Speaking during the Democratic Labour Party’s ‘The Sunday Roast’ panel discussion on Sunday night, Attorney-at-law and President of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), Verla De Peiza, said that in terms of the COVID-19 vaccine, these are things that have to be considered. De Peiza went on to say that while a person can make a personal choice not to take the vaccine, there are others who can make the choice not to do business with you unless you have been vaccinated. The DLP President said that can occur, even where persons may have valid reasons for not taking the vaccine. In that vein, she used the example of airlines, noting that just as they can refuse to allow persons to board an aircraft if they are not wearing masks, the same could apply to vaccines. “...They have certain liabilities that they take on by allowing you on board. Part of those liabilities are to protect others from you if that comes to the case. We mostly think of that in terms of one passenger going berserk on board, but in relation to one passenger becoming infected, they may well carry some liability, and it likely will be open to airlines to decide that you can’t travel on their craft unless you are vaccinated,” she suggested. VACCINATIONS CONTINUE!: Cynthia Harris, who is in her 70s, made the most of her chance to take the COVID-19 vaccine yesterday.

  • Performance Analysis of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 Ananda B
    Sri Lankan Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol (14-1) Performance Analysis of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 Ananda B. W. Manage*, Stephen M. Scariano and Cecil R. Hallum Sam Houston State University Huntsville, Texas, USA 77341 Corresponding Author (Email: [email protected]) Received: 13 February 2013 / Revised: 15 May 2013 ABSTRACT Performance analysis of cricket players is always an intricate task due to the correlated nature of the variables used to quantify contributions to the team. Lack of transparency of current methods, probably due to commercial confidentiality, creates a necessity for new and lucent evaluative methods. Here, we present a simple, yet straightforward, method for analyzing the performance of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 players that can be easily adapted to other team sports. Keywords: Cricket, Principal Component Analysis, Ranking Methods. 1. Introduction Quantifying individual player contributions to a team is an important yet difficult task in all team sports. Usually, there are several indicators available to measure player performances, which are based on different aspects of their contributions to the team. Unfortunately these indicators are mostly related to each other in a manner that oftentimes causes difficulty in constructing an overall performance measure. Our idea is to use a tool acquired from multivariate statistical analysis and apply it directly to T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 data. In this method, the first principal component is used to rank batsmen and bowlers. The technique is simple and can be directly applied to the type of correlated data routinely found in team sports such as cricket. Cricket administrators and sports analysts can use this amenable method to quantify players’ contribution, which could lead to a ranking structure based on their performances.

ZGODBO ZLATE LISICE PIŠEMO SKUPAJ Za nas Štajerce, ki smo Pohorje vedno imeli pred očmi, je Zlata lisica zmeraj pomenila najpomembnejšo športno prireditev v vsakem letu in za naše športne junakinje smo vedno srčno in glasno navijali. Na Pohorje sem se sicer vselej z največjim veseljem vračal, pa če je šlo za dnevno smučarijo, poletne priprave namiznoteniškega kluba ali pa le ob pogledu iz družinskega vinograda, ko se pred očmi za Ptujskim in Dravskim poljem razgrne v vsej mogočnosti. Čeravno sem sam zgolj rekreativni smučar in sem bil tekmovalno zapisan namiznemu tenisu, občudujem vse slovenske športnice in športnike, ki s trdim delom predano sledijo postavljenim ciljem, imajo najvišje ambicije in dosegajo izjemne rezultate v svetovnem merilu. V športu je vse jasno in običajno ni prostora za iskanje izgovorov. Podobno filozofijo gojijo tudi slovenske podjetnice in podjetniki, ki dosegajo vse boljše rezultate v globalni konkurenci. Vnaprej se veselim časa, ko si bomo tudi v oblastnih strukturah in Za to skrbimo na več načinov. Najprej s resnično neugodnih razmerah pokazati sistemskih institucijah postavili enake cilje. svojim znanjem in storitvami, usmerjenimi še posebno veliko požrtvovalnosti in Da bomo kot družba med najboljšimi na k strankam, s prepoznavanjem priložnosti predanosti, za kar se ji v NLB zahvaljujemo svetu in bomo za to trdo in predano delali, in potreb lokalnega okolja, z uspešnim in ji čestitamo. Prepričani smo, da bodo vse ne pa kot v zadnjem desetletju v glavnem poslovanjem ter s promocijo slovenskega od sebe dali tudi v njenem drugem domu, iskali bližnjice in izgovore, zakaj nam ne gospodarstva.
