Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals and long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential for children's brain development and cognitive functions. The current study investigated whether milk fortified with micronutrients and PUFA can result in improved cognitive function in mainstream school children.
One-hundred-and-nineteen children (age 8–14, 58 boys) were randomly allocated to a fortified milk group or a regular full milk control group. Participants consumed 0.6L/day of the milk for 5 months. We recorded relevant biochemical, anthropometric, and cognitive measures (working memory and processing speed) at the start of the study and at follow-up after 5 months.
The fortified milk significantly increased docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (change from baseline of 28% [95% CI 17–39%] vs. −6% [95% CI − 13 to 0%] in the control group) and serum 25OH-vitamin D concentrations (41% [95% CI 30–52%] vs. 21% [95% CI 11–30%] in the control group). The fortified milk improved working memory on one of two tests (32% [95% CI 17–47%] vs. 13% [95% CI 6–19%] in the control group). The fortified milk also indirectly increased processing speed on one of two tests; this effect was small and completely mediated by increases in 25OH-vitamin D concentrations.
These results suggest that fortifying milk with micronutrients and PUFA could be an effective and practical way to aid children's cognitive development.

Right, its time to purchase the part I hate (because I just don't know the difference between any of them)... the motherboard.
I have a p4 2.4
I will have 512mb PC2700 memory.
I don't want to spend much on it at all, so looking round ebay I see an AsRock mobo for £15-25 quid. Any opinion on this mobo? And cheap recommendations of others?

Thermohydrodynamic LBE Schemes
Thermohydrodynamic LBE Schemes
This chapter describes extensions of the LB scheme to thermal flows, where temperature is no longer a control parameter constant throughout the fluid, but a dynamic field evolving in space and time under the drive of energy fluxes within the flow and with the external environment. The extension from a thermal to thermal lattice fluids involves a significant leap of complexity, due to the need of correctly recovering higher order kinetic moments associated with the energy.
Keywords: fluid temperature, thermo-hydrodynamics, heat-flux, higher-order lattices, kinetic moments

The singularity at L is somewhat less intense, in that exp^[1/2](L) is defined and equals L.

I'm going to plot two more plots showing the two different half iterates of 0.33+i*Pi, which depend on which side of "L" the path goes on. Here, the path on the right (in green) goes straight up from 0.33 to 0.33+i*Pi, but the path in red takes a parabolic arc from 0.33 to 0.33+i*Pi, passing by the other side of the fixed point of L. The path in green leads to one of the half iterates, and the path in red leads to the other half iterate. L=0.31813+i*1.33723, which is about 43% of the way up up, midway between the green and red lines. Mike's cutpoint follows the path in green.
thanks for the reply.

This plot shows the contour taken by the slog(z) in the complex plane for the green, and red slogs, each going on either side of the fixed point of L, leading to the two different values for the half iterate. The half iterate is sexp(slog(z)+0.5). The endpoints of these two paths are approximately, but not exactly, one Period apart. My guess, is that if we used the superfunction before the Riemann mapping, then the path taken by the two slogs would have been exactly one period apart, and then the two half iterates would have been identical, independent of which side of "L" the path took, and perhaps there would be no singularity at "L".

Decisions on the use of nature reflect the values and rights of individuals, communities and society at large. The values of nature are expressed through cultural norms, rules and legislation, and they can be elicited using a wide range of tools, including those of economics. None of the approaches to elicit peoples' values are neutral. Unequal power relations influence valuation and decision-making and are at the core of most environmental conflicts. As actors in sustainability thinking, environmental scientists and practitioners are becoming more aware of their own posture, normative stance, responsibility and relative power in society. Based on a transdisciplinary workshop, our perspective paper provides a normative basis for this new community of scientists and practitioners engaged in the plural valuation of nature.
First-degree relatives of patients with psychotic disorder have higher levels of polygenic risk (PRS) for schizophrenia and higher levels of intermediate phenotypes.
We conducted, using two different samples for discovery (n = 336 controls and 649 siblings of patients with psychotic disorder) and replication (n = 1208 controls and 1106 siblings), an analysis of association between PRS on the one hand and psychopathological and cognitive intermediate phenotypes of schizophrenia on the other in a sample at average genetic risk (healthy controls) and a sample at higher than average risk (healthy siblings of patients). Two subthreshold psychosis phenotypes, as well as a standardised measure of cognitive ability, based on a short version of the WAIS-III short form, were used. In addition, a measure of jumping to conclusion bias (replication sample only) was tested for association with PRS.
In both discovery and replication sample, evidence for an association between PRS and subthreshold psychosis phenotypes was observed in the relatives of patients, whereas in the controls no association was observed. Jumping to conclusion bias was similarly only associated with PRS in the sibling group. Cognitive ability was weakly negatively and non-significantly associated with PRS in both the sibling and the control group.
The degree of endophenotypic expression of schizophrenia polygenic risk depends on having a sibling with psychotic disorder, suggestive of underlying gene–environment interaction. Cognitive biases may better index genetic risk of disorder than traditional measures of neurocognition, which instead may reflect the population distribution of cognitive ability impacting the prognosis of psychotic disorder.
Systems engineering and design thinking have been widely seen as distinctly different processes, systems engineering being more data-driven and analytical, and design thinking being more human- centred and creative. We use the term 'design thinking' to encompass the plurality of human-centered design processes that seek to unpack the core values behind design decisions. With the increased awareness that both systems engineering and design thinking need each other, the effects of a possibly persisting distinction on engineers' attitudes toward these two processes are not well understood. In this paper, we describe the development and validation of a scale for measuring individual attitudes about systems engineering and design thinking. Thematic analysis of engineering and design literature is used to derive a Likert scale reflecting these attitudes. We use exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to test and confirm this two-factor thematic representation, resulting in a 9-item Systems Engineering and Design Thinking Scale measure of attitudes.
Short-term feeding studies have highlighted a phenomenon in Ca regulation that raises concerns around Ca absorption in dogs that may make an impact on commercial diets near to the maximum recommended level. A recent study to determine responses in dogs fed one of two diets differing in dietary Ca over 40 weeks found no evidence to suggest a concern across a range of biological parameters hypothesised to be affected by Ca. Unforeseen consequences of dietary Ca could have occurred and metabolic profiling was deemed a suitable data-driven approach to identify effects of dietary Ca. The objectives were to compare the fasted plasma metabolome (sampled at 8-week intervals over 40 weeks) of dogs fed one of two diets, near to the minimum and maximum recommended levels of dietary Ca. Comparisons with the control diet were also investigated across the postprandial time course (1–4 h) following acute (1 d) and long-term (24 weeks) feeding of the test diet. Comparing fasted plasma samples at each time point, no significant effect (adjusted P < 0·05) of diet on metabolites was observed. In the postprandial state, only phosphate was consistently different between diets and was explained by additional dietary P to maintain Ca:P. Metabolic profiling analysis supports the view that the dietary Ca upper limit is safe. Additionally, the canine plasma metabolome was characterised, providing insights into the stability of individual profiles across 40 weeks, the response to consumption of a nutritionally complete meal over a 4 h postprandial time course and different kinetic categories of postprandial absorption.
Caliochory, or seed dispersal by birds as nest material, has been reported for several species, but its effectiveness remains unclear in most cases. Darwin's finches are traditionally regarded as seed predators, but the observation of two nests challenges this assumption by demonstrating that they can act as seed dispersers via caliochory. Darwin's finches incorporate cotton-like materials into their nests, including seeds of Darwin's cotton (Gossypium darwinii), a shrub endemic to the Galápagos (Ecuador). Bird nests typically break down after intense rainfall, so the seeds incorporated into nests might benefit from suitable conditions for germination. By simulating the germination conditions experienced over a 72-h period by cotton seeds in a naturally fallen nest, this study qualitatively confirms the long-term viability of at least a small fraction of the seeds at the surface of the nest. Darwin's finches might therefore provide seed-dispersal services to Darwin's cotton and possibly, other native and exotic plants of the Galápagos commonly incorporated into nests. However, larger confirmatory studies are needed.
The current study examined trajectories of maternal and paternal depression in the year following the birth of an infant sibling, and relations with family risk factors and firstborn children's internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Latent class growth analysis was conducted on 231 families in a longitudinal investigation (prebirth and 1, 4, 8, and 12 months postbirth) and revealed four classes of families: both mother and father low in depressive symptoms (40.7%); mother high–father low (25.1%); father high–mother low (24.7%), and both mother and father high (9.5%). Families with both mothers and fathers high on depressive symptoms were higher on marital negativity, parenting stress, and children's internalizing and externalizing problems, and lower on marital positivity and parental efficacy than other classes. Children, parents, and marital relationships were more problematic in families with fathers higher on depressive symptoms than in families in which mothers were higher, indicating the significant role of paternal support for firstborn children undergoing the transition to siblinghood. Maternal and paternal depression covaried with an accumulation of family risks over time, no doubt increasing the likelihood of children's problematic adjustment after the birth of their infant sibling.
Fathers are a crucial source of support for children following the birth of an infant sibling. This study examined whether fathers were more vulnerable to the effects of interparental conflict than mothers, and whether there was a subsequent spillover cascade from interparental conflict to children's externalizing behavior problems. We followed 241 families after the birth of a second child. Mothers and fathers reported on interparental conflict and parental efficacy at 1 and 4 months postpartum and punitive discipline and firstborn children's externalizing behavior problems across a longitudinal investigation (prenatal and 4, 8, and 12 months postpartum). For both mothers and fathers, interparental conflict prenatally predicted decreased parental efficacy following the birth. Fathers' lower parental efficacy was significantly associated with increased punitive discipline toward the older sibling at 4 months, whereas mothers' lower parental efficacy was not. Coercive family processes were present between mothers' and fathers' punitive discipline and older siblings' externalizing behavior problems. Results were inconsistent with the father vulnerability hypothesis in that both mothers and fathers were vulnerable to interparental conflict, which in turn spilled over to create coercive family processes that exacerbated children's externalizing behavior problems in the year following the birth of a second child.
The LIGO direct-detection of gravitational waves arriving from cosmic sources—now, happily including (as of this meeting!) the merging of two neutron stars—opens a new chapter in our understanding of physics itself: for General Relativity, conceptually so extremely simple, has robustly produced predictions that have invariably been found to be correct when tested. My poster (page 3 of this paper) is intended for high school students who have just learned simple algebra. My derivation of the famous E = mc2 from the Pythagorean Theorem necessarily requires an algebraic expansion that is due to Newton, but apart from that it is simplicity itself: a transparent introduction to what all of physics is today: the construction of mathematics that, miraculously, reproduces our observations of the world—and which also successfully predicts the results of future observations—as so magnificently demonstrated at this glorious Symposium!
Discovery of strongly-lensed gravitational wave (GW) sources will unveil binary compact objects at higher redshifts and lower intrinsic luminosities than is possible without lensing. Such systems will yield unprecedented constraints on the mass distribution in galaxy clusters, measurements of the polarization of GWs, tests of General Relativity, and constraints on the Hubble parameter. Excited by these prospects, and intrigued by the presence of so-called "heavy black holes" in the early detections by LIGO-Virgo, we commenced a search for strongly-lensed GWs and possible electromagnetic counterparts in the latter stages of the second LIGO observing run (O2). Here, we summarise our calculation of the detection rate of strongly-lensed GWs, describe our review of BBH detections from O1, outline our observing strategy in O2, summarize our follow-up observations of GW170814, and discuss the future prospects of detection.
The Carolina Sandhills is a physiographic region of the Atlantic Coastal Plain province in the southeastern United States. In Chesterfield County (South Carolina), the surficial sand of this region is the Pinehurst Formation, which is interpreted as eolian sand derived from the underlying Cretaceous Middendorf Formation. This sand has yielded three clusters of optically stimulated luminescence ages: (1) 75 to 37 thousand years ago (ka), coincident with growth of the Laurentide Ice Sheet; (2) 28 to 18 ka, coincident with the last glacial maximum (LGM); and (3) 12 to 6 ka, mostly coincident with the Younger Dryas through final collapse of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Relict dune morphologies are consistent with winds from the west or northwest, coincident with modern and inferred LGM January wind directions. Sand sheets are more common than dunes because of effects of coarse grain size (mean range: 0.35-0.59 mm) and vegetation. The coarse grain size would have required LGM wind velocities of at least 4-6 m/sec, accounting for effects of colder air temperatures on eolian sand transport. The eolian interpretation of the Carolina Sandhills is consistent with other evidence for eolian activity in the southeastern United States during the last glaciation.
The Protoplanetary Discussions conference—held in Edinburgh, UK, from 2016 March 7th–11th—included several open sessions led by participants. This paper reports on the discussions collectively concerned with the multi-physics modelling of protoplanetary discs, including the self-consistent calculation of gas and dust dynamics, radiative transfer, and chemistry. After a short introduction to each of these disciplines in isolation, we identify a series of burning questions and grand challenges associated with their continuing development and integration. We then discuss potential pathways towards solving these challenges, grouped by strategical, technical, and collaborative developments. This paper is not intended to be a review, but rather to motivate and direct future research and collaboration across typically distinct fields based on community-driven input, to encourage further progress in our understanding of circumstellar and protoplanetary discs.
Designers faced with the task of developing a new product model of a brand must balance several considerations. The design must be novel and express attributes important to the customers, while also recognizable as a representative of the brand. This balancing is left to the intuition of the designers, who must anticipate how customers will perceive the new design. Oftentimes, the design freedom used to meet a product attribute can compromise the recognition of the product as a member of the brand. In this paper, an experiment is conducted for measuring changes in ten styling attributes common to both design freedom and brand recognition for automotive designs from four brands, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, and Lexus, using customer responses to two- and three-dimensional vehicle designs created and presented interactively through a crowdsourced web application. Results show that while brand recognition is highly dependent on the manufacturer, two brands have strong negative relationship between design freedom and brand recognition, suggesting that these two manufacturers face a significant challenge when evolving their respective brand styling. This study is a first effort toward quantifying and predicting tradeoffs between design freedom and brand recognition, contributing to existing efforts that augment human intuition during strategic design decisions.
Research supports the central role cognitive strategies can play in successful concept generation by individual designers. Design heuristics have been shown to facilitate the creation of new design concepts in the early, conceptual stage of the design process, as well as throughout the development of ideas. However, we know relatively little about their use in differing disciplines. This study examined evidence of design heuristic use in a protocol study with 12 mechanical engineers and 12 industrial designers who worked individually to develop multiple concepts. The open-ended design problem was for a novel product, and the designers' sketches and comments were recorded as they worked on the problem for 25 min and in a retrospective interview. The results showed frequent use of design heuristics in both disciplines and a significant relationship to the rated creativity of the concepts. Though industrial designers used more heuristics in their concepts, there was a high degree of similarity in heuristic use. Some differences between design disciplines were observed in the choice of design heuristics, where industrial designers showed a greater emphasis on user experience, environmental contexts, and added features. These findings demonstrate the prevalence of design heuristics in individual concept generation and their effectiveness in generating creative concepts, across two design domains.
High-resolution imaging reveals clumpy morphologies among z = 1 – 3 galaxies. Most of these galaxies are dominated by disk rotation, which led to conclude that the observed clumps are generated from disk fragmentation due to gravitational instability. Despite the kpc-scale resolution attained by the most advanced facilities and numerical simulations, these clumps are barely resolved at z > 1. Thanks to the stretching and magnification power provided by gravitational lensing, we reach the sub-kpc resolving power to unveil their physics. From our literature compilation of data, we show that without lensing there is a bias toward clumps with high masses and sizes. The high-redshift clumps identified in lensed galaxies have stellar masses 2 orders of magnitude lower and a median size of 250 pc. They resemble local star clusters observed in the most intensively star-forming galaxies. The clump masses and sizes observed in lensed galaxies agree with new simulations, which show that the Toomre instability criterion overestimates the clump masses by a factor of 5 – 6.
Parental understanding of their children's heart disease is inadequate, which may contribute to poor health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine what parental knowledge is important in the care of children with heart disease from the perspective of parents, nurses, and physicians.
Focus groups were formed with parents of children with single ventricle congenital heart disease (CHD), biventricular CHD, and heart transplantation, and with nurses and physicians who provide care for these children. A nominal group technique was used to identify and prioritise important parental knowledge items and themes. The voting data for each theme were reported by participant type – parent, nurse, and physician – and patient diagnosis – single ventricle CHD, biventricular CHD, and heart transplantation.
The following three themes were identified as important by all groups: recognition of and response to clinical deterioration, medications, and prognosis and plan. Additional themes that were unique to specific groups included the following: medical team members and interactions (parents), tests and labs (parents), neurodevelopmental outcomes and interventions (physicians), lifelong disease requiring lifelong follow-up (physicians and nurses), and diagnosis, physiology, and interventions (single ventricle and biventricular CHD).
Parents, nurses, and physicians have both common and unique views regarding what parents should know to effectively care for their children with single ventricle CHD, biventricular CHD, or heart transplantation. Specific targeted parental education that incorporates these findings should be provided to each group. Further development of questionnaires regarding parental knowledge with appropriate content validity is warranted.
The coastline of Tabasco State in the Gulf of Mexico represents a highly deteriorated ecosystem, where densely populated human settlements and large offshore petroleum developments are negatively affecting the marine biodiversity. Previous work on marine ascomycetes reported that in the Gulf of Mexico the diversity of these fungi might be threatened by anthropogenic activities. Therefore we evaluated the diversity of marine ascomycetes in this area, and registered 19 taxa. Ceriosporopsis capillacea was recorded for the first time for Mexico. The highest diversity was obtained in the beach of Sánchez Magallanes, which receives a great quantity and diversity of organic remains originating from El Carmen/Machona mangrove forests via the Santa Ana mouth, benefiting the proliferation of marine fungi. The lowest diversity was documented in the beach of Paraíso, which is close to the delta of one of the most polluted rivers in Mexico and to off-shore oil extraction platforms. We found a significant correlation between the community composition and abundance, implying that the overall abundance is defined by the community structure, perhaps as a result of competition. Additionally, our results indicated that there is no relationship between the grain size and the biodiversity observed.
This fourth date list for the long cultural sequence in El Mirón Cave (Cantabria, Spain) reports on 19 new AMS assays for Solutrean, Initial, Lower, and Middle Magdalenian and Azilian levels, ranging from about 19 to 11 uncalibrated kyr. Key results are provision of further precision on the transition between the Solutrean and Magdalenian at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum and the very exact dating of a Magdalenian human burial and its relationship to both major living floors and closely associated rock art in the cave.
There are several ways planets can survive the giant phase of the host star, hence one can consider the case of Earth-like planets orbiting white dwarfs. As a white dwarf cools from 6000 K to 4000 K, a planet orbiting at 0.01 AU from the star would remain in the continuous habitable zone (CHZ) for about 8 Gyr. Polarisation due to a terrestrial planet in the CHZ of a cool white dwarf (CWD) is 102 (104) times larger than it would be in the habitable zone of a typical M-dwarf (Sun-like star). Polarimetry is thus a powerful tool to detect close-in planets around white dwarfs. Multi-band polarimetry would also allow one to reveal the presence of a planet atmosphere, even providing a first characterisation. With current facilities a super-Earth-sized atmosphereless planet is detectable with polarimetry around the brightest known CWD. Planned future facilities render smaller planets detectable, in particular by increasing the instrumental sensitivity in the blue. Preliminary habitability study show also that photosynthetic processes can be sustained on Earth-like planets orbiting CWDs and that the DNA-weighted UV radiation dose for an Earth-like planet in the CHZ is less than the maxima encountered on Earth, hence white dwarfs are compatible with the persistence of complex life from the perspective of UV irradiation.
Research on the behavioral correlates of anxiety in older adults is sparse. The aim of this study was to explore the association of anxiety with behavioral patterns defined by health, activity, emotional and social variables.
A convenience sample of 395 older adults completed measures of health, activity, emotions, social variables and experiential avoidance. Cross-sectional data were analysed using cluster analysis.
Five clusters were identified: active healthy, healthy, active vulnerable, lonely inactive and frail lonely. Participants in the active healthy and healthy clusters showed the highest scores on health variables (vitality and physical function), and adaptive scores on the rest of variables. They also reported the lowest scores on anxiety and included the lowest number of cases with clinically significant anxiety levels. Active vulnerable showed high scores on social support, leisure activities and capitalization on them but low scores in vitality and physical functioning. Participants in the lonely inactive cluster reported the highest mean score in experiential avoidance and high scores on boredom and loneliness, and low scores on social support, leisure activities capitalizing on pleasant activities and health variables. Frail lonely represent a particularly vulnerable profile of participants, similar to that of lonely inactive, but with significantly lower scores on health variables and higher scores on boredom and hours watching TV.
Anxiety in older adults is not only linked to poor health, but also to dysfunctional social behavior, loneliness, boredom and experiential avoidance. Maladaptive profiles of older adults with regard to these variables have been identified.

Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed Until September
Have some said news to share about Cyberpunk 2077, it has been delayed. Was very much looking forward to April 16, 2020 release. But now that day will be September 17, 2020. Not much we can do about it but wait another six months. There are some saying that it will be a next gen game with the PS5 and new Xbox. It just might be. That being said it will be on Xbox One and PS4. Which I will get it for. Can't see myself getting a PS5 right way. Just know they will be hard to come by and then there is the price point we know nothing about yet.

Review by
Kevin Joey Chen is a credit cards, banking and investments writer whose work and analysis have appeared on CNN, U.S. News & World Report, Business.com, Lifehacker and CreditCards.com. He's passionate about helping you get your finances in order by expertly navigating cutting-edge financial tools — including credit cards, apps and budgeting software.
Like the name suggests, the Amex EveryDay® Credit Card is a solid choice if you spend a lot on everyday items, with a focus on groceries. This card earns 2x points on purchases at eligible supermarkets, sports a $0 annual fee and offers a 0% intro APR on purchases for the first 15 months. You'll also benefit from a solid welcome offer when you meet the purchase qualifications.
If you're looking for a relatively simple rewards card for groceries, the Amex EveryDay® Credit Card could be a strong choice, particularly if you don't yet have the credit chops for one of Amex's more lucrative reward offerings.
Amex removed or reduced certain Amex EveryDay® Credit Card coverages on January 1, 2020. At this time, it has not announced changes to the card's trip delay reimbursement or Baggage Insurance Plan benefits.
Planned changes include:
When you make $1,500 in purchases within 3 months of your account opening, you'll earn 15,000 Membership Rewards points.
This is a strong intro APR, especially for a rewards card. After it expires, your purchase APR is 12.99% to 23.99% variable.
You'll earn 2x points at US supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases, then 1x points after that. For a card with no annual fee, this is a solid rewards rate for grocery spending. On other eligible purchases, you'll earn 1x points.
You can redeem Membership Rewards points for a variety of rewards, including:
Membership Rewards points may be worth more or less than the industry standard of 1 point for every 1 cent, depending on what you're redeeming for. Before trading your points, check the redemption rate.
If you make 20 or more purchases with your card in a billing period, you'll receive 20% more points on those purchases.
Transfer your Membership Rewards points to eligible frequent traveler programs, such as British Airways Avios, Emirates Skywards, JetBlue TrueBlue, Choice Privileges Rewards, Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy.
Your points are worth 2x when redeemed on travel through AmexTravel.com.
For some types of spending — such as retail, dining and entertainment — you can pay for card charges with Membership Rewards points.
You'll have access to the American Express Global Assist Hotline if you find yourself in a pinch on vacation. Complimentary car rental insurance is also included.
Get free two-day shipping from various stores through ShopRunner.
Eligible items are covered against theft and accidental damage with purchase protection.

Because the Amex EveryDay® Credit Card is by American Express, you might not have as many opportunities to use it overseas as you would a Visa or Mastercard.

This article is part of our DraftKings Fantasy Soccer series.
- 10:00 am: Burnley vs. Crystal Palace
- 10:00 am: Chelsea vs. West Ham United
- 10:00 am: Liverpool vs. Brighton & Hove Albion
- 10:00 am: Tottenham Hotspur vs. AFC Bournemouth
- 12:30 pm: Southampton vs. Watford
For additional stats and odds, check out the DraftKings Fantasy Soccer: Saturday EPL Cheat Sheet.
Willian, CHE v. WHU ($9,700): Chelsea are the second-biggest favorite on the slate, and while their set-piece situation has been pretty fluid, Willian has at least been the most consistent. West Ham haven't conceded a plethora of crosses this season, though they certainly give up more when they're playing away. With Tammy Abraham (hip) unlikely to play, GPP players could get a discount for Michy Batshuayi ($8,500), though Christian Pulisic ($9,000) is also a very viable option if he starts ahead of Pedro ($8,800). Paying up for the Liverpool guys – Mohamed Salah ($10,800), Sadio Mane ($10,500) and Roberto Firmino ($9,300) – is always an option, though they're all pretty goal dependent, a situation that also applies to the Tottenham attackers like Son Heung-Min ($9,800) and Harry Kane ($10,400). Needless to say, all of these guys need goals to make value, though Willian at least provides the set-piece floor many look for in cash games.
Dwight McNeil, BUR v. CRY ($7,800): This price is quite high for McNeil, but he's worth consideration in cash games because Burnley are the second-highest crossing team on the slate and Crystal Palace have conceded the second-most. There is a lineup situation worth monitoring, however, as midfielder Ashley Westwood, who shares set pieces with McNeil, is suspended, which could allow Robbie Brady ($4,600) to get into the lineup. The expectation is that the two would still share corners, though Brady always finds a way to get a bigger piece of the pie, and at his salary, people could surely convince themselves he's the better Burnley exposure. Meanwhile, Ashley Barnes ($6,500) is goal dependent but also cheap for his upside, as he has the best anytime goal scorer odds among players not from Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Gerard Deulofeu, WAT at SOU ($6,600): Deulofeu seems to have a split of set pieces with defender Jose Holebas ($4,800), but he's enough of an attacker to get serious consideration in cash games because of his lower price. Facing a Southampton side that's conceded the most crosses, second-most chances, second-most shots and third-most shots on goal, Deulofeu figures to be very active in the attack even without relying on corners. Ignoring the top three teams on the slate feels a bit nuts, especially considering their strong goal odds, but McNeil and Deulofeu provide some salary savings to spend up at other spots if you don't want to rely on goals. The pay-down options further down get pretty sketchy quickly because those players are facing either Liverpool, Tottenham or Chelsea, sides that can be leaky but also ones that should control significant possession.
Christian Eriksen, TOT v. BOU ($8,400): Eriksen didn't start either of new manager Jose Mourinho's first two games in charge, but he was a quick sub Tuesday against Olympiacos and was excellent, finishing with one assist on three chances created, two shots, eight crosses and a tackle won for 18.3 fantasy points. It's really hard to trust Eriksen given how little playing time he's gotten this season, not to mention that he hasn't always been on set pieces even when he's in the game, but the matchup is firmly in Spurs' favor. Otherwise, paying up for Chelsea's Mason Mount ($9,200) is an option, though it's a very steep price for a player without a monopoly of set pieces.
Ryan Fraser, BOU at TOT ($6,600): There are a few midfielders in Fraser's price range who are worth considering, but he stands out because he's able to do more than just take set pieces. That's pretty much a shot at Luka Milivojevic ($6,700), who has the easier matchup away to Burnley, and the biggest difference between the two is that Fraser tends to get his floor points from attacking stats like shots, chances created and fouls drawn while Milivojevic supplements his crosses with tackles won and interceptions. Spurs have been pretty leaky in Mourinho's first two games, enough so that I am okay with Fraser at this price. If you don't like either of these guys, James Ward-Prowse ($7,400) has a great matchup at home against Watford, though the price separation is a bit much for those who want to pay up at certain spots. Ward-Prowse has been good, mostly because of crosses from set pieces and shots, but it's just tough to get overly excited when the slightly cheaper guys probably offer just as much floor.
Harry Winks, TOT v. BOU ($3,400): Winks has been Spurs' primary set-piece taker since Mourinho took over, and while he missed out on many once Eriksen came into Wednesday's match, he figures to be over corners again if Eriksen doesn't start. He's been crossing more in open play too, which certainly helps his floor, and with Spurs a big favorite at home and Winks with a very reasonable price, he could be popular if Eriksen is on the bench. Otherwise, Brady is a decent option playing against Crystal Palace, though $4,600 isn't all that cheap.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, LIV v. BHA ($7,300): Alexander-Arnold is the second-highest scoring player in the Premier League, and no player has scored more floor points. He has yet to score fewer than 7.3 floor points in a start this season, and his role on set pieces and active open-play crossing ensures he creates chances. If there's a small knock to his fantasy value it's that he doesn't shoot much, particularly in open play, but we also have to remember he's a right-back. And speaking of his defender position, he comes in with the highest clean sheet odds on the slate. He will be super popular, and his high price isn't likely to push people away in cash games or GPPs (he makes more sense to fade in the latter, obviously).
Jose Holebas, WAT at SOU ($4,800): Holebas' days as Watford's only corner taker seems to be over, but he is still getting enough opportunities to warrant consideration, especially against Southampton, who have conceded the most crosses among teams on the slate. Holebas has actually been crossing more in open play this season, so while he may not have every dead-ball opportunity, all is not lost with his fantasy floor. There's a pretty big gap between Alexander-Arnold and Holebas salary-wise, and the players in between them have solid floors and even some upside, as the Tottenham and Chelsea fullbacks have shown strong fantasy scores throughout the season. You could easily make the argument that they're all better than the midfielders in their salary range, making this a weird slate where you would certainly consider playing five defenders if there were defender/midfielder spots.
Charlie Taylor, BUR v. CRY ($3,700): The Burnley fullbacks continue to be underpriced, though Phil Bardsley at $4,300 still feels a bit nuts. Instead, Taylor is $600 cheaper, and while his floor hasn't been as high, Bardsley's six fouls drawn last week were surely an outlier. There can't be high expectations here, though Taylor at least faces a Crystal Palace side that's conceded the second-most crosses among teams on the slate, and Burnley's clean sheet odds are the same as Tottenham's.
Ben Foster, WAT at SOU ($4,400): Avoiding the three big favorites on the slate, if you want to pay down, leaves you with Foster away to Southampton, who have scored multiple goals just twice this season, including last weekend away to Arsenal (of course). Foster has had some up-and-down performances this season, but that surely shouldn't sway you one way or the other because of the variance in goalkeeper scoring overall. Southampton put only three shots on goal in each of their previous three games before last weekend, but Watford's defense is porous enough to allow more shots to get toward Foster; let's just hope he stops them.

Pitching and defense rule the weekend for the Santa Barbara Junior Foresters 14u Baseball Club as they won the Xtreme Diamond Sports Central Coast Fall Championship at Bob Kildee Park in Camarillo this past weekend.
The Foresters beat Oaks Baseball 4-3 in the Championship Game. Oaks got off to a quick start against Junior Forester starting pitcher, Colter Nisbet, plating two runs in the top of the first inning and another in the second. The Foresters scraped back for one run in the bottom of the second on a single by Nisbet, a passed ball, a groundout and an error.
The middle innings proceeded to be a pitcher?s duel between Oaks, Nisbet and Nick Baker who relieved Nisbet in the top of the fifth inning.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, having only managed the one hit, the Foresters centerfielder, Jed Donelan, who had earlier robbed Oaks? catcher of a homerun with a sprinting, leaping catch in the fifth inning, lined a one-out double into centerfield. Third baseman, Evan Kling, worked a seven pitch walk, bringing the man of the hour, Nisbet to the plate with a chance to pull the Foresters even. Nisbet laced the first pitch he saw into the right-center gap for a triple, scoring Donelan and Kling. As Nisbet slid into third base to beat the relay from the outfield, the throw glanced off of his back and out of play. The umpire immediately signaled the play dead and directed Nisbet home with the winning run.
Baker finished off Oaks baseball with a one, two, three top of the seventh, including a emphatic strikeout to end the game.
?Great pitching,? said Foresters Manager, Casey Cloud. ?Excellent defense all weekend? and timely hitting. It?s clich?d, but in this case absolutely true. We hung in there against a great, dominant pitcher. We had to scrape for the first run. I?m proud of the boys. Proud of how they played all weekend. They handled themselves well, stayed in control and just played steady, good baseball.?
The Junior Foresters earned the top seed in the tournament by winning two pool play games. The Foresters beat Oaks Baseball 3-2 behind six shutout innings from Gato Monroe and three RBI from Sam Drew and also beat Santa Clarita Centennials 4-0 behind Trey Tank?s strong five innings on the mound.
In the semi-finals, The Junior Foresters walloped the Newbury Park Thrashers 10-1 behind another strong outing from Ryan Fisk.
The Junior Foresters were managed this weekend by Casey Cloud and coached by Bill Pintard and Cody Evans.

Buying gold bullion is a good way to diversify your assets out of fiat currencies. However, your home country's world view may be putting your gold investments at risk. American gold buyers, in particular, may be taking an overly regional approach to buying gold bullion that could prove detrimental.
So don't buy gold American Eagles until you read this.
At Nomad Capitalist, we discuss buying gold as a way to internationalize your assets. While we do advocate diversification (Gerald Celente once told me to buy gold and "keep it in a coffee can in your mother-in-law's basement"), that gold diversification should in our opinion include gold bullion stored offshore, either in a private vault or with a trusted broker.
The 5 Best gold bullion coins for internationalization
5. US American Eagle
While US Gold Eagles are popular in the United States, they are not so common overseas. For example, they can be nearly impossible to find in Hong Kong and Singapore, two of the world's largest gold markets.
In Europe's gold havens of Switzerland and Austria, the Austrian Philharmonic is preferred to US gold bullion.
The US American Eagle gold piece is 22-karat gold like a Krugerrand; the other bullion coins on this list are 24-karat and thus smaller.
While US American Eagles are easy to buy and store domestically, they are less in favor among gold-hungry investors in places like China, India, Vietnam, and elsewhere.
4. South American Krugerrand
The Krugerrand was the original bullion coin, and while it has had a colorful history, it remains a popular choice for gold investors today. First minted nearly fifty years ago in an effort to market abundant South African gold, the bullion coins are .9167 gold – the same as US Gold Eagles – and have a total weight of about 1.1 ounces.
It was the Krugerrand that took the idea of gold coins as legal tender to the mainstream. Today, there are more ounces of gold bullion coins held in Krugerrand than all other gold coins internationally.
3. Australian Kangaroo
Australia's proximity to Asia has made their gold coins a top choice for Asian investors who don't trust coins like the gold Chinese Pandas.
Known as Australian Gold Nuggets, they are one of only a few gold bullion coins to change their design each year. Australian Kangaroos are .9999 gold, and the coins were featured in international news in 2011 when the Perth Mint created the world's first one-ton gold coin.
2. Austrian Philharmonic
Austrian Philharmonics are beautiful bullion coins, both in gold and silver. And while Philharmonics haven't caught on as much in Asia, they are widely accepted through Europe and the Americas. It's easy to buy Philharmonics in Central Europe and then store them in a place like Das Safe in Vienna right around the corner.
Premiums on Philharmonics are often in line with those on Maple Leafs. While Philharmonics are widely available from national dealers in the United States, they are less popular than Gold Eagles and Maple Leafs, which makes them one of the best bullion coins for internationalization due to their contrarian status in the insulated US market.
1. Canadian Maple Leaf
The Maple Leaf is truly the "gold standard" among the best gold bullion coins. Canadian Maples are traded as one of the few one-ounce, mint-issued gold coins in places like Hong Kong. Maple Leafs were introduced twenty-five years ago as the second minted bullion coin, at a time when the South African Krugerrand was difficult to find due to the apartheid.
That head start may have had a big impact, as Maple Leafs are widely accepted as the most international gold bullion coin. As one of the purest gold regular-issue bullion coins, Maple Leafs have a gold content of .9999. The Royal Canadian Mint is more internationally respected than the US Mint, which makes Maple Leafs a great addition to your portfolio.
Of course, this list of best bullion coins is the opinion of the author. However, thinking internationally rather than just domestically can greatly improve your ability to preserve your wealth, including your gold investments.
If you want to internationalize your gold and bullion holdings, BullionStar in Singapore now offers two years of free storage on gold and silver purchased from them. Premiums are a bit higher than discount gold brokers in The Land of the Free but among the lowest in Asia. Singapore is one of my favorite places to store assets (of course, do your own due diligence).
