College Football 2011 Week 5 betting odds can be found at Sportsbook.com here.  Below you will find a few betting previews.

Sportsbook.com Line & Total: Texas A&M -2.5 & 62

Opening Line & Total: A&M -3 & 62

Two teams that could become great rivals in the SEC will square off in the Southwest Classic at Cowboys Stadium as non-conference foes on Saturday, when No. 14 Texas A&M takes on No. 18 Arkansas.

Both teams suffered major setbacks last week as the Aggies blew a 20-3 halftime lead and lost at home to Oklahoma State, while Arkansas got pasted 38-14 in Alabama. A&M allowed OSU’s Brandon Weeden to throw for a school-record 438 yards, and will have its hands full with an excellent Arkansas receiving corps. The Razorbacks have two straight victories over the Aggies, winning easily 47-19 in 2009 and outlasting them 24-17 last year. For the Hogs to win again, they have to nullify Texas A&M’s potent pass rush that leads the nation with 4.7 sacks per game. Razorbacks QB Tyler Wilson has made good decisions all year (7 TD, 3 INT) and will allow his receivers to win this game.

Aggies QB Ryan Tannehill has 297 passing YPG and 6 TD, but threw 3 INT against the Oklahoma State. His talented WR duo of Ryan Swope and Jeff Fuller have combined for 38 catches, 474 yards and four touchdowns. A&M was supposed to have one of the best ground games in the land, but the team ranks 46th in the nation at 171 YPG. Cyrus Gray has 268 yards and four scores, but his 4.2 YPC average is way down from last year’s stellar 5.7 YPC. Christine Michael is gaining 7.1 YPC, but only has 25 carries on the year. Junior LB Sean Porter continues to lead the defense with 3.5 sacks, 5.5 TFL and 23 total tackles in two games.

Arkansas has won 12 straight non-conference games in the regular season. Wilson has played well as Ryan Mallett’s replacement, completing 67% of his passes for 252 YPG. And now he has his full receiving corps healthy with the senior trio of Joe Adams, Greg Childs and Jarius Wright, who combined for 2,260 yards and 17 TD last year. Junior Cobi Hamilton actually leads the team with 271 receiving yards, but only had one catch against Alabama (a 19-yard TD). The running game has been better than expected after the preseason injury to Knile Davis. Ronnie Wingo, Jr. was averaging 75 rushing YPG before the Tide held him to 35 yards on 11 carries last week. Despite forcing only two turnovers (both interceptions) in four games, Arkansas still ranks a respectable 35th in the country in total defense (328 YPG). Junior LB Alonzo Highsmith leads the team with 5.0 TFL and also has 22 total tackles.

Sportsbook.com & Line: South Carolina -10 & 60

Opening Line & Total: S. Carolina -11 & 59.5

Tenth-ranked South Carolina tries to run over defending national champion Auburn when the Tigers visit Columbia on Saturday. The Gamecocks haven’t beaten Auburn since 1933, a stretch of six meetings.

Auburn has surrendered 227 rushing YPG (ninth-most in FBS), while Gamecocks RB Marcus Lattimore is third in the nation with 153 rushing YPG. Auburn scored 91 points in two wins over South Carolina last year, including 56 in the SEC Championship game. But this year is a different story, as the Tigers rank 78th in total offense (374 YPG). Last week, they only scored two offensive touchdowns versus a weak Florida Atlantic defense. Gamecocks embattled QB Stephen Garcia threw 4 INT last week, but will still start on Saturday. Garcia threw for 405 yards and 5 TD in the pair of losses to Auburn last year, and the staff reportedly has all the confidence in the world in his ability to keep his team unbeaten. The Gamecocks are 16-2 SU in their past 18 home games, and they should have no trouble winning by double-digits on Saturday.

Auburn has beaten South Carolina six straight times (4-2 ATS), but the Tigers were favored in all six of those wins. Since 2008, Auburn is 2-6 ATS as a road underdog. QB Barrett Trotter has had some huge shoes to fill as Cam Newton’s replacement, but Trotter has been pretty consistent, completing between 12 and 17 passes every game in 23 to 28 attempts. His completion rate is 62% and he has 783 yards, 8 TD and 3 INT. RB Michael Dyer ran for 301 yards (8.9 YPC) and four touchdowns in consecutive games against Mississippi State and Clemson, but he was held to 68 yards (4.9 YPC) and no scores against FAU. Dyer had 164 yards on 37 carries (4.4 YPG) in the pair of wins over the ‘Cocks last year. In addition to the porous run defense, the Tigers rank 90th against the pass (251 YPG) and 110th in total defense (478 YPG). Part of this is because they only have three total sacks in four games.

Garcia is getting most of the heat for the South Carolina’s sagging offense, and rightfully so with 3 TD and 7 INT (tied for most in nation). But WR Alshon Jeffery, who caught 88 passes for 1,517 yards and 9 TD last year, only has four catches for 69 yards in the past two games against Navy and Vanderbilt. However, this Auburn defense was unable to stop him last year, as Jeffery caught 12 passes for 228 yards and three scores in the two meetings. Freshman WR Damiere Byrd, who will make his collegiate debut Sunday after serving an NCAA suspension, gives Garcia another weapon. With all the stars on the Gamecocks offense, the defense is sometimes overlooked. However, South Carolina ranks 13th in passing defense (161 YPG) and 23rd in total defense (298 YPG) this year. DE Melvin Ingram already has three return touchdowns and freshman DL Jadeveon Clowney has been as good as advertised with four sacks, three forced fumbles and 16 tackles in his first four collegiate games.

Sportsbook.com Line & Total: Virginia Tech -7 & 51

Opening Line & Total: VT -7 & 49.5

Tajh Boyd and the No. 13 Clemson offense looks to stay red-hot when it takes on No. 11 Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.

Boyd has 730 passing yards and 7 TD in the past two games, leading his team to 73 combined points against Auburn and Florida State. The Hokies haven’t played a good team yet, but rank among the nation’s top-six teams in rush defense (43 YPG, 2nd), total defense (231 YPG, 4th) and scoring defense (10.0 PPG, 6th). Since 1998, Virginia Tech is 5-0 (SU and ATS) versus Clemson, outscoring the Tigers 174 to 61. Clemson is 3-7 SU in its past 10 road games, and the Hokies rarely lose at home, going 47-7 SU (87%) since 2003. They are also 9-5 ATS as a home favorite in the past three seasons.

Clemson has gained nearly 1,100 yards in its two big wins over Auburn and FSU. Freshman WR Sammy Watkins has been Boyd’s favorite target during these two contests with 14 receptions for 296 yards and 4 TD. Boyd has been money on third downs, as his team converted 23-of-35 (66%) of their third downs in the past two games and 53% (35-of-66) for the season. The defense has been a work in progress, allowing 406 yards per game (90th in nation) and 25.0 PPG (66th among FBS schools). The biggest reason for the deficiency starts with the defensive line, as Clemson has just four total sacks and has the third-fewest Tackles For Loss (3.0 per game) in the entire country.

The Hokies D-Line is the exact opposite, as DEs J.R. Collins and James Gayle combined for 12 tackles and four sacks in Saturday’s 30-10 win at Marshall. The team already has 14 sacks and 32 TFL (tied for 10th in nation), which has led to the gaudy defensive rankings. RB David Wilson is the key to the offense, as his 129 rushing YPG ranks seventh in the nation. QB Logan Thomas had a rough first two games (17-of-39, 240 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT), but has been better in his past two contests, completing 65% of his passes for 521 yards and two scores. However, he has thrown four interceptions in his past three games. Senior WR Danny Coale is adjusting to his new QB nicely, with 14 catches for 235 yards in the past two games.

Sportsbook.com Line: Alabama -4 & 44.5

Opening Line & Total: ‘Bama -4 & 45

Two of the top dozen teams in the nation clash in a key SEC battle when No. 3 Alabama travels to No. 12 Florida on Saturday night.

Alabama won last year’s meeting 31-6, but was outgained by a Florida squad that committed four turnovers. The Tide rank second in the nation in both scoring defense (8.0 PPG) and total defense (184 YPG), but the Gators are fifth in the nation in yards allowed (232 YPG). The new-look offense under OC Charlie Weis is scoring more than 40 points per game and the Gators actually have more rushing yards (259 YPG) than the Tide (231 YPG) this season. Florida coach Will Muschamp was an assistant under Alabama’s Nick Saban at LSU and with the Miami Dolphins, so he shouldn’t be surprised by what he sees. Although Alabama is 12-2 SU (10-4 ATS) in away games since 2008, this Gators offense could prove too much to handle for the Tide.

Alabama looked great in last week’s 38-14 pounding of Arkansas. QB A.J. McCarron went 15-of-20 for 200 yards, 2 TD and 0 INT. Trent Richardson rushed for 126 yards (7.4 YPC) and added 85 receiving yards, including a 61-yard TD reception.

Richardson is now averaging 141 total YPG, 6.6 yards per carry and has scored nine times. In two career games against Florida, he has carried the ball 21 times for 143 yards (6.8 YPC). Sophomore Eddie Lacy is also running all over opponents this year with 365 rushing yards, 4 TD and a whopping 8.9 yards per carry. The defense was even more impressive last week, limiting a quality Arkansas offense to 226 total yards, including 17 rushing yards on 19 carries. The Razorbacks entered the game averaging 517 yards of offense. The Tide could be short-handed as LB C.J. Mosley suffered an elbow injury last week and will be a game-time decision. Mosley returned an interception for a touchdown against Florida last year.

The Gators ground game has been unreal. They ran for 405 yards against Kentucky, as Jeff Demps gained 157 yards on just 10 carries and Chris Rainey added 105 on 7.0 YPC. Demps now has 320 rushing yards on 9.4 YPC for the season. Rainey leads the team with 411 rushing yards and also leads the Gators in all receiving categories -- 11 catches for 214 yards and two scores. QB John Brantley has played well in the past two weeks, both versus SEC opponents. He is 22-for-37 for 328 yards, 3 TD and 0 INT in wins over Tennessee and Kentucky. Brantley will need to show a big improvement from his performance in last year’s loss to Alabama, when he completed just 16-of-31 passes for 202 yards, no touchdowns and two picks.

Halo 5 has a 9GB day one patch, Assassin's Creed Syndicate's is 534MB

Ooooh boy patch fans, has your ship come in. With Halo 5 and Assassin's Creed Syndicate both imminent, release info, like updates, is starting to arrive.

First there's this from Halo 5 studio head, Josh Holmes:

We already knew Halo 5 was adding some new multiplayer content post-launch so that would suggest the 'map content' he mentions is new stuff being added as 343 adjust to fan feedback and change up the release content.

In terms of Assassin's Creed Syndicate review copies are going out, so people are playing it for that reason. The patch there is almost non-existent, coming in at 534MB on PS4 and about 520MB on Xbox 1. That's actually quite significant as it suggests the game is solid, stable and not needing massive amounts of fixing like Unity did at launch.

Which is a shame in a way because that hair was fabulous.

Seen something newsworthy? Tell us!

In former lives Leon's been a scientist, a musician and teacher, stints that included a shoe full of liquid nitrogen, a small tour of Germany and oh GOD so much marking.

[Videos] Just Write on Game of Thrones

I recently started following YouTube channels like The Nerdwriter (Patreon link) and Just Write (Patreon link) to get more ideas for my own writing (should I ever find the nerve to truly pick up the pen again) and there's a lot of good stuff there. They've helped fill the gap in my entertainment analysis diet while waiting for videos from Every Frame a Painting (Patreon link).

What was a bit more striking was how his initial video on what we can learn from the writing of Game of Thrones was eventually balanced with a criticism of the writing in the latest season. And that's quite a wide shift in looking at a body of work, which is really the joy of criticism of this nature.

So here are the two videos - he raises some good points in both videos.

Here is a quick history infographic of how headphones started. Headphones have gone through decades of transformation and have emerged as one of the most popular consumer electronic items. But what come through the way for the history of headphones?

A quick history of Headphones (Infographic)
Headphones have evolved from telephones and were used in theater in 1880s. But gradually innovators made headphones to serve as a portable and personal device.
Initially the successive technology breakthroughs in modern headphones came about to primarily support onstage performers. Musicians sought for a high quality top performing in ear monitors while performing. Engineers found solutions by incorporating different technologies to the in-ear monitors.
The solutions included introduction of custom in-ear monitors and balanced armature drivers. During the past decade or so balanced armature driver in-ear monitors have become popular among audiophiles. Balanced armature drivers serve to increase the performance of in-ear monitors. These come in up to 8 drivers per ear.
Below is an infographic created by hertzbeat, it traces the important stages of the innovations throughout out the 120 year history of headphones.

Cast Announced for Choir Boy

LOS ANGELES (August 11, 2014) – The Geffen Playhouse announces the complete cast for the West Coast premiere of Choir Boy. This new production – featuring gospel music – will highlight several performers from the Manhattan Theatre Club run. Nicholas L. Ashe and Grantham Coleman will join the previously announced Jeremy Pope whose performance as Pharus Young was called, “magnetic [and] moving,” by The New York Times.

Caleb Eberhardt will reprise his role from the Alliance Theatre run that prompted the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to call the new work, “… an exceptionally beautiful, heart-pummeling piece of theatre.” Leonard Kelly-Young, Donovan Mitchell and Michael A. Shepperd will debut as their respective characters and complete the cast for the Geffen Playhouse production in the Gil Cates Theater.

Trip Cullman will again direct the play written by MacArthur Fellow Tarell Alvin McCraney. Previews begin September 16 with an opening night on September 26 and closing on October 26.

At the Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys, a young black man knows what is expected of him. Work hard, fall in line and if you’ve got the voice for it, use it to praise God in the school choir. Within these walls, Pharus Young, with the voice of an angel and a keen mind, should be a star. But in the face of Drew’s time-honored traditions, can music overcome silence? Award-winning playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney navigates expectation, alienation and the overwhelming desire to be heard.

Choir Boy premiered at London’s Royal Court Theatre. The London Guardian said Choir Boy is, “… an exhilarating multi-layered new play.” Following its American premiere at Manhattan Theatre Club, Marilyn Stasio said in Variety, Choir Boy, the mighty coming-of-age play by Tarell Alvin McCraney deserves its kudos. An all-American cast captures the bristling tensions at a prestigious prep school for African American boys when a flamboyantly gay youth is named leader of their celebrated gospel choir. Terrific young actor-singers, some barely out of school themselves, not only make angelic choristers, they also pitch themselves into a hot debate on the meaning and value of gospel music. Could this be another The History Boys? Could be.”

Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, “All of the actors portraying the schoolboys have terrific voices, and these sequences are among the most pleasurable in the play.”

McCraney is the author of Head of Passes that premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre Company and The Brother/Sister Plays trilogy that premiered at the New York Public Theater. The Brothers Size, from that trilogy, is currently playing at the Fountain Theatre and has extended through September 14.

Choir Boy comes on the heels of the successful co-production between the Geffen Playhouse and Manhattan Theatre Club for The Country House – which saw its world premiere at the Geffen Playhouse and will open on Broadway this October.

In addition to the opening night, the run of Choir Boy will feature over a dozen pre-show and post-show Signature Series events. Ranging from the cerebral to the celebratory these include TGIF at the Geffen, Talk Back Tuesdays (Audience Q+A with artists), Girls Night Out, Lounge Fridays, and Wine Down Sundays. Thanks to the support of Geffen Playhouse partners and sponsors, all elements of Signature Series evenings are complimentary as part of the standard ticket price. Signature Series events include:

  • Talk Back Tuesdays give theater lovers a chance for a deeper conversation to discuss plot, character, themes or any other questions directly with the artists. Talk Back Tuesdays include pre-show coffee and tea tastings courtesy of Keurig and a post-show Q+A.

  • Girls just wanna have fun, and Girls Night Out events are unique after-parties that happen once during each Gil Cates Theater season production. Guys are welcome too. Each event features partnerships with different lifestyle experts, brands or products that keep patrons on the cusp of what’s hot in LA including private shopping events and food tastings: a festive evening of theater followed by an utterly unique party with complimentary signature drinks courtesy of Deep Eddy vodka, appetizers, photo booth and a take away beauty gift.

  • Happy hour Lounge Fridays turns the Geffen Playhouse into a haven to help fast-paced Angelenos ease into their weekend and unwind at this cultural happy hour. Complimentary sparkling, courtesy of Barefoot Bubbly, joins other enticing refreshments starting at 7:00 pm.

  • Wine Down Sundays provides the perfect pairing – pre-performance wine sampling poured by winemakers or distributors and classic sounds of Southern California courtesy of 100.3 The Sound spinning vinyl with world class theater. Different vintages are featured for each production allowing patrons to discover new wine and great music before each theatrical experience.

  • TGIF at the Geffen takes place on Friday of preview week and is the ideal cultural meet up and hot-spot on the west side. Enjoy classic to contemporary tunes from DJ Mike pre-show on the Simms Courtyard patio plus drink specials at the concessions bar.

COMMENTARY: Rohingya Crisis is Just the Tip of a Dark Iceberg

Villagers fleeing fighting between the Tatmadaw and Kachin Independence Army arrive in Namti town, Kachin State, in April. / Kachin Baptist Convention

During a recent trip to the United States, an American told me how she used to have a good relationship with her Burmese neighbors, who had lived in New York for a long time. However, the family stopped talking to her after she tried to raise the Rohingya issue with them, she said.

This was a story of a divided neighborhood overseas. But, there are many more such divided neighborhoods in Myanmar.

The international community has been well informed about the human rights abuses committed by the Myanmar Army against the Rohingya in the state of Rakhine. There is much sympathy for the the Rohingya, which fled en masse to Bangladesh after the Myanmar Army launched a massive military sweep in the west of the state last year.

The international community is considering how it can help the Rohingya regain their human dignity as equals based on human rights. It cannot accept how the Tatmadaw has treated them, burned their houses, tortured, arrested and put many of them in prison. All human beings should be treated equally – that is the view of the international community.

During my one-week visit, I gave some public talks about the decline of press freedom in Myanmar. I met US State Department officials and some members of Congress to brief them about how press freedoms in the country have been curtailed.

U.S. government officials and members of Congress are generally well informed about the political situation in Myanmar, and were happy to listen to our stories about how press freedom is increasingly being restricted. They even asked what they could do to help boost media freedoms in the country. They said the U.S. government was not happy to see the political situation in Myanmar deteriorating and expressed a desire to see it move forward under the government of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who gained international recognition and a Nobel Peace prize for her long pro-democracy struggle.

But people asked me most about the Rohingya.

I was surprised to meet one member of Congress who just seemed to want us to listen to him talk about the Rohingya, instead of listening to our accounts of the state of press freedom. He seemed to think that if the Myanmar government gave full citizenship to the Rohingya, then all their problems would be solved.

I told him about a case I came across at a refugee camp in Myae Pone Township in Rakhine State. There were some Rohingya there who had been granted full citizenship cards, but they still could not leave the camp. It did not matter what cards they possessed. The more important thing, I told him, was that they had the freedom to travel and work. We spent about 40 minutes talking about the Rohingya, and did not get the chance to bring up the issue of media rights with him.

There are ongoing investigations by different U.S. government departments about rights abuses committed by the Myanmar Army against the Rohingya. Washington has vowed to target certain Army and government officials with sanctions, based on the recommendations of the different government departments.

The Rohingya crisis is one of the biggest international issues today. Yet, there are other issues in Myanmar, especially in Kachin State, where fighting has been raging for almost two months. There are 150,000 Kachin IDPs who have had to flee their homes due to the fighting and amid widespread reports of human rights abuses by the Myanmar Army.

The Myanmar Army’s actions against the ethnic Kachin are not much different to what it has done to the Rohingya. But most normal civilians from the international community know very little about the six-decade long civil war between the Myanmar Army and the ethnic rebel groups in the country.

The ethnic groups have suffered many different types of abuses at the hands of the Myanmar Army, and they want the international community to know their situation is not dissimilar to that of the Rohingya. It is time is to bring the two issues together. Both the Rohingya and the ethnic groups have been targets of human rights abuses. But while the international community talks about one, it seems to ignore the other.

Government raises import duty on 328 textile products to curb imports

Government has doubled import duties on 328 textile products to 20% from existing rate of 10% under Section 159 of the Customs Act, 1962.  Earlier in July 2018, Government had doubled import duty on over 50 textile products — including jackets, suits and carpets to 20%.

The increase in duties will give edge to domestic manufacturers as imported products are currently cheaper. It will curb soaring imports from China and focus more on local value addition in labour-intensive sector. This move will also help to promote ‘Make in India’ as imports of these goods had surged drastically in last one year especially post GST. It will increase in manufacturing activity in various segments of the entire value chain of textile sector, which will help to create jobs in sector, which employs about 10.5 crore people.

The move comes amid mounting concerns that trade war between world’s biggest economies United States and China will further aggravate dumping of cheaper products from China to Indian markets. As such, India’s textile imports jumped by 16% to record $7 billion in last fiscal, with China accounting for over 40% of purchases. Moreover, 28% hike in cotton prices by Government recently to ensure at least 50% premium to farmers over costs is expected to raise basic raw material costs for domestic manufacturers and could hurt our export competitiveness across value chains in the textile and garment sector.

Tamil Nadu declared best state for active participation in Swasth Bharat Yatra

On 28th January 2019, Tamil Nadu was declared the ‘Best State Overall’ for its active participation in the national campaign ‘Swasth Bharat Yatra’. The campaign was a 100-day consumer outreach programme of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), which was launched on 16th October 2018 to amplify its Eat Right India initiative. Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra were adjudged the Best States with population above 3 crore. Punjab, Goa and Delhi were recognised as the Best States having population less than 3 crore. Meghalaya, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttrakhand were given special awards for their participation despite their hilly and difficult terrain. The Yatra saw the involvement of 10 lakh participants and reached to around 2.5 crore people across various States and UTs. It also led to the creation of 21,000 local ‘Eat Right Champions’ who would sustain this movement in the future.

French Anti-Terror Efforts in Africa’s Sahel Region

The recent terror attacks in Burkina Faso, Mali, Côte d’Ivoire have shown a breakdown in anti-terror efforts in the region. France is the leading power that invests resources and efforts in fighting against the militant groups, but the current events bring to situation close to running out of control.

The ongoing anti-insurgent operation in Africa’s Sahel region, called “Operation Barkhane”, was launched on August 1, 2014. The French-led operation has been designed by five former French colonies: Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger. A permanent 3500-strong French forces headquartered in the capital of Chad, N’Djamena play a key role. The Forces consist of 17 helicopters, 4 fighter jets, 5 drones, 200 armored vehicles, 200 logistic vehicles and 6-10 transport aircrafts.

The operation had “to become the French pillar of counterterrorism in the Sahel region” and push Al-Qaeda (AQIM) and Ansar Dine to reduce their activity. However, recent attacks on hotels in Bamako, Ouagadougou and Abidjan highlight the lack of operation’s success. According to experts, the French-led forces can’t achieve a middle-term effect due to the insufficiency of regional and cross-border cooperation. The shortfall of intelligence sharing, terrain monitoring and control are the crucial problems for the operation. The 2-year long mission has also shown the lack of operable equipment. 6 drones are clearly not enough to monitor a territory larger than the territory of the European Union.

For instance, a group of 100 French soldiers equipped with 5 helicopters were deployed in Northern Mali last February. The group had to control some 1200 square kilometers and conduct combat operations assisting Mali’s military forces. Not long before the deployment all helicopters went unserviceable amid a lack of spare parts and qualified techs. Meanwhile the ground supplying ways were actually blocked due to militant’s mine-warfare activities. As a result of this, the things on hand didn’t allow the group to meet a goal objective.

The crucial lack of air support and supplies prevented any major offensive operations of the forces involved in Operation Barkhane. Chad armed forces suffered a permanent armament and supplies shortage. Finally, Chad withdrew troops back to Lake Chad’s area where by that time Boko Haram increased activity. In other words, the French leadership in the region has almost failed.

The core fault was that the French desire to resolve the issue fast and straight while relying mostly on its own battle-ready limited contingent of troops instead of making a time and resource-consuming contribution to develop joint forces and counterterror infrastructure in the regional countries. Somehow it looks like faults in operational and strategic planning or French military leadership came from the fact that they didn’t try to build-up of its regional allies’ military capacity.

The solution of the militancy problem in the Sahel region lies in the deepening of the regional and trans-border security cooperation in the framework of the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) regional organization. Relying on these bodies, it’s possible to extend a net of joint coordination centers and military bases of rapid deployment forces composed of the African Union and ECOWAS Standby Forces, strengthen by the French instructors and special operations troops. The success could be achieved only when an adequate international financing and supply are provided.

At GlobalTech we make injection-molded plastics for life-saving medical devices, including ventilation equipment. That means our manufacturing workers are on the frontlines in the fight against the novel Coronavirus. And it’s why our plant is fully operational even as daily life has changed dramatically for most Americans.

GlobalTech has taken critical steps to ensure the health and safety of our workforce so that we can carry out our life-saving mission.

Smart ForTwo & ForFour Electric guide

Model history

The first mass produced Smart ForTwo Electric Drive (or ED) was introduced in the UK in 2013. This was the third generation of the electric Smart car, following initial field testing in London in 2007 of 100 cars. Due to Daimler's $50M investment investment in Tesla in 2009, Tesla were involved with the development of the Smart ForTwo ED, Mercedes B-class ED and the Mercedes A-class E-Cell, supplying the battery packs & electric powertrains. Daimler later sold their shares (nearly a 10% equity stake in Tesla) in 2014 for $780M. The third generation Smart ForTwo ED from 2013 uses a new 17.6kWh battery pack produced by Deutsche ACCUmotive, a Daimler AG company in Germany. The onboard AC charger is 3.3kW with an optional 22kW charger upgrade costing £2,650.

The forth generation ForTwo came along in 2017 and with a new body on the Renault/Mercedes Edison Platform. The battery pack remains the same 17.6kWh, but the AC charger is now 7.2kW with no higher powered upgrade options. At the same time, the ForFour model (4-door) was also available as an electric drive.

In 2018, the naming changed to EQ for the electric models. A 22kW onboard charger is now also also available. The battery pack remains at 17.6kWh for all models.

For further information on the history of the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive, see the Wikipedia page.

Hot Topics from GBTA 2018

As always, GBTA’s annual convention showcased new innovations, trends, and wealth of hot topics for industry consideration. Here are our thoughts for the forthcoming year of areas to keep an eye on and trends that are certain to create new and exciting opportunities.

Empowering Women: The topic of female traveler security is on the rise in many companies. 68% of female travelers surveyed in AIG research stated that their companies should have policies to address female travel security needs, while 52% say their organizations say that their companies offer safety suggestions. More and more, the female traveler is looking for their organizations to view and see their needs differently than their male counterparts. GBTA announced Monday the acquisition of Women in the Travel Industry (WINit), a career development network aimed at increasing visibility, mobility, and development for women in the travel, meeting, events and exhibition industries. This acquisition will enhance the ability to support women in the travel industry.

Getting Artificial: The Potential for More Effective Travel Management Artificial Intelligence (AI, or more accurately called machine learning), bots, and new technologies are changing the way travel transactions and trip records are managed and handled. PwC suggests over 54% of businesses are making substantial investments in AI. AI requires buyers to think differently about managed travel in several areas, including; 1) Predictive technology to determine flight disruption patterns; 2) Profiling travelers to improve their travel experience, and 3) manage travel costs. Buyers will continue to see AI change and improve their programs in the future.

OBT Integration with Preferred Suppliers Newsflash: loyalty programs are here to stay and travelers love them – so the next phase of category management will be alignment, where appropriate, with managed travel programs. Gaining improvements in the traveler experience by utilizing existing loyalty programs (again, as always, when appropriate) creates traveler satisfaction gains, delivers market share, and creates stronger partnerships.

Managing Travel in a New Millennial Age Millennials and Gen Z in the workforce are driving changes in the way policies are written, enforced, and communicated. As travel managers continue to witness a migration into a younger workforce base of travelers, they will need to modify and adapt to communicate more effectively with Millennials and Gen Z travelers. While communication is more important than ever, savvy buyers must find a way to offer as many channels as possible: annual “big bang” surveys (owned by buyers rather than suppliers) and social are key.

Virtual Payments are a Continuing Trend This Year More buyers are deploying virtual payment programs to individuals for their ease of use, and the benefits it brings in reducing fraud and easing the burden of the reconciliation process. Citing improvement in the traveler experience, process efficiency in the managed travel workflow and better spend insights, virtual payment is here to stay.

Merging Travel and Meetings Integrating travel and meetings is slowly progressing; however many businesses have not yet combined the two areas. Businesses are now investing heavily in integrated meeting platforms to focus on Duty of Care for the Meetings Category. Duty of Care planning is still a key concern and often not as integrated as needed, especially for small/medium sized corporations.

Measurable Savings are Still King Companies are employing more rigorous parameters than ever on how to recognize and report savings. Some of the soft dollar/value components are not considered savings according to these parameters, thereby creating more emphasis on strategic negotiations to yield value as defined by the unique culture of each organization.

TMC 3.0 was Voted Most Desired Discussion from All Tech Trends Possible TMC’s have migrated their focus from many in-house technologies to integrating third parties. As years of disciplined procurement savings flatten out, the heightened focus on the traveler experience demands rapid and nimble adoption of an ever-increasing number of third-party technologies. Many buyers who are considering market evaluations of TMCs have put this technology trend at the top of their evaluation methodology.

Surviving Innovation Technology is constantly changing the way we live and work, and consumers are adapting to technology faster than generations before us. Managed travel is often caught in between the consumer experience versus the policy, rules-driven business travel experience. This ever-increasing tension requires buyers to not only understand the changing market but evaluate the cost/benefit of individually purchased technologies versus those offered by the various supplier platforms.

Managed vs Unmanaged Travel Benefits Many suppliers miss the key distinction of what buyers are interested in for managed travel programs versus supplier offers for unmanaged travel. The main value proposition of a managed travel program is that you can get something that your travelers can’t get anywhere else. Integration of loyalty programs, direct offering versus TMC platforms, NDC are just a few of these opportunities to build more value between buyers and sellers.

Equitable Stroke Control (Limiting Strokes per Hole)

Equitable Stroke Control, or "ESC" is the practice of limiting how many strokes a player can take on a hole for handicapping purposes only. Golf League Tracker supports entering limits for players so that an unusually high score doesn't skew a player's handicap. The term for this, coined by the USGA, is Equitable Stroke Control.

You have the option of setting different maximums for different handicap ranges, although I suggest switching over to the World Handicap System Maximum of Net Double Bogey, which applies to all players.

World Handicap System

With the new 2020 World Handicap System coming into effect, the USGA is simplifying their Equitable Stroke Control Settings to be the same for all handicap ranges.  The new maximum is:

Net Double-Bogey

Golf League Tracker handles this calculation automatically when you choose Net Double Bogey and apply it to the full range of handicaps when you're using Golf League Tracker in the Full League Mode (the "default" mode of Golf League Tracker). If you're using Golf League Tracker in the handicapping only mode, you enter the total score, which has to be adjustment manually by the player before entering.

USGA Pre-2020 Handicap System

The USGA ESC system prior to the World Handicap System has range of maximum values which they've defined that are based on a player's current handicap. In generally, the lower the handicap for a player, the fewer strokes they can take on a hole. The logic for this is that for a lower handicapped player, it's more unusual to make a high score on a hole vs. a higher handicapped player.

The following is the USGA maximum stroke count for an 18-hole handicap:

Handicap Maximum Number
Up to 10 double bogey
10 up to 20 7
20 up to 30 8
30 up to 40 9
40 and above 10

Table Converted to a 9 Hole Handicap

9 Hole Handicap Maximum Number
Less than 5 double bogey
5 up to 10 7
10 up to 15 8
15 up to 20 9
20 and above 10

Setting ESC in Golf League Tracker

To set ESC in Golf League Tracker, you will go into the League Settings in the League Setup tab, choose Equitable Stroke Control from the settings category list, and edit one of the values. You can have up to 6 different ranges of handicaps if you want to apply different limits to each range.

Example 1

Set all players to a maximum score of Net Double Bogey per hole:

  • Create a Handicap Range, by default it's set from -99 to 99
  • Choose Net Double Bogey from the drop down list for maximum score

Example 2

Set players below a 10 handicap to a maximum of a 7, and players 10 handicap or more to a maximum of 8:

  • Create a handicap range and set the range from -99 to 8
  • Set the maximum score to 7
  • Create a 2nd handicap range and set the range from 8 to 99
  • Set the maximum score to 8

My Approach to Helping

I offer therapy to individuals, children, couples, and families. My goal is to offer you a safe place and time. The therapeutic relationship is an important one, and there are many reasons to seek counseling. Some people seek therapy because they want more happiness or peace. Most clients find that our sessions offer relief from their symptoms within a few months. They also cultivate new insights and skills.

I work with people from many backgrounds and histories to solve problems and live up to their potential. Couples make up over half of my clientele. While I work with many couples going through separation or divorce, I work equally with couples who are trying to improve their relationships and stay together. My goal is to help couples find healthy ways to relate to each other.

I have been a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist since 1994. My training and therapeutic style includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Enneagram, as well as Narrative, Family Systems, Child and Attachment-Based Therapy. Since I do a lot of clinical work with divorcing couples, I am also a trained Mediator.

For over 15 years my clinical practice has served hundreds of couples and individuals seeking a balance between individual fulfillment and connection in intimate relationships. I also practice co-parent counseling with parents who are in the process of separating.

I facilitate talks throughout the Bay Area on mental health issues such as stress, work/life balance and effective parenting strategies. In the non-profit sector I provide program consultation to organizations serving a diverse range of parents with the goal strengthening families.

Axon's Automotive Anorak: Plugging the gaps with posh pick‑ups

Well, it was inevitable I guess.  By now most of the prestige and premium European car brands have managed to occupy (or created) every known new car segment, from funky electric city cars to lumbering SUVs, irrespective of customer demand or otherwise. So, posh pick-up trucks have to be the next logical step to plug yet another market niche!
