Shortly before the end of the cold spell in Germany, there have been numerous weather-related accidents, especially in the northern half of the country.
In Lower Saxony, there has been "a massive number of traffic accidents in a very short time" since the evening, especially in the district of Göttingen, a police spokesman said on Tuesday morning.
Sixteen cars were involved in a total of 10 accidents, he said, and two people were slightly injured.

Following pouring rain on Monday afternoon, roads again became slippery, and Autobahn 7 near Göttingen was closed twice in both directions in the evening.
On the roads of Schleswig-Holstein, there have been dozens of accidents in snow and icy conditions.

In Lübeck and the districts of Ostholstein, Herzogtum Lauenburg and Stormarn, police were called to more than 40 weather-related incidents in the evening and early morning, a police spokeswoman said.
Some cars slid into a ditch or ran off the road, she said. A common problem was people driving with the "wrong tires".
A total of six people were injured in the weather-related accidents there, she said.
In the Oberhavel district of Brandenburg, a police officer was injured in a car accident on the A10. He had removed barriers in the evening after a slippery road accident and was hit by the car.
Fatal ice skating accident in southern Germany
Everywhere in the country it remains dangerous to step on icy surfaces and waterways: a 29-year-old man died in hospital a few hours after he collapsed while skating on a frozen pond in Baden-Württemberg, a police spokesman said Tuesday.
The young man was skating about 50 metres from shore on the pond near Ravensburg on Monday afternoon when the ice gave way beneath him. A 60-year-old man tried to help the young man and collapsed himself.
Passers-by pulled the injured helper to shore. The 29-year-old was first pulled out of the water by a diver from the German Life-Saving Association (DLRG) and then taken to a hospital.
Local transport stops
In Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, the transport company completely stopped service. Early Tuesday morning, operations gradually resumed service.
Magdeburg's public transport company also temporarily suspended operations on Monday evening. Freezing rain had made the roads slippery as glass, the transport companies in Saxony-Anhalt's capital announced.
In addition, the overhead lines of the streetcars were covered with a layer of ice within a few minutes.
Weather in the next days
Germany's cold spell, which has seen temperatures in parts of the country over the past week dip to below -20C, is coming to an end.
READ ALSO: Why Germany is facing extreme winter weather this month
Temperatures are expected to climb higher throughout the week. By this Sunday, the Mercury in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich is expected to read 13C, and 17C in Cologne.
For the east and southeast, some snowfall was still expected for early Tuesday, which should quickly turn into rain and subside during the morning.
This is caused by a strong Atlantic weather front, which is gradually bringing warmer sea air, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
Temperatures well above freezing will also bring rain to Berlin and Brandenburg, which are still covered in snow.

As DWD announced Tuesday morning, there will be intermittent drizzle or rain in the region throughout the day.
According to the meteorologists, temperatures will climb up to 8C on Tuesday.
There are also warnings of slippery conditions for some regions in the southern half of the country, such as the south of Bavaria.
Here, freezing rain or drizzle is to be expected in some areas, according to DWD. Black ice could occur.
In the course of the day, however, it will be significantly milder, with 3C in the eastern low mountain ranges and 11C in the western foothills of the Alps.

Obama's Overtime Tweak: What is the Fair Price of a Missed Life?
President Obama has noticed that a lot of workers on his 24/7 business paradise are toiling long days, nights and weekends for low pay. He has proposed to update the law on overtime in the interests of growth, America, and fairness. What does the new rule oppose? What does it keep intact? This can tell us a lot about what is being demanded of working people with these preeminent values.
Obama's proposal is meant to stop companies (notoriously, in retail, especially dollar stores) from taking advantage of an outdated rule in the Fair Labor Standards Act which exempts them from paying overtime to salaried managers earning below $23,660. Evidently, it's common practice to give a title like "assistant manager" to a worker who operates a cash register, stocks shelves, or sweeps the floor, then have him or her work up to 70 hours a week and not pay time-and-a-half for overtime. Everyone instantly knows why companies do this: to maximize the work with a minimum of payment, boosting their profit.
The new rule raises the salary threshold to $50,440 to stop this practice. It's also well-known why Republicans, the Chamber of Commerce, and business groups are screaming mad: if companies have to pay workers more, this hurts their profit.
Obama accuses these companies of "cheating." He has no problem with long workdays for low pay, because that's still permitted by the new law. His objection is that these companies cheat workers out of overtime pay. He points out that workers "rely" on overtime pay. Why? This is also well known: a normal day's paycheck is so skimpy that people have to work around the clock just to get by.
Obama does not object to the goal companies pursue when cutting corners on overtime pay: profit. In fact, making millions is precisely how companies should contribute to the "growth America needs." Obama objects when these companies undercut "profitable companies like Costco who see paying higher wages as a way to reduce turnover and boost productivity." These are the kinds of businesses that represent the high tech, high skills, high wage economy that Obama wants to secure the foundation of America's global power. Reduced turnover means fewer workers end up receiving unemployment or some other government assistance; the company isn't transferring the burden of its wage costs to the government budget, where people also represent a burden. Productivity means not just extending the working day but intensifying it with the latest technologies.
If higher wages is such a good business strategy, why doesn't Obama recommend raising wages to $50 hour? Of course, that wouldn't be realistic. Obama knows low wages are a crucial weapon in the competition not only between companies, but between nations as well. So low wages per se aren't the problem – only wages that are too low, i.e., that lead to workers withdrawing funds for social assistance from the national budget rather than adding into it. Obama's concern is not the hardships faced by stressed-out, cheaply-paid workers, but the problem they pose for the state and the national economy.
American companies and "the economy" are always talked about as a big collective "we." Yet it is also widely acknowledged that workers need state protection from their employers in the form of a legal working day. Why are laws necessary to limit the working day anyway?
The economic interest in getting a lot of work for little pay leads companies to extend the working day as long as the worker is physically and mentally able to endure it. The company is free to disregard the worker's need to recover their used-up energy because this takes place on the worker's private time. The company transfers the risk of profitable production to the worker – with consequences for the worker's health.
Back in the early days of capitalism, the labor movement called on the state to limit work times. The state eventually recognized this was a necessity – not just for maintaining the social peace, but so that the working class is capable of being a working class. Unless restrained by state power, the capitalists destroy the human source of their wealth in the very process of creating this wealth. This could serve as a "teachable moment" about the nature of the economy that is regulated by the "humane," modern social state.
Most workers see the legal working day and overtime pay as helping them. That's certainly part of it. But it shouldn't be overlooked that the state doesn't do this to stop their ruination. It sets conditions for their ruination which modulate it so that they remain functional. This is not for their sake, but so that they can continue to play the role designated for them in this economic system – as a tool of an interest that is hostile to their well-being.
In promoting his overtime plan, Obama likes to quote an old labor movement slogan, but with a twist: "a fair day's wage for a hard day's work." Half the equation ("a fair day's work") is quietly dropped. Probably nobody notices; a shorter working day isn't on the agenda in any nation that wants to compete in the global economy. The only public criticism of the amount of overtime put in by American workers is that this denies part-time workers the one thing they can hope for in life: more work!
The old labor movement slogan serves Obama's purpose because he wants to be seen as a friend of the working class, but not too soft on them either. So he affirms the ideology of the wage as fair pay. Who would disagree? Neither CEOs or union leaders would argue. The working class must serve business and give everything they've got. For this, they should get fair pay. But what is that exactly? Is it $10.10 per hour or $15 or $50? How much is the rent to be paid out of it? How much does food cost? There is no such equation. It's a question economists and policy wonks will argue forever. If the goal of the economy was to meet people's needs, nobody would ask it.
Fairness is the belief that the economy is a big communal project. The principle is always invoked when it is discovered that it doesn't really work out this way: I work hard, why doesn't it pay off? He doesn't do anything, why does he get that much? What work is worth is not decided by effort, but what kind of means a person has. Some let their money "work" for them, and others work for money.
Obama claims the new overtime rule helps workers because it will "grow the economy." Its funny: wealth has been growing for decades; there's wealth all over the place; America is the richest of all nations. What still needs to grow? One thing: the private wealth of those who own it. And every MBA knows the methods: cutting "overhead" – i.e., the livelihoods of the working class – either by direct wage cuts, automation, outsourcing, or any of the many other methods which are all being applied simultaneously. Is it really so astonishing when growth makes the rich richer and the poor poorer?
Obama's "help" for workers means more long days packed with hard work, wages so low that they can't say no to overtime, insecurity, flexibility, and sacrifice for the wealth of others. What a great land of opportunity!

        displayName: "John Doe",
      },
    },
  },
};

const officeMock = new OfficeMockObject(mockData);
global.Office = officeMock;

describe("Greeter", () => {
  it("greets the current user", () => {
    const { getByText } = render(<Greeter />);

    expect(getByText(/Hello, John Doe/)).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});

My test fails because the Office.context.mailbox.userProfile.displayName property yields the string Error, property was not loaded.
Inspecting the mock object further, it looks like my intended value is indeed saved in the mock object but not used.

I did some further digging in the office-addin-mock module and it seems that a prior sync is needed to set the this.loaded property to true and therefore assigning this.valueBeforeLoaded to this.value. Here's an excerpt from the office-addin-mock package:
async sync() {
  this.properties.forEach(async (property: OfficeMockObject, key: string) => {
    await property.sync();
    this.updatePropertyCall(key);
  });
  if (this.loaded) {
    this.value = this.valueBeforeLoaded;
  }
}

My understanding is that context.sync is a concept prevalent in Excel web add-in development, but not Outlook. However, at this point I stopped the investigation as it's probably easier for Microsoft to dig further. Any assistance is much appreciated!

A: Thanks for reporting with so many details!
I created an issue of this bug in our repo to track it: Office-Addin-Scripts Issues
This is indeed a bug in our code. What is happening is that properties values assigned in the constructor of OfficeMockObject are not working for Outlook.
A workaround, while the solution is not implemented, is to assign the variable value after the constructor:
officeMock.context.mailbox.userProfile.displayName = "John Doe";

Niagara Falls State Park Wayfinding Signage
Consistent. Legible. Informative. Attractive.
As the oldest state park in the nation, Niagara Falls State Park has a long, rich history as a major tourist destination for national and international visitors alike who come to be inspired by the wonder and grandeur of the Falls. Multiple tourist attractions, miles of walkways and trails, several large parking areas, and a complete system of visitor amenities and services are spread out over more than 400 acres of park land, making Niagara Fall State Park a very complex environment to navigate. Unfortunately, the existing park signage was outdated, inadequate, and wasn't fit for purpose, often causing visitors to struggle finding their way within the park.
The LA Group designed a coordinated system of wayfinding signs that are consistent, legible, informative and attractive. Signage is often to first layer of visitor experience and has the important role of creating a positive first impression. The new signage system complements the site's historical and natural setting while meeting the contemporary needs of the park and the millions of people who visit each year. Symbols and pictograms supplement directional information to provide common non-verbal information to park visitors regardless of their native language. The result is a carefully planned wayfinding system that presents a single voice of identity across the entire park, providing visitors with seamless navigation as they explore one of America's most spectacular natural wonders.
Wayfinding Planning and Design Services Provided:
Complete inventory and analysis of existing signage and wayfinding elements
Development of coordinated "family" of signage types (graphical and narrative)
Development of signage graphic standards, guidelines, and manual
3D design and imagery of all signage types
Development of landscape strategies to create gateway and branding opportunities
Preparation of wayfinding site plans and construction documents

There was this little, I guess you can call it a bridge in the snow connected to one of the logs.
I never seen anything like it and it looked really cool.
It kinda looks like a very small bridge or a very small wall for a snow fort.


International Women's Day, observed annually on March 8th, is a day to honor and celebrate the influential women in our lives and throughout history - from business to politics, to athletics to philanthropy, to celebrity. It is also a time to celebrate the amazing women we interact with on a daily basis and to express our respect, appreciation and love.
Thank those that have made a difference in your life on this special day!
I know… I know… Winter in New England seems endless but really there is a bright spot of sunshine just around the corner. For Bostonians, the spring season is a reminder of how beautiful the rebirth of the earth truly is and the importance of celebrating that miracle once the warmer climate arrives again. For many of us, this time is an opportunity to get outside and plant our own miracles into our freshly thawed gardens with the hopes that very soon, we'll see flowers rebloom in the months ahead. The month of March might seem too early to get our trowels out of the shed but there's no law against making a plan of what varieties may spark our green thumb interests. As you know, spring species are very different from the hardier varieties that flourish during the summer and because of this, it's important to think ahead so you'll be ready for April, May and June crops. Many gardeners will use catalogs or perhaps stop over at their local nursery to see what will be in stock as others rely solely on the breeds they've come to depend on year in and year out. If you are looking to change things up a bit in your flower beds, here's a list of both old and new spring blooming species that are already turning heads!
Ruby Moon: This is a wild take on the traditional hyacinth bulb because it is grown by seed and looks more like a vine than the typical cone shape you often see. Pretty lavender flowers shoot out from the stem, which appears more branch-like than the thick base you are used to.
Nimbus: Sweet Peas have always been one of my favorite spring blooms and I can't say that I'm partial to any particular color since they are all stunning. I did find this new variety called "Nimbus" which just might change my mind and there's good reason… This type of sweet pea is multi-colored with dark purple and white- a variegated dimension of the regular straight purple or white. You can mix these with any other flowers you have growing or plant a patch to make a striking effect.
Merlot Red: Just like the name says; this scabiosa variety is very similar in shading to a glass of dark red wine and boy, is it spectacular! You don't often come across a breed like this in New England so if you happen to stumble upon it during your next greenhouse visit, grab them while you can!
Copper Image: If you're into peach, you're going to love this new double pink variety that resembles closely to a garden rose. These beauties are trending to be designers top pick in 2018 and there's no doubt as to why… Copper Image tulips are not only breathtaking to the eye but are also effective as a filler in sparse areas of your garden.
In a couple of weeks, my favorite holiday of the year will be here; a day filled with celebration, joyous friendship and an awful lot of hope for LUCK! Yes, St. Patrick's Day is on March 17th and although the festivities originated in Ireland to honor the death of Saint Patrick himself in AD 385–461, you don't have to be Irish to scream "Erin Go Bragh!" when the occasion arises. For many of us Bostonians who are fans of cabbage dinner, dancing a jig and finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, we're looking forward to this special day and are planning to whoop it up in some way or another.
For college students, it's a pretty safe bet they'll be filling the pubs to toast the holiday but for others who might enjoy a close get together; they'll need to come up with a lively menu as well as decorations. The food's the simple part since you should be leaning towards traditional feasts of corn beef and root vegetables. Accessories such as green and white streamers, faux pieces of gold and paper clovers to hang on the wall are also pretty s standard and available at local party store outlets. The tricky part, on the other hand, will be the selection of flowers for your serving table and hosting area where guests will be entertained. Don't think for a second this is a minor detail that can be cut from the budget to save a buck because they're actually extremely significant to Irish customary rituals associated with St. Patrick's Day.
amrock is the national emblem and flower of this European country and it's stunning foliage of leafy green hearts make it the perfect bloom to incorporate within arrangements. Not only is the small bud delicately beautiful in appearance, but the 4-leaf clover also symbolizes hope, faith, love and luck. You can utilize this fact by gifting guests with small pots of clover as party favors. Other varieties that are perfect for your March soiree are Bells of Ireland, Green Goddess Callas and green roses, which are readily available during this time of year from florists. You might want to also think "blue" as a possibility since this was the original color representing this annual celebration. Species such as blue delphinium, bachelor buttons, scabiosa and iris are splendid options that will bring authenticity to your bouquets as well as add a brilliant and fun pop of color.
International Women's Day is celebrated throughout the world every year on March 8th. The Day traces its beginnings to the early 20th century as a result of the socialist movement. The holiday recognizes the social and political struggles that women have faced for centuries. It is also a chance for us all to show women how much we respect them and appreciate them.
The holiday stirs more emotions in some countries than others. The custom of giving the mimosa flower can be traced back to Italy around 1946. The flowers were intended to be given as a sign of respect and the mimosa's symbolism rivals that of a red rose on Valentine's day.
Mimosa's origin can be traced back to Australia. It arrived in Europe around 1820. The plant is quite invasive and should not be placed too close to other plants. Its blooms are often harvested for cut flowers, honey and oils for perfume. You may recognize the blossom at the premium cosmetic store, L'Occitane en Provence.
Many clients from Russia, Eastern Europe and Italy will often call or email to check on this fleeting flower's availability for March 8th. Mimosa has a lovely scent and Exotic Flowers in Boston will have Mimosa for sale on International Women's Day.
I don't know about you, but I'm already getting the itch to start my indoor seedlings even though there's still snow falling on the ground! For many New Englanders, this is a common frustration since we know that planting too early in the spring season will not cultivate a healthy crop once it is transferred outdoors. Plants like tomatoes, cucumbers and peas are perfectly ok but for other species, it can be a problem. While the average time to begin this process is usually the middle of April, you'll be glad to know that there are actually a few varieties of vegetables that will do just fine if not benefit from a March potting. Usually, these types are typically those that take a prolonged period of time to get going, which is an important variable to learn about when selecting your seeds. Since we must keep in mind the temperature constraints of our climate having such a short summer season compared to other southern states, veggies that take four to five months to mature with fruit almost have to be planted indoors way before the normal gardening season. Fussy produce such as peppers, corn, cauliflower, celery, garlic, onions and eggplant can be challenging for Boston green thumbs so getting a jump on these before April will be helpful.
And why not? It only takes a few basic things to get started!
All you have to do is find a warm and sunny area of your home and set up camp! Select your seeds from either a catalog or store and then grab an empty egg carton or potato chip container. They might not seem like it but they are excellent for nurturing organic soil because both materials encourage growth and moisture. Finding a radiator in close proximity will also give your seeds a nice little push as well since an added bit of heat can trick the seeds into thinking it's summer. Water as needed and let them do their own thing on their own time until the stems are at least two to three inches in height. When they get that big, they are ready to be transplanted into your garden. That is, if the earth has warmed enough to be adequate for growing. If the ground is still frozen, you'll have to wait a bit longer but don't worry because the seedlings will do just fine inside.
March Madness begins on March 15th with NCAA teams racing down the courts to become the number #1 college basketball team in the country! While some of you will participate office pools and placing your wagers on hopeful winners, some fans will be showing their spirit in other ways as they anxiously await the beginning of one of the most exciting sporting tournaments of the year. Have you made your plans on how you will be watching who makes it to the Final Four?
For those of you who are planning to watch the games while having a get together, choosing the perfect decorations to accessorize your March Madness party is a top priority! Hang banners in the colors of your favorite teams, select party platters and bowls in the shape of half moon basketballs and you'll need to devise a menu that compliments the occasion such as serving nachos organized as a basketball court, basketball cupcakes or veggie platters organized in a circle of orange carrots with green peppers to form the stitches.
The month of March is a special time of year for New Englanders because (if we're lucky) spring is right around the corner. It's the season for rebirth when the soil turns soft and warm allowing new life to begin as the bitter coldness of winter slows ebbs away. For Boston florists, this means it's time to change up their product inventory with a fresh palette of color that mirrors this theme of growth and renewal. Typically, you'll find that there is a strong influence of peach, pink and lavender that infiltrates arrangements as well as flowers belonging to the pastel side of the spectrum. What is interesting about the color transition is that more than half of the pieces designed include a heavy presence of green, which is otherwise infrequently utilized as often in other traditional design templates. In the floral industry (and many others) the pigment green is symbolic towards expressing life and youth, a combination that we look forward to each year when March returns.
Since we are quickly approaching spring in Boston, it's important to begin planning our list of flowers that yield the shade of green so that we are suitably prepared for the exciting adaptation. Do any blossoms come to mind?
Be honest… Who of you instantly thought of green carnations? Believe it or not, there are other options available to you besides the infamous Saint Patrick's Day bloom. There's nothing wrong with being impartial to this variety but you should be made aware that several different species exist that develop in a beautiful array of brilliant to soft greens within their petals. Here are a few of my favorites!

Home » Rams win a survivors contest called the Super Bowl
By Art Thiel February 14, 2022 No Comments6 Mins Read
Cooper Kupp was denied a touchdown on this play by offsetting penalties, but made up for it on another catch that won the Super Bowl for the Rams Sunday. / therams.com
Probably a dozen or more NFL head coaches, their players and fans spent a part of Sunday evening muttering something along the lines of, "The Rams? Hell, gimme Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp, and we could have won the Super Bowl too."
It's close to the truth. Despite being on home turf, the Los Angeles Rams were in a mostly game-long stumble against a team that lost seven regular-season games. The Bengals were playing a second-year quarterback behind a mediocre line that three games earlier allowed nine sacks, and would give up seven Sunday, tying a Super Bowl record.
The Rams couldn't run a lick (43 yards in 23 attempts), lost star WR Odell Beckham to injury, were down to a fourth-stringer at tight end, QB Matthew Stafford twice threw interceptions, and their star cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, was having a bad game. Holder/punter Johnny Hekker even muffed an extra-point snap.
Formidable, they were not.
Champions, they are.
Barely.
After routing a broken Arizona team 34-11 to open the playoffs, the Rams outlasted Tampa Bay 30-27, slip-slid past the 49ers 20-17 in the NFC Championship, and Sunday night in Super Bowl LVI, slip-slid past the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 (box).
They did not conquer. They survived.
That is the only requirement.
It would appear that after 27 years of free agency and two years of covid, in the NFL there are no more dreadnought teams. Just a bunch of outfits that are good enough on a given day. Yes, owner Stan Kroenke fulfilled his expensive dream to win a Super Bowl with his own team on his own SoFi Stadium field, but the margins were less than Indiana Jones had ahead of the giant rolling boulder.
That is why the final seven postseason games were collectively thrilling dramas.
Play was often inelegant and officiating occasionally cartoonish, but the tension was irresistible. Which makes for splendid sports theater.
That is why the NFL as a business enterprise is a bullet-proof success nearly beyond imagination. All the controversies the league has endured — racism, franchise relocations, Deflategate, stadium-funding fights, concussions, scandalous and sometimes criminal behavior by players, owners and coaches — are all tied for last place in the mind of the sports public.
The games prevail every time, because unlike any of the major pro team sports, money is legislated into a relatively even distribution and in a secondary position, so that brains, poise, strength and will are the deciders, not just team payrolls. Every enterprise has a relatively fair shot.
Which adds resonance to what Rams coach Sean McVay tells his team — as often as Pete Carroll tells the Seahawks to always compete — "Be the best when the best is required."
That thought puts a bow on what happened Sunday: When the game was on the line in the final two possessions, Kupp was best of the best on offense, Donald was best of the best on defense.
The rest of the game was pretty much a dead heat.
On the Rams' final possession that covered 79 yards using 15 plays, Kupp had 39 yards on four catches, including a one-yarder for what would be the game-winning TD, plus a seven-yard run on a jet sweep that produced a vital first down.
With their final chance, the Bengals moved to midfield in the final minute, But on third-and-one, Donald denied a rush attempt, and on fourth down, sacked QB Joe Burrow to preserve the win.
Either player could have been voted game MVP, but Kupp, the unlikely kid from Yakima and Eastern Washington University, won the award, becoming only the second player in single-season history to win receiving's triple crown (yards, catches, touchdowns) as well as the Super Bowl and game MVP.
The first was the incomparable Jerry Rice.
Kupp post-game seemed to think his success was almost ordained.
"It was written already," he said. " I just had to play free."
For those who have a more secular view, the Rams had a run of 13 consecutive non-winning seasons through 2016, the year before Kupp was drafted in the third round. Nobody saw any writing for him or the Rams then.
The Bengals' arrival was far more unlikely, then and now, and came far closer to the upset than most expected.
In a pre-game column, longtime NFL executive and former player agent Andrew Brandt offered a behind-the-curtains peek to show why the Bengals haven't been to a Super Bowl since 1988:
I still shake my head at the thought of the Bengals, the most frugal team in the NFL, in the Super Bowl. Their miserly ways, embodied in owner/general manager Mike Brown, have not only frustrated agents for decades (including this former agent) but also peer teams around the league. For the longest time, the Bengals would not hire full-time scouts, choosing to have their coaches do the scouting (they rationalized that the coaches were not coaching in the spring, so they could scout). They practiced under a highway, barely spent any money on facilities, and were inflexible in player contract negotiations.
I vividly remember NFL owners meetings where the interactions between Brown and Jerry Jones were great theater. Brown inevitably would be complaining about some rule or proposal that would cost him money; he was, although bright and pragmatic, the ultimate "sky is falling" owner.
Some things have improved, including a new-found aggressiveness in free agency, but the Bengals were still 4-12 a year ago. Yet the plausibility of such an occurrence annually for one among numerous teams is real. And this match-up featured the two youngest head coaches in the game, another bit of evidence for how fast things change in the NFL.
From a Seattle perspective regarding the title outcome, as long as Russell Wilson is around to do what Burrow and Rams QB Matthew Stafford did, a reasonable expectation, then the season's 7-10 record is a crack in the windshield, not a shattering.
But somewhere in the football universe, the Seahawks need to hire one or two gentlemen who can be the best when the best is required.

Former Woodland Plantation now serves as the 1811 Kid Ory Historic House (2023)
This story appeared in the March issue of PRC'sPreservation in Print magazine. Interested in getting more preservation stories like this delivered to your door nine times a year?Become a member of the PRCfor a subscription!
When the 1811 Kid Ory Historic House recently opened its doors as a museum, it symbolically reopened a centuries-old structure nearly lost to the ages. Over the years, this "big house" had several names, including the Andry Plantation, the Woodland Plantation and the Montegut House.
When Manuel Andry obtained the property in 1793, he built a two-room structure near the Mississippi River and established it as a sugar plantation on the vast concession of deltaic alluvial soil. As Gabrielle Begue points out in the building's nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the two rooms "follow the traditional salle-chambre plan, which comprises a larger parlor-like room (19 feet, 10 inches by 19 feet, 3 inches) and a smaller private chamber (16 feet, 1 inch by 19 feet, 3 inches)." Extensive renovation on the house in 2017 revealed that laborers built the structure through the traditional French colombage, or half-timber method, and infilled framing members with bousillage, an earthen building material typically made of tempered earth and Spanish moss. As architect Jennie Cannon-West pointed out pre-renovation, the smaller room features wide-plank boards ranging from 11 inches to 13 inches in width, indicative of standard flooring practices in the 18th and early-19th centuries.
This physical evidence suggests that the private chamber is most likely where Commandant Manuel Andry laid on the night of Jan. 8, 1811, when Charles Deslondes and his fellow enslaved rebels attacked Andry and killed his son Gilbert — initiating the 1811 Slave Revolt. Now with the house open as a museum, this room features an exhibit on the revolt, also known as the 1811 German Coast Uprising. It includes newly discovered details about the country's largest rebellion of enslaved people and features period furniture, including a 19th-century armoire meticulously crafted by H. Girault, whose name is engraved in the door.
A few months after the uprising, Andry sold the house, plantation and 30 enslaved humans to entrepreneur François Norbert Boudousquie of New Orleans for $65,000. Between then and Boudousquie's death in 1831, he expanded the house into a four-room structure. The hand-hewn cypress framing, French doors and additional front, rear and side galleries suggest that the house — considered large by 19th-century standards — looked more like a typical French Creole plantation house during this phase than in its original 1793 state. Today, the two rooms that Boudousquie added house "Stomping Grounds: Mules at Work in Southeast Louisiana" and part of an exhibit on Edward "Kid" Ory's life in Louisiana. Preservation in Print readers may remember the Preservation Resource Center's extensive work to save Kid Ory's house at 2135 Jackson Ave. in New Orleans in the early 2000s. The PRC purchased and restored the home, which had been blighted. Ory (1886-1973) was a trombonist, saxophonist, composer and bandleader, who lived at 2135 Jackson Ave. from 1910 until 1916. He led both the Woodland Band in LaPlace and his own band in New Orleans, and recorded with Louis Armstrong's Hot Five, Joseph "King" Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers.
Jacob Hollingsworth, a businessman from Baltimore, Md., purchased the plantation from Boudousquie's widow in 1839. His son Samuel stepped in to assist with plantation operations; within a few years, they expanded the house for the younger Hollingsworth's growing family. The house evolved aesthetically with Greek Revival crossette-frame casings in the front gallery and double-hung sash windows under their ownership. Samuel Hollingsworth significantly enlarged the house structurally to make room for his seven children by enclosing the rear circa-1810s loggia and adding two new rooms. They now house an exhibit hall, currently featuring photographs of Louisiana culture bearers, the second Kid Ory exhibit room, and visitors' entrance/gift shop.

Hollingsworth also built a full-length rear gallery, erected a side-gabled structure immediately behind the house and built a simple single-story, square outbuilding constructed of wood with a pyramidal roof.
Despite the architectural additions, perhaps the Hollingsworth era's most personal touch is the tag, "Nina Hollingsworth July 15, 1862," etched in one of the 10-lite paneled French doors. Supposedly a suitor etched Nina's name into the glass to show her the authenticity of the diamond ring he gave her when he proposed marriage. Another name was etched into a nearby pane in 1962.
In 1870, John Chaffe purchased the plantation in a sheriff's auction and rechristened the mechanized sugar farm with its most remembered name, The Woodland Plantation. In the 1880s, a massive, extant mule barn was erected between the main house and the tenants' quarters that extended up Cardinal Street. On Christmas Day in 1886, Edward "Kid" Ory was born in the quarters, roughly on the northeast corner of Cardinal Street and U.S. Highway 61. Though the tenant quarters' physical structures have not been identified, the community retains the name Historic Woodland Quarters.

This spring, students from the Greater New Orleans Archaeology Program of the University of New Orleans hope to unearth new information about the plantation through a service-learning class facilitated by Dr. Ryan Gray and LSU doctoral candidate Kenetha Harrington.
In 1898, the Ory brothers — John L., Felicien, Lezin Jr. and Emydge — purchased the Woodland Plantation with Augustin Lasseigne and Leon Keller. John L. Ory, a distant cousin of Kid Ory, moved into the house to manage plantation operations. Like Samuel Hollingsworth, John L. Ory also had a large family and similarly altered the place to its current footprint; Begue notes these changes included the addition of decorative brackets, a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling and a decorative front railing of sawn balusters. John L. Ory erected side porches and gable dormers, plus diamond-pane sidelites and a multi-lite transom over the rear entrance. He also connected the rear ell and built an adjacent octagonal bay for his daughters.
Around this time, the Orys built a cistern and erected a carriage house behind the main house. While Kid Ory played and worked on the site as a boy, he would have noted the painted warnings throughout the carriage house saying: "Notice — No Loafers Allowed in Here. — J.L.O" and "No Smoking In Here U.2."
Before & After: One of the rooms added by Nobert Boudousquie between 1811 and 1831 now houses the "Stomping Grounds" exhibit, which explores postbellum sugar production in Louisiana.

The subsequent deaths of John L. Ory and three other Woodland partners by 1923 spurred the plantation's subdivision, which led to the establishment of LaPlace. Within a decade, the Orys turned the home into a boarding house to help curb the financial hardship of the Great Depression and provide housing for laborers working on the Bonnet Carré Spillway. For the rest of the 20th century, it was commonly known as the Montegut House.
Two actions helped the endangered Montegut House in 2017. First, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria B for its association with Kid Ory and under Criteria C for its surviving Creolized bousillage construction ranging from circa 1793 through the 1840s. In March 2017, Timothy P. Sheehan purchased the house from multiple Ory descendants and began extensive renovation work. After the signing, he immediately drove to the house with a "carload of tools and a sleeping bag." For weeks Sheehan camped on the property and enlisted skilled carpenters Patrick Dennon and Nora Goddard, among others. They restored worn sections of the porch and deconstructed the old boarding house footprint; for example, multiple private bathrooms were removed from the enclosed back gallery.
Despite the Woodland Plantation house's return to its late 19th-century form and meticulous restoration by Sheehan, reopening the dwelling as the 1811 Kid Ory Historic House provided a new set of challenges. Funding had to be reallocated for an ADA-compliant elevator to allow alternative access into the house, which is raised on five-foot brick piers. Team member Jason Brooks cleverly fastened a plumbing "splitter" for the ADA-compliant bathroom sink, so pipes would not compromise the 18th-century bousillage and the main cypress support beam under the oldest section of the house. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic delayed opening by nearly a year.
During the pandemic delay, scholar-in-residence Daniel Senentz, Jr., and Managing Director John McCusker researched the 1811 German Coast Uprising in more depth and acquired period-appropriate furniture and antiques.

I have saved so many images of Eero Saarinen's Pedistal Table, that I had to create a separate file to hold them all. So naturally, I was excited to see that one of my favorite Atlanta artists had included the iconic Tulip as subject in his most recent show.
Scott Ingram's "Saarinen Table/Floor" on paper.
Along with Ingram's "Architectural" series are the Nail Polish Works that have made him an interior designer favorite. Shown above is a piece in a home by Suzanne Kasler & William T. Baker.
Scott Ingram is showing at Solomon Projects through March 13th.
The Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles blog just brought the girlie-glam offices at Atlanta-based Spanx to my attention. Now, if only the product packaging was as cool. LOVE Spanx, but I always feel like a bit of a rube buying any undergarments featuring a winking cartoon on the cover.

Digging these retro guest bathrooms at The Mark. Fresh off a redesign by Jacques Grange, they include my favorite new bathroom accessory...Disappearing Mirror TVs!
I know there has been a lot of discussion as to who actually watches these things, but I am sure I would. Blow drying and straightening my hair can get really boring. And now that I know that sitting and watching TV can increase your death rate, it makes sense to view those thoughtful programs while engaging in another activity.
Also loving The Mark's chic website & illustrations.
Another Atlanta designer has made our city proud! More of Jill Brinson's gorgeous home can be seen in House Beautiful and on this week's Skirted Roundtable.

NHL Playoff Performers: Good News & Bad News
Take a team-by-team glimpse at who has stepped up – and who hasn't – thus far in the 2020 NHL playoffs.
Sam McCaig
The first round of the 2020 NHL playoffs is over, with a quick turnaround to Round 2. Here's a team-by-team look at players who have been pleasant surprises – as well as players who have disappointed.
THE EIGHT TEAMS STILL IN IT
B-plus: In the middle of a global pandemic, Tuukka Rask reportedly had to decide between a hockey tournament versus the health and well-being of his family. He chose wisely and should be praised for it.
B-minus: The Bruins don't have a lot of less-than candidates, and Zdeno Chara is 43 and nobody is expecting him to carry the offense. That's not what he's there for. Still, just one assist in eight games and tied for the team-worst plus/minus rating at minus-3 leaves you wanting more from the captain.
MVP Avs: It's tempting to go with Nazem Kadri's remarkable playoff resurrection after his previous post-season implosions in Toronto. But it has to be Nathan MacKinnon, who's leading all playoff scorers and building an early case for the Conn Smythe Trophy.
Not MVP Avs: Prior to their Game 1 setback against Dallas, everything was coming up Colorado. Well, almost everything. MacKinnon and Kadri could use a little more help from the team's depth players – seven Avs forwards have scored zero goals or only once through nine games.
'D' for Dallas: Speaking of coming-out parties, you might want to check out second-year defenseman Miro Heiskanen. If you miss him, don't worry, you'll likely see him with the Norris Trophy soon enough.
'D' for disappointing: Tyler Seguin didn't score his first goal of the playoffs until Game 1 against Colorado. If that's the start of something good, then great. If not, then it's difficult to see the Stars shining much longer.
Most goals: Anthony Beauvillier is tied for the NHL lead with six goals, including a pair in the Game 5 elimination of Washington.
More goals: About the only thing the Isles need to improve is their depth scoring, as the bottom-six hasn't contributed much in the way of offense. But we're nit-picking.
Goalie drought ends: Remember how, for decades, the Flyers couldn't find a go-to goalie? Carter Hart is doing his best to make you forget about all that.
Goal drought begins: When you think about it, it's amazing the Flyers advanced to the second round despite zero combined goals from top-six forwards Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, Travis Konecny and James van Riemsdyk (limited to six games due to injuries).
Extra good: Brayden Point scored the quintuple-overtime winner in Game 1 against Columbus, then eliminated the Blue Jackets with the Game 5 OT winner.
Extra forward: There's not much to dislike about the Lightning, other than the injury-induced absence of Steven Stamkos. You'd like to see him back the captain back in the lineup as soon as possible.
The future is now: There's a lot to like about the surprising Canucks, from Bo Horvat's big-time scoring to Elias Pettersson's perpetual production to J.T. Miller's leadership to Jacob Markstrom's elite netminding. But the headline has to be the superlative play of rookie defenseman Quinn Hughes. His fan club grows every game he plays.
Past his prime: There aren't too many passengers in Vancouver, making Loui Eriksson's lack of production (zero points in nine games) all the more noticeable.
Defense wins championships: The scoring is spread around among the Golden Knights forwards, so the player that jumps out is Shea Theodore, who continues to rise as an impactful No. 1 defenseman with two-way sensibilities.
Offense helps, too: Injuries have slowed top-liners Paul Stastny and Max Pacioretty. Vegas needs them contributing if they're going to realize their third-year expansion Cup dream.
THE EIGHT TEAMS OUT
Good dog: Clayton Keller turned 22 just before the start of the qualifying round, and his first foray into the NHL playoffs was a successful one. He led the Coyotes with four goals and seven points – and he kept it consistent, too, hitting the scoresheet in seven of Arizona's nine games.
Bad dog: Phil Kessel led the Coyotes with 22 shots in nine games, but his production wasn't up to snuff. One goal and four points doesn't cut it from a playoff veteran who needed to lead the way offensively on an inexperienced team.
Fired up: After eight goals and 12 points in 52 regular-season games, Sam Bennett had a team-high five goals and eight points in 10 playoff contests.
Firing line: The Flames' first line of Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and Elias Lindholm fared well in the qualifying round against Winnipeg, but produced only two goals – both by Gaudreau – in the six-game ouster against Dallas. It's not the first time they've underwhelmed, and it makes you wonder who will still be in Calgary next season.
Hurricane swarming: There's no doubt the first line of Sebastian Aho, Andrei Svechnikov and Teuvo Teravainen will be back in Carolina next season. They combined for 10 goals in eight playoff games, and Aho was vying for the NHL playoff scoring lead with 12 points.
Hurricane warning: The Canes' second, third and fourth lines combined for only seven goals in eight games, including minimal contributions from captain Jordan Staal (zero points), 'Mr. Game 7' Justin Williams (one goal), trade-deadline acquisition Vincent Trocheck (two assists) and 2019 UFA signee Ryan Dzingel (zero points in four games).
New snipe: Dominik Kubalik kind of came out of nowhere this season and ended up a Calder Trophy finalist, and he kept the good times going with four goals and eight points in nine playoff games.
Old birds: Thirty-five-year-old Brent Seabrook didn't play at all in the post-season, and 37-year-old Duncan Keith was a team-worst minus-7. It feels like a changing of the guard on Chicago's blueline.
On the way up: The playoffs were a stepping stone for top-line center Pierre-Luc Dubois, who led the team in scoring with 10 points in 10 games while matching up against opponents' big guns, and starting goalie Joonas Korpisalo, who established an NHL post-season record with 85 saves in the Game 1 quintuple-overtime loss to Tampa Bay.
Down time: After losing forwards Artemi Panarin, Matt Duchene and Dzingel to unrestricted free agency last summer, the Blue Jackets went out and signed Gustav Nyquist. Nobody expected him to replace the elite offense that was lost, but he needed to do better than two assists in 10 games.
Stopping power: Rookie center Nick Suzuki tied for the team playoff scoring lead as well as the goal lead with sophomore Jesperi Kotkaniemi. But, as always, the difference-maker in Montreal was Carey Price, who battled Philadelphia's Hart for playoff supremacy in goals-against average and save percentage.
Scoring outage: There's a few forwards to pick from – starting with Tomas Tatar (two points) and Phillip Danault (three points) – but Max Domi didn't score once in 10 playoff games.
High note: Ryan O'Reilly was the 2019 NHL playoff MVP, leading the Blues to their first-ever Stanley Cup. And he delivered the same clutch play in 2020, too.
Low note: Jordan Binnington was a revelation last year, both in the regular season and the playoffs. This year he went 0-5 in the post-season with a 4.72 GAA and .851 save percentage.
Just score, baby: The Capitals didn't have an answer for the Islanders, falling in five games. One thing didn't change, though: Alex Ovechkin led Washington with four goals in eight games – only two other Caps players scored more than once in the post-season (Evgeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie had three goals apiece).
Just score, baby: Neither Ilya Kovalchuk nor Nicklas Backstrom nor Jakub Vrana nor Lars Eller nor Carl Hagelin scored a goal in the playoffs. And neither did Norris Trophy candidate John Carlson, who was a team-worst minus-11 in five games.

Whatever feeling you have entering into a New Year it's always a transition from the past into a future you know nothing about, but one that may present challenges you can prepare for.
To "have the life you want" it's a good idea to "get the support you need". A friend, a spouse, a trusted mentor…or a coach.
Remember that when we talk about goal setting, your attitudes, values and behavior it's really about making sure that you stay in line with and are being true to your needs, opinions and perception.The distinction between selfishness and self fullness is that self fullness is being true to your needs, opinions and perception without worrying what others think and understanding an important difference that when we disappoint some people we are actually allowing them to find their own strenght.

F.E.A.R. – be mindful of it.
F.E.A.R. – be mindful of your fear.
What brings a human being to the brink of doing things we can't imagine anyone doing – good or evil? What makes the person cross the line of the impossible?
What's the fuel feeding the transition…?
The answer may be F.E.A.R. and the words hidden in the acronym.
Förelskelse [Love]; the fear you feel when letting your guard down; displaying vulnerability…instead of "safety".
Empati [Empathy]; the fear of the uncertainty you feel when showing compassion; easing someone's pain…with less regard to your own.
Alienation [Alienation]; the fear you feel of being left out; of being lonely, not able to share your love, hate, passion or anxiety.
Reciprok altuism [Reciprocal altruism] or ["Ömsesidig nytta"]; the fear of having to reciprocate one favor with another; be in debt to someone…knowing you'll never be free…or able to pay back.
In my fiction book "A Mindful Death", (visit www.amindfuldeath.com for more and how to purchase a copy) the characters' actions and the life they live, are fueled by F.E.A.R.
The "heroes and heroines" focus on the fuel that renew, rather than the fear that suffocate, felt by the "villains".
The plot sees a long lost love romantically rekindled when the lovers determine to let their guards down; allow vulnerability into their relationship; letting their feelings, rather than logic, guide them.
Some of the characters display empathy, and then, others do not out of fear for retribution; the battle between good and evil…and the choices made by us which side to choose.
The alienation felt…and lived; secrets kept…never to be shared; the feeling of being left alone with one's thoughts, conscience; not knowing…or understanding…if they are morally right… or wrong.
Bound by reciprocal altruism – not ever being allowed to stop reciprocating; indebted…for life.
acknowledge and manage our fear; to understand how fear fuel our feelings, thoughts, actions, and choices we make in life.
show vulnerability; let our guards down…to embrace love.
allow our emotions and impulses guide us…to show empathy.
reach out for help and support…to dread alienation.
help someone, expect nothing in return…to say no to reciprocal altruism.
Fear not. LIVE…because Life is beautiful.
What does life transition mean and what would better managing them entail?
Let's take a pivotal period in life – transitioning into retirement or semi-retirement. One of the things to look at, as in any transition, is the help needed to build resilience and skills in an individual facing this life changing transition.
Planning, preparing and preventing are three key words that first come to mind, and with a help of a coach you can enter into this new phase of your life confident and with more ease.
During any transition you hit barriers, road blocks, that have prevented you to succeed in the past. One is a behavioral barrier – the way we relate to others. Loneliness, for example, which so significantly impacts health later in life, is one important barrier you may face. Without the support of a partner, peers, family, friend, neighbors, an individual might find it considerably harder to face significant life changes.
On the other hand, reduced independence might prove detrimental because it can diminish the individual's sense of control of his or her own destiny.
Attitudes also play a pivotal role in any transition. How we choose to enter into a transition. To capitalize on the lessons learnt from their own past experiences (or other's) the individual is given a platform from where to better prepare for future difficult transitions. The challenge is that it may not be obvious how to do this and guidance from a coach could prove pivotal to the success of the change…to de-traumatize the transition.
Instead of fearing change, embrace it and instigate a change in perception from one of loss and hopelessness, to one focused on assets that builds resilience.
Other barriers are related to family and social networks, and how to best "intervene" to put you back on track on your journey – your transition – into retirement.
These are a just a few of the challenges/barriers you'll face in a transition but they give you an idea of what to expect if you choose not to plan, prepare and prevent. i.e. entering into the transition kind of blindfolded.
Mindful Solution-Focused Coaching – what is Coaching…?
The word coaching is indeed widely used – from management support services, to a wellness coach in our fitness club. For clarity, let me explain what I mean by coaching.
For a moment, think about the arts and crafts of frame making…framing a picture in such a way that it can unfold its full expressivity is an art that few people have mastered. Rembrandt was quoted as saying that during his whole career it was more difficult for him to find an appropriate frame than to paint the picture!
Now, think about coaching as framing a piece of art…As a coach we create a frame (of thought) for the individual or team in which his or her goals, solutions, and first steps can shine. The frame constructed by the coach consists of goal-oriented questions, reinforcing feedback. present listening, and useful summary.
It is the task of coaching to ensure that the individual or team receive the appropriate frame. But just like the frame maker, the coach would never start actively creating the picture.


"If she ever wants it to stop it stops."
Sia has responded to criticism of her decision to use young dancer Maddie Ziegler as a way to avoid the spotlight.
The criticism came from an article in The Guardian, which noted Sia's declaration in 2013 that she 'did not want to be famous', and her subsequent decision to hide her face with an oversized wig and use Ziegler as a sort of avatar.
Maddie, now 15 years old, was just 11 when she appeared in her first video for Sia, 'Chandelier', having been spotted by the popstar on the hit US TV show Dance Moms. She has now featured in six of Sia's videos, and they have appeared regularly on TV and in live shows together.
The Guardian articles suggested that "the grown-up who has seen what fame can do and fears it has, perhaps unwittingly, handed it over to the child instead".
Responding with a flurry of tweets, Sia told fans that she has questioned her decision herself, and regularly asks Maddie if she is okay.
"The article poses a question I have asked myself often. I do check in with Maddie weekly about whether she wants this, and assure her if she ever wants it to stop it stops. It's a conversation we should all be having. Not just myself but all directors, stage parents and agents with their children, clients, charges," she wrote.
"Maddie was already famous when I discovered her, but I have certainly expanded her exposure and feel responsible for that. I feel very protective of her and my goal is to empower her in whatever choices she makes.
"Some would argue a teenager...can't or shouldn't be charged with making sound choices for themselves so I do try to choose the best for her always. But I think this is an important conversation."
She then added: "What I learned from Maddie is that fame affects her differently than how it affected me. I can only trust that she is telling me the truth. If that changes, we stop."
In 2015, Sia responded to 'paedophilia concerns' over the 'Elastic Heart' music video featuring Shia LaBeouf and Ziegler.
"I anticipated some 'pedophelia!!!' Cries for this video. All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could play," she wrote at the time.
"I apologize to those who feel triggered by #ElasticHeart My intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody."
Last month saw Sia release her first ever festive album, Everyday Is Christmas.

Points of emphasis
For 2014-15, the Rules Committee wishes coaches, players and officials to take particular note of the following points.
Sideline control
The Rules Committee requires competitions and teams to enforce strictly the rules regarding the the team area and coaching box (Rule 1-2-4-a, back of the limit lines between the 25-yard lines), and the space between the limit lines (Rules 1-2-3-a and 1-2-3-c, 12 feet outside the sidelines and the end line) and the sidelines. These field-level locations must be kept clear of persons who have no game responsibilities.
The field level is not for spectators. It must be reserved for those who are performing a service associated with action on the field of play and for administration of the game. Simply put, no job means no sideline pass.
Each team is limited to 25 persons in its team area, not including squad members in full uniform, who shall be wearing a team credential. (Full uniform is defined as equipped in accord with BAFA rules and ready to play.)
Persons who are directly involved in the game include (Rules 1-1-6 and 1-2-4-b): coaches, team managers, medical and athletic training staff members, athletics communications staff members, and game operations staff members (e.g. chain crew, ball persons, official media liaisons, technicians responsible for coach-to-press box communications).
Teams are recommended to clearly separate spectator areas from the field. If there is no spectator seating, a rope or similar marker should be used to keep spectators back from the field. This should be no closer to the boundary lines than 24 feet. Game management should ensure that this is enforced.
Protection of defenseless players
In 2009, we introduced a separate rule prohibiting contact with the helmet and targeting a defenseless opponent. These actions are now in two rules: Targeting/Initiating Contact With the Crown of the Helmet (Rule 9-1-3) and Defenseless Player: Contact to Head or Neck Area (Rule 9-1-4). Use of the helmet as a weapon and intentional (targeted) contact to the head or neck area are serious safety concerns. New in 2014, the penalties for fouls under both 9-1-3 and 9-1-4 include automatic disqualification. We continue to emphasise that coaches and officials must be diligent to insure that players understand and abide by these rules.
Rule 2-27-14 defines and lists characteristics of a defenseless player.
The helmet is intended to protect the player from head injuries. It must therefore be fitted properly so that it does not come off through play. Coaches and trainers must be diligent in seeing that players wear the helmets properly, and officials must firmly enforce the rules requiring chin straps to be tightly secured. The rules (Rule 3-3-9) now call for the player whose helmet comes off to leave the game for one down, unless this is the direct result of a foul. The player may remain in the game if his team is granted a charged timeout.
Safety and medical considerations
BAFA strongly encourages coaches and officials to be diligent in ensuring that players wear mandatory equipment. It is especially important that equipment and pads cover body parts for which they were designed. Particular attention is drawn to wearing uniform pants that cover the knees, which are easily abraded when exposed.
Football players are especially susceptible to methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is resistant to commonly used antibiotics. MRSA results in lost playing time. More seriously, it has caused the deaths of several football players in recent years. MRSA is typically transmitted through body-to-body contact from an infected wound or via an object (e.g. towel) that has come in contact with the infected area. It is not transmitted through the air, is not found on mud or grass, and cannot live on artificial turf.
BAFA recommends observing common medical precautions to reduce the incidence of MRSA infections, including:
Proper wearing of all required padding and uniform equipment.
Keep hands clean by washing thoroughly with soap and water, or by using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer routinely.
Immediate showering after all physical activity.
Avoid whirlpools or common tubs when having an open wound.
Proper washing of athletics gear and towels after each use.
Referring all active skin lesions to the athletic trainer.
Covering all skin lesions appropriately before participation.
Coaches and medical personnel should exercise caution in the treatment of a participant who exhibits signs of a concussion. See Appendix C for detailed information.
The Rules Committee remains concerned that while the quantity of American football being played in Britain is on the increase, the quality of it in terms of facilities for games is often not. The Committee is particularly concerned that an increasing number of teams:
do not have balls, ball boys, chains and chain crew available at the appointed time prior to kickoff (Rules 1-3-2-e and 13-4-1)
provide the equipment and personnel listed above, but that they are of questionable quality;
provide the personnel but they are too young to do the job properly;
provide the personnel but change them during the game;
do not mark all the field and team area markings required by rule (Rules 1-2-1, 1-2-3-a and 1-2-4-a), or the lines are faint or crooked.
We have taken three steps to address the situation:
BAFRA officials will continue to do game management and/or field audits to identify both the problem teams and those taking the most effective action.
We have formalised in the rules the provision for competitions to take action against teams for game management breaches - such action is termed "sanctions" (Rule 13-7).
We have changed Rule 13-4-1-c to make it mandatory that officials' assistants under the age of 14 are not used, and that those under 18 must be supervised by a responsible member of game management.
We appreciate that some teams find it difficult to recruit gameday personnel, and sometimes have to balance the desire for a prestigious venue with lack of total control over field markings. However, any team can take steps to improve its facilities and performance, and we encourage them to do so.
We are also concerned that some teams wish to run the chains on the side of the field opposite to that specified by rule (Rule 1-2-7). This is not such a trivial change as some people may think. It is very disruptive to the positioning mechanics of the game officials, much of whose positioning is dictated by the position of the chains and the expectation that this will be on the opposite side of the field to that designated as the press box for penalty signalling and other purposes. Unless the total playing enclosure does not permit, the chains MUST be run on the side of the field opposite the designated press box.
After reviewing a number of plays involving unsportsmanlike conduct, we are firm in our support of the unsportsmanlike conduct rules as they are currently written and officiated. Many of these fouls deal with players who inappropriately draw attention to themselves in a premeditated, excessive or prolonged manner. Players should be taught the discipline that reinforces football as a team game.
BAFA reminds head coaches of their responsibility for the behaviour of their players before and after, as well as during, the game. Players must be cautioned against pre-game unsportsmanlike conduct on the field that can lead to confrontation between the teams. Such action can lead to penalties enforced on the opening kickoff, possibly including disqualification of players. Repeated occurrence of such unsportsmanlike behaviour by a team may result in punitive action by BAFA against the head coach and his team.

Canaletes fountain: celebrate Barça victories there!
Canaletes fountain is a symbol in Barcelona city and famous to be the meeting place for locals and visitors to celebrate the victories of Barça, Football club Barcelona. The fountain has become one of the most visited landmarks, and when something is being celebrated for Barça you can see a huge gathering in front of it.
The popular name Canaletes has direct associations with the sporting victories of the local team, in 1900 it was a place of gathering already because if where they put the scores of the football teams, so any fans went there to check them out.
The scores were written in a blackboard right in front of the newspaper's office in la Rambla. The name Canaletes though comes from the 14th century, and it is referred to the water channels that brought water down from Collserola hill into town. On 18th century, a college was built on the site but what they did was to create a fountain, Canaletes, and the water jet was used to supply the fountain.
Canaletes as we see it nowadays,its the result of the demolition of that building in 19th century and at that time is when the construction of the fountain as it is now, took place. An iron monument with four water spouts that have the Barcelona shield, the fountain is crowned with a streetlamp of four arms.
The legend says that anyone who drinks water from the fountain will return to Barcelona, if I were you just in case I would drink! If you want to know more interesting facts about FCB Barcelona read our related articles.

Test conditions
No macroscopic effects such as activity, feeding, or locomotion differences were observed in polecats in any of the treatment groups. Body weight was unaffected by BPA exposure when comparing across treatment group and sex, but male polecats were found to have a mean body mass almost twice that of females. For this reason the BMI of males was significantly greater than the BMI of females although there was no significant difference between BMIs of different treatment groups. Absolute and relative liver weights were unaffected by BPA exposure in both males and females with the exception of females in the 250 mg/kg body weight/day group, whose mean and relative liver weight were greater than those in the control group. Testosterone, estradiol, and FSH concentrations were not significantly affected by BPA exposure. T3, T4, and TSH levels were not significantly different with respect to treatment group, although females were found to have significantly higher T3/T4 ratios than males. Cortisol concentrations in females were significantly decreased in the 50 mg BPA/kg body weight/day group compared to females in the control. Plasma leptin concentrations did not vary significantly between control and treatment groups. EROD activity was not significantly affected by BPA exposure. GST levels increased significantly in females exposed to 250 mg BPA/kg body weight/day compared to female controls. UDPGT activity was significantly increased in both males (250 mg/kg bw/day) and females (50 and 250 mg/kg bw/day) compared to the control, when exposed to BPA. There was a significant correlation between both UDPGT and GST levels, and BPA dose. Discriminant analysis indicated an overall deviation from the physiology of the control group when polecats were given BPA doses of 50 and 250 mg/kg bw/day with slight changes beginning somewhere between 10 and 50 mg/kg bw/day. The endocrine effects were less pronounced than the change in enzyme activities. BPA induced phase II enzyme reactions (UDPGT and GST) in a dose-dependent manner.
