An experiment was conducted to assess the impact of increasing levels of supplemental soybean meal (SBM; 45.7% CP) in cattle consuming tropical grass hay (Panicum maximum cultivar Gatton; 7.0% CP and 81.8% NDF) and drinking low salt water (LS) or high salt water (HS). Six ruminally fistulated beef steers (BW = 375 ± 43 kg) were used in a 6-treatment, 4-period crossover experiment. Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 3 factorial, with 2 levels salt in the water (LS and HS: 786 and 6,473 mg/kg of total dissolved solids [TDS], respectively) and 3 levels of SBM (0, 0.2, and 0.4% BW/d). After 15 d of adaptation to treatments, periods consisted of 5 d for intake and digestibility determination, 1 d for monitoring ruminal fermentation, 1 d for ruminal evacuation, and 1 d for blood sampling. Supplemental SBM × water quality interactions were significant (P < 0.05) for most measures of intake, except for total tract digestible OM intake (P = 0.38) and total tract digestible NDF intake (TTDNDFI; P = 0.32). At greater levels of SBM, forage OM intake, NDF intake, and water intake seemed to reach a plateau in LS while this was not observed in HS. Total tract digestible OM intake increased linearly (P = 0.01) and TTDNDFI tended to increase (P = 0.09) in response to increased SBM. Digestibility of OM and NDF were not affected by treatment (P > 0.21). Passage rate of acid detergent insoluble ash linearly increased (P < 0.01) in response to SBM, although it was not affected by water quality (P = 0.98). Total VFA concentrations and ruminal pH were not affected (P > 0.60 and P > 0.31, respectively) by treatment. Ruminal ammonia N levels were linearly increased by SBM supplementation (P < 0.01) but were not affected by water quality (P = 0.25). However, ruminal ammonia tended (P = 0.09) to be greater in HS at 0.2% of SBM supplementation. No interaction was observed for plasma urea N (PUN; P = 0.20). Plasma urea N was affected by SBM supplementation (P = 0.05) and water quality (P < 0.01). However, PUN did not differ for 0.4% SBM supplementation (P = 0.30) either at LS or HS treatments. In conclusion, a high level of SBM supplementation (0.4% BW) counteracted the detrimental effect of high TDS in drinking water on low-quality forage consumption by cattle.

Measurements of the chlorophyll fluorescence is used to examine the photochemical efficiency of plants a wide range of environmental conditions. The quantum yield of non-cyclic electron transport is directly proportional to the efficiency of excitation of the reaction centers of Photosystem II (PS II) and can be determined by indexes such as Fv / Fm and PI abs. The aim of this study was to determine the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII and photosynthetic potential in plants treated with low temperatures. The experiment was conducted at the Estación Experimental Agropecuaria (EEA) INTA y la Facultad de Agronomía y Agroindustria de la Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero (UNSE). Treatments consisted of melon plants (cv. Sweet Ball) without (control) and with low night temperatures between 10°C and 0ºC to -3ºC to 0°C. Photochemical efficiency (Fv / Fm), photosynthetic potential index (PI abs) and in turn MDA concentration increased.

What is the Bahá'í Faith?
Who is Bahá'u'lláh?
What is Bahá'u'lláh's message?
What does the Bahá'í Faith have in common with other faiths?
The Bahá'ís are members of a global community that believes in one loving Creator, one unfolding religion and one human family. The Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. Since its inception in Persia (now Iran) in 1844, it has grown to more than five million followers in 236 countries and territories. Bahá'ís believe that there is one loving, all-powerful and unknowable divine Source for the world's great religions, and that all humanity is one family.
The religion's founder, Bahá'u'lláh, whose name means "The Glory of God," was born into a Persian noble family in 1817. Although born into wealth and luxury, He dedicated His life to feeding and caring for the poor in His native city of Tehran. Bahá'u'lláh announced that He was the Messenger of God for this historical age, sent to unify mankind. He spent the next 40 years as a prisoner and exile, first to Iraq, then Turkey, and finally to Palestine (now Israel), where His earthly life ended in 1892.
The central theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity in all its diversity of culture, color, language and creed is one single race, and that the day has come for the world to unify into one global society. In spite of the harsh treatment He received at the hands of the Persian and Turkish governments, He admonished all people to be faithful citizens of whatever country where they reside, to uphold justice and to "possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart."
"A new life," Bahá'u'lláh declared, "is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth."
Bahá'ís view the world's major religions as a part of a single, progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity. Bahá'u'lláh is recognized as the most recent in a line of Divine Messengers that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. While reaffirming the core ethical principles common to all religions and easily recognizable to the followers of all faiths, Bahá'u'lláh also revealed new laws and teachings to lay the foundations of a global civilization. For example, Bahá'u'lláh boldly asserted that men and women are equal, and emphasized the importance of educating girls in order to unleash the as-yet untapped potential of women in society, and equip them to be the first teachers of their children.
Who was The Báb?
Born in Shiraz, a city in southern Iran, on 20 October 1819, the Báb (the Gate) was the symbolic gate between past ages of prophecy and a new age of fulfillment for humanity. His primary purpose was to awaken the people to the fact that a new period in human history had begun, one which would witness the unification of the entire human race and the emergence of a world civilization of spiritual and material prosperity. This great day would be established through the influence of a divinely inspired Educator, whom the Báb referred to as "He Whom God shall make manifest." It was His own mission, the Báb declared, to herald the coming of this promised Manifestation of God. The Báb explained that the new Manifestation would usher in an age of peace and justice that was the hope of every longing heart and the promise of every religion. The Báb instructed His followers to spread this message throughout the country and to prepare people for this long-awaited day.

Auto Trader Retail Price Index | January 2021
USED PRICE GROWTH REMAINS ROBUST AS RETAILERS PAUSE REPRICING
January marks 10 months of consecutive price growth for used cars, up 7.4% year-on-year
On average 2,834 retailers made price changes in January, which was 8% fewer than the same period last year.
Visits to Auto Trader increased over 4% year-on-year in January, with 60.1 million visits.
According to the latest results from the Auto Trader Retail Price Index, which is based on daily pricing analysis of circa 900,000 vehicles, the average price of a used car in January was £14,155: a year-on-year (YoY) and like-for-like increase of 7.4%. It's the tenth consecutive month of price growth and marks a confident start to the new year.
The ongoing strength of pricing has been driven, in part, by ongoing supply constraints in the market, as well as the solid levels of consumer demand that remain despite the current lockdown restrictions. Last month, Auto Trader recorded circa 60.1 million cross platform visits to its marketplace, which is an increase of over 4% on January 2020. On average, there were over 1.3 million unique users on Auto Trader every day over the month.
Retailer pricing behaviour indicative of a paused market
The relatively robust health of the market, which according to Auto Trader analysis[1] shows businesses were trading at 60% - 70% of normal volumes in January, was reflected in the pricing behaviour of retailers last month. Based on the number of those making price changes and the value of their adjustments, it's consistent with the same trends observed in lockdown 2, and largely indicative of a market which has been paused.
The average daily reduction of pricing at £303 was only marginally lower than last year. In the last week we saw the average daily volumes of stock being repriced was 16,398. This is £377 less than the previous week but £2,757 more than we saw at the same time last year. We are seeing a higher volume of total stock on site when compared to last year so we would expect the overall volumes to be slightly higher than what we saw each day in 2020. On average 2,834 retailers made price changes in January, which was 8% fewer than the same period last year.
Commenting on the results, Auto Trader's director of data and insight, Richard Walker, said: "From what we're observing in the market, the current lockdown is following very similar patterns to what we saw during November's. Price growth is strong, retailers are holding firm, and although sales have no doubt been hit in the short term due to the restrictions in place, all lead indicators of consumer demand remain robust. Along with the resilience and solid sales performance we're seeing among our retailer partners, it gives us confidence we'll see a quick return to health once the restrictions lift. And with the same demand and supply dynamics at play, the data doesn't suggest any reason for big price corrections or adjustments in the coming months."
ICE and electric price performance
Looking at the data on a micro level, the average price of a used petrol car in January was £12,821, which was a 6.9% YoY increase on January 2020. It's a significant easing on the 8.1% growth recorded in December and is due to the current over balance of supply in the market, which increased 11.9% YoY last month, compared to demand, which fell -6.2%.
Whilst both supply and demand for used diesels fell in January, down -7.4% and -8.6% respectively, like-for-like prices continue to hold strong, recording a growth of 8.8% YoY, dipping very slightly on December's 9% YoY. The average sticker price for a used diesel was £14,700.
In contrast to their ICE counterparts, electric vehicles (EV) continue to record strong levels of consumer demand. Indeed, demand for premium[2] EVs increased 65.6% YoY in January. However, with a much stronger level of supply in the market, up 250%, prices contracted, albeit marginally at -0.9% (£46,226). Whilst demand for volume[3] EVs was slightly more conservative, up 28.5% YoY, the gap between levels of supply was significantly smaller at 109.6%, helping to drive average prices up 10.4% last month (£19,385).
Sue Robinson, NFDA Chief Executive, added: "It is encouraging that average used car prices remain strong indicating a healthy market with strong consumer demand despite the lockdown, which is also reflected by retailers' general optimism about car sales in 2021. The robust interest in electric vehicles is positive: with a maturing second-hand market, the improving charging infrastructure, and retailers working hard to inform their customers, there are reasons to be confident this trend will continue."
About the Retail Price Index
The Auto Trader Retail Price Index is published monthly and provides an overview of the latest price and search data from our marketplace. Our team of data scientists monitor hundreds of thousands of vehicles each day, including 90,000 vehicle updates and an average of 19,000 vehicles added or removed from Auto Trader. Coupled with data from circa 450,000 trade car listings every day, as well as additional retailer forecourts and website data (OEM, fleet and leasing disposal prices and pricing data from over 3,000 car dealership websites and data from major auction houses across the UK), ensuring the Index is an accurate reflection of the live retail market.
As of March 2020, the methodology for the Auto Trader Retail Price Index was adapted based on re-segmentation of our data. We have regrouped car segments into more meaningful classifications of the different types of vehicles that consumers buy, from an even greater depth of data than before. As we now have a more detailed dataset, we have restated figures for prior periods to reflect the change in methodology.

Home Pensions Governance/legislation B.C.'s amended PfAD to provide more flexibility to target-benefit pension plans: experts
British Columbia's amended definition of provision for adverse deviation will provide additional flexibility to the province's target-benefit pension plans, according to experts.
The changes to the PfAD's definition lowers the minimum funding requirement to 7.5 per cent and allows a supplementary percentage identified by the target-benefit plan administrator or board as appropriate to achieve the expectations for the PfAD.
All plan funding policies and actuarial valuation reports where the effective dates are on or after Dec. 31, 2022 are expected to reflect the new definition. Administrators are expected to file a copy of the funding policy with the valuation report.
Read: B.C. amending definition of PfAD for pension plans with target-benefit provisions
Since 2015, when the province introduced target-benefit provisions into its Pension Benefits Standard Act, stakeholders have raised concerns about the initial size and volatility of the PfAD funding requirements due to fluctuation based on interest rates and asset allocations. Stakeholders also said the formula unfairly penalized plans that adopt certain investment strategies due to asset classification. Target-benefit plan administrators, in particular, found the previous PfAD regime made it challenging to plan on a long-term basis and reduced their flexibility to make appropriate decisions based on the unique characteristics of their plans.
Greg Heise, a partner at George & Bell Consulting Inc. and a member of the working group that helped develop the amended PfAD definition, believes the changes will provide added flexibility and allow plans to adapt to changing circumstances. He says the working group, the regulator and the government didn't want to constrain plan administrators' investment strategies.
"What I love about these new rules is they allow each plan with its unique set of circumstances to develop their own unique solution. The old rules . . . very much changed the PfAD depending on the asset mix. We don't have that now in B.C. That will be left up to the plan sponsor or board to decide, so that problem has, for the most part, been addressed."
Read: B.C.'s DB pension solvency changes to take effect Dec. 31
Euan Reid, a principal at Eckler Ltd., agrees, noting the amended PfAD definition addresses concerns raised by the industry that the PfAD was too high, volatile and inflexible. "I would expect to see PfADs that are lower and more predictable going forward and reflect individual plans' different circumstances."
However, he adds there's still uncertainty in what exactly that will look like, since regulators won't know until the changes are put into practice. "The regulations and the guidance . . . give plans lots of flexibility in what we do, but exactly what approaches will be acceptable to the regulator? We won't know until plans start submitting new funding policies and filing valuations with the new PfAD included. There's lots of work to be done interpreting these guidelines and figuring out which approaches are going to be best for each plan's circumstances."
Still, Reid believes the amendments offer a good opportunity for pension plan sponsors, trustees and their advisors to reflect on the specific risks they're facing and to consider how their investment strategies interact with their funding strategies.

Q: How does type ahead in ElasticSearch work on multiple words and partial text match I would like to explain with an example.
Documents of my ElasticSearch dataset has a field 'product_name'.
One document has product_name = 'Anmol Twinz Biscuit"
When the user types (a)'Anmol Twin' or (b)'Twin Anmol' or (c)'Twinz Anmol' or (d) Anmol Twinz, I want this specific record returned as search result.
However, this works only if I specify the complete words in the search query. Partial matches are not working. Thus (a) & (b) is not returning the desired result.

Mistake in query / mapping?

A: I just created the index with your mapping and indexed ES doc given in your example and just changed the operator in your query from and to or and it's giving me all result for all 4 query combinations.
Find below my query
{
  "_source": "product_name",
  "query": {
    "multi_match" : {
       "type":   "best_fields",
      "query":    "Anmol Twinz",
      "fields": [ "product_name", "product_company" ],
      "operator":   "or" --> changed it to `or`
    }
  }
}

With and operator your query tries to find both terms in your search query, some of which are not complete token like Twin in ES, hence you were not getting results for them, when you change your operator to or then if any of the token present, it will match.
Note:- if you want to match on partial tokens like Twin or Twi then, you need to use the n-gram tokens as explained in official ES doc https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-ngram-tokenizer.html  and its a completely different design.

The cartoon's title is a play on Tugboat Annie, and is the only cartoon in the Warner Bros. series to bear Granny's name.

It joined Guided Muscle and The Grey Hounded Hare as the cartoons featured on the final episode of ABC's The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show on September 2, 2000.

Plot
In the opening scene, Granny and Tweety are happily piloting a rented tugboat in a harbor, singing a kiddie-song duet about the carefree joys of their activity. It is the only scene in which Granny appears, as the rest of the cartoon is devoted to Sylvester's latest attempts to catch and eat Tweety, which begins when, after failing to grab a fish by hiding in a fisherman's basket (the fisherman caught a crab instead, which Sylvester gets attacked by), he sees the boat carrying the canary chug past.

Sylvester's attempts, all unsuccessful, include the following:
 Using a wooden rowboat to get to the tug. Tweety drops anchor in the boat's hull, sinking Sylvester (though he comes out onto the beach without the boat but still rowing with the oars).
 Using an inflatable raft, which is deflated by a dart thrown by Tweety ("Hey, puddy tat! Wook what I found! Here, you can have it!"), sinking Sylvester once again.
 Attempting to jump off a bridge, which is mistimed, as Sylvester lands inside the smokestack, leaving him frantically trying to put out his now-on fire backside.
 A follow-up attempt from another bridge to parachute onto the boat's deck ("Oh, that bad ol' puddy tat! He never give up!") results in a jammed pack, which only opens after Sylvester sinks to the bottom of the river ("Aww, the poor puddy tat. Got himself all soaking wet."). He subsequently uses a pipe as a snorkel to walk on the sea floor to the boat. Unfortunately, a seagull finds Sylvester's pipe the perfect resting place, blocking the airway making Sylvester unable to breathe and turning him blue; gasping for air the cat rushes back to shore, he starts panting and finds the seagull laid an egg in his mouth. The frightened seagull flees as Sylvester angrily throws the egg at it; he misses and the egg hits him in the face.
 Driving a motorboat, but Sylvester instead goes into the rapids and over a waterfall. All the time, the motor fails to start, and when it does, Sylvester pounds it to submission.
 A lasso ("That puddy tat think he a cowboy!"), which instead grabs the antenna of a speedboat. Sylvester decides to show off several waterskiing tricks ... until the inattentive puddy smashes into a pole. As he floats upside-down, a fish gurgles Tweety's signature line: "I tawt I taw a puddy tat." The cartoon ends just after Sylvester fails to grab the fish.

Tip: To see Abram's analysis of Winnicott's theories…
In-depth analysis of Winnicott's psychoanalytic theorization was conducted by Jan Abrams in her work The Language of Winnicott. You can access it directly by clicking here.

Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. XII, 1964: On the Identity Crisis in American Psychoanalysis. Maxwell Gitelson. Pp. 451-476.
This timely paper examines crucial issues confronting psychoanalysis: its adoption by American psychiatry as a dynamic and therapeutic tool, the growing criticisms of its not being more therapeutically effective in all areas of human behavior, and finally, its struggle to maintain its identity in the face of splinter movements. Psychoanalysis is a science and the analytic paradigm was established by Freud to meet a crisis in the field of human behavior as the theories then in vogue were inadequate to the task of understanding or treating mental illness.
Gitelson doubts that another crisis now exists and believes that our current period in analysis is comparable to the 'normal period' in any science during which time there is further working through, elaboration, and corroboration of the paradigm. He cautions against too much therapeutic zeal in analysis, a trend which might tend to dilute its investigative powers. The classic technique must be retained in order to pursue the scientific investigation of human behavior. A reappraisal of the qualifications for future analysts is also suggested; and these should not necessarily be based on a medical or psychiatric background.

Anti-LGBTQ Preacher Wants to Press Hot Gay Buttons
Posted by by D'Anne Witkowski January 22, 2022
Screenshot via Youtube
As we face 2022 there are some hot button questions that I know you're dying to get answers to:
Will COVID-19 ever end?
Will U.S. Democracy be trashed like a used surgical mask before the year is through?
Will the earth be swallowed up by fire and/or water and/or mudslides due to climate change?
Will conservatives purge libraries of books with LGBTQ+ content and burn them in a pile while crying about how Marjorie Taylor Green getting kicked off of Twitter is an egregious act of censorship?
Will transgender people continue to be attacked by state legislatures for daring to exist?
Is homosexual promiscuity worse than heterosexual promiscuity?
Wait, where did that last question come from? I didn't approve that.
Ah, I see, that question comes to us courtesy of Pure Life Ministries Founder and President Steve Gallagher who insists in a recent post to his website that "this is one of many hot-button questions in our day and age"
Is it, though? Really? I'm going to go with no.
But, of course, it's not a serious question. Even as he sets up his post with, "Many years of well-intentioned Christian activism against homosexuality in our country has left the gay community with the impression that Christians are self-righteous and intolerant," as if he isn't about to display said self-righteous intolerance.
Let me point out that "promiscuity" is being used here to indicate that having sex with multiple partners is a bad thing, which is not a universal belief at all. So the very premise of his argument is garbage.
Anyway, he gives four reasons for why promiscuity is worse when the gays do it. The first reason? The Bible says it's bad. (Again, an interpretation that is not universal.)
Second, it's icky. "While it is sinful for a guy and a girl to engage in extramarital sexual intercourse, their behavior fits within the parameters of 'normal' sex — something that cannot be said of sodomy and the like," he writes.
"And the like" is doing an awful lot of work in that sentence. Again, shaming people for sexual desire is wrong, and that's exactly what he's doing by calling the kind of sex HE has (or is claiming to have) normal, implying that everything else is not normal.
Gallagher's third reason belies a very deep (no doubt deliberate) misunderstanding of identity and culture. He, again, positions himself as the default, which causes him to ignore the fact that he, too, has a sexuality and culture that deeply informs his understanding of his own identity. You know, like how white people think about race only when it comes to non-white people, not themselves.
"[Heterosexual] behavior affects a person's perception of himself," Gallagher writes. "The [heterosexual] movement has spawned an entire community and culture within our nation—complete with its own Christian denominations."
Note that I replaced the word "homosexual" above with "heterosexual." Heterosexuality, and the gender binary while we're at it, shape folks like Gallagher hard whether he acknowledges it or not.
The fourth and final thing is that homosexuality makes people sad.
"In my years of ministering in the realm of sexual addiction, it has been clear to me that homosexual activity brings about emotional suffering and a spiritual corruption that runs very deeply," he writes. "It doesn't take much to see how deeply gays have been scarred as a result of the course their lives have taken."
A couple of things: gays going to someone like Gallagher for ministry are definitely in a bad place. It's not because they're gay, it's because they've accepted Gallagher's narrative that they are shameful and bad. That's going to bum anyone out.
But it also speaks very loudly that he says he's not getting the same suffering and guilt from heterosexual men, even though sexual assault is rampant and we live in a culture that celebrates the sexual conquest of women by men, consent be damned. Our culture is deeply sick when it comes to how we define men and women and our rigid gender expectations. The abuse of women — sexually, physically, mentally, emotionally — should bother straight men a whole heck of a lot more than it does.
You don't have to look much further than Donald Trump's "grab 'em by the pussy" comment. We let that guy be the most powerful man in the world. In fact, did you know that Trump "spawned an entire community and culture within our nation—complete with its own Christian denominations?"
It really is one of many hot-button questions in our day and age.

Q: Run code continuously online to update my firebase for my flutter app I'm developing an app that communicates with a soccer API ,I don't want my data to be updated only when the user is using my app but I want to run code continuously online separately and get data from the soccer APIs , process it  and update my firebase database so the users find already processed data, I did some research and found Cloud functions but that requires an event to trigger if I am not mistaken , I am new to this so forgive me if the answer is obvious, I need something that doesn't need to be triggered but will be running and updating data, is there a way to achieve this with my flutter app, thanks

A: You can use scheduled functions in cloud functions, and it costs only $0.10 per month for the schedule trigger. Notice per month, in total, not 10 cents for every time it runs.
You can schedule it to run whenever you want, and after the data is written to your firestore database, you can use that as a trigger, which makes sense.

ABRAMOVICH PAYS TRIBUTE TO A CHELSEA LEGEND
Posted By: VICTOR N May 20, 2017
Photo: Mirrorpix
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has paid tribute to Chelsea legend Eddie McCreadie after his shock return to Stamford Bridge after 40 YEARS.
McCreadie played for Chelsea for over a decade, between 1962 and 1973 and made 331 appearances for the Blues. The legendary left-back became Chelsea manager two years after that and lasted for only two years as Chelsea boss, but has not been back to Stamford Bridge since he quit as manager following a row in 1977
He will appear at special function at a book launch to celebrate his two years managing the club.
Abramovich has now expressed his personal "gratitude" for everything McCreadie had done for the club both as a player and manager.
The manager of the Under the Bridge venue told them: "Mr Abramovich would like to thank you and others involved for co-ordinating this special event and extend his gratitude to Eddie's services for Chelsea.
"All costs associated will be waived."
The book "Eddie Mac Eddie Mac: Life and times at Chelsea under Eddie McCreadie" is about his two year-spell managing the club.

Joseph Napoleon Guyon (en anishinaabemowin: O-Gee-Chidah; White Earth, Minnesota; 26 de noviembre de 1892-Louisville, Kentucky; 27 de noviembre de 1971) fue un jugador profesional de fútbol americano para varios equipos en los primeros años de la National Football League. Fue seleccionado al Salón de la Fama del Fútbol Americano Profesional en 1966.

Primeros años
Fue un amerindio de la tribu ojibwa (chippewa) y nació en la Reservación India de White Earth en White Earth, Minnesota. Solo estudió hasta el sexto grado.

Carrera en el fútbol americano

Como jugador

Nivel universitario
Guyon asistió y jugó fútbol americano universitario en la escuela Carlisle Indian Industrial School de 1912 a 1913 bajo el liderazgo del entrenador Pop Warner.  Mientras estudió en Carlisle, esta escuela tuvo marcas de 12-1-1 y 11-2-1, anotando 504 puntos en un solo año, y 295 en el otro, y Guyon tuvo el honor de ser el halfback del segundo equipo All-America de Walter Camp.  De 1914 a 1916, asistió a la Keewatin Academy en Chicago, Illinois.

Guyon entonces decidió asistir a Georgia Tech y jugar con el equipo de fútbol americano de esa universidad de 1917 a 1918 bajo la tutela del head coach John Heisman. En su estancia en el Georgia Tech, este equipo tuvo marcas de 9-0 y 6-1, anotando 491 puntos en su primer año y 462 en el segundo, siendo honrado en el primer equipo All-America de Frank Menke en la posición de offensive tackle.  En contra de Vanderbilt en 1917, Guyon corrió en 12 ocasiones para 344 yardas.  Georgia Tech fue coronado como el campeón nacional de los Estados Unidos en 1917.  De 1914 a 1918, Georgia Tech tuvo una racha de 33 partidos sin perder de manera consecutiva, durante los cuales en cuatro partidos Georgia Tech anotó 222, 128, 119 y 118 puntos.

Nivel profesional
Guyon fue contratado para jugar de manera profesional por los Canton Bulldogs en 1919.  Después de que la NFL fuera organizada en 1920, jugó por siete temporadas más con los equipos Washington Senators, Cleveland Indians, Oorang Indians, Rock Island Independents, Kansas City Cowboys y New York Giants.  De 1919 a 1924, fue compañero de otro halfback muy notable de origen amerindio, Jim Thorpe, excepto por el año de 1921. Finalmente jugaron en equipos diferentes cuando en 1924 Guyon dejó a los Independents para ir a jugar a Kansas City.  Permaneció con los Cowboys en 1925 mientras Thorpe fue a parar a los Giants.

Entonces en 1927, Guyon se unió a los Giants ayudándolos a ganar el Campeonato de 1927 de la NFL.

Como entrenador
Guyon fue entrenador a nivel de secudarias en la escuela St. Xavier High School en Louisville, Kentucky de 1931 a 1933, finalizando con una marca de 16-7-2.

Carrera en el béisbol

Como jugador
Guyon bateó un promedio de 0,340 en tres años consecutivos para los Louisville Colonels, un equipo de ligas menores. Jugó como outfielder, extendiendo su carrera de 1920 hasta 1936 con una pausa durante el año en que fue entrenador de fútbol americano.

Como entrenador
Guyon fue el entrenador del equipo de béisbol de los Clemson Tigers de la Universidad Clemson de 1928 a 1931. También fue el mánager de los Anderson Electrics en la Palmetto League en 1931, los Asheville Tourists en 1932 y los Fieldale Towlers en 1936.

Fue seleccionado al Salón de la Fama del Fútbol Americano Universitario en 1971 y al Salón de la Fama del Fútbol Americano Profesional en 1966. Murió el 27 de noviembre de 1971.
