Southwest Airlines will announce the four to and fro flight locations from the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport on Wednesday moring.The ceremony will be held at the Breakers Restaurant in Panama City Beach at 10.00 AM. Bob Montgomery, Southwest vice president of properties will make the announcement during a press conference. He will also announce the new special introductory fares for the eight non stop flights from the new international airport.
We've been running a poll on which destinations were more favored by our readers to come to Panama City Beach. The top five respectively were Chicago, New York, Nashville, Dallas, and Baltimore.
The new international airport is expected to be opened on May 18th 2010 with the Southwest flights to operate daily. The Airport Authority Chairman Joe Tannehill said that it was exciting news and everybody would be delighted when southwest announces the low fares.
In the meantime, Bay County Tourist Development Council (TDC) officials will start a public relations campaign in the cities after the announcement is officially made, using social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. According to Dan Rowe,TDC executive director, the announcement and selling of the flight tickets would bring energy to the whole project.
The TDC has made an agreement with Southwest, the largest domestic airlines in USA to bring its service to the new airport with daily non stop flights from the four cities. The airline reached an agreement previously with The St. Joe Co., the Panhandle's largest landowner, that guarantees any losses from its new operations into Northwest Florida for the initial two years. Many experts see the deal as a boost for the economic development of the region.
If you read the article the News Herald wrote on this topic, at http://www.newsherald.com, they mention the New airport code is ECP. Now what could the EC stand for…Emerald Coast??? I hope this means their still discussing naming the new airport Emerald Coast International of Panama City Beach.
From Jaunted.com in October…is it accurate? We shall see! Needless to say Im excited!
This is the biggest news of the bunch, since Panama City is not only a huge spring break and beach destination, but its airport is so brand-spanking new that it won't even open until Southwest begins the service next May. Start planning your northwest Florida vacations now.
I understand there is a press conference shortly, however, Baltimore has already announced that it is one of the cities.
For what it is worth, I believe I was the first one to indicate BWI in the annitial comment tread right after the inital announcement that Southwest chose PCB over pensacola, etc.
looks like the herald scooped everyone.
The cities will be: BWI, Orlando, Nashville, Houston Hobbie.
Just take a look at their website. Thank you SWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like the call lettes for the new airport is ECP ????? what the heck is that why not PCI ?????
Yes, these do make sense. Im a little surprised about Orlando, but what the heck, I will probably use that occasionally too.
Im already waiting for introductory fares to purchase. Seriously.
Looks like Orlando is swa hub. Orlando has about 30 non-stop cities.
Thank you SWA! Houston was the best choice! I never understood why everyone was voting for Dallas! Hmmmm, maybe because Jason is from there? lol I don't get their choice for Orlando, however I would of liked Chicago to have made the list. This is great for PCB!
Very disappointed, and surprised actually, that Chicago was not selected. Southwest has a major presence at Chicago's Midway airport (I think they occupy 3 terminals). Big mistake, and lost opportunity for PCB.
I think it would have been a mistake to have more distant destinations like Chicago and New York. Imagine flying from Panama City to Chicago and back to Nashville. With the destinations they chose, Southwest can route flights anywhere in the US. You can still get to Chicago, Michele!
On another note, I just got an email from Delta, saying that you can now fly Delta to Atlanta for $69.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my post. I live in Chicago and the only way to get from Chicago to PCB has been flying from Chicago to Atlanta or Memphis then to PCB. Not very convenient and it is at minimum a 5-6 hour flight day (take off in Chicago to landing in PCB). Otherwise, we can drive 16-17 hours. PCB is missing out on opening up this opportunity because Chicagoans love to vacation on the Gulf Coast. It is mass exodus the end of March/April spring break time (long winters – it is 11 degrees here today). But we can fly direct farther south (Southwest flies direct from Chicago to Ft. Myers). Therefore, people here choose to go to Naples, Sanibel, Marco Island & Ft. Myers instead largely based on ease of travel.
So, the new airport and Southwest are not providing Chicago (and surrounding areas) any better travel choices than we have had for years by flying Delta/Northwest into PFN. The only thing we can hope for is better pricing.
I agree with Michele's comment. Very disappointing a HUGE city (i.e. Chicago and/or New York) was not selected. The HYPE surrounding this decision by Southwest was not met by the list of cities selected. An opportunity to entice people from a couple high cost of living areas with low-cost non-stop/direct flights has been missed. The people from these high-cost areas would think the property/accomodations in PCB were a bargain. There are many different ways someone can fly from Chicago or New York to PCB on Southwest but they won't be as cheap as a direct flight.
Bottom Line – opportunity missed.
I am sure next year when the airport opens, United (based in Chicago ) will probably offer direct flights if not non stop to PCB. After all, the new airport will be going to be handling more than just Southwest and Delta. It's all good.
I also live near Chicago and have a condo in PCB. Let me tell you, while it is a difficult drive from Chicago to PCB, it is my preferred means to get to PCB versus dealing with the hassel of trying to book a flight into PCB. Airfare is generally outrageous and no direct flight is offered. I swear I've had more delayed/cancelled flights than routine on schedule arrivals. While I don't wish to knock the awarded cities, i.e., Nashville, Orlando, etc., I would die to have such a short distance to PCB from either! Are that many people going to jump on a Southwest flight from Nashville/Orlando vs. drive? I sincerely doubt it! I think Southwest was off the mark here big time!
They didn't pick a huge city? Houston is the 4th largest city( right behind Chicago) and the 6th largest metropolitan are in the nation.
While they may not be direct flights, I doubt many would complain about that over a 2, 3, even 4 times longer drive. Also keep in mind that this is just the first set of direct destinations and they can't please everybody at this moment, it wouldn't be cost-effective from day one to have too many destinations. SWA will track where these people are originating from, whether it be a direct or connecting flight and will expand as needed over the next couple of years. People need to give this time and patience, this will not be an overnight success and expansion to more markets.
We know Delta and Southwest are coming in, now we have to wait and see if United, Continental, and/or American jump on board as well.
Houston may be right behind Chicago, but Chicago and it's surrounding area are way more populated than any of the other cities on the chosen list. I just flew into PCB in November, it took me ten hours from the time I left my house until I pulled up at the resort in PCB. I could drive that in sixteen hours. The point is, the people up north (where it's well below freezing) are always looking to go somewhere warm — just for the h#ll of it. A ten hour, one way flight, doesn't seem worthwhile for a weekend trip. I think SWA and PCB are missing a huge market here.
American use to do a non stop from Chicago to Fort Walton. They stopped that a couple years back when the economy started to tank. I'm hoping they will fly non stop to the new airport. I'm from Chicago also and it is a big hassle with ALWAYS having to change planes. I go twice a year. In April I drive with my sisters and we take turns driving so we get there in one day and this way we have our car. In October when it is my husband and I, we drive.
I have to say there is no way I would fly into Panama City and then have to rent a car when I can drive it under 8 hours if I lived in the southern states. Who would??? You can pack all your gear, have your own car. Makes no sense to me.
Chicagoian is so true. You can fly into all the major Florida cities in the Peninsula non stop for a lot less than it takes to get to PCB.
The Nashville destination doesn't serve only the Nashville market. With a hub-spoke system, Southwest can gather people from other areas and fly one plane in to ECP. I believe this is what Southwest's planners were thinking of when they decided not to fly direct to New York and Chicago.
Would Southwest be able to fill two planes a day to and from Chicago all year long?
Give them time. This is just the first stage.
Ok whiners do some research before crying and complaining.
Southwest has one stop ( no plane change) flights that will get you here in 3 and half hours.
I was very disappointed to learn that SW Airlines did not include the New York and Chicago market in their direct flight plans. A huge opportunity has been missed. Hopefully another airline (Delta) will pick up the money that SW is leaving on the floor.
I see Jordan Maynard said basically the same thing.
and for you Gail : New Yorkers can be here in 4 hours with one stop for 114 each way.
Please check Southwests schedules and prices rather than get bummed about what you think you arent getting.
According to the schedules SW seems to be able to get people to or from Chicago in 3-4 hours and the NY options at 4-6 hours. For west coasters flights have great schedules and pricing as well. After looking over the flight options on the website I have no complaints.
I don't see why people keep sayin Chicago or NYC are missed opportunites. This is their first step, and all 4 cities are SWA "focus cities" and serve as mainly short stop destinations before continuing on. This is the first of likely many more destinations, you can't please everybody, but by using four hub cities, you can serve a broader area.
Sit back, relax, and be thankful Southwest is even here.
Can not believe Chicago was not picked for at least one non-stop per day.
Oh my god. You can get to Panama City from Chicago in 3 hours and 20 minutes, with one stop to pick up a few more folks in Nashville. You don't even have to get out of your seat.
Justin, have you seen the Conan O'Brien video clip "Life is amazing and nobody is happy"? I think you'd like it.
I think you're missing the point. I can easily get to PCB anyway I like — fly, drive, rail, or whatever. However, for PCB to attract a larger audience, SWA or someone else will have to fly nonstop. For a three or a three and a half hour flight, I can spend my winter in the Miami area, or Ft. Meyer, or even LA. It's a little warmer there in the winter months. It's called competition and either you're not getting that concept or you're a little too full of yourselves.
I'm hardly full of myself and understand the concept they're using right now. You should email SWA and ask why they didn't choose Chicago since you sound displeased. It really isn't a big deal, this is the first of hopefully many waves of destinations. As been said before, you can't please everybody at once and can't ever. They may have not been ready to use Chicago yet, reasons we don't know right now unless they give us a statement or someone emails them.
It isn't a big deal though, they didn't have to come here at all, or the new airport may not have ever happened and you'd have to connect through ATL or MEM and pay an arm and a leg to get to Panama City. If they wouldn't have picked Baltimore or Houston, people there would say it is a missed opportunity, however, you're paying MUCH lower fares by them even coming to ECP than not at all.
Just my opinion here, but if you're going to pick a destination over the fact an airline doesn't have a direct flight, but has a connecting flight, then that is kinda sad/weird.
I apologize if I'm coming across "displeased". I'm not. It really doesn't affect me. I think that if you want to entertain a new (large) market, and a new "crowd", the time gate-to-gate has to be lowered. I don't think that people will rush to a new destination that's three and half hours away — I hope they will. As someone else mentioned earlier, "it's a hassle". BTW, weird/sad, whatever you want to call it, I just think that it's a reality from the prospective of someone living nine hundred miles away in below freezing weather, looking to get away for a long weekend.
I'm disappointed, but will hold judgement until the flights start coming in and see what all the airlines are doing.
I don't see any issues with any of the selections except for Orlando. Why not start with a MUCH LARGER metropolis such as Chicago or New York and then add Orlando later? Are more people going to fly to PCB via Orlando rather than via a HUGE area like Chicago or New York? I'd have to believe there are going to be a lot of empty seats on the Orlando to/from PCB flights.
Is the price of a direct flight (same plane with one stop) the same price as a non-stop flight? My guess is the direct flight is more expensive.
I will add my 2 cents to the Chicago discussion. If you flew to Miami rather than PCB you would fly one more hour each way and spend hundreds more in lodging, food and entertainment as Miami cannot compare in pricing. If you were bringing a family or group of people for a week the savings would be thousands not hundreds. So for a comparably priced flight you spend less time in the air and save money on the rest of your vacation costs. PCB is marketing itself as an affordable beachside vacation spot, now we are also easy access at very reasonable flight pricing. We are also a place you can buy a gulf front condo for less than half of most any other part of the USA. I see those interested in Miami as looking for a different experience, more trendy, nightlife, urban with a beach and way more expensive than PCB. PCB is about the beach, airboats, charter boats mixed in with some cheesy ( mini golf and go-cart) down home fun.
just wish , there was a non-stop flight to little rock , arkansas, maybe in the future!

Young Hams Rack Up the Contacts During YOTA Month
December is YOTA (Youth On The Air) Month around the world, and young hams involved with the YOTA organization in North and South America were very active in 2020. According to the YOTA in the Americas group (<www.YouthOnTheAir.org>), 24 operators under age 25 took turns operating four special event stations in the US and cranked out more than 14,000 contacts!
17-year-old Audrey McElroy, KM4BUN,
was among two dozen young U.S. hams
who took part in operating special
event stations during YOTA month in
December 2020 (Photos courtesy
YOTA in the Americas)
Four 1x1 special callsigns were used during the event: K8Y, K8O, K8T, and K8A (Y-O-T-A). The young operators made 14,699 QSOs using SSB, CW, digital modes, and satellites, according to the group. This is an 11.3% increase in QSOs from their total in 2019 (12,487). Some operators used the callsigns during contests such as CWops CWTs, FT Roundup, and the RAC Winter contest.
The following is from the YouthOnTheAir.org report:
We asked USA operators for their favorite aspect of YOTA Month. Michael Lippert, W3MLJ, said, "My favorite part of YOTA month was running 5 radios at once. They were all on digital modes. Running the big FT8 pileups was very fun and to see the rate of the contacts being logged was really cool." Calin Rismiller, K8MTJ, commented, "In general I liked making a bunch of QSOs in a short period of time. In particular, I had a really nice conversation with KC9CUK, Erich, on 40 meters. I also got a kick out of working ZR1ADI, South Africa, on 20-meter FT8."
Youth from the Americas enthusiastically spread the word about youth in amateur radio and made 14,699 QSOs in the process. The event was a great prelude for the first ever camp to be hosted in the western hemisphere, which is planned for July 11-16, 2021.
Calin Rismiller, K8MTJ, of Columbus, Ohio
enjoyed operating special event call K8O
during YOTA month in December 2020.
Globally, over 137,000 contacts were logged using 46 callsigns, all operated by hams under the age of 26. That total surpassed last year's record number of 129,029. The USA placed second, behind Croatia, in the total number of contacts made during the event. Over 2,100 operators (both youth and adults) requested and received an award based on the number of YOTA contacts made as of January 19.
Awards that have not yet been claimed can be downloaded at <http://events.ham-yota.com>. Additional statistics are also available at the same web location. All YOTA Month QSL cards should be requested by OQRS. More information about YOTA in the Americas can be found at <YouthOnTheAir.org>.

Q: Duplicate MutableSet in Kotlin I tried to duplicate
var chart_values: MutableSet<MutableMap.MutableEntry<String, Any>>? = mutableSetOf()

Like the following code
val chartMap = player.chart_values

player is the object of class Player where chart_values are
Printing chart_values:
[ground={},
ground_level={},
date_of_birth=1988-07-18T00:00Z]

I am able to get the data in chartMap but when I try to remove item from it, chart_values data is also getting removed surprisingly
Any insight?

A: You can use toMutableSet() method to make a copy of the set.
val chartMap = player.chart_values.toMutableSet()

Audiobook Producer/Narrator
Working With an Invested Author
Philip Benoit Uncategorized Comment
Much of the process of producing an audiobook physically takes place within the confines of the sound booth where the narrator labors through the sentences and pages of the manuscript. This is done in isolation. At the top levels of the profession, there may be producers, sound technicians, and directors, but for a whole lot of us it's just you and the manuscript in a sound insulated, padded room.
When narrating fiction, you need to become one with all the characters, both major and minor, good and bad, male and female, strange and normal. You also need to picture the action and depict it for readers, who have only your voice to create all this for themselves. The isolation of the sound booth and the unnatural silence can be helpful here to transport you to the world you need to dwell in as you try to find your way to credibility.
While you are engaging with your alternate world, however, there always lurks a bit self-doubt about how well you are doing at building a story in the minds of listeners that is both true to the author's intention and an accurate rendition of the text.
There are mechanisms built into the process of moving from narration to finished recording that offer external feedback on your performance. The rights holder is required to give the go-ahead at certain points before the project gets too far along. Changes can be requested or the project can be halted if it's just not coming together. This is typically somewhat perfunctory and it is not intended to catch specific errors that may pop into the narration at various points in the story.
For that, an editor is needed. As in writing, there is truth in the idea that everyone benefits from an editor. You will always miss errors in your own work.
If the rights holder is casual about proofing the recording, which some are, it is a good practice for the narrator to set up some kind of third party review of the recording as things progress. (My wife, Candy, who will do this if I ask, once agreed to proof an 18-hour-long history of the French and Indian War that included French phrases, sentence-long honorific titles in French, and obscure locations and characters with unpronounceable names.)
Most authors, publishers and book producers do take this aspect of producing the project seriously, and any flaws are usually caught and eliminated. Some rights holders, however, simply choose the narrator, approve the initial clip of the project, and ultimately approve it for sale, after only a random sampling of the recording to get a general sense that it's basically okay.
My most recent project was a novel about gangsters in Chicago during the Prohibition era. I was selected for the project by the author himself, who coordinated the publication of the book. He was thorough from the get-go, and turned out to be the most involved rights-holder I have encountered. We interacted frequently throughout the production of the audiobook.
Before contracting with me, he wanted to know if I felt confident with the Chicago/Italian/Irish accents needed. He asked good questions about my style of narration and the timetable for completion. He sent me a written profile of each of the characters, describing them in terms of their temperaments, physical aspects, and even vocal attributes. This character analysis was immensely helpful to me as I began to develop my approaches to creating the personalities of the characters and their vocal styles and quirks.
As each chapter was finished, I posted it to the web, where the author would most often review it within a day of my posting of a chapter with comments and suggestions on what I had just completed. An example of an issue in this project was that I always pronounce the word "status" with a long "a." The author's preference, though, was to pronounce the word with a short "a." Dictionaries list both as acceptable. The word came up often, and I would tend to absent mindedly toss off my familiar locution of the word using the long "a." The author missed not one of these slips, and I had to go back and change each of them to the author's preference.
This book also had a relatively large number of characters, some of which appear only once or twice in the book and many pages apart. It was easy to forget how I rendered the voice of one of these characters the first time around when he or she popped up again 100 or so pages later. More than once I thought I had correctly reprised a character's vocal mannerisms, but I did not. The author caught the inconsistency and showed me where to look for the original utterance. I had to go find it and make the character sound like she did the first time around.
This close attention to the minutest details by the author made me a bit nervous. Did I get the voice right for Al Capone? Does Dean O'Banion sound like he did back in Chapter 6? There are many renderings in film and television of the voices of these historical characters as done by prominent professional actors. I listened to them on YouTube, but I worried that I had not quite captured all of the inflections and rhythms that would make people believe these characters were authentic. Would I have to go back and find all the places I did Capone's voice and redo them? No, the author seemed happy with my renderings.
So, did I find the authorial feedback a professional problem? Quite the contrary. He didn't second guess every little item or voice rendition. He was very courteous in requesting changes, and complimentary when the changes were made.
And the process was a two-way street. I found some glitches in the manuscript, and the author happily acquiesced to my suggestions for changes to the book itself, which improved the overall product.
This close reading by the author and his requests for changes was also reassuring. That nagging self-doubt is assuaged, and my confidence in the quality of the final product was enhanced.
The narration process for this project became copacetic, and I could focus my attention on who might get whacked next as my mob figures vied for dominance in Chicago's North Side.

Pancreatic cancer is among the cancer types with the worst prognosis. The TCGA network performed a multi-platform analysis of 150 tumors. A cofounding factor was the neoplastic cellularity (or tumor purity), the relative ratios of the whole tumor in cancer cells vs. stromal cells. As part of working group, we devised a two-level analysis working on the most pure tumors separately from the samples with lower tumor purity. This strategy proved successful in all of the levels of cellular functions analyzed, from genomic analysis to phosphor-proteomics.
Our data-driven and hypothesis-generating analyses utilized transcriptomic and methylation data and focused on expanding and integrating the mRNA-defined subtypes with the miRNA and methylation level. Specifically, as the TCGA mRNA data provide a deep and comprehensive analysis of the pancreatic cancer subtypes and their differences, we wanted to examine how these differences emerge and how could they be regulated epigenetically, by genome methylation or miRNAs. We were excited to find two miRNAs being very central in this process, miR-192 and miR-194. They were negatively correlated with several mRNAs, the corresponding genes and gene products of which are the ones responsible for the two major pancreatic cancer subtypes. Interestingly, the miRNA levels were opposite of methylation levels, indicating an important epigenetic regulation, a different "state" that is not visible with conventional mutation analyses.
We also found an opportunity to use the not-pure samples to extract an mRNA-miRNA interaction signature that characterizes the stromal cells and not the cancer cells. A very important miRNA, miR-21 emerged in these analyses, suggesting that its role is potentially more important in the tumor stroma than in cancer, at least in pancreatic cancer.

Some churches within Visayas are ruined due to massive natural destruction of earthquake.
2. INTRODUCTION The Philippines is home to hundreds of centuries-old Spanish colonial churches. Built at the height of Spanish Influence in the archipelago, these churches still stand out from the country's modern cityscapes and continue to play a key role in the spiritual development of the country's 58 million Catholics. Although these churches have remained largely intact for centuries , the ravages of population and urban development have taken their toll on these edifices.

Q: Polymer: How to implement navigations The way I currently implemented navigation in my Polymer 1 application is this:

*

*I use paper-menu and paper-submenu

*on iron-select, I will create a route based on the names of the paper-item
for example groups, example, test will be concatinated into a route like: /groups/example/test. User when then be routed there using this.set('route.path', '/groups/example/test')
Also, on page load, to highlight the correct menu items, I parse the URL and selected the correct menu items. So far so good.
The problem here is: suppose I have even further nesting like /groups/example/test/subpage1/subsubpage2. When the user navigates to such a URL, he is forced back to /groups/example/test because the parsing of URL to select the correct items.
The workaround I have currently is: instead of attaching on-iron-select I will setTimeout then attach this handler. This is so that the user does not get forced back to the wrong page, but this feels wrong. Whats the correct way of doing this?

Understanding the complex phenomena of coaching and teaching through reflections, experiences and literature
Why "Win At All Costs" Is a Priority…..With a New Definition
mwthompson91 March 26, 2018 Coaching
Sandpaper gate. Enough articles and coverage concerning Australian cricketers Steven Smith and Cameron Bancroft have been circulated over the last few days, without adding wood to an already roaring fire.
The fire in question shows little sign of respite as it plunders through integrity and honour across various industries underpinned by the "win at all costs" mantra once coined by Vince Lombardi. One only needs to look at the Russian Olympic athlete scandal in recent times, coupled with their alleged involvement with their own political voting system, not to mention the suspected involvement with a certain Mr Trump's ascension to the oval office. Oh, and let's not forget the corruption from Sepp Blatter and FIFA in the lead up to Qatar being awarded this summer's World Cup, or whatever mystery package GB Cycling delivered to Bradley Wiggins which I genuinely hope is not what it appears.
Cameron Bancroft and Steven Smith paying the price for trying to win at all costs.
It seems that the term marginal gains has been stretched, twisted and in some cases completely disregarded in the pursuit of the ultimate goal of winning. The same could be said of player conduct and 'sportsmanship' on the verge of becoming extinct in some sports. Not so long ago Tottenham Hotspur and England footballer Dele Alli was caught gesticulating inappropriately, supposedly towards teammate Kyle Walker (if you can believe that). Arguably worse than the offence itself, was Gareth Southgate's public defence of the incident, merely citing that Alli and Walker "have a strange way of communicating" with each other. No mention that the gesture was inappropriate considering they are role models for millions of youngsters worldwide, no mention of his own disapproval for it; nothing – and that is precisely the problem. Of course, one can only imagine the pressures that come with being a Head Coach or Manager, tasked with global followership and financial ramifications in the millions, but surely that does not mean that basic principles, and values of human conduct and decency can be so easily ignored.
Which brings me back to 'Sandpaper Gate' and one comment in particular that really stood out scrolling through the many condemnations. That was, "Bancroft had the world at his feet. Smith was moving towards a group which included Bradman and Lara. He's now in one with Armstrong and Maradona." It really struck home that you only need to make one mistake to potentially ruin a world class career. All the years of graft, all the sacrifices both personally and from significant others in the support network, and the words people associate with you are "cheat" and "disgrace". I think we all agree that this is not 'winning' even if the law or cameras have taken a while to catch up with you.
So isn't it time we re-defined what 'winning' is? Surely winning is to do a Roger Federer – that being an outstanding athlete in their own right but most importantly never in the press or in the match referee's room post-game for poor conduct. Much as it pains me to say it being a Liverpool fan, but isn't winning doing a Paul Scholes – a humble character who never attracted attention of the wrong sort, preferring instead to just get on and do his job without feeling the need to assume the identity of a prima-donna at regular intervals. Isn't winning trying your very best at something and, regardless of the outcome, being able to come out of the other side having been the best possible version of yourself?
Roger Federer has not only been a world class performer, but a world class role model for any sporting youngster to emulate.
Under these definitions 'winning' has to assume greater priority among sportspeople at the highest level which includes governing bodies and coaches. I'm sure Eva Carneiro, Chelsea FC's former physio would testify to that after her encounter with Jose Mourinho. Don't get me wrong, even the All Blacks, renowned for their "no d***'s" philosophy don't get it right all the time (Dan Carter has some skeletons in his closet for one) but the best sides ensure that the rule book is seldom, if never fully thrown at them. Fundamentally though, sport in general needs to step up to the plate in a big way. So much education these days is about the holistic approach to youth development, incorporating the person to have a positive impact on their skill and athletic development. That is great, but where is the evidence of this being upheld and applied in the upper echelons of the game? Where is Gareth Southgate reprimanding Dele Alli for a stupid and unnecessary gesture? Where are our coaches being transparent enough to criticise their players when they are effing and blinding at officials? Being able to play the game you love as hard as possible, whilst maintaining credibility, respect and humility is the message that we should be conveying to the next generation. Instead the current message still seems to be one of Lombardianism and "we'll do anything to win", which is deeply concerning.
Dele Alli's conduct in recent months has not been condemned by his country, conveying a message to youngsters that it is ok to act like that.
Ask yourself as a coach, which would you rather do? Enjoy outstanding results on the field regardless of your players' conduct; or perhaps sacrifice some of that success and replace it with the best values and conduct you can conjure and cultivate. If you're leaning towards the former then have a long, hard think about the youngsters you are sending into society. Think about the group you want them associated with in later life – the legendary Bradman's or the disgraced Armstrong's? Your choice is as simple as that, because the real world is cut throat as some Australian cricketers are about to find out.

A little bit about myself - I graduated from Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2010 with a first class degree in Sports Coaching, before working at the world class Millfield School, predominantly coaching Cricket and Football in addition to teaching Physical Education. In 2014 I returned to Cardiff Met to complete a PGCE in secondary Physical Education, whilst overseeing the University Cricket programme as Performance Director, and lecturing on the Performance Sport and Coaching Science pathways. After re-joining the cricket coaching staff at Millfield for a second time, I am now find myself based at Glamorgan County Cricket Club's Sophia Gardens as Talent Programme Manager for Cricket Wales, tasked with nurturing the country's exciting young cricketers from a performance and athletic development perspective. This comes on top of completing my postgraduate Masters study in Sports Coaching and Pedagogy. They say you learn from seeing the every best in action, so I consider myself extremely fortunate to have worked with some world class coaching practitioners, teachers and athletes in my career to date, and have a huge interest in learning from others, coaching across a variety of spectrums and searching for ways to enhance performance, and personal development.

Episode 42: Highlander - The Source
By RSS, April 9, 2015 in Tranquil Tirades
Just when you thought movie sequels couldn't possibly get any worse than Highlander II: The Quickening, here comes a film that not only completely negates the entire Highlander mythos, but also royally besmirches Freddie Mercury while it's at it. Yes, it's Highlander: The Source, which truly shows that there isn't more to life than this. [ 2:40:29 || 81.3 MB ]
To listen, click here: http://www.earth-2.net/podcasts/tranquiltirades/episodes/tranquiltirades_042.mp3
Even though I've only seen the first movie, and clips of the show, I've always had a strange desire to consume the entire Highlander franchise. Fifty minutes into this episode, and that desire is stronger. What a messed up series!
As far as this one goes, we briefly touched on it early in the episode, but the entire movie is infinitely more amusing if you imagine a gigantic loud-ass bird SQUAWKING every time the Guardian is on screen.

1) I kinda recorded it in a hurry since I only had a bit of time to get it in before the episode recorded and editing didn't go as well as I'd hoped.
Mr Mockery
I really liked the Highlander series because it tried to expand on the ideas in the first film and attempted to make sense of the conflicting continuity of the films. If anything I think they made a mistake in acknowledging the existence of Connor. It just made a rod for their own backs by claiming the show existed in the same universe as the films.
Having said that I have never had the desire to give the later films a go and I now know I'm not missing out.

It's been messed up to the point that a reboot would be the best way to proceed. And I say that as someone who does not like reboots at all.
But that should not happen until the stink of the current franchise has faded.
It's a really cool concept (and I was a fan of the TV show back in the day) but the execution has been terrible.
Actually I was thinking more about current events in the world. I used to think that humans have moved to the point where beheading was seen as barbaric as sword duels. Fun fact Abraham Lincoln was challenged to a saber duel to the death on a place called bloody island, but the duel was stopped by a mutual friend. However, terrorist organizations like ISIL has shown that beheading is still around.
on a lighter note....
The part about DZ made me nostalgic for that place. It seems like any indoor fun place has been bought out by Chuck E. Cheese and Nolan Bushnell. Discovery Zone, Showbiz Pizza, The Rock-afire explosion gang,
I wonder if Bushnell has tried to buy Freddy Fazbears Pizza and Hoo Ha's Jamboree.
However, terrorist organizations like ISIL has shown that beheading is still around.
True, but it never really left. Humanity is just as barbaric as it ever was. It's harder than ever to make something truly shocking, because of the 24/7 news cycle and the Internet.
Which is why the people making movies, TV shows etc. need to focus on writing a good story. Shock value doesn't cut it any more.

Q: JavaScript equivalent to Guava's HashCode? In Java, I get a hashCode using Google Guava:
HashFunction hashFunction = Hashing.md5();
Hasher hasher = hashFunction.newHasher();
hasher.putLong(arg);
HashCode hashCode = hasher.hash();
long asLong = hashCode.asLong();

Is there an equivalent to this in JavaScript?

A: Explicitly for MD5 hashes, then there is no NATIVE equivalent in Javascript. MD5 is weak enough to have been deprecated out of the SubtleCrypto library. SHA1 is still supported, but has also been cracked recently, so I would use SHA-2 (SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are different sizes of this same algorithm, which can be confusing -- they're all SHA-2) for any security-related projects. If you just want this as a quick way to determine that one lump of data is different than another, then SHA-1 is sufficient.
Here's Mozilla's writeup of the SubtleCrypto.digest method to do this:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/digest

A: Google Guava is collection of libraries i.e. packaged extensions to the core language. There are custom implementations of the MD5 and other hash functions in JavaScript and most other languages. For an example in Javascript: http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/md5.html
So you just need to include them and you can use them in Javascript.

In Terms of Educational Mobility, India's Muslims Worse off Than African-Americans
A recent study has found that higher caste groups have experienced constant and high upward mobility over time, a result that contradicts a popular notion that it is increasingly difficult for upper-caste Hindus to get ahead.

New Delhi: A new study focusing on intergenerational mobility – changes in social status between different generations within the same family – claims India's Muslims to be the least upwardly mobile group, Indian Express reported. Upward mobility has been measured using children's education or education rank as a proxy for opportunity, so the upward mobility measures are entirely based on educational outcomes rather than economic ones.
"Our most novel and striking finding is that upward mobility has fallen substantially among Muslims in the last twenty years," the paper, released this month, claims adding: "Higher caste groups have experienced constant and high upward mobility over time, a result that contradicts a popular notion that it is increasingly difficult for upper-caste Hindus to get ahead."
Intergenerational mobility captures changes in status across generations and is a useful measure for describing changes in access to opportunity in the long run.
Titled 'Intergenerational Mobility in India', the study by Sam Asher (World Bank), Paul Novosad (Dartmouth College) and Charlie Rafkin (MIT) concludes that while intergenerational mobility for the population as a whole has remained constant since economic liberalisation, there have been substantial cross-group changes.
? New working paper ? on Intergenerational Mobility in India. Biggest takeaway in 1 graph: Upward mobility for Muslims way behind forward castes, SCs and STs, and going down. Thread, with @thesamasher and @charlesrafkin. 1/11 pic.twitter.com/TWJkVvWdNe
— Paul Novosad (@paulnovosad) September 19, 2018
Thread Appendix 1: This is all about education ranks. Ed is a great proxy for income, and given available data, it's basically impossible to effectively measure changes in intergenerational income mobility. More details in the paper. 12/11
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have done better on the mobility index while upper-castes and OBCs have remained where they were. However, "rising mobility" among SCs "is almost exactly offset by declining intergenerational mobility among Muslims," observed the report refuting the perception that marginalised groups have been catching up on average.
The authors have relied on two sources of data for the study – the India Human Development Survey and the Socio-Economic and Caste Census. For its key finding, the study samples children (born between 1950 and 1989) of parents who were in the bottom half of the education distribution, and assesses their prospects of moving up the distribution.
The report, based on 5,600 rural sub-districts and 2,300 cities and towns, further concludes that the southern part of the country is overall more inclusive – as is urban India – and that education boosts prospects: "On average, children are most successful at exiting the bottom of the distribution in places that are southern, urban, or have higher average education levels."
In one northern state, however, Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir, the Muslim community has considerably higher mobility than in the rest of India.
On the educational front, the paper concludes that for the last 15 years, access to high school and college for Muslims from poor families has stagnated.
The paper highlights the need for studying economic outcomes of Muslims in the country, especially from poor families. "Despite a population share comparable to Scheduled Castes [14% for Muslims vs 16.6% for SCs and 14% for STs], this group is overlooked by most of the economic literature on marginalized groups in India."
Based on the findings, the study goes on to state that over the last few decades, nearly all upward mobility gains have accrued to SCs and STs, constitutionally-protected groups, those that have been provided with reservations in politics and education as well as the marginalised sections that have gained from development policies.
None of these gains, however, "have come at the expense of the upper caste population, in spite of significant political mobilization against affirmative action by higher caste groups in recent years."
"For other groups, there is little evidence that economic liberalization has substantially increased opportunities for those in the lower half of the rank distribution to attain higher relative social position, and for Muslims these opportunities have substantially deteriorated."
The study claims that while those born at the bottom half of an education distribution in the US tend to get to the 34th percentile, Muslims can expect to only get to the 28th, something they term as "really low."
Muslims are now the least upwardly mobile group in India. Conditional on being born in the bottom half of the education distribution, Muslim children can expect to obtain the 28th percentile. This is really low! 9/11
The report reasons that even though Muslim disadvantage has been widely noted, there aren't enough policies in place in the country to protect them. The RSS as well as the ruling BJP have rallied around Hindu nationalist policies which explicitly discriminate against Muslims. The community has also frequently been targeted by mob violence. As The Wire reported in December 2017, "over the eight years since 2012, 29 persons have been killed in cow-related hate violence, 25 of whom were Muslim."
Caste still remains an important marker of economic opportunity in the country, thus "Understanding how mobility has changed for these population groups is an essential component of understanding secular trends in intergenerational mobility in India."
Novosad, one of the authors of the study, tweeted based on the report that "While India's recent growth has made almost everyone a lot better off, it hasn't changed the rate of churn at all. If you started at the bottom, you're just as likely to finish at the bottom as you would have been in 1950."

Edzell Castle – Unique Walled Garden
Edzell Castle in Angus Region is an impressive ruin with one of the most attractive walled gardens in Scotland. The original wooden structure was built by the Abbott family on top of a motte around 1100. The property passed to the Stirlings of Glenesk, then by marriage to the Lindsays in 1358. It stayed with the Lindsays until 1715 and they developed the castle to what it is today.
In the 1400s the Lindsays became Earls of Crawford. They built a tower house with a courtyard in a more sheltered spot in the early 1500s. This was extended in1553 with a large west range which had the main entrance to the castle. In the late16th century Sir David Lindsay planned to add a large north range with round towers.
He was also responsible for Edzell's walled garden, a retreat from the castle. The garden is entered through a summer house in the corner of the garden, farthest away from the castle. The first thing to strike you is the highly decorated garden wall. This unique design has diagonally arranged compartments for flower boxes and spaces for birds to nest, the original garden bird boxes. It is resplendent with stone relief of heraldic sculptures, planet deities and carved panels. The two storey summer house is largely intact and contains the best preserved room in the castle, with a stunning oak panel on the wall. Another similar building was a bath house. Sir David Lindsay fell into debt while trying to complete his ambitious project so the North range was left unfinished.
By 1715, inherited debts increased so much that the Lindsays were forced to sell Edzell Castle to the Earl of Panmure. He too lost all his assets after the 1715 Jacobite Rising when his estates, including Edzell Castle, were seized. Edzell Castle later passed on to the York Building Company. The castle was badly damaged by occupying government troops during the 1745 and completely stripped after York Building Company went into liquidation.
Edzell Castle later passed to the Dalhousie family, who retained ownership for some time. In 1932 the walled garden passed into state care and they sold the rest of the castle in 1935. Edzell Castle and gardens in the lovely region of Angus are now cared for by Historic Scotland.
The Aberdeen Art Gallery was first opened in the year 1885, and is one of the most visited galleries in Scotland. A local Scottish architect by the name of Alexander Marshall McKenzie designed the beautiful building that is home to the Aberdeen Art Gallery. Approximately 300 000 visitors flock to the Art Gallery of Aberdeen each year to appreciate the breathtaking ...
