Ezra’s search for his parents comes to a heart-wrenching end in the final Star Wars Rebels episode of 2015. Unlike the Force sensitive children who were reunited with their loved ones in the previous episode (“The Future of the Force”), “Legacy” took a different turn for Ezra, who finally discovered the truth about his parents’ fate. While some found the episode to be underwhelming, I was moved by the reveal, and although the loss didn’t play out as intensely as Kanan losing Depa Billaba during Order 66, Anakin seeing his tortured mother die in his arms, Leia being forced to watch the destruction of her planet, or Luke witnessing Vader strike down Obi-Wan Kenobi, the emotional impact was just as profound.
As an audience, we were hoping and praying that Ezra’s parents would somehow turn up down the line, that Ezra would have the opportunity to make up for lost time, and that his parents would somehow continue to contribute to the rebel cause. However, Ezra is on a hero’s journey, and every hero experiences some sort of ordeal that will make or break them. Throughout the episode, he was tested emotionally, walking a fine line between light and dark. We saw Ezra’s great potential to let anger and fear consume him, but we also saw great maturity and awareness. And that’s what makes Ezra so fascinating to me as a character because he has so much potential, and as he continues to walk that fine line, we have absolutely no idea where his path will take him and where it will end.
What I found to be brilliant in terms of what the writers did in this episode (and what made it all the more depressing) was how they handled the situation regarding Ezra’s parents. The fact that they were alive all throughout the first season and the first half of the second season and were inspired by Ezra’s speech to rise up broke my heart, but not in a disappointed kind of way. That may have been obvious from the start, but this episode really put it into perspective. They were alive up until the very moment Ezra had that vision at night while he was sleeping! They were right there within reach, and just like that, they vanished. And just like Luminara Unduli was in an Imperial holding cell when she saw her executioner, Ezra saw the same thing with his parents. And what made it more powerful to me was the fact that he had sensed them through the Force. He didn’t see them die, like Anakin saw his mom’s life extinguish in front of him, but the reality of the situation was confirmed to him through the ripples in the Force. It’s that sort of heart sinking moment when you realize that your loved ones are in another plain of existence and that you’re never going to see them again. In my opinion, that’s great writing. Not only did it tug at the heartstrings of the hero, but most viewers identified with or had sympathy for him.
Now, the question is who killed Ezra’s parents? The fact that Luminara’s last breathing moments mirror those of Ezra’s parents is no coincidence. We know the Grand Inquisitor ended Luminara’s life, but who pulled the trigger when it came to his parents? There’s speculation going around that Ryder Azadi wasn’t telling the whole truth. Is he another Gall Trayvis? I don’t get that impression, but I also tend to be very gullible. Will these details resurface and drive Ezra away from where he’s meant to be? For the time being, the memory of his parents is guiding him, but it will be interesting to see how the scales may tip as he faces more hurtles in the second half of the second season.
The episode, whether you liked it or not, answered a burning question and paved the way for Ezra to move forward. It reminded us that the galaxy can be an unfair and dangerous place, dangling our hopes and dreams right in front of our faces and snatching them away in the cruelest of ways. But, not every corner of the galaxy is out to make lives miserable. There are sweet and heartfelt moments, like those projected through the Force, that give us the strength (and renewed hope) to move on. And because of that, I think this episode–in the time that they were allotted–accomplished the same kind of lessons and heartache that we’ve seen play out previously in the Star Wars story.
I am really going to miss Garel. I love the purple lighting of the planet and how great the city looks. I can only hope the new places the rebels may find themselves are equally pretty, even if it’s not a cityscape.
While Ezra is having his vision, we see a shot of Mira and Ephraim Bridger together much like how we saw Luminara in the episode “Rise of the Old Masters”. And while we had a holo of her looking at whoever had entered the room, in Ezra’s parents’ case, we get a shadow before a close-up of them looking up at whoever is in the room with them. During these two shots, there is a soft and fading breath sound (that sounds individually unique when compared to the other air-like sounds that occur during the vision) that has made me wonder if it’s hinting towards Vader having been the one in the room. Going back to Luminara, I have also wondered if Ezra’s seeing a moment in time that took place just before his parents were executed. Due to Ryder not being there to see it first hand, the pair could have been captured again before they were ultimately killed.
The music in this episode, especially what plays when Ezra’s on screen is all so beautiful.
I had been worried since season one about how they were going to handle Hera and potentially Kanan knowing about Ezra’s parents without it seeming like they were jerks for not saying anything sooner. The way it was handled was very smooth and well done, in my opinion.
I adore how the Seventh Sister talks and sounds. She’s such an awesome character and I only want to see more of her. Or I do, up until she potentially maims or kills someone I really like.
It’s great seeing Ezra’s ever growing abilities. I’m excited to see where he will be at the end of the season.
Zeb and Chopper being called delinquents by Sabine is one of the best things.
The battle scenes are only getting stronger as the series goes on, and the shootout was a fantastic example of that. It also was a great time for the show to highlight more of Ezra’s growth and comfort in using the Force.
The facial animation that plays out while Kanan is talking to Ezra after he’s blasted the door shut is beautiful.
Kanan saying it’s too late for him in terms of his parents makes me wish that maybe down the line we did see someone who either could be or outright acknowledged as being one of his parents or a sibling.
Chopper’s grumbling is always great.
The fangirl in me is always happy to see more Rex. The other less fun, cynical part of me feels like we’re getting so much of him because he’s going to die at some point. Up until that hypothetical moment, though, I am going to enjoy every second of it.
Chopper waving bye to the Ghost is super cute.
I love the rock formations seen on Lothal.
While I hadn’t wanted Ezra’s parents to be dead necessarily, hearing that they had died comes as no surprise to me, since the inclusion of parents–especially in Ezra’s current situation–would probably entail more drama and talk spread out across other characters than is really wanted for this series. Saying that, I was surprised by hearing of how long they had been alive. Knowing that they had been alive all that time only to ultimately die due to the hope they’d been given at hearing Ezra’s message breaks my heart completely.
Again, the music is stunning, and I love the blue lighting for the final scenes of this episode.
Seeing how Lothal’s Capital City looks in Ezra’s mind was a surprise. I’m curious to know if this is how he felt the city was before the Empire’s arrival, so it’s more built up, glowing, and ethereal than what it was in reality, or if the Empire really did come in and pretty much tear down what had once been a beautiful city.
I really love the last scenes and lines of dialogue in this episode. For as sad as it was, and for how much worse it could have been, it ended on a positive note that speaks of good things for the future.
I am curious how this will affect Ezra in the long run, though. Specifically, if the acceptance he’s displaying is a by-product of shock or if it’s something he truly feels. Only time will tell, and I’m looking forward to every moment of it.
Star Wars Rebels returns in January 2016 on Disney XD.
I forgot to mention that I found the ending really beautiful.
Also, the way FPJr said “Always” to Ezra. That always got me. It’s not overly mellow, it’s not overly dramatic, it’s just… full of warmth and care.
I totally get what you mean! The ending was simply beautiful. Definitely a favorite episode of mine, despite being full of sadness!
Okay, now that I have confessed, there is one important thing I don’t see reviewers highlight: Things are happening off-screen. This episode actually reminds us of that, although subtly.
For example: (1) In “The Clones Return” 2-episode arc, we get a list of places for the next Rebel base. This episode implicitly said that the Phoenix Squadron had been sending away teams to survey the potential locations. Probably during those missions where Hera was off-screen. (2) The spaceparents’ effort to locate Ezra’s parents. How they had to pull in favors with smugglers, pirates, and even Senator Organa. And how Commander Sato was even participating by contacting someone (a spy?) in the Core Worlds. (3) Agent Kallus’ effort to verify existence of the Rebels on Garel. (4) Of course, the massive jailbreak. And all the preparations that The Bridgers did to carry that out.
So, the fact that things *are* happening out of sight, that should shut up the naysayers who felt that the series was “slowing down” in Season 2. It’s not. It’s actually piling up all the gunpowder for a remarkable, unforgettable second half.
Yes! A lot of things happened off-screen, and although we don’t get to see them, there is very much an active and vast galaxy outside of our immediate group of protagonists. One of my favorite lines from the novel Lost Stars is when the main character hears Han Solo’s name and says, “Who the hell is Han Solo?” It’s believable because not everyone will know who this person is or would have had the opportunity to interact with that person. A lot of things are happening in the background that may never intersect and I love that!

The validity of the modification factor specified in the ACI 318-11 shear provision for concrete members to account for the reduced frictional properties along crack interfaces is examined using a comprehensive database comprised of 1716 normalweight concrete (NWC) beam specimens, 73 all-lightweight concrete (ALWC) beam specimens, and 54 sand-lightweight concrete (SLWC) beam specimens without shear reinforcement. Comparisons of measured and predicted shear capacities of concrete beams in the database show that ACI 318-11 provisions for shear-transfer capacity of concrete are less conservative for lightweight concrete (LWC) beams than NWC beams. A rational approach based on the upper-bound theorem of concrete plasticity has been developed to assess the reduced aggregate interlock along the crack interfaces and predict the shear-transfer capacity of concrete. A simplified model for the modification factor is then proposed as a function of the compressive strength and dry density of concrete and maximum aggregate size on the basis of analytical parametric studies on the ratios of shear-transfer capacity of LWC to that of the companion NWC. The proposed modification factor decreases with the decrease in the dry density of concrete, gives closer predictions to experimental results than does the ACI 318-11 shear provision and, overall, improves the safety of shear capacity of LWC beams.

For 1963, Chrysler dropped the convertible letter series version, leaving the new 300 J hardtop (there was no 300 I - perhaps they felt the "I" would be confused with "1"). The standard engine offered was the 413 cid wedge head V8 with "short" long rams which was now rated at 390 bhp. The “short” rams were divided internally only halfway which raised the torque peak from the 2800 rpm peak in the 1960-61 style fully divided long rams to 3600 rpm. This change provided spectacular high rpm performance in the 300 J. Also, the suspension was softened very slightly from 300 H specs, but was still substantially stiffer than other Chryslers. The 300 J was available in five colors: Formal Black, Alabaster, Madison Grey, Oyster White, and Claret. Two pinstripes (in a contrasting color) ran the length of the body and 300 J medallions were placed on the C-pillar and the rear deck. The interior featured a square steering wheel that many drivers found uncomfortable but allowed an unobstructed view of the instrument cluster. The seats were finished in luxurious claret red leather regardless of exterior color choice. The exterior even featured unique windshield wiper blades with airfoils designed to press the blade against the windshield at high speeds, important because the 300 J could reach 140 mph or more.
300J SERIES - (V-8) Available in two-door hardtop form only, the 300J continued Chrysler's image of providing the motoring public with a high-performance luxury automobile so synonymous with previous 300s. Leather interiors were standard and special 'J' medallions distinguished this car from the more common Sports Series 300s. Heavy-duty torsion bars, shocks and springs, plus Ram Induction manifolds were the main backbone of the 300 Js image.
300J SERIES I.D. NUMBERS: Serial Numbers were located as on previous series. Serial Numbers began with 8433-100001 and up. Engine prefix was C300J and then a month, day, year code (e.g. 11-10-62 - denoted November 10, 1962 build date).
300J SERIES ENGINE V-8. Overhead valves. Cast iron block. Displacement: 413.8 cubic inches. Bore and stroke: 4.188 x 3.75 inches. Compression ratio: 9.6:1. Brake horsepower: 390 at 4800 R.P.M. Five main bearings. Solid valve lifters. Carburetor: Two (2) Carter Type AFB four-barrels Model 3505S.
CHASSIS FEATURES: Wheelbase: 122 inches. Overall length: (300 Sport Series) 215.3 inches; (300 J) 215.5 inches. Front tread: 61.3 inches. Rear tread: 59.7 inches. Tires: (300 Sport Series) 8.00 x 14; (300 J) 7.60 x 15.
POWERTRAIN OPTIONS: Three-speed manual transmission with floor shift was standard on Sport 300. TorqueFlite automatic transmission on Sport 300 ($227). Automatic transmission was standard on 300 J.

Here's another interesting limited production car commonly called the Pacesetter. It is also referred to as Pace Car. In 1963, Chrysler was again chosen to provide a pace car for the Indy 500, and instead of using the more appropriate 300J, they opted to send out a regular 300 convertible, probably so the crowd could see who the driver was. (Sam Hanks, Indy winner from 1957) Somebody with a chain saw was seen lurking near a 300J, but he was quickly apprehended and sent to work for GM.
The 1861 pace cars were garden variety 300 convertibles equipped out of the box with a 305 horsepower 383 2 barrel engine, with either a 3 speed manual or the venerable Torqueflite. There were also 306 hardtops produced, but nobody seems to get too excited about them, just the ragtops. 1860 of the converts were Holiday Turquoise, (also referred to as Pace Car Blue) and one was black. All had white tops and interiors. They had a special Indy 500 emblem, and that was about it. The wheel covers look to be from the New Yorker, while the actual car used at Indy on race day had 15 inch wheels and 300J wheel covers. The usual list of options was available, including some very snappy 413 engines. For all genuine pace cars, the serial number on the VIN tag has to start with 80.
The pace cars cost $4129.00, and weighed 3840 lbs. That's about $1.08 per pound, which was roughly what steak cost back in 1963.

Arxell manufacture the world's fastest drying system. Quite a claim, and one that secured the brand an innovation award in 2016.
Originally called Dry Cell, our brief involved completely overhauling the brand identity, including an entirely new brand name and visual identity. The previous name, Dry Cell, created an issue for the business as it had connotations with battery technology. You only have to type Dry Cell into Google for several listings to pop up relating to battery technology. And have you ever wondered how Duracell came up with their brand name? This was a big problem for a business trying to make a name for itself in the commercial drying industry.
After spending some time with the executive team and their marketing consultant, we set to work developing a new brand name for the business. This process took around two weeks, starting with an initial mind map exercise to generate an abundance of relevant keywords and industry related terms. The mind map yielded approximately five hundred or so keywords and phrases, which we whittled down to around one hundred before experimenting with brand name options, based on predefined criteria. The resultant brand name had to be checked against existing trademarks and we also had to ensure that the domain www.arxell.com was available, given the plans to expand internationally in the future. Fortunately, the brand name ticked all the boxes and it is now a registered trademark, providing peace of mind for the executive team.
Having settled on the brand name, we set about developing concepts for the visual identity. Several concepts were produced, with the key objective being to portray the product in the design of the logo somehow. The subsequent logo for Arxell was a play on the side profile of the drying unit, with gaps in the outer border representing airflow through the system. We also designed the logo to work responsively, providing the client with three versions to use dependant on its application. A comprehensive set of brand guidelines were produced to ensure consistency across all mediums. These were instrumental in making sure that the website was on brand and in keeping with the overall look and feel trying to be conveyed.
Since going live with the rebrand, Arxell have gained much traction, meeting with some of the biggest names in the commercial drying industry to offer their system as a less costly, faster solution for drying flood damaged buildings.

UPDATE 12.09.2018: On 12 September, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation upheld the verdict delivered by the Moscow City Court to Ukrinform journalist Roman Sushchenko, who was sentenced to 12 years in a high-security prison.
The European and International Federations of Journalists (EFJ-IFJ) have urged the Russian authorities to release a Ukrainian journalist given a 12-year sentence for alleged espionage.
Roman Sushchenko was sentenced to 12 years in a high-security prison on 4 June 2018, after he was found guilty of spying by a Moscow court.
The EFJ-IFJ joined its affiliates the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU) and the Independent Media Trade Union of Ukraine (IMTUU) in condemning the harsh verdict and in urging Russian authorities to release Sushchenko until thorough evidence of the allegations against him has been presented.
Sushchenko, a Paris-based correspondent for Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform, was detained on holiday in Moscow on 30 September, 2016. The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation accused him of serving in the Ukrainian military intelligence and gathering state secrets.
Moscow City Court sentenced the journalist to twelve years in a high-security prison on 4 June after a verdict delivered by Judge Oleg Muzychenko. Sushchenko has maintained his innocence since being arrested and will appeal against the court’s decision, labelled as “unjust” by the journalist, who claims there is a lack of evidence.

Second grader James Haas, left, and 3rd grader Connor Zurawa build a structure from marshmallows and toothpicks during a STEM activity at the SHINE after-school program at Lawrence B. Morris Elementary School in Jim Thorpe, Pa. The federal program that gives SHINE most of its funding is on the list of those that would be scrapped under the Trump administration’s budget proposal.
Four days a week, hundreds of children in eastern Pennsylvania get free tutoring, a hot meal, and even the chance to help build a doghouse, thanks to a federal grant for after-school and summer learning programs. Some of their parents get access to English-as-a-second-language and GED classes.
But President Donald Trump’s proposed budget for fiscal 2018 seeks to slash the roughly $1.1 billion 21st Century Community Learning Center program that provides the bulk of the funding for the program and thousands of others like it. Mick Mulvaney, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget has argued that the program doesn’t have much of an effect on student achievement.
But some advocates and educators beg to differ.
The program, which has been around since the 1990s, distributes money by formula to states to cover the cost of after-school and summer programs, primarily for children in high-poverty communities. The U.S. Department of Education has funded about 9,600 centers through the program and served 1.6 million children, according to the Afterschool Alliance, an advocacy organization in Washington.
Second graders Sarah Puddu, left, and Cristalee Valdez create a stop-motion movie with modeling clay and a computer during a SHINE after-school program at the Lawrence B. Morris Elementary School in Jim Thorpe, Pa. President Donald Trump’s proposed budget would eliminate the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, from which SHINE receives 82 percent of its funding.
Like SHINE, these after-school and summer programs can offer students a range of services, including tutoring, meals, and enrichment, much of it with the help of federal funds.
For instance, a trio of after-school and summer programs in Cranston, R.I., that receive almost 100 percent of their funding from the 21st Century Community Learning Center program, has a science, technology, engineering, and math focus. Students might help design a greenhouse or build a solar panel from scratch. Older students add a service-learning component, working on neighborhood beautification, for example. Now, the students want to write letters to lawmakers, asking them to preserve 21st Century Community Learning Centers funding, said Ayana Crichton, the program director.
“It’s devastating to them to see the program get cut,” Crichton said. “How come we can’t just talk to the president and tell him” not to cut the funding? she asked.
Some districts also get funding from the program, including the Kennett school system in southeastern Missouri, which receives a $400,000 grant. The district offers students an hour of tutoring in the morning and another hour in the afternoon, plus enrichment. Students are given a hot dinner and transportation home.
Mulvaney was asked specifically about the program during a March 16 press briefing. He said that there isn’t evidence that after-school programs do anything to improve student achievement.
Second grader Frank Pranzo builds a pyramid from plastic cups as part of a SHINE activity.
But Heather Weiss, a co-director of the Global Family Research Project, doesn’t see it that way.
“There is a great deal of evidence from rigorous evaluations showing that after-school programs promote a range of important developmental, learning, and educational outcomes for kids,” she said.
She noted that those outcomes include gains in reading and math achievement, school attendance, in socio-emotional development and skills, and in health and wellness.
But Mark Dynarski, who helped conduct evaluations of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program in the early 2000s as a researcher for Mathematica Policy Research, doesn’t think it has done much to improve student achievement.
“The program didn’t affect student outcomes,” Dynarski, now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, wrote in a March 2015 blog post. “Except for student behavior, which got worse.” He referred to reports on the program released in 2003 and 2005.
Weiss, however, said those reports were conducted years ago and offer only a snapshot of the program in its early stages. After-school programs, including those that receive 21st Century Community Learning Center funds, have gotten a lot more sophisticated since then, she said.
They’ve been “focusing on quality improvement and using their own and others’ evaluations and data to ensure quality and get bigger and sustainable impact,” Weiss wrote in an email.
It’s tough to say if lawmakers will go along with the proposed cut, which would affect the budget year that begins Oct. 1.
Congress had actually considered getting rid of the language in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act that authorizes the 21st Community Learning Center program when it crafted the Every Student Succeeds Act in 2015.

drunk-driving accidents was 1,393—nearly four fatalities every day of the year.
The risk of a driver under the influence of alcohol being killed in a vehicle accident is at least eleven times that of drivers without alcohol in their system.
For most people, these are only statistics—shocking, perhaps, but only statistics. But for the families and friends of those who die as a result of teenage drinking and driving, each number represents a tragic loss.
Alcohol distorts a person’s perceptions and judgment. People under the influence of alcohol readily admit their reaction time is slower than when not drinking, and they take many chances they would never take when sober. Too often those chances are fatal.

Former Atletico Madrid defender Tomas Ujfalusi has warned David de Gea that he risks alienating fans of his former club if he moves to inter-city rivals Real Madrid this summer.
The Spanish goalkeeper started his career with Atletico, before moving to Manchester United in 2011 for a reported £18.9m ($29.4m). After a tough start to his career at Old Trafford, he is now considered one of the top goalkeepers in the world, which has attracted interest from the 10-times European champions.
Real Madrid are keen on signing the goalkeeper this summer, with the club increasingly confident of landing De Gea, who according to the Daily Mail, has already told friends that he wants a return to Spain ahead of next season.
However, United are holding out for a record transfer fee from the La Liga club for their number one stopper, who has just a year remaining on his current deal.
Ujfalusi was De Gea's teammate at Atletico during their 2011 Europa League winning campaign and has warned him against joining their bitter rivals.
"No, no, no. They are not going to forgive him [if De Gea joins Real Madrid], for sure," Ujfalusi said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
"It's not going to be easy for him to make this decision. It's also a surprise for me because he's an Atletico Madrid fan – when he was young his heart was with Atletico Madrid," the now retired defender added.
The former Galatasaray defender feels that the Spanish international stopper is the best in the Premier League at the moment, but admitted that it was difficult to compare him to Petr Cech, who has proved himself during his just concluded 11-year stay at Chelsea.
"I have to say De Gea [is superior to Cech and Courtois]," the former Czech Republic international said.
"I was working with him for more than two years, and he was playing really well."
"It's difficult to say, but Petr Cech is 10 years older than De Gea and Courtois."
"The beginning in Manchester United wasn't so easy for him, but I think now he's back in his old form and playing very well," the 37-year-old defender explained.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - I always love flying on Singapore Airlines Business Class whenever I travel overseas as I believe that some things are worth paying for in return for high quality customer service, comfort and food. I like feeling refreshed when I arrive at my destination so a good comfortable flight is of utmost importance to me. For those of you who know me well, I have always maintained a close bond with my sister Lora Christelle Lim despite the fact that she has moved to Sydney in order to be with her husband Christopher who works as a Doctor there. This year, my birthday celebration is very special as I get to celebrate with my dearest sister, her hubby Christopher and their cute little Baby Caspian whom I adore very much!
This is one of Sydney's most popular cafe as the atmosphere is one of a kind! It is a place always bustling with big crowds and lots of activities even on weekdays. Upon arriving at Sydney International Airport, my sister Lora and her hubby Christopher picked me up and we headed to this cafe to have brunch as well as shop at The Grounds Markets. This cafe which is located nearby the Sydney Airport spans across a large area with different dining options such as The Potting Shed, The Cafe, The Garden or The Roastery. When I first arrived at this place, I was in awe at the beauty of the lush greenery and beautiful potted plants hanging all around the dining areas. We enjoyed trying the different food such as gourmet handmade pizzas, BBQ king prawns, nutella donuts etc. The coffee was freshly brewed to perfection as well! We had a wonderful time with the farm animals too! Their farm animals include a rooster, pig, sheep, goat etc. Definitely a highly recommended place and cafe to check out if you are visiting Sydney and I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed!
KOI Dessert Bar @ RYDE, Sydney - newly opened!
Special thanks to Jo who got me flowers for my birthday!
This Sydney trip I spent lots of precious time with baby Caspian!
Time to go back home to Singapore after 2 weeks in Sydney!

I’m more afraid of being ashamed before God and His Holy Angels than I am of being “unfriended” or snubbed by those who don’t want to hear about Him. To put it another way, I’d rather be “unfriended” by a human being than by Jesus. Not that Jesus would ever abandon us (or unfriend us 😀 ) but to be embarrassed or ashamed before God is just unthinkable.
Why does it makes some people so angry when they see or hear anything about God, Jesus, Holy Spirit or Christianity? Are they scared of the gospel? Are they born again Christians who have strayed, are they unsaved? Who are these people? Whoever they are, they definitely need Christ. And deep down, they know it. And we know it too. That’s why we need to share our faith as often as we can with as many people as possible. We can at least plant a seed, maybe somone else will water it and yet another can harvest a soul for The Kingdom.
We should do everything we can to bring every person in to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and save them from unquenchable fires of hell.

This week we’re joined by Craig Weiss , the CEO of E-Learning 24/7. At E-Learning 24/7, Craig acts as an eLearning analyst, advisor and consultant for buyers and suppliers alike. Where LMS vendors are falling behind the trends. One vendor, that’s it!
And thus, comes the State of the E-Learning industry as rumble forward with 2019. Higher number of L&D folks finally seeing the value of personal and professional development thru the use of e-learning, especially with LMSs and LEP/LXPs. Change of messaging, and the seemingly misunderstanding by vendors that there is a difference between training and L&D. CMI-5 increased interest among vendors, even more so, than on/off synch mobile apps for example.
Well, sort of for authoring tools. I track 1,225 systems around the world. . Some vendors have multiple systems, but generally speaking it is usually one to one, i.e. one vendor and one system. Open source systems are included, but not “customized shops or botique firms from customized Moodle per se that you pay” In the 2017 report, the number of vendors explored was 1,000. Vendors are from all over the world. . E-Learning 24/7.
Last week we kicked-off the 2019 Talented Learning Awards by honoring the best learning systems in our first category – corporate extended enterprise systems. Of course, other kinds of learning software also deserve recognition. eLogic Learning. eLOGIC LEARNING.
While the SCORM standard isn’t going anywhere soon, Tin Can has redefined some of the fundamental practices of tracking learning experiences. is still the most popular authoring standard used in eLearning, its weaknesses triggered the development of the Tin Can API.
The sun is setting and the only thing on my mind right now, is the Top 10 learning systems for 2018. 10 Cornerstone Learn – Heyo! 9 SumTotal Learn – UI/UX is strong. Assessment tool included. A lot of potential for this learning engagement platform.
With so many learning management systems (LMS) flooding the eLearning space, selecting the best platform is definitely a daunting task. In simple words, choosing the right software for your company’s training needs is time-consuming and a mentally challenging activity to get involved in.
Back by popular demand, the top 50 Learning Systems for 2019. Every vendor, with the exception of Blackboard (who is coming soon) can be found on FindAnLMS.com , my learning system search engine platform, an independent and trusted source to search, compare and engage with vendors in the learning system space. Rankings are based on 1,000 vendors across the globe. Feel free to use my support card that I send out to vendors and/or ask them directly. .
I read a piece written by Kate Graham of e2train on Thursday and it started me thinking about the ‘real learning versus managed learning’ debate. We shouldn’t confuse what L&D/Training departments spend a lot of their time on with real learning.
awards honor best-in-class solutions across the learning and technology marketplace. awards program was first implemented to formalize the recommendation and purchase process for the e-learning community. Research indicated 85 percent of readers had recommended an e-learning solution to a peer over the most recent 12-month period, and 61 percent claimed that award recognition “impacts their decision” to consider a product or service. The “Best of E-learning!” Tools.
It was here where I had a learning experience. This, the learning experience, is why I feel the term is the wrong term, as noted previously for learning engagement platforms, and why I prefer and will use the term LEP instead. Learning Environment. E-Learning 24/7.
I dive into the e-learning industry, specifically the LMS world and see what others do not see. . And why are people going and using it for their learning? ? The vendors who are not necessarily on the top of everyone’s tongues. Yet, a lot of vendors do not. Learning Environment – Extremely important. I also look at where the system has been (related to features), where it is going, and it’s track record. 1 eLogic Learning.
Love it or hate it, you have to admit that life in the learning technology “lane” is never dull or slow. But case after case demonstrates that a state-of-the-art learning infrastructure leads to a demonstrable business advantage. appeared first on Talented Learning.

Localized Cryotherapy targets a specific area of the body to treat inflammation due to injury, post-surgery or chronic pain. Spot treatments are also a great tool to use for post surgery to help heal incision areas and swelling.
Spot Treatments will last 4-8 minutes depending on which area of the body we are working on.
We recommend a Spot Treatment to help with post-injury or surgery 3-5 times. For best results, a Whole Body Cryotherapy session should be part of the treatment to help stubborn areas with a little extra recovery.
How Cold Will My Skin Get?
Our certified tech will monitor your skin temperature during the whole session. Your skin temperature will get below -10 Celsius for you to receive the full effect of the treatment.

A PRISONER on the run after failing to return from day release wore an Iron Man mask when he and another homeless man robbed a student at knifepoint in Leeds city centre, a court heard.
A Leeds Crown Court judge jailed Damien Ashman and James Brown for more than 11-years after hearing the “terrifying” robbery has had a devastating impact on their victim.
Ashman and Brown had been drinking heavily before they targeted the university student on Calverley Street, Leeds Crown Court heard.
They dragged him to the ground, pinned him down and Ashman pointed the knife at his chest while Brown assaulted him during the robbery, which was caught on CCTV.
The student handed over his mobile phone before escaping during the incident in the early hours of November 9.
Prosecutor, Jonathan Sharp said Ashman, 35, had been on run from an open prison for three weeks when he committed the robbery.
He had been granted day release from HMP Sudbury in Derbyshire on October 19 after serving 13 years of an indeterminate sentence imposed for the public protection for a previous robbery.
The court heard Ashman had met Brown at homeless charity St George’s Crypt on George Street in Leeds city centre and the pair drank heavily.
Ashman admitted robbery, possessing a bladed article and being unlawfully at large from custody.
Ashman, of no fixed abode was jailed for six-years-and-eight-months.
Brown, 25, admitted robbery, and was jailed for four-and-a-half-years.

There are only a few men who can get away from a motorcycle accident without so much as a scratch and this only happens in movies. Studies conducted by the National Safety Council of Erie estimate that a motorcycle accident seriously injuring at least one person happens once every fourteen seconds. The National Insurance Crime Bureau Statistics of Erie also reveals that there is an alarming rise of motor vehicle theft and worse, only 20-25% of the stolen motorcycles are ever recovered.
The reason why you should get motorcycle insurance is that it will cover liabilities for injuries to yourself or your passenger, the damage you will have caused other people or properties, the damages that are a result of natural catastrophic disasters, such as fire, theft, falling objects, hail, or even contact with animals, accidental damages to your motorcycle, and the loss or damage of any personal belongings or safety apparel. In addition to these, Erie motorcycle insurance will also cover most of your medical expenses, which includes the transportation used in taking you to the medical facility, and any type of physical rehabilitation after the injury. You can also choose for optional insurance for towing and roadside assistance coverage that may be convenient when you are in an unknown location.
The question that lies in this argument is how much you can afford for motorcycle coverage. Motorcycles are the most vulnerable vehicles on the road and the most dangerous as well. That is why Erie motorcycle coverage gives you all the protection you can get to help you out whenever you beckon.

Today Buzzfeed had a list of resolutions for Homebodies aka Introverts aka Me. I only like 6 or 7 people. That last one is a bit iffy and it kind of depends on the day. The list is kind of tongue-in-cheek because no one keeps resolutions.
We've already established I don't do Resolutions. But just for fun I'll take on a few of these.
Pfffttttt. Nope. I am old, if I don't want to do something I'm going to tell you. "Bek, do you want to go to the club?" Hell no. Hellllll noooooooooo. "But it's my birthday". That's great and all. I'm glad you were born. But no. I'm not punishing myself. I'll take you to lunch. Maybe you can supersize it.
Maybe they meant C.L.U.B. Clever Library Upper Books. Maybe that is what they meant.
I'm probably the only person that doesn't do this. I can't sit still that long. Also, Ladybug is not for that. There are games to be played! Also - cartoons.
No I won't. Overly outgoing people kind of weird me out.
I will not spend an entire Saturday in bed.
How about I will spend an entire Saturday in bed. How about that? Can someone arrange this? Is there someone I can call?
I will go out on a Friday night.
Like outside the car to pick up a pizza? Friday? I need to go to bed on Friday. Duh.
I will stop ignoring phone calls and text messages in an attempt to seem busy or unavailable.
I get sad when the phone rings. Never call me. I'll respond to text messages, unless they say something stupid like "call me". Only my momma can say that. I don't ignore to seem busy, everyone knows where I am. I'm busy with the hustle maybe, but that's it.
I will wear pants at least once a day.
Hahaha! I so feel you on the only liking a few people. Doesn't it make life so much easier?? Having too many friends is just so much extra effort! I'll admit...i do binge watch Netflix sometimes but I also don't have a toddler so I'm sure that will go the way of the Dodo bird.
Absolutely it does! And finally being old(mature) enough to not care what other people think.

Photo Direct is a reseller for the full range of Canon Wideformat inks.
Reactive ink technology in Canon’s CAD & GIS range features a 5-colour dye/pigment reactive ink system designed specifically for CAD and GIS applications. This unique formulation improves ink adhesion to the media and minimises colour “bleeding”. When black ink intersects with a coloured area (for example, words printed on a coloured background), the black and cyan inks induce a chemical reaction that prevents black from bleeding into the colours. This means clearer text, smoother curves and sharp fine lines – even on uncoated technical papers. Using reactive inks also improves scratch and marker resistance so prints are far more durable than those printed with conventional dye inks.

Teriyaki Salmon Quinoa Bowl with kale and fresh veggies. A quick and easy cooked Asian meal bowl that’s perfect for healthy lunches, meal prep, and fast dinners. Simple to make and packed with flavor!
Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Set aside for serving.
While the quinoa cooks, place the salmon in a small, shallow dish so that the pieces are nearly touching but do not overlap too much. In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Pour two-thirds of the mixture over the salmon, reserving the remaining one-third. Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
In the meantime, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add the vegetables and white/light green parts of the scallions. Sauté until crisp-tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. The timing will vary based upon the veggies you use; harder veggies like diced carrots will need longer, while softer veggies like bell peppers and broccoli will cook more quickly. If you are using frozen veggies, they should all cook in the same amount of time. Add the edamame and 2 tablespoons of the reserved marinade and cook 30 additional seconds. Remove to a plate or bowl and cover to keep warm.
To serve, place the cooked quinoa in individual serving bowls. Top with sautéed veggies, salmon, and reserved dark green onions. If desired, sprinkle with a little of the remaining reserved marinade and additional red pepper flakes. Enjoy immediately.
Store leftover quinoa and leftover stir-fry veggies separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.
I find salmon tastes best the day it is made, but you can refrigerate the leftovers for 1 additional day. I recommend enjoying the leftover salmon at room temperature versus reheating it to make sure it doesn’t dry out. I heated the leftover quinoa and veggies until they were very hot in the microwave, and then topped them with the room temperature-ish salmon, and it was delicious.
The nutritional information from this recipe is estimated based upon 4 tablespoons of the marinade being used in the recipe plus 2 tablespoons from the salmon resting in the marinade. The rest of the marinade was discarded. If you need more precise direction, I recommend measuring your marinade and calculating the nutritional information yourself using your best judgement/any tweaks you made (you can do so for free at myfitnesspal.com).

Add some sweetness to your holiday gift list this year with a batch of these no-bake Dark Chocolate Irish Cream Balls.
Struggling for a gift idea for that hard-to-buy-for person? Some of the best gifts of the holiday season come straight from the kitchen. Every year I create a basket of delicious homemade goodies for my husband’s team at work. In the past, I’ve made some our family’s favorite holiday recipes, including chocolate chip cookie dough truffles, cranberry walnut bars and even all the fixings for one of our favorite cocktails, the chocolate martini. Whatever we come up with is always a hit. But this year? I’m pretty sure I’m knocking it out of the park with these Dark Chocolate Irish Cream Balls.
If you’ve ever had a rum or bourbon ball, then you have a pretty good idea of what to expect from these no-bake Dark Chocolate Irish Cream Balls. Think of them like a cross between a crunchy nut cookie and a rich chocolate truffle. Crunchy pecans and chocolate graham crackers (I used a gluten-free version to accommodate everyone on our gift list this year) are mixed with melted chocolate and decadent Kerrygold Irish Cream Liqueur. The result? Bite-sized treats that are dense, indulgent and full of holiday cheer.
Tip: I rolled these Dark Chocolate Irish Cream Balls in chocolate jimmies, but you can also toss them with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a totally different look.
Hosting a holiday party? These Dark Chocolate Irish Cream Balls are a perfect addition to the dessert buffet, too. In fact, these treats are actually better when you make them a few days ahead of time and give the flavors a chance to meld together. Pop them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week and you’ll have the perfect sweet and slightly boozy finish for any get-together.
These Dark Chocolate Irish Cream Balls make a great holiday gift!
Place graham crackers and pecans in the bowl of a food processor and process until mixture resembles coarse sand. Set aside.
Melt chocolate chips (either in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, or on the stovetop). Whisk in powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk and Irish Cream Liqueur.
Stir together pecan mixture and Irish Cream mixture until thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Remove chocolate mixture from refrigerator. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to shape into balls (about 1”-1½ “ in size). Roll balls in chocolate jimmies. (You might need to use your hands to help the jimmies stick.) Store balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

In 1996, the first Parmigiani Fleurier watch collections emerged from the Fleurier workshops and were presented to the public.
In just under a decade, Parmigiani Fleurier has succeeded in equipping its workshops with the means to ensure extremely high-quality production. The entirely vertically-integrated industrial facility thus established constitutes one of the rare truly complete watch Manufactures in Switzerland specialising in Haute Horlogerie.
All the professions within the art of watchmaking are united within the Manufacture, which is extremely efficient in the fields of Research and Development, design, watch exteriors (the conception and production of dials and cases), micro-mechanical engineering (the conception and production of machine-tools), precision profile-turning (for making movement components), machining, assembly and casing-up.
The very best efforts are dedicated to ensuring that Parmigiani Fleurier remains a standard of reference for Swiss watchmaking refinement among a broad public imbued with a love of fine mechanisms and for whom 'tailor-made' know-how is essential.
Providing a warrant of longevity and independence, the confidence and the support of the Sandoz Family Foundation, demonstrated right from the creation of Parmigiani Fleurier, represents a precious and inestimable guarantee of the brand's lasting and harmonious development. Extremely selective by nature, Parmigiani Fleurier is currently distributed worldwide through a high-quality network of the finest points of sale.

food is always good, always delivered hot, fresh and timely. beyond menu is also cheaper then ordering from doordash and grubhub. love it.
Speedy online delivery and order ahead service. The food is always well-seasoned and delicious! The staff is very pleasant and friendly. We order from here often. Red Ginger China Bistro is wonderful!
The food is always delicious. We have food delivered at least 3 times a month. However this last delivery was wrong. I had special instructions as I am allergic to peanuts and someone did not omit them from my order as requested. This could have been critical, but it was obvious the peanuts where in the food. Things happen.
Fast service and the food was excellent!
Hot & Fresh Food! The ONLY place I go for great Chinese Takeout in Corona.
Food was good as always. Took a little longer than expected.
Food not as good as when restaurant first opened. Had MooGoo GaiPan and MuShuPork, it had so much oil it was sickening. Also had orange chicken, it was ok. The fried rice was more like steamed which was ok because we prefer steamed. We ordered on line and when you order dinners for two or more it there's no option to choose like a steamed or brown rice instead of fried as an example. We'll be looking around and trying other asian restaurants.
The order was ready when I arrive but when I got home I didn't have the chicken satay. It was a container of lettuce, dry chicken strips and sauce. The other two items didn't seem to have enough flavor like what we ordered the week before.
Food was excellent! Crispy duck & minced chicken lettuce wraps.
Never had any problems ordering on "Beyond Menu", as it has always been quick and easy to do. Food has always arrived in less than an hour, I'd say about 30-40 minutes after ordering. Food is hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The person making the deliveries is very professional, and polite as well. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys some good chinese food.
We love Red Ginger's. My wife would have it everyday if I let her.
Love there food! Always yummy!
I really enjoyed my sweet and sour shrimp. It was cooked perfectly as always. Also, the person that checked me out was super nice. I think he was either the owner or manager.
Always great food and quick delivery.
Took a bit longer to arrive than expected, but worth the wait to have great food.
food is always good in my book. I recommend it too.
Best hot and sour soup in Corona. We drive by two other Chinese food restaurants to go here for take out!
Great food, fast friendly service.
A++ Quick Delivery, Got everything PERFECT!! Even read my order notes!!
We ordered online for a late lunch while we watched the football game. We ordered with a future pick-up time, and the food was being delivered to the front counter when I walked in the door. The food was fresh, tasty and hot, and it was packed very well. The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable. Three lunches and an appetizer were only about $25, so a great value too. We've ordered from there many times over the past 4 years and have never been disappointed in any way. Excellent!
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The food was delicious at just the right temperature. The delivery person was timely and very friendly.
First time customer and I was very impressed by how the food was delivery exactly when it indicated it would. The quality of food was great and the amount of food was more than expected!
Asked for no shrimp in the wor wonton do to allergies. Big fail. Shrimp on board. Would like to say I enjoyed it but I couldn't eat it.
Delicious as always. Fresh and delivered fast!
Red Ginger is always worth the wait to have delivered when you're in a crunch and can't leave to get food! It is always hot & fresh. And they accommodate if you don't want something particular in your meal.
So fresh and yummy! The best in town!

John Goodman has been a representative, an acting president and now he’s returning to Washington in his most demanding role: a rep. roommate in a group house.
Goodman is the lead in the upcoming Amazon Studios series “Alpha House,” about four Republican senators living in a rowhouse on Capitol Hill. Part of an experiment last month–which you can still see for free here–Amazon picked up “House” along with four other original series according to Deadline.
The series comes from longtime Doonesbury scribe Garry Trudeau following the daily lives of an all-too-common situation when it comes to Hill life on and off the Capitol. While there’s a Bill Murray cameo in the pilot, the inspiration came from a legit group house of rotating Democratic senators. The other selections from Amazon Studios may not be as wonky, but who knows what could happen when they have to deal with “House of Cards” season 2?
“Alpha House” will be released sometime in 2014.
Nicco Mele’s new book, “The End Of Big,” delves into the impact and lessons of new technology across a wide political, economic, media and social spectrum — a spectrum reflected in the diverse cross-section of Washington political and media leaders, campaign veterans, current and former government officials and business and new technology leaders who turned out in force to fete Mele at “The End of Big” book party hosted by Connie Milstein, Tammy Haddad, Doug Wilson, Joe Trippi and Jeff Trammell last night at the Jefferson Hotel.
Mele, seen as a “godfather” of a field that has expanded exponentially in the past decade, and mentor and role model for young practitioners responsible for Barak Obama’s unprecedented use of social media to attract voters, galvanized the crowd with his comments about the impact technology continues to have on all aspects of life. He held up his smartphone to the crowd and told them that the phone case had been made using his new 3-D printer, and that future models would enable people to “print” everything from shoes to rifles.

We are trying to raise money to send our scholastic state representatives to the U.S. Open so that they may compete in the Denker, Barber, and Girl’s Tournament of Champions (or the Polgar). This year the tournament is in Florida, and the cost of travel is considerable. As a result, we want to send each child with a scholarship to help them and their family with the associated cost of representing New Mexico.
Any donations received for this cause will be put into a restricted fund, and 100% of the money will be given out as scholarships to send our representatives to nationals.
We are not considered a charitable organization we are a 501 (c) (4) non-profit, so any gift given is NOT considered a charitable donation. Consequently, any amount given is truly just a gift and there should not be an expectation of a deduction. However, we are not tax officials, and we would direct you to consult with your personal tax preparer.

Norfolk, Virginia—Norfolk Christian Schools in Norfolk, Virginia, was relying on the old fundraising standbys of schools everywhere: auctions, banquets, and golf tournaments, despite the fact that those events weren't generating the dollars they did in their heyday.
The events seemed to be ingrained within the history of the private, nondenominational schools, which now serve more than 800 students and their families in the Greater Hampton Roads area at three campuses—an upper and lower school in Norfolk, and a second lower school campus located in Virginia Beach. There, students are equipped spiritually and intellectually to love God and serve as Christian ambassadors in the world.
Rick Nikkel, director of development, recognized that the auctions and golf tournaments weren't successfully connecting donors to the mission of Norfolk Christian Schools.
"We weren't doing a good job, and people weren't absorbing anything," he says. "They were leaving events empty, because we weren't filling them up with anything about the school."
After a board member learned of Benevon, their team attended Benevon 101. Fundraising at Norfolk Christian Schools would be forever changed.
Coming back from their first year of training, Nikkel and his team faced skepticism from many people involved with the school. They didn't initially believe the school could support itself without its special events.
"We said to ourselves, 'We're just going to trust this model,'" Nikkel recalls.
The Norfolk Christian Schools team immediately began holding Point of Entry tours, shedding light on the school's facilities and impact on its students.
"It was obvious right away that people were soaking in our mission more successfully," Nikkel says. "We saw great benefits very early on through increased funding, enrollment, and general interest."
Yet as the first Ask Event neared, skepticism towards the Benevon Model resurfaced.
"Other people were skeptical about the event really lasting one hour, and our team was skeptical about being able to express everything we needed to in only one hour," Nikkel remembers.
The Ask Event silenced the skeptics for good.
"Everyone remarked how it was so impactful and efficient for being only one hour," Nikkel says. "The time limit forced us to boil our message down to what really mattered, and express that in the best way possible, in the form of testimonials."
That message came through loud and clear for attendees, one of whom was so excited by the event that when she returned home, she shared every detail of it with her husband. The following day, she called Nikkel and offered to make a yearly contribution of $25,000.
"She was so excited, and you know there were many others just as excited as she was," Nikkel says.
Norfolk Christian Schools raised $560,000 at their first Ask Event.
"For a one-hour luncheon, that's amazing," Nikkel says. "And it's nothing compared to how much we were raising before. In the first year with Benevon we met our annual fund goals—goals that we hadn't met in five years, and we did it without our two largest events."
After a second Ask Event, which boasted an additional fifty people, Nikkel says those who initially doubted the model truly began to embrace it.
"I haven't heard anyone say to me, 'Don't you think we should go back to doing an auction?'" Nikkel jokes.
Nikkel and his team now encourage everyone involved with the school to share a testimonial or their vision for the school whenever they have the opportunity.
During a concert, one chorale teacher did just that. She shared with the audience the chorus' need for new risers—movable platforms on which the chorus stands while performing. The risers they were using were dangerous and unstable, but the school couldn't afford to replace them.
At the end of the concert, a gentleman approached the teacher, explaining his interest in buying new risers for the school. That man challenged his friend to help out, and together they replaced every single riser, a gift of around $3,500.
Nikkel himself began incorporating brief stories and visions into his email exchanges with one executive. As a result, that man is now providing Norfolk Christian Schools with a gift of 250 new computers, all equipped with the latest software.
Nikkel credits Benevon with teaching him how to connect and express genuine need to people like that executive.
"As a fundraiser, it makes a world of difference because you take on a different outlook," he says. "The biggest benefit of this model is drawing more people into an understanding of the importance of this institution, and getting to see people being drawn in to a better understanding of what this school is doing to impact the world. And doing it in a genuine fashion—that's what really captures me about Benevon, and that's what works the most effectively. There is sincere motivation for what you're doing, and sincere impact."
Contact us today to learn how the Benevon fundraising model can help you engage committed lifelong donors and develop an effective major gifts program.

This is an incredible coupon! You can save $5/5 Kellogg’s cereals with this coupon on coupons.com (zip code 84755). I see Kellogg’s on sale for $2 a box quite frequently, so this can make for a SUPER deal on cereal.
I saw Cars 2 cereal on clearance at Target earlier this week — need to head back there with this coupon! I know a little guy that would LOVE to have that much cereal! Great deal for donations, too.
I can see the coupon in the zip you listed but it won’t print. 🙁 Maybe the print limit was already reached.
Just heard that the site is having some issues, so hopefully it is fixed soon for everyone!
I got mine using zip 84711.
Same problem – I tried IE, Chrome and Mozilla. None give an error message, it just won’t print.
Be persistent. It wouldn’t print for me either for almost an hour, but I tried back every 20 min or so because we eat alot of cereal around here. And I really wanted this one. It finally printed after about an hour of trying. I used zip code 84755. Good luck.
Can you tell me where to find that coupon at? I looked in both Zipcodes listed and I didn’t even see the coupon.
It has since run out of prints.
I didn’t see it anymore either, but the .75 off any milk is great anyway!
Make sure that you check the location of the milk coupon – it is valid in select locations (would hate for you to try to use it if it is’t going to be accepted).

Rounded profiles of the radius of 2.5 mm, characteristic of the MB-SR50 system, have been replaced in the MB-SR50N system by “sharp edge”. This change essentially influences the aesthetic aspect of the structure. The applied shape of profiles enables selection of mullion and transom profiles which flush with each other on the inside surface of the façade. When the structure is glazed, visually it forms a truss. It facilitates at the same time aesthetic and very accurate connection with other elements of the development – with internal walls and suspended ceilings.

Milan is recently going better and better as the Rossoneri produced one of the Serie A’s most impressive performances beating Sampdoria to reach Blucerchiati in the sixth place of the league.
Above all, Milan have won five times during their last six games: that’s exactly the same amount of victories Rossoneri produced in their previous 17 matches. Undoubtedly, huge credit goes to the turnaround Gennaro Gattuso made over there. Hired in November to replace the sacked Vincenzo Montella, former 2006 World Cup champion came to Milan, the club where he spent the better part of his playing career.
Although Gattuso went back to Milanello with more than 400 appearances for the club, two Serie A titles and two Champions League wins under his belt, his appointment raised some eyebrows. In fact, his previous coaching experiences with Sion, Palermo, OFI Crete and Pisa left mixed feeling about his managing skills with leading the latter [Pisa] to Serie B as Gattuso’s only remarkable coaching success.
Gattuso’s first game as Milan manager – a 1-1 away draw against a pointless Benevento with the home side that gained their first Serie A point courtesy of a keeper’s injury-time header – increased pundits’ doubts about Milan management’s decision to entrust the first to their former midfielder.
Some months later, doubts are almost have vanished and disbelief has been replaced with hope. Gattuso proved not just to be «cuore e grinta» (grit and heart) – he labelled this definition as «barroom talks» – but also to a good tactician as few believed to be possible.
So, Gattuso changed his team’s mood but was also good enough to improve them from a tactical viewpoint. Since he took over the job, Gattuso get Milan better in terms of both results and performances leading Rossoneri to a touching distance of an European qualification spot as the campaign goes on.
Former head coach Montella favoured a 4-3-3 formation that he utilized during his first season in charge at San Siro. After the club was brought by Chinese tycoon Yonghong Li, Milan enjoyed a huge turmoil during the past summer transfer window as they purchased players such as Leonardo Bonucci, Nikola Kalinic, Hakan Calhanoglu and André Silva spending close to €200m.
To better suit the newcomers – especially Bonucci who flourished within the three-man backline he played at Juventus – Montella switched from his 4-3-3 to a 3-5-2 line up featuring two forwards up top.
Initially, Gattuso tried to replicate this shape but, after things went south, he made a quick turnaround reverting his side to a 4-3-3. After some attempt, he basically found a currently stable backline featuring right-back Davide Calabria, centre-backs Bonucci and Alesio Romagnoli, and left-back Ricardo Rodríguez in front of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The midfield trio was built about former Lazio playmaker Lucas Biglia with Giacomo Bonaventura and Franck Kessié at his sides. The three men up top are flankers Suso and Calhanoglu supporting the centre-forward which usually was André Silva or Kalinic. However, after some poor performances of both the Portuguese and the Croatian, Gattuso was not afraid to install youngster Patrick Cutrone as Milan’s no.9. Rossoneri manager’s trust in Cutrone paid off as the 20-years old striker posted impressive numbers in terms of goals scored (5), expected goals (5.42) and passes that led to shot (1.26 per game).
Patrick Cutrone scored five league goals so far.
When in possession, Milan under Gattuso employ a patient build-up in the way to conveniently move the ball up towards more advanced areas. Biglia is pivotal in this build-up as the Argentinian midfielder is the player charged with the duty to help the defenders to get the ball progressing from the third line to the midfield. Former Lazio’s passing skills (91.1% of pass success rate) are essential to make the build-up phase fluid.
Gattuso’s Milan usually tries a patient build-up although it doesn’t always work out.
During this first phase of possession, is not unusual to see both the full-backs pushing higher up the field becoming wing-backs in order to provide depth and width.
In the final third of the filed, the flankers Suso and Calhanoglu play as inverted-wingers acting as inside-attacking midfielders and occupying their own half-space. When Gattuso started his reign over there, Milan’s offence was clearly unbalanced with Montella putting big emphasis on Suso. The Spaniard was charged to be the offensive playmaker and the majority of team’s attacks came from his side.
Since Gattuso revitalized Calhanoglu, Suso split with former Leverkusen player the charge to lead the ball in the final third. It means Rossoneri was able to start their attacks from the other side too making their offense more balanced.
Starting from the left-side, the Turkish has the change to cut into the left half-space using his tactical acumen. With Giacomo Bonaventura lined up as left interior midfielder, Gattuso created some combinations on Milan’s left-side, with former Leverkusen dropping into midfield to receive the ball and Bonaventura overlapping outside. Both Bonaventura and Kessié was encouraged by Gattuso to push up top toattack the penalty box and support the centre-forward.
When out of possession, Milan rarely deploy a gegenpressing. Instead, they collapse behind building a 4-1-4-1 mid-block ready to exploit the space behind the opposition’s backline. Despite the fact Gattuso employs many offensive players into his starting line-up, all the players quickly learned their manager lesson of humility, showing a hard-working attitude that helped to bolster Milan’s defensive stability.
The expected goals against data (xGA) confirm that as Milan is the third Serie A team in terms of xGA with 24.81 according to understat.com model.
Recent won game against Sampdoria (1-0) highlighted this improved defensive mentality and also showed Gattuso’s attention to details. In fact, with Sampdoria able to occupy the centre of the field manipulating opponents with their circulation and combination through their 4-3-1-2 shape, Gattuso build a mid-block within a narrow midfield with both the wingers occupying their respective half-spaces.
Milan’s narrowed midfield against Sampdoria when out of possession.
It forced Blucerchiati to play the ball into wider areas where Milan aggressively pressed them closing all the passing lines. It led Marco Giampaolo’s side to force some passes that resulted in ball gained by Milan.
Regardless all the doubts about his hiring, Gattuso’s approach is working. Coming to Milan from the youth team without a great coaching resume under his belt, Gattuso’s appointment was perceived by the fans as another club’s intent to bring on a former team’s player to lead the team. This approach worked with Carlo Ancelotti but faltered when you think about the experiments with Filippo Inzaghi and Clarence Seedorf. So, although fans and media was ready to a worst-case scenario, Gattuso exceeded the expectations turning things around and leading Milan further in the Europa race.
