weight and comfort. While this material is great and sturdy for the palm of the glove, it should be used in combination with a more flexible and breathable material for the upper.
Mesh or spandex makes for a very nice upper material. Adding flex around the knuckles and fingers where most movement happens. The benefits of mesh also include the ability of a more tailored and ergonomic fit.
Fit is one of the most important aspects to finding the right glove. Other sports, like golf, do not offer the proper tailored fit or cushioned support for a raquet-based sport like pickleball. Bunching in the palm affects the feel of the paddle and comfort. For this reason, an ergonomic design is recommended that follows both the curve of the palm as well as adding flex points where it bends.
Because our hands are all different, there is no such thing as "one size fits all". To fit like a glove, sizing needs to be measured properly to achieve maximum benefits in performance.

DAYTONA BEACH – The Daytona Beach Half Marathon returns to the Budweiser Speedweeks lineup in 2014. Scheduled for Sunday, February 16, the sixth annual Daytona Beach Half Marathon, hosted by Volusia County, Daytona International Speedway and the Central Florida Sports Commission will take place one week before the 56th annual "The Great American Race" – the Daytona 500.
Registration will open on Wednesday, April 17, with the advanced entry fee for the Daytona Beach Half Marathon set at $85 per person. The half marathon will start at 6:30 am, just hours after The Sprint Unlimited At Daytona finishes up under the lights on Saturday night, and lead into DAYTONA 500 Qualifying Presented By Kroger on Sunday afternoon.
The integration of the race into Budweiser Speedweeks, once again allows organizers to further incorporate the racing theme into the already unique event. In addition, it enables many from the NASCAR community to participate. Included in the nearly 1,400 runners that registered for the 2013 event were four NASCAR drivers (Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, Michael Waltrip and Aric Almirola) and more than a dozen other team members.
The Daytona Beach Half Marathon's route, named one of the seven most scenic half marathons in America by Active.com, features one of the most unique courses in the running world. With the legendary pavement and historic grandstands of Daytona International Speedway serving as the backdrop, runners will start on pit road and run the first two miles on the track. The course then winds through the streets of Daytona Beach, finally reaching "The World's Most Famous Beach" at approximately the 7.1 mile mark. Runners will then run on the beach for approximately two-tenths of a mile, getting an unobstructed view of the ocean as the sun rises on the beautiful horizon. Returning to the roads of Daytona Beach, runners then head back to the Speedway for the finish and a trip to Gatorade Victory Lane.
"We are really excited about the 2014 Daytona Beach Half Marathon and believe it will be even bigger than ever," said Volusia County Manager Jim Dinneen. "Last year, we added new features like running on a stretch on the beach while the sun is rising, and we incorporated car racing themes throughout the route, which really connected the runners not only to our great history but the diversity and beauty of our area."
New for 2014, race organizers will also incorporate a shorter distance race, as well as a Kids Race into the half marathon race weekend. Details associated with the additional race and Kids Race, including distance, dates, times and registration information, will be released in the coming months.
Each half marathon participant will receive a race-themed tech shirt, finisher's medal, post-race party, personalized race bib, and a ticket to DAYTONA 500 Qualifying Presented By Kroger. Included in the DAYTONA 500 Qualifying Presented By Kroger ticket is access to Sprint FANZONE which provides an up-close look at the NASCAR garages and inspection areas as teams prepare for the race. Photo opportunities with race cars and other NASCAR-related items will be available before, during and after the race. The half marathon is open to runners and walkers, at least 12 years of age or older, who can complete the course in less than 3 hours and 30 minutes.

SBP jacks up key interest rate by 100 basis points
Central bank revises up inflation forecast to 11-12% for ongoing fiscal year
By Salman Siddiqui
KARACHI: In line with market expectations, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Tuesday raised the key interest rate by 100 basis points to an eight-year high of 13.25% over apprehensions of increase in inflation, especially in the first half (July-December) of the current fiscal year 2019-20.
The inflation is expected to accelerate due to recent rupee depreciation against the US dollar and the hike in gas price. Moreover, a possible increase in electricity tariff next month and the impact of measures taken in the budget FY20 to boost tax collection could also fuel inflationary pressure in the short-to-medium run.
"The inflationary pressure is expected to recede in second half of the fiscal year," SBP Governor Reza Baqir said at a news-conference on Tuesday. He gave an impression that the worst in the economy would be over in the first half and that it would gear up to return to the good days from the second half (January-June 2020).
The projected the economic growth rate at is slightly higher than the nine-year low of 3.3% recorded in the preceding fiscal year 2018-19. "SBP expect the real GDP (gross domestic product) growth of around 3.5% in FY20," he said.
He said that bulk of the needed adjustments in rupee-dollar exchange rate and key interest rate are seemed done. However, emergence of unforeseen factors in the future may make the central bank to adjust its fiscal and monetary policies, accordingly.
"The bulk of the needed adjustment in the real effective exchange rate to address the past overhang of overvaluation has been completed with the recent deprecation of the exchange rate," Baqir said. "While the exchange rate is flexible and market determined the SBP stands ready to take action to address disorderly market conditions in the foreign exchange market."
Moreover, with the decision of 100 basis points hike in key interest rates, the monetary policy committee (MPC) was of the view that "the adjustment related to interest rates and the exchange rate from previously accumulated imbalances has taken place," he said. "The real interest rates…are at appropriate levels, considering the cyclical weakening of aggregate demand," he said.
Going forward, the MPC will be ready to take action depending on economic developments and data outturns. Unanticipated increases in inflation that adversely affect the inflation outlook may lead to further modest tightening.
"On the other hand, a greater than expected softening in domestic demand and downward revision in projected inflation would provide grounds for easing monetary conditions," the SBP governor said.
The central bank has increased the key interest rate by 7.5% since January 2018. Baqir said that the rate hike will benefit people, who have parked savings in saving accounts at banks and/or in national savings schemes. "The interest rate hike will help control dollarisation in the economy. People will prefer to keep savings in rupee rather than in dollars."
Baqir maintained that the monetary policy committee expects average inflation at 11–12% in FY20 – higher than the previous projection. "Nevertheless, inflation is expected to fall considerably in FY21 as the one-off effect of some of the causes of the recent rise in inflation diminishes," he said. "The government has also committed to cease borrowing from the State Bank that would qualitatively improve the inflation outlook," he said.
Elaborating the expected improvement in economic growth in FY20, Baqir said the growth is expected to turnaround in the course of the year on the back of improved market sentiments in the context of International Monetary Fund's (IMF) supported loan programme worth $6 billion, a rebound in the agriculture sector and the gradual impact of government incentives for export-oriented industries.
Current account deficit reined
External conditions show continued steady improvement with a sizeable reduction in the current account deficit which fell by 29.3% to $12.7 billion in Jul-May FY19 as compared to $17.9 billion during the same period last year.
This improvement was primarily driven by import compression and healthy growth in workers' remittances. Export volumes have been growing even though export values have remained subdued due to a fall in the unit prices as also experienced by competitor exporting countries.
"Future developments in export performance will also depend on growth rates of our trading partners and progress in alleviating domestic structural impediments," Baqir said.
However, the outlook for external financing has further strengthened with the disbursement of the first tranche associated with the IMF Extended Fund Facility, activation of the Saudi oil facility, and other commitments of support from multilateral and bilateral partners.
Moreover, "the sentiment towards emerging markets has improved with greater expectations of a policy rate cut in the United States," he said.

Q: Bootstrap css issue when using with box-sizing, bootstrap input box and icon not aligned correctly In my existing css I have box-sizing styles.
*,
*:before,
*:after {
      -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
      -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
      box-sizing: border-box; }

Including bootstrap into the project I come to know display of input box and icons using bootstrap is not correct. Investigating through fiddler I come to know it is because of above styles. Please see display of bootstrap styles:
In IE:

In FF:

Below is my html code which use bootstrap styles:

        <input id="handle" type="text" placeholder="Twitter Handle">

Start date

        <input class="span2" size="16" value="@Model.StartDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") " readonly="readonly" type="text">

My Findings
I tried removing  box-size styles and bootstrap things were fixed but there was another issue. I started getting horizontal scroll bar in my web pages.
I have a little understanding of css but unfortunately I am not able to fix it as I just started Bootstrap 2 days ago. Can you please help me shooting this trouble.
Thanks a lot for your time, guidance and helping me out.

A: By seeing your picture: It's not box-sizing problem but input field space is appearing as different browsers have different style by default. So you should try using margin: 0; padding: 0; for input fields
Also defining the height may help you. And apply display inline or inline-block or table-cell for those elements and align it vertically to top or middle.

A: It was boxing sizing issue, for some fields I had to set it to content-box.

These are the partial lyrics to the smash hit by the late legendary soul singer Ben E. King, Stand By Me (1961).
Regardless of what you think about McCarthy, we, as Republicans, should never allow the Democrats to attack one of our own; and Republicans should never adopt the same language of our opposition.
I watched in horror as many Republicans sided with Democrats in their reaction to what McCarthy said; it got so bad that McCarthy was forced to apologize for his remarks. My sister may be a drunk, but I will not allow you call her that.
As one who makes his living through communications, I am dumbfounded as to how Republicans allowed the Democrats to win the narrative over McCarthy's remarks. For the sake of discussion, let's assume that the Benghazi investigation is all about the "vast right-wing conspiracy" against Hillary Clinton.
Last time I checked, Republicans don't control the F.B.I. or the inspectors general of the State Department or the intelligence communities. They are the ones who are investigating whether Clinton violated any laws, not Republicans.
So, the issue is not and should not be about McCarthy's Benghazi remarks, but rather did Clinton break the law by mishandling classified information because she was arrogant enough to use a private email server in her home to avoid the public ever finding out about her and Bill's private business dealings.
Message to Republicans, "Don't let Hillary off the hook under the guise of being non-partisan." If Clinton had obeyed the law and followed her department's own guidelines, then we would not be talking about her emails. She is not a victim, but rather the perpetrator.
Clinton brought this on herself and the Democratic Party. She will and should be held accountable for exercising poor judgement because of her irrational belief that everyone is out to get her.
Democrats are obsessively loyal to their own. It took them forever to denounce Bill Clinton publically over the Monica Lewinsky affair. They even stood by former congressman Anthony Weiner and his sexting problem until public pressure became too great.
The point is very clear, we must not turn Hillary into a sympathetic figure. We need to learn how to do a better job of standing by our own. If you are a public speaker, at some point you are going to say something that you wish could be taken back; it's just part of life.
I think McCarthy's remarks should have been dealt with privately within the party; but publically we should have hammered in on the theme of Hillary's poor judgement regarding the private email server. She will not be the Democratic nominee, but we should not let the American people forget how her campaign has come to this point—by her own bad judgement.
She does not have the judgement to be president of the United States because America's interest will always be subservient to the interests of the Clintons' business interests. Can you say Whitewater or the Rose Law Firm? This is where I take my stand.

Therefore, we can describe relationship marketing as an important factor that leads to effective communication and customer relationship management (CRM), which educates us on long-term customer engagements. Modern businesses promote customer loyalty instead of concentrating on short-term goals, which can be illustrated at a granular level as just individual sales or singular customer procurements. Relationship marketing strategy seeks to develop a secured relationship with the customers by providing them direct information that caters to their individual interests and needs. Hence, relationship marketing encourages open communication in an active form.
In other words, for all those who seek to understand what is relationship marketing, it can be said that this type of marketing strategy refers to everything you do to develop a lifelong strong relationship with your brand admirers and customers.
The tools used for encouraging relationship marketing strategy starts from building influencer programs to referral campaigning and affiliate marketing, which helps you to position your brand as the best option for your customers to cling on.
According to RealResultMarketing survey, for some companies relationship marketing resulted in 1% increase in their customer retention over each of their next 10 years, cumulating to a 20% growth in their annual earnings.
Lessen acquisition costs– Your Company requires fewer promotions and so your business can run with a smaller sales force.
Long-term basic profits- Core customers over the years provide a continued income on basic purchases.
Growth in revenue- As core customers spend more time on your brand, their lifetime value increases proportionally.
Lessen operating costs- Long-term customer makes fewer service and administrative demands.
Customer referrals- Satisfied customers refer and introduce another good customer to your brand.
Premium pricing- Long-term satisfied customers are less finicky about prices, so you make better profits.
How should you do relationship marketing?
Relationship marketing can involve changing major aspects of the way your company conducts its business with the customers. In fact, in certain instances, relationship marketing strategy implementation can be time-consuming, expensive, and can have serious consequences for both the customers and your brand. So before adopting relationship marketing strategies for your business, you must plan in a thoughtful and effective way, and that means abiding by a comprehensive marketing plan.
For this, primarily look at your buyer's demography and their historical data, to understand who your customers are, what they buy, and measure how and what your brand can cater to them in the long term. You must also understand the reasons as to why consumers return to you for repeat businesses.
Although many of us have a tendency to assume that customers return because you served them well, but it can also be that the customers who return to you, come back because your store is closest to their neighborhood, or you are the only one selling the products and services they want to buy. Either way, analyzing the nature of the customer loyalty is the best method to work upon while developing a working relationship marketing plan.
If you are using a CRM, you can easily find a wealth of customer data in place and can begin by segmenting this customer information and thereafter develop unique marketing strategies for each segment of your customers in the list.
Remember, a customer who purchased or repurchased your products or services by appreciating your product value has a different quest than the one who bought from you since he liked your customer service experience.
So as customers can be loyal for different reasons, hence, tailor your market relationship strategies for each segment of your customers in a different way.
Now that you know what is relationship marketing, once the marketing strategy is implemented, evaluate constantly to determine its success. Companies use several metrics to measure whether they are holding on to their customers.

Fans Favorite Set To Complete SHOCK Arsenal Move
12th July 2016 - by Harry
According to reports, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has turned down an offer from former France international forward and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry to work for the club for free with Henry set to become the latest in a long line of ex-players to start his coaching career elsewhere.
The Arsenal legend was offered a coaching job at Arsenal's Under-18s by Andries Jonker, head of the academy, only to be personally overruled by the Arsenal boss.
Not minding the legend's statue sitting outside the Emirates Stadium, the French man joins the likes of Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Marc Overmars and, most recently, Mikel Arteta in taking up a coaching role, away from manager Wenger and Arsenal.
The Ex-footballer turn pundit has completed his A licence coaching qualification while working with Arsenal's kids, and must now coach a team to earn his Uefa pro licence and had hoped to do so with the Ersenal Under-18s.
The boss has reportedly told 'Titi' that a coaching position with the Arsenal Under-18s must be a full-time role and cannot be combined with his work as a pundit for Sky television.
Report has it that Henry responded by offering to work with Under-18s coach Kwame Ampadu for free, while still fulfilling his Sky obligations as a pundit, but Wenger turned him down.
It was also believed that Henry's offer to coach the club's strikers was also rejected by the 66-year-old gaffer.
According to reliable sources around Arsenal, it is believed that Wenger does not want anybody at the club's training ground who may be set to challenge him or be seen as a possible threat to his position in the future.
This may not be unconnected with comments Henry made on Sky last season, claiming he had never seen the Arsenal fans so unhappy, even though Henry has always been supportive of his old manager.
Arsene Wenger's snub has left the Arsenal legend having to look elsewhere to complete his pro licence and the Frenchman is thought to be considering a number of offers from the Premier League and abroad.

With a century-long tradition for trade and commerce, the Hala Koszyki market hall was opened in 1908 on Koszykowa Street in Warsaw, Poland. Known as the 'People's Bazaar', the Art Noveau-style building endured numerous social and political changes throughout its storied history. Between 2009 and 2016, Hala Koszyki was remodeled entirely according to a design by Polish star architects JEMS Architekci. Since its grand reopening in autumn 2016, Hala Koszyki has emerged as a major attraction for food connoisseurs in the Polish capital. The remodeled building retains some of the architectural layout of the historic original while offering international flavors in a variety of restaurants, bars, and food shops, plus several office spaces in a premium ambiance. Retail solutions Bosch received the contract as a one-stop supplier with a strong track record in large-scale retail solutions Providing integrated security for Hala Koszyki called for a vendor that could solve three key challenges: First, the security system needed to blend in with the market's stylish interior without attracting attention. Second, shop and restaurant personnel as well as office workers required specific access privileges to otherwise restricted areas. And third, building operators wanted a customisable system to meet the specific demands of Hala Koszyki's shops, cafes, offices, parking spaces and other areas. Bosch received the contract as a one-stop supplier with a strong track record in large-scale retail solutions, also including the high-profile New Union Square shopping center and office tower in Downtown Warsaw. The experts equipped Hala Koszyki with video security, intrusion alarm, and access control systems.

Some Expert Panel Roundtable topics are more challenging than others. Occasionally a question will "stump" the panel – i.e., no one will choose to answer it. Other times, only one or two panellists will step forward to answer a question. One comment does not a "panel" make. Taken together, however, these varied comments offer their own range of insights into the evolving physical security market. Let's look at some of these assorted Expert Panel comments over the last several months. Better to post them here than have them lost to posterity!

Announcement from the Dean on Stage 4 Covid Recovery plans
Written on 23/07/2021
Monday was called by many 'freedom day', but as it approached it became apparent that 'freedom' might not have been the right word. For some of us, a lowering of protection meant fear and uncertainty, especially as in some places there has been a recent rise in the number of infections.
Here in Derby Cathedral we have considered the matter carefully and paid close attention to government guidelines and also the Church of England's own guidelines. We have tried to balance the freedom which we all look forward to with caution, taking account of our own thorough risk analysis. We have adopted a prudent approach that comes into being immediately, one that will help us all to keep safe.
So what will be different? You will no longer require a temperature check, although we still ask that you sanitise your hands, use the NHS Test and Trace app or complete a form for contact tracing purposes. Everyone is encouraged to still wear a face mask whilst walking around the building, but these can be lowered whilst seated. Social distancing will now be at 1m, which in practice means every other pew will be in use, this increases the capacity of the building slightly so whilst the 10.45am Sunday Eucharist Service is still available for booking on Eventbrite, we will be able to accommodate more walk-ins at the Service.
A piece of good news! The congregation is able now to join in the singing. We are going to sing two hymns at our main Sunday service and you can choose whether you sing with your mask on or off. When we receive Holy Communion you will need to put your mask on and the person who brings you communion will also wear their mask as they pass over the wafer.
For the moment, we will continue to offer Communion in one kind and also for the moment we will continue with the current means of exchanging peace in a socially distant manner.
The safety of us all is of paramount importance and we will review the lifting of restrictions as the weeks go by or if there are any government or Church of England changes.

Clarion Workshop Holds Talk with George R.R. Martin, Kim Stanley Robinson
May 10, 2017 Promita Nandy
"A Song of Ice and Fire" author George R. R. Martin and "Mars" trilogy author Kim Stanley Robinson discussed their books and the fields of fantasy and science fiction literature at a talk at UC San Diego on Tuesday, May 2. Clarion Workshop's faculty director Shelley Streeby moderated the talk. The proceeds will be used to support the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers' Workshop at UCSD.
George R. R. Martin is a former instructor of the Clarion Workshop, alongside other notable authors such as Neil Gaiman and Jeff Vandermeer. The workshop is held during the summer and comprised of only 18 students who are selected from hundreds of applicants. The students work with the instructors to improve their skills as story writers.
Kim Stanley Robinson, referred to as "Stan" during the event, is a graduate of UCSD as well as the Clarion Workshop. He was also a former instructor for the workshop. Robinson and many of the other graduates of the workshop have gone on to win Hugo and Nebula awards for their works.
The conversation on Tuesday began as a discussion on the current state of fantasy and science fiction literature and the relationship between the two genres. Both authors agreed that science fiction and fantasy stories have become more widely accepted in the last few decades but acknowledged that there was still more progress to be made.
"Things have changed for the better in terms of science fiction writing but [the change] is not complete," Martin explained.
On the topic of the relationship between science fiction and fantasy, Martin, a prominent fantasy writer, compared the two subjects to flavors of ice cream.
I believe that science fiction and fantasy are both flavors of the same thing," Martin told the audience. "They're like chocolate and strawberry ice cream: They're both ice cream, and they both taste good."
Robinson pointed out that the distinction between science fiction and fantasy is not clear and is up to the interpretation of society and the reader.
"For instance, time travel is called science fiction, but it's actually fantasy because we can't actually time travel," Robinson described.
The authors also talked about the impact on audiences and stories when books make the transition to media. Although Martin has a hugely successful TV adaption of his series "A Song of Ice and Fire," he still regrets that a lot of the characters and plots from the books could not be taken to the show because there were simply not enough resources and time to fit them in. Robinson agreed and explained that although he had tried to talk to producers about making his books into a show or a movie, he hadn't found a way to bring his books justice.
"I would like if [people trying to do adaptations] of 'Mars' had read it," Robinson said. "A lot of times they haven't even read the series."
The event ended with a question and answer session from the audience. Earl Warren College senior Anish Shandilya told the UCSD Guardian that he especially enjoyed the audience question about whether the authors got into character when they were writing.
"My favorite part was when George R. R. Martin enlightened the public on how he takes on various roles of characters in his stories, and how his mood affects how he writes about interactions with other characters," Shandilya said.
Revelle College junior Varun Sreekumar said he enjoyed the questions written by the event organizers but didn't like the audience question and answer portion as much.
"My favorite part was when they were discussing the advancement of science fiction and fantasy and how its role changed over time," Sreekumar elaborated. "But I felt like the Q&A questions weren't really conducive to any discussion and were just quick answers that didn't really add much."
Both George R. R. Martin and Kim Stanley Robinson agreed that the science fiction and fantasy genres have become more diverse over time in terms of the types of stories told and the types of characters included.
"The field has diversified so much in terms of genres," Robinson told the audience. "It's also becoming more diverse ethnically and sexually," Martin added.
At the end of the talk, Robinson reminded the audience that the future of science fiction is not in just in books but also reflected in our lives.
"We are all living in a science fiction novel that we are all co-writing called reality," Robinson concluded.

ATLANTA (AP) – Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt will not settle for mediocre defense, so he continues to challenge his players' efficiency.
"If it's about playing hard and being an also-ran, we're good enough right now," Hewitt said after the 21st-ranked Yellow Jackets beat Penn State 77-73 in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday night.
Lewis Clinch scored 20 points and Anthony Morrow's late free throws sealed the win.
The Yellow Jackets (6-1), coming off an 88-73 loss to now-No. 1 UCLA in the title game of the EA Sports Maui Invitational last week, never put away Penn State after Jeremis Smith's five-footer gave them a 69-61 lead with 3:24 remaining.
Jamelle Cornley led the Nittany Lions (4-2) with 20 points. Ben Luber, who added nine assists, hit two straight 3-pointers, the last coming with 44.4 seconds remaining, to keep Penn State close.
Danny Morrissey's 3 from the left wing cut the lead to 74-71 with 21.1 seconds remaining.
Morrow, whose two foul shots ended the scoring with 8.2 seconds left, gave Georgia Tech a 67-59 lead by hitting a wild 3 from the left corner as the shot clock almost expired near the four-minute mark.
The Nittany Lions had to monitor the minutes of Geary Claxton, who came off the bench in just his second game since returning from a broken hand. Claxton had 30 starts in each of the last two seasons and averaged 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds as a sophomore.
In 28 minutes, Claxton had 12 points and six rebounds. His layin with 3:58 remaining cut the lead to 67-61.
Clinch and Morrow each went 4-for-8 from behind the arc.
Morrow finished with 15 and Javaris Crittenton added 14.
Hewitt wants Clinch to take a different approach to basketball.
The Nittany Lions fell to 1-16 against ranked opponents under DeChellis. Now in his fourth season at Penn State, DeChellis has a 5-28 overall road record.
Georgia Tech's Thaddeus Young, a highly regarded freshman averaging 14.2 points and 4.5 rebounds, was not in uniform and missed his first game because of patellar tendinitis.
Hewitt hopes Young will recover in time for the team's Atlantic Coast Conference opener at Miami on Sunday.
Hewitt used a three-guard lineup with Mario West making his first start of the season.

Not every game should come to Nintendo's Switch platform, especially Rockstar's biggest game yet.
In a recent interview with Forbes, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime talked about the possibility of RDR2 on the Switch. Fils-Aime said he'd love to see Red Dead Redemption 2 on the Switch, and one of the main reasons it's not on the system is because it was in dev before the Switch itself. This prompted lots of articles divulging somewhat misleading info that RDR2 could've come to the Switch in the first place. But it's very likely the game was never planned for a Switch release. Bringing the Western to the limited handheld-console would be quite an undertaking, so much that it really just doesn't fit the system (both technically and literally).
There's many reasons why big games like Red Dead Redemption 2 shouldn't come to the Switch, but for clarification's sake we'll be talking about why Rockstar likely won't adapt their cowboy adventure to the platform. Let me preface this by saying this is an opinion-style article based around what I know about Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive's business model, and I'm not knocking the Nintendo Switch. Many games have come to the system--and many more will follow--but not every AAA title has a place on the handheld combo.
First off we have the biggest reason: Red Dead Redemption 2 was built from scratch for the current console generation. This of course includes the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 family of consoles.
The decision to tackle consoles first is a two-fold business opportunity: consoles have a huge install base and represent most of Take-Two Interactive's earnings, and it gives Rockstar a platform to test out its massive Red Dead Online framework. The latter is very, very important for Take-Two and Rockstar, and remains yet another reason why RDR2 probably won't come to Switch (more on that later).
For example, Take-Two made $372,240 million in FY Q2'19 from consoles, or 76% of total platform split earnings. PC pulled in just $120,427 million.
Even if the Switch were in development during RDR2's principal work, it's highly likely the developer would pass on the system. The Switch's limited Tegra X1 hardware simply doesn't have the horsepower required to spin Red Dead Redemption 2's Western magic. The game was built to tap the full brunt of today's console hardware, whether it be a stock PS4 or the beastly Xbox One X, pushing each respective system to its limits to show off the massively detailed world.
Red Dead Redemption 2's world is probably the most incredibly detailed in-game environment that I've ever seen. There's so much emphasis on visuals and realism, from the shadows and lighting to animal behaviors and richly-designed towns and natural landscapes, the game shines with passion and care. All of this was made possible by Rockstar's talented team who built a game specifically for two console platforms.
Even on more powerful console hardware the game has FPS dips here and there and is capped at 30FPS. How would it even run on the Switch? There'd have to be significant trade-offs and development sorcery to get a huge game like RDR2 running on the Switch platform in a stable way, which could ultimately mar the experience and take away from Rockstar's grand vision.
Switch ports are often compromised in certain ways, whether it be technical, conceptual, or feature-related. There's typically trade-offs involved when a big game is ported to the system, which is to be expected given its hardware power disparity. Because of this alone I think there's a very, very slim chance bigger games like GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2 will ever come to the system.
What's more is that the Switch runs games at lower performance when on-the-go, which would impact gameplay even more. When docked the Switch's Tegra X1 is amped up to provide more power, sometimes hitting 1080p 60FPS in certain games. While in handheld mode the Switch typically runs games at 720p ~30FPS or thereabouts.
Given the work that'd be involved and the compromises that must be made, bringing Red Dead Redemption 2 to the Switch is simply not worth it.
Also there's RDR2's huge install size. The game requires two discs to play on PS4 and Xbox One, and takes up a whopping 89GB on PS4. It was so big it took over 90 minutes to install on my console. This simply isn't feasible for a portable console, even if it were scaled back in size. And if it were scaled back in size, that means the content could be cut or the visuals could be downgraded in some way--something that Rockstar really doesn't want to do.
Furthermore, RDR2 is selling quite well on PS4 and Xbox One as it is.
It's already a huge revenue earner in full game sales alone with $725 million earned in just 3 days. The biggest incentive to bring the game to Switch is to sell more units, but the dev and production costs along with the possible performance impact is likely seen as a detrimental trade-off for more sales.
Last but not least we have another huge reason RDR2 doesn't belong on the Switch: the system's online framework simply isn't stable enough for long-term monetization in the scale Rockstar and Take-Two have in mind.
Red Dead Online, RDR2's GTA Online-like multiplayer mode, is perhaps the game's biggest asset insofar as wider revenues. Take-Two has earned over $1 billion from GTA Online's microtransactions since its release, and the publisher obviously wants to try this out in RDR2 (Rockstar is also in favor of RDO because it gets bonuses and makes more money via live services).
Now I have no way of knowing if Nintendo's Switch Online infrastructure could even handle Red Dead Online or not, so when I say the framework isn't stable enough, I mean as a whole and not necessarily technically. We've heard bits and pieces about non-dedicated P2P servers causing lag and some issues in certain games, but then again huge titles like Warframe have crossed over to the Switch.
Remember the Switch install base, while at a respectable 22.86 million units sold as of September 30, is still eclipsed by the PS4's and Xbox One's. This simply means there's likely to be less people playing Switch games online than there are on Xbox and PS4. And if there's less people playing online, there will be less people playing Red Dead Online, and more importantly, less people to monetize with optional in-game purchases.
It's important to keep all of these things in mind when asking publishers for Switch ports. Gaming is a billion dollar business, but those billions didn't happen by accident, but with careful observation, planning, and maintenance of specific lucrative segments like service games.
Take-Two and Rockstar are masters at their respective crafts (monetization and game development) so if it doesn't make sense to bring a game to a platform in a business frame of mind, it probably won't happen.
From where I sit, RDR2 just has no place on the Nintendo Switch. Maybe when Nintendo grows the install base and beefs up the console's power with a Supplemental Computing Device add-on box or GeForce Now servers we'll see specific demanding games cross over.


Hilf al-Fudul (Arabic: حلف الفضول) was a 7th-century alliance created by the Islamic prophet Muhammad and various Meccans, to establish justice for all through collective action, even for those who had no connections to the powerful. Because of Muhammad's role in its formation, the alliance plays a significant role in Islamic ethics. Because fudul commonly means "virtuous" the alliance is often translated as League of the Virtuous.
In the years preceding the pact, the Quraysh were involved in intermittent conflict. The war, as usual, was a result of an unsettled murder. The effect was growing discontent with the form of justice that required sacrilegious war. Many Quraysh leaders had travelled to Syria, where they found relative justice prevailed. Similar conditions also existed in Abyssinia. No such system, however, existed in Arabia.
Following the Fijar War, the Quraysh realized that the deterioration of their state and the loss of Mecca's prestige in Arabia were the result of their inability to solve disagreements, creating internal division.
It is believed to have been founded by Az-Zubayr ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib.
A Yemeni merchant from Zabid had sold some goods to a notable member of the clan of Sahm. Having taken possession of the goods, the man from Sahm refused to pay the agreed price. The wrong doer knew very well that the merchant had no confederate or kinsman in Mecca, whom he could count upon for help. But the merchant, instead of letting it pass, appealed to the Quraysh to see that justice was done.
collectively intervene in conflicts to establish justice.
To make the pact imperative and sacred, the members went into the Ka'aba and poured water into the receptacle so it flowed on the black stone. Thereupon each man drank from it. Then they raised their right hands above their heads to show they would stand together in this endeavor. The pact was written and placed inside the Ka'aba, the place where the participants believed it would be under the protection of God.
Among the members who agreed to the terms of the pact was Muhammad. Later on, after proclaiming Islam, Muhammad still acknowledged the validity and value of the pact, despite most of the members being non-Muslim. Abu Bakr is also said to have agreed to this pact. This presumption is based on the fact that Abdullah ibn Jada'an, whose house was the venue for this pledge, was Abu Bakr's fellow clansman. Amongst the clans, Banu Hashim, Banu Zuhra and Banu Taym participated in its formation. Neither the Banu Nawfal, nor the powerful Banu Umayya took part in it.
That pact also marked the beginning of some notion of justice in Mecca, which would be later repeated by Muhammad when he would preach Islam. Another aspect of the pact was that it would open up the Meccan market to Yeminite merchants, who were hitherto excluded.
Husayn ibn Ali once threatened the Medinan governor, who Hussayn believed gave an unjust decision, that he would take the case to the members of Hilf al-Fudul.
Anas Malik sees the pact as example libertarianism in Islam, and Anthony Sullivan considers it as a support for Muslim democrats.
Islam embraces values derived from the human conscience, that are outside of the Islamic tradition. This is because Muhammad had acknowledged a pact before revelation, in the pre-Islamic era.

The Saddest Story Ever Told
A filmmaker on a quest to meet actress Drew Barrymore
Brian Herzlinger might be the lamest documentary filmmaker of all time. I am the kind of person who will watch a documentary about virtually anything, and I tend to like them all; it's my favorite art form. But Herzlinger's My Date with Drew, out this month, is really pushing it.
In 2003, Herzlinger (an unemployed fan of the band Soft Cell) won $1,100 on a game show. He decided the best way to use this money was to buy a camcorder at Circuit City, spend a month trying to get a date with Drew Barrymore, film all of his bad decisions, and then return the camcorder before Circuit City's thirty-day return policy expired. In other words, Brian Herzlinger is a stalker and an opportunist.
The narrative is mostly composed of the director contacting everyone he knows in Los Angeles and asking if they know how to get in touch with Drew. Herzlinger's most interesting moves are auditioning women who resemble Barrymore (so that he can go on a practice date) and interviewing Corey Feldman (who swears that Drew was his girlfriend during the filming of TheGoonies).
Weirdly (or perhaps predictably), the scheme works: When Barrymore realizes Herz-linger's cinematic obsession could also serve as a publicity vehicle, she agrees to have dinner with him in New York. (Drew shows up in her boyfriend's T-shirt and spouts a lot of new-age nonsense.) In theory, this is supposed to give hope to all mediocre men who aspire to love women out of their league. In practice, My Date with Drew proves that if you're stupid enough to fantasize about meeting a celebrity, you're probably stupid enough to succeed. --C. K.

The Greatest Story Never Told


Anne Arundel Police Chief Timothy Altomare said he stands by the officers found to have improperly coerced a murder suspect into waiving his rights to not comment without a lawyer present.
The chief said Circuit Court Judge Stacy McCormack's decision to throw out two statements made by the suspect in the murder of Trayvon Dashawn Briscoe flies in the face of a 1990 Supreme Court ruling which permits "mere strategic deception" by police seeking statements and confessions.
"We used good police work. Certainly, the judge was exercising her prerogative. I think it was exercised wrongly," he said.
Nikko Talley, 21, of Glen Burnie, faced a first-degree murder charge related to the shooting death of Briscoe in Brooklyn Park in November 2016.
An Anne Arundel County jury found him not guilty Monday, with McCormack granting a motion by Talley's defense attorney to throw out statements he made to police during interrogations. She ruled Detective Jason DiPietro and Detective Kelly Harding had improperly misled Talley into speaking with them without a lawyer by waiving his Miranda rights.
Altomare said the ruling may well have contributed to the jury's decision to find Talley not guilty as he admitted to running away from the crime scene after the shooting in one of the inadmissible interrogations.
"I think a person who killed another human being should've been brought to justice," he said.
The controversial decision centers around a Nov. 16, 2016 interrogation by DiPietro and Harding after officers executed a search warrant at Talley's home and arrested him.
When an Anne Arundel County jury went to deliberate on murder charges stemming from a 2016 fatal shooting in Brooklyn Park, they weren't able to consider one piece of evidence police and prosecutors wanted to present in court.
McCormack wrote that DiPietro improperly coerced Talley into speaking with police while he was asking why he was arrested.
"Detective DiPietro appealed to this request during Miranda advisements when he said 'if you want to talk to us to find out what this is about, you can say 'yeah I'll talk to you,'" McCormack wrote.
"Here, a review of the exchange between Defendant and the detectives clearly shows that the Defendant was deceived into waiving Miranda," she wrote.
She also said a second interrogation could not be shown to the jury as, while Talley initiated the conversation with police, he was not read his Miranda rights before speaking.
While prosecutors said "no inducements, promises or coercions were employed," McCormack ultimately ruled in favor of the defense.
But Altomare argued that DiPietro's action fell under "permissible strategic deception," something the Supreme Court said could be used to draw confessions and statements out of suspects.
The Court ruled 7-2 that Illinois police used acceptable procedure when they put an undercover officer inside a cell with a suspect who confessed to an unsolved murder in East St. Louis in 1984. Justices Thurgood Marshall and William J. Brennan dissented.
"Miranda forbids coercion, not mere strategic deception by taking advantage of a suspect's misplaced trust in one he supposes to be a fellow prison," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the court.
There's also the question of the timing of McCormack's ruling, which came down the same day the jury was being finalized and set for trial that week.
Alderman Fred Paone, a former county prosecutor, said that would leave little time for the State's Attorney's Office to file an appeal. He added that it may have still been an explicit decision by the office not to appeal if they felt the evidence in the case was strong enough.
While Assistant State's Attorney Amanda Matey pointed to video, photos and witnesses that all placed Talley at the scene, there was no mention of the murder weapon itself.
A spokeswoman for the State's Attorney Office said it would decline to comment on the case any further beyond a prepared statement sent to a reporter with The Capital on Monday.
Altomare also declined to comment in the timing of the ruling.

NY Department of Financial Services Joins Opposition to the OCC's Proposed Fintech Charter
Catalina E. Azuero
On January 17, 2017, Maria Vullo, the Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services (NY DFS) sent a letter to the Office of the Comptroller Currency (OCC), opposing the OCC's proposed special purpose charter for Fintech companies. The NY DFS adds to the existing resistance by state regulators to the charter, embodied by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS). The CSBS questioned the OCC's authority to issue a charter, and raised, among other things, the negative effect the proposed charter would have on states' ability to protect their consumers. In addition, Democratic U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown and Jeff Merkley also sent a letter to the head of the OCC, voicing their concerns with the proposed charter.
The NY DFS echoed the Senators' concerns regarding the OCC's lack of authority to issue these charters. It argued that the OCC exceeded its authority under the National Bank Act because technology is not a sound criterion for regulation as a practical matter, and moreover, technology is not a criterion that the OCC can use to regulate an entity. The letter also argued that the new charter would encompass entities never before regulated under the National Bank Act (but that the NY DFS has regulated for years).
In addition, the NY DFS posited that the proposed special purpose charter will stifle innovation and encourage only large institutions to thrive. It pointed to the financial collapse and the Great Recession as an example of what could happen when large, national bank entities took over. The NY DFS argued that the recession was caused in part by "the unleashing of subprime lending through the vehicles of national banks" and equated a similar threat from the elevation of Fintech companies to national bank stature.
The NY DFS is, at bottom, trying to maintain its ability to regulate the financial industry in New York. It does not want to provide companies with a mechanism (the national bank charter) that would allow them to avoid New York consumer protection laws through preemption. As an illustration, it points to attempts by online lenders to avoid NY usury laws. The letter argues that "[g]iving federal bank charters to online lenders would create a race to the bottom where online lenders could set up shop in a state with lax consumer protection rules and flood more consumer protective states with dangerous, high-interest loans."
Despite these strong statements from states like New York, it seems unlikely that the OCC will be convinced that it does not have the authority to grant special purpose charters to Fintech companies. The wildcard is the new Administration, which has promised to further deregulate the financial markets, and which might see this Fintech proposal as an attempt to increase regulation. Given the Democratic Senators' comments regarding the OCC's lack of authority on that issue, and the increasingly partisan atmosphere between the federal and state governments, this could lead to increased scrutiny of the OCC's actions, and delay or shift its current proposal. It is too soon to tell what impact this politicization of the proposal will have, although it is likely that there will be increased scrutiny on the OCC and intense scrutiny for the charters (if any) it eventually grants.

The best vegetables of the season taste good—and are good for you. Cook up a healthy veggie-packed recipe tonight!
Some of the best vegetables in season right now offer many health benefits and are delicious in fall dishes from soups and stews to casseroles, side dishes and more. See what these vegetables have to offer nutritionally, and how to pick the best at the market.
Chances are, you're not eating beets that often. Perhaps you think they take too long to cook or you've forgotten how much you like them. Roasted whole, they can take up to an hour to be ready —but if you cut beets up and steam them, they cook in about 10 minutes. Use these tips to get more beets in your diet.
Health Benefits: A 1/2 cup of cooked beets has just 37 calories but boasts 2 grams of fiber and is a good source of folate, a B vitamin needed for the growth of healthy new cells. Plus, their beautiful color comes from betanin, a phytochemical that may help to bolster immunity.
Shopping Tips: Red, golden and Chioggia—the red-and-white candy cane ones—are the most common. Look for other cool varieties, such as white beets and the long, thin Cylindra, at your local market. Choose small beets with firm, dark ruby or bright orange skins.
Storage Tips: Beets can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.
Studies at Johns Hopkins University have shown that compounds in broccoli, rich in antioxidants, may be beneficial in fighting stomach cancer and ulcers. Though raw broccoli offers the most health benefits, quick cooking preserves its sweet crunch and many of its nutrients.
Health Benefits: Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamins C, K and A, folate and fiber.
Shopping Tip: A head of broccoli is composed of a large stalk branching out into several smaller stalks, containing hundreds of florets. Large supermarkets usually sell full heads of broccoli, broccoli crowns (which have most of the stem removed) and florets. Look for sturdy, dark green spears with tight buds and no yellowing.
Storage Tip: Broccoli will stay fresh in the refrigerator for at least a week. If the florets start to look dry, wrap the head in damp paper towels.
Crunchy and versatile, cabbage is more than just the base for your backyard-barbecue coleslaw. It adds texture to a tossed salad, makes a great topping for your taco and, when sauteed with apples and bacon, is the perfect accompaniment to roast pork.
Health Benefits: Like most of its Brassica relatives, cabbage is full of health benefits. Rich in vitamin C and fiber, it also supplies isothiocyanates—chemicals that amp up the body's natural detoxification systems. Studies suggest that cabbage may help fight breast, lung, colon and other types of cancer.
Shopping Tip: Choose the right cabbage for the recipe. Hard white (a.k.a. green) cabbage and red cabbage are delicious raw in coleslaw or cooked in soups, stews and sautés. Mildly flavored, delicate napa (Chinese) cabbage, with ruffled leaves and white ribs, is widely used in Asian cooking. Try it shredded in salads, quick-cooked in stir-fries or slow-cooked in soups or stews. Savoy cabbage is a loosely packed, wrinkled cousin of common green cabbage. It's our favorite choice for cabbage rolls and is sturdy enough for roasting.
Storage Tip: Refrigerate cabbage for up to 1 week.
Nothing says "fall" quite like butternut squash or other winter squash. Its creamy texture and sweet flavor is a welcome addition to many dishes. Add cubes to soups and stews or roast it along with potatoes and root vegetables for a hearty side dish.
Health Benefits: One cup of cooked winter squash is high in both vitamin A (214 percent of the recommended daily value) and vitamin C (33 percent), as well as a good source of vitamins B6 and K, potassium and folate.
Shopping Tips: Choose squash that is very hard: press firmly all over to make sure the rind isn't soft (a sign of immaturity or improper storage.) During harvest season, look for vivid colors—the skin color should not look washed out. Later in the year, after the squash has been stored, the skin color may fade as the flesh becomes sweeter. Regardless of the season, the skin should not look shiny—a sign that it's either underripe or that it's waxed, possibly masking bad quality. Choose squash with a remnant of the dried-out stem still attached, like a small knob at one end. A missing stem can be a sign of mold and bacteria growth inside.
Storage Tips: Store in a cool spot with good air circulation (not the refrigerator, but a cool pantry or cellar) for up to a month. If you buy precubed squash at your market, make sure the pieces are dry, firm and vivid in color. Avoid those that look wet or desiccated with sunken striations in the flesh.
These days, the produce aisle routinely offers white button mushrooms, portobellos (also spelled "portobella"), their younger sibling cremini (also sold as "baby bellas"), oyster and shiitake mushrooms. Exotic varieties like morels and chanterelles make their appearance when foragers are lucky enough to find them in the wild.
Health Benefits: All mushrooms contain nutrients like potassium, copper, niacin and selenium. Research suggests that white button mushrooms seem to have as many antioxidant properties as (and in some cases more than) other mushrooms.
Shopping Tip: Fresh mushrooms should be firm, with a fresh, smooth appearance.
Storage Tips: Keep mushrooms in their original container up to a week in the refrigerator. Once opened, mushrooms should be stored in a porous paper bag to prolong their shelf life. Do not store fresh mushrooms in airtight containers, which will cause condensation and speed up spoilage. Never freeze fresh mushrooms.
Endlessly versatile, potatoes come in all sizes and textures. Stuff baked russets with vegetables and cheese for an easy crowd-pleasing supper or mash them with nonfat milk and garlic for a simple side. Turn boiled red-skinned potatoes into a creamy potato salad. Small, long, flavorful potatoes called fingerlings make an elegant side when simply steamed and tossed with fresh herbs.
Health Benefits: Rich in carbohydrate, the potato often gets a bad rap. However, potatoes boast healthy doses of vitamin C, potassium and some fiber, especially when eaten with the skin on. And recent research has found that compounds that give purple potatoes their colorful hue (anythocyanins) may help lower blood pressure.
Waxy potatoes, such as red skins and fingerlings, have moist, dense flesh and keep their shape when cooked, so choose them for salads and soups.
Floury potatoes (also called baking potatoes), such as russets, have drier, starchier flesh, perfect for baking and mashing.
All-purpose potatoes, such as white and Yukon Gold potatoes, are in between waxy and floury potatoes, so they function well in most applications.
Look for firm potatoes that are free of soft spots. Avoid potatoes that have begun to sprout—they have been stored too long.
Potatoes should never be refrigerated. Store them in a cool, dark place with good air circulation, to discourage softening, sprouting and spoiling.
If potatoes begin to sprout during storage but are still firm, remove the sprouts and any eyes that are beginning to sprout before eating.
Potatoes turn green when exposed to light—peel and discard the green skin before eating.
Properly stored, potatoes will keep 10 to 12 weeks.
Small, thin-skinned potatoes and new potatoes should be used within a few days.

Resolutie 1599 van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties werd unaniem door de VN-Veiligheidsraad aangenomen op 28 april 2005 en richtte het VN-kantoor op dat de vredesmissie in Oost-Timor opvolgde.

Achtergrond

Nadat Portugal zijn kolonies losgelaten had, werd Oost-Timor eind 1975 na een korte burgeroorlog onafhankelijk. Korte tijd later viel Indonesië het land binnen en brak een oorlog uit, waarna Oost-Timor werd ingelijfd. In 1999 stemde Indonesië in met een volksraadpleging over meer autonomie of onafhankelijkheid, waarop het merendeel van de bevolking voor de tweede optie koos.

Inhoud
De bevolking en overheid van Oost-Timor werden geprezen om de vrede en stabiliteit die ze hadden bereikt. Volgens secretaris-generaal Kofi Annan was het wenselijk dat de VN in beperkte mate in het land aanwezig bleven na 20 mei, wanneer het mandaat van de UNMISET-vredesmissie afliep.

Aldus besloot de Veiligheidsraad om voor een periode van een jaar een opvolgende speciale politieke missie, het VN-kantoor in Oost-Timor of UNOTIL, op te richten. Die kreeg als mandaat:
i. De ontwikkeling van de belangrijkste staatsinstellingen ondersteunen via 45 adviseurs,
ii. De verdere ontwikkeling van de politie ondersteunen met veertig politieadviseurs, en de grenseenheid met 35 adviseurs waarvan vijftien militaire adviseurs mochten zijn,
iii. Opleiding geven in democratisch bestuur en mensenrechten via tien mensenrechtenofficiers,
iv. De vooruitgang in het bovenstaande op te volgen.
