Rivalry cranks up the heat

Every week leading into the Patriots' next game, ESPN NFL analyst Tedy Bruschi and ESPN Patriots reporter Mike Reiss break down the team's next game. This week, it's the home opener, against the New York Jets on Thursday night (NFL Network, 8:25 p.m.).

Mike: Tedy, things didn't turn out exactly the way we envisioned for the Patriots in the season opener, but they still got the win. Now it sets up this quick turnaround and a game that looks a little more challenging for them given injuries to receiver Danny Amendola (groin) and running back Shane Vereen (wrist).

Tedy: I think this week you start with the rivalry that is the Jets and Patriots. These are two teams that have always had dislike for each other. Playing the Jets, you always felt a little more intensity from the coaching staff. You'd be sitting there in Wednesday meetings, the first big meeting of the week, and you could hear a little extra emphasis in the coaches' words. They may keep it close to the vest publicly during the week, but the players want this one bad.

Mike: Tom Brady is 17-4 against the Jets as a starter. Three of those losses have come with Rex Ryan as the Jets' coach. We've seen Brady dissect Ryan's defense in the past, but also there have been times when Ryan has dialed up schemes that gave Brady as much trouble as anyone. That has been my theme this week: For an offense working to find its groove, Ryan might be the last defensive coach the Patriots want to see right now. He might struggle at times with keeping an even keel as a head coach overseeing an entire team, but as a defensive coach, he does present problems for the opposition.

Tedy: Especially after a win, Rex Ryan knows how to keep things going, and when you win a game, it gains even more of the players' attention and gets them focused that much more. Overall, I think Ryan is still growing as a head coach and I say that with the preseason in mind and how he handled quarterback Mark Sanchez. That was such a huge mistake, putting the future of one of your potential starting quarterbacks in jeopardy by having him on the field with an offensive line that couldn't protect late in a game. The situation he's in now, I don't want to call it desperation, but he has nothing to lose. That's why in this game, on a short week and broadcast to a national audience, I could see him going into his bag of tricks. Maybe he goes for it on fourth down, calls some fakes on special teams, that kind of stuff. He's at his best when no one gives them a chance.

Mike: He was playing that up on our media conference call Tuesday, citing ESPN.com's power rankings and how the Jets were 32nd last week. He joked that maybe they'd move up to 31st this week (they were actually 27th). After watching the Jets' 18-17 season-opening win over the Buccaneers, I'd sum up my thoughts on the Jets this way: offensively challenged with limited weapons, strong defensively with a powerful line, and with special-teams units that complement the defense. Let's start on offense, where rookie Geno Smith starts at quarterback.

Tedy: He did some good things and some bad things in the opener, but one thing that stood out to me was how the play-calling of offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg helped settle him down and took some pressure off him. You saw multiple Wildcat snaps with running back Bilal Powell in the backfield and receiver Jeremy Kerley in the backfield. Kerley also had a pass attempt. There were multiple screen plays and roll-outs where the reads for Smith were either half-field or clearly defined. That's something you can do to help a young quarterback. You also saw a lot of chip-releasing from receivers before they got into their pass pattern, which helps protection; you could really see that on a 26-yard catch by receiver Kerley on the Jets' first play. The more time Smith has to survey the defense and deliver a good pass, it's obviously better, and I thought those types of things really helped him last week and reflected the presence of a veteran offensive coordinator.

Mike: Similar to rookie Bills quarterback EJ Manuel, I was impressed by Smith. It obviously wasn't perfect -- he was strip-sacked deep in Jets territory leading to a touchdown and also threw a bad interception late in the second quarter -- but all things considered for a first career NFL start it was solid. I think the Patriots' defensive game-plan will be similar to what we saw in Buffalo: a heavy focus on rush-lane integrity because Smith can make plays with his feet too, just like Manuel. In other words, make him prove he can beat you from the pocket.

Tedy: Here's one thing the Patriots' defense can expect to see again: a bunch formation in the red area. Tight end Kellen Winslow's 7-yard touchdown in the second quarter came out of a bunch, and so did Bills receiver Robert Woods' 18-yard touchdown against the Patriots in the opener. When coaches see that teams have a problem with communication, and a play like that is already in your package, it's something the Patriots should prepare for. I'd say the main player to watch would be receiver Kerley, who looked like their most dynamic offensive weapon, but he was ruled out after sustaining a concussion. That's a big loss for the Jets.

Mike: Kerley is also their top return man. So look for 2010 first-round pick Kyle Wilson to step into that returner role, which is a downgrade. Winslow played well for them in the opener, and they seemed to want to get Powell the ball in the passing game on running back screens. Receiver Santonio Holmes looked like a non-factor (44 snaps played, 1 catch) -- cornerback Darrelle Revis might have had a part in that -- as this is an offense that generally lacks explosiveness.

Tedy: It's an approach that almost defines Ryan, starting with a tough offensive line that will fight you. Left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold are solid, and the right guard Willie Colon is a guy I always felt was a scrapper. He doesn't have overwhelming size or ability but he fights and that's what you respect in an offensive lineman. The backs, Chris Ivory and Powell, run hard. The one place they must attack is the inexperience of the rookie quarterback. Disguise everything you can. The Jets utilize a slower tempo than the Bills. With more time in between snaps you can show a pre-snap defensive look and get in position for what you are really running post-snap.

Mike: I think defensive tackle Tommy Kelly and defensive end Chandler Jones (as an interior sub rusher) could have big games, as Colon and fellow left guard Vlad Ducasse looked like they struggled at times in the opener. On the play Smith was strip-sacked, Ducasse -- the former UMass lineman -- couldn't hold his block. If I'm the Patriots, I'm isolating the matchup on the guards as much as possible. Now let's look at the other side of the ball and the Jets' defense.

Tedy: The defense has some similarities to what the Patriots saw in Buffalo. That makes sense because the Bills' first-year coordinator, Mike Pettine, had the same role with the Jets from 2009 to 2012. In that scheme, they expect a lot out of their cornerbacks and the Jets have Antonio Cromartie and rookie Dee Milliner, the ninth overall pick in the draft. Rex Ryan wants corners he can count on because he wants double-teams happening inside on the higher-percentage throws in between the numbers. The corners will try to lock you down and jam you at the line of scrimmage.

Mike: Ryan made the point this week that the key against the Patriots is to mix things up and not tip off intentions before the snap. As Jets coach, Ryan is 3-6 against the Patriots and one of the common threads in the victories is how the defense disrupted Brady's rhythm in different ways.

Tedy: Rex is going to want to play man coverage, which is probably the best thing to do against the Patriots because Brady can just tear apart zone. Rex does a good job changing things up, playing some zone and some man pressure; he's had times where he's rushed three and played a max-coverage concept. You also see what looks like pressure but is really more of a late "hug" concept where if the offense keeps a back in for protection, the linebacker whose responsibility it is to cover the back will then blitz. So this is another game where the young receivers are going to have to figure things out post-snap, identifying where the potential double-teams are coming from. The Patriots can use bunch formations and stack receiver sets to help them. As many looks as this defense gives you, there can still be blown coverages with receivers running open down the field, like Bucs WR Vincent Jackson's 37-yard catch-and-run late in the fourth quarter of the opener that helped set up a field goal. As multiple as they want to be, sometimes they fool themselves.

Mike: Another thing to mention is that they're tough to run on. I thought they did a good job on Buccaneers running back Doug Martin in the opener (65 yards, 24 carries, 1 fumble) and it starts with a big, powerful front. You don't see too many third-and-35 situations in games, but the Jets' defense was a factor (along with some boneheaded Tampa play) in creating one on the first drive.

Tedy: You hope for more production for your running game, especially with Amendola out. It's time to forgive and forget with Stevan Ridley. I know he was benched last week for fumbling, but it's slim pickings on offense and it's not time to send a message now. All hands are needed on deck. This Jets defense does have talent. I like their defensive line. Muhammad Wilkerson is starting to come on a little bit and then they have Sheldon Richardson, the first-round pick this year out of Missouri. They'll be looking for those two to get pressure on Brady up the middle. Wilkerson had a sack of Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman and Richardon had a half-sack.

Mike: They mixed their fronts last week, playing some 3-4 and 4-3, which the Patriots will have to be prepared for. David Harris remains a physical presence at middle linebacker, while the safeties (Dawan Landry, Antonio Allen) looked like they might be able to be exploited. Landry had a big missed tackle on Jackson on that 37-yard catch you mentioned.

Tedy: That's where the loss of Rob Gronkowski shows up, because if you think a team is weak at that position, he can really attack that. But it looks like the Jets won't have to worry about that, which gives them more flexibility.

Mike: Tedy, if what we saw in the opener carries over, there could be an opportunity for Julian Edelman to break a big one on a punt return. Tampa's Eric Page had one nice punt return (28 yards). But overall, I think the Jets' special teams play well off of their defense -- you see them pinning punts in close and setting the defense up to attack and create havoc. Like you said, it's sort of what you'd expect from a Rex Ryan-coached team, even though there has been a big change at the top with John Idzik taking over as general manager.

Tedy: It's the Idzik era, but as long as Ryan is the head coach he's the one leading the room in front of the players every day, and he's the one in front of the press. So I still see a big presence in Ryan, right down to the team's top draft picks -- cornerback Milliner and defensive lineman Richardson. A defensive coach like Ryan has to love that, so I have to be honest, I'm not really seeing any "Idzik Effect." You put the film on, watch the game, and it looks like a Rex Ryan type of team. The biggest different to me is Mornhinweg as offensive coordinator and the way he did a nice job of making Smith feel comfortable with the plays he called.

Mike: Before we get to our predictions, I'd be remiss if we didn't point out that the Patriots will be honoring you at halftime of the game. You were inducted into the team's Hall of Fame on July 29 and that honor will be recognized Thursday night. How much do you look forward to that?

Tedy: It's a tremendous honor for me and my family. I will be there with my wife and three sons. It will be a special night for us.

Mike: Great stuff, Tedy. Hope it's a great night for you and the family. I think the Patriots improve to 2-0 with a win. It should still be an offensive struggle, especially considering Amendola likely won't be playing and Vereen is already out. But I think the margin for error is significant because the Patriots are at home and playing against a team that struggles to score points. Patriots 27, Jets 13.

Tedy: There is no time for Ridley to sit and think about the mistakes he's made. This team preaches moving on. It's time to accelerate that process and get him back in the game. Ridley and LeGarrette Blount have a big day. Patriots 30, Jets 24.

2020-21 UEFA Champions League, Group Stage
  • Merih Demiral (85')
  • Ousmane Dembélé (14')
  • Lionel Messi (90'+1' PEN)

Barcelona down Juventus with goals from Messi, Dembele

Barcelona made it two wins from two in the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Juventus in Turin on Wednesday night.

Juventus were without Cristiano Ronaldo, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 13, meaning a matchup pitting the Portuguese against Lionel Messi for the first time since 2018 would have to wait until at least the second group encounter.

- Stream ESPN FC Daily on ESPN+ (U.S. only)
- Ratings: Pedri gets 8/10, Messi scores in Barca win

Barca problem child Ousmane Dembele got the start alongside Messi and he rewarded Ronald Koeman's faith early on with a goal from outside the penalty area to give the visitors the lead.

Juventus looked dangerous at the other end of the pitch as well and had the ball in the back of the net through Alvaro Morata right before 30 minutes, but the flag had gone up for offside and the goal was disallowed.

The teams returned from the half-time break with Barca still up 1-0 and Koeman making one change, substituting Ronald Araujo for Sergio Busquets due to an apparent injury.

Morata once again looked to have put Juventus back on level terms with a close-range strike, but once again the Spaniard was adjudged to have been offside after the match official consulted with VAR as Barca clung to their lead.

Barcelona continued to look dangerous in the attack, with Messi flashing a shot wide of the left post from the top of the area just after the hour mark and Pedri seeing his close-range attempt blocked minutes later.

Koeman made another change in the 66th minute, bringing on youngster Ansu Fati for Dembele with the Frenchman still working his way back to full match fitness.

The hosts' hopes of getting back in the game took a big hit in the 84th minute when Merih Demiral was sent off after receiving a second yellow card to leave Juve with only 10 players to the match.

Messi then put the game away from the penalty spot after Fati was hauled down in the box to reach the final scoreline.

Barca were rocked on Tuesday when club president Josep Maria Bartomeu resigned to avoid facing a vote of no confidence after some 20,000 fans signed a petition demanding that he step down.

"The best answer was today's game. We want to win titles and matches as we showed today," said Sergi Roberto. "It's all in the past, we're concentrating on our job."

Koeman agreed that his team had tried to put the boardroom issue out of their minds.

"I think we have to concentrate on the sporting side," he said. "It doesn't affect us and it doesn't worry me. We put our energy into football."

Meanwhile, Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said the defeat will be used as a lesson and will help his side grow.

"It was a difficult game against a team that knows how to play and are further down the path than we are. We are a team under construction, with players who were playing only their second Champions League match," the first-year manager said.

Captain Leonardo Bonucci admitted that results so far were disappointing.

"It's time to grit our teeth, to bring out the best in ourselves. These results are not up to our standards. Tonight, we knew it would be difficult. We made too many mistakes and Barcelona don't forgive," he said.

"We could have done something more... but obviously, there is a lack of experience at European level in the players who have arrived."

‘Spoke to Him Yesterday’ – Lewis Hamilton’s Father Hints at New Mercedes F1 Deal Done

January 12, 2021 11:24 am

A lot of rumors have been revolving around the seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, ever since Mercedes decided to extend the deadline of their contract announcement. Some opined that Lewis would move to a different team, while some went a bit ahead and had their bets on his retirement altogether.

However, it looks like the Briton will not be walking away from F1 anytime soon. His father, Anthony Hamilton, revealed that Lewis confirmed in a phone call that he will continue enjoying his racing career.

According to Express, Anthony spoke about his son’s future in racing amid all the claims going on at the moment. “As far as I’m aware, he carries on racing,” he said.

He loves racing, he loves what he does. He has a voice now in the sport, which is also fantastic. But as far as I’m aware, he’s carrying on racing.

It’s a definite, as far as I know. The last time I spoke to him yesterday, he’s definitely carrying on racing.”

Thus, reconsidering Anthony’s words, Lewis will most likely stick with Mercedes for maybe another couple of years. However, the bigger question of retirement will potentially rise beyond that point.

Lewis Hamilton is not racing for trophies: Anthony

The proud father of the seven-time world champion mentioned that Lewis is not racing for “targets.” Instead, he is racing for the love he holds for the sport.

It’s nothing to do with targets,” Anthony said. “He’s not racing for trophies. He races because he loves what he does and also he loves to inspire others.

At the moment his achievements, we hope, are inspiring young kids who have a dream they want to achieve.”

Despite Lewis’ disinterest in breaking records, he is definitely on the verge of re-writing history. If he signs that crucial contract with Mercedes for 2021, he will yet again remain the favorite for lifting the world championship trophy.

So, can he lift that eighth title in reality to carry himself onto the top of the record books? Well, it all hinges on the result of ongoing contract talks.

how does etias check my information

How Does ETIAS Check My Information?

Travelers can visit Europe with an ETIAS visa waiver that can be applied for online. It is available to those who wish to visit a Schengen member country and requires applicants to complete and submit an application form online prior to traveling to Europe.

Those traveling to Europe for business, transit or tourism purposes as of 2022 will be expected to have applied for an received an approved ETIAS travel authorization prior to departure. Failure to obtain an approved ETIAS could result in entry refusal from the Schengen member country or legal consequences should travelers intend to travel in Europe without an ETIAS.

Read about the type of information that must be completed when filling out an ETIAS application form and how ETIAS checks application information and completes security checks.

ETIAS Application Form Information

Applicants are expected to completed essential information such as personal details, passport details, and travel details. The application form will also consist of health and security questions.

ETIAS Security Check

Applying for an ETIAS with an ETIAS application form will be simple. The application form can be completed and submitted online. The applicant’s email will be used as the primary contact for the application and all updates, notifications and the ETIAS approval itself will be sent to the applicant at the email address that they provide in the application form.

All data will be cross-checked and applications will be run through specialized security checks using security databases such as SIS, EUROPOL DATA, Interpol and VIS. Application screening processes are subject to the ETIAS screening rules and system. All applications will be passed through the ETIAS screening system.

This new ETIAS travel authorization system has been created in order to strengthen EU security and improve internal security. ETIAS is expected to contribute to general security and a more efficient management of migration and border security.

As of 2022, it will be compulsory to apply for an ETIAS in the case of traveling to a Schengen member country in Europe. Those who fail to apply for an ETIAS prior to departure could face serious legal consequences and are likely to be denied entry to the respective Schengen member country. The ETIAS travel authorization will not be used solely for tourism purposes, as those traveling for business purposes will also be expected to have an approved ETIAS travel authorization.

Public Release:

Location-based ads need more than closeness to overcome creepiness

Penn State

Location-based advertisements may pinpoint customers geographically, but often miss the target because customers may find the ads creepy and intrusive, according to an international team of researchers. To overcome this negativity, the researchers suggest advertisers invite their customers to help tailor ads they might receive.

While being physically close to a product or shop improved attitudes about local advertisements on their mobile devices, customers felt significantly better about both the advertisement and location-based advertising when they had a hand in selecting the ads, said S. Shyam Sundar, Distinguished Professor of Communications and co-director of the Media Effects Research Laboratory.

"What we found is when you ask the user to choose categories of ads they want to see and the ads are timely and relevant, the ads are more successful," said Sundar, who worked with Sangmee Lee, doctoral student, and Ki Joon Kim, research professor, both from the department of interaction science at Sungkyunkwan University, Korea.

Products that interested the customer -- high-involvement products -- also improved customer attitudes on location-based advertising. Lee pointed out that user buy-in may not be necessary when the ad features a high-involvement product.

"If the advertiser knows that the user is interested in a product or service, then there is no need to offer tailoring options in order to gain user acceptance of location-based ads," she added.

The researchers, who released their findings in the current issue of Computers in Human Behavior, found that receiving this buy-in from potential customers helps alleviate the user's perception that the ad was intrusive.

"The perceived intrusiveness of the ad being displayed is the one thing that gives customers pause," said Sundar. "But, if the ad is customized by them and features a high-involvement product, it is seen as less intrusive."

Sundar said the research may help unlock the potential of local advertising on mobile devices. Advertisers previously hoped that location-based technology would help them reach customers as they were making buying decisions. However, the feeling of being tracked has hampered the full adoption of the technology, he added.

"Advertisers are still hoping to make location-based advertising work," said Sundar. "On one hand, people use it routinely because it's convenient, but it also conjures up images and feelings that they are being tracked."

Sundar said that the results reinforce the theory that offering people choice increases their engagement with technology.

"The study reflects the agency model of customization -- that it gives a person a sense of self and can lead to greater involvement in media content," Sundar said. "People who have tailored their interests are more likely to process and engage with information and appreciate those offers."

Kim said these findings offer insights not only for advertising, but for various forms of mobile communications that use location-relevant information, such as map applications, search engines and recommendation services.

"Our findings can help understand how users share, process and evaluate information on the mobile platform," he added.

The researchers recruited 115 university students in Seoul, Korea to take a simulated tour of a city street near the university using a 3-D streetscape display. A simulated smartphone screen was displayed next to the view of the streetscape.

Participants filled out a survey of demographic information and were randomly divided into different groups to test how location, customization, and product involvement influenced their decisions.

As the participants navigated through the street, the researchers sent messages to the participants' online smart phone displays, advertising businesses that were close or far away and products that they may or may not have been interested in based on details from an initial questionnaire. Members assigned to the customization group were able to select preferred product categories after they filled out the questionnaire.

After the session, the participants filled out a questionnaire on their perceptions of and attitudes toward the ad and location-based advertising.

The National Research Foundation of Korea supported this work.

  1. Hello all, and I hope it's okay to post this here. I am contributing my 1st review to Eurobricks, but I'm not new to review writing as I used to write set reviews for under the name "VeyronianHyperLady" and became a top 10 contributor over there. This review will be about the following set: 70146 Flying Phoenix Fire Temple, the flagship set from Chima's Fire vs. Ice wave of sets (Brickset entry | BrickLink entry). It retails for £89.99 (UK) or $119.99 (US), but does it deliver any bang for your buck? Read on and make up your own mind If you just want to look at the pictures, here's the Brickshelf gallery (it's a bit disorganised, but they're all there!) Firstly, the box. It sports the fiery banner at the top, like with the rest of the Ice/Fire Chima sets and features the beautiful artwork of the Phoenix Temple in it’s “Fire CHI Power Mode” as a phoenix flyer, while a sabertooth vehicle attacks the walls of the temple. I don’t understand why the vehicle can’t go through the obvious gap left by the temple and attack it from the inside . My box unfortunately came with a price sticker and was a bit water damaged from being left out in the rain by a courier , but it seems okay now. The back of the box shows all the functions of the set. Note that the Sabertooth vehicle can actually detach into two vehicles. The Minifigures are an immediate selling point to the set. Seven excellently detailed minifigures accompany the set, with six of them (counting Fluminox’s unique royal gown variant and Voom Voom’s trans-light blue heavy armour variant) being exclusive to this set, and the other being found in 2 other sets (at the time of writing). The set includes the Phoenixes Fluminox, Foltrax and Flinx, the tiger Tormak, the lioness Li’Ella, the Sabertooth Stealthor and the Vulture Voom Voom. Fluminox: Undoubtedly the star of the minifig selection, Fluminox, presumbaly king of the Phoenix tribe, appears here in his royal robes, using a printed slope instead of a pair of minifig legs (much like Ewald in this respect). The figure is printed with a beautifully intricate robe over feathers pattern, with golden fire motifs, a pendant, chains, dog-tags and a belt. Only the pendant is obscured by the armour Fluminox wears, which is a new mould cast with a little fire emblem by the front stud and some feathering detail on the shoulders. There are two studs at the back where the wings (new in orange) attach. The head itself is printed with a very similar pattern to the Eagle’s head pattern, with a stern face and a surprised face. The golden fire motifs continue onto the new phoenix helmet mould. All this combines to make a beautiful minifigure which will be absolutely essential for any Chima collection. Fluminox holds a Wingfurno, which a nice but rather uninteresting to look at weapon, but it does the job nicely. Flinx: Possibly the first Chima minifigure to have the short legs (corrected, it's the second, G'Loona was the first), Flinx is a small minifigure but still has plenty of detail, with a similar robes over feathers pattern, which the shoulder armour partly covers. Again his head is double sided, with a happy expression and a stern expression, with both sides conveying a rather youthful appearance. He uses the same headgear mould as Fluminox but with different printing. The youthful face, use of the small triple flames and the short legs suggest that he’s the baby of the Phoenix tribe, but this packs him with a lot of character. His weapon uses a new flame piece, like a lightsaber piece but with flame extensions down the middle and is marbled with trans-red and trans-yellow. Foltrax: Probably the least interesting of the Phoenixes, but still a nice and exclusive minifigure. Foltrax’s mix of red, dark red, orange, gold and dark bluish gray might not agree with everyone though, as Foltrax does look messy with all these colours. Unlike Flinx and Fluminox, Foltrax has an armour, fasteners and abs pattern, which is a very nice pattern sadly obscured by his heavy armour, however the armour is necessary for the wings to clip on. Foltrax’s head is quite similar to Fluminox’s, and could be easily mixed up, but luckily Foltrax and Fluminox come in different bags so, unless you mix all the bags up, putting the wrong head on the Phoenixes is very unlikely. His weapon is relatively standard fare, a Ninjago blade piece on a 4L bar, but does it’s job. Tormak: The first Tiger minifigure in Chima, whose headgear mould is the same as that of Li’Ella and 70141’s Lundor, which makes sense given that they are all based off the big cats. Tormak has some beautiful dark red/gold fire motif armour patterning, fur and muscle patterning on the torso, but this is covered by the heavy armour. Tormak’s head is double-sided, with a scowling face and an angry face, and his head is also printed with lots of tiger stripe patterning which, sadly, isn’t repeated to the same level of detail on the headpiece. The headpiece is strangely devoid of tiger stripe markings for the most part. I would say that Tormak suffers from lack of arm printing as well, he just doesn’t have as many stripes on him as a tiger should have. His weapon, a fire longbow of sorts, is perhaps one of the most elaborate weapons ever seen in an LEGO set, and looks very over the top, since it’s actually taller than Tormak itself. You have to tilt Tormak’s legs right back before he can even stand holding the weapon. The other problem with the headpiece is that, unlike many of the other Chima animal headpieces, it has a raised back. This wouldn’t be a problem if only Tormak’s head wasn’t double sided, since you can see the print of the reverse side show through, which is a shame. You can see how visible it is in this picture: Li’Ella: Finally, the Lion Tribe gets a female member added to the minifigure roster. Li’Ella has a dark red cloth print on her legs with the recurring gold flame motifs, and has some feminine upper armour printed on her torso, but again, this is covered by her shoulder armour. Again, she has a double sided head, one side with a smirk, one with a smile. The smirk is the face represented on her headpiece. If you look closely, her mouth is surrounded by lipstick. Not sure if this printing is necessary since she already sticks out as a female Lion amongst all the male Lions we already have, and, well, lipstick looks a bit strange on a lion I guess! Her weapon is pretty much recycled from the Eagle Tribe but with trans-orange round tiles on it instead. Stealthor: The only figure that isn’t a variant unique to this set, but still a nice figure nonetheless. This figure has some very intricate patterning depicting their partially decaying bodies. I suppose these ice zombies could have been in worse condition if they hadn’t been preserved in ice for 10,000 years (I don’t think calling them zombies is completely appropriate though, Stealthor looks much more intelligent and quick-witted than traditional zombies, but I suppose they’re already undead ). He sports some shoulder armour in trans-light blue, which I really like since you can still enjoy the printing in all it’s half decayed glory, which makes me wish the good guys had trans-orange armour (but maybe that was a Health and Safety nightmare for everyone? ). The patterning continues with the head, which is actually double sided unlike the Vultures. Stealthor’s two faces are both similar, one with narrow eyes, one with wider eyes. The head sculpt is different to that used on the Tiger and Lioness. The ice hand is Dark Azure in colour. Stealthor has an interesting weapon which uses two of the new claw pieces. Voom Voom: The other bad guy in the set. Once again, he has intricate printing depicting him wearing a tatty loincloth decoreated with bones, and showing the half-decaying body. He wears the heavy armour, which is trans-light blue so you can still see the printing. His head is just one-sided, with a cunning expression on his decaying face. I know vultures are scavengers, but it looks like Voom Voom scavenged himself at one point. The wings are new in Light Bluish Gray and he also has an ice leg. I do wish LEGO could have varied which leg is iced over on which figure though. Voom Voom wields a pair of ice axes. My only problem is why did they choose vultures if they were doing extinct prehistoric creatures thawed from the ice? Sabertooths and mammoths made sense, but vultures just didn’t as they’re still around? I guess I’m just being nitpicky because I studied ancient life as part of a degree at university New parts and recolours: There are a few new parts and recolours, including new parts 15092, 16770, 15107 and 16768, 13547, 43723, 43722 and 43719 in Dark Orange, 11091 in Dark Red, 11127 in Trans-Orange and Bionicle Zamor Spheres in both new marbled patterns (representing Fire and Ice), as well as a new 1x1 round tile print. Brickset’s inventory obtained from contains a full list of parts used in the set. Instructions: They are clear and well differentiated, though reddish brown and dark brown do look similar, but shouldn’t be a problem. Here's a random instruction image: The Build: The build itself is an entertaining 2 ½ or so hours without too much repetition, but do be aware that the build is seemingly more Technic than System, which if you didn’t know about it’s function, you’d think that it was a strange choice to build a temple out of Technic. If you don’t like stickers, be aware that this set contains over 20 of them to apply, and some of them aren’t easy to get straight. There was one tiny sticker that was especially bad, but more on that later. Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures of the build after each bag since I decided to review it after I built it all, so you’ll have to make do with my descriptions. Bag 1 builds Stealthor and Voom Voom, as well as the base of the sabertooth vehicle. You start the vehicle’s clawing mechanism here, but you don’t finish it until Bag 2. Bag 2 builds the claws for the clawing mechanism and assembles the detachable air vehicle. You then move onto Booklet 2 and bag 3, where you assemble Tormak, Li’Ella and Foltrax, as well as build the temple gates. Bag 4 extends on the temple gates, adding the two rather thin walls, and also assembles the “pool of fireballs”. Bag 5 builds Flinx and Fluminox and starts construction of the base of the center of the Phoenix Temple, including building the bomb dropping function. Onto Booklet 3, and bag 6 adds the Phoenix claws that also act as flaming torches, and finishes off the bomb dropping function. Bag 7 finishes off the centre of the phoenix and you can then see the mechanism that allows it to transform into a phoenix flyer. Bag 8 builds the walls of the temple/wings of the phoenix flyer. Bag 9 finishes the build off by adding the engines and shooter turrets to the ends of the walls built in Bag 8. The finished model: Here is the finished Saber-Tooth vehicle: Side-on view. Not it's best angle I don't think, but here you can see it's aggressive forward tilt. Back view. Front view. From this angle it really does look quite a beast of a machine. Activating the clawing function is easy, you just push a rod that sticks out of the back until it stops, then let go, then start all over again in a reciprocating motion. This is achieved by slope bricks mounted on a modified plate with axle hole, attached to the vehicle with frictionless pins, as well as a rubber band. The motion works very smoothly for the most part. Here you can see the detached air vehicle and what the base looks like without the top. The wings are built with hinges and can fold in and out, but I think I prefer the two attached. Note that these actually sit loosely on top of one another, so don't go rolling the vehicle over your ceiling Stealthor sits in his new toy. It's quite a snug fit. Note the canopy is double hinged. Now onto the temple: The complete temple is quite sizeable and works quite well as a temple, though the lack of entrance into the phoenix itself may be a bit puzzling. The bley stickered part in the centre is where you can load the zamor spheres for a function you can use in phoenix mode. Plan view: Here's the walls with the phoenix part detached. Note the trans-red circles - the phoenix slots into them when docked. The phoenix actually sits completely loose, so be careful when moving the temple as a unit. The wall section is also the most fragile part of the build, which doesn't help with transporting it. The Phoenix in Temple Mode, detached from the wall section, front view: Back view of the Temple Mode. The back central section is sparse and full of Technic, but with good reason. You can pick the temple up by the back and push the section where my thumb is to begin the transformation from temple to phoenix: The temple in Phoenix mode ("Fire CHI mode", but Phoenix mode is easier to say I think ), a front view: A plan view of the Phoenix in Phoenix mode: The Temple gains another entertaining function in Phoenix Mode. Push the pin where my thumb is in the picture and make the Phoenix drop Zamor spheres as bombs. Bottom of the Temple in Phoenix Mode. Not much to see here I suppose, but you can see the hole where the Zamors drop out when you push the pin in the previous picture. Here you can see the shooter turrets are not very moveable, but they are counterweighted. If there are no minifigs in them, they droop like in the picture, but they level out when a minifig is placed in command. A bit of a close up of the Phoenix, back in Temple mode. The sticker on the black tile is nigh-on impossible to position correctly Fluminox can stand in the head of the Phoenix quite well, though how on Earth is he supposed to pilot it if he's sitting so far away from the controls? As said earlier, the shooter turrets level out when a minifig is placed in them: This is the so-called "Pool of Fireballs", although simple, it looks very nice and compliments the Temple quite nicely when you position it in the middle. And finally, here's a shot of the whole set contents: So, in summary, this is a set that's worthy of being a flagship model in every way. It is a decent and interesting build if you don't mind building with a bit of Technic (I understand why this got a 9-14 age rating after I built it ), it really is excellent value for money, in the UK this is a whole £10 cheaper than the similarly sized 70010 The Lion CHI Temple, the Chima flagship set from last year, and boasts 1,301 parts compared to last year's Chima flagship set which only contained 1,258 parts, so on a price per piece basis, the Flying Phoenix Fire Temple is excellent value for money, especially if picked up on sale. I love all the interesting new recolours in the set, especially those marbled Zamor Spheres, and, best of all, surely it's the world's first swooshable temple? Young kids will need good strength to swoosh it, the phoenix part weighs about 650 grams, but no problem for AFOL's. It's best swooshed with one hand on the back, thumb by the bomb dropping mechanism. Now for the ratings: Set design/aesthetics: 9/10 - This set is very well designed, especially the phoenix. It's clever in construction and looks good whatever mode it's in. Points are only lost on how the saber-tooth's vehicle looks in two vehicle mode. Parts: 8/10 - Plenty of new and especially recoloured parts to keep new part aficionados like me happy, but for it to be a viable parts pack you'll have to deal with significant amounts of both System and Technic, which may put some people off. Minifigs: 9/10 - They're excellent as always, though I think Tormak's lack of stripes and the fact you can see his reverse head print at the back with his mask on is a little disappointing. Playability: 10/10 - it's fun to transform the temple into a phoenix and drop a few bombs on unsuspecting ice zombies. The addition of a substantial bad guy vehicle is also great. Value for money: 10/10 - A pleasing PPP ratio to me in the UK, and there is much fun to be had with this set. Worth every penny I paid for the set. Overall: 46/50 - an excellent set, definitely recommended if you have enough LEGO budget remaining, and even better if you find it on sale Thankyou very much for reading my review! Thoughts on the set are welcome since I can't add a poll quite yet EDIT: Changed picture location from Flickr to Brickshelf.

Expatriate Healthcare News: Obesity is dangerous in pregnancy

Expat insurance customers who are expecting need to realise that obesity is one of the most dangerous conditions to have in pregnancy.

This is the advice from baby health charity Tommy's, whose campaigns manager, Jacqui Clinton, noted that a high body mass index can lead to complications in pregnant women.

These include a higher risk of miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth, she pointed out.

"Babies born to obese mothers are also more likely to have a high birth-weight and future health problems associated with obesity, including cardiovascular problems and diabetes," she explained.

It is best if prospective mothers are at a healthy weight by the time they conceive, "but, as obesity poses one of the biggest threats to maternal and foetal health in the UK today, promoting healthy weight management in pregnancy through eating well and keeping active is vital if we are to succeed in helping more babies to be born healthy".

Ms Clinton's remarks come in light of research suggesting that one in 20 pregnant women in the UK are severely obese.

It keeps getting better in Ohio Amish Country! - Ohio Amish Country Experiences Volume #4 Issue #5

Ohio Amish Country Experiences

A publication of
and Ohio Amish Country Marketing

Volume 04
Issue 5

May 2012

Dear Ohio Amish Country Enthusiast,

We may have been a little overly optimistic about the weather here in Northeast Ohio - it has almost been cooler this April than it was in March - yet again, March was extremely unusual!

We have probably been about average for April. But, the cooler temps have helped slow things down. And this is not a bad thing for spring - it has actually made spring last longer than usual!

So, what can we say, spring is a beautiful time of year that goes by almost too quickly to enjoy. And this year we've actually been able to enjoy it longer than we normally can!

spring-buggies Amish and English alike have been busy getting fields ready and crops in early. We've had some frosts but hopefully not too much was damaged from them.

Our rainfall has been low this spring - hoping we are not going to be looking at an unusually hot & dry summer. Some are predicting a drought. Guess we'll just have to wait & see.

Meantime, everything seems to be full speed ahead for another busy and exciting "tourist season" in Ohio Amish Country. So, don't wait & see too long, you'll be missing lots of great opportunities!

It's best to make your plans now! There's still time to get out and experience spring in Ohio Amish Country. And, as always - if you need a little help navigating around Ohio Amish Country, we strongly advise that you get an Ohio Amish Country map.

Also, be sure to follow Experience Ohio Amish Country on Facebook for more exciting tips & info.

In this issue we'll be highlighting:

Feature of the Month - R.W. Leather

Tip of the Month - Amish Benefit Auctions

Featured Recipe of the Month - Chicken-N-Stuff

R.W. Leather
RW Leather
For as many years and as many times as we've been going to Amish Country, we just never have enough time to get around to everything we want to see.

We've driven past some signs and some places many times and have wanted to and even intended to stop - but just haven't quite succeeded.

Alas, we finally get to check one more "intend to stop" off our list, and put it in the "experienced" column. Instead of driving past one more time, we turned down the drive and decided to check it out.

Down a long driveway off CR 114 heading south of Walnut Creek, Ohio is a typically simple, yet clean and neat building that houses R.W. Leather.

As usual, we were on a quest - this time for leather waist belts. Upon entering the shop, we knew we would have success - they had leather belts, leather belts and more leather belts. Not to mention just about every other kind of leather accessory!

After making our picks from the more than adequate choices, we were pleased to find that they will custom cut any belt to size and add as many notches as needed or desired.

You too can check them out at 4515 CR 114, Sugarcreek, OH 44681. Their hours are Mon. - Sat. 9-5. You can leave a voice message to reorder at 330-852-3801.

To be fair, we have also driven past some Amish leather shops in the Geauga County area that are surely just as great - and we intend to stop some time. When we do, maybe we'll feature them as well.

One thing for sure, the quality of craftsmanship you will receive will far surpass and outlast any "foreign junk" you might buy elsewhere!

Amish Benefit Auctions

hidden-acres-sign One thing we've decided to put on our "experience again list" is an Amish Benefit auction. We've attended a few different ones over the years and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity.

The smells of great food waft through the air along with the iconic drone of a professional auctioneer. If you plan ahead, do some pre-sale price checking and have a good idea of what you want and are willing to pay - you just may be the one hauling away some great bargains on some quality furniture!

These sales are wonderful community social events that bring English and Amish together for good food, good deals and a great cause. It's a nice way to help and be helped.

Here's a link to our site that will tell you more about when and where you can get in on one of these fantastic experiences: Experience Amish Benefit Auctions

Increasing the Value of Philanthropy-Serving Membership Organizations
Kris Putnam-Walkerly -- Global Philanthropy Expert Kris Putnam-Walkerly -- Global Philanthropy Expert
For Immediate Release:
Dateline: Cleveland, OH
Friday, October 16, 2020

Philanthropy membership associations were made for times like these. Shining bright these past eight months, they’ve heroically grabbed their members’ hands and illuminated pathways forward. They’ve helped members navigate the pandemic and prepare for recovery, offering real-time learning, sharing best practices, creating rapid-response funds, soliciting critical information through surveys, supporting collaboration across government and business, and encouraging funding for racial justice.

But as the challenges continue, and as member organizations examine their budgets in the face of a global recession, associations have the additional worry of finding themselves on the budgetary chopping block. If 2009 is any indication, the danger is real.

Philanthropy infrastructure organizations quickly moved events and conferences online, increased the number of offerings, and broadened who can attend, often including all funders and not just members. Many also worked to shift the balance of power and make gatherings more inclusive and accessible. For their global conference, the Resource Alliance saw it as an opportunity to “challenge the idea of one magnetic north, which tends to be the global north, and instead create a magnetic field around the world where people can be drawn to excellence anywhere.”

Philanthropy associations have coordinated resources like the Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s COVID-19 Response Fund, helping donors grant nearly $15 million to 95 organizations. They’ve also tapped the collective power by creating useful and timely surveys with vital information to inform member’s next steps, like the WINGS member survey issued in April of 2020. And they’ve offered spot-on analysis and commentary of existing information like this Candid blog post aggregating information from surveys around the world.

But as the challenges continue, and as member organizations examine their budgets in the face of a global recession, associations have the additional worry of finding themselves on the budgetary chopping block. If 2009 is any indication, the danger is real. At that time, “more than two-thirds [of foundations surveyed] . . . reduced their operating expenses . . . by reducing staff travel budgets and/or limiting staff attendance at conferences,” and “one-third said they had also reduced staff training and professional development opportunities.” So, as organizations take stock and plan for the next six months, here are three ways these organizations can keep themselves essential to their members and the impact they seek for civil society.

1. Lead with an abundance mindset.

Too often, civil society operates with a scarcity mentality that keeps the sector from reaching its full potential. It’s an approach to giving that focuses on limited resources and squeezing the last drop of productivity out of people and dollars. Instead, the sector would do well to focus on abundance. An abundance mindset is a belief that investment in yourself is essential, and the more you put into your operation—and yourself—the higher the return.

Philanthropy-serving membership organizations are uniquely positioned to lead by example in this area. The whole model is based around coming together, sharing ideas, research, and knowledge. They can only do this work well by investing in their own abundant growth and development. This might include leveraging relationships, listening to people with radically different beliefs, and investing in professional development and technology. For example, what is your organization doing to change from the inside out related to diversity, equity and inclusion? Only by evolving, can you be truly relevant to your members.

2. Be agile and adaptive.

Being agile means you see and capitalize on new opportunities quickly. Being adaptive means you are consistently able to change yourself to accommodate and maximize the benefits of change. No strategies or theories of change that existed pre-crisis can remain intact post-crisis. Every organization needs to re-examine these now. Determine what stays the same, what must adapt, what to abandon, and what to change. This way, you have the most current framework to guide decision-making.

In her book The Agility Advantage, my colleague Amanda Setili explains how all kinds of organizations can become more agile by looking for innovation from any source, acting quickly on new ideas, and remaining flexible. By combining this agility with a more adaptive approach to strategic planning, you’ll position yourself to succeed today and be ready for whatever tomorrow brings. Unfortunately, those working to strengthen civil society often take close to a year or longer to create an extensive strategic plan. Rather than doing this every three to five years, take a few days each year to refresh your strategy. I explain in detail how to do this in my book, Delusional Altruism: Why Philanthropists Fail To Achieve Change and What They Can Do To Transform Giving.

3. Include voices outside your membership.

Many associations create policies that allow only their members to speak at webinars and conferences. While it is important to promote the ideas and practices of members, doing this is like solely breathing your own exhaust. Every leading organization in every field should make it a practice to seek and heed independent, outside advice to stimulate their innovation and initiatives.

Infrastructure organizations need to cross-pollinate and inject provocative ideas, fresh thinking, and different cultural frames into your resources and events. To enrich your members, you must stretch. Going beyond your membership and even beyond civil society organizations to bring experts and opportunities that your members wouldn’t otherwise have access to will add incredible value to their work. There are plenty of people working to improve civil society with new ideas. From authors to scientists to analysts, there are countless experts in the field at the ready to do the same. This is a powerful way to give your members their money’s worth many times over.

The superpower of membership associations are connecting and leveraging people, resources, and ideas. Now is the time to shine. When people feel challenged and disconnected, you inject abundance. By being agile and adaptive, you remain relevant even when circumstances change. By being inclusive, you provide a full spectrum of voices that we all need to hear and heed now. Doing all these things well will ensure member retention and —recession or not—they’ll also recommend that those in their circles join too.

r/formula1 It’s in their contracts. I believe Ferrari and McLaren and Red Bull keep all the driver trophies . Hamilton has it written into his contract that he keeps them .

Do f1 drivers get free cars?

With the amount of money they’re paid, F1 drivers –well, certainly, the successful ones–can get their hands on pretty much any road car they like, no matter how limited it may be. Some manufacturers even offer them cars for free as part of sponsorship deals. It’s definitely alright for some.

How expensive is an f1 car?

Although the cost of the main components of a Formula One car can come to over 14 million dollars, constructors try to mask the total in order to avoid penalties by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile). For example, the FIA has put a ceiling on the cost of an F1 car engine at $15 million.

The approximate average salary of a driver in Formula E is now believed to be around the €750,000 mark. The top earners are reckoned to be on between €2.2million and €2.8m. A Formula E driver in a season will do close to 2500km.

CRO card withdrawn by CSCS

CRO card withdrawn by CSCS

4 June 2017 Email this article

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) has reminded industry that the Construction Related Occupation (CRO) card has been withdrawn.

CSCS stopped issuing CRO cards on 31st March 2017. All 85,000 CRO cards issued since October 2015 will expire on 30th September 2017.

The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) announced (via the Industrial Strategy: Construction 2025) that skills certification card schemes carrying the CSCS logo must only certify those occupations with nationally recognised construction related qualifications, i.e. NVQs or approved equivalents.

The CRO card was issued without the requirement to demonstrate the applicant has achieved an appropriate qualification and as such does not meet the requirements of the CLC.

The removal of the CRO card impacts over 230,000 CRO card holders, 85,000 of which will expire at the end of September 2017. The steps that CRO card holders must follow depends on the qualifications they hold and whether their occupation is categorised as construction related.

In many cases CRO card holders will be required to register for existing or newly developed qualifications before their CRO cards expire, while in others, CRO card holders will be transferred to one of CSCS’s Partner Card Schemes that are more appropriate for their occupations. For other card holders, where their occupation is not construction related or no suitable qualification exists, a CSCS card will no longer be issued and it will be the responsibility of site supervisors and managers to ensure these workers are properly supervised and managed.

Discussing the change, CSCS Chief Executive Graham Wren said: “Together with our key industry stakeholders we have been preparing for the withdrawal of the CRO card since 2015. This development is fully in line with the industry’s desire to ensure a fully qualified workforce. A lot of work has taken place to ensure CRO card holders know which qualifications are available and to make their transition to appropriate alternative arrangements as smooth as possible.”

HSC Series Safety Edges

Our catalogue HSC Safety Edges describes the protection against risks at shearing and crushing edges by safety sensitive edges. The components shown in the safety edge catalogue have heights up to 150 mm. Further, they are generally equipped with one Haake contact chain only. In certain applications, the power-operated devices have, due to their inertia, long stopping times and thus also large stopping travels. Examples are big and heavy doors (hangar doors), automatically-guided vehicles (AGV), theatre stages etc. In these cases, the up to 150 mm high safety edges mentioned above will not be sufficient. Here so-called bumpers are used. Their dimensions as well as the positions and number of the contact chains are specially selected and manufactured for the intended application. Bumpers are protection devices for large over-travels. They are equipped with a rubber-foam cushion with suitable surface finish and reinforced if necessary. Colours may also be applied.
