Glaramara House (or similar)
Meals Provided: Dinner
Day 2 - Hike to Keswick via Cat Bells
We start our first walk from the door of our hotel after breakfast. Heading up through open countryside we hike for 45 minutes and then make a short, steep ascent to a mountain pass over-looking Dale Head and the tarn below. We continue up to High Spy and then ramble along the top of this wide ridge for an hour to reach Maiden Moor and then on to Cat Bells. There are fabulous views over Derwent Water and mountain peaks in all directions. At Cat Bells there are 360-degree views of the surrounding fells and from here we descend to the valley floor and continue walking to Keswick. This pretty market town is home to some great shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. Later this afternoon we head back to the hotel in our minibus.
Today's moderately-graded walk will take approximately 6 hours and will cover a distance of 14 kilometres with a total ascent of 700m and 530m descent.
Day 3 - Hike Buttermere and Haystacks
A short drive from the hotel over Honister Pass takes us past stark, rocky scenery towards Buttermere Lake. From here, we start our hike up towards the imposing band of rocks that stand like the wall of a fortress. Our route ascends through the hills and soon we reach the top of Haystacks (597m) with fabulous views across Ennerdale Valley and to the great peaks of Pillar and Great Gable. Haystacks gained fame thanks to the writings of Alfred Wainwright as his favourite fell-top of all, and his ashes were scattered here. We continue towards High Crag on the Red Pike Ridge before descending along a different route with beautiful views of Buttermere and Crummock Water.
Today's moderately-graded walk will take approximately 5-6 hours and will cover a distance of 11 kilometres with a total ascent of 700m and 600m descent.
Day 4 - Scafell Pike: highest mountain in England (978m)
The ascent of Scafell Pike is the most challenging hike of the week and takes us to some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. After a very short drive we start at the hamlet of Seathwaite and follow the river to the 18th century packhorse Stockley Bridge. We continue beside Grains Ghyll to the impressive gullies of Great End and then to Sprinkling Tarn. From here we make our way through heather and grasslands and on to rocky terrain following a good path through the scree and boulders. We reach the summit plateau of Scafell Pike in around 4 hours. The views from the top on a clear day are outstanding with Moasdale and Wast Water below us and the Irish Sea and Southern Lakes in the distance. We will descend, steeply at first, with some scree to join up with the classic Corridor Route that leads us past Styhead Tarn and eventually back to our start point. There is one very short section of easy scrambling.
Today's challenging-graded walk will take approximately 7 hours and will cover a distance of 15 kilometres with a total ascent of 970m and 970m descent.
Please note that if you prefer an easier guided walk, there is the option to do the two tarns hike which follows the same route from Seathwaite and along Grains Ghyll to the impressive gullies of Great End. We descend to Sprinkling Tarn and enjoy the views of some of the highest mountains in England before descending to Styhead Tarn. We then follow the path down Styhead Pass, past the lovely waterfall of Taylor Ghyll Force, and the famous Stockley Bridge back to Seathwaite.
This alternative easy-moderate graded walk will take approximately 4 hours and will cover a distance of 10 kilometres with a total ascent and descent of 510m.
Day 5 - Drive to Keswick; Walk up Latrigg and Lonscale Craggs
We drive the short distance back to Keswick where our circular hike commences. After crossing the River Greta we gently climb through the forest on the Cumbria Way. There are lots of birds and wildlife and the views of Derwent Water get better as we climb. We will take a breather at Latrigg, with wonderful views over Keswick and Derwent Water below and Skiddaw and Blencathra above us. We continue up above Latrigg and on to Lonscale Craggs. Our return route takes us through Brindholme wood and eventually we join the dismantled railway and follow its course, crossing the river a number of times. We end back in Keswick with time for visits to teashops and pubs before driving back to our hotel.
Today's moderate-graded walk will take approximately 5 hours and will cover a distance of 14 kilometres with a total ascent and descent of 350m.
Day 6 - Walk from Stonethwaite to Grasmere
For our final walk of the holiday, we make a short journey by bus to the pretty hamlet of Stonethwaite. Starting here, we cross the river and briefly follow the Cumbria Way and then the path south that runs next to the river. Very gently we gain height as we head towards a small pass at Greenup Edge, just under High Raise. There are wide views of the valley that we just hiked up and over to the valley on the other side. Hike amongst the hills of Grasmere Common and on to the beautiful Easedale Tarn before heading into Grasmere itself. Grasmere is associated with the Lake Poets, most notably William Wordsworth. Finally, we drive back to our hotel.
Today's moderate-graded walk will take approximately 5-6 hours and will cover a distance of 13 kilometres with a total ascent and descent of 650m.
Day 7 - Trip ends in Seatoller
The trip ends after breakfast at our hotel.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Being an offensive lineman for the Seattle Seahawks this season was a tough proposition.
No players drew more ire and more criticism from analysts and fans than the ones responsible for protecting quarterback Russell Wilson. Much of the criticism was justified. The main reason Seattle ranked 25th in the NFL in rushing and allowed Wilson to be sacked 41 times was issues by a young, inexperienced group up front.
But all those hoping the Seahawks would start over and spend big to bring in a completely new offensive line next season were given a dose of reality by Pete Carroll this week.
That's not necessarily what Seattle fans wanted to hear: The Seahawks are attempting to reconstruct a position group using young players rather than spending resources.
It's a risky proposition if you miss on the right players, but can be a huge success if done correctly and allows for money to be spent elsewhere.
Because of their youth, the Seahawks had the lowest-paid offensive line in the NFL, spending just over $6 million on its inexperienced unit. Seattle ended up starting a converted basketball player at left tackle, a rookie at right guard, a second-year player with one previous game at left guard and a center on his third position in three years.
Seattle's offensive line was bound to struggle. In Carroll's eyes, that also means he sees the potential in their future as a united group.
The anchor for that group will be center Justin Britt. After playing right tackle and left guard his first two seasons, Britt found a home at center. He was a Pro Bowl alternate and the most consistent of Seattle's linemen.
Britt will be one of the certainties for next season along with rookie Germain Ifedi, whom Carroll intends on keeping at right guard despite his experience as a tackle in college. Left tackle George Fant was a basketball player less than two years ago and left guard Mark Glowinski had one start prior to this season.

Final Scratch is a DJ tool created by the Dutch company N2IT with input from Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman) and John Acquaviva that allows manipulation and playback of digital audio sources using traditional vinyl and turntables. It seeks to cross the divide between the versatility of digital audio and the tactile control of vinyl turntablism.

Final Scratch uses special vinyl records pressed with a digital timecode, which are then played on normal turntables. The timecode signal is interpreted by a computer, connected to the turntables through an interface called the ScratchAmp. The signal represents where the stylus is on the record, in which direction it is traveling, and at what speed. This information is interpreted by the computer and used to play back a digital audio file which has been 'mapped' to the turntable. In practical terms, this means that any audio file can be manipulated as though it was pressed on vinyl.

Features

Final Scratch offers the ability to play audio tracks unavailable on vinyl e.g. pre-arranged loops, unreleased music or rare tracks. Furthermore, it allows the use of CD deck features (software permitting) such as keylock, pitch shift, looping, instant cue locating and visual indicators of audio features such as loud or quiet parts, and the ability to prevent needle skips on the vinyl being reflected in the playback of the audio track being played/controlled (software permitting). However, it comes at the expense of reliability; depending on the hardware/software configuration used, vinyl emulation systems may use more system resources than some laptops or PCs offer, making them unsuitable for this use.

History

The original Final Scratch concept and prototypes were developed by the Dutch company N2IT V.O.F, by Mark-Jan Bastian, with help from Tim Hemel and Bill Squire.
It has passed through multiple stages of development.  These stages are marked by involvement with different companies, hardware configurations, software developers, licensees and licensors, and operating systems.

Pre-release
Final Scratch was originally developed for BeOS.

Versions 1.0-1.5
All versions of Final Scratch 1 use the same Scratchamp, a USB and RCA device in a round aluminium shell. The technical specifications of this device have been closely guarded by Stanton as an anti-piracy measure, though some users, unsatisfied with the latency and instability of the system, have alleged the use of faulty Philips sound chips which had already been withdrawn from the market.  However, the same chipset was being used in several other USB audio devices manufactured by companies like Griffin and Roland at that time.

FS 1.0 was released for PC only, on a specially modified distribution of Debian Linux. It was relatively primitive but some users found that, if configured correctly, it outperformed all subsequent versions of Final Scratch 1.x.

With version 1.1, Stanton Magnetics began working with Native Instruments on the software side of the product, which became Traktor Final Scratch. As the name suggests, this bore a resemblance to the interface of Traktor, a Native Instruments software DJing product. This version was once again available on Linux, but was also ported to Mac OS X.

The next major revision was version 1.5, which added a Windows XP version, but dropped Linux support.  This version also added the ability to keep the pitch of the record constant whilst shifting the tempo. The interface changed very little, but some users initially had issues with the Windows Scratchamp drivers.

Support for the original Scratchamp has all but since disappeared and current owners, disappointed by the lack of support by Stanton, have had to rely on old versions of Traktor FS or Digiscratch.

Version 2
Version 2 marks the introduction of both a new Scratchamp hardware device and different software compatibility.

This new Scratchamp made 24-bit/96 kHz digital quality playback and record possible.  Stanton added an ASIO driver, and MIDI capabilities.  They also replaced the USB interface with FireWire which was intended to reduce playback latency.  The new Scratchamp was developed by Alan Flum, Len Bryan, Mark DeMouy and Jim Mazur.

The version 2 Scratchamp is compatible with Native Instruments Traktor DJ Studio versions 2.6 and through 3.2.0.85 (Mac).  NI has dropped support of SA2 in favor of their own vinyl system Traktor Scratch.

Final Scratch Open
In late 2005, Stanton and Native Instruments ended their working relationship.  Stanton still markets the ScratchAmp hardware as part of Final Scratch Open, introduced in early 2007.  Stanton claims that the ScratchAmp can now interact with any audio software through ASIO or WDM on Windows, and  CoreAudio in Mac OS X.  Although all Windows and Mac audio software is ostensibly compatible with Final Scratch Open, there is no dedicated software program for deejaying with the ScratchAmp hardware.

Internal workings
The internal workings of Final Scratch are quite simple to understand. Multiple open source software libraries have been created to decode the Final Scratch time code. The information here comes from those libraries.

A basic Final Scratch setup consists of five pieces of equipment.
 A computer running a compatible software, usually Native Instrument's Traktor
 The ScratchAmp
 Two turntables or two CD decks made for DJing
 Two time coded vinyl records or time coded CDs
 An audio DJ mixer.

ScratchAmp

The ScratchAmp is a FireWire (FS 2, FS Open) or USB (FS 1) audio device. It has two phono/line stereo level inputs to read the timecode from the record or the CD, and two line level stereo outputs to feed into the audio DJ mixer line channels. It also has two phono stereo outputs for pass-through of the actual phono audio signal. This is useful for DJs who wish to play both digital audio tracks AND traditional vinyl; allowing them to switch between the two sources without disconnecting or re-connecting audio jacks in the middle of a DJ set.

The ScratchAmp does not store any audio on its own, it is simply a purpose built external Soundcard.  It communicates with a PC—usually a laptop—over the FireWire or USB connection. The laptop uses Final Scratch compatible software (typically Traktor DJ Studio) to interpret the timecode signal from the supplied special vinyl/CD, then play back a digital audio file based on that signal, allowing traditional DJ vinyl control of MP3, WAV and Apple AAC audio files. The Laptop software then sends audio data back, over the same FireWire/USB connection to the scratch amp, which then sends an audio signal out through the line level output, for playing through a DJ Mixer or Amp.

Audio/data routing

A step by step series of events detailing how Final Scratch operates;

 Timecoded audio signal pressed onto vinyl/CD picked up by vinyl/CD turntable
 Signal routed into ScratchAmp via phono connection, then into the PC via USB or FireWire
 DJ software decodes timecode signal and determines position, speed and direction the Vinyl/CD is being played or manipulated
 DJ software plays the selected "mapped" digital audio file synchronous to the vinyl/CD playback
 Digital audio file audio signal is sent to the Scratchamp phono connectors for connection to a DJ mixer or amp

Vinyl/CD time code

The most complex piece of the Final Scratch setup is the code pressed onto the vinyl. A 1200 hertz amplitude modulated sine wave is pressed into the left and right channels with a phase difference of 90 degrees. Each channel holds one of the two bit streams required for the time code. In one cycle of either wave form, two bits are stored: one on the positive voltage peak and one on the negative voltage valley. The relative amplitudes of these peaks represent either a binary one or zero. A relatively high amplitude on either peak represents a one, a relatively low amplitude represents a zero. In each channel is a separate bitstream, the left channel is not identical to the right (disregarding the phase difference).

The time codes themselves consist of 40 individual bits, or 20 cycles on each channel's waveform. On the right channel the bit sequence of 0, 0, 0, 1 represents the start sequence for a single time code. Those four bits along with the four corresponding bits on the left channel and the next 16 bits on each channel can be decoded as an integer position value which represents where the needle is on the record. The speed at which the record is spinning can be found by comparing the frequency of the waveform being read from the record to the true frequency of the wave form on the record at normal speed. This difference represents the change from the normal speed at which the record turns. The direction which the record is spinning at any given time can be found using the phase difference between the waves on the two channels. This procedure is the same as that used to determine the direction in which a ball mouse is moving. Because a single time code is made up of 40 consecutive bits, read errors can cause a timecode to be unreadable even if a single bit is misread. A bit that has become unreadable due to a scratch can make an entire 40 bit long time code permanently unreadable. Dust can have a similar effect on the time code. The time code implements very little error checking, an attribute strong in a number of other vinyl control systems.

Culatello: the Pig's Finest Cut
by Giulia Ubaldi Contributor
Only the most prized cut of the pig is used for making this most precious salume. Join us on a journey through the Po Valley to discover the best culatello.
"Culatello" is cut from the most prized muscular portion of the pig's hind leg. This unique ham lives among the old, damp cellars on the "Strada del Culatello" (or "Culatello Way"), an endless itinerary of local stops nestled in the fog of the Po Valley, reminiscent of the good old days when agreements were built on keeping one's word and where many of the current owners became such with nothing but a firm handshake straight out of the past...
Parma is the only province where you say salume in the singular (instead of the plural salumi). This should offer some insight into the uniqueness behind every single pork product here. Starting, obviously, with culatello.
The birth of culatello
Culatello already existed in the lowlands of Parma as early as 1300, but it was called "prosciutto senz'osso" (boneless prosciutto) for reasons related to the Church, which would not have appreciated the use of its current name at the time (culatello literally means "little butt"). Like just about everything, culatello was born of necessity: the need to age ham in a very humid climate. Since the pig's leg couldn't be aged due to too much humidity, the prosciutto needed to be deboned and the "fiocco" section separated from the culatello. So culatello is essentially the result of fog, cold, and humidity, in addition to the ingenuity of the locals who skillfully reinvented a product based on their needs and the local conditions. Culatello is crafted using ancient artisanal skills passed down from generation to generation. Once it's salted, twine is wrapped around the meat in a spiral pattern, providing its signature pear shape. It's hung "nude" for its first resting period, after which it is massaged, allowing the salt to penetrate even further. After a few days, it's "dressed" with the pig's bladder, encased in a tight rope net, and aged for 12 to 24 months. Once ready, it's always presented in its large-mesh twine netting. Families have always made it this way. Poorer ones almost always to sell, as it was a food for the nobility and the earnings allowed at least another pig to be purchased. Or it was kept for special occasions, for example, as a gift to the doctor if he saved someone's wife during childbirth, or as present for the wedding of a child. The traditions of that time remain today in the cultural heritage of Parma's families: a gift to be given and enjoyed for important occasions, nurturing a deep atavistic respect for the delicacy. Its current name only appeared around 1730.
Culatello di Zibello: DOP label and Slow Food Presidia
Since the Italian DOP label has made the designation of origin obligatory for the product, we are now 100% sure of the impostors that were being sold under its illustrious name – although in reality, there are first-rate culatello producers that fall outside of the DOP label. Anselmo Bocci, for example, hasn't been not included merely because it's located in Fornovo di Taro, which is still in the province of Parma but not within the designated area of production. Forming part of the Consortium are 23 producers in the towns of Polesine, Busseto, Soragna, Roccabianca, San Secondo, Sissa, Colorno and, obviously, Zibello. Even though each producer must abide by the production regulations, no culatello is identical to another, as what makes it so different and unique is – apart from the quality of the meat and the skills of the butcher – the cellar and its molds. As a matter of fact, many producers have abandoned this practice to due modern housing with heating systems. But the person responsible for having the product protected under the DOP label, who fought for culatello to become a Slow Food Presidia product, who did everything possible to make this delicacy known throughout the world, is none other than renowned Italian chef Massimo Spigaroli.
Massimo Spigaroli and the Antica Corte Pallavicina
When they would go around to buy culatello for the tavern, Massimo Spigaroli's father taught him to distinguish the scents of the cellars. Those smells have stayed with him and made him an expert in the first place. The Spigarolis were "Verdi" farmers, which meant that, like other families in the Parma area, they worked for the great musician Giuseppe Verdi, not only on his land, but also as at-home pork butchers. In fact, the Spigarolis were the type of peasants who only saw culatello in passing, as it was always being sold first to the aristocrats and then to the tavern. At the end of the 19th century, the family moved to the Antica Corte Pallavicina, near the river, where in 1920 Grandfather Luigi founded the first ferry with a wooden shack at each of the two terminals, which the women of the family transformed into two taverns (where they offered various types of culatello from the area). From this moment on, all of the products from the farm were transformed: milk into cheese, grapes into wine, fruit into jams, flour into bread. In short, the same activities that still continue today. Later on, when the Antica Corte was abandoned, taken over by the state, and put up for sale, the Spigaroli family did not hesitate to purchase it – something that, deep down, had never really stopped being theirs. So after 20 years of renovations, Antica Corta Pallavicina continues with what the Spigarolis have always proven to do best: agriculture, hospitality, food, and above all, the production of refined, exquisite culatello. Spigaroli's variety is aged for no less than 12 months in a unique, ancient cellar full of history and the right kinds of mold. They produce 8,000 pieces from local white pigs and 250 from black pigs, continually brushing off any mold that might form on the meat. The ham is so popular that it's already reserved at least two years in advance by figures such as Italian chef Massimo Bottura and even Prince Charles – a culinary futures contract of sorts. As his mother would always tell him: "Let the world know who you are and what you do, otherwise no one will come to you."
The "Culatello Supremo"
Culatello is such a serious topic that there's even a fellowship on its behalf. It meets every year at the castle-palace of Rocca Meli Lupi, presided over by the Grand Master, Prince Diofebo di Soragna. Donning their red cloaks and feathered caps, they come together to vote for the "Culatello Supremo" and the "Gran Culatello," judged by their color, aroma, texture, flavor, and aftertaste. Each culatello is presented with no mention of the producer's name. After the first selection of 25, they are then narrowed down to 10, and finally the two winners. Among the participants have been some famous Italian actors, such as Renato Pozzetto, and other acclaimed figures, all in secret of course.
How to enjoy and pair culatello
Culatello should be eaten on its own, with your hands and a bit of wine. What kind? The only quality to consider when choosing the right wine is that it doesn't mask the rosy, musky flavor of the culatello. Some great options are Strologo Brut, a local traditional method variety, or even champagne or Franciacorta. Alternatively, some white wines also work well, such as a Trebbiano, Verdicchio, or Riesling.
Spalla Cruda di Palasone and Nebbione dell'Antica Ardenga
In addition to a masterful culatello, at his small company Antica Ardenga, Massimo Pezzani (a producer of one of the DOP label varieties) produces other similar but less-known products, such as Spalla Cruda. To protect its preservative-free aging, particularly in the bone-in version, Spalla has become a Slow Food Presidia product. After being cleaned and trimmed of the rind, it is vigorously rubbed with coarse sea salt and pepper before being placed upside down in a basin on top of supports that prevent it from coming into contact with any liquids released. The process is repeated for around eight days, then once the salting phase is complete, the meat is encased in the pig's bladder. But it doesn't end here, as there are countless ways to craft culatello. Massimo Pezzani patented his very own alternative product: Nebbione dell'Antica Ardenga, or a halfway point between culatello and culatta, encased in the pig's bladder just like culatello.

Odd man out and series topic depends upon all basic concepts we have studied till now in this aptitude session.
Numbers, A.P./G.P., Squares and cube roots, binomial theorem, etc.
Being logical and increasing your intelligence will help in solving the problems of odd man out and series. Your perspective in solving these types of problems should be unique.
Different problems related to alphabets, numbers, metals, etc can be asked, hence different rules, differences should be figured out quickly to solve because time is limited.
The series may consist of odd numbers /even numbers or prime numbers except one number, which will be the odd man out. Hence, before solving numerical on this topic must revise all basic concepts.
Squares: 9, 16, 49, 81 ….
Cubes: 27, 64, 125, 216 ….
The series contains numbers which are multiple of different numbers.
Example: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20…..
Arithmetic progression: x, x + y, x + 2y, x + 3y are said to be in A.P.
The terms in series may be arithmetic or geometric progression.
In this type, the third number is the addition of previous two numbers.
In this type, the terms are defined on the basis of powers of numbers; the number may be expressed in the form of n3 – n.
8. The middle digit is the sum of other two digits.


An immeasurable reason many resolutions do not work: people set unrealistic expectations. They do not evaluate a plan for these impracticable new standards for themselves. People think they can accomplish these habits by winging it. Many people focus on working out and losing weight as a common New Year's resolution; instead of deciding to go to the gym everyday, start out small. For an example, go to the gym once a week. After feeling comfortable with this new habit, add on more days to work out until you reach your final goal.
When a new year starts, people obsess themselves with multiple new habits leading to stress themselves out. Many people fail with all these unreasonable bits containing no plan. This causes people to overwhelm themselves.
"People set their minds on a superficial goal, later deciding that it isn't worth their time or easily doable", a senior said.
Focusing on the end result of a goal essentializes to completing a resolution, but many tend to focus too much on the future forgetting about right now. People get excited and do well in the first two weeks or two, but then wear themselves out and become unmotivated. Focusing the mind on the current task to push through, and not on future tasks to be completed until the time comes.
"[I] make [my resolutions] them my goal daily," a sophomore explained.
People who typically do not have an important reason to motivate them will not stick with their resolutions. Many people working to lose weight want a stronger or healthier build. So few want to change themselves for an important reason on becoming changing themselves. After awhile, many realize they do not need to change the changes they want and or do not see the point so they lose all motivation.
"I try to keep myself motivated to it and I remind myself why I am doing it," explained an accomplished sophomore student who worked out everyday for the past year.
Anyone can fail unless they have a little help to push them along. Wanting to work out, going with someone to the gym or telling someone your goals in order to hold you accountable. This helps to motivate you to the gym or accomplishing a resolution. Similarly, to how people need to finish an assignment or your grade will go down. Not showing up to the gym to meet a friend, may cause division between your friendship.
"I write down [my goals] and place it somewhere I will see it everyday," a sophomore student said.
People fail at many things but the best thing will to come clean about our mistakes. Also recognizing accomplishments encourages those to stick with the work required to finishing their resolutions.
"It's hard for people to change their ways," a senior student said.
People cannot change if they do not admit they already deal with an issue on their own accord.

How not to choose a leader – by England's FA
May 14, 2006 Leadership, Sunday Nation
This country appears to be obsessed with football – as long as it's not Kenyan. We spend many months engrossed in the ins and outs of the English Premiership, La Liga and Serie A. And now we're all preparing for the ultimate festival of international football – the World Cup itself. All Kenya, it seems, will disappear for a month.
So let this column talk football today. (Actually, we're going to discuss executive selection – but that may not be apparent for a while). I would like to focus on an important event: the recent naming of the England national team manager. Mr. Steve McClaren, manager of Middlesbrough Football Club, was named to the country's top post to succeed the outgoing Sven-Goran Eriksson, a Swede, and England's first non-English manager.
The national team manager is named by the English Football Association (FA), who formed a selection panel to conduct this most difficult of recruitment processes. They appeared to start well: a short-list of potential candidates was agreed, and after much discussion, the panel zoomed in on a preferred candidate.
Just one problem: that candidate was not Steve McClaren. After months of speculation that the FA had decided to go for a full-blooded Englishman this time, the surprise news emerged that the top target was actually Felipe Scolari, a Brazilian who had guided his national team to the ultimate prize – the World Cup – in 2002. Mr. Scolari currently coaches Portugal, and seemed adamant that he would not talk to other teams until after next month's world tourney.
Undeterred, the FA sent a delegation to Lisbon to get their man. Britain's media pack followed, like vultures encircling a kill. Following two days of intense speculation, the volatile Mr. Scolari emerged to say that he was not, after all, interested. The FA was left aghast. It went back to the drawing board, and quickly named Mr. McClaren as the compromise candidate. His main credentials seemed to be that he is indeed English; and that he has deputised for his predecessor, the dour Eriksson, for a number of years.
A poll on Sky News taken immediately after the announcement showed that two-thirds of Britons were opposed to the selection.
Before I lose all the people who can't stand football from this page forever, let us get to the point. The English FA's selection fiasco (for that is what it was) has important lessons in top-executive selection, and we must heed them. So if you are involved in choosing and appointing the leaders of any team or organisation (or nation): pay attention.
First and foremost: you must always go for the best possible candidate. There can be no compromises in the selection of leaders; no half-measures; no concessions. You have to get the best available man or woman (subject, of course, to affordability). Leadership, by definition, is not for everyone. Great leadership is resident in precious few individuals. It must be discerned and grasped. Top leaders influence the lives of many, whether they are heading a football team, an NGO, a corporation or a country. The top seat is no place for the merely mediocre.
A warning: we must not confuse loudness for greatness. We often do, and the results are not inspiring. The best candidate is frequently the quieter one – but the one who shows a steely determination to focus on the task at hand and produce real results.
Second, you must define your criteria very carefully. How often do we see all sorts of selection criteria emerging that have nothing to do with performance? The English FA, listening to the shrill voices of English coaches, decided early on to pack its short-list with Englishmen. These included Mr. McClaren, under whose reign Middlesbrough has lost nearly as many games as it has won; Mr. Sam Allardyce of Bolton Wanderers; and Mr Alan Curbishley of Charlton Athletic. The pugnacious Mr. Allardyce is often labelled a proponent of 'anti-football': rather than play the game, his teams seem to come out to prevent their opponents from playing theirs. Mr. Curbishley's long reign at Charlton ended last week with a 4-0 spanking by Manchester United. All three Englishmen have kept their teams rooted in mid-table mediocrity for years.
Indeed, none of the managers of the teams finishing in the top six places in the English Premiership's recently concluded season is English. The FA, searching to justify its selection, was forced to say that Mr. McClaren was the only English manager on its shortlist to have won a "major trophy". They were referring to the Carling Cup, a trophy so unglamorous that Manchester United (who won it earlier this year) are embarrassed to even talk about it.
This happens very often in Kenya. Top places are repeatedly given to people because of nationality, tribe, ethnicity or kinship. People are appointed because they "come from the region", or because they are "our own". The results ensuing from these appointments can usually be seen by all. By contrast, a leader selected after a rigorous selection process focusing on the right criteria usually goes on to great things. A look at our top corporations will confirm this for you.
England was its own worst enemy in this regard. Mr. Scolari's main reason for declining the appointment seemed to be the ridiculous intrusion into his life by British 'paparazzi': at one stage two dozen journalists were camped in his front garden waiting to pounce. Already British tabloids were running comparisons of his wife's dress sense compared to that of Mr. Eriksson's more glamorous partner. Who would want any part of that?
A third lesson: define a clear selection process, and conduct it professionally. The FA's antics should be in a 'don't do' manual: don't fudge the key selection criteria from the beginning; don't suddenly decide to breach protocol to seal a deal; don't leak things to the media until you are sure of the outcome; and don't end up naming compromise candidates in a panic.
Of course, even the most rigorous process can fail to deliver the right candidate. Executive selection is, at the end of the day, as much about gut instinct and plain luck as anything else. But that does not mean we should throw ourselves up to whimsy; nor that we should conduct it in disarray and hope for the best. We owe it our stakeholders, whoever they are, to be thorough and thoughtful at every stage.
It is difficult not to feel sorry for Mr. McClaren. He knows he is at best second-choice; he knows that his selection is more to do with genes than genius. Perhaps he will surprise us all. But his last game in charge of Middlesbrough did not shower hope all over England. His team played in the UEFA Cup (Europe's second-tier cup tournament) final earlier this week. Their opponents were FC Sevilla, a Spanish side who had not won a major cup since 1948. Middlesbrough were thrashed 4-0, the worst margin in a final in the history of the tournament. Mr. McClaren said he was leaving his club to lead England "with his head held high".


The side looks like a lump of metal that Audi is better than any other brand. From the top of the headlight, the tornado line, which extends across the front panel to the combination lamp and gives the dynamics of the vehicle, is added to the side, resulting in a more lively and stable ratio. Side mirrors that have moved toward the shoulder line for aerodynamics have now become accustomed.
The design changes are not large compared to the front. However, the silhouette of the rear combination lamp was changed to create a more sporty and dynamic image. Of course, Audi's unique, balanced and stable image continues to flow from the existing 8th generation A4, and it is also blooming in the 9th generation. Of course, the dual-muffler tip makes the sporty sense of detail even more eye-catching.
The interior of the Audi A4 has been reflected throughout the design elements of the latest Audi. The center fascia, which is composed mainly of dashboards and drivers, which incorporates an airbot integrated from the center of the car, which was seen in Q7 to the end of the passenger seat, attracts attention. At the top of the dashboard is a wide display with a clean finish, and at the bottom of the center fascia, neatly organized buttons are eye-catching.
But it is the virtual cockpit that attracts the driver. A high-resolution display with good visibility exposes a variety of information related to driving. It is also attractive that you can fill in the screen-filled navigation screen or you can easily use the various functions via the function buttons on the steering wheel.
The 9th generation A4 seems to reflect the mood of the 8th generation A4, which was recently depressed by the rapid growth of competitive models. The A4, like the competition model that is growing in size recently, offers a space for adult men to sit down. The head room and the leg room are also ample, and the size of the seat is also satisfactory regardless of the size of the body.
Even more impressive is the expansion of the two-column space. The size of the seat is also ample, and the leg room is also available for adult men to sit comfortably. This part was definitely not what we expected from the 8th generation A4, but it was a clear improvement over the 9th generation A4. It is no exaggeration to say that A4 has D segment or more.
On the other hand, the trunking space is 480L, which is similar to the models of the same class, and it can be folded at 40:20:40 in two rows of seats. When the two-row seat is fully folded, it can secure up to 962L of loading space, so it can fully utilize the space required for daily life, and spare tires that can be used in similar situations are also loaded.
On the other hand, the output of 252 hp, 38.0 kg.m is effectively transmitted through the quattro system, accelerating from a stop to 100 km / h in 5.8 seconds faster than all-wheel drive. The maximum speed is limited to 210 km / h, which is somewhat uncomfortable with the output. Fuel consumption is 11.6km / L (10.2km / L high speed and 13.9km / L high speed).
I opened the door and left the body, adjusted the seat, and started the engine by pressing the engine start button. I feel a sense of confidence in the output somewhere, though I feel that it is lacking in boldness compared to other brands. The A4 45 TFSI, which revamped its drivetrain, has begun its full-scale run in anticipation of what kind of difference it will have with the 8th generation A4 and what kind of presence it will show between the current competition models.
If you step on the accelerator pedal, you will see a rash that will strike you out without any resistance. The A4, which once started to move, tries to hide the sound of a violent sound or the sound of a wind blowing without letting it actively. The speedometer, of course, quickly changes positions and boasts a steep acceleration. The taste that stimulates the peripheral nerves is lacking, but it can be felt that it has transformed into a more luxurious existence.
It is also important to have an excellent transmission in such a luxury. It boasts S-Tronic's unique high-speed transmission speed, but it prevents the driver from feeling uncomfortable in the shifting situation, thus making it a more complete existence.
Of course, depending on the driving situation, you can change the character of the car by using Audi Drive Select which can be adjusted with efficiency, ride quality, automatic, dynamic and indivisual.
The quattro system, which is more convincing than any other system, seems to be tempted to run at faster speeds because it is able to bite and accelerate through the corner of the lane when cornering. Although it is different from the smooth and laid-back feeling of driving throughout the vehicle, Audi's driving performance has always been maintained above its competitors.
People often say that the movement of a vehicle with a four-wheel drive system is frustrating, which is generally expressed as a loss of performance due to the weight of a four-wheel drive system. However, it is hard to find such a regret for the Audi A4. Because it is as light as the competition model of its class, there is no shortage of movement, and as the speed increases, the feeling of 'willingness to reflect the driver's opinion 100%' is felt.
In addition, due to various safety and convenience specifications in daily driving, it is also possible to travel comfortably. The optional lane departure warning system and the presence sense system to prevent large and small contact accidents are installed. The effect can be expected. It can be said that it is a vehicle with a high degree of satisfaction throughout the range of functions from basic driving to various functions.

Why Can't We Get It?
Sir I have had it.
I can't stand any more. The mind, I'm afaird, can only take so much of the follicks of this world, and believe me, we have taken so much. God and presumably Louise only know what prossesses this curious young lady to write letters whose (apparently) sole purpose is to carry to the ears of the world the words: coek, bullshit, Frenchies, gutsache, balls, crap, (and occasionally through a mental aberration) twit.
Why a thoroughly nice girl from a nice home, having just left a nice school (bright, forward-looking Onslow College), should find herself compelled to mouth 1950's angry-young-man platitudes in the language of a lower-sixth schoolboy passes my comprehension.
I've just been reading the latest missive, some sort of mountaing in the wake of a God/morality question that was flogged to death in the seventeenth century. Like all the writing of the lady that I've read, it posits non-arguments on a non-question simply because it is her belief that this sort of rubbish coincides with the majorityof student opinion (—and, Heaven knows, she may be right).
I think possibly it's not always necessary for hackneyed left-wingish, libernlish, radicalish opinions that students are meant to have, to be constantly reiterated by some srange bird with an axe to grind. If, on the other hand, she is being "outrageous" only to make me turn the "Letters to the Editor" page very hurriedly every time I see her name there, could I possibly ask her, through this letter, to give it a bit of a rest, Yours in the bowels of Christ.
S. Morris.
ANZ/BNZ
Sir—In the light ol (i) the overcrowding at the present BNZ facilities and (ii) proposal of the ANZ to extend limited loans to third year students, I suggest that the BNZ monopoly on the campus bo ended. If this monopoly is based on a previous Executive decision then perhaps some energetic execian can reverse the move.
R. Tustin.
Sir—I was stupefied to read some reactionary drivel in your last issue from a certain Cathy Wylie about the proposed Secondary School Students' Union. Miss Wylie who proudly advertises the fact that she represents an abomination of a critical journal, has obviously no contact with the broad masses of H.V.H.S. or any other secondary school in Welling ton: for if she had she might realise that there is an over-whelming feeling of support for the Union and revulsion against authoritarian Education Department School Board/Staff dictatorship.
For too long, sir have the pupils of our secondary school been oppressed and tricked by the illusion of School Councils and School magazines! For too long have we seen our cherished ideas crushed before our very eyes and our comrades grow bitter and cynical! For too long have the exploited classes been deprived of true democratic representation and democratic ideas! Give us smokes in our classrooms! Give us liquor in our cafes! Cast away our caps and berets, baubles of class exploitation! Discard our school uniforms, symbols of our slavery! Let the dictatorship of the Third Formers reign in peace and happiness, for ever and ever!
Miss Wylie, as an agent of the Oppressors, rejects the fraternal assistance offered by our university comrades in forming our Union, as interference. But the leader of the masses and the oppressed, our great Helmsman Chairman Mao Tse-Tung has brilliantly pointed out to us the importance of cadres in guiding, educating and helping the masses in revolutionary development. Thus our university comrades are clearly only doing their correct socialist duty. I commend a perusal of Chairman Mao's works to Miss Wylie.
Chairman Mao has also described reactionary elements like Miss Wylie in his essay "The Orientation of the Youth Movement": 'How should we judge whether a youth is a revolution-ary … there can be only one criterion … whether or not he is willing to integrate himself with the broad masses … and does so in practice.' Surely, sir, this exposes Miss Wylie's unmittigated gall in attacking the Secondary Students' Union.
Yours fraternally,
P. L. Franks,
Member Editorial Board Pulp,
Hutt Valley High School.
Sir—Cathy Wylie's attitude may be appropriate within the context of her own school—not that pessimism is going to achieve anything there, either—but since it is reasonable to assume that not all boards ol governors, headmasters, teachers and pupils are the same everywhere, hope, optimism, and persistence in the spreading of our ideas and enthusiasm must be the programme for any nondefeatist.
At the start of her letter Miss Wylie seems to be a defeatist, but at the end she shows herself to be a fully-fledged part of the static establishment. I am happy for Cathy in her admiration for her headmaster—I wonder if this feeling ever lets her disagree with him? Censorship, except for the prevention of what in law passes for obscenitv and libel, partial democracy and establishmentised pupils official positions must be deplored.
I don't know what scientific survey informed Miss Wylie that "You can have just as much (my italics) success with words un-published as words printed", but it must be obvious that once all Other avenues have failed, the still unsatisfied grievances-surely she does not deny that some remain unsatitfied—must be aired in print as one means to the end.
One wonders, when noting Miss Wylie's confident use of the word, "we", whether this is an editorial "we" or if she thinks she is an editorial "we" or if she thinks she is speaking for all the pupils of Hutt Valley High School, or of New Zealand. One wonders.
I would maintain that there will be a large amount of apathy as well as resistance, and we shall try to overcome both. The amount of actual resistance appears. I think, disproportionately large to Miss Wylie, as her companions would be sixth-formers, jealous of their privileges in some cases, especially if they are prefcts.
Nevertheless, Miss Wylie is obviously concerned, and lacks only optimism, in my view.
Yours, etc.,
P. D. Zohrab.
Sir—I think it would be a good idea if Mr David Kommn read Mr Kelly's letters and mine for the second time. Then he might agree with me that his remarks were quite unnecessary,
R. Abhakorn.
