Rising of Medan Ipoh

Medan Ipoh or Ipoh Garden East has been one of the most happening spots in Ipoh. There are restaurants, pubs, hawker centre, amusement centre & shopping complexes at the vicinity. All these used to be developed in low rise shophouses and land has become limited nowadays. Since the first high rise MH Hotel completed, it seems future projects are focusing in growing vertically. While D'Festivo Condominium still progressing aggressively, few more taller towers will rise adjacent to MH Hotel which will reach to a new height limit in Ipoh to have 30 floors. And yet there are several high rise proposals in the pipeline. Probably in 3 years, this Ipoh's northern gateway will display a new metropolitan skyline.

difference between elastic limit and proportional limit

hi all,

can anyone explain about the following basic questions

1. me the difference between the proportional limit and elastic limit.

   Please dont give the definitions of both, i need some detailed explaination.

 2. How many natural frequency a object can have?

1. the difference can be understood from the definitions itself:

- proportional limit is strain below which the stress is proportional to strain i.e. linear relation between the two. e.g.  sigma=E*epsilon for steel.

- elastic limit is strain below which the material can regain its original shape if the forces are release, doesn't matter if the stress-strain relation is linear or not. for example rubber. the strain-strain law is highly non-linear (and hence not "proportional") but still elastic.

2. number of natural frequencies (or natural modes of vibration) depend on number of degrees of freedom (DOF). i.e. number of possible different (unique) ways a body can be deformed. in reality, every body has infinite number of particles (nothing is absolutely rigid) and therefore infinite number of DOFs => infinite number of natual frequencies. practically, only frequencies that are in the range of interest (that affect behavior in operating range of freq) are important. these can be obtained from analytical or computational models. for example, in FEM, the no of natural freq is total number of DOF of the model.  the more DOF u include (finer mesh),  the closer it gets to reality.

materails exhibiting behaviour 1 (jj post above) are termed as "hypoelastic"

Global Export by Using an Export Trading Company

Global Export

Global Export by Using an Export Trading Company

Some products are in such demand that global export may be desirable for the manufacturer. An example of this would be cell phones made in China, which appear for sale in most other countries. The varying requirements of each country may present some difficulties when shipping globally, no matter what the item might be.

Why Export Controls are a Concern for global Exports

Export controls are imposed by all countries to restrict certain materials or equipment from exportation. In the United States, most controls concern military defense and national security. Global Export controls may also be attached to anything that is scarce or products that are to be sent to restricted destinations. Controls may also be placed on food or fuel to assure that enough remains in the country for the use of its citizens.

Countries Blacklisted from Global Export

Even when an item is considered for global export, there are some places where it cannot be sent. Some countries are embargoed because of blacklisting by the international community. Others have restricted trade, which only allows certain items to reach their borders. While the United States may limit or withhold shipments to some countries, other nations may not. This is the case with Cuba.

Benefits of Using an Export Trading Company

If a company is to begin global export of products, an export trading company (ETC) can be a valuable asset in this venture. The ETC works with other companies involved with exporting goods, and may handle such things as billing, shipping, warehousing, and other items. The ETC will often handle other business for the entity it is representing, which can include handling legal requirements for shipments, insuring the goods, and gathering marketing information.

Handling Global Export Shipments through Multiple ETCs

A global export generally requires more than one export trading company  to handle interpreting and negotiating regulations. Depending on the geographic locations involved and the size of the company doing the exports, a different ETC could be used for every country. Most ETCs are separate from the companies they represent, but there can be a crossover when a parent company is involved.

Formation of ETCs as a Branch of a Company

An ETC may be paid based on a flat rate or by way of a commission. Often, an ETC is formed by a company in the exporting business to handle one product, and sometimes several companies in the same business will form an ETC to reduce costs in the exporting business. Even though the companies are in competition with one another, the cost savings can make such a joint venture work for all the parties involved.

Using an ETC for some parts of the export process is more economical than attempting everything in house, especially when there are many countries to deal with. A proper arrangement allows for much better communication and saves time because of the familiarity of the ETC with clients and national export policies.

Rent A Back To The Future DeLorean

Rent A Back To The Future DeLorean

Now you can rent a replica of the DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future. This one isn’t the actual DeLorean that appears in the films, but it’s been made to look just like it. It’s got little gadgets that are animated, light up, and make sound. Not only that, but the rental includes other Back To The Future stuff like a hoverboard, future glasses, protective radiation gear, and a 1985 JVC video camera. Well that seems cool! And totally worth the $1500 daily price tag. Unless you consider the fact that it is NOT actually a time machine. I mean it’s still cool, but for $1500? I better be able to take that sucker up to 88 MPH and fix some serious mistakes. Otherwise? No deal! Sorry, but Mama’s got bills to pay.

We want to know all of your thoughts and feelings. Please share them in great detail below.
  • What a great idea! A little steep at $1500 a day however if you can go back in time, totally worth it!

New floodplain on Mission Creek in Kelowna could soon see some action

A section of Mission Creek through it's namesake Regional Park in Kelowna.
March 11, 2016 - 7:00 AM

KELOWNA - With snowpacks high in the Okanagan, the brand new flood plain created by the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative could soon get a workout.

“We’re expecting to see water in it soon,” project coordinator Steve Matthews says. “We’re quite excited about seeing it in action.”

He expects the floodplain to flood on average, once every two years during the spring freshet, so it will be a busy place.

“About 50 per cent of the time we expect water to go in there,” Matthews says. “We created some meanders and pools and connected to an old side channel."

Matthews oversaw, during the last six months, crews from various partner agencies as they scalped the existing Mission Creek dike down to near the low water mark and rebuilt it almost 100 metres further inland, creating a floodplain one hectare in size.

On land now exposed to flooding, crews created channels and transplanted various trees and shrubs to create fish and wildlife habitat.

The floodplain was created on land purchased by the City of Kelowna in a project that began in 2002, although actual construction began only last fall.

Mission Creek had been “channelized” — straightened and diked — for flood control beginning in the late 1950s, Matthews says, but the short-term flood solution had long term negative effects on fish and wildlife habitat.

“We lost about 50 per cent of the river’s length and 80 to 90 per cent of fish habitat and the riparian zone,” he says.

With this project complete, Matthews says the hope is more city-owned land along Mission Creek can be dedicated to its restoration.

“It’s the lower 12 kilometres that is the concern and this is only 500 metres so its a small but important first step,” he adds.

The Mision Creek Restoration Initiative is a project with many partners including the federal and provincial governments and the City of Kelowna.

Insight & opinion

Overcoming M&A challenges through centralisation

Apr 30, 2012 11:17:00 AM

Comments 0

Deloitte have published a high-level report, on what North America's top finance executives are thinking. This post takes a look at how CFOs can potentially overcome some of the growing challenges associated with new M&A activity during a sluggish economy.

The report finds that the top priorities for North American CFOs are:

1. Revenue growth/preservation in new markets
2. Framing and/or adapting strategy
3. Prioritizing investments
4. Talent (availability, development, morale and cost)
5. Revenue growth/preservation in existing markets

Falling just outside of the top 5 is M&A activity - which is now a challenge for 25% of CFOs.

Many large businesses, during 2010/11, saw opportunities arise throughout their respective markets (mainly Retail/Wholesale, Manufacturing and Healthcare/Pharma) as suppliers, partners, competitors and complimentary organisations began to crumble under the pressure of the recession.

These (now) reasonably-priced, valued businesses are being gobbled up by the major corporates who are looking to either add alongside their existing operations, integrate into their core business or remove from the market. Those who choose to assimilate a new acquisition also absorb the outstanding debt, potentially different cultures, various talent pools and an array of operational efficiencies that could lead the acquirer to this juncture.

Many of the large corporates who snatch-up a bargain mid-recession (take Kellogg Company for example) are themselves faced with a sluggish economy and are frantically looking to generate cash in new and existing markets.

A potential solution for overcoming this cash flow issue could, in fact, lie in cash preservation (rather than revenue generation). A natural result of M&A activity is a fracture or dispersion of spend patterns increasing the likelihood of maverick spend behaviour. Large organisations can realise significant cash benefits (which can be reinvested into capital or used to service debt) by centralising key buckets of dispersed non-core spend areas (such as professional services, facilities management, travel), driving out cost efficiencies and synergies across the business.

Releasing cash through this method, if done correctly, not only can deliver a fast ROI but also significantly increases control and ensures greater spend /regulatory compliance across dispersed business units.

This approach requires both Finance and Procurement to work in unison. However, our recent research has found that over 60% of CFOs (involved in the study) expressed dissatisfaction with their internal procurement teams business engagement and change management capabilities - meaning that the CFO is looking elsewhere for solutions to his/her M&A challenges.

  • Has anyone successfully developed a centralised cost approach which includes new mergers or acquisitions?

  • If yes, what results are you seeing - particularly in respects to bottom line impact?

Check out an exclusive glimpse at The Dead, a zombie apocalypse film which is billing itself as the first horror movie filmed entirely in Africa. This scene gets major points for creepy claustrophobic use of a cornfield, in a manner very reminiscent of Stephen King, and the actual zombie attack is nicely disturbing.

The Dead comes out on DVD on Feb. 14 from Anchor Bay. Check out some stills and the film's trailer, below.

Here's the trailer, in which we discover that it's not just a lone white guy fleeing from African zombies. There's also a heroic African dude who joins up with him:

And here's the official blurb and description for The Dead, plus some stills:

Unlike anything audiences have been exposed to before, THE DEAD grabs you by the throat and takes you on a visceral journey across the harsh but stunning landscapes of Africa, where the sole survivor of the doomed final evacuation flight out of the continent has more than just the unforgiving terrain to deal with. Written and directed by Howard J. Ford and Jon Ford, THE DEAD has also stunned audiences at such prestigious film festivals such as Fantastic Fest, FrightFest and the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival.

The first horror film entirely filmed in Africa, THE DEAD takes the zombie legend back to its original roots and has justly been hailed as "superbly's a knockout" by the Village Voice, "one of the finest zombie films I've ever seen" by the Horror Channel, Bloody-Disgusting declared it "one of the most buzzed-about films of the year."Anchor Bay Entertainment proudly announces the February 14th Blu-ray™ and DVD release of THE DEAD, the critically acclaimed horror film that wowed both audiences and critics worldwide.

When the last flight out of war-torn Africa crashes off the coast, Lt. Brian Murphy (Rob Freeman) is the sole survivor in a land where the dead are returning to life and attacking the living. On the run in a hostile and inhospitable parched landscape, Murphy has to use his wits and ingenuity if he is to get home alive to his family. When he crosses paths with local solider Daniel Dembele (Prince David Osei), a man frantically searching for his son, they join forces. Two desperate men from two very different cultures fight side-by-side to survive across the incredible vistas of Africa as the world around them succumbs to the deadliest of viruses.

No offense to J.J. Abrams, but the best Star Wars storytelling in the past year may have been on Star Wars Rebels. Executive producer Dave Filoni and his team weaved a complex, exciting tale that not only illuminated many previous Star Wars myths, but set up new ones, too.

This Tuesday, the second season of Star Wars Rebels hits Blu-ray and, for the series alone, it’s a must-have. Rebels isn’t a series that’s easily, or cheaply, accessible on most streaming services so if you are a Star Wars completist or (gasp!) haven’t seen the show, there isn’t even a question here. It’s 22 episodes, containing over eight hours of new, essential Star Wars content; they look great, they sound great, and you don’t have to wait week-to-week to see what’s next.

Beyond those episodes, though, I’m sorry to say the second season Blu-ray set can’t hold a candle to the first season, or any of the Star Wars feature films for that matter. Its ancillary features are sorely lacking.

The main extra feature is 20 episodes of Rebels Recon, the Star Wars YouTube show that recaps each episode, offering context, trivia, and interviews. These are great, but they’re all already on YouTube. Sure, it’s nice to have a hard copy, and they’re a great addition to the Rebels experience, but because they’re readily available, it’s hard to give too much credit on this particular release.

Really, the only new additions are two featurettes, one that runs three minutes and 30 seconds and another that runs just over six minutes. That’s barely 10 minutes of special features, not a real big selling point.

At least the 10 minutes are solid.

The shorter clip is called Connecting the Galaxy: Rebels Season Two. It’s a quickly edited piece that reveals some obvious (and not so obvious) easter eggs from the season; among the highlights are a link between Maz Kanata and Hondo Ohnaka as well as a Star Wars canon first: lightsabers in training mode. There are some Clone Wars connections, historical references, and more, too. It packs a good amount of information into a short time. (Update: EW posted this.)

The longer clip is called From Apprentice to Adversary: Vader vs. Ahsoka, and it’s a Dave Filoni-narrated feature talking about the long-awaited showdown between the characters in the season finale. Filoni explains why George Lucas wanted Ahsoka introduced in the first place, how early he knew this showdown would occur, the two images he’d created before he even started writing the duel, and more. Filoni also ends by promising he’ll reveal what happened after the season’s cliffhanger finale in the future. The video is really quite wonderful, but it mainly makes you wish there were more.

And really, that’s the main feeling from the entire set. You watch the discs, you enjoy them, and then you can’t believe that’s it. We don’t even get the season three trailer, which is kind of odd. (Here’s that if you want to watch it.)

Still, lack of special features aside, Star Wars Rebels is fantastic. The way it takes everything you know and love about Star Wars and still tells original stories is inspiring. And though it tells those stories with mostly new characters, it never steers too far away from the films, giving plenty of context and connections for fans to analyze and smile about. It’s the perfect balance of new and old, one that makes an otherwise disappointing Blu-ray still worth having.

From Herschel to ALMA : new insights into the physics of Class 0 protostars

Anaëlle Maury (ESO, Garching)
Jeudi 15 Décembre - 11 h 00
Salle Manuel Forestini - IPAG

The launch of the Herschel submillimeter space observatory and the beginning of ALMA science operations have recently opened new windows for our exploration of the early phases of star formation. In this talk, I will describe the two main projects we’ve been carrying out in the last year to try better understanding the physics at work during the Class 0 phase, which is believed to represent the very first step of protostellar formation.

First I will present a study aiming at improving our knowledge of the earliest phases of clustered star formation, at large scales. I used MAMBO, Spitzer and Herschel Gould Belt survey maps of two prominent cluster-forming clumps in the Aquila Rift complex to characterize the evolutionary stage of the protostellar populations in these two protoclusters. I will show that our findings support a scenario of relatively fast accretion during the Class 0 protostellar phase, and suggest that the detailed manner in which the gravitational collapse has been initiated in those two protoclusters does not affect much the ability of a these clumps to form stars.

In a second part, I will present the high angular resolution studies of Class 0 protostars I carry out with both SMA & PdBI, and describe our surprising findings regarding the formation mechanisms of circumstellar disks and multiple systems at the Class 0 stage. I will also briefly present our PdBI Large Observing Program targeting an unprecedented large sample of 17 nearby low-mass Class 0 protostars. I will show some first preliminary observations obtained this year, and describe how this dataset will help us using efficiently ALMA capabilities to extend this pathfinder survey to the new large unbiased sample of Class 0 protostars unveiled by the Herschel Gould Belt survey.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of pregnancy, abortion, delivery and contraceptive use and the relationship between the related factors and the early coitus among Korean teenagers. Method: The subjects of this study were 12,733 teenagers age 13-19 years in 7 major cities and 9 provinces in Korea. Data was collected from 2 Oct., to 28 Oct., 2000 and analyzed by using SPSS 10.0 Program. Results: The results showed pregnancy rate 4.5%, delivery rate 0.5%, abortion rate 0.4%. Adolescent girls who experienced coitus relatively went to vocational school, coeduaction school, night school in the general characteristics (p=0.000). Adolescent girls who experienced coitus tend to go to video room (18.5%), go the singing room (60.7%), the bar (54.8%), petting with the partner during the dates. There were overlapping juvenile delinquencies such as drinking (89.2%), pornography (65.3%), bond inhalation (2.7%), leaving homes (43.7%), smoking (14.5%), cyber sex (70.8%), phone sex (12.9%). Adolescent girls who experienced coitus were more suffering from Wangtta (26.1%) than who had not. They showed significant positive attitudes toward coitus; such as feeling of excitement (6.6%), nature (37.9%), beauty (8.7%). On the other hand, they had more guilty (2.8%) than the inexperienced (p=0.000). The main factors relating to early coitus were 'to confirm love' (46.9%), 'afraid of rejection' (32.2%). They think the benefits of coitus were 'more intimacy with boyfriends' (20.6%), 'satisfaction of curiosity' (16.8%). The losses on coitus were 'worry about pregnancy' (73.7%) and 'unability to refuse sexual contacts' (28.7%) Conclusion: It could be concluded that it is necessary to plan different sex education programs according to general characteristics and delinquency behaviors of teenage girls in Korea.

    Phl calls support for its fight vs terrorism

    A PHILIPPINE official on Sunday said he called on the delegates of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (UNGCTS) to support the government’s anti-terrorism law in a statement delivered on June 12 before the United Nations General Assembly.
    Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Civilian Security and Consular Affairs Rafael Seguis said he also told the delegates that the Philippines has been in active pursuit of three draft bills on (a) strategic trade management involving dual use of goods, (b) Chemical Weapons Convention, and (3) Biological Weapons Convention.
    “The Philippines has been facing constant threats of terrorism during the past decade… (but) our resolve remains clearer than ever…rather than submit to fear and paralysis, all the more we have become undaunted and determined,” Seguis declared.
    Seguis was in New York when he delivered the Philippine statement during the Fourth Biennial Review of the United Nations Global Counter Terrorism Strategy. He reported on the Philippines’ various accomplishments in combating terrorism since its last report during the Third Review back in 2012.
    He reported on the various rescue efforts by the pertinent authorities of the Philippine Government involving persons abducted and/or held hostage by terrorists in the Philippines, including the recent capture of Khair Mundos a.k.a. Abu Ayman, who is wanted in the United States and has acknowledged to have received funds from Al Qaeda to finance bombings in the Philippines.
    Seguis said the Philippines has been successful in fulfilling the objectives of the Four Pillars of the UNGCTS, with due emphasis given to the recent signing of the Philippines-Indonesia Memorandum of Understanding on Combating International Terrorism, and the partnership with the International Center for Counter Terrorism (ICCT), which developed a National Operation Framework on Counter Radicalization and De-Radicalization (CR/DR).

And in that corner… The Boston College Eagles

Some rivalries mean a little bit more. When Notre Dame and Boston College take the field, the game isn’t likely to garner national headlines or bring ESPN to town. But the “Holy War” has been filled with memorable moments, with most of them featuring the Eagles tripping up an Irish squad — sometimes on the brink of something great.

The Irish’s first loss to Boston College — a 41-39 shocker in 1993 — put the rivalry on the map. But Lou Holtz wasn’t the only Irish coach to get tripped up by the Eagles. Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham, and Charlie Weis all lost to BC, with Willingham’s No. 4 rated Irish nearly doubling the Eagles in yardage but losing 14-7 thanks to five back-breaking turnovers (three fumbles and two Pat Dillingham interceptions in eight throws). Some Irish fans still struggle to acknowledge Boston College as a true rival, but the two-game win streak the Irish are on is their first since 1998, so any air of superiority should have been washed away throughout the Eagles six-game win streak.

This year’s Boston College team is in the midst of an incredibly disappointing season. Head coach Frank Spaziani finds himself squarely on the hot seat, as the third year head coach and long-time Eagles defensive coordinator is sitting at an ugly 3-7, with wins over UMass, Maryland and North Carolina State. His best offensive player, Montel Harris has struggled with injuries all season and his offense has been anemic, scoring more than 20 point only twice.

Through it all has been Bill Maloney, the proprietor of Eagle in Atlanta, one of the longest standing Boston College blogs on the internet. Bill was kind enough to get us up to speed on the Eagles, joining me for the second year in a row. I asked, he answered, you read.

Most predicted the Eagles to take a step forward this season. That’s obviously not been the case. Can you put your finger on one thing that’s been the problem? Just how disastrous has this season been for Frank Spaziani and Boston College?

There isn’t one thing and that is the big problem. Injuries and inexperience are the excuses you hear from Spaz. And it makes sense that he points to those issues as it absolves him of blame. Both are legitimate issues but not the reason BC is only 3-7. Spaz is now on his third coordinator and the results still stink. BC has trouble executing basic plays and time and seems to have a grab bag of offensive philosophies.

Lack of development along the offensive line has been troubling.

The defense — which is Spaz’s baby — has also struggled. They have been blown out twice this season. Even in lean years BC could usually count on the D to keep games close. Not this season.

Plus there are dozens of in-game strategic mistakes that Spaz makes every week. Some of those cost us close games like Northwestern or Duke.

Just how hot is Frank Spaziani’s seat? Do you see him surviving into next year? What are the pros and cons to firing him?

If fans were voting Spaz would be gone already. I actually think he is fairly safe though. I think the University leadership will give him another year as they are blaming Jeff Jagodzinski for all of this season’s problems.

I am firmly in the “Fire Spaz” camp. The only pro I can see for keeping him is saving a few dollars on salary. There is no other reason to keep him around. Recruiting is mediocre even by the staunchest Spaz supporters. He’s not trending the right way in his wins — considering this is Year 3. His age limits the idea that he is building towards the future or that he is a long-term solution.

Injuries have ravaged the Eagles. What’s been the most crippling blow to the team?

Montel Harris was probably the most costly injury. Although the other RBs have had nice games, no one has Harris’s ability to make something from nothing. If he had been around the whole season, BC’s offense would have been a little more consistent.

The Irish have Manti Te’o, their own All-American candidate at linebacker. But for someone that watches Luke Kuechly every week, just how good is he? What do you think his NFL career will be like? Is there a player you can compare him to?

Kuechly is very good. I haven’t seen many players who can shed blockers like he can. He has a great feel for the game and where the action is going. Plus he’s got underrated closing speed, which helps him cover a lot of ground.

I think he can be very good in the NFL. He might not have ideal size, but his productivity should get him drafted in the first round. I don’t know if there is a great NFL comparison right now. Since he is an undersized MLB.

Irish fans have their own second-year quarterback to be critical of, but how would you describe Chase Rettig’s sophomore season? Could you call this year a step forward? Is he still the long-term answer at the position?

I actually remain a big supporter of Chase Rettig. While he is not perfect and hasn’t made a big leap this year, I don’t know if any QB could shine in this situation. He switched coordinators midseason. His Oline has him running for his life half the time. He doesn’t have great skill position guys and his coach refuses to ever open up the offense.

He’s not as accurate as he needs to be, but he’s still got a good arm. I think with time his accuracy will improve. As for his future, it really depends on what BC decides to do with the offense. If Dave Brock wants more running from his QB next year, that is probably not a great sign for Chase. If they will finally start to focus on the pass, he could be very good.

Regardless of their record, Boston College always seems up for a battle with Notre Dame. If you had to pick a way for the Eagles to spring an upset, give me the roadmap. Do you think it will happen?

I have real doubts about BC’s ability to upset the Irish. Even if they force a lot of turnonvers (step 1 for beating ND), I don’t see BC scoring enough to make a difference. I think BC would need to score at least 24 to even entertain an idea of an upset. Spaz has only scored more than 24 on the road once in three years.

Bonus question: How does it feel watching Tom O’Brien struggle at North Carolina State?

I make many jokes about O’Brien but at this point I really don’t care. If anything I am surprised. I didn’t think he would turn them into a power, but I thought he would have more success.

Be sure to check out Bill’s site during the run-up to the game this weekend, and give him a follow on Twitter at @bcatleagle.

Brent’s transfer makes sense for both sides

Justin Brent, Devin Butler
AP Photo/Joe Raymond

Justin Brent’s pending transfer makes sense on the surface if for no other reason than his complete lack of game action in the last two seasons. A slightly-deeper look, however, explains the move even further.

The rising senior running back had no logical path to playing time at Notre Dame given the performances of some of his peers. Both in the backfield and at receiver, younger players shined this past season while Brent rode the bench.

– It may have taken four games for rising junior Josh Adams to find the end zone, but he finished the season with 933 yards on 158 rushing attempts, carrying the ball at least eight times in all 12 games. Most notably, Adams finished the season with 350 yards and three rushing touchdowns over the last three weeks. That strong close shows Adams was not worn down in his second season of consistent use (2015: 13 games, 117 carries, 869 rushing yards, six touchdowns) and can be expected to provide the same bellwether output next season.

– Adams’s classmate, Dexter Williams, has not had the same success, but he did provide some relief throughout the season – most notably against Nevada (eight carries for 59 yards) and Syracuse (eight for 80 and a score) – on his way to 212 yards and three touchdowns on 39 carries.

Between Adams and Williams, combined with NFL-bound Tarean Folston’s steady output and quarterback DeShone Kizer’s mobility in the past and the possibility of Brandon Wimbush’s in the future, there were not carries for Brent to showcase his potential. This is before even factoring in rising sophomores Deon McIntosh and Tony Jones, both of whom preserved a year of eligibility in 2016, or any incoming recruits.

– Rising junior Equanimeous St. Brown proved worthy of learning to spell his first name in 2016, catching 58 passes for 961 yards and nine scores, but St. Brown looks to be far from alone in the receiving corps moving forward. Classmates C.J. Sanders and Miles Boykin each found the end zone this past season, despite competing with senior Torii Hunter, Jr., for both snaps and targets. Sanders finished with 24 receptions for 293 yards and two touchdowns while Boykin caught six passes for 81 yards and a score.

– Rising sophomores Kevin Stepherson, Chris Finke and Chase Claypool add to the depth at the position. Stepherson scored on an even 20 percent of his 25 receptions for 462 yards. On a personal note, he did not actually reach the end zone on his 53-yard catch-and-dash against Miami, but I will still never forget that particular play because the accompanying roar convinced my nine-year-old niece it was well past time to leave Notre Dame Stadium to watch the game on a television where the noise would not be so surprising.

Finke chipped in 10 catches for 122 yards and two scores, and Claypool caught five passes for 81 yards.

– Again, this listing does not account for players such as rising sophomore Javon McKinley who saw action in seven games but has not yet contributed to the passing game or any incoming recruits. (We’ll get to the recruits later in the week, and even more so next week when, you know, they have signed.)

It should also be noted: Brent enrolled early at Notre Dame, and thus, he has already completed six academic semesters, not to mention time spent in class each summer as is typical of most, if not all, of the football roster. If he does indeed graduate from the University this spring, he will be eligible to play elsewhere immediately thanks to the NCAA’s stance on graduate student transfers. More than that, though, he will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Admittedly, such a confluence is rare and certainly adds reasoning to Brent’s maneuver, whether it result in him playing at UCLA, Miami, Arizona State, Indiana, Purdue or Ohio State, as he indicated to the South Bend Tribune were his top choices. Notre Dame does face Miami on Nov. 11.

Lament Brent’s decision if you must, but it was a logical decision by him, and Notre Dame’s shortcomings last season were rarely where Brent would have aided. Nor will the Irish appear to be wanting in those spots in 2017.

Report: Justin Brent to transfer

Justin Brent twitter

Justin Brent has not seen the playing field since Notre Dame faced LSU in the Music City Bowl back in December of 2014. That now looks like it will be the last time Irish fans see him in a Notre Dame uniform, as well. Reports indicate the rising senior running back will transfer.

Irish 247’s Tom Loy broke the news, soon confirmed by Irish Illustrated’s Pete Sampson.

A consensus top-100 pick out of Indianapolis (Ind.) Speedway High School, Brent arrived in South Bend with high expectations, but will depart without an official statistic aside from snaps in nine games his freshman season. He recorded no catches, carries or tackles.

Thanks Keith, Now Dear Readers…

Dear “Inside the Irish” fans, “Inside the Irish” foes and, of course, my parents –
Dear curious purveyors, my stand-alone predecessor and Tim Raines –
Mostly, dear Notre Dame fans, Notre Dame spectators and college students enjoying any and all hallowed traditions –

Yes, unfortunately for you and fortunately for me, Keith tossed me the keys to this 1971 Volkswagen Beetle known as NBC Sports’ “Inside the Irish” blog. Don’t worry, I know how to drive stick shift.

If I were feeling corny, I would tell you I first reported on Notre Dame football in the fall of 1996, shouting out the garage window to my father as Allen Rossum returned Purdue’s opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown. If we are ignoring sentimental childhood stories, however, then it would be more accurate to call 2009’s home-opener against Colin Kaepernick’s Nevada my beginning on the beat.

Over the last few days I reached out to a few of you readers whom I know, asking why you enjoyed Keith Arnold’s coverage. So as to keep them honest, I neglected to tell them I would be stepping into this spotlight today.

Repeatedly, I heard buzz words such as readable, reasonable and realistic. Those will be my goals, as well. My predecessor at The Observer no longer dabbles in journalism, but I still trust his view on most things. His response strikes me as an admirable objective.

“We are smart, informed sports fans with an irrational passion for ND football, and appreciate writers who share those traits but are professional enough to step back from the irrationality and put things in perspective… We like a realistic take, not a knee-jerk reaction.”

On that note, you will not see me give a recruiting update with my every breath. You will also not see me dispense as much cinema advice as Keith did. I am simply not the film-nik he is, though I am listening to the “La La Land” soundtrack as I write this. You will find jazz increases your words per minute rate.

I will often speak of gambling terms, but not to encourage the vice. Rather, I find those odds to be a thought-provoking and informing means of evaluating things. Today, various books strongly expected President Trump’s inauguration speech to last longer than 15 minutes. Thus, I figured it would last longer than 15, but not by all that much since such was the over/under mark set. I could step away from the computer and watch it without losing too much of my day. It lasted 16:18.

I will try to be conversational, especially in these Friday letters/news-dumps/updates/recaps, should they become a recurring piece.

I intend to keep many, but not all, of Keith’s recurring features, as daunting as many of them seem. If I am to make this place my own, some will have to change. It’s okay, we’ll get through that together.

So ask questions, state your wonderings and pitch story ideas. This very format was a seed watered by one of you early this morning. Admittedly, prior to suggesting this he referred to me in terms I refuse to post publicly, but old drinking buddies have earned that right.

It’s late Friday afternoon. Grab a drink, and don’t you dare leave it unfinished.

– Douglas.

And in that corner… Introducing Douglas Farmer

It’s time to turn over the keys. On a day where our great nation makes a peaceful transition, so does our humble blog.

I’d love to say I was smart enough to time my departure for the same day as inauguration, but as they say, it’s better to be lucky than good. And I was lucky to get the gig, and happy to turn it over to someone who I believe is a better-than-good writer: Douglas Farmer.

Douglas was Editor-in-Chief of The Observer when he was a student at Notre Dame. He’s worked for old media—earning a byline at the Los Angeles Times and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He’s worked the ND beat, not just at the school paper, but at Blue & Gold. And now, I’m very happy to say, he’s taking over Inside the Irish, a transition that I think will go wonderfully.

To give you an idea of who Douglas is, I milked one last column gave him the And in this Corner treatment.

Hope you enjoy. And, one last request—Be Nice.

Douglas, you graduated from Notre Dame in 2012, and last covered the Irish on a day-to-day basis in the 2014 season. What has you excited to come back to the beat?

Douglas Farmer: Given Notre Dame’s past season, I would say I am most excited to take an in-depth look at how the Irish respond — and perhaps rebound — in 2017. It has been awhile (nearly a decade, more accurately) since Notre Dame has needed to do that, so it is one area of football there is not much institutional knowledge to rely upon.

Aside from that, the general engagement with a fan base so devotedly-interested in its topic is always something to look forward to. Even during a 4-8 season, that fan base does not waver in its curiosity and thirst for information.

A nice perk is also getting paid for the addiction that is Notre Dame Football, no?

DF: I prefer to subscribe to Hurricane Carter’s opinion on addictions: Do not be addicted to anything “they” can take away from you.

Well put. As I thought about the decision to move on, I came to the conclusion that there’s no perfect time to ever do so. That said, other than the head coach, this is as close to a reboot as you can ask for. Do these next few months get you excited, especially as an almost entirely new staff take charge?

DF: Just had to slip in a reference to removing the head coach, didn’t you?

Bouncing back from a rough season is the most appealing story line in sports, in anything really. Take a look at any movie you have ever watched (or, in your case, perhaps even been involved in). The hero experiences conflict just before redemption. Now, I am not saying Notre Dame is the hero. I am saying watching the team, the program, try to rebound has me very interested.

The staff turnover is an added wrinkle, and will only increase the work ahead for the program. Before the players can learn the plays, they have to learn the staff. Before that, the staff has to learn about each other.

So what’s the plan with the blog? You plan on getting to know the characters below the fold in the comments? Keep the A-to-Z series rolling? Do a better job proof-reading?

DF: I do not intend to outright abandon any institution or established series you have devoted years to. Thus, I would expect A-to-Z to continue in some form. But we will see. That is an easy thing to say when I have not yet reached the misery that must be “Q, R, S, …”

I would like to engage with the readers, but only so far as logic and rational conversation will allow. I have no interest in devolving to who knows what depths. Proof-reading, well, I want to say I will excel at that, but that just sets me up to eat a lot of crow when I miss a letter in April.

Smart. Will tell you about the A-to-Z… This roster is a front-loaded one, alphabetically, at least.

DF: All of high school I had a locker next to a Favre. (Not really related.) I understand the luxuries the alphabet can provide.

Let’s go rapid fire for a second: Favorite game you saw in person at Notre Dame?

DF: Either the 2012 Stanford game or the 2011 South Florida game. I realize how absurd that latter answer sounds, but that is part of why it stands the test of time. It was such a unique experience. Plus, being allowed to go back to the dorm for an hour at halftime made the whole day more entertaining.

Best road game experience?

DF: 2010 Army in Yankee Stadium jumps to the top of the heap, though I suppose technically not a road game. Go ahead and score against me for this, but I am a lifelong Yankees fan. That was a big one for me.

(KA note: The Observer must not have had the $$ to send the editor to Dublin…)

(DF note to KA’s note: I graduated in May 2012. The Observer did manage to send four staffers to Dublin the following September. Sometimes I wonder if I would not have been better off if I had taken two years to get through fifth grade.)

Favorite player to watch during your time as a student?

DF: Golden Tate could have walked around the football field as Maximus, for all I’m concerned, given how entertaining he often was. Though Lou Nix also holds a lofty place in my regard.
I lived a door down from Lou for two years, part of the reasoning there.

Favorite villain of the Irish from your time watching/following Notre Dame football?

DF: Pete Carroll runs away with the award. His candidacy is enhanced by my Wisconsin-bred Packer fandom.I do not like disliking Pete Carroll. I very much wish I could be indifferent toward him. The Falcons granted me that luxury for nine months.

Part of what has me excited about this transition is that I actually thought you’d be a good person to turn the keys over to, as I enjoyed reading your stuff when you were at The Observer and covering the Irish in your post-graduation years. What’s the most exciting part for you about taking over the blog? And what do you look forward to doing with it?

DF: I am most excited for the chance to write, and the chance to write about something on which I consider myself relatively knowledgeable. I look forward to seeing where the blog environment takes me. The open-ended aspect of it presents all sorts of possibilities.

Theoretically, I can be more freewheeling than elsewhere, get in-and-out quicker of some pieces, spend more time on others. I know Notre Dame fans of all varieties — the obsessed, the apathetic, pessimistic, optimistic, etc. — including some who have yet to decide how they feel about Tommy Rees. (Feel positively about him. It’s that simple.)

My sample size is certainly representative of the fan base as a whole. That wide swath is what makes covering Notre Dame enjoyable, and very well may provide the blog some direction and material on its own.

Oh, and I appreciate those kind words, Keith. I’ll Venmo you $20 later tonight.

Sliding a final question into my lightning round. What’s your handle on NDNation? (Kidding!)

DF: I will take my right to not incriminate myself, otherwise known as the Fifth.

Atrion: Beyond the network, it’s all about applications

Heather Clancy Heather Clancy Profile: Heather Clancy

What the heck does a network integrator intend to do with a interactive multimedia company?

That was my first reaction when I heard the news that network integrator and managed service provider Atrion Networking (based in Warwick, R.I., and a company I know well), is buying Shazamm (a company I’ve never heard of—but one that is apparently an Atrion neighbor in Providence, R.I.) I have no idea what Atrion paid, but after thinking about the whole situation for a few minutes late tonight and checking out the Shazamm Web site, I think I do know what Atrion is after: Shazamm’s digital signage management and distribution application called Z-One and a Web asset management system called Z-Media.

As networking companies like Cisco will tell you, the best way to inspire new infrastructure sales in today’s world is by providing a business imperative to do so through some sort of industry application. This is the whole idea behind its Industry Solutions Partner Network, which encourages partners to hook up with application developers. I should disclose that I work with Cisco’s ISPN in a communications advisory capacity, but I was writing about the idea of wedding industry applications to networking more than five years ago. I’ve believed in this a long time.

I’m not any kind of rocket scientist, but this just makes sense when you look at the PBX world. As annoying as voicemail might be, it’s an application most of us can’t live without. Who would dream of buying PBX or telephone hardware without it? So, why wouldn’t you expect certain applications to develop a similar status on networks?

Shazamm’s applications, in this case, could apply to a company’s internal communications needs (think lobby signs or surveillance) or customer-facing uses, such as in a retail environment or public transportation hub. Right away, Atrion will look at potential solutions for the technology among its roughly 490 customers.

This is a case where thinking out-of-the-box REALLY could be said to be thinking beyond-the-box.

Buster reporting: it IS about the money, stupid

Just saw on Mike & Mike on ESPN2: Buster Olney reported that the Sabathia deal is for SEVEN years and $160 million, or $22.857 million per year.

Um, wow. Just wow. Thankfully he's just 28 now because by 35 (or sooner) and some 20 extra pounds, this might be really ugly. Go ahead, Sox fans, rip the guy apart. But look me in the eye and tell me if you would be doing the same ripping if he were coming to Boston. It's only natural. Besides, it's only money.

Loyal reader TadtheBad used the right word: rationalizing. All NYY fans are rationalizing this deal this morning. And anti-Yanks "fans" are doing the same on the other side of the fence.

Ken Rosenthal confirms Buster's report:

Free-agent left-hander CC Sabathia has reached agreement with the Yankees on a seven-year contract worth approximately $160 million, according to a major-league source.

UPDATE (12pm 12/10/08): Update on Sabathia's fine print
The deal, according to a source close to negotiations, gives Sabathia the right to opt out of the contract after the first three years, by which time he will have been paid $69 million. Sabathia appreciated the clause because it satisfied concerns he had about living in New York and the impact it might have on his wife and three children.

He will make his opt-out decision after the 2011 season with four years and $92 million remaining on the deal, at which time he could renegotiate, leave or stay.

tadthebad said...

I love this deal! Seriously, I love it. Seven years (!60 million!!!) for a pitcher, albeit a very good one, tipping the truck scales at 300 lbs+. Oh, a smile has come to my face. So many land mines in the future...

I'd love to rattle off some of the "negatives" for CC, but since it's based on memory, and I have no data in-hand to support any of these claims, I'll shut-up now.

Jason @ IIATMS said...

Tad, I can't disagree with you one iota.

My only hope is that he's only 28, young enough to handle the weight for a while.

Of course, Sox fans will rip Sabathia endlessly, though, if you guys got him, you'd be cheering. I get it. We'd do the same damn thing.

tadthebad said...

Correct. Or, at the very least, we'd be rationalizing the deal as the first step towards accepting the deal and embracing CC.

Memory tells me that the Sox have handled CC well, but, again, memory. Logic tells me that Teixeira will be a Red Sox.

Jason @ IIATMS said...

Tad, if I can fight thru the rubble this AM, I will find CC's stats against the Sox and Rays. If memory serves, his ERA against the AL East is about 2.5, but I need to confirm that.

Mark said...

I'm not going to rip CC; he's a very good pitcher. But he was never a guy who scared me. Maybe he's just quietly very good, like Mussina.

Good for the Yankees. Of course, course, pitching is not what they needed this winter, and now that the first big FA has signed, hopefully the Sox can sign Tex.

Jason @ IIATMS said...

The Yanks sorely needed pitching.

And yes, I look forward to the Sox rationalizing the spending of more money/years on teix as the best signing ever. You know, because only the Yanks overspend.

People come to Boston not for the money; people come to NY only for the money.... I can't wait to read it all.

Sorry, I just came off reading too many Boston-based msg boards and stuff.

Mark said...

I'll clarify my comments to say pitching isn't the area where they should have been rolling out the money truck. Their first priority should be their offense, which is getting very old and dropped more than a run per game last year from 2007.

紀要論文 生活支援技術教育の検討－学修プロセスが可視化できるワークシートの開発－
Study on Education of Care Skills ―Development of a worksheet that can visualize learning process―
セイカツ　シエン　ギジュツ　キョウイク　ノ　ケントウ　ガクシュウ　プロセス　ガ　カシカ　デキル　ワークシート　ノ　カイハツ

武田, 啓子  ,  高木, 直美  ,  Keiko, Takeda  ,  Naomi, Takagi

This study aims to examine education method of care skill. Firstly, we carried out a questionnaire survey on the items of care skills among students who have completed stipulated training to become care workers. We calculated the percentage of students who fulfil the required degree of acquirement in care skills and that of students who have experience in such skills. The analysis included 100 students. The degree of acquirement was 6.2～98.0％, and the acquirement rate was 70％ or more for 19 items （29.2％） in level Ⅰ and Ⅱ. For items wherein students had a low rate of experience, they also demonstrated a lower degree of acquirement. In the items of care skills except "care of the housework", an arrival rate became more than 80％ and experience rate more than 50％. Furthermore, we made a worksheet to examine degree of acquirement. These results suggested the necessity raise an acquirement rate of care skills by raise an experience rate and do learning care assessment.

AC Cars

As if there weren’t already enough AC Cobra restorations and copy-jobs running around the universe, AC Cars is planning to produce nine new, factory-original cars in their original 1962 specification, for around $670,000 each.

According to Autocar, the new cars will be built by AC Heritage using a majority of the original factory plans and and tooling. The left-hand drive, V8 aluminum convertibles are to be christened the AC Cobra Mk1 260 Legacy Edition.

It’s a good time for AC Cars to visit its past, too, as the very first AC Cobra just sold at auction for almost $13.75 million.

From Autocar:

The legacy-edition cars, all of which will be left-hand drive, will use traditional materials and crafting techniques and will be built on original tooling. They will come in just two colours: the original factory blue or the re-paint yellow subsequently used in the US to fool road testers and buyers into thinking more than one car had been made.

The new cars will use freshly fabricated but dimensionally exact versions of the original John Tojiero-designed Ace twin-tube chassis, complete with a transverse-leaf independent front suspension and a live rear axle.

The cars are planned to go into production in batches of three, set to begin by the end of the year.

“We’re passionate about building the legacy cars exactly to the original specification,” said Alan Lubinsky, who bought AC Cars 20 years ago. “We’ve even managed to find a source of brand-new 260-cubic-inch V8s for this project — and I can assure you that wasn’t easy.”

This weekend, Roger and I hit the NJ Rock Gym to test our mettle against their obstacles.  I can't say that the rock wall won, but we'll just call it a draw since it wasn't fighting back.

That's not an actual picture of us since we weren't smart enough to take a camera.  I stole it from their website to show you how cool the gym is.  Overall, I don't think I'm suffering too badly...I can still type after all.

I think rock climbing is a cool sport so I'm excited to try it out more.  It's certainly encouraging me to lose any extra weight.  That's pretty much all you think about as you feel your grip slipping.  That and the fact that Roger really had to struggle to put me back on the ground.  I think I have a diaper rash from his initial education of how to lower a heavy person.  I would plummet one foot then come to a full stop, bouncing ever slightly up then plummeting another full foot to yet another stop.  I don't even want to see what the bruises look like.

It Might Get Loud - Jayson's Weblog

My lovely wife treated me to a surprise movie called It Might Get Loud.

It Might Get Loud movie
For those of you who don't know, I've become a teensy bit obsessed with the guitar.  It pains me to say it, cause I still really suck, but I have practiced about twice daily every day since February.  Özlem can attest that she heard scales every day :) mixed in with occasional burst of chord progressions so everyone else doesn't go crazy.

I could just happily listen to myself doing scales all day.

Tülay graciously found this movie on our movie night and we went out to the the Sunshine to see it.  The movie tracks three guitarists Jack  White, The Edge, and Jimmy Page to a meeting where they discuss the guitar.  The only guitarist I knew was Jimmy Page, but I still couldn't recognize him on the screen until they said who he was.  Anyway, the whole movie, I was transfixed!  I'm such a music geek now.  I wish they would have gotten into some technical details, but they movie was targetted at a broad audience so I had to be satisfied with some allusions to how The Edge made the E chord more pure by "taking away notes".  (I tried it at home by just playing the root and fifths and it sounds pretty much like his music)

Three GuitaristsTülay and I compared notes after the movie and our biggest surprise was a huge increase in respect for Jack White of the White Stripes.  I knew and loved their music, but that guy is cool!  He plays on trashed out guitars just to prove that music can be made on anything, it's the artist that matters.

I'm no artist, I just rake my fingers clumsily across the fretboard for my own entertainment but I hope to get better so that more than just Drake will dance to the music.  He's my best audience.  But then again, he dances when I beat an empty plastic bottle, too. :-/

As you can see, we didn't cut a single hair on his head until he turned 1 (or 12 months as many parents like to say).

Adonis Drake.jpgSo while we were visiting Turkey for his birthday we went to have it chopped off.  The poor little guy was also suffering from the heat so we thought it would help.

Uncle İlker was happy to hold the little guy while Barış distracted him from what was really happening.

And revealing the New Drake!

Why is he giving us such attitude?  Maybe because that chair is the only place he would stand.  He hated walking on the sand and just tolerated the water as long as we held him.  But at least he has a sharp haircut.

I know, I haven't posted in a while...and now here is a post without even a picture!  (I promise to put up a picture, Mom, perhaps even a video.)

I have quite a few things to write about, but not enough time right now.  I fixed comments again on the site here.  Since I host this machine out of my home, I spent a lot of time making sure it was secure.  Part of that security is that I need to individually allow each program to run.  It works, I guess.  According to the logs, I haven't really even had any serious hack attempts.

P.S. If anyone does actually hack this box, please send me an email with the hole.

P.P.S. No Rogers are allowed to hack this box.  Your kung-fu is too weak and you may break a nail.
Tülay calls him the "billy goat" now.  For some reason he climbs everything.  I snapped this shot yesterday, he wasn't at his maximum height that he can attain on the chair, but he was doing pretty well.  He also climbs up the stroller that you can see behind him and he has mastered the ability to get on the couch.

Billy Goat blues

The couch used to be our safe place for our remote control.  Now it can usually be found damp from slobber in some hard to reach nook...next to the phone.  No, he's not walking yet.  Somehow he does this Rockette kick with his left leg and anything that his heel lands on top of he can climb.
