Bama fans aren't sad to see him go from what I've seen, because what was supposed to be a huge year for him and trip to the NFL, turned into a very disappointing season riddled with being in the doghouse and failure to make plays consistently on the field. He had a lot of half-assed routes/blocks and was pretty bad in the national championship game Monday night. Had reported maturity and effort issues at Bama. It's good news to read he also has a relationship with Cheetah.īillingsley would be an awesome weapon for us if we can get him to play with the right kind of effort and consistency. He clearly liked VT because we made it to the final stretch for him in his recruitment out of HS. He was originally committed to OU before flipping to Bama.Īmeer Speed is definitely an interesting one. He might be a better fit in a defense like ours, but I would guess without inside info that he might give a long look at OU and playing for a Venables defense if he wanted to change up styles. Drew Sanders is in the portal because Dallas Turner is unlikely to give that job back. True freshman 3rd stringer Dallas Turner took over after Sanders suffered a hand injury and was pretty damn elite as a pass rusher, finishing with 10 TFL's and 8.5 sacks while only starting the last half-ish of the season. Sanders was good in coverage and solid against the run, but wasn't the true edge rusher that they prefer at the position, at least not yet. He was more of a true SAM in Bama's system, while their usage of OLB's now is more double Jack LB's than using a true SAM.ĭrew took over the starting role for Bama this year opposite Will Anderson after starter Chris Allen went down.

“Their leaders might not have ordered it, but they were aware of it and did not stop it - and Serb commanders have been convicted in such cases,” said Vukelic, 46, who fled Croatia with his family just before the operation and now lives in Serbia. “Most Croat soldiers didn’t commit crimes, but some did and Croatia knows it,” said Zeljko Vukelic, a Croatian Serb who fought with separatist forces, referring to several hundred Serb civilians allegedly killed by Croats during and after Operation Storm, when thousands of Serb homes were looted and burned. Less than a quarter of Serbs who fled Croatia in 1995 have returned to their former homes, and Serbia regards Operation Storm as an act of “ethnic cleansing” supported by the West and led by political and military chiefs who have never been punished. We wanted to stay, but we had no choice but to leave.” We didn’t have much time to prepare, and didn’t know where we were going, but we joined the huge lines of cars and trucks and tractors. “When we got there it was clear that something big was happening and that lots of Serbs were already on the move. 4 we heard bombs and shells exploding, and went out to a nearby village where my grandmother lived,” she said. Raskovic recalled how, at the age of eight, she had stuffed some things into a rucksack and set off with her parents into the unknown. Some Croats are uncomfortable with the militaristic, religious and jingoistic flavor of the events, but many will be united on this Victory Day holiday in celebrating the triumph over Milosevic’s Serbia and its proxies in Croatia.įor most Serbs, however, thoughts of August 1995 bring only sorrow. 5, 1995, Croatia’s troops surged back into Knin, putting Serb rebels to flight and securing the country’s territory and independence from a Belgrade gripped by Milosevic’s aim of a “Greater Serbia.” In the biggest military operation in Europe since World War Two, Croatia reclaimed almost 20 percent of its land from Serb separatists and helped force belligerent Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic to the negotiating table that autumn, where he agreed to end five years of conflict that had destroyed Yugoslavia. Raskovic’s family was among some 200,000 ethnic Serbs who fled Knin and the surrounding area, as Croatian troops launched a blitzkrieg against Serb separatists who had seized what they called the Krajina region in summer 1990 and driven out its Croat population. Also, a new monument to wartime president Franjo Tudjman will be unveiled after being helicoptered into the hilltop fortress, and some 150,000 people are expected to attend a concert by nationalist singer Marko Perkovic Thompson. The day after a military parade full of pomp Tuesday in Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, Knin will consecrate the country’s biggest Catholic church. Knin will be the focus for today’s events to mark 20 years since Operation Storm, a glorious military triumph for Croatia but a bloody calamity for this region’s Serb community, whose centuries-old presence here it almost ended. It is when they quietly mourn a historic episode that is celebrated with raucous pride in the town and across a deeply patriotic country - and this August is even harder than most for Croatia’s Serbs. KNIN, Croatia - August is the toughest month for Anja Raskovic and the Serbs of Knin, a dusty town of 10,000 people in Croatia’s southeast. A good idea, because as usual in this genre, the pseudo perspective does not lend itself particularly well to sensible aiming. Or, actually, most of them can just be avoided. Using your not-so-varied weaponry, you blast them away. You control some miniaturised ship (and sometimes a guy in a protective suit) through a random bloke's body, where you encounter weird dangers (not all of biological origin), including (relatively speaking) large boss robots (!). This is basically Fantastic Voyage (which, incidentally, was ported to the CDTV!) in a 3D perspective. Woah, hold your horses there! Ship? Yes, OK, I'll catch you up. Oh, and where the CDTV would probably only have had 16 simultanous colours, this one uses a theoretical 256 – although everything's still sort of tinted in one colour at a time. How that was supposed to have updated the “dull” or “pretty awful” (quotes from those reviews) original to “what a game!” status remains a mystery. Between those concept times, the FM Towns release and finally the CD32 version, the only substantial change was the switch from first person to third person perspective (you see your ship from the back). It was shelved at the time for obvious reasons. In fact, rumor has it that Microcosm was indeed originally intended to be an Amiga killer application of sorts – for the ill-fated CDTV. It nevertheless didn't turn out well anyway for the Amiga in the end, as we know now. On a more legitimate note, this release indeed did show that money was still being invested. All of these reviews had one thing in common: they hardly talked about the actual game at all. One German magazine went on a rant how now more such games would need to be released for the CD32 to grab more marketshare before Nintendo and Sega would come out with their new consoles. It was declared the big killer application of the CD32 (how would that have worked, being widely available across many platforms?). Much of the British press stressed how much greater this Amiga version was than the original release for the FM Towns, but without ever qualifying how or why. Much of the press called it the best new thing since sliced bread. Let's not talk about the game, but… its intro! In its most basic form, stocks that are trending up are desirable by investors while stocks currently falling must be unattractive. Recent trends are a good indicator of current market sentiments. That means it doesn’t incorporate anything to do with the health or profitability of the underlying company. It is typically a pretty short-term metric that relies entirely on technical analysis. In investing, sentiment generally means whether or not a given security is in favor with investors. Earlier today, Tesla removed any reference to radar from its Model 3 and Model Y pages, further solidifying its confidence in camera and vision-based systems for its future rollout of the Full Self-Driving suite.See Full LAZR Report What is Stock Sentiment? Still, despite the use of LiDAR by Tesla as the company continues to refine its self-driving initiatives, there is no indication that Tesla will ever revert its stance on the systems. Additionally, Luminar sold the sensors to Tesla as a part of an agreement between the two companies, Bloomberg reported this morning. Tesla recently lost its Vice President of Legal, Al Prescott, to Luminar. Nevertheless, the use of Luminar’s LiDAR systems, in particular, is interesting. There’s no question in my mind that with a pure vision solution, we can make a car that is dramatically safer than the average person,” Musk said. This is - and processing it at a speed that is superhuman. “And when your vision works, it works better than the best human because it’s like having eight cameras, it’s like having eyes in the back of your head, beside your head, and has three eyes of different focal distances looking forward. CEO Elon Musk elaborated on Tesla’s decision to go with a camera-only approach during the Q1 2020 Earnings Call, where he compared the eight exterior cameras on a Tesla to having eight eyes on your head. Recently, Tesla scrapped its radar and camera-based approach to self-driving in favor of a camera-only system. Tesla Model X spotted equipped with LiDAR sensors in the wild Riding the wave of Tesla’s meteoric influence on stock price, it is probably safe to assume that the news of Tesla utilizing the company’s LiDAR equipment is the reason for the stock surge, but it isn’t expected to stay up there on Tesla’s support alone. Since the reports this morning, Luminar stock has settled down slightly, trading at only a. To begin, Luminar stock had a healthy boost in value on Monday morning, where it peaked at nearly 9.5% higher than its closing price per share on Friday afternoon. Can anyone offer details/insights? /5Uh4WU0U41 A Model Y with #LiDAR and CA Manufacturing (MFG) Plates. The real reasoning behind the testing is not necessarily known, but there are plenty of speculative reasons for the Luminar rig’s installation on top of the Tesla Model Y, and one could be simple benchmarking to test Tesla’s admitted vision-based approach to Full Self-Driving. In reality, Tesla has used LiDAR in the past to test its vehicles. However, don’t expect Tesla CEO Elon Musk to backtrack on his previous comments on LiDAR, where he called it “a fool’s errand.” The company has other plans for its future self-driving initiatives.įollowing the Model Y spotting in Florida on May 20th by Grayson Brulte, there was plenty of speculation regarding Tesla’s potential use of LiDAR systems for its self-driving programs that are still in development. After a Model Y was spotted in Palm Beach, Florida over the weekend sporting a hefty Luminar LiDAR rig, speculation raged on regarding Tesla’s potential use of the system. Tesla’s rumored use of LiDAR systems from Luminar on a Model Y crossover have shot the company’s stock upward.

Lewis gives regular talks to churches and students ranging from kindergartners to 12th graders, and The Confess Project works with city governments, universities, and other organizations on mental health issues. It has grown from a team of two crisscrossing the country in a van to a staff of 15, and recently relocated its physical headquarters to Atlanta, with satellite locations in Little Rock and Los Angeles. Since its founding in 2016 in Little Rock, The Confess Project has trained over a thousand barbers in 40 cities across 15 states, reaching more than one million people. “Barbershop Confessions” in New Orleans (Credit: NAMI)Īfter enlisting barbers in Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana, he and his colleagues added videos and online classes to their outreach. The Confess Project teaches barbers how to see beyond the mask – recognizing signs of depression and steering men and youth to help. The white mask, Lewis explains, “symbolizes the stigma of mental illness, the way men hold in their feelings, the mask of toughness that can create a sort of toxic masculinity that leads to toxic stress.” In the role play, the young man has to take off his mask before he can share his feelings of despair and allow someone to help him. As Lewis probed further, it turns out the young man is feeling suicidal. “Good, good,” the young man replies dully. In one taped interaction, Lewis asks the masked youth how he is doing. Sometimes Lewis illustrated his point in a role play with a colleague, a Black youth in a white mask. Barbers listened and joined in while they cut hair, and clients often jumped in, too. In an initiative called “Beyond the Shop,” Lewis visited barbershops across the South and Midwest to spread his campaign. That way they can counsel them and direct them to other resources as needed, such as therapy, a pastor or suicide prevention services. They’re taught to look for subtle changes in personality, such as withdrawal, lack of affect or changes in grooming that might signal clients are depressed, anxious or isolated. Interested barbers receive training around four pillars: active listening, validation, stigma reduction, and communication. The goal of The Confess Project is not to train barbers to be therapists, he explains, but rather to become mental health advocates, spreading awareness and destigmatizing mental illness.Įver been told to “man up” when all you wanted to do is cry? Wished there was someone to talk to who understood where you were coming from? Had a moment when all the -isms in life were too much to bear? With some seed funding, Lewis embarked on the journey to begin training barbers to become mental health gatekeepers. “The Black barbershop is where we go to be seen, heard and celebrated,” he says. “We want to give ordinary people a voice, letting them know their stories hold power and sharing them can make a difference.” “We wanted to build a loving community around them in which men could talk about their pain without being told to ‘man up,” he says. Traditionally, African American men have been loath to seek therapy for fear of appearing weak, but they are used to opening up to their barber, Lewis says. In 2016 he founded The Confess Project, a nonprofit based in Little Rock that trains barbers to be frontline counselors for clients who are depressed, traumatized or even considering suicide. “So we decided to try talking at barbershops,” a “safe, non-judgmental space” where men could let down their guard and talk about anything. “That didn’t work at all: Men just didn’t come,” Lewis said. Lewis had already tried in vain to hold town hall meetings to bring Black men and youth together to talk about mental health. The ideal setting for that therapy, he decided, was the barbershop. Lewis came up with a novel idea: Since African American boys and men had little access to therapy, why not bring therapy to them? Many were African American males who suffered from trauma, depression and other mental ills linked to their rough childhoods, but almost none of them had received any treatment before their encounter with the law. The barbershop would surface again in his late 20s, when Lewis worked as a case worker with troubled teens at an Arkansas juvenile detention center. It was the cornerstone of the Black male community, a combination of beloved social club, lounge and salon. “I grew up in my aunt’s barbershop, and it was a safe, comforting place,” he recalls. Photo courtesy of The Confess ProjectĪs a child, Lorenzo Lewis spent endless hours in a barbershop owned by his aunt, reveling in the banter, laughter and murmured conversations between barbers and their customers.
