The OC Global Alliance is the voluntary association of mobilization centers for the purpose of sharing resources and experience to fulfill our common vision, mission, values and strategy. Each mobilization center functions independently, each having its own accountability (typically in the form of a national board), but the centers are linked through the unifying essentials and a commitment to partner with one another and share resources. Mutual trust, a common vision, a desire to partner together and a fundamental belief that the Holy Spirit can help multi-national mobilization centers work together is what has made the OC Global Alliance successful.
The need and desire to form the Global Alliance came from the changing face of world missions. In today’s mission world, two thirds of the missions force comes from the countries of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America – commonly referred to as the Global South. OC’s personnel now reflects that number, as 60 % of OC ministry staff hold passports other than that of the U.S.
The official formation of the OC Global Alliance came in 2010, but really multi-cultural, multi-ethnic teams were a part of OC’s strategy from the beginning. In one sense, OC has always been international, partnering alongside the worldwide body of Christ to fulfill the work of the Holy Spirit. As more and more OC fields in the Global South began to show the desire to send missionaries and minister to unreached people groups through OC’s vision, mission, strategy and values, OC leadership saw the need to internationalize. As early as 1977, Outreach Canada, which had ties to OC through personnel and vision, began to function completely independent of the OC office in the U.S. Throughout the years, OC fields in the Philippines, Singapore, and Brazil, to name a few, began to send missionaries to parts of the world where U.S.-based missionaries could not gain access.
As the internationalization process had already begun, OC made an attempt to link the established sending countries in the early 2000s, which proved unsuccessful. Finally, OC leadership came together in 2009 to redevelop a stronger internalization model. With the business savvy of Josué Campañha of Brazil, and the ability to synthesize the discussions of Craig Kraft, Canada, OC leadership formed the basis of the OC Global Alliance, which in the next year would select 10 mobilization centers (U.S., Canada, Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala, U.K., Taiwan, Singapore, Philippines, and India) and officially come to fruition in 2010.
The OC Global Alliance is now looking toward the future. The Alliance Team and global leaders met together in Taiwan in May 2013 to continue the fine-tuning of strategy and structure, as well as welcoming a new mobilization center, Indonesia, into the fold.
Would you like to give to support the core leadership, communications, mission worker training, member care, church planting, sports ministry, youth outreach, and much more at the OC Global Alliance and the individual mobilization centers?

Ever have a program or process that doesn’t end properly and runs in the background continuously?
I recently encountered this issue with VLC on one Windows 7 machine where it keeps the process never terminates. Since I never reboot the machine for other than Windows Updates, this amounted to 633 copies of VLC running in memory. Each process only used about 633k so it wasn’t an astronomical memory hog but multiply that by 633, you begin to feel the machine slowing down. Task Manager doesn’t let you kill multiple processes in bulk and I didn’t want to go through killing them one by one or rebooting.
All running VLC processes will be terminated automatically.
‘Windows XP Mode’ could not be started because there are not enough system resources or memory in your computer. You can shut down other virtual machines or close open applications and try again.
You’ll need to find the app causing the problem. You can use msinfo to figure out which apps are resource intensive.
Click Start, click Run, type msinfo32 in the Open box, and then click OK.
Expand Software Environment, and then click Running Tasks.
View the values in the Min Working Set and the Max Working Set columns for each process to determine the process that uses a lot of physical memory.
In my case, I discovered Stardock Tiles and Virtual PC are not compatible. Kill the Tiles process and you’ll be able to run Virtual PC. You can run Stardock Tiles after loading up Virtual PC though.
4. click Close, after doing as un checking this option you will not see GoogleCrashHandler.exe running again.
Windows 7 sports tons of new features and surprises that have gotten little to no fanfare.
Did you know that Microsoft has updated the Windows Calculator with Windows 7 with some really new and useful features? Previously, most of these features often required you to open Excel or use some website to solve the problems they address. The calculator sports new features including Unit Conversion, Date Calculation, Mortgage, Vehicle Lease, Fuel Economy (in both MPG and KM no less!) You can find the different options under the View menu after opening the calculator up. See screenshots below for examples of what the calculator can do.
If you’re installing IIS with Windows 7, you may find that the IIS (Internet Information Services) installation hangs while the progress bar indicates 100%. The menu displays: “Please wait while Windows makes changes to features. This might take several minutes.” and appears to do nothing.
The solution? Disable ESET antivirus and try again. I’ve found that it seems to conflict with the trustedinstaller which causes the lockup issue. It might be the same with other anti-viruses as well.

Representative John Picchioti, a Republican representing Fairfield, Mercer and Smithfield and serving on the Insurance and Financial Services Committee, today published an anti-Muslim rant as a public post on his personal Facebook page.
The post was noticed and a screenshot posted to Twitter by progressive activist Steven Biel.
Maine Republican Senator Michael Willette resigned as chair of the Legislature’s State and Local Government Committee in March after it was revealed that he had a history of making similar anti-Muslim statements on social media.
After a Republican National Committee member made a similar statement last year based on the same chain email, the Detroit Free Press published this thoughtful column in response.
Update: It turns out this is far from the first time Picchiotti has made racist and anti-Muslim posts on Facebook.

The New York Islanders have great depth between the pipes with Robin Lehner and Thomas Greiss enjoying unbelievable seasons. In front of that tandem, the team’s defense has been reliable, and with the return of Thomas Hickey from injury, the back-end now has a strong seventh-defenseman with two others, Luca Sbisa and Dennis Seidenberg, as last resorts.
It’s the Islanders forward group that has some depth problems, raising questions as the team recently clinched a playoff spot. The team’s recent gutsy win against the sliding Winnipeg Jets showed they can score against the league’s top teams, but can their forwards sustain this level of play?
Islanders General Manager Lou Lamoriello decided to stand pat at the trade deadline in February, raising some questions about a team that was in the midst of a season of unexpected success. Shortly after, the team began to show signs of weakness. The scoring they did have dried up and their ability to keep pucks out of their net – a staple of the team’s success this season – began to falter.
Then the injuries piled up. Andrew Ladd is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL, Valteri Filipula is unable to play through the first round of the playoffs, and Tanner Fritz, who missed the last couple of games, will now miss 6-8 weeks according to Newsday’s Andrew Gross.
Despite the injuries, the Islanders have been playing better of late, though not without a few clunkers against teams fighting for their playoff lives. The Montreal Canadiens and Columbus Blue Jackets shut out the Islanders, helping both teams jockey for the last wild card spot in the East. A tough Boston Bruins squad also shut out the Islanders, who were only able to muster 13 shots against Tuukka Rask, their fewest of the season.
In total, the Islanders weren’t able to score three times over a five game stretch during a critical point in the season, highlighting many of the concerns from the media and fans. If the Islanders want to survive the first round against the Pittsburgh Penguins, their likely opponent, they’ll need everyone up front to begin finding the net.
Depth players always seem to make a difference come playoff time. Every year, an unlikely bottom-six player steps up when it counts, helping to vault their team to a Stanley Cup. Last year, the Washington Capitals’ Devante Smith-Pelly scored seven goals in the playoffs, matching his regular season total in 30 less games. For the Islanders, they’re going to need players up and down the lineup to find ways onto the scoresheet, but who?
With the door open on the third line, Kuhnhackl has an opportunity to be a difference maker in the playoffs.
Michael Dal Colle, who had been a healthy scratch since Mar. 9, was given a chance and had a good game against the Blue Jackets on Mar. 11 with multiple high-danger chances coming in the second period. Coach Barry Trotz likes what he sees from the young forward, but there are times Dal Colle doesn’t look totally comfortable.
To be fair, he’s only played 26 NHL games this season between time in the AHL with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and in a suit in the press box, not exactly giving the young forward an opportunity to get comfortable and build chemistry with linemates.
Dal Colle now has a chance to play in the top-six on a line with Brock Nelson and Josh Bailey, which paid off against the Buffalo Sabres as he battled in front, deflecting an Adam Pelech shot from the point for his third of the season. The 6-foot-3, 204-pound forward also made a few great passes against the Sabres. He’s gaining his confidence and finding his groove at the right time.
Cal Clutterbuck is an interesting player. He’s not very far removed from scoring 15 goals (2015-16) and still possesses a dangerous wrist shot. He gets power play time and plays on a fourth line anchored by one of the team’s best stories this season, Casey Cizikas. In short, Clutterbuck has a lot of opportunities to score, and while he hasn’t been depended on to do so this season, he has the ability to help the Islanders win games in the postseason.
For now, Islanders fans can exhale, if only for a moment. With three games remaining, including John Tavares’ second return to Long Island, there’s an opportunity to clinch home ice in the first round and, possibly, first place in the Metropolitan Division.

LX Shi and Q Han, JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR MODELING, 24, 325 (2018).
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to study the influence of solvents on the structure and mechanical properties of physically crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gels. Firstly, three kinds of PVA precursor gels were made by adding water, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and a mixture of DMSO and water (4:1 by weight), respectively. The solvents in the precursor gels were then exchanged with water to obtain three kinds of PVA hydrogels. Solvent in the precursor gel with a mixture of DMSO and water was also exchanged with ethanol and DMSO, respectively. It was found that the tensile strength and failure strain of the PVA hydrogel prepared from precursor gel with a mixture of DMSO and water was the highest, and the polymer network was more homogeneous than the other two PVA hydrogels. The polymer network of PVA gel with ethanol or with DMSO was more heterogenous than with water, and the tensile strength and failure strain were much lower. The torsional activity of polymer chains of PVA gel with ethanol was much stronger than PVA gel with water and DMSO.

Learn how to Increase YOUR Confidence & YOUR Personal Power while you Transform YOUR Stress into SUCCESS.
Hi Leaders - check out this short 1.5 minute intro video.
I know this may sound strange, but you don’t want to eliminate stress from your life! Rather, you want to think about stress in a specific way - that it actually is necessary to reach peak performance.
Imagine stress as an ocean wave.
You can surf the wave and harness the energy to increase your confidence and have more personal power.
OR you can have the wave crash over you and turn your world upside down and doing it, probably, in a very painful way.
I found that I didn’t like the person I became when overwhelmed by stressed. If I allow it, stress will control my character, my personality, my self. The greater the stress, the more control I lose over my actions and thoughts. I become a person I wouldn’t want to be friends with. A person I don’t want to be. I found that stress controlled my character. That my character was powerless in the face of certain stress.
And that was something I couldn’t abide. That was a weakness I couldn’t tolerate. Because the life I envisioned had stress involved. Heavily involved especially as I am a leader. And leadership and stress are related. Stress is often is the other side of the leadership coin. When you pursue leadership, it means you live with stress.
The way you think about stress is extremely important. If you only see stress as negative and harmful, it will be mostly negative and harmful for you. However, if you look at the graph and see how necessary stress is for us to attain the best from our bodies and minds, then stress, up to a certain point, helps us be better, to do things we couldn’t do without the stress to energize and excite us.
Ready for a little bit of self-evaluation?
Create a list of stressors that are good for you, so you can maximize your performance.
Then instead of allowing this stress to control you, control it instead. Do this by starting to breath deeply and focus on taking big, deeper breaths. Your body/brain will start to feel bigger, more capable, ready to tackle what challenge lies in front of you.
But when you don’t control your thinking at the beginning of stress, you feel smaller, shrunken, tight and ultimately scared. Just by thinking of stress as a means of making yourself more powerful, faster, smarter, bigger, stronger, it becomes true.
… is meant to help you. That feeling those feelings, thinking those thoughts, experiencing those sensations, are the human part of you responding to stress. That as long as you rise up with this response you stand a chance of riding it to peak performance at this moment in your life. A chance to use stress for your benefit. A chance to escape the dictatorship of stress. A chance to be a bigger, better version of yourself in a time of stress.
Change the way you THINK to change the way you act.
Change the way you ACT to change the way you think.
The way you think about stress determines its impact.
So pay attention to how you are thinking as you get stressed.
It can fill you with POWER or it can sap all your energy/fill you with fear… your choice!
What causes YOUR daily Stress?
For most Leaders, one of the constant challenges is standing in front of others delivering content.
But rarely are leaders given resources to handle the specific stresses created by leading these presentations, pitches, meetings etc. Also, everyone wants to be engaged these days! But how do you do that effectively and powerfully when you already have so much stress layered on you as a leader… and this only adds more?
That’s where “Poo on your Shoe” comes in.
But first, let's look at a typical Leader situation.
She is extremely good at her job but finds at the end of certain days that she is a nervous wreck and, unhappily, brings that energy home to her family. She wonders if maybe she isn’t cut out for a VP position with all its added stress. Somedays she looks at her colleagues whom she oversees and wonders if she would be happier with less money and fewer responsibilities. But when she looks at where she wants to go next, a demotion isn’t advisable.
What Claire needs isn’t a demotion, it’s a different attitude and knowledge base. She needs to know how to separate herself from her stress and emotions and choose behavior that supports her leadership responsibilities. Claire needs "Poo on your Shoe!" Watch the short video below.
As for Claire, the way she feels stress around these leadership responsibilities is not a sign that she isn’t cut out for leadership! She is responding the way humans were meant to respond to these pressures. She is not broken or damaged or weak. She is simply a human who is reacting the way humans react to these performance pressures.
She needs more "Poo on your Shoe" attitude!
Note: If you haven't watch the "Poo on your Shoe" video above, do it now!
One of the first steps to resolve the pressures on leaders is to understand how you as a human are built to respond to these pressures, and then, how to adapt your human response so that it fits your leadership objectives. Basically, how to adapt your human response so that you choose the best way to respond for your needs, not the automatic way to which your human DNA defaults.
Neuroscience teaches us that the human response to performance stress defaults to negative. So we have to fight to be positive or our bodies will automatically default to negative.
So what Claire is feeling, what humans feel, what YOU feel, is natural.
When under stress, Claire, me, you, all of us, have to FIGHT to be positive. There are so many reasons that we fight to be positive. But one of the big ones is that POSITIVE is POWER. Walking into a stressful room with positive energy confers, just by itself, a huge advantage vs. walking in the room filled with negative energy which carries a monstrous disadvantage.
Now is an excellent time to watch the short video, "Fight to be Positive" below.
What Claire, and the rest of us need is to "Fight to be Positive!"
Claire and the rest of us have a journey ahead. From stress and fear to understanding our human response to these pressures (with lots of help from neuroscience) and then turbocharging with positive. There are strategies that help guide us on this exciting and transformative journey. To learn more about these strategies get our FREE 4 part Video Training Mini-Course below.
Leadership requires skill sets specific to your industry.
These skill sets usually revolve around what your company/organization actually make or do. Most likely you are a Leader because you excel at these skill sets. BUT leadership also requires strange and specific skill sets revolving around performance and delivery.
Performance and delivery create immense stress in most Leaders.
However there is a widespread attitude that this stressful aspect of leadership is something the individual has to cope with. But feeling stress about performance is definitely NOT an individual issue. It’s a species issue. Humans have this challenge.
>>> And yet most Leaders are left to sink or swim on their own. And they quite often do this WITHOUT any discussion, guidance or empathy, while they endure one of the guaranteed stress factors of leadership.
Are YOU a stressed out Leader?
This is a very strange situation. You could be amazing as a Leader in your content abilities and your knowledge of how to work with the teams who make/do what you make/do. But you might also feel overwhelmed by the other side of leadership, the performance and delivery side. You certainly wouldn’t be alone in this feeling. Quite the contrary.
Let me be even more direct.
Have you ever found a new place to sweat from when you have to “perform" some of your leadership duties?
Does the thought of giving a presentation or speech cause slippery palms? Breath gasping? Stomach churning?
When you feel stress and anxiety, do you feel paralyzed and helpless?
Have you been there? Struggling? Fighting? Maybe hurting? No fun, right?
Does STRESS stop you from achieving your goals as a LEADER?
Do you have important things to say but struggle getting them out?
Do you self-sabotage under stress?
Does fear (stress) grip you before or during important meetings or events?
If you answered yes to even 1 question above, then our FREE 4 part Video Training Mini-Course is just what you need. Simply click on the "Get Access Now!" button below to get started today to TRANSFORM your stress into SUCCESS and Increase your Confidence and have more Personal Power.

Prosecutors demanded 20 years in prison for former South Korean president Lee Myung-bak, the most recent of the country's ex-leaders to be embroiled in a criminal inquiry.
The 76-year-old former CEO turned president -- who served from 2008 to 2013 -- faces multiple charges including bribery, abuse of power, embezzlement and tax evasion.
Prosecutors in the Seoul court also called for him to pay a total of 26.1 billion won ($23 million) in fines and forfeits.
The case against Lee means all four former South Korean presidents who are still alive have been charged or convicted for criminal offences.
"The accused undermined the tenets of the constitution by taking advantage of his authority as president for his own private gains", prosecutors said in a statement read at the court.
"Consequently, he became the country's fourth president to be arrested for criminal offences, leaving indelible marks on the constitutional history."
Lee has been accused of accepting a total of some 11 billion won ($10.2 million) in bribes between late 2007 when he was elected president and 2012, according to prosecutors' documents.
The case against Lee also includes claims that the Samsung Group bought a presidential pardon in 2009 for its chairman Lee Kun-hee, who had been convicted of tax evasion.
Both Samsung and Lee have denied the allegations.
The money that prosecutors claim Lee took includes 1.7 billion won in secret funds siphoned off from the country's spy agency and some 3.5 billion won received in return for favours, from people including business figures, a politician and a Buddhist monk.
Separately, prosecutors claim Lee embezzled 35 billion won over 12 years between 1994 and 2006 from DAS, an auto parts company which prosecutors claim Lee owns in his relatives' names.
The verdict and sentencing is widely expected to be made before October 8, Yonhap news agency said.
South Korean presidents have a tendency to end up in prison after their time in power -- usually once their political rivals have moved into the presidential Blue House.
In August an appeals court extended the sentence for Lee's successor Park Geun-hye to 25 years in prison for corruption and abuse of power.
Park was ousted last year over a nationwide corruption scandal that prompted massive street protests.
But both Chun and Roh received presidential pardons after serving about two years.
Another former leader, Roh Moo-hyun, committed suicide in July after becoming embroiled in a corruption probe.

There's been numerous subjects in the world of sport that have got you talking - from England's humiliating defeat against France to UEFA's attempts to combat racism and more - see the best of this week's here.
"This is the best joke I've heard all week - UEFA doing something about anything however small would be a light on the horizon! The whole lot of them are just giving 'lip service' to the game but they do get paid a lot of money for it - so why should they stop.
"If a case if racism is proved the team whose fans are found guilty should forfeit the game/points. It's easy if you think about it. That way paltry fines to clubs and nations no longer count and the fans will take heed or see their loved clubs suffer."
"If the RFU don't act quickly and bravely we will not get past the first few rounds of the World Cup. They have to find a new coach and a team of new back-up coaches. Robinson's demeanour is that of a loser. His persistence with Dawson, Dallaglio, Tindall and Sheridan has cost us dear.
"Where are the upcoming new players? Where are Perry and Vardell? Why does he not try Tom Voyce at number 12? Robinson has no imagination, no vision and cannot see beyond the fortress and the battering ram, there is no guile, intelligence or flair in the England game plan. All change please before it is too late."
The debate over Alan Pardew's recent comments over Arsene Wenger's 'foreign policy', the Frenchman's retorts and Pardew's reply certainly sparked an impressive debate.
Peter W in Caterham, UK said: "The narrow parochial view that English football will come to an end unless every Premiership teams fields a given number of English players is as misguided as it is racist. If teams have to have a quota of English players there will not be an incentive for English players to be better.
"For English players to be able to play they have to compete in terms of quality with foreign players. If they do so successfully then the English team will by definition also have improved. England have won nothing for many years. At present we have the strongest generation of young talent the country has ever had. Prove positive that if you create the incentive to improve then local talent will get better."
Meanwhile Tom Bell's comments: "I can't name one English man who would cost under £15 million who could improve Arsenal," although this prompted James Ross to respond: "Paul Robinson and Michael Carrick; £4M for the two and they would walk into the Arsenal team. And no, I'm not a Spurs fan."

Nearly thirty years ago I decided to join the Nurses’ Health Study and complete a 30-minute questionnaire about my habits and life style every two years. In the beginning, I colored in the little circles in black pencil on a computerized answer sheet and mailed it back to them, but now I do it online. They have kept up with me through my many moves so I haven’t been lost in the shuffle. I am in the second cohort of thousands of nurses called NHS2. They now have a third group of younger nurses born on or after January 1, 1965. If you are a RN, LPN, or nursing student born then and would like to participate, please do your part to continue this wonderful ground breaking research and sign up at www.nhs3.org . They are especially recruiting male nurses. They have also recruited and followed the children of NHS2 nurses to see the maternal influence on their children as they age. They like to recruit nurses because we are reliable and honest in reporting our life style. All our years of charting about our patients is definitely a benefit to this research!
Middle-aged and older women who are more physically active have significantly lower rates of coronary heart disease (CHD). Women who walked briskly for at least 2.5 hours per week saw a 35% lower risk of developing CHD.
Walkers have lower rates of heart disease.
Two-thirds of women in their sixties suffer from hearing loss. Among 55,850 women in a subgroup, using NSAID (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve are common over the counter names) for over 6 years was associated with a 10% increased risk of hearing loss. Use of acetaminophen (Tylenol is a common brand name) for over 6 years showed a 9% increased risk of hearing loss. There was a 7% higher risk of hearing loss in women who used either of these more than two days per week. However, duration of use of aspirin was not associated with hearing loss. They are doing more research in this area.
It is important to maintain physical function as we age. They compared those with the healthiest diets with less healthy diets and found the group with better diets were 13% less likely to develop physical impairment. Higher intake of fruits and vegetables, and lower intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, trans-fats, and sodium were associated significantly with less physical impairment as they aged. The strongest positive relations were found with increased intake of oranges, orange juice, apples, pears, romaine or leaf lettuce, and walnuts.
GF diets have increased in popularity due to concerns about celiac disease and gluten allergies. However, little research has been done to explore how GF diets impact people without celiac disease. NHS found that eating foods high in gluten from whole grains can be beneficial to health. Men and women with the highest levels of gluten intake had 20% lower risk of developing diabetes, and 15% less risk of developing coronary heart disease. Gluten intake did not lead to weight gain in people under age 65.
They examined which specific foods and eating patterns led to less weight gain and more weight gain as we age.
These foods were associated with less weight gain: tofu, soy, plain or artificially sweetened yogurt, seafood, fruit (especially blueberries, prunes, apples, pears strawberries, grapefruit, and avocados). Chicken without skin, replacing 1 serving daily of sugar-sweetened beverage with coffee or water, vegetables (especially cauliflower, summer squash, string beans, broccoli, and green leafy vegetables), replacing 1 serving daily of fruit juice with coffee or water, eating nuts (especially peanut butter, peanuts, and walnuts).
Fruits and veggies have wonderful health benefits.
These foods were associated with more weight gain: corn, processed meats, peas, chicken with skin, sugar-sweetened beverages, baked, boiled, or mashed potatoes, fruit juice, regular full-fat cheese.
The American Journal of Public Health published a special edition in September 2016 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Nurse’s Health Study which is still available.
I hope you will incorporate these findings into your own lifestyle and instruct your patients so everyone can be healthier!

We are currently learning about measurement in our maths lessons.
Today, we focussed on perimeter.
We set up ‘perimeter stations’ around the classroom. Some of the shapes were regular shapes and some were irregular shapes.
Make educated estimates of each shape.
Carefully measure the actual perimeter of each shape using centimetres.
Calculate the difference between their estimation and the actual perimeter.
Some of the regular shapes were quite easy and students estimated correctly, and some of the irregular shapes were quite challenging!
It was fantastic to listen to the mathematical language and conversations the students had as they estimated and calculated the perimeter of the different shapes.
How has your measurement knowledge improved during this unit of work?
Calculate the perimeter of something and tell us the answer in your comment!
Yesterday we started a measurement unit in maths.
Our first lesson focused on mass. Mass is defined as the quantity of matter in an object. Mass is measured in grams and kilograms.
I am learning how to estimate and record using grams and kilograms.
I can make estimates about the mass of an object using grams and kilograms.
I can make conversions between grams and kilograms.
Students were presented with a variety of supermarket items. They had to estimate the mass of each item and record their estimations. We also had lots of weights in the classroom so students could make informed estimations.
Today, we discovered the actual mass of each supermarket item. We compared our estimations and reflected on how close or distant our estimations were.
How did you go with this estimating task?
What was challenging about this task?
How can you practise your estimating skills?
When do we estimate in real life?
We are currently learning about measurement in maths.
Using multiplication to calculate area.
Students have been participating in a variety of collaborative, open ended, hands-on tasks over the past week.
In groups of four, students researched the lengths of a variety of snakes. Using measuring tapes, rulers, newspaper and tape, students created their own snakes with exact measurements. Students had to label each snake with the correct measurement and covert the unit of measurement using millimetres, centimetres and metres.
In groups of three, students designed and created a shape (either regular or irregular) using masking tape on their tables. They had to calculate the perimeter of their shape by adding together the lengths of all sides. Students then travelled around the classroom measuring and working out the perimeter of their peers’ masking tape shapes.
Students estimated the perimeter and area of their right foot, and then investigated the actual measurements. To do this, they traced their foot onto 1cm grid paper. To calculate the perimeter, students used ribbon to go around their traced foot and they then measured their ribbon with a ruler or measuring tape. To calculate the area, students worked out how many 1cm squares were on the surface of their foot. It was interesting to see how the estimations and actual measurements compared!
How has your measurement knowledge improved?
When might you use your new measurement skills in real life?
Can you measure something (either the length, perimeter or area) and record it in your comment?

You might want to rethink your strategy, Christian Bale.
It’s easy to assume that an actor who has been tasked with putting on weight for a film does so purely by eating junk food and ceasing exercise. In fact, various actors have admitted to just that. Bale told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival in September that he’d been “eating a lot of pies.” When Aaron Eckhart gained 40 pounds for his role in 2016′s “Bleed for This,” he told HuffPost he consumed lots of pepperoni pizza.
Robert De Niro famously gained 60 pounds for his portrayal of boxer Jake LaMotta in “Raging Bull.” According to a Vanity Fair piece about the film, he spent four months enjoying “grand European dining” to prepare. And when Charlize Theron put on 30 pounds for her Oscar-winning role in 2003′s “Monster,” she told Stumped Magazine she ate “a ton of potato chips.” You get the gist.
But gorging on pasta, pizza and the like can’t be the only way ― or certainly not the safest way ― these stars pack on pounds, can it?
Tracy Lockwood, a celebrity registered dietitian in New York City and founder of Tracy Lockwood Nutrition, told HuffPost she has worked with multiple celebrities in need of gaining (and then consequently losing) weight for their jobs. Those who overindulge in unhealthy foods are “doing it all wrong,” Lockwood said. Instead, she advises her clients to go for quantity and quality.
The weight gain tactics might be wrong, but the memes are so right.
What exactly might that meal plan look like?
Robert De Niro on the set of "Raging Bull."
At this rate, Lockwood said the client will slowly increase to between 3,000 and 5,000 calories per day, as opposed to the 2,000-calorie guideline the Food and Drug Administration uses for nutritional labels. Clients should gain between two and four pounds per week, she said.
Assessing the less healthy weight-gain tactics stars have described on the red carpet, Lockwood said that while such strategies might work, they do a ton of harm to actors’ bodies.
“Gorging on things laden in calories, fat and fatty oils is not only dangerous to their short-term health, but can wreak havoc on their cardiovascular health, cholesterol and blood pressure down the road,” she said.
And while it’s certainly less likely for a non-celebrity to attempt rapid weight gain as opposed to rapid weight loss, Lockwood strongly advises against both.

text: In The Analysis of Beauty, William Hogarth advocated an unusual kind of formalism based in artistic practice: not form distilled into a rule for judgment but rather derived from the artist's techniques for perception and composition. Denis Diderot, too, embraced an aesthetics of technique, particularly in the Paradoxe sur le comédien, in which he contends that what appears impassioned in an affecting dramatic performance is in fact calculated. Diderot, however, had the extra burden of reconciling the ideal of illusion with his demystification of the practitioner's perspective, a reconciliation he could only conceive as a paradox.

Unit cost price is derived from the original unit price inserted into the system via the order guides. As prices fluctuate, the unit price will display the weighted average price.
A store purchased 10lb of cucumbers at $1.00 per pound last week.
This week, they purchased 10lb of cucumbers at $2.00 per pound.
The weighted average price for these 20lb of cucumbers will be $1.50 per pound.
As the store starts using the cucumber in production, the system will automatically pull from the inventory that was ordered first. So in this example, at the end of the following week, the store has 5lb of the $1.00 per pound and 10lb of the $2.00 per pound cucumbers left.
This will increase the weighted average price per pound (unit cost) will increase to $1.666. These unit cost prices will fluctuate until all costs are the same.
These unit cost numbers are displayed on the Inventory Report in the Unit Cost column.
Log into your MacromatiX account and select the Reports tab to the far left side of the screen.
Select the Weekly Reports sublink.
At the top of the screen, the Analysis drop box will default to Inventory.

>Q. I am surprised and disappointed by your answer to the lady asking for help with her hot flashes. Her doctor took her off hormones because of serious side effects, and she was suffering.
You should have recommended bioidentical hormones. They are completely free of side effects and are amazingly effective.
A. Although the Women's Health Initiative demonstrated the dangers of PremPro, no comparable studies exist for bioidentical hormones.
Researchers have known that the estrogen a woman makes herself has a significant impact on her risk of breast cancer (International Journal of Cancer, Oct. 15, 2010). The longer a woman has active menstrual periods, the higher the risk (International Journal of Epidemiology online, Aug. 13, 2011).
Since bioidentical hormones mimic a woman's own hormonal production, we cannot assume that this therapy would be entirely safe. Women who would like to learn more about other ways to manage hot flashes, such as yams, Pycnogenol or vitamin E, may find our Guide to Menopause helpful.

>Q. I recently burned two of my fingers on a hot oven. They had already started to blister when I remembered reading about the soy sauce remedy. It was like magic: both the pain and the blisters went away quickly. The next day, I just had two small red marks.
I've been fascinated with this. When my son got his fourth huge mosquito bite of the week, I wondered if soy sauce might help reduce the swelling. His eye had swollen shut from a bite on his forehead, so when he was bitten on the cheek, I applied some soy sauce to it.
Within minutes, the swelling had receded, and it was completely invisible before he went to bed.
A. Thank you for the hint on mosquito bites. We've never heard that soy sauce might help.
Many other readers agree that applying soy sauce after cold water can be helpful for easing the pain and redness of kitchen burns. A serious burn deserves prompt medical attention.
>Q. My 92-year-old mom began having excruciating ankle pain about four months ago. She has seen five doctors, including three podiatrists, and a chiropractor, and had an emergency-room visit. They all said her pain was due to osteoarthritis or plantar fasciitis.
While researching ankle pain, I discovered that gout can sometimes affect other joints besides the big toe, and that celery seed extract may be helpful. I bought some for my mother, and after a week or two, she says her ankle pain is gone, although she still has occasional pains into her big toe.
A. Gout can indeed affect other joints besides the big toe, and the pain can be excruciating. Many medications can raise uric-acid levels and increase the likelihood of developing gout. Drugs to lower uric-acid levels can help manage gout. Celery seed extract and tart cherries are home remedies for gout, and celery seed has anti-inflammatory effects (Inflammopharmacology, December 2003).

Today’s episode is a repeat appearance by Barbara Taylor one of the Principals at Allan Taylor and Co., a mergers and acquisition firm. In this episode, Barbara and I are going to have a conversation about the world of virtual assistants and how smaller companies can take advantage of them.
I’ve been using VA’s in my operation for several years now and believe it’s the best way to get great talent, especially if you live in a smaller town like I do where getting people with specific skills can sometimes be challenging. Also, in most smaller businesses you’re not going to want specialized talent for more than a few hours a week.
How to identify when a virtual assistant would be a good idea to add to your business.
Making sure you evaluate the economic opportunity before bringing a VA into your business.
How to scale your operation using virtual assistants.
Make sure that you correctly identify the skill sets you’re looking for.
Knowing what type of outsourcing help you need and whether it’s ongoing or project based help that you need.
Today, we have a repeat guest with us. Barbara Taylor was one of our first guests when we started the podcast about a year and a half ago. She is one of the two owners of Allan Taylor & Co. She’s in business with her husband which is an interesting thing by itself. And we might actually pivot and talk about that a bit.
So, let’s bring Barbara in, we’ll start talking about this and we’ll see where it goes.
Hey, Barbara, how are you today?
Josh: Well, thanks for joining us again.
So, let’s talk about this then, what are you trying to accomplish with your business right now?
Barbara: Well, like you said in your introduction, I have a very small niche professional services firm where my husband and I are the primary rainmakers as well as the primary people who do most of the work. And over the years, it’s been ten years now, like a lot of business owners have gotten to a point where a couple of things have happened, there’s a lot of work that I’m either tired of doing or really needs to be delegated because it’s not the most high value work for me to be doing in some sense. And we’ve reached a point where we could scale a certain service in particular which is the valuation process. But it’s not something that I’m going to scale until I have found some sort of support to get the work done from what I think will be a virtual team that’ll help me get those done.
Our valuation has always been popular and it’s a big part of our process but I’ve always kept a cap on how much I market it or push it because I know I can’t do much more than maybe three or four of them a month. And I just don’t want to open the floodgates. So that’s my issue.
Josh: Okay. So if you did open the floodgates, how many do you think you would be doing a month?
Barbara: I think we could pretty quickly be doing more like ten, maybe in the eight to twelve range, a month. The most I ever had myself in a month was eight. And that was with no pushing at all.
And currently, we usually have one, two or three going at any given time. So, I think with just a little push, we could probably get in that eight to twelve range a month probably pretty quickly.
Josh: So, it sounds to me like there’s two things you need. One is you need somebody to actually do the valuation work. And then if you really did want to push up to 100 valuations a year, you would probably need to also have some sort of a regular ongoing marketing campaign. Does that make sense?
Josh: So, what you’re probably thinking about is first scaling the operational side which is having the ability to do ten or twelve valuations a month. And then after you get that built out, then work on the marketing so you can actually create ten or twelve a month.
Barbara: Right. Yeah, I think that’s definitely the order to go.
Josh: Okay. So, here’s the interesting thing about virtual assistants or virtual scaling as we might call it for here, or for what I’m thinking about anyhow, is that if I wanted to do this with an internal staff, it would cost me a ton of money. And the reason it would cost me a ton of money is because I’d be hiring somebody to be inside my four walls. And until I got to the point where I could actually keep them busy, I’d be paying them to do nothing.
Josh: So, when we go to a virtual assistant, big difference there. We’re only paying a virtual assistant, at least in this particular case, for the hours that they actually spend doing the work for us.
Barbara: Right. And there’s a little bit of seasonality to what we do – not a lot. But it is hard to predict how many I’m going to have going. But there are usually between Thanksgiving and the first of the year, we tend to have a little bit of a slowdown in general as people are just sort of finishing up the year and involved in the holidays and what not. So, I can definitely foresee times – like you said, if I had a W2 employee, where I’d be struggling possibly to have work for them to do.
Josh: So what are the skill sets that you need for, first, the person that’s going to help you do the valuation work? Or people?
Barbara: I’ve identified two areas where I need help. One of them has to do with the design and putting together a sort of a modular document template where they can be customized for every business center and every valuation. But to some degree, there’s always going to be the same components in the document.
And up until now, I’ve just been doing it myself in Word and putting together a pdf document which really is not reflective of the quality of most of our work. I mean, it’s okay and people have given us good feedback but our main document that we created our firm is the CIM (confidential information memorandum) which I have a design firm that helps me. They’re absolutely fantastic work products that we’re kind of known for and I feel like the valuation from a design standpoint needs to look more professional. But also, I don’t want to spend a couple of hours putting together a document into pdf. So, there’s sort of a design and document creation aspect that somebody else should be doing who is actually better at it than I am.
And the other person I have identified that I need is someone to help put the financial analysis for a couple of reasons. Again, I’m pretty good with spreadsheets but there are people who are a lot better. And it’s very time consuming sometimes to pick the information that I get from a business owner and put it into the format that we like to look at.
And it’s also kind of a check and balance. If I can get the right person with the right qualifications, it helps to have multiple people sort of filtering through financials, all looking for the same thing. And it’s a bit of a check and balance if I can get somebody else to help with the financial piece as well.
Josh: So what I’m hearing here is that there’s actually three different functions. One is that we have a data collection piece we need to be accounting for. We have the design piece which also would probably be a template of some sort that needs to be established. And then, we need somebody to actually run the numbers and crunch them and take those numbers and put them into the template. Would that be a fair thing to say?
Barbara: Yeah, I think so.
So there are a number of what I call salability questions that we need to ask. And I’m trying to put those into a format as well where I can take that qualitative information which helps make an assessment on the valuation as well and have that somewhere. So I could certainly see that data collection, their client management type role being something that I can hand off to somebody as well.
Josh: Potential clients would fill that out. The data would go to your number cruncher who would crunch your numbers. And then they would take that information and put it into your template which you would then get a chance to review and go over with your client. Would that make some sense?
We’re looking into some options for that type of information gathering too, including maybe some secure gravity forms on our website. But yeah, that’s definitely something that we need to get a process around.
Josh: So, what it seems to me is, you actually need somebody long term to do number crunching and taking the information and putting it into your report. But you also need some short term help which is project work for designing what your report will look like and putting together your data collection forms. Does that make any sense?
I think I will be able to use the same design firm for both designing the template as well as having one of their graphic designers, because they have several freelances, be the person who will put all the information together and create that report. So, I think that can actually be achieved with one firm.
Josh: Most likely. So, the thing here, which I think is really interesting for folks who might be listening is that when you’re outsourcing, there’s actually two ways of outsourcing. One is a project, which means I have a specific project that I’m trying to do. You know, for example, I’m going through a web refresh right now, since we formed our own registered investment advisory, so that’s a project. But then we have the ongoing stuff like video editors, and my podcast editors, and transcribers and, you know, my researcher. Those are ongoing things.
So it’s kind of important to think about as you’re saying, “Okay, I’m going to outsource, but am I outsourcing to a project? Or am I outsourcing to an ongoing regular business activity?” And it’s kind of a different sort of thing that you’re going to want to do with that.
Barbara: I think that most of what I’m going to be looking for is ongoing stuff. But yeah, I see what you’re saying, there’s a distinct difference between the project-based and the ongoing.
Josh: And I think just understanding that is really important because one thing that’s important I found when I work with our virtual assistants is that we’re very clear about the scope of the project is. One of the things that I’m always concerned about which is why we don’t charge project fees, we do retainer fees, is what I call a “project creep”. I bet you’ve even had that happen in your business, Barbara.
Barbara: Sure. Yeah. What you thought was only going to take a certain number of hours ends up taking a lot more.
Barbara: Is that what you’re talking about?
Barbara: Yeah. I think that’s a good way to start a relationship with this firm as well. I’ve clearly got an outsourced marketing system. Obviously, I’m not the type of firm that’s going to have in-house marketing help. And I found, with a lot of those folks in particular, that I start with one project and see how it goes before I give them additional ones. In that way, I get a feel for “what are they really good at?” so that they can stick with the things that they’re best at. And then maybe find another firm for something else.
So, for example, I’ve got a marketing firm that does really great design work. And so, they’ve helped me with a lot of online and print design but I’m not sure that SEO strategy and pay-per-click and things of that nature, you know, if marketing is in their wheelhouse. And so, I’ve taken that elsewhere.
But I think that starting with just a project with a firm is frequently also a way to determine how you work with them and if you would want to give them any more work, whether they ask for it or not.
Josh: That’s a really good point. The other thing which I think is useful and we don’t do it very often is that when we’re hiring these virtual assistants or any outside advisor, do we hire them as if they’re going to become a regular employee of our company? And the answer is often “no”. And in my opinion, I think that’s a mistake.
Barbara: What do you mean by hire them as if they’d be a regular member of your company?
Josh: You would do the same hiring process you would do for an internal employee for an outsourced employee.
Josh: In other words, you put together a criteria for what you’re hiring. You take a look at the values that you hold clear in your business. You don’t want to have that value mismatched. You want to make sure they’re willing to do the activities that will be successful. And you want to make sure they have the technical skills to do it.
Now, when we tend to hire outside advisors, we stop at technical skills. And in too many companies, when we’re hiring internal people, we stop at technical skills and that’s where the brilliant jerks appear.
So, in my opinion, I think you’re really well off to do two things when you’re hiring virtual assistants. (1) One is to hire two for one job. In that way, you get a chance to see, “Gee, this one works better than this one works.” So you’re not doing a serial thing.
Now, you would never do that internally because it’s way too expensive. But on an external thing, specifically for your number cruncher which will be an ongoing, regular feeder where you’re going to be sending these people regular information.
The (2) second thing you want to be thinking about, especially for an ongoing relationship is, “Do you use a solo virtual assistant? Or you hire a virtual assistant firm?” And believe it or not, the cost between the two isn’t that much different. But here’s the advantage of using a firm, I think, is that when you’re using a firm, people leave, people get sick, people retire, people go on vacation. And when that happens, you’re sort of stuck. There’s nothing else that you can do while they’re gone. But if you’re using a firm instead, that’s just a hiccup for them. It’s not your problem.
Barbara: Yeah, that makes sense.
Josh: And like so many things within the business, if we think about our strategies before we start getting to the tactics, we’ll often end up in a much, much, much, better place.
Barbara: Yeah. That makes sense.
Yeah. Just to give you some specifics about where I’ve looked for my number cruncher. I identified three different online sources. And I guess it bears mentioning that I’m a big believer in whether it’s the freelance economy, or the gig economy, or virtual, whatever. I guess, having had a business where I had a lot of W2 employees which can be a good thing or not.
I really want to build my business with more virtual help involved. So, I found three different websites for that financial analyst type of position. One was Upwork, one was Hourly Nerd, and the other was Spare Hire which is more finance and investment banking based. So, I sort of dipped my toe in this water already and it was interesting.
I hear what you’re saying about hiring a firm and that’s definitely a consideration because I agree. If I’ve got a job – I have a three-day turnaround or a five-day turnaround, I need it done. I’ve already told the client to expect something from me, so I’m in a position where I have to have somebody do that work.
But I was sort of encouraged that, at SpareHire in particular, they make you do kind of what you’re saying where you put up your job description, and the scope of the work, and how long you think it will take and that type of thing. And gosh, within 24 hours, I had nine responses. So, I’m wondering if maybe that’s—there are enough freelancers at SpareHire that I would always have more than one person responding or able to do the job.
Josh: What you probably want to be doing – and then we’ll end it here, is that as you’re going through and you find somebody you like working with, you probably want to make them and/or their firm become your go-to person for the number crunching part of your work because there is a ramp up in training period, that happens when you hire anybody, whether they’re internal or they’re virtual assistants. And frankly, I don’t think you want to be in the training mode all the time.
Josh: But you obviously have to do that when you start. So, that would be something that I would highly recommend.
You know, Barbara, unfortunately, we’re out of time today.
And for folks who are listening, if you have a company and you’re in the south east of the United States, around the Bentonville, Arkansas area, I don’t think I can recommend a firm higher than Barbara’s firm. I’ve spent a lot of time talking with her and her husband Chris about the world of M&A and how they go about doing it. And for anybody who’s spent any time around me, know that I’m very cranky about what I think is appropriate and not appropriate. And Barbara is very appropriate. If you’re trying to sell your business, it’s worthwhile having a conversation with her.
And Barbara, if someone wanted to contact you, how would they go about doing that?
Barbara: Yeah. Well, first, thank you so much for the recommendation. I can’t say how much I appreciate that.
And the best way to contact me is probably e-mail Barbara@allantaylor.co. Allan is A-L-L-A-N T-A-Y-L-O-R.C-O – no “m” on the end. And also, yeah, feel free to check out our website or follow me on Twitter. I post a lot of good content there for people who are considering selling or exiting their business. And my Twitter handle is @ballantaylor.
Josh: Barbara, thanks so much for your time today. I really appreciate it. And I’m really happy the direction you’re taking your business. It sounds very cool.
Barbara: Well, thank you, Josh. Thanks for your help.
And for those of you who are interested in learning five things that will make your business sustainable, so you can call Barbara and have her sell it for you sometime in the future, we have a one-hour audio CD. It’s free. It’s called Success to Sustainability.

New York Fed’s William Dudley says U.S. economy temporarily under the weather.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley on Monday said the economy should speed up soon after a first-quarter slowdown that he blames partly on bad weather. But he also offered caveats that leave plenty of room for doubt and suggested the Fed won’t raise interest rates at least until September.
In a speech in New Jersey, Dudley said he expects U.S. growth to slow to 1% in the first quarter from 2.2% in the final three months of 2014. He pointed to a string of soft economic reports, including a mediocre 126,000 increase in U.S. jobs in March that was only half as large as Wall Street expected.
The latest batch of weak data reflects a U.S. recovery that has been “disappointing compared to historical patterns,” Dudley said.
Dudley attributed the recent slowdown mainly to three factors: harsh weather, a stronger dollar and the negative effects of cheap oil on the vibrant U.S. energy industry.
By looking at the amount of snow and the population of the areas affected, New York Fed researchers found that the weather in January and February was 20% to 25% “more severe” than the five-year average, Dudley said.
A 15% spike in the value of the dollar since last year, meanwhile, poses “another significant shock” to the economy by making U.S. exports more expensive, he said.
Dudley also said the huge drop in energy prices, while a longer-term boon for consumers, has caused oil drilling and exploration to fall off sharply in what was a fast-growing domestic energy sector, one of the few stars in the nearly six-year-old U.S. expansion.
That’s had a “meaningful drag” on the economy, Dudley said.
Still, the New York Fed president believes growth will rebound as the weather improves. He said the benefits of lower gasoline prices will filter through the economy and spur more spending. What’s more, the surge in job creation over the past year is likely to generate stronger wage gains as companies compete more to attract workers.
Higher incomes might even be enough, Dudley said, to support the economy even if hiring tapers off from 2014’s breakneck pace that was the fastest in 15 years.
Yet the Fed’s expectations seem at odds with the behavior of consumers and businesses since the U.S. exited recession in mid-2009. Consumers are not spending as much as they used to or buying lots of homes despite ultra-low interest rates. Indeed, the U.S. saving rate has actually increased sharply since last fall and it rose in February to a 26-month high even as gasoline prices sank.
“How much this energy windfall boosts consumption will depend, though, on how much is spent versus saved,” Dudley conceded.
Nor are businesses investing all that heavily even though profits had been surging until 2014, when they dropped for the first time in six years. A key measure of business investment known as core durable-goods orders, for example, has declined in six straight months as of February.
Read William Dudley’s speech on the health of the economy.
The message: The Fed will continue to keep short-term rates near zero until they are convinced the economy is on firm footing. Most economists now believe the Fed will wait at least until September instead of moving as early as June.

Clean your gutters. Your gutters and downspouts need to be free of debris so they can do their job. Test your downspout to make sure it is flowing freely. Get a step ladder and inspect your gutters. Remove any leaves and other material cluttering the gutters.
Trim your trees. Broken branches can be a hazard to your home, especially the roof. But even if they don’t break, they can damage the sides of your home or even break windows. Trim tree branches near your house to make it safer should a storm come.
Check the sump pump. If you have a sump pump in your home, make sure it is functioning properly. Without it, a large rainfall could flood your house. Many people choose to have two sump pumps for maximum protection.
Close windows and shutters. This seems as obvious, but it is quite easy to forget. Close and lock your windows to keep the storm outside, and close your storm shutters, too, to prevent them from swinging freely during the storm and damaging the side of your home.
Purchase a generator. If your power goes out, you’ll be glad you got a back up generator until electricity can be restored.
Inspect your house. Look for damage in your siding or on your roof. Repair weak spots before the storm hits.
With a few common-sense steps, you can reduce the amount of damage a storm can wreak on your house. This can save you a lot of hassle and a lot of money. Most home owners agree that it is worth the little time it takes to prevent bigger problems later on.

Panathinaikos coach Jesualdo Ferreira played Konstantinos Katsouranis as his highest midfielder, with Cedic Kante and Josu Sarriegi the centre-back pairing – the first time they’d started together all season.
Ernesto Valverde went for a defensive-minded midfield trio, which meant no Ariel Ibagaza, and instead three more functional, hard-working players. Kevin Mirallas, excellent in the reverse meeting on the left wing, played upfront.
This was a poor game, lacking in imagination and excitement. There were simply three battle zones: the 3 v 3 in midfield, the 2 v 1s at the back, and the 1 v 1s on the flanks.
The major problem was the six players in the centre of midfield, none of whom offered anything like creativity or artistry on the ball. They cancelled each other out, with Olympiakos playing a simple triangle in that zone, and Panathinaikos playing a slightly more lopsided version with Vitolo sitting deep and Simao ahead to his left.
The two most attacking players in this zone were Jean Makoun and Katsouranis, but neither threatened to get forward and influence the game in the final third on the ball. Makoun’s main activity came in the first minute with a good late run into the box, but thereafter remained in position, leaving the attacking to the front three. Katsouranis was, in theory, the home side’s player who should have been linking the midfield and attack, but neither Simao nor Vitolo were good enough to play the initial first pass into him, so he had to come deeper and deeper to get the ball, making Panathinaikos a broken team, and meaning the triangles played in front of one another.
One of the few interesting aspects of the game was the identity of the forwards. Panathinaikos seemed to play a fluid system, with both Quincy Owusu-Abeyie and Lazaros Christodoulopoulos taking turns upfront, while Olympiakos played Mirallas as a lone striker, and Djamel Abdoun coming in from the left.
In a sense they were playing in a similar fashion – one natural wide midfielder (Kazim and Zeca) on the right, then a forward on the left moving into a central position, and a centre-forward spending his time drifting to the flanks. In the previous derby, Olympiakos did well by getting Rafik Djebbour into the right-hand channel, and Mirallas did the same – often tracked closely by Kante, who also marked him on the rare occasions the Belgian moved across to the other flank. Neither centre-back duo was consistently beaten by the forwards.
So, with nothing happening in the midfield and relatively little upfront, we had to look to the individual battles on the wing. Neither Kazim nor Zeca did anything on the ball and both were removed. It was more interesting on the other flank, where there was a forward high up against a full-back. Owusu-Abeyie was a threat because of his sheer speed, but Francois Modesto played him intelligently, staying deep and rarely venturing forward.
The battle between Abdoun and Panathinaikos’ right-back essentially decided the game, though this was complicated by the fact that Panathinaikos took off Stergos Marinos and brought on Loukas Vyntra at half-time. Vyntra tried to get down the flank, but one mistake cost him the game – he lost the ball, Jose Holevas and Abdoun stormed into the space, and Abdoun scored after Sarriegi was brought out from the back to the right.
In a simple game, it was settled as simply as that.
This game will be remembered for the violence and postponement, which may have long-lasting consequences – but even if the fans had sat peacefully in the stands for 90 minutes, no-one would have remembered the game anyway.
This was a match lacking in quality, movement and creativity – a lack of drive and ambition in the midfield zone meant a static, cagey game that was lucky it saw a single goal.
Is Ninis injured or otherwise unavailable? From what I’ve seen he is a wonderful creative midfielder. Did Panathinaikos feel that the midfield needed extra steel for the derby?
I seem to recall the last Athens derby was pretty defensive too. Especially bizarre that Panathinaikos started with three defensive midfielders at home when Ninis, Karagounis, Leto and Cleyton are all on the books. Why?
Ninis is injured (probably be back in time for the EURO) and Leto is also injured. Ferreira does not trust Karagounis or Cleyton enough. The last derby was actually a good game(for Greece) and had some quality.
Interesting article! Just one little thing: The goalie of Olympiacos is called “MegyeRi”, not “Megyen” as you put it.
To this day I still don’t understand why Stevanovic didn’t pick Owusu-Abeyie for the AFCON. He could have been an impact sub and stretched the game in a Navas like way.
Remarkable issues here. I’m very happy to look your article. Thank you a lot and I’m taking a look ahead to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
