Writing – I do it every day. Overcoming all my fears and doubts, I find my laptop and put together all those words to draft a blog. To me, writing is something which should make my readers live the specific moment I am writing about. It's like making readers feel what my characters are feeling. As a writer, I do struggle a lot, specially because it is not something which I do full-time. So, while I was trying to find out something to write about today and since I was struggling, fiddling with the pen and browsing through my Facebook, and at the same time thinking about what to write, I thought I can probably write about the struggles every writer goes through. I might miss on a few points but yes, I'll try to cover it all.
- Being public about your personal life
Okay so being a daily blogger, I have to generally talk about the events which happen in my life on a daily basis and I have to find how that can be helpful to my readers. Basically, making my readers experience what I have already experienced and learn from it without having to face the consequences. Sometimes, I experience something which is like too personal to be shared with everyone around. So, even if I want to let people know of the loopholes, I really can't do that.
- Struggle with perfectionism
A must necessary but difficult skill for writer is attaining perfectionism. Drafting a specific article 100 times is what makes it even worse, though you start drafting better articles with every attempt. But is it ever perfect? NO, it's not.
- Self-Confidence
This is something which I struggle on every single time I am writing a blog. So, I get the topic and I start writing, but once I am half-way through the blog, I start thinking if it's worth it. Whether my readers are able to connect with me or not? And I don't feel ashamed to say that I am scared to write a blog every time I do it because no one is perfect, right?
- Managing time
I know I shouldn't be complaining about this one since I am the one who has chosen to opt for Daily as well as Travel Blogs, but managing time every day is challenging. Specially at times, when I forget to schedule a post for the next day, it's so frustrating. This makes me experience so many sleepless nights, yes, there are times, when I just can't sleep because I am working on my blogs and 10 other things.
- Motivation
Alright, this is something which is the most important factor to keep you going. MOTIVATION! When it comes to writing every day, there are days when I just feel like leaving everything else and just going off to sleep. Being a self-motivator, I have to keep motivating myself constantly specially when I have my "burn-out" days.
As long as you put your heart and soul in to anything that you do, there is nothing that can stop you. Struggles are a part of every profession, right? I believe getting through these hardships is something which brings you one step closer to your goal.

Work on protecting Eyemouth properties from flooding starts this month and residents are invited to an information event next week.
There will be partial road closures on Church Street and Harbour Road, Eyemouth, for two weeks, starting on Monday, September 17, as work begins to confirm ground conditions and the placement of utility services ahead of the construction of a new water storage tank by Scottish Water alliance partner amey Black and Veatch (aBV).
Local access will be maintained for residents and RNLI crews but some parking bays in the main town car park will also be out of use as the ground is tested there.
A number of properties in the town have experienced internal flooding at times of heavy rainfall which overwhelms the sewer network. Future work will be designed to improve capacity of the sewer network and protect properties and streets from flooding.
Scott Fraser of Scottish Water said: "Scottish Water is working to reduce the risk of sewer flooding in Eyemouth. The investigative work is an essential part of the process before we start major infrastructure improvement projects. We appreciate these works are disruptive to local residents and would like to thank them for their patience.
"Once the investigation is complete we will be able to finalise the design of these works and will continue to keep the community updated on progress."
An information event is being held at Eyemouth Community Centre on Monday, September 10, from 4pm-7pm.

No matter where we turn – change seems to be a constant part of everyday life. It reminds us that things we have come to accept as normal are never the case. Moreover, this applies to all aspects of life.
In early May 2016, the government brought down a budget that heralded significant changes to superannuation.
Read Related Article: Super Changes: Do They Affect Me?
At the time of writing most of the superannuation announcements were due to take effect from 1 July 2017.
However – within a week of the budget being released both Houses of Parliament were dissolved, and a general election was called for 2 July. The legislation required to support the budget changes cannot be passed until after a new government is sworn in, and whether the changes will be legislated at all, or occur in a different way, will depend on the outcome after polling day.
With the focus of mainstream media being firmly upon the recent election, it is easy for some of the good news from the budget to be lost in the sea of coverage.
Nevertheless; the 2016 budget included some positive announcements that will enable many Australians to prepare for a better retirement. But on that point; there were also a couple of measures that have not been as popularly received. As we all know, the negatives tend to be more newsworthy, and in this instance, the media has had a field day.
The reality is – no matter which political party or coalition of parties forms the next government – superannuation, tax, and social security policies are going to be subject to ongoing tinkering. This will be due to the government of the day making the changes
they believe are necessary to ensure fairness, and a financially responsible outcome, for the Australian taxpayers.
For the main part – we are in favour of the changes that provides the best outcome for us individually. However; sometimes we need to sit back and accept that a change might not provide the best possible outcome for us personally but, in a broader sense, it is probably best for the wider community.
No matter which way you look at it; Australians still live in a 'lucky country'. We have a superannuation system that allows us to build significant wealth for our retirement. It is a tax effective environment, and supported by compulsory employer sponsored contributions.
In addition, we have a social security system that provides a government-sponsored safety net for those who (through circumstances) have been unable to adequately do so on their own for their retirement. We are not 'cast out' and left to fend for ourselves, or become a financial burden on our families. Even if relying exclusively on the age pension – it is adequate to support a modest retirement lifestyle.
At the end of the day we need to get used to the fact constant change is here to stay.
What we can change, however, is our perception and our ability to adapt; ensuring we live our lives to the fullest.

text: (Bloomberg) -- The Reserve Bank of India hardly intervened to support the rupee during the Turkey-driven rout in emerging markets in the week ended Aug. 17, according to the Bloomberg Economics' estimate. This was a departure from the central bank's recent aggressive defense of the currency, though the RBI's hands off-approach on the exchange rate is likely to be limited to periods of broad risk-off sentiment in emerging markets. Trying to defend the rupee in such circumstances would be challenging, and probably lead to a sharp depletion of its $400 billion in foreign-currency reserves..©2018 Bloomberg L.P.

After a long break, my NFL Weekly Transaction Tracker is back, just in time for all of the preseason roster changes.
After ten seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who drafted Mathis with the 39th overall pick in 2003, Mathis is moving up north to Detroit to try and shore up their secondary.
This contract with the Lions is just for one year, which is to be expected for a 32-year old who had to wait until the middle of preseason to find a team. As of right now, the monetary value of the contract is unknown but it is expected to be for the veteran minimum for the same reasons that this is only a one year contract.
The Jaguars all-time interceptions leader played his college ball at Bethune-Cookman, a college that currently has 3,400 students. Despite playing at such a small school, Mathis was able to become a second round draft pick and instantly became a starter for the Jaguars. In his ten seasons with the Jaguars, Mathis played in 137 out of a possible 160 regular season games and added three games in the postseason.
In his best season, 2006, Mathis recorded 63 tackles while intercepting 8 passes, a career high, and deflected 20 passes. For this great season, Mathis was rewarded with his only career Pro-Bowl berth and, more importantly, he was one of the first team All-Pro cornerbacks.
While 2006 was his best season, Mathis' best game came in Wild Card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2007 season. Mathis helped the Jaguars advance to the Divisional Playoffs by intercepting two passes, including one that he was able to return for a touchdown.
Already, Mathis is seeing first team reps with the Lions, where he is playing in the slot. He is also taking some snaps at safety. The Lions have veteran Chris Houston at one cornerback and rookie Darius Slay at the other. Mathis has taken over for second year player Bill Bentley at the slot cornerback position. Bentley is the future for the Lions at this spot but, this signing indicates that he isn't quite ready yet. It never hurts to bring in a veteran to hold down the fort until younger players are ready, and the Lions have done just that with this signing.
In the biggest move of the week, the Dallas Cowboys gave 27-year old, star middle linebacker, Sean Lee a six-year contract extension.
As you would expect, this extension is worth big money. The yearly average is $7 million which makes the value of the contract $42 million. This can increase to $8.5 million each year if Lee can play in 80% of the team's defensive snaps each year. If this playing time incentive is reached, the value of the contract will increase to $51 million. The signing bonus for this deal is $10 million and the total guaranteed money is $16.1 million. Lee had one more year left on his rookie contract so, this new contract will kick in starting next season.
The low guaranteed money and the playing time incentives are included in this contract because Lee has suffered various injuries in his three-year career so far. Out of a possible 48 games, Lee has played in 35, which equates to missing just less than a whole season. In his NFL career, Lee has dislocated his wrist, which actually only forced him to miss one game as he opted against season-ending surgery, and suffered a toe injury that made him miss ten games last season. In his rookie season, he missed two games due to various aliments. His injuries extend past his NFL career as Lee tore his ACL at Penn State University during his college career.
Despite these injuries, Lee is a premier middle linebacker in the NFL. His breakout season came in 2011, while he was playing with a dislocated wrist. He recorded 105 tackles and intercepted 4 passes that season. Last season, his play was in line with 2011 before his season-ending toe injury.
This offseason, the Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and hired Monte Kiffin to replace him. With this switch, comes a change in defensive scheme. The Cowboys will be going from an aggressive, blitzing 3-4 defense to a Tampa-2, 4-3 defense. This new defense will give Lee new responsibilities as the middle linebacker but, this shouldn't stop him from being one of the NFL's best middle linebackers. One of the best middle linebackers in recent memory, Brian Urlacher, played in the same scheme in Chicago and had an excellent career so Lee should be fine.
Overall, I like this contract for both sides. Lee gets his payday and is now one of the highest paid middle linebackers in the league. The Cowboys have good protection from injury as only $16.1 million is guaranteed. Also, the Cowboys needed to lock Lee up as he would have become a free agent this season and current defensive leader DeMarcus Ware is starting to age.
The 49ers and the Chiefs have exchanged former first round picks who were both considered to be reaches at the time and both have had disappointing NFL careers so far.
Jenkins was drafted with the 30th overall pick by the 49ers in 2012 NFL Draft out of the University of Illinois. Being active in just three games, Jenkins was on the field for 37 snaps and dropped the only pass thrown his way. This preseason, Jenkins caught only one pass and fumbled the ball after. The definition of a disappointing first round pick, Jenkins is the only receiver taken in the first round since 1970 to not record a catch for the team that drafted him. This stat could get worse as well, since the researcher stopped after getting to 1970.
Baldwin was drafted by the Chiefs out of the University of Pittsburgh in the 2011 NFL Draft with the 26th overall pick. He played in 26 out of a possible 32 games for the Chiefs catching 41 passes for 579 yards and 2 touchdowns in his two seasons there. In just two preseason games, Baldwin had dropped three passes, continuing his problems with catching the ball. His NFL career got off on the wrong foot as he injured his wrist in a locker room fight with veteran teammate Thomas Jones.
This trade was much needed for both players as they had worn out their welcome with the lack of production that is expected from a first round wide receiver. Both players should make the roster of their new teams but, unless they produce, their roster spot next year is in question.
I believe the 49ers got the better end of the trade as Baldwin has at least caught an NFL pass. He has also shown flashes, albeit limited ones, unlike Jenkins.

Griffin scores 44 points in grudge match against Clippers
Blake Griffin was out for revenge on Saturday and he got it as the Detroit Pistons defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 109-104.
The Pistons star returned to Los Angeles to take on his old team, the Clippers, and he scored 44 points on 13-of-23 shooting.
Griffin has continued to develop his skill set since entering the league in 2009. He appeared to avoid shaking the hand of Clippers owner Steve Balmer before the matchup, but claims he was simply locked into his pregame routine.
Danilo Gallinari led the way for the Clippers, scoring 23 points. Lou Williams scored 22, while Montrezl Harrell contributed 21 to round out the scoring for Los Angeles.
The 24-18 Clippers got off to a hot start this season, but have dropped to sixth place in the Western Conference. The 18-23 Pistons are just outside the playoff picture, sitting ninth in the Eastern Conference.
Towns leads the Timberwolves
Karl-Anthony Towns put together a monster stat line of 27 points and 27 rebounds as the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the New Orleans Pelicans 110-106.
Aaron Gordon recorded 28 points and 12 rebounds to help the Orlando Magic stun the Boston Celtics 105-103.
Kelly Oubre Jr. dropped 26 points and 11 rebounds on the first-place Denver Nuggets to give the Phoenix Suns a 102-93 win.
Brown's shooting leaves a lot to be desired
Bruce Brown scored two points on 0-of-seven shooting for the Pistons.
Iman Shumpert scored five points on two-of-nine shooting as the Sacramento Kings took down the Charlotte Hornets 104-97.
Carter says no!
Wendell Carter Jr. stuffed Royce O'Neale at the rim in the Chicago Bulls' 110-102 loss against the Utah Jazz.

Dear Readers: A recent column about items left in the bottom of a customer's shopping cart drew a great response! The question: Would you tell the cashier, tell the customer or look the other way?
The majority of you said you would tell the customer about the item, but in a nonaccusatory, friendly way. Most would speak just loudly enough so the checker could hear. Many people thought that the item left behind probably was just an honest oversight. Some said that theft MIGHT be a reason customers leave items out of sight of cashiers.
Others said they would inform the cashier after the customer left the check stand. They wanted store security to deal with the issue.
Those who said to ignore the situation were fearful of retaliation. The only time to get involved is if someone is in danger, a reader said.
Several professional cashiers also wrote in and said that they are trained to check the bottom of the basket, and they also employ a "buddy system" to help each other complete transactions.
Great feedback! - Heloise
Dear Heloise: I just read a comment in your column praising e-readers for making reading easier for people with vision problems. There also is another advantage: I have severe arthritis in my hands, and the e-reader is so much easier to hold and turn pages on than a print book. It also is easy to travel with and carry. I love your columns and read them daily. - Eileen in Hagerstown, Md.
Dear Heloise: Placing the lid to a box of computer paper under my cat's litter box has really helped to contain the amount of loose cat litter that my cat tracks onto the floor. Just remove the litter box and empty the box top into the trash or back into the litter box. - Debbie in Huntsville, Ala.
Dear Heloise: I recently had a birthday party for my son. We sent out invitations with an RSVP date clearly stated. By the time the RSVP date rolled around, we had heard from only half of the people on our list. I then had the time-consuming task of contacting the people we hadn't heard from to find out if they were coming or not.
It is REALLY hard to plan for food, party favors, etc., when you don't know how many people will actually be attending!
In the end, we made more food than we needed, but it is better to have too much food than not enough. - S.S. in Texas
Dear Heloise: After toasting two pieces of toast and putting on butter and jam, I place one piece on top of the warm toaster. It's still warm after I've eaten the first one. - Kay in Mission Viejo, Calif.

Tax refunds are a hot topic right now. Some Americans have been shocked by how small their refund is this year, due largely to changes associated with the most recent tax reform, as we report in "5 Things You Must Know About Your 2019 Tax Refund."
Others likely are getting a refund closer to what they expected, and some taxpayers may even get a bigger refund than anticipated.
Whatever your refund status, you want to put that extra cash to good use. If you're not sure what to do with your refund this year, following are some ideas that will make you richer.
1. Pay down debt
Using your refund to reduce high-interest balances cuts down on both interest charges and the overall amount you owe.
It also may improve your credit score by lowering your credit utilization ratio, as Money Talks News founder Stacy Johnson explains in "What's the Fastest Way to Increase My Credit Score?" And a better score can mean easier access to credit at better rates — something that definitely can make you richer.
Look at it this way: Paying down a credit card charging 18 percent interest is like earning 18 percent of the amount you've cleared, risk-free and tax-free. There aren't many investments that offer returns like that.
For more help banishing your debt, check out "8 Guaranteed Ways to Get Rid of Debt Fast" and consider contacting a reputable credit counselor.
2. Create an emergency fund
Living paycheck to paycheck often means there's never enough cash to get ahead. Use your refund to build a financial cushion, ideally enough to cover at least three months of living expenses.
The advantages to doing so include:
- Bills always get paid on time, saving you late fees.
- You never need a cash advance, saving on the fees and high interest those charge.
- You can stock up on bargains at the grocery store, enabling you to always get the best price.
And the peace of mind? Priceless.
For tips on creating an emergency fund, check out "9 Ways to Build an Emergency Fund When Money's Tight."
3. Save on insurance
Many car insurance companies offer a discount if you pay the six- or 12-month premium in full. Use a chunk of your refund to do that, and put the rest in a high-yield savings account so you can raise the deductible on your policy — a simple way to save 10 to 20 percent on your premium.
For more tips on cutting car insurance costs, check out "The Complete Guide to Getting the Best Possible Deal on Car Insurance."
4. Take a class
Use the money from your tax refund to pay for classes in a skill you've always wanted to learn.
Taking classes to boost your skills might be good leverage for a raise at work. Or, you could begin training for a new — and more lucrative — career. Looking for ideas in new career fields? Check out:
- "The 10 Best Employers for Work-From-Home Jobs in 2019"
- "The 10 Most Lucrative College Majors for 2019"
5. Invest
You could start funding a 529 college savings plan, or open an individual retirement account for yourself. Earn 10 percent annually for 20 years, and a $3,000 refund will blossom into more than $21,000.
Make it a habit and invest $3,000 every year for 20 years, earning that same 10 percent, and you'll end up with more than $200,000.
Think your refund isn't big enough to bother investing? See "How to Get Started Investing With $500 or Less."
6. Start a business
Use your refund as seed money for a side business. You could:
- Launch a website.
- Sell your own arts and crafts.
- Start a garden and sell your extra fruits and veggies at a farmers market.
What are you planning to do with your tax refund this year? Tell us below or on our Facebook page.

Faculty News
Professor Martin Gruber is interviewed about target date funds, based on his recent research
— January 6, 2018
Excerpt from Barron's -- "A recent paper co-authored by Martin Gruber, an emeritus professor of finance at New York University, found that target-date fund managers often picked funds that helped their firm's own objectives at the expense of potentially lower returns. Sometimes that meant picking their own higher-cost fund over a cheaper alternative, or picking a younger, smaller fund from their own stable over one with a longer record—both of which led to underperformance. 'For most people who don't want to get too involved, target-date funds make sense, but they can't just say it's a good investment. They have to shop around,' Gruber told Barron's."

Urban and Rural Construction
To build Qingdao into a harmonious, ecological and habitable city and in keeping with the principles of scientific planning, intensive construction and meticulous management, Qingdao has accelerated coordinated development of central urban areas, suburbs and rural areas as a whole, tried to form a new pattern of integration of urban and rural areas and kept expanding the space of city development and improving municipal functions and quality.
Urban planning highlights scientificity, guidance and authority. The new round of urban overall planning revision has been revised and completed, the strategy of "protection along the bay, development around the bay" has been implemented, and the urban spatial layout of "relying on central city, developing Jiaozhou Bay, constituting groups and axial radiating" has been adopted, and the building of the modern Greater Qingdao framework and urban town system has been accelerated. Efforts have been made to build the core circle of Jiaozhou Bay focusing on the north park area of Qingdao high-tech zone, the development of key cities and multi-groups has been started in an all-round way, and industrial enterprises' removal and transformation in the old city has proceeded orderly. The systems of the municipal planning committee and the expert consulting committee as well as the responsibility system for plan examination and approval have been improved. The coverage of control plans for urban areas is 100%; the coverage of detailed control regulations for built-up areas of the five cities is 95%.
Municipal construction lays emphasis on quality, excellence and preservation. Projects including airport expansion, east-west expressway reconstruction, Jiaozhou-Jinan Railway electrification reconstruction, railway station reconstruction and long-distance bus station reconstruction have been completed and put into operation. More than 20 large and medium-sized overpasses have been built in the city, and urban expressway network system has been improved. The Jiaozhou Bay Submarine Tunnel and the main line of the Bay Bridge will soon be linked up and will be completed and open to traffic in 2011. The construction of urban subway, Qingdao North Railway Station, Haitian-Qingdao Railway, Qingdao-Yantai-Weihai-Rongcheng Interurban Railway, Qingdao-Longkou Expressway, etc. has begun. The construction of "Four Systems" (i.e. urban water supply, heat supply, power supply and gas supply) and pipeline network reconstruction are speeded up; key functional projects of Qingdao Grand Theatre, Polar Ocean World, Modern Art Center, Municipal Sports Center and Olympic Sailing Stadium have been built, greatly improving carrying capacity of urban comprehensive function. Extension of urban public services to rural areas has been promoted, construction of rural infrastructure such as road, water, electricity, gas facilities and housing has been strengthened, comprehensive environmental improvement focusing on the "five changes" in villages has been promoted in an all-round way, construction of new socialist villages has accelerated, and productive and living conditions of rural areas have improved.
Municipal management is oriented to law, people and local role. The management mechanism of "two-level governments, three-level management and four-level network" has been improved, the localized management system has been established, and the law enforcement system for municipal management has been improved. The digital urban management command system has been established, and the mode of intensive management has been promoted and gradually extended to urban and rural communities to improve comprehensive management level.
Environmental Protection
Based on the concept of "creating beautiful environment, building pleasant homes", Qingdao carried out the construction plan of eco-city to build a resource conserving and environmental-friendly city, by taking resource conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection as priority, developing recycling economy, green economy and low-carbon economy, exploiting and using new resources, eliminating and preventing pollution both in old city renovation and new city construction, in combination of orderly exploitation and proper protection. It strives to build an eco-city by 2020, and to create a living environment with coordinated development of economy and society, peaceful coexistence of human and nature, and that boasts prominent local features, beautiful mountain and sea, clean environment, comprehensive function and comfortable lifestyle.
The idea of resource conservation and emission reduction is strengthened, which can be reflected in implementing Top 10 resource conservation projects including that in architecture, resource conservation in five key sectors including industry and transportation, carrying out construction of industrial smoke desulfurization equipment and sewage treatment plants, conducting projects of pollution discharging outlets along the front coast, environmental protection of Jiaozhou Bay and comprehensive renovation of Shantou Park, controlling target and responsibility assessment in 110 major energy-consuming units and environmental supervision in 100 major pollutant-emitting enterprises, and reducing emission of atmospheric and water pollutant sharply. All of the 12 districts under its supervision have been built into national environmental protection model cities. At the end of 2009, comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid wastes reached 98%, sewage treatment rate was over 80%, good air quality in urban area totaled 333 days, with the quality rate of 91.2%. By the end of 2010, the goals for the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", a reduction of 22% in energy consumption per ten thousand yuan GDP, a reduction of 26.32% in SO2 emission, and a reduction of 18% in COD emission, will be fulfilled.
It strives to build a green Qingdao by making greater efforts in forest planting, implementing "Ten Green Project", and increasing forest carbon sinks. At the end of 2009, it has become the National Afforestation Model City and National Garden City, with the forest coverage rate of 36.1%, completed afforestation coverage rate of 43.2%, and 14.5 square meters public green area per capita. It was also awarded the National Seawater Desalinization Model City, and National Recycling Economy Model Pilot City for its development of recycling economy.
Qingdao has become one of the fittest city for business establishment and human settlement. It has won UN-Habitat Environmental Award, National Environmental Award and the Fifth Baogang Environmental Award. At the 61st Conference of International Association of Horticultural Producers, Qingdao won the right to host the 2014 International Horticultural Exhibition.

text: It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Journal of the International Academy of Physical Therapy Research (JIAPTR), the inaugural journal for physiotherapists in South Korea. This is an exciting turning point for South Korean Physiotherapists, providing them with a forum to both report and direct Physiotherapy practice nationally and internationally. Importantly, the JIAPR will contribute to the expanding evidence underpinning Physiotherapy practice. The presentations will span interesting case studies to reports from formal research projects, all of which will contribute to best practice. Other forms of communications will include letters to the editors, methodological advances and brief reviews. As physiotherapy practice is routinely informed by research from both within and without the Physiotherapy profession, contributions from all researchers who provide findings and reports that will inform physiotherapy practice will be welcomed. In conclusion, I congratulate Prof. Min, Kyung Ok, Chairman and the editorial board, including Prof. Jin, Maei Wha and Dr. Mi-Joung Lee for producing the first issue of this exciting new journal. Forthcoming issues, biannually, will continue to inform clinical practice.

Captain Nathan Nukunuku has a shot at becoming the most decorated softballer in Black Sox history after being named for a record seventh world championships squad.
The 38-year-old Auckland infielder will lead a 17-strong Black Sox team to defend their world title in Prague in June where Nukunuku will chase a record fifth gold medal.
The veteran infielder – first selected for New Zealand in 1999 – is among a select band of five players with four gold medals for the Black Sox, who have won seven world titles.
Head coach Mark Sorenson – another four-time world champion – said Nukunuku's contribution to New Zealand softball and to the Black Sox had been immense and he remained a clearcut choice.
"We are blessed to have such a strong leader, and someone the group want to follow. It's Nathan's team – it has been for a couple of years – he's a great leader that they all trust."
Sorenson has named three world series rookies, including Wellington outfielder Reilly Makea, 20, whose father, Thomas, is one of the four-time world champions.
Auckland pitcher Daniel Chapman and Canterbury outfielder Jackson Watt – both 21 – are the other world series first-timers.
Thirteen players are returning from the Black Sox's 2017 gold medal winning team, while Wellington infielder Josh Raemaki, who missed that tournament with a knee injury, played at the 2015 world series.
Sorenson, Black Sox coach since 2014, said it had been "probably the hardest group to select.
Canterbury infielder Tyron Bartorillo is aiming for his fourth world title after winning with the Black Sox in 2013 and 2017 and his native Australia in 2009.
Hayes and outfielders Ben Enoka (Auckland) and Wayne Laulu (Wellington) are seeking a third winners' ring after being part of the 2013 and 2017 successes.
Sixteen of the 17-man squad were in the Black Sox team at the Challenge Cup international tournament in Auckland in February. The exception was Canterbury infielder Josh Harbrow, who captained the Black Sox B team. The 2017 world series winner has forced his way back in after outstanding batting form in the latter half of the domestic season.
The 2019 New Zealand men's softball world championships squad
Pitchers: Nik Hayes (Auckland), Daniel Chapman (Auckland), Josh Pettett (Wellington).
Catchers: Zane van Lieshout (Auckland), Kallan Compain (Auckland).
Infielders: Nathan Nukunuku (Auckland, captain), Jerome Raemaki (Wellington), Joel Evans (Hutt Valley), Cole Evans (Auckland), Tyron Bartorillo (Canterbury), Josh Harbrow (Canterbury).
Outfielders: Ben Enoka (Auckland), Campbell Enoka (Auckland), Thomas Enoka (Auckland), Reilly Makea (Wellington), Wayne Laulu (Wellington), Jackson Watt (Canterbury).
Head coach: Mark Sorenson (Hutt Valley). Assistant-coach: Daryl Marino (Hutt Valley). Battery coach: Jim Wana (Wellington). Manager: Casey Eden (Auckland).
The WBSC world men's softball championships will be held in Prague, Czech Republic from June 13 to 26, 2019.
Nathan Nukunuku will be attending a record seventh men's world championship (2000, 2004, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019).
He shares the record (6) with Mark Sorenson, Thomas Makea, Jarrad Martin and Brad Rona.
Nukunuku has a shot at becoming the most decorated player in Black Sox history.
He has four world championship gold medals (2000, 2004, 2013, 2017), an accolade he shares with Sorenson (1984, 1996, 2000, 2004), Makea and Martin (both 1996, 2000, 2004, 2013) and Rona (2000, 2004, 2013, 2017).

Thompson was suspended by independent judicial officer Simon Thomas following a hearing in London on Wednesday, World Rugby announced.
In the context of his playing schedule it means that Thompson will miss Samoa's final World Cup warm-up fixture against Wasps in Coventry this weekend, plus the pool game against the United States in Brighton on Sep. 20.

Clean Room Environment Control
Many manufacturing, inspection, assembly and testing activities MUST be performed in an ultra clean environment. Many of these areas produce medical devices that must remain sterile and contaminate free. Manufacturing common items, such as DVD's or band aids can be disrupted with small amounts of fine dust and biological contaminants. Many facilities run 24/7, and maintenance activities must be performed without compromising the clean room environment. Food processing lines must shut down if work cannot be performed without a guarantee of containment for ceiling debris during maintenance.

Polaris has just delivered the strongest message to off-road fans that SXS racing is not only here to stay but is the class to watch with the announcement of Evans Motorsport now partnering in the management of the Polaris Racing Australia factory team.
With seven Australian Rally Championships between them, Cody Crocker and Simon Evans will spearhead the Victorian-based team and will launch an attack on the legendary Finke Desert Race and contest the SXS Australian Championship which engages drivers in wheel to wheel battles around MX circuits. The team will race production based Polaris RZR XP Turbo vehicles which combine light weight, long travel suspension and 168HP in stock form to provide an amazing spectacle for fans. It will be the fourth year for the fledgling series and since debuting on Channel Nine in 2017 and again for 2018, the series provides sponsors with one of the few opportunities to see their brands on prime time television at an affordable level when compared to many other sports attracting main stream television exposure. More champions from other disciplines are gravitating towards this series and it is unsurprising due to the relatively low cost, sponsor rewards and the shear racing experience in one of its most aggressive and raw forms.
"Like most great plans, the ideas flowed over a beer", said rally legend Simon Evans in his usual jovial manner. "Turns out Polaris and I were thinking the same thing and we pretty much had it worked out before the hangover kicked in. I raced the whole series in 2017 after getting a taste in 2016 and I just love it, it is an absolute blast".
Cody Crocker, 2016 SXS Championship winner and another rally legend, was equally excited about the next level of this sport, "I sat out the first year assisting Polaris with getting the series established but I couldn't do that forever and I was getting edgy at every event. It was a new experience for me moving from the high speeds and precision of rallying to the added dimension of massive jumps and the rough and tumble of banging wheels with other racers but racing is racing and so is winning".
Crocker has an axe to grind after finishing runner up in 2017, "The luck didn't go our way a couple of times in 2017 despite winning many races and one of the rounds. The competition is so tough now you can't afford to have a DNF for any reason, so we'll take those learnings into 2018 and get the Championship back again".
With these two champions in the Polaris Racing stable, the question gets asked about team orders. The response was the same from both drivers, "No team orders, we are both here to win the championship". Should be a very interesting outcome!
More about the drivers…
Cody Crocker is the SXS Series Champion for 2016 and runner-up for 2017 in his new Polaris RZR XP Turbo. Cody is a pioneer of SXS racing in Australia following a decade long dominance of rallying with three Australian Rally Championships and four Asia-Pacific Rally Championships with the Subaru team. With a move to introduce SXS to rally style racing, Cody again dominated the SXS Challenge four times winning the series from 2012 to 2015. A calm and calculating strategist on four wheels.
Simon Evans is a hard charging champion with four Australian Rally Championships to his name. From an early career in Quad racing prior to his years in rallying, SXS racing heralds a return to wheel to wheel racing for Simon. His fast and fearless attitude on the track a direct contrast to his jovial off-track demeanor.

North Korea says missile ready for mass production, US questions progress
[SEOUL] North Korea said on Monday it successfully tested what it called an intermediate-range ballistic missile, which met all technical requirements and could now be mass-produced, although US officials and experts questioned the extent of its progress.
The United States, which has condemned repeated North Korean missile launches, said Sunday's launch of what North Korea dubbed the Pukguksong-2 was of a "medium-range" missile, and US-based experts doubted the reliability of the relatively new solid-fuel type after so few tests.
US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the test did not demonstrate a new capability, or one that could threaten the United States directly. But the test was North Korea's second in a week and South Korea's new liberal government said it dashed its hopes for peace.
US officials have been far less sanguine about the test of a long-range KN-17, or Hwasong-12, missile just over a week ago, which US officials believe survived re-entry to some degree.
North Korea said that launch tested the capability to carry a "large-size heavy nuclear warhead" and put the US mainland within "sighting range".
Western experts say the Hwasong-12 test did appear to have advanced North Korea's aim of developing an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the US mainland, even if it is still some way off from achieving that capability.
The UN Security Council is due to meet on Tuesday behind closed doors to discuss Sunday's test, which defies Security Council resolutions and sanctions. The meeting was called at the request of the United States, Japan and South Korea.
Washington has been trying to persuade China to agree to new sanctions on North Korea, which has conducted dozens of missile firings and tested two nuclear bombs since the start of last year.
US President Donald Trump has warned that a "major, major conflict" with North Korea is possible over its weapons programmes, although US officials say tougher sanctions, not military force, are the preferred option.
North Korea's state news agency, KCNA, said the latest missile test was supervised by leader Kim Jong Un and verified the reliability of Pukguksong-2's solid-fuel engine, stage separation and late-stage guidance for a nuclear warhead. It said data was recorded by a device mounted on the warhead.
"Saying with pride that the missile's rate of hits is very accurate and Pukguksong-2 is a successful strategic weapon, he (Kim) approved the deployment of this weapon system for action," KCNA said.
"Now that its tactical and technical data met the requirements of the Party, this type of missile should be rapidly mass-produced in a serial way..., he said."
KCNA said Mr Kim was able to view the Earth from a camera mounted on the missile.
"Supreme leader Kim Jong Un said it feels grand to look at the Earth from the rocket we launched and the entire world looks so beautiful," KCNA said.
South Korea's military said the missile flew about 500 km, reaching an altitude of 560 km.
It said the test would have provided more "meaningful data" for North Korea's missile programme, but further analysis was necessary to determine whether Pyongyang had mastered the technology needed to stop the warhead burning up on re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
US-based experts said the Pukguksong-2 would have a maximum range of about 1,500 km and questioned North Korea's assertion that the reliability of the solid-fuel missile had been proven, given limited testing.
"Entering mass production this early in the development phase is risky, but perhaps a risk North Korea feels comfortable managing," said Michael Elleman of the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Jeffrey Lewis, of the California-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies, said North Korea would probably continue to test the missile after deployment, fixing flaws as they emerged.
The use of solid fuel presents advantages for weapons because it is more stable and can be transported easily allowing for a launch at very short notice from mobile launchers.
Developing longer-range solid fuel missiles, however, was highly complicated and would "take time, lots of it," Mr Elleman said.
John Schilling, a missile expert contributing to Washington's 38 North think tank, estimated it would take until at least 2020 for North Korea to be able to develop an ICBM capable of reaching the US mainland and until 2025 for one powered by solid fuel.
North Korea's current missiles already pose a threat to South Korea and Japan and the tens of thousands of US troops based in both countries.
Daniel Russel, Washington's former top diplomat for Asia, said Pyongyang's aim appeared to be to convince the United States and the rest of the world of the need to accept North Korea as a nuclear-armed state.
"The intended message to the United States is that your pressure campaign won't work and we'll see your sanctions and raise you yet another advance in our ballistic missile programme," Mr Russel, now diplomat in residence at the Asia Society Policy Institute, told Reuters.
On Sunday US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson termed North Korea's missile testing "disappointing, disturbing" and said economic and diplomatic pressure would continue.
Japan's chief Cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said on Monday it was important to cut North Korea's foreign currency earnings and to block shipments and technology transfers that aid North Korea's nuclear missile development.
China repeated its call for all parties to exercise restraint and not let tension mount further.

|Brief Summary
|The Diarrhea Prevention with an investigational drug trial, will evaluate whether adding an investigational drug to the standard treatment for advanced colorectal cancer can reduce the amount of diarrhea a patient experiences. The standard and approved treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer is repeated cycles of chemotherapy consisting of a combination of irinotecan (also known as CPT-11, Camptosar), 5-fluorouracil (also known as 5FU), and leucovorin (also known as LV). Preclinical data from animal models suggest that the investigational drug may offer an effective means for preventing CPT-11/5FU/LV-induced diarrhea. It is also hypothesized that the investigational drug-mediated anti-angiogenesis could induce a favorable tumor response.

Behind every Musafia case is the lifetime of experience and passion of Dimitri Musafia himself. Trained in Cremona as a master violin maker, Dimitri Musafia recognized the need for a hand-crafted violin case to protect the world's most valuable instruments. Musafia and his assistants have been crafting Musafia cases by hand in Cremona, Italy, since 1983. Starting with years of careful research and development, tireless experimentation with every conceivable shell material, hardware and protective features, no effort was spared in meeting the core mission of providing the utmost in safety for precious instruments . . . and peace of mind for their owners.
It is no surprise that Musafia cases have gained a loyal following among the world's greatest artists, collectors and heads of state. With each and every case receiving the personal attention of Dimitri Musafia himself, these are not mere manufactured products €" they are lifelong investments that bring with them the assurance of Dimitri Musafia standing behind each Musafia case. With standardized replacement parts always available, as well as the expertise of the Musafia workshop standing by, owning a Musafia case is an experience from an era that has long since passed. That is why Musafia cases are the most sought after cases in the world.
"My name goes onto every case that leaves my shop. Each one is thus an extension of myself: For this reason I cannot allow that they be anything less than the best possible."

After looking at various cases in person at different violin shops, I acquired one of these from Shar. I've had this case for a few months now, and I don't believe I'd trade it for anything else. I live in an area where temperature and humidity can vary pretty wildly over the course of a single day, never mind through the seasons. Since I've used this case I have not had any weather-related issues when transporting my 19-century violin. The hidden pocket allows me to leave my purse at home when performing, and there is plenty of accessory space inside. The interior of the case is beautiful, and the quality of construction is superb. The exterior has a somewhat understated look, so you don't stand out from the crowd as you walk to your car after rehearsal. It even comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and detailed instructions for care of the case and use of the included humidifier, which by the way, is the most effective case humidifier I've ever used. If you have a fine violin, I would strongly consider using a Musafia case. This model is the very best there is.

Day 610 (Nepal Day 36)
I felt a little lost waking up this morning as I didn't have to prepare for a day of riding and it wasn't a rest day where I would throw myself at my chores. Instead, I didn't have to do anything if I didn't want to. I'd woken up at my usual early time (sunrise) so still got moving fairly early. I made a rough plan of where I wanted to walk, packed a little carry bag with a few things (water, notepad, kindle) and headed out. I may as well not have made a plan because I ended up succumbing to the labyrinth of Thamel and the surrounding area, letting myself be carried down whatever street or alley took my fancy. At one point I popped out in the Durban Square area and watched an archaeological team as they dug into the foundations of one of the ancient temples that is fractured as a result of the 2015 earthquake. One girl was English and I had a nice chat with her about the work she was doing and about Kathmandu in general. It was interesting to hear her perspective on the management of Kathmandu's important temples, both in the past and currently. I hope she succeeds in conveying her findings to the decision-makers who are in charge of preserving the temple into the future.
I continued wandering and started keeping a lookout for a place to eat. I'd started the day with biscuits, jam and bananas, but was keen to fill right up with daal baht. Eventually I came to an area along the river dominated by little recycling factories. The road was basically lined with shacks. Inside one I spotted a guy eating dahl baht. Yes! I walked in and discovered I too could get some for just 80r – the cheapest so far in Nepal. In the end, after two heaped platefuls, I was given it for free. I'd had fun chatting to different people with one guy acting as a translator and the novelty factor of having a foreigner there meant they wanted to gift the meal to me. I found my way back to Thamel and visited KEEP, where I sat down and read a bunch of material about their environmental initiatives. I also watched a BBC documentary called Carrying the Burden about the role and treatment of porters within Nepal's trekking industry.
Education over, I returned home where I managed to finally get a hot shower (my first in nearly three months). I had to ask about hot water at reception and ended up being given a key to another room that has guaranteed hot water (despite being told the opposite at check-in, the shared bathroom I have access to does not have hot water). After warming up, I spent some time treating tap water to make it drinkable. I then checked in on the French trio and hung out with them for a while in their room before joining them out for a dinner of momos. I'm just getting ready for bed and have watched a couple of TED talks about living a minimalist, waste-free life.

Video: If for some reason you still needed proof of Rian Johnson's Star Wars geek cred, look no further.
At this past weekend's Star Wars: The Last Jedi junket, the writer-director was presented with his dream vintage Star Wars toy, The Empire Strikes Back AT-AT, still in the box. It was found by the Toy Hunter Jordan Hembrough (whose show is, sadly, no longer on the air) and filmed for the Star Wars Show. You can watch it below (at 6:28).
Come on, how cute is that?
By the way, the rest of that episode is great too. For example, there's Anthony Daniels helping some droids on the Canto Bight set of The Last Jedi (at 2:16), as well as the moment Oscar Issac was finally presented with the revelation that our own James Whitbrook has been screaming about for years.
Even The Geniuses At Hot Toys Cannot Truly Capture The Glory Of Oscar Isaac's Face
Hot Toys' expensive yet gorgeous figures are known for their often jaw-dropping likenesses. The intricately detailed figures are almost like little homonculi, and we've frequently joked that they have basically captured the souls of the actors they're depicting. But sad news ahead. Not even Hot Toys could get Poe Dameron quite right.
That's at 3:16.
But Johnson getting handed the AT-AT, then carrying it out of the room, is the highlight. And let me say, I was at that junket (have you read my interview yet?) and saw Johnson walking around still holding the large box. That smile was still spread across his face long after leaving the interview. "I got the AT-AT!" he exclaimed to the on-lookers as he headed down the hall.

This time of year is packed full of holiday parties. This is a great time to catch up with family and friends, win ugly sweater contests, and eat delicious food. Unfortunately, this might not be a great time for your braces. In fact, your braces could be in danger if you don't take proper care of them. So, to help you care for your braces during holiday parties, our doctors have some tips for you, which are:
-Stay away from appliance-damaging foods: These foods could include caramel, toffee, apples, and other hard-to-eat, sticky, and chewy foods. These foods can break your brackets and wires and delay your orthodontic treatment.
-Brush and floss: Make sure to brush and floss your teeth after you have eaten your meal and treats. This can help you eliminate plaque buildup on your teeth and braces and can also help you keep your smile healthy and strong.
-Wear a mouthguard: If you play high-contact sports at your holiday parties, make sure to wear a mouthguard. That way if you get hit in the mouth, your braces and teeth can be safe from oral injury.
If you have any questions or if you would like to know more about how to care for your braces in Gallup, New Mexico, please reach out to Ortho*Dental, Inc. at 505-863-8100 when you have the chance. Our orthodontic team is here to help you, and we look forward to your phone call!
