Besides cow's milk, there are so many other non-dairy options to choose from these days — from soy and rice to coconut, flaxseed, and hemp. So which should you choose? Let's take a look at how these "milks" stack up nutritionally.
As you can see from the chart above, skim cow's milk and coconut milk are the lowest calorie options (per cup). But, when you compare the two you see that coconut milk is much higher in fat and lower in protein. In my opinion, skim milk is the best choice are far as calories and protein go. Cow's milk is a natural good source of whey protein, a high-quality protein with all of the essential amino acids ("building blocks") your body needs. Whey protein is also one of the best sources of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), including leucine, which has been shown to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Whole and 2% milk contain unnecessary saturated fat so always choose skim or 1% low fat milk; your heart and waistline will thank you.
Lactose intolerances are common- about 25% of the U.S. population is unable to digest lactose (the sugar naturally found in milk). If this is the case, then it may be beneficial to look to an alternative source of milk. Almond milk and soy milk are both options that are easily found in the grocery store. Per cup, almond milk is lower in calories than the soy milk, but soy milk provides more grams of protein.
It is important that you consider your dietary needs and any allergies you may have when researching your milk options. Keep in mind that any flavored milks (Vanilla Soy or Chocolate cow's milk) will be higher in calories and have unnecessary added sugars to them. If you have any questions about the right milk for you, contact one of our Dietitians.

Cutting-edge Start-up Aims for Nano-close Shave
A new start-up at UC Davis aims to bring a better shave through semiconductor manufacturing technology. Nano-Sharp Inc. will use silicon wafers to make razor blades and surgical tools far more cheaply than current silicon or ceramic blades. It's one of three new companies in the College of Engineering's incubator, the Engineering Translational Technology Center. "Every single one of these companies is looking at a multibillion dollar market," said Jim Olson, a visiting assistant professor at the Graduate School of Management and the center's business specialist.

Published at Tuesday, July 30th, 2019 - 13:41:15 PM. Wedding Dresses. By Adalicia Schmitz.
Yellow brings to mind the brightness of summer, flowers and sunshine, and is uplifting and full of youthful optimism. For a more mature look, use golden yellows to create a glamorous atmosphere for your wedding. Yellow is a stimulating and creative colour and is perfect for an energetic, outdoor summer wedding. Recent wedding trends pair yellow with grey for beautiful, understated wedding gowns.
Another way of controlling the cost of a wedding dress is by choosing a wedding dress from a previous season's collection. Brides go through various websites and magazines and select from among the dresses featured there. When doing this it is a good idea to make a note of the designer of the wedding dresses how much the dresses sell for. This will help identify styles and designers that will most suit your idea of the perfect wedding dress and help find the best price for your preferred designer or style of dress.

— From playing outside and getting dirty to crowns and sashes, Maureen Ashfield went from the family tomboy to pageant queen.
Now she holds the title of Mrs. New Jersey and has undertaken a mission to help others battle obesity, a fight she personally faced and won.
Ashfield, 32, of Carneys Point, started participating in pageants when she was 12 years old.
"I said I wanted to do pageants and she (my mother) actually laughed at me. As a kid, I played sports, softball and basketball. She asked what my talent would be and when I said singing, she laughed at me again, took me for vocal lessons, then said, 'Oh, she's a natural,'" Ashfield recalled with a smile.
Ashfield was crowned as Mrs. New Jersey on April 1 at the Westin Princeton Hotel in Princeton.
Representing New Jersey, Ashfield will next compete in the
in July.
"What's really cool about this title is that it's for married women who have to not only juggle marriage, sometimes families, a career and also community service," Ashfield said.
"With the divorce rates being as high as they are, I think women who juggle all these things really need to be praised for that because it's a really difficult thing."
Ashfield got her start with Miss Teen Salem County and said she did a few pageants here and there to prepare for the Miss America Organization.
"I knew I always wanted to do that," she said.
At 18, Ashfield competed in Miss Gloucester County while going to school at Gloucester County College.
Soon following, Ashfield won a local title, Miss Liberty and then Miss Salem County, leading to entering the Miss New Jersey Pageant twice, as part of the Miss America Organization.
"It is a personal gratification. It's almost like a sport. You have a love for a sport and you love winning. It's not much different. It's something that has always been something I've enjoyed," Ashfield said. "I like getting out there in public. I love the public and being around people and singing and performing places. It's just an outlet for me to do something that I love."
Tackling more than the crown, Ashfield used her accomplishment of weight loss to encourage others with her platform of "Why Weight," which focuses on the epidemic of obesity, not only in adolescents, but also adults.
Ashfield said she struggled with obesity for the last eight-and-a-half years, which was blamed on a hormonal imbalance.
According to Ashfield, she spent months working with a nutritionist following a strict diet plan and was close to being a Type II diabetic.
Ashfield said she was suffering from moderate sleep apnea, was tired and lethargic and her health was at risk.
Ashfield underwent bariatric surgery and lost 123 pounds.
"This is something I decided I needed as a cure. That's what a lot of people need to realize about weight-loss surgery. It's not an easy thing to do, but it's a cure. Just like if you were a diabetic and you were taking insulin," Ashfield said.
Ashfield has continued exercising three to five times a week and said it has been a lifestyle change, to feel better and get up every morning not feeling exhausted.
"It's really life changing. I want to stress this over and over — I did not do this so I could compete in a pageant. I didn't do it for vanity reasons. It was for health and being there for my kids. I did it because my body was deteriorating," Ashfield said.
Because of her accomplishment, Ashfield said she can now go and help other people overcome insecurities and issues with being overweight.
Although Ashfield took a break from pageants after she no longer qualified for the "Miss" divisions, she spent the past eight years as director of the Miss Heartland Scholarship Pageant.
Additionally, Ashfield has run her own photography business since 2009, which started after discovering a love of photography through taking pictures of her daughter, Hannah.
"I took shots of her, and got joy out of creating memories for my own albums and own self. And then I started doing it for friends and family and it really took off from there," she said.
Ashfield, in addition to daughter Hannah, 7, has a son, Hunter, 4 who keeps her busy in her
In addition to having children, and working in her own business, Ashfield took the year off from directing to re-enter the stage for the Mrs. division.
"It was like riding a bike. It's something, I think, when it's in you and part of you for so long, it's something you don't really forget," Ashfield said.
Ashfield said her husband, Chuck, never saw her as a pageant contestant during their marriage.
"I wanted my husband to see me compete," she said. "After some accomplishments with major weight loss goals, this was one of my goals."
Ashfield will take part with 15 to 20 other contestants from the East Coast vying for the national "Mrs." title.
"This is it, the title will be America's Mrs. and the winner would represent the nation," she said.
The pageant will be held in Annapolis, Md., on July 14 at the Doubletree Hilton Annapolis Hotel.
"Just keep trucking on, keep going for your goals," Ashfield advised other women. "Whenever I put my mind to something I put my mind to it. That's the way I have been since a child."

Jacob's Reward Farm and Dove Sanctuary
These days the quiet morning calm is punctuated with a far off "pop, pop.....pop, pop, pop." It's dove season, and hunters are out bagging birds with shotguns in area pastures. There's a new rule that hunters can't shoot within 600 feet of residences, so we won't be seeing the guy from last year who was wandering around the field across from our house. I think the birds know this, and have started congregating on the power lines in front of the farm. Ollie, ollie, oxen free! Tag home base, little birds! You're safe here.
This morning I let the chickens out with my trusty loppers in my hand, in case I ran across Mr. Rat Snake again. Of course, he has moved on to less exciting egg buffets, maybe across the creek. Smart snake. I provide refuge for doves but not snakes. I'm discriminatory like that.
Otherwise a very slow day at the farm. I went to the feed store and stocked up on alpaca feed and a few hay bales. Hay is really expensive at the feed store. The three bales I got will just tide me over until I can locate some more economical bales straight from a hay farmer. I do have a line on a good flat bed trailer, which might make the job of hauling the hay home much more practical. I'll know more later.
This evening I hung around after setting out the sheep food and just enjoyed the woolly antics. Here you see a shot of the closest thing to a rumble between Queen Esther and Shadrach I've witnessed. Like most sheep altercations, it was over almost quicker than I could react and get a picture. Everyone is really getting along well. Tonight we had a brief thunderstorm, and I could see during the intermittent lightning strikes that the whole flock was holed up together under the big hoop house, out of the rain. Everyone pulls together in the face of icky weather, and all quarrels are mended.
Esther has bald, convex knobs on her head where horns would be. I've never seen that before. Wonder what to make of it. Ideas? The yellow on her neck is from spilling Iodine on her the other day during her last pedicure. (oops) I hope it will wash out... Looks like she and Shadrach have figured out how to share the same feed pan. Bucolic bliss.

This week's challenge in the Documented Life Project was to take a shape and repeat it, then add color. Of course with Valentine's Day creeping up on us, I thought I'd make Valentine's themed pages this week. I used a heart made of bike chain links that I drew in the past. I just printed it out smaller and cut it out. Then I got to work drawing a sweet little red bicycle. Then I added a few more hearts for a border and as balloons.

Thanks Warren. I like that heart too. I got the idea from a key chain someone had made from old bike chain.
Doing this little planner, has jump started me. I even have my art room mostly sorted out now.

Marion Malinga,
Kawowo Sports
Three months after their stupendous performance in the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup in Ethiopia where they finished at the quarter finals, South Sudan start preparations for their upcoming Group C double header against Benin in the 2017 AFCON qualifiers.
South Sudan's interim coach Felix Komoyangi has confirmed the team starts non residential training tomorrow.
"We start training tomorrow" he told Kawowo Sports. "We are going to start with the domestic players as we wait for our professional players to join us. They will all be available on Tuesday, March 15 and that's when we expect to start residential training" he added.
South Sudan joined CAF and FIFA in 2012 after gaining its independence from Sudan a year earlier. The Bright Stars played their first ever international match in their 2-all draw with Uganda in July. The game resulted in FIFA welcoming South Sudan to its family.
After their deserved recognition by FIFA , the newly formed nation amazed the football world when they beat 2013 AFCON hosts Equatorial Guinea 1-0 in their Group C game to record their first ever competitive win.
Kamoyangi points out the importance of the upcoming games;
We hope we continue with the same spirit. We know how important these game are, to the players and the entire country. For us, its pride and making history.
He also talked about the fitness levels and physical state of his players ahead of their double header.
"The players are fit and in good shape. We do not have any injuries as yet and hopefully it stays like that"
Despite its low rank (140) in the latest FIFA rankings, South Sudan boasts of players playing football outside Africa.
James Moga, Chol Dhuor Ngor, Zico Paul , Jack Duach are some of its players plying their trade outside the continent. Moga plays for an Indian outfit Pune FC, midfielders Ngor and Duach play for FC International Leipzig and Los Angels Galaxy respectively. Defender Zico Paul plays for Cockburn City.
South Sudan play Benin next at home in their AFCON qualifiers on March 25 before paying them a visit on March 29.
They currently occupy the 2nd position in Group C with 3 points while Mali tops the group.

BALTIMORE—UMBC head swimming and diving coach and director of aquatics Chad Cradock has been chosen by the UMBC Alumni Association as the 2010 Outstanding Alumnus of the Year in Social and Behavioral Sciences. The award reflects career and professional achievement, as well as service to the university.
"I want to thank the Alumni Association for selecting me for this great honor and, I'd also like to congratulate the other recipients," Cradock said. "The success of this program is the culmination of the hard work of everyone in the athletic department, my coaching staff, the parents, the wonderful support of our alumni and of course, the student-athletes."
A native of Barrie, Ontario, Canada, Cradock earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from UMBC in 1997 and was a four-year letter-winner for the Retriever swimming and diving program. He was awarded the Matt Skalsky Outstanding Scholar-Athlete honor his senior season.
While at UMBC, Cradock swam at the U.S. Open and was fifth in the 400-meter freestyle at the Canadian Olympic Trials in 1996. A mid-free and distance swimmer, he capped his senior season of 1997 by earning ECAC Swimmer of the Meet honors after winning the 200-, 500- and 1,650-yard freestyle events and breaking pool records in the 200 and 500 free to lead the Retrievers to a second-place finish. The previous season, he won both the 500 free and the mile at ECAC's. He was inducted in to UMBC Athletics' Hall of Fame in 2003.
A former school record holder, Cradock joined the UMBC coaching staff as an assistant for the 1997-98 school year and was named head coach in 2001. Since he took over the program, the Retriever men have won nine consecutive conference championships, including seven straight America East titles. The women have won four conference crowns and have finished first or second in eight out nine seasons. Thirty-seven out of the 40 school records have been shattered by Retriever student-athletes under Cradock's tutelage. Cradock and his staff have been named Coach/Coaching Staff of the Year six times during his tenure, including 2010 America East Coaching Staff of the Year.
"I have never met a person who is more upbeat," UMBC Director of Athletics Dr. Charles Brown said. "Chad is always positive about his responsibilities and the people in the community that he serves. He has developed a model program for the university, the State of Maryland and the region."
Cradock and the other recipients of the Outstanding Alumni of the Year will be honored during UMBC's homecoming festivities Oct. 14.

Every gamer's dream is to become rich and famous for playing online games. Although it sounds highly unlikely, playing for a living is now a possibility. Professional gamers are now considered athletes by the US Government, earning thousands of dollars a year depending on the popularity of the game they play. Professional gamers are also treated like celebrities with Interviews, tarpaulins, sponsorships, freebies and not to mention great travelling opportunities. It's all part of the deal!
How can you be one of them? Here are some not so easy steps to follow:
Find your game
There are several online games played in the international tournaments but you have to choose which game will best suit you. Just like choosing a sport depending on your capability and strengths, choosing your game is just as important. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Are you an archer? A knight? Are you a leader or a follower? Cultivate your strengths and develop your weaknesses to make it an asset.
Build your team
Since most of the professional games are in teams, it is important that you choose teammates that you can work well with. They should also complement your skills so that every part of your forte is strong. Remember that a team is only as good as their weakest member, so choose wisely. The playing attitudes are also important. Pressure and anxiety could disband the team if members are not tightly bonded.
Practice, practice, practice
Practice is always part of success. Practice with the team. This will make each member familiar with each other's skills and characters. Do not be afraid to fight against stronger teams, there is no such thing as failure if you learned something. Take notes of what caused failure and work on that area. Challenge the team to increase the level of skills and take every defeat a learning process.
The stakes are high for every game that a pro gamer plays. It's very much similar with football betting or other online gambling games because real money is involved. When you're at that level, then you'll have no choice but to practice like there's no tomorrow so you'll end-up the victor once the game ends!
Get noticed
This might be the hardest part. To get the attention of the big people, you have to climb your way up. Play in tournaments and show how good you are. Play online. Most of the big e-athletes started in playing online tournaments. Make your mark. Let people and opponents remember you and your team. As you climb your way up the success ladder, remember to keep your feet on the ground.
Some e-athletes are born
To be the best you have to beat the best, which will require physical and mental strength. Not everyone can make hundreds of moves per minute and not get strained for it. It is almost superhuman action and reaction.
Indeed pro gaming is a big league made for the toughest and the best. However, you can start down below and into your way up when you keep practicing. Remember that not everyone is made to be a pro gamer. If it is that easy, many people would have been making money out of online gaming by now.

41: Allie Jorgensen & Allison Benna made the Top 10 for their Fashion Promotion Plan
42: Allison Benna So Mr. Melzer, I remember you specifically telling me that when you first met me in your Marketing class you thought I was a quiet and shy person but a hard working student. I'm 90% percent positive that as the 2010 school year comes to a close, you only wish those things were still true about me (but in my defense, "Senioritis" happens to the best of us, and one should not be discriminated for it! And I was never quiet, others in the class – Rachel Murphy – were just louder.). However, a person typically does not change your life within the first days you meet them. And if the impact was strong enough, a rocky end does not alter the lessons and memories you have received from them. To start off, I took Marketing because I was considering it as a possible career option. After all, both my parents have some type of business degrees. When DECA Districts rolled around in January, I participated 1) because my mom thought "it would be a great experience" (typical mom thing) and 2) I was borderline between an A and B. At least, that is what I told my friends. I had a number 3. I remember you, Melzer, always getting so excited about this whole DECA thing and how it can open so many doors for your future. Your excitement and the amount of time you put towards preparation for competition made me want to get up at 6 in the morning! HA – well, it made me want to give it my best shot and get the best experience I could from it. As a junior, for not touching a test, and for buying my business attire and selling prop (I was in the Apparel and Accessories Role Play) the night before, I thought 4th place was pretty good! Junior year flew with State and the INTERNATIONALS! Who would have thought?! Junior year will always stand out for me with DECA because it was the first time I felt like I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I was and still am completely fascinated with how the business world runs. I believe I owe that to you for allowing me to have the experiences to realize that.
43: Senior year of course was exciting being named DECA President and all! I think the best experience was being able to help coordinate the DECA Nights event with LeRoy Butler. I know we both have our personal opinions about him which I will not state, but it was for an awesome cause! I know it meant a lot for me because I have had many family members suffer from breast cancer, so it meant a lot of you to take that in to consideration when deciding which organization to benefit. I thank you for that. However, being in charge for a whole night was awesomeee! Pretty sure some people weren't my biggest fan after, but I got the job done. Also, qualifying AGAIN for Internationals! I was ecstatic! I was feeling a lot of pressure being the President, and so the fact I didn't choke is still amazing for me! But I feel that didn't happen because you were always there as a support system. Whenever competition was brought up, you would always brag about how Allie Jorgensen and I were going to win the whole thing! Hey, top 10 was pretty d*** close and it was good knowing that there was someone that strongly believed in us. I really, REALLY want to thank you for that. I still look back and cannot believe that by choosing one class I got myself into an organization I spent the majority of my time working on – and if I wasn't working on it, I was talking about it. I believe DECA was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity and I do not think I can thank you enough for basically handing it to me. On top of that, for all your students and especially the active DECA members, you were always so supportive of what we were doing in and out of the classroom/DECA. It takes someone with a lot of patience to put up with things I know you go through – and put yourself through. I mean come on, how many degrees does one teacher need?! I know you are not going anywhere anytime soon unless you choose to. You have shaped Arrowhead DECA into something great. You have taken students and made them into adults ready to hopefully take on the next step in their lives. Not many people can do that, and on the scale at which you have. I know you do not receive the proper thanks you deserve most of the time, and I am not sure even this book is enough to say "thank you" for all you have done for me alone! But it needs to be said and I cannot think of a better time to say it. THANK YOU! Your President for 2010, Allison Benna P.S. GO BADGERS! WOOT WOOT!
44: Abby Taubner "Mr. Melzer, I want to say thank you for everything you did for me this year. DECA was one of the best experiences I had in high school, thank you for introducing me to it. I had so much fun along the way and will never forget our amazing game of "Thumper." I learned so much, especially that I'm able to accomplish more than I usually expect of myself, and I owe that to you. Thanks so much for all you do for Arrowhead, DECA, and your students. Keep using your passion to inspire us and introduce us to the business world." | Allie Jorgensen "Melzguy - What a year it's been! Thank you for putting up with my procrastination and chaotic work ethic this year. I know you've had your doubts if we'd finish... ever, but I'm glad Allison and I were able to prove you wrong. I've been working on my silverware balancing skills, so be prepare to be impressed in Orlando. Thanks for an awesome year and I;m looking forward to making next year even better!
45: ALexis Gull Melzer -Walking into sports & entertainment marketing at the beginning of the year I had no idea what to expect being that it was the first business class I had taken at Arrowhead. As soon as you began to explain to us exactly what we would be doing throughout the semester I knew this was exactly what I wanted to do. That one day will be changing the course of my life as I am now going for my Marketing major, all thanks to you. As I got more involved with DECA I got to know the fun loving, sarcastic, hard working, and overall amazing teacher you are. Although neither Deanna or I placed at districs you believed in both of us enough to have us compete at state and then in Kentucky. I want to thank you for pushing me in your class to work harder and do my best work. I would also like to thank you for the opportunity and the amazing learning experience you allowed me to recieve through competing in DECA. Even though you can be a pain in the butt when you insist on repeating everything I say or giving me hard time about my three classes I still look forward to your class every day. Thank you for all the work you put in for state and nationals. Without you none of this would have been possible! I can honestly say Melzer that in all of high school you are my favorite teacher I have ever had so thanks again."
46: Brian Henzelmann "Mr. Melzer, you are the best. You bring out the best in all of us. You know how to make a fun time and I'll miss you! It's been a fun year!" | Chelsea Mueller "Melzer, Thank you so much for getting me involved with DECA this year. What started as me taking a business course to graduate turned into way more involvement than I originally intended, which I love! For all of my griping, I really liked developing my business and presenting it. From your classes and DECA, I have definitely learned I am more interested in economics and business in college rather than the politics I was leaning toward earlier. Thanks!"
47: Heather Mrotek "Mr. Melzer, Sometimes I think to myself that I know you a little... a little too well. This is my second year knowing you and I learned the most I ever have about myself, business, and DECA. Don't tell anyone, but you made me into a "DECA Dork." On a serious note, you truly pushed me to be the best student I can be. I moved mountains WITH YOUR HELP. I was the first sophomore too compete and place in State and Internationals. Also, I was the first Junior Office and State Officer for Wisconsin DECA. I laughed at the original thought, but I am so glad you had me do it. THANK YOU! I can't wait for next year..."
48: Lexie Strullmyer "Mr. Melzer: I have had a great time the last 2 years being in DECA. It's been a lot of fun working, competing, traveling, and getting to know you and the other DECA members. You have been so helpful in competition and in school. Thank you for everything that you have taught me. Thank you for all the great opportunities you and DECA have given me. I really appreciate it. We love you Melz Guy :)" | Nick Wolfgram "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go to nationals. I really enjoyed the DECA experience. I learned a lot this year and developed a passion for business. I am really thankful for all the time and work you put into teaching your classes and making sure DECA and the school store are successful. You definitely deserve a lot of credit for the success of DECA Nights with Leroy Butler. Again, I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to grow as a leader and I thank you for all of your guidance. DECA couldn't function without you! I am already looking forward to next year in Orlando. I'm sure you'll do your part to make sure DECA has another great year! Melzer, you're the man!"
49: Nathan Meissner "THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING LIFE EXPERIENCE! I feel like I am finally prepared for college and the road ahead of me. Although I probably won't go into business, the skills you showed me will help in the future. I have already noticed significant differences in my work since ICDC. Not only did you show us how to work together, but you also showed us a teacher can be a friend. Thank you for being an instructor who cares." | Deanna Fried "Melzer: Thank you so much for everything you've done for us. I've had an amazing time being in DECA these last two years. It really has taught me to be more outgoing and I gained a ton of new friends. Going to Kentucky was an awesome opportunity that wouldn't have been possible without you. I've learned a lot about marketing and find myself using it every day. Needless to say I'm proud to call myself a DECA dork! Thanks for putting up with everything and I;ll definitely miss all of your teasing! We love you Melzer!"
50: Sarah Hoopes "Mr. Melzer - Thank you so much for the opportunity to be in DECA. I learned a lot this year and had a great time in Louisville!" | Brandon Altenburg "Thank you so much for everything Mr. Melzer, you make Arrowhead DECA everything it is - the best chapter in the state. Thank you for allowing us to experience real-life business situations and have a ton of fun at the same time. You make it happen, and I know you don't get enough credit, so just know that you make a major impact in all of our lives."
51: Ms. Doehling Melzer - I have truly enjoyed working with you this semester. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to be involved in your classroom, the school store, and DECA as I prepare for my career as a teacher. I have loved working with your students, getting to know their unique personalities and watching them succeed. I have been lucky enough to work with an amazing group of talented and bright students here at Arrowhead, both in the classroom and in DECA.. I have never been more excited for what the future holds for my career as I am when I hear their enthusiasm. You have truly been blessed with an amazing group of students, a great officer team, and wonderful school environment. Good luck next year! | Nick Korom "This was my first year in DECA and it was a great experience. I had a lot of fun and learned many important life skills. Also, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for us this year. You helped make my DECA experience fun and memorable."

The spaceport tower of the Jedi Temple was a tower erected in the Temple district on Coruscant.[2]
Located in the Temple district, the mooring tower of the Jedi Temple was established by the Jedi Order to accommodate larger starships landing at the Temple.[3]
In 19 BBY Jedi Master Jai Maruk landed a Seltaya-class courier at the tower nearest the Temple having returned gravely injured from an encounter with Asajj Ventress. At the time, Chief Technician Boz Addle oversaw all flights in and out of the Precinct, reporting to Temple Security Forces if anyone landed without Temple's approval .[4]

February 2017: Gareth Pilkington
Gareth pictured with the Amber Valley Ladies team.
Rugby coach Gareth Pilkington, 44 from Riddings, combines his day job as commercial manager for the Corrugated Case Company in Clay Cross, with serving as chairman of Amber Valley Rugby Club. His role also extends to coaching Amber Valley Ladies RUFC and also junior sections at the club, meaning there's rarely a dull moment for the man who was a finalist at the 2016 Derby Telegraph Sports Awards.
Starting in swimming
"I originally started on the coaching pathway whilst my eldest two children were at Heanor Swimming Club in 2002 when after a while was asked to step over the barrier and help out.
"I found out that I thoroughly enjoyed it and continued becoming a qualified swimming instructor and life guard, coaching twice a week plus competitions on top of that.
"The work I put in soon earned me the respect from the team members and parents and eventually I became chairman of the club. This continued until 2008-09 (by which time my children had already left the club) when other things in my life took priority and I had to give up.
"The retirement however, was not to be a very long one and swimming was soon replaced with the sport which I have loved and played for nearly 30 years, rugby, where all my time had come at one club - Amber Valley.
On to rugby - and Amber Valley
"This has since escalated, so the ladies are now in a development league and are training twice a week with a view to entering the full league system.
"Not only have the number of ladies playing the game increased, we have also encouraged some of the men within the club to help them in their quest and join in coaching them, which, in my view, is as much a success as the women playing.
"Like with the men and children's sections, we are actively growing the ladies and all are welcome to come and join in – no experience necessary!
Gareth during his playing days.
Stepping things up
"Over the years at the club, I have always been involved in helping with various jobs around the place so, when was asked by a friend and team-mate in 2010 to come and help out with the running of the mini / junior section, and being as I wanted to give something back to the club, I said 'yes'.
"Since then, I have gone on to become the chairman of the club, a position I have held for the past five years. Being the chairman, I was approached in September 2013 about the possibility of us putting on some training for some ladies that were interested in doing some rugby specific sessions for the ladies.
"With no-one else at the club in the frame or willing to do this, I said that I would run them. I had plenty of playing experience having played for the first team at Valley for over 15 years, spending two years at Nottingham Rugby in their Under-21s and playing representative rugby for the county at Under-18s, Under-21s, senior and veteran levels.
Coaching multiple sessions
"I currently coach three different groups, which are the Under 6s to Under-9s, which happens on a Sunday morning from 10 am to 11.30am, I help out with the Under-10 and 11s on a Wednesday night from 6pm til 7pm and, as mentioned above, with the women twice a week, on a Thursday night 7pm to 8.30pm and a Sunday from 1pm tp 2.30pm.
"As well as coaching I have also been recruited to help within the three counties set up coaching the ladies team who went unbeaten in their programme last year.
"This is a two-year secondment, so I will be repeating this again this year. The team achieved promotion last year so the rugby will be more intense, but we will have an enjoyable time in helping to preparing the players for this challenge.
Gareth coaching the juniors.
Creating a welcoming environment for children
"When I was asked to start helping it was the younger children where my affinity was immediately aligned, partly as I had a two-year-old at the time and I hoped that he would one day join.
"I was keen to create a welcoming environment where the kids want to come down to the club, but at the time it was all guess work as to what was right or wrong.
"I have developed a real passion in trying to ensure that the kids I coach enjoy themselves and have strived to ensure that with planning, empathy, understanding and most of all creating fun sessions the kids we coach are keen to come back.
'Proud' to teach key life skills
"There are 11-year-old children at the club that have been coming since they were about the age of five years, I believe that this is testament to the fact that they have enjoyed themselves, so I have done something right
"Without realising, they have learnt about many of lives key skills, ones that are key to the core values that are held in such high regard throughout the rugby community, skills that are being continually honed and are so valuable in life in general as we all get older.
"Being able to bring these to the fore is something that I am really proud of being able to promote and achieve."
Gareth's coaching journey has helped him make life-long friends.
Developing life-long friendships
"Seeing people enjoy themselves, grow in confidence and self esteem and learn – no matter what ability they have or start with – is what I enjoy most about being a coach.
"One thing that is not really coached, but happens when a club is creating the correct environment and one that has been a big thing for me throughout my rugby career, is that of making life-long friends and seeing these start, grow and develop.
Good coaches are the key to long-term club development
"To my mind the first coach you get, no matter what sport or activity it is you play or undertake, is normally (parental influences aside) the one who has the largest impact on whether you continue in that sport or not.
"They are the one that grabs your attention and inspires you or puts you off for life. Grass roots clubs being the most likely initial access point are continually on the lookout for good people to help promote their sport and encourage people to come in.
"It is in their own interest to ensure that these are the best that they can possibly be, otherwise the decline in numbers has a particularly gruesome effect and we end up with fewer clubs and eventually a decline in the participation overall.
Interest in the ladies team has grown quickly.
Getting the ladies team up and running
"From the start, the ladies team, which I am proud to be a part of, was not something that was on the radar before we were approached by a member of staff of the Amber Valley Village Games with a proposition about us getting ladies involved in doing some exercise using rugby based activities.
"Getting this idea sold was not a difficult thing and originally this was undertaken by immediate members of the club and they encouraged their friends to come along.
"At this time, there was no intention to get the ladies to play the sport, but purely to get out and get fit. Once the ladies got involved it was them who drove the growth and them who decided they wanted to take things forward into the sport itself.
"I do believe that being the chairman of the club and also having other senior members of the club management committee undertaking the coaching ensured that it was easier for them to be incorporated into the club and become part of it.
"With these figures in place and being so positive in their actions getting women to buy into the activity was comparatively easy."
Helping others to achieve
"What keeps me motivated is the fact that I can facilitate someone else's enjoyment and help them improve and achieve something that they never thought possible.
"Getting people to buy in to what you are trying as a team to achieve and the relationships and trust in one another that are built as a result. It's also because I can't play again and want to put back into the game some of the knowledge I have accumulated."
Gareth (second right) is recognised at the Derby Telegraph Sports Awards.
Nomination for a Sports Award
"I was completely unaware that I had been nominated in the first place I was over the moon to have got as far as i did in reaching the final.
"For someone to have taken the time to put me in for the award in Amber Valley in the first place was wonderful - and to have won that part was brilliant.
"It shows that you don't have to be a full-time paid coach to get some sort of reward and recognition.
Continuing the coaching development
"I have already started on my future progression in the fact that I am on my way to becoming a level 2 coach.
"Learning more means that the ladies team are continually developing which means they are asking more questions, which means that they are learning and I then need to learn more to keep this cycle going.
"I am continually looking to improve and I am constantly having to look at new ways of changing what we do but to want make sure that I am one step ahead of them.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes
"My advice to others thinking about coaching or volunteering is to ensure that you love the sport and believe in what you are trying to get across.
"Be open and honest about your aims by sitting down with the group you are coaching and setting goals and getting to the heart of what it is they are trying to achieve.
"Lastly, be open to getting ideas from others and not just the sport that you coach in and try and go on as many courses as possible. Don't be afraid of learning new things or making mistakes - after all, we are all human."

GE History (New Version)
Post by:
July 04, 2019, 01:04:49 AM
This is my new draft of our organization's history, spanning from 1999 to 2019. I have done away with the fiction-based, sensationalized versions of the past. This new version is told from my personal perspective. The events themselves are told exactly as they were over the past twenty years. I will be making updates to these texts as I go.
During the height of the Dotcom Boom (c. 1999), online multiplayer gaming was predominated by competitive, free-for-all style deathmatch titles. Like many, I was drawn to PC platform titles, especially those of the Star Wars genre. The Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace movie's release sparked a cult-like following. Its video game equivalent, by the same title, was among my first inspirations in online gaming. Having liked both the movie and the video game so much, I searched for similar titles and found my way to the trial versions of Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith and Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, which required registration on the MSN Gaming Zone, the center of all online multiplayer gaming of the time.
Like many people on the MSN Gaming Zone, I found solace in the digital interactions I had with other players. I was befriended by an individual who used the screen name _Raziel_. He shared my intrigue in Star Wars canon and its light and dark side allegories. We met another friend along the way, who used the screen name Sindel_ and formed a guild called The New Sith Empire. Our guild was short-lived, however, as both _Raziel_ and ¬Sindel_ would each follow their own paths.
Imperial themed and Jedi themed guilds (colloquially referred to as "clans") were the dominant trends in Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. They formed the base of the player community, which distinguished the heroes and villains among its members based on who was most liked versus who was least liked. The popularity contest became ever clear to me when SL_Darkk, an individual I bested in a few meaningless duels, lashed out at me in the public lobby. New to this kind of adversity online, I rushed to defend myself; I was outnumbered by the player community, and people I had called friends took his side with little to no question. I decided on that day that I have my revenge. I would become more than just an anathema. I would be as a curse upon them and become the embodiment of everything they hated.
I toyed with the alias "Darth Reaper" and similar handles in my effort to concoct a new identity that played on roleplayer trends. _Raziel_ suggested that I reminded him of a dark angel, persuasive yet clandestine and sinister. The name "Darchind" (pronounced "Dar-shind") soon occurred to me. It was a clumsy yet catchy anagram for that very thing, a dark angel, especially since my becoming persona non grata could be likened to the fall of Lucifer according to biblical allegory. Like Lucifer in the Old Testament, I would not lower my standard or stray from what is true in order to appease the majority.
This inception period of the Darchind persona prompted me to decide that in order to be an effective villain and fulfill my oath of vengeance, I would have to project the image of a Sith Lord and maintain relevance to the Star Wars theme. I also decided that I would need to look for others like me and raise an imperial themed guild, conveying my image as an oppressor. _Raziel_ and I formed a new guild called The Dark Empire, inspired by fiction from the Star Wars expanded universe. Though we recruited others, there seemed to be nothing unique about anything we did. The Imperial Sith Council, as we called it, comprised of myself, _Raziel_, Shrider (later renamed Tahlren), Fanthom, Nocturne, Fett, Reaper, Charizard, and Morpheus. We waged war on groups such as the Jedi Guardians (JG) and the Ultimate Destroyers (UD), but we did not seem to have a purpose. Our council assembly sought to do exactly what the other groups were doing: to pretend to be characters of fiction, lead disciples, and in the end accomplish nothing. It became increasingly clear to me that we needed a higher purpose.

Among the most prominent imperial themed guilds on the gaming zone was the Avatar Empire (AV). Its multi-gaming platform enabled its leader, Lord Avatar, to sustain a sphere of influence that spanned across multiple games, most of which were in the Star Wars genre. I frequently found myself annoyed with his organization's presence, all the while admiring its structure. His organization's structure would be one of three major inspirations that I would draw from in shaping my own organization.
Emperor_Sidious' "alliance of clans" concept for his own organization, which he plainly called
The Empire
, was the second of these inspirations. Unlike Avatar, who preferred to subdivide his organization into multiple divisions, Sidious preferred a central government presiding over a network of guilds that followed his directive. Their purpose was moot, however, as they aspired to accomplish little more than to live out fantasies driven by Star Wars expanded universe canon. Sidious took notice of our membership base's growth at some point in fall 1999. He sent his deputy, Dark_Appr_Luke, along with COMS_Cable, NE_Kir_Kanos, as well as other minions of his to interrupt our war with the New Sith guild, a guild formed by Sith_Legend, who was formerly darth_hard_butt, a recruit of mine when Raziel, Sindel, and I had the New Sith Empire guild. Sidious also reached out to the Jedi Guardians (JG), the Ultimate Destroyers (UD), and virtually anyone with whom we were on belligerent terms. During our war with Sidious' organization, we became aware of the existence of
, modified versions of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II's .cog extension files that enabled illicit exploits such as
toggle god mode
extended lightsaber hitbox range
, and the infamous
, which targeted a player and fragged them repeatedly in rapid succession. Supplied by acclaimed hacker EAH_Triscuit, we engaged Sidious in a psychological war that was fought on two fronts: politics and cheating. We eventually found our winning edge when we convinced his supposed finacé, CRK_KittyKlaws, to turn on him. Distraught, he claimed she should have been proud for "accomplishing what no one else could accompish", that she "killed Sidious". Sidious challenged me to one final duel at the Bespin Mining Station map, where I defeated him 4-0. He abdicated after the duel and never showed himself again. He was never legitimately skilled, but it certainly felt as though he was not trying, I thought.
Updated 7-19-19:
I spent the rest of the year 2000 reorganizing the Dark Empire into the Galactic Empire. With Sidious and his faction out of the way, and with the Avatar Empire (AV) having imploded due to internal problems, I felt I could afford to be more ostentatious and build a new organization that was partly inspired by Star Wars fiction but otherwise focused on application as it pertained to the gaming community. Though Sidious was out of the way, some of the guilds he had presided over still existed. The Jedi Guardians (JG) and the Ultimate Destroyers (UD), led respectively by
were two of such, and they had expansionist ambitions that conflicted with our own. We engaged both guilds, as well as others, in mutual provocations that spanned from the chat lobbies to the forums, unto in-game duels and contests. The Jedi Guardians (JG), feeling their guild's reputation was at stake, began to collude with FIA_SANTA, FIA_PIZZA1 and the Flying Imperial Assassins (FIA), a known hacking guild. They used that relationship in order to develop game hacks more sophisticated than the malcontent FIA released to the public. In reaction, I sought the assistance of EAH_Triscuit of the Evil Allied Hacks (EAH) guild, the FIA guild's larger competitor. Triscuit supplied me with remodified game hacks that superseded most of anything FIA had released. He was interested in maintaining a sense of balance in the community; and, perhaps, offsetting his FIA competitors.
I was particularly annoyed that one of my old partners, Sindel_, had joined FIA. That compelled me to engage FIA and the rest of these groups with utmost conviction, especially she had felt protective of them in her predilection against me.
Under the alias GE_SG_Viers, I experimented in Mechwarrior III and built an impressive roster, comprised of loyal recruits such as Wolverine and Venom, both of whom ascended to General ranks in our Imperial Army. Unfortunately, the MechWarrior III division served little more than recreational purposes for us, as we were always drawn back to Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. A similar experience was had in Diablo II and then Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
The Imperial Sith Council and I were engaged in seemingly internecine warfare with the Jedi Guardians (JG) and the Ultimate Destroyers (UD). But by mid 2000, we found ourselves also engaged in conflict with a new competitor. A new guild calling itself The Galactic Empire (TGE) materialized under Emperor_Des (Desmond), whom I found to be overly sanctimonious. Naturally, we felt offended by what we regarded to be an act of infringement upon our namesake, despite Des' logical contention that we had no claim to the namesake because it was rooted in Star Wars canon. However, we were compelled to assert otherwise, hunting and harassing his members at every turn in their sessions and disrupting their overall recruitment efforts. Des reacted by accusing us of Satanic worship, insinuating our motivations were based in malice and pure evil. We pounded his member base nonetheless until he lost interest and disappeared from the gaming zone. The stigma of being a GE member and therefore Satanic, then, was purveyed by the Jedi Guardians (JG), the Flying Imperial Assassins (FIA), and other associations responsible for propaganda against us.
Although Des disappeared and his TGE members each found their way to new guilds, one member who went by the name THE_ERADICATOR served to be a major source of entertainment for our member base over the next few years. He was mocked for his illiteracy, his lack of coherence, and his lack of proficiency in English.
Updated 7-22-19:
By the summer of 2001, I had grown dissatisfied with the conventional guild structure of our organization. The hierarchy of the United States military branches were a great influence to me, so I drafted a new hierarchy on that basis. While we had always attempted to build the army with failed experimental leaderships like those of General Darconn (GE_GG_Darconn) and General Nukem (GE_G_Nukem), I always fancied the idea of expanding into games that justified having a formal navy as well. With my then associates Shiva, Chimaera, Veon Kurr, Ares, Strife, and the overlord Lord Torael, I reorganized the empire into five divisions: the Galactic Imperial Army (GIA), the Galactic Imperial Navy (GIN), the Galactic Imperial Marine Corps (GIMC), the Galactic Imperial Air Force (GIAF), and the Imperial Government (IG) to preside over the other four. Shiva would become the IG division's first Supreme Chancellor (SC), joined by Chimaera, Veon Kurr, Ares, and Strife.
In our search for a leader to take command of the army, Shiva and I stumbled upon a player who went by the name IRG_Lee, who was posing as a member of the Imperial Royal Guard (IRG) guild for his own reasons. I was impressed with his tenacity and subsequent leadership convictions. Shiva and I promptly recruited him and appointed him to lead the GIA division as its first Supreme General (SG). He was known, thenceforth, as Seknem.
General Seknem moved swiftly to overhaul the GIA division and reinvent the empire's army component in his own image. He imparted a fundamental rationale of
quality over quantity
, inspiring the directives of his successors for years to come. He stressed the importance of recruiting and training a loyal, dedicated, and efficient fighting force, expressing his utter disdain for the trend of large but thoroughly inefficient and incompetent rosters of other associations. From my list of associates, I selected Tessek, formerly TEH_Emperor of The Emperor's Hand (TEH), a guild that Emperor_Sidious had presided over, to compliment Seknem as the GIA division's first High Grand General (HGG).
Reclaiming Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II from the control of the Jedi Guardians (JG) was Seknem's first objective. He waged a direct in-game war on the Jedi Guardians (JG), bombarding them with sheer force of will. I seconded his efforts by waging a campaign of psychological warfare on message boards and in the chat lobbies. Toward the release of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, the Jedi Guardians (JG) reorganized into a new guild, calling themselves
The One
(The_1), but Seknem's GIA had already grown too dominant a presence in both numbers and collective talent that
The One
was dissuaded into non-existence. This set the precedent for all of the empire's future conflicts, that a combination of demoralization tactics and psychological warfare would be the means by which the empire executed its enemies.

I play WoT exclusively on the NA servers. A few days ago, I received an email from Wargaming concerning the M56 Scorpion Bundle. From what I could see on the Wiki & read in the forums, it seems like a highly situational TD and also to be of limited use as a crew trainer as the crew positions don't match up with most of the U.S. tank destroyers. Despite these considerations, I went ahead and bought the bundle as I'm kind of a tank collector.
I immediately got an email from Wargaming which states in part: "Thank you for your purchase in the the Wargaming.net Premium Shop. The items you purchased have been transferred to the account deepinthesticks and are available in the game."
That was around 6 PM Central Time yesterday (Sept. 8). The Scorpion never showed up in my garage last night, and as of 8:45 or so this morning there was still no sign of it. I'm at work now and won't have access to the game client until I get home this evening. I'm wondering if maybe I have a garage on the EU server with only the default tier 1 tanks and a shiny new and unused M56 in it. The only reason I even have an account on the EU server is one day I was looking on the EU WoT forums for some info I had been unable to find on the NA forums and you couldn't do a forum search w/o being logged in.

Woods Hole Field Center a Multi-Agency Center
The USGS Woods Hole Field Center has taken a step forward as a regional multi-agency marine science and policy center with the arrival of Brad Barr of the NOAA National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) Program. No stranger to the WHFC, Brad has worked closely with various USGS scientistsespecially Page Valentineand Field Center personnel when he was the manager of NOAA's Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.
"The partnership with USGS is one of the most significant accomplishments of my tenure as Sanctuary Manager," said Brad. "USGS has played a critical role in achieving the successes the National Marine Sanctuary has had in bringing good science to support management decision-making. Much resource management is like sailing into uncharted areas, because little information is available to guide decision-making. The USGS has, literally, provided us the chart so that we can avoid the shoals."
The multi-beam and backscatter-sidescan mapping program, and the extensive ground-truthing being completed this year have produced unparalleled data and information about the essential habitats that make up the Sanctuary and allow scientists to conduct important process studies essential to understanding, and thereby better managing, the complex and dynamic marine ecosystems.
Brad is currently working on methodologies to identify and address threats to the resources of the sanctuaries and to develop a specific policy on the placement and construction of artificial reefs in the sanctuaries. He is also beginning to address systems planning for the NMS Program, determining how best to expand and manage the sanctuary system if funds become available and the Program once again begins to look at new candidate sites.
In addition, Brad is working on a number of trans-boundary initiatives with the Canadians, including development and implementation of a framework for collaboration among Federal marine protected-area programs in the U.S. and Canada for the Gulf of Maine region. Called the Gulf of Maine Integrated Marine Protected Areas System (or IMPAS), this collaboration will allow greater coordination among agencies with MPA responsibilities in the Gulf of Maine. The collaboration will also provide opportunities for joint research, monitoring, and outreach initiatives and will allow MPA managers to share information and expertise on issues of concern in the region.
Brad will be working with others in the NMS Program office at their headquarters in Silver Spring, MD, on strengthening the ties between the USGS and the NMS Program. The USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program (C&MP) welcomes Brad and NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program.

On Sunday, the BBC announced that Jodie Whittaker would be taking over as the 13th Doctor for the upcoming season of Doctor Who. After decades of male Doctors, and several seasons of a showrunner whose gender politics are less than kind to women, the change is long overdue. Ratings drooped under Steven Moffat's reign and the imagination doesn't have to stretch far to connect the dots–female sci-fi fans expect better, and it looks like we're finally getting it.
Not everyone is so pleased by the change, however. As the average misogynist took to twitter to complain about how they "they don't call it Nurse Who for a reason," several British publications bizarrely voiced their opinion by way of digging up screenshots of nude scenes Whittaker had done in previous work. The Sun, among a few other British magazines such as Mail Online and The Daily Star, published nude screenshots of Whittaker under all variety of disturbing headlines–Whittaker's "saucy screen past" and her "Dalektable" figure were put under a microscope mere moments after her accomplishment was praised by previous actors who played the role.
I shouldn't have to make the point that this would never happen to male actors–the proof is in the literal pudding, as we have had four men who previously played the Doctor in the New Who resurgence and none of them had naked images pulled to the forefront of the conversation when they were cast. A double standard like this comes at the intersection of a multitude of societal factors, most notably the fact that women's bodies are on constant display for consumption, and women actors are expected, infinitely more than their male coworkers, to retain an almost inhuman level of beauty and sexual attractiveness for a presumed male audience. Then that presumed male audience usually feels entitled to oggle. So the showrunners ensure there's a sex object for this audience they created. (I think in the show they call this a "self-perpetuating time-loop".)
Objectification itself refers to the debasement of a person to the status of an object, to be used (looked at) for pleasure by the viewer. It's no secret that this happens to women disproportionately. But beyond a simple double standard, publishing naked photos of singular women has always been explicitly tied to an uncoordinated effort by patriarchal forces to subjugate women writ large. It's objectification in the form of sexual violence, and it's about power. Using nude screenshots serves to undermine the accomplishment of Whittaker, and it exists within the context of our misogynistic society as much as any other non-consensual publishing of photos does.
Whittaker isn't the only woman who has had her nude image used without her consultation. Earlier in July, Rob Kardashian published nude photos of his former fiance and mother to his child Blac Chyna. Blac Chyna reportedly sent the photos while the two were in an intimate relationship, and did not anticipate or want them to be spread. A conversation about "revenge porn"–the act of publishing intimate photos as an act of vengeance against the subject–has surfaced around this discussion.
Like most forms of online harassment, revenge porn has an undeniably gendered split, with men numbering overwhelmingly as perpetrators: 90% of revenge porn cases involve male perpetrators and female victims.
You might also remember when Jennifer Lawrence and many other female celebrities had their photos hacked and leaked a few years ago. Almost all were female. No surprises there.
Photos like these get spread around because the subject matter is highly taboo. Getting a sneak peak into the private lives of celebrities has always been salacious, and uncovering a famous woman's sexuality doubles that feeling.
But this kind of behavior goes beyond celebrity gossip, and has real roots in a culture that allows and excuses violence against women. As the ultimate example of the war raged against women online, GamerGate illustrates the acute way sexual violence is lodged at women who step out of line in more creative and disturbing ways than just revenge porn or leaked pictures. In 2014, dozens of women were driven off the internet with a combination of death threats and the promise of imminent sexual violence. In her now-famous Ted Talk, Anita Sarkeesian discusses the exact kinds of threats online harassers hit her with after she dared to critique video games' treatment of female characters: violent rape threats, hand-drawn pictures or photoshopped images of her being violated by video game characters, and online games people could play to enact violence on her likeness flooded her inbox. Even her Wikipedia page was vandalized with pornography.
They had no real images of Sarkeesian to work with, and yet the actors behind GamerGate enacted violence against Sarkeesian through sexual intimidation anyway.
So what about the publishing of photos that aren't private or fabricated with the intent to harass? Pulling naked stills from Whittaker's past roles doesn't really relate to revenge porn or GamerGate, does it?
In some ways, no, it doesn't relate. Those were paid gigs that she acted for and consented to, and they weren't meant for an intimate partner. Certainly in the moment of filming they weren't meant to harass or subjugate Whittaker. The scenes appeared on television; they were always open to the public. Theoretically, anyone could find them.
But the initial conception of the scene isn't what's in question here. It's the context in which the magazine found, screenshotted, and published nude stills at the moment the Doctor Who fandom faced an outpouring aggressive online misogyny. Whether the nude photos are real images taken out of their intended context or fabricated images used to induce fear, photographs of women's naked bodies have been used as weapons against them for a long, long time. Some psychologists, who have studied the phenomena of sexual objectification, even believe this to be a catalyst for violence against women–as in, once you objectify her, your propensity for violence against her increases substantially.
The Sun published these screenshots right alongside articles about how the casting of a woman as the Doctor is transparently pathetic pandering to political correctness, clearly sending the message that Whittaker's sexy screenshots were acceptable, but her role as one of the most prolific characters in TV history was not. No matter whether or not the episodes were technically available to anyone, the magazine's article exists within a context where sexual objectification is treated as both a value for women to aspire to and also a weapon used against us. It's barely a stone's-throw away from GamerGate red-pill politics: Women have a place, and it's not here.
When I started watching Doctor Who, I was about fifteen. I began in the Tumblr fandom, because it was the safest place I could stretch my nerd-girl wings and fly–but there was always another boy who assured me he knew the show better, loved the show more, had more of a stake in the characters. Still, like all other fans, I fell in love with the mixture of emotional complexity and exciting adventure offered by Doctor Who. My friends and I held regular conversations in which we discussed who was "our" Doctor–a shorthand for which Doctor we thought captured the character's essence the best, or which one we loved the most. I felt as bonded to the character as any other fan, whatever form he took in regeneration. But as time went on, it became clear that the show didn't feel quite as bonded to me. I remember the disillusionment that came after the casting of Matt Smith, and subsequently the casting of Peter Capaldi, and how my little online community of super fans grew tired of being told again and again that our faces and bodies could never appear as that of the most wonderful being in the universe. Eventually, we just stopped watching. Our Doctor was never going to materialize.
But this casting–no matter how many frivolous articles try to reorient the conversation around the Doctor's sex appeal and ignore the her power–is an invitation back in. Moffat is gone. A female Doctor is here. The attempts to objectify Whittaker in light of this casting have a long history in the way women are devalued through sexually explicit content, but it doesn't change the fact that her presence on the show will tell little girls watching–and some formerly-disillusioned women like me jumping back into fandom for one last hurrah–that we do belong. No amount of objectification can take our Doctor away from us now.

NEW LONDON, Conn. – Wellesley scored two first half goals as they topped Coast Guard 2-0 in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action Friday night.
With the loss, the Bears fall to 4-5 overall and 1-2 in conference play. The Blue improve to 3-5-2 on the season and 2-1 in the NEWMAC.
Senior Melise Knowles had a goal and an assist for Wellesley while sophomore Carley Phillips scored her team leading fifth goal of the season.
Knowles got the Blue on the board early as she received a pass at the left side of the penalty box, beat her defender and rifled a shot into the back of the net for her third goal of the season and a 1-0 lead in the seventh minute.
Senior Michelle Hernandez had the best attempt for Coast Guard in the 12th minute as she ripped a shot from twenty yards out forcing a diving save from sophomore goalkeeper Olivia Reckley.
In the 21st minute the Bears had another opportunity to get on the board as sophomore Claire Hurley sent a corner kick in from the left side. The cross got over the hands of Reckley and bounced in the center of the penalty box. Sophomore Lydia VanWinkle met the bounce with a header and put it on goal, but the Blue defense cleared it off the line and out of danger.
Knowles set up the second and final goal of the game for Wellesley right before the end of the half as she slipped past the Bears defense and charged in on goal. Knowles attempted the shot but junior goalkeeper Rachel Boohar made a sprawling save. The rebound however spilled to Phillips who one touched it into the back of the net for the 2-0 lead heading into halftime.
The Blue managed to hold the Coast Guard's offense at bay in the second half and made their 2-0 lead stand for their second NEWMAC win of the season.
Boohar (4-5) made eight saves on ten shots on goal allowing the two goals. Boohar is fifth in the conference with 48 saves on the season.
Reckley (3-5-2) six saves on six shots on goal for her third shutout of the season.
The Bears are back in action on October 3rd, when they travel to South Hadley, Massachusetts for a NEWMAC game against Mount Holyoke. Opening kickoff is 6:00.
